Bolton High School - Bruin Yearbook (Alexandria, LA)

Text from Pages 1 - 150 of the 1929 volume:

Published by The Senior Class of BOLTON HIGH SCHOOL Alexandria, Louisiana d.±. Foreword At the beginning of the session of 1929, the Senior Class entrusted us with the recording of the events of its final high school year. To this end we have striven to set down, in a tactful, dignified manner, the things we have thought outstanding during this year. Although there have been trials and troubles, we believe we can truthfully say that we are offering something that will be treasured when high school days are just fond memories—The Bruin of 1929. EDICATION— We who have loved and honored her through four long seasons. Lived for her smiles and cheery words of encouragement. Learned her great lessons, followed her good reasons, Can never repay the kindness she has shown us; Hut in gratitude and as a token that she is appreciated. To MISS MARY TlIORl TON the Bruin of 29 is dedicated. g53ta.UK ] ■■■■■I ■ . •'' . • • n ■Vrr •’ '■ FRONT ENTRANCE RENSSELAER STREET VIEW BOLTON HIGH SCHOOL duke 'war Superintendent’s Message To The Student Body: If I were a high school student I should endeavor to do a few things of importance thoroughly. First: I should take ad- vantage of the opportunities offered in the field of physi- cal training and athletics to such an extent as would fit me physically for healthy liv- ing, hard work and endur- ance, for without a healthy, active body one is handicap- ped throughout life. Second: I should endeavor to be known by and to know intimately the outstanding and worthy members of the student body; their friendship would be cultivated; then I should like to know all the others as well as possible. Friendships formed during high school and college years are the most enduring and valuable. Third: Another most valuable aim would be to gain as intimate and thorough knowledge as possible of the English language, its history, structure, its artistic features. The ability to read and write the English language correctly is no mean accomplishment; the ability to speak it before an audience with accuracy and force makes one a master of men. MR. W. J. AVERY Superintendent of Schools PnniHps Parish Fourth: It would be my aim to know well one foreign language; I should want to be able to read, write and speak it. Fifth: I should learn enough of mathematics, science, history and art to aid materially in my choice of a college course and my occupation or profession. Sixth: Along with these other accomplishments, and not the least of them, I should want to learn to do my own thinking, making full use of all assistance offered by teachers, texts and equipment. W. J. AVERY. MR. S. M. BRAME, Principal Bolton High School PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE The pages of Bruin, like Hamlet’s players, are brief and abstract chron- icles of the time, attracting not only our passing interest, but holding in reserve for the future many a happy hour for those who would like to look back over their high school days. Who knows but that some of your children, or even grandchildren, will pore over these very pages, seeking to know what manner of boys and girls you were back in the nineteen twenties. May there always be a Bruin. S. M. BRAME. ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE To the Senior Class of 1929: Ill-fated is that acorn, sad its lot, Which drops beneath the tree on which it grew. ’Twill not amount to much in such a spot— Perhaps a spindling tree whose days are few. But that which, by the grace of some kind wind, Is carried to a broad and distant field. Where other hardy kin no chance have seen, Has space to spread its branches and to yield. Unlike the nut, your mind is wind enow. Your intellect should waft you where you will. So ask no odds, nor aught to show you how. Determination must your hope fulfill. JOS. D. SMITH. MR. J. D.

