Founded in 1884, as a part of the common school district, it had no graduf ates until 1896, when Miss Edith Bowman, having completed the ninth grade-then the highest-finished. In 1903 the common school district was organized into an independent school district, and the number of trustees was increased to seven. There were five graduf ates that year. Since no electives were offered, all students took all the subjects taught. Football appeared on this Western horizon when the first San Angelo football team was organized in the school year of 1908f1909. During these early years the boys had to furnish all their equipment except pants and footballs. The school fur' nished one pair of pants for each member of the team and two footballs a year. There were no grandstands, no admission was charged, and few other than students attended the games, which were played in the afternoons after school. San Angelo's opponents were those towns along the railroad. Before a game volunteers were asked to furnish room or meals for the members of the visiting team. Then, as now, a high point was the party which followed the game. Ten years after the independent district was organized S. A. H. S. was ad' mitted to the Southern Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges as a pioneer member. Although the requirements for membership have become higher and higher, San Angelo High School has met them and maintained her affiliation with this orgaf nization from the time of her entrance until the present. The new 368,000 high school building was completed late in 1916, and in January 1917 the four high school grades moved into the new building on North Oakes. One of the first class to graduate out of the new location was Miss Mary Compton, now a member of the faculty. The only other graduate of S. A. H. S. who is now teaching in the high school is Miss Martha Brown, who graduated in '2Z. Miss Brown was loyal not to the 'LOrange and Blue, but to the Blue and Gray, for the name Bobcat and the colors orange and blue were not chosen until 1923. During the 20's, San Angelo High was feeling the effects of the oil boom. Crowded classes, short periods, and fewer study halls characterized the conditions. The halls were patrolled and-how terrible-no courting allowed fso they sayj. Throughout the years San Angelo High School has been one of those schools which have kept pace with the progress of education in the state, introducing new courses and new methods which gave promise of value. Recently an enlarged library, more tennis courts, and new clubs have added to the pleasures and opportunities of the students. Plans are being completed for greater improvement. The graduating class of 1939+a class of almost two hundred-is the largest in the history of the school. f FELIX E. SMITH Felix E. Smith, superintendent of the San Angelo schools, is an outstanding leader in setting high standards for education. Because of his broad and compref hensive view of education he has contrihuted much toward the building up of one of the hest educational systems in this section. Since the results of Mr. Smiths work are apparent to all, we wish to express our appreciation for his leadership in making the San Angelo schools what they are today. CHESTER H. KENLEY To Chester H. Kenley, principal of San Angelo Senior High School, goes the responsibility of managing a school with a present enrollment of over 1,000 - a responsibility which Mr. Kenley has shouldered and met efficiently for ten years. Because of his understanding nature, his desire to progress, and his unusual personality, Mr. Kenley is the true friend of every student in Senior High. FACULTY GLADYS ADAMS B. S.

Anderson, Director The San Angelo High School Band of 193869 has had a very successful year. At every football game the baud, led by Drum Major j. L. Reed and Band Sweet' heart Tomasine Stanley, actively supported the Bobcats with music, marching, and Stunts. During the basketball season the band added to the interest and enthusiasm by playing at the home basketball games. The high lights of the year were the annual concert, the Stock Show and Rodeo, and the State Band Contest. The concert was given to a large and apprecif ative audience in the municipal auditorium. A selected band played each day for the rodeo. At the state contest the band earned placques and second division rating in both playing and marching. Eleven members won individual medals and five qualified for the NationalfRegional. The band marched in the Annual Fat Stock Show Parade, Girl Scout Parade, and Santa Claus Parade. It played one concert in assembly, two concerts at Sanaf torium i one of these on Easter morning, and gave its usual commencement concert. This year the band has added the following equipment: one string bass, a set of chimes, a pair of bellflyra, two fluegal horns, and a neon sign, the first of its type in the United States. eOFFICERS - Henry Gibson .. ............. .......

