OFCtvcril Because each one of us has in him a bit of the idealism of Don Quixote and some of Sancho ' s common sense, we have chosen this theme. May we all catch a glimpse of our own frustrated attempts at glory in the fool- hardy enterprises of the poor misguided knight. Miguel de Cervantes wrote the entertain- ing histor - of the mad don ' s adventures in 1605 and dedicated his book to the Duke de Bejar. In it he put much of his own ardent, imaginative, but unlucky self, one more versed in misfortunes than fortunate in verses. tmsinns The School Qlasses School Tear Favorites Organizations Athletics V mla Members of Texas High School Press Association National Scholastic Press Association Here sits Sancho Panza in all his bumptious ignorance on the throne of authority (as many another has done since). ' hen Don Quixote decided to be- come a knight-errant, he persuaded Sancho to be his squire, promising him the governorship of an island as a reward for faithful services. Governor Sancho said of his master, I love him; he returns my affec- tion; and abo -e all I am faithful; and therefore it is imf)ossible thiit anything should part us but the sexton ' s spade and sho el.

Fight! f3 THE DAILY PARADE Rushing to early morning roll-call in fair or stormy weather, ye stude always has time to answer the cheery greeting of Mr Jones or Thurston Barlow, or Charlie Pratt, or maybe Mr. Gullett himself. At the noon hour, vhat a joy for ye stude to stroll arm in arm with his best friend. The oasis of cold drinks and sweets beckons enticmgly. but he resolutely marches on. Tlie sixtli period comes to an end. and the whole pent-up mob bursts forth joyously and be- takes itself to House Park, the Avenue, or where you will. 4 SALVE ATQUE ALE AUSTIN HIGH SCHOOL The freshman sees the old high srhoni throiiiili rose-colored Klii ' ses; lie thrills with unutlerable pride as he first timidly ascends the main stairway. The years pas- and. srowlnR familiar, he loses some of his awe. Then his last year comes. KorBotten are those quizzes he failed to pass. Only the memories of his triumphs and the lovinR farer. of friends crowd around him when, as a senior, he says Rood-bye to his old htgli school. K K_J kG) SOUTH ENTRANCE Here the fair Dulcineas and Allisadoras fare forth at the lunch hour to resort to their favorite pastime of talking or to stroll, arm in arm, along the pleasant walks. Those friendly trees have heard most every senonta tell her secrets — how she kept tryst with certain young Dons; of her likes and dislikes. The thought of this entrance will remain fresh in our minds as one of the pleasant memories of our High School Life, SOl ' TH VIEW OF SCHOOL .., . ' n ' i ' ' . ' ■ ' ' ' ° ' i ?

The small park in the street and the trees and shrubs on the school grounds fit in with the natural beauty and slateliness of our school pleaTlnt ' merrrerof ICi ArmTM Uer ' ' ' ' ' ' = ' ' J ' ' ° = =• ' ' Seniors take away THE WEST ENTRANCE It is here that the young dons spend most of their time, except when they are in the office. In the morning, at noon, and after school, they gather in bull sessions to discuss anything, everything, and all things, but mamly their senor ' itas and their bull-fights. Their enthusiasm waxes chili-hnt at times. This part of the building is as dear to the hearts of the student body as La Mancha was to the heart of Don Quixote. HOUSE PARK The fod of ii is bathed wiih the rooters ' tears, of icy or despair, and the baU-luggers ' sweat. The very air rings with the eclioes of half-forgotten s( ngs and yells, or of some name, clorious in the annals of our school, shouted high f.ir alKive the rest. Here was the fibre of our manhood toughened. Here we learned loyalty, trust, courage, sclf- sacrihce. and dev jtion to a common cause THE GYM Two years ago, vague ideas formed themselves into a vision of a new, well-equipped gymnasium for Austin High School. Today our dreams are nearer a realization than ever before; de nite plans have been made for our gym. And when the day comes when basket-ball games are hotly contested there, when Health Education classes are held there regularly, when parties and concerts draw crowds to it, every student of Austin High will proudly smile and say I helped. ' ' , 5 I ' •Thtt comc ioao ' f l l s, Making Our Dreams Come True Those of us who were here during the winter of 1926-27 will t er remember the slogiin Shelter the Maroons which influenced us to ii crt part of our allowances to build a gym for the I ' nsheltcred Maroons. The original [ilan called for a structure to care for the immediate needs of the basketball team. Clubs, organizations, students and teachers rall.ed to the cause. Con- tributions were made possible by rummage sales, silver teas, assembly programs and what-not. Thanks are due the hundreds of students and the teachers who contributed to the g m. When the drive for funds was over and we had exceeded our quota of $2000 by several hundred, our happiness was unbounded. We soon learned, though, that it would be some time before a gymnasium could be built. We were cheered only by the assurance that a building, finer than we had dared hope for, would lie constructed. But we were to wait. Now two more years have passed and the S eniors of ' 29 are the last group in school who had a part in the great campaign. Though we, like those who have passed on during the past two years, shall never participate in the pleasure the new gym will make possible, yet, we shall be able to say with great pride — A gift (to the extent that we made it possible) to those Austin high bo s and girls who will be here after we are gone. We shall ne er cease to be grateful to our principal, Mr. T. A. GuUett, who was our guide and inspiration thruoul the campaign for a gymnasium. Praise and appreciation are also due Mr. McCallum and the Austin School Board for making our dreams come true by giving us a gym in the construction of which we ourselves are proud to have played a part. i Page tT -. - rT fjO J i mcr r- ' D:: n -The COm t? 1030 ij I I i Mr. a.

