BERNICE GHOLSON, Secretary-Treasurer On a beautiful September day in the year of '24, thirteen frisky Freshmen were ushered into the high school study hall. During our Freshman year we worked to do our best. One of our classmates won Senior spelling in the Interscholastic League meet; two of our classmates played on the volley-ball team which went to district; and some of our boys played football so well that they became known as very wild Wildcats. Our first year in high school with our dear teachers; Supt. W. S. Wilson, Miss Florence Conner, Miss Era Jackson, and Mr. Bill Cooper, was really a success The second year of our high school days was marked with several changes. Some of our former classmates left us and went to other schools, some left to work, and some, of course, left to change their names. We were also introduced to two teachers, Mrsr O. M. Wylie, and Mr. J. C. Larkin, and a student, Willie Mae Wade, whom we learned to love dearlyl We were industrious Sophs as we had been industrious Freshies. Some of our classmates again became noted for their skill in athletics; the girls in volley-ball and the boys in football. The volley-ball team of '25 won the county championship as the team of '24 had done before them. And the boys became very popular in football and other athletics. During our Junior year we had thirteen members in our class, however, there were changes made from our Sophomore year. Indeed, we were very glad to enlist Eunice Wright, Linnie Reynolds, Charline Kinders, La Verne Sumner, Edd Robertson, Ernest Hull, and Vivian Harmonson, as our classmates; and we were also glad to meet our new teacher, Miss Perry, whom we learned to greatly appreciate. Our class activities were practically the same as those of our Freshman and Sophomore years. however, there were a few changes. One of our classmates went to district in declamation. Our Senior year has been the most successful of all. With the deer faculty which we have had we have been inspired to do something worth while. Our classmates are putting out the first dear little book this school has ever had. We are proud of our work of '27 and '28 and we are also proud of our new classmates, Claudia Lee Deskins, and Flossye Lowden, who have stood by us faithfully in the work of our annual Too, we feel a deep appreciation of Jean, who goes to district in tennis, and who may possibly go to state. Too soon shall we part from those we love so dearly! At the end of this term's work there will be happiness but there will also be tears of sadness for those leaving dear old Archer High. There are in store for us happiness and sadness, smiles and tears; but we shall travel bravely on our way and that way, we are hoping, will lead to future success.

Early in September we met and elected the following officers: Naomi Wells, President; Eugene Fletcher, Vice President; and Opal Davidson, Secretary-Treasurer. We have had our joys and disappointments but we have enjoyed the school year immensely, We have contributed our share to the school life, and although we did not win a place in the popularity contest, we ; intend to be back next year stronger than ever. L We greatly appreciate the much needed counsel given us by our ' class sponsor. Miss Northway, now Mrs, Thurman. We have had several parties and picnics, all of which have helped to build up our class spirit With all things taken together we have had a very eventful year of Which we are very proud However we are planning to have an even more successful year as Juniors of '29 Twentyetwo 1x MVQVPTEWVQ . y w ?wfexexgxae sexixsxef; were 5 hms,w.wsmsxmsww$ xtz .1 w'c maxi...o $ ILDCA 1928 CROSS, WADE, ANDREWS, BAILEY, GAITHER, STURGEON, PIERCE, GARVEY, STRAHAN HERRON LARKIN BACK ROW DONIHO ABERCROMBIE GOWDY, WILSON BRUMLEY EDGE ABERCROMBIE JONES WILSON HARRIS, WRIGHT, THREET, WRIGHT JONES FRONT ROW Coyireshmen On the 5th of September, 1927, a class of twenty-three Freshmen entered high school. We felt rather proud, although the upper classmen stood in the halls and looked haughtily down upon us, as if they thought, itWeII, they are merely Freshies. We started out in the ocean of studies with high ambitions of someday reaching the goal of golden graduation. In some places we found the waves rough and angry but there were also waves of easy sailing. We might have been upicked on as all Freshmen are, but we have tried to do our part and we are proud to say that we fully believe we have succeeded. This year has marked a very good beginning for our high school activities. With Miss Lois Cooper Sponsor; J. C. Straham President; Ova Lee Wilson and Christine Wright Secretary- Treasurer we have been able to accomplish several interesting things. We have enjoyed several little entertainments, some of which were on the Little Wichita Riven We have done much this year for which Freshmen should be proud. t is our greatest ambition to make a good class in each of the following years. We are going to do our best and we feel very sure that we will be successful in having a good Sophomore class in this dear school this coming year.

