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

Text from Pages 1 - 160 of the 1953 volume:

Time, to the nation as to the individual, is nothing absolute; its duration depends on the rate of thought and feeling. — Draper 7 4e TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction........................ 1-17 Classes............................ 18-63 Faculty............................ 64-79 Sports............................100-121 Activities........................122-152 2 ls Rolling On” - Shelley A LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER Time marches on and so does education. However, down deep, the search for knowledge is the same as it was in the little red school-house days. Today television, the tele- phone and frequent jam sessions may interrupt efforts to study readin’, writin’, and ’rithmetic, but one still finds a diploma is the reward for the same knowledge. In the 1953 El Espejo we have fused McHi with ideas taken from TIME Magazine since its purpose is to depict time in its weekly progress, so we attempt to picture school life in modern 1952-53. We only hope this record of a portion of your education aids you in stopping the motion to return to McHi in your thoughts as time marches on ... . 3 The Staff Co-Editors Sally Nichols Sandra Holden Associate Editors Mary Ann Sanborn Shari Lynn West Mary Anna Burris Nancy Connor Copy Editors Darlene Conner Frances Kent Copy Assistants Medora Parker Coleen Holding Published By Students Of McAllen high school McAllen, Texas 4 Class Portraits by Hernandez Studio, McAllen Lithography by The Steck Company, Austin, Texas MAN OF THE YEAR To the man of the year, Bill McGilvray, do we dedicate this 1953 El Espejo. Bill, as he is known by all students and faculty members, is, to coin a phrase, an ever present help in time of need. This helping hand has helped decorate everything from the gym to the goal post. The Bull- dogs have had a strong backer in Bill, win or lose, for a long time. Bill’s official title is superintendent of maintenance for all McAllen schools, but he has a knack of always being where they need him most. Because he means so much to McHi in so many ways, because he is always so helpful — well, just because he’s Bill, we dedicate this annual to him. 5 THE CAMPUS In unity our spirit grows, We walk as one today. As one we lift our voices; In unison we say: Hail! Hail! McAllen High, You’re spirited and true. We proudly lift our voices, In praise to you. Our hearts beat loyally. Our memories are bright. May you, our Alma Mater be, A shrine of living light. 8 The two edifices before you have and will stand in the memories of McHi-ites as the home-away-from-home for four years. Through the portals of the Main Building have passed McAllen stu- dents on their quest for knowledge since 1927. Five years ago. 1948. the Vocational Building was promoted from the grammar school level to become part of McHi. Other landmarks of the campus which will remain dear to McHi students are the Bulldog Memorial Stadium, the Gym. and the Ad- ministration Building. The wing of “home” was a band hall com- pleted this year. 9 POLITICS Fleeting time mattered a great deal in McHi elections for class officers; speeches, posters, entire campaigns had to l)c stepped up to gain attention, re- spect of classmates, and most important of all, votes. The campaigns lasted only a week, but the memory lingered on for weeks as winners celebrated, losers looked forward to next year, and campaign managers breathed a sigh 0 of relief. ENTERTAINMENT Time for fun, time for future planning is provided for all McHi-ites. Assembly time brought singers, F.B.I. men, round-ups, and mock-trials for the entertain- ment of students. The guidance office always seemed to be open for students interested in present