McAllen High School - El Espejo Yearbook (McAllen, TX)

Text from Pages 1 - 152 of the 1952 volume:

In the years ahead, your thoughts of the years at McHi will appear to you at many odd moments— as daydreams most frequently, but perhaps oc- casionally as the nocturnal type also. The pur- pose of this El Espejo is to provoke those dreams into action in those years ahead. So wherever you have been at McHi during your tenure here, whether— la in classes at at sporting events or at extracurricular activities . . . Your 1952 EL ESPEJO Has Been There Too Published by Students of McALLEN HIGH SCHOOL McAllen, Texas Lithography By THE STECK COMPANY Austin, Texas Distinct, wispy impressions Although some of our experiences could easily ! e classified as nightmares, most of our escapades arc sometimes distinct, sometimes wispy impres- sions that affect us; help fashion our patterns of thought and action; then flit away as noiselessly as any night time fantasy. These dream-like experiences that make our life at McHi the wonderful, exciting adventure that it is have a great deal to do with whether or not we will work toward that extra-special dream that sparkles out at us from the Land of Coals At- tained. In this 1952 El Espcjo, we have tried to present the dreamy side of McHi’ites existence ... in- cluding nightmares, day dreams, and the con- ventional variety. As we grow older, our dreams may not all come true, but the life we lived as a part of McHi will assume that hazy quality that will make us re- member the years as “something that could only happen in a dream.” CLOSER TO REALITY Pages 58-69 CARLOAD OF DREAMS Pages 104-144 DREAMS WITH MUSCLES Pages 82-103 GIRLS OF MY DREAMS Pages 70-81 7 These get individual mention . . . JO ANN WILSON Editor-in-Chief ARTHUR GUERRA Art Editor On these pages arc shown the students who have labored to give you this 1952 El Espcjo. To say that they have worked many long hours would be trite, but true. While other students enjoyed regular vacation periods, most of these people were busy trimming pictures and rush- ing to meet the ever-present deadlines. The dreamy-eyed gent second from top is Arthur Guerra. He drew the sketches for the division pages and other spots. Arthur, a Senior, has been a staff member since he was a Freshman. Just below Arthur is Tommy Blankinship, McHi’s ace photographer. He made the dream sequences for the division pages, and could always be counted upon to run out and take a quick picture. Space does not allow individual mention of the rest, but they all deserve individual mention. TOMMY BLANKINSHIP Photographer SALLY NICHOLS SANDRA HOLDEN Assistant Editors MARGARET RODGERS.

To the woman — Miss Carrie Shannon — who deals in dreams; who daily neatly catalogues and stacks volumes expressing the dreams and ideas of the great writers of all times in McHi’s spacious 5,000 book library; who helps students realize their dreams by guiding their reading; who backs up her dealing in dreams with a practical sense of humor and patience; who is always ready to help each student find that certain piece of information; who spends hours of her free time in making McHi’s library one of the best in the Valley ... we have dedi- cated this ’52 El Espejo. 9 Visions of grandeur . . . Every eager Freshman starts off the four years of McHi with his eyes steadfastly aimed at the dream day when he will look oh, so distin- guished in his cap and gown, and step right up and take his diploma. He is soon jolted down to earth, however, by the sometimes terrifying newness of McHi, and the necessity of doing more with those hooks than just glancing at them. A sigh of relief tells plainly that the “Fish” has advanced to the Soph- omore level and now has someone to look down upon. During the Sophomore year, time begins to wing swiftly by, and that year is gone; then the busy, almost hectic Junior year; and finally, he enters the most exalted stage of high school life and becomes a mighty Senior, with the special privileges, social whirl, and the more important responsi- bilities that he has heard about since Freshman days. There is also the saddening knowledge that he won’t hear the Alma Mater very many more times; that the familiar circle of faces will soon he scattered; and that it is not a dream, hut a stark reality that he will be holding his diploma and really saying goodbye to all that he has loved as being a part of McHi. 12 Carol Ramsey Kay Koertge Araminta Curtis Mickey Eidson CLASS OFFICERS President Treasurer Vice-President Secretary ley work too, a little . . . As the dessert is to a dinner, so is the last year of McHi to the Seniors. S-E-N-I-O-R spells Tommy Higgins Day, Senior Day, English 4 and leaving assembly first. Being a Senior isn’t all play however. They work too—a little. To raise money to buy the school a gift, the grads-to- be sell stationery, Christmas cards and pennants. The Senior play brings in money, too. Also there is one subject all Seniors have to take and pass—Civics. One of the largest hut most enjoyable jobs the Seniors have is to sponsor Homecoming Day. During the month of May, Old Man Fun comes around. The many parties are topped off by the Junior-Senior ban- quet and prom. When the class marches off the field to the music of “Pomp and Circumstance,” a career of four short years has ended.

