SIMS SUPERINTENDENT PORT ARTHUR PUBL1C SCHOOLS The High School Alumni Eh lGll schools as a rule have u very poorly organized alumni, if indeed the gradv Hates are organized at alli This is probably due to the fact that there is less school spirit in the high schools than there is in the colleges and therefore less among the graduates. Port Arthur is one of the few. While the alumni association is ' we be a an i 's h at present rathvr loosely organized, the first steps h that with the increase of membership the interest will be more keenl As is the ease in all organizations, there iu-e those who are interested and those who will not have a pint in the work, but it is hoped that each year a few of those rare individuals who care for such things will be added until the Alumni Association of the Port Arthur High School will be u force in the affairs of the school if not of the community: The field for useful work is large for graduates of a school if they will but heed the oppor- tunities. This is especially true in the ease of small schools, which, unfortunately, have the wind: alumni associations. The day of the public schools is now near. With the increase of the practical instillation which enables the pupil to more nearly choose his work the high school ill nu-tln more to its graduates The fact that the knowledge acquired in the pix blie schools is so largely preparatory to the practical instruction to be gained in the colleges robs the high sehoo l of mu eh ot' the credit which is justly due it If the suc- f'ul man or woman could look back to his or her hig school and see that it was there that he found the particular line of endeavor for which he was fitted, even though he gained most of his training in the colleges, he would feel much more inter- ested in its welfare and would he a patriotic alumnus. So it is to be expected that as the schools broaden in their scope of training, the alumni Will he more e10 ely organized; and when that time comes the larger era for the school and its students and graduates will be here At the present time the Port Arthur High School alumni number about one hundred In the spring 1913 the graduates met in the auditorium of the high school and elected officers and made arrangements for perfecting the organization There were .Ihout forty present at that meeting. It is probable that another meeting will be held this spiing before the annual banquet for the purpose of getting all the members possible to at end. The interest for the time being is largely resting on the graduating class of each year, as they represent the majorit 0f the alumni in the city. Still, after this next meeting it is hoped that the entire membership will take an active part in the affairs of the association. '35 The Seagull Offlce '53 0h lifflo room!

We have for three years been the wonder of the school, and will leave next year as graduates with the most illustrious record of all classesl Nor is the reason for this continued fume hard to find. It lies in the fact that loyalty has from the first been our watchword. We have been loyal to our suhuol, to our teachers, and above all to ourselves: It has been this adhesive quality that has enabled us to hold our own and so get the better of the Seniors throughout the whole year. our ranks we have seven star athletes who have made the whole school realize that were we taken from among them, great would be the loss. Especially this year have we done thingsl Our class organization, the HJunior Improvement Society, has done wonders for the schooll The flag, the flowers, the bulletin board, and book cases and the pictures in the study hall bear witness to our energy. Our report cards, too, testify that we have not neglected our studies in thus beautifying our surroundingai When our work has been done we have enjoyed many social gatherings. What more can :1 class desire than excellence in class spirit, in studies, and in athletics? If we keep this up next year as we have this, we shall come, to our com- mencement with pride in an almost perfect record. R.

Since personal appear- ance is usually the first thing commented upon, it may be said here that this class nut ranks all Other in tlgoodrlookers, Especially among the girls. Our class has contributed its share to the athletic glory of the past yt-ur. During the football season we put out five Fish tmote than any other class euntributvdi that made the team: In the in nterelass football game the Fish won from the Junior and Senior classes. When the baske tball season opened we sent in Penturd Snndefur, one of the fastest and best men on the team: All that know HPin know what he did and what he can do.

