But the girls he won’t court, For he says there’s no sport, For they all are too willing and ready. Another wise laddie is Bush, In lessons he heats (?) the whole push. On baseball he’s wise. At the girls he makes eyes. This cute little Senior named Bush. And the next is a cute one named Freddie He may often be seen with “Big” Eddie. He’s really a wonder. And dresses like thunder. And with speeches lie’s always quite ready. Another great wonder is Goode, To the teachers he’s really quite rude, But art is his game. And here he’s won fame, Even though he is a swell dude. And now I must mention “dear” Lloyd, Of learning he’s not quite devoid, And the curl of his hair Makes all the girls care Till Garry ’ is really annoyed. .Vow another to you 1 would show. Ilis habits arc always so, so. His hair is coal black. And I’ll tell you a fact— He’s quite jealous of Garry’ you know. And the next “nice Senior is Hicks, From the teachers he ne’er receives kicks. In his studies he’s fine. And he walks the chalk line, And a “great man’’ he’ll be, we predict. And now cometh one named Jim, It’s a marvel to look at him. He’ll tell you any time That he weighs one-twenty-nine, But really that’s the weight of one limb. (W hat does he weigh then?) Then there is a Senior named Bell, Who sports exceedingly well, Though his hair is near yellow. He’s a pretty good fellow. But he thinks lie’s somewhat of a swell. Vow John is a Senior “small,” Some day he hopes to grow tall. But his prospects are few For from his head to his shoe I doubt if he’s three-feet in all. Vow another there is named Brown, W ith a girl he can never be found. A farmer, that’s true. But I guess he will do. If to this tradef?) he ever stays bound. Vow the last I would mention is Sid,” At singing he’s the Candy Kid.” But he sings like a frog. Tie’s as thick as a fog. And of smiles he’s never quite rid. Vow to finish I would say That if no joke you see. Do not get mad T pray And seek a scrap” with me. For some rhymes are based on a “fib.’’ And are written merely to rhyme: And you know in poetry to lie,, Ts never considered a crime. Chas.

Voted to he the most inquisitive. (nr who has original thoughts and is very exacting of others. He may truly be called an unusual character. Florence Rosamond Andrews. One year in Denton schools. „ Now. phrenologists say that a large knot on the back of the head indicates a strong love for home. We certainly have no reason (unless the fashions change ) to believe that Rosa mond loves anything but her home. Moreover. she is a striking contradiction to the old adage that Preachers’ children are worse than other people’s. Some I). H .S. students have even confessed to the editor that they have never heard Rosy talk or even seen her smile. The latter is a mistake, for when she gives a smile it makes up in sweetness for its rarity. The class of 1910 know this for a fact, however, she never expresses her thoughts until forced to do so. But—(). pshaw! that's all right. Who likes a chatterbox ?, Altlia Louise Hall. “She out-Herods Herod.” —Second Basket Hall Team 09- 10—In Denton schools. 8 years. N oted to he “Most tickle. This is a girl of moods and passions. When si e likes a person, she likes them, but beware of gaining her displeasure for she will surely seek revenge. As you have perhaps noticed all through our school connection with her. she has betrayed her wish and purpose in life, that of becoming a missionary. And how often has she disputed the great works of Emerson, and has oft times replaced his thoughts by those of her own. Sidney Quintin Bates: “Grandpa.” Secretary of the Senior Class. President of Clio 07- 08. In Denton schools. 10 years. Voted to be “The most congenial.” Secretary to the Business Manager ,1910. He smiles and smiles and smiles. It does seem as if they (smiles) would give out some day, but we have yet to see that day. Even through the most strenuous of tests. Sid goes in with a smile and departs with a smile. Here is where a great many of us would profit by taking him as a “smiling example.” He has been rudely accused of falling a victim to the old adage. “Laugh and grow fat. It is again said he received this precious piece of information from Jim Inge, a fellow student. J. C. Bell: “Jake.” Pierian. Vice President of Junior Class, 08-’OS. In Denton schools, 10 years. Voted to he the most aristocratic. J. C. is very popular among the boys on account of his wit and dry fun. He has the fortunate {characteristic of taking everything in a good humor and of seeing something funny in everything. He is full of wise suggestions in Literature and History. His timidity prevents him from approaching the girls and entering their society. Bessie Alice Ball. “The thing a woman says she won't, she’s always sure of doing. Pierian. Secretary C-Sharp club. In Denton schools, 8 years. Voted to be the most independent. Bessie’s independent nature is very striking. Her perfect indifference to other’s opinions particularly characterizes her. also her abrupt decisions. Her actions are usually contrary to what is expected or exacted of her. She is like the one of whom it was said: “When convinced against his will, he is of the same opinion still.” James Leslie Brown: Mooney.' In Denton schools. 6 years. Voted to he Most eccentric.” With a most silent and demure expression upon his countenance, he sits quietly through a recitation and never vouches a question or an answer unless asked by some inquisitive prof.” Then he quite willingly iscourses upon that subject. But of all his subjects, if he excels in any. it is his Latin. From his recitation of History and English they appear as hard to him. But cheer up. Mooney.” for the worst is et to come. You have life before you with its great and many problems. Eula Beatrice Bates: Sighed and looked. and sighed again.” Secretary Clio ’O-TD Class Hiotsrian, 07-08. In Denton schools. 4 years. Voted to be Most dignified.” Now little boys and girls, vou must be as neat as a row of pins and you must remember to make your bows before this most dignified ladv. My. but won’t she be shocked at some of the things she will have to come up against in life. Has the thought ever struck you that she was made to grace the halls and homes of society (not fame)? And furthermore we are expecting her name to shine forth on the columns as one of the leading women of America. Alvin Augustus Kush, '( apt. Bush.”—Pierian. In Denton schools. 4 years. Voted to be most original. Alvin very often produces some ideas that we are quite certain are strictly original. He shrows a very investigative spiiit. especially in Laboratory. He is a very staunch friend of George. He shows this in many ways—especially in petitions and verbal pleas. Grace Adelia Beyett: “Here’s metal most attractive.” Class hditor, 06-07. I . I . Team. '08-W-T0. In Dent n schools 10 years. Voted to be “.Most coquettish.” W e are very indignant to think that in the selection of a picture for the Senior beauty page, the staff very slightingly passed by Miss Grace Adelia Beyett. Even after she had gone to the trouble of having her pictures made over. Grace’s greatest fault is that she takes to fashions more than to books. e are looking forth to a great display during commencement. Some boys have also found her immensely entertaining. Myrtle Cyrena Brown: “’Tis only noble to be good. ’ Secretary of Clio. 07-08; Critic of the Clio. 1(K)7-’U8. Class Editor. 1910. In Denton schools, 11 years. Voted to be “Happiest.” The greatest tribute that could be paid to any member of the class is that one to Myrtle Cyrena Brown: Her purity shines out or her eyes, it lights her face, you see it in her actions, you read it in her spoken thoughts, you recognize it in the very atmosphere which surrounds her.” We are sending her forth to higher places of learning and we expect much from this noble and active-minded girl. Grover Stedman Campbell: “Drome- dary”—Class President 09-TO—Foot ball team XX - 07-’08-’OTTO. In Denton schools 11 years. Voted to be, “Greatest Ladies’ Man.” Some very educated and thoughtful member of our present class displayed his ignorance on local affairs when he suggested that (Trover's name. “The Ladies’ Man.” be given to another member of the class. But here the e.’itor comes to Grover’s rescue with the fact or truth that he has retained and chivalrously held that title for the last four years and we do think it would be a dishonor to take it from him and bestow it upon another, for there is no other in our class capable or worthy of such a title. ■ Edward Owen Cobb : “Sleepy”—Pierian — Baseball team, '07-'08-'09-’10. In Denton schools. 7 years. Voted to be the best athlete. He has been accused of being lazy, but 1 think he is merely indifferent. On the ball ground, he is neither indifferent nor lazy, but gets up and does some good work and often gives his opponent a lively tussle. He also shows advancement in a social line. He is about as competent at breaking hearts as destroying lingers, knuckles and ankles on the ball ground. Bessie Bruce: Her life had many a hope and aim. In Denton schools, 7 years. Voted to be the most intellectual. The greatest abjection to Bessie is that she is always talking and running about. I he class, though, has tested her and found that she serves very well as an encyclopaedia or as a model. W e do not sav that Bessie is a man-hater, although it is certain she has never yet worried her brain over one. Lloyd Russell Harrison: Harry --Pierian—President Dixie. 