If anything has been left out of these pages, such has not been our intention. The beast of burden have no thought for the future nor reflections from the past. It is man alone that cherishes the memory of his own youth, the days and years of growth and plans and dreams. It is to satisfy this human attribute that the volume before you has been prepared. If in the future this Trail is a reminder of the friendship and associa- tions, or the good old days in Camp San Saba School, and if it adds tone to a busy life and real enjoyment in times of reminiscence, if you find it a source of inspiration and pleasure, the labor entailed in its compilation will be 'for- gotten.

' The wealth of Texas isn't silver or gold, Or the diamonds or ruhies its eaverns may hold 5 Or the trees in its woods, or the power in its poolsg The wealth of Texas is today in its schools, For nothing has value which lies in our hen, Without the high thinking of women and men. When you have added the dollars and measured the ore, Take stock of the children that play at the door, For the wealth of Texas which on paper you pen, I s as dirt hy your feet without God-fearin g men, And the strength of our state lies not in its guns, But deep in the minds of our daughters and sons.

At this happy place many of those who journey toward the Land of Manhood ,and Womanhood tarry a while. Kind are the Keepers of the Fountain. Faithful, true, and Wise men and Women from beyond the border, they give drink to all who ask, and point them to the source. They prepare the youths and maidens who abide with them for their travels in the Land of Manhood and Womanhood, and show them that there the white lilies, that all are seeking, bloom fairest along the Paths of Faith and Loving Kindness. Friendship for the Keepers grows strong in the hearts of those who tarry until the flowers of love and gratitude spring up to bloom by the Fountain. Long after the Learners are gone, their thoughts go back to those who were their truest friends, and ever as the years go by, the flower of grati-- tude blossoms more freely. For none who pass that way ever forget the Fountain or its Keepers.

Green trees, grass, and small streams made beautiful and picturesque scenery. After several hours of exploring caves, crevices and highest pla- ces, the adventurers returned to camp to enjoy a campfire dinner which consisted of devil horses roasted over the fire and many other delicious eatables. The Senior Banquet is to be April 12. The girls are making prepara- tions for a grand time. Some of them know who the 'flucky boys will be, yet there is quite a bit of discussion among the fairer seX of the Senior Class as to their dates VVhen the Seniors are not busy in the rooms of the old Alma Mater, they are out doing club Work, going to parties, or co-operating with the old- er leaders of the community in religious or civic activities.

How the hot tears start, and my harrowed heart Is pierced with poignant pang, As I backward gaze on my boyhood days, And I dream of the old school gang. There were John and me, and Henry and J. T. Percy, D. B. and Mill. A boy named Dick that I wanted to lick- I'm longin' to lick him still! Oh, the pranks we played, and the plots we laid, In our new-discovered slang! And the time we smoked till we coughed and choked In the cave of the old school gang. In the cave at night where, pale with fright, Vlfe planned under pirate sails, That we'd drop our dead till the waves ran red- For dead men tell no tales! Yet the tales we told while our blood ran cold, And the artless songs we sang! And the bamboo poles by the fishin' holes Where I sat with the old school gang! Could my eyes behold, and my arms enfold Those childhood chums of mine, I would give my all and call it small, As pay for such joy divineg But those chums have flowng so I muse alone Where IVIem'ry's portraits hangg And I'd sell my soul if my lips could roll A call to the old school gang! -A.

PVlzi1fe Chrysanthemum THE SUN OF THE TERONCHU When I was the son of a broncho- A broncho proved and tried, I ran on the wild, free ranges, Like the son of my motheris pride. I cropped the grass on the ranch land- The grass so rich and so sweet, And I stamped on the head of a rattler With the quivering dance of my feet. Tho' I was the son of a broncho- A bronc-with a wise little head, I fell, bound by the rope of the cowboy, So swiftly and deftly it sped. I felt the cool earth of the prairie Slide the full length of my flank. My hoofs deeply plowed a wide furrow, And my head on the chaparral sank. For I was the son of a broncho- A broncho as free as a bird, So I tried to toss off my rider, And he pulled up my head and spurred- I twisted and stood on my haunches But still the man on my back Kept firmly his seat on the saddle, while I kicked and leaped from the track. Yes, I am the son of a broncho- A broncho, the servant of man, And,he that I serve is the stronger, As strong as the great uGod Panfi Now, as my master I carry. And the hard, beaten trails I run, I dream of the herd of my father, Free in the ranch-land sun. f K K 1 XX V Lk. ,, If kt K Y 'X -2 Xx N ,Q X '-. N . ,WH F. 1 W - , -NX , X W K ff 'X 'X f' 1 .

