SONS OF PLANT
Sons of Plant and glory,
Fear no battle gory,
Nor retreat from enemy;
To Gold and Black victorious
And our honor glorious
We will pledge our loyalty;
Never will we bow to Victor’s heel,
Never will the Panther lowly kneel;
Courage never dying,
Colors proudly flying,
We’ll sweep on to victory!

January Class History
Our history as a unit of Plant High
School ended on Tuesday, January 10,
1939, but as we go forth into the busi-
ness world, academic world, and pro-
fessional world to be as successful there
as the individuals of our class have been
at Plant, we shall always reserve these
pleasant memories of our high school
classmates.
We, the class of January 1939, first
entered Plant’s portals as
bewildered and terrified
"rats” in the spring of
1936. However, it was
not long before we began
to realize that Plant was
not a scary place; we be-
gan to feel that we were
an integral part of the
student body and that we
must share in all of its
activities.
As sophomores we elected Billy Poage
as president, Dorothy Sigman as vice-
president, and Jackson Miller as secre-
tary. We were represented in Panther-
ilia IX by Lady Dorothy Sigman and
Lord Billy Poage as sixth maid and
courtier, respectively.
When we entered our Junior year, we
again elected Billy Poage to serve capa-
bly as president, Jimmy Brooker was
elected vice-president and Betty Ware,
secretary. The royal court of Panther-
ilia X was graced by the presence of
Lady Dot Sellers as fourth maid and
Lord Bobby Stephens as fourth courtier.
When we attained the dignity of
grand and mighty seniors, we chose
Autrey Millsap as president. To support
him in office we also elected Bill Adams
Armin Smith, President, Jane
Roth, Secretary; Bill Ander-
son, Vice-President.
as vice-president and Dot Sellers as sec-
retary. We were again represented soc-
ially in Pantherilia XI by Lady Dot
Sellers and Lord Bobby Stephens; this
time as second maid and courtier, re-
spectively.
As the highest class in Plant High
School, we, in our Senior A year, were
accorded the privilege of nominating
the president and vice-president of the
student body from our
midst. The entire school
chose Rex King as presi-
dent and Dot Sellers as
vice-president of the Stu-
dent Council.
We have provided the
athletic department of
Plant with many good
athletes during our so-
journ here. Jimmy Bax-
endale, Bobby Stephens, Jack Hilburn,
Charles McBride, J. B. Timmerman,
Armin Smith, Robert Tucker and Wil-
lis Carpenter were all outstanding in the
sports held in the school.
The fifteen percent of our class who
were members of the National Honor
Society were Dot Sellers, Mary Anna
Hampton, Jack Hilburn, Wilma An-
drews, Charles Matthews, Cecilia Perry,
Dot Sigman, and Bette Foster.
Such are the records that the January
graduating class of 1939 have made at
Plant High School. We are justly proud
of them and we are sure that Plant will
be proud of us and of the records that
we intend to make through ourselves
for our school in the world we now face,
thus proving the ideals implanted in us
while students at Plant High School.

