A MEMORY BOOK of the activities of the students of the CLEBURNE HIGH SCHOOL during the school year extending from September 1923 to May 1924 US I Come dear old comrade, you and I Will steal an hour from days gone by; The shining days when life was new And all was bright with morning dew; The lusty days of long ago When you were Bill and I was Joe. —O. W. Holmes. The right of republishing all matters contained in “Memoirs of Cleburne High School” is reserved by Duncan Robinson. Editor of the publication. We acknowledge the JW, use of two illustrations, one on this page and one on the last, from “The Rotarian.” MEMOIRS OF CLEBURNE HIGH SCHOOL DISTANCE THE ENCHANTRESS The sails we see on the ocean Are as white as white can he, But never one in the harbor As white as the sails at sea. And the clouds that crown the mountain With purple and gold delight Turn to cold gray mist and vapor Before we can reach their height. O Distance, thou dear enchantress, Still hold in thy magic veil The glory of far-off mountains, The gleam of a far-off sail. a: When the years have passed, and, in the words of a popular song, you “teel a longing 'way down in the heart for that old gang which has drifted apart,” we sincerely hope you will turn to this book; and that, somehow, it will hold a charm for you. We do not claim to have recorded everything that should have been “written down.” Our aim has been to Ji touch upon the general activities of the student body; and to include in our subject matter only the suggestive things If which may serve the mind in later years as a key to the doorway of past enthusiasms. The individual memory will carry its own particular en- jg chantment of these days, and what you will cherish most dearly in the after-while cannot be determined until then. For time is a peculiar thing. It heals the the wounds of disappointment, and smoothes the wrinkles of care. It sof- tens the malice of failure and humbles the pride of accom- plishment, and gives all men peace at last. We can only hope this service, small as it is, acceptable. We have tried to make it unselfish. 1 MEMOIRS OF CLEBURNE HIGH SCHOOL 3 Because we were made happy in her presence as Freshmen and be cause her power of creating hap- p'ness is the re- sult of her kind- ly and excellent character; We dedicate this Memory Book to Miss Annie Laur- ie Brown, keeper of the Addams House, who has long preceded us in dedication by dedicating her life to the ideals of our school. MEMOIRS OP CLEBURNE HIGH SCHOOL MR. EMMET BROWN, Superintendent. “Who is the happy warrior? Who is he That every man hi arms should wish to be —It is the generous spirit, who when brought Among the tasks of life hath wrought Upon the plan that pleased his boyish thought Whose high endeavors are an inward light, That makes the patli before him always bright.” This page is affectionately dedicated to one who, like another great schoolmaster, has devoted his life to the ac- complishment of great ideals. Our superintendent of Cleburne City Schools, Mr. Emmett Brown, is the man to whose perfect vision we owe an eter- nal debt of honor. Knowing the lives of us all, understanding our weak- nesses, praising our virtues, Mr. Brown has created for him- self a monument of worth in the minds of those who really understand. Cleburne Public Schools are the best in the United States for any town this size. MEMOIRS OP CLEBURNE HIGH SCHOOL 5 J. G. DUNLAP W. S. OWNSBY MR. J. G. DUNLAP, Principal Cleburne High School. Long years of real unselfish service have been his and it is im- possib'e to think of Cleburne High School without connecting with it very vitally the spirit of this beloved personality. It has often been his task to pass judgment on our deeds and misdeeds. I j M He was the kind of a man that saw the student’s side, as long as possible. “Men are of two k’nds—and he Was of the kind I’d like to be. Some preach their virtues—and a few Express the r lives by what they do. No broken pledge lost him respect; He met all men with head erect. The only deeds he ever hid Were acts of kindness that he did.’’ «5� MR. W. S. OWNSBY. Asst. Principal. “A light o’ joy jest seemed t’ hang around his lecture room— Like roses budding on th’ vine along in early June He’d shed his coat and tho’ his clothes was really not th’ best We loved him jest because he wore suspenders ’neath his vest. The book we had was awful dull—its print would often blur. The only tiling we really learned was need o’ character. ‘And that’s the thing,’ says he one day, ‘we all should strive to pass.’ It seems to me we studied life in 01’ Stone’s class.’’ Those of us who ever sat in “OP Stone’s class’’ as the boys speak of it, realize how very fortunate we are in having as a back- ground for future activities the memory of days spent with Mr. Ownsby.

