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. ■ 4 11 ►■■ TOP UTPUtT THE HIGHLAN if : ' ■ i Mrs. V.

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 school, as well as its inmates, has profited because of their activity. and the The club meets the first Wednesday of each month to form and di: ensuing weeks. new plans for the i E .! seKJL2 ■- 1 A ■4 12 } -rf s - y p . ' , If WE THE HIGHLANDER. a . The man to whom Highland Park High School owes so much of its success in every activity is our superintendent, Mr. Gable. A truer friend and more loyal Highlander there never was. and to his ability and unceasing work to make Highland Park the best of schools we contribute the high respect and unbounded admiration that both teacher and pupil hold for him. 9. w E. S. LAWLER Capable, steadfast, earnest — thus may we characterize the man to whom we have come for everything from our IB enrollment days to our graduation night. His unfailing in- terest in everything we do, and his un- bounded patience have created a host of staunch friends from the IB to 4A classes. r . ! w C v I ■4 13 ■ !

We suspect them of being the best teachers in the world, but wc know they are the best friends. If at some time we think they have judged us harshly, or that they have done something not quite to our greatest comfort, we must remember that they are trying to give us something we may use throughout our lives, and not just until the final exam is over.

LAVLER Highland Park certainly has enough cause to mourn in the loss of our principal. Mr. Law- ler. When the news of his departure for Colum- bia University leaked out. a quite flattering cry of protest was raised, for Mr. Lawler has not only contributed so much to the success of the school that he seems almost indispensable, but he has also made himself so well liked that we surely hate to lose him. But while we hate to think of Mr. Law- ler ' s departure, we want to welcome Mr. Wise- man, his successor, to Highland Park and wish him much success here. Three of our most popular teachers left at mid-term, leaving behind them places in the esteem of the students hard to fill. Mrs. Guthrie, our impartial and beloved gym teacher, Miss Ragland. our delightful English teacher, and Mr. Storey, our buoyant and good-natured French teacher, are among the missing. The loss of these tc leave at the end of the y we felt that this was too much as well as Mr. Betts. hers is enough, but when Mr. Betts announced that he intended to r to take up the position of principal at the Palestine high school, line for congratulations We certainly think that Palestine is It is with the profoundest regret that we bid each one of these teachers goodbye.

She surely is a lovely girl. William Davis Bill ' s preoccupied frown has fooled more than one person at first, but ' they soon got used to it and learned that there was.no one more likeable than Bill. Another thing, we ' d sure hate to have to count the number of girls who have had crushes on Bill. She has a good time everywhere she goes and lets people know it. This trait of hers makes her welcome wherever there is a crowd. Maybert has contributed much to the choral club, and is always on hand at the football games. Just listen. Virginia Townsend What would the Library be with- out Virginia? She ' s one of the most valuable girls in the school, because she ' s always ready to help and because she has .such a grand disposition. She has some of the prettiest brown eyes we ever saw and one of the most pleas- ing smiles. ■ , ' V 7 41 54 . fj V Jl -1 P THEHIGHLANDERJ w f I f stags ' it v! J Robert Gilbert Well, what can be said about Bob that hasn ' t already been said? We ' ve cheered Bob through four years of high school and it is with the profoundest respect that we watch him graduate as little conceited as when he came. Geneva Harston; She ' s the greeneyed. black-haired vamp, more commonly known as Ella Cinders. She is almost enough to make us decide that Gentlemen should not prefer blondes. The only girl in school who can do anything in the world and get away with it. ' David Godwin Another good dancer and a deservedly popular boy. He knows what he know when he knows i t — t h e only trouble being he ' s usually right — Nuff said. HELON Hamlett She came to us from Fort Worth and if everyone in the Fort is like Helon. it surely must be a keen, place — con- frarv to the many jokes we ' ve heard about our neighbor.- .„ Elizabeth Hill If. we had a best all-round girl con- test we ' d all vote for Lizzie. Don ' t ever forget the History of Science. Lizzie, and please, don ' t forget us here in Hi Park when you go. % ' V- . ... 5 W s t 0jj0 ' ? ' . A ; v J ' 1 P I ■ ' K mx THE HIGHLANDER. - Martha Hudson She is an old member of the class and a valued one. Since she ' s taking a P. G. we won ' t lose her for a while. Mary Alice Jones The blonde beauty who came to Hi Park from Tem- ple and made herself as well- known as Venus — and for the same reason. High Park ' s gift to the Zetas. Elizabeth Knox The salutatorian o f the class. Her piano playing has made many people gasp. How can you do it? She surely has been a valued stu- dent of the alma mater and one we hate to lose. Joe Lackey The big blonde brute with the dimple in his chin. He ' s one of our Athletic stars and one wc appreciate. Keep the change. Berrien Lindsley Like all the Lindslcvs his eyelashes turn every girl in the school green with envy. Did you ever sec Buddy not bored. ' However - THE HIGHLANDER. Porter Lindsley Porter tried to be indiffer- ent but a certain little black- eyed girl succeeded in changing his views quite radically. We surely do like Porter Lindsley. Bereniece Machen She has a grand disposi- tion and managed to keep it all through t h e basketball season. She surely is a fine girl and one we all appreciate. Pat Mason Another Blase Member who ' s well known in High Park and who manages to maintain his dignity, which is quite a feat, we think. Alfred Pendleton He has the curliest auburn hair in school, which is certainly an asset. He is another valuable member of the class and the Annual Staff and as someone just said, He ' s smart as the mischief! ' ' Alice Puckett Her friendly disposition and wel- come smile have made for her a host of friends. She certainly has pretty clothes, and by the way. she ' s another consistent winner of the Linz Award. V- f ? ;rJlj J - ' -f -4 37 THE HIGHLANDER . !

