Denton High School - Bronco Yearbook (Denton, TX)

Text from Pages 1 - 118 of the 1938 volume:

A Miss Mary Mizell GocUcaliorv 1JIN APPRECIATION OF ONE WHO HAS GIVEN TO OUR HIGH SCHOOL THE VERY BEST THAT ONE CAN GIVE AND WHO HAS ALWAYS BEEN LOYAL TO ALL INTERESTS, WE THE MEMBERS OF THE 1938 BRONCO STAFF, IN A TRUE SENSE OF FRIENDSHIP AND ADMIRATION, DEDICATE THIS VOLUME OF THE BRONCO TO MISS MARY MIZELL R. C. Patterson A. O. Calhoun Often things of the greatest value to us are not truly appreciated at the time they are being experienced and cannot be properly evaluated until a period of time has elapsed. As a rule, this is especially true of most high school students. They are prone to overlook the fact that they are laying the foundation for their future educational career. Students with vision and ambition usually take advantage of their opportunities in high school and are thus better equipped to surmount the obstacles with which they are certain to be confronted in later life. To you seniors who are about to leave us, I should like to say that I hope your high school days have brought to you that happiness and that satisfaction which should be a part of the lives of all successful people. To you juniors and sophomores, I should like to ask that you make your high school record one upon which you will always be happy to reflect. R. C. Patterson To one entering high school, graduation seems far away, but to those who are about to be graduated, the years spent in high school seem short. The question that confronts each senior is whether he has made the most of his opportunities during the last few years. That responsibility of making the most of your opportunities will not pass with graduation but will be even more important in your life after you leave high school, for each of you will gradually have to face more of the problems of this turbulent world in which you will be living. It is to be hoped that you have had much pleasure during your high school days, but even more important than the pleasure you have derived from your activities in high school is the question of whether you have done something toward finding yourself and your place in life. As Principal of Denton Senior High School, it is always my pleasure to talk with you and offer whatever help I may be able to in helping you solve the problem with which you will certainly have to deal.

Nothing else connected with our school has such a history as our annual; in fact it is the only thing which ties the old with the new. In giving this book to you, we do so with the wish that each of you will appreciate just how much this annual means to you, not so much now as later in life. Peggy Jane Tobin, Willie B.

In the Area and State activities they have entered the dairy, poultrv, meat identification, and soil conservation contests. In addition to these activities they have developed a basketball team and a string band, both of which have taken part in Area and State contests. During the summer they plan to make an extensive tour of some section of the United States. Mr. J. C.

The outstanding program of the year was centered around the Augustan period of Roman literature because 1937 was the bimillennium of Augustus’ birth. The annual Latin banquet was held in April. Min-ature Roman banners bearing the insignia S. P. Q. R. were used as favors. The program and menu were written in Latin in leaflet form with Mercury used as a design. 0 Front Row Carol Coleman, Louise Deavenport, Harold Duncan, Billy Coleman, Mary Frances Harris, Lorraine Jeffries Back Row Miss Brown, sponsor, Berta McKensie, Fred Layton, Herschcl Kornblatt, Ola Woods THE STAFF Mary Frances Harris.......................Co-Editor Ola Woods.................................Co-Editor Kim Smith.....................Business Manager ’37 Louise Deavenport.............Business Manager ’38 Miss Nora Lee Brown.........................Sponsor The Bronconian was first published in the Spring term of 1936 when a journalism course was offered in Denton High School.

