H J. 0. Webb Superintendent Harrisburg Independent School District The schools of the Harrisburg Independent School District have experienced a phenomenal growth. The scholastic enrollment has in- creased from 2421 in 1924 to 3543 in 1926. This growth in population explains largely the demand for more facilities. The school patrons have been quick to recognize the needs and have responded liberally in support of bond issues. $500,000 voted within the last two years, out of which two high schools and two large additions to elementary schools have been provided, tells the story of progress in this respect. Many difficult problems have confronted the school board and the superintendent during the past two years. The planning of buildings so that they would be modern and serviceable and at the same time soundly and economically constructed has been a big task. The equipping of buildings so that the best could be secured has in itself been a problem. This phase of the work has now been practically completed and the school district has buildings and equipment of which it need not be ashamed. But buildings and equipment do not make schools. The chief factor in any educational system in the last analysis is the teacher. It has been our aim to employ and retain the best teachers available. Stand- ards have been raised so that now all of our high school teachers are graduates of colleges and universities or have had training equivalent to that. Teachers who continue in our schools must keep abreast of the times. At least once every three years teachers must take work that will better fit them for their tasks. This may be done in summer schools or through extension or correspondence courses. In keeping with the demands made for more efficient service on the part of the teachers has come an increase in their remuneration. Good teachers cannot be secured on poor salaries. During the last two years salaries for grade teachers have increased from $90 to $115 and high school salaries from $125 to $150 and $160. One result seen in having more effective teaching is the raising of standards in the high school. The number of units of affiliation was increased last year from twenty-two to twenty-seven and one-half. This year the number will likely be increased to thirty-two, making a total of ten additional units in the past two years. Another result is improved scholarship in the general mass of the students. The student body as a whole is manifesting a fine attitude toward school work and is seeing the necessity for high standards. We have done much toward developing an excellent program in physical education. This has grown to the extent that the great majority of children are being given the opportunity for healthful, wholesome play. In connection with this has come direct teaching of health lessons, diet, sleeping, and other factors pertaining to good health. Every child in the elementary schools has been weighed and measured several times during the school year and many of them have received direct suggestions that have been the means of getting physical defects corrected. Closely related to this health program is the operation of our school cafeterias. At the present time we have five cafeterias operated in accordance with the best practices in school cafeterias. There has been a notable expansion in the work of the Parent- Teacher Associations. From three organizations two years ago we now have six active organizations that are making good contributions to school progress in the district. We have published both a high school annual and a student news- paper publication and these have been developed to the point that they rate with the best in Texas. In another respect we have made great progress and that is in the building of unity in all parts of the district. The people are coming to realize that all of the schools belong to all of the people in the district and local lines are being obliterated. The people of the Harris- burg District have much to be proud of in the past and much more to hope for and expect in the future. J. 0. Webb, Superintendent of Schools. W. I. Stevenson Principal Chas. H. Milby Senior High School Vernon Johns Grimes Dean of Girls in Milby High School, Director of Physical Edu- cation, Public Speaking Instructor, and Coach for School Plays, also Girl Reserves Advisor. Mrs. Grimes is a graduate in Fine Arts, Mississippi Woman’s College, Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and holds B. S. Degree from S. H. S. T. C., Huntsville, Texas. She is a member of the Woodrow Wilson Scholarship Society. As dean of girls Mrs. Grimes keeps record of the attendance and work of every girl in school. She is their disciplinarian, their advisor in matters of health, troubles, grades, conduct, ambitions, and failures. As director of girls’ athletics, she has two large classes in gymnastics and folk dances, drills, and marches. Miss Bertram assists Mrs. Grimes with basketball, indoor baseball, and volley ball. Tennis has been open to both boys and girls this season. As public speaking instructor, Mrs. Grimes has forty-four students in the 9th, 10th, and 11th grades interested in debates, declama- tions, extemporaneous speech, impromptu speech, and play acting. Lorraine Lyon, trained in this class, won first place in senior girls’ decla- mation at the County Meet. As coach of plays for school or P.