AS an acknowledgment of his superior educational ability and untiring efforts for our school, which have endeared him to the Seventeen Class, this volume of the Santa Fe Trail is sincerely dedicated to J. G. Dunlap. 1 IR. DUNLAP is a Mississippian and came to Texas in 1883. He attended the Pea- 1VJ. body Normal Institute and University of Nashville, securing a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1896. He taught in the Central Texas Institute, and later in V eatherford College, moving to Cleburne in 1905, and becoming Principal of the High School in 1913, which position he still holds. Page 6 Foreword: In the 1917 Santa Fe Trail we offer the results of our efforts in trying to record the year's history of the entire High School. Our thought has been to make the book representative — a store house for future thoughts and remembrances. I able of Contents m I. Classes II. Administration and Alumni III.

Ur— 101 F Trail . j BJ 916-1917 EPTEMBER 1917 saw the northwest corner of Cleburne High School filled with the largest number of candidates for graduation in the history of the school. Fate seemed, however, to have decreed that the class of ' 16 should outstrip us in the number that should complete the race, and be in a position to claim the sheep skin at the close of the second semester. Some of our best members moved from our city, others were forced to withdraw from various reasons, and yet a fewer number because of what might be termed hard luck, failed to acquire the desired number of units. Present indications point to the fact that the preceding class will have the edge on us by two or three—but that’s all. What sort of a class is the Seventeen bunch? No, we haven't sent any one to con- gress or the president’s seat —as yet; but we may say, and that with some emphasis that we have a splendid class as a resume of the year’s work will disclose. In football our class was fairly well represented. The same will hold true in basketball, both girls and boys, track and baseball. Therefore we claim a part of the honor associated with athletic activities. Some one has said in irony that we were a good bunch, stood in with the faculty and hadn't caused many disturbances during the year. We hope the charge is true, but we fear those in authority will too vividly recall the combustion that took place when the pennant committee of our class hung in the study hall the large Senior pennant, and some of the mem- bers allowed their exuberance of spirits and loyalty to their class to lead them into the unpar- donable crime of clapping their hands. However, we were informed later that they were enabled to effect their escape without serious injury to any of the participants. (The pep stunt is set forth elsewhere.) This article is not intended as a summary of the happenings of the year —they will be detailed elsewhere, but one other affair is worthy of mention here—that is the Hallowe’en party given the Juniors by the Seniors. It proved to be about the most enjoyable occasion of the whole term. These have been the tangible things, but there have been traditions fostered, sentiments upheld, which have contributed to that spirit which is certainly present in our school life. Without any egotism, we believe that when the school board gives us our diplomas in May, and we march out to face the battles of life, they will look after us longingly and with a reluct- ant benediction say, there goes a keen bunch. Page 9 Long Dupree Chiles Stone Vater Clarence Long: One of the best liked fellows in the class - 'tends strictly to his own business, and so far as we can ascertain is not in love. He is every- body’s friend and nobody’s enemy. Mattie Dupree: Mattie is one of the quiet kind, but tho’ she is quiet she’s not dead to the world. Give her something to do and you can depend on it being done. Allen Yater: He isn’t much of a ’ladies’ man however, and often appears alone. Regardless of this fact he does like to view them from afar. Eula Stone: Can always start something and then finish it. Doesn’t make much noise, but she has made a big hit — studiously speaking. Elizabeth Chiles: She has many friends and is an all- round girl with a good intellect, a strong will and a big heart. On the whole she is a very pleas- ant person to have around. Page 10 Cox Pegues Herrscher Rainey Knopp Buford Cox: Is there another like him? No, not in ten thousand! Always reserved and quiet spoken, he has the quality which few attain - that is the good sense to tend to his own business. Jennie Bess Pegues: Bess has interspersed her High School career with trying to learn that amo- amare-amavi ye gods, what’s the rest of it stuff. She has a charming personality and a keen sense of humor, which are partly responsible for her many friends. Norma Knopp: A child of our grandmother Eve, whose very manner seems to say, 1 have not sought the world, the world has not sought me. Ask her and she will tell you there is no royal path which leads to Geometry. Margaret Rainey: This lady believes there is a high tariff on extra words and that books were made to study. She is the favorite of all her Math, and Latin profs. She has great reserve but when you once break through, you have a friend indeed. Mildred Herrscher: Illustrates what a few brains well placed will do. Blossoms forth every now and then in a basket ball suit. Not even her intimate as- sociation with Caesar, Cicero and Virgil has caused her to agree with her Latin instructors. Stella Coffman: She speaks in a monstrous little voice which seems to say, It is not wise to be wiser than necessary. Her modesty is a candle to her merits. f 7Jessie Taylor: Jessie often makes use of the well- known fact that Spirited assertion goes for proof half the world over. Those about her from her shall learn the perfect ways of honor —we know some people who need to stay around her more. Harold Davenport: Then his face grew pale and thinner than should be for one so young. And his eyes on all her motions with a Mute observance hung. Mary Cleveland: Oh, Mary, Mary, quite con- trary. where did you get such eyes? By the daz- zling way'in which her eight fingers and two thumbs tickle the ivories, she has many times touched the musical hearts of the stuoents of C. H. S. Ruth Cox: When the future historian reviews our age thru the lens of time there will stand out one per- sonality---Ruth Cox. Hasn’t asked a question since she’s been here. Time alone can unfold the secret. Page’ 12 M 4 ™E ANVJHL m— ' ifv Trail , 1 V' Johnson L. Cleveland Montgomery Miller Gage Tom Johnson: One would naturally suppose from his quiet and ambitious disposition that he was nix with the ladies, so he is, one of the few of his class- mates who is never troubled with love sickness. Gus Gage: Hail, the Boy Orator! Hadn't been in Cleburne High two months before his silvery ton- gue and argumentative turn marked him as defender and exemplar of the Senior Class---another Demos- thenes. Elsie Miller: She is a faithful worker who some- times hopes to go into foreign countries and teach the green-eyed heathens how to work their faces. We guess it s a simple case of You can’t keep a good girl down. Vivienne Montgomery: Vivienne, sweet as the primrose peeps beneath the thorn; gentle of speech, beneficent of mind, and with a natural wise sincerity is a living example of the old saying that, He is oft the wisest man who is not wise at all. Lora Cleveland: Lora has been accused of the ice factory, north pole stuff, but there’s really nothing to it ‘when you know her. Her word is as good as the laws of the Medes and Persians. Page 13 Veda Salter: Good health and good sense are two of life's greatest blessings. Veda, then, who doth indeed show some sparks that are like wit. is blessed. Emry Taylor: Emry jined us as a Junior from Blum and claims Cicero as his Alma Papa. He is great on asking the profs, some questions which they or no one else can answer. But he works some and he is destined to make a name for himself in the near future. Flora Lee Sauerman: when it comes to history, the time when we will sec on the back of some very of Cleburne High. She sincere friend. Vesta Foster: She is rustic bred, of nature worth, yet versed in cities.” Steady, slow of speech, but with quaint wisdom she steals along, far from the world’s gay, busy throng. Bushrod Allin: Bush is a mammoth question mark personified. But when he learns all he wants to know he will be so wise we will all wish that we had had nerve enough to ask a few more questions when we had the chance. Flo is a crackerjack We all look forward to her cognomen inscribed important history---as that is a loyal student, and a ■ Page 14 B. M. Salter Glenn Newton McFadden Benson Bessie Mae Salter: Bessie Mac used to stand well too. but---like many another deluded young girl, she adopted the slick hair dress and brow band, and had to suffer the consequences. Once attended a Junior-Senior party and has been able to give infor- mation concerning it since. Leon Glenn: Has one of those “wynken, blyken and nod looks, unwreathed in a “don’tcherknow expression, both of which link together to form those laughing eyes, and an amiable disposition. Llveta Benson: Llveta is one of the kind who works away silently but never the less effectively. She is always ready and willing to offer a helping hand and it s a Hersheys to a Spearmint that we will hear from her in the future. y Vera McFadden: “A merry heart doth good like medicine.” Vera, then, bold in heart, and act, and word would make an exceedingly good tonic. From her we feel assured that the most manifest sign of wisdom is a continual cheerfulness. Kent Newton: Kent is timid and bashful, and yet believes in woman suffrage. Why, we know not- Wrestles with everything visible but his studies. Page 15 Ona Slaughter: “Where inward dignity joins out- ward state.” Ona is one of the few girls of the non- horn-tooting variety; but she has one bad habit---she will chew gum. Gladys Simmonds: There is a mischievous twinkle in her eye, a pout on her red lips, and a toss of her head that reminds one of the naughty little boy who stole the jam. Gladys is always in a good humcr and it is almost impossible to stay around her without be- ing the same way. William Hester: He has two ruling passions- — chemistry and girls and spends his time breaking beak- ers and hearts alternately. “Beauty chased he everywhere. In storm, in flame, in clouds of air.” Way land Dixon: Sane, deliberate speech is a gift. Way land then with voice and brains as big as the man and his heart is gifted. He is exact, precise, conscientious, and believes in letting other people at- tend to their affairs. Nicety claims him as her very own. Zelda Farris: A most loquacious party who takes many courses with much gusto and kindly instructs the lagging members of the class. Page 16 -t!—t-f ® ¥ . The Santa it, Trail . L O Barbee McBride Hudzietz Harris Robinson Woodie Barbee: A steady worker and faithful adviser, who fills a place in Cleburne High that no one else could hold. She has the wisdom of Plato for she knows her own company to be the best. Annie McBride: She has a quiet disposition, ear- nest and brilliant, and is like unto “a violet by a mossy stone half hidden from the eye.” Is possessed of a gift beyond the reach of art that of being eloquently silent. Bryan Robinson: “He hath a better bad habit of grinning than the Cheshire cat. He shines in other lines also, such as teasing the girls. But even with this his virtues are many and the class of ’ I 7 all join hearts in saying to our president, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” Almarine Harris: “Al is one of the natives of the Cleburne Schools. So modest and unassuming is she that you must know her a long time ere you dis- cover she is a brilliant student. She is not one to flaunt “A’s in other’s faces, but she gets them just the same. Dorothy Hudzietz: Dorothy makes a good race to be, if she isn’t, the smallest member of our class---in size only. She is carrying an extra large number of courses and is working hard. She is possessed of the ability to make friends and understands the knack of retaining them. P.gc 17 Mary McQuillen: She is jolly, works hard, and has made a good record on ihe white card, as well as on the hearts ol her classmates. Good nature is her strong point; smiling her chief occupation. Winnie Jackson: There is really much energy stored up in her small person. She is a shark, in- dependent and conscientious, and has a delightful little giggle that almost gives her away. Earl Dowdy: Might be a fit subject for a job with the Keystone Film Company, because he taught Chas. Chaplin all the tricks he knows. Earl has one bad habit - he will teach our boys profane lan- guage. Emma Blasingame: We could almost say of her. a linked sweetness long drawn out. She is plumb positive in her opinions, and doesn’t care who knows it. Myrl Southern: Myrl hails from Alvarado but she says she is going to live in Cleburne. She is quiet and reserved and has a disposition of sticking with a thing ’til the last; and if she waits long enough before getting her M. R. S. degree, she will make for herself a name in this world. Page 18 Irene Clark: Irene is studious without being a bore. She has such a keen feeling of pity for the other members of her classes that she frequently misses an unimportant question for their benefit. She is the proud possessor of a strong mind and a big. sincere heart. Fannie Ferguson: If diligence, patience and stick- ability are virtues, then she is most virtuous, hannie is the most popular girl in the Senior class— measure- ment made in length. Merne Nail: In Mernc we have a steady, indus- trious and quiet sort of girl. If asked to name a fault of hers, one might answer that her only one is that she is inclined to seclude herself and work too much. Whether this is a fault or not is left with the one passing the judgment. Angie Phillips: With rings on her fingers and fur on her clothes she will be noticed wherever she goes. Full many a heart (As she went by) Flas shifted gears And gone in high. Fred Lasseter: Fred’s one love is tobacco. While in the country he learned to swear at his mules; since coming to Cleburne High he takes us all for donkeys. He studies when he must , but that must be empha- sized. Startled every one by having a serious thought after the Denton game. Pagr 19 Lois Nance: When it comes to a workcrjyou can’t pass up Lois. She is always on the job. We sometimes wish that there w-cre more like her. We are sure that more things would be accomplished for good. Ruby Lusk: Ruby is curly haired and good na- tured. She has a way of saying little and thinking much, and working all the while. She is often mis- taken for a goody-goody — perhaps because she has such an innocent smile. Susie Sumners: Susie comes to us from Cuero and she doesn’t let you forget about it. The cares of the world sit lightly on her shoulders, because she knows so well how to lift them off. A loyal friend and a good companion - of her kind may there be many more. Sue Mildred Lee: C. H. S. has not yet recov- ered from the shock it received when skeet was a Freshman, for she was a live wire. With her soft brown eyes and her love of fun, she has won a place in many a heart. Vivian Leonard: He does his work well and spends his spare moments in pawing the ivory. The funny thing about him is that several people think his name belongs to a girl. P. S. It may later on. Page 20 Young Goldsmith (Ploma) Graves Davis John Young: John G. is the chief dispenser of pep at all Senior parties. His spare moments are spent in athletic activities and in frequent excursions to the superintendent's office; but this doesn't prevent his being a model youth in every respect. Sybil Goldsmith: Dubbed Nancy Hanks be- cause of her swiftness (???). Although she’s little, she hath a mighty voice, but since she knows when to use it we think that she is a very good example of the old saying that precious jewels always come in small packages. Dee Ploma: This little visitor was probably more joyfully received by the members of our class than Vera Davis: Vera is one of the few people in this world who have such a lovable disposition and such a winning manner that they make friends wherever they go and everyone always has a kind word to say for them. Lillian Graves: Good as a perfect day, and sweet as a message from home. With her winsome ways and admirable disposition, she will certainly be bound by the most bitter of her enemies. Here’s to her happiness.

