W e met every Monday morning in Mrs. G auding’s room. An outstanding program w as an extem poraneous debate betw een four members of the room. Our scholarship h as never been such a s to win the cup but neither h as it been the low est on the list. The home room scholar ship competition h as interested us g reatly and w e are proud of rem aining off the bottom. Near the last of the first sem ester w e combined with Miss Howard's home room and had a party in the cottage on the school campus. The friendly contacts m ade through our m eetings hav e aided in our other activities with one another throughout the school year. These unifying friendships compose perhaps the g reat est ad vantages to b e gained by the students through the home room plan. The possibilities for various activities a s a group are quite extensive, and we are glad for the opportunities thus presented.

The Otters met in the beautiful library of the new High School. Five cents monthly dues w ere paid. The president, who is elected sem i-annually, chose these committees: Scholarship, W elfare, A ttendance, Program, and Publicity. The Otters meet every Monday morning; the roll is called and minutes read by the secre tary. Old and new business is taken up and discussed according to Parliam entary Law, the president presiding. The meeting is then turned over to the program committee. The programs included talks, reports, songs and radio programs. The purpose of home rooms is to develop the individual. Students receive experience in Public Speaking and P arliam entary Law. Social contact is augmented, and a precise m eans of checking the scholarship and attendance of each individual is afforded. There has been keen rivalry betw een the home rooms concerning scholarship, the Otters do not have the highest rating, they are in the upper half.

Our home room frequently had parties. The parties w ere held either at the school or in the home of the sponsor or that of individual pupils. A few w eeks ago Miss Ott opened her home to us. During the drive of the Am erican Red Cross our group joined.

Miss Gamble's home room, the Gambolers, is one of the three freshmen home rooms. During the first term we selected Ida Sue Ellis as our candi date for Carnival Queen, and winning, she becam e the second freshman girl ever to receive this honor. Later in the term we joined the Red Cross. During the course of the year we have had some very interesting programs, including a visit by Superintendent Brewer. Although our scholastic standing has not been exceptional, we have been high among the other freshmen home room groups. W e have planned several social events during the year, and we have had some very interesting social programs at our regular meetings on Mon day mornings. W e have selected Ida Sue Ellis as our beauty candidate for the annual. The following members do not appear in the picture: Juanita Jaym es.

In our home room w e have thirty-two members, fifteen girls and seventeen boys. In this group there are two student council members, the home room representative and class representative. Our home room h as been on the bottom of the list in scholarship the first semester, but w e advanced our rating up among the lead ers before the y ea r w as over. In order to accom  plish this, w e have used some of our m eetings as study periods. In our room we have three members of the band and two members who hope to be taken into the Thespian club before the y ear closes. In the fall we had a sm all social gathering in the old gymnasium at which w e played gam es and afterw ards had refreshments. W e entered G ladys Scarbrough as representative of the B aby R ays in the beauty queen contest, and w e w ere behind her one hundred per cent. With the exception of the meetings which w ere used for study-hall periods, w e have had interesting program s arranged by different program committees. During our business m eetings w e h av e tried to follow the rules of parliam entary law as closely a s possible. W hile w e w ere very inexperienced along this line, we w ere given useful suggestions by Miss Ray. :y'|

During the school y ea r of 1938-39 the M aryville High School Band, under the direction of Mr. Burton H. Scates, h as continued to be one of the most successful and most popular organi zations of the school. The band has been very fortunate in again having a s its Parent-Teacher Association m anager, Mrs. A. B. Goddard. The student sponsor w as Miss Martha Badgett. Due to the playing and marching of the Band in the 1939 football season a great deal of color w as added to the gam es. Under the leadership of Drum-Major Tom Stephenson, the figure marching h as been quite a novelty to the student body and h as really added something to the school spirit. W hile still carrying on its marching activities, the band w as tw ice honored by being invited to lead a parad e through town. On Thursday night, Janu ary 19, a concert w as given at a Parent-Teacher program in the new auditorium. This y ear a committee of five members w as appointed by Mr. Ssettes to take care of all business. The members of that committee are a s follows: Hal Lloyd, chairm an, M ary Jane Costner, Bill Buford, Stan ley Huddleston and Bob Hunter. This committee introduced a system of aw arding letters to members of the band who a re qualified with active service and the approval of the committee and Director. The old English "M " h as been officially adopted. To represent them in the school's Beauty Contest the band elected M ary Jane Costner. Due to the fact that so few m embers are lost by graduation, the outlook of the band for the next y ear is very encouraging; therefore it should con tinue to be the fine m usical organization of which the school h as been so proud. The following members of the band do not appear in the picture: Bill Lane, Matthew Coleman, Bobby Hatfield, Leland Milligan, Virginia Cates.

