All books published heretofore by local schools have been merely Class Annuals, prepared by and for the members of the graduating classes. We have attempted, in this book, to give due publicity to every High School organization. Special care has been exercised that every activity of interest in Brackenridge be included, and we trust that our first publication will be heartily received by all. The Staff Hcst We Jffimjet Be it remembered that it was during the school year of 191819 that the great War of the Nations came to a successful close. This page is dedicated to the memory of the part played by the students of Bracken-ridge in aiding the United States on its journey to victory. What did Brackenridge do? To give due publicity to the various ways in which we helped would alone oonsume a volume of this size. Stating briefly the various fields in which we assisted, we must mention the following topics: Sixteen students and four members of our faculty, deeming that service in the field is more needed, volunteered in the American Army or Navy. In the campaign for the sale of War Savings Stamps the students purchased nearly $9,000 worth of certificates, and were directly responsible for the sale of several thou sand more. In the five successive Liberty Loan drives about $15,000 worth of bonds were sold by the students. Heavy subscriptions were also made to the Unite War Work Compaign. the American Red Cross, and the Y. M. C. A. During the school vacation, not a single boy of Brackenridge remained idle. Many students qualified for the Boys’ Working Reserve, while hundreds of others secured positions in the workshops of Uncle Sam about the city. Aside from the performances of the individual students are those fields into which the school entered as a whole. Red Cross work, conservation, and reclamation were the main topics. Students of the domestic science department prepared thousands of bandages for the Red Cross while many small articles of hospital furniture were made and delivered by boys in the manual training department. Along the lines of conservation, it might be stated that our cafeteria met with all the requirements of the food administration and did its utmost to urge the students to conserve. Reclamation of waste material was one of the fields into which every department of the school entered. Proper care was taken to limit the consumption and waste of paper and other necessities and all waste was promptly sold by the school. With this short summary of the part “we played” in the war it is evident, and students can proudly tell to the world, that we “did our levelest.” i injr r mmmmmnm i miH t iliilI v iuiwuh Ui)M)i}nhn mmnmmnummnuL —7— wirm 39.

MEEK, Superintendent of the Public Schools. It is the pride of our city to have Mr. Meek as our leader in education. Coming here with a national reputation, his keen foresight quickly sought out the needs of our educational system, and changes were effected accordingly. It was through his efforts that the elective system and other reforms, that have since been adopted by the best high schools of the state, were installed here. Mr. Meek has proved himself a true worker for our schools and it is to him that credit is due for the high scholarship attained in San Antonio. MR. MARSHALL JOHNSTON. Principal, Brackenridge High School. Brackenridge leads the city in scholarship, in interscholastic work, and in athletics. Our attainments along these lines are due directly to the efforts of our principal. Mr. Johnston possesses those qualities which make him beloved by everyone with whom he is associated. He has aroused in Brackenridge, a school spirit that stands for clean and fair sports without any traces of antagonistic rivalry. By promoting student government in this school he has developed a democratic union of heart and purpose among the pupils that is unsurpassed in this state. In governing the school he has won the loyal co-operation of every student, by giving personal attention to the smallest details. We congratulate ourselves on Mr. Johnston, our principal, a good counsellor and a model sportsman. v m mzzzm immnnmmim —10— v V VW N y j lumiiiuiiiniiiiiiwiiiii iiiniimiinimmnimt niiWiiHWHuiniiunw Chicago University MISS GERTRUDE MALONI English Baylor University Chicago University New York Chautauqua MRS.

February 19, 1918, that (he Class of Feb. T9 was organized. This was the second class to graduate from Brackenridge. Officers were elected and sponsors chosen. “He conquers who endures” was selected for the class motto and this was truly proven by the class. True to all expectations, the Feb. class immediately took part in the social activities. Their first party, given at the home of Miss Edith Weber was a get-to-gether party to enable the members to become acquainted. It proved to be a huge success as the friendship and hearty co-operation of the Feb. members amply testified. The next social event, a picnic, was given by the Feb. T9’s to the June T8 Class at Brackenridge Park. There were about three hundred present, but the efficient social committee was not to be caught unawares. After the truly wonderful feast, quite beyond the masticating powers of the June's, dancing began and proved to be the chief entertainment of the evening. When the fall term arrived, the Feb’s were a strong, enthusiastic class of energetic seniors. The social committee had delighted plans for a Hallowe'en Party, but alas! the quaranteen. imperative because of the “Flu,” fell upon their bright schemes; so it was not until six weeks later that, with a slight change in the program, it was made an enjoyable Thanksgiving Party, the June '19’s accepting our invitation to share the pleasure. At eight o’clock the fun began. The Music Room was artistically decorated in the Feb. and June Class colors. The novel feature of the evening was the one hundred and fifty guests who come dressed in aprons and overalls. Some of the interesting numbers of the program were: a musical comedy, in which ten of the guests drew pictures representing popular songs; a procession of illustrious ghosts; and Mother Goose Rhymes, acted in pantomime. This game caused endless gaity which grew even greater during the next game, that of acting the comic page characters. Soon after this fun, the guests sat down to a feast served in the cafeteria. Less than a month later the June '19’s gave a most delightful entertainment to the Feb. Class on the eve of December 31. The entertainment began with the singing of “Holy Night.” As the last notes died away, a ringing of “sleigh bells” was heard, and in at the window leaped jolly St. Nick, represented by Walter Springall. His visit, he explained. was for the purpose of redistributing misfit Christmas gifts, and he caused much enjoyment in his attempts at readjustments. The guests then marched to the cafeteria, where Mr. Johnston acted as toastmaster for the evening. Story telling followed the banquet; also a game of authors and a dance around the Christmas Tree. The lights were extinguished for a few minutes before the bells and whistles proclaimed the arrival of the New Year. Another pleasant social event was a party given to the Class by Zay Smith, at the attractive home of Mr. and Mrs. Moos. Interesting games were planned and played in rapid succession. One of the most amusing features of the entertainment was a mock WWWvWWWWWWWWWWWW V V W N V vwwwwwwwwwwwwww . W l u, iiiuiniiiiiiiimnniuii 7 J A i .

