O droning future on ahead, Which merges with the skies, By your hand memories are dead, By your hand high school dies. You kill the vivid, joyous days, Which dormant lay in mind; You deaden then the humdrum ways, You thrust them all behind. O readers of this living book, Live high school life again; Be not yourself as now, but look Upon yourselves as then. Let not Life’s measured-humming gin Put all into neglect; Put far behind the present’s din— Read now, and recollect. —Jean Cana Jay I7EI7KATIV N TO him who has given so much time, consideration, and energy for the development of this school; who has been res-olute, and yet always just and forbearing; who has taught us the ethics of clean sportsmanship, broad tolerance, and simple kindliness—to Mr. F. S. Eakeley, our beloved principal —we dedicate this, our book. mnimuttentil hr .verm . Hi mu :!:u s [X . • • 11 •• .arllo . m ■ : :: nf?nr. t; sBb Alma Mater • � � As we prepare to leave this hallowed spot, what fond memories we carry away with us. The third, or Manual Training Building, contains the room of rooms, mystery and queer symbols—the chemistry laboratory. Upstairs are the departments that turn out the future housewives,—the sewing and cooking rooms. In the basement arc the saws that buzz and twang. The buffer, the second building, with its wooden steps worn into grooves, contains Miss E. Stone’s room with its walls plastered with pictures and caricatures of our favorite writers and poets. Here, also, are the study halls and library. Connecting the first and second buildings is the old stone bridge; then up a flight of steps and behold the roomy front hall with its cross-word puzzle tiles. Branching off from it are the office, with its “mourners’ bench”, and the auditorium, where we passed many happy hours, and the museum with its curios. Upstairs is that haven of rest—Mother Clark’s office, where every thing can be mended from broken hearts to broken arms. Last, but not least, come the imposing front steps where “the bunch” gathered before school, at noon and in the evening to discuss the events of the day. Fifteen To My Dear Young Friends: Life is measured by deeds—years themselves having very little significance as an indication of usefulness, of fulness, of completeness. Methuselah “was”, we read, “nine hundred and fifty and nine years, and he died”. Moses lived one hundred twenty years only, but the angels of God went forth to his funeral. The significant difference in these two lives is the fact that Moses was ever challenging the world in deeds, while Methuselah was occupied mainly in counting the years. The foundation principle of all society is that labor is uplifting. The very slaves who bore dead Caesar home were by that act ennobled. Work is the everlasting adamant, the eternal cornerstone on which the wreck of crumbling things shall ever build anew and again; work is life, idleness an intolerant mischief. When the Savior Himself was to be led into the temptation, the first thing the devil thought of was to get him into the wilderness, that is to say, away from His work. When we want a man for mischief and strife, we find an idle brain. You young people want an education so that you can be more capable. This capability, or competency, which you desire to obtain, is a most wonderful and useful thing. What is it? It is the power to do the job assigned to you. The only capability, and the only competency, which can always be sold, is the power to stay on the job until it is finished. Attractive personality, bright conversation, the art of being a pleasant companion, are valuable accessories to capability, but never think for a moment that they are evidences of capability. 'I'he power to stay on a job until it is finished will prevent the slowest of you from ever being called stupid; that power will, as sure as fate, lift its possessor over the heads of all who do not havc.it. Are you elever; arc you smart; can you compete; will you be successful? Write boldly in the hand of the future the amount which you have of this power, and the answer to these cpiestions can plainly and surely be read. President School Board.

