These brave men were once students like you and me, enjoying the treedom ot a democratic nation. Rather than let their deeds pass Without glory, We pay solemn tribute to them and their spirit Which shall never die nor perish from our hearts.

Dear Uncle Sam, l'm sending you today My smallest son: he's very, Very dear. Please take him to your heart-relieve my tear. He's still so young to tight, to kill to slay. 'l must en1ist,' he said. What could l say, My heart in shreds, a smile to hide my tear, My little school boy in his eighteenth year- And yet I could not, would not bid him stay- He left last night, this precious child ot mine. God understands, tor He, too, had a son He sent to tight a globol War for men. And l'll awake, some glorious day divine, An Easter morn, the peace and victory Won, To tind him standing at my side again. His name, America, With you is filed.

Page 19 The Brackenridge Parent-Teacher Association, with a membership ot Well over tive hundred has endeavored to do its part on the home front by meeting the challenge at all times ot the motto, l'Our concern, every youth. The program has been a flexible one and was designd to meet the adjust- ments that ot necessity arise in War time. Our program chairman has kept the membership aware ot the constant changes taking place in our schools, by the use of skilled speakers both adult and student. We have again sought the help of the students by including in our Executive Committee two representa- tives of the Student Council. lt has been our pleasure to continue two traditions of the Association, namely, to have the Honor Reception for all honor students and to present cash awards to two sewing students for the most appropriate graduation dresses. Besides carrying on all regular departments, the Association sponsored an Emergency Hospital of 125 beds, the furnishing of a recreation room at one of our army camps and invested surplus funds in war bonds. No effort of the P.-T.A. could hope to attain even a small measure of success without the friendly co-operation' of the principal, faculty and entire student body of the school. The association proudly acknowledges its debt to each of the above and humbly and gratefully says thank you. Page 20 Page 21 Ma.

A hard and earnest membership drive was held at the beginning of school which was indeed a success. The first dance that the seniors gave was The Victory Prom, a formal held in November, which was a triumphant success. The seniors undertook a very difficult task this year, that of standardizing a ring for Brackenridge. After much reasoning and analyzing the entire student body was given the chance to pick the ring of their choice and the seniors' task was accomplished whereby Brackenridge Was again to have a standard ring. In February the seniors had their annual picnic which was one of the most successful senior picnics ever given. The seniors had their second dance, 'lThe Lampkin's Leap, in March which also Page 32 Page 33 SENIOR CLASS --CCont'dD proved to be a howling success. Due to war conditions the seniors felt that the least they could do toward the war effort was to give up their formal dresses and formal suits for graduation, so they voted to graduate in caps and gowns which is the first time in the history of Brackenridge that a class has taken this step forward. The Senior Play, When Stars Shine, was given in April under the splendid direction of Miss leston Dickey. lt was another activity that was put on the list of success. With all activities well done and laid aside, the seniors eagerly awaited the Baccalaureate Sermon and Commencement Exercises. .Amid laughter and sad goodbyes said with heavy hearts the senior class of '43 ended three happy and successfully spent years. -Imogene Tampke ABEL, BETTY: Purple Iaclcet Mistress of Costume, Charme, Glee Club Chairman, Adv.

Now as We part, a glistening tear Quite unashamed is seen appear- Our hearts are heavy, you must leave- For, the evil, not for you We grieve. You're leaving us to win the peace, Defend us and make wars to cease- Our enemy's plan is greed and hate, But you are brave-your country great.

Under the leadership of our able president, Paul Ranney, and through the cooperation of the class members, our class had a year filled with activities. In order to really get things started, a dues campaign was sponsored, and through the sincere efforts of the dues col- lectors from each of the advisories, the class netted a sizeable sum for its treasury. Never to be forgotten was the annual lunior Prom, an informal dance this year because of the war, but the usual sweet sentiment for the time of Valentine prevailed. The sweetheart theme was carried out and the evening closed with a lasting memory of Cupid's Capers to remain in the minds of all who attended. Having completed successfully our sophomore and junior years, we look forward eagerly to our senior year with a hope and a determination that it, too, will be successful. -Annabelle Sullivan Page 52 Top Row ADAMS, Nelalice, ADAMS, Patricia, ALBERT, Leatrice, ALEXANDER, Mayes, ALEORD, Noel, ALLEN, Lena Mae, ANDERSON, Charles, ANGEL, Betty, APPLEBY, Vivian, ARNOLD, Elaine.