Delghtful refreshments were served. On February 9, a special assembly was held by the Feb. ’19 Class. Frank Williams spoke in behalf of the seniors and later introduced Mr. Griffin, director of the Kelly Field Glee Club, who led the school in some popular songs. Next. Supt. Charles Meek gave an excellent talk on “Democracy.” A violin solo by Fred Schuetze and a song by the school, closed the exercises. The opening event of commencement week was the Baccalaureate Sermon. February 2. in the hansomely decorated Brackenridge Auditorium. Dr. Gates delivered a sermon, which we hope will not only be long remembered by the Class, but will prove an in spiration for the future. The Class Play “Green Stockings.” was presented in the Auditorium on the 5th and 6th of February. On account of the great demand for tickets, three performances were given, the extra one on the night of the 5th. February 8. a fourth performance was given for the entertainment of the soldiers at Camp Travis. Friday. February 7. was the night of all nights: commencement. This day will never be forgotten by the Feb. T9 members. At eight-fifteen o’clock, the class assembled upon the tastefully decorated stage. The spirit of the evening was impressively represented by the chorus and song. The principal speaker for the occasion was Mrs. Maggie Barry of Kidd Key College. Then the great moment arrived when the beautiful girls in their white dresses, and the happy boys filed down to receive the priceless diplomas from Dr. Evans. Scholarships were awarded to three fortunate students: Frank Williams. Ruth Woodside and Zay Smith. Next, Letha Mae Russell, our most industrious member, received a prize for the prettiest graduation dress. Our Beautiful Class Night entertainment, arranged by Miss Gibbons, was presented by the class on February 11. Of this event we feel justly proud. The clever plan of representing the Y. M. C. A. hut in Francs afforded an opportunity for interesting scenes and pleasing effect in costuming. We shall never forget Miss Gibbons’ untiring work for us. The Farewell Party, given at the school, was one of the most delightful affairs of the Class. The party was planned and managed by the Stevenson and Lanier Literary Clubs. At eight o’clock the guests were greeted by the King and Queen of Hearts represented by Zay Smith and Florence McDaniel. Many appropriate games furnished the entertainment of the evening. Then followed a supper in the cafeteria, making the Farewell Party a happy one. The Feb. T9 Class was essentially a war class. The sacrifices, and patriotism, and the spirit of democracy that prevailed during its entire career were only small examples of the attitude of the school—or of the great nation of America’s young people—in its relation to the past World War. The Feb’s struggles and difficulties were many, but in a spirit of their motto, they met them with wonderful determination and zeal. The Feb. T9 Class history will never be ended; her spirit will never cease to permeate the life of the school; while the individual influences of her members will be a lasting honor to Brackenridge High School. 913 munmimunumim immmimwm —44— —st— umi wmimtmmi tiimniinmmimninm tiimiimimiimiimtnii. iinnnmimiinmmnrn GIBIe Mmmrnrnw llllg 1 A v wwwwvwwwww ■■■■ COMMENCEMENT DIRECTORS SET EL (Mg —- •• Mmv 11919 £ jm ¥■7 77) DR.

Act 1. Living room in Faraday Hall, a country place in England. Time: Evening in early spring. Revolting against the assumption that she is doomed to don the third pair of green stockings (which is the custom of the elder sister at the marriage of the younger). Celia electrifies the family by announcing her engagement to one Colonel Smith in East India. She writes a letter to him to verify it and confesses her deception only to Aunt Ida. The letter is mailed instead of burned, and this forms the connecting link with the second act. Act II. The same room. Time: Early evening, eight months later. The dramatic effect of Celia's and Aunt Ida’s announcement in The Times of the death of Colonel Smith in Bombay, East India, is further heightened by the appearance of Colonel Vavasour, who announces he has brought mementoes and a last message to Celia, who is at a loss to account for this turn in the pre-arranged plot, but rallies and plays up to the situation. Act III. The same room two hours later. Celia and Colonel Vavasour have dined together and found grounds of mutual interest aside from Smith, but the disclosure that Smith’s and Colonel Vavasour’s watch are the same reveals to Celia that her imaginary lover of whom she has dreamed and to whom she has written for eight months has assumed reality. He assures her that the ideal for whom he has been searching all his life has been similarly substantiated, and Celia decides that his twenty years of loyalty outweigh Raleigh’s twenty minutes of waiting. We have taken the liberty of lifting this play out of the author’s modern setting and of placing it a half century earlier, since it more truthfully reflects the spirit of that period. It is hoped that the presentation of the charms and graces, and also some of the stupidities of early Victorian society will for two hours carry you out of the nerve-strained. post war present, and emphasize a bit more vividly the sweeping changes of manners and thoughts that have come with these last full years.

She is sent to France. Her chum, Henrietta Knck. selfishly continues to spend her time dressing and doing society. But Henrietta was later asked by the Y. W. C. A. to take the Society Girls’ part in a playlet entitled “The American Girl on Trial.” Eagerly she seizes the opportunity to display her hajidsome evening wrap. As the trial progresses, she is impressed with the enormity of her own selfishness. She is converted to the great cause of the war. Like all society girls she had her pet diversion, which was kindergarten work. The trial resulted in her volunteering to train kindergarten teachers in France. The Y. M. C. A. Secretary, Thomas Hogan, naturally meets the kindergarten teacher. To know her was to love her. But the Chaplain, George Mueller, was similarly affected! A friendly bit of rivalry follows. One day the Ambulance driver rushes into the Y. M. C. A. hut to use the telephone. To her surprise, she meets the Secretary and the Kindergarten Teacher who are puzzling over an entertainment for the enlisted men. They find that a great many Americans arc in Paris and the neighboring towns—Delegates to the Womans’ Congress, Red Cross Nurses, Convalescing Soldiers, . M. C. A. Workers, canteen Girls, Salvation Army Lassies, Secretaries of the American Library Association, and Gay Samaritans. They decide to gather them all in and give a two part program representing school days in San Antonio. Part I: “When First We Went to School,” was laid at Bonham School in 1!)0!).

