. ES . I LAiiP1'Qg-WYA 1 The N ike Club NCE upon a time, a club by the name of Nike, meaning Victory, was organized by the students of Laredo High. All of this happened in the year of 1919, and it was brought about by Miss Josephine Smith, then a teacher in Laredo High School. The first members chose for their colors, green and gold, for their flower, the Marchal. Neil Rose, and for their motto, No Laurels without Laborn. The cup has been kept by the Nike club all but two years, and now it is the ambition of the members to keep the cup, and make it theirs permanently. It is through the hard work and steady guidance of the club 's advisor, Miss Mary Francis Doss, that the girls have kept the club up to its high standard. One day, the girls decided to elect their mascot, Betty Ruth Wade, a true little Nike member. The girl members of the club are a peppy and lively crowd and always work hard for the honor and glory of the word, Nike . TOP ROW:-K. Aldridge, H. Ancira, M. Anderson, B. Biggio, B. Bryan, L.
