As sponsor of the class, she has shown herself to be a considerate teacher, a wise counsellor, and a personal friend to all of us. By unsparing efforts and unselfish devotion of her time, she has instilled in the heart of every Senior the highest ideals—ideals that will ever live in the memory of all of us and that will cause us to become better men and women. 0 Jn mpntnriam JOE McNULTY Class ol 27 Oct. 11, 1909—Sept. 11, 1926 HARDY KILGORE President Here’s the pride of the Senior class, for isn’t he president of the class, editor-in-chief of the Zebra, and a brilliant student, besides?

Page 42 PROPHECY OF THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1927 Miami, Florida My Dear Miss Heard: I wonder if I made a mistake by calling you Miss, but really I haven’t seen you in so long that—oh well, if it is a mistake you may write me and tell all about it. I feel sure that you would be more than pleased to hear any news of your old senior class of 1927, at Pine Bluff, and I am just the fellow to give you plenty of it. This winter when I was in Miami, Florida, on my annual search for rare species of colds, long-haired women, and dry water, I ran into an old school chum of mine, Jac Austin. He has a sweet little wife whom you might remember as Elizabeth Simmons. Mrs. Austin is one of America’s foremost singers. Her favorite song, and the one that she sings at least once in all her concerts, is an old ballad that was popular when I was in your senior class; “Cheri, I love you.” Jac invited me to his home for dinner and we planned to have an interesting discussion of old school days. On the way to his home he informed me that there had been quite a migration of Arkansas people to Florida. I soon discovered this to be true, for in a very few minutes we were stopped by a big traffic cop, whom I readily recognized as Jewell Johnson. It certainly thrilled me to see another classmate of mine, but the thrill was soon to wear out because of over-use. After dinner that evening we decided to go to see the great Shakespearean tragedy, Hamlet, and afterward to see some of the places of interest in Miami. On the way to the theatre I was astonished by the size of a giant electric sign which was suspended over the middle of Miami’s main thoroughfare. This sign proclaimed to the world that professor Eugene Agerton was now conducting a class on how to swim the English Channel. Jac exclaimed that professor Agerton and his assistants, Z. M. Clements and Ray Carter, are very successful in creating some champion channel swimmers. In his office force there are some of your old pupils that you might recall. Elizabeth Caldwell, Ninong Eisenkramer, Carrie Estes, and Janie Vick are stenographers; J. K. Eastham, Henry Dietrich and Voy Dean are bookkeepers; and in his scouting crew, who search for new prospects, are George Seawell, Henry Carter, Louis Hundley and Sterling McNulty. Faye Hartsell has become quite adept at blowing up waterwings for the would-be conquerors of the channel. I presume you wrould be interested in knowing some of his pupils that have been successful in swimming the channel; they are Amelia Myers, Mary Jane Nall. Mildred Bayliss, and Flora Goldweber. I was pleased to hear that professor Agerton has made such a success in his life’s work. We arrived at our box some minutes before the play started and from its superior position we had a very commanding view of the audience. Mrs. Austin pointed out to me several of her friends, most of whom were former students of Pine Bluff High School. There seemed Page 43 to be a party of them in the center section and with the aid of my opera glass I soon discerned Mr. and Mrs. George Ryland (Hallie Gertrude Oates), David Bluthenthal and his wife, Rosalyn Peeples (David is the owner of the largest haberdashery in the city) ; Mr. and Mrs. Leland Reeves (Dorothy Bess Sweatt) ; Mr. and Mrs. Parvin Waymack (Louise Stevens); and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Scott (Bessie Branch). At this time the curtain rose and we turned our attention to the stage and the players. The Dramatis Personae included: Hamlet, La Dell Du Rard; Polonius, Hershell Dowell; Claudius, William McLeod; Gertrude, Mary Mayben; Horatio, Howard Loosley; Ophelia, Christine Raines; Rosencrantz, Ross Helvie; and Guildenstern, Clayton Jones. La Dell has become very famous as a portrayer of Hamlet and I am told that his wife, Mildred McNew, deserves all the credit for his superb acting. I understand that she coached him especially for the part for several years before allowing him to appear on the stage. The play was most successful and the actors were appraised very highly. After the play we went to the very exclusive night club, The Stagger Inn, managed by Bob Bussell, who directs his own orchestra. In the orchestra I was surprised, yet glad, to see William Noel Atkinson, piano; Paul Allen, drums; Arthur Leath, violin; Carlton Harris and Joseph Bram, saxaphones; Ernest Machen, trumpet; and Henry Carver, bass. We were shown to a splendid table in full view of the entertainers by a head waiter whom I later recognized as Jack Hurley. I had no more than been seated when I was attracted by a commotion at a neighboring table; turning around, I saw Eleanor Overton, Evelyn Payne, Mildred Patterson, Margaret Pritchard. Mae Porter, and Eva Dell Reed. I wondered if this could be an old maid’s convention, but I soon found out that their husbands were out of the city and that they had taken this opportunity to see something of their former life. My attention was diverted from them by the approach of two cigarette girls in novel costume who were no other than Ethel Carnahan and Josephine Stewart. I was only too glad to help them by buying their cigarettes, but they soon hurried away as the program was starting. The first number was a snappy chorus of lovely femininity, among whom were some of my old school friends, Eva Warrington, Lucille Wilson, Virginia Winters, Fannie Vance, Margaret Thain, Montie Tucker, Martha Scheu, and Bessie Thomas. I was absolutely carried away by the feature number, an Argentine Tango delightfully danced by Billy McGehee and Serena Freeman. Their airy gracefulness was interrupted by the noisy entrance of three young men who seemed to be slightly under the weather. They staggered toward the dancers with arms wrapped about each other’s necks singing, “It won’t be long now.” One of them broke loose from the trio and made a dash for the fair Serena, but three burly waiters soon quelled the onrush. On hearing the shouts of the manager they turned in my direction and whom should I see but Ed Dupree, Hardy Kilgore, and John McLeod! Of course, it depressed me to see that my classmates had taken the wrong road in life, but Jac soon informed me that they were disappointed in love and were using this means of forgetting. Anna Moree Cleveland had forsaken Hardy, Bertha Moore had jilted Edwin, and John was grieving over Elizabeth Gannaway. Page 44 On leaving the night club I met my old friend Mahlon Williams. Mahlon had just arrived from Pine Bluff and he was able to tell me many interesting things about the high school and the city. Mac Core is now principal of the high school, and Jack Lawton is superintendent of the city schools. I was glad to hear that Mac and Jack are holding such high positions in the city school system. Teddy Jones and his wife, Stella Knauts, are now the athletic directors of the school. Under Teddy’s tutelage the football teams are making enviable records and still are winning state championships. Our new and long-desired stadium was completed last year at a total cost of $1,000,000. It has a seating capacity of 35,000 people, and it is equipped with all the modern conveniences. In the faculty are many students of the class of “27.” George B. Crump is head of the chemistry department and has created a sensation in the scientific world by his recent research work and discoveries. David Walt Fox is professor of Latin; Merle Dean, assistant Latin Instructor; Merle Chitwood, Professor of Spanish; Mary Wheeler, Instructor of Music; Louise Chester, head of the Journalism Department (Louise has made quite a name for herself as a journalist, and the Pine Cone now has the largest circulation of any school paper in the South); Herdis Greenwood, Instructor of Manual Arts; Louise Vance, Professor of English; Opal Wedgeworth, assistant English Instructor; Mabel Deviney, Professor of French; Catherine Shelton, Professor of History; George Anderson, head of the Commercial Department; Noelle Duncan, assistant Commercial Instructor (George and Noelle are seen together quite often, and it looks like wedding bells for them); Kathleen Conley, Professor of Biology; Arnetta Bennett, assistant Biology Instructor; and Werdna Dodds, Principal Core’s private secretary. Mahlon told me that Carson Howe is now mayor of the city and his proud wife is Elizabeth Triplett. Elizabeth is going to run for governor in the next election. John Thain and A. G. Russell are the fiery legislators from our county, and Helen Hankins and Annie Baker Ezell are the senators. J. C. Sauerbrum was recently arrested for bigamy by the famous reformer, Verla Mae Bailey. The woman in the scandal were: Lois Mead, Virginia Marshall, Jewell Roberts, Ellen Octavia Johnson, Elizabeth Lytle, Allarhea Grimes, Annie Lois Smith, and Julia Mae Thomasson. Helen Brewster and her partner, Dorothy Brewster, have recently built a large shoe factory in Pine Bluff, making exclusively the famous “Fairy Foot Shoe.” In the sales force there are found Elizabeth Everett, Morris Ray, Florine Bowker, Willie Case Reed, and Eugene Fairweather. We soon left Mahlon, and Mr. and Mrs. Austin took me to my hotel, as daylight was not far off; and I promised to see them next year when I returned to Miami. Well, I suppose I had better end this rambling letter and begin packing my trunk, for tomorrow I am leaving for South America on my seemingly fruitless search. If you have derived any pleasure from hearing of your senior class of 1927, I am more than repaid for my efforts at letter writing. Yours sincerely, Page 45 WARREN MEANS.

