The council consists Of pupils and teachers, Whose minds coincide With lawyers and preachers. Five youths and five beauties Were chosen to serve, With five trusty teachers Of unassailable nerve. A constitution was made— With a preamble too. That looked to be A-l., Except to a few. The legislative and executive With the aid of the .iudicial Take such a firm stand, That it is not seducible. With the co-operation of the students It has started to climb. With the advice of our teachers It works like a rhyme. —P. Charles Laborn—L-ll FOREWORD On these pages which are to follow, we have collected bits of school life, which we hope reflect the outstanding features of the school year. If, as the sun dial, this counts only the sunny hours of school life; if in future years pleasant recollections of High School days return; if you love and cherish memories of this year; if, in short, we have suc-i ceded in making this a veritable memory book of 1923. then our efforts have not been in vain. q Bronco DEDICATION Because we admire unselfishness, determination, perseverance and all other attributes that make a strong, pleasing personality, we, the staff members of this edition of the Bronco of Denton High School, lovingly dedicate this volume of our annual to one who embodies these qualities, and who has made this Bronco possible through such character.

CALHOUN, Principal Denton High School Since 1920 « DENTON CITY SCHOOLS Prior to eighteen hundred and eighty-three there were no free schools in Denton County. The early schools were “subscription schools.” They were generally three-month schools, taught in the summer months and called summer-schools. The common subjects only were taught, such as reading, writing, spelling, and arithmetic. The students paid from one dollar and a quarter to one dollar and a half tuition, and would spend the entire day in the scholastic institution. Later, a series of schools were taught in the Masonic Hall, and gradually were improved until they were called high schools. They finally gave way to the public free schools. In the summer of eighteen hundred and eighty-two, school bonds were sold and the first school building was erected. The struclure was a three-story brick building and cost about fifteen thousand dollars (the proceeds of the bond sale). In this building, a four-month school was taught in eighteen hundred eighty-four. The school fund would not justify a longer term. The school of the following year had five hundred pupils, and the enrollment reached five hundred and seventy during the following three years. About six years later, the faculty was composed of thirteen teachers. A period of three more decades has passed, and on the campus of the old John B. Denton college now stands the Denton High School. In addition to it there are four ward schools—the Robert E. Lee, the Stonewall Jackson, the Sam Houston, and the Fred Douglas (colored) school. The total enrollment of the schools now is two thousand two hundred, of that number seven hundred twelve are in High School. There are forty-two teachers in the City Schools with nineteen in the High School. The High School enrollment has grown so rapidly that a new and larger building is needed. It is hoped that within the next few years a junior school may be established.

Fell to the lowly earth, A tired, careworn, lonely man, Sat silent hv his hearth. Around him, wealth and luxury. But love was nowhere by. He sighed and ’rose to stroll alone Beneath God’s weeping sky. lie held his face up to the heavens— The raindrops kissed his brow; Each gently told the man that God Loved him, and why, and how. A message full of love and hope The raindrops bear to man. They reinspire him to live on, And do what good he can. —Ruby Ernst—lf-11 - £K ? lcpa Bronco J. D.

Some were heard and some were seen, And some were even both; For then, you know, we were so green That others did us loathe. We did not know Miss Farris then, Or even Miss Brashears, And Mr. Calhoun was na’ken For which we all weep tears. But gradually by work so sound We became Sophomores; A wiser bunch could not be found Though Solomon opened the doors. Our teachers now we better knew, And some we’d learned to love; Not only those selected few Which we have named above, But also to others just as true We’d give our hand-(less glove). In High School stunts we took more joy, Now we belonged without alloy. The third year juniors brave and bold. We climbed the ladder all; And took the new build’ for the old And changed our Study Hall. The Prom’ that year-our greatest joy; To get the money an ordeal, But Iceland Cakes we sold ugh, oy, 'Til most we’d rather stay and steal. Since to be Seniors was our plan, We worked with quite a will; And hoped that future Juniors, seeing our span, Would climb the self same hill. 1c£X Bnoaco i The Senior Class History (Continued) And now tin glorious end is come We’re Seniors one and all, And we don’t feel e’en half so hum As when we weren’t so tall. The boys their pantaloons have lengthened, And, also, girls their skirts ( ?) The way that Paris styles they strengthen Sometimes it almost hurts. But Seniors we were anyway, And if you'll just be still We’ll tell you it is not all play But takes some skill and will. That Boy Next Door That hoy what lives next door to us, Has just got more nice things, He’s got a kite without a tail And lots of top-lass strings. lie’s got a knife without a blade, And glass of every sort. lie’s got a great big hunk of tar— He’s even got a wart. You’d never think he had so much, ’Cause he is awful poor. 0, gee! 1 wish that 1 could be That hoy what lives next door. Verna Cox—H-11 —Ruby Ernst—H-11 DHS • 'X ic I ; Bronco Ci.ikkor!)

That’s amaking the sunshine everywhere.” • Verne Carrington—Verne is another who had to resist a great temptation, that of straying off into hard work. Freedom to Verne is a kind of rank and privilege. Stella Brim—Stella has as her main policy “Laugh and the world laughs with you.” Keep it up Stella, it works just fine. Rhea DaLee- Rhea is an excellent friend and a fine musician. The Orchestra as well as the entire school will miss her next year. Carl Storrie—Carl is cne of the deepest thinkers of the mid-term class. He spends much of his time counting up the interest on the international debt. Frances Coca.nougher—Frances is a fine friend, popular student, and, from what we can judge, a first-class foot-ball enthusiast. Elaine Smoot—Elaine was an old maid in the class play, but we venture she will make some man a good cook and housekeeper. Roy Rice—Roy is a splendid classmate and a true friend. Old D. H. S. has lost one of her most loyal supporters in his graduating. Rorhie I). Foster—There’s a Buick in the Foster family, w’hich Robbie D. used to take lots of us ‘‘airing in. We’ll miss her (and incidentally her car) next year. Helen Bailey—Helen is a class favorite, genial, and good natured; a firstclass student who does all things well, and excells in making friends. Elmore Hayes—The boy who is always good-natured is hard to find, but Elmore is one •who rarely loses his temper. Ji’Lia Williams—Julia has about a semi-annual attack of good intentions, but successfully downs all ambitions for a good time. Lorkna Puckett—Lorena is one of our prima-donnas. She is ever cheerful and happy and has an excellent voice. Maud Lara more—Maude is one of the best basket-ball players in north Texas But she is so modest and bashful you’d never know it. J. D.

Otis Tahor—Otis always seems very interested in something, with his thoughts centered (n some subject, but what or whom he thinks about, no cne ever knew.

Frank Bki.ken— “Franco” is one of our best football players and was rising to “stardom” in that sphere of existence.

We are glad to have him in the '2Z graduating class. Lois Perryman—Lois and gloom just can not associate together For that reason she has made many friends in High School. Frances Rednick—Frances is the girl with a decided sense of hur. or. If you know her, you just can t help but like her.

Machine Kirby—Maurine is a girl who hides all her worries and troubles, if she has any We certainly do like her and wish her many happy days Paul Cochran—We wonder why Paul does not belong to any organizations. We feel sure it is because he does not like to take the time that he feels should be devoted to his studies. (?) Geneva Coleman—Geneva has been with the ’23 class for two years. She is an amiable friend, a good class mate and a bright student. Lillian Paxton—Speaking of beautiful bobbed hair, look at Lillian's.

He is one of the schools most brilliant orators; he is easily convinced on this score. Ruth Price—When one needs someone to cheer him, Ruth is the one to talk to. We have admired Ruth for her constancy and fidelity. Cloe Ramsey—Cloe is another of our natural humorists. One can not be officially graduated without knowing Cloe.