Your Alma Mater has behind it a long record of distinguished service in the mak ing of men and women. In all the years of its history, it has stood for sincere work, for devotion to the finer things of life, for intellectual as well as moral honesty, for impatience with the shallow and the sham, for clear thinking and clean living. My feeling is one of an.xiety that all the good things of life may come to you, that you may find a way to still higher achievement — not only in personal advancement, but by your own definite contributions in spirit and in vision to life of this community and of the State we love Sincerely, J-. .

And could I but keep all the joys of this time. Till the years heavy hang o ' er my head. It would seem that even the heavenly clime. Would l)e futile and vain in its stead. Though the much suffered nightmares of final exams, Act as some slight check to my pride, I have long been convinced of the widsom of crams. Without which I soon would have died. So when my diploma is handed to me, My nose shall go high in the air; And a more l)lithesome Senior, through this broad land and free Will be most hard to find, anywhere.

A. ( ' .. That was the beginning of our career in the high school which wi- lia e learned to love. During our second year a few were called to the office, and some flunked out. Other than ibis, nothing very exciting happened. At last we are .Seniors, that event to which we ha e looked forward for three long -ears, some of us for more. During our first two years in High -School, we did not boast of many celeb- rities, but now we have a number who have distinguished themselves in various ways. Those who have made an A average during their entire course through high school are as follows: Julia Hornberger, Alexander Louis, Juanita Stone, and Elias Catoura. Two members of our class, Charles Pratt and Marvin Hale, were representatives to the Students ' Council. Wherever you go, you find a model, and so you find one here. In all his life he has never been abeent frcm, or late to school. Of course you know his name, — Ivan McEiroy. Ivan has also attained the high degree of Eagle Scout. Our football heroes were Edwin Thorpe, Jay Patterson, and Freddie Bulian. At District Meet Thurston Barlow won first place in Declamation. As seniors, our Freshman dread of the name T. A. C. has passed. The mean- ing of this name has been revealed to us and with this revelation has come a lo •e and respect for him which will grow as the days pass on. Our troubles and mis- understandings have vanished under the faithful guidance of our principal. Our time in High Scho,)l is out, and we must now enter higher institutions of learning or pursue our arious ways, but it is with regret that we leave dear old Austin High and its entire faculty. MiGNON LeTulle. I y Page SI he tt tntt laaq ' June Class History k Now that we find ourselves ancient, serious seniors, we stop and wonder. Why, we ' ve made history! So we set out to write it down. We stir up our feeble memories and at last decide that it was in the fall of 1926 that we made our debut in Austin High School. We remember with glee our first football games, our clubs, our Red Jackets, our band. We recall with rather shame-faced smiles our U-notes, chewing-gum, running to lunch, and hospital experiences. -But we defend ourselves; one is a freshman in Austin High School only once; why not do something to remember it by? And then we were juniors, and my — weren ' t we proud. We could look down on the freshmen! Glorious privilege! And now that we have attained the highest point, we pause amazed. We find that we aren ' t nearly so intelligent, handsome, or sophisticated as we ex- pected to be. We still feel like mere children, and we wonder if the freshmen look up to us as we fondly hope they do. As a class, we have shown ourselves loyal to our school. In the gymnasium campaign Mary Williams was one of the most active and efficient workers. We have rallied to help Miss Nina on Thanksgiving. Members of our class ably as- sisted in the sale of tickets for the Parent-Teachers ' benefit vaudeville.

Li the District Latin Tournament at San Marcos, Willard Hollander and Amneris Walker won first places. Amneris later won third place in the state in fourth year Latin. In the district Interscholastic League Meet at Georgetown, our class was ably represented by the veterans, Martin Casey and Joe Munster, who won first place in boys ' debate. Irene Comer, Mary Katherine Decherd, Leona McNeely, and Emabel Lear were on the Typewriting Team. Irene won the honor of representing the school in the state meet. Miriam Buchholz won first place in charcoal and second in oils in the art contest. Mark Storm won first place in oils and Susie Lou Cunningham second in charcoal. The class of ' 29 was represented on the gridiron by Drennon Monk, Delmar Groos, Bob Wier, and Joe Munster; on the diamond by Steve Williams, Vernon Cook, Clifton McDonald, Bennie Rundell, and Billy Disch; and in tennis by Karl Kamrath, Joe Bill Bralley, Sterling Williams, and Wickliffe Fisher. Our class is a large one, a memorable one.

