Class Portraits Hernandez Studio Publisher The Steck Company, Austin, Texas 4 To Her We Dedicate... Besides being civics, Texas history and world history teacher, Stu- dent Council sponsor and extemporaneous speaking coach. Miss Ruth Linnard is probably the number one booster of all McHi activities. During her three years as sponsor of the Student Council, Miss Linnard has brought about its improvement until last year it was chosen, along with Lubbock, as one of the most progressive councils in Texas. Civics and world history teacher extraordinary, Miss Linnard im- bues in most of her students a fervent interest in politics and events all over the world. She is an avid sports fan and attends almost all football, basketball and baseball games. To the honorary president of the McHi chaml er of commerce we dedicate this 1954 El Espejo. Campus Scenes I Almost like home to over 800 McHi stu- dents are these familiar scenes on these pages. The large picture at left is a front view of the main building. At bottom left is a scene of one side of Bulldog Memorial Stadium and in the center is the vocational building. At top is a view taken from the south side of the football field of the “McHi Skyline.” Be It Ever So Humble... lit •'« 7 There Are Special Days... Beginning this year every class at McHi has a special day in its honor. On this page are scenes from Fish Day, the first and liveliest one of the year. On that day. Freshmen are subjected to all kinds of persecutions at the hands of the “mighty Seniors. Other special days are Sophomore Stampede when the Sophomores come dressed as cowboys. Junior Day when the Juniors come dressed as a comic strip character and Tommy Higgins Day when all Seniors come in the latest pajama styles. Whichever day it is, everybody in school has a good time. No cutlines seem to be necessary on this page as the pictures speak for them- selves. 8 Football Season is Rally Time... Every Friday during football season a pep rally is held in the auditorium, but sometimes for special games McHi’ites go all out with a bonfire and all the trim- mings. This year before the Edinburg game such an event was held. Scenes on this page give an idea of what went on. The coaches spoke, cheerleaders led cheers, the band played, students snake-danced and Mac, the mascot, sneered. The festivities almost proved successful when the Bulldogs outplayed the Bobcats the entire game only to have a last-minute Edinburg rally spoil the whole thing. 9 Homecoming Festivities... Always a major event of the year at McHi is homecoming which is annually sponsored by the Senior class. This year the occasion was considered an outstand- ing success with a parade, open house, dance and a football game providing en- tertainment for the returning students. Highlight of the day was the crowning of Queen Anzaldua at right by master of ceremonies, Dillard Dean. DRAW ATTENTION—These entries in the parade drew special attention from the crowds along the way. Upper left.

Each year McHiites observe and celebrate certain holidays and traditions as annual events.

Most Seniors have braved the difficulties of English IV and now quote Shakespeare “with every fibre of their very being.” (Shakespeare didn’t say that, but surely someone did) . . . These McHi’ites not only quote Shakespeare; but they also try their hand at working every once in a while. For example, they sponsored Homecoming and once again proving that “man s but a poor player, fretting his life away on the stage,” they presented their annual Senior play to the underclassmen. . Now after this scene of their life, they leave McHi for greener fields. And, as for the subjects they weren’t able to master, they leave this reminder, “ ‘Tis better to have tried and lost, than never to have tried at all.”0 These quotations have been slightly edited to protect the innocent.

It isn’t that they’re mo iey mad, they just love to feel secure—or so they tell us. They’re saving for a rainy day so they can give the Junior-Senior splash party and the Junior-Senior Prom ... A newly instituted thing this year was Junior Day. They felt that they were underprivileged since all the other classes had special days. Now they are happy and contented . . . Each Junior is a virtual general merchandise store (or vice versa). He is loaded down with stationery, ribbons, and mums . . . Now that the year is over, they have had their fling, so they will settle down to live up to the traditional dignity of the Seniors. They will soon learn that vou can’t l e a “Crazy cat” and still pass English IV. 32 JUNIOR OFFICERS: Left to right, Peggy Sue Jones, Secretary; Ramiro Leal, Treasurer; Bette Carolyn Yancy, President and Barbara Bowman, Vice-president 33 David Allex Irma Almaraz Aaron Ayala Ann Berset Sue Bidgood Ramon Billescas Betsy Bocttger Barbara Bowman Nancy Burton Billy Jean Cain Class of ’55 Charlene Callender Idalia Carales Irma Caneles Kathleen Clayton Norma Cavazos Carmen Cavazos «ft Mildred Fallek Mary Rose Flores Don Erskine Jane Ervin Olga Flores Joe Fisher Clay Clemons Jim Cleaveland Anna Compton Shirley Cox Dorothy Damron Ronald Damron Charlie Davis Sylvia Dean Manuela Dougherty Ellen Edwards Class of ’55 Class of '55 Freddie Guerra Grayson Hampton Eliseo Herrera Gretchen Gaines Doraine Gall Elva Galvan Javier Garcia Olga Garza C.

