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.

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.

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.
