San Antonio Vocational and Technical School - Artisan Yearbook (San Antonio, TX)

Text from Pages 1 - 216 of the 1947 volume:

Foreword A philosopher recently said, Civilization is a race between Education and Catastrophe. By this he meant that the forces of evil and the forces for good are in constant struggle for supremacy and that only through education can the forces for good be made to prevail in this eternal struggle. Frequently the question is asked, What factor in our American civilization made the greatest contribution toward winning the war? In my opinion the war was won in the classrooms and laboratories of our American schools and colleges during the past fifty years. Had we not had the education and training and the resultant industrial development and scientific knowledge necessary to design and build the machines of war by which we over-came our enemies, we would have been hopelessly defeated. It must be realized that education is specific — that there is no so-called general education that trains the mind so that it can go forth and apply itself to any job at hand. The mind functions and has ability in the fields for which it has been trained. Training in one field does not train for another except in so far as there be common elements in the two fields. With this in mind our public schools must educate our people to meet their needs and the demands of living that face them today. We must not only be trained to meet the civic and social needs of today but also our needs in the fields of technical and industrial production. We are living in an exceedingly technical and scientific age. The race for supremacy among the nations will be won by the most effectively trained in the fields of science and technology. Not only do we need technical and scientific training for maintenance of our national supremacy but also for the pursuits of peace at home. Individuals are not born with knowledge; they are born only with the capacity to acquire knowledge through training and development. It is the function of Vocational Education through vocational and technical schools specifically to train our people for the specific- vocational and technical demands of our highly complex civilization. International supremacy and success in the pursuits of peace will rest with those nations that give the greatest attention to the education of its people. Therefore, we must educate all of our people to their fullest capacity in every field of human interest and endeavor; develop and conserve our national resources; build our industries and develop our commerce and agriculture; and promote our civic, social and cultural life. Basic to these national ends there must be a comprehensive system of free, public education from kindergarten to college, where all of the people can develop their talents and acquire wisdom and knowledge so that each may make the greatest contribution possible to the common welfare.

Advertisements To the workers of our nation who I trough unselfishness and devotion are Trying to rebuild a forlorn world. And only the master shall praise us, and only the master 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 draw the Thing as he sees It for the God of Things as I hey Are! —Kipling PAGE 6 o M ■ M r l 3 i) FIRST BUILDING THIRD BUILDING SECOND BUILDING FOURTH BUILDING TECH HISTORY Way back in 1878, when streetcars and horse and buggies were still the fashion in San Antonio, the corner-stone of our public school education was laid. Standing on the present Gunter Hotel site, the San Antonio High School taught all grades from first to last, but as the city and the state grew, the demand for a better, more extensive education began to be recognized. In the early eighties, a transfer was made from the original site to the present position on Main Avenue; hence the name — 'Ole Main High. Then as the years slowly ground into the twentieth century, new ideas demanded realization. The school, growing larger all the time, needed a form of communication. The Huisache, a small paper, was created to answer that need. Clubs and organizations began to function. . . more efficient and larger buildings were added to the school. . . students were more capable of handling their own affairs. . . and time went on. As ideas of education advanced, it became imperative to train our workers to develop our citizenry. A new school was needed — a vocational, a technical institution. The problem was “Where to put it?'' In 1932, conversion came and old Main Avenue became the San Antonio Vocational and Technical School — mecca for all students who demanded skilled training in their work. So here we stand today — the largest vocational school in the South! PAGE 10 PAGE 11 Administration San Antonio Independent School District Board of Education MR.

