But from our hearts in loyalty we strive with main and might, For Waco High, and we will fly the colors Gold and White. II When school days end and we look back, On days in Waco High, Our hearts will fill with memories Of happy days gone by. 'Tis then our loyalty will rise above what time can tell, And as of yore, wefll sing once more the song we love so well. ' CHORUS y Spirit of Waco is in our hearts so strong, Gladly our voices shout in mighty song, In battle or contest we'll ever stand by yon, Spirit of Waco, to Waco High School true.

X69 T was a dark, dull and soundless night. The atmosphere held a pecul- fi' iar tenseness and warmness difficult to define or describe. If it was summer, the air was vibrant with none of those peculiar noises which are to be heard on any calm and peaceful summer night. ' l l looked overhead and there were no stars. There was no wind. Darkness held illimitable dominion over all. l held out my hands. l could see them but nothing else. Where was I? l seemed to be sitting or rather reclining in something which was, with- out a doubt, in motion. l endeavored to arouse myself and sharpen my senses. Lol l heard a small but regular splashing sound and an infinitely small click-click immediately afterwards. Evidently then, l was in a boat. But on what nocturnal voyage was l being taken unknowingly and unwitting- ly? What River of Silence was this that l was on? There seemed to be a hushing influence in its very flow. No murmur arose from its bed. l called out to question my pilot ffor surely l must have one of some kindl. There was no answer. Nothing but this all engulfing blackness. It was a mystery all insoluble. The mournful influence of the unseen was forcefully as- serting itself upon me. There was a tightening of the senses. A dull, cold chill spread over me. There could be but one explanation. Death, in approach- ing me, had stalked with his black shadow before me, and enveloped his vic- tim. I was overpowered by an intense sentiment of horrow, unaccountable yet unendurable. How long this state of uncertainty continued, l cannot say. But finally l saw at a seemingly great distance away, a feeble gleam of imprisoned light. And before l could even begin to wonder what it was the boat stopped. l was assisted by invisible hands CI could not feel them, but knew only that a force was compelling me to step out of the boatl, right into this patch of dim illumination. l stepped on some steps, and as l did so they swayed gently beneath me. l knew then that l must have been entering a houseboat of some sort. But just as l had crossed the threshold, a detaining hand was placed upon my arm. l turned and saw at my side a figure, the sight of which benumbed my very organs of thought. lt was impossible to connect its ghastly expression with any idea of simple humanity. There was that cadaverousness of complexion, and that large, liquid and luminous eye which are associated only with the thought of spectral creatures. The garments that he wore seemed to float about him rather than cling to his person. ln a hollow voice, which served to intensify my fear the more, he asked, Your name? He was evidently a doorkeeper. My teeth were chattering and l was still unable to think. After a few seconds, which seemed like hours, l managed to say, l-I can't remember. At this answer he burst forth in unholy glee. Needless to say, I was ter- rified beyond expression. At that moment from somewhere nearby a voice Z.. , as ' -rf A . tr-,lf - - . PAGE TWENTY-EIGHT pronounced my name very distinctly. This sound seemed to break the spell, and l wheeled around to discover from whence it came. There was not a soul standing close to me. Even the spectral doorkeeper had dropped back against the wall at the sound of that voice pronouncing my name. Taking for granted that my name was really all that he wanted of me, I fixed my attention on the rest of the people in the large room which l had entered. There was the most curious, novel, and altogether motley conglom- eration of beings that l had ever seen gathered together in one place. And those people! l-low unusual they seemedl Or were they people at all? They had the shape and size of ordinary human beings, but they hardly had the aspect of natural, everyday people. There was something lacking. Their faces were real and animated enough, although not beyond comment, as some of them were gesticulating strangely. Finally l hit upon the difference. They were not substantiall They were shadowy, and by straining my eyes l could even see through theml Ghosts. Again my teeth chattered and once more fear crept over me. l was just be- ginning to wonder if I couldn't shrivel up and hide somewhere when l heard something that made my head swim. Imagine how l felt. It was like coming from the darkest of tunnels into the brightest of sunlight. Someone was singing that song. It dicln't matter that his voice was shaky and hollow. The mere words were enough to give me new life. But, l thought, what on earth was he doing singing that ditty in this terrible place? Well, by cracky, look who's here! l jumped and turned around to see the grinning countenance of Royston Haney! An old classmate of mine back in my high school days. l certainly felt relieved to see someone whom at least l could feel at home with. i'But, Royston, where on earth are we, and what are you and all these other people doing here, and how and when and why did they bring me here, and by all means tell me who that was singing that song? l-le laughed a laugh that sent shivers through me, but that was meant to be a merry one. More puzzles. One question at a time, he protested. ln the first place I'll tell you where we are. We are not on earth at all. We are in that region that has no name. This houseboat is the place of the court of judgment where mortals are judged before they are taken to their Final destination. All these people here are merely awaiting their turn to be judged in that adjoining room there. Here he pointed to a door that was entirely black. h Then that explains the reason why they all look so weird and phantom- like. They are not people at all, but only ghosts. He laughed again. You are confusing your pronouns. You should say we instead of they. l realized this mystery had not yet been solved. I ques- tioned him further. But who in the name of all that's reasonable was that singing that song a few minutes ago? Why, .couldn't you see who that was? Or perhaps you wouldn't have known him anyway. Why, that was our old friend, lsadore Adelman. He used to be a fruit vender and entertained his patrons with that song. But you haven't yet told me the name of that dark and dismal water- way out there. PAGE TWENTY NINE Why, that is the famous River Styx. You surely know what and where that river is supposed to be. l did, and my mind was instantly filled with gloomy conjectures. After I had been judged by that awful tribunal in there l would have to be rowed across to the other side of that terrible river. And after l arrived on the other side what would l find in store for me,-the land of eternal gladness and sunshine, or the land of eternal hotness, but not sunshine? But away with these dismal thoughts. l determined to pass the time as pleasantly as l might until l was called to be judged. And one of the best ways to do that, l soon found out, was to talk over old times. Royston, l said, have you any idea what has become of any of those old classmates of ours back there in old Waco Hi? He became interested at once. Well, let me see. l believe l know what has become of a great many of them. First of all thereis Stephen Flood. l am sure that he is known all over the nation as being one of the powers in the labor world. A leader of the National Bricklayers' Union, you remember. Yes, l replied. I remember him and l also know, of course, of Gail Hamilton, the scintillating star in the operatic world of today. There is Martha Torbett, too, who comes in this list, leading lady of the land when her husband, President Googow, was in office. Also Mae Ellen Bergstrom, president of the largest woman's college in the country, and Boone McReynlds, who held a world's record for speaking I4 hours in the Senate without taking a drink of water. But it is of some of those other worthies that l wish to hear. How about Poe Lovett, Pauline Adcock, Mary Alice Baker, Charles Saxon and Nick Mainer? Well now, Poe Lovett, I believe, is a power on Wall Street, a sort of magnate of finance l think they call him. You never hear of him in the papers because he is so modest and unassuming. Pauline Adcock, the last l heard of her was as an old maid school teacher. Mary Alice Baker won the giggling mara- thon in I930, thereby gaining international prominence. l am surprised you haven't heard of it. Charles Saxon was the power behind the throne who came very near electing W. Bryan in l936. Nick Mainer is beloved by a large congregation as a Baptist minister. l might just as well tell you about all those l can think of, since you seem to be so interested. Well, now, there's Greta Brister, Ruby Davis, Albina Farek, Lucille Keton, Ethel and Erna jackson, Ethel Kelly, and Thelma and Juanita Smith who have all united their means and ability in a noble enter- prise. They have established a million dollar home for homeless canaries. Then there's Lionel Ellis, the famous inventor, who made a fortune from his invention of a collapsible stepladder: and Joseph Weiser, a well known detective in his State. Arnold Wakefield, if my memory serves me right, was a book agent, and