Doctor Rhodes’ broad scholarship and habit as a thinker have qualified him to formulate this text. If only the thirty-five thousand children in our schools could he made to think! To effect this result is Doctor Rhodes’ ideal and he is constantly devising wa ys and means to accomplish it. DOCTOR V. If. HARGIS President ok the San Antonio Board ok Education Dr. Hargis with his co-workers, Mr. Guy McFarland, Mrs. C. E. Hoff, Mr. Herbert Peairs. Mr. J. K. Baretta, Mrs. Eastburn and Mrs. Guerra, tided us over a dangerous crisis in our educational history by successfully sponsoring a two-million dollar bond issue. To this Board and to Doctor Jeremiah Rhodes is also due the credit of inaugurating the Junior High School in San Antonio. The student body of Bracken ridge High School, in behalf of the children of San Antonio, take this occasion to extend to Doctor Hargis and his co-workers their sincerest thanks and gratitude. 2 5 26 MARSHALL JOHNSTON Principal of Brackenridge High School To keep students within the proper hounds yet leave them free to express their individuality is assuredly the greatest gift that any principal or teacher can possess. That, however, is the gift that Our Chief possesses. He doesn't nag. He knows how to let us alone, yet he is always ready with his smile, his sympathy, and his help. Ami we know that he is going to stand unswervingly for what is right and fair. He is the big reason why Brackenridge is one of the greatest high schools in the country. All hail to our beloved Chief! MISS ORA .JOHNSON Vick-Principal Let’s stand a hundred per cent! That is Miss Johnson’s slogan for Brackenridge. And she gets it across because she is a hundred per cent herself. She seems to be tireless. Hundreds of us go to her for help and she somehow finds time for us all. She is democratic, and she is the embodiment of that school spiiit that makes Bracken-ridge so formidable to its opponents. Miss Johnson has given us of her life’s blood and she has done it with a sportsmanlike smile. We look at the smile and say with our lips. Three cheers for Miss Johnson and make it snappy! , but we know thut there is a deeper gratitude that we cannot express. 2 7 35 HEADS OF THE DEPARTMENTS MISS ALICE STONE English MISS ANNIE JARY History J. F. HOWARD Mathematics SB Bracken ridge High School has only the five regularly organized departments: English. History, Mathematics, Science and Commercial. This is due to the lack of sufficient funds, but with the passage of our two-million- dollar bond issue, we are planning to organize several other departments next year. These other departments are already qualified as to size and number of instructors. We are glad too, to announce that our art department, which was discontinued also for lack of funds, is to he reinstated next year. Brackenridge has sent out, in the past, some art students of whom she is justly proud, and we hope, in the future to regain our lost prestige.

Miss Ella Butler and Miss Lois . Ellett, who have contributed so unselfishly of their time and energy to the undertakings of the class, and toward solving many of the problems that daily arise in our school life. They have endeared themselves in the hearts of the entire class by their unselfish cooperation and their inexhaustible supply of patience and perseverence with which they have sponsored our many various activities. JUNE SPONSORS : 32 CLASS HISTORY Open with care the great book of life, Find leaves for history— Record there the joys and strife From the Class of ’23. Tell of the joy when summons came. The day to organize. Tell of the spirit which led to fame, Bound by friendships ties. Relate the request fora much needed play, How we gave the “Florist Shop”, And all you’d ask would gladly say, That it came out on the top. Then came the day of picnic fun With nature happy and free, We could eat and jump, swim or run, Whatever our mood might he. At last we hailed vacation time, A link in the golden chain, Of the days when our ways would together chime, At the dear old school again. Then back to school we came once more, Our minds were bright and keen; We worked quite hard, for, we had in store A party for Hallowe’en. 2 LA rciIAMA 33 ___ . CL.ASS HISTORY (Continued) Then came our jolly Christmas cheer, A tree so fine and tall, When Santa made his visit hero— Left presents for us all. Days sped by on wings it seemed With nothing of mischance, Till fortune again upon us beamed, In the form of a lovely dance. ‘‘Wake up .Mable”, was a success. We staged another play. ‘‘For Goodness Sakcs”, I must confess Our efforts did repay. There came to the school one night in May, A group quite gay and hearty, Where the pancakes ruled in crisp array At an old time country party. Oh many things we planned to do. With good times for us all— A picnic and our Class Play too, And then a farewell ball. When Commencement is o’er and we go different way When Old Father Time departs, We shall always look to our high school days, As the treasures of our hearts. ; I A retaMAS 34 1.

Strongheart, the Indian half-back, who two years before saved Frank’s life, is also a guest. Skinner, a professional gambler, influences Thorne to send the signals used in the game to the other team so that Columbia can’t possibly win and Dick. Thorne’s rival, who has bet heavily on Columbia, will have to leave college, disgraced. Strongheart and Dick both tell Dorothy that they want to win for her while 13i 11 y wants to win for Molly, and as a proof of his love gives her the precious signals. Dick confesses to Strongheart how deeply indebted he is to Thorne. ACT II. “Game” The big game is “on” and Columbia putting up a good fight when Farley, the manager of the other team brings the signals and puts the whole team under suspicion. When Strongheart sees the list in Dick’s writing he takes the blame so that Dick will play his best. Later. Strongheart shows the list or Billy, who immediately condemns Molly. ACT III. “Danoe” Dorothy confesses to Molly that she loves Strongheart, but later when Strongheart asks her to marry him she begs for time and he promises to come for his answer the next morning. Billy and Molly have an unhappy time when he accuses her of treachery and they part in anger. Strongheart tells Thorne that he knows who sent the signals and Thorne retorts by saying that Dorothy will never be allowed to marry an Indian. Strongheart, stung by this cowardly taunt calls Frank and the others Into the room and tells them of his love for Dorothy and they, true to their type and prejudices, refuse to let him see her. ACT IV. Billy very humbly asks forgiveness, Molly grants it and also promises to marry him. Captain Nelson has a meeting of the team where Dick is cleared and Thorne leaves in disgrace. Strongheart comes for his answer and Dorothy tells him it is “yes” when they are interrupted by Black Eagle, who has come to tell Strongheart that his father is dead and that he is now chief. He also convinces Strongheart that Dorothy can never live the life of an Indian, that he cannot give up his tribe, and that his knowledge and life belong to them. Her love is so great that to help him she gives him up that he may help his people.

ACT II In the Hall of the Governor’s Mansion. Jan Van Borkem, the burgomaster of Katwky-ann-zee, planned to marry his daughter, Gretchen, to the Governor of Zeeland for purely mercenary reasons. She was in love with Doris Van Damn and refused to obey her father. Two Americans. “Con”, “Kidder”, and “Kid Conner were staying at the Red Mill Inn but had no money to pay their bills so Willem, the Inn-keeper, made them help him in order to collect what they owed him. With the aid of the burgomaster’s sister, Bertha, and Tina. Con’s sweetheart and bar-maid at the inn, the two boys helped Gretchen hide in the old Red Mill. She intended to elope with Doris that night. The burgomaster heard of the elopement and had Franz, the sheriff, put Doris in jail. He could not find Gretchen and was almost frantic because the wedding was set for the next day. He gave Bertha a telegram to send to the two famous detectives. Sherlock Holmes and Mr. Watson saying. “Come at once, a mysterious case of disappearance—Money no object.” Bertha told the boys about the telegram and they persuaded her not to send it.

The program was a long varied one,—no doubt about getting your money’s worth. Though it rained and rained and rained when the day eame to put it on, the crowd came any way, and took away a picture of a pleasant entertainment. And what did they remember about the evening? Oh, there was a noisy remembrance of the Jazz Orchestra, composed of a pretty young lady named Lois Olyve Felt, and such eminent musicians as Gene Garrett, John Jefferson, Marvin Felt, Ed Langham, and Ed Frazier. Possibly there were more, but these were the noisiest, and they pleased the crowd immensely. A burlesque wedding, put on by the Gold Bugs, was one laugh after another, for the weeping mother, the crushed rivals, the coquetish flower girls, and the “gum chewer” were all there. Bill Hamby and Brooke Stevens excited the male element of the crowd with boxing stunt. The Clios impressed the audience with the sorrows of war, by a beautiful pantomime effect, “The Angels of Buena Vista”. Imagine a whole stage full of pretty girls acting out their sentiments while watching a battle, and you have their idea exactly. The Stcvensons gave an entertaining Bowery scene. We all have an exaet idea of what a bowery scene is now, as well as the way a Dutch youngster makes love, for, Juanita Fagg and Jinx Wilkens gave a intriguing dance interpretation of it. They were the Laniers representatives. Then Harry Wise and Mary Louise Wilson entertained the audience with a typical rather timid (?) youth and coy maiden love scene. Of course her brother, Gus Delph, had to interfere, but every thing was settled to the satisfaction of every body in the end—including the audience. Sprinkle some songs through the whole performance and you will have an excellent idea of “For Goodness Sake”, sponsored by the June class, matinee and night performances.

