Page 15 THE QUAH1 GP 1927 My Beloved Old Shoes CSONNETD Old shoes, how I hate to throw you away, But you by new shoes were replaced this day. Wlaen placed by your side they brightly shine, But I for you shall continue to repine. You took me through cold days, bad rains and snowg I will remember you always, I know. You lasted well, but now you're 'most goneg To you I never could do a great wrong. When you were new I wlalked with greatest care, As I wished not your lovely skin to tear. But now you have a shoe's brief life well lived, And must your place unto another give. I shall always grieve for you and sigh, When I, dear shoes, to you must say goodbye. -Helen lVomack.

Now, we greet thee, Now, we hail thee: You with your blessings of Sunshine and flowers, Spring, now we welcome thee! Yet in our gladness, Cur thoughts turn to sadness. For in the Maytime Our farewell must be. Friends to our life We must now go with offerings, On, and on, in the strife for the right. Sweet mem'ries linger, Dear old school of ours. Gladdening our hearts through many long hours: Thoughts of the time that We spent in your halls, Happy and full of joy. Then comes the thought that the future holds fast Some of the happiness of the past. So we can sing with a lilt in our voice, Goodbye old Quanah Hi.

Senior Class of '27 Every Freshman looks forward to the time when he will be a Senior: for who has not seen this contrast-a proud, lordly Senior passing by, and a timid, shrinking, Freshman standing aside, watching with envious eyes, knowing that his day would come? Only those who have been Freshmen can understand the feelings of these Freshmen. The Senior Class of '27 has looked forward for three years to its last year: that is, ever since the day when we came to Quanah High School as little Freshmen, feeling even smaller than we looked. We soon became Sophomores with a greater knowledge of high school life. Our junior year brought with it many happy events. We were often asked by the Seniors to assist in some of their undertakings, and they asked us many times our advice as to something concerning them. Ah! They knew that we were soon to occupy the place they then held. The year went swiftly by, and now we find ourselves the Seniors of Quanah High School with graduation near. This Senior Class is the largest in the history of Quanah High School. May the high school ambitions of each member be fulfilled in the later years of his life. For some of us, school days may end forever with high school commencement: some will enter collegeg a few of us, at the least, we trust, will receive college degrees: each has an important part to play in the life that is before him: but in whatever role our lives are cast, the association as classmates in Quanah High School will ever remain -'Alike sunlit isles of memory dotting the River of Time, -HELEN WOMACK.

On one hand were the Young Hopefuls, fresh and eager for the fray, lined up at the library door receiving weapons for the coming fight, and awaiting the signal to march out to battle with the three monsters. ln the clash that followed a number was knocked out and so overcome by lndolence that they were unable to renew the light. The following year those who did not fall in the first contest, having aspired to the heights of Sophomoredom, returned and took up different arms against the enemy. With these came new adherents to the cause to try their fortunes in wars and rescue Knowledge. The Held of battle was a hard one with lines and lines of Latin, Spanish, algebra, English and history to overcome. Since we have had all these difliculties confronting us and since the path to success is a hard one, it is a remarkable occurrence that so many have survived: but how wonderfully we worked our way on until this year, we stand- seventy-ive well equipped Juniors, a splendid example for coming juniors. We are leaving a record of which we can be proud. The struggle this year has been particularly hard, but only a few have given up. Some of these were not properly armed in the beginning and were not in good condition, so they fell at the hands of Frivolity: others were exhausted by lndolence, while still more were trampled down by the grim monster, Ignorance, who was constantly stalking among us. In spite of all this, never has there been and never can there be such a successful class, and we are bravely hoping that when we make ready for battle next year, we may be able to keep our banner flying just as high as ever and that the honorable judges will reward us with a hard- earned diploma. I-Iere's to the Juniors of H. S. May they ever be happy and always progress. MARY LEE HAMPTON.

Our goal then was A'Sophomoredom. With the aid of Captain Davis, Lieutenant Thurmond and several other pilots and pilotesses, the most of us reached our destina- tion in due time. Those Who did not reach A'Sopho- moredom got so sea-sick with Latin vocabularies, history reports, English themes, science notebooks, and factoring in mathematics, that they fell over- board and never got on our ship again. Now since our ship has reached A'Sophomore- dom, We are on our way to 'Aclunior City, which does not seem very far away. Just how many will remain on board, resisting all things, is not yet determined. MARGARET NEAL.

