FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT I congratulate you upon this tl~

completion of eleven years of work and your graduation. You are the largest class in the school's history, and we are proud of you. I hofX3 that it will be your good fortune to continue your education in some college or university.

I am sorry that you are leaving, because your sojourn here has been a most pleasant one. I hope that you will continue to be a friend of education.

Sometimes in jest, but deeper in serious thought and admonition, you have been told that some day you were going to have to take your big feet out from under Daddy's table. I hope that in the establishment of your own home, you will practice the many things taught you, and that you will be a citizen of whom the whole community is justly proud.

You have been told that you will have to GIVE and TAKE, and that you will have to get down on a level with your fellow man and do better than ho the things you are called upon to do. You must make your time valuable. Things worth while must be earned by the sweat of the brow and by sacrifice.

Too, I hope you feel a deep gratitude to those who have made your aducation possible- the State, tho cornnmnity, your parents, and your teachers who have labored so faithfully with you.

We all bid you Godspeed; you Nill long linger a pleasant memory.

FROM THE PRINCIPAL

I have been associated with the members of the present Senior Class in various capacities for the past four years- in the class room, at all of your athletic events, parties, picnics and dances. In the capacity of your Principal for the last year, it has been necessary to view your characteristics and idiosyncrasies from a slightly different angle, and I am still in a position to say that you are, as a whole, a fine and loyal group of boys and girls.

The praise and recommendations I might give you will never pay your financial obligations, nor the debt of gratitude you owe your teachers for their perpetual efforts, the community for its cooperative attitude and wonderful provisions for the furtherance of your education, and the sacrifices your parents have winnligly made in your behalf. These agencies have merely started you on the road to success and better and more appreciative living. Whatever finish you add to this beginning dopunds greatly upon your own initiative. The road is open to greater accomplishments although it is not exactly clear of obstacles, but determination and perseverance have always triumphed.

I have never played the role of a pessimist, but I would like for you Seniors to know you are about to enter a social and economic order in which the survival of the fittest is based on your capacity to absorb the hard knocks which are dcfintoly coming, and in the meantime, prepare

Your friend, for greater action and competition

(!:4 at the top of the ladder of success. j ~"' ... # /) .-..-... With the right kind of determination

( / r ~~ (Continued on 0)

\"Je are reminded, on every hand, that we must work if we expect to achieve anything worth while. This idea is a foregone con clusion. Do you doubt it? If so, take a look at the proverbs, mottoes, and philosophies of the sages of the past:

"We build the ladder by which we rise 11

• "The Door to success is labeled 1 Push 111 • r;Labor is life''• aLift not lean". i'Push oni 11 1'True success is to labor".

There is not now and never will be any Utopia where boys and girls can escape from this element human discipline-work. As we look back over our school days, we now know that what has been most valuable to us is that which has enabled us to do most for ourselves. We will forget a large per cent of the facts we have learned, but how to find and use facts will carry over into our future careers, whether in college, shop, refinery or home,

Harry J. Ylinger, President and General Manager of the Pontiac Motor Company, in an address to a large class of young men receiving diplomas in General t~1otors Institute, said:

11 Learn to get along with people. Learn to exhibit more patience than any other man you know. Respect other men's ideas and opinions. Learn to think problems to the end. Learn to put your-self in the other fellow's place. Be democratic. Be loyal. Cultivate cheerfulness. ··.'ORK ! 11

If the above advice is not convincing, road this inscription on the spacious walls of a great

museum in New York City: "Be practical as well as lofty

and generous in your ideals. Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground. Courage, hard work, self-mastery and intelligent effort are essential to a successful life 11

•

In this connection, our class motto- :rTHE ELEVATOR IS NOR RUNNING TAKE THE STAIRS"- will be our inspi ration. ~e will fix our eyes on the goal of ambition, and hold our hands to its task. Vie will "work hard, hope high, and live up to the best that is in us; then we can write at the end, 'Well done~'"

