If they haue put into it a little of that spirit of courtesy, fair play, and good fellow-ship so characteristic of Main Auenue High School they will feel that their work has been well done. rA FATHER to us when we • needed advice, a confidant when we wanted to share our troubles, a real fellow participating in all our activities, as an appreciation of such services, this book is dedicated to our beloved principal. PROF. J F. HOWARD 2 Seven Our School and Its Traditions 011E history of your school is a prelude to the history of you! All ____ the advantages that you have cherished at high sehool, all the education that has come within your dominion, even unto the very simplest habits of man, have been the results of a coral growth of decades. Hundreds of teachers and ■ thousands of students have come and passed, each one leaving a creditable addition to the betterment of our institution. You come in and enjoy the whole; take your portion and leave your portion, and in turn pass on. Let us view some of the conditions under which those who have formed this heritage have worked. Both persons and things are responsible for these riches which arc now a part of you. If you in these days are interesting, surely they in their time were interesting. The first High School of this city was constructed on the present site of the new Main building of the Main Avenue High Sehool. It was the beautiful structure, consisting of three spacious floors and about twenty-four rooms. Previous to that date, the high school grades were operated in conjunction with what was known as the Central School. The classes were taught in a building near the former St. Mary’s Hail. It was soon apparent, however, that it would be to the advantage of the pupils to separate the higher from the lower grades, and so the higher were moved away to the old Fireman’s Hall, which then stood on Avenue 0, for years the home of the old Hook and Ladder and No. 2 Engine companies. The pupils soon outgrew these quarters, so the classes were moved to the old Temple Beth-el at .Jefferson and Travis streets. When the cry was again raised for more room, the classes, some of which had been taught under the mesquite brush out-of-doors, were moved to the old Government barrack building, which at the time stood in the rear of the Mahncke Hotel, the present site of the Gunter. When at last the High school students were moved into their first real home, there were just enough of them to occupy the third floor; so even though the “own your own home” eompaign was in full swing, the high school had to take boarders from the grades to fill up the other two floors. It wasn’t long; however, before the “roomers” were put out and Main High could be called “Main High.” Nine THE MAIN BUILDING HE imposing structure of brick and, we believe mortor, is the building of which ail Main students are proudest. In the first place, it is the newest. In the second place, it contains—the Cafeteria. The Cat’etera. which during lunch period is well worth the visitors while to watch. Then there is the Auditorium, the acoustics of which arc said to be the best in the city. The Auditorium is very beautiful, but not quite spacious enough for the growing needs of Main. Next in order (in the students opinion, at least) is the rest room. Here under the supervision of an efficient and sympathetic matron, confidences are poured forth, los books and jewelry found, and hurts bandaged up. After this comes the office, really most important room of all. but mostly avoided, because it is the source of pink slips, cut slips and other unavoidable evils of a high school career. In the Main Building, also, are some large well ventilated class rooms in one of which, on certain joyful occasions, steropticon slides are shown. There is a dreadful Geometry room, and a physiology room where cats and snakes and things repose beside a real live skeleton. On the second floor there is a room where typewriters forever click and another where botany and zoology hold sway. On the lower floor near the Cafeteria are the bookkeeping rooms floors littered with blank checks and other important looking papers. There are two story desks with red and blue ink, and pens of assorted colors. On this floor also is the Expression room, where youths and maidens are wont to declaim “The Curfew Shall Not King To night.” Then on the top floor of this building are the rooms where the Orchestra the Chorus Classes and the Glee Club fill the air with melodies. Just above in the “attic” are the studios where in are created many useful and beautiful things. And the halls of the Main Building, have at last been dedicated to the cause their tiled floors were intended for in the first place—dancing. All the school dances are all held here now. and the echo of recent gayety fills the halls and keeps the purils from thinking in indigo moments of discouragement that, “Life is just one—thing after another” (Mostly lessons). Ten THE MANUAL ARTS BUILDING IIIS building of red stone, with its imposing entrance and wide halls is dedicated to the muse (or is there asuch a muse?) of industry. In the lower floor are rooms the like.of which have never been dreamed of by the feminine half of the Student body, at least. Wood turning, joinery, welding, auto repairing; all these things and many more are taught to prepare the boys for the struggle they all must have with life. On the second floor are the Mechanical Drawing rooms where, perched on high stools, boys and sometimes girls, learn to draw with the greatest nicety. Kvery line must be straight, all must be “on the square.” The life lesson this course teaches is obvious. On this floor also are the mysterious Chemistry and Physics laboratories from whence issue those awful odors that so nearly asphyxiate innocent pedestrians. And away up on the “toppest” floor, far away from all the disturbances are the rooms that teach tin girls to be house keepers by and by. Sewing, cooking and dress designing are all taught; and taught well. And because “fine feathers make fine birds”, the girls are also taught to make their own hats. The “Arts” building is indeed well named. Eleven CENTRAL BUILDING 11ST across ihe bridge from the Main building is the Central building, covered on one side with vines, and containing?—the Library! Walls lined with books, floors covered with some noisless material, windows filled with growing ferns—who does not delight in spending his study period in this peaceful, altho so very educative, retreat? Notes (we blush to say it) are passed surreptitiously, under cover of the Encyclopedia Brittanica, or perhaps, “The History of the World”! but the pupils do have a dandy time in there, and perhaps the atmosphere makes them learn things. Who can tell? There are history and civics classes in this building, too, where political questions are hotly discussed and great men or great deeds reviewed. There are Spanish, French and Latin rooms here, too, where poor American children try to learn something not at all connected with their mother tongue! And away down at the end of the hall is the room where trig, the crouching ogre, devours innocent High School students. In the rooms of this building the club meetings arc held; Dramatics, Phils, Haynes, and many more. Here also the classes meet, from timid Freshmen to learned Seniors. Voices arc heard front these rooms on meeting days, arguing questions pro and con, and blue smoke, that authentic omen of excitement is seen issuing from the doors! This, then, is—the CENTRAL BUILDING.

P. CARTER accepted by mr. j.f. Howard UNVEILED BY MISS DOROTHY McCAMPBELL Thirteen □ S a farewell message to the students of the Main ____ Avenue High School to whom 1 am indebted for two of the pleasantest years of my life, I would urge them to take full advantage of the wonderful opportunities being presented to them in this splendidly equipped plant and exceptionally strong faculty. Not only should they prepare themselves for their furture careers by application to their studies and by the cultivation of those habits that will be invaluable to them in later life but they should enter into the spirit of the life they are novf living and so live it that they may leave the school with the knowledge that they have contributed somewhat toward the betterment of the school. The development of character is the fundamental aim of the school rather than the acquisition of information and the effort of the administration to encourage self-control through the introduction of a system of self-government should receive the hearty and cordial support of every student of the school. By this means it is hoped that every student of the school will do the right thing because it is right and because he wants to do the right thing rather than because some higher authority will punish him for not doing it. May the school thrive and prosper and finally attain those ideals toward which those who love and cherish it are striving. | HE ability, on the part of the student, to distinguish between right and wrong, to fully appreciate this distinction, and to demonstrate it on every occasion by his conduct, forms, in my opinion, Ihc basic principles -upon which student self-government is established. Such plan of government is being carried out here on a more extensive scale than in the average high school. It is bringing our students into a closer relationship with one another, and into a fuller realization of the responsibilities which they should assume in regard to their school affairs. It is establishing the honor system as a tradition. Let us guard, carefully, the good name of our school. This can best be accomplished by remembering that the actions of our students, individually or collectively, will always reflect upon the honor of Old Main. Fifteen The Department of English INASMUCH as English is the only prescribed subject in the curriculum of the Main Avenue High Sehoool, six credits in English being the minimum requirement for graduation, this department is the largest in point of numbers in the school. More than 90 per cent of the students take English—many by compulsion, not a few from choice. The course of study has been altered from time to time in order to keep the work of the department abreast with advanced ideas in education, and will compare favorably with that offered in all but the more richly endowed high schools of the country, where greater library facilities and a larger teaching force in proportion to enrollment permit a differentiation of courses and a closer adaptation of the work to individual needs than is possible with us. The work of the department covers eight terms. In addition to the usual course in rhetoric and composition, a rich course of reading is offered in each class, including the chief English and American classics. From five to six plays of Shakespeare are studied—nearly all of those on the list for college entrance. English 6 is a course in American literature, with an extensive list of supplementary reading, and English 7 and 8 give a preliminary view of English literature, in which the student gets a first-hand introduction to the more important writers. A course in business English and one in argumentation have both been'the subject of serious consideration and cannot be much longer postponed. For students who can afford to disregard university entrance requirements, a course in nineteenth century and recent literature will prove highly attractive. But for such a course the library will have to be supplied with so many of the newer books that a special endowment fund will be required. Every two weeks the teachers of English confer together on the needs of the department, and lay plans for improving the course and for making the instruction more efficient. Various types of educational tests arc given, and the results of these tesls will form the basis of changes as soon as they can be applied. A beginning has already been made in English 1, where the students entering the high school in February were assigned to differentiated sections of the class as a result of a reading test held at the close of the preceding term. A course in library training is now being formulated, and when completed will be a valuable adjunct to the study of literature as well as to the other activities of the school.

This term, we have twenty-nine classes, taught by eight teachers, five of whom teach nothing else. These classes are full, some to overflowing. Our aim is to lay a secure foundation for the advanced mathematics necessary to all scientific work, to use and train the reasoning powers, to develop habits of accuracy and mental alertness, and to permit the mathematical elect to enjoy themselves in this kind of thinking. While all serious work becomes irksome at times, anyone observing our students at work would be convinced that but few of them are unhappy in it. To be sure, we are favored, in that mathematics is not required. Those whose talents be along other no less useful lines, and who would suffer too acutely, let it alone. While we know there are bright boys and girls that do not take mathematics, it is undoubtedly true that our advanced classes are picked groups, above the average in intelligence. Eighteen tm™SC3Z 7DGS I I , • - � • • V MR.THOMAS M'SS M . JOlSES MiSS MITCHEUL M iss m jr«aV The History Department |HE History Department offers a variety of work. For Ihe lower grades ____ we offer the beginnings of General History (History 1 and 2) or the History of England. For pupils who are exporting to attend High School only for a short time there is Civics. Then later on a pupil may elect the second part of General History (History 3 and 4) Economies or Advanced Civics. Toward the end of his course we are anxious to have each pupil take American History. With the exception of Economics, which is offered for the first time this term and for which we confidently expect credit, all the history courses offered have University credit, with the following limitations: Not less than it year’s work will he accepted in English History; History 1 may not be accepted without 2, or 3 without 4. In all, the History Department offers eleven High School credits, and five or five and one-half University units to the pupils. The aim of the Department is to assist the pupils in developing into good, intelligent citizens. We are not interested simply in cramming their heads with the names, dates and facts, though wo do want them to be able to recognize the great names and events of the past, but most of all we are anxious that they be able to discuss great issues and arrive at sensible conclusions; that they understand the foundations of the present day institutions and assign to them oneness with the people who strove and achieved in the past, and draw from them help and a better understanding of people and issues now. The work of the Department employs the full time of six teachers, most of them teaching six periods and with classes averaging over thirty pupils each. One peculiarity in the membership of the classes is the number of cases in which boys equal or out number the girls. The most serious drawback in our work is the inadequate supply of books. History to be vital and interesting must present different standpoints and much first hand material. At present we use the Carnegie Library and private soums to suplcment Library but we are all working in faith and hope toward a well equipped Main Avenue High School Library. Twenty COOSWsW A 7 V- --Ay. OLGA VOGEL EMMA GUTZEIT EUZA8ETH MOREY MRS. J.W.NANCE MARY CLEARY Twenty-one Foreign Language SPANISH DEPARTMENT At the head of the Spanish is Mrs. Carvajal. There are four teachers under her capable direction. At present there are six hundred and five pupils taking Spanish. Since Spanish is an elective course, it is easily seen that the need of Spanish is recognized by the pupils of Main High. Spanish should be a popular subject in San Antonio. Think of the Spanish traditions and the Spanish history with which it is associated. How often the Spanish language is heard in its streets and on its plazas. What golden opportunities are offered in this city, a center of Mexican trade, to those who know both Spanish and English. Considering the Spanish enrollment of this city, it is only surprising that every student doesn’t take advantage of the opportunity to learn this beautiful, as well as useful, language, a language spoken in more countries than any other language in the world; the language of Cervantes. A four year course is offered in this subject. By the time the course is completed a student should be able to read easily any Spanish that is not too idiomatic or difficult, to write with creditable ease and to make his wants known in any Spanish speaking country. In addition to the regular work, Spanish clubs offer an opportunity to the students to converse, to sing, to play games and to read interesting Spanish stories together. LATIN DEPARTMENT The renewed interest in the study of Latin, apparent throughout the country, is manifest in the present large enrollment in the I atin Department of the Main Avenue High School. Aside from its cultural worth. I atin has a place in the curriculum because of its practical value. By its greatest worth is in its effect upon our English language. When we consider that sixty percent of the words in the English language are derived from Latin we may readily understand the necessity of keeping alive the study of Latin. One of the most important reasons, therefore, why the study of Latin should be pursued is the bearing of that study upon the students command of his own mother tongue. Now there are over two hundred pupils enrolled in the Latin Department of this institution. Main is indeed fortunate in having two of the very best Latin instructors in the country. Miss Pearl West, the head of the Department, and Miss Gladys Morgan. FRENCH DEPARTMENT The late war has had an important effect on the use of French language in America; it has caused the introduction of a French Department in most of the High Schools. In our own we have an efficient and capable Department, managed by Miss Brunet. Our French Department, which will soon be affiliated with the Texas University, has classes in as high as their fifth semester now, and hopes to offer yet higher classes next year. The purpose of the Department is to give the pupils at least a reading knowledge of French. Some of the better pupils will also speak and understand it. All should be able to understand what phrases they may run across in their reading. French has always been the language of diplomacy and of polite society. Since the war it has become much more important and is now one of the most common languages in use.

Hygiene, Zoology and Agriculture. The Department as a whole stands for better living, deeper thinking, and a fuller understanding of one’s relationship with the universe. As a science it develops logical thinking, accurate observation, a.spirit of investigation and love of truth for truths sake. From the instructors point of view, the class room is the stepping stone to a greater future—a future not measured in dollars and cents but one that bears the marks of true success so well expressed by the following lines of Mrs. A. T. Stanley: “He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; who has filled his niche, has accomplished his task; who left the world better than he found it; whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of the earth’s beauty or failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others and given the best he had; whose life was an inspiration, whose memory is a benediction.” The ideals of the Physiology department are thoroughly expressed in the following Health Letter No. 1 of the Life Extension Institute. “Personal Ilygine thoroughly carried out means restoring the noble ideals of the ancient Greeks for bodily health, efficiency, strength, endurance, symetry and beauty. It enormously increases our capacity to work to be happy, and to be useful. The ideals which, all should seek is that pride of physicial fitness which makes us anxious to render a good account of what ever is entrusted to our care, whether it be human body or business. Every sane person should realize that an obligation rests upon the occupant of the human body to keep it sound, clean, and efficient, to keep it a social asset, not a liability.” The Physics, Chemistry and General Science of our Science Department are represented by Mr. Pfeiffer, Mr. May, Mr. Moore and Miss Adams. Indeed we are living in an age of Science. The world war has presented economic problems that must be solved and can be sloved only by the aid of research in the modern science laboratories. Boys and girls alike realize the possibilities of future fields in electrical and chemical engineering. Indeed the past fifty years have seen our environment and conveniences of life transformed by the applications of the electrical experimentation to a degree undreamed of by even the most optomistic; yet the next fifty years will see even a greater transformation when the chemical engineer brings forth his secrets of the chemical laboratories. Indeed our science department even strives to teach that a correct understanding of Nature and Nature’s processes are absolutely essential to correct and complete living.

MOORE Twenty-five Industrial Education mi reaching tlio High School, all students desiring industrial work arc required to take the prevoeational work before specializing in any particular kind of shop work. This prevocational work consists of eight different lint's of shop work, and drawing as follows: (1) Bench work. (2) Cabinet making or Mill-work, (3) Pattern making, (4) Moulding, (5) Forging, (( ) Machine shop Practice, (7) Machine drafting, (8) Architectural Drafting. Students spend one-half term each on the above subjects, thus requiring two years to complete all. In addition to the above instruction the prevocational students are given much vocational guidance information concerning the trade of the shop in which they are working. This information covers the economic conditions of the trade such as the hours and wages; the working daps per year; period of earning ability; working conditions as to the affect on the health of the worker; mental and physical strain of the work; function and the importance of occupation, etc. Also the students are being taken to local shops and plants where the work they are doing is being done commercially. After the student has completed the prevocational work, he is permitted to specialize in any one of the courses offered for the rest of his time in High School. Those pupils desiring an intensive trade training in the Machine-shop Practice or the Automobile repair may take the Smith-Hughes Machinists or Auto-Mechanics Course. They may enter these courses at any time provided they fulfill the requirements of the Smith-IIughes act. English is the only regular High School subject studied in this course, besides the shop work of these courses, all students take the related science and mathematics and drawing. It is probable that next year a term of work in economics and in citizenship, in addition to the above related work will be done in these courses.

Through the efforts of Mrs. Eli Hcrt .berg. then president of the Womans Club, cooking and sewing classes were inaugrated in the High School several years after their introduction in the grades. Beginning with one teacher and half the credit allowed in other High School subjects, the department now boasts of seven teachers and more college entrance credits than any other Texas High School. The Cafeteria, which adds so much to the efficiency of the school is a part of the Home Economics Department. In addition courses ar offered in elementary and advanced cookery, dieteetics, house hold management and in sewing, dressmaking, costume design and millinery. The home nursing course which originated in this department has been transferred to the Science Department and under Miss Stoddard’s able direction has this year received half a college entrance unit. The first High School in the state to receive such recognition. The purpose of this department is to fit girls for woman’s most popular vocation—Home Making. That it has been achieved has been demonstrated by the ability of its graduates to preside over their homes, And even their Mother’s-in-law cheerfully vouch for their efficiency.

