HUIS ACHE—1922 Copyright 1922 CLAUD B. KNIGHT, Editor RICHARD ECKHARD, Hu si mss Manager MISS E. STONE, Literary Sponsor —Foreipor And each daij brings its petty dust Our soon-choked souls to fill; And we forget because rue must And not because rue mill. Cfo snatch from obliuion some of the glad ruild moments, some of the high-hearted proofs of good fellowship, some of the charming uignettes of high school life, rue haue compiled this book. If in the brief cessations of the strenuous demands that life makes, it fills your soul with the glow of remembered happiness, we haue succeeded. I ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ HI l1 ■ J ■ 1 ■ 2 ■ IMSllinBlIj ■ i ■ ■ ■ J ■ J ■ ■ 6 HUISACHE—1922 Mother The noblest thoughts my soul can claim The holiest words my tongue can frame, Unworthy are to praise the name More sacred than all other. An infant, when her lave first came— A man, I find it just the same; Reverently I breathe her name. The blessed name of mother. —George Griffith Fetter 0 De ication- cto ihe mothers of the June 1922 graduating | Class, me dedicate this book. Their sympathetic I understanding and patient abnegation of self in | helping us through our last year of high school I haue made possible our happy graduation. If me | haue mastered our difficulties and risen superior | to the drab commonplaceness of the daily grind, f it is to their far-seeing loue that me ome the victory. | So me mould offer them this sliqht token of our J loue and appreciation. i ■ 7 9 10 HERE we to measure ourselves by our successes during the year, we could indeed be proud of our record. But, to me, more gratifying than these successes has been the spirit with which teachers and pupils, alike, have entered into every school undertaking and the accomplishment of the various tasks which were performed. The past year has presented trying and unfavorable conditions which were felt by everyone in this school. But so nobly has everyone here risen to the occasion, that, despite our many handicaps, we are still marching along with flying colors,—and still striving for bigger and better things. I attribute this interest and enthusiasm in school affairs to the splendid co-operation between faculty and student-body. Let us bind these ties of good-fellowship and comradeship even more closely in the future, and we shall have laid a foundation upon which Old Main can build many more successes. 11 r |Rl IjV it has been a happy designation to call the ___| closing exercises of a school “Commencement”, for is it not the commencement of life with its serious duties, its bigger ambitions, and thrilling problems after the year's of preparation and careful training at school. The graduate stands upon the threshold of the future, his heart throbbing with mingled fear and daring, and his thought burning with the desire to do. The glorious satisfaction of work well done spurs him on to attack greater problems with an assurance that only the idealism of youth can carry. And so the young graduate steps into the world on this Commencement night, thrilled and awed by the wonders that lie hidden behind the veil of Dame Future. You, graduates of dune, 1!)22. are among the happy chosen ones. Opportunity is awaiting you: opportunity,, greater, wider in range, more complete in its scope than ever before. May you grasp it firmly with the will to make your presence and your power felt wherever it is exerted. Sincerelv vours, V. J 1 A OCR A EM A mater Fortunately wo arc all blessed with a memory, Imt this is also unfortunate. Surely memories are always sad. for they recall a multitude of things that have happened in the past, things that are pretty apt not to happen again, things that are not apt to come back to you no matter how you want them. So, I say, they are fairly sad things to be blessed with; they are contradictory things as well for they are nice to have when you are lonesome or want to remember where you put that dime you can’t find or that Algebra lesson you wrote out and misplaced. Hut all of this leads me to say that when you are rather old and somewhat grey you’ll be glad to have a memory to take you back to your youth, your youth spent in Main, your happy, carefree youth. And then I wonder just what you will remember? That English that was so hard or that friend that was so true? Perhaps you will remember the first time you came to Main and felt so shy, so frightened. But surely you’ll recall the cafeteria; that same old cafeteria where you partook t of vegetable soup and peanuts; that same old cafeteria where you stepped on everybody elses feet and where you might gaze upon the teachers on their miniature stage, built just so that you might look at them thus, perfectly happy. If you are doing your own cooking you will wonder at the cafeteria; if you are not, you’ll look at this picture of it and wonder none the less. That’s always been the good part of the cafeteria to me, it keeps you guessing, you never can tell. Then suppose you look at this bird’s—eye of the library; you’d say: “Ah, that’s where I once sat. The most uncomfortable chair in the room too and all for HIM or for HER”, as the case might be. Then you will probably laugh at yourself and think of all of those foolish things you did for HIM or HER. But perhaps 1 have not said anything about you, friend book-worm; then you will sav: “There’s the shelf I used to love. The last shelf of all containing the Encyclopedia Brittanicas. How well I remember the day I made the great discovery that Milton’s sister, Anne, married a man named Phillips who was a stable manager. I feel that this fact alone has increased my store of knowledge to an over flow, while all of the other few thousands of things that these volumes contain seem minor details and “lesser lights”. How can I forget this place that has endowed me with such a wealth of knowledge?” Don’t, my friend, always remember it; you’ll like to recall these moments sometime. Perhaps the most easily remembered thing is the saw; a buzz saw it reminds you of, not unlike those seen in the comic sections that are always in the corner of the picture when a sleeper is drawn. The sound of Main’s saw seemed to strongely resemble one just after lunch when it buzzed away and when you seemed to have spring fever or something of the sort. Sometimes, if you will remember, it sounded very angry and very cross, just like you felt probably and then you’ll remember that that was the strange thing about the saw— whatever humour you were in it seemed to correspond perfectly. Congenial, to say t he least! There was another thing about the school, you will say, that was strange aneb really rather suffocating. You had noticed when you walked in or about the third building that rather a heavy, rich odor prevaded. Then you’ll remember when you sat in your classes in that building in particular 1 4 that your eyes closed half way frequently and that you could easily dream that you were not where you were at all because the smell made you think that perhaps you were at some banquet where everything was served on a most elaborate scale. That was the coffee house across the way, a most delicious odor. What do your eyes behold? What are those familiar objects that meet your sight ? Those steps to knowledge! Those means of ascension ! Oh, what aching feet they have borne up, what joyous steps they have with-stood! You’ll remember, you’ll remember that you basked there in the bright sunshine or you huddled there in the cold, half frozen but still persistent; you’ll remember that it was from those walks that you left Main and those you mounted first when you had just come. You’ve stood upon them, you. will think; you have sat upon them; you have argued and discoursed there and, yes, you’ve made a little love there too or been made love to there on moonlight nights when everything was susceptible. What a statue of patience and kindness they are and what a monument to joy and wisdom! But they’ll probably glare at you for the remainder of your life if you live here and pass here, unless, of course, we have an earthquake, which isn’t very likely. Oh, you’ll have plenty of things to remember them by so I’ll beg you. don’t forget them. There is another little place that it would never do to leave out of the review and that place is far better known to Main’s students than the old oaken bucket is to the American nation; this place is the front ball. Did you ever think how varied and numerous were its duties? Part of the day it is solemnly and respectfully, very respectfully indeed, without ruffle or frill, decked for school purposes; then in little or practically no time it is elaborately adorned for a dance and all things alien to school life. Did you ever think how often your feet have trod that front hall in swing with the orchestra? Quite a number, I should say. Then since you have done that for me will you turn again and think of the many, many times that you have simply walked there to and from classes. Quite a number more, isn’t it, friend? It’s always been pleasant though, you’ll have to admit; of course there were a few hitches, there are those to everything, but regardless of them you had a pretty good time in your “school days”, isn’t that true? There isn’t any use entreating you to remember your youth if you haven’t made up your mind to not do it already, but you can’t help but remember these things and a million more because they are placed there in your mind in such a way that they a it not easily forgotten so you really can’t help yourself. So— good-bye, good luck, God bless you and further more, may you rest in peace! 1 6 June 1922 Class Organized at Main Avenue in September, 1921. Motto: B-’ Y’s. Colors: Blue and White.