or future jobs, college-choosing, or solving personal problems. CLASSES The aeronautics class, always a leader in McHi progress, acquired a new room in which to build airplane models and study the latest thing in flying equipment and procedures. Time brought improvements to the McHi band department with the building of a new band hall to high- light a year of accomplishment. CLASSES The finer and more important things in life are stressed in the McHi scheme of things, too. Almost all students take time or make time to investigate the workings of government or the satis- faction of music or some other interest. 13 CURRICULUM Time marches on in education, too. New melodies have been added to the old readin’, ritin’, 'rithmetic” tune. McHi-ites are looking toward tomorrow and so are interested in up-to-the-minute, vocational courses. McAllen school board officials have seen this looking-and-planning- toward-the-future spirit and have a d d e d such fresh, progressive courses as mechanical drawing and physics to the growing curriculum of McHi. McHi has kept up with the fast-stepping tempo of educa- tion. 14 PHYSICAL EDUCATION McHi girls haven’t been sitting idly by and letting the lx ys take all the sports interest. Up from the ranks of the knitting and tatting societies they have come to take their place in the sports realm in active athletics including archery, basketball, volleyball, and tennis. Interest in girls’ sports • has in- creased this year especially, since new improvement and spirit have been shown in the games. 15 SPORTS “Someday I'll l e the one to run down the field for a winning touchdown,” thinks a young, future letterman. But, for today, while time has not yet become the mad rush familar to McIIi-ites, he is content to admire and l e impressed by four big McHi Bulldogs. EVENTS Time seemed to stand still for the one precious moment when the sweethearts for the purple and gold hand and the Bulldog gridsters were named and all eyes were on the stars of the evening. Highlights like these came often during the school year but only once in a lifetime to the favorites concerned. CLASSES It was the crystal set in Grandma’s day. Then radio took the kids from their English and American history. But time marches on and now the television screen with Edward G. Robinson steals the limelight away from the more scholarly side of life. Modern, in step with the times, as the television set shows, McHi students do other things besides sit and watch life, they live life — twenty-four hours a day. Busy working in classes, struggling with homework, singing in the choir, painting campaign posters, selling football ribbons, baking cookies in home ec., signing detention hall slips, raising a show calf, clerking in a store, making a touchdown in a big game, working on the magazine, going to church, planning a big party, they still manage to keep on their toes, alert, and right in step with the brisk tempo set by time. 18 SENIORS President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Gilbert Taylor Shirley Lcifhcit Anna Maria Cavazos Jay me Seward 20 BIG SHOTS- Fireworks of “the Glorious Fourth” exploded with the first day of registration when the seniors were assigned first floor lockers and English IV classes. The first “Senior Yell” brought another upheaval while the arrival of the class rings nearly took the roof off. By Homecoming the occasion was rolling in a steady pace, even English. Any affair takes money and the “Fourth” was no exception. Sleeves were rolled up and the seniors dug into selling Christmas cards and producing a play to finance the gift to the school. A social schedule filled with Tommy Higgins, Senior Day, graduation parties and the Junior-Senior banquet and prom preceded the closing exercise better known as commencement.

