H IG H SCHOOL BUILDING

Past and Present ( W ith In d e b te d n e s s to M rs. W . M. M a jo rs)

In the year 1908, just sixteen years ago, the first school was held in Burkburnett. There was no school property, but through the kind ness of one of the citizens, a small house on Sixth Street was used as school, church, court house, lodge house and city hall. The school term lasted from Novem ber to April. There were five pupils at the beginning and seventy at the close of the term. One teacher taught all grades. In August of the next year a four-room fram e structure was erected on the present Grammar School campus. There were four teachers em ployed. This building was used until 1911 when the first brick building, that now used for the primary, was built. I h is was one of the greatest undertakings ever put over in Burkburnett. The cost seem ed enormous for so sm all a town. The school auditorium was used for all entertainm ents, and was a great gathering place for the people of the surrounding country. The school continued to grow and in 1914 the first commencement exercises w ere held. There were five members in that graduating class. During the early era of the school life the Primary Department was in charge of Miss Ella Powers. Miss Powers was a fine teacher and really deserves credit for a great m easure of the success of the Primary Departm ent. During the great upheaval of the boom, the high school was small. Many pupils w ent to W ichita Falls or elsew here to school. A fter affairs becam e quieted, the school life progressed, but the buildings were very crowded. In 1919 the old High School building, now used by the grade schools, and also the former fram e Hardin School building were erected. The schools continued to grow and expand until in 1922 the pres ent brick building was built to accom odate Hardin School, and in Septem ber 1922 work w as started on our new High School Building, of which we are so proud. The auditorium was used for com m ence ment in the spring of 1923, and the building was opened September 10, 1923, to begin its first school sem ester. As the schools of Burkburnett have grown in the past, and are growing in the present, let them continue to grow in the future, so that they may rank am ong the forem ost schools of the state and nation.

Senior Poem The road of each m an’s destiny W inds side by side with another. They may cross and go we know not where, And some be lost forever. Our roads have run along together For four short years or m ore; But now w e ’ve come to the parting W here the roads are divided asunder. A long the w ay w e’ve come, Are many pleasant memories; The folks w e’ve met, the sm iles w e’ve seen, The joys w e’ve had together. Long w ill these linger in our hearts, Nor w ill they be forgotten Till the roads of Destiny lead us To the banks of the dark blue river. W hat lies in the w ay before us No one has eyes to see; But each has dreams of w hat will come And each sees golden visions. One youth’s road w ill lead to fam e, Another may w ander to distant lands, And one perhaps to a happy home And one to bitter sorrow. Perhaps, for strange are the ways of the goddess, The roads of our lives wTill lead us Through devious ways and different paths, Back again together. ADELLE PARSONS.

Freshman Poem To the halls of dear old Burk Hi, In the fall of ’23, Came a crowd of merry freshmen, Happy, gay and free. You may talk about the wise ones Whose heads swell so with pride, They seem so dreadful learned. Still— we wonder what’s inside. You may talk about the Juniors, Of their great and marvelous deeds, Who point us ever onward. And help us in our needs. You may talk about the Sophies— Braggarts, every on e; They’ll wish they hadn’t spoken Long ere this race be run. But, Oh! Tell me of the Freshmen, Of the laurels that they wear; For the teachers prove things by them, While the Sophies tear their hair. Freshman class, we do extol th e e ! Of all classes thou are best; And in wisdom, strength and morals Thou hast always stood the test. Thus through life we will continue, As in High School days, to be Valiant, strong, and e’er victorious, That the world our worth may see. — CHIQUITA GRENNELL.

Senior Sunrise Breakfast On Septem ber 8, the Seniors enjoyed a delightful sunrise break fast. This w as the first entertainm ent of the year and was more of a “get acquainted” affair. A t five o’clock, the jolly crowd with their sponsor, departed for the river, arriving just as the sun began to rise. H alf an hour later, breakfast was ready. A fter the morning feast, much merriment was afforded with the playing of gam es and a delightful hour w as spent in taking snapshots before the return home.

Junior-Senior Sunrise Breakfast Those who happen to live near the Central Ward may not need to be told that the Juniors entertained the Seniors with a sunrise breakfast October 2, 1923. Perhaps the Seniors and Juniors had rather call it a m oonlight breakfast from the yaw ns that were in evidence about four o’clock. A few minutes after that tim e about forty pupils of each class were on their way to the M agnolia Pump Station. On arriving at the park, glow ing camp fires welcom ed the gay party. Hot coffee fum es added a zest to the crisp morning air, and w hile the chickens broiled, many merry gam es were played notwithstanding the heavy dew and dampness. As the sun came up, the boys and girls and their sponsors made merry around the morning feast of chicken, buns, fresh tomatoes, fruit and coffee. More gam es were enjoyed after the breakfast and at ten o’clock every one departed for their homes.