J\rr£r\ Gr\r\DUAJJoN,

.\;YHAr? In May , 1937, forty-eight

seniors will bid farewell to Nederland High School to enter into a broad field of life. Some of them will go on to college, seeking a more complete education; others wil find work in some profession or business; others, however, will establish homes. Dut no matter what profession we enter, we can always remember that the basis of a successful life was laid 'in tho gradcso1. ··:e can attribute our future success and happiness in lif to our parents, our teachers, and our every-day associates from whom whom we gather theories and ideas

Just how far the Bulldogs will go next seasons remains to be seen During Spring training they have shown plenty pep and eagerness to learn; and it seems that many new faces will be seen in the lineup when uniforms are donned next September. The team likely will be built around Fuller and Perryman at ends, Massey and Roberts as tackles, DuBose at center, Harbour and Bernard at guard position, with Allen, Harvill, Duhon, and Bourque in the backfield.

The high school opened its doors last September to receive two hundred and forty students, which was an increase of forty students over the total of last year. To take care of this increase new teachers were added to the faculty.

Then came football. Nederland boasted the strongest team in years and had more backing than ever before. These fithging Bulldogs wer~ coached by Coaches I. B. Griffith and P. R. Sikes and were captained by 0. S. Johnson and Fred Ar·nold • For the first time in seven years Nederland beat Port Neches.

Immediately following the Port Neches game came the Spooks' Convention with crowds that surpassed all former occasions. The play was excellent and the carnival glamorous. In fact, "a good time was had by all 11 •

After a two days' holiday for Thanksgiving, students returned to wait for Basketball season nnd Christmas.

Pa c 12

The fifteen day Christmas vacation finally came to an end and back to school came everyone ready for mid-term examinations.

Basketball and volley ball were in full swing. The Nederland boys made a poor showing because of the stronger teams they were pitted against. But tho girls made up for this with a very successful season. In fact, nearly everyone started the mid-year classes well satisfied.

February brought Spring Training with a very large squad outforty odd huskies, to be exact. An1 Nederland is looking forward to another season just as successful as the one we experienced in 1936.

The faculty games and the boys' and girls' class games were interesting and exciting. Tho seniors came out victorious, winning easily over the juniors and nosing out the sophomores thirteen to eleven.

In the girls' class games, the seniors defeated the juniors 48 to 2, while the sophomore came out victorious over the freshmen with a 26 to 9 score. The play-off proved to be tho undoing of the sophomores, the seniors handing them defeat in no uncertain terms.

On March 5, our learned professors nosed out the ~nior boys 21-19 in a benefit game which was enjoyed by all.

With the passing of April and May, we arc brought face to face with the fact that final examinations arc upon us, commencement time is here, the seniors are fixing to leave us, and we wonder what we've been doing all this time, All the time, we have been acting like the chap pictured below!

The Bulldogs were inexperienced in track an0 field, but we arc proud of their showing this year. With the purchau of additional equipment, they should be able to go places next season.

J\rf RODUCJJ\JG

UlLDOGS O. S. JOHNSON( Captain). O. S.

played three years of football, and was a very good man. He also was well liked by his fellow players, and was always ready to go. He was captain two years.

J. w. HISE(Quarterback). J. W. called some mighty good games during his football career, and the team regrets his loss,through graduation.

GEORGE TROTTER(End). George made many good runs during his years of football. Due to his ability to catch passes, he will be missed greatly.

OLAN WHITMIRE(End). Olan was tall and fast; therefore, he made a good end for the Bulldogs.

CLARENCE BOURQUE. Clarence has been light the past few years, but he has speed to burn.(Backfield).

LARIS BROUSSARD(Bnckfield). '36 was his first year, but look out for next year~

WALTER(SON) PERRYMAN{End}. Son is a promising and, because he knows his tuff about catching passes.

ALVIN(PUNY) WARE(Tackle). Puny has played his last year of football. He will manage in 1937.

THO~AS HARBOUR(Guard). Thomas has one more year left and will deal someone plenty misery in that line.

