Xj -Hir m mm r ' i-: 2::: r mmfi 10- I t i t ' I TAYLOR PUBLISHING COMPANY DALLAS, TEXAS ' Jeuftar-m ' ule means better rEAtBOOKS HIGH I ( SCHOOL BEAUMOI T One World— a living thing, which receives its daily bread from love, tolerance, equality, and brotherhood. An undivided planet filled with people free from prejudice, hate, jealousy, fear, greed, poverty, and unhappiness. Sounds like a dream, doesn ' t it? It doesn ' t have to be. You see, One World is an original creation by the Greatest Designer of all time. Who allows us, the workmen, to weave our own pattern. The devastation that continually racks our world has given us the inspiration for this theme. Daily, countless numbers of human beings give their lives— for what? The love of freedom, tolerance, equality, and brotherhood. And what is all this? The very foundation of One World. Are the boys who are giving their lives doing it in vain? Their cause is futile if even one of us fails in his own little world, whether it be home, school, or community, to do his part in making the whole world united and strong. We who are in school now would like to graduate into the kind of world we have dreamed about, but instead it is going to be up to us to make the dream come true. Then and only then can our world be One World. • J ADMI rSTRATIOkJ SLUIORS JUIJIORS SOPHOMORES FAVORITES ATHLETICS ORGANIZATIONS ACTIVITIES ADVERTISEMENTS i % . ■ulJ-;.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT MRS, LOIS CUNNINGHAM IRBY English 3 M MISS HAZEL BECHTOLDT Journalism MRS. MYRTLE MAE MORRISON English 3, Journalism English is our medium of thinking.

EVELYN FOLSE English 4 The aim of the English department is to help the students fulfill their par- ticular functions in life as citizens of a common heritage of culture in lit- erature and language. As our native language, English is a language study. Its functional aspects of structure are taught all over the world today. MISS MARY LEE SANDERS English 1, 2 MISS GRACE REDING English 4 MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT MISS PEARL BOND Geometry, Trigonometry, Algebra « MR. J. T. DARDEN Algebra, Geometry Mathematics in present-day living is a must. The ability to work with num- bers is needed in every phase of life whether in a field of higher mathe- matics or just in home living. This de- partment not only teaches the student the fundamentals, but, even more im- portant, teaches systematic thinking. If people can think systematically, our country will never be in danger of dictatorship. MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT MISS ODESSA DRAKE Algebra, Geometry 1 MISS ALICE McCALL Algebra n ;- In today ' s scientific world our na- tion ' s progress is deternnined by the number of highly-trained persons working behind the scenes to perfect the machines of our modern world. Through higher education, which is impossible without a certain skill in mathematics, we will always have on hand enough scientists and educators to make our country an advanced country— a leader in the world. MISS MARJORIE SMITH Algebra SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT MRS. LEONIE WEYAND American History MRS. EMMA WATSON American History, Economics MISS SHELLEY MUSE Civics, Texas Histocy MISS ELIZABETH TORREY Bible SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT MISS ANNA MARIE duPERIER Social Studies 2 MR.

LOUISE LYNAS Biology I f « H SCIENCE DEPARTMENT MR. CHARLES MULLIKIN Chemistry Science, one of the most important of all high school subjects, provides the student with a sound preparation for higher fields of education. Through scientific studies and developments the world constantly progresses. The latest wonder of science is atomic energy, which, if used intelligently, can be a great source of strength for our advancement— not our destruction. VOCATIONAL ARTS DEPARTMENT MR, E. F. TIEMANN Printing MR. W. R. RENFRO Mechanical Drawing MR. EARL DOWNS Woodwork MR. A. C. KNIERIM Diversified Occupations MR. CLAUDE SPEED Auto Mechanics VOCATIONAL ARTS DEPARTMENT MR. CHARLES SCHMUCKER Vocational Agriculture The purpose of the vocational arts department is to guide students in various fields of work which may eventually become their vocations. Actual experience in these fields is of the utmost importance. America needs not only those who can perfect its machines but also those trained to operate them. Cooperation is the key- note of a country ' s success. Our coun- try and the rest of the world need skilled operators, farmers, printers- all types of workmen working hand in hand. MR. RICHARD HARPER Distributive Education LIBRARY DEPARTMENT MISS FLORENCE LONGMAN Librarian MRS. NELL SHARPLEY Librarian The modern high school library serves every other branch of the school. It is an important factor in the scheme of modern education. Its pur- poses are many and varied. It ac- quires and makes accessible materials to meet the needs of high school stu- dents; it guides them in selecting books for personal as well as for cur- ricular use; and it develops in high school students the skill and ability necessary to advance their education and to widen their interests. MISS GWYNNE MILLER Spanish LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT MISS METTIE FERGUSON Latin, Spanish MRS. LUCIE BARRY French, English 2 In the world of today the need for the study of languages other than English is self-evident. The best under- standing of the people who speak the foreign languages can exist only if we can learn enough abou.t other races to live in the same world with them. The knowledge of such foreign languages as Latin, French, and Span- ish, is an indispensable tool in forming educated men and providing the tools of world understanding and world peace. Furthermore, the acquaintance with languages is essential in the suc- cessful transaction of business and in better social feeling attained through a mutual understanding of speech. COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT MRS. TOMMIE DEMPSEY Typing, Counseling Office The commercial department pre- pares the student for secretarial and bookkeeping positions as well as for occupations connected with adminis- trative sides of business. The student pursues a specialized training which will develop in him the ability to serve successfully the business community thus enabling him to begin earning a livelihood upon graduation from high school. Some students pursue commercial training as a basis for a business ca- reer; some use it for personal use; and others as a preparatory study for a course in business administration at our higher institutions of learning. MRS. GLADYS TIEMANN Typing, Bookkeeping, Shorthand Office Training MR. JOE FLANAGAI Typing MRS. MARY FRANCES KENNEDY Typing, Shorthand vMRS. GRACE HUNTER ■ Art FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT KAflJtMjLi MR. ARNOLD WHEDBEE Band, Orchestra The purpose of the fine arts de- partment is to provide as many varied and significant experiences of creative expression for as many people as pos- sible. By performing in music, speech, and art activities, students are given opportunities for developing an ap- preciation for the finer arts. Through assembly concerts, athletic events, class plays, and other student activi- ties, every student in school benefits from this program in one way or an- other. MR. ARTHUR WILLIAMS Speech MRS.

RAYMOND ALFORD Boys ' Physical Education MR. TED PERTUIT Boys ' Physical Education V m PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT MR. DICK SHEFFIELD Boys ' Physical Education If MR. DICK SCOTT Boys ' Physical Education Physical Education as a high school subject is important to us for many reasons. P. E. strengthens us mental- ly, as well as physically, by teaching us the many fundamentals of the games. It makes clear to us the rules of fair play, the knowledge of which carries over into all our dealings with others. MR. JOHNNIE DAVIS Boys ' Physical Education HOMEMAKING DEPARTMENT MRS. EVA HERBERT Child Care MISS JENNIE GLEN Family Living Homemaking is important as a high school subject because at the present time modern and scientific education is necessary to make a successful home and family life. It aids the boy or girl much in present-day living and helps him recognize and solve prob- lems that may arise in the future. The broad scope of this study provides in- terests that lead to further study for numerous careers. MRS.
