It is fitting that its highlights should be pre served, and we are fortunate in having a High School Annual to portray and hold these incidents and occasions for our reference and pleasure. To me it has been a very fine year, not only for what we have achieved but for the willingness and cooperation of all who have had a part in it. My life has been enriched and my desire for service enhanced. It is a real pleasure to work in this system with such a fine student body, and I trust your appreciation of your school will continue and grow as the years go by. Congratulation to all who have had any part in preparing HThe Black Catn of '48-'49. Sincerely, 1-.7 C. S.

To the Students of Mexia High: Mexia High has gone a long way toward its aims and ambitions with your work and leadership. Like the 49'ers of a hundred years ago, the way hasn't been easy and sometimes we haven't found our Npay dirtn but your efforts haven't been wasted. It's been a good year and its accomplishments speak well of you. As you leave our school and its faculty behind, remember to keep seeking your gold,-not the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, for wishful dreaming gets you nowhere, but that gold that must be planned for, worked for and earned. Too, remember, that gold can have a mean- ing besides money. It can mean happiness, success, a good home and family, and most of all, a place have attained by your efforts. of your own under the sun, which you Sincerely yours, JGWZHX 9 Mrs. Dorothy Enloe Sec. to Principal MRS.

Senior Class, junior Rotarian, Declama- tion District Champ, Senior Play. LORENE DAILEY Each year it is the policy of the Mexia High School Faculty to choose from the senior class ten students to repre- sent the Who's Who and Why section of our annual. These young people are chosen for the part they have taken in high school lifeg their value as a citizen to the school and its activities. Outstanding scholarship is vital, but unless a student gives more to his school than class grades, high school days would be dull days and none of our activities would exist.

So to you, the ten top-ranking citizens of Mexia High in the class of '49, may we sincerely say, You have given freely of your talents, your time, and of yourselves to make school what it is. You have truly made a place of your own in this school, and now that you are entering broader fields aspiring juniors must carry on.

Although a good line-backer on defense, he did most of his playing while the Mexia team had the ball. Though one ot' the smallest Cat starters, Eller was also one of the toughest. His finest game was against Franklin when he completely subdued 210 pound all-regional guard Frank james. 1, ' Q- 5 l vi- ef ,- CO-CAPTAIN IJERRELI. CQrXRl-ll.E, 138 pound back, was the power runner in the Mexia back-field. He did all the punting for the Cats and was valuable both as a half-back and safety on defense. Carlile, who played his best game against Athens, was a unanimous Choife for all-district fullback. He is a junior and will return next year. , yy If .x x S. xt ! f'i97f -vin- STARLEY TURNER. 140 pound all- district half-back, was Mexia's leading scorer with 65 points. Turner was one of the most feared men in the district because of his adeptness at broken- field running. He had runs of 78 and 79 yards to his credit. and made all three scores against Marlin t s3l H. A. DAWSON, 160 pound guard, was probably the most durable man on the teamg he played all or nearly all of every game. This senior was a good signal-caller and an excellent line- backer on defense. His finest games were turned in against La Vega and Groesbeck. Starley Turner stopping Iiranklin's Watson. Coming to aid in the tackle are Cobb f39j and Russell Q-323. Also shown are Schuster C583 and Dawson tbehind Russellj of Mexia and Sitz of the Lions. eb-n-:fd HENRY RUSSELL, 175 pound back, although inexperienced, was one of the hardest running men on the squad. He was a good line-backer on defense. and played this position all season. Russell. who scored Mexias only touthdown against Teague. finished his eligibility this season. S... in RICHARD RAY, 155 pound back, was the up-man and key figure in the Mexia formation, This senior. who tossed two touchdown passes and two for extra points. was on the all- distritt second team. Rav. who was the best ball-handling hack in the district. was an offensive player only. 41?

He played very little while the Cats had the ball, but he was valuable as a defensive end. Mc- Kissick, who played his best game against Hearne, will play for the Cats again next year. S DONALD COBB, 170 pound end, was one of the most valuable men on the Mexia team. On passes he scored the extra point which beat Marlin, set- ' up stores against Franklin and Groes- hetk, and made the only touchdown against Huntsville. This sophomore made the .ill-district second team. x , Q 'A ' L' , f l LAWRENCE DAVIS, 135 pound sophomore end, was an outstanding lineman despite his diminutive size. He is best remembered for his defen- sive safety workg in four games at this position he intercepted five passes. His most outstanding game was against Groesbeck. l. Y N-e ROBERT CASHION, 195 pound alla district tackle, was the kick-off and extra-point man for the Black Cats.
