CITY’S MARCH TOem WARD PROGRESS,- -WE HUMBLY DEDka CATE THIS VOLUME The H ridge Side Front, FMain 'Building Administration Main Avenue High Fifty Years Ago TIIE year of 1929 marks the fiftieth anniversary of Main Avenue High School. Not at first, however, was it located on its present site, nor did it have its present name. Many changes have occurred since the year 1879. At that time the high school was operated in conjunction with the old Central school where all grades were housed under one roof. It soon became apparent, however, that there would be a distinct advantage in separating the higher from the lower classes. Accordingly, the former were transferred to the old Fireman’s llall on Broadway, where, remaining until they outgrew these quarters they were then moved to the old Temple Bethel at Jefferson and Travis Streets. This building also proving inadequate, a further move was made to the old government barracks building which stood at that time in the rear of the old Mahncke Hotel, the present site of the Gunter. In these old barracks, the pupils continued until in the early eighties when the new structure on Main Avenue was erected. When the high school pupils moved in, there were only enough of them to fill the third floor, but they were highly content to think that they were through with rented buildings and at last owned their own home. Much has happened since then. Although in 1929 Main has three buildings at its service, it is stiM faced with the problem of what to do with its incoming freshmen. That question may bo answered by the building of a newer and more pretentious edifice located on another spot to the north of the city. To Main IIigii’s Senior Class : The student, above all others, has an opportunity to serve his country. “We delight to honor courage, but it is questionable whether the most distinguished services of our country’s generals a re to be compared with the services of her scholars.” Nations that have attained pre-eminence in many lines of industry have always done so as the result of scholarship. Hence iho good scholar may well be the good patriot. Pane te Dear Students: That great American, Theodore Roosevelt, once said: “Greatness comes only to those who seek not to avoid obstacles, but to overcome them.’’ I have come to believe that the idea that the student should not be required to do much of anyhing he doesn’t like is all wrong. This idea emphasizes one’s likes and dislikes instead of emphasizing work. Rig things in the world are accomplished by work. Actual work is done through determination to finish the job. Some people are under the impression that an education enables one to go through the world without work. One of the fundamentals of an education is to teach boys and girls not only to work but to work hard, intelligently and cheerfully. Main Avenue High School has endeavored to teach you the fundamental work habits necessary for success in life. It is now up to you individually to go out in the world and write your names upon the tablets of time. I feel sure you will accomplish great deeds. Yours truly, Principal, Page 28 You are expecting:, I know, to win “big:” success when your boyhood is past, your education finished, and your grown-up life-work begrun. The four corner-stones which you must lay for such future success are vigorous health, a fair measure of intellect, .a reliable moral character, and habitual energy. These furnish the essential foundation. To build on them a highly successful career in this crowded and competitive age, you must possess and utilize a thoroughly trained mind and a winning personality. Both of these are essential to big success and abounding happiness. Both of them must be acquired in your youth, when both mind and personal character are still in the plastic and formative stage. The costly machinery of our school system, working through your parents, teachers, textbooks, and school buildings, are all devoted to giving you that highly valuable mind-training which we call your education. The opportunity to get valuable life training has been offered you in Main, and we hope that you have taken advantage of it. Faithfully yours, Vice-Principal. Page Dear Students: To you, members of the Class of 1020, I extend congratulations for your past accomplishments and offer my best wishes for the future. It is my hope that the knowledge you have acquired and the experiences you have had in high school may serve as a firm foundation upon which you may build securely as the years go by. Life out of school you will find very similar to life in school. Success will be attained only when interest and energy are put forth. Though you may change vour aim from time to time, may you always keep a steady purpose before you. And may you have the ability, the energy, and the courage to accomplish all that your hearts desire. Sincerely yours, 2 Dean of Girls. I’nge 25 Frederick Abbott, Public Speaking State Teachers’ College; Southwestern University. Miss Edna Allbm, English B. A., M.

