Main Avenue High School - El Sombrero Yearbook (San Antonio, TX)

Text from Pages 1 - 212 of the 1919 volume:

I 15he EDITED BY THE Class of June 1919 MAIN AVENUE HIGH SCHOOL SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS Jforetoovb Kind Reader, in this book With patience deign to look, For on the pages here Our hopes and aims appear, And hints of all we’ve done Or thought of, or begun! For ten long years We’ve known the fears That erring students all must know, Who up the Road to Knowledge go— That rocky road where many fall, And many stumble, and not all Can climb. And we have won, And now behold our own Our rising Sun! ! Good-bye Main High! And wre shall try In other ways And other climes To honor you and your good times! Then take this book, We’ve writ for you, And tho we part We still love you! Hjts Annual ts Sebtcateb To those who were Boys of old High School, Who have gone from our sight—for a time; Who passed from this grade of Life’s lessons To the light of the Region Sublime— The Boys who, when called to the colors, Gave for home and country, their best, Who left us a pattern of courage, The Boys who so bravely went West! Artistic, honored structure, dark and old. Half-hid among the many trees that try With their dense leaves to hide from every eye The beauty of your front, so grim and bold. In pictures only do we know you now. For you have vanished into dust by now, And in your ashes now a larger kind Of nobler structure tries to take your place And imitate your soft, old-fashioned grace! For thirty years, or more, you reigned supreme And cast on all the town the white, bright beam Of your intelligence! Your kind Of beauty now, indeed, is hard to find! 8 J. S. M. Belrold! This mass of cold, grey stone! Majestic, bold, and seemingly alone, It stands apart! Here beats the Heart, Here lives the ruling brain of Main! Here’s the assembly hall of dazzling white, Where the orchestras blare forth to our delight. Here great men speak on many a wondrous thing. Here do we cheer them on, or loudly sing! The office, is this tiny room, ’Tis quiet as some ancient tomb— For here the pink slips come and go In an unending, awful flow! Here students paint the trees and sky— Is dedicated to Art. This room, upon the roof perched high. Each paints what most delights his heart! Beneath—deep roots the music of this place, Here harmonies in perfect grace— On violins, or other strings—keep pace With the choruses of boys—in tuneful race! Full many a room holds glories hard to tell, Tho we don’t love these studies very well. Here grim typewriters wildly tap away. Or shorthand “sharks” take notes all day. Here Latin flows, here orators orate, Or Physiology fills many a pate! There Physics, Botany and Chemistry. The “Huisache’’ office—and now last and best— Our Matron’s rooms of peace and sleep and rest! Nay, hold! What odor fills the halls? The Cafeteria to dinner calls! So runs the order of the day. And none are sad and all are gay! 9 A noisy, noisy building tho thou art. From you it’s hard, it’s hard, indeed, to part Your four large study-halls, where no one tries To study—very much—but winks his eyes And listens what his neighbor has to say. Drive all such foolish thoughts as studying away. And what a rendezvous you library To lovers sure must be; For here they wander beneath a dreamy look. To meet a girl, and not to read a book. Your upper wings contain some pleasant things Tall building! French is one! And Soild Geom! and Trigonom! And English, hard to comprehend. While just helow does Spanish lend Its deep, beguiling tone. Long-drawn out Civics and great History Give also of their eloquence, To lead the student in a trance Of kind good humor, into virtue’s ways That he may prosper all his days. .T. s. M. In this fast moving age. most men Should know some trade or art, for then They’re fixed to combat life’s Vicissitudes and strifes! And so the humbler kinds of trades are taught! As well as those pure cultural ones taught! This entertaining building, sounds all day The buzz-saws wail, the anvils beat Where Carpenters and young Blacksmiths compete To make the loudest noise they may. Woodworkers and Machinists also learn A house to build, or useful tool to turn! And on the second floor, we draw The most artistic things you ever saw! Artistic columns, pillars, and machines, Or furniture to which your fancy leans! And just across, whence comes that smelly fume, Does Chemistry the students’ minds illume! Plane Geometry and Algebra close by Give pains to hearts and tears to many an eye! ! Above such manly arts as these. On the third floor, the stranger sees The housewives of the future sew On the machines, or stitch by hand. And cook, (and learn to wash dishes, too) Such powers of love are these that they command! They know the value of a well maked pie, Or prim, neat dress—to catch a lover’s eye! This building, somehow seems the Home of Love, The young men work below. And the young women work above! J. S. M. II Uncouth, and rough, old wooden “shack” We who have known you. wish that you wfere back That we might knock the knot holes out again. From your brown walls, and in the halls Run up and down to hear the floor Creak, groan and tremble more and more! You were a mass of worn-out lumber then. Yet in your rooms gaunt knowledge stalked the same; Here English flowed, and stately History. And Algebra, and sweet Geometry, And Physics and blessed Chemistry! A strip of gravel is the only spot That now reminds us of you. oh. forgot Forsaken, rustic Hall of Fame! ! J. S. M. 12 The San Antonio High School does not have a sieve at its door through which only the finer grades of society can pass. It is not the skimmer of the “cream” of the community. All its activities are consecrated to Mass and not to Class instruction. Its facilities are within the reach of all the children, of all the people old enough for High School, whether prepared for it or not. Its business is not to equip the elect exclusively, but to train the dull pupil as well as the bright one, to extend opportunities to the handicapped as well as to speed the advancement of the fortunate. Its policy is not to emphasize the fitness of pupils for the High School, but fitness of High School for its pupils. 16 While the Main Ave. High School stands for high scholarship among its pupils, it stands also for something still better, namely high character. Its aim is the development of those attributes that make the boy or girl possessing them a valuable addition to human society. The school seeks to prepare each student not only for his future career but to live efficiently the life he is living at the present time. May each one of the pupils of Main Avenue find his true place in the stream of life and use that place for the betterment both of himself and of society in general. 17 With a school which ranks as one of the most progressive and democratic in the country, and which can boast of more activities under student control than any other High School in the South, let us continue to promote the progress of our school until it stands second to none Let us take even more interest in our club and community activities; let us participate in moi’e inter-club, and inter-school contests, with an enthusiasm which manifests our passion in the pursuit of a laudable object. With such enthusiasm, not only shall we be spurred on to more and greater victories; but, failing, we shall come to the full realization that defeat is only a stepping stone to ultimate success. is % ] ) Jfacult p Mr. Frederick Abbott.