Senior A Class History
Three years ago a group of humble
"rats” were admitted to Plant High,
but it did not take long for us to make
our presence felt here.
During our sophomore year we elect-
ed as class officers, George Vass, Presi-
dent; Betsy McMichael, Vice-presi-
dent, and Betty King, Secretary. We
were represented in the Court of Pan-
therilia X by Anne Wilson and Jim Ted
Baugh. Betsy McMichael
was elected as cheerleader
and has served ably since
then.
As juniors, we chose as
our officers Waring Star-
buck, President; George
Henriquez, Vice - presi-
dent; and Mildred An-
derson, Secretary. That
year Anne Wilson and La-
mar Sparkman were hon-
ored as III maid and
courtier of Pantherilla
XI.
During their junior A
year the following were
taken into the National Honor Society:
Jack Burnett, Katheryn Perdicaris,
Mary Kendrick, Morris Hale, Kay
Montgomery, Mary Star, Claudie John-
son, Betty Jean McCord, Mary Evelyn
McClung, Mary Laura Lindsay, Ernest
Griffin, Jane Dail Hicks, Autrey Mill-
sap, and Ed Culp. During their Senior
B year the following were taken into
this Society: Jeanne Rouby, Dorothy
Thonnesen, Ralph Murphy, George
Vass, Albert Aronvitz, Ed Rosenblatt,
Doris Andrews, Gloria Johnston, George
Jack, and Clarence Anderson. As Sen-
ior A’s the following were admitted:
George Jack, President; Gloria
Johnston, Secretary, Kay Mont-
gomery, Vice-President.
Mildred Anderson, Barbara Brown,
Thelma Ivy, Marianne Mitchell, Mar-
jorie Russ, Louise Bailey, Anne Wilson,
and Caroline McDowell.
Our class has participated in numer-
ous social activities. Jack Burnette,
Morris Hale, Doris Boyle, Mildred Lane,
and Betsy McMichael are our Thespians.
A large number of our class are in the
chorus, band and R.O.T.C. George
Jack is now Lieutenant
Colonel.
This year marks the
third year of the forma-
tion of the Lettermen’s
club. All those receiving
letters in the three major
sports, football, basket-
ball, and track are eligible.
Members of our class that
are now in this club are:
George Vass, Jim Ted
Baugh, George Henri-
quez, Jack Jones, Dana
Jeter, Bill Adams, Lamar
Sparkman, H. L. Cul-
breath, Jack Lunden,
George Jack, Morris Hale, Billy Poage,
Clark Dowdell, Henry Holmes, John
Flanders, Waring Starbuck, Henry
Gardner, and Mario Cabrera.
Our class officers selected for this
year are George Jack, President; Kay
Montgomery, Vice-President; and
Gloria Johnston, Secretary.
We realize that these last three years
have been the happiest of our lives, and
although we are looking forward to
graduation, it is with a great deal of
sadness that we bid farewell to Plant.
No matter where we go or what we do,
we will be boosters always.

nior B Class History
Our class, despite its small number of
members has been well represented in
all school activities: social, scholastic,
and in sports.
Shortly after entering Plant in Feb-
ruary of 1937 as Sophomores we elected
Ethlyn Coggin, president; Nell Brown-
ell, vice-president; and Virginia Ne-
smith, secretary.
Katherine Hudson and
Bob Johnston were chosen
as the sixth maid and
courtier of Pantherilla.
Bob Johnston was elect-
ed president of the class
during our second year
and was ably assisted by
Charles Haper as vice-
president, and Art Chris-
ty, secretary.

erilla nobility as Juniors

was Katherine Hudson and Art Christy.
For our Senior B officers we elected
Charlie Davis as president; Art Chris-
ty, vice-president; and Mary French
Dekle, secretary.
We have nine students, ten per cent
of our class, as members of the Na-
tional Honor Society. They are Emily
Fuller, Jane Cavenaugh,
Jean Pryor, Lillian Jough-
in, Mary French Dekle,
Ethlyn Coggin, Lula
Joughin, Rosemary
Groves, and Comolia Gon-
zalez. An additional five
per cent will be admitted
to membership when we
become Senior A’s.
Our class is looking for-
ward to its Senior A year
and the privileges which
accompany this honor.

Junior A Class History
In September, 1937, we, the present
Junior A class, a group of frightened
"Rats,” entered Plant’s portals uncer-
tain as to what our future would be.
While Sophomores, we elected Doyle
Carlton, president; Freddy Duffy, vice-
president; and Mildred Woodberry,
secretary.
That year Lady Katherine Nelson
and Sir Doyle Carlton graced the royal
court of Pantherilia XL
Doyle Carlton was re-
elected president of our
class this year while the
vice-president and secre-
tary arc respectively, Bill
McElmurray and Kath-
erine Nelson.
This year Doyle Carl-
ton and Katherine Nelson
were again honored as 3rd
courtier and maid of the
court of Pantherilia XII.
Both this year and last
many have been outstand-

ing in athletics. Billy Stone, Ruth Wis-
dom and Marjorie Lambert have played
a big part in boosting Plant’s spirit as
cheerleaders at all major athletic con-
tests and pep meetings.
We have ten girls as members of the
National Honor Society. They are as
follows: Charlotte Harriman, Lily Star,
Allie Maynard, Marilyn Levy, Mar-
garet Olsen, Marjorie Hansen, Norma
McRae, Lila Ruth Shealley, Beth
Hotchkiss, and Ruth Wis-
dom.
As we are now ap-
proaching our senior year
in Plant High School, we
look forward with the
greatest of pleasure to the
privileges that we shall en-
joy as seniors. In view of
our already outstanding
record we feel confident
that we will do bigger and
better things in our last
year in Plant.

