Vkfhen to these are added truth and frankness. coupled with gentleness which has been ever apparent throughout three gears in the sponsorship of a class, the highest tribute is indeed the praise due, So we hestow on her the highest honor in our power when we gladly dedicate this volume to MRS.

Page IZ x lt is a far cry from the old dugout school, taught by Miss Carrie Craig, later Mrs. Barwise, before 1879, to the handsome modern structure we now use, the Wichita Falls Junior College building. The progress, slow at times, has been marked by the patient, untiring efforts of those who have been definitely interested in the upbuilding of our educational system. What happened to the old dugout cannot be learned, for when Judge Barwisc. that remarkable character who settled here in 1879, wanted to send his children to school, Miss Hattie Seeley, here with her father, taught them in her bedroom. The first public school was established in 1880, at which time a one-room log house was built, and Mr, James Humphries, who had come with Judge Bai' wise, was installed as teacher. It was about this time that Wichita County was separated from Clay, so the educational development began with the political growth. ln 1881 Mr. McNeese taught fifteen pupils in this same log building. which now had been equipped with twelve split log benches, a black-board. and a stove. The school was indeed a social center then, for it was used for Sunday School as well as for all public meetings. The number of students rapidly increased, for in 1882 three teachers were employed, Miss Nellie O'Donnell being one, and a new two-room building for the other children erected. It was the following year that Miss l,ulu Barwise, now Mrs. A. H. Carrigan, assisted Mr. Cherry as a teacher. The year 1884 needs especial mention for the work of Mr. Hickey. one of the most brilliant men who has helped to make Wichita Falls what it is. lt was he who held night exhibitions to interest the patrons, and interested they became. He also invited, through the papers, members of the board and certain patrons to visit the school on stated days. This stirred the interest of the board, whose interest was not what it might have been. Miss Kate Haynes, that invaluable teacher who is continuing to give such effi- cient service in the schools, first entered the system as a substitute teacher in 1886 under the superintendence of Mr. Burks. In 1891 under Mr. Gladden she began to teach regularly. The year 1888-89 is to be noted for the fact that Judge Yeager was superin- tendent, and Miss Lulu Barwise, now Mrs. A. H. Carrigan. one of his teachers. These splendid people are still in the city and have never lost interest in its education. Central School at Tenth and Scott Streets Page 13 A Mr. Gladden, a fine man and an excellent disciplinarian, began his three years work in 1889. He helped the inexperienced teachers very much by demonstrating methods and devices through actually teaching classes. During his superintendency, the first organization of the lndependent School District of Wichita Falls was formed. The first bonds were issued August 4. 1890. for 322,500 for the erection of a high school on Bluff Street between Thirteenth and Fourteenth. This building has been remodeled and repaired several times, but it is still in use as an annex to the Junior High School. 1t was from this building that the first class was graduated in 1892. Of the five members two, Mrs. Hartman and Mrs. Farris, are still residents of Wichita Falls. It is to Mr. VJ. F. Jourdan of Wichita Falls that the city is indebted for much progress in its school system. During his ten years' service, he met with many difficulties. School was delayed in 1896 until it rained, the cisterns being quite empty and the water system inadequate after a two years' drouth. Lack of teachers was the next trouble. Two were elected the day school opened, in order that the other six teachers be relieved. Dr. G. T. Winston, President of the University of Texaxs, came in 1898, at the request of Mr. Jourdan, to inspect the schools. This was of great importance, for two reasons: first, because it was the first visit of any State oflicial to inspect the Wichita Falls Schools: and second, because the ten aliiliation credits were given. Eight other units were added during Mr, Jourdan's ten years as Superintendent. In other ways, this ten years was one of rapid progress educationally. In 1896 there were 319 studentsg by 1906 there were 975. There were six teachers in 1896: there were twenty-one in 1906. The old Central School, located on Tenth Street, was converted into a XVard School, with Miss Kate Haynes as Prin- cipal and Primary Teacher. Through the untiring efforts of Miss Myrtle Coflield CMrs. Duncan Perkinsl and Miss Kate Haynes, the first piano in a Wichita Falls school was purchased during this period. Several years elapsed before the final payment was made. Many were the entertainments given in the building, faintly illuminated by flicker- ing coal oil lamps, to raise the necessary funds. During the summer months, the piano was rented to The Picture Show for five dollars a month. Today, in its old age, it is in daily use at the Alamo School. at which Miss Kate is the Primary Teacher.

A., out clearly in the minds of all teachers who served with years 1906 to 1909-he it was who raised the teachers' this, he was delightful to work for, and interesting when the rooms, because an adept in the art of story-telling. Mr. Toland may be known as the EH5ciency Expert. He was a splendid organizer. The present Junior High building was erected in 1910. The first Domestic Economy teacher, Miss Alver, and the first Supervisor of Music and Drawing, Miss Gordon, were employed by Mr. Toland. Miss Jessie Agnew, who interested many with her operettas and music, followed Miss Gordon. At the time of the erection of the new High School, the Alamo School was begun, The old Central School was moved to the present Washington School site, and used for the colored children, In 1915, Mr. Clarke became Superintendent. Among the many things that were added to the schools during his superintendency were three supervisors. Music and drawing were separated: an art and a writing supervisor were employed? these have helped to unify and improve the work throughout the grades. Requirements for teachers were raised: salaries were increased: several new brick buildings were erected: cafeterias were inaugurated: and playgrounds more carefully supervised. Night schools were organized and proved fairly successful, but were later dis- continued. Mrs. M. M. Adickes, the first woman member of the School Board, was elected in 1920. A short time after, Mrs. Buchanan was elected. Since that time, there have been two ladies on the Board, who have proven very valuable-in fact, every member of the School Board seems intensely interested in the educational progress of this city. Dr. J. W. Cantwell, our present efficient Superintendent, entered upon his term of office in 1923, During his able administration, with the co-operation of the School Board, the Junior College building was completed: several new ward schools have been erected: and a modern high school is in the course of cone struction. The Mexican School is proving a success. Additions have been made to the negro school, to take care of the rapidly-increasing enrollment, and to pro- vide facilities for vocational training. With the splendid co-operation of the Board, the Superintendent, and the teachers, .and the organization of a City Teachers' Association. the educational progress in Wichita l'alls will continue to climb to heights as yet undreamed of. has been replaced by one purchased by Musicians' Club x Page PROGRESS OP OUR HIGH SCHOOL REPRESENTATIVE WARD BUILDINGS Puqe I7 3 Page 18 OUR HALLS ARE BEAUTIFIED WITI-I GIFTS FROM OUR FRIENDS Page I 9 Page 20 SNOW ,COMES OCC ASIONALLY TO BEAUTIFY OUR PARKS Page J.