Reed and Band Sweetheart Tomasine Stanley PEP SQUAD Miss Effie Lou Keaster, Sponsor The 1938739 Pep Squad, consisting of one hundred and fifty girls, was an active and entertaining organization. Grange satin, tailorfmade blouses, worn with blue wool skirts, were selected as the uniform for the squad. Fifty girls were chosen from the pep squad to form a drill squad, which exhibited many clever acts at the football games, One performance stands out above all others. The girls organized a mock band with Harris Smith acting as their i'Band Sweetheart. Each girl carried a toy horn-fthe signal was given, and a new arrange' ment of Alexander's Ragtime Band was heard. The pep squad girls helped create interest in the games by sponsoring sales of souvenir tags bearing such slogans as Butcher Those Steers and Haul Those Mustangs. The sale of orange and blue wool dollies made by the girls became a very popular and profitable project for the pep squad. The success and popularity of the organization is credited to the able direction of Miss Keaster and the excellent leadership of Louise Renfro, Margaret Humlong, and Bettie Bailey. -f LEADERS ee Louise Renfro ...,. .. .

The members are elected from those students who participate in the various dramatic activities of the school. By a constitutional amendment the limit of membership has been raised this year from twentyffive to thirty. The current membership includes most of the members of the senior play cast and all those of the contest play cast. The purpose of the Footlighters Club is to increase the amateur acting ability of the students by the study and production of plays, and to manage the details of the Interscholastic League GnefAct Play Tournament. This year the club has also been able to have regular meetings with wellfplanned programs. The club has presented three plays to the high school assembly and one to the San Angelo College students. The casts of these plays were chosen partly from the club members and partly from a long list of students who have triedfout from time to time for dramatic parts. The greatest achievement for the year was the purchase of four pieces of livingf room furniture for use in high school plays and assembly programs. This addition brings the club's total assets in stage properties to more than eightyffive dollars. Colors: Bright Blue and Silver. Motto: Ars gratia artis.

Dorothy Freeman was the only member of the cast who had a part in last year's onefact play, 'LA Friend of the Family. Two members of the cast had parts in this year's senior play-Frances Mae Beam having played the role of the negro mammy and Norman Elrod, the part of Randolph Weeks. Of the six possible dramatic honors in the district, five were won by this cast. Dorothy Freeman was judged the best actress in Dictrict Seven, and Vesta Chenoweth-taking the role of a clumsy German maid-placed third. The boys' honors were sweepstakes.

Any girl who has had or is taking home economics is eligible for membership. Much work was done by those in charge of planning the programs for the year and in preparation of a year book, with special attention being given to assigning every girl a part on some program. Among the interesting social activities were a picnic, a theater party, a Christmas party, a Mexican supper, a tea for the girls' mothers, and a banquet. The club was hostess to two Area III meetings held in San Angelo. At the first of these Dorothy Freeman was elected reporter and Mary Aileen Mickley, par' liamentarian for the Area III organization.

The editorial staff is made up of sixteen journalism students from the junior and senior classes. John Davenport, editorfinfchief, is not only the chief editorial writer, but he also writes a sports gossip column, 'LDavenfSports, and writes sports stories. Bill Bradley, managing editor, is in charge of the makefup of The Campus Corral. He also writes current news comment called The News RoundfUp. Tamea Henderson, the versatile associate editor, besides doing general staff writing, dishes out 'LDaisy's Dirt. Robert Massey, art editor, draws both humorous and dignified cartoons. In addition to being feature editor, Ella Marie Daviss becomes the general flunky and does the odd jobs around the office. Ed Harte is credited with writing Bellows under the pen name of 'hFerdinand Harte. Hobart McDowell usieze all and nose all in his HorrorfScopes. He is also the contributor of humorous feature stories. jacquelyn Presson portrays different individuals in her Personality Por' traits. Mary Ann Kenney, Harris Smith, Jeanne Trimble, Marjorie Wyniu, Jo Kath' ryn Schmidt, and Eloise Beck are yoernen unewspapermenn one and all. The typists are Winnie Faye and Inez Ray. The jorunalism class made field trips to HolcombefBlanton Printery and to the Standa'rdfTimes. The purpose of these trips was to familiarize the students with a linotype machine and a rotary press. At HolcombefBlanton's each student was pref sented with a L'slug with his name on it. Combining all their talents and energy, the staff manages to publish a newsf paper of which they are proud. Miss Jessie B. Stapp sponsors the publication of The Campus Corral. Having a printed newspaper was a new experience and an experiment for this school, but it was an interesting and worthwhile activity on which long hours, untiring work, and ingenuity were spent. The staff of The Campus Corral feels that it has bequeathed to the school a newspaper which will improve and grow and become a tradition. r 4 I+ I 11 51 Slkvmc Qui Q C,1X'v.u0x Q5 THE CAMPUS ww 456' wiik..

