IPe haue tried to make this book representative of the entire school, and we hope that it will give a clearer conception and a better understanding of high school life from the student's viewpoint than its predecessors. Many difficulties have beset our way, but if benefit and enjoyment are derived from this annual we shall have been well repaid. —THE STAFF juuicuocrji itev jSgf gStfg Eiff Bcitalion Jlkiiniilratioti Ocl55C5 School Activities I COiU Cat •• Dedication To Marshall Johnston, who has always been ready when called upon to aid in any undertaking; who has taken the interest of a friend, as well as that of an instructor, in the welfare of euery student; and who has the affection and esteem of the entire school; we, the students of Brackenridge High School, dedicate our annual. liiBiWMiHiHiiiiSiiiiiii mmm i!i!l I l,i 11 i i i!{!i i!i i H si HIM $!!!� ! !! •Ul ..r r 3i 10 DR. JEREMIAH RHODES Superintendent of San Antonio Schools AEcestus, the Greek archer, drew his bow with such skill and strength that the arrow springing from the string burned a path into the very heavens. This story illustrates vividly and concretely the value of the singleness of purpose, of the absolute necessity of giving attention to one thing, of the great need of having a minute and accurate knowledge of one science. Instensity is genius, lofty purpose is distinction, and high resolve is triumph. —Jeremiah Shades. MR. WM. J. KNOX Assistant Superintendent of San Antonio Schools Mr. Wm. J. Knox, Assistant Superintendent of the San Antonio Schools, is one of those quiet men who works all of the time—accomplishing much in the time that most of us waste talking. When the editor asked Mr. Knox for a few remarks, he simply said, “Oh, I have nothing to say. You tell them a few words for me.” Too much appreciation cannot be extended him for his years of conscientious service in the San Antonio Schools. OUR PRINCIPAL There is little to tell the students of Brackenridge about Marshall Johnston, and yet a great space reprimand or praises, or just met and every student has come to him at some time or other—met the twinkle in his eye, received a light reprimand or praises, or just met him as a friend, for he is the personal friend of every boy and girl in B. H. S. Marshall Johnston has helped make Brackenridge what it is today, for he has sponsored it from its opening in 1916 to the present time, and the reputation that Brackenridge bears is ready proof of his success. His experience in dealing with Brackenridge boys comes from his experience in dealing with his own sons, and perhaps he will understand girls much better when Granddaughter Gloria, now eight months old, grows up. She fills a rather large place in Mr. Johnston’s life today, even though she is such a wee little thing. Whether it be essays, debates, declamations, football, basket-ball, baseball, or good scholarship, Mr. Johnston has far-reaching ambitions for Brackenridge and its students, and a helping hand and friendly word for the teachers. And so. as each succeeding class goes out into the world, the members part with a real friend. i 2 MISS ORA JOHNSON Vice Principal Baylor University University of Chicago University of Columbia MR.

Within, the empty halls are seen Made dark in gloomy silence The polished floors, the spattered walls Where ink was hurled with violence. facing the sign, “Keep Off The Grass”. Is a w’orn path, betraying The feet that, creeping slow to school. Went storming out to playing! Three month ago, a summer sun Shone over it at setting, Lighting its windows, and against the sky The smoke-stack silhouetting. It touched the heads of boys and girls Whose eyes were full of grieving. As seniors they their steps delayed. When all the school were leaving. For near them stood the red brick walls Which Fate for them had singled; Where work and romance they had oft In youthful manner mingled. In plain reluctance to depart To right and left they lingered. Intently talking, w'hile their hands The fire-’scape doorknobs fingered. And then a maid spoke out for all When in a voice carressing She said thru timid trembling lips As if a fault confessing: Tm sorry that we have to leave. We hate to go above you; Because—you are our Bracken ridge, Because you see. we love you.” Know, Brackenridge, our own dear school, That we who pass above you All sadly miss our High School days, Like her,—because we love you. 1 8 o The February Sponsors It has often been remarked that the success of a class depends upon the members, but in reality it rests largely upon the choice of sponsors. We chose our sponsors, Miss Sprott. Miss Wolf, and Mr. Williams. In order to accept their appointments, these teachers were forced to add extra duties to their already burdened programs. As members of the class under their guidance, we realize and appreciate deeply the kind and helpful interest which the sponsors maintained toward us; and we know that in every activity, whether of a social or a business nature, whatever success we achieved was due largely to the wise guidance and leadership of our sponsors. To them the sponorship may have been an arduous task, but we hope that our gratitude will be sufficient to repay them. For their sympathy in times that tried us; for their apprecation of all our efforts; for their joy in success; we gratefully thank them. In glancing back over our class career, we shall always feel that all our noteworthy achievements were due to them who inspired us to raise our ideals to the high standard maintained by Brackenridge graduating classes.

The club winning the highest honors received a prize of $10.00. This was awarded to the Stevenson Literary Society.

Both sponsors felt that the task ahead of them was not one which offered days of ease, but they decided to take it, and try to do their best for the class. They began by attempting to instill in the minds of the members the importance of working in unison towards the aims of the class as a whole, and by promptly quenching any fiery disputes in meetings which might tend to conflagrate the feeling of friendship between the members. Their aid in the careful management of the class finances made it possible for the Junes to give several social entertainments, all of which were successful. In order to make the famous June Carnival, “Paca , meet with the same good results it was necessary for their advice to be asked constantly. The same can be said of the Annual, the Class Play, and, in fact, every June undertaking. The class does not believe that Miss Helland and Mr. Heller performed their tasks merely because their offices required them to do so, for they always have done their work without desiring thanks, w'hich policy has gained for them a warm feeling of gratitude from every member of the June '22 Class. jC • 34 The Class of June 1922 President RAYMOND GERHARDT Vice-President . . .

Douglas Travers Richard Jochimson 03 “A Tailor-Made Man” John Paul Bart, hero of “A Tailor-Made Man,” holds the humble job of presser in the tailor shop of Mr. Huber, lie is confident that the time will eome when he can direct something more exalted than an electric iron. Tanya Huber, the tailor’s daughter, thinks so too. While working in the tailor shop he makes the acquaintance of Dr. Sontag, a proud overbearing German scholar, who is engaged to Tanya by Mr. Huber’s arrangement. Prom a book of philosophy that Dr. Sontag has written John Paul gets ideas which, put into practise at the first opportunity, spell success for him. One evening his change comes when a full set of evening clothes is entrusted to him for ressing. Bart sizes the change and dress suit, decks his ambitious bossom in a snowy hard-boiled shirt, and embarks on the daring adventure of breaking into society, fame, and fortune. With plenty of nerve, some good ideas, and a cool temperament, he enters an exclusive reception at the Stanlaws who are social leaders of New York. He has many trying experiences and narrowly escapes detection. Before the evening is over, however, he introduces himself to Mr. Nathan and convinces him that he should adopt a radical publicity campaign. As publicity manager for Mr. Nathan, John Paul is highly successful and rapidly climbs to the top in both society and business. Dr. Sontag is jealous and threatens to reveal the character of John Paul’s former life and occupation, thus forcing him to give his story to the newspaper. The public, on learning that the genius was an ex-presser and a social impostor, turns him out. He returns sadly to the tailor shop. The only silver lining in his black cloud of sorrow is that Tanya Huber, the girl he loves, has broken her engagement with Dr. Sontag. Fifth Avenue may be shocked and resentful, but “Big Business” still needs him, so Mr. Nathan comes for him and puts him on a bigger job than any he has tackled so far. Back into the big world he goes to face the problems of business and of life with Tanya at his side. 64 66 99 07 RUBY CVeO$H LILLIAN STAUSS LEONORA LACKEY ERNEST HiLDEBRANDT HALLOW RAGE VARREN G'LfroRD CROWELL ruth seele rill margrave BABY MARIE HELLAND EUANOR MAYNAHOV MARTHA ROBERTSON r LAWRENCE FASSET - CORINE EISERL.OH ESTELLE BERLINER EDWARD HEFTZBERG LENA GEWALT DARLENE MOORE BILL BRADSHAW wm 68 II i m.o'rs bjvbs s EVELYN LEONARD MARJORIE JACKSON VELMA ASSHAK LOIS CALLAHAN HAZEL CLARK A‘- a hath ERNE HOLLIER MERCEDES ARNOLD EMMA M'CKSNEV ELEANOR WEST BESSIE fe , Jr '' mary reich I' L A WtlUAMS © :• W' £■ VELMA 6 CCS f.

