We have toiled diligently, striving with Hercu- lean effort, to squeeze, pound, and condense into two hundred and forty pages, material, which, if due space were given it, would fill volumes. We have endeavored with ceaseless effort to pro- duce an original and interesting Sea Gulll', and to raise higher the wonderful standard set by last year's staff. With the hope that our aims will be realized, and our toil not in vain, we toss the burning torch to the staff of '27, who are reaching eagerly to grasp it.

EEnglieh Bepartment If a poor man were heir to jewels valued at millions, yet were unable to convert those jewels into forms of wealth that would assist him in this world, he would remain a poor man. So the man who is hem to the rich jewels available in the literature of the English race, remains a poor man unless he can transmit those riches into a form which he can use. It is the object of the student of English to find these riches and to learn to use them. In the study of English literature the seeker finds knowledge of inestim- able worth, Af he nnasters these thoughts so that he can use them, they become a gold- en treasury whose resources are infinite. With Burns and Tennyson he glimpses the supreme ideal that nIt's coming yet, for a' that, That man to man, the world o'er, Shall brothers be for a' that. Such ideals bring happiness, contentment, and give a purpose to life. Besides having the opportunity of associating with the greatest minds of the ages through the study of literature, the English student attempts a second goal-to attain riches that come from the use of words. The achievement of right expression in oral and written composition provides wealth which commands the respect of friends, wins the esteem of successful men, and brings to the user the greatest satisfaction. A review of the year's activities of the English Department shows among many other things observance of Fire Prevention Week and of Better Book Week, prepara- tion of exhibits for the fair, essay contests on Why the Census Should be Taken and Tree Planthg in Port Arthur ; public speaking students sent to woments and men 5 clubs, and to the theatres, to give talks on campaigns conducted by the Y M. B. L; two plays, ttIt Pays to Advertise and HThe Whole Town's Talking ; declaimers and de- baters in the Inter ' ' in League, , 't' projects; L t' of The Pilot , the page of school news in the Sunday issues of The Port Arthur News , and of the uSea Gull , our annual. Eietnrg Eepartment Nearly a thousand students of P A. H. S. enroll in the History Department each term. Altho only aneeent history, and medieval and modern history are required, the electives, English history, American history, civics, economics, and sociology are be- coming more popular all of the time. All freshmen sign up for a two years' trip. First they travel to far away Medite erranean waters and enjoy a cruise along its borders, learning the lore of the Egyptians, Babylonians, Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans, meeting the great leaders and makers of history, such as Moses, Pericles, Alexander, and Caesar, touching elbows with the cule ture of Greece, the luxury of the Ornent, and the cosmopolitanism of Rome. Later they tour the continent of Europe and view the rise of the nations, gaze on the faces of Charlemagne, Gregory, Luther, and Bismark and note the marks of their influences on Europe, even to our own day Some students declare this long journey enough. They return to the homeland content to recall the pleasant trip only as they may need to turn Memory's pages. But one group of travelers linger for a trip through England. They follow the footprints of Saxon Democracy and Religious Liberty Finally they discover these mighty leaders of progress setting Sail across the broad Atlantic. Eager- ly the interested travelers return to North American shores and watch the rise of the mightiest advocate of democracy and religious liberty the world has ever known. But these travelers are not content to settle down until they have gazed long and earnestly on three monuments to progress and happiness, namely, Civics, Economics, and Socio- Ogy Throughout this tour of four years the students of P A. H. S. keep constantly in touch with the hume-land through The World Review and The Literary Digest. aid 1 4 ' 1' ' 31th; Ugthuul pthrarg The High School Library, which was formerly a branch library for the English anti History departments, is now in constant use for nearly all of the departments of the school. Each year it has grown until now it contains 2,705 volumes. When reference work is assigned, the teacher gives the pupil a pass from the study hall to the library, where he stays for the period. If the pupil prefers, he may come to the library between periods and take the book to the study hall for one period. In every English class each pupil must report on three books every term and in every history class two reports are required. Pupils are allowed to borrow for home reading the books needed for these reports. The High School librarian, Miss Marvis Summers, is assisted by four high school studentS-Hassie Placette, Jamal Antone, Paul Ketcherside, and Norman Castanie. ?m w 1339 k4 WI 317V'h - Critgh hthnu k m m y 2111mm fit rang Memorial Library serves as a supplementary library for the High School.

