A Lament---Nevermore
Alas! our school days will soon soon he rfer:
We shall tread these halls
Nevermore--nevernzore.7
No more shall we altend a class,
1For we already have attended oar las! I.
Nevermorel Nevermoref
No more shall are enjoy the chapel hour
Or the songs we have sang o'er and o'er.
Nevermore-nevermorel
Nor shall we rush from school at noon,
And hasten back perhaps too soon,
Nevermorel lV6'U67'lILOf8.,
Shall we hasten out at the fire drill r
Or complain to Mrs. Bradley that we are ill?
lVezJerrnorefneverrnorel
Hut Ah! In detention we will slay,
Hour afler hour, day after day

In Loving Memory of
MISS INA DAVIS
"There is one Goff, one lam, one element,
And one jar 06 divilze event
To which the whole creation movesfz
MISS DAVIS, teacher of history, passed from life October 9, 1923, after six years
of continuous service in the ABILENE HIGH SCHOOL. As a teacher her work will live
in the broader vision of those she so carefully trained. As a friend she was 'true and
faithful, giving her confidence cautiously, yet when given, it was Iirm and constant.
Her moral courage was of the type that held strong and fearless in the martyr age.
"The soft memory of her virtues yet lingers like the sunset hues after the bright sun
has set.,7

Senior Class of '24
.fls the Senior Class looks from the battlefield,
Where the victory she has won,
To the ,Qght that is now before her,
She perceives she has just begun.
She determines to fight and to conquerg
She deceives herself no more
By thinking the work behind her
Was harder than that before.
KI've just come to real work," she tells herself,
H.4nd I intend to do that work right,
So that when I die, my friends may say,
4She has really fought a good fight.,
HI have tried to do what I could for my school,
Though that share seems small indeed,
So please just remember as you look at it,
That I couldn,t do less than succeed.
NSo now I must put on my armor
And go out to the fight that's before.
Adieu, dear old High School,
Best wishes, from the Class of 724-.
-ROBERTA TURNER.

HARRIETT HODGES
Harriett is a good friend whose good
nature is always on top. Her amusements
are talking and chewing gum.
6'Happy am lg from care lim jreeg
Why aren'z they all content like m.e?',
W. T. AUSTIN
"Tyntz,, is noted for his lengthiness both
in speaking and size. Baseball is his
hobbyg last year he won a letter by hold-
ing down the first sack.
'gHe rnnltiplieth words without h'I10ICl8dgE.,,
MARGARET HOY
We thought Margaret immune to "flap-
per1sm" until she came to school one day
with her raven tresses shorn.
"Not all the tresses that fair head can boast
Shall draw such envy as the ones you lost."
EULA BELLE WHITTLE
.ludging from outward appearances, we
believe that Eula Belle's heart is big
enough to love the whole world and that
it loves her.
c'She meets the old world, smiling,
And somehow it smiles back at herf,
HASSELL BROWN
Unlike most boys so full of pep, "Hass"
is nearest heaven when seated comfortably
before a cheerful fire with a good book.
'4Hass,' comes out for everything in ath-
letics, baseball being his game.
JAMES HANDY
James is one of those distinguished and
fortunate persons who finished at mid-
term. He has nothing to worry about un-
til college opens next September. His pet
hobby is chasing a pack of hounds.

HOWARD HEATH
"These are the times that try men's
souls," quoted Howard as he went to his
final examination in English, but he al-
ways proved equal to the test. His new
Ford mirrors smiles from the fair sex.
WILL SUTTON
Willis greatest weakness consists in
camouflaging the public with respect to
himself, yet he excels as student Cprize-
winning-essay writerl, an orator, and a
good sport.
"Mellow nuts have the hardest finds."
NORMA RAMSEY
Norma, alias "Kinkf' is mischievous and
inquisitive, Mr. Green is fond of pulling
her curls, but she is alwa s read with a
Y y Y

GRACE JONES
,Happiness and good nature personified
and a fascinating combination of laughter
and mischief! Grace is always ready for
a "go" or a fussg then she will talk-good-
ness how she will talk fwith her hands? .
ADOLPHUS JENNINGS
"Redbird" is like a surprise party. You
never know what to expect from him. He
sits in class as glum as a spinx, but his
grades are good. He is often heard to
say, HGod bless the man who first invented
sleepf'
OPAL STEVENSON
Opal distributes her smiles impartially
among her friends and reaps smiles and
friends in return. Her disposition makes
one feel that she will succeed in life, what-
ever her vocation may be.

JUANITA BACON
.luanita is a charming little Senior. Her
idea seems to be:
'4Let nothing discourage youg never
give upg
A pound of pluclris worth az lot of luck."
LEROY JENNINGS
"Roy" is always trying to bully someone,
but it is only in fun. His greatest delight
is to expound upon the subject of elec-
tricity.
"A nice young man, but very shyg
He might like to study, but he hates to
try.',
FRANCES MCELROY
The trite expressions, 'ibeautiful golden
curlsv and 'ilovely eyes," fail to describe
Frances. Though she has those two char-
acteristics, she has also a personality dis-
tinctly her own. Do her aspirations leap?
Yea, by "Bounds"
BETTY LASLEY
Betty is like a cubic foot of laughing
gas compressed into one small soda straw.
Her ambition is to become famous as '6Miss
Betty Lasley, Pianist," and to rival Pader-
ewski. We're sure she'll do it, too.
MORRIS HODGES
"Mas', is a great Fisherman. Some day
he will write a 4hCompleat Angler" and be
a second Izaak Walton, but his fish will
be hearts. Though silent on most occa-
sions, he compensates for it in Public
Speaking class,
FAYE SALYER
Faye has all the peculiar characteristics
of a successful school teacher, but it re-
mains to be seen whether she will choose
that profession or become a home decora-
tor.
"A lovelier flower on earth was never seen."

MARIAN HALE
Marian has much confidence in herself,
for regularly she comes to the Study Hall
with that distinguished, lazy walk of hers,
just two minutes before the tardy bell. Her
one talent is managing.
CHARLES BEDFORD

type we lament is vanishing-is quiet,

ELVA CLAIRE MILLER
'LA little learning is a dangerous thing",
so Elva Claire steers clear of the danger
by making exemption grades. She is a
loyal member of every activity that makes
A. H. S. what it is.
JEFFIE LEE STEGNER
Jeff is quiet, modest, and bright, but
that isn't all. She is good at making every-
body like her. When it comes to writing,
she is a second Palmer.
ALLEN SHAHAN
Shahan is as quiet as a mouse, but he
has the spring of a cat. Allen likes all,
and is liked by all. 4'The world holds no
horrors for me,', he quotes.
ULUS N EWMAN
"Tinyl' left Sweetwater to come to a
real school, and has made many friends
in Abilene High. Her highest desire is to
laugh, talk, and chew gum in the study
hall, and get by with it.

