When a faculty member came in to find the score of that day's World Series game, we realized baseball is a sport which interests everyone. The idea that we had? Have baseball as the theme for this 1948 edition of La Betama. This seemed impossible until much thought was given the subject. Or should I say improbable? The staff felt, however, that baseball needed boosting in the South. With our new ball park and the possible resump- tion of interscholastic baseball, we became determined to carry out our seemingly impossible task. Now, the question many of you will be asking: Why, since we're state champs in football, don't we dedicate an annual to football? Admittedly, at the time work began on the book, we had no idea that the Eagles would bring such honor to Brackenridge. We, the teen agers, become interested in football when the first cool breeze blows south from the Panhandle, while at summer's first sign, our minds turn not to baseball but to an array of other activities. We want baseball to be as synonymous with summer as football is with fall. In conclusion, we would like to thank Mr. Bill Osley, president of the San Antonio Mission Ball Club, and Mr. Bill Byrd, ex- ecutive secretary of the same organization, for their helpfulness when we asked for the privilege of taking division page pictures at Mission Ball Park, as they cheerfully got uniforms out of storage and pictures from scrapbooks. For the purpose of interesting you a little more in America's national sport, we devote the l948 edition of La Betama to baseball. Y W Z ,ffadaafefjenaifaan T H-. ,l..Lg 5. L. ,.,.. -, . ,cum . , ,.

She is a player others look up to tor guidance. ln spite ot her full schedule, she has time to give us all, from the insignificant rookie to the experienced umpire, advice on how to hit that ball ot knowledge a little harder, to catch that tly ot accuracy more otten, and to make that decision more quickly. An advocator ot strict adherence to the rules ot the game, she knows when to ad- minister an encouraging pat on the back, but a little more love propels that torce when it changes to a shove. To Miss Viola Moore, our dean ot girls, in loving appreciation, We dedicate the 1948 edition of La Retarna. PAGE 7 The teachers of BHS, like the umpires of a baseball game, watch the students, their ball players, at work and play with experienced, understanding eyes. Seldom do they make a wrong decision, and they have a steady habit of holding their own in even the most skillful arguments of protesting players. Calling strikes on careless classwork, inattention, and for- gotten homework, these school-day umpires manage to keep their players in line, but like their counterparts in the field of sports, theyngive the batters every chance they can to make good, remembering the days when they were up there slugging through the game of school life. ' z Y The umpires may have bottles heaved at them lhlfiand then, and teachers may see spitballs fly through the air danger- ously closeby, but the prevailing attitude toward these bosses is one of deep respect. After all, it is not really so often that an umpire's decision is truly questioned, and ball players usually regard the umpires just as BHS students regard their teachers- as swell people with good judgment and a fine sense of fair play.

Your standards and ideals will be shaken many times rather severely. Hold fast to them and make no compromises it at all possible. May each one of you be a splendid success in any undertaking of your choice. Be assured that I shall be cheering for you as you strive for further successes. lt there is ever any time of circumstance in Which l may be of assistance to you in a constructive manner, be sure to call upon me. Yours sincerely, ENOS GARY PAGE 11 ff , ff 'Te 7 A so fa mi ,ff iffdffffvff t5f,Q fM2tu,.fiQif4flffz,4ff9 All of us look forward to success in life. However, many failures grow out of a lack of a simple satisfying standard of success. Someone has said that one can achieve success if he lives well, if he gains the respect of intelligent men, and if he leaves the world better than he found it. One is successful only when he is useful. lt is the aim of Brackenridge through its teachings and services to send forth successful young people who possess ideals, knowledge, and abilities and who have the spirit of hope, liberty, justice, and love of fellowmen.

Railing Ending fqaeaage PAGE 29 Iust as players enter the game of baseball to profit from the association with others and to take part in an activity which will aid them in becoming better experienced and more adept in their life Work, so does the student enter into class life in high school. As he progresses from first to second to third base, as a sophomore, junior, and senior, he realizes more fully the vital importance of daily periods of study and group discussion. Through the unification of students in classes, they are enabled to exchange ideas, thoughts, opinions, which tend to make them broadminded, observant, and possessive of reasoning and com- mon sense. Ten years from now the majority of Brackenridge students will have forgotten intricate algebra formulas, or con- fusing dates in history, but the fundamental purpose of their classes will have been instilled in their minds. Finally, as the baseball player comes in for a run and a score, the high school student graduates and receives his diplo- ma. I-le will be a better person because of the illimitable fellow- ship, the thought-provoking problems, and the way of living he found in high school classes. Virginia K.