Womack Gillum made a tidy sum as a silver tonguecl soap salesman. And do you remember Eska Gage, one of the beauties of the class? She won fame on Broadway as one of the best of a pulchritudinous lot of of stars engaged in the fascinating art of high kicking. Allene Mahoney, another attractive member of our class, married an ltalian by the name of Count Spagettinzza, and the last l heard of her was that she was well known in the ltalian court circles. Speaking of court circles reminds me of another worthy classmate. Minnie Miller is who I am thinking of. She, soon after the completion of her high school course, studied to be a missionary. PAGE THIRTY She was sent to the Fiji lslands. There, by virtue of her beauty and goodness, she captured the heart of the crown prince-an Oxford graduate by the way -and married him. They say she is ideally happy. Before I leave the subject of court circles I must tell you about Leslie Davis. He, poor fellow, seemed to be burdened by an over abundance of good looks. He married three times, and between being summoned to the court in his various divorce suits and being called there on multitudinous charges of speeding and the like, he became a regular member of one type of court circles. And while I am dissertating on the subject of beauty, l had better bring in the news l have of Mildred Duncan. She, together with several others whom I am sure you remember, Mattie Dugger, jesse Gordon, Minnie Howell, Corrinne Lindquist, Florence Lumbley, and Esther Marlowe, were very promi- nent in the National NVomen's party. They succeeded in enlarging and better- ing this organization in countless ways. But I started to tell you of Mildred. Her Titian beauty and stateliness won the admiration of a certain millionaire mine owner who determined to have her for his. But, she scorned him and his millions and stuck to her politics because she said that was more worth while. Now what do you think of that? There was yet another member of the class who attracted a millionaire. Truel Pace it was who became a private secretary to a young Croesus and afterwards married him. Frances Taylor, another one of our beauties became one of the best known and most popular of the artist's models in New York. She even sat for several famous European artists. If you have ever gone to Paris I am sure you found her face gracing at least one wall in the famous art galleries there. I believe there are still some more boys that I have not accounted for. I remember Ernest Waldrop in particular who spent the greater part of his time in collecting antique mouse traps. He seemed to have a passion for this, and spent nearly all of his time at it. When he was still a young man his third cousin died and left him some farm land. A few years later oil was discovered on his land and consequently he became immensely wealthy. How's that for luck? Several in our old class have remained in or near Waco. Alvis Whit- field, Hortense Schonberg, and Yetta Rosenberg, by the means of their com- bined money and efforts, established a popular candy kitchen in Waco. They have the candy trade practically cornered in that old city of ours, and are making money hand over fist. Genevieve Hester and Ruby Long have both married and settled down in happy homes. You will find there, also, Hattie Moncrief, a prominent lady magistrate. 'iNear by Waco in one of the small towns you will find Robert Brandon and R. E. Burnham,-partners in a grocery store. This store used to be the place of meeting for all the prominent whittling artists in the county. They held their annual tournament there, and Bob himself won the championship for three consecutive years. They were also interested in pitching horse shoes. R. E. was the chief 'high-pitcherf And oh yes! There is another one still left in Waco. Gertrude Winkler played the piano at Goggans or rather what used to be Goggans. And she played it so attractively that they did a rushing business in jazz music. I think she finally married the proprietor.

Well if you really must know,-l haven't been the only pebble on the beach by a long shot. l stayed back in Texas, too, you know, and when- ever any of the folks around home mentioned anything about me the others always thought of a plow, two old gray mules, and a cotton patch. So l sup- pose you can make a rough guess at my occupation. Now comes the momentous question: what have you, yourself, been playing at all these years? Yes, he asked me that question. l began to think, naturally, of my past life. What had l been doing all those long, long years? Now what had I been doing? l couldn't think of a single happening in that vast space of time! My rnind was a blank! And just as l was about to tell Royston that l had suffered a lapse of memory, that black door from the judgment room slowly opened. Two guards robed all in black came out and were advancing slowly toward us. l felt in my bones that they were coming after me. And then when they were almost upon me-everything vanished! l heard a loud and familiar sound. It pierced and irritated my ears. Snap-ah-ah! Snap-ah-ah! Alas! Being an experienced Fordist l realized what it was. Some one nearby was cranking a l'ord. Away, false illusions! Begone, dark spirits of the underworld! Here l found myself once more back on old terra flrma. The mellow tones of that Henry Ford symphony had shattered my dream! For a dream it was. . DANA M. WILCOX. With apologies to Hattie Moncrief.

N nineteen hundred and twenty, we, the class of '24, largest in the history of old Waco High, did enter upon our career as active members of the best school in the world. Our entrance was an occasion of riotous mirth fto othersj. We were victims of the designing I Sophs, and cunning Juniors: to the Seniors, we were objects of contempt. I Our year of Slimedom was one mass of ills. Much of our lunch money went to buy f '..i seats in chapel, basement slips, library passes and the thousand other tricks to which we timid Slimes were easy victims. Life was one continuous flurry in which we ran about like frightened sheep. even forgetting which side of the campus belonged to the boys and which to the girls, thus being severely reprimanded by Miss Annie. Thus ended the year of the beginning: our second was not like unto it. ln September, 1921, we again entered the portals of Waco's monument dedicated to the uplifting of the mind. Oh! what joy, what freedom, how good it was to live, we were no longer Slimes, but mighty Sophs. Ahl how sweetly sounded the sweet whack! whack! of the paddle on some low Slime's breeches. He deserved it, the poor Hsh, why did he have the nerve to live? Alas! we soon found that the school did not look upon our meritous knowledge as highly as did we. The teachers delighted in displaying our ignorance, and making us the laughing stock when we tried to pose as wise guys before the green Freshmen. But we found comfort in the old saying a man is never accepted by his neighbors, and were thoroughly convinced that the rest of Waco High was too dumb to realize our true worth. Although our second year was beset with many pitfalls, it was nevertheless, a much better success as a whole than our first. We had several members on the cham- pionship football team of the State, and also on the girls championship basket ball team. Of these members we were very proud, and gave all credit of the success of said teams to the Sophomore class. fstrange, no one else did.J The dial of Fate moved rapidly onward. no longer were we happy-go-lucky Sophs, but dig- nified and solemn Juniors. It was at this step in our development that we began to have the first symptoms of wisdom. Patriotism to old Waco High was deeply imbedded in us by pep meetings and we cheered the school of our choice again to victory. We now began to take a really responsible part in school citizenship and toirealize that at last we were somebody. However, our studies bore down upon us with great weight this year and our ranks were diminished by several who were unable to keep up in our flight to wisdom. At last came the long-hoped-for goal whose threshold we had hitherto looked upon as unattain- able. We were Seniors. Life had opened its doors for our conquest. However, we soon found that this was somewhat of a vain delusion. Studies were demanding and the responsibilities great. We were overloaded with work, but nevertheless found time for the many happy socials which came our way. This also was Leap Year and the sickness which had somewhat characterized the junior class now be- came a contagious disease among the Seniors. The wary little god of Love was very busy. and each day took heavy toll of our numbers until it was necessary for the generalissimo to take drastic measures to stop his raids on our wonder football team. Thus the days of the class of '24g leaders in football, baseball, track, basket ball, debating, oratory and many other fields of achievements, drew to an end. However, before closing we must mention Senior Day when we were again little barefoot boys and pigtailed girls back in the wonderland of puppy love. Now the mighty class of '24 closes in a glorious history in the archives of the massive Waco High. Some have carved their names high in the annals of our class history, Ad Astra Per Asperaf' others have been content with,more meager lot. Our past has been one of promise, our future shall be one of fulfillment. We may be scattered to the corners of this universe, but may our glory ever echo back to its birthright-the school of our praises and endless adoration, the Waco High forever.

