Class Poet '15; 'T'reasurer Literary - 4 Society Sprint: Term 'Ili-"Pike" "Chunky." 1 ~ "Pike" has been with us for eleven 1 years and has always been noted for -ix his bit; ideas. Although not so large t in dimensions its the rest of us, he is continuing to improve his physical appearance. His "wit" is without end and if once started, it. remains quite a task to quench. When he leaves this school as a graduate, we wish him the very best luck all thru life. FLORINE BATTE Basket Ball Association '16 "Baby Doll," "Fenie." While we handle our "Baby Doll" with the utmost care to keep her from breaking, she is the kind who goes to make up the back-bone of our class. She is ever found with that becoming smile on her countenance, and always a kind word for every one. She loves her books, and her ambition, wit'.i that everlasting de- termination, keeps her in the front rank of her class. Last, but not least, "Baby Dull" is our song bird. r. * A ROBERT LEE CARSON "Kit," "Steeple Jack." "Kit" claims to be a decendant of the old "Kit Carson" of the plains, but we doubt this very much as the only authority we have is his own word, neverthe- less, he possesses great fame as a re- sult of his own bravery. In his junior ,year, "flit" displayed his class patri- otism by climbing the school belfry at 2:30 a. m. on a cold winter night and hoisting his class colors. For this we bestowed upon him the title of "Steele Jack." Thinking more seriously, he is a good mathemati- cian, and hopes to be the engineer who shall reconstruct Germany. PA(:]:: 1-nt'RT1:HN a F1 A/ CHARLES MASON COLE. "Cole y," "Crum," "Rube." Foot- ball 14-15; Vice-president of the Literary Society second term '15. "This is "Coley's" eleventh year / with us and to him belongs the honor of Leing one of the faithful number who has never fallen behind. He is forever brimming over with fun and ' his merry laugh is one of his greatest fault- As he goes from us, we will forever 1-.onor his name as a true friend.

Basket-ball '14, '15, '16.- "Orie." "Orie" came to us from a small school near here and joined this class of '16 in the seventh grade. She not / only won the friendship of all but al _o maintained it. "Ora's" principal L~ occupation is studying German-why no one knows. She says her high- est ambition is to be a teacher and no doubt some day Ora will rank among the great teachers of our / state. / JESSE MARION COOK. "Gus" "Slim."-Sergeant-at-Arms Literary Society, 3rd term. Football '15; Captain Basket-ball '16; Editor- in-Chief of The "Corral" "Gus" came to us first as a stran- ger but after we knew him he imme- diately became one of our friends. He is faithful to his class in school. He is a heart smasher and when j ladies are mentioned everyone has to stop and let "Gus" have the floor. l A welcome is always extended to Jess from B. H. S.

ETHEL LEE EVANS. Vice-president of the Senior Class; j Basket Ball '14.-"Mut," "Jakey," 'j "Etchie." One of "Etchie's" chief expressions is "Oh, gwan woman." "Etchie" is very smart in her school work but is not very fond of geometry. Do- mestic Science is her specialty and Miss Robbie will heartily recommend her as an excellent cook. One of her favorite occupations is playing the j piano. She has been with us eleven je, long years on this hard road to knowledge and has indeed proven to be a faithful traveler. LILLIAN BESS HANEMAN. "Daughter."-Class Historian '16. Stand aside fellows, here comes "Daughter" from the Brazos Bottom. She is medium height, plump or cor- pulent, as she calls it. She is ad- mired very much by the opposite sex, especially by College chemists. This shows what a good entertainer she must be. In everything you propose "Daugh- ter" is ready to carry out, has more "pep" than the whole class, and her fun never stops. This year she is the historian of our class. Next year she hopes to enter the University, and after four years of hard work, to set- tle down in the Brazos bottom with a cat and dog. x * x EDNA LETA HARRIS. "Ednah."-Edna entered the Bry- an High School in September 1913. During her high school course, her teachers and class mates have con- sidered her one of the brightest pu- pils in our class. Her quiet and un- assuming disposition, her strict at- tention to duty have won for her the love and respect of all her class- mates. Her highest ambition is to be a success at something. PAGX SEVENTEEN VELMA HENSARLING. "Kitten," "Veo. -"Veb" gradua- ted from Steep Hollow with the class of '15, and entered the Senior class of Bryan High School in September 1915. She is one of those "dear country lassies" who is always doing something and whom everybody loves. Though she is always smiling, she seldom speaks unless she has something to say. Her most promi- nent characteristic is reciting his- tory topics precisely as they are writ- ten in the text. JOHN CHARLES HYLAND Treasurer of Literary Society, Fall Term; President, Winter Term; Win- ner of first. U. D. C. 1ledal.-",Jack." "Jack" came to us this year from Austin High School. He takes es- pecial delight in playing Basket-ball, solving geometry and answering dif- ficult questions, being at all times the equal of an information bureau. His distinctions lie in exactness, knowledge, business-like qualities, sound reasoning and wisdom. If his highest ambition-to become a law- yer-is realized, "Jack's" success will be certain and he will become a mon- ument of praise to us. 1 11: :j: ARDELLA REBECCA JONES. Basket-ball '16. - Ardella-"Sis- ter." Yes this is "Sister." Rather good looking isn't she? We will have to say something about her, for she, like John Alden, will not speak for her- self. Although she has been here but one year, she has made a name and a place for herself. She ranks high in scholarship and the esteem of her class. `There's a reason." "Here's to the girl with a laugh and a smile, Who makes this bubble of life worth while." PAGE F;IGITTI?NN L E NOW11011MIM 7 @r PAGE NINETFF.N ROBERT ALEXANDER HARRIS. "Bob," "Mayer," "Alex."-Vice- president of the Literary Society '15; President of Senior Class '16. "Bob" is one of the few who have been reared with our class. He is faithful to its support and always ready to lend a helping hand. "Heart- breaker" is another nickname and he is "bugs" about all girls. The world will soon hear from him. RICHARD HENRY HARRISON. Football '12, '13, '14, manager '15; Basket-ball '14, '15, '16.-"Chicken." "Chicken's" favorite pastimes are studying, playing basket-ball, "Dog- ing" and jabbering. He is noted for courting, skilled in athletics and talk- ativeness, and knowledge of Latin(?) Henry is gifted in medicine and this talent, if advanced with his splendid work, will develop him into one of our greatest doctors. ARNO AUGUSTUS HENDEl2SON. "Biscuits." "Biscuits" as an exile from Center- ville, Texas, (wherever that is), came to Bryan and was captured by the Bryan High School. His favorite oc- cupation is to stand in ti-.e alcove and wave at the Sophomore girls as they come from domestic science. Ile loves to look at the girls but his heart will not permit him to talk to them. His plans are great and his am- bition is greater; so we tiink that he will make a great success in life. TILMAN MARION MOORE. "Til."