Any school might justly be proud of such a display of trophies as those shown above. These have been won during the six years of Brackenridge High School’s career and are, with a few exceptions, permanent possessions. Besides those shown in the picture, we have several others: three Swimming Cups’ Tennis Interscholastic Press Association Cup, which was awarded the “Times” as the best high school paper in Texas. Cup, and the 81 82 €CCA° 83 SIGMA EPSILON A A A little gold pin with the Greek letters “S” and “E” on it means much to the students of Braekenridge. Anyone wearing one of these pins belongs to the honorary scholarship society. Sigma Epdlon. To he entitled to one of these pins a student must make four nines or three ninety-fives, with no grade below seven, for three successive quarters. To retain the pin he must continue to be on the exceptional list; that is. on the list of those having the grades mentioned above. If on graduating, his average is ninety or above for his high school course he is given a pin to keep. The forming of this society has been an incentive to the students and has greatly helped to raise the standard of scholarship. Everyone who gains the right to wear the Sigma Epsilon pin endeavors to keep up his record in order that he may keep the pin. In this way greater interest is taken in school work. The student wearing this pin is looked upon as a leader and it is generally true that the leaders in the school are wearers of the Sigma Epsilon pin. 84 0 LA RETAMAi THE “TIMES” CUP A The cup for the best High School Paper is one of the great honors a school can win, and Brackenridge won it! I he High School Press Association Convention was held on April 13 and 14 at Baylor College, Belton, Texas. Representatives from about twenty-five Texas high schools were present. The Brackenridge representatives were Miss Juanima Wells and Miss Imogene I hompson. Officers for this year were elected from among the Junior representatives and plans were made for the next convention. Many points were considered in the criticism of the papers, and although the “Brackenridge Times’’ was awarded the cup, wc feel sure that next, year we can have a better paper through the help of these criticisms. One thing wc arc especially proud of is the fact that the paper is published entirely by the students, both the editing and the printing. Since the first issue of the “Times” it has been sponsored by Miss Stone, who has devoted much of her time endeavoring to bring the paper up to its present high standard. This year she successfully worked out the plan of having two staffs, one staff publishing the paper one week, and the other publishing it the next week. The two Editors-in-Ohief. Juanima Wells and Theodore Etheridge made exceptional records in their work and are also due much praise for the winning of the cup. 86 -tfUAMiMA WELLS |p.-iN CHi F IVv KA HAROLD MCLAUCilLlN 7ACOTJ RatNRR vfisrA Honvm M LCIS VSLT BOTH TA TlNNKY BEVKRUV CALDVUX.

One of the biggest tasks carried out by the linotype is the printing of the “Brackenridge Times”. Ever since the installment of the printing machinery, the school paper has not only been edited by the students but also has been printed by the students. Brackenridge is one of the few high schools in the state, which can boast of this. Besides the printing of the school paper, the linotype students are called upon to print programs, posters, tickets, tags, and other printed matter by clubs or classes, not only for our own schools but for the ward schools. They also print a large amount ot material for the school board; such as, program cards, white slips, pink slips, absence slips, grade cards, and other material needed in the schools. Some of the credit for winning the Times Cup” is due to this department and its students. THE PUBLIC SPEAKING DEPARTMENT The Public Speaking Department has accomplished more this year, in its varied course, than in any year in the school’s history. Besides t lie regular public speaking course, the department offered a dramatic course to the students, and the response was very gratifying. This class was required to prepare a number of one-act plays, which were worked up so creditably that many requests were received for benefit performances. One notable piece of work which was accomplished was the performance for the Hi-Y Club. At this show five one-act plays, “The Twelve Pound Look’’, “Neighbors”, “The Six Who Pass While The Lentils Boil”, “Enter the Hero”, and, “The Noble Lord”, were presented very successfully. The public speaking department was also asked to present a Pageant, “The Heart of the World” for the Rotary Club program. This program was voted as the best one of the year. Its popularity and success may be shown by the fact that it was repeated four times: once at the Conopus Club, once at the Travis Park Methodist Church, and twice at Brackenridge High School. This year the public speaking department produced many good declaimers and from this number were chosen Mavis Scott and Jesse Edwards, who represented Brackenridge in the contest with Main Avenue High School. Thev defeated the Main High representatives and also the district representatives. They will soon compete for state honors. Much of the credit for the accomplishments of this department is due to Miss Jeston Dickey, who has been teaching this course at Brackenridge for several years. Besides her regular work in this department she usually coaches the class plays presented by the graduating classes, and is at present working with the June ’23 Class on their play, “Strongheart”. LAR TAMA; THE TWELVE' POUND LOOK NEIGHBORS ENTER THE HERO THE SIX WHO PASS WHILE THE LENTILS BOIL THE FINGER OF GOD eo INTERSCHOLASTIC REPRESENTATIVES The interscholastic representatives of Bracken ridge High School have this year, set a record which will be difficult to surpass. For the second time in the history of the school, our representatives achieved a five to nothing decision over Main Avenue, and then followed this up by winning in every event in which they were entered at the district meet at San Marcos. The contestants are as follows: Helen McNeil and Florence Newton, girls’ debate; Mavis Scott, girls’ declamation; Willis Ellison and Theodore Weiss, boys’ debate; Jesse Edwards, boys’ declamation, and Theodore Etheridge, e sayist. Brackenridge won over Main in all these literary events and also at San Marcos The State meet will be held at Austin on the third and fourth of May. We go to press with the sincere hope that this year will be the most successful in the history of the school. 01 THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT Braekenridge students have been afforded many enjoyable concerts given by the Music Department. This department consists of Chorus Classes, Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs, and an Orchestra. The instructor, Miss Myrtle Inches, has done much to bring our Braekenridge musicians into recognition in San Antonio. The Glee Clubs and also the Orchestra outdo their debut in the radio world and so delighted the radio fans that their concerts have been in demand many times. In February, this department put on the operetta, “The Gypsy Rover”. The leading roles were taken by Edna Barrett, . . jnjRTLi William Irby, G. X. Crow, and Rebecca n9K18 Goiiicz. all of whom -liowc.l talenl in their I work. This operetta proved to be the best and prettiest ever staged at Braekenridge. During Music Week, The Glee Clubs and Orchestra gave a program, besides furnishing numbers on other programs, and also repeated the Operetta. Its even larger audience at this latter performance, was a great tribute to the Operetta’s popularity. 93 94 V. Z “ SSSI LA RgTAMAI THE BRACKENRIDGE LIBRARY A For the past three years our lilmrv has l)een kept up chiefly through the activities of the students and teachers. Last year each advisory gave candy sales which altogether amounted to more than six hundred dollars. This sum was invested in books. The latest benefactors have been the Library Club, the members of which held the Art Exhibit in April for the benefit of the Library Fund. Miss Armstrong, the Bracken ridge Librarian, is sponsor of the Library Club. She also helped in the Good Book Week Program, contributing the idea of the living book shelf. 95 ART EXHIBIT The Art Exhibit, sponsored by the Library Club and Miss Armstrong was a real event. It was the costliest loan collection of paintings ever exhibited in San Antonio. The paintings, valued at $150,000, came from the homes of Mrs. Harry Rogers, Mrs. (J. Bedell Moore, Mrs. Julian Onderdonk, Mr. Kolia Taylor, and last, but not least. Max Krueger, who has offered to present to the city the nucleus of an art gallery. Among the pictures exhibited were paintings from Corot, Innes, I)e-Hooge, Jose Arpa, Dicardo Sanches, and the late Julian Onderdonk. Mrs. Onderdonk lent several of her husband's paintings including his master piece, “Dawn in the Hills”. The Corots, Innes, Wyant, and DeHooge can vases, the most valuable of the collection, were lent by Mrs. Harry Rogers. Mr. E. Raba lent several paintings of Jose Arpa, the distinguished Spanish painter who once claimed San Antonio as his home. The result of such an exhibit cannot be measured in words. It left something that made life more worth while. However, there was a flaw in our enjoyment of it. Mr. Julian Onderdonk, who in past years always came to our exhibits, was not there. Vet, looking at his canvases, we know that he is not dead. He took a live interest in the Braekenridge student who showed any artistic talent. As one of our young artists expressed it, “To talk to him for half an hour is to have a new conception of art.” He has left us not only his blue bonnets but the memory of a fine frank personality. i.a rj tama; 97 Rfl HOOK WEEK 4 4 The value of co-operation was made manifest during “Good Book Week’’. Although planned and sponsored by the Laniers, it was ably supported by the other clubs and 1 he English classes. The week was introduced by essays, posters, lags and book displays. Criticisms and discussions of books were the main subjects of conversation during the entire week. Friday morning those who were not so fortunate— or perhaps so unfortunate as to know what the “blurb” parade was going to be and of the grand finale which was to end “Good Book Week” were surprised and delighted by a notice signed “Marshall Johnston” which summoned them to an assembly. Probably those who did not have a perfectly clear conscience with regard to—ahem! pink literature, et cetera, wanted to make a hasty retreat when they saw great hords of books walking down the aisles, up on to the stage of the auditorium. They must finally have observed with relief that it was not the spirit of literature on parade but was only very alive human beings camouflaged as books. On the stage there was a huge book shelf containing such volumes as “Don Quixote”, “Vanity Fair”, “Henry Esmond”, “Mill on the Floss”, “Odcssey of llomer”, “The Municipal Report”, “Janice Meredith”, and Browning’s Poems. Miss Juanima Wells persided as librarian and tried in vain to interest the modern and indifferent young lady, Miss Mabel Cooper, in the books. When she expressed her dislike for such “boresome things”, the characters from each book stepped out and revealed to her the beauty or humorous incidents or thrilling adventures, which she might find in their pages. The prizes for the best Good Book Week Essays were awarded to Juanima Wells, Katherine Sheppard and Lillian Barton. The prizes for the best posters were received by Charles St. Clair and Margaret Norton; for the best blurbs, the prizes went to Fortunata Fernandez, and Crystal Waters.