II. S., the color green predominated, hut now that the years have passed, we have taken wisdom for a mate, leaving our youthful foolishness behind. We are graduating seniors! There is nothing ahead but the world for us to conquer and what is a little thing like the world? Did not Napoleon say “There shall be no Alps” (and while all that Napoleon said ain’t in the Bible, still an il- lustration is an illustration.) Besides if we lose materially there will always be the gratification of our culture. No one can diminish that. When we get lonesome we can translate a chapter of Virgil, work an original in Geometry, or deliver a lecture on “Work and Win” for ainus ment. How great are the possibilities before us! In all seriousness, however, we leave Cleburne II' h, which we cherish so dearly, fully conscious of the “Hills Ahead.” But with confidence, which we trust does not approach conceit, we feel that “the hills ahead look hard- er than they are.” For this is in keeping with the opti- mism of our school. With applied and diligent effort, we feel that we may attain the ih’ngs worth while, just as we acquired our High School education thru these mediums. As to the future we join the Cheerful Brother in saying “Here's Hopin’.” Our journey thru Cleburne High School was we ry at times, but now that we are leaving for tgood, there is both joy and sadness in the departure. There is joy in having completed the task, coupled with the beauty of being able to look forward. Sadness comes in the thought that there days of youth, of dreams, of spring, and of love, are receding into the shad- ows to dwell in the memories of the heart. )— MEMOIRS OF CLEBURNE HIGH SCHOOL I Claude L.

She kissed him one?, she kissed him twice And said “Now that’s addition” And as she added smack on smack, In silent satisfaction, lie sweetly gave her kis-ies back And said “Now that’s subtraction.” Then she kissed him. and he kissed her Without an explanation, Then both together smiled and said, “Now, that’s muliplication.” Rut dad appeared upon the scene And made a quick decision. He kicked the lad three blocks away And said “That’s long division.” —Graydon Sanders. DAYS OF THE USED-TO-BE As into olden mem’ries, she did creep, I heard her sigh As she sat dreaming there, a tear Slipped from her eye. As if to drown her soul in melody, She softly plays, And from the past comes the burning Loves of other days. And as the music gently dies away. Too sad for tears, She sees the vision of the might-have-been, The vanished years. Marie Lusk. MEMOIRS OF CLEBURNE HIGH SCHOOL AN ELABORATELY COMPLETE AND SCRUPULOUSLY ;r TRUTHFUL HISTORY OF THE JUNIORS (Class of 1925.) Several of the prominent members of the class of '25 decided that it was high time for the Juniors to organize. Accordingly, the first Junior meeting was held in the High School auditorium at chapel period of one early November day. This was a most important meeting, for upon this occasion our well beloved officers were chosen. After much debate the following members were voted into the follow- ing offices: Flora Mae Thompson ________________________President Fred Haley________________________ Vice-President Manyard Robinson _______________Sescretary and Treasurer Grace Lockett __________________________________ Reporter (May I here say that they have fulfilled their duties as well as could he expected from any member of so hare- brained a class). Moreover, at this same meeting the class motto, flower, and colors were chosen: “United we stand, divided we fall,” a white rose, and green and white. A very heate'd discussion of the choice of colors occurred. The girls upheld orange and white, while the boys, led by a distinguished football player, voted for c.erese and green. For the benefit of the ignorant lie stated that cerese was a “dog gray.” A draw seemed inevitable, but it was avert- ed by the adoption of the compromise colors—GREEN and WHITE (very appropriate!). The next meetings were given over to the planning of a STRICTLY JUNIOR party. It was given at the home of Luta Price Nov. 23, 1923. Although the Juniors were a small minority, everyone enjoyed themselves—since some two hundred fifty sandwiches were served. Our beloved president, at the urge of some very patri- otic members, called the next meeting for the express pur- pose of choosing a ring and pin committee. This was prompt- ly done, but despite the faithful efforts of Ruth Edgar, Earl Perrier, Luta Price, Gerald Davis and Rachel Goldsmith, the rings and pins were some four months on the road. Plans were next made for the second Junior party. This m JUNIOR CLASS. MEMOIRS OF CLEBURNE