The ,M I A FE Trail nr � A Brief History of the Cleburne Public Schools I1E FIRST SCHOOL BFILD1XC erected in Cleburne was the old Baptist Coliege built in 1808 at a cost of $12,000, which stood upon the site where the old Fulton Building burned. It was a large two-istory brick building, a hull, whose walls were never plastered, and wnose floors were never divided by partitions. The Rev. Jerry Clark, one of the most eloquent preachers who ever lived in this section, was the first president of this school. About 1878 this old building was condemned is unsafe and its doors were boarded up. In the spring of 1883 Cleburne decided to organize city schools. For this purpose a city school board, consisting of W. F. Ramsey, C. W. Mertz, E. ’1. Lewis. R. A. Boole, V. Cray, and W. C. Smith, was appointed by the city coun- cil. The hoard qualified in December, 1883. and elected V. F. Ramsey secre- tary. The mayor, being an ex-officio chairman, constituted the seventh mem- ber. In January, 1884, Frank M. Johnson was elected superintendent and was instructed to report for duty March L . A beautiful two-storv school building of red brick, trimmed with white stone, was erected on the site of the old Baptist College, in which the first session of the public school opened the first .Monday in April, 1884, lasting for a term of two months. The faculty consisted of the superintendent and seven teachers. .Mr. Johnson was a very scholarly, but impractical man. The story is told, that, on one occasion, when the negro woman brought his laundry home and he had no change to pay her, he wrote a personal note to the president of the bank asking him to pay the negro sixtv-five cents. In July, 188 ). 1). A. Paulus was elected superintendent and Prof. W. J. J. Terrell principal. In April, 1886, the school building burned, and the school was closed for the session, but opened in September with V. J. J. Terrell as superintendent, in the old Varsity Theater near the Santa Fe station, which quarters were occupied until January, 1887. when the new “Central High School,” since called the Fulton Building, was ready for occupancy. Mr. Terrell is a most capable man and was a very efficient superintend- ent. lie did more for the early development of our schools than did any other superintendent. In June, 1887, Mr. Terrell was re-elected, but refused to ac- cept and Mr. J. X. Long, who had been a member of the faculty since the or- ganization of the schools, was elected superintendent in his place. Mr. Long held the superintendency until his death in May, 1890. 36 BP 'V Mr. S'. M. X. Marrs was elected superintendent in June, 1890. During the previous spring three ward buildings had been planned and they were in course of construction when school opened in September; lienee dwellings in the north, east and west parts of town were rented for the primary grades. In January, 1891. these grades were comfortably located in the new buildings. It was in the fall of ’91. during Mr. Marrs’ administration, that the Cleburne High School gained affiliation with the State University. In June, 189.1, Mr. Hudson was chosen to succeed Mr. Marrs as superin- tendent. Mr. Hudson seemed never able to connect names and faces, and at the end of a year could not name pupils whom lie had taught all the year. For three years he looked on and made reports while the schools ran awry. As a result, it was a badly demoralized set of schools which Mr. Fulton, as superintendent,'with Mr. Hall as High School principal, took charge of in September, ’96. Among the High School pupils, a spirit of suspicion and distrust was wide- spread. They seemed to regard their teachers as their enemies, ready to vic- timize them on slight provocation. Disorder was the order of the day, but af- ter numerous hard fought battles,in which Mr. Hall always came out victor, the pupils began to be convinced that he was their friend, ready to guide and help, always dealing fairly with them, but that he was master of the situation. llcspe.it was born and order followed. Mr. Fulton and Mr. Hall worked zeal- ously together for the upbuilding of our schools, reaping marked success as their -eward until death claimed Mr. Fulton in April, 1907. when Mr. Hall suc- ceeded, to the superintendency, and Mr. Emmett Brown became High School principal. Mr. Hall held his position until July. 1913, when he actually ran away and got married, letting his mantle fall upon the shoulders of the most able and efficient educator, Mr. .Emmett Brown. Mr. J. G. Dunlap became High School principal and ,W. S. Ownsby assistant principal. Under the watchful care of these able men the Cleburne schools have attained a position of first ran'ki among the schools of the state. P.g - 37 Emmett Brown, Superintendent of Cleburne Schools. ON November 13, 1916, the large wooden school building centrally located and commonly called the 1 niton Building, was destroyed by fire. This was the oldest building used for school purposes in the City of Cleburne, hav- ing been built in 1886. The destruction of this building added so materially to the burdens of the other already crowded ward schools that it soon became apparent that speedy and adequate relief, not only for the immediate needs but for the near future, had to be provided. Without loss of time the citizenship of the city Started in motion the ma- chinery necessary to bring about charter changes to make it possible to vote more bonds for school purposes. These changes were perfected and a bond election called to determine whether or not bonds to the extent of !)!250.000 should be authorized in order that a large, centrally located building and a South Ward structure might be erected. With a unanimity never before equalled in the State of Texas in a bond election these bonds were authorized and at the present time plans are under way for the two buildings mentioned. Pagr 1 .

