How true it is, when we consider the history, the traditions and the customs of a. school where for four years of identical interests there has been the closest relations. In this little hook the history of our four years has been sketched, and we present herein our cher- ished memories-memories of honest purpose and of hours lightly spentg of high ideals and of idle jest--which, taken together, comprise a. memory that will ever remain one of the dear- est in life-the thought of our school days.

VVhether this growth is rapid or whether left to barely live, or perhaps die, depends entirely upon the thrift of the community and the body of men, the trustees, left in charge. Consider with me, a few minutes, the change in condition of the schools in '1884 and now, and I will leave it with you to decide whether there has been a rapid growth, and also to form your opinion as to the kind of men that must have had charge of education here. In 1884, provision was made for two buildings, the old Fireman Hall and the Negro Odd Fellow Hall, to be used for schools. There were seven grades to be taught by five white and three negro teach- ers. In 1889 the eighth grade was added, and the following year, the ninth. Funds were scarce and consequently it was not possible to have a nine-months' session. For a time there was no superinten- dent. This was also due to lack of funds. Affiliation with the State University was und1'eamed of. We had a school but that was about allg we had no rank. Beginning in the fall of 1898, there was a steady improvement: a Superintendent was put in charge, school buildings were erected of brick with all modern improvements, and sufficient funds were appropriated for their maintenance. A larger corps of teachers was added each year until the number has reached 98. What a change has taken place! Now we are classed by the University as a school of the first rank, and we are not only affiliated with the Texas Col- leges, but also with Chicago, Tulane, Washington and Lee, etc. From the enrollment of 427 in 1884 we now have 44100. Our graduates number in all 300. lNIany of these now hold posi- tions of responsibility, for which their excellent training in our Beau- mont Schools has equipped them. 8 8 . u Z QQ Q 2 F14 li ,Ga S4 x EQ .

Since this memorable occasion the little party has broken up, and now the former constituents of this once glo- rious union are scattered throughout the earth. Miss Merta Jones is the alias of that popular girl we used to know. She is now known, honored and obeyed as Mrs. Eastham. VVe extend our heartfelt sympathies to her many unsuccessful suitors. Miss Mary Greer is now a student at the Texas University. Mary was one of the most popular girls in the school, and we are sure she is equally popular in her new surroundings. Miss Helen Blewett, one of the prettiest girls i11 the class, is one of those now making their home in Beaumont, but we have it from good authority that her thoughts are often centered somewhere way down in old Virginia. We say this with due apologies to a certain young gentleman of this city. Miss Verna I-Iooks, the noblest 'poet' of them all, is attending school at Belmont College. We were expecting her to follow in the footsteps of Merta, but our expectations were seemingly ungrounded for she says her mind is yet open. Our graceful little dancer, Miss Neanie Wheat, remains faithful to her home city. She is now debating with herself the question r VVho shall it be, a doctor, lawyer or a 'doubting' Thomas? VVe trust the question will be amicably settled between all parties con- cerned. Miss Marie Shattuck is another who remains with us, but we share but little of her time, as she is generally engaged in reading large, yellow manuscripts, which come by parcel post from a little sawmill town in Louisiana. Among the many pretty girls who have left us is Miss Emily Robertson, who now lives in Montclair, N. J. She was one of the best liked girls in the class and her absence' is keenly felt by everyone. 14 L he L I-T ',.3 , F The Pine 'Burr I Another attractive member of the class of '12 now residing in Beau- mont is Miss Alice Kent. She is very popular in the younger society circles, and a classmate of whom we are justly proud. Miss Daisy VVells has decided that she is especially adapted to the work of moulding the mind of the young, and she is now working at her vocation in one of the city schools, much to the disappointment of a certain Dir. Thomas previously mentioned. There is a rumor that Miss Louise Andrews is to be a bride on her next birthday, and we hereby extend our congratulations to the for- tunate groom-to-be. A Miss Thekla Harrison is teaching in the city schools, taking an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth-sometimes two teeth-this being one of the rules of conduct required by the board for admission to the faculty. hir. Stewart ltlartin, alias Sleepy, is picking splinters out of saw teeth in a lumber mill at Merryville, La., that is, when he is not busy writing odes to a certain young lady in Beaumont. The University of Virginia is now the camping ground of, VVillis Maxsion. VVhen he is not on the athletic field or participating in a soiree he puts in a little time on those subjects so dear to every stu- dent's heart--mathematics, science, history and literature. Biac says he cannot stay away from Beaumont much longer and we are looking for him any day. VVilliam Stanley is assimilating the rudiments of Blackstone and incidentally teaching Texas University students' the proper way to pole-vault. Along with him in his law studies toddles ruddy-faced George Nlasterson, the wit of the class of '12. George VVilkinson attended Rice Institute in Houston for some time, but decided he liked iron-working better. He is now draughts- man in an iron foundry in Houston, where he expects to make a mil- lion in the next three