It found the High School with an infant pep squad: it will leave it with one of State-wide reputation-one that was even recognized by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram as one of the best in the State. The leaders of this organization are Seniors: Her- mith Johnson, pep leader, and Hazel Allred, president. lt found the High School with no means of publishing the daily events of its life! it will leave it with a weekly edition known as the Allackrabbitf' There are three of the four members of this staff which are Seniors. It found the High School with a smaller number of subjects and teachers than it will leave it with. lt found the High School with practically no class or school spirit: it will leave with more pep and loyalty than it has had in years. Let the faithful historian in after times say these things of its successor, if he can. And yet, notwithstanding all these services and blessings, there are found some weak persons who, lost to virtue, to gratitude and patriotism, openly eXult that this class is no more, and that the sun of the Class of '26 is set forever. O shame, where is thy blush? As our tribute of gratitude in these times, this monument to the talents and services of this class is raised by THE HISTORIAN, H. A. May 21, 1926. -a-aa Page 17 i
