The Forester of ' 21 ran a close second in size to the publication of the previous year. Containing 1 84 pages, the book was edited by Thomas Holloway, Jr., editor, and C. O. Gill, manager. Mr. Parker, the new principal of a year, received the annual ' s dedi- cation. The Home Economics sec- tion was one of the better features. Of interest to all the girls was Ihe recipe for preserving a husband. Somewhat a novelty at Forest, the swimming club, organized in April, drew as many as fifty or more Foresters on a warm afternoon. This was also the year that Forest won the district championship in tennis. C oMed m Page Twenty

acdditif Spanish students earnestly study their verbs in Miss Wickham ' s class. The four-year course in Spanish stimu- lates on interest in Lotin-America. French, the other mod- ern language taught in Forest, may be taken for three years. French classes enliven the study by means of gomes, parties, stories, and songs. Four years of Latin, the mother tongue, include Caesar ' s Commentaries, Cicero, and Virgil. Leff to R g if THATCHER, BESS History U. of Texas, 8. A., MA. Texos History Club, Sponsor USRY, J. T.

The publication of the Forester in ' 22 was in reality somewhat of an ac- complishment. As the editors put it, times have been hard, interest low, and the necessity of a publication has been questioned by various sources. The completed result of their efforts certainly justified the advice Never give up. Smythe Lindsay, editor, and Howard A. Keller, manager, were in charge of this Forester, which was dedi- cated to Henry L. Goerner. With a forest in cool greens as a background for Foresters with flying colors, the Seniors ' indi- vidual pictures were shown to good advantage. Captains R. M. Fitzpatrick and A. C. Burnett were in charge of the military department. The lion is certainly king of the for- est. At least this was true where the 1923 Forester was concerned. In the sectional divisions of the annual vari- ous sized lions amused themselves. Edited by Tom Kleinman and Guy Draughon, the Forester was dedicated to A. J. Loos the scholar, the athlete, the man. In this annual of ' 23 the athletic section featured the fact that Forest had won the city track meet. In the four previous years, since the meet has been held. Forest had come out second, but this year the vjctorious Lions added another glory to our growing list. That was the year that Miss Harriet McClellan, Faculty Adviser of the For- ester of ' 24, received the annual dedi- cation. Willard Barr, editor, and Ed- win Ernest, business manager, shared honors of the publication. Again a class president captured a place in the Forester Favorite section. John Estes, who had the honor and responsibility of guiding a class through their last year, was also elected most popular boy. For the second time consecutively, Forest won the A.A.U. State High School Championship by defeating Central High of Fort Worth in the final encounter. The girls ' gym department presented a demonstration, The Signs of the Times, and linked together all gymnasium activities. Page Twenty-one