He also belongs to the first period Trig, class. Who rates that doesn ' t? NORMAH ALCOTT The biggest vamp of them all. Normah is the most per- fectly groomed girl we know. She walks like the swanky society ladies in the adver- tisements, and more than one girl has tried to copy it. If you want any ideas, just go to Normah, spelled with an h. Hazel Anderson The ideal sophisticate — we take our hats off to her for being the only girl in Hi Park to attain this title and keep it. She wears the most gorgeous clothes we ' ve ever seen, an ' say — did you ever see her without a marcel? Thomas Beckett The best fancy diver in the school and that ' s not all fancy about him. His socks, f ' instance. Thomas is an- other person we ' ve known always. He belongs to the advanced Chemistry Class — Which is rating. Virginia Bernet She certainly c an drive a car. As for being a good sport we ' ve never seen one better. She has lovely eyes and oh. well, anybody who can rate a steady in both the North and South is quite the stuff, we think. Zfrj£ ?M. ; ' . ;• y - - v i-w m cp r . Ili Weldon Berry He ' s really not as stern as he looks in the picture — in fact he is more than inclined the other way. He has a weakness for suspenders and chewing gum. He has been one of the main-stays of the Dramatic Club. Georganna Bowers Well, anybody that would buy a lamp-pull thinking it was a necklace — Anyway, Georganna, we think you ' re awful pretty and deservedly popular and that you have eyes that match your person- ality, which is too likeable for words. Marjorie Boyle Come on folks, nine for Marjie, louder and funnier. There ' s a reason for Grape Nuts and all this cheering — Marjcie is about the cutest girl we know and with about the best line. Who under the shining sun could walk like Marjorie? Ed Connor Bettye Jeane Crocker Can you tell us anything Ed can ' t do? No? We knew you couldn ' t. He ' s cheer leader, too, and does more work at the games than anybody. He ' s little, but oh! he ' s powerful. She is already well known as a poet, not only here in Hi Park, but outside as well. We ' ve never seen anybody who can deliver such impressive rebut- tals in debate or who can sling the English language with such effective- ness. ' .- THE HIGHLANDER re . .. ... - • •A Catherine Culbertson Can she act? For proof we refer you to The Giant Stair. ' ' She is a charming speaker and a charming girl, and we think that is nuff said for anbody. Silas Deane We just can ' t believe that marcel is natural. A very witty boy who is a valued member of the basketball Pauline Deane She ' s one true sophisti- cate. You haven ' t seen nuth- in ' until you ' ve seen her in red. real red. Don ' t you wish you had her hair? Arthur Emery Bud is a keen kid and he has been one of the mainstays in both tennis and basketball for some time. He steadies a girl somewhere in Oak Lawn which accounts for the blue ring. We wish some kind person would draw his interest nearer home, Dern! Lura Everett She ' s been here only a year but we surely wish she ' d come sooner. Don ' t you envy her her big brown eyes? w B SX; ' . THEmGHIANDER -v. £ ™ HARRISS E.ARLE Mary Ann Halsell Whit Hanger vi A leading exponent of African Golf. He can skip more classes without being kicked out than anyone in -school. She ' s been here just a year but oh, boy. what an impres- sion she ' s made. She has a propensity for flirting and cute clothes. One of the pre- ferred gentry. Whit is the best dancer in the class which is not the only reason he ' s popular. He has a weakness for good looking girls and cars. Ben Hardy James Hawkins Well, 100%. us Physics class never did catch the point of that 2x4 story you pulled in class. We think elec- tricity had something to do with it, tho ' . But, no foolin ' , Ben is real entertainment and to his ad-getting ability a great deal of credit for this Annual goes. - He has an engaging smile and curly hair, only he will try to slick it down. He ' s quiet, but we ' ll sure miss him when he leaves. From what we hear lately, he ' s made quite an impression with a certain little lady of Hi Park. J fc Z £2± rt 43 ; THE HIGHLANDER -  Bill Hinsch Dorothy Huff His looming stature is a If brains were directly pro- familiar and welcome sight portional with size. Dot to us. He likes a good joke would be hard up — but — and somebody at N. D. Hi Dot won $5 once for work- Park won ' t be the same with ing a geometry problem and Bill gone. deserves a salary for helping more than a few pupils. When speaking of Dorothy, darling and naive are the ( : Kr ' ' rti words. Dorothy Johnston She ' s a typical blonde if there ever was one. She ' s as dainty as she can be and a charming companion. In- cidentally she surely wears her clothes well. - Elizabeth Jordon She can draw, act, play basketball, and do almost anything else you can think of. She has the prettiest lips in seven states. Dorothy Klumpp Dorothy surely is a keen sport and a good volley ball player. She ought to be. because she ' s captain of the team. She belongs to the after school typing class, and helped us write a poem which we felt was grand except for a few extra feet that would pop up at the end of every line. 4 44 ] TOE HIGHLY Omega lackey Does Omega enjoy football games? And especially the trip to Farmersville. Al- though the lights burned out coming home, we hear she arrived safe and sound some- time in the early hours of the morning after. A charming girl and one we hate to see leave. Dorothy Lee Dorothy has acted as our fashion forecast as long as she has been in high school, besides being a grand hostess and more than a good friend. Who has not spent at least one Sunday afternoon at her house? Cleo McFarland Every morning in Trig class we hear about the night before. She goes out with a different boy every time. We often wonder how Cleo would look without her hair waved and also if she would then live up to her name — Cleopatra — as successfully as she does now. Jane McNulty Bernice Martin Jane is a person who is going to attract attention anywhere, especially from the opposite sex. She is a gor- geous dancer and we expect her to be- long to a We Knew Her When Club before long. Another charming girl who ' s been with us only a year. We like her smile, and although she ' s very quiet, she gives us plenty of chances to see it. 45 Jkfekl ft Bruce Martin Barbara Maxson Alice Monaghen Grab your hats, people. here comes Bruce! We sure wish we got as much kick out of life as she does, which accounts for her proudest possession, her dimple. She can work up more breath- taking pep in a shorter time than anyone we know. She is our cheer leader and cap- tain of the girls basketball team. They don ' t make them She ' any daintier or more graceful with than Barbara. These and strong many other pleasing charac- right teristics are reasons enough classes, why she steadied a certain guy from Arkansas. We withoi all the n from wouldn ' her ir Charlie Morris If you want to hear the latest gos- sip, just ask Charlie. He knows every- thing that happens before it has been planned. Rather clever, eh, what? Evervone likes Charlie. Walter Moore Yep, he ' s the bird that furnishes the 1st period Trig Class with part of their breakfast — e. g. — mints. He is another Original Member and officiates and has officiated since 1924 at the bugle. If you don ' t know Walter, you never went to High Park. : Alice Neil Well, to say that Alice is unique is not enough. She ' s got the cutest voice and line we ' ve heard in a long time, but what we want to know is, where did she get that gorgeous complexion? Katharine