Almost all of the students say that when you have earned a credit in chemistry, you know you have earned it; but they fell in love with things scientific while in general science and biology, and so were eager to advance to the big stuff. All for education . . . That oversized snake being examined by budding biologists and instructor Mrs. Virginia Jones just illustrates how far students will go to gain practical knowledge of the subject. All for the sake of edu- cation, students invade their mothers’ flowers beds for roots, grass, flowers, hugs, worms, frogs, and the more courageous, snakes. Then for days, these unfortunate members of the world of nature are sacri- ficed to science under sharp dissecting knives and microscopes.

Battle Cry: “Wanna’ buy?” Objective: Junior-Senior banquet and prom. Regiment: Juniors. Zero Hour: First of September. The class of ’53 was no different from every other third year class. Throughout the year they worked to give the Seniors two nights they never forget. Unlike the other classes, they have no special holiday. They do take time off to order their class rings, give an assembly, and of course to practice the Senior yell. It may be hard work at times, hut no Junior would give up or miss his third year at McHi. 27 MARY FRANCES AKINS JOYCE AKIN THOMAS ALLEN SYLVIA ALMARAZ ROSE MARIE AYALA ADOLOFO BALLI KIRK BARTLEY SANDRA BAY DON BEER MARK BEERS ROLLIE BLONDEAU MARY LOUISE BOLIN KAY BONNEAU TERRENCE BRATTON JANET BROWN 28 JOY BROWN BARBARA BRYAN DON BUNN HERCILLA CANALES ANNA MARIA CAVAZOS JACK CHISUM JO ANN COBB JO ANN COE DARLENE CONNER LUCY CORTEZ RONNIE CURL JERRY DAVIS BETTE JO DEAN JO ANNE DIEGAN MARLENE DOSS Juniors EUSTACIA ESCOBAR BETTY FINCH ROBERT FINNELL LORETTA FLANERY PATSY FLANERY ALFREDO FLORES DANNY FUNDERBERG ELLA GARZA MANUELA GARCIA MARGIE GARZA ROSA LINA GARZA MAUDIE LOU GLIMER NADINE GILMORE ANDY GOMEZ 30 AURELIA GONZALEZ JOE GONZALEZ MARLA TERESA GONZALEZ JIM HAMMOND BOB HANCOCK HAROLD HARTER ROBERT HARVEY BOB HEINA RONNIE HENDRICKS JERRY HERNDON PAT HESTER RUTH ANNE HICKMAN GEARHARD HUNGER DICK JASPER BOBBY JEAN JOLLY KAROL KENNARD 31 Juniors FRANCES KENT ALEIDA LAMBERT SHIRLEY LEIFHEIT BARBARA LIBERTY BERTA LOZA RUTH MARTIN PATRICIA McCUTCHEN carole mcintosh PETE MENDOZA JIMMY MESTEMACHER PAT MILLER CAROLYN MOFFITT RICHARD MONGAN DICK MOORE O.

Music, painting, and writing arc not the only arts by any means, and the home economics girls will he the first to tell you so. They learn the delicate art of cooking, sewing a fine, straight seam, and managing a home. These girls eat the things they cook, wear the things they sew, and recommend home economics to all the people who would like to broaden their knowledge of the fine arts. Just ask it c � a Iarmer . . . Whether feeding calves, growing cotton, or taking part in numerous livestock shows, McHi’s agriculture hoys lead double lives. They are being school boys and actual farmers all at the same time. They learn to build farm equipment; feed and care for livestock and poultry; and grow crops of vegetables and cotton. Most of them are training for a future in farming, and so spend long hours in preparing special proj- Real cowboys T CLASS OFFICERS Caesar Fulton President Elizabeth Ross Treasurer Nancy Moss Secretary Bob Davis Vice-president “Bang,” went a cap gun and the Sophomore Stampede began.