A mum? A ticket to the Palms? Well, just call on a VlcHi Junior. In preparation for the annual spring affair known as the Junior-Senior prom and ban- quet, the class of ’54 sold nearly everything but the school building. The toiling juniors took no time off for a special holiday but they did take part in the Homecoming enough to win five dollars on their entry in the parade. Before the curtain came down this year, the juniors were all ready for their new roles as seniors with the order off for the class rings and a knowledge of how to say Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote-” 37 PRIZE WINNER—The Juniors were mighty proud of this Bougainvillea-laden convertible which won second place in the Homecoming Parade.

The ’53 second year class went all out for the wild west theme, even to their Homecoming convertible. Having learned the ropes before, the Sophs were really a big part of McIIi with their main floor assembly seats, advising the fish that they will live over it and planning how the next Jr.-Sr. affairs would be carried out. PRINCIPALS in the Sophomore assembly cast get together to discuss strategy. Mr. Walker (spon- sor), is talking to Charlie Hurt, Charles Page, Grayson Hampton, Mrs. Polk (sponsor), and James Harrison.

Three weeks after their arrival, the Fish were put through the pace (“Fish Day”) at the Senior command. Their respect to the to-be-grads was shown the remainder of the year by their standing for the Senior yell. An assembly of their own and attending school functions for the first time keeps things rolling for McHi’s youngest members. 57 FRESHMEN 58 Edith Adamsen Edelmiro Alaniz Irma Alaniz Maria Alaniz Mary Jean Allen Jovita Alonzo Elizabeth Anaya Jimmie Arismendez Charlotte Bales Alfred Barker Delfina Barrera Maria Benavidas Marie Bowles Dorothy Brown John Bryan Janice Burnett Lillian Burnett Susan Carlton Juan Cantu Delores Campos Pat Carpenter Alvaro Casas Noe Castillo Ronny Chastain FRESHMEN Virginia Conner Jose Cortez Billy Cottingham Benny Courtney Shirley Cox John Dale Lillie Damron Larry Dean Delia DeLeon Homer Delgado Viola Delgado Kay Doty Enrique Duarte Wharton Duke Blanca Elizondo Higinio Elizondo Sandra Elmore Sue Erdman Cynthia Erminger Carmen Finnell George Flores Phillip Foglesong Virginia Funston Clay Gruesheck S9 FRESHMEN Gerald Gaboert Rebeca Galvan Rodolfo Garcia Rose Garcia Nancy Garland Joyce Garnett Julia Garza Irma Garza Sally Jo Garza Usnua Garza Tommy Gastellum Evelyn Gegenheimer Virginia Gish Gilario Gomez Graciela Gonzalez Romeo Gonzalez Socorro Gonzales Barbara Gray Mildred Gruesheck Gayle Haden Marlene Hartnett Mike Hendricks Walter Henkel Colleen Holding 60 FRESHMEN Eddie Izaguirre Jerry Jones Darryl Jordan Betty Sides Wilbur Kennard Ruth Krueger Bill Lewis Soila Mandujano Jeanette Martin Raymond Martin Pat Mason Vivian Mason Maria Martinez Rose Martinez Teresa Martinez Carolyn McCollum Ken McCutchen Sally McCilvray Eva Morales Filomero Morales Sagraria Morales Raul Moreno Barbara Nelson Trinidad Ochoa 61 FRESHMEN Medora Parker Alma Parrao Joan Patton Jose Pena Francisco Pena Gilberto Perez Filipe Perez Catherine Pfeifer Tommy Pope Mary Alice Price Doug Puryear Lucille Reeves Ambiro Reyna Hilda Rodriguez John Rogers Nikki Rowe Guy Russell Robert Savage Nancy Schoon Mimi Schultz Virginia Seaton Mary Shimerka David Sifrenter Hank Sine Don Sissell Dottie Slayton 62 FRESHMEN Willie Bea Smith Joe Sotelo Patsy Solomon Evelia Sowery Roy Stewart Harry Gene Stone Karen Taggert Darlene Tarver Glen Taylor Kenneth Taylor Rosene Thomas Alfred Torres Angelina Tovas Ramona Valdez Bettye Vandiver Evangelina Vasquez Raul Vega Criselda Vela JLydia Villarreal Bob Whigham Robert Wilson Calvin Wolff Pat Workman Bob Yancy Corinne Young Enrique Zamora 63 FACULTY Time and progressive educators took care of the switch-swinging school inarm of yesterday. Today students find teachers friendly, interested, and genuinely sincere in their co-operation with students in projects, activities, and classwork. Student-teacher rela- tionships at NlcHi are especially good, and this co-operation and interest is partly responsible for the extra-special friendly atmosphere McHi enjoys. 64 IN McAllen Senior High School Don Irwin, Principal 1101 Austin Avenue McAllen, Texas A school is not just brick and wood and metal. Nor is it a depository for books and apparatus and furniture. It is not even an institution having a school board, an administration, a faculty, and a student body. A school is a spirit. I became acquainted with the McHi spirit first as a freshman, when the front auditorium seats and the senior yell were very important items. I also met the spirit in my classes where I learned to value sound education and the principles of freedom and democracy. Some years later I rediscovered the spirit of McHi as a teacher. I met it in my classroom, where it made teaching the most important job on earth. And on the yearbook staff and at play rehearsals, and at club meetings, where it made teach- ing the most joyous job on earth. And still later I met the McHi spirit more fully as principal. A spirit second to none ... a spirit of loyalty, of service, of honor, and of pride. As long as schools like McHi exist, we shall have no fear of American ideals ever becoming shoddy or failing. 66 Don Irwin . . . “Mr. McHi” himself — what other person can boast of being a student, a teacher, and the principal of McHi through a period of years? ... has a wide range of interests - journalism (he edited The Wheel in his high school days;) drama (he was director of McHi’s plays until just a few years ago;) painting (he decorated McAllen Library and his home).