Jim- Senior: 61444 Bidding a reluctant farewell to the faculty, the students, and the halls of Brackenridge, the Senior Class of l948 took its leave in an impressive graduation ceremony at the Municipal Audi- torium, Friday night, May 28. loy and pathos filled the hearts of the seniors as they received their diplomas. Memories of the dances, the football and basketball games, as well as their friend- ships and classroom experiences were stamped indelibly in these minds that now were hopefully anticipating the future. The graduation was preceded on Sunday, May 23, by the Baccalaureate Service, also held at the auditorium. The rever- berations of the pipe organ seemed to lift the souls of those present to a higher plane and provided a force which compelled all the youths to consecrate their abilities and efforts to a noble use in life. As they listened to Prexy Charles Shurley's farewell talk, the seniors could scarcely refrain from reminiscing about their senior year. Their thoughts dwelt momentarily on the formal senior dance, the Reindeer Frolic, held in mid-December in the gym with the music of Bobby Geisler's orchestra, on the Senior Play, You Can't Take lt With You, Pulitzer prize play presented in the school auditorium March l8 to the delight of all present, on the senior picnic held on April Fool's Day, and on the second senior dance of April 16. The members of the class of '48 realize that in carrying out these activities, they have prepared themselves in a small way for larger and more demanding responsibilities ahead. Their usefulness as citizens is just beginning. Their talents are ready to be used and thereby increased. Though some of them would not admit it, a lump of some size probably filled the throats of these graduates as they left the auditorium. Nevertheless, they face the future with a determi-- nation to lead in various ways in the crucial era of which the world is now on the threshold.

CContinued on Page 731 PAGE 57 'Blau Under the capable leadership of the president, Kipling Lay- ton, the class of l949 got off to a flying start early in the fall. The first important project of the year was the adoption of the class ring. After a lengthy debate and considerable discussion, the so- called standard ring chosen by the class of '48 was again selected as the official class ring. lt was also decided to abolish the wearing of lunior Class Pins. With the beginning of the new term, plans were immediately formulated for the annual Sweetheart Prom, held traditionally on St. Valentine's Day. Wholehearted cooperation with Bobbie Gene Reid and her committees made our dance one of the best and most colorful of any previously held. The decorations were very effective with red and white balloons mingled with the valentines that profusely decorated the gym. The last contestants that are to be selected by any group at BHS were chosen at the dance. The sweethearts selected were Betty Bonds and Clifton Donaho and their prize was an immense box of candy. T., ln April the annual class picnic Was held at Brackenridge Park where good food, motor-boat riding, and all-around fun were the order of the day. The election of the Senior officers in May climaxed a year of which all juniors are indeed proud. Under the faithful leadership of our sponsors, Miss Christine Lawrence and Miss Elsa Burg, the Iunior Class feels that they have accomplished much this year and are looking forward to a bigger and better year in l949.

Haynes and Mr. W. B. l-ligdon. Soon after the organization of the class, the following officers were elected: Kelley Fling, president, Billy Rowland, vice-president, Elizabeth Schliesing, secretary, Kenneth Finch, treasurer, lanice Wells, re- porter, and La Verne Howard and Sidney Zirkel, sergeants-at-arms. These officers have been busy carry- ing out their respective duties and have done an ex- cellent job of leading the Sophomore Class. When the drive to collect dues was begun, a very good response was obtained, and at midterm the class was increased by 266 trembling and fearful new low sophs. Early in the spring a very entertaining program featuring some of the outstanding talent of the class was presented at one of the regular meetings in the auditorium. In late spring, the annual Sophomore Class picnic was held in Koehler Park. Everyone enjoyed the many activities planned for the occasion which closed a happy and successful year for the Sophomore Class.

They admire these men as outstand- ing in a difficult field. ln baseball men must be fast thinkers and able to act on their decisions. They must be learners, willing to acknowledge their mistakes. Each one must be a leader in his own way, always ready to take his turn at the bat. The purpose of the clubs at Brackenridge is to teach these same qualities and abilities to their members. Through our organizations we learn to work together as a team, to give and take-the fine art of co-operation. Our sponsors, as the team managers in baseball, guide us in our work, not doing our jobs for us, but helping us to do them better. The success of a club, as the success of a ball team, depends on the efforts of each individual member. As providers of wholesome recreation and builders of leaders for tomorrow, caps off to the clubs of Bracken- ridge High! Lucy Ann Kizer 'NW Qu N.

Although lerry Staffel led in sales at the end of the contest, Arthur Wisakowsky, the most bashful of our sales' men, led at the end of the entire campaign.

The Alice Stone Chapter of Quill and Scroll at Brackenridge High School was reorganized in the spring of 1947. Students from Brack- enridge and other high schools in San Antonio were initiated by Ronnie Dugger, president of Quill and Scroll in 1947. The fall term project was a Know Your Library campaign which was discussed at an informal luncheon here at school. A cake sale was held in February with our new members who Were initiated the preceding month be- coming enthusiastic salesmen. After the city wide initiation of new mem- bers in April at Tech High, Quill and Scroll closed its year with the in- stallation of officers for l948-49. l m1ZZcmcZSmall YY 14' s fill 1 5 iff: I 'as ri' A M W ltll1 ll'ljp X mln f IQ i 4 H-S- M , . .