During our first year we were very sucessful in all scht)ol activities. The orchestra, band, and Red Jackets, and clubs welcomed many of our number as members. The football team claimed several from our group; as did track, basketball, baseball, golf and tennis. Some of our outstanding representatives are Osborn Hodges, Jimmie Gallatin, Bobbie Randolph, Julian Clopton, Neely Gilliland, and Fred Parsons. Tom White, Grace Jones, and Maurice Walden entered the one-act play contest and were in the district tournament. Lillian Ammann and Dorothy Bryan represented us in the interscholastic debates and won the state champion- ship. Some of us who are famous for high scholastic averages are Lillian Ammann, Marie Bernheim, Dorothy Bryan, Evelyn Heatly, Jack Kellam, Edmund King, Ivis McLaurin, Evelyn Olson, Mineola Page, Virginia Penick, Saviour Perrone, Judith Sternenberg, Elizabeth Woodward, Jane Pearce, Floy Robinson, Margaret Ezell, Daphne Sellards, and Elizabeth Correll. As Juniors, we are looking forward to our senior year with great enthusiasm and hope to make it an even greater success than out two preceding years. W. M. T.

The president is nominated by the Council frf)m the student body and elected by the students as a whole. The candidates speak to the students in assembly before they are voted on. This year Joe Munster was chosen president. The other othcers are as follows: l ' loy Robinson, vice-president; Tom (Iraham, secretary-treasurer, Mr. Roy McPhersoii, farult - sponsor. The Students ' Council ' s first .service this year was to collect an offering for the poor on Christmas. Kach representati e made a speech to his respective roll-section to forward the nio enient. The offerings were taken to the Sal- vation Army and distributed by that organization. Another service of the .Students ' Council was in promoting a program given by the Parent-Teacher Association. This program was given for the benefit of a fund used for entertaining the graduates, for a student loan fund, and for other worth - causes. The Students ' Council, since its organization several years ago, has been of great service to the administration of the school and to the student body and, through it, a spirit of school loyalty is fostered.

The Maroon is a six to eight page paper which is issued semi- monthly by the staff and the Journalism Department. The Austin High Maroon tied with the Purple Pup of Houston for first place in class 3A schools in the southeast district of the Interscholastic League Press Contest. The Maroon was represented by two delegates at the Interscholastic Press Conference in May. Journalism has been added to the curriculum of Austin High School this year, also. This course is divided into two parts: news gathering and reporting, and news editing. The first semester, there were only nine enrolled in the Journalism class, but by the beginning of the second semester the course had grown in popularity until the class contained thirty pupils. Miss Margetta Patterson teaches Journalism and is the faculty sponsor of the Maroon. Miss Patterson has a B. A. degree from the College of Industrial Arts at Denton and a B. J. degree from the llniversity of Texas. She came to Austin High School with ample experience; and, under her guidance, the publish- ing of the Maroon has become a pleasure to the staff and the paper itself a credit to the school.

After a written contest, which lasted three hours, the contestants were honor guests for a theatre party at a local theatre, later for a band concert, the grand finale being a banquet which lasted from 7:30 until 10:00. At this banquet, awards were presented to those winning first places.

