17 1 ■ 4C%eGUSHEKJ=-_= Ti Foreword May this hook, which is by no means perfect, always remain in the minds of our fellow students as a cherished mem- ory. The work of compiling the ma- terial has been no easy task, but if we have in some way shown the true spirit of Byrd High School, and brought some credit to our school, we will feel amply rewarded for our labours and will re- joice in the privilege of giving our best for our fellow classmates. Thus, we, the staff of 1928. submit this vol- ume of “The Gusher” for your ap- proval. Page two (5feGUSHERl = = 51 np Dedication In honour of Coach Knilans, who has grasped the torch from other hands and carried on the beautiful school spirit to a glorious success. Who has firmly held this institution in his fin- gers and gently moulded our boys into a more perfect manhood. Who has shown us Truth and Loyalty, and whom we, as students, have learned to love and respect, we cordially dedicate this issue of “The Gusher.” IT 11 USHER) pH STAPP 'POBSPT O ttjSMMOm iBUtS ffS.'.

The lives of the students would be in danger, indeed, were it not for Uncle Jack’s ability at handling the school traffic. Page eight Page ten r Re G USH ERi Our Principal Mr. koffman, our mentor, to whom vve owe all those morals and fine points of character which he so nobly exem- plifies for us. He has watched over us with a fath- er’s care and those sterling character- istics have been incorporated in the students who have been associated with him. He has been the moulder of our char- acter and his influence is deeply ap- preciated. Long may he continue in his splendid work. C GUSHER) Mr. Alberson A friend of every pupil who leaves a name of honesty and fairness and justice for all. His memory will long he revered in the hearts of the Class of ’28. His friendship has been a comfort and a joy to ail who have known him, and it is with the most pleasant memories and the deepest regret that we leave him here to continue in his construc- tive work.

The day was a bright and sunny one, hut very still. All the morn through, I felt lonely and blue. Others were wondering why I felt this way, but I knew, for it was on this day, , eight years ago. that I was so happy, for it was on that day that I graduated, and so was think- ing of that wonderful class. I gathered all of my memories of that “dear ole day” and of that “dear ole school.” As I was looking through my Hi Lifes and Gushers, I became very interested and felt as though I was living that life over again. I then began looking through my Gradu- ation Book. I remembered how anxious I was to see what each had written. 1 read what Rena Foote had written and recalled what great friends we were then. And so, the morning passed. Early in the afternoon who should come but Rena! This was. indeed, a pleasant surprise to me. Rena told me that she and her husband had inherited a large sum of money and that they were taking their sixth honeymoon. She asked me to travel with them. 1 was very delighted at the invitation and readily accepted. Rena stayed with us until I prepared for the trip. In the meantime, Rena told me that Ruth Arnett, Dixie Stanberry, Ruth Babin, and Rubye alentine were taking a Home Economic Course in Princeton University, and that they had hopes of returning to Shreveport and taking the places of Misses Ruth Batch- elor. Stella Leopold. Eleanor Blatterman, and Mrs. J. P. Honaker, as Misses Batchelor and Leo- pold had had a double wedding and are now living in California. Miss Blatterman is in Holly- wood and has become a very famous movie actress. Her latest picture is “Beauty and Love.” Mrs. J. P. Honaker is living peacefully in her cozy little cottage Rena also said that Basil Davis was in Illinois and had gone into the “auto business” with his brother, naming their place of business The Davis Brothers. Then Rena and I began surprising each other. She told me that Berkeley DeLee, Mildred Wilkerson, Frank Fulco, Redus Gage, Fernand Savony, and Barbara Frost attended the wedding of Lera Finely and Logan Martin. I then told her that I had a “bigger one than that,” that George Wheeler had declared Fred Dick and Barbara Palmer “Man and Wife.” In a week we were ready to start on our trip. The first place we stopped was in Wash- ington, D. C., at Opal Johnson’s home, now the wife of a doctor. As we were sight-seeing one afternoon. Opal stopped in front of a magnificent building asking us to come in while she trans- acted some business. She used this as an excuse so she could surprise us. Not noticing the name of the building, we went in. We were led into a very beautiful and comfortable room, and who should we see hut Mr. Koffman sitting in his chair as though he were a King. He was a King, as that magnificent building was built and named for him, “Koffman University.” Ibis Mr. Koffman is not like the Mr. Koffman of old, as he has no w’orries at all. He seemed very glad to see us and soon was showing us the building. We went into one of the of- fices and beheld Miss Myrtle Aymond. now the secretary of this Great University. Leaning down the hall we heard a voice say, “and remember, a gentleman is lord of his own action.” Upon entering the room, we saw the slender figure of a young lady, which was Miss Mary Louise High- tower. She was directing a play which was to be given by a very prominent dramatic club of that city. At another glance we saw Byrd Hamilton, the hero; Marjorie Welch, the heroine; Gladys Finnelle, Erma Mead, Adele Nelson and Patty Reddit, Marjories maids. Myra Roebuck was the