There is little difference. During school days and after, life’s chief activities are working, playing and being worthy citizens. I hope you have found, or have made good progress in finding, the job that will be yours through life. I hope you can take advantage of all opportunities for developing your aptitudes to the limit. But this develop merit will depend chiefly on your own efforts. You should have discovered the value of play—of worthy use of your leisure time. I liope you will continue to discover and to use wise ways of renewing your spirit—of finding recreation. I hope you have come to realize your obligations as citizens and that you will always want in public positions those who are best fitted to serve. May you all achieve success and happiness! To the 1930 Graduating Class: This High School affords to every student an opportunity to make those contacts which will result in stimulation and growth. All thinking reflects experience. The wider and more representative one’s experiences the more probably will one think accurately and the more surely will sound judgments be reached. “As an architect creates new design from a knowledge of classic structures, so do we create new ideas from an accumulation of individual experience.’’ Supervisor. Page 16 To the 1930 Graduates: Tolerant understanding and creative expression are two goals of modern education. To help you students develop to the highest possible point all your individual powers,— your total personality, fs the more direct aim of our school. You are now entering upon a fuller experience and may your foundations formed in Main Avenue Senior School, based on our educational aims, prove sufficiently stable to erect the structure of a full and successful life on. Principal. To Main Avenue High School 1930 Graduates: There are many things you learn in high school not found in text books nor actually taught as lessons in the class room, and which are not of minor importance. Among these are certain good habits that will always be valuable to you. The habit of punctuality is one. Respect for constituted authority is another. The habit of doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do is still another. Main Avenue is respected for its many achievements in the fields of athletics, for ensics, journalism, and scholarship. But the characteristics that stamp you as students to whom Main Avenue can point with pride do not grow out of these alone. In addition to the above mentioned accomplishments, we feel that you as individuals have learned to be courteous, to be good sportsmen, to be tolerant, to be honest. You will never regret practicing these things not altogether learned in a book. cJ Vice-Principal. To Our Dean In varying grades of linens clothed, they come— Seeking aid for some perplexing thought Of tears or gladness wrought; They go—content. Maid after maid: of mansion and of slum, Baring each youthful heart to tell The complexity of the outer shell On its mission spent Begs at the humble—noble shrine Wherein each wearied soul may rest, Knowing its haven blessed With peace divine. The saint—fair guardian of the place— Lifts each load the greater grown For having had its soreness stoned And draped in teary lace And, bidding each maid meet trouble with a smile, Invites her to that cool secluded nook Like some great, broad-leafed book To share her soul awhile. The saint a mother is to all who come her way; Her hands are mother hands; her heart Knows naught of earthly counterpart. And we who beg of her are but ignoble clay.

Senior Farewell These, then, are our last few moments here In which to bid a fond farewell Or spend in silent reverie! Often, from a distance, we have wondered How the summit breeze would feel And whether we would be sad at leaving. Now—now it is bewildering— A feeling of we know not what That holds us spellbound. Afraid to speak lest joy of victory Or tears of sheer sadness of departure Overcome us and hamper The excellent front we are trying to show. This, then, is the maddening surge of love And loyalty that nauseates us With its swiftness and ever increasing power. Making us know as we’ve never known before What it means to sever intangible ties! What folly to have been so innocent Of it all before this last hour!

Senior Farewell This, then, is the tower of Hope We’ve been climbing toward These eleven years past. The glorious dream we’ve known in the building All of our lives! What sheer, miraculous victory for a moment. This, then, is the death and the birth Of a milestone loved for the beauty It has revealed, sighed over for the agonies Of youthful remorse that are embedded within it. But we must not talk of it now! We must cover our tears with outward frivolity. Our tongue, our hands forbid us say what we have known, somehow we must Sometime impart. Hear then with knowing ears and softened heart What we must pour into one sweet, half-sobbed half-shouted word— Farewell! —Catherine K. Whit mar. Page 29 ADAMS, FRANCES. College; Pep Squad.

Page 51 History of the Graduating Class of 1930 THE Senior Class of 1930 hold its first meeting September 17, in the school auditorium, under the direction of the class sponsors, Mrs. Ethel West Weaver and Miss Mattie Brooks, nominations for the various offices being made on that day. At the close of the election the following Tuesday, it was found that Frank Kehoc was to lead the class during the ensuing year. It was decided that the meetings would he held every alternate Tuesday in the auditorium. The activities and preparations connected with the Senior Carnival began as early as October 22. with the appointment of Elliott Hovel as General Manager. This carnival was conspicuous in the history of Main in that all the details were carefully planned at least six weeks before the carnival was to come off. This called for much hard work and quite a sacrifice of time upon the part of the class sponsors, the president, the general manager of the carnival, and the heads of the various committees. The publicity given by the Huisache. the posters hung in the hallways throughout the school, and a most unusual Senior Carnival assembly, which took the form of a burlesque radio broadcast, contributed materially to its success. The various characters connected with the Senior Fair were presented and the need of a 100% attendance by the school was emphasized by “Guest Radio Announcer”—Matthews Smith; also, at this time the entrants in the Beau and Belle contest were introduced to the school. One of the notable features of the year’s Senior Carnival was the team work and co-operation shown throughout by the entire student body, the clubs, and the faculty, the school going over 100% in ticket sales. Finally, after weeks of anticipation on the part of the entire school, the FATEFUL DAY arrived. During the first hour and a half the club booths collected more than $213.00. The program in the auditorium under the direction of Dick Elliott. Master of Ceremonies, delighted the crowd and to cap the climax. VIC TXSIRILO leader of the Texas Theater Stage Band, gave a few of his tantalizing trumpet solos. At the end of the show, the winners of the Beau and Belle contest. Gu« Levy and Marie Dotson, were introduced. Two other innovations made by our class were the decision to have a COURT OF FAME instead of the proverbial HALL OF FAME and the adoption of caps and gowns for commencement. The fine spirit of the class was shown by the fact that almost $200.00 was collected in dues before the beginning of the campaign proper under the efficient direction of Henry B. Barnes, Treasurer, with the results all that could be expected. In the late Spring commencement festivities began with the annual Junior-Senior entertainment given in honor of the seniors, the Parent-Teacher Association’s annual social and the Class Day exercises in our own auditorium, followed by the Senior Banquet and the theater party. With the joint baccalaureate sermon on May twenty-fifth and the commencement exercises on May twenty-eighth, both at the Municipal Auditorium, our careers as seniors came to an end, and we became full-fledged graduates of our Alma Mater. Juniors The Junior Class of 1930 THE aim of tlie Junior ('lass of 1930 has been to make a name for itself that will be permanently established on the pages of Main Avenue history. It was with this goal in mind that the class under the able and spirited direction of its president, Joe MeHaney, in conjunction with the sponsors. Misses Stein and Hinton, made its achievements. One of the outstanding pieces of work that the class achieved was the selection of a permanent Senior Class ring. The members of the class illustrated the spirit of co-operation when they won by a large percentage the Annual sales contest between the Junior and Sophomore classes of this year. The class also sponsored an unusual and attractive booth, decorated with Spanish moss and autumn leaves, at the Senior Fair. Homemade cookies were sold by the members in the booth. Besides the entertainment given to the Seniors, the class also decorated the annual float representing Main Avenue in the Battle of Flowers Parade during the Fiesta week. ROW ONE:—Joe MeHaney, President; Katherine Kern. Vice-President; Mary Margaret Haring, Secretary; John Harding, Treasurer. ROW TWO:—Emily Coleman, Parliamentarian; Shirley Linnartz, Reporter; Ben Shaver, Sgt.-at-Arms; Miss Hinton, Sponsor.