A bright, golden red shone on the horizon Of Old Main High, And a promise of a greater class blazoned forth In our school’s sky. At the dawning of our June Nineteen; For on that glorious day last September when our sun Rose o’er the Hill. No cloud marked our Dawning, nor is There now, nor will— At the dawning of our June Nineteen. II. Our Morning. Our sun mounted higher and higher as the autumn And winter flew by, And our radiance grew brighter and brighter as None can deny, In the morning of our June Nineteen; For we bathed the whole school in our Sunshine of pep. And the classes that follow us will have Learned to keep step— In the morning of our June Nineteen. m. Our Evening. In the month of Febr’ary, our sun had quite Reached its midday, And it shone forth more prominent, its Warmth to convey. In the evening of our June Nineteen; To the school as a whole, for the fog of the morning Had cleared all away, And our rays of sunshine could be seen everywhere, And everyone gay— In the evening of our June Nineteen. IV. Our Sunset. And now as our red sun reposes in the west, We are sinking. Behind the purple horizon of our graduation, —We are thinking. At the sunset of our June Nineteen; What a glorious and wonderful day We’ve spent here, But there in the east, behold! the Feb. Twenty Rainbow so clear— At the sunset of our June Nineteen. ROLAND F. DAVIES. Class $Gem On this occasion, solemn and sublime, When we leave friends and High School for all time, Tho we may smile and play a happy part. Beneath our smiles there’s something near our heart, A kind of pride, and lofty, sweet surmise That lifts us nearer Heaven’s open skies! We are content in all we’ve done, and proud Exulting in selp-praises, long and loud! Yet still remains that HOPE in secret known— Making us wonder, when we all are grown, SHALL we accomplish what we HOPE to do, And shall our inmost hopes come true? Some of us hope to win and hold Honors and glories manifold. Others, more sensible than these, Wish only for the things that please Their hearts that are humble and content— On Love, and Health, and Comfort bent. And still we do no harm in aiming high! For only sightless souls can die— People who live for the things that are best Can neither honor or ignore the rest! For in their love they’re truly blest! This is first love’s month, for ’tis May, Honor and dear rriends await us today! For this is the hour Of our triumph and power— We have climbed up the long, long stair— Step by step, year by year, Term by term, year by year, And at last on the summit fair We joyful, exultantly stand— And as far as we see we command! We shall own all we see, All the land, all the sea, (The Alamo City will become ours, And we shall push Texas ahead,) Our city, State, Nation, And all of creation, If we but fight for them, are ours! So who can not say We are victors today— For we’ve fought to the top Of our school-days and stop Only to see what we’ve done Before plunging forward and on To become useful citizens all— Progressive and honest, to answer the call Of the world, for good men And virtuous women!!

FREDERICK ABBOTT MISS NORMA OWEN. MAJOR JACK BURKE. There are four people to whom the June 1919 Class is very greatly indebted, and to whom the class wishes to extend it’s sincerest thanks and to express it’s deep gratitude for the invaluable work they did to make the play, The Maid and the Middy, the great success that it was. These four are, Major Jack Burke, Miss Norma Owen, Professor Abbott and Miss Marjorie Winters. On the shoulders of Major Burke rested the greatest responsibility and it was he who whipped the show together and put in all the dance and formations. Miss Owen directed the music and of course anything Miss Owen directs is sure to be a success. It was but another proof of her ability in that line. All credit for the way in which the speaking parts were enacted to Mr. Abbott and the class thanks him for the time he devoted to that hard task. Miss Winter’s work was varied but never the less invaluable. She coached, prompted and sometimes substituted for an absent character and she deserves much credit for the way in which she performed all her duties. 73 75 Class “J£oob $age” The most popular....

The Main Avenue Athletic Association was founded by Sam Emmett and Mr. Burleson for the promotion of athletics of every kind. It’s first meeting was held in February, when plans to interest the whole student body in athletics were made. Boxing and wrestling filled each Thursday from then until the baseball season opened. Thirty-nine individual bouts, and several wrestling tie-ups were held. Much talent was brought out. Brackenridge High School and San Antonio Academy refused our challenge for a bixing tournament. Our membership reaches one hundred. Tennis, track, and all field e ents are our interests. Major Burke deserves our great thanks for the boxing gloves and other material he gave us. Among the good boxers produced are: Carson, Dibrell, Davenport, Huber, Burleson, Haber and Padgett. Our good wrestlers are: Ratcliffe, Coulter, Parks, Lentz, and New- man. Considering this is the first year for gymn work at High, it has been a big success. IBasket J?aU Main High Wins Championship in the Southwestern Interscholastic League. The Basket Ball team of Main Avenue High School wound up a snappy season of sport, with a hard won victory over the Eagle Pass team. This game proved to be the hardest game of the season, and although Main High came home victorious, the Eagle Pass men showed themselves to be true sportsmen, treating our boys pricely. The Main boys will never forget the “joy trip” as they are fond of calling it. Another important game not soon to be forgotten was one played with our greatest rival, Brackenridge High. This game was played on an indoor court at the Y. M. C. A. Here Main met defeat and like Eagle Pass showed to the entire student body what kind of “stuff” they are made of. Main, too, can meet defeat with a grin. After this hard game it must be remembered that Brackenridge would not consent to a return game. “WE WONDER WHY?” The Basket Ball Team has made a record for clean, wholesome sports. The team has played as a unified body, and in this was found the strength of the team. It is true that the entire team were stars in the eyes of the students, but most noticeable among these were the captain, Albert Brient, playing center, Cotton Wendland, forward; “Kaiser” Gotwald, Jack Evans, guard, and Thad Mackley, guard. To the excellent work of these men, and to the untiring efforts of their coach, Mr. Shelton, do we owe the much envied and prized position held by Main High School in the Southwestern Interscholastic League. 126 IBastotmU Ceam BASKETBALL SCORES Main ..................... 42 Main ..................... 28 Main ..................... 15 Main ..................... 26 Main ..................... 23 Main ..................... 24 Main ..................... 10 Main ...................... 8 Main ..................... 22 Main ..................... 44 Main ..................... 58 No. 28...................... 15 No. 17....................... 6 Academy ..................... 9 No. 17....................... 9 West Texas.................. 14 St. Mary’s ................. 23 Brackenridge ............... 36 Cuero ...................... 19 Pleasanton .................. 7 Coker ....................... 0 Eagle Pass ................. 14 i Totals 300 152 WILL ROB BRIGGS Coach .1.

