Howard Clifford “Bully” Gilstrap came to Schreiner from the University of Texas where he had been a champion athlete in football, basketball, and track. He was the first athletic director (1925-1937) and coached Schreiner’s football team in its first undefeated season in 1926.  See more photos of Coach Gilstrap from the SU archives in the Portal to Texas History.

Is it baseball season yet? Here’s hoping the team is in as good a form as they were back in Coach Henry’s day.

Take a look at our library lending rules from 1964, courtesy of former librarian Mrs. Margaret Pantermuehl. “Fiction may be borrowed for a two-weeks period, with no renewal allowed. Reference works, folios and atlases may not be borrowed, but vertical file materials may be borrowed for a one-week period on a call slip. Records may be let out for overnight use, only.”

Every archive has its mysteries and this photo simply titled A Woman on A Horse by a River is one such mystery from our Schreiner Institute Collection. The period is clearly early 20th century and the landscape is the Texas Hill Country near Kerrville but will we ever know this woman and her connection to Schreiner? Is identification necessary to appreciate the artistic and historical value of this photograph?
