A. N. MCCALLUM, Superintendent ,e To the Graduates: In the oldest public high school in America, the English High of Boston, there is a statue, the work of Daniel Chester French. This statue portrays a boy going out into the pleasures and responsibilities of life. His face is youthu ful, but on it is the inspiration of hope and ambition. Behind him is the figure of the ufostering mother, his Alma Mater, bearing a shield upon Which are six Words, llBe clean; be courteous; be square.H This she is about to hand to the boy With the hope and expectation that these words Will be his guide all along lifels pathway. Not many weeks hence your Alma Mater Will bestow upon you a diploma, certifying that you have done your work well in the Austin High School. After all the sacrifices of your parents, after years of instruction, all of us have a right to expect you to be citizens of high personal character; that you Will fit into the social order and be of real service to your city and state, that you Will take interest in public affairs, that you Will cultivate the capacity of co-operat- ing With other worthwhile citizens for the public welfare. The Austin High School feels sure that you Will not fail, that in all the fer lationships of life you Will be clean, be courteous, and be square. A. N.

GULLETT, Principal To the Students of Austin High School: In a few brief days the school year of 1927-28 Will have become a part of the glorious traditions of Austin High School. The history we have lived and made this year Will not soon be forgotten, for its impress is on our very souls. We have Worked together, hoped together, striven side by side for a common end, thrilled With a common pride. The bitterness of each defeat or disappointment has been allayed by the consciousness of the complete symg pathy of our fellows. Never have the forces of our school operated in such unison. When, as the occasion arose, you Went alone or With your fellows to repre- sent the old high school, you carried With you the hopes and prayers of us all. Now the time has come when we must send out one of our greatest and most distinguished groups of representatives the Senior Class of 1928 May every one remain unfalteringly loyal to the ideals of Austin High School May you never stoop for Victory nor quit fighting When faced by defeat.

Having expended $650,000 several years ago for the enlarging, remodeling, or refurnishing of every school in the city, the 'board is this year seeking addi- tional funds. for further necessary building.

As usual. we were promptly nicknamed llSlimes, and were the Vic- tims of many jokes played upon us by the upperclassmen. At first, we had considerable difficulty in finding our way about the building; for the old stue dents, very obligingly, told us Where we would find certain rooms, and we were green enough to believe them. However, in a few weeks the greenness wore off, and we could find our way about the building much easier. In the fall of 1925, we resumed our studies in the old building. We stayed there until Thanksgiving, when the High School was transferred to its new location. We followed the usual routine of school life, taking three-weeks tests, getting U-notes, and going to the hospital, for two more years. At last we are Seniors, and very near the end of our public school education. Our hardships have been numerous; but now we have completed our work and are ready to leave Austin High. It is customary for the mid-term class to be small, but the records show, that our class is larger than any of the others of recent yeatS. We have lost many of the original class, but there have been others to take their places. Since our class is a small one it does not have many celebrities. On the football team, our representatives were E. J. Davis, Tom Quinn, Murray Ramsey, and John Winslow. Murray Ramsey, our class president, is also president of the Student Council. Alfred Oliphant is editor of the llComet. Those of our class who have made a high scholastic average are the following: Ray Akin, Evelyn Alff, Buford Buckley, Ann May Kress, Alfred Olfphant, Murray Ramsey, Kenneth Threadgill, and Walker Vaughn. Now, after three years of hard work, we are leaving Austin High to enter higher institutions of learning, or to make our own way through'life. Even though we are very glad that our high school days are over,- there :s'no doubt. that we harbor a few regrets. We have spent many happy days 111 Austln High, and will carry the memories with us for years yet to come. Page 33 ...-' A .4 A A... ytuymxe- W.4k;w,.-.