Sixty-eight The cloud, which, intercepting to clear light Hangs o’er thy eyes and blunts thy mortal sight 1 wilt remove.— Virgil’s Acneid 11-604. I saw a house of learning from whose door there came A class of merry students, eager for the game. Equipped with expectation, feeding vain desire, They strive to see the light towards which their souls aspire. Hich with hope and knowledge, nourishing no care; Forgetful of life’s struggles, of troubles unaware; They do not see the hardship, the suffering or strife They must endure before they cross this arch of life. The way is steep and many vainly try to cross; Forget their goals in life and suffer grievous loss. While some, pursuing bubbles that dance before their eyes And glitter in the sunlight promising surprise, Are in the midst of gladness, dropt in a deep abyss And meet despair and pain where once had been sweet bliss. One falters and looks backward in a careless mood, When suddenly some other thrusts him off the road. Couples hand in hand, assisting one another Know the worth of having one true friend or brother. Yet many blind with grief—the flood of their own tears Are falling on the rocks and slip back through the years. Indeed ’tis true that others who keep the light in view Have strength to reach the summit if their object’s true. Resplendent in their glory; satisfied with life, Rewarded in the end for their laborious strife. A few there are who lead them o’er the honored way Thi'ough the light of their success and through their brightest day The road becomes much smoother; downward turns the arch Towards a life eternal the leader bears his torch. —Ruth Jeanette Howell History of the June ’25 Class ir tr SHOULD one look back through the annals of Main Avenue, the year 1921 would stand out as a most important and memorable one; for it was then, in the fall, that a group of brilliant, green freshies first entered the portals of Main Avenue to begin a high school career that was to prove a most successful and record-breaking one. As most freshies, they were seen but not heard for about two years. During that time the dazzling green surface grew duller, and the bashfulness and timidity had entirely disappeared when they became sophomores. In 1923, they advanced to the ranks of juniors, ready to undertake the many duties that might tall upon them. It was then that they organized the June ’25 Class and, under the competent leadership of Jimmie Dick Ansley, as president, proved an invaluable asset to the school and established a reputation for being one of the most capable, enthusiastic, enterprising junior classes that Main claims. In the fall of 1924, they gathered together once more under the dignified name ol seniors, determined to assume the numerous responsibilities of this new role in a willing and capable manner. They began by electing the following officers: President........ Vice-President.. . Secretary .... Treasurer........ Sergeants-at-Arm. Parliamentarian Reporter........ Prophet.......... Testator......... Poet............. Historian........ ................Morris Brownlee .............Mary Nell Iladdcn ...................Alberta Scott ...................Ernest Adler T. L. Taylor, Will Bailey Iiusscl ......................Ora Davis .................Meredith Engel ...................Phyllis Fulk .............Josephine Canaday ...................Ruth Howell ..................Norita Black Then the work began: The Huisache Staff, headed by Meredith Engel, with Phyllis Fulk first and later Catherine Johnson as Associate Editor, worked early and late with the splendid results that the Huisache won til’s! place in the state high school newspaper contest. History of the June ’25 Class (Concluded) At the beginning of the year, Jack Matthews was elected to head the Annual Staff, which began work immediately on “El Sombrero”. The subscription campaign closed with an assembly conducted by the Annual Staff. In March, a musical comedy, “Polished Pebbles”, was selected and work begun on it. A splendid cast was chosen, and the play met with great success when it was presented on May the twenty-first and twenty-second. And after work came play: The first social activity of the senior year was quite a novel one. It was a skating party given at the Skating Rink on November the twenty-first. For that night, the seniors decided to abandon their dignity and have a noisy, good time, which they truly did. The biggest social event of the fall term was the Christmas Dance, held on the twenty-third of December at the Gunter Hotel. The dance was a delightful affair, and everyone spent a most enjoyable evening. On March the first, the seniors collected in Koehler Park for a sunrise breakfast which was truly a snappy one. None were able to evade the clicking cameras, and that happy day will never be forgotten by the Seniors. At last, and perhaps too soon, Graduation Week arrived with its many functions. It began on Sunday, May twenty-fourth, when the seniors gathered in the Auditorium for the Baccalaureate Sermon. Class Day, on the twenty-fifth, was one that will linger forever in the memories of many a senior. It was featured by the farewell assembly in the morning, the luncheon in the Cafeteria at noon, and the ceremonies at night. Finally on the twenty-eighth of May, Graduation Night came as a climax to the high school career.

The members of this organization are selected by the principal and a committee from the faculty. The purpose of the Honor Society is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render school service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the students of the secondary schools. Service is interpreted as a willingness to render cheerfully, efficiently, and enthusiastically any service to the school when called upon. A student must also demonstrate initiative in the classroom and school activities, hold successfully positions of responsibility, and exert a type of leadership which actively influences toward fine leadership to attain the Honor Society. A student may gain recognition in character by meeting his obligations promptly, by demonstrating an honest spirit in class work, by upholding the ideals of the Christian organizations of the school, and by constantly demonstrating those qualities indispensable the finest young manhood and womanhood. r r MAIN AVENUE HIGH SCHOOL CHAPTER MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY •lessie Anne Fischer Harry Otto Fischer Mary Nell Hadden Jimmie Dick Ansley Catherine Avila Josephine Canaday Grace Clausewitz Ora Davis Norita Black Reuben Albaugh CLASS OF 1 !)2.r Robert Halff Ruth Howell Catherine Johnson Martha King Esther Marshall Beatrice Masterson Marjorie McGehee Jack Matthews Anna Sue Morehead Mary Louise Murray Mary Newton Max Oppenhcimcr Ruth Phifer Herman Pollack Edmund Qucrreau Nell Reiplinger Adelaide Richardson Will Bailey Russel Alberta Scott Helen Upschultc Bettye Vardanian Morris Brownlee CLASS OF 1926 Hal Fields Clara Giesecke Eli Goldstein Robert Lee Rhea Declamation and Debate §T Top row: Robert Halff, extemporaneous speaker; Mr. Julian Thomas, coach; Mr. Frederick Abbott, coach; Eli Goldstein, declaimer.

