er of ceremonies. The program con-
sisted of guitar duet by the Scog-
gin sisters, acrobats by Tiny Nicho-
las, song by Frances Frye, reading

students given by Mr. Estes.
After the program a drawing was
held and Sammie Ruth Wiggington

prize of fifty cents. The Junior Class
wishes to thank every student for
attending our program.
Ave Roma!

“the eternal city”, will be celebrated

ward to a most delightful time,

Thursday, April 17.
The girls visited the following
places: Swift and Co., Armour’s, Mrs.
Beard’s Bakery, Pangburn’s Ice
cream and Candy Factory, and
King’s Candy Factory. The girls en-
joyed the trip very much, although,
the weather was very disagreeable.
Mrs. Baird’s Bakery was espe-
cially courteous to us in that a room
was cleared for us to eat lunch in.
The men brought in chairs, tables,
and there was a fountain nearby.
We appreciated this very much.
The following girls made the trip:
Mary Alice Ballow, Mamye Ruth
Barber, Frances Barton, Mary Ruth
Blakey, Frances Bondurant, Charl-
sie Bradshaw, Mildred Bruce, Mrs.
Howard Butler, Jane Butler, Mari-

We hope that next year’s group

Miss Bounds To
Entertain Faculty
On Thursday, April 28th, Miss
Bounds is to entertain the lady fac-
ulty members with a picnic. They
were to have this party April 22nd,
but due to the rain it was postponed.
We heard that Miss Boswell had
been keeping her fingers crossed in
hope that it would rain because she
could not be present that day.
All the teachers are to cook their
supper on a creek at Miss Bound’s
home—So we wish you luck and
lots to estt* ' « _ v ^
Weatherford High School was well
represented in the district Interscho-
lastic r League Meet in Ft. Worth.
Winners in the County Meet were
eligible to enter this meet and try
for places in the Regional Meet held
in Denton. In the literary events,
Dorothy Smith won high school Jun-
ior Girls Declamation in the district,
placing third in the regional meet.
Lenore Kebelman placed second in
the shorthand contest and Rosa Lee
Miller placed second in the typing
contest in the, district meet. Eddie
Means, entering in the 100 yard dash
and the 220 yard dash, won a second
and a first place, respectively, in
the track events. The one-act play
cast, composed of Ann Curry, Le-
nore Kebelman, Edwin Ross, and
Fenn Leach, placed second to the
capable players from Paschal High
of Fort Worth.
The regional meet at Denton, made
up of the districts from Fort Worth,
Dallas, Wichita Falls, and Waco,
provided a world of stiff competi-
tion for all entrants. About five
hundred school girls and boys gath-
ered from all over the North Central
part of Texas to represent their
schools in the various literary and
athletic events. From all of this
galaxy of students, there emerged
only a small percentage of winners,
in comparison to the number of
entrants. Eddie Means, running
well against stiff competition Sat-
urday morning, qualified in both of
his events. In the afternoon he ran
fifth in the 100 yard dash, when
Johnson of North Dallas set a new;
regional record of 10 seconds flat.
In the 220 yard dash, Eddie ran
fourth, also finishing behind the
same Johnson.
These places were the only places
that any representative of Weather-
ford High won at the regional meet,
but taking into consideration the
amount and type of competition, we
were fortunate in taking these
places.
Snooks: “Not married yet, Joe?”
Joe^ “No”
Snooks: “But. I thought you had
serious intentions in that direction.”
Joe: “I had but the evening I in-
tended to propose Lenore told me
she loved Browning, Kipling, and
Shelly. Now what a chance do I
have with a girl who is in love with
three other, fellows?”

Chapel Program
On Tuesday, April 12, Mr. Cham-
bers presented the beautiful blue
and white satin banner which our
Senior High School won as a prize
for selling the most tickets to the
Weatherford vs. Newcastle game.
We are doubly proud of this banner
because our Home Economic’s girls
made it.
After the presentation, Mr. Stumpp
and the high school band gave a
concert, ■■ ■
On April 22nd, a pay chapel was
sponsored by the Annual Staff of
W. H. S. The students were enter-
tained a full hour by “A Magic Man”
El Roy.
He performed many very inter-
esting and mysterious tricks. Among
his best was a trick he did, assisted
by Junior Thomas; another very in-
teresting trick was when the “suck-
ers” were assisting him. (Audine
and Mary Etta)
This program was enjoyed by
everyone and we wish to thank El
Roy for the wonderful performance
and the Annual Staff for sponsor-
ing this ideal program.
