H. S. Are very dear to me: We have the best of teachers As readily you see. Miss Holmes teaches English And makes her classes hum: If you want ten demerits. Just chew a little gum. Mr. Pierce is our coach And really is quite fine. He's just the one we've needed To keep our boys in line. Miss Hamilton teaches Spanish: Truly she is wise, A Though one might want to doubt it When noticing her size. Mr. Weatherby teaches Solid, He's as smart as smart can be. But let me Warn you now. Don't omit that E. D. Miss XVitherspoon teaches cooking And molds our young girls' lives. I suppose she's doing her duty In making us all housewives. Miss Agnew teaches Latin. A language very old: Some day we'll be proficient lf we do as we are told. Miss Vest teaches Englishl Her classes never bore. And no one teaches history A5 well as Miss Laura Moore. Miss Wilson teaches typing And is a shorthand shark. l'm told that in her classes No idlers ever park. Miss Allen teaches harmony: A musician hne is she. And Miss Wilson's English classes Progress quite speedily. Miss Hardage teaches science About the bees and birds. When students talk about her They use the kindest words. Miss Finger teaches Algebra And rules with an iron hand. From what the students tell us, She's the best in all the land. Miss Suttle teaches English CHer classes we adorej. XVe scan the many legends Of Ghaucer's ancient lore, Miss Roberts teaches history Cf ancient Rome and Greece, And Miss Mirtin knows the Span And gives us little peace. Miss Matthews teaches Algebral An instructor brilliant is she. Most of our dear freshmen Know all about a+b. Mr. Douglas teaches math : He's an athletic fan. When problems need a solution He always has a plan. Mr. Willard teaches science And all about the stars: But whats puzzling him now is. Who inhabits Mars? Miss Wiles teaches history. And certainly she's stricz: If once you want to stay in, Just try a little trick. Miss Gantt teaches English And makes us toe the mark: But Miss Dennis' sewing classes Are considered quite a lark. Mrs. Fend1ey's history classes Give us much food for thought. Be careful with your nappingf It's likely you'll be caught. Mr, Cross teaches drawing: Mr. Forsythe keeps the shop. Both of them are interesting, So we never watch the clock.

H. S., We acted as do all new recruits--green. Of course, We had adequate reason to do so-We had so much Green in our ranks. Most of us remained insig- nificant privates this iirst year. In our second year of service we automatically became corporals and some of the brighter ones lieutenants. And how We ordered the poor private about! We began to go out into branches, and the upper classmen recognized our exist- ence. As a Whole class we made an excellent record, and therefore received com- plimentary remarks from the training Officers. Our third year marked a great change in our rank and a rise in our prestige. We were instantly recognized for our offensive warfare. This first manifested itself in the Siege of the Carnival, which we captured by a decisive victory and set our queen and king, Elise and Rogers, on the throne. Erom this en- counter to the end of the 1924-25 campaign we were in friendly warfare with our rivals, the Seniors, Even our opponents recognized our ability and gave us good positions. The correspondent division was inaugurated under the leadership of one of our company, Paget, with two of our classmates as lieutenants, Elizabeth S. and Joe Key. In the popularity contest one of our number, June, was chosen as prettiest girl. Among the literary events, the red ribbon was Won for poetic honors by a Junior, Madeline, and the County Essay medal by Elizabeth S. Written on the camp's Hall of Eame many of our classmates' names can be found, in fact, they are too numerous to men- tion. In the Battle of Elags the Juniors claim a decisive victory. The mem- bers of the Athletic Squad, for the rnost part, wore Junior uniforms. This year, the class of superior officers, captain, majors, and generals, have a clear field, for graduation eliminated last year's enemy, The Siege of the Carnival was again Won by our class, with Myrtle Flora and Elliott as leaders. In the Favorite Race four of our division achieved mention-Best Looking Boy, Layton: Most Beautiful Girl, Eleanorg Most Popular Ciirl, Elise: Best All-Round Ciirl, Constance, and Best All-Round Boy, Roy. In the Athletic field, our troop has proved itself one of heroes. No fray has been too severe for our boys. With this class go out most of the out- standing fighters in football, basketball, and baseball divisions, not to men- tion tennis, track, and golf. Cne of the divisions which has attained a rank is the Blue and Gold. Its staff members are for the most part Seniors. This paper has done much to reflect the camp life of C. H, S, This company is also noted for its good scholastic record, By strict attention to the prob- lems before us, the majority has successfully conquered the Lessons, and quite a few have been so brave as to merit the medal UA Average. In the great camp bulletin, The Corsican, Will be found the personnel of this company under A'I,a Reveillen or Hroll call , the activities under i'La Revue or RevieW : and the rating of each under A'La Reporte or i'Report . It is to be hoped that the graduating cadets will conduct themselves in the same brave, intelligent, never-say-die spirit on the Battlefield of Life as they have done in the Training Camp, Corsicana High School!

