One of the most widely affiliated institutions in the South. 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 S. A. BARCLAY Best Drilled Cadet X 6 X THE FOUNDING OF T. M. I. X X X X A new day dawned for education in the South with the consolidation of San Antonio Academy and West Texas Military Academy in 1926. Both schools were greatly strengthened and the result proved gratifying to all concerned. A mutual friend of the two schools conceived the idea of uniting them and the feasibility of his plan was at once recognized. That the consumation of this project was carried out so quickly and so smoothly is a striking testimonial to the friendliness of the rivalry that existed between these two historic institutions. West Texas Military Academy was founded by an Episcopal clergyman, Bishop J. S. Johnston, of sacred memory, loved and venerated by men of all creeds and all walks of life. 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. 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 consolidated schools. Dr. W. W. Bon-durant, an Elder in the First Presbyterian Church of San Antonio, succeeded Dr. Seeley as head of San Antonio Academy, and now assumes the position of President of the united schools. A new name for the consolidated schools was imperative. After several conferences over this question, and after very generously taking the boys into confidence on the matter, the euphonious name of Texas Military Institute was selected. The name was accepted with enthusiasm from the first and is steadily supplanting the old names of “San Antonio Academy” and “West Texas” in the hearts and minds of all interested in the welfare of the school. After the consolidation, fifty thousand dollars were spent on improvements on the West Texas school plant. All buildings were completely renovated, refurnished, and thoroughly modernized. Since then other improvements have been steadily made with the sole purpose of providing the boys with adequate facilities for study and recreation. And so the future for T. M. I. 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 7 X THE BLUE BONNET OF TEXAS X X X X It blooms upon our prairies wide And smiles within our valleys, A Texas flower and Texas’ pride, Around it honor rallies; And ever)’ heart beneath the blue Transparent sky above it In Texas wise forever true Shall fold and hold and love it. The winds that softly round it blow Breathe out in song and story The fame of bloody Alamo And San Jacinto’s glory; And everywhere beneath the sky That lovingly bends o’er it, With glowing heart and kindling eye All Texans true adore it. It blossoms free in homes and fields. Made by love’s labor royal; To Fleur dc-I.is or rose none yields Allegiance more loyal! And to the world its fame shall go And tell the Lone Star’s splendor Of hearths and homes that gleam and glow Of loving hearts and tender. 'Tis Texan in its beauty rare And honest hearts appealing; And can there be a fame more fair Or deeper depths of feeling? For Texas hearts in Texas-wise, Are true to the Blue Bonnet And love it as the bright blue skies That pour their blessings on it. . John P. Sjolandtr. Bluebonnets have inspired the poet’s pen, the artist’s brush, the cowboy’s dreams, and the orator’s eloquence throughout the prairie lands of Texas. The blooming of the bluebonnets is a spring festival here similar to the fete of the cherry blossoms in Japan, the festival of the daisies in England, or the celebration of the iris in France. It is a yearly miracle when the fields cast aside their drab winter garments and come forth decked in the beautiful blue of a Texas sky. The bluebonnet is a great home lover; it is said that it never crosses the border into other states. Even so it has a marvelous range considering the size of Texas. The bluebonnet is unrivalled in color and shade in all the world of massed blue flowers. Its royal beauty and enchanting fragrance have a particular message which speaks to the emotions with compelling directness. It is peculiarly fitting that the name of our annual should be The Blue Bonnet”, for nowhere does the state flower bloom in greater abundance or with more glorious beauty than about T. M. 1. College Avenue is bordered by a fringe of the deepest blue and the fields around are a veritable sea of azure. In the midst of all this wondrous glory rise the towers and battlements of The West Point of the South.” X s X San Antonio the city ■ of' ■ Blue Bonnets x 9 x 1 YV. W. BONDURANT. M. A.. Lift. D.

It has been no easy climb, although now that we are almost there we realize that the way was a pleasant one. We started the ascent as Freshmen, inexperienced and untried. At first the going was rough; there was the untraveled path of discipline, the monotonous stretch of routine, and the slough of our first examinations to pass successfully. A few dropped by the wayside unable to make the grade. Then came our Sophomore year. We hit our stride at last; nevertheless we came very near falling into the chasm of conceit and over-confidence. We felt like lords and masters of creation; that there wasn’t a thing under heaven or earth that we didn’t know about. Very superior we were to the Freshmen beginning the trail below us! The next year found us Juniors. We began to suspect that there might be a thing or two that didn’t fall within the limits of our knowledge. We were high enough now so that the view was inspiring and we accordingly developed a finer and deeper class and school spirit. As experienced climbers we were given our first taste of responsibility. Many of us were “non-coms”; all of us had various and sundry duties to perform. Always the trail climbed higher. Finally we came back to the “old school” as dignified and august Seniors. Responsibility was now complete, leadership brought an end to subservience; drudgery disappeared, pleasures and privileges heretofore unknown came to our lot. We began to realize that it was upon us, for the most part, that the ideals and the honor of the school rested. We tried to be an example to the underclassmen and to guide and train them that they might be fully capable of carrying on after we had left. As we draw near our goal, we begin to more fully comprehend what our days at T. M. I. have meant to us. We have formed sincere friendships with the professors and have made comrades of the fellows that have toiled up the long trail with us. Graduation and Commencement are only a step ahead. Yet there is a note of regret mingling with our elation; regret because it is the ending of four years of patient endeavor and the severing of happy ties. We see now that what we thought was the pinnacle is not the summit at all, but the beginning of our longer and steeper trail up the way of life. We realize that we have as yet only equipped and armed ourselves for the more serious and weighty problems that are to come. The class of 1930 is at the parting of the ways, yet memories and friendships will be ours forever. RALPH E. HAINES, Jr. X X MICHAEL WESTHEIMER ALEXANDER “Mike” “Alex” Entered T. M. 1. 1928.

