19 2 6 BLUE BQAI NET Everyone had a big time Christmas and was ready to get down to real studying for the next five months. Our attention again turns towards athletics. This time basket-ball is our first topic. At the first of the season we had championship possibilities, but W. L. Jones, a main cog in our offensive, moved from the city. Later in the season Howell Beakley received a shoulder injury, which kept him out of several crucial games. The team never lost the fighting spirit, for which “Crosby-coached” teams are famous. Considering everything, the team enjoyed a very successful season. Several days after the close of the season. Prof. Bondurant awarded gold basket-balls to the members of the team. The fellows appreciate this more than words can tell, and take this opportunity to try to express their gratitude. Since San Antonio has probably the only ice skating rink in the south, the Academy decided to produce a hockey team. This sport is comparatively new in Texas, yet with only six weeks practice, our team has the distinction of having won the first prep school ice hockey game played south of the Mason and Dixon line. A great deal of credit is due the team as they have worked faithfully without the aid of a coach. At this opportunity, we want to mention the fact that we greatly enjoyed the visit of Prof. Bondurant's brother and sister-in-law, and Lieutenant's mother and father. Mr. and Mrs. Bondurant from Virginia, and Miss Mable Vaughn, a relative of Mrs. Bondurant. We wish they had extended their visit so they could have been shown some real Texas hospitality. Baseball and track prospects look exceedingly bright this spring and, if they run true to form, are due to “cop a couple of titles.” The social committee of the faculty together with the student committee “threw'' a Valentine party for the boarders on Friday night, February the thirteenth. A good time was had by all and we are hoping we will have more this year. Dr. Eggleston delivered an address to the student body this spring, which was enjoyed by all. He is president of Prof. Bondurant’s and Lieutenant’s Alma Mater. Hampden Sidney College in Virginia. He spoke on “honesty in childhood”. It was a talk that went to the heart of every member of the student body. Again the student body was honored. This time with an address from Mr. H. H. Ochs, a prominent figure in the Lutheran church of this city and vice-president of Wolff and Marx. He spoke to us in behalf of the Humane Society of San Antonio. “No higher compliment,” said Mr. Ochs, “can be paid a man than to say: He is a Christian gentleman .” His talk proved to be most interesting and was thoroughly enjoyed by the boys. As most of the students do not live in this part of the country. Prof. Bondurant decided to treat us to a typical Mexican supper. On a pleasant Friday afternoon in March, at 5:45 o’clock, we mounted a large sight-seeing bus and departed for the Original Mexican Restaurant, where we indulged in a supper, which will never be forgotten by a single student. Orders were given for us to return via Houston street, much to the driver’s disgust. After summing everything up. the members of the student body of the San Antonio Academy have enjoyed a most successful year — scholastically, athletically and socially.
