Some seemed to have a natural talent for fitting themselves into the scene, while others missed their cues andf stumbled about among the stage properties much to the delight of the more experienced players. But the newness soon wore off and each played his minor part in the school to the best of his ability. A few, however, found that they could not stand the test and dropped out before the play was well on its way. The upper classmen found that this little class was an important addition to the usual cast of characters. I'n a certain phase of the acting, football for example, they even excelled the combined forces of the former stars in a scheduled test. They began to feel very proud of themselves, notwithstanding their many errors. Then one day they found their first act had ended. How very quickly it had passed! After a three months intermission, the second act began. The actors were more at home now: indeed, they felt like veterans. They seemed to feel their importance even more than the seniors. When work on the annual began, which was Weslaco High School's first volume, there were angry snarls and contemptuous frowns, for it was suggested that these players have a group picture put in the annual. No! said they emphatically, that might do for mere Freshmen and other insignificant people, but positively not for grown-up Sophomoresf' To keep peace and harmony in the school, thsee proud students were granted their wish. This act, as a whole, was a profitable one for both the class and the school. Mr. Martin came to Weslaco High as director of Boys' Athletics. Under his expert direction they won Valley Championship in football and' basketball. But this act, also, soon drew to a close. One rainy day in the fall of 1925 the little band of players began the third act of their drama. Most of the former stars were assembled for the first re- hearsals. Several new ones sought admission and, after being found worthy, were taken in. The intermission had rested and' refreshed them: so they went to work with a will. As Juniors, they had the honor of publishing the second volume of the Weslaco Hi-Life. Profiting by the first Hi-Life staff's mistakes, they so improved the paper as to win third place in the state contest. Players from distant towns increased the number of the cast to forty for the last and greatest act. Most of the seniors, however, had appeared in every act. This class took charge of the third volume of the La Palma, and after overcoming many difficulties, they began to make a success of it. The basket- ball team, composed mostly of seniors, won recognition in Southwest Texas as star athletes. The curtain falls on the Seniors of '27: their day on the stage of Weslaco High School is done. After having been in training on the stage of high school for four years, each player is now ready to take a leading role in the drama of life, feeling perfectly confident that he will soon be a star worthy of the world's applause.

Prophesy the destinies and attainments of the graduates of 1927, the brightest, happiest group who have ever made a triumphant exit through the portals of our school. I threw aside an uninspired pen and walked out into the cool evening. Strolling on, all unconscious of my whereabouts, I suddenly looked up and saw before me a run-down shack such as I have read about. On a small placard over the door were the words, Your Future Revealed. The inspirational idea suddenly dawned upon me to go in and let another solve my puzzle. Upon entering the hovel, I saw there an old, grey, wrinkled woman dressed in oriental robes. I explained to her my mission, and she re- vealed to me the following. I see for you in the future much travel in which you will meet many old classmates. On March 12, 1957 you will see a gray-haired, dignified' old doctor who is none other than Charles Swanzey, a graduate of 1927. He is sitting iin a large armchair before a glowing fire, chatting with his wife, Evelyn Nevill. He shows her a picture of a man and woman who are leaving on the Seneca for Africa to become missionaries. These are Ralph Leech and Charlotte Gaines. Later you will meet a lovely girl dressed in Grecian robes. She is flitting around a group of old men. This dancer is none other than Ruth Tarpley. Standing a little apart from this group is a man whom you recognize as Rae I-Iennon. He seems interested in the young girl who is his promised wife. In Paris you see two graduates of '27. On a large stage with an interior setting, a man and woman are seen to be quarreling. Upon looking at your program, you will find that these actors are Mr. and Mrs. Murry Bennett. Mrs. Bennett before her marriage was Miss Jessie King of Weslaco. These two are impersonating Maggie and Jiggsf' On the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States are two women. the lirst women to be so honored. They are Ruby Henrichson and Lila Mae Jordon. As you enter the court room, Frankie Thompson is fined S300 and costs of court for having beat her husband, Freeman Ford, on Sunday. In Pittsburg there is a new factory under the name of Cook and Childreef' Your old classmates are very busy manufacturing greaseless hot dogs and' skid- proof banana peels. The flashing headlines in 'The New York World,' dated April l, 1940, read thus: Mr. Tyne A. Perkins donates 81,000,000 to 'The Wife Ex- terminator Club', of which he is a member. Tyne was ever a noted woman- hater. ln the same paper is an article by Miss Cora Wagers, a graduate of '27 who is the editor of the 'Physical Culture' magazine. In Memphis, Tennessee you will see a large group of people standing on a street corner. As you hurry down to see what all the excitemnt is, you be- hold Mary Chambers and Weldon Swinnea, dressed in suits of the Salvation Page 28 5.5 :IE :HE Er: 2 i ci: 1 :zu E E' Q i 3 i is 1 i -. - 3 5.

