THE SCHOOL Since its organization in 1881, Austin High School has made wonderful progress in many ways. School was hrst held in a part of the present Pease school building, later in the basement of the First Baptist church, and still later in the temporary capitol building. When this building burned, school was held in the present Quality Cafeteria building on West Sixth until' the completion in 1900 of the high school on Ninth and Trinity Streets. The present building, completed this year, is one of the best school buildings in the State of Texas, perhaps in the Southland. Austin High School has had eight principals since its organization, each of whom has done much toward making our high school what it is today. These principals are C. A. Burchard, 1881-1882; T. E. Woodson, 1882-1883; I. H. Bryant, 1883-1895; J. E. Pearce, 1895-1900; C. S. Potts, 1900-1901; J. E. Pearce, 1901-1914; L. VQStockard', 1914-1919; J. P. Simmons, 1919- 1924; and T. A. Gullett, our present principal. Our large and beautiful building was doubled in size as a result of the $500,- 000 bond issue voted in 1924, and an issue of $150,000 in 1927. From the money realized from the sale of these bonds, our Commercial, History, and Manual Training Departments were built; the third floor of the new wing was provided for; and the library, and Home Economics and the Science Depart- ments fully equipped. Our new library is the most spacious, and best lighted, ventilated, and equipped in the State. There have been many improvements in the curriculum and in general school management. This year we have had several courses added, which when afiiliated with the Texas University, will give us a total of credits greater than those of any other Texas high school. OLGA KNIGHT. Page 19 THE ECHOOL BOARD We, the students of Austin High School, deeply and sincerely appreciate the he great interest that the Austin School Board has In A. N. McCallumts own words, hThis is the It is a mission purely of Work, the sacrifices, and t always taken in our behalf. highest honor that may befall a citizen of Austin. love for the children Whom he serves. Four of the Austin schools have been named for past members. of the Board. They are Woolridge, Fulmore, Mathews, and Metz. Among the outstanding members of the past Boards are, Wt J. Mathews, who served 23 years; Z. T. Fulmore, who served 16 years; H. M. Metz and George M. Decherd, Who served 12 years each. The presidents holding office longest are A. P. Woolridge, Who served 9 years; J. W. Smith, Who served 7 years, and George M. Decherd, Who served 6 years. t The personnel of the present School Board consists of E. A. Murchison, President; R. G. Mueller, Vice-President; Mrs. F. W. Posey, Secretary; and 'Mrs. C. W. Gardner, J. R. Reed, L. H. Blendermann, and J. Harris Gardner. MURCHISON BLENDERMANN MRS. C. W. GARDNER REED MUELLER ' POSEY J . H. GARDNER MCCALLUM Page 2 0 i ARTHUR NEWELL MCCALLUM A. N. McCallum has established a record, during his twenty-four years of service as Super- intendent 0f the Austin Public Schools, that cannot, perhaps, be equalled in the nation. Never has a vote been cast against him by the Board of Trustees; never has he lost a school bond issue. When he came to Austin, the total enrollment was 3,500; now it is 9,190. From 8M aiTiliated credits he has pushed the number to 53, which is among the highest ranking in the state. The teaching staff is more than three times as large; the tax money has been more than doubled, and the cost per child is less. Mr McCallunfs first Victory came on August 13, 1909, when a $75,000 bond issue was voted as a direct result of his efforts. When the city answered his next call for $150,000, he said, 11Austin is now awake to its opportunities and responsibilitiesN Since that time bonds amounting to $650,000 have been voted. We, the future citizens of Austin, are behind you, Mr. McCallum; build to your highest ideal. THOMAS ANDERSON GULLETT T. A. Gullett has a reputation of doing more and getting more out of the material he has to work with than any other man that has held the position of Principal of the Austin High School. He entered the Austin Public Schools as a teacher of History in the High School during the term of 1916-1917. The next year he was promoted to the principalship of Wooldridge. In 1918 he served on the Mexican border with the Y. M. C. A. After a years service he returned to his old job at Wooldridge. In 1920-1921 he was made Supervising Principal of Fulmore, Mathews and Wooldridge Schools; in 1921-1922 of Fulmore, Baker and Wooldridge. Because of his splendid previous service, he was made Principal of the Allan High in the fall of 1913. In the spring of 1924 he was made Principal of Austin High School, where he has served since that time in a way to excite our deepest gratitude. RALPH MOORE Page 2-1 V m W w 1 ., ..