Inwardly we picture joyful scenes— Scenes we shall live over and over again forever; This one day we shall always remember. Meditative minds are thinking of the future; A pensive mood has grasped us all; And at this ending of our lighter days, Do we realize that work has just begun? So like a weaver at his loom, weaving—weaving. Are we at our loom, weaving—weaving; And notwithstanding this great likeness, What a greater task have we! The weaver’s patterns are soon forgot, While we are weaving—weaving lives, That must be ours for days to come. We have made a host of friends, and enemies— but few, And now our school days seem hallowed with a celestial air. It is thus we want to leave them, and thus to keep them In our hearts, as something there to accelerate our very beings. And this one thought we shall leave behind: That not only are we proud of our Alma Mater, But that, some day, she will be proud of her sons— Paste 60 —J. A. AUSTIN.

The members have taken part in all the activities and have brought honor to the school. Several of the outstanding athletes are members of this class. Entering the literary events, the Sophomores have made an unusual record. In last year’s preliminaries there were a number of contestants. This year the entrants were as follows: Girls’ voice, Catherine Deitrich; Elizabeth Thompson, second place. Boys’ voice, Jackson Watts. Declamation, Charles Simpson; Richard Elsberry, second place. Piano, Mary George, Stacy Wiley, and Clyde Wilson, winner of second place. The University of Arkansas sponsored a geometry contest which a number of the Sophomores entered and in which Ben Carter of the Sophomore class won second place. Page 60 The high school orchestra and band have a large percentage of Sophomore members. In the Senior high school assembly orchestra there are six Sophomores: Roy Reynolds, clarinet; R. G. Reid. John Kitchen, cornet; Kenneth Johnson, saxophone; Harry Daniels, drums; Clyde Wilson, piano. Last year, in a contest sponsored by the State Federation of Music Clubs, which was held at Hot Springs, Arkansas, Clyde Wilson won first place. As a result, in October. 1926, she was given a trip to Memphis to play before the Tri-State Federation of Music clubs. Scholarship, last, but not least, has been one of the good points of the class. For the seventh and eighth grades, Mary George was awarded the scholarship medal. In the ninth grade the same medal went to Clyde Wilson. Beverly Strange won the medal for the best English grades. The class seems to take an interest in all the school affairs and is on the road to being the best Senior class that has ever graduated from the high school. Patre 61 1 'i CAMPUS SCENES FRESHMAN BOYS Page 64 FRESHMAN GIRLS EIGHTH GRADE GIRLS Page 65 EIGHTH GRADE BOYS Pa ire f 6 SEVENTH GRADE GIRLS SEVENTH GRADE ROYS WARREN MEANS Student Manager Warren has the distinction of being the first student manager to be elected by popular vote. He has been faithful in his work and has ably fulfilled his duties by meeting the visiting teams and showing them through the city, issuing equipment, managing ticket sales, keeping football and basketball records and scores, and the like. Warren was assisted in his work by Jac Austin and Bill Carr. 1 COACH DUNAWAY Head Coach Coach Dunaway has this year accomplished the well-night impossible. After two years at Pine Bluff High School as assistant coach, he was called upon to fill the place left vacant by Coach Hammons’s removal to Ouachita College. So adequately and effectively has he performed the task to which he was called that we feel that we may continue our boast of having the best high school coach in the country. Through his untiring efforts the Zebras kept their name in sporting page headlines throughout the season and added one more ffate championship to their achievements. COACH ALLISON Assistant Coach Fresh from the gridiron himself, coming from the formidable State Teachers’ College eleven, Coach Peel Allison has, in his first year at Pine Bluff High School, proved himself an able assistant to Coach Dunaway. He has contributed much to the success of the Zebras this year, particularly in the development of the line. He has also given valuable assistance, in coaching basketball and track teams. Pane 68 R esume o fs eason At the end of another football season the Zebras again came out of the battle field with their heads high and the State championship banner flying over them. This is the second successive year that Pine Bluff High School has held the state championship and the team of last year passes on the torch of victory with hopes that the future teams will hold it high. The Zebras as usual ranked at the top of the list for having men on the all state team, Johnson, Levy, and Bennie Brannon having received berths on this mythical eleven. Duncan and Puddephatt were awarded places on the second team. Ryland wras placed on the third team. In eleven games played during the season the Zebras made 340 points against 28 for their opponents. Levy led the team in number of yards gained, having 574 yards to his credit, while Puddephatt ran a close second with 523, and Duncan was third with 404 yards. The total yardage for the season was 2,598, making an average of 259 yards each game. They carried the ball one and three-fourths miles during the season or 26 times the length of the field. The following men received sweaters: Bennie Brannon, Bill Puddephatt, Cotton Levy, Turp Johnson, Warren Duncan. Victor Hankins, Buster Brannon, Hartwell Shelton, Algernon Ryland, Craig Monk, Parvin Waymack, Teddy Jones, Charles Marr, William Perry, Raymond Vining, T. H. Pritchard, and Billy Siscoe. Under the unfaltering guidance of Coach Dunaway the Zebras have established another enviable record. Coach Dunaway had a big niche to fill when he took Coach Hammons’s place, but he stepped into the harness and performed his task beyond all expectations. Page 70 BENNIE BRANNON, Captain Tackle Captain Brannon stepped into the shoes of Frank McGibbony and soon proved his ability as leader of the boys. Bennie led the Zebras on to another state championship and was a great factor in Coach Dunaway’s success. Bennie was a hard fighter and a sure tackle, and the opposing team soon found him to be a ‘‘brick wall.” Brannon |was unanimously elected all state tackle. Captain Brannon's place will be hard to fill next year. l ♦ VIRGINIUS LEVY Fullback “Cotton” was all-state fullback and a man that could be depended on for a gain. Levy was high man this year in the number of yards gained, and he also backed up the line like a Spartan. Levy was right there when it came to running interference. Virginius will be a valuable man next year. WILLIAM PUDDEPHATT (Sub-captain) —Halfback Bill was right this year; when he was called upon he was always good for several yards. As usual Bill’s greatest asset was his educated toe. He was always good for a point after touchdown. Puddephatt’s broken field runs were not excelled by anyone in the state. Bill also ably assisted Brannon as captain of the team. Paste 71 SAVILLE JOHNSON End ‘•Turp’’ was fine in getting down under the punts and showed his ability to catch passes by snatching them out of the sky. Johnson was good at brdken field running after catching passes. Saville earned a place on the all-state mythical eleven by his ability to tackle the back on the opposing team and by his all around playing. Johnson will be back next year to captain the team. WARREN DUNCAN Quarterback Duncan got his chance this year and showed what he could do. Warren was a perfect general and ran the team like an old-timer. Also he thrilled the crowds with his broken field runs and his perfect passes. Duncan will be the main-stay next year. VICTOR HANKINS Tackle “Hank'’ showed his ability as football player when he made himself known in every play. His place will be hard to fill, since a weakness was shown when Hankins was out of the game. He will be a hard man to lose. Page 72 BUSTER BRANNON Halfback Throughout the season Buster’s playing was not only steady but was conspicuous, for his beautiful punts and brilliant runs. He was among the first in number of yards gained during the year and he is expected to be a great factor in next season’s team. Buster is just another Brannon and that speaks well for him. HARTWELL SHELTON End Shelton is a dependable man and whenever he got near enough a runner to get his hands on him, you could feel sure of a perfect tackle. He has determination, fight, ability; and these three combined to make up a real player. Shelton will be with us next year and we are depending on him. ALGERNON RYLAND Center Algernon played in several positions during the season and served well in each, but he feels most at home when playing at the center position. He is a hard fighter and will be a hard man to lose. Algernon has many talents, but his two main ones are playing football and charming the ladies. Paice 73 CRAIG MONK Guard After watching Craig play you can see that size and weight do not mean everything in playing football. This plucky little guard was one of the smallest men on the team, but he figures brilliantly in every play and the opposing backs soon find that they cannot make any gains over Craig. PARVIN WAYMACK Guard The men in the line are not