W. I l 1 r l SECOND FLOOR CORRIDOR the school had put out, the athletic season was very successful. Two new societies were formed this year: the Forest Avenue High School Literary Society and El Circulo Espanol. Here we must pay tribute to the fine spirit shown by Forest students during the VVorld War. In 1918 there Was an enrollment of 971 pupils. The school doors were closed for a short period in the fall, due to an influenza epidemic. In January, 1919, the Standard Debating Society, one of our outstanding clubs at present, Was organized. ln the future this society was to make a great name for itself in Dallas and North Texas. Great improvement was shown in athletics, and Earle Wilson and Adolph Marder brought honor to the school in track. The fourth year was most successful and brilliant. Forest became known throughout Texas when state championships were won in basketball and track. City honors were won in declamation and debating, and in the city interschol- astic tennis tournament. Fine showings were made in the scholarship assemblies of the school during this year. In 1920 there was an enrollment of 1585 pupils, an increase of 120 per cent over the first year. Our beloved and faithful principal, Mr. B. Cau- thorn, 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 at both Bryan Street and Forest Avenue High Schools. The teachers and pupils were sorry to lose Mr. Cauthorn, but soon learned to love Mr. Parker, who has Won a place in the heart of every Forester. The baseball team did the best Work of any of our baseball teams so far, and the track team Won many honors in the city and district meets. Earle Wilson was the bright light of the mf . . - a a aa J.. . , 2

They lost ll 1 only two games during the entire season. This year the enrollment reached ,W ,N i 1592 pupils. The Golf Club was organized and made a good record. The ,, debating and declamation teams did splendidly. Mr. Parker went to Cincin- 3,1 l nati to represent Forest at the National Fducational Association, which met to ,N discuss educational problems in the high schools. The baseball team won the l ' city championship, and the track and relay, and basketball teams did fine work. lg, 1 No school could have begun a year more gloriously than did Forest in 1925. ,N 3 l 1, For the first time in the history of the school the football team won the city I lf championship and the district championship, and lost only the final game for the W 1 State championship. The Journalism Classes won the Journal Jr. Cup at the li l X 1 State Fair, and the R. O. T. C. Band, under the leadership of Walter Ewell, , il l won the Sousa Cup. The basketball team was delayed in starting practice, due to i' Y 1 ,N the prolonged football season, but showed up unusually well. ,N 1 ,l, During the years of Forest Avenue High Schoolls existence the school has , , ' li stood for the highest ideals in every Held of activity, from athletics to scholar- ll' 3,, ship. VVhether winning or losing, the students have proved loyal on every tl, xl occasion, and never has the Green and VVhite gone down in the dust in the hearts X ' of the students. By this spirit Forest has Won a great name for itself, not only in il , Dallas but in this and other states. We hope that in the future the school will '12, l 1 keep up the good work that has been started and carried out for the past years. , 9 ix 1 it . 2 , l ig l 1 s Il , l 33 A-J.