Miss Lucy Carter Assistant Secretary to Principal PEDDLERS OF KNOWLEDGE Peddlers of knowledge, selling their wares! As he passes along each customer stares! Each department has a very nice stall, And the peddlers stand there crying to all, “Knowledge for sale! Right this way! You’ll be sorry you passed us by some future day.” Many are stopping and heeding these calls, While others go calmly by the stalls. Mr. Brame is the manager, with an iron hand, While Mr. Smith, his assistant, is leader of the band. The office staff is composed of Misses Carter and Kent, Who are always ready to give you a hint. Miss Brasfield, a book agent of the convincing kind, And Miss Hegberg sells hamburgers at ten cents—one dime. The first stall is seen to contain Latin by the peck, And Miss Barron, Miss Madison, and Mrs. Holloman will make you a wreck. Next comes Miss Skannal with French, nothing new, And Spanish is sold by Miss DeCou. Miss Preston sells music, while right next door Miss Potts calls in a loud voice, “Draw and earn more!” Misses Roberts, Miller, and Phillips sell science. Mr. Rodgers sells biology with a special appliance. The names of Garrison, Hebert, and McCollum appear on a sign, And they sell Chemistry of a very queer kind. Miss Talbot and Miss Stickley are heard with their cry, “Home Ec! Home Ec! On credit! Come buy!” In the next booth Miss Thomas and Mr. Beseler are ihe Spartan plan, And sell physical culture whenever they can. Misses Sparkman and Thornton and Mr. Franck Are venders of commercial knowledge of the very first rank. The next booth is the most attractive of all. Commas, colons, and periods decorate the wall. Misses Gould, Hawthorn, and Johnson are at work, Under the leadership of our most noted Miss Burk. Miss Adams, Miss Roberts, Mrs. Peters and Miss Reese Sell us some literature handed down from Greece. Mr. Hopkins, another English salesman, won high esteem As captain of the Faculty Basketball Team. The next booth is also a popular place. They sell us history of the Caucasian race. “History! History!” is their cry, “Sold at a bargain! Come here and buy!” Mr. Brown, Mr. Ferguson, Mrs. Franck and Miss Crews Are selling knowledge of a political ruse, While Miss Majors and Miss Nachman are doing their best To sell us knowledge of Athens and the rest. And down the halls the students go by, And the peddlers gaze at them with a wistful eye. Finally we come to a rather large booth In which they are selling mathematical truth. There “Trig, Algebra and Geometry galore,” Sold by Mr. Miller, Miss Touchstone, Miss Kilpatrick and Miss Moore, While Mrs. Longmire, Miss Morris, Miss Watkins, and Mr. Jackson, Are salesmen of Arithmetic (addition and subtraction). Gone are the cries of these salesmen and the sights of these booths, And gone are the students with their purchased truths. It may be long before we return to these halls, But we'll never forget the salesmen in the stalls, And how they worked patiently with heartfelt cares, To sell us some of their valuable wares. —Anna Bess Garrett.

ODE TO SENIORS In the s. ing of the year the Seniors appear All smiling; and gay as can be, For their school days are o’er, and with one mighty roar They yell ar their liberty. Then some serious boy, cries, “Why all the joy? Is it that ye are glad to be gone?” Tho we’ve had lots of fun, our work’s just begun; Let our motto be ever “push on.” We’ve gone through with a rush and oft tried to crush The freshmen as one might a flower, We’ve worried Mr. Brame, but we’ve played straight the game For we all know that knowledge is power. So here’s to the Freshmen and Juniors and Sophs, And here’s to the faculty fine, And here’s to our dear old Bolton High, And the Class of ’29. —HELENE ST. JOHN.

Another: “Two-o-o” (high soprano). Still another: “Three!” (low contralto). And another: “Four!” (and on and on until the roll is finished). Voice from rear: “All right—shift!” (and numerous other football expressions). Coach Ferguson: “Er— I expect I’ll have to— er— give the class a little— er-- test due to the unnecessary noise— er—.” “Will the pupils in the back— er— not talk so loud?” Mary Gorman: “Aw, and I haven’t even looked at the ole book!” Dan Lanier: “Yes, you’re just the type. If you and Libby would keep your traps shut once in awhile, we wouldn’t have this darned ole test.” (Books and shoes whizz through the air at Dan). Coach Ferguson: “All right, I think this will keep you busy for a few minutes— er— Miss Givens and Miss Gorman— er— please— er— separate.” (The class is silent for a few minutes, having persuaded Coach not to give the test. A question is asked by Pete Fowler). Coach Ferguson: “Miss Stewart— er— can you answer the question for Mr. Fow- ler?” (Nellie answers the question perfectly for once. Class continues). Coach Ferguson: “Er— y-y-y-yes, that reminds me of— er— a player on a team T know— er—” (Looks out of window and puts pencil in mouth). “He was a wonderful player.” (Mr. Ferguson then holds his class spellbound about some dashing halfback or swift cinderpath artist, making the boys green with envy and every girl sigh and wonder if she will ever be fortunate enough to meet such a man). Coach Ferguson: “Er— gee! I didn’t know the time had flown so quickly— er— take the same lesson for tomorrow.” (Editor’s Note: See Advertising; Section for identification).