In 1928, The Trysting Place by Booth Tarkington was the play chosen and directed by Mr. Raymond Gerhardt. This year, the dramatics class decided upon W. W. Jacobs ' The Monkey ' s Paw as the appropriate play for the contest. Everyone in the dramatics class and anyone else, who had some previous experience and wished to try-out, chose a five- minute act and tried for the character in the plaj ' which he thought himself best suited for. Miss Eva Mae Moore, the director, chose the cast from some thirty contestants. The cast did some splendid work and gave the play in a very creditable fashion. The success of this play, as well as others presented by the Dramatics Depart- ment, depended largely upon the director. Miss Moore came to Austin from Waco. She is a graduate of Baylor University. Miss Moore is now directing the senior play, The Country Cousin by Booth Tarkington. The cast for this four-act comedy was also chosen by five-minute try-outs with Miss Moore as judge. White, Purnell, Barnhart, Walden, Jones. Page rS he COmgFioao g_ . ( El Teatrito Espaiiol d During the fall term, 1928, the lOA Spanish class, with a nieniUership of 30, was studying Carrion y Vital Aza ' s comedy, Zaraguela, under the direction of Miss N ' era Lee Moore. As a part of the class work, they dramatized scenes from the play once or twice a week. Through this process, talent was discovered, and it was decided to include the comedy on the Spanish Night program to be given by the two Spanish clubs. Try-outs were held in which each member of the class participatetl. Kach contestant was rated on four points: voice, pronunciation of Spanish, intonation, and pantomime. Impartial judging, in accordance with the Intcrscholastic League rules, resulted in the selection of the following cast: Carlos, Nephew of don Indalecio Edmund King Maruja, Cousin of Carlos Phyllis Rrooks Don Indalecio, Richest planter in the village Cecil Kirk Dona Dolores, Wife of don Indalecio Mineola Page Don Saturio, Xillage doctor Eldon Dunlap Zaragueta, Wealthy money lender of Madrid Ira Hildebrand Dona Blasa, Garrulous neighbor of dona Dolores Ailsa Posey Pio, Son of dona Blasa.- Andrew Broome Gregoria, Maid Nan Gilbert Perico. Servant Waymon Peavy Ambrosio, Coachman Carl Smith This cast, with the assistance of the two clubs, successfully presented one of the best programs given by the High .School this year. In January, members of the original cast who were members of Los Habladores were formally organized into El Teatrito Espanol (The Spanish Little Theatre). This organization will present a one-act coitiedy, Los Pantalones as the feature number on the program for the second anniversary banquet of the Los Habladores club. 1 Second Row: Hildebrand, Dunlap, Kirk, Broome;, Smith, I ' eavy.

That Favorite Election Nothing arouses quite so much excitement and real anxiety in this school as the annual favorite election. Several days before the nominations close, it is not an unusual sight to see an unnominated girl or even a boy rushing around to get those necessary twelve signatures that assure his nomination. Final- ly the last one is obtained, and the weary nominee drops the precious sheet into the chuck-box at F12. Countless numbers believe themselves qualified but lack initiative (nerve) to nominate themselves. After the election, many ambitious studes, anxious to get out of study hall and eager to learn the results, volunteer to count votes but later regret their hasty steps. Anxious nominees line up in front of F12 in a desperate attempt to learn if they have a chance. When the results of the first election are announced, there is much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. Comes the second election, and with it there is even a greater suspense than before. As time goes on, several nominees become overpowered with anxiety because thay have failed to be notified of their election. Visits to the studio become frequent events with these said people. After many long toilsome work-outs, perusing the musty files, they sadly return to the uneventful routine of school. Now the suspense is broken. We present the Favorites. But don ' t blame us — you elected them yourselves. M iiSS _ : M Sancho and the don meet here Master Peter and his famous puppet-show. (During the performance which followed, the energetic knight disorganized this fair organization, a crisis sometimes experienced in our own high school.) ()ur (|in ' xotic hero became so absorjjed in the exciting drama that he drew his sword and went to the aid of the fleeing puppets, thus demolishing the whole organization. When he came to himself, he paid the forty reals demanded by Master Peter as damages. Modern youth now sees and hears the talkies for fifty cents. 1 htt contact 1020 The Order of Red Jacket OFFICERS J 111 A Dkakk President Fi.ov RoniNsoN Vice-president Sarah Makcakkt Bi.air Secretary-Treasurer DoKoniv HVKAN Adki.ic Bakhisch Yell Leailers DoRoriiv Siii:i.nv Miss Dokothv I ' akkrr Sfionsor Mrs. W.

In this they have succeeded wonderfully well and are looking forward to beginning next year with a clean record.

Its increased activity bjgan with the project, in cooperation with Los Habadores, of equipping the Spanish club room; and, due largely to the efforts of its new sponsor, the club has become one of Austin High ' s most representative organizations. In January El Arco Iris and Los Habladores were proud sponsors of Spanish Night. But while working harmoniously together, they display much friendly rivalry. In March the clubs played two very exciting basket ball games, each winning one. The club was invited several times to assist University Spanish organizations with programs, and received considerable recognition. Recuerdos Irisados, the club scrapbook, contains the new Constitution, By-Laws, and Ritual prepared by a committee with Isabel Wofford as Chair- man. It boasts also a club song written in Spanish by the President. Several social meetings were enjoyed. The last meeting was an outdoor installation of officers and picnic supper. k i Third Koi ' : . co eiJo, MuL-hring, Pope, Roye, Perales, Sepulveda. aides, Xanlaiulinyhani Wofford, Jernigan.

Membership, the first year, was limited to pupils of 8A Spanish. Since its organization, the club has steadily grown in numbers, enthusiasm, and accomplishments. The main events of last year were the adoption of the club Cheer Song composed by Miss Moore, the adoption of the club yells composed by a yell committer, the celebration of the first anniversary banquet, and the attainment of a rival standing with Arco-Iris. The accomplishments of this year include a membership of 52, the purchase of a piano and lock-desk for our club room (with the aid of Arco-Iris), the ambitious Spanish Night program (with the assistance of Arco-Iris and Miss Moore ' s lOA class), the organization of El Teatro Espanol in January, the annual party at th home of the sponsor, the presentation to the club of a beautiful banner by Zack Scott, the organization of a club basket ball team, and the cele- bration of the second anniversary banquet to be held May 13, in the club room.