always noticed as much as the backs, but Parvin shows up, not only because of his spectacular playing but also because of his good looks. Parvin graduates this year and his place will be a hard one to fill. TEDDY JONES Quarterback After several years of hard work Teddy finally gained weight and experience enough to earn a well deserved letter in football. He has developed into a wonderful quarterback and has earned the name of one of the best passers in the state. Teddy's field generalship and excellent headwork about knowing when and how to throw passes were some of the main factors of the Zebra’s heavy scoring. He is one of the few who will be lost to the team next year. Page 74 _ CHARLES MARR Guard In Charles we have not only quantity but also quality and he has proved an excellent player. As this was his first year on the squad, he can be counted on for brilliant work next season. When the dust clears away after a -‘line smash,” one of the first things you can see is Charle’s big, broad smile, by which you can recognize him anywhere. RAYMOND VINING Halfback Pine Bluff High School’s “Lord Chesterfield” is also a brilliant football player and fully fills the halfback position. When the linemen fail to open a hole, he makes it himself. Raymond can always be depended on to make the necessary gain for a first down or a touchdown, and we expect to see him carry away the laurels next season. BILL PERRY Halfback “Thunder, lightning, sunshine, rain —Skunk keeps fighting just the same.” He is one of those men who never give up. Whenever he was given the ball you could be sure of a few yards and in many cases a brilliant and spectacular run. Skunk will be with us next year. Pase 75 T. H. PRITCHARD Center The center position is a very appropriate one for T. H. because he is in the center of every play. His accuracy in passing the' ball ’to the backfield was an important factor in Pine Bluff’s success. T. H. is leaving us this year and will be greatly missed. BILLY SISCOE Fullback Though this was Billy's first year with the Zebras, he has shown his ability at carrying the ball and next year Billy will be one of our “mainstays.” He is fast and is a good broken field runner. Paue 76 FOOTBALL RESERVES Top Row:Thurman Daniels, Leroy Morwood, Billy Ross, Horace White, Fred Guest, Buster Poss. Gibson Clark; Bottom Row: Frederick Hilton, Stanley McNulty, Faye Hartsell, Jack Lawton (Captain), Pete Paschal, Ray Carter, David Talbot. These men have gone through the football season practically unnoticed ; but they have worked hard and deserve a great deal of credit, for they are the Zebras of next year and of several years to come. The Reserves received sweaters this year with the letter “R” on the front for they did not play in quite enough games to receive regular sweaters. This is a new custom started this year by Coach Dunaway. Judging from the above group we may fully expect another championship team for 1927. P« -e How tlie Zehras PI ayetl in Each Game ol 1926 The following stories of this season’s Pine Bluff high school grid games were clipped from files of The Commercial: Zebras 26; Jonesboro 0 September 18, 1926 The red and white of Pine Bluff high school was carried to victory in the first game of the 1926 football season when the Zebras, playing their first game under the tutelage of Coach Dunaway and with the eyes of Coach Foy Hammons, who tutored them to the national high school championship last year, upon them from the press box, defeated the fighting, plunging team of Jonesboro high school 26 to 0, in a game that was thrilling and full of excitement at every minute. The Zebras played today like the Zebras of past years, who have brought fame and glory to the local school, and like the Zebras of other years have promised still more fame and glory to Pine Bluff as the season progresses. Zebras 27; Searcy 0 September 25, 1926 The spectre from Searcy failed to halt Pine Bluff’s march toward another state championship today, and the Zebras with offense sharper and defense stiffer after 'another week of drill drove through the visitors’ line at will, blocked their most furious assaults, and emerged with another victory. Leading the attack today were Duncan and Perry, ably assisted by Buster Brannon, Levy, and Jones. It was the former, however, who brought the cheering stands to their feet with gain after gain, one good for almost 40 yards. Zebras 9; Chicago 13 October 2, 1926 Strategy, fight, power, and stamina were unable to overcome a first quarter lead gathered by Englewood of Chicago, and Pine Bluff high school lost a heart-rending, exciting, and nerve-wracking game today. The score was 13 to 9. It was the first defeat suffered by Pine Bluff in two seasons. After allowing the hard driving Chicago backs to rip through their line at will in the opening periods, the Zebras returned and in the last three quarters outplayed, outgeneraled, and completely outclassed Englewood in every department but the breaks. Pa e 78 Three times Pine Bluff worked the ball up to Chicago’s 10 yard line only to fumble. Zebras 62; Wildcats 3 October 9, 1926 Displaying speed, aggressiveness, and the ability to play real football at all times of the game, the Pine Bluff Zebras took a commanding lead over the North Little Rock Wildcats in their game today on the North Little Rock Booster field, the score standing at 62 to 3, in favor of Pine Bluff. The Zebras looked like the champions of last year as they piled up point after point over the North Little Rock team, and treated the packed stand to one of the prettiest exhibitions of football ever seen there. All of the Pine Bluff players looked like stars, and it is again certain that Pine Bluff will have a number of its Zebras on the all-state eleven this year. Zebras 27; Prescott 12 October 16, 1926 A concentrated line attack early in the game gave Pine Bluff high School a 27-12 win over Prescott high School here this afternoon. Both teams fought hard, but the Prescott team was unable to overcome the lead which the Zebras took at the start. Much time was called out by both teams as a result of heat and slight injuries. Zebras 68; Texarkana 0 October 21, 1926 Splashing and skidding in water and over ooze Pine Bluff high school’s scoring machine struck an impressive stride early in the second quarter of today’s game and tacked to and fro through the remainder of the game to defeat decisively the Texarkana Razorbaeks. The score was 68 to 0. Beginning with a blocked punt which was converted into a touchdown before the officials even had time to muddy their white suits Pine Bluff found the waters of Athletic Field all charted and ready for a smooth cruise toward a big score. Zebras 20; Camden 0 October 30, 1926 The Pine Bluff Zebras took a long stride down the road that leads to the state high school football championship of Arkansas when they met and overwhelmed the Camden high school team. Playing on a muddy field, considerably hampered by the mud and water and fighting an aggregation that was using every ounce of energy to knock the PaKe 79 Pine Bluff team out of the race for the state title, the Zebras piled up a 20 to 0 score. The smashing line attack, led by Puddephat, Duncan, and Buster Brannon ended in a touchdown within the first five minutes. Pudde-phatt added a point with a perfect kick. Zebras 7, Tigers 0 November 6. 1926 Little Rock, November 6—A galloping, charging, maddened Zebra hailing from Pine Bluff today ruled as king of the football jungles of Arkansas, having met the Little Rock Tiger in his lair, defeating the Tiger, challenger for high school football honors of the state 7 to 0, in one of the greatest football battles that has ever been played on an Arkansas gridiron. Before the greatest crowd of spectators ever assembled for an athletic contest in the state, the Zebras and Tigers played three periods without a score. Three times in those periods had the Zebras carried the ball down the field to the shadow- of the Little Rock Goal posts, and three times had the Little Rock line stood firm and turned back the invading foe. Zebras 7; Fordyce 0 November 11. 1926 Met by sturdy opposition and a powerful passing attack, Pine Bluff high school’s football team received a scare here and barely defeated the Redbugs 7 to 0. Puddephatt’s 36-yard broken field run early in the first period and his subsequent kick for goal were the features of the game. Zebras 14; El Dorado 0 November 20, 1926 Pine Bluff high school’s football team was well on its w-ay to another state championship here this afternoon when at the end of the first half of its title game with El Dorado’s challengers, it had scored two touchdowns and kicked both goals to lead to 14 to 0. That was also the final score. Duncan’s sensational 45-yard run, Levy’s line plunging and Puddephatt’s all-around play were features. Zebras 66; Houston 0 November 24, 1926 Speed, powed, and coordinated attack, assisted by perfect defense, gave the Pine Bluff Zebras a 66-0 victory in their farew-ell game of the season with Houston, Texas, here this afternoon. There w-ere no stars; Pine Bluff’s offense was based on team work in which the line worked as smoothly as the backs. The opening, period gave Pine Bluff a walk-away advantage, w-hich should be increased before the end of the game.