This club is composed of the music students of Miss Tedford. W e have our meetings the first Tuesday of every month immediately after school in Miss Tedford's studio. Each month we studied different composers of music from the different nations. Each person took part in some program, furnish ing appropriate music for the subject we were then studying. Many of our members also took part in chapel and other proqrams throughout the year. This organization has had a large part in awakening the students to the beauty of music and creating an interest in it, "Music moves us, and we know not why; we feel the tears, but cannot trace their source. Is it the languaqe of some other state, born of its mem ory? For what can wake the soul's strong instinct of another world like m usic?"— L. E. London.

The Dramatics Club of M aryville High School w as organized in October, 1937. Many of ihe students showed their interest and appreciation for dram atics by becom ing members and making the club the largest in school. At the beginning of this school y ear, when this club w as organized, an even larger number of students joined showing the growing popularity of dram atics in our school. Under the cap ab le leadership of Miss A lberta Coventry, our sponsor, the club h as proven lo be a very successful organization. All of the students who h av e participated in its various activ ities have received much benefit from it. It has been the aim of our club to interest more people in dram atics; to introduce those interested in taking part in dram atics to the various p h ases of the art; and to give our members at least a g eneral idea of the best technique for carrying out the different phases. The attention of our members h as been drawn to the enjoyment of taking part in p lays by the use of nursery rhymes and short p lay s that hav e not been rehearsed. Various m embers are asked to enact the nursery rhymes or take part in the p lays after the meeting h as been called to order. The serious enjoyment of acting h as been shown by the p lays given in chapel by Thespian members using Dram atics Club talent. Miss Coventry h as been the chief m eans of interesting the members in the various phases of dram atics through her talks on the Thespian Club and the w ays of becoming a member. The details of these phases have been furnished through speeches made by various m embers from books and m aga zines found in our library and by talks presented by outside speakers. It is the sincere hope of a ll those who hav e worked with the Dramatics Club that it h as been useful as a source of entertainment, education, and p leasant contacts which all of its members will remember with pleasure.

The G lee Club is divided into two groups which meet on alternate W ednesdays. The aim of our club is to learn to be better singers and to enjoy singing while trying to improve it. Through the school y ear we have worked on m any songs. In these songs that we have worked on w e have done four-part singing. t Through the variety of our songs we have been introduced to the tunes and words of m any different types. W e hope to give a chapel program using some of these songs. The combined clubs worked on a light m usical called "T he G rasshopper" which w as pre sented in the spring. Our glee club is fortunate in having two good accom panists, Charlotte Hall and M argaret Cochrane. Miss M anges h a s established the custom of presenting an operetta each spring with the cooperation of the g le e club. Plans are being m ade to present this operetta in the late spring. On several occasions Miss M anges h as taken a selected group of g lee club m embers to Knoxville to join the All East Tennessee Chorus, trained for the East T ennessee T eachers' meeting. This group h as been so successful that this y ear w e have been invited to send a group to the State Teachers' m eetings at Nashville. This is a great honor for our school and for our g lee club. The Hi-C m embers ag ree that each h as received enjoyment a s well as benefit from the efforts oj Miss R ay and the members them selves to m ake the g lee club the success that it is.

