Text from Pages 1 - 200 of the 1924 volume:

■ El Sombrero 1924 ouvijossy ssa nOQHJ oTy SVX'jll o z 61 ■popvnot FOREWORD (pfTVEMORIES are too often vague, III futile, gropings after some-J thing no longer tangible; what we remember after years have passed is too often not the thing it was when it happened. It has been the intention, in compiling “El Sombrero” for 1924, to present an accurate, entertaining, and everlasting record of student life, customs, and events of the year in such a way that each will be perfect in itself and that, taken as a whole, they may combine to reflect the spirit and the personality of Main Avenue High School. If personal recollections tinge the accounts contained in this book, as they surely will, it will be possible for the reader to experience all the interests, the emotions, and the friendships of the outstanding year in a most important and wellloved period of life. DEDICA TION (j 0 that spirit of justice and understanding, to that intense love of Main Avenue High School and ceaseless endeavor to befiefit it, and to that reverent service to the great ideal of service — to these things, as exemplified in Fred Hofstetter, is this volur dedicated. ■ ALMA MATER Alma Mdfcr HERE is a definite personality that will forever hover around that group of three buildings which is Main Avenue High School. There are characteristics and lovable peculiarities to every square foot of them that will never be forgotten. The nucleus- the second building! The old board steps, worn with the tramp from class to class into little hollows, are reeking with memories. Even the pools of water that had to be crossed on a long plank during wet weather can be remembered with pleasure now that our feet are nice and dry. In that building are the study halls and the library remember? Close to it, and connected by the memorable bridge from which you threw apple-cores at the janitor or under which you read the bulletin boards of the clubs, you will remember the first building. Beautiful and imposing, it has more memories of socials than classes. The big front hall with its checkerboard stone floor still wears the scratches made when you danced on it. Branching off it are the office with its “mourners bench”, the roomy auditorium where you have laughed, intently listened, or yawned, and the Museum, palace of freaks. Upstairs is that eternal sanctum and sanctuary -Mother Eleven i limrMciter — Continued Clark’s rest room. Hanging between the two floors like Mohammed's coffin, is the book room, on the stair landing. Then, in the basement. there is the much abused but patiently efficient cafeteria. Whenever, in the future, you hear a buzz like that of a Brobdignagdian bumblebee, you will think of the buzz-saw in the third building. The manual training rooms, the chemistry rooms, and the physics room stand out, with the other class rooms a pale memory on the outer edge. The front yard—usually dignified by the name campus” but such a homey place that we can’t call it that in remembering it—has seen more friendships made, broken, cemented, and forgotten than any other place in the world. Anyone who forgets it, with the huge trees and the green grass flecked by the wriggling spots of sunshine filtering through the leaves, will be a sufferer from aphasia, nothing less. Those wonderful steps leading up from it were always crowded at noon, the various “Cliques bunching together and talking, giggling, scrapping. When you remember all this, you find yourself wishing you had never graduated, don’t you? Twelve To Main Graduates How beautiful a thing is youth; and how wonderful in its possibilities for stout courage and enthusiastic resolve! How beautiful a thing is the joyous freshness of the high school student! and how wonderful his dreams of empire and his impulsive daring! How beautiful a thing is the God like striving of the young boy and the young girl; and how wonderful their possible discoveries of world magic and their myriad opportunities to go “over the top!” One thing America believes; that only through education can the people rise to greatness and to the possession of virtue. The men who founded the Republic; and the men who made it secure; and the men who lead it forward to new discoveries of truth and goodness were brave men; were consecrated men; were educated men. My dear friends, study to understand nature, seek after truth, strive to be near companion to wisdom,—remembering always that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and to depart from evil is understanding.” v fri«nri Thirteen Once upon a lime a young man desired to become a surgeon. He went to one of the leaders of the medical world and made known his request. The great surgeon said to him, Young man, go home and develop your abilities. To do this you must learn all manner of things. When you have done this bidding you will be thrown into the world of big things. You will meet big men. You will meet the successes of these big men who have accomplished big things. If you aspire to join their company and if you desire to achieve success you must be able to speak their language. No matter what your occupation in the after graduation days may be you will continually draw upon your reserve. The stock must ever be replenished. The language of the successful must ever be at your command. You must be well informed. Just mere preparation, a meagre fulfillment of graduation requirements is not enough to keep yourself in the front of the procession. You must continually keep up your education. If you fail to keep up your ability to speak the language of the successful men and women you will rapidly settle down to become a mere cog in a machine. If you aspire to be Somebody , not just Anybody , you must keep eternally and continually at the acquisition of all those things which will make you sought after instead of shunned. The only millstones which can hinder you from this broadening process are procrastination. laziness, weakness and dissipation. So I would bid you students who are graduating from Main High this year to strive and keep everlastingly at it until you have attained your plac? among those who deserve recognition. Yours faithfully. Fourteen Dear Boys and Girls: As you go out from Main to take your various places as citizens of the community I send with you my best wishes for success: my earnest hope that you will continue to display (here the same traits of leadership you have shown here. Your tine sense of proportion, your keen understanding of what is fit, your intelligent interpretation of harmonious group life, your courageous shouldering of big and difficult tasks, your respectful deference to authority, and your unswerving loyalty to what is right have distinguished you as a class excelled by none that has been graduated from Main. Go, then, use your power and your influence as good citizens, play the game of life as you have played it at Main, honest and fair. Affectionately yours.

Sixty-nine Class Poem As Columbus left old Palos, In fourteen ninety-two; As he left the sheltered homeland For an unknown ocean blue. So do we who in the harbor Of Main High our ship have docked, Feel departing all our safety, As we’re by life’s tempests rocked. We were fortunate indeed, lads, When we found this shelter near, As we’ve had four years seclusion From the storm and sharp reef’s fear. While the mighty surging ocean Beat on with incessant strife. Here we rested all securely. Without care or thought of life. Ah! but now the time is ended: We must leave this harbor clear; Each liis ship of life must pilot Through the waters year by year. In the sea that’s now between us And the land that is our goal, There is many a phantom island Where the pilot pays his toll. Though the way is long and weary; Though there’s death on every hand, Keep your eyes on chart and compass; Sail on! You will reach that land. Many an isle of fair delusion, Circe’s palace ’mid the trees, With its beauty calls the sailor, Weary tossed upon the seas. But it is not all who listen To the Siren’s flowing song; Yes. a few there are whom sailing. Pass that isle with purpose strong. It is they whom History praises; It is they who Time upholds; It was they who made this nation With Its flag and starry folds. Is it not an inspiration To us who are setting sail? Does it not this generation Urge to weather every gale? Like great men who’ve gone before us. He who gains that envied shore. Looking back may see behind him, At his feet, the world and more. — Hal Long ( 'lass Prophecy (Extracts from various Newspapers in 1950) TOWN TATTLE Will Katherine Carney marry Bruce Borchers?

