Nevertheless, the under- graduate should find in these words something of a glimpse into the future and an exhortation to be prepared for his own commencement of life. American young people of today have an assignment that is not optional. They are introduced to a terribly complex world, a world of quickly achieved knowledge and skills, of social tensions, of international frictions, of battered tradi- tions, of huge debts, and of inevitable change. On the other hand, they are confronted with a monumental opportunity- the same opportunity for making the best of life and for im- proving the world in which they live that confronted the Ball High School graduates of 1887. Qnly the opportunity that was presented to the graduates of 1887 has been enriched by the efforts of millions and safeguarded by the sacrifices of our heroes of war and peace. There is an even greater opportunity for the graduates of 1947. As you graduates go forth into the world, it is the fond hope of those who remain in Ball High that you will cherish your high school education as the cornerstone for a continu- ing and constant education in life. Let Ball High be the home to which you may feel free to return at any time. You will always be welcome here. Sincerely, I. VV. McFarland. Eg. if iifa-. craig 4 Mr. Sam B. Graliaiii f i . . Jecftcafzozzl Kindness Forget each kindness that you do Remember every kindness done As soon as you have done itg To you, whate'er its measureg Forget the praise that falls on you Remember praise by others Won, The moment you have won itg And pass it on with pleasureg Forget the slander that you hear Remember every promise made, Before you can repeat itg And keep it to the letterg Forget each slight, each spite, each Remember those who lend you aid, sneer, And be a grateful debtor. Whenever you may meet it. -Author Unknown Editor's note: Mr. Graham presented a copy of the poem above to each member of a recent graduating class, inscribed with the words offered as a light to help you land safely. Now, we realize that the thoughts expressed here put into words the undefined code he followed through life-a life of service and kindness, dedicated to helping others land safely. 5 Qfass 0 1Q42' Row upon row of straight, proud people clad in dignified caps and gowns pass into the auditorium. There is a trace of sun tan across some of their noses. But upon every countenance is a look of happi- ness, a great feat has been accomplished and now the victors take their places as thousands of others who have preceded them. Beneath the mortarboards and quivering tassels, we turn back to reflect over the past three years in high school. As sophomores we met the usual trials and tribulations. However, that year marked the coming of several changes. To begin with, we had a new principal, Mr. Davis Hill, who came to us from Canyon, Texas, full of new ideas and willing to support the desires of the pupils. The Student Congress was organized. Then We became juniors. NVe could beam down upon the poor, innocent sophomores and watch them squirm. Ah-h, it was delight- ful, however, this satisfaction was slightly marred by the introduction to the unfathomable depths of theorems in geometry, the metric in physics, and European history. September, 1946, found us enjoying the triumphant feeling of being seniors. Sorrow befell the school in Qctober when our Superintend- ent of Schools, Mr. Sam B. Graham, died. Mr. Hill became the new superintendent and Mr. John VVoolford McFarland became acting principal. Gur student life moved along with the speed which ac- companies every senior year. Punctuating the fleeting months, a semi-monthly newspaper, the Ba11Hi-Lights, came into our midst. And now, after we've seen our last high school football and basketball games, dusted off our ballerinas for one more dance, frolicked at pic- nics, and laughed at banquets, we come to our final step. The words of the speaker now seep through these thoughts, and we hear warnings and precautions about entering this post-war world. VVe are going into a world of strange competition, because colleges are over-crowded, and by the time we complete our education, this great mass of educated people will have gone into the business world before us. Thus we must fight just a little harder for what we wish to win. VVe will not be discouraged, however, for we are just on the threshold of life and still have faith and courage. Then we hear our names being called, and slowly the dignified fig- ures in caps and gownswthe class of '47-move forward to receive diplomas. So we move toward the future, and it's a grand feeling. by Elinor Olson 6 ff 9 Jah- Ww w Z ?oo? n Qmafaakon Qamciiclaies kr grajmaiion -ii- ADRIETTA ANNA AARNES-Spanish Club, '44-'45, Sophomore Roundup, '44-'45, Tri- Y, '45-'46, S.B.S.G., '47, Future Homemakers of America, '45-'46, Merry Maidens, '44-'45, DARLINE ELIZABETH ALLEN-S.B.S.G., '47.

KNOVV ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS: We, the pardoned, being of degenerate mind and questionable health, at the termination of three short Q?j years of serving sentence, and having attained the status of high grade morons, do, in full pos- session of what faculties we still may claim, hereby compose, ordain, and attempt to sneak past the censor, our final will and testament, be- queathing to the following these items of dubious value and debatable interest: Mr. John VVoolford McFarland: the realization of his desire to produce bright, intelligent, and sober students who will Ceventuallyj become useful citizens. Mr. Ross jones: fortitude sufficient to retain his sanity under the impact of the asininity of the student body. Miss Alice Bruce: a tardyless and absentless semester. Miss Susanna Baxter: peace, and progressive legislators to carry the Student Congress to even greater heights of achievement. Mrs. Aileen Stembridge: students whose journalistic qualities can- not be equalled. Faculty: all scratches, engravings, markings, etchings, sketches, carvings, and bubble gum of which the desks of the school are now sole possessors. Seniors, juniors, and sophs: our bequests to you must, in turn, be handed down to future generations of students. Soon, you too will be graduated. VVe leave you the grandest and most patient group of teachers who ever hanged pupils with their yoyo strings, our sincerest hope that you may have the use of a new educational edifice, and also all traditions, customs, falling plaster, happiness, joys, despairs, and desolations-Ave Aqua Vale. Having rid ourselves of before-mentioned bequests we, Pat Gray and Irving Pozmantier, affix our official seal to this document and declare it an invalid and faithless record on this rainy day in May in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and forty-seven. X-our mark.

The time has come for the seniors to say farewell to three happy years of fellowship. The time for part- ing can never break the bonds of comradeship, welded during these years by the memory of the shared joys and sorrows of school days. In 544, we came over to Ball High as frightened fish from the junior high schools. We were greeted by the new Ball High princi- pal, Mr. Hill. VVe were uncertain about what to do and where to go under the watchful eyes of juniors and seniors. After a few weeks of hard studying, we gained a degree of confidence. In the same year, the Student Congress was organized. This was a great stride forward in our school development. In '45, we attained the title of juniors, next to the top. We were getting braver and having more fun. Football, basketball, track, dances, and other activities began to attract our attention and to be enjoyed more than our studies. Seniors! What a nice word. We attained this title in '46, after two years of long and hard studying. During our senior year, we lost our superintendent, Mr. Graham, and our principal, Mr. Hill, assumed the duties of that position. Taking over the principal's duties was our able vice-principal, Mr. McFarland. The senior year has no doubt been the best of our three years in Ball High. Our happy, carefree days of high school are over, and we must now go on into the future. Some members of the class will con- tinue their studies in colleges, while others will enter the business world. We will never forget the cooperation, interest, and guidance given to us by our principals, dean, and teachers. We, the graduating class of '47, bid farewell to a pleasant past and look forward to a bright, prosperous future. Joe Willhelm, President, Class of '47 - Seniors You can always tell a junior You can always tell a freshman By the way he swells his chest, By his loud ways and suchg You can always tell a sophomore You can always tell a senior- Because hels so well dressed. But you canit tell him much. -Georgia Lynn Eaves 41 -i--National Honor Sooiety---- Kb? 1 xx .Sli NATIONAL HONOR SUEIETY X I :rg 1 U'Men1bers elected in April, 19471 CLASS OF JANUARY, 1947 Hilda Boyle Victoria Oballe Vlfanda Green Charles Perricone CLASS OF JUNE, 1947 Betty Jean Andreason Doris Elaine Andreason Beverly Benson Ruth Bodansky :kNorman Braslau :kDorothy Breslin Betty Dampier Caroline Duncan il1Joel Eeigon Sigmund Forman Virginia Frank Pat Gray Joan Grossman XFelicia Jacobs Clara Kaplan Lois Mendle Lou Mendle May Louise Milligan Carl Nau Edith Nelson Nancy Nesbit Elinor Olson Drusilla Ann Parr 'klrving Pozmantier Louis Reasonover Joyce Reifel Lois Scott Gloria Sharp Rose Mary Strain Bettye Lou Teitelbau lTl Mary Helen Kivch tkJoseph Arthur VVillhelm Eddy Lou Lobenstein Robert VVimberly Jo Claire McNeil Raymond llfitt 3':Shirley Ann Biffle Augustus Cotera Elaine Felix XCarol Janice Vlfood CLASS OF JANUARY, 1948 Mary Agnes Antichevich Mary Elizabeth Grace :l1Arlene Kay lCora Mcllwaine Robert Ryberg Aaron Fradkin Melvyn Schreiber Marvin Shwiff CLASS OF JUNE, 1948 t'fBillie Gwen Montgomery Uames Marvin Brady :kXochitl Carmen Cano tklrene Gertrude Cotton :kDoris Mae Denke XBette Alice Dixon fJohnny Mark Johnston d'Milton Muehlberger l:Jean Nesbit YShirley Robinson YJeanne Shearer bk Betty Lou Trapani qeaiana 7-S013 F6013 7-S053 7-S013 35052 36023 7805? 7605? 7-S023 limi?

