enior Class Histor Continued On the whole, our scholastic rating was high. We began to acknowledge the fact that it wasn't long before college, and we should begin to think more seriously along that line. Basketball season quickly rolled around, and we entered into the game with enthusiasm. We dominated A and B Leagues, and when the class tournaments were over, we found ourselves the victors. Some of our A League players were Peter Scales, Lewis Holmes, Warren Patterson, Ab Taylor, and Walter Graham. In December, both debating societies, in which we were so active, chose their mid-term debaters. These teams, with the exception of one Sophomore, were all juniors. They consisted of Cliff Bass, Lewis Holmes, Bobby Gilliam, Albert Frierson, and Linton Vandiver, representing the junior class, and Nat Long, a Sophomore. Turning again to sports in the Spring, baseball contained many Juniors, and when the All-Webb teams were published, for baseball, basketball, and football, we found there were Juniors spread throughout the teams. After Spring Vacation, we participated in the declamation group. Our interest increased, and when the graduation exer- cises rolled around, besides junior Night, some of us entered the play, and the Oratorical Contest had many juniors in it. Also, on Commencement day, Lewis Holmes, Ralph Braund, and Owen Hendley were elected to the Cum Laude Society. Our junior year passed swiftly, but we enjoyed it im- mensely, and looked forward to at last becoming Seniors in Webb School. We again returned in September with more enthusiasm than ever. It seemed impossible but mighty nice to be called Seniors. Our class, though we lost Bobby Crichlow, Jim Dil- lard, Wm. Bivings, cullpepper Exum, and Park Miller, and later Tunie Pelts and Douglas West, was still a good size class. New names were again placed on our roll: Richard Murphy, Shelby Coffey, jim Lindy, Campbell Francisco, Charles Mayo, and Ab Taylor. As Seniors we looked seriously toward our duties and saw the responsibilities, greater than ever. As soon as the new boys got familiar with the class, we elected odicers. Lewis Holmes was again elected President, with Albert Frierson, Vice- President, and Clark Becker and Owen Hendley acting as Secretary-Treasurer and Marshal. Our representatives on the Honor Committee were cliff Bass, Gunter Smith, Frank Smith, Secretary, and Walter Graham, President. With these as our leaders, we moved forward, hoping to live up to the highest standards as Seniors. Football season opened with a bang. The Senior team won both Junior-Senior games with Ab Taylor, Warren Patterson, Page Faulk, Roy Ellzey, Owen Hendley, Buddy Ferguson, Frank Smith, Gunter Smith, Richard Murphy, Smith Murphey, Shelby Coffey, and Walter Graham playing hard under the Page 64 direction of captain Albert Frierson. Zeal for football con- tinued until the Thanksgiving Tiger-Bulldog games. Such spirit was aroused during football practices that there was talk of Spring football. Besides football, the Fall term was touched oH with such things as being invited to hear the U.S. Navy Band, the invi- tation being extended by-David Lipscomb College in Nashville. This, and our Fall and Winter dances and our other visits to Nashville really added to the old grind. In November, Ralph Braund, Owen Hendley, and Lewis Holmes received the Cum Laude awards. Their appointment to this honorary society had been announced earlier, but they had not been awarded yet. It wasn't long before the basketball season opened. In A League, Lewis Holmes and Ab Taylor were elected two of the four captains. We made up the majority of A League and a good part of B League, as the turn-out for basketball was especially large. When All-Webb came out, we had Taylor and Holmes with others up for Honorable Mention. After the Christmas Holidays, our quiet little town was struck by a tornado, and soon after an even bigger storm, My Three Angels. This was a three-act comedy with an almost all-Senior cast, of Albert Frierson, Owen Hendley, Bard Rudder, Jimmy Lindy, Bobby Gilliam, and Walter Graham. As the new term got under way, we began to realize how little time we had left. The final debaters were elected. Plans were made for the first yearbook in Webb's history. Lewis Holmes and his co-editor, Clark Becker, besides completely re- organizing the Oracle, put much time and thought into this new idea, the yearbook. Baseball brought out in the open air again with A and B Leagues being arranged. Ellzey, Taylor, Frierson, Holmes, G. Smith, B. Ferguson, Coffey, R. Murphy, S. Murphey, Rudder, Gilliam, Hendley, and Lindy took a great deal of interest. As this is going to press, full plans have not been made for track, but we have a very promising outlook. Ellzey, who won the annual cake race this year, Hendley, Bass, Ferguson, Holmes, S. Murphey, Peter Claverie, and others are expected to return to the field and break the records which they set last year. Our sports history is a history within a history, but we also realize that it is only a small part of what we should ac- complish here at Webb. The Old Guard, the nine of us who have been here four years, along with the other members of the class, realize now, as our time is drawing to a close here at Webb what Webb really means. We see that to get something one must put something into it. We also see that we have doubtless not measured up to our standards completely, in this year, but we regard it nevertheless as highly successful.