RICHARD EUGENE E1SER—MOST POPULAR CADET X X X X This is one of the greatest honors that can be bestowed on any cadet at T. M. I.—an honor that is not easily obtainable. The fact that Cadet Eiser is held in such high esteem by his fellowman is a guarantee of his own character in itself. Never was there one so trustworthy in every mission, so loyal to his school, so obedient to his superiors, and so courteous at all times. Cadet Eiser is a prominent man in every activity of the school whether it be along social, athletic, scholastic, or military lines. He is President of the Senior Class, Vice-President of the Zeta Sigma Literary Society, Captain of Company “A”, and a member of the “T” Club. Let all praise be bestowed upon his name for in him is exemplified the highest type of manhood and the noblest ideals of T. M. I. X 32 X HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR X X X X The May sun shone hot on the parade ground and the grey walls of the school beyond. A Senior sought the shelter of a hackberry tree and settled himself comfortably under its shade. It was strangely quiet for everyone was on Saturday pass. But this was his last guard tour—next week Graduation Parade; then exams and Commencement. The Senior leaned back against the tree and let his mind roam idly back over the preceding months. It had been a splendid year, the best ever. Notwithstanding the joys and fun of the summer vacation, everyone had been glad to be back last September. It had been great to see all the fellows again; a lot of the old ones were gone but a lot of new ones were here. “Pappy” and Jimmy” were at their same old place in Study Hall checking the schedules; Prof. B” was everywhere at once, greeting old grads, anxious mothers, and bewildered “fish.” Captain Henion was in his office looking ’em over and issuing clothing slips. Willie” West and “Professor” Pierce were helping the Sergeant pass out the O. D. uniforms. Prof. Miller and Prof. Levy were working like mad in the book store. Everything was just about the same. Nevertheless, the building had been fixed up a great deal, and Mrs. Henion and Mrs. Shaw had opened a little exchange that from the beginning gave promise of success. The first day dawned—bugle calls—chapel—classes—the year at T. M. I. was begun. Prof. “B” gave us a hot Mexican supper the first Friday night at the “Original” to get everyone well acquainted. It was our first year in “blues.’ They looked handsome and snappy—a pleasant relief from the dull olive drab. We went on show before San Antonio in the annual Armistice Day parade and got a big hand for our efforts. We had a new coach this year and a dandy, too—Walter Miller, “J. D.’s” brother. Our football season was marked by hard luck, tough breaks, and a lack of experienced material. Near the end of the season the team began to find itself, however, and next year we'll show these other schools a thing or two. The “T” Club was organized again and proved “bigger and better” than ever. Then came the Christmas holidays—homegoings—festivities—lighted trees, holly wreaths, and good cheer. Little 1930 was ushered in and we came back to school with lofty resolutions and clean slates. Prof. “B” announced as our best Christmas gift the fact that Captain Henion was to remain another year as P. M. S. T. at T. M. I. Pandemonium broke loose in Study Hall—our enthusiasm knew no bounds. Then came the mid-term exams, the Nemesis of many of us, the dispeller of our lofty ambitions, the Waterloo of our fond hopes. Everyone started to study desperately at the last minute. For three days we suffered—then they were over, for better or for worse. The new term began. X 33 X 'm)ii)nnmm)HM}Mirn7rnnri Next came the announcement of the lucky seven cadets chosen as charter members of the T. M. I. Chapter of the National Honor Society. Its organization proved to be quite a feather in the school’s cap and should prove a very favorable incentive to the student body as a whole. Suddenly, out a clear sky, came the announcement that there would be no R. O. T. C. Competition with Main and Brackenridge this year. We felt the pangs of anger and regret. We trusted, however, that Captain Henion had something up his sleeve; soon he had things fixed up so that we could hold a Field Day of our own. And what a big day that was—how great Panther Field looked—how well the entire corps showed up! And as for the rifle team, how they “cleaned up” on Main and Brackenridge —sweet revenge! A real Brigadier General presented the big Express Cup to the team—it’s ours for good now. What a smile Shelby Kritser had on his face when the aforesaid General gave him the trophy for the best individual score in the match! Track season opened—a lot of last year’s team were gone but new men were developed to take their places. Those heroes of the cindered trail trained hard and showed mettle worthy of T. M. 1. Baseball season was gratifying. The team proved capable of giving any other bunch in town a run for their money. We won some games and lost others by a close margin. The Junior Team, the Cubs”, was organized for the first time and showed plenty of spirit. Prof. Levy worked hard on them and whipped them into great shape. Bluebonnet time arrived and with it the Fiesta de San Jacinto. We marched in the Battle of Flowers parade in blue and white, thus doing our bit toward making it a success. Ten of us were also chosen to take part in the beautiful Coronation of the Queen, held in the city auditorium. Seems as if we’re growing more and more in the esteem of the community. The Senior opened his eyes and stretched. Must have been day dreaming. He stood up and shook himself—it was about time to check up on the bounds list. His glance wandered to the flag fluttering in the breeze and to the walls and turrets of T. M. I. now casting late afternoon shadows over the parade. His school—how he loved it! With a pang of regret in his heart he realized that the bluebonnets were gone and that the year was over. RALPH E. HAINES, Jr. X 34 X THE BAT ROOST By ALBERT LEVY and NATHAN SAFIR Alexander: “Yes.

