The HORNET Vol. IX HAPEVILLE HIGH SCHOOL, HAPEVILLE, GA., SEPT. 30, 1947 No. 1 Betas Install ’48 Officers; Lunchroom Out To Induct Four New Members As HHS Goes On Double Shift Beta Club officers for the year ‘47-‘48—left to right, Fran Boddie, secretary; Raymond Brantley, vice-president; Kenneth Hammond, president; and Annelle Nip per; treasurer. The Betas, those students who belong to the school’s honor club as a result of their high scholastic work, are off to an early start this season and Miss Hannah Leitner in the national office will probably have to be treated for shock when the Hapeville Club sends in the following information before some time in December: “Officers for the year ’47 - ’48: Kenneth Hammond, president; Raymond Brantley, vice-president; Frances Boddie, secretary; and Annelle Nipper, treasurer. New members--Augusta Arnold, Bob Smith, Gaye Robertson, Hil da Singleton, and Rose Anderson (a transfer member).” At the business meeting that followed the, installation of offi cers, Monday, September 14, plans were set to inform the four eligi ble students of their membership privilege. It war agreed that the invitation to join the club this year must be something different. Therefore, each of the four was notified by Western Union—the real McCoy, not just mock tele gram. The four new members are to be installed at a candlelight ser vice in chapel Thursday, October 2. Students, parents, teachers and friends of the Betas will at tend the honorary ceremonies. Library Club Elects Robertson President Gaye Robertson, now in her second year of library work, has been elected president of the Library Club, an organization for student library assistants. The other officers, who were elected at the September 17 meeting, are Jacquelin Bailey, vice-president; and Doris Turner, secretary-treas urer. Other members of the group, for which Miss Velma O’Kelly is sponsor, are Nora Beville, Ronald Davis, Betty Ann Taylor, and Sandra Weaver. The members decided to have their meetings every first and third Tuesday at 1:00 p. m., at which time they will discuss and review the latest literary releases. The next meeting was set for Octo ber 7. Wood Carving, Too! Peagreen Painters Pursue Pastels Hello, artists! Want a chance to show off your talents, and per haps develop them somewhat? The opportunity is here, right here at school, with none other than Miss Blannie Stallworth conduct ing the course. According to her plans, the class will study the use of pastels, water colors, clay mod eling, textile and block printing, lettering and wood carving. Hammond, Summers Fill Top Positions On Hornet After a hectic week of searching the school and Hape ville for a possible news story or a two-inch ad, Miss Anne Beaumont’s journalism class finally settled down long enough Wednesday, September 17, to find out who got what place on the Hornet staff. The two top positions—that of editor-in-chief and business manager—went to Kenneth Hamimond and Mary Ann Summers. Kenneth served last year as news editor and Mary Ann worked on the final issue, which was published by the juniors. The other members of the edi torial staff are: News editors—Bobby Gillespie, Tommy Hall. Editorial editors—Dorothy Ann Newton, Carolyn Wood. Feature editors—Bobby Conger, Alfred Campbell. Sports editors-—Dallas Guess, Bobby Lee Smith. Reporters — Peggy Chambers, Jimmy Cook, Dorothy Hammond, Barbara Smith, Jo Ann Reeves, This September, 1947, was dif ferent from all the other school seasons. The major headache accompany ing the opening of school this year was the problem of putting 450 students into 300 desks. Of course, it could mean only one thing—running a double shift. The “kids” were soon catching on and dying of curiosity to find out who would “go home after dark,” the later session, you know. The sub-frosh took the rap and were accordingly ushered into a program from noon time til 4:30. Upperclassmen, feeling some what smug over their seniority, were more concerned over who’s in this class with me or who’s my lab partner in chemistry. Most of the seniors had real headaches when the only two electives came at the same time of their two re quired subjects! The result was something like this: in one history section there were 17 and in the other 57; in one geometry class sat the same 17, while