The vastness of the state provides many life zones and, therefore, Texas mothers a great variety of flowers. None is so beloved as the bluebonnet, the flower which on March 7, 1910, became our state flower.

TEXAS refenff flze TEXAS WILD FLOWER NUMBER 0 LA RETAMA 9'- Qur native state has much that appeals to a lover of beauty. What is more satislying than the lovely array of wild flowers with which nature bedeclcs valley, hillside and prairie? The newcomer is enchanted, and the native Texan is stirred with both pride and joy. La Retama pictures the loveliness oi some of these flowers in its 1937 Flower Edition, not only For the salce of adornment, but in hopes that mingled with appreciation for this beauti- ful heritage of ours will come a desire to con- serve ior future generations the beauties that are now so lavishly spread over Texas soil. That there is a need for conservation is all too evident. Let us meet the challenge by en- couraging an appreciation that will express itself in conservation.

I N if l i BLUEBONNETS So fresh, so true, so sweet, so free, You seem to smile right up at me. On Texas fields and plains you stand, To show the freedom of your land. Your blue is of the bluest sky, With red and White Within your eye. White for justice and liberty, Red for courage to keep you free. For years you stood, for years you stand To keep guard o'er your sacred land. -Sam Hornbeak, Ir. TEXAS SPRING Lush green hillsides turned to blue, Turned to pink and golden hue, Turned to purple, white or red- Nature's paint box, Warm brown bed. Wild flowers with your Colors gay, Bring to life a drab, dark day, Bring us beauty Pink and gold. Each small vale unfurls a flag Caught with many a cheerful tag. Caught with silver, crimson, white Each frail flower Clear and bright. -Priscilla M. Williamson. x x A 4 .. , ,4 W 1 A 3. . ' ji ,S 'i,JxX4 -1 Q' .,-,. ' 'A 'WE Ig' . 'f' fly I ' 1' , W .

Advanced students are assigned as typists to members of the faculty, and graduates often enter business offices without further training. The fundamental principles of law as applied to business transactions are taught in the law courses, and in business English the student is given a knowledge of terms and familiarity With the construction of business letters. Bookkeeping and office training fit the student for a position as bookkeeper, or secretary, in a small business office.

CORINNE MARTIN The English Department is composed of sixteen regular and four part-time teachers, who con- duct sixtyefive classes in grammar, composition and literature, and four in journalism. For English III and IV, the general objectives are to develop ability to speak in complete sentences, to establish the habit of using English effectively in varied language situations of life, to establish habits of Writing good English and to encourage creative work. Through literature, the aim is to establish reading skill and to guide students in gaining a rich and varied literary experience. In English V and VI, an effort is made to continue the development of correct speech habits, to maintain the skills previously acquired, and to develop discrimination in literature. In English VII and VIII, the general objectives are to develop an appreciation of the qualities of good Writing and to increase skill in literary inter- pretation and in literary appreciation. In all English courses the teacher endeavors to develop a habit of reading for pleasure by opening to the student new fields of attractive reading.

The courses in music offered at Brackenridge are chorus, theory, harmony, piano, orchestra and band. Theory trains students in sight-singing and rhythm, while harmony gives a foundation for composition. An attempt is made to discover and encourage talent in every phase of music. The Art Department has for its broad aim self expression through the creative arts, and guidance into a happy appreciation for the beautiful, Included in its courses are sketching, design, pencil and ink technique, poster work, soap and clay modeling, lettering, and a few of the crafts. Home economic students devote a large part of their time to the study of worthy home member- ship, citizenship, the financial problems of feeding and clothing a family, designing and selecting clothing, textile study and leisure time problems. New quarters for the manual training courses give promise to greater progress in that direction. Manual training, mechanical and architectural drawing and lettering are offered, the broad aim being to help prepare students for useful pursuits, construc- tive thinking and to train the hands as well as the mind.

HIGDON MISS MARGUERITE HIGGINS Public speaking aims to give experience in the organization and delivery of original speeches, a more thorough development in the ability to read and interpret literature, to have self-assurance, bet- ter diction, and more pleasing voices. Public speaking is a prerequisite for dramatics, debate, and extempore speaking. In the science department, chemistry offers opportunity to acquire proficiency in laboratory technique, while physics introduces the student to the behavior of electricity, heat and various other forces. ln botany, flowers are classified and displayed and considerable experimental Work is done with seeds. Biology introduces the student to the structure, behavior, adaptations, and life functions of living things. In physiology, emphasis is placed on the maintenance of good health. Training in military science and tactics is given through the Reserve Officers' Training Corps.

MATTIE MITCHELL MRS. MARGUERITE PLUMMER Not pictured MISS FLORENCE DURRETT The foreign languages offered are Spanish, Latin, and German. Because of San Antonio's Mexican population, Spanish has not only cultural value but is a decided asset to those seeking business positions. The first two years stress conversation and give the necessary grammar, while the advanced classes devote more time to reading and translation. Latin lays a foundation for the study of other languages and increases the vocabulary. German gives one access to the rich store of scientific knowledge and the beauty of German literature. The history department of Brackenridge is forward-looking, having in Centennial year, appro- priately added Texas History to its already valuable courses in world, English, and American history, with Civics and economics. Especially interesting is the attention paid to outside reading in bio- graphy, stories and plays, showing history as a part of life and not a textbook recitation. Around the strong leaders of our civilization, students group the events and cultural progress made during the past centuries, and strive to fit themselves to appreciate and assist in the more progressive future.

OUR WILD FLOWER CREED I believe in our wild flowers because they are given by the Master's hand. ' I believe in the Bluebonnet for beauty and truth as part of heaven's own blue. I I believe in the Winecup with its harm- less dew. I believe in the Buttercup as a gift to Children for Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven. I believe in the Firewheel as part of the golden sunset reflected on earth for us. I believe in the Thistle because it is like our faults, we have to crush them with a bold hand. I believe in the Rain Lily because it is the Star of Hope. y I believe in the Blue-eyed Grass as a token of loyalty. I believe in the flaming Indian Paintbrush as a lesson of courage. I believe in the Nigger-heads for their soft velvet petals that speak of common things and common duties. ' I believe in the Sunflower because it keeps its face to the sun, the brightest and best. I believe in the wild flowers as God's message to the earth. Therefore, I pledge my honor not to destroy, or waste our wild flowers, to pick only enough for my soul's help, for lessons of beauty, for the sick, and for the joy of a living springtime in my heart and life.

The sage, and rose-colored phlox, And daisies -that bright-eyed flock- Come over the streams and far-flung rocks. Come visions of fields dyed red and blue, A flower for each gay hue. Tall grasses and bluebonnets too. Gay flowers for gay events, Sweet flowers for one's deep content- All gifts earthward sent. Night- and.the soul's refreshed. Life made calm and happily blest By flowers that bring us rest. -Martha Ann Talley. BLUEBONNETS A slim red maiden stood In blind and beautiful fear Within this half-illurnined wood, I can feel her near, And hear her footsteps in the lanes. Is this another way of death, That she rushes through my veins, That in me she catches breath? Did she feel me long before her As she gazed across these plains? Did a sudden fleeting whisper Warn of ecstasies and pains That I would know, of suns and showers, Of whiter wonder and of blacker woe, Of light and darkness, and of flowers, Bluebonnets, the millions that would grow? Did she see blue carpets live? Did she hear the wind that stirs? There is little I could give Her back again, if these were hers. -Crystal Hurley. The blue thistle is not a true thistle because of the con- struction of the flower. The flower ls an oblong burr, purple in color, which has several small, spiny leaves coming straight out of the middle of the top. The dried plants make attractive wlnterxbouquets, but bear careful handling because of the sharp, spiked edges of the leaves.

Reporter MISS SELBY MOORE ,.,, Sponsor MISS LOUISE ALLEN..,Sponsor Organized in l92O, the Wa Kapa Club has been under the leadership of seven different sponsors, the present sponsors being Miss Louise Allen and Miss Selby Moore. The club studies and creates an interest in art. The motto of the club is, A little learning is a dangerous thing, drink deep, or taste not, of the Pierian spring. Our emblem is an oak leaf. In the fall, the Wa Kapa selected ten new members who were chosen because of their leadership and scholarship. Each semester the newly elected officers are formally installed at a banquet. Each Christmas, the Wa Kapa Club sends a basket of food to some needy family. This is one of the purposes of the club, to help others. Posters are made to advertise the projects of other clubs, too. Each girl is required to make a poster for the bulletin board. A prize is given for the best and most original design. Business meetings are alternated with socials, and the girls are urged to offer suggestions to create new interest and accomplish worthy objectives. The club was divided into two teams this year, and a prize was offered to the team having the most members present at the meetings. Page 9.0 X 3 had gJu ,ka N 0 xo .. Q 1 P - Q . x .

The first .function of the year is the informal initiation which is held at Brackenridge Park. During the day set aside for the initiation, Wa Kapa initiates are dressed ridiculously and made to do foolish things. Later, the girls are formally initiated at a beautif ful and impressive ceremony which is held at some member's home. On Halloween, a party was held at Glenn Reaser's home. ln lanuary, another gay event is the Shirtsleeve Prom and usually a luncheon is held at the old South lnn. ln April, the Wa Kapas held a picnic at Brackenridge Park, and the week-end of April 30, instead of having the usual sunrise breakfast, they en- joyed an outing on the Medina River. The last social of the year was the luncheon for the outgoing seniors, which was given by the younger members of the club. OFFICERS Fall Term GLENN REASER ..... ,... . .Pres FREDDIE lUNE CLARE, V.