This class is in charge of Miss Cochran. Besides the regular class work every student has certain hours in which he gains practice by working in a downtown store or in some other line of salesmanship. He is given two high school credits for this work. On the following page is pictured another branch of the commercial department, the Type Class. Braekenridge has become so efficient in its type and stenographic work that it has been repeatedly asked to furnish stenographers for various business firms. Miss Livesa.v, head of this department, is also in charge of tlie Book Exchange, which is a medium for the exchange of books among the students. By this means, the students can sell their books and buy others at reduced prices. The profits from the Book Exchange go into the school fund. 10 1 102 103 HOME PROJECTS, RADIO, AND AGRICULTURE A Mr. L. E. Wolf, the former Superintendent of the City Schools, says that there are certain emergency repairs in which every boy and girl should he proficient. In order to accomplish this end, he has inaugurated a plan for industrial home project training. Through the medium of the schools, he has taught the hoys and girls how to repair door locks, plumbing and electrical fixtures. Mr. Wolf has been assisted by Mr. O. L. Wallace, Assistant State Nut Specialist and Mr. F. Vollmer of the Kirkwood and Wharton Electric Company. Perhaps one of the most interesting courses in Brackenridge is the Radio. In this class the students learn all about radio receiving, broadcasting, and the mechanism of the radio. After a course in this and after an examination a student may became a licensed operator. The wielding of the rake and hoe is not only good exercise, but is also very enlightening as to the sources and characteristics of food. The Agriculture students have learned much about the growing of vegetables, grains, fruits and other foods. But best of all they do not merely read about it, but actually learn it through experience, as is shown in the picture above. 106 i 00 107 1 08 MANUAL TRANING AND MECHANICAL DRAWING Two courses that always attracts boys, and even some of the girls, are the manual training and drawing courses. Much interest is taken in these classes by the students and many beneficial arts are learned. On entering the manual training classes one might think that it was a furniture store as all kind of furniture might be seen such as, porch swings, cabinets, chairs, tables, racks, and many useful articles. Before Christmas many of the boys made some beautiful presents inthe classes. The Drawing classes usually attract our future architects and engineers. The interest may be proved by the large numbers in the classes and the amount of work done by the pupils. The students in the Manual Arts department gain a great deal of valuable experience which becomes even more valuable in later years. tow 1 10 OUR ADVISORIES Among the leading advisories in the school we always find the Stratton Advisory. In scholarship it is usually at the top of the list as having the largest number of exceptional. Miss Lancaster’s Advisory has also always stood among the best in the school. This time Miss Livesay’s Advisory tied with Miss Lancaster in having the fewest failing grades. Miss Johnson’s Advisory and Miss West’s Advisory are also noted for their high standing in school activities. These two advisories had the largest number of Annual subscribers of any of the advisories in the school. l l 2 SPANISH PAGEANT Xt03 Wicfdft o’s ¥ ' 0 At 6 B( UK- k ©b ok V NNPR 1 13 •JtcrLe 2J Vloa+ lotrclY Clut yio t 9$M w-' •f'st - -• £ V ElaSsxama! err 1 1 4 I m LA Rc-tamAI 117 THE CLUBS 4, 4 The clubs of Brackenridge form an important part of the student activities. They are helpful and pleasant diversions for the students. The student learns leadership, individuality, and cooperation. Teacher and students are brought closer together by means of our clubs and that invisible thin?. School Spirit is instilled into every member. The various clubs have co-operated in several movements, such as Good Hook Week, the Better English week, the Art Exhibit, and Latin-American week. In these big undertakings, sportmanship and friendly rivalry have been shown by all concerned. Then, in producing vaudevilles, under the auspices of the various graduation classes, the most admirable spirit has been shown. Among the students, it has bfcen the means of deve’op-ing leaders for the other activities which surround school life. Look into the past history of our present leaders and almost invariably you will find that they became prominent first through one of our clubs. Look at our graduates who are fast becoming leaders in the University and colleges and you will find them to be members of a club when they were Brackenridge students. All of these agreeable results of club life are directly due to our teachers, who have been willing to give us so much of their time. A brief resume of the various clubs and what they do might be illuminating. In their order in this book their histories will be reviewed. The Lanier Literary Society is a literary club that has specialized in the study of short stories and plays the last year. The Lanier St. Patricks Tea, Good Book Week, and a prize winning float were the Laniers contributions to the year’s activities. The Clio History Club, as its name implies, studies history and sponsored Good English Week. The Clio Library was a decided help to history students, and the banquet given by them to our debating and declaiming winners over Main Avenue was mi’.ch appreciated. The Stevenson Literary Club has studied the great men in literature, as well as helping the Gold Bugs to present the “November Novelties , and giving many, many orphans a Merry Christmas. The big work of the Brackenridge Library Club the past year has been the successful handling of the Art Exhibit. Several entertaining parties have been given by them also. The promotion of the study of library work is their aim. The Periclean Debating Society composed of girls, has furnished the girl debating team for Brackenridge for several years. The team this year defeated Main Avenue, much to our joy. The Greek Party given by the Pericleans is an annual institution. The Gold Bug Short Story Club has worked hard on short stories, and expects to produce some brilliant writers some day. The club participated in November Novelties” and entertained with several charming parties. L-A re-tamA 1 1 8 THE CLUBS (Continued) The Girl Reserves made the clebration of National Girl’s Week a truly enjoyable affair. Besides promoting every benefiting activity for girls, this club gave a “Futfny Paper Party.” The Hi-Y Club of Brackenridge High School, devoted its time to work among high school boys, participating in the Older Boys Conference, and sponsoring a program of one-act plays, put on by the Dramatic Class. The fund accumulated went to establish a Scholarship Fund. The Father and Son Banquet was another feature of their j rogram. The Brackenridge Debating Society, furnished the winners in the declamation and debate in the Main Avenue-Brackenridge contest. The club devotes its time to the promotion of debate and development of debaters. The Forum Debating Society, another debating club for boys, has done excellent work in this line also. A banquet and other good times, have done their part to fill up their program for the year. The Reagan Debating Club has accomplished much in the debating line also. Spirited discussions and an interesting number of parties, including the Reagan-Periclean party, were on their program. Hard work has accomplish much lor the Reagans. The Brackenridge Congress Club is a new club at Brackenridge. Representatives from every advisory make up the Senate and the House. Improving conditions that need to be remedied has been the work of the Congress. A cam. aign for cleanline: s has been put on by them. The Brackenridge Honor Society, also a new club, is composed of students who have distinguished themselves in several lines of endeavor. The Sigma Epsilon pupils furnish most of the members next year. This club intends to be a decided factor in school activities. I Os Hidalgos, the Spanish club of the year, has done unusual work. Latin-American Week was a great success.

