We sincerely hope that this volume of the Bronco will keep alive for you the memories connected with your high school days, so that in after years, you may be able to remember the happy hours and interesting times spent in high school. In using the Bronco theme through-out the book, we hope to preserve the high ideals and unconquerable spirit as evidenced by our athletic teams, our year-book, and everything connected with the activities for which the Bronco stands.

Adams Sports Club, ’28; President of Honor Society, 31; President of High Senior Class; Language Course; Justin. Laura B has certainly made an effort to boost her school, and she deserves all the honors that the students have given her. Lucille Bailey Glee Club, ’30; Language Course. She is the type of person that plays in a carefree state of mind and works with all zeal and seriousness possible. Edythe Boyles Science Course. What would we do if we didn't have a few quiet, thoughtful girls like Edythe to inspire the world to greater heights f Grace Camp Glee Club. ’29; Latin Club, ’28. ’29; Orchestra, ’28, ’29, ’30; Language and Science Course. Everytime Grace is mentioned, we shall recall the wonderful music that she has given us. We wish her success as a violinist. Kenneth Carnahan Sports Club, ’29; Language Course. During Kenneth's Senior Year, she was very prominent; for, since she worked in the office, she could be seen at most any time strolling around in the halls. Vera Chapman Language Course “Young girl, you're gifted with music and arts. You'll play yourself into somebody's heart.” George Copp Honor Society, '28; Basket Ball, 31; Science Course. It seems that the taller people are the lucky ones. They don't have to stand on tip-toes so often — at least, George doesn't. Delbert Cruze Language Course. When you ask people about Delbert, they usually say, “He's hard to get acquainted with, but just wait 'til you know him. He's one of the friendliest boys I've ever known. Page Eighteen Jim Marik Dobbins Language Course Jim Maine is a bit bashful, but someday she will yet over that — anyway, she is very sweet. Charles Estes Rolla High School, Rolla Missouri; Honor Society ’30; Senior Class Play; Science Course. Charles always knows you, no matter where he sees you. We wish that we could keep him always. Frances Mae Fritz Pep Club, ’29, ’30; Language Course. It seems that small people like Frances Mae are always lucky. Just notice her black curly hair and sparkling brown eyes. Thelma Farrell Science Course. When you first know Thelma, you think that she is distant, but she really isn't. Everybody, who knows her, likes her a lot. REGINALD GAMBILL Honor Society, 31; Debate Club, ’27; Science Course. “Reg” is that serious type of person whose destination Is likely to become a lawyer. If this is his ambition, we wish him luck. Harlan Giles Honor Society, ’30; Science Course. Even though he stutters, we always listen to what “Sparky” says because we know it will be worth-while. Erline Hammer Honor Society, ’28, ’29, ’30; Sports Club, ’28, ’29, ’30; Corresponding Secretary of Sports Club; Language Course. Erline is the type of individual that every one likes. It would take an adding machine to count up her many friends. Jack Land Football, ’29, ’30; Science Course. It is difficult to decide where “Rufus” is most popular - on the Football Field or in the realms of society. Page Nineteen Floyd LeBeau Science Course. You usually think of Floyd as a type of boy who looks on with interest but who seldom ever says anything. If you could have been iti his Dramatics class, you would think quite differently. Maxine Ledlow Girls Club, ’30, 31; Sports Club, ’30, 31; Pep Club, ’30, 31; Language and Science Course. She is another who believes in the old saying, “Laugh and the world laughs with you, wjev and they laugh at you . Her smile aluf hearty greeting have been a great factor in her popularity. v- Robertson Louder Science Course. Robertson is a boy who is desirous of learning a nd who will achieve his desire sooner cii' later. Would that more were lit him. Leah McReynolds Language Course. Wherever Leah goes she is always outstanding because of her neatness and attractiveness. We are sure that some day she will be sailing on the wing of success. Abbodell Minnerly Sports Club, ’30, ’31; Pep Club, ’30; Volley Ball, ’30; Science Course. With her wavy red hair, she is a flaming picture of youth. She is always ready for a jolly, good time. Irma Orr Sports Club, ’29, ’30; Honor Society, ’30; Junior Class Play; Reporter of Sports Club; Senior Class Play; Language Course. On the stage, Irma is thought of as a typical old-fashioned grandmother, but in everyday life, she is thought of as the center of fun and enjoyment. Lois Phoenix Honor Society, ’28; Glee Club, ’29; Basket Ball ’28, ’29; Language Course. Lois' ability as an athlete has no limits. She is just a picture of health — always talking and laughing. Sallie Sargent Science Course. Sally goes around tending to her business, but she's always ready to talk and smile. Page Twenty Charlsie Scott Girls Club, 28, ’29, ’30; Pep Club, ’28, ’29, ’30; Language Course. We wonder if Charlsie still has trouble with her heart. Maybe she does, but we hope she has it in a different form from that in the Senior Play; however, she interpreted her part wonderfully. R. L. Selby Band and Orchestra, ’30, ’31; Glee Club, ’27; Science Course. We shall miss R. L. very much this year, especially in the Band. The High School students greatly appreciated his efforts. Mae Shelton Language Course. We just can't keep from envying Mae. Her dimples are enough to win anybody's heart — to say nothing about her happy disposition Juanita Sitz Science Course. She is just like a big red butter-fly — always spreading sunshine wherever she happens to be. Jacqueline Spradlin Sports Club, ’28. '29; Pep Club, ’28, ’29. ’30 31; Senior Class Play; Yell Leader; Language Course. “Jackie” is a natural born yell leader. When everybody is down hearted, she is usually the one to cheer them up. Maxine Teel Language Course. Maxine is a quiet little maiden who looks as if she might have stepped straight from the pages of a story book. Doris Thompson Honor Society, ’29, ’30, ’31; Reporter of High Senior Class; Language Course. Doris is a girl whose knowledge has no bounds and whose kindness is unsurpassed. Needless to say, she won the scholarship. Sam Underwood Science Club, ’28, ’29; Science Course; Chairman of Program committee. We are glad to see Sam get the reward of his hard work in the form of a diploma and honors, but we are sorry to see him leave D. H. S. Page Twenty-One Spring- erm Seniors DOBTHY ABBEY Pep Club, 28, ’29, ’30, ’31; Sports Club, ’29; Language Course. Dorothy is certainly an untiring, energetic girl. Even though she didn't win in the “Bronco” Sales Contest, her efforts were greatly appreciated. OREN ANDERSON Honor Society, ’29; Science Course. Oren is a boy who seldom becomes excited or enthusiastic, but some day he will wake up to the fact that he is the “guy” that the world is looking for. Kenneth Armstrong Science Club, ’28; Glee Club, ’28, ’29; Science Course. In future years when Kenneth becomes one of those hardboiled business men that we're always hearing about, we hope that he will not be so serious minded that he can't remember his Denton High School friends whom he kept supplied with gum. James D. Baldwin Science Club, ’28; Band and Orchestra ’30, ’31; Science and Language Course. “Life — why, it's immaterial with me.” Oveta Barnhart Science Club, 31; Honor Society,’30, ’31; Science Course; Montalba. Few people belong n the group with Oveta, for she is a chemistry shark. We don't know why, but most of the best students think chemistry is hard; however, Oveta doesn't think so. LLOYD BARTEE Basket Ball, ’31; Science Course; Krum. What would Denton High School do without these Krum boys who always find a welcome place on the basket ball team f Bertha Mae Bobbit Science Club, ’29, ’30, ’31; Honor Society, ’28, ’29, ’30; Science Course. “Where there's a will, there's a way.” If Bertha Mae really ivants to see an out-of-town ball game, she will always find some way to go. Inez Bratcher Latin Club, ’28; Program Committee, ’30; President of Senior Class; Honor Society,’28,’29,’30,’31; Secretary of Honor Society, 30; Reporter of Low Senior Class. You can't find anyone who has more friends and admirers than Inez. We are sure that a substitute for her place in D. H. S. can never be found. Page Twenty-Two joe W. Brooks Science Club, ’29; President Junior Class; Secretary of High Senior Class; Science Course. Joe Wise has easily done the work of a Business Manager and Assistant Business Manager combined. He is to the school annual what the foot ball stars of 1929 were to “athletical” D. H. 8. Herman Brown Science Club, ’29; Science Course. When girls see Herman, they usually say, “Oh, isn't he just too cute?’' Maybe he is too cute — at least for them to have a chance of capturing him. FRED BUSH Science and Language Course. Fred is a little boy whom we all admire for his spunk and ability. Jessie Louise Campbell Honor Society, ’30; Science and Language Course. Jessie Louise is that old fashioned type of maiden that men prefer; but evidently, she doesn't prefer men. James carter Football, ’29, ’30; Language Course. James is one more lover of football. If he were larger, we know that someday he would be a national football star. Bebe Cowan Girls Club, ’29, ’30; Sports Club, ’30, ’31; Honor Society, ’29, ’30; Junior Class Play; Language Course. Bebe is a mischievous, admirable little girl who has a love for things far, far away from Denton Hi. • Eugene Cope Wichita Falls High School; Language Course. We’ve heard lots about Wichita Falls High, but if Eugene is the average of its students, then it must be a good place, after all. Dorothy Cox Sports Club, ’28, ’29, ’30, ’31; Girls Club, ’28; Glee Club, ’28, ’29; Honor Society, ’30; Language and Science Course. We are sure that Dorothy’s 7nost outstanding talent is printing. It seems that her character and personaity are truly expressed in her writing. Page Twenty-Three Nelleen Davis Volley Ball, 31; Language Course. If yon are looking for a girl who keeps her word, then go to Nelleen. If she says that she will do something, you can “bet your boots' she will do it. La dell Dobbins Argyle; Honor Society, ’30, ’31; Science Course. Little, cute, blond-headed, and awfully smart. ANGUS DODSON Football, ’30; Language Course. In Angus we find an ideal athlete, although we are in doubt as to whether he scores more points on the field than he does in the hearts of our sweet girl graduates. ■ I mm Edna Fenn Sports Club, ’29, ’30; Latin Club, ’29; Honor Society, ’28, ’29, ’30, ’31; Language Course. Just a little bit of mischief and kindness make Edna a delightful kid. Maurice Flanagin Sports Club, ’28; Latin Club, ’28 Junior Class Play; Vice President of High Senior Class; Honor Society, ’28, ’29, ’30, ’31. Although Maurice is small in size, she is not small at heart. She is very loveable and has a pleasing personality. Mattie Beth Edwards Sports Club, ’28, ’29, ’30, ’31: Pep Club, ’28, ’29, ’30, ’31; Science Course. We are always glad to see Mattie Beth coming, especially when she is in the car. Evidently, her motto is “There's always room for one more.” % Bill Dowdell i j Science Course Maybe Bill seems quiet at times, but if you were ever around him, you would find that he is very fun-loving, and too, he's very accomodating. Christine Daughtery Science Club, '30, ’31; Honor Society, ’31; Science Course. Christine certainly is a good basketball player. Captains always choose her first. Page Twenty-Four Helen and Hilda Floyd Glee Club, ’29; Science Course. There are very few twins who both have every requirement of yen nine, all-around girls, but Helen and Hilda do. You ran tell by the twinkle in their eyes that they are full of fun and mischief; and if you're ever heard them sing, you will surely agree that they know how. Margie Lynn Gentry Sports Club, ’29, ’30, ’31; President of Sports Club, 30, 31; Girls Club, 29,’30; Pep Club, ’28, ’29, ’30, ’31; Language Course. We are sure that such a friendly and peaceful girl as Margie Lynn would make a typical pal. At least, Bebe thinks so. Jack Gibbs Language Course. Jack doesn't have so very much to say, but she always has a merry twinkle