Senior-Junior Hallowe’en Party Mid the gay decorations of orange and black streamers, black paper cats, and witches, pumpkins and cornstalks, the Seniors enter tained the Juniors and the entire faculty with a Hallowe’en party, Sat urday evening, October 28. The gym was beautifully decorated and served as the reception room. Here the guests assembled. At 8:30 they were made to tremble with the terrible announcement that they were to be led through Hades. According to the participants, the experience was awful. Blue Beard’s Cave was next explored and then the old Witch opened the door of a room and announced that she would tell fortunes. Under her little tent and with a large black cauldron steaming in front of it, she presented a weird, but thrilling picture. Popcorn balls and apples were passed at 10:30 and then several interesting ghost stories were told by the guests. At eleven o’clock, to the tune of “National Emblem”, every one marched to the cafeteria where a delicious refreshment course was served. Speeches and songs were enjoyed wth the refreshment. At the close of the evening’s enjoyment, Mr. Hogg and the president of the Junior class thanked the Seniors for the wonderful time they had. i

Senior Thanksgiving Picnic The Thanksgiving Holidays were welcomed enthusiastically by the Seniors, who planned an all-day outing on the river the 30th. By ten o’clock, they were on their way; some of the cars loaded with khaki clad boys and knickered girls, others with chaperones and still others with myriads of sacks and boxes filled with delicious “eats.” Upon arriving at the destination, every one joyfully raced for the sand and there a big game of football ensued. The girls put up a good fight and were playing real football, in spite of their inexperience, until Center Bowler fell into the river. The game was then postponed until later in the day owing to the dampening of the girls’ spirits— not to mention Center Bowlers. Baseball was the next game played. No real misfortunes happen ed in this, but as Pitcher Pace was making one of his “curves”, the ball accidentally missed Maxine’s bat and hit the catcher in the face. At 12:30 dinner was served. Such a hungry bunch it was that gathered around the feast. The sandwiches, salad, pickles, olives, fruit and cakes began to disappear like magic. After dinner, more games were played and at four o’clock every one started for home amid such exclamations as: “What a wonderful day,” or “Such a delightful tim e.” And indeed it was.

Sophomore Class Party The Soph’s first party was given January 1, 1924. They met in the auditorium at seven-thirty and a few minutes after that tim e were entertained with some clever tricks by Mr. Price, as the first number in the evening’s entertainm ent. Queechy Childress then favored them with a reading. A t eight-thirty they repaired to the gym and the rem ainder of the evening w as spent in playing gam es. During that tim e, music was furnished by Thomas Van C leave’s victrola. At the close a delicious refreshm ent of hot chocolate, cake and fruit was served.

Leap Year Party Three popular young men of our High School entertained with a Leap Year party, Decem ber 31. Oran, George and Charley were the young men, and the party that they gave was w hat you m ight term a “H um dinger”. The girls were given the invitations and were told to m ake dates with the boys. A fter many protestations, the girls finally overcam e their embarrassment and m ade the dates. A fter every one had arrived, popular gam es were played, the Virginia Reel, however, was the general favorite of entertainment. At ten-thirty, the merry crowd, with their chaperones, Miss Hayes and Mrs. W. W. Grimes, departed for W ichita Falls to attend the m idnight m atinee at the Mission theatre. Despite the late hours, they m anaged to get home in tim e to go to school the next morning.

F. I. L. E. S. Entertained S. A. W. S. The F. I. L. E. S. entertained the S. A. W. S. with an old-fashioned picnic on Saturday, February 10th, at ten-thirty. They hiked from the school house to the river where O. H. and his speed wagon (?) had arrived wth food galore. Miss Gray received the party and lead them to “The Spring” on the Estes place. Immediately the hosts prepared a dinner, consisting of sandwiches, salads, deviled eggs, pickles, fruit, cakes and lemonade that no one will ever forget. During the hour that followed, a game of baseball, under the Captains Maxine and Beatrice, was played on the natural diamond of the river bed. Maxine’s group defeated by a small score. More food was passed around and after a general good time, a hike to town closed the entertainment. i

Senior Boys Entertain The boys of the Senior class entertained the girls with a weenie roast Saturday, February 3. The gang met at the High School building at 4:00 where the cars were waiting to take them to the picnic ground on the river near the Burk bridge. The boys had prepared firewood and made the camp comfortable. After an hour of very enjoyable sport, taking pictures, and an excellent crap game, where “Lefty” Bowler won the huge sum of ten cents from Senter Ford, the attention of the crowd was drawn to the firing of a pistol across the river. This pleasure was interrupted by the appearance of the owner of the land, who feared for the lives of his cattle, ordering them to move on. Joyfully they drove to Magnolia Pump Station, where the rest of the evening was spent in feasting and merry making beneath the light of lanterns around a roaring camp fire. Ewing Burney’s Buick decided it had rather not go and halted at Midway. The others followed suit and the boys were hosts to red soda pop and chewing gum, Miss Hayes consuming her just share. After repeated efforts Ewing’s Buick was persuaded to move on with a little aid from Sam S. Spencer’s Chalmers and a chain. The party arrived at home about 9:30.

YOU are a Capitalist! Did you ever stop to think of that? The word â&#x20AC;&#x153;capitalistâ&#x20AC;? refers to one who has wealth. Wealth does not always refer to money or to worldly goods. Good health is wealth and so is a sound mind. Good health and keen intellect are sometimes more valuable than gold. If you have good health and a workable brain you are a capitalist. A capitalist mixes good health and brains to accumulate material wealth. Are you using your capital for this purpose? The staunch oak grows from the tiny acorn. From small beginnings great fortunes have grown. This bank has watched with keen interest the efforts of a great many people who have used their capital. Will you let our experience be of service to you?

/ h e excellence of your school annual

depends upon the kind of organiza tion you perfect. A capable engraver and printer serve a most important part. But, the printer must yield to the engraver, for no printer, however good, can produce an artistic annual from inferior plates. C)roducing fine p rin tin g plates in one and more colors has won for us an enviable rep utation among printers and advertisers. The same helpful co-operation and artistic crafts manship enters into our school annual work, besides a sincere interest we have in seeing that your annual is a complete success. Our experience in this work and the careful study we have made of it is available to you in our comprehensive plan of successful an nual building. \ "14'rite today for our book !XJuilding a c/uccessfuk/^ inualIt’s yours for the askincc