Shakespeare knew that the bands of friend- ship are stronger than steel. Members of Wa Kapa know that friendships formed within our club will last throughout the years. The essence of Wa Kapa is friendship, deriving its name from the Indian name meaning Friendship. Originally called the Library Club, the club was organized some twenty-six years ago by Miss Georgia Armstrong. Under the capable leader- ship oi Miss Louise Allen, the Wa Kapa club has grown tremendously. There is an earnest desire among the members to attend meetings regu- larly and to give their best to the advancement of their club.

Preceding this initiation of new members, the imps carried on their antics in traditional hilarious activities, submitting to laughter and mockery with a good will, for good sportsmanship abounds in the Wa Kapa club. Also following tradition, the club decorated and presented the Christmas tree for the center hall to the school. The annual spring dance shared the spot light of social festivities with the spring picnic. To close the happy, successful year for Wa Kapas is the farewell to seniors. The end of each year brings sadness in a way to each Wa Kapa, but after looking back- ward to the knowledge of friendships enjoyed, they look forward to another year of furthering leadership, co-operation, and the greatest-of all, friendship. PAGE 95 We KWWL imzfwfe Raaiua if f if The occasion..was a sad one, for the senior Wa Kapas were bidding a final farewell to fellow club members. But as the events of previous years were recalled, we found that many a happy moment had taken place in the meetings and socials we all hold dear. Take that favorite rough initiation for instance. l-low we hated getting all smeared with lipstick when we were just Sophs. But wasn't it fun giving others misery the following year? At the candle-light ceremony when we were installed as full-fledged members, the new officers also took their oaths. Looking back, wesremember trimming the Christmas tree for all of the students to enjoy. We also recall those Wa Kapa dances - all successful. To have been able to participate in such a fine organization is indeed an honor, and we, as senior Wa Kapas, will hold the memory of these events close to our hearts. Cll Preview of meeting day.

All through the year in- terest in the Organ Fund was kept alive, and the amount ot money gradually grew, and hopes were raised that perhaps this year or next an organ would be added to the BHS auditorium. There is hard Work attached to every good thing, and chorus is no exception. C43 Mrs. Collins and theory students study what makes music sound the Way it does.

The lU5 piece band attracted state-wide at- tention during football season by its halftime drills with the Purple lackets. These drills were hailed the best high school performances ever staged on a football field by several leading Texas papers. Band seniors reminisce with pleasure the ups and downs of the marching season -lost music and mouthpieces and sour notes in drill practice as well as the satisfaction of performing before record smashing crowds. They remember the pep rallies in the auditorium, in the buses before the games, those held in Austin, Harlingen, and Goose Creek. They remember the banquet in Austin when all sophs ate with a knife and drank with a spoon. They remember the drenching they received in water gun fights on the bus trips. Not to be forgotten are the muddy field and popping fire crackers in Goose Creek. The purple and white aggregation sent a large delegation to the State Band Clinic in Waco. The All-City Band included a large number PAGE 104 if if f if Bam! Collin::, Alvin Shook, LaVonne Hockey, Sara Weimer.

Following custom, the Band met with the Purple lackets for a Christmas party benefiting the orphans. Mr. Irving Dreibrodt was St, Nick. The annual Band Show and Dance of the Century were presented February 28. S500 was added to the treasury. The Band played concerts March l5-l8 at four junior high schools. It participated in the festivities of San lacinto Fiesta Week. Very memorable were the daily rehearsals in preparation for the lnterscholastic League Band Contest held April 2 at San Marcos. Mr. Dreibrodt's constant guidance is largely responsible for the Bands fine showing at San Marcos. Parades, banquets, and picnics conclude the list of ac- tivities of the Band for the school year l947-48. The downbeat of the baton, the sound of the whistle, and the cheerful coaching of Mr. Dreibrodt are a few of the many memories of the seniors who have played that grand ole school song, Brackenridge, for the final time with the Eagle Band.

Clubs have always held an important posi- tion in the activity program of Brackenridge, and for twenty-nine years the Clio Club has offered its members the finest kind of diversion, plus a chance to develop individual leadership abilities. The Clios, organized in 1919 for those interested in the study of history, have climbed to the top in the parade of BHS clubs. lt offers its many members relaxation and recreation both after school and during evening get-to- gethers. The name Clio Was taken from Greek mythology, Clio being the muse of history. The club has prospered under the tutelage of Miss Lena Mae Elliott. High lighting the calendar for the year is the Rose Day celebration and the annual Cerelia. The Rose Day celebration, which honors the teachers of the school, and the Cerelia, or PAGE 106 Pres. .. V.