By all means it was a success, both financially and athletically. The Main students backed the team from the bottom of their hearts, and were an important factor in the success of the nine. Furthermore tags were sold for every game and the school went ‘over the top’ almost every time. As for the season itself, it was exceedingly successful, and most of the credit is due to the untiring efforts of our young coach. Will Rob (Heavy) Briggs, who built up a powerful baseball machine with almost entirely new and inexperienced material. Talk about an awkward squad -—heavy had it at the beginning of the season. Why some of the fellows thought that a baseball was some:hing to eat. and only two of them had played on Main's 1918 team. The task of turning out a winning team looked aimost hopeless, especially as Main got such a late start. But gradually the team became moulded into a one-man. powerful machine that grew stronger with every game it played, and at the close of the season Briggs had a team that was easily on an equal with any school team in the city. And this year. Main accomplished a feat that had never been done in any form of athletics before—namely, that of defeating Brackenridge in the annual baseball classic between the two schools. Unfortunately. this report goes to press before the final Main-Brackenridge game, but we can confidently predict another Main victory with any kind of luck happening. Main’s entry into the interscholastic league necessitated our playing eight games, two with Peacock. St. Louis. Academy, and Brackenridge respectively. Six of these games have been played, and Academy forfeited the seventh game so only the Brackenridge game remains to be played. Of these six games Main took four, two from St. Louis (which team incidentally beat Peacock), one from Academy and the other Academy game was awarded to us through forfeiture, and the other from the South Side High. The two games lost were to Peacock, the league winner, but we can find consolation in the fact that Peacock twice defeated Brackenridge also, and by larger scores than she beat us. The close of the season finds Main in possession of second place, a game behind Peacock. The season opened March 30 with Main battling Peacock way out at Peacock. Bartlett McMellan. our reliable and sensational hurler, never was in better form. He held Peacock helpless throughout, and but four safeties were registered ofT his delivery, but errors by his team mates, which incidentally cost us the second Peacock game as well as the first, caused Main’s downfall. Bill Phillips, the freshman wonder, and “Skeets” Cotulla. whose fielding and hitting as well as his good judgment were features of almost every game, did the heavy hitting for Main, totaling more hits than the whole Peacock team combined. Phillips securing two safeties and Cotulla three. The game was a heartbreaker from the very beginning when a muffed fly donated Peacock a run till the last inning when two Main athletes whiffed the ozone with the bases occupied and standing room only. Instead of being disheartened. Main tore into St. Louis four days later, and snatched a sure Collegian victory out of the fire. For six innings Main batted in vain, failing to register a single safe hit, while St. Louis, again taking advantage of errors, had scored three times. In the seventh hits by Gottwald, Cotulla, and 132 Conoly, preceded by two walks enabled Main to push four tallies over the pan. and eke out a 4 to 3 victory. Honors in this game go to Conoly and McMellan. The former smashed out Main’s only real hit of the game and sent Cotulla in with the winning run. while McMellan pitched his second four hit game of the week and fanned ten of the Collegians. Encouraged by the victory over St. Louis. Main entertained Academy at Brack-enridge Park and allowed them to get eight of the 19 runs furnished. The game was a loose affair and was a slugging match from the whistle. Main poling out 15 swats while Academy registered safe hits 14 times. Both McMellan and Cartwright had an off day. and were hit with the greatest of ease. But though the pitchers were taking things easy, the batters were taking everything easier still, and every player fattened his batting average considerably. Phillips and Cotulla with three hits apiece and Gottwald and Conoly with a brace each, led Main’s contingent, and the other five rapped out safeties also. The game was excellent batting practice, as was evidenced by the next game. The eagerly awaited Brackenridge game was next, and the South Siders were sure of a victory. But they forgot that we had out in center field 300 pounds of the hardest hitting baseball flesh on the market in the mold of “Hippo” Ebert Meredith, who left his peaceful bandit-infested home in the mountains of West Texas to learn the manly art of baseball, and incidentally to pick up enough Latin and Trig, to paralyze his home town when he went back. This aforementioned hero, who heretofore was considered only good enough to stop passed balls, jarred many hundred Brack, enthusiasts and at the same time endeared himself in the hearts of twice that many Mainers, when he pulverized the pill with the bases condensed and enabled Main to vanquish her deadly rival in the most spectacular “Horatio Alger” finish that has ever been recorded in the books. This terrific drive showed Mrs. Meredith’s son to be the only real and original Akhoond of Swat, and carved his name heavily in the Hall of Baseball Fame. “Hippo” may never be President of this great and glorious country but it’s a cinch he’d stand an excellent chance if only the Main High students could vote. From obscurity, Meredith arose to a name as common and as much talked about as a breakfast food. And nc wonder! The game itself was a whirlwind affair—Brackenridge securing a runaway lead at the start, and by the 4th inning the score was 6 to 1 against us and Brack was delirious with joy. But Main started rallying and in the seventh with the score 7 to 4 against us, McMellan, who runs close to Meredith in the role of hero, brought the Mainites to their feet when he cracked a double in to deep left with three on the stations and tied the count. Brack came back with a vengeance in the eighth and seemingly sewed up the affair with two runs, making it 9 to 7 with the larger number resting by their name. But in that never-to-be-forgotten ninth, “Hippo” showed the crowd how it’s done in his part of the country, and sent mighty Brack, down in the dust of defeat with his big buldgeon. 'Nuff said on this subject. Either because their heads were warped by the last victory or else ole man Jinx took a hand in the game, but anyway let is suffice to say that the Main Avenue team took turns in making errors and allowing Peacock to roll up tallies easier than it is to “cut class” at school. With two men deceased in the primaries, Gottwald threw the third Peacock batter’s grounder into the San Antonio River, and then the trouble started. When the dust from booted balls and wild throws had settled, five pairs of Peacockian feet had dented the home rubber, and the game was already near to the “lost” column. But not satisfied with donating five runs to the West End crowd. Main kept making errors and begging Peacock to score almost. And Peacock, being nice and polite, kindly accepted Main’s hospitality and DID score—in fact they scored right and left, and had it not been for McMellon’s remarkable pitching, the Collegians would still be circling the paths. But Bartlett was invincible as far as hits go, and he fanned the opposition easier and sooner Ilian his team mates erred. Peacock bats swung thrice and were tossed into discard, and had Main fielded like McMellan pitched. Peacock might have gotten men as far as second base but it’s doubtful. The only bright spot in the game aside from Bartlett’s phenomenal hurling was the hitting of Meredith. Yep—they say lightning never strikes twice in the same place but “Hippo” broke this theory by driving out two more long hits, proving himself to be a satellite of the first water. Though Peacock had cinched the championship by verdict of her victory over Main, still we decided that second place is better than none at all, and proceeded to hand St. Louis the first and only kalsomine coating of the season. Bartlett McMellan pitched his sixth straight game and never was in better form. St. Louis, flushed with a victory over Peacock, being the only team that was able to lower that school’s colors, was absolutely powerless before McMellan’s dazzling pitching and secured but two measly bingles. At no time was the thin High School hurler in danger and he retired the Collegians with dreadful regularity and monotony. Up to the seventh inning. Bart had a no-hit game to his credit but St. Louis hit safely in the seventh and ninth. On the other hand Main herself wasn’t tearing the covers off the balls. She secured but three hits—a trile by Cotulla. a double by Conoly. and a single by Meredith—but aided for once by costly errors. Main was able to push five runs across the pan. As had been said. Academy realized that hitting against McMellan was a non-essential occupation, and forfeited the last game t ous. And the Main-Bracken-ridge game is yet to be played, so the St. Louis game is the last one recorded. A glance at our record for the six games is interesting. P. W. L.

