When memory, though, car- ries us back over the years of our high school life, we are reminded of numerous experiences and events which seem new and unusual. Nor can we question these adages, for each of the three classes that we found here upon our entrance has left us a record of their high school days, and we find that their four years at Tennessee High were crowded with happenings very similar to those which we are prone to think new and unusual. In September, 1922, we inflicted our presence, one hundred and eleven (strong), upon B. T. H. S. and matriculated as Freshmen. We were green, fresh and proud as only Freshies can be. Two weeks later we were still green, but our freshness had somewhat dwindled and our pride had received many a severe jolt. We struggled thru our Freshman year, we even survived our first exams — that is, most of us did. Mac King was our president during this period. Exams alone were responsible for the depleted number that were Sophomores the next year, since the girls had not yet started to marry. By this time the feeling of responsibility was being felt by us as we w T ere beginning to enter into school activities. We had tried out in football, basket-ball and baseball and altho at this early time few had made a letter, we were out and doing our best to help make winning teams. Then, too, some of us had been turning in 90’s and 100’s regularly in classes — for we were determined from the start to be an intellectual class. We had become acclimated and were beginning to regain some of the self- confidence of which we had been so suddenly deprived as Freshmen: .. ... .was our leader in our fight against obscurity while we were Sophomores. The Junior year was one of bustling activity and pleasant recognition of our value to the school. We had armed! Without any outside aid, assisted only by Miss Owen, we accomplished things during this year of which, we can well be proud, and which will long stand as examples worthy of imitation of examples of all future Junior Classes. We needed money to entertain the Class of ’25. We sold candy, hot-dogs, ice-cream, pies, and Easter Eggs. Needing even more money than we had raised we decided to revive the Field Meet. Ibis plan was enthu- siastically received by the school; the athletes eagerly entered the various events. 32 Our newspapers gave us plenty of publicity and the merchants of Bristol responded to our requests that they donate prizes. Field Day was a big success. With all the money we had made during the year we took the Seniors to Big Creek for the annual Junior-Senior outing. We had also kept up the good work in Scholarship and athletics. Altho we did not yet look upon going to class as a pleasant means of spending forty-five minutes, we did take more interest than previously in what was going on during that time. Commencement brought the usual round and we watched another class take their diplomas, this time with unusual interest as we looked forward one year and tried to visualize ourselves — the Freshies of yester- day, the Seniors of tomorrow receiving our diplomas. The fall of 1925 came in due time and again we made our way to school not with the doubts and fears of Freshmen, nor yet with the over-bearing superiority of the Sophs, but with honest pride that most of the race had been run and that only a few months separated us from Commencement Day. Jack Stone, who had been our Junior president was re-elected president early in the year. When we returned in September, improvements met our eye. While we had been away a new addition had been made to the building, and the athletic field graded and enlarged until now we have one of the best equipped schools in the state. On our new held was developed the best football team since 1921. Four Seniors were on this team — the first to win from Johnson City in five years. Many of our members had dropped from the ranks leaving vacancies that were hard to fill. Yet 60 of the 111 who had entered as Freshmen have met and overcome all the obstacles that confront one traveling the rocky road to knowledge. To all our teachers, and especially to our sponsors. Miss Owen in our Junior year, and Miss Anderson in our Senior year, we are grateful for the help they have given us, for without it we know that we could not have succeeded. Thus, most of our life as a class is behind us! Four years we have helped, and seen Tennessee’s faithful student body and faculty work, with patience and love, for her success and prosperity. Now that we are about to join them, we would ask for a double portion of that spirit which is so characteristic of Tennessee High’s graduates and, entering the great School of Life would give our best efforts toward adding honor to the Alma Mater we have learned to love and respect. — Billy Davis. 33 East Wi anti Testament We, the Senior Class of the Tennessee High School, in the City of Bristol, State of Tennessee, on this the 31st day of May in the year of our Lord, Nineteen Hundred Twenty-six, being of sound mind and of a generous disposition, do hereby make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills and promising never to make another. 1st.