He also holds the degree of Master of Science from Texas A. M. He is a member of the Alpha Chi and Phi Delta Kappa Societies. During his school days, he worked as a carpenter, painter, helper to a brick mason and as an electrician. Before coming to Tech in the fall of 1935 as a teacher of elementary electricity, he taught general metal shop at Poe Junior School. In 1939, he became vice-principal of Tech and in 1943, principal. During the summer of 1940, he acted as director of national defense training in San Antonio and in 1943 as director of war industries training in San Antonio. PAGE IS Mr. Frank P. Cunningham, a native of San Antonio, attended local public schools. He was graduated from Main Avenue High in 1928 and continued his education at the San Antonio Junior College. He later attended the University of Texas, where in 1932 he received the degree of Bachelor of Business Administration. He also holds the degree of Master of Arts from the Colorado State College of Education. He began his teaching at Tech in 1932 as an instructor of business subjects, in addition to serving as school treasurer for eight years. In 1942 he became viceprincipal and dean of boys, only to have his term of service interrupted by a stretch in the army, where he attained the rank of sergeant. In the latter part of 1946 he returned to Tech to resume his duties as vice-principal and dean of boys. Mrs. Juanita De Pue, born in Knox County, is a native of West Texas. Her schooling began in Benjamin, Texas. After being graduated from high school here, she did undergradute work at San Marcos State Teacher's College and The University of Texas. Obtaining her B. A. from the Incarnate Word College in San Antonio, she continued graduate work at Columbia University, securing her M. A. from St. Mary's University. In 1928 she came to Main Avenue, where she taught math and sponsored the school annual. In 1932 when the vocational school was organized, she remained to teach English and to sponsor the first Tech annual. In 1935 Mrs. De Pue was appointed to her present position as dean of girls.

They, who through kindnesses and tolerance have bolstered our morale and taught us truth. These are our never forgotten friends, who have laughed with us and played with us, who have scolded and punished us in time of need. Never once asking for compensation but always striving to contribute more to the building of our future. To them we owe our love and deep appreciation. PAGE 28 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS or¥P L.M.

Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else, The day what belongs to the day — at night the party of young fellows, robust, friendly, Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs. —Walt Whitman SOPHOMORE CLASS ( OFFICERS OF J.

Quiet — man at workl Majorettes in perfect linell PAGE 72 What Do You Think ? If we concede that man's occupation is a most vital influence in his life — that it affects his relationship to his family and his neighbors, his position in the community, his contribution to state and national affairs — then we should put a broad interpretation upon training for work. Perhaps we should take another look at our programs of vocational education. Is the skill and knowledge necessary to pursuing an occupation, enough? A man probably spends more of his waking hours on the job, with his working associates, than in any other pursuit. It is highly important that he pursue an occupation to his liking, and one which challenges his intelligence and satisfies him. It is necessary that he obtain training which develops the requisite skills, abilities, and knowledge both for entrance into this chosen occupation and for satisfactory continuance in it, and advancement. But for satisfactory continuance and advancement it is important that his education and training enable him to meet more than the manipulative requirements. He must get along with his fellow workers, with his boss, with his union. He should be able to so conduct himself that his association with others is satisfactory to himself and contributes to a general up-grading-slow, perhaps, but necessary to any occupation, trade, or profession. The schools preach the importance of tolerance, of understanding, of open-mindedness, and good citizenship, but too often these are words which do not carry over into the actualities of everyday life after the majority of young people have finished their in-school education. State and national legislation, union contracts, slum clearance, community leisure-time activities, are talked about by the average worker but are left for someone else to manage. As a result they are not to the satisfaction of those vitally affected. The thoroughly trained worker-citizen must be able to take his place in the community as a recognized individual force, and make a contribution to community life. He should not hesitate to attend public meetings or banquets, should not be afraid to offer suggestions, should know something of parliamentary procedure and should be able to preside at such gatherings. Too frequently he leaves all such articulation to others, not because he does not have worthwhile ideas and good understanding of his local or state needs, but because of a feeling of inadequacy. Every worker finds a need for such abilities when he reaches adulthood and too often does not realize his handicap until then. Our vocational schools, and high schools with terminal vocational courses, have an obligation to provide more than job skills and related technical training. Youth must be given all training necessary to thorough competence as citizens as well as workers. AMERICAN VOCATIONAL JOURNAL PAGE 75 Architectural Drafting TECH PRESENTS ITS ARCHITECTURAL DRAFTSMEN For thousands of years mankind has practiced architecture. From the time the first builder placed one stone upon the other to give himself a place for shelter, man has been planning and building himself into posterity. Tech trains these builders. She gives them practical problems and practical solutions. This year miniature model homes have been constructed and set up in the classroom — a two story Masonry residence in addition to a cottage with three bedrooms and a bath and a half. This is practical work to serve a practical world badly in need of homes and homebuilders. DRAFTING I - II Adamson, G. F. Aranda, Armando Cerna, Jesse Cobb, Bill J.