Nichols [ ' Hi Have you ever seen her not smiling or without any- thing to say? knew you hadn ' t, personality will liked everywhere. No ? We Her jolly make her Elizabeth Norvelle Elizabeth has honored us with her presence for only a year. We wish it had been longer, so that we might have known her better. We liked that year ' s acquaintance well enough to want a much longer one. : Virgil Payne Another valuable member of the senior class. Virgil has taken part in every activity the senior class has attempted, and is one member we ap- preciate. He has a weakness for a good joke, even telling one on him- self, than which we can pay no greater compliment. ' ' ' Eva Perkins Eva has blonde hair, blue eyes, and i engaging personality. Who can beat that combination she wouldn ' t lea been here a year Eva ! We sure wish us, since she ' s only Good luck. Little v 4_ t t J Lorraine Pickens Mary Powell Lorraine makes of her eyes a regular social accomplish- ment. She likes short bobs and a good argument and certainly good company. You can argue with her until you ' re blue in the face, present the most conclusive proof of which you are able, and then she ' ll say there ' s a trick somewhere. She ' s stub- born, clever, smart and en- tertaining. We surely do envy her her blue eyes. They call him Snarly Joe, and if you ' ve ever seen him play football you ' ll know why. The only ob- jection us girls have to him is the fact that he is too in- different, worse luck! Eugenia Reedy She has eyes that slant upward, which has made many girls want to try the old adhesive tape. She has a lot of energy and is a valued member of the Girl Reserves. Morris Richardson The champe ' en tennis player of them all. He is real entertainment when you get him started, and he can jing, too. We like his taste in nearly everything, including girls. 4 48 ) THE HIGHLANDER Madeline is about the clev- erest girl in our class and she can write the cutest notes. Her proudest possessions are her cats, Mehitabel and Me- phibashith. and the accom- plishment of which she is proudest is an ad that wasn ' t given last year. Incidentally she has the distinction of having more crazy things happen to her than to any other member of the class, and if you are tactful, you ' ll not mention street cars in her presence. Donald Rupard He has been the head of or has had something to do with about everything the class has done since the freshman year. He has a weakness for wise cracks, drums, and a certain member (ess) of the 2A class. Bernard Sampson He has a passion for any- thing and everything freaky, and is always organizing something. He appreciates a good joke and takes a part in every activity. Also, he ' s an army man. David Schopield He ' s quiet but stern until you know him but then the fun begins. Wed say he ' s bashful, only he preciate it, so we ' ll say terested, dern it! ouldn ' t ap- he ' s not in- Mary Elizabeth Schofield She ' s about the daintiest girl in school and she has about the biggest eyes. She ' s popular, too, but you haven ' t seen nothing until you ' ve seen her grades. In fact, she is a very ex- ceptional girl. ' .• ' ■-: ■■ %r £ t fi w -vy- ' - --.: 49 Elgin Shell Gee Whiz! How can she debate and come home with a 9 7 average report card at the same time? On top of all that, Elgin is as pretty as she can be and is the kind that has poetry written about her smile and her eyes — Lucky girl! ALVIS Sincler Alvis is our handsome hero of the senior play. He ' s been here only a year but he has taken active part in all the senior activities. What else need we say? Frances Smith v Our small but important editoress. A very familiar person around Hi Park. She deserves everybody ' s vote of thanks for her untiring work on the annual. Also Charles D. Mitchell ' s evident successor. ' V ' - ' - v ' She ' s made good grades more consistently than any other member of the senior :lass. Always ready to ac- commodate everyone. LOU SMITH Yoo Hoo, Buggah ! The fact that she is universally popular is evidence enough that she is likeable, witty, and as full of the old scratch as any one girl can be — and get away with it. What would Hi Park be without hei and her fur coat? , 50 - ■ v| f y m 51 THE HIGHLANDER. . - Frances Vaughan Although she ' s raved at us in Spanish quite a few times we ' ve forgiven her the names she ' s possibly called us. But seriously, Frances surely is a dependable girl and one every- body likes. How she can talk Spanish! Louise Walker Don ' t you wish you had her dreamy eyes and that ' s not all! Louise is another girl who has been with us since grammar school, and the fact that we drag out our nicest adjectives ior her is enough said. Houston Wasson The Master Mind him- self, and one-half of the boy ' s debating team of which we are justly proud. He is such a good sport and such a good athlete that he has won the respect of everybody. Wish we could pass any sub- ject with as little apparent effort. Alice Louise Weeks A more energetic girl there never was. Largely to her lovely voice and vivid personality the operetta owes its success. She is another girl we expect to see go far. Won ' t it be lovely to say casually Oh, yes, I knew her quite well at high school? Howard West If anybody had ever seen Howard ' s hair out of place or his handkerchief at the wrong angle, we would have declared a holiday. Anyway, he surely is an entertaining person and one we all know. He is a prominent member of the Dramatic Club and his weak- nesses are cars and girls, good looking ones. ■ m THE HIGHLANDER JUANITA WHITIS She ' s just been here a year, and we haven ' t learned much about her. She ' s quiet and has lovely limpid brown eyes. We surely wish she ' d come sooner. LYDIA WlNDT The most conscientious girl in school. Everything she does, she does well. She had the lead in the Spanish play and although we didn ' t know what she said it was largely because of her that we en- joyed the play so much. We expect a lot of her. especially as a pianist. Jack Woodhall If you want to know ' hat ails the family lemon sine just go to Jack. He ' ll tell you. Why he is so girl -shy we can ' t see, since he ' s got such curly hair. Marjorie Young Bob Dickenson Marjorie, you just can ' t keep from flirting, no matter how much you try. Your ability as an actress has charmed us as many times as your high grades have astonished us. Incidentally, we think she knows a keen boy friend when she sees one. The president of the senior class and were sure glad to have somebody so capable. A grand disposition, a good athlete, a grand debater, and the re- semblance of a Greek god. Say, Bob, how many cs do you have in your name, anyway? ' - ■ngf 53 } ■■ . ■ THE HIGHLANDER. - Martha Stark She writes the cleverest stories, sings the cutest songs, acts, plays the ukelele and dances better than any girl we know and then we ' re not half through. She was chief typist of the Annual staff, and a very exceptional girl, if you haven ' t already guessed it. Weldon Berry Well. Weldon. you are do- ing well to rate two pictures in the senior section of the annual, even if it was a mis- take on the part of the edi- tor. Do you. by any chance, happen to lead a double life? f ' ' ■ - Marcelle Crawford He can do almost any- thing and get away with it. He ' s the most exasperating, entertaining, and irresistible boy in school and that ' s say- ing a lot. He was one of the mainstays of the Annual staff, and the least we- can say is that he never, never, bored us. ■ - -JCWiy , ' ' ■ ■ ' ' ■ 4 54 THE HIGHLANDER. jL __ , . — y 4 M Underclassmen V .