Putting over such a project meant that the class would have to organize. A meeting was held, and the following officers were elected for the year 1929-20: Henry Graham..........................President Rufe Bynum........................Vice-Presidenf Betty Swallow.........................Secretary Richard Reynolds......................Treasurer Sea willow Haltom......................Reporter Helen Rose Compton....................Historian The Annual responsibility was carried out successfully, and over half the members of tin class have pictures in the 1920 annual. The next class project was the Senior Carnival booth. The Sophomores’ booth represented Mother Goose Land and won second place in the contest. We have been very successful in our first undertaking and hope to accomplish much more in the future. FIRST ROW:—Henry Graham, Rule Bynum, Betty Swallow, Miss Brewer.

You pause on tho threshold of your school days To meditate with tear-filled eyes. Some will continue their quest for truth. I f you but knew, it is everywhere. Some will find happiness in the business world. Others will prosper in the field of art. Harbor no thought of failure. Just try, success will come. Remember—life is but a battle. To win it, fight with heart and soul — Fight for fame, for right and truth, Be of courage—know not fear. This will bring you just reward. Your victory will be glorious, noble. First we must dream, then we must act, Both are essential. Neglect not action, the more important. Dreams do not compose your Garden of Fame. The most beautiful rose will not be plucked Until your dreams mature. You step to 1 he other side, diploma in hand. Your eyes look onward, your heads are up. Proud Juniors com? forward to take your places. May they fill them just as well. We, the Sophomores, can but watch with longing eyes. Watch—and wish you fame and success. Washington’s Birthday Banquet EVERY year on the anniversary of George Washington’s birthday, it is customary for the Student Council to hold this annual banquet. According to custom, this year the eighth annual banquet was held in room 110 on Thursday, February 20, 1030. Five honored guests, Mr. T. Guy Rogers, principal; A. J. Ivey, viceprincipal ; Miss Fiances Smith, dean of girls; Mr. Howard Doolittle, instructor of civics and former president of the Council; and Jack Ririe, president of the Council in ’28 were present. Fred Alter, president of the Council for this year, acted as toastmaster, the theme of the toasts being “Crossing the Delaware”. Each phase of this historical incident represented one of the many and various activities of the Council. The banquet-room was beautifully decorated in accordance with the spirit of the occassion. The Main Avenue blanket and pennant, the Student Council pennant, the Texas flag and a large American flag were, hung on the walls. On the tables, which were placed in the form of a large M, were bowls of unique berries in colors of red, white, and blue with long streamers of green foliage. The table decorations were completed by long tapers in silver candlesticks. At the head table stood a beautifully decorated cake with the images of Martha and George Washington in vari-colored icings. According to custom Marie Dotson, vice-president of the Council, cut the cake. A program of musical solos, readings, and dances furnished entertainment for those present. Impressive taps were sounded while the guests turned toward the west in memory of the Father of Our Country. The banquet proved to be a success, and the members can look back in the future on the delightful time that they had at this annual event of the Student Council. Boys’ Glee Club FOR the first time in a number of years the Music Department of Main Avenue High School has introduced a Boys' Jlee Club as a class subject, accredited for graduation. The Club has been organized for the purpose of enlarging the field of music in the high school. Miss Annis Ator, as sponsor of the club, has endeavored to give the members a definite knowledge of the art of part-singing, also to give them a correct interpretation of songs with which they come in contact daily. It has been interesting to note the wonderful progress which the boys have made in their work. For future activities tentative plans have been made for the Boys’ Glee Club to work in conjunction with the Girls’ Glee Club, which is under the direction of Mr. Francis de Burgos. This will he an interesting development in the Life of Music at Main Avenue High School. Junior Choir THIS Junior Choir, which was founded in 1928 with Mr. Francis de Burgos as director, bears the distinction of being the only Federated Junior Choir in a High School in Texas. Steadily growing in popularity, the choir has appeared on a number of occasions, one of which was at the meeting of the Texas Music Teachers Association in 1928 and 1929. In the Spring of 1929 the Choir gave the feature number of the Glee Club Concert at the Scottish Rite Cathedral. This organization also sang for the meeting of the Second Annual State Church Music Conference of Texas Choir Directors and Church Organists held February 28 to March 1 at Georgetown, Texas. The membership of the Choir is composed of the members of the Glee Club, and all are on the road to make this one of the finest of Main Avenue’s organizations. Page 79 Orchestra IT is interesting to summarize the achievements of the combined high school orchestra since Mr. Otto Zoeller took it in charge five years ago. No one will forget the pride and joy the whole school felt when the orchestra returned as winners for the third time from Belton in 1928, bringing the Silver Loving Cup as our trophy. Nor can the people of San Antonio forget the splendid work done by the young orchestra players when they accompanied the San Antonio Civic Opera Company in several of the operas given bv that organization last year. The San Antonio Symphony Orchestra has been a recent innovation in which Mr. Zoeller combined the high school players with some of the best professional talent of the City. On March 7th, they made their first appearance in a concert at the Municipal Auditorium. The High School Orchestra is to be complimented on the achievement of its members in tlie National High School Orchestra. In 1928 Maud Powell Freeman, Howell Branning, Jerome Zoeller, and Mary Elizabeth Griffis attended the National Orchestra in Chicago; in 1929 sixteen San Antonio students played in the Southwestern High School Orchestra which met in Wichita, Kansas. Last summer Maud Powell Freeman and Alfred Braun attended the National High School Orchestra and Band Camp at Interlochen, Michigan. Maud Powell winning third place in the National try-out of players from 42 states. This year she won the high honor of joint concert master of the National High School Orchestra, which met at Atlantic City, February 27. Oscar Spitz has the honor of being the only member to represent our orchestra in the National Orchestra which will play in Chicago March 28, before the National Conference of Music Supervisors. Several orchestra members are looking forward to the summer camp of 1930 and possibly a trip to Europe in 1931 with the National High School Orchestra. Opportunities for achievement in the High School and National Orchestras make our organization the envy of San Antonio. Senior Carnival ON December 5, the Senior Class presented their annual carnival, which proved to he a great success. The cafeteria was tilled with beautifully decorated booths sponsored hv the various clubs. The Pythagorean Math Club won the prize of five dollars for the prettiest booth. This booth was cleverly decorated with symbols and designs of a geometric nature. The Sophomore class won the second prize, a box of candy, for having the next prettiest booth. The third and fourth prizes were won by the French Club and Mark Twain Club, respectively. The Philomathean Debating Club received the prize of five dollars for turning in the most profits. Boxes of candy were also awarded to the Architectural, Commercial, and Science Clubs for profit turned in. Another feature of the Senior Carnival, the Beau and Belle contest which was won by Gus Levy and Marie Dotson, created much excitement and enthusiasm. A pleasing climax to the carnival was the stage show. With Dick Elliott as master of ceremonies the show proved to he a delightful whirl of music and dance. Florida Edwards presented ten charming dancers in a clever ballet. Lura and Bill Stokes, a clever tap-dancing pair, made their debut on Main Avenue’s stage and danced their way into the hearts of every on-looker. George Whitaker charmed every one with his excellent voice. In the ticket sale the school went well over one hundred percent. The Senior Class cleared more than did any other preceding class. In short, the whole carnival was a success. STANDING:—Raymond Storms, Frances Huddleson, Erin Me Gary, Richard Kennedy, Madeline Levine, Mary Helen Stanford, Myrl Hillmer.