Election of new members and officers takes place at the beginning of each semester and is preceded by cr friendly rush party to acquaint prospective members with the Clios and vice- Versa. The initiation gatherings take place after the elections and are loads of fun, but they prove rather strenuous for both the new and old members. 1 A Many happy, as Well as useful, hours of service have been dedicated to Brackenridge this year by our club. Graduating members will cherish the memories of the many good times shared with fellow Clios. PAGE 107 C'Zia4fl4eez'14fz'eAz'!aeQ'ame if if if Q4 ' aff hill We come to the end of a successful and fun-filled year for the members of the Clio Club. We started out with the election of our super officers last spring and then launched this school year with election of new members to form the cream of the crop group that helped make our events memorable and colorful. The next item on our calendar of memory was our successful cake sale, followed by our Christmas party. Then came our dance, and of course the Clios always have the best of everything. Remember the Rose Day Tea in honor of the teachers, at which time We presented faculty members with beautiful pink rosebuds? And our Mother and Daughter Banquet held in May? And our meetings - the things we discussed, the friends We made? The pictures recall them to mind. Cli Here We are, all assembled with our banner and our sunniest smiles.

Each Lanier member takes part in this endeavor. This year, excerpts from popular books were given. Leading men were also chosen from the dramatics department. E or instance, there was Terry Estes Cwho nearly stole the show with his rendition of The Talk of the Town. l Richard Reyes, and our Texas troubadors, A.T., Edward Cooper, and Donoho. Another standout was Lee Travis's interpretation of Kiss and Tell. According to worth-while tradi- tion, Mary Louise Schneider presented a record album to the school library forthe benefit of all Brackenridge students. Naturally, besides working for the school's benefit, the Laniers took time for a grand Christmas party when Miss Iames, club sponsor, toasted her club flower leftl, and Pat Reinke served refreshments to president Mary Louise Schneider and members Bobby Fritz, Yvonne Flores, and Maureen Wyatt. The Laniers show balance in their activities, adhering to the saying, All work makes Iack a dull boy.

The aims ot the Lanier Society -to create appreciation for good literature, to encourage its members in their creative work, and to assist the school in worthwhile projects - were again realized by students ot Brackenridge this past year. Not only did all the Laniers have fun tor themselves, but they also enjoyed providing entertainment for the rest of the school. To start the new season oft right, in mid- September the new officers were installed. In October a big cake sale was held downtown with shoppers enjoying the homemade cake. Arrows, or pledges, were initiated as new mem- bers not long atterwcqg at an Arrow Ceremony held at the home of Maureen Wyatt.

At this time the Laniers and their leading men dramatized excerpts from popular books. As a finale the society presented an album of records to the school record library. Various other socials and enjoyable occa- sions marked the spring term, but the final im- portant function of the club was the Farewell Banquet in May for the graduating seniors. Each girl said goodbye to all the pleasures she had enjoyed in the Laniers most reluctantly, and each had many memories of good times to cherish for years ahead.

Com- plete to glamorous models such as Edla lean, Yvonne, and lune Ann, it was enthusiastically received by Brackenridge girls. Though a Ladies Only affair, the football boys, the school's fair-haired children, were sufficiently interested in the new look to crash the 'then session. Going all out for Christmas fun, the Gold Bugs had a party with a Christ- mas tree, gifts, candy, and even Santa himself who Ctop centerl presented gifts to two young guests who were prodded by Mrs. Herndon into being unafraid of St. Nick. Of course, everyone had to get into the act and have their picture taken with Santa, perhaps hoping that he would be good to them on Christmas morning. The Gold Bugs will ever remember the fun of two of their social events, the Christmas party and their highly successful style show, which gave our girls an inside look as to what's new in the world of fashions.

Last year's nymphs were sworn in as new members among colorful decorations of blue and gold, the Modern Diana colors. For the benefit of the new nymphs, the purposes and ideals of promoting good fellowship, foster- ing sportsmanship, and training girls in the proper use of leisure time, for which the club was founded in l933 by Mrs. Concha Wilson and Mrs. lulia Ball, were explained by 'lo Ann High, President. Miss Vivian Agnew was chosen sponsor last year upon the resignation of Mrs. Wilson - and what a lucky team we are to have Miss Agnew playing for us.

Miss Vivian Agnew needed support to the fighting eleven. As the Christmas season drew near, the Dianas upheld their tradition of good fellowship by collecting and giving Christmas toys to needy families in our city. Holiday parties in- cluded the Diana Christmas Dinner given at the colorful La Paloma. Next came one of the most important dances of the year, the Dianacacha. Highlight- ing this big event were Dianas, posing as wait- resses, hat check girls, and giving super enter- tainment on the big floor show. Ending a glorious and happy school year, the Dianas entertained With their spring formal in May when prexy, Io Ann High, announced to a breathless group of Dianas and their dates the President and Vice President for the coming year.