-T. A. bene- fits, Mrs. Grimes is responsible. The plays given for the benefit of the Parent-Teachers Association were: “Not So Bad After All,” “The Hoosier School,” “The Visiting Smiths,” “Aunt Billie From Texas.” The senior play was “Mr. Bob.” -------------------------------------------------- •- ■■■■■ ■ ---------------------------------------------------------- ——1 1926 BUFFALO T. L. Barnhouse Principal Harrisburg Junior High School The Harrisburg Junior High School was organized as a separate unit from the senior high school during the present school year. Its establish- ment took place when the schools were organized on the 5-3-3 plan, the junior high school being composed of the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. Since the beginning of the second semester of the present school year, January 26, 1926, the Harrisburg Junior High School has had a principal of its own. Formerly the junior high and the senior high were both housed in the old building at Harrisburg, but on March 29, 1926, the senior high moved to the new Charles H. Milby Senior High School building and the junior high school now has more room for development. The junior high school draws from those children of adolescent age and our course of study and organization should be such as to appeal to the adolescent child. The most important aims of the junior high school organization, in my opinion, are as follows: (1) To humanize the educa- tion of adolescents; (2) To prevent unnecessary withdrawals; (3) To fur- ther the cause of democracy in education; (4) To develop personal charac- ter and train for good citizenship. The Harrisburg Junior High School is endeavoring to accomplish the aims set forth above. (1) We attempt to humanize instruction by appeal- ing to the individual whenever possible; (2) We believe that unnecessary withdrawals can be prevented by adapting the school work to the needs of the pupils and by appealing to the interests of the students; (3) The cause of democracy in education may be furthered by giving each child an equal opportunity, regardless of whether such child is rich or poor, good or bad, exceptional or backward; (4) We can develop character and train for good citizenship through physical training, required of every student, and through collateral activities such as the girl reserves, Hi-Y and other clubs, student welfare committee, etc. Of course we cannot accomplish all the things we desire overnight; for it takes time to work out a satisfac- tory organization. However, a great deal has been done during the present school year and we hope to continue to progress in the future. T. L. Barnhouse, Principal, Harrisburg Junior High School.

One was the introduction of a definitely arranged program of physical education for all Junior High School boys and girls. The second was the addition of a dean of girls for the Junior High School. Miss Virginia Roby came to us at that time to act as both dean of girls and director of physical education. Since the coming of Miss Roby to our school material progress has been made along a number of lines. She has direct supervision over the attendance records and general conduct of about one hundred and seventy- five girls. All admit slips to classes and all excuses for absences that are issued to the Junior High School girls pass through her hands. Miss Roby organized and has supervision over all the teams and other forms of play in the Junior High School. It was under her direction that a forty-five minute play period for each child in the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades was instituted. She has spent a great deal of time in stressing the idea of having a “proper attitude” toward school work. Through her kindly advice and helpful suggestions she has won the confidence and affection of the girls under her care and a remarkable amount of co-operation has been secured from these pupils. As a result of the efforts of the dean marked improvement has been made in the conduct and school spirit of all girls of the Junior High. PARK JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL The part of the Harrisburg Independent School District which embraces Magnolia Park, Central Park, and Pine View has grown at such rapid rate for the past few years that it has been next to im- possible to keep the schools up with the increase in scholastic popu- lation. The Magnolia Park Elementary School building has been en- larged several times in an effort to care for the ever increasing num- ber of children sent to it. Before this year, that school enrolled all children in these communities from the first to the seventh grades inclusive. Those above the seventh grade were sent to the Harrisburg High School. Last year it was decided to re-organize the schools on the 5-3-3 plan, and to carry out a building program in the District that would adequately care for the growth in population. The voting of bonds, and the erection of the Milby Senior High School and the Park Junior High School were the results of this decision. At the opening of school in September, the Park Junior High School began its first year in the Baptist Sunday School buildings and in the rooms on the second floor of the Magnolia Park Elementary School. Needless to say, we were handicapped very much by this very unsatisfactory housing condition. After days of waiting that had lengthened into weeks, we were per- mitted to move into the first unit of the Park Junior High School building on December 14, 1925. Since that time we have been comfortably housed, although we have been handicapped by the littered condition of the campus, and the noise necessitated by the construction of the other units of the building. When our building is completed, we will have a splendid modern school plant to house the students of Park Junior High School. With the completion of our school plant, we will have far better conditions under which to work, and we hope that Park Junior High School will go forward with a program of development which will be a credit to this community, and of greater service to the many boys and girls who will enroll in it from year to year. —Richard L.