Latin Tournament FOR a period of several years the Latin students of the Main Avenue High school have participated in the Latin Tournament, both to their own enjoyment and to the honor of the school. Always Main Avenue has won a good share of prizes and trophies in the district Tournament centers and also in the state. Our first Latin Tournament participation was in 1026. In that year Main Avenue was hostess to the competing students of the district which extended from Austin to Uvalde and from San Angelo to Brownsville. The students who represented Main Avenue in 1930 went to San Benito for the Latin Tournament which was held April 11. The contestants who won places through elimination examinations were: Vergil, Eleanora McGehee and Richard Kennedy; Cicero, Raymond Storms and Myrl Hilmer; Caesar, Mare Dotson and Phyllis Ellerman; First Year, Clara Ross and Erin McGary. The essay contestants were: Vergil, Frances Huddleson; Cicero, Madeline Levine; Caesar, Lena McLean; First Year, Mary Helen Stanford.

Declamation and Debate THE annual Main-Brackenridge Literary Contest was held on March 21, 11)30, at the Main Avenue High School auditorium. The subject for debate was, Resolved: That the Sterling Plan for financing a state system of highways in Texas should be adopted. The boys' team, composed of Ervin Pollock and Oscar Spitz, upheld the affirmative, and the negative side was taken by the girls, Adele Younes and Dora Lewis McVea. Joe McHaney was alternate for the boys' team, and the Main Avenue boys did excellent work, although they did not receive a favorable decision in the Contest with the Brackenridge boys. Suzanna Taylor, the Main Avenue girl declaimer, and John Cowan, the boy dedaimer, both gave the declamation, “National Apostasy”. (Jus Levy, tin extemporaneous speaker, talked on “The Main Issues in Mexico’s New Criminal Code”. The debators and the extemporaneous speaker were coached by Miss Constance Douglas, who worked faithfully and untiringly with them. Mr. Frederick Abbott coached the declaimers, who brought due credit to Main. All contestants worked hard and upheld the honor of their school in the usual Main Avenue manner, and the contest was proclaimed to be one of the best in the annals of the two high schools.

National Honor Society Continued SINCE scholarship should lx recognized, the Phi Beta Kappa society was organized in our colleges in 1776. In many of our high schools and college preparatory schools similar societies were organized for the individual schools or for a comparatively small group of schools. The first scholarship honor society for secondary schools (Phi Beta Sigma) was founded in 1900 by Dr. William Owen of Chicago Normal College. Many societies sprang up in widely different sections independently and almost simultaneously. Then the idea that a national organization would be more effective came into the minds of many. It was this feeling that prompted the organization of the National Honor Society. In drawing up the constitution, the committee was faced with the necessity of providing an organization broad enough to meet all of the varying needs of such a society. Scholarship only seemed too narrow. After considerable discussion, the com- Pagc 104 FIRST ROW:—Jack Lee, Lewis Lee, Lonnie Leung, Madeline Levine, Hazel Mae Long, Hamilton McClure, Eleanora McGehee SECOND ROW:—Joe McHaney, Thomas Mcllhenny, Burnett Mason, May Graham Matthews, Margaret Mease.

National Honor Society Continued s mil tec fixed upon character, leadership, service, and scholarship. An active member who falls below the standards which were the basis of his election to membership shall be dropped from flu chapter by a majority vote of the faculty, upon recommendation of the council. The Main Avenue chapter of the National Honor Society was organized on April 10, 1924. The Student Council was responsible for the beginning of the chapter. Over seventy-five letters were written to various high schools in the United States asking if any honor organization existed in tin respective schools. Finally the National Honor Society was decided upon. A constitution was framed and sent to the national president. The constitution was approved, and a charter was granted us. Then some plan for initiation had to be chosen. FIRST ROW:—Emily Reichert. George Riebr. Hazel Mae Riley, Rosalie Robinson, Brooks Rogers, Mary Shipley. SECOND ROW:—Arthur Simmang.

National Honor Society Concluded After considering many forms, it was decided to use the ceremony of Tulsa as a model, the only important change made being in the symbols; the Alamo, symbolic of Texas and San Antonio especially, was selected for the symbol of character. The initiation is usually held in a hotel. Twice, when the weather was warm, it was held in the Japanese Sunken Garden in Brackenridge Park. Initiations have been held twice a year, once in February and once in May, but this year only one initiation was held, on March 31, since all the members were elected at one time. It is customary to elect a certain number of Juniors to carry on the organization for the following year. FIRST ROW:—Nadone Allen. Fred Alter. Glenn Beauchamp.

Student Council Continued This organization is a truly representative body, being composed of one representative from each of the several advisories in the school. The Council of ’29-’30 has been very successful in carrying out this purpose. I'nder the leadership of Miss O’Neil, the sponsor, and its very efficient president, Fred Alter, the Council has had a very active year. The work of the Council started on the first day of school, when it took charge of the issuing of the state text books to tin students. This was done not only at the first of school, but also at mid-term and at the close of the spring term. The Information Desk in the hall of the first building is maintained by the Council for the purpose of giving information to new students, as well as to visitors of the school. The Lost and Found Bureau, also under the direction of the Council, takes care of any articles lost about (he school and endeavors to return them to their owners. The traffic in the buildings was under the direction of the chief-of-police, Frank Kehoe, and his successor, Frank Morrison. School stationery was ordered and put on sale, as were also the pennantshaped academic stickers. New athletic stickers and boosters badges were ordered and put on sale during the football season. A standing committee had charge of decorating the field for tin games and carried this out very successfully. Before the Main-Brackenridge game, the Council sponsored the annual Color Day with much success. Booster badges, pennants, arm-bands, ribbons and pom-poms were sold to the students for the occasion. FIRST KOYV:—Joe McHaney, Thomas Mcllhenny, Morris Martin, Margaret Mease, Carolyn Mullinax, Grace Newton, Pat Nixon. SECOND ROW:—Rebecca Noelke, Alice North, Barbara Parker, Charles Pearce, John L. Pridgen. Brooks Rogers, Mary Shipley. Student Council Continued The annual Armistice day pilgrimage to the Base Hospital was organized and carried out by the Council. Books and flowers were taken to the soldiers, and a program was given in the various wards. The Councilors gained as much pleasure in giving this cheer to the veterans as did the men for whom the program was given. These men look forward with great anticipation to this visit and hold extreme admiration for all Main Avenue students. As an example of this fact, one patient has faithfully tended for several years a small plant which was given him by a Main Avenue Councilor. The colored ward was the most demonstrative and applauded with pleasure when the program was presented. The Christmas Cheer work was under the direction of Alice North as chairman. A list of needy families was secured from the Associated Charities, and each advisory agreed to play Santa Claus to one of these. All the advisories responded splendidly, contributing food, toys, and clothes, and many needy families were made happier at Christmas time through their efforts. In February the Council held its traditional banquet on Washington’s birthday. In the spring the Council members made merry at the annual picnic which was held at New Braunfels. Several new projects were undertaken this year, the most outstanding of which were the organizing and printing of the year book and the investigation of the point system. The year books, which were presented to the members at the annual banquet, contain the list of officers, members, and committees for FIRST ROW:—William Sinkin, Margaret Slaymaker. Beverly Smith, Catherine Smith. Raymond Storms, Charles Swanson, Edward Syers. SECOND ROW:—Margaret Upschulte, Charles Van Hunker, June Webb, Sidney Wieder-man, Olive Wiggins, Evelyn Woeltz, Oakley Yantis. Student Council Concluded the entire year. The point system is a very important undertaking which will require much effort to perfect. It is intended to replace the present system of major and minor offices. A large committee was appointed to work upon the project, and letters, asking for information about the point system, were sent to various schools which had already adopted some form of this system. The main object of the point system is to give more students opportunity to participate in various school activities and to present a more equalized condition of extracurricula opportunities. Briefly, each office in the school is valued at a certain number of points; the more exacting the office, the greater the number of points attributed to it. Thus, a person holding the maximum number of points at a certain time would be ineligible for any further office. It is hoped that this system will bring the best of results. It is to Miss O’Neil, its sponsor, that the Council owes much of its success in the past year, and the Council wishes to take this opportunity to express its deep and sincere appreciation of her faithful services. The ambition of the Student Council has been to follow the creed observed by its predecessors, which is as follows: “The Ideal S hident of Main Avenue High School, Makes Good; Aims High; Is Honest; A 'ever Quits; II dps school activities; indulges in chan athletics; Grows intellectually; Honors the name of MAIN.