The motto of the club is: “Science for Service, Safety, Progress, and Pleasure.” Its colors arc blue and gold. The object of the club is to stimulate a more active interest and a more thorough understanding and appreciation of the applications of science to this modern complex life. Our activities are various. We take industrial trips to the mill, candy factory, and bottling works. In the lecture room we make negatives and prints in photography, send messages over student telegraphy sets. We attended the Junior Academy of Science Regional Meet at Fort Worth. This spring we plan to attend the Regional Meet at Huntsville. H. V. Stanton, Head Coach Fred Slack, Assistant Coach Ed Miller L. H. Mathews Co-Captains CAFrAINS—L. H. and Ed were the mainstays in the Denton forward wall, wholly responsible for much of the team’s success. They were always encouraging their teammates and had the respect of every man on the field including the officials, opponents, and opposing coaches. The spirit which was so evident in this year’s club was the result of the splendid cooperation which the captains received from their team. FOOTBALL COACHES—Mr. Stanton and Mr. Slack this year have developed a team to be proud of. These men, by their own fine characters, have influenced their boys in many ways. They have taught them first of all, sportsmanship, the true ideal of all athletics; second, the value of good physical coordination; and last, the ability to “take it.” Mr. Stanton’s capable judgment and canny plays made possible a team suggesting a well-oiled machine. Mr. Slack supplied the pep and enthusiasm, helping put the Broncos really on their feet. ED MILLER—Ed’s size and determination made him the bulwark of the team. After a speedy diagnosis of a play, his tremendous power rendered a blocker practically helpless when he charged to disrupt an offensive thrust. Running interference was another of Ed’s strong points. He literally mowed down would-be tacklers who soon learned to respect his right-of-way. Ed’s vibrant personality and leadership will be missed next year. T. V. STEAGALL—T. V. was the “iron man” of this year’s ball club. He steadfastly played his center position, doing a really commendable job all the way. His dependable snap-back sent the Bronc plays swiftly on their way, and when our boys took the defense, T. V. was consistently breaking up enemy pass plays and successfully backing up the line. T. V.’s grit and dependability, important factors in this year’s well-coached team, are really to be missed next year. Ed Miller Tackle End L. H. MATHEWS—A defensive power-house, an offensive steam roller describes ’H. He was always to be found at the bottom of a pile of tacklers, the man who usually was responsible for throwing the runner to earth. L. H. will always be remembered for his capable handling of the Greenville situation where he seemed to be playing every position on the line. We shall all miss L. H. and his many fine qualities. DUDLEY KING-—Though Dud has only played football this year, his excellent record as an end makes us wish he had been with the team longer. He was “game wise”, meaning he was complete master of himself at all times. His basketball technique at once made him a stellar pass-catcher, and he cashed in on this ability many times. Dud, during his four years in Denton High, has been a leader in every phase of school activity. Football was no exception. FRED WALTERS—Freddie filled all the requirements of a first-class first string end. The opposing team found firm resistance around Walter’s end, his slicing tackles breaking up many scoring attempts. He was an accomplished pass receiver, and the Bronco aerial attack was based upon his unerring reception. Fortunately Fred will be back to strengthen next year’s team. DORIS HARRISON—The last of a long line of able football players, Doris has not failed to keep the family record intact. At guard he was aggressive until the last whistle sounded; w'hen the circumstance arose, he took immediate advantage of any weakness in the enemy defense and constantly led determined interference w'hen the guards “pulled out”. Doris will be a welcome cog in the Bronco machine next year. Frf.d Walters End GLEN FULLER—“Big Fuller”, a new man on this year’s squad, turned in a standout performance at his tackle position. Once Glen got his feet firmly set, there was no attack over his side of the line. In addition to being a powerful defensive player, his deadly blocking sent many of our plays well on their way into enemy territory. Coach Stanton can well appreciate “Big Fuller” in future Bronco line-ups. FRED HEREFORD—Hereford was a dependable guard whose head-work and alertness aided the Broncos on many occasions. His eagle-eye spotted many defects in the opposing offense w'hich he promptly smashed with a powerful tackle. Fred’s speed helped the Bronco attack when the guards furnished interference, and his coolness under fire was remarkable. The team will miss Fred Hereford next year. Fred Hereford Guard HOWARD LOWE—Howard, a track star and perhaps our fleetest back, was a dependable ball carrier who never failed to record a good gain when he carried the pigskin. Some of our most spectacular gains were made as Howard, having miraculously sifted through the enemy defense, jumped high in the air to complete a well-directed pass. Howard closes an eventful football career this season. TOMMY CROUCH—When swift running and hard driving were to be found, the boy supplying them was little Tommy Crouch, one hundred and forty pounds of human electricity. Tom could skirt either end with equal facility, and his “heads-up” defensive play broke up many scoring threats. Size apparently made no difference with Tommy, who never hesitated blocking or severely tackling a much larger player. Graduation closes Tommy’s high school football career. Howard Lowe Back Walter Harpool End DOUGLAS HELVY—“Doug” was a fighter every inch. He nailed his man with all the force of a pile-driver. His ability to “hold that line” when the Broncos were hard pressed on their own goal pulled our team out of many holes. Helvy was respected by his team-mates for his love for honesty and fair play. We regret losing Douglas. WALTER “PINKY” HARPOOL—“Pinky”, a first-year man, turned in a remarkable well-played performance at end. Whenever an end-run was to be smashed, “Pinky” contributed his share in its destruction. He was always swiftly down under punts and usually hemmed in the safety man with little or no return. When the interference formed for an end-run he was always to be found heading the attack. “Pinky,” with two more years, should become a standout player. I 4 Will Brvant Back WILL BRYANT—“Bullet Bill” was our most capable and efficient passer. Either running or standing, he could hit a receiver with commendable accuracy; his dependable quarterbacking coupled with his shifty broken-field running and deadly blocking have merited his being voted “all-district” by sports writers in this vicinity. We regret that Bill graduates this year. William Stephens Back WILLIAM STEPHENS—Smashing through for impressive gains, “Mike”, behind splendid interference, literally ripped the forward wall to pieces on his dynamite thrusts over the line; his powerful assaults were at a premium when the opposing team was backed against its own goal. He carried the pigskin over on many occasions, and his spirited blocking and tackling were great assets to the team. “Mike’s” graduation leaves an appreciable vacancy in next year’s team. Two other players, Truman Clark, at half back, and Frank Brooks, a regular guard, deserve honorable mention. Truman was a speedy back whose running attacks were a constant threat against the opposition; Frank admirably handled his guard post, smearing many plays.-These boys, in addition to Vincent Tipps, Glen Titus, “Doug” Crouch, Clayton Byrom, and Wallace Mann rounded out one of Denton High’s finest teams.

