The rooms were decorated with huge, black cats, and li I witches, and yellow pumpkins. Several games were enjoyed during l In the evening, although fortune telling was the chief amusement. fli ,N , Dancing was indulged in by a few and ghost stories thrilled all with I their unreasonable, yet vividly realistic superstitious. x , Among those present were: clowns, witches, ghosts, little and ' .f big Uncle Sams, colonial girls, Wee Po Peep's and Spanish girls. 1 ' l 0 Saturday evening, November 1, 1919, a crowd of Seniors met at the home of Miss Hart and were delightfully entertained until a '9 ' late hour. Various games, puzzles, and other amusements were we participated in by the guests. til On Friday night, November 13, 1919, Miss Cornelia Hood was 'l f l 'A hostess to the Seniors. The amusements were games, candy-making, Nl 6. dancing, and of course eating. A. W. S. presided over the candy- V ' making, thereby getting most of same. After fthej luncheon, the Q f guests gathered around the fire-place and amused themselves by lg ' popping pop-corn and other forms of pleasure. i .wx Friday, January 2, 1920, the Seniors invaded Junior camp. ll f Weenie can't be mentioned to a Junior in W. H. S. and certain- , ly not by a Senior. The reason being that a crowd of Juniors journey- Le l ed forth to a certain place out on the hights, for the purpose of con- I suming a product of Swift 8a Co., the article being f'Weenies . This in 3 -11 f itself was nothing they could be censured for, but some way a crowd fl of Seniors got word of the affair, and, being fond of Weenies , re- U I all solved that they also would partake of the delicious repast. ' 5 , Since the Seniors were not invited, the problem Was, How Shall , :gy W . ,, . . Q5 , e Get the Weenies? This was soon solved by a famous Senior N, , scout, who, with the aid of other Seniors, got on the trail of the 65- enemy and located their camp. ,li ' Unluckily some of the Seniors met with accidents before reaching 1 - I K camp. Some were inflicted by the sharp pointed tormentors of man- ,V I -' . .Q I - ' ' -ia' 4 Y' X ll -'N ' L' il? . is ,THE - - . s MELON VINE ee' E 0-'in the prickly pear.

The whole day was one of good times and fun. The first thing in fl' gy' the morning rumor was abroad that there was going to be some- 'ff thing doing in Mrs. Irby's room the seventh period for the Seniors , N and they certainly were not in the least disappointed. A All the Seniors met Mrs. Irby and to add to the pleasure of the M, iff party and keep up the youthful spirit which goes with St. Valentine's Q Day, she pinned on each one a dainty little heart bearing the usual ax, Fil greetings and good wishes. All the Seniors left school that afternoon 251 with a smile. Mrs. Irby IS always doing something to make each .lj xl! day a pleasant one for us. xl' FEBRUARY 14, 1920 lx I 9. , Saturday night was one of the most enjoyable of the Senior LJ socials. A Valentine party given by Miss Cornelia Hood. Her home was prettily decorated in Valentine colors. Hanging over one ' f' window there were two huge heartsg one containing small hearts c Q for the girls and the other arrows for the boys. After much con- IAQ fusion and fun in finding the corresponding numbers, each heart 177, 'H was pierced, then began the game of hearts , The two couples I, ,A making the highest scores played a try-out game. The winners received graduating books. ' gy 25 I I , Ml.. ' I The next feature of the merry-making was a costume race, which 1' f was exceedingly comical. The winners, the tallest boy and the , . . Q. -l smallest girl in High School, were presented with prizes. After a 357 , xy salad course a number spent the rest of the evening dancing. At a late hour the guests departed, all declaring they had never spent a X 5 more enjoyable evening.

' Upon reaching the aforesaid wilds we sent scouting parties hither and thither to reconnoiter and to discover any wild animals A such as jack rabbits turtles and field mice which may have been laying in wait for mortals that might have courage enough to venture - near their dens. We found after much search a delightful place in -' which to pitch camp, coats, etc., and thither drove our iron monsters. A mighty body of water was also discovered by some of the more 5.

Such courage as this could 3 9 ' fi, have come from no other source than our ancestors who swung from N W limb to limb and from tree to tree and threw coconuts at the largest fl- elephants and giraffes that happened to come into range. lf After a morning fraught with excitement and fun we were served to a delicious dinner consisting of the famous HEINZ'S PORK Q ' I AND BEANS over which the Gallant Spratt returned thanks to lv, ' Him from whom all blessings flow, an dthe best and sweetest chaper- fi .-IW. one and teacher that a class ever had presided. f The afternoon drug on with nothing of very much interest hap- L, Q pening and as the evening drew near we again boarded our fire- A spitting monsters and started for that civilization which we had ', its . f almost forgotten for one glorious day. h 1' , As we reached the school building the last rays of the dying sun '. ll were kissing the tops of the hills which surround our beautiful little ' valley and the evening shadows were beginning to enfold the valley K in the arms of dusk, which, as it drew closer and closer about us, All' in seemed a benediction from Him who creates such days as the one we ill' Q52 had so enjoyed and then put us mortals here to drink the Heavenly i 65 nectar from the cup of nature.