EDUCATION Oli WICHITA lTAl.l S PUBLIC SCHOOIS The most important act of the Board of Education this year has been the investing to the best advantage the 3500.000 bond issue. During the year there has been erected and equipped the Crockett school building. XVe also have under construction a new Junior High building, which will cost, when it is equipped, around 3225.000 The erection of the Huey school building in the Scotland Addition supplies a long- felt need in that section. The well located building site was donated by Mr. A. l,.. Huey. Additions will be made to the Alamo and San Jacinto schools. The Washington school also has been added to. The first unit of a splendid building is under construction in the Country Club listate on a beautiful site donated by Messrs. XV, B. Hamilton and N. H. Martin. The board has procured legislative enactment, enlarging our school district. and thereby giving our district more funds. C. TVTCGREGOR NTRS. W. XV. SILK J. VJ. BRAIJIJZY W.W. BROWN.

May We all feel the power and eflicacy and obligations which the American High School is designed to bestow. Sincerely, FACM U VY QN c7H1s1,1.A HENDRICIK xfufxwcilzs CLAY IXIRS- A, H. ,IARRIQ HA.

BAUKNIGHT History History is the narration of events with their causes and effects, The event to which we now invite your especial attention is the progress of this mid-year class of 1926 through almost innumerable grades until we have broken the restraining bonds and have emerged as graduates of Wichita Falls High School, January 22, l926. There are thirty-eight of us now, and of course, with the knowl- edge we have acquired directly from the faculty, and indirectly from various sources not to be mentioned here, we are ready to take care of ourselves. The toga of wisdom envelops us. We have been considerate of the green Freshies: we have looked upon the Juniors with pitying eyes. We realize that once in the dim Vista of the past, we were almost as unripe as they, By our boundless energy, intense perseverance, and unlimited sources of power, we have forged ahead and accomplished marvels. Our wits are cleverer, our beauties more superb, our athletes stronger, our leaders more influential than those of any other class whose annals have been recorded. Our numbers are even greater than those of any former mid-year class. The space assigned to us is limited, or we would write a book about ourselves, but, fearing as we do, that some other class wants to ruin some good paper with ink, trying to make two blades of grass grow where all is barren, we yield that they may make the attempt.

This class has had more pep and enthusiasm than any class during the past four years. This fact may be attributed to our ath- letic interests and our social functions, as Well as the interest in the high school organizations. The outstanding athlete in the class is Wilkes Dobson, football captain for next year. The important social affairs were very successful. In par- ticular, We might mention the Junior-Senior party.

The enthusiasm with which the girls responded throughout the whole year was remarkable. To End and give the best Was the slogan practiced during the year. This was carried out Christmas when the girls Went to all parts of the city and found poor children. After they had found about three hundred chil- dren they brought them to a beautiful tree and made a real Christmas for them. The three sides of the triangle, the symbol of the Girl Reserves, repre- sent Health, Knowledge, and Spirit. All during the year sports of all kind were participated in, the principal sports being basketball and baseball. Not only was the knowledge increased in things to be found in books, but it was also increased in the spiritual things of life. In each program a certain proportion of time was given to devotionals. Oftentimes noted speakers gave interesting as Well as beneficial talks to the girls.

Sponsor ln accordance with the purpose of the organization of the Spanish Club, which is to give entertainment to its members as Well as to give them practice in the practical use of the language, the Spanish Club of- '26 has gone through a successful year of beneficial programs. Much good was derived, viewed educationally, from the various games and speeches that were presented in the Spanish language: and the delightful musical and dancing programs will ever be remembered by those who were fortunate enough to attend them. A A' Not only has the club furnished its members with entertainment and education, but it has given those who have been active in the real Work of the organization an amount of experience that will undoubtedly be of use to them in their future undertakings. S S Taking all things into consideration, it can truly be said, when look- ing back over the events that mark the progress of the club, that the time and efforts spent by the most excellent Spanish teachers, Misses Zihlman and lVlcCulloch, in supervising and leading the organization have not been wasted nor have they been in vain.

Her lovely face w-as framed in soft dark hair And set with jewels two that were her eyes, But looked, instead, as though they were some fairy gems Spun of fire and mist and summer skies, In whose clear depths there shone what was, I'rn sure, The baby star that dogged the frail new moon On that night when the fairies undertook To make a changeling of a human childq For changeling-child she was, none other could Have had the grave, unshadowed glance that goes With childhood, and is never held after A The years of innocence have slipped away. I wonder from what dancing winds she caught Her elnn grace, and from what Irish flower She stole the wild-rose color of her face. But this I know, some seeing eye has caught The charm of her, the vivid, fleeting grace, And placed it on canvas for all the world To look uponw-the flower that will not fade, A dream-child, wonder-eyed, my little Irish maid.

Q- gy , EQ QTEMH ED POWELL ED POWELL was elected to lead the pack, after Curtin was declared ineligible. This Coyote player is a true representative of every player giving his best on every play. His management, his line plunging, and his line backing were features of every game. This quiet lad is liked by every one of his teammates and admired by all for his grit. Besides being an athlete Ed is a good student and keeps up his studies through the year. The great value of Ed will be realized next year.

HENRIETTA O, WICHITA FALLS 22 The scrapping Henrietta team went down before the heavier Coyote team by a score of 22-O. Their lack of Weight was made up by the light they put into every play. Hodges and Curtin each tore off several long runs. Many passes were completed and both teams exhibited good tackling. Being the second game, several teams were given a chance to show their worthy each team Was able to hold the Henrietta team down. MORGAN GILLUM has the reputation of a hard fighting guard, Morgan suffered a great many injuries but his greatest game was played against Vernon when he was hurt. Page 106 yi ,ii in' Q Ly I .K,.

The score last year was O-O, but this season the score was a different story. Altus had one of the best passing teams played by the Coyotes, but it was met by equally as good pass defense. Late in the third quarter, Steed received a punt on the sixty-yard line and ran for a touchdown. COYAL FRANCIS, the Coyote triple-threat man, was one of the shining lights in every conference game. i,, rec. ae- J as IO 3 if g ,,,,, L, , ,,,,.

The game was played in midfield and at no time during the game did either threaten to score. Captain Sanderlin of Electra and Captain Curtin of the Coyotes were the de- fensive stars of both teams. Horton got off some good punts until his hip was dislocated during the third quarter. The lines of both teams held on every play.

Eversol, their fast halfback, made three touchdowns before the game had been going five minutes. Part of the Coyotes' flrst string were un- able to be there because of their studies and injuries. Ray's punting was excellent and kept the score from being much larger. JEWELL S'sK. the little right end, showed up exceptionally Well.

VERNON 35, WICHITA FALLS O The Coyotes suffered defeat at the hands of the Vernon Lions in a one-sided fray. Many penalties helped them to pile up the score. Most of the breaks Went to the Lions but their team Was no better than ours, as was proven two weeks later. Steed's returning punts and Ray's punts helped greatly in playing a defensive game. WALTER PINNEY, despite his lack of weight, was one of the best centers in the district in every department of play.

