The Spanish explorers, noticing that friendly Indians used the word Tejas when they met, took the word t ' ' o mean friend and called the territory where they found these tribes Teas Th h 3 . us t e name Texas originated from the idea of friendliness, which has remained one of the characteristics of the state, Editor-in-Chief . . .

Alonzo De Leon to destroy the French. The Spanish began establishing civil, military, and ecclesiastical settlements in 1690, most of the permanent missions being near San Antonio. Our Texas of today, a hundred years in the making, is a living monument to the vision and determination ot sturdy pioneer hearts. Future building will depend on the youth of today-the boys and girls of Brackenridge. There is still a frontier to conquer -- a frontier of opportunities. May the past serve as a challenge to push forward, and add yet greater glory to our lone-star state of Texas. 6. fl Q1 Pg 'Rt Of J tin-iiwflvu Qi Qt ? ,frff 2 'iw 'Q s- B ,, X X-,- X 4 ' 'ffm PT Q ,vga I 's i Tx 'N ,ri THE SCHOOL SCHOOL LIFE Administration Favorites - Features and Music, Press, and Stage Faculty Clubs R.

CLASSES ATHLETICS ICG ION Commemorating the hundredth anniversary of the freedom of Texas, the 1936 La Retama, is dedicated to one of our Brack- enridge teachers, Miss Adah Gibbons, who has fostered those same ideals of courage, unselfishness, and patriotic devotion to duty that motivated our early Texas heroes. We honor one who so ably holds to her vision of what the boys and girls of today can make of the Texas of tomorrow. 3 ,gg HS' xr Q. : If., .. . 4, fp '51 jo Ann Jones September 15, 1935 Thomas Alva Mccrary March 9, 1936 Mrs. Jesse Montgomery Abbott August 9, 1935 m im As We honor the memory of our Texas heroes in this our Centennial year so, too, let us honor the memory of our three departed friends, the two students who so early an- swered the call for service Beyond, and our teacher and comrade, who after a long lite of loyal devotion to duty enlists for yet greater service in the ranks ot her Master. ,wwf Z FRANCE 1685 - 1687 Men from the kingdoms across the seas Were lured to vast Texas by the desire for land and treasure. With permission from the French king to establish a colony at the mouth of the Mississippi, La Salle missed the objective on his second voyage and landed at Matagorda Bay, 1685. Here he built Ft. St. Louis and declared Texas under the French king. A TRIBUTE TO HEROES OF TEXAS I stood alone in the Alamo When all lout me had gone, The sun's last rays were sinking slow, And the day was nearly done. I thought I heard a whisper low, And turning quickly 'round, I saw a soldier standing there With sword point on the ground. His clothes were rough and fringed, His hat was big and wide, A pistol and a powder horn Were dangling from his side. I realized with a shudder That 'twas no human here, But I faced him resolutely, Without a touch of fear. 'Twas on this spot, the figure said, Some hundred years ago, That I drew a line with my sword point, While besieged by a threatening foe. I asked my men to step across, If they wished to tight with meg All chose to stay but one man, He took this chance to flee. We stayed and fought and died, he said, To aid our fellow man To fight for Texas liberty Against the Mexican. But our object was accomplished, Though our battle was not won, Ifnd the Lone Star State is free today, All threatening danger's gone. And then I was alone again, In the darkening Alamo, Convinced that Texas heroes bold To heaven surely go. -Edwin Fisk.

For two full weeks the seige was on, And all those inside knew For them all hope of life had gone- The fewest of the few. The cannon roared, the battle raged While yet remained the dew, That handful fought like wild beasts caged- The fewest of the few. The blood-red morning sun arose, And bloody they were, too, For they were corpses laid in rows- The fewest of the few. The infidel had conquered them, They'd lost the battle, true, But they'd a cause no force could stem- The fewest of the few. Their comrades throughout Texas heard, And vowed they'd still be true To that dear cause that they had spurred- The fewest of the few. They fought the foe, one man 'gainst three, And fought like lions, too, And gained a vengeful victory For the fewest of the few. I wonder now what hand has wrought, As by these walls I doze, The fewest men who ever fought For such a cause as those. -Charles Hucker Page 1 6 pq wk Q Q- fi 14 U' 7-0 RANSLE5 Administration anci Faculty I LP il ' - f ,gy ,.- 1 i ykf' f M V X 1 Q ff 2, , K- ina: X ' 5.1,-N --L, , X ight' 1' , ' i -4- . . f A ' 2 iiiulig m ,.. , . 1:1 -L l l - i-f i yi 'nf ,iii ' an A4 T' A it 1 , x 'i 'rx V Q il- I ii ' X L 1 , ' gi, I N I K K K K K ADMINISTRATION Enos G.

Wyneken, Dr. Mary King Robbie, Koger Stokes, R. L. Hogan, and Superintendent I. C. Cochran, many changes have been made to make Brackenridge better equipped to carry on its program of work. Besides beautifying the campus generally, additional ground was bought for use of the R.O.T.C. and athletic activities. New quarters for the band were provided, and a stage was built for the chorus room and one for dramatics classes. ' V' E.'e.-4.l!5Kc...:J'a f3'1:1,J.'Q SAL I. C. Cochran The girls were given more equipment and more adequate quarters for their physical education activities. The admin- istration offices were enlarged and re- arranged, and the auditorium had im- proved acoustic facilities installed. The high spot in the building program was the new cafeteria, modern in every detail and accommodating 500 students, and the en- larged library which now seats 250 stu- dents. The latest improvement is the woodwork shop which has been built in order to make such courses available for' the boys. We have been told that other improvements are planned for Bracken- ridge, and so, La Retama may have an- other interesting story to tell next year.

Portwood The organization of the San Antonio Public Schools is necessarily a bit com- plicated because of the large system it controls. For purposes of coordination, Mr. Thomas B. Portwood acts as Assistant Superintendent of the Senior Schools. Matters pertaining to the curricula are nec- essarily his primary concern and though students ol Brackenridge are not aware ol his work, his influence as an organizer and constructive critic is evidenced in the smoothly running cooperative part of the organization he represents. iTiLvi.Ql1,. . .. ' .. i .V Mr. Enos Gary Better known to us, of course, is our principal, Mr. Gary. To plan and direct the varied activities of a large city high school is not an easy task. It demands in- telligence and courage and an unsellish devotion to duty. Brackenridge, having an enrollment of nearly 2,0UO, presents numberless problems to its principal exe- cutive, and the indomitable and cheerful spirit with which Mr. Gary meets them all is a source of wonder to everyone and can inspiration to all as well. -' wcnz. :r, .ar:.:iw, .. gi ,. - 1-is -,.

Kay ln his arduous task as vice-principal and adviser oi boys, Mr. Kay brings to this work an earnestness of purpose that is probably the secret of his success. Be- cause of his understanding and tolerance, many boys are helped to adjust them- selves in their Way ot thinking and be- havior into a pattern far more attractive and beneficial both to themselves and to society. Thoroughly interested in Brack- enridge, Mr. Kay exerts an influence that is far reaching and effective. Miss Viola Moore lt has been said that to have a friend one must be a friend. If this be true, and We do not gainsay it, Miss Moore must have a legion oi friends. Ever alert to the needs oi students, Whether in solving per- sonal problems, or in the Way of program- making, there is always the desire to help, and to send out students well equipped mentally, morally, and physically, to play a useful part in lite. u 1-V sywsitf5Elias4?3Icf2'f5?f-?i2rmcs:SfiET5Twi',Qz'i'iftf6m 1g?S1F33FT:K?2w.i5V512Ii,niif iZ'-.i3F.2'3X7Ei53.

Anglo-American attempts to settlevin Texas had already begun when Mexico gained its independence from Spain in 1821. Texas Was then governed as a part ot Mexico. There were natural differences between the Mexicans and the Anglo-American settlers. When Mexican rule became intolerable to the Texans, they made their heroic struggle for independence. -nw-'ff-w SENIOR CLASS OF 1936 The present senior class has at last reached the l93G goal-post. During our three year stay we have endeavored to uphold the high ideals of Brackenridge. With the able leadership of our sponsors, Miss Christine Lawrence, Miss Elsa Burg, and Major B. I. Reilly, we feel some pride in the thought that we have accomplished our aim to a satisfactory degree. A Sport Prom, held in the brightly decorated boys' gymnasium of Brackenridge High School, was the first social event of the year l935-36. Delightful music was furnished by lohnny Fielder and his orchestra. There was a very gay crowd present, and it seemed to be a night of fun and frolic for all. instead of giving a carnival, with various booths, as has been done previously, the seniors gave a jamboree, with a dance after the coronation of the king and queen. The theme of the coronation was an Arabian court. Twenty-four dukes and duchesses, and train bearers, all in brightly-colored Arabian costumes helped make it a more spectacular and colorful event than any of its kind in many years. On February 28, a Leap Year Dance was given in the cafeteria. At this dance the fairer sex had full sway. They made the date, bought the bid, and did the cutting. This gala event proved to be one of the most outstanding and unique of the year. The successful candidates to La Retama's Hall of Fame were announced at this dance. On April Fool Day the annual senior picnic was held at Brackenridge Park. The half-day holiday allowed the seniors was, of course, eagerly taken advantage of. All worries and studies were seemingly forgotten and the otherwise sedate and dignified seniors acted like children. lt is not likely that any of them will ever forget this enjoyable afternoon. To conclude the social events of the season another dance was held in spring. Then with the coming of May and approach of commencement, all hearts were gladdened with the thought of teas, dances, and the like. The biggest and happiest event of all, of course, was the commencement sermon and the graduation exercises. Hearts were both light and heavy at this event, for the graduate is left with the feeling that the happiest days of his life are over. -Martha McGee, Historian.