Page 95 The Cactus God made Him a garden with greatest care And planted therein His flowers fair Roses and lilies and dainty violets blue, And flowers of every shape and hue. He looked it o’er and thought it well But found no place in it to dwell. For the cactus with its spiny leaf That when anyone touched it came to grief. So He went to the desert, it to place And the lonely wayside was the place, But He touched its heart with His love untold And what blossoms rare it did unfold. So let us remember, as our life we go thru, There may be briers, quite a few, But when God touches our hearts with His wondrous love The blossoms we bear are from above. —Jen tone Skelton, ’30.

When at last so tired and weary she grew, She begun to look for her bonnet blue. Searched everywhere, all over the ground. Alas! As nowhere could it be found, Her tears, like raindrops, fell to the ground And the fairies heard the faintest sound. So quickly they came and touched her face. And where each teardrop fe'l. came in its place The tiniest bonnet of azure blue That lifts up its little head to you. The little princess looked and heard them say: “Won’t you come again every day and play, For, you see, we’ve bonnets and enough to spare, And if you’ll give us your loving care We’ll promise never to go away, But have bonnets enough for you each day.” So that is how, my children dear, The bluebonnets found their way to us. Jen h’ose Shelton.

Hast December, it won second place in the contest held at Belton by the Texas High School Press Association. At the first of the year, there was little done except the taking of pictures of seniors, juniors, and club members. The staff gave an assembly to arouse the interest of the students. Later there was a vigorous club sales contest in which all the clubs took an active part; the Shakespeares finally won the free page in the annual with the Mark Twains. a close second.

A ships, the Main Avenue Huisache took first place in the Texas High School Press Association, held at Baylor College, Belton, December 14 and 15, 1928. The Huisache won the banner for the best edited newspaper in Texas among schools with more than 500 students. The paper also won the Houston Post-Dispatch loving cup for the best all-around newspaper in the State. The Huisache has grown from a four-column paper to a seven-column paper. The three journalism classes, sponsored by Mr. Roy O. Hatley, gather the news and elect the staff. It belongs to four press associations: The Texas High School Press Association, The Columbia Scholastic Press Association, The National Scholastic Press Association, and the Texas I liter scholastic League Press Conference; and has a chapter of Quill and Scroll, national honor society for high school journalists, of which Mr. Hatley is sponsor.

