'28, Philasopherlf Club '28. Don't you just admire Adeline's flowing, al- most long hair and her sweet smile? Who wouldn 't? Adeline has not yet enlightened us as to whom she prefers, so we'll make a guess: All of them! No one boy has a monopoly. MATTHEW ALESSANDRA La Tolteea '28. Recognize the sheik with the black, wavy hair? Doesn't it surprise you to see such a sheik so quiet? Maybe he isn't interested in anyone at school. We hope lf,S not that way. CLYDIE ARMSTRONG La Tolteea 727-,28. Clydie's pretty and more fun than a little bit, but she appears to be as calm and reserved as a church-mouse. If she doesn't get too seriously in- terested in baseball players maybe she'll be a great movie actress, but things look serious. Assam BACARISSE il V Le Cerele Franeaix ,27,' Glee Club '26,' Track '26- '27-'28,' Ant. Senior Yell Leader '27-'28,' Hi-Y '26. Abie is one of the fastest sheiks at schoolg that is, he's fast on the track. He's not any too slow otherwise, either. We have several thoughts which make us think we're right, but we won't embarass Abie by telling them! IDA BAILEY Ida is one of our lightweight Ha persg rolled stockings and everything! Wonder why Ida is al- ways smiling. We think there's a reason for lda's going to school, other than just to be educated. Are we correct, Ida? i all 5 l r 1. l ri i lj l l l V l l 5 i x 1 i l . id l s 4 4 i l i, -K ,Q . Mg , 1 2?

But her disposition has already made many friends for her. Her favorite study seems to be algebrag she is seen studying it all the time! ALVIN BANks Please show us one teacher of whom Alvin is afraid. We admire Alvin for his grit, but we hope he doesn't get in trouble. He is a good fellow, after all is said and done. DOROTHY BAkT'rl.1NGck To call Dorothy sweet is no exaggerationg she's just exactly that. Even though she's not as noisy as the rest of us, she makes plenty of friends and she's a real friend to them in return. ALFRED BAUHOF Le Cerrle Francais' '27. Alfred is a ladies' man. Breaking hearts is his hobbyg when he smiles on them they all fall! Al- though Alfred finished at midterm, he makes us all laugh and forget our troubles by paying us a visit every now and then! EDWARD BLACKMAN The 'fbig brute with that ever-pleasing smile is Ed. That beautiful, wavy hair of his is probably the reason for his popularity Cwe hope we're not mistaken! with the girls! May your muscles grow larger every day, Ed! TOMMYE BLANCHETTE Red Coalx '28, Who said freckles weren't becoming? We think Tommye's are as cute as can be. She's always hap- py, sincere, and studious and as friendly as can be. Tommye, by the Way, is one of the fairer sexg in case these names confuse you. l l J l. ri r ,, ,,, .M ,.:.l...,.....-...,.......1p y. p bl ig, A, 1 V!

A smart dresser and a brunetteg that's our Alice. That's probably one reason she's so popular. We think, however, that her interest centers on one certain football player. Well, we like Percy, too! Dokoruv Btoci-mx Red Coal.: '28,' Sal: Wah '27,' Bull Frog: '28. The name of Dorothy suggests to us everything that's sweet and refined. Dorothy is another of our mermaids-she surely likes to swim. Although she's rather quiet, she has many friends, and they all admire that quality. HERMAN BLUME Aint love grand- well, Herman ought to know. It seems to have hit him awfully hardg no wonder he can't be bothered by such little and trivial things as lessons and grades so long as Eva- lyn is in sight! But then everyone loves a lover. MARY B1i.1.1xosi.sY Red Conn '28, X Mary came to Heights a year ago from South End. Her pretty blue eyes and fun loving ways have made us all like her. She keeps her interest in the Post-Dispatch art department, nevertheless. PAULINE Bloos Girl Refer-:ies '26-,27-l28, Sec. '26, Treat. ,27,' Red Coal: '28. Pauline is one of those abxolufe Heights rooters She attends all football games, and she can yell, too! Her favorite club is the Girl Reserves, and she's surely been na good one. She's always depen- dable and stays right in there. IRENE Boa Legio Latina '26,' Red Caals, '27-'2X,' Le Cercle Franmis '27-l28. Another one of these red-headed girlsg you can't tell about them. Irene is studious enough in school, but she might change when she gets out- side. Her pretty hair and complexion are the envy of many girls around school. l ....

