Our High School was still young. and had never ha a very large graduating Class. but. as soon as this Freshman class' abilit and determination Were discovered. hope for a record-hreaking class in I912 was established in the hearts of all, and needless to say. no on ehas ever been disappointed in them The next year nearly all came back and studied hard to help gain afhliatiohs in the State University in several important branches of study. At the end of the year. all had gained their greatest desirehto he a Junior. Great things are always expected of the Juniors. and the Juniors of l9l0 and for support of the iRed and led on the ball field. or for music in the Glee Club. we were always ready and Willing to respond to the best of our ability. They enter tained the Seniors royalty and all were llpresent at the end of the year at the Grand Final etheC iass Day Banquet oft At last the dignified title ofQ eeniors lhas been bestowed upon us, and In our ranks are found such quantity and quality as has never befme been seen in a Senior Class of the P. A. . .; in fact, it is often quoted that, If you want a thing well done. leave it to the Seniors. An.d now that our connection with the dear old school is nearing its close. here 5 hoping that we will all always remember w1th pleasure the time When we were members R. D. of the SENIOR CLASS OF 19 20 LAURELLA BURNHAM. . . . . . Lal Secretary Senior Class. 'I I; Poet of Senior Class: Critic of H S L. 51; Glee Club. ssNothing to say, but much to think nf. Lal is a poet, a violinist and a siudenl of natural history. She can make friends with any shrympological biped in exist- ence. There is also something in the Junior Class that seems to have a liule attraction for her. Laurella has an idea that the teachers cherish malice toward her if they give her below 994x; in her studies. iiLal is fond of helping up one of her falling class- -mates, but the strange- ness of it is that she never gets her due thanks for it. HARRY WALKER PAUL ...... iiBalls Football Team; Tennis Club. How far that 11mg candle throws its neamsp' Harry has to his credit quite a bunch of avoirdupois; nevertheless, he has be- come very graceful since he began play- ing tennis. He thinks that his personal appearance would be incomplete if he wore anv other socks than those that con- tained either red or yellow. Harry's chief amusement in school. when not upupping of! some of his wisdom. is pulling the girls' hair and uplaying feet. in a rude manner. He is looked upon as a shark in Math. and will become either a lawyer. a doctor. or a minister. HAROLD ALTIN WINTER, i t'tDus Football Team; Baseball Team tCaptaint : Treasurer Senior Class. '12. 110 rarely prt. he never slept; His mouth he always open kept. Very popular member of the class- especially with the girls. Dus is an artist when it comes to talking; he knows the right words to say and the right time to Uspread it. He is another xenowned Latin student of the class; he always CU gets his lessons. and. in getting them. when he can't think of the Latin word he wants to use, he invents one. We think that he will revolutionize the world's idea about Lalin, if his Latinized knowledge becomes known universally. His smile and running are famous, and have won for him a membership in the HMidnight Crewt Dus intends to become a usawbones ;beware. people!

Her Latin is the only thing that has bothered her. but this year she is swiftly riding through on a pony. Faye is Uas merry as the day is long, She has a little sense of partiulily which she shows to one of the Juniors. SADIE RUBY CHADWELL ..... Sally Glee Club HAS bright as the stars. Sally is a very precocious child She has crammed four years' knowledge into three years, and still never seems to have any studying to do. The most remarkable thing about Sally is her astonishing dreams and nightmaresasuch as the little Latin puppy, Caesar 5 ghost. etc. Sadie is a star in all translations: in fact. she can read Latin so easily she never has to even look up the meaning of the words.-she has the gift of in- vention. KYLE Louis PAUL .......... Joco Football Team; Baseball Team. Tho sludvnt's and 11m drunknrd's 111m; is thin. loco is tall. has light hair. gray eyes and big feel: is popular with the feminine gender. who always give him a sweet smile and a sugar- coated ward. of course. smiles back like a dying calf in a snowstorm. He is a famous Latin student; he makes from 0 courses to 6 a year, but accomplishes the former most of the time. In addition to his other achievements. Jocu is a re- nowned sprinteriespecially famous for his nocturnal sprints. 23 MACK THEODORE 13LANDH.HVVCaryH Football Team iCaptaini: Baseball Team; Editor High School Record. ttA vision uf iorgmrulnem. uWeary is a stockyubuilt fellow; a slight blonde; has a marvelous physique. and is thought much of by the girls, who call him nMackie.n Theodore is. also. a great Latin student; how he gets his translations is a mystery to most of his class-mates. but VVeary'l does it. He is quite popular throughout the whole school. He had an office uf honor and distinction bestowed upon him, but. being so busy in his other work. he did not accept. uVVeairy is a full-Hedged mem- ber of the Midnight Crew. IRENE ELIZABETH LOHMANN.