At that time Robert Lee Rhea was editor-in-chief and Margaret Ilaymore, associate editor. The Houston Post trophy, awarded to the best Texas high school newspaper, sponsored by the Texas Interseholastic Press Association, was won by the Ilui-sachc in 1924-1925, 1926-1927, and 1928-1929. Editors for these three years were John Edwin Canadav and Dorothy llrenner; Then Turner and Helen Harding; Betty Wendover and Mary Younes. Sponsors were Miss Ella Stone, 1924-25, 1926-27; and Roy 0. Hatley, 1928-29. The three blankets were won in 1924, 1926, and 1928 in the Texas High School Press Association contest, held annually at Baylor College, Belton. They were offered to the best city high school newspaper in Texas. The framed certificate in the picture was issued by the National Scholastic Press Association of the University of Minnesota, awarding the Iluisache an all American rating and Pacemaker as one of the best newspapers in the United States in 1928. El Sombrero, the annual of Main Avenue, has always been awarded a place in the All-American group of yearbooks sponsored by the National Scholastic Press Association at Minnesota. During the year 1927 and 1928 it was rated Pace-Maker and in 1927 took first place in its group. In the contest held by the Texas High School Press Association at Belton, it has ranked second place for the last four years, the first being won, during that time, by Brackenridge High School, San Antonio. Page 112 Activities Page US miiliiil Combined Orchestra THE possibilities of a combined high school orchestra were first realized by Mr. Otto Zoeller when he became a member of the San Antonio school system four years ago. This plan of merging the high school orchestras proved a great success for, from it, many honors were brought to the school. One was the winning of the state contest at Belton for three successive years. During the past year, the orchestra has been more successful in playing programs outside of school than ever before in its history. Last summer it was .kept busy with the San Antonio Civic Opera Company, which it accompanied at every performance, of the two operas presented during the season. Then followed a rapid succession of civic club luncheon programs, church and school programs. The last important performance of the season was the concert given with Mr. Ernest Hauser and other artists at the Main Avenue Auditorium. This concert was given for the purpose of raising funds for sending delegates to the Southwestern High School Orchestra. The orchestra has also enjoyed quite a number of social affairs. No member of the orchestra will ever forget the party held last year at the home of Dick Neal nor the one given by Mary Elizabeth Griffin at the Officers Club at Camp Normoyle. This year, sixteen students from the combined orchestra will play in the Southwestern High School Orchestra, meeting at Wichita, Kansas. This is a much larger number than that of last year, but if those students do as well as the first four did, the combined orchestra will continue to hold its reputation as one of the leading high school orchestras in the United States. Page m Texas Independence Day Assembly THE annual assembly commemorating the day on which our Texas forefathers declared their independence from Mexico, was held this year on Friday, March 1. The theme of the assembly was the patriotism of an older day, when Texas was under the rule of Mexico, and the patriotism of the modern day, when Texas is a part of the United States. Frances Briggs had charge of the program and introduced the speakers. First, Tom McNeil made a short talk on Texas independence, and what it means to us. He emphasized the point that if Texas had not fought so bravely, one of the forty-eight stars would now be missing from the Vnied States flag, and Texas would still belong to Mexico. The second speaker, Dora Snively, told of the Alamo and of how it became the “Cradle of Texas Liberty” because of the patriotism and determination of its defenders. At the conclusion of this talk, the audience rose and sang “The Eyes of Texas” accompanied by the band. She described again the heroism of Bowie and made vivid the bravery of Travis and bis valiant band. The boys of the R.O.T.C. drill team then marched upon the stage and cleverly formed a living Alamo. Out of the door of this Alamo, the sponsors filed and formed lines on either side while all sang “The Stars and Stripes Forever .Toe Bronson appealed to the students to come to the competitive drill to be held on Saturday among the R.O.T.C. units of T.M.I., Brackenridge, and Main Avenue, to support their team and to help the boys make good. “The Star-Spangled Banner”, sung by the audience, then brought the program to a fitting close. Page It5 The National Honor Society for Secondary Schools Main Avenue High School Chapter THE Main Avenue High School Chapter of the Honor Society is composed oi those students who have a high standing in scholarship, have an excellent record of school service, show remarkable qualities of leadership, and display a character above the average.

Since that time, the custom of having an annual banquet has been established. According to custom, this year the Seventh Annual Banquet was held. Four honored guests, Mr. T. Guy Rogers, vice-principal, Miss Frances Smith, dean of girls, Mr. Howard Doolittle, instructor of civics, and Jack Kirie, last year's president, were present. Arthur Walz, the president of the council this year, acted as toastmaster. The theme of the toasts being “The Cherry Tree”, each part of the tree represented one of the many and various activities of the council. The banquet was held in room 110, which had been decorated in accordance with the spirit of the occasion. Red and white crepe paper was used throughout, and the Main Avenue blanket and pennant, the Student Council pennant and a large American flag were hung on the walls. On the tables, which had been placed end to end to form a large letter M, were placed three baskets of white candy tufts. A red bow tied to the handle of each basket completed the color scheme. At the head of the tables in the light of seven candles, stood a magnificent cake, decorated with candy hatchets and covered with vari-colored candies, a handiwork of the cooking classes. To cut this beautiful cake, the council’s attractive vice-president, Dorothy Lee Krueger, was chosen. The program was well balanced and beautifully carried out, ranging from the reading of jingles about each person to music and dancing; the spirit of Washington’s birthday prevailed throughout. The cake being cut. the last course ended, and final toasts given, the photographer caught the above picture just before the guests departed. After the presentation of candy hatchets to the sophomores, the members left, many never again to be present at the annual banquet, and the rest looking forward in high spirits to the eighth annual banquet in 1930.