The E teams representing Port Arthur High School have been consistent winners in eiery department. This result has been most gratifying to all interested in various sports To produve u winner is the great ambition of the athletic coach. To be :1 winner and a star in his event is the fondost dream of the young high school athlete. Port Arthur High thoul has enjoyed the realization of many victories won, she has produced her stars of the first magnitude This in itself would seem to be sufficient rumpensutiun for the time, effort, and money involved. Yet the full value of athletics in this high school and the suocesses attained must be measured in other terms than in thx- nnmber of victories won. Throughout the year a large number of the boys in High Svhool have been in athletic training. This means that this same number of students have spent their leisure, time in the development of strong, healthful bodiesi In the mastery of the games in which they have been coached they have received a mental ipline which is not excelled by any single course in High School, They appreciate perhaps more than any other class of individuals the importance of team work The athlete knows the value of discipline, he does not resent it but in the spirit of the true sportsman he accepts the hard knocks which always come with the hard grind of training, he receives his rebukes without a murmur and like the soldier he soon learns to fight to the last minute even with all odds against him and in the face of almost certain defeat to go on and fight out a vietory. The athlete knows what is meant by fair pluy-he stands for a square deall What better training could a man haw, to fit him for the life of competition which he must face when he enters the world of business. It is hoped that the time is near at hand when every boy in high school will be engaged in some form of supervised athleticsl The major sports during the year 191415 have been football, basketball for girls and buys, baseball, truuk, nnd tennis. Early in the fall the prospects in foot- ball were most gloomyl The strong team of last year began to be broken up as 11 result of graduation. Other causes thinned the, ranks still further until but two vetr emns remained. Furthermore the men who reported for practice were exceptionally light. The task of constructing a new team of untried men which would be capable of putting up u creditable game against such heavy teams as Beaumont was a dit't'ie cult one, Lots of grit, determination and hard work did the trick. Thu season which consisted of eight games was closed without a single defeat charged against Port Arthur. Basketball opened with even more dreary prospects than wvru mummtm-od football. in During that time we had at least been blessed with good wenthcrt before Thanksgiving it began to rain. Until after A week Christmas the basketball onm'ts were either muddy or entirely flouded. No indoor court could be smcuwd, Thus it was that after the basketrball season should have been well under way tlw practice only begunt was Again a new team had to bc- fm'med and again the Port Arthur spirit responded and :1 Very creditable team was produccdifour victories and two dufcnts was the record for the boys. The girls' team of 191344 had better success in homing their team of the season before, Hourly all members reportod Mr practice The- sume weather conditions which upset tho work of the boys proved a handicap for the girls but a record of three games won, one tie and one defeat was very satisfactory. In baseball the record made was four games won and two last. g 3'5 The Season w South Park at Port Arthur, October 10, 1914 LTHOI'GH 11111101111101! 111 almostuixeri'n1105111011 the Port Arthu ur High School 11111111113011 1111' 3011111 Park L'lw' by :1 scm'u 0F 11 100 The score is hz'lyud :111 11111111111111 of 1111' 1'el21ti11- 1111114111: aboility of Chef two tcz1ms.Thehome boys dis- 111111 111111 1111111111 11111 311111111111 10 11111 $011111 1'111-11 dolegnt 1111. llum mmm 11 .11 .111, 111111 '11.1cks, 111111 1111111111. 11111 1111111y 11111: 111 111m opponems 1:11 901111111111 gums.

It is almost impossible to get around Arthur's end. Arthur was the hero of that memorable Beaumont game as it was he who made the only touchdown that was made that day after covering a good distance He is one of the hardest tacklers on the team. He is noted for his ability to run down punts and drop the one receiving the ball on the spot. FRAN K ROBERSON Left Guard HBeauy is the brick wall of the team. If an op ponent ever happens m.get through him, it will be after some hard fighting. He has never been known to give up and has never been hurt hndy enough to have to leave the game. He is equally as good on the otfensfve as the defensive. When in a pinch ground can always be depended on through Frnnk's opening. CLEO DOWELL' Left Tackle HChief is another hard tackler. He is nlert, active, and strong on the offensive, and never fails to get through the enemiesi line and down the ball. When the Whistle is blown for the commencement of the game all save the plays are forgotten by Cleo, for he goes into the game with his heart set upon winning, not through spectacular plays but through team work VANCE PEVETO Right Em! HPit is another second team man from last yeai. but he showed his ability to hold down the position of right end on the first team. He plays a steady gnme and is always at his best. There are few faster men on the term than he. He has the necessary grit and is a splendid tnekler. When it comes to breaking interference, Vance is right there. JOHN BESHARA Right Guard UHemhbreaker as he is called, tried football for the first time this year and is not afraid of marring his features by getting into the skirmishes. Many of the desperate rushes of the opponents were checked by John. Some of the most critical gains were made through John's opening. He can always be depended on to do his work. MAXCINE JAPOUR Right Tackle t'Mox after a vacation of one year came back to our midst and immediately reported for football practice. He is the big man of the team. He is a hard tackler. If ever a person goes into a game to win glory for the school, it certainly is Maxcinet Whenever he thinks it convenient, Maxcine can play possum and get time for the team He has two more years before him in which to win additional glory for the Port Arthur High School, lRlE PEVETO Center Irie took the position of center this year just as if he had been brought up to the place. His accuracy in passing the ball is superb. He possesses the very. best of headwork and presence of mind. He is the pivot around which the Whole team moves. He is in the game for all he is worth and never shirks the duty placed upon him We are expecting still more wonderful work of him next year although this seems almost impossible. PENTARD SANDEFUR Quarterback HPin'y is the best quarter back in Port Arthur, Orange, Beaumont, or South Park. The only reason that Quinn of Houston received the selection for Southeast Texas Eleven was that he had more experience in that place than Pin had. If HPin keeps up his good work next year he will receive the selection as he has every thing that a good quarterback needs. He is the hardest taekler on the team. His generalship has pulled the team out of many difficulties. His dodging has astonished man grandstands and when he sets his heart on doing a thing he'll do it or perish in the attempt. RAY JORDAN Right Half HChicken or HMr. JordanH us he is called, made the largest number of touchdowns for the team this year. He is very swift of foot and uses his brains constantly. He has the habit of diving over his opponent and leaving the would be tnekler in bewilderment us to his whereabouts. His opponents were afraid of him. The way he gets the pig skin and keeps it bids fair to his being a great University star as Well as a High School star. When it comes to running interference he can not be beat. RA YMOND PLUM MER Loft IIan' HCount Zithiffll is admired for his grit and pluck. Hr inspires confidence to his fellow tmm mates and will carry tho ball the required distnncot 110 has the Championship of the Southeast Texas in that ho kiukcd two touuhduwus 1H kickoff, Lawler covering it the first time and Szmdofux' the sworn! time.

