Miss Voss’ chemistry lab may give the school an occasional smell,” but the study of science is one of the most promising in our high school today. Many enjoyable hours the auditorium during This student teacher from T.S.C.W. instructs the girls in a correctives course, one of various physical education courses taught under the supervision of Dr. Agnes Murphy. The Bronco fans give out with Yea purple, yea gold” for our district champs. have been spent in our days in Denton High. Five Year Program For Denton Public Schools Mr. Chester O. Strickland, superintendent of the Denton Public Schools, has observed the Denton schools carefully during the past year, and in doing so has developed a plan which will include within the next five years the construction of a Junior High School Building, including an auditorium and a gymnasium, a Shop and Homemaking building, a Negro School Building, and the renovation of the Robert E. Lee School Building. In observing matters which would improve our Senior High School, Mr. Strickland has proposed changes that will enlarge the cafeteria, a study hall room, the typing room and the superintendent’s office. He expects to get new and more complete stage equipment, a radio room in the speech room, an art room in the present homemaking room, a press room, and a conference room for student teachers. Repairs on the Band Hall and the Auto-Mechanics Building, enlarging the dressing room at the football stadium, and supplying fire escapes throughout the system are to be done. In the personnel department, adjustments include additional teachers to take care of the expanded program; more male teachers throughout the system; a health nurse; a head of the Girls’ Physical Education Department; and a head of the Homcmaking Department. Over-all adjustments are to be brought about by giving the public more information about the school and making the patrons feel that it is their school and upon them rests a part of the responsibility of making Denton Public Schools the best. The colleges are to be shown that the public schools appreciate their cooperation. And above all the citizens, students, and faculty should be satisfied with nothing but the best, stated Mr. Strickland. Denton is asking for the best there is in education, and it is Mr. Strickland’s opinion that the above mentioned recommendations will go a long way in causing the public to respect the public school and likewise support such a system. OUR SUPERINTENDENT To every student in Denton the name of Chester O. Strickland is pleasantly familiar. For only one year he has been superintendent of the Denton Public Schools, but during that short time he has established a record of which any man in such a responsible-position might be proud. Mr. Strickland came to Denton in August, 1946, from Hereford, Texas. In spite of the fact that Mr. Strickland is such a busy person, every student will admit that he conveys the feeling of being a personal friend to each individual. We’re proud of Mr. Strickland, and we’re all with him hand and heart. Mr. Chester O. Strickland OUR PRINCIPAL Prof,” as he is affectionately called by students and faculty alike, has the responsibility of keeping the wheels of the school oiled and in a perfect working condition. In the execution of these tasks he has given us no cause for complaint. Our principal has been steering the course of Denton High School for a number of years and 3s each student leaves its hall, he takes with him, among his many fond memories of high school, an everlasting picture of Prof.” Mr. A. O. Calhoun O. G. ROARK Bookroom Custodian Mr. Roark is always at the beck and call” of both faculty and students. He keeps the study hall and book room. CAROLYN DOBBINS Secretary Miss Dobbins is the superintendent’s secretary and bookkeeper. She has proved herself very genial and helpful to everyone in D. H. S. since coming here in the fall. She is assisted by Mrs. James B. Hudson, who was recently employed as attendance clerk. CARA L. BOSWELL Librarian Miss Boswell has made great improvements in the library of D. H. S. She is making it function as a real library should. Her efforts are appreciated. BOARD OF EDUCATION Fred H. Minor, President Sam Lancy, Secretary R. W. Bass, Treasurer W. F. Brooks Ben C.

Maybe one says, ''We’ll win the game.'' Then one thinks of the glory and fame. The coach looks around, And the look in his eyes Makes one think that he's really surprised That the boys are thinking with all their minds At the end cf this game, we'll not be behind. Anyway, boys, we want you to know We're backing you all, and we know that you'll go! —Jack Gray, Jr. e. tWtJ' Kim 6eh -til he. ha j USE EVER'S DEPENDABLE HARDWARE 63 Years in Denton Stoves—Tools—Sporting Goods South Phone 200 South Side Square THE ARISTOCRAT One-Stop Station Fountain and Food Service Side Square Denton I had a little collie pup, I dug a hole and covered him up, Now I sit there by the hour, Waiting for a collie-flower.

What’s the matter? Mary Louise: Well, I found a hair in the ice cream, a hair in the honey, and a hair in the applesauce. Manager: You did? Well, that’s funny, I can understand how the hair got in the ice cream. It came from shaving the ice, and the hair in the honey probably came from the comb. But what gets me is the hair in the applesauce. I bought the apples myself, and they were all Baldwins. Calhoun Attempts to Discipline Grid Team Cuddly Calhoun, Prcfessor that is, took it upon himself to keep our wearers of the D for several hours after school after they cut classes the afternoon before the Bonham footall game. There was only one injury reported, but she is expected to be in top shape for next week's game. This happened when Calhoun shut the door on our damsels before they could get enough room to be comfortable. Our star guard, 347 pound Blushing Bum Wadley kept trying to get up off the floor in an attempt to get a breath before being trampled to death by fellow team mates. The show was good while it lasted, but room 209 just couldn't quite hold our players for the hours after school. Calhoun had to open all the windows, as the girls wore about to bulge out of the room. 200 pound Dimpled Dribble-snoot Davidson, end, lightest player on the team, was practically suffocated between 240 pound Starry-eyed Snooper Storrie, tackle, and guard Marcella Stuart, weighing 322 pounds. As Tubby Johnson, 431 pound center, drew in her breath to walk down the aisle to sharpen her pencil, our star full- back, 422 pound Lucious Lug-head Lovette moved over an inch so she could breathe a little deeper. Then, our practical joker, Heavenly Hunk Hiler, 362 pound guard, cracked a funny; the walls really stretched as 423 pound Melodious Mop Nean” Massey, an outstanding back, burst out giggling, and Calhoun tried his best to push aside the bouncing beauties to shut her big mouth. Then, and only then, could Peach Pig Piott, back, tipping the scales at 303, decide to comb her mop of strings, and everyone gasped as she demanded more elbow room. But that isn't the last straw. Glowing Glutton Goodman, 218 pound end, decided the team needed more pep for the game, and ju t had to exercise her lungs, as there wasn't re cm to move a muscle, which she didn't have. All in all, the team received a very good workout, rubbing elbows and shins all those dreary afternoon in room 209. If members of the team aren't mentioned they were crushed beyond recognition by the above mentioned team mates, and the sports writer was unable to decide who the scraps belonged to.

Kearns and Smoot Ruin Contest Short-stuff” Kearns and Five-by-fivc” Smoot crushed Sonny Hibler’s chances in the Lgg Throwing Contest by cutting the egg-of-his-eye” half in two looking for an embryo. The boys were in the starting line-up, ready for the gun to bang or the whistle to blow, when Kearns and Smoot dashed up, snatched the egg from Sonny, and in dead seriousness, Kearns laughingly, but viciously began whacking away, while Smoot looked on in admiration. All Sonny could do was stand there looking astonished, his mouth hanging open, and the tears began to roll down his checks as the whistle blew, or the gun banged, and he knew he’d lost. After all, how could he win with no egg to enter the contest? Of course we can’t be too hard on the punishment of these Public Enemy No. 1 characters, for they were taught this destructive but interesting and entertaining job in Bugology. The only thing the public can do to protect itself from these characters that break out of room 506, is to Stop, Look, and Listen.” The contest continued, but the spectators were heartbroken, as Hibler had been chosen to win. My Dashhund There was a little dashhund once So long he had no notion How long it took to notify His tail of his emotion.