What better combina- tion could you want? Alton has a very pleasing disposition, even if he is rather quiet. LILLIAN CHEVES Why is it that Lillian goes to the Majestic every Friday? Is there some particular attraction there? We hear her ambition is to have a beauty shop, Well she's cute enough to start one. And don't think that she doesn't have pretty clothes. JACK CHRISTIAN La Toltem '26. Did you know that Jack really studies when he wants to? The only trouble is that he so seldom wants to! Jack is a very agreeable youn man and we all like him, but like most he-men he doesn't shave often enough. ROBERT CLARKE L Glee Club ,28. ' Unless you've heard Robert lay, you can't realize his music ability, and, by tlie way, he plays the drum! Should you notice Robert's paleness some morning, don't think he is illg he just shaved that morning and said paleness is caused by pow- der. WALKER COLLIER Of all our blond boys, we think Walker is the uietest, even so, he's no baby-he's just passed ghat silly, childhood age! Quiet people are smarter than you think, and usually come out on topg we expect to see Walker emerge soon. GUSSIE CONWAY Red Coal: '28, Do not be mistakeng Gussie is a girl, and a very charming one at that. We think we are correct in saying that Gussie IS not boy crazy-well, not quite, anyway, Still you never can tell about these girls with boyish names! J LILLIE CONNVAY Glee Club '27. Lillie is one of the few girls who like boys, we can tell by the glint in her eye' We're glad of thatg she won't have to be an old maid. Stay right in there till you get him, Lillie, but don't exactly waste your time! NAOM1 CONWAY Red Conn '28. Naomi is one of our students who has a very quiet nature, but even so, her grades are those that any student would be proud o . Don't be conserva- tive too long, though, Naomig or someone may beat your time! GEORGE Cook There's a rumor out that George receives thirty page letters from a young lady in Galveston, but we don't knowg George doesn,t look like that kind of a boy! In spite of this, George is a good student, and never irritates the teachers CFD MERLE COPELAND You have to know Merle to Find out how good- natured she is. She might appear rather quiet at school, but we hear she isn't that way outsilee- why, she turns to a flapper and even dances! She's a good swimmer too CD ARTHUR CUNNINGHAM Legio Latina '28. Arthur's grown up, if you don't believe it, you ought to hear him talk-such a deep voice. De- bating seems to be his favorite s nrt, he's one of the few shieks in the fifth periodfhigh four English class! Mvxvrne CURRY Le Cerrle Franrai: ,27. Myrtle's chief enjoyment seems to be talking and having a good time. She never worries-least of all about her lessons! Myrtle is lots of fung she can lower her dignity to be even silly sometimes: but she's another girl who chooses boys out of school. l FRANCIS CUTTING Red Coal: '28,' Glee Club l27,' Writing Club '26, The girl with the southern drawll' might be Francis' nickname. She says her ambition is to be Il play director and elocution teacherg maybe that's w y she's developing that speech! She has a sweet disposition and sunny smile that We all admire and like. BYRON DARBY Lf ' Buxleelball '28. Did you ever see Byron shoot goals? He's really good. Are you as good with the girls, Byron? That is, are you as popular with them? We think so. ROBERT DAVIS Yip has finally fallen-and howl That prob- ably accounts for his attempts at writing poetry. Inspiration is necessary to write a poem, and We know who his inspiration is! Because he's a good friend, student, and so forth, all of us like him. MAR'FHA DE LEON Martha always smiles at everyone so sweetly, no wonder she makes friends so readily. We heard that her favorite subject is American History, but we donlt quite believe it, somehow. REGINA DE Pomoizsiu Red Coats '28. ' Regina just naturally studies, she must, just look at her excellent grades. Besides that she pre- fers a young man not even connected with Hites. Shame on you, Regina-why don't you give some one at our school a chance? ELIZABETH DEU'FSCH Ser. Sah Wah ,27,' Capt. Bull Frogs '28, Red Coal.: '28,' Basketball '28,' Glee Club '28, Swimming Team '28. just because Lizzie was on the girls' basketball team didn't make boys' basketball come second, maybe' And look whose sweater she wears! Besides being an athlete, she's a twin to boot. How we'll miss our Rosie and Lizzie when they're gone. ..2i'rQ. I 1 x TK V! Rosa DEUTSCH Treas. Sah Wah l27,' Treas. Bull Progs '28,' Capt. Basleelball ,285 Red Coals '28,' Glee Club '28,' Swim- ming Team '28. Rosie, captain of the first girls' basketball team Heights ever had, thinks boys' basketball has its attractions too. Rosie thinks Gype is such a Mcute little boy.'l VVe all know Rosie is a great Weather prophet-she can even tell when it's going to rain. LEs1.1E DIcKsoN Legio Latina '26. ,Gee, it must be terrible to be so popularg the glrlsjust won't leave Leslie alone! Don'tfyou think 'fTeen1e is a cute nickname? In spite o it all, We find that Leslie is a capable student. HELEN DONOVAN Associate Editor Pennanl '28,' Red Coats '27-'28, Pres. '28,' Sah Wah l27,' Bull Frogs ,28,' Basketball '28,' Orcheslra y27,' Legio Lalina ,27. Helen came to Heights from Indiana, two years ago! We think she's one of the most capable girls at Heights. Besides being Red Coat president, she's one of the most athletic-as well as lots of other things too numerous to mention! FRED DUANE Legio Latina H27-'28,' La Tolteea '27. We think that one of Fred's greatestldesires is to be a second Rudy Valentino. He certainly looks the part. Fred is another one of our Would ben mustache growersg but not much luck, eh, Freddy? EVELYN DUDLEY Red Coal: '28. Evelyn is another rather quiet and studious girlg her ambition is to be a private secretary, and we know she'll make a good one. Between school, church, and B.Y.P.U. Evelyn is always doing something. HALLINE DUNAWAY Legio Lalina '27-'28. Who said Halline had a baby face? Wrongg it's a face that shows determination, understand- ing, and good humor. Ifshe does not like the name baby face,', she's certainly able to take up for herself. --------f'--------:.::--'-e---- A., 1fL1.Y:',e...-f...--. .5 . .....,,,. .,. M.- L... VIRGIE FANETT Lo Tolteco '2 7. Virgie is another ofour distinctive red-headed girls. Her sincerity, quiet ways, and love CFD .for math, especially geometry, are her outstanding characteristics. But don't believe the lastll JOSEPHINE FASTENRATH Red Coals ,27j La Tollefo ,28. Who's that good dancer doing her stuff on the floor? Why boys, thatls Josephine, and does she know how to dance-we'll say she does! Her small size doesnlt compare with her ambition and energy, she's got lots of both. CARMEN FITZGERALD Red Coon '28, Sec. Senior Clue: '28,' Ser. Yunior Claus ,27,' Viee Prex. Sal: Wah l27,' Bull Frogr '28, Baxketball '28. Carmen is everybody's friend, and everybody's her friendg maybe that's why she's so opular. We've heard shels positively spoken for, Ent that doesn't hurt. She's so strong that for awhile she wore a basketball around her neck on a ribbon! 1 . HAROLD FITZGERALD f' Foolball '26- l27,' Sport Editor Pennant '28. Fitz blew in from Anson two years ago, and has been storming ever since. He never seems to run out of breath, either on or OH the football Held. Harold deserves all of his popularity, but girls haven't a chance, everybody's heard of Fitz's Ethel! - LoU1sE FORREST Legio Latina '28,' Plzilo.roplzer'.r Club '28, Mer- curiux Stof '28,' Tennis Club '28. Louise has only attended Heights this one year, but her sense of humor and interest in school ac- tivities make us feel as ifshe had been with us all the time. Her highest ambition is to be an Amer- ican History teacher! CLARA BELLE FRANKS Clara Belle is more interested in C. L. Bering's athletic teams than in school. Yes, there's a reason! Rumor has it that Clara Belle has a permanent 'ob awaiting her soon after she leaves high school, but we don't know. l l M I'R'r1.E Fuci-is just how much does Myrtle like H Dutchman? Take it or leave it. Myrtle always has a ready smile for everyoneg that's probably the reason for her having so many friends. VIRGINIA FUNKE Legio Lfzlina '28,' Red Coal: '28. Virginia is so little and cute, we just don't see how she can be so bright, too. Celia and Virginia are seen everywhere together, they are almost in- separable. VVe hear Virginia likes to play cards likewise. VVILI-'oao GANTENBEIN Wilford is a boy of whom Hites is proudg never brilliant but always shining, he's always in there. His broad, almost-Irish smile and ready wit make friends everywhere. Wilford is certain to make good and we wish him the best ofluck in every undertaking. MAE GBE Red Coat: '28, Have you .ever seen Mae when she's not laugh- ing and kidding someone? Her chief characteristic is her indifference to worry and all its accessories. Mae has more Interest in Iune than just gradua- tion! lVlABEL GEYER Some day Mabel will be a stenographer. We know, because she certainly bangs a mean type- writer now! Go to it, Mabel, welre glad to have found one girl who hasn't fallen for the boys. CORINNE GILLIS We know Corinne is methodical, practical, sin- cere, and a good sport-but we know one piece of scandal-Corinne's chief recreation and joy is do- ing the double shuffle in the halls at school. Guess why? ANDREW GOLASI NSKI Football '26-'27,' Asst. Bus. Mgr. Pennant '28. Don't think Moon is corpulent-no sir, he's just muscular. Think Moon's not popular? Boy, he could have a harem if the law allowed! We're proud of the way Moon filled his place in football, and sorry to know he's leaving us. Lucite Goous Lucilels taking ways and pretty blue eyes make many friends. Her chief pleasure seems to be telling jokes and gossiping-and don't think she can't do it! She hangs out in the library quite often, too! I'ls'rELLE Goswrau. Rea' Coats '27-'28,' Press Reporter '28,' Legio Latina I27,' Press Reporter I27,' Merezzrizts Sta-H '28. Can you imagine Estelle not ready to go some- where? I-Ier disposition can be summed up-smil- ing, happy, peppy, and friendly all the time, but she can be seriousg we haven't heard her say any- thing about collecting the silverware this time- yet!! INEZ KQUIDRY Red Coats '28. That good-looking girl named Inez is so popular with some of the boys that they even write poetry to her! We heard that Inez was already spoken for -positivelyg notice she wears a Central ring! That smile of hers has made her many friends. IRA I-IAHN JI 'I Track '27-728, Capt. '28,' Cross Country ,27,' Pres. Soph. Class '26. Ira is just another boy who Hirts with them all, but hasn't fallen as yet-so he says. He is cap- tain ofthe track team, and if he's as fast in love as he is in track-well-he had better start buying the house now! LAURA HAR1.ow Red Coats y27-I28,' La Tolteea ,28. Laura's pretty red curlv hair is one of her many attractions. She is one of the few girls who prove that girls can be beautiful as well as smart. She can swim in the shallow water very well! FRANCES HARRINGTKJN Writing Club '26. We've always admired Frances for her literary abilityg most everybody has read some of her poe- try or journalistic work in The Mereurius. Quiet people often are the smartest anyway. ELM HEAD Red Coats V27-'28, Treas. ,28,' Treas. Soplz. Class ,265 Vice Pres. Yunior Class ,27,' Club Editor Pen- nant '28, Gee, Elm, where'd you get those eyes? They'd take you halfway to Shanghai! Elm is one of the two members of the Elmanlouise'l Club which holds its meettings every hourl Elm's popularity is proved by her many friends. EVERE'F1'HEIDRICH I A' Dutch hasjust this term made his debut as a ladies' mang heretofore he took a greater interest in football and more manly sports than girls' bas- ketball, but he has changed! Dutch takes all the teasing very nicely, however. EUNICE HENDRIX See.-Treas, Le Cerele Francais l28,' Mereurius Staj '28,' Legio Latina '28,' Asst. Adv. Ed. Pen- nant '28. Can Eunice work? Get ads for the Pennant, work on Mereurius stall, play the part of a gypsy, or what have you? With such business ability we're positive she'll be a great business Woman some day! BILLIE HERRING Legio Latina '26-'27-'28. Why can't we all be like Billie? She's just naturally smarty it's a good thing there are some people like her to make up for the dumb ones! Bil ie surprised us not long ago with a permanent waveg we liked the surprise. Louise HICKEY Red Coats y27-,28,' Viee Pres. '28,' Literary Ed. Pennant '28,' Bus. Mgr. Girls' Basketball '28,' Le Cerrle Franeais '28. l,ouise's po ularity has alforded her many friends-even fixiiends at A 81 M! It is rumored that she gets letters from there quite often! Maybe if Louise had spent as much time studying as she did trying to get out of class, she would have made all sixes! l RAY Hoooson Wonder why Ray likes to draw so much? But he's good at itg so we'll leave him alone. He's just another kid full oflife, that is, in class. AUDREY Howmzo f Red Coal: '28,' Legio Latina '26-'27. We apologize to Audrey if we should hurt her feelings. Deacon seems to be the high spot in Audrey's life, although she does take time to draw some good pictures for our amusement! She can do the fainting act very well, too! KYLE HUGHES We wonder if Kyle is going to be a second Bud Fisher? His talent seems to turn that direction any- way. Kyle believes school is absolutely a place to ?tudy and learn something, and we admire him or it. Eow1N JANKE La Tolleea l26-,27-l28. Can you imagine Edwin ever being neat, im- maculate, and an example of Haming youth? We can'f, but they tell us he's a big sheik, dances and does other queer things! Still he studies enough to fool the teachers. HENRY IAHNKE Hi-Y Club ,27,' Band and Orchestra '26-'27-'28. Henry is one ofthe school musiciansg he plays a French horn, or something like that, anyway, it's foreign to us. Henry's the quiet typeg we think that he's not a sheik, still you can't tell. BERNARD JOHNSON Red Heads ,27 You'll know Bernard by his shiny red hair and sparkling brown eyesg likewise his tendency to- ward being corpulent. All the girls like Bernardg he, in turn, shows his appreciation. ALLETHA JONES Alletha's smile would get her most anywhere. Her ambition to be a journalist has no boys con- nected, and we can't deny it because we can't tell much about Allerha. She's a mysterious Figure around schoolg she says she is herself. KENNETH JONES Deacon is one of our school heroesg every- body felt so proud of him when he strutted out with that bandage around his head! His dish is arguingg why he's the shining star in that 7th pe- riod American History class-with all his bright cracks, etc. SAMUEL KALMANS Lf Samuel thought he was too retiringg so he bought him some bright and loud-checked knickers! He shocked the school the first day he wore themg while the boys stood around and hooted, the girls secretly admired him! Such popularity must be deserved! Roy KELLY Vin: Pres. Le Corrie Francaix ,27,' Legio Latina '26,' Asxoriale Editor Ilflorrurius, Fall '27. Isn't it a shame that we can't all be as smart as Roy is? His red hair isjust a sign to show that his mind is beneath and that it works too! Roy left us at mid-term, and we've missed one of the few bright boys at Heights. KOREENE KENNERLY Red Coats '28,' La Tolteca '28. Koreene and Ruth ought to be called the Sia- mese twins. When you really know Koreene, you find out how jolly and full of fun she is. She's al- ways smilingg such a disposition makes her many friends! MARGARE'F KENNERLY Red Coat: '27-'28, Sec. '28,' Tennis Club '28. Margaret is a good sport-both Ways. She al- ways studies, but more how to get out ofclass than anything else. We heard that her hobby was asking donations! Ask Margaret why she always has her Trig problems on Monday morning, only! NELLIE KESSELER Banjo Club '28, Nellie is a humored child, if she becomes ired, then an apology is given her, and she has received them from teachers and students alike. If there's anyone in school who doesn't like Nellie, we don't know who it is. w!AI.LACE KNIGHT ff' Football '26-'27,' Baxkelball '28, Capt. '28, Wallace's popularity makes him the idol of the school, especially by the feminine part. His voice makes their hearts flutter, but Wally treats them all alike. As an athlete he excels as well, his dis- position can only be admired, even if he does go to sleep in class quite often! Nona Koss Nora is one of the decided blonds-they're very rare, that's why we boast about Nora. One reason we like her so much is because she's so dependable and such a steadfast friend. IRENE KRELL Le Cerrle Francai: 727-!28,' Red Coat: '28. Irene is gifted with an ability to talkg if there's a subject to be discussed, she can talkg if there's not, she can talk anyway! She's a good sport, though. What's this rumor about a love affair with our star basketball center? JOHN KURI'FZA Track '28, John is certainly a big boy to be so childishg we call him the school cut-up because he has hardly any competition worth mentioning! He also owns the famous Ford car, that sits out in front of our school, and sometimes runs! CARL LAMBERT A friend in need is a friend indeed, might well be applied to Carl. Although she's quiet, it's often the quiet people who make the best kind of friends. Her friendly disposition is admired by everyone. il l ALDEN LANCASTER But. Mgr. Pennant '28, Tennir Club '28, Alden has just this year emerged to join the bright lights of the school! He, too, hasjust passed the childhood age, but now he has made a fine business manager for the Pennanl, and we are all proufl of him! EVALYN LANDIS Red Coat: '28, Bull Frogs !28,' Glee Club '28. You can't call Evalynys case an affair of spring fever, because it has been going on for the whole year long! Can you imagine Herman going to some school affair without Evalyn? We canlt. MARv1N Liss We hear that Marvin has a crush on a Central maid. He likes Math, too! We all know Marvin to be a jolly boy and a very good sport. He,s a very good swimmer, too. Mmzjonxe LEPPERD Legio Latina '27. Did you know that quiet people often have a hidden sense ofhumor? Well, Marjorie is just that way. VVe wonder lfshe is on a diet! ANNEE Louise LEVERTON V Annee Louise isn't like the usual run of girls- she is quiet and capable, but these quiet girls are often deceiving! We're sure Beaumont is missing her, but we're glad she came to a good school to graduate. ESTHER LIEDER Although Esther's voice is a little deep, that doesn't mean t'iat she hasn't a sweet disposition. Esther seems to be one of these girls who keeps to herself but often it's the quiet kind of people that make the best friends-that's the way with Esther.