There were thirt - charter members, and about ten new members have since been added by the try-out system. The candidate for membership was required to choose a short monologue which he presented before the members of the theatre. The Little Theatre members graded the candidate on the following basis: choice and interpretation of monologue — iS 1-3, action and pantomime — ii 1-3, and diction — ii 1-3. Each person was required to make an average grade of 85 before he was admitted into the organization. The purpose of the Little Theatre is to learn and present plays. Among other programs of the year, the Little Theatre presented in the high school auditorium a group of three one-act plays which were thoroughly enjoyed by a large audience. The Little Theatre, sponsored by Miss Eva Mae Moore, has had a very successful first year, and the members feel that they have accomplished some- thing really worth while.

The chief work for the year has been the study of the German folk song, and a prize is in store for the member who can present the best collection at the end of the year. One of the outstanding events of this year was the Elterna- bend, at which the annual declamation contest was held. First place winners of this contest were Esther Bornemann, in the group for advanced students, and Dorothy Piper, in the group for beginners. The movie of last year ' s play, Der Zauberspiegel, was shown at this affair. Two other memorable club events were the Schubert program and the Christmas celebration in the East Woods.

The Nature Club is one of the oldest clubs in Austin High School. Formerly, however, the club was known as the Gene Stratton Porter Nature Club, but the club members desired a shorter name and so voted that the name be changed to The Nature Club. During the fall semester of 1928-29 the club was not formally organized, but held weekly meetings in field trips. Those members working for subsidiary credit kept notebooks on field observations. Many places of interest were studied such as Lake Austin, Mount Bonnell, the Land Office, Geologic Collection of the llniversity. Captain Aldredge ' s ranch, and the Texas Botanical Gardens. During the first half of the spring semester most of the work was done indoors with some few hikes and field trips to observe the blossoming of trees and coming of seedling plants. Several social affairs were held and officers were elected for this spring semester. The club has taken a great interest in the songbirds of Austin and had a bird-box building contest during March and April. Another interesting project is the making of a museum. Some of the objects brought in are a stufTed mounted bat, a humming bird ' s nest, se -eral wood col- lections, fossils; and some living specimens such as tadpoles, minnows, frogs, and frogs eggs were brought. Insects, pressed plants. Nature Clippings, and many mounted pictures have been collected also. Second Row: Hollander, Stroud, Miss Hicks, Crow, Pope, Storm. First Row: Walker, Fine, Hibbits, J.

He handled his duties as captain to perfection. Hodges — Osborn, the passing end of the Gold Dust Couple, was good in all departments of the game. His passing and general all-round play were a constant threat to other teams. MuNSTER — Joe played quarter and demon- strated time after time that a good quarterback can also carry the ball and receive punts. James — Frank was the punting power and the pass receiver of the Gold Dust Twins combination. Lindy, an excellent passer and equally good when carrying the ball, starred consistently and should do wonders next season. Thorp — Ed was a fast runner and carried the ball for consistent gains thru all the season. His work in the backfield will be missed next year.

Bob, though handicapped by bad shoulders, was one of the best guards in the district. OwERs — Pig ' ears was a very able under- study to J. M. at center. In the Main Avenue game he showed up particularly well on the defense. His presence will add strength to the line next year. Mayne — Harry put all he had into the game. His fight kept many of the opponents plays from being successful. He should be one of the main- stays in the Maroon line next season. Clopton — J. C. proved many times that 200 pounds are not to be trifled with. His weight made him plenty hard to move out and he stopped many plays on the line.

Throughout the contest the teams battled on even terms. The game ended a tie: 12 to 12. LoCKHART — In the Lockhart game the Maroons revealed a decided improvenient. The line was invincible, and the backfield, featuring James as the star performer, played well. Score: Austin 19, Lockhart 0. Laredo — Laredo High, undefeated during the past two years, came to Austin for the first conference game. Bulian scored first for Austin. Austin ' s next score came as the result of a pass to Rundell, who ran fifteen yards for a touchdown. The climax came when Austin held Laredo on the one yard line for four downs and then took the ball and made another touchdown. The game ended with Austin 19, Laredo 0. S. M. B. A. — The game with San Marcos Baptist Academy was a nip-and-tuck affair from start to finish. The first score for Austin was made when Masur of San Marcos fumbled and Munster picked up the ball and ran for a touchdown. Austin scored again in the last period when Hodges rammed the line for four yards and a touch- down. The final score was San Marcos 7, Austin 13. Corpus Christi — The Austin Maroons went to Corpus Christi expecting to win easily. Corpus was determined to be revenged, however, for previous defeats. Corpus blocked Austin ' s first two punts, intercepted several passes, and ran one of these passes back for a touchdown. Corpus Christi scored again in the last quarter making the final score: Corpus 13, Austin 0. (Later forfeited to Austin, 1-0).

