ff. 1054 Wu f-:fix-22?-2 046044 b 1 J.Il1Retama fwf94c faharladwdm ln picturing Brackenridge life for you this year, La Retama uses the aeronautical setting because it is a natural one. We fly, We talk of flying, We Work at flying. The hum of motors in the sky affords a pleasing accompaniment to our day's Work. To the north of us is Randolph Field, the West Point of the Air, a ten million dollar aviation field. To the south of us are Kelly, Normoyle, and Stinson Fields, while some half dozen flying schools surround the city. There is every reason, then, why Brackenridge students often lift their eyes to the clear, blue skies of Texas. Aviation is an industry distinctly American. lt is born of American genius and initiative and pioneered by American courage and resourcefulness. These qualities are a priceless heritage. As we learn to pilot our craft at Brackenridge, let us uphold them with diligence and fervor. Brackenridge High School San Antonio, Texas Editor .....,.... Associdte Editors .....

They found them both like lovers two, Entwined in last embrace Upon the summit of a rnount, Where Death did halt their race. Oh what a pair the two had made As joyful they did sail The blue expanses far above, And knew not how to fail. But soon the gods in heaven great Grew angry there on high At these invaders of their realm, And smote them from the sky. Ere now there rose from smold'ring tomb The spirit of these twog And where but one before had come, A multitude now flew. - Herman Levin TI-IE AIRPLANE Darting, zooming here and there, Droning, soaring high above, Birds by man's own hand devised Roar through blue and cloudless skies.

The Brackenridge Parent-Teacher Association with a membership of 629 can truly be called a Parent-TEACHER Association with a IUOW faculty membership and six teachers serving on the Executive Committee. With such cooperation it has been comparatively easy to plan and execute two delightful reviews for the benefit of the Welfare Fund. In the fall, Mrs. Sherwood Avery gave us Wind, Sand and Stars by Exupery. In the spring, Mrs. Virginia Dicken Flack reviewed Iane Eyre. While welfare has always been the prime object of the association, it has also real- ized the importance of recognizing scholastic, musical and athletic powers. The Brack- enridge P.-T. A. is one of the few associations in the country who annually recognizes these chievements with an Honor Banquet. Prizes are also awarded each year to two senior girls making the most attractive graduation frocks in the sewing classes. Believing that Americanism must emanate from the parents, the year's program was planned along lines pertaining to Americanism in the school, home, church and community. One of the most interesting and instructive programs was a Youth Forum. We may well be proud of the fact that several of our members are serving on the Board E Education, the Board of the State Congress of P.-T. A., and the District and City P.-T. A. ounci . Page 17' llll. ENUS Glll flwwqwl The Master Pilot of an air-line company who transports people, property and mail by air routes to all parts of the world carries some of the same responsibilities as that of school executives. Safety of life and limb is of utmost importance to both of them. Diffi- cult and complicated as the work of both may be, making it possible to l'arrive, educationally speaking, calls for greater skill because spiritual values are involved. More is expected of the school executive. l-le must chart the course so that some- where between the beginning and the end of the journey, the passenger becomes an initiate, and to some degree will be able to pilot his own craft in the future. Modern progressive education presents situations as new as the industry of aviation itself. Alert to these changes and recog- nizing and interpreting them correctly is one of the many matters we place into the capable hands of the executives pictured here. Through supervision, the individual teacher can be reached and be placed in accord with the planned program to fit the needs of the individual student. Mechanical features are also given attention and ade- quate housing and equipment form im- portant and difficult problems. lt is also an arduous task for our principal, vice prin- cipal and dean to take care of the numer- ous problems pertaining to the discipline and guidance of our students. Because of their understanding and tolerance, and their unselfish devotion to duty they exert an influence that is far reaching and effective. Page 18 ' I Mm Mala Mem Dean Page 19 Ma. Rauf R.

Student assistants help in keeping air lines open and free from interference by looking after the daily absen- tees. The home of every boy who is absent is phoned in regard to the cause of his ab- sence. Mr. Kay gives his attention to any delinauencies that may occur, and deals with disciplinary problems in general. The ante-room is rarely Without a Waiting line as Mr. Kay's advice and counsel is in serious need when somebody's plane becomes grounded, or visibility is poor. Often new courses must be mapped out, or contact must be made with the home port in order that danger points may be avoided. ln short, Mr. Kay is the boy's parachute because safety is assured when traveling under his direction. To the registrar, Miss Brinkman, fall the many duties pertaining to the records of the Purple Fleet. Endless details must be taken care of in connection with this phase of Work. Accuracy is necessarily essential When scholastic data is transferred to permanent forms. Long tedious hours of Work are required to do this and to take care of the correspondence that is involved in the transfer of a student from one school to another. Numerous scho- lastic records must also be compiled and tabulated. Seldom do We see Miss Brinkman as pictured above, but more often With pen in hand carefully recording an A, B, or C - and yes, sometimes an F.

The vocal depart ment is organized into one boys' chorus, two girls' choruses, one mixed chorus and a harmony class. Over eighty students are enrolled in the band and titty in the orchestra. Their performance is a source ot pride to Brackenridge. The visual arts form an excellent medium tor self-expression. Bringing the studenti into an understanding ot how art can function in our everyday experiences, is the aim closest to the heart ot the teacher. When this happens, then only have We led the student to a real appreciation ot beauty. The means to this end are varied. Expression takes but another torrn in the Speech Arts Department. Experience in the organization and delivery ot original speeches, self-assurance and good diction are ac- complished aims ot the tive public speaking classes. lnterscholastic events otler splendid opportunities in the Way ot debate, declamation, extempore speaking, and dramatics. Stu- dents in these courses have as their training ground the everyday activities ot the school. They most generously offer their time and talent in furthering causes calling tor public emphasis. Page 22 Unce Zfpan 14 70446 Genuine delight from a tale twice, or thrice told, is a priceless heritage. ln all the English courses, effort is made, therefore, to develop the habit of reading for pleasure and to open new fields of attractive reading. Appreciation of the qualities of good writing, and skill in literary interpretation are steps next in order and conducive to richer living. A wide reading experience helps indirectly to acquire habits of correct speech, but the high school students need to go further. As sophomores, special effort is made to develop the ability to speak in complete sentences and to establish habits of using good English effec- tively in varied language situations. Grammar courses are alternated with literature. luniors and seniors are impressed with the need to continue these efforts and are en- couraged to do creative work. Students are given recognition for original work by being recommended for the English Honor Society. This has become a coveted honor for all ambitious students of English. Iournalism is also another offering of our English Depart- ment. This work centers around the publication of a bi-weekly paper of which the ad- vanced students constitute the editorial staff and class members are the reporters.

With a good foundation, both subjects unfold naturally, but once in a haze, all is lost. Therefore, the wise student attacks his daily problems and assignments with thoroughness. Algebra, geometry, and even trigonometry come within their grasp of understanding, and become practical aids in mathematical calculations. A most practical course in business arithmetic is also offered, giving practice in the mechanics of arith- metic, teaching calculation in mensuration, percentage, and its application to various business forms. ln the foreign language courses, there is a cultural, as well as, a practical aspect. A study of Spanish has immediate practical value in a city like San Antonio where the popu- lation is largely Latin-American. Because it will always be an asset to speak a foreign language, German and Latin are also offered. The first two years, conversation and grammar is stressed, while advanced students devote more time to reading and trans- lation. Departmental clubs give students enrolled in these classes added opportunity to use the languages in a natural social setting. A paper is published quarterly by the Ger- man classes and a news sheet is put out by the Spanish Club.