November 8-14 Memorial Library sponsored the observance of Young People's Book Week. Appropriate programs were given in the various home rooms and the English department and the art classes participated in contests, prizes for which were given by the Department Club. Winners in these contests were as follows freshmen essay contest, Carl Smith, sophomore and junior essay contest, Myrtle Pine, poster contest, Mabel Corning, speech contest for all English and public speaking classes, Sybil Powers, first place and Beryl Hamm, second place. The staff of Memorial Library consists of Miss Mary E. Donaldson, librarian, Misses Rosa Gerrietts, Adele Ellisor, and Gladys Baker, assistants, and Miss Doris Scallorn, substitute. , gamma Tmnnmita Eepartmmt Until recent years home economics was popularly known as domestic science in high school, and very little emphasis was given this phase of high school work. Today we find home economics holding a place 0' equal importance with other subjects which go to make up a high school curriculum. We strive to do away with the idea of Hsalad, tea, and embroidery as a home economics course by actually relating the work of the school to the home. Courses are offered in such a way that girls may easily apply them to practical home problems. epartment is divided into four courses, each separate course having direct re lationship with the other courses. The following outline Will give a brief synopsis of just what is being done in the Home Economics Department. THE CLOTHING DEPARTMENTeThree oneehalf unit courses are offered by the department, giving a total of one and oneAhalf affiliated credits in clothing Until this year the department offered only one affiliated credit. During the fall term Clothing III, or dressing and millinery, was affiliated. The fundamentals of clothing are offered in Sewing I. Very simple garments are made, as the department Wished to produce quality rather than quantity in all of its undertakings, and a sound foundation is a prerequisite to this aim. More complicated problems are given in Sewing II. In the second unit of clothing the pupil has become acquainted with the principles of sewing, and has some knowledge of the elements of design. Tailored dresses of linen, wool, and silk are made by the girls in Sewing II classes. The make over or renovation problem is given during the sece 0nd term. In the renovation problem many practical points in cleaning, pressing, and stain removal are given. When household linens are studied by the second term girls, visits are made to the down-town stores. Practical buying is given in the town trips, and the girls learn the differences and advantages of ready made and home made house linensi In the third term of sewing the girls have a chance to apply all of their elementary knowledge to more elaborate sewing Woolen and silk dresses are made as the big problems of the course. The girls have the opportunity of making their graduation dresses, thereby saving at least half the expense of graduation clothes. Many outside features are to be found in the clothing course. This year a down town exhibit was given, showing the townspeople some of the work of the school. Another outstanding feature of the clothing department was the Girls' Annual Cloth- ing Contest held in Beaumont. Such a contest is a broadening experience for the girls. It is an inducement for better work, and is made a Very big factor in the improvement of clothing courses in the high school. APPLIED DESIGN,eClosely related to clothing is the subject of design. In fact, the two courses are interdependent and should be taken at the same time. One does not have to be an artist to take applied design. The course is one of appreciation rather than of construction. Some actual art work is done, however, the execution is primary in nature when compared to the work done by art Classes. Very practical problems are offered so that the elements of design may be appl.ed here and the work carr ed on in the home. Simplicity, correctness, and appreciation are the chief aims of the course. With the correct understanding of the course the pupil may easily know whyeitA thing of beauty is a joy forever Many practical things were made this year, especially articles where the popular vogue of hand painting could be applied. Through the hard work of the design class affiliation was granted by the state department at the recent meeting of the Clothing Contest held in Beaumont. HOME MANAGEMENTeClosely related to clothing and design is the course in home management. The work consists of first what the name implies plus the wor efficiency Standards of living are studied, and each girl strives to raise her own standard of living Practical problems are undertaken in the home management course Since we do not have a cottage, the girls make trips to town when they study furniture, plumbing, and interior decoration. tConlinued on page 223 HUI He. lgx H x , . HHHHNJ:w cmathemaiits ggepartmmt Someone has said that we do actually know anything unless we can put it down in numbers. This is a broad statement, it is true, but at the same time we do not know much of anything there is if we can not express it in numbers. Numbers, however, are only a small part of the work of the Mathematics Depart- ment, for we study many other things besides The freshmen have the four fundae mental operations, parenthesis, special rules for multiplication, factoring, fractions, and fractional equations, and when they get through with this, they are well prepared to study more algebra. e sophomores have simultaneous and simple equations, graphs, three unknowns, problems in two and three unknowns, inequalities, involution and evolution, theory of exponents, and radicals. When they are finished with those things, then they are ready to start such things as quadratic equations, simultaneous quadratics, graphs, ratio, proportion and variation, arithmetical progression, geometrical progression, bin- omial theorem, and logarithms. In plane geometry for the juniors and in solid geometry for the seniors, we study nearly all of WentwortheSmith's text books, and in advanced arithmetic and trigonom- etry we use the same manis book who wrote the algebra. All of these courses give us four affiliated units in Mathematics If at any time any person is fortunate enough to receive an A, then his name goes on the honor roll on the little bulletin board. This board generally has posted on it about eighteen per cent of the entire number taking mathematics. A school without mathematics would be about like a barber shop without a barber; that is, without anything to trim one down. After all, mathematics is a great truth easily Within the grasp of most as us, the foundation of the exact sciences, and is that thing on which all future development is based. Regardless of whether we pass or fail in mathematics, we are better citizens for having been ttexposed to it, for as someone has said, HI am a part of all that I have met. and what is more honest and truthful than mathematics? ggnme EEtmmmics Glowinueh DIETETICS.eThe work in the dietetics classes is in direct connection with cafe- teria work. Educational efforts are being made to acquaint the child With the pro blem of proper food and health habits. In order that the work may be carried on accurately each child keeps her nheight, weight, and age chart so that actual facts may be studied. Results have been compared, and the girls found that they gain by the use of the health charts. Through the diet course, health habits which bear directly upon good citizenship are formed, thus the course fulfills a two-fold purpose. The classes try to keep charts for small children to see how the experiment works with other persons. When the child grasps the aim and purpose of the course, she has given to herself a knowledge and working idea upon which she may build her future self as a good citizen with a strong mind and healthful body COOKING CLASSESeAlong with dietetics is always associated foods work. Food principles, health habits, and practical methcds are given the girls who are in food classes. Meal service is taught and special dinners with invited guests are prepared and served by the food classes The work is presented in such a way that the girls may do the work at home just as they do at school. N . aha ?latm Bepartment The Latin Department offers four years of work of vital importance to the pupil who wishes to understand his own language, train his mind for memory and accuraCy, and to appreciate the Worlds best literature The courses are Varied, but each has three ai effirst, study of word-fom ation and general grammatical principles, second, training in attention, accuracy and perseverance, and third, some knowledge of Roman life, history, and mythology Vhen pupils enter the Latin Department for the first time it is all so strange and different they become easily discouraged. Then they begin to realize that we Ameri- cans would have to be silent three fourths of the time if we could not use Roman ideas and words. After that, vocabulary grows rapidly and soon they are enjoying the life - u of Roman children and learning old legends of Rome with nJulia The time passes all too quickly, and early in the second year pupils enroll or find themselves drafted into Caesar's great army Here they come face-tmface with their ancestoi'Sethe French, the Belgians, Swiss, and the Britons. But alas, the hardships of war are terrible! However, those who have fought faithfully and won their battles, during those trying years in Gaul, enthusiastically return to Rome. The third year is spent in the city of Rome where all become interested in politi- cal questions. They hear Cieerois speeches in which he speaks fearlessly against the crimes of the age. Something is learned of Roman government, her courts, and her business life. A visit is made to the old Roman Forum, a place of beauty and interest with its paved streets, government buildings, and temples to the gods. As a reward for perserverance and achievement, in the fourth year, a Wonderful trip over the Mediterranean World of early times is offered. Virgil conducts the party, and as he tells the fascinating story of the Trojan War, Paris, Helen, Dido, and Aeneas become real people. At last there is a trip to the underworld with Sibyl as a guide. As a warning Virgil says, Facilis descensus Averno sed revocare gradum, hic labor est.H However, not one has ever been lost on this trip, for after four years in the Roman World all have learned HLabor ommia vincltf' ngmtigh Eepartmmt he Spanish Department has made rapid progress in the past three years, as is evident by the large number of pupils enlisted in the study of Spanish. In the past three years the number of pupils in the department has increased from about two hundred to five hundred pupils. The faculty of the department has increased from two teachers to five. It is the aim of the department to cultivate a desire for the best Spanish and to stress the practical and cultural importance to the individual. The department offers a three year ccurse, and the pupils who continue in the work for the full three years are able to converse ,nterestingly in Spanish. During the first two years much Stress is placed on syntax of grammar and on conversation with definite aim. The third year of Spanish is the most interesting and enjoyable year of study, for it is during the third year that the pupils study the literature of Spanish. The increasing ccmmerc'al relation between the United States and the Latin- J.merican countries has given much popularity to the study of Spanish. Mr Hoover, Secretary of mtei'ior of the United States, h , said that Spanish is of importance In tho Unted States second only to that of English and of commercial importance, second to no other language. This is perhaps the reason why Spanish has become so popular in the Port Arthur High Sehool. The organization of the two Spanish Clubs, uEl L. O. R. O. and La Tertuliaf has caused the work of the department to be much more interesting and practical than over before. The membership of these clubs is composed of those pupils who have a desire to learn more about Spanish and who are willing to devote extra time to the study of the language. Although no credit is given for the work by the clubs, there are approximately one hundred students enlisted in the work. $ti2m2 Bepartmmt Science is nothing but trained and 01' ganized common sense , says Huxley Som college p1 ofessor has said that common sense was not so common. uxley also says that the most important thing in education is science. Port Arthur agrees with Hux- ley as far as she 15 concerned, for she would say that science provides a means of liveli- hood Just where would our city be if it were not fo1 sci ence. cience has played a great part in our city Science dug our canal, built our refiner es, built cur school system, and last but not less important our scientific edu- cators put a science department in the system. We have over five hundred and fifty people taking science, and at least two years is required of everyone. A question was uebated this spring in the chemistry sections, which was Resolved That every pupil should take chemistry in the high school. This shows that we feel the need of science n our lives. The Science Department is also an active one, for without activity we have no life, and science certainly does contribute to our lives. The chemistry classes wrote essays for the Chemistry Societys Essay Contest, reports on various subjects we1e given in all the classes, things of interest were studied outside of the regular course, a trip to one of the refineries was made and a written repo ort was turned in as part of the work. The department also has an honor roll called Cum Laude 111 Sc1ence. The science department has two fundamental aims, and if anything has been ac- complished along these lines then our year's work has not been in vain. First to teach science in usch a way as to help someone lead a better life in a better way, a second. to help one appreciate the things that one sees around him. Napoleon drew his men up before the pyramids and said Soldieis, fifty centuries look down upon you. We can go to a rock quarry,pic1ck up a rockw1th the remains of some fossil, and look at it and say, not fifty centuries, but fifty million centuries look down upon us. Or we can look at the stars which are all suns and even some are many times largex than our sun and know that it takes four years for the light from the closest star to reach us while some are so fai away that it takes as long as two hundred years 1'01 the light to reach us. These are only some of the things that one might hope for from the taang of science. There are seven courses offered Physiology and home nursing, open to freshmen and sophomores, include the care for the body when sick and when well. Geneial science and physical geography, open to freshmen and sophomores, treat of sueh sub' ects as rainfall, contour maps, weather reports, soil, water, general electri- city and some machines. Biology is a sophomore subject, dealing with the life of plants and animals. Chemistry is a junior or senior subject, dealing with chemical reactions and man's efforts to control them. Physics is a junior or senior subject, dealing with electricity and magnetism, heat and light and work gnhuetrial Cams The industrial work is carried on in our High School, first, for its educational value and, second, to develop any special talent which may be found among the stu- dents. The Industrial Arts Department in the High School has grown rapidly from one teacher to nine teachers and is now serving four hundred and fifty three students daily in the various divisions. We are hoping for further expansion in this department. AUT O- MECHA CS The auto- mechanics course is an ideal one f01 the boy who intends to follow the trade in after life. The vocational class which takes up half of ay was created for such a boy Here the boy can learn more about the important units of an automobile in one term than the apprentice in the commercial shop can in a whole year The boy' 1n the eommeI cial shop spends most of his time running errands, greasing and washing cars. Not so with the vocational class, he starts out right away with study and actual work, thereby getting the jump on the less fortunate boy There are no exercises or projects made, every job is an actual job on a car that has run, the same as if it had been taken to a first class comme1cial shop AR TS AND CRAFTS. W at ki rid of things do you make in here? That 1s the question that has been asked probably more than any one question this year ccncern- in ng the arts and crafts division The course as outlined meludes craft work and life drawing and out- door sketching Everything that is new in gthe way of crafts is eagerly investigated. Practically 1111 designs are original, though adaptations of designs are sometimes used The work this year has included the making of gesso placques, enamelling book ends, deseigninp; bread boards, making telephone screens, reed floor and table lamps, etc. Sev rai of the girls macle their own Chris tmas presents. Just before the holidays an exheibit 0f the work was placed in the hall of the Main Buildin ng So man inquiries came it asking if the articles were for sale that the idea of a High School Gift Shop was con- ceived. This has not been realized though the idea is not given up. This spring the girls are making themselves hand- painted scar s. art 5 and crafts division is well equ1ped, a large well- lighted room is nThe Studio. '6' The p0pu1a1ity of the work 1s shown by all classes being filled the second term. MECHANICAL DRAWING. eThe High School student finds the course in me- chanical drawing interesting as Well as profitable. The course covers a period of four years, two years preliminary drawing and the student electing for the remaining two years either architectural drawing or machine thawing The students are allowed to make all drawings necessary for their problems and work in woodwork and machine work. All drawings and designs used in the school system a1e made by Students in the drawing classes. A student completing the course of four years is qu te capable uf un- derstanding a blue print 01' making a drawing of the average problem which may con front him out of class. The course in mechan cal drawing has been instrumental in the choice of a vocation for the several students who are now away at colleges and universi- ties. Some of the boys are taking architecture while others have chosen some phase of engineering Favorable reports have been received about the work of these students. MACHINE SHOP PRACTICE. eln the machine shop a boy may soon learn if he has any special talent for that part of the metal workers trade He learns how iron is shaped to work in rotating machinery, to turn, bore and thread on the lathes to plane and slot on the shaper, to drill on the drill p1',ess toe cut gears of all kinds, to cut key way 5 and to mill flat surfaces on the milling machin In the machine shop there are six small lathes which are driven by an over head line shaft.The1'e is one 14- inch lathe which IS driven by an independent mot 01' There are a shaper, a buffer, a power saw, 8 gr rnder, anda d1 111 p1',ess which are driven by another line shaft.The1'e is an independently driven universal milling machine and an air com- pressor There ls a tool room Well- equipped Where all the smaller tools are kept. In the future we hope to have a universal grinder, one more large lathe, another shaper, and a planer It is the business of the machine shop to keep all the school equipment running in first-class shape, make parts for the auto shop, and correlate with all other depart- ments in furnishing them with things needed from the machine shop. PRIN T,ING -In the printing division the student is given instruction in elemen tary and advanced printing, proofreading, drawing, grammar, spelling, capitalization, punctuation, composition, stonework, presswork, and arithmeti tic. The student is also fforded an opportunity of a Mtry- -out in one of the majol lines of vocational life. If the student develops those characteristics so essentially necessary to his success in this line he is encouraged to continue, if not he is advised to seek some other line. While being trained in the technical operations of the trade the students are engaged in the production of all the printing the entire district needs. One of the largest undertakings of the print shop is the printing and binding of the Sea Gullii, our High School Annual. This event is looked forward to each year With a great deal of interest and pleasure by the Students, who count it a special privilege to assist in its publication. We are still hoping that we will be in a position in the very near future to get out a school paper in order that we might create a better spirit in the student body and to maintain community interest in the school by faithfully reflecting its aims and activities. RELATED MATHEMATICS'Related mathematics serves more or less as a clearing house for the four trades taught in high school. Such problems that come up in connection with the printing trade are discussed in the related mathematics class conducted for printers. Those problems that arise in connection with the auto-mechan- ics trade are discussed in the related mathematics class conducted for auto-mechanics. These same conditions prevail for the machine shop and carpentry shop. Strict math- ematical methods are emphasized in the related mathematics classes, which should enable the student to approach his trade with a great degree of accuracy A11 hap- hazard guessing and approximation methods are discouraged. The related mathema- tics classes also make a study of any science connected with their problems, such as Physics, Chemistry, etc. This course serves, in a way, as a laboratory from which a student may derive the mathematical and scientific aspect of his trade. RETAIL SELLING.;Oh anybody can sell. Why do you want to study sales- manship? , some people say But there is more to selling than most people think, Iiow mtiny of the following questions can you answer? Salesmanship students know t em a1 . 1. What should you do and say in applying for a job? 2. How can you develop a pleasing and magnetic personality? How can salesmanship be used in everyday lifee-to make a dategto get to use the car-to borrow five dollars? 4. Why do people buy thingsi7 In what is the boy of 1'7 most interested? The woman of 40'! . What is your type? boyish? athletic? mysterious? home? How can you dress to bring out your type? 6. What are your most becoming colors in dress? rouge? powder? '7 How can you make a small room seem larger? 8. What traffic rules can be applied to placing furniture? 9. What makes an attractive window display? A good advertisement? 10. How does the store manager know what to buy? how much to buy?how much to charge for it? In addition to these and ntany other interesting problems the students are in con- stant touch with the storeseselling there on Saturdays, going for special observation trips during the class period and hav ng different managers talk on store topics. WOODWORKING.-The woodworking division of the Industrial Arts Department is made up of classes in bench work, mill work, carpentry, and lathe work. The hen work classes are largely made up of beginners and students who have not progressed far enough to be admitted to the carpentry, mill work, or lathe work classes. In ad- dition to making any useful articles Which they may need at home the bench work stu- dents work on numerous schools jobs. In the mill work and lathe work shop we have a woodworking shop equipped with the most modern machinery obtainable. The student in mill work can turn out most any article of furniture or mill work that he may desire if he has the mechanical ability The students in mill work not only have the privilege -of making anything they may choose for home use, but they make hundreds of dollars worth of equipment each year for the school system. The girls of the arts and crafts division are supplied with the articles they may need, such as bread boards, placque boards, table lamp frames, floor lamp frames, etc. The lathe students' first Work is a series of exercises, the last two of which are a chisel handle and a mallet. In this way the entire school system is supplied with mal- iets and chisel handles. Many useful articles, such as nut bowls, candle sticksY powder sets, fruit bowls, etc., are made by the lathe students. The carpentry students learn the principles of framing, bracing, bridging, rafter cutting, etc., by building small models of some simple house. Students always watch with keen interest the progress of the model house as it is being built. qua gwwaagz lghgaaiwl EEhucatinn Bepariment The purpose of the Physical Education Department In our high school is to promote good sportsmanw ship, fairness, cooperatiun, unselfishness, and good judgment along with the development of accuracy proper muscular cnordination, and clear thinking.