They learn to make electromagnets, bells, buzzers, and small motors; they also do simple wiring jobs. This past year they have made toasters, transformers, and small alternating current motors, which they place on exhibit in the shop show case. This gives every student an opportunity to show his initial progress. When a student leaves this shop, he is prepared for the real shop of electricity. This course is just a pre-primer'' for the more advanced class. Almost every industry in the world needs not only engineers but also well trained draftsmen to put these plans on paper. The engineering drafting department at Tech offers six one-semester courses in drafting and related mathematics, all of which credits will be accepted by the colleges. In addition to being able to draw accurately and legibly the draftsmen must also have a great deal of knowledge of engineering practices which they may obtain by learning such things as elementary mechanical drawing, lettering, dimensioning, orthographic projection, missing line and missing view problems and other varied subjects. Engineering Drafting TECH PRESENTS ITS ENGINEERS Garment Manufacturing TECH PRESENTS ITS GARMENT MANUFACTURERS This shop is summed up in the terms of perfect style, perfect fittings, competent operations, power machines, and girls.

The men who know this vocation are skilled and necessary workers — important to the easy functioning of our modern life. The Tech Auto Shop is the training ground for such men. Under the direction of Mr. Tune the students learn to adjust and completely to over-haul an automobile. The advanced group of boys get experience by working on automobiles belonging to students and the faculty. These boys are trained from the very beginning to avoid accidents, and the careful workman finds the mechanics trade wholly satisfactory from a safety stand point. Under the part-time cooperative program in distributive education, the student works for the employer one-half day and attends school the other half. During the two-year training program, where emphasis is placed on guidance and training, the student is paid in two ways: first, he learns a business from the ground up, second, he receives a definite salary. Cooperating with the distributive education program are the following types of firms: insurance offices, public utilities, grocery stores, lumber yards, hardware concerns, storage firms, specialty shops, and department stores. Distributive Education TECH PRESENTS ITS D. E. WORKERS Diversified Occupations TECH PRESENTS ITS D. O. BOYS The diversified occupations is a part-time cooperative training program in which school and industry cooperate in providing student with trade training. Designed to maintain a close correlation between the subject matter being studied in school and daily work experience of the student on the job, this program gives the student training in a variety of occupations on a part-time cooperative basis. Many of the students do work in such shops as auto, butcher, electric, jewelry manufacturing and repair, andphotography. Nine months' work every afternoon combined with three hours' school every morning give a full year's high school credit. It offers an easy transition from the school to the job. D. O.

The distributor's club has local, state, and national affiliation. The members meet twice a month. The programs are of a business, instructional, and social nature. The club's colors are blue and gold with the same insignia carried on the Distributor's Pin. This club is educational and gobs of fun at the same time. PAGE 120 Distributor’s Club Girls’ Glee Club Clear and mellow as nightingales are the harmonizing voices of the Glee Clubbers. A looked-for attraction by every student, they shine at assemblies, plays and programs. These chorus members are always ready and willing to give their services for the entertainment of others. During the past term, the Glee Club has honored the students and the faculty by participating in the Thanksgiving Assembly, the Christmas pageant, open house, commencement, and by introducing the new school hymn at the Student Council assembly. The Glee Club's untiring efforts to promote more spirit throughout the year by continual practice of long hours wins the undying praise of the student body. Fir� « Row C. Acosta M. Acosta R. J.

