On the following September these boys and girls, having successfully finished the work of the first and second grades, felt it their solemn duty to initiate their younger brothers and sisters into the mysteries of school life. During the year in which they felt so responsible for their brothers and sisters, Miss Lowe was in charge of these young miscreants. Miss Lowe made the school room very pleasant and the third year of their school career soon passed away. After three months vacation these sturdy boys and girls met with bright and cheerful faces to start on their fourth year at school. They met, and soon learned to love Miss Loraine Dees, who taught them for about seven months. At the end of this time Miss Dees decided that she had rather teach one pupil than forty so she got married. Her place was filled by Mrs. M. O. Owens who soon found that she had been placed in charge of a very noisy and mischievous bunch. Her chief punish- ment for these miscreants was a sentence of 45 minutes under the desk. At the end of the fourth school term, vacation was heartily welcomed by all. On September 10th, the books which had been thrown aside in the preceding spring were gathered up and on the next day about thirty-five pupils entered the fifth grade. Miss Adline Bellah at once entered upon the task of teaching square and cube root. Although the fifth grade arithmetic was very hard, most of the students managed to pass to the sixth grade at the end of the term. Miss Mat Roy, who was the teacher during the next year, had a very strong will which was backed by a very strong arm. Miss Bellah, who had become so attached to her students in the fifth grade was allowed to assist Miss Roy in the sixth. With the assistance of Mrs. Burford, Mr. Haynes, Miss Roy and Miss Bellah, prac- tically the whole class finished grammar school and were ready to enter upon their High School career. The next fall these Grammar school graduates entered the Freshman year of High School. They felt their importance very much until they were waited upon by the Juniors and Seniors. After this their heads shrank to their normal size. This year the class was greatly interested in literature, never before were so many novels read. The next year these Freshies entered the Sophmore Class with flying colors. New class mates were joining these all along and some of the old ones were dropping out. Paul Clark was elected President, and he led the class successfully through their Sophmore year. The Junior year was a very eventful one. First event of the year was the “Flag Fight.” One morning, several days after school started, a Senior flag was seen fly- ing from the top of the school building. Before recess it had been replaced by a Junior flag. This caused a great and mighty battle which had to be stopped by the faculty of the school. A Christmas tree at the home of Almeda Murray was the most enjoyable event of the fall and winter. The next spring the best home-talent play that was ever presented in Lubbock was given by the Juniors, the proceeds of which were used to defray the expenses of the Junior-Senior picnic at Post. This was the big event of the year. About one hun- dred Juniors and Seniors left home one Friday morning and went in cars and trucks to Two-Draw Lake at Post. Boating, fishing, swimming, and eating were enjoyed until Saturday afternoon. There was only one serious accident—Alta fell in the lake. The memory of this trip will never be forgotten by those who took part in it. During this, the Senior year, the class has made itself quite noted by its “PEP” and enthusiams. This has been a hard year and the class has undertaken many things, but by living up to its motto: “Find a way, or make one,” we have accomplished them all. We have staged two plays, both of which were a great success. On ac- count of the heavy expenses, we have had to plan many schemes to raise money. This year we have published the best annual in West Texas. It has been the first annual published since 1918. Everyone on the staff has worked hard, but the great- est credit of the success of this undertaking is due to J. R. Dow, the editor-in-chief. Although we have worked hard, we do not believe in all work and no play. This has been a great year of social interest. A delightful time was had by the class on Hallowe’en, Christmas, and Valentine day. In appreciation for their support in the election of the Most Popular Girl, the Seniors gave the Sophmores a banquet. This was enjoyed by about seventy-five Seniors and Sophmores. The work and pleasures of the class have not lowered the standard of scholarship. The Class average has been exceptionally high this year. Such is the incomplete record of the Senior Class. We believe that we have been faithful over a few things, and with strong hearts and high hopes we anticipate still greater achievements in the years that lie out in the future. NOW, Watch us. 1 o