Over one hundred and twenty-two Latin students competed in this, the first Latin tourney to be held in Southwest Texas. After a three-hour Latin examination, which formed the basis for the competition, the visiting contestants were conducted on a sight-seeing drive over the entire city. Then at six o'clock, a Roman banquet was given by the civic clubs of the city in honor of the contestants, at the Gunter Hotel. As a result of the victories, the High School Library was presented with three copies of Harper's ‘‘Dictionary of Classical Literature and Antiquities”, which were won by the second, third and fourth year teams. These school prizes, of which Main won three, were awarded to the team making the highest average as a team in each of the three years. In addition, winners were awarded individual prizes consisting of gold coins and books. Alberta Scott received fifty dollars in gold and a copy of Harper's “Latin Lexicon”. All other winners received ten dollars in gold and a copy of Galey’s “Classic Myths”. One Hundred Three i m u Glee Club w OFFICERS FOR THE YEAR ........Jean Stedliam . .Eunice Lee Hickerson ...

The club not only gained recognition in San Antonio, but in nearby towns in which concerts were given. Under the leadership of the new director, Mr. Francis de Burgos, the club was most efficiently trained and was capable of representing the school in a very complimentary manner. One Humlred Four Glee Club (Continued) The first public appearance was at the State Teachers’ Convention, held in San Antonio, in November. Later in the month, the club rendered some appropriate music for a Spanish program, given at this school. In January, the club accepted an invitation to sing at the American Legion Hospital in Kerrville, Texas. The work on this occasion was highly praised. The same month, on very short notice, they sang at a Lions’ Club Luncheon. The big event of the year was at the Orchestral Concert given by the combined junior and senior high school orchestras and the Glee Club. Three performances were given and the club was highly lauded for its numbers. One Hundred Five Main Avenue High School Orchestra w Conductor.......... President.......... Vice-President . . .

The Main Avenue High School Orchestra was organized into a club at Mr. Zoeller’s request in order to carry on more work through the power of an organization. Not only did the orchestra club successfully complete the work it was required to do. but it also gave the first high school orchestra concert in the city. The concert was so successful that requests were immediately sent One Hun it red Six Main Avenue High School Orchestra (Continued' for the orchestra to play at such places as the Y.M.C.A., Lions’ Club, and other associations. Before this, the orchestra played at a pageant given in the city and entertained visitors at the Texas Teachers’ Association with music at their luncheons and meetings. The year 1925 will go down as the most successful year in the orchestra’s history; it is the first year that an orchestra has represented Main in the annual competition for the state prize at Belton. The members give much credit of the year’s success to their able conductor, Mr. Otto Zoeller. Mr. Zoeller is a prominent conductor, having established in the past years an excellent reputation for himself. Through his hearty co-operation and willing aid, the club was able to elevate to the high standard at which it now stands. ilr. Francis de Burgos, sponsor, deserves much credit for his assistance to further all of the enterprises undertaken by the orchestra. One Hundred Seven Christmas Cheer ONE of the big accomplishnients of the school year in which every student had a share was the Christinas Cheer work, sponsored by the Student Council and carried on through the advisories. The names and addresses of the needy and destitute families, in which there were little children, were secured by a committee of workers. Several weeks before Christmas, the homes wore visited and the ages, names, and the needs of each member of the family were secured in order that the gifts might be more appropriate. As far as possible, each child was given at least one toy or other gift that he especially asked for. Where there were very small children, beautifully trimmed Christmas trees were also given. Besides the gifts, each family received supplies for their Christmas dinner and enough more to last them several days. Warm clothes, fuel, and in some cases, money were given to pay doctors’ bills, rent, and other such debts. In fact, the students tried to find out just what was needed to make Christmas week in that family a happier one. This year approximately sixty-three deserving families and nearly three hundred and fifteen individuals were reached through the splendid work and co-operation of the teachers and students. The organized Christmas Cheer plan has been carried out for the last two years, and it has now become a recognized activity of the school year. One Hundred Eight Essay Contest For three successive years Main has won first place in the Essay Contest, John E. Canaday in 1924 and Elizabeth Hhodes in 1923. This year Main was ably represented by Edmund Quercau. who took as the subject of his essay “My Favorite Study”. Edmund is well known about school, being treasurer of Congress and on the Annual and Huisaehe staffs. Main Avenue will feel the loss of Edmund when he graduates in June for he may always he relied upon to uphold the honor of his Alma Mater. Mother Clark Mrs. Elizabeth M. Clark, or better and affectionately known to Main Avenue Students as Mother Clark, is one of the most essential persons in Main. In 1914 Mother Clark joined the official family at Main High and has been most faithful during all these years of service. At any hour Mother Clark is found ready to console, advise, or encourage any of “her children” who may be in need of such ministrations. At the beginning of each new term Mother Clark opens her book exchange where books may be bought and sold. The lost and found bureau under Mother Clark’s direction is also a great help to the students in keeping up with their belongings. For her long years of patient service and never ending sympathy for all Main Avenue Students, the Senior Class here wishes to express their appreciation, and the wish that she may be to the future students what she has been to them.

