The blooming of the blue bonnets 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 blue bonnet is a great home lover; it is said that it never crosses the border into any other state. Even so, it has a wonderful range considering the size of Texas. The blue bonnet is unrivaled 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.I. College Boulevard. This beautiful flower borders with a fringe of the deepest blue this road to T.M.I. and colors the fields around into 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.” —From the Annual of 1932. o u R C L A S s E s SENIORS CHARLES E.

To some it has meant many nights of toil and cramming, while to others it has meant a steady earnest effort throughout the years with graduation as a result. Soon the members of this class will separate, possibly never to be together again; but they will carry with them the solid learning and high ideals which were taught at T. M. I. The staff members of the Blue Bonnett trust that every member of the Class of ’40 will live up to them, and that his old school and his classmates may ever hold him in high esteem. LITERATURE The year book would be incomplete without a word about literature. What is Literature? Literature is the expression of life in terms of truth and beauty. Yet it is more 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.

To be a member of the National Honor Society is the highest award for individual achievement that any cadet can receive. This organization is made up of members who have been chosen as highest in scholarship, leadership, service and character. The members are not elected, but are chosen after long consideration by the members of the faculty. The group is chosen from the members of the junior and senior classes; five percent of the juniors are appointed to this honor, and fifteen percent of the seniors. TMI is one of the very few privately owned schools to enjoy the distinction of having a charter in this society.

The members of this society are elected from those cadets who stand high in the student body in respect to character, leadership, and scholarship; and who are generally considered worthy of this highest of distinctions. The purpose of the society is to act as a medium between the faculty and cadet corps. It promotes goodwill, and brings about a better understanding of the disciplinary measures that the school sees fit to employ. This body tries such infractions of the rules as do not seem severe enough to merit corporal punishment. A good step forward on the road toward better citizenship is taken by the members of this society.

During the summer of last year, Dr. Bondurant gave our school buildings some repairings. On a bright morning in September of last year, boys began to come into the dormitory in numbers. The new boys did not see the change, but the old cadets saw it as soon as they arrived. The entire school was on dress parade. The halls were brilliant in new paint, and everything outside and in had a new shine.” The answer was simply this: the outer parts of the school had been painted after having been thoroughly repaired. Inside, new showers had been installed, the old bath rooms had been tiled, and there were many other improvements. New activities have also come to S.A.A. this school year. Some of these include: our dancing school, archery practice under a skilled instructor, our new boy scout troop, the Knot Hole Gang, and a new band, dressed up with bandoliers, cords and ribbons and equipped with a big bass drum. —Mike Gonzalez. The picturesque Alamo in a new setting THE ALAMO AND ITS HEROES By BOBBY STEINER The Alamo was founded in 1718 by Spanish Franciscans. It was built on the same general plan as the numerous other missions, being a combination of church and fort. It had strong walls of adobe and stone and was powerfully constructed, affording excellent protection from marauding bands of hostile Indians. This mission played an important part in the civilizing and conversion to Christianity of the various Indian tribes in the region adjacent to San Antonio, the city in which it was located. However it is doubtful whether it would have any real claim to fame but for an event which occurred here over a century later. Americans, lured by the rich soil and salubrious climate of Texas, had settled there to the number of twenty thousand. The Mexicans at first welcomed the newcomers and treated them with kindness. However the Mexican government, jealous of the prosperity of the Texans, became increasingly tyrannical in its treatment of them. This, together with the differences in language, civilization, and religion, and the THE ALAMO AND ITS HEROES natural dislike which Texans and Mexicans had for each other, resulted in the Texas Revolution. The first battle of San Antonio was fought in December, 1835. The Texan troops were outside of San Antonio, besieging the city. They were ill prepared for a winter campaign and were anxious to capture the city. The men were complaining of the inactivity and something had to be done. Then two splendid companies from New Orleans arrived. Colonel Milam, the commander of the besiegers, then raised the memorable cry, Who will go with Old Ben Milam into San Antonio?” Three hundred Volunteered. The next morning the attack was begun. Colonel Niel attacked the Alamo and drew the Mexicans to its defense. Then Milam attacked the other side of the city at Houston and Soledad Streets. It was the most remarkable battle ever fought. The Texans would break into a house with crow bars, capture it, and make a dash for another, capturing it in a like manner. They advanced thus until most of the city was in their control. General Cos, the Mexican commander, withdrew into the Alamo and later surrendered. Thus the fortress of the Alamo and the city of San Antonio fell into Texan hands. Unfortunately the Texans believed that the war was over and made no move to strengthen their position. The garrison at the Alamo was reduced to a mere handful. But the war was not over yet. Santa Anna, the Mexican dictator, heard the story of Cos's defeat and looked upon it as a disgrace to Mexican arms and to his own military ability, of which he was especially proud. He announced that he would lead an army in person to reconquer Texas. In February, 1836 Santa Anna reached San Antonio and laid siege to the city. General Houston, the commander-in-chief of the Texan army, had ordered that the Alamo should be blown up and that the Alamo garrison should fall back upon the fortress of Goliad. However Travis, the commander of the garrison, did not comply with his chief s command, but withdrew into the Alamo and hoped for reinforcements. Santa Anna ran up the no-quarter flag and demanded the surrender of the city. His answer was a shot, aimed at the banner. At the time when the siege began, the garrison consisted of only 145 men. They had a month’s provisions and a limited supply of ammunition. Travis and Bowie were commanders-in-chief. Colonel Washington and Captain Bonham were next in rank. Among the most famous of the defenders was Private David Crockett, a frontiersman from Tennessee who had once served in Congress. On the second day the Mexicans began a cannonade which, as the Alamo was strongly built and the Mexican artillery was very inefficient, had little effect. On the same day Travis sent an appeal for help to General Houston. Six days later a small band of reinforcements arrived. The Mexicans continued their bombardment, but without results. Santa Anna was becoming anxious. He feared that reinforcements would arrive and prevent his capturing the Alamo. He decided to storm the fortress. Four well-armed divisions of picked men made the assault. The first two attacks w'ere repulsed with great slaughter. The third, however, gained the walls of the mission and the Mexicans, encouraged by this, gradually overwhelmed and killed the remaining Texans. The Texans fought bravely to the last man and slew great numbers of the Mexicans. When their ammunition wfas exhausted, they fought on with knives and clubs until the Mexicans, aided by their superior numbers, finally overpowered them. Their gallant stand against overwhelming force will never be forgotten. Santa Anna’s triumph was short-lived. His army was swept off the field at San Jacinto and utterly destroyed. Texas independence was gained. A decade later the republic of Texas became a part of the greater republic from which it sprang. THE ALAMO AND ITS HEROES In the years that followed the Alamo was sadly neglected. A hideous commercial structure was erected on the site of the old convent yard, while the Alamo itself was allowed to fall into decay. The Alamo is now state property. The commercial structure has been torn down and the Alamo has been restored to a great extent. It is now a fitting memorial to the heroes of The Thermopylae of Texas.” The Shrine of Texas Liberty today is a short, rectangular structure, facing Alamo Plaza. The front of the building is decorated with stone columns and arabesques. The interior has been made into a museum, containing much information about the Alamo and many relics. A great statue of the heroes of the Alamo stands before the mission. The Old and the New—The battle-scarred Alamo facade etched against a modern office building.

