The harder you jab the spurs, The more feed you feed, So much the better for the rider. And the faculty will give him the speed. That’s what makes the Bronco buck, boys, That’s what makes the Bronco buck. The higher he bucks, The better the book.

MIZELL C X THE BRONCO 1920 C ) Expressions We’ll Not Forget Miss Melson (in the study hall) : “Please do not pass until I have called your class.” Miss Walker: “Oh children! in order to have an annual this year we must work.” Mr. Logan: “Let’s have the room perfectly quiet please.” Miss Bell: “There’s too much confusion in the room.” Mr. Graham: “Those who went to the library yesterday at this period please don’t ask to go today.” Miss Tomlinson: “Do you all have thimbles on?” Mr. Chalmers: “Another little announcement please.” Miss Wisdom: “I have asked you to be quiet my last time.” Miss Owens: “I want to see all you girls out for ball practice this afternoon.” Mrs. Nelson: “Girls, don’t you belong in some study hall?” Mr. Potter: “Don’t you wish you had taken Latin?” Miss Simmons: “All right, you.” Miss Bailey: “You girls will have to stay out of the basement.” Mr. Beaty: “Well, did you come to see me?

I cram ’till my brain is sore, I sit and read ’till my conscience hurts, And yet, I’ve got to read some more!” “Oh, memories that bless and burn, Oh, “Paradise Lost” and “Comus” too, I strive to learn what they’re all about, But I simply can’t — CAN YOU???” — Kathleen Tobin. ( THE BRONCO 1020 C ) An Appreciation Oft in the stilly evening, Or maybe at night you know, I sometimes sit and ponder, As I watch the fire-light glow. My heart is filled with sadness, An’ my face with longings cloud, Because I catch a vision Of that Christmas Senior crowd. They weren’t so large in number, But in quality they surpass. They had that peppy spirit And that loyalty to class. Guess that’s why the teachers loved them ’Cause you couldn’t find a one, That would dare to raise a row, About anything that’s done. Besides their lovely dispositions An’ their ways so bright and sunny, They left us something very useful, A pocket full of money. We thank them all for this And we’re glad that it is done, ’Cause it started us to working On our athletic fund. So we want to wish them joy An’ give thanks for what they did, To push our school ahead. An’ help the high school kids. — Kathleen Tobin.

( X THE BRONCO 1020 Xf ) How the Seniors Got Their Name Have you heard the myth of how The Seniors got their name? I’ll tell you the story, so you’ll Know from whence they came. Sure, a little bit of Heaven Fell from out the sky one day, And nestled in Denton High School In a very pleasing way. So when the Angels saw it, It looked so great and rare, They said, “Suppose we leave it, It seems so peaceful there.” So they sprinkled it with knowledge, And goodness! how it grew, Till today they’re almost Angels, And their wings are sproutin’ too; Of course, the story’s mighty simple, But the facts are mighty plenty, That you’ll never see another class Like that of 1920. — Kathleen Tobin.

For I’ve something I want to relate to you, In simple, pleasing (???) rhyme. It is no tale of great achievement Nor glorious victories won. But only a heart-felt story, About our wonderful Seventy-One Which the sun, alone, outshone. Through this glorious year we’ve struggled, With Bennie at the wheel, ’Cause Anna, Dick and Dorothy Are always on the reel. That makes us think of our “Broadway Sports, Guy D. and Carl, and Sam, With whom Rubv, Faye, ind Robbie Are always to be found. We mustn’t miss Ben. Bertie, or Bernice. Who never give advice To Jew’el, Pat. or Archie. ’Cause they are so very pious. Counting Pauline, the Lorenes and Lorena We have a studious (?) whirl That wouldn’t be complete, unless We added, Laura. Leone, and Pearl. Then traveling right along with these. Laboring to keep things at “par,” Are Hilda, the Veras and Sarah, Such wonderful characters thev are. Loressie. who leads the entire bunch. When it comes to English class. Seeks to prevent Annie from falling in love As Editha did — that wee little lass. Among our everworking ones, Who are never raising rows. Are the Raymands, Ruth and Ralph, For goodness is what they ’lows. ( X THE BRONCO 1920 XT ) With the dignity of Edith and Grady, We see right here at hand A romance that’s about to begin For which Irma simply won’t stand. Era, Mable, and Melbra’s got More brains than Webster had And thev’re sure to make a guy feel punk, An’ all the kids feel sad. Sidney. Winona, and Pearlie Are all included in our bunch. They help to keep the fussin’ up. But. naturally. Isaiah heads the punch. Will and John and Patti Are Seniors, too, you know. And with Opal. Beryl, and Charlotte, They make a good side-show. The Helens. Elaine, and Naomi Are brighter than sparkling gems. And you say S. D. Adams? Thev’re simply crazy over him. Ida Mae and Lawton are simply great I know, But in our “zoo” we have these two McCray and Pearson — just for show. And John and Joe and Elizabeth Might aid us in our fun But Vardaman, Cecil and Leta All nonsense I know will shun. Marida. Connie, and Clark Are naturally inclined to be wise. But J. B., Ilean. and Bettie Have never been known to tell lies. Now, I’ve mentioned them all but myself, anyway If anything about me is worth saying, I’ll leave it to you to say. — Kathaleen Tobin. XTT D ( x THE BRONCO IQ2Q X ) H 9 Latin Class In Latin class on the morning of Monday, We don’t know our lessons, for ’tis right after Sunday; On Tuesday our brains are tired and sore And Latin to us seems such a bore. On Wednesday our lessens are long and old, And those who attack them sure have to be bold. Thursday we wait for Friday to come, And all but “William,” are on the bum. Friday comes and is welcome to us, But then comes Monday, and we’re sure to “cuss.” ( X the BRONCO 1920 T 3 SENIOR B CLASS OFFICERS Carl Broyles President Opal Morrison Vice-President Eudora Lindsey Secretary-Treasurer Carl Broyles .................................