in her eyes, especially when she talks. Margaret Gibbons Argyle; Science Course. Margaret is a girl who keeps her secrets to herself, but why notf Secrets aren't supposed to be broadcast. Otho J. Gipe Science Course. We wonder if Otho would give demerits and make you pay fines if he had charge of the Library. We don't know, but we would certainly do some pleading. Holly Beall Gosney Pep Club, 29, ’30, ’31; Girls Club,’29, ’30, 31, Vice President of Girls Club ’30; Glee Club, ’29; Junior Class Play; Language Course. Holly Beall is one of the luckiest girls in school. She can chew gum eighteen weeks out of a term and not get caught but two or three times. Ophelia Gresham Sports Club, ’29, ’30; Honor Society, 29, ’30, ’31; Language Course. Ophelia is the type of girl who is liked not only by the girls, but by the boys as well. She has a charming personality and her share of the good iooks. Page Twenty-Five Louise Hampton Ponder; Sports Club, ’30, ’31; Pep Club, ’30, ’31; Honor Society, ’30; Language Course. If her ambition is to be a secretary, then we know lots of people who would like to be her boss. Elizabeth Hare Sports Club, '28; Pep Club, '29, ’30; Girls Club, ’30. ’31; Language Course. When Elizabeth starts laughing, she just can't stop, but ice really like to hear her queer little “giggle” Doris Harrell Keller; Science Club, '31; Honor Society, ’30, ’31; Science Course. “The more she sees of boys the better she likes dogs.” You just can't stay around DoiHs and have the blues. We like her because she is so fun-loving and jolly. Lona Mae Harris Girls Club, ’30, ’31; Language Course. Happy-go-lucky is Lona Mae. She's always laughing and talking, but the good thing about her is that she knows how to control her voice. Lucille Harrison Sports Club. ’30. ’31; Glee Club, ’30, ’31; Pep Club, ’30,’31; Language Course. Even though Lucille is rather small, she has a heart as big and warm as anybody's. If you try, you might be the lucky gentleman. Lois Henderson Sports Club, ’29, ’30, ’31; Pep Club, ’29, ’30, '31; Science Course. Most every girl wishes that she had curly hair, but we think Lois's hair is pretty just like it is. Lucille Hicks Girls Club. ’28,’29.’30,’31; Pep Club, ’28, ’29, ’30; Language Course. Lucille is the best definition of an optimist that you can find anywhere. She smiles even when she receives a note saying, “You have fifteen hours in the detention hall.” Geneva Hobson Glee Club, ’28, ’29; Honor Society, ’28; Language and Science Course. She has enough sense and nonsense to make a girl whom we all love. Page Twenty-Six Joe Jagoe Latin Club, ’28; Band and Orchestra. ’29, ’30; Junior Class Play; Science Course. On first sight, Joe seems o be a very precise young gentleman, but after you know him he is a dashing, daring youth. Louise James Argyle; Honor Society, '31; Science Course. Louise is quiet in her ways, and she doesn't talk much, but perhaps she is one who “thinks twice before she speaks” Maybe that's best after all LAURA JEAN JOHNSON Science Course. Laura Gene's fun and tricks keep every body feeling happy. Yon couldn't helplbut like her, even if you didn't want to. TV-c - Frances Lee Kay Honor Society, ’29, ’30. ’31; Reporter of High Senior Class; Language Course. True and sincere, loving and kind; Another just like her ice'll never find. Nash Keel Science Course; Honor Society, ’31. Evidently, Nash believes that “the early bird gets the worm” because he's always ready at the right time. We like him, especially, because he is capable of saying the wittiest things at the most appropriate moment. Nash is lots of fun, and he's a regular Romeo. Otis King Band and Orchestra, ’29, ’30, ’31; Glee Club, ’29; Science Course. We know that “Buddy misses his pal, W. C., but we also know that a boy with such a friendly disposition must have worlds of friends. Hattie Lee Knight Glee Club, ’31; Language Course. We don't see so very much of Hattie Lee. We wish that she would make herself better known. Vincentine Horton Argyle; Honor Society, ’30, 31; Science Course. We would need more than our ten fingers to count Vincentine's outstanding qualities. Page Twenty-Seven Pauline Knight Honor Society, ’28; Language Course. Pauline reminds us of an Indian maiden in looks, but she is very very quiet in her ways. Jewel Koiner Sports Club, ’29, '30, '31; Glee Club, '29. '30, '31,; Basketball, '31; Volley Ball, 30; Science Course. In Jewel we find an ideal Basketball player; and too, she's a good loser. Lucy Love Lassiter Sports Club, '30, ’31; Vice President of Sports Club; Honor Society, '31; Language Course. Lucy Love reminds us of a little French girl. She is so neat, energetic and fashionable. Geneva Little Language Course. Geneva is a very frank girl who doesn’t mind telling you what she thinks about you; however, she says it in a way that makes you like her more and more. Hazel Mae Long Sports Club, '30; Glee Club, '31; Science Course. It is a difficult problem to tell which is darker, Hazel's eyes or her hair. Very few people are lucky enough to have either. Bonnie Beth Louder Science Club, '30, '31; Sports Club, ’29; Science Course. nnie Beth is so little you wouldn't JHnk that she could make herself heard, but just wait ftil you hear her. Helen Lovett Girls Club, '29, '30, '31; Chairman of Program Committee, '31; Language Course. “As lively as a cricket, but with a great deal more brains and ability.’ Frances Ruth Lowe Glee Club, '28, ’29, '30; Honor Society, '29; Language and Science Course. Frances Ruth is a girl who will be glad to help you bear your burdens and troubles. We would like to go to her because she is so sweet and understanding. Page Twenty-Eight John Maclachlan Latin Club, ’28; Honor Society, ’29, ’30, ’31; Language Course. John is a serious minded, stubby young lad who always has time for study along with his pleasures. FRANCES MAGNENAT Girls Club, '29, ’30, 31; Honor Society, ’29, 31; Language Course. “Ability and charm coupled in one .” Tressie Mae Marriott Latin Club, ’28; Sports Club, ’28, ’29, ’30; Honor Society, ’28, ’29, ’30, 31; Language Course. Tressie is the type of girl that in all probability could tell you something about English or any other subject you might think of. She has made two things in Denton High School — good 4 grades and friends. Hewlett martin e, Honor Society, ’29; Science Club, ’29; ' Football, ’29, ’30; President of Low Senior Class; Sience Course. Hewlett is as changeable as the winds. The first thing you know he will have a new girl, and the next thing you know he will have another one. Oh well, its probably better to be this way than to be as deeply in love as some people we know. Ruth Maxwell Glee Club, ’28, ’29, ’30, ’31; Language Course. If you've ever been in class or even in study hall with Ruth you know what a “monkey'’ she is. It seems that some people have all the wit. Flourence McCauley Wills Point; Language Course. Flourence is certainly an East Texas girl. If all East Texans are like her, we would like to visit there sometime. Hazel mcClung Pep Club, ’30; Glee Club, ’29; Language Course. We have missed Hazel since she has been gone. It's queer, but it always happens that we have to give up our best pupils w. C. McClung Band and Orchestra, ’28, ’29, ’30; Science Course. When W. C. was in Denton he went with almost every new girl who started to school — now he doesn’t have to wait for new girls, he sees them every day. Page Thirty-Nine John H. Miller Plainview; Science Course. John is another of those gentlemen whose good-looks make the hearts of some girls we know miss a heat. We can't say that we blame the girls either, for they show very good choice. Betty Joe Moore Pep Club, '30: Basket Ball. ’29, ’30; Science Course. t We all admire Betty for her willingness to work (especially in Basket Ball) and her clean sportsmanship. She is an ideal athlete. Dick Musgraves Band and Orchestra, ’29, ’30, ’31; Science Course. Dick's laugh is “catching. Nobody could be around him long and have the blues. Dick doesn't want anybody to know it, but he has lots of sense. Dortiiy Nichols Science Club, ’30, ’31; Science Course. Dorthy's sweet smile would win friends anywhere. She has icon such a large number of little friends in her playground work that we predict for her a job of real teaching in the future. Laurence Paschall Band and Orchestra, ’29, ’30, 31; Science Course. Laurence is indifferent to public opinion. He tends to h s o: n business, and goes through life merrily playing his Saxophone. Clayton Potted Honor Society, ’28; Science Course. Girls don’t bother this lad, and he doesn't even seem to know they exist; however, he's a good sport, and his time will come sooner later. Vivian Reagan Honor Society, ’23, ’29; Langaago Course. Vivian is a girl who, in life, plays the part of the shy, modest little maiden. E. B. REEVES Science Course. As a usual thing, E. B. has an excellent memory, but sometimes in Civics, he forgets that he is the “official door-keeper. Page Thirty Leffel Simmons Girls Club, ‘28, ’29, ’30; Language Course. Wherever Leffel attends college we know that she will make a “hit” with the students, at least in the social part of school life. She is always planning to go to a dance or a banquet. Fred Smotherman Aubrey; Science Course. “Heart breaker ” is certainly a good name for this boy. He probably doesn't know it, but in many a ladies' heart he holds a warm, warm place. Eunice Roberts Girls Club, ’28, 29, 30; Pep Club, ’30; Honor Society, ’28, '29; Language Course. Eunice usually has some suggestion to give about this or that, but the good part about it is that her suggestions are almost always the best ones. She is not only always ready for a good time, but she is willing to take the responsibility of intertaining others. Marie Schmitz Girls Club, ’29. ’30, ’31; Glee Club, ’29, ’30, ’31; Language Course. If Mane keeps on, we are sure that someday she will acquire the initiative power of her mother: however she may not be the director of a P. T. A. Anita Sims Pep Club, ’29, ’30. ’31; Honor Society, ’29, ’30, ’31; Sports Club,’31; Language. If you want to have a good time, just go to Anita and in a very few minutes she will have a plan worked out, perfectly. She could easily be called a “ Saver” Kenneth Smith Science Course, ’30; Honor Language Course. If you want to know just suits that are most fashi kind that will be next s j have to do is to consult knows the “fashions.” at kind of yJle, or the on, all; you enneth. He Horace Spinks Grapevine; Science Course. Horace has one talent that very few people have, that is to be witty. He can always think of some fitting wisecrack that will set a croud to roaring. Gordon Teel Language Course. Gordon is a typical Spaniard in ways and in looks. We wonder under whose window he sits and seranades. Page Thirty-One Dorothy Tunnell Science Course. She is the cause of some of the “love-at-first-sight cases. We have heard that some people have changed their schedules ivuh the risk of being caught, just to Mt in her classes. Dorthy Wakefield Sports Club, ’30; Pep Club, ’30, '31; Honor Society, ’30; Declamation. ’31; Language Course. We are really surprised that a quiet girl like Dorthy could be such a firey Hinh is nmud of her. ANNA FRED WALKER Sports Club. ’28. ’29, 30, '31; Language Course. Of course, “Honesty is the best policy but we do wish that Anna Fred would forget it sometimes, especially when she records those last, fatal demerits. A. E. WHORTON Basketball. ’29, ’39. ’31; Football. '31; Science Course. We have heard is said that A. E. is sarcastic — well — maybe he is, but we certainly do enjoy being around him. Jessie Clayton Willis Pep Club, 28. ’29. ’30. 31; Honor Society, '28; Science Course. Jessie C. is just another Mrs. Carpenter. Maybe she will be head librarian in Denton High School in the future. Ruby Lea Witt Glee Club, 28, ’29, ’30; Science Course. It is said that Ruby Lea is greatly interested in Sanger, but we believe that she is interested in a certain foot-ball star — at least he has an orange sweater. Charles Woodson Football. ’29, ’30; Science Course. If you've been around this boy very much — then you've certainly been associated wth the “Dodge , the Cadillac and last but not least the “bakery. We just don't know what ice would do without Charlie. Page Thirty-Two yyfid - C©c rm Office rs Laura B. Adams Glenn Conway.... Maxine Ledlow...