El Sombrero Staff Concluded THROUGH their extensive efforts, the El Sombrero” staffs of the past six years have secured for Main Avenue a place in the All-American group of the National Scholastic Press Association. With this goal set by our predecessors, the staff of 1929-1930 has striven to achieve the same honor. We hope that when the report comes back in October, 1930, our school will hold as high a rating as heretofore. In order to arouse the enthusiasm of the school, the staff gave an assembly, explaining tin purpose of the annual and the way in which it is made. Early in the school year the staff sponsored an exciting club sales contest, in which ail the clubs took an active part; the Congress Debating club finally won the contest and secured the prize of a free page in the annual. The Shakespeares came in for a close, second. The sales were again forwarded by the inter-class contest between the Juniors and the Sophomores, the Juniors winning over the Sophomores by a close margin. The original art work and the building views were contributed to this volume by Cecile Burgess, Josephine Braun, Lee Jeff Robertson, and Everett Buehel. In the spring, after the round of work was completed, the staff enjoyed a banquet with Mr. and Mrs. Rogers, Mr. and Mi's. Ivey, Mr. and Mrs. DePue, Miss Chadwcll, and Mr. Taliaferro as guests. The members of the staff also held a picnic at New Braunfels, where swimming and other sports were enjoyed. The staff of 1929-1930 wishes to take this opportunity to express its deepest appreciation of the sincere cooperation which our sponsor, Mrs. DePue, has given us.

This qualification of the Hayne Debating Society has been illustrated on the Interscholastic Debate Squad for the past few years. For the last three years a member of the squad has belonged to our Club, and last year both members of the squad were Haynes. The Haynes have taken an active part in school activities and functions every time they have been called upon and have done their best to further the name of Main. This fact is a well known one, because some of the highest student offices are held by Hayne members. Members of the Haynes rank high from a scholastic stand-point. Last year, of the eighteen super-exceptional students at Main Avenue, sixteen were Haynes. One of the latest undertakings of the Club is the assisting in Thrift Banking at Main Avenue. Although Thrift Banking has not yet reached a satisfactory stage, the percent of depositors has increased since this project has been taken over by the Club. The Hayne Debating Society of 1929-1930 has been a success. It has had every quality and advantage to be a success. The Club has had an efficient and responsible staff of officers to carry on its varied activities and a sponsor who was a valuable asset to the club. Therefore, the Ilaync Society of 1929-1930 has lived up to its aged tradition of being one of the best clubs in Main Avenue High School. FIRST ROW:—Francis de Burgos, Nadone Allen, Myra Brennan.

Mark Twain Literary Club Concluded Throughout the year varied and interesting literary and social meetings, arranged by May Graham Matthews and Ivina Gilmore respectively, were held. In October an interesting initiation took place at the home of the club sponsor, Mr. de Burgos. The spring initiation was held in March. The Mark Twains , took charge of a fortune telling booth at the Senior Fair, which booth was ably directed by Catherine Whitmar. In January a luncheon was given at the Plaza Roof for the Senior club members; later in the year the Seniors were again honored by a banquet in the Monger Hotel Patio. During the year several members of the Club have had many honors and distinctions accorded them. Wayne Etheridge, our president, had charge of all annual sales in the inter-club contest held in November. Marie Dotson, club secretary, was president of tin Latin Club, vice-presklent of the Student Council, an R. O. T. C. sponsor, and was chosen belle of the school at the time of the Senior Carnival. Catherine Whitmar was editor-in-chief of the Huisachc. Several Mark Twains are members of the National Honor Society. The Mark Twain Club fee's that its success throughout the year has been due to the untiring efforts of its sponsor, Mr. de Burgos, and its president, Wayne Etheridge, and w'shes to take this opportunity to express its deepest appreciation of their counsel.

The Congress Debating Society Concluded During tlie year 1929-1930, the members of Congress have proven true to their standards. This year the coveted offices of the senior class were filled by members of Congress with only one exception, and that exception was a member of tlie sister club of Congress, the Philomathean Debating Club. Also the annual sale contest, which is perhaps the biggest inter-club contest of the year, was won by Congress by a large percent. Through the help and cooperation of the sponsors, Miss Terrell and Mr. Edwards, Congress was able to achieve a high position in the inter-club debates and to operate an unusual booth at the Senior Pair. (Jus Levy, a member of Congress, and Marie Dotson, a mascot of Congress, won the Beau and Belle contest at this event. Among the social events of the Club year that should not be overlooked are the annual Phil-Congress dance in October, given at the home of Catherine Smith, the dances at the Bonner studio and at the home of John Stephens in November and December, the banquet given in honor of the seniors, and, last but not least, the two initiations at New Braunfels. At this time the Club wishes to express its appreciation for the cooperation of the sponsors, Miss Terrell and Mr. Edwards, the presidents, Elliot Hovel and Gus Levy, and the mascots, Marie Dotson and Jane Craighead.

This Club has grown and prospered from that date to Page 119 FIRST HOW:—Helen Oliver, Margaret Onion, Barbara Parker, Frances Parker, Margaret Patton, Carolyn Perkins, Emily Reichert.

Pbilomathean Debating Club Concluded the present time, and we are proud to sav that ours is one of the strongest organizations in the entire school. The members enjoy both a social and a literary contact in this Club, for we devote one meeting each month to debating. One of the interesting features of the year is the inter-club debates. This year Elizabeth Woodlief and Caroline Perkins won three decisions out of a possible five, winning over the boys of the Haynes and the Congress Clubs. The Phils have enjoyed a round of social events this year, including the annual Phil-Congress Dance, which was held at the home of Catherine Smith. A luncheon was given at the Gunter Hotel in honor of the mid-term graduates and the debaters. The Club always entertains the May graduates with a banquet. Three initiations are held each year, but, according to the “pills”, this can hardly be classed as entertainment. The (Mub has accomplished many things this year. They have ordered stationery for the first time in several years. The Phils won the five dollar prize offered to the club making the largest profit at the Senior Fair. The Club also did its part in the sale of annuals. The Club feels that this year has been a very successful one, due to the cooperation of the officers, members, and the sponsor, Miss Osmon.

IN 1908 the Jeffersonian Literary Society was organized under the direction of M. L. Arnold for the purpose of studying literature and promoting good fellowship among the students. The Club has always taken part in debates and in the social affairs of the school: it has also had a good dance orchestra each year. Membership is limited to forty-five members. In 1929-1930, as in previous years, the Jeffs upheld their good reputation by again taking a prominent part in school activities. A number of its members Page 121 FIRST ROW:—Lewis Lee, Buford Long.