HONOR ROLL All through the years since 1886, the Honor Roll has been a feature of school life at San Antonio Academy. The Honor Roll is a measuring rod of scholastic achievement, and as such is looked forward to with eagerness at the end of each school month. The boys in chapel at S. A. A. always become very quiet and expectant and hopeful when Prof. Bondurant begins to read the list. To win a place on the Honor Roll, a student must average 90 per cent, or above in his studies. Boys, whose grades range between 80 and 90 per cent., fall short of the Honor Roll, but they are given Honorable Mention rating. September FROST GILLIAM, J. HARPER KNICKHRBOCKER LEBMAN, G.

With half the world being torn to pieces by wars and rumors of wars, there is due cause for parents to think seriously about the subject of military training. No mother wishes to think of rearing her boy to be a soldier, but there are few mothers of today who do not wish to have their boys develop those qualities of body and character demanded of the good soldier. While it has never been the thought of our school that we are training boys to become soldiers, a course of training in military drill is maintained at the Academy for several reasons. It has been found that such a course is valuable to the student because through it he learns something of discipline, a word that some parents tell us seems to have been banished from the dictionary of American youth. Aside from its disciplinary effect, a course in military tactics is valuable to boys. Military training in youth does more than make soldiers — it makes men. It makes a boy upright in mind and body, trains him to be obedient, alert and loyal to the flag of his country. In a time when various isms ' are running rampant over the world, loyalty of you to country is a matter of prime concern to every thoughtful parent and educator.

In October of last year, several of the Academy boys took up archery. They started their weekly practice at fifteen paces. Their scores were recorded, and each boy was advanced five paces as soon as he scored 200 points with 30 shots on a tournament target. Our records show two outstanding things. The boys who attended practice regularly showed a steady improvement in their scores, and the ones who practiced regularly and tried to follow instructions carefully became the top-notchers of the class. The four best archers were Connolly, Vaello, Ruby and Tillotson. Only Vaello won a gold arrow. To win a gold arrow the contestant must shoot six bull's eyes in a row.

Triplett, Stefano. M. Wilkinson, Deutsch, Reagan. On September 15 of this year, Dr. W. W. Bondurant and the faculty decided, that although it would be hard to get it started, it would be a good idea to have a Boy Scout troop in our school. After talking to the Boy Scout Commissioner the idea was conceived. On the night of November 28, Lieut. Bondurant dismissed study hall early, and introduced to us two fine gentlemen, Mr. Anthony Van Tuyl, Scout Commissioner and Mr. William B. Greet, Scout Executive; then the idea went into effect. After filling out some blanks, and signing them, we handed them in, with our fees, to the Commissioners. Later Mr. Newell J. Cummings, the auditor of the Robert E. Lee Hotel, became our Scout-master. After organizing the troop, we divided it into three patrols; and we got the number 83. George Triplett became the Senior Patrol Leader. The other patrol leaders were: Bobby Yates of the Whippoorwills, Charles Stefano of the Hounds, and Patrick Reagan of the Snakes. I became Scribe. Eighteen boys joined at first, then others came in until we now have twenty-two. Up to March 15, we had had two hikes, on which we cooked our own meals, built fires, made up our beds, cleaned camp, went in for a dip, explored and did many other useful and interesting things. It was lots of fun being out there where it looked as if you were deep in the jungle. We had a swell time, and now I know what it is, and means to be a Boy Scout. —Mike Gonzalez. S. A. A.