Mary Baird—Quiet, unassuming Mary—we all like her She is a first-class student who does everything well Rak Edwards—Rae has spent most of his high school life with us. A boy with such perseverance as Rae has is sure to succeed. Thelma Gray—Thelma is so quiet, she is very seldom heard. But she speaks enough to make good grades.

Thelma Chambers—“Did you ever stop to think? — Yes, once — w'hat did you think about? — Well-er-er (bashfully)—Thelma Chambers.' Brice Pettie—Brice is one of the deep-thinkers of the Spring term class and worries his mind with all the big problems of the times. He should hire a professional w’orrier to handle all of his thoughts. Oneita Pratt—Oneita is another of the fair lassies, who could not resist the temptation, and had her hair bobbed. We don’t blame you, Oneita, because we had the same thing done ourselves. Leona Payne—Leona is another girl who does not worry much Her philosophy is Put your troubles in the bottom of your heart, close the lid, and then sit down on it.

Rubik Copp—Quiet, unassuming Rubie, the proud possessor of a gentle nature. We wish for her a continuation of the success she has nad in High School. Vita Buck—Vita is a rather quiet girl and very studious. Wholesomeness is her strong point. If any of us get the finer things out of life, Vita will get her share. Eugene Hufford—Eugene liked High School so w’ell he wouldn’t leave us this year. We are glad he likes us enough to remain another year. Rachel Dean—Rachel is an earnest worker and a thoughtful student. The old saying; Still water runs deep is very true of Rachel. Fairy Doak— Bill is another of the members of our class who has never been boy struck. No sir, she has always kept her eys on the High Seniors and would look the other way whenever a Low Senior would pass! DHS 1L c h.e Bronco Mildbeo Squires—Mildred does not do her studying by fits and starts but steadily and conscientiously This characteristic is sure to win success for her.

Although she has been with us only a year, we count her as one of Denton High’s best students. Evelyn Zkiske— Evelyn is one of our most brilliant students. She is all that the name implies. Frances Young—Frances is one of Denton High’s most enthusiastic supporters. Her name is Jo, but she’s called Frances for short. Jewel Nauglk—Jewel’s sedate conventional air is a thing that has baffled us all. We understand she likes Texans, especially if they are from West Texas. Kvchel Davis—A musician, a fine friend, and a loyal supporter of D. H. S.. that’s Rachel. We all like her. Frances Smith—Here is a girl that never ivorries about anything but English, and worries about that very little.

Oma Roark—Oma has been through these four years of High School with us. and we have learned she is a true friend. Beulah Ri.ney—Beulah is so quiet and unassuming that few know her. but those that do, love her Lacy Gatewood—We understand that Lacy is intensely interested in the prolongation of school hours. He is one of the most widely ‘red’ boys in school. Alyne Key—Tlie whole school, envies Alyne’s grades—A’s and A plus’s and then some. She’s a sure friend, if you just know her. She is an asset anywhere. Helen Bulbrook—Our vocabulary is not sufficient to express our admiration for Helen, a studious and demure little maiden. Clark Darnall—Clark is one who, realizes the necessity of recognizing the prosaic seriousness of life and the danger of abandoning himself to the vague dreams and unsubstantial illusions of youth. (?) Josie Bell Fenwick—Josie Bell is another whom Denton Hi is proud to have. She is a friend, to all, a good class-mate, and an industrious worker.

Robert Welch—“I am going to fight it out on this line (English) if it takes all and every summer.” Alleen Wright—Now if we had the time and space, we could write a book about Alleen. But we haven’t, so to make it short, we say she’s ’’MAGNIFICIENT.” Isabel Thomas—Some call her pretty, some call her attractive, some call her sw’eet; she's all this and more. lo£LQ Bronco Dorthy Voight—We think Dorthy would be the star tennis player in Africa. We base our belief on the fact that they do not play tennis in that part of the world. James Sim muxs—Nothing disturbs his piece of mind. We wonder if James believes in Wordsworth's philosophy of education. Mary Snyder— I came; I saw; she conquered. One day we overheard this said in school. Funny, huh? Myra Ric®—1Talking is Myra's favorite pastime, and asking questions, too. We don’t know what she talks about, but if we did we wouldn’t tell. Mary Yancey—Just a gallon of pep compressed into a quart container; that’s Mary. One of our jolliest sports. Ruby Chapman—Ruby has a big heart and an amiable disposition—One that will enable her to meet the knocks of life. Annie Mae Sctton—We have never seen Annie Mae the least bit out of sorts. We are glad she likes us enough to return from Chattanooga to graduate with us. Verna Cox—Verna is a connoisseur of jokes. She is forever ’springing’ a new one, but what else can be expected from such a good-natured, jolly girl as she? Ruby Ernst—Ruby is a girl whose friendship we value; an excellent musician, a charming friend, and a talented authoress. Oliver Jones—Another of the big family of Jones. This is his first year with us in D. H. S. We wish him success in all his future years. Martha Hi nkle— And still we looked, and still our wonder grew, that one small head could carry all she knew. Norixe Norman—Norine is a very popular girl, but anyway who can resist her curly eyes and laughing brown hair? Damon Dean—Damon is one of our most prominent class-mates. He is a good speaker and declaimer and has a fine bass voice. Gena Orr—Gena is, we dare say, one of our most appreciated Seniors, because she has many friends. Gena is a genius at the gentle art of being genial. Ame Bass Smith—Ame Bass is not only one of our class beauties, but she is a thoughtful friend, and a charming girl. She is fond of per-Simmons. Berry Scott—Berry is a second Rudolph Vaselino. but he’s a good pal just the same. He can carry on an interesting confab. especially with the girls. Laura Snyder—Laura is so quiet that instead of making an announcement in Honor Study Hall she writes it on the board. Jimmie D. Blaine—Jimmie D. is very quiet in the class-room, but when she is with a bunch, O, my, she’s almost as loud as her sister, if that is possible. (?) Mablk Terry—Mable is one of the few blondes in our class, but that distinction is not the reason the teachers became alarmed about her hard (?) work. Willie Miles—Talk about the ladies’ smiles and wiles; there's nothing like Willie’s Paris styles. Berta Mae Norman—Ha, Ha, That is the way to begin this write-up for here is Dame Laughter herself. Berta Mae’s jolly disposition has made many friends for her. Machine Parks—Here we have the original mind changer. Maurine’s mind is like the sands of the desert, here one day and there the next. Olivia Perryman—Olivia has always proved herself a loyal Senior. What more could be said to her credit? CLASS PROPHECY Here lies the city; Raucous, Clawing steel fingers greedily skyward. Vast altar of avarice—the city. And here, years ago, came my friends. For here. Among the mazed coilings of commerce and progress, In this conglomerate. This medley of complex faiths and strange ethics that men call the city, They, my friends Sought to found Utopia. They were young. Many ways the city opened before them, And every way was a challenge. Many things they sought— Not altogether selfish. For some sought Service— Fame, and power, and riches. Here. In the city, was Fame. Plaudits and pageantry! Fame, with the splendor and radiance of far castles; As elusive as shadows on water, Beckoning. And here was Power. Ah. Power! Robed with authority, vested with potentiality. Sitting on the shoulders of many. And here was Riches. Gold. Gold made the city; Now it casts a saffron tinge over the packed biuldings, the hurrying crowds; It is a blessing and a blight— And they sought gold. Some sought Service; To help others, to make others more happy. These, for a while, came nearest of all to founding Utopia. Swift passed the years. Shadow of steel, shadow of stone, shadow of asphalt. Where, now are their dreams— Ah! Hard is the city. City of promise, city of hope, and city of disillusionment For they have failed, and now. Amid the shadows of the city, I see them. Some of them happy, And others sad. Disappointments. Successes and hopes and visions, all Have met them. • Dreams realized; Hopes blasted and blighted and withered; Crowned with fame, Draped with glory and honor; But all, all have failed— None have founded Utopia. It is easy to see why. They move in the same ruts as their fathers. Mechanically, Man has advanced by leaps and strides; Mentally, in other ways, He has not. He is still moving, slowly, slowly. Upward; Up from his Piltdown and Neanderthal beginnings. And these my friends were separated. Separated by instinct and training, By policy and religion. But they are moving, And some day, Far distant. They will realize their dream; Brotherhood! A world brotherhood in which there are no political feuds. No blood and racial hatreds. No grasping Capital, nor whining Labor; But a brotherhood. A brotherhood Wherein a man is neither Catholic nor Protestant. Mohammedan nor Buddhist, But a friend to every other man. When that is reached; When man perceives that his country, and ideas, and religion Are no better than the next man’s country, and ideas, and religion, Then We shall found Utopia. °(f 2 lc i} Bronco CLASS WILL Know all men by these presents, that we. the Senior Class of 1923. of the Denton High School. In Denton County. State of Texas, which is most decidedly on the map. being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do hereby make this our last will and testament, hereby revoking all promises by us at any time heretofore made, or mayhaps carelessly spoken one to another as the thoughtless words of an idle hour: 1. It is our will and desire that Junior class pay all debts that may have been incurred by the Senior class before its departure from the High School. 2. The Senior Class does hereby bequeath to that contemptible class of Juniors all the rights and privieges heretofore held by the Seniors. 3. To the Juniors, the Seniors reluctantly relinquish their right for the big (?) desks in Study Hall 24, and their chapel-seats in the balcony. 4.

