As the picturesque gaucho of the Argentina pampas rides herd over his cattle and sheep, so the administrators and teachers of Brackenridge High School are Hin the saddle!! directing and guiding the activities and studies of Brackenridge students.

The gaucho, similar to our cowhoy, wears a poncho fa piece of cloth with a hole in the middle for the heady, spurs, a hlaclc, stiff- hrimmed hat tied under his chin, a leather apron on his left thigh, and always carries a Iasso and a long, sheathed knife in his heit. Living on his horse, he traverses the rolling treeless plains, called pampas, tending his herd. Life on a great cattle plantation, or estanciero, in Argentina is f - cinating.