BARKSDALE. .Sponsor The Brackenridge Debating Society, better known to Bracken- ridge as the B.D.S., was established nineteen years ago for the pur- pose of furthering literary and speech events in Brackenridge. lt has Consistently lent its efforts to the advancement of these subjects with particular emphasis on debate. Since the first B.D.S. meeting con- vened in l9l7, Brackenridges speech representatives have usually been selected from our club. This year under the able direction of our sponsor, Mr. E. C. Barksdale, the club has added an out- standingly glorious link to its chain of nineteen years of remark- able supremacy. This year we have adopted a club pin, formed by the three linked, cut-out gold letters B.D.S. The club has been active in debate this year, sponsoring a public debate between Brackenridge and the Iohn Reagan High School of Houston. Three members of the B.D.S., Harold Alberts, Raymond Crawford, and Ted Waller will represent Brackenridge in debate this year, hoping again to carry the B.D.S.'s name to new oratorical heights. Although debate forms the major part of our weekly meetings, aside from this literary phase of our club work, much interest is always evidenced in athletics. fd,k Page 9.4 B' 'Q I ,S aa ' . wrffz-if-ww f -i' .

Each year the new members are rounded up and put through our gentle form of instilling into their minds the importance and the sacredness of the step they are about to take. This year initiation Was carried on throughout the day, ending in a feast fit for a king at Roosevelt Park. As usual, one of the high spots of the year was our B.D.S. initiation. NO, no B.D.S. member will ever forget his initiationl The B.D.S. is not only outstanding for its forensic achievements but for its social supremacy as Well. The B.D.S. opened the social season for Brackenridge by giving the B.D.S. Harvest Festival . There have been numerous parties, stags, and banquets which have been enjoyed by all in the club. We have had many honors be- stowed on our club this year: we had a member elected to royalty, a member elected president of the senior class, another member elected president of the Student Council, and many members re- ceived high office in the R.O.T.C. The school term, l936-l937, goes down in history as another typically successful B.D'.S. year. Page 95 OFFICERS Fall Term HAROLD ALBERTS ......... Pres. DENNIS NEILL .,..,,.... V.

A pot of gold signifies the value of the influence of this society. In the ensuing years, Mrs. Theo Itz and Miss Pauline ZumBerge have been the indispensable sponsors of the organization. This year has been devoted to the study of American poets and their Works. Every other Wednesday, the club enjoys a program as one member sketches the life of a poet and another reads one of his poems, Each year the society sets as its goal, a successful Christmas party for the children of several orphans homes. Committees are appointed to attend to the purchasing of the candies, nuts, fruits, and toys. The candies, fruits, and nuts are put into bright cello- phane bags and tied with red and green ribbons. The toys make stacks of exciting packages, Wrapped in red, white, and green paper. Each advisory does its part by donating to the cause. Bright colorful posters are posted on the bulletin boards, reminding the students of the forthcoming event.

At nine on that morning, hundreds of small children filed past to receive their gifts from Santa Claus with many expressions of joy and eyes round with wonder. Mem- bers of the club assisted in the distribution of the bags which afforded a great thrill for the guests. They were later entertained by two cartoons and the current picture Reunion , featuring the Dionne Quintuplets. Iudging from several opinions, the organi- zation achieved its aim, and the party was a great success. On October 28, three nights before the spooks walked, Miss Clara Louise Arlitt entertained the society with a party in her lovely home. Initiation day was great fun for everybody, especially for the initiates who had their faces dipped in flour and Water and had to eat onions and raw oysters. Many lovely coiffures were exhibited that day while the initiates wore their hair in pigtails, or some other freakish manner. February II, the society attended the current picture Camille , showing at the Majestic Theater and featuring Greta Garbo and Robert Taylor. The picture, being historical, was in keeping with the purpose of the organization, so we attended in a body and had a grand time. Page 97 OFFICERS Full Term RUTH NIBLACK .,..,...... Pres.

Censor MISS CONCHA CHAPA Sponsor ln 1933, Miss Concha Chapa and Mrs. lulia Ball, realizing the need of an outdoor club in Brackenridge, organized the Modern Dianas Club. To foster sportsmanship among girls, to develop their skill in outdoor sports, to train them in the proper use of leisure time, and teach them to enjoy activities that are necessary to health are our purposes. Being interested in outdoor sports the name suggested for the club Was, The Modern Dianas after the Roman goddess, Diana, goddess of the chase. Diana forbade the approach of man so the appellation modern was added to the name of our organization. At least once each year the members defy Diana by having mas- culine representation at a party, or some other social function of major importance. The emblem of the club is a combined crescent moon and arrow. They are symbolical of the realm of the Roman goddess Diana who was the goddess of the moon and the chase. Each fall a mock initiation ceremony is held. A fitting costume is Worn at this occasion. Symbolic of Diana, each girl-initiate wears a silver cres- cent around her head and a bow and arrow across her breast. Page f 'l I 3 fl I+!

Several honorary members are included in our roster. Upon a vacancy, a nymph becomes a regular member, and a new girl fills the nymph's place. The principal sports enjoyed by the club at its outdoor functions are horseback riding, skating, and bicycling. Various types of in- door entertainment are also enjoyed. Many social affairs, such as the annual Christmas Party, are held in Harmony I-Iut. At this party, the members exchange gifts. Many entertaining programs and various forms of amusements are enjoyed by the club members. During the first Week of the fall term, a committee meeting is held at which time the plans for the year are made. At a business meeting the following week, these plans are completed. The third week a social meeting is held. These meetings continue to alternate each Wednesday throughout the year. The officers usually serve only one term but this year the same officers served during both terms and Miss Chapa was sole sponsor. Page 99 Ziegler. OFFICERS Fall Term DOROTHY VAKEY ..... ..Pres.

Club sponsors tor 1920 until 1924 were Miss Durrett, Miss Childress with Miss Fly, Miss Wimberly with Miss Yates, and Miss Wimberly with Miss King. Since 1924 Miss Wimberly has sponsored alone. Our theme, taken from Poe's H'l'he Gold Bug, is carried out in traditional events. Our motto is Knowledge is greater than wealth, and our emblem is a small gold-bug. In addition to varied programs each week, Mr. Gary, Mr. Kay, and Miss Moore give interesting talks during the year. The new members, dressed as pirates in purple and gold, are initiated With a secret ceremony, atter which they are taken to the park for a Wiener roast. Throughout the initiation, our theme and purpose are carried out. In the spring ot 1936 we had a banquet using the theme in decorations with pirates on the Wall, pirate ships along the table, and an attractive centerpiece made by Miss Williams depicting lean Latitte in a scene on Galveston Island.

While the Gold Bugs believe that Knowledge is greater than wealth, we also enjoy such good times as horseback rides, theatre parties, open house, a Home-Coming Tea, our All Girls' Party, Stunts Day, and a banquet at the end of the term. The first get-together this year was a l-lallowe'en Party. Then we celebrated Thanksgiving with a delightful formal party. At Christmas we welcomed old Santa. Next in line was a Valentine Tea. The Gold Bugs who have graduated always look forward to the Home-Coming when the new Gold Bugs heartily welcome them back, Our All Girls' Party was Colonial, being held on George VVashington's Birthday. lust as other clubs sponsor some major project, like a Book Week Assembly, or a Christmas Party for the Orphans, the Gold Bugs hold a Story Festival in honor of the mothers. This is the most pretentious undertaking of all our projects, Approximately twenty medals are awarded to the members who tell the best stories and write the best stories, poems, and legends. A l-lertzberg gold star is given the senior who writes the best short story. We close each year with a banquet honoring the new officers and graduating Gold Bugs.

At present, the club is sponsored by Miss Irene Henderson and Miss Agnes Iames. The Lanier Literary Society is composed of fifty regular members and twelve associates known as arrows. Our motto is, Work first, then play. At the Arrow Ceremony, the newly-elected members are ac- quainted with the requirements of a Lanier. Each officer of the club holds a golden arrow representing leadership, loyalty, scholarship, truth, character, and service. Following this ceremony, the new members undergo the rites and ceremonies of initiation. Everyone enjoys themselves at the mock initiation. This year it was held at Roosevelt Park and proved a splendid and fitting climax. Every year the most important project is the sponsoring of an assembly in celebration of National Book Week. This year a play entitled Cross My Palm with Silver was given. The scene was laid in a gypsy camp where Various book characters came to have their fortunes told. During book week each Lanier is required to make a poster. This year Helen Ioyce Schott and Dorothy Reidner were awarded first prize.

In celebration of the birthday of Sidney Lanier on February 1, the traditional Hboyless prom was held at the home of Lenora Ann Thompson. Each member represented a motion picture star. Prizes were awarded for the cutest couple, cutest boy, and the couple which best portrayed the characters chosen. The affair was by far the most enjoyable of the year and left only happy memories in our minds. The most formal event on the Lanier social calendar was the St. Patricks Day banquet held in March. The green and white colors of the Laniers, also significant of the day, were carried out in the decorative scheme. The identity of the toastmistress was held a secret until everyone at the banquet was seated. To be chosen as toastmistress is one of the highest honors a Lanier may attain. To conclude the social events of the season, a lovely tea was held in May at the home of one of the members. The newly-elected members and the out-going officers of the Laniers were the honorees at this gay occasion. Although a note of sadness enters into this, the last gathering of the year, it will always remain as a dear memory in the hearts of all Laniers.