On that eventful day known as Sophomore Stampede Day, all these lads and lasses don their western duds, consisting of boots, 10 gallon hats, cowboy shirts and jeans. They all handily acquire a slow southern drawl and lazily saunter across the campus ... at varied times during the year, these pseudo-cowhands also become extremely interested in nature. They sneakingly pluck flowers and leaves of flowers, trees and weeds on the campus. All this is done for the sake of the biology class, which attracts most Sophs. However, some of the poor nature lovers always get caught. At this point in the escapade, they lower their heads in shame and murmur, “I will arise and go now and go to detention hall.” (Keats was an extremely foresighted poet.) . . . Being a Sophomore isn’t so bad. “After all,” say the Seniors, “look what you have to look for- ward to!” 42 SOPHOMORE OFFICERS: Standing, Medora Parker, Secretary; Seated, Willie Bea Smith, Vice-president; Joe Saenz, President; and Mike Hendricks, Treasurer Maria Antonia Alaniz Ruben Alejos Mary Jean Allen Jovita Alonso Lynette Andrus Jimmy Arismendez Maria Elena Arredondo Charlotte Bales Susan Carlton Patty Carpenter Maria Castillo Ronny Chastain Judy Cheetwood Carol Chew Jose Cortez Virginia Conner Bill Cook Class of '56 John Dale Lillie Ann Damron Larry Dean Homer Delgado 45 Evelyn Gegenheimer Virginia Gish Hilario Gomez Graciela Gonzales Romeo Gonzales Barbara Ann Gray Clay Gruesbeck Mildred Gruesbeck Gayle Haden Class of ’56 1 • V Darrell Jordan Eddie Izaguirre Jerry Jones rv •T O - Jean Kauffman Judith Kerschner John Kidd Ruth Krueger Jewel Laliekcr T.

They continually implore the upperclassmen for understanding, but, to quote our old friend, they say “This quality of mercy is getting strained.” . . . One of the highlights of a Freshman’s year is Fish Day, in which the Seniors also have a small part . . . Wide-eyed innocence and wild giggles are trademarks of these “dream children” as they meander up and down the halls . . . They, too, have a lot to look forward to . . . Their admiration will turn to unerring poise and their giggles will be transformed into polite chuckles. (Or so the teachers assure us). . . They may get in the way sometimes, but as some old philosopher said, “Life isn’t always a bed of roses, there’s always a few thorns.” 53 Judith Aamoth Janet Bell 54 Edward Ahlgreen Virginia Akin Jesus Alaniz Olga Alvarado Robert Batte Duane Bell Alfredo Anzaldua Rafael Aranda Raquel Arriaga Joan Aubry Class of ’5 Loretta Bailey David Baker Baudelia Barrera Karen Berset Bobbie Martha Blankenship Diane Bostelmann Steve Brown Class of '57 Roba Cassity Daniel Castillo Pete Castillo Bob Chastain Jerry Clemons Jeaneene Cobb Martha Conner Mike Cox Carolyn Craig Betty Courtney Richard Ocan Patricia Gish Valdemar Gomez Blanca Gonzales Cecilia Gonzales Cuca Gonzales Class of '57 Patsy Greenhill Sandra Greer Lucia Guzman Stella Harvey Margaretta Hemphill Doria Gonzales Cufemia Gonzales Bill Goodwin Sandra Graham Richard Kauffman 58 C5 V V I Ruben Hernandez Armando Hinojosa Elia Hinojosa Donald Hoffman Homer Holland Bill K.