The stage can he seen much better from the lower floor of the auditorium, and biology is much more interesting than just plain science, all Sophs agree. Though some think the second year of high school is dull, all McHi Sophomores have something to do besides waiting to he upper- classmen. 4C ( fa fa.

Onlookers always whoop it up when heavyweights start exchanging blows in a bout in one of McHi’s gym classes. However, not all gym sports are so bombastic. Softball, tumbling and basketball also are entered into with vigor. Regarded as an extra practice hour by the boys who are on the athletic teams, most McIIKites consider gym a “play” subject, and use those periods for healthful recreation, and as a release for pent-up energies. N Ot quite 50 roug iNeglecting football and boxing, the girls’ gym classes turn to volley ball, badminton, basketball, softball, and tumbling in a well-organized and smoothly-operated program. Starting with knocking a softball off a stand to teach them the correct way to swing a bat, the girls learn the fundamentals of each sport they play. They have contests between teams and classes just to keep things interesting between lessons in first aid. w ork with tlieir lianda . . . The desire to create ... to he able to say, “Yes, I made it all by my- self ...” is one thing that keeps the Shop I, II and III hoys sawing, hammering, and sanding away. Along with actually building useful objects, they learn the care and use of machines. Their work is ex- hibited in a special section of the annual Sports and Hobby Show, and they are ready for the Christmas Holidays by the time they have com- pleted “Project Santa Claus,” during which they make, as a Christmas gift, some piece of furniture needed in their home. 48 CLASS OFFICERS Pete Sanchez Treasurer John Polk ......

Other characteristics of Fish are sitting on the shelf (balcony) and standing for the Senior yell. They always give the first class assembly. Whether they are Fish of ’22, ’52, or ’72, Freshmen can always dream of being a Senior in three years.

S. has a Congress; Texas is governed by the legislature; and McHi has a Student Council. The latter gov- erning body is made up of students elected from advisories to attend ses- sions to discuss and solve McHi’s prob- lems. Outstanding in the terms of ’51-’52 was the writing and adopting of a constitu- tion. Conventions and meeting with other schools’ councils give the representatives new and better ideas for hign school life. Bill Dietrich, president; Miss Ruth Linnard, sponsor; La Nell Musch, secretary; and Nancy Custer, treasurer are the officers and sponsor of the Student Council. 57 Closer to reality Whoever heard of a straight A plus card? McHi ites have in their fondest and most unattainable dreams. No doubt every care-worn teacher dreams of teaching a straight A plus pupil, and of being able to hand out such a lovely card. They are always taking courses in modern methods; bringing fresh ideas and patience to class with them every day, but most of them have realized that straight A plus students only happen in dreams. The atmosphere is usually charged around McHi on report card day. There are smiles of pleasure and groans and frowns of the purest agony. Sometimes a whole two days of increased study will follow this painful experience, but we have to admit that our attention insists upon wandering. Sincerely, our intentions are just as good as those of the capable teachers who instruct us. Faculty DON IRWIN Principal B.A., M.A. Texas U. HAL BROWN Asst. Principal, History B.S., SWTSTC 60 M MRS.

Although the pleasant expressions on their faces don’t show it, these men have one of the hardest jobs in McAllen, directing and planning the McAllen school system.