We had come from all parts of the surrounding country. There were so many of us that we were some time getting acquainted with one another, but in a few days, by vigorous efforts, we had our great class excellently organized. Our advisors were Miss Robert Rae Cornelius and Mr. John O'Dell Morgan, Later Miss Lona Vestal took Mr. Morgan's place. After Christmas our enrollment was increased twenty- two more students. These boys and girls came from the Travis School. Our rapidly rising enrollment gave us the Freshman spirit for action and fun. Soon we had our first Freshman party planned, and it proved to be a great success. The Senior Carnival was the next event in which the Freshmen took part. We supported a pretty booth, due to the efforts of two girls, of whom the Freshman Class is proud. We made a good profit and were glad to give it to the Seniors. Now we are striving to get through the turbulent waters of Freshmendom so as to be prepared for what may come our way when we reach Sophomoredom.

Page 48 THE QUAH1 OF 1927 The Debating Club The Debating Club was organized early in the year under the sponsorship of Miss Johnson. The purpose of this Club was to develop a team to represent Quanah in the County and District lnterscholastic League meets. The question for debate was: Resolved, That a Federal Department of Education Should Be Established With la Secretary in the President's Chair. ln the elimination contest for the boys, the affirmative side was upheld by John Quisenberry and Plasco Moore, while the negative side was upheld by Bob Austin and Arthur Wey. Plasco Moore and Arthur Wey were chosen to represent the school in the contests. The boys' team defeated Paducah twice in practice debates, but the girls had no practice debates, owing to the fact that neighboring towns did not have a girls' team. There were no opponents in the County, and both teams represented Quanah at the lnterscholastic meet at Childress. The girls lost to Vernon. The boys defeated Paducah and Childress, and met Memphis in the finals, After a close debate, the Quanah boys lost to Memphis by a 2-l vote, but they received medals for winning second place.

The Literary Lassies Club was organized in 1925 by a group of high school girls who were interested in the best of literature. The purpose of the club Was, and is, to share and increase the enjoyment of literature of the best authors. Modern poetry, short stories, and occasionally great masterpieces of art, form the basis of interesting bi-monthly programs. The Constitution and By-laws, adopted by the club, provide that the meetings shall be conducted according to regular parliamentary procedure. This year there are fifteen members, with Miss Lillian Johnson as sponsor. In March of this year the Club became a member of the Texas Federated Women's Clubs.

At these meetings interesting pro- grams are rendered bearing on the work of the class. The second and third year classes have subscribed for a Spanish newspaper which teaches the current use of the language. The class room has been decorated with interesting posters representing Spanish life or uses of the beautiful language. The first party was a Halloween party given at the home of Miss Jessie Bumpass. The house was decorated with Halloween colors and all guests came masked and dressed in gay cos- tumes. Games and music were enjoyed in the early evening, then delightful refreshments were served. El Ibanez was organized October 15, 1926. Its more enjoyable, to create a sympathy for the different outlook on life. Each member agreed to pay ten cents expenses of entertainments. The six classes make up the In February another party was given in the Domestic Art rooms of the High School. This also was a costume partv and the general plan of a Spanish tavern was carried out in decoration, table arrangement, and food. Two plays, several Spanish songs, and national hymn of Mexico were given by members of the club. Four candidates, Elizabeth Holcomb, Clyde Young, Letha Fae Womack and Muriel Hughes were initiated. The club had a very attractive and interesting booth in the Senior Carnival. Four Spaniards furnished music and sold Mexican candy to the visitors. The final and crowning event of the year will be a banquet to be given some time before the close of school.