TTCHIGHIANDE DICKENSON DEBATE The Dallas County Championship, the district championship and second place in the state contest is the record of Bettye Jean Crocker and Elgin Shell, the Highland Park Girls Debating Team of 1928. The Boys Debate Team. Houston Wasson and Robert Dickenson has also brought honor to our school by winning second place in the district meet at Denton as well as defeating three other teams in the county contest. This team defeated Oak Cliff High School of Dallas and the Masonic Home Debaters, who had never be.en defeated by Highland Park High School, and went to the finals where they were defeated by Polytechnic High School of Fort Worth. In the state contest at Austin, our girls team competed with twenty-six other teams for state championship. They were victorious in the first four debates, defeating Houston in the preliminaries and Main Avenue High School and San Antonio in the semi-finals by a 5-0 decision. In the final debate Highland Park lost to Temple by a 3-2 decision. As a result of the victory in the district meet the coveted prize, the Titche-Goettinger silver loving cup became the permanent possession of Highland Park School, having been won by our school three successive seasons. The first winning team was composed of Mabel Spellman and Katherine Ford, and last year and this year Bettye Jean Crocker and Elgin Shell were the victors. Because of their excellency in debate, Bettye Jean Crocker and Elgin Shell will receive a scholarship for four years from Texas State University. w x: (fin W w r If M w k 5fe Miss Ruth Cottingham, debat land Park ' s debate teams. ch. deserves much credit for the splendid success of High- 4 6 6 f - THE HIGHLANDER . m ' 4 ft - : I { :-. taTS sn i . m DECLAMATION In the Interscholastic League Declamation Contest Ronald Marks won first place, Bernard Sampson second and Alvis Sincler third in the Senior Boys Division.

