C. Christian Billie Jo Old I OUR SCHOOL SONG Van Alstyne High by Lloyd Mottley Van Alstyne High! Van Alstyne High I Our friend, our school. We will be true whatever betide. Our hearts we give to you. At an assembly program in the fall of 1941, Erother Mottley presented Van Alstyne High to the student body. He explained that we had been singing school songs to borrowod tunes, and that he had a song, the words and music of his own composition, which we could call all our own. Van Alstyne High became dear to'us the one year that we could sing it as students, and as alumni, it will always have a place in our hearts. OUR CLASS SONG Keep the Home Fires 3urning They were summon'd from the hillside, they were call'd in from the glen, And the country found them ready at the stirring call for men. Let no tears add to their hardships, as the soldiers pass along. And although your heart is breaking, make it sing this song. Keep the home fires burning while your hearts are yearning, Tho' your lads are far away thoy dream of home. There's a silver lining thro' the dork clouds shining. Turn the dark cloud inside out, till the boys come home. CLASS PROPHECY A glance into the future shows us that it is ten years from the present time, April 24, 1952. We find that the United States has won the war; thanks to the daring plans and fighting of admiral, captain, major, sergeant, corporal, commander, lieutenant, ensign, colonel, general, buck private Peanut Page. I turn the globe to Van Alstyne, Texas. I see two people—oh, yes--I see that it is Ruby Nell Simpson and her big, blonde brute of a husband— Horace Smith, And Playing around their feet are children—let’s see, there are three little Rubies and five little Horaces. N ov; I see a lovely girl being presented as Miss America, third time winner of that honor—why it’s none other than that gorgeous Geraldine Patt en. Now I turn the globe to a lonely place in the Pacific Ocean—Alcatraz. I see a man weighing about four hundred pounds, with his feet on a desk, and the latest fiction novel in his hand; I S6e Mr. Ward Jasper Francis, who came to Alcatraz so he could read in pc icc and escape the pretty girls. Now I turn the globe to a little place east of Van Alstyne. I see a prosperous young man v ho is serving his seventh year as Mayor of Cannon and raising a species of swcet-smelJing skunks as a hobby—Charles Neathery. I see that our beloved M2 Kendall, after serving as secretary for President Roosevelt, for two years, has settled down and is racing chickens on a farm which she won in a pokor game. Under the bright lights of Hollywood I sec a dazzling young lady who is the center of attraction. This beaut: is Glenda Spence, who, after appearing in several Broadway hits, came to the screen, and has followed in the footsteps of Mae West. Now in the great city of New York, I S66 Davy Tate. Davy Tate, after divorcing her fifth husband, married a § rich old sucker who died shortly afterwards of a heart attack, leaving Davy as the fourth wealthiest woman in the world. Nov; I see a young man residing at the asylum at Wichita Falls, Texas. After years of success as a race track driver they had to' take Wayne Bradley there—they took his car away from him. In a little place south of Sherman I see a touch-looking girl serving beers in a roadside stand—little Moxelle Grammar has re-opened the Rocky Pig”. On radios all over the country we hear tho sweet singing voice of Euna Fay Judkins on the Grand Ole’ Opry. Maranell Gray has established a help-your-self laundry in the ever-growing city of Van Alstyne; As Maranell breaks her back lifting and washing, her husband, Howard Shaw, lazily looks on. In Hollywood I see Naomi Stroud as s pretty western cowgirl, playing as leading lady to Gene Autry. I see Dr. Floyd'Dillon is back from a tour of European countries, where he spent his time collecting butterflies for his laboratory in Sacramento, California. Floyd shocked the little town of Van Alstyne to its roots, when, after a six-year courtship, he took Jcano Crook as his blushing bride. Cpalzclle Lockhart has established c Lonely Hearts’ Club- for men only. Opalzcllc answers the millions of letters that she receives daily, but she is still single. I sec Billie Jo Old wandering around under the ground• One day while she was trying to got away from some people she crawled down into a worm hole and couldn’t find her way out. Since the United States has won the war, the Japs have to stay in a certain territory. The chief guard in Japan is Red” Christian, ’..hose job is to slaw the Japs as they come over the gaps. I see Allene Jay, after gaining