This lanky center was always in the midst of every play. He was out of the first few games of the season on account of a broken rib, but when he returned to the court he showed the true Zebra fight. Caperton will be back next year and we expect even more than he showed this season. SAVILLE JOHNSON (Captain) “Turp stepped right off the football field on to the basketball court and showed his usual form there. As captain of the team he had ample opportunity to exhibit his ability as a general. His pep and determination kept him in the limelight throughout the season, and his “never say die” spirit kept the team going when they were losing. Saville is at home in any position on the court. He was substituted several times at center and standing guard to good advantage. Next year he should easily make the All-State team. 9 I TEDDY JONES This was Teddy’s second year on the team and as usual he -showed up well in every game. We are sorry to lose Jones this year as his excellent playing will be needed next season. Teddy was strong on the defence, he was a sure shot, and his pass work was indispensable. He was high point man in almost every game and led the team in total number of points scored for the entire season. Teddy is known throughout the state, not only for his unusual athletic record, but also for his clean record as regards sportsmanship. Page 84 JAC AUSTIN Just when prospects for another championship team looked brightest, Jac Austin, probably the most valuable player on the team, broke his finger in practice and was unable to play for the remainder of the season. His passing and shooting ability were superb. Unfortunately for the team, he will be lost by graduation this year. ROSS HELVIE Ross just passed through the most successful season of his basketball career. He worked like a clock with the remainder of the team, and with his playing at standing guard our defense was greatly strengthened. Ross had that determination and fight which has always characterized the Zebras, and he will be a hard man to lose. BUSTER BRANNON Buster showed up well this year in view of the fact that this was his first year on the team as a regular. He was a man that could always be depended upon, as he was a sure shot and excellent on the defense. Brannon was in on every play with the old Zebra determination that he shows in every sport in which he participates. Buster will be a valuable man next season. Page 85 BILL CARR Coming up from the Junior team of last year. Bill won his place on the Senior squad and proved to be a dependable and valuable player. He played at both forward and standing guard positions and his quick actions were, in many cases, too much for his opponents. We are glad to say that Bill will be back next year. DONALD DRAKE It was on last year’s Junior team that Donald first won his laurels and developed the spirit of cooperation with his team-mates, which was the greatest factor in his success. He took Austin’s place at forward and was responsible for the Zebras' victory in several close games. He was good on the defense and will be a valuable man next year. ERNEST MACHEN Ernest was delayed in coming out this season on account of injuries received in football, but as soon as he was able he came out and made his place on the team. He displayed wonderful basketball ability, playing equally well as forward and as guard. Ernest was a good floor man and an excellent shot. His place will be hard to fill next year. Page 86 eason The basketball season did not run off as smoothly as the football season, for the Zebras lost several games during the season, and after winning the district tournament by defeating Redfield and Kings-land, they went to the state tournament and lost to Batesville in the second game of the tournament. Batesville then won the state championship. The team had to bear a great handicap when it lost its star guard, Raymond Vining, soon after the season opened. It suffered its greatest loss, however, when Jac Austin broke his finger in a practice game a few weeks before the district tournament. Jac’s floor work, passing, and shooting ability were all superb and the team missed his services greatly. On January 21st and 22nd Jonesboro came here and lost two fast games to the Zebras. The following week the team went there and won one game and lost one. The team took two games from North Little Rock Wildcats and won one game from and lost one to the Little Rock Tigers. The Zebras also beat Mc-Gehee and Dermott in fast and hard fought games, but lost to Warren, Crossett, and Hot Springs. The team this year did not reach the high standard set by former Zebras, but with the material we have for next year it is certain that the next Zebras will make an enviable record. Jones, Austin, Machen, and Helvie will be lost this year by graduation but Carr, Caperton, Johnson, Brannon, and Drake—all regulars—will be with the team next season. Pate 87 J unior Basketball Top Row: Coach Allison, Poss, Bowker, Hemmert, Williamson, Davis, Coach Dunaway; Bottom Row: Simpson, Caldwell (Capt.), Vinson. The Junior team did exceptionally well, considering the fact that only two of the players, Caldwell and Poss, were on last year’s team. The remainder were players who came out this year for the first time. The Juniors lost a number of games at the first of the season, but they soon developed their accuracy, floor work, and shooting, and turned the tables on their opponents by winning almost every game until the state tournament. The district tournament was played here and the Juniors showed rare form in defeating all their opponents. This entitled them to take part in the state tournament, in which they won two games and lost two. All the men, however, except Caldwell and Poss will be back next year and with the training and experience they have had this year, it seems that Pine Bluff will win the junior state championship in ’28. In the State tournament they were somewhat off and lost two hard fought games to North Little Rock and Batesville. They won two others in the tournament to make up for their poor showing. The Juniors had just the average team one could expect with new men. Caldwell was made captain of the second all-state team.