Remember those maddening registration days when we served refreshments to our weary teachers and that coke party to rush all the girls eligible for Diana membership. ill Those new, full-fledged members at our informal initi- ation reminded us of a day two years ago when we were proud new members as those at this one. C23 We remember the gooey hands and fun we had selling yummy cake. Again, one of the more memorable occasions of the year was the Christmas party with an abun- dance of fun and laughter, as well as luscious Mexican food at La Paloma, when we proved there were C3 G 4D so many Dianas you couldn't get them in one picture, and we remember our annual Dianacacho dance all decorated with blue and gold balloons and crepe paper.

Of the many social events, the Halloween Breakfast for the football boys is perhaps the most important. Besides the Breakfast, the Charmes, ignor- ing charm for a day, take to the zoo in the spring for hours of wading, horse-back riding, bi- cycling, and, of course, eating. The annual Christmas Party, Valentine Party, and Farewell Banquet, make the year an enjoyable one for the Charmes. PAGE 129 6!wma4eeclSz'a114 if if if ir Among one of the most outstanding social events of all those given by Brackenridge clubs is the Charme Halloween breakfast honoring our football team. Also honored guests were Mr. Gary, Mr. Cobb, and Miss Moore. The entire day of the breakfast, the boys could be seen wearing miniature dolls made of yarn which were their favors. Unknow- ingly, it was a very deserved breakfast since, as we all know, we are now Brackenridge Eagles, State Champs. One topic of conversation, beside who threw some good blocks in the last game andthe like, was the centerpiece, a tiny gridiron-complete to players and goal posts. Of course on the table were eats good enough to eat. Witness below: Calhoun trying to take the cake, all of it.

This year the activity was supposed to be taken up by the Student Council. Determination, effort, and much plead- ing made it possible for the Stevensons to sponsor the party. Liberal contributions by the student body were used to purchase fruits, nuts, candy, and toys which were packaged by members during their study hall periods. Friday morning the girls were assembled at the Texas Theater to spread Christmas cheer. A group led the children in a few carols. Then the boys and girls themselves showed Santa how Hlingle Bells was meant to be sung. Both members and guests settled back in their seats and prepared for a double feature, a comedy and The Virginian.

As this was also in celebration of Texas Week, each guest was greeted at the door by lunior Historians representing characters of Texas history and was tagged with the name oi a well known Texan, past or present.

To honor the outstanding commercial pupils ot Brackenridge High School -- that is the purpose of the Commercial Honor Society. Sponsored by Miss Lora Goodwin, the society was organized in 1939 to begin a meritorious term of service tor Bl-IS. Students superior in shorthand, bookkeeping, typing, or other commercial subjects quality tor membership. They are required to have tour credits in this field and at least 3 A's to be eligible to join this select group. The twenty-tive girls and two boys who compose the l948 roster met tor the election of officers in February and chose K'Rae Fertsch as president, Kay Frances l-loeneke, treasurer, and Pat Marlin as historian. These teen-age business men and women ot tomorrow endeavored to add to their knowledge ot the business world and learn co-operation by working with each other to make the l948 term one to be remembered. At the annual tea in April, given tor the mothers of the members, certificates ot merit were awarded to those business pupils who excelled in the year's work. Each year Brackenridge students enjoy the roses that past years of the society have presented to the school. One of the aims of the organization is to add to these, thus adding to the beauty ot a great school.

For the first time in several years, there were no lunior members elected to the Bracken- ridge Chapter of the National Honor Society. All were elected as seniors during the spring for the year terminating in May, l948. Candidates were qualified in scholarship, character, leadership in school affairs, and constructive service rendered the school, and were elected by the faculty. One-third of this senior class was eligible in scholarship, but only fifteen percent could be elected. Thus, service, character, and leadership were determin- ing factors in membership. The elaborate and beautifully costumed initiation ceremony, written by the late Mrs. B. L. D. Roselle, who was the sponsor of the National Honor Society, was the highlight of the society's activities. During the ceremony each new member was presented with a neat identification card from the National Society and a handsome certificate bearing the National Honor and Brackenridge seals from the school. The local chapter functions only as an honorary group since its members have a maximum of honor points. The Brackenridge Chapter of the National Honor Society for Secondary Schools had its inception in the year 1924. From eight charter members it has grown to a maximum membership of ninety-one.

