TEXAS MILITARY INSTITUTE, SAN ANTONIO. TEXAS, IN BLUEBONNET TIME ’WHWH fW) .A foreword oo the T'fonor of a ( reat Z3eacber S555iir This volume is dedicated to the honor of a great teacher, Professor Seeley, founder of the San Antonio Academy, which in a sense is the forerunner of the Texas Military Institute. The old 'grads’ speak of him yet in tones of such genuine affection and with tributes to his fine ability to arouse in his students a love of learning and a genuine desire to know more of the great events and the great men of past times. Life in those days was slower and simpler—so the old ‘grads’ say. Athletics were not organized. Field days and baseball games were not planned weeks ahead but just happened. Lovely sponsors in attractive uniforms simply were not. Yet they tell us that Professor Seeley by the spell of his personality developed fellowship among 'his boys’ and bred in them the spirit that made ‘Seeley’s School’ (as it was often called) the outstanding institution in that remote day when Prof. B. was a very young man. The direction given by the sterling character of Doctor Seeley has resulted —with the assistance of Dr. Bondurant in the center, Prof. Culver and Prof. Meyer in the wings—in San Antonio Academy and the Texas Military Institute, of which we are so proud today.

B. 5eeley xxxx Graduate from Princeton University in the class of 1879, Master of Newark Academy, Newark, New Jersey, for three years, W. B. Seeley came to San Antonio in the year 1886, and founded the San Antonio Academy. This school he conducted with marked success until he moved to California in 1906, where he is now living in the City of Los Gatos. Dr. Seeley is a scholar of splendid attainments and a convincing teacher. But of all else he is a man. He has always been one of those delightful spirits who spread happiness wherever they go. He is tender, true, loyal and absolutely lovable. Modest and unostenta-cious. He is likewise just and generous. These qualities have so endeared him to the students who studied under him, that through the years their affection for him remains a rich and elevating influence in their lives. “His life is gentle and the elements So mixed in him that nature stands up And says to all the world 'This is a man'.’’ To him this Volume is respectfully dedicated. X ■� X DR. W. B. SEELEY X 5 x A Brief History of 5an Antonio Academy xxxx Who remembers the Seeley School on Houston Street? Who remembers it must confess to 39 years of memory. For the San Antonio Academy was founded in 1836 by Dr. W. B. Seeley, and its first home was the second floor of a business building on Houston Street, just west of the Navarro Street intersection. In those days the St. Anthony was not—and Travis Park offered a delightful playground for the Academy students for two years. But in 1888, the school had out-grown its quarters, and removed to the site of the San Antonio Academy of today, where two dwellings were combined to provide quarters for the institution; and San Pedro Park, directly across the street, offered the greatest recreation and playground that the school could have desired. Indeed, there was not even the dividing line of the street in those days, for that community was regarded as “far out in the sticks,” and only a rabbit-path connected the school with the park, where the only way across the lake lay across an old footlog. Here the school has remained for thirty-nine years, a college preparatory school of the first grade, the first Protestant school for boys to be established in San Antonio. Until thirteen years ago, when the present modern building was erected, the original frame structures, with such additions and alterations as the growth of the school demanded, served as a stepping-stone to some of the most illustrious institutions of learning in America. Princeton University alone has graduated twenty of the boys who were students at the San Antonio Academy. And in every section of the country, where the famous educational institutions are located, the name of this old San Antonio school is held in high esteem. Dr. Seeley remained with the school until 1906, when he retired; and the president of today, W. W. Bondurant, succeeded him. Under Mr. X 6 X Bondurant’s direction, the new buildings were erected, and the school has maintained its high standing of old, progressing with the best in education throughout the years. But one change has ever been made in its management. During the first year of its existence, the school became affiliated with the University of Texas. But three institutions in the State have enjoyed this distinction for a longer time. The school is located on five acres of ground, and comprises a group of three buildings. There are the school home, the administration building and the science building. From its earliest history the student body of this school has been limited to 100, and throughout the years its roster has carried the names of some of the most illustrious of the city’s families. In several instances, the second generation has followed its father’s footsteps through this school’s course into the higher halls of learning. The relations of this academy with the largest and best schools in the country have been, at all times, the most cordial that could be desired. Its course is purely preparatory, and having completed it, a boy is qualified for admittance to most any college or university that he might select. Its faculty is most carefully selected, and contributes very materially to the high standard that the school has mantained. X 7 X CONSOLIDATION OF SAN ANTONIO ACADEMY AND WEST TEXAS MILITARY ACADEMY MARKS NEW DAY FOR ROY EDUCATION IN TEXAS. DOTH SCHOOLS GREATLY STRENGTHENED. FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS SPENT ON IMPROVEMENTS. NEW BUILDINGS TO FOLLOW. CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS TO BEAR THE NAME OF TEXAS MILITARY INSTITUTE. xxxx During the late spring of 1926 the San Antonio Academy, having outgrown its location at San Pedro Park, and desirous of separating its older boys from the younger ones, began quietly to seek for additional quarters. The phenomenal growth of the school made this change imperative. In the meanwhile the Board of Trustees of the West Texas Military Academy were seeking a superintendent for their institution, in consequence of the resignation of Col. Williams. This school had enjoyed a most impressive history under the auspices of the Episcopal Church, Diocese of West Texas. A mutual friend of the two institutions conceived the idea of supplying their needs by consolidating the two schools. The feasibility of the plan was at once recognized, and after several conferences the consumation of the plan was announced. That this was done so quickly and so smoothly is a striking testimonial to the friendliness of the rivalry that has existed between these two historic institutions, and also a splendid spirit of Christian fellowship and co-operation. The West Texas Military Academy was founded by a clergyman, Bishop J. S. Johnston, of sacred memory, loved and venerated for more than two generations by men of all creeds, and all walks of life. The San Antonio Academy was founded by a Presbyterian Elder, Dr. W. B. Seeley, a graduate of Princeton, and a pioneer in private school work in Texas. rvv-' fiWisVi yW ' KKWKi III II II II p Ril ■ .11 II || II I San Antonio Academy w -AND-- Texas Military Institute F.

