FORTY-NINERS
The Seniors of ’48 will soon be leaving and you, the Seniors of ’49, will take their places.
You will have many responsibilities. One of these will be to set good examples for the lower classmen by upholding the reputation and name of your school.
Your responsibilities do not just include good times, parties, the unusual privileges and advantages, but also keeping your class in good standing in the eyes of the members of the faculty, school board, and citizens of the community.
The definition of responsibility as Webster gives it is “reliability or truthworthiness.” When you become a Junior, you represent ten years of hard work. Responsibility becomes a big part of your everday living.
Cooperation is also another \jery important asset, not only to Senior classes but to every criher class. Seniors and Junior? should realize the value of cooperation in school because life outside of school cannot be successful without it. Webster’s definition of cooperation is “joint action or undertaking.” Yess responsibility and cooperation go together hand in hand.
“Juniors of '48,*’ when you become “Seniors of ’49.' a lot of cooperation and responsibility shall rest on your shoulders. We hope you will make the best of your last and best year of high school.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? DO BETTER!
Have you accomplished all that you set out to accomplish this year? It’s doubtful for the majority of us started with a great deal more enthusiasm in September than we feel or show’ now. The grades on reports showed a big drop this term. Why? Have your grades dropped because you’ve lost interest? If that is the reason, it is your own fault. With a little more home preparation and attention in classes, a noticeable improvement will be seen.
The major sports of the year are finished. Sports can no longer be used as an excuse for poor grades, School teaches us book knowledge invaluable in later life. School teaches cooperation, sportsmanship, and how to get along with different types of people. There is absolutely no reasonable excuse for not having lessons or presenting a pleasant attitude toward school activities. School is for you. The sooner yon are aware ot that the more you will gain and the more beneficial it will be. It is still not too late to reform. Perhaps you have already broken your New Year’s resolutions. Start now and form arood habits with the coming spring and summer which will carry you through to graduation. In later years, you can look back fend think of the many pleasant hours spent in school and feel that you did your part to make other persons’ hours equally as pleasant and profitable as yours.
ARE YOU AWARE THAT . . .
The progression or retarding of Mississippi’s educational standard is now in the balance. Not long ago money was appropriated for raising teachers’ salaries. Following vhe raise there was a marked difference in the improvment of our schools. New fields of learning were opened to the students and for the first time efficient and capable teachers felt that they were being justly rewarded for long hours in the schoolroom.
At the nresent time there is a bill before the Mississippi legislature which proposes to cut teachers’ salaries back to what it was prior to the raise. We all know how much the price of living has gone up. Teachers are no exception. They, too, have expanses. Whv should they teach in Mississippi for less money when a rhange to another state where salaries are adeqquate will better equip them to meet rising prices? Without competent leachers we cannot have good schools. Weak schools produce poor citizens. The students of today are the leaders of tomorrow. Do we want Mississippi to stay at the bottom of the list for f-verythinfir that spells progress and at the top of \.he list for illiteracy?

Sweet Sixteen
Don't ever let them tell you that It's great to be sixteen, ft's just an awful awkward aye , That's stuck in in-between.
It’s when you're really not a child, But still "Too young to know" And “Son, be in by eleven sharp!” (So what's the use to go?)
You want to fish: You're tired of School.
You wonder what things mean.
Don’t *wr let them tell you that It's great to be sixteen.

“Mama, I never seen a picture of an angel with a beard or a moustache—don’t men go to heaven?” “Yes, dear—but it’s always by a ; close shave.”

Here are a few facts about Louella Capdepon whom the Juniors choose as the most eutstanding Junior girl.
When this baby girl arrived at the home of the Capdepon* October 29, 1930 she made them quite proud. Of course, this was Lou, baby of the family. Soon she was six and began a career at Bay High. She was and has been quite a student. The grades slipped by and before she knew >1, she was in High School— that pace that seems so wonderful and awe inspiring when one i$ so ycung. To Louella it was wonderful. cspceially changing classes. Her every childish wish seemed to be fulfilled.
Now let me pause for some vital statistics. As you know, she has dark sparkling, brown eyes, light brown hair, dark complexion and to complete this picture, a ready smile revealing lovev white teeth. She is five feet two inches tall and weighs 110 pounds. A' nice combination for a nifty figure, don't you think?
As for hobbies, she cooks, sews and collects recipes. Once upon a time she wrote poetry. Her favorite subject is English. No wonder —she makc$ such good grades!
All Louella hopes to be is a good housewife. With an ambition like this she can't miss because she seems to have a part of it tied down already. We’ve all noticed that lovely diamond flashing on her left hand, and enn't fail to see the stars in her eyes when that special young man comes home from the University cf Atabama to spend a few days with our Lou. He is certainly lucky «s we have been in having such an atractive girl and excellent student as a member of the JUNIOR class.
the son of Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Brockman nee Catherine Garriga.
Helen Pianos. '44 was married on Easter Sunday.
Ott Brockman '47 following his old example as is shown by his high averaye at P. R. C.
Joe Capdepon, ’47, is still slugging his way as he did at Bay High. Not so long ago he fouglit in the Golden Gloves nt Mempnis.

If I asked you who is one of the most outstanding Juniors you would of course, immediately reply, “Teddy Morel." And that is exactly, who hag been chosen by a large majority Of Junior votes. If you were looking for a student with quiet personality and good sense, again, Teddy would come to mind /irst of all. Bor it is Teddy’s personality and sense combined with individual humor and good sports-ship that has made him a friend of each and every student at Bay High.
Teddy hails from here in Dixie, a true Mississippian. In fact his birth place is the fair town of Biloxi. But because Teddy moved from Biloxi at the tender age of two weeks, he claims only Bay St. Louis.
We have somethin^ for Ripley— a student here at Bay High who actually likes memory work. Yes, it is true our unusual Teddy likes memory work. Becase of this amazing characteristic, he has wisely chosen for an ambition that of railway mail clerk which entails memorizing a great deal of important data. More power to you, Teddy. With such an Accomplishment a$ this you will undoubtly go far.
In this school curriculum, there are few activities in which Teddy has not participated. He has been successful in almost every activity from debating to football. He sports a sweater, too, because he was manager.
Teddy wps asked, “What constitutes a good sport." He appropriately answered, "A fellow who can take a defeat without bawling, one who follows the rule*- of a game.” Sounds ns though Teddy were describing himself, for not only is he an excellent student # grand friend, but a good sport.