On his return last fall, he became assist- ant principal. With his splendid qualifications and leading person- ality, he has received the support of pupils and teachers alike. W' In October, Mr. J. Davis Hill be- came Superintendent of Galveston Public Schools after the death of Mr. Sam B. Graham. He had been principal of Ball High School for a. little more than two years. In his new capacity, he has shown great ability in guiding the school system toward more modern trends and greater advances. Y Mr. J. Ross Jones came to Ball High in February as assistant prin- cipal. He was formerly registrar of Edinburgh Junior College. Although he has not been with us long, he has filled his place so well that we already feel that We could not get along without him. Students have come to look upon him as a fine friend, willing to give a helping hand or word of advice on any problem. Y Miss Alice Y. Bruce, who has been dean of Ball High School for four years, was previously dean at Lovenberg Junior High. Although we may not stop to realize it, Miss Bruce does a lot of work for the boys and girls of B.H.S. Nothing is too big nor too trivial to claim her attention when any one of us asks her aid. -:gum S WM - .. I .nm - fum ' Du , ,. , - 5 Af ,.,... ' 1- Q ..f W .

This time, we have in- terviewed the members of the Science Department and the Library staff. - Called Little Texas by the National Education Association be- cause she is only four feet nine inches tall, Miss Greta Oppe is known to Ball High as Little Miss Oppef, Miss Oppe considers it a rare privilege to have served as head of the Science Department for twenty-five years. The author of a work- text entitled Chemistry for High Schoolsf' Miss Oppe is vice presi- dent of the National Science Teachers Association of America. She is a director of the Texas Junior Academy of Science and is generally known for her scientific work. Anything scientific is both her career and her hobby, Miss Oppe says. Lil Besides being physics teacher here at Ball High, Mr. G. W. Bert- schler is sponsor of the Camera Club, which he originated in 1938. He is also interested in music, having been director of the Ball High Band from 1933 to 1937. He has played with the University of Texas Orchestra and the Galveston Melody Orchestra. In relation to physics, it is only natural that Mr. Bertschler is interested in mathematics and aeronautics. He has taught various math courses in summer schoolg he taught special classes in pre- flight aeronautics for the C.A.A. before the war, and for three years during the war he had a class of pre-flight aeronautics at Ball High. Mr. Bertschler is from New Braunfels, Texas, and is a graduate of the high school there. There were 16 members of the graduating class, he relates, of whom nine attended college and five became teachers. He received his B.A. and M.A. degrees from the University of Texas, with a major in mathematics for the first, and one in physics for the other. He served as a tutor for two years in the department of physics at the University of Texas. She would rather eat lemon pie than anythingg she liked Gone With the Wind so well that she read it twiceg she thinks Night and Day is a beautiful piece of musicg and she simply adores kittens. This is Miss Mildred Bettencourt. 56 Galveston is her home town, so naturally she graduated from our good old Alma Materfl after which event she journeyed on to Texas University, graduated, and attended Columbia University. She is the possessor of a B.A. degree and is working on her M.A. Besides Ball High, Miss Bettencourt has taught at Wichita Falls, Texas, and Huntington College at Montgomery, Alabama, where she was head of the Commercial Department. This man has an unusual hobby-the study of tropical fish. The gentleman in question is Mr. H. Steele Campbell, Ball High biology teacher. Mr. Campbell says that these fish have always interested him, and what could be more natural than to adopt them as his hobby? Mr. Campbell is a native of Palestine, Texas, and graduated from Stephen F. Austin State Teachers College, where he received his B.S. and M.A. degrees. Since he has taught in Anderson and Shelby counties as well as in Galveston, he is not new at teaching. His opinion of an ideal student is one who is courteous enough to listen and intelligent enough to apply some of the things he learns to his own situation. Nine countries and forty states of the United States is the travel record of Mrs. Shelby Mowat, Ball High biology teacher. She has visited-besides the forty states--Mexico, Canada, the British Isles, France, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, and Cuba. Mrs. Mowat's hobbies are sewing and gardening. She likes danc- ing, bicycling, and going on picnics in her spare time. She enjoys reading The Reader's Digest and Coronet.'i Her favorite food is chocolate, she likes blue best of the colors, and her favorite flower is the rose. Herbert Marshall and Bette Davis get her nod in the actor and actress favoritesf' Q She dislikes t'crabby peopleg her ideal student is one with a good, all-round personality-not a bookworm, but one who has other inter- ests besides books in school. This student would have an unselfish personality and be willing to help others. As for background, Mrs. Mowat is a native of Galveston and a graduate of Ball High School. She received her B.A. degree from the University of Texas. Before coming to teach at Ball High, she taught at Stephen F. Austin and Crockett schools. iii Biology is the subject and Miss Agnes Spence is the teacher. She hails from Austin, Texas, and is a graduate of the University of Texas. Miss Spence majored in Zoology and chemistry at Incarnate Word College in San Antonio for two years. 57 Any curiosity as to the large number of specimens in Miss Spence's biology lab may be answered by the fact that her favorite pastime is hunting for these articles. Some miscellaneous facts welve picked up about Miss Spence are that her hobby is raising flowers and her main dislike in students is dishonesty. Yes, our librarian does want you to use the library when neces- sary. Miss Mary Jane McGuire's ideal library pupil is one who can use the card catalogue and other refences without help, and who re- spects the rights of others while in the library. Miss McGuire was born in Milford, Texas, and she received her B.S. and B.A. degrees at Texas Presbyterian College for Women. She received her B.S. in Library Science at George Peabody College in Nashville, Tennessee. She was assistant librarian at Texas Presby- terian College for several years before coming to Ball High School. She likes to collect antiques and enjoys reading poetry and biogra- phies. Her favorite food is devills food cake. Another traveler, Miss Alicia Tate, has been to Europe five times, to Canada and Mexico and through the United States. She enjoyed meeting the people and seeing the things she had heard about, and she has many stories to tell about them now. As Ball High's assistant librarian, Miss Tate is living right in her own home town. She, like many of our faculty members, is a grad- uate of the University of Texas. Miss Tate gives a sigh of delight when apple cobbler is served at dinner, and falthough there is no connectionj, she likes to collect old thingsf, Her favorite movie is Mrs, Miniver and she enjoyed the book '4Forever England. X Her ideal library student, Miss Tate revealed, is one who comes in the library quietly, gets his material quietly, and does his work quietlyf, X W1 . I Congratulations .

