They have been many things, but above all, they have been quite wonderful and mean more to eachof us than anyone can hope to put down in black and white. Our passing parade of memories contains both the pleas- ant and the tedious. Swirling through our minds are discon- nected thoughts caused by the e le c tr i c i t y in the air at pep rallies, the anxiety of selecting favorites, the di s gu sting prospect of homework over the weekend, and the interval of freedom with the two weeks Christmas vacation. The s w e e t odor of rolls drifting from the cafeteria, the stuffiness of a May afternoon class when the outside world is so inviting, the extra marching hours as band contest draws near, and the brief cloud of gloom whenwe've losta game--all these memories rush in witha swift tide of nostalgia because we know 1955 is past. There will never be anothe r year like itg it contains its own special memories. You, too, HHS student, will never be quite the same be- c aus e this year has enriched you. You are wiserg not only are you more well informed on biology, literature, and math, but also are you wiser in the ways of human relationships, of God, and in knowledge of yourself. Each month has brought you nearer to adulthood and has made you capable of accept- ing its responsibilities. So, take another glance at HHS in 1955. You could go on and on and list athousand intangibles in the school year. Still, you could not list them all. Remember these years. To others they are a phas e, a section of lifeg to us they are our happie st years, our high school days.

Even though T.M,I. s c or e d first, their lead was short-lived.. Monte Williams led the Owls over the Barry Field goal line for the first touchdown,and Johnnie Morin scored the other two. DEL RIO NIPS OWLS 14-13 ON HOME FIELD Because their groundwork was not so strong as their passing, the Owls gave up their first loss to a hard-fighting Del Rio eleven. Morin scored both of the T.D.'S and converted for one of the extra points. HONDO ROMPS OVER SABINAL Angermiller ran wild as he scored 4 out of the 5 touchdowns against Sabinal in a 34-7 victory at Hondo. The Owls, outstanding in their passing and running attack, suffered heavylosses from penalties. Monte Williams scored the other touchdown for Hondo. Converting for the extra pgints was Willie Alderete. HONDO FANS GET REVENGE PS THEY JOURNEY TO UVALDE For the first time since 1950 the Owls, playing one of their best games of the season, were victorious over Uvalde. Both the running game and the defensive play were outstanding. Morin scored three times and Williams once. The game ended Z5-14. DEVINE CLIPS OWLS, 8 - 0 When the Owls traveled to Devine, they ran up against one of the best teams in the territory. Against the Warhorses, the Owls just couldn't get going and piled up only 62 yards on the ground. The Owls were plagued by fumbles, two of which proved profitable for Devine. All told, the Owls fumbled nine times. OWLS FIGHT FLORESVILLE TO A DEADLOCK By a score of 20 - 20, the Owls tied their first game of the season at Barry Field. The Owls led 20 - 0 in the first half, but the Tigers came back in the second half to tie up the game. Monte Williams streaked 80 yards for one of the Owls' touchdownsg Morin also tallied as did Angermiller. OWLS DUMP CRYSTAL CITY THERE Starting their district play with an impressive 41 - 18 win over the Javelinas, Hondo gave a hint of what was to follow. Leading the scoring attack was Monte Williams with three touchdowns. Ange rmille r scored twice, and Johnnie Morin s c o re d once in the Owls' first district game. OWLS ROLL OVER COTULLA 44 - 12 The Hondo Eleven c ontinued its march to victory as it won over Cotulla at B ar r y Field. Starring in the scoring attack was Monte Williams with four T, D. 's.