Goodman Lawrence Lowman Lydia Pagel 742 '7wih Wd! Gd New vistas are constantly opening to students of science, and truths as old as time are revealed to them. Physics with its introduction to the behavior of electricity, heat, and various other forces is no less fascinating than the reactions of acids and alkalines in the study of chemistry. ln biology, a course offered to sophomores andjuniors, the structure, behavior, adaptations and life functions of living things form the basis of study. Botany reveals both the structure and use of flowers. Physiology is a compulsory course for low sophomores and is designed to place a sane emphasis on health problems. Every student is urged to arrange his program so that one period each day can be spent in the library for study. Miss Bennett, trained in library science, has general over- sight over this large group of assembled students. Each period one additional teacher from the English group assists in this supervision. Help is given in directing students to source material, and correct habits of study are encouraged in every way possible. Miss Eraley, the librarian, is assisted by Mrs. Matthews and with approximately l4,0UO volumes on its shelves, the library is prepared to offer every opportunity for enlightenment and advancement.

This is due to the emphasis now placed on Civics, all students being re- guired to take this subject in their junior year. The subject matter has been completely reorganized with the proper emphasis being placed on teaching the child, rather than the subject. Civic responsibility becomes the keynote ot lively discussions, and topics ot immediate interest and need are carefully interpreted. Besides these Civics classes, twenty-tive classes are enrolled in World History, twenty-one in American History, two in Economics, and one in Texas History. PHYSICAL EDUCATION In order to provide tor those recreational teatures that are conducive to our health and general well being, the program ot the Physical Education Department is both varied and extensive. Football, basketball, and track are still the sports which interest the boys most, but intramural sports receive more attention each year trom both boys and girls. These include basketball, handball, tennis, archery, golf, swimming, touch tootball, and baseball. Interest in the training received through the RCTC. is at its peak this year. Cver EEUU boys receive a thorough understanding ot military science and tactics and prep- aration tor citizenship. Mrs. Eulamaye Lord Mrs. Hester Turner George Forehand I. L.

Dots and dashes, and this queer figure and that, take on new meaning and present the key to a new language, There is certainly no dearth of material to be presented by the Com- mercial Department and students are eager to enroll. Steno., typing, bookkeeping and comptometry are the favorite classes, but business English, commercial law and com- mercial geography give additional profitable experiences for those who are interested in attaining business proficiency. The department offers the services of its advanced stu- dents to the faculty for secretarial work. PRACTICAL ARTS There's no place like home for the student who is capable and wise enough to make use of all he learns in the Practical Arts Department. For the girls there are classes in home management, clothing, foods, and millinery. The program for the boys offers thorough and extended courses in woodwork and mechanical and architectural drawing. Since last year a boys' class in homemaking has been included, and this year a program for diversified occupations has been incorporated. Boys in this section take academic work in the morning and work as apprentices to business concerns downtown in the afternoon. Kate Andrews Elsie lonas Ernest Rambo R. V. Rust Milton W.

And While the prop is turning, a thought- goes through my mind I-low much a plane compares to life, l'm sure this fact you'll find At times it goes so smoothly, and then again it dies, But if you can control it, it nearly always flies, And if you Want success, then you must never shirk Because you'll never find success unless you learn to Work. - Gladys Norton THE WINGS OF MEN Silver streaks go zooming by High above in the sunlit sky Diving, spinning, looping things Like the birds, men fly by Wings.

The sponsors of the flight, Mrs. Mitchell and Mrs. Starcke, plotted the course so well that few obstacles were encountered. The meetings were held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of every month. A program was broadcast monthly by the Co-Pilot and Program Chairman, Naomi Nelson. Many talented members of the class took part on these programs, some making their first solo flight. The class got off to a good start with the Valentine Prom held February 9 in the Brackenridge Gym. The couples swayed to the music of Rex Preis and his orchestra. Much credit for the success of the dance can be given to Herbert Muenchow and his com- mittee who were responsible for the decorations. Colored lights and balloons were strung over the dance floor, and the Gym was decorated with red hearts and cupids. With such an amorous setting, it was a wonder that our plane stayed steady on its course. ln spite of many fluttering hearts, we did not go into a tail spin, but set her down safely. The adventure bee ing such a financial success, the class was rewarded in the spring of the year with a picnic. Number Nine seemed to be our lucky flight number, for April 9 was the date set for the picnic which was held at Koehler Park. Through the cooperation of the chairmen of the com- mittees, the picnic proved successful. Acknowledgment should be given here for those who helped. Marion Coulter arranged for the occupancy of the pavillion in the park. Doris Harper, Chairman of the Publicity Committee, spread word of the picnic through the school by the use of posters. Fred Ribe had the important job as Chairman of the Purchasing Committee and Adeline Liebich took charge of serving the refreshments. All food problems were turned over to these two. Ralph Godfrey arranged for the cold drinks, and entertainment was provided for by Naomi Nelson. lt is no wonder that with such an auspicious beginning we did no blind flying but steered our course through sunny skies to a very happy landing. -Dorothy Baetz.

Vl: 'J If Ilffwx if 1' Page 73 UPHIHVIHHI BLISS The Sophomore Class has really been flying high since its initial entrance into the home port. The class started off in high gear by electing Miss Wharton and Miss Colegate as sponsors. The next important undertaking was the election of class officers. These officers, Without any barnstorming or stopovers, set a rigid schedule for the activities of the class. It was discovered that the flying personnel of the class was packed with talent. Some of this talent was displayed in a program. The first business meeting brought the class down to earth when their financial affairs were discussed. After the excitement of mid-term had subsided, a party Was given by the class for the dodoes. This turned out to be the greatest success of the year as far as the Sophomores were concerned. The class had no sooner settled down to a normal pace when they were entertained with a play given by one of Miss Dickey's dramatics classes. Last, but not least, was the annual picnic of the class. It was held in May at Koehler Park. Everything was perfect in the Way of food, fun and foolishness. However, all foolishness aside, this class is serious in its intent to live up to the traditions by which all the classes before it have been bound. The flying personnel have shown their eagerness to cooperate in everything that has come their Way, The class hopes to avoid any zero-zero Weather in its course through Rrackenridge, and a good start has already been made.

Toohey The home port is greatly honored in having among its com- posites a flight of very able personnel, namely the Reserve Gfficers Training Corps. This flight is honored by the Federal Government with an honor ranking red star rating. The ROTC. of Brackenridge is composed of approximately one-fourth of the school enrollment. This section is organized as a regiment of two battalions. The latter are composed of four companies each. Ever since the organization of Braclcenridge High School at its present location, the RCTC. Unit has been awarded the honor rating by the Eighth Corps Area inspectors, who inspect the unit each spring. The corps has achieved its aims in a large measure this year. Briefly, these aims may be summed up as follows. The first objective is to qualify appointees for Reserve Officers, and the second is to prepare the students for citizenship through precision, discipline, good physique, patriotism, and instituted authority. We now turn the controls over to our co-pilots and we hope they will be able to continue to steer the flight as success- fully as it has been done in the past. -George Williams Page 102 HATTALIH STAFFS j First Battalion Staff Lt.

Attention to orders, commands the Regimental Adjutant, as he prepares to publish the orders at the weekly review, or parade, held by the Brackenridge High School R.O.T.C. Regi- ment. The award for the best company during the preceding week is the honor banner and a purple ribbon, a white ribbon tor second place, and a yellow ribbon for the worst company. The weekly regimental medal winners are also awarded their medals during this colorful ceremony. The regiment participates in many civic parades, such as on Armistice Day, Battle of Flowers, Army Day, and the annual National Defense Week Review held at Ft. Sam Houston. For display and exhibition purposes, where available room makes impossible the participation of this whole regiment, the Purple Guards represent the unit. This group is composed of the best drilled cadets in the Regiment, and is corn- manded by Colonel Voight. Portions of the group have partici- pated in assemblies at other schools and have given demonstra- tions at Ft. Sam Houston, at the annual P.-T. A. Cadet Night, at the annual Military Ball, and in the Pilgrimage to the Alamo during Fiesta Week. -George Williams Mrs. jewel Rowe Page 103 o 0. UHNIPANYA EIHVIPA Yll Captain ..........

