F rom those of either of the

Our H igh School days are near the end, When joyous care-free hours shall p a ss; Each girl and boy a different path, shall wend, And each take up a new-found task, In the later life, in the after years, W hen cares he heavy on our brow, L e t’s not give up to sighs and tears B ut remember the days we are having now. So, Seniors, take a memory bright Of B. H. S. into your new sphere ; It will help you through life ’s hardest fights A nd never fail to bring you cheer. —LU CILLE

GOIST.

A H isto n j of '22 C la ss The year 1918 is one to be long remembered. B y a rare coincidence all the best talent of the world was draw n to the lode-stone rock known as “ B urk H i.” Its power was irresistible. The paths and roads lead from fa r and near. Incidentally, the by-ways leading through “ B u rk ,” the city of “ Flow ing G old,” were very slippery and oily. Therefore some of the members of the Freshm an Class came sliding and tum bling into the class room in a very undignified position. The first was Leslie Carnes, the driver of D ort cars. He holds Tommy M ilton or B arney Oldfield in scorn. Ju liu s K nauth is a pseudo-scientist. He threw away his valuable tim e working on perpetual motion schemes. • “ J a y ” knows now, a fte r b itte r experience, th a t perpetual motion is impossible. F rom the fa r off city of A ustin came a flam ing meteor leaving a long tra il of sparks behind. A fter cooling off sufficiently, the meteor was found to he Lucy Cawlfield. She has not completely cooled yet, because she still “ sp ark s.” On the road leading Erom the east came a figure moving in a great cloud of dust. The lodestone had evidently accelerated her speed, for h er very rapid movements plus the influence of the accelerator formed a combination which could not be beaten. A fter arriving, the figure was found to be Leona Owens. I t is not known from whence Florence U rban came, b u t she certainly made an instant reputation. She became known as the “ p esL i’ because of her teasing disposition. This was later changed to ‘‘spider.!’ One n ight a noted astronom er discovered a small, b rig h t point of light fa r off in the sky. A fter m aking deep mathematical, calculations he found th a t it would hit the E a rth and afte r rolling a short distance would fly off into space again. This b rig h t point of light was given the name of Alice Wesbrooks. Those were wild and dangerous days. On November 1(3, 1918, a great battle was fought between the Freshm en and the F aculty. The Freshm en were fond of dancing, especially the V irginia Reel. On November 10, while dancing, the sentinels became negligent of their duties and allowed the enemy to steal into camp, unobserved. The F acu lty won a. complete victory. There were no more V irginia Reels. The second epoch of history, known as the Sophomore year, was a very eventful one. Two more meteor^ arrived. Those were especially brilliant, having never cooled off. They are still red -h o t Thev_w&K&lIh a rlo tte Mansfield an d_F rancis Felty. eA P a g e T w e n ty -T h r e e

The new High School building was completed d uring the Sophomore year. N aturally, there was a great deal of confusion when the H igh Schoo was transferred to its new quarters. The school system was badly isor ganized, and the study hall was crowded. This lasted u n til mid-term, w en more teachers were employed. Every one had to get down and dig to make up for lost time. I t became popular for every girl to keep a friends ip book. This fad was originated by one girl, but it soon became stylish for every girl to keep one if she wanted to keep up with the sm art set. Nineteen hundred and tw enty found the talented group in their Ju n io r year. Their form and prestige was considerably increased by two new com ers: Gerald Vinson and E d Taylor. The Juniors contributed three con testants to the county meet, held in Iowa Park. Taylor won the h u rdling and high-jum ping victories while Vinson and his p artn e r started a racket with Iowa P ark and Electra. They won the tennis laurels from Iowa P ark, but E lectra defeated them by a narrow margin. Charlotte Mansfield won second honors in the declamation contest. I t was d uring this time th a t the periodic comet returned to the vicinity of the lode-stone, having been on her orbit beyond Ju p iter. The lode-stone captured her as a satellite. The Juniors gave their annual banquet to the graduating class. They wished that we “ may live happily every day of our lives.’’ September, 1921, ushered in the last and most im portant epoch. All were looking forw ard to Commencement. Seven more were draw n to the lode-stone rock. Some of the Seniors got together and decided th a t “ B urk H i ’’ should have an Annual. F o u r of the candidates elected were Seniors. They were: Lucy Cawlfield, editor-in-chief; Gerald Vinson, business m ana ger; Francis-Feltv. advertising manager, and Charlotte Mansfield, social editor. ‘‘ The Derrick ’’ was unanimously chosen as the name of our A nnual. A fter an exciting contest, Clodell True was elected the H igh School beauty by the Seniors. Many rumors were current th a t the “ Sophs” had raised $125. while the Seniors had raised Only $65 in votes. Calling a meeting, they decided to borrow $75 from the bank, thus m aking enough to win. A nother large amount was borrowed from private individuals. A fte r the votes were counted it was found th at Clodell True, the Senior candidate, had won by more than $150 in votes, while the nearest competitor received $80. Lucille Goist made a reputation as a satirist and p'hophet. She has p ro phesied that the “ saint of the Senior Class” will become “ a hijacker and bootlegger.” Alvin Calkins became famous as the “ man w ith the big laugh.” He can be immediately recognized in a dark theatre by his laugh. Fletcher Ja rre l has become Miss F loyd’s assistant in the laboratory. While she is trying to pound chemistry into our thick skulls, she has him to show the new comers, who are usually girls, how to balance an equation, or find the molecular weight of a substance. Fletcher said th a t he enjoyed the