M. C. A. Secretary kicks over something without. Mistaking this for an air raid, the war workers hurry to cover. Part II: “When Last We Went to School” was laid at Bracken ridge, in 1018. The Secretary who has already lost sight of the kindergarten teacher now endeavors to recall the friends. Emma Jackson, a Naval Reserve Girl, plays a solo during which the Americans again drop in.

She recalled her Aunts’ last concert, all the honors she had won, How the dear gray haired old lady to the world much good had done. Then the little girl remembered how her Auntie oft did tell Of happy times in Brackenridge. the school she loved so well. Emma turned the green book’s pages; read the message by each name And the many, many clippings, how the writers came to fame. Then being very lonely, she began to read aloud, And to comment on the clippings, why her Auntie was so proud. Here’s her president, Frank Williams, such fame by him was reached That men travelled to Korea where the missionary preached. And his wife, too. once an actress, simply Leila in this book. Was a very worthy helpmeet, one can tell that by her look, Henrietta now inspires great crowds with her sweet voice And all who hear her charming notes have reason to rejoice. Then Freda Pullen also sings each Sunday in the choir Her good influence reaches far and lifts one's tho’ts up higher. As superintendent of the schools in our largest state. Lucille Burks, a pretty Feb., to teachers does dictate. And Ethel Fassnidge now instructs in the latest dancing step Her pupils should progress indeed, for Ethel has much “pep”. There’s DeWitt May. the boy who once did stroll along our hall, A learned man. he now presides o’er classes large and small. And oh, yes! I recall it now, there’s Lucille Frederickson, As a writer of romantic tales this girl much fame has won. And Julia Reich’s a milliner, with hats of every kind; There’s not a hat or veil in vogue but at her store you’ll find. Now Donald Old. a soldier bold, commands a company, His men obey, without delay, his word is law, you see. When Frances Kroeger played or wrote, her music was received. With much enjoyment everywhere, and her success achieved. And then there’s Alton DuPuy, “who studied long and hard.” As an aeroplane cop he now is reaping his reward. And Kenneth Palmer spends his time, in writing lovely sonnets. And pretty girls to please this man put on their newest bonnets. When Lucille Howie was wed. I read in head lines very large, The Service was most beautiful, with DeWitt May in charge.

He knows the secrets of the great, and how base balls are twirled. And Berneice Abshier now resides within a mansion new; At Austin as the Governor’s wife, with duties not a few. Byron Wyatt has wandered far into a neighboring land To join the bandits of the south in Villa’s well known band. Rodney Whitney known by students as the “Little Rascal” Has wandered far and now resides within the Kaiser’s castle. For nursing people when they’re sick, and helping when they’re maimed In her great hospital abroad, is Elsie Franke famed. And Roscoe Smothers, lucky boy! a married man is he; His office hours, his only joy. for henpecked sore is he. When Charlotte Bose told her friends that she would write for boys, They all did laugh, but now they see she knows what a lad enjoys. To say you know what will be is far from a safe be;. Nannie Belle surprised us all, for she’s a suffragette. I blush for Anna Segal, her deed will make you sigh. Instead of dear old Brackenridge. she teaches at Main High. A governess is Lucille Glascock, on a western ranch. Between her rides across the hills, she teaches little Blanche O well, the will of destiny must always be obeyed. Florence McDaniel turned out to be a prim precise old maid. Hazel Muckenfuss did wed right rich, a little love mixed in. She helps her hubby to complete each thing he does begin. The quiet, timid, Miss Springall, whom notice used to vex. Has changed so much that now she leads mass meetings of her sex. “The Nation’s Great Evangelist. A Man of Magic Power.” Cline Slaughter preaches to great crowds, and holds them by the hour. The Century’s new serials are read by young and old, Since Edith Weber writes about a hero fierce and bold. It seems that the detective, shrewd Hawkshaw. was short of force.

The day will softly come when last We look upon these red brick walls, When last we hear the happy cries Of students in our merry halls; When last the verdant lawns we see With flowers blooming down beside The place where we must all file out, When sober June has come and died, When we go out from Brackenridge. Each day will mark the nearing hour Of parting times for saddened Junes; But let us have no thought today Of when we’ll hear the farewell tunes; And let tomorrow’s sorrow be, And let us go a carefree way, Ere we must lose our golden youth, Ere June has rung her fateful lay That bids us go from Brackenridge. So softly comes the day, the last We spend in High School happiness; So gently does it sing, so sweet Its charm, we scarce could ever guess That it could bid us leave. The hope We own thru fleeting days may be The last young joy that we shall know Before we sail the unknown sea. Before we leave our Brackenridge.

It is unique in many respects: no other Class ever held its social activities to so economic and democratic a basis; ever undertook so stupendous and unselfish a task as the construction of their out door theater; ever carried thru so successfully the complicated details of a historical pageant and drama; ever met with reform so many of the criticisms of Modern High School graduating classes. The sponsors fixed and adhered to maximums of expenditure in various details: one dress for both Baccalaureate Sunday and Commencement Night— this dress of organdy, not silk; a uniform hat costing less than four dollars; no flowers except those the Class had cultivated; no dances, because they involved expenditures out of proportion to the members sharing in the amusement; Class rings and pins costing under five dollars. And so, thoroughout the various details of graduation, our sponsors have stood firmly for uniformity, simplicity and economy. If the Class undertook great things it was because, with Sponsors so willing to work themselves, it was inspired to dare greatly and achieve nobly. In giving “Jeanne I)’Arc” as in our other lesser enterprises; our Sponsors guided by a high principle to direct the energies of the Class toward the interpretation and presentation of one of the greatest lives in all history, with its accompanying panorama of noble dramatic action—no namby-pamby love play with the curtain falling as the hero clasps the heroine to his manly bosom. And in the special performance of Jeanne I)’Arc the June ’19’s placed themselves beyond mere praise; It was truly a wonderful production, unified, harmonious, marvellous in both spectacular and dramatic effects. For the unparalled success of this play, the June Class, as well as the school are indebted largely to the untiring vigilance of the Class Sponsors. In the ideals and principles that they have consistently advocated, they have achieved a standard that will long reflect glory on Bracken-ridge High School. ■ww v« meggai —74— m ww w lARETAMAl mimmiimmumm « KATHERINE McCALLA “Kappy” She says little, but takes in everything.