That was back in 1890, and the only grad- uate did not. receive her diploma until late in the summer of that year. Resides the graduation exercises then were by no means like the commencement we have now. There was only one school in the town. The recent Fulton Building more than accommodated all the pupils who eared to attend. The high school faculty consisted of only three teachers. Only the fundamentals of a schooling were taught, enough for the practical side of life. As it was not necessary, few strove for a higher edu- cation. Men had but to read and write and figure enough so they could make their sales—see that they were not cheated ♦herein — make purchases — and that was all. Rut that was a long time ago. Class after class has passed out. The students of yesterday are citizens of today. As each class has taken ils turn with the years there has been a steady increase in the number of graduates. The schools have increased much in size and number and in like proportion the whole school system. We may justly be proud of one of the highest percentages in number of pupils within the school age now attending school and the highest ranking high school in the state. Subsequently, the alumni have grown. Beginning with only one graduate in 1890, sixty-six re- ceived their diplomas last spring. Taken together, there are five hundred and eighteen graduates of the Cleburne schools. Generally speaking, one half of this number reside in Cleburne, while about ten per cent of our alumni are now attending various schools and colleges of this state. This in itself is proof of the capable and efficient work performed bv the school and its spon- sors. Xo other school in the state can boast of as many college representa- tives in comparison to the number of s Indents completing the high school course. rv' College men and women, although having their allegiance divided, have the warmest of interest in the welfare of the school. The business man, a graduate probably of a few years ago, supports loyally every legitimate and commendable endeavor. At Commencement the classes of two and three years before come together in the High School auditorium to witness the occasion they remembered so well in their own lives. The alumni, practically with- out exception, are in the heartiest accord with all phases of student enter- prise and activities. This spirit of loyalty and support is only a reflection of the sincere wishes of the alumni strengthening the band, in whatever form to the school of their cherished youth. Page 43 .Tin ' ,fL . Tub r—i 3 L Santa fe Tkaxl , P p The alumni may he compared to a good Indian, who marks well the route he travels so that if fortune favors him on his journey he may follow the same trail again, and he of benefit to his tribe. He blazes certain land-marks on trees that will serve as land-marks to his memory, symbols which he alone can read because it is a record of his personal progress. The alumni fund is one of the land-marks the alumni f Cleburne High School have left. It was put there for the purpose of aiding young men and young women to at- tend schools of higher learning who under other circumstances might not have been able to complete their studies. While yet in its infancy it has al- ready been the means of thirteen of our graduates continuing their education. It had its beginning in 1911 at a meeting of the Cleburne High School Alumni Association. They elected trustees and decided that there should be annual metings, at which one trustee, an alumnus of the Cleburne High School should be elected to serve for three years. By this measure, two trus- tees are always holdovers. But it was not until October of the same year that the first deposit was made. Mr. R. G. Hall, then superintendent of schools and who had rendered very efficient service in planning and organiz- ing this movement, donated fifty dollars, the largest which has been made by private interests. Mr. Emmett Brown has also taken the matter up with great interest and enthusiasm and has helped materially in getting the fund up to its present status. The fund is at present held in trust by Mrs. II. C. Oldfather, 11. S. Wilson, Jr., and W. M. Odell. There has been collected in cash, up to this time, $307.48, and uncollected pledges to the amount of $915.00 payable mostly in annual installments mak- ing a total of $1,222.48. The money is kept by Mr. II. S. Wilson, Jr. who is the treasurer of the trustees. Thirteen loans have already been made; five of which were made within the last year, and were made possible on account of the demands only by a loan of two hundred dollars made to the fund by the trustees of the Cleburne Chautauqua Association. When the fund was first planned it was intended that each alumnus, then numbering several hundred should contribute one dollar for this benefit and a like sum per capita to be collected from each graduating class. The class of 1912 carried out those plans, but no more. The class of 1913 did likewise. The class of 1914 attempted a «good deal and added considerably to the fund. Jj P� 8 - 44 The total contribution was about $160.00, but inasmuch as out of this sum was purchased the large statue in the cross halls, the amount left for the loan was little less than one dollar per capita. The class of 1915 was persuaded to deviate from the custom in regard to class memorials and to center all their eforts in adding materially to the loan fund. This class left behind $155.00 in cash and $501.50 in pledges, or a total of $656.50. The class that graduated last year made the largest cash donation, $251.94, and donated the small amount cleared by last year's annual to the same purpose. This year’s class, thus far, has raised a nice sum, and the class play is yet to be given. Other donations have been made by personal friends of the move- ment and notably the Bible Study Club and Rotary Club of Cleburne. It has indeed, gotten the co-operation of the whole city. In order to secure money from the fund an alumus simply makes a writ- ten application to the trustees, stating the college to which he desires to go and after all of the applications are in, the trustees have a meeting and take into consideration the possibilities of the applicants, their inability to go without help, or anything else that might be in favor of or against the individ- ual. In the beginning they loaned all funds necessary for the entire |college year, subsequently, on account of the fact that there were always more appli- cations than there was money, they limited the amount to one hundred dollars a year upon the theory that “where there is a will there is a way,” and that if the boy or girl in question was made of the stuff out of which men and women of determination are made that they would find the way after they were helped to that extent. The only restriction is that the individual in- tends to enter an institution of unquestioned standing. All loans are made at five per cent interest and without security. As a high school enterprise our alumni fund holds a unique position. It is the only one, so far as known in existence in the United States. There are a few high schools in the state where some wealthy man has created scholar- ship or scholarships, as the case might be, as i memorial to a son or daughter who has died, but there is no high school in which the student body itself has taken the initiative and is providing for further advancement of its mem- bership. Pagr 45 There is in every activity a leader, a preeminent head. Coach C. A. Cushman is this leader in Cleburne High School athletics, and to him is this section dedicated. Pagr 46 C. H. S. Athletic Association ATHLETIC COUNCIL Mr. Dunlap, Chairman Mr. Cushman Miss Graham Susie Sumners Bryan Miller John Young I L' ARLY in the fall a meeting of the student body was held in the Study Hall at which the • —‘ Athletic Association of C. H. S. was organized and the student members of the Athletic Council were elected. Mr. Dunlap presided and after defining the ASSOCIATION and its aims, Susie Sumners, Bryan Miller and John Young were elected to represent the student body. The faculty members constitute Mr. Dunlap, Mr. Ownsby, Mr. Cushman and Miss Graham. The powers of the council include awarding of C's11, arrangement of schedules, ap- propriation of funds, and keeping the Association informed as to its condition.