hob. Mabel Tune has always a dream y, far-aw ay look in her eyes. She seems to see a handsome knight, mounted on a prancing charger, appearing over the horiaon to m eet her. The post-graduates, Ollygay Clark, E rn a Schwegler and Dorothy Brickley, believe in preparedness, as they are all taking the bookkeeping course. I f they do not meet the cavalier of th eir dream s they will not be dependent on the w orld fo r th eir support. I f they do, they may have to support th e ir cav aliers; anyway, they believe in the old quotation : ‘ ‘ P u t not your faith in princes. ’’ — CLINTON M ORRIS.

p r o p h e c y

In 1928 I started on a tour through Asiatic countries. I visited m any different countries and provinces, all of which were very interesting. In A rabia I saw the caravans go from the city and into the desert on th eir tours. This way very fascinating and seemed to appeal to my w andering n atu re. As I stood at my window and looked out across the desert a sudden in sp ira tion to travel across it came to me. In a few days several of my friends and I, w ith a great caravan an d a good guide, set out for a two weeks’ journey across the desert. F o r several days we moved on without meeting anyone, or any incidents o ccu rrin g ; b u t on the fifth day we met a sheik with his caravan and guards. As my guide talked with his guards I took note of the sheik. He seemed very restless; he was tall, dark, and had sparkling brown eyes which I seemed to recognize. I watched him more closely and thought of all my acquaintances, try in g to see who it was th at he reminded me of. F inally I w ent nearer and to my surprise it was E d Taylor. Reluctantly he told me his story. F o r several years he had studied medical surgery and had studied some abroad. W hile in college he had fallen in love w ith a beautiful girl and on h er death he had become heartbroken and had started on endless travels. H e h ad finally landed in A rabia and had decided to spend the rem ainder of his life there, being interested in fine horses. A fter spending a few days in his camp we left for H industan. There I visited seme of the ancient prophets and traded one a penny for a spheri cal, crystal ball. He instructed me to think seriously on a subject and slow ly revolve the hall'and in it would appear a vision of the subject and its oc cupation. W hen I returned to my hotel, having seen one of my classmates, I decided to try the ball for the fates of some others. Following the old m an’s instructions, I began thinking of my oid friend, Florence Urban. Slowly the illusion came. I shw a country school house in a beautiful valley, surrounded with trees and flowers. Soon I saw approaching a young lady, with several children running by her side. This was Florence, the teacher of the small school. Florence had never been very studious but it seemed th a t her love for nature and children had draw n her away to this corner of civilization. As this fortune seemed successful I began tu rn in g the ball and thought of my classmates. Slowly the scene changed again and I saw a large chem istry laboratory with a sturdy looking gentleman intently engaged in his work. The vision became clearer and I discovered th a t this was Clinton Morris. He had become one of the most eminent chemists of the age having discovered new elements of the earth and also points in astronom y’

P a g e T h irty -P o u r

Since these two revelations had shown so much, I proceeded fu rth er. A m illinery shop came into view and there, seated by a table and engaged in trim m ing a large hat, was Leona Owens. Leona had always had artistic touches and she was applying these in a very fashionable m illinery shop in Chicago. She was very successful, as well as famous. A section of the w o rld ’s fa ir next came to view. This was the inventors ’ and projects section. There was Gerald Vinson, who had made and p er fected an automobile with 12 cylinders, which would exceed all speed limits ever established. The engine was in the rear of the car, air cooled and con nected with a vacuum. H is invention was very famous, yet no one dared try the machine out. As the scene changed to the race track, where G erald’s invention was to be tested, a dark complexioned young m an m arched out and entered the machine, stating th a t he would “ open her u p ” for one million dollars. The next vision was the dare-devil, who had achieved and broken all speed records, receiving his million and more, and as he bowed, to 'th e crowd I saw th a t it was Leslie Carnes. Leslie had his first experience in racing in his D ort back at B urk b u rn ett. The next view was ra th e r dusky, b u t as it cleared I saw a large; yacht sailing tow ard w hat was Haw aii. The captain of this craft was Alvin Cal kins, who loved the country of H aw aii and had settled there on a pineapple farm and made a fortune. H e was often seen on the beach, walking w ith the Zula girls, who are the chief attractio n of Hawaii. I next saw a very swell ladies ’ ready-to-wear establishment. The owner of this was showing her beautiful garm ents as h er models displayed them. As she turned to look a t her customers I saw th a t it was Lucile Goist. H er establishm ent was very popular among the social set and bore the name, M adame Lucile, the A rro g an t Shop. On rubbing the crystal again, a vision of a fru it stand came into view. There stood a m an rubbing his apples and straightening all his beautiful fru it. As he tu rn ed to meet a customer I saw th a t it was Fletcher Jarrell. H e had drifted about since his graduation from H igh School u n til he had finally become interested in a fru it stand and had then prided himself on keeping it. Soon I saw a modern bungalow and two small children playing around a lady, who was sittin g on the porch. As it became clearer I recognized Clodell True, who had m arried a m erchant in California. She had a com fortable home and happiness seemed to reign throughout the scene. B y this time I was very sleepy, and postponed the rest of my perusal u n til the next day. E arly in the m orning I started out in the streets in search of amuse ment. There I found an ancient gypsy fortune teller. How this gypsy had reached the land of the H indus wks beyond my comprehension. B ut nevertheless I determ ined to consult her concerning the fate of my class m ates of 1922. On questioning h er she went into a trance and told this s to ry : She said