The staff this year hopes to maintain the reputation of the former school annuals and to obtain even greater laurels. A strenuous advertising campaign was put on this year aided by most attractive posters, dodgers, musical and dancing features. Interest was stimulated by the offering of prizes to those selling the greatest number of Annuals. The record of Main Avenue was broken when at the end of •‘Annual Week” four hundred seventy-five copies had been sold. The San Antonio Advertising Club took a special interest in the ‘‘Annual Week” sale. The circulation and ad-managers were requested to make talks before several prominent San Antonio Civic Clubs on the subject of ‘‘Successful Annual Sales Drives”. The following staff for 1925 was elected in February by the senior class: Managing Editor, Jack Matthews; Literary Editor, Adelaide Richardson; Circulation Manager, Robert llalff; Advertising Manager, Max Oppen-heimer; Business Manager, Jimmie Dick Ansley; Personals Editors, Mary Newton, Alberta Scott, and Helen Cpschulte; Art Editor, Jack McGuire; Senior Editor, Norita Black; Sports Editor, Will Bailey Russell: Organization Editor, Edmund Quereau; Proof readers, Ella Savage and Marjorie MeGehec; Typist, Harry Fischer; Snap shots, Mary Eloise Steele; Joke Editor, Beatrice Ma.xterson; Assistant Advertising Manager, Annina Bond; Assistant Circulation Manager, Anna Sue Morehead. At the first meeting of the staff. Miss Marie O’Neil and Mr. 11. V. May were asked to Sponsor the 1925 “ El Sombrero” Annual. Their splendid interest and co-operation has been one of the strongest factors in promoting the success of the Annual. In compiling “El Sombrero”, the staff sought to obtain only the material possessing the greatest merit, that a favorable and lasting impression might be made upon all who read the contents. One Hundred Thirteen t ftOETH flUllCY RU3 ' ' HAlff nvii ra: 'v A U OPPENUt'’ CArHtHint JO One Hundred fourteen The Huisache « ■ HE record made by “The Huisache” this year was best in the state of Texas, and among the first ten percent in the entire nation. The method of preparation of this publication was unlike any preceding ones, a Journalism Class being organized. The members of this class were made up of picked students, their duty being primarily reporting for “The Huisache”, in the mean time, being taught the finer points of journalistic writing by Miss Stone, sponsor of the paper. The staff for next year was chosen entirely from this class or from people who intend to become members of it. This year’s publication forged far ahead of all others in one respect— subscriptions. A larger student circulation was obtained than ever before, the number of 100 per cent advisories being twenty and the entire circulation being 1025. Another respect in which this volume gained recognition was through the amount and quality of the advertising. The advertising manager, Robert Halff, went to work with a will to sec that no debt should be left behind to encumber the following staff, and it may be said that success crowned his efforts. The news that filled the pages this year was above the rest in the fact that it covered more departments. The R.O.T.O. 1'nit and Manual Training shops, as well as the History, Mathematics, and English departments, were kept up with. Through the courtesy of The Light and other local newspapers, more cuts found their way to press than ever before. Activities of the Junior and Senior Classes, The Museum, and, especially, The R.O.T.C. were illustrated by these. The Literary staff for the. year was: Meredith Engel, Editor-in-Chief; Catherine Johnson, Associate Editor; Edmund Quereau, Chief of Report -orial Staff; Esther Marshall, Chief of Editorial Staff; Josephine Cauadav, Club Clatter Editor; Harry Otto Fischer, Sporting Editor; Mary Eloisc Steele, Joke Editor; I.

This program of service began at the opening of the school term in September when the Council continued the traffic management and police duty undertaken by previous Councils, and entered upon new activities in order that the good work already accomplished might not be lost and that the ever-increasing needs might be met. A successful sale of tickets, Main pennants, booster badges, and megaphones for the Main-Brackenridge game was accomplished early in November.