Coach Cushman called for spring practice in this line of athletics last spring and the largest number of youngsters in the history of football in our school responded. A large number of those coming out were first and second year boys—they were mostly young, light and inexperienced, which gives proof of the fact that we will have some splendid material in future years. A record of our light team appearing in this book, is one of which we are justly proud. Page 48 Letter Men in Football mm Paul Foster, Captain (Guard): Foster was one of the most dependable line men o last year and he by no means lowered this record in the 1916 season. He played at tackle tlie first of the sea- son but was later moved to his old place at guard where he played a steady game all the remainder of the season. He was a hard tackier, a good interfer- ence runner, and filled his position on the line as it should be filled. This is Foster’s last year and he will be great- ly missed in 1917. Bennie Donaldson (Tackle): Bennie was a squad man of 1915 but did not make his let- ter. This year after coming in two weeks late, he played a marvelous game. He was prob- ably at his best in the Thanks- giving game with M i n e r a 1 Wells. Here, with the aid of his team mates, Donaldson opened wide holes for the C. II. S. backs and very often broke up Mineral Wells best plays in their formation, throw- ing their backs for losses. He was a good interference run- ner and for this reason was sent around on end runs, lie has another year in which to star for C. H. S. P«ge 49 •John Young (End): Young has for the last three years been a prominent factor for C. H. S. in track. About Septem- ber, J916, John CJ. decided that he wanted to play football, so he came out and made the team easily. Young is fast on foot, heady, gritty and a consistent man at end. Ilis tackles were sure and hard. Probably no man on the club went down on Ibe kick-off as rapidly as did Young—-and he usually got the tackle.’ ’ A valuable man will be lost when he graduates in May. A. J. Etter (Center): “ A cen- ter must know all the backs know and also all the line knows. He must be a back field man and an end, as well as know the whole game if he is to fill the place as it ought to be filled, says one of the Texas college coaches. This is also a statement of the work done by Etter. He was a sure passer and could not be stopped when it came to “Dickson thru center” and they afterwards made a touchdown. This was done twice in succession in the Weatherford game. Etter is a hard tackier and can always be depended upon to fill the mid- dle place to a standstill. He is steady and never gets plays confused. He has two more years and is one of the bright- est prospects for next year. % Chappel Warren (Tackle): In tiie first few games Warren played at guard and then ex- changed places with Foster at tackle, lie played with Donald- son and Brown some in 1915, who were all back to make the team this year. Chappel was a very dependable lineman and was best on the offense, how- c er, he played a good game on 1 lie- defense. He was probably at his best in the Waxa game here, where he held his two men on the defense to many “no gain downs.” lie was a good interference runner and a good diver in downing would-be taeklers. Warren also has i nother come back next year on the team and judging from bis record tiiis year he is sure to be one of next year’s stars. Ed Hazlett (Tackle): Hazlett came to us from Rio Vista and made a good reputation for that place. Hazlett was at his best during the first part of the sea- son. lie seemed to have no re- gards for his opponents and showed no mercy after tearing through their line lie downed the backs in their tracks. He was a good man on the offense and played his best at this in the first Waxa game. The first tackle made in this game was by Hazlett and Waxa took bis victim out. lie kept this up for a time but was handicapped in the latter games by a bad ankle. He is ineligible next year on account of age. P«g - 51 Travis Yater (End): “Apie” lias been a baseball star for the High School for several years. This year he decided to play iootball, and as a result made an end. With his team-mate Foster at tackle. Yater played perhaps his best game in that with Waxahaehie. lie is fast and sure on his feet, a hard lackler and ean be depended upon to “bust up” end swings. In the latter part of the season his diving and plunging were spectacular. He played the flank position in the same style that Miller plays half and Dick- son quarter. During two games he played half, but his best work was at end. Yater is a Junior this year and will come back strong next year. Bennie Brown (Guard): Brown nlayed a little in 1915 but was not at his best. This year he came back with all his weight and made the team from the lirst. He was a dependable man on the line and was always good in breaking up his oppon- ents plays. He was at his best in the Mineral Wells game where he literally tore the line to pieces and opened large holes through which the Cleburne backs went for substantial gains c-very time. P� gc 52 Seymour Dickson (Quarter- hack) : In every game with the exception of one, “sig” was the pivot wheel of the C. 11. S. team and this game he was a main spoke at half. Dickson is the best quarterback that C. H. S. has seen in many years. He handles the team well and is very strong in lieadwork and is one of the surest tacklers in the state. Me is generally alluded to by his opponents as “that iittle red ’un.” You hear from the side line “there it goes across.” and Dickson is seen to dodge half of the team and slip through the arms of the other half and cross the line. Last year he played end and end on the defense this year. He has two more years on the team and Glory Be [ S. N. Lee (Full Back): When Coach Cushman was looking over his squad of recruits .out lor spring practice last May. he was looking for a man to fill Lockman’s place at full hack. Again this fall he was still look- ing. But he did not look long. When he saw Lee in action he knew he had found his man. Lee was a steady player, “the steadiest man on my team. lie hit the line hard and did not stop when downed once but kept going. II is interference showed up well during the lat- ter part of the season. Be was at his best in the second Waxa and Mineral Wells game. Bryan Miller (Half Back): This is Miller's third year with 0. IT. S. team and this year far surpassed the other two. Mil- ler was a steady ground gainer. He could be depended upon to make substantial gains against any team, lie has a copyright- ed brand of side-stepping which is still a maze to tacklers and which he can use at any time. Miller is a good man to have at the receiving end of a pass and is perhaps the surest and hard- est tackier seen in high school football circles in many years. Miller has one more year to play on the C. II. S. squad and was unanimously chosen as the next year’s captain. Fred Lasseter (Half Back): This was the first year of Las- seter's playing. He was some- what of a “find. ’ lie played in every game of the season with the exception of two. and played a good game at half. He did most of the passing this year and they were usually true. With Lasseter on the sending end and Yater and Young on the receiving end they were usually well eared for. Lasseter was a hard line plunger and was good at end runs. As lie is a senior this year it will be hard to fill his place next year. i Page 54 HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS USP2 FOOTBALL 11 years football lias been the chief hi rli school sport. It has been growing in popularity both with the student body, faculty and the outside in general The past year kept up this interest and in- creased it to a certain per cent. There were perhaps many causes for this interest being maintained but two causes can lie given credit for aid- ing this and these are: that Mr. Dunlap was manager and put all his power and “pep” into making the financial end a success; and Coach Cushman put into the field the best light team in the state. This might seem far-fetched but when you consider it you will agree. 1. The reason started with a game with Grandview here. Friday, Sept. 29, was the uncoverer of what the C. II. S. squad was capable of doing. The one-sided score off'45-0 was easily made and the C. SI. S. goal never threatened seriously. The line-up was like unto this: Miller and Lasseter, halfs; Lee, full, Dickson, quarter; Yater and Young, ends; Foster and Ilazlett, tackles; MyerS(and Warren, guards, and Andress, center. It was only a practice game but brought out the material on the squad, as nearly every member in a suit got to play. 2. The next Saturday, Oct. 6, the team played Waxahachie there. This was perhaps the closest and hardest fought game played. The team had play- ed one game and were not over-confident, however, they never lacked the fight. The score was 0-0, “on their grounds. ’ The game started with the line-up of the Grandview game with the exception of Etter at center, who took Andress’ place. C II. S. was outweighed about 15 pounds to the man, but they made up for the handicap in “fight and pep.” C. II. S. kieksed and Ilazlett tackled Waxa in their tracks. Waxa took time out in the first half minute of play and kept it up the greater part of the game. There were no stars for Cleburne, because of the fact that everybody played with all that was in them. Only one substitution was made and that was to replace Myers with Donaldson The pass was fairly successful, Cleburne working three out of five attempts. One Waxa man put out for roughing. Thus the light Cle- burne team, averaging 145, out-played, out-fought, and out-generaled their opponents who averaged 1(52, although they didn't score. P� g - 55 ',i. The following Saturday after putting in a good week’s practice we played the Gainesville aggregation, who journeyed down to get a walloping, and it was only administered. They outweighed Cleburne, but as it had not interfered in the other game, it didn’t in 1 his with Gainesville, with the smooth working Cushman copyrighted brand of scoring. They were beaten 12-0. Miller made both touchdowns with the aid of every member of the team. At the end of the first half, score 0-0; but after Cushman had talked and bless- ed the C. 11. S', bunch, they came back strong and on a fake and pass Yater to .Miller they made two touchdowns. 4. And then came our Waterloo, with a double strength dose. At Den- ton on the next Friday, Oct. 20, we were beaten, 33-0 (my but how it hurt). All men were there and on time but they scored; and it was the first time C. II. S. had been scored on. Denton seemingly got the jump and for some reason kept it. However, they slowed down in the last half—perhaps out of pity—and made only one touchdown. ( They made good ground gains, and Cobb, their quarter kept the ball in Cleburne’s territory a good part of the time. Cle- burne is hunting no alibi, but facts are facts, and one fact is that Razor of Den- ton refereed. This was the first defeat of the season. 5. On the 28th Dallas High came down to test out their would-be victor- ious team, but they were disappointed about 59 points, and didn’t even score. They seemed new at the game and before the interference and line plunging of Cleburne they were “kiinda” outplayed. Every dish on the C. 11. S. menu was served in about an average of 10 yards each. Dallas seemed to be unable to gain, making first down only once. This was a spirit restorer after the pre- vious Friday. ( . The next Saturday the team went to McGregor and got the small end of a 23-7 game. This is hardly a fair comparison on account of a number of players being out. The line-up was shaken considerably: Miller and Dickson, halves; Grafa, full; Coney, quarter; Young and Cleveland, ends; Hazlett and Lee, tackles Brown and Etter, guards, and Andress, center. Luck seemed against us and .McGregor had the “pep” to,beat us. However, it didn’t dis- hearten C. 11. S. for they knew what could have happened had all been in the game. 7. And then our old “friends, the enemy,” Weatherford, came down and were sent back after being beaten 41-0. These sockless wonders failed to live up to their reputation against such actual wonders as Miller, Lasseter, Lee, Dickson and Etter. In this game Dickson made two touchdowns in succession through center with Etter opening the holes. Everybody seemed to make it easy going through and tacking their backs for losses of several yards. They, the Parker County boys, perhaps will not he so reckless as to try their strength against C. II. S. again. P.ge 56 8. The next game of the season was played at home against the Waxa team. This game perhaps, more than any other, brought out that which had been taught the team. The line-up was regular, with no substitutes during the game. We will give this game in detail for it was not of standard length. Waxa chose to receive and could make no gain in three downs; in fact, it was “4th down, 25 yards to gain” and they kicked. Cleburne recovered and then began the “triumphant march thrugh Waxa.” In the first five minutes C. H. S. had the ball and the score 7-0 in their favor; Miller had made a touchdown. There was nothing that could stop them; every play gained. The light C. II. S. line literally tore the heavy Waxa line to pieces, llight then was when the goods were delivered. This is the first time it was needed on the home grounds, and it was by no means lacking. At the end of the first half the score was still 7-0. The third quarter Waxa. came back strong and by two successful passes worked the ball to Cleburne’s one-yard line. And then right there the C. II. S. line HELD. In four downs Waxa didn’t gain one yard. After much squab- bling the ball went over on Cleburne’s one-foot line. Miller kicked and Yater recovered. After more squabbling the Waxa captain called his men off the field and thus forfeited the game with the score 7-0 against them. Official score, C. II. S. 1; Waxa, 0. 9. Weatherford cancelled the game to be played there on the 24th of November, and on Thanksgiving Cleburne won two games. They beat Denton 1-0 by forfeiture and Mineral Wells, 32-7 by team work. Mineral Wells was the only team played that compared with us in weight. They played a good brand of football. The first touchdown was made by Miller in about five min- utes of play; Yater kicked goal. After two more touchdowns by Cleburne, Mineral Wells opened up her brand of forward passing, which they sometimes worked, but were not consistent ground gainers. They kept this up through- out the remainder of the game, but were unable to score on it. Coney replaced Dickson at quarter. After a pass, Lasseter to Miller to the 5-yard line, Coney carried the ball across. The final score 32-7, was entirely satisfactory. This was the last game of the year and a fitting close to a successful season. The season was very successful as a whole. It developed much new mater- ial for next yea? and made a record not made by every high school. The total score was C. II. S., 197; combined opponents, f 3—not so bad, is it?