The only military school in San Antonio recognized by the U. S. Government and the State Department of Education. FOR OTHER INFORMATION WRITE TO THE SUPERINTENDENT X 9 X Bishop W. T. Capers of the Diocese of West Texas, succeeded Bishop Johnston as President of the Board of Trustees of West Texas Military Academy, and now serves in the same capacity for the newly consolidated schools. Dr. W. W. Bondurant, an Elder in the First Presbyterian Church of San Antonio, succeeded Dr. Seeley as head of the San Antonio Academy, and now assumes the position of President of the consolidated schools. Fifty thousand dollars were spent on improvements on the West Texas school plant. All buildings were completely renovated, refurnished and thoroughly modernized. The grounds were improved, including the athletic field. A volley ball court was erected, an indoor baseball diamond laid off, and fifteen hundred dollars spent on building three most excellent tennis courts. All improvements have been made for the sole purpose of providing the boys with modern facilities for study and recreation. This campaign is not completed. Another year will see a still greater number of improvements, a larger and better athletic field, an administration building, a recreational building and gymnasium. The building program will place the school in the from rank with the best equipped American schools. A new name for the consolidated schools was imperative. After several conferences over this question, and very generously taking the boys into confidence in this matter of vital concern to them, the euphonious name of “Texas Military Institute” was selected. This name has been accepted with enthusiasm. So “T. M. I.” is fast supplanting the old names of San Antonio Academy” and West Texas” in the hearts and minds of the cadets. And the future for this new T. M. 1. looms bright and glorious, opening up new fields and greater possibilities in this God-given work at which it has so earnestly set itself.

X 15 x x 17 X 1 GRADUATION xxxx Graduation is like getting married, it’s something that happens every year —but not to you. Sometimes it’s called Commencement. And that’s about right, because something has to be started right soon thereafter. Of course with some boys. Commencement is a start off to college, while with others, it’s a start for a job. There are always a few ‘seniors’ without sufficient credits who don’t graduate until later. Naturally Graduation in 1929 does’nt look very different from the rest of the ’20’s to the faculty—and maybe so not to the Alumni either—but it surely looks different to the fellows that are standing up together for the last time. I understand how my uncle felt last year when he was married. Why he acted as if he were the only man who had ever been married. We, too, are going out into new and untried fields and by ways that seem strange. Of course we won't, but sometimes a fellow can’t help feeling mighty young and wondering if when he gets out in the great big world he is going to do as that other little boy and “faw down and go boom.” Then it hits you in the solar plexus, when all of a sudden you realize that the old familiar bunch with whom you have travelled through the last four years of school are about to scatter—and will probably—all of them— never get together again. Then we realize—all of us—that we have been travelling with a pretty fine gang and the way that seemed so rough and rocky at times, was after all a pleasant road. And each of us, with a queer sort of feeling, gets a glimpse of the little boy who was me” (or you) four years ago. And he seems such a queer, ignorant little fellow and kind of wistful and lonesome-looking. Then we realize that old T. M. I. has done a lot of things to and for that little boy and —and—that we, you and I, owe a lot of love and loyalty to the old school. JOHN C. CARRINGTON.

X 23 X I Culture as an Aim in Education xxxx There has been much talk about culture being an aim in education. Let us first consider what is culture. According to Mr. Webster’s New International Dictionary it is: The training, disciplining, or refining of the moral and intellectual nature’’ or, in other words, “the enlightment and discipline acquired by mental and moral training.” For this definition we see that culture is what lifts people from their every day aims and standards of life— what gives them an appreciation of higher things. Surely this should be the aim of all education. Greece and Rome both emphasized this idea of culture. In the barbaric wars of the Dark Ages culture was forgotten, but it was saved from destruction at the dawning of the Renaissance. Today we live in a materialistic age; the tendency is to look on the practical side of life, and to amass money and further our own ends seems to be our chief aim. Education tends in a marked degree towards the scientific and technical and there is again the danger of sinking to the level of materialistic things. To combat this spirit we are taught at T. M. I. to return to the old idea of education. We have training in the Classics, we spend much time in studying the lives and works of famous writers, and we trace the rise and fall of nations from ancient times down to the present day. And why? That we may be lifted out of our every-day habits and occupations, and that we may gain from our study that refinement and culture which should be the aim in education. RALPH E.