or four years, at the expiration of which time he intends to lead her to the altar. Our debater, Everett Haycraft, has removed to VVashington, D. C., where he is studying law. 15 The Pine Burr Thomas Kelly is supervising a class in railroad construction. He seems very much impressed with the choice epithets of some of his underlings, and is seriously contemplating the organization of a class in oratory, wherein their talent may have a chance for development. VVorking along the same line as Kelly, we find Pledger Eastham. He expects to be president of the Frisco some day. Clyde McAnelly takes a thief out every morning and steals a little oil from all the tanks of the Magnolia Petroleum Company in the south end of Beaumont. To be explicit, he is gauger for the above named corporation. Hutt Reed, president of the class of '12, is engaged in the con- struction of a gravel road in Orange County, and incidentally grow- ing a beard that will be a good protection against the attacks of mos- quitoes later in the season. y , David Sobel, mathematical prodigy, is attending the State A. Sz M. College. His first request on reaching the school was that he be shown the cow that gave buttermilkl-and he was shown. 1 Theo Tusa, the walkin g fashion plate, attended Tulane for a while, but his eyes became so weakened by the glare of the Crescent City that he was compelled to return to Beaumont, where he purposes becoming a medicine man, or to be exact, a physician. Benjamin Irby, poet laureate and otherwise distinguished scholar, is now learning to be a first-class real estate salesman. It is said that he can convince a prospective buyer of real estate that an inundated swamp is a French boulevard. Tie is now in the office of his father. Eric Carroll is official taster at a local bakery. This accounts for his notable increase in corpulence. Harry VValker has removed to Houston, where his talent as alma- chinist will be given an opportunity to develop. Harry says the Houston society is what attracts him most, though-too slow for him in Beaumont. Miss Irby Lockhart is now living in Ore City, Texas. She has the distinction of being the belle of her city. Misses Ethel Sparks, Mary Brinson, Ida Fehl and Goldie Fields 16 The Pine Burr are now residing in Beaumont. We recently heard that two of the above were seriously contemplating Inatrimony and one will probably have adopted a new cognomen by the time this goes to print. Jake Serafino is serving in the capacity of chauffeur to his father. .Take says he can make the benzine boat do anything but talk. Folyd Spurlock collects money where others fail. He is official clean-up man for the Beaumont Enterprise-that is, he cleans up bad debts. Bliss Mabel Goodman lingers in Beaumont still. However, s11e is non-committal regarding her affairs and will not divulge her plans for the future. Miss Ruth Adams and Miss Goldamae Britton can be seen on Pearl street almost any afternoon. Goldie's dimple is the most cov- teted thing in town. - We saw Miss Ona Carroll in a local picture show a short time ago. She was accompanied by a very pretty girl-a relative, we suppose, as beauty runs in the family. VVe tried to get an introduction to the new girl, but found that we were not qualified for the honor. Miss Grace Cha1'lton, the avowed enemy of one I. H. H., is tak- ing out her spite on a typewriter in a local office. Coy Thomas Bright takes his daily promenade down Pearl street, and in justice to his efforts we venture- the assertion that he is the neatest dressed youngster in town. Box-earn Buddie Harder is connected with the Gulf Pipe Line Company in Beaumont, and he has the reputation of being the most industrious employe in their fold. Misses Helen Fitzgerald and Nona Hamilton, our two smiling coquettes, continue to disturb the hearts of several Beaumont youths. 'Twas ever thus. Miss Kiber and Miss Duperier-you cannot speak of one without the other-are daily contributors to the cause of the local picture shows, and no one can blame them, as we would all do the same if we had the silver. ' VVe expected to have the pleasure of reading an article in one of 17 .,, Y The Pine Burr the national weeklies by Miss Ruby Ruth Pond but so far none has appeared. Perhaps the young man with whom she goes quite often takes too much of her time. She is teaching at the South Park School. Miss Dorothy Kohn is attending school at San Marcos, and after she has finished her course in pedagogy she will probably accept a position as teacher in the Beaumont schools. Miss Leah Josey, literateur, is now the possessor of one of those things popularly known as a husband. She is living in Sh1'CVCP01't, La. Miss Nettie Plumb and llliss Juanita llloore are attending school at the University of Texas. They chose this school for the reason that only here would their exceptional talent be appreciated. lNIiss Margaret Fitzgerald has decided to dicker with the hearts of the young men residing in the vicinity of that great southern metrop- olis, Amelia, Texas. . Miss Madeline Wallace is laying the foundations of a great com- mercial enterprise at Call, Texas. Miss Olive Axelson is aiding the color-blind to make up their minds what they want. She is a clerk for the local firm of Rosenthal Dry Goods Company. Again one of our number breaks into the married column in the person of Miss Lucille Blake-we do not know her recently acquired surname. llliss Ora Holland lives in Beaumont, but after the wedding, which takes place shortly, she will remove to-but then she asked us not to tell, so we will not. Some of our members have left without' due warning as to their prospective homes, and we haven't the least idea where they now re- sideg all we can do for these lost sheep is to wish them Godspeed, and a safe return to their fold. 18 The Pino Burr C S IS T0 GEYFYI TB.H. 5. luw .SENIO A713- 19 I T The Pine Burr Edward Brown. . .

