THEN AND NOW
By MARY KATHERINE LYLE
The first graduating class in 1911 consisted of four
members. Then the new red school building was first open-
ed. Before that there were five grades in one room with
carpenter-made benches and tables—tables used instead of
desks. There was a barrel of water and an old tin dipper.
The football squad consisted of eleven or twelve members.
There was no pep squad as it was considered unladylike to
yell. The social life consisted of an occasional box supper or
ice cream supper. There was also a reading circle. There
were 16'/a affiliated credits.
The graduating class now consists of about 45 members
The school building is a three-story brick with all the mod-
em conveniences, running water, electric lights, etc. The
football squad consists of about 35 members—plenty of
bench warmers now. There is a basketball team and a track
team that is also worthy of mention. The social life now is
quite extensive. There are picnics, parties, plays, banquets,
and class days. There are 271/s» affiliated credits now.
AT THE CROSS ROADS
By FRANK WOFFORD
You to the left and I to the right,
For the ways of men must sever—
And it well may be for a day and a night,
And it well may be forever.
But whether we meet or whether we part,
(For our ways are past our knowing),
A pledge from the heart to its fellow heart
On the ways we all are going!
Here’s luck!
For we know not where we are going.
May I use the above in bidding farewell to dear old S.
H. S. The first line is a perfect quotation for this occasion.
With all good things there must be some bad and sure
enough here it is.
We are standing at the crossroads that lead to either
success or failure. We know not where we are going but are
hoping that wherever it goes that it will turn out for the
best.
Next year we will be out trying to make the best of our
opportunities which to some are very few. In future life we
may by some chance or other meet again. We can then re-
call the wonderful time we have witnessed. We can’t tell
what we will be doing for no one but time can tell that.
In parting I have chosen the last verse of that wonder-
ful poem that reads:
With a steady swing and an open brow
We have tramped the ways together,
But we’re clasping hands at the crossroads now
In the Fiend’s own night for weather;
And whether we bleed or whether we smile
The ways of life are many a mile
And the dark of Fate is o’er us.
Here’s luck!
And a cheer for the dark before us!
Shamrock Band—
(Continued from xage 1)
that the El Reno organization will
be at the convention has not been
received yet by the convention di-
rectors.
33, Guy Hill, secretary of the
chamber of commerce, announced
this week after the lofctd group had
been selceted by N. S. Griggs, chair-
man of the highway department of
the Amarillo chamber of commerce.
Besides the thirty-two members
of the band, Shamrock will send a
large delegation of business men
and local citizens who are Inter-
ested In making the trip. The
Shamrock delegation Is expected to
be one of the largest at the con-
vention this year.
Last year the 66 Convention was
held In Shamrock.
Many Interesting plans are being
made for the entertainment of del-
egates and visitors during the stay
In Amarillo. The plans Include
two trips to be sponsored by the
chamber of commerce of that city:
one through the scenic Palo Duro
Canyon which may soon become a
national park, and the other a
visit to the new West Texas His-
torical Society Museum on the
campus of West Texas State Teach-
ers College at Canyon, where relics
of the early Panhandle days may
be found.
Besides the Irish band, which
will be bedecked In the brilliant
green and gold uniforms, several
other bands will be at the 66 Con-
vention. The El Reno Highway 86
band is the official band of the
association, but the Shamrock mu-
sicians will be the official conven-
tion band. Definite information

INFORMAL PROGRAM
AS COMMENCEMENT
FOR JUNIOR HIGH
FACULTY WISHES TO AVOID
EXPENSE, YET HONOR
GRADUATE LIST
By FRANK WOFFORD
The junior high school will not
have a formal commencement ex-
ercise, according to M. S. Kava-
naugh, principal. “At the present
time we feel that it would be very
unwise to burden parents with the
expense that would accompany an
occasion of this nature,” he said.
“However, we do not wish to min-
imize the importance of junior
high school graduation.
“This day marks the completion
of seven years of work; an event
that will possibly never be repeated
In the life history of the student.
With this fact in view, we have
arranged a programme that will do
Justice to the occasion and at the
same time avoid the usual gradua-
tion expense.”
Friday, May 19, at 9:45 a. m.,
students will assemble In their
home rooms. At the sound of the
bell they will march to the audi-
torium where the following pro-
gramme will be rendered: Song, by
the school: Invocation, Rev. Smith;
address, Judge Clark; awarding of
diplomas; song, by the school;
benediction, Rev. Jameson. Every
one Is Invited and we hope that it
will be convenient for all of the
parents of the graduates to be
present. All students will wear
their school clothing.
Diplomas will be awarded the
following students: Almarene At-
kinson, James Baumgardner, Gor-
don Bergman, J. C. Bones. Juanita
Blount, Maxine Childers, Estelle