KEARNY. C. The following cadets have attained the highest scholastic honor that is possible at T. M. I.—that of making the Honor Roll of the school every month of the year: JOHN C. CARRINGTON CRESSON H. KEARNY RALPH E. HAINES ANDREW J. VICK X 33 X ROBERT BURLESON IN MEMORIAM xxxx To the memory of one who meant much to us all—Robert Burleson. He won his way into our hearts with his joyful, carefree laugh. He was but a boy and yet by his cheerful ways he unforgettably endeared himself to all who knew him. We did not realize how much we loved him until it was too late. T. M. I. does not seem the same without his voice ringing throughout its halls and his ever-moving feet racing down its corridors. He had a wonderful future before him and it seems hard that he should be denied it. He stood high in his studies and he was the President of the Sophomore Class. The Sophomores, as a token of their deep love and respect for him, have never elected another head. They believe with Shakespeare that the spirit is stronger than the body and that Bob still occupies his chair at class meetings. The faculty and student body of T. M. I. unite in sorrow to do honor to his memory. —JOHN I. PIF.RCE. X 34 X Vista of the Year XX XX September 13, a fateful day, a day of joy (?), of happiness (?), the opening of T. M. I. The corridors rang with the lighthearted cries of many carefree boys—happy in the thought that once again they could match their wits against the pitfalls of Algebra and English. From all over the country, they came. Such a vast assemblage of fish” had never before been seen in the history of the school. The floors sagged precariously under their immense weight. The stage was set for the school year of 1928-29. An event of world-wide importance, the annual convention of the American Legion, held this year in San Antonio, was first to attract the attention of the student body. Serving as traffic policemen during the gigantic parade, every cadet received a first hand impression of the duties and problems of a “cop”, gaining some valuable experience which perhaps may prove priceless to some graduate in late years. How well T. M. 1. performed this task may be surmised from the letter of congratulation written several days later by a Legion official. Along came the football team, those heroes of the gridiron. And they kept right on coming. After a slow start they steadily gathered momentum until they were practically unstoppable. Strong teams crumpled before their irresistible attack. Victory followed victory. Ending the season with a thrilling, “one minute to play” triumph, these moleskin warriors resolutely upheld the name of T. M. 1. and fully deserved the nineteen letters awarded the team. Christmas! Let every boy keep his own memory of the Yule tide and the pleasant thoughts it carries. Let him keep sacred his recollections of Santa Claus and the hanging mistletoe. But old Father Time proved invincible again and the holidays ended. Starting the New Year everyone determined to make the Honor Roll. Mid-term examinations dispelled readily enough these lofty resolutions however, and the boy not content with a C was rare indeed. About this time came a proposal which met with the approval of the student body equivalent to making T. M. I. a co-educational school—that of adopting sponsors. After much argument and wrangling, after taking a vote of every cadet, ten attractive and charming girls, representing nearly every private school for girls, with one exception, in the city, were chosen for this unusual honor. With their advent came a marked change for the better among the various companies—no more dirty shoes and improper uniforms. X 35 X Basketball now came into its own. The smack of balls rebounding off backboards became familiar. With many games cancelled the team had a comparatively short schedule. Although not quite coming up to expectations, it did its part and came across with several victories as the season ended. Meanwhile Captain Henion and Sergeant Cragin had set about reorganizing the drill team, shot to pieces by many vacancies. Came along hours of practice, hours of striving to make every movement perfect. Handicapped by lack of experienced material, the drill team made up for it in spirit, the old T. M. I. spirit. The day of the Annual Competition this spirit flamed up as never before. Nothing could stop it. Sweeping Main and Brackenridge before it, the T. M. I. spirit proved supreme. In quick succession T. M. 1. won the drill competition, the individual soldier competition, the tug-o-war contest, and the relay race. Those were all on the schedule or else there would have been more cups gracing the walls of the “West Point of the South”. In honor of this sweeping triumph Prof. B. opened up his “keg of nails”, which seems to be rapidly becoming a yearly event. Two short weeks later the Rifle Team had its day. Having whipped out” to win matches from some of the leading military academies and colleges in the country, these experts of the range easily repeated their feat of the previous year and overwhelmed the city high schools to win the Junior R. O. T. C. championship of San Antonio and gain permanent possession of the challenge cup. With the bluebonnets of spring came the Fiesta. Not only did T. M. I. give the population of the city an eyeful by marching in the Battle of Flowers parade, but also about twenty five of the leading exponents of the art of doing “orders arms” without raising a thumb skyward, learned a little French, besides parley vouz” and became musketeers and Swiss guardsmen in the Coronation. Now at last the end is in sight. The final chapter of the year 1928-29 is about to be written. The “Queen” has been crowned; the athletes have laid aside their shoulder pads and baseball shoes; the last buck private had cleaned and oiled his rifle. Commencement will soon be over; and as the graduates leave the doors of T. M. 1., never to return, and go down the different roads they have chosen to follow, let us hope they will ever carry with them the ideals and teachings of their alma mater. JOHN C. CARRINGTON. X 36 X Legend of the Blue Bonnet xxxx A TOAST TO THE BLUE BONNET Here’s to the dainty blue bonnets of Texas Of fragrance most sweet and clear. Which bloom in the beautiful spring time. The favorite season of the year. To gather the dainty blue bonnets Brings to everyone glee and cheer. And we gather them as our class flower, For all our classmates dear. Texas springtime is always Blue Bonnet time. These beautiful, luxiariant flowers, symbolic of Texas loyalty, attain their mature growth and bask in the beauty of Texas sunshine. Many wonderful legends are told of the origin of the Blue Bonnet, but the lore of the Cherokees and Comanches is by far the prettiest. Many moons ago a terrible pestilence swooped down on the tepees of the Indians. Chiefs and warriors died; priests and medicine men prayed to the Great Spirit to send relief. But the Manito had turned his face from his children. Brave men and women continued to perish. At last the Great Spirit spoke. To atone for the sins of the people, an offering must be made in sacrifice. While warriors listened to the decree of the medicine men from the Great Spirit, a little Indian maiden sat in the background of the council fire and nursed her reindeer doll. To her, that doll was the dearest, most precious thing in the great camp. It was made of the white skin of a fawn, its eyes and mouth had been painted with berry juice, and for hair, it had a gorgeous flare of feathers—the blue feathers of a ,Jay. After the council fires had died down, the little Indian maiden lay awake pondering. Even as the older mothers loved their living papooses, she loved her deerskin doll—but a sacrifice must be made. At last, she slipped quietly out of the tepee, sought a dark corner in the camp and made a fire. The fawn doll crackled in the flame. When the sacrifice had been burnt to ashes, she gathered the ashes in her hand and scattered them. The next morning, the ground was covered with flowers of the same hue as the Jay feathers of the deerskin doll. The pestilence had ceased. Blue Bonnets had been born. X 3S X —P. J. FRANK. Zeta 5igma and Athenian Literary Societies During the past year the Zeta Sigma and Athenian Literary Societies resolutely upheld the customs and traditions of T. M. I. The debates were never so spirited, the arguments never so logical, the rivalry never so keen. Many an embroyo Patrick Henry and Daniel Webster thundered to the rafters in fiery argument with facts marshalled in long array, crushing beneath the power of their delivery their less able opponents. A feature of the Zeta Sigma Society was the special programs presented in the hall before the entire student body. These, in commemoration of some national holiday, were of great interest and attracted much attention. The annual Declamatory Contest in April brought the season to a close. Much credit is due the faculty sponsors, Prof. B. H. Meyer and Prof. L. M. Levy, for the success of this work, which included not only debating but also training in public speaking.