To the Junior Class, the Seniors bequeath their super-human knowledge, their acknowledged leadership in school, and their unsurpassable intellect. 9. To the Junior Class is left the love, honor, and respect, which every other class in the school has for the Seniors. The following personal bequeaths may seem but trifles, but we hope they may be accepted, not as worthless things lavishly thrown away because we no longer keep them, but as valuable assets to those who might receive them, and a continued reminder of the generosity of heart displayed in our free and full bestowal: Elmore Hayes and Malcolm Stroup will their power of arguing to the established firm of Owsley Jones and Alfred Evans.

James Knox leaves to Iawrence Poole his “now. stor or I'll slap you on the wrist., attitude. J G c lc io Bronco 1 The Juniors of Twenty-Three (With Apologies) In the year of nineteen twenty-one. Several infants about the High School were seen to run. These were the freshmen, in their books very wise; Also brilliant In all things otherwise. That Is our own estimation. Though we're told we were the pests of the nation. Our Latin almost scared us to death. While English made us gasp for breath. Science and math we could not understand. And History was not perfectly grand. So it is no wonder the teachers made a fuss Over who was to keep study hall for us Some of those were not very strong, Dropped out one by one as the term went along; To come back the next term for another try. We sincerely hope they all got by. But our class by far the great number Passed, by doing its part without a grumble. We have had frolics and troubles galore. Every Thursday Mr. Calhoun would roar, “Don’t you freshmen throw that chalk away.’’ When it was the Seniors that did it every day. And when one of our lassies, or lads Saw the conduct book he always seemed very sad. As Sophomores we stood on higher ground. When nineteen twenty-two rolled around And doubts assailed us never But that wFe were bigger than ever. But when there was something to be done; Our class was alwrays ready for work or fun. And now' as Juniors pray believe us. We are going to do much more than previous; For if there is anything an honest effort can do. Our class is ever willing to see it through. And already we think with glee. Of the time soon when Seniors we shall be.