The Austin Senior High at that time began what has grown to be a school observance. On that day one class of Low Eleven Seniors put a few flowers on the monument that had been erected to the boys of the Austin High School who fell in the Great Wara-some nineteen in all whose names are as follows: William B. Basford, Lewis Bell, Carl Stone Benedict, Edgar L. Bergstrom, Richard P. Bull, Marvin A. Caldwell, Calvin Clark, Leroy 'B. Creaton, Edwin Hutchings, J. S. Lind- sey, Albert S. MacDonnell, Eugene D. Penn, Charles .E. Pickney, Walter T. Scherding, Thomas Roy Taylor, H. Grady Turner, Alvin Ulit, Arthur Wil- kins. . From this small beginning grew the really beautiful observance of Armistice Day this year at the Senior High on Rio Grande Street. Early in the morning of that day the stone was removed from the old grounds on East Ninth Street to the new building. Upon arriving at the new grounds, the stone was placed upon its new base, a wide concrete step some twelve inches in depth. -. ' The services were held on the grounds as follows: The twelve eagle-scouts as a guard of honor formed a half circle in front of the stone, behind whom stood the classes, each with its representative, headed by the Low Elevens with their wreath. Behind them stood the school body, and a little to the left and to the rear, the band. ' . The Programme: Procession of the class representatives with flowers; America, the school standing at attention; Prayer by the Reverend George Green; The calling of the Honor Roll of the Dead by Captain Hubert Jones, A. E. F; Placing of the Wreath; Address by the Reverend L. H. Wharton; Placing of the class flowers; The Star Spangled Banner; Prayer by Captain Ashmore, Chaplain of the 36th Overseas Division; Taps. u. .1 his . i; .l: i: i. i ., L .3. : TL .. ..

Eat: n3; President of'the United States, Douglas Bell. 1.11 hls wa1t1ng IOOIE I was met by John Gordon Wilcox, secretary to the. premdent, who sh'owe me to a chair and handed me a bQOk containing statistlcs on the act1V1t1es. of my former classmates, which he had compiled in 1118 leisure momentsl SBttled down in a comfortable chair to read the book. . . I read that W. T. Adams was now the worlds champion heayyaweight pugilist. Doctor Nannie Adrian had startled the medical world W1th results of her laboratory experiments. Edwin Alley had replaced Hart Schaffner 8 Marxistchief model. His portrait was to be seen on every street car. Mabel Ashley and Louise Armstrong were in China, enjoying the dehghts of chop suey. Lillian Barnhart had become a distinguished prose writer. She was then writing up the want ads for the Statesman. Marie Bowles was elected Miss America. Cody Bradshaw was the city manager of Manchaca. The councilmen were as follows: Katherine Carter, Mrs. Alice Kirk, and Jennie Belle LaGrone. The Court of Criminal Appeals had for its judge the HOnora able James Clark; the judgeship seems to run in the family. Robert Billingsley, our champion library fineypayer, had enabled the high school to build a new and expensive library by his liberal donations. Mary Lee Clark was the most envied woman in London. She was Visiting the royal family. Fay Deen was the most famous woman evangelist of that time, and had promised notto get kidnapped. Professor Oleta Dobbins of the Depart- ment of Mathematics of the University of Texas had found the missing link by some algebraic equation. The outstanding cotton broker of Austin was Johnnie VVornell. The head of the department of English in Austin High was Mr. Harry Mohrrnan, and English had ceased to be a diflicult study. AuSM tin possessed a Floating Orchestra. At the piano was Ruby Lee Haberlin. Maurice Hopkins, who won the fiddlersT contest in 1930, played first Violin. Dick Hornsby, the champion doughnut eater, played the trombone, while Ryan Howard played the banjo. Herbert SWiedom was the owner of a circus; Bruce Tiller was the worlds best trapeze actor; and Ruth Wallace, the strong- est woman in the world. Frances Wetter was helping to further woman suffrage, as a member of Texas Legislature. Madeline Young was a model for a cold cream company. There was a big market for the cream, but she said she did not use the cream she advertised. Burleson Young had wedded a rich Russian duchess. Annette Savage was the president of a wife,s training school. She was teaching them 'to love, honor, and obey. Mr. Sundberg offered the hand of his daughter, Elsie, to , any rnan who could tell him how and where she wore out her shoes. She had married a former high school athlete. Marlin Humphries was a jockey. Marlin was a good one because he had his weight in the saddle only half the time. Herbert Grumbles, now a pastor, W33 preaching SO ViOIGHtIY against dancing, Page 38 that Lucille Reding, a distinguished modern dancer, threatened to take his de- nunciations to court. Miss Marie Baker was her lawyer. Stanley Irvine was Chief of Police. In the East Sixth Street district order now prevailed. Rosa Lee Johnson was a distinguished history teacher in a high school in Washington. Natural ability helped her to this position. Miss Olga Knight had opened her studio for dancing. Quentin Lacy, who attained his wealth from Buda Oil Lands, had discarded his uLeaping Lena for a Leaping Marmon. Our friend, Margaret Landrum, had just signed a contract with the Gold Wynn Film Company. Robert Lytton was a professor of astronomy. He had just discovered a new planet and named it Love because it was Visible only once in a great while. Maebess Matthews was the second women governor of Texas. She had an enviable pardon record. Homer Olsen had written a book on IIHow to Handle Women, which had a large sale among the masculine element of the United States. However, Homer married later and had charge of the household duties. I glanced up from my book just in time to see the door of the presidents office open. I could see Katherine Preece, Evelyn Sundberg, Roberta Winslow, Margaret Walsey, and Clara Osteen, a'committee of hve, endeavoring to exact a promise from the president to pass a law taxing all bachelors. Later I enjoyed a delightful chat with President Bell over the good old days spent in Austin High School. MAXINE DAVIS. LOVES LABOR LOST O, there's nothing that can equal all the efforts that I make To write and draw and make up things just for the ComctIs sake! Mrs. Bedichek announces that theyIre very much in need Of sundry contributions, so let everyone take heed. Then I get enthusiastic, and I start out on a search For sure-nuff funny ideas that will get by Mr. Fertsch. Iim sure that not a soul in school is half so bright as I, For I can write a comic tale as easy now as pie. At hrst its rather hard to do, but once I have begun, I grind out jokes and monologues and jingles one by one. I write them up in highytone style, and draw some pictures, too. And then I sort out all the ones that I believe will do. I have no doubt that all my jokes will make the reader laugh, And with an air of dignity I spring em on the staff. Then I retire and wait for all the editors to say That they have never read such funny stufir in many a day. And then the bomb explodes. At first I can't believe it's true That all the editors decide that not a thing will do!!! Then I get mad and I raise-ewell, I make it pretty hot For all the sponsors of the book and for the whole blamed lot; I vow that nevermore will I have anything to do With anyone connected with the Comet. I am through. But when the next year rolls around, I'm at it once again; I guess that I am hopelesseso there you are. Amen. HARRY BARNHART, J R.