EMPRESS YOUNG
Charming, energetic, and loyal Empress
--truly a Wonderful bit of humanity! She
has always held enviahle positions in every
department of school life,
"Excellent in taste, practiced in grace
Not a Senior can keep her pace."
WAYNE HUDSPETH
Wayne is the only boy in Mr. Dudley's
School Management class. Wonder why?
He says he does not intend to be a school
teacher, but just wants to be upopularv
among the girls. We wish him success!
MINA DRUMMOND
True-hearted, faithful, and loyal, Mina
is a girl who does her hest to make good.
She is the type of person who thinks much
and says little. Smiles come and gog hers
always come.
LUCILLE BKUMLEY
Though you're pretty mul vivaeious,
And your smile and hair are bright.
Though you are sometimes quite flirtatious
Abilene High votes you ALL RIGHT.
FLOYD TOLIVER
Floyd is not a towering giant, but he
makes up for his smallness of stature in
pure grit and speed. He is so fast that
his friends have trouble in finding him.
His pipe and smile are inseparable.
WINIFRED JOINER
For four years Winifred has come
twelve miles for his education, while many
refuse to come three blocks. Such grit
and determination are sure to Win any-
where, Whether on the athletic field or in
the class room.

JUANITA WINSETT
Juanita has been a member of our class
for only this year, but uto know her is
to love herf, We have heard that she is
a lover of music and especially of the
piano, not a player-piano but a piano-
player.
IRVING FIELDS
Fields' brilliance awes you-or is it his
bewitching eyes? Resolute, energetic, hon-
estfwhatever he goes after, he gets.
'4Here,s to Field's, as silent as a Sphinx,

LORENA COOK
Lorena, like March who "comes in like
a lion and goes out like a lambf, comes
into our hearts with terrific thrills and
sensations, and her presence gives us that
soothing, gentle, lamb-like feeling.
VELMA JOHNSON
Both teachers and pupils love Velma at
first sight because she has a lovable per-
sonality, and an air of friendliness about
her. She has laughed her way through High
School, and we shall be the loser when
she leaves.
BU FORD FREE
Buford is an excellent example of the
old adage that 'fstill water runs deepf,
The only time he makes a noise is when
he is playing his tromboneg then he cer-
tainly knows his Hstufff'
FRANCIS FRY
Although Francis does not prostrate
himself at work on his studies, he proves
his capability by answering thought ques-
tions. The debateris favorite pastime is
rescuing fair ladies from the stream at
Hermann Gardens.

good nature have won her an enviable
place.
With a smile, a laugh, or a word of cheer.
Marjorie is, indeed, a dear.
LUCILE HOWARD
One standing around listening to Lucile
talk would think that she is practicing to
he a lawyer, but that is just Lucile's way
of expressing herself,
"And I have heard she is a mighty goorl

RUTH MILLARD

MADGE WHITE
Madge manages her own affairs, never
worrying about anything except her les-
sons. In spite of her timid appearance,
there is a bit of hidden fun about Madge
that comes to light only outside the class
room.
HERBERT SOUTHWORTH
i'Fritz" broke in at last, making his debut
in his first long trousers on December 31,
1923. What an exciting time! We'd
been so sure he'd graduate in short'uns.
Little Republican, Hiram's supporter, is
brim full o' wit, intelligence, and disputa-
tion.
ALICE SOUTHWORTH
A playful nature has Alice. She does
not say much in geometry class, but dur-
ing the luncheon hour she gives the girls
red pepper. We think that Alice will he-
conie a famous Texas tennis champion.
ORA McDONALD
Even though she has bobbed hair, Ora's
not a flapper. She is a good student, as
is shown by her making 84 on an entrance
"exam" in history after just one night's
"0ramming.',
DONALD HOUGHTON
Donald has the stature of an Apollo and
the brow of a Jupiter. Juggling facts and
statistics in an extempore speech is mere
play to him. He has the makings of a
congressman or a Hjellybeanf,
CLIFFORD TAYLOR
Clifford is without an equalg she wastes
no time on the frivolities of life.
"Coodnatured, with a giggle that laps
over twice and buttons behind."

VIRGINIA DAVIS
We have found the lost Virginia Dare
right here in our own Virginia Davis. El-
feminate, intelligent, reserved-she is an
exemplary girl and one that we Senior
are proud to have in our ranks.
AUBREY TAYLOR
' Aubrey's motto seems to be, L'Mind your
own businessf' or Wfhe less you talk, the
more you learn." He talks little and
learns much, and thus has gained the re-
spect of his school mates.
INEZ REEVES
Who could be grouchy in her jublant
presence? Every girl says she is "just
darling."
She has wisdom. grace, and witg
But she is not spoiled n bit.
EDITH MILAM
Edith is a diminutive blond who is full
of 'cpepf' generous, and good-hearted. She
says that if she grows up in time she will
teach school, and because of her industry
and natural ability, we predict that she
will be successful.
WEBB LARGE
Webb's slogan seems to be 6'Speak only
when you are spoken tog then have some-
thing important to tell." He is an excel-
lent student a genial classmate, and bids
fair to he a successful business man.
LOUISE GRIFFITH
Louise, with her wavy blond hair and
mischievous blue eyes, is the idol of the
G an G's. She could be exempt from any-
thing save the beauty contest, and in that
she was a favorite candidate.

EMMETT FREEMAN
Emmett would make a real orator if he
could only master his English and the
tongue-twisters in Public Speaking. This
general favorite has been voted the miss-
ing link in the Darwinian theory.
TIDDLES McGINTIE
Tiddles, sometimes called A'Willie,', is
our Flashlight queen. She makes a good
worker when you are there to see that she
works.
Little and loud, with a flapper stare,
Hut dorft you worry, sheill always be there.
R. B. BRIGGS
A quick word, a startled look from ques-
tioning eyes, and then a broad smile-
that's ",liggs', all over, He fairly radiates
smiles, especially when a girl speaks to
him. His big heart is divided among his
friends, school work, and baseball.
ROBERT COFFMAN
bl never let my studies interere with my
education," says Robert. He is unusual,
democratic, and has an abundance of abil-
ity.
"Sunny Jim" wears a perpetual smile,
To him lifeis always well worth while."
HARRY LEE CARPENTER
Harry Lee and his tuba, which he re-
grets is too large to serenade the girls with,
are familiar figures in Abilene High
School. Where does the popular villian
of "O HARA SAN" come in? For fun.
MAURICE BROOKS
"Greaser," our lanky end, was an in-
dispensable cog in that Eagle machine.
Good looking and obstinate-he has brains
in heaps.
Everybody up. Fifteen for '4Greaser

THE STUDENT ASSOCIATION
The Student Association was reorganized for the year on October 2, 1923. The
organization has for its purpose the fostering and supporting of athletics, debate,
declamation, essay-writing, spelling, and other student activities. A very able body
of officers was elected, who, under the leadership of our -enthusiastic president, "Dub7'
Wooten, made this a very successful year.
The Association of '23 wrote on the pages of Abilene High School history that
the seal with its rays illuminating the word "Abilene" shall be permanent, that the
gridiron eleven, who won for Abilene High the 1923 championship, be christened the
6'Eagles'7g that each player who has completed either his four years on the 'agridv
or is finishing his high school career be presented with a black sweater bearing the
time-honored gold HA."
In addition to these things, there has been created as the youngest organization
of the Association, the Pep' Squad fwearers of the uniform dark skirts and yellow
blazersl-these shall, in the future, lead Abilene High onward and upward to the
chant of their slogan: uYour pep! Your pep! You've got it, now keep itg dog-
gone it! don't lose it-your pepln

AGNES CALDWIQLL Treasurer
The C an C, a secret organization, started among the senior girls
several years ago, had for its members eighty girls who pledged
themselves to be loyal and true to the school at all times. The girls
were initiated in the early fall by a few of the senior girls of last
year. The initiation, a mysterious affair, taught the graduates that
even they had not experienced all things in life. At the hrst meet-
ing Gwendolyn Mudd was elected president and Norma Ramsey,
secretary.
Meetings of the organization were held once every six weeks. At
these times all business was attended to and suggestions were made
for helping the members do their duty. As there were so many in
the organization, it was impossible to have entertainments during
the winter, but is expected that there will be several meetings in the
spring.
The purpose of the C an G is to uphold the honor and dignity
of the Senior Class and to foster a democratic social spirit among
the girls of Abilene High School.