HIGH SCHOOL 19 MEMOIRS OF CLEBURNE HIGH SCHOOL f«3_■---( £== was at the home of Ellen Moffit, March 22. There were 4? lew present, but the refreshments were plentiful (the boys § brought apples and the girls brought sandwiches) and fun abounded. This ended the Junior activities, but in behalf of this renowned class I wish to say that next year we’ll all (I beg your pardon—I meant MOST!) be Seniors and those „ infants who mock us in our age of weakness will rue their Y mirth next year. Respectfully submitted on this, the twenty-third day of April of the year 1924, by Leslie Neighbors. P. S.: This history was compounded from, and based on, material received in personal interview with several highly intellectual members of this most distinguished class—L. N. US SOPHIES We, the two hundred sophies of ’24, are striving to ac- complish that which the former students of C. II. S. have accomplished. We have had our share of paper dolls, col- ored sticks, etc., in the first grades; we have gone through the other grammar grades with as much fun and study as could be derived from them; we entered Junior High School not. many years ago, and after many, many months, we walked into dear old C. II. S. as green as the usual fish. We pulled many “boneheads,” such as going to our sixth period class at chapel, entering the balcony of the auditor- ium for the library, and even going to the public library at our library period. But we have learned many things during these last two years, for we know that Shakespeare wrote PILGRIM’S PROGRESS, Bunyan wrote TIIE LAST OF THE MOHICANS, and that we see an algebra problem either plainly or through a glass darkly, and usually the |; latter. A few times we have studied hard, yea crammed, but at other times, using Mr. Dunlap’s memorable phrase, we have “gone fishing.” However, we have managed to pull through and how long we shall do so is unknown to us; but even though we slip a notch now and then, we shall go on until the glass that we now see through darkly is polished to perfection. CLOVIS WILSON, Class Historian. SOPHOMORE CLASS. I MEMOIRS OF CLEBURNE HIGH SCHOOL ifl.TO— ■■ ■ ill - «3==fr FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY. We, the members of the Freshman class, are just begin- nintr to realize, as the present year comes to a beautiful close, that the happiest days of our lives are one-fourth gone. Dur- ing the next three years we hope to make a wonderful rec- ord and we are eagerly anticipating the happy days of 1927 when we too shall put over an annual and then be call- ed upon to receive our respective diplomas. But we realize that in order to have a good graduating class we must climb the ladder step by step and for that reason we ex- pect to have the best Sophomore and Junior classes that the High School has ever been proud of. It is our sincere hope that each member of our class will graduate at the same time, thereby establishing an enviable record, as well as being a model for other classes to copy from. This is our purpose in view and if our present officers are re-elected each time we are confident that it will come to no mean end. I At the beginning of the year we were assembled in the auditorium and elected the following officers, who have ffir, conscientiously fulfilled their positions: Dene Turner, presi- dent: Huber Blair, vice-presidenf, and Imogene Head, sec- retarv-treasurer. “Ilonky”—Gee, I made a bad break at dinner last night! “Jelly Joe“—Don’t tell us the one about the cracked plate. “Horiky”—No! Mother asked me if I wouldn’t have some more corn. I said “Sure!’’ and—passed my glass. Nip—I fell last night and struck my head on the piano. Tuck-Hurt yourself? Nip—No; luckily I hit the soft pedal. A “man without a woman” is not nearly as badly off as we have been led to believe. Senior—Is Miss Sassifras fast? Junior—Is she fast? She’s so fast she can drink water out of a sifter. Our idea of a soft job is that of assisting a florist to pick the flowers off the century plants. Tourist (driving up in car)—Say, boy, where is a filling station? “Louse” Sanderlin—Fer yerself or fer yer car? :d- CO FRESHMAN CLASS. 