Because of its rather advanced work, its membership is restricted to Juniors and Seniors. The aim of the society is to teach its members the intricate art of debating and public speaking. It develops terseness, alertness, keenness, and a more sound and logical form of reasoning. It gives you that power so essential to success in any walk of life; namely, the ability to think on your feet. It shows you how to express yourself, it expands your vocabulary, and it gives you a better command of the English language. It improves your voice and gives you the grace and polish of a natural born orator. It tends to broaden your mind and keeps you well informed on important questions of the day. In all, it adds to your general culture and increases the esteem in which you are held by your fellow man. This year the society has been especially fortunate in having a group of natural speakers and willing workers. The debates have been hotly contested with the speakers fighting for their cause to the bitter end. Credit is therefore due not only to the officers of the society but to the members at large for their honest and constructive efforts to uphold the high ideals of Zeta Sigma. Special recognition goes also to Professor B. H. Meyer, the faculty sponsor, without whose advice and encouragement the success of the society would have been impossible. Zeta Sigma activities throughout the year have included weekly debates and special holiday programs presented in the hall. The season was brought to a close by the Junior-Senior debate in April.

X 42 X LITERATURE nn Literature is the expression of life in terms of truth and beauty. Yet it is more than the expression of life; it is the expression of dreams—dreams which are so real to the writer that he sets them down as truth. Each piece of literature is a life in itself. The characters move and express the same emotions as ourselves. A library is like a miniature world full of people; some of them interesting, some of them dull, some of them beautiful, some of them sordid. We can make books our friends and once we have gained their friendship we will never lose it. When we are tired we can take down a novel and fall asleep over it; when we are philosophical there is a leather bound volume to be chewed and part of it digested. In literature we can always find a friend who will blend in with our mood and never bore us. I have said literature is an expression of life. The proper goal of life is happiness. Although the seeds of happiness are personal and vary with each individual, they rest on the three foundations of love, power, and beauty. Yet, too often, now, beauty is forgotten or placed in the category with medieval castles or the alchemists. The Cubists feel this way and look at their insane creations! They call it “Art”, yet art is life. If you can find any life in a lopsided lozenge then you need smoked glasses or a padded cell! Most modern writers mistake tragedy and horror for life and realism, but they have a corner deep down in their hearts for beauty. JOHN I.

A dance season successfully begun with the promise of subsequent entertainments. Then followed the Football Dance.” A touch of autumn; tinted leaves of red and gold; the reward to the gridiron heroes for hours of toil and patience —the coveted “T”. Came the “Christmas Ball”, heralding the approach of the holidays. Beau- V tiful winter scenes; snow; red and green colors of the season; a dance embellished by the spirit of the Yuletide and Saint Nick. After Christmas came the dance honoring Captain and Mrs. Henion. A relief from examinations; an interesting scene; trophies of war; radiant beauty; happiness; a dance maintaining the lofty standard of the Cotillion Club. Following this was the “Costume Stomp.” A dance made enjoyable by the vivacity of youth; a panorama of costumes, soft lights, laughter, gaity; gallant gentlemen of the seventeenth century; mysterious ladies; trim sailors; ragged tramps; tweeded Scotchmen; a pleasant variation from the preceding dances. The “Farewell Ball.” A banquet royal; delicious dishes served as only the South can serve; a last tribute to the departing Seniors; a tinge of sorrow, tempered by reminiscences of happy comradeship ; aroma of roses; glamorous moon; spring; the last dance; farewell! Through the year the Cotillion Club has labored to give to the corps enjoyable and frequent dances. By their splendid spirit of self-sacrifice they have helped to make the year a success one. Their entertainments have been a most pleasant diversion from the dull routine of school life. The president of the club, John 1. Pierce, has been especially instrumental in insuring the success of all social affairs. All praise to those boys who have thus distinguished their own name and that of T. M. 1. We are proud of the Cotillion Club of 1929-1930. LEON C. LEVY X 47 5C . , ; L,ill L. ............,1 L :.i J1 ii'Lkialiiij. T. M. I. Honor Council 1929-1930 xxxxxx EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE P. L. Dublin H.

Levy C. W. Parish X -«s X The students whose names are inscribed on the preceding page hold one of the highest and most responsible positions that T. M. I. has to offer, that of membership in the Honor Council. Unlike most organizations of its kind, the sole qualification for membership is not personal integrity alone, but equally as much leadership fairminded-ness and human understanding. Without these qualifications a cadet would be unfit to bear the responsibility which rests upon his shoulders as a member of the Council. One of the duties of the organization is to investigate any infractions of the rules and regulations of the Institute. It settles disputes and acts as a medium between the faculty and the student body, thus assuring a more complete understanding. However, the Council’s greatest usefulness to the students is unofficial and for the most part unknown. Most boys go to boarding school when they are in the age of adolescence. The world laughs at this period, rarely attributing to its its true significance as the age of the crystalization of the individual. At this time boys are apt to be suspicious and overly sensitive and they are separated from grown people by a gulf which they believe very deep. When a boy is in trouble he dreads to go to a grown person; he needs another boy who will give him a few words of good advice and a slap on the back and who will send him out with his fighting blood up. This is just what the Honor Council does for the cadets of T. M. I. Boys can feel free to go to the members of the Council and be assured of help and furthermore know that their confidences will be held sacred. X 49 x JOHN I. PIERCE. OFFICERS PA UL L.

