WHERE ARE THE SENIORS
OF IS3S-1936
(By Mary Catherine Bussey)
It is only natural that we
would forget the Seniors of
1935-36 unless we heard some-
thing from them. Hare is the
best record we could find of
them. Many names are miss-
ing from oar list, bat it was
impossible to find them all:
Mary Bailey is increasing
her education in Tchuaeana
College.
Ernestine Berkeley (Red-
ding) has settled down to a
quiet married life,
Doris Burns, Dorothy Crump,
Then McGee and Ray Smith
are in S. F. A. College, Nacog-
doches.
Mary Ella Childs is working
in a dress shop in Amarillo.
Elaine Goody and Blanche
Ramsey are enrolled in a Beao-
mont business college.
Marie Crump and Laverne
King are preparing for a busi-
ness life in a commercial col-
lege at Tyler.
Evelyn Dillon is now Mrs.
Laclaire Bailey.
Estelle Eakin, Zola East,
Ona Belle Johnson, Leona
Rhodes, Wavah Stephens, R.
L. Gillespie, Joe! Murphy are
at home this year.
Lamar McWilliams is now
Mr. Quin teen Green, pardon'
us—we mean he married her.
Elaine Hayes is working in
Dr. Whiteside's dentist office
here in town.
Sue Hawthorn is in C. L A.,
Denton, Texas.
Ruth £. Lang ham is at home
' >«f 5? taking typing here , in
the high school.
Roselee McDowell is in train-
ing at John Sealey Hospital in
Galveston. '
Maurine Nichols. Laurie
F racks. Wayne Jackson, Rob-
ert Ramsey and John Tyson
are all haunting the campus
at C.O.M.
Anna Belie Screws is now
Mrs. Fowler Green.
Omie Gene Stockman has
settled down to married life. !
Rebecca Taylor is in T. C. U.
John Bussey Byrn is attend-
ing Baylor University.
Bertram Childs is in State
University.
Forrest Copeland is working
in Carthage at the Panola Mo-
tor Co. j
Arthur Horton is in Missis-
sippi University.
Tom Ramsey is working in
Pittsburg, Texas.
Charlie Sanford is a student
of A. A M. College.
Then we find Marion Stan-
field working In a cheese fac-
tory at Fort Arthur.
So is it any wonder that we
should hear so little from the
Seniors of 1935-36, when al-
ready they are separating to
all points in the South.

PERSONALS OF THE
SENIOR CLASS
(By Margaret Black)
A prouder group of Seniors
has never been seen than was
our class on Wednesday when,
for the first time, we wore our
class rings. We think (nat-
urally) that they are the most
exquisite and beautiful rings
that have ever been worn by
Seniors. By noon Wednesday
all students, teachers, or casual
passere-fcy were ftffly aware
that we were Seniors and that
we wore Senior rings.
Just who are these proud
Seniors? Here they are and a
bit of information about each:
First let us pay particular
attention to our sponsors. Miss
Dorothy Davis is (in our opin-
ion) the very swellest teacher
and the best sponsor on earth.
She presides at the Senior
homeroom desk, but we have
(unofficially adopted) another
sponsor, Mr. Billie Parsons,
who is also just about “tops."

manftea.

man.

STATE EDUCATIONAL
MATTERS OF INTEREST
(By Leta Vae Brinson-
The State Board of Educa-
tion called a meeting of all
county and independent school
district superintendents in
Austin Monday and Tuesday,
January 3 and 4, with an at-
tendance of approximately one
thousand.
Various questions of school
interest were discussed by the
members of the State Depart-
ment of Education.
One question of partieulaq
interest discussed was a twelve
grade school system for Texas.
No definite decision was reach-
ed, although it was the opinion
of most school men that a
twelve-grade system is ad-
visable, however, the fins! de-
cision in the matter ia left with
the State Board of Education,
which has the authority to set
up this system if it is deemed
advisable.
A Town and Rural High
School Association was organ-
ized during the conference at
Austin, which has for its mo-
tive the promotion of equal
educational opportunities for
all students of the state. Mr.
Langham. secretary of our
"board of trustees, is in Austin
now, gathering statistical in-
formation from the State De-
partment of Education for the
organization.
The officers of this organiza-
tion are: Director, Julian P.
Greer, ex-senator and superin-
tendent of E'khart schools, and
the steering committee: John
M. Scott of BniT&lo, R. T. Bass
of Brownsboro, Frank E. White
of Waller, L. G. Hilliard of
Timpson, and C. A. Cryer of
HOW THE HOLIDAYS
LEFT THE TEACHERS
(By Miml Mol Joy)
Mr. Hilliard still “once in a
while” makes one of his fa-
mous speeches. (Now, folks,
aud that’s not ail he says!)
Mr. Crump still claims this
his motto: “A winner is never
a quitter and a quitter is never
a winner.”
Mrs. Nichols is just as sweet
es ever.
Mr. Pencinter smiled "once”
for us.
Miss Bernice Davis came
back with more secrets to tell
her pupils. (Oh, you rascal?)
Miss Dorothy Davis came
back with her appealing per-
sonality and has not forgotten
how to lecture to her seniors.
Coach Clark came back
with his pleasing disposition.
(He’s a father, you know).
Mr. Parsons is still wonder-
ing how long it will be before
his students quit arguing in
English class.

