We need to form the habit of public service. The 2 worthwhile citizen must be willing to dedicate a part of his time to the welfare of the nation which makes his success pos. le. A good citizen 's obligation does not l stop with simply obeying the laws d paying his just taxes. He is active in community service. He gives freel of his time and energy in furthering those enterprises that make our city a better place in which to live. An American citizen should be Eager to do something worth while in a nation offering a thrill of amazing growtzh, teeming with possibilities and rich in re- sources. Sueh a heritage would create a desire in the heart of every youth to catch the spirit of this inspiration and participate in his nation 's greatness. i l l :Win A xl Superintendent. .

You should have learned after three years in high school that there are certain things expected of you as an American Uitizen. Uon't forget that a good citizen doesn't go daft on rights and privileges. Just remember there are responsibilities and obligations. There are too many people in the world today who want to boss others. They have never learned to govern themselves. Put your emphasis on your job, not on what you like or dislike. You can 't succeed at any job without hard work. Therefore, I would udmonish you to go out in life and achieve for yourselves and for Main Avenue High School. Faithfully yours.

Men with great characters and high ideals have arisen in every period of history and have shown the world that real nobility comes only from hard tasks that teach courage and from humble surroundings which develop sympathy. It is on these two great traits that character is built. So, remembering this, may you leave Main Avenue High School with lofty ideals and high aspirations. May life itself with its varied experiences bring you the courage and sympathy that will make the world know you are truly descendants of royalty. Let us remember, too, that on each one of us depends the future progress of our state and country and upon each one rests the respon- sibility of teaching our 'tbrother that onlv service to others can make men's lives reflect the true nobility to which so U .my aspire.

History of the Senior Class HE Senior Class of 1928, with Miss Uamille Fourregre and Miss Jessie Rogers as sponsors, held its initial meeting of the year Tuesday, Septem- her 27. Edward Hammond, who was eleeted president at the close of the term last yearg presided. The eleetion of the remaining offieers took plaee at this time. The elass meetings were held every alternate Tuesday after sehool in the auditorium. Very early during the eourse of the year the extremely important question ot' dues was settled. It was deeided that the assessment for the entire year would he one dollar and twenty-five eents. As a means to aid prompt payment, the elass carried on a dues-paying eampaign under the effieient lead- ership of Cora Sehroeders and Arthur Mathis. Both leaders worked eontinuously until the elose ot' the eontest Friday, February 26. at 3:30 o 'eloek. The losing side, that whieh Arthur Mathis eaptained, was obliged to give its yietorious opponents a pienie. lt took plaee on Mareh 24, at Koehler Park and was long afterwards remembered as a most enjoyable affair. At an early meeting in November, a diseussion of the Annual senior earni- val was earried on. The exeeutive staff with the aid of the sponsors presented Page 28 1 1 4 s If ombrero History of the Senior Class tffontinuedj a plan for a carnival different from anything ever put on by any of the former senior classes. The scheme unfolded itself in the form of a circus to be given December 9 at Garrett Field. . The circus was highly advertised, and bright posters were hung in con- spicuous places about the building as well as in the direct vicinity of the school. One of the best assemblies of the year was given to advertise the circus. No circus is com-plete without a queen, and thus Sally of the SaWdust was elected to reign on this joyous occasion. Sally was chosen by penny votes from a list of five candidates who were HametiaiFieldei', Grace Noble, Dorothy Richey, Betty Creech, and Dorothy Menefee. Notices were posted daily in regard to the out-come of the contest. The penny voting continued for three days until its exciting climax, when Grace Noble appeared as the winner. The total amount of money taken in was 2543.86 or Aside from the program, other features of the circus were animals , side-shows, peanuts, pop-corn, pink lemonade, and booths offering various goodies for sale. The clubs in the school were responsible for the operation of the stalls and side-shows as well as for certain acts on the program. School dismissed at 1:00 P. M. on the Big Day and everybody turned out for the circus, although the event was slightly handi-capped by the cold weather. A parade led by Ed. Mattheissen, master of ceremonies, and Grace Noble, Sally of the Sawdustn, began at the school and terminated at the show grounds at Garrett Field. Everywhere was a noisy, bustling crowd surrounded by venders shouting their wares. All over the grounds, girls in attractive riding habits were prancing around upon beautiful mounts. The outstanding one among them all was the charming bareback rider who was none other than Franklin Tarver dressed in fluffy feminine attire. He did look quite handsome, dashing from one end of the field to the other on his milk-white steed with his golden curly locks. The spring activities may be briefly summarized. Elections for the Hall of Fame took place February 20, each senior being allowed one vote for each of the nominees. Our sponsor, Miss Rogers, left at mid-term to be married, and Mrs. Weaver was elected to take her place. An event which will live long in the memories of the seniors was the sunrise picnic given them by the Parent- Teachers' Association. Class Day brought both happy and sad thoughts to the minds of the members of the departing class as it was the last day spent in the halls of Old Main. The senior banquet took place on that same day. The class was brought together once more before graduation at the baccalaureate service which was beautiful in its simplicity. The commencement exercises, taking place May 23, served as a most appropriate climax to a successful and brilliant year for the class of 1928. 4 Q l K ,1 , 1, R 's X.