The moon shines still where night distils Her dues, and ’mid each pool of liquid lies The chart of starry skies; there the wind plays Upon the trees a song that soothes and thrills, Now laugh, laugh until your soul is thrilled In response to nature’s call from the hill. — Carl Broyles.

Secretary-Treasurer Joe Skidmore and Molena Williams Class Poets X THE BRONCO 1920 XT ) r Junior Class Poem Next year we’ll be Seniors, And the peppiest class in school, We’ve always been as Juniors, And we’ll never break our rule. We led the school in football, And the Bronco money too; And in our booth on Senior Day, We showed what we could do. The Seniors tried to beat us, But they found it much too hard, And the Fish and Sophs look up to us. With the deference due a Lord. Though the work that’s given us Does make us weep and wail, We pitch right in and never fuss And seldom ever fail. — Molena Williams, H 10 ( X the BRONCO 1920 y Junior B Class Prophecy L'ttle Emma Bannert paused a moment in her look Thru’ the relics of the attic, from her Auntie’s old green book. “Dear old Auntie, how she loved this! How she treasured every page Sadlv mused the little maiden o’er the covers worn with age. She recalled her Aunt’s last concert, all the honors she had won. How the dear gray-haired old lady to the world much good had done. Then the little lass remembered how her Auntie oft did tell Of happy times in Denton High, the school she loved so well. Emma turned the green book’s pages, read the message by each name And the many, many clippings, how the writers came to fame. Then, being very lonely, she began to read aloud And to comment on the clippings, why her Auntie was so proud. Here’s her president, Charles Preston.-----such fame by him was reached That men traveled to Korea, where the missionary preached. And his wife, too, once an actress, simplv Sula in this book, Was a very worthy helpmeet, one can tell that by her look. Adelle Lackett now inspires great crowds with her sweet voice, And all who hear her charming notes have reason to rejoice. Then Minnie Mae also sings each Sundav in the choir, Her good influence reaches far and lifts one’s thoughts up higher. As superintendent of the schools, in our largest state. Eugenia Mitchell, a pretty lass, to teachers does dictate. And Eula Mae Hester now instructs in the latest dancing step, — Her pupils should progress indeed, for Eula has the “pep.” There’s Reece Harris, the bov who once strolled along our hall, A learned man, he now presides o’er classes large and small. And Oh. Yes! I recall it. now. there’s Henrietta Harrison. Asa writer of romantic tales, this girl much fame has won. ( the bronco 1020 X ) When Louise Duke played or wrote, her music was received With much enjoyment everywhere and her success achieved. And then, there’s Jim Beal, “Who studied long and hard,” As an aeroplane captain, he now is reaping his reward. And Emory Wilson spends his time, in writing lovely sonnets, And pretty girls, to please this man, put on their newest bonnets. And here is young William Corry, the boy who sang so well, His fortune made, this clipping says, in New York now does dwell. To make the shut-ins happy, and forget their helpless state, Is Blanch Adams’ chosen work, this clipping does relate. Surrounded by stenographers, with office force at work, Homer Ritchie owns a music store right where he used to clerk. “Rescued from a burning room! Unconscious, borne away!” The hero was rewarded on Mamie’s wedding day. Sam West, tall and statelv, though full of iuii is he, Teaches higher mathematics, in the State Varsity. Charles Taylor, known by students as the “Little Rascal,” Has wandered far, and now resides within the Kaiser’s castle. For nursing people when they’re sick, and helping when they’re maimed. In her great hospital abroad, is Rena May Waggner’s fame. And Emory January, lucky boy! A married man is he, His office hours, his only joys, for henpecked sore is he. When Mary Skiles told her friends that she would write for boys. They all did laugh, but now they see she knows what lads enjoy. “The Nation’s Great Evangelist, a Man of Magic Power,” Wilson Watkins preaches to great crowds and holds them by the hour. Iris Wood did wed right rich, a little love mixed in, She helps her hubby to complete each thing he does begin. A captain on a liner, the ocean wide he braves, For Cleo Olliver’s days are spent to music on the waves. Nell Gilley, all will recall, now a teacher, she is learned; After six year’s absence, she has to Denton High returned. ( X THE BRONCO 1920 X ) Pauline Goode became a writer of sonnets of the great; She also found just what she thought a very perfect mate. When Leo Klepper undertook to better politics, The grateful people to his name, the title “Judge” affixed. By honest industry and sincere application, Charles Patrick won for himself a business reputation. That beautiful big home, so stately and erect, Was built by Lloyd McCombs, the well-known architect. Helen Martin, once so happy in her realm of social life, Has changed her view of happiness and makes a lovely wife. Hazel Kirpatrick married twenty times — it wasn’t in a dream, But don’t get agitated, for she did it on the screen. Helen Horton is in Europe studying her favorite art — I wonder if her music will captivate a foreign heart? Ola and Iris, the much beloved, have just returned from France, They proudly wear a service cross, won in their ambulance. Ora and Ruth are laughing yet, that laugh of high school fame, They are still the Ora and Ruth, but they have different names. On Y. M. C. A. rosters. Maurice and Wade you’ll find. Through all the corps the soldiers talk of such men who are kind. Oh, w'ell! The will of destiny must always be obeyed. For Rosa Lee and Ruth Craddock turned out to be old maids. Little Emma Bannert dropped her Auntie’s old green book, As the Sandman came and took her to his cozy, sleepy nook. X THE BRONCO 1020 X c ) Sophomore A Class Poem The great high Sophs have the pep, Which they have acquired step by step; They’re always jolly and full of glee, Especially so when they come to a party. They’re loyal and good and kind and true, And will ere long just show to you What wonderful things that they can do. — Jewel Stevens. X THE BRONCO 1920 XT ) V. FRESHMAN A CLASS OFFICERS Marie Khonova .............................President Olive Fortenberry ..................... Secretary Blanche Hines and Aleen Key Class Poets THE BRONCO IQ2Q Freshman A Class Poems Listen while I tell you a story, Of the Freshman class in all its glory. “Fishes,” say you who think you’re grown; Rut we’re as smart as the sun e’er shone. We study hard from morning till night, And until we’ve finished we never take flight. We’re never discouraged but always gay, Whether we’re working or whether at play. So Sophs, Juniors, Seniors, all, When the right time comes, and there is a call, You need not worry as you pass through the sky, Because you’ll meet the Freshmen all on high. — Blanche Hines, H 8 A.