nurse (they borrowed little Helen Simmons Allread, named after her mother, who was formerly Helen Simmons, but who had married Clarence Allread sometime ago). Harry Priest, the villain and June Hagar. the villain s sweetheart, were after Marjorie’s wealth. In the end the money was saved by our bold hero. Others in the cast were: Juliet Eggleston, the cook; Robert Earp. the butler; Margaret Fletcher, the mother and Andrew Jackson, the father. The name of this play was “Get It If You (.an. After dinner we lounged around and looking through the paper I noticed one of the headlines on the Sport Page to be “Seventy-Five Men Report for Coach Wil- son’s First Workout.” I read on and found that Roy Wilson was coach of the Koffman University football squad, and among those reporting were Rew Blackwell. Ted Bounds, Chas. Fulco, Wm. Galbreath, Jr.. Roland Huson, Jr.. Jack Johnston, Ross Nelson, Jr., and Arthur Matlock. I he next night we listened to KWKH over the radio. Mr. Henderson’s announcer was Horace Knowles. I he first selection was Paul Allen telling his favorite bed-time stories for the children. The next was a song entitled, “My Little Cozy Home in the South,” sung by James Lee King. He was probably thinking of his home and wife, Vera Crow’. The third number was the famous Bickley-Malloy Orchestra. This was owned by Sam Bickley and Pat Malloy. The members were Bowman Whited, Calvin Waller. Raymond Shaw, Eugene Pipes, Orlando Orsborn, Clyde McCarty, Elsie Watson, Frances Womble, Helen Joyce O’Neil, and Dorothy Carr. Also 11 - ... (C eGUSHEKl on the program were two comic singers, Dorothy Conly and Dorothy Jennings. The last number introduced a new device which would do anything necessary for the playing of a Victrola. This device was invented by Beatrice Britt. The following day. I received a telegram telling me to come home right away as I had a surprise waiting for me. With all the anxiety in the world I finally reached home. As I walked in the house I saw no one and began to think that it was just my mother and father’s scheme to have me hack home again. Upon entering my room who shou'd I see crouched behind the bed but Bertie Speights. I was so startled and happy. Bertie had come to spend a month with me. She told me she had made her home in Paris, and that she was an Opera Singer. Bertie said before she left Paris she went into one of the most popular clothing houses and saw John Ed. Barker, who. with pencil and paper in his hand, was looking at some of the new dresses. Soon Lillian Eylers came out and stood before him, she was followed by Polly Watt and Mignon Pendleton. Lillian had on a beautiful evening gown and stood on the platform, while Polly was sitting by her talking to John Ed. Mignon was seated by the side of the platform with painting articles. This explains all, John Ed. was the dress buyer of the most prominent clothing store in New York, Lillian was the model, Polly tin designer, and Mignon the artist. She drew the dresses so John Ed. could put them on display in New York. These girls made a great success in selling the clothes to other houses. Bertie also added that Mercer Tennille used to live in Paris, but soon got tired of it. Me said he had much rather play football in tin- United States, so he returned and has made an All-American football player. He still goes back to Paris for his vacation. I wonder why? A week had passed since Bertie’s arrival. It was the following Saturday when we had the time of our lives when we went to the Annual Marathon Field Meet. In the morning, we saw the Yellow Jackets clash with Haynesville at the C. E. Byrd High School. The Jackets’ Coach was Tom Ford. It seems as though the crowd remembered Haynesville from the olden days, as 1 never have seen such a large crowd as witnessed that game. The Jackets defeated Haynes- ville 14 to 0. It again proved the good sportsmanship, clean playing, and excellent strength of the Jackets. After the game we went through the school. The first to meet was Mr. E. L. Alber- son. He has taken the place of our beloved Mr. Koffman. It seems as though C. E. Byrd is blessed with old members of the school as we learned that Eve Batcheldor, Falba Baeder. Delia Clingman, Pearl Goldberg, Laura McCabe, Wylma Reynolds, Simon Herold, Marvin Samuel West and Chas. Brandau are members of the faculty. Bertie and I had lunch at the Washington Hotel and met Lula Belle Totten and J. G. Hoyt, Jr., now Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Hoyt. J. G. said they had come over to attend the wedding of Werdna Rew Baird and Arthur Winchester, which was to be held that night. We learned that Werdna Rew was so happy that she had been crying the whole day. That evening we went to the State Fair Grounds to see the Track Meet. The three mile race was won by Willie Smith from Shreveport. The contests for throwing the ball was also won by favorites, the girls by Blanche Crabtree, and the boys by Raymond Owens. In the Coliseum were two basketball games. The first being the “business women of Plain Dealing and Shreveport.” Plain Dealing defeated the local team 5 to 4. On the visitors team played Min- nie Frumer, Swan Herrin. Lorraine Hicks, Inez Harris, and Lottie Davis. The local team was composed of Monette Gallien, Verdie Hanagriff, Doris Johnson, Anna Belle Hodges, and Jewel Rester. The boys game was between We Get 'Em, the local team, and the Frisky Five, of Fisher. We Get ’Em defeated the “Frisks” 20 to 0. The local team was composed of Malcolm Clack, James Dobson. Frank Tenney, Henry