Al- though the class was not permitted to organize until the present year, the members were always held together by their loyalty and class spirit. They have always been loyal to the school and are held in respect by teachers and pupils for their good work, in school and in athletics. Among its members are some of the brightest students in the school and the giant of the campus is a member of the Junior Class. Permis- sion was obtained to organize the class in '1912 and a meeting was held for the purpose of electing officers. Norbert Garrity was elected president, Benita Land vice-president, Gilbert Sutton secretary and Guy Cheesman, treasurer. The colors, pink and gray, were chosen, with the pink rose as class flower. At a meeting held Tuesday, April 29, 1913, for the purpose of electing officers for the senior year, Guy Cheesman was elected president, Marie Gibson vice-president, Richard Sanders secretary and Norbert Garrity treasurer. Everyone acquaint- ed with the class predicts a good future for us and every member of the class is doing his best to fulfill the prophecy. 39 The Pine Bu 7' 7' HIGH JUNIORS 40 I The Pine Bur HIGH JUNIORS 41 The Pine Burr ifaisturp nf into ihminrs ' The Low Juniors do not form a very large class, but anyway it is quality and not quantity that counts. In entering High School we were numerous but each year a number dropped out. How la1'ge We felt when Freshmen, bigger, perhaps, than we will ffeel when Seniors. Now to show the others a thing or two and give Beaumont High School one more class, from beginning to end. And regular- we'won the prize for having least number of absents for a month, and were given a treat to the movies Theonly thing we were slow about was i11 organizing and we put this off until our junior year. Tom VVilson was elected president, Nita Brock, vice-president, Annie Lanier,'secretary, and Lottie Ligon, treasu1'e1'. We are now fully equipped and ready for what is before us. It is not unknown to us that the way is not easy and that there are many obstacles to be over- come, but we intend to make the next year and a half bright and pros- perous, and enjoy them as we have those years behind us. 42 LOW JUNIORS Tl QQ 5 SOP M 53? The Pine Burr ilaisturp uf the bnpbumure Qlllassi VV e, the pupils of the Second Year High School, in order to force a more perfect union, saw fit on March 27th, to organize ourselves into one body, thus becoming the Sophomore Class of 1913. This is the second time that any class in the Beaumont High School has organ- ized in its sophomore year. Heretofore, some members have failed in their attempt to face their troubles aloneg but now even the greatest, difficulties are successfully overcome by this, the largest and most intellectual sophomore class in the history of the Beaumont High School. So far life has not yet be- come too crowded with the pleasures and activities to cause us to neg- lect the study of our text books, thus antagonizing the teachers, and it is the sincere wish of every sophomore that the time will never come. And now that we are passing from Sophs to Juniors, from Caesar to Cicero, and from good students to better, we hope that those who come after us will follow in our footsteps. VVe assert with all due humility, that they can never break our record. There are no freshman classes in the Beaumont High School, as it is against the rules and regulations for any class to organize until the sophomore year. 45 HIGH SOPHOMORES Vi '51 Q U s. -Q Q Cb be fe 5 Q .

S3 The Pine Burr Qtbletic Zlssuniatinn in Ziaigb Qcbnul Throughout the world in all our higher institutions, athletics has be- come an important factor in school life. It is necessary to be able to discuss literature, algebra, history, and so on, but it is also essential to the success of such subjects to have a strong body. The medium through which this is accomplished is athletics. Several years ago an Athletic Association was organized at Beau- mont High School. Last year a committee was appointed by the chairman for the purpose of drafting a constitution. This committee, after several weeks' work, presented a constitution to the association for ratification. After much discussion and amending it was finally adopted. It was to be the purpose of the association to 6I1COLl1'ElgC all branches of athletics, and help everybody to qualify in some of the sports, the political power extending over the girls as Well as the boys. It was also to be a means of keeping a systematic record of all athletic events, and to be a basis for the different sports to center around. This year the association was revived and the following officers, which the constitution provided for, were elected: President, VVeber Ogdeng vice-president, Katherine Stafford, secretary, Blewett Che- naultg treasurer, Edward Browng auditor, Hallie Read Greer. For the year ending June 6th, 1913, the reports are very favorable for a continuation of this association. 54 The Pine Burr Zltblztics in IB. Ia. 9. The scholastic year 1911-12 was the brightest in the athletic fields ever seen for Beaumont High. Its all-star football team, composed of Wilkinson, Applegate, M asterson, Roberts, Kelly, Benckenstein, Tusa, Stanley, Reed, Meagher, Maxson and Brown, was a victorious machine and without a peer in the State in the interscholastic class, academies included. Although without a regular coach, they were ably assisted by Muller of L. S. U. and Reed of Virginia. By hard, steady Work, they developed into a formidable unit, both of offense and defense. The defense was so strong that during the entire season only once was their goal line crossed. This was in the Thanks- giving game with Houston when, in the first three minutes of play Houston recovered the ball on a fluke pass and bingled it across. Old Mad, was there with the goods, however, and in the third quarter made a sixty-five-yard run and tied the score. Beaumont defeated Houston in Houston to the tune of 11 to 0, and won from Orange, Lake Charles, Port Arthur, etc., thus annexing the championship of Southeast Texas and Louisiana. p Zllrack in 1911212 The track team, composed of Maxson, Stanley, VVilkinson, Shell, lVIartin,. Brown, Carroll, Eastham and Cheesman, again succeeded in winning the championship of the State in the meet at Austin, while Fort Wo1'th managed to score two more points at A. Sz lVI. Because of this, we challenged the winners to a dual meet in this city, offering to pay all expenses. This challenge was turned down and Beaumont claimed the honor. There were no baseball and basketball teams organized. 55 The Pine Burr Jfnuthall, 1912 Because of these honors carried off last year, the hope for another successful year in 11912-13 was bright, but the school's glory was -not upheld. In football we lost Maxson, who made good at Virginia, Reed, Stanley, Tusa, VVilkinson and Masterson by graduation, and Meagher, Ba.ylor's quarterback, and Applegate, because they quit school here. There remained only Brown, Captain 1912, Kelly, cen- terg Roberts, captaing Benckenstein, tackle, and Subs Cheesman and Gripon. VV ith these as a nucleus, Captain Brown hoped to gather a winning aggregation, but was doomed to disappointment. The team won three, lost four, and tied one. Three were lost because ulucku was favoring our opponents--the last Houston game and the two with Port Arthur. The B men were Brown, captaing Ogden, manager, Roberts, Burrell, Chenault, Bettis, Garrity, Shepherd, Kelly, Carpen- ter, Benckenstein, Cheesman, Piland and Gripon. SCORES.