A charm- ing operetta, Once in a Blue Moon was chosen, and able singers were chosen for the cast. The success of the operetta was due to the able direction of Miss Josephine Sclccman, to Alice Louise Weeks and Herman Cecil, the leads, to a splendid supporting cast, and to the boy volunteers. As they have always done, the Choral Club is to furnish music for Baccalaureate Services.

For her poem, Bettye wes presented with a large cup at Belton, Texas, and will be presented with a sweater. Highland Park is justly proud of Bettye ' s achievement and it is with great pride that we present her poem TWO CHINESE BRACELETS Mutely disdainfu l, boxed in Chinese pewter, Quiet they lie, on ancient gold brocade Scorning the present, longing for yesteryear. Re-living days beneath a cypress shade. No mist of years can cloud that rim of silver, Nor dull the sheen of burnished sandalwood, Whose heady perfume sets a man a-dreaming Of lands where willow trees have ever stood. A maiden ' s hand, with all its tender fragrance, Has oft caressed these treasures through the years, To bless the charm of love inlaid upon them In tiny pearls, like Chinese fairy tears. Let no rude hand disturb their meditation, Let them dream of days when they were laid Within their box of heavy Chinese pewter, Upon their couch of costly old brocade. B. J. C. The Latin Tournament One of the most important literary events of the school year comes in the Spring, when the schools of Texas assemble at different centers to compete in the Latin Tournament. This year, Miss Bradfield took a large Highland Park delegation to Commerce to compete with the other schools in our district. The teams from Highland Park won more this year than they have ever done before, and the school is justly proud of them. Madeline Roach, of the senior Latin class, won first place in the fourth year essay contest with her essay, Aeneas. For this, she received a gold pin with the words, Summa Cum Laude on it. This is the first time a Highland Park representative has ever placed first in a Latin Tournament, so we join with the pin in saying that such an achievement is deserving of highest praise. William Yates and Holloway Perkins, representing the third year class, won third place as a team in the examination contest. Bettye Jeane Crocker of the same class, placed third in the third year essay contest, with her contribution, The Unrecorded Oration. l M -4 77 )a - k w i SV ' r, j m M w m i , -= }% THE HIGHLANDER. Adrian Rose and Frank Ryburn. won third place as a team in the examination contest for second year pupils. Adrian Rose, likewise, won third place as an individual in this contest. Next year the Latin Tournament for our district will be held at Highland Park and we hope our teams will repeat and increase their successes. It is not an easy thing to compete in the Latin Tournament and less easy to win. so the greatest praise is to be bestowed upon all those from the Latin Department who entered. Our capable and versatile business manager, Madeline Roach also writes poetry, of which ye editor basely stole and which she presents below : lple Pedestal The Pedestal I made with every care And fashioned in the loveliest form I knew, Stands quite alone in its secluded nook, And resting leaves the lonely place bestrew. Perhaps a cynic breeze blew scoffing by (It must have been a dizzy height to fall!) Perhaps someone in passing jostled it Why did I make the graceful thing so tall? I look up at the shining, empty throne. With bitter hate leave it to ages rust But oh. my heart is lead when I behold My broken idol lying in the dust. - 4 Vry THE LADY AND THE TIGER A REALISTIC SATIRE - Once upon a time (I have found that all good stories must start this way or they are a complete failure) , once upon a time there lived a very beautiful princess, who, as one of the preferred gentry, had very blue eyes to match her golden curls and a layout of clothes that would make Modish Mitzi blush with shame. I suppose you ' ve already guessed that there is a man in this story who was desperately in love with the princess — there is and he was. At least, maybe he was — to state positively that he loved her would be making a romance out of this tale — and it is the realistic that 1 am trying to adhere so closely to now — for this is a decidedly realistic story. Maybe he loved the princess — and maybe he didn ' t. Maybe at night when he returned to his cottage he dreamed of her golden hair and blue eyes and Venus-like figure, but on the other hand he may have pictured a throne, lots of power, and millions of little canvas sacks with an S and two parallel lines thereon — but at any rate he dreamed and after courting her for some time asked her to become his wife. She immediately accepted but being a very obedient daughter also referred him to Father. He timidly approached the king and asked for his daughter ' s hand in marriage. Now, I could make the king ' s eyes dimmed with tears as he murmured, Bless you, my boy, I am proud to have such a hard-working man for a son — it aids my democratic standards so much. But I must stick to realism. The king ' s eyes did not dim with tears — they blazed with anger and incredulity — he did not murmur a kind blessing, but screamed oaths at the top of his kingly lungs, and disregarding his democratic standards, promptly kicked the ambitious suitor down the royal steps where two waiting guards threw him into prison. This king had a very large arena that had a very definite purpose. It was the most useful way of ridding himself of those poor unfortunates who simply didn ' t rate. At one side of this arena were two doors, side by side, and very much alike. One of them led to a very beau- tiful girl who immediately married the victim, and the other to an equally beautiful tiger, who immediately ate the victim. It fell to this victim to choose a door, not knowing the contents of either — and in either way the king had his revenge. Both means were effective. One was per- haps a little quicker than the other, but either way the king was justified. In due time the lover of the princess was led to this arena and shown the doors, and told to choose between them. Now in the meantime the princess was not at the castle reading the latest novel to improve her mind, nor was she dressing for her next date — far from it — she was very, very busy finding just what was behind each of those doors — and why. She found out that the girl who occupied one of those small enclosures was none other than one of her old rivals — and while the picture of a tiger devouring her lover was strong in her mind, the picture as he came home tired from the day ' s work was equally as strong. The princess knew that her of him living happily in a rose-covered cottage and a beautiful wife to meet him every night 79 } fe % % lover would immediately look at her to find out which door he was to choose — and so she unhesitatingly put on her newest frock, powdered her nose, and departed in her Packard roadster for the arena. She knew the decision rested with her — if he lived or died — she must decide. In due time the boy was brought before the people and of course he immediately looked at his lady-love. She wore a puzzled look — as if she were trying to decide something very difficult. Then a look of determination came on her face. She raised her right hand with a quick motion. The boy smiled and bowing low went and opened the door on the right. Now — the princess could have been big hearted — she could have stood by and seen him marry the black haired beaut y and yawned lazily and murmured, Well, that ' s that, as she speeded away in the Packard straight eight. And then on the other hand, she could have said, Oh, well, she said something catty about my last evening dress, and if I can ' t have him why should she? Take your choice, fair and dear reader. If you are addicted to the romantic, let the boy marry the brunette and live happily for the first six weeks. If you are addicted to the realistic and like a good fight, bring on the tiger. But personally it doesn ' t matter — as I said before, both means are effective and the king had his revenge either way, so — oh, well — why not have the tiger kill him? A funeral is much cheaper than a trousseau, and anyway this is a realistic tale. Martha Stark. «sw a Ml W m Ki .

