SECONDLY: We hand down to the Juniors our extraordinary ability for flim- flamming and filibustering in class. THIRDLY: We dedicate, to those who follow us, our amiable and congenial dis- positions. FOURTHLY: Our most dignified group, in addition to all these foregoing be- quests, does pass on to their valiant and struggling quaffers at the Mohian spring their long-heralded and patiently-awaited privileges, the which having been a source of exuberance to the hearts of the Seniors on a multiplicity of occasions. FIFTHLY: We now turn to the bequeathing of our natural talents for start- ing fads; for instance, sweat shirts, etc. SIXTHLY: The Senior Girls feel that their weakness for football should be developed in the future years, so they bequeath to the Junior Girls the two team names, “Hinkey Dinks,” and the “Honkey Donks.” LASTLY: We feel that our Faculty Advisers and our very amiable sponsor, Mr. Fagerstrom, should be left something, so we dedicate to them our dignified photo- graphs in this wonderful book, The Mohian.” In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hands and affixed our seal this 3rd day of June, nineteen hundred and twenty-eight. 1928 SENIOR CLASS MOBILE HIGH SCHOOL Francis Peavy Council Sworn to and subscribed before us the said Senior Class of 1928, as its Last Will and attested by us in its presence and in the presence of each other on the date thereof. Lida Goodloe Jack Courtney Francis Peavy Senior Class History Book I And it came to pass in the last days of the reign of Principal Grove over the Kingdom of Ole Barton in the land of Mobile that on a certain day (September 15, 192-1), all the Freshmen did appear before the doors of Mobile High, that they might gain admission. And they were afraid. But kind teachers comforted them and nourished them, and they waxed and grew strong. And now among them there was a certain pupil who was both wise and indus- trious—Bob Schwarz by name. Him did they choose leader. And the tribe prospered, and when examinations did come they withstood them and they were glad. So ended the First Book. 300K II And when the summer was at an end they returned to Barton. Soon from amongst their midst did they choose Edward Suarez leader. And they gained favor with the school by participating in its activities. Now in this time the Kingdom of Barton was very small, and so new lands were taken. And the new lands were called Mobile High, and all were pleased. Thus, the year passed, and when the examinations had come and passed, the tribe of '28 was rewarded with good reports. So endeth the Second Book. 1 BOOK III And after the passing of Grove. K. J. Clark did become principal. And the kingdom increased under his rule. This time the choice of leader fell upon one Dorothy Adams. Now, as it was the custom, the Junior Class did publish throughout the land a school paper. The paper was a success, and was widely read. And this tribe did gain power and was influential throughout the whole school. Likewise, their knowledge was increased—some ten-fold, some fifty-fold, and some an hundred-fold. Soon the examinations were passed, and there was great rejoicing throughout the land. So endeth the Third Book. BOOK IV And now they were in the age of maturity. And prosperity reigned throughout all the land. The lots were casted and the leadership again fell on Dorothy Adams. Now in the kingdom at this time there was a certain form of government which the tribe of '28 favored. It was called Student Government by all. And so they sought to strengthen it, for it was weak. This they did, and for a ruler they chose Ed Suarez. And the Government grew strong and was known throughout all the land. And when the end of the school days of this tribe was nigh, they looked back and saw that all was well done. And they ended their days in peace and quiet. So endeth the Fourth and last Book. Henderson Wallace •28 Senior Class Prophecy Last night as I lay my weary head upon my pillow, a bright light streamed into my room. I watched, and in a few minutes there appeared the Arch Angel Gabriel, and he was carrying a huge golden book. When I was a child, my mother told me that God had a golden book,” and wrote down everything we did in it. The angel came nearer and took a key from the folds of his robe. Then he said to me, “You are to be rewarded for your fifteen years of service in this world. I am going to let you look at the ‘golden book’ and see what your old classmates of the class of '28 are doing.” Thus saying, he took the key and unlocked the book. The very first name on the page was Dot Adams, but she is no longer Dot Adams, but the First Lady of the I and, Mrs. John Wilson. As I read down the page I learned that she had been hostess at a dinner party in honor of Mrs. Freddie Toenes (Lola Risinger). In the list of guests appeared the names of many of my old schoolmates— Roy Robinton, Sidney Flock, Sidney Zutherman, James Stovall, Harry Stover, Philip Thorsen, Scott Shaw, Laurie Winter and J. T. Watts. Then the angel silently turned the page. The second page dealt with doings of the capitol also. I saw where Bill Sharpe was trying to put through a bill on labor for shorter hours and more pay. On the next page the scene shifted to Paris. The first name on the page was that of Virginia Blake. It seems that Virginia and Mary Little have become famous for their figure paintings. Ida Canning, Mildred Clausen, Ruby Crabtree, Astrid Knudsen, Lucille Crosby, Lillian Crowell, Mary Davies, Mildred Davis, Lillian Dona- von, Eva Dougherty, Ike Dowdle and Willard Ducloux are serving as these famous artists’ models. The next item was the account of the successful brain operation performed on Tom Moore by the famous surgeon, Friencn Simpson. Drs. Paul West and Henderson Wallace were in assistance. The next recording was of the success of Ola Mae Woodruff playing the leading role in “Carmen” at the Bernard Adair Opera House. I read further and learned about the previous night performances of the Mans- field Wright Cabaret. The first thing on the program was a solo dance by Margaret Ulbricht, which was followed by an Egy ptian dance by Lida Goodloe and Dora Little (Gabriel frowned at this last recording). The evening entertainment was concluded by Ed Suarez, famous designer in ladies’ apparel, exhibiting the latest spring fashions. The group of models was composed of Martha Dumas, -Lettie Dykes, Mildred Edwards, Elsie Colmer, Lucille Busby, Edith Campbell, Elizabeth Austin, Frances Drury, Frances Peavey, Grace Athey, Ida Lou Andrews and Alice Dahlgreen. As the pages were turned the scene had not yet shifted from Paris. There was an account of the round-the-world flight of Con Little and his mechanic, Francis Wyatt. The two were met on their return by their wives, respectively, Ethel Morrill and Virginia Madison. 