Class Historian. y W K ,J PAGE ONE HUNDRED THREE une Class Prophecy YDFN! ATE one evening, on the eighth anniversary of my graduation, l was Abit., sitting on the porch of our home in Virginia, where we had moved ' E four years ago. l couldn't help but wonder where all my classmates were and what they were doing. l had not seen any of them since we L ii l had left Waco except Dorothy, who was now enjoying Washington society, and l wondered if they could still be in Waco. While these thoughts were lingering in my mind, l sank down in a big, comfortable chair and fell asleep. And this is what l dreamed: l thought l was in a country called Morrisland, where the streets were crowded with busy people, and seemingly l was the only one who was idle. l strolled up what seemed to be the main street, but stopped instantly when l saw the advertisement on the outside of a theatre, Special today-Elizabeth Spencer, famous toe dancer, and Louisa Weatherby, high diver! l imme- diately hurried up to buy a ticket, when who should be selling them but Pearl Bailey. l was so astounded by now, that l could hardly speak, but l asked her what in the world she and Bibba and Louisa were doing there. She said, O well, l suppose you know that Frank Wood, Tom Sampson and lke -H No, l don't know anything, I interrupted excitedly, Tell me all about them! And lke Teague, she continued, own the theatre, and since we had nothing better to do- O, Pearl, l interrupted the second time, give me a ticket, quick, l can scarcely wait to see them. l noticed when the show was half over that I was sitting by Sue Thoma- son. She was chewing gum, which was nothing unusual. She said she was visiting Ruth Lewis, there, but that she was living in San Antonio, acting as stenog- rapher to Eugene Lambert. She said that Charles lVlcKennon and john Mc- Cullough had the Ford agency down there and were doing well. She also told me that Allan Richards was still studying faithfully to be a baby doctor. and that Burgess Pool and Frances Guittard had been made famous by dis- covering just how to control the winds and waves. After the show, l was allowed to go behind the stage, and don't think for a minute that l didn't sit right down and make Louisa and Bibba tell me all they knew about the rest of our classmates. l found out that Tom Woodward, Bob Park and john Bell had formed and perfected a great circus, after roaming around in the jungles of Africa and Brazil for five years in order to obtain enough elephants and other wild ani- mals to make up the show. They added also that Mary Lois Buchanan was the snake charmer, and Glenn Jacobs, the tight rope walker. They said that Gertrude Williams had recently become Mrs. John Drew johnson, and that she was in Europe now, where Mr. Johnson had organized a professional football team, and as a result, was acquiring great wealth. l also learned that Weir Washam had been successful in writing a song Pilot ONE HUNDRED Foun X entitled My Raving Beauty. He was compelled to write this on account of bankruptcy of his laundry business he had started in Waco. Mildred Walker and Corinne Standefer had invented a way to change the color of your eyes, in two minutes, to any shade desirable! fl had not noticed until then that Louisa's eyes were now a beautiful blue instead of brown as they had always beenll I endured all of these facts, but when they told me that John Naylor had acquired religion and was now in Australia trying to convert the poor people, I could not stand it any longer, so I left. I started on up the street to a hotel, but several things attracted my eye on the way. One that especially startled me, was a girl patiently walking up and down with a placard over her shoulder which read: Tonight at the Palace-The World's Greatest Hula-Hula Dancers-Elizabeth Burrows, Alline Neeley, Hen- nie Merle Holloway, Annie Lee Bush, and Natlie Bushnell. Also-famous motorcycle races by Ola Smith, Margaret Aynesworth and Ruth Stevenson. As I approached the girl I recognized her to be Margueritte Wallace. I walked on, but before I reached the hotel a sudden crash caused me to turn, and seeing a throng of people gather in the next block, I started in that direction. When I reached there someone told me that a street car had run into a dairy wagon. I pushed through the crowd and on up to the wrecked cars and found that no one was hurt, but to my great surprise learned that Adrian Sanger was the street car conductor, and that Jack Hawkins was the driver of the dairy wagon. I heard gruff voices ordering the crowd to scatter and I turned around to leave, but instead spoke to Lucien Hampton, Cecil Crow, and Cary Canon, who were now the three leading policemen of modern times. just as I stepped inside the door of the hotel a bell boy met me, asking if I had any luggage. I thought his face looked familiar, and after a minute I asked if he were not Harris Lee. I-Ie nodded and was very much surprised when he recognized me. He said that he had been working there for two years, and liked it so well that he had decided to make it his business until he was forced to stop on account of old age. When I went in to dinner that night, I was indeed surprised to find that Louis Slade, Frank Bradley, and Leonard Frazell were waiters, and that Lewis Barbato and Sam Amsler were chief cooks. The next morning I started out in the opposite direction to which I took the day before, thinking that perhaps I might run across some one else I knew. Before I realized it I was in the slums of the city, where the narrow streets were crowded, and the shacks were built closely together. On the steps of one of these roughly built shacks were Mary Stuart and Lucy Moncrief, peeling potatoes, and on the next corner was Penn Harrell selling newspapers. l walked up to him and bought a newspaper, thinking he would recognize me, but of course he didn't. I noticed on the front page in large headlines, Di- vorce Case Between Virginia Kirkpatrick and Clyde Kelley Because Husband Had Been Seen with Strange Woman Twice! I also noticed where a won- derful new discovery had been made by Misses Robbie Rene Newman and Elizabeth Henshaw, which enabled anyone to become thin in five minutes by taking a certain kind of medicine and following out instructions carefully. The PAQ: ONE HUNDRED FWF next thing that caught my eye was the wedding announcement of Miss Marcia Lena Miller and Mr. Alton Martin. l noticed that Homa Hill was weather prophet, that Harold Stafford had recently been elected a United States Sen- ator, and that Arthur Nowakowsky and George Germond were running for the presidency. Before l walked another block-a man came tearing out of a shack across the street, with his wife right behind him holding a rolling pin ready to break it on his head the next minute-however, no less than a dozen kids came to their father's rescue, which probably saved his life. l asked someone who the couple were and they said that it was Mr. and Mrs. Parker Naylor fMrs. Naylor was Veta johnson before she marriedl, who had little scraps similar to this quite often. lt seemed to me as if l had walked 40 miles falthough it probably had not been over one or twoj, when l came to a strange looking house, which had the sign on the outside, Fortune Telling Here. Haroldsky Smithovitchf' l thought that this would be a good chance to Find out about the rest of my chums, so l went up to the door and a very strange person met me, led me into a strange room and left me for a few minutes. A red light filled the room and the atmosphere was perfumed with incense. l was beginning to feel some- what frightened at the thought of being in a place like that one, when a large man walked in. He wore a long robe, sandals, and a turban on his head, be- sides many peculiar ornaments. He appeared to be a rather old man for his beard was long. He motioned for me to take a seat by a small table, and he sat down opposite me. He told me that l might ask of him anything l wished, so l immediately asked him what had become of the rest of my friends with whom l had graduated. He thought for a minute or two, then began: Frances Abernathy, Elizabeth Holloway and Marjorie Reisner are now financing an orphans' home in France, having become rich in the movies. Frances Collie, Edna Brown, and Mildred Womack are all married hap- pily and are living in luxury in New York City. Audrey Mae Stricker, Hallie Belle Eason and Katherine Street are somewhere in the western part of the United States, making a special study of the flowers, after which they expect to write a book on this subject. Edward Burleson and Bill Trice have struck oil and are immensely wealthy. Neither has married yet, but it is impossible for this condition to last over one more year. Allene Jeanes is at the head of a woman's college in Missouri. Dorothy Fentress, Alice Louise Nash, Eleanor Lucas, Eleanor Potts, Mildred Thomas, and Frances Stanard have joined the i933 Follies. Sue Henry, Nona O'Brien, and Bertie May Torbett spent most of their time in Atlantic City flirting with the men. Margaret Harrison is principal