'Ob- 07—Class Editor. ’07-'08—Editor-in-chief Kronen. 09-’10—Presi dent of Pierian. 09-10. In Denton schools. 11 years. Voted to he most pompons. Possibly some bright and prosperous future is in store for Harry —perhaps that of a statesman or some other worthy calling to be fulfilled. He reads much and then knows what he has read. He is well posted on the past as well as present events. He often furnishes one side of a lively discussion in Literature or History. Mary Lou Ella Fox: They also serve who only stand and wait.” in Denton schools 11 years. Voted to be— Hreatest man hater. Although a small child, it is wonderful how she does so much work. Her future career has been mapped out as that of a country school ma’rm. This change in her life will be begun with the beginning of the next school term. Mary, darling, it is with the greatest pleasure and with kind wishes of success that we send you forth to carry on one of Hod’s noble works—the teaching of the generation that will some day rule America Emma Belle Lipscomb: ‘Impulsive, earnest, prompt to act. Pierian.—Basket Ball team. 06- 07- 08—Captain Basket Ball team, ’OS-W-'IO—Assistant Art Editor of Bronco. 07-‘08- 09-’ 10—C-Sharp Club. In Denton cshools. 11 years. Voted to be the most careless. It was once said that “surely care was an enemy to her life.” She acts on the spur of the moment without considering the cause or consequence. A love of neatness and a fair example. She is always as ready to “make friends as to “break friends.” George Hawkins Goode: “Hiram —Pierian—Art Editor Bronco, ’07- 08, 09-’10—Baseball team, 07- 08. In Denton schools. 10 years Voted to be the greatest bore. Perhaps this decision was somewhat harsh, for we are cjnite sure that George lends to the interest and amusement of the class often times. Me seems to be decidedly averse to answering questions. His answers sometimes imply that lie doesn’t exactly understand what business it is of anyone to know his opinion or knowledge of a subject. He is often very profitable to the class, for he quite frequently tells us something entirely new and astounding in Physics. John Dawson Hauslein: “Shorty.” In Denton schools, 9 years. oted to he “ I he least of all. Member of Gdee Club, 1910. Don’t you think his nick-name is very descriptive and becoming? John's greatest delight is when Laboratory day comes around. He marches into the room, takes the chair at the head of the table, then the instructions begin to fly. You cannot get a single word in edge-wise, nor can vou convince him of any error he may make. We. that is. his Laboratory set. have threatened time and again to ostracise him. We even went so far as to draw straws, the shortest one meaning to go, but as the hates would have it. John drew the longest straw. Areta Frances McCormick: “Children should always be seen but never heard”—Basket Ball Team, 07-08-09-’10—Captain Second Basket Ball Team, ’07- 08. In Denton schools 6 years. Voted to be “Most sympathetic. Although a small member of this class, my but such a VTLL(!) will make up for her stature. Also beware of stepping on her feelings and if you do such an act it will not take you long to find out your mistake, for the wrath of the immortal gods will descend upon your innocent heads. She is also as changeable as the Texas weather. Nor is she consistent. And Emerson says it is a mark of greatness not to be consistent. But above all this, is she not a true and very broad-minded girl? William Irl Hicks: “Cheever.”—“Pier- ian.” In Denton schools. 7 years. Voted to be the greatest ladies’ hater. Have we not all a picture in our minds of Irl standing with both hands jammed far into his pockets, with his head turned to one side, frowning? The frown is only from habit, not a sign of displeasure or of oil humor. Doubtless “Cheever” was once someone’s “bashful beau.” W’e can all vouch for the bashful part, but are doubtful as to his playing the role of a beau. Edwina Gertrude McReynolds: “A beauteous type of that unchanging good”--Pierian—Secretary Dixie, and Class Vice President. (V� -’07—Organis t,’()7-‘08—Assistant Secretary Pierian. Assistant Editor Bronco. O)-’10—President C-Sharp Club. In Denton schools. 11 years. Voted to the most popular. Gertrude is most competent of adapting herself to circumstances. ( n a test day. she comes declaring that she has failed and looking as gloomy as the weather when tin skv is completely hidden bv clouds. In an instant a happy thought strikes her and then a bright smile overspreads her face, just as the sun bursts forth after a storm. She does not take part in athletics: she is only an enthusiast. James Milton Inge: “Fatso”—Pierian— Organist 06-‘07. In Denton schools. 11 years. Voted to he the jolliest. One thing in Jim’s favor is, that he is always ready to laugh when you do and sometimes when you do not. I think the school could not produce a greater tease. Jim has the sympathy of the entire class and faculty concerning the wretched condition of his health. We hope for an immediate recovery after the burden of school duties is removed. Altba A della Owens: “A full, rich na- ture. free to trust”—Pierian—C-Sharp Club— ice President class ’09-‘10. In Denton schools. 11 years. Voted to he hest natured For frankness she can’t he beat. hen she thinks a thing she says it. And along with this she carries a sunny, good-natured disposition. You would think that a person who would express her opinions in such a frank, open way would he minus many friends, hut here is a great exception to this rule for she has her enemies hut her friends greatly outnumber these. Emma Elymus Robinson: 'They laugh that win.” The Senior Beauty. In Denton schools, 9 years. Voted to be The W ittiest.” When did you ever see her but when she was smiling? Did you ever catch her just in tlu- act of performing some prank? Who was it that counted the hairs on Mr. Miller’s bald spot? And was she not the only girl game” enough in the class to have her fortune told in I .aboratory. Xot in all this large class can one be found to equal her in mockery. And as to wit. she can out-wit you any day. But above all others, it is the beauty of her wavy locks, her dark roving eyes, and her lithe form that attract the stranger. Elbert Benjamin Xaugle: “Socialist.” Eicrian. Voted to be Monsieur Know-it-all.” I Mease notice that he is called Socialist, but is not termed sociable. So far he has proved to be sure proof against all darts of Cupid. He still remains perfectly insensible of the many admiring glances of all the girls. The law of attraction does not hold good in the case of eyes, for in this instance brown eyes not only attract blue and grey but also brown. I James Frederick Ravzor: ‘The married man”—Pierian—Class President, '06-’07—President Athenian. '07- 08. Assistant Business Manager. 07-’08—Business Manager Bronco. '09-TO. In Denton schools. 5 years. Voted t«• be the most conceited. When we say he is the most conceited we believe this to be only one phase of his character. A closer insight destroys the true meaning of the word. Fred is prone to jokes and pranks of all kinds. Although he seems very indifferent to the regard of the girls, it is quite evident that nothing pleases him better than to be noticed by one. It is rather difficult to decide where he shows tip best in the athletic grounds or in the social arena. Elizabeth Lauchlan Storrie: “Truthful and almost sternly just.” Pierian. Class Historian ’09-‘10. Basket ball team '08-W. ('-Sharp. In Denton school, 6 years. Voted to be the most industrious. To shorten and lengthen tjie name we call her “Laughing Lizzie.” In her we find a many-sided nature. When a duty is assigned her. she puts her best into it. Lizzie gives us an example of one doing school work, outside work, and home work— and then a few minutes for friends Maude Rachel Zumwalt: She thinks comparisons are odious. Basket Ball learn, '07-08- 09—Secretary of Teams, 00-'10. In Denton schools four years. Voted—“Delights to please the profs.” Here we have a fellow student, who in her High School course has found it more profitable to learn well her lessons first and afterwards finds plenty of time either to entertain or to write to some other girl's big brother. But this is only one of her many virtues and accomplishments. And if you want to sec her at her best, just make your appearance at the Basket Ball grounds when the girls are working out.” Senior Class History “Attention. Fellow Senios. and read here, my pen. following the inclination of n thoughts, records our successful—nay brilliant—Hjigh School career. Me fore our friends can appreciate our high standard, our great merits, and our great importance, a word of our back history would aid them to these conclusions. Needless to say, we passed successfully one examination after another (but not without our teachers threats of failure) until the last day of school of the year nineteen hundred and seven, we left