WiUiA CHRISTIAN tjiA :, (ifvmMv GIFT TO THE SCHOOL We are glad to announce to our readers the most substantial gift that has ever been offered to our school by an individual. Having an appreciation of the available scientific equipment in the department of Chemistry and being deeply interested in the welfare of our boys and girls that they might have an opportunity to look into the great field of science, the Texas Chemical Company, located in this district, comes to our assistance in a very fine way. This splendid gift comes in the form of laboratory equipment for chemistry of the latest and most up-to-date type offered to the public. The Lincoln desk is well recognized over our nation as the most suitable, commodious, and conveniently arranged chemical equipment for students which can be purchased. It was designed in one of our great educational institutions, viz., Columbia University of New York City. The idea of individual work, rather than the group, is carried out. Mr. S. Peiser, president of the Texas Chemical Company, is direct- ly responsible for this magnificent gift to the Charles H. Milby Senior High School, and we shall always be indebted to him. Mr. J. S. Deady, president of the Board of Education and officially connected with the Texas Chemical Company, is due praise and recognition in being indi- rectly responsible for this gift to our school. All of our readers will be interested in knowing that the value of this equipment installed will approximate $2,750.00. A bronze tablet has recently been placed on the wall of the chem- istry room which reveals to us the spirit and promptings of the giver. It reads as follows: DEDICATED TO “Our boys and girls that they might have a keener appreciation of Chemistry in its relation to indus- try, and that they might become more useful citi- zens. ’ Let us hope that our oncoming chemistry students may all dedicate their purpose and energy to this noble task. 1925 vfBUFFALO IMPRESSIONS OF OUR SENIOR FACULTY—A SENIOR Mrs. Grimes—Miss “Johnny”, dean of girls; abundance of red hair; every girl’s pal and confidant; public speaker; graduate of Sam Houston State Teachers’ College; clever reader and impersonator; states that she is “tickled to death’’ to look after the troubles, health, happiness, and wel- fare of her girls.

We had a distinct revulsion of the feeling of complacency which filled us as we graduated from grammar school. We were now very much in awe of the upper classmen. We felt their eyes upon us and prepared for the worst, which was soon forthcoming. We were seized by the eager and voracious sophomores and literally torn wrong side out. Those of us who took our punishment meekly were not further molested, but for those of us who resisted, more and dire punish- ment lay in store. We all passed through a very serene and happy fresh- man year and—lo and behold! We found ourselves ensconced upon the throne of the sophisticated sophs. There were twenty-five of us who reached this stage of achievement, namely: Esther Bruce, Martha Grigs- by, Edith Hanner, Ella Wolfer, Gertrude Eichblatt, Isabel Harris, Mar- guerite Knowles, Virginia Myers, Ruthie Belle Rial, Luella Ross, Hettie Streeter, Marguerite Wright, Harrison Dod, W. A. Frier, Herbert Loesch, Jerome McKean, Ross Pond, Woodie Wilson, John Will Holloway, and Mattie Cottingham from the freshman class of the year before, and five new additions: Maurine Humes, Lorene Kasper, Florence Withrow, Charles Holmans, and Cecil McBurnett. We felt more sure of ourselves by this time. We had entered into numer- ous activities and had emerged with flying colors. When we endeavored to vanquish the freshmen we found that, to our amazement, we had “bit- ten off more than we could successfully masticate.” However, we declared Ft THE 1926 BUFFALO Ft a truce and the “fish” were only too glad to declare the affray a draw. And they weren’t the only glad persons. Our soph days passed exceedingly rapidly and we beheld the door of juniordom opened to our anticipatory gaze. Then came that weeder-out of the mentally weak, the Final Exam- ination. But the great majority of our number overcame all obstacles and in the year 1924, late in September, we returned to old Harrisburg and took our places in the room just left vacant by the then jubilant seniors. We felt very confident partly of past successes and partly in anticipation of future achievements. Some of our number had fallen by the way, but these new folks: Lizzie Mary Swedberg, Cornelia Maness, Nell McChesney, Lionel Badeaux, Bern- hard Patton, Marshall Rinehart, Nazelle Holmes, Margarita Harding, Lonnie Estes, Martha Kingsley, Victor Bond and Laurence Charlesworth, completed our class roll for our junior year. After decorating the winning car in the Carnival, conducting a candy sale, editing an edition of School News, having our pictures taken for the Annual, we concluded that we had done everything that was to be done in a very satisfactory manner. We concluded that we were the best class Harrisburg ever had, and yet we awaited with awe the day that would make us seniors. At last we realized the zenith of our ambition. We were seniors! We felt that we were amply rewarded for our years of toil and unceasing labor. We could now look disdainfully down upon the lower classmen in their struggles with “math,” English, and Latin. We were sure that we could never reach a higher plane. But the ecstasy of being seniors wore off after two or three weeks of floating on the clouds of superiority. We settled down to the tedium of daily study and recitation. Just now we are awaiting the tests which will inform us of our success or failure, whether or not we will graduate from our new’ Milby High, the best school in the state. We feel that it has been a great advantage to have been able to go to Harrisburg and Milby High, to have been able to take advantage of the high type of teachers who w’ere in charge. We regret that we must leave the scenes of many good times and friendships. So it is fitting that we, the Senior Class of 1926, bid each and every one of our friends and class- mates a sincere farewell.