of a country school in Texas, in which school Eva Cheaves, Loraine Arrowood and Gretchen Brooks are teachers. Roderick Mitchell is a dentist now and has recently invented a very wonderful tooth brush, which is being used by all of the most renowned people. Joel Hunt and Trephor Ewing are among the very best carpenters in Eddy, Texas, now. ' PAGE ONE HUNDRED Six O lVlonette Tilley spends most of her time getting divorces. She has just married for the fifth and, l think, last time. She now has her home in Cuba. Caroline Pryor has recently been selected the most stylish woman in New York. Rosalie Piazza plans most of her clothes for her. Johnnie Rae McKay, Neita Culberson, Marguerite O'l..eary, and Frances Kelly are leading characters in the Olson-lngram and McLaren Vaudeille Shows. Ruby Brown, Almarie Bullock, Curtis Horn, and Annie D. Kendrick are flying away life, making aeroplane tours around the world every two years. Annie Louise Hester, Frances Gilmore, Faye Campbell, and Annie Mae Robertson are in Brazil studying music. Melba james has also been there, but having fallen in love with a Brazilian and married him, has recently returned to the States to live. G. Whitaker, James Baker, and Curtis Laughlin, prize fighting cham- pions having made millions, have recently retired from the ring. Gertrude Block has lost her mind in her fruitless attempt to find a true lover. She has been sent back to Germany, where they think that within 50 years she will forget her misfortunes and be her normal self again. Faye Hadley, Rhoda Forsgard, and Marguerite Lemke are studying dancing in Honolulu, and hope to put up a dancing academy in Waco when they return. john Simpson and Edwin Sims are still free, though they have had a hard struggle. They left America two years ago and went to Italy, thinking they would escape these horrid flappers, only to find that Italy is the country where flappers were invented. Margaret Hawtof is Mr. Rockefeller's chief maid, and Morris Jacob- son is his butler. Menlin Kuehn, Frank Nemmer, and Marion Pearce are bricklayers in Arkansas. Frances Cook, Beulah Smith and Geraldine Stampp are famous concert pianists. Bill Ragsdale, Mildred Pewitt, Gladys Frasier, Elsie Hoppe, and Beulah Gaither are traveling over the world collecting fine pieces of art. They expect to become wealthy by selling these in America when they return. Menta Carlisle, Willie Sloan, and lmogene Berry are driving service cars in Atlantic City fbeing very much up to datel. Fielding Wood, Abe Greenberg, and Robert Smith are all presidents of banks in Dallas. Weaver Nott and Eldridge Poe are two of the ten smartest men in America today.

MPIONSHIP FOGTBALL SEASGN SEPTEMBER I 0 Coach Paul Tyson, with l 3 letter men back from the season of '22, began his daily foot- ball practices and started his work to round a formidable team into shape to represent the Gold and White for the approaching football season. With Captain Boody johnson rapidly recovering from an injury to his leg, which he had received during the past baseball season, Tyson had hopes of putting a team in the run- ning that was capable of giving any of the high- powered interscholastic teams a real battle. WACO-CORSICANA Tyson starved his Tigers for about three weeks and then one fine day he turned them loose on the State Home team from Corsicana. The slaughtering took place at the Cotton Pal- ace gridiron, and a good crowd witnessed the heart-rending spectacle. For four long periods the Tigers gnawed, clawed, bit, and chewed the Orphans. It was only the beginning of the Tigers' march toward the State championship goal, and a good start it was, for when the Tigers finished with the visitors the score stood Waco, 723 Corsicana, 0. There were no stars in the Waco-Orphans game, that is, there were no great, outstanding stars. Every man on the team played together and the team functioned as a whole. The backfield proved to be fast and furi- ous. They ran almost perfect interference, hit JOHNSON, Capgain the line hard, were quick to catch a hole and to dart through it. All this and more convinced the close followers of the game that there was more than merely a reputation ' behind Tyson's Tigers. WACO-McGREGOR For the second contest of the season Tyson had matchcl a game with the McGregor club, the one that held Tyson's men to the close score of Zl to 0 for the season of '22. The men on the Waco club were out for vengeance, and with the two separate backfielcls and their stalwart line the Tigers got sweet revenge. The score in this contest was l27-0. The McGregor boys could not PAGE. ONE HUNDRED Founrsm: Teamwork Featured al Temple: Hun! Carrying Ball gain a first down through the Tiger lines nor around the ends. They had to be content with just a glance at the old pig skin every now and then. ln this game Melvin Groves came more into prominence on the battle- field than he had done heretofore. But the Tigers were again all stars and were further proved that they were going through the season playing as a team and not as individuals. Some people had begun this early to predict the championship high school game to be between Waco and Abilene. WACO-SOUTHWESTERN SCRUBS ' The Gold and White met their first real competition when they took on the fast Southwestern Scrubs team, in the third game of the l923 season. It was the first real test for the Tiger line, and right well the Tigers stood the test. The fans were a bit surprised at the outcome of the contest, and really expected the locals to come out with a larger lead. The team played a won- derful game, however, and deserved the 3 to 0 win. It was in the first part of the game that Weir Washam, the Tiger featherweight wonder, booted a perfect field goal through the cross bars and scored three points that later won the game for the Tigers. This was the game that Charles Taylor and Pottie McCullough proved that they were on the team and would be there through the remainder of the season. Time and again Taylor rushed through his opposition and tackled his man behind the line of scrimmage. lVlcCullough came out in the Scrub game as well as did Taylor, and like Taylor, stopped his man on many occasions before he reached the line. r.,...i- Try as they might, the Tigers could not put over a touchdown. They worked the ball to within five and ten yards of the opponent's goal several times, but the necessary punch was lacking i Groves Returning Pun! Against Cranger PAGE ONE HUNDRED Flrri-:EN that day and the Tigers had to be content with the three point victory. Kelley was the scintillating backfield star l r . - I of the day, and with his ex- pert punting was probably the feature of the game. WACO-BELTON The Tigers were looking forward to clever compe- tition when they met the Belton Club, and that is just what they found. Coach Tyson had not counted on a rainy day, and that also is what happened. The Tigers, though, did not lose the game. They fought all the harder and downed the Belton Tigers I2 to 0. With a drizzling rain spreading over the field during the greater part of the contest, the Tigers fought the Tigers. Rovillo Taking Ou! Tackle Againsl Granger johnny Naylor took care of the quarter-back position that day and inci- dentally was the star of the game. Naylor, after three years on the Tiger team, has at last found his real stride. With a neat side step, as quick as the snap of a whip, he passed the Belton tacklers up, and scored the first touchdown. It was, however, the old Boody johnson that brought the ball in striking distance of the goal. It was the first demonstration that Boody had made that he was the same old whirlwind at the game. With the ball resting on the Belton I5 yard line, Naylor decided it was time to score, and tucking the hog's hide under his left arm, sped on his merry way. The run was made all the more remarkable by the difficulty in which he had to side step and swing his body on so muddy a Held. Weir Washam scored the second touchdown, when he rammed the line several times, carrying the oval to the one yard line. Here he was again called, and he again responded, taking a couple of Belton linemen on over with him. Weir Washam was one of the Tigers' best backfield men. Washam, with the exception of Wooten of Abilene, was probably the best returner of punts in interscholastic circles. ln the third quarter the Wacoans were quickly brought to their senses. Kelley Passing lo Slade al Hillsboro for Big Cain PAGE ONE HUNDRED SIXTEEN r . z I ' 4 f i t ,.. ki JL Kelley Plunging with the Ball at Temple and given a rude jolt, when Hallmark, Belton halfback, received a Waco punt on his own I5 yard line and made a bee line for the Tiger goal. Indeed the Tiger goal lay I5 yards away, but the speedy Hallmark was passing over the distance yard by yard. A Waco tackler swung at him on the 20 yard line, and missed, another on the 25 yard line, and so on until Hallmark reached the Tiger ten yard line at which place Pottie McCullough overtook him, and Q brought him down on the Tiger three yard line. The play saved the day for the Tigers, and the