Fond of an argument. out for a good time. yet a hrilliant member of the class. chool means much to Irene. and she has many friends. She stands for personal rights in the school. She is our hope of fame in the musical line. as her talents are very marked in that direction. Irene as never consented to tell anyone what her favorite study is. but. from observa- tion, one would think that she was fond of them all. She is very well known among the students for her sweet temper and her eternal patience. ROSABEL DICKINSON ........ 1.831161, Historian of Senior Class; Vice-Presi- dent P. A. H. S.

She is studying to be a teacher. and we all hope to see her teaching in the High School next year. and yet we pity the pupils if she does; as it has al- ways been our belief to think that a school teacher must hang her disposi- tion out in the rain. and lock her con- science up in her desk drawer. and we cant see how Belle is going to do this. LF. ROY GARTH ............ Putty Football Team. 'l l: Editor-in-Chief of High School Record. lo has 11 son and tunmh 11mm Inward 1m Putty is slrictly a ladies' man. His sell and gentle talk is often mistaken for that of another girl, when he is trying to w1n the heart of one of the gentler sex,- only we all know lhat two g1rls don't make love to each other. u Putty entered the High School in l9l0, with last years graduating class. but. finding that there Was a close attrao lien for him in the school. and consider- ing that he was still young. he decided that he would wait to graduate with the class of '12. He spends half of his time with our neighbors, the P. A, C. I., and Hirls with the girls there during that time and comes over to the H, S. the other hall and flirts with the High School girls. He is also taking lessons in courling. ETHEL MILBUR PEVOTo Pete Tennis Club; Glee Club: Class Prophet. I live m him who lives for me. Ethel is quite an authority on Vergil. It is a mystery how she gets her lessons so well. but we suspicion that her pony is a race horset Ethel has heard the still small voiceH of him who loves her whisper those tender Words of honey- coated love in her ear. The object of her affection. however, is no longer a High School member. since he took his degree of knowledge with the class of ,09. Ethel is a timid. bashful little girl. Who is very much afraid that she will say a word out of place. LILLIBEL HENDRICKSON . .t . Queenie Glee Club. l'Tlexlllly is u gift 0! God. Since beauty was given for a purpose. it should be used to accomplish this purv pose, but Queenie has never found any use of her gift yet. Lillibel is quite a competent musicianEpossessing such powers as to charm the savage beast. She promises to become a hnished product of the Port Arthur High. for. before the term was half over. she had made the required credits necessary for graduation. er mischievous spirit often leads her into trouble, but she is wise enough to get out of it without being condemned. 1213 ETHEL LATHAM ............. uTed Glee Club; President Tennis Club.

She 15 as merry as the day 15 long, for she always wears a smile on her facet even when she knows that she ls neck- deep 1n the worst kind of trouble. We expect to see Ethel a full-Hedged milliner before long, since she takes such an interest in trimming hats. Ted is an extremely precocious child; she is cramming into her golden little head four years work. where most people have a hard time getting three. . Ethel will always be. recognized by her extreme good looks and her bewitching smile. neither of which will ever wear off. GIPSIE EASLEY ............. uGyp Tennis Club; Glee Club. As wise and true as she is beautiful, If uSilence is golden. then Gyp has wealth enough to make any Wall Street millionaire blush for shame. Cyp is a meek-eyed. mild-mannered little girl. noted for her objection to be brought into the limelight of publicity. However, she is constantly being brought to the front by her excellently prepared lessons. Next to home. school is the best place for this little Gipsie girl.

She has been chosen by the class to represent them on several occasions. and has always done herself and the class credit. She is also famous for her vocal ability. as her voice always fills the human soul with pathos. SYLVAN BLUM HAYNEsm .