Four girls and three boys solicit ads from the business firms of San Angelo for display in the newspaper. The position of an advertiser is one of hard work, long hours, no glory, and no pay. In September three boys, Lewis Wilson, Ralph Chase, and Tom Morgan, agreed to assume the responsibility of the advertisements. The three labored long and valiantly, but at midfyear Tom found the track more alluring and tendered his resigf nation. His work was assumed by Wayfne Green, until then a member of the edif torial staff. Even though Wayne did not begin the work of an advertiser until Feb' ruary, he has more inches to his credit than any of the staff who worked the whole year. Besides his advertising duties, he has written headlines and has contributed articles to The Campus Corral. jo Lu Barnett, the first girl appointed to the staff, was so successful that three more girls, Ruth Mansfield, Jane Greene, and Lucille Luckett, were added to com' plete the staff, and to prove that the feminine line is more deadly than the masculine approach. The funds brought in by this staff, augmented by subscriptions and sales, have not only maintained the Campus Corral but have furnished one third of the total budget of the Westerner. - - MEMBERS f - SCRIBBLERS The Scrihhlers Gluh is a purely social organization for members of the journalf ism class, the newspaper staff, and the annual staff. This year they elected Rohert Massey to preside over their gaiety. Other officers were Ella Marie Daviss, Frances Mae Beam, Jeanne Trimhle, and John Davenport. Tamea Henderson was social chairman of the cluh. The first gamhol of the year was the Hallowe'en party at which new memhers were initiated hy ghosts and ghouls. At the Ghristmasftree dance, held in the St. Angelus dining room, Scrihhlers were presented with gifts caricaturing certain of their personal traits, The annual picnic and hayride was held on April ZS at Ghrisf toval. Prospective Scrihes for next year were guests at the Scrihhlers' luncheon at the Hotel Cactus, the last cluh affair of the year. -lo Lu Barnett Margaret Barry Frances Mac Beam Eloise Beck Marcene Billingsley Bill Bradley Gwendolyn Burton Ralph Chase june Covington john Davenport Ella Marie Daviss Byron Fielder Dorothy Freeman Alfred Gernshacher Boh Goff Wayne Green jane Greene Ed Harte Viola Beth Hearn Tamea Henderson Duwain Hughes Mziyfair Jones Mziry Ann Kenney Bette Logan Lucille Luckett Sara Sue Maiiii Ruth Mzinsfield Robert Mzissey Tom lvlorgan Frances McClLii'c Hohart lVicDowell Elleen McSpadden -liinmy Neelley Lucille Orman Gerry Phillips Imogene Presley Jacquelyn Presson Inez Ray Winnie Faye Ray Mzirgaret Sawherger Geraldine Schindler -lo Kathryn Schmidt jean Skeen Doris Sitas Virgie Sewell Harris Smith Louise Smith Jeanne Trimble Klaudia Wliite Lewis Wilstiii lla Virginia Vv'omhle lviarjorie Vsfynn THE WESTTERNER STAFF If memories of the outstanding events, the prominent personalities, and the interesting experiences which made up the school year 1938739 are revived as you turn these pages, the aim of the Westerner Staff will have been realized.