Junior B Class History
As "rats” we, the pres-
ent Junior B Class, wan-
dered through the seem-
ingly vast portals of Plant,
rather frightened at this
outstanding domain. But,
we have survived that first
year and a half with fly-
ing colors. Having repre-
sentatives in all branches
of student activities, we
now feel as if we are an
important part of this
school and we hope to
make ourselves worthy to
be called members of this outstanding
scholastic organization, Plant High
School.
During our stay at Plant, we have
an enviable record for athletic repre-
sentation. Many members of our class
participated in the major athletics and

most of them are very

As sophomores we
elected Hall Winn, presi-
dent; David Foster, vice-
president; and Elizabeth
Erwin, secretary. This
year we elected Dick
Steed, president; and re-
elected our sophomore
vice-president, David Fos-
ter, and our secretary,
Elizabeth Erwin.
To Pantherilla we sent,
as sophomores, in all the
grace and pomp due the occasion, Vir-
ginia of the House of Long, and Charles
of the House of Parkhill. As Juniors,
with even more triumph and gala cele-
bration, we hailed Virginia of the
House of Langford and David of the
House of Foster.

Margaret La Motte and
Clifford Bailey served
very capably throughout
the year as cheerleaders.
Donnie Hansen, Billy

the class in athletics. A
great number of the boys
and girls took part in the
R.O.T.C. and Pep Squad,
while the Plant Band drew
twelve of its members
from this class.
According to the results
shown in their first year’s record, the

our sophomore year.
Already we are well represented in
the athletic phase of school
activities. Although we
entered too late to take
part in the football sea-

preparing for that next

be a great asset to the

Strong is the realization
that responsibility of up-
holding Plant tradition
and maintaining its high
rating in every activity, is
rapidly becoming ours.
Through our period of ad-
justment here, we have
put down roots through
which our class will de-
velop, confident in the
knowledge that "mighty
oaks from little acorns
grow.”

Student Council
The Student Council is the largest branch of our student government.
This is the legislative group and is composed of a representative from
each home room. The complaints of the students are brought before this
chamber, discussed, and a bill proposed as a remedy. If the bill passes the
council, it goes to the President’s Cabinet. Through activities of the coun-
cil our students are learning valuable lessons in democratic principles and
good citizenship.
Betsy McMichael, vice-president of the student body, presides over the
Student Council. Faculty advisors are: Mr. R. E. Townsend, Miss Annie
Bell Stewart, and Mrs. Beryl Kitchen.

Honor Society
One of the highest honors bestowed upon an upperclassman is initia-
tion into the National Honor Society. Recognizing four cardinal prin-
cipals: Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service, new members are
initiated with an impressive ceremony twice a year.
Students are eligible for this honor when they are Junior A’s, when five
percent of this class are made members of this society. Five additional
percent are taken in both the Senior B and Senior A years, making fifteen
percent of the graduating class members.
Officers for this year were: Autrey Millsap, president; Morris Hale, vice-
president; and Kathryn Pedicaris, secretary; for the first semester, and
Morris Hale, president; Bobby Johnston, vice-president; and Jane Dale
Hicks, secretary; for the second semester.

Presidents Cabinet
Student participation in government operates in Plant High School be-
cause we believe in the American way and in a democratic form of govern-
ment.
The Student Council is the legislative branch of our form of govern-
ment, while the President’s Cabinet forms the executive branch. The
members of this Cabinet act as advisers to the President of the Student
Council. They are Seniors, and their appointment by the President is de-
pendent upon confirmation by the Principal of the high school.
All legislative bills must originate in the Cabinet but before they become
effective they must be voted upon and passed by the Student Council.
The position held by a member of the President’s Cabinet is one of re-
sponsibility, honor, and trust. The importance of the Cabinet can not be
over-emphasized in the life of the school and of its well-being.

Senior Class Play
Even better than usual is this year’s class play, "Nothing But the Truth,
under the capable direction of Miss Dorothy Burnett.
"Nothing But the Truth,” a comedy in three acts by James Mont-
gomery, is the story of a young bond salesman, played by George Vass, who
makes a bet that he will tell the absolute truth for twenty-four hours.
After much shocking frankness and near tragedies, he wins his bet. Ro-
mance is introduced by the broker’s daughter, played by Betsy McMichael.
The Senior Class play is an annual event staged by the outgoing class,
with proceeds used to purchase a fitting memorial for presentation to
the school.