But when you’re a senior you’re wiser; in fact You’ll get an A, and it’s all due to tact. Speak so politely, always smile brightly, Naught from your fame can ever detact; Never seem lazy, and they’ll think you’re a daisy, And give you an A, and it’s all due to tact. In French and Latin, mount a horse and away, You’ll get the first question if your name starts with A. In Physics and Math it is easier by far, Just laugh at their jokes, and they’ll think you’re a star. Speak so politely, always smile brightly, Keep up the bluff in your glance, word, and act; And when you’re in college, the sure path to knowledge Is won at a gallop, and it’s all due to tact. Page Thirty-Four JUNIORS Page Thirty-Five Madeline Allen Madeline is one of the dignified type who lends grace to any chigh society” gathering. Fred Barnes Fred is a typical Englishman, hut that doesn't mean that he can't joke and laugh. Joe Barron Some say that Joe is coyiceited, but he only has confidence in his ability. Stay in there Joe, and you'll get what you want. Mary Ann Anderson Mary Ann is the spirit of mischief itself. We wonder if she ever had a serious thought. Annaloyd Cardwell She is one of those dashing brunettes who smashes hearts cornin' and goin'. Kathleen Owens We wonder where Kathleen in always keeping herself. We never see her in the halls — maybe she spends her time studying, or playing Basket Ball. Olga Borth faf' Olga is a determined sort of girl who puts her whole soul into whatever she is doing. She’s loyal to her friends at all times. ALVIN BONEY This lad teas elected most attractive boy. His smile and personality make him stand ace-high with all Denton High School students. DORTHY BROOKS Stand by, gentlemen! She is the queen, not only in appearance, but in character and personality as well. O. J. Camp, Jr. O. J. is rather quiet in school, but he has plenty of pep and enthusiasm when it comes to ball games.