M., May 7, 1920. if? l J We were first entertained by a delightful stroll program about M the beautiful grounds with no one to see but the kindly moon and the 5:1 X if friendly, twinkling stars. And they, like the daisies, Won't tell . ' But perhaps it was better that way, for if some of our dignified fx Professors and Professoresses could have seen into the garage and '4 'rl other cozy nooks and corners with which the grounds abound, they 'bf X would in all probability have started a Sabbath school next day to .X V save our souls from purgatory. But we should worry, we can be 9 kids only once you know. fl I , :F Next we became very much interested in trying to guess a Q' number of riddles which were piled up in the middle of the billiard ' Q table. Mr. Preston Woody captured the prize of this event, which ,Q was a doll. Each couple was then given a piece of string with a 'wk piece of candy tied in the middle Cof the string and the candy tool. i ,l 'j The object of this game was to break in those charming damsels who Q Q were only sweet sixteen and had never been kissed and also to give , jg, the old-timers a CHANCE. H. ill. After this there were a good many private stroll programs in- , augurated and a few DARK tete-a-tete. Refreshments were then served by a charming hostess to two of the most charming classes f' that were ever under the jurisdiction of that aged and gray jail , 1 called the W. H. S. Both classes wish to express their gratitude to Miss Olga , Sammons for the beautiful music which she furnished throughout the X entertainment. it I, IZ3 Qi S? y li C 1 gg, , - g U ,HA A X, A Q 'PHE' ,q MEIJON VINE Eb: 2 Sk lu v , X 2124 Yi' ww 'el A .

Once before they had a Congress, but as a rule, the boys have a regular literary society. Last year the boys seemed ' li' to loose interest in the ordinary literary society and this year they Q showed less interest than ever toward the old form. Some of the Vx boys thought that our fellows would be more interested if a Congress ' ff was organized. This was done and good results followed. This Congress was run as near as possible like the Congress of 'M the United States, its officials consisting of a speaker, a clerk, a X' sergeant-at-arms, and a door keeper. In the debates which took place, instead of a limited number V3 participating, the debate was open to every member with the under- ,xi standing that no member should speak more than once. A few items not permitted in regular congress were added to the program, ' but this was done in order to keep the interest of the boys aroused. . The general purpose of this organization was to aid our boys N in securing self-confidence, give them an opportunity to think on their 4 feet, encourage them to hold their own in a debate, or an argument N 'I of any kind, so that when they step forward into the battle and P51 struggles of life they will step forward like men determined to win jg, and not like men who are undecided as to what they should do or f. what they should not do. We are not going to give the names of the officers of this 4. organization because three different groups of officers were elected wig during the past year. .WAN X lp JCM PM sig fx 4 . . QQ' Q. Q .

In many high schools and in most every , college, the students' association has been tried and proved of great aid 'X to the schools. The associations are not formed for the purpose of li ' P running or regulating the school, but as an aid to the teachers to l? XX encourage better conduct among the students, to place them in a 1 'M position to fill the responsibility to themselves and their fellow 'L il students, to draw the student and the teacher into closer contact. A This association also makes an effort, or we should say, provides I 1 that when a movement of any sort is started for the good or for the ill, lg: betterment of the school, no matter whether it be a ball game, no matter if a paper is started, no matter if a movement is started for a new high school buildingg no matter which of the above, or other . things, are started, either in or for the school, the members of this association shall boost it to the utmost of their ability and let the X l Q j wg .l X ' l l I? school spirit prevail when they are going to school. i ll 'll' f , ll iexsy ' ,, I I . .lla i , M 3 .w 6 c I A V MEUESEVINE 1 K' In Q,- B. 3 f fl tw, 5 x FU 'P --4 2 w V N2 3 MEUgIIgEVINE in W ' 056 f , E .1 . , p Q IB? 1 S, X U 1 x lg! , E, pf . , xy W 5 5 wi EE '1 N.

More interest was manifested, more loyal ty fill? support given, and more games won than has ever before been the ' an case in the history of Weatherford High School. I While a large majority of the games were won, let it be under- 'AN stood that all of the games played were played primarily for the sake -if l ff of sportsmanship, and not merely as a means of bolstering up the Y X , record of the teams. If fy ' Since we feel that the satisfactory results accomplished all during N li' the season were due, in a large measure, to the zealous and unselfish X X efforts of our coach, we do hereby dedicate this portion of the Annual to our esteemed leader, Mr. A.