Gough of T. C. U. was with us the whole season and put forth every effort to produce a winning team, but the lack of school spirit and the small number of try-outs made it a hard task for him. Toward the last of the season, Goodhue, an old Beaumont star of the University of Virginia, offered to aid us. Under the two coaches, for the rest of the season, the team improved wonderfully, and made a good showing in the last game. Had the material been what it should have, with the coaching we received, Beaumont would have turned out a winning team. And to the coaches We are grateful for the good work they gave us and for the time and effort spent with us. S7 FOOT BALL TEAM gf cogff I' X 0 , , QSKETBPA' KD The Pine Burr iaasket mall Basketball prospects for 1913 were bright indeed, and practice was held in the Y. lil. C. A. gym. Brown was elected captain, with Gripon as manager. Mr. Kuckert, Physical Director of the Y. M. C. A., was a great aid to the team, not only in giving valuable points about the game, but also in permitting the boys to use the gym at every opportu- nity. On account of sickness, one of our best guards, Guy Cheesman, star end for 11912, had to give up the game and leave town for his health. Piland's people objected to his leaving town for the trips, so he quit the ranks. Thus left crippled three days before the first game, the team somewhat lost spirit, but went on a four-days' trip to Houston and Huntsville. Houston had the best High School team that has ever played basketball and it was no disgrace to be defeated by them, even by a great margin. At Huntsville, although handicapped by playing on an out-door court, the boys succeeded in winning by a good score. Considering the trip as a whole, it was a g1'eat advantage to the team in seeing other organizations. The following Saturday, Houston came to Beaumont and in two fast and exciting games again defeated the Purple and VVhite. Big Sette, Thompson and Eckhart are hard to beat in throwing goals, as they can't miss, while Secor and Dittmar are heady, fast guards, and Blaine is a good all-round utility. For the home team Brown and Roberts held down the center posi- tion, with Sneedfand, VVilson forwards and Gripon and Carpenter guards. All' were good men in ordinary basketball but were out- classed by the Houston aggregation. Considering that they, Hous- ton, defeated the A. Sz M. regulars to the tune of 26-22, it does not make one feel bad to get it rubbed in by the Black and Orange. We scored as much on them as A. Sz M. did, and that's going some. The letter meni' for 1913 in basketball were E. Brown, H. Rob- erts, S. VVilson, C. Sneed, L. Gripon and H. Carpenter. 60 - s . s Q tv N an 2 L Q3 2 S4 BOYS' BASKET BALL TEAM The Pine Burr 5 ?

After training about two weeks, they went to Orange and were snowed under in a dual meet with that city by a score ,of 7 6-46. They did not go to the Austin meet, on account of the bankrupt condition of the Athletic Association, but feel that they could have made a good showing. A There was a- later meet at Orange, where the championship of Southeast Texas was at stake. The Houston team had no trouble winning by a large margin. While Beaumont did not come out last, they did not make an extra good showing, on account of their not be- ing in condition for it. McConnico and Strachn annexed Beaumont's points. girls' Basket Ball The older girls of the High School were somewhat slow in organ- izing the basketball team, since most of them were seniors and were busily engaged in heightening or finding their intellect. But the athletic spirit could not be subdued. They, in a very quiet and digni- fied manner, met and elected their manager and captain. Under the a.uspices of their excellent coach, Miss Nfarguerite Bedell, they devel- oped wonderful skill in their chosen avocation. The gentlemen of the High School reason that girls are not capable of receiving letters, but when they see seven of the members sporting an enormous B on the front of a middy blouse, perhaps they'll change their opin- io11s.

Returning good for evil may be a good thing, but you can not convince little VVillie VVeakling that it is. When you hear Willie's tale of woe, you cannot blame him much.

The next morning when Willie left for school, he carried in his hand a lot of cakes wrapped up in tissue paper, and tied with pink baby ribbon. These cakes were to make the mean Riley boy ashamed of himself. VVhen VVillie came home that afternoon, he was crying at the top of his voice. His eyes were black, his nose was bleeding and his lip split. My child! VVhat is the matter? cried the terrified mother.

