The Supremacy and Glory of

At one time Sidon sang of her |
majestic cities, Egypt told of her j jy|isses
universal supremacy, Greece brag-

recorded her magnificance. But
today there’s no marks of Sidon

was a pale pink rose. It had been
beautiful as a bud, but now with
the frost on it, it was exquisite.
The frost made it shine like a dia-
mond. As the frost began to dis-
appear the color of the rose began
to fade. Soon it had lost its
beauty of youth.
The leaves began to drop. A
sudden wind came sweeping by.
When it was gone, the rose was
tion for the work of the entire
team this year. The football boys
who are not to come back next year
expressed their regrets that they
would not be able to do so and told
how much they had enjoyed play-
ing for M. W. H. S. The boys
who will be with us next year pre-
dicted a good team for ’31. A
dance followed the program.

heard it said that Seniors think
they know everything. It is our
opinion that this could be truth-
fully said about this particular
Senior. Raymond has been an hon-
or student all through high school.
Earl Stevens—Earl is quiet but
very well liked. He has proven him-
self a real Mountaineer in his po-
sition as left tackle on the team
this year.
Miles Cunningham—The old high
school wont be the same without
Cunnie. He is a real Mountaineer
and is a friend to everyone who
knows him.
Elwood Smith—Elwood is one of
the few students of the High
School who has made a brilliant
record in grades and has gained
wide popularity in club work. He
is president of the Hi-Y club this
year.
Robert Herrin—Robert is a fav-
orite with the student body be-
cause of his witty cheerful nature.
He is also talented in music and is
a faithful member of the band.
Orph Osborne—We are expect-
ing Orph to make a name for
himself as a football star when he
leaves Mineral Wells. He is one of
the best guards the Mountaineer
Team has ever had.
Dot Dunn—“To know her is to
love her.” This can truly be said
of Dot. Her wonderful personality
has made her a favorite with both
teachers and students.
He is bashful, frail, tow-headed
—a little boy called Ophelia Hud-
dleston. It is true he is small in
size but if one wants a real inspir-
ation just have a few minutes chat
with him.
Ophelia is the youngest student
in high school, he will be thir-
teen February 25. Science is his
favorite subject, and he is taking
an English-science course.
This is Ophelia’s first year in
NEW STUDENTS
ENTER SCHOOL
Four Students Have Moved;
Three Are Athletes
Four students have withdrawn
| from Mineral Wells High School
this last week, but four new stu-
dents have entered.
Those who have withdrawn are
Ruben Bird, who played guard on
the football team. Gene Bird, who
was a promising star in basketball,
Our dashing young ad salesman,
Harold White, tried a Lindbergh
last week as he was waltzing
around the corner at the Palace
Drug in search of ads. His feet
left terra firma and he soon found
his frame work on the wet side
walk. Well, that’s like all of the

the waste paper baskets.
Also there have been several
books lost or stolen this year.
There are some books which have
been turned in at the office and
the students who have lost books
may inquire there.
The desks and chairs were gone
over before school and now several
of them have been marked on ox-
cut on. If any student is found in
such employment he will be requir-
ed to pay for the desk.
Students did very well the first
six weeks in regal’d to detention
hall. However, there are a few stu-
dents who persist in being tardy
every morning. Therefore Mr. Ross
has arranged a detention hall
which will start Monday, for all
students who are tardy. Students
who are tardy will not be admit-
ted to the library.
Several students have been get-
ting passes from a teacher to get
out of another teacher’s class.
This will not be allowed in the fu-
ture.
Mr. Ross l’equested that students
stay out of the inner office unless
they are called in there. The last
thing Mr. Ross reminded the stu-
dent body was that this is the last
six weeks and it is essential that
they do their best work in order to
be prepared for the mid-seamster
finals.
the Mineral Wells Schools. Hisij. r. Smith, who played on this
family moved here from Bennett,
Texas, this year. He has two sisters
and a brother in Travis School.
Even though he is too s;mall to
play on the football or basketball
teams he is much interested in
sports of all kinds, and his fav-
orite is swimming.
Possibly the only regret Ophelia
has to his size and extreme youth
s that he will not be able to
avenge himself when the Fresh-
men enter next year. We hope for
his sake that life in M. W. H. S.
agrees with him so well that he
grows much taller, gains a good
many pounds and is able to wield
a belt along the gauntlet line as
well as was administered to the
Fish this year.
The school is very proud of one
who has progressed so far at his
age and expect only the best from
him in the future.

Dallas, Texas, and Gwyne has mov-

The new students are Ruth and