Stapp, Sponsor In April, 1939, San Angelo High School was granted a charter to organize a local chapter of the Quill and Scroll, the International Honorary Society for High School Journalists. This chapter was organized with ten charter members and named the J, Frank Dobie Chapter. Quill and Scroll was founded at the University of Iowa, April 10, 1926, by a group of teachers of journalism who wished to recognize and to reward worthy high school journalists. These founders conceived four standards which a member should meet. Scholastically, he must be in the upper third of this high school class, he must have done distinctive work in some phase of high school journalism, he must be rec' ommended for membership by the adviser of journalistic work in his high school, and he must be approved as being worthy of membership by the society's executive officer designated for that duty. Quill and Scroll desires to make membership an honor that will stand everywhere for the highest type of high school journalistic achievement. A definite code of ethics is maintained by Quill and Scroll. Qualities that are especially stressed by this society and in its publication are truth, the keynote of journalistic endeavor, initiative, the symbol of progress, opportunity, that made by selffeducationg leadership, the greatest need of the world, loyalty, the essence of well placed trust, enlargement, the background for culture, and friendship, the great bond of civilization. Some of the foremost names in English letters are today upon the roles of honorary membership in the society. Included among these are Sir Phillip Gibbs, Dr. Douglas Freeman, Edwin Markham, Vachel Lindsay, Ellen Glasgow, James Branch Cabell, Robert Frost, and Eugene Meyer. Those noted authors and educators were chosen because of their genuine interest in the work and efforts of young writers and journalists.

