has encouraged and her determination-to-put-things-over has carried for- ward to completion everything that has been undertaken. She is present at all the meetings, aiding the students with moral sup- port and suggestions. A great many of the plans that have helped to make the Senior Classes better perform their duties originated in her mind. which never stops planning for them. Before any social event she is as busy as the busiest, then when the occasion arrives no one enjoys the fun more. She is vitally interested in all the class activities, but especially in the Senior play-coming to rehearsals and giving the cast the benefit of outside criticism and advice. On the night of the presentation she is always property-manager, and when some wild-eyed, amateur actor cries loudly for his mustache, his check-book, or calling cards, they are put into his hands, and he is sent, rejoicing, to take his cue. The interest that she takes in the class extends to its individual mem- bers. Suppose some one doesn't know what to do or how to do it-go ask Miss Cooper. She can always be found, always has time to listen and always has a solution for the problem. She is the friend of everyone with whom she comes in contact, but especially of all her Seniors. The big sister of a family is the one to whom all the children look for advice, sympathy and encouragement. They go to her with all their troubles or their happy plans and she is the one who is most interested. Miss Cooper, because she has taken so much interest in, and worked so untiringly for the Senior Class, has won the place of big sister in the hearts of all its members. Page Sixteen -4q

Th 13 Unk . POEM OF JANUARY CLASS OF .1921 Better than praise, and hetter than, fold, ' And better than rank by s. I Are the friends we make in our sehool lite. To our principal, teachers, and friends we made, We must say farewell, but not goodbye, As with our desires we toil and sigh, We will see you' again as the years go by. Oak Clili' High, how much we owe to you, As when others that follow, thy portals shall throng, Think of us who have gone on before, , And the lesson that's graven deep in our hearts Thou shalt grave on' a thousand more. Oak Cliff Hiih, to you we shall ever be true,,, Thy iair title shall always have fame: 'Thy shield shall be knowledge, thy fair coat of arms A record without blot or without shame. ' Jmvms A. LAVENDER