We began our year's work with a large enrollment. and with many difficulties to face. The prospects of the coming year were bright and wholesome. and our class looked forward with eagerness. Mr. Walley was our room teacher, and under him we began work in earnest. but our bright hopes were jarred by Mr. Walley's resigna- tion We swallowed our disappointments. however, and, having high ideals. we kept up our work, Which has won for us the everlasting love of the Faculty. At the beginning of the term we had twenty members. but we have added to our number since then. We are well represented in football, baseball. marbles. tennis. tops. Glee Clubs, all fusses that arise; in fact, everything that a Freshman should take interest in. We indulge in manual training, domestic science.

The num er of graduates picked up again in 19H. and it seems as if the growth of the graduating classes will now keep up with the growth of the school, for with nine grad- uates last year, and twice that number this year. the school has a pretty good record to its name. In he earlier part of the year I907 the High School department. including the seventh and eighth grades. moved from the Webster Building into the back part of the 47 High School building. In the following year still another move was carried out, this time to the second floor of the budding, where they resided for three years, and by the end ol that time they were forced to move to the third floor. by the incoming grades; and there they are likely to stay unless the laboratory is moved out on the roof and the fourth floor be assignedt em. anual training was first introduced into the school in 1905 by Superintendent Mofiett who taught the course himsel. 11 an 907 there was no manual train- ing on account of the lack of room, but it was started again in 1908 with redoubled energy, and was only stopped on account of trouble over the teachers.

As at as is known. baseball can be dated back to the beginning of the school. but it was not until 1908 that enough interest was taken 48 in the game to play other schools. A beautiful cup was offered by the Evening News as a trophy for the baseball championship between Beaumont. Orange and Port Arthur. The first year of the series, Port Arthur lost only one game. and the second year she won every one of them. and took the cup with an easy two years of victorious playing. Foo tball was started in the years 1907 and I908. but no successful team could be organized until I9 9, on account of the lack of familiarity of the boys with the game. In I9 a winning team was organized .3111deth Arthur swept all comers before her, as a broom sweeps dust, no games being lost during the whole season. n an- other good team was organized, but the players were light and could not possibly hold out against their heavier opponents. Againn 1n I91 .1 cod team was organized but the same fault of the year before was foundithe team Was too light. But light or not. the boys did fme. and held Beaumont. a team which outweighed us at least ten pounds, down to nothing to nothing in the second game With her. . s the season advanced. the boys gained confidence, and on Thanksgiving Day they went to Orange and put it over their heavy team to thet tune of 6 to 0 Basketball and tennis entered the school only as minor games being in ndulged 1n by the boys when nothing else could be fou nd to do.

Until that time mes. som e0 he must save the facts from being lost. In a social way. in the matter of athletics. in the facts about the Classes and teachers.