greatest vic- tory of the season that far was registered. WACO-CLIF TON With the Tiger's fleet footed backfield s l o w e cl down to a marked extent, clue to a muddy field, Coach johnson and Naylor Hilting the Line Tysoyfs pupils defeated the Clifton team at Carroll Field by the decisive score of 33 to 0. Many fumbles featured the game, caused by the slippery ball. The fast Tiger backfield could not get away for long gains and eventually were forced to resort to straight football to put over the victory. Clif- ton fought hard but could not stand the terrific on- slaught of the Tiger machine and the visitors gallantly went down in defeat. The Tigers were greatly inspired by the presence of their cap- tain, back again at his old position at left half. M Boody did not get off any spectacu- Naylor and Washam Running Interference for Hunt -r PAGE ONE HUNDRED SEVENTEEN lar runs during the game, but was consistent in his playing. Every time he took the ball he tore off short, snappy gains through the line. The generalship of Frank lsh in this game was one of the outstanding features. ish will make Coach Tyson a valuable man next year, when he will be one of the coach's most dependable men. The Clifton eleven was the first club during the sea- son to make over one first down on the Tigers. The visitors scored four first downs in the contest, with Hobbs the individual star of the Clifton club. Again Cam Alexander was the star of the line. Coming from the ranks of the subs, Alexander is now being considered as one of the Tigers' most dependable ends. Louis Slade, Tiger left end, served the fans the greatest number of thrills for the day. On several occasions Slade leaped high into the air and brought down the slippery pig skin. Slade is probably the Tigers' most sensational pass snatcher. There were other stars along with the above mentioned individuals, but they were too numerous to mention. The Tigers for the past three years have had whole teams of stars and at times it seems un- just to point out any particular ones. WACO-CAMERON The Tigers met the Cameron club at the Cotton Palace on Saturday, October 20th, and playing a superb brand of football overwhelmed that team by the score of 52 to 0. By this time the Tigers were looming as the probable district champions, having at this time a much greater record than any other team in Central Texas. Throughout the first quarter the Tigers did not TAYLOR' Capiain'Eled score, and the fans were forced to look forward to a close game. This forward look was removed from the countenances of those present when in the second quarter the Tigers registered two touchdowns and a field goal. From that time on the Tigers added many more points to their total. Groves again stood out as the star of the game. This lad made one sen- sational run after another, hammering and side stepping his way through the stubborn Cameron defense for two touchdowns and many long gains. At the right end position Alexander starred. This fellow was a candidate for the team of '22, but gave up the job before the season was well under way, He came back to the Tiger ranks at the beginning of the football workouts, and since that time proved himself to be a comer. WACO-I-IILLSBORO On Friday, November 9th, the Tigers met the Hillsboro Eagles and de- feated them at Hillsboro, I3 to 0. It was the second game of the season that PAGE ONE HUNDRED EIGHT!-ZEN Taylor Running Perfect Interference at Cranger gave the Tigers a scare. The Hillsboro Eagles had been doped to be one of the best teams in the race for the district championship, and they proved the fact when they held the Tigers to a bare I3 points. The honor ofscoring both touchdowns went to Weir Washam, who played the best game he had turned in for the Tigers up to that time. Washam, for the first time during the early part of the season, showed his old time stuff, and proved to the hundreds of spectators that he was the same old Weir. ln this game Kitty Kathcart came into prominence. l-le is a valuable man and will be a real cog in Tyson's machine of '24, Charlie Taylor again starred in the line. He began about this time to be rated as one of the most consistent line stars on the Tiger club. Never a game passed but Taylor turned in a whale of a contest. Tyson was beginning to de- pend greatly on this sterling guard. Taylor, however, was not the only line star. Playing the guard position as he had never played it before, and constantly dropping his man behind the line, tearing the Hillsboro line into threads, and opening wide holes for his own backs to go through, was the work that Pottie McCullough contributed for the day. Robert Brandon, while never flashing any great amount of bril- liancy, was always there, playing his same consistent brand of ball. The Eagles found it a difficult job to gain an inch or so of ground over this Tiger tackle. Parker Naylor turned in a good game for the day, as did Louis Slade. WACO-MARLIN After defeating the Hillsboro Eagles for the semi-finals in the lnter- scholastic League race, the Tigers were told by the State authorities to journey down to Marlin and take on the Bulldogs. The game was to decide the cham- pion of district nine. The Tigers prepared for the worst. They knew Marlin had a good team and Coach Tyson had left nothing undone in conditioning his team for the battle. On Friday, November I6th, the Tigers went down there and were followed by half the people of Waco. The Tigers were primed for the contest and the result was that they played the best game of the season thus far, swamping the Bulldogs 42 to 0. PAGE ONE HUNDRED NINETEEN ln the Marlin game Captain Boody Johnson flashed some of his old time brilliance. Time after time the Tiger ramrod was given the ball, and each time he followed through for a substantial gain. Weir Washam entered the battle in the beginning of the second period, and capped the climax. On returning punts this speedy back had no equal. At one time he raced nearly 90 yards for a touchdown. Washam in this game reached the high standard that he maintained throughout the remainder of the season. Cam Alexander was the star wing-man of the day. He recovered several fumbles and intercepted all the passes for the day. It was a crowning victory for the Tigers, for they moved into the place made vacant for the I923 district champion. The Tigers were already cham- pions, and the victory gave them that title for the fourth consecutive year. Coach Tyson's men were now ready for the raw bi-district meet. WACO-CALVERT The victorious Tigers, fresh from their encounter with Marlin, worked a week in preparation for the Calvert eleven. The result of the Calvert game was to decide the bi-district championship. The Waco eleven was ready and everything was primed for the clash. So, on the following week the Calvert entry journeyed to Waco and met the Tigers at the Cotton Palace gridiron. They brought a goodly number of fans along with them and they were all confident of a Calvert victory. The result of that game was Waco, 73g Cal- vert, 0. Although the Calvert boys were pitifully outclassed, they fought with all the strength and power that they had, and struggled to keep the score down as much as they possibly could. Clyde Abe Kelley was the star of that game. Kelley had received an early season injury to his knee and was forced to retire from service for sev- eral weeks. His first appearance was made in the Marlin game and right well he played, but he really reached his old time form in the Calvert game. The visitors could not stop the rapid advances of Kelley and often he slipped through the Calvert line for long gains. WACO-GRANGER The Tigers had been so successful and had gone so far in the race that there only remained three more games to be played before they were to be crowned Texas State Champions. The first of these three games was to be against Granger. Granger had a mean reputation in this neck of the woods. They were reputed to be big huskies that played the old 19th century style of football. They were not supposed to be up on the tactics of the game, but were said to have won all their games on brute strength. All these rumors, however, were entirely false, for never did the Tigers meet a cleaner, more sportsman-like club than that of the Granger eleven. They were one of the best teams that the Tigers had met that far in the march, but the Granger boys matched their game on the wrong day. Never in the history of the school had a representative club of Gold and PAGE ONE HUNDRED TWENTY White played football better than the Tigers on that day. The game was played on Woodson Field at Temple, and a special train full of enthusiastic fans went down to witness the clash, saying nothing of the hundreds of peo- ple who went through the country in cars. The Tiger clan staged a parade before the game and deafened Progressive Temple with Waco yells. To make a long story short, the Tigers won the game. They fought the Granger Lions off their feet and put over another of those never to be for- gotten Tiger victories. The score in that game was