To promote school spirit by keeping the students informed is one of the main purposes of the paper. It also gives students a voice in school affairs and promotes interest in worthy activities. The pioneering staff, gain- ing experience as it went, produced a four-page, five-column paper, and through the cooperation and support of Galveston merchants, it was distributed to every student and teacher free of charge. 63 First Row: T.

C. And so ends another year in the life of the R.O.T.C. cadet. As usual it has had its trials and tribulations, but as a whole, it was a most successful year. Yes, a year devoted to preparing ourselves for the defense of our noble land, the United States of America. It is the faint hope of our instructors that we should carry some of this knowl- edge with us into the world, and when we recall the days of 1946- 1947 in the R.O.T.C., we should remind ourselves of the many young men who, having passed through the same portals as we, entered the war, and gave their lives in the defense of their country. VVe should like to thank our instructors who, after many pains- taking hours of teaching and drilling us eight-balls, proved to us what pals they were in a pinch. Our special thanks to Colonel E. H. Mitchell, PMS 81 T, and Captain R. J. Hebert, Assistant PMS Sz T, who tried to make the course as interesting as possible. We won't forget the interest that Master Sergeants Franks and Buck and Tech- nical Sergeant lYhite displayed. Our hats are off to you five swell fflefl. - Let's Take ei Look at the Bulletin Board Here's a peek at some things past and some predictions for the future: Say, Sarge, what happened to The Reveille, the R.O.T.C. pub- lication? . . . Were glad that the NCO,s will now have some authority. . . . Our deepest thanks to those swell fellows who volunteered to help in the Red Cross campaign and the various other appearances that the cadet corps made .... Congratulations to the Rifle Team for showing Lamar High School of Houston how to shoot a rifle .... Thanks to Colonel Mitchell for giving the graduating seniors the first chance at promotions .... Since the Star Dairy has moved, the boys in ex- tended order will have to concentrate their efforts on taking the courthouse .... Seems as if Lieutenant Simmen is forever calling a friend named George .... By popular opinion, the ideal honor squad is as follows: Staff Sergeant Herbert Sharp, Sergeant A. Z. Walke1', Private Robert Shipley, Private Sidney Brown, Private Andy Odom, Private Tom Sullivan, Private Robert Chuoke, and Private Daniel XYeiser. VVe hope the flag stays there .... Ideal cadet: Andy Odom. . . . May all of you have a happy and most enjoyable summer. . . .

Focg-PDALL T The Golclen Tornadoes opened their l9-Hi grid season with a spec- tacular 20-0 win over the Stephen F. Austin Mustangs. Exhibiting a fine running attack, the Tors piled up ll total of 281' yards rushing and passing. The Tornadoes tallied in each of the first three periods. while the line. backed by heads-up play, held the .Xustin boys to a total of 86 yards gained. The left side of Balls line-Bob Hempel, Alfred Nelson, and C. I. Lowthigaye the Austin ground game plenty of trouble. The Austin band and drill team put on a colorful exhibition during the half. Displaying a smashing running attack, the Ball High Golden Tor- nadoes scored at will to rack up their second victory of the season by swamping the Sam Houston ,Tigers of Houston 47 to 0 before 5,000 fans at School Park. The Ball High boys scored in every quar- ter of a game in which the entire Ball High team of 35 players saw action, including Thomas Sullivan. The Tors piled up 17 first downs to total 39? yards of passing and rushing while the Tigers were able to gain only 36.

The Purple and Gold, in the first game of the season, de- feated the Stephen F. Austin Mustangs of Houston, 44-28. They Went on from here to tromp Galena Park twice, defeat Texas City, and whip the South Park Greenies, 39-23. The South Park tilt was not a district game. Meanwhile, in interseetional play, the Tors lost four hard contests, one to the cagers from Milby of Houston, 36-32.

TB-EEK The 1947 track team began its slow, repetitions conditioning in early March and finished the season late in April. The team had one returning letterman, Ray llomack, and a few of last year's trackmen, plus a large group of newcomers. Coach Fowler's thinly clads en- tered a large number of track meets this year, namely the Border Olympic at Laredo, the Conroe meet, Texas relays, Lee relays, Hous- ton relays, and the district meet. The Tors entered the district race with only a small number of points collected by VVomack at the preceding meets and came out last in the district race with but nine points. VVomack contributed a total of seven points-five points for first place in the high jump, and two for third place in the broad jump. Robert Chuoke placed fourth to give the Tors another point, and Lauzon coined a point by placing fourth in the high hurdles. Clther trackmen participating in the year's meets were Emil Huber, Bill Rogers, Bobby XYimberly, Fred Prickett, Larry Young, George Doherty, and Joe Di Mare. 94 TENNIS TEAM First Row: Seelhorst, G.