TSCW McAllen Public Schools ST. €. JMcCollwn. Supexinltndent McAllen, Texas December 2, 1952 The school year of 1952-53 has been great for McAllen High School. The fine spirit of loyalty and co-operation to be found in the students of your school has indeed been inspiring. I am grateful for the privilege of working in a school system with such a fine faculty, backed up by sincere and capable school board members, who have been elected by interested and enlightened citizens. Just as Mc-Hi has been great because of your un- selfish service to your fellow students, even so the place you will attain after graduation will depend on the service you render to others. Let us accept our success with humility and have charity for the mistakes of others. Sincerely yours, T E. McCollum, Superintendent 76 T. E. McCollum . . . leads a busy life as the superintendent of schools in McAllen . . . his sixth year here has proved no different in that respect . . . He quietly and efficiently supervises the many phases of operating the ten-school McAllen public scnool system. SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS, left to right, are Leonelo Gonzalez, Dr. H. E.

They guide and direct every phase of the school life in McAllen. All of these board members have a vital interest in the educa- tional life of students in the city and strive to keep the various schools and their programs under their supervision as modern and forward-looking as tomorrow. Several of them have had or have sons and daughters in the several schools of the system, including McHi. so we see that they then have a personal interest in the inner working and activities of this high school. WOOD ROW C EAR H A RT Tax Assessor-Collector JUSTIN BLARNEY Supervisor, Elementary Schools MISS ESTELL CUELLAR Supervisor, School Lunch Rooms These people help to keep things running smoothly in the administra- tive branch of the school system. They quietly and efficiently carry on their programs with little fanfare and seldom with any recognition, but they fulfil a vital part of McAllen schools. MRS. RUTH TURNER Secretary to Superintendent MRS. OLA MOSS School Nurse MRS. HELEN HARRISON School Nurse 79 FAVORITES Wait! Stop! The hands of time are going back- ward instead of forward as they should. Were back in the jazz age again with the Charleston right in the center of student enter- tainment life. No, this is still modern 1952-1953, even though the dance is currently undergoing a new phase of popularity. Now those “in the know” are learning a dance their parents did when they were young. Just as McHi-ites are now learning the Charleston to stay in step with the times, so are they doing other things for the same reason. And these students that are doing the right thing at the right time are the ones that are named as favorites by their classmates. 80 FAIREST OF THE FAIR Mirror, mirror by the wall, and out stepped the fairest of them all. To Shirley Liefheit went the highest honor McHi can give one of its co-eds, when she stepped through the glittering frame at the Presentation Ball of '53. Looking into Shirley's high school career one sees her elected as class favorite and officer for three years running, leading the band two years as drum majorette and three years in the twirling line and this year being their sweetheart. Other reflections show her as reporter, actress, and general all-around student. She is shown above being presented as band sweetheart. 82 BAND SWEETHEART Shirley Leifheit FOOTBALL SWEETHEART Janet Brown w J .1 JUNIOR CANDIDATE for LADY of the MIRROR 86 Mercedes Berrones SOPHOMORE CANDIDATE for LADY of the MIRROR 87 Marjorie McAda FRESHMAN CANDIDATE for LADY ol the MIRROR 88 Cynthia Erminger F.