Where the lonely foothills of the Rockies merge into the illimitable prairies Leonard Fohn’s wistfulness would find its proper setting. In a quiet green lap of land that nestles softly down to bask in the sunshine, Dorothy Caffarelli would come to her own. Among a bustling crowd of business men each championing the virtues of his particular car, Chester Ealy would shine. As a missionary with twenty-five little Hindoo girls drinking her words, Leta Howell makes a perfect picture. In the gracious serenity of a country home where order and industry have produced those rare heavens of peace that we all yearn for, we can easily imagine such girls as Serena Gicsecke. Ruth Hileman. Ida Mae Livingston, Lois Marshall. Jewel Long, Wilma Smith. Avon Zahlton, Orleans Wilson, Margaret Urquhart, Pauline Whitaker, and Vinna Robinette. In a nurse’s costume Elma Le Sturgeon makes her way down the high cool corridors of a hospital. With hair piled high and the grand dame air, Cosette Lawrence stands at the head of a receiving line on a formal occasion. Harriet Sprague finds her proper psychical atmosphere in commanding the attention of the Woman’s Club while she shows them just exactly where their thinking has been awry. As unostentatious listeners, unselfishly willing to give up time and energy in order to give political reformers an audience, the following would figure well: Gladys Stallings, Abraham San Miguel, Opal Powell. Frances Murrel, Estella Sasse. Florence Campbell. James Elledge, Clara Lee Kerr, Beatrice Jackson. Gray Gilette in a trig little sport suit out on the golf links. Harry Anderlitch flying around the diamond, Tom Andrews with his head on one side listening in quizzical amusement to her explanation of why she did it, Hazel Archer in the editor’s chair of an educational magazine. Loren Beatty editing the funny page of a big city newspaper, Robert Garwood settling with his fists what his logic has not accomplished, Ruth Davis with artist’s easel sketching an old mill, Dinna Dickinson on a board to investigate every movie in the country. Augustine Gomez graciously bowing his visitors into his mansion, Ralph McKinney lost in admiration before a picture entitled “Betty.” are some of the June ’22 combinations that should bring satisfaction. Esther Bennet in a rose-embowered pergola, Janie Bell energetically swimming down the lagoon, Sarah Ginsberg stranded in a group of lowtoned, old-fashionen girls who practice all the domestic virtues, Richard Homan advertising a side show. Shelby Jordan combatting the views of the latest scientific discoverer, Sidney Kline showing the baby how to play with the kitten, Virginia Kirkland on a stone wall under a pink parasol with a devoted knight listening devoutly, are suggestions for the aesthetic uplift of our members. Our Proper backgrounds (Continued When you think of Sherwood Heard, rompers, baseball games, fights, and wild climbs all over the new houses in the neighborhood come to mind. Etta Martin in a country school reprimanding shy little girls and disobedient little boys with mock severity. Simona Wofford with head high walks the movie stage with haughty disdain. Can’t you picture Oscar Martin with all his little grandchildren around his chair regaling the youngsters with accounts of the days when grandpa was a bad little boy? A church booth to be filled with distinguished baby dolls might call on Mary Ruth Goldman, Flo Hooper. Lucy Margaret Howard, and Norma Henning for some good impersonations. Mary Holliday would appear to advantage before a bond fire in which all the geometries in the world were being consumed. Frances MeCamish should sit on an ebony throne, be fanned by Nubian slaves, and listen to tales told by Sinbad the Sailor. Midnight on the top floor of a select boarding school finds Marjorie McLellan as leader of the fun. John Oliver’s personality stands out best when he is in the center of a group of girls. As funny men in the movies Francis Menger. Fred Neumann, and Paschal Horne would attain great success. In an artist’s studio, with smutches of paint over her apron and a palette in her hand, Wilhema Long would seem at home. Amidst the crackling roar of sparks and the whining hum of a motor Gertrude Miller races down a country road in a red car. The lovable Ruth Miller, the incarnate vision of every man’s ideal girl, is most at home with any group she happens to be in. Nellie Mitchell would appear best vibrating from one social function to another. A recalcitrant desire to cut loose from the demands of conventional society and wander in the inconsequent country of dreams lends an air of protest to such girls as Josie Harris. Katharine Mitchell, Elin Howard, Janie Bell Smith, Ruth Wooldridge; so they should go back to “The Arbian nights” for their proper background. On a spirited horse with the far-flung prairies beckoning. Phyllis Carbusier is in her element. Flashing down the race track, Archie Dullnig is in his heaven. Knee-deep in wild flowery, Edith Mcllwain radiates repose and the charm of eminent content. Queening it over a home where perfect p£ace and happiness reigns is the role that Stella Stumberg, Mary Thomas, Eda Bidder. Eugenia Lilienstern, and Margaret Martin seem best fitted for. If Helen Holtsnider with her wondrous mass of golden hair, could slip into one of the King Arthuc pictures, she would hold her own against Elaine or Guinevere. Geo. Givens has an easy adaptability, an intellectuality, and a social aptitude that would make him fit into the lively group on a college campus. Our Proper Backgrounds Continued) In tlie efficient atmosphere of an up-to-date office where work is despatched with military precision and no surreptitious commerce with powder puffs and rouge is tolerated we might expect to find Beatrice San Miguel, Georgie Jordan, Mary McNeel. Adah McCurdy. Alice Mayhugh, Katherine Ramsey, Annie Wall, Marie Williams. Annie Young, and Viola Hamilton. In an exigency where coolness, dependability, steady nerves, and real force of character are needed call on Bernadine Stokes, Mary Edith Cannon. Florence Flados, Evelyn Hatcher, Lester Stokes, Wm. Wanshaff. and Ellis Wilson. As jolly bachelor uncles to do the proper thing by devoted nephews and nieces Harvey McDonald, Lloyd Morrison, Lawrence Newton, John Patino. Norman MacCleod, Roy Martin. Charles Jackson, and Cleland Harris can’t be beat. In a meeting of representative citizens where stability and general forcefulness of character repeal any suggestion of hastiness or whimsicality, Aaron Wolfson, Frank Vaden. Sam Young, Conway Scogin. Leslie Pfeiffer, and Roland Rathbun would figure well. In a position where a past of immaculate probity is demanded Cecil Lawrence would fill the bill. Jollying a crowd into buying things that it doesn’t need or want, Keene Koetter would find his supreme vocation. Amid venerable buildings, guarding the glory of a by-gone day, Albert Herff Beze seems at home. Amid the color and light and eager-eyed vivacity of a fair. Jane Seiser would find and harmonious role. An immaculate cottage with flower-bordered walks needs Emma Appleton as a complement. Inez Chapman as the director of an orchestra, Lillian Cotton as a movie actress, Elizabeth Baldwin on a basket ball court, Zetta Alonzo in the balcony of a Spanish home with a lover serenading in the court below. Irma Young in a red Packard racing up Main Avenue, Raymond Lanham, plugging away over his books in a college dormitory. Lee Patton coaching basket ball in a Y. M. C. A. gym are some fulfillments to he desired. The pale colors, the delicate silences, the low murmurs of cloudy country days is the proper background for Angela Curry. On a glad upland where “the rosy light quivers on the blades of grass and morning moves in waves along them” such a happy nature as Grace Embry’s would find fitting accompaniment. At that hour when the long lazy twilight merges into the silver radiance of the moonlight. Mary Lou Trott looks her best. Pat Lobban would fit into any situation that demanded his treating an offender with silent scorn. Bessie Bell Marr should stand beside tlie twilight beauty of a lake that looks like some monstrous unflawed turquoise. Carolyn Wine with head bent over a violin evoking those strange minor chords that sob like children is a satisfying picture. HUISACHE—1922 Our Proper backgrounds (Continued) Carl Evans should kneel in soul stirring devotion before a fair-haired cornetist. Robert Thomas should appear before a multitude “mouthing great lines in a rich roar. In the pale uniformity of a snow-covered plain, Louise Delmas would find her proper setting. Grady Craft leading the honor students in his college. Win. Black steering a clean course through the stiffest math class in Rice, Robert Creveling surrounded by little boys whom he is teaching sleight-of-hand tricks to, Bernard Brooks assuming the role of crook on the movie stage, Neal Buckley in an attitude of meek devotion before a sweet young thing seem to satisfy some people. On a Board of Equalization Herman Lichte looks the part and really does reveal intellectual prowess in satisfying all disgruntled taxpayers. The easy abandon of the tennis court reveals Lucile Jaeggli’s knowledge of how to wear sport clothes. Gracie Cocke in a faun skin does the dance of a wild Bacchante in the mottled shade of a hillside. Where winds wail and shadows creep in a mouldering ruin, Elaine Glumaz ponders the poignant possibilities of life. Amidst ministers of state, among whom a courtly air is indispensable. Carlos Gutzeit philanders with momentous matters. In the wholesome atmosphere of a well-regulated home, Myrlle Hillman finds scope for her capacity to keep things running in a sane and happy fashion. In an up-to-date mercantile