QRHuait Eaparimmt The Music Department of the Port Arthur High School now offers a three years course with chorus and appreciation, the first year, general course, embracing elemen- tary theory, appreciation and eight singmg, the second year, and history and appre- ciation, the third year The course will be extended through the fourth year, and a two years course in harmony offered whenever the registration demands it. In addition to this course, there are classes in band and orchestra, with class instruction in all band and orchestral instruments. The School Band under the direction of Mr 0. L Lantz competed in the Band Meet at Corsicana, winning second place in the nnn-professional class. This organization gives an annual concert in January, and appears at all football games and other athletic events. The orchestra under the direction of Mr F W Kerns provides music for class plays, commencement and other school programs. The orchestra gives its annual concert in May The Mozart Club was organized in November under the leadership of the class ln history and appreciation, with Miss Edmee Smith, faculty sponsor The club aims to foster an interest in good music, and to give students an opportunity to appear on its programs. Solo and chorus numbers are selected from the class work. Musicians on the high school faculty and Others have been generous in respondmg to requests for programs. Plato realized the importance of musical training when he said The education of heroes shall be gymnastics for the body, music for the mind. Educators everywhere realize today that music is more than an accomplishment, that it is a psychological force and a practical educational asset. Songs and the literature of music are a heri- tage of the race, and music in the school aims to give each person his rightful heri- tage. More than this We all need music because it is a fluent, free, and beautiful form of expression for those deeper impulses of ours which are denied expression by words. tSurettej. , atinrt migtr o CAim Elgnmh nf EEhuwtimt H. 0.

