DENNIS ULLRICH Editor-in-Chief Theme We, the students and faculty of Brackenridge Hi h School, have been blessed with another happy and prosperous year. The year of 1960 has proven very fruitful for everyone who has had a part of our beloved Alma Mater. As we pause to remember the past school year and the joy of the times we have spent at Brackenridge, our minds are crowded with many happy thoughts. To help preserve these thoughts for years to come, the La Retama has en- deavored to capture the joys, the sorrows - the memories of life at Brackenridge High School. Each letter in the word memories expresses a distinct era as we link together our school days. Meek and impressed with the massiveness of Brack were the sophomores as they experienced the first days of high school with timidness and humility. Encouraging messages expressed at the Orientation Assembly to Welcome the newcomers were erhaps an im ortant stepping-stone to aid self-confidence. Matchlless to none was the pride and happiness of the junior while greeting his friends with out- stretched arm, displaying his bright senior ring. Overwhelmed by the enchantment of romantic music, attractive decorations, and silhouettes shadowed on the wall, all are thrilled by a formal dance. Receivingl a cherished honor and conquering a hard subject elp to capture the feeling of belonging. Inspired by the cheering multitudes of spirited Eagles, the varsity teams proudly represent their school, whether the contests are won or lost. Each faculty member is remembered by a particular feature. It ma have been merely an encouraging word, a friendly nod, or perhaps just the thought that they were willing to assist whenever needed. Sadness fills the hearts of seniors as they rea- lize their high school days have finally come to an end, yet there is the joy of knowing that they can face everything that lies ahead with a smile, for memories of Brackenridge cannot be forgotten. As each event forms a link in our chain of high school memories, so each studlent is a link in the golden chain which makes up the memories of B.H.S. With a tinge of sorrow as we know the school year ends, the 1960 La Retama Staff pre- sents its forty-first edition to complete - your GOLDEN CHAIN OF MEMORIES.