Mary is singing a very beseechmg song and Weldon is playing the ,Q- 'Q banjo in accompaniment. Hugh Russel is heard preaching the gospel to the 1? interested crowd. F3 - Walking on down the street, you pass a barber shop with the name, 'Mil- I ler and Bostick,' hanging above the door. Upon entering the shop, you will : find Mina Marie Miller, our Senior declaimer, massaging a young woman's E 2 face. You will hardly recognize the youthful looking woman with the auburn I S tresses as Juanita Bostick, a typical brunette of the class of 1927. 2 S While you are still in Memphis you go to a theatre. You find that Narcis- 2 sus Black and Ruth Sheppard are ushers, and they will inform you that Clin- E E ton Compere is the manager of this theatre. Q E The feature of the evening's entertainment is the fast fox-troting team, 3 E composed of Geneva Lantrlp, Erma Andersen, and Juanita Martin, who are S E under the instruction of Dale Hollis and Homa Moreland. Hollis and More- E E land have a dancing school in New York City. E E Looking over the bills of coming attractions, you will find a picture E- E of a face vaguely familiar. It is that of Senorita Trevino of Mexico City, who E E is scheduled for the next night's performance. This famous prima donna has Z as her team-mate, Miss Mildred' Smith, one of the foremost pianists of the day. E 5 Seated in a palatial office, you see a very distinguished looking gentleman Z E whom you recognize to be none other than Ralph Klamm, a Senior of '27. He E Q is the professor of Law at Columbia University. : Married to Pola Negri is a handsome man of forty-five years. Yes, it is i E Neal Roberson, a former Senior of Weslaco High School. His life's work is E E that of directing motion pictures. His secretary, Byrd Bridgeforth, informs him E that an old classmate has applied for the position as leading man in his latest S 2 picture. This handsome star is Mike Warren Clifford, who has a knack for E E taking leading roles. E EE Thirty years hence you will make a call at the White House to see a form- Q er graduate of 1927. Mr. Ordell Roberson is serving his country as president. Q E In a little town in North Dakota you will find Paul Netz. He is coaching E E the high school football team and using to advantage much of the training he E E ,has received in his college days. E ' Turning to me, the old woman told me that a veil was drawn over the E E future and that she could see nothing else. As I left the hovel, I quickly re- Q E viewed the revelation which I had just heard from the lips of a true prophet.

E E As to such estate as Fate and Fortune did direct our strong hands, our bril- E E liant minds, and our never-erring footsteps, we do leave the same as follows: 2 E To our beloved faculty we do bequeath all the startling knowledge and E E amazing information which we have given them from time to time in our ex- E E amination papers. E E We do bequeath, collectively and individually, to the Junior class our exten- E E sive privileges which we have enjoyed throughout our Senior year, as well as 2 E our present Senior dignity. E E J. H. Head, alias Mate, leaves his great nautical knowledge to Emmett 2 E Clement. Ralph Leech leaves his graceful figure to Scotty. E5 -5 Generous Warren Clifford wills his jet black hair to Nelle Whitehead. gg E Hazel Stone bequeaths her graceful slimness of figure to Hazel Bennett. ig E Our awe-inspiring Senior athletes leave to their aspiring successors their love g E for the strict training rules which they kept very rigidly. 2 E To Norma Van Vliet is willed the pretty freckled complexion of Cora 23 E Wagers.

E E Juanita Martin leaves her extreme height to Wilburn Montgomery.

