Ye gates of death, give way. My soul is full of whispered song: My blindness is my sight; The shadows that I feared so long Are full of life and light. The while my pulses fainter beat. My faith doth so abound; I feel grow firm beneath my feet The green immortal ground. That faith to me a courage gives Low as the grave to go; I know that my Redeemer lives; That I shall live I know. The palace walls I almost see, Where dwells my Lord and King. O grave, where is thy victory. ' ' O death, where is thy sting? • — Alice Cary. : S5 S= s =?

Bransford Back of all the successes that Highland Park experiences, back of every social and athletic event, there arc the zealous efforts of this group of men to aid us. It is partly because of their efficient work, tireless efforts, and faithfulness that the Highlanders wish to pay their tribute of appreciation to these men. but mostly because they are our own Board of Education, our very own helpers. It was under their and Mr. Gable ' s supervision that the handsome new wing was added to the Highland Park High School. This wing contains seven class-rooms, the superintendent ' s offices, and the domestic science laboratories and their new model apartment. iBr mm-« mi i.-  imt THE PARENT-TEACHERS ' ASSOCIATION Officers President Mrs. E.

It was to obtain this co-operation that the Parent- Teachers Association was first organized. Since their formation and through them as a medium, a better understanding has been brought about between the teachers and pupils. The work of the Association for this year has covered a multitude of subjects, and the school, as well as its inmates, has profited because of their activity. The club meets the first Wednesday of each month to form and discuss new plans for the ensuing weeks. MR. H. E. GABLE MR. E. S. LAWLER Mr. Gable Mr. Lawler The man who stands behind every school activity from foot-ball to debate, anxfous that we win to bring honor to Highland Park, but more anxious that we play the game in that straightforward spirit which he has so greatly fostered throughout the school. To receive his praise for some action is one of the highest honors for which we may strive. His is a difficult position. To fill it suc- cessfully, as he has done, one must combine the tact of a diplomat, a patience that none can shake, and that sort of an upright per- sonality that stamps one as a gentleman in the truest sense of the word. The Highland Park High School has been very lucky to have at its head a man of such fine qualities as has our principal. LAWLER STORY BRADFIELD ST.

Oi History of the Senior Class In order to give a complete history of the Senior Class of 1927. let ' s turn back the pages of time to the early days of the John S. Armstrong School, so that we may see the beginning of this most illustrious class, which is now about to fade out of the picture of this institution in order to take larger parts in the halls of learning in the higher institutions of education. In the year 1914 when the John S. Armstrong school was founded, three of the members of our class entered kindergarten. These three students have gone from kindergarten through high school together. This class differs from most senior classes in that it resembles one large family. From the first grade on our class has remained together, of course having new ones added to our roll-call, and some going astray, only to return again. Since we have the honor of instituting mid-term graduation at the Highland Park High School, perhaps we had better give an explanation of that fact. In the year 1918 the Board of Education saw fit to divide the classes, thus making the high and the low grades that we have today. Our class was the first to hold graduating exercises in the new High School building. This was in 1923 when we graduated from the seventh grade. We also had the privilege of having the first banquet there. In February. 1926. we found ourselves ready to uphold the title of dignified seniors. We hope that wc will make such marks that will reflect glory on the Highland Park High School. Merle Fagan. Sue Milburn Baldwin Spanish Club ' 27. Choral Club ' 27. Senior Play ' 27. Basket Ball Mgr.