I. life, an effervescent toast to the fish”, an invitation to eat, drink, and be merry” for tomorrow night is study hall, a dance enlivened by the ghosts and goblins of hallowe'en. Next came the Football Dance”, closing a trumphant season in a blaze of glory, the reward of hours of toil—the coveted T”, a flash of autumn, of sear leaves, and scarlet berries. Following this came the Christmas Ball”, ushering in the holidays. Hanging mistletoe. Red and green holly. The cold chill of winter. Santa Claus. The Spirit of the Yuletide! Bringing in new customs at T. M. I. was the “Queen’s Ball”, marked by the coronation of the first ’Queen” and by the presentation of the sponsors of the cadet corps, a dance made colorful by restless youth and vibrant beauty. As their next attraction the Cotillion Club presented a dinner dance, in honor of Prof, and Mrs. Bondurant and Capt. and Mrs. Henion, a change from the former dances, the coronation of the second Queen”. The Barn Dance. Hay! Hay! Wagons, saddles, harness. Farmers, cowboys, miners, well-diggers, and clock watchers. Ah! Ha! Just revenge on the fish”. The refreshing smell of new-mown hay. The third Queen”. At last with the close of school in sight came the tribute to the Seniors— the “Commencement Dance”, the end of a year of fellowship, the final curtain of high school life of twenty eight graduates, farewell to T. M. I. Thus ended the year of 1928-29, a year lightened of the routine of study by occasional bursts of pleasure, a year made joyful by the efforts of the Cotillion Club. This club, an organization of the cadets themselves, has excelled, under the leadership of its president, Percy Lee Johnson, as never before in giving T. M. I. wholesome, orderly entertainment.

