Crockett High School - Bulldog Yearbook (Crockett, TX)

Text from Pages 1 - 168 of the 1947 volume:

A1N,STATION huaTsta uA5 1__ :T|VlTlES iVOMTE5 49 fT i!r • � V- ffy sincere wish for each student in Crockett High School is that as the years pass, you will strive to keep a wholesome, open- minded attitude toward the problems of life. The ability to think clearly through life's problems, to fight for democratic principles, to wish for others the same good things in life that you desire for yourself, to give happiness to others wherever you are, these and many other traits so necessary for a happy and successful life depend to a large extent upon your abili- ty to maintain an open mind, free from bias and prejudice. These traits are characteristics of youth. You possess these traits now. Keep them. Shun pessimism, defeatism, cynicism, and frustration, and your life will be richer and fuller, and a blessing to those with whom you come in contact. ■vJ. W. L. JORDAN, Superintendent To a glorious person whose every thought is with the students of C. H. S., to one without whom this book would have never been possible, we affectionately dedicate to Miss Beulah Breazeale the Bull- dog of 1947. For the theme of the 1947 BULLDOG we have chosen a salute to David Crockett, who, by the side of other heroes, fought to make our Texas free. The fame and renown of David Crockett is so well established that our prob- lem was not to find enough material but to be wise in our selection of events in order to relate the story of his flaming will to win. In David Crockett’s own words, we took as our guide, Be sure you're right, then go ahead. We Texans today look to Crockett and the Alamo as an excellent example of Texas courage, which was shown again in our recent struggle for freedom. As you turn through the pages of this edition of the BULLDOG, we hope that you realize that the staff has worked tirelessly to make this, the 1947 BULLDOG a reality. We feel that our time was spent usefully if everyone who reads our book will be engendered not only with the life of our school but also with the history of our town, Crockett, and the man for whom it was named. We Salute dh.ock.ett PfiCncCpolI'4, Now that the printer and photographers have fast- ened your names and pictures between the covers of this book, the BULLDOG of 1946-' 101 is reacfy. Two questions - are you a distinguished lot, and does the future belong to you, as so many speakers and writers say? Will you, whether your knowledge increases or diminishes, have something left that will enrich your life? My wish is that you may confront your problems and comradeships with an unselfish spirit, devotion to truth, and a reverence for religion. If you do these things, you will be a living demon- stration of the values of the education furnished by this community; and C. H. S. will be justified in the eyes of the world. Goodby, Seniors. And to the rest - 'till we meet in September. Sincerely, W. M.

Unfamiliar with the routine of school, we know nen -tfhat our first years must have been ludicrous, as we recall among con ajj potly located on the ground floor and running home to their mothers when they believed the school building would soon explode. Progressing rapidly to the second grade, we felt capable of any mental test that our home-room teachers, Mrs. Driskell and Mrs. Barbee, put before us. It was at this time that Joyce Skipper and Billy Royce Brown were added to the enrollment of our class. This year left a scar on all of us, literally speaking, as we bravely faced the Health Doctor to take smallpox vaccina- tions.

We lost several members of the class but Alfred Lee Smith and James Satterwhite joined our ranks in the home-rooms of Mrs. Parker and Miss Kathryn Hassell. The seventh grade was sponsored by Mrs. Sallas and Mr. T. Whittlesey. Texas State School Superintendent, L. A. Wood's grandson, Grady Wright, was one of us that year. We didn't discover who his grandfather was until he exclaimed, while looking through a history book one day, “Why, here's a picture of Grandpa!” The eigth grease started with a bang, for we anticipated elementary school graduation on Ifai . The beloved Miss Hattie and Miss Gloria Van Pelt sponsored this ctogs. Romances that would last forever were in full bloom. Among these sari Allee-Holcomb, Skipper-Lewis, and Warren- Rush.

Nothing that would make this a gala affair was left undone. Palms, lerns, flowers, and subdued lights were used in the decorations. A bar in the back of the club furnished refreshments during the evening. As the guests arrived they were ushered into the club, shown to a table by the head waiter, and their orders taken. The menu from which the guests made their choice of food and drinks consisted of the following: Grape Fruit Juice Tomato Cocktail Shrimp Cocktail Cream of Tomato Soup Prime Roast Piglet Oyster on Half Shell Stringless String Beans Parsley Potatoes Night Club Special Salad Strawberry Parfait Ambrosia Celery Baked Duckling Chicken a la King Brussel Sprouts Beef Bouillon Broiled Minute Steak Creamed Lobster Cobless Corn Candied Yams Combination Vegetable Salad Tomato Salad Apple Pie with Cheese Ice Cream Olives Radishes Mints Iced Tea Demi-tasse Milk The first floor show at 8 45 presented such well-known entertainers as Bob Hope, Hildegarde, The Andrews Sisters, Walter Winchell, and Arthur Murray. A program of ten dances and two extras followed the first floor show. The second floor show at 10.45 presented Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra, Abbot and Costello, Betty Grable, and others. After hearing a pre- view of coming attractions, the guests of the High Hat Club reluctantly gave up night clubing and returned to their homes.

With carefully selected casts of characters from the senior class, three one-act plays were presented in the high school auditorium on March 14, 1947. Musical selections were given between the plays. Proceeds from tickets sold were used for the traditional parting gift to the school from the senior class. The first school was established in Crockett between 1850 and 1855, where the Browmberg Building now stands. Mrs. Dillingham was the School Marm. In 1871, Major Spence and his wife established the Crockett Academy at what is now the site of Mr. John Le Guy's home. Pupils paid tuition to the board of managers. Mrs. Lucy Collins was one of the teachers. When Major Spence retired to the private practice of law, Mr. W. B. Page of Virginia be- came his successor. Mr. Spence remained as a teacher, serving in this capac- ity for nearly half a century. The first public school was founded approximately in 1885, with Mr. Page as the first superintendent. The frame building was later replaced by brick building in 1892 on the site of the present elementary school. In 1918, the old brick building gave way to the present elementary building. Our present high school building was completed in 1930. Among the various superintendents were Mr. Walker King, Mr. Seebring, Mr. Sotterfield, Mr. Donald McDonald, Mr. B. F. Thomas, Mr. I. J. Deck and Mr. W. L. Jordan, our present superintendent since 1939. Crosby Athens Corrigan Alto Navasota Crockett 38 Groveton ( Crockett 53 Grapeland C Crockett 19 .........

We hope that the map of Texas and all the principles for which it stands are carved indelibly upon your brain. Much credit is due our faculty and the members of our high school for their help and co-operation. We wish to express our appreciation to our sponsors, Miss Breazeale and Mrs. Churchill without whose work and enthusiasm the BULLDOG of 1947 could never have been a reality. We put forth all our time and effort to give Crockett High School an annual. We are proud of it, and we hope you like it. THE STAFF ii Your yearbook is a store of treasured memories. The oft re- peated thrill of recollection which accompanies each new search through its pages will many times repay you for the care and consideration which has gone into its creation. We are proud of the part we have had in the production of this book. It indicates the wealth of ideas and ability which have made possible the long record of our school annual achievement.