Cook, and Thomas Ragan. There were only two on the Fisher team that I knew. Sam Abramson and Carroll Feist. The hundred yard run was won by Shreveport. The team was composed of Talmadge Tinsley, Jackson Rat ley, Lamar Whitten, and Chas. Ravenna, Jr. The officials of the day were: Ural Shipp, Chambliss Peters, John D. Lind- say and Daniel Hendricks. The reporter was R. C. McCoy. The following Monday Bertie and I went to the Byrd Amusements. The owner of this building has something to be proud of, as Parker Ross Bennett, Leo Cowart, and Simon Fox did some carpentering work on it. while Johnnie Becket, Edward Owed, Byron Pipes, and Ado Skeels put in the plumbing. As we entered this building, we walked down a long hallway. There was a sudden turn and then we feil through a hole in the floor and slid down into a barrel- effect place. Around the barrel were different colored papers, which if blown up would make the appearance of fire. Then we wound around a litt’e path-way. To the right we saw a large statue of a serpent. As we were standing there gazing, this creature opened its mouth and a long curved tongue came out. In this tongue was the programme of the day. On and on we went seeing curious things, when suddenly an old witch came up to us. talking a language neither of us could understand, lie then crouched behind a statue and took off his hat. and to our sur- prise it was Homer McDowell. We came to the dining hall, and after being seated another witch came up to us. When he brought our dinner he said for us to meet him behind the huge fern in an hour, saying, “You’d better be there or else.” When we met him we sat down for a few moments’ chat, he arose and blew a whistle and three other witches came. They pulled off their witch-faces and they were Buford Reidhimer, Clayton Hull. W. F. Smith and Glenn Walker. Continuing our adventure we entered a large auditorium, which was the theater part of this ' A Page fifty-seven GUSHER) combination building. The prologue was just beginning. The first act was. Looking Through the Family Album. The first picture was “Wallace King the Brave, and Eloise Carmical the Fair, Now Heaven Bless That Noble Pair. The second was Dan Blanchard and Jewel Hilton. Dan was kneeling by his wife's side, ‘‘and he said, i cannot tell a lie. Ah these sturdy words will never die. The third was “Midst Barrowed Bairns and Loving Wife. He Returns With Joy to Country Life. Here we saw The’ma Favaron sitting in her country cottage and Wallace Clay- comb anxiously opening the gate to greet his wife. On and on went the pictures. When the curtains were drawn for the next act, who should we see but Mr. Schoonover standing on his head. Jack Flaitz. Singleton Gardner. Simon Graeber, and Sam Holmes standing on their hands. In this same act was Luis Phelps, the champion wire walker of the world. The girls orchestra was the next act. The members were Mary Bush, Billie Campbell, Bessie Bell. Jean Eddy, Lillian Hobson, Maude Blanchard, Louise Short, Helen Willi- ford. Leota Hart, Roma Dore Mee, Peggy Ruth Liles, Mary Hudson, Evelyn F. McCay, and Marion Jackson. The Director of these girls was Miss Mary Win. Crowder. The best of all was the Byrd Hi Act. The stage was decorated in purple and gold. The cheer leaders were Annette Compton, Burns Bibbs, and Emily Moore. Members of the Glee Club were Ollie Boat- right, Clyde Dore. Ruth Frank, Bessie Herring. Eleanor Johnson, Mignon Shelton, Lucille Smith, Lois Mathis, Earnestine Ray, Cullen Browning. Harry French, Robert Harris, Willis Johnson, William Jones. Robert L. Simmons. Marshall Tomlinson, J. Walter Westbrook, Marvin Yearwood, and Phillip Woodward. When the curtains were again drawn we saw a beautiful scene. All colors were represented and it looked as though someone had combined all sorts of nature scenes. The music grew louder and our picture began to unfold. This picture was made up of five dancers, who were: Alice Baron, Virginia McCracken. Eleanor Roark. Mattie Vera Self, and Mildred Bres. The last act was a Minstrel-Orchestra. Henry Moore was the interlocutor. The dancers were Danita Barnum and Martha George. The soloist was Margaret Harris. The mem- bers of the orchestra were Sidney Adger. Preston Barber, Woodrow Coffey, Harry Diebner, Chas. Maryman, Thos. Sessums, John Tominello, Walter Wilkerson. Forrest Lee Forte, Thos. Roundtree and James Strickland. At the conc’usion of the program the picture, “Little Sister Susie, was shown, featuring Marianne Gladney and Robert McNair Smith. On our way out we passed a mechanical doll handing out souvenirs. At the exit we met Estelle Edmonson. Margaret Dority, Mary Edwards and Juanita Patterson distributing programs for the next week. We learned that in next week's prologue Dorsey Long. Emile Gesn. J. Dec Youngblood, Jr.. Chas. Zelinsky, Ro- berta Bartmess, Ruby Beene, Geneva Harrison, Annie Geneva Hendricks, Miss Lou Leslie, Mr. Wm. Dehiner, and Mr. R. A. Smith would be the main entertainers. There is no wonder this building is called the “Byrd Amusements. The next day ended Bertie's visit with us. The local news is always saved for the last. Shreveport has greatly enlarged and changed within the past few years. One of the largest buildings is a tobacco house, befog ofwned by Browning Nix. Shreveport also had the most beautiful dock in America. The owner is Richard Melton. When he built this dock he certainly knew what the people liked. I went on a dock party and our boats raced. I was in the boat with Bernice Perkins, Rowena Phillips, Julia Agnes McMichael, Vernon Anderson, Arthur Simpson, Kenneth Pepple, and Karl McCay. J. L. Adams steered the boat. Others in the party were Marien Boyd, (now Mrs. Robt. Allordyce), Beatrice Cantine, Mary Alice Gay, Everette Bonnette, Leroy Gibson. Harry Eastman, Lloyd Baker, William Morgan, Lillian Lindholm. and Robt. Ellzey. A great aviation field has also been developed. The first women pilots were Annie Brownstiene and Doris Gordon. Cloise Pharis and Minerva Moore flew over to Africa and brought back a white monkey. They named it “Clo Min.' Think of that! I must tell you how successful Vivian Cargill’s marriage is. She is now considered one of the happiest persons in Shreveport. Her children attend the kindergarten owned by Georgette Cornil. Helen Gillespie and Annie Maye Burt are the teachers. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Carleton, nee Annie Ruth Brown, attend school there also. We are proud of Paul Stokely, Lloyd Shultz and Androne Nissen, as they are officers in the Marine Corps. With them are Dorsey Long and Dave Kaminsky, who are blood-hound trainers, to say nothing about J. B. Rogers and Marbury Raymond. They are great generals in the same corps. The latest news is the exploration of Mars. This is due to the bravery of Kermit Arthur, Chas. Brock, Orville Campbell, Chas. Goetzman. Herman Polenian and Dixon Morris. They de- scribed Mars as a “beautiful summertime meadow.” This caused a great sensation and Evelyn Pickett, Ruth Riner, and Rachel Shobe were the first women from Shreveport to go there to live. On reading the “Shreve Daily,” a newspaper edited by Lee Lindsay, I saw where Vanie Louise Burns and Dorothy Parks gave a wedding shower for Nellie Mae O’Donnell. Those at- tending were: Hattie German, Irene Richardson. Mary Lou Phillips, Mary Dimple Mabry, Helen Johnson, Martha Lee 0‘Pry, and Louise Lockwood. I also noticed where Mr. Will Young was the most skilled person in the world with the pen. and that Virginia Greenlee was the fastest shorthand writer in America. Going down the street I met Irma White, who had just gotten back from Tulane University. She told me that John Lawhorn was the most popular soda-jerkcr on Page fifty-eight sfQfeGUSHEKi - 71 the campus. Clyde McMichael need not laugh as he is wi:h Sam Provenza serving this old world as hash slingers. I also met Mattie Lock, who is now Mrs. David Brandt. She told me that Martha Lindsey and Christohel lluckahay, together with Myra McNeil and Ruth Reynolds, were traveling all over the United States in their car. The latest sensation for the girls of this city is goin ! to the Y. W. C. A. Ruby Stroud has made a great success in giving reducing lessons. Millie Wisener, Cladis McLemore and Lorene Ray took the lessons. They said Ruby surely «lid put them through strenuous exercises. The girls joining in the past two months are Era Turbyfill, Estelle Honaker, Beth Skoog, Auneese White, Betty Lou Wheelis and Ruth Scott. I was filled with joy last Sunday, at the evening church service, when Cecile Moore, Fay Oglethorpe, John Kagy. Chas. Leibert. and Strubbe McConnell, Jr., were installed as officers in the church. Kathyrn Phipps, Thelma Lampkin, and Archie Lindsay, Jr., have just completed their term of office. May God Bless Them. Last night’s paper was of great interest to me. I noticed where Rebecca Wells won first prize for writing the best essay on “Why Girls Flirt.” She competed against Beatrice Leone, Ruth Morgan, Elizabeth Powell and Catherine Trogell. 1 also noticed where David Ashcraft was making a big success in his Men's Beauty Shoppe. What is the world coming to? John Brocato was the first one to have his face lifted. I must add that David is busy now every hour of the day. The third article was about Myrtle Young, with the he’p of Phronsee Stoner and Eloise Taylor, keeping open house for Anita Tvler. Anita is now an artist and her latest por- trait is of Alice Sutton and Grace Bicknell. Grace is a very prominent social leader among the young people. She has pledged Tony Lalena, Garland Odom, and Leslie Pennington into one of the clubs. Tbe Maids Sewing Club is certainly progressing. They meet every Monday, and many times invite their fellows. It won’t be long before they will be calling it “The Brides Club.” The members are Nannie McCallistcr, Let tine McPhee, Mabel Reed, Ethel George, Iris Saunders, Irene Lamb, Carrie Sollear. Margaret Somarindyck and Roberts Clare Mee. Helen Carney, Thelma Courtney and Lucille Tompson have recently joined. I am overjoyed to know all about the members of the graduating class of 1928. I have and always will love them. Seniors? Ah, yes, we were Seniors at last. We were Seniors, but we'll never forget our past; We were tbe class that set the gait. We were that proud class of 1928. As we part with the dear old school that we love so well and with our dear friends and classmates, may we never forget them and always include in our prayers that a blessing be suited upon them. May we realize that lost time is never regained. It only brings back memories, some- times of regret, sometimes of happiness, and many limes sorrow. May time never bring to any of you, whatever, dear Class, thoughts and memories of sorrow and regret. I wish each member of the class of 1928 a sincere and deep heartfelt wish, which is that each of you will have a bright, happy, successful and prosperous future. Thus, ends the prophecy of 1928. —ANNIE PRIMOS. C eGUSHE k- GUSHER! ■ ..-£71 B-SENIORS Abney, James Hayes. Boatner Porter, Claiborne Althar, Lucile Hendick, John Ratcliff.