After being organized for nearly two y ears, the History Club h as been very successful in achieving every goal it h as set out to obtain. Our goal this y ear w as to m ake enough money to p ay a part of the expenses of taking a trip to Nashville to see some of the outstanding p laces of historical interest, as, Hemitage and Parthenon and visit some of the old forts. W e also plan to go to W ashington, D. C. In the past five months w e hav e had two candy sa les in addition to selling cakes, pies, and cookies. The dues for the club are ten cents a month. The programs have been a variation of reports on historical p laces around us, such as old trails and forts and Montvale Springs w here one of Tennessee's writers,Sidney Lanier, wrote some of his most well-known poems. W e also discuss modern affairs of ournation as well a s those of Europe. A report w as given by a member of the club on "How M aryville Looked Y ears A go". In this report w ere descriptions of Sam Houston Inn, which at the time w as the best in this locality, two of our leading department stores, the dormitory of the old high school and a bit of the school's history. For one of our programs we read an article "T he Nazi Got M e" which appeared in a recent R eader's Digest, describing a concentration cam p and treatment of Jew s in Germany. Sometime in the future the club is planning to sponsor an antique show, open for the public, and ch arge a sm all admission.

The Museum Club is one of the newest clubs which have been added to M aryville High School. It ranks high in popularity with its members. The sponsor. Miss Hickman, has done very much in helping the members learn more about the various projects set before them. The Museum Club is a very suitable nam e for the club. The group a s a whole spent most of its time gathering and mounting various anim al and flowers specimens. This is very Interest ing work, and the boys seem to enjoy it very much. Some of their time, however, is taken up by the study of wild life. Live anim als such a s rats, snakes, birds and rabbits have been brought in for observation. The w ay the club members have learned to like the wild life 13 very encouraging. The school h as had much equipment added to it during the last y ear, and it h as been the good fortune of the Museum Club to b e ab le to use much of it. The balopticon m achine gave much entertainment to the club and also taught them m any things. W e feel that our club is m aking a real contribution to the school and trust that more and more students will be attracted to it in the fuure. Charles Henderson does not appear in the picture.

The New spaper Club has earned ior itself a nam e among our clubs. The members of this club work together in collecting and writing m aterial to fill a good sized paper. This paper is published under the nam e of RED AND BLACK, the school colors. Under the excellent leadership of Mrs. W ine, our sponsor, the club has raised money through candy sales, movies, ball gam es and p lays to publish a first rate newspaper. The paper covers all of the school activities. One section is devoted to sports, another to social events, and still another to jokes. Through such columns Looking Into the Future, Keyhole, Club News, W ho's Who, and other current topics, interest is created among the students. W e truly feel that this club h as kept pace with the school in its stride forward. Never before h as a club taken upon itself the responsibility of publishing a paper independent of school funds. This monthly paper is in m agazine form containing from eight to sixteen pages. Through editing a paper students of the club learn the fundam ental responsibilities and duties of a new spaper job. This club helps m any of our students to discover hidden talent along the new spaper line and kindles in others a desire to learn more about new spaper work. Big oaks from little acorns grow, and we, the acorns, prophesy a successful crop for the future oaks of the club. The staff is a s follows: Mrs. W. M.

The Sports Club w as originally called the Varsity Club. The member ship, however, w as then restricted to men and women who had earned their letters in athletics. M any who were not lettermen wanted to learn more about sports. This year the Sports Club w as formed, all boys interested in sports could join. The purpose of the Sports Club is to create a greater interest and knowl edge of all kinds of sports both local and foreign. The club w as divided into different committees. Each committee made studies on one sport and m ade reports to the club as a whole. These in cluded reports on the local standing of football and basketball inthe county as well a s in the district and state. Also the rules of the different sports were discussed. The main emphasis w as alw ays placed on sportsmanship and how it w as brought about. Though ours w as one of the largest clubs, it accomplished its purpose to a large degree due to the excellent sponsorship of Mr. McCall, who is very capable in such work.