His foothall teams always exceed prefseason expectations, and eaeh year his untiring efforts produce fastfmoving, hard' fighting haskethall teams. He instills in all his hoys a sense of true sportsmanship, and coaches in this section of the country know him and respect him as an honest coach of cleanfplaying hoys. Coach Hervey Blue demonstrated during his first year in this school that he is a eapahle and diligent line coach. Trained hy his experience at Baylor, Coach Blue welded that solid front wall of the Bohcats of '33, He also was the mentor of the Bohcat track squad. His hoys won the District Meet and garnered ten points at the Regional. Sports followers are expectant of further success from Coach Blue. Charles Harless also proved his worth in his first year at San Angelo High. Coach Harless held the joh of training recruits on the Kitten squad for future services with the Cats. HERVEY BLUE HARRY TAYLOR CHARLEY HARLESS FCQTBALL The Bobcats of San Angelo High School concluded their 1938 season with three wins, three ties, and three losses. At the close of the scheduled season the Cats were tied with Sweetwater for first place, but in the subsequent game the Mustangs were victorious 7-O. The climax of the season was the Armistice Day game with Abilene. The Eagles were leading the Western Oil Belt and heavy favorites to trounce the Cats. However, a courageous Bobcat squad fought the Taylor County boys into submission and won 15-7. Needless to say, this was the crowning glory of the Bobcat season. The Cats early showed their ability by holding North Side of Fort Worth and Thomas Jefferson of San Antonio. Both games were moral victories for the inexperienced but outstanding Bobcats. The first victory for San Angelo was achieved when they came up from bef hind a twelve point lead to beat Big Spring 14f1'l. For allfround Bobcat spirit the Bobcats of 1938 were unusual and will be remembered in future years for their courage and teamfwork. FOOTBALL LETTERMEN AMOS GRAY Captain Gray was 165 pounds of dynamite, running, passing, and kicking San Angelo to victory. Opponents tackled Amos only to have him shake loose and gain additional yards by powerhouse plunging. JIM BEAN Playing his last year for the orange and blue, Judge Bean demonstrated that he was the roughest line- man in the district. As a blocker, he was a Troian, and he scattered interference like leaves in a storm. He alone was selected from San Angelo to play on the Texas All' Star Team. LENINE CORTESE Swivelfhipped L'Nehi sidefstepped and drove his 135 pounds all over the opposition. Neem, playing his first year as a backfield man, gave that department lessons in correct ballflugging. He gives promise of being one of the outstanding backs of the Oil Belt this year. - BILL DAVENPORT A hardfhitting blocker, a bonefsmashing tzickler, a linetjarring driver--that's Zippo He captained the Cats in larruping their traditional enemies, the Eagles, on November ll. NEILL DELANEY Big One missed a few games due to an arm in- jury, but the rest of the season he proved himself a real pivot man. Germ possesses that friendly but game spirit of real sportsmanship. J. D. DUPREE Pecos Pete is big and fast. Some opponents were deceived by his bulk, but they lived to regret it. Pecos should be a stellar performer in the Cat line next year. BILL EDVVARDS Bill, with no previous football experience, made the Bobcat regular and turned in a good record on every game. His most thrilling performance was that eighty yard gallop on a pass intercepted against the Steers of Big Spring. NORMAN ELROD Handicapped by poor eyesight, Little Ham never' theless fought his opponents all the way. The Mustangs have particular reason to remember him, -since he rocked them time and again in the last batter of the season. DOUGLAS GUENTHNER The success man of the year was Doug. He came up in one year from athletic obscurity to astonish sports followers and receive his just credit. He specialized in ripping through interference and smashing the hallfcarrier FOOTBALL LETTERMEN BOB McCLURE Husky Bob was a bulwark on defense and a wheel' horse at blocking. He played a post which returns little dividends and played it well. ROBERT McDOUGAI.. Although virtually inexperienced, Robert played a iough but clean brand of football. He was one of the hardest men to block on the squad. RONALD McWILLIAMS Ronald was a line backer second to none. He could sense plays and was always there to plug the gap. He was also a mean blocker and lcd many Cat drives. JOHNNY NASWORTHY Johnny started his school football career off right by playing hard every second, and bids fair to talfe many honors next season. ALAN PIKE In the opinion of many, Alan was the best. dcicnsf ive linemar on the team, He excelled in smearing would' be blockers and nailing the ball carrier. On the other hand he cut down many wouldfbe tacklers of Bobcat men. J. VJ. STEWART Dub will carry on next year as the Bobcat triple' threater. We'll not forget his twenty-yard dash through the entire Abilene team in the first game against the Eagles. He woke the Cats up to win a moral victory. JAMES STOCKTON Jimmy received no complaints against his end of the line. He more than balanced it and made it quite enter' taining for endfsweeping backfield men. RICHARD STORY Blackie played headsfup football all the time. He too, had that friendly but stubborn disposition that inf spired his teamfmates. JACK WILKERSON ri Manager 2 ROBERT WYATT Manager .V BASKETBALL With only two returning lettermen, the 1939 basketball squad of San Angelo High School won twelve games out of nineteen. The loopsters, given little chance of success at the first of the year, developed exceptional talent as the season progressed. They placed second in the District Meet. The hitter hoys from Lakeview, nosed out last year hy a 20-19 score, came hack this year to defeat the San Angelo cagers 3703. - LETTERMEN -A Top Row: Francis Cunningham, Norman Elrod, Ted Carley, Bobby Wooldridge Eugene Stanford, Bottom Row: jack Bent, lviarion Bowman, Lenine Cortese, Roy Enriquez. Not in the picture: Pascal Drake TRACK Under the instruction of Coach Hervey Blue, the 1939 track team with only two returning lettermen captured the District Seven Track and Field Meet in San Angelo and scored ten points to place in the Regional Meet at Ahilene. Many track ,followers were skeptical as to the chances of the San Angelo squad, hut all doubts were dispelled when they won the Big Lake Meet, placed second in the Range Country Meet at Barnhart, and won their own invitational meet here. Witli Eugene Stanford, perhaps the greatest miler ever to run for San Angelo, and Roy Enriquez, three year letterman and versatile track ace, leading the way, the Bobcat squad was composed of Tom Morgan, Bill Bradley, ,lim Bean, Dale Chase, Lenine Cortese, John Whitteiihurg, and Ted Carley. The Bohcats were greatly inf jured when Boh Younkin, star vaulter, broke his arm after vaulting ten feet at Barn' hart, Representing San Angelo at the State Meet were Roy Enriquez and jim Bean. The squad of '39 worked hard and gave their all to hring laurels and victory to their school. The students of San Angelo High will long rememher them with pride. - TRACK SQUAD Back Row: Pete Ewald, Bill Bradley, Eugene Stanford, Coach Blue, Ted Cai-ley, lohn Whittenburg, Jim Bean.