THE K. O. K.
The K. U. K., an organization composed of the letter men of the school and hav-
ing for its purpose the betterment of the underclassmen, has long made history in
the Abilene High School. It is not intended solely as a Kourt of amusement, but
it really strives to correct the faults of the underclassmen and to instruct them in
what they should and should not do. ln chronic cases this instruction takes on a
more formidable manner, and in all cases gratifying results have been obtained. The
Kourt has proved very effective not only in preventing disorder during school but
also in improving the manners of the Freshmen. It is quite a coincidence that since
the Kourt has been active, all Freshmen have been loyal to the school activities and
have faithfully attended rallies.
These marked results have been obtained through several methods, and herein
lie the secrets of the Kourt. It is sufficient to say that a jury composed of the mem-
bers of the football team, with Tubby Hembree prosecuting attorney and such
honorable witnesses as Sheriff Dick Bryan and his two deputies, Dub Wooten and
Chile Wells, together with Judge Hanna, there has been little difficulty in obtaining
convictions in all cases tried this year. Along with its own high purpose, the Kourt
has always attempted to aid the faculty in keeping order. and the Kourt appreciates
the cooperation of the faculty.
Since they were determined to have a Senior girl as ufllashlightl' Queen, the
K. 0. K. took an active part in the contest, and this year put its representative on the
front page.
To all whom it may concern, which includes Freshmen, Sophomores, juniors.
and unruly Seniors, let this be a warning:
BEWARE OF THE K. O. K.

The question for debate this yearfflesolved, That the United
States should join the League of Nationsfhas proved a very interest-
ing subject, and has aroused greater enthusiasm in the student body
than any other question we ever have had.

MRS. PEARCE
For the lirst time in the history of Abilene High School a Home
Economics Club has been organized. The founders of the club,
Mrs. Pearce, Miss Turnbough, and Miss Compere, helped the girls
organize on Monday, January 21, 1924, and only girls who had
taken some form of Home Economics were admitted as members.
The Club meets twice a month on Tuesdays. On the lirst Tues-
day is a social meeting, on the second, a program meeting. The
social meetings consist of initiation parties, hikes, and picnics. Cur-
rent topics are discussed at the ilogram meetings,
The Home Economics Club has a threefold purpose, hrst, to en-
list more interest in the Home Economics Department, second, to
keep older members of the department in touch with the depart-
ment, third, to provide social recreation for the girls. The Club
is doing great w ork, and it is wished by each member that this or-
ganization may live as long as our dear old Abilene High.

LOS TRABAJ ADORES
MOTTO: El trabajo hace la vida mas agradable.
FLOWER: The red carnation.
COLORS: Red and White,
On February 26, 1924, a group of Spanish students Inet in Room 2 for the purpose of organ-
izing a Spanish club. After Mr. Allen told what the advantages of such a club would be, every
one became very enthusiastic. The following officers were elected: Will Henry Haney, Presi-
dentg Herbert Southworth, Vice-Presidentg Helen Noble, Secretary-Treasurerg Thomas Lane,
Reporterg and Mr. Allen, Critic. The Club was organized for the purpose of learning to speak
Spanish more fluently. Spanish is used entirely at the meetings, which come every other Tues-
day night at the HY" Hall. At the meetings at which programs are held, the old Spanish countries
are studied. Occasionally there are to be held social meetings at which we expect to have a good
time and to learn a great deal of Spanish.
This is the first organization of its kind that has been attempted in this school, and it is
hoped by all the members now that this may become a permanent club of Abilene High School.

The purpose of the society is to give to
the students who have no opportunity, out-
side of school, experience in appearing be-
fore an audience. The society is divided
into two sections, .lunior and Senior, each
of which furnishes programs at the so-
ciety meetings. Many interesting read-
ings, orations and musical numbers have
been given during the year. A study in
parliamentary law with senior boys in
charge has proved to be the most instruc-
tive program offered.
During the second term the same work
is being carried on under the direction of
the following officers:

LLOYD BROWNE
"Seep', is beyond doubt the best reserve quarter and
halfback that Abilene High has ever had. This was i "'-' -
Lloydis first year as a letter mann but he could be de- is f tt' i L 1
pended on to take any place in the backfield. His broken- t
field running was a pretty thing to watch. Once in the
Wichita game it appeared as if he stood still and, after in j ig
letting five tacklers take a try at him, then gave them the
dodge.

ABILENE 7-STAMFORD 0
The initial game of the season, played with Stamford, was a terrific struggle, the score 7-0
showing in a measure, the fierceness of the combat. Neither team knew itself, that is to say
that since this was the first game for both schools, neither eleven showed very close team work.
But every one will admit that Stamford had a defense that was almost invincible. The Stamford
crew showed their strength once by holding Abilene for downs on the 10-yard line.
The only score of the game was made in the last five minutes of play, during which time
the Eagles advanced the ball from midfield by a series of end runs, line bucks, and forward passes
down to the 9-yard line where, on the third down, Pete passed the ball across the goal line to
Leroy Jennings, a substitute who had taken Brooks' place on end. Pele kicked goal as the
whistle blew.

ABILENE 62-EASTLAND 0
Two weeks after the Stamford game, we met Eastland and had an easy victory over her,
beating the Red and Black warriors by the score of 62-0. Wonders had been worked with Eagles
due to the efforts of Coach Shotwell, and We opened the game with a rush that has always been
characteristic of old Abilene High. ln the first quarter, we secured the lead and, although East-
land fought hard, maintained it throughout the game. All of our subs and part of the second
team men were used, but they proved their meltle by making touchdowns almost at will during
the final quarter.

ABILENE 25--COMANCHE 0
By beating the Comanche eleven, we drove another peg into the ladder in our climb for the
State Championship, The Eagles gave the Comanches' a perfect exhibition of broken-field run-
ning when Steve galloped for sixty yards and put over a touchdown. Steve was not the only one
to do stellar playing, however, for Bounds, Dub, Chile, and Pete all came in for their share of
the honors. Mason and Boyd starred for Comanche.

ABILENE 104.-DUBLIN 0
We smashed the Dublin aggregation by the top-heavy score of 104--0. The Eagles got the ball
at the beginning of the game and made a touchdown in the first three minutes of play, after
which touchdowns came frequently. Several times Abilene received the ball on the kick-off and
ran through for a touchdown. The longest run of the game, a distance of eighty yards, was
made by Steve when he scored a touchdown through right tackle.
The interference of the Eagles was a pretty thing to watch. Every man was in his place, and
the Dublin team was unable to break through to the man with the ball. At length Dublin was
forced to stop playing in the third quarter because she did not have enough substitutes to re-
place the men who were forced out of the game on account of injuries.