R ' GRINDING NUMBER ONE il K, OW the history of the Class of 1920. of the High School of the ik City of Weatherford, County of Parker, State of Texas, is this: In the beginning, in the sixteenth and ninetieth year of our Lord, ' in the ninth month, and on the tenth day of the month, there i K f' entered into the great Land of Learning, eighty of us freckle faced, A pug-nosed, cat-eyed seekers of knowledge. We were ordinary Fresh- I ft In men, quivering at the sight of a teacher, biting our tongues when called at If upon and crossing our eyes to keep from looking any one in the face. We spent the nine long months of that age in distress, trying to Va? overcome an abasing fear of every one, especially those superhuman ,N beings, the teachers. We never entered the class room without fear l t I of being beheaded, or worse, the fear of having to discuss matters X X with Mr. De Wees. We would never stay at home even when we A werevsick because we thought it would not please the teachers. N The bone-heads we would pull! We would go to English, and l Q ' only find ourselves in Mr. Stanley's office with that hurlothrumbo lr i creature looking upon us. We would find ourselves on the road going ex? r-7' home, when it was only recess. We would get our subjects mixed up Qi A, and tell the history lesson in the Math class. But oh! how We would fill, Q bite our tongues and swear never to pull that again-and we would X K not, not until the next day. Hut happily we filled our heads full 4 of mistakes until we rfere forced to do right, and by the end of it fi the year we had sufficiently overcome our awkwardness. We or- y. I ganized our class and got right into the game. Ki' l GRINDING NUMBER TWO ' Scire fell by the rfayside, lgut most of us survived the May examill- E Q ations and became members of the Soph class. We plunged into Nl the worl: v, ith the determination to succeed. Some of the fear of .QI lx the teachers it ore off. and we began to consider them as human ll beings. But vie still looked upon them as superior to anyone in the , I IW, World. To us they were mighty beings, with their heads jammed ,QV - , full of knowledge. Some of the fear of recitation had worn off, , and we looked upon our subjects as a play, and not work. Our 'J i teeth ceased to shake, and our hair would lay down. M l- During this stage of development, we never failed to carry our alll books, penclis and other utensils home. We burnt the mid-night oil i F seeking for the knowledge that We might procure out of our books. I i. i 4 I A gaf-G wmaeesefe' MEIZON VINE saswsvs a We tempered this great age of knowledge with a few picnics and parties and tried to make it look like school time GRINDING NUMBER THREE - As we journeyed on to the third great stage of our High School We were dignified, we knew everything. and, if there was any information to be given out, we had to give it away, as we were full of it. We feared no teacher, and thought we knew as much as they knew or ever would know. Every one would step to our tunes ' especially the Freshmen. We owned the laboratory department and were very familiar with it. We boys were now gentlemen, and the girls were ladies. We would go with the girls and no one could beat us flirting. We were cigarette fiends, adding all the fancy touches to smoking. GRINDING NUMBER FOUR i And now we were through the old rough stages and into the beautiful Senior year. We were happy creatures! It seemed im- , possible, too good to be trueg but we were Seniors. You get that, '- A don't you? S-E-N-I-O-R-S. Our play days had passed, the responsi- Q. bilities of the world were upon our shouldersg and especially did they 'N J lay heavily upon a few of our members. Now that we were Seniors, hx lil X 'PHE ll f rl lx A . m u K gl, f df V , . ul ggi days, we became those beautiful Juniors-but all did not journey thus , lb, far. W lf ' 7 ti :N ' 5 . Q ' N I ' fl if I ' ., li N yi the school depended upon us. the honor hall could not exist without us. In fact, we had control of the honor hall and would not talk, iw ,QF , but would conscientiously report these half-witted, hairbrained gh Juniors. We would help Mr. De Wees run all affairs in the aforesaid X K hall. As our pride grew to a great bigness, we began to wish for I badges, which would show our degree of honor. Many messages were ' sent to the big cities and all town roundabout for samples of their IW, fine jewelry, and at last after much consideration and reconsidering, l f we professed ourselves to be satisfied with our choices, and rings were purchased. 9 Q Now we really did accomplish something in our Senior stage. my We put out the first Grass Burr in the W. H. S.. That alone L'1v YI is worth the whole four years' work. With this Grass Burr we Il I boosted our school fit came near boosting usb and helped those little ,' Freshmen. We published this issue of the Melon Vine-a book that f will settle the long remembrance of the mind. Then at the close of the school, the world held out its arms to lv N receive such a noble bunch. In our group we have a lawyer, two A school teachers, one male and one female, a photographer and two X62 printers. I5 --C. L. O. A Semor Class W111 THE STATE OF TEXAS County of Palkel l lvnou All Men By These Presents That we, the Senior Class of the Weatherford High School, being of lawful age, of sound and disposing mind and memory, aware of the shortness of school life and the certainty of graduation, do desire to settle our worldly affairs while we have the strength to do so and do make this our last will and testament. First, we desire that our funeral services be conducted by our friends and well-wishers, our superintendent and his all-wise and ever- competent faculty, who have been our guardians for so long, only asking as the last injunction of the dying, that the funeral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp that our worth, our merit, our at- tainments and our position as Seniors of grave and reverend mien must certainly have deserved.

Third, we give and bequeath to our beloved faculty all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our various examination papers. We trust that they will feel at liberty to use such bits of enlightenment Cat their personal discretionl for the education of the classes to follow us. Fourth, we do hereby devise to our successors, the Junior class, all of the stupidities, inattention, indolence, and other follies of 1919- 192O. To them we devise, also, our trials and troubles, and our covet- ed seats in the Honor Hall, together with all of the Senior privileges. We also bequeath-- John Sprattls six feet, four, to John Mitchell. Ruby Daughertgfs studiousness to Clarine Power. Alice Yowell's affection to James Ashcroft. Mack Rust's solemnity to George Putman.

They spent a whole week planning the k INF good times, amusements and Heats . A committee found one of the ty, EMU coolest, most attractive places in all the country 'round for the picnic ll ground. SR lj A The afternoon before the eventful day, the boys made a trip to BF: the ground to put up swings and arrange things just so. Everything if 91' was put in readiness-the time, the place and the girl. f ' I 'tl Next morning dawned clear and just warm enough to make a , picnic in the woods enjoyable. At the appointed hour-seven o'clock li -Seniors of every description were on the steps, waiting and ready and for the first time during the year every Senior appeared 1, ' Cof course,--they all appeared at classes, but this was what we call 1 i a social functionj, arrayed in picnic apparel. Two big trucks stood X in front of the building, as well as a separate car to carry the lunch. l Mr. and Mrs. Berry, the Hi's standbys, were there, too. lk Y- Many a morning's nap was disturbed as the jolly crowd rode T an through the quiet streets. Never had the Seniors been in such good N mga' spirits. They shouted, they sang, and shouted again. They were 'R lb merry, ever to the point of being hilarious. Of course, no one knew .lil what any one else was saying-but let me get on with my story. ' X s Lg As the trucks neared the grounds, smoke was seen coming over the little hills and a surprisingly strong odor of an early breakfast Q' I was in the air. The Seniors looked at each other in wonder. From .Q the top of the hill they looked down and, to their astonishment, saw four gypsy vans. Oh, a 'real honest-to-goodness' gypsy camp! cried I Y one girl enthusiastically. ' Q You can guess what hapened next. The old Gypsy fortune-teller 1' lm promised to tell every one's fortune. Wayne and Elizabeth held first 'lv' f place. They declared they were just too excited to wait . The old I' woman took W'ayne's hand and began solemnly: Great happiness I I you will find for a time, but you will know much sorrow, too. You '- ll' will, while very young, marry a pekid-looking young man with a black 'QQ mustache, and he is not true to you. It took four cream cones, a box of chocolates and all of Allen's attention for the next hour to comfort Wayne and then there was a worried look in her eyes. 51? .