Several social functions are held and the club has had various talks upon military subjects prac- tically every weelc. Meetings are held on Fridays and Wednesdays. At the Wednes- day meeting, problems, or subjects of interest, are brought up for attention and dis- cussion. -George Williams Page 110 Pll SUHSAEL ll Top Row. lett to right:-Anderson, Boerner, Bohnet, Bryant, Butler, Byrne, Carney, Carroll, Cleverly.

Thus the meeting of the Non Commissioned Officers' Club comes to order. Meetings are called Friday mornings from 7:30 to 8 o'clock. The amount of dues are voted on by the members, this year they were fifty cents. As in other clubs, the officers are elected by the members. The president and vice president must hold the rank of master sergeant and the secretary and the treasurer are selected from the first, or staff sergeants. The pur- pose of our club has been to prepare our members for higher commissions, to provide discussion of military problems pertaining to the Non Coms and to provide a social outlet for the members. As social features this year, We have had maneuvers, a dance, and a roller-skating party. The Non Com Club was first organized in 1933 and has been under the supervision of the Commandant of the R.O.T.C. Captain I. L. Toohey sponsored the organization for the fall term, and Master Sergeant l. E. Cassidy for the spring term. The Club is both voluntary and honorary. The Flying Personnel of the l94U Non Commis- sioned Officers' Club is proud to be a part of the Great Purple Fleet of l94U. -Lawrence Uhl. Page 112 President ...... .... ..........

A number of years ago, the Brackenridge High School Rifle Club, affiliated with the National Rifle Association, was organized. The object of the Rifle Club is to develop those qualities of sportsmanship, fair play, manliness, self-control, and cooperation which are so essential to a successful life, and to develop the qualities of rifle marksmanship in cadets desiring such an opportunity. The number of brilliant medals flourishing about the school is rapidly increasing as an energetic membership steadily betters its marksman- ship by passing the stiff requirements ranging from Pro-Marksman to the coveted medal for Expert Rifleman. Even that, however, does not constitute a ceiling. Members can still fire for Distinguished Rifleman, and American Rifleman awards. Within the regiment, the program of .22 caliber rifle shooting activities as developed by the National Rifle Association has proved invaluable in helping to instill progressive habits in participants. We strictly abide by the lunior Marksman's Code, which stresses proper and safe care of the rifle and conservation of wild life. -Reed Dillon.

ICARUS TO THE SUN - A tale of the first aviators -1 Foreword: Daedalus, a famous Greek architect, was commissioned by the King of Crete, King Minos, to construct a labyrinth in which the Minotaur, a man eating monster, was to be imprisoned. However, Daedalus constructed so intricate a labyrinth that when he and his son, Icarus, entered it they could find no way to return by ordinary means, and so Deep in the labyrinth of King Minos, Master craftsman of the ancients, Daedalus solved that mystery, The flight of mang like to the eagle On wings of tallow and of feather Fashioned as that of the bird, Daedalus and his son Icarus Fled the labyrinth, fled their prison, Fled the depths out o'er the sea ..., Exultant with the power of flight l-leedless of all danger, striving Upward, upward, higher, higher Winged lcarus to the sun .... But soon his wings became as liquid, And he faltered falling seawardg Downward, downward, faster, faster Plunged Icarus to his death, Eternity in Neptune's Kingdom .... Today our fathers build again Not wings of tallow and of feather But of substance stronger, mighty, So that from our deepest labyrinth Easily we wing our way Up to the citadel of learning ..., -Kalman Wolff Treiman Page 116 Coaches: Barlow lrvin, George Forehancl, Gatewood Newberry ATHLETICS Our high school curriculum in the Physical Education Department provides for a varied and extensive recreational program directed toward features that are conducive to the health and general well being of the students enrolled in its courses. The depart- ment strives to develop leadership, sportsmanship, personal and group responsibility, varied recreational interest, and the wise use of leisure time. Brackenridge being a mem- ber ofthe Texas University lnterscholastic League, our boys enter teams in the three major sports of football, basketball, and track. Mr. Claude Kellam with headquarters at the Board of Education, coordinates the work of the four city high schools and has general oversight and authority in administering the program of this department. In our own school, Mr. Forehand and Mr. lrvin coach the football, basketball and track teams. Mr. Newberry directs the intramural activities and Mr. Lingle coaches the tennis teams. The intramural activities receive greater emphasis each year, and this year approximately 800 entries comprised the intramural list. llllllllll FOOTBALL: lennings Anderson, Charles Blackwood, loe Bravo, Elmer Bondy, David Carson, Homer Chambers, lohn Cullen, Donald Diehl, Glenn Dyal, Henry Gonzales, Hollis Hester, Winston Hill, Bobbie Hooper, Myron Hubble, Weldon Humble, Kenneth lackson, lohn Maner, Bob Markette, Billy McGee, lames Moore, Robert Scalise, Thomas E Scott, lack Snipes.

A disastrous climax checked the Eagles in with a mediocre football season for l939. They started as favorites in District l5 AA, and ended up in fourth place with an even .500 percentage. The first three games resulted in wins for the Eagles, starting with a l3-U victory over leff Davis, and then downing Harlandale l8-U, before upsetting powerful Amarillo 6-U. Then hitting the trail out of town, B.H.S. suffered its first defeat, in San Angelo, by a 13-O score. Returning to San Antonio, the Birds conquered the Tivy Antlers of Kerrville l9-U, to keep their district record intact, but another trip, this time to Dallas Tech, netted another setback, l5-l2, and the loss of lack Snipes, who was hurt.

The Birds went through their pre-season warm-ups without a loss, even taking a trip to the Valley during the Christmas 1-1olidays,where they downed Harlingen in two games. Cpening the city play against San Antonio Tech, the Eagles took their first of three victories over the Buffs 25-17, and Burbank's Bulldogs were the next victims 28-ll. The lefferson Mustangs also went down before the Eagle attack 28-19, but Lanier, who en- tered the race as co-favorites with our boys, handed the Eagles their first licking 80-22. The second round netted three more wins for the Birds, 28-18 over Tech, 28-28 over Burbank, and 28-22 over Lanier. lefferson gave the boys their second setback with a surprise 22-18 score, and the final round came up with a tight race between the North-siders and B.1-LS. Brackenridge, however, came through with flying colors, taking all four games, topping Tech 84-17, Burbank 89-19, leff 2U-18, and Lanier 88-29. The district tournament was on top next and our Eagles defeated Eredericksburg 42-18 for the title after taking a hard-fought semi-final from Kerrville 28-26. ln the regional fight, B.1-LS. beat Shiner 28-18 in the semi- final, but went down before San Marcos 18-22. loe Bob Markette, Eagle forward, ended up as top scorer in the city, and 1-ligginbotham finished third in the point-getting. -Leroy Mattingly.