Eakeley. Declamation and Debate The annual city Interscholastic Literary Contest between Main and Bracken-ridge was held on March 15, 1929, at the Main Avenue High School auditorium. Lanier Ilalton, the girl declaimer for Main, gave “The Unknown Speaker. “The Imaginary Speech of John Adams” was given by Oscar Spitz, the boy declaimer. Carl Flaxman, extemporaneous speaker, gave a splendid talk on “The Kellogg Peace Pact”. The subject for debate was “Resolved: That the English Cabinet method of legislation is more efficient in England than the American Committee system is in the United States”. The boys’ debating team, composed of Malcolm Fraser and Joe McHaney, took the negative and the affirmative side was taken by the girls, Dora Snively and Francis Briggs. Milton Lerman was alternate for the boys’ team and Dora Lewis McVea for the girls’ team. The declaimers were coached by Mr. Frederick Abbott, of the Public Speaking Department, while the debaters and extemporaneous speaker were coached by Miss Constance Douglas. Much enthusiasm and interest in the contest was shown by both Main and Brackenridge and the contestants were very thorough and exacting in their work, bringing due credit to Main.

Work began at once under the able leadership of the president, Arthur Walz. and the sponsor, Miss O’Neil.

On November 8th, Oth, and 10th, the Student Council sponsored the performance of the moving-picture The Bat. The money raised in the selling of tickets was used by the council to help the school throughout the year. The council followed the noble example of previous councils in visiting the Base Hospital on Armistice Day and taking flowers, books, and magazines to the soldiers. The field was decorated for the various football games by Student Council members, and the decorations for the Main-Brackcnridge game this year were more elaborate than ever. Color Day, the day preceding the Main-Brackenridge game, was again an important event at Main. Every one wore red and white, and the council sold reel and white pom-poms, arm-bands, pennants, caps, booster-badges, and Beat Bracken ridge stickers.

As Main defeated Braekenridge in basket ball, the members of the basket ball team were also given badges and ribbons. An outstanding activity of the Student Council was the Christmas Cheer Work. L. 1). Middleton and Kleanora McOchec, who were in charge of the work this year, achieved a great success. At mid-term, this organization again proved its efficiency by checking in and re-issuing state text books in a highly business-like manner. The council also issued the book covers to the advisories.

It then consisted of twenty members. The Main Avenue band was under the leadership of Tom Harris and under him won the first band competition from Brackenridge on April 9, 1927. That hand was reorganized under Jerome Zoellcr. Many contests were won, but the competition with Brackenridge was lost the next spring. The band, already an established unit of the high school R.O.T.C., formed again in the fall of 1928 with Sam Janecek drum-major and Douglas Ragland capt.-commander. Brackenridge won from the band, the John Philip Sousa cup and the annual competition. The band is recognized as a necessary part of Main Avenue and is annually growing in members and ability.

Though T.M.I. and Brackenridge carried off the honors this year at Garrett Field, our boys are to be complimented on their fighting spirit, for they fought to the end.

With this victory still fresh in their minds, the (Yimson warriors defeated Fredericksburg 6-0, and trampled Corpus Christi to a 31-0 tune. Leaving the home hunting grounds, the Bisons won over the Laredo High School team 34-6. Next, the Crimsons put Austin High out of the league race with a 47-0 score. In this game, the spin play became famous. Of the only three passes tried, all were completed for touchdowns. As a chaser to these victories, the Buffs downed Alamo Heights 19-0. The first Main pass in this game was also completed for a touchdown, making what is believed to be a record of four consecutive passes, ranging from 35 to 55 yards, being completed for scores. As a final appetizer for the Buff-Eagle tilt, the Crimsons crushed the San Antonio Junior College 29-0. Then came the day of the big game. With a 90-yard Eagle run hanging like an ill omen over their heads, the Crimsons, flashing out in their usual form, turned the tide of battle.