M. 69 The Pine Burr SOUTH LOSES IN HARD-FOUGHT GAME SOUTHERNERS LOSE OUT IN LAST INNING-LEE OUT- PITCHES GRANT In a hard-fought battle, Lee's Southerners lost to Grant's Yankees by the close score of five to four. The game, featured by great plays, in which Lee played the most important part, was watched with inter- est by the whole country, as it was the last time these players were to face each other. The men fought with vim and vitality, and often came to blows, only to be calmed by the umpire, Lincoln, who was right on the job. Jackson was accidentally injured in the fifth inning and retired, leaving the South in a crippled condition. The Confederates were the first to score. Lee flew out to cente1', then Jackson caught one of Grant's curves and sent it flying over the -fence and into the creek of Bull Run. This made Grant pitch much harder, but Albert Sidney Johnston hit one up against the church at Shiloh and was thrown out, trying to stretch his great three-bagger into a home run. The Confederates again scored in the third inning, when Lee drove the sphere into deep center for two bases, and scored on J ackson's second hit over the fence into Bull Run Creek. The Federals scored in the third also, when McClellan tripled to right and scored on Burnside's sacrifice fly. The Dixie Lads again tallied in the fifth inning, when Lee hit the Chancellorsville shoesign for three bases. Hooker made a desperate attempt to catch Lee's drive, but was unsuccessful. Jackson then poled out his third hit much farther tha11 that of Lee, and sent old Hooker on the run, but as he QJacksonj rounded third base, he was hit by a ball pitched by some Confederates who were warming up at the time, severely in- juring him. In the sixth Lee's spitter was effective and he struck out Mc- Dowell, McClellan and Burnside, while in the last half McCulloch 70 . .l The Pine Burr was given a base on balls, VVharton made a great sacrifice, McCulloch stole third, Bragg came up and hit a line drive toward the Chicama- gua Paint Company's sign. Rosecrans made a bad piece of judg- ment and mis judged it, but Thomas made a running catch and dou- bled McCulloch at third. In the seventh inning, when J. E. Johnston came up to bat, Sher- man, the heavy-set catcher for the visitors, insulted him and a fight started, Johnston being much smaller, retreated, Sherman following. Then Johnston stopped to hit Sherman, but Lee was very mad at the way Johnston did and put him out of the game, Hood taking his place. As the end of the eighth came around, the Dixie lads were three runs to the good, but in the 9th Lee weakened just a little and al- lowed Thomas to single to right and Meade walked. Lee's control was getting bad and he hit Hooker. Grant fouled three and then hit one on the nose and sent it over the fence toward the Appomattox Court House for a home run, clearing the bases and thus breaking up a good game.

It is the first day of April, in the glorious year of nineteen hun- dred and thirteen. Every room has settled down for the work of this period, every student has prepared himself to begin his lesson. Scarcely a sound is heard, not even three industrious jokers, who, as so many mice, slip softly down the corridor. This silence, why does it last? It does not last--for lol the gong sounds, once, twice, thrice. The door of every room is opened and out come pupils, teachers, books, coats, hats, gloves, and other students' possessions such as powder, mirrors, hair pins and shoe buttoners. Here comes the Latin teacher, followed by the history teacher and all the other teach- ers. The pupils see the joke, the teachers see the jokeg the pupils smile, the teachers smile. The scene changes! The smiling countenanees of the four hundred disappear as a frowning face appears in the doorway. This face and the owner of this face is well known by all B. H. S. students. Again the bell sounds. Slowly, slowly, pu- pils, teachers and belongings file back to pick up the threads of broken work. The d1'ill is over for the majority-but .for three little students the fun is just commencing! E. L. D. 72 The .Pine Bu-rr Qin a brains Shall I, as is the case with many men, Assurance make to you without a halt- As to my self I very oft have been Tempted to think-that you are without fault? How well I mind me of the wintry day VVhen first your radiant smile my vision led To note the roseate blush, the maddening play Of tangled curls soft-clustered round your head. It was a startling beauty, free and wild, Untrammeled by a thought of art or careg The deep and pondering eyes of a dear child Looked forth, as at a world of wonder rare. I loved you when I saw you, but since then I've learned to look far deeper, without fear Of finding aught which from my pen could Win One word away that I have written here. Your beauty, child, is great, but still ,tis less Than that sincerity of heart and mind, That purity of thought, that gentleness VVe always love, but do not always find. To call you friend,-it is to feel, in joy A pulsing sympathy of quick delight Though 'twere expressed by your dark eyes alone VVhere sunshine sparkles in the midst of night! 73 Th Pine Burr If sorrow came, and filled my life with woe, How quickly, then, my thoughts to you would turn: You are so warm and tender, you would know How deep the hurt had been, how sore the burn. And thus, in joy or pain, I'll love you still, And wish for you the best that Earth can yield: And what could be too sweet for Life to will To one who may such magic influence wield? P. M.

I know he was generous and-Witty and nice, But is he the only one made in this wise? He was strong and dependable, loving and true- But others will be, when they come to love you. Of sweet, blissful hours I've had quite a few And oft have I thought that Iid be very blue If fate should come forward and thrust us apart- But here's to the next one who rules o'er my heart: His eyes may be brown, or his eyes may be blue, VVhat matter the shade, so they're honest and true?