His friendship and respect are things much sought after by boys or girls who admire him for his splendid traits of character and amiable disposition. He could, despite the most humiliating defeat, hopefully say, “We’ll pull a new offense tomorrow that’ll really do the job”; he could encourage the most disheartened team in its darkest moment and make them feel, win or lose, that they had something greater to play for. This spirit, which is so great a part of “Mr. Mac”, is sincerely appreciated by those who know and love him. Captain Dudley King Center CAPTAIN DUDLEY KING—The guiding influence when the Bronco cagcrs took the floor, Captain Dudley King was the season’s standout player. The steadying effect of his presence was directly responsible for many wins, and his hustling defensive play “bottled up” many an opposing “hot shot.” Dudley, by elusive dribbling and flashing speed, usually brought the ball past a close defense, and his accurate crip shots resulting from clever screen-plays often pulled the Broncos from behind to win. When Dud finishes his brilliant high school career this year, he should really become a superior college player. Front Row BILL COLEMAN, Team Manager DORIS HARRISON PHIL MILLER VERNON SIMPKINS “PINKY” HARPOOL JOHN BROOKS, Team Manager Second Row COACH McALISTER CARL HOFFMAN DUDLEY KING ED MILLER FRED ELLISON BEN COLLINS ED MILLER—Ed could handle himself to a perfection under the basket where his tall and powerful frame, along with his natural aggressiveness, often proved to be more than enough to take the ball off the backboard. Ed was the best pivot-man on the team; he consistently dropped in left and right hand hook-shots from the foul line and averaged many points per game. Backing up shots, however, was Ed’s specialty. Denton High loses a brilliant athlete as Ed graduates this year. Ed Miller Forward BEN COLLINS—“Sanky” was a super-smooth floor-man and the “hustlin’est” basketball player on any court. The new rule eliminating the center jump favored his speedy play, and his ability to fight to the last minute made him a stellar player. Ben really showed his capability in the closing games of the year when, in one important contest, he scored twenty-three points in a blaze of speed and accurate shot-making. “Sanky”, who graduates this year, should make some college an excellent player. Ben Collins Forward FRED ELLISON—From the ranks of the scrubs to a first-string guard position is a long jump; yet Fred came through as all expected and filled the slot efficiently. Tall and rangy, his keen desire to win and his accurate shotmaking made him one of the really talented players of the squad. His consistent and aggressive guarding will be sorely missed in the future. Fred Ellison Guard Cari. Hoffman Guard “Pinky” Harpool Forward CARL HOFFMAN—Always tempering his smooth game with calmness and deliberation, “Fuzzy” was perhaps the steadiest player on the team. He never became rattled or erratic, and his spirited defensive tactics certainly kept many a scorer from hitting the basket. Carl, on offense, usually centered his efforts upon accurate and steady ballpassing, but his percentage of baskets made was perhaps the highest of any player on the team. His high-arched long shots spectacularly splashed the net many times. “Fuzzy” graduates this year. “PINKY” HARPOOL—Always cool in a tight spot and an alert guard on defense, “Pinky” is a man upon whom rests many responsibilities for the coming season. If his shots and basketball ability increase as much as his size and speed should, he will be a player well worth watching, and his ever-ready hustle will augment the scores of many games. VERNON SIMPKINS—“Sheep”, a newcomer on this year’s squad, showed real ability in the games in which he participated; his many good qualities, the ability to sink long shots with consistency, the knack of dependable and accurate passing, and better than average technique are factors which brighten the future for Denton High’s basketball teams during the next two years. Vernon Simpkins Guard PHIL MILLER—Phil was really a dependable substitute who could always be counted on for steady and accurate ball handling. His fighting spirit and determined attempts to work the ball into shooting position were noticed by the coach who recognized in Phil the qualities of a fine basketball player. Phil is endowed with the same powerful physique as his brother, and he can be counted on to become equally as good a player in his two remaining years of school. DORIS HARRISON—A speedy and efficient guard, Doris was also a man whose offensive tactics were respected by his adversaries; he was a reserve who could keep his head in a tight spot and who shot with an eye for the basket. Doris gained a great amount of experience in the latter part of the season when several of the team were disabled, and he carried his part of the bargain with flying colors. Doris can be depended upon next year to strengthen the team.