Not only is Ralph a shot-gun in Math, but in everything else we hear. LILLIAN LITTLE Legio Latina '26-'27-'28,' Red Coat! '28. Lillian likes the boysq we know, you can't fool us, even if he doesn't go to Heights! You're not as old fashioned as one would think. Isnlt it odd how these seemingly quiet people make such good grades? Lillian is a good example. ANNIE LORD Maybe Annie's just differentg we know very little about her, except that she's rather quiet and studious. Perhaps she's so quiet because the noisy people around her donlt give her time to get started! NEWTON LovE Treax. Writing Club ,26. Newton certainly loves to readg that must account for his writing ability. We may boast yet of another Shakespeare, or something like that, who came from Heights! Even though he's rather quiet, he makes very good grades. ISRAEL LUBOWSKI Band and Orrhestm ,26-,27. Israel plays a mean trombone, and how! We won't deny that Israel can grow a mustacheg he also has held up family traditions by being a good scholar. Israel is another ofthe mid-term gradu- ates. ALEX Lurz If foul poetry means success, Alex will never have an obstacle in his way! Yet we can forgive his poetry when his excellent grades are consideredg we think he got one scholarship pin! ii jg, E , , ' Q, 4: I -1'-f'U W I ! ALEXANDER MACKENZIE 'V Alex's one gold tooth marks him an individual. Why did that tooth have to be put there, Alex, other than that the other one was gone? Alex leaves us with a recordg that is, a clean one! ATI-IA MARKS Atha has made her mark. She has climbed the ladder of education and leaves us with a good record. However, there is usually one particular male in every girl's school life, but who is in Atha's school life we never have learned. EMORY MARKS La Toltem '27. We wonder why Emory never lets his mustache grow for longer stretches. We don't even have time to get used to it before he cuts it off! It must be love! Nevertheless, Emory is a very likeable chap, and has many friends. ANDREW MARTIN School has made a man out of Andrew. Yes, and school has given him a reason to think that he can flirt as well as anyone elseg this has been proved in High Four Spanish class. Slim has been a very studious pupil, and we're proud of him. ERLENE MARTIN Red Coals '28, Erlene is quite dignified-at times! But her dignity can leave her so easilyg she doesn't seem to be a high and mi hty senior at all.Her keen sense of humor is one ofier characteristics that makes for her so many friends. LELA MARTIN Red Conti '28. Lela's beauty almost made a certain one of our football players fall. Who doesn't admire that pretty complexion and those good looking eyes? We call Lela sweet and good-looking, what more is there? NORMAN MARTINV if La Tollern '26j Hi-Y ,27. Did you know Norman has to shave nearly every day? It's true, that is, he should! For all his craving to talk and talk loudly, he's a very agree- able young man, and we find the girls think so, too. RUBYE MARRS La Toltem '28,' Red Coutx '28. We know Rubye's complexion is not a rose- colored hueg yet, during this last term we have seen her that way many times. Won't people leave young lovers alone? We know that Rubye's pretty, but we also know that a certain young man thinks she's divine. Guess who! EDITH MARSHALL Edithjust came to Heights this term from South End, and already she has been accused of being a 'fdizzy blond! Her numerous friends that she's made in only this short time show what kind of a disposition she has. MARY MARSHALI. Mary's friends are also numerous since she came here from South End. Maybe she makes them in the libraryg she's seen there at almost any period ofthe day. Her course must require lots of refer- ence Work, too, or what can be the attraction? BARBER MASON Did you ever buy a ticket from Barbee? Ifnot, it isn't his fault. Barbee is a bit childish at timesg also a sheik. He has entrancing blue eyesg and a special attraction to Math! MARJORIE MASON Just this year Marjorie came to us from Florida. Already she has adapted herself to Houston. Ask her where she got her wrist watch that she Wears! She is taking cooking this termg does that signify anything? We wonder! BYRON MCCONNEl.L Band and Orehexlra '27-'28. Byron is another musician ofthe oncoming gen- eration-but we don't suppose he can help it. And according to all information, Byron has a girl- neither is this his fault. HAZEL MCLAUGH LIN One of Hazel's best friends said that Hazel loves to be loved! As to the truth of that we don't know, but we think that most anybody would love Hazel-she is so cheerful, jolly, and smiling. LYDIA MICHEL After you know Lydia you find out howjolly and full of fun she is. No doubt she is going to be a stenographereshe likes her commercial course. Do ladies prefer blonds, too, Lydia? GRACE MOHRMAN Rea' Coats '28,4 Kodak Editor Pennant '28, That dizzy blond'! isn't in the market, boysg so don't rush. Notice the Rice sweater she wears, and you'll know why! Grace seems to be taking an especially hard course this yearg she can be found in the library at almost any period! JAMES Moiuus Band '26-'27,' La Toltem ,26-'27, Vire Pres. '26,' Hi-Y '27-'28. James is one who literally comes back for more. We admire your nerve and grit! Did you ever notice that James resembles Valentino, the big sheik! We think he likes them allg we can't find the certain one. JAMEs MOULDEN Track '27-!28,' Cross Counlry ,27,' Hi-Y !27-'28, Pres. '28. Jimmie has quite an attachment to the Junior Class and the Majestic Theater. The Erst reason is evidentg but the last! When questioned about it, Jimmie only blushed and stammered something about it being a good show! A x 1-. 1 -... Y, 1763- Y-L-. .. ., SAM Mum Hi-Y '27-'28g La Toltem '28. Sam is one of our few remaining students who has not received the call of the wild! That is, girls don't bother him much! Nevertheless, Sam is very agreeable and belongs in the Senior '!4oo. EDWARD MULVOGUE L Did you ever notice how soft and tinkling Ed- ward's voice is? Edward reserves his manners and quietness at school, but we imagine he enjoys him- self as well as the others when he's outside of school. VIRGINIA Musokova Red Coatx '28. Virginia just came from Beaumont to join us, and we're very glad to have her. She isn't a girl who always-has something .to say about everything that's mentioned, but is quite calm and reserved. R. E. NEIL R. E. should be good in the minstrels-he's that type! R. E. surprised us by graduating in June. He didn't think he wouldg neither did we! Good luck, R.E.

Willard is one of the most capable boys at Heightsg he holds enough offices! Willard seems to be too busy to bother with the girlsgexcept to help them occasionally with their lessons, just to be kind to the dumb things! Our hats are off to Wil- lard! MAXINE NOARK Sweet, timid, and kind, describes Maxineg she's a friend to everybody and we all like her. Math is her dish-she's just rrazy about it! Be- lieve that or not!

For some time now she's been more interested in watching for a little grey Ford to appear in front of the school than in last period gym class. Wonder why? EUNICE PALMER We miss the girl with the pretty black hair who finished at mid-term, but we're glad she's going to graduate with us in June. Eunice is another quiet and rather retiring girl, but her pleasing ways make for her many friends. IONE PARKER Red Coat: '27-l28,' La Talleca ,27. lone is nearly always laughing, no matter where you see her. Perha s it runs in the family! She is another little girl wiliio shows lots of pep and school spirit. lone admires black curly hair-so we heard. We wonder why? DAN PARMESON Banjo Club '28, You never can tell, Dan may some -day be a sec- ond'Fr1tz KfClSlCf. At the present time he has a violin! Dan is one of ourshelky brunettesg he can outtalk almost anybody in our school, we think. JOYE PARRISH joye, have a heart. Tell us something about your- self! It must be nice to keep people guessing. But there 's one thing we do knowg and that is you sure do know your Math and everything else. HOLLIS PEVER Basketball '28, Capt. Elect. ,29. Is it cold up there, Hollis? No offense meantg we'll remember him by his excellent playing on the basketball team. This year Hollis has surprised us all by turning out to be interested in the ladies, like most of the rest are. ,A .- . ., ., .f ,N ' ,1...'L. f- To wp si ,Wye fl 'Z:ff'iifl fifwg?'f5Ifc'21f ' ll fl' ' -Qt, t 1, M ' MAXINE Pavek Red Coal: ,27-l28j Yell Leader '28, Another little girl with lots of pep and a great person at getting things done-is Maxine.

Genevieve PLEDGE Oreherlra ,26-'27-,28,' National High School Or- elzextra ,27-,28,' Glee Club '26. ' Do you remember the stunning looking little boy who played the violin at the Loew's Theater one Week. Well, that was Genevieve, and aren't we proud of her talent? Heights will some day boasta amous violinist, we are sure. PATT11: B. POLK Bull Frog: '28. Why is Pattie B. so very interested in B.Y.P.U. and church and so little in school? Who is the boy, Pattie B.? We all admire her Willingness to help and her friendly disposition. AUTRY RANDALL Pres. Banjo Club '28,' Ant. Literary Ed. Pennant '28,' La Tolteca '28, Boots is quite a ladies' mang perhaps it is be- cause he's a good banjo player. Besides t at he can write quite passable poetry sometimes! Everybody likes Autry, and when you know him you don't wonder at his popularity. SARAH RAU La Toltera ,27j Plzilosopherlr Club '28, Sarah's been kidded enough about a certain tall, handsome bruteg so we'lljust dro the subject. Did you ever see Sarah without her plieasant smile? We wonder what causes it. It can't be love-that is, We don't think it can be. Blzssls RAWLS Plziloxopherls Club '28. Bessie says she likes to keep houseg from the rumor that's been going around we don't wonder why. At least we strongly suspect that Bessie is another one who has a permanentjob awaiting her immediately after graduation! 9 -'ie CLARENCE REED Clarence is one of our diminutive graduates. He's a very good student for all that, and he's proved that he is hig enough to help himself. Keep on, though, Clarence, and you'll be a man some day! I ARTHUR ROBERTS L' Track '27-'28,' Capt. Cross Country l27. x Judging Shorty by his sheiky hair and his muscular ability, we might easily call him the 'fPatent Leather Kid. Shorty's friendly smile and dancing ability help make him popular with the girls. He also made his mark on the track. CRAYTON ROBERTSON V!! Rosie left us at mid-term-maybe to break the news gently. His nickname truly fits him- he's always smiling and joking-he would! Still play golf, Rosie? CONNIE SAUNDERS Where did Connie get that innocent look she gives us? Besides being cute, little, and possessing pretty black hair and baby blue eyes-Connie is quite smart, and don't think she can't be sarcastic at times! LILLIAN SCOTT Legio Lalina '28,' Sah Wah ,27. The little blond With freckles and cute grin rather likes the stronger sex, so we think! How about it, Lillian? She loves to dance and flirt- and can't be worried about studying or anything like that. META SEILER Red Coat: '27-'28. Meta might have been the inspliration for the saying, Still waters run deep. S e is very quiet and Gemureg perhaps we only half suspect the depths of her mind. She's so little We just can't imagine her being a sophisticated Senior! ,:f4fy'-- gf..--xl -V.