VVe thank you for the interest which has prompted your presence here this afternoon-an interest which we feel has sup- ported our entire school life. For no school system could have a better backing than that of Beaumont. The civic and educational projects of our citizens are known throughout this and other states. There is no cause that claims from you such whole-souled interest and loyalty. Indeed, in what more vital cause could your energy be enlisted? For both children and trees must be given more attention than any- thing else. The good Old Book says: The tree of the field is man's life. Now, there are trees and trees and there are men and men. The trees that grow in the thickets of the jungle and forest very seldom attain their full development. They are lean, crooked and dwarfed. If they are fruit trees, they bear some insipid and wild berry, of no earthly use to man. How different, however, are the trees cultivated by the nurseryman. They may grow straight and tall, furnishing good timber, or they may bear luscious fruits that are a delight to the eye and palate. The same holds true of jman. If, as a boy, he is not taken care of and educated, he very seldom accrues to the full benefit of manhood. Not so is the well-edu- cated and cared-for child. He, guided by the wisdom of teachers and parents, grows to a full stature of mankind, becomes a useful member of society, and a patriotic son of his country. You, friends, have performed the duties of the nurseryman, taking care of the tenderest of all plants-children. Therefore, we owe you a debt of gratitude that can scarcely be expressed in words. May you be granted to reap the reward of your labor in that field of usefulness, the seed of which will have been planted by your many and many pupils. Therefore, in the name of my classmates, sixty strong, I welcome you who have honored us by your presence. We ask for your kind indulgence during our short program, with which we hope you will be pleased. KARL SCHWARTZ, Salutato1'ia.n, '13. 79 The Pine Burr Qlllass Cltssap LITTLE RIVERS, From over the hills and far away come. the voices of the little rivers as they leave their home far back in the heart of the shadowy forests where they were cradled. VVe may trace each pure current to its source, for, as Seneca says, where a spring rises, or a river flows, there we should build altars and offer sacrifices. Here is the stillness of a shrine, forever radiant. For who does not erect an altar of remembrance to the loves and memories of earliest child- hood? Here we listen to the music of old familiar tender voicesg here we seek and find the motive power or dynamics of home and school life, determining the current of our destinies-even as the little rivers, under the guidance of nature's great law, follow their destined course, descending at last to the ancient sea. How like the sounds of such little rivers, merry and free, are our own voices echoing from the glad haunts of childhood, through the wild ways of youth, in time gathering strength from many t1'ibuta- ries for the work of the world, and passing on into the great deep. VVhat a picture of brotherhood and companionableness do they give us as they join forces and seek a common goal. Each has its indi- viduality, ministering to the pleasures and needs of the big world in a different way. One may ripple between even banks, a resort of joyg another tumbles in picturesque wildness, whose power helps to run the wheels of commerce of a nation. Some are -secluded from the rush of life, others serve as vehicles of vast business interests. But however different, they always show a readiness to mingle one with the other, and in this co-operation to progress in an advancing current. How eloquent is this of the sympathy of aim in all under- lying principles which should mark our relations each to each. Wliat of our relations to the larger area of life about us? Little rivers are not expected to bear huge navies on their breasts or to supply a hundred thousand horsepower to the factories of a mon- strous city. Nor are we expected to ape Atlas in bearing the world upon our shoulders. It is enough that where these waters flow, the desert blooms, and the wilderness becomes glad. The waste places of earth become fertile and beautiful. Upon the banks of these waters, pure and clear as crystal, grow trees forever green and for- ever fruitful, whose leaves are for the healing of the nations. Just as one, tracing back these sweet waters, sees how beauty has come into being on the border of the desert, so may the influence of our advanc- ing lives refresh the life around us, sweeten its sorrows and soothe its pains, developing its fullest powers, and flowering in immortal beauty. MARGARET MENTON. so Class Essayist, '13, ! The Pi7Z8.B'Lb7'?' Station THE LAND DIVIDED, TI-IE VVORLD UNITED. In days to come, the pages of histo1'y will mark a milestone i11 the progress of the western trend of civilization in the completion of the Panama Canal, January 1, 1915. The idea of the canal has been four hundred years in materializing since its first glimmer in the brain of a Spanish engineer, whose project was left to the dust of the upper shelf. VVhy? Because the friars whom the king ordered to look into the matter, being unable to fathom the problem, re- ported that the Bible forbade it in the statement, VVhat God hath joined together, let no man put asunderf' For three centuries the Isthmus was the golden gateway of Spain. Through this region of romance and charm passed the gold, silver and jewels of the Inca temples and palaces, and floods of Peruvian treasure. Spain, Eng- land, Portugal and France successively conceived and abandoned the idea of a canal on account of lack of funds, and of engineering and medical facilities. To the United States was left the world's greatest engineering feat, the magnitude of which tries the imagi- nation and teases thought-a monument to the genius, pride and ambition of the American people. ' But shall we rest satisfied in the glory of our achievement and content ourselves merely with praise and celebration of this day as a gala event in history? Let us not forget the practical steps nec- essary to utilize this great advantage. Energy, effort and great sums of money are required to get ready for the opening of our inter-oceanic canal. With this opening must come a new era for Texas. Her proximity gives her at the very start an advantage derived from location. Heretofore our great state has been remote from the commercial, political and educational centers of the land, this handicap will be removed, for the Gulf Stream, by virtue of its position, will be the outlet for ships passing through the canal, and among the ports to be benefited will be New Orleans, Port Arthur, Beaumont and Galveston. Who can measure the stimulus to com- merce, to population and to the development of our state yet in its infancy, with such opportunities as acquaintance, intercourse and 81 ,vq wr l The Pine Burr commerce, the life-blood of nations ? VVith access to the great buying and selling markets of the world, the magnificent resources of our state would be quickened into maturity. That such possibilities are no mere idle dreams, is shown by the fact that this project has, since pioneer days, been an indispensable factor in the future not only of Texas, but of the entire American continent. Since the first hardy adventurer pushed westward over broad plains and rugged mountains, the energy and the spirit he left in his trail have developed and now maintains the American nation. It remains for our beloved state, so honored in history, so superb in resources, so happily placed by fortune, to realize the advent of a glorious future. Now is the time for her citizens, with vim and intensity of purpose, to seize this tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at flood, leads on to fortunef, The heart of every Texan thrills to the thought of her greatness. Let us see to it that the crisis of the present opportunity be wisely met, that the Lone Star State may ascend to the zenith of her possibilities. E.