1 1 saw where the Hinkle Hospital had just received a loving cup for being the most modern institution of its kind in the world. To my surprise, I saw the internes were old friends of mine—Grady McDaniels, Jack Courtney and James Fatheree. The staff of nurses is composed of Sumner Adams, Mama Barefield, Gertrude Beck. Ruby Bell, Elizabeth Beuk, Myrtle Bolton, Luella Bowling, Evelyn Bradford, Margarite Brandau, Thelma Britain, Eunice Brunson and Catherine Dudley. I read on eagerly as Gabriel turned the pages; it was so interesting to hear about these people after fifteen years of separation. As the pages were turned I learned that Clara Sharpe had led an expedition into the wilds of Africa in search of the “Missing Link.” Martha Homer, Amelia Laws, Louise Hollingsworth, Hattie Mae Jones, Ruth Thompson, Louise McLeod, Marion Inge, Fidelis McCreary and Fannie Mae Kyle were in the party. Leonard Goodloe is manager of the Cawthon Hotel, and because of his weakness for the attentions of the “fair sex” has employed Esther Lou McAuley, Marie Layton, Harriet Heiter, Amelia Moore, Mattie Lee Miller and Katharine Reed as bellhops. On the next page I found that Virginia McLeod is still fond of playing with door- knobs—she owns a factory that makes door-knobs. Edna Mae Rolison, Alta Scott, Margaret Puryear, Corinne Threadgill, Oline Steadham, Inez Pierce, Eva McEvoy, Sadie Perdue, Robert Correy and Mentor Catlin are employed at Virginia’s factory. I was very much amused when I read that Berkely Bush and DuVall Headley have organized a club to stop the ridicule of people with “flaming locks.” Mary Har- ris, Nortan Williams, Sara Owens, Frank Bacches, Mable Crenshaw and Corinne Kit- tle are important members of the club. On the next page I saw where Manly Dennis is directing the Saenger Orchestra, and eight of my old classmates of ’28 are playing under his direction. They are Wil- liam Freeman, Leo Hermann, Don Houser, Homer Humble, George Hunt, Harry Hutchings, Eugene Thoss and Janice Saunders. Can you imagine it—J. D. Bush is now editor of The Mobile Register. Mrs. Bush, the former Myrtle Ellen Lowder, takes his dictation all day, but does a little dictating herself after working hours. J. D. always had a high opinion of the students of our old Alma Mater, and he must still have that idea because he has Inez Smith, Louise Glass, Hubert Baumer, Sylvia Graeber, Culver Bodden, Eulalie Greenwood, Byron Boone, Willouise Graham, Gladstone Bowen, Gertrude Hackmeyer, Howard Bruister and Carl Busbee in his employ. As Gabriel continued turning the pages, I read rapidly to find out more about those friends of the “good old school days,” and to my amazement I found that Edwin Gould is a missionary in China. The Americans in his church are Etta Summerlin, Katie Lee Moore, Mattie Parker, Nell Taylor, Ruth Simmons, Lillian Woodruff and Lucille Wheyland. The next section dealt with a private school for girls owned by Mable Edwards. The complete faculty is of my old Mobile Hi: Metha Inholm, Kathryn Farmer, Marie Farnell, Myrtle Farnell, Inez Fleming, Mary E. Fondee, Florence Freeland, Anita Freeland and Adelaide Frisbie. The office secretaries are my two most beloved friends—Claire Gambrel and Kanna Centry. In the next pages, which related the schedule of the M. H. S., I scanned in vain to find the name of some beloved teacher. Fifteen years make a big difference, and the teachers of old have left their posts of duty to be filled by the younger genera- tion. Still, the names thrilled me because they were the seniors of ’28. Alan Troup is principal, and Miss Mae has been succeeded by Florence Rhom. Miss Fitzgerald is in the office no more; Florence Moss and Bessie Toulmin have taken her place. Ruth Jones is the Dean of Girls. The teachers in the English department are Ida Hayssen, Minnie Lee Heath, Anise Jackson, Mable Johnson, Esther Johnson, Helen Johnson, Janice Jackson, Clinton Crawford, Horace Culver, Fletcher Davis, William Douglas, Paul Dulaney, Emmet Dunning and Lennox Falck. When I read this account, I won- dered where “Eternal Jim” was—would you believe it—the very last name on the list was “James Harbin, head of English department, room 212.” In the math, depart- ment are John Hosfelt, Harry Hargrove, Anna Haight, Edith Johnston, Evelyn Jones, Clarine Kern, Claire Kamil and Wilhelmina Kamphius. In the science department are Elmer Green, M. J. Godwin, Edward Gaston, Lily Lind, James Fulford, W. E. Ful- ton, Ella King, Rosalie Hanly, Amalie Koehler and Marie Langlan. In the language department are Harry Sumrall, James Trammel, Fred Stoll, Carl Pooley, Leon Mc- Leod, Claude Steele, Ruby McAuley, Mary McConnell, Miriam Worthington. Margie Perez, Grace Schenuer and Miriam Toulmin. In vocational department are Norman Falck, Margaret Torgersson, Elizabeth Strange, Virginia Stimpson, Rosie Lee Sim- mons, Angeline Shearer, Clarence Taylor, Dan Stannard, Robly Simpson, Joe Serda and Bob Schwarz. Here and there among the last pages of the golden book I found familiar names. Some were doctors, lawyers, bankers, mechanics and some were seamstresses, secre- taries, housewives, and ether professionals. All the names were there with their posi- tions after them. Averis Jackson, Edward Jones and Edwin Jones, chief bakers at Smith’s; Abe Kamil and John Klass, janitors at the Battle House; Hugh Lesesne, veterinary doctor; Jacob Linnick and Zussman Lubcl, fruit peddlers; Carol McConaghy and Mansfield McCowan, inventors of a sausage mill; Ellis Mclnis and Curtis Moody, owners of Chunchula’s new and only barber shop; Arthur McNarmare and Willie Mc- Neil, heavyweight champions of the world, Jake Machefsky, manager of the Merri- wether Dry Goods Co.; Paul Mader and Graham Mallett, prominent divorce case law- yers; Therrell Malone, Oscar Mason, Harry Mattei, Robert Miller, Patrick Meyers, Robert Patterson, Charles Perez and Arthur Quackenbuch, struggling extras in the Ikie Burns Film Co.; Charles Pettus, owner of a formula to produce laziness fifteen minutes after taking; Henry Roberts and Martile McMillan, doctors in the Griffith Bros.

