How ruely sweet are the echoes that start When memory plays an old tune on the heart THE SEAQULL AF 1 9 11 6 SK? V O L UM E V PUBLISHED ANNUALLY BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF THE PORT ARTHUR HIGH SCHOOL Ix; ,AI. .1 X What; Ever in hours of study the Seagulls circled and sailed Vainly I envied their freedom wish- ing that I were free. Now the sight of the Seagull brings sweet memories of goat Dear friends and familiar places that I am longing to see. History of the Seagull d3 $1 By W. 1;, Rutan, t12. it has become the custom, in this world of ours, to write a history of everything that oceupits a plan? of importance, and to follow this custom the editors of this year's Seagull are publishing a history of it The history of the Seagull as pre- sented covers only a period of four years, and we hope that by the end of the next four years some genius will arise from our midst, and not only add to this history, but improve upon the brief out- line as presented by the present writers The Class of 1912 was the first class to publish a review of the yvar's work in the form of an annual, and their work is to he greatly commended. HThe princi- pal part of everything is the beginning, and the beginning made by the members of the Class of 1912 is the thingr that has made the Seagull a success each year. l S B HAYNES i l Editanin-Chiefnflhe FirstSeagull M S- 3- Haynes W35 Chose to 9d h, the first edition of the Port Arthur High Schuol's Annual, and XV. Li Rutan attended to the financial side of the publi- cation. Th3 Class of 1912 thought of many names for the hook, and after much argument and discussion! doeidcd to call it the Seagull. The first Seagull stood in a class with similar publications of other sehocls in Texas, and has surpassed by nontx Financially it was a success, also, for a considerabl: amount of money was turned over to the Class of 1913 to start them in their task of publishing the second volume of the Seagull, Each year the graduating classes of the Port Arthur High School have published a volume of the Seagull, and each year the hunk has seen many im- movements The Class of 1916 has adle many improvements to last year's publication, but they are of the opinion, as the book goes to press, that next year's class will find as many more, improvements to add. The fact that each editor of the Seagull sues many ways to improve thJ hook is what makes the publication what it is today, the, host of its kind in the State Each and every member of the classes that have published a volume of the Seagull have gone at the task in a husincss like way, and have put the host that they possessed into the'hook. VVhercvel' you find an alumnus you will also find a copy of the Seagull with the same date 011 its cover that appears on the class ring of its owner, and you will also he imprvssed with the examples of student work the book contains Many, who have carefully examined the book, have remarked upon the high class of student activities sml represented therein; they have hern made to realize that Port Arthur post the most up-toidate school system in the South. The Seagull is a constant source of comfort and joy to its owners, for it never fails to bring back distinct remembrancos of school days, of friends that stood by you in the days you were, getting your education, and who have since, been separated from you As you look through the pages of the Seagull, and gaze upon the pictures of your classmatcs, how great is that longing which arises within you, the longing to again take your place among your old class- mates in Port Arthur, and have those same teachers endeavor to crowd some knowledge into that grey matter which is supposed to be in the rogioo of your body known as the headl You could go back to the school house, for it is still there, but you would not be satisfied, in fact you would feel almost out of place, for all your classmates are gone, they are out in the world, making: good, and the only thing that you have to remember them by is the, publication which they, as well as you, helped to publish, the Seagull vuvuvuvuvuvnHrvuvuvuvvvuvuvuvuvuvuvun vuvuv OREWORD N presenting this, the fifth volume of Lhe SEAGULL, to a student body yearly growing mm-o disrriminating, wear? hoping to achieve the high standard set by our predecessors. If in years to come this book shall bring happy memories of youthful friends; if in years to come it shall bring back to some of us the enthusiasm, faith, and ambitions of our school days, then indeed will the editors be content.