ELECTRA 6, WICHITA FALLS 12 The Coyotes beat the Electra Tigers in a new start. It was a hard fought game from start to finish. The defensive work of the Tigers was without reproach: Trammel starred for Electra-many times his long well-placed punts put them out of danger. Several times the Coyotes held Electra on our goal line. The good pass defense and the hard tackling of the Red and Black kept the hard hitting backfield of the Tigers from getting more than one touchdown. FLIP FLIPPEN was one of the few men able to play several positions well. Flip is well known for his hard tackling.

VERNON 7, WICHITA FALLS 19 The Vernon Lions were defeated in the most thrilling game of th-e season: the score at the end of the half was 7-0 Vernon, and at the end it was l9-7 Wichita. Powell was truly the star, making two touchdowns and one point after touchdown. In one part of the game Vernon had the ball on the four yard line with four downs to make it in. the line made a sensational hold and Horton punted to safety. Although Ryan, Vernon's quarter, was sick, he starred for them, making their only touchdown. JoE BAILEY BELL centered the ball true and guarded closely on passes. Jodie made a name for himself against Vernon. Page 112 HARLEY HERNDON was one of the fast- est men on the squad. He was a hard tackler and snatched down lots of passes. AMARILLO 14, WICHITA FALLS 7 VVith many men on the injured list and the rest tired from playing three games in two weeks, the Coyotes lost to the Amarillo team. Early in the first half Mitchell picked up a fumbled punt and raced forty-five yards for Wichita's only touchdown. The heavy backfield of the Golden Sandstorm continu- ally plunged our line without avail until late in the game, Considering the loss of men the Coyotes were not outplayed but outweighed. ZEKE TAYLOR had very bad luck this season, breaking his shoulder. Zeke was missed in the last games, but he will be a valuable man next year. Page 113 ldASl?lETl3!NlLllsil CAPTAIN MPERKH RAY piloted the Coyote cagers through a successful season. He was high point man in most of the games. Perk has been with the Coyote quintet for four years. He will be greatly missed next season. ED POWELL, last year's captain, reported this year and added more glory to his bas- ketball career. COYAL FRANCIS. the Coyote center, is playing his second year with the High School loopers. Coyal is an all-around ath- leter, contesting in four sports. KENNETH MILLS comes to us from Illi- nois and proves to be a real goaler. He is a hard worker and merits his W. Page 114 A O W. J. HOWARD is playing his second year as forward and center: his passing and good goal ringing makes him a valuable man. Graduation takes W. J. in the springg his place will be hard to fill. ODELL USWEDH' WAINSCOTT didn't know he was a cager as well as a grid star until he made a late appearance and made the regular by his good work at standing guard. GEORGE BROWN, the Scotchman, was a strong defensive man and was able to sink them at a long range. WALTER PINNEY missed a large part of the season but when he did get into action he displayed his ability to toss them straight. pre ,. E, is 'r4,?.i4. I U 2 U 5fe?.2gt .. L33 r i i ll 1 l i i H , X.

WILLIAM FLIP FLIPPIN guards his man closely. His ability is registered by his good defense. WILLIAM BILL MILLER always got the tip on every jump and made many fol- low-up shots, because of his height. FRANK RUGELEY was forced to miss most of the season but returned to Work all the harder.

His batting average for the three years with the baseball team is one to be envied, Graduation took one of our best men in taking Bill. The Coyote baseball nine proved that they were equaled by few in this district when they beat every team except Vernon. They played them three games and beat them one. Throughout the season the pitch- ing of Andree, Francis, Ray and Robinson was the thing that won many games. We had one of the best infields and outfields that ever played for the Coyotes. Page II7 HAROLD LESLIE, besides being able to get them any place on first, Harold was one of the home run leaders. COYAL FRANCIS, our '26 captain, pitched the Coyote nine to many victories. Because of his dependable pitching and hitting he was a very valuable man. MARVIN ROBERTSON played regular right field. Lefty's arm was an asset to the pitch- ing staff. OLIN HARVEY held down second base until the loss of Hicks, then Olin assumed the responsibility of catcher. RUFUS NEEL was air-tight on the hot corner and hardly ever let one slip by him. a VNV gllltlglg JCHNNY MCMAHON, the fleet center gar- dener, was the fastest base-runner and held the record for base stealing. PERKINS RAY was able to cover short- stop with great rapidity and to whip the ball straight to its mark. CLARENCE ADAMS. our diminutive left fielder, could lay down a bunt and beat it out any time it was needed. CLAUDE MILLER covered second base in the absence of Harvey and lacked nothing in speed and accuracy. ROSCOE BURKS held down the receiving end of the battery and seldom misjudged a barter. Page 119 QQTRAC lf CAPTAIN RUPHUS NEEL has raced for Wichita Falls High School for three years. Ruphus has never failed to place in the mile at the district meet. He is a hard Worker and a strict trainer. TRACK l 9 2 5 Although the track team did not have as much material as in former years, there were several men who developed in track stars and much is expected of them this year. Those lettering last year are: Captain Neal, Captain-elect Pinney, Porter Wolfe, Scog- gins, Bill Miller, C. Miller, Moore, West and Herndon. Page 120 WALTER PINNEY, captain-elect, made Z1 good record in running the hurdles, both high and low. Pinney placed at district in both and is predicted to carry away two first places this year, Walter letters in three sports: track, football and basketball. TRACK 1926 High hopes center around our track team of '26. We expect to carry off district hon- ors. Roy Porter will contend for the high jump: West will throw the discus: Miller will run 440 and 880: Ray, javelin and pole vault, and Martin, the 100-yard dash, Page 121 TENNT 3 l OSCAR POWERS Oscar worked his way to the finals at dis- trict. This year was Oscar's first in singles and although he did not win the champion- ship, much is expected of him this spring. SAM BASHARA Sam was Oscar's partner in doubles and the two won the district. Sam is attending the University of Texas this year and we know that Sam's playing will make State proud of him. MARJORIE BRIGHT Marjorie has represented High School in tennis singles and has gone to State each year. With the aid of Elizabeth Couper and Jewel Vs7illiams, Marjorie has carried the colors of W. F. H. S. successfully through four years. Page 122 1 ,,,-VV ,,. ,V, V m , V , ' JI -1 ,, .EVM X , Nm Ffa RQ, Ml .5 4,1,mV, K, IA , 2 Q, ,V Jifg, A-.x il,--ki x 5 f V E51 5 P . .Q 1 V + 3 .mv Eff?

W. Snider, the donors of the Snider Library. A beautiful bronze tablet as a token of appreciation of this useful and magnificent gift was unveiled. It reads: SNIDER LIBRARY GIFT OF MR. AND MRS.