BOYS TENNIS Perhaps no tennis squad ever fought harder for a place on the first team than did the one this year. All positions were hotly dontested, and the singles entry was determined only two days hefore the District Meet. Mr. Wehh took the one reserve letterman returning from last year and huilt from inexperienced boys a wellfrounded team. Prospects for future years are indeed bright. The tennis hoys entered two invitational meets, one at Abilene and one at Sweetwater. In the District Meet Ralph Chase and Paschal Drake were eliminated hy Junction. Jess Landers, singles representative, advanced to the finals where he lost to Menard. In winning the right to represent San Angelo in the singles, Jess defeated M. T. Winstead in one of the closest matches ever played on San Angelo courts, the final set ended 1Of8. The school is justly appreciative of the conscientious work of Coach Wehh and the tennis squad. Wiii or lose, the student hody is proud of them, -f LETTERMEN -e Ralph Chase Paschal Drake jess Landers Reserve: M. T. Wiiistezid y GIRLS TENNIS Coached hy Miss Keaster, the girls' tennis squad developed some promising talent for next year. The racqueteers trained diligently for the District Meet but were defeated in the preliminaries. Two junior girls, Marihel Ricker and Ann Templeton, won the herths on the douhles team, and for the second consecutive year Jean Favors was the singles entry. Marihel and Ann lost to Bronteg jean to Water Valley. With several promising sophomores to augment the ranks of the tennis girls, great things are expected of them next year. - GIRLS LETTERING f Jean Favors Ann Templeton Maribel Ricker - RESERVES 4 Bonnie Lou Ziegler Mary Stumherg Helen Marie Walfcurd Lois Whiddeii DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR GIRLS The physical education program for girls in San Angelo High School is built around seasonal sports with a liberal sprinkling of rhythmical and selfftesting activities. Emphasis is given to those recreational sports that may be carried on throughout life. The department sponsors intramural elimination tournaments in volley ball, tennis singles and doubles, and deck tennis singles and doubles. One of the honors that can come to a high school girl is to be elected to the Rhythms Club, which holds an annual recital in the early spring. This year the first play day was held with ribbons being awarded in major sports, minor sports, and track and field events. A grand award of a large school pennant was made to the high point girl.

At 7:30 o'clock, Cupid shot an arrow at Time who announced it was time to descend to the cafeteria, which was bedecked in balloons and hearts typical of the valentine motif. The tables were centered with candles and outlined in hearts. Turkey and dressing with all the trimmings was served. Small Cupids shooting arrows were place cards. The entertainment consisted of A Lover's Tap by Virginia Lee Carter, a play, Valentine a la Shakespeare, with Margaret Humlong and Henry Gibson as juliet and Romeo, a novelty song by james Weatherby, and a round of songs led by Bob Younkin. The dignified seniors expressed themselves adequately by their burst of singing that echoed toastmaster Norman Elrod's speech of appreciation for the fun, food, and frolic had by all at the senior banquet of '39 CARTQQ NS By Nlasscy in pw M X Q 2 ' 'ff4.,,,,,, V,'I ,nm .. , , wa, 'aww 1 . . .U- my. 0, f 'N , f iff?