With sympathy and interest Miss gf, Horton is always ready to share every joy and' sorrow which comes to the students. She will ever be remembered by Weslaco High School, especially Aw. A -- Vi l M by the Seniors, as a true friend and counselor. ,E-vi The heavy load of responsibility borne by Miss Horton in sponsoring the Hrst two volumes of the La Palma, led to the wise appointment of Mrs. Thompson as faculty adviser to the business staff.

They were chosen from the most promising students in the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades, which comprise the Junior High School. The selection was a wise step, for they have proved themselves very valuable in lightening the busy labor of the senior Workers. Their cheerful helpfulness in performing any little task assigned them has verihed the fact that they are truly deserving of membership on the La Palma staff.

Deen, our superintendent, suggested that Weslaco High E have a paper. It was decided to let the Junior Class publish it, and Virginia E Voigt was the first editor-in-chief. The paper, however, was Without a name, T i L Z2 E 1. i E l so a contest opened. Everyone who subscribed could enter a name in the con- Q test. The winner, Leona Gibson, received the live dollar prize for the name, i l The Weslaco Hi-Life. T In 1925 Weslaco became a member of the T. H. S. P. A., with Jessie King jg as editor, and brought back themileage cup from the convention at Baylor Bel- Z ton. Robertine Deen was elected treasurer of the organization. i In 1926 the Hi-Life , with Nelle Whitehead as editor, was enlarged. VNine E 2 representatives went to the convention at Baylor this year. The Hi-Life is the mirror of the school. It supports activities, emphasizes A 2 Z - 1 the school spirit, and adds to the life of the school.

The glee club offers opportunities for more finished work than can be done in class room and thus make possible the study of longer and more difli- cult compositions. 2. lt tends to develop musical talent through affording expression to the especially interested and capable pupils. 3. By expressing itself in entertainments, it furnishes a natural outlet for the kindly, altruistic spirit which music study should produce. 4. lt has valuable social possibilities, both for the group within itself and in establishing of fine relations between pupils, school and community. The Glee Club of Weslaco High School was considered an extension of class room work and was a student organization. The Glee Club girls have made splendid progress considering their experience in Cilee Club work. Their songs have been of the classical nature and they deserve special mention for their excellent interpretation of difficult numbers which were included in their repertoire. They are to be congratulated for the splendid work they have done: and we hope that they will continue their education towards an increasing love and knowledge of good music which is a vital element in the education of the people.

The class is composed of the Sixth Grade girls. The Work consists of plays, games and general gymnastics. It is our purpose to train for the things we will meet tomorow, to care for the body so as to bring it up to its maximum efficiency in a well proportioned, all-round development. Our games consist of group contests, singing, games, basketball, volley ball, play game ball, and tennis. Through games we develop self-control, determina- tion, leadership, obedience, prompt response to calls of duty and co-operation, which is so necessary in modern life. The spirit of play is that spirit of joyfulness, of alertness, of optimism which we all like to see in others. The person who goes forth into nature life carrying into his work this same spontaniety and simplicity of the child will be a suc- cess in Whatever he may undertake.

E E In the spring of the year it has always been customary for the senior class of Weslaco High 2 E School to have the privilege of a holiday which has been called Senior Day. The Senior Class Z E of '24 spent their holiday at Point Isabel. This established a precedent which all of the suc- E 3 ceeding classes have followed, and. because of this, Point Isabel has become the playground for 5' E the seniors. This day is always looked forward to with a great deal of anticipation, for all E thoughts of school and lessons are left behind and everyone has made preparations to fill the E E day with laughter and joyous hilarity. E E The Senior Class of '27 proclaimed March 17 as Senior Day and early on the morning of E E this memorable day these privileged seniors could be seen parading the town dressed in overalls E E and carrying their bathing suits. Many were the condescending glances that they gave to the 2 E few underclassmen whom they met as they left town. Their journey of sixty miles was un- 5 E eventful, and it seemed but a very short time until they were able to see in the distance a faint E glimmer of water. knowing by this and the cool freshness of the atmosphere that they were near- E S ing their destination. The smooth expanse of the sea soon became clearer, and one could 2 see the sea gulls with their white wings looking like miniature sails as they skimmed over the E E water. The many white sailboats dotting the horizon made the seashore look very picturesque. E E As they rounded a curve they saw located on the slope of a small hill the village of Point E E Isabel. The population of this little town is composed chiefly of people who devote most of S their time to fishing in the bay, and their small boats are often seen along the pier or out E E upon the water. Along the shore farther away from the town one may see bare-legged, men E making their meager living by hunting for oysters which they sell to the neighboring towns. E 72 it E The seniors arrived at a small cafe where some, who in their excitement that morning had 5 E forgotten to eat breakfast, received a meal of sandwiches, fish, and oysters. Since the proprie- E 2 tor of the cafe had been misinformed as to the time of their arrival, which he thought to be Q about three o'clock. they decided to take their trip to Padre Island, just across from' the main- E land, and to return for lunch about three o'clock. They accordingly rode down to the pier 2 E where they took a motor boat to the island. They landed with a great deal of laughter and E E started for their long walk across the sandy island. Since it was rather cool only a few had E E nerve enough to take a plunge in the cold water which was thundering in high waves over the E E beach. After a short time they went back to the pier where their boat was waiting to take them E back to the mainland. E E The long trip to the island had given them such enormous appetites that they were able to do E E justice to the ample and delicious meal which had been prepared for them at the Carlos Cafe. E E Since everyone was tired, they decided to return home but wished that every day could be S 2 Senior Day.

