We have tried to make this a book which will bring back many happy memories in the future, and have endeavored to make it wholly representative, show- ing, in its few pages, the life about the High School. So we submit to you this v lume as our best effort. If it has merit, that merit is yours; if it has faults, those faults are ours. We have no apolo- gies to make, because we have done our best, and that best our contribu- tion in loyalty to dear old W. H. S.

First and “Best” comes our Faculty adviser, Miss Mabel Best. No one could be nicer Than this charming young lady whose time has been given To the Senior Class of Twenty-Seven. Our Editor in Chief, our “Heap Big Boss,” Who did so much to put the Annual across, Is Mary Jane Ellison, whose auburn curls Would single her out in a crowd of girls. As Assistant Editor in Chief, you know, Lorena Arnold wasn’t so slow. Blonde and tall, pretty, but steady, When help was needed, she was ready. Our business affairs were managed quite well By “Doctor” Carl Crain. (And they do tell That Carl is in love! Hard to believe? Not unless actions terribly deceive!) Lelia Collier assisted him fine, And makes us think business is right in her line. As Literary Editor, Treva Ogan’s a poet; Her only trouble—the world doesn’t know it! Our Advertising Manager, James Hannah, you know. Raked in the ads. wherever he’d go. Ben Cooper, assisted by Jethro Harrell, Managed our school athletics quite well. As Art Editor, meet Doris Greenfield; And, O what a wicked pen he does wield! Of course, when he wanted assistance to get. He could call on Lloyd Mitchell and Roland Burnette. Stupie Saripkin, Joke Editor de luxe. Is a quiet little lad who loves his books. Miss Beverly Cogbill, a Senior for sure. Was chosen by her class as its Editor. The Junior Editor is Miss Kitty Cleaver; If she says she’s no good, don’t you believe her. The Sophomores selected Lou Ola Hall, W ho has done her share in rolling the ball. The dear little Freshmen have an Editor, too! Harry Saripkin has been the one to do The work for the High School babies, you know. But don’t cry, little Freshmen; “Green things grow!” This ends the list; I’ve named them all. Perhaps you think what they’ve done is small; But I’d like to tell you before I rest That, one and all, they’ve done their best. ;, PA!Nfyf%. L w ocjy UPER A TENDENT IP am me C rr Schools.

Twenty I Tic e uti - ne Class Will By Margaret Lancaster 05 S5S E, the Senior Class of nineteen hundred and twenty-seven, realizing that we will soon depart from this world of high schools, do hereby make known, publish, and declare this our last will and testament, bequeathing our best-beloved possessions of this year to the classes of Wynne High School.

Twenty-two Senior Class Historyof 1927 By Hazel McKnight X ssa HAVE been chosen to give the history of the most illustrious class, the Seniors of 1927. Our class history began in the year 1924, when twenty-one of our present class and thirteen others began our High School career. The following are charter members of our class: Herman Elkins, Catherine Scruggs, Virginia Quessenberry, Jack Richardson, Mary Jane Ellison, Russell Bailey, Carl Crain, Bessie Robinson, Helen Foster, Mary McCorkle, Robert Fisher, Treva Jane Ogan, Bev- erly Cogbill, Block Tyre, James Hannah, Margaret Lancaster, Dorris Hammett, Vir- ginia Graham, Dorothy Wilkins, Roy Wilks, Hazel McKnight. Among these charter members, high honors have been attained, not only in the liter- ary world, but also in the musical world. Catherine Scruggs, who will some day be a famous musician, won first place in violin contests in the years 1923 and 1926. This Class of 1927 contains a poet, a famous beauty, musicians, a math, shark, singers, foot- ball stars, and, greatest of all, a true lover. We must not forget that the members added from year to year did their part in mak- ing this class the class it is. Dovie Hallsted came to us from Coffeyville, Kan., in our Freshman year. She has proved to be a valuable addition to our class, as she is one of our honor students and is always ready and willing to do her part in helping our class attain higher standards. It was that year that Dovie brought fame to us by proving her ability to entertain. She won first place in the piano contest. Marcella Hamilton was a valuable addition to our class in our Sophomore year. Nothing more of note happened during the year 1925. However, our class, like all other classes in the Sophomore year, suffered from the tyranny of teachers, who seemed to have no pity on us. Marie Williams, plodding along in Poplar Bluff High School, heard of our wonderful class in Wynne and determined to join us. She came to us in our Junior year, and has become a very welcome member, for she serves to keep us in a good humor. Whatever our troubles, Marie is ready to ward off all seriousness with her ready wit. Jethro Harrell also came to us during this year. He, of course, had heard all about us, and at his first opportunity he came to join our class. He has proved to be the most dependable member of our class. Another who came to us in our Junior year was Ben Cooper, who brought added fame to our class by starring in the Thanksgiving football game. Ben found the class very at- tractive for several reasons. One reason seems to be a very magnetic one, and he has determined to finish so that he may be ready for whatever might come the following year. Franklyn Kelley came to us in our Senior year. From the far-away North he came southward and stopped at Memphis. Not finding Memphis as he would like it to be, he came to Wynne, and here he found his ideal class. Pauline Howell also joined us in our Senior year. Due to illness, she was unable to finish with her class. We are very glad to welcome her as one of us. Her thoughtful- ness and pleasantness have caused us to appreciate her more than ever. We were deeply grieved at the beginning of our Senior year by the death of a mem- ber of our class—Marcella. After a brief illness, she left us behind to mourn her de- parture. In all our activities we miss Marcella, for she was always ready to do her share in carrying on the work of the class. Four years ago our ideal was to become a Senior. We have now reached that goal. We will go forth in our chosen walk of life, but we will ever look back with pride and appreciation on the school where we learned the principles of true manhood and woman- hood. Hinh School days, we bid you farewell. We may never attain, as school pals, meet: But may we each in our life’s work excel. And may none know the atinsr of defeat.