Right Tackle Weary UVVearV, the Captain of the team this year. has played on the school team since its organization. and will close his career this year with a nice little rep. attached to his name. Bland has heretofore been the star center of our team, but was shifted to tackle this year. where his abilities were brought out as they never were before. He can justly be praised for his excellent work, both offensive and defensive. Weary is also a good baseball player, and his numerous star plays at second base often bring forth great applause. It is certain that he Will be missed next year in both studies and athletics. FOSTER CHAMBERS ...................... Left Guard Foster played left guard during the latter part of the sea- son. In the games that he played he showed that he was the man on the job. and there could be no kick whatever made about the way he played, since he always did the right thing at the right time. or. in other words. he was right there with the goods He stands a pretty good chance of making the baseball team this season, as he plays this game with as much interest as he does football. HAROLD A. WINTER ................ Right Half Back Dus Dus has been one of the teamls best players ever since its organization, six years ago. llDus' place was in the back held, when: his abilities were shown to the best advan- tage. He is a steady playerwne who inspires conhclence in his team mates, and who will advance the ball to the required distance. if it is in the power at humankind. Too much can not be said of his offensive and defensive work; ask Orange. she knows. llDus is also a star baseball playergcatcher and captain this year. In former years he has shown much style and head-wurk in his playing His graduation will be a severe loss to the school. HJocko Hlocket. field KYLE PAUL. .i .................... Left Half Back uJockm has been With us in most everything since we have had athletics. He is a swift man in the game when it comes to running; therefore. he has been of considerable assistance at half on the team this season The society guy. called by the young ladies, is also good in baseball. expected to either cover third or protect one of the outfields. being last on his feet. is well equipped for an out- LE Roy GARTH ........................ Right Guard Purty Some of the boys call him nPurty.H but just the same it is known by all that he is not afraid of any skirmishes in foot- ball matting his beauty, as he has been one of the hardest workers on the team. He has stopped some awful rushes through the right side of the line. and many of our ground- gaining rushes have been made through him. OTIS DICKINSON ......................... Full Back Blondie. Square Blondie graduated last year, but came back to take manual training this year. With a lot of pleading. we pere suaded Blondie to he with us in athletics as well as in the shop for one more year. HSquare filled the bill as full back on the football team. His kicking pulled the team out of many bad places. and. when there was any chance of breaking through the enemy's line. Blondie got through His work on the defensive was praiseworthy We hope to have uSquare with us in baseball this year; if he consents, he will eithei play First or shortstop, since he plays both places with much up GU S. BLuM HAYNES .......... Gov'nor ....... Quarter Back iiCovinor has played With the team for two years. his Hrs! year being marked with great fame at right end. This year he has held down the position as quarter back. and his generalship and head-work have pulled the team out of many difficulties. One of the principal temptations to popular young men had no effect on him; he is very modest and has a very reasonable opinion of himself. which is to be commended. He promises well for the baseball team. and, if things continue as they have started, he will very probably pitch. Sweaty has shown himself to be quite swift TYRRELL GARTH ......................... Left End This is Sweety's second year with us. the position of lefl end on the football team two seasons. and and has the grit. Any school should be proud of such a player. Although a little light. he uses what weight he has to a good effect, especially on the defensive. .. RbTAN ........................... Suh OLNEY CHANDLER .......................... Center Giggle A sub of last year. but showing that he was in the game for all he was worth. he became a regular this year. In the first part of the season he played right tackle. but, on being given a chance at center, he proved to be more effectual there. This shift turned out to be better for the team. Having played on the baseball team last year, Chandler looks forward to securing a position this year. Red. Bub HRed. our d'ashing strawberry blonde, Is small but there with the goods.n His grit in the games he played 1n won for him the admiration of all the student body present. If he could only have been a few pounds heavier. he would have been among the best on the team. His lack of weight pre- vented his becoming a regular. He never kicked. but was willing to be of any assistance possible to his team. Bub is hoping to make good on the baseball team this season, and will surely. at least. be a leader on the sub list. HARRY PAUL .................. , ......... Right End Balls Harry is a very sturdy youngster. and has shown that he has some manhood about him in the way that he goes after his opponent. He did great work on the defensive, and his work on the right and deserves commendation. Everyone is looking forward to Harry making good as an outfielder on this season's baseball team. BRYANT MEAUX ........................ Left Tackle HBig Boy Our star tackle. who never has learned what defeat means and wonders if it is connected in any way to the Latin beam, left us before the football season was over. but while he was here he did some remarkably hne playing; breaking through the enemy's line was his specialty, and, when he would get hold of the man who had the ball. it was ngoodnight, George. He saved the game at home against Beaumont by doing this. JOHN H. BRIGHT ......................... Manager Although it is his first year as manager of the team. he has shown that he is capablei Mr. Bright. being a true sports- man. has handled the boys in such a way that it has won for him lhe good will at all the members of the team.

He wants the house work neatly done, even if his wife can not figure interest or extract cube mot. To meet this great need. the State Department of Education gave the girls of the Port Arthur High School a chance to learn Domestic Arts The courses in this department as offered the past year embrace elementary needle work and cooking.

Quickly removing his helmet, she found that he still lived. and, in the fresh air. he soon recovered consciousness.

