One Week End In A Senior’*
Life
Dear Diary:
Here it is late in the night of
Sunday, May 18, 1941, but 1 just
must tell you what a wonderful
time I had on the senior trip. Fri-
day morning about 6:15 o’clock,
the seniors left for the long await-
ed trip to Galveston. Not much
happened until we reached Love’s
Lookout near Tyler. Come climb-
ed the tower there and enjoyed a
viw of the countryside. From
there we went to Huntsville where
we visited the Oakwood cemetery
where Sam Houston and other
noted Texans are buried. The
campus of the Sam Houston State
Teacher’s College contained two
homes of General and Mrs. Sam
Houston. One was designed by
Houston himself and is very old-
fashioned and well kept. The
other house was the famous
“Steamboat House” where Hous-
ton died.
Next, we visited the state pris-
on. It contains about 7,000 pris-
oners now. We made a tour of
several buildings including the
place where license plates are
made, and where shoes and mat-
tresses are made. The kitchen was
a very large room. The tables
and chairs were made there in the
prison. I think that seeing those
men in prison made me appreciate
my freedom more. The electric
chair and the death cell gave one
a queer feeling and made every-
one seem more determined to do
right.
We drove around in Houston
for quite awhile. From there we

went to the San Jacinto battle-
field. We went up 489 feet in
the monument and had a good
view of the battlefield and the
beautiful landscaping. Near the
entrance there were large rooms
that contained antiques and relics
from early Texans. The sun hud
set when we left the monument
and it was very beautiful in the
dusk.
It was about 9 o’clock Friday
night when we first saw the water
coming in on the beacih at Gal-
veston. We enjoyed a walk on
the beach until about eleven. Al-
though we were tired, we made
all the rounds at a near-by car-
nival. Most of us got up early
Saturday morning. We cooked
our breakfast at camp and start-
ed off for a very busy day. Some
went into the water in the morn-
ing and about noon we rode out
about three miles from Galveston
on the Galveston Boliver Ferry.
Saturday afternoon we rented
a boat and went on a 20 mile
cruise. This was one of the high-
lights of the trip because the cap-
tain told us about different ships
and things on the open sea that
we saw.
Late Saturday afternoon we
drove around Galveston and saw
Fort Crockett, and the army base
there.
Saturday night we rode bi-
cycles, went to the roller rink,
and to the carnival.
Sunday morning we were all
tired and ready to rest awhile
but most of us hated to leave the
grand sights of Galveston for
school and final exams.
There is only one thing to re-
gret—nearly all blistered a deep,
rosy, red.
Well, dear diary, I’m sleepy, so
I must go to bed.
Good night.
We Leave It With You
Since this will probably be our
last issue of the Enloe Tigers to
be published this year, we will
leave with you an idea of what to
expect through the summer
months to come. I think that Vir-
ginia Coston and Basil Duncan
will not be nearly so romantic
after school is out. Helen Jo
Toon seems to be in Basil’s favor
now.
Cortez Carrington and Jolynn
Rainey are still that way about
each other. They admit that they
have had one fuss during the
school term. Nice work.
Margaret Lou Wright will
probably be going with her new
boy friend from Roxton, but the
one from Sulphur Springs still
has a chance.
Looks like Wanda Teague and
John Ransome will still be to-
gether after school days are over,
since not even a trip to Galves-
ton keeps them apart.
Evelyn Morris was terribly
lonesome during this past week
end, but that was because Reese
Carrington was in Galveston, and
I’m told that he missed her very
much, too.

