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).

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!).

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.