The June ‘23’s were to organize! On Friday, February 24, 1922, the throng crowded into room 236, and after much excitement, many debates, and long orations, Jesse Edwards took the chair as president of the June ’23 Class. The following Tuesday, the remaining officers were elected : Mary Wilson, vice-president; Mable Cooper, secretary; William Hill, treasurer; Juanima Wells, reporter; Mildred Phillipus and Clarence Downey, sergeants-at-arms; Clarence Sandel, parliamentarian; Juliet Pagen-stecher, censor; Lois Felt, custodian; Anna Wilkcns, historian; and Miss Lewis, Miss Robbins, and Mr. Johnston, sponsors Lavender and gold were selected as the class colors, and the sweet pea, the class flower. June ’23’s debut into the social whirl of Brackenridge was the presentation of the “Florist Shop” in the June ’22 Carnival. It was such a glorious success that it has been repeated many times since. The class has made a success of everything that it has undertaken because of the united efforts of the sponsors and the members. They are all looking forward to the coming year when the class may continue its successful work. 7 'A, Pins of Brackenridge 1. Interscholastic Medal 9. Stevenson Literary Club 2.

Brackenridge Debating Club In looking at the above picture we notice that all but four are club pins. These four pins remaining pins are honorary. A club pin is the emblem of the club and any member may wear it whereas the honorary pins are earned. Brackenridge is very proud of the fact that two of her students wear the interscholastic medal. This medal was awarded them when they won the state championship in debating. In addition to this medal our debaters wear the Brackenridge High School Debate Pin. This pin or a similar pin is given to each interscholastic contestant. Next in importance of our medals is the honorary cadet Medal. This year there were five such medals awarded; one to the best drilled man in each company and one to the best drilled man in the batallion. Brackenridge also awards the Sigma Epsilon pin for scholarship. This pin unlike the former medals does not become the permanent property of the wearer until his graduation and then only if he has an average of nine for his entire high school career. 76 Al' TLt fl • pf r ____ nriflS 'y ' sct v 77 78 Honor Roll of the Sigma Epsilon Students Jesse Edwards William Logan Mae Garrett Isabel Gibbons Mildred Phillipus Crystal Waters Josie Mae Bellows Edward Hertzberg Moraon Johnston Margaret Norton Nita Palmer Adile Poor Etta Fly Imogene Thompson Henry Willis Leola Davis Hesequio Gonzales Walter Lee Helen Lewis Angeline Vera Sophie Vera Elsie Elliott Ix is Felt Lynus Hart Annie Luckenbach Fannie Greenberg Margaret Burrier Ethel Dean Mary Louise Wilson Beatrice Burris Thelma Middleton Rosalie Roberson I ouise Barnes Clarence Krause Julius Nayfach Margaret Brodnax Marion Moore Margaret Bridges Helen Huffmeyer Murray Boone Leslie Fleming Vivian Stone Helen Bar sum Velma Hassman Sinda Brassfield Luan Traudt Frank Chairez Vivian Henderson Lorene Leifeste Elmer Werner Rosalie Haschke Gilbert McAllister Florence Reilly Margaret Beuhler Evelyn Jones Wiles Figg Theodore Weiss Walter Barnes Peary Bowman Fred Goss Adele Henderson Helen Brown Mavalene Frazier Ruth Seele Fannie Bek Peyton Irvine Dorothy Rooke Dorothy Ross Helen Hahn Helen Wolford Dorothy Houston Dahlia Watts Jewell Anderson Gladys Black Daisy Dixon Rachel Goldofsky Mary Ann Long Oberon Reynolds Juliet Pagenstecher Gertrude Taylor Frances Gregg Dovy Levey Montgomery Hawthorne Hilda Moths Clara Robinson Mercedes Arnold Eda Christians Ruth Detmers Lydia Olsen Mitchel Mazur Mildred Eason Fred Gremmel Ladelle Rice Susie Schuler Minnie Toerck Louise Carlisle Ann Levey Clarie Ewing Lorene Meek Louvlne Revely Bessie Blumenthal Leonie Nowotny Bella Ratner Lorene Holley Ben Bellows Paulina Crowell Gilford Crowell Evelyn Ferrell Doris Hoefgen Jesse Mae Gerfers Raymond Gerhardt Monroe Ritchie 7U Helen Voss Irma Briggs George Lewis Porter Ben Lesser Herbert Mueller Jewell Euckert Luella Gardener Kenneth Robertson Corinne Eiserloh Franklin Spear Lillian Staws Elfrida Suche Thelma Brock Mildred Burnett Don Ghrisue Dee Forgy Pedro Guerra Gwendolyn Shephard Rluma Rapaport Leland Antes Frank Bitter Beverly Caldwell Roy Mueller Asta Grona Lois Campell Jonnie Grayson Stuart Hoff Warren Thompson Marjorie Millikan Jennie Kelfer Harry Sandfield Aurora Loya Jake Ratner Cornelia Cazell Edger Tiner Emllyn Erb Randle Cartwright Clarence Downey Alton Dromgoole Ruth Fisher Berenice Itchner Kathleen Kane Mary Murrie Hedevig Sopp Herman Pollack Edwin Bogusch Martha Robertson Abbie Little Fred Grote Evelyn Leonard Lucille Weber Fortunata Hernandez Warren Hall Cecilia Beltrian Winifred Schultze Ruth Mueller '■ten C 1 K 80 «§«4?

Olivia Barton, leading lady, was superb in the role of Dorothy, and Robert Springer, as Captain .lack, carried off all the honors of the part. The management of the performance was in the hands of Miss Myrtle Inches, to whom great credit is due for the success of the play.