At the suggestion of the State inspector, the partition between the old dining room and sewing room was removed, thus giving more room and light for the sewing classes. In spite of crowded conditions the girls have done a great deal and this course is gaining in popularity as is shown by the many requests from girls desiring to take this work. At the close of school the sewing girls will have an exhibit of the garments they have made.

For the last year it has been working under disadvantages which, however, have not weakened its spirit in the least. After Mr. Farrington’s resignation it was left in a what-must-we-do condition. Then Mrs. King of the College of Industrial Arts offered her assistance and the Glee Club again began work under Miss Edna Saunders, Mrs. King’s assistant. After Christmas Miss Saunders found that she could not meet the club; so Miss Catherine Wisdom was made director. Since then, interest has increased and the club bids fair to do excellent work in the future. X THE BRONCO 1920 X ) r HI Y OFFICERS Marlin Smith..................................

Indeed, it even seemed to encourage them to put forth all energy and get their work off in order that they might enjoy themselves more when the weather became suitable for their long hoped for hikes and gaieties. In the very short time since their first meeting, the first Thursday in January, they have organized, selected names, and made elaborate plans for the summer. At the first, their room in the old building which was so kindly put at their disposal, was the center of interest. But before their beautiful dreams could materialize, the sordid question of money confronted them. Their first plan for securing the necessary funds was by a benefit show which Mr. Vivian of the Princess Theatre kindly gave them. From this they made $15.00. This gave a boost to their interest as well as to their finances. Many plans have been suggested which they intend to carry out in the near future, but they do not intend to be selfish and work only for their own pleasure. They have appointed a committee to collect magazines and reading material to take to the Ladies’ Rest Room and to the jail. _ X THE BRONCO I92Q X ) r- Things We Try to Believe That oral reports are for our good.