The Brackenridge Student Council was organized purposely to receive training in civic leadership, to create and develop a zeal tor scholarship, to cooperate with the faculty in making the high school the best possible place tor cultural development, and to toster a spirit ot loyalty and cooperation to our school. This goal is gained by the cooperation and hard and earnest ettorts of the members. Each member ot this organization represents his, or her, own advisory. Therefore, there are seventyfseven regular members, and the presidents ot all the school clubs and organizations make up the honorary membership. A 2.5 average is required tor membership. The election ot the president is school-wide and takes place at the end ot the spring term. Any student may be nominated by an appointed committee and the sponsors. Page 105 Nia spd P5 M B9 I+!

The sale of these colors decides the amount in the clubs treasury. Another activity and one which is greatly beneficial to the school is the Lost and Found Department. Lost articles are turned in to this agency, tagged, and returned to the owner if possible. Various standing committees are appointed at the first of the term. The Thrift Committee is in charge of the banking, and the Courtesy Committee remembers our faculty and students in time of sorrow and sickness. A committee was appointed to compile a yell book. This book of school songs and yells made an attractive and useful book. A social committee was also appointed to plan the socials of the year. As the Student Council was organized purposely to aid the school, social activities are limited. The regular meetings are held every other Monday during the sixth period and are strictly busi- ness in nature. A Weiner roast is held once during the fall, and once during the spring. The main social event is the annual banquet held in the spring. The principal, vice-principal, dean and honorary members are the guests.

The Clio Club came into existence in the year l9l9 under the leadership of Miss Ora Iohnson. Its organization was for the pur- pose of training its members in parliamentary law and the art of extempore speaking. A short time later, Miss Adah Gibbons be- came the club sponsor and was instrumental in its change to a history club. Past members of the club write back to tell of their interest and pride in the outstanding progress of the Clios. The club has progressed by upholding the Clio Creed and by remaining true to the motto He conquers all Who conquers himself. This year the club has put on a series of delightful programs centering around Play Party Games of Texas which have inspired an attitude of gaiety and cheerful companionship among the mem- bers. The entire semester has been made a success by the lively cooperation and good spirits portrayed in all the undertakings of the Clios. At the business affairs, or social functions, one finds a general appearance of friendship and adoration for one another among the members. With delicious refreshments bringing an added delight to the programs and meetings, the Clios are proud to belong to such an outstanding organization.

The initiation at Brackenridge Park with the annual l, 2, 3 breakfast was held. Later on in the fall, the Cerelia, a festival honoring the mothers of the Clio Club members, was enacted by using the ancient Grecian customs which are sym- bolized by the club. Following an old Greek idea, the club dues were collected at this time. ln observance of Armistice Day, the Clios made poppies and presented each teacher with one on the day preceding the holiday. As new officers are elected each term, the group going into office in February is installed at a banquet in which the Grecian theme is again used. In the spring, the Rose Day Tea, honoring members of the faculty is the important social affair. At this time, roses and more roses permeate the school with their delicate perfume and radiant color. At the close of the program, each teacher is presented with a rose as a gesture of friendship. This undertaking brings to a close another successful social season of the year for the Clios, a club we strive to make an outstanding club of Brackenridge.

The Art Appreciation Club was organized by Miss Lucille Guerra in her senior year, IQ34, with the idea oi learning to appre- ciate natures beauties. At her invitation Miss Blanche Williams, oi the art department, became sponsor oi this new organization. The colors and flower are taken directly from nature f the rainbow and the bluebonnet. The emblem is the artists pallette. In tall, the club studied various quotations regarding the beauty oi autumn. They also studied literary descriptions ot the beauties oi nature so that members might understand iully the power oi ob- servation. Recently the club enjoyed a talk on the Orient by Miss Lewis. The club's custom is to sell hand-painted cards during Christmas to provide funds for the treasury. A cake sale was also held for this fund. The theme tor the year, The Beauty of San Antonio and Texas, was chosen from a group ot themes. Field trips were taken for this study. The club has business and social meetings on alter- nate weeks. At social meetings, refreshments are served and prov grams are given by appointed committees. An enjoyable party given at Dolly Sapsorrs home, and a banquet honoring our gradu- ates were the two most enjoyable socials of the spring term.

Our motto, The correct thing always de- scribes our purpose: to educate the high school girl in social graces and mannerisms so that she will be at ease in any group. ln keeping with the purpose of our club, We made a brief etiquette book in which we described the proper performance of many of the most common social conventionalities. So that other clubs might become familiar with our term project, we invited some clubs to contribute a page to our booklet, which was for the benefit of the entire student body. We also reviewed some etiquette books on our programs. initiation in The Charme Society is formal, however, new mem- bers were entertained with an informal initiation party at a club members home. We devoted most of our time this year to organi- zation. Our calendar for the year included parties, a horseback ride, a picnic, a weiner roast, and a skating party. An installation banquet, honoring seniors and new officers, was held in May. New members were voted on in Ianuary and September, H41 IH!!

The club is an organization of boys and is now sponsored by Mr. I. D. Cobb oi the Biology Department, and Miss Rose Davis ot the Physics Department serves as co-sponsor. One ot the most enjoyable meetings of the year was the one at which Mr. Cobb performed a number ot interesting experiments in physics and chemistry. At another meeting, Miss Moore discussed her trip to Longhorn Cavern. Mr. Gary's talk on his trip through Canada and the eastern states was very much appreciated. The club sponsored two special lectures, one on liquid air by Elliot Iames, and the other on the story ot light by Harry C. White. The Science Club was highly complimented on their initiation ceremonies this year. The initiates represented comets. From school, they were paraded down town, and then permitted to enjoy a picnic at Brackenridge Park. A Week-end visit was made to the Longhorn Cavern. The Science Club's Springtime Prom had its floor show broadcast over the radio and proved a huge success. The term's activities were climaxed by the annual banquet at the St. Anthony Hotel.

The Girl Reserves, famous for their high standards, maintain as their purpose To find and give the best and their motto is To make the Code live. The code is characteristic of all the ideals any girl might hope to possess. Under the splendid leadership of Misses Frey and Hale, the Blue Triangle with a GR has come to be re- spected. Our ambitious and industrious girls have endeavored to in- crease the treasury fund so that it might be used for some bene- ficial purpose. For over a week Wouldn't you like to buy some donuts, was the question of every girl. The results were very satis- factory. Besides working, however, we have had splendid pro- grams and socials too. Miss Lewis' excellent talk on her trip to the Orient was both interesting and instructive. A beautiful procession with lighted candles in the Y.W.C.A. offered a most impressive initiation ceremony. This started the ball rolling and the social activities were soon in full swing. With parties, council suppers, dances, theatre parties, and the like, we had plenty of entertainment. A lovely tea was planned in honor of the incoming freshmen at mid-term. Leave it to our Girl Reserves to have the fun? Page 111 OFFICERS Fall Term EDNA LA VERNE WOLVERTON Pres. EVELYN DIETERT . ...V.

Each December the members, dressed in togas, gather to cele- brate the picturesque Saturnalia. A Rex Familiae presides over the feast, While appropriate offerings are made to the Roman gods, gifts are exchanged, and timely tales are told. Mr. Gary, Mr. Kay, and Miss Moore were honored guests at this year's festival and music was furnished by Otto Ransleban, guest artist. Games, dances, and songs in Latin were a part of this annual celebration. There were many social events each season, prominent among which were the initiation, informal parties, and the farewell dinner for graduates. One meeting Was given to Mr. Gary, who after his summer vacation spent along the Pacific coast, gave a talk on the progress and peculiarities of the Northeast. Picnics and parties were in order during the spring term, but the most auspicious occasion was the celebration for the Bimillenium of Augustus.

From a debating club organized in 1917 by Miss Annie Iary, the Reagans have gradually developed into a general activity club. Although still often called the debating Reagansf' much ot our time has been given over to intra-mural sport activities. Before launching our program tor the year, each sport forms the subject ot a debate. At the end of the year, the high-point man receives a gold medal. ln order to insure getting good material into our club, the Reagans have set up certain standards for membership. The candi- dates have to be recommended by a teacher, they must have a good general record, make tair grades and be of good character. lf they pass these requirements, a committee recommends them to be voted on by the members. Complete reorganization ot the club was begun last spring under the sponsorship of Mr. Loettler and has been continued this year. Aside from the interest in sports, the Reagans have entered into and enjoyed various social activities. First, came the initiation ceremony and its attending social feature. Then came picnics, parties and dances and invitations to participate in activities spon- sored by other clubs. Thus another happy club year came to an end.