It not only made a name for itself wherever it went, but it also spread the fame of Brackenridge for miles around. There are many reasons to which might be attributed the success of the (lice Club this year. The greatest of these is .Miss Myrtle Inches who took the raw material in the form of undeveloped talent and worked it into an excellent chorus. The Boys’ Glee Club has been very busy this year, participating in all of the school activities that it possibly could. The operetta, “Behind the Front’’, which was presented by the Girls’ Glee Club probably would have failed had it not been for the wholehearted cooperation of the boys. Later in the year when 1 he San Antonio Teachers’ Council gave their operetta, “The Drum-Major”, the Boys’ Glee Club stepped in and filled the vacancies in the east, due to the scarcity of male songsters among the teachers of San Antonio. Our famous Boys’ Quartet that participated in many of this year’s entertainments was selected from the Boys’ Glee Club. 88 The Linotype Department Brackenridge claims the distinction of being the first high school in the United States to offer a course in linotype and printing. George W. Brackenridge, our beloved patron, donated the funds for the purchase of the larger linotype machine. The Mergenthalcr Linotype Company loaned the school the other machine. This completed the equipment for our linotype department, but the school board wishing to add a course of printing, purchased a job press, paper cutter, foundry type, etc. Last year the school itself purchased a $3,000 cylinder press and at the present time we have one of the best equippd school printshops in the country. During the school year the students of this department print a weekly school paper. All of the tickets, programs, stationery, etc., are also printed there. It is to be hoped that sometime in the near future Brackenrdige will be able to send out with every graduating class at least a dozen expert printers and linotype operators. 90 I s Domestic Science Department Our domestic science department endeavors to instil in the girls of Brackenrldge the principles of economy and good management in cooking and sewing. This year there were more girls enrolled than could be taken care of. The majority of those enrolled were girls interested in perfecting themselves in the art of sewing and cooking. In viewing the sewing department we must first take into consideration how this course is arranged. The classes are planned to show the girls the importance of good taste in dressing. This idea is adhered to through out the sewing course. As the girls work through the regular sewing curriculum, they take up the study of textiles and other relative subjects. This year the sewing department won third place in the State Sewing Contest held at Houston. This was accomplished by the untiring efforts of the teachers and the pupils. Our cooking department not only gives the girls practical but also theoretical work. A class in cooking gives at least two luncheons a term; in this way the girls are trained to take up the work of the cafeteria. Having completed cooking one and two the prospective cook takes up cafeteria which in turn is followed by a course on diets. The student who has completed the entire domestic science course in Bracken-ridge is more capable than the average person in all the matters pertaining to these subjects. 9 3 The Public Speaking Department When the graduates of Brackenridge have taken their places in the world, we will see that many of those who have arisen to the highest positions, studied public speaking while in high school. Public speaking not only develops the self assurance and poise which every modern American should possess, but also accomplishes for the individual what no other training could accomplish. It enables him to express his thoughts to others in the clear, concise speech essential to perfect understanding. “A closed mouth utters no foolish word , but neither does it utter a sensible one which might chance to be of service to mankind. Brackenridge possesses a large public speaking department which, under the efficient supervision of Miss Jeston Dickey, is rapidly winning distinction. Although it has been in existence only two years, it has succeeded in bringing many honors to Brackenridge, among which are the state debate and declamation cups. Whenever success has been attained in oratory or debate this subject has usually played an important part, but it has also helped our students in other ways. It has given a broader medium of expression to those who specialize in literature, and has developed an appreciation of good English which is invaluable to anyone. As preparatory training for those who contemplate law for their professions, it has no equal among the Courses of high school. Both teachers and pupils are awakening to the realization of its importance, and it is very probable that, in the near future, public speaking will become a requisite course in the curriculum of Brackenridge. 9 4 Interscholastic Contestants Brackenridge Interscholastic contestants have completed another successful year, and although some were eliminated, Brackenridge has every right to feel proud of her record. Raymond Gerhardt and Julius Nayfach, Brackenridge’s boy debaters, succeeded in getting to Austin and came back with the State Championship, and another silver cup for Brackenridge trophy case. Loraine Ford and Hedwig Sopp, girl debaters, and Mavis Scott and Russel Berkley, declaimers, lost to Main by a close decision, while Harold Sandel, speller, tied with Main. Walter Barnes, Brackenridge essayist, was defeated by John Kennedy of Main Avenue who won third place at the national meet of Harvard. Brackenridge will feel the loss of these active supporters, and hopes that next year’s contestents will at least equal their enviable record. 9b l'he Parent-Teacher’s Association The Brackenridge High School Parent-Teachers Association has just completed its fourth year. While the per centage of the school patrons who are affiliated with the association is small, the members are very earnest and much good has been accomplished. We hope to enlarge its membership next year and to broaden its scope of work. During the past year we took charge of the cafeteria twice; the proceeds from the first day’s sales were applied to the scholarship fund, and those of the second day to the Teachers’ Club House Fund. We assisted the San Antonio Council of Mothers in raising its convention fund and contributed to the Free I)en tal Clinic fund. At both the February and June commencements we presented our usual prizes to the girl who wore the prettiest and most appropriate dress costing less than ten dollars, and to the girl who wore the prettiest and most appropriate dress made by herself. Through our Marshall Johnston Fund we have aided students in high school. But. believing also in higher education, we have presented, each year a scholarship of two hundred dollars to any Texas school. We are gratified that, with only one exception, our students are still studying for degrees. During the past year the Association presented Mr. Marshall Johnston and Mrs. J. P. Benkendorfer with life memberships in the Texas Congress of Mothers. Perhaps our greatest effort has been to bring to pass a better understanding between parents and teachers; but during the coming year we also hope to get in closer touch with the student body. The officers for 1922-23 are; Mrs. Edward Barchers, President Mrs. Gus Delph, First Vice President Mrs. M. M. Goldman, Second Vice President Mrs. A. G. Rips, Third Via President Mrs. W. E. Henderson. Recording Secretary Mrs. W. E. Antes, Corresponding Secretary Mrs. R. L. Edwards. Treasurer 90 The second term of this year brought out two organizations which we hope will become permanent institutions in Bracken ridge. Under the able leadership of Miss Johnson the two civics classes organized into separate groups and each elected officers for the rest of the term. Their aim was to arouse interest in civic problems through competition between the two classes. A good start has been made and it is hoped that next year will find these two organizations stronger than ever. 97 98 99 Company A OFFICERS Captain First Lieut E. COLLINS Second Lieut W.