A couple of 150 pound juniors, Jerry Muennink and Pete Anger- miller, were named Owl co-captains. Monte Williams and Richard Schulte were co-captains of the 1954 team that won Class A regional honors. On the program for entertainment were s ong s by Pat and Jean Tate, accompanied by Barbara Braden and Gayle Knight, accompanied by Mon- ette Schweers. Coaches Max C a rv e r and Murry Ho ldit c h reviewed the season and presented the all-district team members. H.R, Burch served as ma s t e r of ceremonies. A dance, with music by Jimmy Klein's orchestra, followed. Fall is the climax of the year. A tangy c r is pne s s in the air replaces our summer drowsiness with alert vitality. The week days are full of the back-to-school feeling that is all tied up with plaid dresses, school satchels, and apples for the teacher. Getting back in the familiar classroom routine is pleasantly com- fortable for some r ea s on. Fridays are re- served for football games with all their hulla- baloo and spicy excitement, while weekends are one lazy haze with the autumn hill side s turning scarlet and gold and flame before our very eyes. The velvet blackness with its red- gold moon comes more quickly now, and our sweater feels cozy on nippy mornings . There's the hilarious gaiety of the freshmen's uneasi- ness, a school spirit une qualed, a secure, glowing atmosphere like relaxing in the warm sun. From where does all this magic come? We're just guessing, but we think Jack Frost brings it down from the north country. X QXXXW-,gf rf QQO Il, 1 envy! U Ov? TER 'iff f M f i W ' l J A MVp9Qp w f Q if? ue ' wb Q STANDING ABOVE I'.

Be hind the eight oak trees spaced on the front lawn, you'll see the rambling Austin stone and white brick building that encompasses 36, 000 square feet of space solely for the purpose of edu- cating Hondo teen-agers. Included are a labg a cafeteriag ll classroomsg a homes making department consisting of five kitchens bedroom, bath, living roomand work roomg three officesg a libraryg 210 lockersg and various smaller rooms known as the c onfe r e nc e room, annual room mimeograph room, and dressing rooms. There is a com bination gym-auditorium which can play host to l 250 people., The band building with cedar lined closets for uniforms, and the agriculture building with an open air shop are to the southeast. To the north a base ball park seating 450 is equipped with lights for night games. Across the street is Barry Field which seats 2, 750 and b oa st s a recently en larged press box. Four women make up the cafeteria crew, while six maintenance men keep H.H.S. l ooking sharp. Six school buses are on hand to carry 47 of the 185 students to and from school. One thous- and textbooks are used, and faculty mem- bers experience at H.H.S, ranges from one year to 19 years. It's the right size school for atown of 4, 220 It's our school.

They had a very im- pressive record, winning Z0 games and losing only 7, for a percentage of . 741. baseball Angermiller - Alderete Muennink Hartman The first dance to be staged on the tennis courts was held Saturday, May 21, when the junior class feted the graduates. Cake, punch, mints, and nuts were served to the merrymakers. Music was supplied by a jukebox. It was a novel atmosphere for a party--just so much velvet sky and tiny, pinpointed s ta r s overhead with colorful summer gaiety down on earth. l fy, jf. - Sf.

That night the group stayed at Carlsbad before tour- ing the Caverns the next day. A special thrill was felt when they passed through Hondo, New Mexico, on the way to Ruidoso, their destination. There everyone spent his time as he wished en- joying the many attractions. Thursday morning they unwillingly re packed the bus with the addition of countless gallons of cherrycider and dozens of Spudnuts and headed for Alpine to spend the night and tour Sul Ross. Happy to be back but reluctant to say goodbye, they arrived home late Friday afternoon. 3 5 . HONQ Nw MXEXICOVW 'hd .

Ibelieve that the Class of '55 is entitled to a fair share of such a satisfaction. You have been outstanding in your accomplishments, and I wish for each member of the class continued success and happiness. J G Barry Superintendent 'Khan i principaI's message To the Students and Faculty: If an evaluation should be taken before closing the school year 1954- 55, we would find that the fine school spirit, the determination to win, the willingness to cooperate, and the desire for sound education by a large majority of our students are contributing factors to this year's success In a traditional manner the senior class has been outstanding. The members have been leading and pushing all the way. May I express my appreciation to the members of the faculty for their cooperation and my compliments to them for a fine job of teaching. The annual staff, sponsor, and assistants have worked many hours in bringing you this book. It, too, bears out the fact that Hondo High School is tops. Sincerely, H .R . .Burch Principal HOUSTON B.