RUTH BAMMERT ROLLAND LAWRENCE JEANNETTE CARTER JOHN RADER ELIZABETH DUNSTAN FRANCIS RUSLING H ERBERT WILLARD History of First Mid-Year Class $ Rb This class is small but we live up to the proverb, ttlittle but loudiH We are such a remarkable class that it will be best to talk first of individual char- acteristics and then of our qualities as a whole. first one that comes into In mind is Ruth Bsmmert, who has been a member of this class ever since it left the kindergarten. Ruth is not a mathe- matical shark but she certainly Hhands over the goods ' :r as been with us from the pIimeI' up She is our musician and when it comes to ttickling the ivories' she will always take the prize. Eliz abs th Dunstan came heIe from Mississippi and joined our class in the tenth grade Lizzie is the only gill athlete but she makesu up the other girls part for she ha as been captain of the girls' basketball team and has piloted it to continual success. Rolland Lawrence is also a new reeinuit having joined us in the seventh grade. Rolland is a singer, eatoonist, and mathematician, but he intends t specialize in cartooning and designing He is President of our class and also of Editor of the Sea he fi fth member of this famous class is John Rader John came to us from the country school, which can readily be seen by a glance at his feet, he has always done his best and has made very good grades He is a seeond-elass football player, but intends to be a fil'steclass one next year, indulges some- what in track, but has too much Dutch to make any records, excepting, how- ever, the mile. Another one of our new members is Francis Rushing, who annexed hima self when we were in the tenth grade. He is a dl'hatev' of no small skill, an :11 tist and geneial goodw Ol'ikel'. Francis is also a good football player but takes part in no other at tehlt Las ,bu t not least, is Herbert Willard or as his friends call him, HThe Colonel. Herb, who is one of the charter members is very quiet but when e is called upon he can usually give the desired i11fo1mation. The Colonel plays football like a demon and we certainly hopet ttha when he comes back next year he will have gained some weight so that he can play ike tw o III'Inons In his studies he has no favorites but is excellent 1n them all. Some people think that because a class is small it will not have any advantages, but in spite of our fBWHPSS in numberw ehave many goodq uali- ' 1eh give us the advantage 0191 the othms for example 0111 extreme good loolkingness also we, are great students as our report cards and also 0111' teachers, will te sti y. eJ.

