From it smolze pours Slowly, Lazily, Unceasingly. Fit midday It is wafted over the tennis court, Thin yellow-brown, malzing Fantastic shadows On the glaring white cement. Fit duslz, Thiclz and blaclz, It silhouettes a winding path Flgainst the evening shy, Hbove navy blue hills, Beneath a silver ice star. Ht grey dawn ln the rain It wanders away, H vagrant, Rnd mingles with the mist over the mountains. -Flnn Oakes PQETRY THE HYISLUER l thinlz your answer is here To bury in the constant snow OF yesterday: not the flaming cross nor the tranquil glow wedded to the night But this: chaste peace Hnd darlz finality: lndistinct beauty Rnd .the quiet solidity Of virgin stone Betrothed to the earth. l thinlz your answer is here To bury in the indifferent bosom OF the earth. -John Ed williams

The COYOTE staff has worlzed long and persistently during the past year to maize this annual a success. Each member has aided in his way to malze this COYOTE the boolz that it is. Sponsors, editor, business manager, and other students having a part in this worlz must all be given credit. First, the sponsors must be complimented for their end- less patience and energy in instructing and supervising all worlz of staff members. There is no way to count the many number ol times miss Ida Jane Collins made trips to the photographer, to the post otfice, or to the express station. neither can one judge the number ol times miss Lois mcGaughy was almost ready to give up the problem of finding attractive layouts For all the pages, nor how many hours of sleep mr. Orren T. Freeman lost from worrying about the Financial situation. without the experience and judgment of these three sponsors, the 1939 COYOTE would be little less than a few sheets of copy paper. The editor and most ol the staff heads were chosen by a committee of the sponsors and 1939 staff members and presented on assembly, may 11, 1938, the day of the First appearance ol the 1938 COYOTE. The art editor and a Few other members were chosen in the lall of 1938. Billie Lou Hallmarlz was chosen as editor because of worlz as junior representative on the '38 annual. This worlfz also caused her to be awarded membership to the lnter- national Honor Society of High School Journalists, Quill and Scroll, in her junior year-an honor because the society is traditionally open only to seniors. The choice ol a person lor the title of business manager was quite a problem. Landon Cullum was Finally chosen on merit of a Fine scholastic record.'Even with a handicap of laclz of experience, Landon proved himself one ofthe Finest and most energetic business managers a COYOTE ever had. Lee Carter was selected as Landon's assistant and was a most capable one indeed. l