TEXAS. APRIL 23. 1919 No. 10 Main High Defeats Brackenridge HOTTEST GAME OF SEASON In the Ninth Inning, With the the Bases Full, Two Men Out and the Score 9 to 7, “Hippy” Knocks Home Run. Who said Main had lost all its school spirit? Thursday afternoon the whole school, even the janitors, turned oui on masse” to Potchernick’s Diamond to watch Main battle Brackenridge in the annual baseball classic between the two schools, and their enthusiasm was well rewarded, for everyone who went to the Ramc had the enjoyment of seeing Main vanquish its rival by a score of 11 to 9, and incidentally, all had the privilege of either watching free-for-all fights or indulging in them personally. Excitement? Oh, no, jus , pure, intense rivalry that culminated in frequent fistic encounters, all of which are proof of the intense, but good-natured rivalry that exists between the two high schools. Anyway, that game will long be remembered by all. especially the lucky ones who are nursing black eyes at the present time, for it was a rip-snorting, thrilling, nip and tuck affair that was worth going miles to see. For three long hours the two rivals went at it, hammer and tong, and treated each ■‘ther's pitchers with total disregard. Every game has its hero, and the lucky Main player to break into the Hall of Fame this time was no other than •'Hippo' Ebert Meredith, the graceful, heavyweight center-fielder of Main Avenue squad, who broke the jinx that Brack, has had on us in athletics in the ninth inning with the bases full, two men out. and the score 9 to 7 against us, and also broke a few strings on a perfectly good ball when he “lost” the pill in deep left, and ambled slowly around the bases, preceded by 3 of his team-mates. Did Main’s rooters get delirious with joy. Did they? I’ll say they did! They even went as far as endangering their lives by lifting the deserving Meredith on their shoulders and parading around the field with him, which incidentally is some job. And when with two Brackenridge men down and Chowning on second. Cotulla, our brainy shortstop.

June 19ers begin to count the days till gi'aduation. Boys adopt l'esolutions of regret for trying to deci’ease the freshman population of Main. Jeffs and Haynes both hold ban- quets at night. Being a Congress-er, I didn’t go to either but they tell me that John Dibrell “spiked” the punch at the Jeff blow-out. and Jimmie Baker tried to embrace everyone at the Hayne banquet. Looks suspicious for a di-y town. Feb. 4—Football team celebrates a most “successful” season with a banquet. Girls supply the “feed” and get worn out bringing trays of food to “Hippo” and “Bones.” “If he could play like he can ear —” Team drowns the sorrows of past season in milk, and drinks (the same) to a successful next yeai All stop eating when I come up.