After all the guests had arrived at the High School building, they were ushered into the beautifully decorated dining room where a five course dinner was served. After the banquet, Marie Banks entertained with a farewell party. Refreshments were served at a late hour, and a delightful hour was spent by all. SENIOR BOX SUPPER On February 14, the Seniors entertained with a box supper at the High School building, given for the benefit of the Bronco fund. Over forty dollars and a good time were realized. COLONIAL BALL On the evening of February 20, the Seniors entertained the Juniors with an old-time Colonial Ball, at the High School building. The decorations were very appropriate for the occasion. Old-fashioned games were played; a short but interesting program was rendered and then every one danced the Virginia Reel. The refreshments which were served at a late hour were in harmony with the Colonial idea. A delightful time was enjoyed by all. KID PARTY On the evening of March 12, Naomi Lipscomb, one of our classmates, entertained with a “kid candy pulling.” Perhaps the most amusing feature of the evening was the attire of the girls. “Kid games” were played and the time for the candy making came all too soon for us. Each “kid” had a “swell” time. ( X THE faRONCO l92Q T ) JUNIOR SOCIAL AFFAIRS HALLOWE’EN PARTY Notwithstanding a heavy rain all the “spooks” and “ghosts,” which later turned out to be the Junior class, met at the home of Miss Vivian Chambers on Highland street and proceeded to carry out their witchcraft, until the clock’s striking twelve reminded them that all witches and goblins should disappear promptly at the last stroke. The next Junior party was at the home of Addie and Leta Robinson on Ponder Avenue, where the class showed its mental ability in various games of “Forty-two,” “Bunco,” and similar games, after which dainty refreshments were served. Miss Thelma Killian entertained the Junior class January 2, at her country home west of the city. The guests went out in cars from the home of Molena Williams. Games were played and it was with reluctance that the jolly crowd obeyed the chaperons’ commands to depart at a seemingly early hour. The High Junior class celebrated the opening of the new term with a class party at the home of Floyd Ballard on Bolivar street. When the members arrived they were given a ride in an aeroplane (?). Dancing was the chief amusement. On February 4, Miss Melson’s birthday, the class celebrated the event with a surprise party and fruit shower. An amusing feature of the evening was guessing her age but it seems as if none of the class are good guessers, for every guess was pronounced incorrect. After a very delightful time, the guests departed, wishing the hostess many happy returns of her birthday. The Junior class started the good work going by giving a box supper January 30, for the benefit of the Bronco fund. Over twenty-five dollars were presented the staff for use in the annual.

SOPHOMORE YELLS Strawberry shortcake, Blueberry pie, We are the Sophomores Of “Denton Hi.” X THE BRONCO 1020 C r Coach Graham Mr. Graham is a seasoned athlete. His football knowledge was put to a thorough test this year. Tim was his first year with Denton High and he had all new men to start with. He is to be commended for his ability as a coach and for w'hat he has done for the school. Loren McCray, Captain, Left-end. Age 17 Weight 145 “Bits” was a good tackier, and was one of our best men at breaking up interference. He w-as good at kicking also, and it wras very seldom that he ever failed to kick goal after a touchdown, no matter from what angle of the field. Bryon Clement, Right-half Age 19 Weight 160 “Man-eater” was a dependable backfield man no matter where used. He was good at picking out a hole in the line and making good gains through it. He did some good punting and as a long and accurate passer he was without a superior. He has two or three years yet in high school and he will be a great strength to the team. Dick Myers, Right-end Age 18 Weight 145 Dick was another new man hailing from Beaumont. Although being out part of the season on account of an injured shoulder, he gained the reputation of being one of the hardest hitting ends that has ever played on the high school team. His ability to smash through interference and down the man with the ball, stopped most plays around his end. Guy Davidson, Quarterback Age 17 Weight 143 Guy’s cool headwork in generaling the team won him a place of honor on the D. H. S. gridiron. From whistle to whistle he was in every part of the game, fighting his best, whether we were winning or losing. The team could always depend on him to cheer them up. He will be missed next year. Ben Lenty, Left Tackle Age 17 Weight 178 Ben was a newcomer to Denton High but was not long in making himself known. He was always ready and willing to do anything he was told to do without grumbling. He played the fighting brand of football, and we only regret that he waited so long to move to our city. Willie Bean, Backfield Age 17 Weight 155 “Sleepy” came to us from Rockwall where he had a record as a good football player. He kept up his record this year by his long end runs and by his passing. He was very popular among the football boys. He is only a Freshman and if he keeps on improving, he will soon be an all-state man. I. B. Griffith, Backfield Age 17 Weight 153 I. B. was the all round of the team. He played every position so well that he never knew, until just before each game, where he would play. He was elected captain for next year. Leo Klepper, Center Age 17 Weight 140 “Legs” at first was played at end, but was later changed to center, where he played even better. His passing the ball was accurate. lie was a sure tackier, and, although small in size, he had plenty of grit. The rougher it was, the better he liked it. He will be back next year to help get revenge on some of this year’s rivals. Nealy Allison, End Age 17 Weight 140 This was Nealy’s first year with the team, but one would never have guessed it. He had plenty of grit and his “shoestring” tackles always caused a sensation. He was also very good at receiving passes. He will be back next year. Jack Birchfield, Left-half Age 18 Weight 150 Jack was a man on whom the whole team often depended for an occasional ten-yard gain off tackle. He made many long gains around the ends, but his best work was in bucking the lines. He alw'ays tackled hard and low. He played safety on defense, and could always be depended upon to bring punts back up the field. Elma Pearson, Left Guard Age 16 Weight 140 “Purty” was one of the steadiest workers on the team. By good coaching and hard work, he became one of our best linemen. Not one of his opponents this year was his size, but he nearly always managed to hold the line, or, when on defense, to break through the opponent’s line and get his man. Lawton Martin, Right Guard Age 18 Weight 146 “Sam” was another all round man. He was especially good at breaking up interference. He was fast and played as well in the backfield as on the line. He was a man of endurance and strength and well earned his letter by his willingness and hard work. Floyd McCombs, Right Tackle Age 16 Weight 156 “Pie” was a product of Lewisville. He could always be depended upon to open up a hole, and he could run interference like a tank. He was willing to do whatever he was told and he was always fighting to the last. He will be back next year and he will be a great strength to the line. ( X THE BRONCO 1920 XT ) REVIEW OR FOOTBALL SEASON When the football season of 1919 opened, Coach Graham had about tnirty men trom which to pick a team. Denton High had no team last year; therefore a team had to be picked from new men altogether. Practice was begun about the last week in September. On October 11, the team went to McKinney and played their first game. McKinney first scored one touchdown, but failed to kick goal. Denton then made a touchdown and kicked goal. The score was 6 to 7 in Denton’s favor until the last half minute of play, when McKinney made a long pass and completed it with a touchdown and then kicked goal. The score was 13 to 7 in favor of McKinney. Then came the game with North Fort Worth. Although being outweighed by an average of about fifteen pounds to the man, by hard playing Denton won the game 26 to 15. W’hitesboro next came to Denton and the D. H. S. boys fairly played them off their feet. After the first quarter many second string men were used. It was an easy victory for Denton, the score being 48 to 0. In the early part of November the team went to Fort Worth to play the Central High School team that later won the championship of Texas. The Denton boys were outclassed by the heavy and more experienced Fort Worth boys. However, Denton fought hard till the last and never gave up until the final whistle blew. The game ended with the score 39 to 0 in favor of Central Fort Worth. The team went to Gainesville on November 7 and again met defeat at the hands of a larger team. Bean, our fullback, was out of the game and Clement was injured and had to be taken out in the second quarter. After that Denton had no one to equal Clement in passing and punting and we lost the game by the score of 19 to 0. On November 11 the fast Masonic Home team came here. This was ( ZX THE BRONCO 1920 X the third game Denton had played in a little over a week. The first half ended without either team scoring. In the last half of the game the Mason’s heavy backfield plunged Denton’s light line for many long gains. Masonic Home won the game 35 to 0. Thus ended the season of 1919. Though not a successful season, Denton is not ashamed of its team. With all new men to start with, and with games with some of the best teams in the State, it was only by the hardest work of Coach Graham and the team that they were able to do anything. The prospects for a winning team next year look very bright. There will be six letter men back and plenty of new material, and with Mr. Graham to coach them, they should be in the race for State championship. CLASS GAMES After the football season closed, the Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores each organized a team and practiced about a week. The first game played was between the Juniors and Sophs- The Juniors won, the score being 18 to 7. The Juniors and Seniors then played and again the Juniors won, this time by the score of 19 to 0.

