Remember-? SEPTEMBER 14. 1920—SCHOOL OPENS Dr. Rhodes. Mr. Howard, and School! They were the surprises the fourteenth of September held in store for Main Avenue hoys and girls. Mr. Howard had evidently missed his children during the long summer months, because he decided to come hack to us. We were very glad to see him back at Old Main on that first day. The place wouldn’t have seemed at all natural without him. Dr. Rhodes, our new superintendent, came all the way from California. He is thouroughly capable of filling his new position as superintendent of the San Antonio Schools. He has all the latest and broadest ideas on education and thinks that we should be organized and allowed to rule ourselves in co-operation with the faculty. OCTOBER 1, 1920 PRESIDENT OF STUDENTS’ COUNCIL ELECTED With the beginning of the school term, came the demand for a students’ council, just as we had the term before. Candidates were nominated for the office of president. And an assembly was held in which each of the three candidates made a speech stating just what he stood for, and what he intended to do for the whole student body if he were elected. Then the excitement of an election! Real polls and an election conducted just as a presidential election should be! We could hardly wait till the following Monday to hear the returns. Well, it came finally, and William Winkler was the lucky one. There was great rejoicing in his ranks, especially in his own advisory, which presented him with a big box of candy. OCTOBER 8. 1920—JUNE PICNIC The first social event of that snappy June Class was held at Brackenridge Park. October 8th, with the June Class out in full force. After everyone had enjoyed the eats. Mr. Howard gave an enthusiastic talk. Mr. Howard. Jr., however, attracted more attention than his proud “daddy.” He was unanimously chosen to be the June Mascot. A suggestion that we take a trip up the Alpine drive was immediately followed. Did we have a good time? we’ll say so!!! With such officers, sponsors, and our mascot we were bound to be the peppiest class Main had yet seen. Ross Howard —9—