Yes, such was the title they gave him, that grave, erect leader of rabble. He must have known as he conceived me that the Very ragged rebels he led into battle were the forefathers of a mighty nation, who would carry me forever as their banner. . . I have seen much. As a child I waved bravely over a ragged band of farmers who first proved that brotherhood and freedom were practical terms. . . I was borne over French fields red with poppies and the blood of American boys in the World War, and my flaming ensign was flown over ships sailing our expeditionary forces back in another freedom's victory. Today I Wave in Guadalcanal, in the Aleutians, and across the other sea in England and Africa as a challenge and warn- ing to all the enemies of brotherhood and liberty. Defeats will only wash in tears my red, White, and blue and make their Colors clearer - there can be no permanent defeat for me, for I am Victory's inner spirit. . . Someday what the colors of my folds signify will spread like wings of peace over humanity, when courage, peace, and fidelity shall safeguard the liberty of man everywhere. So long as brotherhood lives on earth, l, the Star Spangled Banner, in triumph shall wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. -Alice Billing Page 60 Page Sapfaamaae Ufficead BEN LEONARD ..,,.

The inexperienced sophomores, in their initial tasks have now found their stride under the able guidance of their sponsors, Miss Cecile Lawrence and Miss Nell Beasley. With the splen- did cooperation of the class members, the officers plotted a very successful year full of glorious achievements. Among these activities we find the spohomores sponsoring a dance, which ranked among the best of the year, and a picnic packed with unlimited fun and thrills. Both of these activities, in line with all the rest, reached the height of success. lf one were to analyze the first year of the sophomores, he would find a class with a glorious beginning, a successful ending, and greater still, a class with a very promising future. -Suzanne Westbrook Page 62 I Top Row AGNEW, Mary lane, ALLEN, A.

Page 67 BLESSED BY THE DAY The sun will shine, the birds will sing, And men will laugh While bells Will ringg The bees will dance around the comb, And children in the fields will roam. All men before the shrine will kneel To tell the Lord of how they feel, To send their loving, humble thanks To l-lim on high from lowly ranks. And blessed will be that happy day When skies are blue instead of grayg And from far lands across the foam Our peerless boys come marching home. -Ernest Baetz Page 68 FOTE fdfff LUV ' . f A ,X f jf , ff my A W 4 f .

From that time up to the present, the Brackenridge R.O.T.C. has grown in magnitude until it has now reached the peak of its career as a basic military organization. These cadets show the spirit ot their fellow-men who are away at the front, engaged in mortal combat with our enemies.

Troop No. 1, San Antonio, was organized in February, 1924, at 13.1-LS. and sponsored by the Brackenridge P.-'1'.A. in 1942. Recreations, hikes, outdoor cookery have always been em- phasized, but the War has accentuated the need for service in emergencies and Girl Scouts are being trained to assist the community in many Ways during World War II. When properly qualified they are made Senior Service Scouts. Nearly all the girls have lunior First Aid certificates, and are learning signaling, home-making, to be handy with the usual household tools, and to be skilled out-door cooks. They have entertained convalescents with marionette shows and have made cookies for the soldiers and plan soon to assist the U.S.O. after school hours in caring for children of Defense Workers at a Nursery School. This will train the Girl Scouts to help care for children through story-telling and games and preparation of correct food, should an emergency occur. OFFICERS 1942-1943 GLORIA WHITTON . ...........,.