Waco, 74, Granger, 0. WACO-BEAUMONT Beaumont was to be the next victim. The Tigers had to board a south- bound train and focus their attention on the swampy team of Beaumont. Tyson did not know what sort of a team the Oilers had to offer for the sea- son, but Central Texas fans had heard a great deal about them. They were reputed to have a powerful eleven. Back in '21, the Tigers played the Beau- monters at the Cotton Palace and beat them decisively, but the South Texas entry had a better club in l923. Captain johnson and company expected a hard game. On Saturday, December l5th, the Tigers met the Beaumont Wildcats and defeated them to the tune of I4 to 0. Captain Boody started the game at his old half back position, and far away from home he displayed the best bit of footwork that he had to offer for the season. It was Boody who rammed the line for the first touchdown of the game, carrying a few of the Wildcats over with him. It was Boody who carried the oval to the two yard line, placing it where the Tigers could account for another counter. The Tiger line held the Wildcats and stopped the powerful smashes of the star Beaumont backs. The Tiger wingmen cut off the Wildcats' widely known end runs. ln fact, the whole Beaumont attack was smothered and for the eleventh time in one season it was all in all a Tiger day. Johnny Naylor, at the quarter back position, displayed the best head- work that was seen in interscholastic circles for the year. It was the quick thinking of Naylor that brought the Tiger scores. The Tiger general had matched his wits with one of the best quarter backs in the State and won. The victory in that game meant that the Tigers were to meet the Abilene Eagles for the championship of the State of Texas. WACO-ABILENE The Waco-Abilene game which was played at Dallas Friday, December Zlst, was to decide the championship of the State. The Tigers had played eleven games and won them all with the hope of defeating their old rival again, and appropriating the second lnterscholastic League trophy. It was the biggest day of the year for Abilene and for Waco. The two teams met at the Fair Park Stadium, and the fight was on. How those Tigers did fight that day! With a slippery, rain-soaked field to go against them the Waco boys were greatly handicapped, but they put up a fight that was char- acteristic of a bunch of snarling, hungry Tigers, and even though they were defeated, they won a moral victory. Tyson's Tigers had to be defeated some time. They could not go on forever winning and never losing. Their time had to come sooner or later, PAGE ONE HUNDRED TWENTY ONE and when it did come the fans and the Tigers themselves proved that they had not forgotten how to take defeat. For four long periods the Tigers and Eagles fought in the mud, with neither side having the advantage. The Abilene club could not gain to a great advantage through the Tiger line, nor could they gain around the ends. The only place the Eagles had it over the Gold and White was on the re- turning of punts. The Tigers could not stop the fleet-footed Wooten and that lad got away for several gains on bringing back the Tiger punts. When the game was over and the yardage added up, the Eagles had registered five first downs to the Tigers' four. On black and white the Abilene club gained only very little more ground than did the Tigers. However, the Tigers have no alibis. They realize that they lost a game, and they are not ashamed. They all can hold their heads up and say that they lost to a wonderful team. It was in the last period that the Eagles scored. The sickening count came after Abilene had recovered a fumble on the Tiger I5 yard line, and after making three unsuccessful stabs at the Tiger line, the Eagles dropped back and Captain Hanna booted a perfect field goal through the cross bars which spelled the first defeat of the Tigers in many moons. Never was there a better football game played, and the whole town and the whole school is proud of Coach Paul Tyson's championship 1923 foot- ball team. They are looking forward now to clipping the feathers from the Eagle's tail in '24.

Gt Q-tic:-nfzmwwef--i12J -4lrwfaa+59iifeiffiisifygm-llv'1aff1?,431vH3wi1ffmHD' l PAGE ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE strongest team that ever represented a Texas high school out- side of Waco, when the Canton girls were defeated 20 to l9. This was one of the fastest, cleanest, and best played girls' games ever witnessed in the Southwest. Success came to the team because the girls were willing to pay the price for victory. They have trained faithfully and worked untiringly that the team might win. For six months they worked and gave up many pleasures that honor might come to Waco High. Special mention must be given to: MILDRED THOMAS: ln Captain Thomas the girls had a splendid leader. She was shifted from guard, where she has played a star game for two seasons, to jumping center, be- cause it was believed that she was worth more to the team in the new position and she has lived up to expectations. As a matter of fact Mildred can play any position on the court. She is among the most valuable players the high school ever had. Mildred graduates this year and it will be difficult in- deed to fill her place. ANNIE. D. KENDRICK: Captain Thomas was ably as- sisted by Annie D. Kendrick at side center. Annie D. is a splendid example of what determination and perseverance will do. Being seriously handicapped by her diminutive size, by hard work she continued to improve until she was ranked by some this season as the best side center Waco has had at any time, and that is going some. It is unfortunate for the team that she graduates. EVA YOUNGBLOOD: Eva, who is next to the young- est member of the team, has been a power at forward all season. The officials ranked her the best forward in the South- ern A. A. U. tournament at Dallas. This was her second year on the team and no other player has accomplished more in the same length of time. Eva has another year in high school and we shall expect her to surpass even her past wonderful record. , ,H MONA JOHNSON: Although she did not always re- ceive all the credit due her, Mona was equally as valuable at forward as Eva. Most people who saw them in action con- sidered them the best pair of high school forwards in the State. Mona has no superior for her position. She plays a sacrifice game, never failing to pass the ball to another whom she be- lieves to have a better chance to score than she, and never plays for personal glory but always for the success of the team. Mona has another year to play and Waco is assured the best pair of forwards in the State for next season. MYRTLE MANER: Myrtle's regular position has been PAGE ONE HUNDRED TW!-ZNTY-SIX at forward, where she always played a splendid game, but about the middle of the season she was shifted to guard and has played a wonderful game there. With only two weeks practice at this new position she was ranked the best guard in the Dallas tournament. Myrtle is one of the hardest workers that ever went on a basket ball court. She has all the char- acteristics of a successful basket ball player' and nof girl has been of more value to the team. We are sorry that we lose her also by graduation. KATHERINE OSWALD: The team had a most valu- able asset in Katherine at guard. She is an ideal basket ball player. Her agreeable disposition and willingness to forego any personal honor that the team may succeed, has endeared her to all who know her. Katherine's influence with the girls, togther with her willingness always to give her best to the game, has made her a most valuable member of the team. It is with regret that we see her graduate. ORA MAE ECHOL5: Ora Mae grew better with each game in which she played as guard. She is a hard worker and ever ready to heed any suggestion that might make her a more efficient player. This was Ora Mae's second year with the squad and we are sorry that she waited until her Junior year to come out for basket ball. SARAH RIDDLE.: Sarah is the youngest member of the team but is fast developing into a powerful guard. She has played a splendid game this season and promises to be one of the best guards in the State next year. Her speed, together with her ability and fighting spirit, make her a valuable player. Quit is not in her vocabulary. Too much praise cannot be given to the other members of the squad, for it has been their ability to play the game and willingness to train and work that has made the team possible. They have paid just as much for the success of the team as the girls who have played the games. Other members of the First Squad are as follows: Anna Lee Bush, forward, Hennie Merle Holloway, for- ward: Lucile Trimmier, forwardg Evelyn Gay, center: Dixie Lynn Wood, centerg Almarie Bulloch, guard. Members of the Second Squad are as follows: Mollie Ruth Bailey, Helen Ruth Coston, Mildred Counts, Geraldine Dunn, Henry Etta Edwards, Gladys Ernest, Eliza- beth Holloway, Mabel Grey Howell, lnez Ingram, Lillian Mc- Kethan, Marjorie Reisner, Christine Olson.