SCALLORN X 50 X THE “T” CLUB X X X X Simultaneously with the beginning of football training the “T” Club of 1929-1930 was organized. Due to graduation of the preceding year its ranks were somewhat thinned. However, there were eight returning members: Dublin, Benchoff, Falley, Fuentes, Hindes, Scallorn, Graham, J., and Levy, L. Officers for the year were elected: Paul Dublin was unanimously chosen president, Fuentes, H., vice-president, Levy, L., secretary and treasurer. The purpose of the Club, quoting from its constitution, is: “To encourage men to try out for athletics; to set an example of sportsmanship both on and off the athletic field which will be copied by the student body; to foster and build up a school spirit worthy of the age and reputation of this institution.” The Club takes part in many school activities, in addition to which it sponsors many of its own. The outstanding event of the year was the barbecue-picnic in honor of the first incoming members—letter men of the 1929 football team. On Friday evening, December 12th, the Club motored out to the country home of C. W. Parish. A short extemporaneous program, with the new men in the role of entertainers, was enjoyed by all, after which the “Fish” were duly initiated. The barbecue was disposed of and the Club returned to T. M. I. From the standpoint of helping to form a spirit of close fellowship among athletes and of encouraging athletics in T. M. 1„ the “T” Club of 1929-30 has been a decided success, much of which is due to the energetic and loyal efforts of its president, Paul L. Dublin, and to its popular sponsor, Coach Walter Miller.

VICK The National Honor Society is a nation-wide organization of students of Secondary Schools. To obtain a charter a school must be recognized by the National Educational Association and must possess certain other qualifications. It is extremely rare for a privately owned school to be offered a chapter in this society. Such a distinction came to this school this year when the T. M. I. Chapter of the National Honor Society was formed. Membership in this National Honor Society is considered a very high honor, even more so than the Phi Kappa Betta is in college. Only Juniors and Seniors are eligible and of these only five per cent of the Junior Class and fifteen per cent of the Senior Class can become members. Each candidate must stand in the first third of his class scholastically and in addition must possess in a marked degree qualities of leadership, service, and character. Members initiated this year are charter members of the T. M. I. Chapter. The names of the cadets elected to the society were announced by Professor Bondurant at a dress parade held in the middle of February. At this time Caption Henion presented the blue ribbons to the members and the Cadet Corps passed in review before them. JOHN 1. PIERCE. X 53 X Tbo follcwlt.