RUTH SMITH Red Coat: '27-'28g La Tollera ,27-,28. Ruth isjust as lost without Koreene as Koreene is without Ruth! She's always happyg and why her interest is keener in the Press Sport Page than in any other paper's is not such a mystery as she might think! FELIX STAGNO Vine Pres. Banjo Club l28,' La Tolieca l27-'28. The cute, clever, banjo player with curly hair is Felix! He isn't the one to be partialg he's just a jolly kid looking for a ood time, and he certainly finds it too. Miss Crawgard can tell you more about his cuteness than we can! ADA MAE STA LLI Nos Red Coal: ,27-,28,'Lt1 Tolleca l27-,28. Ada Mae is one of few girls who can entertain. She is likewise a talented dancer. Ada Mae can really boast a permanent wave that is permanent. JOSEPHINE STARR Girl Rerervex '28,' Philosopher? Club '28. Josephine is rightfully namedg she shines in all of her work. Josephine says her greatest ambition is to succeed Mrs. Creekmore as dean of John H. Reagan High School! LEE STEPHENSON Glee Club '27-l28,' Red Coal.: ,27-,28. Lee is the kind of girl who can accomplish any- thing that she starts out to do. She can manage things, and do the real work too. With that pretty voice and charming personality, she ought to be an actress, we think! I 'l T Y -4 GLOVER STERIJNG That little boy whom everybody calls cute is none other than Glover-but his knowledge doesn't com are with his size at allg he's really very smart. CEirl's don't interest him, however, he 's no time for such foolishness! ,f RANDO LPH STRONG Footbal '25-'26-'27-l28, Capt. '28g Tnzrk '25-'27- '28g Treat. ffunior Clair '26. In spite of the Driscoll twins, Randy is quite attached to South End. Perhaps he can explain the appearance of his famous sweater with four stripes and a star, on that campus. Besides all this, he's quite an athlete, as well as a ladieslman. THEO STUDNEY Theo takes school quite seriouslyg maybe she's one of the few who do! Even though she is con- scientious about her Work, etc., she has a good sense of humor that we all admire! MARGARET TAYLOR Red Coats '28,' Sal: Wah l27,' Bull Frogs '28. We're almost positive that Margaret doesn't spend all her time studying, regardless of her good grades. We think she likes boys a little, too. She's a good swimmer likewise. VIVIAN TAvLoR La Toltem l27,' Red Coal.: ,27-'28. We all like Vivian very much and class her among our 'prettiest girls. Perhaps she has .her dresses Utailor-made g they are so attractive. Vivian likes to dance, as well as attend school af- fairs. GEORGE T1-IIELEN George doesn't seem to care so much about the girls. What's the trouble, George? Your muscles are big enough to allow you to do some cave man stuff! Louise 'l'1-ioMAs Red Coutx l28,'Lt1 Tollem '27-l28. After much hard work UD Louise has finally de- cided to graduate. Her popularity has not ruined her disposition-it couldn't! Autry thinks she is our prettiest brunette. M1 LDRED 'THOMPSON Mildred thought high school wasn't enough school for her, so after she graduated at mid-term she went to business college. But We're glad she'll be back to graduate with us in June. HEI.EN TOMLIN Red Conn '2X,' Basketball '28,' Sal: Wah ,27,' Bull Hfogi '2X.

Although she's a little bashful, she's a good sport, and we all like her-and she likes football quarter- backs! PoLi.Y TREMAINE Le Cerele Francais ,27,' Glee Club '27-l28. Ifpolpularity means success and happiness, then Polly s ould be endowed with both. Besides being a cradle snatcher, she's a dizzy little blond. Her popularity rests on all those sheiks she knowsg we don't know which one is the one! HELIOTROPE UPCHURCH La Tolteca ,27-,28,' Red Coat.: '27-'28, ' Heliotrope speaks to all the boys and even Hirts with some of them, but somehow wejust know that she's more interested in railroads-especially the S.P.l And don't think she's not popular! DORIS VAN DEMARK Art Editor Pennant '28,' Red Coats '27-,28,' Yell Leader '28,' La Tolteea '27-'28,' Glee Club '28,' Ban- jo Club '28. 'I'here's Doris in her flaming red dress and play- ing her uke as usual. She's got pep and lots of itg she's popular and friendly too. Doris is Art Editor of the Pennantg besides that she plays tennis and sings-how's that for an all-round girl? .:, 7, RUTH VOGLER Ruth should be one of our brightest studentsg she has twice as many eyes as most of us. She is one of our quieter types of students, and for this rea- son we can't tell much about her, but we know that her friends are numerous. MAUVALYN WALKER Who would deny that Mauvalyn is pretty? We couldn't be so deceitful. She didn't tell us who the boy friend is, but with Mauvalyn around we won't bother about that. Louise WARNELI. Louise is just the type of girl boys don't forget -not only boys but gir s as well, for her popularity is as great with girls as with boys. We hear that she likes to dance, too! EARL WATSON We don't think that Earl produces that pleasant smile in vain you never can tell about these young people who look like they have a high purpose in life! We think that Earl is a Sheik, although we have no particular reason to think it. Homin WEDIG Le Cerfle Franmix '26-'27. One of these unassuming young lads is Homer He, incidentally, doesn't seem to be affected by the pretty girls who surround him all the time. By the way, he takes quite an interest in Physics! Rosen WHITE, Track y27-,28,' Bulldog Quarlelle y26-,27. Bob's an all-round good sport and We're sure everyone at school likes him. He seems to bejust a regular fellow, noticing all the girls in general and none in particular, although he might have it, we don't know! KEERALD VVHITEHEAD Gerald has only been here at Heights for one year, but he is known very well already because of his good work in his studies. Gerald takes school seriously, and tries his best on anything he at- tempts. Ei,EANoR XVHITLOXV For being really cute we think that Eleanor takes the prize! Did you ever see such a tiny girl who was so pretty too? Strange to say, her knowl- edge doesn't correspond at all to her sizeg she's quite bright. KA'I'HERINE WICHMAN Red Coats 328g Bull Frogs '28. Swimming in particular and anything in the athletic line seems to be Katherine's passion. VVhether or not gentlemen interest her, we don't know, She has dignity Csometimesj and we can't find out much about her! CECIL XNILSON Legio Latina '26. Math, especially Trig, is one of the subjects whichjust naturally come easy to Cecilg no offence is meant, old man! But why talk about Cecil? He needs no introductionghe plays football. 'THEODORE XVINKLER Following in the footsteps of his big brother, Theo leaves us before his fuzz has left him. If he keeps on, he may have a manly beard some day. Little, but boisterous is his mottog he's been suc- eessful in living up to it. HELEN YOUNG Le Cerrle Franmix '26-l28. Helen lives on a ranch and she says one of her chief enjoyments is riding horses bareback. Maybe she's a cow-girl! Helen dropped out of school one term, but we're surely glad to have her back to graduate. lk Aff. A VIOLA ZACH RY We've missed Viola at school this last term, and are sorry her poor health keeps her from graduating with us. Her pretty auburn hair places her in the red-headed group of girls too, we suppose. Ros1NA ZAHN Glee Club '28, We've always admired Rosina's pretty black hair and pleasing smile. She says her chief pleasure is picnickingg and although she doesn't talk so much at school, no doubt she does when she is on a picnic! CONSTANCE ZIRBEL BullFrag: '28. If you've ever been to a basketball ame and heard someone yelling, Come on, Heights! in a high, excited voice, you'll know that's Connie! Some day wejust know that her enthusiasm will cause her to have heart failure! OLGA RAE HUESTIS We've never seen Olga Rae when she wasn't happy and smiling, she's what we'd call a good sport.

We ean but try to do our best, Our eforts we can givej But after all it's for the best, Our own lives we must live. But when the play is nearbf done - .find we reflect our party Let 's make it seem our work was fun- Life's work eombined with art. -Autry Herbert Randall '28 KJ zmiom fri, X I 4 L f 'I' ' f W? 7 .V W SA TTQW :L-fb?

Chairzzzafz Progmm Committee LORAINE GAUTNEY .... . . .Cluzirzfmzz Social Committee About eight years ago the Legio Latina was organized and during each successive year it has grown in importance and popularity. From the beginning the purpose ofthe club was to make a dead language the liveliest thing in school. This year, besides doing this, it undertook and accomplished with the greatest success, the most difficult task in its history+the publication of our school paper Mercurius. A great deal of praise is due the club for having accomplished this task. The students and many other organizations had realized the need ofa school paper for some time, but the Legio Latina was the power that materialized. To insure a good Financial start of the Mercurius next year, the members of the Legio Latina, assisted by kind friends, presented the play Engaged by VVednesday on March 30 at James Hogg auditorium. It gave the cast much pleasure to present the play a second time on April IQ upon the request of the Cooley School P.T.A. The crowning event of the year of work and play was a party given by the club com- plimenting the faithful members of the Mercurius staff and the cast ofthe play.

Sponsor Le Cercle Francais was reorganized in the fall of 1927 with eighteen members and with Miss Daisy Phelps as sponsor. At the first meeting officers were elected and plans were made for the year. It was decided that meetings would be held only once a month and if possible there should be an entertainment each month. The club was organized for the purpose of creating more interest among the students in the French language. The members received a great deal of enjoyment and pleasure from the club and acquired a much much better knowledge of French as well. The outstanding social activities of the year included a tea at the French Tavern, a visit aboard the De La Salle, a French liner, a treasure hunt at the home of Irene Bobb, and a farewell party at the home of Miss Phelps. Those members taking a prominent part in the club activities were: Irene Bobb, Yetive Etie, Esther Fisher, Christine Fitzgerald, Margueret Hart, Elm Head, Louise Hickey, Mary Kennedy, Irene Krell, Willard Nesmith, Horace Phelps, Mary Stoval, Ethel Schaffering, Gerald Wait, Lolita Washburn, and Helen Young. --- ---- V H - --- -A -- fun- V-A-.......-..-..- -v ...v. ......, ..... . -.,....-., . s,.,..,,,,,-. , .,.,, - .,,, ,,..

This year it was l l I. reorganized in the last week of October With a membership of fifty and Mr. Mer- cado as sponsor, the club had a most successful year. The club pin was the same as it had been for the last few years, a small gold sombrero with the numeral '28 as a guard. I The organization had several entertainments at which everyone had a glorious time. ll One that we shall long remember is the holiday dance given at the Heights Clubhouse ' - on December the twenty-third in honor of the football team. Another is the chili supper given in true Spanish style on March 22 in the school cafeteria. Here's hoping that La I Tolteca shall continue to live long and loudly among our other school organizations. l : A l 4 V 1 l Lug . ... , . 445. ll . it-Z lf'-l Ml ily IPI 1--, :fl ,L ' WL., .yi If 491 in lf!! :pil gi I' l fE-s 'ill Rpm., .lg , lg'- l l ll?

