A Student Speaks
GOOD-BYE SENIORS
Although we do say ‘Good Bye’
to the Seniors of 1942, they shall
always be remembered. Every-
one will remember: Robert K.
and his knack with the girls;
Morris and his mischievousness
in Algebra class; Janys and Adele
and their “friends” from Moun-
tain Home; and many other
things.
As a school we will miss them
very much, especially their
friendship and kindness. We wish
them lots of luck in their future
careers.

MAY I PRESENT ...
ALENE WENDEL, Senior
Alene is a heavy-set, blue-eyed
blonde. She is a good sport and
has a pleasing personality and a
winning smile for everyone.
Alene was 'born April 9, 1925,
eight miles northwest of Harper.
She started to school at the age
of seven and must have been
extra smart because she made
two grades the first year. Her
school years have been spent at
Flat Rock and Harper. Alene is
now president of her class, was
president during her junior year,
and is now president of the Home-
making Club.
She studied piano about two
years ,and is an accomplished
pianist now. Her goal in life is to
be a Registered Nurse serving in
the army or navy. We all wish
her the oest of luck.
Hi-Lights To Be Hid
Under A Bushel For
The Summer
The Harper Hi-Lights is pub-
lishing this week its last copy of
this school year. Volume 1, Num-
ber 12 (it would have been the
fateful thirteen had it not been
for one busy week some time
ago!) concludes the work of the
present staff.
Especially do we thank Mr.
Dietel for his kindness in accept-
ing our copy—blurred, blue-pen-
ciled, un-journalistic, and even
two stories on the same even
for one issue—and turning it out
as readable, well-printed material.
The staff and sponsor wish to
thank all who have had a part
in providing the news copy—and
those who have made news.
(EDITOR’S NOTE—It has been
a pleasure, indeed, to have had
the privilege of publishing the
weekly issue of the Harper High-
lights since the school paper was
re-instated in the Herald for the
past twelve weeks. It is our sin-
ere hope that when school recon-
venes three months hence, after
the summer vacation is over, that
the teachers and students of the
school will again wish to renew
their weekly contribution and Hi-
Lights section.
No other one thing can bind a
community, and especially its
school, so closely together as the
weekly contribution of the high
school students. At the same time
it reflects the progress of. the
school, the achievements of the
student body, and work of the
various school functions and ac-
tivities, and, at times, the work of
the individual student as portray-
ed in essays, themes, poems and
other forms of literature, as sub-
mitted to the teachers.
The publisher wishes to express
his sincere thanks to the student
body for their cooperation and
interest shown in the Hi-Lights,
*nd especially to the Hi-Lights
staff and to Miss LaVelle Haw-
kins, the sponsor, under whose
guiding hands the school section
of the Herald has been a pro-
nounced success. — Norman J.
Dietel, Publisher.)

ADELE SCARBOROUGH, Senior
Adele is a brown-eyed blonde
with a pleasing personality. She
wears her beaming smile every
day.
Adele was born in Harper, Dec.
26,1925, now being sweet sixteen.
She was salutatorian of her gram-
mar school class, president of the
class during her sophomore year,
in homemaking two years, and
is now Sweetheart of the Stick
Club.
She has the peculiarity of being
able to work better when she
is angry than any other time.
Her pet aversion is gossipers, and
nosey people. Her favorite movie
stars are Robert Taylor and Lana
Turner. She has an unusual hob-
by of collecting walking canes.
After her graduation Adele
plans to become a secretary, and
we wish her a great success.