Meet our Frank Sinatras — the wonderful Boy's Glee Club of Tech, composed of veterans and students who make our girls swoon and our boys jealous. Blending beautifully with the Girl's Glee Club, the combined voices are lifted in song. From the Welcome Assembly in September to the day school closes in May, their talents are always at the service of the school and its organizations. Of course, days of work are spiced by lots of fun — picnics, parties, and dances. Sponsored by Miss Mona Nordyke, they are proof positive that music hath charms to soothe the savage breast.

The club was organized in September and is rapidly growing under the supervision of Mr. McComb. The membership is composed of those students interested in engineering drafting, who want to learn the use of the slide rule and to learn the more involved work of engineering. Social activities are not entirely left out, for every year a dance, party, or picnic is given. Students interested in an engineering drafting course should certainly look into this club and learn while having fun! First Row E. Aguirro A. Gonzalos C. Graves H. A. Ibarra PAGE 123 First Row L.

Under the able leadership of Mrs. May and Charles Hack, this group is maintaining the high standard set in 1935 for the development of leadership and cooperation. With an average attendance of thirty, the members learn the solution for practical and industrial problems, operation of the Slide Rule, and the use of the Simplified Flight Calculator. But it isn't all work and no play. The Christmas program and the spring theater parties are functions that serve as ice cream on top of the cake of hard work. PAGfc 124 Math Club Tech Drafting Club Greetings: This is not a summons from Uncle Sam but an invitation to the Tech Drafting Club. The members of this organization have regular monthly meetings with a business session first, followed by work on drawings. At the end of the meeting an attendance prize is given, the recipient of which is determined by the spinning of a wheel. The members collect this money by paying fines whenever someone is a meanie during the meeting. Super weiner roasts before Christmas, big picnics in May with baseball and swimming make for a wonderful time. Organized in 1941 and sponsored by Mr. Studhalter, this club will accept only eighteen members. First Row W. Boldt, Pres. P. Bowman J. Cheslyn H. Haberkorn Socoad Row C. Hack. V. Pres. E.

Join the Pan American Club and enter into the gala world of dances, plays, and loads of fun. Biggest event of the year for both the school and the club is the Pan American Assembly, which is given to introduce the club to students who might be interested in joining. Miss Patterson, sponsor of the club, directs and plans the assembly. Adelina Ramirez, an outstanding Pan American Member, has honored the school several times by doing typical Spanish dances in assemblies and programs. The main purpose of the Pan American Club is to create good will towards our neighbors.

Motivated by a vital interest in healing, these girls study all topics important to the art of nursing. Their meetings develop their personalities and characters. But it is not a group of all work and no play. The Halloween party, replete with ghosts and witches and goblins, was a howling success. At Christmas time, the girls greeted the Yule season with their traditional Christmas dance. Time marched on and so came Spring and with it the gay Spring dance for the members of the class of '47. Aiming to better themselves and their surroundings, they are doing no end of good for Tech. First Row R. Barron M. H, Benavides T. Cantu E. Castano O. Cerda Second Row L. Davila M. J. De La Garza G.

Why, yesl Starting off with a black cat as their symbol, the Technician Staff clawed their way into every advisory by selling 100% subscriptions, which job, according to the students, isn't very hard. Reporters that know how are seen every day scraping up scoops and getting the latest for The Technician. News on club activities, advisory activities, shop work, students, and faculty are written by these reliable reporters. Hand in hand, Mrs. King, sponsor, The Print Shop, Mildred Van Ness, editor, work together to give Tech a good school publication bi-monthly. PAGE 128 Technician Staff Press Club Tech's ole Press Club has been reorganized completely. The membership has grown to such an extent that the group now holds only the general monthly meeting in the cafeteria instead of the two in the Technician office. At this meeting the members have entertainment and refreshments. Twice each month, reporters from all Tech clubs, shops, advisories, commercial departments and extra reporters meet with Mrs. Edith King, sponsor, in Room 115 on the consecutive days of the week. Mrs. King was presented with a gold lapel watch on the back of which was engraved Press Club 1946, at the club's Christmas party last December 3, 1946. Firs! Row M Acosta G Aguirre I.