It is one of the most thoughtful gifts that has been pre- sented to the school, and is a piano worthy of adorning the auditorium and in keeping with its grandeur and beauty. The club has given many splendid concerts, and has brought several famous artists to the city during the last few years, thus affording the public much entertainment. THE APPEAL TO THE GREAT SPIRIT The bronze statue, The Appeal to the Great Spirit, was presented to the Junior College by Mr. and Mrs. Saul Lebenson. The original statue stands in front of the Library in Boston, Massachusetts. The statue given to the Junior College is three feet four inches in height, and is made of the finest American bronze. There has been delay in the placing of the statue, because the pedestal, which is being made of Texas Red Ciranite. has not been completed. We hope that it will soon have a permanent place in our wonderful building. THE WRESTLERS Another most excellent piece of statuary in the Junior College is The lVrestlers. which was presented by the Kiwanis Club. The club appointed a committee with Mr. M. H. Catter as chairman to select an appropriate gift. The Wrestlers was selected and an order was sent to Italy for the statue, which is three feet four inches in height. It is set on a slab of white marble. twenty-five by forty inches. The statue is most admired by all who visit on the first floor. OTHER GIFTS The students are very appreciative of these and the many other gifts which have previously been acknowledged, some of which are shown in other parts of the Coyote. ,e ,UWA .

These two went to the district meet at Iowa Park, where W. J. lost in the preliminaries and Fred was beaten in the final contest by Roy McDaniels. GIRLS' DECLAMATION 19 Z5 The preliminaries in the Girls' Declamation were held in the little auditorium April 24th, 1925. So numerous were the contestants that it was necessary to divide them into several groups composed of about eight each. The two girls chosen to represent the High School at the District meet were Dorothy Reed ffirst placej and Janet Scott Csecond placej. At Iowa Park our contestants defeated those of many other towns, winning first and second places. Both gave Henry VJatterson's Star Spangled Banner, At Austin, however, we were not so fortunate, losing in the prelimi- nary contest, nevertheless with public sentiment in our favor. Dorothy was presented with two beautiful loving cups, one represent- ing the town, the other representing the county. presented by Mr. and Mrs. Bashara. EXTEMPORE SPEAKING In the local tryout for the extempore speakers for the Interscholastic League contest, Clifton Glay won first place and William Atkinson won second. At the District meet. these boys did very well. indeed. NVilliam taking first honors. Clifton retiring to third place. Vilhen Vdilliams went to Austin, he won in the preliminary but lost in the final contest. XVe feel sure if we could have had a few more boosters that he would have won. Page IZ6 , i 1 D E B A T I N G BoYs' DEBATING TEAM oil 1925 More boys came out for the 1925 debating team than had ever come Ollt before. There were six of them: lsadore Cohen. Price McCully, Com- modore Cumley, John Kerr, Robert Long. and Emmett Bauknight. The question was Resolved that lhe I'hz'lipp1'ne Islands .should have their inde- pendence at lhe end of five years. Out of the six Emmett Bauknight and Price McCully were chosen to represent our school at the district meet. with lsadore Cohen as alternative. At Iowa Park, Price and Emmett won the district title, giving them the right to meet Childress for the championship of the bi-districts, three and four. They won against Childress, and were then in line to go to Austin. The two went on the train to the State Capital. They were not lone- some. however. for traveling with them was a whole army of XVichita talent, William Atkinson, extempore speaking: Marjory XVoolsey, State debating champion of other days: Marjory Bright, girls' tennis: Dorothy Reed, girls' declamation: Oscar P. Bowers, tennis singles, and Miss Kinsey were on the train, Nevertheless, Emmett and Price were defeated in the debating preliminaries by the team which later won the championship, Miami. The debaters expressed their appreciation of the kindness shown them by Mr, and Mrs. Baldwin at Austin. GIRLS' DEBATING TEAM OF 1925 After several preliminary tryouts, which were participated in by Mar- garet Goodner, Elinor Fleming, Dorothy Skeen, Ruth Moore, Joyce Samuels, Aline Hurt, Dorothy Reed, and Vera Cane. and several miXfups due to forfeit of place, Elinor Fleming and Vera Cain were chosen as the team to represent our high school. This team went to the district meet at Iowa Park, on April 24th. and won the cup by debating teams from nine coun- ties, A week later, at Vernon. they were defeated by one vote in the bi-district contest, by the team from Memphis, and consequently did not attend the State meet.