R eporrer EEEOEE,,EE ESTHER MAE TARVER CLASS HISTORY The Junior Class of 1926 has made a very commendable record. Much of this has been due to team work. Every Junior has done his part in furthering the plans and purposes of his class: and I think we may say, although we haven't always won over the lordly Seniors, we have at least realized the true meaning of class spirit. ln the first place, on the football team the Juniors were creditably represented. Such stars as Eagin, Younger, Halbert, Brown, and Brownlee we have the honor of claiming as our own. Also, just look in the favorite section of this Corsican. See if you do not think the Juniors should be justly proud of their sweetest girl and most pop- ular boy. In realizing the true aim of the High School, that is, in regard to scholarship, the Juniors do not lag behind. We are proud of our number on the Scholarship Club, and of the two Juniors who have made all A records in their three years of high school work. Furthermore the Juniors surpassed all other classes in the literary events at the county meet. Mary Jo Young won first place in Senior girls' declamationi Alpine Harper won first place in extemporaneous speech: Sarah Stander, our representative on the spelling team, won first place: and Edith Williams and Esther Mae Tarver won first place in Girls' debate. f n I i E a l 1 1 1 Y 2 .,,, ,ty I W, P 5 1 ' fi 5: N N w f r W k 4 1 1 1 1 N ' EEZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEC ' 3 :a:::::z:::::::::gg:::: 9 9 ev If 5 w 9 iEi:::!:::::::::::5:ng y n e ...... ..... .... . .- 9 f U -..-,... 1 jf - V X , N , - , 0 L :J J Jw umm E I.: X 'II Jojagomorew ' X k fn HH , , L 'W llllll J 1 BT , x W Q A mn ffm-7..:..:,:j2 .:,, nr! ,,:Z,iT CS M-ff QQ wx 'I' f 'Q WMU 1 1 .

We know that we are the first class in Corsicana High School to be able to say that, and we are justly proud. We hold a distinction in being the only class in high school which has chosen girls as its presidents. Our goal does not seem nearly so far away as it once did, and we are be- ginning to look forward to the privileges we shall have as Juniors and Seniors. In our midst, we are proud to say, there is George Morwood, the football, basketball and track star. We have also Morey Millerman and James McCam- mon, track men: and Clarence Horne, center on the all-state basketball team- so why shouldn't we be just a little proud of ourselves?

MCCLUNG In the annals of the Dyne-Valence Club this has been one of the most successful terms. With the help of our critic, Mr, J. G. Williard, the club has prospered, both in membership and in interest. At the beginning of the fall semester, in 1925, Marion Hodge being found the most efficient member, was elected president of the club. With the beginning of the Spring term, on February 4, 1926, new election of oflicers was held. Again Marion Hodge was elected president, with the following set of competent oflicers: William Evans, vice-president: J. E. McClung, Secretary-Treasurer: lvan Tucker, re- porterg and John Brauer, sergeant-at-arms. The Dyne-Valence, or the D. V. Club, as it is popularly known to all high school students, is one of the most progressive and interesting clubs in the school. Besides giving its members an opportunity to gather together scientific knowledge, for which purpose the club was established, it also has a social atmosphere which makes possible some very entertaining meetings. 60zf1rE'M f55fCm,f.sEe0 Sami qesier V5 - .

The Dramatic Club was organized in September of the year l924 for the purpose of fostering the study and presentation of modern plays. When the director of the club, Miss Mabel Bonner, was asked, What kind of a pin will the Dramatic Club have? she replied, None You should be known by the work you do. Now, as to club colors, flower and motto, you may choose what you like. So if you were to be invited to our birth- day party, you would End the festive board gaily decorated with lavender and pink sweet peas, which reveal our color scheme and club flower. In the center of the frosted birthday cake would be two gleaming candles standing for two years of successful work. The Dramatic Club's entrance on the stage of High School activity was made December l5, 1924, in the High School auditorium, by Mrs. Katherine Oliver McCoy, an interpreter of Scotch Literature, in her portrayal of the comedy of Kitty McCoy. Mrs. McCoy is called 'AThe Dean of Interpreters of Scotch Literature, and justly deserves this distinction. She has spent much time in Scotland, so her version of Scotch life is true and realistic. The Dramatic Club deemed it a privilege to present such an artist as Mrs. McCoy. The club made their initial bow in a group of one-act plays termed UFive Fascinating Features, on the evening of May 4, 1925. The plays presented were Love of a Bonnet, Scene from The School for Scandal, Fast Friends, Thirteen, and Pierrot by the Light of the Moon. The Club reorganized in September, 1925, with a roll double in number of last year's, which is convincing evidence of its popularity and progress, Miss Jessie Millsapps was the artist presented this year. On the evening of February l, in the ball room of the Navarro Hotel, Nliss Millsapps gave an original arrangement of Barrie's Peter Pan, which is one of the most popular numbers in her repertoire, An interesting group of one-act plays was presented during the Hrst week of April, The Revolt, The Rehearsal, and a pantomime. The Club appreciates Mr, H. D. Filler's acting as their advisor. Wmes Uifeamman Ge0 15f?fv-via' , .