Everyone who has the pleasure of visiting the Dean's office should send a note of thanks to the Student Council for the attractive comfortable seats which this organization has provided.

The activities include selling Tech notebooks, helping in the all club dance, and complimenting the seniors with a farewell banquet, the most colorful activity of the year. Being a junior member of the Y. W. C. A., the girls have the opportunity to meet members of other clubs which belong to the Y. W. C. A.

The members have certain achievements and goals, traditions which they work hard to meet. Their loyalty in supporting Tech has been a splendid example for all of us.

Steve Borrego, 1st Lt. Isidor Pantuso. Regimental Staff Under the guidance of Captain Porter, Sgt. Wade, Sgt. Boehner, and Sgt. Files, Tech's 1946 Regiment had a most successful term. Cadet Colonel Robert Lopez and his staff commanded a snappy, well disciplined unit. Cadet Lt. Col. Joe Siller, who succeeded Robert Lopez as Cadet Colonel for the spring semester, coordinated his battalion into top form. Cadet Lt. Col. Leo Gonzalez had his battalion, which was composed mostly of inexperienced cadets, into top shape in no time. Theory and practical work kept the cadets busy all year round. All kinds of weapons had to be learned piece by piece. Drill had to be coordinated within the units. Even though the standard was higher than it had ever been before, the regiment retained its form with which it has won so many honors. PAGE Ml PACE 144 1st Lt. Roland Ramirez Capt. Philip Caballero 2nd Lt. Frank Barrera Company UA” Company A is one of the most outstanding companies of the Tech R. O. T. C. Regiment. It won first place among all other companies for four consecutive months. This is rarely achieved because of the competition offered by the rest of the companies. With the able assistance of the 1st and 2nd Lts. Company A excelled in discipline and courtesy and was represented on the R. O. T. C. drill team with twelve members. Company A also had three cadets representing it on the Tech rifle team. The company was best only because of the excellent cooperation between officers and enlisted men. 1st Lt. Herman Franks Capt. Frank Valdez 2nd Lt. Jimmy Rodriguez Company UB” Company B” had a small but well disciplined and trained group of cadets. Courtesy and all around good behavior were easy to see in the Company. Excelling both in theory and drill, they rapidly acquired necessary R. O. T. C. experiences. The close order drill was done with precision and snappy movement. The officers were above average in their manner of giving commands. The company placed second all through the year, all work being done with high spirit so that the cadets had a very enjoyable term. PAGE 145 1st Lt. Daniel Gonzales Capt. Louis Tamez 2nd Lt. David Manriquez Company “C” Under able command Company C excelled in drill. Theory was studied hard by all, and cooperation was shown consistently. The company held morning drills often and showed top form early in the semester. Its few inexperienced cadets demonstrated enthusiasm and interest in all their work. The company furnished its quota of drill team and rifle team members. The drill team members from Company C were chosen very carefully. In tough competition, Company ”C held third place throughout the term. However, the spirit of the cadets never dwindled but kept mounting to a higher peak. PAGE 146 2nd Lt. Caesar Vela Capt. Rudolf Graf 1st Lt. Ronnie Castro 2nd Lt. Leo Padilla Company UD” Company D was one of the largest companies in the regiment. Composed of five officers and forty-seven men, this company was noted for its cooperation. This unit won the honor of being best company during the month of September. Members could always be counted on to do their part in any project or activity that the regiment undertook. All kinds of drills and exercises were practiced often to attain coordination and precision. Special attention was given to physical training. In all, Company ”D was highly successful, and every cadet felt that he had learned something which would be useful to him in the future. PAGE 147 Capt. Gavino Martinez 1st Lt. Manuel Imperial Company “E” Having only one senior enrolled somewhat handicapped Co. E at the start of the semester. However, the junior leaders showed good judgment and leadership. Cooperation was significant among the cadets and officers. Interest and enthusiasm were the driving forces that held their unit together. Their faults were encountered and corrected. Morning drills and practices were held regularly. The exercise the cadets obtained in the morning seemed to do them good. They had eleven drill team members and two rifle team members who represented their company well. PAGE 148 2nd Lt. Robert de la Mora Capt. Tony Montalvo 1st Lt. Richard La Field 2nd Lt. Henry Zoeller Company “F” Having the largest company and largest average of new cadets per company in the regiment, Company F succeeded in placing fourth several times. Although the company was composed of mostly inexperienced cadets, the determination and spirit ran high throughout the term. The cooperation between officers and cadets was something to be admired. Drill was exceptionally good, and discipline was stressed at all times. The cadets liked the training and concentrated on their assigned duties. Their share of guard details was furnished regularly, and they took active part in the drill team and rifle team by contributing members. PAGE 14!) Maj. Gavino Martinez 355, Sgt.

