Us i me 1 SECOND FLOOR CORRIDOR The third year at Forest was still more successful. The year began with an en- rollment of nine hundred and seventy-one students. The school was closed awhile during the fall of 1918 on account of an epidemic of influenza. The Standard De- bating Society was organized January 1, 1919. This club is a splendid organization and has continued to increase and improve until now it is the leading literary society of the Dallas High Schools. Great improvement was shown in athletics over the records of preceding years. Earle Wilson and Adolph Marder took their niche in the athletic hall of fame. , The year of 1919-20 was a most successful one. State championships were won in basketball and track, thus making Forest well known throughout the state. City honors were won in declamation and debating, and in the city interscholastic tennis tournament. In the lifth year there was an enrollment of fifteen hundred and eighty-five students, a marked increase over the first year. Mr. E. B. Cauthorn, our beloved and faithful principal, accepted a position in a large business firm, and was succeeded by Mr. Wylie A. Parker, former principal of Colonial Hill School, and a former teacher of both Bryan Street High School and Forest Avenue High School. The teachers and pupils were sorry to lose Mr. Cauthorn, but they cordially welcomed Mr. Parker Page 'Twelve l ID