Officers Cecil Edney President Frances Kirk Vice-President Robert Sanders Secretary -Treasurer THE HISTORY of the 1927 GRADUATING CLASS of HIGHLAND PARK HIGH SCHOOL On looking into the history of our class it will be found that most of us have come up from Armstrong. Six of us came all the way from the first grade of that school. Many of us watched this building being erected, and when it was opened, our class came in as the lowest — the seventh grade. This is our fifth year in this building. Some of our original number have dropped out or have gone to other schools. Others who have come from other schools have been added to our class. The history of our class is interwoven with the history of the school since it was founded. Of course, the school has grown, and our class has grown accordingly. In 19 23 there were only six teachers in school, with one hundred and twenty pupils. The first graduating class had thirty members. Our class, the largest in the history of the school, has eighty-four members. Now there arc twenty teachers in school, with five hundred pupils. These figures show the wonderful progress that has been made in the school. The same progress has been made by our class, because the progress of a class is wrapped up with that of the school. Our class has had its part in the school activities. We have had representatives in every line of endeavor. But we do not claim the credit of these achievements for ourselves. The credit is due to all the teachers who have added their interest and co- operation to everything we have done. The class appreciates especially the interest shown our class by Mr. Gable.

Yancy Fincher Sponsor BILLY FORBES The students of the Highland Park High School, appreciating the advantages to be derived from oral composition, public speaking, and complete self-expression in dramatic art, have had for five years an organization known as the Highland Park Dramatic Club with Mrs. J. Yancy Fincher as director. In addition to performing the class book assignments, the Public Speak- ing class has had thirty entries in speech contests with Ronald Marks winner of the Junior Boys ' division: Harriet Spellman, winner of the Senior Girls ' division; and ' William Shapard, winner of the Senior Boys ' division. MRS. J. YANCY FINCHER One-Act Play Contest In addition to the three-act plays given, a group of three one-act plays was presented February 26, 1927, at the High School Auditorium. They plays were A Minuet, by Louis Parker; Poor Aubrey, by George Kelley; and Mirage, by George Baird. Mirage was chosen to represent Highland Park in the district play contest held March 4, 1927, at McFarlin Audi- torium. The play won first honors over Dallas city schools and second place in the district. William Shapard was chosen all- star actor from 1 5 schools of North Texas district in the tournament. : VJJlHhnjVDE _. 2 ] 4 EFf y CAPTAIN APPLEJACK Personnel of the Club i..J Billy Forbes Jack CoUigan - Virgil Payne William Shapard I Adrian McKnight Dorothy Eldridge i Vernon Bennett Howard West - -j Ronald Marks Marcelle Crawford -JZX Pearl Hughs Mary Lee Lafferty it Susan Willis Marion Tucket Billy Bransford Mary Grace Mathi Emma Sue Miles Bcrnice Ballard George Ben John Henry Miles Robert Sanders Charlton F Merle Pagan Hazel Anderson Geneva Ha Robert Walker Marjorie Boyle Martha Sta Jack Shook Ethlyn Yarbrough Joe Tarver T.

Last semester the Choral Club presented a program at the mid-term commencement exercises. Due to the success of that program they have again been requested to sing for the June graduation exercises.

Under the efficient direction of Mr. Ralph Beck, the orchestra has made remarkable progress since last year. It has practiced diligently several times a week and has de- veloped into what might be called a sure-nuff orchestra. The orchestra has played over radio and has been very accommodating by playing for all of the school plays. It has also entertained us several times in assembly with novel programs. £ m RALPH BECK Ralph Beck, Director u G. O. Newman Piano Allen Duckworth Violin Roy Penner Violin W. A.