-Baseball '16. "Til." came from Harris School House to Bryan High School. He entered the Sophomore class with us and has always been one of the lead- ers in his class work. He is greatly admired by the girls, and we think would make a big hit with them if he would only catch the hint. His great pleasure is reading Virgil. Highest ambitions are to finish at Bryan High School; go to the Uni- versity of Texas; and become a teach- er. a: FRANCES ROSE MIKE. Basket-ball '14, '15, '16; Society Editor of Corral '16; President of the Literary Society Spring Term. "Mikey," "Rose." "Mikey" entered B. H. S. in the primary department with many of the members of the present Senior class. All through the advancing steps, we found her to be a true loyal friend and classmate. She has a sunny disposition and always brings merriment into every undertaking. On account of the glowing color of her hair, she has been properly called "the straw-berry blond." "Mikey's" favorite pastimes are playing the pia- no and telling jokes. DEAN JEWELL OSBURN. Business manager of the Corral; Football, '11, '12, '13, '14, '15, Base- ball '15; Capt. Football '14, Base-ball '15; Track '12. "Osy," "Jew." Osburn entered the seventh grade of B. H. S. '11 from Wichita, Kansas, and has been with us up to the pres- ent time. He adores the ladies but has not the heart to let them know about it. He is especially fond of working Trig. when he can get a cer- tain classmate as partner. Osburn has a splendid liking for debating in spite of the fact that it generally causes a nervous break- down. Possessing a business ability, he was unanimously elected business manager of The Corral. PACE TWENTV s NOAH LOUIS McCULLOUGH. "Mac."-Football '11,'12, '15. Ath- letic Editor of the Corral. Louis has been with us during all of our High School career with the / exception of two years. Ile was so popular with the ladies that we think / he left us for their benefit as well as his own. "Mac" has dabbled in everything from athletics to love, but has had the greatest success with athletics. He has a rare literary / ability and when an athletic editor was needed, everybody recognized him as the man for the place. MYRTLE HELEN McCULLOUGH. Basket-ball '13, '14; Class Artist, '14, '15; Staff Artist, '16.-"Turtle." / "Turtle" is one of the seven who have labored eleven years for her diploma. She is a loyal member and a talented student. It is through her talent that parts of this annual make you laugh. Myrtle dotes on Erans- lating Virgil, writing compositions ~ and painting. The last is her great- t bi i I es am t on. n the future, if any of us chance to go abroad, we will look for her pictures in the °arisian art galleries. i PACT: TNRFNTP-ONE BERNADINE McKNIGHT. "Bern." In 1914, Bernadine entered Bryan High School, but only for that year; going to B. B. A. the next however, for reasons unknown, she returned to take up Domestic Science with us this year. "Bern's" greatest occu- pation is trying to cook; her greatest %/'%////NIE RUTH PONDER. "Ponder." "Ponder's" good looks, grace and sunny disposition have always made her a favorite with hot i sex. She is one of those mortals born to lead- not serve. Ruth's most prominent characteristic is giggling, and of course friends and admirers always flock around one with such an agree- able disposition. "Ponder" is a star in the Domestic Science class, and her highest am- bition is to put her knowledge to practice in a secluded bungalow. Things now seem very favorable for her. FLOY SMITH. "Flo." "Flo" entered the B. H. S. in the session of '13214. She hails from the A. & M. College, Viat center of attraction for so many B. H. S. girls. Floy is kindly disposed to all but affectionate to one. Who this indi- vidual is we have never been able to find out. Her greatest ambition was to become a lawyer-but for some reason or another she changed her mind and is now taking a course in domestic science-We wonder why? HERMIA EDELWEISS THOMSEN. "Edel."-Basket-ball '13, '14, '15. "Edel" hasn't been with us but a few years, but she has been a valued member this s'.iort while. "Edel" was one of the stars on the Basket-bali team in her Junior year. Everyone t':inks a great deal of her as she is very amiable in her ways. She finds especial delight in sporting A. & M. class pins and an A. & irT. L'en- ior ring. We are sure she will make a happy home for some cadet in the future. 11MM %%%i/',Cq; TWRNTV-T%V0 ~11/111~ SARAH EDNA WICKES. "Ed," "Bugs." Basket-ball '13, 'i4; President of Class '15; Literary Editor of The j Corral '16. Ed" became a member of our class in '09. She has stayed with us and made a good record. Everyone likes to have her around for s:ie Is so jolly. She takes the lead when anything concerning school or fun is j to be done. Her chief occupation is j having a good time; her highest am- !j bition "to make good." It has been raid of her: "She's mighty good looking, And an expert at cooking. WILLIAM PASCHAL WITHERS. "Pat," "Bill."-Football '15• Bas- ket-ball '16. "Pat" is one of the "faithful seven" ; who have taken the complete course of eleven years at the high school in eleven years. He has always been very popular in school affairs, espec- ially in devilment. The girls are all crazy about him-that is when he has a pocket full of chewing gum. i "Pat" is a very industrious young j man and his out of school hours are engaged in some kind or work. Pressing his clothes and shining his hoes are almost two daily habits with Bill. "Pat's" highest amnition is to be a locomotive engineer, and i he expects some day to hold Vie ; throttle of the "Sunshine Special." i 4MELIA WITTMAN. Secretary of Literary Society, Win- ter Term '16.-"Baby," "Shorty," Jeff.,, One of Shorty's favorite express- ions is "I am a philosopher." She i spends most of her time getting into mischief and when called upon to give the contents of a geome- try lesson, she always does it with the greatest of silence. " There is no0ing little about "Baby" except her size. She is as good and i true as they make them, and if she has any faults it is due to associa- tion with "Daughter." "Baby's- happy-go-lucky ways have won her many friends, and we are all sure that she will make a success of every- thing she undertakes. 4 0111 0 PAGE TwF NTTI-_T11RFF; STELLA EDITH WOODWARD. . Aggie." "Aggie" has been here but one year, yet she has made a place ana a name for herself. She ranks high in scholarship and the esteem of the class. She is always in for a joke and a laugh. Stella has had the honor of graduating twice-once from a three year high school and from the B. H. S. GERTRUDE YEAGER. Basket-ball '14, '15; Historian '15; j~ Class Prophet '16. ~j "Gertrude." Gertrude came as a stranger to us from Plano a year before we en- tered high school; but soon she was no longer a stranger, but one of us- a friend and a companion. She is known as one of the best pupils which this class possesses. The high es ~j teem in which she is held is proved by V the many honors which have been bestowed upon her. One of her chief / characteristics is saying "yea" for yes. /Ex" J. LEWIS REESE, JR. He is only twenty months old but has a history just the same. A fresh- man in the class of life's experiences but a senior in activity. The varied experiences of high school days are yet to be his. He is cheerful and good-natured and seems to take life easy. Judging from the effort he makes in talking, he will be an ex- cellent conversationalist; and if his curiosity doesn't cease, his acquisition of knowledge will be great. Some day, perhaps, he will be a senior as great as any of these. PAGr, TWENTY-FOUR e, i. tvv Cc sh yo wil aft Y \ A Class Prophecy As the school session of 1916 passes away, and the date of the second of June, so will a change pass over the lives of thirty-two members of the Senior class. Behold, ten years will bring the change. Leslie Ballard, the short and witty boy of our class, will attend A. and M. Col- lege for four years, there taking a course in Electrical Engineering. After getting his degree, he will go to the Phillipines, in the service of Uncle Sam and there he will install a new telephone system called the "A. L. B. Electrical Line." After living there several years he will become so attached to that country that he will come back to Bryan and get his bride, and return to the Island for the rest of his life. Florine Batte, the one girl of her class who is already so well known as one of the best soloists of her age, will make voice a special study. She will study at Kid- Key College and after finishing that course will become one of the greatest singers Bryan has ever produced. She will go to Paris, and sing on the stage for several years; and finally a German count will come along and after a few weeks courtship will take her off the stage to sing in his home and to live happily with him. Jess Cook, better known to his classmates