Text from Pages 1 - 92 of the 1920 volume:

 FOREWORD After three years of voluntary silence on account of the war conditions, the Ba-shaba is again presented to you with its message of the school year. We, the Editors, are more than grateful to the business men of Ennis for the financial aid given us, and to the high school pupils for their splendid co-operation in making the Annual possible. We hope that these pages will, in years to come, be the means of reviving memories of friends, associates and happy school days. If this, our aim, is accomplished we will feel that our work has not been in vain. d E N N I •---------- H I 0) D H 5 C H □ □ L L .... • =]eiBOARD OF EDITORS Editor in Chief Ruhr Wheeler (1) Business Manager Rogers Parks (2) ASSOCIATE EDITORS Fred Clark (10) Fay Rawlins (22) Pauline Fountain (11) Gano Winter (23) Crawford MeMarray (21) Jessie Harper (17) Dorthy Dunkerley (9) Taft Lyon (20) Roller McMurray (3) ASSISTANT MANAGERS Allen Chandler (12) Winnie Lee Foster (l(i) Aubrey Gooch (5) Kathryn Shipp (4) Gladys Champion (7) Harry Porter (6) Margaret Atwood (19) Raymond Telfair (14) STAFF ARTISTS Olin Brown (18) Ruth Robbins (8) Walter Adams (13) Victor Stapleton (15) (2) 5 ENNIS H 1 D H C H □ □ L Aw Q-fcW S' TO'rrv “ S Vvx vC •DEDICATION In appreciation of his eleven years of work among us, in remembrance of this, his last year with us, and as a token of our gratitude to him for the efforts he has put forth in making us fit for the great struggle that is to come, we, the Annual Staff,respectfully dedicate this fourth volume of our Ba-shaba to J.

On the morning cf September eighth,nineteen hundred nineteen, we went to the wharf accompanied by many friends and relatives. There we found our ship, the “Study ’ peacefully riding at anchor in the morning breeze. After bidding our friends farewell we boarded the ship, captained by Capt. Coghlan, a tall fellow with a pleasant appearance. The gangplank was lifted promptly at nine o'clock and the anchor hoisted. We wore off—for such provinces as Englishland. Math, Latina. Physicsland and others. After being out at sea, in more ways than one. Captain Coghlan mounted the bridge, put his hands in his coat pockets in his characteristic way and announced to us that he had secured the services of a competent corps of tourist guides who would show us thru the various states we were to visit. These guides had been thru these states many times and felt quite at home in them, consequently, they made excellent guides as was later shown. After sailing for three or four days wre came in sight of the land of Education. Then after skirting the shores a day or so more in search of a good harbor, we put in at a port in the state of Englishland. Our guide in the slate of Englishland w as a fellow named Armstrong who was very likeable. His besetting sin was his high temper. A-moung our goodly number was a certain fellow' named Wade, better known as Buck. He took special delight in asking questions in regard to some subject that had been repeatedly explained; then Armstrong’s temper would let go and we would duck for cover until the storm blew over. Nevertheless, the were many and we became quite familiar with towns, from the oldest. Chaucer, Bunyan and Noyes, a young member of the royal court in days to come. Wo, after leaving Englishland next visited the state of Math. This was a very peculiar state, all the city being arranged in a strictly geometrical manner. We visited the city of Solid Geometry which was built very much like that of Plane Geometry where w'e visited on a former tour It was in the latter city that we saw the public square that is so famous in history. This square is exactly equal in area to the sum of the areas of tw’o other minor public squares constructed by the Lord-Mayor of the city; Pythagoras by name. Our guide here was named Worrill and was, as a rule, very jolly and good natured. He took things as they came and never worried about the future. We stayed in the city of Solid Geometry only a little while and soon went into the city of Trig, guided here as in Solid Geometry by Worrill. In the city of Trig many got lost from the rest of the party in the maze of streets which were hopelessly tangled. After much searching the missing ones were found and we lo't Trig and the state of Math to visit Historyland. We boarded our ship and sailed a day or so before coming in sight of the state of Historyland. When we reached th state, we again left the ship, this time guided by a tall quiet looking fellow named Turner. As was later found. Turner was not so quiet as you might think, for when Ross, one of our number, would talk to Chandler and distract his attention. Turner would usually read the riot-act to him. Then for an hour or so. he would be quiet, but after that time had expired, he was at his tricks again. The first cities visited in the state of Historyland were some that formed a union, which called themselves the United States, although they were only cities. We found these cities to be inhabited by a c lass of people who had high ideals of personal freedom and it was as much as one’s life was worth to interfere with any of them. They had numerous wars over this question, among them being against a certain king named George III. He found as a result, of his meddling, that it was best to leave the people of these cities alone, absolutely. In spite of these people’s tempers, which made you feel as if you were treading on eggs. w e learned to enjov their recitations of their experiences. We left the cities of the Union to visit the city of Civics w'hich we had heard was quite interesting. After having learned much, with Turner .as our guide still, we found tlmse people to bo of the same spirit as those of the « ties above mentioned. About the only uiffertnce between them was the fad or hobby ot organization in this state. Everyone belonged to two organizations at least and some belonged to as many as five or six. Our guide seemed very familiar with these places and made his explanations very clear. Being pressed for time, we very hurriedly went thru this city in order to make our journey on schedule time. The next twro states visited w’ere those of Latina and Physicsland. , a . Those enjoying antiques and the like visited Latina and reported having seen old Roman weapons and many other relics. They also reported having seen buildings built by Caeser and Virgil as well as others by other famous men. The guide thru this state was a droll fellow named Hubbard. In spite of h s droll and quiet character, lie was rumored to be a very strict, not to say harsh, fellow when tourists did not pay attention to him. The last state visited was that of Physicsland as above stated. The guide here w as a tall hungry-looklng fellow named Camp. His outstanding characteristics were his length and lack of patience with Wade and McMurray. These two kept up a continual chat ter during explanations and consequently Wade, the duller of the two, did not understand much about the cities visited The cities visited here 'vere those of Force. Lightvale, otirdvflie and Electrlciton, we getting many physical as well as mental, shocks there. We then boarded our ship, and set sail for home, arriving May 2S j rroWN 1920 LI E N N I BE- - ■ ■== H I H □ □Cf)r Juniors NAME MOST STRIKING ( HARA( teristic favorite pastime AMBITION Berniece Kay Seriousness Being with Juanita It’s lacking Olive Owens Open mouth Drinking sodapop To get enough Leonard Holloway Grin Grinning To be a Chauffeur Marie Palachek Silence Being serious To be a good housekeeper Norris Lipscomb “Gorgeous” looks Doing society To teach dancing Katherine Telfair Modest y Pleasing others To go to Florida Willie B.

He slapped at the senior, With a kind hearted stroke, But the senior passed on And never even spoke. At the high-toned senior The freshman did stare, But the senior went his way Like a multi-millionaire. ‘‘Now brace ur . little freshman, And don’t you be shy, For yon 11 he a senior bye and bye.” The freshman will climb 1'pon the top shelf. And the reason I know, I'm a freshman, myself. The freshman will climb— Just yon wait and see. And in three years more. What a senior class we’ll be. —TEAT TOLA It. (421Rogers Parks, Capt.

Or whence the nerveless tremble of thy hands, Which says thou ’rt very sick but not so sad: Advises you to go to foreign lands? Whence comes the sheepish look, That tells of wrong things you have done or said. Or of neglect of duties and of book phat says that you had rather now be dead I know.