They were juniors and seniorsl We won tiered deep wrlhm us if we should ever feel as they looked lX c all knew Mr. Ciullett lot our friend because we had had him as principal belore. but he was only our friend. So our first year was also spent in becoming acquainted with customs. teachers. students, and the joys of High School. Our second year was different. We now had smaller youngsters to look down upon. We could talk easily and intelligently With seniors. We boys could go out for all sorts of athletics. and maybe make a team. We girls could go take part in other student activities. To enumerate all would take too long, but I must discuss several. Among our proudest achievements were member- ship; in the Red Jackets. the Students' Council, and the Maroon Band. Then came our last happy days in Austin High. School opened With a bang: Student Council members were elected, Red Jackets donned their unie forms under a new sponsor. boys rushed out to football practice, and class elec- tion was held with the results to be seen on the opposite page. All officers of the Red Jackets are members of this class: President, Mary Helen Caswell: vice-president, Daisy Gilbert: secretary-treasurer, Duella Davis; and yell leaders, Nelle Berwick and Daisy Gilbert. Many girls won the coveted distinction of membership. Members of this class who were officers of the Students Council this year are Bill Guffin. Monitor: Tom Bagby, clerk; Duella Davis, secretary. There were many members of the class in the council. ' XVe have been well represented, too, in various musical and athletic organiza- tions. Many of the class went to Chicago and Wichita Falls With that celed brated band. XVe proudly point to Blake, Jack, Stubby, Ben Lee, Horton, Mele Vin. Otto. Charles. Jimmie, Garrison, J. M., and Hill as our part of the good football team this year, plus Carl, the student manager. Six of our boys claim basketball distinction: Melvin Vernon, Blake Sellars, Ben Lee Chote, Jack Sparks, Carl Bredt, and John Tullis. They were sent to Chicago and there eliminated Englewood High of Chicago. , For the first time Austin High entereEi the one-act play tournanient. The cast chosen to represent us at the district meet in Temple included five seniors. In'other contests, Virginia Irvine Won girls' senior declamation; Kenneth Harper won boysl extemporaneous speaking. Lenore Preece, Elizabeth Braeld field Mary Virginia Bedichek and Ferdi Biesele won flrst places in the Latin Tournament. We are very proud of these. . h Every other Monday this term, Senior meetings have been held: W: have had attractive programs and exciting business.

We soon found out that Mr. Gullett was our captain; Miss Nina, first mate; Miss Fiegel, commodoress; Mrs. Crofoot, bois'n; and Mrs. Pitts, purser. Many of us were seasick when we reached the first port known as USchool End. These, however, went on the excursion called ffSummer School and came back safely to the ship to continue the voyage with the Juniors. A number of the girls were raised to the rank of Red Jackets, and We are proud of them. Several of us have been famous for our all As and for our i D'sf Some of our bright ones are Sarah Bedichek, William Bergman, Cathe erine Butte, Evelyn Calhoun, Irene Comer, Mary Katherine Decherd, Mildred i Gill, Sol Ginsberg, Alan Hamlett, Helen Louise Jarl, Edith Johnston, Alexe ander Louis, Leona McNeely, Sallie Jo McDonald, Annabel Murray! James Ojerholm, Jessie Mary Ramsey, John Stalnaker, Ernestine Tucker; Margaret Louise Warnken, Steve Williams, and Eileen Wilson. We are proud of our representatives to the- Latin Tournament. They were Sarah Bedichek, Irene Corner, and Winifred Young, and they are excellent stu; dents in other subjects as well as in Latin. We are well represented in athletics by Charles Huddl-eston, Drennon Monk, Hal Gallatin, Bob Wier, Vivian Childre, and others. The Juniors also claim members Of the band, glee club, orchestra, public speaking clubs and dramatic clubs as well as of the language and literary clubs.

Dix OTTO RAMSEY Representative Students The Representative Students' Section of the 1928 Comet is an innovation in Austin High School annuals. The selection of the most beautiful and the most popular boy and girl has been discardea for one With a broader scope. In order to qualify as candidates in this election, students must have made passing grades in four or more courses during the past three semesters, and must be active in either club work or other extraI-curricula activities. The signatures of twelve students are sufficient to insure nom- ination, if the candidate fulfills the above-named require ments. In order to poll sufficient votes to be elected, he must, of course, possess that somewhat elusive quality known as personality. Miss Mary Louise Rogers, Mrs. Vida Hall Dunbar, and Miss Lorine Scott passed upon the eligibility of nominees. Miss Rogers supervised the election. The Comet Staff is deeply grateful to these faculty members for the very efi ficient manner in Which they performed these duties. 5 .6 Z ml Z .0 Z .l m , , . ., .?.? mmmunwawymgngwg3?:4 Top Row: Oliphant, Perrone, Root, Bedichek, Johnston.