ABILENE 59-BIG SPRING 0
We moved up another round in our climb for the State championship when we beat Big
Spring to the tune of 59-0. This made our fifth victory, and brought the total number of our
points scored this season to 2579 as yet the Eagles' goal line was uncrossedf
The Eagles drove their talons into the Big Spring aggregation, and at no time was our goal
line in danger, while we crossed their goal line nine times. Four of the touchdowns were the
results of forward passes, one of an intercepted pass, and the remaining four came as the results
of straight football. Probably the most brilliant feature of the game was Seep Browne's
interception of a Big Spring forward pass and his racing sixty yards for the goal. Bob Compton
also showed his ability as a broken-field runner when he ran forty yards through the entire Big
Spring team for a touchdown.

its stages, the Eagles smothered Breckenridge by 3 score of 74-0.
The Green and White warriors were able to make only one first down during the entire
game fthis was done in the last minute of play on a forward passl while the Abilene team made
a total of thirty-three first downs. The Oil City crew fought hard, but they were overwhelmed
by the Eagles, offensive, but even so, a good many breaks were against the Green and White.
Abilene, who took the offensive in the first part of the game and kept it the greater part of the
time, pushed across a touchdown in the first four minutes of play. During the fourth quarter,
when all the subs were in the game, and they were pushing across touchdowns almost at will a
Breckenridge man was heard to say, HAbilene has seven backfield men! and each one of them is
about as good as the other,"

ABILENE 19-CISCO 7
Every football team has its off day, the day we met Cisco was our "Friday l3." According
to dope, the Eagles had a 64--point edge on the Lobos, but the dope bucket was turned over. The
backfield of any team Cannot win without the support of the line. The Eagles did not play as a
perfect machine but as eleven individuals. This was most likely due to their underestimating
Cisco's strength. Cisco fought hard and put across a touchdown, a feat that only Boody Johnson
could do last year. Red Smith, Cisco's right tackle and the greatest menace to the Eagles line,
broke through the line several times and smeared as many plays.
The Eagles scored during the opening minutes of play in the second quarter, but Red Smith
broke through and ruined Pete's chance for the extra point. A penalty and 21 fumble then gave
Cisco the ball. A Cisco man caught, juggled, and finally held what appeared to be an imp0ss'lf e
forward pass. He was brought down on the 5-yard line, and on the fourth down the Lobos pushel

The Eagles were unable to score during the third period, and it surely did look dark for a
while. But in the fourth quarter, the Eagles came back with the fight that has won for us many yi '

ABILENE 53-STEPHENVILLE 0 Z
For four times in as many consecutive years Abilene has been the undisputed champion of 94
District 3. By smothering Stephenville with the score 53-0, we again maintained this honor. ,
Although the Eagles outweighed the Yellow Jackets twelve pounds to the man, the Stephen-
ville team put up, in the first quarter, the strongest offense we had met up to that time. But the A
Yellow Jackets were strong on the defense as well as on the offense, and they displayed their fj
strength by once holding us for downs on our 4'-yard line. 'iffy
The main event of the day came when Steve thrilled the crowd as he side-stepped, dodged,
and stiff-armed his way sixty-four yards for a touchdown. Although the stands were filled with
Stephenville rooters-for the game was played at Stephenville-he was given a mighty cheer,

It is not intended to cast any reflection on the Fort Stockton team, but it must be admitted that they
were so far outclassed by our warriors that they hardly furnished us scrimmage practice. As ,
evidence of this fact, Fort Stockton was able to make only nine yards during the entire game, and Q

Abilene received the ball on Fort Stockton's fifty-nine yard line, and in five downs we pushed 41

gave up the game in the third quarter. By winning this game, we won the championship of Dis-

life By defeating the Golden Sandstorm, we annexed to our list of victories the championship fr
of Districts 1 and 2. Amarillo came to Abilene determined to get revenge for the defeat suffered
c' ' by them at our hands last year, but they met a team more determined than ever to defeat them
again. The Golden Sandstorm took a funnel shape in the first quarter, but the Eagles settled the
dust in the last three quarters. After all is said, it must be admitted that if Kelly, the Sandies' ,
left half had been able to stay in the game, the score might have taken on a different aspect. X
lil The game was full of thrills. Early in the contest it looked as if Steve had broken the tie 4

Thus Abilene lost her only chance of scoring during the initial quarter. During this quarter
Amarillo was strongest, making three consecutive first downs. During the second and the third
quarters the Eagles scored fourteen points, but it remained until the fourth quarter for the shower
of points to come-we Htotedi' the pigskin across the goal line five times in that quarter. Dub

breezed eighty yards for a touchdown.

ABILENE 25-WICHITA FALLS 0
The Eagles exemplified the fact that team work is better than one-man playing when they
defeated the Coyotes. To Leo Baldwin, Wichita's lanky left half, who was said to be the best
backfield man in Texas high school football, must go the honor of being the outstanding player
of both teams. Wichitais attack was centered around Baldwin, and in defeating him, we defeated
Wichita,
The game in the first quarter looked as if it would settle into a match of strength and force
against strength and force, but the superior team work, the better playing, and the greater
knowledge of football possessed by the Eagles won for Abilene. The first quarter passed with
neither side's scoring. In the second quarter, Dick grabbed Baldwinis punt on the 10-yard line
and lumbered across the goal line. In the third quarter Steve, running true to form, stepped off
sixty-seven yards for a touchdown-the longest single gain of the game. In the fourth quarter
Baldwin gave Abilene a clear case of heart failure when he broke loose and ran forty-yards. It
looked as if he were good for a touchdown, but he failed to take into consideration Tubby, who
crept up on him and made a beautiful tackle from behind.
This game settled the championship for Northern Texas, and again gave us the chance to
mix it with Waco, the champions of Southern Texas.

ft The scene of this memorable battle was on the muddy, rain-soaked, grid-iron of the Fair

As the statistics verify, Abilene clearly outplayed Waco in every department of the game.
except in passing, and the Eagles did not try any passes. Waco lost her best chance to score
when she fumbled the ball on Abilene's 7-yard line, The second quarter was a hard fight through-
out, during which time- Abilene made two first downs, and the period closed without either
fl. team's gaining any noticeable advantage. Both sides were getting desperate. The fourth quarter
was almost gone when Abilene punted over the goal line. .lust as Kelly, Waco's right half, tried
if and end run from the 20-yard line, he fumbled, and Dick, scooping up the ball, ran several yards
Z nearer the Waco goal line before he was brought to the ground. In three downs, the ball was
Z placed squarely in front of the goal posts. Pete dropped back to the 25-yard line and place-
kicked the mud-covered pigskin squarely between the uprights. The Abilene fans went wild,
and, right then, there was not one who would not have gladly given everything he or she poss-
sessed to Pete. The Tigers started an aerial attack in the last few minutes of play, making two
good gains on passes. But in spite of this advantage, Boody Johnson miserably failed when he
X tried to drop-kick from the 32-yard line. The ball was recovered by Abilene on her 4-yard line,
if and here it rested when, a minute later, the final whistle blew that brought to Abilene the State
I championship.
This was indeed the grand finale of a glorious season for the unconquerable Eagles, the
toast of Abilene High and the pride of all Texas.

