iiaistnrp of 1916 beniur lass 1 It is said that all infants look alike-hence the class which entered Main High School in 1912 differed in no respect from its predecessors. NYe were just as shrinking and shy, timid and tearful, and had just the same difhculties in threading the high school labyrinths that all Freshmen have encountered. Qur brains were no more brilliant, our beauties no brighter, our brawn no braver to resist the gibes that all the school thrusts at Freshmen. After three months, delay we accumu- lated sufficient courage to elect officers, whose duties were certainly a sinecure. XYith the exception of a few spirited discussions, no business was transacted, so the Secretary, bliss Benedette Moore, spent little time in copying minutes. Klar- tin Winfrey was our President, and he was also interested in Sophomore activities, but he is with us no more. The second year, behold the change! Having suffered no fatalities from former efforts, we now boldly ventured to ex- press an opinion in a slightly stronger tone, and seeing other infants even as miserable as we had been, we immediately seized the opportunity to twit them on their freshness. Select- ing Ernest Hart for our President and Ruth Stern for our Sec- retary, we battled gallantly through the Sophomore year, which, all our teachers assured us, was the hardest year in the high school. Ve began to find congenial spirits, formed wider acquaintances, and made closer friends during this term. Athletics made an appeal to some of our number, and the girls, who for three years have made the basketball team victorious, came forward at this time. Fraternities began to offer their inducements, in fact, all sorts of social activities claimed our attention. Our play, f'The Yicar of XX'aketield, was quite pretentious, and very good. We took a long breath, as it were, before entering as juniorsfsome felt as though they had to study hard the rest of their allotted time, others gave up worrying about books, discovering that good times were to them more desirable. Sam Richardson presided over the 'fjunior Conventionsf' and the accounts of these learned assemblies were inscribed by Miss Blanche Gamble. Our Christmas play, The Prince Chap,'l has been called, without exaggeration, the best class play ever given at high school. The most jealous professional could not have found fault with the actors and the most rigid In this English teacher could not but have liked the play. memorable year of 1915, we actually screwed up our courage and opened up our pocketbooks and gave a dance to the Seniors. Ralph Gillam and his colleague, Cameron Brack- ney, spent weary nights groaning over the hnances of this dance, but all the debts incurred by it were finally paid. Many of our boys helped in the minstrel of 1915 and entered all phases of athletics. This, our Senior year, will be the brightest spot in the memory of our school days. Class spirit has been more pro- nounced than ever before and we have been more united in purpose than ever before. The enthusiasm generated at the Oak Cliff football game is still alive and flourishing. As our last year wanes we forget unpleasant things, like the Long Division Room and Hall Permits, and remember only the untiring efforts of our officers and the Dalhi staff. Leon Thurman has ably held the Presidentis chair, and Miss Lucile Brown has been as successful as Secretary as she is in all her undertakings. The staff of the Dalhi has worked without ceasing and with infinite patience to raise the standard of previous publications. The greatest innovations of our school career were intro- duced this year when the Cadet Corps was organized, consist- ing of four tiourishing companies, and regular physical train- ing was established for the girls. Roth institutions have been very beneficial and enjoyable to the majority of the student body. During our voyage over the high school seas, contrary to the advice of the old proverb, we have changed pilots, and the last two years of our course have been completed under the Page Nine