that noble and historic building, the Denton Central School, bearing in our hands our little blue ribboned imitation diplomas. On the following September, never did such a newly-hatched and innocent squad of High Schoolites enter the Freshman class of the I). H. S. We boasted of being the largest freshman class up to that time. !t was this year we chose our fain — motto. “Aut inveniam aut faciam”—If 1 cannot find a way I will make a way”—this translation is for the benefit of the Freshman This • the only important occurrence during the year except that through the jurisdiction of the seniors we passed through a mixture of snubbing and encouraging, which in time developed some very “gamy” characteristics in them. As sophfttores we became more social than any previous class, a condition we still carry with us. When whispers of “a party at--------- tonight.” by hook or crook our lessons were prepared and at the appointed time we appear ed in the “lime-light of society.” having cast off all appearance of school or anything dis agreeable to our enjoyment, and had donned our newest frocks, and our sweetest smiles. In an athletic wav. we produced from our midst, several football and baseball giants. Also our girls showed up well on the basket ball field and displayed a great deal of pent t:p energv (kinetic), which, with a fair amount of consistent practice, would bring out their genius. September ninteen eight, we for a third time, entered ouh much beloved school as Juniors. Recall. Seniors, with what heroic and higher ambitions we began that, our Junior year. We started in with more determination than ever before “simply to make things spin before us.” For two months we made good our boast, but on the eve of the fatal night oi October the sixteenth, nineteen-eight, all our hopes vanished within us. as did our books in the burning our our ancient school building. It was at this period in our history that we took up our life on the third door of the court house. This is also where our troubles began. At that time we were keeping social hours an 1 they did not coincide with school at half-past eight, and later at eight in the morning. Mut how we felt our dignity when the study hall teacher assigned us seats, reserved only for luniors and Seniors! With what a superior and unfaltering gaze, we looked around the hall on our inferiors, the Freshmen and Sophomores. (Apologies, it slipped out.) Again in February came a change in the teachers. The place vacated by one of the pupils’ most staunch friend and teacher, was fileed by a certain individual from a northern school. This new friend thus so suddenly thrust into our midst, at the close of our first lesson, astounded us by assigning for our next lesson a chapter containing thirty-four pages of the mysteries of Mediaeval History. The greatest event that marked our Junior year was the defeat administered by our Mas ket Mall girls to a Normal team. And perhaps you recall, fellow Seniors, the frce-for-all-pitch-in-fight between the male adherents of both teams, which capped the climax of our victory. Our Junior year ended up with this memorial address, made in our presence, bv one of our members, who concluded as follows: “You can’t hide it any longer, students, our teachers know where we were last night, the night before, whom we took to the Normal and when we arrived at home this mom- • _ ff mg. Again at the beginning of our last year, we can boast of being the first Senior class to enter our new building—an honor we can’t keep—and also of being the most equally divided class in the Denton High School history, and perhaps in any other such school. We stand before you today, twenty-nine in num- ber,—fifteen girls and fourteen boys. This year our talents and our thorough training are splendidly and to the best advan tages. displayed in our Literary Societies. I fere some of our speakers could almost be ranked with Cicero. )thers are grea musicians and in time must become famous. It would take an endless space to undertake to enumerate all our claims to greatness. It may he well said here that we have had the pleasure of hearing two famous orations delivered to us by our Latin professor, and we are patiently waiting for the coming of the third. Now being under the instruction of such a highly educated faculty—one from a Missouri Training School, another from the North Texas University, one from Texas Christian University, and lastly, one we can not. nor are we likely to forget, that one from Vanderbilt— I think our future fame is assured. The first of June, nineteen-ten. comes and we carry home with us not a little blue ribboned imitation diploma but the real article itself. It has been a hard and rocky way. nor do we expect our future to be any easier. l� ut we have attained our height in the High School, and now our ambitions beckon us on to higher institutions of learning. And with the blessings of our teachers, the congratulation of our friends, and the encouragement of t:r parents still ringing in our ears, we brave-1 face the foe, determined to win at any cost. Then farewell, farewell, fellow Seniors, and in time may we all return to write upon the pages of time, that we have accomplished our end. Again we bid one another a fond farewell. Historian—’10.

In the center of this wonderfur land is a very high mountain, the Mount of Aspirations. At a distance, it appears exceedingly steep and un-nsurmountable. hut as we draw near, we see that it can be climbed bv four comparatively easy stages. At the foot of the mountain we found faithful guides, our instructors and superintendent, who were willing to help us over all obstacles that confronted us. if we but showed a willingness to help ourselves. At first the journey appeared difficult, beset on all sides by Latin. Algebra. Arithmetic. English and Physiology, but as we pushed forward and upward the path became smoother and more pleasant and as we continued to strive, the path continued to be smooth and pleasant. At this time we were only Freshies. but soon arrived at the second stage of our journey and were Sophomores—the most conceited and egotistical of beings. Our way being partially prepared by our exceptionally fine work as Freshmen, we redoubled our efforts and advanced nearer and nearer the long looked for goal. Some, though, grew wearv and fell by the wayside, but the remainder, strengthened by each achievement, reached the third stage in this mystical land. As Seniors no preceding band of searchers for Knowledge in this land can be compared with us. Still aided by our untiring guides we are overcoming all new dangers and with every upward step are ascending the mountain to the dream goal—the Senior Class.

Don't you worry, we're the stuff, Wle arc the “diamonds in the rough.” Sophomore Class History Our class assumed the dignity of “High School Students in September, l't08. Everything was smooth sailing that year until our ship burned in October. Then, in addition to other calamities, many a Freshy grew C-sick. I)r. Mabel misunderstood their cases in the rough weather which prevailed in the open court house lifeboat, and her prescriptions were often more forced than acceptable. There was a cozy corner opposite the Dr.'s end of the boat, that everybody wanted to sit in ; but in the daily rush to occupy it. the Freshies— too frequently, alas! found themselves in the Captain’s (Mr. Carlisle's) cabin instead— which was almost as cold as his heart. But. because of general ability, the Freshies derived strength from adversity. Considering their many unforseen ordeals, and their frequent sufferings, (endured always in silence and with heroism), it is surprising that so many of the class survived. Surely it was not due alone to the leniency of the Board in excusing them from final examinations. In September. 1909. our Sophomore class left strong but not strong enough. Accordingly’. in private, we took muscle-making exercise and in public provided ourselves with rich nourishing meals, consisting of Algebra. Mediaeval and Modern History. Caesar and German. We are now improving rapidly. The aim of such a diet is to make us ready at anytime for life. That it is already beginning to take effect, was made evident the day that Bryan lectured to us. Our only aim after we left the station that day was to get back to our lessons immediately. (Hard study will attract a Sophomore as surely and quickly as a turkey’ dinner will). But when we reached the school yard, our soles informed us that we needed a little physical culture: so wie took it. White and gold, white and gold, We didn't come in when we were told.” ()ur Sophomore class was distinguished that day. not by the size of soles but by the number and speed in darting from the enemy. The well-fed appearance of our genial Superintendent testifies to his enjoyment of a fish-frv. The shrunken, shriveled, squz-up appearance of the fish in the other classes (never the sole Sophies) might be understood to signify their aversion to the sound of sizzling. Since the Bryan kettle of fish was cooked, few incidents have occurred in our class wor-• hv of note. Wc are silentlv making history that mav some day tell—on us. —Florence Work. SOPHOMORE ESSENCES.