II. S', in 1910 and had never seen a basket- ball game until he saw MeQuillen and the other disciples of Cushman play their first game in 1916. To say that he was enthusiastic would he putting it mildly, in fact, he started to playing himself and didn’t even know how; but it took him only a short time to learn, and as a result he played center on last year’s team. This year lie came back as captain and played forward. lie, with his team-mate Dowdy, soon began tossing baskets in good style. They seem to have a mania for shooting the basket that kept up all season. “Robbie” is quick on his feet and also in his body. He uses head-work and doesn’t seem to be frightened when he shows a brilliant streak. “Robbie” is a wonderful “come-back” man and saved the game usually by his tosses in the last half. Earl Dowdy (Forward): “Harfk” has had about three years’ experience in basketball and has profited by this, lie plays a good game and can be depended upon to drop them in the basket at the right time. Last year “Hank” played guard, but this year he was shifted to forward. He has a way of giving his opponent all the ground he cares for him to take and then, when this has happened, he just stands in his characteristic pose—and he has one—and shoots the basket. “Hank” is usually good natured about it and seems to enjoy the game as much as do the sidelines. He is also a “quitter” this year for he finishes. Page 59 Ed Hazlett, (Guard): llazlett, after playing football started in at basketball a n d played guard. This “country boy” has the speed and en- durance to keep his forward on the jump the whole game as demonstrated in the Godley game. With Dickson and liazlett on guards the oppon- ents' forwards are pretty well taken care of. Hazlett sticks with bis man and then continues to stick, and is fairly good at covering the court, lie will be ineligible next year. Tom Dennis, (Center): The old “fast’un” came out this year for center and made it. He can be fast when he has convinced himself that he really wants to and thus live up to his name, but he gets fast so very seldom that it seems he is a pool convince!- of self. During the Clebarro game Tom was placed against a man that had the reach on him but be often did the unexpected and got the jump on bis opponent. During the Port Worth game Dennis got the jump on bis man and as a result C. II. S. scored the first 4 points. Dennis throughout the season showed up more like an old .head at center than he did like a first year man. Dennis’ speed will in- crease with his knowledge of the game and with another year’s ex- perience he will make a center hard to beat. ITe will be a man for Captain Dickson to build around next year. Seymour Dickson, (Guard): “Little Red” decided about Thanksgiving that he wanted to play basketball, and what be decides he does: so he played. After having star- red in football two years he wanted a new field of activity and chose basketball and kept up his record as a fast and heady player. Nobody hardly knew “ Red” was out for basketball until he had played in.the Cle- barro game, but it didn’t take him long to let them know that he was more than “out” for basketball and that be was playing. Red is little, that is true, but he can keep many big men from scoring. He is light, but not in head work in a pinch; for there he can be depended upon to do the right thing in the right way. He has another year in which to star toi C H. S. Glory Be! He was unanimously elected captain for next year. Page 60 u . The Santa fp. Trail . Illf paUJs7 V -v r O ■s J How the Basketball Games Went First Rio Vista Game. On December 21st the Rio Vista basketball team played the High School quintet at the “Y” court. This was the first game of the season and was an eye-opener as to the material available for the team. The game was fast and the court covered fairly well for a beginning. However, they were true to what is called “early season form,” and didn't play their opponents off their feet. The line-up for this, the first game, started with Dennis on center, Robin- son and Coney forwards, Hazlett and Dickson guards. These men started the game but there were many substitutions during the game. The score was 36-18 with C. 11. S. on the big end. Thus the “rep” of the school was upheld byi winning the first game. Clebarro Game. The team from Clebarro College came over on the afternoon of Jan. 5th and played the High School on the High School court. The line-up was similar to the Rio Vista game with the exception of Dowdy, who replaced Coney at forward. Dowdy, a star of last season, was back to continue the good work and help keep the ball rolling. The Clebarro team had it over the High School in both reach and height but when it came to doing, things and doing them fast and with precision, the High School was alone in the field. The first half ended 9-7 for Clebarro, but that is only half of it and by far the worst half. C. H. S. came back strong, and, with the aid of the sidelines, soon took the lead. Robinson shooting three goals in lightning-like rapidity. Then there was joy in camp. Dowdy then found the basket, dropping one in just as easy, and the joy was bountiful. The final score of 17-9 was entirely welcome to the High School. First Microbe Game. Saturday night, December 29, the High School boys found their old-time opponents, the Y. M. C. A. Microbes at the “Y.” The game started for the High School with the same line-up as the Clebarro game. The first half was fast and furious, the Microbes, however, nosed out in the lead during this ses- sion. But in the second half “Robbie” was enabled by some splendid work by his team-mates to shoot six goals in rapid succession. After thus gaining the lead, Dowdy and Dennis maintained it by shooting goals whenever needed. Dickson and Hazlett held the Microbe forwards down, so that we came out with the long end of a 31 to 25 score. Second Rio Vista Game. Friday, February 3, the basket tossers of C. H. S. journeyed to Rio Vista and while there, between ears, won a basketball game to the ditty of 28 to 14. The line-up was the same as that of the Clebarro game. Robinson and Dowdy kept up their stride and threw baskets easily. Hazlett and Dickson held their opponents under control and Dickson directed the ball over the court in first class shape. The final score was gladly received. The quintet had won their fourth straight game which showed their true ( . II. S. form. . The Santa fe Trail . i’J Godley Game. The night after they had defeated Iiio Vista in the afternoon, the bunch of basket hunters from the High School also found the vulnerable spot on the Godley aggregation. The slaying took place at the “Y” court and a host of rooters was present which made it doubly enjoyable. The Godley center got the jump on Dennis during the first half, and with that and the fouling of Cleburne, Godley came out at the end of the first half with the weighty end of a 11 to 7 score. It looked dark for C. H. S., so Cushman talked during the rest and the team came back strong and took the measure of the Godley toss- ers. Dowdy threw two goals. “Robbie” about six and Dennis also found the basket, llazlett and Dickson held their men to four field goals this period and thus saved the day. or was it night? The last goal made it 31 to 20 with Cle- burne carrying off the bacon. Second Microbe Game. One night in February, about the 17th, the basket tossers of C. II. S. and the quintet styled Microbes met in the “Y” court the second time of the sea- son. The game started with the regular line-up: Robinson and Dowdy, for- wards: Demus, Center; Dickson and llazlett, guards. As usual the High School was in the rear at the end of the first half. But true to C. IT. S. tradi- tion they came back strong and the Microbes were aagin out-classed. During the first five minutes of the second half “Robbie” had thrown seven field goals. Coney, who had replaced Dowdy at forward, tipped one in just as easy, then Dennis found the basket and all was well. The final score was 27 to 18, with C. H. S. on the big end of the see-saw. First Burleson Game. On Feb. 22, the High School had a holiday and the basketball team played the Burleson tossers at Burleson i game, which was not so favorable to C. H. S. N’o alibi is offered, suffice it to say that we were defeated by the one-sided score of 40 to 10. Central High Game. On Saturday, February 24. our basketball quintet took the jitney route to Fort Worth to play the Central High team of that city on the Y. M. C. A. court. The game started with our usual line-up. with the exception of Ander- son at guard instead of llazlett. This was one of the best games of the season, and from the beginning to the end it was anybody’s game. Special mention should be made of the playing of the team as a unit. Then too. Dowdy was right, shooting goal from any angle almost. Dickson and Anderson did some of the best guarding of the season. The final score was Central High 46, Cle- burne 38. Second Burleson Game. On March 23 and 24 the county meet was 1 eld in Cleburne and it was the bad luck of C. IT. S. team that they met Burleson in the first game of the series, for they went down in defeat before the husky representatives of Burleson. The score was 28 to 7. This closed the basketball season for C. II. S. for 1916- 1917. Burleson won the county championship by defeating Lillian.

On Jan. the girls haskethall teams of Clebarro and the High School met in battle royal. The battle was hotly contested between every white line for thirty minutes and in the end. when the noise had silenced the Clebarro war- riors were found to l;e victorious hy the score of 10 to 7. Rio Vista Game. Feb. Jrd the girls journeyed to Rio Vista and won a game by the score of 18 to 5. The game was fast and furious and everybody starred. Godley Game. After coming back from Rio Vista the girls played the Godley girls at the “Y” court and lost by the score of 30 to 3. “Y” Game. Feb. 17 the High School played the “Y” girls and lost by a score of 21-11. Cotton Valley beat the C. 11. S. girls 2 to 0 in the county meet. P«g«- 63 Top row, left to right: Cushman (Coach), Vickers.

In the county meet the C. II. S. team won !)1 points out of a total of 129. Coach Cushman took 8 men to the state meet at A. M. and came back with eight points: McQuillen coming second in the half mile, and the relay team coming second. Mr. Eagelton, the manager, too!: six men to the meet at Austin in May. McQuillen came fourth in the mile and the relay team came fourth. March 23 and 24, 1917, the county meet was held in Cleburne, with all the schools of the county entered. Out of a possible 117 points Cleburne won 87. Robinson won the Dietrich medal with 1!� 1-4 points, Young and Brunton won 14 1-4 points each. The best time in the history of the county meet was made in the n.ile, half-mile, and 220. Young took the 220 in a .little more than state time, with 24 1-5 seconds. Robinson pole vaulted 9 feet, IS inches, broad .jumped 19 feet, 9 1-2 inches, and .jumped 5 feet, 3 inches high. Ila .lett ran the mile in 5 minutes, 24 seconds, and Vickers made the half in 2:24. Brunton won the 100-yard dash, and also the 120-yard hurdles. Cleburne took every first place and every second except two. The meet was won and by a larger ratio than ever before.

ETTER, Sergeant-at-Arms BUFORD COX, Critic The Debating Society started with a jump this year. The first meeting was held early in the fall after cards had been distributed inviting all the High School hoys over. As a result of the earnest efforts of all the members, the society grew until it has become hv far the largest in the history of the school, reaching a membership of eighty-nine. The two representatives this year in debate were Talmage Peyton and Pennington Jackson. These two won out in the county meet by defeating both Burleson and Grandview.