V. STANTON Coach of Athletics “Eel came to us from Baylor University, and although he came just before the season began we can truthfully say that he has produced one of the best foot ball teams that Denton High School has ever had. His good nature, sincerity, and ability have won for him a place in the heart of every member of the foot-ball team. And we, the members of the foot-ball team, because we do appreciate his efforts affectionately dedicate this section of the Bronco to him. J = kc IcQg Bronco REVIEW OF SEASON - On Sept. 29, Plano came here for the opening game of the season; although we had been practicing but a short while, we played in Mid-season form. By putting forth every effort, we won from the much heavier team by the score of 6 to 3. October 6, 1922, is a day to be long remembered in Denton High. On this day we journeyed to the town of Sherman and engaged the High School in the second game of the season. Although playing a much heavier team and away from home, we emerged victor after a hectic strug- gle. With the exception of the Oak Cliff game, never did the team fight harder than in this contest October 13. the team from Rockwall invaded the Camp of the Denton '‘Eels. The ‘‘Eels'’ proved too slimy.” They slipped out with the big end of the score. October 2’0-—On this day the annual classic with Gainesville was played at Denton with the usual result—a Gainesville defeat. They came dow'n with high hopes, band playing, and balloons flying only to return as a funeral procession. October 27 saw the Eels” meet their first defeat. The result was in doubt until the last w'histle. (!!!????..). November 3 was the high point in the team's season. Never again during the season did the team reach the fighting pitch they achieved that day. As a team the Eels” played a better game than did Oak Cliff. Oak Cliff proved too WEAKLEY. Denton scored more points on the Cliff Dwellers” than all their opponents combined, have in the past two years. On Nov. 10 we left for Garland. When we returned we were much wiser than wfe were when we left, for Garland had given us a drubbing, that although very severe, was not a reflection on the team, for we wfere playing the town of Garland and not the Garland High School. Nov. 24 saw' D. H. S. once more stung by defeat at the hands of Mineral Wells. The one and only cause of our defeat was Tubby” Brewster, the 230 pound baby, who was on the State High School Team that year. On Thanksgiving we went to McKinney for the final game of the season, and although we were beaten we played a good brand of ball, and therefore do not regret our defeat. In all of the games true sportsmanship was shown, whether we lost or won. I 1 3 Bronco FRANK BELKIN Franko” was our center and mainstay in the line, he was always in the game, doing his best. As a center, Frank was reliable, and as a defensive player, he was as good as the best. It was a misfortune for him as wrell as for the team when he was injured just as the season was well under play. Frank will not be back next year. JI'DGE GAMBILL “Judgie” sure did play. He was a hard and willing worker and certainly showed his ability to play. Judge made things hot when he showed his determined grin, and got in and played. It is a great joy that he will return and we expect great things of him next season. PAUL COCHRAN “Pauline” was our “big tackle” and he sure lived up to his name. Paul was a sure fighter and would mix in with the best of them. He was taken ill about the middle of the season and was forced to be out a few games, but anyway his good nature, earnestness and ability easily won a sweater. He will not be back next year. IcQg Bronco ELMER TAMPKE “Tampkee” could do every thing but punt, but he did not need to do that, for his speed and aggressiveness easily won for him one of the prized sweaters. He is a good n.an anywhere you put him. And because he was just “getting right” this year, we expect great things of him next year. JACK CRAWFORD “Fool” w'as our comedian, and he played ball the same way. He was our playing fool. He could be depended on to open the holes, and if the man came that way, he would gain. Jack was also our man who kicked off the mound. We surely do hate to see Jack leave us as he will not be back next year. JOHN NEAL “Handsome” was a little late in starting this year, but he surely did pore it on them” when he did start. He played tackle and lived up to his position; for as a tackier, he was fierce. He will be back next year, and we expect great things of him because of his excellent showing last year. lc£Ig Bronco DELMA LIGON “Delmii’ was the “big guy that stumbled through the line”—and he surely did. He was one of our best ground gainers, besides being one of the best defensive men. Delma also shared in the punting. He will be back next year, and as this was his first year of high school ball, we expect him to do good. R. F. WATSON R. F. played his first high school game this year, but his size, his good faith, and his ability won for him a place on the first team, and he surely deserved it for he was one of the best defensive men we had. as w'ell as being fine on the offensive. He will not be hack next year and his place will be hard to fill. CARL MILLER Humpty“ is without doubt one of the best nds that has ever played on the local grid-ron. He was in every play from start to finish, and was a deadly tackier. It was very seldom that he missed a pass. He will not be back next year but wherever he gjes, he will be a credit to the team. DHS 1c£Lq Bronco CARL STORRIB “Scotshie” made his first attempt to play football this year, and he surely made a success of it, for his sameness at once won the admiration of the fans. As a pass receiver, Carl was good, and as a defensive and ne was the best. He always got the man or the interference. He will not be back next year. ROY RICE ‘•Stubbs” came to us from Gainesville and we are surely glad he came, for as an offensive man he was good and as a defensive player he was better. Roy always had the pep. We owe much of this year’s success to Roy He will not be back next year and we shall miss his strength in the line. BRICE PETTIE “Sister” played his first high school game this year, but from the way he played guard you w’ould think he was a veteran. He was both a good offensive and a good defensive player. He was a great strength to our line, and from the way he played this year, we expect great things from him next year. . - lc£ia Bronco HUBERT RICHARDS Sqeegee” was our “threat” man. that is he could carry the ball well; he could kick; he could pass; in other words he could do every thing that was necessary Hubert had the size, the nerve, the brains, and every thing it takes to make a great ball player; xnd we would like to see him play some more, but he will not be back next year. RICHARD WISDOM “Hap” was our captain and he ifiade a good one. He was always in the game, fighting hard and putting the spirit Into his players. Besides being the best ground gainer we had he was our punter,” his 1 icks averaging well around fifty yards. He will not be back next year, but with a little tiaining he will make a great player, and the members of the team wish him the best of luck. JAMES KNOX Shorty” was our big guard that tore up the opponent's line. He played in every game of the season and was a very dependable man at all times. When it came to making holes, Shorty” was the best, and when it came to holding that line” he was better. He will not be back next year, and he will give any college man a race for his position c£hq lopg Bronco VERNE CARRINGTON “Carrie was the smallest man on our team this year, but he made up for his size by the way he played end. Verne was a good tackier and a good pass receiver. He practically won the Sherman game for us. He will not be back with us next year. JOE GAMBILL “Jody” was a wonderful quarter-back. And his punts—they were even celebrated in one of our football songs. As to determination Joe was a paragon of grit and “stickability” and if you saw him when he went in to play his face assured you that he was going to “play ball.” We are more than glad that he will be back next year Summary of the Foot-ball Season Summing up the past season, in foot ball, we can say that we had one of the most successful seasons we have had in years. It was only when we were pitted against the strongest teams of the state that we were defeated. At the beginning of the season, we had very few experienced men from which to build a team, but under the good instructions of Coach Stanton, together with the co-operation and hard work of th e individual players the Denton High School produced a team that would do honor to any High School in Texas. The Schedule for the past season was as follows: September 29 October 6 October 13 at Denton at Sherman at Denton Denton 6 Denton 6 Denton 22 Plano 3 .. Sherman 0 Rockwall 6 October 20 at Denton Denton 21 Gainesville 0 October 28 at Denton Denton 13 Masonic Home November 3 at Denton Denton 26 Oak Cliff 41 November 10 at Garland Denton 0 November 24 at Mineral Wells Denton 6 Mineral Wells November 30 at McKinney Denton 7 McKinney 27 lcpg Bronco A Toast To one who has the pep and the skill.

The season opened Jan. 19, at Masonic Home. Our girls were defeated by a score of 7 to 32. The team was handicapped by being forced to play on a small outdoor court. Very few of our girls had played in a match game before, but they came home with the determination to work harder than ever. The next game was to have been played with Celina on Jan. 26, hut they refused to come and forfeited the game 2 to 0. February 16, our team showed a great improvement and defeated Masonic Home. The score was 12 to 5. I). II. S. won a game from the undefeated Sanger team February 20. The score was 14 to 9. The following Friday, Sanger came to Denton for a return game, and was defeated again by the score of 8 to 5. The next game was at Ft. Worth, with North Ft. Worth High, on March 9. This was also an undefeated team, but Denton in this game defeated them 14 to 13. The team made a trip to Waco where they played March 16. Although they worked hard to the finish, they were defeated by a score of 2 to 35. On March 23, we evened the count with Polytechnic by defeating them 7 to 5. A return game was to have been played with North Ft. Worth March 30, but thinking they were unable to take a second defeat, they forfeited the game 2 to 0. To take a string of new players and make a team that would uphold the traditions of old Denton High in girls’ athletics was the problem that faced the girls’ coach tliis season. But if anybody thought it too big a problem he just didn’t know Miss Owens. She had the pep, the skill, the energy, and the “never-say-die” spirit that put the season over with a glorious finish. She was able to inspire her team and the student body with true sportmanship, because she is herself, in its broadest sense, a true sport.

When Freshmen we were, we learned the art Of saying the verbs and declensions by heart; Also the constructions we always knew. For if we didn't our A’s were few. Then in our Sophomore year we learned The wars of Caesar and the honors he earned. Our number decreased as the months rolled by. Until there were very few left to try. As Juniors we learned of Cicero, How to the Forum he would go And stir the hearts of his countrymen. With speeches and laws that should have been. Now in our Senior year we read Of how Aeneas o’er the seas was led, And, having wandered far and near. He finally returned to his country dear.