Waiting for her newest Hdateh; Oh you bet hell not be late; Going to the balcony, Where together is their seat. By the staircase Where shehll waite For her last hcrushft for a date; You can tell she thinks Shetll always meet her true soul-mate. tTis a favorite rendezvous. And the hjelliesh wait there too. Faithful Stairway, they you laud. For you, as a stairway broad, Offer exit. Come in View Monitors for such as you. tplucky lot they care for heartaches, as they soon their duty doy. Wandhring down just two by two. Let the tardy bell ring, too; For you see the northeast stairway seemed made for a rendezvous. KATHERINE PREECE. A STUDENTS LAMENT When Ehs With unconhned Wings Hover over my head; When six. weeks my report card brings, And Dts are far ahead; , When I' decide to study some, And Visions of uPW see, The onerwho has to prison come Knows much more liberty. Brick walls do not a high school make, Nor entrance there a stude, But many it a privilege take; And boast With utterance rude. Now I have freedom in my grades- Can make from A to E, And yet the teachers me upbraids For that same liberty. KATHERINE PREECE. jUN GRADUATES ., MINETTE, Lit; inbbw G A'LEXANDER A.

To be a senior is the highest hope of all freshmen, yet some try to abuse that privilege by remaining a senior for several terms. The most common reasons for such cases are llA English, llA Algebra, Solid Geometry, and 11B Physics. We, the seniors, are granted many privileges that no other class is permitd ted to enjoy. A senior enjoys the glorious privilege of a shortened schedule and morning classes, a reward well worth striving for. More interest is taken in our elections than in those of other classes, since we elect not only the regular officers but also those who preside on class night. The seniors are planning to give a play in addition to the other activities of commencement week. We have an oilicial ring, the prettiest and best designed high-school ring to be found. Each year certain events take place for which the senior class seems to take the responsibility. One of the most laudable events of this year was the ore ganization of the student council, and, although it has not had time to develop fully, we predict a great future for this organization. Each roll-section electe ed. a representative to the council; the president, Horace Moore, was elected by the student body at large. The council has drawn up a constitution under the guidance of Mr. McPherson, the faculty advisor. The clubs this year have been entirely reorganized. New clubs have been formed so that everyone may find a club that interests him. The clubs have been given a certain class hour each week, during which they have their meet- ings. Once a week a club gives its program in assembly. Several of the clubs have issued challenges in debate and declarnation in open assembly. The Red Jackets seem to be one of the most outstanding clubs that have been organized during the year. To become a member of and to retain her membership in the Red Jackets, 21 girl must have at least a TB average on her last report. The club goes in a body to the athletic games, both at home and on other fields. The Red Jackets acted as ushers during the concerts which the band gave in March. Mrs. Marion Penn Fowler is sponsor for this group. The boys have also organized a Pep Squad; Weihope that by next year they Will appear in full regalia at all the games. Mr. Gunn is sponsoring this group. Under Mr. Silveyls direction we have even a better band than we had last year. They not only played during the games, but also helped put over sev- eral big rallies. They gave successful concerts in December and again in March, Page 71 Lit: A rr-v v-aAvw-n. Mo and have pledged one thousand dollars to the new gym. They will go to Chicago soon to represent Texas in the National Band Contest. Our Latin Department, cooperating With that of the university was host to the Latin Tournament April the first. Our students won several of the medals. that were awarded at the Latin banquet, which was given on the nlght of the first. Our school also won a trophy. During the year we have had several distinguished Visitors to talk to us. Lieutenant-Colonel Smith, in charge of recruiting students for the Citizens Military Training Camps, spoke to the student body on ilThe Value of Mili- tary Training to the Young Man. Mr. Richmond Hobson, of'Spanisha American War fame, spoke to us on HNarcotics. Mr. Fielding Yost, national- ly known football coach, talked on his ideals and his methods of training an athlete. On the same day that Mr. Yost talked, the Tarahumara Indians Were on the stage. They were entered in special marathon races the next day in the Texas Relays. During the year the drive for a new gym was started. We certainly need a new gym, as any of the basket-ball boys will tell you. Not having one of our own, they have been practicing in the university gyms. In order not to interfere with the university classes and games, they have been forced' to praca tice eitherrearly in the morning or at other inconvenient times. Ae We now have about fifteen hundred dollars in the bank, we shall soon start work on the new gym, to the end that our teams will not be forced to work under such handicaps next year. Our athletic teams have done exceedingly well this year. The football men under Coach Carson showed. real light. Stars of the football team who are seniors are Gatoura, lyVolf, Cook, Hornsby, Shults, Cutbirth, and Wilcox. The basketball team, despite the fact they were handicapped by the absence of a gym, won the district Championship. ' The track team, coached by Alton Luckett, a university student, won out in meets With San Antonio and Smithville. During the Texas Relays, the mile relay team not only won the relay, but also set a new Texas Relay and a new state record. The baseball team, coached by Harvey Williams, has started the season with an 184 Victory over Georgetown and a 22Hl Victory over the San Marcos Cubs. The tennis team is also making a good record. Seniors who are on the team are Taylor, Robinson, Shults, Rowe, and Moore. SWINT MCCLUNG. Page 72 1st... ma hswgw e. -r i g e- ; l, a w . ; WM X ; , ,1 V ..