Lucien Cullen ran third in the century and in the 220. Hopper placed fourth in the high jump, and the same mile-relay team finished a step behind Brady. Cullen ran the great Douglas Calley of Brady the hardest race of his life, and the Eagles' time was 3:25.9, only four-tenths of a second off the state record. The l940 season opened with more success for the Birds. ln the Border Olympics at Laredo, we tied for the championship with Karnes City. This was the third straight year the Eagles had won the meet, and the team trophy became ours permanently. The mile- relay team of Anderson, Balderas, Humble, and Mattingly raced to victory for the third straight year, also bringing that trophy to B.l-LS. for keeps. Brite placed second in the hurdles, Humble third in the shot-put, Mattingly third in the 440, Anderson fourth in the l00, and the sprint relay, fourth. The City Title for l940 went to the Eagles, as they picked up 77 2X5 points to 47 2X5 for jeff in second place. Seven firsts, and a tie for first, went to the Birds. Mattingly won the 100, 220, and 440, Bine won the 880, Brotherton the mile, Brite the high hurdles, and the mile-relay team won first again. Hyman and Germer tied with three jeff boys for the high jump, and the Eagles just ran away with the meet in general. -Leroy Mattingly. Page 123 l Aside from the regular physical education program of Brackenridge High, extra-curricular activities are offered in the nature of an exten- sive intramural program. During the course of the year, intramural com- petition in ten sports takes place, be- ginning with basketball in Septem- ber, and running through a schedule of touch football, handball singles and doubles, track and field, volley- 9 A f ball, golf, tennis, softball, and swim- ming. Approximately 800 entries comprised the l939-40 intramural list, with 240 boys, on l9 teams, going out for softball alone. In basketball, football, and softball, two leagues are formed within the school. The champions in the two leagues play for the school championship, and awards are given the winners. ln- dividual awards are given to winners in other sports, about l00 emblems being presented each year. The Hi-Y Club won its third straight championship in basketball. ln football, the Fourth Period Physical Education Class beat the Staff team of the ROTC. League l8-7 for championship. Last May, a team from B.H.S. lost to an all-star group from lefferson for the city softball title, and in November, a Brackenridge all-star basketball team was defeated, by Iefferson Q again, for the intramural title.

The boys on the tennis squad have high hopes for the city tournament. lt will be between Captain Kilpack and lack Nipper in the singles, and Tony Martinez and Don Goldbeck in doubles. Don was the city champion last year and with Tony has a good chance of taking the doubles title. They fought their way to the semi- finals in the Tournament of Roses, March l and 2, at Victoria. Being somewhat discouraged at Corpus Christi in a practice match, they are now back on their toes and ready to go again. Iefferson was also de- feated by Corpus and so here's hop- ing Brackenridge will attain the city championship. The girls have strong hopes of going to state this year and their coach, Mr. Lingle, says that with a little more practice no one can stop them! The girls have played practice matches with Harlandale, Seguin, Alamo Heights, and Corpus Christi. The results have been in favor of the doubles team, with the loss of only one match to Corpus Christi. ln singles, Brackenridge tied with one school and lost close matches with the others. ln the tournament at Stockdale the singles lost to Cuero and the doubles had to default while playing in the semi-finals. This was disheartening, but the girls are now ready to meet leff full swing at the city meet on April Znd. With Roosevelt Park so near to Brackenridge, our boys have a fine chance to indulge in swimming. Last spring, our Eagle Team won 4th place, in the Texas State High School Swimming Meet held at Texas A. CS M College May l4th. ln winning 4th place in this meet, the team was composed of Weldon Humble, lohnny Perrera, Rell Scott, Franklin Swann, and Wilbert Richarz. These boys won 3rd place in the Sprint and Medlay Relays, and Wilbert Richarz won 3rd place in diving. For the first time in the history of Brackenridge since swimming became an Inter- scholastic Sport, Brackenridge decisively beat their arch rivals, Thomas lefferson High School, 5l-25. After losing the meet the previous year, l938, by 2 points, when a disqualify- ing rule eliminated the winning Medlay Relay Team, the Eagles retaliated Sl-25, making lpossible a complete shut-out of lefferson in all sports with the exception of tennis.

The girls in the Physical Edu- cation classes enjoy a variety of activities. Three full-time teachers give their time to this work. The extensive program of sports in- cludes such individual sports as tennis, golf and archery, with swimming during April and May. The more highly organized team games in which they engage are volley ball and baseball. An effort has been made, particularly in the more advanced classes, to allow the girls to choose those activities in which they are most interested. lt is believed that they may thus acquire skill and interest in activi- ties that will be a wholesome means of using their leisure time even after their school days are over. During the winter months when the weather does not permit extensive outdoor activity, the girls enjoy such indoor activities as tumbling, paddle tennis, Captain ball, and various rhythmical activi- ities such as folk dancing and simple clog and character dances. An occasional rainy day which forces them to stay indoors offers them the opportunity of acquiring grace and poise in social dancing. The interest in this activity has been greatly increased during the past year with the installing of a nickelodeon by the Purple lackets. Three new classes have been added to the girls' physical education program during the past year. One of these, the Entertainers' Class, taught by Mrs. Turner, has cooperated Page 126 EALEUUEATIU Tumbling is more fascinating than most activities because Loraine Styles has good form, and the it requires a bit ol daring and nerve. Our girls have it. other requisites for good marksmanship. With many different organizations in the school by providing numbers for assemblies and other school programs. A class in Physical Education lV, the enrollment in which is en- tirely optional, was organized for the spring term. This class was taught by Mrs. Lord, and the girls were permitted to choose the activities in which they Were most interested. A class in Special Physical Education was taught by Miss Rector. This class was organized for girls having some physical handicap which prevented them from participating in regular physical education classes. Their activities are necessarily of a less vigorous nature and include croquet, badminton, shuffle board, bowling, and throwing darts. All of these classes were designed to meet the increased individual needs of the girls in Brack- enridge, from the standpoint of health and recreation. All Freshman girls enroll in physiology classes the first term and begin Physical Edu- cation proper the second term. ln the physiology classes, health problems are emphasized, dealing With personal hygiene as Well as public health. Girls belonging to the Purple lackets, or the sponsor organization, drill the first period every morning and the members of the Drum and Bugle Corpsthe last period. These are exempt from the regular Work of the Physical Education Department. lt is one of the chief aims of the Physical Education Department to encourage sportsmanship at all times Whether it be during the splash in the pool at Roosevelt Park, or during a highly competitive team game on the campus. Mass activity Wherein cooperation and sportsmanship are stressed affords helpful training. lt is believed that these qualities of sportsmanship will have a vital influence on the stu- dents' ability to live happily in the future.

At the Thanksgiving Game, the Pl. drill was a clever portrayal of a gun drill. Unique drills were put on at other games. The schedule was headed by a Sing Song honoring the freshmen girls, followed by a Bound-Up of the past and present members. The football boys were honored with a Theater Party, then came the lanuary luncheon at the St. Anthony, skating parties, or picnic honoring the basketball boys, a dance in April and the farewell banquet. There were no bail-outs, and after a successful flight we made a happy landing. Cruising with the P.l.'s. has been jolly good fun.

Are you pilot seeking truth and learning too?

The pilot decided he wanted to become better acquainted with this group of popular and pretty girls. Approaching by ins-ti ct the leader of this group, who was none other than Annette Iones, he began guestioni Ig: Why do you call yourselves the Modern Dianas? Who is your sponsor? What othefi orts do you take part in? What is your big- gest social ot the year? Whereupon Anivlette began answering his questions as tollows: Our club is named after Diana, the goddess ot the moon and chase. As you know, she dis- liked men. For this reason we call o rselves Modern Dianas. Miss Concha Chapa is our sponsor and toundadgthe club in ' 3. Under her guidance we strive to develop good ' ,sportsmanship and skill in out- fl, dgpr sports. In the late spring ghd early tall a solernn initia- ftion cerernony tor new rnern- Pbers is held.

Asunrise breakfast at Koehler Park was just the thing to add zest to our social program and we can't ever forget the peculiar pleasure we derived from meeting together in the hush and quiet of a cold snappy morning for a breakfast out in the woods. In lanuary, the new year was ushered in by giving a tea for the mothers of our club members. It was indeed a lovely affair. In February, ice skating was in vogue and nothing daunted the Dianas in taking advantage of this thrilling sport. Sore muscles and tired bodies was the price we paid willingly for the fun and everyone was eager to have another skating party. March put us all in a frame of mind for a picnic, so a wienie roast at Roosevelt Park ushered in spring in proper style. April was spent in plan- ning and preparing for the an- nual dance to be given in May. It was the only invitation dance to be given and was a fitting climax to a busy and happy year. -Sarah Kleban.