MISS Huqhes 1U um ZSZ5SS Twenty-nine The Commercial Department | HE Commercial Department of our High School comprises a varied and interesting group of activities. Here hundreds of our students receive the special training in Bookkeeping and Stenography that enables them to enter the different business offices of our city as accountants and stenographers. Many others enter the Arithmetic, Commercial Geography and Business Law classes for the practical values to be derived therefrom for any line of business. This department is one of the most popular in the school, touching as it does almost every pupil through some of its branches. Six teachers are employed in the instruction of the five hundred or more pupils in the department. The fifty typewriters arc kept busy during the seven periods of the day with the practice of about two hundred students who have double periods of work. There are over one hundred pupils in the Shorthand classes, and almost one hundred in the Arithmetic classes. Miss Lillie Gohmert is the head of the department, having had many years experience in this line of teaching. ■Mrs. Mayhew, a practical stenographer from Illinois, and a very popular teacher, assists in the stenography work. To Miss Finney, an enthusiastic typist, fall the duties of leading the beginners in Typewriting through rhythmic exercises to touch typewriting. The Bookkeeping course is in the hands of Miss Cook who has lately come to us from Waco. She has brought great enthusiasm to her work here and has introduced an extra laboratory period for her pupils where a high class of work is being done. She is assisted by Miss Elizabeth I'tz. Miss M. Brown has one of the several Arithmetic classes. Thirty 696 969 696 969- 696 MISS L. GOHMERT MISS K. COOK MRS. IVIAYHEW MISS E. . UTZ Thirty-one Fine Arts m PUBLIC SPEAKING |HE public speaking department of Main Avenue High School was organized in the year 1914 with Frederick Abbott as its head. It has been the endeavor of this department to uphold the highest ideals of culture throughout its work: to give the student a ready ability in the interpretation of the printed page, and to stimulate in him the best expression of his own ideas. When we realize that speech is the medium through which men must convey their ideas; that it is the most vital manner of communicating truth: in fact, the very foundation of intellectual and moral progress, we readily perceive the importance of this department in the life of any school. A large enrollment, yearly increasing, has demonstrated the wisdom of its inauguration, and attests the popularity of the courses offered. Miss Janie Baskin, Mr. Abbott’s able and inspiring assistant, has conducted her classes in such a manner that they have taken an active part in the life of the school. During the past year student speakers have held themselves in readiness to give their aid in every good cause. The Thanksgiving Offering was considerably increased through the efforts of the Four Minute Brigade.” In April of this year the work was still more vitalized by instituting a campaign in the interests of A School Beautiful , a signiglcant movement which we believe will affect, for good, not only the life of the school but the life of the city. When the student has completed the course lie is able, not only to take a more active and larger part in the activities of the school: but is prepared to be of larger benefit to society in general. And this is the aim of the Department of Public Speaking. THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT Under the able supervision of Miss Norma V. Owen. Music has rapidly become one of the leading departments in Main Avenue High School. In this Department, the student is trained in the rudiments of good music and correct judging. When the student leaves school and goes out into the world, in addition to his literary attainments his nature has been refined and cultivated by this study of music and he is fitted to enjoy and appreciate the best the world affords in music. The Music Department consists of three Girl’s Chorus Classes, a Boy’s Glee Club, a class in Musical Appreciation and a splendid orchestra, each and all of which add jest and pleasure to our assemblies and other school activities. About three-hundred students meet daily in one or another of those classes for one period each. And during almost any period in the day. when a visitor enters the Main Avenue High School strains of music reach his ear and he is both surprised and pleased to find such fine work going on in a High School. This work in Music has been most favorably commented upon as a means of furnishing relaxation and additional knowledge, gained thru pleasure, to the daily routine of the student’s life. Is not the natural conclusion to all this that the fuuro Symphony Orchestra and Chorus Clubs of San Antonio will consist very largely of our fellow-students of Main Avenue High School? ART DEPARTMENT How strange the expression. This is good line . This is good spacing , or This dark and light is splendid”, seem the first few weeks you arc in an Ait class. There are all sorts of fun In just playing with the colors and doing unusual things. Art I students paint landscapes, make lovely pictures out of colored paper, model pottery and decorate it. design posters and I mustn’t forget to say that they learn to appreciate that which is good from the artist's point of view. Must one ho beautiful to appreciate beauty? So it is with art. Pupils who have never had an art lesson can take this course of art appreciation and bo able to judge any work of space art such as sculpture, architecture, painting, pottery and furniture. The students are carefully taught the history of art from its beginning in Egypt up to modern times. Each pupil lias a note book in which he pastes his pictures and keeps notes for the term. The ability to appreciate is not the only thing that is taught: for a student must be able to criticise a picture and show wherein it is bad and give suggestions for bettering it. Every person who takes Art Appreciation feels that he has not wasted his time: but that he is at least able to talk sensibly of art. Parowax and canned heat are two very important things in the making of Batic designs. What lovely smocks, kimonos and dress designs can be made if you learn to use wax and dye and a few other things the right way. Just imagine a crackling fire with n colorful fire screen before it that you can say you have made. You really enjoy designing tabic covers, lamp shades, and draperies for they arc as useful as they arc beautiful. Thirty two PDC3E SJjKPG |vti ® ma vn-1 MISS N.V. OWEN MISS S. BROWNE Thirty-three The Library Scene One Place: High School of San Antonio, Texas. Time: Spring of 1919. Scene: Library. A narrow, oblong room down one side of which rough shelves jut out. The opposite wall contains a mass of narrow shelves, where on lie many well worn volumns. Down the center are three low tables, end to end, at which are seated twelve students. Eight more pupils are leaning wearily against the shelves. At one end the door; at the other the changing desk. Several students enter noisily on the bare floor. First Student Speaks: “Miss Hicks, have you a life of Irvin S. Cobb?” Miss Hicks: “ I am sorry but you must go to Carnegie for a ‘ Who’s Who.’ ” Second Student: “Where can I find something for a report in Economics?” Miss Hicks: “We have nothing, you will have to go to Carnegie.” Third Student: “What magazines have you?” Miss Hicks: “Literary Digest”, “Current History” and “Popular Mechanics.” Scene Two Place: Time: Scene: Same. Spring of 1920. Library. A large, well lighted room, lined with many well filled shelves. Seven large tables, seating six students each, are placed comfortably about the room. In the four corners are bulletin boards, Dictionary stand, and rack full of the latest periodicals. The predominating color is a cool grey. On the floor is a piece of heavy matting. From the ceiling hang two splendid electroliers and the walls are hung with beautiful pictures. The atmosphere is one of bracing quietness. First Student Speaks : “Have you a life of Irvin S. Cobb?” Miss Hicks: “Yes, indeed, you may find it on the stand in the corner.” Second Student Speaks: “Where can I find something to make a special report in Economics?” Miss Hicks: “The Economics Books are on the top shelf of Section 2.” Third Student: “What magazines have you in the library?” Miss Hicks: “There are the fifteen latest ones, look them over.” Fourth Student: “How many years does an elephant live?” Miss Hicks: “You may find that in the ‘World Book.’ ” So on thru the Day go the questions, but with five hundred new volumns the library feels that it has laid a foundation, and hopes to yearly go forward. Thirty-four ! Cafeteria aDUCATORS are now realizing that poorly ____ nourished children can not study effectively and so school cafeterias, where good wholesome food can be had, are becoming a vital part of our school system. The Main Avenue High School is fortunate indeed in having a well equipped cafeteria where pupils and teachers can get the best food prepared under strict sanitary conditions, attractively served and at the least possible cost. This aim to give the best food at the cheapest price is one that the classes in cafeteria keep in mind when planning the menus and preparing and serving the food. But besides preparing and serving food in the Cafeteria the girls enrolled in “Cafeteria” have regular class work. This class work consists of problems of food service, study of food values, menuc planning with special emphasis on the study of costs of foods, and problems in institutional management. This year the girls have worked exceptionally well and consequently the University will give them credit for their work. We feel justly proud of this for we are the only school in the state receiving University credit for Cafeteria work. The Cafeteria is here to serve the pupils and the teachers but we can make it a success only with the co-operation of the entire School. Thirty-five MRS. CLARK The Rest Room mHE rest room in high school is a bit of home set in a delightful corner of a very busy plant. Here Mother Clark is expected to be physician, nurse, poet, philosopher and priest, just as Mother is at home. A trail worn by many feet leads the way to the Rest Room and here the sick and injured find healing and comfort. It is well equipped with bandages, scissors, absorbent cotton, adhesive tape, and a variety of simple remedies, the most popular of which is Aromatic Spirits of Ammonia. The requests for aid are as varied as the character of the various pupils. “Please give me an excuse for absence yesterday.” “Please dress my vaccination, the shield has slipped.” “I cut my finger with the bread cutter, please tie it up for me.” “Have you any aspirin?” “Did you find my answer book?” “Have you seen Silas Marnerf” “Has any one turned in my lost purse?” “Have you found my fountain pen?” “Any one bring in a dollar bill?” “Will you dress the boy’s hand, he cut it on the plane?” Hurry calls come in daily, and the Matron has no program. She simply does the “next” thing. Occasionally a sick teacher comes to school urged on by a strong sense of duty, and by a full appreciation of the scarcity of substitutes. To help a teacher through the day helps her six classes. Sometimes the pupils come in with an air of secrecy and beg the Matron to hide a very precious package. What is it? It is a wedding present for a beloved teacher. Oh, yes, Cupid breaks thru the high school and takes the best. Mother Clark can do nothing but smile and say, “God bless you, my children.” Thirty-six et ginning END BRIGHT SUNSHIHT-WiTHOUT 'IVY COVER’D WALLS OLD GLORT CRAZING OUFL ALMA MATER Thirty-seven A QUICT HOUR IN THE OFFICE Thirty-eight 0U LDJNG CASTLES -on PAPtfc a YARD OF CALICO -A SPOOL OF THREAD Thirty-nine ELLIOTT QUINN Died April 18, 1920 The Commencement Directors [HERE are four people to whom the graduating classes of this year are greatly indebted for the success of their Commencement and Baccalaureate exercises and their play. To Miss Owen fell the task of planning and directing the Commencement and Baccalaureate exercises. The very lovely and appropriate music programs were due to her interest and planning. Not only was she called upon to assist in the exercises but when the time came for the June play Miss Owen was again called upon to train the various choruses and all the principals in their parts. The success of the play was greatly due to her efforts along this line. Mr. Frederick Abbott was responsible for the success of the “Trials of Letty” and deserves all credit for the speaking parts of “The Treasure Hunters.” With out his capable coaching the plays could never have been the successes that they were. The task of staging “The Treasure Hunters” was Mr. Jack Burk’s. He whipped the production together and drilled all the choruses. To think of putting on a play without Mr. Burk is impossible for he has trained a great number of the musical comedies put on here lately, and always with the same result. To Miss Browne we are indebteded for the careful designing of the costumes and scenery for the two Senior plays. Her’s was a hard place to fill but we feel that Miss Browne handled it as no one else could. Together these are people who helped so materially in making the graduation exercises of the two classes a success and to whom we are very grateful.

BHIHE scene is laid in the sitting room of Miss Rice’s hoarding house in a BJl modern college town. The girls, particularly Estelle Doolittle, arc very much excited over the coming of “Punch” Doolittle and Dick Bradley, two very popular and wealthy college fellows. Immediately after Madge Stevens receives a telegram which states that Letty Willis, a friend of her’s from a little country village, is coming to the college. Letty arrives and meets all the students but Dick, who is burning with courosity concerning her. Later, however, he finds his opportunity and learns to know and love her. All of this makes Estelle furiously jealous since she considers Dick as hers. The students plan a Halloween party and Estelle wishes to leave Letty out— nevertheless Letty is the most honored guest. Dick offers a valuable ring as a prize at one of the evening games, and it mysteriously disappears. Some of Miss Rice’s jewels are also missing. In the end it is found that Estelle took them hoping to make Dick believe Letty took them. Dick, however, is firm in his trust in Letty and all ends happily. Managing the play were the following committees: Ruth Cain, general manager; Robert Beloate, business manager, and the properties committee consisting of Frieda Maier, chairman, and Myrtle Wanock, Anita Wanock, Louise Smith and Arthur Johns.

One Hundred Pour “The Treasure Hunters” Synopsis ok Act I |0 a lovely little island nestling in the Philippines comes Tom Blake, a young American inventor, disguised as Julian Benevente, a pirate, and followed by a ruffian band of hired Malays. His object is to recover his diving suit and chart, which have both been stolen by an unscrupulous financier by the name of J. Winner Luce, who has defrauded Blake out of his patent and caused the latter named to resort to such violent methods. Luce comes to the island in his private yacht with his daughter, Madeline, with whom Tom Blake is in love. On the boat are Madeline’s fiance, J. Cortlandt Van Prissey; his widowed aunt, Mrs. Witherspoon, and Jimmie Squabs, an unserupulus diver, whom Luce has engaged to dive for a great treasure, which is in the hold of a Spanish galeon, sunk off the little island many years ago. The pirates wreck the yacht and capture the diving suit, but fail to get the chart showing where the treasure lies. The unfortunate yachting party are hospitablely received by Manduley, the governor of the island. Commander Boomday of the U. S. S. “Oklahoma” arrives with his brave marines who are shown a fine time by the belles of the island. In order to get the chart Blake kidnaps Madeline and demands for ransom the chart. The scene ends in confusion and dismay at the disappearance of Madeline. Synopsis ok Act II Daisy Boomday, the daughter of Commander Boomday, arrives with Sera-phina, the wife of Squabs, who is looking for her husband. They find that Aurafura, a half-wit native girl is desperately in love with Squabs, and domestic tangles ensue. A revolution starts on the island. Mr. Luce gets wise to the disguise of Blake, the marines march against the pirates, and in the midst of excitement Beverly Norton, a special agent of the United States arrives with momentous news that changes everything.

Secondly that it may serve as a memento of the happy hours spent under the roof of Main High to all loyal Junes in later years. CHAPTER I Era of Colonization Our class had long dwelt in the land of the “grammar-school grades” where they had been oppressed by strict discipline and dull routine. They were overawed by the marvelous stories told to them by explorers from Main Avenue High, which caused them to gaze with longing eyes toward her broad fields of learning. Finally, when they could stand it no longer, they began to arrive at various intervals from 191 ( to 1917 and to make settlements. Their settlements were made in various parts of the country. Many went down into the nupterious regions of Science, while others of an adventurous nature set forth into the unexplored land of History. Those who were planning to travel some day sojourned in the districts of Foreign Language, but those who expected to stay for quite a while planted their knowledge of grammar in the English Territories. Some had special gifts from nature and these wandered off into the green valleys of Art and down to the rivers of Music. Thus they were colonized but they were destined to have trouble. CHAPTER II Struggles of the Colonists. The mild and trusting freshman almost immediately after entering the portals of Main, was transformed into a most harassed being. The forms of hazing in vogue in 1916 and the fact that all regarded the innocent freshman as legitimate prey, were responsible for this metamorphosis. The bold and confident sophomore revenged himself on the new crop of peagreens the next year, but there still remained for him the more formidable struggle with pink slips, yellow slips, and various other slips of rainbow hue. By the time the Junior year rolled round the gentle art of bluffing had been acquired by most, along with other vast stores of knowledge. At any rate by 1918 the Juniors realized that if they were to sufficiently impress their underclassmen with their importance, they must be organized. So an election of officers was forthwith held and valuable experience in self government was gained in heated class discussions and exciting controversies. CHAPTER III Organization and “Affairs” of 1919. The following year on September 30th the first senior meeting was opened by Mr. Howard for the election of officers. Those best fitted for office were easily chosen as most of them had proven their worth in the Junior class. They were elected as follows: President, Charles Crowe; Vice-President, lone Riley: Treasurer, Lueien Hopper; Secretary, Alice Shackleford; Reporter, Harry Johnson; Sergeant-at-Arms. William Ilankla; Historian, Edna Ruwe, Miss Harriet Scofield and Mr. J. C. Burleson were our happily chosen sponsors. One Hundred Seven The History of the June ’20 Class (Continued) With such an enthusiastic group of people, things began to happen at once. The football rally held at the Auditorium was the first big thing attempted by the June ’20 class and proved a success from every viewpoint. The prizes awarded to the boy bringing the most girls and to the girl bringing the most boys may have been the incentive for tempting so many people forth into the “stormy night,” but at any rate we had the crowd there. As a reward for our patriotic service in boosting the football team, we entertained ourselves with a real old-fashioned Rustic party during Halloween at St. Mark’s Parish House. The rustic costumes, the old-time barn dances and gay Virginia Reels, not to mention the truly rustic refreshments of peanuts, pumpkin pies, “sinkers” and pop, made us utterly forget we were dignified seniors engaged in the earnest pursuit of knowledge. Of course such an exciting affair made us only more anxious to get together again. So the very next month the famous Heart Party took place in the cafeteria. The way the Junes made those dice rattle looked rather incriminating, but then it may have been only beginner's luck and not former practice with the galloping dominoes, that made the scores mount so fast. One of the most brilliant successes of the gay Xmas season was our dance in honor of the February ’20 graduates given at the Post Gymnasium. Immense as the “gym” was it looked as if all the “social elite” of S. A. had been enticed thither by the marvelous post band and many other attractions, for the hall was filled to overflowing with happy faces. CHAPTER IV Successes of 1920 After so much dissipation the Junes started in the new year with some good stiff work (Cause?—mid term exams) and a determination to surpass even their previous successes as the fateful time of graduation approached. February found Raymond Thorne, June ’20, as editor-in-chief of the school weekly, and later at a meeting of the June and Febs the staff for a joint annual was elected. The first social of the new year took the form of a Sunrise Breakfast at Brackenridge Park March 20. A few actually did get out there in time to see Old Sol rise in all its glory, but fewer still were adventurous enough to brave the icy waters that wintry morn. At any rate every June came in strong on the weiners and other national picnic attractions such as dill pickles and mammoth onions. On the same night these tired, but ecstatic early-morning-risers put on what should be regarded as one of the proudest achievements of the class’ career. It was no less an occasion than the first visit to S. A. in many years one of the most celebrated glee clubs in the whole country, that which hailed from our own Texas State University. The concert was given under the auspices of the June Class and was thoroughly enjoyed by all the music lovers of the city. From this high plane of intellectual enjoyment, the class baby party in the next month was a jump to the most frivolous extreme. Luckily, the party was held at our own noble institution of learning for if any of the seniors had been seen on the streets of our fair city in their strickingly original costumes, they undoubtedly would have been taken to the home for lost, strayed or stolen infants—or else to the Southwestern. As it was they all reached the nursery safely where a true baby banquet was served. One Hundred Eight The History of the June ’20 Class (Continued) Next in the lino of fun came that Ion counted-on picnic to New Braunfels. May 1 at 8 A. M. many private cars and a his tallyho carried the illustrious Junes, pleasure bent, out to Lauda's Park. Swimming, boating and riding homo in the moonlight featured in that never to.be forgotten journey. Of course “seeing the sights” of that thriving metropolis of N. B. was very instructive in itself, as travel is alway so broadening to the mind. May 15, the June '20 class, its super excellence having been appreciated, were duely honored with a dance given at school by the Pel) ’21 class. This affair brought together all the “kindred spirits” and was of course an overwhelming success. The vaudeville stunts were especially well received. CHAPTER V. The End of the Trail May 19 found the seniors jubilant over their release from geometry and other equally well loved subjects. On May 20 and 21 the biggest event of our career come off, when the class musical comedy, “The Treasure Hunters,” was shown to a crowded house every performance. The thrilling plot, the splendid acting, the romantically beautiful setting and the richness and variety of the music all combined to make this one of the cleverest musical comedies ever put on by a class. Those, who were in the play can never forget the fun they had practicing for it, besides the thrill of appearing before the footlights. All who saw the finished product of the long weeks of practice will never forget it either; so “words are vain.” Baccalaureate sermon May 23 in the auditorium issued in the commencement week with all its joys. Rev. W. C. VVebdell delivered a sermon entitled “The Day of My Opporunity” which will undoubtedly remain in the minds of most of us forever. Next came class Day on the 25th. This was the blissful occasion on which the seniors, objects of profound envy to those pool' mortals still in school, “lorded it over all creation.” An assembly that morning gave the entire school an opportunity to gaze upon them and a very good program put on by the Junes showed all just what “shining lights” they were losing. After these exertions the whole class adjourned to the ever popular cafeteria where a special senior lunch was served them at long gayly decorated tables. Class night was held in the Monger Patio and while they banqueted at the “festive board” the class will, history and prophecy were read, the latter causing much merriment. On the night of the 27th in the auditorium nearly 200 graduates received their diplomas. This solemn milestone of their lives was viewed-not only with joy but with a touch of sorrow as well by most at the thought of leaving their beloved alma mater for ever. This halcyon year reached a climax in the most successful social event of the season on the 28th when the Junes gave their farewell dance in the lobby of Main High. -No class before had ever possessed to such a marked degree, the happy faculty of having good times and this dance ended our social career in characteristic fashion. The jazzy music for dancing and the well decorated lobby of Old Main High could do no less than leave every one supremely happy. So thus ends the history of the June ’20 class, leaving them enjoying an age of peace and prosperity. —Edna Ruwe.