Gabriel then closed the book and locked it. The light began to fade, and while I lay thinking of all I had read, the glorius sun rose, and it was time for me to get up and go on my way, a spinster school teacher. Helene Peattie Senior Class Poem (With Apologies to Kipling) We've taken this place as we found it; We’ve raved and we’ve fussed in our time; We’ve had our pickings o’ teachers. An’ most of the lot were fine. One was the mark of precision. And one had the skill of a judge, And one was the principal of it all, And for him no one would fudge. We were so young at Ole Barton. Shy little “Hats” to begin, The Sophs came up and took us. And the Sophs were clever as sin! Wiser than us by a jugful— More like demons than men— They gave us the board, while we said not a word. And we learned about Barton from them. When Sophs we moved to the High School. A place of beauty indeed! Where the spirit of goodwill abounded. With ‘‘Service to others”—our creed. The Library, Arts Building, and Auditorium (And in the future a Gym) Have given much joy to each girl and boy, And we learned about High School from them. Next year we were known as the Juniors; We were given a place of high rank; We gave a new name to our paper; We encouraged each section to bank. Our class ring we made quite historic. With five flags, panther, and date, We can say with a shout, and without any doubt. That our class was the best in the state. A word we must say for our “Panthers,” Who fought for our colors so bright: They’ve beaten up “Bulldogs” and “Badgers,” And have come home clean in the fight. An’ in sports of every description, Our teams have been ’mong the best; And we’ve played on the square and we’ve each done our share, By backing our teams with a zest. We’ve taken this place as we found it, An’ now we must chuck it all down; But the longer one stays at the High School, The more he wants to hang ’round. With a feeling of sadness we’re leaving, For it hurts us to say good-bye, And tho’ we will roam far away from our home, We’ll cherish our school, Mobile Hi.

Thus came the class of ’25-’26 to Old Barton, their training camp. During this period of training the Rookies buttoned on their uniforms of “learning,” and drilled by the hour under Lieutenant Study. During their battles they bravely tackled their enemies, Mathematics, Latin, and Eng- lish. They were always striving onward to win their goal, which was the capture of the City of Education, located on the high Mountain of Learning. Because of the continuous drilling of the army, and the tramping of many feet, the camp began to need repair. So the army was moved to a new camp, Mobile High. Toward the close of the ’25-’26 year of the war, the army was handicapped by the loss of Captain Grove, who found it necessary to leave these quarters and take charge of some troops in another part of the country. His vacancy was filled, how- ever, by Captain Clark. This new leader soon proved to be a “fine follow” in helping the soldiers over the muddiest trenches, and through the hardest battles. The ’26- 27 season bgan with a few more soldiers being added to the ranks. The soldiers won some athletic victories over some neighboring Cadets, and Hillians, secur- ing their place as champions of the city in which the camp was located. The troops secured a loving cup forthe best play in the State, thus adding another victory to their list. About the middle of the year the army was dealt a staggering blow by the loss of their brave General Murphy, and for a time the camp was at a loss to find some- one who could fill his place. Calls were sent far and wide, and finally gallant Gen- eral Griggs was sent to fill the vacancy, soon winning the love and respect of the troops. The affairs of the army began to run smoothly once more. Thus the year Jf - 27 came to a close, with the Guardian Angel, Miss Mae, watching over the army, ready to help at the least signal of distress. The ’27-’28 year began with more enlistments, and more experienced troops. Im- portant victories were won over the militia from Ensley, Spring Hill, and Wrights. On the eleventh day of Novembtr, the entire army was given a leave of absence of twenty-four hours, in which to celebrate the signing of the Peace Treaty of the World War, which the troops joyfully welcomed. On returning to the barracks, hard drilling set in, with little pleasure until the Christmas holidays, which brought on a cold, hard winter. Mid-term examinations began; these were to tell which were to remain for further orders, and which were the ones to march on. After this struggle, many of the troops advanced, marching bravely on, singing victory songs, and gaining fame for themselves in many ways. But here we must leave our troops, as they march up hill and down dale striving ever to win, that they may gain the peace treaty, which they hope will be signed near the close of next year.

