FRIVOLOUS A-B-C's A-Is for Annual in the past we had none, But through help of our Seniors the fun has begun. B-Is for 'Beauty, a contest held, Our Cogie, Kenzie were the ones who excelled. C-Is for Cornish, what does it mean? To go home for an excuse is not just a dream. D-Is for Demerits we all try to dodge, If you get too many the result is Hodge Podge. E-Is for Electricity which makes our clock stop, But when the bell rings We go on the hop. F-Is for Freshman, we all heave a sigh, For next year they will be Soph's high. G-Is for Grades, give us A'si if you please, For then we can enter college with ease. H-Is for Holiday which we all like to take, But when we get caught it's one grand mistake I-ls for IT that they're all talking about, It was in the bag but the cat let it out. J-Is for Jokes we tell on each other, Although in class it's , Ask me another. K-Is for Kids, there may be a hundred, Or was it the count before some of them blundered L-ls for Lakey, all hold your breath, If you make any noise the result will be death. M-ls the Moment your mind is blank, When questioned in class, Oh to just to turn a crank. IX--Is the Nuisance always on hand, VVhen you start to study he isn't so grand. O-ls for Office-we shiver and shake, When summoned for fear we made some bad mistake .E -Is the Practicing that the boys do every day, But when girls come around itls get out of my way. Q-Is for Quinn that we elected this year, Mary Ruth dressed as a peacock was surely a dear. R--Is for Robins that sing on Spring days, And are always tempting us to go out and play. S-ls for Songs which we 'holler and shout, I expect folks wonder what the noise is about. T-Is for Teams and Oh Boy how we play, just to find their equal you'd go a long way. V--Is for Vacation, Oh My, Oh Me! For only one breath of the mountain or sea. W-Is' for Wishing we ne'er had to stray, From our school grounds and farther away. Y--Is for Ysleta our rival of old, Since she beat us a game she's become very bold. U, X and Z are the other three letters, The rhyming of which we will leave to our betters. Y l PAGE TWENTY-TWO v

Since then one of our members has left school, leaving us nine members. ' The class was organized in October, and Miss Mavis Ann Smith was chosen as sponsor. Hubert Nunn was elected presidentg Willie Davis, vice president: Cora Beth Bickley, secretary: and Mary Ruth Davis, reporter. Climb, Though the Rocks Be Rugged was selected as the class motto, but Together We Stick, Divided We're Stuck was adopted later to express our sentiments more fully toward each other. The Junior Class colors are scarlet and gold. The class flower is the rose. At the beginning of our organization some pulled one Way and some another, so when the question of what should be our class emblem arose no one could decide so the matter was dropped. But this does not hold true of our class now. The Junior Class this year has won a name for itself not only as being one of the jolliest classes in the school, but also a class upon which one could surely depend to put over any entertainment or project. Our chief aim this year has been to secure affiliation in English Three. Whether or not we have achieved this will be determined next year, but we may say this, that even if we do fail, we have tried, and English Three is perhaps one of the rugged rocks mentioned in our motto. Our class is a distinguished class. Almost every member has accomplishi- ed some noteworthy thing which will be history in Fabens High School years from now. Hubert Nunn, our honored president, is captain of both the football and basketball teams. Sam Cresap is an athlete of great value to the school and participates in all sports. He attended both the district and state meets in Track. VVillie Davis is the school cartoonist. His decided talent in this line of Work has won him much praise. He is also a member of the foot- ball and basketball teams. Edmund O'Donnell is also a good athlete and plays both football and basketball. Frank Magee, the tallest boy in school, is a good center on the basketball team. Without his fine playing and great height the team would be far from what it is. Mary Ruth Davis, who represented Fabens High School in the Cotton Festival at Liberty Hall this year, was the yell leader of our pep squad. She represtented Fabens in the County Declam- ation Contest and won second place. Cora Beth Bickley was voted the prettiest girl in school. She is a member of both basketball and volley ball teams. H'elen Martin and Cuca Carbajal are important members of our class. They are both talented musicians and the junior Class never lacks a source of special music. The Junior Class of this year will be the Seniors of next year. We want to make next year a gala time for Fabens High. We have the material, the pep, and the determination: all we lack is time and object, but we will acquire these next year. So watch out for us Fabens High! PAGE TWENTY ONE