A. every Thursday evening at 6:30 o'c1ock. The purpose of the club is to advocate clean athletics, clean speech, and clean living. The motto is: To create. maintain, and extend throughout the school and community higher standards of Christian character. The club was organized in 1915 under the name of The High School Club . This was a luncheon club with a purpose similar to that of the present Hi-Y Club. In 1920 the name was changed to the Hi-Y Club. This organization which is sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. is one of the most popular clubs in school. The programs at the Hi-Y meetings are very interesting. After supper has been served to the members, club business and school topics are discussed. Next some prominent man ad- dresses the club. Beside the regular meetings there have been a Father-and-Son banquet and a Football banquet. In February some of the members went to the annual Hi-Y Older Boys' Conference at Austin. Perhaps the most anticipated and enjoyable program of the year was the annual i'Sweetheart banquet at the Navarro Hotel. Each member brought some fair damsel, and all were treated with a big feast and entertainment. The termination of the school year marks another successful Hi-Y year. Even though many of the members will graduate all will retain pleasant memories of the good times had in the Hi-Y Club.

S. has had a girl's literary club since 1915. A. Y. I.. I. was organized in that year under the direction of Nliss Lewis, English teacher, and Mr. Clough, high school principal, for the purpose of promoting interest in good literature and bringing the girls together in a social way. The first year the club studied women famous in history. Since that time the subjects have varied. the most important having been the study of folklore, balladry. southern literature. and contemporary dramas. This year the girls have taken up the study of modern drama for the nrst semester, and the study of short stories for the second semester. The members, aside from broadening their knowledge in the literary world. have enjoyed many social events. The entertainments this year have consisted of a Halloween party at the home of Gladys Tyner: of a Valentine party at the home of Haridene Holmes: and of a St. Patricks party at the home of Eula Huff. The club also played a prominent part in school activities, responding to any call through which the school might be benefited. The brilliant success of the club this year has been due in large measure to the constant work of Miss Ruth Wilson, its sponsor. cwifna rn 6 van.: We 57694 Qarne r A Zfn dam :fZ'QaEm Lgfildfgiwkbg 1 435: E 'ff' C9ur'l?.-swwlffon Eannizfwnfaon A h,Ii. onWef6 x Sgmrffffjfgy , h 4 BRYAN DEBATING CLUB OFFICERS Fall Term Spring Term PAUL DRESSER taat .S President, rrrrrrr .SPAUL DRESSER MAURICE YOUNG 7, ,, , Vice-President . ,, ,, 7 JOE KEY GARNER JOHN HASLAM ,, . .

WEATHERBY,.., UUUUUU.. . Sponsors UUUUUU MR, D. B. WEATHERBY The Bryan Debating and Declamation Club is beyond doubt the oldest and most progressive club in the Corsicana High School. According to the most reliable reports, the club was first organized in 1902, under Ormond Purifoy: since its organization it has made much progress in lines of debating and decla- mation. For instance, in 1913, W. R. Howell and Finis Senor, representing the club, won the State Championship, again in 1914, W. R. Howell and Homer T. Watson won the State Championship. This club holds the highest record in this respect, as no other school in the state can claim the honor of holding the State Declamation Championship cup for two successive years. 1915 Chester Pugh and Oscar Albritton represented the club in debate and lost the final debate for the championship to San Antonio, thus losing the right to make the cup a permanent possession. In 1916 Louis Wolens and Jack Cwladney were defeated in the final debate by San Marcos Academy, although they were considered the best speakers. They are said to have created a sensation in the state. In 1918 Nlerton Minter and Ray Lee lost in the final debate to Sweetwater. ln the same year Harry Jack won in declamation at the district meet. Since its organization in 1902, the Bryan Debating Club has been the most prominent and successful club in the entire school. The work and purpose of the club is to train the boys of the high school not only in debate, but especially to train them to speak well in public upon any occasion: another important phase of the c1ub's activity is the parliamentary training. The Bryan Debating Club instructs those who are leaders in the high school, and who, we believe, will be leaders in the future. To prove this statement we wish to offer the names of the following men who, when students, took an important part in the activities of the club: Wayne Howell, city attorneyg Warren Hicks, county judge: W. H. Jack, a successful lawyer: Robert Cooksey: Louis Wolens: and Charles Banister, one of the Texas University debaters who defeated the best eastern teams. ln the last several years, although not winning the county title, the debating teams have caused much comment. This year the club is represented by Joe Kelton Wells and Doyle West. 1 T' later Gfiae Venter C 3f5i.sz :Vera Ufiarneff Cvwxcmcwafker Gnf19a LATIN CLUB ISABELLE HENDERSON . eeee President MARY Jo YOUNG L Vice-President PAGET MARRL, ,,N, L , Secretary DoRoTHY FLAGG . LTreasurer CLYDE STROUD Sergeantfal-Arms In order to gain a more perfect knowledge of Latin and to learn something of the people who spoke that language, the students of Latin organized a club in the year l923, The course of study includes classical myths and the manners and customs of the ancient Romans. Their knowledge of such matters is very beneficial to the students in their study of Latin as it is presented in the classroom. As well as being a success intellectually, the club has a social aspect which stimulates the interest of the members, One evening each month is chosen for a social meeting at which various games and Latin contests are enjoyed. An event which is always interesting is the initiation of new members. All sorts of comical and ridiculous tricks are played on those fortunate enough to become members of the Latin Club. Through the efforts of the club the Latin room has been provided with copies of 'ACicero in His Oration Against Cataline and the 'AVestal Virgins, which add very much to the attractiveness of the room. Each year the Latin Club has presented Corsicana High School with an appropriate gift: in the year 1923-24 a large bust of Caesar, in 1924-25, a beautiful copy of the famous Reading from Homer. As a result of the ellicient guidance of Miss Agnew the current year has been most successful. The only wish of the mem- bers, to make this year a complete success, is that they may be able to leave a gift as beautiful and appropriate as those presented in former years.