Ball Highs tennis team. the best in many years, had a great sea- son under Coach A. VY. Harchak. The team entered three tourna- ments. In the first, with Dickinson, team members won all of their matchesg in the second, with Stephen F. Austin of Houston, Ball Highis racketeers won seven and lost one. Traveling to Beaumont for the district competition, they swept three of four events to win the district 14.-XA title. The Tor players took boys' doubles, girls' doubles, and girls' sin- gles. Richard Richards and Eugene Letsos breezed through the doubles with scores of 6-0, 6-O, G-1. The girls' doubles team, Gloria Sharp and Anita Fay Zinn, won fi-2, 6-tl, and lietty Ann Hari' won thc. girls' singles 6-1, 6-0. Runge lost to Tom Clark of Beaumont to for- feit boys' singles. Some members of the team entered the River Qaks Tournament. They were Louis Runge, Donald Farmer, Letsos, and Richards. Letsos went to the third round, while the others dropped out in the first and second rounds. Other netters this season were Tlilly Mcllillan, Donald Gottlob, Sue Seelhorst, and Thelma Kogut. 95 FOOTBALL-fContinued from Page 925 game. The Tors, paced by two hard-running backs, Alvaro Vaiani and Dee A. Clements, swamped the over-rated Beaumont gridders 27-0. The Tors stomped to 14 first downs while South Park managed to get only 5. Both teams exhibited fine ground play, with Billy Bag- gett, all-district back, almost getting loose for long gains. Playing their worst game of the season, in which they showed no offensive plays, the Ball High gridders rolled over the Cleburne jack- ets 2T-O. The Tors racked up their fourth straight victory and still maintained an undefeated, untied, and unscored-upon record. The Orange Tigers, after being pushed all over the field during the first half, managed to come to life and score after a 63-yard march and defeat the Tors 'T-6. The Ball High line, which had held four op- ponents scoreless this season, cracked long enough in the second pe- riod to permit the Tigers to push over a TD and defeat the Tors in this second district game. This was boomed as the number one schoolboy game in Texas. Ball High, led by all-district Bob Hempel, rolled over the Royal Purples of Beaumont 33-13. Snapping back from their loss to Orange the previous Week, the Tors struck within two minutes after the kick- off on a pass from Vaiani to Hempel to score the first TD. The Tor offense was only fair, while it gained nine first downs to the Royal Purples' three. This game was in honor of the late Sam B. Graham, who was superintendent of Galveston Public Schools. The Port Arthur Yellow Jackets were thrown out of the district race by losing to the inspired Tors, 28-0. This was the first time in history that the Jackets were defeated on their home ground by the Tornadoes. The mighty Tors started their initial touchdown drive early in the second period when Vaiani intercepted a Port Arthur pass. Dave Balderach, one of the district's leading extra point kickers, booted all of the four conversions. The Tors showed power in all classes by shoving the Jackets all over the field and scoring in the sec- ond, third, and fourth periods. The highly touted Pasadena Eagles, who, the week before, had de- feated South Park, ran over the Tornadoes to win 14-6. The Tor defense just could not hold slippery Jimmie McNeil and Lawrence St. Pe working from the intricate T. The Tors lost all hopes of staying in the district race, while the Eagles went on to cop the district crown. Big Billy Butler, the 230-pound tackle, gave the Tor line considerable trouble. The spectacular play of the game was when Alvaro Vaiani took a Pasadena punt on his own 27 and returned it 73 yards for the Tors' only touchdown. 96 The Tors finished their district schedule with a spectacular 22-0 win over their oldest rivals, the Goose Creek Ganders, This was the first time since 1938 that the Tors had overtaken Coach Dan Halls- worth's Ganders, D. A. Clements scampered to pay dirt twice and Alvaro once on a T0-yard punt return. After being held to one touchdown for the entire first half, the Golden Tornadoes suddenly began to click in the second half to down Kirwin 32-0 and take the 1946 city championship before over 5,000 fans at School Park. lt was the fourteenth meeting of the two squads, and the win was Ball's thirteenth of the series. The two elevens tied in 1935. The Bucs played a terrific defensive game to battle the Tornado offense in the first half, but could not hold the spirited Tor eleven in the second half. Three Tornado markers were tallied via the ground, while the other two were by air. In spite of a muddy field, both squads played hard football. Thus the Tors ended their 1946 season. -CContinued from Page 933 the lead the Pasadena Eagles took in the early part of the game. Some fine talent was displayed by the Tors' all-round forward, Buddy Bev- eridge, as he took high point honors for the night. The ,Tors continued their season by being defeated by the future district champs, the Beaumont Purples. The Port Arthur Yellow Jackets, paced by George Sladwyck, effected the Tors' fifth beating. The South Park Greenies pushed the Tors further into the cellar by handing them their sixth straight defeat. The Goose Creek Ganders, the Tors' district Nemesis, journeyed to the isle, and paced by 6'6 George Sutton, defeated the Tors for their seventh straight defeat. The Tors finally broke into the district win column by smashing the powerful Orange Tigers, 62-27. South Park's Greenies, guided by Floyd Eberhardt, were stopped by the Tornadoes' great defensive set-up. The Ball High Tornadoes copped their third straight city cham- pionship in as many years by defeating the Kirwin Buccos three straight. ,The Tornadoes, again paced by Buddy Beveridge, were hardy enough to be at their best when playing their crosstown rival, Kirwin. The team had six players alternating in the starting lineup during the season: john Nash, Buddy Beveridge, Billy Hempel, Ray Wo- mack, Edward Zambon, and james Black. Ball I-Iigh's versatile for- ward, Beveridge, lived up to his advance billing as all-district by lead- 97 ing the Tors in scoring and pacing the team all the way. In his fourth season of cage competition, Beveridge finished third in individ- ual scoring behind George Sladwyck of Port Arthur and Floyd Eber- hardt of South Park. The Tors were coached by john Kallina, who took a bunch of green boys and developed them into a hard fighting, hustling cage squad. -- THE PURPLE QUILL Expense Account Credit Found in rotunda .,................