Debating Society Social m iK After extensive preparation and great expectation the Debating Society assembled in the basement of the High School on December 23 at 8:15 before the grandest array of edibles ever gathered by the society. There were forty-three members present and they had as visitors, Mr. Dunlap and Mi. Ownsby. The banquet was served by the fairest of the High School. MENU Cream of tomato soup Crackers and cheese Chicken, gravy and dressing Creamed potatoes Creamed peas Fruit salad, Celery Olives Ice cream Cake Coffee. Mr. Ownsby and Mr. Dunlap each made a very entertaining after-dinner speech, each of which it may be said, was out of the ordinary and had uo “flavor” of the study hall. Other debating societies have had debates, and other societies have had declaimers, and other societies have had members, but no other debating so- ciety in C. II. S. ever held a banquet. Thus the society of 1916-11)17 has gone one step farther and held a banquet that was a success from every standpoint. —JOHN 0. YOUNG. Page 67 Hallowe’en 1916 mm IT would have taken more than an ordinary amount of courage to have kept ■ from feeling “shaky” midst such a formidable array of ghosts, goblins, witches and spooks as assembled in the High School Building on Friday night before Hallowe’en. The guests were not allowed the commonplace privilege of entering by way of the front door, but were conducted around to the side door, through which they stumbled into the dimly lighted basement. Here where the Senior colors, gold and white, furnished the decorations, the incoming guests were invited to partake from “the cauldron” delicious punch. From hence they ascended to the first floor where the Junior colors were given honors. Here they were directed to the registry, which was presided over by “Little Red Riding Hood.” One of the delights of this floor was an old-fashioned wishing well in which remarkable faces were seen. The upper halls were indeed marked by a reign of terror. Handshakes with everything from cold hands and icy gloves to slimy bones and journeys amid horrifying skeletons, over bed springs and tin cans were participated in by all. When the “din of battle” had subsided and masks had been removed a snake dance ensued from balcony to basement. Here Hecate surprised, de- lighted and frightened everyone intermittently with her remarkable prophe- cies. After hot chocolate, doughnuts and sandwiches had been served to the guests.the enjoyable evening began to draw to a close—as all parties of all times have. But one thing- happened, which has never been known to happen before —the Juniors did NOT get our register. L rim JA.V1A JPF. jil Trail . n Thanksgiving Party Thanksgiving was joyfully celebrated when the class of ’IS had as their guests the wise and worthy class of ’37. This mciry party was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John L. Cleve- land on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving. The guests were greeted by Miss Martha Poindexter and the class presi- dent, John Williamson, and conducted upstairs to remove their wraps. Upon coming down the guests were directed to the registry which was in the shape of a large pansy, the class flower, and was beautifully tinted, being the handi- work of Miss Mildred Dixon. Miss liertyee Ward presided over the registry. The guests were then directed to the large living room and music room and here numerous games were played. Several piano selections were render- ed and added to the merriment. . Delicious refreshments were served at a late hour and special mention should lie made of the Social Committee, who so ably did their wor'k. The usual occurrence happened—when the party was over the registry was not to be found—mysterious, isn'l it ? Of course we couldn't blame a Senior because it was pretty. The hour was late when we departed but we didn't mind because next day was “Turkey Day.” Taken all in all this was about the best class party ever given in the his- tory of C. 11. S.

A large number of the class were present and most of them were masked. Upon arriving the guests were taken through the hall, decorated with the Hal- lowe’en colors, and up the stairs where they were introduced to the Sopho- more Society. In the course of this introduction they clasped icy hands of weird human beings, fell over stacks of books and walked across bed springs which creaked fearfully. Cries of pain, fright and laughter issued from the room where the ceremonies were being carried out. Finally the guests came hack to the foot of the stairs, full-fledged members of the aforesaid society. Then they were invited into another room, also decorated, in one corner of which was a typical gypsy tent presided over by a gypsy maid, Marine Verge, who predicted pleasant futures for all. Various games were played and several contests were carried on, among which was the apple biting in a tub of ice cold water. At a later hour large black paper cats were passed around, each bearing a number corresponding to the number of the person you were to eat refreshments with. Orange ice cream and vanilla wafers were served and at a late hour the guests bade each other goodnight. GLADYS JOHNSON. Page 71 u . Tim Sanya. ft: Trail . U •f The Commercial Department mm EFORE this year no attempt was made to conduct a commercial department in the High School. Bookkeeping was taught off and on for several years, when it was possible to crowd in a class, or when the demand for the subject made it necessary. At the be- ginning of this school year, however, the commercial department was launch- ed with three subjects -Stenography, Typewriting, and Bookkeeping. It is expected to make this a two year course. Stenography and Typewriting be- ing two year subjects, and Bookkeeping one. Other subjects will be added next year, and the equipment and teaching force will be increased as the de- mands justify it. With a few exceptions only seniors and post graduates were allowed to take commercial work this year, on account of limited equipment: but here- after juniors may enter the classes. Thus, a student may complete the course before graduation. Because of the fact that the training a pupil receives in the commercial department of the High School must fit him for a position in the business world, the standard of work must be high. For this reason a higher grade in class work must be required for credit than in other subjects. This department has secured affiliation with the State University, based on the work done this year. It has also secured recognition from the type- writer companies whose machines are used. The Remington Typewriter Company has made awards to nine, and the Underwood Typewriter Company to five of our students for creditable work done in the school. li' 1 . The Santa kf.

Nearly every crop listed above suffered from a severe drought in the early summer. The high price, however, made up for the low yield in most cases. The potatoes were followed by blackeyed peas which were plow- ed under. Barley was sown on the tomato and popcorn ground in the fall to serve as a winter cover crop. Prospects for 1917. Just what the year has in store for us cannot he,said at this time: but the addition of about twenty-five acres to our vacant lots, the condition of our old and new ground, the progress of the individual gardens, and the increased enrollment of the agricultural classes make us feel very hopeful. Page 74 Girls’ Agriculture GARDEN WORK IN AGRICULTURE. The accompanying photographs show the large girls and boys classes in Agriculture engaged in garden work. The classes of this year have secured the same positions for their plots as those used by the classes last year. Each girl has a plot 15 feet by 10 feet and each boy has a [dot 20 feet by 10 feet. They are privileg- ed to plant anything they choose, and each girl is required to plant at least a portion of her garden in flowers. Some have i. Page 75 made their plots artistic by planting: flowers in the letters, “C. II. S.,” or their respective cognomens (?). Bach plot is entirely surrounded by a walk, one and one-half feet on the north and south and two feet on the east and west. The plots are somewhat higher than the walks, making: a picture of beauty and symmetry. The class of this year has indeed been fortunate in securing: a number of hotbeds. These were used for the early planting of such sensitive seeds-plants as tomatoes, cabbage and peppers. Page 76 Savtra ft. Trail . Page 77 T n - Home Economics By Miss Cora Lay. “Cooking means the knowledge of Medea and of Circe and of Helen and of the Queen of Sheba. It means the knowledge of all herbs and fruits and balms and spiees, and all that is healing and sweet in the fields and groves and savory in meats. It means carefulness and inventiveness and willing- ness and readiness of appliance. It means the economy of your grandmoth- ers and the science of modern chemists: it means much testing and no wast- ing: it means English thoroughness and French art and Arabian hospitality, and, in fine, it means that you are to be perfectly and always ladies—loaf givers. ”—Buskin. With the progress of knowledge the needs of the human body has not been forgotten. During the last decade much time has been given by scient- ists to the study of foods and their dietetic value, and it is a subject which rightfully should demand much consideration from all. The time is not far distant when a knowledge of the principles of diet will be an essential part of one’s education. Then mankind will eat to live, will be able to do bet- ter mental and physical work, and disease will be less frequent. Skill in cooking is dependent not only upon much practice in the actual process of cooking, but upon the exercise of the powers of observation and reasoning. This we try to give our girls in supplementing recipes and direc- tions for cooking by suggestions which assist the pupil to appreciate the signi- ficance of each step she takes, and to observe the change that is taking place in the substance she is using. Work in the department of Household Arts gives the girl a knowledge of existing conditions and the factors that produce high priced household articles. It gives a knowledge of woman’s place, as the. chief purchaser, in a social-economic control of these conditions and factors. Interest in the subject is still further accentuated by a study of the movement on foot to secure standardization and honest labeling of textile products. Page 79 — =jll L . Tub Santa fe ps r. p- O Trail =- ' — 1 Chapel Reflections ys ai “(£ 1IAPEL”—I wonder if there is anyone in C. II. S. to whom this has not a significant meaning. To the wee little “Fish” I’m sure it means lack of breath for at least fifteen minutes after having ascended not less than two nor more than four flights of stairs. To the “Sophs” it brings up happy remembrances of how “big” they felt in watching those “below them” trudging along where they had been only the year before. Of course, Juniors and Seniors, especial- ly the latter, were never so silly as to “snigger” or even maybe laugh outright when some Freshman stumbled up or down the balcony steps—but we remem- ber chapel anyway. The first thing on the program was always to account for those who had failed to show their sunny faces that morning. And, say, does anyone remem her when Mr. Morrow could give his attendance without having either to search every pocket in his attire or make a dash to his room for it? Our “Baby Grand” has served us well this year and we have enjoyed more than one chapel as its beautiful and harmonious strains filled the spacious recesses of our auditorium. We were also glad to find that some of our High School girls and even a few of our faculty buried their bashfulne s and either played for us or aided us in the singing of our “hymns.” We have been favored with a visit from a choral club and likewise from a glee club this year. We hope that Mr. Ownsby did not seriously injure him- self in his hilarious mirth over the eagerness of some of the Senior boys to get down stairs to shake hands with the Baylor girls! We were very sorry that we were unable to show our appreciation to the Texas Glee Club boys except by the wave of our handkerchiefs, but since it was not our fault we do wish that they had told the “ruling powers” what they thought instead of laugh- ing at us. The visitor we are most likely to remember is Mr. Thomas Z. Davis—be- cause it cost us a dime. But we do not regret it because we know that no one is going to “flunk” hereafter. And although we had heard the same thing thousands of times before, since we have heard them from such a man we are sure to always retain them in the foremost cell of our brain—if we have any— and often make use of them. When, in after years, anyone may comment on your having your eyes and ears open to the good things in life (although you may know that it was be- cause of the things you heard from the rostrum at C. II. S.) calmly reply: “I know it: I left ’em open.” Page 80 L Sammy , fe |f Trail . On the Old Santa Fe Trail m Sage brush and cactus on every side.