X 54 X 777777777777777 THE PANTHER nn This is the third year that the T. M. I. Panther has been in existence. With remarkable speed it has sprung from nothing into very much of something. It will now compare favorably with any school paper in Texas. This year we have been very fortunate in having Jack Vick as the Editor-in-Chief. Vick is the kind of a man who will do his own work and then do part of the other fellow’s. He has turned all of his energy into the Panther and has achieved very gratifying results. No longer does the paper come out with misspelled words and faulty punctuation. When Jack Vick has O. K.ed a proof, Edgar Allen himself couldn't find anything the matter with it. To be a successful editor a man must be a born diplomat, a fiend for speed and an inveterate liar. Not to insinuate that Jack Vick is a liar—far from it— but it is just a characteristic of the species. Yet after all, newspaper work is the finest kind of training for a man. It teaches him to keep his wits about him and put to use every bit of his time and energy. The training a boy gets as editor of a school paper is cheap at any price. He learns to conserve his time and utilize every bit of the brains that God gave him. Usually it gives him his first taste of influence. He knows that he can write several clean editorials and change the views of the whole campus. The work, therefore, gives him confidence in himself and partially recompenses him for his efforts, for an editor’s duties are unceasing. He has to be ready for anything, often at the expense of a good many hours of sleep. The editorship of the paper is the hardest and at the same time the most pleasant position a school can offer to a boy. JOHN I. PIERCE. X 55 X r££ fciKW r vjn y K K'wVf IIII It II k HI l il ll IIIII MATHEMATICS X X X X As far back at 3000 B. C. mathematics was a well-established science. In 2000 B. C. the Egyptians computed problems of fractions and algebra on small tablets of clay. Thales, one of the Seven Wise Men of Greek civilization, who lived about 500 B. C., firmly established himself as one of the fathers of mathematics. His pupil, Pythagoras, is now recognized as an authority on the first principles of geometry. What were the good points of all this work? Why did these ancients establish schools for the teaching of this one subject? Perhaps to some of them it was merely a new science, something in which to discover new fields of thought and reasoning. But when, in Egypt, we look at the stately pyramids, the majestic temples, and the long irrigation canals, we cannot but think that those men saw the real uses and good of this science. Today mathematics is used in the same way. No skyscraper can rear its lordly head into the heavens until mathematics has first prepared the way. No large bridge can be built until mathematics has first laid the foundation for that construction. Thus we see that this science has a practical use today even as it did centuries ago. In T. M. I. we are taught the rudiments of mathematics; to reason by taking a given principle and applying it to a problem. By following a set form of reasoning, by taking a fact and using it to derive another fact, our minds become alert and active. Thus we strive for that ideal of a reasoning mind, which points towards ultimate success in life. LEON C. LEVY. X 56 X T.M.I. Military Organization in Competent Hands; Capt. Henion's Service Great Asset to R. O. T. C. XXX T. M. I. is peculiarly fortunate in its military detail from the War I epartment. Captain Karl E. Henion. United States Army, is an officer of marked ability— and more. He is pre-eminently a leader of boys, enthusiastic, cooperative and sincere. His work on the drill field, on the athletic field and as Commandant of the School has already shown spch enthusiastic results that he has made himself invaluable to the school administration. Capt Henion was born on June 2. 1S55. in Buffalo. X. Y. At the age of five years he entered the public schools of Buffalo, graduating therefrom in 15 $. 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 1)12 following which he entered Case School of Applied Science, taking up the study of mining engineering. In the spring of 1517. when the great social upheaval, the World War. caught our country in its maelstrom he. like thousands of ocher 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 regular army, which he successfully passed. Shortly after graduation from lfee training camp he relinquished his Reserve Commission and was appointed a 2nd Li., 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 I 15 he was assigned to the 22rd 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 1922-33 Capt. Hewion attended and graduated from an eight months eowrse at the Infantry school, folio wing which he returned to duty with troops at Ft. Sam Houston. In the spring of 152 4 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 21st Infantry and Post of Manila and Plans and Training Officer for the regiment. His two year tour being up in May. 152 4. he returned to the United States and the station he likes test. San Antooio. Capcain Henion. :n 152 ). married a San Antonio girl and has two children. He is a member of tie Sigma Xu fraternity, and of the Shrine. 3Iasonic order. T 5 X SERGEANT CRAGIN’S ASSIGNMENT TO R. O. T. C. COMPLETES STRONG MILITARY STAFF His Long Service in the United States Army Sgt. J. E. Cragin was born at I awrence, Mass., 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. Re-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. Ft. Sam Houston, Texas, Jan. 7, 1926. X ™ X MILITARY DEPARTMENT X X X X 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 Schools. 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 60 X WITH THE CORPS ALONG THE LINE OF MARCH X X X X Military achievements at T. M. I. this year have kept step with the advance along scholastic lines. Perhaps the most material aid to this progress was the adoption of a new uniform, a uniform that is distinctive, that is in every way worthy of the name and ideals of T. M. I. The trim blue coats, the trousers of lighter blue or stiffly starched white, the dark caps with the shiny visors—all these have given the cadets a new pride in themselves. It is this pride which has lifted routine from drudgery and has helped to increase the efficiency of the Corps. That San Antonio is not unmindful of T. M. 1. was shown by the reception which was accorded us when we made our public appearances. On Armistice Day we were part of those who paid tribute to the warrior dead by marching in the annual parade. On Patriots’ Day, T. M. I. was chosen to furnish the speaker and the squad who fired the volley over the grave of San Antonio’s hero, Ben Milam. Our share in Fiesta week was to take part in the Battle of Flowers parade and to participate in the pageant preceding the crowning of the Queen in the Municipal Auditorium. Every year platoon and squad competitions are held in the fall to determine the best drilled units in the Corps. These competitions serve as morale stimulators and as incentives to more earnest endeavor. This year the platoon competition was won by the 1st Platoon of Company “A”, commanded by Cadet Lieut. H. J. Crase. The squad competition was won by the 2nd Squad of the 1st Platoon of A” Company, under the command of Cadet Corporal J. E. Miller, later promoted to the rank of Sergeant. In February, Colonel W. R. Castle, R. O. T. C. Officer for the 8th Corps Area, made his annual inspection of T. M. I. That he was favorably impressed with the school as a whole proved evident. This year for the first time ribbons were awarded to the boarders with the neatest rooms on each floor of the building. To give the day students something to strive for, ribbons were likewise given to those with the least number of demerits throughout the year. Both of these experiments had the desired effects: more pride was taken in the barracks than ever before and the “Trail” lists were perceptibly decreased. The Rifle Team upheld its record of previous years and emerged victorious in the annual R. O. T. C. match with Main Avenue and Brackenridge High Schools, thus giving T. M. 1. permanent possession of the Express Trophy. Shelby Kritser received the cup for the best individual score, making 183 points out of a possible 200. X til X T. M. I.’s first annual Field Day was held on Panther Field on April 4th and was a success from the opening parade to the closing awards. The events of the program and the respective winners were as follows: Company Competition won by Company A”, commanded by Cadet Captain R. E. F.iser; Individual Soldier Contest won by Cadet Lieut. S. A. Barclay of Company “B” with Cadet Corporal C. H. Kearny of Co. “C” second, and Cadet Corporal R. Graham, also of Company “B , third; Tug-o-War won by the team frcm the 1st Platoon of Company ‘'A , composed of Cadets Dublin. Holmgreen, Brandon, Freeborn. Goulette, Miller, Wilking, and Alonzo; the Shelter Tent Contest won by Cadets Vega and Safir, J„ of the second platoon of Company “B”; the Equipment Race won by Cadet Mackissack of Company B”, with Cadet Captain West of the same Company second, and Cadet Vincent of Company “A”, third; the Relay Race won by the 2nd Platoon of Company “A”, composed of Cadets Eiser, Hundley, Morris, and Kerr; the 37 mm. Gun Contest won by Cadets Heaney, Wimer, Cornell, Singer, Bingham, and Levy, A., representing Company “C”; the Machine Gun Contest won by Company B”, represented by Cadets Kritser, Speedie, and Brooke, C.; the Sack Relay Race won by the team from the 2nd Platoon of Company “A”, composed of Cadets Shaw, Hayes, Holmes, W. K.. and Parish, G.; the Bugle Contest, open to all cadets, won by Cadet J. Haines; Bugle Contest for members of the Bugle Corps only, won by Cadet J. Robinson. The presentation of the various cups, medals, ribbons and prizes was made by Brigadier General Halstead Dorey, Commanding Officer of the Second Division and of Fort Sam Houston. The year closed with the Graduation Parade and the awarding of the T. M. 1. Medal, the highest military honor that can be conferred on any Cadet. Yet new uniforms and ribbons alone could never have steered T. M. I. through this most successful year in military achievement had it not been for the wise hands at the helm. The choice of Cadet W. R. Hindes of Hindes, Texas, as Major of the Battalion was a most happy selection and the cadet “K. O.” has handled his duties most acceptably to all. However, the largest share of credit for the year’s success goes to Capt. Karl E. Henion, Inf. D. O. L.. Commandant of the School and P. M. S. T., and to his assistant, Sergeant J. E. Cragin. Both of these men give unfailingly of their time, thought and energy in the service of the school and have the faculty of bringing out the best in the cadets who serve under them. From them we have learned a finer sense of duty, a higher understanding of honor and a deeper love of country. RALPH E. HAINES. Jr. X 62 X X 63 X STAFF HINDES, W.