24 M KM OH'S OF CLEBURNE HIGH SCHOOL ELEMENTARY YOKELS. MECHANICAL DRAWING—ADVANCED MANUAL TRAINING 25 MEMOIRS OF CLEBURNE HIGH SCHOOL C. C. WILLIAMS. “He is best educated who is most useful.” Training boys for citizenship is the ideal back of the Industrial Arts Department, under the supervision of Ceshel C. Williams, philosopher, teacher and friend. The heritage of America’s future is constantly visualiz- ed while completing a mechanical plate or hewing out a project from wood. -Mr. Williams shows boundless enthusiasm in his work, having the power of making his enthusiasm contagious. Without being asked the “elementary yokels” work af- ter school and on Saturday so interested they become. Some of the projects completed by them are: Piano bench, taboret, waste basket, telephone stand, cedar chest, and phonograph cabinet. The advanced students make anything in the wood working line they desire. Not only will the days spent in this department he re- membered but as we lay the old plane aside we feel that tho at the start we were “elementary” indeed, today we have come into the knowledge of much that “really matters.” Here’s to C. C. Williams—none better, few as good! Cleburne Hi-Y Club The Hi-Y Club this year lia l an uphill fight from start to finish, but came out on top just the same. It was started rather late which is probably the only reason they were not represented in the State convention. However, they were honored more than any c ub when Duncan Robinson, for two years president, was selected to represent the Hi-Y clubs of America in St. Louis at the International Railroad Y. M. C. A. convention. The officers for this year were Pete Hilton, president; Albert Arnold, secretary, and Maynard Robinson, treasurer. Mr. Carroll Conley proved himself to be a very valuable advisor to the club and was an important factor in pulling the club through the fight. jn, s Added later: After the first paragraph had gone to press the Hi-Y president, Thurman Hilton (second on the left bottom row), was ser- iously injured in a train accident, causing the amputation of a leg. The club joins the entire student body in an expression of regret and condolence. 1 «i. The High School Orchestra Under the leadership of Rex McWilliams, the High School had an orchestra in 1923-24 for the first time in its history. Starting out with five members it was a great asset to the school, especially during the football season. When Bob Baggett dropped out it left the orchestra witli just four members, but they kept their good work up and have been rendering good jazz music all year. We hope their movement will terminate in a good High School band. The members are: Rex McWilliams, clarinet; Rena Rodgers, piano; Phil McGowan, drums, and Mel Janes, saxophone. I They’re Egg-osHstical. “Are those eggs fresh?” “They haven’t said anything to n?e yet.” J Excited tourist ((beckoning to cabby)—Hey! Cabby—Look here, mister, you stop kidding my horse. mm® --------t i i MEMOIRS OF CLEBURNE HIGH SCHOOL REVIEW OF RILEY HOUSE ACTIVITIES FOR YEAR. During the school just passed Riley nouse has accomplished much, both in the way of programs and school work. There were many programs supplied by our faithful housekeeper, Mr. Ownsby and I am positive in saying that the entire house enjoyed every address with the utmost enjoyment. One of the first to speak to us at the beginning of school was Mrs. Florence Floore, and as usual, she made a very good talk, which was seen bv the applause given her. Mrs. Floore has spoken to the Riley House for the past three or four years and the Riley House hopes that she will return next year. Mr. Wauford, pastor of the First Baptist Church, gave some confidential advice to the students which was appreciated. The boys of the Riley House spoke on the following Tuesday on Cleanli- ness. The first term of the school year was about over and I feel safe in saying that the Riley House surpassed the Wilson in exemp- tions, and also in the number of passes. The new term was started to the sorrow of the students and the cry of Mr. W. S. Ownsby’s “Wait and stay for me,” sang through the Riley House once more. The Riley House has had about twenty-five or thirty on the Honor Roll every month, and the name of Hugh Dunlap headed the list with an average of ninety-six or ninety-seven. Mr. Ownsby de- cided that he would start a series of programs on Texas history, which have been a most Interesting subject to the boys. Miss Ed- man, Miss Wythe, and Miss Ionc Lowe each spoke on a different Phase of the broad subject and by their ability and knowledge of history every detail was given to us. When Mr. Erney decided to sell baseball season tickets at 50c the Riley House as usual surpassed the other houses combined and sold fifty-eight tickets. Also in other ticket selling the Riley House is known for being the moneyed house of the school. The Riley House has also during this term played the Wilson fairly tight in shinny which has not happened in a good many days. In general the Riley Rouse has had a very active and prosperous school year during the fall of 1923 and the spring of 1924. SONNY STREETMAN.

