Happy High School - Roundup Yearbook (Happy, TX)

Text from Pages 1 - 72 of the 1949 volume:

FOREWORD THAT LASTING SCHOOL SPIRIT “We’ll fight for dear ole H. H. S. Win or lose we are all for you....” The loyalty andfriendliness with which the students of Happy High regard their alma mater has become a lasting memory which will always live in their hearts. It is the desire of the annual staff that in years to come this record of books, sports, fun and laughter will bring to you the enchanting remembrance of that lasting school spirit. DEDICATION To one whose high ideals and staunch character serve as inspiration to all who know him, one who makes dreams become realities, and who through ceaseless efforts has caused the name of Happy High School to be esteemed, we respectfully dedicate this edition of the Round-Up to our coach. JAMES H. PETERSON This page sponsored by Happy Elevator Company. Each of us is endowed with abilities to reason and learn. These are gifts of our Creator, but is up to the individual to take advantage of these pre- cious gifts. Our community has provided the proper environment whereby our abilities might be developed to our own credit as well as to honor our parents. The Round-Up is a splendid example of trained and developed abilities. May it be a pleasure to each of us in the future to look at our annuals and be reminded of our accomplishments in 1948-49. Sincerely. di' ' A. Dooley Superintendent To the Students of Happy High School: We are now approaching the end of another school year. Let us stop long enough to evaluate our qualities and to criticize our shortcomings. Whether you are a senior who will become a part of our growing economic, social, and poli- tical order, or a student who will return to school another year, it is important to know one's self. Socrates once said, Most people dislike to think hard about anything— most of all to think hard about them- selves, because any sort of close self- examination is likely to show that they are leaving undone those things which they ought to do. Have we been co-operative, loyal in our school connections, sympathetic in our dealings with others, and honest in our convictions and principles? If not, let's weigh the evidence; that which is good, keep and improve; that which is bad, eliminate. ADMINISTRATION FACULTY A.DOOLEY Super inte nde nt History DAVID KEELE Vocational Agriculture MRS.

Lancaster fakes after hand- ing ball to Todd who goes through a huge hole opened by Bradley and Pearson as Wrenn blocks linebacker. Blocking in the line is the key- note here as the Cowboys have a hard practice.

The Cowboys entered three tournaments, one at Claude, one at Hale Center, and another at Tulia, but failed to place in any of them.
