PERISCOPE 14 Grant Hooker Patterson Senior (Class ®istim) It hardly seems four long years since we, the present senior class, spoilt our first (lay in Dallas High, does it? I shall not say that we were green, for of course we really weren’t. Perhaps we did make a few mistakes, hut who wouldn’t? We are still quite sure, however, that more fun was made of us and that we were teased more thifn any other class has been teased in history. A It ho our activities during our freshman year were not at all startling, we had many good times, most of which we owed to our teacher. Miss Leone Williams. By the time we reached our sophomore year, the upper classmen began to respect us moie. It was in the early part of that year that we gave the sophomore-freshman i coopt ion, which proved to he only t he first of a series of successful events in our career. Tho we did not attempt to give any plays during these first two years, we showed what we could do in the remaining years. Our junior year stands out as one of our busiest and best. We felt especially proud of our first play, which was given in that year. Surely everyone remembers the “Little (’lodhopper ’ Later in the spring we gave the customary junior-senior reception. This year our numbers have been greatly decreased. Nevertheless, we started the year right by choosing Mr. Coleman as class advisor; Ilalden Grant, president; Eugene Hooker, vice-president: and Alice Patterson, secretary and treasurer. We have been well represented in all of the school activities and a number of senior boys helped compose our famous basketball team. All year our representatives on the Periscope staff worked hard to make the paper as much of a success as it has always been before. Tho we have been exceedingly busy this year, we have not been too busy to give the class play, ‘ Safety First,” which we consider the most notable success of all. As we look back over high school days we find that only the pleasanter memories have stayed with us. and these are the memories which we will always carry with us. We hope that the classes to come will find at least a little good in the examples we have tried to set. A. P. ’28.

13 PERISCOPE Senior (Onflunk Hooker is a studious youth, He’s full of vim and vigor; And Fletcher’s hair is curly— Looks something like a nigger. Phyllis is a pretty name, Nothing in it—much, Boots, who runs around with her, Alway gets himself in Dutch. Abe is an entertainer, He sings aloud at study; While Betty’s always on the move— Takes no sass from anybody. Lynne is editor of the paper. Which is called The Periscope. Barbara. Madeline and Alice Will always live in hope. Myrtle, Vurty and Lillie Are, all three, very shy; While George, Mildred and Ruby Do everything on the sly. There's John, Walt and Albert, The last two are brothers; And from the way they act They must never mind their mothers. Next comes Mary, Harry and Lewis, They are what you might call queer; But when you happen to think of it What would we do if they weren’t here? Last are Vernon, lone and Wendell, They are seniors, thru and thru. We know nothing bad about them But their good points are not few. I have tiied to portray them Each one as they might be. But the best way to get acquainted Is to meet tbe class of ’23.