Th t game of the season was with South Park on the home grounds. The HSK'HEHHSHI succeeded in taking ten hits from the visiting pitcher, while Thomas, the famous HSeagull pitcher gave the Visitors seven, but he was particular about keep: ing them scattered so that they didnit amount to much in the en .

A fev hat words are exchanged before the teacher Nikos command. A number are contentedly chewing gum. The teacher makes her appearance. Her trained eye notes everything :it once Without comment she picks up the waste basket and moves down the aisle. As she stops in front of first one and then smother whose jaws are working over timeY they make a deposit of the variousVsized wads, and she carries the receptacle back to its first: resting place. Then she, calmly remarks. HI'm afraid that waste basket will be stuck up Now she has some announcements to make concerning source reading. As she finishes a detailed explanation that the students may, by reading books selei-ted from u list of sixty which she hns chosen, add credits to their standing for the month, :1 boy shouts from the back of the room in a terror-strieken voice, UDo we have to read all them books? The teacher turns a pair of twinkling gray eyes in his direction and in tones of melting sweetness replies, HNo, Henry, you remember thereis just one enthing I said yould have to do, and that is die.H The boy subsides amid general amusem w the recitation proper begins. Not so many quest ions are asked, but the im- portant facts are carefully grouped together and drilled into the reluctant brains of the pupils, until even the dullest often stumbles upon unexpected ideas moving round in his head like rats in an unusedg re Then suddenly the teacher begins telling u story of love or adventure not found each other. She becomes totally obilivious of her surroundings and speaks as one in a drenmi Her listeners sit silent, fascinated. All at once the class room door opens mud in walks a member of another class. She glances at him questioningly, then ignores him. The story is not yet complete, and no one has heard the signal for class dismissal. Two more students enter. She looks around impatiently and remarks, HClose the door, John, then resumes the narration. But now the rest of the class come in. The pupils in the room rise in their seats and prepare to leave. And then if you are watching yuu see a slight. tremor pass over her. She draws a long breath, like one waking from sleep.

Just a minute before the game was again called Bob came bzmk to us.

Mash down on 'em HA RD! Come on We went into that last half, new men. I felt ready to tackle the wholu thing alone. And how we played! Our left fon'zu'd was a little fellow, but he could bound like a rubber ball. When the ball came his way he wuuld spring into the air, snatch it just before it reached his baffled zIdvorsury, and hurl it wherever it should go almost the ball Went into the basket as if inspired by the hands that threw it. We could hear our routers yelling themselvus hoarse, in frantiu enthusiasm, :Is the brilliant plays 01' our team followed each other in quick succession. Our captain seemed po assessed with an uncontrollable fury. At the time I wondered how he had managed to regain his hmlth so suddenly. NowI Iknow that it was only superficial strength caused by his rapidly rising fevert But then he was irresistible. Clifton was totally unprepared for us. They had weakened themselves by playing too fast, and had further lessened thair chance of success by overestimating our inability to cope with them. Our score crept steadily higher. Clifton collected her forces and fought a valiant fight, but to no avail. Bob threw one mor 001g ll the score stood 2015 in our favor When the referee called time, and the triumph was ours Then I looked for Bob. The chills he had struggled :Igitinst so dvspemtely :It lust had him in their power, and he was shaking from huud to foot. We rushed to him with our coats, but the strain had been too much for him, and just us we rmchml his side he collapsed It had been in truth :1 prl'l'hiiln victory. ' .