Adelante siempre adelante, or Forward, always forward, is the motto ot the Los I-lidalgos Club which was founded in 1921. Our purpose is to acquaint and associate ourselves with other Spanish-speaking students ol Brackenridge, and to help in all school activities. The sponsors are Miss Ethel Iones and Mrs. Grace P. Carter. Their help has always been invaluable to the club. Among this years activities was a presentation Noche Espanola in which all participating were club members. One of our instructive meetings was when we were invited to hear a talk on Mexico given by Mr. Cornelius and sponsored by the Pan- American Club. The Los Hidalgos basketball team enjoyed partici- pating in the 'Apple Bowl Tournament. Our club sponsors a paper called Las Chispitasf' meaning Little Sparks. The main social feature which is held every year at the close ot school is the banquet, in which spring graduates are honored. Lively parties on such occasions as Christmas, Hallowe'en, and initiation day are also given. Outside of the banquet, our other gatherings were held at the homes ot ditterent members. A lively picnic was included among our many yearly activities. The past year held many good times for the Los Hidalgos Club.

Every Girl Scout uses this motto continuously in performing services for her community. She trains herself by action, observation, and thought, learns to live in the open, shift for herself, and care for her health. The symbol is the trefoil, the three leaves of which symbolize the three parts of the Girl Scout promise. The Brackenridge High School troop, which is troop Number l of San Antonio, Texas, was organized in l926 by Mrs. Marguerite Plummer. The members have taken courses in first aid and flag signaling. They have presented dramatizations representing the laws, and have learned many Scout songs. Other than the regular patrol and business meetings, various outdoor activities are held monthly at the Scout Camp in Bandera, private ranches, and various parks. Mrs. Mattie Mitchell and Miss Elizabeth Martin are our present sponsors. Because the Girl Scout Organization is international, there are many occasions in which all troops of the city participate. The most outstanding event is the annual banquet at which time each troop represents a nation. A group of representative Scouts in native dress take part in an international flag drill. This program especially compliments our foreign guests. Page 115 Fall Term LOUISE OLFERS .. . ..Pres. CARMEN HAYE . . ..V. Pres. IANIE LOUISE CONWAY .Sec'y EILEEN LEWIS .

The purpose of the club is to work on the herbarium for Bracken- ridge High School. The change in the name of the club was prompted by the nature of the work, which was largely mounting flowers for our permanent collection. The collection now numbers more than ZOO specimens of flowers and 40 specimens of leaves. This collection is increased as new specimens are found. These leaves and flowers are mounted on white paper and cellophane envelopes are made for each mount. This prevents the breaking of the specimens when they are used by classes in biology and botany. Occasionally this collection is entered in flower exhibits at the Witte Museum. Once a month our club period is devoted to social activities, and refreshments are served. The members especially enjoy outings known as field days, when the club meets at some park to gather flowers and leaves. The most enjoyable event this year was the picnic at Brackenridge Park where members enjoyed horseback riding. A valentine party, and a swimming party, honoring gradu- ating members, added two more happy occasions to our social calendar.

The German Club of Brackenridge was organized in 1927 for the purpose of teaching its members something about German customs and culture. Its motto became Tue Recht und scheue niemandf' meaning Do right and fear no one. A capital German D on a blue background with an encircling golden wreath is the club emblem. Miss Leilet Richter is our loyal sponsor. The German Club has had several very interesting programs this year. Mrs. Staffel told the club about her trip to Vienna and other European cities. Miss Lewis gave the club a wonderful talk on her trip to China and Iapan. Several musical programs were given during the meeting in the last few months. A favorite song of the club is Schnitzelbank which is sung very often at meetings and parties. The initiation of new members into the club proved very enterf taining. The initiation was distinctly German. For instance, initiates had to pronounce words like ''Neapolitanischerdudelsack- pfeifergeselleu and other tongue twisters. To carry on other social purposes, the club has social hours in school, parties at various homes, and several picnics. Each year a fine banquet and theater party is given for the outgoing senior members of the club. Ingo 117 chbcra.

The club has done very well under Miss Willie Rae McDonald, our present sponsor. The Purple Masauers is one of the most unique literary clubs. The new members are initiated with a formal ceremony. Our weekly meetings have various programs which are very interesting, as well as educational. At times the members present a sketch of the life history of some important character. Each member makes a poster, and at the end of the year they are judged, and the winner receives a prize. The most important social activity of the year is the Annual Drama Week Tea held in February. Much effort and sincere work is put forth by the Masguers to make this event a success. This year the club chose as a guest speaker Mrs. E. P. Arneson who gave very interesting reviews of the latest plays on Broadway. The faculty, the clubs, and the student body of Brackenridge were our guests.

It was founded in l927 with Mrs. Iessie Abbott as sponsor, and in 1932 Miss Stella Smith became co-sponsor. Miss Mary Margaret I-laring became sponsor in 1936. The motto for this club is What the brain can conceive, the hand can execute. The BBB. is the only club in Brackenridge that has a uniform. The uniform consists of a green sweater with three gold B's placed diagonally across the front, worn with a white shirt and white skirt, or slacks, since this is a coeducational club. Wednesday is club day, and all members wear their uniforms on that day. Meetings are held each week and business and social affairs are alternated weekly. A Halloween Party, held at the home of Richard Petrie, was the first social function of the year. Dancing and appropriate games made this a gay affair. With the beginning of the new term there was an ice skating party which proved to be a very popular type of party. As a farewell party and a gesture of appreciation, the retiring officers were honored with a banquet at a hotel. Page 120 f H X 3 bil M 9' 'f I+! Q U Sas!

The club was organized in 1928, but remained a nameless orphan until l934 when it was called Alice Stone Chapter of Quill and Scroll after Alice Stone, the first sponsor of The Times. Miss Miller is the sponsor of this Chapter and together with Miss Scholz and Miss Richter determine the eligibility of its membership. lnez Heard, first term president, set out to show Brackenridge that Quill and Scroll wasn't just a figurehead. Funds for the treasury being necessary, a few members set up their wares on Hay Market Plaza one day, calling, Bummage Salel Muchas Cheap! The five weary students were comforted because they were 265.45 richer. The raffle of a dinner set donated by the House! hold Furniture Company swelled the treasury by 51000. All work and no play makes Quill and Scroll a dull club, so whenever they felt the urge, members trotted over to Pop Strunlds to indulge in hot dogs, cokes, colored soda pop, hamburgers, or pie topped with ice cream. The second terms program was en! livened by a banquet in Ianuary, the Quill and Scroll-B. B. B. Prom in February, and by a formal initiation luncheon in March. l'r1.gfz 121 Erlurth.

For many years the need for some uniform national scholarship society had been felt by educational leaders. Various local societies were established, it is true, but all had different names and were not national in scope. The advantage of national recognition to worthy students was an important factor in the organization in i924 by the National Association of Secondary School Principals of what is now called the National Honor Society. The rules and activities of the society are directed by a National Council consisting of nine members who are elected by the National Association of School Principals. The fusion of the many local societies throughout the United States was the beginning of what is now one of the most noted and highly honored orders for high school students. The Brackenridge Chapter, known as Chapter l26, was formed in l924 under the guidance of Mr. Marshall lohnson, then principal of Brackenridge. Since its inception into the national organization, Mrs. Bessie Lee Dickey Roselle has sponsored the Brackenridge Chapter. From a society of eight, it has grown to a membership of eighty this year. The primary qualification for membership is scholarship. From the third of seniors having the highest scholastic average, the faculty elects fifteen per cent of the senior class to membership. Besides qualifying in scholarship, a student must have ren- dered valuable service to the school during his entire high school career. This recognition may be attained by being an officer in a club, or class, by editing annuals or papers, or participating in school and extra-curricular events to the extent of distinguishing himself.

The emblem of the National Honor Society consists of a gold shield lettered with the initials of the four foundation principles of the order-C.S.L.S. signifying character, service, leadership, and scholarship. Many young lives have been influenced by the ideals which these letters symbolize and the honor of belonging to a society having such high standards is a shining goal to which hundreds of Braclcenridge seniors strive each year. A beauti- ful certificate of membership bearing the Brackenridge seal and a replica of the emblem of the society is presented to each student when received into the society. While other organizations of Brackenridge recognize scholarship as a requisite for membership, the National Honor Society goes further in that it insists that the candidates achieve outstanding recognition through their application to the four cardinal principles upheld by the national organization, namely: character, service, leadership and scholarship. The annual initiation ceremony is held late in spring and is under the direction of Mrs. Roselle. This service proves to be one of the most impressive features of the commence- ment season. It draws the attention and interest of the entire school because of its beauty and impressiveness. A beautiful ritual is used and classical costumes are worn. The service is built around the four requirements for membershipg character, service, leadership, and scholarship. Leaders in the lunior and Sophomore classes represent these qualities and interpret their meaning in an impressive manner. Then follows the solemn procession of initiates who come to the stage and receive their certificates of membership. I'r1.ye 12-3' ag Ju 79 B9 M Hl-Y C LU B X3 f W t I 08.

The motto, To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and com- munity, higher standards of living , is felt and respected by all of its members. Since l929, Mr. H. R. Alberts has been the adviser and sponsor of the club. After he left, Mr. Higclon became sponsor. When a young man Wishes to enter our club he is asked if he understands the meaning of our purpose. When the time arrives for boys to become acquainted With our emblems and symbols, the older members give to the new members this information about our creed and motto. By maintaining an atmosphere against certain objectional vices, the motto of the Hi-Y is carried out very effectively by its members. At our Weekly meeting nights at the Y.M.C.A. the members of the club are given the privileges of the swimming pool and basket- ball courts. Besides this, parties are given for the members at the home of some of the members. Banquets are also given at, and through the cooperation of, the Y.M.C.A. The older boys' conference given each year is represented by a group of boys from each I-IifY Club.