■ag*y trir<TTTMMrrraTaaaaaaacgaai

r.:

that she saw the United States and a very large city there. The old y said th at she saw a small, black-haired, and black-eyed girl. is young lady proved to be Alice Wesbrooks, who was a great nurse in a hospi a m Chicago. Alice devoted all of her time to saving the wounded and s er ing, and to aiding humanity. The old lady again went into a trance for a lengthy time. A t last she told me about Ollygay Clark. Ollygay had never grown any larg er th a n when she was a senior. She was still very studious and was struggling hard with her art. Already several of her paintings had appeared in magazines and it is believed that she will be H arrison F ish e r’s successor fo r p ain tin g beautiful women, for O llygay’s imagination always ran in high channels. The next revelation somewhat shocked mis. One of the greatest brokers of W ail Street was Charlotte Mansfield. Daily she made her way to the ex change in a red roadster, and there took her place for the day. M any suitors pursued her for she had become a multi-millionaire. B u t Charlotte h ad also become a perfect man-hater, as well as a sort of miser, and turned the suitors away. I was still morei startled when the gypsy said th a t Charlotte would probably be a candidate for senator in the next election. She next pictured a courtroom with the lawyer pleading the case of his client. H is voice rang out over the crowd and the decision came in favor of his side. As he proceeded she stated th a t this was Francis Felty. F ran cis had pursued several different occupations but had finally become a lawyer. He was an orator, who was almost as famous as P atrick H enry, and as a law yer was among the greatest in the United States. I t is possible th a t he will enter the Supreme Court. The gypsy next pictured a young lady on her way to her work. This was Mabel Tune. Mabel was head bookkeeper in a large departm ent store in some large city. She was very successful and stood a chance for promotion. H er bookkeeping course in B u rk b u m ett H igh School had prepared h er fo r a successful business career. Olan Moore was next brought into view. The old lady said th a t he still labored very hard on his books. He was a professor in science in one of the High Schools in a city of Texas. He had decided to become a m inister and studied for such at night after he had completed hig school work. She said th a t he was very enthusiastic and would soon be ready to preach. I counted all my schoolmates and found th at one was missing. F in ally I though of him, and it was Ju liu s K nautb. The old gyspy thought awhile and then said th at she saw a large cafeteria which rotated around fixed tables. She then said th a t the inventor of this was Julius. H e had become interested in inventions and had perfected a machine which caused the v a r ious parts 0f the cafeteria to rotate and thereby save much labor and energy This had proved to be one of the most valuable inventions of the age and was spreading over the world. Thus proved to be the fates of the members of the Class of 1922 — LUCY C A W LFIELD .

C lass H ill Ladies and Gentlemen, B oard of Education, Superintendent, Teachers and F rie n d s : Upon behalf of my client, the Class of ’22 of B u fk b u rn ett H igh School of the City of B urk b u rn ett, State of Texas, U.