The lamplight seemed to glimmer in the silence most profound. As the flashing forms of Gatlin and Hagins hurled a runner to the ground; And I saw a Heights form starting through the dust or mud, As he landed on his forehead with a yiaiiseating thud. ’Twas a fragrant retrospection—for amid the Blue-Gold glow I heard the thudding musketry of Winfred Jackson’s toe; And the raging Hornet chorus echoed and reverberated far, As I saw the dropkicks sailing on their way across the bar. I can see another flutter from a pair of dancing feet, As the famous Hardee goes whirling down the Heights-Junior street, And upon the runt they lay no hands as he leads them by a span. And the Hornet thunder rages with the name of Johnny Giv-i-dan. I saw Krenek’s spii'als sailing through the bright November air; I saw Frier chasing Heights-Juniors as they scampered for their lair; I saw Dow taking Juniors by the napes of many necks, As White left them sore and bleeding in a mass of total wrecks. I saw Crosby dash to glory—I saw Reardon hit the line As his cleated feet went prancing on across some Heights-Junior’s spine; And I caught the ancient fervor, till saw amid the pall, That the heroes I was cheering were but shadotvs on the wall. Gang: Please keep these bloody memories in your minds, as you tram- ple on those Heights-Junior bunch of Hams. Yours victoriously, WlL-YAM WlL-SUN. [Ft! THE 1925 BUFFALO ft I [Ft!

THE 1926 hi BUFFALO Hf Dorothy McMahon— Yell Leader Introducing Dorothy McMahon, our Jol- ly assistant yell leader who has ever been a staunch enthusiast of athletics. We shall miss Dorothy’s pranks after she graduates in June. Epimk Snydbb— Yell Leader” Eppie is a peppy student from a peppy class. Her enthusiasm and personality have won her a place in the hearts of every Harrisburg student. In the capacity of yell leader. Eppie has had a chance to display all these traits. Har- risburg will never forget the ser- vices Eppie has rendered. Pauline Noble— Sponsor” This is Pauline’s first year at Harris- burg. but in this short time she has proved to be a successful leader and a good “mixer,” and will probably prove to be invaluable to the Blue and Gold.” Ross Poxn—“Yell Ivcadcr” For four years Harrisburg has been the possessor of one of the most dependable and studious boys that the county can boast. He has been fighting steadily for the Blue and Gold with a never ending devotion for these colors. We shall miss Ross with his “never dying” spirit. Btrrmx Dorrfi.i.— Coach” A pal and advisor of the boys: a friend of the faculty and the girls; a splendid teacher; an able coach. Leo Richter—“Center Leo” has Just played his first year of football for the Blue and Gold. He will always be remembered for the good game he played against Humble. Charles Reardon— Halfback Lord Chesterfield” has also com- pleted his first year of Senior High School football. The school will remember Reardon by his ability to smoke and plunge the line for remarkable gains. Woodie Wilson— Quarterback There was only one way to stop Woodie” when he got started and that was an automobile wreck in which Woodie broke his leg. Woodie played bang- up football for the Blue and Gold this year and is a brainy, fast, and dangerous man. If he is able he will be a great asset to the team next year. Carl Ryan— Guard” Ryan was a terror to opposing backs, many a play has been smeared by this Kid” before it had got under way. Lawrence Crosby— Captain Halfback” “Lawrence” besides being one of the hard- est hitting and fastest halfs in the coun- ty, has proven himself one of the most able leaders Harrisburg has had in years. Lawrence is the type of player who takes the game to his heart. He makes each player feel his responsibility. Crosby has played two years of football and is elected Captain for next year. J. C. Gatlin—“Tackle Gatlin is a willing worker and a bear on the defense. Opponents, in most cases, found Gatlin’s position a stone wall. He played his best game at Heights. He was in every play in this game. This makes his first year and it is probable that he will be back next year. W. A. Frikk— Tackle Frier has played his last game for the blue and gold. Frier was a good loser and hard fighter. He played his first game remark- ably well. Frier is one of the men who graduate this year. Alfred “Bobby Dow— Guard Bobby has played his first year at guard. His height has enabled him to make his first letter in football. Pat Hard� :— End As a high school end. Pat is par excellent. This was Hardee’s first season in football, but he has proven one of the most valu- able men on the team. Hardee covers lots of ground, is a sure receiver of a forward pass and an excellent tackle. Robert Harm no— Quarterback The boy with the small stature and the healthy lungs which enable him to call signals. This makes his first year of football, and he will prove a valuable man next year. n [Ft! THE 1926 BUFFALO Ft i u John Runt Giviiikn—“Quarterback “Runt has proven himself to be Harris- burg's best broken field runner his first season. All through the season he was forced against men who outweighed him from 50 to 60 pounds, hut he came through with flying colors. Winfred Jackson—“End Jackson has just finished his first