Making the familiar “V for victory” sign the “twelfth man” on the football team cheers the Bulldogs at the kick-off. Since time and football began at McHi in early September, this twelfth teammate has been behind the ’Dogs at all their games from the first impressive score of 27-0 against Weslaco until the last bitter contest between champions at Temple in the state semi-finals. These McHi students with their en- thusiastic “McHi spirit” have backed the sports program of the school for many years. They have helped to make it out- standing in many ways. They will most likely continue to do so for years to come while McHi and time are on the march. 100 ■ 101 RANKIN MOVES—Fullback Gary Rankin, McHi’s most consistent groundgainer against Temple, is finally trapped by Temple defenders after an end sweep. SEASON RECORD Bulldogs 27, Weslaco 0 66, Mission 0 27, Laredo 0 41, PSJA 0 53, Harlingen 13 20, Alice 0 41, San Benito 0 39, Kingsville 27 35, Edinburg 19 61, Brownsville 19 26, Edison 6 (Bi-District) 14, Temple 34 (Semi-finals) 102 LUIS GETS HIM—Luis Guerra moves in on Temple’s great passer, Doyle Traylor, to drop him for one of the few losses Temple suffered that day. HEADS IT IS—And the Wildcats win the toss as well as the game. Veteran McAllen referee C. W. “Napper” Davis uncovered the coin for the Bulldogs’ Reynaldo Torres and Temples co-captains All-State End Roy Chapman and All Ameri- can Back Dovle Traylor. BULLDOG SCORE—End Joe Evans throws a belated block while under the pile Gary Rankin nestles the ball for McHi’s first touchdown. BEST YEAR The pictures on this page were the only ones ever taken of a McHi team in a state semi-final playoff. Although beaten by the powerful Tem- ple Wildcats, 34-14, the Bulldogs had the great- est year of any grid team in the histon,' of the school. After 11 straight impressive victories, the Bulldogs travelled over 400 miles to give the Temple team one of its biggest scares of the season. Leading the cocky but hard charging Wildcats 14-12 at halftime, the Bulldogs were the victims of two bad breaks that resulted in two fast Temple scores when play began at the second half, and from there on it was strictly Temple’s game. The needle-threading passing of All-American high school star Doyle Traylor was too much for the Bulldogs’ defense. Time after time, Traylor faded calmly back and struck receivers square in the arms with one of the best demonstrations of high school passing ever witnessed. The Bulldogs could do nothing to harry him. When he appeared trapped, he would dodge out of the hands of Bulldog tacklers and unleash his deadly passes. The show wasn t all Traylor’s however. McHi Fullback Gary Rankin was acclaimed the best running back on the field that day as he ac- counted for both McHi scores, and End Don Bunn was both a defensive wizard and the tar- get for several spectacular catches of the passes of Quarterback Caesar Fulton. There were few dry eyes in the Bulldogs’ dressing room at Temple Saturday afternoon, December 13, but everyone who saw the game, including the Temple fans, hailed the fighting 1952 Bulldogs as a great team. 103 NEW COACHES These two gentlemen played a big part in the football campaigns of the McHi Bulldogs the past few years, but they will play an even bigger part next year. On the right is Jack “Red” Rucker, a former McHi player himself, who was elevated to the head coaching spot after Charles Moser resigned for the head coaching job at Miller High in Corpus Christi. A former star player at Texas A I College in Kingsville, Mr. Rucker has been described as one of the best line coaches in this area. On the left is Neil Hector who l ecame chief assistant coach when Mr. Rucker was named head coach. He moved up from the job of B team coach where he has produced some of the best records of any McHi teams. He attended Texas University where he was a star baseball player. 104 1952 BI-DISTRICT CHAMPION BULLDOGS - Front row, left to right. Young, Robinson, Bunn, Rankin. Molina. L. Guerra. Mancha, R.