That other schools steered clear of us is shown by the fact that several of them cancelled their games. Coach Kilgore was forced to secure games out of high school circles in order to keep the men in condition. The Baylor Cubs, a team made up of varsity ineligibles, was the first out of town team played. They defeated us 56 to 7. Our next out of town game was with the Rice Institute Freshmen at Houston. This team was made up of some of the best high school men in the south. Just ten days previously they had handed Terrell School of Dallas its first defeat in ten years. Our men went on the field determined to avenge their defeat at Waco. We played Rice off their feet for three periods, keeping the ball in their territory most of the time. Their advantage in weight began to tell; and in the fourth quarter they put over a touchdown, the only score of the game. Rice’s Varsity Coach, an All American on Walter Camp’s team of 1916, paid us the highest compliment possible. He said ours was the best high school team he had ever seen. Our next game was with Main Avenue on November 11. One of the largest crowds ever assembled in League Park witnessed the game. Every seat was filled and hundreds were forced to stand. The game was called promptly at 3:30. Capt. Whitney won the toss and chose to receive. Main defended the south goal. Brackenridge lined up amid the storm of cheers that continued for several minutes. The whistle blew, starting San Antonio’s classic sporting event of the year. The teams battled on even terms for the first quarter. In the third quarter Rathburn of Main Avenue slipped through our defense and ran 33 yards for a touchdown, the only score ever registered against Brackenridge by a Main Avenue man. Gunn kicked goal. Brackepridge came back fighting in the second half, and put over a touchdown, using a beautiful pass of 35 yards, Witney to Williams. Williams kicked goal. Score 7 all. Main chose to receive and was forced to kick after three tries. Sowell let the ball roll over, and it was put in play on the twenty yard line. Here Brackenridge started on a march toward victory, taking the ball right down the field, making seven consecutive first downs. With the ball in our possession on the 9 yard line and first down. Coach Clark believing it better to be “a live coward than a beaten hero”, called his team off the field, using as his excuse the crowd on the other end of the field. The public demanded a return game but conflicting schedules kept the teams apart. Brackenridge journeyed to Yorktowm on Thanksgiving day and administered a 63 to 0 defeat to the high school team of that thriving little city. This was our last game and the boys distinguished themselves by closing the season undefeated. 127 JACK WILLIAMS Jack is undoubtedly the best all round athlete in B. H. S. He was not only an excellent half back but was also the mainstay of the whole team. Jack could always be counted on for a gain any time thru any position. He was a star in more than one game. His sensational end runs and his ability to find the hole put him in a class by himself as a broken field runner. EVERETT JOHNSON, Capt.Elect. “Punk” is a deadly tackier, and many are the men who took time out after “Punk” stopped a play. “Punk” deserves the coveted position as captain next year, and we are sure he’ll lead the Purple and White to another championship. He is above the average high school man on the gridiron. ALVAH KING “Caesar” played well at tackle, but this being his first year at football, he did not get in many games. However his fighting spirit never waned. Watch him go next year. 128 HEWLETT KUSSEI. Russel was a whirlwind in our line on both offense and defense. He was in every play from start to finish. Russel was the only man on our team who never had an “off day and who always got his man. We regret that the June Class takes such an athlete away. LAWRENCE URBAN Urban played well at tackle and was especially good on the defense. He will be with us in 1923 and his position will be a mainstay of the team. LUETZELER BASS “Dutch”, the lightest man on the team, played well ai end. He was fast and always got his opponent. He could also take a pass in the hottest of aerial attack. l 29 CECIL BURNETT Burnett was a Rood lineman and played throughout the season at center. He passed the ball well and his punting was sensational. He was a good tackier and fighter. LEONARD McCARTY McCarty, playing left half, injured his ankle in the first part of the season and was unable to play practically all the year. Mac is a good back field man. and chances are good for him next year. STANLEY ROTHMAN “Tator” came to us from St. Mary's College, but why they let him go we never could understand. He started the season at left end, but was later shifted to half-back. This fleet-footed lad was especially good for long end runs and for returning punts. His splendid work against Yorktown will long be remembered. His place will be hard to fill next year. JACK TOLAR Jack, although a new man. with the careful and excellent coaching of Kilgore, developed into an All City Guard. Jack was not only an All City Guard but also a bulwark of defense in every play of the game. He will be a source of strength to the team next year. WESLEY SPENCER HUBERT SPEED Speed, on account of injuries sustained in the early part of the season, was kept on the sidelines in most of our games. However he played on November 11 against our old rival. Main. He got away time and time again, carrying the ball into Main’s territory. Little more need be said about this half-back except that he can’t be stopped. This is Speed’s last year, and “Old Brackenridge’’ will miss him very much. HENRY SOWELL Wesley, another new man to fight for the Purple and White, always filled his position at guard in the hottest of battles. He tackled hard and low, and was always where the crowd was the thickest. We are sorry he leaves us this June. RAYMOND McCARTY “Shorty”, after holding out and seeing our need for good ends, came to our rescue. He held down the right wing against all teams. His work against Main was excellent. “Shorty” was also good on pulling down passes and breaking up interference. “Shorty”, on end next year, means victory. Sowell at full back was responsible for our strength in the line. Hank always had more fight than any other man on the squad. His playing against Austin was great. He backed up the line well and his driving power on line bucks could not be equaled. MARVIN HOWELL This was Marvin’s second year with B. H. S. He was another All City Guard and proved superior to all he went against. Quarterback Whitney could always rely on Howell to make a hole. BASKET BALL Top How:—Hill, Carver, Bass, Captain, Newman, McCarty. Bottom How:—Englebert, Russel. Irby, Williams. Whitney. CAPTAIN ROBERT BASS, Forward “Bob” is one of the surest goal makers in the state, and whenever a foul was called on the opponents, he was sure to score. Consequently, during the season he succeeded in ringing nearly a third of the baskets for the Purple and White. “Bob” was in the game from start to finish, and proved to be a great leader. 13 1 tamcL( i Basket Ball The basket hall team this year met with only one defeat, and that was at the hands of the fast Polytechnic School of Fort Worth, 14 to 13. Coach Englebert again proved his ability to get the best out of his men. He coached and guided the team to the city, district, and bi-district championship for the second consecutive year, and made a strong bid for the state title. Our team outclassed everyone it met, and even out played the only team that defeated us, Polytechnic. Three times wo met and defeated our ancient rival.

Last year Coach Englebert’s team was “runner-up” for State Championship. This year our boys went to Austin again. JACK WILLIAMS, Guard Jack is fond of playing, basket ball as well as football and baseball. This man deserves our praise not only as a hard working guard on our basket ball team but also as a reliable student and the only four letter man in Brackenridge. His ability has been a strong asset to the team. JAKE HILL, Forward Hill was a new man, but wKh the excellent coaching of Englebert he started toward the regulars. He played good basket ball and had lots of fighting spirit. TOMMIE DAGGET, Forward Tommie, although slightly abbreviated. was undoubtedly the best on throwing goals. He ran his team mates a hot race for their positions. He substituted in several games in which he did good work. His playing at San Marcos for district title was the sensation of the day. 133 ARTHUR WHITNEY, Forward Pinkey , as usual, gels the credit for being the hardest trainer on the team. Throughout the season he played first class basket ball. His speed and accuracy accounted for many goals. The Bass. Irby, and Whitney trio was a scoring machine which gave the guards at state meet a real “scrap'’. Whitney will be with us in '23. HEWLETT RUSSEL, Center Russel was a whirlwind at center. His work is responsible for our splendid record of ’21. He always had fight and “pep”, and put life into his team mates. His position is going to be hard to fill next year. WILLIAM IRBY, Guard “Red” is an out-of-state product, coming to us from Mississippi. His position was guard but many times the opponents classed him as forward, for it was a common thing to see him dribble the ball the entire length of the field and make a basket. As a guard there is no better man to be found, and we are depending on him for next year. TOM CARVER, Guard Carver hurt his arm in the early practise of the season and was kept off the field for nearly three weeks. In spite of this misfortune he came back and made a splendid showing at guard. Carver always played rings around his opponent. His work at San Marcos will never be forgotten by those who saw him play. He will be a great asset to the team next year. 134 TRACK Williams, Captain, Irby, Johnston, Whitney, Scheh, Brasselton, Urban, Russell, Bass, Collins, Clark. JACK WILLIAMS, Captain Jack is a born fighter V(10 never says quit. He broke all records for the 4-10 yard dash, which is considered the most killing of all races, besides being a consistent point winner in the mile. 135 Track Bracken ridge again came up to expectations and finished another successful year on the cinder path. In the first meet of the season we met our ancient and feudal enemy, Main Avenue. When the smoke and cinders of battle finally-cleared, it was found that Brackenridge had a margin of two points which gave her the undisputed title of “City Champions”. The next meet was the district meet at San Marcos. We felt confident of success in this contest, but fate was not so kind; for a dark horse, in the guise of Lockhart, came forth and snatched victory from our grasp. Later we again met Main Avenue at the Rotary Club meet and were defeated by a close margin. This was due largely to the fact that Hewlett Russell, our star mile runner, was out on account of sickness. Under the direction of Coach L. D. Williams, the team was developed into an efficient machine. The dashes were well taken care of by ('apt. Williams, and Wilson, Clark, and Johnson; while “E” Collins and Braselton loped away with the hurdles with ease, and the mile run always belonged to Russell. In the field events McPherson and Braselton came out strong in the high jump, Lawrence Urbin in the discus throw and shot put, and the unbeatable trio of Hass, Schell, and Jones always “brought home the bacon” in the pole vault Whitney and Beal were also strong defenders of Brackenridge track laurels. Too much credit cannot be given Coach Williams for his untiring efforts in bringing out the individuals and welding them into a strong team. We hope that next year will see Coach Williams with us again with that same determination to put out a winning team for Brackenridge. 1 36 EDWARD COLLINS Ed” may be a little short but he sure flies over those hurdles as well as through his studies. “DUTCH” BASS You ought to see this man vault Height, 10 ft. 4 inches. Some sprinter, too. HEWLETT RUSSEL Russel was a race horse on the mile. EVERETT JOHNSON Punk” is an excellent sprinter, covering the century in 10-3 5 seconds, and the 220 in 23 flat. 137 BASEBALL Top Row:—Tolle. Sample, Rodriguez, Scheh, Davis, Mann. Itottom Row: — Dagget. Whitney. Williams, Captain, Irby, Howie. JACK WILLIAMS, Captain Baseball is another one of Jack’s strong points. To say that he is a good outfielder and a heavy hitter is to put it lightly. The fact that he is captain of a Bracken ridge team is strong enough recommendation for anyone. Baseball Coach Williams again put out one of the best academic teams in the state. At the end of the 1921 season all looked dark for us, but despite the loss of several stars Coach Williams put out a winner. We lost only two schedule games and those to a big League pitcher. Arthur Seydler of West Texas Military College, who stepped from academic class into a New York Giant uniform. Owing to the excellent pitching of Tolar, Tolle, and IIowlc, our opponents in twelve games earned only eight runs. This record has never been equaled in the history of Brackenridge High, and we are doubtful if any high school can boast of such a record. We are justly proud of the team and the victories it won for old Brackenridge. SCHEDULE AND RESULTS Brackenridge................. 5....Brooks Field . Brackenridge.................4....Brooks Field .