Everybody was going on a hunting expedition, in the fearful jungle called Sophomore. The guns were put in order, and the supplies were loaded on the backs of the beasts of burden. “Ho! everybody ready? called the leader. “Ho! lead on! was the answering cry. Off they started, and if some had known the hardships they were to have, I think they would have stayedathome. They had the route all mapped out. They would stop at the first jungle, kill all of the wild animals and go on to the next until they had come to the end of the trail; to the beautiful place called Junior. It would take many, many weary days to get through this dreadful jungle. “Where do we stop first? someone asked. “Have you not heard of the jungle called Geometry? It is fearful, but keep your wits about you. Keep watchful, alert and don’t let a thing happen that you don’t see, for it will be bad for you. They traveled on and on, and soon they came to a denser part of the jungle. “Watch your step, everybody. We are nearing Geometry.” Guns were snatched up by the hunters, and some of them even had bows and arrows. Boom! Boom! Boom! sounded the guns. Some had killed “equations, the most fe-ocious animal of all. “Did anyone kill a ‘graph’?” asked the leader. “Yes, yes, they were easy to get,” they all cried. “Get the rest of them and let’s get out of here.” Everybody did his best, and with only a few dropping back, they went on, only to meet some great dragons. “What jungle is this?” someone asked, ready to turn back any minute. “This is “Biology, the leader answered, “and those are some of the reptilia and arachnida. What ferocious beasts they were, ready to tear you to pieces if you are not careful; and they were hard to kill, too. One shot did not daunt them; they came on until you “filled them full of holes. Finally they traveled on, losing as little time as possible. Next they came to Hygiene, and those who were healthy and wise got through safely, but the others were left sadly behind. Then came the largest jungle of all, called English. Someone said even if the beasts did not eat him up he would die of misery thinking of all the others he had to kill to get out. Most of them killed tw'o beasts witb one shot by getting Minimum Essentials and Century Hand Book together. Many hard and trying days were spent here, and although some fell back, the others trudged on steadily, dreaming of the end of the trail. The last but not least jungle was Language. Many animals appeared that they had never heard of before. There were some dreadful ones called “idioms,” which looked very much like “idiots to some of the hunters. They had always said lan- guage was dead, but they did not think so then, for it was hard to keep away from them. Then they came to the end of the trail, happy and singing and glad they had come through with a smile on their faces. Dorothy Wilson 'as Sophomore Class Poem When four long years have slowly passed, And school for us is o’er at last, When Fate, with kind but solemn look, Is closing the chapter of her book, We’ll all look back and breathe a sigh For those glorious days that now glide by, For that one short year of purest gold, For the pleasures that each day did hold, We think upon each separate joy, As happiness without alloy, And all those thoughts will center on The Sophomore year that’s o’er and gone.

Mr. Hand ■ Freshman Class Poem At the opening of Term ’27 and ’28, A freshman stood at the “Mo-Hi” gate. Gazing with wonder at all that did seem The true realization of his dearest dream. With a tug at his books, he joined the large throng. Feeling thrilled at the thought that he’d there soon belong: He joined all his classmates from years in the past. Elated at getting to high school at last. New joys at high school he’ll find all the years. He’ll catch the old spirit, and learn the new cheers; But always for freshmen he’ll have a soft spot. For he knows all the things that fall to their lot. Virginia Dunlap % Ys Goodwill Tour Of The “Spirit Of Mobile Hi” “The Spirit of Mobile Hi,” crowded with passengers, who were being introduced as newcomers in the academic courses, started on its perilous flight across the Sea of Learning. The passengers were a little bit shaky and nervous at first, but later be- came accustomed to the rocking of the plane, and enjoyed the scenery very much. They stopped in Spain, visiting Fulcher, and then went on to Wilkie, the capital of England. From there they went to the Latin quarter of Duffee. They encountered bad atmospheric conditions in Port Mid Exams, and some decided that they would not make the rest of the trip. Coming back they took a route via the Gulf of Knowledge and the Isthmus of Experience. After a few minor engine troubles, and a broken propeller, they arrived at the end of their trip, very much satisfied, and determined to make another trip the following year.

Thomas Youngblood, Bessie L The Vocational Course The vocational automobile course has been started in the Mobile High School for the benefit of those who are certain that they cannot go through the regular high school course. It will give those who are not able to take the regular high school work a chance to learn a trade. This is a two-year course, and will give a boy enough knowledge in auto mechanics to secure a position in a garage. A boy who is talented in this sort of work will find it interesting to take this. The vocational mechanics was started in 1926-27. During the first year of this course, sixteen boys took it. In 1927-28 only twelve boys started. The boys taking this course not only work on automobiles, but they are given a little Knowledge in welding, molding, machinist and electrical work. This course taken in a good deal of electrical work, and has a few required subjects, besides working in ihe shop, which will help when the student has left school to go to work. English is the most important required subject. When one is in the automobile business, he should know how to speak as well as write business letters and use good grammar. Science is something every mechanic should know. He should know the chemical effect one metal has on another, what causes the chemical effect, where different metals come from, and how each metal should be treated. He should know the prin- ciple of electricity, and of what importance it is. He should know of what impor- tance the battery is and how it is constructed. A mechanic should know mechanical drawing. There are times when working on a car that he will have to refer to a blueprint or make a drawing of some sort. Mathematics will help a mechanic out in time of trouble, and probably save him or the boss a good deal of money. All of these studies may be secured in the vocational department of Mobile High School. Fred Peterson The class roll of the vocational department is: Second Year—Edwin Bill, Max Humble, Clarence Moore, Fred Peterson, Leslie Bayfield, Moody Williams. First Year—Turner Granade, Ernest Winter.