the 57 went to the later section; and so it was in English; and shorthand had to be re-sche duled in order to keep commer- cia’s from converting to academics. The biggest difference this year is the non-functioning of the lunchroom. Think of it! No more carrots and soup for nine whole months! Hapeville students are ready, however, to make whatever adjustments are necessary for the fastest-growing “bestest” school in the county. Eloise Williams, Carolyn Foster, Warren Owen, Richard Pierce, Lois Moon. Other positions on the business staff are: Advertising manager — David Stipe. Advertising workers — Buddy Kimberly, Jo Ann Carter, Richard Pierce, Warren Owen, Jean Rooke, Billie Bentley. Circulation managers — Bill Lewis, Julian Payne. This year’s staff has one pri mary objective, that of publishing a school paper the student body will want to read. The journal ists also hope to equal their press contest record made last year, for the Hornet won two national first p’ace awards and was judged one of the six best papers for Class B schools in the state of Georgia. 2 P A 1 Coach Roi V. Brewer, of Hapeville High, and Paul D. West, Fulton County School Superintendent, look thoughtfully on as, left to right, John G. Davis, prin cipal of Hapeville High, Coach Bill Campbell and construction workers study plans for the annex. Dream Of Annex Coming True As Grading B gins Taylor, Burch Join Hapeville Faculty With the drastic teacher short age in Georgia, Hapeville High students are indeed fortunate this year in having returned to them all of the faculty of last year, plus two additions. From North Fulton comes Mrs. Carolyn Taylor, an enthusiastic supporter of the school’s athletic activities. At North Fulton she taught natural science. Mrs. Tay lor has attended both the Univer sity of Georgia and Emory Uni versity. Diminutive Mrs. J. W. Burch (no relation to R. R.) is also a graduate of the University of Georgia and hails from Dalton, her home town, where she taught Home Ec last year. When asked how she liked HHS, Mrs. Burch replied, “I find the people here very cooperative and friendly.” Colleges Claim Fifty Per Cent Of ‘47 Grads Schools of higher learning have again claimed a 50 per cent mar gin of the ’47 graduates. Their interests range from prep schools, business schools, nurses, training school, to colleges and universi ties. Among those entering the prep schools are Charles Bush, Jeff Knox, Charles Denmark, Douglas Harmon, Henry Mote, Jack Simp- son, and Herbert Timmerman, who chose the military plan of GMA; to Darlington in Rome goes Richard Paula; to the nurses’ training school at Crawford Long Hospital go Joyce Adams and Jane Berryman. The more collegiate minded in clude John Attaway at Florida Southern; Bob Gilman at Georgia Tech; Mark Lovern and Jerry Michaels at the Junior College in (Continued on Page 3, Col. 4) Building To Be Completed By September of ‘48 A new high school annex large enough to accommodate all the students in this area is what Hape ville has been wanting and need ing for years—and that’s exactly what it’s getting. Monday, Sep tember 22, will go down in H. H. S. history as the day on which con struction on the new ahnex was started. There will be 18 classrooms in the $400,000 annex, which is be ing built on the west side of the present building; There will also be an auditorium with a setting capacity of 900 joining the two buildings. Under the auditorium will be a cafeteria built to accom modate 500 people. Also included in the new building, which will be ready by September of next year, will be a general science lab, a spe cial club room, dressing rooms and showers for athletes, and an arm ory and rifle range. Arnold’s Essay Best In State Hey, seniors, remember that UDC essay that had to be written on Benjamin Harvey Hill? Well, Augusta Arnold, now of D-2, was awarded a medal by the Hapeville High P. T. A. for the best essay from H. H. S. It wasn’t long before it was an nounced that “Gussie’s” essay had been adjudged the best in the county. The congratulations start ed all over again. Then, Monday, September 22, “Gussie” received the news that her essay on Benjamin Harvey Hill had been declared the best written in the state of Georgia. She's still wonderink how it all happened; for, as she put it, “I didn’t even try.”