In building this theater the Junes have not only brought renoun upon themselves, but have also established an institution on our Campus that is the only one of its kind in this section of the United States. The Riverbank '1'heater is a novel construction in every way. It is situated on the curving bank of the San Antonio River at the southern extremity of the School Campus. On one side of the river on the terraced bank are the seats while the stage rises on the opposite side of the stream. The water is not only an excellent reflector of light but also has wonderful acoustic properties. The stage is connected with the amphitheater by two mediaeval bridges. The conception and development of this institution is the product of the minds and hands of the members of the June T9 Class and the students and ■� — 1 ■ immmmmnm Ml vmmmmmummrm mmmiimm rmmmmmm —112— W W N WA LAiETAMA SSS5SI 'llllli I 5 JKKwzw r Eb H THE THEATER COMPLETED AND SOME OF THE WORKERS (Our (Sift to Prackenrii� 0c—««� « « n « teachers as a whole. Its financing and construction was undertaken by the Clslss. Those members of the Class who are most responsible for the success of our undertaking are Henry Dreycr, student foreman of the construction, and Myer Passur, business manager. It is thru the efforts of these two members of the Class that our gift was made a possibility. The Riverbank Theater was formally opened by the Seniors with their production of “Jeanne I)’Arc” by Percy Mackaye, on May 14th. 15th and 16th. The presentation of this play with the effects produced by the Riverbank Theater brought instant renown to both the Class and to the school. The June Class Night exercises were also held at the Riverbank. This gift of the (’lass to Bracken ridge High School is made in the hope that it will further the educational, aesthetic, and recreational life of the students and will be used beneficially by the Community in general.

Left alone, she muses by the Fairy Tree while the Ladies of Lorraine emerge from the trees and the Twilight Voices sing.

After the Queen has been escorted to her throne, groups of gaily attired lads and lassies perform for her amusement. The climax of the evening is reached when the Gypsies arrive, and the old seer looks into the future and gives the fate of the Class.

I entered into existence (as I've been told and believe) at 2:30 p. m., September 23, 1!)18. I have since heard that it was at that time declared by some sage persons in the neighborhood that I was destined to an unlucky career, but my own experiences show that this prophecy was false. On the contrary, I believe the good stars “met in my horoscope.” Orphaned though I was, I was still fortunate in my new commodious home, and having two faithful and skillful nurses, namely Mrs. Rosa Baugh and Miss Ora Johnson. Moreover, the wise guardians who assumed management of the details of my development and guidance were assurances of success. My ancestry was all that could be desired. The sturdy stock of Bonham gave me such worthy elements of growth as Mary McNelly, Lolita Dibrell, Mary Esther Strieber and Raymond Dugosh. From the refined atmosphere of “Old Braekenridge” came the splendid traits I have evidenced in Alice Droke. Thelma Linnartz, Florence Cowdry and Chester Clifton. From the shack at Main Avenue came the glowing possibilities of Hilda Webber. Phillip Roberston, Theo Koester, Francis Wilson and Robert Orth, all blended parts of my complex and titanic personality. Mingling in my blood, too, are those pure elements of foriegn strains, (luy Paine. Joe Gallegly, Georgie Brassell, Raymond Burnham, Hannah Baylin, bringing with them the added strength that always comes with fresh blood. CHAPTER II—MV NERSES ASTONISH ME. One day 1 was in great distress. I needed a pennant; but had no money for its purchase. While I was floundering over the quandary one of my good nurses announced that she and her fellow nurse would pay for my pennant and I might return the money at some later date. I breathed a sigh of relief only to have other problems to confront. But always my nurses came to the rescue. CHAPTER III—I MAKE MY DEBI T. At last I had a little money to spend; but just how to spend it ? Even in my own mind 1 could not decide! Should I heap it all in one donation on the alter of Terpsichore or should I more unselfishly and democratically share it among the lesser Gods of purer pleasure. My nurses looked on wistfully, then gladly, as I made the latter choice. Then amidst competitive games that spurred my intellect and humorous contests that shook my sides with laughter, I feasted and feted away the delightful evening of my first party.

Time stole on unobserved and there is a blank thru which the warriors of Latin and Geometry march on in stately hosts. Then time brought Christmas around. With my good nurses assistance I was soon bursting with enthusiasm and happy anticipations for a “Gift Party” with Santy and a Christmas tree as accompaniments. My hopes were blighted by the entrance of “Mr. Flu” who ordered my school closed for three weeks. I was forced to comply with his demands. But later in spite of all obstacles T had my party and a happy one it was, with its gifts for all and a satisfying repast. 1 recall another good time 1 had at the home of one of my friends. Arrayed in my lovliest clothes, I displayed all my latest social graces. And another delightful evening passed into the history of my youth. CHAPTER V—I ASSIST IX A PROCESSION.

Now the time is drawing near when I must leave the dear old home around which clusters so many sweet memories and where 1 spent the happiest days of my life. The one great thing I leave behind me, is my River-bank Theatre which 1 hope will be appreciated by the next generation. If I could feel that I have by any word or act helped my friends to a higher realization of their duty to themselves and to the world, or inspired them to feel the sacredness of the trust reposed in them for the future welfare of this community, to carry on and increase any good work which I may have started.