So it Was that the Student Council of Brackenridge was able to venture forth into a year whose calendar was filled with wartime activities. With the buying ot War Bonds and Stamps being stressed so earnestly by our government, Bracken- ridge, through the Student Council, again decided to do its share in this necessary cause. The drive this year was bigger and better than ever, with the sponsoring ot two stamp-buying campaigns. During the week of December 7th the American citizens of B.H.S. showed their determination of winning the war by buying nearly nine-hundred dollars worth of stamps at school aside from numerous bonds purchased by the 7fze Simfwz' Gam ' Page 84 7fze Slacfenl' eaancllf students outside ot school. A second drive was sponsored in the Spring Term tor the purpose of buying a jeep. Enthusiasm prevailed throughout the campaign, and the school Went Well over its goal. Red Cross activities also held a place on our calendar ot activities. Students were asked to bring books and comic books for the soldiers, keeping in mind that the book to give is the one you Want to keep. Furnishing a day-room for the men in uniform was another Worthy project We undertook. Students enthusi- astically brought articles of turniture to make this a successfjust one of the many things that the Student Council, through the students of B.H.S. has done in adding pounds to the scale that will Weigh our victory in this war! -Annabelle Sullivan SPRING TERM LELL BARNES . ,.......,,....,...

The Brackenridge Folk-lore Society, one of the newest organizations in Brackenridge High School, was organized in September, 1942, with Miss Leilet Richter, as sponsor. The aims and ideals of the Society as stated in the Constitution are: To learn more of the folk-lore and history of our city and state, to visit the various places of historic interest in San Antonio, and to interest others in folk-lore. Two meetings a month are given over to learning old-time Texas reels and square dances. The Society's activities began in October with a tour of historic homes in San Antonio, sponsored by the local Chapter of University Women. Later, we visited Mission Concepcion and Concepcion battlefield. In December, new members were initiated at the O. Henry House, and was followed by a Mexican supper. Singing of traditional carols and a visit from Santa Claus Cto the good membersl marked Christmas, Officers for the Spring semester were installed in Ianuary at a dinner in the Old South Cafe. St. Valentines Day was observed by a party on February IO. Visits to the Alamo, the Governors place, the missions, and a special observance of Texas Independence Day rounded out March's activities. In true Texan style, the anni- versary of the Battle of San Iacinto was celebrated with a dance at the Cos House, in La Villita. In May, graduating Seniors of the Society were honored with a supper and Lancha ride on the San Antonio River. This ended an active year for the organization. From the interest and enthusiasm shown in the first year of the Society's existence, we are confident that it is destined to ever greater prominence and prestige.

The motto of the Latin Club is Non progredi est regredi, and our present sponsor is Miss Smith who has sponsored the club since 1938. Although all the socials are enjoyed immensely, the biggest and most enjoyable social ot the year is the Saturnalia. This banquet keeps alive a grand old custom of the Romans and is held annually about Christ- mas time. Other enjoyable socials ot the year include picnics and a farewell party, given in May in honor ot the graduating seniors. All the members are deeply interested in the Welfare ot the club, and everyone has a grand time at the socials. -Bessie Mae Barnes FALL TERM V BUFORD FARRIS . ..,..... ..... P res.

The Gold Bug Short Story Club, under the guidance of Miss Wimberly, is striving for better and greater things for our country, our school, and our club. This year, more than ever, we find it necessary to stress in our programs good citizenship, a good command of English, and recreation for times that may be a little difficult. . Following the election of our new members, which takes place in November, an initiation, with the customary pirate's ritual, is held. Although the number of members is limited by the constitution, when one is once elected to our club, she will always be considered a member. Gold Bug tradition, based on events since 1918, was continued in the spring when our annual banquet brought all the members together around a festive table. qw ga, sw: szw, em Page 88 i,.,.--...LN L ....-Q you QW szmz sm, cw Mother's Day and the Story Telling Festival provided a scene of keen but friendly competition among the three classes of contestantsesophomores, juniors, and seniors-for possession oi the coveted Gold Bug emblems of superiority in the telling ot tales.