A glance at the accompanying photo- graph will demonstrate the fact that a flattering crowd gathered to celebrate the day. Also a troop of the United States Infantry was present to lend their support to the success of the occasion. Page 83 The Library The growth in the use of the school library, has been steady for the past several years. I’nless your attention has been called to the matter you are probably unaware of the fact that the High Sehool Library of Cleburne in proportion to the number of books contained is the largest school library in point of service in the state. This library is administered by a trained librar- ian who gives all her time to this work Miss Meta Dalton, has since the fall of 1911, presided over this, the busiest corner in our school. Page 84 iy J SaJV'XYY FE 1 Trail � THE COUNTY MEET AS SEEN BY THE KODAK Page 85 Tooting Our Own Horn mm The Santa Fe Trail Staff of 1 ! 17 in addition to publishing this, our year hook, gave to the people of Cleburne and vicinity two treats of unusual final- ity. The first of these two events took place in the fall of when the Staff, through the medium of their own personal efforts, secured Messrs. Carl Venth and Reuben II. Daviess, two noted musicians of Fort Worth, for an entertainment to be given at the High School under the auspices of the Staff. The building was comfortably filled although the weather was un- favorable, and everyone present was delighted with the splendid program. The second treat we offered was a well-balanced program rendered by the University of Texas (lice C lub during the latter part of March, 11117, at the High School. This club consisted of thirty-two men from our state uni- versity and they were well received in Cleburne. They arrived in our city during the afternoon and were met at the station with automobiles and were taken for a ride into the country: returning at 3:30 in time to render a short program before the pupils of the High School. From 5 until 0:30 they were attending a reception given them at the home of Mrs. John L. Cleveland. At 8 o’clock in the evening the young men rendered their program before an audience of a thousand people. The treat was a success and everyone re- turned to their home delighted with the outcome of the occasion. In view of these things we believe that the Annual Staff should be made a perpetual body—if they did nothing more than bring such attractions to our city. Page 86 Page 87 LOYALTY mm OYALTY is that quality which prompts a person to be true to the thing he undertakes. It means definite di- rection. fixity of purpose, steadfastness. Loyalty sup- plies power, poise, purpose, ballast, and work for health and success. Nature helps the loyal man. If you are careless, slipshod, indifferent. Nature assumes that you wish to be a nobody and grants your desire. Suc- cess hinges on loyalty. He true to your art. your business, your employer, your “house. Loyalty is for the one who is loyal. It is a quality woven through the very fabric of ones be- ing, and never a thing apart. Loyalty makes the thing to which you are loyal yours. Disloyalty removes it from you. Whether any one knows of our disloyalty is really of little moment, either one way or the other. The real point is. how does it affect our- selves.' Work is for tin worker. Love is for the lover. Art is for the artist. The menial is the man who is disloyal to his work. All useful service is raised to the plane of art when love for the task—LOYALTY—is fused with the effort. leburne School Catalogue, 1916-17. Page 88 r 1 .

But we feel sure, no one who has helped and who is not specifically mentioned, will be- grudge a well-merited tribute to that man who has, from the first, been the friend and sponsor, the untiring assist ant, the wise advisor, the patient counselor, always busy but not too much so to give his time and ability to the work, a man who, although a member of the High School faculty, yet can immediately ap- preciate the view- point of the student, a man who can mix and mingle with the boys, yet maintain a dignified bearing, a man who can enter into school sports with zest and still maintain an ele- gant poise, to this man, our friend, really one of us, Mr. H. D. Woods, do we gratefully and humbly ac- knowledge the value of his assistance and extend to him our sincerest thanks. For whatever success may accrue to the Santa Fe Trail, a not inconsiderable part of the credit must be accorded to this quiet gen- tleman. this erudite scholar, this per- fectly good follow, and we do it with much pleasure. With the close of this school year the teaching profes- sion will likely lose Mr. Woods, since he expects to continue his law study and will devote his entire time from now until his graduation, lie has already done considerable work in the law department of the University ot Wisconsin and he ex- pects to take his de- gree from the U. of T. As he leaves us our very hearts go with him. That he may achieve the re- sults which his abil- ity and efforts so richly deserve is our sincere wish, lie will be greatly missed when lie is gone. Although not with us any more the work which he has done will live in the hearts of the stu- dents whom he taught and helped while in Cleburne High School.

Af- ter a short deliberation plans were completed. Accordingly one Frida y morning at the regular chapel exercises an event without a parallel in history happened. An alarm clock (species: South Bend) began clanging like unto the brazen That afternoon we received in the form of broadsides the candid opinion manacles of Regulus as he entered the I 0f the chief of the faculty on the mat- ( arthaginian senate, and in the short j u.r He derided us unmercifully for space of a few seconds there was hurl- ! . • , ,• .. ... , c ' 1 open violation of unwritten rules of ed through space and suspended proud- , • , , , .' . . 1 . . the pedagogues, some ot whom would Iv waving in the breeze the gigantic Senior pennant accompanying this a stand a $°.od eha,ice to ,uake the S! ar horde of smaller pennants and divers tan couuc war About the only other literature too numerous to men- (’°nsoIation that we received was that tion in this short volume.

But again the hand of fate intervened and the flag was torn from its fastenings and ground into the dust from which it came. But “As there is life there is hope,” and it was not long before the ill-fated Juniors de- cided to make one final effort to regain their shattered for- tunes and quite naturally this proved their Waterloo. One dreary mid-winter night it passed from lip to lip that they were going to make another trial. The night select- ed was a hideous one, com- paring strangely with the foul deed about to be committed. The Juniors leached the building first and fortified it. Then the night not being half ad- vanced, playing the part of the foolish little ones that they really were, they became sleepy, and retired to their respective abodes and lapsed gently into the encompassing arms of Mor- pheus. The Seniors, meanwhile, in ac- cordance with the austerity and grav- ity encumbent on their exalted posi- tion reconnoitcred in the vicinity and Page 90 rHE SANTA PE TRAIL JESTER May 25. 1917 after the foolish Juniors had laid their little curly heads to rest came forward ready for a fight and completely obliterated from the campus every em- blem that would suggest the odious name Juniors and thus: “They launched their boat and got in it alone, And sailed for that beautiful clime, Where the angels stood waiting to greet them, On the banks of the river Time. They had landed at last in that haven of pence, And had left their boat on the shore. Then quietly they passed through the beautiful gates, And never came back any more. The Ku-Klux clan were fond of tell- ing the negro in the post-bellum days of the return of the departed victims of the Civil War to taunt the living who did not conform to the standards of society. They must have been right for one night after the storm had pass- ed two ambitious representatives of our honorable opponents came as a ghost in the dead hour of night and placed their standards on the building. Their plan seems to have met with dis- favor in the mind of the chief of the faculty and so the members of the first classes next morning heard sounds like tin peck, peck of the woodpecker removing their emblem. All people who trudge ahead in the rank and file usually meet with severe criticism and we have had our share chiefly from a few post graduates of the feminine- gender attending school and a few not in attendance, but as a speech of exoneration we have but to repeat a few of the dramatic vords of Martin Luther at the Diet of Worms: “We could do no otherwise.” LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF JUNIOR CLASS 1917.

Last Friday morning the student body j faculty had the privilege of listening to Mr. J. G. Dunlap, principal of the Cleburne High School, • discuss the war situation. A few brief excerpts from this masterly address are quoted below: “This morning’s Dallas News brings the information of another attempt made by foolish Americans to cross the Atlantic. Germany has repeatedly told these people that the Imperial Govern- ment and its dictates must be respected. If only the wisdom of William Jennings Bryan (Chautauqua salute) could be shared by some other Americans! The demand for war that some of these short sighted Congressmen and anti-pacifist are making, shows clearly how the United States is retrograding. ‘4 T should like to ask every student in the High School to read up on those two great German statesmen, Von Beth- mann-Hollweg and Herr Zimmermann. Nothing more clearly convinces us that Germany is on the right side of this world war than the masterly arguments of her Chancellor and Foreign Minister. How the United States could be so cruelly unjust and greedy as to demand a place on the waters when every drop is needed by the Kaiser in his efforts to give England the punishment she de- serves is more than right thinking peo- ple can conceive. And even if we had a cause of war against Germany, or any- body else, who is so base as to think that death in behalf of the United States flag could compare for a moment with the glorious opportunity to coin a few more dollars? We are the sincere friends of Germany and germs, (flut- tering of handkerchiefs.) “It is common knowledge that Wood- row Wilson has for three years im- patiently waited the chance to pounce upon Germany when she was too sorely pressed to give him the attention he deserved. His annual salary of $75,000 not being enough for the extravagances of his wife, his monthly pay check is no doubt augmented bv generous remit- tances from London. But what’s the use of our trying to see justice done when injustice so clearly rules. (Shouts of Hoch der Kaiser!)

