This joyous, ringing line of poetry found on the Junior title page. exactly expresses the enthusiasm and the pep which has been characteristic of the Junior class this year.

By these two lines from the Sophomore title page, the class is very clearly portrayed. The Sophomore may be said to grasp the hand of the faculty of Mineral Weils High School. and as they are thus led along the way of school life, they progress rapidly in their studies and in other activities. To show just how rapidly they have progressed. it is necessary to see whether or not they are, as a class, making good in class work. and to fmd out just how much they take part in football, basketball, track.

This year an earnest effort, however unsuccessful it may be. has been made to carry out a delinitc theme and atmosphere in the book. to be conveyed in the art work by the beautiful legend of the discovery of Mineral Wells, and in thc subject-mattcr by a history of each organization and activity of Mineral Wells High Schooll In doing all the work necessary to accomplish this purpose, the staff memt bars have ever had the desire to make the book worth while, as a reminder of the events of the present school year and an accurate record of the various activ- ities and organizations of the past in Mineral Wells High School They have even had the audacity to hope that their records of past achievements might have the least degree of influence in firing the students anew with school loyalty and desire to accomplish something worth whileia desire which is likely to burn just a little dim. Pays 4; THE SPANISH CLUB Miss Franks. in 1922. organized the first Spanish club. 131 Loco Casino consisted at that time of approximately sixty members. with Myra Millard as the first president. followed by Lee Ella Costello. No other clubs were organized until 1924. This time Miss Isabcll Hop- good was sponsor. and each term the club is reorganized, consisting of Spanish students paying the required dues and taking part in the meetings on Wednes- day. every two weeks. The purpose of Popocatepetl is to create in high school students a greater desire to learn to speak Spanish. Their work has been a great success this year: a delightful costume party. a number of interesting meetings and entertainments in true Spanish style have furnished fun and worth-whilc instruction for every member, The officers for the present club are: President, Ford Merritt: vicc-presidcnt.

The Hi-Y is a luncheon club somewhat similar to the Kiwanis and Rotary clubs, dealing almost wholly with high school students. Its slogan is clean living, clean speech, and clean sport. The most enjoyable of the meetings held this year was the initiation. which was instructive and full of fun. It will long be remembered, especially by these boys who were initiated.

The purpose of the band is to aid all activities in which a band may be of some assistance. It has boosted Mountaineer athletic teams to victory and has gone to other schools to give programs.

Superintendent R. A Dean and Mr, Huggins. Miss Robinson taught a class in Dramatic Acting one year, and also directed the Senior plays. Mr, Dean directed the plays for three years, and under his able supervision. the students gained valuable knowledge in dramatic work.

The explanation is his motto: iiIt's not whether you win or lose. but how you play the game, May he continue to coach the Mountaineers. COACH PERRYMAN In a quiet. unassuming way. Coach Per- ryman has faithfully assisted Coach Ross in the training of the football squad. The men of the squad and the students admire and respect Mr. Perryman more and more as they become better acquainted with him. This is his Flirst year in M. W. H. S CAPTAIN WEBB Boots received his fourth letter this year. thus ending his illustrious career with the Mountaineers, He was able to think quickly and to act accordingly, As a cap- tain, he was loved and admired by his team and respected by his opponents. CHEEK tCaptain-Elecn After training for three years and cap- turing a letter each time, we shall not worry about the Mountaineer line-up next season with Coat to occupy his old position at half. Determination was a big factor in his success, Paar 57 OUTSTANDING GAMES OF THE SEASON Mineral Wells High School Mountaineers played harder games this year than ever before The opposing teams were afnong the best in the State, and as a result. the Mountaineers became more widely known than ever before, The Strawn game was hard fought, People from all parts of the county witnessed the struggle which resulted in victory for the Mountaineers. 14-0 The most thrilling game of the season was with the Poly Parrots of Polyv technic High School, Fort Worth. Both sides made sensational plays, but the Mountaineers piled up a score of 17-0. Attendance at the game with Clebutne for district championship was estie mated at 2000. About 600 rootets from Cleburne vied with the supporters of the Mountaineers. The Mountaineer line was almost impregnable, but the Cleburne men proved to be consistent ground gainers in the end, and de- feated Mineral Wells by a score of 19-0. This game revealed the real Sports- manship of the Mountaineers. The game with North Side, Fort Worth, was possibly the result of over- confidence, being lost by a score of 10-0. The game was played at home on November IL The fastest game of the season was with the Breckenridge Buckaroos, at Breckenridge, It was said that the Mountaineers were the first team to hold the Breckenridge line plays or to break through their line for any gains. The Mountaineers caused confusion among the Breckenridge players by the Huddle System of calling signals. The Buckaroos won, ZOeOi Weatherfotd. an ancient rival of Mineral Wells High School, was more easily defeated than some of the teams they had previously met. Winning this Thanksgiving game. 7.0, closed the 1925 football season. Page 53 THE MOUNTAINEERS Row OneiBOB RICHARDS. CRIT ABERNATHY, GREEN STOKER, ENNIS THOMAS. JOHN LEDBl-TTTER, BUDDY HAMIL. WILI.

Pay: 63 MEMORIAL FIELD HOUSE Late one afternoon, just after the Thanksgiving game, it was necessary for me to make a trip to Memorial Field House. which was built last summer. through the influence of Judge John C. Miller and other members of the Board of Education. As I entered the door of the field house where the hopes and fears of the past football season had been realized. I felt a rush of tenderness and old memories. I seemed to hear all the banter and the good-natured raillery that was passed from man to man in preparing for practice. I felt the tenseness and over-wrought nervousness before a big games I could see the encourage- ment of one for another, the words of cheer and hope. I could see the looks of determination on each face: the do-or-die look of the captain. and over all I could hear the words of Coaches Ross and Perryman. Its not the score that counts, but how you play the game. Although it was completed in the summer of '25, and used only one season. that field house can tell of many incidents, humorous. and otherwise: it can tell of the men who were tickled pink by the vigorous and never-ceasing gum chewing of a player in the Strawn game: it can recount the story of those who had to tell about the Strawn player. who, when he first went out to prac- tice. was proud of the fact that he was skinny as a bean pole, and there was no suit to fit himl He was the cause of much metriment, and, they said. uWhen we tackled him, we laid his length on the commons. During the Cleburne games, when the half was up and all the players were assembled in the house. Coach Ross made a stirring speech. the words of which will long remain in the hearts of the men as something that is to be kept sacred after the defeat in the game with Cleburne.

The boys are getting real enjoyment out of the games and invaluable train- ing for the Senior team in future years.