After .atudying the work and funetion ol' the League ol' Notions the students were to write themes on it, first prize being a trip to Europe. 'l'he best written essays were to be sent to Washington where the themes from all over the nation were to be judged. The themes written by Marjorie Warner :md Philip Brown were selected, Z1 fact which made the junior class quite proud sinee one ot' these students was ai member of that class. At the end ot' lllureh a banquet wus held for all the students who entered essays in the eontest. Although this yez1r's junior elass started exceedingly lute, its first meeting being held December 13, it has shown by its zietive membership, its eo-operative spirit, its worthy ehuraeter, and its ull-around sehool spirit that it will make zi senior elnss which Main Avenue will not have euuse to forget. Mueh, however. of the elass' surprising progression and its eureful attention to what is required of it is due to its two sponsors, Miss Marguerite Perez and Mrs. North, who have worked with the class in every way and have sueeeeded in making an junior elziss of distinction.

The contestants were enter- tained at a luncheon and afterwards were taken to a picture show. These two entertainments were followed by a track meet and banquet, at which a very entertaining program was given. The announcement of the winners and the awarding of the prizes were perhaps the most interesting of the numbers on the program. Zula VVil1i.ams of Main Avenue, won first place in Cicero, while Lawrence Walker won second place. Main Avenue won first place in Cicero school prize and second place in the Caesar school prize. Gilmore Lawrence won second place in Caesar and third place in the January beginners in the school prizeg Helen Engelking won third place in Cicero essay. It is interesting to note that of the seven perfect papers, two were from Main Avenue. In order to award places the judges were forced to count minute mistakesg such as, long marks and accents. I The Latin Tournaments have now become an institution, this tournament being thc fourth consecutive one. Two of them have been held in the Main Avenue High School and last yearls tournament was held in the Austin High School. They are a source of much pleasure and pride to the Latin Students of the state. FIR53' IEOW:-William Connor, Wilbur Tyte, James Folbre, Gilmore Gwinn, Lawrence a er.

A select group from this orchestra has won the state honor for the last two years at the lnterscholastic Music Meet held at Baylor College, Belton, Texas. The students played a number of concerts during the year 1927-28. They played twice for the Little Theatre presentations, for school day program at the Texas Theatre, a week's prologue at the Aztec Theatre last May, and a re- quested conccrt at t'omfort and New Braunfels, Texas. It also appeared before the Kiwanis and Lions clubs. The 1928 orchestra had social as well as musical functions, holding their socials at the home of Carl Geyer. A banquet, complimenting the orchestra was given April 23, by Mr. Zoeller at the Original Mexican Restaurant. Shortly before this, Mr. Zoeller took four of the members to Chicago to try out for places in the National High School Orchestra of three hundred pieces.

