Proofs of Senior
Pictures Arrive
Proofs of the senior and faculty
pictures caused quite a stir in Cle-
burne High when they arrived this
past week. The proofs, for tlie
most part, are living up to ail
expectations and are by far the
best we have yet had. Three
proofs were received by nearly
everyone and at least one was
flattering enough to be used in
the annual. The selected proof
will be mailed back to the Wheat
Studios in Houston this week and
the finished pictures will be re-
tuined some time after Christ-
mas.
As the paper goes to press, the
junior, sophomore and the fresh-
man class pictures have not ar-
rived, but they are expected this
week and will be distributed as
soon as possible. There will be
six small pictures which may be
purchased for 35 cents and an en-
largement for an additional 30
cents.

come here, and to express to them
all the most joyous of all the
Christmas’s that this might make
up in a small way for all the lost
Christmas’s that were endured
overseas, or in camps all over
the country.
Therefore if any C. H. S. stu-
dent has it in his power to make
this Christmas more joyous for
one who has returned home, or
even to make it lighter for one
who has lost a loved one in the
war just concluded, they are urg-
ed to do so.
The Yapper Staff wishes the
students and faculty a Merry
Christmas and a happy New
Year.

Ed Bauldwin, ex-student of C.
H. S., writes from Camp Lawrence,
Navy Boot Camp, that the Navy
is the finest organization "that
I have had the pleasure of join-
ing.” He says that he "gets up
around 4:15, makes up his bed,
runs madly for a shower, and
shaves—if you don’t have any
beard you still shave' Then he
starts shing his shoes-"so you
can see yourself in them.” Then
it’s time to fall in for morning
muster. “That’s just to check and
see if any of the fellows got dis-
gusted during the night and de-
cided to go over the fence."
"After roll call comes chow: The
first few days it does not appeal
to your stomach, but gradually
you become used to it." After
chow you grab a quick smoke,
hustle back t’o huts, “fall in”
again, and are quickly marchod
out on the grounds where you
spent the next few hours. After
you have gone through the man-
ual of arms and a million other
things, you drag back to the hut.
ard it is about time for chow
again, so you run wash your
hands, and fly back, to be sure
you don’t miss the great point
of the morning-mail!
“After you’ve read your mail

fall in for clow. Then, back to -
the huts only to find you have
to fall in again and march over
to the dear old school where you
see one of the many training
films the Navy shows you—only
about half the company takes a
much needed nap and after it’s
over, and you arc quizzed on it
and don’t-know a thing about it,
you are placed in the Goon squad
which gets you a little extra in-
struction while everyone else is
fast asleep. Then, it’s time for
chow again—. After that all you
have to do is dig around and
gather up all your dirty clothes