Smith, Charles Swanson, George Whitaker, Melvin Winters, Jack Worthington, Peretz Zeller. held prominent offices, such as the presidency of the Student Council and drum major of the drum and bugle corps. The Jeffs operated an attractive booth at the Senior Fair, where it made a large profit by selling hot dogs. The Club also helped sell annuals during the inter-club contest. In the inter-club debates, the Jeffs won first place and the cup for the second consecutive time. The two teams, which represented the Club, consisted of Erwin Pollock, Richard Hardin, Buford Long, and John Pridgen. The Club’s annual Frolic held this year was one of the most popular entertainments of the school year. Cnder the direction of Dick Elliott the entertainment was the finest ever produced, and under the management of Richard Kennedy proceeds exceeded last year s by more than twenty dollars. I his year the Jeffs added a new feature and decided to entertain with a social meeting once a month. Among the social affairs was a Mexican dinner at the Original Mexican Restaurant and a banquet at the Menger Hotel. The (lub feels that much of its success is due to the untiring work and cheerful cooperation of its sponsor, Miss Brawner, and its presidents, John Pridgen and Buford Long, who have helped to place the Club among the foremost organizations of Main Avenue High School.

At Christmas time a committee carried on the annual cheer work by supplying a grateful family with food and clothing. The members made a second annual pilgrimage to the Protestant Home for the Aged in February, at which time a musical program was given and refreshments were served to the men and women, who seemed to appreciate the kind efforts of the Club to please them. In the latter part of this school year a sport dance was given by the club. The dance will long be remembered as a delightful and joyful occasion. Members of this Club held a number of important positions in the school this year. The members were very proud to claim the girl who has many times led the school in scholastic attainment. A few of the positions are as follows: Queen, Princess of Pulchritude, Lady of Frivolity, Lady of Court Fashion, President of the National Honor Society, three other members of the National Honor Society, Associate Senior Major Sponsor, five other Sponsors of the R.O.T.C., Treasurer of tin Science Club, two Hayne Mascots, two Jeff Mascots, Secretaries of the Junior Class, Latin Club, and Editor-in-Chief of the Iluisache, Student Council, and Treasurer of the Latin Club. Considering all things, the members feel confident that this year has been a very profitable one, and each one of the members has stowed away fond memories of the happy times they enjoyed as a member of this organization.

Beth Pomeroy THE Commercial Club was first introduced in Main Avenue High School in 1927 by Miss Lillie Gohmert, with the object of helping the students to become better acquainted with the commercial world. All students who make a grade of eight in four subjects and who are interested in commercial activities are eligible. This year Mr. T. ( Burnett was chosen associate sponsor. The first social affair of the year, a Halloween party and barn dance, was held in October at the home of Louise Perkins. The color scheme, black and orange, was carried throughout the decorations. The lawn was strung with colored lanterns, which gave it a fantastic appearance. Games suitable for the occasion were played, and the prizes were carried off by Mr. Burnett, Mary Page 129 FIRST ROW:—T. C. Burnett, Hazel Mae Long, Eloise Masterson.

Later in the year a bunco party was given at the home of Marcello Bovy. The home was attractively decorated in green and white, the colors of the Club. Much excitement took place throughout the game. After the game and dancing dainty refreshments were served. The Commercial Inn, decorated in green and white, was a very attractive booth at the Senior Carnival. Hamburgers and soda water were sold. A profit of twenty-three dollars and four cents was realized. The Club was awarded a three pound box of candy for making the third highest profits of any club. This candy was enjoyed by the members of the Club at a social meeting at school. This year the Commercial Club has laid the foundation for a commercial library. The object is to gather all the books and literature possible on commercial activities to aid the students of Main to do their research work on commercial subjects at school. The Commercial Club wishes to take this opportunity to thank Miss (Johmert and Mr. Burnett for their faithful service and willing assistance in all activities that were undertaken by the Club during the year.

Its pin and emblem is a black polygon on a gold star; this was the emblem of the ane'ent Pythagorean Mathematics Club. The purpose ol the Club is to promote an interest in higher mathematics.

They have accumulated thirty-two dollars toward this project. At the Senior Fair the Club had a beautiful cake booth, decorated in black and white; this booth won the first prize of five dollars. The profit, amounting to seven dollars and ten cents, was turned over to the Senior Class. Among the social events of the year were: a picnic at Koehler Park, a weiner roast at Margaret Slayinaker’s home, a social meeting at the Parkers’ home, and a club party and dance. At Koehler Park the boys and girls played baseball. After the game the members enjoyed a picnic supper. At the weiner roast many interesting games were played. Initiates drank lemonade from a large bowl, which resulted in many baths. At the delightful meeting at the Parker’s home the officers for the second term were elected. The Club gave a party at which the members danced and played games, and, to be mathematically correct, everyone had a good time. The entire success of the Club is due to the splendid assistance and cooperation of Mrs. Holton and Mr. Thomas, its sponsors.

Le Cercle Franeais greatly promotes our interest in France in that we learn about the customs of the people, about the beauty of Page 133 FIRST ROW:—Isabel Hernandez, Frances Huddleson, Marcial Knapp, Walter Lucke, Henry Martinez. SECOND ROW:—Lillian Masterson, Grace Newton, Alice Patrick, Hortensia Sanchez, Barbara Welsh, Virginia Wooters. its famous old buildings, its gorgeous country, and the gaiety and vivaciousness of its people. Only French is spoken at the meetings, thereby broadening the vocabulary of each member and finally enabling him to speak with ease and fluency, which is the main purpose of the Club. Le Corele Francois was established in Main Avenue, October 14. 1929, with a membership of about twenty-two under tin enthusiastic sponsorship of Miss Brunet. A constitution was adopted November 13, 1929, and it was then decided that the Club should meet every other Monday in Room 130. The colors are those of the French flag red, white, and blue; the flower is the Fleur de Lys; and the motto is “Noblesse Oblige”. Le Cercle has joined “The World League of International Education Association.” The purpose of the association is to become better acquainted with the French people through a correspondence. Le Cercle was active in the Senior Carnival, being the justly proud sponsors of a very attractive booth with decorations carried out in the three shades of purple, the Fleurs de Lys, and the flag. Dainty peasant maids in costume sold French pastries. Le Cercle won third prize for its booth. The first social meeting was held at the home of Edna Gilmore, and every one had a most delightful afternoon, with Mrs. Scholz as chief fun-maker. A note in which everyone contributed a few words was written to Miss Brunet, whom we all greatly nrssed. This social meeting was very successful, and all anticipated the arrival of the next one.

Parliamentarian THK purpose of the Architectural Club ol Main Avenue High School is to study architecture, art, and sketching, and to promote social activity among the members. The (’lub has carried out its purpose very satisfactorily during the last year. About five weeks after the first term began, the Club enjoyed a delightful overnight trip to Camp Comal, New Braunfels. Boating and swimming were delightful attractions. Also, several good sketches of rugged old stone houses and barns were made by members of the Club. A few days later, ten boys were taken into the Club as new members. These “pledges” were initiated at the Robber Barons, Cave. The members went FIRST ROW:—Elliott Hovel, Sam Janecek, Hob Kelly. Thomas Mclllhenny, Gordon Middleton, James Nesbit. SECOND ROW:—Walter Praeger, McMurray Reynolds, Brooks Rogers, Charles Swanson, Raymond Thrailkill, Hurst White, Bill Young. through the cave in a group, enjoying the climbing and crawling very much. After supper, which was eaten in the cave, the initiation took place and every one but the “pledges” had a very pleasant time. These boys had many hardships to overcome, but in spite of the difficulties, they all came out smiling in the end. On December 9th, Senior Fair Day. the Club turned over $23.00 to the Senior Class. This was second most money turned in by any other club. The Architectural dub had a very attractive booth decorated in blue and white. Much merriment was enjoyed by the students who tried to win prizes by driving a nail into a board with three strokes of the hammer. Even some of the faculty members proved inefficient when set to such a trivial task. On December 18th, the Club held its annual banquet at the Original Mexican Restaurant. About twenty-five members were present. After eating supper, the Club enjoyed a theatre party at the Texas. During the year the Club visited many new buildings and residences in San Antonio. A study of the architectural design used in each was made by members of the Club. Among the buildings visited were the Dittmar Apartments, the Alamo National Bank Building, the Nix Building, the new Telephone Building, the Little Theatre, and the Carnegie Library. FIRST ROW:—R. T.