The work on the animal in 1928 began in Oetober. ln November an as- sembly was given by the staff in order to arouse among the students, interest in their year book. The most important undertaking before January. exeept. perhaps, the taking of the seniors, pietures, was the inter-elnb sales eampaign put, on by Minnie Varl, eireulation manager. The prize for the organization selling the most eopies was a free page in the annual, and the elubs entered into this eontest. with sueh vigor and sueh real earnestness that the winner, the Mark Twain Club, won by only a few sales. That this eontest was a great sueeess is proved by the fact that six hundred eopies were sold, a number whieh was one hundred greater than that of the preceding year. In the baekground but, nevertheless, present. has been the work of the business staff, headed by Mrs. DePue and Arthur Mathis, who have been eon- tinually selling ads and in other ways making the publishing otf this book pos- sible. And may it be stated here that the sueeess of this book is due in a large measure to the merehants and business men of San Antonio who have helped materially in its ereation.

Sponsor IIE FUNDAMENTAL object of the Student Council of 1927-1928 was that of upholding the traditions of the organization and introducing mo1'e new ideas. Under the leadership of Jack Ririe as president, and the new spon- sors, Miss U'Neil and Miss Huey, the council immediately went to work. An order of new stationery was received, and a differently designed booster badge was introduced. The Main Avenue stickers left over from last year were sold by sticker campaigns. The Council had so successfully taken care of traffic management, police duty, and information desk duty in former years that the work was continued.

Page 13.4 The Student Council -Con tina-ed At mid-term, speakers from the Council were sent to the junior schools to welcome the graduates to Main Avenue. Hand books explaining the subjects and activities to be enjoyed at Main were distributed by eaeh speaker to the members of the in-coming class. A welcoming assembly, sponsored by the Stu- dent tlouneil, was held for the benefit of the freshmen. ,Each of the various organizations in Main was represented by a speaker who told for what his elub stood. One of the outstanding features of this year 's .activities was the inaugura- tion of a Color Day in Main. Each student was asked to wear some redand white on the day preceding the Main-Brackenridge game. Pom-poms were made by the council representatives, as usual, and sold for the annual game. On Armistice Day flowers and books were taken out to the soldiers at the Base Ilospital. After distributing two to each one, the remaining copies were left to start a circulating library for the soldiers. The Council had a large glass show case made for the front hall. The purpose of this case was to provide an opportunity for the various depart- FIRST ROW:-Arthur Guyon, Rose Harpham, Beatrice Gans, Cruz Garza, Nell Ezell, Helen Farwell, Lucille Fite, Edward Hammond.

Each department had charge of it for a week at a time, the exhibits causing a great deal of interest among the students. The biggest project of the council was the introduction of the new school seal. The drawing turned in by the president was accepted as Main's new emb- lem, the new stationery featuring it. After Main's triumph over Brackenridgc in football, victory badges with the score and a buffalo's head on them were given to each member of the squad. New arm bands and caps were sold by the Council members. This year, as usual, the organization took charge of the Fhristmas Pheer work. lt was handled very successfully by Carter Berry and Emily Murray with the help of the entire school, which entered into this work heartily and carried it to successful close. Un l ebruary 21, 1928, the Student Council held their annual banquet in 1'oom 110. Minnie Carl planned the entire affair with the help of a program committee consisting of Beatrice Gans, Rosetta Samuels, and Opal Ridge.

On January 20, 1928, the Council entertained the Parent-Teachers' Association with a play entitled The Down- fall of Brutus. Mr. Eakeley complimented the council on bringing more mothers to this meeting than had ever before attended a gathering. As the Student Council of 1927-1928 ends its term, it is proud indeed to have a few words from Mr. Eakeley to carry with it. Ile says that lie wants to compliment this yearls Council on its seriousness and its earnestness. He especially complimented the members on the fact that they wasted no time in getting down to business. The members of the Student Council hope that the Council ol' 1928-1929 will have as inueh success as has this year's Student Council. Every activity of Main Avenue High School which was undertaken by the Council proved a great success. A great deal of the success of the Student Council was due to the wonder- ful co-operation ot' both sponsors and lIlQll1lJOI'S. 1 FIRST ROW:-Dorothy Richey, Sylvia Roseman, Cora Lee Rowe, Rosetta Samuels, Adele Sehroeders, Emile Schafer, Florence Sheppard, Orby Sides, SECOND ROW:-Mary Slawson, Ruth Turner, Vivian Vieweger, Richard Vetters, Albert Vrooman, Arthur Walz, Betty Wendover, Edward Wildman, Virginia Wiseman.