Page 51 CENTENNIAL NIGHT The Governor's patriotic voice Drones near the portals grim. The stand is filled with speakers choice To tell of heroes-honor them. A bustling crowd is trampling down The shrubs and grass and foliage green Which grow in ground so drenched with blood Of martyrs dead and now unseen. Some few do laugh- most idle brains! They're here for merriment or gain, And not in tribute to heroes slain. If you, the dead, could only speak, l'm sure you'd bid the masses go, To leave the fort so desolate Where you in silence meditate. The stars of heaven shine so bright, The moon is high - enchanting night. I wonder if 'twas like that then- Before the seige was to begin. And if it Was, so surely then It eased your troubled hearts within The breasts that, ere you freedom gained, must First receive the bayonet thrust. II. Now as I stand and view the crowd, With tribute strong and guns so loud, My mind sways back to days of yore- A full one hundred years before, When they below the Rio Grande Ruled o'er this land with tyrant's hand. And when the Texans dared protest They sent their men with mighty gest To crush the few who gathered here Who paid their lives for freedom dear. And as we gather here tonight, So gathered the Mexicans to fight Good Travis and his hardy men Who dared the Alamo defend. They were outnumbered ten to one- The battle they could ne'er have won. They did not flinch nor did they cower, But fought like demons hour on hour Until at Santa Anna's feet, Tho dead, were victors in defeat. -Glenn Mattox Page 5 9 JUNIOR CLASS OF 1936 As historian of the junior Class of l936, I take great pleasure in recording some of its history. If you think that I am going to say that our junior class is the best Brackenridge has ever had, you are right, because we do feel that we are the best. In the two years that the members of our class have been in Brackenridge they have achieved many honors for them- selves and their school. We can, for example, boast of having approximately fifty members of the English Honor Society, and also of a good representation in the Interscholastic Con- test. Roy Swayze, the extempore speaker, Edna La Verne Wolverton, declaimer, and Harold Alberts, debater, all city winners, are members of our class. We also were well represented in football, having George Grossenbacher, jack Kraus, Harry Ohnesarge, Troy Selsor, Bob Smith, and Harry Warnke on the team, in basketball, Kraus and Warnke, and in track, Carl Howard, Hal Landrum, james Maher, and Howard Spencer. The junior class has started something new in the line of program committees. Instead of having one committee to serve for the entire year, at our first meeting a different committee for each meeting throughout the year was appointed. It was a plan that worked. With capable committees to get together the shining talent ot the juniors and outsiders too, we have had some very fine programs. The business of the junior class has been carried on very nicely under the able leader- ship of Hal Landrum, our president. There is considerable contrast in junior meetings as well as in other things. For example, while Boy Snodgrass CI forgot to claim him as a juniorl and Harold Alberts fumish the laughs and disorder, Gordon Beitel and Parliamentarian Robert Rosow strive to quiet things down by encouraging the use of parliamentary procedure. Such was certainly the case in the discussion of the junior dance, which was given on April 19, lQ36, in the Brackenridge Gym. This dance, a glorious success, brought the year of work and play to a happy ending. -Gloria Dawn Blue, Class Historian Executive Meeting: Mary Elizabeth DuPree, se:'yg Hal Landrum, presidentp Dorothy Flaig, vice-pres.p Marjorie House, Inez Heard, reporter, Betty Winter, treas.p Ioe Nuessle. sgt.-at-arms, Robert Rosow, parl.p Dorothy Fresenius, sgtfat- armsy Betty Baird, censor, Gloria Dawn Blue, hist., Eileen Eitt, sgt.-at-arms.

Day had conquered night! A Texas dawn revealed its royal hues. Unfolding there before my sight, A scene that made me glad I was a Texan true. All nature joined to make the morn more beautiful- The birds and flow'rs and trees. The owl's screech gave Way to the cardinal's song- A pure song of ease Which I love to hear so well. High above, I saw the skies of amethyst. Below a field, of blue. An army of blue heads nodded to the new-born day. I wondered how many knew The joy of being a Texan true. -LeoNora Metzger aa ra an 44 44 cc FOUNDERS OF LIBERTY! Then o'er the walls the enemy did go, Our heroes cried in ne'er despairing breath Give us our victory or give us death. The living Texans faced their cruel foe, A ruthless many against a mighty few. They fought to free us from old Mexico, As a result, our flag flies free to view. And thus it fell - our shrine- The Alamo! We dream of valiant men who live and give, Yet lives the spirit of those few whose light Makes the pages of Texas history bright, Their bodies perished but their souls still live. Their ghastly death enhanced their life to be. Long live the founders of our liberty! --Dorothy Rossman Page 60 l S-CPHOMORE CLASS OF 1936 The Sophomore Class of 1936 started out with a pep and enthusiasm that at once prophesied a successful year. Every second and fourth Tuesday the cafeteria was overflow- ing with ambitious workers. Everyone Wore a smile and gave the impression that he was ready for the future months of work and play. The first business of our class was to select a temporary chairman. Iohn Henry Kothman was elected to this office. The question of who were to be our class sponsors was brought before us at one of our early meetings. Rep- resentatives from eight junior schools submitted names of teachers, and Miss Ionas and Mrs. Magruder were chosen. The second meeting brought us the exciting news of the students who were elected for the various offices of the class. Charles Rose was elected president, Sweety Baumberger, vice- presidentg Katherine Miller, secretary, R. W. Allen, treasurer, Louise Meadows, reporterg lean Westerhoff, historian and Marilyn Moore and Ioe Mack, sergeants-at-arms. From the start, our class has been wide-awake and eager for success. Because of this attitude the attendance has always been unusually large. Every other meeting a program is presented while the other meetings are strictly business meetings. Much talent has been discovered among the sophomores, and the entertainments have always been excellent. This year the class voted to assess each member ten cents to pay for the sophomore pages in the annual. In each advisory there was a sophomore representative who was responsible for collecting the dues of that advisory. Many advisories were a hundred per cent in payment. Most of the students responded and paid their dues immediately thus making it possible to pay our annual assess- ment of S25 in April. The big event of the year was the picnic which took place early in May. What a crowd, what food, and what fun everyone had! The year ended with the election of next year's officers. The sophomore class is looking forward to a most successful junior year. ' -Louise Meadows, Reporter.

Under the supervision of Mrs. Wangler, our present sponsor, the membership has increased to 75. Iune Walker has served as president. The girls are learning to appreciate and perform the highest forms and types of music by studying the most famous composers and their compo- sitions. Besides giving programs in public, the girls with the help of the boys, are formulating plans for the Writing and production of an original operetta. Another special phase of our music Work is the formation of the Purple Iacket Chorus. This group meets every Tuesday and Thursday and has proven very successful. The Boys' Glee Club was organized by Miss Maurine Iohnson in l93l. From a membership of 27 it has now a mem- bership of 72, and is under Mrs. Wangler's supervision with Troy Selsor as president. Although the chorus classes have regular class accompanists, Miss Iohnson is a valuable assistant and always takes the respon-- sibility of playing when the clubs give public performances. The boys have presented pro- grams of negro spirituals and four-part songs and at various time have contributed entertain- ing and educational numbers at our assemblies. The boys have shown such a real interest in their chorus work that no other encouragement is needed to continue this sort of work. Mary K. Wangler Sponsor A novel feature started by the boys this year was the weekly sing-song. Boys were ex- cused from their advisories on that day and spent the second lunch period having a good time singing. This proved so enjoyable that the girls Were given the same privilege and alternated with the boys. The special project of the spring term was the completion of the musical phantasy which was begun earlier in the year. The Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs, to- gether With the Purple Iacket Chorus, presented this operetta. lt made a splendid climax to the year's Work. An afternoon and night performance was given. No admittance charge was made and appreciative audiences greeted them at both performances. Brackenridge may Well be proud of these two organizations for they are fulfilling a real need in the cultural development of the students of Brackenridge. ttf sf ,. 4 Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs: two newfoifganizations Brackenridge may well be proud of. Page - 86 ORCHESTRA AND BAND f The Braclcenridge orchestra has grown forty per cent over all previous years and now has an enrollment of 70 students. Music is a growing educational factor in all educational in- stitutions, and a prescribed textbook in instrument music by the State Department of Education is now being used. This course gives the student a thorough technical understanding of all phases of music. Orchestra is a college credit, and students have various opportunities to receive scholarships. Colleges feel the need of a fine college band and orchestra and, there- fore, welcome students who have had training of this sort. As a full instrumentation is a very important factor in the study of the better class of music, the orchestra has added French horns, oboes, flutes, bass cellos, violas, and tympanies. l Otto Zoeller Besides our own school affairs, the orchestra has played . Director on various occasions: the State Teachers' Convention, Kiwanis Club, Emerson School Assembly, Carrizo Springs schools, con- certs at Comfort and New Braunfels, Page Iunior School, and the District P.-T. A Convention. At the annual contest held at Kingsville, Mr. Zoeller, our director, competing against some twenty, was awarded a gold medal for being the outstanding conductor of the meet. The orchestra won first place, and the band second at the same meet. The orchestra is indis- pensable at our own school assemblies and at special occasions, such as the purple Parade and Brackenridge Open House in fall, later on the Ianuary Iubilee and the Musical Review in spring. The orchestra has studied the following literature: Carmen by Bezet, selections from ll Trovatore, Hayden's Second Symphony, Waltz des Fleures by Tschaikowsky, Valse Trieste by Sibelius, selections from Faust by Gounod, and many compositions of like character. The Brackenridge Band for the first time has girls enrolled and now numbers 60. The best 30 boy players make up the R.O.T.C. Band and perform as a separate unit. It is Mr. Zoeller's dream to build up a band able to do concert work, and for the first time an earnest study has been made of this work. Brackenridge Band and Orchestra, proud winners of second and first places, respectively, in Kingsville Meet. Page 87 .J DEPARTMENT OF SPEECH Climaxing a great season, the Dramatics Department, under the direction ot Miss Ieston Dickey, ranked tirst place in the lnterscholastic State Play Meet held in the spring ot l936.