HAROLD DYBWAD MISS DARTHULA DAVIS Music in Austin High School Miss Darthula Davis has served this year as director of the Glee Club and teacher of musical theory, harmony, and appreciation. , Miss Davis received her musical education in the University of Texas, and the University Conservatory of Music. Under her direction the classes in music have grown and prospered and the Glee Club has had a very successful year culminating in the production of the Operetta, El Bandido, perhaps the most brilliant production ever staged by students of Austin High School. ' Mr. Harold Dybwad has directed the Austin High School band and orches- tra this year. He comes to the school With ample experience in directing both professional and amateur organizations. Under his guidance the band and or- chestra have steadily grown'in enrollment and experience. The band played at nine local football games this year and at one in San Antonio, and in addi- tion at all athletic rallies and benefits for athletic teams. It also gave concerts at Junior High, Wooldridge Park, the Majestic Theater, and Austin High SchOol. It took part in various civic parades, and furnished music 'for the an- nual May Fete given by the Austin Public Schools. The band and orchestra united to give two concerts at the Hancock Theater, one concert at the Round Rock High School, and one radio program. The ore chestra played at the February graduation exercises, and Will no doubt furnish music for the June commencement. It played for various civic luncheons and furnished the accompaniment for the opera, El B'andido.H One can readily see from the above that the musical department forms an in- dispensable part of Austin High School life.

' The Gmeert May Tournament Last fall one of the most interesting of the new courses introduced into the curriculum of Austin High School was the course in dramatics and the study of one-act plays taught by Miss Effie Graves. Students who were fortunate enough to have registered for the coilrse read and played numerous one-act plays. The socialized recitation was used, always a certain stimulus to self-activity. At the end of the fall term, the most enthusiastic of those who had but lately formed her class were turned over to the public speaking coach, Mr. Raymond Gerhardt, who trained them for the district one-act play tournament. TTThe Trysting Place by Booth Tark- ington was chosen and the cast was selected by the try-out method, Miss Ruth Hastings of the Curtain Club, University of Texas, and Mr. Morton BrOWn of New York City, acting as judges. ' On April 6, the tournament was held at Temple. Misses Graves, Goff, and Mr. Gerhardt ac- companied the contestants. The Maroon team won out ,in the preliminaries on Friday night and went into the finals on Saturday night against MeXia, winner of second place in the state last year, and Temple, one of the two teams to enter the state finals held here in May. The inexPerienced Austin team came out third. Harry Barnhart was named as the best boy actor on the allestar cast. CAST 01: ttTHE T RYSTING PLACE Mrs. Curtis ........

At the first meeting there were eight members present. At the next meeting there were double that number. In the fall the programs were all impromptu so that members might have practice in that form of speaking. Now, however, regular programs are the order of the day. Calhoun representatives entered the IntereCIub Debating, Declamation, and Externporaneous contests, and won second place in the Debating contest, btlt failed to place in the others. The representatives of the club were as follows: In debate, Martin Casey, George Roberdeau, Drew Nichols, and Archie Haston; in declamation, Killis Campbell; and in ex tempore speaking, Hawes Campbell. For a long while the club was without a sponsor, but finally was lucky enough to procure the services of Mr. Good, a sponsor with a very fitting name. Calhoun has been active this year, but hopes neXt year to be one hundred per cent more active in everything. Page I43 -. .- Avv. Fourth Row' Bieseli, Craze. Harper. G. Lewis. XVinfrcy. Barlow.

In connection With Mexico and Spain, the club had two very interesting talks by Mrs. Garcia, the mother of one of the club members, and Mr. Castaneda of the University of Texas. Miss Mary E. Decherd, of the Uni- versity, talked to the club about Brazil and South America. A travelogue through South American was the source of a great deal of fun. The talks were both humorous and educational and were glven by club mem- bers. . A11 in all, 192728 has been a very successful and profitable year for E1 Arco Iris.

It was organized in the fall by several Who were interested in music. While the club is comparatively small, it has already gained recognition. Miss Scott was the clubs first spon- sor, but her duties With the Red Jackets forced her to resign. She helped the club wonderfully, and entertained them With a bridge party during the Christ- mas holidays. Miss Darthula Davis then took the club over, With the result that she now has one or two grey hairs in her head. The programs are Very interesting and amusing. When any member misbehaves, he has to get up in front of the club and sing iiMary Had a Little Lamb. This usually brings results. It may be interesting to note that the club is not altogether partial to classical music, for popular songs are frequenthr found on the Lyre pro- grams. Reed Music Company has been kind enough to supply phonograph records for club meetings, and in this way the members are enabled to keep up With all the latest songs. x Page I51 :51:';- m1; ., ' A LA 4 4' .