VVARD BROWN, Di7'L'ff07' The Orchestra is an organization for the student who is interested in music, and wishes to acquire skill on his instrument and obtain some knowledge of the other instruments. The Orchestra has been organized for seven years and has grown from six pieces to thirty pieces. The Orchestra plays an important part in the activities of the school. It is always ready to furnish music for any occasion. Any school entertainment without it would be a failure. At all of the plays this year the Orchestra has furnished the music, besides putting on three shows of its own in the cafeteria and playing at the City Auditorium for the school exhibit. Genevieve Pledge, first violinist of the Orchestra, was selected as representative from our city to the National High School Orchestra meeting at Chicago. Any student who has a fair knowledge of his instrument is eligible to membership in the organization. The following are members of the Orchestra: Nolan Barrack, Florine Borgstrom, Robert De Villier, Dan Parmeson, Genevieve Pledge, Robert Swango, Franklin Washburn, violins, Marion Adams, Eunice Borgstrom, Roy John- son, Richard Shannon, clarinetsg Malcolm Buescher, Leroy Melcher, John Pollock, Lloyd Zapp, saxophones, Willard Nesmith, Oscar Nolen, Edwin Meisler, Victor Voebelg trumpets, Jim Ferrell, Fred Molkenbur, trombones, Henry Jahnke, alto-horn, Byron McConnell, Horace McConnell, baritonesg Leslie Kohlman, bass, Mervin Davis, bas- soon, Porter Smith, C.

Under the direction of Mr. Victor Alessandro the band has become something of which to be proud. Every Monday at the sixth period after the band organized in September the pupils studied to the tune of trumpets, saxophones, mellophones, etc. The band had quite a few public appearances during the year and our hearts were filled with pride, while we felt: fully compensated for all the noise they had made just outside the library windows in U the shack. Their talent was always in evidence at our football games and Christmas they played at the Tree of Light. The members of the band are Richard Shannon, Charles Bang, Charles Daniels, clarinetsg Malcolm Buescher, John Pollock, Lloyd Zapp, saxophonesg Marion Adams, alto-clarinetg Henry Jahnke, mellophoneg Byron McConnell, Horace McConnell, bari- tonesg Leslie Coleman, VVillard Nesmith, Leroy Melcher, basses, Jim Ferrell, Fred Molkenbur, trombonesg Edwin Meisler, Oscar Nolen, Victor Voebel, trumpetsg Oscar Selander, bass drum, Porter Smith, snare drum, Chester Bond, cymbals. l -A W l The Glee Club Mas.

It is composed of eighteen of the best voices in the school. The members have always been very willing to help with any entertainment in which they were able and the school is very much in debt to them. This year the club presented two very successful operettas. These were two one-act operettas: Freshies,,' staged by boysg and Lady Frances, staged by girls. In the last month of school the club put on Once in a Blue Moon, a very beautiful operetta in prologue and three acts.

S ecretary We have had many different kinds of clubs at our school, but this year is the first time we have ever boasted a Banjo Club. In its infancy the club has made quite a few public appearances and it has taken its audiences by Storm. Those ten peppy members with their tinkling banjo strings have been able to attract a great deal of attention. They can make the melody Hy! ClVlany an evening after school the jazziest music could be heard floating down the hall from Mr. Mercado's room where the club practiced regularlyj We have excellent reasons to believe that it will not be long until the Banjo Club be- comes one of our largest organizations.

RALPH LOONEY The Red Coats were first organized in the fall of 1926 under the guidance of Mrs. Helen Hunt Duffield. The sixty girls, uniformed in Maroon and White, spurred on by the grim determination to revive that Old Hites' Spirit, marched to the front, supporting their school and its athletes. These girls became so popular and so well known that in the fall of 1927 when a call was issued for new members, I6O of the pep- piest girls in school responded. WVith Mrs. Kurtz Gaugler and Mrs. Ralph Looney as Sponsors and the officers as leaders the girls Started immediately to make that year one of crowning success in work and play. The interest of the school was always at heart and at all times the Red Coats were ready and willing to serve the school in any way that they could. Their work started - - ' S . ...ia-an - 1, .- ,I ' -.3p,a,,, - on the opening day of the fall term, when they helped the new students to get settled into the regular routine of senior high school life. The Red Coats represented the school in two parades: one on Armistice Day and one in honor of Jesse H. Jones, upon his arrival from New York after having obtained the National Democratic Convention for Houston. During the Texas State Parent-Teachers Association, the Red Coat girls served at the luncheon at our cafeteria in honor of them. They also represented Reagan in the public school exhibit at the City Auditorium and welcomed Jesse H. Jones on the occasion of the tree-planting in his honor on our campus. VVhen the football season opened, the pep squad supported those 'fFighting Bull- dogs with high-pitched enthusiasm. They cheered the team, whether winning or losing, greeted the boys after each of the games, and many times honored them with a supper or banquet. The game in Beaumont was attended by a large representation of Red Coats, who with the school band and student body, formed a rooting section that will never be forgotten. Between the halves of every game the girls divided into two companies and with Doris Van Demark and Maxine Pever as captains, gave field demonstrations. The basketball teams, both boys' and girls', were likewise well supported by the Red Coats. At the end of the season, the annual banquet for the bas- ketball teams, at which the letters were presented, was put over in great style by the Red Coats. The party given the football, basketball, and track athletes by the Red Coats provided a great finale to the athletic season. The Red Coat Yell Book, containing not only the school yells and songs but also the football and basketball lineups and schedules, proved a success with the student body and fans of Reagan athletics. Slats, the Red Coat play presented at the beginning of the spring term was well accepted. l V Y , ,N 'x -,,, , H,-,-,-,.,,,,. ,Www W. .., - ,X 1, A A T N Bull Froggy ELIZABETH DEUTSCH. . . . . ....

Before mem- bership was granted and emblems awarded, a candidate had to pass a swimming test and attend six regular meetings. The purpose of the club is to promote interest in swimming, diving, and life-saving. Some of the members trying out for the school team and Red Cross life saving tests met every morning at 7:15 for practice. A swimming meet between the senior high schools ofHouston was held in May at Y.W,C.A., where the girls gave a very good account of themselves.

Editor-in-chief OscAR SELANDER .... . . .Buxiners Manager This year for the first time in the history of the school, Heights had a real newspaper- the Illercurius. The publication was sponsored by the Latin Club under the direction of Miss Vera Harris and supervised by Miss Fannie Black, teacher of journalism. For some time the need had been apparent for some means of tying the student body together in its undertakings. This year with the need more pressing than ever before for a centralized method of expression, the Latin Club, ably directed by Miss Harris, laid their plans carefully and put them into execution. The first issue of the paper appeared on December 20, 1927 and was followed by four more editions before the end of school in June. ' From its first appearance the Merrurius took the lead among the papers of the other schools in the city and with each successive issue became more of a leader and model for the rest. The student body and local advertisers lent their unqualified support to the undertaking and helped to place it upon a substantial basis so tha titmight carry on into future years the ideals and principles upon which the first Mercu1'iu5 was founded. The staff consisted of the following editors, reporters, and heads of departments: VVillard Nesmith, Roy Kelly, Alden Lancaster, Loraine Gautney, Eunice Hendrix, Chester Bond, Joe VVilliamson, Joe Neveux, Winston Gilpin, Louise Forrest, Estelle Gosnell, Virgina Funke, Morris Patterson, Louise Hickey, and Elm Head. Miss Vera Harris and Miss Fannie Black were the oH-icial sponsors. QL . , . -.,,,.., . , ,.l . -, f.-.... ,,,W..-,.-.-,, ,--a .. ..,,,-..,-,,e,.,,,-., .,,, , , ,,..,M,.-,.,- Q.,-' iQ-l'f.Qfl.f1-....

E ditor-in-chief ALDEN LANCASTER, .... . . . .Burinesr Manager To create an annual that would be truly representative of Reagan-her beauty, tra- ditions, athletic teams, clubs, and organizations as well as the student life-was the de- sire of the Staff in building the I 928 Pennant. Handicapped by a late start and improper organization at the start, each member of the Staff has done his best and striven to make for Hites a book of which we should all be proud. Forced to crowd into a space of weeks that work which should be done in months, the Staff has responded with a will and has accomplished the impossible, The Editor wishes to take this space and means to express his appreciation on behalf of the Staff for the splendid cooperation accorded the Pennant by The Rein Company, printers, Southwestern Engraving Company, photo-engravers, and Keystone Studio, photographers. To Geraldine Slater, Frances Harrington, Regina de Pomorski, and Connie Saunders, typists, goes much credit for their splendid work. The Editor wishes also at this time to officially thank the members of the Staff, the faculty, and members of the student body for their efforts to which can be attributed the success of the annual. It is sincerely believed that better friends in need would be hard to find. Perhaps there are Haws in the book-some may feel that wrong has been done-but we have tried to plan the book so that it will present in a unified, well-balanced way the life of the school as it is lived. In every case we have attempted to assume an unbiased viewpoint, giving proper recognition where we felt it was deserved. In order to break away from many old established forms and customs and in an at- tempt to portray the life of the student body in a manner somewhat different from that of former years, we have adopted the theme of the historical life of John H. Reagan, the great Texan and statesman for whom our school is named. The cover, the opening pages, the division pages, the regular as well as the special borders and other bits of art work and design have been made to conform to that theme either in architectural design or in direct reference. It has been the one big desire of the Staff to create a book which shall in future years bring pleasant memories of the old school and in particular the Class of '28, If we have succeeded in that, our purpose, the sleepless hours, trials, and weary days of work will be forgotten in the knowledge of a task well done. The Editor -2- an l A it RED COAT INITIATION ' The Red Coats held their first initiation in December in the school cafeteria. The initiation committee consisted of: Alice Blazek, General Chairman, Louise Hickey, Margaret Kennerly, Helen Donovan, President, Elm Head, Estelle Gosnell, Maxine Pever, Doris Van Demark.

RED COAT ' 'ATHLETIC ' ' PARTY Red Coats, pepsters of Reagan, entertained Tuesday evening May 8, at St. Andrews Episcopal church parish house with an end-0'-the season frolic when the boys of the athletic organizations were special guests.

The rooms were decorated in maroon and white with streamers hanging in shower effect from the chandeliers and a huge H arranged on one side of the wall. Tables for games were provided for the pleasure of the guests and Oscar Selander and his orchestra furnished music for the dance. More than 200 guests were included in the personnel.

At the early hour of 8:15 a.m. the Seniors gathered at the Union Station to depart for Galveston on the train reserved for them. The features of the going trip were the singing, danc- ing, and bridge games in the coaches. The thrill-seeking Seniors arrived in Galveston at about IO o'clock, whereupon the afore-mentioned town took on a far livelier aspect than it had had before. The beach-Tokio-was their iirst destination. Lunches and coats were checked and the rambling began. Mr. Sell managed to get a few films in that moving picture machine of his in the mean-time. Some of the Seniors went to town to hunt souvenirs or to go to a show, but the great majority stayed on the. beach to take in the Roller Coaster, the Old Mill, the Mystic Maze, etc. About 12:30 the lunches were eaten, and at I :oo all went up to the Tokio to begin the real Senior picnic. The orchestra, inspired by the sea winds, odor of oysters, etc., or per- haps by that Glorious Galveston water, played with more pep and endurance than has ever before been noticed. The dancing continued until six o'clock, save for a few intervals when thrills were caught on the Roller Coaster or bridge games begun for the primary purpose of rest. A few minutes before six a girl's tag-dance, which turned out to be nearly murder to several of oururespected Senior boys, ended the day with alively and exhilarating flourish. The trip home! Needless to say, the poor children were tired to death, but such foolish goings-on would never be expected of school graduates as were witnessed on that return trip. The train arrived in Houston at 8 :45 and was met by many proud but anxious parents, who have their fears about these Senior Days. Everyone had a glorious time, and the day was perfect, the picnic was not marred by any misdemeanors on the part of the students or indecencies of the wealthy. The Seniors were chaperoned by Mrs.B. W. Creekmore, Mrs. Ralph Looney, Miss Fannie Black, Miss Belle Williamson, and Mr. R. A. Sell. APRIL FOOL'S DAY April Fool 's Day! What memories this day holds for Heights Students! On that day the school is turned over by sailors, kiddies, pirates, girls Cboys so attiredl, grandpas, old maids, and every other conceivable kind of human being. Every rag, costume, old fashioned garment in any familyas attic was pulled out and darned for the gala affair. 'T was a very weary Mr. Waltrip when the last bell rang. :GJ A 3 5.521 41 !

