Holmes Has there any old fellow got mixed with the boys? If there has, take him out, without making a noise. Hang the Almanac’s cheat and the Catalogue’s spite! Old Time is a liar! We’re twenty tonight! We’re twenty! We’re twenty! Who says we are more? He’s tipsy—young jackanapes!—show him the door! “Gray temples at twenty?”—Yes! white, if we please; Where the snow-flakes fall thickest there’s nothing can freeze. Was it snowing 1 spoke of? Excuse the mistake! Look close,—you will not see a sign of a flake; We want some new garlands for those we have shed,— And these are white roses in place of the red! We’ve a trick, we young fellows, you may have been told, Of talking (in public) as if we were old;— That boy we call “Doctor,” and this we call “Judge,”'— It’s a neat little fiction,—of course it’s all fudge. That fellow’s the “Speaker,”—the one on the right; “Mr. Mayor,” my young one, how are you tonight? That’s our “Member of Congress,” we say when we chaff; There’s the “Reverend” what’s his name?—don’t make me laugh. There’s a boy, we pretend, with a three-decker-brain, That could harness a team with a logical chain; When he spoke for our manhood in syllabled fire, Just read on his medal, “My Country, of thee!” You hear that boy laughing,—You think he’s all fun; But the angels laugh, too, at the good he has done; The children laugh loud as they troop to his call, And the poor man that know’s him laughs loudest of all! Yes, we’re boys,—always playing with tongue or with pen,— And I sometimes have asked,—Shall we ever be men? Shall we always be youthful and laughing and gay, Till the last dear companion drops smiling away? Then here’s to our boyhood, its gold and its gray! The stars of its winter, the dews of its May! And when we have done with our life-lasting toys, Dear Father, take care of thv children, THE BOYS! The election of the 1 Iigh School Queen has become a part of the tradition of Senior I Iigh School. The contest opens about the middle of April, and the girls with the largest number of votes are then nominees for the coveted honor. The identity of the queen is kept a secret until the night of her coronation which is always on the night of the Senior Class play. The queen has the privilege of selecting her own king for the coronation. The favorite contest is always a gala affair in I). II. S., and the students look forward to campaigning for their favorite nominee. The most interesting phase of this contest is the day on which campaign speeches are made in assembly. The halls on that day are covered with placards calling attention to the merits of the candidates. The results of this contest are announced as soon as the votes are counted. The winners of this election and also the nominees of the election are represented on the following pages.

Although most of his boys were inexperienced, he turned out a team that had a never-sav-die spirit. Many times Mr. Carter found times when the chips were down, but he always managed to pull his boys through. Mr. Carter was most ably assisted by Morris Wallace this fall. Mr. Wallace won the respect and admiration of all the boys on the team. He won the boys’ hearts with his football sentiments. We owe our thanks to two fine men such as they are. Business Manager Mr. H. D. Roberts, as in the years before, has been our very efficient business manager the past season. He takes care of the business cycles, usually unthought of in the Bronco’s athletic machine. The students and faculty take this means of expressing their gratitude to Mr. Roberts and his fine undying efforts. A machine cannot work without all its parts. J. L. Johnson as head manager proved to be one of the main cogs in the Bronco machine. J. L. was ably assisted bv Bob Pearson and Mack Gay. The team appreciates these boys’ splendid attitude and efforts and realizes that managers are an essential to every team.

Joe Sherrill—Center “Rusty” was the best center in the district this year. He could always he depended upon to give a good snap-hack and get up and block his man. His alert defensive play put many a knot in the opposing team’s offensive. Joe should be even better next fall. Richard R ay zor— 7'aekle Although “Dixie” was suffering from injuries most of the season, his defensive and offensive play was tops. He could always be depended upon to do more than his share. He charged hard and blocked as good as any man in the district. This was his last year for D. H. S. George Klein—Guard George was one of the best guards in the district this season. His opponents will remember his crushing tackles and rugged blocking. George was tough, and he was imbued with a spirit that never said die. George was the mainstay in our line this year, and he will be missed next year. Ed Williams—Guard This was Ed’s first year to play football. He did remarkably well for the training lie had had at his guard position. He was always in there playing a fine brand of ball. His experience this year should make him a valuable man next fall. CURTIS SARG E X T— 7VU'kle “Sarge” was one of the hardest charging tackles in the district this year. His whip kicks taught the opponents to stay out of his way. “Sarge” has taken up a uniform for Uncle Sam. Robert Ford—Tackle “Bob” played his first year of football this season. He turned in a fine brand af ball and could always be depended upon. He was alert and blocked hard. Bob” will not be back next year.

