Students Parade Through
City After Football
Game.
Victory for the Mountaineers
over Grapevine’s eleven last Fri-
day, caused much enthusiasm and'
pep in a number of high school
students.
There were about a hundred or
a hundred and fifty students who
met in the high school auditorium
at seven o’clock. After a few
yells and songs, which were led by
Mr. Hendley, Mr. Starr, and Mor-
ris Miller, a parade was started.
The students marched in single
file to the Palace Drug Store,
where they gave a few yells. They
then marched up North Oak Ave
nue, stopping at a few places and
singing songs and yelling yells as
they were going. When they came
to the Crazy Hotel they marched
into the lobby and there they
sang a few more songs and yelled.
After leaving the hotel they re-
sumed their march going down
North Oak Avenue. At the Pal
ace Drug Store they were rein-
forced by the “Gold Medal Band”
of Weatherford, Texas. The par
ade then marched up East Eubbard
Street to 1st Avenue where they
turned north toward the Post Of-
fice.
At the Post Office all of the
students and the band assembled
on the steps of the office, where
they gave a few more yells and
songs. This was the main part
of the program. After about twen-
ty minutes there, the march was
continued .to the palace where the
band members were forced to
leave, as they said there was a
party to be given in honor of them
when they reached Weatherford.
Mr. Hendley speaking in honor
of the Mineral Wells Pep Squad,
thanked the boys much for the as
sistance they had given. The par
ade was continued four blocks on
west Hubbard and disbanded.
The girls were dressed ir> their
cilia yviiilc j. ep uresscS wxucn
were very appropriate. Mr. Hend-
ley states that there will be simi-
lar occasions of this in the future.

Ward School News
War has been declared in Travis
School. This attack is being wag-
ed by the 6B English class. Their
enemy is none other than “Bad
English”. Each day some member
of the class as officer of the day,
keeps a list of all enemies heard
in the classroom. These attacks
on the foe which seems to be
most dangerous, Captain Aint and
most of his followers have been
wiped out. Two officers, “I seen’s”,
were badly wounded but a soldier
“have” rescued them.
We hope to be able in a few days
to end this war. Our soldiers
are doing heroically.
Third Grade of Travis School
under the direction of Miss Vi-
vian Pangle, presented a clever
play. Thursday morning, entitled
“Hallowe’en at the Back of the
World.”
First walked in a big pasteboard
clock which, we later discovered,
had a wee girl, Jewell Mahan, be-
hind it. Then came the witches,
Louise Johns and Mildred Preissin-
ger, and Janie Fitts, on three
brooms. The goblins, Ervin St.
Clair, Robert Squires, Iola Byron,
Beeler Baird, Jewell Bradford,
and Roy Bryson were the next to
appear. Zero the hero, and Dillon,
the villian, were none other than
J. Loyd Byron and James Smith.
The Kittens were Mary Louise
Ranspot, Madeline Granbury, and
Billie Burke Black.
The playlet was an arrange-
ment of the imaginative characters
which interest the children of the
lower grades.
Students Of Musical Ability
Chosen To Play In
Orchestra.
Travis and Barber Schools met
on the Travis School diamond for
the first match game of the sea-
son.
The boys were well matched and
good sportsmanship was shown
throughout the game. They were
spurred on and filled with enthu-
siasm and determination as a re-
sult of the continuous yells on the
sidelines. The last half of the
nineth inning was not played as
Travis was already leading by a
score of three. The final score was
24 to 27 in favor of Travis.