Contactll Hurry and hop in my plane so that we can get a bird's-eye view of our home port and the Wa Kapa Club. While we are taxiing along the ground, let me tell you something about this organization. This girls' club was organized in l92U and is a social club having many successes and few washouts. The hours of flying begin at 3:30 every Wednesday afternoon from Hangar Number 310 under the direction of Miss Allen and Miss Meadows, our sponsors. While grounded, we take time for the election of new members. All new girls are selected from the best of the flying personnel, for their scholarship, leadership, and attractiveness. The election is followed by a formal initiation of these girls at the home of one of the members. After a three-point landing, we mingle with the Wa Kapas as they entertain with a Mothers' Tea at the home of Mrs. Wm. Avey, a friend of the members. After taking off from this de- lightful afternoon we now go back to Brackenridge in order to help decorate the Christ- mas tree in the center hall. lt l gives a festive air to the whole t school and the Wa Kapas take l great pride in this Christmas project. Erected in the center of the main hall, our tree in its dazzling beauty bespeaks of the friendship and good will of every member of the Wa Kapa Club.

We bail out downtown at the Milam Cafeteria in order to join our com- panions at a luncheon. After enjoying another club success, we again soar to the heights. We next direct our plane to take us to the biggest event of the year-the Backward Dance. The three hours spent at this dance were indeed happy ones for all present and will always linger in our memories. The Boyless Prom where the girls enjoy dancing with some of the girls dressed as boys was the next event of any importance. This Was a very en- joyable get-together for the girls and provided well for a gay evening. Good times come to an end and as the year closes, the Wa Kapas see a happy year in retrospect. Our last and happiest undertaking is the Farewell Banquet given to honor the seniors, our com- panions who will soon make solo flights. This event climaxes a happy year for the Wa Kapas. Flying with the Wa Kapa members has been a source of both pleasure and profit. The value of true friendship has been realized by all of us and the l94U cruise has been a happy one. Work interspersed with play encouraged loyalty and in all our activities high ideals formed the standards we sought to follow. We sought to steer our ship wisely and well. -Ruth Ezzell.

Contactl The Gold Bug Short Story Club once again soars to the top in the way ot entertainment and activity. Our licensed pilot, Miss Alyce Wimberly, is the sponsor ol the club, and her counsel keeps it from being a complete washout. The aim of the club is to teach its members the correct usage of English, promote good fellowship, en- courage literary talent, and further the ideals of good sportsmanship and loyalty. The lirst activity noted in our l94U log was the installation of new members. This ritual is symbolic ol the club's name. Captain Kidd presided, and after a long search tor pirate gold on Sullivan's Island, the treasure chest was found. Goldl No, instead of real gold, the new members tound that wieners and buns were the treasure. The traditional wiener roast is held every year and liberal smears of ashes, mustard, pickles, and burnt wieners provided a feast for a troop ot Iamished girls. After this merrymaking, the club taxied . along smoothly until a theater party was held in November. Excited whispers, rattling of candy paper, and laughter made us almost land in a spin but quiet was soon resumed for the remainder of the trip and we landed safely.

Members of the club presented songs, dances, or stunts. During December, St. Nicholas Visited the Gold Bugs. A colorful Christmas party Was held, and St. Nick distributed gifts for every loyal Gold Bug. Our Flight Chiefs, Mr. Gary, Miss Moore, and Mr. Kay were guest speakers at several meetings, and their interesting and amusing talks kept the girls in gales of laughter. Valentine Day Was celebrated with an old-fashioned Valentine box and party. In March, a cake sale was held to raise money to pay for our medal awards. In April, members prepared for the oral and Written story contests. An all-girl picnic was also held and horseback riding and bi- cycling Were the diversions.

Rules have been made, and when these rules are broken by a member, he is given a demerit by the sergeant-at-arms. The sergeants-at-arms are not exempt from demerits but may receive them from a higher officer. li a member has too many demerits, he must appear on a program, or pay a twenty-tive cents fine. lt certain rules are broken, the member is liable to trial in a Kangaroo Court. Conviction in the Kangaroo Court removes a member from the Student Council. Something different, indeed, from the usual course was a Backward Dance given on March first -Dance La Vice Versa, they called it be- cause this is Leap Year. The girls asked the boys to the dance, and during the grand march, the boys were given balloons and whistles as fa- avr vors.

Indeed, he is fortunate in belonging to it. During the past year we have tried to live up to the Hi-Y theme -l'To create, maintain, and extend throughout our school and community a high stan- dard of Christian living -as have our predecessors since the club's founding in 1913. These words are emphasized in the Hi-Y initiation ceremony which is very impressive. The Hi-Y strives to maintain high ideals through physical, spiritual, and mental develop- ment. Gur club though a unit within Brackenridge I-Iigh School, meets and uses the varied facilities in the way of recreation, etc. in the downtown Y.M.C.A. building. This is an added inducement because it gives us not only an attractive program but the means to carry it out successfully. Activities during the year were numerous. A dance for both old and new members was the first social event of the school year. This was followed by our annual Beat Ieff Sports Prom. This was given at the close of the football season and was at- tended by a large representa- tion of the whole school. As a pre-holiday event it was highly successful.

Our plane dropped to earth. We all hopped out, donned ice skates and had a merry time. Once again on our way, we cruised the airways, stopping in Ianuary for a Theater Party. In March, due to a broken tradition, we found ourselves landing in the midst of a group of boys at the annual Boyless Prom. Perhaps Leap Year influenced the Laniers' decision to mend the tradition in this fashion. Dancing and games provided entertainment for the Laniers and their dates. Spring brought with it our seventh stop, the annual ban- quet in April. This was a gay informal affair, which every Lanier will always remember. That our flight was drawing to a close was signified by the last stop in May at the Farewell Tea, where sad good-byes mingled with happy laughter. This was also the occasion for the installation of the new offi- cers, and marked the end of the Lanier Flight for l94U.

Then mid-term elections come and go, and with clear visibility for another successful term, our plane glides into the air once more. Finally comes the biggest event of all the club's activities. A typical Spanish Fiesta entitled HUna Noche Espanola is presented in the huge hangar Cthe auditoriuml, at which time the caballeros and sen- oritas present a hilarious Spanish comedy.

The first thing we visit is the installation banquet at which the newly elected officers are installed. The outgoing president is in charge of the installation which is carried out as a Greek ceremony. At the Weekly meetings We find the girls led in a discussion by the president. They plan services to the school, one of which is the project of making poppies for the faculty on Armistice Day. Social features for the members are of avaried nature. Parties, picnics, and skating parties provide much fun. As We zoom down upon the club again We find the girls entertaining their mothers with their annual Cerelia, and our next stop-over is the Rose Day Tea held in honor of the faculty. Roses and other flowers make a lovely background for the girls dressed in long afternoon t.1.r13t ,, dresses. After an interesting program each teacher is pre- sented With a rose as a ,token of love and friendship from the Clio Club.

Taking to the air, We have a bird's-eye view of the home port slowly vanishing from sight. On our long flight through the fog, our visibility zero-zero, We soon deviate from our course. We land the plane to take time out for a picnic. After We take off with the Words uHappy Landing ringing in our ears, many hours of flying pass before We come to the city in which We plan to have our Theater Party. Before We arrive We go into a tail spin and have to bail out. The plane having been fixed, We journey forth to many more good times, such as our then made for the banquet to be held honoring the graduat- ing students.