Track
As early as January there were a few men working the kinks out of their mus-
cles, but track practice proper, under the direction of Coach Shotwell, did not start
until the latter part of February.
On account of the early date of going to press, we are unable to give the results
of the county and district meets, but as the time for these events draws near, the
prospects for a winning track team look bright. Among the letter men back this year
are Captain Bryan, Pete Hanna and Bill Rathmell. Dick will surely show some one
strong competition in the hurdles, Pete is still covering the middle distances in record
time, and Bill is showing up well in the weights. The most promising of the new-
comers this year is Roy Stevens, who comes to us from Merkel. Steve was third
high point man at the State meet last year, winning second in both the 100 and 220-
yard dashes and Hrst in the broad jump. He also starred in football this year with
the Eagles. Arlos Cilbreth is another honor man in the State meet last year, winning
third in the half mile, class B.
We hope that the 1924 track team will win laurels for themselves and glory for
Abilene High School.

There are between forty and fifty men coming out reguarly, and with seven letter
men back, the chances for a winning team look good. The annual American-
National game is to be played on March the eighteenth. A three-day series of games
has been scheduled with the Golden Sandstorm at Amarillo, to be played on April
27, 28, and 29. A game has also been arranged with Rotan, but the date for playing
has not been set yet.
Since this book goes to press so early in the year, we are unable to give an
account of any of the games, but We hope that uDusty'7 lVliller, the captain, will lead
our team to many victories.

ueer Old Diana
O Diana, goddess of the moon and of the chase,
Why dost thou stand forever in that same old place,
And act, and look, and seem so queer,
And not at all like most of us here?
O Lady fair, why hast thou never drawn that arrow from its quiver?
Why is thy stag eager to jump forever,
And yet it never tireth?
And thy bow-it never fireth?
0 Goddess, things queer are happening here,
But some of these to you are very near,
And the queerest things that I ever did see
Are happening right here by me.
For thou art called the goddess of the moon,
And yet thou remain forever in the gloom
Of this old dreary study hall,
And never even to thy two companions dost thou call.
What happens here at night,
That makes thy stag look such a sight,
With his feet where his horns should be,
And his horns adorning his knee?
Why, on some occasion, with a ribbon on thy head,
Dost thou dress up in gaudy green and red?
Dost thou seek the lover's kiss of a modern cavalier?
If not, why dost thou wear the headdress of one who sits so near?
I know thou dost not like to talk,
Especially to a mortal who the lowly earth must walk,
But Goddess, as I before thee bow,
Wilt thou answer just one question now?
0 Diana fair, for four long years have I sat here by thy side,
When I am gone, oh tell rne, if thou canst decide,
Wilt thou remember me as I will remember thee, or still
Wilt thou forget me as all these other mortals will?
-THOMAS LANE.

ARMY-NAVY RECEPTION
The annual affair which follows the Army-Navy game was given
at the Parish House, October the sixth. As the game which opens
the football season ended in a scoreless tie, and since the Army won
the ticket selling, the Navy was in charge of the reception, however
the Army 'cchipped inn and shared the expense. At eight olclock
the crowd began to gather, and by eight-thirty it had assumed ap-
preciable proportions. The program, consisting of group contests,
jokes, and games, was so very well organized that every minute was
full of hilarious fun. This verv successful affair was culminated
by refreshments consisting of chocolate ice cream cones, which were
enjoyed to the utmost by two hundred happy enthusiastic guests.
JUNIOR-SENIOR HALLOWE,EN PARTY
On the cold misty evening of October 27, the Juniors gave a
Halloween party honoring the Seniors. At seven-thirty olclock, the
ghosts crept up the stairway, and halted at the door which led to
the beautifully decorated 'LYW rooms. At the door each ghost had to
expose his identity. ln turn, he was given a number, a pencil, and
paper, and sent in to recognize his ghost friends, and to write their
names on his paper. The one who collected the greatest number
of names was awarded a handsome prize.
Witches, dens were stationed in each corner of one of the rooms,
and every spook had a chance to have his fortune told by a wise old
witch. After everyone was gathered into one room, the lights were
turned off, and a very weird ghost tale was told by Miss Empress
Young. Music and singing were furnished during the entire event.
When all were unmasked, everybody took part in a snake dance.
During the latter part of the party, a long line was formed and each
guest in turn was served a plate containing an all-day sucker in witch
costume as a plate favor, pumpkin pie, and coffee. This was one
of the happiest events of the year.
GLEE CLUB PARTY
The NYU halls became the scene of much merry making as the
boys and girls of the Abilene High School Glee Clubs gathered to
celebrate their coming out. Eats, fit for the followers of Euterpe,
were passed, but these served only to tease our palates forgalasl
glossy snakes, celebrating the victory of the Eagles, danced in, and
suddenly all was dark. When Pluto reigned no more, behold!
there were no snakes, likewise, no refreshments. But singers
shouldnit be fat.

THE OPERETTA
The first appearance of the Glee Clubs was in the operetta 'LO
Hara San,'7 by Edward Johnston. This was a delightful presenta-
tion. The colorful Japanese costumes and scenery added to the
attractiveness of the program. Of special note was the excellent
work done by those taking the principal parts. The dramatic work
was exceedingly well directed by Miss Myrtle Trantham.

FOOTBALL BOX PARTY
To none other than the Majestic at Dallas was afforded the
pleasure of being the first to have as guests the members of the
victorious football team from the West. From box seats adorned
with those gold and black blankets smeared with the precious mud
from a victorious gridiron, that valiant team and its beloved coach
enjoyed a theatre party-yes, enjoyed it,fe-for it was indeed a treat
just to sit and Watch the stars in another field of action Without
having to exert any physical or even mental effort. No form of
entertainment in recognition of their enviable achievement could
have been enjoyed more.
VICTORY
I turned lo the cliotionary
For a worfl I COUtlllll,l spell,
Anil closerl the book when I hall found it
Anti zlippeil my pen in the well.
Then, I thought to myself, HH0w was it?"
With a sense of inward pain,
And still 'twas a little floubtfztl,
So I turned to the book again.
This time I relnarhezl, allow easyfv
Als I lnuttererl each letter oler,
But when I got to the inklvell,
'Twas gone, as it went before.
Then I grabbezl that dictionary
Anal I spell its pages through,
.finrl unfler my nose I put it,
With that lloubtful moral in view.
I helzl it clown with my bolly
While I gripperl my pen quite fast,
Anil I howlefl, as I tracezl each letter,
'Clive got you now, AT LASTJH

uflllfl weave rolled old Waco
On the sod, on the sod
Rah! Rah! Rah!
lt was all the nine hundred of Abilene High marching in time
to a now triumphant uSWing.7, First came Mr. Green and Coach,
followed by the band, the team in uniform, the Pep Squad in coats
of gold and black, the scrubs, the student body. Down First Street
to Chestnut, across to Oak, to Pine, to the station, to the Baptist
Church!
Crowds along the wayfand cheers. Abilene had won the
STATE CHAMPIONSHIP!
The Silver Football was hers.
At the church there was a wait while Mr. Henderson, head of
Interscholastic work in Texas, was coming.
The band swung into a march: 4'When Abilene's old men all
fall in linef' Certainly it must have echoed down South First. Cheers
-more music growing into a storm of applause when Henderson ap-
peared. -
In the address which followed, Abilene was given the tribute
due to clean sportsmanship and athletic ideals. At last a package
was held to view and the wrapping removed. Every head bent for-
ward.
It was the silver football, symbol of championship, which had
for three years approached almost within grasp of Abilene High,
then had eluded her eager fingers. On a polished ebony stand it
rested in all shimmering beauty a memento to the year when Hanna,
Bounds, Hembree, Wooten, Rathmell, Wells, Bryan, Stevens, King,
Watson, Brooks, Flesher, and Browne plugged doggedly to victory,
a memory of that last year Coach Shotwell belonged to Abilene
High, more than all an incentive to 'ccarry onw through years to
come toward the goal Abilenels men have set-fair-square ideals,
clean sportsmanship, victory!
THE EAGLES, BANQUET
uThe Eagles swooped down like a wolf on the fold
And devoured the Pep Squad arrayed in black and gold.
Not the real live girls, but the lollipop kind
That marked where they sat when with Judge Caldwell they dined.
It was a memorable feast for the Eagles at Mary Frances Hall
When the fudge and the Cowboys made merry for all."