C utting so rapidly loose from life and finding so m any friends of such gigantic proportions to be attended to before the end should come upon h e r ; realizing at the same time th a t she had no longer time left to spend in cultivation of her own virtues, she did, collectively and individu ally, deem it best to d istribute these v irtues w ith h er own hands to those friends to whose needs they seem best fitted. As a result of this an nouncem ent a wild scene took place am idst most fran tic pleading and scram bling among her friends fo r this or th a t so long coveted glory; b u t she has tried to be just, as well as generous and im partial, and distribute wisely unto those who will make the best use of such gifts as she has in h er power to bestow, the talents th a t have served her faith fu lly these fo u r years. These are h er decisions, as at last definitely arrived at through very deliberate consideration. Owing to the flighty condition of her brain, an'd the usual disturbance in its gray m atter, she begs me to state for her th a t she may quite possibly have been m istaken in her inventory, b u t such things as she thinks she has she hereby gives into your possession, p ray in g th a t you will accept them as a sacred tru s t from one Who has gone before. Listen, then, one and all, while I read the document as duly draw n up and sworn t o : We, the Class of ’22, in seventeen individual and distinct parts, being about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of a crammed m i n d, well trained memory, and almost super-hum an understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testam ent, hereby revoking and m aking void all form er wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made, or m ayhap carelessly spoken, one to the other, as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour. A nd first we do direct th a t our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends and well-wishers, our superintendent and his all-wise and evercom petent faculty, who have been our guardians for so long, only asking, as the last injunction of the ’dying, th a t the funeral be carried on w ith all the dignity and pomp th a t our worth, our m erit, our attainm ents, and our posi tions as Seniors of “ grave and reverend m ien,” must certainly have de served.

P a g e T h ir ty -S e v e n

As to such estate as it has pleased the fates and our own hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follow s: Item. We give and bequeath to the dear faculty, who have been our instiuctors in all the wisdom of the ages, a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lie awake through the long watches of the night to w orry over the u n certainty o whether this one is doing her night work, or th a t one will have her m at einatics in the morning class, or the other one will remember every iron-elad rule of compositional technique in the preparation of her essay. I t has been a hard strain on them, for Seniors are said to be a t all times and u n d er ail conditions difficult to manage. B ut they have all done their duty, and verily now shall they have their well-earned reward. Item : We give and bequeath to our beloved Superintendent, Profi E. J. Woodward, our sincere affection, our deepest reverence, our h eartiest gratitude, and the whole unlimited wealth of our eternal memory. In an attem pt at partial paym ent for all th a t he has done for us d uring our long years at B urkburnett High, we make over to him, here and now,., a heavy mortgage on our fu tu re in the Great Unknown beyond. I t shall be his to watch every step of our upw ard and onward flittin g —to note each trial, each attem pt, each victory, each success and honor th a t we m ay achieve in the arena of the world—and to accept for himself, as interest on our death less debt, every ounce of the praise, every iota of the honor, knowing th a t it is all due to his faith fu l instructions. Ite m : We give and bequeath to the leading paper of our city, the B urkburnett Star, and to the talented editor thereof, all the events of our lives, past, present, and to come, with all the wonders, sensations, h a ir breadth escapes, glorious attainm ents, and other deserved or undeserved notoriety and fame with which we may have been, or may hereafter be as sociated, tru stin g th a t they may furnish plenty of m aterial for news items and brilliant editorials for ages yet to come, and serve as an inspiration for those younger students who as naturally look to us for examples. Ite m : We give and bequeath to the Ju n io r Class all such boys as were not able to keep pace with such brilliant girls as compose the m ajority of our class, trusting th a t the Ju n io r girls may be able to hold firmly to them and steer them firmly next year through the gates of Commencement, th a t they may not share in the humiliation th a t has been ours a t not being able to “ Hold our men .folks’| —as the women of the world would p u t it. Ite m : We likewise give and bequeath to this same Ju n io r Class, as a student body, Clinton M orris’ knowledge of economics, philosophy, art, science, and the universe, whole or in p art. We tru st the class may be able to survive it. Item : The following may seem triflin g bequeaths, b u t we hope they may be accepted^—not as worthless things, lavishly throw n away*because we can no longer keep them, but as valuable assets to those who mav receive them, and a continual rem inder of the generosity of h eart displayed in our free and full bestowal: F irs t: To our class-room teacher, Mrs. Chu’rchill, the friendship an d adm iration ot the class ot 1922. Second: To the football team of 1923, the ability of Francis F eltv anrl Julius K nauth. We couldn’t induce Ed Taylor to surrender his.