X ft? f I f r CA The 1926 Season fK HE 1926 season witnessed the most successful football team Wynne High School has ever had. The summary tells us that the Yellow Jackets won eight games and tied one. A total of 120 points were scored, while opposing teams were able to score only 13. The season opened with five letter men and a limited amount of new material. How- ever, the boys were determined to have a winning team, and went to work willingly. At times it appeared the boys were “taking things easy;” but when the occasion de- manded it, they were always able to come through. The team had a powerful defense, and few teams got close to the goal. Only two touchdowns were scored against them all season, and both came as a result of breaks. The offense was able to score on every team met, and the coordination between the line and backfield was beautiful to watch. The team was coached by O. T. Conner, who was assisted by T. F. Wallace and T. J. Walters. All three worked hard and were able to put out a real football team. The team was built around the five veterans—Captain Greenfield, Gann, Richardson, Tyer, and Cooper. Greenfield directed the team and at all times proved himself to be a real field general. He was a triple-threat man, for at right half he would pass, punt, or run with the ball. Gann and Tyer at full and left half were usually good for a gain. Both were fast, shifty, and hit the line hard. In Richardson and Cooper the team had two of the best tackles in the State. On opening up holes for the backs or in breaking up plays of their opponents, both were unusually good. Cooper could also run with the ball, and made several good gains when called to the backfield. Ernest Proc- tor, playing his first year, took care of a guard or tackle’s place and did fine work. Loyd Mitchell, Fred Owen, and Haywood Johnson were the other guards, and made it hard for gains to be made against the line. Gordon Hinton and James Hannah were the ends, and few gains were made around either of them. James always made life miserable for the opposing quarterbacks by tackling them in their tracks on punts. Paul Bass played his first year at center, and played it like a veteran. Seldom did he make a bad pass, and he was one of the surest tacklers on the team. “Stupie” Saripkin and Coburn Howell were the real midgets, but so determined were they that they were among the most valuable. Coburn played safety, and his defense was all that could be asked for. He didn’t miss a tackle all the year. “Stupie” was always good on an end run, and his sidestepping and dodging was the feature of most of the games. Gil- bert Hamilton played end until forced out of the games on account of an injured knee. Prentiss Robinson was another one not making a letter who helped make the team. Several of the smaller boys came out most of the season and will make the team in a few years. Fourteen boys were awarded sweaters at the close of the season, and ten of these expect to return next year. With this as a nucleus, the team should be as strong next year and make another good record.

Fifty-one rr «i� kujix r Fifty-two Our Ideals for Attainment is good to look down the vista of years that have passed and find that you have builded as you should, and builded well and strong as you came to know how. We have here set down these principles, which we will do our utmost to ob- serve, to the end that our school and her future classes shall be benefited thereby, and that we ourselves shall leave her halls fortified more strongly in body, mind, and character to live and work in accordance with those ideals for which our school stands. We Will Try 1. To speak the truth. 2. Never to take unfair advantage of our competitors in games or school work. 3. To improve our scholarship. 4. To be clean in thought, speech, and deed. 5. To be charitable in act and thought. 6. To aid the weak. 7. To be courteous. 8. To be worthy of trust. 9. To put honor before worldly gain. 10. To do all in our power to make our school a better place for our having been stu- dents there, with the knowledge that by so doing we can best serve our city, our State, and our country. Keep in your heart a shrine to the ideal, And upon this altar let the fire never die.