The fourth annual Purple Parade took place in October, tea- turing the plays, The Devil Comes to Alvarez, The Bathroom Door, and a dance number by the Entertainers Class. Later, an initiation ceremony was given at the Plaza Hotel Root for the Phi Delta Club ot the San Antonio Drug Company.

Page 88 DEPARTMENT OF SPEECH The Department of Speech of Brackenridge High School develops a student along lines which give him a better command of the English language and more poise, culture and self possession, and above all the ability to express his ideas clearly and effectively. This year approximately eight hundred students have been in the various speech classes under the guidance of Miss Ieston Dickey, Mrs. B. L. D. Roselle, E. C. Barksdale, and Miss Iewel Franklin. The State lnterscholastic League offers impetus for earnest thorough training in debate, public speaking, and dramatics. Brackenridge won four out of five places at the lnterscholastic League Speech Contest, held Thursday, March 26, at the auditorium of San Antonio Tech I-ligh School. Kathleen Iones won the girls' extemporaneous speaking, talking on Texas' One Hundredth Birthday. Roy Swayze won the boys' extemporaneous speaking, talking on There is a Statue of LaSalle in Navasotaf' Edna La Verne Wolverton won the girls' declamation, speaking on The Char- acteristics of the Texas Pioneer. Leonard Iolliffe and Harold Alberts won the debate by taking the negative side of the question, Resolved: that the government should control the pro- duction of cotton. Cups were donated by the following firms: Hertzberg Iewelry Company, Bell lewelry Company, McNeel Iewelry Company, Bettencourt Jewelry Company, and Ioske Department Store. This is the first time cups have ever been donated. The district speech contest Will take place on April 18, at Thomas Iefferson High School. This year a freshman debate course was offered for the first time and proved as popular as the courses requiring prerequisites in public speaking. Our extempore speakers and debaters speak on many occasions Where Brackenridge is represented at clubs, conferences, and civic meetings. Our students who receive training in the Speech Department constantly reflect honor on our school.

Miss Alice Stone was the first sponsor and Harold Scherwitz, now sport editor of the San Antonio Light, was the first editor. The papers, although they were printed for many years at Bracken- ridge, are now printed by student printers at San Antonio Vocational and Technical School. All printing expenses are paid by the San Antonio Board of Education, while all the other expenses are paid by The Times. Instead of taking donations from advisories to pay these costs, The Times receives half the profits from the annual presentation of the Ianuary Iubilee. Miss Mary Elizabeth Miller is faculty sponsor, while Mrs. Zora Melton is faculty business manager. Honors won during the past year were first class honor rating at the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, in which The Times scored perfect ratings in 15 departments, second place in Texas at the lnterscholastic League Conference, second class honor rating at the National Scholastic Press Association, international first place award from Quill and Scroll and a cer- tificate of merit received from Quill and Scroll. Contests entered by The Times during the spring term were the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, National Scholastic Press Asso- ciation, lnterscholastic League Press Conference, and the Scholastic Awards contest. The Times was also instrumental in organizing an active Quill and Scroll chapter in Brackenridge during the past year. Contributing to this organization were the three Brack- enridge publications: The Times, Hueben und Drueben, and La Retama. Occasional meet- ings were held during the year here at school, but the most enjoyable affair was a luncheon held in the late fall at the Milam Cafeteria. The new officers of the spring term were announced at this luncheon, and the new members of the Quill and Scroll were introduced. Mr. Dugosh made an interesting talk using the Texas Centennial as his subject. Top Row: -- Hucker, editor, Karcher, assistant editor, Heard, managing editor, Schmidt, sport editor, Miller, sponsor.

Ioe Schmidt won first place in Texas for his sport story in the Scholastic contest. Students placing in the Quill and Scroll contest last spring were George Staples, first place in the South Central states for headline writing, honor- able mentions in the South Central states by Charles Hucker, sports writing and Helen Machemehl, vocabulary contest. ln a Quill and Scroll contest last fall those placing were George Staples, fourth place in the South Central states in newspaper terms contest, honor- able mentions, Forrest Duke, news judgment, lnez Heard, editorial writing and Mildred Vogt, copy reading. Three students placed in the Texas High School Press Association contest. Charles Hucker won second place in Texas for news story writing, Inez Heard, second place in Texas for feature writing and Otto Ransleben, second place in Texas for his short story, entered by the English department. Because the staff had to fulfill the Texas lnterscholastic League eligibility requirements, a partial change was made in The Times staff at mid-term. The editor-in-chief appointed for the spring term was Yolande Karcher, while Inez Heard became associate editor. Margaret Westerhoff became managing editor, and lack Rutheford, sport editor. The latest feat of The Times is the winning of a First-Class Honor Rating at the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, held in New York City, March ll and l2. The Times was one of four papers in Western United States to win the coveted honor. Top Row:-Duke, department editor, Vogt, department editor, Iones, exchange editor, Melton, business sponsor.

Page 91 L A R E T A M A Another school year has almost ended and La Retama has passed another milestone. lt has been no easy task to uphold the traditions of the past and attain the standards which in the last six consecutive years have placed our annual in the All-American ranks by the rating of the National Scholastic Press Association. ln spite of the fact that Ole Man Depression still casts his shadow over such undertakings as ours, we met our tasks with courage, knowing that financially we were beginning with a clean slate, Especially was this true of our salesmen who worked hard and long to market their wares. Keen competition spurred them on, and the happy winners of the free annuals were Eliza- beth lameson, Forrest Duke, and Mildred Vogt. Six hundred and seventy annuals were sold. Our friends in the public speaking department again helped us in giving publicity to our campaign. With a copy of La Retama in their hands, these speakers visited all sophomore English classes in order to acquaint and interest them in our book. Mr. Hutchcraft con- verted the annual office into a first class studio and for an entire week students were allowed to use their study periods in order to have their pictures taken for the annual. The big task which confronted us after Christmas was that of selling a large amount of advertising space. The editor, Mary Frances Meadows, and Katherine Rowell and Forrest Duke must be given credit for accomplishing this task. Their chauffeurs, Hettie lean Bain and Mrs. Rowell, played a material part in their success. While the editor and her companions were busy selling ads, a force at school was steadily forging ahead in the production of La Retama. With Elizabeth Iameson speeding at the typewriter and Dorothy Elaig proofing material already typed, the annual began to take shape. lean Gabbart and Kathleen Riggs stood ready to fill in wherever needed. Charles l-lucker of The Times exemplified the kind of cooperation needed to put out an annual. In fine style, he Wrote up the major sports for us. What a boost that gave Miss Scholz!