establishment, briskly humming with modern efficiency, Newton Jackson is secure from any romantic intrusions. Holding her own in a college faculty meeting. Ruth Burton elucidates the latest psychological discoveries and reveals their bearing on college teaching. In the twilight calm of some minster aisle, Miriam Racusin is rapt away by the sacred beauty of the music. With face lifted towards the wonderful stained glass window of a college chapel, Elizabeth Rhodes is lost in a dream of high heroic purpose. With cool-voiced precision, Josephine Simmang recalls the rabid and hectic splut-terings of the Woman’s Club back to the confines of common sense. In the “high blue afternoon, the marching sun and the talking sea” lend a new glory to Jimmie Steele’s piquant charm. “The charm that morning meadows , wear” is what Lemont Proctor needs for her background. A gray misty morning tremulous with birdsong is the only atmosphere for Hazel Milbery. A group of wide-eyed searchers for the geographical possibilities in a sand map watch Melba Putnam’s skilful fingers create islands, isthmuses, and promontories. Too fine to exploit her feminine charms, Ruth Ropes holds statesmen in the national capital spellbound with the convincing logic and the simple directness of her plea. HUISACHE—1922 Our Proper backgrounds (Continued) i Thru the heavy aroma of the smoke-filled air in a bachelor’s appartment. Jack Parker’s contagious geniality strikes an answering note from his cronies, Arthur Gardener, Wm. Olivari, Fred Morse, and Ludlow Rolaff. With the incisive directness born of thorough conviction. Richard Eckhardt challenges the other consulting physicians to point out any flaw in his diagnosis. With gracious ease. Leslie Evans makes the week-end guests at his country house realize what an art social intercourse can be. Fern Gallagher in an evening gown reclining on a richly upholstered lounge before a ruddy fire is very much at home. Marjorie Adams would look best in the front yard of a little cottage with a little white fence behind which she is picking violets. A research laboratory with rows of cracked skulls and gleaming instruments and various classified skeletons is the sort of atmosphere Ernest Howerton should surround himself with. Behind a broad-topped table of the Italian Rennaissance, coldly critical of this latest intrusion into his sanctum. Orin P. McCarty views us inquiringly. If Pythagoras was right, the next time Nessye Levinson enters this world, she will appear as a sleek black beetle, giddily chirping as she pulls herself over the grass to the pond where she will severely criticize the exact curve of her proboscis. That chubby little maid you saw at Signor’s villa near Naples, the one who wore a dark red rose and flashed daring eyes full of possibilities at you was none other than Ernestine Giffen. If you ever meet a girl whose very voice and manner remind you of golden music, Bohemianism raised to nth power, and a subtle suggestion of perfumed confidence, you won’t need any introduction: she is Ruth Elizabeth Herbst. Margaret Van Riper in black velvet standing beside tall white candles and Easter lilies. Sara Finesilver belongs in a field of scarlet poppies. Harry Nass would not be out of place bossing a gang of Mexicans. Maurine Simpson in a pink and white fluffy organdy under a tree of drifting peach blossoms would delight an artist’s soul. The Alps with their hoary heads dwarfing the idle shepherd following the vagaries of his goats, and a quaint little cottage snuggled in some evergreens, needs only one more figure to complete its quaint attractiveness—that is Pansy Forsythe, of course. With the usual sagacity of square-headed people in money matters. Adolph Giesecke fits perfectly in the drab commonplaceness of department store manager. A room full of interested students behind a lecture table covered with an awe-inspiring array of apparatus, and a profound theory born of his own brain, is all that is needed to keep F. S. Smith on the heights of consummate happiness. By the wily use of his smoothly-oiled voice and quiet insinuations, it is no unusual task for Gerhardt Heye to entertain two or three ladies at once. 63 54 55 HUISACHE—1922 Our Proper backgrounds (Continued) To find his proper background Claud B. Knight should transport himself back to the days when: In rough magnificence arrayed, When ancient Chivalry displayed The pomp of her heroic games, And crested chiefs and tissued dames Assembled at the clarion's call In some proud castle's high arched hall. Barlow Irvin ought to get into the kindly atmosphere of a truck garden where beatific cabbages and resplendent red tomatoes reflect his own incapacity for duplicity. The clever repartee of a French salon where beauty and quick wit vie with each other would furnish Jewel Barfield an ideal setting. A class of little boys and girls bubbling over with enthusiasm and mischief would afford Mary Elizabeth Carr the proper vent for her energy. Thoughtful, painstaking and considerate, Frank Brown should assume the difficult office of personal adviser to some stupid rich man. How Antonia Chapa would complete the picture if she had for her husband a bluster ing bravado in a Spanish castle. Intellectual, refined and capable of self-effacement, Abbie Lee Carter would make a good social secretary. The haunting beauty of her voice and the deep spirituality of her nature should make Juliet Caruthers seek the cloistered depths of some old world abbey. In some office where rich but densely stupid people must be told with the utmost tact that they do not fill the bill, Virgil Dowden would shine. Margaret Wimbish needs the lazy languor of long summer days in an old Creole garden to bring out her charms. Lotta Robinson in a yacht on Lake Michigan! She is the northern athletic type of girl with verve added to independence. The studious quiet of Oxford, reminiscent of past scholars is what Ernest Rechel with his gray-eyed asceticism has an affinity for. An old-fashioned garden with hollyhocks sunning themselves against red brick walls is the proper setting for Esther Watkins. Julia Clyde Wilkinson ought to go back to antebelum days when colonial mansions, hoop skirts, and archness lent beauty a subtle, charm. Elizabeth Eldridge could stand the brisk give and take of a western coed college. A breezy capability as wholesome as the ocean air invests her every action. Albert Lacoste should get a transfer back to the days of Queen Elizabeth. How he would loom up in velvet hat with gracefully curving plume, slashed sleeves and clustering laces. Imogene Pomeroy, the leonine type of blond, the born plunger, should get into the business world and take chances in the stock market. 60 Our Proper Backgrounds (Continued) Mary Louise Price lias the flavor of a girls’ boarding school about her. Whispered confidences within the romantic confines of old stone walls is the kind of action that she seems suited to. Elizabeth Scogin is a story-book girl that should creep into an old-fashioned romance, play a harpsichord, and look with wan wistfulness at the fading keepsake from her banished lover. Thelma Dodson is the wholesome capable kind that should run a day nursery and administer spankings and caresses with discriminating discernment. Hannah Myers in a kindergarten with bright-eyed alertness enjoying the budding promises of her human flower garden. That graceful lounge, that gentlemanly modulation, that indisposition to effort, all indicate what a fine specimen of the landed English gentry Jimmie Jackson would make if he only had an old English estate and the means to keep it up. Two dogs and a boy and the sunny expanse of a summer meadow are all that Betsy Hart Bates needs to bring her capacity for happiness to completion. Convent walls and austere rules would delight the soul of the perverse Majorie Mc-Ilhenny and give her affinity for mischief ample scope. Where bullets whiz and sabers clash is the only place to bring out the real spirit of Clovis Coffman. Matching quibble with quibble and fencing with politicians that resort to mumbled inuendoes Alton Luckett finds himself perfectly at home. Giving orders to twenty orderlies, Hamilton Savage manages to acquire more nervous haste than the exigency requires. Pricking some petty scientist's bubble, Raymond Rosales entertains his confreres with rare jokes on the blunderer’s stupidity. In an old-fashioned home where the solid mahogany and the solid silver proclaim the genuiness of her surroundings. Mattie Fuller elaborates with care the program for her club. With twenty of the smuggest little Sunday school girls crowding around her with affectionate devotion, Sybil Smith seems anchored to one of the outputs of our present civilization. Amidst the wild whirling beauty of an autumn day Florence Menefee dances down a woodland path. Armide Engel walking where “roses down the alley shine afar’’ makes one of the pictures we like to keep. Josephine Falbo in a dimly lighted curio store full of rare old vases pleases the artistic eye. Olga Seiser in a picture hat and gorgeously tinted gown ought to know how to use her setting. Our Proper Backgrounds (Continued) Florence Owen fencing with an English teacher, Harold Sorell wildly driving a car down a speed way. John Shaw in the library at home on a school night with school hooks piled high around him, Frances Grace Smith where drou ths of jasmine turned Their tin mid arms festooning tree to tree, And at the root thro' lush green grasses burned The red anemone,v would each find the atmosphere to bring out his most subtle charm. Ellen Rowley, beside an “iron coast with angry waves ’ Eleanor Schopfer, with a background of a “full-fed river winding slow. By herds upon an endless plain, “F. K.