It was incorporated in 1898, and. according to the United States census. taken in 19l0, it had a population of 7663; the estimated population taken from our last clty directory is 10.7i8. The first ocean-going tessel entered the Port Arthur harbor in 1899. Previous to 1907. we were a subport to Galveston. but early in that year were made an inde- pendent custom district tunder the name of Sabine Districtt. so that the figures given by this port date only from 1907. There are eighty seaports in the United States. Port Arthur. while so very young. ranks as the twelfth in foreign commerce. In the last three years the per cent of increase over the year 1908 of the twelve leading districts of the United States are as follows: New York district, 18 per cent; New Orleans district. '8 per cent; Cal- veston district, 34 per cent: Boston district, not given; Philadelphia districl. not given: Baltimore district. not given; San Francisco district. 24 per cent; Savannah district, Zl per cent; Puget Sound district, l5 per cent; Mobile district, 5 per cent; Wilmington district. 3 per cent; Sabine districtt 86 per cent. The number of vessels owned at any one place is always an element of its importance. although in itself does not necessarily indicate greatness. This district stands eleventh in place among the ports at the United States in ownership of vessels. 110 VIEW ON LAKESHORE DRIVE Port Arthur has two large oil rehnerieSethe Texas Company and the Gulf Re- fining Company. Originally. they drew their crude oil from Spindletop. Texas, twenty miles distant; then added Sour Lake. some miles farther away. But, since these fields are not producing as they used to, pipe lines run to Oklahoma, North Texas. Northern Louisiana: and today Port Arthur refineries receive by far the largest part of their crude oil from these Iemoie regions. The two refineries of Port Arthur have spent millions of dollars on extensions and enlargements of their plants; the exact figures can not be obtained for publication, but the extensions are seen by all men. and are a matter of common knowledge. Their payroll combined with the payroll of the city is over $200.- 000 a month. This payroll goes on every month of the yearewinter and summer. They ship from this port over a million gallons of oil per day. or five hundred million gallons a year. The late John W. Gates made Port Arthur his winter home. During his life time. he donated to the city a hospital that is second to none in the South. He also built a model dairy that is considered one of the finest in the South. Through popular subscription, the citizens are now constructing a pleasure pier costing $I60,000. The pier extends into the lake H300 feet, at the end of which is a pleasure island 600 feet square The construction is of wood and reinforced con- crete. filled in with earth It is planned to make this pleasure pier a small Coney Island. which will not be surpassed by anything of its kind in the South. The city is now improving the park system. One park alone has hfty-six acres of ground, and extends from the business portion of the city along the lake and canal front for nearly 9000 feet. in STEAMER LOADING LUMBER In looking over Port Arthur. for the past year one finds a long list of improve- ments, and which, while to some extent run over into I912, yet furnishes a demonstrae tion of this city when applied to constructive work. Of these. the Federal building furnishes the greatest individual cost. $125,000. and, while started in 191 1. yet will run a few months into 1912 for completion. It will house the custom house depart- ment. the postofhce and the immigration office. Other buildings and their cost are: Elks' home. $35,000; public school building, $25,000; Peter Stock building. $12,- 000; Lambert building. $12,000: Drunagel building. $8000; Habei' building, $10,- 000; Schue building. $8000; Tyrell Theater building. $32,000; Garth building. $3000; Noack building, $3500; Dalberg building. $2500. To these buildings of a public and semi-public nature must be added the buildings in the resident districts and which, while showing a lesser individual cost. yet in the aggregate will foot up a show- ing in perfect alignment with the construction of mercantile and othce buildings. The most important of these works and one which is being finished up in the early months of l9l2 is the concrete docks. and the dredging of a new twentyvsix-foot chan- nel by the Gulf Refining Company. costing a sum of approximately $400,000. which has been constructed by this company in a little over a single year; but. when one in- cludes in that figure the cost of dredging a new waterway partly through a prairie. the cost of concrete docks of a length of over 1000 feet, the cost of moving a county bridge and of shelling a long stretch of county road for the privilege of moving the bridge. plus all the incidentals leading up to and overlapping the main work. one can easily understand how a sum of this size can be placed inside little more than a year's work. At the docks. the Kansas City Southern has recently begun construction of Ware- houses, to cost in the neighborhood of $20.000. This is in addition to the large lum- ber and cotton warehouses. which is within a few feet of being a half mile in length. 112 The visitor in viewing the docks is always struck with the thought that, as large as they are, they are crowded for mom, and it is well known in railroad circles that the Kansas City Southern Railroad has at all times as much as their present equipment can possibly lake care of in handling the exports and imports through Port Arthurt Port Arthur is one of the few up-tmdale cities of the United States which has inslalled the commission form of government. which is composed of three commissioners. one of which is appointed by the two for mayor. We have a well-organized fire and police department. A city sanitary board composed of seven of the leading physi- cians; they have in lum divided the city into sections, each physician looking after the health and sanitary conditions of his particular section.