WILLIAM IRBY “Red” held the hot corner down exceptionally well and will occupy third next year. LEONARD McCARTY McCarty played second base practically all season and filled the place well. RALPH SAMPLE Ralph held down first base from start to finish. He’s good, thaf’s all. ADOLPH SCHEH “Dutch” was a good catcher and put lots of pep in the team. JACK TOLAR Jack pitched good baseball all season and made several shut outs. His work on the mound was responsible for a number of our victories. CHARLEY DAVIS “Red” got into the line-up a little late, but made good in center field. His two doubles off Seydler of West Texas, put him up in the hall of fame. ART! RODRIGUEZ Rodriguez worked on the mound at the first of the year but was later sent to the outfield. His hitting this year was good. CLIFFORD TOLLE Tolle was kept on the bench nearly all season, but Coach Williams turned things over to him against St. Anthony. His work was even more than sensational; he struck out ten men and allowed only four scattered hits. Watch him go next year. JEFF MANN Jeff played the utility role well. He was faithful to the last, never missing practice. He bids fair to replace Scheh in good style next year. A. J. HOWLE “Blonde” has the makings of a good twirier. He’ll be with us next year. We expect big things too. 1 40 141 pufch Jackie Pihkey Punk, Jlrfh V.Y L S, H k De UV 14 2 B. H. S.

On the site where Bracken ridge now stands, there once rose an imposing mediaeval eastle which greatly resembles Ihe building we now see. In that time, the walls were built of huge gray blocks of stone, with enormous buttresses and numerous turrets erected at intervals along the entire structure. Small balconies took the place of fire-escapes, and a deep moat full of water surrounded the building. The great hall of the castle occupied the site of our present auditorium, and the small structure we know as the furnace room was a gloomy dungeon vault with a narrow tower attached to its southern side. The interior of the castle was exactly as we see it today, except for the fact that the corridors were of great height with huge columns and tiled floors. On the ground floor were the servants’ quarters and the extensive castle ball-room. The chamber most frequented was a small turret room in the left wing of the building (somewhere in the vicinity of the present “Times” Office;. It was a small, square room, with three windows facing south towards a pleasant river scene. Climbing roses grew around the exterior of the turret, and a door led to a tiny balcony between the parapet and turret walls. This small chamber seemed strangely to attract all lovers. Perhaps it was its picturesquesness, or its coziness, or the amusing talk of the parrot imprisoned in its gilded cage, that brought them there. The real source of attraction, however, will never be known. As the personages who figure in this story are no longer here to corroborate or deny it, the author’s word will have to be accepted. 165 ECNAMOR A play in four acts by Polly CHARACTERS Kill of Bee-aieh-es King of May no Prince Gilfud, son of King of Bee-aich-es Princess Mallorie, daughter of King of Mayne.