For entertainment 'tCa1np ldlewilde holds our interest during the sum- mer. Sorne of the most popular things we enjoy there are hunting, swimming, hiking, picnics, and parties. A camp paper, also, is worked up and published by the girls. Our council suppers, held annually, are quite a treat. Brackenridge and Alamo Heights schools participate too, each taking turn in planning the sup- per and party. Miss Malone, Mary Elizabeth Mann, Jane Rice, Helen Farwell, Tillye Braun, Julia Kutschenreuter, Nell Gilmer, Sara Lee Cretin, and Miss Mary Carnahan of the Y. W. C.

This was taken care ol' hy Anna liee Richard- son, Sylvia Roseman, and Kelly Watscmii. To say these girls worked like Tro- jans would he no exaggeration, oi' which fact no greater proof could he offered than the winning of the eontest by the Mark Twain Uluh. The success of the fish pond which this club placed in the Senior Uireus was due to the work of Wayne Etheridge, Ruth Turner, Zula VViIliams, Anna liee Richardson. and Martha Grothaus. Following this was a hanquet which the club held on the Plaza Roof and still later a program put on l'or the Parent- Teaehers' Association. Although not actually on the El Sombrero sta tt' two ot' the Mark Twain members, Sylvia Roseman, and Martha Grothaus, did a great deal ot' work for the annual and thus showed in another way the type of girls who are Mark Twains. Throughout the year the club enjoyed a series of soefal meetings, and these they held at the homes of Ruth Turner, Geraldine Townsend, and Josephine Raphael. So as the 1927-28 term drew to a close, the school realized the impor- tant part, played hy the Mark Twain Uluh in its life, and the club, itself, re- flected that under the unselfish guidance of Mr. deliurgos it had succeeded in making this school ye-ar, a year of live progress and worth while aeeomplishments.

The club is 'first and most successful dance was held February 11, at the home of Lillian 0'Neil. This the members and invited guests enjoyed thoroughly. At the end of the 'fall semester, new members were initiated, and a banquet and a theatre party were given in their honor. For a few days during March, Main Avenue seemed a setting for Shakespearean and other famous plays. This year the Dramatics required their pledges to wear costumes of Portia, Audrey, Pollyanna, and Sadie Thompson, speaking no other words than lines from the plays from which they were taken. This was the first initiationtof its kind in Main Avenue and was apparently a unique one among clubs all over the coun- try. The Drainatics try to support the school in everything they undertake, and enter whole-heartedly into any work that they are asked to do. The members took a, personal interest in the annual selling contest, and succeeded in conduct- ing a booth at the Senior Circus. ln adhering to its original purpose of studying living playwrights and gaining greater familiarity with current dramatic productions, the Club has been under the efficient leadership of Miss Constance Douglas and Mr. F. Ah- lmott. The members feel that the greater portion ofthe club 's success has bce11 due to the efforts of these sponsors.

During the week of May 28, to June 6, the club appeared before the Biennial Convention of Womens' Clubs at the Municipal Auditorium. In recognition of its good work in furthering high standards in school music, the club has been granted a group membership in the Tuesday Musical Club, of which Mrs. Eli Hertzberg, well known patroness of the Fine Arts, is life presi- dent. Past president Ellen Frances Frizzell was elected by the club as its rep- resentative. In addition, active president, Martha Fischer was selected to per- sonal membership in the Junior 'Tuesday Musical Club. The Glee Club intends to continue its splendid work during future years. lt, is fortunate in possessing a leader and sponsor who is always alert and ready for anything that will bring success to the club. The members wish to express their sincerest appreciation for Mr. de llurgos' diligent labor in bringing their talent before many organizations of the city, who surely, welcome such aid with heartiest sincerity. i FIRST ROW:-Georgia.

During April a picnic was given in honor of Miss Mary Elizabeth Carr, the sponsor, and Miss Mary NValtball, the clubls little mascot. Un May 3rd the Haynes again entertained their sponsor and mascot with a dinner dance on the St. Anthony roof. 'l'he first three weeks in April were given over, as formerly, to practice in the art ol' debating. This is done every year to discover new talent 'and to line up the teams for the coming year's inter-club contest. The members are confi- dent that next term 's activities will be as successfully carried out as the preced- ing ones. In adliering' to its original purpose of serving as a social organization for those interested in debating and promoting the science and art of' debating among its members and among Main Avenue students, the club feels that it has been ol' benefit not only to those who compose it, but to the school as well. Much of the success is due to Miss Mary Elizabeth Farr. thc sponsor, and the club wishes to take this opportunity to thank her l'or all she has done to make the name ol' the llayne llebatingr Society 'l'amous.