Before me, the undersigned authority, on this day personally appeared and after being duly sworn, stated that the foregoing statements are the desires of the June ’20 Class. GUY RALL, Notary Public. Entered in Probate Court, this the 25th day of May, 1920. SANFORD TWENTE, Clerk. One Hundred Twelve Prophecy of the June ’20 Class HILE riding home one early spring afternoon, in the year 1937, from the North-East Well, on Poncho Villa, the best and blackest horse on the ranch, my thoughts turned towards my old high school days and I naturally thought of the June Twenty Class. Unconsciencously I looked down at my class ring worn, battered and scratched and wondered how many twenties I would ever see and furthermore, how many had fulfilled the prophecy I had written for them when we graduated. As I had not been away from the hills in a long time and had never seen the northern part of our great United States I almost immediately decided to travel up north and see that part of our union, hoping that 1 might also see some of my old classmates. Consequently, leaving the ranch in the caring hands of old Estaban. I left for San Antonio. There I registered at the Gunter. Hardly had I finished my writing than the real mission of the article was begun, for looking at the Express lying beside the register I read “Charles M. Crowe steps into presidential chair” and a few lines below I read that Lucien L. Hopper was appointed secretary of the treasury. Reading on into the paper I found many interesting articles. Harry M. Johnson home from a tour of continent in interest of Crowe’s election. Another article stated that Alice Shackleford was one of the private secretaries in the White House. In the advertising columns there were ads from James Graves, a lawyer, Tobias and Kallison, real estate agents. James Brewer, in a plumbing and pipe fixtures concern. Another ad on the same order, Willis Dockery and Dick Carrigan in partners as general contractors. The next morning as I thought only right I paid homage to Main High. There stood the same old school except for the addition of a new and beautiful gymnasium. I wished I could again hold my head up in answer to questions especially when I saw Fred Abbot teaching shop. Willie Procter at the head of the math, department, Frances Williams teaching English and Eugenia Brannon history. That evening downtown I met Robert Martin, he seems to be an electrical engineer for the Public Service Co. Later I met Amelia Patino with a big roll of papers. She is secretary and stenographer for some office in the Central Trust building. She told me of Lillian Metzler and Frieda I apidus who have a dancing studio, and of Ruby Fly and Zylpha Coulter who are efficiently taking care of the Carnegie Library. As I left that night for New Orleans I ordered a car to take me to the S. P., and who should be driving but Melvin Wolf. On the train I met Mr. and Mrs. M. T. Head. Mrs. Head was a few weeks before no other than Gwendolyn Mull. One of tho conductors on the train turned out to be Theodore Williamson. Upon arriving in New Orleans 1 got a service car. but was not fortunate in finding another June ’20 driving. While in this city I ran across Sanford Twente. one of New Orleans busiest business men. He told me of Ruth Coddington, a very capable county clerk. His opinion on women suffrage was the same as mine so we started no argument. In the windows of “Ye Lid Sliope” I saw many complicated hats and by a small sign I saw that the “shope” was owned by Inez Alvord and Carol King. One of the wide awake cops, I mean officers in New Orleans is Garrett Karcher. At one of the big department stores I was waited on by Pauline DeLeon and Angelic Ilerrara. Before leaving New Orleans for Montgomery on the Southern Pacific Air Line, I had lunch at the Ten Yen Cafe’, Clara Haag was the Chinese cook. One Hundred Thirteen Prophecy of the June ’20 Glass (Continued) At Montgomery I met Mary Green, now Mrs. Wonder Whosheis teaching in Nashville along with Virginia Priest and Ruby Owens, all union teachers. From Montgomery I went to Palm Beach. The beach reminded me very much of New Braunfels. There I ran across Margaret Bradford wearing a suspicious looking ring, Elizabeth Danforth, and Frankie Newton. At a hotel I found Mary Mason who like the rest was down from the north. Mary knew of Edith Grubb. Mary Lois Davis and Lylie Hamner, all who are sailing the great ship of life with a partner. The next morning I took the boat to Charleston. The boat was electrically driven by one of Girard Garrett’s latest models. At Charleston I met the “fishermen three” not “Wynkin, Blynkin and Nod” but Eugene Brisco, Arthur Leman and Gus Krause. The end of the second week of my northern tour found me in the governing city, Washington. The first place 1 visited was the capitol and as luck had Its way I met many people coming from the days session. Among the crowd were Lillian Baldwin and Barbara Brown, representative and senatores, of Texas, Victor Creighton. Senator of North Carolina, Sap, beg your pardon, I mean Honorable Robert Harding of Pennsylvania, Frances Hamilton Senatoress of Alabama and Frances Palmer representative of Montana. 1 almost thought I was at Main as so many Junes came out. Everett Mullin and William Nagel, as I found out, were the White House janitors. In a cafe one day I met Osmond Hess, one of Washington’s business men. He pointed out to me the offices of Reed and Trott, patent attorneys. A few minutes later Guy Rail came in. The sky is his limit, he is manager of the I. G. N. air lines. I bought a paper from a squaking little brat and it seemed more a Huisache than a daily paper, for there was an ad, Mac Fellar and Rains DuBose selling cars and airplanes. Estelle Storms leads society in Washington. One article of interest was that of Maria Taylor conducting and supervising plays at some big theatre. On leaving the cafe I encountered Mac Russ holding up a lamp post or maybe the lamp post was holding up Mac. Now it is not so bad as you think. Mac Is the best secret service man in Washington, even if he does say so himself. A minute later Walter Gorman came up and gassed awhile. Walter's wish has come true, he has a great line of groceries across the United States. After a weeks stay in Washington I went on to Baltimore. The first person I mel was a cop, by name Steger Alexander, with a coppish looking face. At an art studio I discovered Lillian Butler leading an artists life, un her Victrola I was delighted to hear pieces by Maurine Heard and Kathleen Moore, then a grand opera by Idella Adelman. one of our latest prima donnas. Before leaving for Philadelphia the next evening, I was attracted by the big advertising sign of Gunkel. Haselbauer and Korn, contractors and builders. In Philadelphia at a noted hospital I saw Dale McCoy, now a physician and surgeon. Here I also found, dressed in white aprons and caps, Frances Valentine, Ruth Rigsby, Jessie Rogers and Mignon Glover. Over in the park I bought a paper to help pass the afternoon away and read the baseball news. Pill-breaker Conoly, I saw would catch for the Cincinnati Reds while New York had Roy Phillips for first baseman. Philadelphia claimed South Paw-Parr as their own. One Hundred Fourteen Prophecy of the June ’20 Class (Continued) Helen Muegge predominated in the society page while over on the sport page Ralph Bonnett scored a big section with his boxing rounds. A very interesting article was that about Charles J. Schuessler who is up around the north pole. He talks back to civilization every day through his wireless telephone. Another article quite interesting was that of detective Roy Nove digging up a clue to some great mystery. After I had read Burman McGehec’s humorous cartoons I walked back to the hotel thinking what a school day I had had. But it was not all over for I met Annette Johnson and Lillie Mae Hagner coming from a new theatre, the interior of which these two artists are decorating. After seeing most of this big city I took the evening fly to New York on a local air line. I registered at a down town hotel and found waiting there for me a letter from my sister Mary who is writing many wonderful stories for a number of magazines. On the directory I noticed the name of George Parker from St. Paul. Evidently he must be a business man or the like. After dinner I walked down the business streets and entered a movie. At this theatre I heard .Celeste Briscoe giving some beautiful violin selections. Dalton Magruder tried to break his neck on a trapeze while Jess Smoot pulled off some “third act” stuff in a melodrama. At the Times office the next day I saw the editor-in-chief, Raymond Thorne, Marjory Del Mouley and Eleanor Terry society editors, William F. Brice, business manager and Rigsby Hammond, advertising manager, and Bartlett McMellan sport editor, a Walter Camp of today. In a paper I got from there I found out that it was lone Riley that was responsible for this seasons fashions. On the baseball page Edwin Cartwright’s name was among the Giants. Margaret and Elizabeth Daniels are the leading lawyers in the Metropolis, according to their ads. While at the docks one day, watching the ships. I met James O’Leary. He was just leaving for his dear Ireland. I rested all afternoon and read the Saturday Evening Post in which I read stories and articles by Kathryn Ball and Barbara Eikel. Barbara also spends a lot of her time telling stories in libraries and kindergardens to many little tots. In Buffalo, a week later, 1 bumped into Herbert Herndon, one of the greatests electrical engineers. His work here was damming up rivers to get power for electricity. While in Buffalo I found George Dashiell selling cars and airplanes, both electrically equipped. Later I ran across Frank Benavidas, a lawyer. At a down towrn drug store, owned by Zan Erskine, I met Martha Lewis, a champion soda jerker. From her I got the necessary information regarding many June twenties. Olga Kariger turned out to be a secretary in some office. Ruth Gildermeister changed her name to Mrs. O. U. Jazzband. Bessie Burnett and Cornelia Chapman are both teaching in Pittsburg. By boat I went to Cleveland wdiere a taxi-driver, who was Elmore Berendt. drove me around the city. At a bank where I got some A. B. A. checks cashed. I found Robert Craig and Maurice Thompson. I talked with these two bankers for quite a while and just as 1 was leaving, William Lackey entered. Mr. Lackey as I understand it is an insurance agent. Chicago was the next big city on my route. There 1 wras pleased to see Kathryn Pullen in her desired office, that of a lawyer. At the post office, where I mailed some letters, was Pearl Nixon at a stamp window. She told me that both Helen Knowles and Yvonne Anderson had changed their names. One Hundred Fifteen Prophecy of the June ’20 Class (Continued) At a theatre where I generally spent my evenings, I found Melton Pegues in the box selling tickets and inside 1 enjoyed a Burton comedy. It was more than I could do to tell Marie and Louise apart. Ray Moskowitz held the audience by her songs and dances, but it took Helen Gomez to give a serious act, a grand opera. A day or two later I met Arvella Mechling who was getting ready for a tour over Europe. After that I met Kathleen Willis and Julia Bell Mitchell coming from a meeting of the Woman's Clubs. Edith Housden was with them, she as I understood, teaches music lessons. At the hotel I met William Hankie. This oil magnate was just up from his oil fields. While traveling he saw John Pancoast and as Bill says, he was a professional flirt when off duty but a cashier at other times. Bill also knew of Mildred Duggan, a piano accompanist for the great artists at the Edison Company. On a sign on a new building across the street I saw that George Scallorn was the contractor and Francis Shumway the architect. On the big electric boat I sailed through Lakes Michigan and Superior to Duluth. The boat was captained by Wilbert Williams and on deck I found Bessie Bell, only under another name. Anna Van Ness and Grace Boothe were also on the boat. They seemed to be just vamping around seeing the world. They had seen only Bernice Milburn, on the stage, an oriental dancer in Kansas City, and Aeolia Osborn in Des Moines, teaching. By air I went to Seattle. Arthur Mueller, a traveling salesman and Archie McFarland, an air line inspector, were both on the same plane. At Seattle the only one of interest that I saw was Edwin Bradford just down from his mines in Alaska. A few days in this city and I came down the coast to San Francisco. In this wonderful city I met many of our movie stars in person, Edna Ruwe, who owns her own corporation and a big blue Stutz. Thera Seawell and our modern Mary Pickford, Mary Oliver. She also has her own picture concern. I did not get to see John Henry Weymouth, the great astronomer in San Francisco or any of the other men of science such as Conrad Romberg who is studying the powers of radium, or Bill Postlewaite who is experimenting with colored photography. Almost hidden in a large new Cadillac, one day, I found Rae Stout. Rae with her usual knowledge, knew of many twenties, including Mary Hodges and Margeret Ellis both singing for the Columbia Company, Lottie Stark an architect somewhere in the city, Dorothy Green an artist in Denver, Colorado, and last Ethyl Reneburg who is married and living in one of the eastern states. In the paper that night I saw a lengthy account of Elizabeth King’s marraige which took place in Sacramento. Dorothy McCampbell as I saw from the ads was to sing a week later at the new opera house. Another ad gave the bill for a vaudeville theatre, it ran something like this. House Baker Jameson in “Oscilations, Vibrations and Twirls,” Lelia Love Barker in ‘‘Kute Kut Ups,” and then sense and nonsense in which Ruth McFarland brought in her every day humor. After seeing enough of San Francisco and its wonders I sailed on down to Los Angeles. One Hundred Sixteen Prophecy of the June ’20 Class (Continued) In a small stucco house by a park I was amused by a sign above the entrance which read “Ben F. Wise, Information to Tourists.” Soon after I met Leon Turner. He explained that the bag of papers he had were poems and stories for a popular magazine. He also had a write up about a leading movie star, Francis De Lesdenier. While passing an automobile concern one day, 1 was attracted by the new models of cars, and before I was aware Volney Dibrell was at my elbow telling me all its merits. Inside I met Griswold Gillette and Gilbert Colesworthy. Across the street I was informed, were the hair parlors of Isabel Martin and Hortense Pizzini. A week later I had a long talk with Tom Tirado who is leading missionaries to the Isle of Hocus Pocus. Going along with him were Ethel Zoller, Edith Wasserman, Frances Vexlar, Helen Pipkin, Helen Marie Hoefgen and many others. Realizing that my time was getting short I took a through train to San Antonio. At Phoenix I got a paper and found an article about the big swimming and diving event in Boston. Bess Spears seems to have taken most of the cups and medals, in the society page, where I generally found interesting news, was the announcement of Marjorie Manghams marriage which took place in Salt Lake City. At El Paso I saw Emilio Chapa. The ranch life interested him and he now owns the Loma Redonda Ranch ner El Paso. At a small station near Del Rio I met J. V. Drisdale. He is not only leading a ranch life but is president of the Texas cattle Raisers Association. Another two hours ride and I was once more in San Antonio. Rafael Gonzales took me to the Menger in his service car. On Alamo Plaza I heard the well known song of the town crier only Floyd Walker was doing the talking. Doctor Jack Wheat had lunch with me and told me of Glayds Waltrip and Maria Venzor who were nurses at the P. and S. Hospital. In the Express I noticed that Judge Taylor had just returned from Austin on business, and that Marion Ball was doing a lot for society. Reading that Main Avenue High School was to have their graduation exercises that evening I decided to slip in and see it. Mary Haile Austin and Lenora Love Barker, two teachers I had not seen when I was there in March let me in and I found to my great delight that our little mascot, Miss Faynetta Burleson was the beautiful class president of the June ’37’s. While down town the next day I met Walter Newell who is a jeweler. At Wolff and Marx I was waited on by Aurora Gonzales and as I was leaving I ran across Leonard Mitchell who as I soon found out was a surveyor to the North East well. I was happy to be back on the hills but what gave me most pleasure was the thougnt that I had ‘seen all my old class mates, all making good, scattered far and wide over all the United States. Before I sign this monotonous tale I wish to beg anyone’s pardon if I nave given them a job that they didn’t want. Should you change, change for a better not for worse. And let us not forget our sponsers who did so much toward making the June ’20’s the greatest of all classes. It is to Miss Scofield and Mr. Burleson that we owe all honor and appreciation for the wonderful help they have given us in our senior year. (Signed) JACK PATTERSON 6 8 20. One Hundred Seventeen We were fresh as the dew of a rose. Green as the grass on the lawn. Vet hope in our face did repose, Shakingly we trod on and on. We gazed at the yawning portals, We paused and breathed a sigh. What was the fate of us young mortals, Within those walls so high ? Would hands in welcome clasp our own? Would kindly hearts show us the lay? Or would our path with thorns he sown, And rough and rugged be our way? These days of awe did soon pass by, Our green was soon effaced, We were regular “guys” of old Main High, We learned the ropes, and knew our place. We were off on the road to knowledge, On the path that leads fo fame. Bravely we summoned our courage. For deeds to credit our name. Our goal stood clear against the sky, Our way was not so hard, Some aimed low and some aimed high. But each and all. we played our part. And now the years have rolled around, Our work is well neigh done, We’ve had our ups. we’ve had our downs, And some have lost, but most have won. We’ve had good times and lots of fun. But always had our goal in view, And now our race is almost won, We’ve been loyal, brave and true. We have set a good example, Have placed our standards high, Our rules were good and ample, For all to profit by.

Surely you’ve heard of it before now but you don’t know the half. I shall try to state facts and keep from giving you my own opinion of the members of the class. They are truly a class of intelligent thoughtful types of present day Americans. The class sponsors arc Miss Parr and Mr. Pfeiffer. We have tried to follow their helpful guidance and we owe much of our success to their ingenuity. For our officers we were very discriminating, choosing capable and efficient students of whom we may well feel proud. Our class was represented in the “Mother Goose Rhymes” parade Wednesday evening, April 21st and in the “Battle of Flowers”— parade April 23rd. The whole class being on a beautifully decorated float in the latter. The class has participated in several pleasing social functions. The (irst was a “Tacky Party” at the home of Mr. Robt. Colglazier. All honors to the one who could have sat through it with a solemn expression. Our next bit of enjoyment was given us in the form of a Picnic at New Braunfels. That needs no comment. On May 15th we entertained the June ’20 Class with a dance in the lobby at old Main, an event which they as well as we shall prize as a pleasant memory. I now leave the thoughts of what we have done to take up those of what we expect to do. We are now the “beginning” of what will be the next and best class to leave Main Avenue High.

Our history has been short but brimming full of good times and interesting plans for the future. At the time of organization our class was small, but the membership has grown so rapidly and enthusiastically that it seems only natural to suppose that the June Twenty-one Class will be larger than any of the preceding graduation classes. We have had several thoroughly enjoyable social functions. These activities began with a picnic in Brackenridge park which was closely followed by a party at Main Avenue for the Freshmen. As the space is limited, we cannot allow ourselves to indulge in all the numerous superlatives that the descriptions of these events would demand. The class as a whole is thoroughly interested in athletics. Our vice-president is captain of the champion Girl’s Basket Ball Team of San Antonio. Most of the other members of the team are in the Junior Class also. We take it upon ourselves to say that the success of our Baseball Team depended somewhat on the rooting of the Junior Class, if not always in a body, then individually. We have strong lungs, which we believe in using. Our class is young. Our experiences are preparing us for next year when we shall have become seniors. Our future lies before us in the form of a long white road paved with our ambitions, our desires and good intentions. We are being guided down this road by two of the best and most competent of the faculty Miss Brunet and Miss Canales. We the Juniors, feci that if we are successful, and we will be, it will be due to our sponsors Misses Canales and Brunet, and to our principal, Mr. Howard who have helped and advised us in all of our undertakings.

On December 21, the Sophomores enjoyed an elaborate dance at the Woman’s Club. This occasion was complete with delicious punch and a jazzy orchestra. The first social function given after the new officers and social committee took their places in February, was a dance given at the High School on the night of March 13, 1920. This dance was the first given in the school building for many years. Left in the hands of our illustrious social committee this dance was an elaborate one. The decorations were made in St. Patrick’s Day colors, green and white. There was a record attendance, the floor being almost too crowded for comfortable dancing. The music which was rendered by an orchestra composed of school pupils, was the best that could be hoped for. The Sophomores held a small picnic at Brackenridge Park on March 26. After playing games, dancing and various other kinds of amusement, everyone ate until he had become uncomfortable. The Sophomore Class was represented with two floats in the “Fables of Fairyland” parade during the Fiesta week. One float portrayed “Red Riding Hood” (Patricia Gunn) sitting in front of the bed in which the wolf, supposedly her grandmother, was sleeping. This was a very clever float and Miss Gunn made a very realistic Red Riding Hood with her flowing red cape. On the other float Ethel Ryan and Forrest Reed portrayed “.Jack and Jill”. This also was a very clever float. Jack and Jill were sitting at the bottom of a small hill while at the top was the well where Jack had probably dropper his pail. . The grand finale of the Sophomores social functions of 1919-20, was a masquerade dance given at the school. There were, of course, many comical and magnificent masquerades. This dance was enjoyed by many, mostly because of the splendid music produced by San Antonio’s jazziest museians. Everyone who attended went away with the feeling that, if the Sophomores of next year intend to come up to the present Sophomore joy standard, there is One Hundred Twenty-nine One Hundred Thirty FRESHMAN CLASS Motto “If the elevator of success is broken, climb the stairs.” Colors Purple and Pink.

The class was going to organize at last! There was a babble of questions as to where they were going to meet, for in the excitement of hearing the astounding news, all else was forgotten. After school a crowd of Freshies were seen going toward Room 122. where the meeting was to take place. Mr. Howard then called the meeting to order, and the business of electing officers was begun. The discussion was a long and hot one, till finally Miss I aura Norma Friedlander, who has proven to be well fitted for the office, had the honor of being elected president. The vice-president Miss Marcella Kurts, was then elected; and the class certainly showed good judgment in electing two such very capable officers. As a secretary has to be a person willing to work, it took a very long time to chose one; but finally everyone agreed that Israel Dobic was the best for that office. The class then adjourned to meet again at a called meeting the following Monday. At this meeting the rest of the officers were elected, and they were as follows: Treasurer, Alvaretta Kabe; Reporter, Jeanne White; and Sergeant-at-Arms, Charles May. Plans for a picnic to be given soon were discussed, and Tuesday set as the regular meeting-day. The class adjourned feeling proud that they belonged to one of the most peppy classes in school. The date for the picnic, Tuesday, April 13, was finally agreed on after much discussion at the next two meetings. The following committees were appointed to take charge of picnic: Refreshments, Chairman. Alvaretta Rabe. and Social, Chairman, Marcella Kurts. Our sponsors, Miss Smith and Mrs. Nance, promised to be present, much to our delight; and all hopes were bright for a good time. The Chief attraction of the picnic, as always has been, were the eats”. An’ oh boy! there sure were some eats. Everybody felt as if the mild efforts at Thanksgiving and Christmas were as nothing compared with this. We had “soda pop.” candy, cake, sandwiches, ’n’everything. Minor attractions were tennis and baseball. It was a throughly happy, tired group that finally separated, all agreeing that they had enjoyed one of the best times they had ever known. At the next meeting our president announced that the Juniors had decided to enter tain the Freshies by giving them an apron and overall party” on Friday, April 23, 1920. They promised us a genuine old-fashioned party, and they certainly kept their promise well. We played Blind-man’s-buff. Wink’em, Slip the ring, and all the games that were new when grandma was a little girl; but still are enjoyed by all. Ice-cream and cake were served, and although it was (or rather supposed to be) and old-fashion party, we weren't above mixing modern ways (such as dancing) with old ones. As the Freshies have a reputation for knowing howr to have a good time, they certainly out did themselves at the Junior’s expense. With an able social committee to manage all affairs”, everyone feels sure that the Freshie Class of 1920” is one of the best organized at good Old Main High.” Dorothy Bok.nneh, Historian.

The plan, as worked out in our school, is one by which every member of the Student Body is represented. One student from each Advisory is elected by its members to represent them. The students thus elected form the Student’s Council, upon which falls the duty of solving all important problems that arise within the Student Body. The first meeting of the Council was called on .March 19. when Student Government became an established and important factor in the school. Though only organized one term the Council has made its influence felt. One of the greatest problems, that of traffic regulation during the change from one class to another, has been solved. Where there used to be great jams of massed pupils, in which many precious moments were lost, one now finds orderly groups going swiftly from class to class. A murmcr for the change of hours has long been heard from the students but only thru the Council.could it be recognized. By a unanimous vote of the Student Body and the consent of Mr. Howard school hours were changed from 9 till 3 to 8:30 till 2:30. These were the two biggest things undertaken and accomplished by the Student’s Council this term. However many minor matters, such as the petitions and cards of appreciation from the Student Body were handled by the Council. With such a start and with such enthusiastic support from the students and faculty the Student’s Council should be a great factor in placing Main Avenue on the highest plane of honor, courtesy and co-operation.

Miss Margarita Canales. As the fall term of 1919 opened. Miss Canales with Mildred Duggan set earnestly to work and practically reorganized the club. It wasn’t long after that before everything was in full swing with a corp of diligent officers. Mildred Duggan as president. The girls remember with delight the jolly Halloween party (the first social of the year), staged at Grey Gillett’s spacious barn; and there the new executives and members were installed. Meanwhile we launched into “Much Ado About Nothing” with a great deal to do about it. This delightful play of Shakespeare’s was much enjoyed. With regret the November party had to be given up; but extra energy was bent toward the big event of the term; a dance at the Country Club during the Christma;; Holidays honoring our February graduates. Because of an inefficient clerk at the club, dates were confused; hense the affair was not the success we had planned. Then came the last social of that semester, the annual Twelfth Night party. The President and her mother took the honor of hostesses this time, and gave the girls a “sure nuff good time.” The time had come now-for electing the new officers to serve the Spring term, of 1920, and the popular Vice-President was given her well deserved promotion. On February the twenty-fifth she (Barbara Brown) entertained us formally in her home. Here the newest members and officers were sworn in; and we started the new term with a fresh bound. “As You Like It” was the chosen play for the term. The Menger and April the sixteenth will be synonimous in the minds of many people after the wonderfully successful dance there. This time there were no mistakes, and everything came off “first rate”. I the giri’s assembly given April the twentieth, celebrating San Jacinto Day, the Shakes chose lone Riley and Abby Duggan to represent them. At the last minute, it was found that lone Riley could not take her part; so the boys Glee Club substituted. As Abby Duggan and they were received appreciatively, the Shakes feel that their failure at the inter-club vaudeville last spring has been fully redeemed. “Our revels now are ended. These cur actors, As I tore told you. were all spirits, and Arc melted into air, into thin air— ♦ We are such stuff As dreams are made of; and our little Hie Is rounded with a sleep.

Each year the Clubs have what they call “inter club” contests consisting of debates, declamation, and extemporaneous speaking. The debates are composed of three teams from each club and the club winning the most decisions thru their three teams wins a very beautiful and prized loving cup. This year the Hayne won the cup, and while we did not win out in the inner club declamation contest fortune favored us, and a Hayne man represented Main against Brackenridge. Every year there is a contest as to who shall represent Main against Brackenridge in debate. This year both representatives were Hayne men. This last, was indeed an honor, as the teams that contest are not chosen as a team, but one man from each may be chosen. The “inter clul)?’ dance in which the three Boy’s clubs entertained the three Girl’s Clubs at Harmony Hall was put thru with much pleasure and expect ion on the part of the Haynes. A mock trial was not had. much to the sorrow and disappointment of many, due to the fact that several of the members were June graduates and had too much study and class work.

Symington and Dr. Bierghurst. The name “Philomathean”, a Greek word meaning “Lovers of Learning” and the Motto, “Sapientem Sequemur”. (We follow wisdom) were chosen. The need for a girl’s debating club had been felt for a long time and the instant and steadily growing success of the “Phils” has proved beyond a doubt that they are fulfilling this need. The “Phils” began to achieve their more notable successes about 1917 when Edith Schneider won the State Declamation Contest and again when Helena Price carried us to second place. Last year Naomi Cocke entered the final debate Contest in which girls were allowed, and won the preliminaries. This year as well as last the “Phils” were the one to enter the Declamation Contest, and though they lost to Bracken-ridge in the end we admire their pluck. We hope that in the future years the “Phils” may be able to continue in their paths of success and add future laurels to those already gained.

From the very start of the year the Club started on its way to success or rather continued on its way to success. The membership at first was small, but due to the membership committee and the officers of the Club it grew very fast. Members realized what advantages they got from joining a debating club and told others to enable them to avail themselves of the opportunity offered to them. Many of the members were inexperienced and did not understand the art of talking when they entered the Club; but they realized that the Jeffersonians Literary Society had a name deeply imprinted in the halls of fame, and that it was up to them to continue the good work. With every member co-operating with his fellow members, the Club was soon going full blast. Snappy debates and speeches that inspired every listener were on the program every Friday. The “Freshies” coming into High School always found a friend in the Jeffs even though they were not members. The athletic teams of the school always found a stanch and loyal friend in the Club. A week before the debate several members of the team were taken ill anil their places filled with willing members, even though they knew they had no chance of winning. In declamation the Jeffs were victorious, and another cup was added to many the Club already possessed. During October and November the Inter Club Debates were held in which the three Jeff debating teams were entered. The first team was composed of Gilbert Parr and Robert Craig, the second team was Donald Carson and Clem Seng. Victor Creighton and Russell Harpole made up our third team. “Resolved that Railroads should be owned and operated by the Government, constitutionally granted” was the question debated by the first team. The Philippine Question was the subject discussed by the second team. The third team debated on the Illiteracy Test. Due to inexperience of the participants in these Debates, a number were lost to the other Clubs but with true Jeff pluck they entered these events with their little experience staring them bodly in the face. A Jeff never quits, he fights to the finish. The Inter Club Declamation Contest was held, Mr. James Hirshfield entered as the Jeffersonian representative, with “America and Patriotism” by Arch Bishop Ireland, as his declamation. Mr. Ilirshfield was given first place by the judges. Mr. Albert King entered the Oratorical Contest for the Jeffs. This young man entered Main Avenue High in September and was elected a Jeff in the same month. He, as it will be remembered, was the winner in a contest here at High School a year ago, among the many grade schools students of the city. Mr. King gave, in the more recent contest, “Intervention of Mexico” as his oration, as to delivery he gave it in a style befitting a Jeff representative but as the other participants were some years senior to this plucky young Jeff the contest was won by the Congress representative, Mr. William Hankla.