Randy carries with him a part of Heights which can never be Filled but will always be a memory in the traditions of the Bulldogs. An inspiring leader and a man of high ideals of character, Randolph was always the man to whom the squad looked in time of need. No team gained around his end at any time and he was the most feared man of all in his deadly running down of punts. Randy's wonderful ability and execution of plays coupled with his natural ability to lead and lead well caused Krichamer at the end of the season to ex- press the sentiment of all of us4 He is one of the greatest football captains Heights has ever known. JOE CPu.vk!zaD PE'rRAs, Habfback 727 Pate, who returned to Hites after a years absence, played the style of game that marked him as a brilliant player on that famous Heights Junior Team of '25, Joe was of that shifty, speedy type of backfield man who could always be de- pended upon for a few yards and if placed in the open would never stop. His broken Held running and off-tackle thrusts brought joy to the hearts of the Heights rooters time after time. VVALLACE CNiggarj KNIGHT, Center '27 Wally playing his second season with the team stepped out and showed all the boys the way in which a star center should perform. His great work through the year won him unanimous choice as all-district man. His uncanny diagno- sis of plays made him one of the most valuable men on the team. His ability to break through the line and block punts was the cause of a number of touchdowns made by the team. HAROLD CBQYD FITZGERALD Tackle '26-'27 f'Fitz is just another one of those great, big footballers who always fight with the knowledge of the game and a will to win or die. HBH? reached heights of fame in the past two seasons which earned him unanimous choice both years as all-city tackle. Beaumonters will re- member BifT as the young giant who repeatedly rushed Alford's passing and punting. ANDREW CMoonj GOLASINSKI Guam' 726-727 Moon was another second year man who finished his career at Heights in a blaze of glory. Short of stature, but as immovable as the Rock of Gibraltar, he was in the thick of every scrimmage, and only an unfortunate injury early in the season kept him from all-district honors. It was a pretty sight to see Moon swing out of line and lead the interference on a sweeping end run. BERT Ullifkifj KIVEL, I-lab'-Back l27 Mickie is a very fast man and was an outstanding player in every game. He showed to best advantage at running in- terference and tackling in the South End game and the Beaumont tussle. Bert will wear the Maroon and White next year and it is expected that the coaches from his home town in Illinois will wonder how he ever managed to get away from them to star for Heights state champions of 1928. K JOE CRLHZD Nsviaux .Quarter-bark ,27,' Capt.-Elect. '28 HRunt, the little triple-threat man of Heights,made his first HH this year. Joe is a little man of 137 pounds with lots of fight and a never-say-die spirit. He is a perfect runner, a sure passer, a great interference man, a safe kicker, and a deadly tackler. Little 'fRunt will lead the Bulldogs into battle next year and we wish for him all kinds of luck. JOHN CPlatterj MARASEK, Tackle ,27 John reached the peak of fame in the Beaumont game, breaking through time after time to throw the mighty Alford for large losses and make him sweat blood as he was forced time after time to get rid of the ball long before any of his men could get into the clear to take a pass. This s iked the Purple's strongest offensive t reat and after they realized that their passes would not work they were a beaten team. VVENZEL CFrogj BARZIZA, Guard 727 'fl-7rog, one of the best guards in the state,who easily won all-city honors,will be with us next year to make his second letter and run Co-Captain Lyons a race for high honors at guard. Wenzel is to be admired for his splendid fighting spirit for it is well known that he has more nerve than a government mule. VVenzel was out the latter part of the season with a broken ankle. Let's wish him better luck next year. A jj?-fmt' f+---+------------ '-'- b-----rl' - -ff------ M- .EM CLEM CCajzmj STONECIPHER End '27 f'Cajun was the man with the perfect toe who booted the pigskin between the cross-bars in the Port Arthur game for a victory of 7-6. Clem made his first letter with the Bulldogs this year and much is expected of him next year. With his sure tackling, hard-driving, and wonderful speed he will do more than his share to- wards a state championship team next year. JACK fClzinkj PAssANTE Hayback ,27 Jack might well be called the chief dispatcher in that he never failed to clear the track. His strongest forte was his uncanny ability to eliminate more than one opponent from every lay, his work along this line being one ofpthe fea- tures of every game. Not only was he of great assistance to his fellow players but he could always be depended upon to hit the line for a few precious yards. EVERETT Uqualtyj LYONS Gaara' '27, C0-Captain Elert '28 This young man was another first year man on the squad and his great playing coupled with his natural ability to lead earned him the co-captaincy for next year. Squatty was built very near the ground but this enabled him all the better to get to the bottom of every play, and the Bulldogs are yet to meet a foe that could gain through his position. Q? 5 RANDOLPH fRandyD STRONG f End '24-'25-'26, Captain '27 As ia reward of three ears of brilliant play under the colors ofy Heights Randy was elected captain of the 1927 Bulldog team. Randy was one of the best ends in the state in that whole period of time and was undoubtedly the best end to ever wear the Maroon and White. Randy is leaving us now and leaves behind him a gap that can never be rehlled either on the football field or on the campus.

His aggres- siveness and coolness under Ere were his chief characteristics, and every time he took the ball for an end run or an off tackle thrust, the head linesman and his assistants prepared to move on. FRED QFrc'ddieD Long .Quarter-bafkg Hay'-back ,27' l Freddie held down both the quarter- back and half-back posts during the sea- son and more than made good at both positions. After an unfortunate injury to Neveux in the South End game, Freddie was not only called on to direct the team play, but was 'forced to do the kicking and passing. His sensational forty yards toss to Randy in the Beaumont game aved the way for the touch-down which lie himself carried over within the next few minutes. 1 BINK VVEST End 727 Binks came to us early in the fall, a green and inexperienced player and e- merged at the end of the season a great end. Possessed of a wonderful fighting spirit and undying grit, he set out to make a letter and more than made good. He made a great running mate for our captain and the team that made many gains around his sector could consider it- self fortunate indeed. He was rarely drawn out of position on trick plays and his covering of punts could hardly be improved upon. GEORGE QPOD SHARPLEY Fullbafk ,27 VVord are wholly inadequate in de- scribing the force with which this hard hitting back drove through all the lines which he was called upon to plunge. Not only was he the battering ram of the team, but his educated hands were on the receiving end of most of our passes. 'T flxlnlns' ? A . gk I .fx ,fx , Y , X YY.. Heights 20-La Porte 6 In a fast, but loosely played game, the Bulldo s over-whelmed the hard-fighting boys from La Porte. La Porte was the first to score when a Heights Fumble was recovered by one of their ends who dashed 55 yards to a touchdown. The Heights score came in the second quarter after a series of passes from Neveux to Long and a line plunge by Neveux. Joe then passed to Randy for the extra point. At the start of the second half the Bulldogs again took the ball and with Durham and Wilson plunging through the line for gain after gain, marched down the field to a second score. Wilson plunged over right guard for the score. Neveux again passed to Strong for the extra point. The third touchdown was achieved in the same manner as the other, a twelve-yard charge through the line by Neveux ending the drive. Try for extra point failed. The play of the team in this game was brilliant at times and indications were that we would boast a formidable machine before the season ended. . Heightr 13-Sam Houston Normal Reserves 6 Itwasa fighting,snapping,snarling pack of Bulldogs that trotted out on the field to face the Normalites, and snatch away a well earned I3-6 victory. The team was rapidly beginning to take shape and the line succeeded in stopping every rush of the Bearkats, while the backlield composed of Neveux, Long, Sharps ley, Passante, Kivel played brilliantly. The team was held scoreless in the first quarter, but in the second they opened up a drive that would not be denied. Long, Neveux, and Sharpley carrying the ball to the 13-yard marker and a pass, Sharpley to Kivel, laced the ball on the two-yard line. Pot then took the oval and smashed the line for the score. Joe gleveux kicked the goal. The second score came as the result of a bad pass by the Normal center, which was recovered by john Herr who galloped 30 yards to a touchdown. Sam Houston made their only score in the last quarter after Krichamer had jerked the greater part of his first-string men. The score came after a series of long passes and end runs. WW ' 7'5 'Ei 'Y 7T 'l-T-' ' Height: I8-HOM5f0U ffunior College 7 VVith Strong, Fitzgerald, Lyons and Knight opening up big holes in the Cougar line and stopping every thrust of their backs, and Belanger, Neveux, and Long driving through and around their line, the Bull- dogs rolled up an 18-7 score over the Houston Junior College team. The first score was the result of a blocked kick by Wallace Knight which he recovered on the opponentsl8-yard line. Belanger then took the pigskin over a run around right end. In the second quarter a steady march down the field featuring the entire backfield and line, gave the Maroon and White their second touchdown. The third and final tally was the result of Knight's third blocked kick of the game, which rolled over the goal line closely followed by VVallace who covered it for six points. The lone junior College score was the result ofa 65- yard run by Scarborough, their speedy halfback, who grabbed a low punt at the side of the field and tore out for the Heights' goal line and did not stop until he had crossed it. Heightt 6-Milby 0 Playing on a muddy field and in a drizzling rain, the Bulldogs continued their championship march by bowling over the Milby Buffaloes to the tune of 6-o. Most of the game was fought in Milby territory and but for the breaks of the game the Bulldogs might have rolled up a hi get score. The only touchdown of the game came early in the third quarter, when, with the ball in Milifvy's ossession, Wallace Knight broke through and blocked a punt, recovering the oval on the 12-yard line. Tlliree line plunges by Sharp- ley through the hard-fighting Milby line, placed the ball on the 3-yard mark and on the next lay Freddie Long carried the ball over. The try for oint was blocked. The line as usual featured with tlieir fast and furious charging and the backfield led by Passante, who did some great blocking and interference run- ning, made gain after gain through the line and og tackle. The team after a slow start was fast assuming all the appearance ofdistrict champions and every game found them a little better than before. ii ' ' at v::m.frj ' 1.1ds.'L 9' ,JK A ,Ag . Heiglzls 7-Port Arthur 6 The unscored-on boys from Port Arthur came and saw and left town on the short end of a 7-6 score. This game was one of the hardest fought games of the year, with the result remaining in doubt until the final whistle blew. After all is said and done a great deal of the credit must go to the Heights line which stopped the Yellow-Jacket forwards time after time and opened up great holes for the Bulldog backs to dash through. The Heights score came early in the game after a succession of line plunges and off-tackle thrusts by Sharpley, Neveux, and Long coupled with almost perfect blocking by Chink Passante. Pot took the ball over from the five yard line on a charge through the center of the Port Arthur line. At this juncture Clem Stonecipher was called from his end post and booted the goal that was finally the deciding point. The Port Arthur score was the result of a muifecl punt by a Bulldo back, which was recovered on the Heights 15-yard line, from which point it took six tries at the Heights line to push it over. The attempt at goal was blocked by the entire Bulldog line, so it seemed. This victory served to bring Heights to the front as contenders for district honors and did much to give the team the feeling of confidence, without which no team can hope to scale the peaks of success. Height: 2 5-jfqf Devi: 0 With the line and backfield working in perfect harmony the Bulldogs passed, plunged, and ran to a 25-o victory over the Jeff Davis Panthers. The team scored in every quarter of the game with Sharpley carrying over two of the scores and Neveux and Kivel one each. The Bulldogs played an offensive game throughout, registering 19 first downs to 6 by the Panthers. With the game in the sack, Coach Krichamer sent in his substitutes in the final quarter and it was in this period that the North Side boys made their most spirited bid for a score. Five consecutive first downs placed the ball on the Heights 20 yard line. At this point Runt Neveux rose to the occasion by intercepting a pass on the 5-yard line and taking it out to midfield before being downed. The game then ended after one more play. Credit for the victory must go to the hard fight put on by the team and the almost perfect teamwork that Coach Krichamer had drilled into the boys. fr ' '-im- bifjj ' r r - lf J if ill fr' '-------l-----e--'-- gf---- fu ...W 4 l I F1 R. l xr 4 r sell xg, 1 W 1541 lkw 1 Sc if M 1 W rf tis 'C .fi lei 1 . sc' if 'J M rl C15 I a rl fi .U 'L 7 53 5 t M 'Ya N4 J, N' ic' IA l XC, is 5 lk lx 1 ,nhl li an tx: 'xl l . -lf X ' 'i'i.WIi,'i,g5'Mr4gIgzfw?