SCENE I Scene : A room in the palace of the King of Bee-aich-es. Time: Nighttime. Characters: King of Bee-aich-es, King of Mayne, Prince Gilfud, servants, and pages. (Enter bath kings engaged in earnest discussion, followed by attendants. The host is elegantly robed in purple velvet trimmed with white fur, while his guest is arrayed in a similar costume of scarlet and white. They seal themselves, and two pages stand rigidly at the sides. Other attendants are dismissed.) King of 11. Dost think my plan sounds promising? King of M. (Chews edge of robe pensively.) ’Tis hard to tell. Our kingdoms have been rivals for so long that I fear me it will take more than the marriage of your son to my daughter to bring them to friendly terms. Still— King of It. Tush! ’Tis but their foolish ideas that keep them thus separated. This step once taken, all past quarrels will be forgotten. I would all war were done away with! 1 60 King of M. Thy argument is convincing, yet it grieveth me at heart to force my daughter to the match. But ’tis far better that she marry against her will than that she lose her claim to royalty by becoming the wife of a paltry nobleman. King of B. Ah! Then she loves anotherf I wot not of that difficulty. My son has thus far lost his heart to no one, and I have no fear of his refusing my plan. King of M. Aye, the foolish maid hath given her love to but a petty courtier. Ggad! 1 ’ll have him banished and force her to the marriage of my choice, or she shall rue it. (Enter Prince Gilfud, escorted by his train, lie walks up to the two monarchs, bends down on one knee, then rises, and remains standing. He dismisses his attendants with a sweep of his hand.) King of It. Welcome, my son, we were but now discussing a matter of importance to thee. Prince G. So I was told by the messenger thou didst send to my castle. You spoke of a proposal both you worthy sires would have me accept. I hastened hither to— King of M. ’Tis but this: thy father and I, being weary of the many wars our subjects have aye waged, would come to peaceful terms. By uniting the heirs to the thrones, wc hope to bring about reconciliation between our warring peoples. There shall be feasting and rejoicing throughout both kingdoms, and— Prince G. Feasting and rejoicing! And prithee, may 1 be allowed a word on the subject? (He walks up and down angrily.) I have never in my life laid eyes on the maiden whom you would have me wed, and mayhap if I had— King of B. (Bringing down his fist on the arm of his chair.) Stop thy thoughtless answer lest regret shall overcome thee later! Thou shalt conform to my wishes in this matter, or lose thy throne. Prince G. (Despairingly.) Aw, dry up! King of B. Cut not my speech in twain! Aye, I spoke exactly what I meant. My throne should in that case be willed to my ward, the Lady Mawtha, whose claim is nearly as strong as thine own. Prince G. The Lady Mawtha—’Tis hard to recollect—Ah! 1 have it now! She is the girl of whom I’ve heard thee speak, the one away at Seguin studying art; I knew not of her close relationship to thee. But be it howe’er it may, I shall not wed a maiden who has not my affection. (He walks away from the two kings during this speech, and his eye chances to alight on a picture hanging on the wedl. It is the portrait of a charming girl in full court dress. The prince stops short and looks at it attentively, then speaks without turning.) Is this the Princess Mallorie? 187 King of B. ’Tis none other. Is she not beautiful? (Aside to King of Mayne.) ’'I'is for the best. I have a plot to bring about the desired results. I will dismiss him iix order to confer with ye. Tis the only way out of this difficulty. (Aloud to Prince.) Meditate seriously upon that which I have told thee, and remember the penalty for disobedience. Go. now; I shall inform thee later of the steps I mean to take. Prince G. (Glancing back at picture). Though the Princess Mallorie is beautiful indeed, she doth not strike me as one whom I could love. I have made my decision. Be the penalty what it may, I refuse to carry out thy wishes. (He bows, and hastens angrily out of the room, muttering under his breath.) Grouchy old cuss! (Father makes movement as if to stop him, then thinks belter of it. He dismisses both pages.) King of M. What meantest thou by telling him that yonder—? King of B. 1 know the youth. He is headstrong and restraint but jars upon him. I will dispatch a messenger to Lady Mawtha and Duke Sandal, her betrothed, to come here at once. They will both enter readily into my plot. King of M. I begin to see thy meaning. A clever thought, come at the right moment to save us in our plight. Thinkest thou he’ll like her if— King of B. Worry not thy head concerning that. I’m sure on’t. ’Twas only my commands that angered him. We’ll give them both a month, spent at his castle of Ridgenbraek in the company of other young persons betrothed to each other, in which to fall in love. If at the end of this time, what we now long for has come to pass, the wedding of all the young couples shall take place on the same night as that of the royal pair. Otherwise, my son shall lose his kingdom and— King of M. And my daughter shall be imprisoned lest her foolish lover come secretly to steal her from my home. King of B. In the meantime we shall make preparations for the invitation of those of the nobility who are to help in the furtherance of our plan. (Kings for servant.) (Curtain) ACT II. SCENE I Scene: The dining hall of the castle of Ridgenbraek, owned by Prince Gilfud. Time: Two weeks later. Characters: All guests invited by the King, Prince Gilfud, Princess Mallorie, Prior Atwell the Abbot of Whitley, and Alvira. (As curtain rises, the meed is about over. Guests are arranged in couples around the table.) Prince G. (liaising wine to lips). I drink to your welcome, my guests, for, though you came here at another’s bidding, and are to help me in a cause unpleasant to her highness, the Princess Mallorie— I OB Princess M. And to yourself, you might well add, my lord. Prince G. {Blushing). Yet. my good people. 1 am pleased to have ye here. This month there shall be merrymaking, but— Princess M. Aye! But when it’s over, imprisionment stares me in the face! Sir Raymond. Sorrow not, fair Princess; ’twould take two stony hearts indeed to keep from loving both my liege, and such a charming lady as thou! Besides thy father may relent, and— Lady Myrtle. Pray wait not another month, Sir Raymond, but propose to her yourself! 1 heard thee say not long ago that the Prince was a stubborn-headed idiot for not doing so at once! Sir Raymond. (Lifting and shaking hath hands in anger)—Oh! You prevaricator! Prince G. Ha! Ha! We’ve heard your reputation for proposals, Sir Raymond, and as for your compliment— Lady Mawlha. Quarrel not over so slight a matter! Let Fate shape the course of events. I feel weary and would fain rest myself. (Turning to Prince). Have 1 my liege’s leave to go? (Prince hows. Motioning to Alvira) Conte. (Exit Lady M.) Sir Harold. It waxeth late. I move we all retire. (Guests rises and walk out slowly). Prince (1. Aye, tomorrow will begin our new experiment. (Exeunt all) (Curtain) ACT II, SCENE II Scene: Bedroom of Lady Mawtha. Time: Two hours later. Characters: Lady Mawtha and Alvira. (Lady M. is writing at a small table. She has laid aside several finished notes. Two wax candles give light. Alvira is seated on a foot stool near her.) Lady M. (Laying down her pen). The last one is done. Would I could have made another do this service for me. but thou art too young, and I could trust no other except mayhap Lord Harold, and yet—I’d rather keep it |uiet. Alvira. ’Twill not be known from me! Have I not always kept thy secrets faithfully, my lady? Lady M. True, Alvira, and though but a child, thou showest unusual wisdom and prudence. A fortnight from now T shall command thee to distribute these notes among the different nobleman who are here. Then panic will spread among them. Alvira. And what may be the contents of the notes? 1 G9 Lady M. I hereby hint to every man, that his fair lady is fallinj; in love with the Prince. We are well acquainted with his inconstancy, and it will seem probable to them. Alvira. Ah! Thy plan is to make each man jealous of the Prince and thus guard his lady from falling in love with his Highness? Lady M. Thou’st guessed aright. For in this manner Prince Gilfud will feel the need to find a maiden for himself, and as there is none other than the Princess— Alvira. Hut he dislikes her! It seems the more to me as if he liked your ladyship far better! Lady M. llush! Speak not a word of thy opinions or my instructions within hearing of another. Lay these safely away in my cabinet and lock it; here is the key, and pull the bell rope on the way out. (Exit Alvira) (Curtain) ACT III. SCENE I Scene: The Turret Room of the Castle of Ridgenbrack. Time: A fortnight later. Characters: Prince G., Princess M., Guests, Alvira. (Enter Alvira cautiously looking around; she is startled by a fluttering of the wings of a caged parrot.) Alvira. (Gasping) ’Tis but that silly Polly that has scared me so! ’Tis good for nothing hut to prattle senselessly. (Looking around) But I must hide me; my mistress bid me do so and report the conversation which I might chance to overhear. I did distribute the notes but yestereve and she’s hoping for developments. (Approaching footsteps are heard). Alvira. (Running outside to small balcony between parapet and turret nails where she is hidden from sight.) But here comes someone! I must hide quickly and keep myself from laughing at their conversation, which will he aye ridiculous in my eyes. (Exit) (Enter Prince G. and Princess M. They look at each other in a bored manner and stare listlessly out of the window without speaking for a few moments; Parrot also looks pensive.) 1 60 Princess M. (Without turning) ’Tis useless! Urged, however we may he, we can better afford to suffer than to marry without love. ’Tis noble of thee to offer to make the sacrifice if but to save me from imprisonment, but I would rather languish in yonder tower (Pointing to tower) than have it so. Besides. I love another— Parrot. Ark! Prince. So let it be then. If thou art willing to suffer the penalty of disobedience, far be it from me to give in! Parrot. Ark! Pieces of determination! Prince (1.: Aw, dry up, you bird! (Enter Page) (Addressing Princes) Thy carriage awaits without, my lady. Princess M. My lord, I fain would drive through the country in order to refresh my spirit. Lord Harold shall accompany me. Au revoir! (Prince bows. Exit Princess). Prince. My heart rejoices at her refusal, I trembled least she should accept! Though no one is aware of it, every day I grow more fond of my father’s ward, the Lady Mawtha. Would it were she I were being forced to wed! Jleie she comes now. I cannot help but woo her! (Enter Lady Mawtha engrossed in a piece of embroidery.) Prince. (Taking off his hat and making a grand bow, the plumes sweeping the floor.) Good morrow, my sweet lady! Already at work? Lady M. Why, Cousin Gilfud! Thou art alone? Where is the Princess Mallorie ? Prince. Why, Lady Mawtha! Thou knowest well 1 love her not. ’Tis only thee— Parrot. Ark! Romance! (Lady M. pricks Prince with her needle.) Prince. (Holding his arm.) Ouch! How could’st thou? I but spoke the truth! Would’st thou have me lie? Lady M. Speak not mush to me! Even yonder brainless Polly mocks us! I must not linger here, for I cannot work if thou makest silly speeches. Prince. I meant to tell thee something, but since thou refusest to hear it, I shall send thee a note with my proposal. If thou accept it. we shall surprise our guests on the fifteenth, when this eventful month expires. I.euly M. (Walking out haughtily.) Most probably 1 shall refuse your offer, be it whate’er it may, for thou lackest in brains, Cousin Gilfud. (Exit Lady M. Prince follows her .sorrowfully.) Parrot. Ark! Both gone! (Enter, Sir Raymond and Lady Myrtle. Sir It. wears cap cocked on erne side, and limps affectedly.) 101 Sir It. What’s this I heah? That ‘Jelly Bean’ of a Prince isn’t content with his Princess but he must come and beat my time with thee? Parrot. (Ruffling its feathers.) Ark! Danger! Sir R. Silence out of you! You insignificant Polly! Lady M. Thy charge is false! but e’en if thou speak the truth, the Prince and I have a right to fall in love if we so please to do! Am I not right ? Parrot. Ark! I heard him propose to the Princess. Sir R. Oh, you prevaricatah! Ijady M. And and you accuse me of being false! Parrot. Ark! Tears! Tears! Sir R. Oof! (Shaking his fist near the parrot’s cage.) Do you want me to annihilate you? Parrot. Ark! Awk! (Rites his finger.) Sir It. (Putting injured finger in his mouth.) I’ll wring your neck! You empty-headed Polly! Lady M. I shall leave since thou seemest more engaged in quarreling with that parrot than in talking to me. (Exit Lady Myrtle.) Sir It. (Following her.) Jelly beanish Prince, or no jelly beanish Prince, meddlesome Polly or no meddlesome Polly, she shall be mine for shuah! She’s a pippin! (Exit Sir Raymond.) Alvira. (From hiding place.) Ha! Ha! I’m glad the polly bit him; he deserves it. Conceited little Shrimp! But here come two other lovers. (Enter Lord Walter and Lady Lauds.) Lo-rd IV’. But listen, Lady Lawis, I mind not his attention to thee, only— Lady L. (Stamping her foot.) Only what? Thou would’st have me look at no other man than thee? Parrot. Mush! Mush! Lord IT. (To parrot.) Hush! You insect! (To Inidy L.) No; not that, but still— Lady L. (Impatiently.) Thou speakest inriddles which I fail to understand! However, in order to please thee. I shall in future refuse all attentions from his Highness, and— Alvira.. (Outside) Attention from highness indeed! She knoweth well he never even looks at her! Lady L. (Looking around.) Did’st hear something? Lord It'. It was only that dried up, chewed up. piece of a parrot making some sarcastic remark! Lady L. I fear some one has heard this silly talk. And although I care not— Lord VVr. If they know of our love for each other? Parrot. Mush! Mush! 1 02 Lady L. That parrot is a pill, in my opinion! I see not why they keep it in the castle! Lord- W. What? That thing? Listen not to its foolish chatter, it’s not responsible for its speech. Let us leave, so as to rid ourselves of its disgusting sarcasm! (Shakes fist at jxirrot.) Decayed particle of a mustard seed! 1 hope you choke! Parrot. Go, Walrus! (Exeunt both.) (Enter Count Harry and Lady Marian.) Count II. What! Nobody here? Usually we find two or three couples enjoying the scenery. Lady M. Thou did’st tell me, they had’st a matter to (|uestion me about? Parrot. Ark? Romance again! Count II. Who wound you up. anywav, you parrot? Parrot. Get out!! Lady M. That bird gives himself more importance than the Prince himself! Let us depart to a place where we can talk without interference. Parrot. Ark! Only royalty allowed up here! Count II. 1 shall speak to Basil, the jailer, about this bird and have it taken out. I’d like to wring its neck myself, but that would show intimacy! (Exeunt both.) Alvira. The matter that he wishes to speak of must be the same that worries the otbei's. My mistress will indeed be satisfied with these conversations. (Enter Prior Atwell, finyeriny his beads.) Parrot. Ark! Sanctity! Prior A. What sayest thou, my pretty green bird? (Enter Basil, the jailer.) Basil. Your Worship, Sir Raymond the Gay Hearted, as well as Count Harry the Wise, did bid me take out this bird and wring its neck. Prior A. Forbear! This is the property of the King, not of the Prince. He is quite fond of it, and would have thee beheaded ere a feather of yon green head be touched! Parrot. Ark! I fear not those two petty nobles; they cannot make me suffah! Basil. Strange that any one should be fond of so garrulous a beast! Prior A. The reason the King likes it, is because it brought about a happy marriage for himself, as well as for his father. It is his wish that his son may also come under the influence of this bird of omen! I mind not its senseless prattle, for many of the couples I have wed, were made to fall in love by this same bird. It seems endowed with a strang? power. Come, spare its head. (Exeunt both.) Alvira. I like the polly also. ’Tis due to her perhaps that the Prince is in love with my mistress. 163 Parrot. Kra! Am I not a genius? (Enter Lady Leonora followed by Count Kenneth.) Count K. Hello, Polly! Did’st thou hear the Prince propose to my lady? Parrot. Nay. would that I had! Count K. The answer of the parrot agrees with thine own. I believe thee, and I love thee more than ever! Parrot. Ark! Ark! Pieces of Lovers’ Lane! Lady L. Thou did’st wait until that parrot proved I spoke the truth. Count K. Aw, forget it! Did’st ever hear of the man who had a wooden chest ? Lady L. (Walking out). The staleness of thy jokes provokes my anger. Count K. (Follows her). Stale? Here’s riddle for thee! Know’est thou the difference between stale and hale? (Exeunt laughing.) Alvira. I hear two others approaching. I’m growing weary of eaves-drop-ping! (Enter Lord Edward of Heart’s Burg and Lady Lee. They stand beneath the parrot’s cage.) Lady Lee. Thou knowest well I would love none other than thee, even though a kingdom hung upon it. Parrot. Mush! Lord E. (To peirrot). Muzzle thyself, thou egg! Who’s asking thv opinion ? (To Lady L.) I shall complain no more; I trust thee. But, as for the kingdom, thou’rt wrong. For if the Prince should marry thee, he would be disinherited, and therefore be Prince no longer. Parrot. Jealousy! Lord E. You mushroom, you! (Parrot overturns water-disli on Lord E’s head.) Lady L. Ha! Ha ! it serves thee right! (Exit, laughing.) Lord E. They shall rue it. (Exit drying his face with Ids hankerchief). Alvira. (Punning out). I shall now report to my mistress the successful effect of her notes of warning! (Exit Alvira.) (Curtain) ACT IV, SCENE I Scene. Ball room of castle of Ridgenbrack. Time. The night on which the given month expires. Characters. Both Kings, guests, servants. 164 (As curtain rises, guests are quickly talking in groups, waiting for the arrival of the Prince and Princess.) Lord Harold. The Royal Pair delays its coming! King of 11. Aye, I fear me they mean to give an unfavorable answer and would defer it as long as possible. King of M. Is the friar here, ready to perforin the matrimonial rites in case we should be so fortunate as to have any ? Lord Harold. Aye, Your Majesty, all is in readiness save the minds of both young people. (Enter Alvira, breathless. She bows hurriedly to Kings.) Alvira. My liege, my mistress, the Lady Mawtha Awn, bids me tell thee she has but now been wed to bis most Royal Highness, the Prince Gilfud! And— finests. (In chorus) Aww!!! Duke Harold. And I bid myself tell thee I was but this forenoon married to the Princess Mallorie!! Both Kings. Good! Our plan has worked out well! Guests. Hut how’s this? (Herald announces arrival of Prince, Princess, and Abbot.) (They enter and seat themselves about the thrones of the tiro monarclis.) Sir Raym md. In behalf of my companions, mcthinks I’m justified in asking for an explanation! King of M. Rise, Duke Harold, thou art well fitted to tell how thou earnest to wed the one whom they believe lo be my daughter. Duke Harold. ’Tis this way: Our sovereigns, knowing well the contrary nature of Prince Gilfud, knew that to force him to a marriage not to his liking would be impossible. They made the Prince believe that the portrait of the Lady Mawtha, now my wife, was that of yonder princess. Both maidens were let into the plot, and one was made to play the part of the other. With thy help and mine, all has turned out smoothly, so you see— Prince G. That I have been fooled into marrying the Princess, believing her to be the Lady Mawtha! But I regret it not. (Putting his arm around her). I— Sir Raymond. Let us depart! (Exeunt all.) (Curtain) 106 Polly s Senseless Prattle Name E. Hertzberg F. Reilly R. Gerhardt R.