O. T. C. cadets during the month of June. The camp this summer will be eight years old. It started with an enrollment of eighty-five cadets, and has grown each year till last year the enrollment was over five hundred. The camp for the last three years has been located three miles northwest of Mineral Wells. Each year almost one half of the R. O. T. C. cadets of Highland Park attend Camp Dallas under the supervision of Capt. Ghiselin. Although the camp is for R. O. T. C. work many other things are taught that are necessary to build men. Adjoining the camp is the Mineral Wells Country Club. The club lake is used by all the boys for swimming. A boy never leaves camp without learning to swim. Probably the most popular place at Camp Dallas is the Y. M. C. A. Hut and Canteen . Here letters are written and received bv the cadets. Although there has never been a serious accident at the camp there is an infirmary there in charge of a doctor and two nurses. The main object of the camp is to teach the boy to depend on his own resources and show good sportsmanship at all times. 1st Lt. Robert Dunlap. ' 29. CAMP HIGHLAND During the spring months part of the corps goes on over night hikes to Camp Highland. This camp is situated on White Rock creek about four miles from school and is only for Highland Park boys. We leave school on Friday afternoon and hike to the creek, and as soon as we arrive we pitch camp. After camp is fixed up, supper is cooked: and after the meal, we sit around a fire and tell stories. We get up early Saturday morning, take a swim, and then eat. After breakfast we find entertainment around camp, and in the afternoon we break camp and go home. 2nd Lt. J.

This established the Highlanders as one of the most powerful teams of Dallas. Hudnall starred for Hi Park with his remarkable ability to catch passes. ■ ROSS OLDS HANCOCK Ben gets down and hits Jack was a product of In- I eroy, because of his deter- hard.