COYOTE STAFF AFFAIRS One night during Thanksgiving Week, Mrs. Witherspoon, sponsor of the Senior Class, entertained the Coyote Staff and the class officers with a delightful party. Several amusing con- tests were held, one of which took in the names of the Coyote Staff oflicers in clever verse form. Dainty refreshments were served after an enjoyable evening had been spent. BEAUTY CONTEST The Beauty Contest this year caused more class rivalry than ever beforeg consequently the amount of money raised was unusually large. The Juniors and Seniors were the chief competitors, but the Sophomores did not forget that they had a candidate in the contest. Page 129 MID-YEAR SENIOR ACTIVITIES Th mid-year class of l926 held its first pep-meeting at the home of Esther Uhrich, l602 Twelfth Street, organization was perfected and numerous plans made for the year. The first entertainment was a I-IalloWe'en party at Elizabeth Wel- don's home. Ciames, contests. and dancing were enjoyed. An interesting program was rendered. Prizes for the best costumes were given to Miss Francis Clay, sponsor for the class, and Joe Barnhart. Friday, December 4th, Doris Bradley entertained the class at her home with an apron and overall frolic. Mrs. B. L. Fain, assisted by her brother, Joe Bailey, and Odra Lee Jenkins, Was hostess to the class in her home Friday, December 18th. Interesting features of the evening were dancing and the Christmas tree from which each guest received a gift. Elizabeth Weldon entertained the class. Friday, January 15th, with a bridge party and dance. Plans were made for a round of activities for the seniors. The entertainments and parties which the seniors enjoyed during commencement week included a sunrise breakfast at Lake Vv'ichita, and a dance at Miss Doris Bradley's home. On Wednesday night the Spring Seniors entertained the class with a wienie roast, greatly enjoyed by all those present. Thursday they enjoyed a theatre party in the afternoon at the Majestic, Where boxes were decorated for the students. Thursday night was Class Night. The members, at the home of Dorothy Mc- Cloud, enjoyed themselves. The class history was read by the sponsor, Miss Frances Clay, and the prophesy by Doris Bradley, after which each member told of his aspirations. Commencement exercises for the mid-year seniors were held in the Junior College auditorium Friday evening, January 2Zd. A banquet was held afterward at the Wichita Club. A. K. Preston gave the principal talk on 'IVisz'ons. Page 130 SENIOR ACTIVITIES On Friday evening, January 29th, the junior class of the high school entertained the seniors. The crowd gathered in the Junior Col- lege auditorium, where all were entertaind with a program of unusual merit, which was rendered by members of the junior class. Following the program, a Charleston contest was staged between Harry Costley, Lemuel Peters, Ragan Doublin, Estol Parhan and Emmett Bauknight. The audience voted in favor of Harry Costley. Jack Kadane, master of ceremonies, then invited the party back upon the stage and gymnasium floor, which was all thrown together, where refreshments were served to all. The party then adjourned to the home of Mrs. Peterson in Indian I-Ieights, where a most enjoyable evening was spent with Mrs. Peterson as our generous hostess. The most interesting side of the life of the senior class, social events, was marked by two very interesting parties. Some of the far-sighted members of the Senior class conceived the idea of having a wienie roast and thereby make more pleasant one of the beautiful nights of our Indian winter. To make more complete this eventful evening, the senior class was repaid for all of its strenuous efforts by a light snowfall! Disregard- ing health and comfort, everyone went and enjoyed-and some few paid with slight colds and the like. This party was given by the senior class for the mid-year senior class, About two months later the senior class decided that they should have a party at which all of its members could feel at home. After some discussion, they arrived at the plan of having one of the old, well-known tacky parties. Needless to say, hilarity was in vogue and everyone more than enjoyed the evening. It was quite a treat to the eye to see some of our local sheiks within a few hours transformed into rubes, and our pretty little flappers into plain countryside lasses. After the party the majority of the class retired to the home of Claude Miller and en- joyed an hour of dancing. Page 131 THE HIGH SCHGOL GIRL RESERVES HALLOWEEN PARTY Probably one of the most enjoyable affairs given by the Girls' Club was their annual Halloween party. The Junior College cafeteria was beautifully decorated with the Halloween colors and rang with the Halloween spirit continuously. At the beginning of the party, a very delightful program was enjoyed, Miss Jean Fiske, chairman of the program committee, presented Miss Elizabeth Weldon, accom- panied by Miss Dorothy McCloud. in many popular songs: Miss Dorothy McCloud. who gave several piano selections which were much appreciated: Miss Odra Lee Jenkins. who read delightfully. After the program and the good time which followed it everyone agreed that this was the greatest success the girls had ever had. The girls were honored by having with them their boy friends and Mr. and Mrs. Rider. CPHJRCPISERVTCES The Girl Reserves of Wichita Falls had charge of the services at the Eirst Christian Church Sunday evening, November 18th. About 250 girls dressed in their uniforms, marched down the aisles holding lighted candles, and singing I-'ollotu lhe Gleamf' The choir, with Vivian Ross as director and l.orene Tucker as accompanist, sang The Lord is in His Holy Temple. Wilton Wade, president of the High School and Junior College Club, led the service. Elizabeth Langford, president of the Junior High Club, led in prayer. Joline Vv'ood talked on Health, Marjorie Bright on Knowl- edge, and Evelyn Hardeman on Spirit, The audience remained seated as the girls marched out singing the Ciirl Reserve song. LUNCHEON Saturday, December 19, 1925, the Girls' Club entertained with a luncheon in the club rooms at the Y, VJ. C. A. A delightful program was presented which consisted of the following numbers: Panlomime: MARX' lVlEREDlTl-l, iVlARY SISANCRED, NlARJORIi2 BRIGHT, l,ORlfNl2 'FUCKER Violin Solo: REBECCA MEADORS. accompanied by V1v1isNNii Ross Violin Duet: MRS.

Page 1 32 HI-Y The Hi-Y Club of 1926 enjoys the distinction of being the strongest and most enthusiastic Hi-Y in the history of the school. Much of this honor is due to Louie Barrett and President Emmett Bauknight, who have worked unfailingly for the betterment of the organization. The members are given inspirational talks by local business men as well as drills in parliamentary order at each meeting. It might also be stated that the club has a very active social com-- mittee, as evidenced by the number of successful Hwienie roasts, ban- quets and socials which the membership has enjoyed. Perhaps the most notable event on the club's social calendar was a big banquet, held in the dining room of the Wichita Club. Among the guests were many former Hi-Y members who had returned for the Christmas holidays. The program, which Was a pleasure to all, included Eloyd Ard, John Colvert, A. K. Presson, S. H. Rider, Emmett Bauknight, and impromptu talks by other members of the club. The Hi-Y also boasts a distinctive initia- tion ceremony. The initiates of the club will agree that 'Athere's nothing like it. Since the initiation is a secret rite, little can be said of it, except that it is unparalleled as to fun and enjoyment. This year, through the liberality of patrons, the Hi-Y was able to send fifteen delegates to the Annual Older Boys' Conference held at the University of Texas. Every delegate returned from the conference with the feeling that he had gained some good. We look with pride on the year We traversed and with hope of further success into the future. 0 Page 133 MUSIC CLUBS The Girls' Glee Club has had one social function this year. It was a theatre party. The girls gathered in front of the Junior College build- ing and Went to the Majestic Theatre in cars. After the show was over, the girls then went to the Olympic Confectionery, where refreshments Were served them. i'The Masrerquakers of Speechz'nk, a burlesque on Mez'stez'sz'ngers of Nuremburgf' was presented to a large and appreciative audience in the assembly on December l6th, l9Z5.

Mam'zeIIe Taps is a French Anglo-American opera. The story is laid in France during the World War. The plot centers around Marie Piquet, a young French Woman. Marie becomes the bugler in the French Army. She becomes engaged to Captain Gringo. She does not love him. She has a purpose for making him believe that she does. In the unwinding of the plot, Marie proves that Captain Gringo is a spy. He is of course imprisoned and Marie marries Alonzo. This opera is the Hrst of its kind and the best ever produced by the music department.

There was a football dance given at Mr. Ed Peterson's home, Everyone spent a very enjoyable evening. The guests were served with chicken salad and hot chocolate and cake. Fruit punch was also served throughout the evening. The annual banquet honoring the football boys was given at the Wichita Club, and Was followed by a dance. Coach McCallum Was pre- sented a silver set, land Doctor Terrell with a bill fold and fountain pen. At various times the boys Went on hikes, which Was not only good for them, but also furnished a great amount of entertainment and pleasure. Page I36 X Q VW V' X7 f 5?

