THE MW SCO m : Vn!urn t VII. ti A utobiography. Kind Reader: As my origin and past life have often times been questioned, I shall endeavor to put before the public some facts pertaining to my personal career. My first issue appeared in 1904, in which I was “dubbed” Bronco. The very name suggests I was to be “some goer.” I appeared each successive year until 1908, when the disastrous fire occurred, destroying all enthusiasm for '08 annual. However, the next year, I came forth in full array and was declared the neatest and most interesting of any issue up to this time. Owing to the liberal literary productions made by the student body, I have grown better each successive year. The school with which I am connected, Denton High, has held her position in the front ranks from her origin. I do not wish to appear egotistical, but owing to my inspiration there have been several branches added to this school; namely, Domestic Science, Athletics, Oratory, and Music. Also the enrollment has steadily increased: our faculty in quantity, and as to quality ask the patrons. Then who knows but these named persons, students and teachers as well, have been greatly influenced by a desire to have their own likeness adorn the pages of that noted annual, “The Bronco.” One can readily see my life work is two fold. First, to do all I can for D. H. S.; second, to serve as a reminder of past enjoyment rather than to stand for literary genius. When I fail to accomplish either of these duties, I shall recede into the back ground, that another more worthy than I may serve as a representative of my domain. Thanking you for your attention, I am. yours for D. H. S., The Bronco.