ELIS TRIM MORVICH IN HENLEY GRID TILT In an all-star game including the best athletes from the nation, the Ruth Gorman Correspondence School overwhelmingly deleated the Lloyd Edwards Theological Seminary by a score of 17-0. The seminary won the toss, and Armine Jones led with a beautiful right-hook to the shoulder. Richard Johnson dubbed his drive, but Infelico Kimball recovered the pigskin and ran down the field for a gain of five yards. Time, 2:30. Robert Maxwell punted for Gorman, but misjudged his distance and landed in the sand trap with Frank Mabry. Robert McEnery missed a flying tackle by inches, and Jane Kiehl’s ball hit the net, ending the set. By this time Joe Kincaid was staggering on the ropes, but Viola McCabe drove a sizzling back.hand to the back line, catching Russell Kirkland on third base. Over the line sped Wineta Long, just as the whistle sounded the end of the quarter. Maurine Lorance swung with a vicious left hook for the jaw, but Thomas Jones made a short approach with the mashie and Referee Dolores Lozano decided to walk Elodis McClellan. Then, just when all seemed lost, the boat of Rowena Johnson shot past the buoy, and the entire gridiron burst into applause. But she sliced a drive, and Catherine Patrick bent over the handle bar and pedaled like mad, for a ten-yard loss. Ruth Potchernick tried the overhand stroke, but was helpless against Gladstone Swain’s forward pass. Game called on account of rain. SOCIETY NOTES Lake Stagnant, N.

Stone, Miss O’Hughes Witnesses. Seventy-seven Seventy-eight History of the June ’24 Class Q N the fall of 1920, the curtain arose and a group of brilliant green freshies J was launched on its high school career. But as is the case with many a bright color, the brilliant green faded in the distance after two years, and merged into a combination of orange and white, under which colors the June '24 Class was organized in the fall of 1922 with John E. Canaday as president. As Juniors, the '24’s began “to let off steam” and were widely celebrated for their excess of pep. Fewr Mainites will forget the scandal reports posted on the Junior bulletin board; and memories of “Oscar,” the ill fated mascot, still linger in many a mind. The '24’s themselves recall with pleasure the Hallowe’en Bunco Party, the Christmas Dance, the Bowery Party, and the Junior-Senior Prom. To cap the climax, a play, “Let’s Get Married,” was successfully presented w'hich was, perhaps, the first time that any Junior Class had attempted to put over a thing of this sort. The fall of 1923 opened with the election of the following officers: President ...............................Albert Hartman Vice-President .............................. Dody Jones Secretary ................................. Eloise Rose Treasurer............................John W. Canaday Sergeants-at-arms.......Imogene Tinsley, Tom Johnston Parliamentarian ........................Gladstone Swain Cheer Leader..................................... Alfred Schmidt Poet ........................................ Hal Long Prophet .............................John E. Canaday Testator .............................. Gladstone Swain Historian......................Harriett Elane Robertson Then the real work and some real play began. As for work— The Huisache Staff, headed by John E. Canaday and Dorothy Brenner, burned the midnight oil and then wralked away with the state honors for high school newspapers. Soon after the Christmas Vacation, the Annual Staff w’as elected and began its w’ork on “El Sombrero.” The program for the Thanksgiving Assembly was planned and managed by a committee from the Class of '24; and the drive for the Museum w'as made successful, in part, by the efforts of the seniors. During February the operetta. “All At Sea” was selected and wrork wras begun on it. A lovely float, in red and white, the class colors, representing the ship from “All At Sea” was entered in the Battle of Flowers Parade. Finally on May — and — the play was put on. and met with great success. As for the play— The first social event of th senior year wras the big Christmas Dance held on December twenty-second at the Woman’s Club. “Light, laughter, and music” were the outstanding features of that memorable occasion. Next came the Valentine Luncheon held in the cafeteria; a great assemblage of Junes wras in evidence, and everyone enjoyed himself to the limit! Then Graduation Week began with Baccalaureate Sermon preached by Dr. McClellan in the Auditorium on May twenty-fifth. Class Day on the twenty-seventh of May w’as a glorious success with its assembly, luncheon in the cafeteria, and ceremonies at night; as well as the Class Banquet held on the following evening. Then the climax of a high school career—Graduation—on the night of May twenty-ninth at the Majestic Theater! The Junior-Senior Prom on the following night was a lovely affair, thanks to the ’25’s; and with the never-to-be-forgotten Senior Dance on the last day of May, “thus the tale ended.” Eighty � Directors Frederick Abbott, Margarita Perez, Myrtle Inches, and Frances Smith. 7j-THE June 1924 Play, “All At Sea.” was staged at Main Avenue High School on May 19 and 20. The play with its many musical hits from the operas “Pinafore,” “Pirates of Penzance,” “Patience,” “Iolantlie,” and “Mikado,” combined with the artistic staging effects was one of the most picturesque plays ever presented by Main Avenue students. The plot deals with the many exciting adventures that take place after the good ship Pinafore has set out on an expedition to capture the pirates of Penzance. Through the hospitality of Captain Corcoran and his daughter, Josephine, a large party of guests are on board, including many important personages. During the night the pirates attack the ship and succeed in capturing it. The Pirate King, however, proves to be of a reasonable disposition and suggests a matrimonial alliance between his pirate band and such eligible young ladies as happen to be present. However, a great number of complicated circumstances arise which call for such assistance that not even Koko. the Lord High Executioner, has wit enough to solve. Despair seems to be rampant until the captain suddenly remembers the Fairy Queen who solves the whole difficulty in a perfectly reasonable manner to the satisfaction of everybody, including the pirates, and all is well.

Jimmie Dick Ansley Mary Nell Hadden Ruth Howell Alberta Scott SPONSOR HK June Class of 1925, designated as Main’s Sk best Junior class, was organized in the early part of 1923. The class at present, we may say, is one of the snappiest, liveliest organizations that Main Starting with true spirit and enthusiasm the class election was held, Jimmie Dick Ansley being elected to lead the class through the year to success. True Junior ability has been shown in several important enterprises in such a manner that the class has acquired the reputation of being “up and doing as a class.” By far the most important undertaking of this group was the editing of one of the issues of the Huisache. The issue was published by a temporary staff of Junior members. The undertaking proved a huge success, thus showing that the Junior class possesses enough ability to get the paper through to the first place at Belton in the coming year. Not only in the literary line has the class shown striking ability, but also in many social affairs. The outstanding function was a Christmas Banquet held at the Original Mexican Restaurant. Already the class has its pins, rings, and stationery; in short, it has fitted itself for “seniordom.” The Junior class expects to enter into the work of seniors next year and carry out the good work of the class of ’21. In fact, it plans to build a better and higher standard for seniors. claims. Eighty-five Eighty-six June Class oF ! )!£( Vi UK business and social spirit of the class of '26 could not be VJV repressed for a very long time; hardly had school begun, before careful plans were being made by everyone for the following term. The class took great pride in having been organized at a very early date. Under the leadership of George Wimberly, the class made a decided advance along many lines this year. After the work of organization was completed to the approval of all, a membership drive was planned. The class was divided into two sections, and the section which was victorious received as a reward for its efforts, a party given by the losers. This affair ended with everyone hoping that the c'ass would soon prepare another social event. The drive, which lasted for two weeks, proved to be quite a success; for not only were the members doubled in number, but the enthusiasm of each and everyone was aroused to the highest pitch. During the next month or so. the attention of the members was taken up entirely with business duties and affairs. Although they were unable to do as much as their ambition called for, they did not miss the mark a great deal. In the middle of January, the great event happened. This was a large banquet given at the Original Mexican Restaurant. The table was decorated with little red hatchets, miniature cherry trees, and festoons of red, white, and blue carrying the idea of Washington’s birthday. This made the dining place a pleasing setting for the gay Bophs. .Miss Bennett acted as sponsor for the banquet, but. before all the toasts and such were finished, she was gladly welcomed to direct them in their work for their remaining part of the year. They then proceeded to spend the rest of the time in a theatre. When I he show ended, everyone regretfully left, and one of the most enjoyable social events of the year had become a happy memory. This marked the end of the activities of the winter season. There were no more social events but every member is looking forward to the gay times in the coining year. In all. who can say justly that affairs were not managed well by the class of ’26 ? oRtws vgitP rawness T uy oefjes pe rH om -V sSTKotiti- KtJQClCiM I.WINC- STfkUHoo ONtS LlVfNG-COUPLf VMHO ae o Twt HVHS VCH t SCHOOL YEAR '21 1IALL OF FAME Queen .....................