Freshman Class History n the twentieth day of September, nineteen hundred and nine, the present Freshman Class, numbering more than eighty members, began its career in the High School. 1 his career promised to be, and indeed, has been, far more gloriously successful than that of an) preceding class. This is, of course due principally to the superior quality of material i� : our class. Then, too, it is partly due to 11; training which we have received. But in or der that one may appreciate, to the fullest extent, our excellent character and splendid achievements, it will be necessary to review, briefly, the difficulties under which we made our final preparation for the High School. It will be remembered that the school building burned just ts we began our preparatory year for the High School, and our work was contiuueu unucr tnc most adverse circum stances in tUe small rooms of the court house, with no desks, with no rest periods, with one day’s lessons crowded into half a day’s time, and worst of all, without the inspiring ?) presence and kindly (?) admonitions of the High School students. Nevertheless, despite all difficulties, we climbed steadily and surely up the hill of knowledge—as well as up the steep winding stairs of the court house—growing stronger day by day for our future task' in the Freshman Class. And as we walked forth from the old house of justice in May, with those hard-earned certificates of promotion, tied with the blue ribbon of fidelity, we felt that no obstacles could possibly stop our onward progress. Nor were we mistaken in this estimate oi our abilities. We began our Freshman year under the most auspicious circumstances. W e had a handsome new building with pleasant class rooms and all modern conveniences. But that which meant most to us in our new situation, and which is still of the greatest importance, is the fact that we have a study hall, in which the entire High School assembles, and thus we are brought in close contact with our superiors in the world of learning. With the daily and hourly example of the enthusiastic(P) Sophomores. the ambitious(?) Juniors, and the dignified ?) Seniors, what could we do but attain the greatest heights? Accordingly, we have overcome with case all the usual Freshman difficulties. We have successfully defeated the Egyptians in their attempts to gain more territory, captured Xerxes’ immense army, half a million strong, and easily wiped the Grecian and Roman Empires off the map, at tile same time invading the most remote regions of Algebra and completely covering three classics in English. But, notwithstanding our numerous duties, we have had some time to devote to the social and athletic sides of school life. We have in our ranks two foot-ball heroes and several basket-ball heroines. And we can truthfully say that none of the upper classes can boast of better representation on the athletic field than we. Then, on the eleventh day of October, we met and organized the Freshman literary society. Officers were elected, and a program was arranged for the first regular meeting in December. On this occasion, we acquitted ourselves with out usual credit, but it was agreed that if POSSIBLE we should improve at each succeeding meeting. However, before time for another society day, the High School unanimously decided that the three societies should unite and have the meetings in the auditorium. A program was arranged with representatives from each class. The debate with a Junior and a Sophomore versus a Senior and Freshman, was the feature of the occasion. File decision of the judges—given with a grain of salt—was for the Sophomores and Juniors. However, it was in reality a defeat for the | oor Juniors and Sophomores, for they have had the “swell head” so badly ever since that they have been unable to accomplish anything more, while we have arisen from the ashes of apparent defeat to greater things. At any rate, we proved that we had some orators among our number. This little affair was soon forgotten in the busy days that immediately followed, for the mid-term examinations were at hand. Oh, dread occasion, even to the brightest of Freshmen ! ! But that crisis was also safely passed, with only a few unfortunates left by the way-side. After the examinations, there was a large addition to the Freshman Class, as there were mid-year promotions. It has been our pride and pleasure to give them the benefit of our riper experience and superior attainments, and to guide them safely around the pitfalls spread in the pathway of unwary Freshmen. Soon the time will pass: soon the school year wib draw to its close: soon we shall lay aside our Freshman garments and don the mantles of Sophomores. Royally shall we wear them, showing to the entire school and world the manner in which Sophomores SHOCK I) conduct themselves. Rut at the same time we shall proudly point back to an unblemished Freshman record, the best ever made in the history of the Denton High School. Minnie Lee Borden. Historian. Freshmen Class Poem Here’s tu the Freshmen of 1909, Who are so strong and sturdy and fine, 1 he best of students—well, 1 guess; We are the pride of the U. li. S. hen it comes to Latin, we are a sight, So cunning, so clever, so active and bright. W e never disturb Mr. Miller a bit, Rut we fold our arms and upright sit. Now, in Ancient History, we re right there on time, To pronounce about fifty big words on a line. We study it real hard, though, and sometimes we drill To avoid a recommendation ot the “office pill.” Miss Higgins says, “In English you never fail, Rut over the pages you smoothly sail; And into your brainy heads, the knowledge runs fast. So unlike the Sophies, whose knowledge won’t last.” In Algebra, my goodness! we’re a sight to behold; How we turn around letters and problems unfold. And at the end of the year, when we all feel quite glad, Miss Pritchett will say, “Oh, this is so sad.” —Lutic Craddock. Freshman. Freshman Class Roll VERNELLE ALLISON— Her face is like an angel’s.

Fred lia.vzoi—Captain Uaseball Team IlUO Football At the beginning of the season, prospects for a football team were not as promising as those of the last season. The team was crippled on accountof losing five good men. Carr. Ilrown. T. Rector. Captain Harris, and Fur-gerson. Three of these men were from the hack field, ami men we have depended upon for three years. They have captured many scalps for the Denton High School team! The great team of 1‘108-09. which wv� n the championship of N'orth Texas, played several games and defeated her opponents 98 to 0. Football practice began the twenty-fourth day of September with a squad of about twenty-five, including seven old men from last year's team and several promising young stars. Y. Collins. Young. Francis. McMath. Lane, and Big Rube Reese. The line-up was arranged as soon as possible in order that the team might have three weeks' practice before playing their first game with McKinney. This game resulted in a victory for I). H. S. Although the score was 10-0, it was a verj poor game. But as it was the first game of the season, very little was expected from the team. The next game was with Sherman Huskies on the D. H. S. ground. Neither team could score. Both teams did a great deal of kicking and towards the last Splinter Collins out booted Cushman time and again. Fowler was also a star in the game. The third game was with Fort Worth High at Fort Worth. D. H. S. lost this game by very hard luck, the score being 5-0 in favor of Fort Worth. Both teams played poorly Walton for Fort Worth, and Young and Reese for Denton, were the star players. Splinter wore his punting hoot which was a great help to Denton High. Losing this game did not discourage the team, but made them determined to get revenge or die. The team was worked hard the next week preparing for the game with Sherman High at Sherman. This time red and white were against red and white, both teams being determined not to let their colors be trailed in the dust. This was one of the greatest games that was ever fought over a High School grid- iron. Baseball made a touchdown, but Captain Cregg also made a touchdown for Sherman. Both teams failed to kick goal, making the second tie with the Red and White Huskies. The next game was with Cleburne. The team had several crippled men. Splinter Collins was unable to use his lengthy punts on account of his numerous bandages. But in spite of these hardships, the team played a good game, hut so many costly fumbles kept D. H. S. from winning, the score being 0-0. This being the third tie. the D. H. S. Huskies came home determined to win the remaining games. The team, being worked hard, under Coach McIntosh, showed a great improvement, and was in good condition for the coming game with Cleburne. This game was played in a sheet of water. However, this didn't seem to bother the D. H. S. team, for they played well in a lake of water as they did on a dry field. They scored sixteen | oints before a number of the C. H. R. players could get Captain Wilson to stop the game on account of the disagreeable weather. The next game was with Fort Worth on the D. H. R. grounds. In this game, the D. H. R. must have revenge. The purple and white line was broken twice, which gave the D. H. R. team two touchdowns. Splinter Collins missed both goals the score being 10-0 in favor of D. If. R. The touchdowns were made | v Fowler and Rector. The features were the work of Collins in minting and Rube Reese, Rector. Buckingham and Young. The last game on Denton High grounds was with Bonham High. The teams were emiallv matched in weight. Tn the first half. D. H. R. made a number of costlv fumbles, which fact enabled Bonham to count three noints hv kicking field goal. The R. H. S. Huskies took the lead, but the D. H. R. eleven nlaved agressivelv and counted touchdowns and safety in the second half. The tandem bucks with Paschall carrying the ball were not to be denied. The formation ripped through Bonham’s heaw line for a touchdown. Collins missed a difficult goal, making the score 7-13 in favor of D. H. S. This game closed the season. The Denton Highs are looking forward to the future team of 1910. Cobb, Campbell and Rayzor will he greatly missed next season. Last Season's Baseball Team The team of 1909 made a splendid record, winning the championship of N'orth Texas for Denton High School. Six victories and no defeats tell the tale. Fort Worth High. Decatur. Cleburne (two games), Gainesville, and Ennis were vanquished in regular order. By defeating Ennis, who was claiming the championship of North Texas, D. H. S. established her superior claim to that honor. This year’s team will feel the absence of three stars from last year’s team: Rector, Brown and Harris, who are this year winning their spurs on the University diamond. All the other old men are on hand and a number of new