fore enjoyed. In fact, everything of note that was accomplished in high school during this year the Juniors had at least one or two worthy representatives. To relate in detail the important events and the achievements of our Senior year would seem vainglorious indeed. It is sufficient to say that this year marks a fitting climax in the first period of our lives. Bravely we have fought and won with some credit to ourselves, we hope, and not a little credit to our teachers, who have at all times been so fai.hful and patient. —Vivion Rogers, Historian. Civics Class Prof. Jackson jokes and Russel grins, While Marie gets insulted. And Tom looks wise above his size And has to be consulted.

ISIS I Senior A Class Historg N the year of 1911, the present remarkable Senior Class, then composed of twenty-eight girls and twenty-seven boys, entered upon its brilliant career in the Denton High School. “When our task is once begun We never leave it till it 's done,’ is the motto which we selected at the beginning of our Freshman year, and which every member declared his determination to follow. When you have read the record of our achievements, you may judge of our success; but we beg of you to pardon something to a poor chronicler. The trials and tribulations that we suffered as Freshmen were not very different from those endured by other Freshmen. We were scorned and jeered at by the “Sophs”; we were only tolerated by the Juniors; and we were objects of the grea est indifference to the Seniors. But in the spring, when one of our classmen won honors over a higher classman in an oratorical contest, we became more respected by the “uppers, and naturally our confidence and self-assurance were restored. In the meantime we were plodding along obscurely, trying to master the cppar. ntlv impossible in Science, “Math. English and Latin. Some of us learned how to conjugate well the verb “Amo and some to distinguish between “x“ and “y” by the time the final “exams slipped upon us. Then by the goodness of our teachers, we passed into the realm of Sophomoredom. Our Sophomore year was one of achievements. In athletics we were conspicuous. Many of our men entered the “try out for the foot ball team, ana a few made it. Not a few boys and girls won renown for themselves as well as for their class in tennis and basket ball. But our greatest achievement was our representation in the district oratorical contest, an honor which no other Sophomore class has attained in tin history of the Denton High School. During this year some of us finally got the hazy notion that all Gaul was divided into three parts, that a stalk of corn was a monocotyledonous plant, and that English composition was our most essential work. These with a few other hazy notions passid us into the junior year. In oil- Junior year we sprii kkd liberally all activities of school life. Many of our classmen were named in the local paper as playing a star game on ihe gridiron.

Then all agree, till Ben starts up His argufying din, Stieny giggles, while Kathleen Quite openly does grin. Then there’s Walter Scott, our gentleman Of whom we all are proud. But fat and sassy Oron Is several times as loud. Jesse and Verna get so gay That they disturb George Lacy’s sleep. And he, quite accidently, Does tread on Harvey’s feet. But that’s not all of Civics class. For Elbert reigns therein, And show me, if you think you can. A prettier gentleman. T11 K 11 ti 0 X V 0 'nlume X IIIMIIIMIIIIIIIIIIH....... Page Tirentg-nine