THE KAUFMAN GAME Kaufman journeyed to Dallas with high hopes of defeating the Highlanders, but the flashing end runs and dazzling air attack of the Highland Warriors could not be levied. The final score was 26-6 for Hi Park. THE COMMERCE GAME With its running attack weakened by injuries the Highlanders staged an invincible aerial attack to trounce the husky Commerce team 24-0. Dickenson and Gillespie accounted for many gains through the opponents ' line. THE COOPER GAME The Warriors of Highland Park continued their winning streak by decisively defeating the Cooper team 128-0. Dickenson showed great ability as a backfield man and raced across the opponents ' goal line for five touchdowns. THE GARLAND GAME One of the most exciting and hardest fought games of the season was witnessed at Ownby Oval when the Highlanders tangled with one of their bitterest rivals, Garland. The final score was 19-19. The game was hotly contested throughout. The Blue and Gold came from behind in the last few minutes of play to tic the score, when a pass, Gilbert to Scaff, was good for the extra point. THE WOLFE CITY GAME The Wolfe City lads journeyed to Dallas only to be sent back with 72-6 hanging over them. Highland Park played straight football. stinging defeat of THE FARMERSVILLE GAME The Highlanders journeyed to Farmersville minus their star quarterback, Gilbert. This game proved to be one of the hardest fought of the season. The game ended in a 0-0 tie. The Highlanders showed a powerful defense in stopping the husky Farmers. ' Maxson, playing his first game in Gilbert ' s position, displayed marked ability as a real punter. THE SECOND FARMERSVILLE GAME The Highland Gridstcrs playing without Gilbert: and Eberhardt despite injuries went down fighting before a thousand frantic supporters, on the North Dallas field. ' The final score beinj 18-0. The work of Captain Scoggin and Blaylock at ends was outstanding. ■■-■ - -h8{ 105)8- ..-■• ' ■ ...... ' -2 THE HIGHLANDER S BASKET-BALL At the sudden conclusion of the football season last Thanksgiving. Highland Park turned with expectant eyes toward the approaching basket-ball season, only to be met with gloomy prospects for a good team. When it was reported that of the thirty candidates for the team, there was not a single letter man back from 1927. there was indeed dismay among the sup- porters of the Blue and Gold. However, in the first game of the season, the green Hi Park team took on the big Mcsquitc boys, and blanked them 60-0. That started the school to wondering. When, a week later, the powerful McKinney Lions fell victims to the young but speedy Highlanders, by a 2-21 count, hopes really did pick up. Following decisive victories over Cement City, Grand Prairie, the Alumni. Forney and McKinney. the Highlanders met our strong county rivals, the Garland Owls, before a large crowd. The score was 26-17 in favor of Hi Park. After a disastrous journey to Canton, where the Blue and Gold received its initial set back, the Highlanders returned with a vengeance to crush Piano, Mesquite. Wills Point and Greenville in rapid succession. In the game with Farmersville. the Highlanders fought their hardest, determined to avenge the licking administered them in football by these same Farmers. As to how well they suc- ceeded, the score of 20-15 will assuredly testify. In an invasion of East Texas the next week, the Blue and Gold succumbed before the inspired attack of the Tyler Lions. Returning home Hi Park trounced Duncanville 68-14 to win the County Championship. ' RAY! ! ! On the week following the Highlanders encountered the Forest Lions, winner of the Dallas City Series. In two thrilling games the Lions nosed out the Highlanders by playing their best game of the season. On the day following the sec ond Forest game the Highlanders exhausted, fell before the strong Wills Point aggregation. 24-21. At the District Meet the next week Hi Park lost to North Side Hi. Ft. Worth, champions. Undaunted by defeat, the Highlanders displayed the old Hi Park spirit by decisively crush- ing the Commerce Teachers in two fast games, thus closing one of our most successful seasons.

The Highlanders were defeated by the strong, well balanced squads from Grand Prairie and Garland. The next two encounters were dual meets, in the first of which Terrill Prep downed the Dallas County winners 61-56. when some of the county stars failed to appear. A week later in defeating the Dallas Y. M. C. A. by a 39-5 count the Highlanders showed their best form of the season to win every first place. Only the running events were held. In the dis- trict meet, Braly. star dash man, was the only Highlander to place. Though the results were disappointing the season was not a failure, for many prospects were developed for next year. With a nearby track and seasoned men available, the 19 29 Track Team will, in all probability, more than make up for this year ' s showing. GUY SMITH DUB BRAWL Y RAYMOND CHAPPELL J. B.

But with Sears, Braly, Scaff and Pitts as a nucleus Coach Kidd built up a very strong club defeating such teams as Mesquite and the Commerce Teachers College. Coach Kidd proved an able asset and it was through his ability and perseverance that Highland Park was able to develop such a team. Hi P.