Over sixteen hundred members have been inducted into the chapter. This great society has been introduced into all the leading high schools in the United States and her outlying possessions, and there are now over three thousand chapters. The National Honor Society unifies the method of rewarding merit and furnishes a universal means of detecting outstanding students when they enter higher institutions of learning. The Wear- ers of the Honor Society emblem, which is non-transferable, find ready entry into higher creative fields. Today the Society is sponsored by Miss Ieston Dickey, who conducts the initiation service, Miss Edith Brinkman, whose job it is to keep a close check on the grades and eligibility of students for membership, and Mrs. Zora Melton, who is responsible for the initiation programs and also handles the funds of the organization. This great society is continuing to be a shining goal for hundreds of Brackenridge students who someday hope to achieve this honor. As the qualifications for the society are high, so the ideals of the society are equally as high and are a great challenge to today's high school students. It is a significant fact that these students who are elected to this honor become the leaders of tomorrow's world. PAGE 147 l 4 . I 'I 4.

This game cost the Eagles the services of Dick Self, a starting tackle, because of a broken leg. Carry- ing the ball over the double stripe for the Eagles were Anderson, Schleuning, Calhoun, Emmert, and Ecrette, with Schleuning and Emmert each kicking a placement. lourneying to Abilene, the Eagles romped to their second victory, l3-O. Calhoun and Schleuning each made a touchdown behind the fine blocking of the entire Eagle line. Showing aterrific display of power, the birdmqizi frbltn BHS turned back Adamson Hi from Dallas, 13-U.

Trying their best, the Brackenridge Eagles suffered their only defeat of the season at the hands of the Tivy Antlers from Kerrville, l4-13. Sweet and Calhoun made the touch- downs with Schleuning converting the lone extra point. Following a two weeks' rest, the Eagles invaded the hallowed grounds of House Park and upset a favored Austin eleven, 2l-l4. This victory smashed a lU-year-old House Park jinx as the Eagles roared back into the l5-AA title race. Scoring in each the first, third, and fourth periods respectively were Calhoun, Castanon, and Sweet. Other stand- outs were Olive, Perkins, Shaw, and Luce. The fighting Brackenridge squad hung on to a one point lead at the half to defeat an ever powerful Corpus Christi, 7-6. Elashy lack Schleuning slanted off right tackle for the lone Eagle score and kicked the extra point. Eorson, Castanon, Toepperwein, Hofmann, and Sammons paved the way in gaining the hard fought victory. The high flying Eagles crushed the always threatening Tech Buffaloes 26-6, as the Birds gained an impressive 342 yards rushing. Behind the splendid blocking of Bivero, Shaw, and Perkins, Schleuning made three touchdowns with Gary Anderson adding a 4th. The Brackenridge powerhouse tackled the ever dangerous Harlandale Indians, and when the game ended, the Eorehand Flock was on the long end of a 14-6 score. Gene Van Horn provided the winning talley on an intercepted pass after Dick Calhoun had scored in the first period. A near-record crowd of 24,450 fans stood through one of the most thrilling and color- ful games between the Brackenridge Eagles and the lefferson Mustangs. With revenge and a district title on their minds, the Eagle Flock soared into action and defeated the Mustangs in a tough 27-l5 grid fight. Led by Bill Sweet and Dick Calhoun, each scoring 2 touchdowns, the Eagles gained their first district title since l94O. Tackle Charles Shaw and Guard Gerald Olive were particularly outstanding along with the two line backers Calhoun and Danny Perkins. PAGE 150 4mz'Sw'e6Aw17M ff if if f The Eagle forces swarmed into the little valley town of Harlingen to meet the hard- fighting Cardinals. After scoring twice in the first period and again in the fourth, they proceeded to capture the bi-district crown, 2U-6. Making a touchdown each for the feathered flock were Anderson, Sweet, and Schleuning. Losing a second consecutive toss of the coin, the Eorehand Crew was compelled to travel to the swamps of the Cfoose Creek Ganders. Eloundering on the muddy banks of the bayous, the Eagles salvaged the game by two penetrations to one. With Gerald Olive, Ray Luce, Bill Sweet, and Dick Calhoun rising to defensive heights, the Birdmen marched on to become the semi-final champions. Losing the toss, the Longview Lobos invaded Alamo Stadium, the home ot the Brack Eagles, only to be throttled by a score of 20-U. The startled Lobos found their great de- fensive record marred by touchdowns by Anderson, Perkins, and Ecrette. The Eagles scored more points in this game than all of Longview's other opponents during the season. ln winning their first Texas lnterscholastic League championship, the Brackenridge Eagles defeated the Highland Park Scotties from Dallas 22-l3. Overcoming a Scottie half- time lead, the Eagles scored in the first, third, and fourth periods. Sweet led the flock by scoring two touchdowns, with Schleuning taking a pass from Calhoun for another.

