P.T.A. Sponsors Open House The Brackenridge P.T.A. has completed another year of worthwhile work. The year began with the election of officers and the annual campaign to get more members into their worthy organization. They sponsored a delicious Mexican supper early in December durin the annual open house night. The wonderful Aloha Prom for all the graduating seniors was also sponsored by the P.T.A. bringing the year to a close. For many years the P.T.A. has strived to bring the home and school closer together. They work diligently trying to promote a better understanding between the student, the teacher, and the family. Whenever they can be of service to the school in any way they are always willing to help as much as possible. The work of the P.T.A. is done for the benefit of all Bracken- ridge studentsg therefore we should give them all our support and urge our parents to join the Association at the beginning of each school year. If the parents will support the P.T.A. our school will benefit greatly. Th MRS. A. MUGUERZA President e P.T.A. serves refreshments fo the Faculty after n meeting President .... . . . Mrs. A.

Many students were introduced to a fascinating and unfamiliar world for the first time this year through the study of Russian. Although it is still regarded as unusual in the West, the importance of the language cannot be overestimated. Students should take advantage of this course at Bracken- ridgeg it is the first high school Russian course offered in Texas. Spanish is, by far, one of the most beautiful and romantic languages of the world. It is spoken so extensively in the VVestern Hemisphere and in so many other areas of the world that students should not fail to absorb as much knowledge of it as possible. Brackenridge offers Spanish I, II, III, and IV for students who are interested. The choral department offers hours of pleasure for the musical students at Brackenridge. It is composed of a mixed choir, a girl's choir, and a special choir for beginning students. The mem- bers are given an opportunity to enter state con- tests and to compete with other students. Miss Cl1aml:erlain's most enioyable pastime is playing the organ. I wondgr what Mr, Albright wqnfg tg ull ug in Russian?

Workers Feed And Six of our cafeteria helpers from left to right: Goodwill, McCoy, Wallace, Ressman, Jackson, and Miller. Five of our cafeteria helpers from left lo right: Bates, Keeling, Wal- laclze, Hare, and Warren. MRS. NELMA MILLER Cafeteria Manager Satisfying the tastes of everyone in a large school is not an easy task, but through the ef- forts of the cafeteria workers, the Brackenridge students and faculty were able to purchase tasty and nutritious lunches. Each day they worked for hours preparing a variety of appetizing and nour- ishing hot foods. They also re ared delicious hamburgers, barbecue buns, anal: osner sandwiches for those preferring cold lunches. In the morning before school, students and faculty could buy coffee, cocoa, toast, and warm pies. This year the upstairs cafeteria was reopened and students were permitted to purchase and eat candies, pies, sandwiches, potato chips, and cold drinks there. The upstairs cafeteria helped relieve some of the congestion in the downstairs cafeteria and lines moved much faster.