men are showing tip well. The crack of the hat and the lusty yell may already be heard in old I). A. C. park. Everything seems to indicate that the team of 1910 will prove itself a worthy successor to that of 1909. The Turning Point. By Frederick Rayzor. It was on the fourteenth day Of the month of Christ's birthday, When the students, filled with glee, Went the depot Bryan to see. When he came, they felt so gay Thought they’d not return to school that day. Forming hundred twenty strong. Marched around the school-house lawn. Principal came out and said They had better inward tread. But the foolish boys headlong. Then led on the gay and hearty throng. Having gone around it twice, Followed they I-ogan’s advice And the leaders inward turned While their hearts did fairly burn. Teachers marked those coming late, Told them then of their sad. weary fate. Next day when the school began Innocents were told to stand. Marched they then to different rooms While the guilty thought of dooms Which most likely would befall Those who did not come when at first called. Sup’rintendent then began, “Now suspension is my plan. But he did not long stay mad For the students looked so sad That his anger did abate. As a schoolboy he had oft been late. Then he said, If you'll be good. Bind yourselves now as you should. I'll forgive you every one. Ne'er again was this thing done, Turned we from our way so bad, And our efforts made the teachers glad! BASKET BALL The Basket Ball Team of 1910 was not quite as successful as the team of 1909,on account of the loss of seveal players from the previous team. The 1910 team was organized the latter part of September, with Emma Belle Lipscomb. captain, Maude Zumwalt, secretary and treasurer, and Mr. McFadden, coach. 1'he first game was with Pilot Point team, at Pilot Point. Here we scored a big hit, resulting in a score of 19 to 6. The next game was to have been with Cleburne High School here, but owing to the rain, it was postponed and will he accepted later. The 1909 team was the best the D. H. S. has ever had so far. for that year six games were played, and we lost only two of them. The first of the series of games was with a team of X. T. S. X.. Highland Lassies. This team was much stronger than the I). H. S. team, and had practiced much longer, and the result was 9 to 6 in favor of the Highland Lassies. The next was with the C. I. A. College team, and here the I). H. S. suffered another defeat. There was no comparison in the two teams, according to strength, for the College team was chosen from four of the best teams at the College, while the D. H. S. had only her twelve to select from. The score was 13 to 3 in favor of the C. I. A. At this time the D. H. S. had an opportunity for getting revenge on the Highland Lassies, which they did in more than one way. the result being 11-6 in favor of the D. H. S. But it was with Cleburne that the 1). H. S. did her best playing. The game was here and ended in a score of 25-16. Xext the D. H. S. went to Cleburne, and after a very difficult game, won from them with a score of 21-20. in which Edith Lacy, Elizabeth Storrie and Emma Belle Lipscomb starred. The last game was with the Southland University, and here the D. H. S. carried off another victory, the score being 29-4. On account of hot weather, the team was disbanded for the time. There are prospects for another such team in 1911. but Emma Belle Lipscomb. Bessie and Altha Ball, and Maude Zumwalt will be missed in the coming team. Gertrude M('Reynolds, Pres. ('-Sharp Club Bessie Ball, Secretary C-Sharp Club Music Clubs In the progress of the different departments of our High School, there has been up until this year, a general neglect of one.— namely, the musical department. Never be-fore has there been, as in most schools, a glee club or orchestra of any kind. Hut now. within the last few months, there have been established two musical organizations of which any High School might be justly proud. Their development, under the hampered conditions, has been remarkable, until we now have two well-trained and organized clubs—The Hoys’ Glee Club, and The C-Sharp Club. Besides these two larger clubs there have sprung up the Boys Octette and the Mixed Octette, both of which have been, on different occasions, highly successful in pleasing large audiences. The C-Sharp Club, with Miss McReynolds as president. Miss Bessie I .all as secretary, and Miss Elise McCormick as pianist, has ! een under the supervision of Miss Higgins, whose diligent training has raised it to its present standard. Prophecies of future growth, both in numbers and ability, are not amiss, for in whatever field the students of the Denton High School enter, it is not with a feeling of hesitancy and doubt as to their capabilities, but with a determination to excel or at least raise the standard of their predecessors. .VOTE -The picture of the C-Sharp Club was accidentally omitted.

How many a busy and happy hour has been spent within its old walls, and how many a merry laugh has echoed through its old corridors ! But we have still the same old campus, dotted here and there by its large oaks that perhaps many a secret could tell did its leaves but have utterance—many a wrong disclose, narrated by the students as they gathered under the welcome shade. While our old building is associated with many pleasant incidents and had served well its time, yet we have in its stead this large and commodious building, the pride of each and every student—a building dedicated to our great hero. Robert E. Lee, and equipped with all the conveniences art has to offer. In many a place in the old building, on the desks, floors, and elsewhere, have we carv- ed our initials. But in this new building, let us resolve that henceforth we shall be remembered, not from any marks made in an ill moment, but by duty so well performed, by tasks so thoroughly completed that in time to come, other students may voice our praise and be led to follow in our paths. As our predecessors have finished the course and have gone forth in lifc.l caving behind them imprints that will not be effaced by time, and winning for themselves, honors that are a matter of pride to our old Denton High School, let us resolve that when our time has come to leave, when we have finished the prescribed course, we will go forth determined to follow where duty calls, to receive with a laugh the knocks of the world, and—to remember with pleasure the happy days spent in the old D. H. S. —Chas. Francis. THE TENDERF001 A few days after Crraydon had returned from college, his father returned from a trip to Texas. He brought the news that his friend wanted him let Gravdon come down and spend his summer vacation: and Gravdon, knowing what a pretty daughter his father’s friend had. persuaded his father to let him go. Gravdon was a young man of great physical strength as well as mental. He had won the honors of his class and was beloved by his classmates. He had also gained great prominence on the athletic field. At football, baseball, boxing, and horseback riding, his superior could hardly be found. He was as popular in his home town as he was at college. Therefore, he disappointed his many friends, who had been including him in their plans for the summer, when, upon the appointed day, accompanied bv his father, he t x� k leave bv rail for the ranch. The ranch was situated in the cattle raising part of the Lone Star state, and was the largest in that part of the country. Its grass fattened several thousand head of cattle every year for market. Therefore it was necessary to keep a great many cow-punchers, as they were called. Every ranch has its leader, usually selected on account of some great feat of strength which he had performed. The leader of this ranch was a man named “Fighting Fete.” It was said that there was not a man in the whole country aroundd who could make him hollow Xuff.” He was also known as a great rider. The boys brought horses from many miles around just to see Fete ride them. He was never known to have been thrown. He was naturally the leader of the other boys. henever a dispute arose, one would say that Fete said so; and that was the end of the discussion. Ileing leader, Fete usually had the honor of riding beside Miss Randolph, the beautiful daughter of the owner of the Lazy '1'. when she went with them on round-ups. It gencrallv fell to his lot to escort her to dances or other entertainments, all the others being almost afraid to look at her on account of what would happen when Fete found it out. In fact, he was deeply in love with her and would have asked for her hand in marriage if he had had anything to offer in return. He had nothing now. and at the low wages of a cow-puncher he wouldn't have anything soon. Such was the condition on the Lazy T. when one morning as all the boys were standing in front of the church house, talking, the carriage drove up to the big house. ( n the front seat was .Mr. Randolph and a new man, while the back seat was occupied by a handsome young man and Miss Randolph. Fete stood aghast while the others looked at each other meaningly. Fete saw how gracefully he helped her from the carriage and up the steps of the house. The others began laughing and winking at each other, but when Fete turned toward them, they all put on a look of the gravest kind. Fete never said a word but walked away to his room with clinched fists and lowered head. They knew what he was thinking about. They knew what the young good-looker and green-horn” would get the first chance Fete got at him. Everything went on quietly for some some time, no one saying anything but everyone noticing that Miss Randolph seemed to have lost all interest in Fete, and to have transferred it all to Graydon. It was he who accompanied her to dances and, with his graceful dancing, won the admiration of all the ladies present. All this added fuel to the jealous hatred which burned in breasts of the cow boys and especially of Fete. They all consoled one another by saying that Fete would get him. and looked forwa d to the fight as a great event The destined fight had been fought over in everyone of their minds and no one considered that the Greener” would last over two minutes after Fete got hold of him. They forgot to take into consideration where the greener” had come from, or what he had learned there. ()ne day the Freener” went with them after some cattle. They had to pass another ranch house on the way and this was Pete’s chance. He wanted to make a big show of the matter, so when Graydon arrived, Pete came dircctlv up to him and in a few words gave him to understand that he had to fight, and whv he had to fight. Graydon would have declined but was forced tin. Pete was just a little ashamed to fight such a young lad, and thought he would leave it with the “Greener” as to how they should fight. When