Early in the year, the girls dressed a doll messenger of friend- ship to send to Japan for the doll festival. Interesting pro- grams have been prepared for the meetings, the most inter- esting, perhaps, being a mock assembly which was quite amusing. Highland Park representatives have ushered at various conventions during the year, and have helped with the work at the Y, W. C, A. Several programs have been given by our club at the Y. W. C. A. club suppers. At regular intervals the Monday meeting would be held as a party, under the direction of the social chairman, Eugenia Reedy. Next year ' s president, Bruce Martin, has already assumed her duties and, with her enthusiasm and conscientious en- deavors for the club ' s welfare, a very active year is anticipated. r4— 1 I BETTYE JEANNE CROCKER Officers of the Girl Reserve Club Bettye Jeanne Crocker President Bruce Martin Vice-President Kathleen Murphy Secretary Clara Hunt Treasurer Catherine Culbertson Council Representative Personnel of the Club Mildred Blount Dorothy Johnston K.ithlccn Murphy Mjbcl Sanders Maud Burgoyne Pauline Johnston Mildred Murphy Dorothy Scoggins Lottie Marie Campbell Margaret Keogh Elizabeth Myatt Margaret Sheldon Elizabeth Connell Francis Kirk Mary Ann Powell Anne Gene Smith Bettye Jeanne Crocker Elizabeth Lynch Leila Rankin Janie Lucille Stallcu Catherine Culbertson Bruce Martin Eugenia Reedy Jeannic Stennis Miletus Dunagan May Graham Matthews Elizabeth Richardson Marie Tallcy Mildred Hudson Barbara Maxson Madeline Roach Tommie Lou T Dorothy Huff Catherine Morrison Anne Rucker Doris Jean Worley Clara Hunt Marjoric Young ■In v , rr n ir - 3. 27 M-J L DOROTHY RINEHART WILLIAM SHAPARD Dorothy Rinchart Editor-in-Chief Katherinc Ford Assistant Editor Merle Fagan ' .

At the first meeting Frances Kirk was elected presi- dent. Madeline Roach vice-president, and Willis Lea secretar ' and treasurer. The club meets every Tuesday afternoon to discuss any business that might arise, after which an inter- esting but instructive program is usually given. The pur- pose of the club is to encourage students in journalistic work. Experience in newspaper work is gained, since the school activities are written up by students in the club and published every Sunday in the Times-Herald. Each month school news is published in the Highland Park. The club usually gives a party some time during the year. Since Washington ' s Birthday was on Tuesday this year, it was decided to make this meeting a social meeting. Appro- priate games were played and delicious refreshments were served.

(?. ri CAPTAIN GHISELIN To Captain Ghiselin, our commandant, belongs much credit for the success of our R.O.T.C. Battalion during the last three years. When our morale slackens during hard preparation for competitions, it is Captain Ghiselin who carries us through and makes us win. It is he who helps us when we find ourselves in trouble. It is also he who deals out discipline fairly and without partiality. When someone is injured, it is Captain Ghiselin who gives hm first aid treatment. He has procured for the boys of the school an armory, which is enjoyed by all the cadets as a rendezvous. The cadets learn from him not only military training, but also lead- ership, initiative, honor, and loyalty. Captain Ghiselin is a friend to all and a companion to the cadets, always willing to help everyone. He has given a great deal of his time and energy to the Highland Park Hi-Y Club, which greatly appreciates his hard work for and with them. LT. WM. WlNSLOW. % ft Lfi OUR BATTALION Our R. O. T. C, Battalion is one of the most helpful organizations in our school. Whenever there is some duty to be done the cadets lend a most willing hand. This year our battalion has been administered by the cadet officers. Each officer has his duty and responsibility in running the military department. The Commandant advises and passes final approval on the recommendations of the cadet officers. Thus the student learns to make decisions and to do his own thinking, both of which tend to develop a keen initiative. We believe this phase of military training to be especially beneficial to the boy who aspires to an executive position in the business world. The officers of our battalion strive to create and maintain practical standards which have their counterpart in the every-day life of each cadet. Only those subjects form part of the military program that inculcate principles valuable to the student in the business life to follow. Some of the most important lessons of a man ' s lifetime are learned in high school. Teaching boys how to live among men is the purpose of the R. O. T. C.

To say that Coach Betts has made our teams successful would be in- sufficient. To say that he has created only athletics would be an injustice. But to say that his influence has instilled character, courage and sports- manship in the hearts of our boys will be paying him his due. aniLnNDEFis, PAUL MINER ETHLYN YARBROUGH OUR CHEER LEADERS Back of all the cheers and yelling that accompanied our various teams to the victories they invariably brought back to us were the hard work and efforts of those two who led us. Nothing can be done, it is said, unless there is co-operation. The Highlanders knew this, and consequently picked a boy and girl for our cheer leaders who, we knew, could get the desired results from the student body. This couple did not disappoint us. They plunged into their work with a bang. New cheers by the tens were loyally learned. We did our share, the student body, but here ' s to our able leaders, Paul (Bozo) Miner and Ethlyn Yarbrough!