None of the F. O. P.'s!J Ruth Maisel was next to appear at the tent. You, too, will go on the stage, a dramatic genius-I see you starring with ze big man-Chaplin , the old lady smiled and patted Ruth's hand. Go on in, John, don't be scared! cried several voices as John Spratt sauntered around the tent. Finally, after much persuasion, they got him to enter. Oh! ze big man, he comes! the Gypsy called out, as he stepped in front of the tent, I see ze beautiful blue eyes and fair hair like an angel-she is the one for you-oh, but beware of brown eyes. She is not true to you. You be great man some day if you leave her alone! Frances and Johnnie simply fell over each other getting in- side the tent. The Gypsy shook her head as she took Johnnie's hand and told her of a disappointed love affair resulting in a loveless, lonely life of a school teacher, taking Miss Jordan's place Hi. CCould you imagine Johnnie being disappointed in love?J She told Frances of wide travels in store for her, and finally, of her return to take charge of the Domestic Economy Department at Fox Hi. Blair approached the tent to be greeted with a shrill voice, Ze ladies' man comes. Many time you will fall in that way which they call 'love', but beware of ze brown eyes and ze fair wig. She drain your pocketbook. Some day you'll be a great football man. tIsn't it strange she always says beware of brown eyes'?J Ward was induced to seek his fate within the magic tent. You ees ze great man who writes history. Some day you will be noted for your work, and you ees a bachelor-no swish of skirts for you! Ah, ze wee little girl wis ze blue eyes, exclaimed the Gypsy as Alice entered, You will be de matron of a great house some day- and that house it will be your own. Allen, who couldn't be quiet any longer, rushed in to hear his future. For you, there ees many things. You will be ze great speaker-perhaps, maybe, a preach-I canno tell- Verda and Mary made their way in next, where, being told almost the first thing, that they would be prime old maids, fled and refused to hear another word. Some day you will be ze great automobile man, make lots money-but, she shook her head sadly, you will meet your fate 'T'I-IE when one outomobile strikes you This to Therylle who drove home very cautiously Pauline next appioached on the scene and was greeted with the unpleasant assurance that she would be head milliner in a small west ern establishment but left contented when told she would wed a vsealthy ranchman Ah! ze wicked dice and ze blond woman with the crooked nose will be your ruin, cried the wrinkled-faced old Gypsy, as she sur- veyed Joe Chandler's face, you must beware! Lula and Marguerite, the twins, were equally curious concerning their future: To Lula- Ze wedding bells! Do you hear zem? Ah, and ze little cottage, and she shook her head smiling. To Mar- guerite- And you, little Miss, you will be a nurse for ze soldiers in ze next war. MEIJON 'VINE sv-asq iaas Q Van Boyd was afraid, I think, that some one would see him go in, but he went, just the same, and put out his hand to hear his fate. Yes, she'll get you next leap year. She ees beautivul and she loves the way you dance. She will ask you to dance through life with her and you, poor nut, you say 'yes'. Ah, such ees de life. Clayton scrambled in ahead of Bertha-not at all gentleman like. The very good newspaper man. Some day you will work on the New York Herald. You ees not de good man for matrimony. Remeber, de pockets do jingle. Bertha really did crowd in this time, and ask to be told her ill fortune as well as her good. You will try to sing-do de opera stunt-but no good. You come home, invent a new kind of furniture polish and marry a dude of a society man. One of the mustache sort that wears ze white spatsf' Morris Booles came in at this point. The fortune teller, looking over him, exclaimed, You would make ze grand floor walker, but let us see. Ah, one of the ones of 'wine, women and song', and she shook her head, you will marry the pretty lettle dancer who will bankrupt you. Morris started to protest, but she laughed hideously and cried, Et ees your fate. , Fern walked in to be greeted enthusiastically by the old woman. You are ze tall, stately lady who will charm ze soldiers with ze fiddle-you-ze great artist with ze great heart-and love, he play ze great important part.

Y I have achieved during the last three and one-half years! Our goal ' n 1 gli is the accomplishment of that work which is awaiting us in this great s world. We are pushing steadily and, as we go along, are achieving N those things which tend toward the making of great manhood and l womanhood It seems like a hard task, but if it can be seen that we are pushing earnestly and steadfastly, no rock that can possibly con- front us will be too ruggedg no obstacle too great. Our pushing and climbing so far has been easy, and the few rocks we have encounter- ed in the ascent have not been difficult to surmount. But the time lb? lf: I - I . ,X . . 'fi -, ' . ff? ' i I 9 l J greatest thingiin the world. is fast approaching when each one of us must press forward alone. 1 Oh' let us climb ever upward and onward, thinking of ourselves as li nearing the mountain top of success. Our clear, glorious day of life X lies before us but to pursue hopefully is perhaps as great a thing as to achieve for after all the true success is to labor-not from fear, 'M slothing or from shelter these are the mere incidents: real labor l means service and service means love, and love is the highest and x - There are many reasons why we, the class of '21, chose the rose . A as our class flower. Its beauty, its richness and most of all, its uni- X Q- versal symbol of love, appealed to us. We are in love with the past Q l ' three and one-half years and all that it has meant to usp we are in Ml? 3' love with the present and the honors it is holding out to usg and, more S than all, we are in love with the future, because of its promises and Q wonderful mysteries. i lc In selecting the blend of red and white as our class colors, we had a two-fold purposeg First: to take as our life's emblem the 1 if colors sacred to us, because they are the representation of our inborn I patriotism and loyaltyg and second, to embody into the principles of ' our lives the virtues symbolized by these colors-the red, typifying ' Wt blood, which signifies bravery and courage-both physical and mental, the white, symbolizing purity-cleanliness of action, word and thought. N We, the class of '21, in our further pursuit after those things In that make life worth while, are determined to stand by our colors, - 7 I thereby achieving for ourselves and for the World, lives of braver, ly purer and richer value through the blending of the red and the white. - 1- ,ag pl Qi ! xl 1 xv 1 i H 5 G M I l' 1 W 4 1 i I l I 1u 1umm11 munuawwul mm - vu :mm-V: n-n1 w I ,.