I ain't been a fool fer around sixty years fer nothin'. And so I kin depart to you-all some valuable and voluble infermation concernin' what the future of high school bys and gurls should and shouldn't be. You have frequentially been told by speakers in yer chapel that you had all the edicational advantages the world had to offer and that you oughter git down on yer knees and thank the people who built the magnificent buildin' that you went to school in. Nobody realizes better'n me the wonderful and expectacular generosity of the people who built that buildin' fer you-all to chunk erasers in. I realize the noble, unselfish, undefined thoughts of the bricklayers as they built the edifice. Therefore, as everbody wants you to amount to somethin', you-all oughter at least try to do same. You should have a definite goal in mind, although most of you will have uncertain gold in mind. In the first place, you oughter all wanter be somethin' worth while. None of you should wanter be a lawyer, fer instance, because they don't do nothin' but play golluf. And what good does it do anybody if you kin make 48 wholes in ten below par? The idear is to be twenty above par in honest-to-goodness, he-man accomplishments. Now, I've got several suggestions fer occupations that would be good fer you bright, intellectual high school students to aim at. One of these is the fine and noble art of bein' a blacksmith. Of course, I realize, sadly, that this here splended perfession ain't what it used to be since people went to ridin' around in horsepowerless tin car- ridges and killin' horses fer cowhideg but. just the similarity, their is a mighty fine openin' fer intellecktual, ambitious young men in the field of blacksmithery. Another perfession which I always had a hankerin' to, and which would be a splendid fer sturdy high school graduates who made or made at the football team, is cole- minin'. Down in the bosom of mother earth you could get expiration fer writin' all makes of sunny poetry. And there is rapid advancement fer the right sort. You can work up from a buck private to a ofhcer in a little of no time. Then you can call a strike any ole time you want to, and won't even half to fight. Moreover, when a ysplosion, landslide, or somethin' happens, you get yer name in the papers as one of the forty-some-odd intoomed cole-miners in Oklyhomy, or wherever it happens to be that you croak. Still another perfession which I always thought I'd like if I had my life to live over agin' would be bein' a magision, or a guy that does tricks that there cain't nobody tell how it's done. I always wanted to do that trick where he took a ten-dollar bill from behind peoples' ears. I figgered after a year or so I'd be rich enough to retire and write poetry or play the juice harp. But, boys and gurls, whatever you be, don't ferget the ole Kernel. Remember him as the old bean that always had yer best intrists at heart. And if you are ever around where I am, in South Africky or Burk Burnett, look me up and interduce me to the wife, and I'll have my grand-daughter cook you some ham sandwitches, corn beef and cabbage, fruit salad, or whatever it is yer wife likes. 140 JOKES Hunkey Ray: This door won't close, Mrs. Witherspoon.

Remember this--we liked you all. Speaking of teachers, whom we all have had In Wichita High School, for good or bad, lt beseems us to mention, with rollicking glee, Just how they have looked to you and to me. First comes Mr. Rider, of the light curly hair, Whose head never looks as if the comb had been there. And then Mr. Presson. so genial and gay, Would like to have time to match nickels all day. Slim little Miss Corder, of the office force too, Tells jokes all the time-:he has nothing to do. Miss Hendrick comes next, the vivacious one, ln whose English classes we have lots of fun. Miss Clay is so little, that quite as a rule It's thought she's a fish from the Junior High School. That old Mr. Presson of three-thirty-three Should be pensioned 'fore long, I'n1 sure you'll agree, Next comes Mr. Hood, of geometric fame, Who never Hunks students in his own little game, Miss Zihlman, whose Spanish words crackle and fizz. Positively never gave a difficult quiz. Miss Underwood and sister, Miss Underwood, too, 'Bout history and math don't know what to do. Mr. Adams, of college. really ought to be named Cyrano de Bergerac, a character famed, And then theres C. Brown, of the old physics class: It would take a real earthquake to make him move fast, Here's to Mrs. Witherspoon, our sponsor this year. And her own little Fifi: the pup's really a dear. Miss Jobe doesn't think yet-ashes librarian- That two live more cheaply than only one can. Mr. Moseley, our songbird, and the lndian's guide, ls now a sky pilot, shy, grave. dignified. One thing we can't see the wherefore or why They keep Mr. Edwards 'round Wichita High. Miss Alvis, musician, a deep secret has. If you'll keep it, we'll tell you-she dearly loves jazz! Our Miss Kinsey, when speaking, mumbles each little line, And she rolls her brown eyes in a manner divine, Mr. Frazee comes last, the poor timid thing? All he can do is a dainty handspring. Thafs all there is room for, and it's not our of place, To say this was wrilten just to take up some space. IRA L.

And when we have traveled lifes various lanes. And the sun for us all does not shine the same: .lust let us get out our dear old book And laugh once again at how we did look. v that it Page 148 On Telling High School Students by Their Looks One day as I sat watching folks go by, Four diffrent students from Wichita High Came past in front of me, one at a time, With individual dress and thoughts sublime. Phe first who thus did pass looked young in years: He seemed quite filled with hopes and shy with fearsg He had an unsophisticated air, And walked as if Without a care: He wore his clothes so carelessly, I thought He was a little Freshman freshly caught. Another student passed along by me: I studied him to see what he might be: His clothes he wore in dressy manner fine, Although his slouchy walk was not refined. And judging as I'd done the other one before, I did conclude he was a Sophomore. And still a third did walk serenely past. He seemed a little older than the last, In manner somewhat bold, almost correct, But not the finished student we'd expect A boy who was about to graduate, So him in rank I did a Junior rate. And then a fourth came by within my sight: He seemed to be the kind that's always right. His haughty air and studious look proclaimed That he might be renowned and even famed For glories, such as Seniors oft have won: Therefore I judged he was the highest one. So when these four on whom I'd made a guess Had gone and left me pond'ring my success, A man, acquainted with the boys, I hailed To ask if my attempts to judge had failed. I gave him a description of the four, And told him how I'd guessed the rank each bore. He laughed at my crude guesses and declared: Your eye-sight surely ought to be repaired: Your faulty judgment too must better grow: Because the first of whom you sought to know His high school station by his outward looks, Is not a Freshman, but is Senior Brooks. The second whom you thought a Sophomore Is nothing but a Freshman to the core. And then the one you have a Junior made Still spends his time down in the seventh grade. And of the last I have but little knowledge, Although I'm sure he goes to Junior College.

Gay: Why, it was written by Burns and he was in a country churchyard. Miss H.: Excellent! Did you workout that answer all by yourself?