In view of the lack of opposition, the game became an uninteresting melee by which Coach Betts ascertained the abilities of his squad. THE SUNSET GAME The game with Sunset created a great deal of enthusiasm, as is characteristic of any Highlander when given a chance to com- pete with a city school. Little Al and Gawge Eberhardt both played remarka- ble end-running games. Although greatly outweighed, the Highlanders were playing a green team, and Sunset saw the Buf- faloes ' nursing a 20 to defe at. THE DENTON GAME But alas and alackaday! The game with Denton, our bitter enemy, proved a bitter defeat. All through the first half both teams battled up and down the field with neither one scoring. The Highlanders re- turned to the game in the second half, apparently eager to win. But did not that Denton half received the kick-off and run through the entire Highlander team for a touchdown? He did. Which fact proves that a team must be awake 60 minutes of a game instead of 59. THE NORTH DALLAS GAME Playing under adverse weather conditions, our team missed its chance to overcome their rival school when late in the game a pass over our half was completed for a touchdown. Such a defeat was truly un- deserved, for let it be said that on three occasions the North Dallas backs were stopped dead when the Highlander line stiffened to defend the sacred traditions ' of their goal line. THE GARLAND GAME Even some of the team felt as though they had hit a losing streak when nearing the end of the game, they held the love end of a 6 to count. At this stage a des- perate but beautifully executed pass, Gil- bert to Eberhardt put the ball within scor- ing distance. Then it was that our good old Perry stepped up and bucked the line for a touchdown, thus saving his team- mates the disgrace of an early defeat. THE KEMP GAME Playing on home ground, the Highlanders roundly trimmed a team that on the pre- vious year had held them to a one-touch- down lead. It was in this game that Perry ran wild until he received his unfortu- nate injury. The game ended 31 to 0. THE SECOND GARLAND GAME Journeying to Garland, our lads distracted the threshing season long enough for the fond fathers to witness a 1 9 to 13 thresh- ing upon their husky sons. The game was bitterly contested throughout. THE KAUFMAN GAME A third successive victory marked the Highlander ' s 1 9 to triumph over Kauf- man. As usual, Al and Gawge vied for end-running honors, while Captain Piper mingled various useful line bucks. THE FARMERSVILLE GAME The first game with Farmersville in Dallas became a feverish spectacle to the High- lander supporters when they saw a Farm- ersville back smash the center of the High- lander line for a touchdown. Things looked bad for a time until Little Al evened the score with one of his famous runs executed after dropping through the Farmersville line. THE SECOND FARMERSVILLE GAME The play-off with Farmersville in Dallas was simply a case of too bad. A week of Coach Betts ' preparation found the Farm- ers easy prey. Although Gawge again starred, it was principally the working of a more unified machine that resulted in a 3 2 to victory. THE DECATUR GAME Although before the game the Decatur team was adjudged an easy winner, it evi- dently came to Dallas in good faith. Dur- ing the entire game a blue and gold ma- chine passed, bucked, ran, intercepted (or what have you) to a 25 to 7 finish. Al- though undefeated by a Class B team, the Highlanders decided to discontinue their training at this stage because of the late- ness of the season. r c,-- -iii- A ' A Message of Regards from the Highland Park Students Unfortunately, the splendid season of 1926 was marred by a serious accident to one of our beloved team mates. It is very regrettable that so splendid an athlete as Perry Ford should have been injured. We therefore dedicate this page to our dear friend and admired team mate. Perry Ford, who has proven himself such a hero in a time of misfortune. This season marked the second year that Perry had been out for the team, and he had become perfectly qualified for the position that he was to play. Perry alternated between half and end positions. On the wings he was noted as a dead sure tackle, while at the half position his line bucking was unequaled by that of any other member of the team. Perry played with us through the Garland game, giving a brilliant ac- count of himself in each game. To be exact, it was Perry ' s great line buck in the first game with Garland that saved his team mates from an early defeat. Then came the m emorable game with Kemp. Perry played in the back- field during the first quarter, and had been bucking through the line and breaking loose. During this time his constant smashes had accounted for two of the Highlanders ' touchdowns. It was during the second quarter, when Perry was carrying the ball, that the unfortunate accident occurred. After a beautiful off-tackle play. Perry was reversing the field when two opponents bore down upon him from opposite sides. And so he became to the team the