Winning first place in the Regional Randolph Hearst Trophy match, these boys fired a team total of 916 out of a possible 1,000 poihts. This team, plus an additional ten men, will fire for the National match, the additional ten including Johnny Cortinas, Manuel Imperial, Roland Zapata, Joe Rodriguez, Ysidro Salazar and Raymond Martinez. A target the size of a fifty-cent piece is fired on from the distance of fifty feet. To make it, the cadet must hit the very center, which is the size of a 22-caliber bullet. Using only their own time for practice, the cadets on the team must work diligently to become expert shots. PAGE ISO 1st Battalion in review.

With Tech as their first thought, the Red Jackets have become a tradition here. These girls spend a great deal of their time working for the benefit of our school. Their uniform is a tailored, white, long-sleeved dress with bow-tie at the neck, complete with a red weskit and trim white shoes and socks. You'll see them drilling at school, preparing a fancy drill for every football game. They work hard for teachers during registration and after school all through the year, usher at all types of social and civic events, and help new students become acquainted with Buffalo Land. They faithfully cheer our Buffaloes at all basketball games and parade the name of Tech wherever they go. The Red Jackets is not an organization of all work and no play. You'll understand what we mean if you should ever walk down Houston Street and see a lot of girls in tatters looking like tramps. Don't be alarmed — it's the Annual R. J. Hobo Hike! We have a great many outings, and at the end of the year we have our Red Jacket Banquet. At this affair the graduating seniors say farewell to the organization. This is a very sentimental sissy time for us, with even a tear drop here and there. Much credit goes to these hard-working girls for upholding the honor of Tech. They work hand in hand with the faculty and students here at school and with civic organizations. Ready and willing to help anyone at anytime— these are the Red Jackets of Tech High School!

Known to everyone at Tech as Coach, Pat Shannon is exceedingly popular with all students. From football season through spring training, Coach Shannon lives along with his players. Every football play and tactic of his is carefully thought out by his continuous writing and rewriting of formations. Coach Shannon has taught at Tech only a couple of years, but in that short time has won the confidence of everyone. With a twinkle in his eyes and a dimple in his chin, Coach Shannon is most popularly known by his, You look like a football player, you act like a football player, but I don't know, boys! PACE 159 “A Football Team This year's squad was formed around a nucleus of eleven returning lettermen. The team, under the leadership of Head Coach Shannon and Line Coach Wyble, never gave up fighting for their school although at times the odds were against them. These boys are probably the only team in Tech's history that ever played football in a flood and played out a winning game. Manager, Mauro Galvan; Harold Prochnow, co-captain and Caesar Bernal, co-captain. The team chose as their co-captains Caesar Bernal, lineman, and Harold Prochnow, back fielder, both boys highly deserving of the posts. They showed leadership and love for their school by exhibiting their sportsmanship in every game. Manager, Roy Potter “B” Football Team The Tech B Team Billygoats are the lads who have just started playing football in high school and who are gaining much needed experience by playing with boys of their calibre in the Alamo league. These boys, under the coaching of Mr. John McCollum, possessed much brawn and some speed, but lacked the required experience. Next year these lads will be filling the shoes of the graduating Buffaloes and will get a chance to do their part for dear old Tech. Leading scorer for these boys was 135 pound Richard Almarez, who will more than likely have a berth on the “A squad next year. Vocational Rivals 1 ech B,sons hmen Display ork E. J. Swindler .