The game was played at the C. E. Byrd Stadium after the field had been thoroughly drenched by a half-hour hard rain. Practically the whole game was played in Mansfield territory and at no time during the game were the Jackets in danger of being scored upon. In fact, the Mansfield team carried the ha'l only four times during the enti e game and made no first downs whPe the Jackets succeeded in making six. Despite the heavy condition of the field several of the Shreve- port eleven made long runs. Hamilton made the longest run In � he second game of the sea- son the Jackets scored an 18 to 0 victory over the fast Homer High School team. Although out-class- ed in the first few minutes of play, tin Jackets soon settled down and showed the old fight- ing spirit by throwing the Homer hacks for several losses. The star of the game was Mer- cer Tinnelle who made all three touchdowns, two of which were made on 75 and 85 yard runs. He was, however, supported by the entire team. Page ninety (QfeGUSHER Yellow Jackets vs. Winnfield OCTOBER 15, 1927 Team work and the fighting spirit of the Jackets enabled them to defeat the strong Wi in field eleven 18 to 14 in by far the hardest game of the season. The Jackets started the game with a rush which netted them their first touchdown and a drop kick by Tinnelle gave them a lead of 9 to 0 at the end of the first half. Though trailing behind at th? beginning of the third qia ter the Winnfield team showed won- derful fighting spirit in the last half. By a series of fake plays, line bucks, and passes, they soon scored the two touchdowns which came so near to ending in dis- aster for the Jackets. In the line. Wilson and Zafatta on the left side showed wonder- ful cooperation, while Al'en o:i TOM FORI) it DOUGLAS YAUGER the right and King at center were exceedingly adept at covering fumbles. In the backfield. Zum- walt and llodgins showed up well both in line plunging and lire ken field running. Jackets vs. Natchitoches OCTOBER 22, 1927 The Jackets scored almost at will during the first part of the game in which they defeated Natchitoches by a score of 48 to 0. Starting a running attack that scored two touchdowns on the first two plays of the game the Jackets soon had the game en- tirely in their favor. The two 80-yard runs by “Red” Hunt and TinnePe were the outstanding features of the game, even though “Red did come very near losing the lower part of his foot- ball uniform. Practically the entire second NATH RED) ALLEN Page ninety-one Win WWW lu ■ JAMES LEE KING tC GUSHER Irani of the Jackets was used in the second quarter and they man- aged to make one touchdown and keep Natchitoches far from the Jackets goal. Early in the game the Jackets opponents realized that they could make no gains thru the line. Therefore they began an aerial attack which gave them the only real gains of the game. However, they were force I to re- turn to line plays vhich were usually b'ocked by the massive Sam Bickley or by Zafatta. Al- len. Larson, or King—depending on where the play went. Yellow Jackets vs. Bolton OCTOBER 28. 1927 Another undefeated Louisiana High School team and an old rival was marked up with a de- BOBBY Zl MWALT ft lb WILLIE SMITH k feat when the Bolton “Bears’ went down to the Jackets by a score of 25 to 0. Scoring a touchdown in the first three minutes of play, the Jackets failed to score again un- til the last quarter, when they started an attack which netted them three touchdowns. Tinnelle scored twice while the other two touchdowns were made by Hod- gins and Zurrwalt who played his best game of the season. Tin- nelle though hurt in the first quarter, remained in the game and managed to get in two 40- yard runs and one 30-yard sprint. Twice the Jackett goal was threatened hut each time the powerful combinations of Roy Wilson and Joe Zafatta re- pelled the Bolton hacks, though at one time they had only a foot to co for a touchdown. When King was hurt in the firts quarter, Wolfe was changed from end to center where he proved his ability not only on the offensive but also on the de- fensive. ROY WILSON Page ninety-two ZfeGIlSHER HAN HENDRICKS Yellow Jackets vs. Minden NOVEMBER 11, 1927 Before a crowd of over 5.000 the Jackets defeated the Minden Green Backs at the Louisiana Stale Fair by