B. Griffith, Captain, Forward I. B. was always at the right place at the right time. He was one of the steadiest players on the team. He played one position as well as another. During the season he played every position on the team, doing his best work at forward. He will be back next year. “Legs” guards with the tenacity of a bulldog. Although he is short and small, he has plenty of grit and endurance. His playing was never flashy but steady and consistent. His ability to play the ball and not the man enabled him to intercept a majority of the opponent’s passes in his territory. Bell was one of the letter men from last year’s team. He always went into a game full of pep and played aggressively until the final whistle blew. No matter who was guarding him it was almost impossible to keep him from scoring heavily. He will be back next year. Ralph came to us from Lewisville. Although he is very light, he is very fast, and his ability to cover the court and “mix it up” with whoever had the ball made him a valuable man to the team. He will be back next year to help get revenge on some of this year’s rivals. Leo Klepper, Guard Lloyd Bell, Forward Ralph Emory, Forward ) C X THE BRONCO 1920 XT ) Guy Davidson, Guard Guy was another letter man from last year’s team. He was bothered all season with an injured knee, but when he was in the game, he could be depended on to stay with his man from the first to the last. The team will miss him next year. Willie Bean, Center This was Bill’s first year with D. H. S. Because of his height and his ability to jump, Bill could hold his own w'ith any center he met. The fact that he is left-handed made him just that much harder to guard. The ease with which he intercepted passes and the accuracy with which he passed to his teammates was responsible for many goals scored by someone else. S. D. Adams, Forward S. D. came to us from Justin. He was very fast and active. He well earned his letter by his hard work and his willingness to do what he was told. He was all over the field at all times and was a hard man to keep up with, whether playing forward or guard. We shall miss him next year. Loren McCray, Guard “Bitsey” was another of last year’s men. He started late this year but worked hard and soon made a place on the team. His guarding was of the highest order and his speed made it possible for him to play all over the court and still get back in time to prevent his forward from scoring. Fay Snyder, Center Fay was another new man in this year’s line-up. His size and speed, and his willingness to use it enabled him to stay right in the game, no matter how rough it became. His aggressiveness in rustling the ball and his accurate goal tossing made him a valuable man. We are expecting great things of him next year. ( X THE BRONCO 1920 V BASKETBALL REVIEW OF THE SEASON The basketball season this year as a whole was a very successful one. Four letter men were back from last year’s team and there was plenty of new material. The weather was very bad and having had very little practice, the team went to Coney, Oklahoma and met defeat by the score of 34 to 12. The next game was played at Denton with North Fort Worth. Denton High won the game by the score of 37 to 26. Krum was the next victim. Denton won an easy victory over them, the score being 41 to 19. Denton High then went to McKinney and won another easy game by the score of 38 to 18. Pilot Point came to Denton with a fast and heavy team. Denton was outplayed, and Pilot Point won. The score was 38 to 19. Denton High went to Masonic Home next and again met defeat by the score of 35 to 20. The team then went to Whitesboro and won the game by the score of 49 to 12. The last game of the season was played with McKinney at Denton. Denton won the game, the score being 31 to 9. Denton piled up a score this year of 237 points against their opponents’ 158 points. The indications are that next year’s team will be even more successful than this year’s as six letter men will be back to play with D. H. S. ( X THE BRONCO 1920 X ) THE GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM The team this year was practically all new material, the entire first team of last year having been graduates with the exception of the star jumping center, Charlotte Collins. Under the circumstances they had a fairly good team. Miss Owens showed much interest in the new team and had them begin practicing four days out of each week. She also arranged a number of practice games with the Normal’s first team and when the weather was unfit she succeeded in obtaining the use of the indoor court at the Normal. The team worked steady and much interest was manifested. All the players of the team will be back next year except their forward, Ruby Lee Clement and jumping center, Charlotte Collins. The lineup was as follows: Forwards: Leland Gunter fmanager). Ruby Lee Clement; Centers: Charlotte Collins (jumping center and captain).