D. Pullen Frank Vaden David Baxt One Hundred Fifty Congress Review With the opening of school in September, the Congress Debating Society was well into the running order of its work, having held a summer session in the month of August to arrange for the work of the insuing term. Outside of the regular meetings, which always prove to be marked with unusual interest and heated enthusiasm, the first large affair was the celebration of “Congress Tenth Anniversary” which was held in connection with a merited program in the school auditorium. Here a spirited debate was held between the Congress first and second teams, the former surviving—and a number of selections by the Congress Quartet. The speaker of the evening was Main's Principal, Prof. J. F. Howard, past active sponsor of Congress, who told of glory of our club in all its many years of existence. The club considered it a great honor to have the President of the Philomath eans, Miss Lottie Stark, as presiding officer. Next in the line of events were the annual Inter Club Meets. Here the Congress hotly contested their old time rivals, the Jeffs and the Haynes, turning loose, when the dust cleared up, of the debate and declamation cups, won by the club last year, but gaining an unusual victory in Oration. The club’s three teams consisting of John H. Weymouth and Guy Rail, first, Harry Johnson and Burnam McGehee, second, Leon Turner and Julian Blair, third, held four victories out of the six contests debated by them, while our declaimer. Walter Gorman, fought a hard but losing contest to the Jeffs. William Hankla. as Congress Orator, brought back honors in that clash. Probably one of the largest achievements of our society in dramatic circles, was the successful presentation of the “Chinese Lanterns” in partnership with the High School Dramatic Club. Through the efforts of these two clubs Main boasted the honor of staging the biggest hit of the season. On closing the first term with the semi-annual Congress Banquet at the Original Mexican Restaurant, orators of the day waxed well in commemorating the work of Congress. With the placing of one at the helm of unusual ability in literary lines, notably William Hankla, past secretary of the club, the Congress again took rapid strides in a promising direction. Not only has Congress persued a literary and dramatic course but it has furnished a large proportion of Huisache weekly and annual editors and a still greater proportion of their respective staffs. In 1919 Jack Woodcock and Herbert Oliver successfully sponsored the June and February papers, while in the present time Raymond Thorne assumed the responsibility of the Weekly. The first social of this term took the form of a hay-ride, which proved a success in many ways. Outside of the supreme enjoyment of the affair, a great deal of amusement was caused by the staging of a mock trial with Harry Johnson (who got left on said hay-ride) as defendant charges with stealing the 300 missing wieners. The jury returned a verdict of death. Beginning this year Main ushered in a new contest known in public speaking as the “Extempore Speaking.” Here the Congress representative came out with the goods, but held the honors only long enough to loose them to Brackenridge High in the State Interscholastic Elimination. In the State Declamation and school Extempore contests Harry Johnson made second place, in Stale Debate the Congress first team, Messrs Weymouth and Rail, also took second honors in the school elimination. Another of the affairs into which Congress entered was the annual Inter Club Dance given at the Harmony Hall. It was a great social and was appreciated by all. Especially did the music, which was furnished by a high school orchestra, deserve high praise. With the closing it was seen that the ideals of the beginning were lived up to with the highest compensation, and Congress strengthened itself for the insuing term with a Farewell Banquet at the Original. Throughout the entire year the meetings and accomplishments of Congress have been a due credit to the clubs traditions, and will serve as an inspiration for the future.

Under the efficient leadership of the presidents, Ruth Cain and Elenor Terry, and the sponsor, Miss Pearl West, the club lias accomplished more than every before. The first social affair of the year was given at the V. W. C. A. on Hallowe’en with the Congress Debating Club as guests. The originality shown in the costumes and entertainment made the affair a huge success. The Club attended the Tenth Anniversary of the Congress Debating Club in a body. On December the 19th the Congress Debating Club joined the Dramatic Club in presenting “The Chinese Lantern.” This was one of the most successful plays ever presented in the Main Avenue High School Auditorium and was a fair sample of the Club’s dramatic talent. On January 1st the club attended an open house with the Philomatheans as hostesses. The new numbers were initiated at the home of Cozette Lawrence. On January 24th the club entertained its out going seniors with a Majestic Matinee party followed by delicious refreshments at the Wolff and Marx tea room. All during the term the club took cake, candy and flowers to the soldiers in the base hospital at Camp Travis. In the beginning of spring term the club took up the study of the “Blue Bird” by Maurice Maeterlinck. This was very fascinating and uplifting as well as beautiful in thought. The work of decorating the teachers reading room was taken up and much was done to make it a more cozy and comfortable place. In March the Club had a delightful picnic on the Leon Springs Creek. The early spring flowers were a joy and the cold water afforded great amusement. The club had a splendid dance, an old fashioned quadrille, in the assembly given by the Girl’s Clubs. A few weeks later the new members were taken out to the lovely home of Muriel Drake and there were initiated. On one of the last Saturdays in the term the Club ended its years course by entertaining its seniors with a Majestic Party. Later a social hour at the Japanese gardens of Bracken-ridge Park was enjoyed by the Dramatics and their friends. The school year for 1919-20 closed with every Dramatic feeling that it had been a most profitable and enjoyable one in every respect.

As is always true with every such undertaking the charter members met with many discouragements and defeats. But cheered on by the indomitable courage and undying enthusiasm of Miss Brown, the sponsor, the Club has accomplished more than those first members even dared dream of. The first of the year the leadership was entrusted to the care of Janice Brown a most inthusiastic art student and worker. With many additional members and Miss Wyatt as associate sponsor, the Club was ready to earnestly fill the place in the busy life of Main High. Besides a number of social affairs the Club held three exhibits; one of Colonial antiques; another of Persian rugs and the last, of Alaskan and Mexican Pottery. Those discriminating students who went to any of these exhibits came away feeling that the Art Club was truly doing something worth while. Though the members go on long and interesting sketching expeditions and experiment in “Batic” and “Tie Dye”; their aim lies not so much in developing individual talent as in cultivating a sincere appreciation of art and a love of all that is beautiful. The club will suffer greatly in the loss of Miss Brown and Miss Wyatt, but with such an inspiration as they leave behind, there is no reason why the Main Avenue Art Club should not fill their place in our school more fully and effectively than ever before.

The fact that the boys showed unusual interest in the development of the club and its work, along with the instruction of Miss Norman V. Owen, accounts for the success that they have made. From the very beginning of its organization, the entire membership has displayed much enthusiasm and put forth their best efforts to make it a club that would bring honor and credit to Main Avenue High School, and the “Chanters” have certainly succeeded in accomplishing their object. Besides winning the favor of their principal and student boby by singing at assemblies, they have won the admiration of the people of the city; also that of the state. They have made a number of successful public appearances this season, including a twilight concerr during the Christmas holidays, when they sang a programme of carols in the balcony at the Wolff Marx Department Store, a concert at the Liberty Theatre at Camp Travis, a concert at the market house Americanization center, and the drawing event of the year being their appearance at the convention of the State Federation of Music Clubs at the St. Anthony hotel. The club is a valuable asset to the high school, and enjoys the distinction of being the only male choral organization in the city. One Hundred Fifty-nine The Main Avenue Orchestra HUE MAIN AVENUE ORCHESTRA was originated only a few years ago. The first one which was under the directorship of Mrs. Griesenbcck consisted of about ten or twelve pieces. At the present time there are thirty members and the instrumentation is well balanced. This High School Orchestra is not only considered the best of its kind in the city but the best south of St. Louis. All of the success of the Orchestra is due to the splendid leadership of Miss Norma Owen. Under the competent direction of Miss Owen the orchestra in the last twro years has risen from the third place in the state to the first. The orchestra activities for the school year of l!)l!)-‘20 have been many and varied. It is always in demand for all school activities such as plays, commencement exercises, baccaluareate services, assemblies, faculty parties, and receptions given by the school. One of the Annual Musical events of the school year was the Orchestra concert given for the benefit of the Musical department of this school. Outside of these school activities this organization has appeared in concert at the Community House, at the Liberty Theatre of Camp Travis, and before the San Antonio Woman’s Club. The hope of the whole school is that we may draw Miss Owen with us again next year to make as great a success of our musical department as she has this years.

Kalb One Hundred Sixty-two OCTOBER 9, 1919 00 GIVE a correct and full account of the social activities of this gay ____ year of 1920 it will he necessary to delve deep into ancient history. The Students of Main have almost forgotten many of the things that have happened. But they will be sure to remember, despite the many subsequent enjoyable events that have since occurred, the first assembly of this season in which Judge Ply and Mr. E. V. White spoke. It opened with the singing of the “Star Spangled Banner” by the students. Mr. Abbott presided behind a vase of American Beauty roses. The first number on the program was a reading by Wisensett Bain, of one of Joaquin Miller’s poems. Jeanette Levytansky then gave a beautiful vocal solo. Jesse Lee Wolf gave the reading “I Ain’t Afeard of Ghosts”, followed by a clever encore. The Glee Club gave two clever selections. Mr. Abbot introduced the main speaker of the morning, Judge Ply whose subject was “Preparing for citizenship.” Mr. E. V. White gave an interesting talk on the advantages of a good education and the fatality of not grasping your opportunities. He also donated a cup for an extemporeanous speaking contest. Mr. Howard, in behalf of the school thanked Judge Ply and Mr. White for their inspiration and the pleasure afforded by their presence. OCTOBER 17 Messers Kirkpatrick and Young were presented in an enthusiastic assembly to the students of the school Thursday October 17th. Preceding their most delightful addresses Mr. Charles Crowe in charge of the assembly introduced the Girls’ chorus, who sang two interesting selections. Miss Elizabeth Herbst gave a pretty solo on the cornet. Mr. J. Floyd Smith a Y. M. C. A. man introduced Mr. Young, State Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. One of the most important points Mr. Young touched on was higher education, which is one of the greatest needs of today, because high positions can no longer be reached without a college education. The assembly ended with “My Country ’Tis of Thee”, sung by the whole Sutdcnt body. One Hundred Sixty-five October 20 FACULTY FIELD FROLIC nHE faculty honored its new members with a field frolic in the school cafeteria. Brackenridge Park was the intended objective but those responsible forgot to pray for clear weather. Mr. Hofstetter managed things. The events of the day were a Relay race, a Polly race, a three-legged race, and a standing-broad-grin; while the contesting teams were as follows: Wruntz—Adams, Allen, Perez, Chapman, Cook, Hughes, Kelley, Nicholson, Pcssels, Scofield, Parr, Murray. Heavywaits—Brunet, Canales, Mitch cl, Morey, Morgan, Owen, Smith, Strict, Theobold, I. B. West, Wyatt, Howard, Pfeiffer. Woodbbees—Baskin, Browne, Cleary, Dwenger, Finney, Guetzeit, Hall, Murray, Nance, Rogan, P. West, Jones. Slimjims—Clark, Fox, Gohmert, Vogel, Jarrell, Mayhew, Stoddard, Taylor, Hicks, May, McNeill, Stone. The relay race gave those accustomed to making high school think a chance to speed up a bit. Peanuts were transported on quarter-inch silvers the length of the race track. The Wruntz won. Their Captain, Miss Murray, being saturated with the emotional effeet of the binomial theorem cheered them on to victory. The Polly race had to do with crackers. A representative of each team coaled up on this commodity. It was intimidating the way Misses Pearl West, Kelley, Theobald and Mr. May devoured. But Miss Kelley scored first with her latest scientific methods of mastication. The three-legged race sent Smith-Wyatt, Parr-Murray, Finncy-Cleary and Vogel-Stone lunging down the race track. Much wreckage ensued. A salvage party secured something. It had “a beautiful gone look like one of the minor prophets.” One side of it was Miss Wyatt and the other Miss Smith. ‘‘Parr-Murray first place. Vogel-Stone third place,” announced the judges. An expert looked over the Vogel-Stone entry. “Mainspring clogged by contact with pink slips,” he sniffed. The standing broad grin contest, lined up the Wruntz against the Heavy-waits, and the Woodbees against the Slimjims. The object was to produce a grin. Even the flicker of a smile ousted you. One by one they fell off. Spring from the side lines was responsible for the heavy mortality. It was against the rules. But, so is life. The last of the Slimjims was Miss Stoddard and the last of the Woodbees, Miss Cleary. After half an hour, two cross-grained immunes to laughter stood nursing their grouch. These were Misses Adams and Smith. Later a lunch was served in somewhat of the Hoover style. Miss Gutzeit, as toastmistress, presented Dr. Pessels, the speaker of the occasion, who expounded his ideals on the wives of man. The affair was a big success and was of due credit to our faculty. One Hundred Sixty-six OCTOBER 23—SCHOOL HONORS ROOSEVELT Assembly of Entire School Joins in Memorial Service. At the largest assembly held this year the student body was honored by addresses on the life and ideals of the greatest American since Lincoln—Theodore Roosevelt. Many prominent teachers from both army and civilian circles were present. Mr. Meek, superintendent of the San Antonio Public schools presided. The program opened as usual with the singing the “Star Spangled Banner,” led by David Griffin, which was followed by the Battle Hymn of the Republic. An invocation on the theme of “The Examples Left by Roosevelt” was led by Chaplain Smith of the 14th Cavalry. After a few delightful selections from our orchestra. Prof. Meek introduced a student of Main who has attained an exceptionally high standard of heroism, and has received the Distinguished Service Cross. First Sergeant William Hampton. When “Bill” rose the applause was (leafing, and lasted for several minutes. The two following speakers, General Jameson and Mr. Engelking, both gave brilliant and encouraging talks on the examples set by Mr. Roosevelt. Mr. Engelkink is president of the Roosevelt Society of this city. These talks were followed by Miss Lois Farnsworth who rendered two most beautiful and charming musical selections. Miss Farnsworth was a graduate of Main Avenue in 1918. Next in order was Mr. Martin Staley, a representative of the student body, who gave a most enthusiastic talk on the ideals of Roosevelt. Mr. Staley is the commanding officer of the Main Avenue Engineer Corps. Major Sylvan Lang then gave a short address on “Using the Past to Build the Future” Mr. Lang is another of Main’s distinguished productions. In closing the student body sang “America” under the leadership of Mr. David Griffin. OCTOBER 25 The Main Avenue Art Promoters enjoyed a masquerade party at the home of the club sponsors. Miss Browne and Miss Wyatt. The Holloween motif was carried out in the reception rooms, jack-’o-lanterns, witches and black cats being used very effectively, as we can imagine from Miss Browne’s artistic temperament. Fortune telling proved to be one of the popular pastimes of the evening and with Miss Wyatt as the “medium” we all received an insight to our future. Refreshments of nuts, apples, candy, “neverthing” being served during the evening. The party adjourned with many regrets but as you know all good things must come to an end. OCTOBER 24—RUSTIC PARTY There was real old familiar, old-fashioned country gathering at the Saint Mark’s Parish House the night of Friday last. Judging from the appearance of most of the “Country Rubes,” the high and mighty Seniors might be taken out of the country, but the country couldn’t be taken out of them. In addition, the affair was carried out in a rustic manner. The fun began with a grand march. After farmer Jameson and farmerett Duggan had walked us about a mile in the same place, some of the more hungry members of the “Plowmen’s Union” discovered a couple of wash tuns of peanuts. It was then seen fit for a few of the mothers with the addition of three or four girls, who had lost their appetites for healthful walking, to hand out sticks of candy to the couples as they passed by. When the Virginia Reel was completed, those who had any jazzing instincts at all. scrambled to the floor for the first of a series of good old time rustic dances. It was not long, however, at the close of the third dance to be exact, before “Sis” Riley and “Brother” Crowe got the congregation together for a so-called pumpkin pie dance It’s a novel affair to be sure, but such rubes as we Junes will try anything once. Just as everyone was paired off and had gotten a piece of pie, the band struck up such a rag that the good sisters and brothers revised their curriculum so as to make eating and dancing one and inseparable. And, believe me folks, you ought to see that pie go. At the completion of a few more dances, a few of the more frolicsome members ot the party began to fish for apples. Notably among these was farmerette Church, other wise known as “Sib,” who forgot about the apples being in the wash tub and tried to swim for it without her bathing cap. Next in line of the fun was another Virginia Reel which concluded with the formation of “June ’20” by the whole crowd. Of course we had some Febs. along, but they were converted to Junes by this time. With a few more dances, Home Sweet Home was sounded great to the glee of the chaperones. One Hundred Sixty-seven October 25 “SHAKES” ENTERTAIN WITH HALLOWE’EN PARTY mT WAS ON the night of October 25th. About forty mysterious weird ghosts and witches gatheredJn a silent and awesome throng in .Miss Gray Gillette’s spacious barn. A huge cat’s head gazed at them from one gloomy corner, while in contract the bright and ruddy countenances of many apples grinned from their strings where they gently swayed beckoning some ghosts to nibble at them—if ghosts have teeth, which strangely (?) proved to be true! In inviting piles were other apples in front of a long background of Indian corn, while in one corner was a table groaning with—oh boy!—just ask a Shake about that punch! And oh you home-made pumpkin pies! They just melted in our mouths, which were dry from “beau-coup” roasted peanuts and fat sugary doughnuts—Yuin-yum! The ceiling was artistically draped in streamers of orange and black to help carry out the Hallowe’en motif. Three fellow-ghosts were drawn aside, where a mysterious door opened to reveal three motionless white figures forbiddingly breaking the perfect blackness of their surroundings. The victims were beckoned in, and tremblingly they entered, only to be told in an awesome voice to find the stairs and climb, climb, climb! With fear the falteringly advanced, blindly searching for the stairs that would take them, they knew no where. With no banisters to hold to they ascended and almost perpendicular stair case, which ended abruptly at a large hole. One glance, and the leader wished she could retreat ! In a dimly lit small, high ceilinged apartment were four white, awful ghosts, sitting in a row at one end and in one corner crouched the devil near a candle. A cute little figure in an orange and black frilled dress and cap greeted them. On crossing the threshold a tin sheet cracked and a horrible grating, bloodcurdling sound was heard under the stairs! What happeed next would take too long to tell; but a contest was held queer as it sounds, and if you’d like to know about it just ask a “shake.” Miss Mary Lupc won a generous box of kisses as a prize which she gave out in a most experienced way—not at all surprising though! Miss Ella Goodwin Carter received an appropriate “booby” award at the expense of everyones’ mirth. October 29 ORCHESTRA PICNIC The Main Avenue Orchestra gave a farewell picnic on October 29 for Gerald Fairbanks, our drummer, who is leaving us to make his home in Los Angeles, Cal. It was held at Brackenridge Park and here we roasted wieners, Marshmallows and faces. One feature of the evening was a relay race. Our conductress for once forgot her austerity and dignity and joined in the races like any other girl. Despite our joyful evening there was one cloud, the thought of losing our drummer. But our loss will be the Los Angeles High School's gain. The picnic was chaperoned by Miss Owen, Mrs. Owen and Mr. and Mrs. Jack Howard and children. Olle Hundred Sixty-eight October 30 MAIN HOLDS FOOTBALL RALLY An enthusiastic football rally fostered by the June ’20 class was held in the auditorium Thursday night. Charles Crowe was chairman of the rally and opened proceedings by introducing coach Harold Winters. Mr. Winters asked for the entire support of the student body and promised to produce a winner if this was given. A Ukelele duet by the famous Delery twins was the next number on the program. This made the biggest hit of the evening. Jeannette Levytansky then sang several popular selections, much to the delight of the audience. The awarding of the prizes to the girl bringing the most boys and the boys bringing the most girls. Miss Josephine Offley came upon the stage followed by a troop of fair lads when she reached the stage the whole football team lined up behind her. Other competitors for the prize after seeing this crowd refused to compete. Harvey McDonald with ten girls then trooped upon the stage and easily won the boy’s prize. A selection by the Glee Club was next upon the program. Then Mr. Taylor. Mr. Rusk and Mr. Bond gave an imitation as to how a string and should be operated. I ast Mr. Nat Washer introduced Dr. W. B. Bizzell of Texas A. M. College who gave a rousing football talk. The rally was the first big thing attempted by the June 20 class and proved a success from every viewpoint. October 31 HALLOWE’EN IS CELEBRATED BY “PHILS” On Hallowe’en night the Phils and their escorts gathered at the home of Annette Johnson to celebrate the times of all times when supernatural influences prevail. The guests were met by witches and after taking an oath under “blood and bones” were directed to follow cords which led the boys to their most beloved companion (the looking glass) and the girls to a dark secluded room to await the big event of the evening. The couples were given slips and were told that they would be tested in the art of love-making. They all seemed experienced and carried it off with the proper vim, especially the three couples that discarded their slips and had original scenes. Bobbing apples and the boiling pot soon attracted the guests into the yard where refreshments consisting of hot coffee, pumpkin pie. hamburger and toasted marshmallows wore served. Music and dancing were enjoyed thru the remainder of the evening. November 1st DRAMATIC CONGRESS PARTY Oh. it was a great success, no need to say that, as the guests will readily concede. All the Dramatics were costumed, and all the guests were masked, so the fun began at the very start with everybody trying to find out who everyboby else was. Then the boys and girls formed in separate lines and squads and things, and set out to find their future husbands and wives respectively. It was an arduous trip, as all the roads to matrimony are, and what with ghosts, and goblins, and spooky corners and stair cases, most of the people were quite satisfied with their future “spouses.” Of course the ones who were not satisfied with their first plunge into matrimony (and their name was Legion) were amply provided for in a small corner labeled, “DEATH LINGERS HERE”! After everybody was “settled for life” some bobbed apples, (you should have seen Guy when he got through) and some let a pretty fortune-teller hold their hands while she predicted what the future held for them. At the close of a few hours’ most wholesome enjoyment of the many forms of amusement provided, very pleasing refreshments of doughnuts and chicken salad. After all the goodnights were said, everybody tucked their fate—cake under then-arm to dream on later and went home, saying that they had spent a most enjoyable evening. One Hundred Sixty-nine November 6 ART EXHIBIT Persian rugs, tapestries and bronzes were arranged in a wondrous exhibit planned by the art promoters, ill’s. Rena Maverick Green most graciously offered her unusually fine collection to the students of Main Avenue High School for a whole week, beginning Thursday, November 6. The art promoters saw every student climbing skyward to the art room to view these rare treasures from a foreign land. The hostesses willingly dispensed the information visitors desired. Everyone agreed it was a most interesting and intellectual exhibit. November 7 SOPHOMORE DANCE On the night of November 7 the Sophomore Class assembled at the home of Miss Graeie Cocke, for the purpose of having a good time. Of course all the Sophs were there—you couldn’t have kept them away for the world. We also had a great number of guests. The rooms were beautifully decorated in the class and school colors—red and white. The chief pastimes of the evening were the playing of bunco and dancing. There was an unending supply of punch and cookies to refresh us when we were in need of it, which was every few minutes with some of the big drinkers. But who was that champion fisherman who fished out so many cherries and so much pineapple, “Oh, Robert”! Those that couldn’t dance, played bunco most of the evening and I’m telling you thing didn’t get dull at any of the four tables. Our beloved principal honored us with his presence, and did he enjoy' himself? Well, you just ask him. The Sophs certainly did some dancing. There were no wall flowers of either boyrs or girls, as everybody was on the go. The entire party was a huge success. November 8 GLEE CLUB GIVES PARTY A very sociable time was enjoyed by the members of the Glee Club and their lady friends. The evening was spent by playing games in which all took part. The first game that was played was bunco. The best ones at the game of Affrican golf were Miss Pay Pally and Harold Rosier. After this another interesting game, a peanut race, was played. After this cake and ice cream were served. Miss Offlcy played Home Sweet Home and the party adjourned. One Hundred Seventy November 14 FEBS ENTERTAIN WITH SPECTACULAR PARTY First Social Function of Year Takes Place at Woman’s Club. At the parlors of the Woman’s Club on Camden Street, the evening of Friday last, the February graduating class entertained with a stunt party. The Febs and their guests assembled at eight o’clock for the first feature of the evening, namely, the Pantomime, “And the Lamp Went Out.” As something of a more graceful line of argument, the audience was presented to the late refugee of Barnum Bailey’s circus, Mademoiselle Maria, who tried to show Martin Staley how to walk a tight rope without becoming excited. It might be worthy to mention that Lorene has evidently had some previous experience in that line of art. The next was an emotional act, similar to a sensational photo play. Of all the sweet Pocahontases, since the time of John Smith Helen MeQuenney played to be the cutest, when both dead and alive. It has been heard since Bobby Keith came to High School that she has a very changeable disposition, but no one ever contemplated that her savageness would reach such a great height in such a short while, as was demonstrated by her impersonation of Chief Hobo. Old Man Hessey Hirschfield then entertained the attention of the guests with a prepared oration on the subject of the orchestra from the Wilds of Africa. This combination consisted of musicians from every part of the unknown world, notably Max Feller, from the regions just south of the Cape of Good Hope, Wallace Brennon, the kazooist, from Iceland, Albert McNecl, the tomtoinist, from Honolula, Harold Rosier, the modern Fiji Island clog dancer, and Shelby Cotulla, the kazooing giraffe from Persia. All of the names of the afore mentioned were translated into English by the Hon. “Hessy”. The rest of the evening was taken up by dancing, until the mess call was sounded, the refreshments consisted of chicken salad, olives, hot rolls, and candy, daintily served by members of the February class. Dancing was again resumed and continued throughout the remaining hours of the evening. November 15 JUNIOR CLASS A great party of the Juniors was held Friday 7:30 p. m. at the Y. M. C. A. The dormitory of the Y. W. C. A. was draped in the class colors. At 7:30 o’clock all were there. Before the games commenced a piano solo was played by Elizabeth McCarty. A candy pull was then announced by the entertainment committee, the whole of the merry-makers flocked together and great merriment was caused by Miss Theobold’s and Miss Hick’s attempts at pulling candy. One Hundred Seventy-one November 16 PARENT-TEACHERS INFORMAL RECEPTION PROVES GREAT SUCCESS Over 2.000 People Attend First Open Meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association. Thursday night, November 20th, the first of the series of receptions that the Parent Teacher Association hopes to give, proved a great success. It seemed that every pupil thought it his duty to bring his parents and his parents were fully repaid for coming. The members of the February Class acted as guides for the visitors. When the visitors came in the front door they heard the clatter of many busy type writers. When they entered they saw pupils making 40 words a minute and on the walls were tests papers showing how well the pupils are drilled in speed and accuracy. The visitors were then taken by the guides and shown our full equipped office. Then they were taken upstairs to the art room and shown how the talent of pupils in that line is developed. Then after going all over the building they were taken over the famous bridge into the library. Many remarks were made on the completeness of our library. After being shown through the old central they were taken over to the Manual Arts Building. After being shown through the whole school, the guides took the visitors back to the main building into the auditorium where moving pictures were being shown. After seeing one of the characters in the comic picture break his neck a couple of times, the visitors were taken down to the cafeteria where light refreshments were being served. The high school orchestra played while the visitors ate, and then they went home after a very enjoyable evening. November 27 MISS ANNIE WEBB BLANTON ADDRESSES THE ASSEMBLY Miss Annie Webb Blanton, State Superintendent of Public instruction, addressed the students on the vital work she is doing to make the educational qualifications of the schools of Texas equal to the standards of any State. She spoke of the two kinds of education; a practical education, that of learning to do something well which will always be a means of support, second, the cultured education, that of prepairing yourself to enjoy life. In this point Miss Blanton very forcibly brought out the fact that there is one person that you MUST live all through this life and eternity, and that that person is yourself. Therefore, it behooves us to get acquainted with this person. In conclusion. Miss Blanton stressed the importance of laying a solid foundation for future citizenship, stating that the future of the State of Texas depends upon the work WE are doing now. November 26 THANKSGIVING ASSEMBLY HELD Bishop Capers Speaks Wednesday, November 26th, a Thanksgiving Assembly was held in our Auditorium. It was in charge of the February Class and proved a great success. With the rising of the curtain the entire student body rose and sang The Star Spangle Banner . Miss Mildred Burrows, the chairman, announced the first thing on the program, which was the reading of the Governers Thanksgiving proclamation by Martin Staley. Bishop Capers then was introduced and in his entertaining way told us the real meaning of Thanksgiving. Illustrating his point with a joke, much to the enjoyment of the audience, he told us how we should all be generous-spirited Americans. Then he told another joke and illustrated how he felt the school spirit rising in the audience. He wished us the best of success in the battle to be fought on the gridiron that afternoon. The assembly closed with the offering of a Thanksgiving prayer by the student body. One Hundred Seventy tico The Football Rally held last Wednesday was the most enthusistic and original one of the season. First Bart, the manager of the team, called the tribe on the stage and had them go thru the ordeal of being introduced to the crowd. Miss Burrows, upon arising to introduce the next stunt was made speechless by the arrival of farmer Bill and Eliza Jane Church, with an aggregation of Freshies dressed as farmer children. They caused a great deal of merriment despite the fact that Martin Staley, acting M. P. tried his best to keep such rubes out of an intellectual assembly. The February Jazz Band was announced and Conductor Rosier (maybe it was Brakeman) with his musical bums blew a few wicked notes and then some more. The spirits of Main and Brackenridge then entered. This proved to be a very laughable and unusual stunt. Freida Maier and Lorene Woodward were the able performers. Mr. Wilgus favored us with the song entitled, “The Bow-Legged Boy.” He led us in a number of songs to enable us to loosen up for the coming fracas. His wife Mrs. Wilgus accompanied him. Come again, Mr. and Mrs. Wilgus, we like to have you with us. Charles A. Crowe with his able assistants led us in a few war howls which ended the rally. November 29 JUNKS DEMONSTRATE ABILITY TO PAY PATHETIC HEARTS Edwin Bradford and Margaret Daniels best Allround Amateurs In the school cafeteria last Wednesday evening the June Graduates entertained with a most enjoyable Heart party. The guests, numbering some 125, played vigorously all through the evening, only to tie for both the “joy killers” and “Heart breakers” at the end of the game as each end of the “Passion of Hearts” had four competitors, the tie was played off. It seemed as if Cupid had loaded the dice, for Edwin Bradford and Margaret Daniel captured love’s gracious gift, while Elizabeth Daniels was not so blessed, for her’s was the prize of the booby. The refreshments as served were hot chocolate, creamed nut and fish sandwiches. The committee in charge of this most successful affair was composed of Mildred Duggan, chairman; House Baker Jameson, the chief sandwich maker; Alice Shackleford, Anna Van Ness. Great thanks are also due to the sponsors of the class, Mr. Burleson and Miss Schofield, who made the excellent host and hostess of the evening. One Hundred Seventy three The Chinese Lantern Presented by the Congress and Dramatic Clubs. The original little play, “The Chinese Lantern” proved a great success both as regards (he clever acting and its enthusiastic reception by the public. Briefly the plot is as follows: MeeMee. little Korean slave girl is doomed to marry the stupid son of her Mistress. Mrs. Olangsti, because she has been born under a star which means that her husband, by marrying her will automatically become an artist. Yunglangsti, the son, would ask nothing better than to bo a grocer, but his impractical father will allow him no peace until he marries Mee Mee and becames a famous artist. Olangsti passionately wishes to become an artist himself, and emulates the example of Wiowani, and ancient artist who’s masterpiece, “The Threshold of The Muses”, hangs in the studio with which Olangsti supports himself. But business is very dull, and in distress he called on a rag-picker, Josie Moise. and his rich money lender brother, Cosi Mosi, for aid. He finally offers as security the furniture, the picture and MeeMee. In the meantime, Mee Mee has fallen wildly in love with Tikipu, the drudge who tries to become an artist by copying the famous picture when every one is asleep and who pays no attention to Mee Mee’s shy coquetry. One night the picture comes to life, and Wiowani. the painter, steps out and leads poor Tikipu into the picture where he stays two years. The next scene, two years later, shows Mee Mee preparing ostesibly, to marry Yunglansti, but who is really planning to kill herself on her wedding day. Then, she spies her wedding gown, and is so struck with its beauty that she pauses and hastily dons it, thinking wistfully, the while of Tikipu now so long gone. Suddenly he comes out of the picture, dazed and unconscious of the lapse of the years since he left. Then, seeing MeeMee he falls in love with her, and they elope at dawn, just as th wedding party approaches. All is confusion when the flight of Mee Mee is discovered, but Yunglansti is thrown into transports of joy on finding his coveted grocers certificate, which Tikipu inadvertently drops in his flight. Then Cosi Mosi and his disreputable brother come in and demand payment of their loan, but Mee Mee, chief security, is gone and the charming little play closes as Josi Mosi auctions off the famous old picture.