a score of 40 to 6. Until this game the Minden team had not been scored upon and the honor goes to Mercer Tin- nelle of being the first to do so. At all times during the g me the Jackets showed all the ab’lity and fighting spirit of a cham- pionship eleven, and it was by a forward pass that the vistors made their only score of tha game. r.i m A. 1). WEAV ER F © ® it fe a 1 fl SAM BICKLEY Yellow Jackets vs. Haynesville It was a hard game to lose. After fighting an uphill game and outplaying the Haynesville Golden Tornado most of the time, fate seemed to be against the Jackets, when they went down to a 6 to 0 defeat for the first time of the season. A bad pass from Wolfe, who was substituting at center, to Tinnelle, when near the showdown of their own goal posts, resulted in the on.y de- feat of the year for the Jackets. On a slow field very few large gains were made and fumbles were frequent. Both teams were frequently forced to punt—Tin- nelle averaging about 45 yards, for the Jackets. Hodgins and Yauger were the greatest gainers for the Yellow Jackets and though it was Yauger's first year on the team, he showed up won- derfully well both in running in- terference and on the defense. I RAL SHIPP Page ninety-three USHERS The Yellow Jacket Club The Yellow Jacket Club was organized in 1927 as a “Pep” squad to assist the cheer leaders at the football games. The girls wore white sweaters and skirts and it made a very pretty picture when they all were on the field with one of their many stunts. Mrs. H. M. Knilans was the sponsor and we can easily see that excellent team w'ork with the team was obtained by this combina- tion of Mrs. H. M. and Mr. H. M. Page ninety-four -gOTeGUSHERi BASKETBALL 1928 WON—8 LOST—6 When the whistle sounded in the gym for basketball practice. Coach Knilans found that more than 40 candidates were out to try for the team. Having lost six letter men and with Vernon Wolfe, Jim Hodgins. and Joe Zafalta, the only old timers back this year, Coach set out to develop a real team. The five men selected to carry on the battles of S. H. S. were exceedingly fast and as never before they were backed by the Student Body. Because of the great number of candidates for the team there was' plenty of ma- terial for another team which was entered in the Novice League of the Municipal Basketbal League. For these boys the season was fairly successful as they tied for second place in their division. Members of the team are: Name Position Years on Team Vernon Wolfe.......................

Review of the 1928 Baseball Season Though the 1928 baseball season was a successful one for the Yellow Jackets, her record of long standing was broken by the Min- den High School nine which defeated the Jackets in Huston for th-'j North Louisiana State Championship. At the rally the Minden got the “breaks of the game” and for the first time in nine years the Jackets were defeated by a Louisiana team. This defeat also mark- ed the first time since the organization of the North Louisiana State Rally at Ruston six years ago that any team other than the Jackets have been North Louisiana Champs. However, the Shreveport nine was sent to Baton Rouge for the State Rally and there defeated the strong Warren Easton team in their first game by a score of 5 to 1. In the semi-finals the Jackets were defeated by a Commercial High School team which was later found to be that of an outlaw school. As this team had also de- feated the Monroe and Alexandria teams, it was decided that the championship should be played off by these three teams in Natchi- toches on the 5th of May. The Yellow Jackets went to Natchitoches hoping to draw a “by” but she was forced to play both in the morning and in the after- noon. In the morning the Jackets, with Pat Malloy working on the mound, defeated Monroe in a fast and snappy game by a score of 6 to 3. In the afternoon the Yellow Jackets met the Bolton Bears in the deciding game which they won 8-1. With “Baby” Ray Lind- sey on the mound the Jackets played airtight ball after the first in- ning, in which the Bears scored their only run. During the latter part of the game the Yellow Jackets were never in danger and at the end of the game the Shreveport team had another State Cham- pionship marked down to their credit. ..