SPANISH Spanish is one of the most interesting subjects taught in Denton High School, and its fast growing popularity can he readily testified to by the one hundred and fourteen pupils enrolled in one low ten, two high ten, one low eleven, and two high eleven classes of this department. The work is made more interesting by various outside influences. Miss Mattie Pittman lectured to the class one morning on Mexico, its conditions, problems, customs, and prospective future. A large group of Spanish students saw “Blood and Sand,” a picture made interesting by its Spanish setting. The Spanish class gave an interesting program in chapel one morning. The entertainment was composed of several songs sung in Spanish, a short play, games, etc., all of which were rendered in Castillian Spanish. The class work is intensified by the dramatization of conversations, stories, and plays that appear in the regular course. As viewed by a student of this course, Spanish is one of the most interesting and fascinating subjects offered in the school—and it’s easy. Miss Mizell is at the head of this department. She was assisted the first term by Miss Eva Hatch. LATIN The work of the Latin department is very interesting. The Latin students made several trips to the Normal, where Mr. Brown, of that institution, gave interesting and beneficial lectures, lie made very favorable remarks about the enthusiasm and interest shown in the High School department. The different classes made several charts, showing the relation of English words to Latin, charts comparing modern and Roman uniform in soldiery, and modern and Roman hair dress, and a map of Haul, showing Caesar’s campaign. Other interesting work of this nature was done. The Latin students, who are organized into a Latin Club, presented a very interesting play of the Roman gods, to the school at one of the regular chapel periods. The students of Latin are enrolled in one low eight, two high eight, one low nine, two high nine, one high ten, and one high eleven classes. This department is conducted by Misses Hicks and Tevis. gQ 2 Bnoaco A Short History of the Department of Mathematics The mathematics department of the Denton High School was organized in 1906 by Mr. A. Logan with himself as heat! of the department. He taught all the mathematics at first, which was Alegbra and Plane Geometry and Trigonometry. In 1917 he added Bookkeeping to the course. In 1922 he was supplanted by Mr. Ben Pierce, who is head of this department at present. Miss Angel and Mrs. Norman are the instructors in Alegbra. Students are required to take two years of Alegbra. For each year an affiliated credit is given. Miss Angel, Miss Tevis, and Mr. Calhoun teach Plane Geometry. Only one year of this is required and one affiliated credit is given. Mr. Pierce teaches both Solid Geometry and Trigonometry. One affiliated credit is given for one-half year of Solid Geometry and one-half year of Trigonometry. Solid Geometry and Trigonometry are elective subjects. Mr. Pierce also teaches Bookkeeping. This is an elective subject, and one affiliated credit is given for one year’s work in it. The History Department of Denton High has an enrollment of six hundred and fifty pupils of the total seven hundred and fifteen. The courses offered are Ancient History, Medieval and Modern, English History, American History, Civics, and Economics. All of these offer one affiliated credit while Economics offers one-half unaffiliated. The requirement in history for graduation is only two years, but many will graduate with five and some with five and a half years credit. Map books and note books are required in every course of history. In the lower grades current event reports are required. Source books are used to a great extent in history, but more so in Civics and Economics. The Civics classes have trials, debates, visits to the jail and the factories and mills of town. They often enjoy talks from capable men of the town. These visits and talks make the work more practical and interesting to the pupils. Miss Farris, head of this department, is assisted by Misses Brashears, Hicks, Speer. Butler, and Henderson. Department ENGLISH The English teachers are considered by the rest of the faculty the most unsociable teachers in school. Why? Because when the other teachers gather in the rest room and discuss their experiences and views, the English teachers are laboriously red-inking themes or book-reports. Tn the English department, there are five teachers: Misses Ethel Simmons, Eugenia Henderson, Eva Hatch. Nora Lee Brown, and Kate Owens, head of this department. This year for the second time, American Speech Week was observed. The third week in November was set apart in the interest of Good English. Miss Hornbeak made an interesting talk in chapel on “English as a Tool.” Every student in this department was asked during the year to write an essay on assigned subjects concerning “Fire Prevention.” Another activity, to vary and vitalize the work has been the preparation of a section for the Denton Record Chronicle. Once a week the news of school happenings is written by the students and published in the paper. This work, other than being interesting, is helpful and instructive to the students. SCIENCE The Science Department of the High School is well organized and ably managed under the direction of Mr. H. V. Stanton. At present five courses are offered in the science department. They are: Chemistry, Physics, General Science, Biology, and Physical Geography. Since the introduction of Vocational Home Economics into the High School, Physics has become a course in the department, and Physical Geography retains one-half credit. These Science courses are offered in regard to the grades in school. Physical Geography and General Science are offered for the first year students; Biology for the second year, Chemistry for the third; and Physics for the fourth. Biology is the only course which is not affiliated with the State Department of Education. Affiliation is being sought, however, and is practically assured by the end of the school year. The faculty of this department is composed of Messrs. Stanton and Taylor, and Miss Speer. Under their able direction, this department has progressed rapidly, and is at present one of the strongest in the school. ; q f . Bronco HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economics Department of Denton High School lias been steadily advancing. The Domestic Art Course now consists of Clothing I., with its related subject Design 1.; and Clothing II., with its related subject Home Management. The Domestic Science course consists of Foods 1., with Physiology; and Foods II., with Home Nursing. Miss Lorene Hennen is head of the Domestic Art Course, and Miss Ruth Aikin is head of the Domestic Science Course. Practically all of the related subjects are taught by C. 1. A. girls with Miss Jensen, Miss Smith, and Miss Hamilton, as supervisors. All of these subjects are affiliated and two credits are received alter taking either Clothing, or Foods, with their related subjects, for the entire nine months. STUDENT SELF GOVERNMENT Student Self Government has made its novitiate appearance into Denton High School this last year, having been voted in by the students themselves. Denton is proud of this forward step taken in her schools. As yet, the new system has not reached any degree of perfection—it is in its most trying and difficult period, the formative stage. But with the increase of the spread of its beneficial influence, and with the co-operation of the students and patrons of Denton High School, it is sincerely believed by all fair-minded and intelligent ] eo-ple that this system cannot develop otherwise than successfully. When the students voted self government into existence, they also elected the council members, consisting of five boys, five girls, and five members of the faculty. The following were elected: Ted Nowlin Clifford Bai.throp James Knox Joe Gamhil Ji'ikie Gamrii. Lavra Snyder Mary Snyder Frances Snyder Verna Cox Margaret Beyette Miss Hennen Miss Bctler Miss Brashears Miss Anuei. Mr. Stanton To successfully carry out their plans of work, the council members have divided their work into several divisions, with a special committee for each phase of their jurisdiction. These are specifically stated in the constitution. Student Self Government has reached a rather wide spread notoriety and nothing but the highest degree of success is expected to result from it. Wq lc£ig Broaco THE TENNIS CLUB This is the second year that the Tennis Club has been in action in the High School. Last year there were only girls in the Club and we played on a rented court at the Normal; but this year by the help of the P. T. A. we have two courts of our own. These courts are nearing completion now, and we are planning to have some thrilling tournaments among both hoys and girls. As spring approaches our hearts not only turn to love for the other fellow; but also to love for heating some other fellow in some clean, healthful sport, of which there is no better than tennis. Miss Ethel Simmons is the sponsor of this organization; and we owe her a great deal of credit for pushing the thing forward. The Girls’ Club of the Denton High School is one of the biggest, surest, and most responsible organizations in our school. This Club was organized last year by Miss Eva V. Hatch, a new teacher here; ami by her energetic and capable sponsorship it has not only kept its good standing as a Club, but has also gone forward in various branches which a mere onlooker would not realize. The work is divided into three groups; literary, dramatic, and welfare. We have been studying Shakespeare so much tins year that we feel familiar enough to call him Dill. We have also endeavored to keep the Club’s purse and the school’s mind and sense of humor replenished by the plays which we have given. We are taught to think not only of ourselves, but of others in our welfare work which is stressed in the There is also a social side of life as well as our other training in the Girls’ Club, as has been shown by the quality of our entertainments at different times. The biggest events in the social life of the Club are the Hallowe’en Party, and tlie Party celebrating the anniversary ot George Washington’s birthday, and the Annual Banquet which is always a big occurrence in the eyes of the Girls’ Club members. 1L THE GIRLS’ CLUB Club. 'XJxq lopg Bronco THE LATIN CLUB The I?. C. A. (Romani fives America) is practically a new organization in the literary society line of the High School. This Club was started with a great deal of pep and vim, and with the aim to understand and enjoy the people, customs, and ideals of the Romans in the time of our much beloved Caesar, Cicero, and Virgil. The Club’s membership is made up of the Latin students of the school. There have been several plays given at the regular Club meetings, and at the chapel exercise. To quite an extent, the study in the Club has been in the Old Roman Myths; and the plays have been based on various of these myths.