BOLTON BRIGHTS LITERARY SOCIETY The Bolton Brights Literary Society holds its meetings in the music room, and has the double advantage of Miss Preston’s assistance with musical entertainment and the use of a piano and victrola. The society boasts a large group of students, interested in modern issues, having as officers to direct them, Ed Hochendel, President; Mildred Brister, Vice-President; Myrtle Penny, Secretary. THE LINDBERGH LITERARY SOCIETY In the late spring of 1927, a lone aviator winged his way across the mighty Atlantic, accomplishing the first non-stop flight from the United States to Paris. Four months later, while praises for the daring young aviator still resounded from sea to sea, a small group of students met for the purpose of organizing a literary society and selecting a name. In recognition of the flight, and in honor of the man who made the event possible, the Lindbergh Literary Society came into existence. The present officers are: President, Elizabeth Albert; Vice-President, Lorraine Barron; Secretary-Treasurer, Mary Gorman. THE BEST YET LITERARY SOCIETY What is in a name? Much. For this enthusiastic Literary Society elected Faize Mahfouz, President; Allen Laborde, Vice-President; and Ruth Dugger, Secretary-Treas- urer for the session of 1928-29. Under the direction of an efficient program committee the Society carried forward a progressive program to the end of the term.

The theme carried out this year was that of “Midsummer Night’s Dream,” and it formed a gorgeous setting for the beauties of the court. The stage was beautiful with its background of twinkling stars against the rich blue sky and the slender crescent which formed the throne for lovely Queen Elizabeth Givens and her King, Elmo Holloman. The Queen of the occasion was attended by four lovely maids and their chosen knights. Miss Virginia Rockwell appeared first in a most fetching costume which merely enhanced her brunette beauty. She was accompanied by her chosen knight, James Edward By ram. Following them was a most attractive couple, Miss Billie Barks- dale, an exquisite blonde, and her escort, Henry Foote. Miss Ann Stafford came next, her piquant loveliness showing to its best advantage as she entered with Stader Rich- ardson. Miss Mary Tom Blackwood appeared unusually bewitching when she came in with Edwin Ford Hunter. All of the elements, the clouds, the rain and the lightning, were personified as graceful maidens who danced before the Court and were followed by the “call-out” dance, the event of the evening. This changed immediately to an open dance, in which pleasure a large number participated. TREASURER'S STAFF W. E.