The San Antonio Chapter experienced an exciting Week when the Pan-American Round Table entertained delegates from the Ran-American countries. A good-will tour through the United States was the object of this visit. Attending banquets, conferences, and listening to talks kept the members busy. Although it was a strenuous experience, the club was sorry When the conference came to a close. Being a city club, several of our social functions have been in unison with the Tech and Iefferson units. The Christmas Dance, an affair not easily forgotten, was one of these joint affairs. The Pan-American Club engaged in educational work this year. The club is Working to gain recognition in a scrapbook con- test sponsored by the Chapters in Texas. It has been the privilege of the club to hear talks by authorities on Pan-Ameri- can subjects. One of the practices most enjoyed is open discussion on current gues- tions concerning l3an-Ameri- canism.

As our plane soars into the clouds, the highlights of the Latin Club's social activities pass before us. In September, the prospective members were welcomed by a picnic in the park. Our candy sale, which enabled us to pay for our page in the annual, was held in October. At Christmas an old Roman festival, the Satur- nalia, was celebrated by a banquet. On George Washington's birthday our sponsor was surprised by a birthday party, carried out in a color scheme of red, white, and blue. A huge birthday cake, and a beautiful gift made it a gala occasion. Many barrel rolls were taken at our skating party in March. Two home parties were also given, the last one by our president. In May, the mothers were honored by a tea and as a farewell, the club treated the departing seniors to a bicycling party and a picnic in Brackenridge Park. In the years to come many happy hours of flying with the Latin Club members will be ree called. Our pilots have steered close to the course outlined by the sponsor of the cruise and together we have traveled far. -Iune Ahrentzen. 1 . Fall Term REGINA KORUS ........, MARIE FARRIS ,.,...

The purpose of the club is to develop an appreciation for flowers not only in the individual members but within the student body. Each year the members plant gladiola bulbs on the school campus. They also sell bulbs, and the flowers when they are blooming. Once a month the club has a social. A program is presented, and refreshments are served. Naturally, everybody has a good time. The most important activity of the entire year was our flower show given in spring. Students, teachers, and outsiders all 'fbailed out with their various entries and participated in this annual affair. This year the club took the responsibility of planting the star flower bed at the home port. This task was thoroughly enjoyed by the members, in fact, it was more like play than arrangement of the bed. lack Frost, who visited us in Ian- uary, proved to be a skilled artist when he froze the water fountain in the fish pond, and he caused many spectators to forget that the flower bed was there. However, the plants survived and many lovely blossoms graced our campus. -Virginia Gulley. work. Our loyal sponsor, Mrs. Ramsey, helped us plan the Fall Term RUTH covEH.f... .... Qf.-...:...PfeS.

Among these was the Science Club Weigh and Sway Prom, introducing a new style of student dance admission, in which one cent was charged for every three pounds. At least such was the tee charged for dates, while unlucky stags and scale-wary girls satisfied the till with a straight fee ot titty cents. There was a prize for the two lightest dates, and the music was furnished by a nickelodeon, which contained all the present day popular tunes. In tall, there was the Science Club picnic at Koehler Park, which proved lively and interesting. Ereguent experiments and demonstrations were given by Mr. Goodman and Miss Davis. Taxiing slowly at the first ofthe year, the Science Club zoomed to new ceilings with the introduction of a new club policy among the members. A Enthusiasm rose, membership ' ' r so increased, and happy times began.

September meant contact for the German Club of Brackenridge under the watchful eyes of Miss Leilet Richter, our loyal sponsor. The course was plotted to include our annual picnics and parties and this year's theme of romantic Germany. We had a perfect take-off with a picnic. lust before the Christmas holidays, the flight instructors on the Brackenridge faculty were presented with tokens of remembrance in the form of German Christmas cookies tied up in red tissue paper. To honor the mothers of the club members, a program was rendered in the Harmony I-Iut on Saint Valentines Day. Many a headache and worried look resulted from the preparations, but it was worth it, for the afternoon was enjoyably spent listening to songs of a girls' trio and two short plays. Members and friends listened enraptured to an interesting talk given by Prof. Ernest Rabe, eminent San Antonio artist, when he spoke on the art of Germany and displayed some of his own works. Climaxing a most successful year was the banquet and theater party for the graduating seniors of the club with humorous prophecies for I each.

With Misses Frey and Hale as pilots, the cruise was always made in safety. The Council Suppers were among the beacon events of the year. In February, the Brackenridge unit served as hostess and the Girl Reserves from other schools were our guests. Cther events of special interest to us were the Recognition Service in December, the hikes, parties, picnics, and teas. In order to secure funds, a doughnut sale was held, and also a coat-hanger sale. The tasty doughnuts found ready buyers and a nice sum Was realized. A new feature of our program was the get-togethers We had at the Y.M.C.A. with the boys of the Hi-Y Club on Thursday nights. ln spring, the Y.W.C.A. opened its gymnasium and pool to high school students on Saturday nights and many tools advantage of the offer.

Guided by Pilots Peavy and Rambo, the Diversified Gccupations' crate took off in September. After experiencing several loops and tail spins, the new crate leveled off for a non-stop flight with about twenty-five passengers who had passports for the land of success in the fields of industry on board. A few have bailed out while others have been taken on at the refueling station. The highest ceiling was reached at the Diversified Gccupations Banquet, where all of the passengers invited their employers to join them for an evening. The employers got ac- quainted with each other and with the boys. They decided to continue the flight and pre- vent a washout. Some of the guests who made contributions of fuel to the crate were: Mrs. E. I. Winter, Mrs. W. A. W Pugh, Mr. Thomas B. Port- wood, Mr. Enos Gary, and Mr. V. W. Marburger.

As you may have heard, it is the tradition of this far-away isle to send repre- sentatives to every part of the world to teach its ever important message. We find such representatives in our own home port in the Charme Club. This club of gracious and charming girls was organized a few years ago by Miss Viola Moore and Mrs. Dahl. To- day our sponsors are Mrs. Dahl and Miss Andrews. Charm should be present at all times, but because it is more on parade at social gatherings, the Charme girls sponsor many social features. These are held at Halloween, Christmas and Easter, and the annual senior banquet is the last event on the social calendar. There are also many Hin be- tween good times. Selfishness is most certainly not a trait of charm, and for this reason the Charme Club has edited and published I-Iow To Rate, a handy little book which re- veals to the public the ways of charm which the girls have learned. Natural charm has been the watchword of every member on the cruise. -lean Ann Schrader. Fall Term CELIA GALBREATH ,... FRANCES GRANT ..... HELEN CLEVERLY ..... MARY BETH BILES ...... ..,..Pres.

They seek to guide their plane so as to spread happiness and cheer even in zero-zero Weather. Always there with a smile is Miss Abbie King, their instructor. The girls have been busy studying charm and personality so that they may make a better take-off in the skies of success. Material was gathered and after much research several girls gave interesting talks on charm, personality, and good man- ners. The Scouts also try to do something to help others, such as providing baskets of food at Thanksgiving for poor families. The program also calls for many recreational features and the hikes, picnics and parties were the source of much pleasure. The most important feature of the year Was the cooking lessons given by the Public Service Com- pany. A dinner cooked Without adult assistance was lots of fun for the girls. There was fun and enjoyment for everyone during those six Weeks of instruction. The many electric conveniences made the Work R seem like play. A dinner Wasl given by the girls at the end of the six Weeks. This year's cruise has been delightful, and the girls have not forgot- ten their motto: Be Prepared. -Margaret Basham.

