Today's Featured Biography
Melodee Knorre Nyquist
I left Travis the middle of my junior year as we were transfered from Bergstrom Air Force Base to Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls, Montana. I graduated from Great Falls High School in 1960 and began college at the College of Great Falls and the Columbus School of Nursing.
I have kept in touch with a number of the travis grads and visited Austin about six years ago. Until then, most of you were frozen in my mind at the age of sixteen. Am looking forward to renewing old friendships with the class.
Please keep me updated as there may be a possibility of my returning for the 50th reunion.
Regards,
Melodee Knorre Nyquist

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.
Travis Drawl
By Mike Hinton
November 25, 1958
The school week at Travis started with a film shown during activity period Monday morning. Sponsored by the Pan American Student Forum (PASF), the reel contained an old time slapstick, one of Tex Ritter's early efforts, an exhibition of the playing skill of the Harlem Globetrotters. The sponsor of PASF is Mrs. Margaret Adey.
Dr. Lorene Rogers, professor of chemistry at the University of Texas, was the speaker at the regular meeting of the Future Nurses and Allied Health Careers Club Thursday morning. Dr. Rogers is working with Dr. Roger Williams in biochemistry. Twenty-six of this organization toured Brooke General Hospital yesterday. They were greeted upon arrival by General Clement F. St. John. They were honored by the hospital staff at a luncheon.
Our Thespians of the Scarlet Masque are in need of a racoon coat and several pairs of high-button shoes for their next production. If you know of anyone who might wish to help out in this instance, please contact Mr. Philip Jackman, sponsor of the Thespians. These items are needed by Thanksgiving.
One of the high points of the school year at Travis is the Southern Ball. The Rebelettes, guided by Mrs. Bernard Forster, will present their Southern Belle at this affair. She will be selected by the student body from nine nominees, all of whom are senior Rebelettes. Date of the dance will be December 13.
Radio station KTBC invited the Travis football team to the South Austin Civitan Teen Canteen, broadcast for the first time from South Austin last night. Disc Jockey was Mr. Bob Dayton. Entertainment was furnished in part by Miss Norvella Ross, blues singer, who has appeared at the Copa Cabana in New York City. We would like to thank radio station KTBC and the Civitan Club for the interest they have shown in teenagers. It is appreciated.
