To these builders of the past whose genius in art and design has inspired this book, we, the Senior (pkus, dedicate the 1927 La l etama. Our homestead Our work has created a homestead; Each curve and each spire is a heart. To create something living from that which is dead Has absorbed from each worker a part. Indestructible now is our Temple We’ve made it forever to stand; It rose from our trial and trouble Like the clay in a potter’s skilled hand. It is not that our delving has beauty, Beyond that of the masters of yore, But each worker has stood at his duty; Not even our masters did more. If fire should destroy it tomorrow, No eye, then, upon it could gaze Though the hearts of ten thousand would sorrow And a million should witness the blaze. But each heart that had bled to adorn it Would cherish its memory still; Back to it oft would their spirit-eyes flit; A blank in each life would it fill. —Frederick Hardman. ‘Welcome to ‘tBrackenridge. Snter by the eJVlorning Qlory 'Driven HDream by its banks•— t urn at the corner TLAUIZCALPAN Qod of the dooming Star u)Ul • • • «« TO THE SENIOR CLASS: As members of the great social group which makes up local, state, national, and world communities, we ought to be well informed, tolerant, and appreciative. We must have a right attitude toward, and respect for, the feelings and beliefs of others. Enmities and dislikes are usually the result of misunderstandings. Intolerance and ignorance are closely akin. Our happiness and success depend in some measure upon the way we meet others. Understanding and tolerance are the oils which keep the social machine running smoothly. If you have acquired these two social and civic assets, then indeed your school training has been of incalculable value to you and to the state: to you because your happiness and success are assured; to the state because only such an education of its citizens can safeguard its existence as a democracy. Your friend, Superintendent. Twenty-four TO THE SENIOR CLASS: ' °u arc leaving Brackenridge: some to take your places at once in society, olhers to make further preparations for life by attending higher institutions of learning. Most oi you will eventually become leaders in some community, for you represent, to a great extent, the survival of the fittest. You have finished your course, while each year has seen numbers of your comrades fall by the wayside. You have made a record in scholarship that will be difficult for other students to surpass, but show the world that your high school training has meant more than mere scholastic attainment, by taking your places as leaders and organizers. Above all, show the world what fine men and women you are by living clean lives. 1 have faith in you always to stand for the best. Your friend, Principal. Twenty-five Your ways, henceforth, will be separate. May those of you who go to college fiiul your training in Brackenridge High School an aid and a blessing! And may your achievements bring honor to your sehool. Others of you will plunge into the sharper competition and strife of adult life. Wherever you find yourself, field or factory, bank or farm, be sure to hold on to the Brackenridge spirit. Fight square, but give them all you have in strength and courage and heart. “Heads up!” is an excellent watchword. I wish for you a future record that will reflect honor and glory both upon yourselves, as individuals, and upon the school as a whole. Your friend, Vice-Principal. Twenty-six TO THE SENIOR CLASS: My message to you is choose a worthy vocation. Many of you have not decided what you want to be or what you can be. In fact, you might enter any one of a number of vocations, for the doors of opportunity are all open. Later these doors close one by one and your choice, your time for preparation, and your length of service to the world are limited. “Happy is the youth who takes charge of his life in time, makes worthwhile decisions about loyalties, purposes, and ambitions that shall control him, finds his life work in the world and masters it!” Your friend and sponsor, U IT ?M£r Dean of Girls.