He turned to the buildings, all crumbled and old, And saw some words that seemed as gold To his mind so filled with thoughts both gay and sad, And his facbit changed to the face of a lad. The visions that came consoled his mind And pictured glories undimmed by time. He was thinking of his senior days, And the thoughts of time became a haze Again he saw dear old High,-happiness reigned, Scenes were reviewed with a joy that could never wane. Yes, his thoughts were of happy years That stood before him like a stalk of corn with golden ears.

Qllaee Elietnrg In 1922 A. D. we were exiled from the land of Grammar School. We immediately set sail for the land of Higher Learning The majority of the travelers were inhabi- tants of the nearby provinces, Franklin and DeQueent One morning late in January we sighted land and were piloted t0 the Lake Shore Docks. We got off and started up the concrete side walk to the building of higher education. We were met by a group of sophomores who demanded to see our pass- ports, but not being well organized, they were not able to secure them. We passed on. That morning we were introduced to our taskmasters. The most notable were our English teachers, but they were ably assisted by the history and mathematics in- structors. That day at noon, all of the boys were given their entrance examinations by the upper elassmen. The hardest was being sent through the gauntlet. The girlsl hardest task was mending broken hearts caused by see ng their classmates so cruelly treated, and being snubbed by the upper classmen. Everything rolled along smoothly for eighteen long weeks. Then Mr Carter or- dered that every freshman pay a fine for not studying. The fines were in the form of tests. Many were unable to pay them, so they were sent back to start over again. Those who paid the fines were soon attacked by the English fever That cruel disease almost killed or deformed every member of the class. A wise sophomore sug- gested a tonic-cooperative note book work. The tonic proved to be the righ prescrip- tion, and soon the majority were well. They swore that they would never again take a capsule of midnight oil recommended by the teachers. When the second fine was paid, very few were found lacking So ended our first year of work in the land of higher learning. After reorganizing, we found that we had lost a large number of our classmates, Some had died of sleeping sickness, others were not able to stand the entrance examina- tions, some were unable to pay their fines, and others had quarreled with the rulers. Those that remained immediately began their work on the second year's tasks. Spanish and Latin were also taken up. Spanish being the language of rowance, many of the students exposed themselves to it. Latin, the dead language that Miss Smyth made very much alive, gave some a dlzzy feeling something like the sleeping sickness. We marched on to the land of the h gh sophomores and met the dreaded enemy, Mod- ern European history We finally submitted to hard work and in the spring of l2: we were members of the low junior class. Miss Velma Gilstrap met us at the door every morn ng and began instructing us in the laws of geometry She never stopped until we had mastered that subject. After a pleasant summer vacation we returned to find Mr Davis ruling the high school. As we advanced, the English, Spanish, and mathematics teachers increased our loads, but, as we were hardened juniors, we withstood the courses and in due time completed them. In January 1925, we became known as the senior class. We immed- iately declared independence. It was necessary for us to fight harder than we had ever fought before. The first campaign was led against Generals DeBuSk and Srygley, better known as teachers of the science department. It required exactly thirty-six weeks to conquer these generals. Miss Courtney launched a terrific campaign. She introduced a weapon known a-. Longis English Literature. It came in small boxes, and when opened gave off a gas that often rendered its victims unconscious. After giving us this gas, she let a bat- taliun 0f ULes Miserables machine guns loose on us. This terrific fire drove us to our dugouts, and we were unable to come out until aviators began to drop bombs of hard study These drove the enemy back. Miss Courtney was soon succeeded by Miss Dilworth, who showed that she knew the use of liquid fire or Selections From English Literature. She also used a gun known as graduation essays. The seniors quickly secured the assistance of the library and were able to outfire the gun. MASS Dilworth used a very high powered shell called poetry Her captives were compelled to use the shell and many of them died of shell shock, As the battle began to end, badges were ordered for all of those who had fought nobly and won. There were two soldiers that overcame all attacks with victory and slew the enemy with much ease. These two were crowned valedictorian and saluta- tnrian. Those that died during the attack were mourned by their classmates. On the 25th day of January, 1926, in the Franklin School, the peace treaty was signed by the School Board, and fifty remaining people went out into the work a free and independent people. eHorace Turner truphecg Once upon a time, when I was feeling rather lonely, I wandered in front of a large building. On investigating the sign over the front door, I saw the following: The Crouch Brothersvlnventors. Hoping to see my old classmates, Wiggins and Zeb, I went inside. Sure enough, I met them and after a bit they started talking about their latest invention, the Future- graph. They showed me the way to the room in which they kept the machine, and whom should I meet but their mechanic, Burton Laurentz. I told them I would like to see the future of my classmates; so they started the machine. After the flashing of lights, the growling of gears, the hissing of steam, and the noise of humming motors, a screen appeared at the far end of the room. We saw one of the largest buildings in the world, being constructed by Horace Turner, the constructional engineer Horace was on the thirty-second floor directing four hundred men. Before the scene changed, a four ton milk truck drove up and Nick Ruysenaars got out to deliver milk to Harry Monsur's Confectionery and Banana Stand. The harbor came into view, and Captain Robert Barbay got off the good steamer, Fate, A sandwich man walked by, and after close examination we found that he was Simon Le- Blanc, carrying a sign with the following on it: nSee Pauline Durham, Nellie Long, and Eloise Goodwin in their latest success, The Inseparable Three.' After a short pause, a radio station came in view, and we saw Phil Richard in the operating room, operating one of the largest broadcasting stations in the world. In the studio we saw Ruth Culp playing one of her latest piano compositions. A freight train rumbled by, pulling one hundred and sixty-three cars. On each car, in big letters, we saw the following Fresh Spring Water-It Will Quench Your Thirst. See Carl Gaertner for Your Supply George K. Lomax danced into view, and we found out that he was teaching a new dance, even more popular than the Charleston. We saw Mary Frances Lively, Katherine Holley and Annie Guillot come out of the Progressive University; and after we in- vestigated, we found that they were very prominent teachers at this university An aeroplane came soaring above, and then landed on a modern hotel owned by Gus Carlson and Herbert Richmond. The aviator got out and removed his helmet, and who do you suppose he was? Chris Raguth. The two passengers, Opal Crow and Agnes Matson, got out and went into the hotel. They were saleswomen for Beryl HammIs Dry Goods Store. Ethel Morris, a noted actress, greeted them at the door, and gave each of them a ticket to her latest success, HThe Triumph of the Flapper We saw Elizabeth Young go into a Music School, and we found out that she was the owner One of her most talented teachers was Dorothy Timmins. Fred Schuh passed by on a bicycle, delivering sewing for Edna Mae Perkins' ttSo-So Sewing Shop. A court room flashed into view, and we saw H. S. Singletary as a law- yer, defending Earl Marsh, who had been arrested for using the handkerchief of his English teacher, Hilda Stagg, while at Learn More University Roy Crochet stopped at the window and played on his French harp the latest popular song, composed by Jeanne Sannerens. Emmett Black, being chief-of-police, had to run Roy off for dis- turbing the piece. Opal Hine as Valedictorian 0f the university graduating class, called on the presi- dent and Was met at the door by the famous butler, Earl Friedman. We saw Corinne Moore in a studio, designing covers for a well known magazine. Gertrude Richard and Fannie Peveto passed in a Super-Six Ford Sedan driven by the world renowned chauf- feur, Domingue Matise. Fannie and Gertrude were members of the Senate. Maggie Lee Anderson, and Dorothy Thissel, as great social leaders, hurried by on their way to the TalkAMore-Or-Less Club. We saw Alice Dearing, a well known stenographer, and Pearl York, a famous novelist and poet, leaving for Europe. Just as the machine was preparing to show the future of the low seniors, Willie Bess Bain, Who had the title of Miss America, stepped into the mom with Lanora Thomas, who was secretary for the Crouch brothers. The mechanic being more interested in the girls than in the machine, allowed too much pressure to get into the boiler and I heard an explosion, felt a sensation of rising very high, and then falling back again, then all was darkness, and wellrerethat is all I can remember Emanuel Farmer 311m 0111155 Ansel Walker .