I ast year our team was unusually fortunate and succeeded in winning the State cup which is pictured above. The team was composed of Raymond Gerhardt and Julius Nayfach and was considered the finest and most polished team ever developed in the city. Our school representatives this year are Willis Ellison and Theodore Weiss, both of the Brackenridge Debating Society. So far, this team bids fair to rival last year’s for they have all ready won from the Main Avenue debaters and also at the district meet in San Marcos. The State meet will soon be held and—well, we will let you see the results for yourself. OFFICERS OF THE BRACKENRIDGE DEBATING SOCIETY President.......................................THEO.

Its purpose is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the students of the American High Schools. The membership of this society ranks even higher than that of the S:gma Epsilon in that the members chosen by a committee from the faculty must have a scholarship rank in the first fourth of the respective graduating classes. Not more than fifteen per cent from each class is elected. These members are chosen because of leadership, scholarship, service, and character. It is the plan of the society for each member to assist a freshman and guide him through his school career. The first officers of this Society are: President...................

It has been his efforts to a great extent that have brought the Braeken-ridge Cadet Corps to its present high rate of standing. Last year Bill was awarded the medal as the best drilled cadet in the corps. Ever since the day he joined the Cadet Corps he has taken great interest in it, and now as Major he is the one who keeps up the morale of the “army” by his own example. AT THE COMPETITIVE DRILL 1 40 COMPETITIVE DRILL On March 23, 1923, the eailet corps of Main Avenue High School, San Antonio Academy, West Texas Military Academy, and Brackenridge High School assembled on the drill field at Brackenridge High School to compete for the San Antonio Intramural Drill Cup. The drill began at two-thirty in the afternoon with a Battalion Review and Parade. The four schools in turn passed the reviewing stand. After the parade, the corps formed in their original places and prepared for the competitive drill. A company from the West Texas Military Academy gave an exhibition drill, which was exceedingly well done. West Texas did not compete for the cup because the other schools are under Government Special Regulations 45, and they are of Junior R. O. T. C. After the exhibition drill, the drill for the cup began with the Bracken-ridge High School company taking the field first. The competing Companies were composed of a Captain, two Lieutenants, seven Sergeants, and six squads of eight men each. A list of movements and drills was given each captain to he executed. When the Brackenridge Company had completed the drill, the Main Avenue High School Company came on the field and executed the same movements as the first company. After the Main High Company finished their drill, the company from San Antonio Academy took the field. Going through the same movements as the two previous companies, they retired from the field and awaited the judges’ decision. The judges, officers from Fort Sam Houston, made the decision in favor of the company from Brackenridge High School. The captain marched the company before the reviewing stand and the cup was presented by General Paul B. Malone. Much credit of the victory is due to the work of The Professor of Military Science and Tactics of the High Schools, Major Deshler Whiting. After weeks of hard work in practising for the drill, the Brackenridge High School Cadets are very proud of their cup and intend to keep it by winning again next year. 1 4 i LA RETAMA •scraurt -'V7 CitrrsSfi 'fr7-S£ HJUJ0P 1 42 V. 144 BRACKENRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL CADET CORPS-COMPANY “A” L i B.

Clair has been our Art Superuisor. The Annual itself speaks for him a greater praise than u e could express. Miss Crqstal IDaters and Miss Juanita Faqg have been his able assistants. COACHES HUMMER “DUTCH” ENGL EBERT Englebert has coached winning teams at Braekenridge for the past three seasons. All three years his fighting fives have gone up to the state meet at Austin. The first year they were defeated in the final game of the meet by El Paso, and the second year lost to Fort Worth Polytechnic School in their first game by one point. In their latest trip thsy went into the semi-finals. ALFRED “KOTZY” KILGORE “Kotzy” Kilgore is the man who, coupled with game material of Braekenridge High School, has produced for the past four years, a fighting and a winning team. Kilgore is reputed by the various sport writers to be the best football coach in the surrounding territory. He is always out on the grid mixing with his men and keeping up the old pep which is needed in the making of a championship eleven. Besides coaching Braekenridge Elevens to victories, he coached the team of Peacock .Military Academy to a city championship in 1919. Kilgore is a gradute of the University of Texas where lie starred in the position of half-back on the Varsity Eleven. He has also headed the all-star civilian team that has met the all-star soldier elevens for the past two seasons, and his physical and mental support has helped them to victories both seasons. LA RItTAMA 167 COACH L. D. WILLIAMS ‘'L. I).” is a smart baseball man and particularly helpful to the youngster. He is kind and considerate and knows what he is talking about, which accomplishments are excellent ones for a coach. He is an old Baylor man, and made an enviable athletic record while with that University. He has put our many winning team at Brackenridge, the ’23 team being one of the best. What more could be expected from a first class coach ? COACH LACKEY This is the first year that Coach Lackey has taken our track team into his hands. He has developed a good team out of new material, which task is not an easy one to accomplish. Now that he knows his men and knows what he is getting next season, he will undoubtedly put out a winning team for Brackenridge. n LA RetaMA J 68 169 Til GRID H tOES H. Blai ki enship, E.