LAWLER Mat sacrificed his afternoons that he might be of service to coach and the squad. He was always willing to do his part that we might have a successful team. B. T. DOBBINS Coach just finished his fourth year at M. H. S. During this time no team has scored over 13 points against his, and fig- ures show that his teams have averaged G points to the opponents 1. Their success was due to the clean principles that were set down by Coach. J. C. VAUGHAN Vaughan was the man who did much and got little. His was the job of seeing that our teams were properly financed. The team owes him much, for he was respon- sible for their equipment, the best to be obtained. •28 BILL SHARPE Three Year Man Big Bill was a groat back, but because of the team’s weakness at center, he sacri- ficed his ball carrying ability in order to strengthen the team. And strengthen the team he did, for he always opened great holes when the plays were over center. EDWARD SUAREZ Three Year Man This big 190 pound linesman played a consistent game at left tackle. Ed was at his best on the offense, for there were few lines that Molpus and Suarez could not make a hole through. This combination made our over-tackle plays a sure gain. OLIVER HAAS Three-Year Man Oliver was the long distance man of the team, for when he passed the line of scrim- mage there were few secondary defenses that could stop him. This was due to his wonderful ability to stiff arm and sidestep. “Lead” was also great at making interfer- ence. These qualities stamp him as one of the best backs to ever don a M. H. S. uni- form. FREDDIE TOENES Three Year Man Because of his line-plunging ability, he was of great value to the team. When from two to four yards would mean first down, Freddie always carried the ball. C. L. NELSON Two Year Min C. L. was the “Billy Speares” of the backfield, for in addit'on to calling the sig- nals, he passed, punted and carried the ball. His passing was acclaimed the most accurate in these parts, while his punts were always quick and well placed. ERNEST MOLPUS Two Year Man “Sleepy” was the outstanding defensive end in this city. When a play started around the left side of our line, it was a sure bet that the opposing team did not know’ much about our left flanksman. for these plays were always doomed for a loss. •28 EMMETT CONRAD Two Year Man Coming back to school after having been out in Texas for a year (lost fifteen pounds while out there), Conrad filled a bad looking spot at right guard. Connie was good on the offense, for when he heaved his 210 pounds of bone and muscle at an opposing line, something just had to give. JAMES STOVALL Two Year Man Jimmie lived up to his name as the fast- est man on the squad. Often he would play a defensive end and an offensive back. In this way we had a fast man for end r'ins and a sure tackier for defensive play. J. D. BUSH Two Year Man It was J. D.’s stellar playing that bal- anced his side of the line. He was at his best on the defense, for there were few times that a team threatened to gain through right tackle. Bush was also good at blocking punts; some of these figured greatly in Blue and Gold victories. JAMES SPAFFORD One Year Man At first it seemed as though we would have no center, so Coach gave Jim a ball with orders to learn how to snap it back. Just as regular as the days pass, so his cen- tering improved. By the middle of the season he had rounded into a good center Jim has two years more, and in this time should develop into another Bill Sharpe. PERCY MERIWETHER Two Year Man Percy just rounded his fourth year out for the team and his second year on the varsity. Percy had all of the qualities of a football player, but his weight was a great handicap. He was always the first on the field and the last to leave. This spirit made him his place on the team. HAPPY WHATLEY One Year Man Whatley, the smallest man out for the team; but because of his determination and fighting spirit, he made a regular place for himself at right end. With a little more weight, “Hap” should have an even better season next fall.' •28 WILLIS PHIPPS One Year Man When Sharpe was shifted to center, a hole was left in the backfield. Coach chose “Bud” Phipps as the logical man to fill it. There was no mistake in the choice, for “Bud” delivered the goods. He has two more years on the varsity. THERILL MALONE One Year Man This stocky boy played an important part in the winning of our games, for when the backs could not gain through the line, Coach always sent Bill in. Then a few passes to him (he seemed to have the arms of an octopus) would put the team in a scoring position. BILL BARROW One Year Man When the season started one of the big questions that confronted Coach was the guard’s position. “Swillie” was the an- swer to this problem. He had all of the qualifications of a good guard, except weight. But what he lacked in weight was more than made up in fighting spirit and grit. ■2 -3L JACK HYBART One Year Ma n Jack showed more improvement than any man on the squad. Toward the last of the season he was giving the regulars a run for their positions. Hybart should make a good tackle next fall. DANIEL PETRO One Year Man Petro was an aspirant for the backfield, but Coach saw in him the possibilities of a great linesman. Some of these qualities were brought out during the past season; the main one being a fast and terrific charge. “Red” has two more years on the varsity. He should make good. 3ERKELEY BUSH One Year Man “Red” did not know what the words “give up” meant. The results were that when his big chances came, he made good. Berkeley’s biggest asset was his ability to jass the ball accurately. Summary of the Football Season Score Opponent— ' MoIIi Grove Hill .................... 0 5 Laurel ......................... 24 G.