season of football. He has won himself a place in the hearts of all the boys by his aggressive- ness and willingness. He is an excellent tackle and a sure re- ceiver of a pass. Omar Haoinh—“Guard Hagins, an excellent tackle and heavy linesman, will be of great help to the team next year. Herman Doc Krenek— “Fullback Krenek has played his second season for Harrisburg. As a line plunger Doc” was unequalled by any one on the squad. He plowed his way through oppo- nent lines. Krenek will be back again next year. Ai.hkrt White—(Center) White finished his third season for Har- risburg. The first two years he played left end, but he played this season at cen- ter. With his weight he strengthened the light Hornet line, and was the mainstay of line. White is graduating this year also. Ft! THE 1926 BUFFALO Ft!

The number of athletes was limited. The boys and girls made an unusually fine showing in spirit, attitude, and ability to play the game according to rules and regulations. In football Coach Dorrell had only two men around whom to build a football team that became flashy and plucky before the season closed. After suffering the loss of our quarterback in an accident we were given a jar that we never fully recovered from during the latter part of the season. The opening game was won from Heights Junior by the score of 7 to 6. The Alvin score was 0 to 0. We next defeated the Clinton High School by the score of 29 to 0. The next Friday we tasted our first de- feat at the hands of Humble High, the score being 56 to 0. West End was easy for our fighting Hornets, the score being 49 to 0. The last game of the season was full of thrills and pep and the Hornets went down under the powerful machine of the Heights Junior boys by the score of 13 to 0. In basketball we were handicapped by the loss of our best cagemen due to examinations. The team showed a fine spirit and a promising five looms for next year. The new gymnasium will add to our interest in the realm of basketball. The track team was strong and registered many points against their opponents. There were several boys on the track squad that will bid for berths in the larger colleges. The track team outpointed any of its rivals in the County Meet, considering the number of events that they entered. We hope to see the faces of all the boys back on the track next year. We must not forget the girls’ basketball team. The Harrisburg girls showed a fine spirit and during the entire season they were unable to meet any team that was faster and more accurate than they were. The Harrisburg loyal fans and supporters hope to see the faces of the athletes on the gridiron next fall. Yea! Hornets! Fight ’em !

Regular meet- ings have been held each week for the purpose of transacting business and making a definite study of the Bible and school problems. Rev. Ernest S. Sansom has been of great help and inspiration to the boys, as their leader. The members of the club have held several social gatherings indoors and out, have entertained the Milby Hi Girl Reserves, co-operated with the school authorities in maintaining right attitude and behavior around the school and in school activities, sent two delegates to the State Y. M. C. A. Convention in Austin, presented the new Milby High library with a fine set of books—The Father and Son Library of 21 volumes—and staged a very successful Minstrel Show in the new Auditorium, the proceeds being used to help several school activities that needed financial boosting. “service without SHOW” is the Milby Hi-Y motto. C. E. McGeath Hanis County Y. M. C. A. Secretary COUNTY WIDE INTERESTS Owing to the fine spirit of co-operation in the schools, churches, and homes in Harris County, it has been possible to extend the work of the County Y. M. C. A. faster than had been planned at first and we are glad to make the following report of the group work. One senior Hi-Y Club for boys in Harrisburg and Crosby High Schools, two senior clubs for boys in the Humble High, one club for girls in the Crosby and Humble High; Junior Hi-Y clubs in Harrisburg Junior High, Magnolia Park Junior High, and Humble Junior High. Pioneer groups in Humble Grammar School, Pasadena Grammar School, Harrisburg and Magnolia Park Grade Schools, in the Central Park Presbyterian and Mag- nolia Park Christian Sunday Schools. Co-operating with W. G. Smiley, Superintendent of Harris County Pub- lic Schools, we have been able to reach over four thousand boys and girls in the rural schools with a playground program during the year.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council of Milby High School was organized to act as a middle-man between the students and the faculty. Throughout the year the council has sponsored many important activities of the student body. It attended to the subscription to a co-operative library, introduced by our superintendent, Mr. Webb; it attended to the issuing of annual athletic passes; it sponsored the election of officers of the student body as a whole; it attended to the sale of Milby belts; and it sponsored many undertakings for the entertainment of guests at the District Meet. The council is composed of three representatives from each class in the Senior High School.