One Hundred Two Tarm Avenue HigH S'efiool r A FTER the omission of their annual Shakesperian presentation during the [jk year 1023, the Shakespeare Club doubled its efforts to make the 1924 production, “The Taming of the Shrew,” twice as good as the average. With lavish settings and a well-trained cast, the classic comedy succeeded in the school auditorium February 8. Ruth Burgin and Tom Johnson gave outstanding performances as Katherine the shrew and Petruchio. the tamer. The other members of the cast were: Baptista, father of Katherine, Ludwig Montague; Music Master, Ferdinand Herman; Tailor, Martha Pancoast; Biondello. Catherine Johnson; Curtus, Ruth Gorman: Grumio, James Hill; Pedro, Catherine Harding; Adam, Beatrice Masterson; Ralph, Catherine Searcy; Gregory, Anina Bond; Cook, Doris Wofford; Wedding Guests, Lorena Carroll, Olive Clarkson, Katherine Huntress, Dorothy Steele, Mary Blair, Anne (.leaves. Thrace Rogers, Martha Maggard, Nancy Glass, Blanche Bell, and Rovvena Johnston. Miss Marjorie Will coached the play and Miss Brunet, club sponsor, was responsible for much of the artistic decoration. Money from the play came near the hundred dollar mark. With it a set of Shakespeare’s works and a case to hold them were presented to the library and a picture given the school. The club counts “The Taming of the Shrew its supreme effort for the year. One Hundred Three LOS PASTORES” T TEARS of research into dead centuries and ancient customs, translations Ufrom ancient Spanish scripts, modern college training, and the industry of a group of people interested in the welfare of Main resulted in the presentation, on December 13 and 14, 1923, of the second annual play of the Nativity, ‘‘Los Pastores.” Mrs. E. Carvajal instigated the movement and worked with the Spanish and Music departments of the school to bring the production to perfection. Nearly three hundred students took part in the production. This included large choruses and ballet dancing. The color effects were the most beautiful that have yet been achieved on the Main Avenue stage. Leading roles were: Parrado. Ludwell Montague; Tebano, Robert Mc- Henry; Tubs, Edmund Querrequ; Cucherau, Ross Carr; Gila, Bedelia Mulkern; Men go, John Ridley; Naval, Terry Harper; Bartolo, Jaek Cherry; Hermit, Ferdinand Herman; Joseph, Evert Eguert; Madonna, Anne Beth Price; Michael, Edwards Fontaine; Lucifer, Tom Johnson; Voice, John Douglas; Angel, Rowena Johnson. Frederick Abbott, Ella Stone, and Marguerite Perez were dramatic directors; Myrtle Inches trained the musicians and singers; electrical effects were by Arthus Perez. Profit from the production was nearly five hundred dollars, and was given to the Main Avenue Museum Fund. One Hundred Four PIIIL VAUDEVILLE CA NOTIIER Phil Vaudeville, the sixth annual event of its kind, was presented il at Main on Leap Year Day, February 29, 1924. Different organizations of the school presented individual acts under the supervision of the Philoma-thcan Club, and competed for first prize of $15.00 offered by the club. “That Old Gang of Mine,” the Jeffersonian offering, won first place. It was a musical number featuring the Jeffersonian Jazz Orchestra, “That Old Gang of Mine” sung by John B. Hearne, and “Marcheta,” a violin solo by Theodore Sehirmacher. The seven other acts gave close competition to the winners. They were: “Paint,” a Tom Sawyer sketch by the Congress Debating Society; “Enter, Juliet,” a travesty by the Dramatic Club; “Six Cups of Chocolate”, a playlet by the Mark Twain Club; “Your Wandering Boy is Here tonight,” a burlesque on the movie game and winner of second place, by the Hayne Debating Club; “The Brass Kettle,” a cabaret scene staged by the Shakespeare Club; “A Couple of Lunatics,” a playlet, by the William Vaughn Moody Club; and “The Burglar,” a playlet, by the Girl Reserve Club. Proceeds from the performance were held in the club treasury since the Philomathean Urns, bought with the proceeds from the 1923 Vaudeville, had just been presented. One Hundred Five 1924 El Sombrero '■� V a t . v H PUBLIC SPEAKING DEBATE, DECLAMATION AND EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEAKING RACKENRIDGE won a complete victory over Main in debate and declamation March 7th when the judges decided in favor of the Brackenridge speakers in all four events. Victory came to these speakers as a result of their pure excellence and not because of any inferiority on the part of Main’s representatives. Months of work and hard drilling under the coaching of Mr. T. A. Abbott and Mr. Julian Thomas found the debaters and declaimers excellently prepared, even though resulting in such a heart-hreaking defeat. Robert Stiaus and Albert Hartman composed the boys debating team, and Imogene Tinsley and H?len Guger.heim, the girls. Both teams upheld the affirmative side of the question “Resolved, that the I’nited States should enter the League of Nations.” Tom Johnson and Evelyn Jackson were the declaimers for Main. Neither had ever declaimed before, although the Brackenridge representatives had both had experience in inter scholastic contests. Main students supported both debaters and declaimers in the contests, the audience being composed of much more than half Main students in spite of the fact that the Brackenridge auditorium was the scene of the fights. Theodosia Jones won the right to have her name engraved on the E. Y. White extemporaneous speaking cup this year when she won out over a large number of speakers. The closest contender was Herman Pollock. Miss Jones is the first girl to have her name engraved on this trophy. MUSIC CONTEST t!ie third successive time Main won the music contest this year when Theodore Schirmach t won a unanimous decision of the judges at Belton this spring. Theodore i- an excellent violinist and the news that he had won the contest did not come as a surprise to most Main students. Although this is Teddy’s first year at Main, he will leave a host of friends won by his pleasing personality as well as the many solos he played at the assemblies throughout the year. At the contest he was accompanied on the piano by Miss Myrtle Inches, head of the music in Main. MOTHER CLARK CmitS. Elizabeth M. Clark, known to the student body of Main Avenue High Jli School as Mother Claik, is one of the most outstanding members of the faculty. She came to our school in October, 1!(14, and since that time she has given most efficient service. At all hours during the day students requiring medical attention are free to call on Mother Clark and arc sure to find a most helpful remedy for all their ailments. Mother Clark also runs a Lost and Pound Bureau, Co-op Store, Information Bureau and a “General Kindness Parlor.” The Senior Class takes this opportunity to thank Mother Clark for all she has done as an advisor and first aid during their high school career and they hope she will be spared to Main Avenue for many years to be a comfort to the future boys and girls of this school.