Miss H. tells him what a smart student she has in her class.3 Mr. Rider: That indeed was a brilliant answer. I will speak to the Board of Education about making you a teacher. Just then the bell rings and the students leave the room throwing chalk at Miss Hendrick, who throws some back at them. 150 KCURTAINQ RADIO A radio is the hero of this story. lf you don't like radio, turn on to the next topic and be glad this isn't a lecture. Well, Weston Arling was a senior in high school, and a radio fan as well. Regardless of other failings or achievements, Weston was a radio fan of the first water. That means he spent school nights fafter his school work was fully prepared, of course, Reginaldj listening in, He really had a good set, for he had been able several times to listen to detective stories broadcast from Los Angeles. So this is how he spent his nights when he was not taking his girl to a show or something. fYes, Reginald, he had a girl.j Her name was Hellene Dupe, and she was a very pretty, sweet, and sensible girl, who took a great deal of interest and an active part in school life and activities. She was not merely a female of the species homo sapiens, like a house, as lots of other girls are. CYes, Reginald, like a house-painted in front, shingled in the back, and empty in the atticj lt was well on in April, and nearing time for the much heralded senior party. Naturally, he was going to take Hellene. He had not asked her for a date yet, but he knew she would hold it for him until the last minute. He had the necessary five dollars saved up, for it was to be a splendid banquet at two dollars a plate, and then the party was to adjourn to the ball-room for a formal dance. lt was to be a very magnificent affair, and was to be held at the Dalworf, one of the finest hotels in the city. However, one Wednesday night, before the Thursday evening of the party, while Weston was listening in, suddenly there came a pop, pop, pop-then a brilliant flash-and then silence. Now to everyone who has experimented at all with radio, this means but one thing, and that is a burned out tube. And tubes cost five dollarsl Weston was terribly despondent for a while, because he had just bought that tube recently and he did not have money enough to buy another tube and go to the party too. He didn't know what to do, and thought it all over Thurs- day at school, carefully avoiding Hellene. He reached his decision Thurs- day afternoon, though, and after school, went by a radio store and bought a new tube. That night Weston listened to a detective story, read from Los Angeles, instead of taking Hellene to the party. He was un- happy whenever he thought of her, because he knew that Bob Gwynn would probably take her, and he disliked Bob intensely. Bob was a cheat and a mollycoddle, and the funny part was, very few people knew the fact. He had most everybody pretty well fooled. The story was unusually interesting that night: all about the clever unraveling of some plot by a detective. Weston had told his pal, Frank Bolton, about his decision, and Frank had promptly, cheerfully, and calmly informed him that he was a fool to stay at home with a radio when he could be taking Hellene to the party. But Weston saw it dif- ferently. That was only one night and then his money would be goneg the way it was he could gain enjoyment from it for weeks to come. Page 152 The neXt day at school Hellene was very cool-so very cool, in fact, as to make Weston wonder. He tried to speak to her but she hurried on, pretending not to see him. When school was out, he stood around the corner from her locker and stopped her when she started home, asking for an explanation. She very coldly informed him that if he chose to speak of her as he did, she did not choose to call him a friend, He was utterly dumfounded and asked her what she meant. Shehesitatedg then in a flood of words it all came out: how someone had told her the night of the party that he had spoken sneeringly of her and had said that she might go to the dickens. No, she wouldn't tell him who told her-she couldn't: but she wouldn't have thought him so mean, etc., etc., until she whirled aside and walked off. Weston had never been so amazed or so hurt, so surprised or so angry in his life. lt was a lie, of course, but she believed it: how was he disprove it? All at once he started, frowned, and then a faint shadow of a a smile touched his face for a moment. Then he walked rapidly aw-ay, apparently in deep thought. That night Prank came over. He had heard about it and sympathized with Weston, but said he could see no way to help matters. Weston seemed preoccupied, so Frank left before long. The next day was Saturday and Frank was busy all day. No, she didn't know what he was doing, his mother had said in answer to Prank's inquiries. Sunday, Weston went to Sunday school and church as usual. Monday morning, in the gymnasium, there was one of the biggest fights ever seen in the school. Weston, bruised and bleeding, was stand- ing, and Bob Gwynn was lying in a daze on the floor, when the instruc- tor came in to stop the commotion. He believed in letting boys settle their own disputes, so seeing all was over, he returned to his office with- out saying a word. That afternoon, after school, Weston again stopped Hellene, and behind him stood Bob Gwynn, with a black eye and numerous cuts and bruises. Hellene, said Weston, Bob has something to tell you. Hellene turned toward Bob, who, looking very downcast and miser- able, stammered out an apology to her for the lie he had told her about Weston. Then he hurriedly left. Helene turned and looked at Weston-looked at him, that was all. But that was enough, for in her eyes she asked forgiveness, and in his he granted it. As they walked out, arm in arm, Frank rushed up, and pounding Weston on the back, demanded to know how he had found out who told her. Weston laughed happily as he said: Can't tell you, Frank, old boy, but l found out. I learned how that night I stayed home from the party and listened to that detective story. Remember? The man in the story did the same thing. lsn't this worth five dollars? And he and Hellene strolled off together. KNO. Reginald, they did not Iiue happily ever after-Ihey were mar- ried ten years Iater.j I, L. C. Page 154 ' 1 w WISE CRACKS FROM THE STAGE I am very sorry, but we will have to make a few adjustments.

THEY SAY That a grouchy person is a misery to himself as well as to his classmates. That it pays to keep in a good humor, especially when you get below passing. That while Ira never seems to know where he is going, he is always in a hurry. That the only way to find funny jokes in the Annual is to contribute funny ones yourself. That if you don't graduate this May you may do so next January. That some people will fuss at anything, even the teachers, when the teachers are not present. That some people are good sports: they can find much pleasure in those things they do not do themselves. 5 l 7 iw! Y I ff, F- H. 7 1 ,?' if W 9 3 BELOVED TEACHERS---WI-IQ? 'Teacher Cspeaking very rapidly and nervously twisting a pencil be- tween the fingersj: Let's begin the lesson where we were yesterday and try to finish the assignment today. It does seem that we never do quite cover all the lesson. I will try to give you a twenty minute study period today, too. I know I have run over time every day, but the bell always rings before we've hardly started. I really get to tell you such a small part of all I know. However, I'rn not going to do any of the talking today. I'm going to let you students give the whole recitation. I-Iow many of you read the hundred pages of outside reading I suggested? Now, I can't understand that. Vifhen I was in school, I always read every book assigned, and carefully outlined every word I read. I'll tell you a secret: outlining all you read will make you a perfect student. Now I always made the highest grades when I was in school: nothing ever below ninety. I expect every one of my students to do as well as that. Remember that your grades are not made on tests alone. Your general conduct as a student every day, and attention to all that is said, as well as recitation, determine your final standing. Of course I don't believe in final exams. I can tell without that how much you know. If you look intelligent while I talk, I will give you a good grade, Before we really begin this recitation, I must show you some postcards that I brought from Europe. Now some of these cards are so interesting that I must show them. In Europe, you know tk X 'lf CSuddenly a bell ringsj. Was that the bell? And I did do most of the talking, didn't I?

Pk ak if There is one teacher whom everyone remembers after having been under her guiding hand, literally or physically. She is prim and precise and must have the exact word for the correct place. In case she cannot think of the word at the right time, this ultra-correct teacher seemingly gropes about the room, scours the walls and blackboard with her eyes until she has the whole class on a word hunt with her. This teacher might be called a human radiator in that she radiates all her emotions: joy, vigor, enthusiasm, and she sometimes makes the room warm with heated words.