fame as a model, happily married to A. V. Whitehead In the center of circus life, I see Frances Jordan, who is playing the part of the Bearded Lady . Alta Fay Haun is now chief reporter of the Now York Times. Alta Fay hasn’t made up her mind definitely about Oscar Williams, who is head-waiter at a New York rostau- si rant, but after ten years of courtship, Alta still says, Tine will tell”. Fay It is very surprising in deed, as I see Kathrine Anderson as United States Good Will Ambassador to South America. Murleno Holm.es is nov; happily helping her husband, A. D. Stephens, in the cattle business. Neal Burnham, after eating a bottle of vitamin pills, given to him by his physics teacher, is nc.v taking the place of Superman. Wanena Neill has established a skating rink in the city of Warden. Wanena takes tine out from skating once a week to run over to the asylum, at Y ichita Falls. I wonder why???? Robert Hynds has achieved his one desire—to be President—and the miracle, has hawoned. He is now president of Van Alstyne’s ever-growing Junk, Street-Cleaning, Dog-Catching Association . I’m hap y to say that c.nc of our Senior girls has won fame in the athletic field. Marceline Alien is loaded down with medals that she won in the Olympic; Deep in the heart of Mexico, I ace a young man wooing bca utiful Spanish senoritas. Dale Murphy has gained fame as a great bull fighter. Another one of our senior girls is engaged in the business of roadside stands. I now see Christ! Neill as a car hop at Hillcrest. Janes Shelton and Raymond MulXenix, inseparable friends, are now appearing on Broadway as a famous tap dancing team. Euio Mac Jackson is serving her second tern in the House of Representatives, while Wilnetha Smith is acting as campaign manager for Ma Ferguson, who is running for Governor'of Texas Jack Parish is now a traveling salesman, spending his time giving sweet compliments to dizasy claries . Ruby Mae Terry and Dorothy SMpworth are both in Washington D. C., employed as secretaries to the Vice-President. Over in England I see Carl Vav ter. He has gainei game as a dashing aviator with the R. A. F. Doroth Helen Lay is nov; one of the outstanding opera singers of this age. Dorothy Cate is a missionary in far-away China, devoting her time in bettering the Chinese people. Once every three years, Dorothy journeys to New York where she looks wistfully at a certain head waiter in a New York restaurant. James Robert Greening is now a well-known surgeon at Baylor Ho spite 3. in Da.13.as, Texas. I. B. Cripps has just been declared the world’s heavy.-weight champion. May I add that Joe Louis is ten years older and a little weaker than he was in 1942, I see that our Superintendent Mr. Yeaklcy is still superintendent of the Van Alstync schools. Mr.. Yc-akley, whose home is now near the East school District, takes time about teaching the two schools. He finds this plan both educational and refreshing I see that our teacher, Miss McMahan is tired of pounding history through the thick skulls of fresh-linen. She is now doing something exciting. She is chief bouncer at Mozelle Grammar s Rocky Pig Miss Hunter is nov; Secretary of Labor. Miss Thomas is known as the world’s most famous woman boxer, thanks to the training she received from the poor Sophomore Class of ’42. Miss Fagg is Home Economics teacher at T. S. C. W. Mr. Harris :.?• the head coach at T. C. U. and is doing a splendid job of it. Miss Sim is touring the world, having received $10,COO,000 inheritance from a rich old aunt. Mr. Nolen is doing vexy ’.veil on an old age Pension —Billie Jo Old z2ZZ2 mm - � irj Hi 'V v S«-19 EE JUNIOR CLA3 BOTTOM ROW, left to right: Jane Crook; Helen Bradley; Helen Crutcher Ruby Ruth Holland; Juanita Jackson; Altha Mae Bigc-erstaff: ?.fcrie Boyer; Robbie Lee Kill; Mary Catherine Cannon; Uldine Haynes; Marjorie Creed Taylor; Christine Edwards; Claudine Smith.

But size is the only thing in which the class is average, for the Juniors themselves are certainly not I There is an unusually•large number of outstanding students in the class, outstanding not only for their scholarship, but also for their participation in all school activities. During the year, we have had several parties, a weiner roast, and the Junior-Senior Banquet at the Grayson Hotel in Sherman. President Bobby Umphress has executed the duties of his office and used his gift of leadership to such good advantage that the Juniors have gotten into hardljr any trouble. ■All in all, the Juniors promise to be, we think, the best Senior Class ever in the history of Van hlstyne High School. —Marjorie Creed Taylor Reporter ft, ✓ JC .