We are not far from the goal! Many long hours we have toiled and crammed for our testsg M many a time we have got on the nerves of our folks by trying to make our memories work on our memory work . At last success l is in sightg at last we are to be the somebodies! After another year of toil,-Oh! Detectable delight! Another year of misery and we I will get our diplomas-if we don't flunk-and we are determined not to do that. if We notice silver threads among the gold are appearing on account of the great burden we have been to our teachers, but we are going , to make a recompense by making them proud of us in the year fl of 1921. N Some of our rivals criticized us for choosing green as our class X color because it is too often associated with ignorance, but we feel 'M that it needs no apology. The green has, from the very beginning of color analysis, stood as the symbol of freshness and youth. How welcome is the green in the spring, after the weary passing of the winter. We are just peeping our heads out into the world and we I feel the approach of life's springtimeg we heard the call of awakening Q life, and we, fresh from our shelters, go out into the world, carrying l, within ourselves the message of fresh faces, fresh hearts and fresh Q Q ideas into the old affairs of active life, that must often feel the need of the rejuvination of young blood, and the inspiration of fresh, eager Q, talents. 1 Since it is the nature of our class to conceal ourselves, our knowl- edge and our attainment, we chose as our flower, the violet, symboli- , cal of timidity and modesty. We have many virtues of which we l might speak, but we do not boast. You will remember how it is early in the spring, before many other flowers are brave enough to W venture forth, that the little violet pushes forth into the atmosphere , of a new year. This is the spirit of our classy brave, but modest. We are determined to carry out our motto, Adelante Siempre I? Adleante , never to give up, never to turn backward, but to press forward and at last accomplish the goal of success. We intend to ' '7' make the year of 1921 so remarkable that people will forever remem- I ber The Class of '21 . L H, Z P '.

A long waited for such an event ffor it was considered an event , Q in one's life to enter W. H. SJ, but as the time grew near we dreaded N the day we were to start. In spite of this dread and fear, however, how very important we felt! But dear, reader, if you have ever been a Freshman, you realize how soon that air of importance and - dignity fell after several months of abode in the renowned assembly hall. In due time we became Sophomores. Our fears vanishedg we V found favor in every one's eyes lso we thoughtg you see, that old air 4 of importance was again assumedj. In fact, we were Sophomores in li ' every sense of the word. x Then we became Juniors! Life at times had a very bright hue, especially when we were out of school and attending parties, which 'M were now no uncommon occurrences in our class. At other times, X examinations being no exception to the rule, this bright hue was changed into a very grey one and we hardly verified the statement x that, Every cloud has a silver lining. The time shall soon come when we shall be Seniors. Let it K come! We are not afraid! We are striving, as Juniors, to prepare Q l ourselves for the work which is to come in our senior year.

We were extremely frightened at first but later on it ' seemed that the teacher's deep voice welcomed us into her fold. lx I' Just as our parents one after another were given a list of books ,A and other necessaries to carry them throughfthe coming year, so we Pl I ei were given ours. Each new year these lists ever changed and we XXI' took up new work for the coming days. Day after day, week after ' I week, month after month, until seven rounds of the ladder of learning N 2 had been climbed. Now we were on the first plane of the ladder of N' i Q learning. We pausedg hating to leave the old familiar rooms behind. But as we gazed into the distance we saw a new field of learning. fll 'K We felt glad to go, for our whole class was going to W. H. S. 15' Q We were at W. H. S. only a short time before we realized that 1,5 we were fresh indeed. We found what Algebra, History, English, x l Science and other optional studies were. i We also learned that school meant war, and war meant -la Cui We learned not to laugh or talk, by that reprimand, Boys, Don't X, 5? Talk . We were frightened by this at first, but we, as all others 2 7 i that preceded us, outgrew it. A vfgj' This year we are Sophomores . We have big ideas as to what All we will do when we are Seniors, but we have learned that we will ' Y ' have to work, and that experience is the best teacher of knowledge. N L' Now we are on the ninth round of the ladder of learning. What M, , are we to do? Benjamin Franklin says, Those who live on hopes, lx f' will die fasting . The way in which we fulfill the common daily '. , tasks builds the character, which we will carry down with us for- fi ever. W We will find, if we have not already done so, that eternal ' I lianinicring is the price of success. 9 . ,M Q ,,, M t? 5 . sie ,llf gg it ,X . ll . Z If if in K.

When the school li g runs up against some problem, the Freshmen do not sit down in their 1 seats and say, Let somebody else larger than us do that, but they A, In get right in the fight and help old Weatherford High scale the top. 'll it ' Sometimes a Senior or a Junior will look down upon a Freshman, 1 I but there is no reason whatever for that, because they were Freshmen x X once, and it sure will not hurt anyone to be a Freshman, in fact, you can't get through school witout being one.

When we ' attempted the publication of this book We saw that we had under- tl lg' taken a work of magnitude, an undertaking which would take hours 'f and days, even weeks of work, planning each deparment, working J V out each detail, and many other things. Then last, and most impor- vx tant of all, after the details had been planned and arranged, the bg' i fl material and pictures had to be carefully prepared. This is a Work Y .X which has been made possible by the aid of the students and teachers. f 5 We have tried in every way possible to publish a book of Which, not 4 only the school, but the patrons and business men, would be proud. Q We do not mean to boast. indeed, We don't say it in that sense . l, at all, nor try to belittle the work of former students, but this year f fm we have tried to put before the people a larger and more complete book than any class bfore us has published. For should we not 'V progress each year? 5 In conclusion we Wish to thank the students, the business men, lj, X and all others who have helped us in the work. We sincerely hope lla ei that the future classes of W. H. S. will put out annuals which are gil? Y far superior in both size and quality to this, as a proof that our dear Q ly old school is moving forward with the rapid strides of America's Eg , progress. Sincerely, xl h : THE STAFF. - .