These boys are Chambliss Peters, Louis O'Daniels, Lamar Fuqua, Logan Martin, Sammy Abramson, Browning Nix, Malcum Clack and R. C. McCoy. This is the great number of hoys that have lettered in four years. Gold track shoes will be given the letter men by the school. When the roll is called next year it is expected fiiat there will be only two of the 1928 letter men out. Only those hoys who placed in the North Louisiana or State rally received letters. The showing of the local track squad has been outstanding this year. They won the North Louisiana championship for the second straight time and won third place in the state meet at Baton Rouge. In a dual meet with Plain Dealing early in the season the Jackets won by a large score and a week later they won a triangular meet between Haynesville, Arcadia and Shreveport. Chambliss Peters was the Jackets old horse on the half mile run and this member of the squad won first place in the Tri-State meet. North Louisiana meet and won in the triangular meet with Haynesville and Arcadia. Peters was also a member of the mile relay team and was a big factor in the victories that the team won this year. Malcum Clack was almost the whole field team. Clack was defeated only once in the Pole vault and this was at the State rally, it was only after they had passed the state record by one inch did Clack drop out and then he lied for second place. In the North Louisiana Rally Clack won first place in pole vault, running broad jump, placed second in high jump and fourth in the shot put. “Cotton McCoy was elected captain of the 1928 squad and he showed up well this season. McCoy won first place in the 220 yard dash at the state meet and placed second in the 100 yard dash. McCoy was also a member of the mile relay team. O Daniels was a member of the mile relay team and he w on 2nd place in the 440 yard dash at Ruston. Lamar Fuqua hit it unlucky this year. Fuqua was Coach Pendergast’s best hope on the 440 yard dash and just before the North Louisiana Rally this hoy took sick and was unable to make the state rally meet. His pre- vious record was enough to letter him. Brownie Nix ran the mile this year and was a member of the mile relay team This was Nix’s third year on the squad and his absence noxt year will be felt. Abramson was a member of the mile relay team and was also used in the 220 yard hurdle race. It is expected that Abramson will be back next year. Logan Martin upheld the colors of the Jackets on the track in the 120 yard high hurdles one of the hardest races that is run by a high school of Louisiana. X illie Smith won second place in the discus throw at the I ri-State meet. Smith was a hard worker and well deserves a letter. Ed Keasler did not make the grade this year but he will make Coach Pendergast a good sprint man next year. Keasler can also heave the Javelin. Lionell Turner will also make a good sprint man next year. Turner is extra fast in the 50 yar.l dash and while a member of the Ruston high school he was a member of the track squad. Iurner would have lettered this year hut he did not report for track until the latter part of the season. Luther Hunt will make a good 220 yard low hurdle man for the 1929 squad. Hunt ran the hurdle race for the first time this year and he has excellent form. Kenneth Mills will he back next year and it is expected that it will be left with him to do tin- running broad jump, running, hop, step and jump, and the high jump. Harrold Simms will be hack next year and with his pole vaulting form he should make a good pole vaulter. The King brothers, Williard and Richard will he hard to heat and they will make some one work hard for their berth next year. Both of these boys were good this year but they were unable to make the grade against the strong competition that Coach Pendergast offered. Page one hundred. 01 ' A Page one hundred one ushers C. E. Byrd High School Debating Society Chapter 118 iNational Forensic League I he (,. E. Byrd High School Debating Society was organized two years ago with only a small membership. Last year tlie club grew to a membership of about 15. The Club of ’28 has exceeded all records with a membership of more than 30. 1 he purpose of the Debating Club is to train all boys in debat- ing. argumentation and the ability of thinking on their feet. The Club is made up of members who expect to be lawyers, preachers, and business men who want to be able to express their opinions, whenever they are called upon, in a manner that will be acceptable anywhere. During the past term the Club has participated in two debates with other high schools. The first debate of the year was with Alexandria, the second with New Or! leans. The (dub has engaged in several extemporaneous speaking contests with schools near Shreveport. In addition to holding debates within the Club the society presented a play entitled the very successful.

It is composed of the students of the B Senior English classes, with Miss Florrie klienert as sponsor, and is a literary society of the highest order, combining both the training and know- ledge required of societies of this kind. The purpose of this club is to furnish training in oral composi- tion; to instill in the minds of the pupils the necessary knowledge of Parliamentary proceedure; and to enable the members to keep up with the news of the day. The meetings are held every Friday in class, and the programs consist of interesting topics taken from the Literary Digest and other current magazines. The president of each respective division this term is: First period, Elwyn Chaney; second period. Frank Dill; third period, Cecil Bur- rows; fourth period, Gerald Blackburn; fifth period, Basil Davis. To encourage interest and general activity, two contests, Spelling and Public Speaking, are held each term, the prize for both being a silver loving cup appropriately engraved with the name of the winner. Last term these cups were won by Lina Garland Odom, and Bob Simmons, respectively. The past year the insignia of the society has been a gold pin in the shape of a book, with the initials of the club imprinted upon it.

Aside from their interest in literature, the members of the Pierian Society of Byrd High School, organizd six years ago, have each year been enthusiastic supporters of all scholastic interests of our school. In former years they have attempted to express this interest in schol- astic activities by various donations to the school and by offering scholarships to worthy Pierians to pursue their studies. The Pierians of this year made a generous donation toward the replacement of the money which was stolen from the Senior class ring fund.