Too many speeches—I got too hungry. Who went around the North Loop? Harry Johnson left us and wrent up to some “well-known” dancery, as he didn’t get enough at the banquet Feb. 13—Feb. 19s receive diplomas—65 of ’em. Huh—we got more officers than they have members. A bunch of us “wild, daring youths” got over to one side and gave them a farewell cheering, especially Kitty Alex. Feb. 14—Philomatheans honor a graduate with party at the Only One and Original Mexican Eaterie. Sim Kelly gave a swell toast, but I found the original in Ward’s “After Dinner Toasts.” Give him credit for learning it tho’ I couldn’t cipher the first line. Feb. 18—Even our Faculty is becoming imbued with the spirit of Spring. They got St. Valentinish and entertained the Faculty of the South Side High with a St. Vitus dance or Valentine party, I forget which. Gee—who would ha’ thought that the Facultiers were human. Why, Doc Pessels himself, the noted exponent of the art of reading nine 600-paged books, 17 Century model, in three days, and likewise the only L. L. D. or whatever you call ’em, who can make the simplest question in the world sound like an argument between William G.

And gentle Miss Wyatt, who would apologize to a snake’s family for killing said snake, even tho’ in self-defense, smoked the most powerful cigarets obtainable, and cut loose with a string of language that would make a plumber seem like a preacher, and even shocked yours truly. ’Twas a wild evening. Feb. 21—Nat Washer tells us ali about a guy named Washington. I never met him, but imagine I should like to—he never told a lie, so me and him is two of a kind. Enjoyed the assembly immensely— it took up three hours. Feb. 19—Class gives its play, “Meerly Mary Ann.” It was pretty good, only Bill Brady must have learned to make love with the aid of a correspondence school. And Staacke couldn’t make that monocle behave. Feb. 26—The rest of the school got tired of watching us do every-classes. Freshies are the first to take the risk and organize. Wallace Brennan succeeds in getting himself elected president. That bird could argue the Kaiser into believing that he started the war. Hats off to the Freshies. Feb. 27—Sophs take the cue from the Freshies and do a little organizing themselves. Looks like “railroading”—another Congresser elected president of a class. Cul-lum urleson, you and Wallace ought to tip Jack Woodcock. Sophs get energetic and want a dance to begin with—it’s a wild bunch. Jack. Feb. 28—We went up to that big metropolis, Cuero, and tried to For goodness sake—eat RICHTERS Big Dandy Bread — the taste tells the tale 107 ESTABLISHED 1878 E. Hertzberg Jewelry Co. CORNER HOUSTON AND ST. MARY'S STS. SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS Hertzberg's Corner At the Sign of the Clock show that crowd how to play basket-ball, but it appears that some other bunch had already shown them, because when the smoke cleared they had the big end of a 21-to-ll score. Johnny Ogden falls for a Cueroess and tries to get married. And the rest of the bunch stowed away enough food t omortgage the Last Cura Bank. Much obleeged, Cuero. Worth While Girls present “Catching Clara,” a comedy in 3 acts, a bunch of parts, and 26 pretty girls. Can’t say much for the acting but the “scenery” in the different girls’ rooms was excellent. Johnnie wanted to see it over again. Harry Johnson was simply extemporaneous in “longs ’ and a regular mustache, and Marjorie Winters beat Houdini when it came to getting out of a box. Mar. 3—Herbert Oliver of the Congress, and Helena Trice of the Phils are respective winners in declamations try-outs. Helena spoke on “World Progress and Peace,” and Herbie wrestled with the same line of chatter. Joe Katz and Jimmie Graves chosen to represent Main in debate. Congress and Hayne united for once. If talking can win debates, Joe oughta have a cinch, cause he’s quiet only when he’s unconscious. Mar. 5—Just my luck—assembly for girls only this morn. Principal speaker was Miss Jones, head nurse at Camp Travis. For once in their lives all the girls got to sit down. I guess it was a good assembly—I ehard lots of clapping (or maybe it was deep breathing.! Mar. 6—Charles Crowe of Hayne and Harry Johnson of Congress represent Main at memorial services at Ben Milam’s grave. Both gave patriotic speeches.

Crockett 6433 Riegler Ice Cream Company 800 Last Houston Street 5an Antonio Phone Crockett 178 or 179 Mar. 7—Miss Symington, the peer of ’em all, leaves for St. Louis. What have we done to deserve this. I always said St. Louis was lucky in everything but baseball and breweries. Had an assembly. Hattie Davenport sang, Charlie Crowe talked, Joe Katz talked and so did Enid Jones. Everyone felt like crying—but Miss Symington made us laugh. Worth While Girls repeat performance of “Catching Clara” for benefit of convalescent soldiers at Camp Travis. I’ll bet they ain’t convalescent tomorrow. The lure of the dance across the way proved too much for some of us. Main rolled up adding-macihne scores today. Downed Pleasanton, 22 to 7, and snowed Coker under, 44 to 0. Coker thought basket-ball was a non-essential occupation, and Gottwald misunderstood the meaning of “or” in that “work or fight” clause. Faculty honors Miss Symington with banquet. Bunch of speeches, and Doc gets “hard-boiled” when some one suggested that size has a great deal to do with the brain power of a person. Doc proved the suggestion to be null and void when he recited an excellent homemade poem. Mar. 11—Charile Crowe receives reins of Juniors. After seeing the bunch of terrors that figger on getting out next June, we pity Charlie. Mar. 12—Feb. ’20s decide to get in the game by organizing too. Henry Moursund picked out, or on, to lead the “next-graduates” to success. We can appreciate the Feb. ’20s—they gotta give us a dance in the sweet by-and-by. Mar. 13—Congress holds unique meeting in Police Station, and get to meet many distinguished policemen. Rel Orr arouses friendship of a gun-man who desires to adopt him. Thos. Goggan Bros.