Maid Miss Rhen Maid Miss Adams Team’s Sponsor Miss Little •28 Maid Miss Lowder Captain’s Sponsor Miss Koehler Maid Miss Hempstead MOH I AN • •28 Boys’ Basketball Season We started the season off in great form, easily defeating the boys from Jones Mill by the score of 26-7. We took the lead at the start, and at no time did Jones Mill threaten to overcome it. Cassidy and Sharpe of Mobile, and Green of Jones Mill were the high point men; while on the defense, King of Jones Mill and Haas of Mo- bile stood out. The Panthers made it two straight when they defeated the soldiers from Wright's Military School. The game was close in the first quarter, with Taylor ringing a field goal for U. M. S., and Molpus a foul for Mobile. At the end of the half the score stood 10-9, U. M. S. The scoring was frequent during the third quarter, with Mo- bile having an advantage, 17-16. The final score was 23-19, Mobile. The stars wer Taylor and Wilson for Wrights, and Cassidy and Haas for Mobile. The Bulldogs from Wrights defeated Mobile for the first time in three years when they won, 19-16. Taylor led the attack for the Cadets with eight points, while Pitts stood out at guard. Linnick rang up 6 points and Perez 5 for Mobile, while Suarez played a good game at guard. The U. M. S. won the city championship when they defeated Mobile for the sec- ond time by the score, 20-19. Mobile held the lead at the half, score 10-9. In the final half Wright’s opened up a brilliant attack that put them on the large end of a 20-19 score, as the final whistle blew. In the district tournament, which brought together some of the best teams in the Southeastern part of Alabama, Mobile defeated Wright’s in a thrilling game by the score of 27-25. The Wright’s Cadets held a 16-7 advantage at the end of the first quarter, as the result of the stellar shooting of Wilson. In the last three minutes of the first half, Mobile shook the jinx that had been following her for the past two games. She started a sweeping attack that lasted through the finals. At the end of the half. Mobile had cut the lead to 16-11. Wright’s failed to score again in the third quarter, while Mobile took the lead; score, 19-16. In the last second of the game, with the score tied. 25 all, Sharpe checked Perez’ shot for two points. Wright’s lost a golden opportunity; they had four fouls to shoot, but missed all of them. Mobile defeated Bay Minette in the semi-finals. 30-9. Mobile got an early lead, due to the wonderful shooting of Perez, and held it all the way. The stars were: Perez. Toenes for Mobile; and Lawson for Bav Minette. Mobile won the district championship when they defeated Evergreen in the finals, sccre 12-29. In this gam®, as the one before. Mobile t ot an enrlv lead that was never overcome. Perez rang up 20 points for Mobile, while McCrary rang up 21 for Evergreen. Defeat again hit camp as the Sidney Lanier Poets handed Mobile a 35-18 set- back. Lanier held a 5-4 advantage at the quarter mark and a 17-12 lead at the end end of the half. Going and Caine of Lanier led the offense, while Andrews n'aved a great game at guard. Sharpe and Perez were the scoring men for Mobile, while Sua- rez was the best on the defense. Mobile had her hones shattered at the state tournament at Tuscaloosa, when an unheralded team from Slocumb handed her a 20-22 defeat in her first game. Sharpe and Miller were the outstanding men on the Mobile team. In addition to the school games. Mobile met with fairlv good success with the town teams, 't'h v were beaten by the Y. M. C. A. Varsity, the nick of Mobile. 45-15: and by the McGowin-Lvons team. 30-29. Mobile Hi holds victories over the Mer- chants Bank, who at that time had 13 straight wins; score, 43-28. Other victories were over Cnchton Methodist Sunday School. Bcnson-Beckmann Paint Co., and two games with the Rangers, a team composed of former Barton men. Girls’ Basketball Season They went, they saw, and they were conquered, though not completely, for the defeats they have received this year will only spur them on to greater victories next year. It is not to be expected that a team should strike everyone dumb with amaze- ment by winning all its games. Thus our team did admirably, and they have left behind them a name that will not be forgotten quickly. The Pantherettes opened this season with a defeat from Jones Mill, the state champions. In the first two quarters of the game, the Pantherettes outclassd the Jones Mill iassies, the score at the half being 8-7. Jones Mill rallied in the last half after two of the regular Pantherettes had been eliminated on fouls. The substitutes fought hard, but were unable to cope with the superior weight of their opponents. Thus the game ended 24-14 in favor of the state champs. The stars for M. H. S. were Davis, Jarrell and Farmer. Sawyer, an all-state forward, was the outstanding player for Jones Mill. The other players would be hard to outclass in their perform- ance. Fate interfered and cast her favor toward the Pantherettes in the second game of the season, when they played Bay Minette on January 21. With the first sound of the whistle, both teams began vivaciously. In the first few minutes, the Panther- ettes began to show what kind of team good material and good coaching make, and they asserted over the Bay Minette lassies a superiority which they upheld through all four quarters. The game moved rapidly, since there were few goals made, and since both teams consisted of rather swift players. Farmer played one of her best games. She covered her court as though she had borrowed the winged sandals of Mercury and shot 13 of the 15 points. Jarrell was another one of the outstanding luminaries of this struggle, though the brand of bas- ketball that Hill and Heiter put out would be hard to match. Culpepper and Davis played equally as well in their respective places. Pettiss and Shelton covered their territory with their usual ability. Fate also shone down upon the Mobile girls in their third game, when they de- feated Theodore, 17-4. The Mobile Hi players displayed their superior experience over the Theodore girls by piling up an early lead that was never threatened. Cap- tain Davis played one of the best games that any of our forwards have played this season, leading her team in the triumph by ringing 10 of the 17 points. The fine work of Culpepper, who is a promising all-state forward, must not be overlooked. The splendid defense work of Jarrell and Pettis were likewise a noticeable feature of the game. Mobile Hi added another victory to her list by defeating Atmore on February 24. In the first half of the game the Pantherettes undoubtedly outplayed the Atmore girls, and the half ended in Mobile Hi’s favor; but the Atmore girls, true to their rep- utation. rallied in on the last half; and it was only through the hard fighting of Jar- rell and Pettis that the Atmore forwards were kept from scoring. The Pantherettes were able to hold their own against this renewed attack, and were