The undefeated Faculty Five was beginning their clash with the also undefeated Student Five. Mr. Hopkins, the dashing center for the Faculty, strained to outjump the Student center, Vance Lamkin, but was foiled in the heroic attempt, and Vance passed the ball to fast little Marye of the Student team. Mayro got the surprise of his life when Coach Ferguson made a 50-yard dash, and with the ease of a professional, grabbed the ball in both hands and yanked it away from him. He then made a remark- able shot put at the goal, barely missing by a foot and a half. Pete Spera, one of the stars for the Student team, recovered the ball and started working down the field past each of the Faculty players, except Mr. Miller. On and on dribbled Pete, and plucky Mr. Miller stood waiting for him with an expression of “do or die” (probably die). As Pete prepared to shoot, Mr. Miller dashed forth frantically and by expanding his chest, managed to reverse the direction of the proposed flight. Back and forth the teams fought after this, neither gaining the advantage, and the first quarter ended with the score 0 to 0. W-z-z-z-z-z! Mr. Brown was off like a chicken with his head cut off—this way, that way, every way but the right way he went, and Coach Jackson received his S. 0. S. and shifted sail in Mr. Brown’s general direction, although it was hard to tell which way he would go next. The second round was a duplicate cf the first, only that Keith was taken out and Holland put in. The unanimously elected cheer leader, Miss Madison, dressed so stunningly in a red georgette (or duck or some other kind of modern dress material), led the Faculty cheer- ing section in several hair-raising selections. Mr. Smith, the official water boy, was seen rushing hither and thither with his bucket. In the third quarter the Faculty waked up and started playing. Coach Ferguson ran several quarter-miles chasing after Jack Keith, and Coach Jackson let loose with several new formations hitherto unknown in basketball history, but his most outstand- ing one was his run around left end just in time to tackle Vance and prevent him from making a sure shot. Mr. Hopkins got so tickled over this that he tried to use the benches for hurdles and start track practice. Another score was made for the Students, but it was impossible to see who made it, because there w'as a general scrimmage. Several players claimed it on both sides, but public opinion awarded it to Mr. Brown, who said that he had hold of the ball and, becoming confused, shot toward the wrong goal. Coach Ferguson made a foul, and Mr. Hopkins finally put one in, making the score 4 to 3 at the end of the third quarter. In the last quarter the Student team scored another, and they started playing :‘or time. The heroic five on the other side seemed to be glad of it. With a few minor struggles, the game ended with the Student Five winning by a score of 5 to 3, Referee Mahfouz officially announcing the Student Five the victors.

FOOTBALL BOLTON 60, BUNKIE 0 The Bolton High School Boars opened their Football season for 1928 by meeting the Bunkie Whippets in Alexandria. The battle was a one sided affair with the Bears having sixty points to their credit, the Whippets none. Sixty players on the Bears’ squad saw action. Penny, Guard Captain Barber Left Half Spera, Full Cheer Leaders Foote, Quarterback Lamkin, Tackle Olney, Guard BOLTON 40, JENA 0 The Bears chalked up another easy victory for their second game by downing the Giants from Jena 40 to 0. From this contest the fans got a real thrill and some- thing to talk about. When the scrubs were run in for their turn there was one little half back among them without football shoes. On their first play this little griddei grabbed the ball and ran around end for seventy yards and a touchdown. Now when anyone recalls the Jena game, ‘Tennis Shoes” Price come to his mind. Fowler, End Hunter, End Grace, Tackle BOLTON 19, BATON ROUGE 13 For their third contest of the season, the Bears invaded the canip of the Baton Rouge Bull Dogs. From the first three stanzas of this game, the Bear supports who followed the team on its Capitol City journey, saw bright hopes for a 1928 title winning crew. For three quarters the Bears showed the Bull Dogs how the National Game, called Football, was supposed to be played, scoring 19 points. The last quarter, however, found the Red Stickers completely outclassing the Boltonites, scoring 13 points, while the Bears could but hope that the Bull Dogs wouldn’t score again, and that the beloved pistol would shoot in time. Bolton-Shreveport Game BOLTON 6, LAKE CHARLES 18 On October 20th the Bears, after a week’s instruction of the fact that a football game consisted of four quarters and not just three, journeyed south again to meet the Wildcats of Lake Charles. This battle was hot and fierce from the first whistle. The Bears were scored, but not outfought. Many football experts claimed that the Bear captain, Barber, although with a lame leg, played the greatest game of the day. Zimmerman also played a great game. Bolton’s only score carre as a climax to an aerial attack, with Barber, hurling end, and Fowler on the receiving end. Lake Charles scores resulted from the beautiful work of Zimmerman and Hebert. Moore, Half Pace, Center Marye, Half Trimble, Tackle Pittman, Tackle Brewer, Manager BOLTON 10, DERIDDER 0 Natchitoches, having canceled its engagement for a second time in four years, was again replaced by DeRidder. The game started as though it