Our cPalaces The Aztecs built their palaces With intricate design And garnished them with faces; Some were frowning, some benign. But these mystic Aztec structures Crumbled long ago in dust, Remain but ruins for conjecture, While building new ones is our trust. No fairy temples have we made, Hallucinations bring no fame; Instead, a solid rock we laid Forevermore to be the same. Thus progressing, we remember A foundation means a start; From our .May until December From labor must we ne’er depart. Our castles must be better, Rearing upward toward the skies, Breaking loose from human fetter, We shall make new castles rise. So, to life’s eternal motion We’ll contribute soon our share; We have laid a great foundation On which to build a palace rare. —Frederick Hardman. Thirty-five 10 RGT0M9 1927 Senior Qlass r T_ IIE history of the Seniors of ’27 begins in October when they showed their VJy initiative by being the first Junior Class to organize. As Juniors their highest hopes of success were gratified. Their magazine, The Round-Up, placed in the state contest. Socially, they were also a success. When in September of 1926 they returned, they elected their officers and again continued their climb upward with their same sponsors, Miss Lois Ellett, Miss Ollie Stratton, and Miss Florence Allem. In this election Arthur Goldschmidt was elected President for a third time. The other officers were: Dorothy Lee Gill, Vice-President; Bluford Roselle, Secretary; Ethel Shane, Treasurer; and William Miller, Reporter. With these officers to lead them, and their experience as a Junior Class to help them, they began their career as a Senior Class with great enthusiasm. Their first social event was the Senior Carnival on December 10. Every senior had been working for its success since early in November. When it came, it surpassed all their expectations. The Recreation Room, the front lobby, the cafeteria, and room 236 had been transformed into places for merriment. The teacher’s cafeteria changed in a day to a shooting gallery. Gay booths and sideshows were everywhere. After the visitors had patronized the circus, the sideshows, and booths, an informal dance was enjoyed in the cafeteria. In the early part of January the Seniors’ prayer for a midterm dance was answered; and, as a result, on January 24, room 111 was transformed into a fairy land by the decorating committee. The class colors, rose and silver, were used for decoration. The club pennants on the walls made an interesting setting for the merrymaking. Confetti—St. Louis Blues—the grand march—all were part of the most successful Senior dance given in Brackenridge. February brought an enterprise in which the seniors used all their energy. This was the gymnasium benefit performance at the Texas. Hardly was this excitement over when Brackenridge was all agog over the Favorites’ election for the annual. In May the seniors will show their originality again by observing Baccalaureate Sunday as Purple and White Day at the Municipal Auditorium, this being the first class to use the auditorium for Commencement Sermon. The graduation exercises and Alumni Banquet will mark the end of a most successful school career.

Eighty-two SB Junior Qlass present Junior class of Brackenridge High School made its debut v_ while yet a Freshman class by originating the idea of Sophomore organization. From that time to the present it has been most successful. Activities began September, 192G, when the members, full of enthusiasm were called together for election of officers. Results showed that the major offices had been carried away by girls. These officers who guided the Juniors through the first term with great efficiency were: President, Edna Lewis; Vice-President, Frances Stephens; Secretary, Elizabeth Brother; Treasurer, Cecilia Miller: Parliamentarian, Jay Sam Levey; Reporter, .Maxine Krakauer, and Sergeants-at-Arms, Edgar Pfcil and Roy Moody. Miss Christine Lawrence and Mrs. Elsa Sehlochauer were elected sponsors of the class. November IS was the occasion of a brilliant social event sponsored by the Juniors. The Recreation Room, decorated for Thanksgiving, was the setting of a masquerade party. The syncopating music of a jazz orchestra served as a background for the entertainment of the guests, who danced and played games. The spirit of the class has been exceptional this year. Greater interest has been shown by a majority of the members, and the attendance has been very good. The pep of this group was especially shown in promoting the sale of tickets for the Brackenridge gymnasium fund. The Juniors felt quite proud of the fact that one of their members sold 100 tickets, and they gave the Seniors keen competition in supporting their candidate, Wilma Wells, for the Dallas Convention. Not only have they excelled in this line, but the scholarship also has been exceedingly high. One of the students, Jay Sam Levey, received the highest average in the school the first term. Another great success has been the Brackenridge Round-Up, sponsored by the ’28 class. The last issue was published entirely without financial aid from advertisements. The 1027 election of officers took place with these results: President, Jay Sam Levey; Vice-President. Wilma Wells; Secretary, Elizabeth Brother; Treasurer, Nelda Porter; Parliamentarian, Carter Johnston; Reporter, Meryl Yarbrough; and Sergeants-at-Arms, Gordon Edge and Dorothy Hill. Under the guidance of Miss Lawrence and Mrs. Sehlochauer, who have been enthusiastic, capable leaders, the Junior class of Brackenridge High School hopes to progress even more in the future than it has in. the past.

If we have done this, our success is due to the co-operation of all the departments of Brackenridgc High School and to the many friends of the staff. To Mr. J. C.

The Brackenridge members were: Effred Schmidt, Clyde Wilkenson, Henry Ford, Hansel Wells, Edward Besse, Jr. By making a total score of 868, these boys won the San Antonio Express challenge cup. Henry Ford won the individual eup offered by the San Antonio Evening News for the highest score; and each boy on the team won a medal. Another Notable achievement of the year was the organization of a forty-two piece Cadet band under the able supervision of Mr. Otto Zoeller. The band practiced from 7:30 until 8:15 in the morning and after school and performed in all parades and reviews. One Hundred Fifty-seven IQ RGTQMQ1927 1st Lt. H. Ford, Capt. E. Schmidt, 2nd Lt. C.