There are twcnty-four of us in the Junior Class. Most of us have been together since we were mere uFrcshies in school. Our class has always been known as one of the very best classes in the school. We have thus been known for our willingness to take part in all its activities. Freshies usually have a hard time the first year that they are in school, but our Freshman year was quite peaceful. We had our hardships to be sure, but here and there were sources for a great encouragement to do our very best. During our Sophomore year we had many entertainments. We always had good times for we were all willing to do our part in order to make our entertainments successful. As Juniors we are very proud. We try always to be ahead of any other class. In activities, which bring to the winners individual honors as well as class honors, we have been more successful than any other class. This is shown by the way we worked in the Popularity Contest and by the effects of our work. Our class raised more money than any other class. The Juniors have the honor of having a Junior, as Queen, and a Junior as the prettiest girl. We have always had our share of honor in the Interscholastic League meets. One of our girls, Mona Meabon, belonged to the winning debate team of '27. We Juniors have had our representatives in debating teams, volley-ball teams, declamations, spelling, and in other activities relating to progress of the school. Our boys have won honors in track also. During the football seasons we have had strong football players in our class. First they were mere Rookies but now they are becoming regular football heroes. This year the Junior and Senior girls gave the football boys a banquet and a jolly good time was had by all. We have not yet decided just how we are going to entertain the Seniors, but we will give them something, which they will all enjoy and long remember. As Juniors we have had a very successful year, but as Seniors of l29 we anticipate even a greater success. We wish to extend our thanks to our dear teachers of our Junior year for their guidance during this year of hope, of struggle, and of success We fully appreciate their work With our class during this term of school. We also wish to express our best regards for our dear sponsor, Miss Mildred Amett, and hope that she, with the other teachers, will be with us in our Senior year. :1 Twenty-six n.1, quMSKIMMKLW Y,VZ MMMN$K2WW MMJMWWMW' t n 't . x3x2y? s ifNKZXt' ; xww a ti 1x3!

Cowden, honor student of Simmons '23, came to Archer City High School to take charge of the athletics in the fall of 1927. He has been an able and hardaworking coach. The boys all love him and will go all the way with him. From the first day of football practice we knew that we had a man who knew his business and given the proper material he would lead us to victory; while some thought the old A. C. H. St team was hardly up to scratch. Those who know good football recognized that the team was unusually strong for squad of new men and under the direction 01' our good coach played some wonderful football. More than ever the teams have deserved the name of ltWild Cats and this fighting spirit has been instilled and fostered by the coach to whom we give all credit for the honors we have gained and none of the blame for the losses.

Earnest has hnished his four years of football and has fought a good fight, he has strived for the things that all captains should stand for, clean football. Earnest was always ready on the offense to make a mighty hole for his backs to plunge through, His excellent passing and head work has earned a name for him that will go down in football history. Hull's absence will be keenly felt by the squad next year but we are counting on one of the Kittens taking his place although we know it will be hard to do.

The Wildcat eleven were very seriously hit by the absence of many of the veteran stars who appeared in 1926, but the old Eghting spirit that has always been shown by the Wildcats won for them many admirers and victories. The Wildcats went to Olney for their first conference game, but found by the bitter defense of the Olney eleven, that they were unable to score. However they did not take the fighting, scratching, spirit from the boys and they went into their second game with another defeat; but one we shall never be sorry of because it was their hardest fought game of the season, losing to Graham by a. Close score of Geo. Then ,it was when two of our best players were taken from the field during the last few minutes of play. We started in on our third conference game with a determination to win so when the clash first started we scratched through the Zundelowitz line for a decided victory of 2470. r next game was not a conference game but a game we are proud of, when the Wildcats held Junior College for a 1477 defeat, scoring their touch down first.

THREET, guardeGrammar was one that was very unfortunate and who had to leave the battle early in the season on account of injuries. But he is one to put up a good light while on the field of battle It was our next game we got the thrill of our lives by winning over Burkbumett by a score of 7 6. It was in this game that Butter showed his skill at catching a. forward pass and his swift side stepp 11g run that gave us our touch down-the score at this time was 676.1': was then we held our breath and offered a silent prayer for Ben to Hkick that goal and true to his kind, his educated toe reached out and sent the ball twirling over the goal post for the extra point that gave the Bull Dogs their defeat. After the Burk game we had three more games and in these three games we added three more scratches to our belt, winning over Megargel 2676 and Iowa Park 2070, Chillicothe 19701 It was in the last game we saw a. big smile on Coach Cowden's face and we all knew why, because who had he rather scratch than Chillicothe. It was also in this game that our center, Captain Hull. made his first touch down in his four years of football. The Wildcat eleven of 1928 will miss two or three of their veteran stars, but their cry to scratch Olney and scratch them hard is bound to be a winning point in their 1928 season.

M, COWDEN JEAN POWELL MYRTLE WILSON THE 1928 WILDCAT STAFF How happy we were to hear that we could have an annualiand that we should be the ones to do the work for our dear little book! In this little book, the staff members of '28 have tried to so crystalize in ink, all of those little incidents in school life which are so dear to the hearts of the students, that they shall not be forgotten. With Mr. Cowden as our sponsor; Myrtle Wilson, Editor-in-Chief; Ernest Hull, Business Manager; Jean Powell, Assistant-Editor; Mildred Wilcox, Social Editor, and Bernice Gholson, Joke Editor, we have progressed on our book. Though the task may seem small or the burden may seem light, we feel that we have really accom- plished something in putting out our first year book. There were days that were gloomy when we could not make things work ltjust so. But there were also sunny days; for when we were somewhat downhearted and saw only the dark side of things, Mrl Cowden came to our rescue and showed us that even in our cloud there was a silver lining. How we loved to hear those words, t'O, thats going to look well! The staff of '28 wishes to express the greatest of appreciation for Mr. O.