were going to be a one-sided affair, when Bolton put over three touchdowns in the first two periods, but the third quarter turned out to be a Waterloo. Mahfouz, our star quarterback, upon whom much depended, broke h s wrist, making the second quarterback in a week to be cracked up for the remainder of the season. BOLTON 7, HOMER 38 On November 9 the Bears met the Homer Oilers on their home field. The Oilers were an unknown quantity to the Boltonites when they went on the field, but when they left, they were known to be a real football team, worthy of the state champ- ionship, which they won in the end. From the start, the Bears were unable to stop the fierce line attack of the Homer boys which paved the way for their thirty-eight points. The remodeled back- field showed that it was equal to that of Homer for they did most of the tackling and single-handed made the only touchdown for their team. BOLTON 6, SHREVEPORT 18 The Shreveport game, which was the main feature of the season, was a closer game than the score shows. Shreveport had the winning break in the first few minutes of play when they blocked one of Barber’s punts and recovered it across our goal line giving them their first touchdown. The handicap of this demoralizing touchdown and the remembrance of the drubbing of the week before was still not enough to keep the Bears down. They opened up their box of tricks and the never failing aerial attack from Barber to anyone “open,” for which the Bolton team of 1928 was known, and gave the Yellow Jackets some real football. The fight, spirit and sportsmanship as were shown by two such keen rivals must be commended, and Shreveport must be complimented on the great game they played. BOLTON 12, HAYNESVILLE 20 The Haynesville “Golden Tornado” hit right in the center of the Bear headquarters. After coming out of the wreckage and checking up. the Bears found another defeat of 20-12. The feature of this game for the Bolton supporters was in the last quarter when everything seemed lost and Haynesville on their way for a fourth touchdown. Suddenly out of the heap came a blue and white warrior dashing madly for the op- ponents’ goal for a touchdown. It was none ether than the smashing substitute tackle, “Jockey” Pittman. BOLTON 6, MONROE 2 The season closed on Thanksgiving with the Monroe High School. This game wras a thrilling one from start to finish, with neither team having a safe lead, but when the smoke blew’ away Bolton had finally broken their losing streak by winning with a score of 6 to 2. After Barber was taken from the game due to injuries, the possibilities for next year’s team were brightened. The pony backs that were in ran the ball from their 30-yard line to opponents’ 25-yard line in a series of line plays and end runs, executing them like veterans. BOYS’ BASKETBALL TEAM WEATHERSBY £ ALT CAPT M MICHAEL THE FIVE BASKETEERS The one and only team that was able to beat our Bears during the past season of 1928-29 was the Jena Giants. Running wild through the first part of the season, Bolton piled up overwhelmning scores against every team that faced them. The season opened with a crashing Bear victory over Menard 52-9, followed a few days later by two more victories, Lecompte 36-12, Glenmora 40-1. Then Poland went down 40-13; Menard for the second time 25-5; Lecompte for her second time 23-21. Shreve- port came next. They invaded the Bear camp for two games, both of which were easy Bolton victories. The first, Bolton 24, Shreveport 13, and the last, Bolton 23, Shreveport 14. The next week Glenmora took the count. But Bolton’s Waterloo came February 1 when the Jena Giants made their first invasion. Playing a fast and effective game, the Bears took an early lead. They held it during the greater part of the game, Faircloth doing some of the most brilliant dribbling and shooting ever seen on our court. But during the last quarter Barber was taken out on fouls. He had been the bright spot in Bolton’s defense, and without him the Jena team began to gain. In the last minute of the game “Sparky” Wade of Jena broke loose with several long ringers to beat Bolton 23-19. The following night the Bears again tackled Jena, but Bolton was not playing her best and Jena was ten points better. Jena won by the score of 33-23. After the season’s disaster, the Five Basketeers again got their stride. Tioga, Urania, and Boyce went down before the fast Basketball Five. McCarty, Zachary, and Barber had their mid-season form, and they were going strong, running the score board to its limit. They went to Shreveport and won both engagements, one by 38-28, the other by 45-28. Then came a series of skirmishes around Alexandria, ending in the big conflict at the Central Louisiana Rally. For two days Bolton held the field, running through the tournament in fine shape. They climaxed the meet with a “sweet revenge” over their rivals, Jena. Bolton ran all over Jena in the finals to win 34-12. The Bolton fans began to think that Jena’s two victories were luck. The next week-end heralded the final and decisive battle of the long campaign. Forces centered at Baton Rouge. Bolton took several desperate charges, but Jena again was the obstacle. The Bears were good, but Jena was better. The Giants decided their supremacy when they beat Bolton in the final game, 34-26. After that they went on through the State Rally, winning it and being crowned State Champions. Just as Jena was the only team to beat Bolton, so was Bolton the only team to beat Jena.