It is called upon to play for all important state and city meetings and programs, and has responded hand- somely upon each request. Perhaps, the greatest tribute paid them was the invitation to play at the inauguration of our governor, Dan Moody. This was a very great honor, as only three hands in Texas were asked to play. The special musical number of the occasion was a march, iiOur Governor? dedicated to Governor Moody by the composer, MrMSilvey, and played by the Austin High Band. Last spring the band won out at the state band meet, and was chosen the best band, barring none, at the meet. It was chosen to represent the South at the National Meet for bands but they were not able to go due to lack of time to prepare for it. They will go this year without a doubt as they have been working toward the trip all yearn This year the band has given several delightful concerts both for entertaine ment and to raise funds for the trip to Chicago. It has pledged $2,000 toward - the gymnasium. The Austin High School band is not only the pride of Austin High School and Austin, but of Texas and the South. It has well earned its title, iTThe Wonder Band of the South. Page 8 5 '4? : ? xH: ::. :-' ....' .m- gmw A AWU'V: -. Asx-m- .. Air 44 . Aw - 4 ,-0 - -.... ,,.. r.

Page 8 7 THE,ORCHESTRA The Austin High School orchestra has been since its organization three years ago highly successful. It presents very enjoyable concerts each term, and often plays in our assembly programs. The greatest achievement of the orchestra this year was the playing of the accompaniment to the Glee Club operetta, v UThe Yokohama Maid. The orchestra is under the direction of Mr. Silvey, Who is ably assisted by Miss Maud Thomas. The work of the orchestra this year was said by competent critics to be of a highly professional type. It is undoubtedly an indispensable part of the Music Department of Austin High. 'THE GLEE CLUB The Austin High Choral Club, now called the Glee Club, is one of the oldest and also one of the most popular musical organizations in the school. In past years the Choral Club operettas were among the most important events in the high school calendar. For two years we had no operettas. Last year iiSyIviaii was put on under the direction of Mr. Silvey, and Mrs. Powell and Mr. Silvey are hoping to bring the Glee Club before the eyes of the public again by a successful presentation of HThe Yokohama Maid? The theme of the Operetta is the change Which a Visit to America has upon a demure lit- tle Japanese heiress. We are very fortunate in having unusually good voices in the club this year, so there has been keen competition for the leading roles. Besides the Operetta, the Glee Club has been represented in public by the Black Faced Quartet composed of Arthur Macchi, Lester Sobeck, C. R. Sobeck and Bob Davis. This quartet added much to the enjoyment of several programs given at assembly. As usual, members of the Glee Club will appear on the Commencement program. We feel that the Glee Club has accomplished much this yeariand look for- ward to next years work with great enthusiasm. Top row: DAVIS, SOBECK, WATTS, MILLER, C. R. SOBECK Bottom Row: GILL, BRADLEY, MURRAY, MACCHI Page 88 M- .an.... THE GOLDEN OPERETTA The Glee Club, under the direction of Mrs. Jane Powell, assisted by the orchestra, directed by Clel T. Silvey, won golden words of praise for their brilliant production of the charming little Operetta, iiThe Yokohama Maid, Which they jointly presented in the High School Auditorium on the night of April 18th. Both singers and orchestra showed evidence of careful training. It would be hard to find a more bewitching heroine than was Annabel Murray or a lovelier soprano voice than hers. Arthur Macchi, Who played the part kof the horrid 01d mayor, interpreted his part Well and displayed to advantage hie rich bass voice. The two Dorothys, Watts and Ford, added to the gaiety of the nations by their clever handling of the comedy roles, Dorothy Watts, in her portrayal of Tung-Waga, the old nurse, and Dorothy Ford, in the role of Kissimee, a daring young Japanese flapper. Others Who did justice to their parts are Lester Sobeck, Dale Miller, Claire Caswell, Eleanor Gill, and Brooks Bradley, Who played the leading male role. The chorus of iifty acquitted itself as creditably as this indispensable part of an Operetta should. CAST. O Sing-a-Song Takasi tbaritoney ANNABEL MURRAY C. R. SOBECK Fagddo WK?