Reilly. lt is an organization providing the cadets with a thorough knowledge of military science and tactics. The R.O.T.C. marches in all civic parades, such as Armistice Day, Army Day, San lacinto Day, and all pilgrimages. The Brackenridge High School Cadet Corps is com- posed of four companies and a band. Reviews are held weekly, and at the end of each month an honor banner is awarded to the company having the highest rank. A federal inspection is held each year, and for the last three or four years our corps has been awarded the red star, signifying a rating of honor. This year our rating was excellent and Colonel Em- mariueli encouraged us by saying that if a higher rating were possible, Brackenridge would have received it. Out of the cadet corps has evolved a club known as the Medalmen. The club is exclusive because only students who have won medals are entitled to membership. For youths who show more than average ability in military pursuits, there is also organized each year a crack company. Its members receive intensive training for a period of several months, and then demonstrate their ability in an exhibition drill. On Field' Day, when competitive drills are held, medals and sabers are given to the best drilled cadets. ln the past few years it has been the custom of the Commissioned and Non-Com- missioned officers to form clubs known as the Officers' Club and the Non-Com. Club, respec- tively. The purpose of both clubs is to promote a better understanding and brotherly feeling among the cadet officers, uniting them in order to further the development of the battalion.

S ponsor The Cadet Sponsors of Brackenridge High School are a group of senior girls selected for their excellent character and high scholastic standing. A list of eligible girls is first voted upon by the faculty of Brackenridge and then by the cadets of the R.O.T.C. Battalion. They serve as a unit within a unit, as the major officers of each company have a sponsor. To remain in this organization, a girl must show conduct that will be a credit to the school and an inspiration to the Battalion. A sponsor must also be neat and dignified, and must keep her average above a certain grade point. The sponsors wear an attractive uniform of purple and white and participate in all cadet functions, reviews, and parades. ln the fall, the Armistice Day Parade was the highlight for every sponsor and cadet, as it was the first public occasion in which the uniforms were worn. The sponsors' social calendar for the year l936-1937 was a very full one with the Ex- sponsors' banquet in October and the Rum- mage Sale and Officers' and Sponsors' joint social in November. ln Ianuary, the sponsors entertained the retiring officers with a banquet. A tea honoring the mothers of the sponsors was given in February. The first social held in April was a Morning Coffee given in honor of the lefferson Sponsors. On April 23, the Bat- talion gave their annual dance. Field Day was also of major importance as Brackenridge at that time competed with Iefferson in numerous military maneuvers. The last, and most be- loved, event of the year was the Mothers' Day Review in May. At this review, the sponsors took complete charge and gave all commands and orders. This organization is sponsored by Miss Iewel Franklin, Miss Eleanor Bennett, and Major B. I. Reilly. The Sponsor Club is main- tained to promote good fellowship. Page 131 4 .

W MISS IESTON DICKEY MRS. B, L. D. ROSELLE MISS IEWEI.. FRANKLIN MR. E. C. BARKSDALE The department of speech in Brackenridge I-ligh School endeavors to give more thorough development in the ability to express ideas, and to read and interpret literature more effectively. It also trains the student to have self- assurance, better diction, and a more pleasing voice. ln short, the courses are a means toward development of mind, body, language and voice. Dramatics, debate, extempore speaking, and declamation are the phases of public speak- ing given a place on our curriculum. In dramatics, any student with the least desire to display his talent of acting finds an unusual amount of help and interest. A class is given four or five plays, each requiring from two to ten characters. The parts are assigned, and a week of rehearsing follows. Then comes the week of production, and each play is presented in costume on our Toy Theatre stage. Every char- acter is criticized by the audience and the director at the close of the play. These criticisms are good for the players for they see their bad points and learn to correct them. This year an extra amount of time and study has been spent in the reading of classical plays and books which teach the essentials of good acting. These books taught the importance of pantomime, diction, char- acterizations, voice culture, make-up of the stage, and correct posture. Prom this reading course, students learned the important points of acting, and also the difficult, but interesting, Work it requires. Under the direction of Miss Ieston Dickey, the dramatics department has undertaken many projects in the past months. The fifth annual Purple Parade opened the season in October featuring three plays and several variety num- bers. They were: The Lord's Prayer , Thank You Doctor , Gold by Dickey and Roselle, and numbers by the entertainers class. A new feature, A Masqued Ball, followed at the close of the program and met with much success. The Lord's Prayer repeated for the D.A.R. Organization, the Optimist Club, and, by request, for the Dramatic Week program in the Witte Museum. The Armistice Assembly included groups of' tableaux and scenes representing the effect of the World War in America, and for the Christmas assembly a dramatization of the famous Why The Chimes Rang was given. Ianuary saw the presentation of the Hlanuary Iubilee which featured Rooms to Let , Querida , One Hundred Per Cent and some dance numbers. An interesting item is that Brackenridge Day at K. T. S. A. was under the direction almost entirely of speech-department students.

A splendid piece of work was done with Alley Mussey as Dick Babb, Elizabeth DeBello as Mandy Coulter, Winfield Sweet as Ieff Coulter, Ioe Mack as Preacher, and Mary Louise Linder as Ma. The doubles were Doris Colosia, Bill Robinson and Evelyn Thigpin. The Brackenridge cast was ranked second, with Elizabeth DeBello as the best girl actor, Alley Mussey as the second best boy actor, and Winfield Sweet as the third best boy actor. Although one of the newest contests in the lnterscholastic League, the externpore contest is recognized as a potent factor in fitting the youth for citizenship, since to be an acceptable speaker one must be conversant with state, national, and international affairs. The extempore class is a group of seasoned speakers who, each year, under the direction of Mrs. B. L. D. Roselle, contend for the privilege of representing Brackenridge in the League contest. To win a state trophy, a speaker must survive the city, district, regional, state preliminary, and final contests at Austin. Within recent years this school has won four state trophies and four second places in extempore speaking. Last year Kathleen Iones captured the state cup and Roy Swayze placed second for boys. We were represented this year by Ieanne Westerhoff and Roy Swayze. Roy defeated Iefferson at the city meet, but in the district meet was placed second. Winning 65, and losing 12 debates, in practice tournaments against some of the strongest teams in the state, sweeping city championship in both boys' and girls' divisions, the Brackenridge debate teams enjoyed the usual success- ful debate year. The boys also won the District Championship, and represented Brackenridge at the regional meet held in San Marcos April 24th. The question for debate, Resolved, that the manufacture of munitions of war should be a government monopoly, was discussed in tournaments in Houston, San Antonio, Yoakum, Dallas, Abilene and Austin. ln each of these tournaments, our teams went either to, or nearly to, the finals. Among the teams met and defeated by Brackenridge were Iefferson and Alamo Heights of San Antonio, Reagan and Houston of Houston, Abilene, Wichita Falls, Masonic Home and Polytechnic of F t. Worth, North Dallas, Port Arthur, Corpus Christi, and Harlingen. Members of the boys' team were Harold Alberts, Ted Waller, E. A. Givens, and Raymond Crawford. Girl debaters were Clara Louise Arlitt and Mary Elizabeth Stath. The teams were coached by E. C. Barksdale. Their splendid record shows them worthy exponents of the forensic art. The declamation contest is a medium of speech activity with great edu- cational possibilities. The declaimers gain self-confidence, ease, poise, and grace. The subjects are prose selections intended to lead the students to study the problems of our American system of government and to incite in speakers and hearers aspirations toward a better citizenship. A student who has reached, or passed, his or her nineteenth birthday may not enter, nor may one enter who has not passed in the last term, or is not passing in the present term, at least three half-unit credit courses. The Brackenridge High School students who entered the contest for 1937 were chosen from the second term public speaking classes and coached by Miss Iewel Franklin. Klare Moyer, speaking on Homeless America by Probst, and Gloria Dawn Blue, speaking on National Apostasy by MacCartney, represented Brackenridge in the city meet in which Gloria Dawn won first place.

Or- chestra is a college credit and students have various opportunities to earn scholarships. Colleges feel the need of a good college orchestra and, therefore, welcome students who have had training such as is available here in Brackenridge. Our orchestra takes part in all such entertainments at school as the Purple Parade, the Senior lamboree and the Ianuary lubilee. Programs are often given at other schools, and for clubs and civic organizations. At Music and Romance , the show given by the band and orchestra to raise funds to send students to contests and to the National Music Educators Conference in Tulsa, Okla- homa, the orchestra had the honor to play Mr. Zoeller's composition Waltz Rornantiqueu for the public for the first time. This presentation proved to be one of the highlights of the program. The orchestra plays such well known compositions as March Slave by Tschaikowsky, Egmont by Beethoven, Surprise Symphony by I-Iaydn and Danse Orientale by Lubomirsky. The orchestra hopes to have a larger membership for next year so as to have a better instrumentation. There is a need for additional instruments such as a bass violin, cello, viola, tuba and French horn. With the addition of these instruments, and a piano for the music roorn, the work of the orchestra would be helped in a material way.