The paper has been successful, due to the earnest efforts of the Staff supported by the faculty and the student body. Many prophesied that the Grass Burr would fail financially, if not other- wise, but we wish to inform those prophets that it has made its way quite well. We believe it has paid fairly well. It has been worth every effort put into it. In the publishing of the paper we have tried to give an impartial view of our games, etc. We may not have been entirely so, for, naturally, we wished the boost our own teams and school. A few personal items have gone by which have proved to be too personal or perhaps just a little too frank. We regret this and we suggest that next year the principal or some other member of the faculty be chosen as a faculty adviser or sort of critic for the paper. This past year the departments of the paper have not been thoroughly organized and too much work fell on just a few. The responsibility fell on only a few, rather than on the entire staff. Our staff consisted of only twelve of our most earnest, enthusiastic workers, while in many schools the staff consists of three of four times as many. As this was our first experience in this line of work, We have made a number of mistakes. We believe that the Editor-in-Chief, Lige Putman, and Business Manager, Marion Elliott, will profit by experiences and mistakes and publish a much more complete paper than we have done.

An article or an edi- , iff torial oftentimes portrays the character of the author. So it is 1 , , with this 1919-20 year book. Taking the members of the Melon b gg Vine staff as a number of students. we find them willing, energetic, 'N far-seeing, who have not only done much toward putting out this :W ,Mi annual, but who have divided their time between it and other YA equally important activities in the school. Although theirs has K, not been the easiest time imaginable, it has been a very happy ' time, iull of suggestions, plans, work and hopes. IQ, 1 IN JOHN SPRATT, commonly known as Kid Spratt, we found if iz' a conscientious, enthusiastic Editor-in-Chief, who, in spite of his Qx many duties, always found time to boost every other plan or 'Q My activity that would, in any way, help his school. He is a great ff, Leliever in school spirit-lots o' pep, he calls it. To try to say , iff just what he has been to W. H. S. these last two years would almost exhaust our vocabularies. 'Tis better to say that he has done ,v M11 his bit. lx, ls N l , In the fall of 1918 there entered the halls of W.

Her ability 'W' 5 and love for literary work have been welcomed. Let us further say that when W. I-I. S. loses her, it will be hard to find another .IIA like her. To most people she is known as Lucille Matthews, but to the Staff she is Bob . 1 if JOHN RIEVES, Business Manager land lately photographerj, dl' proved to be powerfully active when it came to catching the ne: T.

It was an Y NI' occasion when out-siders came in-another attraction. W Girls were running from one room to another discussing little ' if matters of dress-big matters to them-and everything being equally g i as important. Now and then you might have found a room that was quiet and where its occupant was deeply engrossed in a book in or her own thoughts. Often times it was thoughts, gradually drift- li. 'xy' ing into dreams, as is the way of girls' thoughts. In one of the best l Xp, furnished rooms in the South Hall- -the Hall spelled with a capital H , I -a number of girls had gathered to discuss the coming event-and gig to await the afternoon's mail, for what would a dance be without the Q right fellow along? F, lit. Going, Betts? Oh, of course you are tho' , said Jennie Bee, a QA, 'gl rather pretty girl at the window seat. QQ QF' Not unless Jimmie comes, old dear, answered Betty, languidly. Oh why? You know there are plenty o' boys dying to go with Sit V you, and I can't see how Jimmie is so wonderful, spoke up another l :K girl, who secretly envied Betty's popularity. V' You don't know Jimmie, he's different, answered Betty. Q I' Mary Bell and Ruth looked at each other and smiled knowingly. o, , 1 It's just that she can't make a fool of him, whispered Ruth. ' .irq Oh why be so particular, Betts? asked Mary Bell. Why if won't you go?

'I f' At times the girls declared she was unreasonably queer, altho' f, I' she had always been considered a whole-hearted sport, full of school , In spirit and encouragement for the whole crowd, of which she was I' its queen. Even in her Freshman years, she had gained recognition I in all circles and had even been asked to join some of the clubs, a wi , hope a Freshman always has. In her second year she had the honor, mi as the girls expressed it, of claiming as an ardent admirer the Senior ll-lg' hero. Not one serious thought had she for this young athlete, but , he, to quote his fellows, was hard hit . So it had been with them Qi ,.

Betty was in love. Though none of the girls QQ had seen the wonderful .Jimmie, each had pictured him a dashing lt! In young knight. X , Let us look in the other end of the hall and see the contrast. lil QQ The room was modestly, yet tastefully, furnished, giving an unmis- takable impression of home , Many of the furnishing had that ,5 ol. little home-made touch that made it all the dearer to the owner's heart. At the window sat a small girl in a deep arm chair with a Y V copy of Milton. Her eyes weren't on the pages, but on the sunset, X f, whose splendor tinted the whole sky. The other girl sat at the f dressing table working with a bit of ribbon that had been the girdle 'Q N of a soft evening dress. Occasionally she glanced into the mirror lx Qs., and frowned. ,. Jean, won't you please fix this ribbon for me? I just can't get 'V ' it right. and she jerked the ribbon from the dress angrily. Jean, the girl at the window, rose, put down her book and took x X up the dress. ' Suppose we do it like this- Or how do you like it this way? K QW-K she asked, placing the ribbon on the dress. n Oh, just any way. I just know my hair is going to look i , ' fierce tonight. I can't do a thing with it and some of the boys U we ii xx . from the university are coming over. Oh, I see myself making a hit! ' She finished in disgust. f' 1' l' Suppose you let me arrange it, Mable, Jean suggested. i ' After much brushing, pulling and patting the short black hair, ' she asked: Q' ' How's that? And say, Mable, don't you think-don't you lxf, I think your eyebrows are just a trifle too--? Ji' .q Jean, you poor old maid. interrupted Mable, don't you know fl you'll never get any where. I'll tell you, honey, let me fix you up 1 l and you come to the dance. Come on, kiddo! N No, thanks. I have some reading to do. I couldn't go, really, IN and Jean retired to the window. ' 7' , i Just then the door burst open and a crowd of girls rushed in. What you gonna wear? Where's Jean? . I n Who fixed your hair? . ' Your dress is just darling. Every one spoke at once, for every , girl was enthusiastic to the hysterical point. There were plain girls all fl. and pretty girls, big girls and little girls, but apparently girls of til' t-Z one class. 1 Q, I've been trying to get Jean to go to the dance.