This boy is certainly a good sport. Katherine Collier Katherine certainly has her way with the athletes (especially basket-ball stars), but why not t Naoma Coleman It seems that Naoma doesn't like to study so well, but there are lots of things that are more interesting than books. Hershell Cook Hershell is a healthy lad who is always wearing a smile and leaving a glad word with his friends. Carolyn Cooper When Carolyn is inside she seems a bit restless. She's a girl who likes sunshine and the out-of-doors. Juanita daugiitery Juanitas black hair and dark brown eyes make us think that she is a real “Senorita . Donnie Donoho This is another decided little blonde that trill come into her own next year in Denton High School. O. D. GRANDY If everyone were as peppy and witty as O. D., there might not be so many long faces in the world. Virginia Henderson Virginia can just look at you with those accusing eyes of hers and make you give in any old time. Page Thirty-Seven Helen hollers Helen is the sort of girl whom anyone would like to call “sweetheart”. If you don't believe it, ask Seth. LOUISE HUBBARD When it comes to making speeches, Louise is right there There's no danger in her not being heard. TED LEWIS, JR. Ted always becomes popular with the faculty in the spring. Even teachers like to be brought roses. Jack Martin Jack isn't so large, but he can whip his weight in wildcats any day. Seth Massey Seth is rather quiet on first acquaintance, but he's an all-around good sport. Alma Jo Matthews Alma Jo is jolly and friendly to ever-body. We like you, Alma Jo. James Maxwell “Sparrow” is a jolly good fellow, and in his, his first year on the team, he can lav basket-ball like no-body's business. Jane mcDade Jane's personality and good looks just speak for themselves. Howard McLean Howard is so quiet that you hardly know he's around, but look twice, girls, he's good looking. Peggy McDaniel Peggy hasn't been here very long, but she has a host of friends already. Page Thirty-Eight J. P. MOORE J. P. is always there when it comes to anything but girls, but he's young, yet. HERBERTINE MORRISON “Herby” is little, but believe me, she certainly does have lots of pep. She worked like a “Trojan” at all the games. Mary Nell O Banion Everywhere you go you see Mary Nell, and you can hear her most of the time. Mary Joy Odem Mary Joy went to school in New York last year, but that certainly doesn't mean that she “high hats” us. Augusta Parmer When you see Augusta, she is wearing a smile and carrying a tennis racket. Bell Pascall She's just a little quiet and just a little timid, but she is certainly a dependable girl. Fara Louise Pratt Fara Louise certainly doesn't want for places to go. She is usually trying to decide what dress she will wear next.