ELLISON, HELEN FITCH, RUDELL LOFTIN, DOROTHY HEADLEE I Coach Elliot Smith The remarkable success enjoyed this year by the Denton High tennis players is due, in no small measure, to their good fortune in having Coach Smith to strengthen and mold their games and to teach them the court strategy which has made him one of the South’s finest tennis players. He was patiently insistent upon the use of good technique in building the successful game, and the splendid results brought about by this suggestion have confirmed his opinion. He has taught the fundamentals of good tennis; furthermore he has, by arranging numerous contests with other teams, given his proteges the advantage of improving themselves in the test of actual competition. Fred, who last year was runner-up, w'ith Roger Smith, in the doubles of the District, has amazed everyone of the tennis faithful with his improved game this year. Teamed with Floyd Davis in the doubles play, his powerful stroking ability and accurate net game have helped the Broncos • to emerge victorious from numerous matches. We shall indeed lament the w'ant of Fred’s cheerful prattle on the Denton High tennis courts next year. Floyd’s brilliant game of last year gave him the District title in the singles. This year he carried his powerful game into doubles competition where his dynamic service and accurate volleying were deciding factors in many Bronco wins. Floyd’s dependable backhand pulled many games out of the fire, and he was a consistent stroker of his forehand drives. His splendid play w'hich has so greatly helped to promote interest in tennis will be missed next year. Floyd Davis The most indefatigable retriever on any high school court, “Jubby” gained a great deal of recognition for his “pat-ball” tactics. He could completely demoralize an opponent as he tirelessly covered the court to return almost every ball hit. Since games are won by the person keeping the ball longest in motion, J. W.’s tactics w'ere responsible for his wanning a great majority of his matches; we shall expect great things from him in the future. J. W. Johnson Rudell Loftin Rudcll played a well-rounded singles game, always keeping her ground strokes deep within the court. Her excellent temperament enabled her to play steadily and determinedly in spite of torrid resistance, and her record of victories in fast competition wras one to be proud of. RudclPs chop forehand was exceptionally steady while her backhand drives cut the corners quite effectively. We all regret that Rudell, whose personality so greatly pervades her playing, is not to be with us next year. Denton High School’s girls doubles team turned in several admirable performances in their matches this year. While this is the first year that Dorothy and Helen have played together, they exhibited smooth teamwork on several occasions. Helen graduates this year, but Dorothy, with two more years can prove to be one of the brightest of Denton High’s tennis stars. RESULTS OF BRONCO TENNIS SEASON Denton High Opponent 3 ...