St. Patricks green and while, and the spirit of old Ireland prevailed in their glory in the favors and refreshments. The Grand March started the fun, but by far the most hilarious event of the evening was the rooster fight. Pairs of agile students with trinkets of various sorts pinned on their backs tried to catch a glimpse of the trinkets on their opponents' backs. Jo Lu Barnett and john H. Sharp were the cockiest cock fighters, Farmer Lewis Wilson chose for his wife, date Margaret Humlong. The child, nurse, cat, rat, and cheese followed in quick order. Secrets concerning heart affairs of certain handsome laddies were revealed as they went forth to choose the girl of their dreams when Marching 'Round the Levee. Poor Loyd Carter had quite a time, for he squired to equally lovely ladies, Bennie Jacque Carpenter and Kathryn Kirby. L'9, IZ, 17, Sl, 4O! Don't get me wrong, dear readers, this is not the chant of the tobacco auctioneer in slow motion, merely the booming voice of Norman Elrod as he calls out Bingo numbers. After several false alarms from the boys Virginia Lee Carter made herself famous by winning in Bingo. Major Bowes could have died happy with the thought that not all amateurs deserve the gong, if hebhad heard the talent of the senior class. First came Jacquelyn fmy but I'm bashfulj Presson, scared stiff, weeping, but carrying on in her Baby Snooks dialect to sing her song. Jo Lu Barnett recited two touching poems, and Charles fPa.derewskij Roberts played his own arrangement of the most famous com' position in the worldfCHOP STICKS. Ed fFerdinandj Harte wrote on the back of Bingo cards an impromptu Bellows about the seniors at the party. The grand voice of john Daynport led the seniors in all the best loved songs. At a cry of food, interest in the amateurs waned, and the rush was on. And soon home with memories which will live forever. -' .AMA Horror-Scopes f Sieze A113 Nose Al1 p By Professor Hobarto By a new and highly complex process of astrological mathematics, the night of May 12, 1952, will be recreated from various places in the United States. AT THE METROPOLITAN OPERA HOUSE. Glittering in her multif colored jewels, societyfdictator, Irene McKinley assumes the seat of dignity as she chats with Lady Eloise Beck Procrastinate, wife of the noted wildfgarne hunter, Lord I. Will Procrastinate. Striking a dramatic pose as she stalks down the right aisle, Madame Elysia Beohme, etiquette authority, shows off to perfection her chinchilla cape, bright green evening gown, purple slippers, and rust fingerfnail polish. Now Symphonyfconductor Bodine Brazelton raises his baton, the lights dim, and the orchestra crashed out its august introduction. A cheer rises from this great musicfloving audience as the famous tenor, Louis Wilsonne steps onto the stage singf ing his great aria Alexander's Ragtime Band. IN THE 'LSATIN SANDAL NIGHT CLUB. Sitting at the bar, guzzling a Buttermilk Straight is the notorious gamblerfracketeer, Billie Butch Wills with his moll Dona Gene Elossy Tegart. As a part of the floor show, the sofcalled comedian, Tom Morgan, screams to his stooge, Norman Elrod, Who was that lady I saw you with last night? . That was no lady, replies Norman, That was Ella Marie Davissf' Bar-tender Flossy Fannin slings a Double Swingaroo Sundae together for the famous womanfrevivalist, Sister Gwen Burton-better known as Sis Fresh from the country and seein' the sights, 'HMaw Louise Renfro Henderson and 'LPappy Travis mosey onto the dance floor, elbowing by Lucky Dog Cigarette manufacturer, E. L. Coggin, who is hurling cartons of his product to the eager specf tators-but then, didn't he always? On one side of the building sits the glamorous divorcee, Mrs. Mary Ann Kenney Barrymore Taylor Gable Greene, eyeing eligible bachelor Douglas Guenthner, the Toothfpick King. Balancing an olive on his nose, Wayne Greene, the shrinking violet of cafe society, beams pleasantly on his wife, the former opera singer Maggie Plump, whose real name was Sarah Yaggy. Sitting at the same table are Wallace Clark and Gerry Phillips, both presidential possibilities on the Soakem ticket. IN SAN ANGELO HIGH SCHOOL. Grading typing budgets frantically, typing instructor, Jacquelyn Presson, rushes around in an effort to get home before 10 olclock. Janitors Charles Hoch and Ed Harte sweep the floor in a flurry, brushing around the feet of Sophomore H. C. Jones, who is laboring energetically on his English 1 . r X W l O, u l , 'DAISY ' ' ' iimslffi I take my pen in hand, to quote my letterfwriting ancestors, to bid farewell to the departing seniors-however there are some who won't depart, ever, it some- times seems. Thanks to all of you who did scandalous or scrumptious things and furnished material for a struggling columnist. I started this year with the avowed intention of having a real shootin' iron feud with my rival, Ed Harte, but I ended up every time feudin' with the Zocahs. They even began to suspect my compliments of rat poison f which is deadly to a Zocah. just as Norman Elrod and Bettie Bailey got to be a tradition around here f whoops, the apple cart tipped. Result: There were a few doubtful days, or, more correctly, nights, when Norman squired Jane fHomewreckerQ Greene and Bettie went flouncin' around with jim Bean. But now everything is cozy again for years to come. The Knights of the Dervish burst over the horizon to cast a rosy glow with their many activities, among them the selection of Mary Heffley as the Girl Friend of the Whirling Dervish. More power to a grand hunch of boys who know what they want and go after it. - This year the Big Apple was baked to make way for the Lambeth Walk, the Yam, and the Shag. Top hep cats at the dances were usually such seniors as Louise Renfro and Gwendolyn Burton, but redfheaded Martha Gill flung a wicked foot with the best of them-mostly meaning Tommy Newman. Most attached boy of the year was Lenine Gortese. Anybody who spied him at a social without Ermie promptly fainted. And now for this year's scoopiest scoop: What senior boy wore his heart on his sleeve, and had his shirt sent to the laundry by what junior girl for the sake of what Sophomore Casonova? I , A..

