l r. i l Y l- - Q 'nl QE Q P I GCK The English Department The English Department of the Sour Lake High School has been a growing department. Today, it is greatly improved over the earlier department. Miss Hayth, our efficient teaeher, came here in the fall of l920. In the year 1922, the Sour Lake High School secured :1 fourth credit in English. lt was :1 very difficult prob- lem to get a fourth credit in English at that tinze, and the Sour Lake School was one of the few sehools who had it. During Miss Hayth's stay here, she has started many new projects. The English Club came into existence about the year 1925. It began as a Business En lish no'eet. The mr rose was to teach the Business English students S l J U arliamentarv law but the Seniors were soon invited to enter the Club as active .1 7 members. This was done after the Business ldniflish Class saw the real value of B club work. At first, the meetings were held in the class room, but after the mem- bership increased, it was evident that larger looms were needed. Mr. Buek, our su erintendent at that time ranted the club the mriyilelfe of usinfr the old domestic p 7 rs D seienee rooms for club rooms. After the English Club was given these attractive rooirs, it was decided to have what we eall sectional meetings as well as the general meetings which were held the last Monday evening of each sehool month. The Juniors have in reeent years been permitted to join the elub, so they, also, have sec-tional meetings, and they participate in the general meetings. The sectional meetings are held twice each. month on Wednesday at the regular elass session, but they are held in the Club rooms. At these meetings, the sectional officers preside. A regular routine of business is trausaeted, and an interesting program is rendeied. The program usually vonsists of topies that appertain to the regular line of work. Thus, no time is wasted, but the regular work of the rlass is promoted in :ln interesting manner. At the general elub meetings, the most iniportant topies of the month in both Junior and Senior elasses are stressed. The prograins consist of the best essays that have been written in both .Tunior and Senior Classn-sg the lixes of the favorite authors from both Ameriean and English l.lf0l'Jltlll'G that hate been studied during the month and the memory work of the month. Offirfers tor the General lllnglisli Ulub are eleeted from the Senior Class. The officers for this year are: Martha Faye Parr, Presidellt: Ray lddmondson, Yiee'l'resident, and Helen Gill, Seelvtary. l roin the work done in this vluln, a project has developed which is ealled lflnglish Week. The fiist week in May is designated as linglish YYeek. During this week, the ling- lish work of the year is put on display. Thus, one can sue something of our lflnglish Department. 1935i

'ffm DER QI C K .J C Society IVA MARGER-IE 'S DANCE Miss Iva Marjorie Cooke complimented the football squad with a dance, Oct. 28, 1934. ln the afternoon the boys had played a hard game with Beau- mont, and they well deserved the hospitality extended to them. There was a large crowd present, as the Beaumont' visitors had been invited to remain over, and practically all of the dancing crowd in high school were present. Dancing and merry talk continued until a late hour when refreshments of punch and cake were served to the guests. GliOIilA'S DANCE The 'WVarriorsl7 saw their first defensive game when they met with the Hull-Daisetta Bobcats.'l After a hard fought game, the football boys and the pep squad were invited to Gloria VVick's home to dance. After hours of dancing and playing games, the guests departed and re- ported this to be a most enjoyable entertainment. 'AWARIRIORSW ENTERTAINED WITH CHICKEN DINNER As the last tackle in the football season of '35, Coach Hawn, the 4tWar- riorsf' and two guests, Mr. Meyers and Mr. Sheppard were entertained with a chicken dinner in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Homer Riggs. Capt. Reneau and Co-Capt. Reynolds kept the pep going until the first down-then all were quiet and busy eating. The colors of purple and gold were carried out successfully in the most minute details. The place cards were very original-a football held between two goal posts. The boys reported this to be one of the most enjoyable affairs of the year and a fitting climax for their career of 1934-35. Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Edwards ranked UAce-high'l with the boys, by com- plimenting them with a show after the dinner. SENIOR PARTY About thirty Seniors motored to Beaumont March 8, 1935, to enjoy the annual Senior party. The party began with a show at the Jefferson Theatre and endeil with an entertainment at the Coca Uola plant. Games of Bridge and Forty-Two and refreshments of Coca Cola, sandwiches, and cakes were en- joyed by all. The Seniors had as their guests, Mr. Kelly, the sponsor, Mrs. Kelly, Mr. Meyers, the principal, and Coach James Anderson. Every one spent a most enjoyable evening. - 1935