From hand to hand, that note was passed, Until at last it reached a lass, Who shyly took it and sent a smile To the triumphant urchin down the aisle. Her cheeks grew pink as she slowly read, And coyly she tossed her little head As if to say, “It's nothing to me, If you think it is, just wait and see.” But really way down deep in her heart, Her love for him heid a prominent part. In the meantime from his perch in the hall, Mr. Graham was calmly watching it all. Unawares to the culprits, he came up behind Slowly, deliberately, and taking his time. When he reached the side of the lass he said, “What is your face doing all so red ?” At this the girl’s face grew redder still, And she said, “Well, if I must, I guess I will. So she told the story from first to last, With a trembling voice and painfully abashed. To the victims Mr. Graham said, “I’m afraid, This episode is going to lower your grade,” And gravely he got his little red book, And the names of the culprits he silently took, And said with a voice that was enough to freeze, “Stay in forty minutes please.” I’m sure now you are dying to know What was in the note written by the beau, But really now, I’ve promised not to tell, Though I think it would do no harm to spell, He wrote, “I 1-o-v-e you.” — Louise Duke, L 10.

The teacher waits and looks around, And every once ’n a while, I dare to sorta raise my head, But dare not crack a smile. Right soon the teacher rings a bell Then all the kids march out, But everyone is stiff and straight, And tiptoes all about. I’m crazy ’bout my teacher, and I like the work and all, But gee! if there’s one thing I hate It’s that Ole Study Hall. — Rena Mae Waggoner, L 10. v y ( X THE BRONCO 1020 XT ) The Freshman’s Tip A little Freshman stood upon the stairs, And talked to a blonde sweet and fair. When little blonde began to tease, It gave little kishie heart disease; So Jbreshie iaa ana lass, got up a case, began passing notes in mstory class. miss Simmons with her hawK-nke eye bspied a note passed on tne siy. Then to the omce little rreshie went, On ms return ms neaa was uent; j na when quest.oned aoout his trip ne always gave a little tip. boys, lay-011 these high school queens because the Supt s board sure does sting.” — Leo Klepper, L 10. A Junior’s Prayer Dear Lord, please make English a little easier Or send us some oil that’s called “brain greaser,” Cause, you know English’s the biggest kind of a teaser — So now, dear Lord, can’t you make it just a little easier? We stay and we work, every evening till half-past six. Please, now dear Lord, either send us that greaser, Or make English a little easier! Amen! — Fannie McCormick. ( X THE BRONCO 1920 C ) Aulcl Remembrances ’Twas Senior’s Day and all through the school Ran a thrill of excitement that defied all rule. The Seniors were running excitedly about, Cheering up all within and without. Miss Walker came down, precise and trim, Dressed as a girl, the fairest of them, Mr. Logan dressed as a youth so gay Added to the fun that was had that day. The smell of hamburgers was in the air, While pies and cakes offered dainty fare. To add to all there was a rumor in sway That later a cake would be given away. For the lucky one in this treat Cocoa there was both hot and sweet. For the prettiest booth the Juniors struck But in the selling-, the Seniors were in luck. The fishing pond was in evidence too. Ask Prof. Graham he’ll tell von ’tis true. For throwing three balls in a iar in a run. A nice box of Nunnallv’s chocolates vou won. And now comes the end of a perfect dav. Everything’s done we can truthfully sav; And now it’s all over and the merriment ceased. Everybody’s hannv and ffie facnltV.s in peace. — Joe Skidmore Junior A. ( X THE BRONCO 1920 X ) A Study Hall Tragedy I was sitting in the study hall with never ary smile When all unbeknown to me a bottle rolled down the aisle. My heart into my mouth came up; my breath it me forsook, For Mr. Graham casually wrote Conduct B, in his old book. I did not put the rollers on that bottle in the hall, But circumstantial evidence convicted me, that’s all. So forth into the class room I sauntered bright and gay And took the examinations all, all on that wintry day. So listen now, my fellow pals, take heed — please do not smile, Be careful where you keep you feet as bottles go rolling down the aisles. — One Who Understands. ( X THE BRONCO 1020 C ) High School Memories I remember, I remember, The dear old D. H. S.; The little office on the main floor, Where Mr. Beaty found no rest. He often came in noiselessly, To catch us at our play; But when he entered and looked around No signs were there US to betray. I remember, I remember, The stand-pipe, black and high, That stood, like some great giant. Towering upward toward the sky. Sometimes the pressure was too great And then the pipe would overflow; And change our playground to a lake. And fill our hearts with grief and woe. I remember. T remember. The tests I used to take: And though those davs are nast and gone. With the grades T used to make Mv thoughts still wander back again To the pleasures and the iovs. And my manv friends at D. H. S. Among the girls and boys. I remember. T remember. The Senior great and high: T used to think his loftv mind Knew all from earth to skv. Then, a Freshman. T was nuzzled By the wise look on his face. But now T understand it all For I’m a Senior in his place. — Mabel Maxcy, H11. ( X THE BRONCO 1920 XT' ) OUR LIBRARY One of the most valuable assets of the Denton High School is its library. Its growth has not been phenomenal but it has been steady. There are now over fifteen hundred volumes of the best reference books on every subject taught in the high school and on every phase of high school life. In addition to the books, a dozen of the best magazines are taken. The library is kept open from 8:00 a. m. until 4:00 p. m. except for the noon hour. This is made possible because of the willingness of a few of the girls to serve as librarians. The room that has been used for the library is already too small, and in the near future more adequate provisions will have to be made or the growth of the library will be greatly hindered. p_: X THE BRONCO 1920 X ) FUN The World is old, yet likes to laugh; New jokes are hard to find, A whole new editorial staff Can’t tickle every time. So if you meet some ancient joke, Decked out in modern guise, Don’t frown and call the thing a fake, Just laugh — don’t be too wise. — Ruth Hobson, Sr. A. frr (Teachor, please tali' how tt spell Fr0 I (If she F - Wch-ni yto ever kee a co oz rt u + 7 M-c f?h i Hush, I n o c e v o i 5 o 7'tt «? h-e tt S pelling C 3SS 'fle W5 The most important of1 a. school fi1 +1$ t fe Jsu res.