The game with Saint Mary’s Academy was the first game of the season for the Eagles, and they won by an overwhelming score of 36-0. “Hub” Friery proved himself the star of the game. Jones made a spectacular play by dashing back to the thirty yard line for a grounded punt and going back through the entire Saint Mary’s team for a touchdown. The next week the Eagles met Laredo High in San Antonio; although outweighed they got the large end of a 27-7 score. The Purple backs ripped up the Laredo line almost at will, but a few fumbles and muffs cost them possible scores. Tommy Birdwell fractured a small bone on bis wrist and was out until the Austin game. Collins, Birdwell, Rudy Davalos, Cullen, and McCalla played a wonderful game. The next week-end the Houston Tigers journeyed to San Antonio to tackle the Eagles, but the Eagles were again victorious. Howie was the star performer Capt. H. Friery W. Howie II. Myers R. Davalos One Hundred, Seventy-seven in the line. Rudy '' Davalos and Friery starred; Meyers recovered a Houston fumble for Brackenridge and got in the lime; they soon had to take him out and attend to the burns. A victory of 20-0 for the Eagles was the result of the game. The next week the Eagles met their first defeat of the season when Temple outplayed them 19-0. The ground was slippery after a light rain. Ilowle again came to the front. The aerial work and punting of Schull, Lee, and Easterly of Temple completely baffled the Eagle backfield. Rudy Davalos and Howie were the Brackenridge stars. The fifth game of the year was with Corpus Christi. The Buccaneers were outclassed, and outplayed in every play of the game. The Eagles’ passing game accounted for three of their touchdowns. Friery and Bob Davalos were the outstanding stars. That the team had improved since the Temple game was shown by a 38-0 score. October 29 they played the San Marcos Lobos in one of the hardest games of the season. The Eagles were outplayed for three quarters of the game; although each side came within a margin of scoring several times, the game 10 RGT0M01927 M V. Jaeggli T. Bi rd well O. Jones B.

On November 11, before a crowd registering ten thousand five hundred, Brackenridge was beaten by Main Avenue for ihe first time since 1022. The game was hard-fought, but the Eagles just could not score. They came within one yard of goal line in the first five minutes and it seemed a sure victory for Brackenridge, but through some misunderstanding the opportunity was lost, never to be regained. In the third quarter Main got to the thirty-yard line and Ransom kicked a goal making a score of 3-0. The Brackenridge Yell section was organized but the crowd did not get the benefit of it as it was on the wrong side of the field for this, but at the Austin game the public had ample opportunity for appreciating the good teamwork. The Brackenridge-Austin game was the most exciting of the season. The Eagles won 7-6. Frierv and Collins were out of the game from injuries. Rudy Davalos, Jones, Meyers, and Dueharme starred. Three days later the Eagles played Waco at League Park. Brackenridge One Hundred Seventy-nine IG RGTQMfl 1927 L. Ferguson M. Collins D. Rowan H.

Though unable to get many games for his team, Coach A. M. Venue put out a squad that gave the Eagles stiff opposition and came out victorious in the three games they played. They made their yearly trip to San Marcos where they trimmed the Academy Oublets 12 to 6. Then they came hack to heat the St. Mary’s Buttons 19 to 0 at Block Stadium, the home of the Braekenridge Eagles. After hard training and strenuous scrimmaging with the Eagles, the Kittens swamped Ilarlandalc 28 to 0, thus bringing to a close a successful season. The Wildcats are a very great help to the Eagles. They use the different plays that their opponents are to use in the next game, thus strengthening the Eagles’ defensive power. Among the good players who have been developed for next year are: Robert Oakley, Frank Lucchese, David Avila, and Lawrence Flynn. These hoys will probably prove valuable on the first team. One Hundred Eighty-one R. Davalos W.

With throe lettermen back on the team, the Eagles promised to be one of the strongest teams in the state meet. After playing several independent teams, Brackcnridge boys had their first big game when they played Main Avenue in the first game of the City Cage Title series. This game resulted in a victory for the Eagles. The second game tied the series, as Main Avenue won, but the Eagles came back to defeat Main in the last game for the City title. Brackenridge met with the same success in the district and bi-district meet, but lost to Denton in the state meet. Captain Hugh McMillan.