Last evening about 11:45 II. D. Woods, the honored head of the English I Department of the Clemirno High School, while loitering on the premises of one of our fellow townsmen was the ! cause of great excitement. The daugh- ter of the house and a school friend had been studying together. Perceiving the hour to be late, the friend decided to go home, .lust as she started out of the door, .a strange and vicious looking man, apparently spying around the place, was walking up and down in front of the yard. The young ladies, after watching his suspicious actions for some time, decided he must be a German spy, so they called loudly for the father of the house. That irate gentleman had already retired, but hastily donning a lew garments, he left the house by a side door and met the “spy” face to face. “'Good evening, my friend,” gruffly, j JOKES.

D. Woods, of the Higl School Faculty. I am waiting for Mis Lucile Nance who is exercising he voice next door!” The mistaken gentleman wished hiu good evening with what grace lie could but it is rumored Miss Nance came honu by herself. It seems that Mr. Wood had stepped outside to rest his nerve, from the terrible strain they had beei undergoing while Miss Nance was re hearsing her part in the Operetta i which Mr. Woods played the part of a angel. Perhaps this strain and his in ing taken for a spy were too much o a combination. Perhaps Mr. Wood, took the wings of an angel. Whateve happened will probably never be kuowi for when a reporter called on . L Woods he only blushed and faintly sail he never wished to hear of the terribl. event again. Little Willie’s Philosophy.

A lanky Florida boy, enticed by the posters in front of a recruiting station, was moved to enlist in the regular army, and in his new uniform was shipped away to a western army post to be drilled into a soldier. He had learned which end of a rifle was the business end, when a young lieutenant, just out of West Point, en tered the barracks where several rook- -es were being put through the paces • v an exhausted noncom. Our recruit ■jave no heed to the lieutenant . “Attention! ” snapped the West Pointer, halting a tew inches away .rum the Florida volunteer. Hie youth, who was sitting down, gazed at him languidly. “Attention, you!” snapped the .ieu tenant. “Mister,” drawled the novice, “you don’t need to be yellin’ at me thata- ay. Go on—I’m a-listenin ’ at you!” A SEEKER AFTER CAUSES. A gentleman from Virginia moved out to the western part of Kentucky and opened a tobacco warehouse. In few weeks the building was burned down. As the owner went over the ■11 ins in company with the adjuster .or the insurance company he noticed hat a lanky countryman, who had I riven in that morning from the back districts with a load of cord wood, was following them about curiously, listen- ing to all that was said. Late in the afternoon, when the ad- juster had departed, the countryman drew the owner aside and, speaking in a cautious undertone, said, with a flirt of his thumb toward the burnt warehouses: “Notched or sot? ’ WOODS SPEAKS IN INTEREST OF GLEE CLUB.

FIRST SPASM. During the recent presidential campaign in which Woodrow Wilson was for the second time placed in the chair by the sensible votes of a sensi- ide people, the Santa Fe Trail was sought out and even urged to announce its belief in current plat- forms. In answer to this query we humbly suggest the following1 1. We believe in maintaining a national Sense of Ilumor, and advocate, to that end, a wider distri- bution of “songs everyone knows.” We believe in surrounding all bomb-plotters and designers of increased difficulties for loyal Seniors with all the comforts of the city calaboose. 3. We believe in subscribing to The Santa Fe Trail every year. 4. We believe in the human race, generally speaking; the moving picture shows and the works of William, Shakespeare. 5. We believe in reducing the cost of white paper, in getting married within reason, in having I monthly tests, colds in the head, homes, neighbors, chickens, funerals, ball games and all other funda- mentals guaranteed by the Constitution. SECOND HEAT. There’s no denying the fact that the war is terrible. It’s really dreadful to think of. One is so helpless. Everyone is doing the best he can. But t hen, 1 knew we would. Of course one is fairly j sate in a trench; still, the idea isn’t thoroughly likable. Not that anyone thinks we will have ser- ious trouble, but then we are so self-centered and j someone has said we were actually drunk with j money. The latter sentiment is a rumor as yet uu- | confirmed. Brices are so high. For example, shoes for ladies sell for thirteen dollars per pair when they’re not worth a cent over six. But the worst has not yet come. Let us live from but one day to the next, and at all times endeavor to be a comfort to our friends. TRANSPARENT ENVELOPES. The transparent envelope has been a great fac- tor in driving romance from the life of the upper classes. Until recently the average person was in- capable of differentiating between an envelope con- taining a bill for French lingerie which his wife purchased four months ago and one containing a chatty personal letter from his broker informing him that it might be a good idea to put up an addi- tional five points margin. The mail on the first of the month looked as interesting as a three-ring cir- cus; and whether an envelope contained a bill or an avuncular bequest, an imaginative man was thrilled with anticipation when he hunted for .1 weak spot at which he could start to rip it open. The transparent envelope changed all tiiis. It is now a recognized fact that transparent envelopes seldom contain anything except bills, A heap of mail largely composed of transparent envelopes is as devoid of thrills as is a Chinese laundry check. It wrecks (he imagination and provokes profanity. The fact that dividend checks occasionally arrive in transparent envelopes does not suffice to take off the curse. Indeed, it frequently leads to the dividend cheeks being torn up unopened, together with the hills, thus causing great annoyance to everyone concerned. In t ho interests of romance, imagination and the general welfare of the human race, we suggest that transparent envelopes he re- stricted by law to the carrying of campaign liter- ature.—K. L. Roberts, in Life. ----------o--------- Mrs. Johnson—“How do yo’ feel, dis mownin’. •Joe;' Mr. Johnson I feels bad, mighty bad!

A GENEROUS THOUGHT. A Scotch comedian whose frugality s as notorious as he himself is famous had an engagement in Glasgow some years ago, and while he had a friend who could put him up for the week no hotel was going to get free advertis- ing through his residence within its walls. His host had just become the proud possessor of a son and heir, but his pride in the kid did not prevent him from giving the star all the attention the most exacting guest could expect. The Saturday night brought a taxi to the door, and while the host was carrying down the luggage the corne- lian, after bidding his hostess good oy, pulled a handful of silver out of liis pocket, and said: “Do ye ken, Mrs. Whitewood, if I had a copper I wad leave it for the bairn! A BIG SECRET. Arnold Bennett, the English novel- ist, was taken on a visit of inspection to a shipyard, where the British gov- ernment has been building a dread- nought larger and more powerful than any now afloat. The master of the yards escorted him up into the hull of the monster, which stretched for hundreds of feet in every direction, with thousands of workingmen swarming on its steel deles—inside and out. He gave Ben- nett the dimensions of the great war- ship and described her armament. Then he added: “But, Mr. Bennett, you musn t say anything about this ship. It’s all a secret, you know. “ “Little drops of knowledge. Little grains of sense, Make a mighty difference When the tests commence.’’ AGAIN Wc are at the portals of our com- mencement.

POLICY I “it S planning this annual it was thought wise to depart from the usual custom in a number of ways—to produce something dif- ferent. Doubtless you have noticed numerous changes—whether they improve or detract from the value of the hook is left with you to decide. We shall not attempt to mention and thus call to your notice the deviation from the rules or custom that we have made, except in one particular—that is the omission of cartoons. In this con- nection we wish to call attention to an unintentional omission in the Staff group—Roger Archer, the Staff cartoonist, whose val- uable services to last year’s, as well as this year’s Annual, is well known to the student body. Although we failed to use any of his cartoons, as well as those of other contributors, it was not due to their demerits but to the change in our policy. Ilis services have been invaluable to our production both in suggesting and design- ing. WE SINCERELY HOPE THAT THE CHANGES WE HAVE MADE IN THIS BOOK IMPROVE IT AND AT THE SAME TIME WILL MEET WITH YOUR APPROVAL ii Page 117 The Best Advertising Medium LL Advertising is (i(H)D—some advertising is BETTER—but the very BEST advertising on the face of this earth is that which slips into the HOME, alongside the “news,” with each issue of the DAILY PAPER. The newspaper is the BEST advertising medium, because it gets ( LOSER to the PEOPLE than any other medium. Re-ereated afresh from front to back—bristling with over-new inter- est—each morning sun sees the Morning Review start forth, carrying INFORMATION, EXLIOHTE.NMENT, ENTERTAINMENT. Business men do not any more ask, does newspaper advertising PAY? That it DOES pay is an accepted self-evident fact of this age. Whatever you have, advertise judiciously in the Cleburne Morning Review and success is sure to follow. Page I 18 1 The Saxpxa. fe Trail . TUT Moon Bros. Buggies Butner .

The Sa.via ft: Trail . i AT LAST [ THERE comes a few remarks from the editor, now that his work is done, in which he desires to show his appreciation to those who have so mater- ially aided i). the publication of this book. In an undertaking of this kind it is impossible to enlist the services of a large number, and for this reason the responsibility is thrown upon a few. Nevertheless the editor wishes to thank the entire Staff for the material assistance they have rendered. The Review Publishing Company labored with us in the best possible spirit—showing always a desire to make the Annual an ideal one. The Southwestern Engraving Company offered useful suggestions and did their work in a manner worthy of commendation. Shaw—the Annual Photographer—for this year, was always a willing worker, and to him we are indebted for the splendid photographs appearing in this issue. We wish to. thank Cecil A. Cushman for his assistance in producing this work. To him we are indebted for our border design. We are also indebted to J. Branson Coltrane for the beautiful frontis- piece which, in our opinion, adds much to the appearance of the book. As for the book itself, you are the judge. We have tried to offer an ideal, but in trying to attain an ideal we realize that we have made many blunders and fallen far short. Others probably could have done better, but all we ask is that you be considerate enough to credit us with working—to know that we have done our best. W. B. R.