Before formal programs, social gatherings are held in the form of banquet sessions. Talks upon such subjects as Reconsccration,,' Personal Work, Vocational Guidance, Thrift, Christian Citizenship, HLeadership, and a series of Bible lessons were part of the program for the year. Joint meetings of all the Hi-Y clubs in the city are held monthly. Every time at these meetings, except one, the club received the payment for having the most members present. Mr. Grover C. Good, the state secretary of Hi-Y clubs, Mr. Erate, and many others interested in the development of Hi-Y ideals talked at the gatherings. At the Older Boys Conference of Southwest Texas, which met at A it M. College in February, the local club was honored by having its parliamentarian, Jack Ririe, made secretary of the largest district organization. The San An- tonio representatives were proud to find that their city has the largest at- tendance at the conference. The Hi-Y continued an active membership drive throughtout the year. Its ranks were depleted by the loss of so many seniors last year. Now, however, it has a large group of alert, active, and enthusiastic members.

These programs eontain interesting talks on eharaeter, leadership, and business prineiples, and are given mainly by members ot' the elub from the business English, law, and publie speaking elasses. Thus. the members of the elub eorrelate their work with their sc-hool work. Many pleasant hours have been spent by the members at the soeial gatherings. Devoting some time to play and some time to work and study, the l'ommereial Ulub goes on, always striving to build higher and better upon the t'oundation of eonnnereial ideals. 'l'he elub wishes to take this opportunity to thank Miss Gohmert, its sponsor, for her most instruetive and helpful adviee. Due to her untiring efforts and to her supervision. our elub is fast beeoming one of the important elubs of Main Avenue Iligh Sehool. 'l'he interest taken in our elub by our sponsor is very deeply appreeiated. And the members of the elub who are graduating this year hope sineerely that the elub next year will aeeomplish as many things worth while, and stand for as high an ideal as did the l'ommereial l'lub in 1928.

Prlgc 160 Pythagorean Math Club A social function. was held every month, by special invitation, at the home of one ot' the members. In addition, programs were given monthly at the regular meetings, thus making it possible for the members to enjoy many instructive hours. The topics to be given at these meetings were decided upon by the pro- gram committee at the beginning of the year. At the senior circus the Pythagoreans had a fortune-telling booth, which was a big success in every way, due to Miss Oliver 's diligent work as Madame 7.a.zu. This booth attracted a large crowd, many even standing in line for the privilege of having their fortunes told. The club gave a banquet in the cafeteria immediately after the Christmas holidays. Everyone had a thoroughly delightful time, and the members resolved to try to have a similar luncheon next year. The Pythagorean Club feels that a great deal has been accomplished in the tive years of its existence, especially during the preceding year. With two such able sponsors as Mrs. Bolton and Mr. Thomas, who have labored so untiringly, it would be practically impossible not to make everything attempted a huge success.

Every meeting this season has been overflowing with interest. 'l'he name for the elub, ''Hispano-Amerieano , was adopted in 1927. No name would have been more appropriate to designate an organization whose prineipal objeet is to ereate a mutual understanding among the people of this great eountry and those of the twenty Spanish speaking republics, south of the Rio Grande. 'l'he elub was eompletely re-organized in September, 1926. Meetings were then held every two weeks during the sehool term, but now they oeeur every Vllednesday. All sessions of the elub are eondueted in Spanish and English. Soeial meetings are held throughout the year. Programs which usually deal with Mexican or Latin-Ameriean topies are well prepared by the program eommittee. The elub pin is very appropriate sinee it has a small. golden insignia with the map ot the Vnited States and Latin-Ameriea in relief, and the name of the elub around the map. The elub eolors are blaek and orange. 'l'he elub seeured material for the library from llentral and South Alneriea ineluding Mexieo. A number of good books are to be bought by the elub. One program was made espeeially interesting by a leeture given by Mr. Ruiz, a prominent lawyer ot' San Antonio, on Edueation in Mexieow.