Her assistants are Dorothy Fletcher and Thelma Fisher. Orville Bobo and Oscar Bledsoe have re- ceived distinction as bull-fighters in Electra. Edna Claer, Hazel Cham- berlain, and Elizabeth Carter have an inn at the North Pole, which was discovered by Steve Ford and W. J. Howard. Frank Bundy and Don Cameron are head mechanics at the Inn Aeroplane Garage. 'ilt seems that there are quite a few inventors in the class. Ira Cain invented a safety catch for a straight pin: J. L. Keller, a staticless radio: Mary Moore, Mattie McCausland, and Ruth McCarty have spent many years trying to invent something to keep foods from boiling over: Merle Abrams, Anna Lee Banowsky, and Bonnie Birdwell, a blotless ink: while John Hugh Donaldson has discovered what electricity is. Paul Sona- maker has proven a public benefactor by establishing in all the schools a sleeping machine-a device which enables the pupil to sleep in class but to instantly give a correct reply to the teacher when he is called upon. Katherine Marcus with J. R. Martin as her assistant maintains a Marriage Bureau. Asbury Parks is golf instructor at the Country Club. Frank Rugeley and Morine Clark are doctors.

Gladys O'Neill vamped Roy Reeder, while Dorothy Shamburger, after trying for years to catch Floyd Ard, when she suc- ceeded, jilted him for Fred Couper. This is all the matrimonial news at present. There is no divorce news. It seems that most of the class preferred a career to marriage. Now Mary McDonald-- I opened my eyes. Someone was shaking me. I sat up and gazed around. It was all a dream! And I had been awakened just as l was about to learn of my own future! Still, my curiosity had been satisfied concerning the rest of the class. MARY ISABEL MCDONALD.

BASKETBALL Basketball grew out of the old Norwegian folk game, One, two, buckle my shoe---, lt was introduced into the curriculum of our better schools with the growth of big business. Efficiency demands an accuracy of aim and oneness of purpose. Basketball is played with a round ball filled with a specially prepared air that, when blow into the ball, gives you the same consistency as when you are hit on the head with a billy. The game itself is played between ten men and two baskets. The baskets hang on the wall and the men lie on the Hoot. To start the game, the ball is tossed into the air between two centers who jump for it, each doing his best to tag it first. The one who taps the most gently is called a sweet boy, and the other man's side gets two points. The object of the game is to toss the ball through one of the baskets. The result is that the ball is tossed into the laps of almost all the spectators who line the sides of the court, as a basketball field is called a court. Basketball used to be played mostly by girls, but it was given up by them as too effeminate and tame. A game is considered ended when the cohorts of the opposing teams get together outside the gymnasium and have a free-for-all fight. This is what is known as sportsmanship and is very popular among the younger set. MY SWEETHEART SUE I have a beautiful sweetheart, But she is fur from me: And when I'll see my sweetheart I know not when 'twill be. We parted many years ago The cause I never knewg But a guy by the name of .Ioe Ran off with my sweetheart Sue. Now I'm goin' to make it hot for Joe When I find my sweetheart Sue, The girl I left many years ago, f The cause I never knew. --P. H. 1 Y 1 1 , 1 1 N I Q Page FRCM OUR TEST PAPERS Concentration is when a man concentrates on one thing so he can do it good. ln the hunting stage, the people were war-like, and many times ate each other when in need of food. This probably led to cannibalism later on. ln the handicraft stage, people began not only to find, tame, and raise their food, but also to make it. Tautology is the direct reputation of thought. Morine Clark translated 'ipax in bellol' as freedom from indigestionf' ln answer to the question, 'AWhat is Mars? this was found: i'lVlars is the scratches you get on the furniture. Great Britain has a monopoly on rubber. If this condition is not remedied, the United States will have to go to the rocks to secure rubber. A sentence is a group of words geographically united. Antony made a speech at his funeral. He received a good education, but was very poor after he married. The President has a cabinet in order that he may keep his china in it. Then money crept into sight. They did DOI roam around hunting for animals but raised them on their own doorstep. A monopoly is when a big fellow sees that the little fellow can't make anything on the same thing that the big fellow makes a big thing. From this part of Julius Caesar, the act slowly reclines, Consumption is when every human is getting what he needs and wants. Social Science is a science for the good of the welfare of all. Example of child legislation: Children are forced to go to school for a maximum time. We must have farmers because if we don't the world can't go. Two of Burns' best poems are Tom Chcmly and The Squalters' Saturday Night. Poverty is partly a state of mind, caused at times by a friend's new dress.

To make high grades was then my aim: And oh, how l did use to worry: I always was at school on time, But now I never even hurry.

I WONDER Miss Hendrick may say this is not art And not a word of it students is true: But by such a poem all great poets got a start, So I am waiting critics for an opinion from you. This morning when tardy to school I came And found to the oflice I must amble, I knew I would plead my case in vain Since on Dean Rider's sympathy I rnust gamble. Dean Rider who you all do know Surprised me greatly, when I looked into his eyes As I told him my tale of woe, When I found he'd succumbed to my lies: UI woke to look upon a ghastly face. Its silent stillness, white and clammy cold Showed up an awful horror in that place, The half of which has never yet been told, HMy waking thoughts and dreams had been of one Who now to sleep it seemed had dropped: 'Twas hard for me to realize, kind ones, My pride and joy, my dollar watch, had stopped. So now the hands of time no more for me will go, Until I fain would spend some hard earned dough. Thus as my story and my pleading ended Dean Rider calmly said 'iOn to your class you may gof So now to Miss Hendrick this poem is all bosh And she will say Not a word of this students is true But say fellow students and class critics, by gosh, I'm waiting for an opinion from you. -H-DAVID HANNA. .JL . 451'fiCl31.,Q,g7v1g, QQ-11 0 T E jiiifiiiiiiQQQii1iI?iM1 J. vxl, ,-ml i ' , A , 1 1 3 1 ' ' N ll!

We hope that you have enjoyed this volume of THE COYOTE, and will continue to do so throughout the coming years. But if you have been disappointed, remember that it is no easy task to edit a school annual. Forgive and forget the bad, re- member only the good. For all assistance rendered it is only fitting that we indicate our appreciation. Gur indebtedness to Mrs. A. H. Carrigan, Miss Kate Haynes, and Lalla Rookh Boone is very great. Without their assistance and Miss Boonels 'llistory of Wichita Falls Schools the theme could not have been possible. The staff of Southwestern Engraving Company has been instrumental in the general planning of the book and in carrying out the theme in the art work. The artistic workmanship of the Bunker Printing Company has enhanced the value of the book. From Bartlett's, Nash's and other studios of the city, the Wichita Daily Times, and the Record News the photographs and scenes were secured. We wish to express our appreciation also the Wichita Daily Times, the Record News, and the Vvlichitan for the publicity which they have so kindly given us. The teachers and pupils who have helped we desire to thank.