H-, ,A r 177 1 Heiglm' Ig-- San Yarinln 0 In a hard and furiously fought game the Bulldogs took their South End rivals into camp by the im- pressive score of 19-O. The Bears fought every step of the Way, but the well-drilled and well-coached boys from the Heights would not be denied. In the line the Work of Captain Strong was a feature, as he time and again smeared South End plays before they could reach the line of scrimmage. Knight, at center' roamed far and wide, and his diagnosis of plays enabled the Hitesl ine to stop the Bear backs behind the line time after time. The Bulldogs received the opening kick-of? and marched to a touchdown without losing the ball. Plunges by Sharpley and Passante and dashes by Belanger and Neveux, mixed by short passes from Neveux to Sharpley carried the ball to the 3-yard line, from which point Belanger carried it over on a line plunge. The second score came in the last part of the first half, when Petras carried the ball over. The last score was a result of a pass from Long to Strong, who made a neat catch and then placed the ball over the line. Heights 6-Beaumont 0 Accompanied by almost a thousand rooters, the Bulldogs invaded the haunts of the Royal Purple and carried off the much coveted district championship. The game was one of the most furiously fought battles ever witnessed in South Texas, and it was the great playing of the Heights line that enabled them to gain the decision. The first halfended with a slight advantage resting With the Beaumont team, due to the brilliant passing of their quarter-back,Alford. The second half was a different story, however, for from the first scrimmage the spectators could sense the fighting fury that drove the Bulldogs on to victory. With the ball on the Heights 35-yard line and in Beaumont's possession, Knight broke through and recovered a fumble. On the next play, Long, from a running formation, passed 45 yards to Randy, who managed to spear the ball after a magnificent run and jump. He was tackled before he could recover his footing. Two line plays with Sharpley and Long carrying the ball made it first down on the Purple's 12-yard line. A short pass from Long to Sharpley gained and a plunge by Freddie made it first down on the one-foot line. Another plunge and Freddie was on the other side of the goal line with six points nestled in his arms. The attempt at goal was wide. Beaumont made desperate efforts to score through the air, but the Bulldog forwards, sensing victory, broke through time after time to smear the mighty Alford before he could get rid of the ball. In the last quarter Heights opened another powerful drive that netted five first downs and placed the ball on the home team's I2-yard line. And then the battle of the century was over! ....4 i 1 i s, 'x '. J A. iff la r F si sw' W Fil IW! all ill V rl D2 mul if lt-Il J .Lf-,- . It .rm it-3 lil ,,'Nl iii.

A at To give credit where credit is due, we must take this means of thanking Mr. Morris Miller who did such splendid work as assistant football coach last fall and during the spring training season. Mr. Miller was always read y and willing to take upon his own shoulders that work which would relieve Coach Krichamer of responsibility. We, the Staff, join the squad and the student body as a whole in thanking Mr. Miller for his very commendable work. Heights 12-Central 0 As a fitting climax to a grand and glorious undefeated season, the Bulldogs won from their down-town rivals by a score of I2-O. It was in this game that the maroon line rose to its greatest heights, smash- ing every effort of the Central backs to make gains through the for- ward wall and opening great holes for the Reagan ball-carriers to dash through. To name an outstanding player in this game would not be fair to the rest of the team, for every man was in there fightingin every play of the game. The only discouraging feature of the day was the number of fumbles made by the Heights backs in their over-anxious 'attempts to run up a large score. The first half was scoreless with the ball changing hands a great number of times. At the start of the second half Central had the ball' on the Heights 20-yard line. Dickey attempted a line plunge and fumbled, Wallace Knight recovering the ball and running 80-yards to a touchdown. Three times after that the Bulldogs carried the ball to the I5-yard line only to lose it twice on fumbles and once on an incompleted pass over the line. At the end of the fourth quarter a relentless drive by the Reaganites carried the ball to the one-yard line. With the whole Central line massed to stop a line plunge, Passante drove between left guard and tackle for the final score. It was the third successive defeat handed the Tigers by the Bulldogs and furnished a fitting climax for a great undefeated season. Carson Shorty Pitts, who was the team's mascot, trainer, and manager, proved to be of great help to the team. Shorty was always on the job with his heart set on doing his share toward the building of a championship team. Shorty has been with Heights for some time and we have yet to find fault with his work. Our heartiest wishes are for Shorty's continued presence with the team that he may carry on with his share of the work next year in building a championship team. T 'i M L -1 Bank eibpz!! A at 0 ARNOLD H. KRICHAMER Coach 9 Without a single letter man around whom tolbuilcl a team, Krichamer set in at the beginning of the year to mold a team of which the school and city as a whole should be proud. How well he succeeded is now history and part of the tradition of Heights athletics. Under Krichamer's able tutelage the squad soon caught' some of fire and enthusiasm and formed one of those teams for which the school is gmed. Clean, fighting aggressiveness yvas the quality that Krichamer taught his men but with it they learned sportsmanship. To say that Krichamer has built just a winning team would not be fair to him but it must be he has built character into his men. In that summary we have the secret. of f'Krick 's success. .Fl 9 I 9 9 I I 9 9 I . 9 9 I 9 9 I I I . 9 I I I I I I I . S I I I I OI I . I 2 I 9 I i I v . . . .

VVe are happy that H-lake will be with us again next season. ALVA CPunkj BAKER Forward '28 This tall, graceful chap is just another star that this season brought forth. Pos- sessed of a fine eye for the goal and being an excellent dribbler, he was a constant rnenace to the opposition. He could shoot from any angle and position, and with Lodge formed one of the best under- basket combinations Hites has ever had.

A F Y 5- A The .Slemon The basketball season as a whole could be called a most gratifying success, for Heights started the season without a single letter man and ended the season with a team that had failed by only one point to win the city championship. Then, too, there is the satisfaction of knowing that we should have won the championship but for certain conditions not within our power to remedy. At the beginning of the season the sports editors of every daily newspaperin Houston had consigned the Bulldogs to the cellar position. However, they failed to take into consideration a certain gentleman by the name of Krichamer, who took a squad of unseasoned men and made of them an aggregation that never knew the word quit. Heights faced many foes who were rated far above her but every time that old fighting spirit came through to win. They hung on always with a grit and determination that even exceeded the well-known bulldog grip. Two games were dropped at the beginning of the season before the boys could get the essential feel of coordination without which no team can win. These games were dropped to the Southern Pacific and Heights Alumni teams. From then on the team began to find itself and in rapid succession they beat, Clinton, Ball High of Galveston Ctwicej, Milby, St. Mary's Seminary of La Porte, the Houston Junior College, and numerous local teams. The first hard fought game of the year was that with Jeff Davis. The North Side boys got away to an early start and it looked as if we were in for a night of it. In the second half, however, it was a different story. With the score I I-5 against them, the Bulldogs fought as only a Heights team can fight and the third quarter ended I 5 all. In the last quarter Lodge and Knight each scored a free throw and Lodge a field goal, while they were holding the Panthers to a single free throw. The game ended 19-16 in favor of the Maroon and White. Next came the game with San Jacinto which proved to be the hardest and most heart- breaking of the season. In the first quarter, before the Hites Boys could find themselves in the unfamiliar court the Southenders had run up a score of 9-3. From then on out it was the Bulldogs' game for they outplayed and outscored the Golden Bears in each suc- ceeding quarter. But the Fates were against the Maroon and White that night and in spite of their gallant efforts the whistle blew with the ball rolling round and round the rim of the Hites goal only to fall the wrong way after several spectators had passed out and many women had hysterically thrown their babies out the windows to escape the tense moments. The final score was 16-I5 but it could not be sworn to until the next day when disinterested parties were called in to count the tally. The final scholastic game of the year was the annual Heights-Central battle, and battle it proved to be from start to finish. Hites managed to get away to an early lead and held it till the final whistle. The L3 game ended 27-26 after a spirited finish by the Centralites which nearly proved dis- astrous to the Reagan cause. The game was played at the Y.M.C.A. court and the Bulldogs sorely felt the difference between it and their spacious home court. This ended the official season for the team but a return game was carded with the Southern Pacihc team and was taken into camp by the tune OT48-21 ,proving Hites'superiority.The boys then went out of their class to take on the Rice Slimes and Houston School ofElectricityg both games resulted in losses, the former by only a one point margin as an opposing for- ward tossed a goal from mid-court as the whistle blew. The team gained many valuable pointers from the season of play and with eight of the ten letter men returning next year Reagan is assured of a formidable team of champion- ship calibre. Much credit is due Mr. Krichamer for his splendid work and devotion to the Heights' cause and the success of the team of this year and next year's as well is in large part due him. ,Q-U E-H e.