P a g e T h ir ty -E ig h t

T h ir d : To some benighted Freshm an, anybody who will accept it, as yet unclaimed, Leona Owens’ troubles as Class Treasurer. F o u rth : To H allie Moody, the example of the members of this class. We have proven ourselves able to keep quiet on all occasions. Sheer num bers ought to convince and convert Hallie. F i f t h : To Sam K iker the secret of F letcher J a r r e ll’s method of play ing baseball. S ix th : To the g irl tennis champions in 1923, the success of Florence U rban and Lucy Cawlfield. Seventh: To Glenn Owens, Gerald V inson’s executive ability as busi ness m anager of “ The D errick ,” b u t not his beauty. H e ’ll still feel the need of that, he fears, and couldn’t be cajoled or coaxed into leaving it be hind, even w ith Glenn, who needs it so badly. E ig h th : To all fu tu re class presidents, C harlotte M ansfield’s ability to convince Professor W oodward of the said P resid en t’s u n errin g judgm ent. N inith: To Jam es W ellman, Leslie C arnes’ ability to get acquainted w ith all the new girls in and out of school. T enth : To Jan e Hood, Clodell T ru e ’s success in the beauty contests. E le v e n th : To M innie K nauth, Lucile G oist’s musical ability. T w elfth: To A rth u r U rban, A lvin C alkin’s “ horse-laugh.” T hirteen th : To H elen Felty, Lucy Cawlfield’s position as Editor-inChief of “ The D errick .” F o u rteen th : To Viola Gray, Beatrice C ain ’s p erpetual smile. F ifte e n th : To M ildred Ellis, Mabel T u n e’s bobbed hair. S ixteenth: To G riffin T h rift, Ollygay C lark ’s ability to solve Com m ercial A rithm etic. S eventeenth: To U ndine Mansfield, the tim idity of Alice Wesbrooks. May she use it only in public places. L ast comes the one th in g h ard for us to p a rt with. . To our successors, we m ust leave our places in the hearts and thoughts of our P rin cip al and teachers. They will love them, unw orthy as we feel they are, even as they have loved us. W e do hereby constitute and appoint the said P rin cip al sole executor of this, our last will and testam ent. In witness whereof, we, the Class of ’22, the testators, have to this our will, w ritten on one sheet of parchm ent, set our hand and seal, this nineteenth day of June, Anno Domini, one thous and nine hundred and twenty-two. — F L O R EN C E URBAN.

Jfmttar C lass H istunj We, the Juniors, enlisted in the H igh School arm y three years ago. We have fought our way forw ard step by step, m astering each book as we came to it. B u t a t last o u r hopes are shattered, as flank movements of our ene mies—L atin, H istory, English and Geometry—force us to retreat. H alf the year is gone, m any soldiers have fallen w ith m ortal w ounds; they stru g gle vainly to r is e ; b u t then, as they are about to gain th eir feet, a sudden shot of Geometry lays them back again, all the while throw ing circles, radio, and their reinforcem ents around the wounded and helpless student. B u t again our men are rallied and have come to the aid of those who have fallen. Reinforcem ents arrive and s ta rt across “ no m a n ’s la n d ” by leaps and b o u n d s; b u t our enemies are very clever and those who are hasty are throw n violently back and call on the common soldiers to r aid. A t last relief has arrived and wc are sent behind the lines for a two weeks’ rest. H ere we confer w ith our parents, who decide fo r u s th a t we had b etter renew the attack w ith redoubled efforts. W e are feverish after having fought so long, b u t we make a m ighty rush when we are sent back as relief, and to our joy the enem y’s lines give. We gain steadily fo r about two w eeks; then we begin to weaken, and the enemy, noting this, advance with all th eir forces. B u t we are determ ined to lose no g round; we Stand firm, though m any a w arrio r is w ounded; we press hard er and now we find these battalions— Geometry, Latin, H istory and English— almost annihila ted. W e make a sp u rt to finish them, and lo ! We find ourselves a t the longed-for place, “ The Senior D oor.” We knock; the door is opened by a haggard being. W e ask of her her nam e, “ I am the Seniors who are left behind,” , she answers. She beckons, we step inside and find some seats filled. There is a g ran d rush fo r places. B u t alas, a fte r we are all seated we have some vacancies, for some who fought a h ard battle have lost in both Ju n io r and Senior army. These will attack old foes, while those who won will attack new ones, and strive for the next attainable height. —JA M E S W ELLM AN.

Very large is the Sophomore class, And in 'it many a p retty lass, W ith hair th at curls , And teeth like p earls; They’re p retty enough for any class.

There’s boys, too, as in most classes, Though not as p retty as the lasses. We could not do without them, F o r w e’d always think about them, Those boys of the Sophomore class. A nd made us all afraid. Not very long since, When they tested our intelligence Who had the highest average made T here’s Oran Kite in this grade And Irene Grimes is very s m a rt; She takes four subjects and Domestic A r t ; She was chosen from our class as most p r e tty ; She is also among the most w itty, This beautiful girl who is so smart. There’s John K err, the handsomest boy, B ut in his heart there is no joy, When he reads of C aesar’s strife In which he endangered his life To realize his ambitions as a boy. W infred Page was chosen of the boys as most popular, He is also a very good orator, He was made of our class the president, . While Lillian H all was vice-president; Both are as students very popular. There are many others in this class, B ut must be mentioned in a m ass; Some are studious, some are not, Some say ‘‘ I know, ’ ’ some ‘• I forgot. ’’ B ut all together its a very good class. —By A D E LLE PARSON.

H istory of ^optjomorr (Hlass B y M IL D R E D B L A C K .