A wide, smooth lawn stretched all about Like a carpet with silver warp And the breeze played sweetly a silver tune On the strings of a silver harp. And then the breeze was quieted As though by some great hand, The moon looked down and marvelled At the stillness of the land. There was a silence by that pool Cleft by a single thing, The lonely trill of some night-bird That felt compelled to sing. The song chimed forth like a silver bell And settled on the pool, Then melted downward soft and slow, ln a silent, silver school. -by Patricia Thomas 100 iff Wwe a Senior: by Kathleen fBobo5 Duncan a sophomore The seniors at Ball High are really a swell group, but like most typical seniors, Ilm afraid they forget that everyone canlt be a walking encyclopedia, or Hedy Lamarr, or Clark Gable. Now if I were a senior, I'd show the little sophs around the halls willingly without sarcasm at their ignorance in not being able to get Where they are going by themselves. I would take them to the cafe- teria and the library and cheerfully lead them to that English class tucked away in some obscure place. When some innocent Cand ignorantj little sophomore ask-ed me how to work that extra hard algebra problem or what caused Athens' downfall, or why this was the subject and that the predicate, I would try to explain clearly and patiently. After all, that soph can't help his ignorance. Ignorance, I would remind myself, is bliss. I certainly w0uldn't stay up nights slaving to make an 'A' on that civics exam, as seems to be the tendency of most seniors. If I had succeeded thus far, surely I could stick it out just one more year. Naturally I wouldnit worry about not having a bid to the senior dance. Why, with my beauty and brains, the boys would just flock! And about falling flat on my face at graduation! Why I would have perfect confidence in my ability to cross the stage of the City Auditorium without falling down and breaking my nose. Another thing-I wouldn't protest at having my picture put up in the halls to smile down on children of the next generation, because I,d know that it wouldn't frighten anyone, much. It looks as though I'd be a perfect senior, the type every sopho- more likes and respects at the same time, but if I should slip up some- where, please don't blame me. Vile can't all be perfect, you know! ' ' apwmas by Elinor Olson a senior i After battling my way this far, to the realms of seniorhood,', why must I turn back to face that plight again? Isn't the sophomore year full of enough problems? Vlfhich way should I turn to avoid that domineering senior's eye as he waits with a load of books for my aching arms? Is there no end to this registration line? Haven't I walked up and down the same steps one dozen times, and yet where am I? 101 These perplexities are still fresh to you gay, carefree 'fyoungstersf' and if I were among your happy, wide-eyed throng again, there are many things I would like to do differently and many others I'd enjoy doing again. I would first get my high school career off to a flying start. On registration day, I would arrive in the newest and most startling at- tire I could muster. I would know exactly what subjects I wished to take and try to get the most highly recommended teachers fthe ones that give the highest grades for the least effortj. Of course, if this were the ideal registration day, I would alight cool, calm, and col- lected from the library after about fifteen minutes. fI'hen the first day of classes would come and this, again, would involve a good bit of touching up, lipstick dabbing, and a general application of that woman-of-the-world air. VVith all my newly acquired grace and poise, I would glide into my first period class. Of course, Ild waste no time discovering the cutest boy in the class and with such a discovery, spend the rest of my days in that class plot- ting to win his heart. Now if I were a very popular and attractive sophomore, I'd try out for a position as cheerleader. As the football season wore on, my spirit for my new school would increase to such bounds that some might turn and gaze upon me with raised eyebrows as I'd march down the center of some downtown street, purple and gold ribbons hanging limp in one hand and an enormous cow bell in the other. Of course, I would only be following the band home from a victorious game, offering my hoarse yells whenever my services were needed. Then after I had begun to feel at home in these new surroundings, my emotional system would be given a jar by the realization that Fish Friday was drawing near. I wouldn't listen to the gory stories they tell of previous days, I wouldn't believe the veterans. of the stinging belts nor the lipstick stained coats, I'd go blissfully on my way hoping against hope that this year things would be different. Besides, I'd just be brave and show those seniors just who's whom around here. But if I were a sophomore, I know that I would have socks of two colors and a poor excuse for a purse, which would really be a milk bottle. And the reason I couldnlt see where I was going would be because I would be behind a rather top-heavy stack of books that- feel-like-they're-going-to-FALL! If I should live through these first weeks without any serious damage to my health or nervous system, I would be deeply thankful and forever more look upon my upperclassmen with deep respect, because I would then know what they went through to deserve it. 102 ' SERGEI VASSILIEVITCI-I I ONES r by Melvyn Schreiber Ah, music. How well I remember the day when first I saw a piano. 'Twas when I was but three years young. Mother had the monstrous thing put in the living room, and it was in that same living room not two minutes later that I received the worst shock to which I have ever been exposed. I crept into the room where the monster stood like a foreboding giant, and quietly seated myself before the keyboard. My fist descended upon the keys, making the most terrifying sound I had ever heard. I leaped from the stool and dashed to my room. No one saw me for the next four days. I was scared stiff. ,M - of, ,Mi My W 'ft awe-21 ff Qgx fffl If ' 2? in This first encounter with the piano was not to be my last, I soon found. VVhen I was nine years of age, Mother engaged a tutor to instruct me in the gentle art of beating on a keyboard. My teacher, Dr. Ignacio Foofifkinoff, was a forceful person, and I soon learned to sit very still at the piano, with my hand in precisely the correct po- sition, for one hour each week. For two long grueling years I worked at the piano for two 'hours each day, trying to perfect the five-finger exercises which Dr. Foofif- kinoff insisted were good for my technique. I devised many ways to escape from the daily chore of practicing my lesson, but I soon found that all was futile, so I resigned myself to the task of making good. From that day forward, I never objected to practicing two hours each day. fPerhaps it was because the new little girl who moved next door just adored to listen to my banging. But that is neither here nor there, although I found myself over there most of the timej 103 iContinued on Page 1333 fricfiy gersona Weld like to introduce to you nine B.H.S. students, the things these students like Cand the things they don't likej, and what they want to do in life. After you've found out something about them, you'll like them, you'll find that out for yourself when you meet them. This is only your introduction- Yes, that brown-haired, brown-eyed, up and coming sophomore is Kathleen CBoboj Duncan. Bobo loves fruit, especially apples. Her favorite radio program is Lux Theater, and she rates Ingrid Berg- man tops among the movie stars. At present she says her favorite movie is 'fSpellboundf' Bobo loves to read, and she liked jane Eyre a lot. If you don't know Bobo, make it your business to meet her right away. Everybody make room for the business manager of Ball Hi-Lights! That's right-Donald Cangeloisi. This industrious junior stated that among his likes are The Razor's Edge, roast beef, Gene Tierney, The Green Years, and English. He also commented that he enjoys basketball, but is far too busy working on the Hi-Lights to indulge in it very much. His pet aversion is smart-alecksf' Donald's ambition is to be a psychiatrist, and of course we know he'll succeed. That pretty lass with those beautiful blue eyes we've seen in the halls since September is Rae Waters, a gal everyone should know. Born in Galveston in 1932, Rae is a high sophomore at Ball High. She insists that her favorite food is brussels sprouts Ckinda' hard to be- lieve, isn't it ?j and says that at present, literature is her favorite sub- ject. Tom Drake and The Green Years really rate when it comes to movies, and listening to Lux Theater is a must. Rae enjoys play- ing tennis and basketball and going to football games. When fand ifj she gets that diploma, she plans to go to T. S. C. W. and on from there to be a physical therapist. If you want to meet one swell girl, we suggest you dial 8354 and ask for Rae. Have you ever met a human dynamo of energy? You haven't? Well, for goodness sakes, meet Elaine Huddleston. This tall junior Cwho has a passion for seagullsj was very enthusiastic when asked for some of her favorites. She likes Cornel VVilde, ice cream, and English, although she can't play tennis, it's her favorite sport. Her favorite book goes all the way back to her uchildhoodf' It's The Dutch Twins. Elaine says The Jolson Story was really tops. Her 104 pet aversion is exams, and her ambition is to stop growing. Good luck, Elaine! Believe it or not, ole Ball High may have within her walls a po- tential Steinbeck or Wakeman, or maybe a Pettengill or Pearson! This fellow who aspires to be a writer is none other than Harry Strickhausen. In keeping with his ambition, he likes to read, and his favorite subject is English. Also, he is a member ofthe business and news staffs of the Hi-Lights. Harry really enjoys a good steak, and- as far as he's concerned-- Lux Theaterl' is the best program on the air. 'KThe Green Years is his favorite book, and For Sentimental Reasons, his favorite song. Make way for the sophomores and their very good representative, Carol Childress! Don't know her? Well, better get acquainted, but quick! You might approach her with some of her favorites, such as chicken, horseback riding, The jolson Storyf' or one of its stars, Scotty Bickett. Carol likes any kind of mystery book, and her favorite subject is algebra. She is a versatile person, as is shown by her hob- bies, which are making stuffed toys and collecting after dinner coffee spoons. Carol hates to see women in slacks, so when she is a rancher several years from now, she'l1 wear blue jeans. Sounds like one swell person! Don't wait too long to meet her. Come on, fellow Ball-Highers, and meet China's gift to our Alma Mater. He's a low junior, but he was ready to express his opinions. Chicken, baseball, chess, and public speaking are tops, says he. He likes joan Leslie, and his favorite movie is The jolson Story. As books go, Men Against the Sean was swell, His pet aversion is eggplant, his ambition, to grow taller. Have you guessed who this grand guy is? Right! Koon Go! Attention, fellow students of B.H.S.! Meet a truly fascinating girl -Helen Lockett. Ball High and Galveston have just had the pleas- ure of this charming junior's presence since September, but Helen says she loves Ball High and Galveston already. CThree cheers for Helenlj Among her many favorites are fried chicken Cyum, yumlj, football, The Hit Parade, the Louisa Mae Alcott books, The jolson Story,', and joseph Cotten. Collecting whatnot dogs is her hobby, and her ambition-to be a secretary. He's a senior at Ball High, so you donit have too much time to 105 meet him. Better hurry up. His name?-Oh, his name is Nathan Zainfeld. Nathan has loads of favorites, some of which are bread pudding, Ingrid Bergman, '1The Lost Weekend, and Forever Am- berf, His favorite subject is mathematics. Among his outside inter- ests, girls and dancing stand out on top, his pet aversion is English. Nathan has both musical interest and talent which came to light when he said his ambition was to be a violinist. All kinds of good luck to you, Nathan. Qtpiomai by Lois Scott Amy sat at her desk and wondered about Miss Price. The seventh grade history lesson was lost on her as she thought about the teacher. Miss Price would be really pretty, Amy decided, if she would only forget her shyness and fix herself up a little. Everybody would like her better, too, if she would talk to them instead of hurrying by in that mousy way of heirs, with no greeting but a shy smile. Amy thought she was about the sweetest person she knew, and she wanted to make other people think so, too. Usually, the teachers' lives-past, present, and future-were known to the students. Somehow, though, nobody could tell Amy much concerning Miss Price. For all her sleuthing, Amy had found that the teacher was not a local girl but had come about a year ago from a small town in Maryland. She had not made many friends, apparently, in the time she had been in town. Amy had done her best to be friendly. Several times she had complimented Miss Price on her dress or hairdo, although she occasionally had to cross her fingers behind her back to lessen her falsehood. Once, even, they had walked down the hall together. Her advances had been met politely, though not eagerly. Now Amy was ready with her big plan. After some persuasion, her mother had agreed to enlist in the great project. As soon as school was over, Amy would reveal it to Miss Price. The time came. Amy lingered behind the departing children and paused at the desk. Miss Price looked up. Yes, Amy, she asked kindly, do you want something? Mother sent you a note. Miss Price took the proffered envelope and read silently: Dear Miss Price: I am having a small tea at my home, 93 Oak Street, next Saturday at four o'clock, and I should be delighted if you could come. Amy has spoken of you often and has expressed the wish that we might become better acquainted. I hope that Saturday will provide the opportunity. Sincerely yours, Sheila Cartwright. Amy waited, tremblingly, while her teacher read it through a second time. Then, suddenly, her question was decided. Please tell your mother, Amy, that I shall be very glad to come. Oh, I'm so glad! Amy beamed. There are some real nice ladies coming. They smiled at each other in mutual friendliness and Amy skipped off, happy. Miss Price sat at her desk several minutes. Then she rose and went down town toward the New Dress Shoppe. 106 '7fxe Ea!! . by Rose Mary Strain fx The blazing sun beat down unmerci- WH fully on the city of Chicago.