We desire that the womanly beauty of this class, personified in Miss Marguerite LeLaurin, be imposed upon Jack Meyar of February, 1920, Class; the said young man being highly desirous of this exterior physical adornment. Third. Acknowledging the fact that we possess a superfluity of manly beauty in one Raymond Dugosh, and realizing the injustice of taking the said regularity of features from the school, we bequeath it to Mr. Charles Webb. Fourth. Deeming it fit that the sweet temper of this class, demonstrated in Miss Alice Droke, should not be retained, we hereby bestow the viture in question upon those members of the faculty that most need it. Fifth. Realizing, also, that Ihe pools of delusion in the eyes of Miss Margaret West would be disastrous to the success of mankind; and not desiring to assume this grave responsibility, we dispose of them by placing them in charge of Miss Rose Rurges. Sixth. We give and bequeath the assumed dignity of Guillermo Loya, which has floated him throughout his high school career, wishing to relieve him of embarassment in future life, to Bruno Reich. Seventh. Modestly acknowledging the high standard of scholarship attained by the June ’19 Class, exemplified in Byron Hanson and Miss Minerva Flores, and manfully seconding the statements of our instructors that scholarship is the ultimate goal of all student endeavor, we hereby give and bequeath this, our greatest virtue, to the English VIII Class of the future, and their heirs forever. Eighth. Feeling that the faithful industry and undeviating devotion to duty, characteristic of the class as a whole, and exemplified in Fleming Findlay, is too vast a power to bequeath to any one individual, we hereby repose it in the hands of the February ’20 Class in toto, to be used in such portions as their various needs demand. Ninth. Whereas, having disposed of our private accomplishments, we, in a more serious vein, as a memento of our affections and regard, direct that the precedent established by our school Annual be conferred upon the interests of the student body in general. Tenth. Moreover, realizing the educational value and pageantic beauty of our class play, we with deep and sincere gratitude for the aid they have rendered in its production, nominate the population of this City as its beneficiaries.

The erection of the buildings was begun in the year 1916 and completed in the Summer of 1917. It was not until September, 1917 that the buildings were occupied. As a school, Bracken ridge stands equal with many colleges in size and equipment. In the three sections of the school building there are nearly one hundred class rooms, laboratories, work rooms, study halls; and a school library. Every room is thoroughly equipped with the most modern educational conveniences. Aside from the class rooms, is the auditorium which has a seating capacity of sixteen hundred persons. The school plant is built to accommodate approximately eighteen hundred students. At Ihe time of completion it was thought that this would be sufficient to accommodate all students in its territory for at least ten years. But during the two years of its existence the attendance has increased from twelve hundred to nearly seventeen hundred students. Some of the many subjects that a re taught in Braekenridgc are Business Courses, Mechanical Drawing, Domestic Art, French, Linotype and Printing, Domestic Science, Manual Training and Orchestra. During the last year Military Training has also been added to the curriculem. The school has eleven clubs and literary societies. Of these, five are girls’ literary and social organizations; two are boys’ debating societies, one of which has produced a state champion team; and four are language and special clubs. A city champion Cadet Corps composed of about three hundred and fifty boys; and several championship athletic teams have also added glory to Braekenridgc. In scholarship our school has attained the highest mark. While the amount of failures in this city reaches an average of about eight percent, only six percent of the Braekenridgc students arc failures. More of our students have also qualified for the exceptional roll than in any other local high school. From this summary one can easily see where Braekenridgc stands. The biggest high school, which leads not only in scholarship and attendance, but also in club work, in interscholastic competition, in athletics, and in fitting leaders for the future! mnmmnmmmm ■ ’mmmmmmmmm) wnmnmmmmnnnL I mmiuii mm-z nmmmmmmimm —141— THE AUDITORIUM AT ASSEMBLY THE STAGE DECORATED FOR THE FEB. 19 COMMENCEMENT SUNDAY Assent bin « n Perhaps the most interesting and instructive form of education to the average Bracken ridge student is received in the assemblies. There has never been an instance when a pupil has been known to be disappointed when the notice of “assembly in the Auditorium” was read out. This deviation from the regular routine of studies seems to hold certain charms for every member of the student body. But the varied subjects which have been discussed at the assemblies have been very beneficial to the students. Among the different programs are the following: Lanier Day, a Y. M. 0. A. man from overseas speaks; Stevenson Day, Mr. Maeklyn Arbuckle, movie star, entertains the audience; Peace Day, November 12th; Liberty Bond and V. S. S. assemblies and many other school rallies concerning athletics, interclub and interscholastic meets and various other school enterprises. With this variation from school work students are continually kept up in school spirit and are urged to give aid to every plan that is introduced to them. It is reallv nleasing to hear Mr. Johnston’s closing words for every assembly: “This is truly one of the best assemblies we have ever had.” N V V V vWWWWWWVXWWWWWWV WVWWWWWWWWWWWWW uimiinimimuminmn.

Brackenridge. This gift was indeed a great aid for the library has since proved to be a most vital part of the school. Much credit for the rapid work in getting the library in running order is due to Mrs. Murphy, our first librarian. The work has been continued by our present librarian. Miss George Armstrong, with unfailing interest and as a result we now have one of the largest school libraries in the Southwest. Our library contains about three thousand volumes of the world’s best literature, In fiction, essays, drama, poetry, as well as books on fine arts, science, government and economy. There are also many history reference books, and a complete set of encyclopaedia. The daily circulation of the library is over two hundred books. This does not include the reference books which are in constant use. We can indeed feel proud of this record. Our librarian is assisted by girls chosen from the student body and recommended by the principal. The student assistants for the past term were: Marjorie Baty. Mary McNelly. Lolita Dibrell. Alice Droke. Hilda Webber, Aline Sulzbacher. Ida Dunham and Lorraine Rippstein. Ctlic JS'cIhtoI (l)rclu'stra Jff S? One of the many courses that has proved its worth to Brackenridge is the High School Orchestra. At the opening of school in 1917, this course was organized and directed by Mr. Wesler. who later joined the army. It was under the able direction of Miss Penelope Borden that our present orchestra of twenty-six pieces, was formed. The accompaniment rendered by the orchestra on all occasions, has brought much praise to our school. Under the supervision of one of the most efficient members of the orchestra, Eugene Baugh, some of the members have also organized themselves into a Cadet Band. The personnel of the orchestra is as follows: Violin,s: Lolita Dibrell. Anita Daniel. Darthula Davis. Werner Wosnig, Gilbert Meier. Romeo Karth, Earl English. Florian Lindberg, Esther Lucas. James Carter. Clifton Meier. Eugene Thurman, Lesser Benjamine; String Hass, Marcellus Birkenmeyer; Cello Eugene Baugh; Fluffs, Harold Cory, Mabel Norris; Clarinet.

