Mcuf, ' Jfl GlaU September rolled around and wc were seniors at last! Of course we weren ' t the very highest, but we were 4B ' s, and didn ' t we feel important, though? We knew that since this was Forest ' s 25th anniversary year there would be more entertainments and good times. We also realized that the responsibilities would be greater; so we elected Cl-.arles Mozingo, Irving Wisdom, and Doris Kinnard, president, vice-president and secretary, and Miss Drake our sponsor ... At our meetings every other Wednesday morning we planned two sport dances, one given the evening of December 20, and the other January 10, honoring the 4A ' s ... By then it was time to start thinking seriously of our own 4A term. In January we elected Gene Yungfleisch, Fred Barshop, and Bettye Raiden to lead us during the Spring semester. Important decisions were made at the class meetings every Wednesday. We chose royal blue and gold as our class colors, we decided to have a three-fold invitalion, and Temple Emanuel was selected as the place to have our Baccalaureate services ... An informal dance with Bill Ware ' s orchestra on February 28, a very successful matinee dance, March 20, a dance in the gym climaxing the Jubilee celebration May 1, and the Junior-Senior Prom, May 9, given with the 3A class, were our most important activities as 4A ' s . . . Today is Senior Day and our days in Forest are nearly over. We have the Senior play, Girl Shy, and our sunrise breakfast yet to come; then — graduation ... To the members of the faculty, we leave our deepest appreciation for their help in guiding us during our high schofal career ... To Miss Drake especially we say a sincere Thank you for her f tje i qnd wisdom in sponsoring us for three years. MISS MARY DRAKE Sponsor BETTYE RAIDEN Secrefor pQQe Twenfy-fwo

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

cuku um f. 42 ClaU We 4B ' s, too, hod been looking forward to Forest ' s anniversary year since we were fish. We planned this year to be a year of activities for our classes. Starting the fall term ofF, we elected Dorothy Lee Farley, Martha Carter, and Evelyn Gilford as president, vice-president, and secretary, respectively, of our 3A class. Mr. Ford was re-elected as sponsor . . . Good programs drew a great number of 3A ' s to our class meetings. Thus encouraged, we decided to have several entertainments for the class. These included skating parties and picnics . . . At midterm, after struggling through exam week, we suddenly found ourselves seniors — or most of us did, anyway. After deep thought we elected those students whom we believed to be the most efficient to lead us the rest of the year. They were Allie Jean Combs, Jarrell Rubinette, and Norman Levin ... On March 21, we gave a sport dance at night that was one of the best dances of the season. The music was swell (furnished by records) and everyone who came had a good time . . . Since we were seniors, we met every Wednesday morning in room 202, and at our meetings we discussed a 4B dinner. It was decided to have it at the El Fenix Cafe. At the May Festival we had a musical and quiz program for our concession in room 108 .. . Now we will soon be proud 4A ' s. We have just com- pleted a successful year, and we have one more term in which to add to our activities and merits. Here ' s hoping that with the help of Mr. Ford we may make our last term the best.
