After all the guests had arrived the boys rendered an entertaining musical program, then various interesting games were played, including proposals written by the young ladies to the young men, who in turn had the liberty, as it was leap year, of accepting or refusing the proposal. Delightful refreshments of cake, ice cream, and candy were served. SENIOR-FRESHMEN PARTY On Thursday, February 28, the Seniors gave the Freshmen a party at the City Auditorium. The Freshmen all came dressed as old men and women, while the Seniors, and the teachers that came, were dressed as small boys and girls. When everybody had arrived we began playing old-fashioned country games. Before we could get tired of one game, by a well planned program, we would begin something new, and anyone who did not have a good time had better go to a good doctor. At a late hour the girls were asked to find their partners and we were served on sandwiches, soda water and candy. FOOTBALL ENTERTAI NM EN TS When our boys began the upward climb in' football, the good people of El Campo began to want to show their appreciation of a winning team. After we had defeated Edna, we were royally entertained, the Edna boys included, at the home of Mrs. B. S. Wright. Many games were played, including get acquainted games. This made our boys realize that the town was backing them up and they put forth a greater effort to show what they were made of. The next surprise came when we had defeated Goose Creek. The girls gave us a dance and party at the Mack Webb Hall. The Goose Creek players were present and we tried to show them the code of a good sportsman. They left El Campo with a feeling that even though they were defeated, they had left friends behind. Beaumont came over to play us for the district finals and we were defeated. But still the town people were behind us,and we were again entertained at the City Auditorium. This time we were feeling blue over our first defeat, but we made the most of it and most of us went home feeling that folks understood and did not hold the blame on us for losing the game.

Finally they were able to get enough men out to make a good team. Those answering the call were, Zuber, Wright, Fromen, Schoenfield, V. Zuber, Shaver, Webb, Thomas, Benson, Glaze, Cummings and Yoas. From this small squad Mr. Cooper had to pick eight men to take to the district meet. As El Campo is the only Class A school in the county, we did not have to compete with the other schools, but to make the county meet more interesting, we held the meet here and competed with the other smaller schools. It was easily a walk-over, El Campo winning fourteen out of a possible twenty first places. We could use as many men in the county meet as we wished, but from these there were to be picked eight to go to the district.. Of these men, Zuber, Schoenlield, Thomas, and Benson ran the relay, and easily won it. Zuber, Benson and Webb, ran the quarter, Benson, Webb, and Fromen ran the half, Cornett ran the mile, Shaver pole vaulted, Wright, Thomas, Cummings were in the High jump, Zuber, Shaver, Yoas, in broad jump, Cummings and Schoenfield ran the hurdlesg R. Zuber, V. Zuber and Shaver ran the 220, Shaver, Schoenfield and V. Zuber ran the century, V. Zuber and Shaver ran the fifty, Wright, Glaze, and Cummings handled the weights. Mr. Corry had charge of the Junior track men and put out a very good team. Those answering the junior call were Hill, H. Garner, E. Garner, Wehrman, Turner. They took several first places in the county meet, and showed that we will have a fine Senior track team in the future. Those Senior men that are leaving us this year are, R. Zuber, Wright, Schoenfield, VVebb, Benson and Yoas. But we have some promising mate- rial in the men that are staying for next year. Some of them are new and in- experienced but they will find their places next year and we will again have a winning track team. There will be several new men come to El Campo from other schools to help us keep the loving cup that we, this year, won from their school. Page sixty-six

Mr. Kel- lem was a reader and imitator as well as a singer. Tlt young lady was a line musi- cian and singer. She introduced us to the piano-accordion which was something new to us. DR. CHURCH The second number was given by Dr. Frank Church, who spoke on New Ameri- ca. He told us of the morals that must be used to preserve this nation. He was an ex-service man and knew the conditions existing today. We left much wiser than we came. THE MOLLUSC The third was even better than the first two. This was a three act play show- ing the result of a life that has been spent in luxury and idleness. The mind func- tions improperly and this kind of people usually call on some one else to do every thing for them. This should be enough to open our eyes. i IRENE BEWLEY lV1iss Bewley was an imitator and reader. She had the kind of voice that en- abled her to play several different parts in one play, and make them seem real. THE SCOTTS Mr. and Mrs. Scott were just another example of the Scotch and Irish com- bination. He was a full hlooded Scotchman and could not help it. She was Irish and did not want to help it. They gave an excellent show, besides some fine music on the Scotch Bagpipes. THERESA SHEENAN COMPANY The Theresa Sheenan Company consisted of three young ladies all of different nationalities. One was American, one French and Miss Sheenan herself was Irish. This was a fine musical program and we heard some wonderful music. Miss Shee- nan herself was a good imitator of birds and could make a frog ashamed of himself when it came to croaking. Page .vixty-r'ighl