PRIZE WINNING STORY tif
, by .
P ernelle Samson I,
m
The last day for practice had arrived, Tomorrow the big game was on. Tomorrow at two-
thirty, Weston's players would go on the field to battle for the gridiron championship. For four l'L
long years they had worked, fought, and prayed, this year piling up the highest score in the state, EQ
with their goal line crossed only once. Todayis practice and tomorrow-the agony, the suspense- jf,
all would be over. For several of the fellows this was the last game, and they were determined 53"
to win. lndeed, they must carry .the blue and gold to victoryl
l
The team came early to this last practice. An eager team it was, and in splendid condition- lf,
seemingly. A swift succession of punts and downsg then a puzzled frown darkened the face of
Coach as he watched a tall player across the field-Stanley Garside, wonder right halfback and 1
captain of the team, affectionately dubbed g'Stan,' by his friends and admirers. ln truth, though ,.
still a boy of eighteen, he had scores of ardent admirers and some hero worshippers. "Stan can
do it,', they would say. He could-at least he always had. A bad play from the right halfbackl 4
Another and then another! All during practice Stan had made bad plays. Was he so worried ,'
about tomorrow's game? lt was not like Stan, this nervousness, softness, and the lag in his light- it
ning run. Coach frowned again. What was wrong? Q
fl
There was a whistle, and the players gathered about Coach. He spoke in quiet tones of 41
authority. 4
, l
'Alf every man goes into the game with his mind made up to win, we CAN'T lose."
tj.
He glanced sharply at Stan. and his lips set in a hard line. Those tired eyes and that worn- ffffffg
out look spoke of orders disregarded, late hours. Coach stepped closer and detected a faint 'lqfff
odor of cigarette. He started to speak, then checked himself, The boys were watching him, their jlffffi
Coach-a little fellow-the greatest, the best, the cleanest high-school coach in the state. 1117
"Stan, you may turn in your suit!" he snapped,his brown eyes blazing. "You're not fit to play.
Wleive no place for youf,
Practice started again, leaving Stan on the sidelines in a daze. He made his way blindly
to the hllule Burn." Later. the boys came, but there was not the laughter, yelling, whistling, and
singing that always accompanied the showers and dressing after practice. Instead a strained
silence pervadcd all. f
- In front of Weston High stood Stan's gray roadster, and toward this he directed his steps. I
He crawled in, slumped down in the seat, and set his foot heavily upon the gas. The car shot
out into the lake road at a more than necessary speed and wound through the foothills at an
insane pace, making the last turn towards the big lake, on two wheels. Stan had forgotten the
treacherous sand beds. Mechanically he applied the brakes, the car swerved, plowing headlong
into a roadside bank. Stan stepped out, still dazed, and strode the remaining distance to the lake.
Completely exhausted, he sank down by the wateris edge and buried his bead in his hands. C,
Hours and hours he sat thus. a mocking in his ears:
i'You're not fit to play. We've no place for you."
if
The fellows stood about him, with a look in their eyes, questioning, almost pitying. Coachl
Coachl He could not face the accusing eyes even in thoughtg yet they were there-blazing.
"Stanley," called a soft voice. Why. nobody now ever called him that. "Stanley,,' it came ,,f
again. He looked up into the face of his beautiful mother. That she should see him there-he X,
shuddered. She knelt down by him and placed her arm about his shoulder. What a relief!
"Look, son," she said after a time, pointing out across the water. There before him lay Wes-
ton. She told him of its hopes, its possibilities, its future-an educational center unequaled, a city if

unexcelledg and its shining light was a large. cream-colored building on an attractive campus,
enfolded in clouds of blue and gold, A double sidewalk surrounded the campusg trees and flowers
grew in abundance. Other buildings were on the campus, too. lt must be-of course it was
Weston Highg and those other buildings were the Gym. the Library. and the Manual Training
and Domestic Science Laboratories of which they had tlreained--now a reality. How familiar the
sight, yet one that caused a hurt deep inside. -Xnd this was the school he had deserted.
Not love that? Oh, he did love it. Those colors? He wanted to walk over the water to it
all, crying out that he was not yellow. not a traitor.
The sun was up when he awoke. By degrees he was himself again. What was it-this feeling
of duty? Stan arose and went to his car, bnt to his surprise found a broken axle. For the first
time, he realized the distance that he had made, He must recover that before two-thirty. Would
a lift come?
It came. A shackly old car passed, and he hailed it. Somehow they reached Weston High
just as the one oiclock whistle blew.
At the north door Stan met Coach and grabbed his arm.
i'Coach, you were right to put me out yesterday. I was doing things wrong. Iive changed.
Something has happened to me. Iive got to do my part for Weston High. l owe it to her."
Coach was like a man of stone.
"Coach, I'm out-I know. I'm not asking to be back in. but can't I put on my suit-just this
last time-and sit on the sidelines? lill carry water, do anything just to be there-dressed in the
old colorsefor the old school. Coach, can't l? Coach, you don't know what it'll mean. Can't
I, Coach? Can't I?', he pleaded.
Coach looked straight at him, then nodded his head.
How slowly those three quarters of the game passed, and the hours and hours long they
had been. The fourth quarter came. Score 0-0. Could Weston do it? Stan had torn up the
ground where he sat, and had almost gritted his teeth out, More than he had ever done, he fer-
vently prayed.
At that moment the reserve right halflmaek was knocked out. ,Xlready the team had begun
to weaken. Would Weston fail? Stan sprang to the little man.
'LCoach, hels hurtl Let me in!"
A few seconds passed.
'ACoach, welve got to do it. It's my team. They trust me. I can do more with them, tired as
they are, than anybody else. Coach, for Gods sake let me in!"
Silence.
"You canit say no. I've got to! You've got to send somebody ing they're waiting on you.
We can do it."
UGO on. Report to the referee."
Had a miracle happened? From where did the team's new strength come? The spectators went
mad. In a trance Stan heard strange signals faintly reaching his ear. From instinct only, he
caught the ball and plunged forward. When he got his breath again. signals were being called.
Again he caught the ball, and was nailed to the ground with a short gain. More signals, He was
up running for the goal, something drawing him on. He plunged across.
After a time he felt himself being raised in the air. In the arms of his laughing. crying, and
shouting team he was paraded over the field. When he was lowered to the ground, a hand gripped
his. It was that of Coach.

THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE
A poor little freshman prepared to climb a tree,
He opeld his eyes to see what he could see.
On one high limb an English book dangled,
"What,s that?" quoth he. afust something new fangled-
I think Iall leave that outf,
So he started to climb on the other side,
A slim little algebra book, he saw with pride,
Thinking, 'cThat I can managen, but when xls and yls began hitting
not light,
He picked up his dinner pail and began his wild flight,
Saying, HI think I'll leave that outf,
From the tree of knowledge, he fled to an apple tree,
He picked up an apple, he mastered it well,
Thought he, "Why not follow the example of Adam and Eve
And let the tree of knowledge go to --ug
fThat last thought he should have left outf.
For the same thought he voiced to his Ma,
Who got a switch from the same apple tree, and told Pa.
Too late he saw his folly, but the pain he felt,
The next time he found himself at the tree of knowledge, he helt
And didn't leave nothin, out.