X 67 X NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS X 68 X THE RIFLE TEAM X X X X This year the rifle team made a most commendable record, winning seven out of ten matches fired against leading military schools of the country. !n addition, the team fired in the Eighth Corps Area and the National Hearst Trophy matches, making a total of twelve in which it has participated. The team was under the supervision of Captain Henion, while Sergeant Cragin took charge of the actual training on the range. To the latter, for his untiring efforts and unselfish interest, the team owes its successful season. The team’s outstanding achievement and the climax to its fine season was its victory over the teams from Brackenridge and Main Avenue High Schools for the third consecutive year. By virtue of this victory the team gained permanent possession of the Express Challenge Cup and became again R. O. T. C. rifle champions of San Antonio. Because of the fact that he fired the highest individual score in the match regardless of team, Cadet Shelby Kritser was awarded a silver loving cup. In addition each member of the winning team received a handsome silver medal. The scores of the cadets representing T. M. I. in the match follow: Shelby Kritser, 183; Cresson Kearny, 172; Herbert Mears, 168; William West, 168; and A. J. Vick, 164. The scores were made out of a possible 200 and were fired in accordance with National Rifle Association rules. The three team totals are given below: Texas Military Institute.......................854 Brackenridge High School.......................795 Main Avenue High School........................793 During the year the team also scored victories over Oklahoma Military Institute, North Texas Agricultural College, Bordentown Military Academy, Beloit High School, University of Akron, Ohio. The only matches lost were those fired against Hawaii University, Allen Academy, and St. Thomas Military Academy. The team was composed of the following cadets: Owen Crenshaw, Elbert Garrett, Cresson Kearny, Shelby Kritser, George Matteson, Charles McCollister, Edward Mears, Herbert Mears, Leonard Sayers, A. J. Vick, and William West. With the loss of only one cadet through graduation the prospects for an even more successful season next year are exceedingly bright. WILLIAM WEST. X 69 X ✓ ✓ wffmimmitmifmfifmmfmfmtmiMmm iKHR . x 70 X Above is a picture of the firing squad, buglers, and speaker chosen from T. M. to take part in the Patriot’s Day Celebration at the grave of San Antonio’s own hero, Ben Milam. Various organizations were represented at the occasion but T. M. I. held the spotlight throughout. Our part in the program was as follows: Cadet Lieut. R. E. Haines delivered a ten minute speech on the subject, Ben Milam and the Texas Heroes, concluding with the passage: “But we should not mourn Ben Milam for ’tis only his body, battle-scarred and weary, that lies beneath the pansies. His soul, the soul of a patriot and a pioneer is forever marching on. Let us heed his challenging cry and ‘follow old Ben Milam’ into a higher patriotism and a deeper devotion.” Immediately following this speech the bugle corps sounded Taps over the now hushed audience. As the final notes died away the rifle squad under the command of Lieut. S. A. Barclay took aim and fired three successive volleys over the grave. Cadets that represented T. M. I. at this occasion were: R. E. Haines, S. A. Barclay, W. Roddie, R. F. Knickmeyer, F. Scallorn, W. K. Holmes, R. K. Schlundt, J. Robnson, J. Boatright, R. Moore, W. J. Hunt, A. N. Mendive, J. P. Jones. X ™ X X 72 X X 73 X X 74 X THE VALUE OF ATHLETICS nn Beyond a doubt athletics are a most valuable asset to any school. This has been proved conclusively during the past year at T. M. I. by the material development in those who have gone out for the various sports and by the wonderful school spirit which has resulted. In the first place athletics develop you physically. Even the bitterest opponents of sports are forced to admit that. They develop the wonderful body that God has given you to its fullest extent; they broaden your shoulders and harden your biceps; they quicken your step and send rich, new blood coursing through your veins. They develop your powers of resistance and aid in overcoming any natural handicaps that you may have. In the second place athletics develop you mentally. That old axiom of a sound mind in a sound body still holds true today. Your bodily powers having been strengthened, your mental facilities are made keener and more accurate. The various sports in themselves too, sharpen your wits and increase your powers of concentration and judgment. Athletics also foster a spirit of comradeship. The athletes are very closely associated personally. They eat together at the training table; they fight side by side on the field. Invariably a sense of friendliness and comradeship grows up between them. Sportsmanship is also developed. A true athlete knows how to taste bitter defeat as well as glorious victory. And he learns to take the knocks of the game in the right spirit without “griping.” Finally, athletics develop loyalty to the school and its ideals. Men fighting on the football gridiron, the cinder track, the basketball court, or the baseball diamond, naturally feel a deeper and finer spirit of loyalty for their Alma Mater. Their feeling is infectious and soon is felt by the student body at large. Thus we see that athletics provide the spice of our everyday school lives. RALPH E. HAINES, Jr. X 75 X X 76 X THE T. M. I. PANTHER CUBS At the time the annual goes to press the 1930 edition of T. M. I.’s Junior Baseball team seems headed for a fairly successful season. The Cubs have won three out of five hotly contested games and have scheduled six or eight more. With the exception of one game, the Cubs have shown a pronounced tendency to clout the ball. Leading the heavy artillery are Schlundt, Mathis, Winkler, Dunwoody, and Hunt. The infield, at times erratic but a rapidly improving unit, is composed of Knightlinger, Robinson, J., Haines, J., and Bingham. They form a hustling group and are playing heads-up baseball. The outfielders, Dunwoody, Neese, and Mathis, are excellent ball-hawks and hit at a lively clip. Schlundt and Mathis are the pitchers and Winkler and Hunt, catchers. They are nice working batteries and have done much toward winning their own games. Mead, D., McKenzie, W„ Moore, J., and Safir, N„ have proven capable reserves and have stepped into the breach when necessary. This is the first organized Junior Team at T. M. 1. Professor Bondurant has generously furnished equipment and the team is fighting hard for the old school. Coach Levy has proven to be a capable and inspiring leader. Scores to date are as follows: CPUS 24—SAN ANTONIO ACADEMY 1 CUBS 8—ALAMO HEIGHTS 10 CUBS 17—ALAMO HEIGHTS 16 CUBS 3—ST. MARY'S KANGS 11 CUBS 8—MARK TWAIN 7 X 77 X as m m i!