ORDER OF GOLDEN A The Order of the Golden A is an honor society composed of students Who have been chosen to represent Austin High School in the literary and forensic events of the contests sponsored by the University of Texas Interscholastic League. In the past Austin High has hgured gloriously in these contests. Since the World War interest in the forensics has waned somewhat, due to the com- plexity of high school life, but measures are being taken to bring about a change in this state of affairs. The reorganizations of clubs Will work wonders in the end.

And the combatants came from all parts of the land, yea, even from the far cities of the earth. And they gathered together their forces and set the battle in array, and they numbered one hundred champions. And they warred together and the judges did cry out with a loud voice, and they rent their hair, for the battle was closely contested. To get down to facts, we are talking about the Latin Tournament, which was held here April the first. Competitors were sent from the schools in the Austin-San Antonio district. They arrived Friday morning, and lunch was served to them in the High School Cafeteria. The test was given Friday afternoon. Following the test lunch was served to the contestants and they were taken for an automobile ride through the city under the supervision of the Austin Chamber of Commerce. At seven fifteen oiclock of the same evening a banquet was held in the Unid versity Commons, with Dr. W. J. Battle of the University presiding. All was perfect, from uegg to applef including the Volstead wine which was served. The speakers of the evening were: Governor Dan Moody, Dean H. Y. Benedict, Professor S. M. N. Marts, and Superintendent A. N. McCallum. Music was furnished by the High School Orchestra. The prizes were awarded by Superintendent A. N. McCallum. Austin High School was awarded a loving cup as the school prize for the second year division. Austin had three prize winners out of ten contestants entered, as follows: Meredith Gardner, second, January beginners, irregular; Wycliffe Fisher, second, first year irregular; and Ferdi Biesele, iirst, second year Latin.

Victor Collins, former president of the club, received honorable mention in the iiNature Magazine for an essay. This is also the only club in school to edit a paper, Nature? Which iirst made its appearance in the spring of i26 With Hattie Preece as editor. This paper received mention in the paper issued .by the students of the Muncy, Pennsylvania, High School.

While in a sense this is true, there are other purposes not paramount but just as important. Those Which rank With the ones already mentioned are to increase the clubs membership and spirit in Austin High School, to promote a feeling of good Will, good fellowship, and good sportsmanship in not only its roll but the entire student body. This is another Club which has just been organized. The members can not and do not claim to have the best club in school, but they are proud of it and proud of the work that they have accomplished, Which is, as yet, unrecognized. Every effort is being made to bring up the standards of the club so that next year it will be recognized as one of the best clubs in Austin High School.

Georgetown was able to gain only hye yards through out the entire game. BurrTs 60 yard return of the first kickeoff was the thrill of the game. Dabbs was the oHensiVe star and Gatoura the defensive star of the game. Bringing a veteran football team accompanied by the entire student body, S. M. B. A. came to Austin seeking revenge. After siXty minutes of hard struggling, however, the score read 7 to O in the Maroons favor. After a se- ries of brilliant line plays, the Maroons had the ball deep in the Baptists' ter- ritory. A short pass from Burr to Dabbs resulted in a touchdown. Burr kicked goal for extra point. Determined to revenge last years IoSs to the Crimson Tide, the Mar'oons with tears in their eyes swept Main Avenue off their feet in a most thrilling game, to the tune of 14 to O. The Maroon line functioned to such perfection that only one hrst down was made by the Crimson Tide. The entire back- held played with a machine-Iike perfection. Playingtheir hrst game of the season away from home, the Austin Maroons trounced the Corpus Christi Bucanneers 21 to O, on a muddy held. The Maroon line did not allow their opponents a single first down. DabbsT sen; sational return of a Bucanneer punt for 65 yards and a touchdown was the thrill of the game. Dick Hornsby was the'star of the IVIaroon line. Dabbs scored all points. Another scalp was added to the Maroonst belt of Victories when we defeated the Gold and Blackiof Houston Central 28 to O. Cunningham, replacing Cap- tain Wolf who was out on account of sickness, played an excellent game. Vere nonis playing at end was wonderful, as was GatouraTs at center.