We celebrates with round-ups now thar ain't no more Frontier Hisfoiq Out gclzool The Camp San Saba School, like the town of Camp San Saba, is one of the historic institutions of this section. This school had been in existence sixteen years before the county of McCulloch was organized in 1876. It was the first school established in this section and has been in continuous oper- ation ever since the fall of 1860, when the first school term opened. Camp San Saba School is celebrating its golden Jubilee this year. The 75th year of education in this community will be completed when the present class graduates this Spring. No records have been preserved. The names of the first teachers and pupils unfortunately are not available. But the school stands as a monument to the high ideas of these first settlers who, amidst the most severe hardships and dangers, provided an education for their children. The first schoolhouse was erected in the summer or fall of 1860. Seven or eight children attend- ed during the first term fabout three monthsj while their daddies stood guard on the outside against the constant danger of an Indian attack. At least one man armed with a gun, each morning accom- panied the children on their way to school, remained on sentinel duty during the day, and guarded them again on their way home. The first school was a log building, chinked in with mud, and erected over a puncheon floor. The benches and tables were hewn out of logs. One door and a window on the South side were the only openings. Cedar shingles, the only material not fashioned of native wood, were imported by Wagon from San Antonio. A Miss Moss and a Miss Allen are listed among the earliest teachers who used this primitive hut as a classroom. ' ' The Hlittle log schoolhousev was replaced in 1875, after fifteen years of service, by a more sub- stantial rock structure, about 10x14 feet, and containing a front and back door and one window high up in the wall to -keep the Indians from crawling in or, perhaps, to keep the pupils from crawling out. This building stood on the site of the present Baptist Church. Its equipment was practically as primitive as that of the first school. J. Warren Hunter, celebrated pioneer of the Hill country, taught here in 1882 and 1883 and is remembered as a very efficient schoolmaster. The third school, a plank building, was erected in 1887, most likely to provide more room for the ever increasing number of pupils. Many of the present citizens of this community received their education in this building. The enrollment for a number of years totaled a hundred pupils. There was no more danger from the Indians and the virgin lands of this section constantly attracted new settlers. The present school, a modern cement and stucco edifice, was built in 1924. It is equipped with up-to-date furniture and educational facilities. Three teachers, Principal A. H. Floyd, Mrs. Floyd and Miss Jewel Lawson conduct a ten-grade school, which ranks among the best in McCulloch county. About fifty children attend the school. Shortly before the war between the North and South. General Robert E. Lee, then a captain in the United States Army, inspected the military camps here. He was accompanied by Albert Sidney John- son and General McCulloch, both well remembered heroes of the Southern Army. Very few settlers lived in the Camp San Saba community prior to the Civil War. In the early part of the Civil War companies of state troops, known variously as rangers, Mounted Volunteers, etc., were organized all over the state. One or more of these companies had a camp on the San'Saba River, about a mile southeast of the Hardee Crossing, established in 1856. They were quartered in log cabins and a few tents. These state troopers were placed here to guard this section against' the Indians. This military protection induced new settlers to come in, and the population of Camp San Saba soon grew into substantial numbers. It was from this camp of 6'Rangers on the San Saba River that Camp San Saba derived its name. -CARL A. BLASIG. f A -, .