Our four student artists gave of their best and began as early as last spring to steep themselves in Texas history. To Mr. Aniol of the Southwestern Engraving Company we are indebted for suggesting valuable sources of information. As they read and searched for reference material that would help to make their work authentic, their interest grew. Although difficulties often arose, the enriched knowledge and inspiration which each one received was a compensation that made it worth while. Mildred Bates should be specially commended for serving three years as one of the staff artists. We appreciate what her work has meant to La Retama. Otto Ransleben served in his senior year, and Fred Arthur Brockway and David Payne have been on the staff during both their sopho- more and junior years. Mrs. Barron, art sponsor, has so capably directed the work of this group that the l936 annual will be as colorful and artistic as ever. The staff has worked hard all year but social hours have not been entirely omitted. ln the early spring, a modest get-together luncheon was held at the Original Mexican Restaurant, and in May the formal All-Publications Banquet was enjoyed. The former affair was ex- clusive in that no outsiders were invited. Elizabeth and Mary Frances had the pleasure of seeing their names placed on the school trophies for being the winning salesman and ad solicitor, respectively. The editor made a farewell speech to her co-Workers and at the close of the evening everyone felt just a little bit closer to his fellow staff members than ever before. No other gathering has the same appeal. The All-Publications Banquet is the climax of the year because the new staffs of the three publications are announced at this affair.

HUEBEN UND DRUEBEN In the years 1927-28 a group of German students issued the first four copies of Hueben und Druebenf' Gustav Nau was its first editor and Miss Leilet Richter the originating sponsor. This was the first German publication issued for the benefit of the students of Brackenridge Who Were interested in the study of the German language. Several years ago a special period was assigned for the work, thus making the project a journalistic under- taking of six issues. This fulfilled another ambition -- eight copies for the school year. The main theme of this year's paper, in reality a magazine, is appropriately the Texas Centennial. Articles of Texas history, especially those that are concerned with the German pioneers, appeared in each issue along with a special column, Texas History Calendar. This contained important historical episodes with dates of days and months corresponding to the dates of publication. However, there was also a minor theme definitely carried out in each copy, such as various celebrations, holidays, and events of current interest. The paper is not Without humor, for a special column, Das Katzchen Schnurrtf' fThe Kitten Purrsj, was de- voted this year to the humor-provoking deeds and doings of the German students of Bracken- ridge. Our paper has been accepted by the Quill and Scroll, an honorary national organization for journalists, and some of the subscribers to this publication have been faithful since the first issue. The staff is proud to send issues to subscribers, not only in our state and nation, but even to friends in Germany. This proves that l-lueben und Druebenu ton this side and on yonder sidel has held true to its name and traveled far. The staff of 1935-36 truly hopes that it may have many more successful years of publication, affording pleasure and benefit to the future students of Brackenridge.

The club was founded by Miss Georgia Armstrong and Miss Louise Gibson for the purpose of studying and creating an interest in art. This purpose has been steadily maintained. The Club has had for its sponsors Misses l-Iollier, Berdiveel, and the present sponsors, Mrs. Norman and Miss Allen. ln fall, the Wa Kapas try to select from the incoming freshmen students who are promising material for their future leaders. They are taught the motto of the club, which states A little learning is a dangerous thing, drink deep or taste not of the Pierian spring. They are properly initiated both at a formal and an informal initiation. The officers are chosen each semester and are installed at a beautifully arranged banquet. Each Wa Kapa is required to make a poster for the bulletin board. The posters are judged as to design and originality and the winner is awarded a prize. Social meetings are alternated with business meetings, and the club is constantly trying to create new plans for the programs. The girls are asked to cooperate in this respect, as a participation of this sort is conducive to individual interest and enthusiasm. Meadows, Anderson.

Each girl is urged to accept the calendar as a personal responsibility and support each activity with her individual cooperation. lt is usually customary to have at least one social function a month, the type depending upon the season of the year, special holidays and particular occasions at school. The informal initiation of new members is the initial function of the year. This is usually held in the form of a picnic. The initiates are ridiculously dressed, are made to do foolish things, and tortured in some simple way. Shortly after the informal initiation, the formal initiation is held. This is a very beautiful and dignified affair, and portrays the appropriate principles which the club strives to uphold. The first social in spring is the installation luncheon. Toasts are made, and the club's new Work is begun. In February, the sleeve prom affords lots of fun. A prize is usually awarded for the cutest couple. April brings with it the annual sunrise breakfast, and in May comes the last social gathering of the year in the form of a banquet. Each Wa Kapa always recalls this occasion with happy reminiscences.

Each year all of the Girl Reserves in San Antonio have a formal initiation at the Y.W.C.A. This being Texas Centennial year, We have chosen it as our theme for the entire year. We have had pro- grams on Texas under Mexico, pioneers, shrines, parks and monu- ments, folk lore, flowers and scenery, and also a play on Texas history. ln February, We had a doughnut sale to raise money for the club. The third Monday in each month all the Girl Reserves are enter- tained with a supper at the Y.W.C.A. Each club is responsible for the program once during the year. The Girl Reserves and the I-li-Y boys attend a Sunrise Easter Service each year. The Christmas and the skating party and the enjoyable Valentine party held in the home of Miss Hale in February were the outstanding events of the year. The ring banquet ended the term.

Mr. Alfred Lehmberg succeeded Miss Iary but soon resigned to devote his time to the inter-scholastic contests and was followed by Mr. Iohn Todd. In the fall of l935 the club underwent a reorganization and the duties of sponsorship were bestowed upon Mr. Loettler. The organization oi this club originally Was for the purpose oi developing the talent ot its members along the lines of debate, ex- tempore and public speaking. However, this has gradually changed, and since Mr. Loeffler has become sponsor of the club, the con- stitution is going through a complete reorganization. Suggestions and ideas are being accepted by the club from members in order to make this club a general activity club. Because of the time devoted to reorganization the Reagans have not sponsored any entertainment. However, suggestions for such are being formulated. In the fall the Reagans put on a mem- bership drive. Members were divided into two sections, the group bringing in the most new members being treated to a Weiner roast at the expense of the opposing half. The Reagans meet semi-monthly at the San Antonio Elks Club. OFFICERS Full Term CHARLES ROSE .... ,. TY . Pres. CARL HOWARD, .. .... V, Pres. ELDRED ELLEY.. Se:'y G Treas. H. KANATZER, .....

Since Mr. Heller's retirement, the organi- zation has been under the guidance of Mr. Clifford Troutz and, then, later, the present sponsor, Mr. H. R. Albert. At present the Bracken- ridge Hi-Y has about 90 members. Last fall, in a drive to get only active members on the roll, a new roll was compiled. Since then the members who did not come regularly have been eliminated. The purpose of the club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The Hi-Y emblem is the square in which rests a triangle with a white cross in the center. The four sides of the square represent clean living, clean speech, clean sports, and clean scholar- ship. The three sides of the red triangle signify growth in mind, body, and spirit. The white cross stands for purity. The Y.M.C.A., which furnishes a meeting place for our weekly sessions, also awards a banner to the club with the largest percentage of members present at a monthly rally. Our own club was the proud winner of this banner awarded in lanuary. 1 n 1 lu . nngn- n,.... o..L.. u....1,.....,-.,. f L.aI,-,-.no f L.G,-AA F.-nwinrrl Rnlinm Pa e 100 H I - Y C L U B Initiation ceremonies of the Hi-Y are conducted once yearly. This spring, the rituals were performed for 30 new members. The rituals consist of an induction ceremony: an explanation of the Hi-Y emblem. Each year there is presented a Hi-Y conference which representatives of all Hi-Y clubs of Texas attend. This past year, San Antonio was the convention city for 600 out-of-town boys. Brackenridge took an active part in helping make a success of the occasion. Following a successful Hi-Y banquet, which was graced by the presence of many San! Antonio notables, came an event unpre- cedented -- the greatest merger in the history of Brackenridge High School. The Hi-Y collaborated with the B.D.S. to present a dancel It was both a social and financial success. Following this event came a series of Hi-Y parties which everyone remembers. Then, later in the spring, the annual l-li-Y Burlesque Show was presented. It presented some of the school's most prominent people in roles which proved to be excruciatingly funny and ludicrous. A good time was had by all. Another financial success! After a final fare- well party for the officers and the graduate members of the Hi-Y, the club once more considered its social calendar complete. OFFICERS Fall Term ROGER DAVENPORT ,,.... Pres.

In 1930 Mrs. Zora Melton became her co-sponsor but, because of other duties, dropped out in 1932 when Miss Irma Grace Iohnston became the sole sponsor. The purposes of the club are to promote interest in the business world and to encourage a social spirit among commercial students. It is a custom of the Commercial Club to have a formal and secret initiation which is followed by an initiation party honoring the new members. ln order that commercial students might learn more of the business management of other countries, the club is studying other countries as a 1935-36 project. Travel-talks by the members and socials suggestive of the country being studied com- bine to make the meetings educational. Field trips to various business establishments and factories are an interesting feature of the Commercial Club. They afford the student direct contact with the business World and tend to establish a better understanding of the management of large companies. This year the commercial students visited the Coca-Cola Bottling Com- pany and the Pioneer Flour Mills. As a means of raising money, the club gave a bunco party at the Wolff cSf Marx Tea Room.