She started typing the letters with such renewed vigor that she didn't see Charlie when he came up. Careful you donlt break the keys off, beautiful. She glanced up at the messy-looking young man and smiled at him vaguely. No fear of that. They're stuck on plenty good. HVX7ell, I just don't want you to use up all your energy in this old officeg I want you to save some for tonightf' Uh-huh,', was the only reply. VVell, see you at 8 :30. Toni didn't even bother to say goodbye. She disliked Charlie, but he was her only possibility for getting to the dance. She had returned to her work when she noticed Mr. Golden com- ing out of his officeg she looked up, hopeful of some kind of recogni- tion. The glance he gave her, however, was anything but flattering. It was the same type one would give a messy desk or an overturned waste paper basket. She grimaced at his departing figure and con- tinued with her drudgery. 2: nk 3: :Qc :Zz After resting awhile, Toni looked much better. The dark circles that had surrounded her eyes had disappeared, and her lovely black 107 pest if-has tn the rathueries E'E:.!:EX2C.E,,W viririririlirixiriuir xixinixiririz tresses were fixed in a becoming upsweep. The strapless gown of scarlet net was very flattering to her slim figure, and Toni, for the first time in what seemed months, was gay. It was no wonder that when Charlie called for her promptly at 8:30 that a very long and very loud whistle should follow the opening of the door. Many admiring glances followed her graceful figure as she crossed the dance floor with tall, blond Charlie. Her gaiety seemed to grow as the evening passed. She danced with many, many people and everyone was wonderfully friendly. Her exultation reached its peak when George, or Mr. Golden, asked her to dance with him when, as he informed her, his favorite song was play- ing. He was very attentive and complimentary. He danced with hex several other times and seemed to be fighting for her favor over the score of others. Oh, it was a wonderful night for Toni. She and Charlie sang on the way home, and she wearily but happily said good night. The next morning shelstill was singing the cheerful songs played at the ball, and she didn't mind the heat at all. As she entered the office, everyone was busy at work, and no one bothered to look up. She settled at her machine and started sorting papers. Charlie came up and asked for another date. She told him she would let him know later. Then her heart stopped. Mr. Golden was coming in the door. As he neared her desk, she nervously began to smooth her hair. She needn't have worried, however, for he passed by with no sign of rec- ognition. It suddenly seemed stifling in the office. Toni sighed and turned to her typing. The sun was up now, and the heat was becom- ing unbearable. Are You a Porcupine? by Corinne Lauzon , A porcupine spends its life on the defensive. It's so sure that everyone who comes near it wants to harm it that it bristles its quills. Result: Nobody comes near it. If you shrivel with fear of people, try being friendly. No human can resist friendliness. If a girl friend snubs you, brush off the snub. Chances are she probably wishes she hadnlt done it. If a boy friend slights you, forget the slight. Remember that he probably feels like a heel. e Expect people to like you and they will like you. Expect to have fun everywhere you go and you will have fun. Be a good friend and you'll have them by the dozens. Donlt be a porcupine, He looks for nothing but trouble-so he has it-and all by his lonesome. 109 rininio1oiu15AY You SAW HIS AD IN THE t'QUlLL f,.-,-.,-..-4...

He set his course for the following day and dropped anchor. As the sun set, the wind grew stronger, a tropical hurricane blew in over the island and the sea became very rough. At once Galves saw that this rotten ship would not stay afloat all night, so he gave the command to aban- don ship. His men, who now thought Galves was a coward, turned against him. They broke into the armory and stole three score cutlasses, pis- tols, and rifles. Then hurrying to the galley, they stole food for the trip to the island in a row boat. Old Stewpot VVhiskey VVerner had been chief cook and head of all cooking utensils and now took command of the merry ship Seven Sistersu or Look twice, your glasses need adjusting. Stewpot Wer- ner was the meanest looking varmint west of the thirty-first parallel. Not one man would cast his shadow on Stew, nor call him a liar, and live long. Cutlass Caulk, a red-haired devil, was now acting first mate. He carried two large cutlasses on his belt and two pearl-handled pistols to match. Cutlass Caulk had some of the wind taken out of his sails by getting in a brawl with old Stewpot, in which Stew hacked him up a little. Acting second mate was Horatio Bucket of Blood Bullock, one of the most fighting men on all the boundingmain. He killed three men with one blow of his cutlass because one of the varmints tried to steal his diamond inlay toothpick. Then there was Bad Mouthv Bock, nicknamed so because he was always getting bashed in the mouth with a couple of cutlasses for forgetting to report Aye-Aye, Sir when he was supposed to. Bock was a man to be feared, for in his day he would rip any man into pieces if he were a coward and didn't have the guts to strike back. Most of the time he picked the drunk ones. Yes, sir, that Bock was a brave one. Others of the crew were Killum', Crowder, Hoopdick Hernan- des, f'Butcher Brown, and the handsome cabin boy, Van Kirsch- ner Cincidentally, the now famous Van Johnson is a direct descendant of 'fVan Kirschnerj, who had a way with all the lovely girls. Kil- lumi' and Van', had been shanghaied and put aboard the Seven Sistersf, A 111 ,..,...,..,.0..4 SAY You SA IS AD IN THE QUlLl. 1--..-..-..-.,-.

Van, our hero, was com- pelled to row the boat to the shore. Stepping out first on this new island was not Stewpot, nor was it Cutlass,' Caulk, nor Bucket of Blood Bullock, nor Bad Mouth Bock, nor Hoopdick iI-Iernandes, nor K'Butcher,' Brown, nor Kil- luml' Crowder, but our hero, who was sent to the shore first of all to see what danger lurked behind every swaying palm. Yes, these cutthroats were brave men, but the bravest of all was Van,,' that handsome devil. Camp was made and soon all was quiet. Van, who was not asleep, rowed back to the old ship and took Galves out of irons. There they armed themselves and started out to capture the mu- tineers. At the camp Kirschner's absence had been discovered, and the whole island was being searched. Then the mutineers spotted the two, Van and Galves. Swords were drawn and Galves shrank back in fear, but our hero drew his trusty cutlass and with a few swings cut down Butcher, Hoopdick,l' Killum, and Bad Mouth. Still they charged, and learned their mistake too late. Stew, the last of the crew, pulled his gun and fired a shot which found its mark in Kirsch- nerls body, but in our herols last effort he hacked Stew from head to toe. Galves came and blessed the hero, who was sinking into the far beyond. Out of loyalty he named this fair land Kirschner. But in later years the Chamber of Commerce changed the 'island's name to Galveston in memory of Galves. This is the only true historical document of The History of Kirschner Islandf, later named Galveston. Editor's Note: Any resemblance to persons living or dead is pure- ly intentional.