still ahead when the game ended with a s ore of 24-12. The Pantherettes held true to their motto— “Not a team of crack players, but a crack team.” The Pantherettes traveled over to Bay Minette Saturday, February 11, to try to reassert their fi t victory on the home court by defeating the Bay Minette lassies on their court. This was not as easy as the first, for the Bay Minette girls had been practicing hard, hoping to retaliate. The game ended in a tie, 11-11. This game was not as tamely played as the first, because both teams had the fighting spirit from the opening of the game. First one team and then the other was ahead in breathless succession. The first half ended with Mobile Hi two points ahead. Each team fought hard until the final whistle blew. The whole team played with its usual ability. The Pantherettes made another conquest by defeating the girls from the Con- vent of Mercy. The Convent players fought a good game, but they were no match for the Pantherettes. From the first tip-off, the Pantherettes asserted their superior- ity. The score at first rose gradually, but surely, in Mobile Hi’s favor; then the ball found the hoop almost rapidly, the whole team playing with calm, deliberate confi- dence—not overconfidence, for throughout the game they played their hardest lest victory should slip away through their opponent’s goal because the Convent players yielded rather reluctantly. Signals were carried out with unusual artfulness, and the passes moved like clock-work. The stars for M. H. S. were Davis, Pettiss and White. The Mobile Hi girls met their second defeat from the Atmore aggregation, who won by a score of 26-17. In the first two quarters, the Pantherettes outplayed the Atmore team, the score being 11-5. In the second half the opponents rallied and fought their way to victory. Jarrell was out on account of injuries. Evans, who took her place, played her best game of the season. Davis and Hill also played well. Nettles-and English starred for Atmore. The Pantherettes played in ill-luck when they drew Jones Mill, the state cham- pions, as their opponent in the district tournament. Mobile Hi’s visions for the state tournament were shadowed by the defeat from Jones Mill, although the Pantherettes played a good game. Both teams fought well all the way through. Jones Mill was ahead at the end of the first half by a score of 20-7. The defense of the Mobile Hi guards during the second half was strong in the hope that the team could overcome the score; but their efforts were in vain. The final whistle blew with the score in Jones Mill’s favor, 35-15. The accuracy with which the ball found the hoop for Culpepper and Davis showed that M. H. S. has two good forwards. The Mobile Hi girls again met the state champs on the home court on January 25. This was just as hard feught as were the other two games. The first half ended with Jones Mill 3 points in the lead, the score being 15-12. Both teams rallied, but Jones Mill defeated M. H. S. again, this time with a score of 36-16. Among the guards, however, let the true fighting spirit be sought. Jarrell and Farmer fought like Trojans to keep the Jones Mill forwards from scoring; and, though failing to do so, had it not been for their splendid work, Jones Mill would have won by a still higher score. Heiter played a marvelous game, which will not soon be forgotten. We played our last game March 3, and were victorious. We started with the first whistle and held the lead all the way through. Lanier played a good game, but the Pantherettes were too strong for them. In the first quarter the Pantherettes held the Lanier aggregation scoreless. In the next quarter Lanier made 4 points and M. H. S. was 11. In the last half Lanier did not make a score, and the Pantherettes doubled their score. Davis, Heiter, Farmer and Jarrell played a good game. We had three practice games with the alumnae before the season opened, and we were victorious.

About sixty-five boys answ’cred the call. Then came the long, tiresome task of “weeding” out the squad. After about two weeks of hard work this was accomplished, and the squad now numbered twenty-seven capable youngsters. Of this twenty-seven, the school’s championship hopes will rest more heavily upon Thcmpson, Toenes, Suarez, Jackson, Stovall, Cassidy, Whatley, Malone and Scott; while on the reserve list, Wilson, Nelson, Fautz, Wright, Towle and Her- man stand out. Thompson is a likely catcher with an arm that should throw out many would-be base stealers. Toenes is a veteran of two seasons who should furnish the heavy hitting of the club. Jackscn, the red-headed slugger, will be back in center field. He will probably be flanked bv Stovall, the speed demon, in left, and by Suarez, another heavy hitter, in right field. Malone, Cassidy and Whatley will handle third, shortstop and second base, re- spectively. These boys are great fielders, as well as timely hitters. Scott, a veteran from last year, will be the mainstay of the pitching staff, with Fautz and Herman playing the relief role. Should any of these men be put out because of injuries. Wilson, a catcher; Wright, an infielder, and Nelson of the outer garden, will probably fill in the gap. When the Annual goes to press, Mobile High will have played only one game, that being with the First National Bank. The Panthers experienced little difficulty in defeating the Bank Boys, the final score being 9-5. The Mobile team showed unusually fcood form for the first game of the season. If they keep up the good playing, they should experience little difficulty in defeating Wright’s and Spring Hill, thereby winning the city championship. This will give them two “legs” on the loving cup given by the city each year to the champs. Some of the best teams in Southeast Alabama are on the schedule. These in- clude such teams as Bay Minette and Jackson. Plans for games with Pensacola. Florida, and G. C. M. A. of Gulfport. Missis- sippi, are also under way. The scores of these games will appear in the Annual of ’29.

Its successful work and almost perfect functioning powers have attracted wide interest throughoct the State. The students, as a rule, have proven themselves appreciative of the work of the Student Council, the governing body of this association. Students have been taking greater interest in their government this year. Were it not for the hearty co-opera- tion of the students, the Council would not have been nearly so successful as it has been. This year has seen the transformation of the Honor Committee, the main com- mittee of the Council, into an educating committee as well as a committee on disci- pline.

Laurie Winter Ed Suarez On March 9, 1928, thirty-nine new members were elected to the National Honor Society from the graduating class of Mobile High School, 1928. The National Honor Society is an organization for the high schools similar to that of the Phi Beta Kappa for colleges and universities, and only students of marked ability are eligible.