inspiration that helped them to put over many a victory. His team mates entered every game thereafter with the determination that they would bring Perry news of a victory. Highland Park proved their regards for Perry in a splendid benefit en- tertainment presented by members of the high school and the two grade schools. The students of Highland Park take this opportunity of expressing their appreciation to their greatly admired school mate. Perry Ford. :??p Tiiii ' ' :Ms y : 100 basket all ii ' B 1 1 High Lights of the Basket Ball Season At the opening of the past basket ball season Coach Bctts sought to in- troduce a new system of games. He procured various powerful teams from different sections of Texas and Oklahoma in an effort to create a latent interest in the sport. Rather than engage in uninteresting games with easy teams, he displayed a wide number of fast and narrowly contested melees. Two of the fastest and most interesting games were perhaps those with Wilson. Oklahoma, and the Greenville High School. In both cases the games were tense, with interesting moments when first one team and then the other led in the scoring. They were both uphill games, with a driving finish that ended with a one-point victory as the gun shot. ' By£f ' LETTER MEN CARL PIPER Individual honors can easily be given to Captain Piper, a three-year basket ball man and one of Highland Park ' s foremost athletes. Piper alternated between center and guard. On the offense his terrific passing and perfect floor work were in- valuable, and his work under his oppo- nent ' s basket was phenomenal. ELKIN PARKER Parker is another rangy lad who likewise played both center and guard positions. His perfect defense, coupled with his ex- cellent goal shooting, influenced more than one game. The loss of this two-year man will create a missing gear in various Highlander machines. PAUL MINER Bozo was at all times an energetic and consistent forward. His splendid floor work was pleasing to watch, but his beau- tifully arched shots from all angles of the court were his greatest attributes. The ab- sence of this enthusiastic player will be keenly felt next year. HOWELL FOY Howell came to us shortly after the mid- term from Bryan High School. His nim- ble playing and previous experience lent more speed to the Highlander line-up. We are sorry to lose him and wish he had come to us sooner than he did. FRANK GRAY Frank became an able guard this year. He seems to have recovered from the harassing injury to his knee. He always played a live game and we will be glad to get him back next year. BOB GILBERT This is Bob ' s first year as a basket ball letter man. With the squad experience of previous years he competently filled either a forward or guard position . A hard working and likeable teammate. Highland Park expects great things from him next season. HARRIS JONES Jones always played a jump game and filled his guard position well. He was noted as an exceptional shot, and as a hard fighter. -xM.- The Permanent Service Award In continuance of a policy inaugurated three years ago by Coach Floyd Belts, Carl Piper, a prominent senior athlete, won the annual service award. This award made by Coach Betts, ! J personally, is a part of his plan to encourage athletics among the boys, as it is his desire t to express his regard for a worthy athlete who has devoted so many hours of his time in ) ( the interest of his school. I I I j The annual all around award is given to the athlete who has gained the greatest number j , of points during the past school year. { The senior service award is made to the senior who has accumulated the greatest number t ' of points during his four years in the school. j I The points are scored as follows: Football. Basketball and Baseball, each to count 5 j I points: Track and Tennis, the two minor sports, each to count 3 points: while a manager- I j ship or a captaincy in any sport counts an additional 1 point. ir-P ANNUAL AWARD 1923-24 — Jimmie Bigger 1924-25— Alfred Rose 1925-26 — Carl Piper 1926-27 — Carl Piper SENIOR AWARD 1923-24 — Jimmie Biggi 1924-25— Fred Kribs 1925-26 — Mac Taylor 1926-27 — Alfred Rose Boys ' Gym Class The Boys ' Gym Class, under the leadership of Mr. Betts, developed into a finely trained group this past y ear. At the Perry Ford benefit they reflected great credit on Mr. Betts by giving a wonderful exhibition of their agility in gymnastics. 104 ase ' all ,y HLn yp THE BASEBALL SEASON Coach Norman St. C ' .air has turned out a better team this year than ever before. The coach, aided by abundant new aspirants, and Knock and Red , has been able to work the team into such condition as to register successful victories over the strong Corsicana, Dallas Academy, and Lancaster Clubs. Waxahachie, however, dealt a defeat to us, but Hi Park played them closer than any other team to date, the scores being 6 and and 4 and 2. Judging by the increased interest in baseball on the parts of both players and other students, we feel safe in predicting a very successful season for the nine.