PAULINE PRITCHARD, WILLIE FAYE ROARK VOLLEY BALL Volley Ball is one of the few athletic activities in which girls alone participate in the Interscholastic League. This interesting game which is fast growing in popularity both among boys and girls is developing marked interest in Denton High School. The volley ball] competition is still limited to the county meets over the state, but unofficial district meets are being arranged. Our players this year have devoted at least an hour per day to the task of becoming proficient in their sport, and we can easily see by their success that effort spent in this active pursuit was well worth while. The team members, four of whom return for next years’ squad, engaged in several meets with other schools. Their record in these matches was admirable, and the association which they had with Miss Cocanougher will be invaluable to them in later life. TRACK The reputation of Denton High School’s track team has been increasing rapidly in the last few years. These teams, which are now gaining wide recognition for their ability both on the cinders and in the filed events, have brought interest here in interscholastic track competition to a new high. The Broncos, competing in many meets this year, have defeated some of the finest teams in North Texas. While our men were barely nosed out in the county track meet, their impressive victories in several events gave them undisputed second place and the right to represent Denton High in the District Meet, where, we are sure, they will acquit themselves creditably. Track mentor Fred Slack has been responsible for injecting new spirit and pep into the ranks of his contestants. He is admired and respected by everyone, especially by his track men, who often brave the most adverse weather conditions to obtain sufficient practice and physical training. The future for track in the next few years is definitely encouraging, and the time is not far distant when Denton track stars will be much sought after. ’_____ Front Row HOLLIS FRY, BILLY WHITSON, TRUMAN CLARK.

