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 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.

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.
