YqCU'1IZCllIOh5 PERSONALITY CLUBS Th boys' and girls' personality clubs, spdnsorecf respectively by Miss Maud Benson and Mrs. Cherry Simpson, were so popular that additional personality clubs were organized at midterm. The clubs learn correct manners, good grooming, and cultivate poise by taking part in social activities. Occasionally both clubs join in a dance in the rotunda during club period. Members of the clubs submitted to the sponsors questions which puzzled them in their social relationships, and these questions were answered. 4 H CLUBS The boys' 4 H Club has a membership of 38. Mr. Larry L. Burleson, county agent, meets with the boys each month. Each boy is expected to carry on an approved demon- stration, which may be livestock or a crop. The girls' 4 H Club consists of 42 mem- bers, under the leadership of their sponsor, Mrs. R. C. Marshall, and the county agent, Miss Beatrice Elliott. The girls Work on home projects to get points toward earning their pins and going to summer camp.

The Galena Park game on Octo- ber 17, l946, is a bad memory: score, 39 to 0 in favor of Galena Park. The band was faithful in atten- dance at all the games and added much to the enjoyment of each occasion.

NINTH GRADE PLAY The Ninth Grade presented its class plcy, "Strictly Formal," February 21. Mrs. Beth Skinner directed the play. The scene at right shows the cast studying their lines. ll-GSTIVITISS This tleltl is a familiar scene in junior high as Christmas approaches. The Ninth Grade looks torward with pleasure to the trimming ot its tree in the rotunda. Other classes have their trees in the home rooms. The art students make colorful transparent murals ' for the doors at Christmas time. 4 The Ninth Grade Class last year pre- sented three one-act plays instead of a longer play. The scenes at lett were taken from two of the plays. The upper scene is from "Gentleman in the Makingf' the lower, from "Sail Right ln." The third play was "Green Shadows." Mrs. Edna Shaw directed the plays last year. ll-QSTIVITIZS NINTH GRADE BANQUET Each spring the seniors of junior high entertain them- selves With a banquet. The pictures at the right show fac- ulty and students ot the ninth grade enjoying last year's ban- quet. The class play is given to pay for the banquet. ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS Pupils of junior high enjoy many fine assembly programs during the year. Eacn home room and most ot the clubs and other organizations present programs sometime dur- ing the yearr The picture at the left was taken while Miss Petsick's home room waspresenting their program last spring. S Prmqlame tl PLAY DAY An annual event of springtime at junior high school is Play Day. The afternoon is ' entirely devoted to sports and games of all kinds. Almost every student participates in some organized sport. Usually the Sixth Grade from elementary school visits junior high that day and takes part in the fun. This gives them a good intro- duction to junior high life. The picture above shows Ierrie Monarch Winning the girls' 100-yard dash last year. SADIE HAWKINS DAY Sadie Hawkins Day is a day ot fun on which junior high boys and girls dress and act the part of the comic strip "Lil Abner." Most of the junior high students participated last year, dressed in the comy mountain garb of Daisey May, Little Abner, Mammy and Pappy Yoakum. The traditional race in which every gal tried to "get her man" was held after school. Lucky males caught in the race were escorted to the party in the recreation hall that night. . The small snapshots show boys and girls getting ready for the big race. The larger picture shows the crowd at the party. ,, Msg - , . - -Ve- 'X .- K- -' ' A, 4 'L ' -.

Sometimes materials emerge from development work not specifically sought for in the original task. Yet they are the logical result of established chemical reactions. Their prop- erties, of course, are known, but their ultimate usefulness to in- dustry has not been completely charted. There are probably as many as 7,000 of these chemicals and chemical compoundsthat have emerged from Dow laboratory developments. They are neither accidents nor by-products, but co-products. They align them- selves readily into scientific groups-for example, phenolic derivatives. From time to time these are referred to technicians in various manufacturing fields who may find among them just the needed chemical ingredient to put the finishing touch to their own work in progress. To borrow a banking analogy, these chemicals are industry'l "special account" with Dow on which it can draw so that con- structive developments may proceed to their succemul con- clusion. And thus America at large has a genuine stake in this accumulation of potential assets. bfa44f.f3L,,,g,,d4-vawldffmwpa, WW uw MW ' W MZZZZZQWM I ww Awwwwwwww f1:7fzmf:'2WQ ,, fQv4: - f!99'7 udmqjtv' NATLOCK'5 Grocerg .ma lVIarke'C Akvm, Texas Phone 150 5? . wi?"""'-w-Q. -we 5 Q N6 .1 ous s JY Q mg s: nm i A 1 'M-...W ,RM 2 Q u we ....N