Now it came to pass in the th ird year of the reign of P rin cip al Bricklev, in B. H. S., that numerous goodly youths and maidens from divers places came into the Temple of Knowledge and brought with^ them scro s and parchments, and implored th a t their minds be filled w ith knowledge and responsibility. And behold, each was weighed in the P rin cip al s of fice and not found wanting. Then, said the Classification C om m ittee: “ Be this known as the Sophomore Class of B u rk b u rn ett H igh School, 1921- ’22.” Then Principal Brickley came out of his sanctuary and stood before them, saying: “ I am the High Priest, your king, and ye shall do my judgm ent and keep my ordinances.” 1. Thou shall have no ruler but me. 2. Thou shalt not make unto thee an examination paper w ith any likeness of thy neighbor’s. 3. Honor the rules of this institution th a t thv days may be long in B. H. S. 4. Thou shalt not kill thine originality. 5. Thou shalt not loiter in the hallways. Now, these are some of the pupils th a t entered into this class: Page, the same W infred who was afterw ard chosen president. H ubert Jowell, a mighty man of knowledge (?) Rose, the punctual (?) Doris Rice, who saw in life nothing b u t m errim ent and was always m erry (?) F ran k Simpson, whose motto was, “ He who hesitates is lo st.” Paul Ferguson, th a t great general— (General N uisance). Tom W alton, who in spite of being “ p u n y ”,was never known to abstain from eating. Cornet, the lovely Ursel, who knew not powder nor p ain t (?) Taylor, the same Genevieve, who was a lover of birds (esneciallv Jays) Corley Morrow, an ardent worshipper of the idol Cupid. E una McCauley, who was an ardent “ scrap p er” fo r the B. H. S. goal. H arvey Moody, who abhored the ways of the city (?) M argaret Reed, who slew the dragon, Historv. JohnG orm ley, that grave and sober John, who was never known smile (?)

Now these are b u t a few of the members of the class. Then, certain of the trib e of Sophomore gathered themselves together and came unto the stu d y hall, and they s a id : “ Now let us make us a president to rule over us, th a t we may also be like all the classes, and th a t our president may call us together, may stand before us, and m ay fight our b attles.” Now, there was a m an of B u rkburnett, whose name was W infred, a m ighty m an o f words and s ta tu r e ; and there was pot among the children of B. H. S. a more talkative person, and when he stood among the people there was none who had a m outh like he. Then, all the people shouted and said : “ Long live W infred, our president. ’ ’ B u t certain worthless fellows said : ‘ ‘ How shall this man rule us ? ” A nd they despised him. B u t he held his peace. Now, it came to pass th a t in the first m onth of W in fre d ’s reign “ The D errick ” began to be published. Then said the Sophomore Class, “ Behold, there is none more w orthy to grace th e beauty page than one of our own n u m b er.” B u t the tribe of Seniors, by th eir superior purses, overcame them. A nd those following the ways of the wicked were summoned before the H igh P riest, and were sent to th eir places of abode. A nd it came to pass a fte r nine months in bondage, and the tim e being at hand for the d eparture, the H igh P riest spoke unto them, say in g : “ Ye have been fa ith fu l in this, the Sophomore year. E n te r ye now into the joys of the J u n io r Class of 1922-’23. ”

You may sing your songs of Stella, Make rhymes to A rabella; Praise the beautiful Chloris Or die of love for beautiful D o ris; B u t she to whom I erect my shrine Is one whose charms ever shine, Dimming the charms of other girls. A blue-gray eye with a lash th a t curls, Is the eye th at holds sway, Over us all, gloomy or g a y ; She’s the girl for me, d earie; You know who I mean, M ary Yeary. Next im portant in this classical d itty That I was forced to w rite (such a p ity ), Comes the dashing Lockinvar Who takes an interest on hearts at sixty par. There’s K atherine, I ’d certainly be p u t to rout, I f I dared to leave her out. She’s a hit of sunshine with blue eyes, W ith every charm th a t her name implies. Johnny Childress! Do I have to mention him? Scott Felty, too, you all know them, As full of mischief as they can he, Outlaws running free. The rank of first place Is a high point to a tta in ; W e’ve all sought it long, b u t in vain, That little straight m ark th a t denotes the num ber one, Is the most curious under the sun; I t h asn ’t any regard for the rest of us at all, A nd won’t come, no m atter how we beg or call, To anyone b u t Annie Lee Brown,, As B url Self, the clown, I t always tu rn s up on their cards, A t the end of each m onth’s race, Leaving the rest to envy the winners of first place. T here’s a score or more of others, That I haven’t room for h e re ; B ut don’t worry, perhaps in years to come, Y ou’ll have some poet w riting of a famous day and year, W hen your praises rend the sky, Poets fa r more skilled than I.