Graydon, recalling Ins college days, said he would fist-fight it out, a broad smile came on Pete s face, for that v ;is the way he had won his name. The fight was to be of one round and that mund was to last until one holloed enough. At the signal, they went together. It was a wild fight. Nothing could be seen of them for some time but fists. Pete, with both arms spread as to fly, charged time and again, but couldn't get in even one effective blow, while the “Greener” put in one after another, bringing blood every lick. The crowd was amazed to see how cool and straight the “Greener deliver ed his blows. He did it as nicely as he danced. He marched around Pete and, when he found the sjxit he was looking for. let one blow after another fall without mercy. Time and again he sent Pete sprawling in the dust. Pete picked himself up. half dazed, and staggered on only to meet another stunning blow full in the face. Even then, though his eyes began to fail him and he could hardly see, his wolfish instinct, which told him never to give up, urged him on to the fight. His face . was a heap of blood and dust. Then there came the finishing blow, and with everything whirling about him, he went to the ground with a jar. This time he was not able to move, but lay still in the dust. They all knew that he had enough but was unable to say it. They picked him up and carried him into the house, while Graydon stood there just a little flushed as if he had been doing a little gymnasium work. He had fought what th spectators called a hard fight, but to him it was no more than a good work-out with the fists. After they carried Pete into the house, he walked over and picked up his coat and brushed it off and put it on. The bunch (and it had grown considerably, every work hand around the place and even the dogs being there by this time) could not but admire the coolness and self control of the stranger and after hesitating for a bit, came forward and shook hands with him, and told him that he was the best and coolest fighter they had ever seen, and that Pete would have to surrender his previous lv undisputed claim to the championship. About three weeks later, the boys were all dressed out in their Sunday boots and spurs and were standing around the church house, having a general good time, when Pete rode up to them. They all ran to greet him, for this was the first time he had been out since the fight. However, ti was not the greeting to which he was accustomed. They did not look up to him as they had done before, though they knew that lie was able to show himself a master of any of them yet. He asked why they were all dressed up in their Sunday clothes, for he knew that it was only upon rare occasions that they were dressed up. When they broke the news to him, telling him how Graydon and Miss Randolph had been married at the little church that morning and how all the boys had put on their good clothes and attended the wedding. Pete looked a little worried at first, but presently a pleasant smile came over his face. About this time Graydon appeared around the corner and had begun talking to the boys before he noticed Pete. Upon seeing him. he hesitated in his conversation and seemed somewhat embarrassed for he didn't know how Pete was feeling toward him. As soon as Pete saw him. he came forward with outstretched hand, which Graydon grasped warmly. (but was warned not to grasp too warmly on account of some broken bones which were not yet firmly knitted together). Then Pete, in the presence of all the bovs. told Graydon that he had won her fairly and was welcome to her. and all he asked of him was that he teach him that fatal left and right punch to the chin and face, so that when he fought for another girl he might have some chance to win. —Grover Campbell. There was a young boy named Jerry. Who, in class, was too merry: He always did hate To be on debate. This handsome young man named Jerrv. My Diary Sept. 20—Well. I am fairly started to school once more. This morning’ as F went through the hall looking for the geometry room. I saw two girls looking at me and one of them said. “She must be a Freshie; she looks so green.” Then they both giggled and walked away in the opposite direction. Sept. 24—I am getting better acquainted now and think I shall like things better when I get used to them. There was a party near here last night and all of us went. Everything was all right, except that silly couple they sav is engaged. Anyone would know they were. I hope T shall never be engaged if I have to act so silly as that. Sept. 29—()h, my! It is so very warm hcrc. I hate to have to study. I just want to lie and sleep. (Vt. 13.—Soneonchad a spread last night. Strange no one knew anything about it this morning when the landlady asked about it. But somehow I forgot what happened last night. Oct. 29—Oh. goodness! I do hope I shall never have to go bug hunting again. When I went last Thursday. I was going along humming a little tune, looking for a bug—I just lacked one—when suddenlv I saw a beautiful one and. springing forward to capture it. I lost mv balance and fell head-first into a patch of green-briers. While I was trying to get up. I heard a cow bellowing (Oh! how I hate a cow!) and scrambling to my feet. I saw her coming towards me. T started to climb through a fence near by. and T got tangled up and could not get away. Just as T felt sure she would get me in another second, and as T was praying for strength. I heard a voice saving. “You seem to be tangled up. Tf you will be still for a moment T will help you out.” and looking tip. T saw that Mr. Winfield whom T disliked so much because he seemed stuck-up and dignified. Rut really he is not: he is very nice. Oct. 31—Mr. Winfield has been verv nice to me since the bug episode. He hasn’t told a soul. Dec. 10—My! but that English teacher certainly did look horrified when T said. •That’s all there are to it,” this morning, ana actually asked me what country school I came from. That made me mad. and I said, ”W ell. i guess that’s as correct as saying. ‘You've got for to do it,' ” and he looked daggers at me and said. “Let the lesson proceed.” Dec. 19—Mr. Winfield asked if he might take me to hear Fanny Kendall play tonight, but. on account of a bad cold. I could not go. After the rest had gone. I went in the parlor, thinking what long, lonesome evening F should have. I began playing “Home Sweet Home. “Swanee River and cither old songs, when I heard some one say. “Why, really 1 did not know you could play.” Turning. I saw Mr. Winfield. He said he had lieard Mrs. Kendall several times before and as I could not go. he did not care to. We talked until the partv returned. Really, I did not know the evenings were so short. Dec. 23—I am going home , this evening y«• spend the holidays. Oh! I almost forgot to sav that Mr. Winfield is going home my wav and F shall not have to travel alone. Fan. 8—Rack at school again. Such a rrood time as F did have going home and after 1 got there. All the bovs and girls met me at the train. We certainly did have one more good time, and such nice things to eat. Really F think folks must dislike me at home, judging fro mthc way they tried to kill me by overfeeding me. but TT1 live over it. Jan. 12—I forgot to say when Fast F wrote that strange as it may seem. Mr. Winfield came back on the same train F did. Isn’t it strange how things will occur? Jan. 21—It has been snowing and is very cold. We went skating and had such a jolly time until May Rogers broke through the ice: then we had to hurry home to keep her from freezing. Owing to Mr. Winfield’s presence of mind, she suffered no bad effects, save a severe cold. Isn’t it grand to know a man so thoughtful ? Feb. 3—We are making preparations for celebrating Washington’s birthday. Feb. 5—Oh. dear! T am so blue. T think I shall give up and go home: I can’t study. I saw Mr. Winfield in the hall this morning talking to Jenny Graham. He was so much interested he did not see me. I don’t care, I can't help but be blue—although that has nothing to do with it. Pcb. 7—I saw Mr. Winfield yesterday and lc said, “What’s the matter, little girl; you don’t look well: are you lil?” I meant to look unconcerned and answer him coldly, but lie looked at me so strangely my face grew as red as a beet, and I stammered out something. Me looked at me closely and said. “Cousin Jennv is going home tonight; won’t you go with us to the train?” I surely felt mean. Feb. 10—I was over in town last night lated than I thought I should be. As I was hurrying across the river. I saw a beautiful flower growing by the water’s edge. Thinking how nice it would be for one of the girls, who was ill. I laid down my parcels and proceeded to go after it. when suddenly my foot slipped, and in I went. Fortunately, the water was not more than three feet deep there, and although I was very much frightened. 1 scrambled up the bank, panting like a lizard, I was so frightened, f hastened along as fast as I could in my wet clothes. W hen 1 was almost home, I met Mr. Winfield, who. on being told where I was. grew uneasy and started to meet me. I told him of my accident. He took my parcels and looked as serious as though he had lost something. I am considered a “nine days’ wonder” and a great heroine. Feb. 25—We had such a splendid time Washington’s birthday. Feb. 28—Nothing happened worth writing about. March -1—The wind is blowing at a four-forty gait. We surely are working hard. March 10—Mr. W infield and I are the greatest chums, but nothing more, as some of the girls seem to think. Me would not fancy such a little silly as I am. Rut I—I think he is very handsome. March 17.—Had a letter from home today. Mv little dog is so cute. They are teaching him to play dead, stand up and beg. and bark when my name is called. T do so hope he will not forget me while I am away. March 20—Oh! Madge is coming to see me next week. March 29—I have had such a delightful time with Madge. I feel very blue since she left. Later-—Mr. Winfield came over and took me for a walk this evening (fearing I might be a little lonely since Madge left). I feel wonderfully bright since 1 went. I think I shall walk every day. April 3—Walking alone is not nice. 1 walked for half an hour along the dullest road I ever saw. They call it “Lovers’ Lane;” but 1 can’t see why, 1 guess I shan’t walk any more,—at least not for a while. April 10—Mr. Winfield has gone home to be gone until Monday. Oh, dear! I believe I am sick. I wonder if I am going to die? I hope they will bury me under the old cedar tree if 1 do. Maybe 1 won’t. April 14—I feel so much better now than I did when I wrote last. Winfield came back yesterday and brought me a box of beautiful flowers. W asn’t it kind of him? April 18.