Today's Featured Biography
Jack Bradsher
I graduated from U.T. School of Pharmacy in 1967. Then practiced pharmacy in the Dallas & Austin area for 14 years before deciding it was time for a profession change. I became a real estate broker and opened my real estate firm in 1981. This allowed me to invest in real estate in Austin therefore doing something that I had always wanted to do. I married Mavis in 1992 after divorcing my first wife. I have a step-daughter (Jennifer) and 4 grand children (Pam, Michael Paul, Mika, and Brook). I was involved in youth work at my church for years. I have shot competitive skeet, but my passion is hunting and fishing. I like to do alot of different things especially travel. I spend a great deal of time developing my new ranch. I look forward to seeing alot of you at the reunion. REBELS TRUE!

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 Carol Cotman
October 13, 1957
The climax of the football season comes to Rebelland this week as the approaching McCallum game lights fires in the hearts of all true Rebs.
Fighting with all their might will be the Southsiders this coming Friday night when the Victory Bell will again be the center attraction as both teams battle for it. The bell is now in the possession of the Knights who made one more first down last year than did the Rebs.
Boosting the school spirit will be a color day, with all Travisites decked in red and grey, and the election of the Friendliest Girl and the Friendliest Boy which will bring an end to Hi Ya'll Week.
Snipes at Travis are seen often with their heads in a book, studying madly; but a closer look will find that this book is not math or English, but a yell book containing all the Rebel yells. This book gives newcomers to Travis a chance to 'bone-up' on the cheers in order to get in the spirit of Dixie at the games.
Publishing this book were the two chapters of the Future Homemakers of America at Travis. President of Chapter I is Barbara Kay; vice-president, Barbara Seipp; secretary, Sondra Bray; treasurer, Donita Palmer; reporter, Geraldine Linder; song leader, Barbara Murchison; sponsor is Mrs. Carmen K. Ferris.
Presiding over Chapter II is Alice Mosteller; vice-president, Wanda Ponder; secretary, Melinda Milstead; treasurer, Nancy Pearson; reporter, Margaret Burt; historian, Sandra Harris; parliamentarian, Sue Oliver; song leader, JoAnn Pannell; pianist, Phyliss Crouch; sponsor is Mrs. Irene Falk.
Keeping Travisites smiling last Tuesday and Wednesday was the school photographer who took pictures for the school annual.
Thursday meant the first club day of the year at Travis. Keeping the Rebs smiling, and amazed, too, was Duke Gordon and his "bow magic" on Friday. Mr. Gordon and his wife presented an assembly on this day exhibiting many skills in archery.
Indians on the rampage! Not quite, but there's been serious talk of a teepee having been seen in the drama room at Travis. Further investigation, however, proved that "Ten Little Indians" will soon be presented by the Thespians of the Scarlet Masque. The cast includes Jimmy Herrell, Melinda Milstead, Bert Ledenham, Chester Eitz, Sue Graham, Judy Griffin, Frank Ray, Iris Votaw, Martha Gaskin, Kenneth Tidwell and Tommy Proffitt. Director is Mrs. Pat MacAllister and assisting her are Riki Krezdorn, Nancy Sappington, Chuggy Horton and Bill Frazee.