This was the second social function of the class and was the most successful and enjoyable of the term. December 20 JUNIOR BUNCO PARTY A bunco party was Ihe social feature of the Junior Class for the Yultide Holidays. The Party took place at the home of -Miss Marjorie Mc-Illhenny at eight o’clock. The program was divided equally between bunco and dancing. The decorations were cleverly carried out in the class colors and evergreens. The true Christmas spirit was remarked and every one enjoyed the evening to the fullest. December 23 JUNES HONOR FEBS WITH DANCE The June 20 class of the Main Avenue High School honored the February graduates with a dance Tuesday evening at the Army Post Gymnasium. The Class colors of green and white were used to advantage in the beautifully decorated Hall.

On January 21st the seventh grade classes of the Grammar Schools, who are prospective “Presides” of this school, were entertained with a most pleasing concert, given by the Glee Club, the Girls’ Chorus and the Orchestra of the Main Avenue High School, under the direction of Miss Norma Owen. Previous to the concert, tlie visiting grammar school graduates were escorted through the various departments of our institution. Especially were the manual training and machine shop rooms scenes of continual interest to many of the young men, while the domestic science department was a luring attraction to the girls. It was a great privilege for the student body and faculty to have as their guests for the afternoon the future members of our most illustrious institution of higher education. Not only was it a privilege, but an inspiration to see these young enthusiasts take such extraordinary interest in the wonderful opportunities offered by the Main Avenue High School for a greater and broader education to meet the necessities of honest living. With our ranks recruited with these manly fellows and energetic girls, the standards and good reputation of Main Avenue will glow in the embers of a splendid school. February 23 MAIN HONORED BY THE VISIT FROM THE HON. THOMAS NELSON PAGE Epigrams from his address to students: “Keep the mind young by keeping in sympathy with the young. Character is the most essential thing in childhood. Don’t lie to yourself. Aim high, if you lose your hatdiett. Texas is coterminus with the U. S. The greatest region to explore is the region of future mentality of the American people. The responsibility rests on you. Heed the warnings and advice of that greatest thing about you that invisible thing—heart, soul, mind, whatever you may call it- Idealism is more precious than rubies. Keep minds clean and bodies will be clean. Think the best, the heroic. Be straight and courageous with yourselves and you will be heroic without knowing it. Women are the most heroic people in the world. What thy hands find to do, do it with all thy might.” One Hundred Seventy-six January 9 ORCHESTRA AND GIRLS’ CHORUS GIVE EXCELLENT CONCERT The concert given in the auditorium on Friday evening, January 9, 1920, by the Main Avenue High School Orchestra and Girls’ Chorus was a great success.

She has done great work for the school, and we certainly appreciate her efforts. “The Last Call,” sung by Miss Frances Valentine, was rendered with great beauty of tone. The audience called her back to sing a second time. The numbers of both the choruses and the orchestra were excellently rendered and showed what splendid work they are doing. One Hundred Seventy-seven 0S2 January 15 MAIN IS HONORED BY DISTINGUISHED GUESTS Once more our auditorium rang with applause when, after the Star Spangled Banner was sung in the usual manner, Mr. Howard introduced Senator Harry Hertzberg as the first speaker of one of the best assemblies we have ever had. Not only was this assembly of supreme interest but its instructive qualifications were an overwhelming advantage to both teachers and students. The Senator spoke with great eagerness and satisfaction upon presenting to the personnel of the Main Avenue High School a man of national reputation. Doctor S. K. Barker, who spoke on that very vital phase of “How to Make the Most Out of Life.” Dr. Barker, who was accompanied to the stage by Mr. M. L. Smith, a notable Rotarian, spoke in a very attractive manner, holding his audience spellbound, sometimes tense with high pitched interest, and at others with roaring laughter. It can surely be said the Doctor left an everlasting impression with the student body, and it is their sincerest desire that that impression be strengthened by his return sometime in the future. Dr. Barker began by telling an amusing anecdote of his own boyhood. He then stated that his mission was to tell us how to make our lives successful. He said that Garfield once said that three things were necessary for a successful life and they are: A strong arm: a clear head; and a brave heart. He then explained the meaning of each of these terms. “Many people have the mistaken idea that a strong arm means just a good strong muscle, but that is not the idea I have” said Dr. Barker. “A strong arm means good physical condition. No one can hope to succeed in the business world if he is constantly ailing. Only one thing will keep a person fit for his work and that is exercise. If each of you students will take twenty minutes exercise every morning, you will find that your health will improve immediately.” Then he explained the meaning of a clear head. He said that education was the root of this matter. He gave an illustration of the manner in which most students study and said that if each student would concentrate when studying his lessons for three months, concentration would soon become a habit with him. “I have heard this definition for the word education.” said Dr. Barker, “The chief purpose of education is to train the mind and the will to do your work when it should be done whether you like to do it or not.” This is an excellent definition; one that should be remembered. The next subject was that of a brave heart. Most people would say that courage is best illustrated by a soldier’s bravery. That is surely one kind of courage,—physical courage—but sometimes it is the moral courage that counts. If one can say “no” when tempted to do wrong, it is greater than the courage of a soldier who braves all sorts of physical dangers. If a boy has the power to stand the jests and sarcasm of the other boys who try to lead him wrong, he has a brave heart; but most boys have not this wonderful courage. The girls, too, have a yellow streak and often lack this moral courage. Dr. Barker, as a parting thought, quoted a poem, the thought of which is this: “It is fine to go to grand dinners and balls and enjoy life always. It is fine to have everything money could buy; it is fine to have a life of merrymaking, but Providence help you when you pay the bill.” January 15 Souvenirs presented to team following Dr. Barker address the assembly was turned to honor our football boys with the well earned letter certificates. Each member on the first team received with great pleasure the honor bestowed upon them. On behalf of the student body Miss Mildred Burrows presented an additional honor upon those who so nobly upheld our football standards, which Mr. Howard measured not in terms of games won but in terms of clean, fair playing. The honor was in the form of eight small gold footballs, each engraved with the names of the members and manager of the team of 1919. One Hundred Scvcntjpcight January 23 FEB ’20 FAREWELL DANCE With that wonderful Harmony Hall as a rendezvous, the February ’20 Class and their guests celebrated the passing of the Seniors with an exquisite farewell dance. The ballroom was elaborately decorated with the class colors, cerise and gray, while the programs took the design of the emblem of the graduate, and were embossed in gold. Furnishing the music for the evening was that greatly renowned Eubank s orchestra. Not only were the dances of the jazziest and most beautiful sort, but in addition they were of such old fashioned and melodious tone that the most dignified of our chaperones were inspired to do the cakewalk. Among those so enthused were the most destinguished Miss lltz and Mr. Taylor, while the compliments flew right and left on the ability of Misses Hogan and Nicholson to dance beautiful curves. Punch was very attractively served throughout the evening while frolicsome couples gleefully danced the hours away. Chaperoning the affair were; Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Winterborne, Miss Harriet Scofield, Mr. J. C. Burleson, Mr. and Mrs. Willis, Miss Selma Streit. Miss Nicholson, Mr. and Mrs. Sharpton, Miss Mary Lou Hogan and Mrs. Elizabeth Clark. January 24 JUNIORS HOLD LEAP-YEAR DANCE Once again the social committee of the Junior class showed its capability for providing entertainment. This time it was through a leap year party held Friday evening, January 24 at the home of Abby Duggan, 1105 W. French Place. The reception room was beautifully decorated in blue and gold streamers, the class colors. This effect was carried out also in the adjoining room. Refreshments were served to the boys by the girls during the course of the informal dance. Many amusing games were held, the most interesting of which was the leap year proposals, in which every girl proposed to some boy present. The prize of the evening was a beautiful ring, which went to Miss Cleo Hebbard who was accepted by Mr. Shelby Fox. Other games were “Love among the flowers” (nothing serious) “Exhibitions in hynoptism” and “A ride to the skies,” all of which proved very entertaining. About thirty people were present, and thirty contented people left after a most enjoyable evening, expounding the virtues of the Junior class social committee. One Hundred Seventy nine January 28 CONGRESS SEMI ANNUAL BANQUET On Wednesday evening, January 28, Congress held its semi-annual banquet in the Club room of the Original Mexican Restaurant. The carrying out of the Congress colors, purple, lavender, and grey in the color scheme tended to make this banquet one of the most artistic as well as one of the most interesting the club has ever given. The tables forming a “C” were beautifully decorated with strips of delicate lavender crepe paper covered with fern. Pots of little lavender primroses were placed at intervals on the tables. The favors were dainty corsages of fresh violets, while on the place cards were painted baskets of violets. Hanging moss, here and there, representing the grey, continued the color scheme to an advantage. While a most delightful meal was being served Mr. Hofstetter acting as toastmaster, called for many clever toasts from the various members. The banquet ended with the administering of the oath of office to the new officers. January 29 1IAYNE SEMI-ANNUAL BANQUET On Thursday evening the members of the Hayne Debating Club, old and new, met with their friends, in a spirit of brotherhood and good-fellwship for the purpose of celebrating the successes of the past term and to give the oath of office to the new officers who are to guide the club through the next term. The meeting was held in the form of a banquet in the private room of the quaint and historic old building. La Casa del Rio. The room was decorated in the club colors, red and white. On each place card was a quotation fitting to each particular person. Following the reading of the place cards, a typical and delicious Mexican feast was laid. When the repast was finished, came the swearing in of the new officers. Each officer gave a short talk about the hopes of the future and his appreciation of the club. January 30 JEFFERSONIAN BANQUET The semi-annual Jeff banquet was held at La Casa del Rio. After the splendid meal was finished Mr. Hofstetter, the toast master called on Mr. Donald Carson our former president. After a brief talk on his appreciation of the honor of holding the office, he proceeded to administer the oath of office to the new president, Mr. R. S. Craig. Mr. Craig spoke on the need of cooperation among the club members for the coming year and his assurance of his best efforts in the interest of the club. After a fitting introduction by Mr. Hofstetter, Miss Hicks, our sponsor, expressed her pride in holding this office among such a fine bunch of fellows. After a brief but well directed talk by Mr. Hofstetter the banquet came to a successful close with yells for the club, Miss Hicks and Mr. Hofstetter. One Hundred Eighty February 23 FIRST OPEN AIR ASSEMBLY OF THE YEAR HELD UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE JUNE CLASS Monday marked the first open air assembly of the year. The dual purpose of the meeting was to commemorate the life of our greatest American, George Washington. and to celebrat Arbor day. Charles Crowe. President of the June Class acl!d as chairman of the occasion. After the meeting had been called to order by the bugle an invocation was rendered by a man who needed no introduction to the Main Avenue High School student body. Rev. Bertrand W. Stevens of St. Marks Church. Then followed several speeches on our great American soldier and statesman, Washington. The chairman introduced Oscar McCracken, who spoke on “Washington, the General”. One of the main points brought out by Mr. McCracken’s speech was that the great general was always willing to suffer with his men. Rae Stout, one of our most talented speakers, was then introduced to the audience. Miss Stout delivered an excellent speech on Washington telling of the many fine points in his character. Prof. Frederick Abbott, the head of our public speaking department, delivered an excellent eulogy on Washington. Mr. Abbott, in his most pleasing style of speech( brought forth several strong points, the chief of which was that Washington was a man, that is, he was no superhuman being, just a man. Immediately after the three speeches on Washington as a fitting observance of Arbor Day, the students of this school planted a small magnolia tree. The short ceremony was very impressive. Two students of the June 20 Class lowered the magnolia into the ground. Charles Crowe had the honor of placing the first spadeful of soil around the tree. Before putting the dirt around the magnolia Mr. Crowe stated that he planted the tree in the name of the June graduating class of 1920. The various companies of the Cadet Corps and the rest of the students stood at attention and retreat closed one of the most delightful and unique assemblies that Main has ever had. March 2 STUDENTS COMMEMORATE TEXAS INDEPENDENCE MOST unusual assembly was held on Friday, March 2, in commemoration of Texas Independence. The program was in charge of the Boys’ Debating Clubs and Col. Edgington of the U. S. Army addressed the student body. Colonel gave a highly instructive talk about his department, telling of its many and various duties and of the invaluable service it rendered during the war in moving and caring for our large armies. Then there was a prayer, led by Rev. Felix R. Hill, Presiding Elder of the San Antonio District of M. E. Church, which was followed by a clarinet solo, ably rendered by Raymond Pigot. Miss Sarah King gave a talk befitting the occassion and filled us with pride in the history of our great State. She gave a review of Texas history, which began with the early explorations and touched on all important points up to the Civil War. After this interesting and educational talk the assemly closed with the singing of a number of songs quite familiar to all Texans. One Hundred Eighty one March 20 JUNE’S RALLY TO SUNRISE BREAKFAST Oversize Weiners and Runaway Henry Features in Fun “Well, you 8:00 o’clock duck, no more doughnuts. That was the comfort a few of the June delinquents got when they arrived on the scene just to see Polly Feller swallow the last doughnut. Rut. hold on. there were a few early risers (6:30) on the field. You know, they always come into use as firemakers. Among those notably useful at such a trade are Mr. Howard, Mr. Burleson, Edwin Bradford and Mr. Hofstetter. While lone Riley and her hunch of June social providers got the grub in order. Charley Crowe, Mr. (Handsome) Taylor, Mr. Hofstetter and a few others struck up a little dust on the tennis court. In fact, they got so excited over the game that they forgot to get the proper nourishment when the time came. But lone (thoughtful girl) kept a few strings of weiners and ample other supplies in safekeeping for the “ping pong sharks. Another added attraction were the human icebergs which inhabited the river that warm day in March. These notable June sports (or refrigerators) were Everett Mullin, Girard Garrett and a few others. About everyone at that time had finished up the eats, and so they began to “pair off,” as was noticed by some observers. Ben Wise and Ruth McFarland, with a few others spent most of their time enjoying the fresh air and watching the monkeys, while Peggy Lewis was proprietor of a “morning dansant on the park floor. Walking around, but yet not going anywhere, were Raymond Thorne and Mildred Burrows. Yes, they were taking pictures and they got one of our “terrible bear, Mr. Hofstetter. Rae Stout and Jack Patterson seemed to enjoy one another’s company to the utmost especially when it came to eating doughnuts. Well, when the dust cleared up the sun shone on a lot of sights, memofably, one gloriously good Sunrise Breakfast. March 20 TEXAS UNIVERSITY GLEE CLUB IN CONCERT Noted Organization Visited San Antonio Under Auspices of June ’20 Class of M. A. H. S. For the first time in six years San Antonio has had the privilege of hearing one of the most celebrated of musical organizations in the South. It was the University of Texas Glee Club under the management of William J. Park, and directorship Prof. Irving W. Jones. The program, which was charmingly and beautifully arranged at the Brackenridge High School since Main’s Auditorium was taken on that occasion, was as follows: The Wandering Singers ..............................................Willis Clark Dardenella......................................................................