Page 164 Arehimedeau Seieuee Club The programs for the year have been up to the standard of exeellenee set in previous years. The demonstration of seientifie subjects have proved very entertaining and instruetive. One of the most interesting was a leeture by Mr. May on The Sun and His Family and Some of His Near Neighborsn. A demonstration, The Uartesian Dineru, by Ilan Hissner was also highly enter- taining. So great was the interest in the aetivities of the elub that. it beeame neeessary to amend the eonstitution so as to limit the number of members to forty. The first exeursion of the year was a visit to Robber Baron 's Cave. Under the leadership of a guide, the members of the elub explored several thousand 'feet of underground eaverns and studied the geologic formations. The Spring trip was made to the Gutzeit raneh in the hills for the purpose oi' studying geography, botany, and astronomy. An annual initiation party was given at the home of Rogers Smith, whose mother gave the members the freedom of the house and eontributed largely to the sueeess of the oeeasion. In elosing the history of the Arehimedean Club for 1928, it should be stated that the members are deeply indebted to Mr. May for the time and trouble he has taken that the elub might be outstanding.

Some of the required funds were received from a very successful Latin exhibit of Roman figures carved out of soap. Une of the most important activities of the year was the peanut and popcorn stand which the members operated at the Senior Circus. In giving the proceeds to the senior class, the club demonstrated its usual fine school spirit. Following the example set in former years, a luncheon was given last April in honor of those members who took part in the Latin Tournament and in the essay contest. The club is justly proud of them, for each year they have suc- ceeded in capturing some of the prizes offered. Another important event was the annual picnic given as a compliment to the graduating members of the club. There are many who eall 1928 their last year at Main Avenue, and they wish to take this opportunity of thanking the club and its sponsors, Miss Pearl West and Miss Morgan, for the many pleasant hours the organization has made possible for them to enjoy. The group of contestants who took part in the Latin Tournament held on April 13 at San Marcos consisted of the following: Cicero, Caesar, Zula Williams, Lawrence Walker.

That this chorus won the prize awarded to the best act in the circus was due, greatly, to the hard work and tireless training of Grace Noble. who was elected to coach the chorus. On December 17th the club put on a rummage sale on Main Plaza in order to raise funds for the Christmas Cheer work. All the members brought used clothing and articles which could be soldg in this way the club raised five dollars for its poor family. The Shakespeares feel proud that so many of their members were elected to the Hall of Fame. Arline Arter, the president, was elected queen of Main Avenueg Dorothy Menefec, most beautiful girly Dorothy Richey, most popular girlg lflmma Fox, biggest talker girl, and Edith Black, hardest-working girl. The Shakespeare Spring Dance, which was given near the end of the term, terminated what was perhaps the most progressive year ot' the Shakespeare Club. The members realize fully that the great success of their undertakings was largely due to the cheerful and untiring work of their sponsor, Miss Brunet., Her un- selfishncss in giving a great deal of her time to the carrying out of the club's activities has been heartily appreciated by the members, and they wish to express their thanks for her exhaustless efforts toward making the Shakespeare Club one of the outstanding organizations in Main Avenue.

After journcying to the hills to tic the Tivy lligh of Kerrville the Crimsons carrie back and defeated T. M. I. 13-0 on Garrett Field. Then, with nearly all thc first string on the sick list and with Captain Pipkin at home due to tonsilitis, the Crimsons lost a game to the Buccaneers in Vorpus Vhristi due to bad judgment of a punt. Next they bowed tothe power ful Tyson coached eleven from Waco, 36-0. As an appetizer for this defeat the baby member of the city race, Alamo Heights, defeated them 6-2. The newly named Buffaloes found themselves and flashed their best brand of football in turning back the Lobos from San Marcos, 6-0. The Temple Wildcats then dc fcated them 30-0 and this was followed by a stinging defeat at the hands of Austin lligb, due to a questionable decision which raised much comment Ill local 'football circles. . , N .