This course was installed by a gift of Colonel George V. Brackenridge, who presented two modern linotype machines to the school for educational purposes. After the installation of these two machines, a hand printing press was purchased and printing was added to the course. This special department is under the direction of Mr. George S. Dickerson, agent of the Mergenthaler Linotype Company, who formerly worked on the New York World. In the instruction of the use of the linotype machine Brackenridge can claim the distinction of being the only high school in the United States to teach that course. One of the great accomplishments of this department is in the work turned out by the students. Aside from the mere operation of the machines, students have also prepared much work for the office and school board as well as the printing of the weekly school paper, the “Times.” In teaching this course the school is constantly preparing the students for the business world. According to the statement of the instructor Brackenridge can turn out about ten or twelve expert typesetters and printers every term. This is quite a record for our school. mmrrnn7nir. ..„— 1 rim,rM vnmmnmmmnnmm ! vrmmmmmnnmmin zJ mmmmmmmmmm —147— 5TDPYING NATURE ricultuj?e Clajs in the Jghool CrARPTN Pot-ant Ola js v topyino Plantj on the .Johool Oampuu ------------------------------------------------------------- —148— Class In Typewrit mg J +- '-V Chemistry Laboratory Sctrm MArtUM Traihimg CLASS ■WnNHiiHwHiHHHHBBi s WWV uuuiuimiiiuiiiHnuwi tttttwiiiuninuuuMm timimmiinuuiniunii y z —149— vwwwwwwwwwwwwww bSMEM iiiiiimiuniiiinmmiuii ✓ | mmimmumnum mmannimm mwmmmmmim —1ST— W 7 iiiiimmmiimiiiimiiii HttttiHUUiHHinmunn uniitmminnniuimin nniiimnminmiuunn. n W V V I ; wwwvw v m EXCEPTIONAL STUDENTS cn to Those whose names have appeared on the exceptional list for three successive quarters are: Fred Gierspeck, Ferda Edgecomb.

The two advisers who have developed the highest standards of scholarship among their pupils are Miss. Florence Allem and AIiss Concha Chapa. These two advisories may he classed as the “cream of Brackenridge having set the example to all other students. Miss Allem’s room ranks as the leader in the school. During the first term this advisory claimed the distinction of having the least number of failing students, and being second in the race for exceptionals. During the second term, however, they made even a better mark in grading and led the school in both classes. The honor of having the most exceptional students falls to Miss ( hapa. During the first part of the school year nearly one-half of the advisory qualified for the exceptional list. This record was kept up throughout the entire session of school. In attendance, the boys of Mr. Leroy E. Campbell’s advisory have taken the honors. This room, composed of twenty-three boys, has the distinction of not having a single tardy pupil during the entire school year. When the question was asked : “Who is always on time?” the answer was quick in coming: “Room 108”. Mr. Campbell’s pupils are also among these who have qualified for the least number of absentees in the school. ammmm’E [ ywwwwwwwwwwwwvwv I i jmmmnmnmmm. wnnmmnnwmmim J nimmmmnnhininA iiniiwwDiwiiiiiiwm —154— I mmmv m 1 iiiiinniiiiinimiimmin I Ik mwmmimmvmn. mTTmmfwTTm mmmiimimiuw turn mmmmuutuuui Ulm L■.i'l-... mmumiimm 155— A xi ve ti e x x vvw ' A EGDM 106 AND e —157— N N Vv V.

I V- ) « « A |T WAS one of those mild, crisp days, full of promises of Spring when a ccr-____ tain number of boys and girls who idly scanned the bulletins were suddenly electrified by the announcement of the organization of the February ?20 Class. Eagerly they crowded into the solemn rows of hard seats in Room 236. Then I remember the beaming face of Mr. Marshall Johnston, as he speaks words of encouragement to the seniors-to-be. As he closes their enthusiasm is so aroused that they applaud in the most “ unsen iorly” yells and stamps. Mr. Jonhston then takes the chair and calls for the election of Class officers. The officers chosen are: President.................Rose Burges Vice president............Eleonor King Secretary................Christy Orth Treasurer..............Robert Ilugman Sergeant-at-arms.............Bruno Reich Reporter................George Harrell Parliamentarian...........Wanda Rives The sponsors chosen are Miss Elizabeth Dickey and Mr. Marshall Johnston. In choosing the Class Colors, Purple and Gold were chosen. On April 26, we held our first social. This was in the form of a get-together picnic at Brackenridge Park. Then comes the next. Students can he heard whispering “Garden Party”, “Feb. ’20,” “Can’t do it.” But they did, and it was a great success. Then 1 he Febs. have charge of an assembly. When the students enter the auditorium they behold the gorgeous colors of the most beautiful pennant ever owned by a Class. Then the curtain rises, and the president announces several delightful numbers of the program. As the assembly draws to a close, Major Tankersley is called to the stage. The president takes from its casing a beautiful article of the most beautiful colors and offers it to the Cadet. The Major is heard to mumble some words of acceptance and unfurls the most magnificent banner ever owned by a military organization. With the acceptance of the banner, the Cadets give a rousing cheer for the Febs. As I see the term draw to a close the Febs are entertaining the Junes with a picnic to Lauda’s Park. A good time is enjoyed by all. Then I awake and begin my work at school. wwwwwwwwxwwwwwvww pmzzzMmmzz wmmnmmmmmh —159— (1) Wanda Rives, parliamentarian; (2) Robert lineman.