Feeling that we knew all there was to know about subject and predicate and Columbus discovery of America, we were eager to display our knowledge to the upper classmen. In realit y we we re tgreen, l and we were not long in finding 1t out. We were in1t1ated into high school life and dubbed iif sh by our super1 or associates. We were ndiculed from all sldes, but we bravely took up the struggle and determined to make the best of it. We refused to talefe advice from cur fellow students, ft; or we were never sure 0 the real truthi 1n it. had qu u.te a time gettmg situated in the budding We knew arithmetic very well, so we had no trouble 1n readmg the numbers over the doors, but often times we had to travel all through corr1do1s before we found our room1 Some of our members would rush frantically mto a roo m f1nd a seat, and start studying However, to their dismay, they would f1nd that they were in the W1 011g room. Of course they had to gather thei1 belongings up Um no one wanted a ttfish , ands tart an ex pedition in search of the lost room. The rlght room was generally found asfter several such Sdgsaestrous events. of the ambitious members of the class took Latin,wh1le others took Spanish. As they thought it took more bria ns fo1'Lat1n, the La tn students naturally felt big They made it convenient to mention Latin ph1ases while w thin hearing d1stance of the seniors for they felt so educated. tlt may be well to mention that the seniors rarely recognized the lang 11a e After go1ng through a hard struggle that was filled with pitfalls here and there, we graciously entered into our sophomme year This was a rewa1d 1011 our hard strug- gle, we were in our seventh heave e.n We eagelly joined the juni ors and seniors in then game, and resolved to give all forthcoming fish a sample of what We had ene dured. To be sure we were forced to buy hats larger than usual, for our heads swelled considerably Some of our members lost all them ambition and energy while strugglmg through the freshmen year, and they gradually dropped out. We we1e sorry to see the brave friends who had fought with us leave, but we that did remain made considerable progress. We were so studious that we soon climbed another in the ladder of knowl- edge and became juniors. It was 1n our junior year that the members of our class began to blossom forth. We were overjoyed with the 1ea1. let on thatw we were 1ivals of the sen 015. Our class gradually grew in iiopularity, and the most popular boy of the school during that year was elected from t e Jumor class We entered into athlet1cs and vaiions other school activities. We rea lly began our work earnestly, for we were eagerly looking forward to the forthcoming yea r On ne of the most memorable days in our school He was September 21,1925. We were in full bloom! We were seniors! What a grand and glonous feeling 1 We im- mediately felt our superiority and resolved to 11. aka our class the finest senior class in the history of P A. H. S. We have truly endeavored to fulfill th. 5 resolution. Never before has the school had such cooperation from the ten or class. Wea ethe leaders, we have realized our duty and have tried to be an examp1e by obeying the schaol rules. From the 1926 class we1e elected Tthe most popular sludents of the en ile s h 01, whose pictures go in the 'Se ea Gu ll syears School beauty ha 1: 110 11 the senior c ass Several of the popular membersT of the 1925 football team, and the majority of the baseball boys are from our ran 5. e class certainly needs commendation for its cooperation between the members We have enjoyed the privilege of be ng in one big home room, and this has allowed us to discuss all our plans and problems toget er member of the class has begun to real la the joys of school days the joys of those days made happy by the work, help and int rest of our principal and teachers. We shall never forget the r loyalty We w1ll leaxe P A. H. S. with a pang of regret, but UAs all thmgs c011 e e1the1' first 01' last, These memories w1ll rise from 0111' past And haunt us through our future years, Will make us joyful, and bring tears. But through all life, the friendly name of P A. H. S. to us will be the same, Frnphetg I was on the verge of casting away my boyhood ideas and taking part in the battle of life when the thought of my former school mates entered into my mind. For nearly a year I had not seen any of my fellow graduates with the exception of Robert Balzer- sen, an inventor of vast renown. He had informed me of a marathon plane which could invade the innermost portions of the world. Robert was contemplating a super trip on the morrow to lands unknown, and upon his urgent requests to accompany him, I accepted. The next morning the plane was in readiness for our perilous journey in quest of a new land, namely, the Arctic Paradise. After many days of painstaking travel, We lost all hope of discovery, and chances for our personal safety were fast vanishing We were in the grip of terrific winds and gales, and beneath, the ice fields offered no escape from our dangerous position. With the suddeness of a flash of lightning, our environment changed from a vast snow desert to that of fields of corn with buildings and homes in the background. Surely this is the Arctic Paradise , I told my partner After finding a landing place I asked an old man about this marvelous territory The zenith of astonishment Was realized by me when he introduced himself as Cecil Davis. He told me of this mystic paradise and 0f the unique territory which bore the name of New Texas, where all my fellow graduates were living. He told me that the time in the Arctic was advanced forty years, which accounted for his elderliness. We re-ascended the plane in view of the fact that we could then clearly see the circumstances of our former mates. The message of success was heralded to us when I saw the city of New Port Arthur, rivalling New York in commerce. Of all the large buildings in the metropolitan district, one was conspicuous to the eye. It was a huge building in the heart of the city, and upon investigating I found it was the new ttPilot Building Upon further investi- gation I saw an old maid who was editor-invchief of the uPilot'L-it was none other than Louise Graves. Carl Kramer and Milledge Bonham, formerly high school journalists and now wealthy newspaper editors, financed the building We emerged from that vision: to one concentered on the new Strand-?eoples Theatres under the management of Charles Collins. Among those in the audience were Byrd Brannon and Horace Majors, retired bootleggers. I knew it was a good show if they attended, so I investi- gated. I saw a clown with wide rimmed glasses performing that nith C. Watkins himself. As I expected, I saw Franklyn Cox and Howard Carson, professional violin- ists, on the same program. Eugenia Jakowicz was the promising ticket lady As we were en our way out of town, we saw a deserted village which was Beau- mont. Its most promising citzens were Lionel Lemaire and Quentin Keith, the latter being sole owner of the Enterprise, a weekly paper 0n and on the dirigible traveled, taking us throughout the New U S. A. In Houston we saw John Bammert, a second Paul Whiteman, leading an orchestra of great repute. An aeroplane flivver was Writing cigarette ads in the sky The sheer boldness of its acts induced me to determine its pilots. I saw Orval Jones and Herbert Gillard still arguing on the Child Labor Amendment. They were under the employ of Harry Lee Woodall, a successful trans- portation agent. We saw a large crowd of people on the street corner The cause of the excitement was attributed to a great political campaign for Governor of New Texas between Ansel Walker and Ralph Ward. As we proceeded nerthward we saw Clarence Decoux, Alvin Dalton, Herman Mazur, and Mary Louise Francis w th h.ghly polished shoes. W hen I noticed them coming out a shcp with a s.gne Leenard Walton, Inven- tor of the Mystic Shine, I realized why their shoes were in such condition. 0n the next corner I saw Fred Seiblitz taking a n.ckel out of his pocket and giving to a hobo, Frank Chambers. Among the crowd that gathered around the old man were Allie Mae Landry, Jeanette Tenney, Lucille Breaux, and Irma Harding. As the air ship traveled onward we saw Ellis Greg, Ruth McFarland, Mary Meyers, and Norma Dell Clayton enter an office in a village. I felt sorry for them for they entered the office of Dr Vaught, a reckless physician. Upon reashing a large city we saw a huge pageant with Ferol Winfree, Maggie Bennett, and Lillie Mae Tomlinson as attendants to the beauty queen, Olsey Eddingston, with the man of her choice, Carl Corbett. Iris Smith, Dotsey Frensley, and Laura Leggett, noted authorities on beauty, were teaching Maurine Campbell the essentials necessary to become a successful flap- per Three old men were seen whittling sticks in front of an old country store, they were Harold Goodwin, Taylor Cochran, and Lloyd Gautreaux, of Quality Drug Com- pany fame, still adherents t0 loafing Willie Leffingweil, the exalted czar 0f trackdom was training Atlie Bertrand and Mary Lanclos to gain weight. Mark Painton, the new golf champion of the Artic, was driving Aileen Peckham and Ruth Swan to church, where Ellis Redford, a relation of Billy Sunday, and Elizabeth Smith, an evangelical missionary direct from India, were holding a special service. In the choir I recognized Christine Badgett, Lyra Mae McKinney, and Winnie Lou White. Mary Ann Ickert, ten times elected bathing beauty of America, was walking with Ethel Morris and Aileen Hudson, exponents of bridge. Maurine Sutherlin, wealthy club woman, had in her employ Rudelle Weeren, a secretary who made love to the movie hero, Wendell Dunham. Rita Darce, Mary Lois Palmer, Virginia Beard, and Selina Rivers composed a troupe wh,ch sang with the Salvation Army under the leadership of William Anawaty and George Sutherland. Bug medicine, fifty cents a quart , were the words uttered by Angus McDonald on a crowded street corner Alfred Sherwood and Norman Castanie were the manu- 1acturers of this great medicine. Walter Emmons, dean of a great university, was spied talking to Louis Ashy, Professor of English, and Sybil Power, the poetess. A sign on the back of Vincent Mazzara advertised a big omens under the management of Preston Haynes, and his assistant, Era Rayford. Shouts and crys were heard in the distance, and upon investigating, I found its cause was due to a debate with Eva Urie and Rosemary Stiehl against Ora Lee Storm and Ermyn Prothro 0n the subject t'Can a catfish purr? Clara Rogers, Lelia Cappel, Martha Gibson, and Maude Riche, prom- inent members of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Crawfish suppressed the debate on the grounds that it humiliated fish to become entangled in disputes with women. Bernice Carter, Josephine Houseman, Alpha Trahan, and Bernice Trahan, writers for the Hot Dawgii, were in conference with Edna Griffith and Louise Erwin, the owners of the magazine, an the subject of editing it daily on account of its great demand. Samuella Vidrine and Willie Youngblood were in the waiting room applying for jobs ultis all overh, said Robert, as he headed the plane back toward our accustomed world. Lingeringly I viewed the scene as it rapidly faded from sight. uKamal Antone. ?Eufn $211M Officers Home Room Presid ent Vice-President Secret ar 11 Cora Glasgow Edward Hunt Margaret McGrory M119 Paul Button Wilbourne Hamm Minnie Ruth Edge ROLL M111'Marion Badge , Merke!