H. Norwood, who has won a place in the heart of every student and pupil under his supervision on account of his impartial and deep interest in the life of each individual member. It has been pointed out in the past—and not very far distant—that this house was ac- customed to be the lowest in the Honor Roll percentage. Its reputa- tion has been said to be that similar to ruffians, roughnecks, and other abominable characters. This year’s activities have proven two things, i. e., that the above is not true and that it has no grounds for statement now. Mr. Dunlap does not make his way hurriedly to the Wilson House to reprimand one of its members when a misdemeanor has been com- mitted. It has not only shown up well as a house in the school but also as a literary society. It has been the means of furnishing programs to the various other houses. For its efforts in promoting better English, it was presented with an acknowledgement of the fact by an English teacher. Timidity and stage fright were both expelled from this hall during the early part of the year. When a call was made for representatives for literary events in the Interscholastic League meet, ready responses were made. It has been as equally represented in the track events of the past r m== ] MEMOIRS OF CLEBURNE HIGH SCHOOL year. No special mention need be made of the outcome of the daily “shinny” game. Riley herself with her battered warriors, meeting defeat untrained and inexperienced, are non-speaking proofs of the ability found in their opponents. It has been the great honor of its occupants to be the receivers of several valuable gifts, including the bust of President Wilson, for whom the house was named. He is accompanied in lrs soli- tude during the holidays by portraits offered by various people in- terested in the welfare of its students. O Wilson House, if it were possible for you to look into the future, would it be a blessing for you to call out the fates and destinies of your sons? Some day your old heart will swell with pride when you look upon some noble states- man, patriot, and citizen and say “he belongs to me! I reared that boy! ” Again as in the instance of the great Joe Rhome of former days, this house has been brought to grief and sorrow. During the latter part of this term the Reaper has deprived us of the happy and smil- ing presence of John Royal. There is not a member but who re- members his loyalty and ever-ready willingness to co-operate in the activities. We all miss him as we in turn shall be missed—maybe some time soon.

Working to achieve the ideals of its housekeeper, Miss Annie Laurie Brown, Addams has this year succeeded in winning the banner for loyalty to the football team, and in creating a spirit of friendliness and help- fulness among our family, making it a real home. Miss Brown's illness necessitated her giving up the house the last two months of this year, but it has been very capably managed during that time by Miss Verna Jones.

We have striven to use these policies in our weekly programmes and have found remarkable displays of unusual talent on both musical and literary lines. For the past three weeks the club has enjoyed talks by its various members on the History of Texas, including the most significant events. This kind of a program proves very interesting as well as in- structive. Our worthy and most honorable housekeeper, Miss Lois Wythe, is jj£ our constant guardian and adviser and is ever keeping before us the essentials for preparedness of a useful and better life. She strongly advocates that a high standard in school is of infinite im- portance. While our minds are young and grasping is the time to take advantage of our wide variety of opportunities.

Under the direction of our capable housekeeper, Miss Hunter, we organized a literary society having as our officers the first term- Leslie Neighbors, president; Gladys Payne, vice president; Florence Mitchell, secretary; Rita Foster, staff representative, and A. J. Wal- raven, critic. These officers served very successfully and at the beginning of MEMOIRS OF CLEBURNE HIGH SCHOOL the second term the new ones elected were: Imogene Battaile, presi- dent; Mary Jane Miller, vice president; Lucille Hudzietz, secretary; Ballad Thomas, treasurer; Rita Foster, staff representative; Eleanor Dunlap, reporter, and Jewe l Campbell, critic. The program committee, which is composed of the officers, under the supervision of some teacher have furnished many pleasing pro- grams. They have been along patriotic, historic, literary, musical, dramatic and humorous lines. Willard House is