(thoughtfully): “Terrill School in Dallas, I believe.” Mr. Graham: “Just what is a general education?” Fannie Me.: “Well-----I know what it is but I don’t know how to say it, but you’ve got one.” “Juniors,” said a Senior, “I was not always a Senior. I started out as a Freshman.” “You were lucky,” remarked a Junior. “Most Seniors start out in the primary.” Mr. Chalmers (to Latin class): “ ‘Gallina’ means ‘chicken.’ ” James Stroud: “Is that masculine or feminine, Mr. Chalmers?” V J X THE 9RONCO 1020 XT ) Prof.: “When a person has knowledge he has wisdom.” Student: “Do many people have wisdom, Prof?” Archie: “Yes, there are six of us.” Prof.: “But there’ll be one less if you don’t hush.” What happened to Babylon?” qnizzed Miss Owens. “It fell,” responded the class. “And what happened to Ninevah?” “Destroyed,” was the reply. And to Tyre?” “It was punctured.” “My gal nearly called me honey the other day,” bragged Hugh Pruitt. “Why, how’s that?” “Well, when I passed her she said ‘Hello Beeswax.’ ” Heard often among Freshmen: “Someone has gone off with my ‘Lady of the Lake’.” Miss Melson: “Ruby, parse this sentence. ‘He kissed me’.” Ruby Wilkinson: “‘He,’ masculine gender, strong and tall; ‘kissed,’ active verb, showing affection; ‘me,’ Oh, you all know me.” Mr. Beaty found a Freshman out behind the building bumping his head against the wall as hard as he could. “Why are you torturing yourself so?” asked Mr. Beaty. Freshman: “Because it feels so good when I stop.” Miss Wisdom (translating Latin) : “Knave, where is thy horse?” Wilson Watkins (frightened) : “It’s in my desk, but I ain’t using it. Mr. Graham: “Will, what are you running for?” Will Erwin: “To keep two boys from fighting.” Mr. Graham: “Which two boys?” Will: “Wendell Hill and I.” ( X THE BRONCO IQ2Q XT ) Teacher: “What is an island?” FYeshy: “A wart in the ocean.” Miss Wisdom (to student in Latin class) : “You may read next.” Student: “But I can’t.” Miss Wisdom: “W’hy is that?” Student: “I forgot to bring my translation to class.” Mr. Beaty (to John Davis) : “John, why were you out of school yesterday?” John D.: “I went fishing.” Mr. Beaty: “Come up to my office and we will have a whaling expedition.” Mr. Logan: “Miss Mary, what is the next thing to do in bookkeeping?” “Miss Mary: “We close the ledger.” (Loud noise over the room as all pupils close their ledgers.) Helen (who wanted to see the movies but had seen them four times that week) : “Papa, give me twenty cents, I need a new notebook.” Papa: “What kind do you need, Pm going to town right now?” Miss Walker: “Ruby, who was the first American to write dramas?” Ruby (very wisely) : “Shakespeare.” Mr. Beaty: “Y ou are suspended for a term of two weeks.” Henry: “I’ll be dead if I hang that long.” He and she arrived in the second half. He: “Score is still nothing to nothing.” She: “Goody! We haven’t missed a thing.” Sweet young contributor: “You sit on every joke I write.” Dorothy: “Well, I wouldn’t if they had any point to them.” ( X THE BRONCO 1920 X ) Eloise Yancy: “Oh, father, how grand it is to be alive! The world is too good for anything! Why isn’t everybody happy?” Her Father: “Who is he this time?” Leland very much excited entered the library, rushed up to the desk and exclaimed: Oh, Miss Walker, S. D. wants either “As You Like It,” or What’s You Do About Nothing.” Simple Freshie met a Senior Plodding along to Denton Hi, Said simple Freshie to the Senior, “Why, I heard that you could fly.” — Roberta Rogers. H 8 B. Ride a fast bronco to D. H. S., And see a pretty girl in her loveliness. Rings on her fingers and powder on her nose, And the boys step lively wherever she goes. High Eighth Freshie, quite contrary, How does your report card go? Some are A’s and some are B’s, And some are very low. — Robert Mills, H 8 C. Pearl J.: “Bess, what are you thinking about?” Bess: “Nothing.” Pearl J.: “What do you think about when you think about nothing?” Bess: “Pearl January.” First Soph.: “Have you seen a girl pass here with one eye, named Mary?” Second Soph.: “No, what was the other eye named?” f X THE BRONCO 1920 XT ) Miss Melson (on exam.) : “Name three enlightened despots about whom we have been studying.” A Green Fish: “Commerce, Navigation, and Manufacturing.” Miss Melson: “What American writer wandered up and down the Hudson and gathered much of the material for his stories from the Dutch housewives ?” , Lona Mae Simpson (timidly raising her hand) : “Wasn’t it Shakespeare ?” Mr. Graham: “Raymond, tell us something of Henry VIII.” Raymond D.: “Well, first he came to the throne and married his sister’s widow.” “There, I’ve spent an hour on this lesson.” said Bennie Smith, pulling his book from under his chair cushion. Mr. Graham (to civics class) : “Everyone bring pencil and paper tomorrow for a test.” Bine T. (with his right hand tied up) : “Mr. Graham, I can’t write. I have a splinter in my hand.” Mr. Graham (absent mindedly) : “Been scratching your head, I suppose.” In Hi-9 cooking class, Miss Tomlinson gave Helen M. a quarter and sent her after some soap at eight cents a bar. Helen asked the clerk if he would sell her three bars for a quarter. He told her that he wasn’t in the habit of selling the soap that way, but that he would. Helen made the purchase and came tripping back to school rejoicing over her bargain. “CLASS”-IFIED ADS Wanted: A private secretary, who is skilled in all English work, especially in writing themes.