H. S. is the recently organized Girls Club. This club was formed with thirty-five charter members of the junior and senior classes and is a preliminary organization to the Girl Reserve Club, into which the existing organization will form before the close of school. The G. R's will be affiliated with the national Y W C. A. and will have as their purpose the furtherance of a democratic spirit and high ideals in P A. H. S. This organization corresponds to the boys' Hi-Y, with which it cooperates in the promotion of the spiritual, physical, intellectual, and social Welfare of the boys and girls throughout the schooL Since this is the first organization of its kind to be instituted in the school, it is doing much to create and maintain pep and loyalty The G R's, with the Hi-Y, Will undoubtedly be of increasing service in the future by supporting their school in all its undertakings. The girls of the high senior class, who were most influential in the founding of this organization, leave it to the school as an expression of their highest ambitions and ideals. They challenge their successors to hold high the torch which they have lit that their dreams may not vanish unrealized.

At the first meeting of the Boys Booster Club this year, the name of the organization was changed to the Razzers Club. The club met every Monday afternoon in the auditorium and dis- cussed matters pertaining to activities planned for the coming football games. The Razzers were conspicuous on the football side lines due to their gold colored shirts. Small megaphoues with the school colors on them enabled the rooters to deli- ver their cheers more effectively Between halves during several football games, the entire club marched on the field and demonstrated their yells. The loyal support given the team by the club was shown when the entire club Was present at the Beaumont game, despite the continuous downpour of rain. During the football season, the Raz- zers led the remaining part of the student body in cheers and yells for the team. At times the club marched down Procter Street in the downtown district before a game and reminded the town people of the advent of the gridiron contest. Much pub- licity was afforded both the school and team by the demonstrations of the club this yearn The club met with much success due to the good support given it by the boys of the Ansel Walker Thurston Goodwin H. S. Singletary,,, school. Besides its activities pertaining to athletics, several dances were given under its sponsorship. The unusual headway gained this year by the Razzers was materially influenced by the advice of Mr Kelley DeBusk, sponsor of the club The progress attained by the Razzers of 1925 will be fully rewarded by its continuation next year Members Ansel Walker, Algernon Chaisson, Arsey Borne, Arthur Dixon, Alfred Morean, Alfred Sherwood, Alivs Bradberry, Alvis Davis, Byrd Brannon, Bonner Brazziel, Bob Canada, Carl Corbett, Clifford Simms, Curley Warren, Carlos Sartain, Clyde Hawsey, Dannie Byl'am, Darnell Wills, Dean Blanton, Eustace Lumbley, Elmer Bryant, Elli: Bedford, Jim Ellender, James Cole, Leonard Walton, Lloyd Gautreaux, McRade Womack, Melvin Weiner, Milledge Bonham, Morris Gillman, Milton Barrio, Nathan Wilson, N.