Page 102 HERBARIUM CLUB The Herbarium Club was organized in l933, under the name of Natural Science Club under the sponsorship of Miss Lydia Pagel. Later the name of the Club was changed to the Herbarium Club. This was done because of the nature of the work of the club. The purpose of the club is to work on the herbarium for Brackenridge High School. The collection now numbers more than 200 specimens of flowers and 40 specimens of leaves of native trees. In addition, we have replaced about 50 specimens of flowers and about 20 new specimens of leaves. These flowers and leaves are mounted on white paper, and a cellophane envelope is made for each specimen of flower and leaf. This preserves them for future use and makes possible a permanent collection. Occasionally the club period is devoted to social activities. Most enjoyed by the members are the outings, known as field days, when the club meets at some park to gather flowers and leaves. Among other social activities that were held was the Valentine Party, the April Fool's Party, and the Swimming Party honoring the graduating members. At the April Fool's Party each member was required to mimic some well-known stage star. OFFICERS Full Term ANNABELL POBUKOSKI. . Pres. VIOLET GIBSON .... ..V. Pres.

The purpose ot the club is to have the German-speaking students become better acquainted With the German language and customs. Do right and tear nothing is the motto and the emblem is a golden German D on a blue back- ground surrounded by a golden Wreath. The club had a delightful time on Halloween night when the new members were initiated. Every other Wednesday, instead of a business meeting, interesting programs were held in which lives of the great German poets, musicians, artists, and the composers were told. One of our projects was to make an interesting year-book in which the members' names, the full year's program, and the con- stitution Were Written in the German language. The club's most important social activity was the banquet given in honor ot the departing seniors. Parties were held on Halloween, Christmas, and on Valentines Day. Several picnics were also en- joyed, the most notable one being the one at Easter. A play Was given in the spring and the money taken in was added to the fund raised for building the proposed monument honoring the German pioneers of Texas.

In 1928 Mr. Ullrich turned the sponsorship over to Miss Rose Davis, but took the club back in 1929. Miss Davis, in 1930, was given the club and sponosored it until last fall. Mr. Cobb, a new teacher of science in Brackenridge, is now co-sponsor with Miss Davis. This year the Science Club's initiates represented the ghosts of famous scientists, such as Newton, Watt, Edison, Pasteur, and Fulton. After the ceremony, at school, there was a picnic at Brackenridge Park, which was a most enjoyable affair. The term project was taxidermy. The specimens mounted were chiefly birds. This organi- zation sold soda water and candy at many school activities and entertainments to raise money for their various expenses. The purpose of the Science Club is to promote greater interest in science. The club has visited many places this term, among them being Randolph Field, the Pearl Brewery, and the Gingham Mills at New Braunfels. Some of the organization's social activities were a skating party, a picnic, and the annual banquet. This banquet was the climax of the years activities and featured the Spirit of Flight as a theme.

The club motto is Non progredi est Regredif' Programs and business meetings are held on alternate Wednes- days. The programs consist of subjects relating to Roman life and customs, archaeology, mythology, and art. One program was given over entirely to Mr. Gary Who told us of his summer tour through the West and showed pictures of points of interest he visited. We enjoy, from time to time, debates and open discussions, in which all the members are urged to take part. The outstanding social function of the year is the Saturnalia, which takes place a week before Christmas. To create the proper atmosphere, the members attire themselves in togas. At the feast, Rex Familiae is crowned, an invocation is given to Iupiter, a toast to Dame Fortune, an offering to the Lares and Penates, and gifts are exchanged. Other socials included a musical program and a special entertainment for the graduates. Top Row:-Staples, Hall, Ault, Green, Berg. Bottom Row: -Brockway, Cameron, Campbell, Glaser, McKay, Stanley. Page 106 THE EAGLE TROOP OF THE G The Eagle Troop of the Girl Scouts was organized in l926. The troop has had three sponsors, Mrs. Marguerite King Plummer, Miss Miriam Spratt, and Mrs. Mattie Mitchell. The motto is Be prepared. The emblem is the tretoil, the three leaves symbolizing the three parts ot the promise of service. The purpose is to prepare girls to live life in its completest sense. The outstanding project of the year was the Amateur Olympic held at the Little Scout House and San Pedro Park. Another project was the gathering of blue bonnets in the spring term to be sent to other states and various parts of the world. Money for the troop was raised by having a cake sale and a game party. The Girl Scout initiation was the beautiful lnvestiture Ceremony of the National Organization. Annual picnics were held in spring and fall at the week-end camp and the senior members were honored with a banquet in the spring. The two patrols competed on passing their tests throughout the year. Often meetings were held in the open. The highest award for service as a Girl Scout is the Golden Eaglet badge. The girl who receives this badge is eligible for the scholarship given lor study abroad. RL SCOUTS OFFICERS Full Term MARGARET STAFFORD .Pres LOUISE OLFERS .. V. Pres.

Page 109 ART APPRECIATION CLUB The Art Appreciation Club was organized in 1933 by Miss Blanche Williams. The purpose of the club is to strive and desire to appreciate the glory and the beauty of the World in which we live. The motto, taken from Ruskin is: What we like determines what we are, and to teach taste inevitably determines character. Our emblem is the bluebonnet. The initiation always affords much pleasure to those parti- cipating and those in charge. This year new members had to eat fudge with hot pepper concealed in it. They were then taken down town and ordered to do many stunts. Special programs are planned on artists and pictures. Money is raised in many novel ways, as by selling Christmas cards made by art classes, and by cake and candy sales. Many picnics, hikes, parties, banquets, dances, and teas are enjoyed by the members. During the second term an ice cream social is given for our new members. A l-Iallowe'en Party, candy pull, cake and candy sale, hike and Weiner roast are also enjoyed.

Abbott who wished to promote interest in mathematics. Miss Stella O. Smith accepted Mrs. Abbott's invitation to become co-sponsor in 1932.

Miss Wimberly and Miss Yates took it over in 1922, but the next year Miss King took the place of Miss Yates. Since 1924 Miss Wimberly has been the only sponsor. Dressed in pirate costumes of purple and gold, the initiates be- gin their make-believe ritual. Each one, blindfolded, must eat the parts of the dead body of a pirate. After this, the initiates are taken to Roosevelt Park for our annual picnic and Weiner roast. The Weiner roast that follows the initiation has become a regular tradition. The theme of the Gold Bug story is carried out in the ceremony. Our programs are varied and enjoyable, and Mr. Gary, Mr. Kay, and Miss Moore give interesting talks at some of our meetings. One of the important events is our annual Short Story Contest. The contestants are divided into three groups: the seniors, juniors, and sophomores. The winners are awarded medals at the Mothers' Day Tea held at the Woltt and Marx Tea Room. Naturally every Gold Bug desires a medal. Top Row: -Herweck, Walker, Metzger, Dossey, Anderson, Wimberly.

We concluded our year had given us excellent entertainment. The motto of the Gold Bug Short Story Club is Knowledge is greater than wealth. The emblem is a small gold bug. The theme and name are taken from Poe's The Gold Bug. This theme is carried out at nearly all of our traditional events, including the banquet held each year at the end of the term. The contest and this banquet are the biggest events of the year. The Gold Bug Short Story Club is the only high school short story club in the city. The object of our club is to create and main- tain united efforts on the part of the members toward pure Ameri- canism, closer fellowship, better command of the English language, ability to express one's thought, trained leadership, correct parlia- mentarian usage, higher literary ideals, and a finer school spirit.

Sponsor The Brackenridge Debating Society, organized by Miss Ruby West in l9l7, the year before Brackenridge opened, has a three- fold purpose of promoting debate, offering various types of speak- ing, and developing the enjoyment of debate. After several years of capable management under the founder, Mr. E. C. Troutz became sponsor, and for the past few years Mr. E. C. Barksdale has served. Each year after carefully selecting its members, the club con- ducts an elaborate initiation ceremony. The discomfort of the initiates affords good sport for the old members. After school, refresh- ments are served in honor of the newly acquired members. For the convenience of the applicants, and in order that there may be a more careful selection, these ceremonies are sponsored twice a year. The Brackenridge Debating Society, during the fall and spring of each year, sponsor a very colorful and successful dance, adding a floor show as an entertaining feature. The purpose is to raise money for banquets, parties, and our pages in the annual. These affairs are attended by every faithful member of the club. These socials are most enjoyable and are not forgotten by the members, or the honorary guests. Top Row:fDuke, Tiedtke, Walker, Alberts, Buchanan, Barksclale.

Misses Armeade Younger, Iennie Marie Swayze, Olive Henderson, and Elberna St. Ore were the honorees. Each club selected one honoree by vote, and the dates of the respective presidents were the other two honorees. In spring, the club presented another dance and a program in behalf of the students of Brackenridge. However, the activities of the club have not been confined to social events. The club is interested in athletics and each year enters teams in all the intra-mural athletic competition: basketball, baseball, tennis, and football. The literary work is confined to the debates, both humorous and serious, which form the major part of the weekly club meetings, and which further the knowledge of the art of public speaking.