as "Gus" and as the one great de- baters in school, as is perfectly natural, will go to Austin to study law. After com- pleting a four years course, he will come back to Bryan to practice. He will be ad- mitted to the bar in 1921 and henceforth will become a prominent lawyer, and in 1925 will be elected County Attorney. Bryan will always be his home. Ora Conway, the good and patient pupil of her class, will go to school at Hunts- ville. When her work there is over, she will come back to Bryan and apply for as- sistant teacher at the Millican school. Her first application will be rejected but after a second trial she will be accepted, and for years to come the best teacher in the Millican school will be Miss Ora Conway. Charlie Cole, after finishing school will not go off to college but will work in the automobile repair shop here in Bryan. After several years practice in this he will buy out a dealer in second-hand automobiles and for the rest of his life he will be a dealer in second-hand Fords. Ferne Dansby, whose ambition was to go ahead of her class will go to school at the University four years, and altho she has been admiring the Bryan boys for the last few years, she will meet a young lawyer while at school and fall in love with him. After they finish school and he becomes a prominent lawyer in New Orleans they will get married and happy will be their lives forever after. George Davidson, the widely known star of the high school baseball team, will be a professional player. After finishing high school he will go to A. and M. and become a star on the Farmer's team. When his four years there are up he will go to Chicago and join the American League. From then on he will make his home in Chicago and will play on the Chicago team. Ethel Evans, known to most of her school friends as "Jakey", will first teach two years at Steep Hollow after she finishes high school, then she will go to the Conservatory at Boston and study music five years. After she has finished there she will teach music at a private studio in Dallas; but this will not last long, for a young business man will learn the first lesson (which is to love the teacher,) and will take her into his home to teach him? Happy will be their lives. Lillian Hanneman, the girl with the most audacity and who always has her way, after finishing high school will attend C. I. A. for three years. When she finishes ~ 1:9 16 PAGE TU'F,NTY-F1VF, CRH&~) there, she will come back to Bryan and live with her mother for about five years. After her fiance, who loved her from childhood and who was her classmate in school has finished his E. E. course at A. and M., and has made himself famous in the Phillippines, they will be married and live the rest of t1wir lives on the Island. Hettie Edge, the little girl whose winning smiles and curly hair have made her a favorite with the mathematics teacher, the school boys and the Academy boys, will go to Galveston and become a nunn because she will have too many lovers to decide which one she likes best. After she has studied in the convent several years, she will come back to her home town and be a teacher at the Villa Maria Academy and very frequently she will be seen going around among the little school children speak- ing kind words and doing good deeds. Henry Harrison, better known as "Chicken," altho he delights in working with "Fords" now will attend A. and M. to take a course in Chemical Engineering. When his four years are up he will go to Vanderbilt University in Tennessee. After com- pleting the medical course, he will go to Philadelphia and join the "Doctor's Frater- nity." As a member of this, he will practice and then the little boy who was once known as "Chicken" will be known as R. H. Harrison. M. D. Edna Harris, the nice, quiet, modest little girl who observed the rule "The children should be seen and not heard," will not desire any college education, but will live at a pretty country home near Bryan, and as the years will pass by she will be seen in the home of a very eloquent Baptist minister, with whom she went to school at Bryan. Altho she does not like to be teased about him now, she will like him Moore and will be too timid to refuse him when he becomes so good and pious. Thus we shall see little Edna ten years from now. Alex Harris, the boy who likes so well to jig and be comical, will have a chance to be a comedian. He will first play the piano at one of the pool halls in Bryan. After a while he will get a better position as stage manager of the New Majestic in Houston. Then he will be taken as one of the members of the Harris Quartet which will travel all over the State, and sing at the large theatres. Alex will spend the re- mainder of his life as vaudeville actor and singer. Velma Hensarling, who has such pretty rosy cheeks, and whom we call "Veb", will prepare herself to be a good housekeeper, for that has always been her highest ambition. She will take the regular three years course, then one year on post grad- uate work at the College of Industrial Arts. After finishing this she will return to Bryan and take up her life time profession as housekeeper of a very prominent lawyer, who has been her admirer during happy school days, and who will be elected county attorney in 1925. Not only will he be a good lawyer, but also she will be a good "cook." Jack Hyland, the parliamentarian and debater, will go to school at the Univer- sity of Virginia. After completing this he will be elected to teach "Freshman Law" in that University. When he has taught three years he will come back to Texas to be Dean of the Law Department of the University of Austin. Then he will be such a prominent man he will be appointed State Attorney General. When the tenth year of this prophecy is nearing an end, Hon. Jack will be a candidate for Governor of Texas. Arno Henderson, the boy with a smile, will always be a friend to the school children. He will go to A. and M. and specialize in Agriculture. Then he will teach agriculture in the Wellborn schools. After he is thoroughly acquainted with the school, he will be elected Superintendent of it. He will often be seen walking over PAGE TWV,NTV-5Ix MS. the grounds with the school children hanging on his coat-tail and on both hands. As the years roll on, Ardella Jones will be an excellent musician. She will finish music at Harvey, and then go to Kid-Key and spend five years. After completing this course she will go to Berlin, Germany, and study under Prof. Vanderberg. Then as the time passes, she will be his assistant teacher and will remain over there. Louis McCullough, more often called "Mac", will go to Tyler Commercial College. When he gets to be an expert stenographer and bookkeeper he will accept a position with Armour & Co. in Fort Worth, because he will think he can eat all of the meat he wants, when the boss is not in, for Louis likes anything good to eat. While in the packing house one day, he will find the little black haired, brown-eyed girl whom he has tried so hard to find for the last three years, working in the ham room. Then their misunderstandings of the eighth grade will be settled. Myrtle McCullough, or "Turtle" will not go off to school, but will continue her art lessons under one of the leading local art instructors. She will paint a beautiful picture, called, "Shall Curfew Ring Tonight," which will make her famous. This will bring her one million dollars, with which she will go to Paris and study painting. But later on finding out that she can make more money by posing for an Italian artist, she will quit her art. She will make her fortune in this way; then she will travel all over the continent for several years. She will return to America and play for the Metro Motion Picture Co. and be even a brighter star than Florence Lawrence. Frances Mike, nicknamed, "Mikey," will at first be a society woman, as she is so devoted to society now. She will attend school at the Southern Methodist Uni- versity at Dallas. Then she will live in Dallas and make her debut into society there. She will