Smithi Ville placed second in the State Meet last year, and also beat Austin out of the District Championship; therefore, Austin was partly ree venged when we beat them this year. The winning of the mile race by Bowen and the javelin throwing of Hodges featured Austins victory. AUSTIN 57 LA GRANGE 52 SMITHVILLE 45 The Maroons next undertook to beat La Grange and Smithville at the same time. After a nip and tuck fight that was not decided until the last event of the meet had been run off, Austin emerged Victor by a five point margin. Ledlow led the hurdles in both the high and low hurdles both times for two firsts. Hodges continued HOWZE to throw the javelin further than any one else for another first place. Although these were the only first places won by Austin, the meet was won largely by those Maroons who took second, third and fourth places. TEXAS RELAYS Austin entered in five events and placed in three of the events. Forrest Ledlow took The medley relay team tied with Breckenridge of San Antonio for first place. A flip of the coin turned in favor of Brackenridge and Austin received second place; but Austin came back to win the mile relay. They led their closest competitor, which happened to be Brackenridge, by a good twenty yards. In winning this race, Chote, Lynch, Cutbirth, and Dabbs established a new record for the Texas Relays. The old record was 3:36, Austin lowered it to 3:31. ,m-ik't www-mu-mmw wmawmnmw mwmy. w-r-Uu vmw-u,..,...mx., H. a amp .4 5:.wa3wwr; ,,..J many. vs. w ...v 61. m .. mu 1 ...4: o ,W.

With such men as Dabbs and Spencer running the century, other teams had small chances of winning. In the 220 dash they were assisted by Raatz, who could always place in the stiffest kind of competition. I-IURDLES Led by Ledlow, I. Cook, and Pedigo, Austin chances for points in the hurdles were excellent. DISTANCE RUNS In the 440, the Maroons had capable performers in Chote, Lynch, Cunningham and Bothmer. Parker and Cutbirth excelled in the 880. Austin had two good milers in Bowen and Childre. WEIGHTS BURR Wilson Cook and Nick Gatoura were AustinIs flrst raters in the shot put. Hodges was the best in the javelin. Burr placed in most meets. Sellers and Howze twirled the discus in flne fashion. FIELLD EVENTS In the broad jump Austin was represented by Dabbs and Cunningham. In the high jump Yates and Pedigo soared through the air for points. Russell and Thorpe, two new men, represented Austin in the pole vault. MILE RELAY TEAM In this event the Maroons have a strong bid for State honors. With Chote, Lynch, Cutbirth, 2nd Dabbs running the quarter in less than 53 seconds, other teams will have to go some to beat them.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT The department of Health Education for Girls, under the direction of Miss Mildred Goff, constitutes a prominent part of student life, academic as well as eXtrchurricula work. The department sponsors athletic activities such as G. A. A., swimming and interclass games. The class work, consisting of some formal work, folk dancing, posture corrective, and both highly organized and simple games, aims to develop in each individual a physical fitness. A health lecture is given each week, by Which it is hoped that helpful habits may be developed and maintained. One day each term is devoted to posture, and those coming up to the standard are awarded iiGood Posturei, tags. The Girls Ath- letic Association and the Health Education Department work handginahand for practically the same ends. Annual swimming classes are held for high school stu- dents. At least one time during the year, class teams in a certain sport are se- lected, and interclass games are played. Once a year a Frolic among the schools is held, and a banner is awarded to the school Winning the highest number of points in the various contests. The first year this banner was won by Austin High, and this year we are determined to Win it again.

Every year a team is selected from each class, and interclass games are played. Much competition between. the classes is developed, and the crowd of spectators, each rooting for her chosen team, is always large. Last year,tgames were played between the 2nd and 3rd and between the 4th and 5th period classes, the 3rd and 5th periods Winning. in their respective games. In the fol- lowing contest, the 5th period came out Victorious, and automatically played the 6th period, the advanced class. BY; this heated contest the 6th period was declared champion pin guard team of the school. The contests are held to develop not only teamwork, team spirit, and loyalty, but also true sportsmand ship-the kind that plays the game fairly and squarely, and takes Victory modestly, or defeat With a smile.

A. are given to girls Who have earned the required number of points in the various ways. Points may be won in swimming, hiking, skating, keeping hygiene, and many other ways. A maroon and White num- eral of the year of her graduation is given the girl who presents 200 points, a small block A for 400 points, a large block A for 800 points, an Old English A for 1100 points, and a small gold A pin for 1350 points. If a girl has earned 1500 points, she is eligible to be voted on by a committee, consisting of a faculty member, a G. A. A. council member, the G. A. A. president, a G. A. A. member, and the G. A. A. adviser, to have her name engraved. on the cup. The name on the cup means much more than merely having obtained the re- quired number of points. The candidate must be an all-around girl; she is graded on initiative, grades, prominence in student activities, character, and other points. This is the highest award that can be bestowed upon a member.