—Had a box of fruit from Cousin Horace, and also a letter from Madge today. April 23—Jack (that’s Mr. Winfield— wonder what he would think if he knew 1 called him that?) and I went walking today. I wonder what caused such a change? April 30—I played tennis a long time this evening. Jack says I must play every evening; it makes me look so fresh and pretty. I accidentally called him Jack the other day and he insists upon my calling him so all the time. May 5—1 haven’t time to write much as I am going to the opera with Jack to see the “Tragedy of Macbeth, which is to be played for the college students. May 12—I am so busy studying 1 have no time to write. May 19—Jack sent me such a lovely box of “Dolly Yarden” chocolates because I was ill yesterday. Oh! if there is one thing T love more than another it is “Dolly Varden” chocolates. May 25—T am cramming for exams. Jack says I must not sit up too late. He is very thought fill of me. I wonder if he means anything by it. May 29—Exams are over, and T surely am glad. Now for the fun! May 31—Last evening about dusk. T went over ta the college for a book 1 ha 1 left on the window ledge. As T was running across the campus, singing “Oh! For the Wings of an ngel.” T suddenly stepped into a hole and was thrown violently forward. T felt a severe pain in my ankle, and T think T must have screamed a little, for in a moment Tack was bending over me. saying things to me that made my brain whirl, and caused me to forget about my ankle. W'liat he said is a secret, bn1 I said Yes. June 2—I am going home tomorrow. I certainly hate to leave this dear old school where I have spent so many happy hours. June 12—Madge will be here about the fifteenth, and so will Mr. Winfield. —Altha Ball. Geo. Goode and Alvin Bush's Reason 1 cannot study in the schoolioom, 'Tis useless indeed to try. For the noise, the fuss and the worry Quite distract from my work, my eye. So when can I work indeed, 1 know not. truth to say. But a suggestion, unasked for, comes: After school, why not study away? But I cannot study in the evening. The thought of the OTHERS up town. Talking of football and baseball. All thoughts of my lesson drown. But again a suggestion I hear, Though unwilling 1 list 'tis true. But to this advice 1 give heed, As it seems no other will do. Study away in the night-time, When all is silent and still. But then least of all can 1 study For the loneilness all my thoughts fill. So who could blame a poor student If elements against him array, Seeking to drive him to leisure. So what can I do but obey? So e’er have I rested and rested And believe it's a plan that is best. -So I shall e’er make it my duty To sec that I alwavs shall rest. ' —C. F. Her Preference “Well, there ye are Priscilla, and bless my eyes, if ye ain’t as pretty as ever! said Mrs. O’Brien as she moved over in the buggy to make room for her old friend woh had been off teaching school and was just returning. “And how are you, Mrs. O’Brien?—hut 1 need not ask; I see you are as healthy as ever.” “Yes. child, 1 am. But come along and climb into this here buggy.” “Isn’t there some danger in driving that horse? He looks rather mean to me.” said Miss Priscilla, as she critically eyed the lazy old farm horse. “Not the least in the world, darlin’ ”— and so being reassured Pricilla got into the buggy, and with a few prods, Mrs. O’Brien managed to start Xehemiah. who got into motion like a rusty old machine. “1 do believe. Pricilla. that ye are the fearest person of horses I ever seen—ever since that old horse run away with vou and Silas Morten the time he was a-courtin ye, and let the lines drop.” “Now, Mrs. O’Brien, you know yourself there ain’t a word of truth in that. Silas never did really make love to me.” “Well, I do recollect as how it always' did appear to me that ye rather liked that smart young drug clerk. Mr. Spruce. But Silas, ’peared to me. did make eyes at ye. Pricilla. and I believe to mv soul that it would of been a match if ye hadn’t ’er gotten mad at him for jumping out of the buggy when the old horse ran away.” “But I didn’t’ get mad at that.” said Pricilla. turning very red. “Well, it always did seem strange to me that a plain old woman like me should get a man. and a pretty woman like ye not.” “But indeed it isn’t because I have not had”—but about this time a large red auto came around the curve at a rather lively pace, with its horn screeching w'arning to all comers. Xehemiah looked up and every indication of old age disappeared; every vestige of lazi- ness dropped off. He appeared as if set back by time twenty years, tranformed into a three-year-old colt. He first shied to one side, and then backed down into the ditch. Mrs. O’Brien, waving her hands in a vain endeavor to stop the automobile, dropped the lines. The auto came to a halt a few' feet away, ami the passengers jumped out to lend assistance. But by this time Xehemiah had |iiite recovered from his first scare, and leaping forward, threw out of the buggy. Mrs. O’Brien, who was leaning over the dashboard trying in vain to reach her reins. She was hurled gracefully into space and landed right side tip. none the worse for the fall. But all that could be seen of the horse and buggy was a cloud of dust fast disappearing down the turnpike. Pricilla clung to the seat with both hands. Her hat w as lost, yet she sat still with her eyes tightly closed—fearing to meet death otherwise. for she thought that it was inevitable, )n the horse went, with ever increasing speed, the buggy careening from side to side. He passed over the last hill and started down the one street of the little village. Suddenly Pricilla became aw are of a slack in the speed of the horse and of a warning cry. Thinking that the end had come, she suddenly fainted and wdien she again consented to open her eyes, she found herself lying on the counter of a small grocery store —and above all. to her amazement, standing directly over her. one whom she had not seen for years. “Silas!” “Pricilla-er-a-runaways seem to be kinder in fashion for me and you. don’t they?” “Why. vcs.-T—it seems so. Silas.” “Well, don’t you think. Pricilla. since they seem to be so much in fashion we might make a run-away marriage of it?” “Xo. T think not. Silas,—I—T rcallv prefer a church wedding.” Chas. Francis. An Extraordinary Dream One night after all the mid-term examinations were over, I had the queerest dream. I had made a practice, for several weeks beforehand, of burning the midnight oil and cramming, cramming—yes, cramming, stuffing. jamming—much forgotten lore of Caesar, history, algebra and rhetoric; so I guess this accounted for my dream. I came in after supper, tired but happy because there were no more exams for four and a half months—enough make anyone happy—and tried to study. First, I attempted to work algebra, but the figures absolutely refused to twist themselves into the form of Mr. Went worth's answer: so I gave this up in disgust. Next I started on my history, but. as that was unusually long and hard, before I had read half through, I could not even tell where the lesson began and whether we were studying the mediaeval or modern age. According-Iv. I resolved to put off the history evil until the morrow. Then Caesar was tried in vain. (Oh. why did Caesar or I ever try to write anything?) I realized the fact that I at least was no born Macaulay when I attempted a paragraph in rhetoric. I was, by this time, so thoroughly disgusted with everybody and everything that I laid my head down on my table and endeavored to realize how really stupid it was of anyone ever to try to learn algebra, history, rhetoric and Caesar. While trying to reason out this puzzling problem. I must have fallen asleep, for I saw the pleasantest looking man 1 could imagine step out of my horribly mutilated algebra. He introduced himself as Mir. Wentworth. At the mention of his name I almost gasped, for I had never imagined the man who wrote Wentworth’s Elementary Algebra could possibly be pleasant looking, to say the least. He asked what I had been looking so sour about a few minutes before. I told him because I could not get one single problem in the next day’s lesson. Then he sat down and worked them all out so quickly and accurately that I was ashamed of the many times I had accused him of fudging” to get the answer. He then vanished as suddenly as he had appeared. Before he had more than got out of sight, I heard a tramping as of many feet, and looking up, beheld Charlemagne, Joan of Arc, Dante. Petrarch, Columbus, and dozens of others whose pictures I had seen in Myer’s Mediaeval and Modern History. Charlemagne explained how he had ruled over and fought for France in the eighth century. Gentle Joan of Arc told of all her visions. Dante and Petrarch expounded their views on the subject of Humanism. Columbus told how he had braved the terrors of the unknown sea to find a water route to India. The others, in turn, related the problems they had solved fot the present generation—but as I had always thought for the extreme delight of the present Sophomore Class. Fre the footsteps of my history acquaintances had died away, I, looking up, saw Caesar gazing down upon me so fiercely that I wondered if, by any chance, he had overheard a very uncomplimentary remark I had made, confidentially of course, to several of the girls a few days before, concerning his hroniclcs of the Gallic War.” 1 resolved to see how a smile would affect him. It worked admirably. He began to look really pleasant and asked me if I enjoyed reading his works. ()f course I said Yes. indeed!” Then he showed me how lie used to read Latin when he was a boy. He read chapter after chapter, which took ages for me to read, with such ease that I positively envied him. When at last he rose from his seat, I was sorry because I was enjoying it—and also profiting by it. Before the echoes of his deep cavernous voice had ceased ringing in my ears, a man. whom I knew to be a writer by his looks, appeared. He said his name was Thomas Babbington Macaulay and asked if it were paragraph writing which was worrying me. If so he could very easily “give me a lift” in this direction. I eagerly assented, and he sat down and dashed off a paragraph in which I recognized the style of the writer whose paragraphs our rhetoric teacher constantly holds up before us as a model for Sophomore para- graphs. Then Mr. Macaulay made his departure. I was so delighted with the realization that I hal all iny lessons for the next day that I could not refrain from giving, not exactlv a class yell, but one equally as noisy. Mam- ma, hearing “the sound of revelry by night” and knowing no studying was going on, cantc to the door of my room and waked me to the realization that 1 had not only been dreaming, but that I had no lessons for the next day. —Carrie Tanner, Sophomore. The Wreck of a Junior B. It was a pupil of Junior B That sailed into History class; And she bad taken all of her knowledge In exams to help her pass.