McAllen High, You’re spirited and true. 68 Within these walls . . . have been spent the majority of the waking hours of McHi ites. Class after class of students have worked, played and even dreamed in a school that is a little world in itself. This is the main building, built in 1927 by people who had a dream that someday McHi’ites would be housed on a modern complete campus. It has been kept up-to-date by constant improvements and innovations of modern equipment. In keeping with the desire to help McHi grow, other buildings have been erected in more recent years: the vocational building, the administration building, the gymnasium and the three-year-old stadium. 69 Girls of my dreams And the tune sets visions of the beautiful, vivacious, lovely, and kind running through the average McHi’ites’ head. Each year, McHi’ites choose their favorite people in special elections. The Lady of the Mirror and the Favorites are chosen in the Favorites election; the football boys cast ballots for Football Sweetheart; and McHi’s 100 piece band does the same for their Sweetheart. Here are McHi’s favorite boys and girls . . . beautiful, handsome, best all-around, and popular, topped by the Lady of the Mirror, Foot- ball Sweetheart, and Band Sweetheart. 70 A Dream Come True... Being Lady of the Mirror . . . the top title, synonymous with beauty, personality, and ability ... is a dream come true to some McHi miss each year. Vivacious Lucille Saenz, Senior, was chosen for this, the highest honor that can be be- stowed on any girl by her fellow students. Lucille is a main cog in life at McHi. She was candidate for the Lady of the Mirror her other three years, and was head cheerleader this past year besides having amassed a great host of other honors. The other three classes elect candidates for the honor, although the Senior is traditionally elected.