EIGHTH GRADE NEWS
The Science classes have
turned into amateur weather
reporters. Each day yon will
find our reports,in the Timpson
Time*. We expect to be see
weather reporters before long.
I'm sure our parents will not
be worried with any of their
children staying out late this
next week as they will all be
busy studying for those awful
mid-term exams.
The FF.A. chapter, under
the direction of Mr. Perminter,
has elected Frances Molloy,
sweetherat of the class. She
will accompany them on sev-
eral trips. There were other
punSs nominated, but the one
who raired the most pennies
won.
The County F. F. A. Chap-
*er*s meeting was held Mon-
First the
business was taken care of,
then a Picture show was given

much too large. Where could it
have come from?
Mr. Crump an irresistible dis-
position. Will dry weather
care it?
Many new leaks in the school
roof and numerous buckets,
usually full of water, for stu-
dents to stumble over.
Grouches from all high
school giris. The roads were
so slick that mothers said stay

A discussion between Mr.
Crump and Mr. Hilliard as to
who will take mid-term exami-
nations.
The pretteist senior rings
that Timpson has ever seen.
(The prettiest price too).
Exemptions from mid-term
exams for many students.
Impassable roads for some
school busses. We wander if
it is the inspiration given by a
certain dark-eyed girl that
makes Junior able to drive
over the school bus route and
then back to town without half
as much trouble as the others
have.
We wander If they brought
Melba a nice fat letter from
the “big sticks."

tin.

terest in Douglas, Arizona,

a favorite pastor “and family”
moved there. We wonder
why?
Among the many necessary
improvements that Timpson
high school could use: a new
roof would be quite heartily
welcomed.
■Bro. McKee, pastor of the
Methodist church, gave a very
inspiring talk to the school-
body last Thursday morning at
the chapel hour. His subject
was: “Leasing Oat.” He left
with us the vital question,
“which of the agencies, the ens
for evil or the one for good,
will you lease your life to?”
Well,, well, Mr. Crump has
gone militaristic on us again.
What do you think his fertile
brain has hatched up now.
The swell idea that students
should get EXERCISE! Now
that is very good but why do
we have to take a nice little
stroll around the campus, in
the middle of January? And in
the rain at that!
(By Howard Crausby)
Since the beginning of school
last September, many changes
have been made in the differ-
ent rooms over our school
building. First, 1st us take a
look at the office—it has been
partitioned and divided into
two divisions.
Next, we take a look at the
study hall. A long wall has di-
vided the study hall into a
room to itself, with a long hall-
way for students to move from
one class to another.
Next, all the unused lockers
near the stairways were re-
moved so as to provide light
for the stairs. These lockers
had caused the light to be ob-
structed and therefore made
the stairways dangerous when
in use by the students. The
haliway doors have been made
double size to provide ample
room in case of fire, etc.
Other small changes have
been made which has bensfit-
ted the school as a whole, both
in safety and convenience.

TENTH GRADE REPORT
(By Frances Ramsey)
With mid-terms only a week
away, we find the students of
the tenth grade busier than
they have been since school
started and, incidentally, busi-
er than they will be until
school closes (finals). There
are note hooks to be complet-
ed, some perhaps, to be made,
papers to correct, term themes
to be written and review ques-
tions to study for next week
when we meet that old dragon
Mid-terms face to face.
Well, well, who would have
ever thought that the five-page
themes on “The Art of Silence”
that the tenth grade English
class had to write for playing
“Quaker” would ever be of
any use, but did we get the
surprise of our lives the other
day when Miss Dorothy Davis
informed us that they were our
term themes.
Weather forecast as seen by
tenth graders: Same as usual
-the unusual.