S L 1 70 FOOTBALL With only a few of the first string men of last year baek, Coach Kilgore faced a difficult proposition in building up another great team for Braek-enridge. However, he again proved equal to the task and the 1922 Bracken-ridge football team ranked with the best and was a credit to the school. The team played some great games and won splendid victories, and then again went down to defeat before weaker teams when the breaks went against them. Brackenridge opened the season against Southwestern University Freshmen and were defeated 19 to 0, the team then being in the process of formation. The next two games were great victories for Brackenridge when they humbled the Texas University Shorthorns 12 to 7, and won from the strong Houston Central High School 12 to 0. Brackenridge then journeyed to Kerrville, defeating Tivy High. At this juncture hard-luck overtook the team when the fullback was declared ineligible because of his age, and the re-organized team went down to defeat before the powerful Austin High team 13 to 6. This, however, was no disgrace and, considering the advantage in weight and experience held by Austin, it was a good showing. Then came the supreme tragedy of the season—the loss to Main Avenue. Our men were overly anxious to get into the fray and were called offside many times during the first of the game, 50 yards in penalties put-thing the ball behind our lines, when a blocked kick resulted in a Main touchdown, Main kicking goal for the 7th point. Brackenridge came back in the second half and by a great driving attack put over the ball for the touchdown, but the kick failed and we bowed to Main for the first time in history. After the Main game, the team journeyed to San Marcos, holding Normal High to a G-6 tie in a field of mud, and closed the season with a victory over Gonzales High. 17 1 EVERETT (“PUNK”) JOHNSON, Captain, Fullback “Punk” lias been one of the outstanding players of tlie year. He has kept the bunch in there fighting all the time, and during the latter part of the season he has performed remarkably well the difficult task of undertaking to play end while his team has been on the defensive and fullback while on the offensive. “Punk” has had no off days and he has put his heart and soul in every play in every game. ARTHUR ( PINKEY”) WHITNEY, Quarterback Pinkey” again has shone forth as one of the bright stars of the season. He was picked by everyone in the city as the best field general in local football. He has never lost his head and has seemed always to have the right play on tap. “Pinkey’s” generalship has done much for Brackenridge this season and, incidentally, he has been a power in the backfield, making many good gains. LAWRENCE (“VIC”) URBAN, Center “Vic” has played center and has proved to be a tower of strength in the line. Throughout the season he has played brilliant football and many men have fallen through his deadly tackling. This is “Vic’s” second year and he was picked on the All-City Eleven. He will be back next season, which means a lot to the team. . LA„R £XAMA 1 7 'A WILLIAM (“RED”) IRBY, Left-Half “Red”, our speedy half-back, has been a steady gainer throughout the whole season. His fleetness and grit have accounted for many gains. He has seldom missed a tackle. This is “Red’s” first year, ana he has proven so valuable that we regret very much his leaving us in June. DAN (“HAMBURGER”) HE YE, Right-half “Hamburger”, although, one of the lightest men on the team, has been one who could always be depended on. He has always found a hole in the line and has been responsible for a number of points during the Season. ALVAH (“CAESAR”) KING, Right-tackle “Caesar” has been a man feared by his opponents. He has been hard to beat for his position. He has been always in every play of the game, both offensive and defensive, and has shown that he has that good old fighting spirit which flows so freely in Bracken-ridge. 1 73 TOM (“BUSTER”) CARVER, Left-tackle “Buster”, although playing his first year on the team, has stepped into his position as tackle and from the first game to the last has proven to be the main cog in the line. There has not been a moment in any game that Tom hasn’t fought. His opponents have always hit a snag” wifen they have tried to drive a play through his side of the line. We will miss Tom next season. WILLIAM (“BILL”) HAMBY, Left-end “Bill” has been one of the surest tacklers on the team. He has held down one of the wing positions in the line and the number of opponents’ plays he has upset is unlimited. He has been fast, has hit hard and low, and many a big fellow has called for time when “Bill” tackled. He also leaves this year. RAYMOND (“SHORTY”) McCARTY, Right-end “Shorty” has been a man who has given everything he had in a game. He has played end and has been great for catching passes. He has been a good tackier and broke up many plays. “Shorty” proved to be a hero in the “Main” game by grabbing a forward pass behind the line, which was our only counter. LA rj tamAJ 1 74 ERNEST (“JIT”) NICKELS, Right Guard “Jit” has played a steady game and has always been in every play. As a guard he is a comer and we expect great things from him next season, so keep your eyes on him. ARTHUR (“ARTIE”) RODRIQUEZ, Left Guard “Artie” has held down the other guard. He has always been there when it came to blocking plays. He will also be back next season; this means much strength to our line. “THE WILD CATS” Who are we?_______Brackenridges “Wildcats!” What’s our yell!!!?..............“ Me-e-ow! ” This is the blood curdling yell of our second team. When a fellow hears these words thundering thru the air he knows that our “Wildcats” are about to devour another opponent. Captain Raymond McCarty has been able leader of the pack, and he has shown little mercy on the team our “Wildcats” have gone against. The Poteet football team was the first to face his fierce eleven, and the Poteet football team was the first to taste a defeat at their hands. Later in the season, Poteet defeated the Main second stringers, and with much confidence they came here to subdue our terrible “Wildcats.” The “Wildcats” went into this game with blood in their eyes, and after giving their yell of defiance, trounced their opponents to the tune of 46 to 0. Coach Kilgore sent a challenge to Coach Clark of Main asking him to let the two second teams meet, but his challenge was ignored. We have a right to feel proud of our “Wildcats”. 176 i Larbtama; 177 ■ r OUR TEAM Standing:—Coach Engelbert, William Irby, Tom Carver (Captain), Artie Rodrequez, and Jake Hill.

We opened the season with a victory over St. Marys College, regarded as the most formidable team in Section A of the Academic League. Following this we scored victories over San Antonio and Lukin Academies, the other teams in Section A of the Academic League. Then came the series with Main Avenue for the local High school title. We took the two necessary games in a row, but Mair surprised us by their game fighting, Braekenridge winning the first game by only a one point margin. The teams in our district, excepting Braekenridge, met at San Marcos for the District Meet, it being understood that Braekenridge was to play the winner. Staples came out the winner of the meet, and then Braekenridge won over Staples by a large score, thus gaining the District High championship. Next came the game for Bi-District honors, which Braekenridge won at San Marcos over the fast Devine team. Braekenridge then went to the State Meet, losing their first and only game of the season to FI Paso in the semi-finals. Following the State Meet, Braekenridge finished up its Academic schedule, winning first the championship of Section A, and then playing Main Avenue again, as Main won the championship of Section B. We beat Main the necessary two games by very large scores. 1 79 — N ; LAR-exaMA; TOM (“BUSTER”) CARVER, Captain, Guard “Buster has proven an ideal leader for the team this year. He has put the fight into the team all the time, and played his position at standing guard so well that he was picked on the All-State High Team following the State Meet at Austin. Carver not only has led his team on the floor and in the fight for victory, hut also has shown the way by clean, sport-manship playing. ARTHUR (“PINKEY”) WHITNEY, Forward “Pinkey” has been a tower of strength to the team and the high point man for the season. He has been in the game fighting all the time and his great spirit helped pull many a game into the victory column. Those who followed basket ball in San Antonio c’osely during the season said that “Pinkey” has been the best basket ball player seen in action in San Antonio during the season. WILLIAM (“RED”) IRBY, Guard “Red” ha ; been not only one of the fastest running guards on the floor, but has also been an accurate shot. He has accounted for many points during the season and has been a guard hard to get by. He has always been in every play of the game, passing and shooting. To describe him in a few words, “He’s a ‘red’ streak.” l 80 JAKE HILL, Forward Jake, our speedy forward, has played a classy brand of basket ball throughout the season. His left “tosser” has proved an absolute puzzle to his guards. Jake has been accurate on both long and short shots. He coil’d shoot from all angles and was also good on free shots. In fact, he is an all round forward. DAN HEYE, Forward, Guard Dan has been the first substitute in basket ball and is an all-around man, being able to fill very satisfactorily either a forward or a guard position. He has been called upon at some critical times during the season and has always been found right there ready to put forth his best and just a little bit more. ARTIE RODRIQUEZ, Center Artie, our husky center, has come thru the season with his colors flying. At first he was a little timid and wouldn't miss in a game, but he has developed into a fighter who is worth watching. He has several years yet to play and we are expecting great things from him. Come on “Artie”, fi :ht 'em up! 1 8 1 TOM DAGGETT, Forward Tommy, the speedy little man, just naturally gets around. It has been a job for any guard to keep track of him. He has always covered the whole court and chalked up many points during the season. EDDIE NEWMAN, Forward Eddie has been a steady and competent forward. He has been a dead shot on short ones and was right in it when he had to throw from the center. He has been in every play; if not shooting, he was assisting. 1 82 1 83 TOM “BUSTER” CARVER Tom played such a brilliant game at guard, this season that the judges put him on the All-State Team during the State meet at Austin. This is considered one of the great honors a high school basket ball player can have bestowed upon him. But the best ;s yet to come! lie played his lighting game in such a way at the State .Meet that he was also awarded the medal for the best sportsmanship displayed by an individual player on the teams competing for the State Championship. This is the highest honor that :s given in State High School basket ball and his is surely a record to be proudly remembered by the students of Bracken-ridge. LA R. e TAMA A 1 84 B mS I • -.