Lawn E Scene from the English Room Window F there is one room in the high school that is fittingly chosen it is the English room, One of the greatesto charms in literature is the expression of the beauties of nature. On any dayf mthe windows of this room we can see a 1iew to be compared with those which our great poets have pictured in lines of enduring beauty to the world. Just below the windows the canal lies, calm and unruffled, save when :1 light skiff breaks its depths into glittering waves, or a large boat 01- tug towing :1 number of barges passes 21nd divides the waters into long waves tha t tra1e11n its wake widening: until thev reach the banks where they break in slow, noiseless ripples, and leave no fur ther tmcv. e lak elies beyond, 11 mirror reflectin the sunlight and clouds. On gentle days it is broken into sparkling waves, reflecting each my of sunlight in lines of burnished silver. A fish now and then leaps sportively t0 the surface to view another world. The air is brisk and clear; White clouds drift lazily across the sky, and all is calm and beauty. One could almost dream himself to be in 1011111 '3 seas of changeless, historic beauty, 11nd feel in fancy the breeze that sweeps over the fiel ds of Greece a forgotten heroex And as we gaze no thought comes of the secrets that its glittering depths could hold . t on stormy days the wind whips the waves 111111 billows, flecked by the white- caps, the lightning flash lights up the dark edge of a cloud when the storm iowt-rs 111-111. The restless, tossing waves grow dark; and one thinks of the sterner elements of life. The stormy tempest arouses the full life and strength of' the imagination, and we feel its force then, even 1111 the waves seem to realize their power and change, From limpid waters to raging instruments of destruction. Yett e loveliest, because of the most wonderful view, is, perhaps, when the lake lies a Ioaden, unbroken sur ace; the wind is hus hed in muff led silence; the sky is gray, and a solemn, mysterious light fills the void between earth and heaven. In the horizon are long bars of faint gray, pink, blue, lavender and a dim soft yellow, all resting in :1qu blending layers above each othen t is one of the most beautiful portraitures of the loveliness and harmony of 11:1 uture. With these lovely and changing phases of nature spreado out before our eyes, we can easi y imagine the pictured scenes of poet 1y y; feel in spirit the magic of the southern skies; see the glittering waters of Italyis sheltered seas, and feel the stormy tempest that sweeps over the Norseman's perilous home. 111 these we can sympathize with and 111111117 stand Byron, Shelley, Tennyson and the painters of the different scenes of the world. Do? In the Dark 133 S anything moro startling than to rake suddenly in the night with your heart in your mouth and :1 sense that something has happened? Your breath comes quick and tlmt and your heart beats like u tripthammer, yet :111 is still. An unknown four is so much worse thun u known One Last night I woke suddenly Hin the dead vast and middle of the night All was quiet at first. Then all of a sudden the bed begun to ruck.

E. T. An Essay on Flies LIES is a peculiar beast of burden It is an beast of burden in so far as it: fetches its food from one plm-e to some other, perhaps unknown, place. They is a peculiar little animals having iln unnumcrous number of lower extremities. I ke t one flie from one day to the nexti I found that flys ware as changeable in its general appearance us is changeable silk is changeable in its color. On the day that I captivated it, it only had eighteen 1v, . On the following day it had fully as many as nine. tEnormous increase in the wrong direction Anot or benefit derived from this tinny little bitsie insect is its value as FOOD Thev is considered as filthy uud gurm distributers, but if they are properly raised and fumiguted hefnre cookelv, they make the most delicious repast you ever hearn tell of FLIE AND RICE OASEROLE. 16 large, grains rice ' , ' fi 3 tomatoes Follow directions for CASEROLE MEAT AND RICE Flies can also be used for garnishing fancy dishes, such as desserts made of gelatin. Arranged in little ringluts 0n the surface of henvy,cream in the milk pitcher, they tor un uppetixing sauce for all breakfast foods. Their eyes are especially suitable for pickles. Mixed with red bug eyes and tomatoes sauce, they make delightful fillings for a sandwich. They are also advantageous in that they save many a tired housewife the trouble of hrusllv ing crumbs off the tnbkn In some instance: they have been known to save dishwashing by lapping the dish exaoedingly clean. I know many more useful uses of the insect, and if ynu do not find the desired information above, I will give it if you request. C. B.