But Jean laughed and thanked them all, but said she wouldn't if' go-not tonight. When they were gone, she went to her book, tx fx but some way, she couldn't keep her mind on it. Suddenly she rg, wondered if she were growing old, getting so she didn't care for iff ' ff young people's company. She had never thought of it this way y before. Did men want girls who knew how to dress and girls who l Q, danced and talked small talk with ease? She wondered how one of N 4 Mable's evening dresses would look on her-the one with the silver lace, or the pale blue, with tiny ruffles. With trembling fingers, she 'X I. swiched on the light in the adjoining room and found the long- WX Syn dreamed-of pale blue, for we must admit Jean had dreamed many N J times of pale blues, for she was but human, with a girl's love of f' soft, lacy things. Again with trembling fingers, she hooked up the X dress and surveyed herself in the mirror. Just a little long, not K It really bad, on her. She came closer. Why, I'm so different looking-I'm almost pretty, and then li xl 7 she blushed and called herself names and took off the dress quickly- 3. 9 ,gy and yawned. A li, As she sat at the little ivory-colored dressing table, brushing fig her long fair hair, she began to dream: ' l ' . V Wouldn't it be nice if there was a balcony with roses, and stars-and a moon, of course, and then Jean hid her face and whis- H Wig pered -and HE would be down there on the grass playing a K, I guitar and singing, 'Come, live with me in a Rose Garden, dear.' XL. X ' Oh, listen to me, I'm getting sentimental. And she went to her ig bookg but, in spite of all effort to concentrate, roses - balcony - ,f stars -song , floated through her mind. if Oh!

JF Open it quick, Jean, cried Mable, as she rushed into the I iw' room with a box addressed in a boyish hand to Miss Jean Blake. ' Apparently Jean was not nearly so excited as Mable. By this time E W girls across the hall had heard Mable's high tones and rushed in. W as Slowly, with beating heart, Jean opened the box. 7, Rose buds! exclaimed one girl. 5 I' Oh, you sly girl! , In But Jean only said, Oh, and tears came in her eyes. She saw :K the card first and tucked it into her dress before the others saw ' it. She lifted the tiny pink tea roses to her face-and smiled. Again wi' , she was happy. W Who is he, Jean? Do tell us. Sli' I'm sure I don't know, only his name is Jimmie, she answered, , smiling to herself. She wouldn't tell them of the meeting. 'Y I it si THE ' . MEIJON VINE I Y But Jimmie who? they cried in chorus, There are dozens of 5 lf' Jimmiesg in fact, it's a very common name. Q Og, And they begged and threatened before Jean could make them X believe she really didn't know. Q if Well, ain't that the limit, said one tall girl, especially noted for her slang. But Jean had slipped away to read his message: L J Dear Jean: fha Won't you please, please come to the Aprons and Overalls GW! dance with me next Friday night? I know you'll go. I'm coming I for you. Yours, JIMMIE lx ,X Jean stood, leaning her head against the window and pinched in I 5- herself to see if it were really true. No, she wouldn't go. Why, KV she'd never really met him. She didn't even know his name and besides there was an examination to study for. No she wouldn't ' go. Aprons and Overalls! You know I like you, he had said. Well, why not? she N thought, and counted the hours until Friday night. ,SX Jean never forgot that Friday night, for from it she got ideas IA-, that made her one of the most popular girls in school. She often I wondered why Jimmie cared for her, if he really does, she always x added, for to her Jimmie was all that a knight should be. He was gentle, kind, straightforward-not at all like other boys she knew. K Every day he grew dearer to her, not in the silly, sentimental sort of 4' way, but in a friendly way. It had never occurred to Jean to try Q to find out Jimmie's name. She had been with him only a few gy' times and always there seemed to be so many other things to say. , if His notes were always signed with just Jimmie and that was the f - way she thought of him. i K' The last few weeks had been very full. There were examina- N tions and everything that takes up time, and too, she had been work- f4 ing on her play. Now it was finished and her hopes were high. i,. , Unlike many of the girls, she had never mentioned it to any one. tl . She hugged her secret close and awaited the decision. iw' One day she receivd a note from the hall Quotes seldom came ' f from there to Jeanll. It read: i x Come in to our mid-night supper tonight. We assemble at as 10 oclock. We shall expect you. U P U 57, Y. JENNIE B. AND BILTTY. W I' Now it happened that Betty and Jean had come from the same I town, hence the invitation. While Jean had gone to public schools, '- Betty had had a governess, but Jean didn't mind that. She was YQ? ' ' happy in her own way and seriously doubted Betty's happiness. At first she debated accepting and then thought, Why shouldn't I go? pp Am I not as good as she is? I might as well meet some of her ill' Q92 friends, too. And, girl-like, she began thinking of what she would A wear. 'I s Y, V . ...ffn lx , 'I MELON VINE 2 -'Ji .l 'f . I Ten o'clock found her timidly knocking on Betty's door to be I greeted by a spooky figure who opened the door for her. The lights had gone off at 9:45, but the girls had provided candles and Betty's Qi? ng I I It 3. X . . Mg pretty candle sticks made it quite picturesque. Jean hardly knew Sly there were so many girls in school. There was a continuous stream IN, coming into the room. She didn't know where they were all going il wit W 'A X 'Y fs if to stand for there wasn't room to sit. But Jean had forgotten that Jennie B's. and Betty's rooms were almost the largest in the dormitory. ' And such a party as it was. Every one was in the best of in spirits. Promptly at twelve the refreshments were served and in y-N1 the midst of the merry-making Betty jumped up on a table in the 1 ag 1 center of the room and began in a mocking tone: My deahs, you y? , remember some time ago some of this same crowd was heah and a , number of you wagered that Jimmie wouldn't propose to me within a , month. I accepted the challenge and here I am! And she held lf' up her slim, white hand where gleamed a stone that none had seen 'X there before. The girls jumped up, eager to see it and she held out ,N ' her hand daintily. ' I , Take a look, girls, you may never see another like it. It's the Q real thing, you know! and she laughed merrily, almost mockingly. i Jimmie who? Jean asked the girl who sat next to her. IAX Her heart was beating fast. Could it be my Jimmie? she thought, and then wondered why she had thought MY Jimmie. He had been Q ' egg' nothing save a friend to her. QA If' Oh, James Handcock, one of the University boys, SOME boy, too. Only one Betty ever thought twice about, the girl answered gill, 9 carelessly with her eyes on Betty, who still stood on the table laugh- , L' ing and talking with the girls. Jean hardly knew what happened lg after that. .She didn't remember how she got away, but when f she got out into the hall she ran madly to her own room. ,j M Why, you little goosie, there's more than one Jimmie in that cf' J., University, and anyway, what is Jimmie to you? she cried to herself angrily. But in spite of herself, she thought of the girl's . f words, He's SOME catch. Any girl in school would be tickled to Q death to even know him. He's the most talked of boy in the WC QS University. And Jean knew in her heart that it was the same jx? f Jimmie. This other girl, the girl who had always had everything, 'Y7 f now had Jimmie. It was a wakeful night for Jean. Dozens of in times she reasoned with herself that she didn't care. 5' ls it real? and Say, I like you flashed before her and she a heard his voice again and again. 'f ' Morning found Jean with dark circles around her eyes. When it P, Mable came up from breakfast-Jean wouldn't eat any-and told her ill! there was a letter in her box, Jean went down with no enthusiasm Qi!! and found a brief note informing her that her play had been chosen f as the class play and to call at the office of the Dramatic club that .J afternoon. Even this did not help Jean, and then it came to her 'I 'K Tr ' FX'-X .Q ,- -'14 -'.L9 ! x' ,.-:- . 555 THE x MELGON VINE 1 w5'Ms S?ri6 af 'g!E V ., suddenly, she mustn't let anyone know, and, least of all, Jimmie N Qi' himself, for she was still confident it was Jimmie-he admired a sport.