Goebel Templeton, a member
of the Cooper High School facul-
ty, was the speaker of the even-
ing, and his inspirational message
will long be remembered.
Others who contributed to the
evening’s entertainment were:
| Mrs. S. L. Cregg, Beverly Igle-
i hart, Regina Patterson, Mollie
Jean Whitlock, Don Cregg and
Donald Whitlock. Toasts were
offered by Virginia Coston and
Rena Herron and replies were
made by John Ransome, Jr., pres-
ident of the senior class, and R.
L. Huffman, superintendent of
Enloe school. Eugene Oyler pre-
sided as toastmaster.
Besides faculty members and
students of the junior and senior
classes, other guests were: Mrs.
Goebel Templeton, Mrs. R. L.
Huffman, Mrs. Lane Cregg, and
Messrs. Grafton Moore and S. L.
Cregg.
Waitresses were: ‘Yvonne Bled-
soe, Nelle Carter, Artie Ann Huie,
Mozelle Humphreys, Mary Ellen
Rasberry, and Doris Robbins.
They were attractively dressed in
red, white, and blue uniforms.
Mrs. G. C. Coston, Mrs. Joe
Herron, Mrs. Roy Skeen, Mrs. J.
C. Mullins, and Miss Wanda
Cregg very graciously assisted
with preparations and arrange-
ments.
Farewell To The Seniors
Soon a group of 16 students
will be leaving dear old EHS as
high school graduates, never to go
to school here any more. Some
of those students have made en-
viable records in the past and
some need recognition for the
things they have done.
John Ransome is president of
the senior class this year. He lias
won the county in declamation for
the past three years and had the
leading roles in both the junior
and the senior class plays.
.Helen Jo Toon is a very prom-
inent member of the senior class
and is very popular with teachers
and students alike.
Basil Duncan came from the
Mt. Joy* school to Enloe to finish
his last two high school years. He
lettered in football in his senior
year.
Wanda Teague was president of
her class in her sophomore year,
and went to the district in typing
and in declamation this year. She
is the pianist for the Enloe school.
Edsel Cregg was captain of the
football team this last season and
was president of the class his
junior year. He is quite an ath-
lete, too.
Clara Hanna went to Enloe
school her sophomore year, went
to Cross Roads during her junior
year, but came back to Enloe to
finish her high school days.
Mary Kate Walker has gone to
Enloe school all her school days
and has the unusual talent of be-
ing able to chew gum constantly
without being caught.
Reese Carrington is noted for
being a very fast mile runner. He
was once very bashful but he is
anything else but bashful now.
James Jones also came to En-
loe from Mt. Joy, but he is now
just one of the bunch. He is well
known for his ability to get an
argument started at the drop of a
hat.
Jolynn Rainey is the smallest
! girl in the senior class. She is an
| honor student and is the pepper-
pot of the class.
Betty Zoe Cregg has the honor
of having gone to the state meet
in ready writing in her senior
year. She was selected by the
class to represent them in the
Daughters of the American Revo-
lution contest. She was president
of the class in her freshman year.
Gladwin Rainey has the ability
to write songs and we predict
thatr he will write many more be-
sides “Day Dreaming.”
Florine Duncan won a “Know
Texas” contest last year and last
summer made a tour of the state.
She is secretary of her class this
year.
Harold Bromley is another sen-
ior that began his school days in
Enloe. He is now the laziest
boy that Enloe has ever had.
Laura Patterson is the fair
senior that blistered so bad on the
trip last week end. Laura has a
grand personality and is almost al-
ways laughing or smiling.
Willie Mae Davis was awarded
a medal for citizenship when she
was a junior in high school. She
is known far and wide because
she can keep her mouth shut and
is not always talking.

12 Grade System For Delta
County Schools
In last Tuesday’s issue of t’nci
Delta Courier appeared a very
long, as well as interesting, ar-
ticle written by our county super-
intendent, Alvin Welch, who is
also secretary to the county school
board. If you, my good reader,
have not already read this article,
May I suggest that you please do
so now.
The local writer believes that
this new plan is just like every-
thing else that is old, it has its
own advantages, as well as dis-
advantages. As to what per cent
is good and as to what per cient is
bad, I do not know. However,
this much about the 12 grade
system is undebatable: It is be-
ing adopted by many of our best
schools in Texas and it is getting
to be more popular all the time.
The merits and demerits of a
12 grade system for our county is
worthy of our serious and
thoughtful consideration.