The Kiris showed unusual interest in their team and it was only through their untiring work that they accomplished a record of six victories and one defeat. Nancy McCain led in individual scoring. There were no stars. It was just a good team with every member working for one purpose. Under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Alexander, physical director and coach of Pine Bluff High School and former Zebraette star, the Zebraettes added honor to an already famous name. The season opened against McGehee High School January 14, the Zebraettes winning 39-13. The Zebraettes took the lead in the first period and held it throughout the entire game. The next game was played with Stuttgart High School at Stuttgart, February 4. This was an easy victory for the Zebraettes, the score being 64-4. McGehee High School was the next victim for the Pine Bluff girls. Although the score was 27-7, this was a very trying game as the court was small and the girls were off their usual shooting form. On February 11, the girls met their annual rival, Camden, usually the strongest team in the state. This year the Zebraettes won from them by a score of 61-38. Although the score would indicate that Camden had a very weak team, in reality it was one of the strongest, as their team work was unusually good. The Zebraettes played the Lakeside High School of Lake Village, February 25. This was the hardest game of the entire season and also the best. The game started with Pine Bluff leading; two minutes later Lakeside had the lead. Thus the game continued, first one in the lead, then the other. The score was 18-16 at the end of the first half. Both teams entered the game at the second half determined to win, and it was no one’s game until the final whistle blew, with Pine Bluff on the long end of the 29-27 score. The last game played was with Sparkman High School on Fordyce High School court, March 3. Sparkman took the lead in the early part of the game and defeated the Zebraettes by a score of 48-13. FIRST TEAM Forwards: Mildred Babcock, captain; Nancy McCain, Jeffie Jones. Centers: Irma Ewing, Jimmie Mosley. Side Center: Lucia Jack. Guards: Marion Farr, Stella Knauts, Illena Gray. Paire 90 TRACK With a team built of entirely new material. Coach Dunaway and Coach Allison promise to bring out a track team that will uphold the standards of Pine Bluff High School. The team this year is built around a nucleus of Carr, Babcock, Jones, Kersh, and McGehee, the only letter men left. However McLeod, McNulty, and Talbot are showing up well in the distance runs, while Jones and Babcock have proved that they can take care of the quarter mile dash. Carr, Benton, Brewster, and Siscoe are promising dash men. Dietrich, Babcock, and Pritchard are working hard in the field events, while Jones, Kilgore, Kersh, and Johnson are doing well in the hurdles. Bill Carr seems to be the “Iron Man” of the team. He is in all the dashes and jumps. Bridges, Johnson, Marr, Bram, and McGehee are taking care of the weights and are sure to win several points for the Zebras. On March 25th the Zebras defeated Dumas in a meet there 62 to 54. Other meets which have been scheduled are: April 2nd. El Dorado and Fordyce at Fordvce. April 9th. Little Rock at Conway. April 14th and 15th. District Meet—Here May 6th and 7th. State Meet—Arkadelphia. I’aice 92 I HE STUDENT COUNCII The student Council of Pine Bluff High School was organized in 1922. Its purpose is to secure gentlemanly conduct and thoughtful observance of school regulations on the part of the student body, and to promote harmonious relations between teachers and pupils and among the students themselves. It affords a medium through which the pupils of the school may participate in school government. The Student Council, through its judicial committee, at the suggestion of the principal, may investigate such offences as cheating, truancy, cutting class, being tardy continually, mutilating school property, gambling, smoking, and stealing, and recommend to the principal the punishment it deems wise to inflict. In all cases, however, the changes in government and recommendation of punishment, are left in the hands of the principal. To be elected as a member of the Student Council is a great honor. Members of the Student Council are expected by teachers and pupils to set the pace of good citizenship. Members of the Council have accepted this responsibility, and their influence in the class room and about the school premises has taken first place in moulding school sentiment and school spirit. President Jac Austin Vice President Warren Means Secretary and Treasurer Elizabeth Simmons Members of the Student Council are: Ethel Carnahan, Edwin Dupree, Merle Dean, Annie Baker Ezell, Elizabeth Gannaway, Teddy Jones, Hardy Kilgore, Mildred Patterson, William Puddephat, Nellie Rogers, George Ryland, John McLeod, Lawrence Blackwell, Jack Busick, Bill Carr, William Clark. Martha Jackman, George Lea, Nancy Belle McCain, Rosamond Norton, Anne Louise Wiley, Donald Drake, Mary George, Lester McClean, Joe Launch, Alice Orto, Rena Parker, Frank Williamson, Clyde Wilson. OFFICERS: Pave 94 THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Membership in the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools, carrying the idea of excellence in scholarship, character, leadership, and service is probably one of the highest honors that can be conferred upon a Senior in Pine Bluff High School. Election to membership takes place each year, only fifteen per cent of the members of the senior class being eligible The members are chosen from the upper fourth of the class by a committee composed of the principal and six teachers. To gain this coveted honor a student must have attended Pine Bluff High School for four semesters; he must stand high in scholarship; he must show evidences of leadership; he must show a willingness to serve the school in some way. either by representing the school in literary or athletic contests or by dependable help in library, home rooms, clubs, band, or wherever needed; and finally his conduct must at all times be above reproach. This society has been one of the most influential of the several honorary organizations on the campus, since the charter was granted to the Pine Bluff High School on November 1, 1922. Members of the National Honor Society for 1927 are: William Noel Atkinson, Kathleen Conley, George B. Crump, Merle Dean, Edwin Dupree, Elizabeth Gannaway, Louis Hundley, Teddy Jones, Hardy Kilgore, John McLeod, Warren Means, Bertha Moore, Mildred Patterson, A. G. Russell, Nellie Rogers, Elizabeth Simmons, Elizabeth Triplett, and Louise Vance. Pane 96 DEAN ROGERS MEANS CONLEY KILGORE CRUMP National Honor Society SIMMONS VANCE RUSSEL JONES HUNDLEY ATKINSON 6ANNAWAY THE ZEBRA The staff began its work this year with high ideals, some of which it has been able to realize, and some of which have fallen by the wayside. It is the hope of the staff that in the finished product you will find the portrayal of the happy school spirit and that you may live your golden school days even after the close of the year. One ideal that we have been able to realize this year is that the 1927 Zebra should be an altogether Arkansas production, and, so far as possible, a purely Pine Bluff production. Credit for the art work is due to Peerless Engraving Company of Little Rock, Ark., engravers for the annual, and particularly to Mr. Walter R. Haun of that company. The photographs are for the most part the work of the Alpha Studio, official Zebra photographers. Printing and binding are by a local firm, Adams Printing Company. All cartoons are by R. G. Reid, staff artist, who because of his outstanding ability holds the unique distinction of being the only sophomore ever chosen on the Zebra staff. The staff also wishes to acknowledge the assistance of Pat Knox and Lawrence Blackwell as Junior representatives, of Jac Austin and Warren Means in various respects, and of Helen Hankins in selling the largest number of annuals. It is to our advertisers, however, that the greatest credit is due, for it is they who have made possible the publication of the book. The staff takes this means of thanking them and urging that readers of the Zebra patronize Zebra advertisers.