Interest in Science is the motivating influence of the boys Science Club of B.H.S. This organization started its year under the co-sponsorship of Mrs. Bannosky and Miss Pagel. Miss Pagel later organized a girls Science Club and left us for that post. IlVe are now ably sponsored by Mrs. Bannosky. With such leaders as fall-president Alton Grimm and spring-president, Floyd Muller, the club has had a very full year. A business meeting is held the first and third week of every month, while a program meeting is held on the second and fourth. lf there should be a fifth meeting in the month, refreshments are served. The members of the club have two dominating objectives in view at all times. These goals are to help the Science Department at B.H.S. whenever possible and to increase our knowledge in the world of science. In our program meetings, various members of the club present a program pertaining to science. Although Science Glad Page 90 all the programs are interesting, two of the most outstanding programs were given by Mr. Gary and Logan Smiley. Mr. Gary showed us some of the phenomena ol Science in chemistry, in physics, and in the human body. Logan's program consisted of a lecture on psychology in which Logan explained the fundamentals of the science and demonstrated them. Miss Rose Davis, our teacher of physics, is always Willing to assist us with equipment, experiments, explanations, and the use of her laboratory. Our activity in science has not kept us from being equally as active in the social World. Our dance was an outstanding success, The decoration scheme was original and the music was exceptionally good. Our club therefore ends a lull and active year. -Sam Pantuso. f' Pa x in Page .91 FALL TERM ETTA LOUISE BRAND . .... Pres. SHIRLEY SCHWEITZER ........ V. Pres, CHARLOTTE ROBERTSON . .Rec.

The Wa Kapa Club was founded twenty-two years ago by Miss Georgia Armstrong. It was originally called the Library Club but was later renamed Wa Kapa Club. Wa Kapa, in the Indian language means friendship. This year the club with the able assistance of our sponsor, Miss Louise Allen, has tried to keep the ideal of friendship alive and growing. This year's activities started with the election of new members. The formal initiation was held in October. Christmas each year brings around an event dear to the heart of every Wa Kapa member. Mid fun and laughter we decorated a Christmas tree in the center hall. As we hung balls and stars and tinsel, many of the students gathered to give the advice. Even Mr. Gary and Mr. Kay came to their office doors when we consulted them. In the week that followed the amazing thing was that, although crowds swirled gaily through the hall and about the tree, only a few ornaments were broken. Later we carefully packed the decorations away until next year and turned our thoughts to other things-a calendar with picnics and parties. As Miss Allen laughingly says, Everytime we get some money we plan a party and eat up the treasury. :Q -sz Wa Kapa Page 92 Wa Kafpa In Ianuary a luncheon was given at the Rio Vista Restaurant. At this luncheon the officers of the fall term relinquished their offices to the officers elected for the spring term. This was followed by a game party in our school cafeteria which we gave to become acquainted with the prospective members. In an impressive and beautiful ceremony seventeen new members were initiated into the club. As they took the pledge, each new member was presented with a lovely corsage. One of the highlights of the year was the picnic given for the members and their dates and friends at Koehler Park. Bicycling, chatting, dancing, and boat riding climaxed by a sumptuous feast ended a day which will long be remembered by the members of the Wa Kapa Club. In May the farewell banquet honoring the seniors was given. This is always an occasion enjoyed by all, yet with an overtone of sadness as we bid good-bye to our friends with whom we have spent so many pleasant hours. SPRING TERM A SHIRLEY SCHWEITZER . .....

The Iunior Historian Organization is composed of boys and girls who find enjoyment in Texas history, its early pioneers and significant historical relics. This club was organized in the spring of 1941, with Mrs. Magruder as sonsor. The lunior Historian Organization is statewide, being the junior division of the Texas State Historical Association. Crammed with activities, this year has been especially enjoyable to all the club membership. Mr. C. Stanley Banks, well known historian of San Antonio, spoke to club members and visitors on The Siege and Fall of the Alamo. Historical facts of this famous historical shrine revealed to all present, the courage of the early Texans who defended it to the end. During September, the Iunior Historians entertained new sophomores entering Brackenridge I-Iigh. Accordion music was furnished by Rosemary Melancon and Marian Yeager, after which games were played. To finance the club's activities, every member joined in making their dance, The White Christmas Frolicf' one of the successes ot the year. After touring the winding San Antonio River in a river boat, a group of the lunior Historians practiced tor the coming pageant to be given during Texas Week. Viewing and living the parts of early Texas settlers, this pageant proved to be one of the most interesting activities undertaken by the club. Blue ribbons were also presented to those students making A in history. Although these activities have been successfully carried out, the Iunior Historians are still full of not only ideas for our club, but also appreciation tor our state and its historic significance. uniafz Jim' ' 4 Page 94 We Qu! llewwea As junior members of the Young VVomen's Christian Association, the Girl Reserves ascribe to the pur- pose of their paternal organization: To build a fellowship of women and girls devoted to the task of realizing in our common life those ideals of personal and social living to which we are indebted by our faith as Christians.