E COACH JENKINS E A very important- addition to the faculty of Weslaco High was made when, at the be- E ginning of this year, Mr. Jenkins came to us as assistant coach. In this capacity he has dis- E played decided ability, proving himself very efficient and capable. E Under the leadership of Mr. Jenkins the Junior High team won honors. and through E excellent training of this year, championships for the future football teams of Weslaco High E will be more certain. At times when it became necessary, Coach Jenkins very ably took :E charge of our basketeers, and their success in winning the championship was due, in a measure. : to his efforts. It 5 Only success can be the estimate of the work of Coach Jenkins for his first year in Weslaco 5 High, and by his pleasing personality, as well as his athletic abilities, he has won a place in the E hearts of the students of W.

We had a powerful and willing team, which, though somewhat in- experienced, showed itself far superior to every other team in the Valley. We suffered only one defeat, and that was to Harlingen, by the margin of one lone touchdown-it being scored on a fiuke in the closing two minutes of the game. The Panthers did not try to pile up everwhelming scores on their opponents. We had a powerful line and a fast backneld, but the practice of Weslaco teams has been to play steady and consistent football, and this has always proved suf- ficient in the past. The past season was not all a disappointment, it was a de- cided success. We won the undisputed championship of Hidalgo County and were credited with having by far the best defense in the Valley.

The Panthers were handicapped E at the start of the season by injuries and inexperienced men. As a result we 2 dropped the first game of the season to Mercedes by a close score. This was the E .5 only loss for the Panthers in the district and this loss was later avenged on our 5 own court. After the Mercedes' game the team realized just what they had to E Z do and they determined to iinish the season without a defeat. E E Weslaco struck other handicaps in .sickness and the postponement of games E E because of inclement Weather. It was necessary to have the district champion- 2 S ship off by Feb. 18. To do this we had to play four postponed games in four E E consecutive days, then play with Mercedes for the County Championship the E :. : :: Pl c: 'E ra ... S.

This is a tremendous feat for a small high school, but our boys delivered the goods and Weslaco was acclaimed the Cham- pions of District 27. The next week, the team Went to Taft, Champions of District 26, to play for bi-district honors. The game was played on the Taft indoor court and this was a great disadvantage for the Panthers. Our boys put up a tremendous battle, but the experience of the Taft team on an indoor court proved enough of an advantage to defeat the Panthers. The final score was: Taft, 32, Wes- laco, 28. This Was the closing encounter for the Fightin' Panthers of '27. - A Page 7 8 -- l i 2' qi Z L L - -Q 1 E i i 2 E 2.3 F5 E E E E E E E .E E Ti 2 .- 2 2 X x Ill llllllllllllllllll IllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIllIlillllllllllllllllllllllllllllUllllllllllllllllilllllll llllllIIIHIllllllIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll-E m?sb 71: A effflf, , is s- C 1- 'G ala -., :.--.i 1-1 -- in i 5 e 'Ei 2 .. 2 i A 2 1 Y N . , 'H I :mf-1' , ' , im I, .