In the spring: of 1915 an cffom was made to organize a cluh, About twenty hoys signified their approval of the idva and Iheiv- desire to join, a night was $91 and the boys gathvred in front of tho high school building, but no one arrivml 10 10,1 Thom in, so number night was set for the organization. Al 1his mwling', Mr. Morgan! Cartm' actmi as chairman and the constitution uhiuh had prr-vimlsly boon drawn up, was atloptt-d. C100 Dowel! was elected President, Adrian Gm'man Vice President and Karl Ericson, Socrmary. Every Friday night 11w members gmhorcd in The auditorium and dis, r sswl up-turdah- and Vital tuwstions. After 1110 tlchmu it was the delight of lhu mmnlwrs to ungagc in a parliamentary drill in which no little amount of PHJOyllH'Ht and ontm'minnmm was had. ,M 1119 lwgzilming of 1110 1915716 school term, the club rvom-anizod and W mou Miles was oIOcted President, Mr. Bmlcl',1he Manual Training Wachol', was olocH-d rritic aml coach of the club. Since this Hmo there, have bum 1wo vlcmions: at the firm of those, Cleo Dnivoll was vlvmvd PI-vsidom; John Radw, Vice Presidmn: and George, James, Svcrvtary. At Hm last election Frank Rohm'son was made President, Poster Mnyvr, Vice Prusitlvnt: and Uranvilh Stafford, Secretary. Mrs. E. S. Carter, thc Librarian, has always given her generous help in hmkiug for matwials and tho memhers arc dwply indebted 10 her for her hm-rest in, and help 10 the debaters. Daniel Webster Debating Club This society is one which had its beginning: this yoar, shortly aftnr tho opening of schoolt It was organized primarily for tho, lwtwfit ot' the thru- lower classes, but we have the distinction of having om! Souiorhs name upon our 1011, Since its organization scarcvly a Friday night has passed without a meeting: of this club, and new memhors have constantly horn added to the roll. Tho subjects for debate at our meetings have hoen upon the important questions of the day. The memhets haw displayvd g'rvat enthusiasm in put paring their debates which have ht-eu pronounced excellent by tho, grunt majority of our hearers. Enthusiasm has liktWViSO hoot: displayed in parliamen- tary practice, each nwmhm' striving: to learn as much as possible ahout now ducting an orderly meeting Th0 purpose of all dehatingz societies has been carried out in this mw, that it: to tvach tho memhgrs not, to he cmharrassod whilv speaking to an audience. After the first month the teachers began to remark upon the improved rucitar lions ol' the members of our club and have g'ivvn it their hearty approval from the first. Since this time we have continued to improvv upon our delivery, $8.12, '17. The School State The 1915 civic class, for the sake of practical vxpvrimmv, hit upon the idea of establishing a government, modvlmt after the, city govm-nmmtt, among: the students of tho High School, The class was divided into groups who wore to prepare different, soctions of the charter. These sections hoing turned in afld approved by the charter committee, a final chartm' was drawn up and submitted tn H10 pupils of the High School. It was adopted hy u suhr stantial majority, there being not a single vote, against tlw adoption. 1 Five Commissioners were then chosml, ono each from the Freshman, Sophomorm Junior and Senior classes and one from the Alumnae . Tho first, Commissioners of the School State were: Vcrno'n Miles, Senior rvpr sontatiw and Mayor; Rolland Lawrmlce, Junior rcprrsontativv and Commitssionor of Public Records and Finance; Frank Thomas, Sophomoro representative and Commissioner of Public Property and Improvements; Frank Carlson, Fresh- man I'oprvsentativo and Commissioner of Puhlic Health and Sanitation and Karl Ericson, Alumnae representative and Commissioner of Public Order and Safety Those appointed to office the first year are: George James, City Attorney; Granville Stafford, City Judge; Cleo Dowell, City Health Officer; John Rader, City Clerk; Frank Roberson, Chief of Police; Maxeine Japour, Jarl Griffith, Dick Bus, Foster Mayer, Elizabeth Dunstan, Virgie Vaught, Loretta Horan and Lena Briggs, Polieemen, There have been several ordinances passed, among them, an ordinance prohibiting the throwing of waste paper and lunch bags on the campus, one keeping pupils from coming to the second 01' third floors during the noon interA mission and another which aims to keep order in the halls. Anyone disobeying the provisions of the ordinances is arrested and brought before court the next day. Here his name is called in its order and he is brought up for trial. The arresting officer states the facts in the case and the one arrested attempts to explain his actions. if the judge finds him guilty, 3 fine is imposed 0f clean- ing up the athletic house, helping.y one of the teachers or any thing which the judge thinks reasonable. Student government is yet in its infancy here but the students are rapidly grasping the idea of its meaning and purpose They are realizing that by mining: this sort of training; in their school days, it will enable them to enter their actual citizenship more intelligent of governmental affairs and this is the kind of citizens that will raise the standard of politics. The Barbarossa Club The Barharnssa Club was organized by Miss Cobb, teacher of German in 1914-15. The club was named for Frederic Barbarossa, king of Germany dur- ing,y the twelfth century The object 01' the club was not only enjoyment but it was also expected to help the members with their conversation in the German language, The elub met twice every month, Tuesday being the day assigned for these meet- ings. On several occasions each member was allowed to invite some outside friend and German at these meetings was abandoned. At the regular meetings German games were played and German songs were sung, and everything was carried out in a German way even to the refreshments, although limhurger cheese and beer were excluded Under the auspices of Miss Romberg the Barbarossa Club was reorganized in November 1915 Rolland Lawrence was elected President and Hugh Mm Fal'land, Secretary and Treasurer, 111 March a party was arrangod in honor of Miss Cobb, which proved very successful, several members of the Alumnae being present. During this same month a German entertainment was given which was also a success, Quito 21 number of German songs were sung, and two German monologues were given Nunwrous folk dances were also on the program and to those in the audiencv who did not understand the monologues the dances proved more entertaining Through the year of 1916 the club was very successful and will in all probability he reorganized next year. Wearers of the P. A. On February 2, 1915, a number of th:' High School athletes who had m- eeivod their honors in athletics gathered together for the purpose of organiz- ing an association whoreby they could keep in touch with each Othelz George James, William Dickinson, Karl Ericson and WtJ.Bu1-ch were the main promoters of the Organization.