Spanish moss, holly, and mistletoe with Christmas bells in profusion lent a holiday air to the spacious halls and par- lors of the old hotel. Nell Berwick honored Hal Armstrong in the Grand March which was followed in rapid succession by the modern dances. Punch was served during the evening to the young folks, and dancing began at nine and ended at twelve. What Really Happened In the bare rooms of the ancient Driskill, the Margaret Prestons attempted to pull a dance. The Grand lVlarch resembled a grand push in the lunch room line. Miss Nell Berwick, who led the march, wore Florsheimls No. 10. Hal titosisy Armstrongls baby face looked exceedingly rosy and Chubby, due per- haps to Eagle Brand and his pink checked romper suit. Hundreds of people were asked but no date lists were attempted, except for the M. Pfs; so for once in their happy young lives they got a fairly good rush. There were some two hundred Stags and some twenty-five girls. There were no decorations other than the chaperones. Dancing lasted as long as the punch did. THE PORT ARTHUR GAME The first break of the game came when the Red Jackets pranced upon the field. The Jackets were led by Miss Dorothy tMoonl Whats, Mrs. Prowler. and Miss Tiny CaSWell ttheir Scream Leaderl. This is believed to be the only time in history that Frances Landrurn and Tiny have been seen apart. Miss Hula Mathews could be sighted immediately among the confusing mass of colors, because of her bovine gambol. Miss Julia Brake tbecause of her breaksl and Elisabeth Leslip came in late or we should not have missed them. Mary Nell GrifEth, the UPride of the Red Jacketsll tremember the Bracken- ridge tripy was there and was as popular as ever. Miss Rebecca Nimon tsornea times known as llThe Covered Wagonll because of her long hairy was there, too, and her figure showed to an advantage in the Red Jacket uniform. Miss Mary Ellen tSlowy Poke was there and was the only Red Jacket in step. Cow Lou Yarrington was also one among the five thousand Red Jackets. The Jackets attempted a clever stunt between halves but failed to put it over. They lacked co-operation and coordination. With all these breaks against them, no wonder Port Arthur lost.

THE LITERARY DISGUST There is keen rivalry between the clubs of the school. Each claims to be the best. The four clubs in the running are the Sappos, The Hyppos tso named because of their similarity to hippopotamiy, the Pesterers and the Many Fishes. The Disgust will quote from the club press and try to give an im- partial presentation of this much discussed question. uThe Skelley Squelch tHypposy takes a sarcastic attitude in referring to the matter. To quote the Squelcb: iiThere seem to be some people who profess to doubt that the Hyppos are superior. Any person in his right mind should be able to tell that the mem- bers of this Club' are the cream of the social world. In a literary contest, they Were rather unfortunate because the judges made a mistake in their decision. uOh, heck tbecause we are too refined to say the naughty wordy, begins an article in the TDaily Blah, tM PJ the student body seems to haVe lost its senses. Of course, the Margaret Pesterers are the best club. Did not we give a big dance during the fall term? We'll admit that we shall be in debt on that account for the neXt three years, but does that matter, uThe Saturday Evening Boast tSapposy seems to realize that the Hyppos, who are the Sapposi only rival for hrst place, have considerably raised their social standing since Tiny, Zula, and others got out. uButW to quote the Boast, iieverybody says that our tea was the most enjoyable social event of the year. We shanit mention the Many Fishes. Nobody else does; so why should we. TiThe Monthly Hash tRed Jacketsy says that none of the clubs are good, and if any of them were good, none of them would be better than the others. The iiHash seems to be as uncertain as Aunt Kressieis. HThe Weakly GalootH tindependenty states that it was intended by the officials of the school to have everybody in a club. This plan almost failed because the non-club members were afraid that the new clubs just organized would resemble the old clubs, and they wouldn't join. iiThe Disgustii wishes to express the opinion that the ofhcials wanted a club for'every teacher in the school, but were faced with a shortage of teachers. arse Jingle, jingle, little bell, I am weary; feel likeawell, Iill not say just now, but, saya Wonit you jingle anyway, Page 157 .V... d... .2 WHERE AM I AT?

MERIDITH GARDNER. ALL HIGH SCHOOL VAUDEVILLE BY THE COMET REPORTER 1. A short talk tof an hours lengthy by the manager, ticket-seller, or- chestra director, ticket-taker, usher, curtain-raiser and electrician combined in one, tT. A. Gd 2. Miss Mary Williams then sang a song, a la Galli-Curci, accompanied by Harold Caldwell on the drums. 3. Mr; Kit Carson whisd pered us a few secrets on the NArt of Speaking Loud at Rallies. 4. Next came the announcement that Mrs. Mayne would direct the audience in singing the uHigh School Songh over ten times. Following this announcement, con- fusion reigned until some one made the timely suggestion that chewing gum could be found under the chairs. Then the prize act of the season. 5. Miss Frances Landrum, attired in a monocle, brought forth a spontaneous free-will offering by a pleasing dance. 6. . The hnal number on the program was a four-part play, entitled IIWaiting at the Church? Madame Willie Harvey acted the part of the bride so realistically that Dr. Goodie-Good, the groom, was just thrilled to death. Madame Harvey was daintily garbed in ivory satin and maidenly eblushes. She bore on her arm a bouquet of bitter-weed and onions, which touching floral offering from the groom moved all beholders to tears. Dishpanis IiFuneral March was played while the bride and attend- ants entered, and Mr. Ham Saigler played iiRaps immediately after the ene trance of the bride. The last three acts were omitted by request.