OUie Yantis. the solemn quietude of a lonely seabeach, Stella Gertrude Watts, in the hum and roar of a busy city where she can get away from herself. Elizabeth Rucker with a sympathetic group of friends, who always understand, are suggested combinations with some promise. It seems appropriate at this time to warn people of backgrounds that they should never under any circumstances allow to get back of them. Jessie Church should not float down a Venetian in a gondola; Howard Bradley should not stand before the sphinx looking dreamily out into the hazy distance; Florence Armstrong should not attempt the accent of Mt. Blanc with the expectation of looking at ease there; Hattie Ruth Bender should not stand before a study hall in the capacity of teacher with baleful menace kindling her eyes; Suzanne Crawford should not assume the role of flippant scoffer in a girls’ boarding school; Kennedy Mildburn should never pass himself off as a prize fighter. 69 HUISACHE—1922 Harriet Sprague, Queen of the 1922 Class Marjorie Adams . .

The umpire announces that Brinkdale wins by a home run made by “Davy” Carson. “Davy” Carson arrives on the scene and after the excitement dies down, he finds a few minutes alone with “Frexy’s” daughter. Dot. whom he loves, and they come to an understanding. But the villain loves Dot too so he. with a local pool-room proprietor, plots to have Davy accused of framing to throw a final game, which is yet to be played, to the rival College Fairview. Plans are well under way and through various villainous means Dc Forest really succeeds in driving Davy from College in disgrace. The last scenes take place two years after the World War, in which Davy won honors, and De Forest, the villain, just before he was about to “go West” tells another Brinkdale man the truth. Tubby, the man who receives De Forest’s dying confession, writes it to his sweetheart who is a chum of Dot’s. A telegram is sent stating that he will arrive next day. bringing Davy, a hero once more, with him. Then “Prexy” proclaims a holiday in honor of their arrival and Dot begs Davy’s forgiveness for her lack of faith, and all ends happily. CAST David Carson, known as “Davy”.

A. H. S. On the very first morning that we. as Preshies, entered the portals of our Alma Mater, every one predicted that the class of June ’22, then distinguished by their ultra shiny shoes and air of bewildered anxiousness, would be a record-breaking class before they had made their thirty-two credits. Through the ensuing four years they have shown themselves worthy of these expectations, having been the grassiest Freshmen, the brassiest Sophomores, the sassiest Juniors, and the classiest Seniors. Their cooperation with and their coordination of all the activities of the school; their interest in Athletics and Dramatic. Debating and Literary societies did much to promote the splendid schotd spirit that dominates M. A. H. S. and formed a fitting foundation for the organization and unity of the June class. At the first meeting of the Junes as Seniors, Room 224 was chosen as our never-to-be-forgotten trysting-placc, and the following officers, who have piloted the class most successfully, were elected: President. Alton Luckett; Vice-President, Harriet Sprague; Secretary, Esther Watkins; Treasurer. Clovis Colfman; Sergeant-at-Arms, Jack Parker and Hamilton Savage; Reporter, Marjorie Adams; Historian, Elizabeth Rhodes. Feeling that the responsibility of such a large class would weigh too heavily on the shoulders of two sponsors, we elected three; Mr. Pfeiffer. Miss Perez and Mr. Kay, to whom we are duly grateful for getting us out of scrapes and into good times. The Junes had evidently not lost their interest in spooks, judging by the number that attended the Hallowe’en Party, the first social event on the calendar of the year. The appropriate Hallowe’en decorations, the delicious refreshments and the dance were so thoroughly enjoyed that those present eagerly planned another the first time an opportunity was presented. This was on January 13th. when the Junes presented the February class with a farewell dance tied up in blue and white ribbons and sprinkled with confetti. The dance delighted the Febs so much that they published a special smile edition of the Huisache to express their sentiments—and the Junes smiled back, of course. After February, being on the topmost rung of the ladder of High School fame, we fell heir to the Huisache, our most valuable inheritance, and elected Adolph Giesecke and Staff to keep it in order, and Mrs. Caton and Mr. Pfeiffer to keep them in order, always keeping in mind as a further recourse the privilege of appealing to our popular and efficient principal Mr. Hofstetter. or to his able and much loved assistant Miss Gutzeit 68 History of the Class of June 22 of M. A. H. S. (Continued) if the occasion demanded. From the fertile but overworked brains of the Staff has come “Spotlights'’ a truly June acquisition. Witty and to the point it is read with as much as that with which a prospective picnic party scans the inevitable scattered clouds, uncertain whether they will bring rain or make the day more delightful. The weighty problem of an Annual and the lack of pesos therefore then consulted us. and after a lenghty discussion the following Staff was elected to solve the difficulties: Editor in-Chief, Claud B. Knight; Associate Editors, Robert Creveling and Estelle Praegor; Business Manager. Richard Eckhardt; Advertising Manager, Leslie Evans; Circulation Manager. John Oliver; porting Editor, Barlow Irvin; Joke Editor, Herman Lichte. As sponsors the Staff chose Miss E. Stone and Mr. Pfeiffer, knowing that with their friendly cooperation and unquestioned etficiency the production would become per feet. The excellence of the Annual and its unqualified success proves the fitness of those chosen. The assembly for Texas Independence Day marked the first formal introduction of the Junes to the School. Filling to overflowing a section within the parking limits of blue and white streamers, the Junes created the inspiring and patriotic atmosphere suit-ab’e to the occasion by singing “The Eyes of Texas”. A very interesting and enjoyable speech was given by Dr. McLellan and the assembly was voted “the best yet”. Having decided to have a Class Night presenting the Coronation of the Queen, we held a contest in March to decide the issue. The bridge, the selected polling-place, was thronged every day of the contest and excitement ran high as the slogan was “vote early and often”. Finally the breathless Junes learned that Harriet Sprague had been elected Queen and Marjorie Adams, Princess. Next in the line of excitement and fun came the June Baby Party. Nobody realized before that Seniors could look so innocent and uncolored, but such was rather evident on that evening. The halls of M. A. H. S. were turned into a “night” nursey where one was not obliged to seek long rattles and the bells. After playing tag and other infantile and juvenile games, the members ventured to consume thier proper allowance of cogealed milk (four ounces per). Take heart, aspiring Freshies. if the Junes in one night could reverse the wheels of time twelve to sixteen years, perhaps some day you may resemble Seniors. History of the Class of June ’22 of M. A. H. S. (Continued1 The first event after our glad release from pink slips and assignments was the class play, “College Days”, given on May 11th and 12th. Not only those who made their debuts, but the scintillating stars as well, will always remember the work of rehearsals, the fun of make-up, and the first shock of the impenetrable darkness beyond the glare of the footlights. As to generating heart and spinal thrills for the audience, was without doubt a splendid triumph and a finished production. When the class voted to have the Coronation of the Queen, a new feature was introduced and a precedent established in changing the Class Day program to Class Night. This ceremony, was held on the evening of May 17th. was indeed a unique as well as a beautiful episode in the history of the school. Taking as a model the Court or r:u-Fiesta, which is composed of the Queen, Princess, Duchesses and their attendants, a moat brilliant entertainment was staged in which a rainbow of color, formed by the jewels and costumes of the participants, made a fitting background for the beautiful Queen. The Junior-Senior picnic was one of the most successful events of the year. We must admit that the '23s showed the Junes a wonderful time at Brackenridge Park on the night of May 20th. Baccalaureate Sunday, on May 21st brought near the close of the year which is at the same time a beginning. Finally, on the evening of May 25th, our class, that of June. 1922. of Main Avenue High School, received their diplomas and congratulations of their many friends for being the loveliest, handsomest, jolliest, grittiest, biggest, and “all roundest best” that ever said “Goodbye” to Old Main and reached the goal of four years striving and ambition—Commencement. —Elizabeth Rhodes, Historian. 70 ■ HUISACHE—1922 4iN« ,r r-R«rv L) BOK= 5 IRVIN riGHTlMQ CAPTAIN JUN=: BUGS 'C LAWRZNC: BOB THOrr7AS ?.