be a great favorite for several years; but finally another girl will capture her fiance, and she will return to Bryan broken hearted, resolved to live a life to herself and her pets, the cats and chickens. Tillman Moore, the only one in the class who seems to be intended for the min- istry, will go to the Southwestern University and make a special study of Theology. After years there he will come to Bryan and be ordained. He will become the pastor of the First Baptist church in Bryan and will remain here the rest of his life. Bernadine McKnight, will go to Galveston and learn to be a trained nurse. She will then work in the Baptist sanitarium in that city for a while, then will go to Philadelphia and join the Red Cross Association. From there she will sail for England to care for the wounded British soldiers. Robert Carson, as he is so anxious, will go to West Point and join the army. He will make himself famous in the war with Mexico, by leading a midnigat brigade and capturing Villa and Carranza, who will have united. After the war, some people will still believe a good fighter would be a good president, and will try to make him a candidate but he will prefer to be a major general in the army rather than presi- dent. Willie Pat Withers, as he is already a ladies' man, will become a woman suffrage worker. He will go to New York, and in the campaigns make public speeches for the women(?) He will be seen in the parades wearing "Votes for Women." Edel Thomsen, the little Dutch girl, will want to be a good housekeeper, so when the next session of school begins, she will leave for San Marcos to attend the Southwest Texas Normal. After two years of work here, she will be taken to Waco to be the longed for housekeeper of an old bachelor. Edna Wickes, or "Ed," will go to school at Huntsville, then to Peabody College for teachers at Nashville, Tenn. When she finishes there, Bryan High School will 1916 be so large it will need two teachers for domestic science; so Edna will be selected as teacher of the first year. Later she will practice what she teaches in the home of an old friend. Amelia Wittman has always known so many jokes, that after school is out she will begin writing jokes for the "Ladies Home Journal." Later she will write short stories and then finally will write a book, entitled, "Amelia," which will be a por- trayal of her own life. Her pen name will be Amelia Fielding. With the money she will get from this book, she will travel abroad and then will finally live in Ger- many. Stella Woodward, the girl who cannot be separated from books, will be a libra- rian. She will read almost every novel in the library in Bryan, then will go to Dallas so that she might read more. Later she will get a position as assistant librarian at the Carnegie Library in Dallas. Gertrude Yeager, the girl who always has a word and smile for everyone, has a bright and happy future. After finishing at Bryan High School she will attend the Texas State University for four years, specializing in foreign languages. She will get a position in Rice Institute in Houston as a teacher of Latin. She will be very successful and within two years will be promoted to the head of the department of foreign languages of that institution. Her life will be one of usefulness filled with many pleasures. Dean Osburn, "Osy" will attend A. and M. College in Kansas and specialize in farming. After finishing college he will be the overseer of a large plantation in Kansas. Then, as he has been a good overseer there, he will be transferred to Brazil as an overseer. That will be his life's work. Ruth Ponder, sometimes called "Ponder", will not care for a college education, as she has a pretty new home to be housekeeper of. She will take dancing lessons, then teach dancing here, but later will go to Benchley to teach because there she can get more pupils. She will make her fortune there and for nearly all her life will remain there. Floy Smith, the girl who usually has the last word, will finish her education at Baylor University. She will then go to Florida on a visit and will teach school at Tampa for several years.

History of the Class of 1916 (Lillian Haneman-Historian.) Night has settled on the great American desert. Facing each other opposite a small fire of sedgebrush, built in a cimaron, are stretched two figures wrapped in blankets. One is medium old. The hair on his head is gray; his face shows fine lines, a square jaw and kind blue eyes; but the sunken chest and hollow cough, sounding at intervals therefrom, told a story that we need not here relate. The other is medium young. He is veritably a chip off the old block, except that his chest and shoulders have an athletic build. PAGF, TWENTY V IN}; - W~3_ The young man speaks as if in answer to a question- "Mine, you say, father!" a dreamy look of pleasant recollections flows across his face. "Ah, they were my companions, father." "Year, did you ask! why '16 to be sure. I thought that was carved indelibly on the foundations of your memory." "Yes, ours was the class of '16. There has been none like it, before or since, and when there is, I will take my knapsack and wend my way thither"-and he jerked his thumb westward-"to the land of the vanishing sun, leaving this land to that perfect generation." "Yes, I admit, there was a little prepishness among us, a little bit of snobishness, some narrowness, due to our inexperience, and quite a deal of ignorance; but when it came to the real thing-the acid test-those of the class of '16 would reach out their hands to one another across the petty little chasms of everyday life and grasping those of their brothers, they would pull together with a steadfast cling tnat and more for them as men and women than anything else in all the world has done or ever can do. When it came to the sacrifice of the individual for the good of that bunch, I tell you, father, there was no one that would not do it. They knew and appreciated a good sincere worker; and only that kind now wear this"-and he held up a finger on which was a ring with B. H. S. '16 engraved. "Hight well do I remember when we first started our high school work. It was in the fall of 1912. Almost fifty strong we were; but time, providence, and certain men with pug noses and others with sharp black eyes and various distinguishing characteristic opithets, thinned us down from year to year, until, at graduation, we would have numbered only nineteen, had we not been honored with thirteen hard working pupils from the other schools, who came to ours to graduate." "Some of those in 1912 came with their purpose mapped out, and they stuck to it admirably. Others came with the hope that something would turn up which would put them on the right road to success. Still others came listlessly, caring not for what they came, and knowing not unto which it would lead them-but, do you know father, how many of the latter graduated with us? Not one." "We all established ourselves in high school shortly after our arrival there, and by the time we were Sophomores, our fame had gone abroad. Our class stood for the highest honor system obtainable; and we maintained it, too. We made the dirt fly in athletics. We established an athletic record that has been the envy of other schools. We raised sand in the Literary Society. We had speakers that were sure to make a name in the future." "And, too, I can't forget that new branch, the Domestic Science, which was es- tablished in the fall of 1915. It was a credit to our school; and the girls that took the course were certainly promising young cooks. I tell you, father, we made Bryan proud of us"-the last was spoken dreamily. The fire had died low. Sounds of deep breathing, coming from across the fire, settled like sweet music on the tired nerves of the young man; the waking world of rattlers, tarantulas and vinagarones that dare not cross the coiled rope, knew him no more:-and The flowing sand of the Cactus land, Sweeping by with a hollow roar, Found them sleeping in a Cimaron, Where their fathers had slept before.