Alamo Heights — With two defeats from San . ntonio teams still smarting the Maroons, they smothered . lamo Heights .U-6. Hodges repeatedly passed to James. Rundell, and Lockhart for long gains. The passes were aided with a running attack by Hodges, Bulian and White. The entire line played bang-up football. Harlandale — Austin evened the count with the San Antonio schools when she defeated Harlandale. . s usual Hodges and James played a fine game. Bulian handled the punts of Harlandale like a veteran, and in the line, the work of Rundell and Lockhart was good. The Maroons put up plenty of light and closed the season with a decisive win.

Joe Bill Bralley won the singles final from Adams of Lometa, 6-0; 6-2. Sterling Williams and Bralley won over Parsons and Smith of Smithville in the doubles, 6-1, 6-0. In winning the singles and doubles Austin defeated Taylor, Smithville, Lometa, Granger, and Bartlett. Last year Karl Kamrath won the singles in the University Interscholastic League Meet. Joe Bill Bralley and Kamrath won second place in the doubles. The tennis squad has defeated Main Avenue of San Antonio in two tournaments this year. The first contest was held in Austin and the other in San Antonio. The squad also defeated the strong San Jacinto High School four-man team of Houston in six straight matches. The San Jacinto team was probably the strongest team encounted this season. Dr. Penick ' s University of Texas Freshmen and Mr. Hol- land ' s boys held a tournament, April 25. For the second suc- cessive year Austin was victorious with the score Austin 6, Freshmen 3. Not one of Austin ' s first-four men lost a match in either singles or doubles.

He holds the Missouri ' alley Junior Doubles Championship and the Championship of the University of Texas Interschulastic League. He is the most promising player Austin High has had in many years. Joe Bill Bnilley is National Boy ' s Double Champion. Third Ranking B v in the I ' nited States, First in Texas State Boy ' s Singles. Western Boy ' Singles Champion. Joe Bill has improved consistently during the pa t year. He will represent Austin in both singles and doubles in the stair meet. Sterling Williams has one of the most forcing forehand drives on the tennis team. He makes up in power what he lacks in size. He has a good head and works hard. He will play with Bralley in the doubles in the state meet. Weldon Anderson has a steady game from the back court. His play shows years of experience behind it. He should rank higher next year. Wickliflfe Fisher has been working hard for several years and has shown much improvement. Although lacking somewhat in consistency, he has a forcing game. Grady Gray is one of the most promising players for the future Maroon net squad. He thinks well and has natural ability. Lothairc Dabney. another promising player for the future net squad, has all the best strokes. In another year he should be a vastly improved player. Pete Robertson ' s overhead and serve are his best strokes. He has good match play ability and tries hard for everything. He will probably be one of the best players next year.

Williams Coach The Austin High School baseball squad of 1929 started practice on January 8 with the following lettermen: Bennie Rundell, Bell Moore, Slade Watt, Henry Helf, Hollis Harrell. and Ross Malone. The following games have been played: Austin 6 Giddings High Austin 29 Giddings High 11 Austin 13 Bastrop High 3 Austin 14 San Marcos High 4 Austin 6 Giddings High 4 Austin 19 Giddings High 7 Austin 7 Texas School for Deaf 5 Austin 9 Bastrop High 3 In the opening series of the season the Maroons established two Austin High School records by shutting out their opponents in the opening game and by scoring 29 runs in the second game. The former record of 26 runs scored in a single game was made in 1925. The new record is of particular im- portance, since it was made early in the season and against the strong Giddings team. The 6 to victory over the Giddings High School was the first time in the history of the school that the Maroons have opened the season with a shut out victory. A new three game record of runs scored was made when the Maroons de- feated San Marcos, bringing the total to 56 runs. The following likely looking youngsters will be the group from which the rest of the team will be picked: Dobrowolski. Nicholap. Groos. VVofford. Stramler. Walsh. Cook. Elliott, Disch. Warren, Shelton. Weise. James, Ledbetter. Arbuckle. Wilson, Garner, Schieffer. Dement. Raatz. Wolf. Walker. McSchaffery. and Boone. The Maroons have claimed the unofficial Championship of Central Texas each year for the past four years, and this year ' s team appears to be as strong as the teams in the past. Early scores indicate that the Maroons have a stronger offense and as strong a pitching staff as the teams representing Austin in seasc)ns gone by.

