1915 SEARCY HIGH GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM

This photo, which appeared on the front cover of the 2006 White County Heritage annual history, is the senior girls basketball team at Searcy High School in 1915.  The old Searcy High School is at left in the background.  The boiler room in the middle housed the boys rest room and the girls rest room.  At right is the old elementary school, which became the junior high

 

This photo of the same team was found, along with the cover photo, in the personal effects of Lucile Irwin Glass, mother-in-law of White County Historical Society member Mary Lou Glass.    Note there are eight players in this photo but only seven in the cover shot.  Compare their modest uniforms (even hair bows) to the attire of today