Graham so he can finish the history lesson. f C X THE BRONCO 1020 ) WISE AND OTHERWISE How do you imagine a teacher feels when a girl delicately rouged, comes to school with a picture hat on her head and a beaded purse on her arm instead of her books? “Will you please be seated,” Miss Walker said To a boy in our class you see. His face turned red And so did his head For his name was Archie D. The Seniors had a “Senior Day” And it surely was a treat, To watch our Hi-School teachers And see how they could eat. Thank heaven! the crisis, The danger is passed And the dreaded “exams” Are over at last. Now I lay me down to sleep, All my lessons I pray to keep, Lest I forget before I wake I pray the Lord an “A” I’ll make. A strange thing happened the other day, That caused an awful scare; Sarah Leverett was in her car, But “Sammie” wasn’t there. “Hush, little Freshie, don’t you cry, You’ll be a Senior, by and bye.” ( X THE BRONCO 1920 XT - If you are a Freshman, the world laughs at you. If you are a Senior, the world laughs with you. “Freck” Williams says that owing to the moist condition of the weather his father is in the market for a submarine to plant his cotton with. EXPRESSED GEOMETRICALLY Proposition: If you love your girl, she loves you. Given: You love your girl. To Prove: She loves you. Proof: “All the world loves a lover” (Shakespeare.) Your girl is all the world, (to you.) (evident.) Therefore, your girl loves a lover. And you are a lover. Therefore, your girl loves you. —Q. E. D. A RECIPE FOR MAKING “A’S” Take one cupful of love for the subject, a good quantity of fresh air and sleep, one pound of cramming, one pound of resolution, one pound of tact, two quarts of midnight oil, one ounce each of inspiration, perspiration, and desperation. Mix thoroughly and add another pound of ambition and borrow enough of the milk of human kindness from the faculty to mix it. Seiwe hot on a report card. Take us back to the school room, The dear, old school room, The musty, old school room that We loved so well. tttv+tll SANITARY PLUMBING We have installed the plumbing in the majority of the best homes in Denton.