And representatives of a few advisories also go out to Camp Travis and distribute Irish potatoes and other reminders of St. Patrick. Mar. 15—The Shakespeare Club entertains itself and every one who looked at ’em with a Majestic matinee party, followed bv a light luncheon at Wolff Marx. Tried to pass as a girl, but Miss Browne offered me a razor, so I beat it. Mar. 19—Sargeant Herbei-t Wall donates his personage in a short but pleasing concert. While we’re sorry that “jazz” was tabooed in Herbie’s line-up of songs, still even “Hop” Spillman became so interested that he forgot to do the usual stunt of falling asleep. Mar. 20—Jeffs prove that their club should be designated the Jef fersonian Athletic Club whe nthey clean up on the Haynes in a boxing tournament. Carson and Davenport showed the most science and Forrest Reed and John Dibrell the least brains. Hattie made a bantam rooster jealous and Dibrell finally got tired of burning the wind and started really hitting some flesh, but I had a fine time keeping time—the guy forgot to ask me for his watch when we got through. Mar. 21—Baseball esason opens, and Main starts in by walloping Academy, 12 to 4. A huge crowd of forty-tko students witness the contest. Meredith convinces all that his 300 pounds is a wonderful target for the pitcher. Why don’t you stop some of ’em with the glove, Hippo? Mar. 22—Basket-ball season closes with Main wandering up to that wild town of Eagle Pass and taking a fall out of them, 58 to 14. Got treated ropally, and after the game the bunch started out to see if Pancho Villa was still alive, but some noble Mexican general or maybe he was a janitor, told them that “Cotton” Wendland looked like a spy that he had caught nine years ago, so the bunch had to be satisfied with taking up a little of Scobey Fireproof Storage Co.

Everyone went to the Country Club (that’s what they call it there) and Johnnie Ogden demanded the attention of at least three of the best looking dames exported by that well-known town. Furthermore, he more than DEMANDED it—he got it!! Some guvs are lucky. Mar. 24—Two more clubs in the ring. Friendship and Art Clubs organize. If you don’t belong to a club now, there’s something wrong. Pretty soon we won’t have enough rooms to hold meetings in. Memorial services for Theodore Roosevelt, the American of Americans, held in Mr. Hofstetter’s advisory. That’s the spirit, boys. Mar. 26—Another good teacher gone. Mr. Shelton evacuates from the front line trench of teachers. We’ll miss the man who coached the basket-ball team so splendidly. Good luck to you, Shelton. Mar. 27—Orchestra plays for soldiers at Base Hospital. Here’s once where the audience couldn’t get up and leave. They enjoyed it tho’—at least the driver of the trucks did. More power to you, motor! Mar. 28—Juniors come to life with an informal party at the Y. W. C. A. Guv Rail must be a he-vampire—he had all the girls around him. Oh, I forgot, he’s the guy that was serving the ice cream. Bobby Craig guzzled punch like a regular toper, and Jimmie Graves tried the fascinating sport of eating peas with a knife. Sophs also get energetic and offer a picnic to they and theirs. Went over to the pavilion to dance but none of the guys had the required and necessary nickel to start music, so they decided that it was San Antonio Kindergarten Training Sell ool Opens this fall under the Auspices of the SAN ANTONIO KINDERGARTEN ASSOCIATION Pres., Mrs. Henry Drought Sec., Mrs. F.

SERVICE ENGRAVING CO. CUTS IN THIS ANNUAL MADE BY CALCASIEU BUILDING San Antonio.Texas bad to dance after eating and went back to tease the fishes. Mar. 31—More hard luck—assembly for girls again, and this time it was even more interesting. Miss Aelxander showed the girls what and when to wear, and we agree with Miss Alexander exactly, after peeping in at a bunch of gilds demonstrating the right kind of clothes. Commissioned officers hold banquet in honor of Mr. Shelton. Most o fthe bunch went to the Peacock-Main game and got back late to find the supper cold. Anyway, Castilian food tastes better when its cold in one kind of heat at least, and Mac Russ warmed his up by eating it so fast. Louie Co-tulla was absorbed in shinning up his second lieutenant bars that he let Jess Smoot absorb his food. Selden Nve made a swell speech —like all great speeches, you didn’t undertsand what he meant and hence enjoyed it better. Main traveeld out to Peacack and donated a game to the hosts, 4 to 3. Peacock with the assistance of a mere boy, 27 years old on third, tried hard to present us with the game but Main was too polite and refused to accept gifts from strangers. A feature of the game was my walking home—six miles. April 2—Jimmie Graves and Joe Katz gain right to represent S. A. in debate when they swamp Brack, unanimously. That is—Punkie Maverick and Ruth Dakin did. I wonder what caused Ned Tankers-ley to blow up. Joe celebrated over at the drug store and “absent-mindedly” walked out with his check. I tell yon debating surely makes a person absent-minded. April 4—Competitive Vaudeville between all clubs at High.