Critic.. SPRING TERNI MARJORIE TAYLOR MADELINE JAFPE SARAH STANDER MARGARET HARDWICK MISS HAMILTON MISS MARTIN Motto: EI trabajo hczce la vida agradable. The two-fold purpose of A'La Tertulia is to stimulate interest in Spanish customs, art, literature, etc., and to give practice in the actual speaking of Spanish and a more thorough understanding of that language. The club has been fortunate this year in having elected two very capable presidents, who are in a large measure responsible for the delightful programs of the club. This club requires not only an interest in activities, but also a certain Scho- lastic standing to attain membership. But any extra effort on the part of Spanish Club members has been amply repaid. Besides the regular business there has always been some music on each program: this usually of Spanish or Mexican strain. Then there were games, such as Spanish baseball, that have been played,fdiverting yet instructive. Many contests have stimulated the interests of the club: at the same time they have created a necessity for knowledge of this language. Miss Martin has told us many amusing and serious incidents of Mexican life: Miss Hamilton has given us vivid pictures of customs and manner of living in South America, particularly Brazil. We have had one-act plays at our meetings. We took part in the Vaudeville on Carnival Night. At one meeting, a seven-year-old Spanish boy conducted the meeting by giving any information about Spanish customs that the mem- bers could ask. We have had socials where we might learn to associate with all the Spanish students, where we might learn to Sing various Spanish songs and, in a general way, inculcate within us a Spanish atmosphere. Last year the Spanish Club gave to the High School a beautiful picture-a monastery scene. We hope to leave behind a set of Spanish books as a token of our activity and our interest in C. H. S. K'La Tertulian has indeed had a most successful year. .ugkfmmzfw N 0 , Q ,, is 1.51 Lflfan Clarks 6 tam gram wrong 4G1fZ'e zfaaffrngfyf .4...c.:m.,7 .9P6e6MeeZn6J.,,. W 55 , K , ffm m mir?