PAUL BILLINGSLEY(Tackle). Tabor was big and tall and enjoyed altitude over his opponent.

FRED ROACH( Guard). Fred played heads-up ball and always gave his CLAYTON(SNAKE) HARVILL(Quarterback). opponent a good fight. Snake was elected Captain of the

1937 Bulldogs. He'll be an asset. LESTER CLOTIAUX(Guard). Lester was

small, but he always got through the line, and he broke up lots of plays.

WINFRED GALLIER( Center)• Winfred was a good clean sportsman. He obeyed orders and always did his part in the game.

R. B. GR~GORY(Tackle). R. B.always played hard and clean, and he was admired by his opponents as well as the spectators.

RALPH MASSEY(Fullback). Ralph was elected co-captain of the 1937 Bulldogs. He has lettered two years. Good luck, Ralph.

FRED ARNOLD(Tackle). Fred was big and husky. This was used with cf.feet in the line when needed.

(L.to R.: HARVILL, JOHNSON, LOCKLER, TROTTER, WHITMIRE, HISE) The Nederland Bulldogs did not have a very successful

season the past year, from the standpoint of number of games won, yet they played hard and never quit fighting. They were given sweater awards fro service on the hardwood court.

The Bulldogs started the season at Orange, losing a rough game to them by a score of 21 to 12.

The first conference game of the season was with Port Neches, which they lost by a very close score. The teams seemed evenly matched until the last quarter when The Port Neches Indians put on a final spurt and went ahead to win the game.

The next game was played in Beaumont where the Bulldogs met the French Bisons. The game was hard-fought and the Pups gave the highly favored Buffs a scare by playing heads up ball and never giving up throughout the fray.

They lost the next game to Port Neches 31 to 26. This game was also very close, and the Indians were unable to score until three regular periods were ruled off because of too many fouls.

Clayton Harvill played guard for the Bulldogs. He was very capable and prevented many goals from being made.

Olan Whitmire played forward. He was one of the tallest men on the squad(if there were such), and was very dangerous when he got loose under the basket.

O. S. Johnson played guard. Although this was his regular position, he could be counted on to make his share of the baskets.

J. w. Hise played forward. He was truly the star of the team. He had an eagle eye for the basket from afar and at close range to the basket. He could be counted on to make his share of the points during the game.

George Trotter played guard and was the tallest man on the squad.

Although the Pups did not win many games, they trained hard and faithfully. Coach I. B. Gr 1ffith turned in a mighty fine performance as coach of the team. He proved to bo an inspiration to tho boys on tho squad and should turn out a winning team noxt year. }:iuch time was spent in working with tho Juniors who will step into the places loft vacant by those who will be lost through graduation.

Our Seniors have finished thoir tasks; They arc starting out now with more facts.

~ach day they worked harder, Each day to gro~ broader;

But now, they have finished at last.

Some will work on and reach fame, And win for themsolvos a great name;

They think not of hard work , But of what it is worth.

Wo know they will win in tho game.

We arc sorry to have them leave us, And wo know it will surely grieve us.

Yet, we must lot them co , For they have to do so.

So now, thoy will go with a glow .

\\T R s II I HE "UNAWAY CRAPE

On San Jacinto Day, April 21, fue Texas Histori class presented a play entitled 'THE RUNAWAY SCRAPE", to the high school while assembled in regular chapel period.

The time was April 23, 1836, three days after the battle of San Jacinto. The Hawkins es, Lena,1.~ ary, Jane, and Grandma Hawkins, wore traveling East trying to escape the oxicans and get out of Texas .

They became separated from their traveling companions, the Rectors and the Halls, and had been trying to find them all the past day, but night was coming on; so they had 1-uO camp •

Incidentally, while Lona and Uary Jane were sitting up talking, the Indians chopped a nearby tree dovm, and had it not boon for tho ~role efforts of Miss Frances :arlo, director of tho play and

teacher of the class, Lena's head vrnuld have been protruding through the canvas scenery until now------1 sup 1 ose.

