We who were to play a part upon the stage of time earnestly plunged into our school work. We soon gained fame as orators and musicians because of the talents for those arts. Athletics was not neglected, for foot ball and basket ball aided greatly in creating the “pep” needed in the high school Although we suffered a few hardships, our first year passed rather successfully, and the name of Sophomore was conferred upon us. Having so thoroughly mastered the freshman subjects, we thought ourselves worthy of the name. The Sophomore year was a new era in our high school work. It marked the beginning of the literary period. Rhetoric and composition were studied with enthusiasm; much pleasure was found in the study of mediaeval and modern history. Algebra, which had been difficult to other classes, was easily mastered by us. Our Sophomore year, which had been most pleasant for us, soon closed; and it was with regret that we begun our Junior work. Rut the Junior subjects were soon found to be very interesting. The broad field of American literature was devastated by us; and as a result, we des'red to study the work of the great American writers. Still progressing in the study of Latin, we were interested in Cicero’s orations. We studie geometry for the first time, and delighted in proving the propositions. iiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitii THE UK ONVO I htmr X Pngt Xinetern

The dreams of being Seniors at last have come true. Now, as Seniors, we can look back over what has been accomplished during the preceding years. We find that our work is almost a continuation of the past, but there are a few changes. We are spending our time in the pursuit of different studies. In the study of Civics, we have learned much about Texas and Federal laws. Some have found to be very beneficial the study of bookkeeping. which has recently been added to the High School curriculum. In Kngl sh literature, we find that our range has been made broader by parallel readings. Our class having gradually decreased now as Seniors, we find that eleven students remain to represent it. Step by step we have conquered the many difficulties which lay in our path, and now we realize that we have won a victory. We have been toiling tor four long years to reach that final day. Pardon us if we have related with too much praise the events in our school history; we consider them of some importance. However, we shall not forget to hope sincerely that the noble work of the High School faculty, to whom we are indebted for many happy, beneficial hours, will be crowned with success; and that the I). II. S. will continue to grow and be a source of high learning. —Mary Ellen Conley. Summer Days for Mine The trees are dark on the weary hills, The birds sing with a heartless shrill, The weary hawks are flying low, Gently falling is the snow. Spring in all her splendor comes! The bees are working with a hum, The flowers growing at our feet Will soon be withered by the heat. The hills and every shady brook Are used tor shot gun and for hook, And many say, “It’s very fine, I’ll take the summer days lor mine.” niitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiMitiiiiiiiiitiiiuiiiiiiitintiiiiiiitiiiiittiititiiiitttittiiiiittiittitiiiiiiiiniittiiiiiinitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Page Tirmly T K U H 0 N U 0 mi iimimimiiiiiiiiiifMiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiimiMiniiiiiiimiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Voluiur X