In November the Council rendered another service, when they completely revised the 1923 Student Handbook. This handbook was distributed among the visiting teachers at the State Teachers’ Convention which was held at Main Avenue and among the students of the entire school. Complete information regarding the school, regulations and rules, courses of study, college entrance requirements, contests, and organizations was hereby placed in the hands of every Main Avenue Student. The field of service undertaken by the Council, however, was not limited to the school alone; for at Christmas time, each advisory took charge of a poor family for which they provided toys, candies, and gifts for Christmas.

The crowds which formerly thronged the office were thus diverted into a new channel where they received efficient attention. The mid-term distribution of State text-books was also accomplished. As in former years, speakers were sent from the Council to the junior high schools to welcome graduates to Main Avenue.

It is a great asset to Main Avenue High School to have a group of representative students bound together in the Student Council, working so earnestly and efficiently for the welfare of the school, according to Mr. F. S. Kakeley, principal. The Council has always concurred with all movements for the betterment of the school in any way and, through the past year, many helpful movements have been sponsored and aided.

Its activities have been quite varied during the past year. Social meetings were held monthly in the music room, beside the regular weekly meetings. The lives and works of Mark Twain, Robert Service, Rudyard Kipling, Robert Frost and others were studied and discussed in the club room. Social activities have been prominent, the most important having been a Hallowe’en Banquet at the Original Mexican Restaurant. The appropriate motif was carried throughout the place-cards and decorations. Their sketch in the Philomathean Competitive Vaudeville, “Sweethearts in Song”, was given before an appreciative audience and was well received. The club has prospered under the sponsorship of Mr. de Burgos and feels that much of the success of the year is due to his untiring efforts.

The most important work of the second term was the act in the Competitive Vaudeville, given by the Philomathean Club, on April 17. The Shakespeares chose a play by Christopher Morley entitled “On the Shelf”. It was put on in a splendid manner and was well received by the audience. The social meetings during the past year were very pleasant and enjoyable due to the splendid work of Catherine Johnson and Catherine Harding and the social committees who did their best to make them better than ever before. The Hallowe’en party given at the home of Carrie Newton on Hallowe’en night was the biggest social event of the fall term. The large attic was attractively decorated and all kinds of fun were provided and delicious refreshments were served. Invitations were extended to the alumnae and several other guests, all of whom had a very spooky but delightful time. Judging by the shrieks and yells that issued from the attic, it may be truly said that the party was a howling success. Much credit is due to the president, Beatrice Masterson, and Miss Brunet, the sponsor, for their willing help, and for the successful achievements of the past year, as it is only through their help that the club has earned the wonderful name that it holds in Main Avenue.

On March 13, the club was the guest of the president, Robert Lee Rhea, at a party given at his home. The day after the Inter-scholastic Contest, the debaters and declaimers were entertained with a surprise picnic in the form of a weiner roast, given by the Philomatheans and the Congressmen combined. At the close of the school year, the annual farewell banquet was given in honor of the incoming and outgoing officers.

It has continued to grow bigger ever year since its formation, but the past year has surpassed all others in its accomplishments. The club members started by breaking the record held by the Haynes every since their organization. Up until that time, every entertainment given by the club had been strictly a stag affair. The previous clubs had looked upon this as a distinction, but this year’s looked upon it as a disgrace and decided to break the bonds. After a fight, the weaker members of the club were overpowered, and the next social affair saw the erstwhile debaters playing the role of escort to members of the fairer sex. Thus the old order changed and a long kept record fell. When the time came to choose Main’s boy representatives against Brackenridge in debate and declamation, the committee chose all from the Havnes, the debators being Herman Pollack and Ferdinand Herman and the declaimer, Eli Goldstein. .Ferdinand Herman also won the inter-club declamation. While all other clubs were following the old routine and electing Halls of Fame, the Haynes decided to be original and to describe their members under the heading, “Hall of Shame”. This included such offices as Club Shriek”, “Most Conceited Boy”, and “Boy with the Sickliest Grin”. There are certain coveted offices that every high school boy would like to fill, and of these the Haynes members have a large share. These include Winston Young, President of the Student Council, Jack Matthews, Editor of the Annual. Meredith Engel, Editor of the Huisache, Hal Fields, Treasurer of the T.II. S.P.A., Harry Otto Fischer, Sports Editor of the Huisache, Beverly Kennon, Chief of the Reportorial Staff of the 1920 Huisache.

A number of the honor pupils of the school are among the many prominent members. The outstanding business accomplishment of the club was the paying off of a large debt. Two years ago the club put on a play that was considered the best ever given at Main. The play was a success that far, but resulted in the huge debt which has hampered the progress of the club. However, this year the club erased the debt by hard work, and following this began work on the Phil Vaudeville act. Much talent was displayed and they received good applause. The help Miss Brawner gave to the club and the hearty co-operation oi President Ansley and the members helped put the club back where it was a few years ago. Social affairs, selling of tickets for outside plays presented in Main, paying of a huge debt, co-operating with other clubs, and acting in the Phil Vaudeville, and taking a page in the El Sombrero Annual go to make up what the Jeffs call a successful year.

The play given lhi year wa- After the Game”, coached by Miss Myna Robertson. It was well advertised and drew a large crowd at both performances. At the beginning of the first term, the club had a picnic at Camp Warnecke, New Braunfels. It was enjoyed by all, especially the new members, who were introduced and brought into the club at this occasion. After Christmas, a luncheon was given at the Original Mexican Restaurant, followed by a theater party at the Majestic Theater. The initiation of the new members was held during the middle of the first term. All anyone knows about it is that all the stores were selling fly-paper. The entire club took part in their act in the Phil Vaudeville, “The Clown Show”, which was well received and drew a good share of the applause. During the football season, the club attended several of the games in a body. The sponsor, Mr. Tatum, and the efficient set of officers should be complimented on the way in which they have come through the year-—with colors flying and success on every hand. The club also thanks Miss 1 laden for the help she rendered in staging “After the Game”.

Meetings were held regularly at the homes of the members. Programs were planned for every meeting, which included Latin puzzles, Latin cross-word puzzles, Latin songs and games. Appropriate prizes with Latin names were given to the winners. The annual May-day breakfast was given by the Juniors to the seniors of the department. The menu was printed in Latin. Beside having a year of social activities, the club indulged in many worth-while tilings which helped the school and the city. During the State Teachers’ Convention held here in November, the members of the club made posters, which were borrowed by the local schools and those of Brownsville. Place-cards, luncheon-table decorations, and transportation for the visitors were furnished by members of the club. The Latin Tournament, which was held here was participated in by chosen members of the club and was strongly supported by the rest. During the week of the tournament, a Latin newspaper was published by the members of the class, containing jokes, stories and news concerning Latin and its interests.

One Hundred Forty Art “Though ire I ravel the world over to find the beautiful we must have it with us or we find it not.’’—Ralph Waldo Emerson. Art is not just an empty work, a lifeless subject, or a theory. It is not found only in wonderful galleries, or just in the homes of the wealthy; beauty surrounds us all the time—it is life. Art gives balance to our living, and creative art is tlie result of the fulfilment of the common needs of humanity. It has recently been predicted that America will be the center of the Art Renaissance of the world. Art and appreciation of the beautiful has become necessary to the commercial and industrial world and it cannot but make a happier nation if individuals are surrounded with beautiful objects of every day use. Then too, the man who can make, is happier than the man who merely possesses-------one creates, the other can only acquire and lose. Art training is very valuable for it teaches appreciation, taste and discrimination and is a great element for civic betterment. A knowledge of art illumines and beautifies truth and quickness and enriches many interests. “All great truths are lost unless they are linked up with beauty.” We realize that education includes the development of the heart and spirit; that right feeling in addition to right thinking is essential to right being. “Whatever a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” What is he, if he thinks no beauty and how shall he think beauty if he does not know what beauty is and where it is and whence it pomes ?

Besides being serious-minded and hard-working throughout the year, the Girl Reserves had many social events and other activities. The Dad and Daughter Banquet was held. A trip to Camp Idlewild at Comfort, Texas, and numerous hikes, sunrise breakfasts, swimming parties and suppers were enjoyed and added interest to the year’s activities. The efficient sponsors and set of officers were largely responsible for the full calendar of the Girl Reserves and should be commended highly for their efficiency.

They organized with officers on December IS, 15)24. The main purpose is to introduce and give elementary training in modern advertising for students who are interested in that line of work. The first activity of interest was an advertising campaign, conducted by the Club for the purpose of arousing interest in the Slay den Essay Contest. Another event of note in which the Ad Club took part was the advertising of the Georgette -Players. Programs were often given at the weekly meetings. Several interesting and instructive talks were given by prominent advertisers of the city during the year. On March 9, the club became affiliated with the Advertising Club of San Antonio. The chief social event was in the form of a party given at the home of the sponsor, Miss Gohmert. They also entered an act in the Phil Vaudeville.

At the beginning of the second term, the membership was extended to the entire school, and the club voted that only those who had made a nine or above, the previous quarter, and who had the recommendation of the teacher, would be admitted. It was also a prerequisite that the pupil must have had geometry. A program was planned for each meeting. The club studied the lives of Pythagoras, the noted Greek mathematician. Euclid, and others. At times, a special talk by some noted outside speaker was given. At the end of the first term, a luncheon was given at which there was a large attendance. At one time, another mathematics class was invited in and pronounced the club to be highly interesting and educational. Mrs. Bolton has put forward every effort to make this club a success and has succeeded well as shown by the large roll of the club and by the interest of the members. One Hundred Forty-seven • FSStE ANN N, - C-, fflmt jornsO V « P«C totKT fOML NO QoeW-V HtRYU MMVE ■ VJN UWVS FIELDS Journalism Club « a small class of English Students gathered together at the beginning lJ of the September semester, the journalism class has increased so in numbers and became so efficient that before the end of the first term the class was writing most of the “lluisaehc” news, and also, when the principal saw the fine work done by the class, he raised the course from one half credit subject to a whole credit. Increasing interest in journalism has also accompanied the class’ expansion. Along with the task of filling the “Iluisache’s” columns, the class studied the lives of Joseph Pulitzer, Talcott Williams, and Horace Greely, three of America’s greatest journalists. Readings in “A Course in Journalistic Writing” by G. M. Hyde and “Writing for Print” by H. P. Harrington were also conducted at intervals during the year. However, the year’s work has not been all labor, for socials have frequently interrupted the class’ restless search for news. A Hallowe’en party, at which ghosts, ice cream pumpkins, and candy played the leading roles, was held during the first semester. St. Patrick’s Day was duly celebrated with a social which kept the students busy writing Irish limericks and electing a hall of fame, which singled out the members of the school and faculty having a bit of Irish in their personality. Yet sociability and frivolity failed to have any demoralizing effect on the journalists, for they accomplished many praiseworthy tasks during the year. One of the outstanding ones accomplished was the successful writing and publishing of a paper for the San Antonio Night Schools. The extreme difficulty of this work was due to the fact that the students were placed in a new and unfamiliar field, where they were to detect, gather, and write interesting articles on comparatively dry subjects. They completed this task, however, with their usual spirit of service and self-sacrifice. The students’ interest in their work was shown when they organized under the name of the Main Avenue High School Press Club. At different times during the school year, meetings were held in which interesting programs were given. A chart was also prepared, showing the amount of material contributed by each member to the “Iluisache” each week. Looking back over the accomplishments of the year 1924-1925, the students of Main Avenue’s first journalism class may feel proud of their achievements. One Hundred Forty-nine OOKM 3 .

Before that time cadet corps had been established in a few colleges, but were not recognized by the government as units from which to draw army officers in case of emergency. The Act of 1916 provided for instructors, equipment, and clothing to be furnished by the government. In turn the cadets were to accept a commission in the Officers Reserve Corps, if they came up to the requirements. The government of the United States, yearly grants commissions to 7000 students. These students have come up to all the requirements and have signified their willingness to act in case of a national emergency. The community looks up to the youths that have accepted training from the government, for it knows that the youth that has prepared himself to defend this country will also defend and uphoid the honor of his community. The Reserve Officers Training Corps unit was established in Main Avenue, September 14, 1924. At present, the Battalion consists of 18 commissioned officers, 32 non-commissioned officers, and 171 privates. That the pick of the male students belong to the R. O. T. C. has been proved by the high standards One Hundred Fifty-seven Top Row Rice, Wentz, Harris, Bauman, Ross, Erwin, Hearst, Wedemeyer, Rogers. Bottom Row—Lt.

Their pride in their school, Battalion, and company has become unconquerable. Mistakes arc used as a stepping stone to do better things. The community calls upon the cadet corps for special duty during nearly every convention. Outside schools, such as grade schools, etc., also call upon the Battalion for men when any responsible work is to be done that can not be handled by their own students. The school authorities in Main Avenue eall upon them for guard duty, police duty, office work and auditorium duty. All of these offices have to be performed in addition to their regular military duties. The Battalion has been equipped with all modern rifles, automatic rifles, and other equipment. With the aid of these they completed all the problems on minor and major military tactics that were assigned to them. This has called for extra duty and extra class work from the officers but they have responded in a manner that would make the most particular of commandants satisfied. The men have looked up to their officers for their instructions, and have carried them cut to the best of their ability, and that has made them the bfcst Battalion in the city. The entire Battalion, consisting of four companies, the drum and bugle corps, and the staff, were the guests of the Elks at a formal dance. They have participated in four parades, and have taken part in two conventions. All honors that they have won, the knowledge that they have gained of military science and tactics, they attribute to Lieutenant John L. Hill, who has given them the best that any officer could.

Auto Shop §r The Auto Repair Shop has grown from a mere handful of boys and a meager supply of tools and equipment into a first class, modern garage with some forty boys who work with garage equipment of the newest type. Two very competent instructors are in charge, Mr. C. W. Peavey and Mr. T. H. Carow. The shop takes care of jobs which make it a successful competitor, as far as skill and efficiency are concerned, with commercial shops. The shop is organized somewhat differently this year from what it had been in the past, in that, in addition to the related mathematics and drawing, the boys are now given a special course in related English. Their English consists of reading and making reports on articles read in the automotive magazines and auto-repair texts, thereby not only helping them in written and spoken English but One Hundred Fifty nine Auto Shop (Concluded) al$o making them better mechanics. They are also given business English, letter writing and sentence structure, etc., the subject matter of which is related to their trade. There are two courses under the Smith-IIughes Law, day-trade and part-time auto repair. The day-trade classes are composed of those boys new in the shop. Three hours each day are spent in the shop and three devoted to the study of the related subjects, English, drawing, and mathematics. These boys spend all of the time at school. The part-time classes consist of the boys who have served as day-trade students and who have satisfied the instructors that they are capable of holding a position in a down town garage. The day-trade course usually takes from one to one and a half years, but it depends entirely upon the individual boy whether he can finish the course in a shorter time. The boys who are put on the part-time positions spend two weeks in school and then two weeks on a down-town job. There are two boys assigned to each job so that one can be in school while the other is working. At the end of two weeks they alternate positions. In this way, the boys put into effect the practical knowledge that they have gained and at the same time they are earning from five to twelve and fifteen dollars a week. At the end of three years a certificate is given the student which grants him credit toward his four-year apprenticeship. In the accompanying picture the frame of a truck can be seen. This is being built for the School Board from units of other cars. A Reo engine and transmission, noted for endurance and accessibility, an International truck frame and a Republic rear end are being used in making it. When completed the truck will have a carrying capacity of two tons, and a value of approximately $1200. It will cost the small sum of $350. All the automitive work is being done by boys in the shops, and the body is being built by the boys taking mill work. The Auto Shop, too, has its class organization, the officers of which are Tom Pulliam, president; Ben Brown, vice-president; and Doyle Powers, secretary-treasu rer.

Athletic Council w ■ (] N the fall of the year 1924 an Athletic Council was organic J i .cd in Main Avenue High School. Mr. Griesenbeck, coach for the boys was elected chairman; and Miss Cole, director of girls’ athletics, was elected to fill the position of secretary. The other members of the Athletic Council are: Lt. Hill, Mr. Ivey, Mr. Scarborough, and Mr. Reed. This council was placed in full charge of all athletics in Main. They arranged all of the games for the various teams, and took charge of the ticket collections and sale at the gates. The Council, after some discussion, decided that suitable trophies should be awarded to all winning teams. One Hundred Sixty-three General Summary of Athletic Season w w cmux defeated all her opponents in football by a large score, until J L Austin High School destroyed her hopes for the state title on October •51. Main played Brackenridge on Armistice Day but could not hold the terrific drives of her opponents, after Peacock had been carried off the field with a fractured leg. The boys’ basket ball team, which was the best turned out in recent years, won the championship of the Northern Loop of the Academic League without the loss of a single game. When Main played Brackenridge for the right to represent San Antonio, in the Texas Interseholastic League, she lost both games, which, however, were fast and well-played. I ndcr Miss Ruby Cole, director of girls' athletics. Main's first girls’ basket ball team developed into a strong five which won the !irls’ City League championship. It defeated Main’s traditional rival by the one-sided score of 53-21. Leroy Gunn and “Pop” Meyers served as coaches to one of the best track teams Main has ever produced. The success of the team in the city meet, despite the illness of Captain Floyd Cordova, indicates that the prospects in district and state meets are exceptionally good. In twelve events Main captured nine first places and seven second places. Among those deserving special credit are Herbert Crowell, L. A. Kerr, Lee Phillips and Walter Will. The prospects of the baseball team, under the leadership of Sam Dwyer and coaching of Mr. “Tim” Griesenbeck, for the ensuing year are especially fine. All members of the team have been doing excellent work in practice. Until the present, the tennis team has played two matches. The freshmen of the University of Texas defeated Main in five of nine matches played. Main had an easy victory over the St. Mary’s Academy. Directed by Coach Scarborough, the Main Avenue golf team has had partial success this year. Main won one of the two matches with Austin High School. She lost the first, played in San Antonio, by a score of 6-3, and won the second, played in Austin, by a score of 8-7.