The purpose of the club is to promote the intel- lectual weltare ot the members by the study of literature. This purpose is woven into all the enterprises of the club. Our emblem is the daisy. For many years the Stevensons have given hundreds ot children in the Various San Antonio orphanages a Christmas party, having them as guests at one ot our local theaters and presenting each of them with a bag of nuts and candy as a personal gitt. The pleasure ot this joyous undertaking has always been shared with the students ot Brackenridge, who have never failed to contribute liberally from their Christmas allowances. The orphans this year enjoyed the picture Mrs, Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch at the Texas Theater. ln the lobby of the theater was a beautifully decorated Christmas tree which lent the Yuletide spirit to the occasion. The children were given lovely gifts and a stocking of goodies by dear old St. Nick. The happiness given to those children was ample compensation tor the work and efforts ot our members.

Page 116 STEVENSON LITER The literary phase of our club is offered in our programs. At the beginning of the year we studied short stories of such authors as Poe, Cather, and Hawthorne. This being the Texas Centennial year, the exploring Stevensons unearthed adventures, romances, and tragedies from Texas folklore. Each program, a nugget from the mine of colorful Texas history, received enthusiastic response. The Stevensons enjoyed many parties. All, with the exception maybe of the initiates, had a marvelous time at our Halloween party at Ruth Niblack's home. Before Christmas, little thought was given to anything but our Christmas party. However, we were eager and ready for our theater party when we attended A Midsummer Night's Dream in a body. This will be remembered as one of the most beautiful affairs of the year. The banquet on the terrace roof of the Gunter was the climax of the year. The decorations, which were in keeping with the Texas Centennial theme, were artistically carried out. Tables bearing the and miniature cactus plants presented a com- one hundred years of Texas independence.

MISS CONCHA CHAPA Sponsor The Modern Dianas' Club was organized in 1933 by Miss Concha Chapa and Mrs. Iulia Ball, who, realizing the need ot an outdoor club in Brackenridge, organized a group of girls interested in a club of this nature. The purposes ot the club are to foster sportsmanship, to develop skill in outdoor sports, to train in the proper use of leisure time, and to enjoy activities that are conducive to health. The name Modern Dianas was given to the club because Diana, the Roman goddess for whom the club was named, forbade the approach ot man, and the appellation modern was given to the organization because the members defy the goddess each year by having a masculine representation at a large party, or dance, that is given at least once a year. The emblem oi the club is a combined crescent moon and arrow which is symbolical ot the realm of the goddess Diana who was goddess of the moon and goddess of the chase. ln the mock initiation ceremony held each year in the early fall, this trend is carried out by having each girl-initiate wear a silver crescent around her head and a bow and arrow across her breast.

Sponsor MISS WHARTON ..,.., Sponsor The student governmental body, the Brackenridge High School Student Council, was founded under the name ot Congress in 1918 by Mr. William Cory. The former sponsors have been Miss Lewis, Mr. Shea, Miss Hale, Miss Ellet, Miss Higgins, Miss Murray, Miss Fox, and Mr. Kay. The present sponsors who have been with the Student Council since September, l932, are Miss Colegate and Miss Wharton. The purpose of this organization is to receive training in civic leadership, to create and develop a. zeal tor scholarship, to co- operate With the faculty in making Brackenridge High School the best possible place lor cultural development, and to foster a spirit ol loyalty to, and cooperation With, our school. This end is gained by varied means. The Student Council is composed of a representative elected by and from each ot the 77 advisories in the school. The election ot the president is school-Wide and any student may be nominated, While the remaining officers are chosen by and from the Student Council members. A silver B with Student Council entwined about is the pin chosen as the symbol of the club. The honorary membership consists ot the presidents ol all school clubs and organizations.

As there are no dues, the money received from these sales comprises the greater amount of the club's treasury. Another activity and one which is greatly beneficial to the school is the Lost and Found Department. Many articles are returned by means of this agency. The Freshmen Assembly, in honor of the freshmen, introduces the club to these students and gives them an idea of the activities of Brackenridge. The Thrift Committee is in charge of the banking, and the Courtesy Committee remembers our faculty and fellow- students in times of sorrow. This year an attractive and useful song and yell book was edited. As the Student Council was organized purposely to aid the school, social activities are limited. The meetings are held every other Monday during the sixth period and are strictly business in nature. Once during the fall, and once during the spring, a weiner roast is held. The last and main social event, however, is the annual banquet held in the spring on the new roof garden. The principal, vice-principal, deanfof-girls, and honorary members are the guests.

Before long, however, the club became a his- tory club and has remained so ever since. Having as its sponsor today Miss Adah Gibbons, the club sticks to its motto of I-Ie con- quers all who conquers himself. The initiation of members is in the regular regalia and the breakfast at the park initiation in the l, 2, 3 style. The two important projects for the year are Cerelia in the fall, and our Rose Day Tea in the spring, Cerelia honoring mothers of the Clio Club members, and the Rose Day Tea honoring members of the faculty. At Cerelia, also, dues are collected after the fashion of an old Greek custom. The programs of this year have concerned the Texas Centennial, the chairmen having Worked out some splendid programs. The theme of the entire semester has been Blazers of the Texas Trails and the programs have featured Texas heroes. The refreshments and snappy programs are a boost to good spirits, and a cheerful co- operation and genial attitude help to make the members proud to say that they belong to the Clio Club. Top Row:-K.

Page 122 PURPLE MASOU The Purple Masquers Club was organized in the fall of 1931 by Mrs. B. l... D. Roselle and Mr. Iohn Todd. The purpose of this club best is to enlarge the knowledge of its members regarding the dramatic literature and encourage interest in drarnatics. The club had made steady progress, and under the present sponsor, Miss Florence Durrett, even greater attainments are anticipated. The purple Masquers is one of the unique literary clubs in Brack- enridge because of the sincerity of its purpose and the dignity of its initiation exercises. The new members are initiated in an impressive ceremony. The expenses of the club are not excessive, since most of the money is raised by a cake sale. Each member donates a cake which usually nets a sufficient amount of funds for club activities. The annual tea is one of the high spots in the social activities of the club. This social event, is eagerly anticipated by the Masquers who earnestly cooperate with the sponsor and the special committee to make the tea an enjoyable and intelligent affair. This year a play was presented for the entertainment of our guests, and Mr. Frank Beckwith, director of the San Antonio Little Theater, gave an in' structive talk.

Sponsor IER LITERARY SOCI ETY The Lanier Literary Society, oldest club in Brackenridge, was organized by Miss Carrie Marie Dickinson and Miss Ximena Wolff in l9l7. Miss Ollie Stratton later became its sponsor, The present sponsors are Miss Agnes Iames and Miss Irene Henderson. The club is composed of 50 girls and 12 associate members known as arrows. The motto is: Work first, then rest. One of the most impressive programs of the year is the Arrow Ceremony. The officers of the club are dressed in flowing Grecian robes, each holding a golden arrow representing leadership, loyalty, scholarship, truth, character, and service. Following this program, the newly elected members undergo the various rites and cere- monies necessary to make them accredited members. I-leaps of fun was had by everyone during the mock initiation, except perhaps the initiates! The Laniers' most important project of the year was the sponsor- ing of a National Book Week program. All of the members parti- cipated in this assembly, the title of which was lust for Fun. The scene was a toy shop housing all kinds of toys and dolls. Each year the Laniers present a gift to the school as a remembrance. This year a beautiful jardiniere was given to the library.

The members came as radio stars. Among them were: Gracie Allen and George Burns, Walter Win- chell, and Ioe Penner. Prizes were given to the two couples who best portrayed the character they chose. The Lanier Literary Society's most formal event of the year was the St. Patrick's Day Banquet. Green and white, the colors of the club, and also significant of the day, were carried out in the color scheme. The identity of the toastmistress for this occasion has always remained a secret until the night of the banquet. One of the highest honors a Lanier may obtain is to be toastmistress. One of the happiest, as well as the saddest times of the year, is a tea held annually at the home of one of its members. It is in honor of the out-going officers and for the installation of the new officers. The sheer, colorful dresses of the girls make it a very lovely occasion, and it always remains as one of the sweetest memories for the out-going Laniers. This is the farewell occasion of the year and proves to be a successful climax to a year of work and play. OFFICERS Fall Term DOROTHY ZIRKEL IENNIE MARIE SWAYZE MARGUERITE MEANS IUANITA ALLEN.. ..

I age 125 2537551211 EJ 'Z NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The Brackenridge chapter of the National Honor Society for Secondary Schools had its inception in the year l924 with eight students qualifying for membership. The National Assoe ciation of Secondary School Principals, realizing that throughout the nation schools were feeling the need of some uniform method of recognizing scholarship, organized the National Honor Society. The rules and activities of the society are supervised by the National Council consisting of nine members. School officials all over the United States were delighted with this step toward uniformity in rewarding outstanding work, for not only did it do away with many local scholarship societies, but it gave an added meaning to members whose standing is at once recognizable in any state or college, if they wear the society emblem. Many young lives have been influenced by the ideals of the society, and the honor of belonging to it is the shining goal toward which hundreds of Brackenridge students strive each year. Eligibility to membership in the society rests upon the strong base of scholarship. From the highest third of the senior class in scholarship a maximum of fifteen percent of the class may be elected. This year's group of 77 is one of the largest to be initiated. lf he is of unimpeachable character, if he has rendered service to the school in some special field such as journalism, speech, music, athletics, or art, and if he has shown some degree of leadership in the extra curricular activities and the community life of the institution, a student is con- sidered worthy of membership. Abeautiful certificate of membership bearing the Bracken- ridge school seal and a replica of the emblem of the society is presented to each student receiving the honor of membership on the day he is initiated.