Usually they appear when you are pretending to be interested in your book with your head in your hand. CNaturally the teacher is too busy to notice.j Of course there is one form of doze which, to the casual observer, gives the appearance of deep sleep. This is the doze or quickie,', which is taken after the main -awakening in the morning. The alarm rings, or the Lord High Chamberlain taps us on the shoulder. Cln the absence of a Chamberlain, a relative will do. There are some rela- tives who take actual delight in awakening people. They hover about with ghoulish anticipation until the minute arrives when they may legitimately begin their dirty work, and then, leering unpleasantly, they shake the sleeper roughly with a Come, come! Time to get up l and wait right there until he is actually out on the cold floor in his bare feet.j At any rate, we are awakened, and we look at the clock. There are five minutes before it is absolutely necessary to get out of bed. Who knows? Perhaps those few minutes of extra sleep might make us just ten times as efficient during the day. That is what we must think of-efficiency. There is no doubt that five minutes more sleep would do wonders for us. By the time we have finished this line of argument, we are fairly cold again, but not so cold that we are not conscious of someone en- tering the room. We feel that they are going to say, Come on, don't go back to sleep again,', and we forestall this warning with I know! I know! l'm just resting my eyesf' It is one of natureis wonders how a teen can carry on an argument with someone standing beside his bed and- still be asleep to all intents and purposes. Not a very good argument, perhaps, and one in which many important words are missing or indistinct, but still an argu- ment. There is the short-distance doze on the bus, probably the most hu- miliating form of sleeping. Here we allow our head to rest upon our hand fwhich is propped up by a pile of books belonging to our friends who are standing upj for just a minute.

You are very lucky if, when you come to and look about you, you do not find your neighbors smiling indulgently at some little noise of breathing or your facial expressions. Of course there are a few lucky people who get a ride Cin a carl to school. There the elbow is rested on the window sill and the head placed in the hand in an'attitude of thought. The glass feels very cool on the forehead and we rest it there, more to cool off than any- thing else. The next thing we know the forehead Ccarrying the entire head with itj has slid down the length of the slippery pane and we have received a rather nasty blow against the molding. They shou1dn't keep the glass so slippery, a person is likely to get badly hurt that way. However, back again goes the forehead against the pane in its original position, with the hand serving more or less as a buffer, until another skid occurs, this time resulting in an angry determination to give the whole thing up entirely and sit up straight in the seat. Some dozers will take four or five slides without whimpering, going back each time for more. It is a game that can't be beat, however, and the soone'r you sit up straight in your seat, the sooner you will stop banging your head. The game in all this is to act, on awakening, as if you had known all along what you were doing. If your neighbors are smiling, you should smile back, as if to say, Fooled you that time! You thought I was asleep, didn't you PU The whole problem is one which calls for a great deal of thought.

They have a strange belief that because God gave them a mind and a heart, they are the only ones who can understand. But they don't understand at all, because for forty-nine years I've been planted out here beside the high school where I can watch every boy and girl struggle through the most mixed-up, impressive part of his life. And as I've watched, I couldn't help but notice that the same thing that causes one person happiness usually has an identical effect upon the next fellow. And certain kinds of hurts hurt just as much in one as another, although there are different reactions. But few have ever realized this. That's why I say they don't understand. Of course, I haven't always known all I know. I've had to live and learn. In my early days I was hardly conscious of people. I just lived, excited with my own life. I was only an insignificant shrub, not knowing or caring how I got here. I just knew that there was earth beneath me-earth that had food that thrilled my veins. just the thought of it caused me to dig my young roots deeper. And above me there was sky-sky thatlwas blue and sent down warm, golden sunshine, and sky that was gray and sent down cool, silver rain. I loved the sky and reached toward it with my thin branches. I grew tall, my trunk filled outg my branches became strong and more independent. And as I grew I reached a point where, though I still loved the earth and sky, the ordinary life I lived began to become routine for me. So I looked about for a new interest. I didnlt have far to look, because it was only natural that I should choose people. VVhen I became aware of all the life going on around me, I was sur- prised that I had never noticed before. The school became a great part of me. I learned to. know each of the students, and teachers, too, I learned to know them so well that I could feel their thoughts. And I missed them when they werenlt there. I found myself anxiously anticipating the first ray of light in the morning and becoming excited when it did appear. The light brought life to the school, because soon they would be coming. ffhey come in a sudden mass. Two big school busses stop and unload, private cars bring some. At the same time, bicycles are being parked for the day, and many are arriving by foot. And all at once, the stillness of the morning, and if I may say, the deadness of the school is replaced by the fresh, lively animation the students always 119 O OF THE GHLVESTON HUTCIVIGBILE DEHLERS HSSOCIHTICN 5 carry with them. I don't know why, but Iive always found myself characterizing the group rather than the individual. Always, though, there is one who is a little special to me. One who means just a little more than the others. This year it was Jane. I first met Jane one summer day. Summer school was in session as usual, but ,lane wasn't a pupil at summer school, and for that matter, hadn't been even in the winter. But this fall she would start at our school. Yes, she would start not only at a new school, but she would try to get a new start at -well, everything. In a town like ours, news travels. Oh, we aren't one of those gos- sipyn little towns that knows everyone else's business 5' but if some- thing does get started-good or bad-it has plenty of force behind it. There isn't a minute wasted, either. Jane had been here for three weeks, and everyone already knew why she and her mother had come here to live. You see, the state penitentiary was near our town, and they knew that Jane's father was there serving a term for doing-oh, something. Nobody knew exactly what, there were three or four dif- ferent stories. It didnit matter to them which one, if any, was true. VVasn't he in prison? That was the main reason they came to' our town. But I guessed that probably jane's mother had another reason for bringing Jane to another town to go to school. It had been just a hope, and now it seemed that it would always be nothing more than a hope. So on this day--this hot day--Jane was passing down our side- walk. Summer was at its height, the sun was sifting through my limbs, and in their own shadow the leaves were a darker shade of green, but on top they played with the sun, trying to reflect back a part of its light. The heat was so intense that one could almost see the freckles as they popped out on Jane's nose, and damp ringlets were pressed to her forehead. I heard the sigh she heaved when she reached the part of the sidewalk shaded by my shadow. She must have liked it there in the shade, because she lingered beneath my branches for a few minutes. She was examining the school and wondering what it was like on the inside. She was wondering how it would be for her. I could tell that she was looking forward to the opening of school. The fact that no one had made an attempt to become acquainted yet didn't bother her too much. Oh, she had her secret fears, but her hopes were stronger. She thought that people were just naturally unfriendly to all strangers, and as soon as school started she would make a lot of friends, she knew: so Jane dared to dream on. A class was over and students began to come out, so Jane walked on. You'd think they wouldn't have noticed, but one of the girls chanced 121 110101 vioioioioi r1o11r3o1n1u101oio14 14 if 1030301031 11010101021 SAY YOU SAW HIS AD IN THE HQUILL 4vio1oio1o1011 SAMS IEWELRY STORE 417 21st Street Phone 2-4031 Opposite State Theater IACK SPARKS' COLLEGE INN FOOD HOUSE 1001 INIechanic Dial 2-2013 NU GRAPE SODA SUN CREST ORANGE TRIPLE XXX ROOT BEER RED ROCK COLA 2-WAY ILEMONI Bottled By NU GRAPE BOTTLING CO.

Being loyal to a criminal! No, and just think, she'll be going to school here this year and might sit next to one of us. 'fNot me, if I can help itfl I was glad when they were gone. Their talk was stifling. The day grew hotter, the ground was scorching and dry. The voices of those thoughtless girls kept echoing back and forth, and then the ex- pression on Janeys face would come to me. Oh, those thoughtless girls! VVe had an early fall this year. By the beginning of school my branches were already a little lighter, and the leaves that still clung had already changed their summer green for the reds and browns of autumn. It was good to see all of the familiar faces together once again. They all seemed willing enough to begin a new school year, but everywhere there were still remnants of summer. Most everyone wore a coat of sun tan left over from vacation, and they carried with them the atmosphere of summer freedomg though some had a more serious, determined expression in their eyes than was there when school had closed. There were a lot of faces that I missed-the faces of those who had graduated and gone on into the world. But there was an equal number of new faces. I looked for Jane, but it was a whole week before I saw her. The lunch bell rang, which stirred up the whole school at once. A group of laughing girls had assembled under my branches to eat their lunches and exchange experiences. f'Gee, Betty, wasn't that the worst history test you've ever taken?,' Oh, it wasn't too bad, but I think it was mean of Miss Rodgers to pop it on us without a warning. Oh, Rose, you should be in my English class. You know, that cute Richard Brown is in there, and today the teacher moved us around and he sits right behind me. I can't wait until English period now.