Billygoats HIS squad was composed of youngsters who were either ineligible or not seasoned enough for the regular team. Some forty of them turned out at the beginning of the season and stayed out all year. These fellows were used as cannon-fodder for the first team but, on more than one occasion, turned the tables and took the first string into camp during practice sessions. When the regular squad is picked next September many Billygoats of the '27 team will appear in the starting line-ups. Edgar Klein was the outstanding star of the second squad. He was good on the offense but his best work was on the defense. Klein was under every play, and incidentally, he was the only Billygoat to score a touchdown during the whole season. Jerome Loranee was the right hand man to Klein. Although handicapped .,.fwfi1ff2 . life 1 -Wmwg I V' .

Golf FTER a year of inactivity, the Buffalo niblick wielders more than made up for last year. Out of ive matches played, the team won four and lost one. ' , A I ,l The first match of the season was played with the Karnes City Southwest Texas champions. The Buffs won easily despite the high reputation of the country team. The next game was played with the Brackenridge Caddies and resulted in another Bison victory. This was one of the hardest fought matches of the season. Two of the matches were played with Junior College. The college lads put up a stubborn fight in the first game but the second resulted in a complete runaway for the Buffaloes. The Buffs lost only two twosomes in the second match. I if P IW The only loss of the season was due to the wonderful playing of the Austin High School Marooms. The Marooms won by only one match.

Worth, where they set a new record in the mile relay. John Henry set a new record in the 110 yard high hurdles. The other members of the team stayed at home and won out in a large meet at Harlandale The following week the thinly eladsn went to Austin for the Texas relay games and won first place in the high school class. The relay teams eomposed ot' Henry, Luckett, Grant, and McMunn in the half mileg and Henrv, McMunn and Fleming in the mile, set a new relay mark in the former and a new state mark in the latter. The time in the mile relay missed the world's record by one tenth of a second. John Henry again set a new mark in the 110 yard high hurdles.

A dual meet was held with Austin High School, and the Main Avenue tracksters captured all but one first place. The mile relay. team unofficially tied the world's record in this race and set anew state mark. In the district meet held at San Marcos, the Buffaloes easily won first place by scoring a total of sixty-six and a half points. John Henry set. a new record in the 220 yard low hurdles, and Worth Luckett set a new record in the 220 yard dash. As was expected, the relay teams had no trouble at all and Walked away with first place. On April 21, the half-mile and mile relay teams will journey to Lawrence, Kansas to enter the Kansas relays. McMunn, Fleming, Grant, Luckett, and Henry will make the trip. The remainder of the squad will enter St. Mary 'S San Jacinto meet to be held at St. Mary 's University. On April 28, the Bisons will travel to A. 8: M. College for the A. 85 M. games. The following week-end will send the team to the state meet. Indications point to the winning of the mythical state title which should rest easily in Main Avenue, for the team of '28 has very few rivals. It is a well balanced squad, composed of boys who are willing to work and who have made their team one of the best the school has produced. . sa .fax Q N . 4,1 -If -ei' . g..,'. as Paye 191 IIN 'HTXR LEFT T0 RIGHT:-Fred Fielder 141, Clayton White 151, Lane Taylor 161, Bernard Goldburg 111: Conn Milburn 1Captain1 121, Walter Scott 181, Henry Burney 1101: Gilmore Gwinn 171, Billy Negley 191, Fred Alter 1171. Tennis S HAS always been the custom in Main, tennis enjoyed its usual successful season. Although six players from last year 's team had been lost through graduation, a flock of new material from the junior high schools saved the dayf' The first match was played with Pearsall' and resulted in a victory for the Buffalo nettcrs. 'The flashy drives of the Buffs proved too much for the country lads. Junior College was taken on next and out of the fifteen played with them. Main Avenue lost only four. The Buffs lost their only two team matches to the San Antonio Country Club and Austin High School. In the city meet with Brackenridge, James Folbre of Main won the singles from Roy Moody 2-6, 6-4, 6-15 and Anna Mae Reichart of Main won from Annie Shores 6-1, 6-0. In the doubles, Bernard Goldburg and James Folbre of Main lost to Charles Flynn and Roy Moody of Brackenridge 6-3, 7-5. In the district meet, James Folbre and Anna Mae Reichart each won the district title and added two more cups to their collection. Both of these players will enter the state meet in May and will probably repeat their triumph of last season. Anna Mae is now state singles champion.