Those who were present were favored with a trip to the remote past, to the time when our forefathers struggled with the inconveniences of the colonial days. The program was begun with a short speech of introduction by the president. Miss Janice Brown. The audience was then, indeed, carried “Back to Ole Virginny” when Mrs. McKeller, accompanied on the melodeon by Miss Grace sang that well-known song. The hearers forgot for the moment their troubles and modern-day trials and seemed to live in the time when the spirit of colonial courtesy and dignity prevailed through the land. Both of the performers were dressed in genuine colonial costumes, Mrs. McKeller wearing a lovely dress of pink silk trimmed with white lace, and Miss Grace wearing a matronly dress of white lace. Mrs. McKeller next sang “Seeing Nellie Home,” and the audience felt again a peculiar thrill in hearing that old, old song amid such delightful surroundings. A most interesting address was given by Mrs. Clegg who illustrated her talk by a most unusual exhibit of colonial relics. March 2G CONGRESS HAY RIDE A HUGE SUCCESS A nice big truck, warm weather, moonlight, lots of girls and good eats, all contributed to the wonderful time enjoyed by members of Congress and their “lady friends” on the hay ride last Friday night. The truck was filled to capacity. Some excellent cheer leaders were along, and as we rolled through town we “let ’em know who we were.” After leaving town by the Somerset Road the truck turned off on the Palo Alio Road and stopped just after crossing the Medina River. Here, under the large pecan trees, a huge bonfire was made and coffee and toasted buns, followed by ice cream and cake, were enjoyed by all. March 27 WUZ YOU AT THE FEB. TACKEY PARTY? We-uns had have a big tackey party Saturday, 27, and we-uns shore had a good time. All these here Febs got together at the house of Bro. Robert Colglazier and we preceded to eat, drink and get merry, as that old say in’ goes, but don’t know if the part about tomorrow you may die come to pass or not, but from the number of these wieners or hot dogs, as some of them ignerent people say, it’s a wunder the aforesaid last part of this here first part did not come to pass. They shore played some funny games. One of these games wuz tellin’ yer fortune. After this we-uns all went outside the house on the grass and roasted wieners and marshmallows and sodie water until our sponsors begin to get uneasie about our health. I think they wuz judging others buy thereselfs. Somebody shore had been thoughtful, for they had a couple of bottles with rubber things on the top so they would not drink too fast. Mr. Phiffer shore did look cute, just like he did when he use to have a bottle of milk instead of sodie water. All that was able to then got up and played the farmers in the dell and a whole lot of other games. After this we-uns went in the house and danced and played rook and everything. Along about, as well ever body forgot the time, we went home. Among the other interesting things wuz the beautiful dresses and girls that wore them. Everybody said Mildred Duggan had the pretties dress. It wuz red kaliko with some prettie trimmins, and she also wore some white stokins and shoes. One Hundred Eiyhty-thrcc March 27 DRAMATIC CLUB HAS PICNIC “All abroad.” That was the cry heard at the front entrance of the Main building by the Dramatics Saturday afternoon. All found places in the cars that were ready and started gaily off on the Pleasanton road. Several cars were kept busy chasing those who got lost til we finally reached Ruth Pfannkuclie’s uncle’s ranch. After tramping and sliding about two miles through bushes and rocks we arrived at a spot just made for picnieing, bathing and a regular good time. Some of us went in swimming in a beautiful pool where the water came tumbling over the great rocks that surrounded it, while others took snaps. When most of the afternoon had been spent lunches were spread, lemonade made and the feasting began. As the sun went down some one made the motion that we go back home, which was sorrowfully accepted. April 2 SOPHS HOLD PICNIC Friday morning, beginning at five the live wire Sophs took themselves out to Koehler Park for a ripping good time. Of course it was a success for what Sophomore event isn’t? Some thoughtful person brought a phonograph so dancing was the first tiling in order. Then too the worshipers of the tennis racket hit a few balls and the games were enjoyed by the onlookers as well as by the participants. And the eats! As loyal Texans we drank soda water and coffee and ate many other goodies. The picnic wound up with a little jazz and everyone declared that it was a true Soph affair. April 10 THE JUNIOR PICNIC Well, we Juniors bad our first social event. It was “some event” too. Everyone had a good time—a real old fashioned ripping good time and said so too. Of course the game helped a lot; if Main hadn’t won we wouldn’t have had nearly as nice time. Even those on the other side of the river knew who was winning from the yelling and from their own faith in Main. And things to eat! We had to call in a squad of soldiers to help us finish. Our Junior girls can cook things to eat that can’t be beat. There was some angel cake there that came very mysteriously, but it was so good we wonder if some angel did not drop part of his lunch for us. Mr. Howard was there and sampled some of the seventy-five varieties of sandwiches, and the punch. That punch was good—icy cold and all made up of grape juice, lemonade, pineapple and cherries. One Hundred Eighty-four April 10 JEFFS HAVE 1IAY RIDE At 6:30 on .that Saturday evening a large crowd of Jeffersonians (with their girls, of course) assembled in front of school for one of the celebrated hay-rides that have made Main famous. The truck arrived on time and was covered with real hay. The load was so great that Dolly McGruder had to be put off to make room for the cream. With singing, cheering, and lots of fun the party journeyed out to the Medina River. Here weiners and faces were roasted. You should have seen Victor Creighton’s face—and he said he almost got his wieners warm. And the coffee and sinkers—they were great; so were the marshmallows and ice cream. Everyone was filled to capacity and had a great time; if they didn’t it was their own fault. Gilbert Parr spun some baseball yarns—we all admit he is a wonderful player. Bob Craig spoiled a perfectly good shine trying to get to the river’s edge without a light; he got there, but went a little too for. The return trip was made without mishap, except that Miss Cleary lost her new Easter hat which was finally recovered without damage. By the time we got back to Main everyone felt like regular “hay-seeds” the girls haven't got all the hay out of their hair yet. The crowd broke up in front of Main. Do we like hay rides? Nothing like ’em. April 16 SI IA K ESPEARE DANCE The quaint old Menger Hotel, that is so replete with history and romance, never looked more lovely or held a happier crowd than it did on the evening of Friday, April 16, when the Shakespeare Club entertained with a delightful dance. The spacious ball room was decorated with beautiful flags that made one feel that Fiesta Week was already here. In an alcove inspiring jazz music was played by an excellent orchestra. The delightful patios with their tropical growths of banana trees, palms and roses, where myriad lights gleamed like elfin lamps among the vivid greens of the cacti and ivy, were popular rendevous for the young people. The dance programs, embossed with the club seal, recorded sixteen dances and four extras. Punch was served throughout the evening. One hundred Eighty-five April 10 PAPA CHARLES CROWE ENTERTAINS IN HONOR OF THE YOUNGER SET—JUNE BABIES PLAY HOPSCOTCH IN HALLS OF M. A. II. S. NURSERY As a fitting entertainment for the graduates of the school nursery. Papa” Charles Crowe, president of the June 20 Class, presented the entire aggregation of June Babies in a real huby-fashioned banquet. With lights gleaming forth in merriment and shouts and cries of laughter in such proportions as would purge the hearts of both old and young with the highest form of gayety our old school took on an atmosphere never before equaled in the career of the Seniors of 1920. Never in the few years of its existence has our main building been the scene of such Jolly, wholesome amusement. Just to look at the merry makers one would think that the high and mighty Seniors had each been gifted with a few of the so-called monkey glands. One of the most attractive features of the affair were the many and varied costumes, among which were everything from long dresses and caps to match to rompers and knickerbockers. James Brewer was represented in the former attire, while John Henry Weymouth. Lucien Hopper and James Graves were among the foremost dressed in the latter. Then the girls (booful things) were regular, irresistible baby dolls. lone Riley could have easily been mistaken for Mary Pickford, while Mary Mason was recognized as an infant somewhat of the Constance Talmadge type. Dorothy Green. Idella Adelman Annette Johnson and Rue Stout would all have been the cutest sort of angels (you know, the precious kind) had they only had wings. After the fourth dance, from baby to papa and the chaperons, directed their attention to the front of the hall, where two of the best looking baby dolls of the class ( Sis lone Riley and Irish Eyes Dorothy Green) sang Kid Days. Folks, that song surely had a decided effect on some of the “kids, as a few let out bawls that almost turned the serenaders out of tune while someone spied Raymond Thorne carrying on a flirting contest witli a sure-'nuff wax doll. Now, isn’t that peculiar! Then another dance, and Ray Moskovitz sang a few of those songs noted for ability to tame wild monkeys, among which were Jazz Baby and a number of others. After the singing of School Days by all the June Babies, under the leadership of lone Riley and Dot Green, the whole troop got their girls and wobbled down to the cafeteria, where a long table was elaborately decorated in pink and white ribbons and set for more than a hundred animated baby dolls. At each place was found a menu as follows: BABY BANQUET—MENU FANTASIE Often the End of the Dog...............................Sausage Irishman's Pride Chipped......................Chipped Potatoes Lover’s Test...........................................Pickles Boston’s Standby.........................................Beans Baby's Marbles......................................Baby Rolls A General Mixture........................................Fruit Salad What I do to Be Heard................................I Scream (Ice Cream) Baby’s Diet...............................................Milk Noah’s Friend...........................................Animal Cakes Rabbit’s Food .........................................Lettuce Baby’s Pacifier ................................Allday Suckers Squirrel Dependence ......................................Nuts Friday. April 9. Nineteen Twenty With such a menu as this, someone remarked that the only thing inconsistent with the childish idea was the appetite of the crowd. Papa Charles then adjourned the kids and their chaperons to the front corridor, where dancing was again made a delightful amusement. The chaperons for the affair were: Mrs. Walter Eikel. Mrs. T� d Milburn, Mr. and Mrs. Hopper. Mrs. N. O. Johnson. Mrs. E. M. Green. Miss Harriet Scofield. Mr. J. C. Burleson, Mrs. F. L. Riley, Mr. J. F. Howard and Mrs. C. R. Bell. Bedtime came Ctwas the Sandman that said so); so all the babies went as did Cinderella, only to be grown-up, dignified Jupes the following day. One Hundred Eighty-siX William Butler Yeats The poet’s cue, in a fine fremit rollina. Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven; And as imagination bodies forth The forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen Turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing A local habitation and a name. The fourteenth of April stands out as a red letter day upon the calendar of our school year because we had the pleasure of hearing that evening in our Main Avenue Auditorium a real, live poet, no less a person than the Irish dramatist, William Butler Yeats, who came to us thru the efforts of the College Women’s Club in the interests of our scholarship fund. We had heard much of this absent-minded dreamer who has given his dreams a wonderful and tangible form in the famous Abbey Theatre of Dublin where Irish plays with Irish actors reflect the spirit of the country’s life, but it was with a thrill of interest and pleasure that we saw him in actual presence and heard him talk of the aims and ideals of this greac work, a drama true to life, a theatre really “of the people, for the people, and by the people.” Mr. Yeats delighted us in the conclusion of his talk by reading to us three of his own poems, Innisfrac, The Fiddler of Dooney, and The Song of Wandering Aengus, poems which we shall always remember because we have come to know them first not from the printed page, but thru the music of the poet’s own voice. ' SS2sgg One Hu net red Eighty-seven April 21 INDIAN ART EXHIBIT The Indian Art Exhibit, given in the art room last week, proved to he one of the most successful exhibitions of the term. The room was delightfully decorated with Indian baskets from the most famous tribes in .Mexico and Alaska, pottery, wampum and many souvenirs of excellent workmanship from the tribes in Alaska. Mrs. Frank Paschal, as the first speaker, told of her travels in Mexico and how she came into possession of the beautiful collection of pottery. She was in Northern Mexico at the time when the soldiers started excavating in the mines. The first eighteen pieces to be taken out of the mines were given to Dr. and Mrs. Paschal. She then presented to Ihe Art Club a large book which describes in detail the pottery on exhibition. Mrs. Hanson was the next speaker. She traveled for several years in Alaska and brought home a lovely collection of souvenirs that she bought from the Indians. She first told us many of the queer myths and legends that the Indians believe and then showed us several images of the medicine men that the Indians worship. M rs. Ilanson closed her lecture by telling a very interesting, yet odd, story about the Indians that made us feel the spirit of the Indian’s life. April 20 GIRLS’ CLUBS TAKE CHARGE OF ASSEMBLY Splendid Program Enjoyed by All The girls’ clubs, with their sponsors, aided by Miss Brown, deserve much credit for the excellent program, held at the assembly Tuesday (20th). The underlying theme of the whole program was to reserve the picturesque customs of old San Antonio, to commemorate the history of the Texas struggle for independence and to arouse enthusiasm for the preservation of the historic places in and around San Antonio, so many of which have been destroyed already. Mr. Howard acted as chairman and after a short introductory speech lie presented Miss Abb.v Duggan of the “Shakes.” She gave a Spanish song “La Pcrjoro”, in which she displayed considerable talent that surprised many. She was followed by a Spanish dance by five charming members of the “Phils.” The feature of this was the costumes which were of the old Spanish style and quite pleasing to the eye. After this dance Judge Fly gave a patriotic address, in which he was even more inspiring than upon other occasions, when lie has spoken to us. The next number, a quadrille by the Dramatists, was of a very unique character. The costume and the dance were according to the styles of 1870. The Shakespeare Club was again represented by the boys’ section of the Glee Club. They sang two “Cowboy Ballads” which were well rendered, and received enthusiastic applause. A rather surprising number was the “Chalk Talk” by James Brewer and Elizabeth Eldridge of the Art Club. James speedily drew chalk sketches of “La Casa Del Rio,” Travis Park Grocery and other characteristic parts of San Antonio, while Elizabeth Eldridge read descriptions of them. The last number on the program was a plea by Miss Alice Shakelford to the people of San Antonio to revive and preserve the old traditions, legends and customs of early San Antonio. She was dressed in the garb of a Spanish maiden and made a deep impression upon her hearers. One Hundred Eighty-eight April 23 FACULTY HONORS PROF. AND MRS. (MIAS. S. MEEK WITH MOONLIGHT PICNIC The faculty of Ihe school honored Prof, and Mrs. Chas. S. Meek with a Moonlight Picnic at Mr. Gut-ziet’s Ranch on the Scenic Loop. The. “eats” were bountiful enough to feed a regiment, even with the best of ham, eggs, wieners, steak and onions, pickels, ice cream, onions, and all the other garnishes of the picnic habitations. After the enjoyment of the wilds of Bexar County, the whole crowd of educators went on a delightful joyride in private care. It was rumored that Dr. Pessels. Miss Canales, and Mr. Burleson got stalled in the San Antonio “Creek”. The affair was completed by a race from Leon Springs to Beacon Hill with Miss Frances Smith and her Buick leading the field. • Asa fitting memoriam an onion still hangs in the halls of Main High. April 25 FEB.-JUNK DANCE MARKS HAPPY ENDING TO HARD YEAR’S WORK “And they lived happy ever after.” That is the way all good stories and school years should end. It’s hard to tell whether all the Junes are going to live happy ever after or otherwise, but one thing is sure, they got an awfully good start Saturday the 15th at the June-Feb. dance. The Febs were great hosts. The lobby, halls and cafeteria were decorated wonderfully in class colors and flowers, but the main thing the Febs had worked to prepare was a great big good time, and it must be said they were successful. After everyone had been waylaid at the door by Mr. Pfeiffer to see that they were fully qualified to eat, drink and be merry, the dance started. Everybody danced, or, in common terms, jazzed around for about an hour and a half. Then came a still happier time—refreshments. Barbara Eikel broke all previous records by eating six cakes and a large quantity of ice cream and punch. The tables were arranged to spell Feb, although no one seemed to notice this clever idea, arranged by Mina Alvord. After everyone had appeased their appetite they were called to the adui-torium. Here they were presented with a little opera given by the talented members of Feb. class. Robert Colglazier was the leading character. He made a specialty of lovemaking through the medium of songs. Mickey and Dardanella were encored repeatedly. Irvin King and company as cannibals looked very natural. After four more dances the party was over. One Hundred Eighty-nine May 1 JUNE GRADUATES JOURNEY TO LANDA’S PARK Lunch Big Enough for a Couple of Whales—Feature of the Day- Blow-outs Give Additional Exercise. -Flat Tires and “Just turn your nose toward New Braunfels and follow the crowd,” was the cry that went out as the whole June Class set out for that noted “Happy Hunting Ground at Landa's Park. In addition to a forty passenger tallyho. the Junes required about twenty private cars to move the flock out there. Especially was the trip enjoyable on account of the freshness of the air and the wildness of the crowd. No—-idon’t get the wrong idea—the bunch Just had a good time. After a good shaking up, they all bumped into that well-known burg of New Braunfels. When, then the energetic ones gave that siwmming pool the once over, and in they went. The water was cold enough to freeze an iceberg, but that only made the bunch swim more. From some of the exhibition high dives and long distance swims, it was prophesied that the Junes would turn out some pretty fishy stars in the years to come. When an hour or so had been passed in this pool, somebody got excited and bellowed for nourishment; so the faculty, including Jimmie Graves (noted for his ability to be first), “Sis” lone Riley and the rest of the “Reducing” gang, spread out a lunch big enough to feed a few whales. Someone blew the bugle and before you could get your bearings, the whole tribe had set in. Talking about production and consumption, it looked at first as if the market would be flooded, but evidently the swimmers forgot to fill up with water. After lunch, a few couples went rowing, some sought shade of the beautiful trees and shrubs to talk “monkey tale” and dream of Shakespeare. Even the faculty (Misses Cleary, Scofield, Smith and Streit) took to chaperoning on the water. In fact it was rather hard not to intrude. Just about the time some poor fellow would get to a nice, shady nook, it would be occupied and sounds of laughter and gay conversation would drive the intruder to a good distance. So beautiful was the setting that a few of our future poets got wound up and wasted their sweetness on the water. Another swim! This time, the faculty graced the pool. Some more fish food, and then Home Sweet Home. There the trouble began. Oh that tally-ho bunch! If ever there was a crowd that had the very time of their lives, it was that group of tongue rattlers. Punctures and blow-outs made a big hit, and received many encores. The show ended anywhere from 8 to 11 o’clock and the moon shone at the end of a wild and exciting day. May 4 MAIN HOLDS ASSEMBLY IN HONOR OF MR. MEEK In an assembly which will long remain in our memories, Mr. Meek, superintendeni of the city schools, gave what may be termed his “farewell address” to an appreciative and highly interested student body. After selections by the Glee Club and orchestra. Mr. Howard introduced Miss Rae Stout, who was chosen to act as representative of the student body in expressing the exireme regret of the Main students in that Mr. Meek was no longer to be connected with the schools of San Antonio. After enumerating the great benefit derived by the schools of this city through the untiring efforts of Mr. Meek. Miss Stout remarked that, although the fame of our superintendent was great upon his arrival in San Antonio, he was doubly famous at the present time. Upon being presented Mr. Meek referred to Miss Stout’s eulogy and said: “I am delighted to find out what a distinguished man I am”. Nevertheless, this remark did not cause us to believe otherwise. Mr. Meek was very emphatic in urging the students to keep up this good work. “If I can leave San Antonio,” said Mr. Meek, knowing that you are impressed and will put what I have told you into practice, it would be a crowning service from you. Concluding the assembly, Mr. Howard then expressed the school’s deepest and most sincere regret that Mr. Meek had seen fit to leave us and to cause the community to suffer such a great loss. One Hundred Ninety rv fU May 8 MAIN AVENUE HIGH SCHOOL KEEPS OPEN HOUSE At the request of the Parent-teachers' Association. Main Avenue High School kept open house on the evening of May the thirteenth. About fifteen hundred visitors showed their appreciation of the school's hospitality. A reception committee composed of members of the faculty and members of the Parent-teachers’ Association received the guests in the front hall of the new building. Then the June '20 Class ushered them to the various departments that were in operation. The manual training building was the first point of interest. It evoked from one patron, the hearty encomium that the whole United States couldn't have put up such a splendid show of practical education when he was a boy. And one felt the truth of his statement when the wood-turners the foundry-workers, and the iron-workers manipulated machinery with a facility born of carefully directed practice. Tables, bookcases, chairs and broom-holders bore concrete testimony to the fact that a vigorous, red-blooded education was offered our boys. The latent power, unostentatiously expressing itself in the mechanical drawing room, represented the ability to execute a working drawing of anything from a spool to a house. The chemical laboratory, with its customary atmosphere of evil odors, revealed students converting crude oil into gasoline and analyzing various substances into their elemental properties. San Antonio is evidently not deaf to the insistent cry from the factories for more chemists. Art and practicality Joined hands in the sewing department. Chic little gingham dresses, beruffled voiles, crisply suggestive of graduation parties, made one yearn towards Miss Kelly’s department. Put it was the millinery department, that turned out black net hats as attractive as the twenty-five dollar kind at a cost of four or five dollars, that really justified the ways of education to man. In the cooking department, an ideal breakfaet. dinner, ami supper, combining just the right number of calories and the correct proportion of vitamines, illustrated the need of science in the kitchen. Variety and appetizing preparation coaxed the most finicky appetite into action. From the manual training building, the visitors were conducted to an unpretentious shed, that had metamorphosed itself into an auto-repair shop. Here the intricacies of the most subtle motors yielded up their secrets. The story of one grumpy old car that had resisted all persuasions for eight months only to succumb to the indomitable energy of the auto boys, evoked a smile of kindly sympathy. The library, newlv furnished but inadequately stocked with books next claimed the visitors’ attention. The silent appeal of empty wallspace gained some response. The four new pictures presented by the June '19 made their first appearance on this occasion. In the front building, a boys' physiology class in gym suits executed some manoeuvers calculated to rout any weak physiques; a public-speaking class justified itself by clear, self-possessed. convincing speeches; an art class modelled a dog from life, manipulated a poster press, exhibited attainments in book-binding, crayon-sketching, painting, and costume-designing. a class in office-training showed all the steps in making mimeographs; a typewriting class clicked away at a rate rather impressive to laymen; the auditorium ran a picture show; the cafeteria dispensed a light luncheon to all comers and rendered the food doubly appetizing by the musical numbers from Miss Owen's orchestra and glee club. All-told it was a distinctively worth-while undertaking marred only by an aggressive thunder storm. SENIORS PRESENT FAREWELL ASSEMBLY AND LUNCHEON Student Body Receives Bushels of Mirth At Parting of Junes. Febs Are Given Billy Goat to Butt Through Pink Slips. Seniors Close Year by Eating Cafeteria Chow in Commemorating Class Day. With the singing of the Star Spangled Banner, the largest assembly of the term was opened by June ’20 graduating class. Presiding at the June Farewell Assembly was the President. Charles Crowe. In a short introduction, he said that joy and happiness should mnrk the day of the June Farewell to their classmates that are left behind and that the Junes would send a bomb of enthusiasm at every turn. After a selection from the orchestra, the June Class Mascot. Miss Faynetta Burleson, expressed in the deepest appreciation her simple regret in losing so wonderful class. She especially was grieved at the loss of Charlie Crowe. “ ’cause she ’oved ’him ’ots.” Never in all the world has a mascot been so endeared to her class, as has Miss Burleson to the largest class that Main has possessed. This was followed by a solo dance rendered by House Baker Jameson. All dimples and curves, he appeared in beautiful costume. Acting in behalf of the Seniors. Harry Johnson expounded the principles of sympathy and stand that the Junes had always taken toward the Feb’s, so as a small token of brotherly love he presented to the Feb. ’21 Class a somewhat top-heavy goat to butt them through the remaining term to a sure graduation. 1920 delivered a most beautiful farewell address. In the course of his talk, he brought out many delightful experiences of the graduates which printed bright and pretty memories in the minds of his hearers. A selection from the orchestra, under the able directorship of Miss Owen, closed the gathering. LUNCHEON HUGE SUCCESS The 1920 Seniors were then escorted to the Cafeteria where they enjoyed the feast of a roval fashion. The occasion was very informal, and for this reason the Junes felt perfectly at home in their abode of the past. It was the voice of the class that they should be honored sometime In the years to come with good old “school chow.” This marked the end of the class day. One Hundred Ninety-one June 25 SENIOR CLASS NIGHT USHERED IN WITH ENTHUSIASM Exercises Make for Unusual Merriment; Favors Unique in Selection The Senior Class night exercises were carried out in a really delightful manner amidst the palms in the Patio of the Menger Hotel. At the head of the extremely large table was Mr. Hofstetter. who acted as toastmaster in his most charming way. Grouped about him were the officers and other dignitaries of the class. The tables was set to accommodate over one hundred people, the members of the class and their guests. The favors were especially attractive and very unusual in their selection. There were bathing caps for the girls and “Palm-Beach bathing beauties, for the boys. Ferns and ribbons carried out the Class colors of green and white while baskets of white sweet peas and carnations added to the dainty table. In addition to the very good dinner served in Southern style were many clever and appropriate toasts to the School, the Faculty, the Junes, and the Febs. Throughout the entire career of the Class, individually and collectively its members have received inumerable helps in the hard things necessary to its welfare. As a token of these kindnesses the Class presented gifts to the Class sponsors and directors. Misses Harriet Scofield and Sybil Browne, and Messers J. C. Burleson. Jack Burke and Frederick Abbott. Following this the various documents of the Class were read and approved. They were: Class Prophesy by Jack Patterson; Class Poem by House Baker Jameson; Class Legacy by James Graves; Class History by Edna Ruwe; June Inmates by Jack Wheat. After enjoying a very pleasant social hour, the Class adjourned to meet for commencement on May 27. FAREWELL DANCE GIVEN BY THE JUNE ’20 GRADUATING CLASS OF MAIN AVENUE HIGH SCHOOL The June ’20 Class of Main Avenue High School celebrated Friday night, May 28th with a royal dance at the school the end of a wonderful class year. The halls were (iecorated with elaborately arranged festoons of wild flowers tied with satin ribbon representative of the class colors, green and white. Sixteen very enthusiastic dances and four extras filled the most delightful program of the entire year. The music was rendered by the Eubank Orchestra, and was exceed ingly well received, while the programs were displayd with an embossed June '20 seal in connection with an attractive design. The dance of all dances was this final big blowout of the class of all classes. Never have a bunch of dignified seniors so completely enjoyed themselves in the art of jazz. Punch was served throughout the evening, while delicious ice cream and cake were served at the end of the tenth dance. Thus ended a most successful and facinating social year of the greatest class Main has ever graduated.