However, Brackenridge has a baseball team worthy of the best traditions, and she looks very much like a winner in the Academic League, with a good chance to win State High School Championship. Coach Williams assembled a hard slugging aggregation that could be counted upon to pile up the scores against any team in its class. The infield is fast, and the outfield covers lots of territory. The pitching staff is one of the best, if not the best, ever assembled at Brackenridge. The early scores show what a remarkable start the team has made and that Coach Williams has turned out another fast and powerful team for “Ole Brackenridge.” 1 87 A. (“PINKEY”) WHITNEY, Captain, Shortstop “Pinkey” is a star at baseball, as he was in football and basket ball. He covers the territory around his position in great style. He keeps up the morale of the team, and worries the opposing pitchers. At bat he has shown the way all the season. his greatest achievement being a home .run against Main Avenue with the bases loaded. Whenever “Pinkey” is boss of a team, you can bet that it will be run in classy style. W. (“RED”) IRBY, Third Base “Red” holds down the hot corner in good style and hits at the right moment. He has lots of pep and helps keep up the morale of the team. He also leaves us this year, making vacant a position on all three teams. C. (“CLIFF”) TOLLE, Pitcher, Outfielder “Cliff” is a twirler with a good variety of stuff, and above all things he uses his head, for he is really at his best when he is in the hole. Nothing better can be said about a rising young hurler. “Cliff” showed class in hitting and we regret to say that he leaves us this year. u fl'M '• t J V ifiSv m „ c J. (“JACK ) TOLAR, Pitcher, Outfielder “Jack” is the “ace of the staff and ranks about the best among the Academic League flingers. When he is not pitching, Jack can fill in very nicely at any othrr place, and he knows how to wallop the bull for many bases, which is unusual for a pitcher. C (“RED”) DAVIS, Outfielder “Red” is a fast outfielder and knocks down many balls that seem ticketed for base hits. He is also fast on the bases and is a good hitter. “Red” is a man that has had hard luck through the whole year. He broke his arm while playing football and had trouble with his leg. but in spite of this he has made a real star. “Red” will be with us again next year to continue his gritty fight. R. (“SHORTY”) McCARTY, Second Base “Shorty” put vim, vigor, and vitality, better described as pep, into the game. He is always in there fighting, his “head up . He plays his position well and can hit when hits are needed, proving himself to be a good all-around baseball player. T. (“BUSTER”) CARVER, First Base, Outfielder Buster” plays a nice game in either position and helps keep the team in there fighting all the time. He is not a flashy, but just a consistent good player, and a hard worker always. “Buster” will be missed very much next year, as he proved a star in football and basket ball as well as baseball. A. (“ARTIE”) RODRIQUEZ, Pitcher, Outfielder “Artie” is developing into a star twirler. He has a nice assortment, and a change of pace that is puzzling to the opposition. He also handles the willow in good style and he will be back to do it again next year. A. (“BLONDE”) HOWLE, Pitcher “Blonde” has the making of a mighty good mounds-man. Coach Williams is giving him some special attention and thinks he will develop into a real star in time. “Blonde” will also be back next year wearing the purple and white. a 1 90 W. (“BILL”) LEWIS. Pitcher “Bill” is a promising youngster and developing fast. He is anxious to learn and works hard and conscientiously. Brackenridge is counting on “Bill” for next year also. R. (“BOB”) FENNER, Catcher, First Base “Bob” looks mighty good in either position. He is a husky boy, and when he lays on the ball, it generally travels for many bases. He knows how to stop them when using the mask and he can sure scoop them up on the first base. This is “Bob’s” first year on the team and we are counting on him for next year. GEORGE WOLF, Catcher George is always on the spot when a second call for a catcher is issued. He is a hard worker and has proved that he is a man to stick. George is right there when it comes to handling the “hot ones” and his “peg” to second sends many a man to the bench. He will be with us next season and we have much confidence in him. LA RET A MA; 4 191 THE BASEBALL SEASON The okl ball-grounds are a sight to behold, At this time o’ year! The streetcars are crowded with boys young and old, At this time o’ year! The ticket-taker mops his brow. At this time o’ year! Eveyonc gets in a fearful row, At this time o’ year! ‘‘It’shit ’em hard!” “Run, Babe run!” At this time o’ year! It’s straw-hat days for protection from the sun, At this time o’ year! The “boss” and Johnny are on equal terms. At this time o’ year! For both are interested in ball returns, At this time o’ year! All is yells, shrieks, and crys At this time o’ year! Excitement prevails and then dies. At this time o’ year! The batter knocks ’em over the fence. At this time o’ year! The umpire seems to be very dense. At this time o’ year! There’s something you hear from morn’ till night. At this time o’ year! For the baseball season has turned out aright. At this time o’ year! • LA RT-TAMA! 1 9 2 mini ih LA RE-TAMA £ 1 1 93 -f TRACK -A This season was another successful one for us in I rack. Although we did not take the majority of the honors at the meet with Main, we certainly let them know that we were there. Much of the material with which Coach Lakey lias had to deal this season has been “green”. We are confident that the team that will represent Brackenridge next year will find little trouble in “copping” the honors. The reason for our confidence is that many of the men that stepped into the limelight this season will be with us again next season. Captain Oban, our discus heaver, found little opposition in the men he went against. He always defeated his opponent by a good distance, and, as he will be back again next season, we can depend on his winning the discus throw. Tillinghast, who starred this year has yet several years before he leaves as. With Tillinghast, Urban, Van Bain, and many of the other stars back again, we can surely expect a winning team. 1 94 Jump piigh , tom GLEN TlLimGHAST THE HIGH-’POlliT MAN “A FLYING LEAP -JACK HOPEUTS I • L ABDs amA; 1 95 LA W R I :NCE URBAN—Caplain This is the second year that our l i r captain has performed for Brackenridge on the track field. “Vie” is undoubtedly the best discus thrower in these parts and there are very few higli school lads that can come near to his mark, lie also “heaves” the “shot” for a distance that is hard to surpass. Captain “Vie” always had his men out and working hard and lie certainly set a good example to his men, because “Vic” was one of the hardest trainers on the track team. GLEN TILLINGHAST Tillinghast was the best all-round man on the team this year. 11 is form in hurdling was the best, and to say that he flew over them would .just be putting it mildly. Glen is also a pole vaulter and broad jumper that is hard to beat. Briefly, be is a naturally good track man, and it is upon him that we build our hopes for next season. TOM MASSY Tom cleared the bar at about five feet, six inches, lie was a hard trainer in practice and a point getter in the meets. Tom held his own against the best of them, and you could always depend on him to clear the bar just a little higher than his opponent. •TACK ROBERTS Jack was one of our pole vaulters this season. He made a good showing this year, but we expect even a better showing next year. Jack can undoubtedly get up into the air, so peep your eye on him next season because he says he means business. JESSE DUNN Jesse makes the half mile in 4-4. ) flat. lie is sure that in several years he will be a real “champ” on the track, and we do not doubt him. In the Main-B. II. S. meet he made an exhibition run and proved to the spectators that lie has made a good start toward being a champion.

THE EVOLUTION OF A SENIOR A A Johnie Reflambo Bigboob Alagack was a Freshie in Brack with a head like a tack. He took seven subjects with Glee Club and drill. With a uniform on he looked just like a pill. lie handles a gun like an ant handles rock. He marched like a jailbirl and ran like a clock. The teachers all said. He's as cute as can be.” But teachers don’t know all as seniors can see. He sang with the Glee Club at all of their shows. His voice sounds just like the wind when it blows. He knew Ancient History from the cave man to Nero, But if brain work was temerature. his would be zero. Now this is the Freshie you see very often. As years pass you notice his manners all soften. We now take the Freshie when he is a Soph. Hike all Jellybeans he’s developed a cough. Ho notices more all the girls in the school. And caters to those who are cute, as a rule. He stops on your heel when you walk down the hall. Tou sure would displace him if he wasn’t so small. Ho comes into class about three minutes late. And considers it all as a matter of fate. He studies much loss than ho used to by far. In more concise terms he has lowered his par. And this is the Sophomore we all know so well. How he will change, you never can toll. We now take the Sophomore when he is a Junior, And of all high school life this is the noon year. He’s wild about girls, but they're not wild fpr him. They now go with Seniors, and his chances are slim. He wears the split tnyusers .and pastes down his hair. He powders his face and looks just like a bear. He struts into class with his head in the air. And said that the six on his card wasn’t fair. His grades have all dropped and have ruined his report. He thinks that to studying he’ll have to resort. He claims that the jokes that come out in the Times” Were old when the U. S. A. created dimes. You never can tell what he’ll make on a test. It all depends on who’s in front of his desk. This is the Junior and they’re nothing more. He's three times a Freshie. not a Senior by far. Bam! there’s a noise from the Times” office come. Hush! lie’s a Senior; don’t call him a bum. He just threw a chair and broke it, that’s all. And threw a fresh Junior way out in the hall. There’s plenty more chairs where that one came from. So Juniors behave or they’ll make a few hum. The Times” office is just chuck plumb full of dangers. To make the place safe would require ten Hangers. Keeping a girl is the Senior’s big problem. It’s not very long before somebody robs him. The real downright Senior cuts half of his classes. (lets down on his knees, and prays that the passes. He studies so seldom it’s not worth a mention. His grades come out bad, but In had good intentions. He is very sarcastic and has too much nerve. He likes to get credit that others deserve. At meetings he trys to be heard for a mile. And oft times his manners become very vile. He joins seven clubs just to wear all the pins. If jewlery was fishes, he’d be a fish fin. This is the Senior that Freshies all make. Now work you poor Fish, and then you'll take the cake. facina Pefeat In Dutch Uf mth« Clowds VihaX y they Cost Vou, Rub y ? Loohinf For Honest •SOAP LA RJ-TAMAi 4 207 V.