Carry us bach to our graduating night! A precedent has been broken. lior the first time the Alumni Association of Corsicana Hi has gained sufhcient prestige to be asked to speak a piece for the annual. It has been suggested that a general resume of our activities down thro' the ages would naturally be the proper theme to treat at this time: but in attempting to set forth something of the history of the Association. we nnd ourselves seriously handi- capped by a lack of records. However. the few facts we have been able to gather from different members. we hope may prove interesting enough to inspire greater co-operation and stronger support in the future. The need is self-evident To begin. it might be well to define ourselves. To appear a bit aristocratic we have assumed the classical title, Alumni , of Latin derivation, which Mr. NVebster defines very simply as the 'lgraduate of a school . To be very exact we are the 1157 once-upon-a-time boys C428j and girls C729j who have succeeded in passing the prescribed course of study of the Corsicana High School. Just here let us stress one particular point. lt is this: the person graduating from C. H. S. automatically becomes a member of the Alumni Association. So. graduates, there is no escaping it: even if you die you may be referred to as a deceased member. A word to the wise is sufficient. To the class of 1884 belongs the distinction of furnishing the lirst who were eligible to membership in the Alumni Association. This class was composed of Misses Wilma Edwards and Belle Hand. the latter now Mrs. S. M. Kerr of our city. The individual class contributing the largest number to the Association was that of 1925 with its membership of 99. We learn that active organization of the Association was not effected until 1895 or '96. The names mentioned oftenest as the probable principals in the organization are Messrs. J. M. Church C865 deceased, Fred Freeman C'87l, and Leland Malone C941 Messrs, Freeman and Malone are non-residents of Corsicana, and we have been unable to find out who had. the honor of serving as the first president. We can be detinitely sure about one thing, however. It is that a most enjoyable celebration does take place every year immediately following the graduating exercises. The main feature. of course. is a reunion of the former graduates to admit or initiate the members of the latest class. The attendance has always been fairly representative of the many classes since 1884. The financial status of the Association has always presented itself as the club's biggest problem. The nominal sum of twenty-five cents a member per year. as dues, has proved decidedly inade- quate. But since the day of woman's rights arrived and Mrs. Clark Boltz, one of its most devoted and energetic members, was elected president. a series of rummage sales. forty-two and, bridge tournaments, etc., have most successfully put it on a firm foundation linancially, according to the gratifying report of the efficient secretary-treasurer, Mr. Christopher Knox, Jr. This year the ofhcers and committee on arrangements are planning to do Hsomething different and with a woman at its head , naturally, they are expecting to Hput it over , too. i qgaemraefe Ukknmfkvawd Gffrwfznecjfumf Zin :Zin ci '69u1inQrief5 HMO! i'?'7 '5'o-'i'lZ l . 47 ' ', 'fhfliff ' 3 'few , ',- 4! fx ' - ' 4 5 ff 'iiia , 1 K ' V , Y I Y X I, , , A - vm 5:5 f cgx mm X qi Ffow E cj 'ix YJLLS dfgfkic' A Q Af X 3 4 dk My SCHOOL LIFE TX , X ' FFF fb Wwi, wax Qi W sy, J 4. w qw Q3 U Q CW www 55 5' 'CEE mwwwwu f N . i 1 - - VV -.-1 W t l . .

Most of the acts were by local talent. The following acts were on the bill: First, Ukulele Ladies, with Misses Frances Redden, Hazel Poindexter, and Frances Roth and Ellis Caldwellg next, Cottonwood Cut-Ups, a black- face act featuring C. Horn, R. Lawrence, and A. Wareing. Many took part in the act following, A'Turn Over, in which characters from the family album and favorite movie stars paraded before the audience. Stranded Souls, a marine act, proved a decided hit with Ned Brownlee and Annie Laura McCarver in the leading parts. The fifth act introduced the famous Charleston to Corsicana audiences. Following this, Miss Louie D. Agnew delighted the audience with a group of songs. She was accompanied by Miss Nalda Hamilton. Mary Jo Young as an Italian girl and Lewis David as the Swiss Mountain Climber put the League of Nations act over big. Miss Rosellen Sadler's pupils concluded the program with a ballet. We hope that future entertainments will meet with the wonderful Success that the vaudeville enjoyed. PROSPECTS OF SENIOR PLAY As The Corsican goes to press, a cast is working hard on the Senior Play.

UNIVERSITY OE TEXAS INTERSCHOLASTIC LEAGUE COUNTY MEET The Navarro County Meet held at the state home March 25 was an impor- tant day in Corsicana High School History. Our Ciirls shared at least half the glory with our boys. Never before has such interest been shown in the county meet. The C. H. S. girls captured first places in literary events. Mary Alice Happle and Sarah Stander took Hrst place in spelling. Esther Mae Tarver and Edith Williams won the debate, while Mary Jo Young took first place in decla- mation. Alpine Harper Won the Fillers Cup in extemporaneous speaking. One would hardly recognize our handsome trophy case, which a few Weeks ago had only a few cups in it. The girls are proud of the part they played in Hlling this with beautiful trophies. Both the boys and girls very much appre- ciate the trophies and wish to take this manner of thanking the donors of the prizes. For the first time in many seasons Corsicana has been represented by a track team which won the county meet decisively. The Tiger squad Won eleven out of a possible fourteen first places.

' X ATHLETICS FOOTBALL RETRosPEcT1vE Football teams fall into three classes, many being simply tolerated. most merely taken as they come. and some sincerely feared, respected, and scouted. Distinctly of the last class were the Corsicana Tigers of '25, a team which, applauded by the press of the state. proved fully as great on the gridiron as on paper: which, comprising in regulars and recruits more than three full elevens, was yet as formidable in quality as in quantity: and which. in fighting for and attaining the greatest record of all Corsicana High School teams, displayed even more of promise than of power. Intensive early training, including a week's encampment on the Bosque, enabled Coach Pierce to place in the Hrst. last. and all intervening games, a lineup, or three lineups, which looked like eleven million dollars, and which left an eleven billion dollar history. Even the only two losses of the eleven game season were victories in themselves-exceptions which proved the rule, and especially the future rule of Corsicana High School in Interscholastic athletics. JOHN A. PIERCE There is something about the name Coach , as a fellow says it when he means it, that is almost divine. To the boys who make up his teams, Johnny A, Pierce is. and always will be, Coach in that significant sort of way. First the gentleman, then the athlete-that is his creed, and it is such a combination of sportsmanship and technic that adds glory to his successes and steals the bitterness from his failures. Though comparatively a new-comer, the former A. 8 M. freshman coach is already a local institution. upon whose proven ability much of the future greatness of Corsicana High School athletics depends. DEVANEY GREENE A hard-luck jinx stayed hot on the trail of the captain of the Tigers this year and succeeded in afflicting him with a broken arm and various other injuries which kept him from practically every game of the season. Nevertheless, the tenacity with which he clung to his job lent luster to the renown he had won in l924, and his efforts were an inspiration to the remainder of the team. ARTHUR WAREING The importance of the managing end of athletics has never been more fully appreciated than at the present. Corsicana was fortunate this year in having a super-business manager. Arthur Wareing, His every thought was for the benefit of the Tigers, and he could see a thing only in the light of its being favorable to the team. A clean deal for the Corsicans throughout the season was the exceedingly good result. 137. U ffmgrf t Q fu' y -Ira.,-A A H Q. ta? -1 ,Q .ext Q7 fab. W 2595- fa , -f eff.