Creston King has Julian Eltinge backed off the map when it comes to impersonating females. It’s hard enough to understand them things—let alone impersonate ’em. And not satisfied with letting Creston prove that boys make the bets girls, the Hon. Housebacker Jamieson himself, Turkish Trokey Dancer De Luxe, embarrassed and delighted a full house with his fascinating Oriental and Castilian “jazzas.” The sight of Jamieson systematically killing himself would bring tears to the eyes of a hardened villian, and dagger-embracing episode was a scream and I’m beginning to think that Rel Orr makes a better nigger than a whtie man. “The “dark-complected” minstrel was a farce —well-acted ’n everything, only “Wop” Rosier’s impersonations of a nend-man would have made A1 G. Field green with envy. I liked it swell—I voted 18 times. April 5—Freshies picnic at Brackenridge Park. Doc Pessels and Miss Schultz “chaperoned” and hence everyone had a swell time. Only it looked like a kindergarten affair and the warden or some distinguished looking personage in blue serge and brass buttons told Bones Irvin to introduce him to his nurse and Bones got highly indignant. April 8—Competitive Vaudeville aroused such favorable comment that it was re-given for the benefit o the soldiers at Camp Travis. Looks to me like everyone had the bets time coming home. Let’s see —was there a full moon tonight? April 11—Juniors have a moonlight hay ride only it was moonless night. Still that didn’t make Sanford Twente mad. I didn’t go—of course not—but the report says that “the evening was spent mostly on the Babcock Road”, which either means that the engine went GARRETT SPORTING GOODS CO. 519 E. HOUSTON ST.

Hits were the principal offerings of the play and everyone helped himself and got cafeterish. It took a whole tablet to keep score of the game. April 12—Open season for picnics. Feb. ’20s journey out to Koehler Park early in the morn to spend the day pelasantly. Jimmie Hirshfield, who incidentally looks like Neptune’s daughter, and, in fact, the Whole Family in a bathing suit, was the only daring youth to tempt and buffet the mighty waves in the San Antonio River. We mean that Jim was the only willing youth to immerse in the water—several others took it upon themselves to fall in without any license. And this same hero figured that he hadn’t had enough of the water when an hour later he tried the fascinating sport of running over a bridge, half on said bridge and half over the water. If he hadn’t been carrying the big fluffy marshmellows he mighta drowned. April 16—Miss Keller and Mr. Dave Griffen entertain us with interesting talks and songs. We surely “pepped” up those war songs— maybe it’s the spirit of Spring. Omitted a couple of periods again which made the assembly doubly enjoyable. April 17—Art Club holds Visitors’ Day. Excellent program and eats. Yes, we didn’t go. More of this Billiken luck. Picnic No. 373251. Friendship Club gets real friendly and presents one of the same. The usual weinies were cooked (and as usual, not eaten), the usual marshmellers were burnt as usual, pictures were “picked” and some of the girls got reckless and racing-imbued, and rode the burros. Best part of the evening was the syncopated “jazzing” to the harmonious strains of the enormous one-piece orchestra secluded in a player-piano. Community Congress visits courthouse, but so many of the guys had been there before that they didn’t need a guide. A few of the girls were issued marriage licenses—well, they’ll come in handy in the sweet by-and-by. April 18—We accomplish the seemingly impossible when Mrs. C. P. Meredith’s dainty little son, “H'ppo” pulverizes the pill with the bases drunk, and wrests all to 9 victory over the South Side wonders. Modest, shrinking “Hippo” admitted to the special reporters of the Huisache, Express and N. Y. Times that way out in his birth place, they thought baseball was a disease, but he presumed that he was a natural born base-baller. Anyway we scribble Meredith’s name in the Hall of Fame, and give him a rising and sitting vote of thanks. April 19—Joe Katz and Jimmie Graves are to represent this district by verdict of their clean sweep in the district contests held here. Austin-bound May 2, and here comes the finals. Jimmie starts, looking up Austin in the encyclopedia and tides to learn all about the size, peculiarities, and familiar sayings of the town. April 23—Luck, pure bona-fide luck, took a hand in the Main-Peacock game and nobly assisted by rotten errors, enabled Peacock to cinch first place at our expense. The only way McMillan could retire a man was to strike him out and he did this often enough but not sufficient to keep 12 Peacock pairs of feet from spiking the rubber.

Baetz, Cashier Alfred Marschall, Asst. Cashier putting 5 runs across and feeling proud. Drink to the next year, boys—fill ’em up again—with water. April 25—Sophs pull off an exceedingly original stunt in the shape of a backward party. All the bunch walked in backwards, talked backwards, laughed backwards, ate backwards, and backed backwards. Even the dancing was backwards, especially when Harry Johnson took a hand. The health of the class was drunk by the entire assembly, and John Dibrell musta figgered that the class was sure sickly because he drank and re-drank. Wonder what was in his glass. Main enters a dozen floats in parade, and makes a huge success of it. We Junes had the best-looking float in the whole pee-rade—I admit it myself. Only we all had to wear transparent flannel white trousers, and likta caused a riot. “Dutch” Hackenjos got worn out speaking to his numerous acquaintances on Haymarket Square, and Frank Newton made a decided hit with a lovely Chili Queen. April 26—The day of days. I especially will always remember this day. Junes entice two tally-hoes to convey them to Landa’s Park. Everyone came. On the way we stopped at Selma, and having spent $.40 for drinks, the proprietor of the place closed up for the day, and in fact, retired from business. Joe Katz absent-mindedly stept off the running-board of the fastly moving car, and mossed up the atmosphere, and incidentally, himself. Spirits (both kinds) ran high among all, even Joe—I mean especially Joe out at the bathing place, and every one started singing—at least. They called it singing—at least they called it sing-Braunfels refuses to waste perfectly good “city” money on such useless Confidence To get any satisfaction out of a dentist you need CONFIDENCE in him.