If you do, come with me and I shall take you to the Land of Dreams. Here we shall visit the cities, seeking my classmates of dear old Tennessee High. In the first city we find our beloved president. Alas! His fate is sad. for Jack no longer lives alone as Julia is the sweet hen-pecker. During a pleasant half-hour spent with them we learn that Nita Kensinger, Anna Lee Ager, and Clvde Vestal are teachers at the “New Woman’s College.” on the planet of Mars. A1 so Gladys Rutherford. Roberta Garret and Mary Sparger as dietitians in the same college, are trying to discover some food values in the vegetation there. We then go to a theatre where we see Billy Davis and J. T. McIntyre, world famous comedians and fancy dancers. Let us now go on to the next city. Here we find Eugene Pardue who is a tele- phone linesman. One day he received a severe shock when he overheard the conversation of Reion Campbell and Ruth Payne, two chorus girls. Here also we see Elizabeth Fugate, Ruby Sells. Elizabeth Cowan and Beulah Sparger, who have a camp for girls. This camp is a very popular one because they teach “How To Get Thin in hen Days.” As we enter the next city we pass a wonderful building. On inquiring what this building is, we are told that it is the art school which Amelia Davis has estab- lished. Her pupils furnish the Color Comic Section tor our leading newspapers. I asked Amelia what had become of our friend Elizabeth Newland and am startled when she tells me that she is the president of a Railroad Company and most of her time is spent issuing passes across Oak Street Bridge. We all wonder to whom! In the next city we find Albert Cowan, Elizabeth Bachman and Elinor An- drews who have been rewarded for their faithful work on the Annual with a seat in the “Easy Chair” on the staff of the following magazines: “Atlantic Monthly,” “True Storv” and “ hiz-Bang. ” I hey tell us that Ruby Marion and her private secretary. Lucille Musslewhite, have just been there. Ruby has written a book entitled “Revealed Love Letters. We see here also Elizabeth Harr writing for the “Ladies’ Home Journal,” and I might incidentally mention that W. B. Cash is also a member of the staff. A pleasant surprise awaits us in the next town where we find Louise Brown who is converting one M. D. to her way of thinking. In picking up a daily paper here we notice the picture of one of our classmates. It is Eleanor Smith, who has been proclaimed the best dressed woman in America. On going to the opera tonight we hear Mary Elizabeth Collins, who has a wonderful voice with a wide range from “Greenland’s Icy Mountain to India’s Coral Strand.” Before leaving this city, we pass a new military academy, which is the “Never-Get-Through Military Academy.” We learn that Johnnie Esser is coaching basket-ball in this school. When we enter the next city, we see a new and beautiful street, on which Martha Carlton, Willie Gray Jarrett, Katherine Keller, Lillian Owens and Louise 36 Love are living. I could hardly understand it until I remembered how interested these girls were in the opposite sex even in high school days. In this town we also meet Johnnie Lipscomb, who is a member ot Congress, and Addie Belle Hitt is trying to persuade him to establish a National Highway between Bristol and West Point. However, we cannot tarry here; let us go in to the next city and see what awaits us there. We see there an up-to-date grocery store. Scott Shumate and John Waterman have bought out the Clarence Saunders, Sole Owner ot My Name” chain of grocery stores. As we are leaving this city we see a large farm, which is owned by the O’Dells, Herman and Paul, who are going to get the S2.000 given by Congress for the production of seedless tomatoes. Herman tells us that his sister, Gladys, Ida Shipley and Gladys Seneker are beloved school ma’rms, who trudge from their farms to school. They are trying to train the children in the way they should go, but as usual the teachers are woefully disappointed. W e are carried in our dreams to another city where we hear of Jasper llson and Billy Phipps as flying cops. Their duty is to arrest aeroplanes which are going over two hundred miles an hour. They tell us that W. A. Whittaker also lives here. He is the laziest man in town and is travelling with a 2-ling circus. Walk- ing further down the Main Street of this city, we meet Joe Christian, who has never married because he was in love with all the girls and could only marry one, and Joe Delaney, who is called “Dr. Pill-Box Delaney.” The latter is very un- happy being a doctor because he was evidently cut out to be a great orator. As we come to the next city, we receive the shock of our life since we find it is dear old Bristol. 1 hat stately building which we see is no other than our much- beloved High School. Here we find Kathryn Millard and Vivian Hawk, who are coaching basket-ball and Della Vest and Joanna Miller, who have come back to Tennessee High to do research work. They have found the Latin derivation of “vociferate.” On passing the court house a terrible uproar comes from one of the committee rooms. H. S. Burem, Scott Booher, Cody Vance and Franklin Groseclose have a very important question to settle and if they settle it, I think their names ought to be in the Hall of Fame. I his question is “Bristol’s Water Question. David Dishner is chairman of this efficient body. Our next stop is King College, which is one of the largest in the South and now has co-eds. A young woman who is the dean is leaving one of the dormitories and who do you suppose this is? Why, none other than Thelma W illiams! Now, you have been with me through the Land of Dreams and have seen the future of my classmates. So I hope that each one of them will find that the “Way to Happiness” is — - A little more kindness, A little less creed, A little more giving. A little less greed, A little more smile, A little less frown, A little more kicking A man when he’s down, A little more “we” And a little less “I”, A little more laugh, A little less cry, A little more flowers On the pathway of life, And a flower on graves At the end of strife. — Ethelyn Elam , Class Prophet. 37 THE C A D M E A Mentor Class ong After four years of joys and sorrows, We have reached our goal at last. But as we live in future morrows. We’ll not forget your part in our past. Chorus Here’s to our Alma Mater, Of whom we must soon take our leave; Here’s to dear Tennessee High School, A school ever loved as you see. And we the Class of Twenty-six, as we say good-bye. Remind the future Seniors to keep the standards high. So, to the Class of Twenty-seven, Our shield and axes we do give. To use these axes and this shield As symbols of the life they’ll love.