Helen, green-eyed blonde, was elected most beautiful girl in the Senior class, F.F.A. sweetheart, and was a member of the Aviation Club. She was chosen by the Salud staff as Salud Girl while a Junior, and played a leading part in the all-school play, Stage Door. Just like a melody... A pretty girl is like a melodyserenaded the McHi band as Eddiemae Phares, Senior, was escorted to the center of a huge heart, and presented as Band Sweetheart. Eddiemae has been a member of the band five years, vice-president her junior year, and treasurer this year. She is known by her pep and enthusiasm and is generally the first one to volunteer for the tough jobs. 75 CAROL ANN CRAMER JO ANN WILSON Sophomore Duchess Homecoming Queen 76 MARGIE McADA Freshman Duchess JAYME SEWARD Junior Duchess Braivn, brains, and beauty Now we present ... said the presenta- tion ball emcee, announcing the three boys and three girls who had been elected to the pleasant honor of being Senior favorites. Athletic ability, brains, beauty, and charm are personified in these Seniors chosen in the annual election. SALVADOR TIJERINA Most Handsome RAUL GARZA Best All-Round MARGARET RODGERS Best All-Round JO KING SPELL Most Popular HELEN JAMES Most Beautiful BILL DIETRICH Most Popular 77 Lioelu and industrious... The lively and industrious Juniors chose six people as favorites who not only rate highly in appearance and personality, but who were main pushers in all of the big Junior and all-school activities this year. GARY RANKIN Most Handsome DON BUNN Most Populor VIOLA THATCHER Most Beautiful BILL POSEY Best All-Round SHIRLEY LEIFHEIT Most Popular JOY BROWN Best All-Round Especially talented... t Sophomore McHi'ites elected people for the traditional spots on the favorites list, but they went one step further by choosing six people who not only filled the usual requirements, but who were either out- standing in a particular field or especially talented. BILLY MOORE Most Handsome BOB DAVIS Most Popular SHARI WEST Most Beautiful BARBARA DORFF Most Popular MARY ANNA BURRIS Best All-Round CAESAR FULTON Best All-Round Thrill comes early... The thrill of being a favorite came early to these eager freshmen, who will be able to write this down as something really big in their sometimes terrifying fresh- man year. . . ROBERT WYCOFF Most Handsome GERALD LAMBERT Best All-Round NORMA CAVAZOS Most Beautiful BETTY JO NOSER Best All-Round JOHN POLK Most Popular KATHLEEN CLAYTON Most Popular Dreams with muscles Whether impressing the girlfriend, recapitulating the major points of last week's game, or anxiously discussing a coming event, talk of sports parades McHi’s campus every day of the school year. Any hoy may go out for any sport, and with ability and hours of hard work, may realize his dream of “making the team”; belonging to the exclusive “M” Club; being feted by the Quarterback Club; and com- peting for All-District honors. But when his dream comes true, he finds that he’s working for his team, not individual honors, and to answer the enthusiastic cheers of the student body, which he knows is hacking him and the team all the way. McHi’s girl sportsters have also gained recognition for their ability, and their program has been growing each year. Win, lose, or draw, McHi’s world of sports is glamorous, colorful, and exciting. 82 Coach of the year... For the second time in three years. Coach Charles Moser was selected as the Valley Coach of the Year. Taking a team that was conceded little chance at the district crown, he molded together a group that finished in second place in a seven-team conference. A former All Big Six Conference center himself for Missouri in 1939, Coach Moser has a lifetime coaching record of 45 wins, 21 losses, and 3 ties. He is a captain in the Air Force Reserve. During the war he was the playing coach for the Portland, Oregon, Air Force Base. Still a team man ... In spite of the fact that Robert Young, Senior, scored the most points, gained the most yards, played the most time, carried the ball most and had the best yards gained average, he was still one of the best team players on the Bulldog roster. A natural player who loves the game, Robert was picked as the outstanding player in the Valley this year. Playing 446 minutes of a possible 480, he was. just as much a key man on defense as when carrying the ball. He was popular among his teammates as evidenced by his selection as co-captain. Played well their part... As an actor without an audience, so would a football team be without its fans. A most enthusiastic McHi student body was not forgotten when the honors were passed out after the football season. They were voted the most sportsmanlike student body in the Valley. Almost 700 students played every second of the game in their own way. Whether in moments of joy after a Bulldog touchdown as shown here, or in moments of distress when the other team is about to score, McHi's twelfth man was always with their team. First Row: Sawyer, Garza, Mendoza, Icenhour, Torres, Molina, Ruben Gonzalez; Second Row: Assistant Coach Rucker, Taylor, Tijerina, Fulton, R. Young, D. Young, Dietrich, H. Robinson. Third row: Coach Moser, Moore, Bunn, Schuderer, W. Robinson, Jasper, Bartley, Mancha; Fourth Row: Roberts (manager), Hansler, Mongan, Galvan, Richard Gonzalez, Bell, Rankin, Guerra, Sewell. A well-balanced team ... Despite a last game loss to the Brownsville Eagles that cost them their first district championship since 1943, McHi's Bulldogs can be anything but ashamed for their 8 wins and 2 losses during the 1951 gridiron crusade. A well- balanced team, the Bulldogs were unscored upon in five straight games, while amassing 114 points during these five games them- selves. Although several boys stood out at different times in the season, there was no individual star. Jose Mancha, burly 210-pound guard, spearheaded an offensive and defensive line that promises to be one of the best in this area of the state next season as only two regulars will graduate. Mancha was honored at the end of the season by being named to the Class AAA all-state team, an honor that has not come to a McHi player in nearly 10 years. At left Co-Captains Bill Dietrich and