Brackenridge’s backs, who have been drawn in by Klein, are turning to Bardwell. Bob “Radio” Michel.—Bob seems to have a radio telling him how to “bust up” a play, for he certainly does this job to a finish. Marcie “Mau C” Garrett—‘' Man C” was seen by all when he dashed around end, or went down under a punt. King “Tiny” Hall—“Tiny’s” bulk at guard strengthens the Buff line and weakens the opposing team, for “Tiny” is not so small. Lucien “Speed” Ui.emer—When Lueien starts to go, and when he starts to stop are two things. He is justly famous for his dives through the line. .Toe Spiegee—Joe is another brawny linesman. His specialty is crashing through an offense. And the ones he crashes stay crashed. Jess “Beevii.ee” Atkins—Husky Jess, the “Beeville Bucaneer”, has been the cause of many a bruised opponent from his position at guard. Klein spins through Alamo Heights secondary defense on a forty yard run for touchdown. Jim “Slime” Bradford—When Jim wants to go through a line, he Joes- lienee the cognomen. Peter “Arty” Ciiuoke—Long and rangy is Peter. Many an opposing tackle has bitten off more of this “Arty” Chuoke than he can chew. Dki.ma “Sum” Tasto—Slim by name and slim by nature is this end. but when he wraps himself around a pass and starts going—! Jim “Cowboy” Bush—Instead of a rope and “six-gun”, Jim depends on muscle and pluck to take him where he is headed. L. B. “Sloppy” Mills—That’s what they call him, but his playing is anything but that. Eddie “(Iiuts” Collins—“Grits” may not love girls, but Eddie has the grit to plough through a defense. After a gain, Bardwell is downed by two Alamo Heights tacklers in Main’s 19-0 defeat of Alamo Heights. Page J93 Frank “Wop” Rodriguez—Frank runs high, wide, and handsome, and when he starts, he keeps going. Ray “Wolf” Booth—Mighty lak’ a wolf is Ray at times—when there is need to he. From the Crimson line he has proved able to show his teeth. Edward “Brutus” Rkiciiardt—To Eddie, all teams but the Buffs were “Caesars”. Unfortunately, Eddie was put out for keeps at the beginning of the year. Edgar “Eskimo” Klein—“The man of a thousand nicknames.” Folks called him a “Galloping Ghost”, and a “Spinning Demon”— all of which is true. Gordon Alexander—This lads ability to do plain and fancy running has often aided Main in her march to victory. With Klein and Jordt leading interference, Bardwell starts on a sixty yard run for a touchdown in the Main-Bracken ridge game. George “Talien” Fcsskll—A stellar linesman, whose ability as a loader has been recognized. Charles Flash ” Bardwell—C h a r 1 i e is Main's Jackrabbit, whose speedy legs have flashed toward a score out of many a bad tangle. William “Army” Campbell—To Bill, football is ‘‘the old army game”. His plunges with the pigskin fairly sizzle. Joe ‘‘Indian Pena—Like the Indian of olden days, Joe is lithe and fast. His scalps are the helmets of players who try to stop him. Dick “Climax” Edwards—Big Dick caps the well-known climax—likewise the scales. And how that boy can pile up a line! Atkins removes an Alamo Heights back out of Collins’ path, Collins cutting in through the opening. ■■Hi “Billygoats” BUTTING their way through a very successful pigskin season, Coach Cecil Burnett’s Main High Billygoats started the hall rolling by defeating Irving with a 14-0 score. In the next game, the Billygoats stamped Mark Twain 21-0. Leaving the home town, they tied with the Crystal'City High School team in a 0-0 game. Fighting off the jinx of the last scoreless tilt, the Buffalo juniors crushed the Los Angeles Heights pigskin toters 13-0. The next game, played out of town against Taft, resulted in a 0-0 score. The Lanier team bowed to the Billygoats in a 13-0 game. In the last tilt, the goats met their first defeat at the hands of the Floresville team in a 7-0 game. Summing up the total of the season’s scores, the Billygoats ran up 93 points to their opponents’ 7.

