We who have watched you, the Watertown High School Seniors of nineteen hundred and fifty, grow from insigni- ficant Freshmen to your Senior year in high school, believe that you have qualified for this title to a great extent. It has been a pleasure to work, plan, and advise with you during your four years in Senior High School. We have found you to be very cooperative, understanding, and sincere in your scholastic responsi- EL TLLeS . At present you are referred to as the Senior Class. Within a few short weeks you will be thought of as individuals with your separate battles to fight. Your ultimate attainments will be up to you as an individual. We sincerely trust that we have given you a sound and sensible foundation upon which you may build your future. We had hopes that we could send you out into a world of peace and quietness, but - you who have come through the horrors of war and international upheaval - the dreadful age of the Atomic Bomb - are approaching the era of a still more deadly weapon - the Hydrogen Bomb - we trust that you may be able to cope with this world. It is not yours to solve the problems of the universe, but to find your duty and to restrain yourself within its bounds. The real test of your knowledge is not what the World thinks you know, but what the world sees you do. Knowledge has, in our time, triumph- ed, and is triumphing, over pre- judice and over bigotry. The Civi- lized and Christian world is fast learning the great lesson, that -difference of nation does not imply necessary hostility, and that all contact need not be war. The whole world is becoming a common field for intellect to act in. Energy of mind, genius, power, wheresoever it exists, may speak out in any tongue, and the world will hear it.

On this first grade roll you will find the names of the following persons who have traveled along together for twelve years: Evelyn LaFevor, Anne Mullinax, Charles Harris, Juanita Cowan, Ruth Davis Hudson, J. C. Stewart, Billie Frances Osborne, Charles Ownby, Mary Helen Hemontolor, Sidney Bain, Jean Jewell, J. W. Patton, Joyce Reeves, Wallace Midgett, and I. Time marched on and the years passed hurriedly by, new students were gained and old ones were lost. Each new teacher by their ability guided this group of educational so- journers to success which was reached when they graduated from the grammar school. We now observe this same eager group entering high school as ‘“‘green freshmen” adjusting themselves to the new and strange atmosphere of school life. However, by the sophomore year they were well established and were dreaming dreams of the future years ahead. As ‘‘Jolly Juniors” these eductional so-journers experienced many happy and exciting experiences together. Outstanding features of the year’s work being—the election of sponsors, selecting the class ring, Junior-Senior Banquet, and the class play ‘Quit Your Kidding.” Now, we have overtaken ‘‘Time”’ as we see this group build foundations under their dreams as members of the 1950 Senior Class. Truly, this has been a happy and successful year— ‘The best year of our high school days.” It has been filled with many outstanding events such as: receiving class rings, electing class officers and sponsors, publishing the first school paper in the history of the school — “The Watertown Hi-Lights,” organizing a Press Club, electing the annual staff, publishing ‘“The Purple Tiger,” Junior-Senior Ban- quet, class play—sports and commencement exercises. We have reached our goal—‘‘Graduation’””—and to Miss Mary Burton and Mr. Earl F. Baker our sponsors; to our principal, Mr. T. W. Bruce and to the entire faculty our appreciation for your untiring guidance during our high school days and our best wishes for the future. To each senior, let us continue to build, and may the memories of W.H.S. linger in each life as Time Marches On. Elizabeth Talley Historian ee vk 10. i 1s NS 14, Prosperous—huh ? ? ???

With each step in our onward path new scenes seem to rise | These problems will only surmount if you pass them by with a sigh We see not a step before us as we tread through each year | And what seemed dark in the distance as we draw closer may seem clear. And now that lessons and tasks have so suddenly ended The misty future stretches forth, but the twig is so easily bended. The world is not perfect in structure and will So remember our motto: “Let us continue to build.

This year we have eleven scholastic honor students since there was a tie for the tenth place. Anne Elise Mullinax Evelyn La Fevor Margie Hudson Nancy Hill Carolyn Williams Martha Bond HONOR Margaret Mount Sidney Bain Clarence Joseph Burton Louise Robinson Bobbye Dorris Bell HIGH SCHOOL REGISTER The High School Register, which is equivalent to the college “Who's Who,” gives public recognition of more than local significance to those students who have distin- guished themselves as outstanding personalities. The school officials based the selection on the following criteria: scholarship, demon- strated leadership, service to school and community, personality, and probable future usefulness to society.

They have taught the principles and values of sportsmanship to each player of the gridiron and the hardwood. Coach Few came to us from T.P.I. where he played first team fullback in, 47 and 48. He also played football in Dickson High School, Tennessee and at Wooster, Ohio while serving in the navy. His debut as football coach’ has been a success, since with his guidance the Purple Tigers have experienced one of their best records in years. Coach Turney has been with us since 45.