V. Stanton — Coach Mr. Stanton is a natural bom leader of boys, and knowing their ways, he can take a group and work with them and develop them into a clean, hard fighting ball club. You would find him out with them every evening hustling and giving his untiring assistance in teaching them to play a first class game of football. He is always willing to help the boys in every way possible and teach them the fine points of sportsmanship. He has a way about him that makes the boys want to work hard for him, and his manner of getting the best out of the material he has is something every coach should possess, but doesn’t. There is but one Coach Stanton. Willard Howard — Captain Due to an unfortunate accident, Will could not play with the Broncos last fall, and as he had been elected captain, it was also very unfortunate that he did not have the pleasure of leading his team on the field of battle. But, even though he wasn’t out there, his heart was urging his team mates on. His fine playing would have added much to the team too, because he was the bulwark of our defense last year. Page Fifty-Six DELBERT CRUZE — Back Deb was one of the best tacklers on the team; when he hit ’em. they knew it. He always did his best and was continually urging the boys to fight. He was a hard trainer and always played a clean game. Deb did a nice job of backing up the line last season and we’ll miss him next year. Angus Dodson — End “Scotchman , playing a good season at wing position, kept the opposing backs from circling his end of the line, in great style. He was a good pass receiver, and his ability to get down under punts kept the safety men worried. He w as a hard tackier and a good blocker We’re sorry he’s leaving Denton Hi. Clyde Carter — Acting Captain — Tackle Tarzan was the team’s strong point and the opponents stumbling block. He was always alert and in every play urging the boys on. His hard tackling and his uncanny way of detecting “fake plays were an asset to the team. He is a good sport and a clean player. We will certainly miss him next year. E. C. Dittrich — End “Pelegs , playing his first year for the Broncos, made a name for himself. His ability to snatch passes made him a dangerous man. and the opposing teams had a job trying to keep the ball out of his hands Although this was his first season, he played with the precision and sureness of a veteran. “Pelegs is looking forward to a good year next fall. Page Fifty-Seven H. M. PlTTNER — Back “Doc”, playing his first year for Denton Hi., made a fine showing. His ability to analyze the weak spots of his opponents put him in the class with the best. He excelled in clipping off yards around end, too, and his choice of plays pulled the old team out of many a hole. “Doc” will be back next year and with the experience he received last fall, we predict a nice season for him. Charles Woodson — Guard “Choc” was the only letter man back this year, and he felt it his place to help build the team as much as he could. He was always willing to offer a helping hand in any way, and, besides adding morale to the team, he was a consistent player, always giving his best. We are sorry to say “Choc” graduates. Leoland Edwards — Tackle “Fats” has the spirit that makes a football team. The fact that he didn’t make the team last year didn’t discourage “Fats”. He just worked all the harder, and this year found him holding down his position in the line well. He is a hard tackier and he delights in opening holes. Leoland will be back next year. James Carter — Back “Pint” was the hardest trainer on the team and could be depended on to give his utmost at all times. His hard work added strength to our defense, and his tackling showed that he had the right stuff in him. His spirit is to be admired and we wish he were coming back next year. Page Fifty-Eight A. E. Wharton — Guard A. E. was a great linesman and one of our hardest tacklers. He was continually on his toes, opening holes, and messing up plays. The word “quit” meant nothing to A. E. He was in there giving his best to the team from the start to the finish. Too bad A. E. graduates; we need more like him. Hamlett Harmon — Center This was “Uncle Happy’s” first season with the Broncos, and he did a fine job at centering. With two more years to wear the purple and gold, he should develop into an exceptionally strong player. The way he backed up the line last fall tells us that he has prospects of being All-District center some day. His head work in timing passes strengthened our defense. We’re certainly glad he’s coming back. P. B. Stovall — Tackle “Pebels” was one of the lightest men in the line, but we always found him fighting and hustling with the largest. His fast charges spoiled many a promising play of the opponents. “Pebels” believed in treating them rough and not allowing them to gain through his position. We have learned to like him, and we’re glad he’s coming back. Archie Payne — Back This was Archie’s first year, and he has done his share in making the team a first class one. We have found him to be a good trainer and a clean player. Although Archie was not the flashy type of player, he was always hustling and giving his best. We expect much of him next year.