She was alone, walking along as if she were not concerned about the others, as if she were alone of her own choosing. But I caught the hungry look in her eye. She had obviously eaten her lunch, it wasn't food for which she hungered. I watched the expression on her face and could see her mustering up courage as she approached the little group under me. They were girls in her class and she had made up her mind to be very friendly to them, and maybe they would ask her to join them. But when she reached them, all she could force out was a weak Hhel1o and a timid smile. They turned toward her, said their dutiful hellos, and turned away. As I was saying, Betty, you must come home with me after school so I can show you my new formalf' Jane walked on and disappeared through the door. A wind came up, and I sprayed them with my dryest leaves. The bell rang and they went in, laughing and brushing leaves from their hair. 21 is Pls Dk Pk The winter was bitter. My bare branches made a harsh outline against the cold sky. Almost every leaf had died, and in Jane some- thing had died, too. She came to school and went home immediately after school, always keeping to herself. I-Ier only interest was in her studies. She worked hard and made top rank grades. She had come to realize a lot of things. To her, our school was filled with nothing but selfish, snobbish girls and conceited, thoughtless boys. So why should she even bother about themg why should she care if they were her friends or not? 'Why should she? But she did. School was dismissed and Jane started home bareheaded. It was colder outside than she had anticipated, so while carrying her books in one hand, she tried to tie her scarf with the other. A gust of wind picked it up and carried it away before she knew what was happening. Turning around to retrieve it, she was confronted with the smiling face of Alfred Gerrick. In his hand was a blue scarf exactly like the one that had just blown away from her. Dropped something, he smiled. Oh, thank you. The wind really surprised me. Here, let me hold your books while you put it on. I haven't seen anyone yet who could tie a knot with one hand. V I guess it was kind of silly of me to try. Jane put the scarf on as carefully and slowly as she could. She wanted these few minutes to last. just think, here was Alfred Gerrick holding her books! But Alfred made no attempt to surrender them.

Maybe he already knew! I-Iadn't she known his name before he told her? But then, everyone knew Alfred. No, she was sure he didn't know the difference yet, he was still smiling and talking. She was glad now she had acted on impulse. H Ki For one afternoon, at least, she could be someone. Their voices trailed off as they disappeared down the street, but still they lingered in my thoughts. I wondered about them, and I Wanted to know that which had been impossible for me to see or hear. I was certain that I would find out sooner or later, though, and I did. By the time they had reached Jane's block, Jane knew that Alfred loved tennis, and dancing, and springtime, and football, and that alge- bra was his weak subject, and Alfred knew that Jane loved tennis but needed a little coaching, and that she loved dancing, and springtime, and football games, too, and that she made her best grades in algebra and would be glad to explain anything any time. They reached Jane's house all too soon for Jane. 'AThis is where I livef' she announced as she stopped at her gate.

Alfred would find out who she was tomorrow. If he didn't, she would probably tell him herself, because it wasn't fair. In spite of the hollow feeling she felt inside and in spite of the pity she felt for herself, that evening when she prepared the supper there was a lightness in her heart and she sang as she set the table. Her mother would be home from work in a few minutes, and she was debating whether or not to tell her the part about the name when the telephone interrupted her thoughts. The phone hardly ever rang at her house. She couldnit imagine-- 'fHello ? May I speak to jane, please ? It was a boy's voice. I-Ier heart jumped. It was Alfredls voice. She knew it was Alfred.

The early breezes whirl and play As the sleeping earth slowly hearkens - To the call of the new day.

I was getting disgusted. Then the day arrived when I was allowed to work on a real composition for the first time. I worked zealously every day, and at the end of one month I played the piece for my teacher. I-Ie had but one comment, Back to the scalesf, After a few more months of scales, I learned a number of compo- sitions which, my teacher thought, were good enough to be played in a recital, so a hall was procured, and on the fateful night of De- cember 16 I made my debut. I was sweating blood, and my teacher was a bit nervous too. We were both breaking each other's necks to see who would look between the curtains first to see the crowd coming in. At precisely 9:30 we were ready to begin. The concert was scheduled for 8:00 o'clock. The house was packed with relatives, teachers, two janitors, and twenty men from the finance company. It seems the piano wasn't paid for. I nervously walked out, took a bow, and commenced to torture the poor unfortunates who were gath- ered to hear what they thought was going to be a recital. I Things went well, and at 11:00 o'clock I took my last liquid bow CI was float- ing in perspirationl, and swam off the stage. Everyone left except Mom and Dad, who were trying to commit suicide when I stopped them. Such was my first recital. Concert after concert followed this first attempt, and soon every- one in Galveston knew the lanky fellow who liked to make like Rach- maninofff' There was a lot of hard work behind all of those concerts, and I was proud of my achievements, small as they were. Time passed and I was growing old. I went to Paris where I stud- ied under the great Shmojinsky, and then I began a tour of the world. New York, London, Berlin, Rome, Vienna, Moscow . . . I toured them all. I was invited to play before the king of Lower Slobbovia, but he found out at the last minute that I was already married and didnit need a sweet lovable girl from there to keep house for me. I had twenty-one children, one more than Bach. That was my greatest achievement in life. When I died I was buried in Southminster Abbey. The west wing hadn't been constructed as yet. And now, as I look down from my lofty position in heaven, I wonder if someone hasn't made a mistake and given me a ticket to the wrong place. Music did much for me. It gave me an appreciation for the better things in life, and it also gave me quite a headache. But I'm glad I pursued music as my life's 133 1 1 111 1 1 1 111oir1oio1o111o1111x1 3111111110 vi Compliments of I.

Until then, to quote my teacher, Back to the scales !', A '7!w Sea by Sue Seelhorst The sea has many moods and seems to be a reflection of man's emotions. g It runs its greedy fingers along the shore, dragging the reluctant shells and sands back into its dark and secret depths. It will rage in sudden, violent anger, swallowing the lives of many men, or raise its gigantic arms proudly to reach for the stars, and then crash and roll into a sigh in its frustration. Though the sea may be as still and as smooth as a mirror, beneath its serene, shining surface the turbulence and violence of its might still lurks. As man's expressions show his mood through his eyes, brows, mouth, and his gestures, so the waves indicate the mood of the sea. When the sea is calm and resting, then the waves are mere whispers on the sands of the beach and murmur their contentment. 'VVhen the sea is playful, the waves begin to swell, grow, and toss their spray in the air, laughing. When it has been offended, it will roll in sullen swells and break upon the beach with a deep, ominous boom. The sea is as vain as a beautiful woman. On a bright, cloudless day it will lie in smooth calmness and let the sun drop diamonds on its bosom. At night, in its black, satiny splendor, it will hug its re- flection of the stars to its breast and catch between its gentle swells the reflection of the moon, and if there is no moon, it will make up for its absence by tossing phosphorus in its large sprays. It is strange that the Creator of all the universe created His ruler of the earth Cmanj and the most powerful force of the earth in such close similarity. In the sea we observe the might and beauty of God. - We happened to sneak a glance at a note being passed in Mrs. White's second period Latin class.