Page 129 PINE BLUFF HI-Y-CLUB The first Young Men’s Christian Association composed of High School students, of which there is any record, was at Iola, Michigan, organized in 1870. This club included both boys and girls and existed only two or three years. In 1889, at Chapman, Kansas, among the boys of the County High School there was organized the first High School Young Men’s Christian Association that has had a continuous existence. This organization is now an affiliated Hi-Y Club and has done a constant piece of definite and vital work among students. Later, city Associations developed what were quite generally called “High School Boys’ Clubs.” The present national purpose of the Hi-Y movement was adopted in 1913 at the first General Assembly of Association Workers with Boys, held at Culver, Indiana. So far as is known, the first use of the name “Hi-Y Club” in connection with this movement, was used by the Cleveland, Ohio, West Side Association in 1914. The movement has grown until at the present time there are on record 3,264 Hi-Y Clubs in America, with a membership of more than 95,000. The Slogan: Clean Living Clean Speech Clean Athletics Clean Scholarship The Dynamic: Contagious Christian Character The Objectives: Health Betterment Mind Acquirement Soul Enrichment Service Achievement The Purpose: “To create, maintain and extend, throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character.” The local club has enjoyed one of the most successful years, having increased the membership to more than forty, largely due to the untiring efforts of the president, Ernest Machen.