The election of officers took place resulting in the election of the following' President, Mary Alice Pendleton. Vice President, John Richardson. Secretary and Treasurer, Margaret Hope. William Fleming was elected to the office of Scribe, and Reba Snider to that of Critic. Miss Rosedale is faculty adviser. The president appointed three committees, the Program Committee, Social Com- mittee and Social Service Committee. These committees have done quite a good deal of charity work. The Social Service Committee took a large basket to a desti- tute family Thanksgiving and again at Christmas time they took a few presents and another large basket. The Program Committee has had good programs throughout the year, each one having been rendered appropriately according to the month. The Social Committee planned an interesting party which was given at the home of Tillie Meyer 1172 Louisiana Ave. This Committee is now planning another party. The purpose of the Latin Club is to show the twentieth century people that Latin is not a dead Language. We are especially eager to show the upper classmen this is not true. The Club is rapidly increasing in number. Most of the members are from the Freshmen Latin Classes and Caesar Classes.

E. BYRD HI-Y CLUB The Hi-Y Club of ibis school is only one of ihe thousands located in the high schools of the United States and even in foreign countries. It is an organization devoted to the character building of high school hoys. As the name indicates, it is combined with the Y. M. C. A. and has accomplished much along its motives in recent years. One of the many things was the establishment of Hi-Y Clubs in Greenwood, Bossier, Haughton, Vivian, Longstreet, and Logansport. The club is reorganized every school term. This year’s club chose for its officers, Tom Ford, President; Vernon Wolfe, Vice-President; and Manning Smith, Secretary-Treasurer. Because of the fact that Tom Ford finished school at mid-term, he resigned as president, and Vernon Wolfe was selected to take his place. Another vice-president was needed so Bowman Whited was elected. About the first of March Vernon resigned from his office; Bowman Whited be- came President, and A. 1). Weaver was elected Vice-President. Each month the meetings are planned in advance by a committee appointed for that purpose, and on every program is something of Bible study or some form of devotional. The meetings are opened and closed by sentence prayers by those who so wish. Although a great deal of the time is spent in studying the Bible, there is also a social program planned and carried out by the members. Among this year’s social events were a chicken fry; and an o’possum hunt. In April the Third Annual Hi-Y Minstrel was given in the C. E. Byrd Auditorium, at Centenary, and also at Homer. The members of the club showed real spirit by turning out practically every night of the weeks directly preceding the minstrel, for practice. Another of the outstanding events of the year was the Older Boys' Conference, held at Huston. R. C. McCoy and James King were among the officers elected at this year’s conference, and it was due to a large extent to their hard work that this conference was the great success that it was. The work of the members of this year’s club practically came to an end at the annual banquet given by the club. This, the last club social event of the year for some, and the last forever for others, was held on May 5, and proved a great success. Farewell addresses were given by those members who graduate; and those who are to be back next yeai told of the things they intend to do. Page one hundred twenty C = -— C G USHERS 7Ae G USHERl 5) SOCIETY The Mardi Gras contest was one t the greatest in the school’s history, due to the popularity of the nominees, Lillian Hobson, Barbara Palmer and Lilliai. Eylers, for queen; Rubye Valentine, Marietta Payne and Genevieve Tennille, fo. maids. On Mardi Gras nighl Lillian Lvl rs was crowned queen by His Royal High ness, Paul Allen. A prettier queen we hud never seen and Paul certainly added his share to the Royal Party. Lillian Hobsca was maid of honor; Calvin Waller, he knight; Rubye Valentine and Marietta Payne, maids, and J. E. Lorkin and Pat Mai lory, their escorts. The ball was given at the Washington and after the minuet all took part in making the dance a brilliant success. The Hi-Y Minstrel, given by the local Hi-Y boys at the school auditorium or. April 5, was proclaimed by all as a rival to Lasses White’s Minstrels. The Senior Class play, “Grumpy,” was presented in the C. E. Byrd audito- rium, May 17, as the first entertainment of Senior Week. Miss Pearl Pryor, head of the English Department, directed the play.

Oh, death! where is thy sting? We entered high school, freshmen humble; And as sophomore’s our voices did ring. We studied our chemistry daily. And our history we studied an age; Our test papers written so gaily. Told much of the John Brown raid. We then became dignified seniors. Three years we worked to this end; It mattered not now, we were seniors. The road we thought had not a bend. We longed for the end that was coming. Thought not just where our path might lay; When new work and new friends we were hunting In the future, just over the way. The time has now come, we are parting. How sad is that small word goodbye; We hate this one thing we are starting, Yet it will all come, and we sigh. Some friends we may have with us always, While others may pass in a day; So dear friends let us each remember, And not let them pass by the way. —RUBY STROUD. “ONE DAY OVERDUE” I’ve been told to write a poem, Goodness knows! what 1 shall say. I’ve sat and chewed my pencil point And I’ve thought of it all day. My mind is just so blank. Oh dear! what shall I do? And I can wait no longer For ’tis one day overdue. I wonder how the poets Write so much each year. I’ve taken just a lot of time And it’s not so good I fear. I’ve used up all my paper. I’ve no more pencil points to chew. And I’ve done the very best A poor nut like me could do. And when you grade this poem Won’t you please remember, (oh please do,) That it’s the best that I could write When it’s one day overdue? —DIXIE STANBERRY.