At the same time they are beginning to enjoy the cultural side, in the songs which they have learned through the formal study. Pupils haw attainvd to the view point which recognizes music as a Hlanguage whom- symbols must he known individually and rclatively, so that each student by his own effort may read, understand and interpret the songs given for study. Three-voicod Song is enjoyed in the seventh grade classes while eighth grades are initiated into the mysterits of the bass elt-fi Thv voices which art' developing uiidm' class and individual attention, and many boy voices uhich were little better than monotones last September are now pleasing: 10w altos 21ml hassosi i In the High School the subject is elective; credits being given to Glee Club mnmboi's. The Girls' Glee Club, which organized early in the year has thirty members who rehearse twice a week They are studying good selections in three and four partsi A selected quartet is rehearsing compositions of differ- ent grades. The Boysl Glee Club of twenty earnest and hard working mom, hers meet for rehearsal twice a week before school. The union of these clubs forms an excellent mixed chorus doing enthusiastic work. In all this the beautiful new grand piano is an inspiration and of the greatest assistance. A movement is well under way to organize a brass band. Over forty will constitute this hand and reht'arsals will bogin before the yvar is finished. The head of the Manual Training department is to act as hand master while the instructor in music Will he conductor. It is hopt-d that before long an orchestra will develop from this organization. The Art Department Q? Do? Miss Myra Bragg, 111stl'uctm'. Though drawing in the primary 511111 grammar grades has occupied a place in the schools for several years, it has never before been included in the High Schoolh cui'riculun kbega 11 with the elementary principles of drawing taught from type Tsoslids0 followed by cast drwa wing Moret time has been devoted to, and pe e'aplh the keenest interest has be 1111show in the subject 01' applied design, some very satisfa actory results being obtained1 in the craft work. Hammered brass and eoppm and book binding have hem the extent of this year's course, though the ideal one also includes jewelry, pottery and tooled leather.

The quality 0 excellence of the High School work of course depends upon the logical growth of the drawing and hand work given the primary and grannnar grades The subject of drawing in the public school is 0111', which is easily misunA de1stood, as the average person is apt to consider its effect from a cultural standpoint only, while it is a fact that the properly 11131111011 eoulso stresses equa ally the 111 aetieal side. The present day plea from the public is Hteach the child something: 110 can use, and it is this demand which is shaping the progress 01' the modern draw- ing class.

They had many plays that were admired by the older player's. Their schedule called for only three games, but in those thoy showui up well. The first game was with the Beaumont Scruhs. Although greatly ont- weighed, they walloped the higgm' boys 10 to 0, in this $3311an iooi-ge Erioson, the Scrub fullback, broke a record in that he kicked the first official field goal on the Port Arthur gridiron.

Boys Basketball Season Do? $ Old man rain started the basketball season wi1h a downpour and he kept it up during the biggest part of the season, and this affected our practice very much. The prospects for a good season were unusually good at first, but just before the first game one Of our best players dropped out and another was hurt, so that he Was out of the game. These things together with the rain, made things look like disbaiidmont, but the boys elected Frank Roberson cape tain and decided to stick it out win or loose. Ewry game was played away from home and the boys had some very nice trips. The first game that We played was with Sour Lake and the boys went there without any practice for a week, Although we put up a stiff fight we were simply out-classed, the score being 37 t0 7. the goal throwing of Harry Becki some fast basketballi The feature of the game was They gave us a clean game and showed The next trip was to South Park This game was much closer than the Sour Lake game, ending with the score 9 to 7 in favor of South Park. Foster Mayor Went into this game and although handicapped with an injured handy he played some excellent basketballi Port Arthur led during the biggvst part of this game and it was not until the last whistle blew that it was decided against them. The third game which was played in Beaumont against Beaumont High School, was One in which Port Arthur did fight. We held Beaumont to a standstill during the first half, the score being at this time 3 to 1 in their favor, Beaumont then ran in fresh men, and although our men fought hard, they could not cope with them The score ended 17 to 9 in favor of Beaumont. The fourth game was played in Houston without our big center and we felt it in the scoi'e-which was 50 t0 3 in favor of Houston. 1n speaking or the speed of the Houston team, our boys said that the only time that they could see the ball was when Houston made a foul and they would gei a chance at a free goal, only to miss. Even if we eonhin '1; win; considering everything, we thing: we had a very good season. Lineup.