The cup given by the Lions Field League was won by Brackenridge last season. The two teams which were left to fight out the Championship were Main and Brackenridge, the old rivals. In the three game series, Brackenridge won two of the three hotly contested games. Besides the school team, the girls have organized two teams called the '‘Big Berthas” and the “Bearcats.” The “Big Berthas” team is made up of the large girls who came out for baseball practice while the “Bearcats” consists ot the smaller girls. These two teams will play exhibition games for Field Day. Interclass games are arousing great excitement; and the Sophomores are expected to win the Championship according to Miss Edith Wilkins, coach. One Hundred Eighty-nine IQ RGTQMQ 1927 Wilmuth Overstreet Ernestine Johnson Theresa Franks Imogene Beasley tennis ENNIS, always popular sport among the girls, rivals swimming as a sport at Brackenridge since it is now ranked as a major game and girls are allowed to make a letter in it. Prospects for city championship are good. Theresa Franks, a member of the team who represented the city in the district meet last year, is out for tennis again this season. Two of the ablest and most enthusiastic of the tennis contestants are Wilmuth Overstreet and Imogene Beasley, both recent recruits from Poe Junior School. Ernestine Johnson is also showing good form. One girl showing extraordinary skill, ability, and speed will be chosen to represent the school in the singles, and a team of two girls showing co-operation as well as ability will defend the title in the doubles. Brackenridge has to defeat her old time rival, Main Avenue, in order to go to the District meet. The girls have done this the past three years. Last year Kathleen Hinehcliff and Theresa Franks were defeated in the semi-finals at the District meet by the speedy San Marcos team, while Mary Howie was also defeated in the semi-finals. This year, however, the girls by constant practice, and with the efficient coaching of Miss Edith Wilkins expect to bring back state honors.

In order to get the points the girls must be able to swim in good form the American crawl, the side, back, and double over-arm strokes, tread water and float for one minute, and have fifteen practices of twenty minutes each. In the swimming meet with Main Avenue last spring, Brackenridge girls won first four places. They are expected to gain more honors this spring. Theresa Franks, Florence Eddleman, and Mable Morris are back in the race. These girls under the guidance of Miss Edith Wilkins are striving to carry Brackenridge through the meet with high honors.

COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER WITH Didst gaze into the lake today, and so did Arthurazguatlclin (Mama told me never to look to the right or left; so I looked in the lake; t’was most convenient). Arthurazguatlclin certainly looked birdy. He had on all his feathers. The uniform of the Aztekicadetis is a suit of feathers, you know. Ilis weapons looked kinda dangerous, but his eyes didn’t, that is, they looked rather watery— in the lake, of course. I Ihink (the emperor, my parental parent, says such a thing is impossible) but I did, that he was going to get flowery, but just then Irenehuatlwendland came up, (May her hair grow curly!) and I had to leave the lake. Last night being the feast of Tlezcatiploca, the emperor gave a feast. Just before, he asked which slave we wanted sacrificed. I suggested Irenehuatlwendland, and Mama thought it was a bright idea cause Irenehuatlwendland isn’t bad looking and the emperor likes nice looking girls to eat. Sat next to Arti at the festival. He asked me to call him Arti, and he’s going to call me Chrissie, isn’t that too romantic! Irenehuatlwendland was pretty good as she was, but would have been better with dumplings. Guess she won’t bother Arti and me at the lake anymore. T’m kinda sorry I’m a girl. I get tired of going to school and making scarfs for altars and tending fires at the temples, but then if 1 wasn’t a girl, Arti never would have looked at me like he did. After tending the fires at temple all day, I didn’t mind Arti’s smoking so much. I’m glad, though, that he didn’t smoke his pipe till after we’d eaten; otherwise Irenehuatlwendland would have tasted smoky. After we’d finished eating and had washed our teeth, we danced the latest dance, the Blacktochtlibottom dance. Mama told me later that it looked like a cock fight because Arti and all the other soldiers had on all their feathers. During the dance Arti lost one of his anklets, I’m going to use it for an earring. It weighs a pound, just the right weight for an ear or nose ring. Arti is so romantic; once he said, “Chrissie, as far as I’m concerned, you’re the snake’s tooth brush.” - WE DANCED THE LATEST DANCE, the Blacktochtlibottom - One Hundred Ninety-six IR RGTRMR 1927 - ARTI AND I HAD OUR FORTUNES TOLD - lie promised to make an image of me; he’s going to show it to me as soon as it’s made. Arti and I went to the Senior Carnival at the Brackenridgezahuate school last night. Arti and I had our fortunes told and the fortune teller told us a lot of bird stories. She said Arti and 1 would be thrown together a great deal in the near future; guess she was right ’cause when we tried to get into the circus, people fairly knocked us together. Arti brought me cold pups, and everything there was. Arti said he was getting bored the other day; so I guess he means to start a revolution soon, I hope so. He had a fight with Williamhuitzimillerzuma Friday and Willie looks nice and plump. If Arti kills Willie, maybe Arti’s father will give another banquet ; then Arti and I will get to dance again. Maybe Arti will introduce me to some of his friends too. 1 want to meet them before 1 decide whether or not I’ll make Arti propose to me. Arti just got back from a revolution he cooked up. He brought me back a head, but I didn’t like the color of its hair, and its nose was too small so I gave it back. Particular, that’s me all over. To make up for it, Arti gave me the image he’d made of me. He gave me three guesses as to what it was when he first gave it to me, and I guessed a rabbit for all three. Of course I knew what it was when Arti said it was a dear. The emperor got a pair of gold tipped sandals to-day, so I don’t guess Arti will propose or ask the emp's consent for a while, not till the gold toes wear off anyway. Guess the emperor knew his stuff when he bought the sandals cause Arti’s been getting rather previous lately. Arti’s been coming over almost once a week, isn’t that exciting! Of course the emp. has noticed it. I don’t think the emp. appreciates Arti, he said Arti looked like a weak minded insect, this makes me think the emp. don’t care for Arti, but I may be wrong. I saw Arti’s lieutenant the other day and he had on more anklets than Arti. I had been at the temple; so 1 didn’t have a bit of rougicochi-neal on. I wanted to make a good impression; so 1 bought a can of paint. V?’ One Hundred Ninety-seven ,0 RE' Oh, Ollin, I am so excited! Arti is bring- S’ ing his lieutenant over tonight. He must have noticed how pretty cochineal looks on my cheeks. My! I’m going to put on my new plaid bobby skirt, and waist, my gold collar, my gold earrings, and I’m going to put a wreath of flowers around my head, and of course, all my war paint. I’d better be putting some axle grease on my hair to make it look blacker and straighter. I bet I’ll be a wow! My skirt shows a bit of my ankle above my sandals, and so I’m going to wear Arti’s anklet, it will make my ankle look small. I heard that the Aztekicadetis are going to elect sponsors, and I’d give my eye teeth to be one. If Arti’s lieutenant likes me, maybe I’ll get to be a sponsor of his company. Well, they're gone. Oh, I’m just wild about Bobhillizuma, that’s Arti’s lieutenant. Oh, he’s so handsome! He looks like Huitzilopotchli, the war god. He had his helmet of feathers and gold on, a white dress, and his legs were painted black. He wore sandals just like mine! Half his face was painted blue because he wasn’t at war. Oh, he’s handsome! Why Arti looked like a Ozomantli beside him. He has the same long hooked nose, the big eyes, and big mouth of Huitzilopotchli! He can roll bis eyes too—once when Arti wasn’t in the room he told me my hair was as pretty as the tail of a Spaniard’s horse. I was so thrilled! He didn’t seem to mind my eyes either! I’ve been elected a sponsor of Arti’s company in the Aztekicadetis, I’m tickled to pieces! It just goes to show that it pays to buy a can of cochineal now and then. We’re going to have such cute uniforms! On our heads we’re going to wear the feathers of a parrot set on a cat’s mask; we’ll have on a gold waist, and feather skirt. The Aztkicadetis are going to give us a big dance, I hope Bobhillizuma will ask me to dance with him. Guess I’ll have to dance with Arti too, but my, Bobhillizuma is so much better looking! Why, all the girls would turn green if they saw that Bobhillizuma liked me best. All the girls are having their hair cut in front in scallops, it’s awfully daring but I think I’ll do it too One Hundred Ninety-eight for the dance. I don’t want to seem old fashioned. We had a fine time at the dance last night, I danced with Bobhillizuma quite a bit. He’s a peach of a dancer. We kept time together beautifully. Bobhillizuma gave me one of his anklets to wear. It’s bigger than Arti’s, and I like it lots better. Oh, My, so many things have happened lately. I didn’t have time to write them all. Bobhillizuma came to see me the other day, and we were getting along fine. If the emperor hadn’t interfered, I believe Bobhillizuma would have given me his gold collar. The emperor came in though and pretty soon he had ruined his gold tipped sandals forever. When lie started to kick Bobhillizuma, Bobhillizuma put his shield in back of him where he thought the emperor’s kick would land and when the emperor kicked, he knocked his gold toe off. I asked the emperor why he’d done it and he said Bobhillizuma was too canary. I guess he said this because Bobhillizuma happened to be holding my hand when the emperor came in. Bobhillizuma is mad at me now, so I resigned from being a sponsor of the Aztekieadetis. I don’t care. I didn’t like the big fish anyway. Arti came over, and I told him how the emperor had ruined his sandal. Arti asked me if the emperor could kick with his left foot and when I said no, he went in to the emperor and asked for my hand, so I guess I’ll be Mrs. Arti instead of Mrs. Bobhillizuma after all.