They are ultra chic and devilishly cute. Every girl in Austin is going to want a dozen pairs just like them. Just imagine how business will thrive at the Majestic ManIs Shop! I will say no more.

Page 161 PLAY THAT SONG AGAIN I heard one day a soft, sweet song, Like mother used to sing A haunting, southern melody, Sweet as the breath of spring It made me think of country lanes, Roses and mockingabirds, An old time southern farmhouse, Content too deep for words. The neXt time that I' heard that song, Was in a cabaret; They tore it into tatters To make your shoulders sway. I seemed to be in Africa, The wildweyed Zulus pranced To the death-beat of the tomatorn, In a mad deathadealing dance. I heard that song a thousand times, I think, within a week; Pianos played it, every band, And phonographs that squeaked. I heard' it on the golf course, In dining room and den, And if you want to drive me wild, JUST PLAY THAT SONG AGAIN! CECIL MAE HANCOCK. TIWAS THE WEEK OF THE FINALS TIwas the week of the linals and all thru the houses, Gil burned at midnight; there were no carouses. When in one house there arose such a noise, One knew it was. made by two hopeless boys, Boning for Chemistry, dreading a flunk, Even. the girls had given up their junk. Their lipsticks lay idle, their vanities closed. They studied their English; King Rouge was deposed. They had caroled and danced all the long term so gay. Now finals had come, only two days away. Their songs now were hushed, no jazz in the air. Oh, take warning whilst time, poor studes, and prepare. The finals are coming, relentless as Fate. UVIy prayers are with youy. Work ere itIs too late!

Youare always Smiling, laughing, Working, singing, Getting, giving, Looking, seeing, Hoping, waiting, Seeking, linding, And using What you lind. You are always happy. You seem to take life, Not as a burden, But as a song Which, Sung Right, Cheers not only your fellowman, Making him believe in God and Nature, But yourself as well. And so You sing it as it. should be sung, And I like you. INSPIRATION Itls rather pleasant to review My compositions When theylre thru. What errors, blunders, do I see Whenel er I read them carefully! Each line contains a looming fault Which causes me to think and halt; And When I do mistakes detect, I laugh, and make them half-correct. But 0 the humor that I fwd! And, as I'm not entirely blind, I see Within them something that Stirs much the llthing beneath my hat. Unknowingly, I oft compare A smart idea Which, bestows Real thought, and upon its release I find Ilve writ another piece! DREW C.

ROSS HARDWARE CO. 3 19 CONGRESS AVENUE DOC, DAD, PHENIXm BREAK INTO PRINT Skylarking Trio Set Woods Afire in Wild and Wooly West The ease with which the average publicity hound can impose himself on the innocent newspaper reporter in for- eign parts and palm himself off as a person of importance in his home town is well illustrated in the following story clipped from the Idaho Falls Post of August 18, 1926: THREE OF A KIND A Wheezy Ford came wheezing in with two pedagogical looking males in the front seat, and another individual in the back so encased in army blankets that it was impossible to detect his peculiarities until he emerged from his cocoon. He proved to be B. H. Good, head of the history department of the Senior high school at Austin, Texas. The other two were C. T. Silvey, musical director, and J. D. Phenix, math. instructor in the same institution. All three were unattached and unaflili- ated young men and not opposed to the idea of matrimony--and furthermore, therels lots more of that same kind rune ning around loose in Austin. The three have'toured to the coast, attended the summer term at Berkeley and are this far on the home stretch. Now to take them individually: MAKES MUSIC IN HIS SLEEP Silvey is not only a wonderful band master with the only uniformed high school band in Texas, but he can cook eboil eggs and make coffee. He was originally from Missouri4a good place to be from, and' he holds the worlds championship for snoring. After he goes to sleep, his comrades gently but firmly carry him from the. tent and deposit him at a safe distance where the uncouth noise keeps away all ma- rauding people and animals. Remem- ber, we said he was musically inclined. Oh yes, hes a kodak fiend, and con- stantly stops the procession so that he may get a snap shot of all the unusual Slghts he sees. BUT WILL IT BE Goon FOR MRS. Gooo Now for Mr. Good who holds down the back seat, along with the suit cases, Skillets, etc. When ever he gets lost,. his companions have learned that he will be found conversing with a group of women. He is quite set in his ways and arises at the unconventional hour of 5:30 a. m. After performing his daily dozen, he shaves, and then an- nounces to Silvey and PheniX that it is 8 olclock. They arise only to find it 6:30. HeeMr. Good-wis thought to be seriously considering matrimony in the near future as he has already asked ' the other boys to sell him their shares in the camp equipment.