And, as the gong tapped, those who stood before The entrance murmured, Ol for a minute more, You know how little time we have to chew, And once inside, we sneak the apple-core. Now the new hour, reviving miseries old, The modest soul in English class grows hold Whe1'e the white hand of BI. K. W. on the book VVrites down V. P's and F's till we grow cold. Jonas, indeed, is gone, with all his nerve, ' And Stedman, with his ever-ready smileg Ah me! No answer ever seemed to serve To meet those questions coming all the while. And Haroldis lips are lock't, but in sublime, High-piping tones, Jules cries, Time, Time, Time! More time! the eager child repeats, and then His teacher's cheeks grow red with rage divine. And Anna C. taps on her block in vain, And looks at Vallie with an aimless pain: But Helen Sobel, ever to the 1' ront, VVaves her hand wildly, hoping for the gain. ' 83 ,, 6 Pine Burr Colne, straighten up, forget that it is Spring! Your knickerbockers, worn in childhood, fling Aside in favor of more dignity Acquired, O Perry, as we dance and sing. VVhether at noontide, or recess at morn, Wlhether across the street or lawn we run, The soda-pop keeps oozing drop by drop, I The caterpillars still fall, one by one. ...il Each year, says Bess, brings pupils new, you say Yes, but where leaves the Senior class of yesterday? And this first summer -month that launches us On untried seas shall lead us far away. 7'VVell, let it take us ! That was Gracials voice, And Ethel's, always ready for new choice- And Maude and Emma look with eager eyes' To try their fortunes in earth's cares and joys. Come, let us see what fame this earth can give To those who for its highest honors live. And Maggie looks with thoughtful eyes afar Into the future land of Heart's Desire. Here with a powder rag beneath the wing, A looking glass, a stick of rouge and paste, Comes handsome Lilla, running in her hasteg Oh, it were paradise to hear l1e1' sing. Alike for Roy, who studies every day, And Ed, who thinks a horse the easiest way. A muezzin from the outer office cries: Fools, come and see J. G. F. right away. Y-Vhy, even Faith and Ray, who oft discussed Of the Aenead so wisely--they are rebuffed- And dear Statira's wisest words are lost, The while our mouths with handkerchiefs are stuffed. 84 The Pine Burr VVeber and Spuds did eagerly frequent The walks and lunch stands where the girls might pass- Around them always stood-and not far thence Paul and Hardee, to watch where'er we went. Into the High School, and why, not knowing, Nor whence, came Tyrell, willy-nilly going, Now out of it, as Wind along the waste, I know not whither, willy-nilly blowing. What, without asking, hither hurried whence? And, without asking, whither hurried hence? Leora, take a drink of Coe divine, To drown the memory of that insolence. Up from the first, and through the high fourth year Karl rose, and on the throne of Minerva sat, Full many a prop unraveled and made. clear, By all his class admired and wondered at. There was the do where Leah -sought the key VVith Katherine to sing a melody, Ema and Sula chimed with Annie Lee VVhile Ida Mae and Gracie joined in with glee. .-..-1 Then of the newest question of the day: The right that woman has her part to play A In civic life, we had debates galoreg Among us, Annie and Esther had their say. .l..1- And oft Elaine would give herself concern, The secret of her future life to learn, And to herself she murmured, While you live, Learn, for once gone, you never shall return. And I remember stopping by the way, VVhere Roger thumped his 'ifboneheadf' like ,twas clay, Striving with efforts vain to memorize. I murmured, Gently, brother, gently, pray. 85 - -fav The Pine Burr And has not such a whisper from of old, Down through two years' successive stages rolled Of such an order as the Gamma Ro VVhose knell might by the faculty be tolled? ...i-.1- Perplexed with Chemistry and Lab. no more, Roberta and Cecile in spirits soarg Ruby, Amy, lay test tubes all away, The while Shorty and Forest shout, Hoo-ray. Wlien you and I into the world are past, VVho shall take heed, as long as the life shall last, Of those sweet days when we together sat And thought the hours slow, that ,sped so fast? A moment's haltg a moment's dear respiteg One backward look from this proud evening's height And lo, the phantom days once more appear- But soon again to vanish from our sight. Strange, is it not, that of the many more VVho passed before us through the opening d001', Not one returns to tell us of the road ' Or the adventures which it has in store? And Annie often dreams of Paradiseg There is but one thing certain: this life flies, And soft-voiced Neely looks with serious eyes And tries to pierce the future's dim disguise. Yesterday this day's triumph did prepare And did tomorrow's joys or failures bearg And thus thought Francis, as he made his course VVith pompadour turned towards his teacher's chair. And Douglas was fore'er a lady's man, I-Ie'll always do for them whate'er he cang And avored much was Hazel by every boy- The College Girl and Milkmaid was her joy. 86 . -- -var.-:nur V V The Pine' Burr As at the gong of each departing day, Slunk, hunger-stricken Kathleen away, I heard a giggle through the cloakroom door And knew that Bess and Olga were to stay. Kids of all heights and sizes, great and small, Stood there beside the desk, against the wall, Norine was too loquacious, and her friend Norma had listened, but never talked at all. Said Stone, who was among them, Can it be That we will have to stay long after three, When baseball shouts are ringing in the air And every Fan is longing to be free? VVell, Raymond sighed, let whoso stay or go, I know that with long fasting I am low In health and spirits, too-and yet, methinks To fight the movies might my health restore. Indeed, indeed, repentance oft before VVe swore-but we were hungry when we sworeg And then came Spring, with track and basketball Our thread-bare penitence in pieces tore. Yet, ah! that we should sever all the ties That bound us to the hours