The experiment proved a great success. At the first meeting of the class one hundred and thirty five students enrolled. From the organization, the Class has made great strides toward becoming the best in Brackenridgc. In attempting to outshine the precedent set by the classes of Feb. and June ’19 they began immediately to get down to business and chose their colors and pennant, and to plan social activities for the future. We feel sure that in the June ’20 Class, Brackenridgc has a strong supporter of the ideals of the school; and that during the next term there will be many strides in the way of improving the school. inimmmiimiiiiiiiimi —163— (Lhc JFebtUctnt ’21 Class 9 V—' � tf � Class Colors: Olive Green and Gold Class Flower: Marshal-Neal Rose President ......

As its purpose in the school, the club has adopted plans for creating an interest in the language and conditions of Spain, and of the Latin-American countries. In their discussions much has been learned about the customs and literature of these nations. The club has also made great strides along social lines. Thru the efforts of the chairman of the Social Committee, Miss Grace Humelius a very interesting and educative party was held at the school. Among other plans was that of a farewell party to the senior members of the organization.

The team that so ably upheld the honor of our school in this meet was composed of Messrs. Kenneth McCaila and Philip Robertson, of the Reagan Club. After having eliminated all competition among the other club members of Brackenridge these two speakers met and defeated the representatives of Main Avenue High School by a decision of 5-to-0. After this contest the team went to Austin for the final contests. In five successive debates the team, won state championship over all other contestants and brought home the Harris Cup as trophy. During the present year the school did not fare so well in the contests. In the de bate, Messrs. Francis Wilson and Ned Tankersley. of the Brackenridge Society, were defeated in the city elimination contest. In declamation, the school fared a little better. Miss Agnes Cox, girl declaimer, was successful in the city and district contests, but was defeated in the finals at Austin. The representative of the boys. Mr. Charles Gordon, was defeated in the district meet.

At first the prospects for organizing a winning team seemed hopeless, as very few of the players had had experience on any other team. But as the weeks of practice and try-out on the gridiron passed, many of the greenhorns were worked over into expert players and the team was ready for the field. The excellent record of the team during the season is due especially to the diligent work of Coach Poulier who made the champion team. THE RECORD B. H. S.—3 B. H. S.—6 B. II. S.—21 S. M. B. A.—0 B.

The title was not won until the second game, when Peacock went down the path of defeat. Big advances on every front marked the front line for the season. With other schools showing signs of organizing stronger teams, the season witnessed some closer scores than during the previous term. Despite the gloomy prospects coach Lutz turned out a team that admitted no superiors when it came to real fighting. The personnel of the team was as follows: Vernon Schuhardt and Virgil Winters, at forward were the scorers. These two “lightning men” although guarded by some of the best men in the city succeeded in netting quite a stack of field goals. Winters was the star goal thrower on the team of 1918, and although handicapped with a bad knee; he succeeded in throwing seven field goals during the two games. Captain Floyd Hagewood played a wonderful game all round. Pitted against the cream of the city at center he not only kept them down but also scored sixteen field goals, thereby leading the team in points scored. In Hamilton and Fernandez, Brackenridge owned one of the best guarding combinations in the state. It was their delight to “pounce” down on a man and break up the passes. The few goals made off this pair seemed to be made thru kindness on their part. The utility consisted of Messrs. Wosnig. McAllister, Krueger and Lutz. T11F RECORD B. H.

Just as the team was progressing nicely along its working lines the announcement was made that Rodney Whitney, who was acting as coach, was retiring to attend the West Texas Military Academy. IIis loss seemed a great loss to the team. Several of our other teammates also made their exit by the same means. However, fortune shone on us again just as the season was opening in earnest. Whitney and Aylmer, tiring of the routine of the West Texas school, returned to resume their places on our team and to finish their courses in school. Our star pitcher, Virgil Winters, also returned to us from the Peacock Military Academy. With this renewed strength our team rose from its somewhat dejected state and started on a journey to championship among the schools. THE RECORD B. H. S.—12...............S. A. Academy—5 B. H.

This year proved to be one of the most interesting and y.icces$-ful years in the history of the school as well as the world. It was in 1918 that Brackenridge won state championship in four events: first in debate, in which the contestants brought the Harris Cup to our school; and also in football, baseball and basket ball. The Battalion, when organized consisted of two companies, namely; Companies “A” and “B”, under the command of Major J. II. Heller. Company “A officers were: Captain Glenn Street, Fir t Lieutenant James Knowlton, and Second Lieutenant Emory Cushing. Officers of Company “B” were: Captain Lewis Kayton, First Lieutenant Jack Berman, and Second Lieutenant Reed Haythorne. Two weeks later, Company “CM was organized with Ned Tank-ersley as Captain, First Lieutenant Howard Barnhouse, and Second Lieutenants Monte Clayton and Charles Webb. After several weeks of intensive training the Battalion made its first hike. This was to the Salado Creek, a distance of seven miles. The trip was enjoyed by everyone and was entirely successful. At the end of the term the Battalion was reviewed by four army officers. In the competitive drill that followed review, Company “C” took the honors and was given the privilege of carrying the colors. In the individual drill for medals, that followed, David Porter won the Battalion medal; Judson Phelps, the Com- Pamiri ymrnmiwijmmA I mwMiuimm —197— pany “A” Medal; Buist Sharpe, the Company “B” Medal; and Buck Worncr, the Company “C” Medal. After the drill the officers for the next term were appointed, as follows: Major Ned Tankersley; Adjutant Gheral LeLaurin; Captains Harold Cory, Jack Moore, David Porter, Howard Barnhousc, Charles Webb, and John Aylmer; First Lieutenants Charles Chowning, Harry Hamilton, Reed Haythorne William Loya, Clark Crosby, and Charles Gordon; Second Lieutenants Thomas Hogan, Lea Clayton, Monte Clayton, Floyd Hagewood, ay Smith, and Charles Swartz. On account of the injuries sustained by Jack Moore during the vacation, the following changes were effected in Company “A”: Captain Harry Hamliton, First Lieutenant Thomas Hogan, Second Lieutenant James Forgason. After several months of training another competitive drill was held in which Company “A” won the honors. This drill decided which company was to drill against the Cadets of Main Avenue. In the interscholastic drill, the Main Avenue Cadet Corps were victorious by a vote of 3 to 2. The following officers were created for the Feb-June term of 191!): Colonel Marshall Johnston; Commandant J. II. Heller; Major Ned Tankersley; Adjutant Howard Barnhouse; Captains Harry Hamilton, David Porter, William Loya, Charles Webb, and Charles Gordon; First Lieutenants Charles Chowning, James Forgason, Reed Haythorne, Clark Crosby, Jack Bain and Theo. Koester; Second Lieutenants Robert Hugman, Roy McMurtray, Lea Clayton, Floyd Hagewood, Lanier Greer and Clarence Roberson. The Cadet Band was placed in charge of Captain Eugene Baugh and First Lieutenant Hiram Cowart. —198— ieLASCTAMA fZZZZZZMZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ 1 wmm m zzzm mriwmmnimwm mr (Our Battalicm — (Continued The Battalion outing to Leon Springs was an overwhelming success.