As an introduction the game gave rise to sundry sound conclusions concerning the quality of the products of Coach Pierce. A BATTLE BULLY Corsicana 684Teague O Thirty-six gridsters grinned into the faces of the plucky but luckless enemy as the low- tackling. hard-hitting line and the battling, battering backs of the blue and gold demonstrated at the expense of the Teague team just what a decidedly decisive victory should look like, the bill being 68-0. Championship calibre was in every play and in every player of the local team. Varnell, Sutherland, Potts, Middleton, Neely, and Younger each made a touchdown. and the inspired Abie Morton negotiated four.. REMEMBER THE ALAMO Corsicana l2-Ennis O lt was a season for revenges, and certainly among the most tempting victims were the Ennis Lions, too often in the past conquerors of the Cats, A sea of mud made this year's conflict practically a naval battle, but Varnell's two touchdowns, Morton's spectacular 40-yard run, and Pughs dashing. if somewhat muddy, recovery of a fumble were highlights of the 12-O C. H. S. victory.

The interception and return of passes as were the substantial gains by Varnell and Middleton, while the danger zone was good to look upon. Corsicana O-Waco 28 Never has a Corsicana football team received such a glowing tribute as was paid to the Tigers of '25 by the three hundred and Hfty students, teachers, and citizens who made the memorable trip to Waco, marched through that city singing the praises of the blue and gold, and at the game stayed behind their team to the very last, even though the boys were hopelesslyiyet still hopefully-trailing the potential State Champions. Never has a football team responded in such a manner: they gave their all-they gave more, And now when it is considered that the wonderful sportsmanship and loyalty of the fans of the team gained for Corsicana High School an undying reputation of the highest degree, and further that the powerful Waco machine later won the State Championship game by a score of 20-7, it becomes doubly evident that the efforts of both the fans and the team were far from vain. The work of Younger, the Varnells, Morwood, Willie. and in fact, of the entire team, in view of the opposition, was remarkable, and hats are off to the Tigers of '25 for holding the State Champion Waco Bengals to the smallest score in the history of the association of the two schools. Moral: Waco may be our Waterloo, but some day we're going to visit them with a drought.

Corsicana 0-North Dallas 7 A short pass in the second period. concluding a drive made possible by a series of adverse breaks, enabled the North Dallas Bulldogs to emerge victors from one of the best played and most equally matched contests of the entire season, the final count being 7-O, It was anybody's game from beginning to end, but the fates favored the Bulldogs, as the affray developed into a punting party. The terrific tackling of the Tigers was a general and noteworthy feature. Individually, Morwood, Varnell, Pugh. Younger, and Green took honors for the day. TRIUMPH Corsicana 7---Hillsboro 0 The ball which left the trusty hand of Roy Varnell to settle securely within the eager grasp of Clyde Halbert. to be conveyed hastily thence to a point of safety beyond the coveted white line, was the answer not to one dream, hope, prayer, and vow, but to thousands upon thousands of them from the hearts of all Corsicana, who for ages has been forced to feel the sting of defleat at the claws of the ever-powerful Hillsboro Eagles. For three nerve-racking quarters a scoreless battle raged, and it was only in the last few minutes of play that a desperate aerial attack resulted in the most famous pass in our history and settled definitely the climax of the current season. the final attainment of one increasing purpose, hereditary in Tiger teams from the beginning of time -the defeat of Hillsboro. Preeminent in the victory were Halbert, Varnell, and Sutherland, who, with Humphrey, Pugh, Younger, White, Morwood, Crowley, T. Varnell, Sutton, Potts, Morton, Bird, Lawrence, Montfort, Jackson, Lowrey, Brown, Neely, McKinney, Pagin, and N I Willie, turned the trick for Corsicana.