X 51 X Compulsory Military Training xxxx Every loyal son of T. M. 1. favors compulsory military training. We know that the best thing that can happen to a boy is to get into the habit early of conforming readily and without question to rules and regulations. He does not learn this in the public schools or in his home where he is allowed liberties and where there is no means of enforcing obedience. To be brought under a regime of fair, just dscipline is what such a boy really needs. It seems to be against a modern boy’s nature to obey—either because he is so engrossed in what he is doing or because he has fallen into the attitude of being a nonconformist to authority. A military school therefore solves the problem. We know what T. M. 1. does for a boy. It makes him subjective to authority, it causes him to take pride in his appearance, to learn to be punctual and it tends toward developing him to the highest extent—physically, mentally, and morally. In other words it gives him a healthy mind in a healthy body. No one can go to T. M. I. without being loyal to the school and true to its ideals. We have seen what our school does to raw, undisciplined freshmen, who enter resenting authority and who go out proud to obey and glorying in being a part of such an institution. We have heard much this year of the spirit of T. M. I., which has always so signally led us to victory. Yet this spirit of victory would not have been possible were it not for the discipline and training of the military regime. The old theory that military training will bring about a military attitude is fast disappearing. It is recognized now that it develops rather a higher form of patriotism. A well prepared nation is one least liable to war yet at the same time preparedness strengthens the ties of loyalty and devotion to country. RALPH E. HAINES. Jr. X 52 X X £2 X T. M. I. Military Organization in Competent Hands. Capt. Henion’s Service Great Asset to R. O. T. C. T. M. I. is peculiarly fortunate in its military detail from the War Department. Captain Karl E. Hen-ion, United States Army, is an officer of marked ability—and more. He is pre-eminently a leader of boys, enthusiastic, co-operative and sincere. His work on the drill field, on the athletic field and as Commandant of the School has already shown such enthusiastic results that he has made himself invaluable to the school administration. Capt. Henion was born on June 2, 1895, in Buffalo, N. Y. At the age of five years he entered the public schools of Buffalo, graduating therefrom in 1908. Business requirements then necessitated the moving of the family to Cleveland. Ohio, where they have since resided in the residential suburb of Lakewood. Capt. Henion attended and graduated from Lakewood High School in 1912 following which he entered Case School of Applied Science, taking up the study of mining engineering. In the spring of 1917, when the great social upheaval, the World War, caught our country in its maelstrom he, like thousands of other college students, volunteered and was ordered by the War Department to attend the First Officers Training Camp at Ft. Benjamin Harrison, Indiana. Before graduation from the camp, he was given an opportunity to be examined for a commission in the tegular army, which he successfully passed. Shortly after graduation from the training camp he relinquished his Reserve Commission and was appointed a 2nd Lt., and 1st Lt., both on the same date, in the Infantry of the regular army. He experienced the many duties of an officer of that time, doing whatever he could and was ordered to do. In 1919 he was assigned to the 23rd Infantry of the 2nd Division, part of the Army of Occupation in Germany. He later returned to this country with the 2nd Division and to San Antonio. In 1922-23 Capt. Henion attended and graduated from an eight months course at the Infantry school, following which he returned to duty with troops at Fort Sam Houston. In the spring of 1924 he was ordered to foreign service in the Philippine Islands. Upon arrival there he was assigned to duty with the Post of Manila, where he served for two years as Adjutant of the 31st Infantry and Post of Manila and Plans and Training Officer for the regiment. His two year tour being up in May, 1926, he returned to the United States and the station he likes best, San Antonio. Captain Henion. in 1920, married a San Antonio girl and has two children. He is a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity, and of the Shrine, Masonic order. SERGEANT CRAGIN’S ASSIGNMENT TO R. 0. T. C. COMPLETES STRONG MILITARY STAFF HIS I ONG SERVICE IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY Sgt. J. E. Cragin was born at Lawrence, Massachusetts, and attended the public and high schools of that city. For four years he was a member of St. Mary’s Cadet Corps of Lawrence. He enlisted in the United States Army in November, 1917, for duration of the World War. Discharged in December, 1918. Character excellent. Enlisted February, 1920, special assignment to 23rd U. S. Infantry, joined Co. C, 23rd Inf., Fort Sam Houston. Discharged, February, 1923. Character excellent. Re-enlisted February, 1923, assigned to West Texas Military Academy, as Sgt. Instructor in R. O. T. C. Unit. Discharged February, 1926. Sgt. Character excellent. Ro-enlisted in grade at Fort Sam Houston, and assigned to R. O. T. C. Unit at West Texas Military Academy, per Par. 7, Special Order No. 5, Hdq. 8th Corps Area, Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Dated Jan. 7, 1926. MILITARY DEPARTMENT xxxx The Reserve Officers Training Corps is organized under authority of Sections 40-476, National Defense Act, as amended. This Act provides for the establishment of Senior Units at colleges and universities; Junior Units at colleges (essentially military schools) and Junior Units at High School. The primary object of the R. O. T. C. is to provide systematic military training at civil educational institutions for the purpose of qualifying selected students of such institutions as reserve officers in the military forces of the United States. However, only students from colleges and universities maintaining senior units and class M schools (essentially military) are eligible, upon completion of the four years course in military science and tactics, and one advanced R. O. T. C. camp, for a commission in the officers Reserve Corps. Other schools (Public High Schools) maintaining R. O. T. C. units, do not provide as complete a course in M. S T. and hence their students are not qualified upon graduation for appointment in the Officers Reserve Corps. Texas Military Institute is an essentially Military School, and is rated Class M by the War Department. Due to the many changes made by students in their attendance at schools and subject to other conditions only a relatively small per cent of the student body are qualified upon graduation for appointment in the Officers Reserve Corps. Nevertheless, it is believed that however much the student may fall short of the necessary credits to qualify for a reserve commission, the training he receives here with its attending result of better citizenship amply repays the government for the expense involved. We recognize the fact that all men are creatures of habit and that the habits we form, good or bad, serve to mould our characters. We know that, in order to be a success in life, we must have self-discipline—discipline of mind and body; and it is largely through the acquiring of good habits and overcoming the bad ones that one is able to discipline oneself. The Military Department of Texas Military Institute endeavors to accomplish its mission as outlined by the War Department, but it also feels in so doing it is helping to better equip the young men, who come under its supervision, for their place in civil life by developing a strong, healthy body by means of well regulated and systematic physical exercise; by developing in them self-discipline and qualities of leadership, and in teaching them to have a high regard for duty, honor and country. X 56 X I . Accomplishments of the Military Department xxxx Once again the Military Department of Texas Military Institute has forged to the front with its accomplishments of the past year. In every activity, whether within the cadets corps or whether including outside competition, this department of the school has clearly excelled. The spirit displayed by every individual has been of almost highest nature possible. To stimulate interest in the daily drill and to raise the standard of the entire corps, squad and platoon competitions are held each December under the supervision of the Commandant and his Assistant. These contests are judged by officers of the regular army, and ribbons and medals are awarded to each member of the victorious units. This year the squad competition was won by the 3rd Squad, 2nd Platoon of Company “A”, commanded by Cadet Corporal R. E. Eiser; and the platoon competition by the First Platoon of Company ‘'A”, under the command of Cadet Lieut. V. D. Wedegartner, later promoted to the rank of Captain. Out of the best-drilled cadets of the school the Drill Team is formed, which represents T. M. I. in the Annual R. O. T. C. Field Day, held each second day of March in memory of Texas Independence. To secure a place in this Company long hours of training are necessary, requiring both individual and collective practice. The team this year won for the second consecutive time the championship of San Antonio, defeating Main Avenue and Brackenridge High Schools in the Annual Competition. Other events on this day were the Individual Soldier Contest, won by Cadet Lieut. F. Von Rossum, the Tug-O-War Contest, and the Relay Race, all of which were also won by T. M. I. This year marked the second year in succession that Texas Military Institute has swept the field day, winning all the contests entered. Another activity of the Military Department is the Rifle Team, which fires X 37 X small bore, caliber 22 Rifles. One of the outstanding achievements of a most successful season was the record made in the Annual 8th Corps Area Match, as a result of which T. M. I. was one of the two essentially military schools picked to represent the entire corps area, consisting of the States of Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, and Oklahoma, in the National Intercollegiate Rifle Match. Another notable accomplishment of the team was its victory in the City Match, in which it defeated teams representing Main Avenue and Brackenridge High Schools and gained permanent possession of the City Championship Challenge Cup. In this same match Leland Anderson won the Individual High Score Cup for T. M. I. In recognition of these outstanding achievements, Texas Military Institute was selected to be personal bodyguard to the dignitaries of the Battle of Flowers Association, in the Battle of Flowers parade. At the same time the school was chosen for the singular honor of furnishing cadets to act as musketeers and Swiss guardsmen in the Coronation of the Queen of the Fiesta de San Jacinto. Ending with the Annual Commencement parade and the awards of the T. M. I. medal, the highest honor attainable, the Military Department closed the successful year of 1928-29, a year of outstanding accomplishments. JOHN C. CARRINGTON. X 5S X STAFF TALCOTT, J. B..

Henion and Sgt. Cragin, enjoyed one of its most successful seasons in the history of the school. Starting out with a bang”, the team won five consecutive matches from some of the leading military schools in the country before it met its first defeat. One of its most notable achievements was its outstanding performance in the Annual 8th Corps Area Match, by which T. M. 1. gained the distinction of being one of the two essentially military schools picked from the entire corps area, consisting of the States of Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, and Oklahoma, to represent that division in the National Intercollegiate Match. As a climax to its fine season, the team won for the second consecutive year the Junior R. O. T. C. Championship of San Antonio, defeating Main Avenue and Brackenridge High Schools and gaining permanent possession of the Challenge Cup. Following are the scores of cadets representing T. M. I. in this match: Leland Anderson, 173; F. Von Rossum, 172; Shelby Kritser, 159; V. Steger, 157; and Paul Dublin, 148. Anderson won the cup for the highest individual score, regardless of team.