Blum Huynnsy the First editor of the Seagull, and a manual training star, is new editor of the Long Horn of the A. and M. college. Wiiton Rutan, the first business manager and ranking first in manual training in 191142, is a senior at the A. and M., graduating with higher honors than any other architect The manual training department is like the Seagull, in that it has tried to keep abreast. of the times. Both endeux or ta turn out a finished product unexcelled by previous recurdsl Manual training aims to let a student find his place by trying different samples of many trades of a mechanical nature, The Seagull brings out the same thing in a liturury, artistic, mid business way, Both leave the student a product of his labor as a material recordt The present your has seen greater advance in manual training than any other year, except the first. Mr. G. P, Raborn has been added to the touching force, so that meehtinr ieal drawing has been separate existence and a higher grade of work in all departments has been turned out. Also more equipment has been added by the school board, and many lockers and other accessories were made by the student body. During the year the department has made two public displayst The first Wm 31 if' the Southeast Texas Fair, held at Beaumont. The seeond wns in the, show window Crowell 8n Giffordls hardware store of this city, from May 1 to May ii. Below is the opinion of the Port Arthur Record on the exhibit: HA fine exhibit of the handiwork of the manual training clus: s of thp high school, under the direction of Mr. George E. Carter, has been placed on display in it downtown store and has attracted the attention of a great many people. HThe exhibit consists of twentyefive pieces of furniture of various kinds, including tables, Chairs, buxesy mirrors in Frames, stools, cabinets, etc and mmthunit'nl drawings, tracings and blue prints. HIt is an unusually interesting exhibit and reflects a grout tlenl of credit upon the instructor and the students alike. The work of this department of the high svhool untlvr Prof. Carter illustrates what can be done in the way of Vocational training at Port Arthur, even under conditions not entirely fulvortihlet For one thing, this department is in need of better equipment, which it is hoped will be somewhat improved by the next term of school.H Although this subject is elective, a large per cent of the boys take the work. In the past boys from the shop have been sought by manuftietnring industries of the city. The shop is one of the show points of the school. Citizens 06 the city, travelers, salesmen, school men, visitors and till others like to get to the place where boys do thingsi Mothers wish their sons were old enough or so inclined that their parlors might be grut-utl by a handrmade library table, a music cabinet, or that the porch had the luxury of :x swingt This, however, is the least of the aim of the department. Its true aim is to let the worker find the thing he prefers to do and can do it without being driven. Many is the wild, woolly savage 0f the class room that gets into his nivhe when shop Ilny comes. so generally is the work liked that in the past tour years no buy 1m been gm corporal punishment, and but one has wilfully played off. The first year about one hundred took the work This year it is considerably over the two hundred mark. This department has done much to beautify the school grounds and building, and improve efficiency by constructing May poles, seersawsy skiugs, athletic equipment, book- cases, bulletin boards, lockers, floors, cement machine bases, etc. In the march of the present year Pete Johnson, Herman an, Dennis Jarrett and Arthur Beard, all seniors, and all shop boys, undertook the scheme of placing two busts in the High School auditorium. They made different cabinet jobs and also took a job of blue printing for a local un-hiteet. In all about twenty dollars was raised and the sculpture onlorwl. This is a precedent for me other seniors to rival. Here is :1 toast for the wurker and a roast for the loafer, that has never made a record in Hm place wherp the strap is applied to the tools instead of the boy, Where :1 whistle is not in bad mate and a fellow can throw things on the floor without a bawling out, As grout things do not huppi'n singly, may the Seagull and the Manual Training Dopartmout onjuy yomh, muturhy, old age and celebrate a century in hearty glee one with Hu- nthcn Domestic Science W 1 HIS dop 1rtment has made rapid progress since it was introduced into the schools 11' fuo ur you ago. 1 Domestic Art 1sewing1 is first studied in the sixth grade In this grade eg1ir1s are taught :111 of the stitches, se :1ms 5111 nd ems; how to etch: striped material, 1111110 linens woo 1e11 material an ow to darn worn places in linen and woo oenl material d 0d d 1111 even urn hose.