A Among the activities enjoyed by the members during '42 and '43 are: a candlelight initiation service at the Y.W.C.A., a party at which quilts and scrapbooks for war benefit were made, and a hayride to Buckaroo Dude Ranch. Other social highlights include: a mother-daughter Valentine tea, a second quilting party, the Girl Reserve-Hi-Y Irish Iig Dance, and our monthly Monday-night suppers at the Y.VV.C.A. for city-wide Girl Reserve Clubs.

Since this is War time, We decided to choose and to learn more about some branch of the service as our project for the year. Because the Marines had fought in so many of the decisive battles, We thought that it would be very interesting and Worth-While to learn more about them. We have had round-table discussions on their Work and bought books for the Marine library. In the fall term We had the annual Serelia for our mothers. In lanuary we had the installation of the officers for the spring term in the home of a club member. To make the year of 1942 and '43 a perfect one, We had our annual Rose Day Tea for the members of our faculty.

However, because we could not be as- sured ot transportation, candy, or toys, the annual party was cancelled this year until some future date. ln October, a Twilight Tea welcoming the new members was held at Dorothy Conway's house.

The Society of Student Opinion of Brackenridge High School being one of the youngest organizations, does not keep it from being an active one. The name of the club or the ever prominent letters SOSO having appeared in local newspapers more than thirty times, is sufficient proof of its activity. After having been founded on the remains of the Digit Diggers, the SOSO began a successful year by acguainting the student body with its purpose. The SOSO Club during the past year or two has been carrying on a survey of student opinions. The results of this survey served to keep B.H.S. informed about B.H.S. opinion, one of the club's purposes. The major event during the club's existence is judged to be old license-plate collection contest, which served the three-fold purpose of conserving metal for the nation's war-effort, providing money for charitable organizations, and making the two winning advisories happy with their awards. The club this year also has taken up the program of Physical Fitness in which all members are participating. This program consists of various physical events. The club this year had quite a set-back in membership. All the members last year consisted of high seniors with the exception of two. These two were left by themselves to build the club up to its present status. This set-back did not in any way affect the activity and progress of the club. Por instance the club donated 55.00 to the B.H.S. hospital unit. The club is at present in the midst of collecting magazines for the U.S.O. of a campaign for the collection of magazines in co-operation with the U.S.O.

Bottom Row: The magic of charm is fast becoming the criterion of a new aristocracy-the individual must be worthy of his position in life or he cannot continue to occupy it-the new world does not belong to the lazy. This is the motto of the Charme Society. The aim of the club is to help its members be useful American citizens by being charming, well-mannered girls with pleasing personalities. The Charme Society was organized by Miss Willie Rehm in l937, carrying out the original idea of Miss Viola Moore, dean of girls at Brackenridge. lt is distinguished in that it is the only Wednesday club to have a uniform. The uniform is a blue and white jumper dress. The activity of the club consists of four main socials: the Halloween Breakfast, the Christmas Party, the Spring Picnic, and the Senior banquet. There are many 'tin between good times too. Guest speakers and members talk to the girls on charm at the semi-monthly meetings. The club also has a Question Box through which the Charmes discuss problems confronting them in the social and business world. -Nina Helen Engel It efnmme .fciniefz f Socially 3 The founders of the Laniers instituted friendliness for their theme, and it is only natural that the officers and members cooperate in Work and play. In keeping with the chosen theme, We started the year of 1943 by installing the new members in a friendly manner. At this ceremony the new members Were familiarized with the requirements of becoming a Lanier. Each officer held an arrow representing the standards a Lanier should strive to uphold. One of the most interesting events of the year Was our book Week assembly. Annually our assembly is given in honor of book Week, at which time We present a gift to the library. This assembly is to promote interest and enthusiasm in selecting and reading better books. The theme this year was Information Please. The Lanier members represented characters and titles from books. The grand finale consisted of the members in their respective costumes. The United States and Texas Were both represented by their color- ful flags Which stood on opposite edges of the platform. The program closed with the cast and audience singing God Bless America While patriotic youth Was represented by an R.O.T.C. officer and a sponsor saluting the flag.

