R. F. Menefee Under the administration of the present Board of Education, consisting of the president, R. F. Menefee, Peter P. Hoefgen, Mrs. E. R. Lewis, Mrs. H. O. 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.

Mr. Thomas B. 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 -,.