You have led me up the ladder to today, Rung by rung; and to achievement you've unbarred the way The future leaps tumultuously to hold me in its arms. Blit I must lake my memories with all their clinging charms; I've stored them up so carefully: the dear, familiar faces, And lessons unforgettable, and incidents, and places And all these things I'll take with me. I ask but one thing more: Something from your all-wise lips I’ve never heard before I hesitate before the yearning future, half afraid, And faltering. I linger for your counsel and your aid. Spirit of School Daps: Afraid! Afraid! with all the weapons that I’ve given you! The classics are your back-ground-they are solid, firm, and true: And history is your shield, with living stories blazon’d there; And for your sword you have a mind developed keen and rare. Are you afraid of night's black veil, or burning truth of day? The world is yours to conquer! 1 have nothing more to say. Senior: Oh, Spirit, it is not the darkness, nor the light I fear, Nor yet the fight with Life. I’m not a coward! Only hear— I am afraid I will not find the Beauty that I seek. Spirit, you possess the key within your bosom. Speak! Spirit of School Daps: My Child, the Beauty that you seek is very vague, I fear. Before I tell you where it’s kept, define it for me. dear. Senior: Why. Beauty’s body is a mist, wrapped in a a rainbow gown; Her hands are souls of roses that the wind has driven down; Her lone, loose hair is gossamer, bejewled with Will-o’-the Wisp; Her eyes are bits of star dust; and her voice a fairy’s lisp; And she has 1 ps as red as wine, and breathes a perfume sweet And when 1 find her, I shall worship always at her feet! Spirit of Schooldays: Nay, Beauty is a wholesome thing, and sunny as the day. She lives in apple’s ruddy glow; in lilt of laughter gay. Look! How the sky is blue with her! and hear in every song Her throbbing voice. And she is big, and free, and wide, and strong— The essence of your huge old gnarled, heavy laden tree— The melody that rises from the beating of the sea. And she makes no demand for praise, or pedestal, or throne. But gives of herself freely—gives for Beauty’s sake alone: The night’s deep robe of dusk; the dawn; the day; the evening dew; And she is glad to wander hand-in-hand thru life with you. —Elaine Glumaz Accomplishments of Junior Class During 1922 The Juniors were late in organising, but when they did organize business picked up. The first thing they did was to have a dance which was unusually successful from every standpoint. It was given in the hall of the front building which was decorated in the class colors. The real big accomplishment of the class was the choosing of their class ring. After much consultation and discussion they selected a design of unusual beauty About this time, they also chose their colors which they expect to last them all through their senior year. The class chose green and white as their permanent colors. The biggest problem met by the class, was the electing of a lluisache Staff As they were lo be the first class to be seniors for a whole year this problem was unusually difficult. A fine staff was chosen at last however, and Main can look forward for as good a lluisache next year, as we have had in many years The class fittingly topped off the term by giving the June '22 ('lass a farewell entertainment. The officers of the class for the year 1922 are as follows: .......Carlos Coon ..Katherine Roberts ....Harriet Morgan .....Chester Long Mary Irvin Dennis . .

Thomas ..Marjorie Adams Mary Louise Price .. .Fern Gallagher William Wanshaff ...Cecil Lawrence .....Grace Embry Under the able faculty advisors. Miss Smiths and Miss Miller and with the efficiency and enthusiasm of Robert Thomas the president, the Student Council for the year 1921-22 funfilled any ideals that the students or faculty might have entertained. Constant workers under the supervision of competent committees accomplished a great deal and did no end of good. The first step to be taken after the Council had organized was to elect a chief of police and a police force to curb the continual trouble that the school was having with locker prowlers. It was a difficult job, but the end worked toward was obtained as far as possible. The school of a few months was rid of a great many undesirable students by the earnest work of Cecil Lawerence, his assistance Grace Emby and the force. Up to this time the school had never had a banner to represent her at ball games or a penant to display at our functions, social or otherwise. The Council undertook the task of raising the money with which to secure these properties. It was done and the wonderful banners are now the pride of the school. When the football season was over the school wanted to reward the football boys with miniature gold footballs as tokens of appreciation for their hard work. Some students undertook to raise the necessary money but failed, so the Council took the matter up and after the funds were raised the Council put on a successful assembly at which they presented the balls. With the coming of Spring the happy Mainites got careless and failed to use the trash cans as they should have; instead the campus was strewn with papers and pie plates. A clean up campaign was necessary; so with the help of the Public Speaking classes the Council put on a drive for a better M. A. H. S. Another sign of Spring was the restlessness of students in assemblies. The Student Council took up the job of ushering so that the pupils might take their seats more quietly. It was a great success, so were all of the activities that the beneficial group of student representatives took par n. Main Avenue is proud of the excellent showing made by her representatives in the Oratorical field, against Brackenridge, in the district meet and in the State meet at Austin. The city meet took place on March the third at the Brackenridge High auditorium. Our representatives in the boys and girls declamation were Frank Baskin and Violet Schaefer Rivas, and in the boys and girls debate, Carl Evans and Clovis Coffman and Ruth Ropes and Olivia Baldesarelli. Main won the boys and girls declamation and the girls debate, and Brackenridge was awarded the decision in the boys debate. Although we did not win this last event we are proud of the fine efforts that our boys did to bring the laurels to Main. On April the fifteenth our winning team, including Ruth Ropes and Olivia Baldesarelli for the girls debate and Violet Schaefer and Frank Baskin for the girls and boys declamation went to San Marcos. In the semi-finals our debating team defeated Hays County High, and by a unanimous decision we won tlie event from the County Champions, Murrel High. Violet Schaefer made a fine showing by winning the girls declamation and although Frank Baskin made a great speech we lost in the boys declamation. By far the most sensational event came on May the fifth and sixth. 1922, when our girls debating team won the State Championship at Austin. Our team journed to the Capitol City on May the fifth to fight for Main against the best in the State. Violet Schaefer fought hard for the school and next year she will with no doubt come out at the top. Ruth and Olivia took the highest honors by winning five debates, four of which had to be settled in one day. On May the sixth, in the finals they defeated Wichita Falls, last years champions and our girls were awarded the State Championship. Both of our representatives were given medals in recognition of their efforts and Main Avenue was awarded the loving cup that our girls fought so hard for. Our girls debating team owes much of their success to the noble efforts of Miss Baskin, who overworked herself in order that Main representatives would make such a showing against all the other schools in the State. Main is proud of such an excellent showing made by our debating team which brought about the close of a most successful year in the Oratorical Contests for 1922. 92 1 Main Auenue’s Hall of Fame For the Year 1922 Girls Debate—Ruth Ropes, Olivia Baldesarelli.....................State Champions Girls Declamation—Violet Schaefer Rivas.................First place in the District Boys Declamation—Frank Baskin..........................Second place in the District Essay Contest—John Canaday....................................First in the District Music—Saul Kline........................................First Place in the State Clothing Theme—Opal Hawkins.............................First Place in the State Clothing Contest—Main Avenue High......................Second Place in the State Clothing Contest—Indiv.