The Scholastic year of 1925-1926 was a great year in the history of the Milby High School Parent-Teacher Association. Handicapped by the ill- ness and finally the enforced resignation of its president, Mrs. E. K. McMahan, because of her illness, other officers and members rallied to the cause and much was accomplished. Not the least accomplishment was the establishment of a $150 scholarship for the pupil making the best all- around record at the school, the first award to be made at Commencement in June, 1926. This is a permanent scholarship and will be awarded to some Milby graduate each year. Two pianos were purchased for the High School—a popular make Concert Grand and an upright piano for the gym- nasium. A dean was appointed to look after the welfare of the girls of the school. Mrs. Vernon Johns Grimes was selected for this important posi- tion. Officers at the close of the scholastic year were as follows: President............... First Vice-president.... Second Vice President... Third Vice President.... Recording Secretary.... Corresponding Secretary Parliamentarian......... Treasurer.............. ....Mrs. W. W. Pigue ............(Vacant) Mrs. A. F. Armstrong ....Mrs. R. S. Cagle ....Mrs. G. F. Evans . .Mrs. W. J. Harding ....Mrs. F. P. Davis .....Mrs. V. G. Ross HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA The Milby High School Orchestra is composed of fifteen members.

I. Nr. Kdiiur io I'hkf and MNrrt «1IU I. Hualiwa. Maoarrr The Student Echo, published monthly by the students of Milby High, is the official paper for the several schools in the district. The subscrip- tion fee of 50 cents a year makes it possible for a copy to enter practically every home in the district. Established in September, 1924, under the title of School News, the paper has served not only as a medium for the development and expression of journalistic talents, but to establish a common interest around which the students and patrons of the widely separated units in the district might rally. So well has it accomplished its aim that more than 800 copies are distributed each issue. The second year witnessed a decided improvement, both in the manage- ment and general make-up of the paper. A new and more appropriate name, The Student Echo, was chosen. With Cuma Rowe as editor-in- chief and Eppie Snyder as business manager, a new era was begun. The annual popularity contest and an essay writing contest were features of the accomplishments for the first semester. For the second semester, Lionel Badeaux as editor-in-chief and Albert White as business manager led to even greater journalistic achievements. Special class and school issues served to create a spirit of friendly rivalry and interest. Mention should be made of the very creditable Senior issue edited especially for distribution at the dedication of the Milby High School. The Hi-Y Boy and Girl Reserves joint issue set a new standard for excellence in jour- nalistic endeavors. If in the future years, some ex-student of Milby High School should find in his memory book or in the remote corners of his possessions one article that recalls happy school days, then one of the aims in publishing The Student Echo will have been accomplished. There comes a time in every man’s life when he asks himself the ques- tion: “What’s the use of living?” This question presents itself usually as a result of some event in the man’s life which has caused him to grow despondent and to consider leaving this world of ours; or it may come as a result of much concentrated study of the problems of Life. He asks himself this question without realizing the greatness, the vitalness, and the direct effect which his conclusion—if he so much as reaches one—will have on his own life. His life afterwards may be involved in a chaotic maelstrom of inconsistency; he may have aroused within himself an ambition which will remain with him until it is satiated; or he may enter into a realm of happiness which had previously seemed incredible. There- fore, before continuing further, let it be understood that the conclusion one arrives at is vital to his future welfare. What is the USE of living? Why is it necessary that one should spend a great part of his life gaining an education? Would it not be better to exist in ignorance? Surely it would be easier. Why do countless numbers of men and women go forth each morning to a day of trying toil? It would be more enjoyable to pass the day at home, would it not? Why, since time immemorial, do nations involve themselves in disastrous war- fare? Would it not be to the welfare of the world to live in peace? These questions and hundreds of others present themselves, all originating from the one vital question: “What’s the use of living?” Since the beginning of time, man has been the dominant creature on earth. He is superior to all and inferior to none. He has risen from a state of illiteracy to one of