After a months hard work out and drill, the Maroons opened the playing season by crushing Georgetown 41 to 0. The team missed the ustone wall forward section of last year but two wonder lines in succession cannot be expected. In the backfield the work of Wolf and Dabbs was missed, but their places were ably filled by Lewis and Walthall.

After the first failure to score, the Austin team could never get its full power into the fray. Houston Central was scheduled for the next contest, but failed to arrive, and Granger took its place. The contest was a close battle until the last few min utes of play, when neat blocking by Wright and an intercepted pass and an 85 yard run by Solid McDonald of baseball fame broke a tie score to enable Austin to win, 13-6. The Temple game was a heart-breaking affair from start to finish. Temple was graced with a whole bag full of horseshoes, and carried the game by a score of 36-7. The only Maroon score was made on a specially designed tackle eligible play for Blake Sellars, who snagged a pass and stepped over the last chalk mark for a touchdown. At Clark Field the Austinites took on the Corpus Christi eleven and turned it back with a score of 287. CorpusT only score came 1n the last few mlnutes of play when almost the entire Maroon second string was in the llneup. The Maroon team, accompanied by the Red Jackets and the Band, took over San Antonio for a day, and after the smoke had cleared from the football field, the score was 13-12, with Main Avenue on the little end. The Maroons cleara Iy missed the services of Captain Burr, but Lewis and Chote came through in fine style, and accounted for one score. A fatal fifteen-yardjpenalty and a mighty plunging attack, featuring Winslow, accounted for the winning marker. AustinTs biggest game was with Wacds Tyson Tigers, the team which is now considered the High School Champion of the United States. The Ma- roons unleashed a brilliant passing attack immediately and got within scoring distance, but a try for a field goal by Captain Melvin Vernon was a trifle short. After the first spurt, the team was swept off its feet and never seemed to regain them. Most of WacoTs pointers were made on the spin play, but several Austin passes were intercepted for markers.

ALTON LUCKETT THE TRACK SEASON OF 1928 The first track meet on the Austin calendar for 1928 was the Texas Relays, March 24. In this meet Forrest Ledlow took second place in the 120-yard high hurdles and Wilbur Seiders won another gold medal for Austin by taking second place in the high jump With a leap of five feet, ten inches. During the past two years Smithville has been a close rival in track. In 1926 the Tigers won the district championship from Austin by twelve points. However, Austin won the dis- trict meet last year by a margin of one point. In the dual meet With Smithville on April 14 this year, Austin won first place in ten of the thirteen events. The work of Captain Hill Hodges, Who threw the javelin 174 feet, was the feature of the meet. The Track Squad 9i: i111 - :I a I t t Xx l hx hQ Nvm L x The district meet held at Georgetown, April 17, was Aus- tin's one great objective for the year. In this meet Austin clearly outclassed the field. In the first event, 120 yard high hurdles, Austin took first and second places With Ledlow and Vance far ahead of the rest. In the 100 yard dash, Austin again scored heavily with Harris Spencer first, Pat Canion second, and George Barnes third.

BRALLEY C oacb UNCLEU TOM HOLLAND FISHER WILLIAMS This has been a most successful season for the Austin High School tennis team. Under the direction of Coach Holland, UUncle Tom, the squad has repeatedly defeated foreign teams With majority leads. The district meet was won by the Maroons for the sixth successive year. In the singles matches Captain Kamrath defeated Lampasas 6e0, 6e2. In the doubles matches Austin, through the expert playing of Kamrath and Bralley, lost but a single game against Smith- Ville, defeating them 6-1, 60. Austin entered the state meet With fair prospects of Win- ning for the fourth time the Interscholastic League tennis crown. Karl Kamrath won the singles championship. Joe Bill Bralley and Karl won second place in the doubles. THE SQUAD 1. Karl Kamrath is captain and first ranking player on the team. He at present holds the National Boys' Turf Doubles championship and expects to make an extensive tournament tour in the East this summer. His excellent back and foreg hand drives insure his success.