Barnes Eli Meyers Jack Barnes Page Sixty Page Sixty-One Dan McAlister — Coach The potentialities of any man are measured by the manner in which he applies himself to the work he is to do. For the last few years Mr. McAlister has given his time and energy to the promotion of athletics and sportsmanship among the boys of this high school He has worked untiringly to produce teams that rank with the best, and his ability as a coach is respected by every team in Texas. His influence to inspire boys to work hard and give their best is admired by everyone. When you see a boy on the court, you can usually tell whether Mr. McAlister has coached him or not. “Mr. Mac” has won a place in our hearts, and we’re proud of him. Clyde Carter — Center Playing his second year with the Broncos, Clyde proved to us that he was a player who could be depended on to do his best at all times. His steady work on the defense was superb, and his fast dribbling was something to marvel at. “Tarzan” is a fighter and could be expected to pile up a few points against the best teams. We’re sorry this was his last year with the team. Jimmy McAlister — Mascot Jimmy was a first-class mascot. He was at every game with his small purple and gold uniform on, and led the team on the court just before the game. And at timeouts and between quarters — he was ready to throw a towel to the boys to dry on. Without Jimmy we actually believe that the team wouldn’t be the same. Page Sixty-Two o E. c. Dittrich — Forward “Pelegs” has played many a good game in his career, and without his well-aimed shots the Broncos might have suffered defeat. He was always in the thickest of the fight, dealing his opponents misery. He fought with the determination to win. and he tried his best to put the team in front. E. C. will be back. d Or „ (ft ■ ' ?''-• A. E. Wharton — Guard A. E.’s ability in handling the ball deserves praise. His quick passes and shots puzzled many an opposing player. We have found him to be a good trainer and a hard worker always giving his best. He has won a spot in our hearts, and we are sorry he’s leaving. Lloyd Bartkk — Forward “Doc” came to us from Krum and has shown us what a fine player he is. And, although he is small, he made the tallest guards take notice that he didn’t get the ball too often. He was a dead shot with his one-arm throw, and his manner of making crips is something that would make any coach happy. Lloyd graduates. Page Sixty-Three . , Theron McGovern — Forward “Pete” was the hardest worker on the floor. His steady floor work was to be admired, and, in the face of defeat, his long accurate shots pulled the team out of many holes. Pete” never said much, he just went in there and played ball. This was not his last year with the Broncos. Fred Smotherman — Guard It took Heartbreaker” to get the ball down the floor. He could dribble around any forward you placed before him. and his passes, too, were fast and accurate. He was a dependable man in a pinch, and he could be expected to play a clean game. His long, beautiful arched shots were spectacular. Fred graduates this year. James Maxwell — Forward “Sparrow” is one of those men who could play any position with equal skill. He kept his eye on the basket and shot at it from all angles. To see him make crips gives one a thrill. He was one of the fastest men on the floor and probably the hardest worker. He plays a fast, clean game, doing his best at all times. James will be back. Page Sixty-Four Hamlett Harmon — Guard This was “Ham’s” first try at basketball and he has proved to be a great “find”. With two more years to play he has a great future in basketball. He is quick to learn and he tries to do as the coach tells him. He was consistant and dependable; a hard worker and a good trainer. We are glad he is coming back. Wilbur Hardesty — Center Wilbur showed us that he could play basketball when given a chance. He played with deadly earnestness and the determination to win. He fought hard every minute he was playing, doing his best to help the team win. He was good on long shots and his work on defense was fine. Wilbur doesn’t graduate. George Copp — Guard George played the game in earnest and showed that he was a worthy foe to reckon with. He could play most any position and he was valuable to the team because of his all-round good playing. We have learned to like George because of his friendly ways. We are sorry he is leaving Denton Hi.

The butcher, knowing to whom the dog belonged, went to the owner that evening and put the following question to him: “Sir, suppose a dog steals a piece of meat from my shop, have I a right to make the owner pay for it? ‘‘Certainly,’’ replied the lawyer. Very well,” said the butcher. ‘‘I’m sorry to tell you that it was your dog who stole my meat. It weighed three pounds. You therefore owe me a dollar and a half. Without saying a word the lawyer took out a dollar bill and a fifty-cent piece and gave it to the butcher The next day the butcher received the following statement from the lawyer: “Due from A.