Snooper Says Summer
Plans Varied and
Vague
The best snooper of the school
unearthed some of the vacation
plans of both students and teach-
ers. Most of them are not definite
(what would be with Uncle Sam
talking of drafting the women
and school boys for labopas well
as for the army?), but every one
of the plans seems to include
some idea of fun.
Lora: Brownwood. You know
what beautiful scenery there is
and what a lovely place the lake
is. (Oh, yes, and we know there
is an army camp there!)
Evelyn: A. and M. would be
all right if Hilmar were there.
Madge: Davis Mountains or
with cousin Joann K. (She can’t
make up her mind.)
Dorothy Nell: Staying at home
would be all right if Tom stayed
in the community.
Inez: Just any place where I
can have a good time.
Miss Davidson: Abilene. (P.S.
There’s an army camp there, too)
Doris: Going to school would
be all right. (We wonder why.
Is R. K. going off to college that
soon?)
Virgil: Going fishing on Devil’s
river, I guess.
Mr. Hopf: Just any place—
where there is plenty to eat.
Adele: A nice, quiet, peaceful
summer at home v/ill suit me.
Ira Bell: I’ll get a job if I can.
(Nice work if you can get it—
and we’ll bet you can get it!)
Miss Hawkins: In a bomber—
plant!
Mister: Get ready for school
again.
Max Wayne: In some dance
hall—at least now and then.
Janys: I’ll get ready to go to
Corsicana . . . and school.
Harold: Baseball, fishing, or
Dallas will do.
Robert: I’ll hardly work at
home.
Minda Faye: The climate in
Harlingen is swell . . . (and so
is a sergeant there, we hear.)
Miss Bevill: I’ll go home and
see my mother and dad for a
while. Later I may get a job.
Miss Reed: I’m going to sleep
and sleep and sleep.
Mr. Smith: I’ll stay home and
teach David to play baseball.

Lora Sageser Enter-
tains With Formal
Party
Lora Sageser entertained the
Juniors, Seniors, and the girls
who served at the banquet with
a formal party, given at her
home. It was given last Friday
night.
The glittering candle lights on
the register table, together with
the other surrounding, made a
very impressive scene. After all
the guests had arrived, and had
placed their autograph in the lit-
tle book on the table, they enjoy-
ed themselves in a game of cards,
forty-two, or Chinese checkers
The hostess and her mother serv-
ed delicious refreshments after
which there was dancing. Every-
one seemed to enjoy the evening
greatly.
—Adele Scarborough
CLASS PROPHESY
Now before too much will be said
Let’s look in on the ’42 Seniors
instead.
The time is ten years far into
space—
Ah! But we recognize each sen-
ior’s face.
First, let’s stop in Washington,
D. C.
Sure, there’s Adele taking dic-
tation on her boss’s knee
We always said she’d make a
good secretary.
Next, let’s stop in New York
City; Oh, that’s fine:
Dorothy is an airplane hostess
who is always on time,
And she is one of the best we’re
told.
Oh, now, Chicago plainly comes
in view;
Tom is piloting a flying fort-
ress, which is more than we
can do.
We certainly have to look up to
him.
Here in Chicago in the largest
hospital, we see '
Head nurse Janys performing
her duties to a T.
Doesn’t she look pretty in her
white uniform?
Now to Dear Old Texas, The Lone
Star State—
Oh, there’s Calvin leaning on
that corral gate;
He is one of the most successful
ranchers in Texas.
' Y
In a big law office in San Antonio,
There sits Alice beside the tele-
phone;
She is head secretary of the busi-
ness.
West of the Pecos, Walter is fore-
man of a ranch
And is courtin’ a young farm-
erette named Blanche;
I think he will soon win her.
Morris is building a bridge ac-
ross the Ohio,
And Mrs. Bode is the cutest
little Oh My, Oh!
He is doing fine with his civil
engineering.
Among the best mechanics we
find J. B.
Now he is in Nashville, Tenne-
see.
We hope he can put things back
together he takes apart.
In a city in Texas, Galveston by
name,
We find Alene, a doctor well on
her way to fame.
She makes you take your mede-
cine and like it.
At A. and M. Robert is the best
agriculture teacher in town—
That guy just couldn’t be kept
down.
Yes,, he is still doing all right
with the girls.
. -... : • .i- :
Rose is a secretary in the Dear
Aid Sunny South,
And that she’s one of the best
there isn’t a doubt—
She always knows the right
things to say.
Now that we have seen them all,
our visit is over;
It seems as if they all will be in
four leaf clover.
Seems Mr. Hopf surely likes
to light the stives in the PI. E.
room. Couldn’t be that they feed
him the scraps?
Audrey Mae, you spend your
time in the study halls primping.
Is someone beating Bunny’s
time?
- (censored) you were-
n’t the belle of the party at Lora’s
were you?
Janys was rather happy at the
thought of her last year in school.
Are you now?
Alene’s interest in the Navy is
increasing. Is it that certain
someone getting all the principle?
Miss Davidson said her great-
est thrill would be when school
is out and she can retire from
teaching algebra. When will that
be?
Bonnie, Dayton didn’t have
trouble traveling the roads last
week end, or did you know that
already?
Audrey Mae is really getting
blue. Morris is leaving June first.
That explains her singing the
“Gone and Left Me” blues.
Virgil’s heart attack was sud-
den. You see, Joann got hold of
a note he wrote to one of his
other (many) girl friends.

Max Wayne still thinks Opal
June is as much trouble as a corn

We wonder why Minda Faye
had such a big smile on her face
Monday morning when she got
on the bus.
Wonder why Bonnie Jo didn’t
invite Charles to the party Thurs-
day night. Was it because she
couldn’t go home with Kathryn.
Mary Francis, gosip surely
does spread, especially on the
bus.
Don’t mind our asking, Evelyn

“Don’t Sit Under the Apple
Tree” was selected as the Song of
this week.
“Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree”
Don’t sit under the apple tree
with anyone else but me,
Anyone else but me, no, no, no,
Don’t sit under the apple tree
with anyone else but me,
Till I come marching home.
I’ve just got word from a guy
who heard
From a guy next door to me.
The girl he met, just loved to
pet and it suits you to a tee.
Don’t go walking down lover’s
lane
With anyone else but me,
Anyone else but me,
Anyone else but me. No, no, no
Don’t go walking down lover’s
lane with anyone else but me,
Till I come marching home.
I told the gang, the whole shi-
bang,
That you were true to me.
They rushed right out and came
right back,
With a photograph of you.
So don’t go walking down lover’s
lane with anyone else but me,
Till I come marching home.

TO HELP YOU
MAKE YOUR CAR LAST
^s one of America’s
m important oil compan-
ies, our big job is to supply
/
great quantities of high-grade gasoline
and lubricants to our fighting forces.
This is now being done to an extent
beyond the imagination of anyone not
familiar with the facts.
Our second important job is to see
that the great army of commercial and
civilian automobiles stay fit and con-
tinue to run so long as it is humanly
possible to keep them operating.
Magnolia Dealers
Know How To
Keep Cars Fit
For years the Magnolia Petroleum
Company conducted Service Schools
where Mag'nolia Dealers learned the
most efficient methods of lubricating
and servicing an automobile. Today,
this knowledge stands as a second-line
defense to keep America’s automobiles
running.
As a direct result of this specialized
training, many of our former dealers
now serving in the armed forces, are
using their knowledge to splendid ad-
vantage in helping to maintain our new
mechanized Army, the Navy and the
Air Forces. Those who are left at
home have the knowledge and the
ability to train new employees.
Service Meetings
To meet the present emergency,
Service Meetings are now being con-
ducted at key centers throughout Tex-
as, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and
New Mexico to school Magnolia Deal-
ers in new methods and new services
to make your car last longer. Hun-
dreds of Dealers who attend these
“post-graduate” courses go hack to
their own neighborhood stations, equip-
ped to help you squeeze every last mile
of service from your automobile.
It is your patriotic duty to take
care of your car. As long as it con-
tinues to run, it is a national asset that
cannot be replaced until this war: is
over.