'2'u?!I-'l Page 126 I age 1:27 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY During this Centennial year in Texas history, as we celebrate the foresight and wisdom of Texas pioneers, it is Well for us to honor a pioneer in the San Antonio educational system, who was responsible for the introduction of the National Honor Society into Brackenridge High School. ln 1934, Principal Marshall Iohnston launched Brackenridge Chapter, number l26, of the National Honor Society. Since the chapter was first installed Mrs. Bessie Lee Dickey Roselle has sponsored every initiation ceremony. The ambition cherished by every progres- sive Brackenridge student is to merit the privilege of wearing the emblem of the National Honor Society, which consists of a shield on which are inscribed the initials of the four basic virtues of the order- Service, Character, Leadership, and Scholarship- borne up by a blaz- ing torch. One of the colorful and inspiring features of the Commencement season is the annual initiation service. Here again the four requirements for membership are reiterated in an im- pressive ritual. The ceremony is presented in Grecian costume by the best speakers of the school before a gathering of the entire student body. lt is well that some forty other clubs of the school recognize and encourage special talents, such as debate, art, mathematics, photo- graphy, music, dramatics and the like, but it is also advantageous that the National Honor Society views education as a complete product achieved through scholarship, character, leadership, and service. The National Honor Society is composed of that vast army of Ameri- can youth Who represent the group of ambitious, capable students laboring and yearning for greater accomplishment.

He rises up and wildly cries A challenge to the sullen skies. What Warning sits upon his brow? You hear? He shrieks it now. I When I was part of mankind's clan I rode on Texas soil, a man Among a band that knew not fear To whom this soil was very dear. We gave our homes, our wives, our souls And all that man with fervor holds To light a torch of freedom o'er The Lone Star State forever more. I fell at Alamo, and all Our band did fighting bravely fall. But hear, ye men, I did not die, I shall not die, I will not diel I will forever live and live, To guard my state with zeal, and give E'en to my immortality To keep the heart of Texas free. I fought with Texans in the cause Of southern independence laws, I fought across the seas in France, And stood behind each Texan's lance. I stand with each courageous heart As he in battle plies his part, For there are many battles won, Without the loss of woman's son. Oh, sons of Texas, ye are ne'er Alone, for with you goes a fair, Courageous man who selfless gave, E'en his due rest within the grave. Oh hear, ye men, I did not die, I shall not die, I will not diel I will forever live and see The sons of Texas always free! --Lillian Walker Page 128 ,.... 'i'- 111.

The R.O.T.C. is guided and supervised by Major B. I. Reilly, commandant. Cadets receive a thorough training in military science and tactics. They are instructed in close and extended order drill, and are detailed for various duties. There is a crack company made up of the best cadets in the battalion, which drills on occasions when it is needed. The R.O.T.C. marches in all civic parades, such as Armistice Day, Army Day, San Iacinto Day, and all pilgrimages. Rifle shooting is encouraged to promote the safe and accurate use of a rifle. The rifles are furnished by the government, and a Well equipped range is available. There is an Officers' Club and Non-Commissioned Officers' . Club. The purpose of the clubs is to promote a better under- standing and brotherly feeling among the officers, uniting them in order to further the development of the battalion. They each participate in social activities. The Officers' Club gave a roller- Major Reilly Commandant skating party and a get-together party this year. The Non-Commissioned Officers' Club gave an ice-skating party and a picnic. The entire R.O.T.C. gave a battalion picnic at Koehler Park. The cadets also took part in Annual Field Day. The field day is given in order to have competitive ri an o awar me a d ll dt d d ls and sabers to the best drilled boys.

Page 130 cc cc 44 cc xx my xx xr The cadet sponsors of Brackenridge High School are a group of girls selected for their academic and social ability. They serve as a unit within a unit. There is a sponsor for every officer in the battalion. The sponsors are first voted upon by the faculty of Brackenridge and are then voted upon by the cadets in the R.O.T.C. Battalion. After being elected sponsor, the girls must show conduct that will be at all times a credit and an inspiration to the cadet corps. Not only must she have good conduct, and be neat and dignified at all times, but a cadet sponsor must keep her average above a certain standard in order to remain a sponsor. Any sponsor who makes a failing grade is dropped from the organization. This year the cadet sponsors participated in many social events. ln Ianuary, a cake sale was given in order to raise sufficient funds to give the mothers a Washington's Birthday T Tea in February. ln February, a banquet Was given in honor f of the battalion officers who were retiring from the R.O.T.C. in mid-term. The Centennial theme was carried out at the banquet. ln April, another cake sale was given for the purpose of raising money to pay for the R.O.T.C. section in the annual. The last event of the year was a review, given in May, on Mothers' Day, in honor of the mothers of the sponsors and R.O.T.C. cadets. At this last review, the battalion was turned over to the sponsors during the entire re- view, the sponsors giving all commands and orders. The cadet sponsors marched in many civic parades and participated in various school and outside activities.

Their duty is to be helpful to teachers, to new students, and to boost all school activities not supervised by an- other organization. The uniform of this organization con- sists of a purple flannel jacket worn with a white silk pique dress and white oxfords. ln order to become a PI, one must have a scholastic record of not less than C, a high moral standard and the qualities of a social leader. There are one hundred and twenty-five Purple Iackets. The Purps presented a drill at one, or two, out-of- town football games and at all played in town. The ex- hibition at the Thanksgiving Game was exceptional. The Purple Iackets formed Ieff, a star, and Eagles. While in the stands, each girl had a square cardboard, purple on one side and white on the other. At a given signal, B.l-l.S., T.I., and many other colorful designs were made. As always, the girls supported the basketball games. The organization was divided into two groups in competition to encourage attendance. The losing side led by Dorothy Wilder gave a picnic to Mary Helen Smith's group honor- ing the basketball boys. A number of social events enlivened the season. The first was a theater party honoring the football boys held just before the Turkey Day Game. Then a luncheon at the Gunter and a formal dance later on kept things going. The last, and perhaps the saddest, get-together is the farewell banquet given at the Original. The new officers are installed, and mingled with the feeling of joy is that of sorrow because of the parting which this occasion brings with it -4.

Page 1.4.1 0' W. is we -, .Q I Although they Won but six of their eleven games, Brackenridge's Eagles captured a city and district championship this year. The record however did not measure up to the high mark set by the 1933 Warbirds, who advanced to the quarter-finals of the state play. Gerald Geise, fullback, and Leon Up- shaw, center, received honorable mention on the Associated Press's All-State eleven, Geise being barely beaten out of a first string berth by Charley Haas of the Corpus Christi Buccaneers. Getting off to an auspicious start early in October, the Feathered Flock clawed Harlandale's Indians to pieces, 32-7. Two weeks later, after taking a Sl-0 whitewash- ing from Iohn Reagan of Houston, the Birds outplayed the Tivy Antlers in Kerrville, but a muddy field prevented the light Bracken- ridge backs from running their plays effec- tively and the game ended in a scoreless tie. Victories over San Antonio Tech and Austin followed in quick succession. Then the Birds fell victim to Paschal High of Fort Worth and Captain Leon Upshaw lost a heart-breaker, 24-O. The Turkey Day game, though by no means an easy victory, was taken in stride by the Warbirds, 9-O. A week later the Eagles met Corpus Christi for the bi-district championship. Having beaten the Pirates, l4-O, Brackenridge entered the contest a slight favorite. However, it was only through a last-half rally that the Birds were able to pull the game out of the fire, and the game ended in a 13-13 tie. A 3-2 lead in 20-yard line penetra- tions gave the victory to the coast city squad, who went on to the state semi-finals. A SQUAD. Back Row: -- Pogue, Grossenbacher, Walker.