P- l 'Q it 7 if A A 'I15? 1,. ltffizsgh' PAGE ONE HUNDRED Tnumr games during the season, and he was sorely missed in the few games in which he was not able to participate. Pottie was a guard on the Tiger squad and while his playing did not border on the sensational, he was consistent, and well deserved the place that he earned. At times he showed that he was a comer and will no doubt make a valuable man on the basket ball team for the college of his choice. Weir Washam, probably one of the lightest forwards in high school circles, was one of the best. Washam was a demon on the court, being capable of taking the ball down the court in something less than nothing flat. Weir improved in his basket ball with the coming of each year, reaching his height in the Waco-Gatesville gate at the Baylor gym. This lad will be missed on the Tiger squad next year. Clyde Abe Kelley, for the past three years recognized as one of the best forwards in interscholastic circles, has spent his last year at the local institution. Coach Smith will have a hard task in replacing this splendid athlete. Kelley was the captain of the squad of '23, and probably had his best year in basket ball throughout that season. Kelley, like Washam, was fast on the court, and the sort of team work displayed, at times, by this pair is seldom seen in high school circles. Charles Taylor played his first year as a regular with the Tigers during the past season. Taylor was not a brilliant, shin- ing star on the team, but he demonstrated that he was a comer. He was consistent in his playing, and has all the ear marks of a real basket ball man. Taylor will make a sterling guard on the Tiger quint next year. Robert Hanna was a substitute guard, but was given sev- eral chances throughout the season to prove his mettle. Hanna came through in the finest style, when the Tigers played the fast Austin quint at Austin. He also showed well in the Texas Freshman game. Hanna will finish his high school work this year, and he will go to the college of his choice with the de- termination to shine in an athletic way. Marcus Howell was the Tigers' dependable substitute for- ward. While he did not have a chance to play in a great num- ber of games, he displayed speed and accuracy during the time that he did have to do his stuff. He was always ready to play when the time came, and proved a very valuable man on the squad.

M5 6 The veterans reporting at the beginning of the season were: Naylor, Captain, Kelley, Slade, Hunt, will M. Ewing, McCullough, Hannah, and Rickett brothers. Those receiving uniforms in addition to the above A were: johnson, Mitchell, Greene, Knipple, and Weathers. dm Mai ii Due to the limited baseball parks of the city, the high' school usually confines the schedule to 'lf5 !l out of town games, but this season arrangements have been made for use of Katy Park and to date three games have been played in Waco. Hillsboro, Temple, and Austin have in turn been defeated. The Hillsboro game was featured by , excellent pitching of Wm. Ricketts, and heavy hitting of his team mates. This game was won by 7 to 0. mt 'G T' fi i c .,, ,sr in 'ii K'EtntQ,t,:fQlflll2Vlllw:lfr1M wusl,Qlk :vw!lu11IW,Q1l ulAl'llVfllllgIl'aa 'llff,, L li' ' Paffa ONE UNDRiD THIRTY-THREE The second contest was with Temple. This game was an important one because Bartlett, a very strong team of Central Texas, had been defeated by Temple and naturally the outcome involved con- siderable territory. This game was won by the score of I0 to 2. Milton Ricketts was on the mound for the locals and pitched a most excellent game. Again the heavy hitting of the Waco club was the feature. The Austin game was the greatest high school game ever played by the Tigers. Teeming with feats of individual brilliance, climaxed by a succession of thrills, Waco High School not only won the greatest interscholastic baseball battle ever waged in this city, but in defeating the Austin High team by a score of 2 to I after I2 innings of nerve-tingling play, achieved the victory over Spot Falk, the greatest interscholastic twirler to ever set foot upon a mound in this city. Each team scored a run in the second inning, but from that moment until the winning run came with two out in the twelfth it was as beautiful a pitchers' battle as one would care to see. RICKETTS AND FALK Milton Ricketts was on the mound for the Tigers, and he pitched sensational baseball all the way, while his support was just as sensational. The visitors had more opportunities to score than the locals. The game seemed to be within their grasp on several occasions, but they were outsmarted by the very clever Waco team which was led to victory by Abe Kelley, a high school catcher with the head of a seasoned collegian. It was largely due to the work of Kelley, as well as Ricketts, that the visitors were turned back inning after inning without a score. The locals could not hit the offerings of Falk when hits meant runs. The Austin southpaw whitfed I5 of the Tigers, but was working under a handicap, for the Austin catcher was very weak in handling Falk's delivery. M'CULLOUGH SCORES WINNING RUN Waco took advantage of the weakness of the visitors behind the bat to score the winning run in the twelfth. Pottie McCullough, who played a sensational game in the field, his throw to the plate cutting off a run in the third. hammered a single through Falk with one out. Milton Ricketts went out and then McCullough not only proceeded to steal second standing up, but pilfered third as well. Now came johnny Naylor, another outstanding star of the contest which produced a galaxy of stars. He hit a slow bounder to second, and by his sheer speed beat the throw to first as McCullough crossed the plate with the winning run. It was the second time during the game that Naylor used his speed to such advantage, and in centerlield, he ranged far and wide, turning apparent doubles and triples into outs. It was certainly a big day for this lad. KEYS HITS HOMER Austin scored its hrst and only run of the game in the second when Keys sent a line drive sailing over the left field wall for a homer with only one out. Bowles trippled in the fourth with none out, but Falk lined out to McCullough, and Bowles was caught at the plate on a pretty peg by McCullough. The Tigers scored their hrst run in the second. Ewing hit a single between short and third. Slade fanned, but Ewing went to second on a passed ball, and to third in the same manner, scoring on Mitchell's pretty hit down the first-base line. The locals threatened in the tenth and the eleventh, but Falk was there in the pinch, retiring Tiger batters by the strike-out route when any sort of hit would have brought in the winning score. The game was witnessed by a splendid crowd that grew in numbers as the contest progressed, and they were certainly well repaid for their efforts, for there have been few better ball games in any class played at the historical ball orchard than was that contest. , ,WA KL- -J . .Y.

TYsoN Waco Highis Coaching Staff !IIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIUIIIL Coach Paul Tyson, who has coached the Waco teams in football and baseball for years, is acknowledged the best high school coach in the State. He has an enviable record, having produced in football the wonder team of '2I, the championship team of '22, and the runners-up in '23. Mr. Tyson is one of the best known coaches in football circles. This year he not only fashioned a wonderful foot- ball team, but he has given us a baseball nine of unusual strength. He has the knack of developing boys into polished athletes in all branches of athletics, and he undoubtedly has the best coaching experience of any high school man in Texas or the South, and he has the brain to back this experience up. we are proud to have this great man in our faculty. Coach William Sturgeon, girls' basket ball mentor, has given us another championship team this year. He has produced teams of championship calibre for the last five years. Mr. Sturgeon is a rec- ognized authority among sporting circles on girls' basket ball. He handles and trains his team with an almost uncanny skill. He has a power in the girls that keep training hard and working friendly all the time. He is one of the very few men who can actually handle girls and make them into strong, well trained athletes. Coach Smith had a very successful season this year. His basket ball team was unusually good considering the disadvantages under which he worked. He has coached the Tiger basket ball team for years, and knows every phase of the game. He has developed some real stars on the basket ball court. With a large number trying out, and practicing under many handicaps, he proved himself to be a real coach by producing a team that went to the district finals. Coach E.. A. fDutchJ Bernhauser managed the Cannon Fodder for lVlr. Tyson. It was his boys who fought the varsity and made them the great team they are. lr was Dutch who discovered a number of stars and gave them up to Mr. Tyson. Handling the Cannon Fodder gang was no cinch. and he is to be congratulated on his success. He also gave Waco an unusally good track team. Dutch it was who developed such men as Wood, Baker and Crow. With only new material, as a rule, to start out with, he quickly put in shape a first class track team. PAQ.