STEAGALL, BEN COLLINS The runner who has probably turned in the most impressive performances this year is Dudley King, stellar quarter and half miler. Dud, for the past two years, has proved to be the cream of the crop of the 440 yard dashes in this locality; however, this year he is devoting his attention to the 880 yard run. He recently won the county meet here with a record time of 2.08 seconds. Dudley is anchor man on the champion mile relay team along with Tommy Crouch, Ben Collins, and Bill Boyer, all excellent runners. Bill Boyer and Tommy Crouch of the relay team were also winning runners in the county meet. Boyer, who has recently come to Denton from McKinney, ran a well-timed race to cop 440 honors. Little Tommy Crouch pressed King hard all the way to finish a good second in the half mile run. Sprinting their way to other victories in track competition here, Wallace Mann and William Fuller annexed honors in the 100 yard and 220 yard dashes respectively. Mann and Fuller should both develop into brilliant runners for next year’s cinder season. Ben Collins High Jump Glenn Fuller Weights Ben Collins Broad Jump Sam Lehrman Pole Vault Showing the ability which promises him a great future in college track competition, Ben “Sanky” Collins, besides being a fleet member of the one mile relay team, is the best broad jumper in this vicinity. He consistently averages leaps of twenty feet and will certainly do even better in the final meets of the season. Ben is also an excellent high jumper, who with Joe Fincher and Hollis Fry, two capable performers in the same event, has won honors in the jumping division of numerous meets. Truly a “triple-threat” track man, Glenn Fuller participates equally well in the shot putt, the javelin throw, and the discus throw. He is fast becoming one of the best weight men that Denton High has ever had. Sam Lehrman and James McFall, two vaulters whose technique and ability have improved much this season, should be given credit for good performances. Bill Boyer Tommy Crouch Dudley King THE BRONCO’S TALE Radical Change Made in D. H. S. Curriculum Superintendent Patterson Presents Simple Solution to Problem of Raising Scholastic Standards Superintendent Patterson today disclosed his plan by which he purposed to raise the scholastic standard of the school. His intention, which was greeted enthusiastically by the students, is to change the present system of grading so that those students making “E” will rank highest and those making “A” will rank lowest. Under this system the professor is sure the majority of the pupil will make the honor roll. The new report cards will read: “E”—excellent, “D”—dandy, “C”—average, “B”—bad, “A”—awful. Mr. Patterson stated that this would do away with ten or twelve termers such as Fred Ellison, Dudley King, Ray Martin, Ed Miller, Mary Willard, Bill Barrow, Alva Nell Fraser, Avo Vermillion, Ben Smith, Barbara Hancock, Janice Smith, Mary Frances Harris, Dorothy Faulkenberg, Vinson Tipps, Frank Barrow, Edith Ellison, Robert Heffington, Nell Holmes, Mary Frances Neale, Ruth Tobin, and Ray McGalliard. ------o------- Super-Shindig at the Southern The annual “Swing your Partner” was held last Saturday in the hayloft of the Southern Hotel. Jackie Hogue with his “Badly-Bruised Band” furnished the music, with Jack Harless, Grover Rue, Paul Blagg, and J. C. Miller taking the solo or specialty numbers. At the end of a ten minute intermission which lasted forty-five minutes, a floor show was given. Numbers included two songs by Mary Lee Fouts, a talk on “How to make Love to Your Secretary,” by Floyd Davis, a ballet number by Martha Virginia Cronkrite, and a demonstration of the step, the “docy-do” which has recently been added to the new dance sensation, the Square Dance. Refreshments of sweet milk and ginger bread were served at the end of the dance which finally had to be called to a halt as it was getting almost ten o’clock. Those who attended were: Joyce Powlcdge, Billy Coleman Ola Woods, Herschel Komblatt Shirley Shaver, Leo Fleming CLAIRVOYANCE If we should peer into the future, we might see something and come to the realization of some awful and staggering truths; to------- United States Supreme Court Chief Justice, Henry Amlin, upon being duly bribed and after receiving in consideration thereof the stipulated mill, concludes, after much deliberation with his head on a pillow and despite the volatile dissension of Preston Connor, that Ed Miller constitutes 197 pounds of primo facie evidence which does henceforth and forever annihilate the hypothesis asserting the incompatibility of athletics and mental gymnastics in one body. He does so on Doctor Charles Fluey’s statement that the law of impenetrability remains inviolate. Loulla Jo Dooley, Feminist associate justice hands down the corollarly decision which states that other righteous athletes should find out more about how to utilize this paradoxical potentiality as Ed has done. There’s the case of Fred Ellison. Any prudent man, like Billy Coleman for instance, would be convinced in a few moments beyond the slightest shadow of a doubt and to a moral certainty that he must have acquired his inexorable propensity for polysyllabicism from that lexicographical genius known as Noah Webster, who built the Ark that saves Miss Brown from a flood of unknown words and preserves Mr. Gonder from an inundation of mispronounced words. Mary Willard, although usually strictly fairdealing and wanting justice to be done, seems to have lobbied most effectively along with Finis Robbins, Ray Martin, and Ben Smith when that rare capacity for making good grades was apportioned. And by the way, Dudley King seems to be the product of pouring the whole of human commendabilities into one person. We hope he will be such a good doctor that he will ameliorate the qualms of even the antivivisection-ist.

Ed Miller’s Memory System I’m on my way now to the what do you call him, don’t you know, so much a visit and all, to find out whether it’s regular paresis or only inability to get my tongue on the right word. It’s been coming on sometime. I just noticed it when I forgot my own name at the roll call at the Armory. Never could remember other people’s names but when I forgot my own name —By Golly! I can’t even remember it now. W'ait a minute don’t tell me. Let me try my memory system. It helps me to a word by association of ideas. My name has something to do with Ed Morrison. I know that. Ed Morrison—Morrison—Morrison Milling Co., I know now. My name is Ed Miller. The reason I am going to the doctor is because the other day Mother told me to go to a department store and buy her a—now, wait—Pudding—pie—cake, a half dozen—er— pianos—piano keys—ivory keys—ivory soap. A half dozen cakes of Ivory soap, (writes on cuff). She wanted me to write it down then, but I guessed my brain would hold a half dozen cakes of Ivory soap and she said she guessed that was what was in my head instead of brains —You know the way a wife of long standing will talk to a fellow. Well I went down to the store thinking of a half dozen ways of remembering (consulting cuff) Ivory soap, but I was too proud to write it down then. I consulted Tip Hall the first floor walker I met, “I want to get something that floats— “Ships? Toy department in basement.” “No, it’s something that makes you live longer.” “Life preservers? They’re in the sporting goods department.” I left him in disgust and tried another. I said to Herchel Kornblatt, the next one, I want six cakes------- “Bakery department, sixth floor.” “No, No, they’re something in cakes—” “Carraway seeds grocery department, same floor.” “Hold on, this thing is advertised everywhere.” “Oh, why did not you say so that is breakfast food—same floor.” I shook my head and all my wits, I remembered the name. I said, “Say, this thing floats by the baby in the bath tub, and you can’t lose it!” “What the baby?” Said he. But before I could answer he walked off, and I accosted another.

