In September 1954, The American Statesman started a column called "Tri-High Scoop". A student from each high school wrote about the happenings at their school and then it was published in the Sunday paper. Each school had a "catchy" name, Austin was Maroon Musings, McCallum was 'Callum Clues and Travis was Travis Drawl. Enjoy reading about the days when you were at Travis.

Tri-High-School-4
Travis Drawl
By Carol Cotman
February 23, 1958

Five o'clock Thursday morning saw six sleepy Rebels heading for Falfurrias to a tennis tournament. Mrs. Betty Otts, coach, Bill Milligan, Jimmy Jackson, Pat and Phil Hall, and Geneva Lanier packed up their tennis rackets and balls in hopes of representing Travis in a winning way.

Also journey bound were six other Rebels to the island city of Galveston. Tommie Craig and Kenneth Southwell, members of the All-State Choir; Carol Cotman, member of the All-State Orchestra; Sue Graham and Frank Ray, members of the Youth Symphony Orchestra; and Tommy Proffitt, member of the All-State Band left Wednesday to take part in these musical activities for three days.

Entertaining State Hospital patients with a Valentine party were FHA Chapter I, the Future Nurses Club, and the music department at Travis. These groups entertained three hundred patients.

One of the 10 girls chosen by the Sears, Roebuck Foundation from Texas high schools to be honored at the San Antonio Fat Stock Show was Alice Mosteller, Travis senior. She is now serving as Area Seven FHA Chairman.

Honored by the Thankful Hubbard Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution was Travis junior, Dorothy Martin. Dorothy was presented a medal by this organization in recognition of her outstanding work as an American history student.

This Tuesday is movie day again for Rebelland. The Pan American Student Forum will present a movie entitled, "Freedom Highway," to a pay assembly.
