When 600 grads march across the stadium field commencement night, a small blond boy will prance beside them. Ralph Hughes, the brainy class baby, is fifteen years old. He will graduate in May two years ahead of schedule with an accumulation of thirty-eight credits. With a birthday on November 29, 1927, the possibility of draft is far from his door. Ralph has been pouring his supernormal abilities on LRHS since last December when he was transferred from McAllen, Texas. At the age of four under his mother's guidance he had mastered the first grade. He entered the second grade of grammar school when he was five.
SAM COOTS - On the football field the praise usually goes to a man in the backfield position; however, those who have attended games to which Sam played have never failed to notice his astounding ability to hang on to that ball! Sam Coots can easily be dubbed the "Man of the Year" in sports at LRHS. "Man of the Year" in sports Pulaski Heights after lettering two years in Football, Basketball, and Track, with a record in the latter. His football career has been long and successful. He started out in his sophomore year in the End position on the Varsity Squad and has lettered all three years. Besides being the Co-Captain this last year he has made all-state end. His pass-snatching ability has been marveled at by experts and he has carried that pigskin over many times for the winning score. His basketball career has been as spectacular as his football. He has lettered two years in basketball and would be good candidate for another letter this year if there had been a Varsity team. In track he has lettered two years and will probably go out this year. His 6 foot 4 inches has taken him places in the high jump. His plans after graduation are obvious. He plans to go into the armed forces. Look out Tojo here he comes! BILLY "TUBBY" NICHOLS - The varsity football teams will be losing another good member as Billy Nichols bids his alma mater goodby. He has played two years in the Varsity Squad as an excellent tackle. He may never have been dubbed "Tubby" but no one can say that he didn't put it to good use as a line man on the team. He came to us from Pulaski Heights where he had lettered two years on their team. ROY REAGAN - a quiet but powerful athlete who will be bidding a farewell to LRHS, has shown that, throwing things has become a pastime to him. His sports career started in Pulaski Heights Junior High where he lettered one year in football, but his wrestling he enjoyed most. He has wrestled three years over here and has been crowned champion the last two years in the 165-pound class. In track he has lettered one year. The high jump being his specialty, he set a pace to follow even though he doesn't have a very small figure. In football he played a hard game and was promising End man. FRANKIE BIRCH - "Monk" came to Little Rock from McGehee, Arkansas. He entered Pulaski Heights in 1938 where he played one year of football and one year of basketball and lettered in both. Then LRHS gained his football and basketball talents in the fall of 1940. He was small for highschool football but that didn't stop "Monk". He made the Varsity in 1940 in spite of his size, however he didn't earn his letter. He gave a good account of himself the first year to be in the starting Tiger backfield in '41, where he was one of the Tigers strongest threats as a triple-threat back. In the spring of '41 he played on the Tiger hardwood, where he lettered one year. PAUL HORTON - "Bama" entered Pulaski Heights in 1938 from Montgomery, Alabama (hence his nickname). Paul played one year of football and one year of basketball in junior high and lettered in both. In the fall of 1940 he came to highschool. He played class league and in the fall of '41 he gained a lot of experience that was valuable to him in the '42 season, in which he handled a lot of passing, punting, and scampering assignments on the gridiron. Paul was on the Tiger Cubs for two years. SAM STATHAKIS - "Greek" started on his football career in East Side. WHen he came to LRHS, he waited until his Junior year to go out but he didn't letter that year. Last year, however, he went out for it again and besides winning a letter he made all- state second team. Football is the only sport he has cared for. When asked what he planning to do when he got out of school, he answered, "More than likely go to the army but I want to go to college to play some football." BILL WILKINS - A well-known individual who has lettered in track both in Junior High School and Senior will be another loss to the LRHS Cinder fans. Bill Wilkins received his letter in the State Track meet of 1942. The sprints, relays, and broad jumps were easy meat for him with those legs of his hardened by the workouts they have received in swimming. He swims every summer out at Fair Park, receiving honors for participating in the State AAU meet out there. He showed a splendid form in diving. 50 and 200 meter free style at this meet. Besides his sports activities here at school he has been on the advertising staff of the TIGER. When asked about his future plans, he answered, "I'll probably work out at the swimming pool until I get my call to the Army." COWLE HAMILTON - An all-round athelete who has shown his abilities in practically every sport will be stepping into school colors for the last time when track searson gets under way. His good-natured way, and his abilities have made Cowle Hamilton a favorite. His sports activities were wide and he has shown good form in each activity. He has lettered one year in track. Placing the pole vault, broad jump, and javalin were easy feats for him. He has boxed in the annual tournament two years. He played one year of varsity football and has won consolation in a golf tourniment. For exercise he manages to work in his schedule, tennis and swimming.
All praises seem to have gone to the graduates so far, but senior sponsors deserve much credit for guiding us over the rough spots. They know our good points and our bad, yet somehow they have had the heart to over look the latter and are sending us on our long journey ahead with advice and knowledge, and with sincere hope that we will be the leaders and the backbone of our world tomorrow.