And for these few who still Remain, in an illustrated rhyme, We’ll do our best to show to You their never failing shine. First we’ll take the Flapper And in only twelve short lines, We’ll do our best to show you Where this little lady shines. When the wind against the face Of any Flapper blows, It takes away the powder And leaves a shiny nose. The Flapper that’s professional Will do all 1o lure the males. She'll stay up late into the night And try to shine her nails. 208 SHINE (Continued) The Flapper can do many tiling-;. The ways are her’s to choose; For instance take the funny Way that most will shine their shoes. We’ll turn now to the Jellybean, A down right shiny kid. The next four lines will tell you What is underneath his lid. Stacomb is the middle name Of every Jellybean, It makes his hair real shiny And it makes his hair look keen. A Jellybean’s a fellow that Always wastes his time, And when he stoops for hankerchiefs Ilis well pressed trousers shine.

MAY 30. 1923 NO. 99 BRACKENRIDGE DEFEATS MAIN Most Interesting Game of Season CADETS TO HAVE COMPETITIVE DRILL In one of the most interesting and I perfctly played games of the season, j Brackenridge defeated Main Avenue by a score of forty-nine to nothing. The game was played at the Pigeon Field. Promptly at three o’clock the gates were opened and the spectators from both schools filed in decorously and took their seats. At three-thirty the referee stood in the middle of the field and with his megaphone requested that absolute quiet be maintained throughout the game. This was received on both sides by much handclapping. The referee blew his whistle and inquired, “Brackenridge ready?” “Yes, yes. indeed”, replied our doughty captain, Archibald Everett Johnson, pleasently. “Main ready?” “Even so”, the answer was wafted back on the gentle breeze. The referee blew his whistle again. There was the sound of a kick and then the ball was seen floating lazily up among the clouds. Presently, “as a feather wafted downward by an eagle in its flight”, it nestled to rest in the arms of a Main Avenue man like a baby in its cradle. The Main man dusted the ball off carefully, tucked serenely under his arms, took a good deep breath, and then started off at a lively trot in the general direction of the goal. The game continued in sprighty fashion until the beginning of the second half when Brackenridge made a goal. At this juncture a young Sophomore from Brackenridge was indiscreet enough to rise from his seat and exclaim, “Hurray!” so that is could be heard all over the grandstand. Everyone was shocked. The game was stopped until the young scapegrace could be ejected from the field. The most thrilling incident of the game occurred when Whitney, the Brackenridge half back, who was carrying the ball down the side lines, ran against a Main player and jostled him considerably. Whitney immediately stopped and appologized profusely. At this the enthusiasm of the spectators could be controlled no longer. Loud hand clapping was heard on both sides. When Whitney had finished his apology he continued his run down the field to the goal. It is said that never has such an exhibition of courtesy been displayed on a local field. The game ended and the score keepers announced that they had not been able to keep account of the score. They thought that Brackenridge had won by a score of forty-seven to nothing. Loud applause was heard from the Main Avenue ranks, but the Brackenridgers displayed their great modesty by remaining silent. After the game everyone gathered around the piano and sang “Blest Be the Tie That Binds” under the leadership of the Main Avenue yell leader. And the sun went down, and the shadows gathered falling like a benediction upon that vast multitude there in the silence. And two by two the crowd dispersed. There came into each one’s heart that this was genuine sportsmanship. The B. H. S. Cadets are going to show their mettle Friday afternoon when they intend to out-drill the Boy Scouts for a brass teaspoon. The Major has been drilling his dummies for weeks, but all he ever strikes is sand. Two of the best companies have been picked and have so far learned the manual of arms almost to perfection. They have been instructed to wear their gunny sacks Friday. All the men have been provided with shoes and buttonholes. All that remains to be done is to sew some cloth around the holes for shirts. The Boy Scouts are in first class con-; dition and they can shove their air-rifles for a block of Bohemian nightmares. All those unable to ride on the street cars will be brought over in baby carriages. This event promises to be one of the largest of the year. Tea and cake will be served “a la cheese crackers” and the Glee Club will give a selection from a pan of barley soup. The barley will give the effect of quivering and the result will be a flock of mocking birds. The Orchestra has promised to give a few screeches to discourage the Boy Scouts. The public speaking classes will give a one act play entitled “The Tin Cup.” It was hard to handle but was finally mastered. Come out and support your Major.

I do not think it obligatory that I should define nothing for you as you as intelligent readers, should already know. My object in writing on this is dual. First, to bring home to you that no matter how small a thing is it is something, even if it is nothing. My second reason I will give later. If a man be perspicarious and from his perspicariousness be turned insane, it is something. Yet there is nothing in his head. His insanity may affect many people. Therefore, his state of nothingness is something. Finally, nothing is something. So, even though a thing be so small that it is nothing still it is something. My second reason for writing this is of more importance. I had nothing to fill this space with, but something was necessary. I wrote on Nothing and since nothing is something I have written on something although I have written on Nothing. GOOD BOOK WEEK Miss Butler, in an interview with our foreign correspondent, has benefited Brackenridge in the way of suggestions. She has collected, computed, compiled, and in short made a list of the most elevating, long lived, and plain spoken novels, short storlefc, magazines, newspapers, pamphlets, timetables, periodicals, and books: also pubications and printed matter. Among the most elevating novels are: “Charles Rex by Ethel M. Dell, “Dere Bill and Dere Mabel” by Streeter, and the “Sheik” by E. M. Hull. The best short stories have been ranked in this order: “The Leather Pushers” by H. C. Witwer, “Dancers in the Dark” by Dorothy Speare, and “S. 0. S.” by Soupy McFadden. For weeks Miss Butler’s mind was in a state of dynamic equilibrium before she could decide which magazines were the best. She finally ranked them thusly: “Snappy Stories”, “Top Notch” and the “Argosy”. Among the most reliable papers were: the noon edition of the San Antonio Evening News, the afternoon edition of the San Antonio Evening News, and the night edition of the San Antonio Evening News. The pamphlets whose esteem affected a raise in the purchase price are as follows: “Strikers Bulletins”, Numbers 3 and 4, of May 9th and 10th. 1922; Kress’s lace sale pamphlets; and Dr. Gauche’s Weather Almanac. Miss Butler has confidence in all railroad time tables except the ones used by the Sap. She makes her own time tables by the use of her incomplete knowledge of astronomy.

BRACKENRIDGE TIMES AUNT JEMIMA'S QUESTION BOX (For Curious Cats) Charles Beloate: The following re- cipe has been found of value in removing surplus flesh: Watermelon Rind, grated, 27 pounds. White bark, 1 peck. Thumb tacks, sufficient to make a thin batter. Quinine to taste. Beat to a froth, and take at night before retiring. This mixture is guaranteed to reduce the weight three pounds a week, and to remove all freckles from the nose. Beverly Caldwell: As to the cranial enlargements from which you are suffering, I will say that this need cause you very little worry. If it does not get better soon I would advise that you consult Mr. Bernard Segal every day for a few months. Perhaps he could give some helpful suggestions. John Delmar: I am indeed worried to hear that you are troubled by that “tired feeling’’. It might be caused by many things, such as, hay fever, sore-throat, or melancholia. I have even heard of some people being “born tired’’, but I am sure yours is due to strenous and continuous mental and physical labor. Take my advice and be careful of your diet, take plenty of exercise, and do not spend your time studying and worrying so much. Do not rise earlier than five o’clock in the morning and avoid all anxiety and mental strain. Claire Ewing: You asked for the interpretation of the scriptural passage, “Flesh and blood shall not inherit the kingdom of heaven.” It is not necessary to do this since I do not think this passage would apply to you. Nothing is said concerning skin and bones. PUZZLE The street was three blocks long. In the middle of the right hand end, in getting off the street car passing by that end, is a tall mesquite tree that has just been chopped down. Three feet in one direction and six inches in the opposite direction is the same tree after having been felled. This point on the tree is three feet and two inches up the original tree if it had been standing, (in falling it had jumped four inches).