The while he looked about— I pray thee, have ready thy tablets and pens, And I'll give the first questions out.” ) ! ! The question came with a thund’ring boom To the Junior in her strength; And it sounded like to the knell of doom— Her peace had reached its length. “And is there no pity for me?” she cried; That question doth cause me ta quake— I thought 1 could pass the hardest exam That ever a mortal could make.” Then the Junior invoked the saint of exams. That spared she might be; But ’Twould be in vain, for thy teacher cruel Is immovable,” said he. And ever the fitful moments between A sound broke from the class; It was the sound of a sighing wail— (), how can I ever pass?” N’ext day with black fear gripping her hard And with steps that were lagging and slow. The Junior came into History class, And her heart was filled with woe. For a shape there rose before her eyes Most horrible to see— O, could it be?—alas, it WAS, A great big. awful D. Such was the wreck of a Junior B, And may she never see Another exam as hard as that When she got that awful D. —E. J. A.—’ll. A Seniors Dream As nearly as I can remember, it w'as sometime near 11:20. I remember distinctly having studied at all the assigned tasks for the next day, and having again taken up that dread physics—as it was to be the first thing on the program. I had been reading for some time when I must have fallen asleep, for all thoughts of physics seemed to be gradually vanishing and I suddenly found myself in a public theatre. There was an immense crowd already gathered. who seemed to he impatiently awaiting something. I was looking around, taking in things in general when, all at once, everyone quieted down and looked eagerly toward the front. Just as I turned to see what the attraction was, I heard in a distinct, clear voice, these familiar wards— “Quam quam mihi semper frequeus conspectus vestcr multo jucundissi-mus, etc. Something strangely familiar about the words caused me to scrutinize the speaker carefully, and whom did I recognize hut our old friend, Cicero, in the very act of laying before the people, the great Manilian Law? He so eloquently stated his arguments that, when he finished, almost everyone seemed to agree with him that Pompey was the man for the place, and that immediate action should he taken. The discussion that followed Cicero’s speech was stopped by the raising of the curtain. which disclosed James Watt vigorously polishing his newly completed steam engine When this w'as done to his satisfaction, he opened the furnace and began shoveling coal into it from a square box. The coal was in large regular lumps in the shape of pyramids, prisms, cubes, octahedrons, and the last lump was especially large, and 1 declare it looked as much like Dr. Halstead's famous prismatoid as anything possibly could. While the fire was heating up. he explained, as much as possible. the action of this great contrivance. By the time his explanation was completed, everything was in working order. Then to prove his success, he opened the valve admitting the steam to the cylinder just as the curtain was being lowered, the engine moved off. This scene was followed by much con- ersation which w’as presently checked bv the appearance of Shakespeare in front of the curtain. announcing that the next scene closed the program for the night. The last scene opened, showing a very irregular section of land. In a moment with a ! reat shout, the space was quicklv filled bv two determined forces—the Mexicans. led bv Santa Anna: and our own countrvmen. led bv General Taylor. With a terrible noise, the fihting began—the most horrible spectacle vet. The next thing T remembered was having roused evervbodv in the house bv jumping out of my chair and screaming at the top of my voice. This dream well illustrates the burdened condition of the mind of the Senior of nineteen and ten. —Myrtle Brown. A LETTER FROM A HIGH SCHOOL MOUSE My Dear Graycoat: As misfortunes have surrounded me, I can no longer be a I). H. S. mouse and will therefore come to the country to spend the remainder of my life. It will, of course, be a pleasure to he with you. but O! how I regret giving up my city life. I must now tell you how I came to be so unfortunate. I well remember my mother's pleadings with my two older brothers and myself about venturing out and exploring—for our home was directly behind Mr. Carlisle’s desk. One sad day mother went to get some crumbs which the school children had thrown away and like all boys we three planned to go and take just one peep at the superintendent. ()ur mother said she had often heard him complain about our cries, and furthermore had two traps set all the time, which were for us we well knew. As I was the youngest, my two brothers crawled through the hole first. My! what a sight greeted us! This great, giant looking man had a little boy across his knee and was doing justice to him with a well trimmed paddle. He was rising to put away the paddle in its usual place when he saw us. My poor unfortunate brothers he murdered, and dealt me a blow, just as I was crawling in the hole, completely severing my tail. My mother soon died of grief and I swore to avenge the death of my dear ones. I sat up night after night and finally succeeded in gnawing a hole in the back of the desk. This put me in close touch with the superintendent’s papers, and I decided to make mince meat of the most valuable ones. The following day I heard an awful disturbance about it. and the janitor was instructed to put forth every effort to capture me. About two weeks after, he left his gloves on the floor, and I was only too glad to leave them nothing but holes. But I triumphed too soon. I heard some one coming and made for my hole, but alas! the janitor had lately discovered it and made it secure by nailing a large board over it. I then ran behind a waste basket. Here I sat for hours watching this great man like a hawk. Finally, he was summoned to one of the rooms, and I worked like a Trojan getting into the basket. I had just accomplished this and was contemplating how to get back to my new home when someone picked up the basket and started for the door. I could almost see death, and jumped out of the basket. I ran for my life. Just then he was told not to empty it. for a valuable paper was missing. As school dismissed, he put off the search until morning. When night came. I began to wonder how I was to tell which was the paper for I knew if I could destroy this, my revenge would almost be complete. But how was I to tell which'one it was? 1 could not possibly destroy them all. Luck came my way. I found a match and at oncet decided to burn all in the basket. I was sometime striking it. but finally it caught papers, basket, floor and the entire room. I must now flee for my own life and oh ! how miserable. I had only intended burning the papers. Now something held me fast: the flames leaped up so close my whiskers were burned off. Then I gave a last attempt for fre-1 i, and gained it. for I was suddenly flying ih nigh space at an extremely rapid rate when 1 found myself falling off the porch. I must have fal-en a great distance for when 1 returned to consciousness the whole town was standing around me. and a stream of water was being poured upon me from the fire hoes. I stole away to a corner and layuntilmorning. When I arose I found I was all down, in and out. and looked very little like a High School niousr. 1 at cnee set out to find the school house an ' was much surprised to find nothing but a mass of ashes and burned brick. I ventured up a little nearer the ruins and overheard a conversation between some children in which they stated the fire was thought, in general, to be caused by some electric wires. This smote mv conscience greatly but I knew if any one found me to be the rogue it would greatly decrease the number in our race if not put my light out. After reasoning like this for some time, I decided to let conscience bear the burden. 1 suppose I will see you soon, but beware of revenge and take this warning from one who has had all kinds of revenge, spite, and grudge.

Regrets of Sopohmore Class liE IT RESOLVED: That, inasmuch as we, the Sophomore Class, are about to have to give up one of our fellow classmates, Frank Young; in asmuch as he has always had our interest at heart; and inasmuch as he is president of our class, we, the Committee on Resolutions, do, in behalf of the Sophomore class, express our regrets at the loss of such a worthy co-worker, and extend to him our best wishes for his success. Susan Cobh. Carrie Tanner. I telle Rates. W ill Collins. Paul Raker. Jack McMath. Ross Compton, Teacher. A Few Rules and Regulations for the High School Girl 1. When ready to march in. form not in a straight line, but in one of many graceful, sweeping curves. This pleases the eye of the instructor in mathematics. 2. Discourse loudly until ready to enter the building: such conduct calls forth front the authorities only words of sweetest praise. .?. In marching to class, be sure to zigzag across the halls two or three times, as this varies the sameness and order of the scene, and thus keeps your teachers' minds from being tired. 4. Re sure to get in the way of. and bother the little girls on the east side of the building. as this helps to keep up your dignity and also raises you in the estimation of the school authorities. 5. Senior girls should talk to the men teachers as often as possible, because it is against the orders of the superintendent. You will thus assert the strength of your position and also gain popularity with Mr. Carlisle, for everyone knows how he adores anyone disobeying his rules. 6. At the noon hour be sure to stand on the street corner, in sight of Mr. Carlisle, and talk for fifteen minutes with a boy. Being positively forbidden, such an action naturally shows how brave you are. and how much respect you have for rules.