The Brackenridge High School Band, under the capable direction of Mr. Otto Zoeller, takes an outstanding part in all school activities. Our band consisting of 80 pieces went to Kingsville to the State Band Contest where it was placed second in rank. At the Battle of Flowers Band Tournament Brackenridge won first place in both marching and concert band. With the splendid spirit that each bandsman shows, the B.H.S. Band is sure to maintain its high standards and bring new honors to Brackenridge each year, We should have a larger band and it is our earnest hope that Brackenridge will show increased interest in music and make this possible in the near future. The band has appeared on the program for many entertainments at school, including the B. I-l.S. Open House, The Purple Parade, and the show presented by the Instrumental Music Department, Music and Romance. The band also assists on many programs outside of school. ln its repertoire are some of the best known compositions as the finale from The World Symphony by Dvorak, Overture to Rienziu by Wagner, Oberon by Weber, and The Triumph of Alexander by Richards. Mr. Zoeller, our director, was elected to be chairman of the state of Texas for the South- western Music Educators' Conference. Virgil Lehmberg, Elmer Wilke, lrving Dreibrodt, and Dorothy Fresenius accompanied Mr. Zoeller to the Conference and played in the 150 piece Conference Band under the direction of William D. Revelli of the University of Michigan. Mr. Zoeller was instrumental in bringing this conference to San Antonio for 1939. it 1 ,.

GLEE CLUBS Approximately three hundred and fifty students elect glee club, chorus and harmony each semester in Brackenridge High School. Mrs. Mary Wangler is the director of the Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs and the Mixed Chorus. Miss Maurine lohnson conducts the chorus classes. The chorus classes meet every other day. The fundamentals of singing and an appreciation of music are the main objectives of this course. lt is not necessary to be able to sing before entering a chorus class. These classes do not make public performances. lf an exceptional voice is discovered, the girl is recommended for glee club. The student is given the opportunity of becoming familiar with the better music by singing and through listening to it. lf she learns to appreciate music well enough to spend some of her leisure hours in the future listening to good music, the course will have been a success. New classes in harmony, which teach the Oxford Piano Course, are an innovation. Brackenridge is the only high school in the south presenting this fine method. College entrance credit is given in harmony and the course provides musically talented students a practical experience in piano playing, writing music, creative harmonization and compo- sition. Mrs. Wangler introduced the course and has started thirty young pianists in a fascin- ating study, which will lead to a greater cultural enjoyment in the future. The class is for those who otherwise would not be able to have piano lessons. Another new organization is the Mixed Glee Club of seventy members, which might well be called The Cpera Class , as it is presenting the grand opera Carmen , by Bizet. At least one term of singing is neces- sary to become a member of the Mixed Glee Club. Top Row:-Rudi, Pres., Deyo, ViceePres., Davis, Se-c'y., B.

GLEE CLUBS 'Live your music, enjoy your singingln adrnonishes Mrs. Wangler, and all her energy, talent and training are given to help students accomplish this end. Musical productions, grand operas and concerts are well attended by members of the Glee Clubs. Several boys and girls have become members of the adult section of the Southwest Music Festival Chorus, and sang with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra when it came to San Antonio in April. The Beginning Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs are taught how to produce natural, open, joy ous tones and are quickly led from unison sorigs that they know and love, to sight-reading of many new, good songs in two, three and four parts, Theory, music appreciation, and the history of musical composers are correlated with the singing. Students are urged to keep singing in local organizations when they leave school. Thus the aim of the department is carried over into the future lives of its members. The happiness and welfare of the adolescent is always consid red first. Perfection of production is secondary to the consideration and kindness due high sc tool students. The vocal department presented numbers at the Purple Parade, Senior lambome, the Lions Club, the Baptist Temple, two P. TA. meetings, the Business and Professional Womens Club, the lunior Federation of Music Clubs, Badio Station K. T.S.A., the lan tary lubilee, flood relief programs at Tech and Lanier, the George Washington program, the listrumental Departments Musical Review, the opera l'Carmen , the contest of the Federated Music Clubs, and at graduation. Mrs. Wangler was soloist at the Senior lamboree, and presented a dramatic scene from the opera Faust't in costume at the Drama Week Program, accompanied by Miss lohnson.

The paper is financed by the San Antonio Board of Education and is printed by the student printers of the San Antonio Vocational and Technical School. ln addition to contributions from the various advisories, the paper helps to defray expenses by supporting the Ianuary jubilee, from which it receives half of the profits. Supplying the material for publication are the three journalism classes com- posed of approximately fifty student reporters. The present faculty sponsor is Miss Mary Elizabeth Miller, and Mrs. Zora Melton is faculty business manager. Last spring, The Times won first place honor rating in the Quill and Scroll Achievement Contest. Contests entered. this year were the National Group Contest sponsored by Quill and Scroll, the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, The National Scholastic Press Association, the Texas High School Press Association, and the lnterscholastic League Press Conference held annually at the University of Texas, Austin, Texas. Among the many interesting projects sponsored by The Times was a Clean-up Campaign. Out of this campaign came Little Eftremeriahu, which is a new kind of editorial. ln each issue there appeared a short story concerning the daily doings of Little Effremeriah, the typical student of today. Another praiseworthy project was the Literary Supplement. Each English teacher was asked to send in any Work that was, in her opinion, exceptional. From this the staff and sponsor selected enough essays, poems, book reviews, and editorials to fill four pages, which were printed in addition to the regular four pages. The annual Times Tennis Tournament was another project sponsored by The Times in which the winner was presented with a trophy. Working on the high school paper gives the journalism student a great deal of worth- while training in newspaper work. l-le learns the principles of news, sports, feature, column, editorial, and headline writing. ln addition he is acquainted with the art of make up, copy reading, and proof reading. The staff goes to the print shop at the San Antonio Vocational Page 148 S3 0, ,Q M ' vw I l T H E T I M E S and Technical School after school to read proof and to make up the paper. Several of the students have learned the principles of the linotype machine and can operate it. From the increased enrollment in journalism, this subject seems to have grown popular. Three students won honors in the National Group Contest sponsored by Quill and Scroll. Majorie House won fifth place in the South Central States for her feature story, honorable mention in the South Central States went to leanne Westerhoff for her headline, and to Era lean Bates, for her sports story. In the Texas High School Press Association Contest, Nellie Gray Wright won second place in the state for her feature story. The paper won third place in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Contest. The Times of Brackenridge, and The Technician ot San Antonio Vocational and Technical School were named the two best Class A papers in the Southwest District by the lnterscholastic Press Association, and as a result they were privileged to send two delegates each to the conference held at the University of Texas. These representatives took part in the various contests such as editorial writing, copy reading, headline writing, proof reading, news, feature, and sports story writing. Because of the lnterscholastic League eligibility requirements, several changes were made on the staff at mid-term. Ioe Naylor was promoted to editorfinfchief for the spring term, Mildred Vogt was made Sponsors Assistant, Dorothy Dunawoy, managing editor, Mary Martha Anderson, associate editor, leanne Westerhoff, society editor, Lila Leigh Hill, feature editor, Emil Offer, sports editor, Olive Humble, girls' sports editor, Geraldine Villarreal ROTC. editor, Darlene Durham, and Adeline Powell, exchange editors, and Mary Pat Randall, circulation manager.

Even then, it was necessary to speed up our work be- cause of the delayed opening date of school. A prolonged vacation was the occasion of rejoicing until we realized how soon our discount day in December would roll around. With the vim and enthusiasm that our thirty salesmen showed in the sales campaign, to say nothing of the grim determination and courage of our editor-in-chief, Kathryn Rowell, it didn't take long for things to take shape. The usual amount of copy was ready for our first discount day, and all records were broken in annual sales. Close to 900 were sold and Dorothy F laig won the trophy for having sold the most, with Minnie Lee Brown second. Both are to be highly congratulated and commended for their work. No less appreciative are we of the Work of Virginia Hensley and Ben I. McCall, who received free copies of La Retama for having sold over fifty copies. In connection with our sales campaign, we wish to acknowl- edge the help given us in the way of publicity by the Student Council and the Public Speaking Department. The latter helped by sending speakers to all sophomore English classes in order to acquaint and interest them in La Retama. The Student Council gave publicity to the week of picture taking and entered heartily into the plan by which advisories competed for prizes given to the five advisories having the highest percent. The winning advisories were I. Dickey, M. Dickey, Stratton, Scholz and VVharton.

We had heard that other art staffs have made linoleurn block prints for their annual, so we not only ventured to do the same but went one step further, and that was to hand-tint portions of the designs. Though this saved the expense of having an engraver make the cuts, the project meant an endless amount of labor on the part of the art committee. Twenty students the first term, and forty students the second term, gave one hour a day to this work. We hope the colorful touch given to our book by this hard working grouo will receive the kindliest of criticism because part of the work was done by inexperienced students, and all of it was done under the pressure of too little time for exercising the care that well finished work needs to be given, To Mrs. Barron and her art committee of last spring, consisting of Mildred Bates, Fred Arthur Brockway, David Payne, Priscilla Williamson and Otto Bansleben should be given credit for designing and cutting the blocks, and for the hand coloring all thanks must be given to the forty odd names appearing on the opposite page. ln the early spring, all efforts were bent toward making a success of our advertising campaign. Last year netted us 55500, but Kathryn was determined that that wasn't good enough. With Virginia, equally ambitious, and faithful Mrs. Bowell to chauffeur, or lend the car, results were not long in coming. Glenetta was also initiated into the art of solicit- ing for advertising, and every day this group made the rounds, so that by the time the S600 mark was reached their boldness and courtge knew no bounds. We verily believe Kathryn could make a stone image respondl Others on the staff showed the same spirit, for had it not been for the efficient work of Mar tuerite, Minnie Lee and Thelma who were left to carry on at school, the annual could not have reached completion. He-re's hoping the reward for all of us will be a pleased student body and another All American annual. Side Panel: La Retarncfs prize group- a bunch of high powered annual salesmen.