Robert Young discuss strate- gy to be used against an opponent. Fullback Gary Rankin gets ready to attempt to elude a Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Bear as Don Bunn (33) rushes in to clear the way for him. Run Over Weslaco 40-7 When the Bulldogs, with only three veterans in their lineup, started their 1951 football cam- paign against experienced Weslaco, all McHi fans wondered what would happen. Any doubts were erased when the Bulldogs ran up an easy 40-7 victory. Richard Gonzalez bats away a potential Kingsville score. Robert Young crashes through. Richard Gonzalez dances away from a would-be Edinburg tackier. Robert Young is caught by those Mission Eagles. Barely Beat Cards Their second game, at Harlingen, was the Bulldogs' biggest revenge battle of the year. The previous fall, the Cardinals had beaten McHi for the league champion- ship by a humiliating 44-13 score. This time the Purple and Gold were out to win — and did, 13 6, after holding off Harlingen's feared passing attack with a series of goal-line stands. This was the only touchdown the Bulldogs made 88 against the Brownsville Eagles. Flashy Reynaldo Torres scats in the open field against Mission with Thomas Allen to protect him. Let's Forget Miller A budding undefeated record was cut short when the Bulldogs visited Miller High at Corpus Christi. It was another damp evening, and the Bucs produced their winning margin on a blocked punt and a long gain on which a McHi defender slipped in the mud. Final score was 13-6. Quarterback Caesar Fulton got loose for 40 yards on this run against Edinburg. Caesar Fulton (left) looks for somebody to block after handing off to Robert Young. $9 An Edinburg tackier stops Richard Gonzalez on an end sweep. Bill Dietrich almost scored in the Pharr game after catching this pass. GILBERT TAYLOR Center Three husky San Benito Greyhounds get ready to converge on Reynaldo Torres after a nice runback of a punt. JOSE MANCHA Tackle (All-State) Bring Eagles to Earth Mission had an undefeated streak of six games when the Bulldogs visited the Eagles in their last non-conference tilt. It was supposed to be a close match, but a capacity crowd turned out only to see McHi roll up a 36-0 victory. Once again the 'Dogs stopped a good passing team in its tracks, allowing 15 completions but only 100 yards gained through the air. DICK MOORE Tackle DON BUNN Tackle LUIS GUERRA Tackle Speedy Richard Gonzalez hands the referee RICHARD MONGAN the ball after scoring the first touchdown End against the Edinburg Bobcats. Muddy Again Second home game against Alice was also played under poor conditions after heavy rains. McHi had enough punch to slog forward for two touchdowns and a 12-0 triumph. This was the HARLON ROBINSON second game in the bulldogs' unbeaten, un- End scored-upon conference streak of five. San Benito Sunk San Benito, one of the tougher 8-AAA teams, wasn't good enough to stand up to the Bulldogs. They marched downfield behind brilliant block- ing on three occasions, and that meant the difference in a 21-0 score. WENDELL ROBINSON DANNY YOUNG LEE HANSLER Tackle Tackle End A tense moment on the bench during San SONNY ICENHOUR fienrto game. Pounce on Pharr In the first District 8-AAA game, McHi's grid- ders regained their pre-season form to rout Pharr-San Juan-Alamo completely, 39-0. The FRED SEWELL Bears held back the Bulldogs only in the first entcr quarter, and when the McHi runners began breaking loose they scored freely. BOB DAVIS EDGAR SAWYER DICK JASPAR End End Tackle Speedy Robert Young crashes over for the clincher against the tough Alice Coyotes. JOSUE MOLINA Bobcats Threaten Edinburg was supposed to provide a nice scrim- mage before the Bulldogs played Brownsville for the 8-AAA championship, but the Bobcats didn't read the papers. They gave the visiting 'Dogs a slight chill by taking a 14-7 lead early in the proceedings. McHi's fighting eleven regained its poise for a comeback and won, 33-21, on more sensational running. GARY RANKIN Fleet-footed Gary Rankin looks for a way Fullback out of this Mission Eagle trap. REYNALDO TORRES Back Key Game Close 6-0 Kingsville was it, if the Bulldogs were to remain in contention for the conference title. And they came through, scoring the game's only touchdown on a pass and holding the Brahmas at bay with a great defense. The 6-0 win went on the books only after the 'Dogs thrilled 6,000 home fans by defending their goal four downs within the eight-yard line. It's the end of the line for scatback Ruben Gonzalez as three San Benito giants close in. Bow to Brownsville This was the showdown. The Bulldogs faced Brownsville's Eagles here for the 8-AAA cham- pionship, and a record, overflow crowd of nearly 13,000 fans was on hand. But Brownsville's bigger, older line and flashy backfield told the story as McHi lost, 27-6. That left the Bulldogs with eight wins, two losses for the season and second place in District 8-AAA. FRED TORRES PETE MENDOZA Back Back ROBERT YOUNG Back RUBEN GONZALEZ Back JIMMY ROBERTS Manager Not too successful . . . WITH EYES ON THE BASKET squad members are Dietrich, Weeks, Robeson, Eidson, Coach Rucker, Davis, Leal, Molina and Bunn. 96 Manager Robert Zepeda McHi’s hard-luck cagers finished better than they had in two previous years, hut still could rack up only a three won, eight loss conference record. Winning conference games only from Edinburg (two) and Pharr-San Juan-Alamo, the Bulldogs suffered a shortage of manpower, finishing the season with only a nine-man team. One of these was brought up from the B team to fill in. Things look better for future years though, since only two men were lost through graduation. They were Bill Dietrich and Mickey Eidson. Always plenty of Action . . . Surrounded by McAllen Bulldogs, this Alice player seems to be playing mumbly-peg with the sphere. A little body English is applied by this Edinburg Bobcat as Jose Leal attempted to bucket this fast-break field goal. Just too tall for Bob Davis and Ramiro Loal, this Coyote controlled the backboard all evening. • BILL DIETRICH Forward LES ROBESON Forward JOSUE MOLINA Guard MICKEY EIDSON Guard All hands are on the ball in this action shot of the Edinburg game.