After a bad start, Main Avenue split a two game series with Taft High and crushed the Big Foot and Fredericksburg quintets by decisive scores. The individual star of these games was K. J. Kivlin, who scored almost 18 points per game. The Buffs met with defeat in their next game at the hands of tin V. M. C. A. Triangles, but made up for the loss by trouncing the Roemcr’s City League champs of 1928. The team then went to Houston for a two game series both of which games were lost. Main then played Beaumont but again met defeat by a two point margin. Returning home, the Main team then took vengeance by beating the Special Troops, the 12th Field Artillery, and the 15th Field Artillery. In the first, two games of the city series, Main won over Sidney Lanier by a score of 30-21 and over Bracken ridge by the score of 35-34. The third game was lost to Lanier but the fourth gained from Bracken ridge. The winning of this series gave Main its first city championship. Main then defeated St. Mary's Academy by the score of 25-19. At the District meet at San Marcos.

Main’s championship basket ball team practicing for the district meet held February 23 at San Marcos. The team won not only this meet, but also the bi-district meet at San Antonio. Track ROY COCHRAN’S 1929 Buffalo track squad opened its season with a thrilling meet with the Schreiner .Junior College, at Kerrville, Texas. The meet ended with a 49-56 victory for the collegians. Although defeated, the Buffs showed their power in the running events, copping six out of eight of these. After the initial meet of the season, Main’s track team prepared itself for a second clash, with the University of Texas freshman team. It resulted, however, that the freshman team had among its members, numerous varsity ineligibles, and thus the Crimson thinly-clads were prevented from earning a clean cut victory. Again, in this meet, the Main trackmen showed unusual promise in the middle distance runs. Although there was no official score kept. Main made a very favorable showing against all competitors. Following the two warm-up meets, came the Texas Relays, at which time the Mainites won the meet in the high school division scoring 13 points to San Angelo’s 10, the runner up in the meet. In winning this meet in the high school division, Main placed second in both the medley and one mile relay. The runners in the former event were Captain Herman Grant, Joe DeBona, Archie Fleming, FIRST ROW:—Bedell, Bradford, Ridgeway, Schaeffer, Taylor, Schrimscher, Monzano, Gonzales, McCurdy. Hall, Booth, Gay, Perrenot. SECOND ROW:—Kivlin, Gaffney, Jackson, Fussell, Garrett, Bischel, Castillo, Carnahan, Atkins (Manager). THIRD ROW:—Edwards, Klein, Samuel, Bardwell, Fleming, Captain Grant, McMurtn, Murguia, DeBona, Coach Cochran. and Jimmie MeMunn. Charlie Bardwell replaced DeBona in the mile relay. Edgar Klein won in the shot put, winning a white gold Elgin watch, and Dick Edwards placed third in that event. The following day the trackstcrs competed in the S. M. II. relays at Dallas, where they set a record in the half mile relay, besides tying with San Angelo for the greatest number of points scored in the meet. The relay team, setting the half mile relay record, consisted of Herman (Irant, Charlie Bardwcll. Jimmie MeMunn, and Archie Fleming. In the city track meet, Coach Cochran’s Main Avenue thinly clads trampled Rrackenridgc High School t)8 to 16. The Buffs qualified 27 men for the district meet. At this meet one hundred athletes will come from the ten counties represented to compete in this event. Main has won by large scores for the past nine years and expects to take even more honors this year. FROM LEFT TO RIGHT:—Archie Fleming, Jimmie MeMunn, Marcie Garrett, Herman Grant, Charles Bardwell, Coach Roy Cochran. RELAY TEAM Main Avenue's relay team, captained by Herman Grant and managed by Jess Atkins, has had a most successful season. The team is now in training ro enter the district meet and eventually the state meet. rage 201 THE Main Avenue golf team of the season 1028 and 1029 was eomposed of the following players in order of their rank on the team: Lorainc Young, Edgar O’Quinn, Jack Gugcnheiin, Gerhardt Shriever, John Trueheart, and Joe Clark. The first opposition the team had was Austin High School. This match was played in Austin. Main won easily, taking all hut one of the single matches and all of the foursome matches. The results of the match were as follows: Young defeated James Connley, Austin city champion, four and two; O’Quinn was defeated seven and five, by Grununels; Gugcnheiin defeated Johnson, two