THE QUAH1 OF 1927 -huns---ft' QUEEN BETHA Of the House of Fairless The Senior Carnival On Saturday night, March 5th, Quanah High School witnessed one of the most interesting events of the High School season, when Betha of the House of Pairless was crowned queen of the Senior Carnival. The queen was attended by her ladies in Waiting, who laid beautiful bouquets at the feet of her Majesty. The carnival, which was held both Friday and Saturday, was one of the most successful ever held here by the seniors of the school. Each class and organization in Quanah High School was represented by a booth cleverly dec- orated to attract the eye of the people. The proceeds from the carnival were used for the publication of the l927 annual. HELEN WoMACK. Page T1-115 QUAH1 OF 1927 Page 55 The Eleventh Hour The Senior play, HThe Eleventh Hour, was given at the Texan Theater Tuesday night. It was very entertaining and was enjoyed by all. lt was a four-act mystery play and full of comedy through- out. HEighting Tim, the Bootblack, was played by Jean Rodgers, and Martha Gilliland took the part of Kate, the street waif. They were the main attrac- tions, While Oran Edwards, as Sam, the negro porter, furnished most of the comedy, and he never did learn to masticate the English language, Arthur Wey, as Percy Goldstein, the villain, played the the part so well that one would think he was a real villain. Mirandy and Sy Perkins from Smokey Val- ley did not like the city so well and were very happy when they found their lost son. Helen Womack as Mrs. Brandenburg and Mrs. Rutherford as Abraham Goldstein played their parts exceptionally well.

A .. asm .a vi A Football '27 Jack COX has been the old stand-patter of our football squad this year. Jack was captain and often called signals. He was small, but a man. Jack was mentioned as all-state quarterback and deserved it. We all wish that Jack would study harder and go on in athletics and life to bigger and better things. Quanah had one of the best coaches this year in Dell Morgan that it could have had. Dell was boss on the field and your best friend off the field. We all Wish that We could get him back next year. JACK COX, Captain, Quarterback-138 pounds. Four-year man. Jack is second to none as a football man for his size. CHARLES COOK, Guard-160 pounds. An all-American guard. Cook's first year is his last. He graduates, but he certainly learned to hit 'em hard in one season. DALE DAVIS, Halfbaclz-160 pounds. A first-year man. Davis is on his way to success if he doesn't stop and start backing up. He was one of the best ground gainers ever developed in one season. DAN DAUGHTRY, Left End--l25 pounds of bone and muscle and Irish Wit and temper. Sticks was small, but he is old in his experience as a football player. Sticks came up from the ranks of mascot. VICTOR DUNLAP, Right Tackle--160 pounds, hard hitting tackle. Vic stopped more than his share of off-tackle plays. He came to us from Trinity High. We thank Trinity for giving us that mian and hope they send us some more as good as he. Page 58 THE QUA1-11 OF 1927 J. C. PRAZER. Quarterback-l4O pounds. Vxfords cannot express the praise that is to be said of Blow Torch. He is a man already and is going upward to that goal, 'ASuccess. ln him we have one of the best athletes ever turned out of H. S. MARVIN KLEPPER, Left Tackle-l85 pounds. Klepper was just too large for the company of the rest of the boys of the team. He hit so hard that he helped make up the loss in size of the smaller players. Klepper will make some team a giant some day in football and another real man for the World. JOHN NEAL, Right Tackle-l55 pounds. John is another one of the Neals that has added glory to H. S. as athletes and students. He upheld the standard with his wit and manly ways. JEAN RODGERS, Left End-l8O pounds. Jean tried hard to be the best in the line. He played end and played it well. MILLER SMITH, Center-145 pounds. Miller developed into one of the best first-year centers ever on a football field. We hope he will stay another year and show his real ability. B. B. WELBORNE. Right Endf-150 pounds of speed and determination. We expect the army to offer B. B. a price to play the position of right end for them next year and it is known that he is good enough. FRENCH BROOKS, Halfback-130 pounds, French is almost too handsome to play football, but he will develop into one of the best halfbacks ever in Q. H. S. if he keeps trying. EMILE BRINKERHOEF, Fullback-l45 pounds. Emile is a Dutchman, but one of the best. We all praise him for his ability as an athlete and a student. BRUCE FERRELL, Student Manager. Bruce couldn't put on a uniform and support his school, but he was one of the best sports that ever sat on a sideline. Bruce will develop into a man some day. WILLIAM CRAWFORD, Guard--160 pounds. Bill was tall and a hard hitter. In years to come Bill will be playing football. SCORE Quanah Chillicothe Quanah Chillicothe Quanah Paducah--.