The meaning; of those four letters is quite as indefinite as the reason for their choice, if not more so. In adopting this as the name of their sorority, the yound ladies must have been unduly influenced by what appeared to them as us mystical and romantic qualities, for they totally disregarded its harsh, unmusical sound, and awkward appearance. However, it affords plenty of scope for feminine ingenuity in devising new names, the meaning having already changed from “Five Nice Little Girls” to Five New Literary Geniuses”, thus accomplishing the transition from maidenly simplicity to intellectual superiority in one jump. But against this practical advantage lies the defect of its being liable to willful misinterpretation bv unsympathetic rivals such as the “Uplifters”. who, incorrectly, believe it to stand for “Five Nutty Looney Goofs.” The small small round thing above is one of the miniatures of the club champion which the girls wear on a ribbon as a protection against rheumatism, freckles, and the “Uplifters. The club sponsor, labeled Shrimp,” would probably be piqued if she were not given special mention, so it might be causually added that she was dropped from the club because of malfeasance, mendacity, and general misconduct. The Suffah! Suffah! Suffah! The society pictured above is as great in aspiration and accomplishment as in numbers. The originator, president, and sole member had but one purpose in mind when he organized this club; that was, to avenge the humilitations he suffered as a sponsor of the F. N. L. G. He spends much time in ineffectual attempts at retaliation but it is sincerely hoped, even by his enemies, that the futility of his designs will not discourage his young career in despotism. The Uplifters The name of this organization is grossly misleading, for it implies a group of people dedicated to the service of mankind for the reform and advancement of morals, social conditions, religion, etc. Nothing is more foreign to this bunch of misanthropical nihilists than such praiseworthy objectives. They are usually the instigators of all crimes occuring in the school or its environs. They are capable, if not actually guilty, of all heinous practices from arson to blackmail, inclusive; and the government, fearing their milignant power, and knowing the inability of the faculty and local police to cope with the alarming situation created by their activities, recently dispatched the state militia which, combined with the regular troops stationed in nearby cantonments, succeeded in temporarily quelling their nefarious operations. The original members are the four whose evil visages (dis)grace the top of the page and who, according to the newspapers, are wanted by the police.