John Lipscomb (Captain), ’26 Johnny John Lipscomb, captain of the ’25 football team, was not only a good player hut proved to be one of the best captains B. T. H. S. has ever had. We will always remember hint as “hard-hitting Johnny” and the main- stay of the team. J.LIPSCOMB (c qp t.) C. U.LEN (c o qci-i) J. 1. was always on the look-out lor the boys and trying to take care of them. He showed wonderful ability to manage a team. As a defensive and offensive player, “Tubby” was a genius. He was always ready to make a gain and was chosen to general the Team of ’26. JXM ' INTYRE EDW.WILSON Richard Helms, ’28. . Dick Guard. Height, 5 ft., 10 in. Weight, 158 lbs. 1 his was “Dick’s” first year on the Var- sity, nevertheless, he proved himself to be a splendid defensive and offensive player. Robert Edwards, ’28 Bob Tackle. Height, 6 ft., 1 in. Weight. 179 lbs. “Bob” was one man that teams dreaded to go up against. He was one who could always get the jump on his man. We hope that “Bob” will be back with us next year. Don King, ’27 Don Halt-back. Height, 5 ft., 7 in. Weight, 149 lbs. Don was a hard fighter and a dependable player. This was his first year but he showed up like a veteran. Charles Lowe, ’28 Charlie Guard. Height, 5 ft., 6 in. Weight, 145 lbs. During every game “Charlie” showed that he was a good defensive and offensive player. This was his first year on the Var- sity and he will be back with the Tennessee High squad next year. RHELtfS R.EDW WD5 D.KING C.LOW 51 William Davis. ’26 “Billy” is a man that can he depended upon when needed. He is good at receiving passes and an excellent defensive player. John Esser, ’26 “Johnny,” playing his last year in high school, showed that he was an excellent defensive and offensive man. He was always alert and on the job. WD 1VI5 Quarter-back. Height, 5 ft., 5 in. Weight 140 lbs. “ Petey” proved to be a wonderful quarter- back. His long gains were responsible for many of Tennessee’s victories. His un- dying fighting-spirit inspired the necessary determination and pep into the team in many ot the games played. Although this was Jim’s first year on the Varsity he proved himself worthy of his position. He was a good defensive and offensive player and gave us some real exhibitions of good punting. We lose “Jim” this year because lie is going to another school and at the same time we lose a good man. RWlLSON JMWRENCE 4 52 Herman Smith, ’30 This was “Funny’s” first year on the Varsity, but he showed up like a veteran. He was a good line-plunger and was also good to run the ends. Maurice Conn, ’28 Center. 185 lbs. Conn always had the tight and grit that it takes to make a football player His main hobby was to break through the opponents’ line and block punts. H. SMITH This was “Ernie’s” first year on the Var- sity. All who saw him play said, “He’s little but loud.” He will be back with us next year. Asa Linpamood, ’27 This was Asa’s first year on the Varsity, but he proved himself worthy of his position. He was a fast and excellent player a t end and is unusually good at receiving passes. He will be back next year. LLWflOOD 53 Tackle. 178 lbs. J.STONE F.SMITH KNAVE JT ILBEPT This was “Stonev’s” first year on the Varsity. He always had the fight and determination to win. He was one who could always break through the opponents ' line and down the man with the ball. Fred Smith, ’28 Fred Tackle. Height, S ft., 8 in. Weight, 158 lbs. Another new man shows up good. Fred, although little, played splendid ball at a big man’s position. Great things are expected of Fred in ’26. Homer Nave, ’28 IVhitey “Whitey” was a new man but he cer- tainly gave a real exhibition of football. Although small, he was hard to get by and was a hard fighter. “Whitey” will more than likely be hack with us next year. Guard. Height, 5 ft., 8 in. Weight, 148 lbs. Joe is another new man. Speaking about a man plowing open the opponent ' s line, this was Joe’s favorite pastime. He will be back with us next year.

Yes, my idea of an inconsiderate girl is one who gives a flower to a fellow with hay fever. No, Billy, battleships are not brought into port by tugs of war. Yes, Sam you will always find a lot of questionable characters around a Bureau of Information. No, Jimmy, Joan of Arc was not the wife of Noah and neither is Scotland Yard a playground. A gown is a dress at twice the price. No, Elizabeth, a parachute is not a double-barreled shotgun! Yes, even a fool can ask questions a wise man can’t answer. The most common disease today is “I” trouble. No, John, LaFollette did not fight in the Revolutionary War. Yes, many a man has married for love and then found out that his wife had no money. The best definition for FLIRTATION is: A spoon with nothing in it. No, Jack, forceps are not muscles in your forearms. Yes, it isn’t what a girl knows that bothers us, but how she learned it.