This collection is the result of the untiring efforts of Mr. Attwater, who has spent years of patient labor in acquiring, arranging and classifying in such a fashion that his collection may be enjoyed by school boy and politician, farmer and business man. On October 8th, 1923 this collection was opened to public inspection in Main Avenue High School. The first day twenty-five important organizations were represented amongst the visitors and the rooms were crowded with constant streams of people, coming and going. The exhibit included many rare specimens secured from all parts of the world; in fact, some of them dated back to prehistoric times. The Texas exhibit, which features unusually fine specimens, includes between three and four cases of edible nuts, no two being exactly alike. Every known variety of pecan is shown from the tiniest, which take 2000 to make a pound to varieties that are so large that 20 nuts weigh a pound. Many wools of Texas form a large part of the exhibition and are represented by examples that have taken prizes for more than thirty years, and which go to prove that “Texas can beat the world in raising sheep and wool. Samples of wool from the Chevicot and Angora goats are particularly interesting. A surprising display of cocoons and raw silks raised in San Antonio is made in contrast with samples from the silk centers of the world. Flax, hemp and fiber, taken from cotton stalks and common weeds are well worth studying. Samples of tobacco raised in Texas which have taken prizes whenever shown, rice in every stage from the seed to puffed and flaked with all the by-products are featured also. Corn is given a particularly interesting display. The museum also contains specimens of cotton, mesquite wood, sand for making glass and paper made in Texas from Texas growths. Aside from this there’s the collection of minerals gathered from all parts of the State, which goes to prove that any known mineral product can be found in Texas. Here one finds beautiful specimens of limestone, marble, quartz, tourmaline, cinnabar, garnets, amethysts and turquoise, gold, copper, lead and fifty varieties of iron. There are also cases devoted to the display of petrified woods and shells. Probably the most remarkable of all these displays, however, is the collection of wild animals, including fifty varieties of rats, with foods, habits and uses; squirrels, One Hundred Xine V ID 24 El Sombrero and the deputy collector of customs at Laredo. An-coyotes, bob-cats, badgers, etc, cannot be shown because of the lack of room and cases. There are many beautiful birds on display, a great number of which Professor Attwater has given lectures on. Since bringing this collection to Main Avenue many interested persons have added specimens both curious and beautiful. Amongst these contributions is a collection of coins, including specimens from Belgium, Italy and Australia; two birds of paradise worth $400 each were donated by the New York Zoological Museum One Hun fir Ten other unique specimen if the bridal duck, which was shot near San Antonio, donated by the Park Commissioner. One of the most original features connected with the muesum is the group of young hostesses, who are taken from the student body at large. These girls serve in the museum at certain specified hours, welcoming visitors and acting as guides. A registrar book is kept by these girls, in which an interesting hodgepodge of names is found, from the scroll of a second-grader to the signature of a visiting celebrity.

One Hundred Fourteen Mam Avqixuq HigR 5'cRool EL SOMBRERO FTER Iho 1923 Main Avenue annual, the Huisache, carried off first place in the Texas High School Press Association contest, the 1924 staff felt called upon to prove themselves worthy of their predecessors. They realized that their volume was being watched for by schools all over the State. Upon advice from officials in the Association, a change of name was decided on in order that the weekly publication and the annual might not both be called “The Huisaehe.” “El Sombrero” was selected from a large number of suggestions, since it embodies the atmosphere of San Antonio and presents unlimited opportunities to give the annual a definite personality of its own. The new name was shrouded in mystery until it burst forth in a special edition of the weekly, and with the announcement a subscription campaign was begun. Within a week’s time sufficient funds were on hand to assure the financial success of “El Sombrero.” Approximately three hundred and fifty books were sold, which is the record circulation of any annual in the history of Main. Up until this time, only the Managing Editor, John Walker Canaday, the Literary Editor, Theodosia Jones, and the Circulation Manager, Joe Ansley, had been chosen. These officers selected their own staff, which was approved with no rejections by the senior class as follows: Business Manager, Robert Straus; Art Editor, John Edwin Canaday; Personals Editor, Dorothy Brenner; Senior Editor, Ruth Gorman; Sport Editor. Berkeley Glass; Organization Editor, Imogene Tinsley; Proof Readers, Helen Gugenheim and Margaret El-d ridge. The entire staff conferred on the important matter of sponsors, and finally Miss O’Neill and Mr. May were chosen, and each accepted. Their encouragement and co-operation was a nucleus around which “El Sombrero” grew and developed. In compiling the material for “El Sombrero” the staff has had one aim—to make “El Sombrero” a monument to our deceased principal, Fred llofstettcr, to whom these efforts are dedicated.

Beginning under many handicaps, including debt, loss of student support and oonfidenee, and complete failure in all contests the year before, the newly elected staff immediately set out to remedy the mistakes of their predecessors. Foremost among the changes was the adoption of a six column newspaper style. The publication had heretofore been a combination newspaper and magazine with neither style nor purpose. Such rapid progress was made that issues four, five, six, anil seven, which were in no way equal to those that followed them later, won first place in the Texas High School Press Association contest, and ranked in the highest tenth of nearly five hundred publications entered in the Central High School Press Association contest. In addition, a news-story by the editor, John Edwin Cana-dav, and another by Dorothy Brenner, the associate editor, were clipped from the issues and won respectively first and fifth places in the T. H. S. P. A. news-story contest. Renewed student interest was immediately gained, and the local merchants began to advertise under the arguments of the business staff. At the end of the year, thirty-four issues, composing Volume 28, were bound and Main now has an authentic record of her most successful journalistic year. Hard work alone was responsible for the phenomenal success. To Miss Mary Thomson, who accepted the sponsorship after a most discouraging struggle with unsuccessful Iluisaches in the past, is due in a large measure the good work. She encouraged both literary and business staffs and settled more than one argument which threatened to disrupt the paper. John Edwin Canaday, Editor-in-Chief, Dorothy Brenner, Associate Editor, and Days Yandcll, Proof Reader, composed the literary staff. Departments were “Club Clatter” by Theodosia Jones, “Bull Is Mightier Than the Bullet” by Jodie Burnett, “Foreign Comment” by Robert Ewell, and all sporting news by W. R, Beaumier. Francis McCall managed the business end, with Robert Straus and Hampton Beaumier managing the advertising with the assistance of Albert Hartman. Circulation was under the supervision of John Walker Canaday and his assistant, Berkeley Glass. One Hundred Seventeen FOR THE W£U-DRESSED HAM CWPIFTF OUTFIT FOR ! 9 .9Q OR NH AT . HAUE TOO?