This saying may be true in some localities, but McHi’ites have found that it does not hold true with the teachers at McHi. They not only can, but do. “School is for the young and the young in heart.” (No one ever said this, but they should have.) McHi’s teachers are here because of their undivided interest in young people and education. They don’t go around with intelligent frowns and shaking their fingers at students. “None but the teacher shall praise us and none but the teacher shall blame; and no one shall work for money, and no one shall work for fame; but each for the joy of working, and each in his separate star, shall work on his appointed lessons for the teachers of things as they are.’ Kipling’s poem (slightly edited) aptly describes the teachers’ positions in the lives of the student of today, yesterday, and tomorrow. 64 Teachers Today 65 McAllen Public Schools £T €.

Let us count the votes.” And so, McHi elects its favorites after the Browning method. Each year, McHi’ites have to decide who is most popular, best looking, and best all round. Then, after careful deliberation they “mark the spot with an X.” These people represent McHi at its best. They are the “peoples’ choice.” They were elected because of their outstanding personality and friendliness. They reflect the spirit and ideals of McHi’ites as a whole. As you gaze upon their shining countenances, remember that they are “real gone cats.” As Sylvestre Cat has often remarked, “They are the most to say the least.” ♦ ♦ ♦ The Fairest of Them All Shari Lynn West, as she begins her reign as the Lady of the Mirror at McHi, breaks through the silver mirror at the presentation ball, where the favorites of each class and of the entire school are presented. As her name was called, she became the recipient of the highest honor which McHi'ites can bestow upon another McHi’ite. Featured in El Espejo as the honored favorite, Shari Lynn reflects the ideals, principles and objectives of most McHi’ites. She is a mirror of the typical McHi’ite. 85 87 88 89 ' W Zc„ncJ L Ct y 'Soic ayi 91 'T ome-Coyrtt-rx DotifitinC Ja{£ 94 They’re 1954 Galahads... As is the custom of many institutions of learning, many of the annual matriculators choose as a hobby the art of kicking a leather sphere, making a ball jump through a hoop or moving the lower limbs up and down in an effort to outdistance the nearest competitor. These McHi sportsters use as their code of existence while on the playing field the saying originated by Coleridge or one of his contemporaries, “He playeth well who moveth well, both man and bird and beast. He playeth best who moveth best, all things both great and small, for the monstrous coach who worketh us, he use and worketh all.” On the following pages will be revealed the shape of certain 54 Galahads, who, like their namesake, fight ever onward to defend the fair damsels. Now, with bated breath, let us review the knights of the square football field, the squires of the basketball court, and the fleetfooted messengers of the cinder path. 96 1954 VARSITY—1st row, left to right; Sanchez, Torres, Leal, Solis, Saenz, Polk, Gall, Lambert; 2nd row, Sosabee, Burnett, Avendano, Erskine, Allex, Jaspar, Sawyer, Barker, Duke; 3rd row, Torres, Richmond, Vega, Salmon, Van Dyke, Chastain, Rowe, Cottingham; 4th row, Bowman, Fulton, Sawyer, Martin, Crawford, Davis, Yancy, Stone; 5th row, Rucker, Jordan, Burnett, Hector.

With this thought in mind, all McHi’ites are permitted to join and participate in clubs that are organized to cover interests from chess playing to cattle-raising, and from knitting to playing football. Meeting twice a week, these clubs plan projects, discuss subjects relating to their type, and participate in the type of work symbolized by their club, such as the typing club, which spends its 30 minutes “beating the black ivories.” Through this medium of cooperation, McHi’ites’ enjoyment of school is increased through the added opportunity to do something interesting. As Confucius didn’t say, “Clubs are to McHi what advisory is not.” WHEEL STAFF—Front row, left to right; Shirey, Hoff, Kunik; second row, Boettger, Clayton, Engers, Ray, Shaeffer, Esparza, Wilkins, Garza, Greenhill, Arriaga, Thomson, and Gaines.