I. xxxx By educational opportunities I do not mean merely education in classwork and books; I mean education of the body, the mind, and the soul. When we came to T. M. I., we came, not only to acquire booklearning, but for the higher purpose of being directed into the right channel and taught how to guide ourselves in this channel to reach the goal. At this period of our life, when our body and soul is plastic, we need the gentle, molding fingers of the master artsman—experience. The opportunities of educating the body, the mind, and the soul are greater at T. M. I. than at any other school not under military regime, for to accomplish the best results, the student should be in surroundings favorable to industry; he should breathe a busy atmosphere. In the common school, left to himself to regulate his hours of study and exposed to the innumerable temptations of society and good fellowship, the pupil unconsciously or heedlessly loses valuable time. In T. M. I. life is regular as clockwork. Not only recitation and drill, but also recreation, study, and even sleep have their allotted hours. In this way we are able to learn method and acquire good mental habits, for regularity and method are not less beneficial to the mind than to the body. In T. M. 1. militarism has made obedience and proper respect for authority a second nature. The cadet, in learning to obey, has developed within himself that rarest and most precious gift, the power of self-control, which marks the noblest type of man. Moreover, there is a charm and incentive in a military atmosphere that appeals to the most sluggish nature, and inspires one to increased effort to excel. In this great country of ours the will of the people is law. Good citizens are responsible for good government and are its only defense. Therefore, though the object of T. M. 1. is not to make professional soldiers, the knowledge here obtained may be of untold value in times of danger from without or of internal trouble and dissention. Liberty and human rights are ours to defend. We know not when we may be called upon to make a sacrifice, but we must be ready always, for the hour may steal upon us when least expected. We should not ruin ourselves by maintaining a large standing army, but we need a healthy race, men of unimpaired physical development. With such material available we may have a nation armed and fear no foe. And such as this is the material that T. M. I., through her well-directed channels, produces. A. L. DUBIN. X 67 X T. M. I.

Slim can and always does get the most out of his team, giving to the school this year a real team that was hard to beat. WESTON, H., Quarter, (Captain) “Ray” The hard hitting man that can carry the pigskin through any field. Besides being the brainiest back, he was also the best broken field runner in the city. BENCHOFF, W. I ., Hair “Willie” A fast, hard hitting back, when Willie tackled the boys they knew that they had been tackled. Willie is a sure star for next year. SORBLYi, J., Tackle “Plow Jockey” Our big boy of the team. Johnnie is wonderful material for any team. Another loss to next year’s team. HYSLOP, J„ Guard “Jew Baby” A fast, hard hitting guard; although little he was by no means easy. Another man we hate to see leave us. ROCGEACX, E.

Another man that leaves us next year. BUSSELL, J., End “Jlmmlo” A diminutive end who can get down the field fast. He was one of the best pass receivers in town. Another man that leaves this year. PAYNE, B., Guard “Bony” A wall of Irish brick that no team could break. What a pity to see him go. FUKXTES, H.t End “Pup” That end of ours; one of the fastest men on the team, always in the pink of condition. He covered punts in fine style. WEDEGAHTXEK, V.

Another loss for our team next year. x i x SMITH, H., Half “Tubby” His shoes will be hard to fill next year. Did the kicking, passing, and most of the plunging. Hacked up the line and directed the team on defense. The best passer in the city. TAIjCOTT, BKLKXAP, Center The boy with guts, a hard worker. He was one of the best defensive men on the team. We hate to see him go this year. GRAHAM, J., Center “Jimmie” Small but determined and a good worker. A man who can hit in a pinch. We are expecting a lot of you next year. DUBLIN, l L., Quarter “Dub Irish” Little but loud; that’s Dub. He is one of our old men in the game. A good broken field runner and a sure tackier. Dub is another one of the boys to leave this year. SCALLORX, F., Full “Frank” He weighs only a hundred and thirty pounds, but that one hundred and thirty pounds of muscle carried the pigskin many yards. LAXDGRAF, Assistant Coach “Grand !41 ugli” Coach Landgraf did much for the team in the line, a position that he knows from experience in his college days, and when he showed a linesman a particular play it always proved to be of much value. The success of the team is partly due to the work of Coach Landgraf. 72 X T. M. I. VERSE By J. C. C.

West V. L. Wolfenberg X 77 X The Tennis Team xxxx This year, for the first time, tennis has taken its place among the athletic activities of the Texas Military Institute. It was, for the most part, prompted by the fact that Professor Rondurant had the school courts put in repair, for which we are greatly indebted to him. When the first call for the tennis team was sent out, the racquetteers of T. M. I. responded enthusiastically. A tentative list of the rating of the men was drawn up and after several weeks of playing, in which this was changed considerably, the team began to take shape. Then the matter of electing u captain came up and John E. Sorell, one of the most active members of the team, was elected by a unanimous vote. Our new captain took up his duties immediately, mapping out a schedule in which the team was to play every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Our program opened with a match with the famous Country Club, which is one of the best in the state of Texas. Although we failed to win a single match, several of our opponents stated that all we needed was a little more experience and coaching. Our schedule has included various other matches with leading teams of the city. The team is deeply indebted to two men—Coach Miller and Captain Henion —whose keen interest and helpful coaching has put tennis on the map at T. M. I. Other members of the team are: H.