The Garden Club was organized to give its members practical experience in floral culture, arrange- ment, and appreciation, but at the same time it was established to provide fun and good times throughout the year for its members and other Brackenridge students. This year the Garden Club was particularly active in beautifying the Brackenridge Campus and the Brackenridge area by sponsoring a sale of Gladioli and Ranunculus bulbs. Then, too, the Garden Club, in conjunction with the Delphinium Club of Highland Park, planted Anemones in front of the school cafeteria. At La Villita the Garden Club donated and planted 500 Ranunculus bulbs and two fine rose bushes, and later held a party-dance there with the lunior Historian Club. When the Flowers were in bloom, the mem- bers of the Garden Club returned to La Villita followed by a tour of the River Beautification Project and the Alamo Gardens. The annual event of the Garden Club, the Brackenridge Flower Show, was again held with its usual success and splendor. This array of Springs best is shown in order to bring us all in Contact with those things of beauty that we in these crucial times are so apt to forget. The Garden Club is proud of its Victory Garden that has inspired many Brackenridge students to follow suit in growing both food and plants to insure Victory. is Qafzclen Glad Page 106 i-W Glad l.

This year, by cooperating whole-heartedly with the local Y.M.C.A., school, and community, the I-Ii-Y Club of BHS. had successfully attached its name and purpose to the heart of everyone with whom it has been associated. Every member of the Brackenridge Chapter can proudly say that he is part of the club that promotes christianity at school. Each boy has allied himself with the Hi-Y motto, one with christianity as its goal, to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. Among our many activities this year are a few that are well remembered. The club presented to each student and teacher in B.l'l.S. a sticker upon which was printed The Lord's Prayer and The Star Spangled Banner. Then the night before the Thanksgiving Day Game, the Hi-Y presented in the B.l-LS. gym the annual Beat leff Prom, and as usual, it was most successful. Shortly after this affair, the club held a Father and Son Night to promote further understanding between father and son. There was a large group represented, and Mr. Arnold, principal of Emerson lunior School, spoke on the subject, Man to Man followed by Mr. Billo Smith, Y.M.C.A. Boys' Work Secretary, who spoke on For Better Understanding of the I-li-Y Purpose. -fe i - W Glad Page 108 z,Zf Glad We shall never forget our former sponsor, Mr. Wyman I-Iigdon, who is now in the U. S. Army Air Force, nor the enjoyable social we attended at his home following his induction into the service. It was early in November that we held our first Fire of Fellowship at Madlas Ranch. About two-thirds of the club attended, and everybody came home tired enough to go to the Football Game at Alamo Stadium that night and sleep. The club also enjoyed the semi-annual Initiation Reception held at La Villita and the Y.M.C.A. The two Co-ed Nights held at the Y.M.C.A. were enjoyed by all who attended and the main events were Swimming and Dancing. We have shown our patriotic spirit by painting air raid wardens' signs, also in the drive to secure books for the Prisoners of War. These books went overseas for our fighting men who have been captured as prisoners of war. We trust that these books were a symbol of Brackenridge appreciation for the sacrifices and valiant deeds on the battle fronts, and that these brave defenders know our thoughts are of them and our hearts with them. If some day the members of the fall term of '43 are called to fill a heroes' grave we feel that they will go down with an inspired heart and a clean soul for such a noble cause.-Gorman Riley, Tommie McCre1ess CO-CHAIRMEN ROGER LEE . .....r..,...,....r Project FRANK SCOTT .... ...