All’s well that ends well. —by Polly. 177 THE JELLY BRAN Here we have the typical Jelly bean”. This particular one is a 1922 model with the latest stream-lined hood and high-powered head lights. His foot-wear is of the nonskid variety, guaranteed to grip a dance floor under the most severe stresses. He is equipped with the improved Cake-eating” carburetor which uses either Coco-cola or Out-of-sights without producing any carbon. It would be interesting to note his daily program. At about ten thirty he awakens, yawns, and glances at his wrist watch. Then he arises and makes a raid on the macaroons. Having breakfasted, he goes out for a morning drive. He lunches at some soft-drink stand or tea room; then returns to his afternoon recreation, which is calling up all the flappers he knows. He makes a light supper on a milk chocolate, and then goes to a dance. He retires at one thirty. This completes his daily program. THE FLAPPER This is the flapper as she appears. Flappers are very peculiar. They are never satisfied with their own appearance, and are always trying to change it. Even in the above picture, the flapper is not what she seems for the color of her hair is not permanent. It remains only as long as she wishes it to. The presence of ears can only be inferred from the large pendants, which are ear-rings. She likes to go to dances, where she may pursue her favorite game, the jellybean. The flapper that you now see, has completed a correspondence course in disguises and make-up. Her hunting apparatus consists of an over-grown vanity trunk, which she uses with deadly effect wiienever possible. 1 78 THE STUDIOUS GIRL This is the studious girl. Why is the girl studious? Because she does not wish to be ignorant. Why does she not wish to be ignorant? Because then she would have to be a school teacher. Why has she bobbed her hair? She is afraid that her neck could not carry the added weights of her hair and her brains. Does the girl get good grades? Yes. she does everything the teacher desires. What does she do for recreation? She reads something light like Macaulay’s History of England. What are those books she is sitting on? That is her daily reading matter. Tell me why she wears the big goggles? Those are horn-rimmed glasses. They are supposed to make her look profound. Why do her lips look so funny? She is trying to get a Boston accent. What is that behind her that looks like a target? We do not know. Ask the artist. The Grade Card Once upon a noontide dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, O’er many a quaint and curious figure, lower than I got before— While I worried, nearly napping, suddenly I dreamed of tapping, As of someone stoutly slapping, slapping ’yond the woodshed door. ” Tis my father on me tapping, tapping, ’yond the woodshed door— Only this and nothing more.” Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer. “Ah”, thought I. “Dear father, truly, you’ll that card see never-more. For when, as I was napping, dreamed how fiercely you’d be slapping. So well knowing you’d be tapping, tapping ’yond the woodshed door Then I threw into the river, threw that card, and nothing more, And shall show it—nevermore.” 179 “Gone Are The Days’’ MY PEN IT IS OF THEE The beautu of this verse cannot be fully appreciated unless it is chanted to the tune of “America.” My pen it is of thee Who squirts so inkily. Of thee I chant. Thou usedst to shine so bright. Hung ’round my neck so light; And now thou refuseth to write, Or won’t, or can’t. My mates on every side Well knew my joy and pride At owning thee. I love thy golden top And cried when thou didst drop, Lest in thy hasty flop Thou hadst marred thy head. Thou causedst me many a pang For cv ry bump and bang Thou didst receive. Thy top has gone to rust; Oft ink in thee doth crust; In one more week thou’ll bus;, I do believe. Ink drops float through the brscz? When thou b ginst to sneez' And woe is thine. Thy pen point has the grip, Thy filler has the tip. Thy tube has got the rip. Fountain Pen cf mine. Gone is my money now; It made ils farewell bow. Tho’ ’twas no bore. Yet if I cou'd again. So help me John, amen, F'l find myself a pen And write some more. THE ROW THAT ONCE The row that once in two-two-six The heat of battle told, Is absent now from two-two-six. And shows that fight is cold. So vanishes the Staff’s bright talk, So sport and play is o’er; And heads that once ducked low from chalk. Now feel its hits no more. No more on heads the books alight. And leave a place that swells; The play, alone, of rats at night its tale of ruin tells; Thin mischief now so seldom wakes: The only kick she gives Is when som° stude a ruling breaks To show that she still lives. —by Walrus. THE WORK IS DONE The work is done, and silence Falls on the annual room. As the warts fa’l off the p:ckles When the bushes cease to bloom. I sec the spots on the blackboard Where the ink its target missed; And a feeling of tears chokes up my throat Which I check by biting my fist; A feeling ef nausea and faintness, Which conus my days to mar; And resembles sorrow only. As a flivver resembles a car. Como, crack me on my dome, Or UDon me ink do pour; It shall soothe my restless long ng For the warlike days of yore. Then my heart shall be filled with gladness, And the flatness of my today Shall pick uo its mop like the janitors, And as grouchily c!uirp away. l 80 --at Hertzberg’s the Diamond House since 1878 — whatever the Occasion, the Correct Gifts will always be found in the fascinating stock of the Ifertzberg shop .... and priced most moderately, too!

Gain without risk! Reward without effort. Isn’t that what human nature is always looking for? But how seldom wt find it. Every individual must enjoy an income to exist. Every laborer must receive pay for his efforts. The wise man who saves some of this has a surplus. Surplus invested is capital”. 1,4 50,000 thrifty men and women from every walk in life have invested in the electric light and power industry. Their “capital” works hard. It furnishes the means for building dams and power houses and installing boilers, engines or turbines, and generators. It builds transmission systems and wires homes, factories, and office buildings. In a word, it works that you may have electric light and power. When capital works it must be paid fair wages, just as humans must be paid for their work. There is no such thing as Something for Nothing.” There are 14,000,000 unwired homes and several million farms without the advantages of electrical service. Many of these will require electric service within the next few years. In addition, there are 1,500,000 homes, 500,000 factories, 5,000 churches, 60.CC0 apartment buildings, 15,0(50 theatres, and 5,000 public schools to be built before the housing and industrial problems can begin to be solved. Naturally, these too must have electrical service. There is real work here for the capital already invested and for hundreds of millions of new capital. All of this must be paid fairly for its work in order that it may help the unemployment situation by paying humans fairly for their work. SAN ANTONIO PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY 1 84 Pabst Engraving Co.
