2:00 P.M. JUNIOR HISTORIAN TOUR OF AUSTIN
Through the courtesy of Mr. Pericles Chriss and Interstate
Theaters, the nineteenth annual Junior Historian meeting was
held in the Varsity Theater at Austin. After the morning session
and an informal tour of the University of Texas campus, dele-

ceremonies were performed by members of Chapter 61, Robert
E. Lee High School, Baytown, under the sponsorship of Mrs.
Sybil Jordan. A program in the form of a miniature Junior His-

persons in attendance. Following the luncheon, delegates partici-

Museum, the State Cemetery, and other historic and interesting
places in the city. Guides for the Junior Historians were members
of the Stephen F. Austin chapter of Austin, under the sponsor-