With this as their fundamental principle, they have become one of the leading clubs of the school. At the first of the year and during the fall term, they had as their competent leader, Roberta Dean, who made a splendid one. During her term of office, the club, with the Jeffersonian Literary Society presented “The Prince Chap”, a play which was generally acknowledged a ‘‘grand success.” The leading characters were: Frances Coleman, who was little Claudia, the adopted child of Peyton. She took her role perfectly, putting a great deal of character and superb acting into her part which would have been surprising in an ameteur of any age. Marjorie Adams took the part of Claudia as a young lady. Marjorie put a great deal of her own sweet self in her acting, and of course made a great success of her part. Leslie Evans, who took the part of Peyton, showed the audience what real acting was. and made the play what it was by his enthusiasm. Of course the play ended well, and every one lived happily ever after. For their Christmas entertainment, the Shakespeare gave a luncheon at the Monger. December 27, 1! 2‘2. 'Phis proved a howling success, and the pretty carnations carried out the idea of Christmas colors. Everything was delicious, and the only hitch occurred when the indecision came as to how the tip was to be presented to the waiter. As per usual, the luncheon fulfilled all the highest hopes of the committee who had at its head Esther Watkins, vice-president of the club. The monthly social meetings that began with the nomination of Roberta Dean as vice-president, proved to be a great and lasting success. They were held regularly, and except for the refreshments, were just like the other meetings. Cpon the nomination of Esther Watkins, the president for the spring term. th� club held its regular meetings and progressed wonderfully under her able management. The spring open house which the club gave on April 28, 1922, instead of their annual dance, was only one of the examples of her excellent managment. The ideals of the club have been to be beneficial to the school and do always stand for the right and the best. If at any time this has failed to be the aim of the club they have tried to remedy the situation and to make amends. 05 Si - RHAROr H-VL CLAUD ft KNIGHT MflLCOLN HOLLIDAY HOWARD OOOUTrL R0B = 8r SI RAUS 0;ORO= YOUNG CAWL06 COON MISS PAKR Mm COMB5 JOHN CANADAY MARVIN I'RIC J.

We had only about a dozen really good workers left. Even about half of our corps of officers that we had chosen in May, had to he reelected. After many discouragements and much struggling, Congress again regained its feet and again followed in its old paths of glory. The first important events were tlie intercluh contests. Although the club did not actually win any contest, we so hotly contested them all that we feel that we did unusually well, eon-sidering the inexperience of all our speakers. In debate we were represented by Clovis Coffman and Carlos Coon, first team; Robert Strauss and Lester Sack on the second team; and Howard Doolittle and C. II. Altheide third team. The only time the Jeffs were defeated they hit the dust in front of the Congress first team. In the Declamation Contest we were represented by Dan Oppcnheimer who won second place in that event. We were represented in Oratory by John Canady, who made his first public oration as a Congressman. Mr. Canady also won the Essay Contest held between Main and Brackenridge. On the whole congress is proud of its last years record and is looking forward to even greater success in the years to come. WILHEMALONG WINfcTA L.ONO 3ERNAPINE.

The Club was organized for the purpose of reading and appreciating truly good drama. The plays that are read and studied each year arc a great help to the members. A few of the interesting plays that have been studied are, “The Servant in the House “Chanticleer”, ‘‘The Importance of Being Krnest”, and “The Blue Bird.” To add to the great success of the dub a number of worthwhile plays have been staged. In the competitive vaudeville, presented by the Philomathean Debating Society, Hie Dramatic Club showed its talent and won the prize of ten dollars. We have had several enjoyable social functions. Among these activities were a sunrise breakfast in Bracken ridge Park and a Hallowe’en dance. In the early spring the club entertained its out-going seniors with a luncheon at the Original Mexican Restaurant followed by a Majestic Matinee party. In spite of the fact that we have been without a sponsor, the work of the club has been carried on successfully under the leadership of its most efficient presidents, Mary Irvin Dennis and Helen Thorn. The school year for 1921-22 closed with every Dramatic feeling that it has been a most profitable and enjoyable one in every respect. 99 ADOLPH 6IESEWE VIROIL POWDEN JOHN OLIVER T.WROBERTS CHARLES JACKSON JOE ANSLEY HERMAN LICHTE ° A pY 3 PON5GR.