gifted with many very talented young ladies, having a generous supply of material from which to choose; however, it is not our plan to always use these but others who are not so gifted and perhaps in this way help them to become so. We believe Willard House is far superior in many respects, but there is one thing in which we are very glad to excel. Our house has always had the highest percentage of pupils on the honor roll. This statement needs no further comment for you can see for yourselves what kind of girls we must necessarily have in Willard to make such a remarkable record. In conclusion we wish to express our thanks to Miss Hunter, our lovable housekeeper, who has been so considerate of Willard and her inmates. She is kind and sym; athetic, always ready to help us and we all feel that Willard has become a bigger, nobler and better place in which to live during the term 1923-24, because of Miss Hunter’s guidance and protection. The following girls have been fortunate enough to have lived in Willard House during this school year: Corine Alexander Fredericka Alexander Elizabeth Allen Aileene Armstrong Jane Margaret Barlowe Neritie Barr Imogene Battaile Murl Beckwith Georgia Belcher La Berta Belcher Ola Akers Ferby Mae Blanken- beckler Elizabeth Hart Ruth Brackett Monta Byars Oma Ellen Cahill Jewell Campbell Lorene Bennett Lura Chambless Margaret Clark Elizabeth Clayton Jean Clayton Mary Jo Cole Edith Collins Mattie Lou Cooper Jennie Louise Copeland Lois Cox Verda Mae Crank Lucille Creswell Lake Cummings Jessie Cunningham Maurine Daniels Uther Darnell Myra Lacewell Ruth Dixon Ora Duncan Eleanor Dunlap Ruth Edgar Vera Mae Ferguson Lorene Field Rita Foster Kathryn Fox Katherine Fry Susanna Garrison Gula Gebhard Ethel Glasgow Mary Gorski Tinnie Gray Loree Greenhaw Hazel Greer Margaret Hall Louise Hansen Marie Harris F arl Hartman Louise Hartzog Donna Hayes Imogene Head Meliora High Wanda Hines Georgia Hodges Imogene Hoffman Hazel Holt Lucille Hudzietz Madeline Huffstutler Jennie Mae Hutch- inson Nonabel Jackson Ethel Joplin Minnie Joplin Edwina Kennard Joel E.

MEMOIRS OF CLEBURNE HIGH SCHOOL SOCIETY JANE MARGARET BARLOW, Editor I PARTIES. The Senior Class entertained the football boys at the home of Marion Benton the Friday night before they left on the great Dayton trip. The spirit of eager anticipation on the part of those who were to make the trip was shared by all those who attended this party, making it a memorable one for all. Margaret Scott gave a solo dance, and the music was furnished by the Jolly Joys. Late in the evening delightful refreshments were served. The chaperons were Misses Marion and Laura Lu Waring. The football boys were entertained by the Junior class at the home of Luta Price, the night after the Cleburne-Itasca game. There was a large crowd present, which was entertained by games and music by the Jolly Joys orchestra. At a late hour refreshments consisting of popcorn, sandwiches and punch were served. The chaperons were Misses Iua Baird and Sue Mildred Lee. = The Junior class gave a party at the home of Miss Ellen Moffitt March 21. Nearly all the Juniors were present and spent an enjoyable eve- ning playing various games. Sandwiches, cakes, and fruit were served at a late hour. Mrs. Moffitt acted as chaperon. DRAMATICS “The Book of Job.’’ On Friday night, March 14th, Stuart Walker’s Company of New York actors presented “The Book of Job” at the high school audi- torium. This was quite a distinction for Cleburne as it appeared in Texas only in large cities and college towns. Superintendent Emmett Brown guaranteed this play and with the help of the Seniors made a success of it. About twelve hundred people were present from Cleburne and the neighboring towns. The Trojan War. Under Miss Gertrude Whitehouse’s direction, her English pupils presented a little playlet “The Trojan War,” Friday, April 11th, at chapel period. With the exception of the poetry which the narrative quoted from Fritz Lanham, Mary Jane Miller is the author. The admission was ten cuts, the proceeds going to buy pictures for the English room. MEMOIRS OF CLEBURNE HIGH SCHOOL of Elvira The Senior class presented their play “Springtime,” on April 17th and 18th in the high school auditorium. This romantic musical comedy deals with the blighted romance of a scion of 1868 aristoc- racy ami the daughter of the founder of the famous “Rrewster Pills,” which is finally realized in the union of their grandchildren in 1924. The time involved covers a period of more than fifty years. ACT I. Scene 1. An old garden near New York. It is May, 1924.