Miss Henry Successfully defeated her Brackenridge opponent and had only to meet the district spellers before she could go to Austin. With very little effort she out spelled them and very soon was in Austin spelling against other district champions. Not 'til the next to the last elimination did she meet her equal. There, as is characteristic of Main students she took her defeat as gracefully as she had taken previous victories.

Burleson, our efficient faculty athletic manager is the most enthusiast ie booster of athletics in the school. His fine management has helped Main to many victories and we hope lie will continue to boost our games. Bartlett McMellan, our able student athletic manager and captain of the baseball nine, is one of the most popular boys in Main. It is through his efforts and guidance that our teams made the records they did, and only by his pitching did we win the championship in baseball. This is his last year and Main will miss him next season. Two Hundred One Two Hundred Two yte v W.W Foster Conoly playing his third and last year on the eleven was elected captain of the team and did a good .job of it. Foster will he greatly missed next year as he is a two letter man. We hope he keeps up his good work in years to come. Coach Harold A. Winters, a former Ohio State man coached our team and turned out the best team we have had in two years. A very awkward squad reported at the beginning of the season but Coach Winters, by hard work developed them into a winning eleven and at the close of the season they were playing better football than any team in the Academic League. Two Hundred Three Review of 1919 Foot-Ball Season The 1919 football season at Main High was not a very successful one because of the lack of experienced material, but Coach Winters by great patience and hard work developed them very rapidly and when the season ended they were playing better football than any team in the Academic League. Harold A. Winters a former Ohio State football star was coach of the team anil made a very creditable job of it considering the material he had on hand to build r.p a winning eleven. When first call for practice was announced about the most awkward and inexperienced bunch of candidates that ever reported to a coach turned out. They tried to catch the elusive pigskin more ways than a country farmer can come to town but Coach Winters by hard work developed them into one of the best teams in the Academic League. When we played Peacock the last game of the season they were playing together like a well oiled machine and the strong Peacock eleven succumbed to the tune of 27 to 0. We won five games and lost four during the season. The Red and White team opened the season against the St. Anthony College eleven and were defeated in a very close game by the score of 6 to 0. A sensational forward pass. Griffon to Iler, in the third quarter gave the St. Anthony team a touchdown and victory because the Main eleven failed to cross their opponents goal line. With less than one minute to play and four yards to go to victory Main High lined up for the last try at a goal. Captain Foster Conoly. our quarterback, held up his hand for silence so his signals could be heard because the crowd was pressing in on the field and yelling for a touchdown. Jack Evans, fullback carried the ball within a foot of the goal line and victory and the teams lined up again. One more try and the ball would be over and the victory would be Main’s. The crowd was yelling more than ever and Captain Conoly had to delay calling his signals again before they could be heard. Just as he silenced the crowd and was ready for the next play the whistle blew and Main lost a football game by less than a foot. The next game was a victory for Main over the fast St. Marys College eleven by the score of 13 to 0. The Red and White boys easily outclassed their opponents and chalked up an easy victory. Main lost to the San Antonio Academy in a very bitterly contested game by the score of 7 to 0. An Academy player intercepted a forward pass and ran 40 yards for a touchdown. They also kicked goal and won 7 to 0. Main had the Academy on the defensive throughout the game but lacked the punch to put over a touchdown. The team then journeyed to the metropolis of Kerrville and lost to the gridironers of that city by the score of 6 to 0. The Main boys were 5 yards from a touchdown when a Kerrville player intercepted a forward pass and ran 95 yards for a touchdown. You will have to admit this was hard luck and these are very hard lines. The Hondo High school then fell a victim of the Red and White boys by the score of 31 to 0. The coaching of Harold Winters, was beginning to show results and the Hondo eleven was completely outclassed. The game was played in Hondo and everyone had a fine trip. The Brackenridge High eleven romped on us to the tune of 27 to 0 before one of the largest crowds that ever witnessed a football game in this city in many moons. It was a very close game until the last quarter when two Brackenridge players tackled Dale McCoy so hard that he was completely knocked out. Brackenridge was in the lead at this time by the small margin of three points. Dale had been the most consistent ground gainer on the Main team up to this time and with their star player out of the game they weakoned in the last quarter and Brackenridge ran up a total of 27 points while Main failed to score a point. We outclassed Brackenridge in everything except scoring points. We turned out twice as many “rooters , made three times as much noise and played clean football on the field. Two Hundred Four Review of 1919 Foot-Ball Season (Continued) Please watch Main’s athletic record from now on as this was the last game we lost during the whole school term and ran up a total of 18 straight victories. During this time we have defeated Brackenridge four times, two in basket ball, and two in baseball besides defeating them badly in the Track Meet by the score of 78 to 26. We begin our string of victories by defeating the Floresville High school by the score of 20 to 0. It was a well played game and the Floresville boys fought hard from start to finish but the class of the Red and White boys was not to be denied. The Red and White team continued their comeback by defeating the strong Peacock Military Academy team by the onesided score of 27 to 0. The team played a wonderful game and completely outclassed the Peacock men. They failed to make any long sensational gains but they were always steadily gaining aud had little trouble pileing up points. We defeated Peacock so easily that the St. Louis College eleven decided to forfeit their game to us therefore we won our last three games and would have won more but this ended the football season. The team was managed by Bartlett McMellan and he did a very creditable job of it as all expenses were met and enough money realized to buy each member of the foot ball team a little gold football with his name. M. A. H. S., position, and 1919 engraved upon it for his good service during the foot ball season. The feature of the football season was the fine support accorded the team by the entire student body and faculty. They turned out in large numbers to witness all of the games and showed plenty of the Old Main High spirit. Many of the Alumni commented upon the way the team was supported both financially and morally and were delighted with the fine showing of the team during the later part of the season.

MARLOW “BONES” IRVIN by his fine playing in the line and fierce tackling was placed upon the All-Star Academic eleven at tackle. Only three Main players received this honor and “Bones” has two more years on thc-team. Two Hundred Six EDWIN “RED” HINMAN one of the best little ends that Main ever had and All-Star selection for that position did some great work. “Red” showed up especially well in getting down the field after punts and downing the man with the ball. J. B. KERR was a very capable mate for “Red” Hin-man at the other wing position. Very few gains were made around, Kerr’s end and time after time he smashed through the opposition and tackled the man with the ball. RALPH BONNETT playing his first year of football improved as the season advanced and during the last few games did some fine work at halfback. Playing his last game for Old Main against Peacock, he played a great game. Two Hundred Seven isz ARCHIE SCOTT, substitute end played well while in the game and will be a valuable man to next fall’s eleven. Ho has the ability of a star player. JACK EVANS was one of the best full backs in the Academic league and was the leading point scorer for Main. He scored 30 points and the way he hit the opposing line was a revelation. WILLIAM PHILIPS did Some fine work at halfback and has the honor of scoring the first touchdown of the season for Main. Two Hundred Eight RAINS DUBOSE was one of the best guards in the Academic League and it was impossible to make any gains through him. Rains would probably have won a place on the All-Star team had he played the whole season. HOMER STEVENSON, sub stitute halfback when subbing for Dale McCoy pulled off several sensational end runs. Homer is one of the fastest men in the backfield and will be a great help to the team next fall. ERWIN KING played good football at tackle and has the makings of a great player. He has one more year on the eleven and should develop into one of the best players in the League. Two Hundred Nine BERNARD MEITZEN, substitute end. did some good work and should make a valuable man for next year’s eleven. Bernard played center in a few games. S T E G E R ALEXANDER helped make the Main line a stonewall by his good work It was impossible to get by Steger for any long gains. FRED ABBOTT was handicapped most of the season on account of sickness but played good football and deserves much praise for his .accurate passing. This was Fred's last year on the team. Two Hundred Ten Two Hundred Eleven Two Hundred Twelve COACH J. M. HALL deserves much praise for his fine work in coaching Main’s backet ball team to the first state championship they have had in a long time. They went through the season without a defeat and made a great record. HENRY GOTTWALD, one of the best basket ball players that ever played on a Red and White team, was captain of the five. Henry proved a very capable leader and by his good work set an example to his team mates. Henry will be on the team again next year. Two Hundred Thirteen ALBERT BRIE NT, playing his third and last year on the team, starred in every game. He played forward and averaged six field goals a game and by unusual passing was often referred to as the best team player on the five. GILBERT WENDLAND made a good running mate for Brient and shot many sensational field baskets. “Cotton” won many friends by his splendid work and will help build up a quintet next year. JACK EVANS played fine at guard and it was next to impossible to throw a field basket against him. He also did some fast passing which time after time spelled a field basket for the Red and White. Two Hundred Fourteen V s555SS?' - J SSSZ3 THAI) MACKLEY, the star guard on the team held the opposing forwards down to almost nothing in every game and did some of the finest passing ever seen on a basket ball court. Mack ley will be back again next year. GILBERT SANTA CRUZ, substitute forward when he relieved the regular forwards did some fine work and helped Main to many victories. Gilbert has one more year on the team and should be a regular. ARCHIE SCOTT, substitute guard always did a good job of it and he will be on the team again next year and should be a regular if he keeps on improving. Two Hundred Fifteen Review of 1920 Basket Ball Season HE Main Avenue High School basket ball team made the best record of any Main High team in a long time. They met the best teams in and around San Antonio and when the season ended not a defeat was charged against them. We won the Academic League title and also the State Basket Ball Championship. The only team that had a claim to the State title besides Main was the Dallas team but Main challenged them and they failed to answer thereby forfeiting all claim they had for the State title leaving Main in undisputed possession of the Championship. The games that pleased the students most was the way the red and white team defeated our rival on the south side, the Brackenridge High. The Brackenridge team was easily outclassed and Main won the two games in a very impressive manner. The season opened on our court when the St. Anthony College quintet came over and met a crushing defeat at the hands of the red and white boys by the score of 43 to 14. Then came the St. Mary’s game! Neither team had lost a game and the outcome was very much in doubt but the team gave the St. Mary’s five a crushing defeat by the score of 52 to 11. The team then journeyed down to San Marcos and played the Baptist Academy of that city in one of the best and hardest fought games ever seen in that city. The regulation game ended with the score standing at a tie, each team having 29 points. The referee called an extra five minute period to play off the tie and at the beginning of this extra period one of the Academy boys threw a foul goal putting them in the lead by one point. They held this advantage until the last minute of play when a Main player shot a sensational field goal putting the red and white team in the lead and they won the game because shortly afterward the whistle blew. Main won the game by tile close score of 31 to 30. The Brackenridge series for the Academic League Championship came next and the outcome caused great elation among the Main students because we easily defeated them in two games. The first game was witnessed by one of the largest crowds that ever saw a basket ball game in this city and the red and white triumped over the south siders by the one sided score of 34 to 13. We also won the second game with Brackenridge, the final score being 28 to 25. The Brackenridge team put up a much better fight in the last game than the first but the skill of the red and white team was not to be denied and they easily out classed the purple and white five. The Main team bewildered their opponents by their fast passing and accurate goal shooting. The south siders became dizzy trying to see the ball and w?ere so completely outclassed that at times they appeared lost. Two Hundred Sixteen Review of 1920 Basket Ball Season (Continued) The star goal shooting of Captain Henry Gottwald was the feature of every game played by the team. He made 82 points in the five games, an average of more than 16 points a game. He also starred on the defensive for his team and seemed to be all over the court at the same time, always at the right place. Albert Brient, the star right forward of the team was also one of its leading point scorers because he ran up 60 points during the season. Brient is one of the best team players on the quintet, his passing was the feature of every game. Gilbert Wendland the other forward was right on Brient’s heels and brought the crowd to its feet yelling many times by shooting sensational field goals. “Cotton” will be on the team again next year and should be a great help in turning out another strong team. The guarding of Thad Mackley and Jack Evans for the team is the main reason we won so many games without defeat because if you keep the other team from scoring how do they expect to win. Gilbert Santa Cruz and Archie Scott were two very able substitutes when any of the regulars were out of the game. They stepped into games time after time when one of the regular five were injured and by good playing helped the team on to victory. A great deal of credit for the success of the team is due to Coach J. M. Hall. Mr. Hall taught them all the inside dope about basket ball and developed them into champions. The thing that he did was to instill into them that old Main fighting spirit which has been lacking lately in our teams. This “never say die” spirit and good hard clean fight which they put up in every game is what won most of their victories. The team was managed by Bartlett McMellan and he did a very good job of it as enough money was relized to pay all expenses and to give each member of the team a little gold basket ball with his name, position, 1920, State Champions and M. A. H. S. engraved upon it. The students of this honorable Institution of learning deserve much praise for the way they supported their team and turned out at the games and cheered them on to victory. Old Main has surely come back by the record made by their teams and the spirit shown by the students. The gold basket balls and letters were presented to the following men for their fine services rendered during the basket ball season: Coach J. M. Hall, Manager Bartlett McMellan. Captain Henry Gottwald, Albert Brient, Gilbert Wendland, Gilbert Santa Cruz, Thad Mackley, Jack Evans and Archie Scott. RECORD FOR SEASON G. W. L. Pet. Main High.................... 5 5 0 1000 Two Hundred Seventeen iSSfcWi S I DC LISB- ON LV INTERESTED IT D l D 0 CK OP T H- B JCK£HS Two Hundred Eighteen Two Hundred Nineteen COACH WILL ROB “JIBAVV” BRIGGS by his good work developed the best baseball team Main has had in a long time. Mr. Briggs is a former Main student and worked hard for a winning team and deserves much credit for the showing of the team. He taught the team many points about the game and many games were won by inside base ball as a result of his coaching. This is Mr. Briggs’ third year as coach of the team and each year they have made a creditable showing but this year was best as we copped the championship by winning 10 straight games. BARTLETT McMELLAN was elected captain of the baseball team for the second consecutive year and led the team in great style. This is Bartlett’s third and last year on the team and he made it his best by aiding the team in winning the Academic League Championship. Two Hundred Twenty GILBERT “COTTON” WEN I) LAND played g r e a t ball on second base and pulled some of the best plays ever seen on the diamond. “Cotton” is a three letter man and deserves every one of them by his good work. GILBERT PARR the young left handed pitcher of the team distinguished himself by pitching a no hit game. This is very seldom accomplished and he deserves much credit for the feat. DALE McCOY was easily the best catcher in the Academic League. He led the team in stolen bases and scored the most runs and hit well over the three hundred mark. Two Hundred Twenty one WILLIAM PHILIPS play ing his second year on the team, did some fine playing on short. Bill has two more years on the team and should develop into a star as he is a very promising player. EDWIN “BED” HINMAN was general utility man a7id played every position in the infield well. “Red” always had plenty of pep and was talking it up every minute. HENRY GOTTWALD. the star third base man of tho team played well in every game and finished the season batting over three hundred and fifty. Henry will be back again next year. Two Hundred Twenty two ROY PHILLIPS played well in left field and did some timely hitting. He covered more ground in left field than Barnum and Bailey’s tent and it was impossible to knock one through him. BARLOW IRVIN did some great work in right field and went through the season without an error. He also did some timely batting. EDDIE CORTINEZ, the only freshman on the team showed up well in every game and made some fine catches in centerfield. Eddie has three more years on the team and should develop into a star. Two Hundred Twenty-three HOMER WEST was a very valuable utility man and played good ball when given a chance. Homer has two more years on the team and should develop into a star. GILBERT SANTA CRUZ, substitute infielder had little chance to show but played good ball while in the lineup. He should be a valuable man next year. FOSTER CONOLY played great ball through the whole season and won many games by his long extra base hits. Foster will be greatly missed next year. Two Hundred Twenty-four Review of 1920 Base Ball Season The baseball season at Main High was one of the most successful enjoyed by a Red and White team and most of the credit for the success of the team goes to our coach, Will Rob Briggs. Coach Briggs’ by hard work and much patience developed a great team and they went thru the season without a defeat charged against them and ran up a string of victories numbering ten. The feature of the baseball season was the pitching and batting of Captain Bartlett McMellan. Playing his last year for Main he simply went wild and starred in every game. The catching and hitting of Dale McCoy was also a feature. His work caused him to be classed as the best catcher in the Academic League. Foster Conoly playing his third year on the team did some fine work. He only made one error the whole season and slammed out many long hits. Gilbert “Cotton” Wendland and William Philips played around that old second sack like two big leaguers. “Cotton” played second and William short. They pulled many startling double plays. Henry Gottwald played great ball on the third sack and did some fine hitting. He played especially brilliantly in the last Brackenridge game. The splendid work of the Main outfield saved many games for us. Barlow Irwin, Charles Chowning. Roy Phillips and Eddie Cortinez did some wonderful fielding and some very timely hitting. Edwin Hinman. Homer West and Gilbert Santa Cruz proved themselves capable substitutes. Gilbert Parr also pitched great ball in the two games in which he worked, pitching a no-hit game. The Red and White team opened the season in a very impressive manner by defeating the strong West Texas team by the score of 7 to 3. The game was a nip and tuck affair until the eighth inning. With the score standing at a tie, each team having one run, a big rally was staged by the Main boys and when the smoke cleared the team had scored six runs. Bartlett McMellan twriled a fine game, holding the West Texas team to six hits and stricking out nine men. Dale McCoy, our star catcher did some great work behind the plate and his ringing two bagger in the eight started Main on the road to victory. With Bartlett McMellan pitching one of his best games Main had little trouble winning the second game of the season from Peacock Military College. The score was the same as in the first game, it being 7 to 3. Bartlett McMellan allowed only two hits and struck out ten men. Chowning. Bill Philips, Irwin and Captain McMellan collected two hits apiece. Main continued their winning streak by defeating the San Antonio Academy to the tune of 10 to 3. Gilbert Parr entered the hall of fame by twirling a 4-hit game, the first game he ever twirled for Main. The Red and White boys went on a hitting rampage and with Parr pitching great ball the Academy never had a chance. The feature of the game was the hiting of Captain Bartlett McMellan who crashed out a triple, single and double and scored three runs. Main defeated Brackenridge in the next game by pulling one of the most sensational ninth inning rallies ever witnessed. The game seemed dopelessly lost as the Main team began their last “bats” with the score 5 3 against them, but then the old Main fighting spirit manifested itself. Roy Phillips opened the sensational rally in the ninth which snatched a victory from what seemed cerain defeat by smashing out a pretty single, the next two men were retired and there we stood, two out and two runs behind in our last Two Hundred Twenty-five Review of 1920 Base Ball Season (Continued) Inning. Chowning then singled over short and Conoly walked. Ailing the bases. The Brackenridge pitcher then plunked McCoy, our star catcher, in the ribs, forcing in Phillips. Then with Main still one run behind and the bases full. McMellan crashed out his third hit of the game, a ringing two bagger which cleaned the bases and put the game on ice for Old Main. McMellan retired Brackenridge in their last inning without any damage and they went home a conquered team by the score of 7-5. The Red and White added another victory to their string when they defeated the St. Louis College team with the score of 9 to 1. The feature of the contest was a no-hit game turned in by Gilbert Parr. Gilbert entered the hall of fame because this is the Arst time this feat has been accomplished by a Main pitcher. Foster Conoly and Bartlett McMellan were the hitting stars, each smashing out a triple and single. Barlow Irwin collected two hits and did some Ane Aelding. Main began the second round by beating West Texas in a good game by the score of 5 to 1. Bartlett McMellan was never in better form and pitched a magniAcent game. He struck out fourteen men and allowed only one hit and knocked out a Ane double in the Arst inning, scoring two men. Peacock Military Academy fell before Main again to the tune of 4 to 1 and ran our string of victories up to seven. Dale McCoy played a great game and scored two runs. Dale’s playing featured every game played by the Red and White boys. He jumped over spectators and benches going after foul balls. Bartlett McMellan pitched another good game and drove out two hits. The eagerly awaited Brackenridge game came next and the championship hinged uport the result. Brackenridge had been winning all of their games except the one with Main and they were conAdent of winning this one. Because of the importance of the contest it was played at the League Park. Main continued to drag Brackenridge in the dust by winning the game 4 to 3. Captain Bartlett McMellan pitched one of his best games, allowing Brackenridge only four hits and struck out nine men. He seemed to get better as the game progressed and Brackenridge could not see the ball in the last inning. One of the largest crowds that ever witnessed a high school game in this city was present. It is estimated that 2700 persons attended the game. Coach Briggs’ team continued their winning streak by defeating the San Antonio Academy for the second time by the score of 10 to 4. Henry Gottwald, who had been injured most of the season pitched a good game and banged out a triple and single. Henry’s return strengthened the team very much and helped to keep up the team’s reconi. The playing of the entire team was good and Coach Briggs deserves much credit for the record of the team. The last game of the season was with St. Louis College and also resulted into a victory for Main by a very narrow margin. The team appeared overconAdent and when the ninth inning rolled around they were two runs behind. The team not wanting their winning streak broken rallied and tied the score and won the game by scoring a run in the tenth inning. Main won the game in the tenth inning by the score of 4 to 3 when McMellan doubled, scoring McCoy from second base. This gives Main ten straight victories in baseball without a de feat and we are going out for the state championship and have a Ane team to back up our claims. We have made some record, by winning our last three football games and Ave in basket ball, and now ten in baseball we have run our string of consecutive victories up to 18. This is a record and we hope Main keeps up the good work in years to come. 7’ :v; Hundred Twenty-six Review of 1920 Base Ball Season (Continued) BATTING AVERAGES OF THE RED AND WHITE PLAYE IRS Name AB R H S.H S.B 2H 3H Pet.