McDonald pitched two 1-hit games last year in one week. Both of these games were shut outs and victories for the Maroons. Bennie Rundell led the team in batting with an average of .369. Rundell ' s stick work in the Cuero series will long be remembered. Roger Williams pressed Rundell very closely for batting h inors. and it was only in the last two games of the season that Rundell forged to the front and passed Williams who had been leading. McDonald ' s record of pitching 19 consecutive scoreless innings established a new .Xuslin High record. Mell Moore, rookie twirler, assisted McDonald by pitching the Maroons to victories in three of the hardest games of the season. Moore ' s victims were: San Marcos Baptist .Academy.

While the .Austin High School was defeated only once by a high school team in this section, both Barlett and Temple were defeated three times by such teams. A post season series of two games was played with Cuero High School, unofficial and undefeated champions of South Texas, for the championship of Central and South Texas. This series was played in Cuero and ended in a draw with Austin High winning one game and Cuero High winning the other.

Under her direction the Physical Education hour does not consist of one routine exercise after another, but of an hour of lively games, dances, relays, and a few corrective exercises. The swimming classes conducted by Mrs. Thomason every spring for girls who are taking physical educa- tion, help to promote interest in the department. The interclass tumbling team has taken part in Tennis classes are another feature of the spring work. The May fete was replaced this year by a program given for the Parent- Teacher Association, consisting of folk-dances, tumbling, and a demonstration of corrective exercises. By next year it is hoped that the new gymnasium will be completed so that more students may enjoy Physical Education and so that they may have more room for their activities.

Health lectures are given each Monday. The aim of these is to help the girls form useful habits. They are made interesting by a score card kept by each student. Such things as brushing the teeth, eight hours sleep, drinking milk, and taking one hour of exercise a day are put on this card. At the end of every six weeks the results are checked on. The girls get a lot of fun out of finding out which class has the highest average. A record is also kept of the weight. Each class tries to have the highest percentage of those who are within five pounds of normal weight. N. Franklin, B. Watkins « || Second row: C .der, Walker, Sanders, Alff, Franklin, Germany.

Although baseball is not as popular as pin-guard, it is holding its own in the Department. When the inter-class games are held, they are usually refereed by a G. A. A. member.

Page 141 he comet loao ' J i i Extra-Curriciilar Sports The Physicial Education Department realizes the fact that every girl should know how to swim and to play tennis and, of course, .she should be able to take part in these two very popular sports in such a way that she will rank above the novice. For this reason a tennis class was organized this spring among the girls taking Physical Education. The first day the gym was flooded; thirty-five came out. A few later dropped out due to absence of racquets, presence of music lessons, and so forth, but the majority remained. The University of Texas Physical Training Department for Women has been© very kind in allowing the tennis class the use of University courts. Otherwise, instruction in tennis would have been impossible for high school students. Eventually the rainy season passed and a sunshiny day on the courts came to be a reality — but alas! for the studious llniversity students laboriously struggling across the campus! The entire north side was showered with flying balls, flying girls, and flying rackets. It was not very long, however, before the balls, and the players as well, had learned quite a bit about where to go and how to get there. The class meetings are held on Tuesday and Thursday from four to five o ' clock. This is the one course in high school that does not offer credit and to which attendance is not compulsory, but almost every girl is there every time and trying her best to learn. The best player in the class will be determined by a ladder tournament during the last two weeks of the term. The class is made up of the following girls: Dulcie Hamilton, Pauline Myler, Ramona Olson, Angeline Thompson, Helen Pharr, Dorothy Otting, Oma Rae Powell, Dorothy Germany, Mabyl Walker, Evelyn Olson, Kathryn Cox, Lois Gustafson, Emma Lee Barron, Gladys Linstrum, Ethel Gustafson, Mary P ' rances Corder, Anne Margaret Cox, Katherine Miles, Adele DuBose, Benilu Watkins, Norine Franklin, Margaret Knippa, Elouise May, Mattie Evelyn Treadwell, Elizabeth Zombola, Lula Grace Anderson, Helen Lucile Gragg, Lucy Gray Martin, Alene Barnette, and Marie Alff. The swimming classes are held on Monday at Deep Eddy. Due to the great number of beginners who wished to learn to swim, it became impossible to offer advanced classes in swimming and diving. The swimmers, much to their sur- prise, find that the simple matter of breathing is quite different in water. After that important matter is settled, they learn such fundamental things as the face crawl stroke, the resting and bracing back stroke, a straight front dive, many water games and stunts, but most important of all, not to be afraid of the water. l Z : Page 142 Mcliula GAS AND HOT AIR STRAICHT OFF THE COMET Rozinante, Don Quixote ' s warhorse, seems to have a poor sense of humor.

We ' d kinda be glad if Ross Malone and Dude Allen would do what the Ging- ham Dog and the Calico Cat did, or else die a natural death real quick. We wish somebody would bring some Insect Powder up to school and put Walter Moore out of his misery or mebby so it would be surer if he got shot. We wish we didn ' t have to write this hog fodder but it serves you right — you didn ' t have to read it.