TWENTY SAY GOODBYE Twenty Seniors played their last game for McHi this year and with their graduation leave the new coaches with a major recon- struction job for 1953. Although the backfield was not hit as hard, the line was left with only one starter returning from a two- f� latoon front guard that cleared the way for 11 straight victories ast year. However, only the coaches are worrying about that now as the Bulldogs are basking in the glory of the l est season in the history of McAllen football. With the second and third strings playing the majority of most games, the Bulldogs had the l est scoring record in the state. With blockbusting Fullback Gary Rankin, fleet-footed dashmen Ruben Gonzalez and John Polk, shiftv Rcvnaldo Torres and field-general Caesar Fulton in the same backfield. scoring was no problem for the Bulldogs. In regular season play the fewest touchdowns scored in any game was at Alice when the Bulldogs won 20-0. The Senior-dominated line not only cleared the way for the backs, but together with the help of such defensive backs as Ramiro Leal and Joe Weeks held six of their opponents scoreless. The Bulldogs finally ended up with all won. one lost record after dropping the semi-final playoff to Temple, but grateful fans were proud of the showing of the 1952 Bulldogs. After seven successful years as head man at the helm of the Bulldogs, Coach Charles Moser accepted a well- earned promotion this past year. After guiding the Bull- dogs to a bi-district crown as the climax to his tenure here, Mr. Moser accepted the head coaching job at Mil- ler High in Corpus Christi. Later he resigned there to move to a more lucrative position at Abilene High School. Mr. Moser was one of the most popular men on the McHi campus. Although imbued with the desire to win, he was more intensely interested in promoting sportsman- ship and scholarship on his teams. The former All-Big Six Conference center while at the University of Missouri a few years back will be missed by McHi ites. JOSUE MOLINA DON BUNN GERALD LAMBERT DARRYL MOTLEY DAN YOUNG KIRK BARTLEY PETE SANCHEZ 106 ON HIS WAY—Bob Davis appears to be trying to sneak past this Pharr player after snagging one of Caesar Fulton’s passes. He didn’t quite make it, though. BOB BOWMAN GILBERT TAYLOR LUIS GUERRA GOING DOWN—No halfback, Reynaldo Torres pulled away from this barely visible Harlingen tackier, but was stopped shortly after. JACK CHISUM DICK JASPAR LARRY STOWELL TOMMY ALLEN THOMAS SOSABEE JOE EVANS JOE MANCHA JOHN SCOTT LARRY THOMPSON WENDELL ROBINSON 107 PLENTY OF HELP—An unidentified blocker demonstrates how the Bulldogs were able to down Kingsville by simply outscoring them. One of the most exciting games in years and easily of the year, the Brahmas played the Bulldogs on even terms until the last quarter when two Bulldog touchdowns provided the margin. TOUCHDOWN AHEAD-Not only a tough line-plunging fullback, but an adept broken field runner too, Gary Rankin heads for another six points. NO STRAIN—After having run up a lopsided victory at Brownsville, first stringers chat with Coach Rucker on the sidelines. TORRES AGAIN—Reynaldo Torres tries to shake off this Alice Coyote. GUERRA GOES DOWN-One of the Bull- dogs' l est backs, Milo Guerra, is tripped up by this Alice player.

CLEARS THE WAY—Wendell Robinson clears the way for speedster John Polk against San Benito. ANOTHER SCORE-Gary Rankin rests with ball iafelv under him for another touchdown. HEADING FOR TROUBLE—These Harlingen Cardinals are head- ing off Gary Rankin short of another score. END OF THE LINE—The other teams carried the ball sometime, but usually not too far. Reynaldo Torres and another Bulldog gang up to bring this Pharr Bear down.

GOOD SEASON Although the Bulldogs ended up with only a 13 won, 9 lost record the basketball season was considered a success especially so when compared to last year. In the past, basketball has had little following at McHi, but this year, with the Bulldogs in the thick of the race for district laurels, a packed house was not uncommon at most home games. Next year promises to be even tatter since all five starters and all but one squadman will lx back for another year. STRUGGLE FOR BALL—Center Bob Davis wrests pos- session of the ball from a P.S.J.A.

ACTIVITIES “To your health!” “To yours!” Now it’s root beer; then, before this fast-moving age of stream-lined cars, it was sasparilla. But whatever the drink, teenagers will still be teenagers and gather at some favorite hang-out during any time. Kids don't really change too much through the years, just a little bit on the details. Take the cars, for instance. Back in the “roaring twenties” they had “flivvers,” now we have hot-rods; and when time rolls on into the distant future, teenagers will probably have their rattling, ancient rockets. Then too, the younger set in the “sheik and sheba” age didn’t spend all their time going to school—they had outside activities such as doing the Charleston, doing the Charleston, and doing the Charleston. McHi-ites have kept up the tradition of filling their spare time with many varied and person- ality-suiting extra-curricular activities. See for yourself on the following pages what McHi-ites are doing to stay up-to-date. 122 123 DARLENE CONNER Assistant Editor WHEEL STAFFERS—Seated left to right, Hester, Brewer, Thobe, and Ross; back row, Mr. Horner, sponsor, Harris, Bishop, Brown, Page, Bunn, Peterson, Hick- mann, Polk, Heina, Burgin, and Garcia.