W hen the Sports Club w as formed last fall it w as composed of both boys and girls. But due to their different interests in the field of sports, the club deemed it w ise to sep arate the boys and girls into sep arate clubs. The boys formed their club and called it the Sports Club, w hile the fairer sex formed a drill team. Every other W ednesday the drill team meets at the extra-curricular period and practices for the various formations and drills. It is the object of the drill team to perform at football gam es, pep m eetings and other outdoor sporting events. By doing this, more color will be added to the gam es and it will m ake football more popular with outsiders. his
The Drill Team is sponsored by Mr. Boretsky, who is very cap ab le in such work. Through patient work the team h as been ab le to ad vance very w ell in the different drills and

The National Honor Dramatic Thespian Club is one of which w e are very proud. To belong one must have had four minor roles or two m ajor roles in dram atic productions. Its object is to promote dram atics in the high school. The first aim of the club this y ea r w as to buy furniture for our new stage. To do this we sold candy and Christmas trees during the holidays, sold tickets for the Little Theater Play, "A b ie's Irish R ose," and collected money from the one-act p lay contest. Money w as also received
from our own play, "T he Black Derby".
The club h as put on several productions this year. The first w as "Aunt Jenny and the Q uarterback", directed b y Hal Lloyd and I. B. Rogers. Next they directed "T he Unprepared T est" for P. T. A. night. Other m embers who hav e directed p lay s are W ilm a Raulston and John Davis who put on "O ne Jump A head ", and Bill Buford and Elizabeth G etaz who put on "Spring P arty". "T h e B lack D erby", a mystery-comedy, w as presented on the seventh of March. O ne-act p lay s directed by Thespian members w ere presented in a contest the last of March. On April the fifteenth, a p lay w as taken to the University of Tennessee to be given in contest on high school day. Several social affairs hav e been enjoyed by the club this year. Among them w ere a supper and initiation at Proffitt's cabin in M iller's Cove, a buffet supper at Miss Coventry's home during the Christmas holidays, a banquet in Knoxville to which w e w ere invited b y the Knoxville Thespian troupe, and a spring initiation held at the home of Johnny W illiam s.

After three w eeks of hard practice the M aryville High Red R ebels journeyed to Clinton to open a very successful season. The R ebels em erged from their first battle at the larger end of a 19 to 0 score. For the next three w eeks the R ebels stayed at home, and in turn routed Carter, 44 to 7, Stair Tech., 19 to 0, and Townsend, 20 to 6. By defeating Stair Tech. and Townsend, the Rebels broke two outstanding records. They handed Stair their only defeat of the season and defeated Townsend for the first time since 1931. One w eek after defeating Townsend, the Rebels, rated a s the under-dogs, attained a moral victory by playing the Everett High Bulldogs to a 0-0 score on the M aryville College field. This gam e w as attended by the largest crowd ever to see a football gam e in this county. In the next two w eeks the R ebels suffered their two d efeats of the entire season. One of these defeats w as handed to the R ebels by Erwin, one of the strongest teams in the state. The Erwin Blue Devils w ere held to a 7 to G score until the end of the third quarter, but finally w ore down the lighter Rebel squad by frequent substitutions and defeated them by a score of 26 to 6. The following w eek Alcoa handed M aryville boys their second defeat of the season and one which ruined their ch ances for the Blount County Championship. The gam e w as fairly even until the last quarter when A lcoa pushed over their lone touch down. The conversion w as good. The final score w as 7 to 0. After this defeat on the home field the R ebels en gaged Ducktown High School and defeated them by a score of 59 to 0. This ended the gam es to be played on home grounds. Andrews, N. C., and Sw eetw ater High w ere the next two team s to fall, Andrews by a score of 13 to 7 and Sw eetw ater, 13 to 0.

The m ajority of the squad w as composed of freshmen and the prospect is fine for some great teams in the future. The Red R ebelettes offer no alibis for a poor season but do promise a real team when this y ear's group gains a little experience.

The M aryville High R ebels opened their scheduled season with W alland High School and played the majority of their schedule in the county. All boys' team s in the county w ere pretty evenly m atched and M aryville cam e out of the season with the very good record of twelve wins and seven losses. One of the most exciting gam es of the season w as betw een M aryville and Friendsville on the M aryville floor. Friendsville finally cam e out on top with a one point victory. One of the largest crowds of the season attended the Everett gam e in our gym. The floor w as somewhat overrun by spectators but by next y ea r w e hope to hav e them all seated comfortably in our new gymnasium. M aryville drew a bye in the 14th district tournament and played Farragut in the second round. After a rough and tumble battle M aryville w as defeated by a score of 25 to 24. The record of the season is a s follows:
