SENIORS PLAN THEIR
CAREERS
Now that the seniors of 1940
finishing their last few days in High
School, they have made plans for the
coming year. Some are going to col-
lege while others are fortunate
and
their fu-
a chef’s cap on his head and perched
high on a kitchen stool was Robert
Benson — peeling spuds. After a
while I learned that Robert Benson
was famed over the state for his po-
tato cookery. But it certainly sur-
prised me!
Just as-Robert and I had started a
conversation, in walked none other
than Marilyn Smith, in her own
words, the chief bottle washer, cork-
screw cleaner, and principal interior
decorator about the place. Marilyn
had just become the new manager of
the hotel and had great plans for the
future.
After completing my interviews, I
was rushing out of the hotel when I
bumped into a, shall I say, distin-
guished-looking gentleman? Gather-
ing my packages and parcels togeth-
er and picking myself up carefully,
I looked up and recognized Brazwell
Alexander. I decided to interview
him and learned that he had become
a contractor for oil wells and owned
a number himself. The diamond he
wore would save quite an electric bill
back in Whitewright.
Just as I started to leave once
more, I was again lambasted and
flabbergasted by a breathless woman
galloping into the room at break-
neck speed and yelling that the
building was on fire. It took not a
very long stretch of imagination to
recognize Margie Donaghey, the ex-
citement of the campus in the good
old days. Margie was a newspaper
reporter and had a nose ‘for news be-
fore it happened. c,
The fire sirens shrilled and soon
the building was filled with a mob of
excited, but quite efficient firemen.
The fire was soon quenched without
much damage and I was introduced
to the fire chief, none other than
James Norris. James looked very
and
bacco auction. I marvelled at the
jocile, rowdy, loud-mouthed auction-
eer who could not be quiet or still for
a second. Asking his name, I found
that he was Joe Magers.
The next house proved to be the
residence of one Leslie Andrew.
“Nukie” had won the distinction of
being the winner of a race at the
Olyymics the year before.
I was now getting in the country in
my survey. Coming to an airport, I
saw a ship just landing. Twyman
White proved to be the pilot, Cath-
leen Blackerby, its- hostess, and the
notable travellers aboard were Eula
Mae Lambden, the heiress to $20,-
000,000, and Dorothy Booher, a
jeweler in the city.
My next stop, was a
looking farm. This was the summer
home of Rudalph Russell who had a
good job with the Department of Ag-
riculture.
I passed a billboard with the pic-
ture of a beautiful woman on it. This
was Louise McSpedden, world-
famed photographer’s model.
In the next town I met a person I
had not expected to see, Dorthell
Cowen. She and two other girls,
Ruby Pierson and Fredna Owen,
were nurses in a big hospital.
That night as I was looking
through the newspaper, I turned to
the sports page and saw a face that
looked somehow familiar. Reading
the details, I learned that Modene
Vineyard had become the United
States’ tennis champion of 1960.
Turning to the next page, I recog-
nized Marjorie Henderson as the girl
smiling at me from a toothpaste ad-
vertisement.
And somehow as I drifted to sleep
that night, Marjorie’s smile seemed
to symbolize the spirit of the
graduating class—rejoicing in
past, reveling in the present,
looking forward eagerly to the
ture.
The next place at which I stopped
fashionable dine-and-dance
club. Since I was very hungry, I de-
cided to lunch there. While waiting
for lunch to be served, I noticed two
attractive women sitting at an adja-
cent table. I made so bold as to ask
their their names and learned that
they were Irene Mitchell and Beulah
Mae Scott, the well-known designers
of the clothes worn by the screen
stars, Martha Jo Darwin and Dru-
nette Farley.
At the table, my interest was taken
by a lady sitting across the table
from me. She was very distinguished
looking and I decided to interview
her after lunch. A man nearby told
me’ that she was Imogene Head, vice-
president of the Ting-A-Ling Tele-
phone Company.
A couple sitting two tables down
also attracted my attention. The
gentleman Had an ah' of being some
one important and the lady with him
resembled someone I remember as* a
junior of 1940. A lady told me they
were Mr. and Mrs. Milam Wallace, or
more informally Howard and Bobs.
Idly I began to watch the dancers
nearby. A beautiful lady was danc-
ing gaily with a person resembling a
gigolo. The couple were evidently
professionals. The lady, easily recog-
nized as Claire Doss, did not notice
that her necklace had slipped off her
neck and slid to the floor. I reached
forward to retrieve it for her, but a
man reached from behind some
bushes and got it. The lady soon
noted the loss and bedlam reigned.
Her escort, Willie B. Smith, called
the police. Doyle Alexander, the
detective, soon captured the crook,
who proved to be Donald Hudgins.
Well, we would never have guessed.
Traveling on, I soon came to a to-
some have not decided on
ture course.
Modene Vinyeard and
Henderson are going to a
college in Dallas.
Those going to Denton
College are Martha Jo Darwin
Merlyn Brown to major in home eco-
nomics; Claire Doss, Imogene Head
and Emma Joyce Hinton plan to ma-
jor in business administration.
Rudalph Russell has planned to go
to A. and M. College at Arlington and
take as his major, economics.
Drunette Farley will go to Texas
Tech in Lubbock to study journal-
ism.
Those planning to train for' a
nurse’s career are Ruby Pierson, at
St. Paul’s Hospital at Fort Worth;
Cathleen Blackerby and Joy Wilson.
Imogene Head will start working
in an office in Dallas on June 1.
Good luck, Imogene!
Earleen Benson will probably
. to some business school.
Evelyn Hill plans to go to Abilene
to attend school.
Howard Wallace will go to a me-
chanical school, but has not decided
where.
And so each senior now departs
from the senior class and bids fare-
well to his teachers and fellow stu-
dents.—M. B.

After the fire and smoke had
cleared away, the investigator of the
insurance company came to evaluate
the damage. He proved to be George
Hansard, the wizard at commercial
law in the good old days. George

house. This was the residence of
David and Malachia Wright Taylor.
David was the high tenor of the
famed Lamps Quartet and’ was
among the favorite stars of radio.
Imagine my surprise at encounter-
ing Evelyn Hill at the next house.
Evelyn, I learned, lived in Kentucky,
but was in the city on business. She •
was owner of the famed horse, Dane- 1
ing Filly, and was planning to make i
her fortune in a race that afternoon.
From Evelyn, I inquired about Joy
Wilson. Evelyn told me that Joy
lived in Trenton, and she showed me

Bobby.

EC. CLASS STUDIES
GOVERNMENT PROJECTS
The economics class has been
studying the different government
projects, such as the WPA, the CCC,
and the NYA.
Because of Mr. Manning’s absence
on Tuesday, May 14, Mr. Key taught
the economics class and a very inter-
esting discussion on propaganda was
held. The discussion started out very
innocently and ended very hotly with
expletives. Mr. Key, however, kept
the excited group from cutting one
another’s throat.—D. F.
HATS OFF TO THE DOCTORS!
Every faculty member and student
is extremely appreciative of the
gratuitous work done in the High
School by Dr. George K. Stephens
and Dr. Frank Layman the past few
weeks.
Dr. Stephens worked here for a
while each day for eight days. He
gave a physical examination to an
average of 25 students daily. Among
the points of examination were eyes,
heart, lungs, throat, height and
weight. As a result of this check-up,
it was found that 25 out of about 220
students have defective vision. There
were 188 students who rated “good"
as to general condition.
Dr. Layman examined the teeth of
an average of 70 students a day for
three days with Mrs. Layman assist-
ing in the work. From the whole
student body there were only six
students who did not need dental
care of some sort.
These few statistics reveal the fact
that most students need medical or
dental attention—a fact of which [
many would have remained unaware
had it not been for the obliging and
untiring work of these two doctors.
Mrs. Kennemer, who supervised
the clinic, should be praised for her
work which kept her on hei- toes most
of the time. Thanks are also in or-
der for the effort put forth by Mrs.
Roddy and Mr. Montgomery, who
helped with vision tests, and to all
othei' teachers and students who as-
sisted.
A mere thanks is not much to offer
for such an important work but ev-
eryone extends his grateful appre-
ciation.—C. D.
STANDARDIZED TESTS GIVEN
IN READING REVEAL
IMPROVEMENT
J. J. Sloan, Jackie Thompson, and
Barbara Gordon are the highest
ranking students in the “Iowa Silent
Reading Tests” administered to six-
ty-four remedial reading students
last Friday and Monday of this week.
J. J.’s score reveals a general reading
ability of 10.8 (nearly eleventh
grade); Jackie’s score, 9.6; and Bar-
bara’s, 9.2 (above ninth grade abil-
ity). A comparison of the scores
made on this test with the scores on
one taken in October shows that a
large percentage have advanced their
reading ability two years and more
in the intervening eight months;
many others have advanced one year;
some few have made no progress;
and one or two fell below the mark
made in the fall. In some cases lack
of progress was caused by irregular
attendance. In October nine pupils
dropped below fifth grade level; this
spring only one pupil fell below 5.1.
Those who have in eight months ad-
vanced two years or more in reading
ability are Jackie Thompson, Lucian
Vestal, Betty Sue Thornhill,
Talley, Lawrence Burden, Jennie Irl
Hicks, James Birt Phillips, Jones Ray
Vestal, and Woodrow Anderson.
The test measures three major as-
pects of silent reading ability; name-
ly, (1) rate of reading at a controlled
level of comprehension; (2) compre-
hension of words, sentences, para-
graphs, and longer articles; and (3)
ability to use skills required in locat-
ing information.—M. J. D.

of engineers, and here we are,
washing dishes, sticking our heads
but and wondering into the wrong
classes—all these events go together
for we were green, green “fish.” On
that trip Marilyn Smith, Marjorie
Henderson, Irene Mitchell, Joy Wil-
son, Robert Benson, and Doyle Alex-
ander, and Cathleen Blackerby en-
tered the class.
Our passengers steadily increased.
On the ninth trip Rudalph Russell,
Willie B. Smith, Fredna Owen, Da-
vid Taylor, Brazwell Alexander,
Beulah Mae Scott, Earleen Benson,
Howard Wallace, Leslie Andrew and
Merlyn Brown flagged the train.
Mrs. Roddy was our engineer on
the tenth trip. Donald Paul Hudgins
started with us at this time. Our
first real worry came then—the
junior-senior banquet; however, we
all lived through it. Drunette Farley
was the president of the passengers.
Gertie and yours truly, as well as
several more, had an awful drawback
—plane geometry.
At last—after all these years of
traveling we are seniors, and editors
of the Reflector, with George Han-
sard as the head of both. Louise Mc-
Spedden, Margie Donaghey, Eula
Mae Lambden, Dorthell Cowen and
Twyman White hopped the caboose
this year. Mr. Manning was chief en-
gineer and Mrs. Lackey the fireman.
Naturally there has been much to
discuss this year, and Mrs. Lackey
got the boiler pretty hot. The most
important thing was the “senior
trip,” which almost wrecked the
train, senior favorites, the banquet,
and the baccalaureate services.
So, as we hop from this time-worn,
dilapidated choo-choo and follow
separate tracks—we leave behind a
few hoboes who failed to get off and
slept through the whole trip. They
are to see that the juniors remain
faithful to our old antique, and that
they don’t go modern with a stream-
line beauty on wheels.—M. J. D.
THE CLASS PROPHECY
“Madam, I am the census taker of
1960. If you will spare me a few
moments of time there are a number
of questions I would like to ask you.
Now, what is your name?
“Earleen Benson Wallace? Not
Earleen Benson? Well, what do you
think of that?” Through her charac-
teristic vivacious chatter I soon
learned her whole history, including
her marriage to Jack Wallace and
Jack’s career as Major of the Nil
regiment, and Earleen’s own modest
career as a free-lance writer. After
an hour spent in reminiscing about
our high school days, I reluctantly
took my leave and journeyed on to
the next house.
The next hduse proved to be a
white house, huge and beautiful as a
castle. A butler greeted my ring, but
informed me that his mistress had a
dreadful headache and could not be
disturbed. I decided to interview the
butler and upon learning that his
was the former Merlyn
Brown, I had my card sent up.
Merlyn came promptly down the
stairway in a beautiful dress and we
had quite an enjoyable visit. I
learned that Merlyn owned two .of
the most exclusive style shops in the
city and won an award every year
for possessing the most extensive
wardrobe.
The next building proved to be a
huge hotel. I wandered into it, but
no one greeted me; evidently it was
a second rate hotel. I kept walking
until I found myself in the kitchen
of the establishment. And there with
CLASS HISTORY
We, the senior class of 1940, started
our long trip in 1929 with Miss Ger-
trude Schooling as our engineer. The
passengers for the first trip, and the
ones who have remained faithful for
eleven successive years are Imogene
Head, Evelyn Hill, George Hansard,
Drunette Farley, Joe Magers, Jack
Wallace, and Martha Jo Darwin.
Doyle Alexander, Fredna Owen,
Robert Benson and Claire Doss also
started but they jumped the track to’
return later. Modene Vineyard was
picked up toward the end of the first
trip.
The second trip was made in 1930
with Miss Mary Pumphrey and Miss
Kate Fulton as engineers.
The third year of successful run-
ning we had Miss Sallye Hamilton at
the throttle. That year the one and
only Ruby Pierson joined the class.
On the fourth year we were glad
to welcome Claire back. Miss Mae
FJall had a lot of trouble with Jack
Wallace that year. He seemed always
to be fighting over a see-saw or
throwing gravel. However, he has
reformed now,. (?)
Can you imagine this? The
trip we had thret? engineers,
Susie Noe, Mr. Bryant, and Miss Kate
Fulton. That was the year we heard
so much about history and arith-
metic.
Dorothy Booher, Joyce Hinton and ; mistress
James Norris were waiting at the
station to make the sixth trip. Miss
Clyde Montgomery, Mrs. Roddy and
Mr. Manning were the conductors.
Mrs. Roddy, Miss Dorothy Hamil-
ton, and Mr. Manning- decided we
had learned how the train of thought
was run, so we were switched to the
eighth crossing of the School Rail-
road. Claire Doss and Glenda Mae
Rutledge were valedictorian and sa-
lutatorian, respectively, and Joyce
Hinton and Lloyd Roddy -had
high averages.

The seniors met Monday to discuss
another trip, tipis time to Galveston.
Mrs. Lackey and Mrs. Kennemer in-
terviewed Mr. Boyd at Whitesboro
and Mr. Moulton at Bells about trips
they had taken to Galveston. It was
found that a much better trip could
be taken there‘than to Austin and
San Antonio. The seniors plan to
leave on Saturday, May 25, and ex-
pect to return on Tuesday or Wednes-
day. If the money lasts long enough,
they may come back through San
Antonio and Austin. The old saying,
“A wise man changes his mind, a fool
never does,” applies to the seniors.—

ty contest in which it won first place.
Five dollars was the award for the
county finals.
A luncheon will be' given in honor
of the winners at Hotel Denison in
the near future.—M. S.
EPIDEMIC AMONG SENIORS

That future angel of the screen
Is the senior hopeful, Evelyn Modene.

To Whitewright folks get very weari-
some.
The class Romeo is Twyman White,
His personality shines like a light.
And as life must have its bitter pill
Next in line is Evelyn Hill.
Imogene, Claire, and Emma Joyce,
The Three Musketeers, don’t care for
boys.
Leslie Andrew, short and quick,
Makes his opponents in basketball
look pretty sick.
Marjorie and Joy are seniors, you
know,
They seem to make friends wherever
they go.
Doyle Alexander of the string band
Usually won’t play, but boy, he can!
When getting his lessons,’Joe Magers
won’t balk,
And he’s a nice boy, when you
get him to talk.
From Ely comes Dorothy Booher
And believe me, boys, my hat’s off
to her.
Ask Louise McSpedden and Margie
Donaghey
About hookey-playing — how true,

Willie B. Smith is the class joker,
Master of ping-pong, volleyball, and
poker.
Now saved till last,

That rip-snortinJ, gun-toter from the
West.
Great men tremble and shrink with
fear,
And huddle in groups, afraid to stir.
Your’re wondering who this one can
be?
It’s Brazwell Alexander, the author,
you see.
STUDENTS TYPE
CONSTITUTION
Members 6f the typing I class, un-
der the supervision of Mrs. Kenne-
mer, have just completed typing the
United States Constitution. The stu-
dents typed the document on 8%
by 11 inch paper and did not type
the many footnotes that are in the
Constitution.
The students were not only re-
quired to type the Constitution to de-
velop typing skill, but they were
supposed to learn something about
the foundation of our government.—

FAREWELL
It has come the time for the senior
class of 1940 to say farewell to the
readers of the Reflector.
The class has enjoyed getting the
scattered bits of news to pass on to
you, and we hope you have enjoyed
reading it.
Of course, we haven’t learned all
there is to know about newspaper re-
porting, but we will confess that we
know more now than we did in the
edition of our first Reflector, on
September 23.
So, we say adieu, and leave the
space to be filled by the senior class
of 1941.—Assistant Editor.