JEWELL PAULINE COPP—L-9 ! °$ c lc£}g Bronco THE GIRL SCOUTS The troop of High School Girl Scouts which has formerly been known as the Poppy Troop No. 11. has recently been reorganized as the Iris Troop. Miss Minta Angel, the former captain, resigned on account of conflicting duties and Miss Ruth Devall has taken her place, with Miss Angel as Lieutenant. The ideal unit and the keystone of the organization is the Patrol, consisting of eight girls who would naturally be associated as friends and schoolfellows. They are a self-selected and a self-governing little body, who learn through practical experiment, how to translate into democratic team-play their recreation, patriotic or community work, camplife, and athletics. The Iris Troop has four patrols, the Deer, Cardinal, White Dove and Silver Fox. Each member of the respective patrols is expected to be able to imitate, in some way the bird or animal after which her patrol is named, such as the whistle of the Cardinal, or the mourning of the Dove. A contest for attendance and new members is being held between the patrols; the losers are to entertain the winners with a banquet or hike. A real, true Scout abides by the following rules: 1. “A Girl Scout’s honor is to be trusted. 2. “A Girl Scout is loyal.” 3. “A Girl Scout’s dutv is to be useful and help others.” 4. “A Girl Scout is a friend to all. and a sister to every other Girl Scout.’’ 5. “A Girl Scout is courteous.” 6. “A Girl Scout is a friend to animals.' 7. “A Girl Scout obeys orders.” 8. “A Girl Scout is cheerful.” 9. “A Girl Scout is thrifty.” 10. “A Girl Scout is clean in thought, word, and deed.’’ The Scout symbol is the trefoil, which indicates the three-fold promise “On my honor, I will try: To do my duty to God and my Country; To help other people at all times: To obey the Scout Laws.’’ The Scout motto is: “Be Prepared,” and the slogan is: “Do a Good Turn Daily.” Every side of the girl s nature is brought out and developed by enthusiastic captains, who direct their games and various forms of training, and encourage team-work and fair play. Everyone is co-operating eagerly with this great recreational movement, which adds something to the life of the growing girl that heretofore has not been supplied.

The rooms were beautifully decorated in the class colors, purple and gold. Refreshments were served to about twenty-five guests. Ninth Grade Entertainments A Hallowe’en party for the ninth grade was given at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Fralin and many of the class were present. All were masked, and Evelyn McMurray was selected as the prettiest and best masked. One of the chief entertainments of the evening was a solo dance given by Miss Jewel Reeves. That the Denton County jail is a fine place to have a party was proved Friday, December the seventh, when Mrs. Aiken entertained the ninth grade class. The large front room of the jail furnished a delightful place for dancing and many other games. The sponsor for the class, Miss Hicks, was present and twenty-five dassmembers. Refreshments of hot tamalies, crackers and coffee were served. The High Nine Class was very enjovahly entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Orr, Saturday, January the twentieth.

Later a picnic was held at Egan’s pasture. Two trucks conveyed the picnickers to the place, and everyone declared that they had a fine time. The season closed with a weenie roast at Club Lake. About thirty juniors went late one Friday afternoon, and returned after supper. Berta Mae and Norine Norman entertained the class with a party at which the guests were dressed to represent some movie actors or actresses. Everyone professed a delightful evening. The Seniors “went Dutch” at a theater party, and followed the same plan at a swim at the “Cascade.” At Christmas Eugenia King delightfully entertained the class. Refreshments of nuts, apples, and pop-corn were served to a large number of guests. Miss Farris, of the Faculty, gave the Senior Class a “kid party.” Truly, this was one of the most enjoyable of all Senior gatherings. An easter-egg hunt was another of the Senior entertainments. James Simmons gave a party for the Seniors at his home. Interesting games were enjoyed; and delicious refreshments were served to a large crowd of guests.

He bowed his head down on his outstretched arms. Outside, jingle of chainmail. shouting of soldiers, neigh of horses; activity, ceaseless, unending. On every side, slowly, the ponderous draperied tents rose. The messenger shifted about nervously. “Is there an answer, sire?” Sir Geoffrey raised his head, and his eyes were eyes of pain. “No answer.” His clinched fingers tightened on the white square of parchment until the steel gauntlets bit into his knuckles The messenger left the tent. Motionless Geoffrey sat at the table, staring at the crumpled message in his hand. And thus the king found him. “Why sittest thou thus, Geoffrey? Be up and planning, man. Tomorrow morning we wrest Joffa from the infidel—and thou shall lead the charge.” “Nay, liege, not I.” said the knight. “Thou take the city, but 1-1 stay here.” “What!” And royal amazement blazed into royal wrath. Then, suddenly: “Thou’rt sick, Geoffrey. These eastern fevers— “No,” with a weary gesture. “Head this.” In the leaping, flickering light of the hanging torches the king read the words that sprawled blackly across the parchment. Slowly, almost gently, he laid his hand on the knight’s bowed shoulders. “When didst thou receive this?” “An hour ago.------A messenger she sent from England.---------1 put all my faith, all my trust, in her—and now she leaves me for another. Ask me not to go on, my liege. 1 cannot------.” Montfield!” The king’s voice rang with metallic clearness. Thou must, man! All my hopes repose in thee. Remember, thou art a sworn Crusader—thy oath—.” Sir Geoffrey sprang up My oath! The words slashed bitterly, fiercely, across the murky pallor of the shadowed tent. “What care I for my oath—or aught else?” “Sire!” The king seized Geoffrey’s arm in a grip that numbed it even beneath the shirt of chainmail. “If thou disobey me- I could have thee executed.” “As thy pleasure, liege,” said Geoffrey, with dull apathy “I care not” “Thou art a fool,” said the king kindly. ”1 meant it not. Thou actest like a child, Geoffrey. She is not worth it.” But the Crusader bowed his head again; and the king went to the doorway of the tent, gazing out across the far purple horizon, where the needle-like spires and minarets of Joffa were limned blackly against the setting sun, sardonically flinging Islam’s savage challenge across the distance to the mailed hosts of Christendom. Morning, and the tents looming hazily through a low-flung mist; crunch-crunch-crunch of sand under the hoofs of a flying roan; a dust covered rider that flung down from the saddle and strode to the tent whose upreared pennons bore the double Falcon of the Montfield clan. “A message for Sir Geoffrey of Montfield. From England.” - lo Bronco 0 TEMPLES OF FAITH (CONTINUED) Wearily the knight rose from the table. It was just as he tore open the scroll and unrolled the narrow strip of parchment that the sun broke through the mist, glinting from standards and shields, lighting the cross on the Crusaders right shoulder. Three times he read the message over before his dazed mind grasped its meaning. “—I wrote in a fit of anger—I send this message fast on the heels of the other— forgive—and fight for me—” Spoke the messenger. Geoffrey heard him but dimly, as from a distance “—and sends this as a token.” He gave to the knight a scarf, white, fragile, shining with hope and assurance The room swam round Sir Geoffrey. “Esther!” he cried aloud “Esther!” Tlu glinting blade of his sword sang exultingly as it whipped from his sheath and swung high. He threw back his head and laughed, joyously, uncontrollably, hysterically. Then, abruptly, he covered his face with his hands and wept. • • Even to this day, when the pomp and pageantry of the Crusades has sunk into the obscurity of forgotten things, in that sandy stretch of wasteland that rolls away to the north and west of Medina the deeds of Geoffrey of Montfield are traditional. And for long after the struggle was over, after the Christians had camped outside the walls of Jerusaleum, after the mighty Saladin and his mightier Acquitainian adversary had reached a treaty, and the steel clad army was gone, for long years the Saracens told of an unbelieving warrior that led the charge against Joffa and fought with almost the strength and courage of Melech Ric himself. “By al Qur’an! Never has surh bravery been seen!” • The night was come the city was taken With a group of his knights the king stood by the body of a Crusader whose right hand still grasped tenaciously the hilt of his shattered sword. In the other hand, torn, bloodstained, was a scarf; and when the king unclenched the stiff fingers he found a crumpled square of parchment. “Fight for me” . . . ‘The king rose from his knees. Sir Geoffrey lay still, as one who finds restful sleep. and on his face was a great peace. Ah, Geoffrey, never was knight better than thou. A true friend—a true lover— a true warrior,” muttered the king. “She was unworthy of thee.” But,” questioned a knight in surprise, this—?” he touched the tattered parchment. “Is false.” said the king slowly. “There was no other way—and I had to take Joffa. May God forgive me—I myself wrote that message and sent it to him.” —ALFRED EVANS lopg Bronco Ode To a Plum Blossom I. Thou art pure and fragrant and sweet.