The Yellow Jacket Girls fairly radiated spirit and vitality They were all there at each game with their famous colorful costumes of maroon skirts and yellow jackets and maroon fezzes with tassels, cheering and en- couraging the team to do greater work. Their purpose was to support the football team in every possible way, and they succeeded admirably The girls, to a certain extent, furnished the entertainment for the team, by giving dances after every game. Among the members who entertained with dances after the games were Aline Hudson, Rebecca Reed, Elizabeth Imhoff, and Mary Mae Guidry These entertained at the Department Club and their homes. A dance was also given after the South Park game at the Department Club. During the Galveston game a football made of yellow daisies was presented to the team. A dance by the Yellow Jacket Girls and Razzers Club followed that night at the Gulf Club.

Realizing that the school needed some oresniistion to give training In collecting and publishing ac. counts uf high school news, the school officials authorized the introduction this year of a course in journ. alism in our curriculum.

The play was coached by Miss Ruth Knox, instruc- tor in public speaking, whose able direction of the play contributed largely to its success. The cast was chosen after a strenuous tryeout in which practically all members of the class took part. Earl Marsh was chosen as our hero, Rodney Martin, son of the rich and grouchy soap king, Cyrus Martin, played by Hnrace HWarhurse Turner Phil Richards played the part of Ambrose Peale, a very up-to-date advertising man. Elizabeth Young was the typical, beautiful, heroine who was stenographer to the soap king Ethel Morris was the adventuress, who disguised as a countess and tried to swindle Mr Martin and his son. Emanuel Farmer played the part of an old family friend of Rodney's. H. S. Singletary played the part of the conceited, English type, son of Mr Clark, Mr Cyrus Martin's rivalt George K. Lomax played the part of a hut headed Irish advertising agent. Earl Friedman was the butler 0f the Martins. Edna Mae Perkins was the office girl for Mr Rodney Martin. Beyrl Hamm was Mr Martin's French maid. Emmett Black was Mr Robert Bronson from Marshal Fields. The stage furniture was borrowed from the Vaughan Furniture Company DOVEIS furnished the clothing for the male members of the cast. George K. Lomax was pro- perty man. Emanuel Palmer and Carl Gaertner were ticket sales managers. Emmett Black and Zeb Crouch were the advertising managers. Burton Lawrence and Cris Raguth were the electrisians.

Watkins Cora Glasgow HISTORY OF THE RHO PSI RHO Some two thousand years ago a great navigator of Greece set forth upon a peri. lous journey This was none other than the great Hypotenuse. With a small band of men he set sail on the vast Mediterranean Sea to find a new land. After many weeks of weary travel, land was finally sighted. Just at this moment, however, a ter- rible storm arose and smote the ship in all its fury The first terrific gust of wind carried away the only mast and all of the sailors except Hypotenuse and Psi Chology into the sea. Hypotenuse instantly seized the helm and shouted at the top of his voice, ltRho, Psi, Rho! Psi Chology seized a pair of oars and struggled against the raging sea until it seemed the cars would snap under the strain. The veins stood out on his arms like cords and his lungs seemed as if they would burst. Finally, however, with Hypotenuseis careful steering and. Psi Chologyis rowing, the ship was moored safely in a rockrbound harbor Thus a new land was found for Greece. After the storm was over, Hypotenuse and Psi Chology leaped off the ship and swam to shore. On reaching the shore they knelt down and gave thanks to the gods for their protection. The shout uRho, Psi Rho! which had so aroused Psi Chology that he was able to row the ship safely in harbor, they determined to make a motto throughout all Greece. On their return to Greece, these two brave men became national heroes. An honor society for heroes was immediately formed, called the Rho Psi Rho. Its first officers were Hypotenuse, Grand Psigher, and Psi Chology, Grand Rhoar This society has continued to grow to the present day, though confined to Greece. A few years ago, however, Alfred Sherwood made a trip to Europe, and while in Greece he discovered this society Believing the idea to be a good one, on his return he founded in Port Arthur High School the first lodge of the Rho Psi Rho in the United States. Members were limited to those who had distinguished themselves in some way in the high school life of Port Arthur This organization is rapidly spreading in high schools over the country and the time is not far off when the highest honor one can receive while in high school will be a membership in the Rho Psi Rho. Elanaiurg of 5221 031111 The name Sea Gull is peculiarly appropriate to the annual of Port Arthur High School, for it is possible at almost anytime to look out over the canal back of the school and see scores of sea gulls, those most graceful creatures of the air It has been the goal of the successive staffs to give to their Sea Gull something of the beauty and grace of the bird for which it was named. The itSea Gull is still young in years, just as everything in Port Arthur is young. It has no long history to look back upon for inspiration and pride. But the few issues of the uSea Gull Which have gone before have made our path smoother, so that we are able to hold up our annual as a thing of beauty and an object of pride. What we lack in pedigree we try to make up in quality Each nSea Gull has embodied some improve, ment over the one before it, so it is only natural to expect this book for 1926 to be the best that Port Arthur High School has yet put out. As we have said above, the ttSea Gull is comparatively young The class of 1912 put out the first ttSea Gull. Of course, we are inclined to feel amused at this annual, but we must remember that the seniors of 1912 had a much harder time than we have in putting out an annual. They had to begin at the beginningito break the ice, as it were. They had no precedents and history to fall back upon. Everything was new, and they were inexperienced. They did wonderfully well in overcoming the difficulties and obstacles which were thick in their path. We must remember, too, the immense debt we owe to these ambitious students of this class. They laid the foundation for the road along which we now travel; Each succeeding year has added a layer of clay and gravelimetaphorically speakingiwhich has done much to improve it and make it possible for the following class to go just a little farther along the road. So we have gone a little farther than any class thus far, but we attribute this fact not to our own superior ability, but to the aid which the classes of the last fourteen years have given us. We hope that we have made it possible for the senior class of next year to carry the torch a little further along the road than we have done, and by doing se we have paid part of our debt to those who have blazed the trail for us. A history of the uSea Gull would be incomplete without Some mention of the wonderful cooperation which the seniors have received each year from the school board, the superintendent, the principal of high school, and the high school teachers. All of these have, by their help and advice, made it possible for the nSea Gull to be put out. During the last few years the uSea Gullil has been printed and bound and, with the exception of linotype composition and engraving work, entirely got out by the High School Print Shop. Mr Babb and Mr Winfree deserve special mention for their earn- est work on the annual. The boys and girls in the shop have also spent a great deal of time and energy on the ttSea Gull , sometimes working at night to get it out on time We have gratefully received the Work of our predecessors, and we have endeavored to keep rolling the ball which they so laboriously started. May those who take our places use our work as a stepping-stone to a higher and better plane-to a nSea Gulll that will soar ever upward and onward. git i4 xxxgkix: , gge5eogufr 22:, I 91 2 , L J :17 V mu mm mm ammo: UM!

