Churches. and Homes in its heart: m the City. whereh by drinking its healrh-giuing waters, one truly imbibes of the Foumain of Youth. we IouIng- ly dedicate this volume of THE BURRO 5-3 59?: The Superintendents Message I wish to use my allotted space in this book to commend and encourage the new plan of student participation in the affairs of Mineral Wells High School. The better Teacher's Colleges, teacher organization. and progressive city schools are encouraging and fostering these eXtra-curricular activities because this form of student participation can be justified on sound educational prin- ciples, I wish to congratulate the teachers and students on the plan now in operation in our High School. It has required study and planning upon your part. You have realized that we could not take over bodily a program which some other school has developed You have considered wisely local conditions, traditions and background in building our program for activities I believe that student participation in formulating and solving many of the school's problems should be a part of the school's positive program. The students are to be commended for developing the cxtra-curricular activities from within and encouraged to continue the program to a more perfect state of de- velopment. A vital part of our school policy should be to give such leader- ship that under wise supervision there will exist cxtra-curricular activities for every pupil in the school operating under a centralized democratic group of students and teachers called a council. The student body may look back on its accomplishment of this year with a very pardonablc and just pride in the fact that it created a valuable tradition that will be cherished by future students of this schooli accompanying this privilege is the responsibility of actively fostering. promoting. and encour- aging the continuation of student participation in Mineral Wells High School Appreciation HE Editorial Staff of the Burro, representing the sentiments of the Senior Class and the students in general, wish to express its sincerest appreciation to Principal R. H. Brannan and to the entire High School Faculty for their interest and untiring efforts in inaugurating the new schedule of Assemblies, Clubs and Home Room programs to enrich the life of the student body and thereby give each student in Mineral Wells High School an opportunity to grow by participation in the activities he likes. For, without their encouragement and cooperation. Mineral Wells High School could not have attained the high standards not achieved such glorious re- sults in all activities which is has undertaken. Therefore, through this medium we wish to say, UVJe thank you. 7 w 7 a t ,L: t 1L Faye Fourteen 't Jh THE- BURRO DWIGHT STARR, B. A LAURA WALLACE, M. A MARY SCHOBER N. M. M. I.

Pm Tnmwnu J unior Play HMr. Bob a play in two acts. was presented to the public by the Junior Class on February 24, 1928. for the benefit of the Junior-Senior banquet. The scenes were laid in the home of Miss Becky, an old maid with a house full of cats. Miss Becky, played by Nova Rogers. is contemplating remodeling her home to have a thoroughly up-to- date home for stray cats. Her nephew, Philip, played by Tommie Murphy. objects to her doing this. Miss Becky's niece, Evelyn Bryan, a very frivilous young girl. has as her visitor her college chum. Bob. Philip, who has never seen her, gives her the title Mr. thinking that she is the boy with whom Kitty is in love. Philip promises to give up his yachting if Aunt Becky will give up her cats . Bob. Dana Dismuke, and Kitty make it up that Bob will sail Philip's yacht in the coming race, as Philip has promised to give up yachting. Mr. Brown. the man who came down. Robert Alexander. is incidentally given the names, Mn Bob. Mrs Brown, Min Saunders. and Mr. Bob again by different members of the family. He is just a poor, misguided fellow until it comes out that he is not one of the men that the others take him for but rather Mr. Brown. the man who came down to bring Philip some important papers. Mrs Bob wins the race and with it Philip's heart. and it comes out that Philip had fallen in love with her the preceding summer when he had met her at a summer resort. Her true identity is proven when she wins the race The Romeo and Juliet act by Patty, the maid. Bessie Mae Yeager. and Jenkins. the butler, Herman Webb. and their antics throughout the play added much merriment. Altogether it was an hour and a half of laughs and was voted by those who saw it. as one of the cleverest, best directed and acted plays given in the High School. Miss Blanche V. Adams was the coach and Mr. E. E. Baucom the publicity man. Pm Thirty-four VxJ W Undevclassmen Members of the Sophomore Class, with Miss Margaret Brewer, and Mr. W. O. Sisk as sponsors, have undertaken their part in the new idea of student participation in the extra-curricular activities, by presenting programs to the assembiy. and by having well-planned. constructive home room programs.

Never a home game did it miss. but was always there, backing the team until the last whistle. The Girls' squad under the coaching of Miss Brewer, proved itself an inspiration to the boys, for at every home game the girls performed a stunt that was new to those on the field and in the grandstand. Mr. Hendley, who coached the boys squad. brought out the best in our school to yell for our teams. On the field and in the grandstand, the maroon and white uniforms of the boys and girls intermingling with the High School banners proved the Pep Squad to be the best in the history of our school, and no one. except the boys and girls who were fighting for us on the field, fully under- stood their loyalty and school spirit. : pm mcmv FOOTBALL 1! 1927 Season With only a few lettermen back from the H27' season, Coaches Holly and Perryman proved their coaching ability by making a real football team out of new material. Though the Mountaineers did not win all of their games. they gained the reputation of being one of the cleanest teams in our state.

All first year men were awarded the coveted M. while second year men were given gold footballs. The second string men were presented with light weight sweaters, as their reward for their faithful work throughout the season, In assembly. when the boys were presented with these trophies, each boy named another boy whom he would like to see on the gridiron next year. Quite a number of boys responded. Also. at this time, David Meyers. mascot of the team, received recognition for the services he had rendered to the team during the season.