On May 20. 1919 a second competitive drill was held between picked companies of both Brackenridge and Main Avenue Cadets. In this contest the Brackenridge Cadets defeated their opponents by the unanimous decision of the judges. The Cadet Corps has been the greatest asset to Brackenridge High School during its short existence. It is thru the efforts of the boys that our athletic contestants have been boosted to championship. The Cadets arc directly rcsponssible for the early completion of the River-bank Theater of the June ’19 Class, and have also been working steadily on beautifying the school campus. The school lias been satisfactorily represented in every parade by the Corps an ■ due respect has been payed to every enterprise of the government.

Leon Springs, for an overnight hike. Permission to occupy some of the vacant barracks in that camp was previously secured from Colonel Johnston, Chief-of-staff of the Southern Department. After a pleasant but rough ride of several hours the destination was reached, and the Camp B. H. S. was opened. After the mess call was blown and supper eaten, the Cadets joined for a moonlight hike around the camp. After a short walk the boys returned to camp and marched thence to the Y. M. C. A. building. Soon after the return from the show at the Y. M. C. A. taps was blown and everyone slept??? Early in the morning the boys were roused by the sound of rcvielle. After the setting-up exercises, breakfast was served? After inspection and the returning of the cots and packing of the bedding, the Cadets went on a short hike to the target range, where pockets were loaded with souvenirs. After the noontide chow, the boys were free to go wherever tney pleased. Many attend the baseball game where the Cadets beat the Fourth Field Artillery team by a score of 2-to-l. At four o’clock assembly was blown and the camp was cleaned up before the return journey. Immediately the trucks departed. A cordial invitation to come again to the camp was extended to the Battalion after the hike by the commanding officer of the reservation.

FRANK BROS. “The High School Boys’ Store —236— The Story of i Successful Business Man SE WAS just a boy of eighteen, tired of the monotonous life on a Missouri farm where he had always lived, when with team and wagon and a load _____ of apples, he went to Springfield, some fifteen miles distant. After lie had peddled his apples from house to house and sold them all, he went into a shoe store with a dollar and a quarter to buy himself some shoes. The shoe store was just a very small one, and the proprietor himself acting as salesman, sold him his shoes. Before leaving he asked the man for work. He was told that a clerk wasn’t really needed hut a boy to wash windows and clean up and deliver might be used, hut the salary wouldn’t be over three dollars a week. Eagerly he took his job and set out to find a hoarding place. When finally he found a place, he discovered that it would take all of his three dollars a week to pay his hoard alone. But he saved fifty dollars from his labors on the farm, and he decided to stay at least until all his money was gone. Slowly hut surely, his fifty dollars dwindled away and things looked dark, when suddenly his salary was raised to five dollars a week without his having to ask for it. He was so amazed and encouraged that as he really liked the shoe business, he decided to stay and master that line of work and have a shoe store himself some day. For two long years he worked in that same small store, and then the owner suddenly retired, selling out and leaving him without work. He had even a smaller banking account than he had had when he began his career in the shoe store, and he felt in a way that his time had been wasted. But still when he went to St. Louis, and looked and looked for a position, and when finally after his last cent was gone, he did find one, it was in a shoe store. For several years he was a clerk and then he became a travelling salesman. He and two of his friends, working for the same firm and travelling together between St. Louis and Chicago, determined to have a shoe store of their own which some day he hoped would he the largest in the U. S. He had saved fifteen hundred dollars, as had one of his friends, and the other easily borrowed it. In order to insure the success of their business venture they agreed to two things; they should not marry for three years, and they would draw as a salary, ten dollars a week a piece and no more. He and one of his friends sold their share to the other one. Then they travelled all over the South and West trying to find a place suitable for a live store. Finally San Antonio was decided on, and here sprang up the store, “THE GUANANTEE,” San Antonio’s largest shoe store, under the leadership of Mr. Watson for it was Mr. Watson who had such a high ideal set for himself. The larger cities arc hard to heat and although Mr. Watson’s shoe store is not the largest in the United States, it is the largest in the largest state in the United States. —237— FURNITURE, RUGS AND DRAPERIES SOLD FOR CASH OR ON EASY PAYMENTS OUR GOODS THE BEST OUR PRICES ARE RIGHT COURTEOUS TREATMENT PLAIN FIGURE PRICES 10% DISCOUNT FOR CASH CASH IF YOU HAVE IT CREDIT IF YOU HAVEN'T IT Phone Cr. 113 Phone Cr. 115 ELECTRIC CLEANER IN mentioning the Frantz Premier to your friends, you will find them enthusiastic.

When we make a choice of a doctor, we are very liable to continue with the same one for a long time, which is also true of the bank with which we open our first bank account. When we need a doctor we need a good one, and if our first choice was a mistake, the penalty is serious. When we need a bank it pays to have made the right selection in the beginning.