C lass H istories On September 12, 1921, a band of boys and girls u n d er the excellent leadership of Captain Brickley, set sail for the ‘ ‘ Land of G raduation. As we boarded the good ship Destiny, some of us felt ra th e r “ sh ak y ” as it was our first voyage on the ‘ *H igh School Sea. ’’ A calm sea confronted us, which continued u n til we were fa r out a t sea, when a storm broke the stillness in the form of a beauty and p o p u larity con test, during which some one very thoughtfully relieved us of quite a sum of money, which had been used for votes. A fter the storm had abated there came several days of calm, which brings us up to this period. W e have ju st been w arned th a t we are approaching the danger zone— th a t of sub marines in the form of mid-term exams, firing terrible torpedoes in the form of questions. We are all excited. Captain Brickley an d his competent officers are drilling us for the ensuing battle. Perhaps many will not survive, b u t we all have excellent hopes. A fter passing this zone there is b u t one more—even more terrib le th a n the first—which we call final exams. Those who survive this battle will a r rive at the Island of N inth Grade. From there, with alternate battles an d rests at the Islands of Tenth and Eleventh Grades, we shall reach the “ L and of G raduation.” W ith our excellent leadership and our present good luck continuing, we hope to reach our destination w ith flying colors. —D O RO TH Y RA G SD A LE.

On the tw elfth day of September, in the year of our L ord nineteen hundred twenty-one, two groups of young people, a fte r proving th a t they knew almost everything th a t was to be learned in the Seventh G rade about three months before, came up-stairs to sit in the H igh School auditorium . The seven-one class came up the north stairs from Room 25, and the seventwo class came up the south flight from Room 27. A fter choosing which subjects they would take, the Science class was given seats in the south end of the auditorium and the F acu lty called them the eight-one grade. We, the foreign language class, were given seats in the north end of the auditorium and were called the eight-two grade. There were about thirty-five enrolled at first, and the class has had about th a t num ber all year. Not long after school began both sections of the E ighth Grade were given an intelligence test, and according to the score, the eight-two section aver aged higher than the eight-one did. However, we think they are an in telligent “ bunch.” Before long there will be another great dividing, and the ones who can answer the questions and solve the problems propounded by the F acu lty will take up the second y e a r’s work of H igh School, while those who cannot will be forced to start anew and be required to make their first year credits before they reach the coveted goal—the Sophomore Class. 0.

A fter the Senior Class had decided to have an A nnual and the stu d en t body had elected the staff, the next question presenting itself was the finan cial problem. The staff unanimously voted to conduct a series of beauty and poularity contests, which were to last one week each. The votes were to cost one cent eatih, and there was no lim it as to the num ber of votes th a t one person could cast. The first contest held was for the election of “ The Most P o p u lar B o y ” in the H igh School. The different classes held meetings and elected th e ir candidates as follows: Senior, F rancis F e lty ; Ju n io r, A rth u r G reen, Sophomore, W infred P age; Freshm an, Jam es W hite; Sub-Freshm an, F re d Felty. The contest lasted for a week. On all corners could be seen the d if ferent classmen electioneering for their candidate. The voting box was the center of attraction and everyone was enthusiastic. F rid a y afternoon the box was opened and it was found th a t the Sophomore candidate, W in fred Page, had won by a large m ajority, w ith the F reshm an candidate second and the sub-Freshman candidate third. The proceeds from this contest amounted to $21.00. The next contest held was the “ G irls’ P opularity C ontest.” The nom inees were as follows: Senior, Charlotte M ansfield; Ju n io r, H allie M oody; Sophomore, Lucile Johnson; Freshm an, K atherine D ouglas; Sub-Freshm an, Jessie Saunders. Again the different classmen boosted for th eir nominees. On F rid a y tne results were again announced. Hallie Moody, the Ju n io r nominee, had won. The Freshm an class were discouraged and made known th e ir p u r pose to get the other contests. The proceeds were $75.00. The next contest held was for the election of ‘ ‘ The Most Handsome Boy.” The nominees were as follows: Senior. Julius. K nauth : Ju n io r, Raney Bost; Sophomore, John K e rr; Freshm an, Charles Q uast; SubFreshman, George Hall. I t was the most eventful contest held. A t d if ferent intervals someone relieved the voting box of its contents. E ach time the box was looted, the Seniors had more votes than any other class. B ut the Seniors became discouraged and slackened th eir voting, allowing the Freshm an candidate, Charles Quast, to be elected by a small m ajority, w ith the Seniors second, and the Juniors third. The proceeds am ounted to $24. The

Beauty Contest

caused rivalry, which no one in school thought

P a g e E ig h ty -S ix

to exist. Each class became perfectly confident th a t their candidate should he elected. The Seniors, being tired of defeat, decided th a t they m ust p u t th e ir candidate “ over the to p .” There were various rum ors as to the am ount of votes th a t the Sophomores had. The Ju n io rs were also p u ttin g u p a strong fight. B u t the Seniors acted a t the last minute, borrowing $75 from the bank and $25 from p rivate individuals. The contest closed with Clodell True, the Senior candidate, leading by twice the amount of votes of h er nearest rival, the Ju n io r nominee. The Sophomore candidate was th ird , being close to second. The proceeds of this contest were $365, making a total of $485, cleared from the B eauty and P o p u larity Contests.