Pane 135 PHILOSOPHY OF A CYNIC Little bits of wisdom gathered here and there. A man isn’t married more than a week until his wife seems just like one of the family. One can forgive people their virtues if their vices are attractive enough. There are two sides to every question—her side and the wrong side. It is better ot have loved and lost—much better. If a seedling is a young tree, what is an inkling? A large number of women will lie for love—of lying. The honeymoon is over when she wants a heater in the coupe to keep her warm. Most of the fire in a modern girl’s eye is quenched by the water on her brain. Man’s life—school tablets; aspirin tablets; stone tablets. What fools these mortals think other mortals be! She was only a miner’s daughter, but she was some gold-digger. “Stone walls do not a prison make, nor iron bars a cage,” but my gosh, how they can help! It is only natural for a girl to become highly incensed when one throws perfume on her. Some girls should wear speedometers instead of wrist watches. Strange as it may seem, it is usually the stern man who comes to the front. Love is the force that brings heaven to earth and raises hell. A stout matron is a lovely girl gone to waist. A thing of beauty is always a great expense. A man’s reputation is generally based on what isn’t found out about him. Love—the delusion that one woman differs from another. Page 136 PRIDE MAKES PROGRESS This year’s Pine Bluff High School Annual is the most beautiful that has been produced. It is larger and more expensive than many college annuals and with little doubt the largest and handsomest of any high school annual in the United States. The Zebra is a credit to the energy and industry of the staff and its sponsor, and we are proud of our ability to print such a book. The 1927 Zebra is the third we have printed. Twenty-five years of experience plus modern equipment plus pride in well-doing make the sum total of satisfaction to our customers. ADAMS PRINTING CO. Printers and Stationers 109 Main Street Telephone 473 Page 137 The man who cursed the day he was born is the original infant prodigy. She was only a millionaire’s daughter, but my goodness, isn’t that enough? If, my son, a woman values your caresses above a new dress, she loves you. A large majority of the girls aren’t as dumb as they look—they couldn’t be. Cynicism is the disguise of the well-bred humorist. No matter how straight a cross-eyed girl is, she is bound to look crooked. If you have the jack the queen is yours. If all the students of the high school were placed side by side at the dinner table, they would reach. When girls speak of love—oh, how they speak! Cats are really tale-bearers. Few women repent while they are still beautiful. Nobody is more cynical than the girl who has to go to a petting party with a cracked lip. Don’t venture into the sea of love unless you are a good swimmer. The failure is the man who sees himself as others see him. A woman’s cheeks are like a team of horses—one on each side of a waggin’ tongue. Some girls are homeless, but some are home less than others. Probably if the long skirt were back in style, the ads in the street car would be more valuable. Modern girls know that witchcraft does not exist, but most of them can raise the devil almost any time. Yardsticks used to be the principal part of the teacher’s equipment, but now it’s lipsticks. A girl is as strong as her weakest wink. Paite 138 CuTesT BoY-O.B. E3f5T DRESSED-WACMS Iaz esT 03 or Do Wo Fox t Most pplTTe-J. HcIeop )EE UHEM H. KILGORE T.

UFT OUTf 0 WHO 5 WHO ENTERTAINED The Who’s Who of the senior class were entertained with a delightful party given by Miss Elizabeth Simmons. The room was tastefully decorated with animal crackers placed at various points of vantage and calculated to give the guests who suddenly met one of them a thrill. The ladies were, without exception, dressed in be-o-o-tiful clothes, and with each arrival there was a miniature bedlam of admiring voices. At last the guests were assembled and the festivities began. Mr. Fox, as soon as he was comfortably settled, drifted into a state of blissful unconsciousness befitting his status in the roll. Mr. Atkinson and Miss Oates retired into opposite corners and made themselves heard not at all and seen as little as possible. Mr. Crump, true to form, made various and sundry remarks concerning all women in general and a few in particular. Miss Raines, as usual, retaliated with a scathing denunciation to the effect that the detested little conceited upstarts who, because they got elected the smartest in the senior class, thought they had a right to impose their alleged wit on the others. In fact, so heated was she that she went so far as to say that she detested ALL men, a declaration surprising from the perfect lips of such a flower of beauty. Mr. McLeod, with Chesterfieldian diplomacy, calmed the offended beauty, and all was serene once more. Someone suggested that they play bridge, whereupon Mr. Kilgore clapped his hands loudly and began singing, “London Bridge is falling down.” Mr. Tailoring For Men Who Care MEN AND YOUNG MEN READY TO WEAR LEADING BRANDS Society Brand Clothes, Bostonian Shoes E. and W.

Page 141 WHO’S WHO ENTERTAINED—Concluded Austin further increased his overwhelming popularity by playing the hero and thrusting a handkerchief down the joyful one’s throat. That reminded Mr. Dial, who was present, of a little story, at which all laughed politely. Miss Rives consented to exhibit her talent by playing a piano solo. It was perfect. She blew not a flat note, and her bowing was perfect. Mr. Atkinson, tho exceedingly bashful, finally consented to show his technique on the Jews’ harp. He played “0 Sole Mio,” and reduced his audience to tears—of mirth. Miss Caldwell gave him one of her soulful O-how-wonderful-you-are looks, and he retired to his corner in a blaze of crimson. Miss Sweatt told Mr. Ryland how wonderful it was that he was the handsomest boy. She asked him if he liked the appellation. He replied that he liked the Rockies much better. Then a mouse ran across the floor and Miss Knauts proved that she was undoubtedly the best girl athlete in the class. Ice cream and cake were served, and Mr. Fox awoke immediately, although he had slumbered through all other disturbances. Suddenly Miss Simmons emitted a shriek and jumping to her feet she executed a dance that, had she been attired in a grass skirt, wrould have made Gilda Gray green (note alliteration) with envy. It was marvellous, superb, great. It developed that Mr. Jones had, in speaking to her of his athletic prowess, accidentally (?) spilled his ice cream down her neck. Soon after the guests departed. One and all expressed the opinion that they had had a perfectly delightful time. Pine Bluff’s Original Department store where your grandparents traded with us 58 years ago.

Our school has plenty of them; why shouldn’t we boast of them? The following is a list of our famous romances with an explantory note by the editor after each one. TEDDY AND MARVIN This is by far the most famous and oldest of our romances. It seems headed inevitably toward the fatal conclusion of such romances— that stormy sea of trouble and misunderstanding, matrimony. JACK AND BETTY Although of comparatively recent origin this romance seems to be progressing rapidly to a state of chronic madness. ALGERNON AND ETHEL Both victims are in that blissful state usual to such lunacy. BOB AND LIZ Strong and healthy. HARDY AND MARGARET This one is far from idyllic. In fact, they seem more like a married couple than lovers. Their life is one quarrel and reconciliation after another. It is good practice at least. LA DELL AND DOROTHY La Dell has my sympathy. J. K. AND NINONG Progressing swiftly. He can spell her name perfectly now. DAVID W. FOX AND HIMSELF Here is a most ideal romance. D. W. can rest assured that he has no rivals, and in all respects his inamorata is most desirable. BILL AND DOROTHY BESS AND CLAYTON Ah! the eternal—or, rather, the infernal—triangle. It is doubtful whom the young lady in question favors, and speculation runs high. As yet there has been no tragedy connected with this triangle, but we are expecting violence soon. BUDGE AND ELIZABEH One of the many affairs of the popular Elizabeth. This romance of two prominent seniors seems very promising. SOLOMON AND ROSALYN This is a romance of long standing, and although Miss Roney has somewhat retarded it by giving such long Latin lessons, it promises to continue with great success.