The first affair of tlie Christmas festi als was held on the Stephen F. roof. The hall was tastefiilh ' liecorated with balloons and Casey Newton. The dear little children came at nine and danced until the wee small hours. Several of the sweet things had to leave early (in the morning) because of prior engagements. An enjoyable time was had by all (those who went some place else). THE HVPATIAN AFFAH This party was held at the Country Club, so that there would be more room for the cars to park. The thing started at nine and managed to hold out until one. How, nobody knows. The punch gave out long before that. Margaret Foster came in, but didn ' t create any disturbance, so she went home. Most of the refreshments were served outside under the personal supervision of Chank Caldwell and Steve Williams. Julia Drake led the C.rand March, but she was so far in the lead that everyone thought she was bringing up the rear. THE POLYHVMNIAN DINGUS The main decorations were wall flowers and stinkbombs. The affair was a complete success, for the orchestra at least (they got paid for coming). The dance w ' as mostly a Put and Took affair. Several people Pl ' T in an appearance and got TOOK off the floor. After about the ninth repetition of the first dance, the programs furnished were discarded. At twelve o ' clock the dance collapsed of its ow-n free will. f i?f S S t r )( ? ' o r-==-==£ -- ' pg :i eaae tsr he tX tnUt 1030 endar SEPTEMBER 15— School opens!

We of the so-called management hope that you have enjoyed your little wade in the muddy waters of the grind and we trust that, if you did not enj oy yourself , it was only because of leaky boots or a guilty conscience. We are sorry that we couldn ' t say much about Bobby Randolph and the rest of that gang of counter flies that hang around Mrs. Pitts in the lunch room, but this section had to be censored by faculty supervi- sion. Some few saps and funkheads will get sore about this, but it ' s all in the spirit of fun. Honest, we couldn ' t keep Willie Mae Todner from putting so many Whoopee ' s and And How ' s in the Calendar, but that seems to be the extent of her high school education. Incidentally, we feel we ' ve been handed a curve ball. Believe it or not, this section was good until the purity league got hold of it. And in passing let us say, You don ' t have to be crazy to edit a grind section, but it helps a lot. r THE HEAD CHEESE. r m ; s Page i6i To The Students The followinf business firms have purchased advertisements to be printed in the 1929 COMET.

A MESSAGE TO PARENTS Parents should remember that a secure music education must be founded on complete knowledge of the technic principles involved, balanced by training in all other elements of sold musicianship. The Austin Conservatory Course is designed mainly to make fully rounded musicians. FACULTY The faculty has been carefully chosen with the object of bringing together the best musical and pedagogical skill. Each member is a recognized authority and a specialist in his subject. The ability as artist of LILLIAN REESE, Director (head of the piano and violin departments) is fully established, and her skill as an educator fully proved by the fine students she has developed. Among them is Waldene Reese Johnston. Concert Violinist, who won the Cincinnati Conservatory Scholar- ship in 19 22, and two years later won the scholarship to the Joliard Founda- tion Conservatory, New York, and the National prize of $100.00 for the Clarp Baur Fund. Louise Globcr. violinist, won both the district and state prize in Tucson, Arizona. Eleanor Philqu st won the scholarship in piano last year at the Texas Woman ' s College, in a contest held in April, 1928. 1 hese are only a few of the Lillian Reese pupils that may be cited, but it is evidence of the thorough training acquired in the Austin Conservatory, which has been from the beginning and continues under the management of one head — Lillian Reese. Director A. C. M. In Antoinette Nellc. Evelyn Cook (piano teachers) with Mrs. Jess E. Roach (assistant violin teacher), the Conservatory possesses musicians with a thorough background of the best American training. These instructors have been selected, not alone because of their playing ability but primarily because of the peculiar talents for efficient teaching. Catalog sent upon request.

Mr. GuUett prepared us for the cam- paign speeches, then to show us that he could stand the speeches as well as we could, he seated himself on the stage and stayed during the entire campaign. The first speaker was young Mr. Charlie Lockhart. Charlie pranced all over the stage and assured us at least ten times that whoever was elected would do the best he could. He was so modest that he didn ' t even ask us to vote for him. Mr. Conceited Barlow (sometimes known as Thurston) was next and said a nice speech which he had memorized. He addressed us as Ye who sit holding your hands. This wasn ' t true for a beginning so nobody listened to the rest. Joseph Munster was the last speaker. His chief claim to the presidency seemed to be that Thurston was President of the 1 IB class and Charlie. President of the llA ' s. He evidently thought we could take pity on him and vote for him. He a so cracked a few jokes and left at last. We all clapped — it was the end ! ! ! W. F.