H Junior Class History Most of our present Junior class entered High School as "Fish" in I '13. This was such a busy year with us that we did not organize our class. At last the final examinations come and we were all glad to know that most of our class had passed thru the "Fish" stage. In September 1914, with a few new pupils, we organized our Sophomore class and elected the following officers: Kathleen Sims, president; Helen South, vice-president; Roger McGee, historian; Lester Griffin and Harry Crenshaw, class artists. This was one of the largest Sophomore classes that the school has ever had. Now in our Junior year with thirty-seven members in our class, we have the prospects of being the largest Senior class in the history of the school. Besides this, we expect to maintain our record for being the most orderly ( ? ? ) class in the school. The officers of the class for this year are: Roger McGee, president; Sarah Williams, vice-president; Mildred Newton, historian. We are looking forward to the time when we will be Seniors and will strive to live up to our motto, "Ambition our claim, success our aim." PAGE THIRTY-FOUR IQ- PA( L+1 L1o * 1916 PAGE THIRTY-FIYF H.

Like most adventurous beings, little was known of the difficulties that would be encountered on this unknown voyage. We were soon to encounter the mysterious symbols of algebra and the unfamiliar words that compose the tongue of Caesar and his cohorts. Such a voyage necessarily must have its martyrs. When the second year was begun some had fallen by the wayside, for only twenty-one girls and sixteen boys survived to continue the ,journey. The previous year's experience now merits for us the title of sopho- mores-the wise ones-and we have found it hard to maintain this dis- tinction. The early part of the year was too much consumed with the work before us to give attention to our class reorganization but early in December Elizabeth Wilson, president of the class for the preceding year, called a meeting for the purpose of electing officers for the second year. At this meeting the following officers were elected: Phocion Park, president; Sam Parker, vice-president; Myrtle Ruth Looney, sec- retary; Lila Wickes, treasurer; Elizabeth Wilson, class poet; Horace Smith, class artist; Sangster Bizzell, class historian. At the same meet- ing committees were appointed to select a motto and a flower for the class. The class of '18 has found some time to take some interest in all kinds of high school athletics. The class was represented on the football and basketball teams. The girls who have been active in athletics, sev- eral having been prominent in basketball contests. The present Sophomore class gives every promise of completing the journey two years from now with credit to themselves and the in- stitution that is guiding them on their way. We realize that we could not have gone thus far without the guidance of faithful instructors who have pointed out the pathway when it seemed dim and uncertain to us. Our journey is but half completed and measured by the past it seems quite long, but with renewed courage we expect to complete the journey of the present year, and enter on our third year's try-out with enlarged hopes and increased determination. 916 PAGE.

T FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY. Along in the middle of September, eight years ago, the present Freshman class started their school career. The class was greeted by Miss Mae Burtis. The time went very rapidly until almost before we knew it , we found ourselves in the seventh grade. In this grade we put out a football star, a one hundred-seventy-five pound guard on the high school team. Our grade's baseball team played seven games, and won seven; a good showing for the future. We now hold the proud position of "Fish" in the high school. When the class was organized for the first time, the following officers were elected: Chester Higgs, president; Louise Cline, vice-president; Butler Hickman, secretary; Ross Priddy, treasurer; Lamar Jones, his- torian. Our class of forty-seven consists of nearly as many boys as girls and with intellectual, oratorical, poetical and athletic ability, our class must be a winner.

The success of the girls basket ball team of 1916 is clue to the enthusiasm, per- severance, and untiring energy of their coach, Miss Ray Montgomery. Not only on the athletic field, but also in the numerous hikes, parties and other diversions, so thoughtfully planned by her, they have learned many useful lessons about the strength of co-operation and the beauties of friendly service. Believing as she does in the importance of physical development, she has organ- ized an athletic association among the girls which has won a reputation both for the school and for themselves. Together with their coach the girls were also enthusiastic and when a call was 1916 PAGF, FORTY--rHRFP; Clara Allen, forward; Olive Cloud, guard; Ora Conway, guard; Evelyn Craw- ford, forward; Ethel Eden, center; Hettie Edge, center; Rosa Hart, center; Belle Locke, forward; Elizabeth Love, center; Vivian Seale, forward; Annabelle Smith, cen- ter; Geraldine Taylor, center; Edel Thomsen, forward; Beulah Turner, guard. made for basketball practice to begin they responded with more interest than ever before. They practiced faithfully from start to finish, and their team work, and scientific playing was unsurpassed. The girls made a very creditable showing owing to the fact that they played girls who were larger and older than they but the team work of the B. H. S. girls surpassed that of their opponents. Even greater results will naturally be expected of the ensuing seasons team. Bryan vs. Harvey. Uncomfortable was the feeling among the Bryan girls when it was known that a challenge for a match game with Harvey had been accepted, for well it was re- membered that Bryan had suffered defeat at Harvey's hands twice in the last season. But dauntless and with a promise for more fun if they won, the Bryan girls met Harvey on Bryan's court, and played ball. Mr. Stark of B. B. A. calling the game. It was a game-the ball passed and repassed, the little forward worked with the goal forward, and the ball went in fast; and still faster in the second half. Bryan was the winner; the score was lb to 11. Navasota vs. Bryan. The first game was played on Bryan's court. The game was fast and well played but Bryan lost by one score. Bryan returned the game with Navasota on Navasota's court. The Bryan girls were tired and worn out by having to wait so long_ before starting, and the game was very one sided. The Bryan passes were scientific, but they were only pretty features, for the ball scarcely ever got to the goal, because of the guarding of the Navasota girls, who were so much heavier. Navasota won by a big score. The people were cordial and kind and altho the defeat was bad, yet in every way they could, the girls made it very pleasant for us. Calvert vs. Bryan. On February 3, the Bryan High School basket ball girls met Calvert's team on Calvert's court; Mr. Steger from College called the game. At the very beginning it seemed that Bryan was asleep, for Calvert took sole charge of the ball and played among themselves; even until the end of the first half Bryan was not in the game. In the second half and at the change of goals, each player on the Bryan team seemed to have had a vision of a defeat, and if it were possible she would not be responsible, and work began. The forwards worked with each other, the guards worked with the centers, and the ball passed from goal post to goal post and three times came thru Bryan's goal; again with two free throws being made. Time was out and Bryan was ahead, the score being 6 to 8 in Bryan's favor. The game was soon forgotten since the Calvert girls and boys together made it all so pleasant, with their hospitality and cordiality that the game was only a social feature in which two sides came together to become acquainted. Had it been possi- ble the score could have been "halved," and each one given its part, so congenial and friendly was the feeling that existed among the girls. ~ 1916 Rli~ PAGH FORTS'-FOUR eve but B. ] tori on teal rest aga 19 PAi Parker, quarter back; Shramek, right half back; Osburn, left half back; Gammill, full back; McCullough, left end; Harrison, left end; Cole, right end; Cloud, left tackle; Dobrovolny, right tackle; Davidson, left guard; Wilkinson, left guard; Cook right guard; Dunn, center.