Most track activities oc- curred too late to report, but pre-season dopesters had predicted that McHi’s track team would go far toward winning the state meet this year. Basis for their pre- sumption was the Gonzalez brothers, Richard and Ru- ben, who both won points at the state meet last year, and a speedy sprint relay team of which they are members. 100 Field men watch as Fred Torres soars over the high jump bar.

SANDRA HOLDEN LUCILLE SAENZ Head Cheerleader PATSY FLANNERY Manager BILLY MOORE LoNELL MUSCH PATSY DUNBAR 103 Carload of dreams To dance, to laugh, to have just plain fun with the heart interest of the moment is probably the favorite McHi extracurricular activity. The Presentation Ball, the Football Sweetheart Dance, Homecoming, and the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom are the chief social events of the year. The time in-between is well taken up by club parties, meetings, and committee work. McHi’ites also like to spend time simply “draggin’ Main” or congregating at “Jimmie s or “The Citriana.” One McHi girl rushed by in a mad whirl one day and was heard to say, “Oh, there are so many extracurricular activities that I don’t even have time to study anymore.” No doubt, being in that predicament would please most McHi’ites very much! A banner year for a banner band ♦ ♦ ♦ This was a banner year for McHi's snappy 100-piece band. Always present at all im- portant Valley celebrations, the band this year represented this area at the State Fair in Dallas. Besides winning a first at the annual Pigskin Jubilee, the band al ways drew tremendous applause at foot- ball games for their intricate and impres- sive marching formations. The band was ably backed by an extremely active band booster club composed of parents. This group led the drive to raise the $2,500 for the trip to the State Fair, and was always around when a band member needed help. Besides numerous school concerts, the band played for winter tourists in Archer Park each Sunday during December, January and February.

Real budding journalists . .. Each year there are students who discover that they have printer's ink for blood when they start writing for The Wheel, student newspaper, and soaking up the real news- paper atmosphere in Johnny's print shop. To outsiders, taking journalism is gaining knowledge of writing, printing, interviewing and writing about people. It also builds the character traits of dependability, punctu- ality, courtesy and tact. But to those who are on the staff, writing for The Wheel is learning the meaning of that awful word ''deadline''; it's keeping a finger to the pulse of the activities that make the school tick; it's feeling yourself to be a tiny link in the world-wide chain of newspaper writers; its learn- ing to think of yourself as a newspaperman or woman, not just a journalist; and, most important, it's knowing that your words are recording the history of the school.

Archery expert Lynch (center) takes time out for a drink with teachers Glenn Ford and Hal Brown. It's assembly time . . . Amateurs and professionals combine to give McHi'ites a release from the usual classroom grind in the form of assemblies. Entertainment in all forms was provided for students this year. Professional programs arranged through Southern School Assemblies have been presented six times. They have included an archery expert, a poet of the accordion (one of the most popular), a play entitled Box and Cox, a percussion instrument expert, a juggler, and a novelty act. Classes and clubs provided the amateur productions. The Freshmen started it all out with some skits and musical numbers. The Sophs brought down the house with their female style show using male models. Charles Dubai, a Senior, wrote and produced two assemblies; the Freshmen Teen-Age club presented a play; and the Lettermen gained much student favor with their take-off on a faculty meeting. Many clubs conducted paid assemblies to raise funds for various projects. The debaters got in the act by presenting a weighty discussion on Resolved: It is better to be a big frog in a little pond than it is to be a little frog in a big pond. The D. E. club, the Student Council, and the band were other groups who raised money through assemblies. Ray Miller entertains during the Freshman assembly. Two poets get together. Lloyd La Vaux, poet of the accordion, and Mrs. Edythe Brehm, McHi's poet. This red-hot combo not only won the D. E. Talent Show, but was very popular every time they appeared. Arthur Guerra played the trumpet; 0. L. Moore, clarinet; Bob Tancre, drums; Bill Posey, bass; and Philip Webb, trombone. Their official title was the Opium Five. Nadine Gilmore and Eddiemae Phares gained favor with their version of the Charleston. These three professionals presented Box and Cox. 125 Blackface Emmett Arnold gives out with Old Man River in the band assembly. ♦ ♦ ♦ King Tommy Higgins VI receives his crown Senior Jerry Beachum was selected by classmates to reign as King Tommy Higgins VI.