Page 59 THE QUAH1 OF 1927 Basket Ball '27 Coach Dell Morgan had about twelve men out this season for the basket ball squad, but the members of the team were small and light. The boys were lion-hearted and fighters and the spirit of sportsmanship showed by them has helped to establish an enviable reputation as real all-round athletes. The squad Won four out of ten games played. Page 60 THE QUAH1 or 1927 Track The Indians were considerably stronger under the coaching of Mr. Cox this year in track than they were last. At the county meet they carried off everything. Led by Frazer and XVelborne, who were high point men, the Indians Won 108 points. The relay team, composed of Willis, Frazer, Davis and Welborne, Won over Chillicothe by a distance of fifty yards in the county meet, but did not fare so Well in the district meet. Frazer won everything in the way of hurdles at the county meet and he also ran well at the district meet but did not Win a place. Davis was a good man on the lOO and 220-yard dashes. Willis, a hard trainer, showed good form in the 440-yard dash and relay. Next year he should be one of the Indians' best men. Smith, on the mile, was the best at the county, Winning by a good distance. Hailey and Page were other good distance runners, Hopkins and Ennis were good in the shot put, Winning first and second, respectively, in the county. In the discus, Hopkins, Wykes and Cook were first, second and third, respectively, in the county. Brinkerhoff was the best at the county at the javelin, hurling the spear for a distance of l l l feet. He was also good in the 440 and the discus. The district meet was held at Childress this year and Quanah had many representatives. Welborne was the only one to place, although Davis, Frazer and Willis showed up well. Welborne was the high point man of the day, winning 13 points. He won first place in the lO0 and 220-yard dashes and second in the broad jump, Page 61 THE QUAH1 OF 1927 l Baseball '27 E. BRINKERHOFF, Second Baseman. Emile is a trustworthy keystone baseman that makes an infield more efficient, Emile held his position in hand at all times. 0, EDWARDS, Left Field. Big Red caught several outfield flies during the season, missing only a few chances. He was lucky and got a home run occasionally. W. DAUGHTRY, Third Baseman. Massa Wade was reliable for third baseman. His powerful arm and unerring fielding made many a player turn from first biase muttering about the hit he lost. B. B. WELBORNE, Shortstop. B was good anywhere on the infield and his powerful bat helped put many a run over the home plate, His base run- ning was sensational. D. DAVIS, Right Field. Stinky made a few errors but he was an excep- tional fielder and his singles and two-base hits held the batting average of the club up to an enviable Work. Page 62 THE QUAH1 OF 1927 R. VILLYARD, Center Field. A'Rusty was fast and certain, although he could not look at the sun for a high fly. He seldom missed one. His singles and doubles were well placed and not a few in number. A. CALLOWAY, First Baseman. Big Foot is just a boy in age, but he played his position like a general. With more experience at the base and at bat he will prove a valuable ball player some day. W. ROPER, Catcher. A'DoZzy went behind the bat and stayed there. He was not perfect but he worked hard and was peppy from the first inning to the last, H. HOPKINS, Pitcher. Lefty was the mainstay of the pitching staff and he proved his ability in every game. Given the support due him you can bet that Lefty will bring home the big end of the score for his nine. M. KLEPPER, Utility. Jelly, as he was called, proved that he was an all round out-fielder when called on. He was a bit slow but he will develop later. C. CooK, Utility. A'Cookie was a ball player and a man off and on the field. We all liked to see 'ACookie when he stretched in the air to get a high one on Hrst base. His bat rang for several nice hits during the season. Other men on the squad showing ability were: D. Daughtry, Ned Hurst. Leroy Campbell, Miller Smith, Murray Wykes, Watson Hammond, Ernest Marien, Hilary Moseley. SCORE Q. H, S, , 3 Eldorado ,, . ,,,.ll Q. H. S. L ,,,, 15 Cioodlett ,,,, W, 6 Q. H.