The traffic management and police duty were well carried out, considering the number of stairs, halls, and locker-rooms which were under supervision. In the early fall, identification cards were distributed to every high school student and the code of ethics was brought before the student body more forcibly. The Council was. also, in charge of the sale of tickets for the annual Christmas play “Los Pastores’’. The all together interesting and successful assembly programs for Armistice Day. Washington’s Birthday, and San Jacinto Day were presented by the Student Council.. In order to raise money to purchase trophies for the football team, the Council sold booster badges, megaphones, and programs at the Main-Brackenridge Games. The sale was very successful and as a result gold footballs were awarded to seventeen members of the team. Later in the year, gold basket baHs and baseballs were purchased for the members of the respective teams. Not alone did the Council benefit the school during the year 1923-24. but the students of Main were encouraged in doing outside good as well. On Armistice Day, red and white carnations were taken to the disabled soldiers at Ft. Sam Houston, and throughout the year, programs were presented and magazines were distributed. The usual offerings for the orphans and poor families were taken up at Thanksgiving. At the Christmas Season the Council sponsored an entirely new kind of work and one which will be carried on in the years to come. Each advisory was assigned to some poor family which it provided with food, gifts, and necessities; so. in this way, happiness was brought to many a home which would not have known it otherwise. In a social way, the Council entertained with the annual Banquet in the school cafeteria on February 21, 1924; and a most enjoyable picnic was held at New Braunfels early in May. Among the biggest and best things accomplished during 1923-24 were (1) the establishment of a Loan Library where the students who could not afford supplementary English books might obtain them and (2) the establishment of an Honor System in Main Avenue High School. Work on the latter occupied a month’s time while other schools were unable to obtain charters for similar organizations in less than a year. As required in the Constitution of the National Honor Society the students belonging to this Fraternity were chosen by a faculty committee and were judged as to their scholarship, leadership, character, and service. It is a credit to the school to have such an organization as the Student Council which accomplishes such things for the school as a whole. Looking over the past semester, a record is found which outclasses many another school. The faculty, the principal, and the vice-principal of the school appreciate the good work done by the Council and they thank the president. Joe Ansley, for co-operating with their wishes and ideas in such a successful undertaking.

Twice it has come within one victory of winning the debating and declamation cups as permanent property. If the club succeeds in winning the debates next year, it will have this trophy as its own. Its outstanding event in the school year was the winning of the Inter-club debates. The three teams were: The Haynes were defeated 2-1; the Phils were vanquished 3-0. This gave Congress the cup for the fourth time. No other club in the school has had this record. In declamation Congress won second place, being represented by their president at that time, Robert Straus, who declaimed Texas Undivided and Indivisible . One of the leaders in the Interscholastic debating team was a Congressman, Robert Straus, of whom the club is justly proud. During the year two social events were given. Roth at the end of the first term, and at the end of the school year, a banquet-theater party was held in honor of the incoming and out-going officers. The club acknowledges much indebtedness to Miss Combs, their sponsor, who is interested in all branches of club work and in each of its members.

The cast was chosen as follows: The Shrew, Ruth Burgin; Petruchio, Tom John- son: Baptists, Ludwell Montague: Biondello, Anne Cleaves; Music Master, Ferdinand Herman; Tailor, Martha Pancoast; Grumio, James Hill; Curtis. Ruth Gorman; Pedro. Catherine Harding; Cook, Doris Wofford; Gregory, Anina Bond; Ralph, Catherine Searcey. This play, given on February 8, 1924, in M A. H. S. auditorium, was the best that the Shakes have put on in years, being dramatically and financially successful. The proceeds were used to add copies of Shakespeare’s works to the high school library. On October 10, a social meeting was given at the home of Harriet E’l-ane Robertson. This was enjoyed by all of the members who will remember it as a very delightful social event. Mrs. Bolton went as temporary sponsor as Miss Brunet was ill. The club gave a valentine luncheon at Wolff and Marx. The motive was very attractively carried out. By far the most enjoyable social event of the year was the annual farewell dance given at the end of the second term. Both members of the club and their guests had a delightful time and the dance was said by all to have been the best yet given by the Shakes. With the members’ co-operation and Anne Beth Price as president and with Miss Brunet as sponsor, the school can readily realize why the Shakes had such an enjoyable and profitable year.

During the last school year, 1923 24, the Phils have succeeded in carrying out their purpose, for, represented by Dorothy Le Gendre, Imogene Tinsley, Bedelia Mulkern, Mary Nell Hadden, Margaret Eldridge, and Edith Ryan in Inter-club debates, they obtained second place, being defeated only by Congress. They won first place in Inter-club declamation, represented by Ethel Wiggs. This year the competitive vaudeville, given annually by the Phils, proved a success as did the one of 1923. With the proceeds the club purchased two large urns and two smaller ones, and presented them to the school. These were dedicated to our late principal, Mr. Hofstetter, whom the club honored and respected. During the year all the girls that tried for the Interscholastic debating team were Phils. Helen Gugenheim and Imogene Tinsley made the team. The club, as usual, helped to put over the Inter-club dance, which the Haynes sponsored. With Dorothy Le Gendre as president during the fall and spring terms, and Miss O’Neill as sponsor, the club had a most enjoyable year during which they successfully lived up to the usual Phil standard.

In the annual Inter club debate the Haynes were represented by Albert Hartman. Francis McCall, and also Rapier Dawson, who substituted in the Hayne-Congrees Debate, first team; Robert Ewell and Alfred Schmid, second team; Jack Matthews and George Wimberly, third team. This year the Haynes sponsored the annual Interclub Dance. This truthfully may be said to have been one of the most enjoyable events along social lines in any club’s report of 1924. Of course, the Phils. Jeffs, Congress, and all the other clubs did their share, and it was only through their co-operation that this social event was so successful. The Hayne Act, “Your Wandering Hoy Is litre Tonight”, took second place in the Phil Vodvil and made such a hit that demands were immediately made for the act to be staged outside, where it also brought down the house. The comedy was clever burlesque on a movie studio written by a Hayne, Hal Fields, who also took the part of the leading lady. The high standard of the club is shown by the selection of two Hayne members to represent the school in Interscholastic Literary events; for debate, Albert Hartman, who Proved himself to be worthy to represent the school, and Tom Johnson, who declaimed tor the school. These two boys deserve a great deal of praise for their good work for Main Avenue. The year of 1924 will go down as the most successful year of all for the Hayne Club, and its members give much credit to their two sponsors, Miss Mary Thompson and Mr. Julien Thomas.

The year of 1924 saw no play given by the Dramatics, but instead, a clever, interesting act in the Phil Vaudeville entitled “Enter Juliet” in which music, dancing and dramatic art were employed. The club chose as the book to study during the year “Justice”, by John Galsworthy. In the month of November, to start social functions moving, the club gave a theater party, which was enjoyed by all. for Christmas celebration, the members of the club gave on December 26, a luncheon at the Original Mexican restaurant and a theater party. Open House was held on January 19, 1924, at the home of Elizabeth Carnahan. The Dramatics have co-operated in every drive to boost Main as was shown by their splendid work in the Museum Drive. The sponsor for the year being Miss Schneider, we understand why all the undertakings of the Dramatics were carried out so successfully. Also the presidents, Mildred Davis for the Fall Term and Alyce Riggs for the Spring, have been inter ested in every movement of the club.

During the year the club studied the life and works of Mark Twain and found them to be most interesting and absorbing. In the fall term the members elected Jane White as president and again in the spring term re-elected her. The Hall of Fame came next and then the initiation of several new members. In October, the club gave a mystic and clever Hallowe’en party which proved to be a well-carried out social function. On George Washington’s birthday, the club gave a banquet at the La Casa Del Rio. Everything was carried out in colonial style. The club participated in the annual inter-club dance, sponsored by the Ilayne Debating Society. The act given by the M. T. C. in the Phil Vaudeville proved clever, and was put over in a most amusing manner. The club was lCO strong in the tag day drive for the Attwater Museum. For the Rattle of Flowers Parade the Mark Twains had an unusually attractive float. At the close of the year, a dance was given by the members of the club to the graduates of ’24.

As is typical of the club, it went into the field industriously, and by the end of the year had developed that line of club work to the highest degree. These members again put on a musical act for the Phil Vaudeville, and for the second consecutive time they carried away the fifteen-dollar prize. Not only did they have real syncopated harmony, but a song was an additional attraction to this feature. The Jeffs seem to be musically inclined, but they can hardly be discouraged when such unusual ability is shown as this. An active part was taken by the members in the Inter-club Dance, and they did a great deal to help the Haynes put it over successfully. When, at the beginning of the school year, Mr. Ivey was forced to resign, the Jeffs were fortunate enough to get Mr. Kibler. It is largely due to his co-operation with the officers and members of the club that the Jeffs were able to accomplish so much during the spring term.

Besides producing plays at the school, the club has entertained the Protestant Orphans’ Home, The Tourists’ Club, the soldiers at the Base Hospital, .and the Rotary Club. The most popular plays presented are the following: “Joint Owners in Spain” by Alice Brown, “Their Tomorrows” by Tacie May Hanna, “Birds Christmas Carol” by Kate Douglas Wiggin, “A Couple of Lunatics,” “Gentle Julia”, by Booth Tarking-ton, “Why the Chimes Rang , by Elizabeth McFadden, “Sohrab and Rustum”, by Matthew Arnold, “The Trysting Place”, by Booth Tarkington, “The Twisting of the Rope”, by Douglas Hyde, “In the Photograph Gallery”, by Browne, “Six Persons”, by Sangwell, “The Little Man , by Galswrorthy. The club cleared $110 with its first pay production. Part of (his amount was used to buy twenty-five copies of O. Henry's short stories in the recently edited selection by C. Alphonso Smith. Part wfas used to pay for a case in the Attwater Museum. The President for 1924 is Dan Johnson; the vice-president is Ferdinand Herman. The Sponsors are Misses Perez, Inches, Finney, Brawner, O’Neil, L. Stone, and E. Stone.

The plans then suggested and later made were carried out successfully during the school terms 1923 and 1924. The first undertaking of the Latin Club was the presentation of “Julius Caesar”. Due to the courteous co-operation of the Rialto, the film was shown at that theater. The results were notably successful, both educationally and financially. The proceeds were used to add reference books pertaining to I atin to the library. The club meet? only once a month. During the meetings very enjoyable programs have been given by the members of the club. One of the best was a program at which several business men spoke; every Latin student in the city was invited to attend. Another interesting feature was the work in the Junior High Schools, to which speakers were sent to show the value of Latin. The Latin Club year ended with an unusually enjoyable picnic which was given lor the seniors in the department by the Latin classes. Every meeting of the club was a “red letter” day in its calendar. In all of its undertakings the club lived up to its aims to arouse interest in the classics so that all might enjoy the pleasure of studying Latin and understand fully the benefits derived from the subject. The Latin Club also carried out its motto: “Forsan et haec olim meminUse.” One Hundred Forty one CLUB SPANISH Wt 'a £b 3LV f U5 LT t£S 10 ° A C0V V ALVf® 0 Spanish (Tab OFI-'l(’KRS President . . . .

The need of such an organization lias been deeply felt by the students, but until February 13, 1924, this dream was not realized. this subject, and to gain a better knowledge of the customs of the people and traditions of Old Spain. In order to become more efficient in the speaking cf this language they converse as much as possible in Spanish. Their programs consist of Mexican music and study of the art and literature of Spain. They feel it is a great advantage to live, as they do, in a city which is surrounded by the atmosphere of the descendants of Old Spanish settlers, and they want to teach their members to appreciate the contribution the Spanish people have made to our civilization. Only those who are taking Spanish four or above and are making an average of eight are eligible for membership. In that way the club aims to keep its membership restricted. With the Spanish Department, one of the largest in Main, their possibilities are many. It is the aim of the club to create a new and greater interest in the study of One Hundred Forty-three ■ GIR RESERVES ■ ,VfAfcU v,;r . (.„■■ ki' mj KJyf 0 •� «-� • ■ ■ , Z Kfvj C L • .

This went off beautifully and made an excellent showing for the club and for the school. During Christmas the Girl Reserves ushered at all performances of the play “Los Pastores”. They also gave a wonderful Christmas basket to a poor family. Girls’ Week was celebrated by the members of the club at Main Hi by an assembly, during which a skit entitled “The Girl Reserves the World Over” was presented. This was very well worked up and went off successfully. Miss Helen Tha burn from Shanghai, China, was the main speaker. The assembly was very enjoyable and was appreciated by every girl who attended. The Girl Reserves worked hard doing their bit in putting over the Tag Day Drive for the Attwater Collection. The members of the club are very fond and proud of their president, Evelyn Jackson, who has made an excellent leader, and who represented the High School in Interscholastic declamation between Main and Brackenridge. nur Hundred Fortyftv r vw vV : ■ SbvjK AH3VS WO ' P,t«!e s- ' S ° f 1 9 ? _ One Hundred Forty nix Main Avenue Ili-Y President..............................Sidney Blair Vice-President...................................Joe Ansley Secretary-Treasurer............................Prank Woods Leaders......W.

The purpose of the club is “To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character: to promote clean speech, clean athletics, clean scholarship, and clean living.” Only those who are serious minded concerning the purpose stated above are admitted as members, preferably Juniors and Seniors of High School. Members of the club have the privilege of attending the State Older Boys’ Conference held each year at A. M. college during February. Each week a speech is given by a member of the club on a topic closely connected with the purpose of the club. These talks have been enjoyable and beneficial to every member of the organization. Every month an outside speaker gives the boys a good address. The club, on November 5, gave a banquet honoring the football teams of Main and Brackenridge. April 28 being Best Girl Night, the boys of the club celebrated in a wonderful fashion. On May 12, the members gave a Mother and Son banquet. Throughout the year the club has lived up to its purpose and enjoyed it immensely. One Hundred Forty-seven ALL AT SEA Student council. JUNE 24-’ DRAMATICS ... M?

This proved such a success that another dance was given to the cadets of both schools on May 9. It is extremely gratifying that the representative men of the city take an active interest in the work that is being done by the young men of the schools. During the spring term the cadets attended in a body the awarding of the American Legion medals to the Brackenridge cadets. Shortly after this the eleven Main Avenue cadets namely: Sgt. W. T. Harris, of Company A; Sgt. Ben Smith and Corporal James Trosper of Company B; Robert Maxwell and Sgt. George Wimberly of Company C; Raul Alcala of the Drum and Bugle Corps; Lt. James Vardanian, Sgt. Charles Girand, Capt. William P. Camp and Capt. Alfred Schmidt; with military solemnity and splendor appropriate to the occasion received “Minute Men medals. Throughout the year reviews have been held on every Friday. The Ninth Infantry was selected as sponsors of the Main Avenue Cadet Battalion. From the beginning of the year they have sent instructors in trench mortars, machine guns, hand grenades, etc. to the school twice a week to instruct the boys in these various lines.

Carr Farley Kaufman Chandler Harper Price Denison Hammonds Warren Davis Henning West Dean McGuire One Hundred t'ifty-fmr The Smith-Hughes Vocational Machine Shop organized this vear with twentv-four students, the largest class yet organized in the vocational work. Although the crowded condition of the shop tends to hold back the students they have done well in adapting themselves to the machinists’ trade. The vocational machine shop requires the student to complete satisfactorily: two years of drawing having one hour each day. two years of machine mathematics, having a one-hour class each day and two years practice in machine shop, having three hours dailv in the shop. Mulshing the prescribed course the student is given a certificate which entities him to he regarded as an apprentice with two years training. A machinist generallv spends four vears as an apprentice. The class has completed this year, under the instruction of Mr. A. T. Dwenger manv projects of value to the school: an eight inch bench lathe with standard equipment, including hangers, sliderest. ami wood turning attachments, valued at one hundred and fifty dollars, an eight inch tool grinder and stand to be used in the shop valued at fifty dollars, a two cycle gasoline engine developing one-fourth horsepower valued at fiftv dollars, two double acting steam engines, one developing one horse power and the smaller'one one-fourth horse power. Satisfactory results have been obtained in die casting and making of the dies Many individual projects designed by students have been made, such as tool holders, wrenches, surface gauges, tap wrenches, brest drills, reamers, gears. Jacks, hammers, levels, squares, chucks, chuck keys, and many other articles useful to a machinist. Two sensitive drill presses have been finished and two more arc under construction. Card trays, paper knives, and other convenient articles for the office desk have been made by etching, die casting, shaping, and hand carving. Two library table lamps have been made’and put on display in firms in the city. Seventy-five dollars were offered for each lamp owing to the unique construction of the lamp, being made from a large bullet with its shell. In the Drafting department the students first receive instructions in lettering. After he has learned to do lettering satisfactorily he is given small development problems with dimensions. When competent in this he is allowed to design work. After finishing a two year course in drafting, the student is able to design, make drawings of machine parts, lettering, tracing, and blue printing the tracings. I’nder the instruction of Mr. A, W. Winterborne. who is also Instructor of the drafting department, the mathematics class has proven to be very valuable to the machinist. All problems in Algebra, Trigonometry, ami Geometry related to the machine work are taught. All machine work for the Auto Repair shop, of this school, such as grinding pistons, facing cylinder block and crank case, is done by the Machine Shop, saving the school much money. The Vocational Machine Shop extends an invitation to you to visit them at any time and further information will be cheerfully given. One Hunfired Fifty jive TIIE AUTOMOBILE DEPARTMENT The automobile shop, which may well be considered one of the most useful and practical courses offered at Main Avenue, is one of the most progressive mechanical units in the city. There are thirty-six boys under the direction of Mr. Peavey in this department that is earning for itself such wide-spread and well merited praise. The department works in co-operation with the various repair shops of the city rather than having opbn competition with them. Practically the same work is carried on by the Main Avenue auto shop as is solicited and systematized by the city dealers. One of the most noteworthy features of this shop is the system which is employed. This new method has been carried out in very few schools in the country and Main Avenue has the first in Texas. The system consists of dividing the work into six departments: Chassis-Tire. Motor-Welding, Battery. Electrical, Cost Accounting and Tests. Each of these departments has a foreman who is chosen from the students for his aptitude and efficiency. The work of each section is supervised by its foreman who in turn has an assistant. Rather an interesting feature is the fact that the Test department is made up of the foremen of the Chassis-Tire, Motor-Welding and Electrical departments. The boys are rotated through each department from the lowest to the highest and given chances for advancement. Several of the students taking this course work with the dealers of the city and as it is usually a foreman who is selected for this work there are subsequent openings for the advancement of the remaining students. One hundred Fifty-six ATHLETICS Football CTHAIN was extremely fortunate in having Spitz Clark as coach of the J 1 football team for the 1923 Season. He coached a winning team the year before and everyone was looking to him to repeat his work. He was ably assisted by Mr. Guy Morrison, our new Athletic Director. With the first call for practice the veterans and a wealth of new material appeared and after a few weeks of hard work, they rounded out into Main's usual championship team. When the season started, Clark and Morrison had a team of individual stars, Cox and Dunsmore from last year for tin tackle positions, Culli and Yantis fitted the guard positions, Shiner, last year’s center was there with the usual light, and Brotze, Ketchum and West gave efficient aid as ends. !n the back field was Main’s triple thread man, Captain “Buddy” Armer. Buddy played the quarter position and with his usual “all my fault” kept his team lighting every second. West and Kenedy also filled tin general post when Buddy was under the weather. Fraley, Surtees. Faulk, “Tarzan” Merriman, Jordt, and Peacock were the other helpers. In the first game of the season. Main defeated Kerrville 7-0. In the second game of the series, Seguin was defeated, the score being 58-0. Main’s next battle was with Beeville. After a rough trip through mud and mire Main, for the third time, won. In the contest with West Texas, Brotze and Kennedy scored and the game ended 13-0 in favor of Main. Our team met Denison and after a hotly contested game, tied. In the game with Georgetown, Main gained some valuable experience and was well prepared to meet Bracken ridge in the most exciting battle of the season. a In the annual tangle with Brackenridge the odds seemed to be for Brackenridge. But that old lighting spirit of Main, defeated the odds and tied the score, 0-0. In this game “Buddy” Armer played with a broken arm bound up in a leather brace. Peacock was the outstanding star of the game and the incessant fighting of Minor Culli prevented any substantial gain being made through that section of the line. Y ith Culli on his side of the line were Cox and West, while the Iron wall of the left was made by Yantis, Dunsmore, and Brotze, the Pivot being Shiner. This game was noted for its clean sportsmanship, no man being removed on either side. The second game clinched (’ox’s position as “All State Tackle”. In the first quarter, Cox broke through the line, blocked a kick and ran One Hundred Fifty-nine Football (Continued) SO yards for our only score. Jordt missed the kick. The game progressed well to our end until, through hard luck, the entire center of the line had been taken out. Brown White took Yantis place, Brotze took center and Weatherford for Culli. These men wen-excellent and worked hard but they could not hold big Bob Fenner who plunged through the line time after time until tin-entire field had been covered and the score again tied, thus the second and last game with Brackenridgc was closed, 6-6. After a second tie with Brackenridgc Main was awarded the district championship and went out after the State title. One Hundred Sixty Football (Continued) The first inter-district game with Beaumont proved fatal to Main’s aspiration for state championship when we lost a hard battle to a heavier team on a wet field by a score of 7-0.

BASKET BALL ) I'NIIEN Coach Morrison took over the basket ball ciuad, he was confronted with the j I problem of building up an entirely new team, as practically all of last year’s men had left. The only veterans remaining were Barney MoDougal, Jodie McCarley, and Sam Dwyer. At the end of the year, however, eight Main players received gold basket balls for capturing the title of their league and losing the city title only after three hotly contested battles with Brackenridge, champion of the other league. Ernest Kennedy, a newcomer came forth strong and made a star forward. McCarley was the high point man of the games. “Little” Sammy Dwyer pushed Kennedy and McCarley hard for the forward position. The pivot position was taken care of by Fraley, a new man who showed he could be relied on. The guards, Dunsmore and Dougal worked with championship style. Dunsmore is another one who blossomed out. Dougal, the captain, played his usual stellar game. BASKET BALL SUMMARY OF GAMES Jan. 16 Jan. 23 Jan. 26 Jan. 30 Feb 2 Main Av 11.. 20.. 4. . .....32.. 0.. ..San Antonio Academy .. West Texas ..

Main did very NcA creditable work and won tlie right to claim the Relay Cup as permanent property. Coaches Morrison and Ivey had only Cordova, captain of this year’s team and sensational half miler and miler, Ingram, Marsh, and Phillips from last year. With the addition of Will, Holleran. Brown, Herman, Lovelace, Mayor, Kerr, Manhoff, Crowell, Arbuckle, and Smith a splendid squad was developed. CITY MEET In the annual dual City Track Meet Brackenridge defeated Main 65 1 3 to 47 2 3. Main took three first places, Cordova accounting for two and Kerr for one. Kerr had a great finish in the 440, most thrilling event of the meet. With only forty yards to go and running last, he passed the other runners one by one until he won out by a yard. One Hundred Sixty three TRACK (Continued) It was through Cordova's sensational work that Main won the mile relay for the third successive time and with it permanent possession of the Rotary Club cup. It was an exciting event showing both team work and training on the part of Main. Cordova won first places in the mile run and the 880 yard run easily. In other events many second and third places were won. In the 220 yard low hurdles Mayor came near a victory, but had the misfortune of spilling on the next to last hurdle. Although this kept him from an almost assured first place, he came in third. Manhoff took third place in the high hurdles. Will finished third in the ICO yard dash, third in the 220 yard dash. Cordova’s second in the mile run was Brown. Marsh finished second in the 220 hurdles. Cordova’s close second in the 880 was Crowell. Arbuckle tied with a Brackenridge man for second place in the pole vault and tied also for second in the high jump with Phillips of Main, as well as placing third in the broad jump. Holleran was a close second to the winner in the discus throw and won third in the shot-put. Herman came second in shot-put. Many of the second places bettered city and district first records made last year. DISTRICT MEET Main after having been defeated in the city meet came back strong and won the district meet at San Marcos. Main was third in the meet until the relay. Kerr started out but was exhausted after having placed third in the 440 and finished 30 yards behind the first man. Cordova gained 20 yards. Crowell taking up the run 20 behind the first man finished far ahead of the other man. Marsh held his own and finished the race with the 25 yard lead. Captain Cordova made two new records by making the mile in 4 minutes and 51 3 5 seconds and half mile in 2 minutes 10 2 5 seconds. In the 220-yard low hurdles. Marsh got third. Arbuckle tied for fourth in the pole vault. Herman tied for third place in the shot-put. In the 880 yard run Crowell followed Cordova for second place. Phillips tied for third place in the high jump. Holleran pushed Urban of Brackenridge close for a second in the discus throw. At this writing Captain Cordova, Marsh, Herman, Crowell, L. A. Kerr, and Bill Holleran are leaving to represent Main in the State Interscholastic Meet. One Hundred Sixty-four Oval, left to right:—Morris Levinson; Reuben Albaugh; Wooford Shane; Robert Menefee, Captain; Louis Levinson; Russell Kirkland. Circle, left:—Captain Robert Menefee; right. Wash Masterson, Manager. GOLF r A NEW feature was the introduction of golf in Main Avenue athletics. A good bit of y talent was displayed last year and combined with Mr. Morrison’s coaching resulted LI in a big success for those participating. After the preliminary matches the following teams were selected: Reuben Albaugh, Morris Levison, Lewis Levison and “Wee Bobby” Menefee. The “ace” of the events was Reuben Albaugh, a phenomenal player for his size. Wash Masterson was the able manager with “Budd” Ivey’s assistance. The first match waa with Austin on their course. This victory was just a forerunner of the ones that were to follow. Austin and Main clashed on the Municipal Course next. Main won all the matches with the exception of one twosome. Robert Menefee and Lewis Levison defeated Philip George and Tarry Butler of Austin five and four. The second foursome, Reuben Albaugh and Morris Levison opposing Felix George and Donald Malackey, made the second victory for Main. Albaugh. the Main star, came up twice to win from Malackey of Austin. In the other twosomes Lewis Levison defeated Anthony of Austin two and four; Morris Levinson defeated Felix George two and one; Robert Menefee defeated Phillip two up; and Wooford Shane of Main was defeated by James Brown, two up. The lowest card was turned in by Reuben Albaugh who shot an 82. “Wee Bobby” Menefee was right behind with a card of 83. For the third successive time Main beat Austin, winning by a match margin. The count was 5 to 4; Austin winning two singles and two foursomes, and Main winning four singles and one foursome. In this match Menefee and Albaugh turned in cards of 80 and 82 respectively. Lewis Levinson turned in a card of 81 in the afternoon play. Immediately following their three victories over Austin, Main challenged any high school in the state and as no one took the challenge they turned in a claim for the state championship. As yet this claim is undisputed. Om Hundred Sixty-ftcr Back How:—Harry Kirk, David McGehee, Will Baily Russell, Joe Kincaid (Capt.), Evans Fitch, and David Combs. front Row:—Allen Ingrum. Bennie Smith. Fred Smith, Hays Yandell, Jesse McCarley, and Charlton Carroll. HIS year more interest was shown in tennis than has ever been shown in any of the preceding years. Many candidates went out for the team and strong group of twelve singles teams and five doubles teams was formed. At the beginning of the year Joe Kincaid was elected captain and throughout the year managed the team well. The singles teams ranked in the order named were as follows: Fred Smith, Charlton Carroll, Joe Kincaid, Jesse McCarley, Will Bailey Russell, Harry Kirk, David McGehee, Evans Fitch, Allen Ingrum, Hays Yandell. Stewart King, and Bennie Smith. The doubles were: Harry Kirk and David McGehee, Joe Kincaid and Fred Smith, Will Russell and Bennie Smith, David Combs and Hays Yandell, and Allen Ingrum and Evans Fitch. In the inter-scholastic matches Jesse McCarley represented Main in the singles, and Kincaid and F. Smith in the doubles. Kincaid and Smith won the district doubles championship but McCarley was not able to do as well in the singles contests. In the girl's tennis Main was represented this year by Jane' Keihl, who TENNIS One Hundred Sixty-six Left:—Joe Kincaid, Captain. Center: -Fred Smith and Joe Kincaid, inter-scholastic doubles team.

We were fortunate to have Mr. Morrison to coach us. He has a past baseball record that is worthy of high mention. When the day of practice came, although a little short of letter men, we had a wealth of new material. On the initial sack was Fraley. The pitchers were always puzzled what to do with Fraley as he could always readily connect. At the Keystone sack we had Walter Will, the track star. While at the hot corner Waters James covered everything. In the field there was Sam Dwyer, who took care of the left garden in great style. While center field was held down by Jody McCarley, who saved many a day with his shoe string catches. Mulligan took the right field in big league style. Behind the home plate we had the new star Bill Holleran. Bill was one of those stellar players and was pushed hard by Winston Young, a likely catcher for next year. The pitching staff composed of Fred Reichart, the old veteran, and Gus Dwyer, showed up well. Besides these, we had three other twdsters who made our record good, Hubert Menger, Joe Wurzbach and Horace Enderlee.