BEAUTY CLAY (Being an interview with Miss Christine Raines reigning beauty of Pine Bluff High School.) In the study hall of Junius Jordan High School I found a lovely girl busily engaged in translating Virgil. In direct contract to the bustle and bluster of the disorderly study hall she presented a beautiful picture, with the sun glinting in her near-gold hair and her perfect Coty’s complexion. I stood awed in the presence of such loveliness and was tempted to fall on my knees and worship such a divinity. So this was the peerless Christine Raines, known far and wide, the girl of Graphic and Commercial Appeal fame. At last I recovered my speech and introduced myself as a special correspondent of the Zebra Razzberry, come to interview her. She gave me a dazzling smile that repaid me for my pains. I asked her to what she attributed her marvelous beauty. She replied that it was due to unlimited use of cosmetics, no exercise, and plenty of chocolates—a novel answer to say the least. “What is your favorite book?” I asked. “Virgil’s ‘Aeneid’,” she replied, pointing to the book she had been studying. This proved that her reputation for beauty and brains is well justified. “What do you think of Dido?” was my next question. “She was foolish. Why should she kill herself over one man when there are so many others?” That seemed to settle the question, but it suggested another. I asked her what she thought of men. She replied that men in general were all right, although they were rather boresome to a girl of her intelligence. That was that. “And what is your ambition?” I inquired. “Ah, I intend to be a faithful, loving, kind, obedient wife. When I find a man, I shall marry for love, never for mercenary reasons.” I was so overcome that I was on the point of going on my knees and offering my self as a candidate, but her next remark forestalled that. “But I shall never let myself love anything less that a millionaire,” she finished sweetly. I asked her if she was pleased when her pictures appeared in the papers. She blushed modestly and said that she had nothing to do with them, and that she didn’t care for such publicity. You may take that at its face value if you care to. When I casually asked her about the advertising rates for the Graphic and Commercial Appeal, she flew into such an unaccountable rage that I deemed it advisable to make my exit, treasuring the memory of that face, so lovely even in rage, forever in my heart. Page 146 SHE WHO WEARS KATZENSTEIN’S SLIPPERS Demonstrates Her good taste—her judgment of quality—and her sense of economy. SPECIAL FOOTWEAR FOR THE GRADUATES KATZENSTEIN SHOE COMPANY Hosiery to Correspond ESSAY ON WOMAN (Not by Alexander Pope) Woman, in her own opinion, is the better two-thirds of the human race. She is really human, although the young man in the ecstacy of his first love declares that she is divine, and the cynic contends that she is the accomplice of the gentleman of the caudal appendage—in other words, the devil’s own tool. From my personal observations and experiences I am overwhelmingly in favor of the latter definition. Woman spends the first twenty years of her life in acquiring a man, and the rest of it in getting rid of him or making his life miserable. And yet some men think that bliss awaits them at the altar. “Varium et mutabile semper femina.”—Virgil PALAIS ROYAL We have the reputation among students and their elders of having at all seasons the last word in ladies ready to wear and millinery.

Did you ever hear of such a nerve! Couldn’t even get near the classification card for hours, ’cause the Juniors and other dumbs were gathered around it, as if their schedules were as important as a Senior’s! October 1. Have been going through the agonies of Senior English. Gee. but Miss Heard sure makes it hot for the “sleepers” and other “seat-warmers” in her classes. October 5. Voted for Jac Austin for president of the Student Council because he is such a handsome lad and is popular with the ladies. Guess Virginia Lee will sit up and pay attention in assembly now that she has Jac to look at. October 7. Louise Chester was appointed editor-in-chief of the Pine Cone, so I hear. Methinks Carrie Estes would have made a much better one. October 8. Mr. Dial came to school this morning looking so wise that we all though he must have cut another wisdom tooth, but we learned through inquiry that Henry, Jr., arrived today. October 9. Took a little trip over to North Little Rock today to see the Zebras play the Cats. The Zebras won, as usual. October 16. Zebras had hard time defeating Prescott. October 23. Dairy, I certainly was tempted to go to that carnival today, but I heard Bill Pudde-phatt say the ball game with Texarkana was going to be a knock-out. Well, I went to the game, and to my sorrow no one got knocked out. Now, what would you call Bill? October 26. Well, the first Senior meeting was held this morning, and for a while I thought there was going to be bloodshed. But “All’s well that ends well.” So Hardy Kilgore was elected president. Teddy Jones was nominated, but Hardy’s winning ways with the fair sex won the election for him. Miss Roney announced the annual staff, and it’s beyond me why such an intelligent lady should choose such a conceited bunch to work with. P� Ke 158 1860 Established JOHN M. McCAIN 1927 JOHN H.

Instead of passing it around at Senior meeting, they gave it to their lady friends.

The grand court room of the city was thronged with thousands of curious people. It was the scandal of the age! Dido had brought suit against Aeneas for desertion! Amid the cheering of the crowd the beautiful Dido entered the room. She was pale and wan, and occasionally burst into tears. Aeneas, proud and haughty, walked down the aisle, the crown hissing. Judge Manes looked at him sternly over his glasses and demanded what he had to say for himself. Aeneas stood up and told a convincing story of a vision he had had. The judge, after looking at the tearful Dido, growled that Aeneas should abstain from Welsh rarebits and other indigestible foods. The jury sniffed. Then the judge rapped with his gavel and with honeyed accents asked Dido, poor deluded girl, to tell her story. He even descended from his dais to assist her to the witness stand. She gave him an “Oh, how-nice-you-are” look, and Aeneas’s case was lost. Dido began her pathetic story of how Aeneas had made her love him and then deserted her under the pretext of commands of the gods. She garnished the narrative with many imaginative details, as women will do, and in five minutes the judge and jury and whole courtroom were in tears. Achates, counsel for the defense, objected, but he was immediately overruled. When she had finished her story, Dido very ostentatiously fainted, creating a furore in the courtroom. The jury, with one accord, pronounced Aeneas guilty. The judge lectured him for an hour on his wrongdoings, and Aeneas promised to do better in the future. Amid the cheers of the crowd the judge awarded Dido a divorce and 1,000,000 obuli heart balm. Page 180 Not all Students at Pine Bluff High School wear our Clothes, but all of the best dressers do.

One man detached him from the group, And with a hollow laugh, Said “We belong in here, I think, For we’re the Zebra Staff.” Thereon St. Peter doubled up.

No. He has the greatest pleasure—giving for others to enjoy. ENCHANTMENT On the sands of an abandoned shore. The gentle lapping of the surf; The mystic swaying of the palms, Vague shadows cast on the snow-white sand, Quiet moving zephyrs blowing their warm breath on our faces, A soft blue moon casting its sheen on the rippling waters— A silvery path heavenwards. Solitude—contentment— Emotions kindled—desires known—dreams fulfilled; A retreat, a sanctuary for the soul. And then I whisper: “A book of verses beneath a bough— The lure of the moonlight and thou—” —JAC AUSTIN. Pase 197 Patre 198 Autoragplis Pajze 199