But may it never be said that material wealth is his only charm. He is a very person' able young manfhe boasts of the puggest nose and the most Gablefish ears this side of Hollywood. Very distinctive is Mr. Morgan's laugh While it certainly denotes a highly cultivated sense of humor, we regret to say that as to its degree of intellect, it is on about the same level with Dean Solsberry's. With his first sojourn into the sports world, Tom distinguished himself ad' mirably in track during the '39 season-16th isn't so bad for a kid. Tom is a member of that veddy, veddy exclusive set, the Student Forum. He's good natured and can take a joking like a little man-we hope!

All year theyfve locked me up in the Corral and held the gate of censor' ship closed on me. So I'm completely out of the habit of being mean, but this last time I'll try. I'm dedicating this one to the juniors, who during the summer will acquire dignity and lazy habits and become great big seniors. We departing elders hate to leave behind Hymie Weatherby to wgiiow in your cars and break the springs and throw mud on all the pretty little girls. We'd take him with us if the faculty would let us, but they enjoy him far too much for that. We hate to leave H. C. Jones still struggling in the sophomore class, but maybe he'll get to have a class or two upstairs next year. We know that you won't lose any tears over seeing us go, but you really will be sad to lose that democratic little bunch of girls, the Anglers Clvlargaret Humlong, Sara Yaggy, Flossy Fannin, and Elsie June Stumbergj who have graced our campus for all these years.

Here is a gem I've kept for years To treasure when alone The memory of ones who've gone It's sweet to call my own. And here's a jewel that all must have, The careless childish days So full of love and laughter, And joy in countless ways. And here are many others: Gay gatherings and fun: Inspiring words from dearest friends, I treasure every one. I'm sure you have a jewel box too. Please show your jewels to me, For all my shining, precious gems Are memories, you see. IT! C STORM Charles H och I sat within the darkness of my room And watched the lightning break the foggy gloom. Long, crooked, shining fingers of bright light Disturbed the silent blackness of the night. Swiftly, softly, surely, The rain began to fall. Growling, groaning, growing. The thunder began to brawl. Whirring, whining, whistling, The wind began to blow And left the night sky clear As fresh, untrampelled snow. RAIN AT NIGHT Geraldine Chappell What lovely transformation Has taken place last night? What wonderous dazzling beauty Is here to meet my sight? Mother Nature has changed her clothes of dry and withered brown, She has donned the greenest one of a costly velvet gown. I stand and gaze enchanted And know with rapture and delight That only God can give us A world so clean and pure at night. I AM NO POET Gwendolyn Davis I have very often wondered If a poem I could write. Now I know I can not do it, Know it by an inner sight. I can not translate into verse The bees and birds and trees, The bursting buds and distant hills And sound of rolling seas. And though I understand the earth, The woods, and all their habits, To others I can never tell The joy of watching rabbits. TO MY POEMS Eugene Weaver I try To write a poem Without an ins iration A smothering fling engulfs meg then I fail.