FOOTBALL SUMMARY Corpus Christi — S Dtember 20 Tech's Buffaloes opened the '46 football season by taking a 70-0 walloping from a strong Buccaneer eleven in Corpus. Lanier — September 25 The Buffs came back in their second game of the season to swim to a 19-0 victory over the Lanier Voks in a down pour of rain in Alamo Stadium. Robert E. Lee snagged a pass from Delmar Sikes on the Lanier 38 yard line and sprinted the remaining distance behind beautifully executed blocking by Tech's linemen for the first score, and for the second tally he scored on a right end sweep. E. J. Swindler scored the third touchdown on a 17 yard jaunt off right tackle. Harold Prochnow pulled in an aerial from Sikes in the end zone for the extra point, completing the scoring. PACE ICt Burbank — October 5 In their third gridiron battle against the Burbank Bulldogs, the Buffs started their scoring with a bang by taking a 12-0 lead in the first minute and sixteen seconds of play and then coasted to a 12-6 victory. Lee raced the opening kickoff back 83 yards for the first score. Several plays later, after Tech had regained possession of the ball on a fumble, E. J. Swindler took the pigskin from the tailbacks slot and lumbered through the Bulldog defense for 21 yards and the second Bison tally. Austin — October 11 The powerful Austin Maroons flew into San Antonio to defeat the Buffs 53-7. Raymond Larralde, little Buff quarterback in the T formation, bucked the big Maroon line for the score. Sikes kicked the extra point. Harlandale — October 17 Harlandale and Tech battled up and down Alamo Stadium turf for four quarters only to leave the field in a 0-0 deadlock.

Jim McMahon leaping up in the air among Brackenridge pigskin toters to catch an aerial from Sikes. Laredo — October 25 After Delmar Sikes had heaved a long pass to his teammate Martin Garcia in the end zone for 6 points and the first score, the Laredo Tigers came from behind to defeat the Buffs 18-6 in Alamo Stadium. Kerrville — November 1 The Buffs journeyed into the heart of the hills to play the Tivy Antlers of Kerrville only to come out on the short end of a 13-6 score. Sikes passed to E. J. Swindler in the right flat for the lone Tech touchdown. Alamo Heights — November 7 The Alamo Heights Mules downed the Buffalo eleven by a mere extra point as both elevens gave all they had in one of the most crucial battles of the season. The classy throwing arm of Sikes hit pass-snagging Swindler in the end-zone for 6 points, but the game ended 7-6 favoring the Mules. PAGE 1«« Brackenridge — November 14 After being inspired by two days of rallying on the part of the entire student body and faculty, the Buffs went out and battled the Brackenridge Eagles in the traditional color day game, only to be outscored 35-7. The score was made on a pass from Sikes to that glue-fingered end, Jim McMahon. Harold Prochnow booted the ball squarely between the uprights for the extra point. Jefferson — November 22 Playing their last game of the season against the state finalists, the Thomas Jefferson Mustangs, the Buffaloes exhibited one of their best games of the season. After the Mustangs had scored early in the game, the Buffs started a passing attack down the field with Sikes hitting Arnold Woodpecker Ruchti, Tech's end, with pass after pass. Finally, Ruchti shot into the Jeff secondary and Sikes hit him with a touchdown pass. The conversion was made by Prochnow and that tied up the score. The Mustangs came back later to win by a 34-7 margin. Lee taking off on a jaunt while looking for a hole in the Brackenridge defense. 1. Lee, Father and Sons. 2. Dynamite Potter and Little John . 3.

PAGE 1G8 BASKETBALL COACH WARREN WYBLE A charming personality and a word of cheer for every one are but a few traits of our new head basket ball coach and line coach in football, Mr. Warren Wyble. Coach Wyble hails from Port Arthur, Texas. He attended Thomas Jefferson High School of that city and then continued his education at St. Mary's of Texas in San Antonio, where he lettered three years in football and earned his Bachelor of Science Degree. Mr. Wyble has been coaching in Texas High Schools for eight years. We hope his stay at Tech will be a long and prosperous one.