Historian. Robert Tate......................Parliamentarian DURING the school year of nineteen twenty-nine and nineteen thirty, the Main Avenue Hi-Y Club has successfully carried out its purpose: “To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character.” This has been the purpose of the Hi-Y Club for several years, and this year has been one of the most successful ones. The Club holds weekly meetings on Thursday nights. At all of these meetings, very interesting programs are put on. At some of the meetings discussion groups, or “washouts”, arc had, both of which are very beneficial to Page 137 FIRST ROW:—Gordon Middleton, James Nipper, Raymond Nipper. Bob Nixon, Pat Nixon. SECOND ROW: —Brooks Rogers, William Sinkin. J. M. Smith. Jr.. Robert Tate, Albert Victoria. the members. In the discussion groups the boys take part in the discussion of subjects such as clean living, clean speech, etc. At the “washouts” one member is put before tlie ( luh at a time. The other members tell him what his faults are, thus giving every boy a good chance to correct his faults. Also, the Club has one social each month. The most important social of the year is the host girl night”. Besides these meetings, joint sessions of all the Hi-Y clubs of the city are held monthly, each club taking turn in providing programs. These programs are always very interesting and beneficial. There is not only a good speaker on the program, but various other kinds of entertainment. The Main Avenue Club has sponsored some two or more of these programs. At one of these meeting a very interesting talk was given by Mayor C. M. Chambers. One of the most outstanding works of the (dub was the attendance at the “Older Boys’ Conference”, which was held at Waco, Texas. Almost the entire membership of the Hi-Y Club attended this conference. The object of the conference was to help the boys choose a life work. The success of the Main Avenue Hi-Y Club is due largely to the men who have sponsored it. They are Messrs. Robinson, Edwards, and Doolittle. Mr. Robinson and Mr. Edwards sponsored the Club last year, but Mr. Doolittle is a newcomer. These men are all good Christians, and they have been excellent examples for the members of the Club to mold their characters by.

The Latin Club Continued Til 10 Latin Club is one of the largest organizations in Main Avenue, as it lias a membership of one hundred twenty-five persons. The fundamental object of the organization, as in the past, is to stimulate and increase the evergrowing interest in Latin and to encourage good fellowship among Latin students. The motto of this Club is, “Forsan ct haec olim meminisse iuvabit,, which means “to remember all this will be pleasing some day.” The colors of the Latin Club are purple and gold. As one of its major activities, the Latin Club sponsored the Latin Tournament held in April at San Benito, Texas. The contestants were members of the Vergil, Cicero, Caesar, and first year Latin classes who were the most efficient and outstanding students in their subject. It is considered a very great honor to be chosen for the Latin Tournament. FIRST ROW:—Madeline Levine, Gus Levy, Shirley Linnartz, Eleanora McGehee, Billy McNeel, Burnett Mason, Rosalie Murray.

It is considered quite an honor to receive one of these medals, and most Vergil students strive to attain one. The Latin Club this year has had another project, the selling of the tickets to the moving picture given at the Texas Theatre to benefit the general school fund. The Latin (dub led all the other clubs in the selling of these tickets. The Latin Club also had a beautiful booth at the Senior Fair, in which it sold peanuts and chewing gum.

Now at the close of its seventh successful year, the Latin Club looks back with pleasure over each of its delightful social meetings in the homes of its members. The members feel that the success of the Club has been due, in a great part, to the helpful guidance and cheerful cooperation of its sponsors, Miss Pearl West and Miss Gladys Morgan. FIRST ROW:—F.

Very entertaining social meetings have been held at the homes of Elizabeth McAllister and Bessie Bell Hillje. Delectable refreshments were served, and very amusing entertainment was furnished by the pledges.

Horseback riding has been enjoyed at the ranch of Mr. Harry Hamilton, our basket ball coach. A formal dinner was given at the Plaza Hotel January 26, 1930. Mr. Port-wood, principal of Main, was an honored guest. The pledges entertained with impromptu toasts. At the Senior Fair the Dramatic Club sold hot tamales in a very attractive booth. The booth was beautifully decorated with the club colors, purple and gold, and the Dramatic Club pennant was draped across the front. The money which was cleared was turned over to the Senior Class. While the Dramatics does not adhere strictly to the purpose as outlined in the Constitution, adding thereto the social element, it is the hope of the sponsors that dramatic productions will soon become a regular part of its programs. Many of its members possess marked dramatic ability and might easily place Dramatics in an enviable place in Old Main High. The success of the Club this year has been due to the wonderful way in which our sponsor, Mr. Frederick Abbott, directed us. lie helped us out of any difficulty and kept the meetings running smoothly and correctly. The speeches and pep of our honorary sponsor, Miss Constance Douglas, helped us also. The officers have done their duty and have kept the interests of the Club foremost in their minds.

Since that time the Club feels that it lias fulfilled its purpose, which is to create a better understanding between the people of the United States and those of the Spanishspeaking countries. This year, the fifth year of the organization, has been completed and has been pronounced a success by both club sponsors and club members. The officers and members of the Club have all worked with tin same hope in view—success. After our filth year of work in Main Avenue we can say that Page ltf FIRST ROW:—Louis Kahle, Henry Martinez, Olivia Martinez, Aurora Mendoza, Raymond Mendoza, Adela Ortiz. SECOND ROW:—Josephine Ortiz, Ella Pearce, Mary Louise Pizzini, Alice Sanchez, Hor-tensia Sanchez, Vicenta Torres, Albert Victoria. every year lias been a success, and last year was the greatest success of all. We still shall work and make each year a greater success. The Club has made several new rules in the past year. The most important change was the decision that all business discussions should be carried on in Spanish. This ruling was made possible by the fact that all members must speak Spanish or have had Spanish IV before they can join the Club. After four months use the rule has proven successful. The members of the Club, especially the American students, have learned to express themselves more fully and more fluently in the language of our neighboring country, the colorful Mexico, whose people have mingled with us as our own countrymen. During the year 1929-30 many interesting programs have been given, bringing out the customs of the Spanish people. Several Spanish plays were also given which portrayed in a dramatic way the customs, habits and interest of the Spanish people. The plays have helped the American students to make their Spanish useful also, for without their knowledge of some Spanish they could not have put them over as well as they have. The Club decided in the past year that only one social affair should be given each term. The social event for the first term was given in honor of one of its sponsors. The Club is looking forward to next year and hoping that the year will result in a larger and better Club than this year.

This concert was looked forward to by the musicians of San Antonio as being one of the most delightful entertainments of the year. During the past year the Club has also organized itself into a vested junior choir, singing sacred music and has gained fresh laurels in this new field. The choir has appeared before Fifth District Convention of the Confederation, the Composer’s Club, the Georgetown Conference, and on March 24. the Conference on Religious Education in San Antonio sponsored by the Federation. This is the only High School (dub in Texas to be organized as a choir and to give public recitals of sacred music. Much praise is due Mr. de Burgos for his splendid leadership of the Club, but due credit should also be given the girls for their splendid cooperation, which aids in making this Glee (dub one of the outstanding organizations of the school.