Good ole Major Burke donated a ton of ice cream, but Bill Chaney had to argue with Fritz Speigle, owner of the said ice cream, for two hours. Bill says he was cross-examined for a German spy, had to tell his family history and apologize for living. Eats were ate, and drinks were drunk—also Jim Foster. New Braunfels offered us half of her dance emporium, and natchally we REFUSED. Beb vamped a New Braunfelless, and broke the ice. Honestly, he’d ask the Queen of Sheba to dance with him. Who said the floor was slippery—those hicks musta put condensed greased lightning on the floor. Ask Perry. On the way home we again stopped at Selma and bought a nickel s worth of candy, and swiped $203.12. If Johnnie Ogden hadn’t taken pity on the guy we wouldn’t have spent a cent. Then so they would remember us, a bunch of guvs decorated the handsome sidewalks with home-made confetti. The end of a perfect day. April 28—Dramatics hold party at the home of “Bobby” Smith. The attraction of the day was the “galloping domino” game. Talk about weird jinxes and “cungees” —you shouldda seen those innocent religious Dramatics rooll dem bones. And furthermore you shoulda seen those same religious innocent Wramatics dance. In fact you shoulda been there, thass all. April 29—Friendship Club does something worth while. They go out to the Orphans’ Home and distribute rabbitless Easter eggs. While the little orphans believe the eggs to be “rabbitted” as well as they do believe in Santa Claus, still we gotta hand it to the F. C. Nothing selfish about them. isr April 30—Main represented up at Southwestern (not Insane Asylum) in the persons of Ruth Dakin and Lillian James. Couldn’t be better represented. May 1—Last lap of the “last; long mile.” Author getting hungry. Joe Katz and Jimmie Graves win first three debates at Austin, and get beaten in the final semifinal. Austin is some joint. Street car worried Joe—its bell is a duplicate of the one used by the police patrol wagon here and consequently it had Joe running or jumping. Fred Hofstetter walks the streets, or street, all night, trying to get a real malted milk, but everyone was milkless and maltless. Ole Sim Kelly almost got lost in the wilds of Congress Avenue. Wild what? And Jimmie tried to sleep in the Capitol and got sore because we wouldn’t introduce him to Gov. Hobby. May 2—Main peeved because of losing the championship, takes it out on St. Louis College, 5 to 0, and S’looey didn’t have a chance with Bartlett. Now for Bracken-ridge again.

Did you hear Harry sing? Yon didn’t?—and yet you were only 15 miles away!—that’s funnv—you must be deaf. Some one embraced a chaperone coming back—I wonder who that was. And yet milk was as strong as we got. May 14—Getting hungrier. Just now pawned last sock for a soup sandwich. Getting desperate. We Junes hold final assembly of the term. Mr. Frank Newton tells us all about the correct way to vote, but these days it isn’t needed.

Finances were low until Punkie started proving why a Turk has so many wives, and then when a few lovely “Shakes” started raffling kisses, well—anyway we heard in a roundabout way that Sib Church and Tommie Harris, assisted by two adding machine es-perts, stayed up all night counting up the cash. Now I guess the Shakes will buy me something to eat. May 16—The 4 years of school have ended with the pealing of the old school clock 5 minutes ago. Farewell old scene of countless good times. Still Pm hungry, only got vital clothes left. F� aid I’ll get arrested yet. Main had a regular election contest today. Like a “nut” I though prohibit'on meant “drinking” and voted 15 times for prohibition. No wonde the vote was 610 to 175. I guess Jim Foster voted 174 times. Mav 18—Brack, borrows Wes Texas’ team and kalsomines us, 10 to 0. I wonder what’s the age limit for plavers Look it no, Rodney. Baseball season ends. WE tied for second p’ace. May 19—Hungrier than ever. Week of torture begins. Heavy practice for play, tobaccalaoreate, and commencement. Sweet Boy Graduates. May 21—Congress presents its Junior auxiliaries in debate and declamation. Congress Juniors of Eleanor Brackenridge win in de- mate and Declamation from Marshall School—Patrick Henrys. May 22—Final rehearsal of “Maid and Middy.” Who is Anita? That beauty chorus is superb— front row seat for mine. May 23—Hocked last article today. Wish I was home. “Maid and Middy” a grand success both in afternoon and night. Oh gosh, but is was a treat for weak eyes and run-down dispositions. Wisht I hadda played in the orchestra. May 24—Play repeated and again a great success. Let’s tour the state with it, Major Burke. School is ending for all next week. May 25—Ye goode olde solemne daye. Baccalaureate Exercises. Walked down the aisle sorrowfully to the tune of something deeply religious. Sinners like Withers, Bertrand and Laden who thought that church was a girl’s name only, were wilting down collars and looking as comfortable as the Kaiser. Dr. W. Bertrand Stevens delivered a stirring sermon. May 26—Febs entertain ns with dance at Country Club. Have a good time? Oh, no! Ask us, don’t ask me. May 27—Getting desperate— Class Day exercises. Fun in barrels and tons. Illustrated “real” pictures of various well known happenings, as at New Braunfels. Who spiked the punch? Our last blow-out, so lesh all be happy. May 28—Good-bye, ole June ’10 class-mates. Altho’ writing this on an empty stomach, allow me to express my feelings. With the handing of a diploma to Eloise Zepeda, the best, biggest-hearted, and most popular aggregation of boys and girls met at the final parting of the ways.

Farewell, all those who are our friends, But the saddest farewell I say Is to you, class-mates of June ’19, Who are leaving here this dav. AU REVOIR BUT NOT GOODBYE. May 29—Free man—but if I don’t eat I’ll be a free dead man. What’ll I pawn—nothing remains. I know what I’ll do—forgive me, FAREWELL. P. S. (The diary ends here so we presume that Mr. Phil A. Page, driven frantic by hunger, hocked this manuscript the same day. In apologizing for publishing this story, we hope you will remember this and the moral of one who succumbed to the pangs of hunger, and went as far as to pawn his dearest—proving to you to what extremes one will go when har-rassed by the lack of a square meal. May you read this manuscript and be better men and women for having read it. Amen—andsoforth— good-bye.) FINIS. This space donated for a better school and better education by H. A. FEE, M. D.