He will be in the Bronco lineup next fall. Jack Bartox—Center Goat” also played his first season for the Broncos this year. He could always be depended upon to be in the midst of every play and his snap-backs were seldom in the wrong spot. “Goat” will be Lack in the Bronco lineup next fall. Fred Meredith—End Bull” was one of our glue-fingered ends this season. His opponents respected his hard blocking and tackling. His ability to go down the field on punts set the rivaling teams back on their heels many times. Bull” should be the best end in the district next fall. J a m es Cur l—Back “Kirksie” was our tailback this year. IIis success was largely due to the fact that he put his all into every game he played. He was elected co-captain of the team and his football abilities proved that he deserved this honor. James’ position will be hard to fill next fall. Egbert Davis—Back Egg” was the best fullback in the district this year. He was our quarterback and field general as well as the most versatile player on the field. “Egg” will be remembered by the Bronco’s opponents as well as his fellow team mates. He played his last game for the Purple and Gold against McKinney before taking up a uniform for Uncle Sam. Sam Sauls—Back Sad Sam” turned in a commendable performance this year, playing his second season with the Broncos. Sam was fast and ran hard and gained yardage that otherwise the Broncos might have been without. Sam was well liked by the other members of the team and will be missed next fall. Edwin KIle—End “Worm” was one of the fastest men on the team. He could get down the field on punts and passes with the best of them. He played a rugged defensive game and blocked hard.

He played smart football and should play a bang up” game next season. W i.lace Hopki xs—Back Wa Wa” played his first season for the Broncos this year. He was fast and swivel hipped and a hard man to get hold of. “Wa Wa” will be back next fall and should develop into one of the finest backs in the entire district. J une Davis—Back “June Bug” was only a sophomore this year and made the varsity team. June, like his big brother “Egg,” was a hard driver and a fierce man on defense. lie played hard and rough like all the Davis’s before him. June will be an outstanding plaver in this district next fall. Terry Tate—Back Turtle” is a fine all round athlete and a letterman from last year’s team. His fine running ability and ball handling proved to be of real value to the Broncos. He will not return next fall. Elbert Lewis—Back ‘Sonny” pioved to be one of the most valuable men for his size on the team. Although this was his first year to letter, he was always in on the tackle or picking up yardage. He always put everything he had into the game. “Sonny” returns next fall aud much is expected of him. FOOTBALL - 1944 The Broncos started the season with few veterans returning last fall, and came out with a tie tor second place in the District Six race. The “underdog” Broncos held the strong Highland Park Scotties to a twenty to seven decision. The Scots finished second in the entire state schoolboy football race. Considering the handicaps of such a small school in the same district with larger schools, the Broncos were a fine team with a fine fighting spirit. We are looking forward to having a fine team that we hope will go far next fall.