BACKLUND-Coach Heights was indeed fortunate in obtaining the services of Mrs. Backlund as director of girls' athletics. Her unweakening interest in the Welfare of the girls made her an in- spiration to all of her teams and classes--in fact to everyone with whom she came into contact. Mrs. Backlund this year put out one of the cleanest, hardest lighting girls' basketball teams ever known to Houston. Her desire for success at all times was equalled by her efforts to maintain true sportsmanship. Her winning smile has many times en- couraged the girls on to victory when defeat seemed near. Much credit for the success of the team is due Mrs. Backlund and our hats are off to her! RosA DEUTSCH-CQidi7Z The squad certainly showed rare judgment in the selection of their leader. Rosa easily won the respect and admiration of her teammates, and at all times her playing was a goal for the others to struggle for. The outstanding plays of the team were the brilliant passing combinations of the Deutsch twins-Rosa and Elizabeth. With her splendid example before the rest of the team, Rosa was an inspiration to greater heights. It was a beautiful sight to watch Rosy work the ball down to her forwards and give them an opportunity to score. Her graduation will cause Heights to lose a sterling player and a model captain. KJ ELIZABETH IDEUTSCH ffuzvzping Center ,27 To speak of the qualities of one twin expresses the qualities of the other. Liz- zie's fight and grit as well as her ability as a jumping center won for her a place on the hrst team. The Lizzie-halfw of the twin-ship seemed to have carried the kin-ship into basketball. LOUISE XVALLA Forward '27g Czzplain-Elect '28 Louise's quiet and cool-headed work coupled with her ability as a basketball player made her the outstanding Player on the squad. Her splendid goal-tossing enabled her to carry off high scoring honors in practically every game in which she played. Her qualities of leader- ship won for her the honor of captaincy for next year. A I . A -9 , fi! HELEN TOM LIN Guard 727 Helen was a steady, dependable player and her constant qualities made her worthy of her HW At all times her in- tense interest in the game and her zealous playing made her a player to be reckoned with. Her graduation in June makes another worry for Mrs. Backlund, but we know that Helen will find a regular place on some college team. XVILMA BUNTING Guard ,27 Wlilma proved to be one of the best guards on the team from the very first of the season. Her determination, Hne head- work and reasoning were the features of her brilliant guarding which was so free from fouling. Wilma also graduates in June and leaves another gap to be filled. -as.

Her Fight was an inspiration. CHRISTINE FITZGERALD Forward ,27 Chris was the other half of the second pair of sisters on the Hrst team. Her en- thusiasm and will to win made her a splendid player and sent the team far on the road toward the championship. Chris' Crip shots and team work with Louise Wlalla were unbeatable and went far to- ward running up the high scores.

Helen was a good shot but her strongest forte was to feed the ball to the other forward who was closer to the basket. LOUISE HICKEY Iblanagcr 727 Louise was the brainsH of the team, handling all the business affairs of the team and arranging that part ofthe work which would ordinarily fall on the coach, thereby taking some of her time from the team play. l.ouise is to be congratulated on her splendid success, for the end of the season showed a credit and allowed the buying of sweaters for the team. .Wk i - in as The Seaman The Reagan girls' basketball team, the first in the history of the school, had a very successful season. The girls played fourteen gamesgwon ten, lost two, tied two. In the final game of the season the Reagan basketeers fought Milby to a tied score for the city championship. In one of the most memorable games of the season the Bulldogs won over the Houston Junior College sextet by a score of 26-25. The girls were at their height in this game which was featured by the fine passing of the Reagan forwards and splendid all around, team-work of the squad. The girls started the season off' with a game with the experienced C. L. Bering team. Due to the fact that the Heights girls were playing the first game of their career, they were forced to bow to a close score. The girls showed that they were inexperienced but displayed a fight and enthusiasm that was destined to carry them far in the race for city championship honors. Later in the season they again played the C. L. Bering girls and defeated them by a score of I 5-8. The squad has good reason to believe the old superstition about Friday I3tl'1, for on that date they traveled to Waller, Texas, to meet that team. On the way there the cars which carried the girls had some thirteen blow-outs and one of the cars overturned into a ditch. Two of the best players were injured but the girls determined to go on to Waller and win. Their confidence was not upset in the least and they won by a score of I8-I 5. On January 25 they again met the Waller team, this time at the Reagan gym, and once more the Wallerites came out on the short end of the score of 37-20. Other teams to go down before the strong opposition of the Heights girls were Humble, Clinton, Jeff Davis, Milby, Howard Service Station, and Junior College. The Reagan team played two games with the Jeff Davis squad and defeated the Panther-ettes both times, thus eliminating them from the title race. The girls from the North Side proved to be a hard fighting team, but the Reaganites displayed the grit and determination for which they were noted and came to the fore. In three hard fought games with the Milby team for the city championship Heights was defeated the first time, but won the second. In the final and deciding game the two teams fought on a par all the way and the game ended in a tie. Since the rules for girls' basketball do not call for an extra period in case of a tie, it was decided to call the race a draw. lik! A A mck KJ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Il!

This is perhaps the reason that Heights has always had a good track team and always will as long as Turner coaches. A firm believer in hard work for con- ditioning purposes, Turner is always willing to take his medicine with the squad and for that reason they love him. Many coaches would give their right arms to have between them and their men the feeling that luinds Turner with his men, and many would give both arms to know as much about track as he. A former ABL M. man Turner has conveyed to his men the spirit of the corps that keeps them fighting to the tape. 4 H- 1 lRA HAHN Captain Big hearted, a sturdy trainer, a graceful athlete, and a gentleman, such is Ira Hahn. One ofthe best middle distance men to ever carry the Maroon and White,Ira made his second letter this year. Besides his activities on the track team he was also on the cross-country team where he shone at the long grind. Ira could always be depended on to bring home some points and his mates caught some of his conhdence in such a manner as to give them that in- creased confidence which goes so far in the make-up of a good track man. Ira gave his best to the team and the squad, realizing the fact,gave their best in turn. ln losing Ira Heights, gives up a man whois destined to make some college a Fine runner. V i 1 l The .Simson VVith the close of the cross-country season, Coach Joseph Turner showed some of the splendid foresight and knowledge of the coaching game for which he is noted, by starting the boys right off on a training schedule designed to keep them in the fine physical con- dition in which they were at the time. This bit of rare judgment gave Reagan the jump on the other schools of the city in the training season, for by the time that the other schools had started their preliminary warming-up exercises, Heights was well on the way toward mid-season form. Since the boys were already inspired by the spirit of victory which resulted from their overwhelming victory in the city cross-country meet, they were ready to tackle anything in the way ofa track team. Pre-season warm-ups gave Coach Turner a good idea of the material on hand and with the first meet of the year presented a team which was well-balanced in every de- partment. The Bulldogs were particularly strong in the distance and middle distance runsg Captain Hahn running the half, and cross-country Captain Roberts running the mile. Both men held records in their specialties, and were determined to increase their monopoly along that line during the season to come. Another star from the year before was Albert Bacarisse in the IOO and 220 yard dashes. Abie also made a splendid man for the mile relay team and excelled at broad-jumping. Humble, Central, Milby and Jeff Davis were the first teams to fall before the rush of the Reagan speedsters in dual meets. Thus having done away with local opposition the Bulldog thinly-clads started out to conquer rivals from abroad. The Rice Relays offered the Bulldogs a chance to meet the cream of the high school track men of Texas. Such a chance was not to be scoffed at and the boys showed their mettle by placing men in several events. Next came the city eliminations in the run-off for district honors. The Reagan boys placed eleven men in the qualifying round, but since the meet was not for team compe- tition but individual work, the meet honors could not be claimed. . ,Q cr' 'H fra . , I :Ml xl A-. - 'l.H,QL.m. Y., V. -Y-Mr 5- ?i'f'ZY, . . Next in line came the Piney Woods meet at Nacogdoches, the first out-of-town meet. Coach Turner took his boys to that meet to show their stuff. They were a trifle unsteady at their first appearance away from their old stamping grounds, but managed to calm down a little before the meet. The fleet quartet composed of White, Moulden, Bacarisse, and Kuritza who ran the mile relay showed their heels to the crowd and copped the race in fast time, setting a new record. They were presented with a. handsome loving cup symbolic of victory in that event The team as a whole placed second in the meet against the pick of Texas scholastic stars. At this time Abie Bacarisse was laid up for the balance of the season with a pulled ligament, and Shorty Roberts went out for a time with enlargement of the heart. This doomed the chances for the team in the rest of the meets, for these two men were good for fifteen points between them in any man's meet. Five men survived the district meet and went to the state tourney but met with adverse conditions in the meet for only one man could place, Clem Stonecipher placed second in the javelin. The track season came to a close with the annual city meet in which there was such spirited competition that only a few points separated the three leaders. Due to the ab- sence Of a couple Of men and the injury to Bacarisse Heights failed by less than two points to cop mnner-up honors. Much credit for the splendid showing of the team must be given to Coach Turner and Captain Hahn who labored long and earnestly in the building of a real team. - The Squad JOSEPH TURNER. . . . . . .Coach IRA HAHN ...... . . .Captain JOE NEvEUx ..... . . . ............. ffavelin JAMES MOULDEN ...... . . .Broad jump and relay CLEM STONECIPHER .... . . . ........... favelin RANDOLPH STRONG .... . . . .Hurdles WILLARD NESMITH .... ........

D ireus A it Cmrf Cammy Shortly after the opening of the fall term Coach Turner put out a call for candidates for the cross-country team. About thirty men answered the call and started training for the long grind. After two weeks the squad had diminished somewhat and intense training was undertaken. Among the most promis- ing candidates at this time were Shorty Roberts and Ira Hahn. The boys found it hard to keep in strict training at all times with the big meet still months away, but they always gritted their teeth and came back for moreg so when the time came they were in fine physical trim. In the two dual meets of the year Jeff Davis and the Rice Freshmen fell before overwhelming scores. Then came the city meet in which the Heights boys came through in fine fashion to take championship honors. Reagan men took nine of the first ten places in competition with men from all local schools. To Coach Turner and Captain Roberts whose flying feet led every race goes much credit for the successful season. Shorty's wonderful record is one of which the school may be proud, for he decisively showed his superiority in every race. .v, 4 1 V , L' V , f' ,, -.

Oxford, Harvard, Princeton-one after another you will hnd a wor- thy printer near at hand. Rice Institute is no exception! Scarcely had Rice taken her de- served place among educational leaders before it became apparent to quality-minded folk that here too-in the shadow of a great university-there had gathered together in one organization a group of men whose chief desire was to do good printing excep- tionally Well. And so, from the very beginning, Rice Institute and her students have automatically turned to this establishmentwknovving that the quality of the printing would in all Ways measure up to the ideals of their institution.

Since their first official appearance the Red Coats have been a feature of every football and basketball game. Their shrill rooting and general all around enthusiasm has been of the greatest inspiration to the members of the football and basketball teams. Then too the girls have not just limited themselves to rooting at the games but they have done much toward the organization of parties, entertainments, and banquets honoring the players of the home team and their visitors. This generosity on the part of the Red Coats has done much toward prompting a spirit of good feeling between the members of the teams. , Ask Krichamer who it is that responds with a will when there is any work at all to do. Ask him who it is that sells all the tickets. VVho put on one of most successful plays of the year and cleared over a hundred dollars which was donated to a fund for the equipping of the band with uniforms? VVhen there is something to be done and no one to do it, who comes through with a will and does 1t?' Let's appreciate what these girls have done, are planning to do, and are doing. They are an organization of which the school should be proud. They were the first to organize a pep-squad and in so doing have brought honor and credit to the name of Heights. Let's appreciate that fact.