' IHINIE ZAMIQTFS 'lllltlllllfi lFlIlNlE IAMIQTS IFDIFEIPAIIQTMIINENT Under the direction of Mrs. Floyd and Miss Lawson the High School has pre- sented two plays, namely, The Hoodooed Coon and 'lighthouse Nanf, Both of lhese plays met with a good response from the audiences before which they were played. In the fall of 1933 a piano was secured for the school, which has added much to the interest of music among the pupils. Mrs. Ed Williams, whose home is in Camp San Saba, has had a large .piano class this year. A piano concert directed by Miss Pinkie Jones of Brady and musical selections by Mr. Lester Freeman of Eden, Texas, were some of the past attractions at the local school. When school started, the common question heard about the campus was, Won- der wholll 'lead our songs and yells?,' Miss Ethel May Leifeste was elected to fill this place and has co-operated as a leader at all times, doing her part in developing pep in the school. The Public Speaking Department was a success throughout the year. With only five pupils in this phase of the fine arts, the school won two first places and one second in Declamation at the County lnterscholastic League Meet. The student body was delightfully entertained a number of times by this group. .f. T. Mu-ix:-.s-'-.mf 4 V .. IBIIQAIIDY lltlllllllltllltlll S1IUlHIlliDlIDlIL D. A.

The girls could have ugone placesv but declined to make the game anything but intramural. Virginia, Elizabeth, and Ethel May were the shining lights in this sport. If you happened to be walking by the school last winter and noticed a number of the high school girls with bandages on their Shins, you must have wondered why. They had been playing 4'Shin-upf' Volley ball and basket ball has its good points but these girls like real action. Shin-upi' is similar to football, the main difference being that the ball must be kicked and not touched by the hands unless caught in the air. Usually teammates or opponents' shins received most of the kicking. Berta Sue could really carry the pigskin while Mary Elder and Estelle ran interference. In the Spring when a young manls fancy turns to love and baseball becomes the popular sport, the sound of crashing bats as well as broken hearts could be heard about the campus as the co-eds banged away at the nationls favorite pastime, base- ball. Josephine, a star of last yearls 4'Tenderfoot', team, won a place among such players as Berta Sue, Vivian, and Earlene. Swimming and horseback riding have their places in the lives of these girls. 1B1AXSliElB1AMIL14L 'UID IIUNUIFSY GUIVHIIA IW IIPIII 'ID N S lBASlIElBAlILllL The Spring of 1935 will always be remembered as our greatest year in baseball. We thought we had a fast club in '34 when Percy Appleton let the Mason county champions down in an easy game, 16 to 6. We believed the club could hit when R. V. Turner led a rally at Katemcy which netted 414 scores and John Morgeson, assisted by Capt. A. J. Leifeste, helped gather 29 runs from the Brady Ward Champs to win with a 26 run lead. lt took only one big inning for D. B. Williams, Junior Turner, and Vaughn Pate to chase the Melvin Pups back to the west end of the coun- ty leaving the winnings in the sack for Camp San Saba. At the beginning of school last year we enrolled two of our former players, R. E. and Harlon Blount! who gave us the punch that we had been needing to win championships. During the earlier part of the season the boys on the banks of the San Saba left the uchannel cat alone long enough to win a few scattering games and get in readiness for the finals. They won the Rural Championship by taking the big end of a two-game series. Then came the most hotly contested battle since Napoleon struck out at Waterloo. South Ward of Brady who had previously won the Ward and Junior High School divisions came to Camp San Saba March 19, seeking more crowns. And what a team they had! Led by the brilliant pitching of Byron Brock, the South Warders got off to a 6 to 1 lead and managed to hold it until the first of the seventh inning when the Rural Champs tied the score 6 and 6. J. T. Turner who had pitched good ball from the first of the game, gave the Ward boys nothing while the first of the eighth let the Champs have two runs. As Brock and his fighting Bulldogs could score only one run on their last go-round the hardest fought ball game in the history of McCulloch county was won by Camp San Saba who received the All-round Championship Cup and the distinction of not having lost a game in two years. V THQZAMUIK A I TURNER W ILLIAMS A PPLETON LEIFESTE This year,s ,lunior Track Team 'uproinisecl less and gave moren than any team ever before in the history of the school.

B. Williams, high point man in the countyg Percy Appleton, A. J. Leifeste and R. V. Turner won the Junior Division from a number of schools where the competi- tion was hard and fast. Sidney Parker, the only Senior track entry. put up a wonderful exhibition in the Rural Pentathlon, winning 24 points out of a possible 25. Sidney Won his letter in football two years ago while a pupil at Brady Central Ward. He is considered by some as the best prospect Brady High has coming up from the rural schools next yC3I'.