Like everything else Main boys or girls attempt, it turned out a success. In fact, it turned out a championship team. The greatest praise is due to the team for their hard and persistent work in the face of great difficulties. The line up of the team is as follows: Guards: Melva Fanset Mabel Bates Side Center: Sibyl Vedder (Captain) confidently expected to win, and We expacted to lose, almost as The game was hard fought, but Forwards: Lucille Smith Gracie Cocks Center: Gladys Talley The first real game was with Camp Normoyle. They with good reason, for we had not yet proved our mettle, confidently, but were determined to put up a good fight, to everyone's surprise, it was ours from the very beginning. The score in the first quarter was 20-8. The final score was 30-11. Main Avenue had proved her right to a place in the Championship Contest. The next two games were played with the Alamo Heights team. The first, played at Alamo Heights, was fought on uneven ground and almost with boys rules, but Main won 8-6. In the second game, on familiar ground (the Y. W. C. A.) we showed our powers and won 26-8. Miss Irwin refereed the second game. A friendly game was played with Harlcndale in which Main won with a score of 20-2. Miss Gimmesson refereed. Next we entered the lists with the Y. W. C. A. team. After a long ami exhausting struggle on both sides, our team, encouraged by their captain, won in the end of the last quarter by desperate playing. Lucille put in the deciding goal. The score was 15-13. Miss Irwin, Captain of the Base Hospital team, refereed. Our chance for the State Championship was endangered the next week when we played San Marcos Academy, and lost, with a score of 30-6. A week later the chance was gone (but not forgotten) with a score of 32-20 in favor of the same team. The first game was played at San Marcos. The second at the Y. W. C. A. Main was outclassed, not so much by play, although San Marcos plays a splendid game, as by weight and size. The second game with Camp Normoyle left us a sadder and wiser team and gave us a great feeling of respect for Normoyle's team and their canny scotch captain. Miss Campbell. The game was hard fought (for it is Main's way never to give up) as the score (14-12) proves, but we lost. It was their opinion as well as ours that they deserved what they got. This game left us tied for Championship. Miss Gimmesson refereed splendidly. Our second game with the Y team was as hard as the first. The Y team plays hard and to the finish. We tied, and then had five minutes to play off the tie. Lucille put in a goal and so did their team. Then Just before the whistle blew, a foul was made and Gracie put in a free throw, giving us the game by one point—score 15-14. The championship lay tied between Main and Camp Normoyle. Wl.th great difficulty, the captain persuaded Miss Campbell to play off the tie. Arrangements were made to get us to Normoyle, but at the last minute Lucille failed to come. After waiting an hour our captain phoned Normoyle and received the message, “play or forfeit,’’ from Miss Campbell. As it was against the school traditions to forfeit, she replied, play and the team started out. Without our star forward we stood little show and the ride out there was a strain on the whole team. Lucille appeared just as time was called and she was given two minutes to get ready . Then the whistle blew and we were fighting for the city title. That game was a splendid one. Both sides played a clean and desperately hard game. When time was called the score was tied. Five minutes were given to play off the tie (12-12). Main won, 18-15. The team wishes to take this opportunity of thanking their coach. Miss Adams, and Mr. Howard for their assistance. Bart MacMellan also deserves our thanks for his assistance. The team has received Mr. Howard's promise of letters. The first girls’ Basket ball team has started the sport with a bang by winning a championship title and the school letters and they wish success to the coming teams. Two Hundred Twenty-nine Review of Main-Brackenridge Track Meet The track team of Main Avenue High contributed their bit toward making the athletic season at Main the very best which they have ever enjoyed by defeating the Brackenridge track team by the one sided score of 78 to 26. With only a week in which to prepare for the meet with Brackenridge, coach Winchester Kelso deserves much credit for the tine showing of the team. Kelso is a former Main student and was one of the best athletes ever turned out at Main. He worked hard to put the team in fine shape and from their record he evidently succeeded. J. V. Drisdale was captain of the team and one of their best point scorers. He scored 11 points and would have led the team in this respect but for his team mate Jack Evans who scored 16 points. The work of Captain Drisdale and Evans was easily the feature of the meet as they ran first and second in all the dashes. Jack Evans sprinted the hundred yards in 10.2 which is very good time. They made enough points between them to beat Brackenridge as they scored 27 points to 26 for Brackenridge. Main won first place in nine of the scheduled thirteen events and obtained good positions in the rest. Main won the pole vault, 100 yard dash, 220 hurdles, 440 yard sprint, 220 yard dash, half mile, broad jump and the relay race. Brackenridge only won the 120 yard hurdles, high jump, shot put, and the mile race. Eickels was the star for Brackenridge scoring 18 points. Jack Evans and Captain Drisdale were the star point getters for Main with 16 and 11 points respectfully. The other members of the team made the following number of points:: Kelly !) points, Eiser 8, Pfeiffer, Conoly and Scott 5 each, Luckett and Knight 3 each for a total of 78 points, counting the victory of the relay team. One of the prettiest races of the meet was the half mile won by Pfeiffer of the Main team. He ran along in the rear the greater part of the distance, saving himself for a dash on the home stretch. At the right time he began to sprint and crossed the line at least ten yards ahead of his nearest rival. With the victory of the track team over Brackenridge we have 1!) victories out of 22 contests in athletics this year which is the best record Main has made in a long time. When the school term ended we had 1!) straight victories to our credit. The wish of all Main students and alumni is that the athletic teams will begin where they left off in 1920 and set up a record that will never be equalled.

It is rightly so, because at the ceremony of retreat is the only time that that glorious banner, so representative of our country’s history and honor, is lowered. It is lowered then only to protect it from the elements and because it is a sacrilege to let it fly after sunset. It is a very inspiring sight to see the battalion lined up at attention and go through the ceremony, and it is a perfect ending of the day to go through the solemn and heartfelt ceremony, and the oftener it is done, tin nearer and dearci the flag is to every one of us. Two Hundred Forty three The Cadet Corps The Cadet Corps was organized at Main soon after school opened in September of 191!) with a total enrollment of 175 boys. There were three companies of Infantry organized and put in the field. The aim of these companies was two fold in that they wished to give the boys not only the necessary Infantry drill but also to give them physical exercise which are very beneficial to the boys. These companies drill for half an hour to get the discipline and Infantry tactics. Then the remaining time is spent in setting up exercises or some healthful game. These games are very beneficial to all boys, in that they shake off that tired, sleepy feeling and key the wits up to a high point. They are exactly the stimulant everyone needs to start the day right, and those fellows who have taken them have made better grades on account of them. The Infantry companies have been formed into the First Battalion. The battalion has battalion parade very often; a very pretty and effective ceremony. The battalion stands at “Retreat” every afternoon when the colors are hauled down. It is a very impressive and effective ceremony, when the battalion is lined up, the officers report to the adjutant and to the Commandant, four bugles play “To The Color” and “Retreat” then each captain dismisses his company, concluding the ceremony. We have been very fortunate indeed to have had with us as a commandant this first year William Hampton, a Sergeant in the Sixth Marine Regiment, which was brigaded with the Second Division in France. Hampton has a personal citation which reads—“He conducted his platoon to attack on four different occasions, his platoon leader being wounded. He assisted in the capture of numerous machine guns and prisoners. He constantly exposed himself to the enemy fire in order to organize his position and to place his men to minimize the losses. ’ ’ This citation refers to the morning of October 9, when the Marines attacked a strong machine gun nest near St. Etienne. The Lieutenant was wounded and as senior sergeant, Hampton took command of the platoon. The platoon captured the machine guns, killed or captured the gunners and held the position against a much superior force of Germans. After the engagement only twelve men remained of the original fifty-eight of the platoon. Hampton saw constant service at Chateau Thierry for a month where he was initiated into all the horrors of modern warfare and where “with the help of God and a few Marines”, Paris was saved from the Hun in July, 1918. Two Hundred Forty Jour The Cadet Corps (Continued) He took active part in both Ihe Argonne drives and it was during the last Argonne drive, just two weeks before the Armistice that he received his first wound. Like many others who saw the thickest of the fighting he was apparently “bullet proof” at any rate, his escape seems more or less miraculous. He seems to have been particularly fortunate this term in leaders for we have had detailed from Fort Sam Houston, Sergeant Blanford Daniel, a former captain of the First Division. A “four gold striper” having been overseas over two years, he knows all the ins and outs of warfare and has certainly taken hold of our Cadet Corps and put a snap into it. Then too, to the Cadet Corps this year belongs an off spring, an experiment known as the Engineers. The Engineers are a rather distinct organization, formed with the idea of giving the Auto shop boys a chance to get in on the drill. The company has grown and grown, from an insignificant squad with a first “looey” in command to a real “he” size company with a Captain, a First Lieutenant and Second Lieutenant and six Sergeants. The Engineers get the regular Infantry drill on a rather extensive scale, both semaphore and wigwag, either of which is very beneficial to any boy. The Engineers have been on several very successful hikes. The longest and greatest was when they went out past Camp Travis to the Salado Creek and camped out. The exploration of the old Nineteenth Division trenches, a review by General Harbord, commander of Camp Travis, and the cracking of the machine guns close by made the hike one long to be remembered and of great interest to all those who went. Then the Military Police organization of the Cadet Corps has done very effective work in preventing “class cutting”, preserving order in and about school and generally being “on guard” against anything that would happen to disrupt the school organization. A great deal of credit is due to this organization, as it has accomplished its object in a fine manner.

Geyer Two Hundred Forty-fire Two Hundred Forty-seven The Weekly Huisache Under Management of Staff of February, 1920, Class With the beginning of the month of September the little bee hive in one of the most secluded places of Main High issud forth a buzz seemingly of the busiest manufacturing centers of the country. Such was the condition of the Huisache office; all hands were on deck preparing for a gigantic “better Huisache’' campaigne which would bring our paper to a more successful literary height than ever before recognized in the circles of high school publications. Even form the very highest official to the very lowest, their was a continuous throb through the staff for cooperation with the student body and alumni in producing a paper more representative and interesting to all phases of school activities. As a result of this sudden and enthusiastic outburst of “Huisache” optimism, not only was the quality of news made two-fold better but the quantity as well was doubled in a production of eight unique and attractively arranged pages. The paper took on a new aspect; new departments were added and were increased to accommodate the great need of material; and the staff comprised a greater proportion of the student body thereby producing a more thorough and accomplished publication. Accomplishing these feats was a most efficient staff headed by James Hirshfield as Editor-in-Chief, Mildred Burrows, serving as Assistant Editor, very capably filled her office with the greatest of interest and care for betterment of the paper, while handling the business and advertising ends of the Huisache were Mac Russ and Raymond Thorne. The entire staff comprised the following: Editor-in-Chiet......................................James Hirshfield Assistant Editor.....................................Mildjed Burrows Business Manager...................................................Mac Russ Assistant Business Manager ........................John H.

The Christmas edition, which was composed of sixteen brimful and newsy pages, deserves additional praise in the upward line of Huisache development. As the term drew to a close, the Feb. staff ushered in an understudy staff which was elected from the June Class, and the two together bent all efforts toward a still more successful career in the insuing semester. Tu'o Hundred Forty-nine Vj 'I The Huisache Takes a Boost Accomplishments of Staff of June '20 Class The first issue took the form of twelve pages, and three lively and interesting departments made their debut. It seemed as if the light of a new era had shown amidst the history of our paper; the Huisache had been pushed and shoved a few notches more in the right direction. Still a greater improvement was shown as the weeks passed on and the efficiency of the staff began to increase. In taking a look at just what our paper is comprised of. let us view the departments. Of course general school news “rides over all other material as the Big Boss says, but for seasoning, it takes such departments as “Briefs , “Who’s Who , and “Current News to satisfy the reading appetite of Main and outside patrons. The Staff of the June ’20 Class has been very fortunate in securing an expert corps of reporters and editorial writers, and for this reason, the “write ups have proved first class. Not only have the write ups been of a supreme quality, but the main feature of the success of the paper this term has been due to the unusual quality of the paper’s “make up”. This was accomplished through the services of the editor. Raymond Thorne and his most capable assistant editor, Barbara Eikel. Acting as heads of the business and advertising departments were Sanford Twente and Rigsby Hammond. A complete list of the staff follows: Edi tor• iti'Chief.............

It is truely representative of our school, and carries with all the many and high ideals that the traditions and reputation of Main High hold. The Huisache has given to our institution a powerful school spirit, a genuine cooperative fellowship, an inspiration for higher ideals in all phases of life, and lastly, a wonderful reputation throughout the country. The school is thankful for it, and expects the paper to do still greater things.

This is evidently as true of the genius of the mart as it is popularly supposed to be of the more esthetic forms of genius. An instance in substantiation of this opinion was recently related by a veteran business man as a side light on the why of the success of a well-known industrial leader. “I remember him,” it was related, “when he was a lad of six years, lie wanted to trade a lantern for one owned by a playmate, which he admired. Coming to his father, he asked counsel about the matter and was informed that he should use his own judgment. “ ‘Well, dad,’ said the boy, ‘I believe I'll trade; but wouldn’t vou take the od out first?’ ” Why Wait?

Have you made anv shopping tours with her lately?” “No, sir.” “Ever been in a department store and asked the present price of women’s suits and hats?” “No, sir.” “Know anything at all about the cost of provisions?” “Only that which I have learned from the talk of others.” “Well, young man, my advice to you is to make a trip of investigation. I don’t know what your present income is, but after you’ve learned for yourself just what those clothes she wears are costing me, if you come back and say that you can support her in the style to which she lias been accustomed lately, I’ll give my consent.” Knew From Experience “Yes, sir, it is pretty hard to collect money just now; I know it.” “Have you tried and failed?” “Oh, no.” “IIow then do you know that money is hard to collect?” “Because several people have tried to collect some from me.” How True!

Invariably our investigation of these complaints shows that the customer U6ed more gas than he thought he had consumed—for cooking, lighting or for heating—and the gas meter is vindicated. More than 8,000,000 gas meters arc in use in the United States at the present time. A recent investigation made by the American Gas Association which represents a majority of the Gas Companies in the United States disclosed the fact that “the gas meter is not only the most accurate measuring instrument of its kind made, but it is more accurate than 95 percent of the timepieces we depend upon every day.“ Certainly the Gas Industry may be justly proud of this record. We are always ready to test any meter which the customer may have reason to believe is not working accurately - • SAN ANTONIO PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY Then Mamma Knew “Mamma, I lost my gum,” cried little Harold. “Hush, darling,” she cut him off, then smiled apologetically at her guests. “Mamma, I lost—,” this time the mother smiling vacantly over her portion of the chop suey lunch, effectively stopped Harold with a sharp pinch of his leg under the table.

Two Hundred Eighty On Front Doors Front doors are like humans, and have characters like them. You have often seen these springy doors with a crafty look, that start to close slowly, and then catch your fingers before you can pull them out. They are like humans that smile in your face, and talk behind your back. Then there is the front door with the greasy stains around the knob, and all kinds of marks over the panels. Somehow they remind me of a fellow I used to know who always smelt of melted butter and doughnuts. The front door has its humorist, its aristocrat and its beauty. The humorist is usually very innocent-looking, it may have a glass in it, or it may not; but if it has, it usually breaks it. It boosts you into the street unceremoniously, it opens suddenly and throws you on the floor, it sticks in damp weather, and then, after you have exerted all your strength on it. it opens with case. The aristocrat is usually sedate and stern, and is covered with carvings of lions and decorated with Corinthian columns. Ho never opens or closes quickly, but has the same slow movement—like a procession. But the beauty—she is human, she is graceful, sometimes coquettish. Smiling at you, she seems to bow when she opens; she invites you to enter, and makes you feel at home. She may be playful at times, but she fascinates you with her little ways. There are church doors reminding one of “Dc Profundis” and the “Tene-brae, ” and revolving doors like squirrel wheels; there are immense plate-glass doors, making you feel that they are going to break any minute, and wooden doors that slam. We have white doors and varnished doors; mahogany doors and bronze doors; creaking doors and hissing doors. We also had—well, swinging doors, hut we don’t know much about them. No matter what the door is, it has a certain character—like humans. It may not have a definite character, hut some humans haven’t. It may he frowning or smiling, angry or peaceful; it may he just ordinary—but it’s human. Our Fountain Drinks Have Made a Reputation Hymas Drug Store 659 Main Avenue Th os. Goggart Bros.