Led by Skipper Yvonne Dyer, the 1929 girls’ basketball team had a very successful season. They won the largest number of the games played, and were picked among the favorites to win the Central Louisiana Tournament. Lena Taylor was selected for the running-center on the All-Central team, and she earned the place by her sensational guarding, not only at the tournament, but by being a quick thinker, she always kept the opposing center on her toes. Irma Gates, her partner in the center court, was able to out jump nearly every center sh faced. Lillie Blakemore at forward proved to be one of the best goal tossers who appeared in the Bolton gym, while Skipper Dyer gave her a hot race for high-point honors. Maude Ethel Stockstill, Katherine Williams, and Thelma Gunter were always able to hold down the scores of our opponents at the guard position. THE NINE HEARS Baseball for this season at Bolton looks very good. Having been barely nosed out of a championship last year by the Commercial High School of New Orleans, the Bears are expecting great things this year as they have practically the same team that took second place in 1928, a team which is better for its exeprience. There are seven “B” men back. Pete Spera holds down the trade at home plate; Percy Barber, Edward Grace, and Clyde Zachary will be the box monitors. Dalton Faircloth is a big Bear at first; Clyde Zachary is at second when he is not in the box; and Pete Fowler is at the hot corner. Shortstop and two of the outer orchards are still vacant, while Gordon White will take care of the fruit in the remaining orchard. Every one of the open spots which will be filled by new material is the object of hot competition, and reliable players will be on hand to fill them. THE TRACK TEAM If the old proverb about practice making perfect holds true, the Bolton track team of 1929 is to be a huge success. Since the first of school a faithful band of track men are seen every afternoon on the cinder path, practicing long and industriously in preparation for the coming meets at the Central Louisiana Rally and at the State Rally. Although he begins his first year as Bolton track coach, Stewart A. Ferguson shows remarkable determination to put out a worthy team, and all who follow him predict bright results for his labors. Captained by Marion McGinnis, the Bears expect to do big things. Percy Barber is the only letter man on the team, having won first place in the high jump at the State Rally in 1928. As these meets are some weeks off when the Bruin goes to press, we can only predict that Bolton will make a representative Blue and White record. OUR COACHES Bolton has one of the best rosters of athletic coaches in the South. Hardy Beseler, boys’ basketball coach, has turned out several State Championship teams and one third place team in the National Tourney during his years at Bolton. He is also the base- ball coach, and his baseball teams are always strong. Augustus W. Jackson finished his second year in November as football coach, and both of his teams have been strong contenders for State honors. Miss Florence B. Thomas has coached the girls’ basket- ball and track teams to several successful seasons. Stewart A. Ferguson, a new name on the roster, begins his first season as track coach, this year. Judging from his success in Lake Charles, we expect great things of his track team.