The customary installation banquet held at the Original Mexican Restaurant during the early fall, was a most successful affair and worth forerunner of a series of pleasing functions. On the first of December the Jeffs answered the call of the drama by uniting with the Shakespeare Club in a presentation of the “ iVince Chap”, which, as a result of the able direction of Mrs. Belcher, has been adjudged the best entertainment of its kind ever given at Main Avenue. The cleared receipts of the play amounted to one hundred and forty-four dollars and the Jeffs donated their portion for the purchasing of football blankets. An elaborate dance given by the Club at High School on December the 21st marked the climax of the preholliday festivities, and was also a suitable finale to a most noteworthy literary season. In the series of the interclub debates the able work, of their six representatives won the cup for the Jeffs. Robert Thomas and Carl Kvans, members of the first team won two out of three debates, while the second team. Leslie Evans and Ernest Howerton, and the third team, Carlos Gutzeit and Frank Baskin pursued their way undefeated. Four decisions were unanimously given 1o the Jeffs. A second cup for the year was brought into the society by Albert King, who was an efficient representative in the oratorical contest. George I’erkins won second place in the declamation contest. The spring term was started with a second banquet session which marked the inauguration of a new regime headed by Leslie Evans. Close upon its heels came an intense interest in the annual competitive vaudeville. The Jeffs answered the invitation to enter with a finished artistic number entitled “Triplets”, a rendition which displayed some of the musical talent in the organization. The interclub dance given on May the 19th and sponsored by the Jeffs was one of the most brilliant social affairs of 1922. However, a less spectacular event, tho no less enjoying one, the entertainment in honor of the graduating Jeffs, marked the close of a remarkable year for the society, a year which has brought each member closer to the spirit of Old Main, a year which has laid the foundations for further development and greater accomplishments. lO 1 L LOV'D MORRISON MALON5 OUGGf N CH=ST R LONG HAMP ffZAUMlZR 102 HUISACHE—1922 Cfhe Hayne Debating Club The Hayne Dobciting Club, the oldest club in Main Avenue, was organized in 1896. It lias sent out representatives to all the leading universities of the country. Messrs Harold Kayton. Louis Kayton, Oliver Murdock, Sidney Kaliski are graduates of the University of Chicago. Dan Stiefcl is a graduate of Johns Hopkins, Fritz Strauss of the University of Pennsylvania. Alston Duggan of Rice Institute, Seldcn Nye of Harvard, Robert Fields, who won the Rhodes Scholarship is studying at Oxford, and scores of Havnc men have gone through Texas and A. and M. In declamation and debate, this club has stood its ground. Tn 1014 Robert Fields won out in declamation in the state, and 1917, Henry Herndon gained a like victory. In 1914 Gilbert Lang and Henry Lee Taylor won second place in debate in the state and in 191b Frank Sparks and a member of another club attained similar rank in the state. In 1917-18 Henry S. Kelly. Everett S. .Jones. II. B. .Jameson, Ray Maeauley, ('has. Crowe, and Harvey McDonald were champions in the Interclub Debates of Main Avenue. In 1919 (’has. Crowe and .James Graves represented Main Avenue in Debate, while Oscar McCracken met his opponent in declamation in the contest with Bracken ridge. In the professional world, this club is well represented by its alumnae. Edward Burg and Sidney Kaliski are physicians in this city; while Dan Stiefcl practices medicine in Baltimore. Pat Swearingen, Fred Goeth, Leroy Denman, Sylvan Lang. Win. Church, and Henry Lee Taylor arc wellknown lawyers of San Antonio. Joseph Groff is a celebrated violinist in Cincinnati. Roy Orr is chief engineer in the Rice Hotel in Houston. Geo. Henyan is a civil and electrical engineer in Schenectady, N. V. He was at the front sixteen months as a first lieutenant in the Radio Service. Oscar Abbott was a Captain during the war and is still in the regular army in Arizona. Marcus Goodrich is a naval oficer. Aides Cadwallader is a newspaper man. Fred Chabot has been in the consular service for some time, representing our government in Athens, Paris, Rio de Janeiro and at his present post in San Salvador. Business has claimed a goodly number of the Hayne members. Paul Deutz is a salesman for the Krueger Machinery Co., Hugo Elmendorff has mining interest in El Paso, Werner Beckman is connected with the Guenther Milling Co., Hull Youngblood is third vice-president of the Southern Structural Steel Co. Erwin Lange has interest in the Lange Soap Factory. But this club lias not been able to carry on its work twenty-six years without yielding up its toll to the grim Reaper. Andrew O'Malley, who was still in high school. Richard Swearingen and Joe Sparks, who were college men. Sidney Brooks, the flyer for whom Brooks Field is named, and Cresslie Morris and Alston Duggan, who were in the business world, have all answered to that final call. And the club is sobered into serious senec of its responsibility to the memories of such promising young men. It realizes its duty to carry on what these high minded citizens would have accomplished. 0 9 R.UTH NIUER. 6E0R6IE LOONE 9. wMNCKLER B. jutKSON KATHERINE WRIO ELIZABETH ELRlK GRACIfc COCKE. PRE.

The year 1922 will go down as a red letter year on the Phil calendar—one of the most successful in the Club’s history. There is so much to tell that it would take twenty printing presses, working night and day for seven days, to print it all, but there are three things that are especially note-worthy of mention. The first is the Christmas dance which was given in honor of our Feb graduates. Never has there been such a dance and never again will there be another such dance. Long will the corridors of Old Main Avenue ring with the echoes of that night. Under the able guidance of Ruth Ropes and Gracic Cocke, as presidents for 1922, we have had a year of prosperity unequalled in the annals of the Philomathean Debating Club!

The biggest thing the club did this year was to have the City Commission pass an ordinance forbidding the sale of obscene literature in San Antonio. The Club has done many other good things to help the school. Through it many men were brought to San Antonio and to Main Avenue to address the students. At the same time the organization managed to have good times quite often. It gave several very enjoyable socials during the year; foremost among them the “Best girl entertainment” given at Bracken ridge Park. This club is as yet young in San Antonio, but next year it plans to undertake things that San Antonio will be proud of. The officers of the Main Ave Ili-Y Club are as follows: ’resident . . ..

After a short but brilliant career we retired for a time from the drama, but re-organized and stepped into the limelight again two years ago. Since 1920 we have taken an active part in the affairs of the School. The Mark Twain Club is a literary organization. Our members meet every Wednesday in Room 122. Every other week a program is given by various members of the Club. This program usually consists of short talks on the lives or works of famous men in literature. Once a month a social meeting is held in the cafeteria, then the fun predominates. During the past year several enjoyable social functions wen given. The Christmas dance was particularly a success. The hall was decorated in the club colors, black and yellow, and this color scheme was also carried out in the very clever programs. Punch was served throughout the evening, and the St. Cecilia Syncopaters made merry music worthy of their name. In February the Club gave a Bunco Party in honor of Dottie Richter, our retiring president, and our other Feb graduate, Sarah Schuman. More then the usual merriment prevailed. A silver bud vase, engraved with letters M. T. C. was presented to each honor guest as a token of the club’s good wishes. The present officers of the club are as follows: President..............Ruth Elizabeth Ilerbst Vice-President............Florence Campbell Secretary.....................Nessye Levinson Treasurer.............................Sherwood Heard Reporter.............................Elizabeth Havlik too Uocational Auto Repair At Main Auenue In the year of 1!)l(i the Vocational Auto Repair Shop was firsl established at Main Avenue High School. At lirsl the Shop was not very successful, due to lack of time and funds. The average time spend each day in the shop by a student was forty-five minutes. In this year the Shop was supported entirely by local funds. I On February 23, 1!U7. the Smith-Hughes Act. providing for Federal aid in Vocational Training, received the signature of President Woodrow Wilson and became a law. San Antonio's share of the Federal aid available under this act put the Vocational Department of this school on its feet. Mr. ('. W. Peavey, the present Shop Instructor, began his instruction at Main Avenue High School in the Spring of 1919, after his discharge from the Army, in which he served as foreman of the Motor Room at the Government Repair Shops at Fort Sam Houston. In the year of 1919-1920 the need of more time and individual instruction was realized, and two more periods were added to the day’s program, this bringing in two more subjects in the automobile line. This addition brought the total number of periods per day to ten, and the number of subjects to five. The subject of Trade Knowledge was added in 1921-1922; this subject is the study of the technical side of the automobile business. The information given in this subject is not printed in text-books; so it is the most practical technical subject taught in the course. Three periods of the day are devoted to the related Mathematics and Mechanical Drawing classes. Any Drawing or Mathematics problems which are needed in the shop are worked out in these classes. This part of the course is taught by Mr. W. G. Scarborough. One period of time is given to regular Academic English, with which everyone is familiar. If the Auto Shop advances as rapidly in the future as it has in the immediate past, we may safely predict that the faculty and the student body of Main Avenue High School may point with pride to the Auto Shop as the finest shop of its kind in the State, and one of the best in the South. i 10 Burke, Reichert, Harrel, Anz, Belmnres.