Roselle has sponsored every initiation ceremony. The National Association of Second- ary School Principal, realizing that throughout the nation, schools were feeling the need of some uniform method of recognizing scholarship, organized the National Honor Society. School officials oll over the United States were delighted with this step toward uniformity in rewarding outstanding work, for not only did it do away with any local scholarship societies, but it gave an added meaning to members whose standing is at once recognizable in any state or college by the society emblem. Eligibility to membership A Wafianal Alanna aifianal Jfanafz in the society rests upon the strong base of scholarship. From the highest third of the senior class in scholar- ship, a maximum of fifteen percent of the class may be elected. If he is of unimpeachable character, if he has rendered service to the school in some special field, and if he has shown some degree of leadership in the extra curricular activities and the community life of the institution, a student is considered worthy of selec- tion. A beautiful certificate of membership bearing the Brackenridge school seal and a replica of the emblem of the society is presented to each person receiving the honor of membership on the day he is initiated.

Quill and Scroll is an honor given to BHS. lournalists. Students admitted to this international organi- zation must have at least eighty inches printed in some paper or two years ot service on the Annual Staff. This year, under the .able leadership ot its president, Logan Smiley, the Alice Stone Chapter of Quill and Scroll has undertaken many worthwhile activities. A radio program over a local station each week gives students and friends ot Erackenridge all the news of our school, as does a column prepared once a week for one of our city's newspapers. A column in the School Chatter section ot one ot our Sunday papers is written by a member ot this organization. An initiation oi new members was held and a farewell was given to the graduating seniors of the society. aillanclfgcaall Zagle Soma N Eagle Soars is an honorary organization. The honor is given to outstanding Brackenridge seniors. Up to the time ot the discontinuation of the Times, the soaring eagle was presented in the school paper with a picture and an interesting write-up. Now, the student is interviewed on the Quill and Scroll Weekly radio program. The interview consists of the student's honors achieved in high school, his or her likes and dislikes, description and general information of the student. The soaring eagle is picked by the officers of Quill and Scroll with the approval ot Miss Moore and Mr. Kay. It is an honor that spohomores look tor- ward to when they become seniors. -LaVerne Collins Top Row:-Baetz, Barnes, Biegert, Bond, Childress. 2nd Row:-Cleveland, Col- lins, Flores, Grimm, Hugman. 3rd Row: Huebner, Hampton, Kosub, Lawler, ckhart. 4th Row:-Neal, vliahinowitg, Riley, Rilling, Strkilg Smiley.

Mr. Average American, to Whom Old Glory is a common right and the Wonders it stands for merely habits, what thoughts run through your mind as you siop to gaze for a moment at your flag? Do you remember how your liberty-loving ancestors gave their very lives so that you might be free? You stand there, and little chills run up and down your spine as you think of the unbelievable advantages you have over every other race in the world. Mr. Plain Man, Wonderful in your simple, easy going, co- operative life, of course you cannot just stand and gaze and think much.

During all these years the journalism classes have published many a successful paper. Today, due to the many shortages caused by 'World War ll, the traditional Times has been discontinued for the duration. In September of this year the Times started under the able leadership of Genevieve Flores and Dorothy Treybig, Co-Editors, and Mrs. Virginia Cannon, sponsor.

Approximately once a week the band has played at the various U.S.O. Clubs, Army Camps, or Training Centers. The Band has also aided in the bond and stamp drives of the city. The Victory Concert on General Krueger Day, March l9, l943, was given by a select group from eight bands of San Antonio, and thirty-two of the one hundred and fifty players were from Brackenridge. This Victory Drive, sponsored by Al Heck and Howard Davis, resulted in the purchase of twenty Flying Fortresses that were to be called The Alamo Squadron. Besides the regular school activities at which the band always adds color, they took part in parades for various drives such as the Red Cross, the W.A.A.C., and the China Relief. The band also played at tho A. CS M. football game and the Lions and Optimists baseball game. There is not a member in the band who does not stand ever-ready to assist in the upholding of tho morale of the armed forces and the civilian life of our city. Mr. Zoeller, the excellent director of the band, is extremely proud of this fine group of student musicians. fMelba Dullnig X ,ff 0 nfl. e can 4' Ewcke E cf Page 120 E. elf. S.