This was the morning an excited bunch of seniors were going on their class picnic It had rained all night long and was misty that morning Phil Richards, HBubba Fried- man and George K. Lomax, in Phil 5 coupe collected must of the girls and two hours later than was expected we left town. Our arrival at Beaumont was rather a noisy one. We gave all our class yells and songs with much force. Phil Richards followed the truck in his emergency Cheve coupe. Although there were no accidents, the coupe was never idle. We started to buy ice cream in Beaumont, but we decided to wait and buy hamburgers 0n the way back. We arrived at Village Creek about 11.30 olclock, and we prepared for a good time. Lunch was prepared and served by the girls while the boys chased pigs and played ball. At lunch it was grab 0r Catch What You Can. After lunch the boys played football against the girls. A number of other ukid games were playe The site chosen for our picnic was very beautiful and proved a fitting setting for the one grand event of senior life. On the return trip we nearly froze, but. we had a good time. The picnic was chaperoned by Miss Patience Lumpkin and Mr Lynden Sherrill. JUNE SENIOR CLASS PICNIC Clang! Rrrrr-rr-r-r-r-r--up! Groans, sighs, and strange noises filled the early morning air as alarm clocks were turned off in ninety-eight Port Arthur homes somewhere around four oiclock Friday morning, April 30. It was the day of the senior picnic, and soon students from the four corners of Port Arthur began to gather at the high school. Two huge trucks with trailers attached were waiting, and an early start to Barber's Camp was made But alas! before the pilgrims had proceeded far upon the journey, the occupants of truck number one discovered that all of the provisions were stored on their truck. Some forty odd seniors immediately lost their dignity in the plundering and pillaging that ensued. Before Miss Palmer could be summoned to stop them more than half of the eats were gone. Ma rk Painton got his hand caught in a tin candy box and cut it badly trying to pull it out.Afte11 the injured member had been patched up in Beau- mont, the rest of the trip proved uneventful. 0n arriving at Barbers Camp, everyone disembarked and tried to find something to do. As Mr. Davis had ordered ttno swimming or boat- riding , various games opened up and nearly all of the boys joined in. Several had planned to go fishing, but were disappointed to learn that the season did not open until the next day The girls walked through the woods played on the sand- bar, and took pictures. Later on in the morning those who had lost in the games started a baseball game, and many of the girls, as well as the boys, proved fine players. John Bammert distinguished himself by knocking a home run into the distant fores t About noon the girls announced that dinner was ready, and in the stampede to the tables several were injured. Altho ugh the seniors on the first truck hade aten mos t of the food on the way out, there was plenty left for everyone. Mr Sherrill established :1 new record for eating, and even little Atlie Bertrand proved himself a storehouse or food. As soon as dinner was over, a party of intrepid explorers, headed by Ralph Ward, struggled through the thickets in search of anything They found a new sandebar about a half mile up the creek and spent the afternoon wading and playing in the sand. Those who remained at camp enjoyed themselves in various ways, such as sleeping, jumping rope, telling stories, and playing sidewalk tennis. Taylor Cochran and Cecil Davis proved champions at the latter, defeating all comers. Mr Barber, a regular old fiddler, entertained with several old time tunes. He tried to prevail upon Dotsey Frensley and Lloyd Gautreaux to dance, but they refused. About four oiclock stragglers began to come in from all parts of the woods. As it was getting late, Miss Palmer and Miss Courtney decided that it was time to go, so everyone grabbed his belongings and dived for a good place on the truck. Mr Barber came out to tell everyone goodbye, declaring that he had never seen lta better bunch of kids Some three hours later the trucks rolled into Port Arthur, carrying a tired and sleepy high senior class, and it was all over until next year Ag x, X 1i Mitt N1 11; i! ml U N! $l WXKV x.

During the first half, Morgan, Prejean, Iglesias, and Butaud made many good gains, but the Shreveport line held them at the most critical moments. Altoni Manning dis- located a knee cap during the second quarter Hanna, Shereveport quarterback, made many gains during the second half. The invaders carried the ball within twenty yards of the goal twice, and they tried for a field goal both times Hanna carried the ball over for a touchdown, he failed to make the extra paint.

Miss Vernon Dilworth Mr- Raymond Winfree ponsor Printer We owe a deep debt of gratitude to Miss Dilworth, Who has most generously helped and worked with the uSea Gull staff. To her is due in a great measure the success of the Sea Gull , she has revised and corrected material, seen that the material was coming in on time, and in innumerable other ways has done much for our annual. We are glad that Port Arthur High School has a teacher who is as willing to assist us as she is and to take such an interest in her position. Here's to Miss Dilworth, our spon- sor! May she never regret her Work on the uSea Gull. We take this means of thanking the man who has given so freely of his time and energy to put out this book;Mr. Winfree. He has worked with the staff and advised them about the printing and type. Without his help the staff could not have succeeded in putting out this annual. Although thanks and gratitude are all we have to offer him for this work, we certainly do have a lot of these for Mr Winfree and the print Among the boys in the print shop, there are four who deserve special mention and to whom we owe special thanks and praise for their faithfulness in working overtime on the Sea Gull. They made it possible to prim our annual in a much shorter time than would otherwise have been required. We thank heartily Carluss Sarlain. Dean Blanton. Hillman Hoffpauir. and Alfred Turner for their valued services, imp agilgri m1! agrngmaa Scareely a year ago when we set out upon a road seemingly bordered with flowers and traveled so easily by our predecessors-little did we realize or foresee that just around a curve the road narrowed and became rocky and rugged filled with pitfalls and bordered with thorns, and neither did we know that it was infested with numerous bands of bold and lawless nomad bandits who lay 1n wait for the wandering and hesi- tating unfo1tunates who t1avel the road each yeax, to rob them of their confidence and resources and to reduce them to bleak despair Our hearts bleed for the pilgrims, poor hapless innocents, martyrs to the cause, who are to follow the path which we have just trod-fighting side by side the bandits who infested our way, helping one another to regain solid ground after having floundered deeply into the slough of despond or hav- ing skidded off the right path. Many times have we slumpe ed by the roadside after a hard days struggle, gasping for the water of advice and encouragement, only to be swooped upon by the hideous monster called the junior pictures, or advertisements, etc., before the spring could be reached, Dear Friends We are thankful for the good swords and armor provided us tnamely our stafft that have enabled us to conquer the foresaid monsters and the robbers who menaced us on our weary journey But hurray! Its all over now Lthe Pearly Gates are reached and we have lived through it, battle- scarred and toughened but happy nevertheless, and really wiser for the experiences. We say good by with regret that may we be in P A. H. S. no longer Signed Alfred McCallum Sherwood, Editor Angus McDonald, Business Manager The journalism class has written a great Heal of the material for the ttSea Gull and we wish to express our sincere appreciation of all the work they have done on the annual, and to hope that they will feel repaid by the excellence of the book on which they have labored so earnestly To Mary Meyer, Elizabeth Smith, Rudelle Weeren, Maurine Campbell, Ellis Greig, and George K. Lomax, Jr., we are particularly grateful for their very generous con- tribution of time and effort The faculty have cooperated with the staff in a wonderful way, and we want them to know that we appreciate the many courtesies which they have shown us We es- pecially thank Mr Sims, Mr Davis and the clerical force, Miss Tenney, Miss Post, and Miss Foster, they have worked with us, advised us, typed the material for the Imo- typists, sold HSea Gulls and helped us in countless other ways.