Much credit goes to Coach Clark for the wonderful showing made by the eleven. It is one thing to have football material and another to wield it into a powerful team, and this is what Spitz” did. Taking a bunch of better than the average players, lie eliminated all individuality and presented a squad that for teamwork and machine like precision was unsurpassed by any in the State. “Eleven men and every one of them a star”—this is what Clark turned out for Main in his first year here as Coach and to him is due a vote of thanks from the whole school for his untiring efforts. An indication of what could be expected from M; n as given at the season’s opener when the team crushed the strong Prison Guard A to 6. The following week Main increased its reputation by overwhelming the Runge All-Stars by the one-sided score of 60 to 0. Y hTe a victory was expected, it was indeed a surprise to everybody to see the v ihe Main athletes ran wild over a team of ex-college men and former Acad mic Lague players, the majority of whom were well-known for their football ability. Then came the final proof of the championship team Main had in the field. The Texas University Shorthorns, almost invincible, bowed to Main’s prowess. 6 to 0, while thousands of unbelieving rooters gazed spell-bound in amazement and delight. A scoreless tie was the best thing looked for by the most optimistic, but to actually defeat the powerful University stars was an unexpected occurence and it set the hopes for State Championship high. A week later Main continued on her winning streak. Iverrville went down before her terrible attack, 56 to 0, tho’ fighting gamely from start to finish. Then came Ihe blot on an otherwise glorious season. Bubbling over with confidence, Main met Austin High (which team had been defeated by Bracken- l i e Reuieu; of 1921 Footbdll Season (Continued I ridge 3 to 0) and went down to their fii-sl and only defeat of the season in some unaccountable way. It was a bitter pill to swallow, for Austin played a strictly defensive game almost throughout, hut her forward passing brought on Main’s downfall. It mattered not that we outplayed Austin in straight football—each time the Austin goal was endangered, the needed punch was lacking, and the final whistle found Austin victor by a 13 to tt score. Then came the annual classic with Brackenrdige on Armistice Day. Favored by dope, even with the defeat by Austin to mar our record, Main battled the South Siders thru’ 3 and V- quarters, only to have the game called with ten minutes of play left with the score tied at 7 all. A crowd of 8,000 people, the largest gathering that ever attended a football game in the city, overflowed the field, disregarding orders to keep back, and caused the officials to call the game before completion, mu' to the disappointment of all. For the first three quarters Main completely outplayed Braekenridge, as was expected, hut in the final quarter Braekenridge took a brace and the termination of the game found the hall in their possession ,ur 30 yards line. However, the game was awarded to Main because of the ineligibility of several Braekenridge players, and another victory was chalked up to our record, and to Rathbun belongs the honor of being the first Main player to cross Braekenridge goal line. To again demonstrate our superiority to Austin. Main vanquished the powerful Georgetown eleven the following week hv a 14 to 0 score, being the first team to cross their goal line during the season. Previously, Austin 1,1 to a scoreless tie by this same team, so it was with much satisfaction that this new scalp was added. Next came the Llano game, and Main was returned the victor over the powerful Mountaineer eleven, by the same score that defeated Gorgetown. Entering the last la]) of an extremely successful season Main grasped the title of city champions by conquering West Texas 20 to (i before a large gathering. 13335368 MAIN -BR ACKCfVHIPGE GAME — — FIVE VATJD GAIN ---- ■'—u-—EBESB—■ -� ■ « «£ ' , IS PHILLIPS CARRIES the BALL- OL en.

Having lost all of last year’s star team save one, the problem was to develop an entirely new team and with limited material. Coach Wendland worked hard to put out a winning team. The season opened with Main playing San Antonio Academy and the prospects seemed extremely bright when we overwhelmed them 32 to 11. Pfeiffer, Phillips and Schaezler were the outstanding stars of the game and were the big factors in the scoring. Then came the Brackenridge series, the first a close hard fought game ended 17 to 15 in Brackenridge’s favor. The remaining games were lost by larger scores. West Texas and St. Anthony added to our woes by administrating further defeats. In the final of the season Main regained her fighting spirit and downed West Texas by the score of 35 to 18. Despite the fact that the team was losing, much credit is due the faithful few who in the face of handicaps and lack of support fought so consistently to keep Main’s colors from going down without a hard fight. 1 A 1 Top How—Donaldson, Rathbun, Trabueo, Davis, Olivarri, (’lure, Cordova. Center—Beaumier, Baskin, Ketchum, Roberts, Luekett, Houghton, Knight, Rosales. Button How—Dollinger, Gunn. Pfeiffer, Dulnig, Rodriguez, Smith, Creveling. 122 Track Team The 1922 track team again put Main in the lead in that sport. With no one to eoaeh them and only the determination of a few loyal last year men, who worked hard and incessantly to beat Brackenridgc, they had their hearts’ desire fulfilled. For in the dual meet with that school Main led by a score of 58 to 49. Main taking seven first places, Gunn first in the 100 and 220 yard dashes, Trabuceo, the shot-put, Davis first in the two hurdles, Pfeiffer the half-mile run and Main won the relay. Then at San Marcos, at the district meet we again defeated Brackenridgc 39 to 38, taking first in the dashes by Gunn, the two hurdles by Davis, the mile by Dullnig, and the relay. To finish the task so well begun, at the Rotary meet at San Pedro Park on Saturday, April 29, we won by the score of 02 to 57. In this meet we won eight fast places, also the silver loving cup for Ihc winner of the relay, and a gold medal to Hubert Davis, the high point man of the meet. Individual winners of this meet were Gunn, the dashes, Davis, the two hurdles, Pfeiffer, the broad jump, Dullnig, the mile and half mile. Rathburn, the shot-put, and our relay team, Gunn, Davis. Rathburn, and Pfeiffer, won the mile relay. Indeed we are proud of our track team, and let us hope that the good work so well begun will never be an incentive to continue with greater effort this line of sport.

The team bid fair to be a pennant one in the early stages; but one by one, certain players on whom we depended on to make a championship team went away until there was not much star material left. Thanks to several steady workers, the team showed Main’sold fighting spirit throughout the season. For a made over infield, we had a dandy one. When Philips left, it was necessary to shift West to short-stop. Irvin was placed on first base and held that position down competently all season. James on second, waxed better and better as the season grew older, until he was managing his job in big-league style. May was regular administrator on the hot corner although once or twice, in the absence of West, he took on the duties of short-stop. In these cases, Evans was placed on third and he covered it fairly well. Both Evans and May should be credited with consistent work in order to help mould as good an infield as we had. The outfield was of the grab-em-all variety. With Dunsmore in left, Gunn and Coffman in center and Fletcher in right, the team was assured an outfield that was one of the strongest points which Main possessed. And we now come to review the batteries. There was certainly nothing wrong with Main’s regular combination of Anderlich and Driver. “Lefty” 1 26 Driven GOFORTH ANDERJLITCW MONKY'FIHTCHEII CATCHER PITCHER PITCHER RIGHT FIELD 127 The 1922 baseball Season (Continued) Goforth (lid start out once or twice hut each time was hammered too hard. Andcrlich really did wonderfully on the mound, speaking always in the true sense of the word. His pitching was always steady and up to a standard, and he was specially good in refusing to be rattled. As a backstop. Driver measured up. in many respects, to what McCoy was in his Main Avenue days. Steady thinking and hard, determined execution characterized this little genius, behind the bat. Ketchum, Thompson, Goforth and Coffman formed the substitute ranks, and it is no exaggeration to say that when called on, they did, comparatively, as well as the regulars. Main had a good hitting team and with a bit more of fielding skill, she would have taken the cake. Of the hitters, Dunsmore ranked first because of his steady, regular, consistent stickwork. Johnny was a man who could be relied on to hit when hits were needed. The heaviest batting was done by Anderlich and Irvin. Although we did not win the pennant we developed some wonderful material that will be of great service next year. The school nine fought hard through the season and even if our showing was not as good as in previous years Main High is proud of the 1922 Baseball Team. 1-2H 1 29 130 Use these pages for Autographs, Snapshots, Clippings, etc. Use these pages for A utographs, Snapshots, Clippings, etc. Use these pages for A utographs, Snapshots, Clippings, etc. Use these pages for A utographs, Snapshots, Clippings, etc. Use these pages for Autographs, Snapshots, Clippings, etc. Use these pages for A utographs, Snapshots, Clippings, etc. X t 137 SERVICE ENGRAVING COMPANY ILLUSTRATORS - ORIGINATORS - DESIGNERS PRINTING PLATES IN ONE OR MORE COLORS 119 AVENUE C — SAN ANTONIO ALL PHOTOS HERE MADE BY 'Che Hlournoy @tudio wc especially invite all of you, to make our Studio your Headquarters for anything ‘Photographic THE 203 ALAMO PLAZA FLOURNOY STUDIO SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS Nell: Jack, dear, did you call on papa today?
