Give your parents the best of respect It will keep them from having so many gray hair and save so many heartaches. I would say that best of all is: go to church and Sunday School; the Lord was hung on a cross for our sins, that through him we might be saved. He has given us so many precious promises, “Seek and ye shall find,’ “Knock and it shall be opened unto you.'1 I would like to thank you again for your kindness. Your Friend, HARDY LEE HALLUM Ok DEDICATION WE, the Wings Summit Staff, gladly dedicate the 1947 Annual to Mr. HARDY LEE HALLUM. We are thankful for every remembrance of you— THE STAFF MR. HALLUM SUPERINTENDENT TONE OF VOICE Supt. E. B. Fleming It is not so much what you say, As the manner in which you say it; It is not so much the language you use. As the tones in which you convey it. “Come here!” I sharply said, And the baby cowered and wept; “Come here!” I cooed and he looked and smiled, And straight to my lap he crept. The words may be mild and fair, And the tones may pierce like a dart; The words may be softe as the summer air, And the tones may break the heart. For words but come from the mind. And grow by study and art; But the tones leap forth from the inner self. And reveal the state of the heart. Whether you know it or not— Whether you mean or care. Gentleness, kindness, love and hate, Envy and anger are there. Then would you quarrels avoid. And in peace and love rejoice. Keep anger not only out of your words. But keep it out of your voice. —Sarah Edwards Ilenshaw PRINCIPAL f Prin. Mrs. John W. Smith TO TEACHERS Some carve in the white gleaming marb’e The things that in fancy they see; Some fix them with canvas and color, And bring them to you and to me. Some guide with “thou shalt and “thou shalt not. Some seek to inspire with a song; You build with a subtle material— The traits that shall make the race strong. When the statues have weathered and fallen, When the paint on the canvas is dead; When the precepts of priests are forgotten, And the songs and their singer are sped, You shall live in the lives you have moulded. And led with the courage of ten. The Great Master Workman be with you! I hail you. ye makers of men! —James C. Harwood STUDENT SELF GOVERNMENT DEPT. All good government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed. -George Washington. The best government is the one that teaches us to govern ourselves. Realizing that just Rules and Regulations are no restraint upon the FREE- DOM of the good, the students of Ector High School organized a Student Counc.l to govern themselves. The student body nominated and elected the members of the Student Coun- cil. Being its first year of existence, the Council had to crawl before it could walk. It weathered a “Stormy Year” of experience but came through in flying colors, hold- ing the highest respect of all the students and teachers who love good government. To be a member of the Student Council was rated by the student as one of the highest honors in the school. AIM: That the guilty be punished. Equal rights to all. $i ecinl priviledges to none.

Put now, as we leave our sophomore year, We dance and sing with glee No more to be called “underclassmen But to the Junior’s seat of honor we spring, And as far as our knowledge goes, We have not missed a thing. W||ile still a little Sophomore, Father time seemed to stand still. But after we have made the grade, We’ve reached the top of the hill. The rest of the w£y, we’ll travel on, With all the greatest of ease. We’ll keep our characters strong, For we are out to please. The dozen and a half that’s in our class. Are the best that you can find. And you can bet, that, In the years to come, We won’t be left behind. —KATIE REDMAN FRESHMAN GLASS David W.

We are the Players. If we play our parts well, there will be much said about it. If not played so well; no one seems to mind. A good dramatist keeps himself out of sight; lets nothing appear but the character he is acting. The moment he attracts attention to himself, the character he is acting disappears. I he real dramaist, like the poet, is born, not made. There must be inspira- tion behind all true art. “MEET UNCLE SALLY” A funny three act play presented by Journalism Students.

JOURNALISM DEPARTMENT Journalism is the highest form of Literature; for literature is journalism. It is well written if it gets itself read. Much that passes for deep thought, is only poor writing or hay. He writes best whose writing is easiest understood. If you would have it to live, put it into writing that generations unborn might read. “I fear three newspapers, more than three thousand bayonets.”—Napoleon. ‘‘Human rights are tied up in the written technicalities of the law.” — F. It. Blosser. Writing is an art at which all tire and few ever master. He who can write can rule, By influencing the minds of men. Time has proven that the sword is, Less mighty than the pen.

Love builds homes, Money builds houses. “I’d rather serve where love is than reign where love is not. Home is where we are always welcome whether w'e deserve it or not. Men’ll go to war and fight until they die for their homes but not for hotels. Life is not all ‘Kitchen and dinning room’, what goes on by the family fireside is of greater importance than what goes on the statudte books. “Takes a lot a’living to make a house a home.—Edgar A. Guest.” “What you would have in the nation, plant it in the school,” Roosevelt. Master the Fine Art of Living Together and you will never live in a broken home.

For with EVERY rising sun, I come and speak And bid you rise and fight again.” xr - We are living in an age of poor speakers, if you would be a leader of men learn to think and speak on your feet “Congress shall make no laws. . .abridging the freedom of speech or of the press.” First amendment to the Constitution of the United States. “Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech.” from II Corinthians 3:12. A bell is known by its sound; a man, by his speech, whether he be wise or foolish. A soft answrer turneth aw'ay wrath. Proverbs 15:1. If you are wise: “Five things observe with care: To whom you speak, of whom you speak and how, and w'hen, and here.” —W. E. Norris. Test of a good speech: “Have something to say, Say it, and Sit down,” all the way down. “Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with SALT.” Bible, Col. 4:6. 4-H-CLUB New Fulp 4-H Club is one of the new clubs in the county, according to County Agent Young, the outlook is good for a fine working group of boys.

BOY’S PHYSICAL EDUCATION “Manhood not scholarship is the first Aim of Education.” Education is developing the Heart, the Head, and the Hand; “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” So we play. Hard playing is hard work. The Ector Eagles had a hard row to hoe; few in number, no experience, no trained coach. Battling against many odds, they came through the season with few victories and many scars. Like Washington, they lost more battles than they won but won the last; the battle with self. There is not a better bunch of Sportsmen in the District than the Eagles. They fought long and hard when no sign of victory was in sight.

Fleming, coached the girls’ basketball team to winning fourth place in the District Championship. The Eagles were rated as one of the finest group of girl athletes in the district. In soccer they played to win as hard as any boys’ team ever played for victory. In softball they defeated Randolph, Bells, Dodd City and Whitewright. Per- haps they enjoyed defeating Savoy more than any other rival team. PHYSICAL ED CLUB Front Row: Betty Lou Amlin.

Their ungentlemanliness repel patronage, and nat- urally business that might be theirs goes to others who are really less deserving but more friendly. Politeness is the Hallmark of a Gentleman, the lack of it stamps one as being boorish, rude and brutish. We all like to appear that we are wellbred and struggle hard to be rich, when good manners are worth more than both. Good monners are within the reach of all who cultivate them. “It has been discovered that most people get jobs through their friend.” —Dannie Bellows “If you are going to work for a man, for God’s sake work for him, not against im.”—Elbert Hubbard. My Salute to the school year of 1946-47. I may not pass all of my subjects, but I have learned more this year than any year in school. The Student Council is needed more in school than any subject taught. I hope t Ector school has a Student Council throughout the years. Farewell to the Seniors of ‘47.
