MORRIS WORKS. Morris, our ‘4 ladies’ man ” has been liis mother’s baby until he began to associate intimately with Jack. FERN TATE. We hope, Fern, the war won’t prevent your going to Virginia. If Texas schools can not satisfy your ambition, we are pleased to know that the United States has some that can. Come back to dear old Ennis to get your good looking rich man. WILL CURD. Such a well known character, as Will scarcely needs a word of biographical nature. He is a hard student and his popularity among his classmates has been shown by the many offices he has held in the different class organizations. He is especially fond of athletics. RUTH BUTLER. Ruth is a very sweet, attractive girl. Some day she expects to return to her former home, Denison, and teach the younger generation.

MARKOLETA S WE ATM AN. Markoleta is one of the most popular girls in our class. She places her school work above every pleasure. This fact is shown by her resignation of the presidency of our class and by her refusal to participate in all school day joys. GERTRUDE HOWARD. Gertrude must surely have a clear conscience, for she can sleep on any and all occasions. The English room is especially one of her favorite nodding places. She is one who puts into practice the maxim “Laugh and the world laughs with you.” EUGENE WALKER. Eugene, the class dude, has a disposition to be appreciated by his fellow classmates. He has been very liberal with his car and, a remarkable thing in a boy, he always does his part. EMMA KATE McELROY. Emma Kate has won many friends (not all Senior friends either) by her coquettish smiles and behind them her sunny, unselfish nature. She can’t decide on her career. The photographer says she is a good “poser.” wait till leap year and we’ll see if the “pros” win.

HISTORY OF SENIOR CLASS. Every pupil who is a member of the Senior Class of 1915 of Ennis High School has a just cause to be proud of himself. It has been an unusual class in many respects. First let us look at it from the standpoint of quantity. It has been the largest class in high school since the Freshman year. We found out after we became more “dignified” that the “Freshies” were not criticised in a mean way, for everyone complimented and encouraged us. Now let us view the class in respect to the quality. Throughout the four years’ course the per cent of the class as a whole has been the highest ever known in the history of the school. The members seem to have been, from the first, striving for as much as could possibly be attained by high school children. Next in importance to these qualifications we should notice the class organization. Our first class organization was made in our Junior year. The class organized with forty members. Fred Harper was chosen as our president and Gertrude Mann as our vice president. Our Senior class organized with thir-ty-eight members. Markoleta was our first Senior president, but on ac count of her work was forced to resign. Ruby Goodwin was our next president; Morris Works served as vice president; and Fred Crumley as secretary. Out of our large class grew several smaller organizations. A mixed debating club was organized, but owing to the other work we were forced to drop it be fore the Senior year came to a close. The boys have well organized foot ball teams, the per cent of which in the season of ’14 was 500. The per cent of their basket ball was 330. While our boys have no track organizations, they showed remarkable skill on “Field Day.” From the impression they made on this day we hope they will do as well or better next year at the county and North Texas Trolley Athletic Association track meet. Besides the athletic organization the boys have a social organization, The Don’t Worry Club,” which, as a rule- on Friday nights after tests entertain their friends to rejoice or grieve as their lot happened to be. We had our first formal recognition by the Seniors of T4. in a new year’s reception. In turn we gave the Seniors of 14 an informal farewell party. When our turn came to be Seniors, to show our appreciation of the Junior class, we entertained them with a formal reception on New Year’s evening. As Juniors, we were invited last May to attend the Alumnea meeting. We hope to be received as members of this organization ere we sever our ties with this dear old E II S. All the teachers seem 1o be partial to our class, especially those that have been with us during the four years. Mr. Cogldan’s praises have always been inspiring. lie has claimed us as his .class-since we entered the seventh grade, and we are very glad to say he still claims us and has such confidence in us that he grants us privileges that no other class has been given.