As an example of this speed, on the third meeting, the old members gave a picnic to the new ones. This was held after school at Roosevelt Park. We had all kinds of sandwiches and pink lemonade. Business meetings and interesting programs followed and a cake sale was held in December. This was a success and our champion cake salesmen were the Sexhauer twins. Our next bit of serious barnstorming came in the form of a Christmas party. This was held in Hangar 226, our regular meeting place. We exchanged gifts at the Christmas tree which was furnished by Miss Morgan who also played Santa by giving us a party. The Valentine party came next, and this time it was a game party. lt ended in a blaze of marbles flying all over the room and prizes were given to the best Chinese Checker players.

These plans cracked up because of a reorganization, but the club was safely piloted out of the zero visibility to a ceiling unlimited. Mr. Lingle, our efficient coach, has exerted a telling influence over the club. The weekly B.D.S. meeting has been trans- formed from the near-riot it used to be to a dignified discussion on questions pertinent to present-day affairs. The B.D.S. now features a debate at every meeting. A quiet initiation was held in fall and a varied program of social events has followed. Our social events in-I cluded a most successful dance at which the best dancers of the school were selected. Two initiation socials were presented gratis for the initiates, the club members, and their friends. We will always re- member our socials in the girls' gym. A picnic was the grand climax to a series of en- tertainments. The ground school has given valuable training and now the B.D,S. has risen to top altitudes. -limmie Campbell. WILLIAM SLAUGHTER..

Some mem- bers acquire great speed in typewriting, and some excel in shorthand, therefore they fly higher than others. Members and candidates for membership in the Society must have as many as three A's and must have taken at least two different commercial subjects- and must have acquired at least four credits in the commercial field. As new to Bracken- ridge as the 'Flying Fortress is to aviation, the Commercial Honor Society was organized in the spring of l939. A banquet was held at that time for the members and sponsors. Officers were elected at the banquet and the typing trophy for speed and accuracy was presented to the student who made the best scores in a typing tournament held in April. All contestants who make a speed of over fifty words a minute with few errors are awarded certificates of pro- ficiency. The Commercial Honor Society at present is 'lflying high. -Charlotte Enderle.

Yf'!f I f , I I I Ll Hlll ll Hello-l-lello-this is La Retama of the Great Purple Eleet. We have completed our course and are ready to report on certain occurrences dur- ing the flight. Of foremost impor- tance, says Pilot Pat, was the efficient work of the staff, and the cooperation given by both students and faculty. All together, we weathered every storm. ln late fall, a boost was given by the news that La Retama had again received the All American rating by the National Scholastic Press Asso- ciation. The picture campaign was most successfully boosted by the ever-ready Department of Speech and the Student Council. The cam- paign was made attractive by the friendly rivalry between advisories. Winners were Christine Lawrence, Zoeller, Cecille Lawrence, Stratton, and lary. Each advisory received a vase and the representatives a dol- lar. On the eve of Thanksgiving, an- nual salesmen were given a ban- quet in celebration of the close of the sales campaign and to honor the winners. Soaring high above the rest in an impressive triangle were the star salesmen Roy Thoma, lohn Winter, and Margaret Kincaid. Each received the acclaim of the group and a silver trophy. A greatly en- larged feature section and the spec- tacular air views of Brackenridge highlight the annual. Climaxing the thrills of the annual staff itself is the memory of a sunny afternoon spent at Stinson Eield where pictures were taken for the annual. Robert Billa, Bl-l.S.'s only licensed pilot, proved his friendship by adding pictures of Eagle Eield to our collection. Piloting our crate through the year has been a breath-taking experience, but if La Retama, our flying log, pleases the reader, our trying experiences will soon be forgotten and we will be ready for another take-off. -Naomi Nelson.

Zora Melton With Miss Lena Mae Elliott at the controls assisted by her co-pilots, lohnson and Iaco, The Times' crate soared into the air. We telt unduly ambitious since the new crate was eguipped with Venetian blinds, a tile floor, tour desks, and four typewriters. Under Pilot Elliott's skillful guidance, we immediately began stunt flying by putting out an issue with- Page 170 llllll kg it 3 as . .fa 1- .- out column rules and in tabloid size. We were doing a great deal of blind flying due to the zero-zero condition of our advertising. When we became discouraged and were about to take to a parachute, Sanguine Sarah came to our rescue. We were also cheered by the two society editors, Charlotte and Betty, whose social chatter was indispensable to our crew. Frances, the chief time-waster, heckler, and copy reader, saved us from many a libel suit, and Leroy, sports editor and humorist, lent prestige and inspired us with his witticisms. ln December, we received the lnternational Honor Bating and felt so pleased that we gave ourselves a Christmas party with a Christmas tree and all the trimmings. Here for a last get-together, the staff of the fall term shed a few tears, and graciously stepped aside for the new staff. Scoop -, which introduced the new Times staff for the Spring Term headed by Sarah Kleban. Her crew consisted of: Newton, who broke the record by achieving his flying hours in his Iunior year as Managing Editor, Norman, Associate Editor, who kept the reporters stepping fast by dealing out tough assignments, Derelys Ann and Katherine, who did more than their share in keeping us from going into a nose dive, and lohnson and laco, who remained as instructors in the training school and aided the fledglings in their training flights. The merit and demerit system which was started in the spring term brought amazing results. lmmediately the ads, features, and news began pouring in. We were happy and content sky-writing our success high above the home port and then we were suddenly brought down to earth by bombers which were piloted by chronic critics. However, they got used to our fancy flips and we soon were soaring high again. Kleban and Mattingly made solo flights in the Quill and Scroll contest as medal winners, and lohnson and Neal won other awards. ln the National Honor Air Meet, Bracken- ridge's Purple and White speedsters defeated their rivals. As the Purple and White Fleet circled the pylons, their streaking speed proved their merit.-Sarah Kleban. ,mans Back Row:-Vasquez, McAllister, Creager, Hart, Cody, Etheridge.

The staff of Hueben und Drueben has been very much interested in making a successful l94U flight. Our staff represents the German speaking students of Bracken- ridge. lt is our task to give our many subscribers in San Antonio, in Texas, and out of state and foreign countries, the best that is possible in the way of a German publication. The paper gives glimpses of activities in school, city and state. The personnel of our craft consists of those students taking German who are interested in a study of journalism. The Editor-in- Chief makes out the flying log for each issue. The course is carefully mapped out, always having a central theme. The Christmas number dealt with the celebration of that occasion at home and abroad. Other themes dealt with were Easter and Texas History. Each member of the staff has control of a definite department, such as sports, ROTC., music clubs, news, and feature stories. Mishaps have been few and the flying weather has been extremely fair. With our goggles in hand, we climb into our cockpit and bid you a happy farewell. -Norma Wilson. Page 17.3 iiiiigii EQ 22 SEE R HE?

The annual Purple Parade, the various assemblies, radio programs, and the Feb Privolities, all attest to the excellent showmanship of this group. The Thanksgiving program presented With appropriate dignity was Well received. Programs were not only presented at school but tor civic and social organizations throughout the year. The senior play was a farce en- titled Beginner's Luck. Entering in the lnterscholastic play contest, Brackenridge presented a Russian play A Marriage Proposal by Tshekott. William Slaughter, loyce l-ligh, and Edward l-lyman took major parts. Under Miss Dickey's capable coaching, they should win high acclaim. Page 174 l. Mr. Gary speaks at the 'Washington Assembly. 2.