FOOTBALL RESUME The Purple Tigers found a new coach waiting for them on the gridiron August 29, 1949 when school opened and football practice began. From the first Coach Oscar Few was respected and loved by every member of the squad as a true, loyal friend and leader. It was a long hard battle of daily practice before our first game with Portland which was our first home game. Portland scored in each quarter of the first half. We played a very good game considering that Portland was rated as a far better team than we. They won 13 to 0. September 23, found the Tigers traveling to Lafayette to meet Macon Countains. We only scored six points in the first half but came back with the will to win and scored fourteen points in the third quarter and thirteen in the fourth quarter. Scoring honors were shared by Johnson and Harris. The next game on the schedule took us to Woodbury to play a highly favored team. This was a hard fought game with neither team scoring in the first half nor the third quarter. Woodbury scored first in the fourth quarter. We came back to score with almost a eighty-yard drive, the touchdown being set up by a pass from Ownby to Wright. Harvey drove over and Ownby kicked the extra point thus ending the game 7 to 6 in favor of the Tigers. OA, ff CAs ( Née A ‘oo FOOTBALL RESUME The following week we went to Gordonsville to help dedicate their field. They were leading in the Cumberland Valley Conference at this time. We scored once in the first half and since our backfield was weak in the second half we took to the air with Ownby passing to Wright for all three scores We won 20 to 0. The Yellow Jackets and the Purple Tigers were tied in the Cumberland Valley Conference rating when we played them in Hartsville the following week. It was a hard fought game but it ended with a score of 27 to 14 in our favor. Our next contest was at home with the Mt. Juliet Bears who proved to be too strong for us. They won 19 to 7. White House coming to town the following week was our first victory at home. We got off to an early start scoring in the first few minutes of the game. We were able to score at will with Harvey and Huddleston leading the way with two touchdowns each. The second and third teams played however they didn’t score and neither were they scored on. We won this game 43 to 0 which was the highest score made by the Tigers in several years. Next we were host to the Carthage Owls. This was an upset for us since the Owls got off to an early start to score and kept striking. The game ended in favor of the Owls 33 to 12. Our last game of the season was at home with the Lebanon Blue Devils. We were again the underdogs. Both teams fought hard from the beginning. Harris did all the scoring for the Tigers. The game ended with Lebanon being victorious 26 to 12. saues FOOTBALL RESUME We all agree that this has been one of the most outstanding football seasons that the Purple Tigers have experienced for several years. Our gratitude and appreciation to Coach Few for his knowledge in football and for his teachings of loyalty and sportsmanship on all occasions. Thus ended a successful season of football. 4 a é YAH’ RAH’ TOUCHDOWN HEAD CHEERLEADER ... Carolyn Williams Sponsor Miss Mary Burton SMa ad oo ag ky a eR PEPSTERS HEAD CHEERLEADER ..........

Our first game of the regular schedule was with Lebanon at home. They were too strong for us and we were defeated with a score of 48 to 24. We next journeyed to Carthage. This was a hard fought game and despite Patterson’s twenty-two points we lost 43 to 38. However, our next game which was with Hartsville at home was quite different since we had gotten some much needed experience. All six played a good game and won 41 to iY We were then on the road again for the next two games. Both of which we lost. Portland winning 43 to 32, and Liberty 33 to 24. After the Christmas holidays we traveled to Gallatin to play the “Green Waves.” This was a hard fought game all the way through. We were leading at the half 19 to 16 and with each Tigerette coming back with the will to win, we did so in the last few min- utes of the game—24 to 23. Lea was the high scorer. One of our best played games was with White House at home. The guards shared honors with the forwards for they did an excellent job of guarding. We won 28 to 20. The following game with Gordonsville was not so easy however we edged out a win of 25 to 24. Caen BASKETBALL RESUME We were next hostess to Liberty. They took the lead in the early part of the first quarter and led throughout the game with a final score of 25 to 23. The following contest found us traveling to Coach Turney’s home town. This was our game from the beginning. The final score was 29 to 15 in our favor. Our next contest was at home with Mt. Juliet, our county rival. They proved to be too much for us as they won 34 to 28. Our return game with Lebanon proved fatal to us despite the fact that we were lead- ing at the half with a score of 10 to 8. The final score was 29 to 21 in favor of Lebanon. For the first time we traveled to White House January 27. Every player including the substitutes played an outstanding game even though we lost in the last few seconds by a score of 27 to 26. Patterson’s seventeen points were not enough to stop Portland on their return game here January 31, as they won by a four point lead, 36 to 32. - With both guards and forwards sharing honors we were again successful in the game with Gordonsville at home. We were in the lead most of the game and won 28 to-22; Gallatin came to town February 2. This was another outstanding victory as we were in the lead at the end of every quarter. Lea and Patterson shared scoring honors. We won 55) tO 29. : eee ts SR PERS BASKETBALL RESUME Next we traveled to Hartsville to lose in the final seconds of the game by a score of 45 to 43. Patterson scored twenty-four points which was the highest score for her during the season in any game. We were determined to win over Carthage when they came to town, despite the fact that our Captain was unable to play due to sickness. This we did. Forwards and guards came through with an outstanding piece of work, the final score being 32 to 28. Our return game with Mt. Juliet was the thriller of the season since both teams played a hard fought game staying within a few points of each other throughout the game. We came home victorious with a score of 37 to 35. Since “The Purple Tiger” goes to the publishers before the season is over a complete resume cannot be given. There are two g ames left in the season and the tournament. For an inexperienced team this has been a rather successful season. Much should be heard of Mr. Turney and his Tigerettes next year since all of the first team will return next season.

We won 35 to 25, Eaton being the high scorer with sixteen points. Carthage Owls were too strong for us in their return game. They won 61 to 19. In our contest with Mt. Juliet February 17, they won 61 to 25. However we would like to mention that the Tigers were in the lead twice early in the first quarter. There are still two games and the tournament games left in the season. “The Purple Tiger’’ goes to the publishers before these games are played making it impossible to give a complete resume of the season. Despite the fact that we have won only a few games and lost several by one and two points the Tigers are to be commended for their determination and will to play.