She would Q' 41.9.3 be in spite of it and she laughed to herself. 1 Miss Blake-telephone, called a voice as she started upstairs. ' ' ', Jean? Qtr? i i My Jean? Q H' This is Jean Blake. f t Vg, Well, you are my Jean, aren't you? SF' x 4- Please don't talk nonsense Mr.-1 She was at a loss, it Y 1' would sound foolish to say Mr. Jimmie, and she didn't know his other KZ N name, and she wouldn't say Jimmie. So she hung up the receiver. f lj But Jimmie wasn't so easily put off. He called again and she ll. Q answered. i Jean, Won't you please come out this afternoon? It's Spring you ,lx W know. lg. fy' Really, I can't. n 1 Don't you want to? x N--. Yes. Then at two, Jean, and he was gone. Q M She would make him sorry. She would fool him.

It was enough fll' 5 to be there. They didn't need to speak. i L' Jimmie, does your name happen to be Handcock? she asked, l oh, ever so evenly. if Well, how did you guess Jeanie? he asked in answer. x, , So it was true. Her Jimmie-and he had just played. He I' J- hadn't meant it. But she must be a sport. So she just laughed. if tw' Oh, I'm a good guesserj' but she could think of nothing else to I Y say, and they rode on. Q The air was full of Spring. There were apple blossoms and IM birds and the blue sky, but Jean didn't see them. Miles and miles '-11 'Q they rode and finally stopped under some great trees. If Hungry, Jean? he asked lightly, but there was something pi deeper under that tone. '. fl Jean guessed she was, she hadn't thought of it before. Her ' ' plan was working miserably. Why, she wasn't making him sorry lg 1 at all. She didn't know how. They ate almost in silence. in Jean, you do care, don't you? I mean you will when we get ,lf A2 older, won't you? His boyishness made her happy again, but she ' g only smiled and was happy. 5 When she returned she thought of her summons to the office V THE f u MEISON VINE 2 l .

We have been watching your work for some time and M' you haven't disappointed us. ,fl ll-xyf Jean felt better already. She wondered why she hadn't been ae happier this morning. INQ We want to ask you, Miss Blake-we have decided that you my are the one to play the leading part in your play. Will you do it? ll S37 She, Jean Blake. who had never done anything but sing at l' High school entertainments and jig at the Missionary minstrel, was ,A asked to take the leading part in a college play.

At last she found a bunch 'il W of tiny tea roses exactly like the first ones he had sent her. They are just like you, Jean. That was all, but it was quite enough. She threw herself into a chair and buried her face. She was crying my when the door opened softly and Betty's voice whispered, You '- N t . did wonderfully and, listen, it was all bluff about Jimmie.