Under the instruction of aeronautical en- gineer B.L.D. Roselle, the purple crate Extem- pore took off in September for a non-stop flight. Eorty cadets have been in training all year. One must have sufficient hours of flying to get his wings, must know contact, be able to taxi discreetly until ready to take to the air, identify ground positions, and fly by the compass. These seasoned birds must sit steady in the cockpit, keep their eyes on the beacon and never deviate from their course. Last year the sky- Writers were Kathryn Loftin and George Roper, who set the record in the air derby in the city and in the district, but pancaked in the region. This year's licensed flyers, C. l. Eeike and Adelaide lames, forced left to bail out in the city meet, and C. I. took the regional award also. The annual lnterscholastic League contest in declamation affords an opportunity for select- ing the outstanding talent in the speech de- partment. Much speaking is done by mem- bers of this group and self-confidence, ease, poise, and grace are coveted qualities that all seek to attain. Problems of our American sys- tem of government are chosen which will lead students to study and present to their hearers such questions as will encourage good citizen- ship. Mrs. lewel Rowe, the declamation coach, conducted a number of inter-class contests after which the Brackenridge representative was chosen. At the City Meet, Naomi Nelson spoke on So They Are Talking War Again and limmy Campbell on 'Youth and War. Naomi Nelson placed first in the city and also first in the district and in the region. No more effective means of developing the ability for clear-cut, sincere and forceful speaking before an audience is given than that presented in our debate classes. Under Mr. Lingle's direction, thorough preparation has been given in the requisites for this art. Many practice debates are held with other schools. ln lanuary, lanie Pace and lewel Mc- Means came back from Austin the proud possessors of a cup presented for first place. At Waco, lanie and Ellen lune Wallace received superior rating and in l-louston, Bessye Rae Ellis and Ellen lune Wallace went to the semi-finals. At San Marcos, lanie, lewel, Erank, and Herbert received superior ratings, and in Yoakum both boys and girls went to the finals. Our girl debaters won 68 decisions and lost Zl, the boys Won 36 and lost l6. At the city meet the girls represented by lewel and lanie came out first and the boys second. ln the district and regional meet the girls again placed first.

First our pilot, Mrs. Collins, will show us around the Music Department. We are entering the headquarters of the Mixed Cflee Club. This is a music class ot the more advanced pupils from the Girls' Glee Club and Boys' Glee Club. With the help ot the Girls' Glee Club, the Mixed Cflee Club put on an operetta, l'The Band- wagon. This operetta won much recognition tor the Music Department. The uniforms ot white sweaters with the insignia ot the class on the tront, worn over white dresses and suits, are worn one day a week by all members. Friday is the day set aside tor busi- ness meetings and programs. Each member must participate in the programs. After much coaxing on the part ot some pupils each one eventually surrenders. The class both entertains and is entertained by programs and socials ot various sorts. Picnics, parties, dances and shows are given. This class enables the pupils to perform alone a,nd in a group before the public. The otticers are given merits tor their responsibility. Merits and demerits are given to pupils who do, or who don't, bail out tor the rehearsals. All Music classes are held in hangar number l4U.

The harmony classes are usually the smallest but most interesting. ln these classes the pupils must get down to hard Work for this is the class Where the theory of music is taught. lt is not difficult for talented and interested pupils, and those who take this Work seriously learn the foundation of piano playing. No singing is done in this class. Theory is taught to a certain extent in other classes also. The Glee Clubs participate in various assemblies during the year. One of the highlights was the part taken in The Feb Frivoli- ties. During Christmas tho Glee Clubs sang carols at the hotels and in the halls of Brack- enridge. This was very beautiful with the boys and girls in uniform. The Girls' Glee Club sang for the P.-T. A several times. The Club is now affiliated with the State Federation of Music Clubs. Classical music is stressed at all times. Cut of the different classes, solo voices are developed While duets, trios, and quartettes are also coached. The Boys Cflee Club presents practically the same training as that given to the girls. This is a be- ginners' class but if the boys progress rapidly they are promoted to the Mixed Glee Club. Both boys and girls enrolled in the vocal classes receive invaluable training in an appre- ciation and love for music. 1 Page 179 ltlllllllff lllllllf UHEHESTHA I Otto Zoeller, Conductor VIOLIN: Margaret Geyer, Myra Nell Peters, Nellie Kath- leen Sharpe, Virginia Gulley, Elliott Lawrence, Dorris Elaine Young, Thelma Zimmer, Marion I-Ielen Davis, Katie Mae Eardley, Celia Irene Ellis, Roberta Pugh, Ered Ribe, Rosalyn Sills, Logan Smiley, Ir.

This group is more seriously musical- minded than the band, and provides a better foundation of music for those who are really interested in it. Since music is essential to all good programs, the Brackenridge Orchestra lends its support to the many assemblies and entertainments put on by the school. This is a pleasure for the students and it often provides a means of support through college. Often scholarships are a help of this kind. The orchestra is very proud of the first division rating awarded it in the National Regional Contest held at Abilene last year. Among the string players winning first division in the same contest were: Margaret Geyer and Myra Nell Peters in violin solos, and the string quartette. Numbers studied by the orchestra include: The Unfinished Symphony by Franz Schubert, the second move- ment being the l94O required contest number, Rossini's Semiramide Overture, the over- tures Merry Wives of Windsor, Poet and Peasant and Zampa. The orchestra in flying with the Great Purple Eleet has covered much ground, and enjoyed the cruise. -Margaret Geyer. Page 180 lllllllltll llllllll rt rr Harold Wallace Alfred Cranford.

The Band is no longer a part of the ROTC. and, therefore, it has its own officers. The band won lst Division last year in the State Contest, and was placed in the lst Division in con- cert, sight reading and marching this year. The repertoire of the band this year is as usual. Contest numbers are: A Manx Overture byWood, March Slave by Tschailcowsky, William Tell Overture by Rossini, Finlandia, a tone poem by Sebelius, and other lighter numbers. The text book, the Victor Method, is still prescribed. The band has a better brass section than ever before according to Mr. Zoeller. The band played at all the football games this last season, and at the following civic programs: The President's Ball and The Military Ball, The Boy Scout Parade, Fat Stock Show Parade, The Elks Minstrel Show Parade, and at the State Teachers' Convention.

A new musical unit, the Accordion Band, directed by Mr. Otto Zoeller, made its first appearance at Brackenridge High School this year. The Accordion Band has become quite popular with various and sundry organizations. ln the short time the Accordion Band has been organized, it has acquired stunning uniforms. The uniforms carry out the tradi- tional colors of purple and white. The Accordion Band plays classical, semi-classical and also some swing. The members of the Accordion Band are strictly swing-minded, but our programs always contain some classical numbers. The price of the accordions of the members range from SlUU to 3300. The members are: Henry Hein, Charles Ford, La Verne Cryer, Carra Lee Byler, Margaret Crow, Virginia Biegel, Frances Chitwood, and Wanda lean Butcher. The end of this term marks the beginning of the third active year of the Brackenridge Drum and Bugle Corps. Having marched in a number of parades, drilled at all the foot- ball games, and played at various programs this past year, the Corps and Mr. Zoeller, their director and friend, hope for even bigger and better performances next year. Last year, when the school still felt the Corps was more an experiment than an established or- ganization in Brackenridge, everyone was surprised to see them tie lefferson High School for first place honors in the Battle of Flowers Contest. This year, with their spirits high and the one thought, Work and fight to win, in their minds, 48 girls are determined there will be no tie in that contest, or in any other contest they enter. lt takes real school spirit to accomplish what they have done and it is with pride and admiration that Brackenridge tips its hat and says, More power to you! -Florene Willis.

Don't let me Waver off my course, But keep it ever straight And when l make my solo flight, Clean shall be my slate. When that day comes, oh Dearest Lord, Great Pilot of Mankind, When You call me to my Home Port Keep this request in mind. The Mighty Hangar is so large, There's so much room in it, That what l am about to ask Won't put You out a bit. l have a little crate, and she Has always brought me through, And when l start on my last trip I'd like to take her, too. So when You read Your mighty list, And come across by name lust let me fly into your heaven ln my trusty aeroplane. - Grace Ganter Dua fiwk w--.1-9.31 -XML mil it-we 1 J l' ffl?