In an effort to stimulate a fading interest in this sport. Coach Betts worked the candidates out daily under his personal supervision. Prior to the county meet. Coach Betts held an individual and a class meet in order to create a friendly spirit of rivalry. At the county meet the Highlanders were successful in gaining a few points victory over their rivals. Garland, thus recovering their lost prestige. The junior track team must also be given its due share of credit. The points gained thus contributed greatly towards winning the all around cup.

BOYS ' TENNIS The 1927 tennis season extended throughout the entire year, beginning with the Fall Tournament and culminating in the District Tournament helcl in Denton in April. Paul Miner emerged victorious in the first contest and held that place all year, successfully defending his title in the School Meet. By far the best match seen on the school courts during the year was the finals match between Miner and Richardson in the School Tournament. The score of 7-9, 8-6. 6-4, indicated the heat of the battle. Miner winning the right to carry the Blue and Gold in the county meet, and later in the district meet. Miner and Richardson won the local title, played through the county meet, and went to Denton to the district meet. Tennis letters were awarded to both. Miner, in addition being presented a gold medal for winning the school championship. xAs cAthletics. iii -J:: .

GIRLS ' BASKET BALL The girls ' basket ball team passed through its most successful season, playing twelve games on its schedule, winning eight and losing fo ur. Three of these losses were vindicated later by victories over the same teams that had earlier defeated Highland Park. The school team, augmented by the addition of several outside players, entered the Southern A. A. U. tournament, and won the consolation cup, which has been placed in the trophy case. The loss of Anne Rucker. Marie Lackey and Frances Kirk will be felt, such sterling players could not leave any game without their absence being very conspicuous, but the reserve squad of 1927 showed a great deal of strength and ability, and the next team should be one of which the school will again be proud. Sweaters were presented to the letter-men by the School Board.

You will have to give up tennis. And all things of joy you must at once renounce. Yes. renounce all worldly folly. Give up all things gay and jolly. To write rebuttals endless all the day. Your grades, they jump down quickly. Your report-card looks quite sickly. And the world ' s end seems arrived to stay. If I ' m trying out debating in the morning. Will it then be such an awful task?

Is it worth a few bad heart-breaks? Now confess. And in spite of all our joking. All our silly gay fun-poking. The debaters, in a body, will shout Yes.

ELECTRICITY At the push of a button or turn of the tricity. developed by geniuses like Volta, In days gone by, human labor was re- quired to accomplish every task. It is only in very recent years that me- chanical aid has become available gener- ally. And within a few short years Elec- tricity stands as the most effective agent of service to mankind. In the power plant huge machines are pouring out this current which lights your homes, the streets through which you must go at night, and every place where you may seek recreation. If you should pause a moment, you will think of other things that Electricity does for you. IT makes your home attractive to the sight, and clean to live in. IT sews your clothes, and launders them thereafter. IT pumps water for you. and makes ice.