Huisache Continued THE Huisache, which was founded in 1896, has, during its thirty-four years of existence, grown from a four column mimeographed sheet to a seven column weekly newspaper. The paper, which derives its name from the Huisache tree, a typical south Texas shrub, belongs to four press associations: the Texas High School Press Association, the Interscholastic League Press Conference, the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, and the National Scholastic Press Association. It also has a chapter of Quill and Scroll, national honorary society for high school journalists. Among the recent honors this paper has won is the plaque offered by the Interscholastic Press Conference for tying for first place in the 1929 contest, and placing third in the T.H.S.P.A. contest held at Baylor College in December, 1929. Billy Warwick won first place in editorial writing at the same meet. Marjorie Norrell was elected president of the I.L.P.C. last May, and Shirley Linnartz was elected president of the T.H.S.P.A. in December. The three journalism classes, which arc taught by Mr. Iioy O. Hatley, compose the Huisache staff. Coaches and Captains Birnktt Here they are, Main’s athletic coaches and captains.

There is the Pep Squad, forming its red M, singing the good old song of Main, and waving a joyous salute. Cahill Grona COtKFL’EGOS Hilton Post F. Rodriguez. Main halfback, carries the pigskin across to score the lone touchdown for the crimson Buffalo gridsters in the Main-Brackenridge annual fray. Football Although this year’s football team won seven out of eleven games, they didn’t accomplish anything in the way of cups or championships. By defeating Taylor High School 36-0 Main Avenue's football team started what appeared to be a very successful season. After trampling St. Mary’s 47-0 the goal of victory seemed even more inevitable. Next came Harlandale, who was downed to the tune of 27-12. In this game the team met more opposition than they expected. The next foe was T. M. 1., who was put out of the league race by the score of 39-0. Booth Campbell Bradford Cohen Ciuxokk Page 1.19 Newman, erstwhile Brownsville halfback, was completely smothered on one of his attempts to run a double reverse around Main’s end. The Buffs then journeyed to Corpus Christi only to defeat Corpus 7-0 after a hard fight. A 6-6 tie resulted after a game with Robstown which was played on a wet field during a driving north wind. Coach Cochran’s team lost their first game to Austin High School after a heartbreaking 6-7 defeat. Even though the Buffs made eleven first-downs to Alamo Heights 3, A1 Iloese, Alamo Heights star backfield man ran wild to defeat the Buffs 12-6. Next the Crimson Warriors faced the strong Rio Grande Ramblers, who had been favored to win 53-0. In this thriller the Buffs held the mighty Brownsville Eagles, who outweighed the Buffs twenty pounds to a man, to the score of 20-0. Later this game was forfeited to Main because of the ineligibility of a Brownsville player. The game with Laredo was also won by a forfeit. I (l{jr mo F. Rodriguez. Main quarterback, carries the ball on an off tackle play for a nice gain in the Main-Brackenridge Turkey-day game. On Thanksgiving Day the Main Avenue Buffaloes met their old rivals, the Brackcnridgc Eagles, only to have last year’s score reversed. Bracken ridge’s first touchdown resulted after a 45 yard run by McDougal. Joe Dodgen made a second tally when he fell on the ball, which had been blocked behind the Buff’s goal. The Eagle’s aerial maneuver made for them many gains and the other two touchdowns. Rodriguez scored Main’s sole touchdown when he plunged over the Eagle’s line after the ball had been brought down the field by Young and Newton, who made several short runs.

Basket Ball After the Main Avenue Buffaloes had climbed within one game of the city championship, Don Klauser, one of Main’s star forwards, was declared ineligible. Unheeding this, the team set out again in search of victory and gave Sidney Lanier Vocational High School a close run. The first game of 1929-1930 season was played with Ilarlandale who was defeated 24 to 34. The Tuesday Nite Club was the next victim of the Main Avenue quintet, being beaten 24 to 32. The Buffs then lost their first game to Devine by the narrow margin of 36 to 37. In the first game with their old rivals, the Braekenridgc High School’s Eagles, the Eagles were easily defeated 30 to 41. In the first game with Sidney Lanier Vocational School, Main won 38 to 29. Next the Braekenridge Eagles were defeated again 29 to 42. After this game Don Klauser was declared ineligible and all the games won so far by the Buffs had to be forfeited.

After this loss Main did not lose heart, but kept up her fighting spirit and again defeated Sidney Lanier this time 33 to 30. To win her place back in the league race Main would have to beat Sidney Lanier again. In this skin-tight game Lanier’s luck and fourth quarter rally slipped over a 22 to 18 defeat on the Buffs. This was the last league game, but Main played and defeated Austin 35 to 28 for their last game. SCORES FOR SEASON Main 34... ... .versus....

Boys’ Tennis Main Avenue’s Tennis Team, despite the loss of five lettermen from last year’s team, proved to be one of the most active in Main’s history. On May 28th, the team was defeated in Austin 7 matches to 3. Pease, Alter, and Staples won their singles, but the rest of the players went down under the charges of “Uncle Tom” Holland, coach of the Austin High team. A return match was played the first week in May. Harvin Gwinn. first man on Main's team, won tin right to compete at the district meet a! San Marcos by defeating John Marley of Bracken ridge in straight sets, 6-2, 6-0, 6-4. Two days later Fred Alter and Gordon Pease defeated John Marley and Max Kahn of Brackenridge in the tennis doubles. Brackenridgc won the 6rst 6vc games in the first set. but Fred and Gordon came back fighting to win the next seven games, copping the set. The next set was a love set for Main Avenue. The deciding set was won 6-4 by the Main Avenue representatives. In addition to the regular scheduled matches, Main Avenue captured practice contests from Los Angeles Heights and Yorktown. Next year’s team, with a nucleus of Bill Harris, Harvin Gwinn, Harold Folks, Joe Gugenheim, Gordon Pease, and Boone Lovelace of this year’s team, should be the most successful in tin historv of Main Avenue.

Baseball ' Thus far Main Avenue has won eight out of nine games played, giving them a very good chance for the City championship. If they should win the championship, it would be the first time Main has had a championsip team for several years. Brackenridge has won over Main for the past few years. Main has been forfeited to three times, once by the Harlandale Indians and twice by the South San Antonio team. In the other games Main defeated Alamo Heights ten to six. Harlandale fourteen to nothing, Los Angeles Heights three to two, Alamo Heights again ten to six. then Los Angeles Heights again thirteen to nothing. On April 8th the Main Avenue Buffaloes met their old rivals, the Bracken-idge Bugles, only to be defeated in the tenth inning by a freak hit by Bracken-ridge’s third baseman. Main Avenue scored first, but after three hours of fighting, the score was tied six to six in the ninth inning. The home run which Page 166 A buff slugger takes a line crack at the pill for a nifty run in the Los Angeles Heights-Main Avenue game. won the game for Brackenridgc was hit into right field and landed on some rocks and bounced over the fence. At times both pitchers pitched good, but at other times they did not. ‘ .No hit” .Malcolm Gaffney has made a splendid record for himself this year, pitching two no-hit games and several three and four-hit games.

Track and Field Events Hoy Cochran’s many time champion Main Avenue Buffaloes won their usual city track and field competition. However, this year Bracken ridge made the best showing they have made in years. Main Avenue and Bracken ridge won the same number of first places, winning seven apiece. Main Avenue won throe first places in the track events and four first places in the field events. Main piled up her extra points by winning second places. Out of the possible thirteen second places she won eleven, giving her a twenty-seven point margin on the Eagles. The meet was featured by the establishing of a new city record for the shot put by Rabon, Mains star. He heaved the twelve-pound pellet lorty-nine feet and two inches, nearly five feet better than the old record. This is also an inch better than the heave which won him first place in the Texas relays. He also took first place in the discus throw with a distance of one hundred seventeen feet two inches, giving him a total of ten points for a three-way tie for high scoring honors. Page 168 i Four of Main’s track stars in action at the cfty contest. Main’s relay team came through in great shape. Fleming, the anchorman, left the Brackenridge man fully two hundred and twenty yards behind. Main’s first places in the City Meet arc as follows: TRACK EVENTS 220-yd low hurdles: Daugherty 27.5 seconds. 440-yd dash : Fleming 55 seconds.