The Eaglets were led by Dick Shaw, Chester lordan, and Don Newbury in the backfield and Art Anderson, lohn Lindkvist, Monty Broughton, and Preston LeMeilleur. Coach Paul McCarley, the B team mentor, drilled his boys to razor sharp edge as they continued to Win their next five games. The Eaglets' victory over St. Anthony was considered their highest glory, for this annually strong team had previously defeated the left B team by a wide margin. Traveling to Austin, the Eaglets met their first defeat. After Winning from Alamo Heights and Tech, the B team was turned back by the leff Ponies in the hard-fought battle which was their final game. The greatest glory was still to come for some squad members -they were put on the A team to play in the State Finals.

Tech 32-21 and Tivy 30-27. Next in the path of the Eagles came always strong Lanier, who handed the Brack squad a 31-23 defeat. Traveling to Austin, the Eagles went down under their terrific power 38-32, but the invading Corpus Christi Bucs found they were no match for the determined bird boys as they lost 27-26. The Eorehand flock was unable to defeat the old north side rival as they lost the leff contest 34-18, but they hit their winning stride again by downing the Tech Buffalos 40-21, and by making a last minute rally, they defeated the Antlers from Kerrville 40-35. A fast moving team from Lanier dealt the bird boys a loss, 45-30. Still on the down grade the Brack boys lost a close one to the Maroons from Austin 32-25, and after traveling to Corpus, the Brack five came out on the short end of a 41-33 score. ln the next to the last game the Eagle quintet played their best game of the season, showing surprising accuracy as they defeated the Harlandale Indians 43-22. ln the final meeting of the season, against the already crowned l5AA champions, Iefferson's Mustangs, the Nags were definite favorites over the Brackenridge Eagles. Despite a 12 point half-time lead held by the Mustangs, the stout-hearted Eagles played to a 41-40 victory. This game brought to a smashing close the basketball season for the fighting Eagles.

Bad luck dogged the Zagles' steps as the favored squad from B.H.S. Wound up behind Ieff. PAGE 167 powpfef ofB.e4l..S.f if The Purple Iackets of l947-48 had a wonderful year. Keeping high standards and heaping honor on honor, the organization under the leadership of its sponsor, Mrs. Lord, and Prexy, Melrose Beal, proved itself great once again. The Purple Iackets of the past year performed many of the same duties as P.l.'s of the past, plus some additional ones. Helping out on registration days, ushering at Open House, providing a grand finale for the Purple Parade, marching land yawn- ingl through long hours of early morning practices, keeping in step proudly at parades, and collecting offering at the Easter Sunrise Service at the Municipal Auditorium were some of the ways in which P.I.'s served others as well as enjoying themselves. Perhaps more than at any other time in the past, these Purple Iackets had fun all year. They generated great quantities of yelling power at the Sing-Song, exhibited boundless school spirit at football games and pep rallies, and played with pull-toys for the orphans at the annual Christmas Party with the Band. They honored the great Brack team at the Football Banquet, went western with old P.l.'s at the Bound-up, made the gym re-echo their songs and yells during basketball season, and had fun with the players at the basketball picnic. Last, of course, they attended the Purple lacket Farewell Banquet and Dance in May. ln addition to all of these traditional activities, the past year gave P.I.'s an extra amount of honor, glory, and enjoyment. They had six victory marches during the foot- ball season when the Eagles downed their toughest and most important opposition. They won statewide recognition for their half-time performances such as the circus drill, the gun and deer, the Indian pow-wow, the Freedom Train on Turkey Day, and the Highland fling. They helped sponsor a Victory dance when the football team beat Ieff to become District Champs, and they proved themselves good at out of town games in Austin, Harlingen, and Goose Creek Cmud and alllb. Best of all, they had a big part in the crowning of the State Champion Eagle football team. No Purple Iacket will ever forget the pep rallies with their standing ovations for that team, nor will they forget the pride and thrill of marching across the green clipped grass of Alamo Stadium before record-breaking crowds of applauding fans. lf there were extra tears and sighs and thoughtful faces at the Farewell Banquet, there was good reason, for never had the Purple Iackets said goodbye to such a suc- cessful season. ln the heart of every P.I. graduating this year, there will always be wonderful memories of a glorious year of honor for Brackenridge High School and happiness for Purple Iackets.

As the feeling of unity displayed on the field of play is in- tensified by the smart uniforms and disciplined actions of the Park Police, in like manner, the R.O.T.C. through its inspiring and spirited activities beckons the Way to better citizenship through unity, security, and strength. At the local exhibitions of skill, such as the Eagle-Mustang game, you will find the R.O.T.C. on duty from the bleachers to the ,box seats, working hard and steadily to reduce all disturb- ances and irregularities to a minimum. These park police take their orders from the experienced old timers in their group who convey their knowledge to the rookie cops and regulars. Perhaps the most impressive ceremony of the season is Federal Inspection, when the chief inspects his force. Bands play and crowds cheer as the ranks pass by in full uniform proving their proficiency at discipline and drill. After today's team has moved on to higher honors, these cadets will be prepared to secure, lead, and protect the greatest game in the World- Democracy.