In the County Meet, Morris Richardson, who has represented our school for three years, won the championship in the Boys ' Singles for the last time, thus contributing ten points toward the cup. Strelza Miner won the Girls ' Singles, contributing ten points. Morris Richardson and Bud Emery won the Boys ' Doubles and Kathleen Murphy and Mimi Murphy won the Girls ' Doubles, each match contributing ten points toward the cup, and thereby winning all honors in the County Tennis. In the District Meet, held at Denton, Strelza Miner was defeated in the semi-finals for the Girls ' Singles, after a long and strenuous match. On that day, Strelza played eighty-four games. Kathleen Murphy and Mimi Murphy were defeated in the semi-finals for the Girls ' Doubles, and Dub Gable, in the Boys ' Singles, was defeated by Ft. Worth. After winning the first set from Oak Cliff. Morris Richardson and Bud Emery were defeated in the Boys ' Doubles. This year, while it is the last that Morris and Bud will play for us, revealed some promising players from the lower classes. It is with the greatest hopes that we look forward to winning the District Championship next year. . ■■: . ' ' ' .J ' a Ji— ri ' - - ■ ■:■: - { 1 1 ■ . : ' -i THE HIGHLANDER. SOPHIA FR Y When Miss Pry came to Highland Park, she found a hard task before her in filling the position left by Mrs. Guthrie. Although she is a strict teacher and one on whom we soon found we could put nothing over, she has become well liked by most of the girls. She has admirably filled Mr. Storey ' s place as director of the Choral Club, and Mrs. Guthrie ' s as girls ' athletic coach. We take this opportunity to tell her how much we appreciate her work in Hi Park. [ 4 1 1 1 1 THE HIGHLANDER GIRLS BASKET-BALL TEAM Although the girls changed coaches at the beginning of the year, they certainly showed their real spirit before the end of the season and played some unusual basket-ball. The attractive white coat sweaters which the girls received this year were a special feature of the season. The loss of Elizabeth Jordan. Mary Powell. Margaret Terry. Constance Burnham, Frances Kirk and Bruce Martin, will be pre-eminent, but nevertheless, we are expecting some good playing from the very capable girls who will be back next year.

THE HIGHLANDER A Review of the Basket-Bail Season — Game by Game 12-10-27 — Hi Park vs. Scruggs, 10-19 This was the first game of the season, and both teams showed early form. Martin and Burnhar starred as guards. 1-13-28 — Hi Park vs. Garland, 12-18 This game showed the Highlanders that they needed practice. The score is ' nuff. 1-20-28 — Hi Park vs. Telephone, 19-10 Powell, center, and Jordan, forward, featured the game. 2-18-28 — Hi Park vs. Butler, 25-11 Terry and Murphy were stars of this game. During the third quarter seven straight goals were made giving the Highlanders a good lead. 2-3-28 — Hi Park vs. Piano, 48-33 This was the hardest fought game of the season although the score doesn ' t show it. The entire team showed good form. 2-10-28 — Hi Park vs. Mesquite, 4-22 The out-of-town game didn ' t show up so well. Anyway, out-door courts are not good for knees that aren ' t used to them. TOTAL SCORE: HI PARK— 118; OPPONENTS— 1 1 3 Volley Ball This year ' s volley ball team has been the best team we ' ve ever had. The team has played more real volley ball and more interest has been taken in the game than ever before. The team consisted of Dorothy Klump, captain. Strelza Miner, Elizabeth Jordan, Constance Burn- ham. Lenoir Cartwright, and Marian Seaman. The substitutes were Bruce Martin, Margaret Watkins, and Mary Powell. The team defeated Garland for the county championship by a score of 2 1 to 3, 2 1 to 1 , thereby winning for the championship cup 15 points. This is the third year that the team has won the championship, and it is a team that deserves the highest praise for its success. .ills ; Stoehighiander ki4 ?l a ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The editors wish to thank all those who have helped in any way with making this annual a success.

One may be suspended for cutting, but is always given six periods. 2. Zane Grey will never rank with such writers as John Milton. V One should always look up unknown words in the dictionary as this impresses it on the memory. 4. Every five sheets of note-book paper costs one cent. 5. A boy who fails in high school is usually sure to fail in business and social life 6. Peanuts are very good to cat with vanilla cakes. 7. A milk chocolate may be carried past the corridor guard by squshing it between a book. 8. Every employer refers to your high school record when you apply for a position. 9. Boys who hang around drug stores arc a bad lot and generally smoke cigarettes, 10. Algebra is a very hard subject and in time will be given in the senior year instead of the freshman. 1 1 . There is something very funny about everything college boys say. 12. Chaucer is very hard. 1 3. There is something very funny about a pretzel. 14. Blondes are easier to fool than brun- ettes.

She says she got an awful laugh from Leonard when she asked him to copy off a radio recipe. He did his best but got two stations at once, one of which was broadcast- ing the morning exercises, and the other the recipe. This is what he took down: Hands on hips, place cup of flour on shoulder, raise knees and depress toes and mix thoroughly in one-half cupful of milk. Repeat six times. Inhale quickly one-half teaspoon of baking powder, lower the legs and mash two hard boiled eggs in a sieve, exhale, breathe naturally, and sift into a bowl. Lie flat on the back and roll in the white of an egg backward and forward until it comes to a boil. In ten minutes remove from the fire and rub smartly with a rough towel. Breathe naturally, dress in warm flannels and serve with fish soup. Bertie McConnell: It seems as if only an angel could walk back from an airplane ride. Melba Sikes: Only an angel would.

We wish to beg the pardon of those people whose names we have misspelled or failed to spell at all, than which there is no greater crime, or about whom remarks which did not please have been made in these pages. Dur- ing this year you have seen us rushing witlessly about; you have seen us tearing our hair; you have heard us bullying and nagging. Now we would like for you to know that in all our rushing, bullying, and seeming witlessness, we were merely doing our poor best to leave you a book that would be a lasting and enjoyable record of a year filled with pleasant memories.