we'll always prize, One backward look upon these vanished days Shows us we would not wish them otherwise. Yon time-worn bell that rings for us again, As often she has done, in shine and rain, How oft hereafter will she ring for us Through those same halls-and ring for us in vain. And if, like her, Oh Rae, you 'e'er should pass Among the pupils scattered on the grass At Beaumont High, whene'er you reach the spot VVhere you and Vera sat-think of me, lass! VERA CALHOUN, 87 Class Poet, '13. war- --nw- The Pine Burr 'tfjalehictnrp A NEW' DAY YVe stand on the threshold of a new day. H7110 has not heard the inspiring call that comes at such a time-the mystery of the uutried, the freshness of novelty, the revelation of new fields to conquer? The very tingle in our veins gives us a bracing inspiration to enjoy to the full, to do, to be, as a strong man to run a race. In such a moment a fine spiritual discernment is granted us: we seem to get a new view-point, a fresh chance to get our moral bearings. In such a moment we seem to be our best and highest selves. VVe have a new test of va.lues, a new base of interpretation, a new relation to life. But this day has a still higher significance: that of consecration to higher duties, of dedication to greater usefulness, to greater ser- vice and to greater devotion to our God, country and fellow men. The higher our position, the larger our horizong the greater our edu- cation, the larger our knowledgeg the greater our responsibility and the larger our vision. This day is a stepping-stone to further prep- aration for the work necessary for the building of our character, for the development of our mind, and the refinement of our soul. At such a moment there is a finer and more unselfish sensc of justice in our judgment of all things. As we look back to the yes- terdays, we have a keener sense for benefits received. To you, parents and members of the Board of Education, we owe a debt of gratitude for the unself ish application of your time, energy, and intelligence to all problems bearing upon our years of schooling. Through your wise administration we have been granted favorable environment where- in to grow, expand and develop. That we look to the new day with confident hope, we owe in no small measure to your ever-zealous care for the best interests of the city schools vested in you by a watch- ful citizenship. ' Honorable superintendent and teachers, as we look over the long stretch of years with you in the light of this moment, we know in our hearts that you have given us of your best in interest and guidance. To you we express our profound thanks for the painstaking care of many hours. ss Y .lv C., i The Pine Burr My classmates: lNIoments of parting are always freighted with solemn thoughts. Our associations have been pleasant. In the high- lights of memory to the end of time will live certain joyous moments, and ties near and dear which distance cannot sever nor time destroy. Faces, smiles, handclasps, tears, sighs, laughter-will not these vivid reminders of old school days and school loves live in the heart, be- yond the busy years? The call that now dissolves us as a class is the call of duty 'to higher life, higher aspiration, higher achievement, which each of us must follow and obey-the call of a new day. HELEN SOBEL, Valedictm-ian, '13. 89 fc The Pine Burr iicietif mm Zi Zllinngue Banca The Seniors were well pleased with the delightful entertainment given them by their Junior friends at the Elks' Club on Friday, April 27. The parlor was beautifully decorated in pink and gray, the colors of the Juniors. Pink roses surrounded by spanish moss made a very effective background for the punch bowl, which was presided over by Miss McCulloh. The Senior colors-green and white-were carried out in the main hall in which many small tables had been placed. In this room the white rose predominated. The guests were greeted by the Junior receiving line and each presented with a bag of beans and a program on which were the subjects for conversation. The boys made the engagements as they would for a dance and talked on the subject during the entire musical number. A forfeit of one bean had to be given if Yes or No was said dur- ing the conversation. The one having the most beans at the close of the program got the prize. At about half, past ten the refresh- ments, consisting of green and white brick cream with green and white frosted cakes, were brought in. The favors were white roses --the flowers of the '13 class. The Elks' ruling was observed and all departed at eleven, happy in that they had participated in such a delightful entertainnlent. 4 90 k f J-1 The Pine Burr lumbzun The Senior Domestic Science Class gave a luncheon on January 28th for Mayor E. A. Fletcher, the members of the City Council, and the School Board. Under the direction of Miss Juanita T1'ip- lett, a seven-course luncheon was served by Misses Sula Ellis, Kath- erine Stafford, Hallie Read Greer and Stella McAlister. Others who waited on the table were Misses Statira McGa1'y, Ida Mae Riggs, Ema O'dell, Harriet Lipscomb, Kathleen Land, Hazel Boseman and Leah Emmer. After the luncheon, several speeches were made in praise of the ability of the young cooks. Mr. Guy W. Junker, President of the School Board, made a short talk, in which he in- vited the whole class to attend the matinee for the Prince of Pilsenf' THE PRINCE OF PILSEN. The City School Board, in return for the luncheon served them by the Senior Domestic Science Class, treated the girls to a matinee party to the Prince of Pilsenf, distributing candy with a lavish hand. It was quite an event of the social season. The girls enjoyed to the fullest having their names in the papers as being expert cooks. The members of the School Board and their wives were entertained at luncheon May 20, 1913, by the Senior Domestic Science class. The color scheme-pink and white-was carried out in the sweet pea favors, the place cards and the menu. Those serving were Kathleen Land, Harriet Lipscomb, Statira McGary and Leah Emmer. MENU.