The national headquarters are at the University of Iowa. The national founders include such noted men as William Allen White, editor of the Emporia Gazette, and Karl A. Bickel, president of the United Press Association. The emblem of the organization is the “Quill and Scroll.” At the initiation ceremony held in The Mobile Hi Times room last session, talks were made by Mr. Clark, principal of the school; Mr. J. B. M.vric, assistant editor of The Register; Miss Bright, organizer of the Mobile Chapter, and Mr. Laurie Winter, editor of The Mobile “Hi Times.” The officers elected for the session of 1927-28 were: President, Laurie Winter; Vice-President, Willouise Graham; Secrtftary-Treasurer, Robert Patterson. The faculty advisers are those for The Mobile Hi Times. The chapter aims to encourage journalistic work in the school, and to reward those with talent. Membership in the organization is the highest honor that high school authors can obtain. Hi - MOHIAN £ m •28 ■ Mobile High School Players President ... Vice-President Secretary .......

First before my eyes there appeared two lovers; a youth who had ex- h a u s t e d a field of tell- t a 1 e daisies and was still doubtful if the girl of his somnambulations really and truly loved him. A maiden, poised coyly at a distance, revolving her ignescent eyes in dizzy acrobat- ics. Suddenly he turned, white with desire, and clasped—Fair Sappho, mistress of the art of the liar (typographical error—should be “lyre ) was strumming false notes on her instrument, wilfully deceiving poor Phaon, who knelt amor- ously at her feet. Then, playful- ly hitting him on the head with her harp, she rushed into his— helping hands! The floury (ty- pographical error—should be flowery) Miss Washburn-Cros- by, who received her gold medal for rescuing an earth- worm buried alive, is saying, “Eventually, why not wow?” “Wow, Wow! I want to fish for cats! I mean I want to cat for fish! I mean fish—cat! Oh! my tongue is twisted!” cried dear Johnny Wilson between wows, as the tears strolled down his cheeks. “How can I stop his tears?” cried the love- ly lady. “Stop ’er! Stop ’er!” I cried, beholding Puri- tanical Miss MacLeod dancing, and on Sunday! “Sunday is pay-day,-” she blithely sang, as she kicked her poker winnings aside with one foot and turned off the victrola with the other. “Who’s got a cubeb?” Rather shocked at her somewhat unconven- tional behavior, I shut my eyes, and when I opened them, Lo! my friend. Crow K. Mallett— raiding the refrigerator at midnight No—ah —he was standing beside an ash-can, holding a punctured sock in his hand. He was in rags. As if reading my thoughts, he said, “Yes, I have cut my hair off. I sold my blond locks to buy a tenderloin steak—for her!” He clasped his hands and sighed. “Bang! Clatter! A lock tinkling — Mephis- =o tophelian Machefsky has locked the door —the pool, trembling, adoring Mile. Laws lay cringing at his feet! “You wouldn’t harm a poor working girl!” she cried, ner- vously turning a five-carat diamond ring on her finger. The villain was not lis- tening, however, but was wondering in his diabolical way what it was that hurt so. Suddenly he realized that he had closed and locked the door with his tail caught in the crack, and had thrown the key out of the win- dow! Heaven protects the poor working girl! But alas for the working man! I saw that lovely blond mermaid, Miss Koehler, sun- ning her sunny locks and sing- ing: “Come, come! Absorb my blond-haired spell; This tender trick! Come marry me. I’ll feed you well On love and arsenic!” But the poor work- ing man, Oliver Haas, is fast being drawn down by an unseen force—. A true pic- ture of a gentleman preferring a blond, or vice versa. Just then she leapt down and kissed— With great surprise, I next be- held a peaceful cou- ple—Mary Little and myself! We just had a row. I had said “What a lovely cow!” “It’s not a cow—it’s a snail!” was her retort. ‘Well, what’s it doing in an airplane?” “That's not an airplane—that’s a lady’s hat! This is a picture of the Garden of Eden.” For spite she began to paint a picture of me, which looked so much like olive-oil that in rage I wrote: “Mary is no little lamb; Her rage scare? Nick below; And everywhere that Mary goes Her temper’s sure to go.’’ Disgusted with that, I wrote: WHY I HATE ALL APPLES I picked an apple; green, yet sweet As vinegar A feast complete! In joy I ate the apple. When half was gone, by a horrid clue, I saw a worm had wandered through! And so I hate the apple. =- ■ Then, before I could see anything further, my vis- ion presented petite Mile. Sharpe Billy Dove, chinning herself on a high note. As “Carmen” last year she was accidentally mistaken by the toreador for the bull. As Cow-Cow Sand in Madame Butterfly, she is a popular favorite—with herself. Then suddenly I beheld the sands of the desert, and the figure of Sheik Abou-Ben-Sumral with two of his loveliest lady friends snuggling close in his arms. In in- troducing them he presented Zulika Peavy and Jezebell Johnston. “Shut up!” she said, ‘or I'll put you both in the ice-box!” Startled, I looked harder, and saw that he had two lemons in his hand. “Ain’t they sweet?” he asked. “That’s the harem-scared method,” he added. “We’ll love you till the sands of the desert grow cold!” they cried. c SPRING FEVER w c what a change: the: ol bus and a football swfater makes in a fella’. ■2 M . .J£- °!;ONM0R .0U« ALLSTATE TACKLE.

But never before has the standard of bread been as high as it is today. Smith’s Bakery has met this high standard by using only the finest materials obtainable, new and modern ma- chinery, and the most approved scientific methods of bak- ing good bread.