and one: Sehriever defeated Walter Connley two up. In the foursome matches Young and O’Quinn defeated Connley and Grummels, four and three. Gugenheim and Sehriever defeated Walter Connley and Johnson, three and two. In the return match with Austin, played in San Antonio, the Main golfers were defeated by one match. Two of the Buffs’ matches went nineteen holes, only to be lost by a bit of bad luck. Young defeated James Connley, three and two. O’Quinn was revenged of his former defeat by beating Grummels, six and five. John Trueheart was defeated on the last hole as was Jack Gugcnheiin. Gerhardt Sehriever was defeated on the nineteenth hole when his opponent made a brilliant birdie three. Clark lost, two and one. Young and O'Quinn defeated Connley and Grummels, four and two. Gugenheim and Sehriever were beaten on the nineteenth hole by Johnson and Connley. Trueheart and Clark won, six and five. Another match with Austin is arranged for the latter part of the season. LEFT TO RIGHT:—Edgar O’Quinn, John Trueheart, Jack Gugenheim, Loraine Young, Gerhardt Shriever. Tennis THE Main Avenue tennis team of 1929, although handicapped by the loss of four lcttermcn from Inst year’s team, proved to he one of the best in the school’s history. Playing seven team matches during the season, the Huff netters emerged victorious in six of them. Austin High defeated the Main racketeers by the close score of seven matches to five for the only loss. To start the year, Main journeyed to Pearsall and chalked up a decisive win. A return match was played on the San Pedro Park Courts, the Huffs winning as easily as before. After the trip to Austin, Yorktown was defeated on the home courts in every match played. James Folbre, first ranking player, and Walter Scott, second, will probably represent Main Avenue in the play against Bracken ridge to decide the representative of San Antonio in the district meet at San Marcos. The team has hopes of winning this match and the district play also, and of playing in the state tournament at Austin. Besides the six veterans, this year’s squad includes a number of promising first and second year men, who should make the 1930 team as successful as the previous one has been. LEFT TO RIGHT:—Gordon Pease (6), Gilmore Gwin (3), Ferd Reese (10), James Folbre (1), Walter Scott (2), Lane Taylor (4), Henry Burney (8), Bill Harris (5), Jordan Cunningham (9), Fred Alter (7). Page 203 Girls’ Basket Ball ALTHOUGH the girls’ basket ball team lost the city championship, the team L cannot be called a failure by any means. Brackenridge walked away with the Buffettes’ first game with a top heavy score of 23 to 10. The team played Alamo Heights in an early season game and won, 18 to 3. The Alamo Heights team was inexperienced but put up a good fight. Alamo Heights did not enter the city league in 1020. The next game was scheduled for Wednesday, but on Main’s arrival at the field the Eagles were not to be seen. The game was therefore forfeited 2 to 0. Brackenridge was aroused at this forfeit and came back to win the third game by the tight score of 22 to 16. This game was the best of all as the fighting spirit of both teams was aroused to its top pitch. Main had 16 to 11 at the half, but Brackenridge fought like demons until the whistle blew, then they were three goals ahead. The starting lineup played all the way through the game and the spirit of co-operation and team-work was splendid. Main Avenue owes the good record of the girls to Miss Virginia Price’s enthusiastic coaching. There were no regulars back, and the coach had to train “green” material into a regular team. The record shows her success.

Paqc 20) Girls’ Soccer Team SOCCER at Main Avenue 11 i«jrh School had a quite successful season in 1028. Although no regulars were back, plenty of candidates came out. The first game with Incarnate Word College was a top-heavy score of 2-0 in their favor. It was merely a practice game, however, and Main came hack next week to tie them 0-0. The next four games were ties also. Two games were later lost to Incarnate Word College and Alamo Heights by 1-0 and 1-0 scores. Both these points were made in the last fifteen minutes of play. Our best game of the season was played with Alamo Heights High School. The score was 1-0 in Main's favor until two minutes of the end. They were then awarded a penalty kick within 20 feet of the goal. A beautiful goal was kicked over the heads of the players to tic the score 1-1. Main owes the success of the soccer team to the untiring efforts of Coach Virginia Price, who trained “green” material to become star players.