Basketball The Tech Basket-bailers greeted the season with six lettermen, one squad-man, and a new coach. While the majority of the students worked during the Christmas holidays, the round ball handlers practised in every gym situated north, south, east, and west in the city. The team of '47 lacked height; but what they lacked in height they made up with speed and endurance. Every time the red and white came on the court their opponents were due for some fast running. Mr. Wyble was a firm believer of getting there fastest, with the most-est. In many games his beliefs were justifed. B Team Regulars: Ruben Gomez, Henry Beltran, Harry Haberkorn, Maurilio Ortiz. Howard Davidson, Jesse Verdin, Oscar Vargas, Manager Alfonso Amaro. This year, it so happened that the district was divided. Literally speaking, Tech was thrown into the lions' den. The going was rough and tough from the tip off to the final shot that ended every game. At this moment, we take the opportunity to bestow praises on that deserving group of boys, commonly called subs. They are the boys that really build the first string. The team, with the exception of one player, was composed of seniors. Their final game was their exit from high school basketball. When the game ended, it meant the end of high school basketball for eleven Techmen true. To the future teams of Tech the basketball team of 1947 wish all the luck in the world. And maybe, someday, not too far off, the group of boys known as the basketball team will have their own gym. Wilson and Schauer leaping for the ball.

PAGE 174 TRACK COACH JOHN McCOLLUM Coach John McCollum, our head track and B team football coach, was born in Luling, Texas, but moved to San Antonio in his early childhood. He attended Brackenridge High School and then started his college studies at Texas A M, transferring later to the School of Mines at El Paso, Texas, for one and one-half years. Then he went to San Marcos State Teacher's College, where he received his Bachelor of Science Degree. Later on Mr. Mac did post graduate work at A S M and received his Master of Science Degree. In 1923 Coach Mac began his coaching career at Harlandale High School for two years and then moved to the City Athletic Association as coach of Harris Junior School. Here he made quite a name for himself as a track coach by winning the junior high school city track championship for eleven consecutive years. Mr. McCollum came to Tech in 1942 and served one and one-half years before Uncle Sam called him into the Air Force where he served as a first lieutenant for thirty-four months. He returned to Tech last year in time to coach the B football team and a track team which was one of the best in the city. PACE 175 Sprint Relays Tech's 1947 team is looking into a rosy future with seven of its 1946 champions returning and some very good squadmen of that year added. Last year these boys won three beautiful trophies and scores of metals. These track trophies were the first ones won in that sport for this school since 1928. The Tech team holds its football relay in the Border Olympics, and it also holds the mile medley in the Austin High relays. Jim McMahon and Caesar Bernal were on the team again this year to defend their mile and 880 crowns respectively. Tech's cindermen got their first test of the year at the Border Olympics at Laredo, Texas, on March 7-9, returning in triumph with honors for the good ole red and white. Track team at work. Track team loafing. Whee-e-e-e-e! A GYM at last! Track Propaganda By Coach John J. McCollum I was asked the other day how old track is. Well, I don't know exactly, but I would say it is as old as the human race. I can imagine a stone age man in a race with the saber-toothed tiger, his goal the cave in which he lived, his reward not a medal but life. The spectators were the monkeys in the trees. The earliest records of organized track meets can be found in Greek literature telling about the Olympian games in 776 B. C. Who can take part in track? In track there is a place for everyone. No matter what size or build, every boy finds something in his play that he can do a little bit better than most of the other boys, whatever it is. By training, application, and enthusiasm you can become a fine competitor, maybe even a champion. If you are big for your age, you may be a weight thrower. If you are slender with long legs, perhaps the hurdles or the high |ump may suit you. If you are the last boy to be caught in Fox Across the River, maybe you are tlje dash man. Maybe it takes you a long time to run your man down, then it's the distance events. If you like bar work tryout for pole vault, etc. PACE 178 PA«E 179 0 1. Busy as a bee. 2.
