This Yearbook was donated to our Black Star Web Site for all to enjoy by The Hackler Family - Stella, Clyde and Sara

FOOTBALL 1936 With grim determination the football squad began practice in September with hopes of giving its opponents a real fight. Hard practice, team work, and the splendid training from Coaches Giles and Howard proved invaluable to the squad. Although the season was fairly unsuccessful in the eyes of the scoreboard, considering the game only the season was a success because it taught the boys the lesson it is meant to teach. "BE MEN". FOOTBALL SEASON OF 1936 Willard Phipps, one of our toughest and best players, whom will be missed greatly next year. Birchell Helton, quarter-back. The highest score for the Eagles with 34 points. His splendid cooperation with the team won a place for him as a leader as well as a real football player. John Hughes--Half-back, scored 7 in 1936 season. Next year we hope he will give a real exhibition of college football. Tom Elliott, Guard, showed the side-liners what a fellow with the stuff can do. He will be out for next year's lineup. Lee Land, Tackle, proved to the boys that a few extra pounds can be of a great advantage, especiallly for a tackle. Flem Shoupe, Back, gave a good account of himself in team work and helped the rest of the squad to keep going. Elmer Hall, Guard, will be back next year to back up his and Black Star's athletic record. Harold Moses, End, discovered that teamwork, faithful practice, and "I can take it" are the essentials for a football player. Hohn Caddelll, End, has two more years to add touchdowns to the Eagles. Clemo Dugger, Tackle, surprised the whole community by showing us that he was a real go getter and a football player. Paul Dunn, the boy who played nearly every position and could be relieve upon. Arnold Walters, Center, although small in stature and slightly under weight in comparison with the rst of the squad, always came up with his part. Jess Caddell, Tackle. J. M. Kelly, Back. Others who were out and will be back next year are Henry Carter, Alonzo Golden, and Bob Reynolds. Three boys who came out and were always there to practice, and will give some others some competition next year are Warren Elliott, Lemual Burnette and Clarence Reed. ---Birchell Helton	BLACK STAR BASKETEERS Reynolds, Thomas, Shoupe, Kelley J., Dugger Carter, Helton, Phipps, Golden Young BLACK STAR BASKETEERS The Black Star Basketeers completed one of their best seasons this year, winning 14 ou of 25 scheduled games. There was plenty of pep and spirit which helped materially in annexing victories. The team was one of the largest since 1934. The boys were able to advance into the finals at the District Tournament at Loyall, Kentucky. Helton and Reynolds, judged the most valuable men to the team in tournament play, were placed on the all-tournament team and awarded individual gold basket-balls. The team was awarded the Runners-up trophy. Reynolds and Carter were high point scorers for the season tallying 200 and 163 markers respectively. As only three letter men were lost by graduation the team is expecting a great season in 1938. --Henry Carter	BLACK STAR BASKETEERS Kelly, H., Dunn, Terrell, Caddell, Hall, Elliott, Walters