The sun that brief February day,

Alas, faithful one, she was snowboundf

GEMS FROM THE PEN OF
HERBERT RUINJT LEDGE S O UTH WORTH
TO A MOUSE
There once was a mouse of adventurous mien.
All day he had gone without fat or lean,
And in the wee small hours of the night
While he was wandering o'er all the house,
High on a shelf he looked at a sight-
A sight most wondrous for a mouse.
Now this precious object-namely, a cheese,
Which every mouse thinks is quite the beeis knees
Had fallen from a shelf and now lay in a bookg
This marked the end of the poor mousels luck.
On the book was marked the single name Burnsg
But, as I may say, all that a mouse learns
s
Is "Eat, drink, and be merry, do just as you please,
For who knows but tomorrow they'll stop making ch
Because of this the mouse couldn't tell
That on the page where the old cheese fell
Was written that poem now known to fame.
"For a' That, an' al That" is its name.
Since virtuous in all respects was the mouse,
He decided to take some cheese to his spouse.
He looked about for a bit of paper,
And into his eyes grew the desire for a caper.
He tore from the book the sheet of the poem,
Wrapped up the package, and started for home.
But ere he reached his mansion bright,
Into the day had faded the night.
" 'Tis breakfast time," said he with a grin,
As he busily stuffed the old cheese in.
Now this greedy mouse was in such a hurry to eat,
Cheese and paper went down in a manner not neat.
It made him sick, and for three long days
He could utter but this one short phrase:
4'Gnaw that, gnaw that, gnaw that, gnaw that,
Gnaw that, gnaw that, gnaw that, gnaw thatll'

A TALL LIVER Story or HOW TONs Fell
Herbert Rutledge Southworth
Once upon a time there was a boy named Lee Mac JONES. He was descended from two
KINGS. His great-grandfather was it COOPER, and his grandfather was a WAGONNER. He
was born at Stratford-on-aVON, but his father had later moved to AUSTIN, Texas, but then re'
moved to BRAZIL. -
There were three little boys who lived near him. One was ,IACK'S SON, another was JOHN'S
SON, and the last one was STEPHEN,S SON. They could not talk very plaing and when they
wanted Lee, they would say, "MA, CALL LEE," und when they got angry at any one they would
say, MMA KILL ROY."
Lee was a very strong boy, and he could carry a HOD ,IUSt like a man. He was also very
fond of animals. One day after he and his father had crossed many BROOKS, had gone down
many LANES, and gone over many HEATHs, his father, a MILLER, who had been in COXey's
army said, "See the RAM SEE it, son?" It is called GIP, SON.
The boy did not like the ramsg so he turned his head beHIND. Seeing neither STAG NOR
any other animal, except 11 lamb, he went to the lamb. HMY LAMB," he said as he petted it.
"BAA Baaf' said the lamb.
He then adVANCEd to the HANDY man, HAM ELTON, who was sawing WOOD. "Are
the LOGS DONE?" he asked. '
'4Yes, but I donft think I shall finish those ASH logsf, he said. "These AXES are so dull.
I shall probably have to WHITTLE them away. lf I do finish them, I shall feel like a NEW MAN."
Lee was a very sharp boy, and when he looked at the axes they became sharp. He handed one
of them to the man, who said, 'SNOW it CUTS. MAN. You did just what a good BOY'UD do."
As he was walking down the road, he met a man HAULING SHEDS. The man handed a
petition to the boy, who looked to see the names on it. There were NONE, and for this reason
the boy would SIGN OR do any things else. He thought there was MORE GAIN in not doing so.
He went to his LARGE HOMES, He had two homes. In one of them his grandmother, who
was a NOBLE lady, livedg in the other lived his mother. It was a WOODEN house painted
WHITE and BROWN. Lee spent most of his spare time at the MILL HARD by.
He knew that he was late to dinner, for he had heard the BELL. He sneaked past the BUT-
LER and sat down at the table. The COOK was sick, and his mother was serving a steaming dish.
'LIS it BACON ?7' he asked, 4iHOW'S that? OH LIVER. You know I donit like liver, especially
if you FRY it.',
His mother made him eat it. He was afraid to protest, for he had seen her WRATH MILL

before. It made him so sick that he had to stay in bed awhile. Then he went out into the yard where
his YOUNG mule was. The mule was CALLED WELL. Lee went to see the PARSON'S daugh-
ter, RUTH, who was a very pretty girl and had some beautiful LOCKS. The parson was a very
studious man, and had written a book entitled l'What is the SOUTH WORTH-an Accurate Ac-
count of it GINNINGSY'
Ruth did want to ride the mule, but when Lee told her that a mule PACKS TONs she con-
sented to ride it. When she had mounted it, the mule got LOOSE in the FIELDS.
'LTURN HER, turn her,', he cried.
"HOW? LET me know," said the girl as she fell into the MUD. '
'GHOW HARD the ground is" said the poor girl, "Co and get one of my KIN, SIR Kade, the
CARPENTER, to help you."
Then Lee went to her KIN, KADE, the carpenter, and told him to build him a cart. When
it was finished, the boy asked the PRICE
" Five billion rubles," answered Sir Kade.
"Great SCOTT! I have only two NICKLESY said the boy, as he grabbed the cart and ran
away. He went to get his sister RAY, while Sir Kade pursued.
Lee and his sister tried to raise the unconscious girl, but she was too heavy. They just about
GAVE IN. With all their POWERS, they could not budge her.
"If we wilL EACH do our share, it will be all right. MY, AT this rate we'll never WIN.
SET her down againfl said the boy. "Look, her HAIR IS white, it must have scared her to deathfl
He caught the mule and, with its aid, raised the girl. NLASS, SET HER down easily," he
said, and when this was done, he cried, "HAIL, HAIL!"
He had rejoiced too soon, for the carpenter was fast approaching. Lee began to CART HER
and run as fast as he could. They soon came to a strange land. He felt his ELESH OR his
bones quiver and rattle. He had a LIGHTFOOT, and his knees ran away in a SHAY. 'iHANs off!
HEY, KNEE," he said, but his HEYS were of no avail.
There were strange animals all around, MGRR-IF-A THE little boy-fi They heard no more,
they ran so fast. uLook at the CROW, LEEg and what are those, MAC, GUINEAs? They have
HORNS BY their heads. And look at that 'WIIIZZING ANT with a TAIL, OR are those legs?
Look at the HAWK INSide of the cloud," said his sister as she rattled on.
There was a strange stream near them. Lee stood listening to the murMUR. RAY was look-
ing at the TROUT, digging GRAVES in the creek BED. FORDs were carrying away the gravel.
There was 'a HERB AND a GREEN WOOD nearby.
A little farther down the stream, Lee caught a fish without a GILL. BREATHing was a hard