This team plays the Main Avenue team twice a year, and has beaten them badly nearly every time. It has been a number of years since Main Avenue has won a match from Austin High. The 1927 Golf team was very strong and beat all its opponents. It consisted of the following boys: Harvey Roberts, Felix George, Lonney Hornsby, Charles TeW, Edward Barkley, and Oscar'Nowart. The team this year is almost as strong. It is composed of the following: Edward Barkley, James Connolly, Lonney Hornsby, Harvey Lear, Williard Connolly, and Neville John- ston. Lonney Hornsby is nearly always down the middle but When he does go in the woods he comes out With a fine shot. All the boys are rapidly improving and shoot a good game. Mr. Hubert B.

THE DIRECTOR OF PHYSICAL , EDUCATION FOR GIRLS The Physical Education department of this year has made great progress largely on account of the work Of the new director, Mrs. Werna Hargis Thomason. This is her first year in Austin High as a teacher, but in the past she was a student here. While in the University, she made her T in 1921 and sweater in 1922. Mrs. Thomason was a member of the Turtle Club and also of the W. A. A. and served three years on the W. A. A. Co'uncil. She was also Viceapresident 0f the Texas Outing Club of 19244925. She receiVed her Bachelor of Science degree in Home ' In Economics in 1925. She had charge of the G. A. Afs in Belton in 1926e27. She had MRS. WERNA THOMASON charge of swimming at the University of Texas 1, last summer and this year has charge of Austin Highis swimming classes.

The results.were as follows: The team selected from the second period class, or the Red Team, won- everyr game played. The team selected from the third period class, or the Blue Team, was the high point team during the tournament. The total averaged 78 scores.

No student JACK BURKS: Heard it? I drive it! need be dropped from an athletic team or Red Jackets Who heeds these words. TO PARENTS Do not worry if your son or daughter gets a sheaf of U Notes. Sign them and let it' go at that. Teachers merely write them to try out a new fountain pen or because they have eaten a Jiggs Special in the Pitts Cafe or because they are disappointed in love or have lost confidence in their ability to teach the un- teachable to the untaught. . Provide your son or daughter With a motorcycle, Ford, or automobile, if possible. Arwrist watch, fountain pen, and circus raincoat, several pairs of loud knickers, ditto yvool sox, or, in the case of the fair sex, a box of imitation silk stockings, are highly desirable. Fifty cents a day Will feed your child and still leave enough for a movie three or four times a week. Movies, judiciously chosen, assist wonderfully in making out bookenotes on required reading, hence do not begrudge him the small change he may spend on the movies. GENERAL MISINFORMATION EntranceeGirls enter the front door, Rio Grande side, boys enter the back door, West Avenue side. uFor East is East and West is West, Ana Never the Twain Shall Meet. Admission CreditseTransfers from unaffiliated schools will be given imag- inary credits until they pass through the fiery furnace of examinations, eat the Stale .bread of the prodigal, and emerge from the den of lions. If they don't care to undergo these ordeals, they can go jump in the creek or take a specml. Page 205 Promotz'oneStudents are promoted ate cording to the way the teacher feels the night prior to promotion. Expect no more. Requirements for GraduationgA student in order to be a candidate for graduation, must have been in school at least eleven years and not over twentyeone years. tThis last rule has been violated in a few special cases See Mr. Raymond Smith, Mr. Bill Smith, etc., for informationj INFORMATION ABOUT THE DIFFERENT COURSES EnglisheAlthough one rarely has need- of the English language, since it has become supplanted by the English Slanguage, Which is really essential if the individual intends to go to college, it is a tender custom to ofe fer English throughout the High School. Yeh, this is a fine high SChOOII 1500 students an W8 HistoryeHistory is also offered. are the only ones to represent . a her at this dance. Mathematz'cseMath is offered in high school to give theistudent a chance not to disappoint himself and family in regard to failing at least two terms in the average high school career. SciencemThe study of birds, butterflies, bugs and blondes is not to be slighted in the average child,s education. Manual Training, etc.-This affords the boys of the student body an eX- cellent excuse for cutting themselves, classes, and materials at the expense of the school. Home Economics is also taught. Foreign LanguageseHindoo, Mexican, Yiddish, and Profanity are the lane guages offered in the high school. Subsidiary WorkeMembership in a club or clubs in high school Will entitle the member to credit toward graduation. If the sponsor can be made to re- member the four times that the student forgot to appear on the program, he may receive credit. V Daily Class WorkaThe last and probably the most impractical of ancient precedents is the fact that the faculty will expect the pupil to recite daily in class. Although it must be admitted that this is unnecessary, since exams are counted as a termis work, the situation must be met uncomplainingly.