I. had achieved success in every sport, and, like Alexander, needed new worlds to conquer—this was the origin of our track team. Though handicapped by a poor practice field, not completed until the seas'on was half over, these heroes of the cindered trail have proven themselves real Panthers. They started off a successful season in their first meet. This was the City Meet on April 19th, when they nosed out Brackenridge, Alamo Heights, and other strong competitors for third place. Due chiefly to their handicaps, these cadets have not brought as much glory to the name of T. M. 1. as the football team; but, in training themselves for further athletic exploits, they have probably made themselves just as useful to the old school. D. H. McKELLAR. X 79 X S§jiiSF The Panther, the little bi-monthly newspaper of the Texas Military Institute, has just completed its second successful year. This sheet is a chronicle of our activities—scholastic, athletic, and social. It features important school events and is a cross-section of our life at T. M. I. The Panther, although always desirous of general contributions, is sponsored by the Junior Class. To put over a newspaper is no easy job and this is especially true of the Panther, which receives no assistance from advertisers. Much credit should, therefore, be given to those, whose untiring efforts have been, largely responsible for the success of the paper. Special thanks go to Professor Shaw, the faculty adviser, whose backing and assistance have gone a long way toward the prosperity of the Panther. This year we are especially fortunate in having as editor, John I. Pierce, a member of last year’s staff. He has worked long and faithfully in the interests of the paper, and to him should go our deepest appreciation. Other members of the staff include Ralph Haines, business manager; Howard West, athletic editor; Hulen Carroll; joke editor; and H. J. Crase, exchange editor. The generous support of the school has more than justified the Panther’s existence and its future looks very promising. The spirit of the paper is symbolized in its name. May it always fight for the interests and success of T. M. 1. RALPH E.

The idea was readily taken up by the boys and the “T” Club was the result. The permission of the Superintendent to organize the Club was first sought. Glad to promote anything for the betterment of the school, Mr. Bon-durant granted the request. A meeting of all letter men was called after the holidays and the following officers were elected: Jimmy Russell, President; P. L. Dublin, Vice-President; Bill Benchoff, Secretary and Treasurer. The purpose of the Club is to foster athletics in general, and to regulate the wearing of letters awarded by the Athletic Committee in every way possible. The following statements set forth these purposes more explicitly: 1. To encourage men to try out for teams. There is always good material in school that never goes out for a team. We feel it a duty to encourage these men to go out for some sport and try to impress on them it is their duty to help build better teams where they have the ability to do so. 2. To encourage cadets to try out for cheer leader and help to select a regular leader. Organized cheering is always an inspiration to a team. We need an organized cheering section. 3. To look after visiting teams. There are many courtesies we can show visiting athletes while they are our guests. They take back to their school an impression of T. M. I. We want it to he a good one. 4. To set an example of sportsmanlike conduct on and off the field that will be copied by the whole student body. 5. No cadet will be allowed to wear a letter which he has not earned. Furthermore, no letter man will be allowed to wear a letter of another sport or stripes that he has not earned. A letter should signify an achievement. It should mean something. It loses its value when anyone is allowed to wear one. 6. To foster and build up a school spirit worthy of an institution of the age and reputation of T. M. I. In explanation of the fifth statement the following is the system of awards adopted by the Athletic Council: For football, an eight inch block “T”; for basketball, baseball, and track, a six inch block “T”; for each additional letter a stripe is placed on the sleeve of the sweater. A captain may wear a star. All men in school who have made a letter are members of the Club. JIMMY RUSSELL PAUL DUBLIN ..... BILL BENCHOFF ...

WILHELM X 87 X ADMINISTRATION BUILDING X XXX When summer vacation begins, it is natural for boys to imagine that they would be glad if school would never reopen. At least that is what some of us thought in May of 1928. September found us eager, though, to answer the first bugle that summoned us back to classes, drill and athletics at the Academy. September 12 was a big day. On that date the thirty-second year of San Antonio Academy and the third year of the Junior School began to unroll itself upon the pages of history. From the first day it appeared that it would be a big year. With the exception of one new teacher. Prof. Louis Holst, our teaching staff was the same as of the year before, but there w’ere many new faces sprinkled among the hundred or more that lined up in the Administration building the first morning. The year has been marked by achievements in each field of endeavor in which the Academy is famed. In addition we have had a Jolly good bunch of boys, an enthusiastic group of teachers, fair and generous even if they are believers in a full day of study, and we have had a fine time. In reviewing the school year, there are naturally some events that stand out like peaks on a mountain. To enumerate all of these would command more space than the solitary page alloted to this panoramic view. What boy doesn’t like holidays? And if they are marked by some special entertainment or diversion, they are doubly remembered. Academy boys, some of them at least, cannot recall much of the World War, but we had a chance to catch something of the spirit of the war times when the American Legionnaires made San Antonio their Mecca in October. Naturally somewhat of a military town, since Fort Sam Houston and Kelly Field are located adjacent to the city. San Antonio breathed the atmosphere of a war town when the Legion took charge for a week. There were numerous parades, some of which we saw. Then came Armistice Day, another holiday, another parade, enjoyed immensely by Academy boys because we witnessed what excellent soldiers our big brothers in T. M. I. really are. They put up an exhibition that advertised the likelihood of their being proclaimed the best soldiers in the annual R. O. T. C. competition, an eventuality that we saw duly consummated when on the first Saturday in March we gathered in Garrett Field and witnessed them carry off the first honors from Brackenridge and Main High Schools in best company drill, best individual soldier, relay race, tug-o-war, and whatnot. Of course, this is getting ahead of the story, for there were holidays for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and George Washington’s anniversary. These, however, were to be expected, but, of course, they were enjoyed. On Friday of a day in April we were given the chance of seeing the celebrated Freiburg Players in their Passion Play performance at the City Auditorium. This was truly an inspiring occasion, and furnished an incite into the life of Christ, not always secured from a reading of the Bible. Now. as this is written drill is an arduous but enthusiastic daily task. The annual Fiesta parade in which Academy has marched for the last three years, is almost upon us. This means an afternoon of parade through the city streets.— pains, aches and foot blisters, but what Academy boy would miss the thrill of it? Last year we marched just in front of Governor Moody’s automobile. Both the Governor and Academy were honored. Now rifle shooting practice has begun in earnest. Ever so often boys of the rifle teams go out to the government ranges and shoot under the direction of Lieut. Bondurant. Soon we will be at the parting of the ways. The last bugle soon will have sounded. To some of us this means the breaking of the friendly ties that have held us together for the last few' months. For it is the way of life that we must pass on. Some of us will find our way back to San Antonio Academy next fall; others w'ill pass on to T. M. I.t our brother school. But as we leave the portals of Academy we can truthfully say that the year has meant much to each one of us. Here we have had our moments of grief and gladness, our times of despair and victory, but through it all we have learned the important lesson that real success comes only from hard w'ork and that real happiness is secured only by building real character.