Thursday ----has just let me read the note from the mystery boy! Yes indeed I know him! He’s in my Spanish class, and he’s really a pain and V%. His name is........ something. Do U know him? No, I haven’t a date yet! What must I do? Does he especially have to have a date ? I1U don’t care and he doesn’t care let him go with us. for I’m positive I don’t mind. Maby we can get him a date. Gosh honey I’m so sorry you don’t feel good. What’s the matter? And I certainly hope all the teachers keep their mouths closed just for today! ! ! I bet your mother thought I was a little peabrain for calling out to your house for you!!! Girls called out for — all time (used to) and I know what mother thought! ! ..... Mrs. Martin gave us 11 sentences to correct in English and one sentence has 55 words in it and the other has 57! Isn’t that hectic? Do you go home for lunch? I never see you at noon or in the mornings anymore, do I? I’ll bet you’re taking Phys Ed now. And I know you don’t feel good! ! ! Well hon, I just love you more and more every minute so you be sweet for me! ! Love y This is a song of my own composition. It’s hot and doesn’t even know it. Sing it to the tune of “I’m Yours. I’m Yours — No More “When you went away, you didn’t leave a sting, Trying to be gay is just a little thing. How can I keep dreaming of you, When I love you — no more.” Does it suit? — And How! ! ! You had better tear this up ’cause it’s so good that if anyone should read it they might want to publish it, and I wouldn’t want that, you know. Page Ninety-Nine •_ Dearest - We can’t go on like this — I love you and even though I don’t have ad — thing to apologize for, I am sorry that all this has happened, whether your fault or mine — You have told every one about our fuss and that it is all my fault. Now, please don’t say anything else to anyone about our little spat. I got that letter from.......this morning — Do you want to read it and the one I wrote him ? You may if you want to. Tell me about that letter from........this afternoon going home — or do you care to walk home with me? Now, Darling, please let’s be friends and make up ’cause I love you — Always ---------o-------- Who do you have on your string now? Nobody. Maybe...............Maybe not. I’d like to go with.......... He said I was cute. Lets go back until I’m through with Spanish. Then we’ll go to an empty room. Please do. ---------o-------- Dearest: There’s not much to answer about that note that you wrote me. but I can write a little myself. Gee, Honey, every time I see you I like you better and I think I’ve got about the sweetest girl but I don’t know whether I have you or not. Have I ? Well, you’ve certainly got me, and in a big way as far as I’m concerned, and I don’t mean maybe. So your mother is afraid something like that is gona’ happen to you. I don’t think so ’cause I can use my head sometimes. Believe it or not. I’m not figuring on getting hooked up until I get a good job that I can depend on. Hon you don’t know how much I love you, ’cause I don’t get many chances to show you but you believe I do, don’t you? If you don’t believe it ask some of the boys I run around with and they will tell you, and I’m also teling you, myself. If I only had the time, I could sit and rave about you all day. Listen, if you don’t believe I’m yours, just think about that little song “I’m Yours”. That’s just the way I feel, Honey. I know you are tired of reading these ravings, so I’ll sign off. Yours — I hope. ---------o-------- My Dearest.......... Surprised? You ought not to be. You ought to know I’d have to tell you what I think of you (nothing bad but on the good side). I’m just realizing what a jackass I have been. I wouldn’t go with a girl that I couldn’t trust, and I have no reason now not to trust you. I’d give almost anything if I could go with you again. (In short — I can’t remember if I ever started). I’m had a million dreams of you since the last time I was with you. Would you consider it? Please let me know real soon. We oughta have some big times together. Just let bygones be bygones and answer this soon or even sooner if you like. Waiting - Page One Hundred ........, are you really going to let.........have a date with you Saturday night? I’ve got something to say about that, haven’t I? Write me a note telling me how you feel about what has happened. Want to go to a show this afternoon? Hello Baby, How’s my “angel child?” Are you still mad at me? I hope not, honest I do. You mean all in the world to me. And honest, I’m not kidding you — I love you, I love you. Won’t you believe me, just this once? I wouldn’t kid my girl, I’m just trying to explain all that’s in my heart. Each night I dream of you, and I pray that you will consider things and see reason, but you are so d.... hard-hearted that it seems that no one can have any influence on you except.......... I would be in heaven if you only gave me Even One Thought. I’m hoping that I can meet you soon and when I do, it won’t be at the high school, it will be some place else. I wish I knew lots of kids here, but I guess it will just take time to learn them and their names. You were the first one I was interested in and..............was my first good friend. He sure is a swell guy. Don’t stop writing notes to me, because I love you. I am tempererally........ “Your Mystery Boy” o Study Hall Hello Beautiful — Say, what’s the matter with you, honey? Don’t you love me anymore? Listen sweetheart, if I’ve done anything, tell me, but gosh don’t act like you don’t even know me. This morning in chapel I tried to talk with you but you only turned your head, so I supposed something was wrong. Listen darling. I think the world of you so if I’ve done anything I want to correct it. Somebody told me that you had a date with another guy the other nite but I didn’t believe them. You didn’t, did you honey? Sorry I couldn’t get out to see you yesterday and the day before that, but I just couldn’t. I thought maybe you might call, but as you didn’t I suppose it was O. K., cause everything you do, sweetheart, is O. K. with me. Your mother hasn’t said anymore about me has she ? ........has found it useless to try to persuade me against you because she knows by now how I feel toward you. I may have to move to Dallas and go to school out at Peacock. Wouldn’t that be terrible? Think of being away from you for so long at a time. Listen sweet, I could stand anything but being separated from you. Tell me, really and truly, if you still love me as you say you do or if you say it just to please me? I'll tell you that I love you whether you like it or not. I can’t help it. I’ve tried not to, but it just won’t work. I’m a doomed man I guess. Mother says I’m not to go any place this week end but I would like to see her or anybody else, but you, keep me away from you. Listen Baby, I think more of you than the sun, the stars, the moon, and the milky way thrown in for good measure. I can’t help what you think of me I do and aways will love you with all my heart. Just wrote this, honey, to let you know that I still love you and would like to know if you do or don’t love me. C. Sorry I couldn’t see you after the first period after lunch but I had..........................................important business with a teacher. Have to close now but remember I still, and always will love you. C ..X Lcor r Page One Hundred One My Dearest Sweetheart: The last note you wrote me nearly killed me! Of course I have all the respect for you in the world. A boy doesn’t love a girl unless he has worlds of respect for her, and since you are my first love, I suppose I have more than someone who is more experience in this line. Of course I realize how you feel, I mean about not seeing me, but it would probably interest you to know that that I won first place at the..........favorite contest. This is not to be bragging, but it will probably give you an idea of how I look — I don’t suppose you have ever noticed me. Of course, sweetheart, if you don’t want me to write anymore notes, and you are tired of reading them, I will try to stop writing them to you, but I can tell you most truthfully, it will break my heart to stop. I suppose I’m inexperienced along this line, and the first time I’m told by the one I love, that she thinks I’m a “Jackass” it hits harder than after being told several times by others. I hope you read this — and maybe if you do, you’ll change your “hard heart”. I wish I could see you alone sometime, and if I could, maybe you would think differently. Gosh! This surely is a tough world — what’s left for me? Yeah — I know you think this is silly, too, but I don’t guess you were ever in the fix I’m in. If you have, you won’t turn me down this last time. Please think it over and if you decide to change your mind leave me a note letting me know — and if not write me a note telling me, because I am keeping all your notes. Really tho’ darling, I do love you with all my heart and apd might, and will continue to do so, although you do think me “silly”. Gosh — do you think it’s silly for a boy to love a girl — and especially one like you? I hardly see how anyone could think that. Well, this is all. I hope it won’t be my “last” to you. If I have anything to say about it, it will be my beginning — I will be desperately waiting for an answer. Please don’t let it be the negative. I am writing this at home and the radio is bothering me, so if there are any mistakes, please excuse them. (I suppose you will find plenty, tho’ as you usually do). I remain waiting Yours (if U want me) “Your mystery Boy” Page One Hundred Two Dearest: Listen darling, how do I know you are a lady? Prove it. I believe you are a boy. I’ll swear I do. Are you and still fussing or getting along fine? You are crazy if you let his family keep you from going with him. If I were you I would go a-head and go with him. .................. and........really worked geometry last night. Ask them. I know you don’t believe I worked, but I sure did.