I want SOAP!” He shook his head and said to Billy Whitson another floor-walker, who came up just then, “No use, Whitson. I’m getting almost as deaf as a post, you see what the gentleman wants.” By this time I had lost my temper, and I said to the floor-walker, “Oh you wouldn’t know what I want it’s only in every magazine in the world.” “Is it gunpowder?” said he in a Pacific tone of voice. “If it was I’d get it and blow this place to smithereens. Making me lose valuable time just because there is no one here with brains enough to guess what I want, although I’ve described its qualities over and over again. It’s what no housewife should be without.” “Why my dear friend,” said he, “there are fifty things in the grocery department that sell on that catch line. You’d better take the store aisle by aisle, there are only 240 miles of aisles, and keep your eyes peeled and when you see what you are looking for, put your hand on it and ask for it.” So I wandered aimless about for half an hour on various floors. At last I came to the playing card counter where they have counters of ivory, and as soon as I saw this ivory, I gave a whoop; jumped down and shouted at the top of my voice, “I WANT IVORY SOAP!! I WANT IVORY SOAP!! In a minute Preston Connor, a detective, had seized me and was leading me struggling to the street for he thought I’d gone mad. But I said, “It’s all right, I’m not mad, there it is.” Then I stepped to the clerk standing behind a pyramid of the (consulting shirt cuff) Ivory Soap and said, “Send me 6 cakes of this soap,” and then I left the store in a hurry and it wasn’t until that evening that I remembered that I had forgotten to give him my name and address, so of course I didn’t get my soap after all. So now I’m going to Dudley King, the doctor and get him to fix up my brain, for while there is life there is soap—I mean hope. But I believe I’m the only man in the U. S. who could forget the name of such a useful commodity as (cuff) IVORY SOAP.

You know, like camels, only vve only have them on every Tuesday, and we have gum every day. (Dentyne, good-for-the-teeth, preferred.) See that man standing over there? Well, that’s not Mr. Gonder. That’s Haywood Lusk. He is a gentleman, while Mr. Gonder is------ right over there. Don’t be frightened, those people on the stage aren’t dramatic students. Oh, no, they are some English Class practicing for assembly. The dramatic students are around under the seats and in Mr. Gonder’s hair. (He still has some.) Sure, this is dramatic class, but don’t pay any attention to that, no one else does. That’s Rudell Loftin and Jackie Hogue in the corner—the far, far corner. No, they aren’t rehearsing a love scene. Yes, I know it looks like it, but they are just brushing up for Saturday night. See that pair of legs hanging down through the ceiling over the stage? They belong to Ernie Lusk. He only furnishes part of the “monkey-business” that is attached to the class. Now, they’re gone, but they will appear again soon on the other side. Yeah, I heard someone giggle, but you didn’t miss anything. Ed Orr just told another funny (?) joke. Ah! Here comes Ed Morrison. He has been conversing with an “ex-dramatic” pupil on how to cross the stage with the accent on the right toe on the left foot. (She, the “ex”, is so-oo-o very technical.) There is Bcttye Annabelle Garbo Fladger. She is the dramatic pupil. (Pupil: Singular in number, plural in person—ality; one for W. B. Lum and the other for the “stage.”) You’re mistaken she isn’t crazy. The horns emphasize that she looks mad as the devil in the II act, scene 3, and the feathers are to show that she has a voice like a nightingale in act III, scene 6. Oh! She certainly is an actress. Hm-mm-m. Mr. Gonder is about to say something. Run over in the fartherest corner and see if you can hear him. Hey! That’s all right, come on back. We’ll ask Miss Murphy over at the gym next period what he said. Which reminds me. it’s time for the bell, and here comes Warren “Red” McWilliams trucking (?) down the aisle with the roll. Maybe, if we all hold our breath and Mr. Gonder comes out of his trance, we’ll get the roll checked ’cause it’s a half a second ’till the next period. Come back to see us sometime—and. Oh, yes!! Please don’t miss “Love Between Bells”, our gigantic, stupendous, collossal play to be JOKES Ed Morrison drove out in the country to see the sights, and he saw Jack Seagraves working in a field.