unequaled intelligence. He has overcome all obstacles and conquered the universe. He has harnessed the forces of nature and uses them as he wills. He has builded empires which have fallen, to be replaced by greater ones. Man’s progress is phenomenal. He has made of this world a place in which it is possible to live intelligently. But the question arises: Of what relation is the progress of man to the subject of this article? In a word, the progress of mankind solves the question, “What’s the use of living?” Man was placed on earth with a superior intellect, and the possessor of unlimited powers, not to gain per- sonal happiness, wealth, power, influence, and many other “whims” that the vast majority are wont to pursue, but to so work and to so use his knowledge, that when his short period of existence has come to an end, he will have achieved something which will have helped his fellowmen to get along, and which will tend to make of this world a better place to live in for the generations to come.—Pat Welch. SUNRISE ON THE BAY The moon light is waning, A faint glow retaining, As it sinks down in the bay. The birds are all joyous, Together they chorus, Hailing the coming day. The pink light is growing. The heavens overflowing. The night fast fades away. The sun, not yet risen, In the pink dome of heaven, Begins to shine over the bay. As higher and higher grows the sun The stars all vanish one by one And brighter grows the day. There never was such a pleasant sight To see, after a weary night Than a sunrise on the bay. —Evelyn Virginia Sims. I a! A NIGHT ON THE GULF Moonlight, and all serene, Out on the Gulf of Mexico, Moonlight, and stars agleam. Where the breezes murmur soft and low. It is a very wonderful thing To spend a night out there. You seem to hear the mermaids sing, Combing their long golden hair. Out on the waters the fishermen glide In their boats silhouetted against the sky. Sometimes two or three side by side Go silently gliding by. Soon the moon had set and the dawn, Pink and glorious, touched the eastern sky; Gladly we hailed the welcome morn, For the night had gone slowly by. —Evelyn Virginia Sims. “OH, WAD THE POWER—” I really can’t see anything humorous about the subject of picture mak- ing, except the picture. These pictures that are being made so promiscu- ously are funny to almost everyone excepting the person whom they are to represent. To that person they are a tragedy. I have had my picture taken, and I know all about it. I looked at a proof and saw staring up at me a wild-eyed, wrinkled, freckle-faced creature, and I shuddered when the photographer told me that that was myself. Oh, the irony of fate! Why wasn’t I born beautiful and dumb instead of just dumb? I showed the proof to a friend in the hope of gaining some consolation, but to my horror she said that it was a good picture of me. Another friend, who is inclined to be catty, even had the nerve to say that the picture flattered me. Humph! Do you see anything to laugh at? Burns may say whatever he likes, but I’m mighty glad that the giftie dinna gie us the power to see ourselves as others see us.—Echo. ONE’S SENSATION AFTER STUDYING GRAMMAR THREE WEEKS I awoke at about sunrise on a beautiful spring morning, and contentedly lay in bed and mused. My train of thought gradually wandered to my lessons of the day, remaining on my English lesson, which was the most difficult lesson I had had in any of my subjects for many days. For three weeks we had made a thorough study of the construction of English sentences—a study so intense that my previous study of the English language could not be compared with it. Our lesson for that day, which was to finish our intensive study of English, was so difficult that I carelessly remarked to myself: “Our English lesson for today is awful.” The surprise caused by hear- ing myself use the word awful in such a manner aroused me from my musing and constrained me to arise. Only the day before our English teacher had cautioned us about the use of awful in such construction. As I dressed and went downstairs I reflected that the day was very beautiful. My reflections on this subject caused me to recall the times that I had heard weather used as a topic of conversation and described by uncultured people, lovely. That, however, was not such a bad mistake in the use of words, for the beautiful weather certainly had turned the thoughts of several of my acquaintances to love. I managed to keep my thoughts off such a dismal subject as English while I was breakfasting and getting ready tor school, but when I tried to amuse myself, during the short time I had before it was necessary for me to start to school, my thoughts were turned to the grammar I had learned in the past weeks. As I was looking through one of my father’s farm papers, an article on the raising of turkeys attracted my attention. Turkeys have always inter- ested me, but this article