FLATYRE Miss Fiegel has a floristsi shop on the first floor and helps run the school. As a sideline, she teaches Latin. Miss Fiegelis greatest ambition is to run a kennel and cattery. i'After many years experience With Austin High students, she says, I am confident: of success. Yet a few students, on hearing her comment, have expressed sympathy for the dogs and felines. Miss Harrison reports that fewer girls than ever before come to the library to prepare work. Mr. Carson has charge of the study hall. Frankly, one canit blame the little white-washed, gum-chewing high school flappers for admiring his pretty blue eyes, leonine head, and Lind- bergh face. He, himself, bespeaks his satisfaction With this homage by his bland smiles and con- tented eyes. Since Mr. Carson does not receive but thirty-five dollars a month tthe janitori makes fiftyX he finds this situation highly profitable.' In collaboration with Warren Salaman- der MaeSpadden, he prints pictures of himself, one cent each. Occasionally he allows Dorothy Ford and Daisy Gilbert to have them at two for a penny, or, as advertising, gives them free to Miss Martin and Miss Rogers. Down in the lunch room, Mrs. Pitts rules over synthetic food, patented steel rat traps. and meat sandwiches. HI believe in being economical, the American-Statesman quotes Mrs. Pitts as saying. HNot even the dishwater is thrown away here. Students should not bring lunches from home, as most of the paper sacks cannot be used again. Besides, food can not be expected to last four hours on these warm, summer days, while ours is guaranteed for a week. e1. B. FLATYRE. Page 207 3?

AUSTIN, TEXAS UJ GRAND CENTRAL OR SKINNYiS Always a Big Western Thriller and a Mile a Minute Comedy on the Screen for ONLY 10c and 20c AUSTINiS GREATEST ENTERTAINMENT , PARAMOUNT METRO GOLDWYN UNITED ARTISTS UNIVERSAL FIRST NATIONAL MOTION PICTURES THE MAJESTIC IN THE LIMELIGHT While abounding in boys and girls worthy of honor, school pride is mainly centered on a favored few. Especially are the eyes of the students turned upon Miss Gravesi dramatics class. In .this class, one of the outstanding performers- is Thurston Barlowe. He always takes the part of the simplegminded country boy. Miss Graves once told him that he was the most natural player she had ever seen. ' Niary Nass, another player of no mean ibut hideousi ability, acts the betrayed Wife. She throws hts nicely. Mary once brought her cigarettes to school; because, as she told the drag matics class, they were required in a play Which she intended to give. But aftere wards, Miss Graves dismissed the class and detained Mary. We wonder if one package was enough for the two of them. The part of lover is doubtfully stumbled through by Harry Barnhart. Harry has never had a chance to eXe haust his eloquence and ardent feele ings tyou canit blame the girls, can youD, so his performance is always very realistic, like the five-minute close ups in the picture show. iiCuteThroat Kramer is the Villain; He almost frightens Dorothy Ford into spasms When he roughly demands her life or money. Since she rarely has more than a nickel with her, we wone der Which is the more valuable. iiCut- Throatti is evidently in a bad situa- tion When he has to hoid up a girl to obtain money for his chewing tobacco. tContinued on next pagei tContinued from preceding pagen eMary Virginia Bedichek is perhaps thermost famous player. She has an inherent aptitude for portraying cooks, maids, and washwomen. Like a true artist, she does not confine her talent to her dramatics work, but is often mise taken for one of her characters outside of school. Miss Bedichek has several times appeared before a High School audience. On each occasion, the stage was ornamented With black curtains. A noted lecturer, Who once saw her ap pear, exclaimed, bShe upsets the Whole theory of evolutionV Another select group in High. School has been designated as The Four Hund dred. Lillian Bell Butler and Melvin Vernon are the ring leaders of this. The chief sign of elegance,n said Miss Butler, is a hnosre tip-tilted like the petal of a flowerf N She added, W110 be swell, one must drink Coffee With her little finger at right angles to the cup. She demonstrated. A true aristocrat never notices the herd? bHow about your talking to Jack Sparks yesterday? queried Melvin. Miss Butler biushed through a sprinkling of freckles, rouge, lipstick, and chili. REPUBLIC BANK 8 TRUST COMPANY OF AUSTIN OFFICERS ELDRED MCKINNON, President GEO. R.