Cavina, laughing. “But why have you selected me. from your entire class, to play?” asked a bewildered Marcia Warren. “I am sure there are some who could play much better than I. “Seriously. Marcia, I believe that you are the most accomplished muscian I have, 1 am not habitually given to complimenting my pupils, but in this instance, I feel pardoned in frankly expressing to you my opinion of your ability. “I was able to take a full nine-year conservatorial course in Russia, under Linvitch. himself. I have tried to teach as I was taught, but it has heen hard to impress upon my pupils the importance of technic. Linvitch, like all Russian musicians, believes that technic is the basis, the firm foundation, upon which all musical compositions should be built. He also delights in effective musical interpretations. “And so, Marcia, it is because of your observation of technic, and because of the sentimentality displayed in your renditions that I have chosen you to play before Linvitch.” “Oh, Mile. Cavina, how can I ever thank you enough? You are so good to give me this opportunity.” “Mv dear child, it is not I who have given you this opportunity, but you yourself. You have earned this honor because of the interest you have shown in your work. “Mile. Cavina, what would you have me play?” asked Marcia, remembering that if she would win the Linvitch prize, she must play better than any other competitor. Also she knew that the winning of the prize meant long hours of earnest practice. “Well,” replied Mile. Cavina, “1 have been thinking of letting you play Ruben-stein’s transcription of “Marche a la Turque” from Beethoven s “Ruines d Athene. A look of half surprise, half disappointment, crossed Marcia s face and she emitted a half-sounded, wondering, “0-oh.” Mile. Cavina caught the look on her pupil's face and smiled knowingly. “You are surprised that 1 have selected that piece for you to play on such noted occasion. I know you are thinking that I should give you a more advanced, a more difficult piece upon which to demonstrate your ability. “Do you know, dear, that the playing of a simple piece requires more skill than does the playing of a more advanced, or difficult I should say, composition? Now, “Marche a la Turque” is bv no means simple. True, you are capable of mastering more advanced music, but the possibilities of this selection are so great that I feel sure you would be able to render it in a manner that would be more than pleasing to Linvitch, himself.” As Mile. Cavina talked, the expression on Marcia's face changed to a look of wonder. “Would you please play it for nv? she asked “Well, dear, you know I usually do not play for my pupils; 1 want them to play their own interpretations of the music. I do not want them to copy my expression. But this time, I will play for you first as I want you to see for yourself the possibilities of this selection.’ DHS — G xc lopa Bronco THE WHITE HOT MUSICIAN (Continued) Mile. Cavina walked to the piano on the other side of the black and gold studio. She turned through a pile of music lying by the piano; finding the piece in question, she seated herself on the bench, opened and placed “Marche a la Turque” on the piano, and turning her face toward Marcia, she said, “Listen.” As the teachers’ fingers tout hed the keys and the first tones arose from the piano, the black and gold room faded from Marcia’s vision. Instead, she was standing on a high promontory overlooking the ruins of the once proud city of Athens. In the distance, she heard the approach of the Turkish army. The quick, martial steps of the men were first heard at a great distance. Then as the army drew nearer, the music grew louder. On and on came the vie torious army—louder ever came the triumphant music. Louder-louder-still on cam? the armv-until a great “frotissimo,” which marked the climax, had been reached. Then, as the army came—gradually—so it departed. Even after having passed from sight, the retreating army floated hack its triumphant strains. As Mile. Cavina played the last note, she turned to see the effect the nrusic had had upon Marcia. And what she saw was even more than she had hoped for. Marcia was leaning forward in her chair, her head tilted slightly back, her lips barely closed, her eves suffused with a look of awe-mingled wonder, and her hands, raised slightly from her lap, half opened with expe:tancy. “Well?” questioned Mile. Cavina as the last tones died away. “Oh.’’ cried Marcia with a start-—and vanished Athens faded and she was in the black and gold room. “Oh, it was--it was great—wonderful. 1 have often played that piece for my own amusement, but it never sounded like that.’ “Thank you,” accepted Mile- Cavina, laughing at the awed tone in which Marcia spoke. “Do you wish to play it?” “I could never play like that.” “Yes you can and you will. Have you ever, while playing this, felt as if you really saw the marching Turques?” “No, I haven’t.” “Then, that is why you have never felt the true sentiment of the music. In playing this, or anv piece for that matter, you must yourself have a clear conception of the sentiment of the composition, before the audien e can comprehend the underlyng meaning. Liszt, that great musician, said “If you would agreeably warm your audience, you must yourself be white hot,” and that is true. So it is with “Marche a la Tuique.’ If you would play it so that vou could convey the real thought or picture of this piece, then vou must yourself have a clear conception of the sentiment involved. Do you understand what I mean?” “Yes, I believe I do. You have created for ms a pi'lure that will never fade in my mind. Oh, if I could only create for others thet picture as you have for me, then I will be satisfied.” “I am sure you can, dear.” “I am certainly going to do my best,” declared the earnest pupil. She spoke with a voice full of determination. DHS gQ q Bronco THE WHITE HOT MUSICIAN (Continued) Marcia did her best. too. The days that followed were happ days for her. She had written to her father—an officer on a merchant marine —of her “good luck” as she said. Happy in his motherless daughter's fortune, Lt. Warren promised Marcia a conservatorial course under Linvitch, provided she won the Linvitch prize. “To please dad. To please dad—dear old dad,” whispered Marcia to herself as she practiced through the long hours. Her progress in mastering the number wts even greater than Mile. Cavina had expected. Her pupil could now pcrfe lly render the famous marche, bringing out unfalteringly all the tones, from the faintest “pianissimo” to the mast ponderous “fortissimo.” Mile. Cavina was as excited as Marcia as the great day for the contest drew near. Although she tried—and sue ceded to a degree—to quell the girl's ex -dement. her own agitation rose. When the day arrived, Marcia was unusually happy, for her father was coming home for the contest. As Marcia waited in her pale blue satin dress, she was unusually pretty; her fair hair curled bewit hingly around her face; azure lights danced merrily in her eyes; her lips and cheeks glowed with youth and health. The door bell rang. Marcia welcomed the sound as joyous. She rr.ii down the big oak stairs, and breathlessly opened the door, expe ting to see her father. Instead, there stood a messenger boy. “Tellygrain, lady.” “For me?” questioned the disappointed girl. “For Miss Marcia Warren,” read the boy. “I am she,” and Marcia took the message, and signed her name. Stepping into the drawing room, she half trembled as she opened the envelope. She read: “Your father died of heart failure on train. Conductor Enning.” Dazed. Marcia laid the death message on the table. She did not cry, she was too stunned for that. Her mind refused to dwell upon one subje t long enough to comprehend the truths that it presented. She failed to bring herself to the realization that her father was dead—that she was an orphan. SIowlv, she turned and walked from the room, through the front door, and out into the starry night. Aimlessly, the girl wandered down the street. She walked on and on, she knew not where; n truth, she was unconscious of the fact that she was walking at all. Turning at several corners suddenly, brought her before the Auditorium. Still dazed and unconscious, she walked to the rear entrance of the building and entered. She heard Mile. Cavina call her name, telling her that it was her time to play. Mile. Cavina was too excited to notice the aimless look in Marcia’s face, or to catch the vacant stare in her eyes. Not knowing what she did. Marcia walked out upon the stage, seated herself before the piano, and raised her fingers to the ke board. The keys yielded gently to her touch and then arose the tones from the instrument. But they were not the strains of “Marche a la Turque.” Mile Cavina’s expectant smile faded into dismay. What was G e lcpg Bronco WHITE HOT MUSICIAN (Continued) Marcia playing? Her dreams suddenly faded—Marcia would fin t he prize, and she, Mile. Cavina, had wanted so much that her pupil win the great nruscian’s favor. Suddenly Mile. Cavina stood still and listened. What was Marcia playing? Certainly it was nothing she had taught her, for she had never before heard that heartstirring, plaintive melody. And what was Marcia playing? She was playing the sadness and sobbing of her heart. The sweet wavering tones rose, like a queer incense, from the instrument. The plaintive strain found its way out into the vast audience. It went as a message from musician to listener. Arising from the broken, sobbing heart of the girl, the melodv found its way to the heart of the audience, and. nestling there, told the story of a sad and broken heart. The white-hot sentiment of the artist more than agreeably warmed the audience. Certainly, the great Liszt spoke true. At last the quavering melody ceased, but not before Linvitch. too, had become almost entranced with the heart sobs that arose from the musician’s touch. Marcia arose and left the stage. A great applause ascended from the audience. For several nvinutes, the applause rose and fell, but the musician did not reappear to respond to the encore. Instead, she sat silently behind the stage, staring at nothing. She did not hear Mile. Cavina. Then the wise teacher knew that all was not well. She realized, too, that the melody she had heard was the expression of the heart of the girl. When the last number had been rendered and the last applause had died away, Linvitch hurried to Mile. Cavina. “Where is she? Where is she?” he cried. And Mile. Cavina knew she had won the prize. “She is ill. I must take her home.” said the teacher. “But I must see her, protested the musician, “I am leaving for Europe tomorrow . Mile. Cavina was firm. “Marcia is ill. If you wish to see her, you must wait.” And the great Linvitch waited. —Ruby Ernst—H-ll THE The Senior’s Pass A Sophie met a Senior Going to the fair. With pink cheeks and powdered nose.