BLACK STAR HIGH SCHOOL BAND Black Star High School Band was organized this year under the direction of Mr. Steven Kelemen, Jr. with Gladys Ellwood as drum major. Under the patient and highly capable leadership of Mr. Kelemen the band has progressed rapidly. We played at the majority of the ball games and several times in chapel. The band entered in the contest at Pineville and was rated "good". We went to a band festival at Cumberland, Kentucky May 8, and to the Cumberland Valley Band Festival at Middlesboro, Kentucky May 15. We also attended the Laurel Festival at Pineville, May 29. In each of these gatherings Black Star Band rated with bands that have been organized for several years. --Elziabeth Young	SENIOR BOYS GLEE CLUB The Senior Boys' Glee Club was reorganized at the beginning of the school year. The club worked hard all the first semester and gave one assembly program, which was a great success and everyone enjoyed it immensely. Beginning the second semester we were quite fortunate to stay in the Glee Club because all voices were tried out by both Mr. Wiley and Miss Bradley. We who were selected practiced much to try to improve in ou singing. The Boys' Glee Club sang"Send Out Thy Light" by Gunod, in the contest at Lexington and received a rating of "Excellent". This was the highest rating given any entrant. The Mixed Chorus composed of both glee clubs was rated "Superior". There was only one other "Superior" given. Phipps, Carter, and Hughes sang in the All State Chorus directed by Dr. Hollis Dann of New York. To do this it was necessary to memorize seventeen songs. As only a limited number were selected from eah school it was quite an honor to take part.	SENIOR GIRLS GLEE CLUB President - Cleda Steele Vice President - Gladys Carter Secretary - Eloise Greene Librarian - Emaline Burnette Reorganization of the Glee Club under the direction of Miss Bradley meant that eery girl who made the club had a voice tested and approved. As only thirty girls were admitted to this group they all felt that it was quite an honor to belong. The girls worked hard on direction, tone quality, and keeping on pitch. Ratings at the district contest enabled the club to enter the State Music Contest at Lexington. The judges thought so well of the rendition of the song, "Beautiful Dreamer" by Foster, that the girls were rated, "Excellent." No higher rating was given. Sylvia Mae Fraim, Elizabeth Young and Christine Farmer sang in the All State Chorus directed by Dr. Hollis Dann of New York.
JUNIOR BOYS' GLEE CLUB At the beginning of the second semester Mr. Wiley and Miss Bradley tried out voices and selected the members of the Junior Boys' Glee Club. Our club sang at the music contest at Pineville in April. Under Mr. Wiley's capable direction we worked earnestly on two songs: "Drink to me Only With Thine Eyes", sung by the Boy's Club and "Bendemeers Stream", sung in chorus with the Girls' Junior Glee Club. The judges of the contest commented very favorably on our work. We enjoyed Glee Club work more than we thought to, and we received some valuable training this year that will help us when we become members of the Senior Boys' Glee Club.	JUNIOR GIRLS GLEE CLUB Gene Carter - President Verda Scott - Vice President Florine Hubbard - Secretary Irene Fore - Treasurer Cleo Jones - Librarian The Junior High School Girls' Glee Club was reorganized by the music director, Miss Mary Frances Bradley, at the beginning of the second semester. It was composed of twenty-seven girls of the seventh and eighth grades. We worked diligently on the Music Festival Contest numbers which were "Beautiful Dreamer", a three part chorus for the girls alone, and "Bendemeer's Stream", a mixed chorus for both girls and boys. The club gave several numbers in assembly and they were enjoyed by the entire group. We were rated very good in the contest. This pleased us as we had hoped to repay Miss Bradley for her patient work with us. ---Florine Hubbard	ROADEAN STAFF Sylvia Me Fraim - Editor-in-Chief Gladys Ellwood - Associate Editor John Hughes - Class Editor Paul Dunn - Club Editor Cecil Martin - Humor Editor Elbert Fore - Art Editor Eldon Hill - Business Manager FACULTY SPONSORS Mrs. Wiley - General Sponsor Mr. Hume - Mimeographing Mr. Giles - Advertising Miss Disney - Art Miss Bradley - Photography
THE DEBATE CLUB The Debate Club has been a very active organization this year. During the season they participated in eight non-decision debates; they won and lost to Harlan and Loyall, respectively. In the debate tournament, held in Pineville, they lost their first debate to Corbin; won their second from West Corbin; los the third, by only two points, to the state champions Middlesboro Team; and lost their fourth to Lynn Camp. Roy Brassfield, member of the debate team, won second in the Oratorical Contest. Paul Dunn and Roy Brassfield were the participants; Mr. Hume was the Faculty Sponsor.

Probably the most outstanding event of the year was sponsored by this class. The annual football banquet was planned, and seventy-five guests were served in a most hospitable way. We were very pleased with the many nice compliments that we received. We girls studied foods and clothing. One of the most practical subjects studied was the medicine chest. The result of the girls' work was highly commended by our teacher and our principal. One of the things enjoyed most was serving dinner to the Board of Education. We fell capable of doing excellent practical work now after our courses this year in Home Economics. --Joey Keyes