Marlin vs. Bryan High School, (Bryan) 0-0. The Bryan High School foot-ball team of the 1915 season was victorious in every game of the season. The team was outweighed many times by its opponents but balance was more than made up by an invincible determination on the part of B. H. S. The team opened with a full schedule but because of their overwhelming vic- tories at the first of the season several of the games were cancelled thru fear of defeat on the part of their opponents. Fear of defeat was unknown and the strongest teams of the State were met with the same anticipation as were the weaker ones. The result of the seasons games was that the B. H. S. team piled up a score of 93 to 7 against her opponents. The only points scored against them were made by the Bryan ~ i916 AGE FORTY-FIFE Stars, composed of some of the former star players of local schools. The last game of the season was played with Marlin High who claimed the Central Texas high school championship in football. The final score being a 0 to 0 tie well indicates the strength of the Bryan High eleven. During the entire season perfect harmony and good feeling prevailed among the players. Every man knew his place and was found there at the right time. That element known as "pep" so essential to the success of any athletic contest was always at high stage and never did the interest or enthusiasm lag. To this may be attributed a great part of the success of the season. Just one aim was paramount in the mind of every player in every game; that was to win thru clean playing. Never did an opponent of the Bryan High eleven say truthfully that they were defeated thru unclean playing. Another commendable trait of the 1915 squad was their ability to take defeat smilingly, if necessary. Altho they were never defeated, a dfeat would have been as good naturedly taken as were their victories. COACH REESE. Mr. Reese was a star player on both the football and basket ball teams of Decateur Baptist College and of the North Texas State Normal. He has also had special training under the athletic director of the University of Texas. He is loved and esteemed by all of the boys. He proved to them that he was interested in the athletic work of the school by his faithful service to them as a coach. He was always the first man out on the field when practice time came, and to him we owe our success this year in athletics. Having experience as a player and training in the athletic work has enabled him to be an efficient coach. The records that our teams have made this year show his ability and support to the team. Mr. Reese being a clean, moral man himself, naturally stood for good, clean ath- letics. He has never encouraged dirty playing. Bryan high school and our coach stand for clean athletics and will not play schools that are not for the best kind of athletics. Since Mr. Reese has been connected with the school every form of athletics have been bettered and we think our athletics will continue to be better if he is left in charge. SHRAMEK. For four successive seasons Shramek at half back has been a featuring member of the Bryan high school football squad. His work as a player could always be de- pended upon and he was ever loyal to his team and to the school it represents. His calm easy disposition made him master of all circumstances and enabled him to avoid all possible cases of excitement. The only motive that prompted him in playing was to win every contest he entered by straight hard football playing. He was captain of the team during the 1915 season, and under his leadership the team experienced one of its most successful years. Shramek was a hard line plunger, a sure tackler, and an excellent punter. His ability at stif-arm work was surpassed by no other member of the team. The place left vacant by him will be hard to fill, and his absence from the team will be keenly felt for many seasons. OSBURN. For four years the Bryan High School football team felt the power of Osburn at left-half. His knowledge of football and his ability to use it effectively made him one of the most valuable players the school has ever produced. He led the team to many i97] av"', PAGF FORTY-SIX han be alm beh too to t foot tern line was er. enter Duni plat( f PAi of its victories and of the touchdowns made Osburn made more than half. He was always a star player, his only fault being, that he frequently played too hard. He was an effective line plunger and could be called upon safely for a gain. In addition to his excellent playing he was a valuable member of the team thru his knowledge of football tactics. His aim in entering every game was to win thru the avenues of clean playing. Younger members of the squad could safely pattern after him in their efforts to acquire the characteristics of a good player. Osburn never gave up even to the last minute and this optomistic attitude frequently led the team to victory. He was a football player in every sense of the word and was a winning feature in every game. He graduates this spring and his absence from the team will be felt for many years. GAMMILL. Gammill was a member of the Bryan High squad for three seasons. During that time he rendered valuable service as a player. His most effective work was at full- back during the last year of his playing. He gave to every game the best service a capable body and a willing mind could offer. Being efficient in securing punts and a good tackler made it possible for him to fill the place more effectively. In practice and in play he was a friend to every member of the team and a loyal student of the school. Altho he is attending school in Louisiana this spring, we cannot help but hope that he will be a member of the 1916 squad. PARKER. Altho a new man on the squad Parker made an excellent quarter. His success at handling the team has not been equalled by any first year man. With what seemed to be instinctive ability he met all situations with ease. His work on the defensive was almost beyond criticism. Being a sure tackler and a sure punt receiver made his work behind the line of defense very effective. Altho himself a small man no player grew too large for him to tackle and no line ever became too strong for him to penetrate. With increased weight, skill, and determination he will enter next year's squad to help lead it thru an undefeated season. DUNN. Ross Dunn, (Beef) our veteran center was in every minute of every game. A football player in all applications of the term. On the defensive he was a source of terror to his opponents. With seemingly perfect ease he penetrated the opposing line and very materially interfered with plays and formations. On the offensive he was an immovable pillar in his position. He was a sure passer and a cool headed play- er. Physically strong and mentally willing he contributed much to every game he entered. No gains of any moment were ever made thru center when occupied by Dunn. He was a friend of every one who knew him and will continue to hold his place of high esteem thru another year. PAGE, FORTY-SFVE;N COLE. At right end Cole did good work. Strengthened by the experience of the previ- ous year he entered the season with a good supply of energy and willingness. In some of the hardest games of the season he did his best work by dodging interference and breaking up plays. Cheerfully and laughingly he entered every game and proved a great factor in the team's victories. A friend to every one and every one's friend was Cole's characteristic. What continued a sure tackler, a good pass receiver, and an earnest player he possessed. His effective work and cheerful spirit will not be felt next year as he graduates with the 1916 class. HARRISON. As manager and as a player Harrison was a true member of the squad. His position was left end and never did a weakness show up there. With the same direct earnestness he entered the class room and gridiron. He always had at heart the suc- cess and best interest of his team, and never shirked a single duty. As a tackler, pass receiver, and interference man he had no peer. Under his management the expenses of the team were well met and a neat balance was carried over to the next year. It can be truthfully said that a more earnest, loyal, player was never a member of the Bryan High School football team. He, also, is a member of this year's graduating class. McCULLOUGH. Altho a new man on the Bryan High squad McCullough did excellent work at end. He entered the team reinforced by valuable experience derived from being a mem- ber of an Academy eleven. An accident during the first part of the season's practice prevented his doing more as a member of the B. H. S. team. He was a sure tackler and excellent on receiving passes. Not many plays designed, by his opponents, to pass around his end were ever successful. Graduation will eliminate him from the gridiron next season and the lack of his presence will be keenly felt. CLOUD. A suitable combination of strength and determination made Cloud an excellent tackle. If ever a man passed thru his position he was the worse for the attempt. When called upon to make openings for the carrier of the pig-skin Cloud never failed to respond. On both offensive and defensive he was a pillar of strength to the team. Hard hitting, sure tackling, and safe playing were his mottoes. As a member of the 1916 eleven, Cloud will be a valuable man. DOBROVOLNY. Dobrovolny, commonly known as "Dutch" was one of the few good all-round play- ers. Being a good runner and drop-kicker made him a valuable back field man, while his