I don t know what, Jasper would have done, Chick, without the attor'noy to furnish the brains for the D181 and policemen. Well, I sends oGi'andpa th1'0ugzh again and Doc makes a fine tackle. t sure did make thel cfeel good so I calls the same forma tion again and Grandpa yells, HCome 011, oChief and starts right through Doe and Chick you never seen a Cris we 'oss 11'01'k hotter.

Mr. Radar has enlightened the lovers of Sport by having: his theory puhlishml in the Chicago Blade and Ledger, which article I will quoto: HThe materials used are a square hit and a round brace; a round tuh, not a bath tub; 0110 ton of grucn ehccsv, limhurg'ur preferred; a squan' oar, and a jolly laugh.H HFirst, find a round lakv, 031' out to the center, hero 3 round holv in Hll' center of the lake and then put all the cheese about the hole so that tho WhittltL tits can roach it. Tho angler must be patientY for in about one hour after placing the cheese over the halo tho, XVhifflvtits will get the soztnt and will proceed to find out where it comes from. The first sign the angler guts of thv fishis presence is a slight rocking of tho heat. The fish will stick his head out of the hole slowly and make a quick grab for the chucsv and swallow it all. Upon doing so, ht' swells immediately so that he is ullablv to gut hack into the 'l'hen immediately the angler must begin to laugh thv fish IliZ' and after doing so hv roachvs out, catches the fish by tho eyebrows and lifts it into the hoztt.H 7G.

Vth you can't think of anything else to do, start breaking the test tubes; the chimes of broken glass gives a musical air to the room. 2 Always throw glass tubing- that is too long or short on the floor; it makes the laboratory look like a busy workshop 3. Never take time to sot up an apparatus right; it takes too much time which should be spent in gossip. . A ways lot the other follow get up his note book; then borrow it and copy the exporimems. 3 Break up as much apparatus as possible; the manufacturers say thcy are starving and we must help them 0111. 6. Use all tho acids, salts and other materials you possibly can; it helps keep up the expenses. 7. Whenever you don ,t know what a substance is, just take a big mouthful of it; Ihis is the best method known to determine whether or not a substance is harmful. 8. Wait until some one else sets up the apparatus, so you will know how, but novm- read tho directions given in the book. 9, If you do not get the results of an experiment in the first trial never try again, hm gm, ihe results from someone else 10i V'hit the stow room often, do anything you like; fool around, make combinations with different suhstancos, as a few explosions add pop and excite- Nm'm' put, a bottle or apparatus back where you found it, ment to the scenv. for the instructor takes much delight, in rearranging them.

Q?! Miss Bragg, instructor of the art, department, has assisted thn staff of the Seagull in every way possible and her work is very much appreciated by the Nlilol's 01' the Seagull. The classes of the art department have also been a great held 10 the staff in designing the cover for this book, Miss Bragg was asked it' she eeultl make some kind of design for tho, Seagull, and her sug- gestion was that it he Milnnitted to the classes as a problem. It was put to the classes and the editors offered a complimentary Seagull to the one producing the best design. lleI-etoliore this kind of work had been done by professional Engravers, but the art department, has done such creditable work this year that they were given this task This was given as a class problem and much i11- Ierest was manifested in the undertaking: Each student was to make a eonventionalized design to he suhmittetl to the judges unsigned There were many Very effective designs and it, proved PXCCHliIIUiy haul t'oi tht judges who consisted mainly of the fate ulty and editmial statt ot the Seagull to choose one. ' choice was especially diffi- cult, hutween the designs of lllizaheth Dunstan, llthel Atkinson and John Ratlm: l'lowever, Miss Dunstan's was finally conceded to he the must appro- priate. Mis Anderson, one of the Judges, said that this work was truly 1'07 markahlv t'm' Ilig-h School Studentsi The following deserve honerah e mention, having made very interesting designs: Rolland Lawrence, John Radm', Ethel Atkinson, Barbara Sehloitlt, Dena Ruyseuaars, Lillian Roberson and Leah Montgomery. It ix expected that all this kind of work will he done by the Art depart- ment in the future and the students are looking forward to designing: the 1917 clast rings. The oditm's again wish to thank M iss Bragg- aml her classes for the great assistance they have given her, and it is our hope that the Art department of next year will keep the good work going antl accomplish worthy things, not only along: this hut 111011;: many other lines.