process for him. Also the fish was without a FIN. BERGs were floating around in the BOG OR
something nearby.
Lee fell into the creek and caught 3 cold. "JN FREEZET' asked his sister. "Believe me,
you had better get rid of that COUGH, MAN."
They soon became hungry, and Mac gave Ray a half of a stick of colored dynamite to chew
on. f6But, Mac," said Ray, "I want it entire, MAC, ENTIRE? Mac refused to do this, and she
blew up.
Soon they came to the SuDAN. HER eyes spied a flag in the distance. As they approached,
they found that it was flying over a pirates' cave, The pirates laughed at the boy because he
had SOOT ON his face, BLACK BURNed cork on his hands, and gREASE on his trousers.
Sal, the chief, was playing a GUITAR, while the DRUM MAN was playing a WOOD DRUM.
On their heads the pirates wore large HOODS. PATHS led from all directions to the wateris
edge, where there were many BRIGS. Pirates were mending the broken REEFS.
They made the boy High Lord CHAMBERlain, and his work PRESSED ON him heavily. The
pirates would always drink very much RUM 'F they could get it. Every day Lee had to make some
BREW. "ST1R it well and then let it set," were his orders.
Whenever he ate an apple, they would say, "Give me the CORE, LEE." Every morning it
was, "Get the BROOM, LEE," and in the evening, they would say, "Get the pipe and the STEM,
SON." Then he would go and get a light and the chief would ask him, "How many WATTS, SON ?"
If it were not exactly RIGHT he would have to go and get another. When this was done and
had MAC DONE ALL his work, he could go to bed. But when he asked the pirates whether he
could go home or not they would answer, " 'S WHEN SON T'
Ruth had, meanwhile, regained consciousness, hut she and Lee had a quarrel, and Lee was
again a FREEMAN. One day they would have tears and the next DAY FUSS. The pirates teased
Lee about this and they would often say, "Where is your LASS, LEE?" Then Lee would say,
'LL ,US BE friends, l did not mean to RILE YE." But it was of no avail. Finally he made the
best of it and shouted, "METHUSElah, but it feels good to be FREE!
The town of Burtsl lay near byg and since their food supply was running low, the pirates
decided to ROB BURTS of its bank BONDs and then buy food. They told LEE to ROB BINS
of the corn but he refused.
When the pirates were gone, Lee went up the mountain sideg but he soon returned, for he
had seen Sir Kade and some of his friends. "l'lOYl" he cried to Ruth and Ray, i'Let's hurry up the
hill before he sees us."
They were too late, he saw IHERI. BREEzes were blowing so hard, that they could hardly
stand up. "My, look at that MOB, LEE!" cried Ray.
4'Hey, SAL YER birds have flown the coop," sang the parrot outside the cave.
They were now going up a steep cliff which extended farther than they could see. Ruth had

her arms around Lee's neck and had already caused him to fall many times, but by luck he saved
himself. Again he slipped and was hanging by a root which was gradually slipping.
NCLING MANW said his sister, but it was useless. Down through space he fell. He hit the
ground with a thud. Ruth fell on top of him. He heard a rushing of feet and his mother spoke
to him.
'ALee Mac JONES, get up from that floor. How did you ever happen to fall out of hed with
all that cover on top of you?"
MORAL-If your girl is a detriment to you, cast her off before she pulls you down.
DUSK OF DAY
Herbert Rutledge Southworth
Dusk is falling, blood red is the western sky,
Save where pierced by a long spear shaft of blue.
Floating in the fleecy blue,
Are the phantom memories.
Rushing madly, my life passes before meg
Faces long forgotten I see,
Things long gone from my life.
Then, as the drowning man clutches at a straw,
Vainly I strive for a moment to reach them.
And, as I ponder,
Into the distance fades the blue
As out of my life go the memories forever.
Dusk has fallen, dull pink is the western sky.
LONG LIVE SOIVINAMBULISM
0 Conan Doyle may tell you of the spooks that walk at night,
And you may judge for yourself whether he's wrong or right,
But if you want to see a most amazing sight,
fust watch the traok men at A. H. S. wear pajamas in broad daylight.

A half decade ago, West Texas was the Southwest's last frontier. Today, if
West Texas is beginning to come into her own. Rich in present and prospective
possibilities, rich in soil, rich in climate, and above and beyond all else, rich
in the sturdy Anglo-Saxonism of her people, West Texas is fast developing
into one of Americais finest empires.
It has ever been an easy task for promoters, enthusiastic chamber of com-
merce secretaries and native sons to talk in attractive-but vague!-generalities
about "God's Country," whether their subject was a bleak New England
mountainside, or subterranean Florida real estate or waste lands beyond the
Rockies.
West Texas lays claim to no especial divine favors. She points, merely,
to her ranges, from which come the world's standards for cattle. She points
to the long tiers of her counties which produce a substantial portion of the
world's cotton supply in freedom from the boll weevil menace. She points
to her great farms, her magnificient wheat fields, her record as a kaffir and
milo producer. She points to the huge bank deposits of her citizens, and, be-
cause she has a sense of humor, she reads to you the fascinating fiction of a
score of different "Gods Countriesw within the borders of these United States,
while pointing to the flood of erstwhile inhabitants they each contribute
monthly to the swelling W'est Texas population.
West Texas points to her steadily multiplying new industries and to that
trinity which attracts them-desirable land at reasonable purchase, abundant
power at reasonable cost and superior labor at reasonable price,
West Texas points to her reputation for hospitality, for proving herself
and for carrying on.
And finally, with her proudest flourish, West Texas points
to the fact that she has macle "Going Westv worth while

Milo err is humang to forgive divinef, If we have been human,
we trust that you will be as divine as We have been otherwise.
If you like any particular part of this book, bestow the praise
where it belongs, that is, upon the editor in charge of that particular
partg if you dislike any part, cuss the Editor-in-Chief. Too much
credit cannot be given to the Business Manager and his staff. They
have handled the financial affairs very creditably and have accum-
ulated the money which has made the publication of this book pos-
sible. To Emmett Bryan, head of the art staff, goes the credit of
having Worked faithfully, having made the book attractive from the
standpoint of beauty, and having saved more money on art work
than any previous artist. Besides the regular members of the staff,
we are deeply indebted to Francis Finberg, Will Henry Haney,
Francis Fry, Opal Roberts, Vernelle Stimson, Herbert Southworth,
Eula Belle Wihittle, lloberta Turner, Dolly Louise Chambers, Her-
man Corley, Josephine Gavin, Evalyn Swenson, William Swenson,
Elbert Lasseter, Mrs. Smith, Miss Cristopher, Mrs. Norwood, and
Miss Weaver for their faithful work and co-operation in editing this
volume of the FLASHLIGHT.
l do not wish to take advantage of this space to give vent to the
time-worn and stereotyped laments of an editor. I have not burned
a tremendous amount of midnight oil, neither have l grown gray
nor torn my hair in anguish of worry. Of course it has necessi-
tated some work, but I am still alive and am threatening to pass in
some of my scholastic work.
At last the printers seemingly insatiable thirst for copy has been
satisfied, and all we have to do is wait a few weeks for the finished
product. We have tried to present to you in the form of a history the
accomplishments of the School of l924g this has been comparatively
easy, for she has accomplished much. How well we have done this,
you may judge for yourself. The time has come to part, and it is with
mingled regret and relief that l put away the battered old type-
writer and submit this, the last sheet of copy, to the printer, trust-
ing that you will peruse the book with pleasure and point with pride
in later years to l92l, the greatest year in the history of the greatest
of all schools, Abilene High School.
