LITERARY CHAPEL PROGRAMS The Chapel programs at Walnut High have been different this year than before. The library has been the assembling place each Monday and Friday mornings with the principal, F. W. Anderson taking charge of Devotionals each Monday and the classes taking a turn of Friday. We were honored by having Reverand Oscar Edmonds to speak to us Monday, February 14. On Monday February 21, 1949 we were highly honored by having Dr. Davies, serving as a chaplain in the Marshall Islands during the war and now the president of Tusculum College, to talk to us. Dr. Davis gave us some interesting facts on the life and customs of the natives in the Mar shall Islands and showed us some of their handicraft. Monday, March 21, we began a series of talks on good citizenship. Those speaking to us were Reverand Scott, Reverand B. E. Gutherie and F. W. Anderson. P. T. A.

Our club won more prizes than any other club in the county. In the parade, Christene I-Iaynie was queen. Bobby McClure, Sophomore, and Eugene Wild, Junior, were joint-king. The court was Ella Capps, Irene Thomas, Juanita Parton, Bernice Thomas, Ted Buckner, Bobby Chandler, Hoyle Duncan, and Wallace Hollifield.