To stuff moral fists down forty yelping throats during chapel periods. To modulate the tones while conducting a spontaneous information bureau. To cultivate a speaking voice signing class work. To look soulful during all non-prepared, piteously improvised class discussions. To read bundles of snappy, neatly written literatures every day. To while away idle moments working grade puzzles.

Page One Hundred Nine THE VILLAGE SHEIK Under the spreading soda fountain The village sheik stands; The sheik a jellybean is he, With small and dainty hands; And the muscles of his puny arms Are as strong as rubber bands. His hair is slick and black and long, His face is anything but tan; His brow is wet with vaseline; He earns what ere he can. He looks no one in the face, For he owes most every man. Week in, week out, from morn till night, You can hear his flivver roar. You can hear him play his mandolin With measures sweet and low, Like an orchestra at a barn-yard dance, When the evening sun is low. Oh, he is the village hero — All the maidens, sweet and shy, And children coming home from school Look up as he passes by; They love to see his trimmed-up Ford And give its speed a try. With apologies to H. W. Longfellow. Page One Hundred Ten Father: “I hear you are at the bottom of your class.

Why, your girl didn’t give you that, did she?” Stormy: “No; it was her other sweetheart.” ---------o----- The justice of the peace in a town in Ohio, in pursuance of his duties, had to hear and judge cases that were brought before him, and also perform occasional marriage cermonies. He found it difficult to disassociate the various functions of his office. Everything had gone smoothly until he had asked one bride: “Do you take this man to be your husband?” The bride nodded emphatically. “And you,” said the justice, turning to the bridesgroom, “what have you to say in your own defense?” ---------o----- This is a section of Wit for the Wise, To be appreciated by only bright guys; We are using the talent that within us lies, So — be yourself.

Pai e One Hundred Twenty-Ei ht Some of the Knowledge One May Acquire As a Senior in D. H. S. Athletics is the chief study in Denton Hi. All other studies are side-lights to teach us how to enjoy good athletics. Juniors try to be cute, but they are a year too young. The Sophs are the best class in high school. They know their place and stay in it. “Kids” from Junior High were made to make Seniors disgusted. High School is a place to get by with all you can. College is a place to get by with more. The “Broncs” are the best team in the state, but accidents keep us from winning the state championship. In high school we are taught to be good citizens and respect the law; therefore we never smoke, drink, or chew. At the end of our career in Denton High, we are fully convinced that we know more than our mothers and fathers together.

West Side Square Telephone Page One Hundred Thirty-Seven I’M THE “BRONCO”, YOU KNOW My pages are full of a number of things That might be of interest to you; My life is a doubt, a fear, a sting — Sometimes I‘m feeling blue. Sometims I’m hopeful, full of bliss, As ever an Annual could be; Somtimes I think I shouldn’t exist, For some care nothing for me. A kind word, a deed, would greatly mend The attitude some folks show; So won’t you come and be my friend ? . . I’m “The Bronco,” you know. My Staff is faithful, devoted, and true, Laboring and striving for me. I sometimes wonder how fathful are you When my wondrous pages you see. Some one may laugh, or jeer, or scorn At the efforts I have made. Yet many throw roses instad of thorns, And express delight that’ll ne’er fade. A kind word, a deed, would greatly mend The attitude some folks show; So won’t you come and be my friend? . . I’m “The Bronco,” you know. “I love my school, and my Annual, too,” Is what I like to hear. . . I like to work with the faithful few — From them I need not fear. They put their shoulders to the wheel, And say, “ ‘The Bronco’ must succeed!’ They work and labor with tireless zeal, That I the light might lad. Perhaps you’re not so faithful As some whom I have known, But won’t you come and friendship show? I’m “The Bronco,” you know. — Leo Bennett Page One Hundred Thirty Eight LESSONS NOT FOUND IN BOOKS The value of a reputation for trying to do what is right. The danger and the injustice of furthering false rumor. The value of self control. The useless unhappiness caused by jealousy. The value of a really dependable person.

The viture of finding the best in everyone. ---------o----- “And the name is to be what?” asked an English rector, as he approached the baptismal font with the baby in his arms. “John Jellicoe Douglas Haig Lloyd George Bomar Law Smithers,” announced the proud father, who had done his duty at home. “Dear me!” said the rector, turning to the sexton. “A little more water, Mr. Jones, if you please, a little more water!” ---------o----- Dealer: “I can let you have this bedroom suite for half the catalogue price.” Louise Hubbard: “And what do you sell the catalogue for?” --------o------ Salesman: “And to what address shall I send this bucket, sir?” Eugene Cope: “Oh, 715 Hillside Avenue.

His wife gazed blankly at him. “But, said she, “neither of us brought one to church.” -------o------ It was necessary for taxation purposes to decide on which side of the Canadian and United States border a farm, which an old lady had just purchased, actually lay. Surveyors finally announced that the farm was just on the American side of the border.

You have missed one of the most wonderful experiences of life; an experience of soaring to the heights one day, and plunging to the depths of despair the next. The outsider can never know what a volume of work, and what an ocean of tears have gone into the making of this book. Yet, the latighs and fun which have gone hand-in-hand with the bad things have made it a novel experience which I would not trade for gold. We do not expect you to be satisfied with this book — that would be expecting the impossible, but when you began criticizing too severely, please remember that we have done our very best. Thus with every word written, every picture in, and every argument settled, we send the book away at least. We are now ready to present to you our efforts which we have tried to make worthy to bear the name “Bronco”. You have in your hands the fruits of the highest efforts of a group of students who have put into it their best. — Inez Bratcher Page One Hundred Forty-Two Autographs Autographs n y-xr , (..w 'vHftTC'V v. •£—3k 4� rt� 4 Jvu a