A g 2 lcp0 Bronco An Appreciation The Editor of the Bronco wishes to take this opportunity to express her indebtedness to those who have given such invaluable aid in the writing and planning of this book, and to express her most sincere appreciation for their willing efforts to make this volume of the Bronco a success. The first to receive acknowledgements are the members of the staff who have so willingly given the Bronco much of their time. This year has been one of the busiest of their high school life, but they have unceasingly and faithfully worked to make this the best Bronco ever published. I wish to thank all who have aided in any way to extend the publication of this book, conducting sales, copying material, or partaking in the plays given by the staff. The financial stringency caused by a debt incurred last year has been so great that every way advisable to make money has been tried. If there are deficiencies in the work for the ’23 Annual, we hope you will bear in mind the hardship under which we have worked. Help! Help! Help the Bronco! “Back” the ’24 Bronco, (five the coming staff your support, and it will give you an annual that will do credit to your school. Out on the gridiron, the floor, the diamond, and the field, the players are cheered on to victory by their classmates on the side lines, but not so with the Bronco staff. They work mostly in seclusion, and furthermore, they give the Annual more of their time than any athlete gives to the coming game. Are they encouraged? Very little! They get so many knocks (and they are not all on the office door) that their work is made one hump after another. So don’t knock, but boost. Cheer the ’24 staff every chance you get —they will need it. DHS = g( q 1c 0 Bronco EVANGELINE (New Version) PRELUDE This is the railroad primeval. The murming deep-voiced conductor Speaks, and in accents disconsolate answers the wail of the brakeman. In one of the on-rushing coaches that sped through the gathering darkness, Gentle Evangeline sat, with Gabriel always beside her. Friends and lovers were they, as thick as the sluggish molasses That moves with incredible slowness under the cold touch of winter. Far away would they journey, and see the sights of the city. Anon the conductor enters, and comes down the aisle slowly swaying; Asks for the young couple’s tickets, with air and voice condescending. Then with a pleasant smile made answer the jovial Gabriel: “Tickets I have not, old bean, alas! I have lost them forever. Naught but tradition remains of the tickets I purchased at Grand-Pre.” Then, with mien apoplectic, descended the irate conductor; Seized he the youth by his collar, and cast him out into the darkness. Then with the coming of morning. Gabriel saw his beloved Whisked away on the coaches that vanished into the far distance Leaped upon a small hand-car that idly stood on a sidetrack; Frantically plied he the lever, and muttered aloud to the welkin: “Talk not of wasted exertion. Exertion never was wasted.” Many a weary year had passed since the train had fled through the darkness. Still down the track rushed the hand-car, impelled by the strength of its rider. Old and twisted was Gabriel, with whiskers like those of Charles Darwin He had come from the lands of the far north, where the Eskimo pie grows untrammeled. To where a Republican candidate gets abcut one vote in fifty. At last came the time when the hand-car o’ertook its elusive quarry. Stopped was the train at a crossing, still puffing black smoke and cinders. For lo! on the track was ano Id cow, who stood with expression complacent And chewed on her cud in contentment, nor heeded the enginee's clamor. CANTO ONE: THE LOVERS CANTO TWO: THE SEPARATION CANTO THREE: THE FOLLOWING CANTO: THE PASSING YEARS CANTO FIVE: THE REUNION AFTER-LUDE This is the railroad primeval, but where are the pair that at one time Slumbered in peace in the coaches that sped through the gathering darkness? Safety First! is their motto. They travel now in a flivver. A.

It was inspired by the lack of interest shown High School Athletics by the student body. Hi School pep is really not dead, but dormant. There are numerous diversified interests which claim the students attentions. In this way we may find a transient excuse for the lack of enthusiasm shown in athletics at present. The purpose of this meeting was to assure the Basket Ball girls who were to play at Masonic Home that afternoon that Denton Hi was still behind them, despite the apparent lack of interest. Some one happily said: “Pep is dead.” The thought was seized upon, and suggestions for this new kind of pep meeting came readily. As a result, the “services” were conducted as in the following manner: The body of Pep was carried in by the pall-bearers, Verna Cox and Ted Nowlin. Chief mourners, Dalton Maxwell and Lois Perryman, almost lost their conspicuousness 'midst the loud lamentations, wailings, and mournings of the other members of tin class as they witnessed the burial of their good, departed friend Pep. Rev. Shorty Knox delivered an excellent funeral oration in which lie enumerated the purposes and qualities of Pep, and closed with a consolation to Miss Kate Owens and her Basket Ball squad. He touched the emotions of the students’ hearts with his noble, inspiring address. He closed by saying: “Girls and Miss Kate, remember that there are still a few in I). II. S. who want you to win this game today. Although our dear friend Pep has gone from us, and we may not be able to find another to take his place, we must do our best. We hope and we expect our girls to carry off the Girls’ State Championship of 1923. So stay in there, girls, and fight until the last whistle blows.” An elegy written and read by Ruby Ernst, closed with the following lines: 'Now, dear Pep, for thee we ll weep no more, Though thou art gone from this scholastic shore. We need you. Pep, but you are dead, So we must learn to labor and to wait.” Until a new Pep here is given birth.