Although the club has carried out numerous social functions, it has not been what vou might term a “very active club”. The club is more of an honor club and is not expected to carry our specific duties of the school. It is our wish that the club survive as long as possible. OFFICERS OF THE “D” CLUB President........................-.....Bill Turner Vice-President.......................Fred Meredith Secretary............................ Elbert Lewis Treasurer ......................... George Klein Basketball 1944 - '45 Mr. Clyde Carter—Coach The potentialities of any man are measured by the manner in which he applies himself to the work he is to do. Coach Clyde Carter has proved to us his abilities by fielding teams that are well known throughout the entire state. His unfailing efforts toward athletics in the Denton High School are appreciated by the student body and faculty. Bill TURXER—Manager Bill was our very efficient manager this season. Too much cannot be said for a good manager. Always willing to do something for the boys without a quibble was Bill. We all appreciate a manager who is willing to work and stick by the team as he has done. We thank you. Bill. Front Row Manager Bill Turner, J. I.. Johnson, Terry Tate, Joe Sherril, Wallace Hopkins. Back Row June Davis, Fred Meredith, Sam Laney, Richard Razor, James Magil, Coach Clyde Carter. A. V. Collins—Center “Cull” was the big boy who was always in there playing the game hard and tough. His abilities to take the ball off the back board and to work the ball into a scoring position made him an outstanding player. “Cull” saw his high school ambition come true—playing on the team that beat Highland Park. Richard Ravzor—Forward Richard's clever footwork and good dribbling sparked the Broncos to more than one victory. His specialty was the crip-shot. Richard was one of the smoothest, most accurate players in the district. He was individual high scorer for the Broncos the first semester. It was a hard job filling the large gap left when Richard graduated at midterm. JAMES CI RI.—Cuard James’ heads-up play and coolness on the court set an example rarely equalled on the basketball court. He kept things going and led the Broncos out of a lot of hot spots. James will not be back next fall. JoE S H ERRILL—Forward Joe was one of the “fightenest” boys on the team. He was always in there fighting for the ball. Joe was cool and able to play the game as steady as any man on the team. He will be back next year for the Purple and Gold. Terry Tate—Guard Terry was one of the most dependable men on the team. He had a good eye for the basket and was a fast thinking, smooth working floor man. Terry ends a brilliant athletic career in D. H. S. this spring. Fred Meredith—Center Fred was inexperienced at the opening if the season, hut he tried hard and did his best. He learned fast and proved to be one of the most constant players on the team. Fred should turn into one of the finest players in the district next year. S A M La X EY—C uard Although Sam did not get to play much this season, when he was in there, he was giving his best. That is all that is expected of any man. Sam was one of the steadiest players on the B” squad. His consistent playing made him a valuable man. Wallace Hopkixs—Forward Wallace played his second season with the Broncos this year. He was a dependable player and could be counted upon to give the opposing teams a headache. His ability to work the ball into a scoring position made him a valuable man. fie returns next year. Ju ne Davis—Forward June was a first year man this season. His ability to hustle the ball kept up the team’s spirit. His fight and determination and never dying spirit should make him an outstanding player in his years to come. Basketball -1944-1945 The Broncos finished second in the district race this season. Although we did not win the title, we, as well as others, believe that the Broncos were the best team in the entire district. We defeated the district champs in our last game of the season showing the fine “Bronco” spirit that is traditional of the Denton I ligh School. The Broncos are looking forward to a successful basketball season next year.

There was a bit of trouble acquiring seats as a couple-a-hundred other students went on the trip also. After an hour of confusion—the bus finally rambled along the countryside. Cara Boswell was forced to sit on the lap of Mr. Patterson as there was no other place to seat herself. Joe Smoot rode on the top of the bus with the other birds and threw peanuts to his followers; while Becky gave a few yells with the other kids. As there was no other place for Wilma to sit, she sat herself on the floor and played patty cake with a nearby student. Sonny and Kirby hung out of the windows and took snap shots. After a relaxing trip the staff returned to the waiting wheel chairs. Advice to Girls New Quintette Goes Over Big! P. Q.

After this hot number, Cutie Carter sang a solo—“Sweet and Lovely.” The new quintette and the sextette are certainly outstanding assets to our school entertainment.

Several months ago the Iwakta Club had their cabin party in the gym. All boys were invited to stay, but they left around 3:30 as that is the usual time for school activities to be over. A bar was fixed up at one end of the gym which was presided over by Liston Payne and the Linnensch midt girls. As usual the floor was crowded with dancers. The three couples dancing were Billie Jane Yates vs. Joe Smoot, Kenneth Lambert vs. Winifred Cromer, and Wilkie Bolton 99-and-44 100% for Lana Turner. The football boys were dragged away from the bar and everyone went down to the cafeteria for refreshments. Spaghetti was entwined neatly around the table legs and meat balls hung from the ceiling. After eating, the boys left and all the lovely little pledges were initiated. They all enjoyed it so much each one asked to go through it again. As the girls all remember, everyone looked her best and neat as a pen (hog pen) before retiring. Groups huddled together up and down the halls and beat their gums over the choice scandal of the day. We finally managed to quiet the chaperones down for a few hours and everyone slept soundly in the halls of D.H.S. Collins Entertains PU Oct. 84, 1612 Archibald Viapole Collins entertained his little playmates Friday afternoon at his home.