Kelsay, and Evelyn King-Kim Smith revolve about each other only a few billion miles distant—all keeping time, time, time to the weird, unearthly rhythm of Pat Trotter’s beating upon Mrs. Martin’s eardrum. During this course of insanity, Mary Lee Fouts, with all her judiciousness and profound solemnity would remark to Misses Bettye Ann Fladgcr and Emma Lou Long, “Although all this astronomical conglomeration is within the bounds I have computed, it is dangerous to stay longer.” Opportunely for Jane McElroy, Somebody stepped on her toe, and she added an emphatic A-men. At precisely 11:00 p. m., the time compressor would soar back to earth; and as it crashed, this author would chuckle and say, “Well, I guess I hit the jack-pot of absurdity with these four-bit words, if I didn’t atvociously and ludicrously misuse them.” Page 7 THE BRONCO’S TALE 1938 Frank Barrow’s Composition Monday: “Daddy, may I have the car today?” asked Bill.

Stanton have announced their intentions and determination to change the training rules. Mr. Mac said that the high school should train students for their leisure hours and should only give you what you need in later life. So the following rules were issued: 1. Every member of the team must stay out at the lake or go to mid-way until 12 every other night with a blond before you can even sign up. 2. Camels “good for digestion” must be smoked after every meal consisting of 2 pounds of chocolates and one pound of pecans. For dessert try a chew of “Days Work” or “Brown Mule.” 3. Increase your vocabulary by reading all good literature like “Lulu’s Back in Town” and “Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight.” A. O. Calhoun has appropriated money to build smoking rooms at the end of the up-stair hall for all the athletes. ------o------- Government Projects The following girls have joined the N. R. A. and are staying true to their code: Mary Jagoe, Janice Smith, Emmabell Ashburn, Helen Fitch, and Rosemary Pennell. They won’t go to dances or give high school boys a date. (Yeah, N. R. A.--never-really-asked.) But the boys who have waited on Lucille Hollers, Loola Jo Dooley, Emma Lou Long, and Rudell Loftin to comb their hair and get ready have joined the W. P. A.

Dear Auntie Advise, Why don’t I get invited to all the high school dances? In fact, why don’t I get to go to just one dance? I’m just a little bowlegged, rather heavy (250 pounds), and wear a size eleven shoe. Other than that and being knock-kneed and a few other things, I see no reason for my being left out. I don’t understand! In-the-dark-woods My Dear Miss Ola, Learning to dance may lighten your troubles. You know, dancing at a dance is quite important. Also practice walking with a book between your knees while you are raising and lowering your eyelashes v-e-r-y slowly. And after one high school dance you will have lost 150 Dounds. Yours truly— Dear Auntie, Why doesn’t Kim propose to me? I gave him a swell chance last night when everyone was quiet. Grandma was patching quilts, Gilda was playing her horn, and little sister was tap dancing. They stayed in their own corner of the living room and he still didn’t ask me to marry him! Puzzled Evelyn P. S. I can make fudge. Miss King, Why worry? Who wants a name like Smith anyway? Your friend in need— Dear Aunt, There is something wrong with Ed Morrison. I took off my hair ribbons and lengthened my skirts THREE inches. He didn’t even notice it! And the other night at play practice Ed said, “Won’t you come to a “cast” party tonight?” I was soo-ooo-o thrilled! And then he said. “I’ll send a taxi after you.” Why, oh, why????? Silent sufferer, Joyce P. Miss Mis-treated Powledge, Don’t you worry, I need onlv repeat one of your statements; “There is something wrong with Ed Morrison.