on turkeys was very disappointing. The helpful hints that it gave on raising turkeys were obscured by the incorrect use of English. There was a change of voice with every sentence, so the composition ran like this: “Turkeys require a large amount of pasture. Let them range over the entire farm. Since they require much green feed, plant crops that will furnish them pasture.” I put the paper aside in disgust, saying: “Schooling is supposed to make one appreciate life more, but my fastidi- ous English training has ruined my appreciation of the humble people.” I picked up my Spanish book, determined to amuse myself with a story which would not remind me of my intense study of the English language. —Jerome McKean. CLASS POEM We, the Senior Class of ’26, are realizing The scenes which soon shall touch our heart, The time when our school days are ended And we thus f rom each other shall part— Part from the things which we loved so well At the spacious building of Milby High. We shall each start a new era in life As we bid its old familiar halls “Goodbye”. We, the Senior Class of ’26, well know That some great future for us is in store, And as we go on and face life squarely, Sacred ties will bind us evermore. Back we will turn our thoughts so true As we will sit and ponder with a sigh. Of days that are gone but not forgotten. The days that were spent at Milby High. There are friends whom we can never repay For all the labor that they for us have done. Who faithfully guided us for many years Until our high school victory was won. These kind-hearted friends are our dear teachers. It is they who deserve this great respect They have taught us to try and succeed And to labor for things that we shall expect. -4« we think of duties that are yet to come, We will do everything that is within our power, To try to make things in life worthwhile And not just think of the passing hour. We will strive to do greater and better things And to achieve real and lasting success For it is through these things alone That one may find pure, genuine happiness. —Anne Marie Molk. SOCIAL SENIOR PARTY The 1925 social season was appropriately ushered in with a class party given by the seniors at the home of Ruthie Belle Rial, Friday night, Octo- ber 2. Everyone present enjoyed a delightful evening of dancing and game playing. Among the guests were the members of the school orchestra and the football players. The pleasant evening was closed with the serving of refreshments con- sisting of ice cream and cake.

On Wednesday morning, November 18th, the Girl Reserves from Cen- tral High School entertained in assembly. The group in full costume presented several Girl Reserve songs and a number of short talks on Girl Reserves activities. POPULARITY CONTEST By far the most spirited demonstration of student enthusiasm during the entire school year was evinced in the popularity contest, sponsored by the Student Echo in the latter part of November. A total of one hundred and fifty votes was cast. The results were as follows: One of the most prominent social events of the season was the Senior banquet given in honor of the football team, at the close of the football season. The occasion took place in the school cafeteria, which was beauti- fully decorated with the class colors of silver and heliotrope. Addresses were delivered by Mr. Stevenson, Mr. Gale, Mr. Dorrell, Miss Neville, Mr. Webb, Lawrence Crosby, captain of the Hornets, and Mrs. Vernon Grimes, who contributed a reading to the entertainment of the evening.

Members of the High One Class journeyed to Hermann Park on the night of November 20 and enjoyed a pleasant evening of marshmallow toasting. FACULTY MEMBERS ENTERTAIN IN CHAPEL What proved to be one of the most poignantly interesting programs of the year was presented in chapel Tuesday morning, November 10. Mem- bers of the high school faculty, in characteristic attire, furnished the en- tertainment with a portrayal of the Senior class of ’26 as it will appear a few years hence when its members will have reached the junior year in college. Among the most hilarious impersonations was the portrayal of Harrison Dod, by Mr. Stevenson. Mr. Stevenson displayed surprising aptitude in solving mathematical problems and agility at balancing him- self on the back of a chair during the recitation period. Mrs. Grimes, as Martha Kingsley; Mr. Dorrell, as Ross Pond; and Miss Barcus, as Dorothy McMahon also rendered splendid impersonations. • JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS ENTERTAINS FRESHMEN The school was highly honored Tuesday, Nov. 3, when the Freshman class acted as host to the well-known Texas poet, Judd Mortimer Lewis.

Refreshments consisting of pumpkin pie and lemonade were served. An interesting program arranged for the benefit of the piano fund was presented to an enthusiastic audience on the night of November 4th. The interesting exhibition by the Y. M. C.