Maxwell, Dietrich, Ceballos, Wimberly, Young, Butler, and Eidson were some of the best-dressed boys. 126 )ear to Seniors’ Hearts... A day dear to the heart of every Senior is Tommy Higgins Day. This is the day that the elite literally let their hair down, and come to school attired in pajama tops and blue jeans. The barefooted Seniors eat their lunches on the campus in front of the main building, heckle underclassmen and teachers, and just have fun in general. The day started six years ago when a student named Tommy Higgins complained that Seniors just didn't get enough freedom. As a result, Principal Don Irwin proclaimed the day. TOP — A group picture show, the latest thing in Tommy Hig gins Day attire. LEFT — A group of celebranti corner Principal Don Irwin who originated the day six yearj ago. Best(?)dressed Higgins-ites were Margaret Rodgers and Mickey Eid- son ♦ ♦ ♦ Underclassmen haue their days A close-up view of the agonies suffered by Freshmen is shown here. The beginning of an eventful four years ot McHi is started for Barbara Bowman, Carole Klap- perich and Janey Sue Polk. Freshmen girls line up in the hall to sing for the Seniors. Note the snazzy fashions. It's Fish Day at McHi! The time when all smart Fish came dressed in their little brothers' and sisters' clothes and bring their shoeshine boxes to shine the mighty Seniors' shoes. Sophomores, too, have their day at McHi. One day every year they come to school dressed as cowboys with ten-gallon hats and toy pistols, and raise the roof in general. The easy way to catch your man is demonstrated by these McHi Sophettes. Cornering Freddie Rice are Shirley Peterson, Barbara Tomlin, Ann Bergquist, Charlene Smith, Barbara Dorff and Mary Ann Page. Civilian clothes and cowboy attire intermingle during noon-time activities. 128 Moss confusion reigned in the auditorium when noon- time activities were forced inside because of rain. Homecoming activities ♦ ♦ ♦ Who will it be? Was the typical question around Me Hi just before the Homecoming game with Browns- ville. The question referred to who would be McHi's Homecoming Queen. The candidates were Lucille Saenz, La Hell Musch, Jo Ann Wilson and Helen James. This Brownsville back demonstrates why the Eagles spoiled the night for the Bulldogs. The fancy-stepping backs ran up a 27-6 score to spoil the Bulldogs' bid for a district crown. Co-Captain Bill Dietrich crowns Jo Ann Wilson Homecoming Queen before the game.

Setting for the assembly was a waterfront along the Mississippi and featured songs, dances and skits. Band Director C. L. Horn may not be readily recognizable in this get-up. He was music director for the Lions Ministrel too. Some were still happy after long trip back from Dallas. Stress learning by doing ... Agriculture classes at McHi stress learning by doing. Many field trips that accentuate the practical side of what is taught in the classroom help to prepare students to take their place in farm life, although city boys may take the courses also. The wise old owl is the official mascot of the Future Farmers of America. Charles De Koch got this one for the McHi chapter. Of great assistance to F.F.A. boys this year was this GMC pickup donated by Reforma Motor Company. After using the one shown here for a year, it was replaced with a brand new one. There are many bright spots in being an ag boy as these three will concur. They are shown exhibiting the cash prizes won in the cotton contest. They are Robert Hommel, Mike Townsend, and Charles De Koch. Future Homemakers of America are the female counterpart of the Future Formers. They learn cooking, sewing, and managing a household.