Discus: Rabon 117 ft. 2 in. The Buffs will have to fight hard to hold their district championship because it is said Brackenridge looks best in field events and Harlandale in hurdles and maybe something else. The following Main Avenue men qualified to go to the district meet: Stutts, Ferguson, Cray, Hutzlcr, Koontz, DeBona, Daugherty, Sipe, Carnahan, Fleming, Castillo, Cacercs, Rodriguez, Mendoza, Carnahan, Burks, Sehrimsher, Gibson, Mahavier, Rabon, Bradford, Kehoe, Drain, French.

Golf Team The golf team of 1929-1930 is composed of Gerhard Schriever, Dale Hilton, Herff Moore, Halbert Grumbles, Jack Schole, and Jerome Adelmann. Although Ihe players have been playing well this year, Herff Moore has made the most outstanding score. 11c shot a seventy-five when playing Lanier High the first match. In this match Main beat Lanier by a score of 4-2. Main did even better in the second match with Lanier by beating them 5-1. The first team, composed of Halbert Grumbles, Dale Hilton, Gerhard Schriever, and Herff Moore, met the Austin High School team during April on the Austin Country Club Course and on the Lion’s Municipal Course at the Capital City. An unusual and very interesting match was played this year when Main’s golf team held a Miniature Course tournament with Brackcnridge during the week of April 4th.

Ice Hockey Through the able captaincy of Harry Allen and under the management of Gerald Hassell, Main Avenue’s ice hockey team won the city championship by beating Brackcnrxlge three straight games, 5-2, 6-1, and 8-0. This is the fourth tournament that has been held. The first was held in 1026, and after Main’s team won they had to forfeit to T.M.I. The next two years, 1027 and 1028, T.M.I. won. In 1020 there was no ice hockey league. In 1030 interest was again revived and Main developed a splendid team. Main hopes for a successful year in 1931 for we will have a nucleus about which the team can be built, as Miles Spruce, Charles Leake, Carlton Adams, Charles Bassett, Gerald Hassell, and Bill Young will all return to Main. Indoor Activities Health, a wholesome use of leisure time, social-graeiousness, and good citizenship were the objectives of the indoor activities of the Physical Education Department. Formal and informal activities from the Danish, Russian, and Swedish systems were given. The various games gave the students an opportunity to become acquainted with many forms of rythm. The pioneer recreations, old-fashioned dances, old English country dances, and simple clogging to familiar tunes were all taught. The indoor activities were given to music. Page 172 Outdoor Activities The aim of the girls’ athletics in Main Avenue is to encourage the girls to play with, rather than against, each other. In the year 1929-30 there were only sufficient students to form eight teams, each of which had a coach and captain. Each team, played inter-class games with the other seven in all the sports in which they participated. The one great event of the year was the Play Day staged on April 10, at the Lion’s Field, in which Physical Education girls from the senior schools participated. All kinds of games were played. Afterwards a picnic-supper was served in Brackenridge Park. Page 173 STANDING:—Coach, Mrs. Cecil Burnett; Captain, Frances Morris; Mary Clark; Margaret Foster; Clara Belle Leissner.

Girls1 Tennis With concentrated determination to defeat Braekenridge, their ancient rival, the Main Avenue Girls’ Tennis Team, coached by Mrs. Cecil Burnett, has held, in preparation for their annual clash, two practice sessions each week all through the winter months. This is the second time in the history of Main Avenue that the girls have won city championships in both singles and doubles. Emily Reichert, showing extraordinary skill, ability, and speed, easily defeated Dorothy Jolly of Braekenridge, Monday afternoon, April 7, by the score of 6-2; 6-0. On the same date Frances Morris and Clara Belle Leissner, first ranking doubles team, showing cooperation as well as ability, won the doubles championship from the Marguerite Reese-Dorothy Campbell combination of Braekenridge, 6-2; 2-6; 6-4. Emily, Frances and Clara Belle represented Main Avenue at the District Meet held at San Marcos, April 12. Practice matches were held with Los Angeles Heights High School, Main Avenue making a clean sweep. Matches which were arranged with Runge and Yorktown had to be postponed on account of rain. Edna High School sent a team to San Antonio to match its skill with Main. The members of the team rank in the following order: Emily Reichert, Clara Belle Leissner, Frances Morris, Margaret Foster, Christine Fontenot, Libby Alterman and Mary Clark.

The Main Avenue Hand was originally under the leadership of Tom Harris, under whom on April 9. 1927. the first year’s Annual Competition was won. The following year the band was re-organized under Jerome Zoellcr. The Competition Drill was lost to Bracken ridge in April of 1928. In the fall of 1928 the band was re-organized with Sam Janecek as Drum-Major and Douglas Ragland as Captain Commander, and in March. 1929, Brack-enridge again won the Annual Competition. The band this year has forty-five members, the largest since its original organization, and is reputed to be the best in its history. TOP:- -Ruth Felder, Wilmark Marvin. Marie Dotson.

You don’t see those old combination gas and electric lighting fixtures today. There’s a reason. The Electric Industry throughout the years of its existence has never ceased working to improve service. The high standard of electric service received in 20,000,000 homes today shows the results of that work.

Compliments of PITTSBURG WATER HEATER COMPANY 211 North St. Marg's Street Trauis 32 So —------------ Jl Payc ili Page 213 _____------------------------------------------------------- S: GLENN BEAUCHAMP: As an editor-in-chief he would make a good dish-washer. He’s a wonderful executive in that he never does any work. MRS. DePUE : She embezzles our funds for cleaning and pressing and new clothes—so she admits, but, confidentially, we have seen no evidences as yet. ELEANORA McGEHEE: As assistant editor-in-chief Eleanora makes a good Student Council Secretary. She spends three hours a day five days a week working on the minutes, and we’ve never known them to be completed. WILLIAM BROOKS: William is a nervous wreck from working to get out of work. He will leave as soon as school is out on another ocean voyage in an effort to recuperate. THOMAS McILHENNY: Thomas contributed ONE IDEA for the advancement of the El Sombrero, and as a result was out of school on account of illness for two weeks. WAYNE ETHERIDGE: The only thing that Wayne did as circulation manager was to scatter paper around the annual office and to add to the general confusion, which was really even more than we expected of her. JACK DAIILBERG: A junior who was drafted for service in the annual office as athletic editor. After serving for one term he discovered, to his amazement, that there were a few liars running loose in the world and more than a few in the annual office. BARBARA PARKER: If a club historian turned in a report to Barbara Parker IN PERSON, he could be assured that it would never appear in the annual, hut would be found months later in the debris of her locker. LURA STOKES: When the others found out that Lura was to be on the staff, they said, “Aw heck!”, but at the end they all agreed that she turned out worse than they expected. MARY SHIPLEY: Where Mary belongs on the annual staff is outside. MARGARET UPSCHULTE: There are three things that we are impressed with about Margaret, and all three of them are that she is a nuisance. FAY GLADFELTER: Fay is responsible for all mistakes made in our annual, who, while working on the annual, has been thinking of the financial troubles of the Huisache. = - ‘ t Page 21 , SAN ANTONIO PRINTING CO. he CoUeqeAnnual House of Texas- 130 SOLEDAD 51 SAN ANTONIO,TEXAS ■VB.