OCHSE X X X X During the past scholastic year, the Literary Societies, the Alamo and David Crockett, presented fine arguments for their existence. The debates were never more spirited and they aroused great interest among the students. The first meetings of the Societies were held on September 27, 11)28. at which time officers were elected as follows: For the David Crockett: President Vice-President Secretary Holmgreen .. Browne Mangum The officers for the Alamo Literary Society were: President .... Vice-President Secretary ......_.. Russell Elmer Hussmann ............ Low The activities of the two Societies were of various types. All boys had an equal chance to take part in debating, declamations, jokes, and athletics. The debates that aroused the most interest were: “Resolved: That railroads had more to do with the development of the Mississippi Valley than the River itself.” Aff.: F. Jefferies, J. Russell; Xeg.: L. Karotkin, L. T. Cummins. “Resolved: That a machinist life is better than that of a farmer.” Aff.: S. Westall, O. Womack; Neg.: I. Kampmann, I). Womack. “Resolved: That the Philippine Islands should have an Independent Government.” Aff.: J. Ballard. Win. Ochse; Neg.: J. Wilhelm. S. T. Browne. “Resolved: That Texas should be divided into two parts.” Aff.: J. Ballard, J. Grossman: Neg.: J. Jones. R. Marlow. Each time the Societies met there were several declamations on the program. Sometimes jokes and current events were given. To arouse the spirit of the two Societies several joint meetings were held. Spelling matches and debates were also features. The debates that were held in joint meetings were: “Resolved: That capital punishment should be abolished.” “Resolved: That Morse’s invention of the telegraph is of more use to humanity than the invention of the cablegraph by Field.” “Resolved: That it is better to live in the city than in the country.” X 99 X ALAMO LITERARY S(H IKTY RUSSELL HUSSMANX, E.

BASSE Best Soldier 1928-29 In order to develop the physical vigor and manliness of the students and to sharpen their mentality, a course of military training has been retained in the Junior School. While the training is not as rigid as that of the Senior School, it gives a boy in his early years self-discipline and respect for authority. The course encourages initiative and gives the young boy confidence in his ability, and at the same time develops a feeling of patriotism and respect for our nation’s flag. No institution, educational or commercial, can adequately attain its aspirations without a system of discipline, and the military feature in the educational institutions has ever been considered a valued complement to all other disciplinary agencies. The value of this training cannot be estimated on a financial basis. The physical benefits derived by the participants are invaluable. Such training adds materially to the virility of the boys; it teaches them self-reliance, self-respect and obedience— essentials that are absolutely necessary in this age of uncertainty.

ELMER HUSSMANX X Ml X THE YEAR IN ATHLETE'S Tli© opening day of school was also the first day of practice for the Academy football team, and the largest squad in the history of the junior school reported to Coach Fraker. Of these Capt. Russell, tackle, was the only letter man, but Holm-green, White, and Townsend were squad men of the preceding season whose experience proved valuable to the coach and the team. A wealth of new but rather inexperienced material was on hand. Outstanding among these new men were Westall of Houston, the Jones Brothers of Brownwood, Wilhelm of Menard. Low of Brown wood, Hussmann of El Paso. Cory and Mabry of San Antonio, and others. The first game resulted in a 6-6 tie with Lukin Academy. This was rather a disappointment to Academy fellows as Lukin had been crushed 32-0 the season before. The experience, however, proved invaluable to the green players and an improved team downed St. Annes the following week 14-6. Victories followed over Argonne Heights and St. Peter’s Orphanage. The Floresville Junior “Hi”, boasting a powerful team, won a hard-fought game at Floresville 13-6. The Jones brothers, Westall. Russell. Wilhelm, and especially Townsend starred in defeat. Floresville scored on long passes while Townsend’s recovery of a fumble gave the Academy their only touchdown. This defeat was atoned for the next week when Floresville was downed 7-0 on the San Pedro grid. Altogether it was a successful season for the Academy and the fourteen men who played enough to letter were awarded letter sweaters. Of these letter men, Townsend, Gillespie, R. Jones, and Low will return next year. White and Wilhelm possibly may report next fall also, and with such nucleus a winning team is assured. Following the Christmas holidays, basketball became the order of the day and Jarvis Jones led the team through a successful season, the highlights of which were two decisive victories over the T. M. I. Juniors, a team composed largely of former S. A. A. players. Westall was high point man in most of the games, and high scorer for the season. Six men lettered: Capt. J. Jones, Low, Wilhelm, Westall, R. Jones, and A. Moiler. Baseball, always one of the popular sports at the Academy, proved more so than usual this spring. Westall captained the team which to date has won out in a series with St. Annes and Beacon Hill. Westall and J. Jones compose the hurling staff and Low does most of the catching. Wilhelm, Davis, J.. R. Jones, Mabry, Knightlinger. White, Russell, and Goodwin make up the rest of the team. It seems to be by far the best season in the history uX tlu Junior School. No review of the athletic season is complete without mention of the second teams. Such players as Allsman, Jackson, Mabry, G.. Estrada brothers. Dodson, Johnston, and others composed the Junior teams which made fine records in football, winning all of their games in football: and they have yet to lose their first game in baseball. Most of these youngsters will be regulars within the next tw'o years. The inter-society games in football and baseball have incited much rivalry and enthusiasm. Holmgreen, big full back of the David Crockett Society team, smashed the Alamo Society line to shreds in the annual football game, scoring all the touchdowns as Crockett won 21-0. In the first game of the baseball series, the Crockett team also won a hard-fought slugging match 18-15. However, they must win one other game in order to cinch honors in baseball. A fine interscholastic season with plenty of inter-group competition at school has made athletics very popular at the Academy. Tennis and swimming came in for their share of attention, fine courts and pool being available in the San Pedro Park. FOOTBALL RUSSELL WHITE HOLMGREEN MABRY, B. TOWNSEND JONES, J. JONES, R.