LUMSDEN CHARGE OE THE LIGHT BRIGADE Corsicana 39-Tyler 0 Wearing out their opponents in the fIrst half of the C. H. S.-Tyler game, the famous steam- roller division of Coach Pierce's versatile aggregation not only scored a touchdown, but also prepared the way for the light brigade, led by Morton and Potts, literally to run the Tylerites ragged with four furious markers during their sojourn in the social. These, plus subsequent additional points, forced the Tigers to take the larger end of a 39-0 tally, and incidentally to exhibit some of the best form of the season in scoring them. The performance of Mortonx was proclaimed the greatest ever seen in East Texas, and the big brunette had able colleagues in Potts, Varnell, and Middleton. CONFLICT EOR A CROWN Corsicana 30-State Home 0 The championship of Navarro County was the booty of this year's battle with the State Orphans' Home battalion. Only a day from the Tyler struggle, and forced to employ hudd1e signals, the Tigers nevertheless experienced little difficulty in outplaying their opponents by 30 points in the test for the title, Touchdowns by Varnell, Sutherland, Sutton, and McKinney, together with a safety, supplied the scoring, and the excellent showing of Morwood, Humphrey.

It was a game of stars, for everyone starred. And though those stars trickled from the Held that evening never to reassemble as the Tigers of '25, the star-studded record they have left will glow with the light cf fame as long as the stars in heaven, preserving its makers' memory.

P. DOUGLAS CAPT AIN HAROLD GREENE RESUME ln one of the most intensive campaigns of the scholastic basketball battle, the Corsicana Tigers fought their way to another silver loving cup as Winners of second place in the Texas Inter- scholastic League Hnals held at the State University battlefield. Coached by O. P. Douglas, led by the brilliant generalship of Captain Greene, and supported by the work of Horne, All-State selection and the greatest high school player in Texas, the team won eighteen out of twenty-one encounters, bowing in graceful defeat only to Grand Saline, Baylor U. Cubs, and Brackenridge High of San Antonio. An injury to Roy Varnell, sterling guard, in the thick of the fight, did much to deprive the team of the state title, but his place was ably filled by Crowley, collaborating with the flashy Morwood. Humphrey proved an old reliable, to whom the obligation of turning apparent defeat into actual victory frequently fell. A capable All-State squad could have been selected from the ranks of the second and third team privates who frequented the Tiger camp this year, boding woe to opposing teams of the future. At the source of all this success is Coach Douglas. An inexpressible something that makes boys come out for the team, and spectators come out for the games attends the master mentor of the runners-up, and the following results reflect his quality: GOAL-DEN RECORDS CorsicanaWW , ,341Eaculty , ..,,. ,a,,,,, l l Corsicana 63-Midlothian WWWW16 Corsicana W W34!Arlington ,,,, Corsicana S.M.U.

The potentialities of the team were well displayed, and an ultrasuccessful season predicted. VICE VERSA Playing Santa Claus to their opponents, the Tigers, with Horne nursing a sprained back, missed fire for the first time and lost the Battle of Christmas Night , 29-8, on the large Grand Saline court. In the next engagement, the Corsicans counter-attacked and gained back the lost ground by administering the Hrst defeat the Grand Saline Indians had ever suffered on their home ground, I9-17. CAPTURE OF FORT WORTH The highly lauded Fort Worth Y Triangles, afterwards conquerors of choice teams of Texas and Mexico, were forced to begin their triumphant tour a little after they met the locals, who spoiled their record by a score of 28-18. The Tigers next took an easy game from the Gaston Gorillas, 34-ll. TIGERS WIN FIRST INTERSCHOLASTIC GAME In the first grapple with another high school team entered in the State Championship light, the Tigers outshot and outfought the Kerens aggregation, but in the second game played in Kerens, the team barely nosed out opposition on a dirt court. As a result of these two victories the team won the county championship and received the beautiful Kent-Middleton trophy, au., Lf-'D saw 5, 5 fat, , 'I X ,ft ,-, L ' , fx jf,f-f-W ' 'o VARNELL IVIORWOOD CROWLEY SWEET REVENGE In full payment for the loss suffered through them in football, the Tigers easily put the Waco team to rout at the Y gym by a large enough count to double the football loss. VICTORY IS SWEET Forced to use every available resource, the Tigers fell back upon the reliable shooting of Layton Humphrey and defeated the Dallas Y. M. H. A. squad in the best fought and most exciting game of the year. The Tigers showed in this game the fighting Tiger spirit. The Tigers used straight shooting and passing to completely overwhelm the forces from Fort Worth, supposed to be the best in that city, in a good exhibition of the proverbial walk-away. Horne, Humphrey, and Greene ran amuck to do the dirty Work for the Corsicana boys. The score was 53-24. If the Polytechnic massacre was a walk-away, this game with the Midlothian Highlanders was an absolute run-away. The second and third squads got into the fray and they played real basketball. The strong Fish team from S. M. U. bowed in defeat to the Tigers in the next best game of the season. Layton and Greene were there in the pinches and delivered the goods to Win. TIGERS PLUCK HORNETS' VJINGS The highly touted Stephenville battery was completely smothered by the Tiger forwards and guarding of Morwood and Crowley, to a score of 38-16.