Vega, Villarreal, Vincent, Weymouth, West, H., Williamson. Hector, T. M. I. is proud of you. Puentes is the type of athlete that any school might well be proud of. T. M. I. is proud of him because of his outstanding qualities as a cadet of character, a young man with a pleasing personality, and a topnotch student: these count for more at the Institute than records broken on the track, or games won on the gridiron and the diamond. Puentes is probably the best academy half-miler in the United States and one of the best milers. He showed that he was a real half-miler when he copped the Rice Relays’ event—the half mile—in 1:59:2. On that same afternoon, twenty-five minutes after the half-mile event, he made the mile in 4.2 7. That’s going some. Fuentes finishes his four year course at T. M. I. this year. Young Fuentes is figuring on Rice Institute or A. M. College after leaving T. M. I. Whoever gets him is going to get a future conference champ. Here’s to your future success, Hector. T. M. I. wishes you all the luck in the world. 5C 78 X TRACK TEAM X X X X Though seriously crippled by the loss of several stars of last year, the track team was an improved edition over that of ’29, in that it was a better rounded and balanced one. The outstanding member of the team was the captain and star miler, Hector Puentes. He easily broke the city record in the mile run, besides running the half-mile in exceptionally fast time. His place will be hard to fill next year. Graham, R. and Mead, R., took care of the javelin, shot, and discus events, while West, H. and Dublin ran the dashes well throughout the year. Levy, L. was the half-miler. Eiser did his part in the low and high hurdles. A find for the team was Brandon, whose pole-vaulting developed until he was one of the best in the city. There was always a large group out for track, thus making it possible for the Coach to prepare a strong nucleus for the building of next year’s team. Coach J. D. Miller has been the main factor in the founding and development of our track teams at T. M. I. His splendid spirit of co-operation, keen interest, and good example has made our team, and to him goes the credit for what the team has done. In summarizing the accomplishments of the track team, we find that it has been a complete success from every standpoint, in that it has brought pleasure to the boys and additional glory and honor to T. M. I. LEON C. LEVY. X 79 X MEETS OF THE TRACK TEAM DURING THE YEAR X X X X The following is a detailed list of the places that T. M. I.