These sweaters were purchased with proceeds from a dance and are now the property of the glee club to be issued each year to members. The Advanced Girls Chorus is a member of San Antonio Iunior Federation of Music Clubs. Their per- formances before this club have been enjoyed both by the participants and the club members. Due to transportation and difficulties and other war conditions, the usual State Festival and Contest at San Marcos was abandoned for this year-and while this was a disappointment, the clubs have been too busy singing for the various Army camps, fields and U.S.O. programs to regret repeating last year at the contest. They feel they are really doing something of which to be proud, when they entertain the soldiers, this service has really been the year's project.

I Pwaple faakeh Page 139 The Football games in the Fall started the Purple lackets off to another exciting and eventful year of activities under the leadership of their president, Gloria Bond. The Girls have participated in quite a num- ber of events other than the regular schedule of football and basketball games. The Purple lackets assisted With the selling of War Bonds during Ginger Rogers' appearance at' the Municipal Auditorium, their cheers for A. and M. echoed around the Alamo Stadium during the Washington State Vs. A. and M. football game, and as usual they added their bit of color to the Purple Parade and Field Night. The socials have been gala occasions. The Christmas Party Was somewhat of a peculiar sight with the girls carrying dolls and pulling little trinker toys. The gifts Were later contributed to the orphanages Where they could make the unfortunate children happy on Christmas Day. A lovely luncheon was given in the Cascade Terrace of the St. Anthony. Miss Moore, Mr. Gary, and Mr. Kay were guests. Everyone forgot formalities and donned Cowboy Clothing to attend the Round-up. The Gym was decorated With corn stalks, saccles, colored lights, and an artificial camp fire burned, giving the gym that wild Western appearance. Many former Purple lackets attended The P. I.'s hurried out to Koehler Park for their annual Picnic and had a Wonderful time dancing, bicycling, horseback riding, motor boat riding, and last but not least, indulging in delicious hot dogs and other picnic specials. The Girls have also done a bit of parading. They participated in the W. A. A. C. recruiting Parade, the Red Cross Parade, and the Pilgrimage to the Alamo. The Banquet and Dance is scheduled for the evening of May l5th in the Plaza Hotel Ballroom, and every- one is looking forward to it most eagerly. This school year has been a busy but pleasant one, for the Purple lackets and shall never be forgotten. . , . , tx , i p I Page 140 pwbpfe fackelld, 51, SLAM ,X !

HIT 'EM HIGH Hit 'em high, Hit 'em low Come on team lets go Something new has been added to Brackenridge-the lunior W.A.A.C. Last term the Sponsors of the ROTC. were asked by Mr. Gary to take charge of the organizing and training of a regiment of Iunior W.A.A.C.s including a drum and bugle corps. The Sponsors were very Willing and on lanuary 26, l943, the organization began its Work under the able leadership of faculty sponsor, Miss Mary Louise Rector, andEsC.o'lonelMl?hfyllisYHcimptcii. The Iunior W.A.A.C.s have had extensive drilling and training and they have Worked hard to perfect every detail. They have had close order drills, calisthenics, and instructions on Military Courtesy, Customs, and Discipline. Everyone was well rewarded for his hard Work when the W.A.A.C.s made their first public appearance Field Night, April 2. They were complimented highly on their ability to drill and the discipline they showed that night by the official W.fX.A.C. of Fort Sam Houston. Other activities which the W.A.A.C. have participated in were the parade given to help the W.A.A.C. Recruiting Drive and the Pilgrimage to the Alamo. The patriotism revealed by this voluntary service of young Americans is indeed inspiring to everyone. The Iunior W.A.A.C. Regiment has an important and brilliant future ahead of it, and may it continue to do the Work it has so Well begun. Iunior W.A.A.C.s, Brackenridge is indeed proud of you. -Captain Sponsor-Imogene Tampke. is Q umm W. 14. uniafz. W. 14. 14. 8. 5 :lil l. lunior W.A.A.C.'s on review. 2.