Members of the German Department write all the articles. lt is the only German newspaper in Texas that is published by high school students. Hueben und Drueben has just ended the tenth year of publication. The first issue of Hueben und Drueben was published in 1927. Gus Nau and Mildred Phillipus acted as co-editors. Single copies of the publication were sold for five cents. During the second year Hueben und Drueben was edited by Otto Holekamp and Edgar Schilo. This was the first year that subscriptions were sold, The price was thirty-five cents for the school year. The students also sold advertisements. The price was fifty cents for a column inch. Elizabeth Caruthers was the third editor of the paper. Subscriptions were raised to fifty cents. ln the fourth year twins, Elizabeth and Margaret Wagner, were co-editors. William Reichmuth and Lois Mae Riedner edited Hueben und Drueben through- out the fifth year. Eor the next two years the subscription price was thirty-five cents. Stanley Schmidt edited Hueben und Drueben during the sixth year. Elizabeth Garms acted as editor during the seventh year and Eileen Zipp in the eight year. ln the ninth year, Hueben und Drueben was edited by Evelyn Willmann. Many students who have worked on the Hueben und Drueben staff have become mem- bers of Quill and Scroll. This organization is made up of students who have done outstand- ing work on high school publications. Work on the Hueben und Drueben staff is taken into consideration when National Honor students are elected. Most members of the Hueben und Drueben staff are members of this honor society. Members of the German department write all the articles that appear in the paper. The students may write about news of the school, the German Club, or important happenings in Germany. ln every issue, the life of some famous German man appears. Several German students correspond with boys and girls in Germany. Many of these letters appear in Hueben und Drueben. Work on the Hueben und Drueben staff is taken as a half-time subject and students re- ceive a half credit. Writing articles for Hueben und Drueben has done the students much good. ln writing their articles the students greatly increase their German vocabulary. Many articles are condensed from German newspapers and magazines. Articles about modern Germany must be written in the modern German language. The students also get much practice in translating English into German. Nearly all students write their articles in Eng- lish and then translate them. Brackenridge can justly be proud of its German paper. May Hueben und Drueben continue in its good work. Individuals: - Top Row: - Habluetzel, Seele, Gleiser. The editor surrounded by cl busy staff.

A GIFT OF GOD Everyone pauses to greet the spring And songs of praise to God they sing, For though they fail to see Him near They feel and know His presence clear. For He the master artist is, The world His canvas true, First green He uses as a base Then flowers to suit of queenly grace.

Shortly after this victory for the Birds, the Tivy Antlers journeyed down to Eagle Field to pile up an enormous score on the Eagles. The Warbirds were paralyzed against the fast running attack of the mountain boys. Time after time, the Antlers ran over touchdowns, amounting to eight in all. The Eagles prevented a shutout by a touchdown made by Ioe Rine from a line plunge in the last two minutes of play. The score ended in a 49-6 victory for the Antlers. Bad luck seemed to stare at the Birds from every side, as the Austin Maroons took the Eagles with a heartbreaking score of 25-U on a wet and slippery field, eliminating them from any hope of the district championship. Losing to the Tech Buffalos 23-0, shut out the Warbirds from winning the city championship. The team fought hard but were unable to stop the outstanding work of the Tech gridsmen. For the second time in the history of the school, the Ieflerson Mustangs did the unexpected, by defeating the Eagles by one point at the Thanksgiving Day Game. Hopes were high for the Birds until the half, when the Ponies led a running attack to chalk up two touchdowns and one extra point. The Eagles scored two times in the early part of the game but were unable to make the extra points. Vernon Stipp intercepted a short Ietf pass and ran 79 yards for a touchdown for their first score, while Bill Milner also intercepted a Ieff pass and made a 45 yard run for the second score of the Birds. The game was a rough and tough battle every minute of play, but the Nags lucked out as the game ended with a close score of 13-12. Vernon Stipp, Dean Moore, and Phil Scott, for their good work, were placed on the Light, Express, and News all-city teams.

Although the Eagles lost out in the second round of play, the Eagle Cagers gained much experience and practice in the tournament. leff Davis, of Houston, was the winner, topping sixteen other schools. Tech was the only San Antonio team that survived until the semi- finals, when they were beaten by Austin. Brackenridge met Del Bio in the first round, defeating them 41-21. They then met Ieff Davis, the winning team, and were defeated 46-19. The Eagle Cagers' first game in the city league series was a victory of 23-22 over lefferson. Their next opponents were the Tech Buffalos. This was a fast moving game in which the Birds won out with a score of 27-23. Two successive victories for the Eagles gave them high hopes for the future. The third opposing team for the Birds was Lanier. Our defeat of 60-31 did not discourage the Eagles. lanuary 26, brought the Eagles and Mustangs together again in a game that resulted in the second defeat for the Birds, the score being 22-45. Next, they met the Tech Buffalos, believed to be Brackenridges' most serious problem. How- ever, the Eagles brought home the bacon with a score of 25-24. The Technicians led the game by a small margin until the last minute of play when Curtis Klaerner shot the decisive two points, winning the game for the Birds. The hopes of the Eagles were running high when they met Lanier for the second time and won out with a score of 34 for Brackenridge, and 26 for Lanier. On February 5, a crowd of eager fans saw the Eagle team go down in defeat as the lefferson Mustangs nosed out all hope for the city championship. At the end of the first half, the score was 18 to 15, but during the last half, owing to the brilliant playing of Mike Ball, leff Ace, the Ponies piled up point after point, winning the game 37-28. The third game against Tech resulted in a victory for the Buffalos as they downed the Birds 28-23. Although the Eagle team played a fine game, the Tech men were hard to stop. This defeat of the Eagles tied them for second place in the city with Tech. The Eagles lost the last game on February 15 to Lanier 32-49, this loss dropping the Eagles to third place when the season ended.

These records were set in the half mile, the 220-yard dash, the shot put, cmd the mile relay. Iefferson won the meet for the seventh time, scoring 76112 points. The Eagles placed second with 49 points. Two Brackenridge tracksters set new records in this meet. Billy Markette clipped a half second off the old record of the 220-yard dash. He ran it in 23 seconds flat. A new shot put record was set by Max Kinzel when he pushed the weight 48 feet, 8 inches. The distance of the old record was 48 feet, 2 inches set in 1929. Three Brackenridge tracksters placed on the high point list. Edward Dreiss was high point man with 12 points, Kinzel placed second high with 10174 points, and Markette was third with nine points. In the 1936 dis- trict meet, Brackenridge placed two men first: Charles Hargrove in the 120-yard high hurdles and Max Kinzel in the shot put. Kinzel broke the record in this event by throwing the shot two feet further than the previous district record of 45 feet. Billy Markette, Phil Scott and Edward Dreiss were the other members of the track team who placed in this meet. Brackenridge took third place at the regional meet in San Marcos last spring and Dreiss, Markette, Kinzel and Scott were the representatives from the Eagle Squad. In the state meet, two Brackenridge stu- dents, Ed Dreiss and Charles Hargrove, took first place in their heats of the 120 high hurdles, but were unable to repeat in the finals. The 1937 track team dropped to third place in the city meet, as Iefferson chalked up 86 points, Tech 41, and Brackenridge 39. The Brackenridge relay team came in first and Milner made a splendid showing by winning the half-mile run far ahead of any possible rival. The Brackenridge thinly clads ran the mile relay in 3:27.2, anew record compared to the old one of 3:36.8. The trackmen that won first places in the city meet were Billy Milner in the half mile, and Grady Corbell in the pole vault. Second places were won by Hal Landrum in the 120 high hurdles, Lucien Cullen in 100-yard dash, Phil Scott in the 440, and Iulius Kinzel in the shot put. Third place winners were Scott, in the 1005 Cullen in the 2205 Morin in the mile run, and David Knaus in the broad jump. Brackenridge qualified nine trackmen for the district meet, and was barely nosed out by Iefferson for team honors, scoring 29 points and Iefferson 31. Brackenridge set three new records, Gray Corbell clearing the bar in the pale vault at ll feet, 3 inches, bettering the record of 10 feet, 7112 inches held by Masters of Floresville. Billy Milner followed by a teammate, Ray Morin, bettered the half-mile mark of 2:08 by winning easily in 2:07.7. The Brackenridge mile-relay team, consisting of Roy Allen, Morris Pundt, Milner and Phil Scott, knocked four-tenths of a second off the record made by the 1934 Edison team. As a result Brackenridge qualified nine men for the regional meet held at San Marcos April 24 and nine in the state meet.

