The Pine Burr Qlumui Sixty-two prodigies in the glare of the footlights faced an au- dience of about two thousand at the Kyle Theatre, Beaumont, on the evening of May 23rd, 1912, and with all the pomp of an English coronation, the stamp of high school graduates was plastered on their bulging foreheads. 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