The victory of 43-9 gave us the district championship. THE LAST DRIVE Supported by some one hundred rabid fans, the regiment representing Gorsicana entered the linal battlefield at Austin by defeating the Gatesville Prisoners. 27-IZ. in a game that was well played and hard fought from beginning to end. Horne did the sharp shooting for the Tigers, but it was Layton and George who did the hard lighting. In this game Captain Greene showed his ability to keep cool under tire. and he played a steady game. TIGERS BEAT SANDERSON After drawing a bye in the battle at Austin. the Tigers eliminated the Sanderson machine gun regiment in a thrilling and exciting battle featured by the last-quarter attack which gave the Tigers the battle and right to enter the semi-finals against Austin. HORNE BEATS AUSTIN Only the inspired shooting of Horne turned the tide of defeat to one of victory as that All-State fighter rang eight field goals for sixteen of the local counters. Morwood was at his best in this game, checking. bringing out the ball. and fighting all the time. Crowley played well, but that may be said for the rest of the team as well.

BOYS' BASKETBALL WATERLOO With only the Brackenridge High School of San Antonio in the Way of the State Championship, the Tigers got behind a steady advance and their counter- attack came too late to Win the victory. Deprived of the cool assurance of their captain, who was forced from the game on fouls in the Hrst quarter, the Tigers became inspired a little too late, and, although they scored twelve points in the last quarter, the San Antonio lead was too large to be overcome. Thus ended the most successful campaign in Tiger history, and we have hopes of doing even better in '27, Name Position Best Game HAROLD GREENE Qijaptainj .L ssss Cenrer ssss Oatesville CLARENCE HORNE L L A Forwardm .,.eAustin LAYTON HUMPHREY A Fortuardss. sesss Y.

However, where theres a will there's a way , and the girls stuck with it with Tigeristic perseverance. despite the discouragement which came on every hand. This little band formed what was almost an Athletic Club in which the girls enjoyed good. healthful exercise and pleasureable companionship. Although their victories were not numerous and their career apparently not brilliant. they have derived something from the experience that is invaluable to them. Those girls who did not come out can only regret that they did not belong to this enjoyable Basketball Society of '26.

BASEBALL When Coach Pierce called his baseball team together at the first of the season he had a young and green bunch of material. All the players were too small, so the students thought, to make a real Tiger team. Harold Greene was elected captain, and hard practice sessions were held daily. To date the Tigers have played four games with school teams, of which they have won three. The team has been showing up splendidly and progressing at a rapid rate. The only severe setback has been through the loss of Oscar Bird, who was injured in the Dawson game.

TRACK Coach Douglas, because of the loss of Roy Varnell, the star of last year's track team, through ineligibility, faced an almost impossible task in his attempt to build a track team that would be Worth anything. George Smith captained the squad and led them in their daily workouts at the State Home. Then came the county meet, the results of which we all know. The team won the J. A. Pierce cup for best allfround track team. Coach Douglas was fully repaid for his hard work when the track boys took first place in all but three events, and in these they made a good showing. George Morwood and George Smith have shown up best in all-round Work, and are expected to go to the state at the head of the rest of the team. The boys will go to Hillsboro to the district meet, and from there, we hope, to the state. The squad is a game, fighting bunch, and will never stop trying.

SOCIETY NOTES FACULTY DANCE The C. H. S. faculty staged a most successful dance Friday night in the Library. The furniture had been removed and this gave the needed space for the jazzy dances performed. Music was furnished by the 'iComb and French Harp Delight , the new local orchestra. Special features of the evening were flj Solo Charleston, Margaret Vest: CZD French Tango by two couples, Mr. For- sythe and Louie D. Agnew and Don Vvfeatherby and Mary Holmes. The only unpleasant feature of the evening was that O. P. Douglas had to be removed from the floor because of improper conduct. It was also rumored that Froggy Cross was nearing pollution. The dance ended promptly at 4 a. m. and everyone had breakfast at the Midget. MASS MEETING OF NED BROWNLEE'S ADMIRERS On Wednesday evening, April lst, a mass meeting of Ned Brownlee's admirers was held. There was a very enjoyable program for the evening. The first feature was a long speech by Mr. Brownlee himself before his admirers. Next his most ardent worshiper rendered several vocal solos with ukelele accompani- ment This was undoubtedly the hit of the evening. After the minutes of the previous meeting were read it was found that there had been a hundred per cent attendance. After one last look at himself in his dresser mirror, Ned laid his Nuke on the table, turned off the light, and went to bed. NEW RIDING CLUB Join the latest Hi School Club! The new Riding Club!