I , TENNIS AND INTRAMURALS il 0,,Q Sweeping over their opponents, the Brackenridge Eagles had a successful year in inter-school tennis this year by taking match after match from the high schools of the surrounding territory in practice games. The members of the 1937 tennis squad were coached by A. E. Lehmberg and consisted of Emil Offer, Iames Flannery, Robert Goldbeck, Raymond Velinder, Robert Dingle, Van Mayhall and Roderick Ott. The squad made four out-of-town trips for practice matches to Austin, Pearsall, Seguin, and Randolph Field. The other matches were played against Alamo Heights and Edison in the city. The only games lost were against Austin, Pearsall, and Randolph Field. The Times tennis tournament in November began with seventeen entries. L. S. Miller, '36 letterman, won this tournament by defeating Cecil Hull in the finals. Miller received a medal donated by the Bell Iewelry Company. ln the city meet, Emil Offer Won the city singles championship defeating Ben Nixon of Iefferson and lack Williams of Tech. The doubles, consisting of lames 'Flannery and Robert Goldbeck won their first round match from Tech, but were beaten by Iefferson in the city finals. ln the district meet, Emil met all his opponents successfully and won the district championship, thereby earning the right to represent Bracken- ridge at the regional meet held at San Marcos April 24. lncluded in the program of intramural sports were basketball, baseball, hand- ball, soft ball, golf, swimming, and track. In intramural basketball, the sixth period class emerged the victor by Winning the applebowl tournament. The handball tournament held early in spring was won by Iohnny Castro in the junior-senior division and I. P. Snodgrass in the sophomore group. Eight players entered the golf intramurals, and Stanley Hoffman beat Henry Breig to win the championship. Fourteen teams entered into the softball contest starting April 7. League baseball was eliminated this year but received much interest in intramural competition. Competition in this sport, as well as softball, was not sufficiently advanced to give any results .possible at this early date. In the intramural track meet, four- teen records were smashed in the 20 events. Lucien Cullen, sophomore, was high point man at this meet, scoring 28 points. R. W. Allen set three new records in the junior-senior division by winning first places in the l00, 220, 330 dashes, and 120- yard low hurdle. ln the four events, Allen set new records in all but the 220-yard dash. Mr. Gatewood Newberry, as in previous years, had charge of the intramural sports this year. Buck Row:-Flannery, Dingle, Offer, Velinder, Coach Lehmberg, Hull, Miller, Barnes, Hummell.

Congratulations, Purple lackets, on your tenth Birthdayl For ten years you have been loyally serving Brackenridge in all its activities. You Purple-lacketed girls have been valuable assistants to both teachers and new students at registration. You have been a source of great pride to us as ushers for the Light Food Show, as a chorus for a P. T. A. program, in the various parades of the year, and many other activities. You outstanding girls are endorsed by the faculty, and are examples of leadership, sportsmanship, and scholarship. Although you are constantly called on for any services that may be rendered for the school, your eagerness to serve and dependability are unswerving. Your exceptional drills at the football games throughout the season received state wide recognition. At the Tivy game when you criss-crossed, Wheeled, and finally circled the gigantic UB you had formed with pom-poms, you thrilled the entire audience. The Thanksgiving Day drill was another beautiful spectacle, especially when you released a hundred pigeons. The airplane formation made with the help of the band was both novel and attractive. Your loyalty to the school teams was evidenced by the splendid attendance and rooting at the games. the four major cogs in our Purple Iacket Machine: Betty, Doris, Fay and Marjorie gCheer Leaders: Hitzfield, Heard, Hose, Younger and Triesch. -Airplane formation at Thanksgiving Game.

Wflftfmllflfl, PGH, MUSGFGVP Your Sing Song for the freshmen, in fall, always a gleeful and gay event, started the social calendar for the year. Following the Sing Song was the annual tea for the EX-Purple lackets and the faculty. This pleasant occasion always brings about the renewal of old friendships and the making of new ones. You honored the football boys with a theater party, and the basketball boys with a picnic One of the high points of the year was your luncheon at the Gunter Hotel which was a fashion show of what the well dressed girl should wear. This year you added to your social calendar a birthday party celebrating your tenth anniversary. This was a double celebration in that it was also your presidents birthday party. ln April, you presented your annual Purple locket Prom honoring a group of highly etticient officers. You can always cherish the memories of the wonderful music and handsome partners of that eve- ning. Your social calendar was closed with a banquet, at which the new officers were installed As you turned to sing Brackenridge for the last time, tears mingled with smiles because you remembered the many good times you've had together, as well as the heated arguments at the meetings in Room 3Ul Faithful Virginia Hensley at the piano, with an admiring audience -Miss Dickey and a Physical lftlucation Class Doesnt look like theyre being scolded, does it?-Betty lean, our Purple lacket Mascot -Fay and Dorothy, basket ball captdns. Pays team Came out as winner. rs B' 'Q Y W X'P x a M GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION X o,,a w The girls' intramural program began with the annual Times tournament with an entry list of thirty girls. This was won by Charline Yeager. Paddle tennis was entered into with much enthusiasm, the tournament held in this sport being won by Geraldine Ballard. Two new outdoor volleyball courts made possible a contest in this game. Sixteen teams were entered by clubs, advisories, and inde- pendent groups. Archery, one of the most popular of the individual sports, drew a large group of enthusiasts in the final competitive event of the year. Because of the growing interest displayed, it was decided to hold these events annually. To stimulate an interest in good posture, a monthly contest was held. S.U.S. was the motto, meaning Stand Up Straight . Many girls became posture conscious and have improved their carriage to a remarkable degree. Pun for all is one of the main objectives in the program of the girl's Physical Education classes, an objective which seems to have been very successfully carried out this year. A visitor from California, as he stood watching a group of ardent archers, on the right, in front of him two games of captain ball, on his left four teams of volleyball, in the distance golfers Hswatting the pill , and behind him the tennis team working, exclaimed, So much activity, and everyone enjoying itl Misses Martha Brooks Dickey, johnny Lou Lyles and Betty Martin have their hands full keeping up with the thousand girls that come out full of energy and enthusiasm, anxious to fill each hour with joyful activity. Good sportsmanship and a keen appreciation of skills are stressed as each girl is taught to be an in- telligent spectator, as well as a skilled performer. Allowed only one inter-school sport, we are proud of our girls' tennis team. Last year Willie Myrtle Young and Alice Wilton, who formed our doubles team, won the city and district titles before losing in the finals of regional competition. Evelynne Schriever, our singles representative, continued on into the finals of state play before being defeated. To equal, or excel, this record is the goal of this year's squad, composed of the following girls: Charline Yeager, May Roberts, Etoile Peters, Bessie Goehman, lane Richards, Geraldine Ballard, Mary Helen Maud, Frances Lawrence, Adeline Powell, Mary Martinez, Bertha Foelsing, Mildred Krawitz, Ardyce Pfannstil, and Helen McCaskill. The only last year's squadman to return to the team this year is Charline, ranked number one, fol- lowed by May and Etoile. Practice matches have been won from Alamo Heights, a tie with Seguin, 5 out of 7 with Austin, and all four with Pearsall. Charline Yeager and May Boberts won in doubles in the city finals and represented Brackenridge at the district meet, also winning the district championship there.

Although this is the second year golf and archery have been offered at Brack- enridge, interest is still predominating enough to rank them first in popularity in individual sports. ln selecting their team sport for the last semester, the majority of seniors turned to volleyball which is consistently popular throughout all classes. Soccer has by no means become dead, as many seniors chose this activity. The only new sport to be added to the program this year was badminton. Many spectators paused to watch the cock being batted through the air and asked to participate, too. Those who played this game thoroughly enjoyed it. The program for the sophomores is varied and extensive. lt provides rhythmic activities, tumbling, volleyball, team games such as baseball, modified soccer and other lead-ups. The floor of the largest gym room was lined off for paddle tennis which seemed to be liked by all. During rainy weather even the juniors and seniors found this a delightful, as well as vigorous activity. Folk dances, clogs, character dances, and social dancing enabled the average Brackenridge girl to develop grace and poise. ln clog dancing, the girls were encouraged to con- tribute original steps. The timid freshman soon becomes self-assured after she masters the art of dancing, while the more advanced student is interested in learning new, complex steps. Because of the close location of Roosevelt Park, many chose to take swimming during their class periods. Tennis and other in- dividual sports were selected by those who did not take swimming. The city's spotlight of sport interest turns to Brackenridge each year for its annual physical education demonstration which is held in the boys' gymnasium every year. Demonstrations of the various activities carried on throughout the year were presented to an appreciative audience. The feature attraction is the tumbling group which thrills the spectators with dives, rolls, flips, and pyramids. The ahs and ohs murmured by the astounded parents are unmistakable signs of enjoyment. The sudden hush that comes over the crowd when the archers stand to shoot at the bull's eye, and then the loud applause when they hit, or missed, revealed a marked interest in archery. To see a whole gym floor covered with uniformed girls, in rhythmic movement to a clog, character, or athletic dance is indeed a spectacle worth seeing. Much applause was given the concluding number on the program when the Purple jackets did an original dance and drill in uniform. Many compliments have been made on the department by people throughout the state, and our aim is to strive for yet higher standards, so that praise will not be given in vain.