The cadets are taught army organization, map reading, first aid, battle tactics, Weapons maintenance, leadership, drill hygiene, and marksmanship during their three years service in this unit. They re- ceive regular high school credit for the course, and the knowledge they have gained at the end of the junior course is equivalent to that of a non-commissioned officer in the regular army. The head of the ROTC this year Was Capt. Sidney A. McDonald who was assisted by Sgts. Sinclair and Pfeffer. Under their competent leadership the cadets progressed rapidly in their training, displaying physical and mental alertness that will make them a valued asset to this nation. PAGE 180 fffff fficea4GZuA From among the cadets, outstanding in every respect, the officers of the Brack- enridge Reserve Officers' Training Corps are selected. Their requirements include character and leadership, as Well as scholarship. Only those outstanding cadets who obtain the honored position of a commissioned officer are eligible for member- ship in this exclusive club. The purpose of this club is to make evident to these officers the possibilities of the social aspects of the cadet corps. Among the activities of this club are drills, competitive sports, and physical development. Yet, with all of these fine social and physical opportunities, this club has an even higher aim, that of promoting better understanding and a feeling of brotherhood among the cadets in the corps and thus leading to a better and more efficient regiment.

The purpose of this organization is the training of its members in precise and difficult drill operations. This group of cadets staged various demon- strations, such as the field day competitive drill with Tech and the half-time entertainment at the football games of major importance. ' ' This unit became masters of the Queen Anne manual of arms, the Marine drill, silent manuals, and many other drills which well proved its unusual skill.

He has made a home run. He sits down to rest while another man goes to bat. Similarly, all high school students need a break in the game of school life. They take time to see football games and basketball games, and attend dances and parties. Clubwork and other extra-curricular activities are included in their sched- ules. They know that to be a dull boy -the result of all Work -is to be socially out. They know, too, that there are certain rules concerning fairness in both work and play. A person must be friendly, cheerful, and polite to all, diligent and.persistent in his work. If a student does not obey these rules, the umpires-his teachers- may call a foul -an F -each of which is one strike against himl Glory and fame come to the man with the best batting average -the man who is at home in many societies, who can play any position with some degree of efficiency and one position expertly, who is a good sport in all his activities.

Our many assemblies not only bring to Brackenridge a varied schedule oi interesting speakers but also give many students a chance to exercise their talents. They are not professionals, but the talent seen in many of these skits would do justice to a Broadway show. Miss Dickey is to be congratulated on the high caliber of production, and praise should be heaped upon Teach Davis for her supervision of the sound equipment.

PAGE 188 rrp' '.-Shaaedaabx One of the first of many successful assemblies of the school year Was La Retarna's hilarious skit to open the sale of the book. It Was different, to say the least, and no one had more fun than did the performing amateurs of La Retama's staff as they practiced for their dramatic endeavor. Our only regret is that the yearbook sponsor, Mrs. Tietze, could not be the heroine as she so ably Was in many of our practices. Even at this date, months later, you hear people singing the La Retarnau song, as it's now known. ill In the opening scenes villain Vernon is frustrated in his attempts to persuade heroine Geraldine not to buy an annual by hero Arlen, who was complete to broad shoulders fcourtesy of Sports Editor lack Schleuningl and a manly chest, but l2l some Time Cljoyerl drags By CMadelinel until Geraldine is persuaded by C39 the tuneful efforts of our trio of loyce Ann, Gerry, and K'Rae to buy that annual-by jimineyl Finally, C-4D hero Arlen enters with his manly chest as narrator Lucy Ann, almost a show in herself, brings the tale to a They lived happily ever after close, and H53 the moon CMelroseJ peacefully sinks behind the horizon.

This representative group of carefree Purple jackets take refuge from their books and studies, and pose on a Borden's Milk truck as they arrive at the recently finished Mission Baseball Park to give it the once-over, as they will probably be spending many of their leisure hours here this summer. As the ball park was not completed until the close of the season last year, the new look it has put on will attract even larger numbers of fans than in previous years. This ball park was designed and built for the comfort and en- joyment of young and old alike. After their tour through Mission Ball Park, these P.I's will make a bee line back to the Borden's truck for some cooling refreshments-such as creamy Borden's ice cream, or white, foaming Borden's milk, or ice cold Borden's orange juice or chocolate milk. These P. j's will then join with Elsie, the Borden Cow, in saying, lf it's Borden's, it's got to be good! So why don't you journey out to the Mission Base- ball Park this summer and spend a few pleasant hours in relaxation while watching the Missions play a magnificent game of ball and enjoying some refreshing product made by Borden's?