Our candidates for King and Queen of the Iallowe!en Carnival won second place. We had to ow to the Seniors there. Joe Lee Vineyard and Henry Lee Lewis were in-tiated into the V Association, while a large num-er of Sophomore boys received reserve letters. Basketball attracted a number of both boys and Lrls, and when Mr. Harris undertook to teach a jroup the fine art of tumbling, sophomores were gain on the scene. To make the Gym Nite, the umbling show, a complete success, Betty Jo Milam ook part in the one-act play, Cleaned and Pressed . Billy Jack G1eaves was the alternate declaimer n the high school junior division for the County leet in the Interscholastic League. Henry Lee Lewis and Derryl Overbey won the ounty Tennis Cup for Tennis Doubles. The Social Life of the Sophomore Class has ot been neglected either. Killing two birds with ne stone, the class made money for the Hallowe en amival and enjoyed the parties that were given n the fall. We had a fun house at the Carnival. — Henry Lee Lewis BOTTOM RCTV, left to right: Don Minton; P. M. Johnston; Jimmy Rudd; Raymond Nelson; Claude Hamon; Bobby McKinney; Quinn Hunter; Carol Hunter.

We won a ticket-selling contesto We stopped in front- of the Santa Fe Building in Delias about 7:15 in the morning. We went up the roof and saw part of the Early Birds broadcast on the roof. P. M. Johnston was called'to the microphone to tell how we came to make the trip. After the broadcast, the casts of the programs were introduced. Little Willie, a performer, passed out funny papers. After we left the building, we went to the zoo. We went in the monkey building. A'big ape stuck his head into a bucket, backed off, and suddenly charged. He stopped at the bars and sprayed water all over us. We we; t to a duck pond which was shaped like Texas. The most important cities were on signs at the place where they are located in Texas. We later went to the airport. The big passenger pianos ore coming in. One plane would leave and another would come in. When wc left the air port we went to a shov;. After the show we tried to get in the Magnolia Building, but they would not let us in. Thon we went to the ice arena. P. M. Johnston, Coach, and Carol Hunter skated, or tried. After we left the arone, we started home. On the way home, Quinn Hunter, Bobby McKinney, and yours truly were naughty. Coach gave us each a lick and made us stand in the front of the bus. We ot home about dark. We had a wonderful time, the twenty-four of us who went. — John William Marr tzz7.= - . • ;• • Horace Smith, fb; James Lee Davis, hb; Adolph Wiggins, hb; J. C.

T. A. by the different c lasses was counted. Rain'prevented the classes from operating their booths, but the Bingo booth was well-patronized, despite the ra in. Another highlight was the footbal] b-nrmet held at the Methodist Church on January 29, 1942. A patriotic the le in rod , white, and blue was carried out in the decoration. Co-captain, Oscar Williams announced a program which included an address by the Rev. Lloyd Mottley and the announcement of loiter awards to members of the football team Last, but by no means least, was the Junior-Senior Bannuet at the Grayson Hotel at Sherman. Toastwistress ID.dine Haynes presented each one who had a part in the program, our Superintendent making the main address. Almost too good to be true were the four pieces of fried chicken on each plate (there were rumors of five pieces on Horace’s plate), and long-remembered will be the looks of amazement on every face as the lips and teeth of all present slowly turned to blue after the dessert course was served. — Davy Tate . 1 • ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ • ‘ ‘ ■■ ‘ The Senior Play I � M IN THE ARMY NOW The story of a draftee who own formed an army of his • Ca st Pa Robertson Ma Robertson Deanna Robertson Bronson Robertson Toby Robertson Granny Robertson Dale Morrison Letty Ashbrooke Prentiss Roper Corinna Duffin Audrey Nayiand Mrs. Essie Knapp Ramon Valdez James Robert Greening Rub}' Nell Simpson Davy Tate Robert Hynds Carl Vawter Billie Jo Old Alta Fay Haun Glenda Spence Neal Burnham Euna Fay Judkins Wanema Neill Christine Neill Raymond Mullenix Staff Business Manager Oscar Williams Publicity Committee J.