Although this year was Mr. Parker’s first year in Cleburne High School, he has already made himself beloved by the boys under his charge both for his athletic knowledge and his friendliness. MEMOIRS OF CLEBURNE HIGH SCHOOL 1 ■■■ C� Review of the Football Season (’eburne High School’s 1923 football team was by no means a disappointment although at the first of the season bv starting at breakneck speed it gave promise of going farther than it actually went. The Black and Old Gold piled up 163 points to opponents’ 0 in the first three games, defeating Decatur 78-0, Arlington 46-0, and Bridgeport 38-0. In spite of the fact that the team’s scoring was unusually high, Coach Erney noted flagrant flaws in its offense; character- izing its chances as “uncertain.” The team’s conduct later verified the mentor’s opinion. The main reason for this, however, was that eleven of the regulars were earning their first football letters. The team was practically new. The Dayton game was the main feature around which interest for the year centered. The school athletic motto was: “Tame the Lions.” Scores of fans saw the team safely “off” to the northern city. On their return they were met at the station by fully 1,000 townsmen and students who, led by the High School orchestra, cheered their defeat as lustily as if' it had been victory. Those who made the trip to Dayton can never forget the won- derful game against the odds put up by the Black and Old Gold. Playing on a muddy field in a downpour of rain against a heavier team, they achieved a moral victory according to such renowned critics as J. Monroe Sweeney, National Baseball League umpire. Cleburne was eliminated from the State football race by the Strawm Greyhounds. Although Head, Draper, Horton, and Rhome wrought literal wonders in defense and in broken field running, the Luck of the Gods was turned against them and the Grayhounds won 24-21. The game was on ice until the final whistle. After the Strawn game Cleburne defeated two much stronger than the Greyhounds because they concentrated their energies upon their main weaknesses. They learned to intercept forward passes. Itasca went down in defeat 26-0 and on Thanksgiving Day Comanche was turned back 13-0. This was the final game fo the regular season, but on Christmas Day the All-Stars, a group of College players who formerly wore the colors of Cleburne High School, challenged the locals and w'ere taken up. Such players as Tom Denfiis, Blue Smith, Pete Ferris, Snag Hill, Swann Taylor, Ben Whitehouse, Barton Hinton, Louis and Curtis Poindexter and others of more or less fame defeated the Hig-li School 7-6. 6 All in all the season was successful for when the faet that MEMOIRS OF CLEBURNE HIGH SCHOOL eleven men were earning their first letters is considered it is only reasonable to believe that not lack of effort but lack of experience speit our shortcoming. This year produced its usual yield of stars. Head, Rhome, Lee, Boling and Draper will always be remembered by those who watched with interest the destiny of Cleburne High School’s athletics. Other stars were in evidence and next year with so many return- ing to the fold the prospects are bright indeed. FOOTBALL SCORES C. H. S. 79 Decatur 0. C. H. S. 46 Arlington 0. C. H.

Jim Draper and Clark Lee have been stars all season doing mighty work in every meet in which they have par- ticipated. First call was issued early in February. First competi- tion was met in a dual meet with Itasca March 28. Score C. H. S. 67%, Itasca 27%. At the district meet held in Hillsboro April 12, Cleburne won with ease scoring 76 points to her nearest opponent, Hillsboro’s, 20. Cleburne lost the Rice meet by a fraction of a point. She was victor over all in the S. M. U. meet, scoring 33 points to Wichita Falls 23, and lost the state meet to Wich- ita Falls by 13 points, winning second place. Baldwin of Wichita Falls amassed the entire 23 points for his school, setting an absolute precedent never heard of before. Lee and Draper tied the State records in the mile and 100-yard dash respectively. Cleburne’s relay team which never pailed to place con- sisted of Elmer Ingle, Clark Lee, Ed Horton and Lavelle Daniels. Owing to late time at which this goes to press it will not he possible to state the outcome of the dual State meet in which Cleburne High has entered at Norman, Okla., but prospects are bright that she will win and gain the right to compete in the national meet in Chicago this summer.

Gas, electricity and the telephone have enriched home life, the source of character building. They have made possible greater comforts and gave to the mother of th family the freedom from routine necessary before she could give her best to those growing up tinder her care. In public utility work are brilliant and lucrative careers open to those who must choose a life work. There is need for engineers, executives, salesmen, specialists in service and public relations and for inventive genius.

The storms recede after the bitter blast To leave the earth more lovely than before; Each care that mars the happiness of day Will vanish in the evening from the door.