Girl Reserves
The Girl Reserve Club of Plant High School, with Miss Jean Anderson
as faculty advisor, and working under the supervision of Miss Edith
Loughren of the Y.W.C.A., is one of the most active groups in the school.
They carry on Christian work and uphold the principles of loyalty, con-
sideration, and truthfulness. At Christmas and Thanksgiving one can find
this organization supplying needy families with food and clothing.

eastern Convention of Girl Reserves in Atlanta, and this year plans are be-
ing made to send Marjorie Lambert to this convention.

Girls Chorus
The Girls’ Chorus of Plant High School offers vocal training and recrea-
tion to girls who wish to partake of these activities and who show an apti-
tude for this type of training.
This group, under the direction of Mr. Green, sang for assembly pro-
grams and other school activities. Representatives were sent to a vocal
clinic held at Stetson university last Fall. High school students from all
over the state participated in this event.
The Chorus also entered the State Music Festival in Tampa on April 21.
They received a second division rating because of their small number.

The fifty-six piece concert band presented twelve programs during the
year. The marching band took part in all football games and in approxi-
mately ten parades.
At the State Band Concert in West Palm Beach, Nookie Mueller and
George Boyd, the drum majors, won first and second places, respectively,
in their division. The Band and its members individually entered fourteen
competitive events and emerged with nine first places and five second

FOOTBALL
This year the Panthers turned
in one of the best seasons on the
gridiron in recent years. In spite
of many serious injuries the squad
finished sixth in the Big Ten Con-
ference.
COACH SHI RRll.I.
On Thanksgiving Day the victory
over Hillsborough Terriers climaxed
our series of exciting games. Until the
last quarter the game was on even
terms. Then Jack Jones, after a 5 5 yard
run, brought the ball within a yard of
the Terriers goal line. Failing to make
the touchdown, the Panthers lost the
ball to the Hillsborough squad on their
four yard line and the Hillsborough
fullback kicked out seventy yards. A
few plays later, Bill Adams, our quar-
terback, received a pass from Carlton
and ran forty yards to make the only
score of the game in the last minute of
play.
To our credit we have five victories,
two ties and two defeats; seven of these
were Big Ten games. We attribute our
success on the field mainly, to the effi-
cient training by Coach Jimmie
Hughes.
The prospects for next year’s varsity
is promising as the B squad, under
Coach Bobby Sherrill, had a very suc-
cessful season.

Cl 1 EER LEADERS
Basketball
Despite many doubts at the begin-
ning of the year concerning the ability
of Plant eagers to uphold the former
court tradition, the inexperienced play-
ers gave the Panther supporters a pleas-
ant surprise.
The Panthers were given second place
in the Big Ten Conference, although
they had the best percentage of games
won and lost.
During the entire season the basket-
ball team played a total of 26 games,
winning 22 and losing 4. This makes
the third consecutive year that the
Plant Quintet has won the regional
championship. They defeated Hills-
borough in the finals, for the third vic-
tory over the Terriers this year.
The backbone of our team was com-
posed of Doyle Carlton and Mario
Cabrera, sharp-shooting forwards who
made a total of 259 and 212 points re-
spectively.
After winning the regional cham-
pionship the Panthers entered the state
tournament at Miami. They were ceded
third at this event. Daytona Beach
proved a capable team by defeating the
Panthers in the first round and going
on to win the state championship.

Girls Basketball
The Girls’ Basketball team finished a
fairly successful season with several vic-
tories to their credit. Mrs. Jack Dales,
their coach, was forced to resign toward
the end of the season due to illness; how-
ever, Margaret Carter, captain of the
team, carried on the responsibility.
We entered into competitive games
with the following local teams: Lee
Playground, Our Lady of Mercy, Tam-
pa U. Freshmen, Brandon and The
Sacred Heart Academy.
The following girls made up the "A”
team: Margaret Carter, captain; Mar-
gery Lambert, Mildred Anderson,
Peggy Quinby, Norma Rollins, Marilyn
Levy, and Wilma Hankins played as
forwards; Peggy Lee Walker, Ruth
Wisdom, Martha Milton, Berta Ander-
son, Nita Haynes, Betty Bentschner,
and Virginia Bergh as guards.
Martha Zewadski served as captain
of the "B” team, with Mary Hulsey,
Margaret LaMott, Anne Walker, and
Margaret Jeffcott as forwards. Billie
Webb, Gloria Gomez, Ruth Fox, and
Carolyn Davis played at the guard
positions.