P. Dt' I ACADtW BCKOtm VMAt !' Cf CAR 1 wwi M wm mm William Thomas Bondurant, Headmaster and Commandant, 5an Antonio Academy Because of his leadership on the drill field, his earnestness and ability in the classroom and his encouragement and warm sympathy in the routine life of the school, the boys of San Antonio Acrdemy find in their Commandant and Headmaster an engjgmg personality. Lieutenant W. T. Bondurant was born in the old family home at Rice, Prince Edward County, Virginia, near the end of the last century. Graduating from Rico High School in 1913, he entered Hampden-Sidney College the fall of the same year. When the United States entered the World War, he answered the call of his country, enlisting in December. 1917. Soon after enlisting he was made First Sergeant of First Co., 4th Reg. A. S., Camp Green, X. C., and was sent to France in July of 19IS. In due time he was recommended for commission and was called to Tours for examination. There he received his commission in September, 1 91 8. After the Armistice was signed, he availed himself of the opportunity of a period of study in Paris and was sent to the Sorborne University, where he remained until July 1, 1919. He was discharged from service as a member of the Officers’ Reserve, July 26, 1919. He received his degree along with his class at Hampden-Sidney in 1918. For some time he had entertained the idea of teaching, and became professor of French and English in the Chamberlayne School, Richmond, Virginia, serving through the term of 1 919-1920. Lieut. Bondurant came to San Antonio Academy as commandant and instructor in English in 1920 and acted in that capacity until the consolidation of the Academy with West Texas in 1 926, at which time he assumed his present position of Headmaster and Commandant of the Academy. X 84 X CALENDAR OF NOTABLE EVENTS, 1929-1930 By EDGAR A. BASSE nn The opening day of school is not usually considered bright in the lexicon of a school boy, yet Academy boys, old and new, were glad when September 10th dawned. Again the bugles blew, summoning us to the Battle of Books. A calendar of notable events of the school year would not be worth keeping if it did not enumerate at least the following happy days of 1929-1930: September 18—First football game of the season; lost to St. Ann’s but well played. September 26—Second football game with San Pedro Eagles—won. September 27—Reorganization of the Alamo and David Crockett Literary Societies.

ZUEHL X 94 X WHY SAN PEDRO PARK MEANS MUCH TO ACADEMY BOYS X X X X Just across the street from San Antonio Academy is San Pedro Park. This famed playground is a sixty-four acre tract, embracing much scenic beauty and providing facilities for many forms of recreation. On the north is a rolling plateau that has been levelled by grading down the old stone pits. Six bitulithic tennis courts, a bicycle track and a running course have been built here. Just this year the city completed in the area the Little Theater, the front of which with its columns rescued from 'the old City Market House adds a Grecian note to the landscape. Coming down from the tennis courts, one sees a wooded region in the center of which the waters of San Pedro pool sparkle like a string of pearls. This pool has been improved with concrete walls and bottom until it ranks as being the largest and best kept outdoor pool in Texas. It is fed by the famous San Pedro springs at the northern end around which Indians used to gather long before the Franciscan fathers brought civilization to San Antonio. The south side of the park is given over to playground activities. On the Academy side are two small open stretches between surrounding friendly trees. Here boys of the Academy delight to play in the evenings after classes. A little farther over, the city has installed swings, slides and travelling rings, equipment of an outdoor gymnasium that is much enjoyed by Academy boys. In the southwest corner of the park is a well-kept athletic field, comprising a diamond and gridiron upon which Academy plays its contest games. A branch library has recently been completed just to the north of this field. Xo list of the attractive features of the park would be complete without a word about the trees there. Giant live oaks and pecans with many other beautiful varieties impart a majesty to the park that only trees can give. JOHN ELMER HEWSON and JAMES SCOTT.

JONES Best Soldier, 1929-30 THE MILITARY DEPARTMENT nxx 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 the 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.

THE BATTALION 1929 - 1930 X 107 X nnmwrm. n J J W. m THE YEAR IN ATHLETICS By FRANK GILLESPIE and EUGENE CARRINGTON X X X X The Academy has had a good year in athletic and outdoor activities. While the teams may not have always been on the winning end of the score, they played hard and clean games, and a spirit of courage and loyalty animated them at all times. Football practice began early with a new coach, Stuart Pearce, in charge. Letter men reporting were Low and Jones of Brownwood and Gillespie, F. and Townsend of San Antonio. With these as a nucleus there was soon built an aggressive machine that included Rosson of Milford, Scott of Mexico, Huss-mann, R. of El Paso, Smith, S. of Alpine, Sayford of Memphis, Tenn., and Basse, Frost, Carnahan, Williams and Estrada Brothers, of San Antonio. The first game of the season came with St. Mary’s Fangs. We were out-scored but not discouraged, for soon we won a hard-fought game with St. Ann’s to the tune of 19-0. Then followed other games, the high point of the season being the annual trip to Floresville, which we made before Thanksgiving. Basketball practice started soon after Thanksgiving. The team was in good condition before Christmas, but we were unable to schedule pre-holiday games on account of a lack of competitors. Several games were played after the Christmas holidays. Baseball, always a popular sport at the Academy, proved especially alluring to the boys this spring. The natural attractive qualities of the great American sport were probably increased by the fine chances of being outdoors that our splendid spring weather offered and the fact that Academy boys had the opportunity of seeing some of the major league teams play in San Antonio. Altogether athletics has been stressed considerably at the Academy this year, and considerable promising material for next year has been uncovered. Particular mention should be made of the good work of the little teams. Such players as Jackson, McElreath, D., Hunter, Estrada, J., and Downie, E., to name only a few, are sure to be heard from among next year’s letter men. Skating, swimming and indoor baseball were sports engaged in by the entire student body throughout the year. Since the school is located just across the park from the ice skating rink, it was easy for the home boys to gain access to the rink on Saturdays. Swimming in the large pool in San Pedro Park, the finest outdoor pool in Texas, was a daily sport in good weather. There was some form of outdoor diversion and athletic activity for every boy at all times.