weight and strength well fitted him for the line. He filled any place assigned him with ability and earnestness and had not a foe among the entire squad. He will prob- PAGE FORTY-VIGHT Among the new members of the team Cook was pre-eminent. Altho a stranger in the school, his friends were numbered by his acquaintances. To know him was to admire him, as a foot-ball player, a student, and as a friend. He was master of all situations and every condition and played earnest football. No new member has ever made greater progress in so short a time. With only more time he would develop a football player of importance among high school amateurs. Wilkinson, one of the faithful members of the team was among the Aest. He entered the field at the opening of the season determined to make the team, and with this determination he succeeded and was a great power to the squad. He will return next year and help the football squad on to its success. Davidson was another new member of the team who did creditable work. In opposition to the fact that he had never before played football, he made a good guard. At all times he was found firm in his position and very sternly opposed an;, ny movement thru left guard. He was a quiet, earnest player and with more opportunity would be- come an excellent football man. Boys' Basketball The basket-ball team of the 1915-16 year was the strongest that the school has ever produced. Altho basket-ball as a representative form of athletics in the Bryan high school is yet in its infancy, much interest and enthusiasm is being manifested. Several well played games were participated in, and in each the high school five made a creditable showing. Judging from the interest being taken in the game by the younger pupils of the school, basket-ball will, in a few years, be one or the leading forms of athletics. As forwards Locke and Tinney did excellent work. They were both good goal FP,GF, FIFTY Harrison, center; Crenshaw, guard ; Cook, guard ; Withers, guard ; Bizzel, guard ; Parker, forward; Locke, forward; Tinney, forward. throwers and showed marked ability in eluding their guards. They will both return next season and help greatly in making a winning team. Withers, Cook (Captain), and Crenshaw filled the positions of guard very effi- ciently. To be in the right place at the right time was their aim in every game. Every score made by their opponents was thrown under close guarding. Of the three only Crenshaw will return, but with his ability the team will be greatly strengt'iened. The same marked excellence that he exhibited in all branches of athletics was shown by Harrison at center. He was in every minute of every game and to his earnest playing the success of the season may be greatly attributed. It is the purpose of the management to have basket-ball training begin early in the season, and we may expect the strongest team in the history of the school to oc- cupy the court during the season. X916 W B.H.S. BASEBALL When the word base ball was sounded in the spring of 1915 twenty-three men appeared on the diamond for training. A warm contest ensued which brought to view some excellent ability. Hard practice was begun and the squad was soon reduced to fifteen men. A few more work-outs brought the number to twelve which constituted the representative base-ball team of the school. A good schedule of games was arranged and the present indications are that the 1916 team will make a very creditable showing among the high schools within her field of action. Far more interest than ever before is bein manifested this year in base ball. This cannot result in anything but stronger teams and more cooperation between the school and the team that represents it. Among the games of importance played this season will be the Navasota high and Caldwell high. Both of these schools have strong teams and will be in a position to interest any opponent.

Celebration of a ` Football Appologies to Poe.) Hear the loud rejoicing bell, High School Bell What a tale of happiness its ringing must foretell! How it tells of foot-ball fame That our team won in the game When they tied the Marlin team But couldn't score! How our players smashed their dreamer, And a little prior to ending ripped a seam, But did no more! Cheering from the foot-ball fans Ne'er inspired two braver bands, And they made Such a raid On each other while they payed, That the crowd in silence stayed. So the good old school-house bell Now is loudly rung to tell How our players fought and fell, And how glad we all must feel When we hear each merry peal. Hear the voicing and rejoicing Of the bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell. Of the rhyming and the chiming of the bell. -George Davidson, '16. PAGE FIFTY-THRFF, -~~r B.l-~S. c R1 THE LITERARY SOCIETY Fall Term. With the opening of school came the reorganization of the Literary Society. The first meeting was held to elect officers for the term. The officers were elected as follows: Ora Conway '16, president; Sarah Williams '17, vice-president; Jack Hyland '16, treasurer; Ross Priddy '19, sergeant-at-arms. During this term the senior and junior Latin classes presented the play, "A Roman School 90, B. C." to the society. It was thoroughly enjoyed by the members of the society and quite a number of vis- itors, but for various reasons, we will not tell everything they said. The regular programs were always interesting. There were some hotly contested debates, while the declaiming, as a rule, was as good as could be found among pupils who had had no more experience. Winter Term. The winter term opened January 7, 1916 with Jack Hyland '16, president; Roger McGee '17, vice-president; Amelia Wittman '16, secretary; Alice Smith '18, treasur- er; Sangster Bizzel '18, sergeant-at-arms. There were no special programs carried out during this term, but the society is especially indebteded to two seniors for an excel- lent debate. Spring Term. The last term for the class of '16 in the society Frances Mike was chosen presi- cient. The other officers were, Kathleen Sims '17, vice-president; Elizabeth Wilson '18, secretary; Leslie Ballard '16, treasurer; Jess Cook '16, sergeant-at-arms. The term was especially interesting because of the debating contest which was a contest for the best debating team and the best individual debator. EDNA WICKS. PAGE FIFTY-FOUR ;.or le -le A DREAM OF LATIN While I toil along with Latin on a chilly winter night, And I found again as usual that it made me want 'a fight, What I dreamed came to pass, I was stuck again so fast, That I couldn't go on farther and I had to stop at last. I was in the book where Cicero was handin' out his "gab," And was running down poor Cat'iline with every word a stab. There was trouble in "Book First," "Caesar's Gallic Wars" was worse, But old Cicero's oration made me want to take a hearse. Now the candle light burned dimmer and I reached a drowsy mood, And I thought that I'd attack it soon with vigor much renewed; But of course my eyes were closed, And in slumber soon I dozed, And I even dreamed of Latin, tho I wasn't so disposed. In my dream I thought that I was in a dragging Latin class, Where the idea of each member was to only try to pass, And our teacher he would rave, When the class would misbehave, And he'd take us out an' beat us with a heavy barrel stave. We had failed to learn our lessons so he locked us up all night, And he said, "By early morning you must know this lesson right." As I well knew what this meant, I my every effort spent, And I got out thru a window, And away to Rome I went. Soon I found out by inquiries that poor Caesar was in woe, So I started out to find his camp and help him fight his foe. I found him and Catiline, Way off from the battle line, They were throwing dice with Cicero and getting drunk on wine. I meandered up to Caesar and saluted with a whack, 1916 'A" r, rlr l Y-1- 1Y1, And I said, "Get to the battle, sir; your men are falling back!" We returned upon the run, And when the fight had won, I said, "come and make repairs for all the evil you have done." I got Cicero and Caesar in a little army tent, And I told them of the hardships Latin pupils underwent, Then I told them of my fate, And I made them both translate All the Latin in the books which had incurred my great- est hate. Each one said he couldn't do it,-said that Latin was too hard, But I kept them busy working while I kept an eagle guard. They worked steadily but slow, And when I got up to go, They said they could show me Virgil, but I said, "I thank you,-no!" So I gathered up their efforts and returned to join my class, And since then there's not a member who has failed to pass. I was reading from my book, When my teacher gave a look, Saw my helpful Latin pony and said, "step up here you crook." He picked up a wagon spoke, And he raised the very smoke From my person where he hit me, but this moment I awoke. How I pondered o'er my dream and wished the pony part were true, But my book was there before me, I had still my work to do. How it stared me in the face, And it seemed to say, my place Was os if it, in a poker game with me, held every ace. There is one good use for Latin books, the only one I've found, You can get in bed and read them, and you'll go to sleep quite sound, But the only use in class Is to help you not to pass, So I'm thankful that with Latin, I'm forever thru at last. -George Davidson, '16 Mic i916 W PAGE FIFTY-SIX Humc) i --z r - i 1916 PAGE HIN'TS'-SN;N'VN Mr. Miller-"I once knew a man, who is dead now, who read French novels for pasttime."