PAGE ONE HUNDRED Fonrr The Girls, Glee Club C 5 Conair DE STIVERS, Director n The annual concert in May marlcs the close of the most successful year of the club under its present direction. Study of the various principles of vocalization, per- C sonal supervision of the application of these principles, and in musical appreciation, ly have served to put Waco High one step nearer the attainment of that which it needs sorely, a regular music period for every student. Opportunity for individual develop- ment and appearance has been given in the work of the soloists, and the members of the tiio. the mixed quartette and the chorus. The club has assisted in school activities, and has appeared before various organizations of the city, but by no means has the scope of its activity been confined to mere meanderings in musical realms. There have been pre-dawn hikes, lonely camps in unfrequented and watery places, assemblings and operatic appearances in theatres and haunts of similar nature, merciless and unrelenting sale of tickets- and the end is not yet. One item which has played no mean part in the maintenance of interest and an outward appearance of amity and unity has been the humble Bulletin Board, suspended at a ralcish and altogether unsubstantial angle from the office door, whereon various pictorial and barometric indi- cations concerning the ability, morale and general affairs of the club have been displayd. The officers for the terms have been as follows: FALL-President, Anita Hall, Bessie Ruth Biclcfordg Vice-President, Dorothy Connallyg Secretary, Pearl Bailey.

PAGE ONE HUNDRED FORTY-TWO XVACO HI-Y CLUB ff HE Waco Hi-Y Club has experienced a very successful season, and has come to the jf close of the school term with many interesting events recorded for the year's work. The club meetings have been held each Thursday evening with a supper at the Young lVlen's , is Christian Association. Many prominent speakers have appeared on the different pro- Qjwgg grams, and have brought to the members some very fine talks of educational and inspira- tional value. In january, the high school students were fortunate in having an address Fi-Y by Harry Rimmer, well known boy specialist, who spoke in the school auditorium under the auspices of the Hi-Y Club. The annual Father and Son Banquet was held during Father and Son week, and the majority of the Hi-Y members, accompanied by their fathers, enjoyed this great occasion at the Y. lVl. C. A. building. One of the outstanding events of the year was the State Older Boys Conference held at A. 8: lVl. College the hrst of February, which was attended by I6 members of the Hi-Y Club. A distinct honor was given the Waco Hi-Y Club in the selection of Joe Stanton as Vice-President of the Conference representing the central district of Texas. The Texas Honor Banner, presented to the club last year, is another mark of credit to the club. The club has not overlooked the social events for the year, as two 'possum hunts, several Booster Banquets, and the performance of the Spaghetti Grand Opera Company have enlivened the enter- tainment of the members. One of the pleasing social events was the observance of 'Ladies' Night during the month of April. As a fitting close of the work of the club for the year, a social, honoring all Seniors who were members of the Hi-Y Club, was given just before the school term ended.

PAGE ONE HUNDRED FoR'rY THREE Rostra Literary Society Per Aspera acl Astra llllltlllIIIIDIIIIIIIIIIIIK K NOTHER year has passed and the Rostra has continued its steady advance. The Baine Banquet Debate was won this year by the Rostra team, composed of Harold Stafford and lsaac Teague. The two best speakers of this debate represented the school in the lnter- scholastic District meet at Baylor. Roger Lacy, who won the declamation contest from the lforum last year, won again this year, and was entitled to represent the school in declamation. lfmil Sonneman, a Rostra member also, did well in the contest. The Ed Johnston Oratory lv Prize. offered by Mr. Albert Caldwell Johnston, has heen won by the Rostra every year that it has been oflered. and the club has every reason to hope for success again. If this occurs, the Rostra will have won three public speaking contests from the Forum. thus being the school champions in oratory as well as in debate and in declamation. Even though the oratory contest should be lost, the Rostra will have two of the three Rostra-Forum public speaking contests to its credit- this giving it a clear title to the school championship in public speaking. The Rostra motto: Per Aspera Ad Astra flqhrough difficulties to victoryj, has been steadily held in mind, as its teams over- came obstacles and pressed on to victory. l7ilteen debates were held during the year between W'aco teams and those from other schools. Vflaco won an overwhelming majority of these contests, and the Rostia was well represented in uphold- ing the honor of the school. The Rostra held a victory banquet this year and contributed in many ways to the advancement of the interests of Waco High School and Waco spirit. ,, . so 2 Lo? . . l tr 1 Y' 7 0161 ft ,.ii f- sr- 1-yy PAC!-1 ONE llUNimF.n FORTY-FOUR TOP ROW-WALTER SCI-IAIBLE, j.

Rostra Dehaters and Declaimers llllllllllllllllllllllllllll . T HE Rostra Literary SOClCly during the year l923-24, conclusively proved that not only was it the most superior organization of its kind in Waco Senior High, but on a par with similar 2- rg organizationsihroughout the State. We might say the United States, but the team met only 7 R dehaters of Texas, so it could not be stated with proof to back it up, yet in the minds of the 4 3525. members of the society, they think so! The debating record is especially one worthy of 635 'J notice. The first team composed of Harold Stafford, who made a passionate appeal both I J to the heart and to the mind-gave 'em food for thought, and Ike Teague, the master of oratory, formed one of the best balanced debating teams which Waco High has boasted since its beginning. Their undefeated debate record speaks for itself,-here are a few of the most important: Rostra 3 Oak Cliff 0 Rostra 4 Forum 0 fThe Forum was victorious over Fort Worth, Houston, Calvert and Alice., Rosha 2 Hubbard l fl-lubbard was district champions for three years., PAGE ONE HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE The Forum Literary Society N days to come. when graduates of the W'aco High School turn through the pages of this looolc. memories of their school days will be revived. But they will of necessity linger over the records of their favorite worlc, whether in athletics, music, languages or debating. Many of those interested in the latter field will recall with pleasure thc activities of the Forum in the year l923-24. During the spring of '24, live debates were held by the Forum with other schools. ln only one, that with Hubbard. did the Forum lose the decision. For! Worth, Houston, Calvert. and Alice fell easy prey to the hard-hitting Forum debaters, Weaver Nott and Harold Knapp. 2, ar fy 5. M U .. 'r'- 1, .F Tig st? rg: in Besides these successes, the Forum was more victorious than it at lirst seemed to be. ln the Forum-Rostra debate, the hrst spealcer was chosen from the Forum team. And this all the more im- pressive when one realizes that the l urum's opponents captured hrst prize and second spealaer. ln the declamations the opposing teams made an equal average'--the Forum getting second and third places. while their opponents get Hrst and fourth. The Forum sacrifices the training of one team to give experience to all members, which is the main object of any real debating club. PAGE ONE HUNDRED FORTY-SIX Darden Literary Society Presidenl .

However, the club was reorganized the following Fall with a small, but determined membership. Gradually interest was taken in other fields of Science and at about the beginning of the second term the name of the club was changed to Science Club, and the purpose of the club was changed from the study of Radio Telegraphy to the study of Science in all of its branches. The club is to be commended on its unusual activity. The member- ship has reached 30. Regular meetings are held on Friday afternoons and Monday nights of each week. With the excellent broadcasting receiving set, radio programs have been given from stations all over the States. As the school has many sets of stereoptical views, a number were shown at the club's meetings. Mr. Tyson and Mr. Woods of the faculty have given exceptionally interesting lectures on these views. The following sets have been shown: Zoology, Entomology, Geology, Physical Geography, Physiology, Physics, Astronomy and Meteorology. Experiments showing electrical and chemical phenomena, debates, dis- cussions and reports on scientific topics have been features of the programs. The club had the pleasure of hearing Dr. W. T. Gooch of Baylor University talk at one of its meetings. A number of trips have been made and planned by the club, such as visiting the filtration plant and the power plant. The club is divided into two groups, each of which are given a new name and captain after a certain period, to increase the interest in securing new members. While the club was organized by boys, girls are eligible for membership and a number have been taken into the club, which number it is hoped will be greatly increased next year. The membership including a few honorary members is as follows: Astron- omers, J. T. Hurt, Captain: Botanists, Everett Craig, Captain: Mr. I... A.