Burkburnett, 6; Grandfield, 0. Septem ber 23, a t B u rk b u rn ett, the football season was ushered in by a default game, which was won by B urkburnett. The B u rk b u rn ett team from the s ta rt easily outclassed th eir opponents and showed their superiority in the second quarter, when E d g ar Taylor made th e first touchdown of the season. Shortly a fte r the second “ kick o ff” an argum ent, or squabble,’ came up, and a fte r arg u in g fo r about an hour an d a half the Grandfield coach called his players off the field and forfeited the game to B urkburnett, Score 6 to 0. Burkburnett, 7; Graham, 54. Septem ber 24, a t Graham,, we were defeated, b u t fo r several good rea sons. F irs t, our boys h ad played the d ay before and were sore and stiff. Second, ou r boys rode 97 miles in automobiles to Graham, and they were tired out when th ey got th e re ; th eir pep andi vigor were missing. Third, our team was playing against a much larger, and stronger team than they, b u t we were not whitewashed, for E d Taylor made a touchdown in the th ird q u arte r and C aptain Green kicked goal. Burkburnett, 33; Iowa Park, 12. Septem ber 30, at B u rkburnett. They came, they saw, they were con quered. W ith plenty of pep our boys easily outclassed the Iowa P ark football team. In the second q u arter P e rry Logan, B urkburnett q u arter back, was taken out on account of injuries, and Kiker, rig h t end, was sub stitu ted fo r P e rry at qu arter. Iowa P a r k ’s touchdowns were made in the second and th ird q uarters, while B u rk b u rn ett made two in the first, one in the second, one in the th ird , and one in the fourth. The playing of Edw ard Stevenson, B u rk b u rn ett fullback, stood out brilliantly, and the team as a whole played excellent. Burkburnett, 0; Henrietta, 6. October 8, at H enrietta, the teams were nearly evenly matched, and time and tim e again the heavy H en rietta backfield would plunge at Burkburnett-’s line, which stood like a stone, wall u n til the last minute of p la t, when the left side of the line gave way fo r the touchdown, which defeated us.. Burkburnett, 0; Wichita Falls, 7. October 15, a t B urkburnett. This game -was full of thrills from the. blowing of the first whistle u n til the blowing of the last. The B urkburnett

October 29, at Iowa P ark. The plucky little Iowa P a rk machine was defeated in a hard fougiht game by failure to kick goal afte r they had made a touchdown. L. D. H arding scored one touchdown and C aptain G reen kicked the winning m arker with his educated toe. Burkburnett, 27; Iowa Park, 14. November 4, at B urkburnett. The Iowa P ark boys were not satisfied with two defeats to their credit, and they decided th a t they would take one more shot a t us. The B urkburnett boys showed u p well and the fo rw ard pass was worked to a good extent on both sides. C aptain G reen’s contribu tion to this game was three touchdowns, and three goals a fte r touchdowns. The team as a whole played well. Burkburnett, 0; American Legion, 13. November 11, a t B urkburnett. This was one of the h ard est fought games of the season, and it was full of thrills from s ta rt to finish. A t the end of the first half neither side had scored, b u t in the th ird q u a rte r the heavy ex-service men got down to business and p u t over two touchdowns th a t won the game. W hen the last whistle blew the H igh School boys had the ball on the Legion’s 15 yard line, and in the fo rm er’s possession. Burkburnett, 0; Hastings, ,0. November 18, at B urkburnett. The second battle of H astings was in decisive. The H astings boys were good, clean sports, and the ball was in mid-field most of the time, b u t ju st before the game ended the H astings crowd had the ball on our 5-yard line, but our boys stood like a concrete wall and held them for dow ns; B u rkburnett then kicked out of danger arid the game ended. Burkburnett, 6; Burkburnett All-Stars, 26. November 24, a t B urkburnett. This A ll-Star team was practically the same team th at played us Armistice day, only they were under the auspices of the American Legion then. They scored a touchdown in each of the four quarters, but missed two' goals afte r touchdowns. In the last q u a rte r B urkburnett H igh scored their touchdown on a long forw ard pass and a

The first few games were lost but since the last few have been won it would seem th a t the team is improving, and th a t it is likely to come out well in the e n d .v The games whielj’ have been played have been against some of the strongest teams in this section and in spite of those defeats we are proud of our boys. They have always reflected honor on our school in every branch of sport by their sportsm anlike conduct. The line-up of the team is as follows: Catchers—H u b ert Jowell, E a rl Stivers and F ran k Hood. P itchers— P e rry Logan, A rth u r Green, Richard Coder, Ed Steph ens, M anning Bowler, C liff Underwood and W illie Kirk. F irs t Base—M anning Bowler.