Mrs. Collins then served pink lemonade and bubble gum. A package of Lucky’s was given to the boy who blu-blue-blowed the biggest bubble. P.S. Frankie Tate won!

Your staff: Back-page Becky, Scoop Smoot, Whiz Watson, Linotype Lewis and Cut-Corners Kirby chaperoned by Butch Boswell, armed with cameras and typewriters battled our way through the back door. Ann Love and Curtis Sargent had already found the darkest corner much to the disappointment of Lee Preston and Bibbie Spaulding. Sir Hopkins, dressed as a knight of King Calhoun’s Court, was at the back door announcing the guests. Prof, and Betty Newman tried to sneak out the window and go down to the Pig, but Jack Oit abiding by the rules (as usual) politely told them to “get the -------- back inside.” George Klein was just LOOKING at June. The lights were turned off from the time the guests arrived until 2:00 a.m. when the party was over. The absence of the lights was to save strain on the guests’ eyes and to conserve electricity, OF COURSE. Poetry Section Horses head Horses knee Horses neck and so do we! Of all the fishes in the sea I’d rather be a perch. I’d climb upon a slippery rock And perch. When the moon is down And the twinkling stars no longer twink, These words drift gently Through my troubled mind ? “Ye gods, but it’s dark.” Quotations? Bob Pearson: A magnet is a thing you find in a bad apple. O. W. Smith—A scout is a fiend to all and a bother to every other scout. Jean Westbrook—A period is a dot at the end of a sentence. Period costumes are therefore all covered with dots. Bob Castleberry — Robinhood is a word like boyhood or girlhood, it means to feel like a robin and hop around. The D.H.S. Mares Mangle The Hi Park Pooches Sap: Last week the Mares met the Pooches half way on our home stomping grounds. The crowd cheered when the Mares came charging out, led by the star of the team, La Nelle Whiteside, fall back. The stadium shook when the cheer leaders—George Klein, Bill Turner, Wa Wa Hopkins, Worm Kile, Eldon Traster, Charlie Mann, and Charles Langham, gave out with, “California orange juice, Arizona cactus, we play Highland Park just for the practice.” The game started off with a boing! The Mares charged through the Pooche’s line laying them flat. While the Sinner cackled, the slingback ran across the wrong end into the front yard and left out. At this crucial moment our powerful fall back got the ball and waltzed down toward the mad ghoul. Madeline Murphree the H20 Jill rushed out with 7 UP and peanuts for the players. In the last two minutes of play, the Mares made 25 touchdowns and killed all the Pooches. The only injuries suffered by our players were that Jean Westbrook’s lipstick was smeared and Jean Settle’s sweeping eyelashes came unglued. The team was awarded a 13-ft. ten karat gold cup for it’s bravery. The starting lineup of the game was: Wrong End—Mary J. Childers, 82 grams. Right Cackle—Jean Settle, 185 whats. Front Yard — Virginia Redding, 50 rods. Sinner — Frances Kahn, V-i pint. I eft Guard—Doris Elrod, 200 gallons. Left Cackle — Joyce McConnell, 1 nitwit. Left Out — Jean Westbrook. 73 chords. Slingback—Neva Fanning 85 ounces. Blocking Sack — Martha J Wills, 150 grains. Fall Back — Lanelle White-side, 250 miles. Draw Back—Genevieve IIoo-ton, 2 feet. EXTRA Flash! Training Rules To Be Changed for All D.H.S. Athletics At the suggestion of the boys of D.H.S. all training rules will be changed according to Coaches Carter and Wallace. Boys participating in any type of athletics must drink at least two soda pops each day which will be furnished by the school board. Each boy must have at least seven dates a week, and must keep his girl out until at least 2 a.m. He will get so tired of girls that he will not think of them during a game. He must smoke not less than one cigar a day as smoking makes you have a long wind. Under no circumstances must he work out more than one day a week as he may become tired and run down. Last but not least he must not come to school more than one day a week as we do not wish the boys to become tired of school and drop the courses they do not like. If any one sees any one of the boys breaking these rules, they are asked to report them to one of the coaches.