Forget that English professor of ours who says the American slang is the swell talk. He's trying to put one over on us. Either somebody's been handing him a lemon or else he's trying to con us. Listen! You can't make a hit with the tony guys unless you get a little style into your lingo. The trouble with slang is that it puts your vocabulary on the blink in a jiffy, and then when you want to have a touch of the high life and throw the lugs, you're in bad. See? Do you get us? Have some class about you, and cut it out. We laugh at our professors' jokes, No matter what they may be; Not because they are funny jokes, But because it's policy. k I stood upon the mountain, I gazed upon the plain; I saw a field of green stuff, That looked like waving grain. I took another look at it And thought it must be grass; But, goodness gracious, to my horror, It was the Junior Class. i9l6 W MAGI, SIXTY-TWO B.H.S. ~r -M w 111 "I r i ThQ L Oy's ri €Ftgr Pract-icz y-fic PAGE SIXTY-THREE SENIOR POEM The Senior class composed of thirty-two, Wishes to extend its never ceasing_ gratitude To the nobleminded instructors, and to you, Mr. Superintendent with you patience ever renewed.

The long wished for time has come at last, After four years of both agreeable and unpleasant work; Now we know that with you our days are passed, And that you your duty did never shirk. We give you strong and worthy-written- assurance That in case any of us live to be ever so old, And our bodies and minds preserve their endurance We, your teachings will ever further and uphold.

One of the most delightful courtesies shown the Senior Class this spring was a party given by Miss Ferne Dansby at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. F. Dansby. Ferne welcomed the class in her large spacious home where the reception suite was beautifully decorated with ferns and where the class flower, the American Beauty rose predominated. Games and various contests occupied the time of the evening. Music was also enjoyed by the guests. After these diversions, Ferne, as- sisted by her mother, served a delicious ice course with angel cake. At a late hour the guests bade their hostess "goodnight" after having told her they had spent a very enjoyable evening. Easter Party. On the afternoon of April 20th, at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Edge, Hettie entertained her class members with an Easter party. The home was prettily decorated with red and gray, the class colors. All of the guests enjoyed music and conversation for a while. Then the hostess announced an Easter egg hunt, and Myrtle McCullough proved to be the successful contestant. She was presented with an Easter remembrance. The guests were refreshed all during the afternoon with ice cold lemonade, and at the close of the afternoon much enjoyed ice cream cones were served. Juniors Compliment Seniors. The Junior Class complimented the Seniors on Thursday afternoon April 27th with a picnic at Cavitt's pasture. All the merry picnickers left the school house for the woods accompanied by the faculty as chaperons. They found due pleasure in different games, fishing, swinging, and kodaking. The dinner was spread about 5:30 o'clock and all fatigued from playing, felt greatly repaid when they sat down before the well spread cloth. After the dinner, ice cream cones were passed as the desert. All the Seniors certainly enjoyed this affair. Thank you, Juniors. B. B. B. This curious heading stands for the very most enjoyable affair given to the Sen- iors, Brazos Bottom Barbecue. This was given by Lillian Hanneman at her planta- tion home in the Brazos bottom. We left Bryan in automobiles about 11 o'clock one Saturday morning, and as soon as we arrived, we had our barbecue dinner. Then we spent the afternoon most pleasantly while fishing, riding, and kodaking. Later we all were refreshed with ice-cream cones. Soon we began our journey home, weary and happy. Indeed, this outing was one of the most enjoyed compliments paid to the Seniors, and we consider country hospitality the best yet. PAGE SIXTY-SEVEN W B HS. Leap Year Party. On Friday vening, Feb. 2th, the Senior boys enjoyed a leap year theatre party given them by their girl classmates. We Seniors met at Ferne Dansby's, and there we found great pleasure in listening to the music, both vocal and instrumental, rendered by the musical members of the class. At an appropriate hour, we all left for the Dixie, chaperoned by two members of the faculty. After the Dixie we proceeded to the cream parlor where we were refreshed by a cherry high ball. Here our class colors were artistically arranged throughout the room. After much merriment, the boys, after many thanks for the good time we girls gave them left us at our homes. Tacky Party. An affair entirely informal in character and hence doubly enjoyed by all par- ticipants, was a tacky party given Friday night April 7th, in compliment to the basket ball girls of the high school by their charming coach, Miss Ray Montgomery, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Brogdon. As the title of the party intimates, so the costumes of the guests were in keeping with, and as each one arrived much laughter and merry making was in evidence. Numerous games, such as a potato race, a peanut hunt and others furnished unalloyed pleasure. After these games refreshments of hot chilli, sweet pickles and crackers were served in the dining room, and nougat bars and Hersey's were passed later. The entertainment was by all present pronounced an excellently arranged affair. Staff Corralled. Two members of the staff, Myrtle and Louis McCullough delightfully entertained the other four members one night in March. The first part of the evening was spent in working on the Corral, and then we enjoyed conversation and music. We spent quite an enjoyable evening and especially enjoyed the salad course and hot chocolate. Who said that wasn't good? Well you should have been there with us. Basket Ball Outing. On March 31st the girl basket ball players and a few high school boys, chaperoned by Mrs. Artie Crawford, Miss Ray Montgomery and Mr. George Simpson left on the Brazos Bottom Interurban for the little Brazos where they spent the night in camp- ing. Each person in the party went prepared to do what cooking and preparing of things for the night they were called upon to do. As this was a rare outing it was thoroughly enjoyed by all. This was under Miss Ray's management and the party felt sure that that was why it was such a success. I-- M~~".M . PA( '.F, SIXTY-FIGHT _XW. Kippling's Recessional "Slightly Revised."