JAZZ ORCHESTRA PLAYS The swellest jazz orchestra that ever reflected foot lights in Stacombed heads played before the largest collection of victims ever known to sit and stand (mostly stand) in the Brackenridge High School Auditorium. The orchestra consists of a pianola played by “Big” Feate, a victrola played by “Stubby” Needl, a sexonete played by Gosh, a bango played by Heck, and a drum played by Ree Quest. Several of the latest pieces were slaughtered, but the biggest hit was— “My Girl Is Like A Race Horse— She Runs For Stakes.” It was some hit. When the bangoist got all the tomato out of his ear a few more selections were suffered. This jazz orchestra was organized last spring for the purpose of running the boll weevils out of the cotten raised by the botany classes. The experiment was a great success and will shortly be taken up by the Department of Agriculture. Remember, if you ever need an orchestra for dances, parties, funerals, vodvils, parades, elections, or hangings. be sure and call on the jazzes za.

This club was organized in 1917, but due to the fact that it interfered with the war then in progress it dissolved itself and has just resumed its meetings. The object of this club is to further the belief in the Sardinian Theory of Revolution, which states that the emotions expressed on a countenance are reflected in the actions of the beholders of that countenance. In English it means that the man who can control his emotions will succeed. The name of this club must be attributed to the eminent foot specialist. Count I)e Bozo, who has been countin' his pennies since a boy and who is still countin’. The name “I Beta Flunka is a combination of Chinese and Scandinavian while the club itself is a Greek society. This name was chosen because, in combination with the Sardinian Theory of Revolution, it is possible to succeed while your conscience forces you to believe that you should have f liled. In introducing our members it would be fitting to first introdlce Madam Skidikidinki. who as a girl washed clothes in the basement of the Hotel Paree in Paris, ami who has now worked herself up to the third floor, where she washes windows. Professor Capusgownus has for the last fourteen years taught in the Oxford Uiversity of Sandels. and has made a collection of hat pins from different nations, which he intends to have placed in his tomb when he perishes. Shanghai Susie was born in Poland across the street from the Yellow Moon Laundry. Here she was taught to always be neat. Hence, her occupation of travelling in the interest of Palm Olive soap. Aggrivatin' Annie has won fame in the society world as the champion heartbreaker. She has made her fortune posing for pictures used in advertising The Skin You Love to Touch , Aunt Jemima's Pancake Flolr , et cetera. La Artista Junka's artistic qualities were instilled within him from his beautiful surroundings in Starvation Court situated in the east side of New York City. He has soent six hundred and eighty-five dollars and thirteen cents travelling over Texas in search of a field of Bluebonnets and at hist found a patch. He took one home, and copied it six thousand times on a piece of canvass. The result gave an impression of a field of Bluebonnets. Judge M. Hard has been very successful as a mechanic in Smith's Garage ami has raked up the pretence for which the club exists. The picture shown is not one of recent date, hut shows tin mighty fish dealer in his youth while attending the University of Rambovo at Slapadonkey. La Sheik has just returned from Alaska where he has been studying the effect of Coca-Colas on Eskimoes and reindeer. He has brought lack with him much knowledge, which he intends to contribute to science. His name will go down in the history of science, and down, and down, and down. Baby Blue Eyes is fresh from the country, and has universally been proclained fresh. She has been admitted into the society on the strength of her teeth, which though incomplete, are the best that the dentist. Lot M. Yell, could provide. Her large blue eyes are very affecionatc and noticeable. She has had the honor of playing a prominent part in the motion picture. East Is West. Syncopatin' Sophie is just like a ship. Her life has been one of ups and downs. She got her job as an elevator girl in Hotel Crusty through the influence of a .44. She used the same influence to be admitted into the I Beta Elunka’s” We are very fortunate in having such a go-getter in our society as our funds are running low. g LARbtamA 218 fERN BONITA AMERICA ALENE MARGARET KATHLEEN VESTA HELENA DOR 15 JULICTTE Ruth EUELEONE LA RbtaMA 219 220 22 1 I. An impression of a student after taking one glance at his report card. The neck is that part of the picture due north of the soft collar, which is hidden by the magnitude of the bow tie. Immediately below the supposed elbow, which occupies the valley between the bluff and the temple across the valley, is the nose. Right away below the nose is the mouth The head is the huge desert northwest of the most southerly part of the mouth. II. An impression of a student after cutting class. The elipse is used as the mouth in this case, with curved vinculum to the northwest for a nose. The peninsulas east and west of the body are hands. The object of having the hands in the position shown, can be readily understood if the reader will attempt to cut classes. III. An impression of a senior girl after a senior boy has asked her for a date. The most impressive thing is the position of the mouth, which resembles in everything but magnitude, a mammoth cave. Across the country toward the northeastern shore is a hand. If it is the left, the method of approach was around the north cape. The speed way running southeast is the neck. IV. An impression of a boy after being hit by a paper wad. The figure six serves as both mouth and nose, although, if a shoe had'to be fitted to the bulk, it would take a size nine. The hook right below the paper wad is supposed to be an ear. It is one. Kind the eyes for yourself. V. An impression of a senior girl preparing to paint her lips. The lips are either hidden by the f ft cheek or have been left out entirely. VI. An impression of Miss Butler with her beads on. In the colder regions can be distinguished a brush, which on close examination turns out to be hair. As soon as possible under the hair can be seen the warmer regions of the ears. The rest of the face is included within the rectangle. LA RJtTAMAI 4 222 223 LAMXAMA r Su lie y qy A Clam The Devi!} It's Theo.

Then came the war and something deepened in us and we were drawn closer together as teachers and students. And we worked together and wrought well. Now as we look back over these six years, we see much in our activities that we would like to preserve. So we have taken out a page here and there from our past and put it in this section. But at the same time, we would commemorate here not only what we have accomplished but also those who have aided in the accomplishment. activities have succeeded, our school has been built up as it has because of tin public spirited support and cooperation of the business men of Ban Antonio. Time and again they have given to us when it meant no monetary return to them. It has been their free will offering to the chi'dren of Ban Antonio. We thank them and we hope that they have been and are building even better than they know’. U 3 I 2 32 The Saul Wolfson Dry Goods Co., Inc. Winner in June ’23 Style Show There were at least two hundred of us—every one of us girls; and every one, from the tall dignified person down to the wee adorable little girl, was intent on graduating. Then, too, you know that the only common point of interest to every type of girl is that of clothes. Of course, every one had to have a white organdy graduation dress; and for our commencement Sunday, we had decided upon voile in the sweet pea shades. There was also the question of hose, shoes, and other accessories to be settled. So we met to decide it all one Tuesday afternoon. We took our seats, and sat up straight; put on our most intelligent looks; and, in spite of a giggle from the wee adorable girl at the solemnity, the discussion was opened which was to settle for ever more, the momentous question as to where we should buy the all important wardrobe. It was a regular style show. All the leading merchants of the city had sent out a display of their wares. They had vied with each other in quality and prices, but no mark or tag gave hint as to whence the beautiful fabrics came. No one knew the winner until the final vote was taken and the number drawn from the sealed envelope disclosed the name of THE SAUL WOLFSON DRV GOODS CO.. INC. ' ’ ' ’ 1 furnished the prettiest material and the best prices. This decision was unanimous and the pictures on the opposite page will show that we made no mistake in our choice. To future classes we would recommend this firm as ranking first in courtesy, prices, quality and service. TRAVIS 1390 New Mirrors To Order Old Mirrors Resilvered r€Aafr.

When we have denied ourselves luxuries— perhaps comforts—to save money, we are entitled to a profit on our savings. We are entitled to the highest rate of interest consistent with safety, but many of us are so busy that we cannot hunt up investments that are both safe and profitable. Someone must do it for us or we must take a very small profit. The choosing and handling of such investments constitutes a business in itself, requiring thorough knowledge and keen foresight as well as the utmost caution. WHO GUARDS YOUR INTERESTS? Perhaps YOl’K work prevents your personal supervision of vour investments. Our business is to help. You can secure the services of a group of specially trained men to assist you in selecting your investments and to handle all the details for you. For years this company has helped hundreds of satisfied customers with their investment problems. We always have on hand high class first mortgage loans on improved San Antonio real estate, which will net 7 per cent per annum. We handle all collections and guarantee the ultimate collection of both principal and interest. Don’t be content with a lower rate of interest. Como in and talk to us or write us.

It offers greater opportunities for advancement than any other line of work, not excluding the more popular professions. Our big business men—corporation heads, bank presidents, financiers, capitalists, and philanthropists—are, in the majority of cases, men who began their careers as bookkeepers, stenographers, accountants, private secretaries, hank clerks, and the like.