After losing to San lacinto, 27-13, in the finals of the annual Southwest Texas Cage Tourney, the city series was begun. Losing two tussles to Lanier, the Warbirds battled through nine city series contests. There soon followed a comparatively easy district tournament and a sound defeat of the I-larlandale lndians. There, however, skill and luck both deserted the Birds, and in the first battle of the regional tourney the Austin Maroons dropped the Eagles with a humiliating 32-15 defeat. The Birds lost two games to Lanier. The first was a dull, lifeless contest, but Lanier lasted longer and won, 16- ll. The last was just the opposite of the first. Bracken- ridge trailed at one time in the first half 10-1, it led in the third quarter 21-18. With two minutes to go, they trailed by seven points. During that interval, lohnny Hill and lack Kraus each dropped in three points, leaving the Birds one point behind, Lanier winning 38-37. The second game with the Voks, was, strangely, an easy one for Bracken- ridge, who won 35-17. Two other contests completed Brackenridge's list of easy games. Two soft ones from lefferson were won by 43-22 and 45-21 scores. The other, a swift, hard-fought, 33-30 brawl with the Ponies, was one of the hardest the Birds encountered. Tech also proved no easy meat for the Birds, losing twice by a 31-29 score and once by only four points, 38-34, in an extra period. Of the Eagle squad- men, Hill, Warnke, Kraus, Dreiss, Woodlee, Ahern, and Klaerner contributed consistent work throughout the sea- son. Hill and Kraus were selected on the All-Regional second team. Hill and Warnke were placed on the All- City team as regulars. 1 I Page 1 Ali Iohn Hill, a star at guarding who is here and there and everywhere all at once.

Only a bad start, coupled with erratic play in unimportant games, cost the Birds the city title. The Tech Buffs, eventual champs, broke Bracken- ridge's heart in the series opener, administering a 4-l defeat to the Warbirds. But high-scoring wins over Ieffer- son and Lanier heartened Eagle fans mightily the next week, and in their second meeting, April 19, the Warbirds completely humbled Tech, 7-l, behind the unbeatable pitching of southpaw David Mayer, who struck out 17 batters and did not allow a run until the eighth inning. But all hopes were dashed to the ground when in the next two weeks losses to Iefferson and Lanier dropped Brack- cnridge from the championship chase. Spring of '36 rolled around, and out trotted the Eagles, 80 or 90 strong, determined to Win Brackenridge's third major sport title of the school year and also to avenge their defeat of the previous season. Veterans from the year before-Iohn Hill, Iack Kraus, Marvin Walker, Sammy Drake, and Harold Rahm-and hosts of valuable newcomers, including Clifford Harter of Dallas and Amos Miller of South Texas, made it look as though Brackenridge might enter the city series as favorites for the first time in years. But just as in 1935, the first game proved too big a hurdle for the Birds, and they dropped a 6-l contest to the Lanier Voks, getting only one hit, that by Morris Pundt. And in their second game, April 7, with the Tech Buffs, they failed to hit again and lost, 12-3, virtually ruining their chances at the title. This was the last game played before La Retama went to press. Page 145 Miller, outfielder of promise, and Hill, an old stand-by. Hill grimly in action. Harold Rahrn, amiable and efficient catcher.

K K K K T R A C K 77 D D7 D Brackenridge's track squad of 1935 hit a higher peak than a Brackenridge team has reached in many years by gathering 53112 points in the city meet, finishing second, l81f2 points behind the champion jefferson Mustangs. In the meet, held at jefferson April 8, the Eagles garnered four first places. They were taken by Schmidt, pole vault, Chandler, high jump, Smith, shotputg and Bailey, Stoner, Turner, and Gage, mile relay. On April 13, nine thinly- clads qualified for the regional track meet by placing in their events at the district meet, but Brackenridge as a team finished fourth with 12 points. Bill Chandler, who tied for first in the high jump, was the only Bird to carry off a first place. However, of the nine, none were able to place among the high four at the regional meet, and Brackenridge was not represented in the state meet. Prospects looked bright for the Eagles when the 1936 season got under way. Max Kinzel in the shot-put, Billy Markette in the dash, Charles Hargrove in the high hurdles, and Eddie Dreiss in the high jump and low hurdles were among the many who appeared to have what it takes to win a city meet contest, and upon them Coach Irwin banked heavily. Mild successes in the Fort Worth Exposition meet and the Texas Relays, together with numerous trial meets, gave hope to the Eagles as they faced the City Meet April 10. But Iefferson, for the fifth successive year, took team honors by an even greater margin than the previous year, 271!2 points. Brackenridge, however, took the majority of individual honors. Kinzel, in the shot-put, and Markette, in the 220-yard dash, both broke city records. Dreiss took high point honors with 12 markers. A total of 1U individuals and the mile relay team qualified for the district meet. La Retama went to press before further results could be obtained. N ..,......h...,. .,.,...

Page 151 TENNIS AND INTRAMURALS Tennis as an inter-school competitive sport came into its own at Brackenridge during the 1935-36 school year. Eagle netters, sweeping all competition before them, en- tered the city tourney at Iefferson, April 9, heavily favored to annex the championship. Iefferson, however, Won in singles but L. S. Miller and Cecil l-lull of Brackenridge won in doubles. Cecil Hull, Emil Offer, L. S. Miller, Robert Dingle, Roderick Ott, Iames Hopkins, and Ernest Langholz led the attack in the net sport, scoring victory after victory over teams from San Antonio and the surrounding terri- tory. Edison, Uvalde, Pearsall, Seguin, Thomas Iefferson, Austin, Tech, and Alamo Heights were among those that fell before the onslaught of the Eagles in practice con- tests. Taking all of five matches from the Golden Bears of Edison, the Eagles contributed one of the most remark- able exhibitions of consistent tennis of the year to the local sport calendar. A. E. Lehmberg, as in the past few years, had charge of the net squad. For the first time, a tennis class was instituted into the regular curriculum of Brackenridge in the fall of '35. lnter-squad competition was carried on through the Winter months in preparation for the spring campaign. Other innovations were also introduced in the physical education department. Handball, volleyball, football, golf, basketball, and baseball were all included. Track was also used in a modified form in an intramural sense, a track meet for non-squadsmen being held early in the spring. A handball tourney was held in the spring, and Ed Pereida and Harold Rahm took off top honors. Golf took a minor part in school sports, but golfers from all San Antonio high schools meet each year in a tourna- ment to establish city champions. Brackenridge's entries in this competition had not been decided upon at the time this Was written. T Page 152 Handball takes a quick eye and hand. Coach Newberry and his golf team.

GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION This year the Girls' Physical Education Department, with Miss Martha Brooks Dickey, Miss Iohnny Lou Lyles, and Mrs. Iulia Ball instructing, began on a new and broader program of activities. The object was to offer a range of activities that would be interesting, instructive, and provide skills for Worthy and enjoyable use of leisure time. Girls were separated by classes in order that graded Work may be used, thus eliminating useless repetition and providing Work scaled to the abilities and attainments of the girls. Each sport is participated in for a period of four Weeks, after which skill and achievement tests are given. Students physically unable to take the regular work are placed in a special class and indulge in mild but helpful sports. Tennis is the only sport in which there is competition with other schools. The team material for this year is unusually good and Brackenridge should rank high in the lnterscholastic Meet. The squad is composed of Evelynne Schriever, Willie Myrtle Young, Helen McCaskill, Charlene Yaeger, Dorothy Gray, Alice Wilton, and Gustine Mathis, with Evelynne and Willie Myrtle holding the favored positions. Brackenridge won the city champion- ship in both singles and doubles, being represented by Evelynne in singles and Willie Myrtle and Alice in doubles. A very popular activity included in the sophomore program is tumbling, stunts, and pyramid building. This sort of sport is acclaimed as great funl Playground ball, volley ball, and soccer are also enjoyed. Additional equipment added to the popularity and fun of these sports in spite of skinned knees and bruised fingers. Clog dancing was again included on the program. With the aid of im- provised taps on the tennis shoes, this type of dance is especially interesting and entertaining --though very noisy. Folk and character dances rounded out this part of the program. Page 154 Dorothy Gray, a whiz at tennis. We're betting on her this year.

Page 155 GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION F or the first time at Brackenridge archery, golf, and handball were offered to the girls. Each senior, having had two and one-half years of instruction are, during the second semester, given the opportunity to elect the four activities for the final half year. One must be a team game. The most popular team game is volley ball, and archery ranked first of the individual sports. The driving cages made it possible for pupils to indulge in the funda- mental strokes of golf, while new handball courts pro- vided an opportunity for another new individual sport. Archery seems to be a sport suited to all persons, large or small, weak or strong. ln fact, the first archery class taught in Brackenridge attracted so much attention that every girl was asking permission to take it. Brackenridge is fortunate in being situated close enough to Roosevelt Park to give classes time enough to indulge in swimming during the class period. This sport is very popular but those not wishing to swim may elect tennis as their final activity. y One of the most popular features of the program this year is the social dancing offered each Friday. Partici- pation in this activity is optional. Many who had never learned to dance, eagerly accepted this opportunity and have become very proficient. Those who do not care to dance may use the time for skill practice. On April 17, the Girls' Physical Education Department presented its annual demonstration, displaying before its guests, the Parent-Teachers Association and friends, a varied pro- gram of sports and dances. This received much favorable comment and proved worth the time spent in its produc- tion. Brackenridge girls are fortunate in the opportunities offered. Our department ranks favorably with any in Texas, and our goals have been more nearly reached than ever before. Page 151 Volleyball demands lively play to get anywhere Afine for reducing.