·,·;hilo camped out, George Granville and Clark Rector appeared on the scene and a spirited rivalry took place over George's heart. Cla.i."'k told of Houston 1 s vie tory over Santa Anna, and tho whole family turned back and went to their homes, Lena going with George to get married .

The cast was as follows: Grandma Hawkins--------Irma Crisman Lena Hnwkins------Betty Lou Manning Mary Jane Hawkins---Sylvia Brookner George Granville-------Hilton Hills Clark Roctor-------------Fred Roach

The play was greatly enjoyed by all the students. It is especially significant because of the Centennial last yca.r, and that tho battle ground is only a two hour drive from here .

Early Monday morning, April 26, a group of chilled, undignif i0d, hilarious Seniors piled into a V-8 truck borrowed from the Ford Motor Company of Port Neches and headed for the woods. On arriving at the Poco Club, on Village, tilis wild bunch scattered in all directions; some headed for the dance hnll,some for the woods, and some for bathing suits.

During the first two hours, most of the Seniors were content to dance or wander around s0eing the sights, but a.bout 11:00 1: •• lvi. most of them became hungry, and by lunch time all of them were back in camp.

The lunch was a great success with plenty of sandwiches, cookies, fruit and p-p-p-p-picklc s. We ··wnder what the kodak pictures of this bunch of pigs will look like.

After lunch, there was dancirg swimming, and trips of exploration by Fred and Thomas. Too bad there was no bait, bocQusc a few wanted to fish. Then came siesta time. After such a big lunch and hilnrious morning, most of these dignified Seniors flopped on whatever bench or car seat they could find.

h.bout 3:00 P.1:1. a listless, tired, sunburnod, quiet group piled back into tho truck nnd headed for home. We have yet to hear anyone admit that he did not have a good

School, Delegates from French and Port Neches brought together the three largest class A schools in Jefferson County for a day of fun and wholesome recreation . Registration and organization of teams started at 8:30 A.M. Team sports including basket ball, volley ball, and playground ball filled the major portion of the morning and early afternoon program, interspersed with individual sports, dancing and track .

As the participants registered, they wore organized into color teams, e~ch team consisting of members from osch school . Tho rainbow motif was employed throughout the day 1 s program . Each girl was given an arm bnnd, tho color for her team. Unique favors, causing quite a lot of interest among the girls, consisted of a rainbow ribbon of the six colors representing the teams, and a small pot of gold at the end of the rainbow . Each game in which tho girls played meant either a forfeit of one of tho colors of their ribbon or tho acquisition of a color for their new rainbow. The eager ness to end the day's play with a complete rainbow kept enthusiasm and alertness superlative.

Iilnch was served by Miss Mo.r jorio Newsom, assisted by her 8ccond year foods class. Tables wore covered with rainbow colors , and sweet peas nnd larkspur adorned oc,ch ont). Tho menu consisted of string beans, potato salad, pimentocho ·-,sc c::i.d potted ham sandwiches , punch, hot rolls and ice cream.

Before tho afternoon sports wero int~oducod, a social hour and sing- song wr.s hold in the gymnasium . Several of tho Nederland High School girls presented a short play , "Hollywood Stars Shine on Corn Cob Center", written and directed by the cast.

By mid- afternoon the girls were seriously protecting their rainbow ribbons, desiring to take home with them a pcrf0ct one . In that wuy , games terminated about 3:30 P .M. , for tho tin~ wo.s too short to insure the regaining of a lost color . As they left tho campus , on.ch carried a special Play Day edition of tho cdorla~d High School pupor~ Tho

(By L. D, F\1ller) So early in the morning, When the dew is on the rose, Tho world shines forth in beauty, And its mother Nature shows,

An elf is jumping here and there, And birds so sweetly sing, Tho fairies wave their wands in air, To bring tho world its spring.

Tho birds arc in tho garden, The ripples in the brook, Out come tho little squirrels, From their cozy winter nook,

This is in the early spring, The best time anyone knows, When tho birds arc in tho air, And tho dew is on tho rose,
