Mean- while. the band drilled faithfully plan- ning halftime shows. In the first game of the season The first of school found everyone greeting old friends and teachers again. Books got lost, kids got in the wrong classes, and the lockers sagged under their new loads while teachers were sharpening their little red pencils. Good heavens!

All of a sudden there was a mad search for old dresses, beat-up hats, wom-out brooms and baby pacifiers. Initiation time was at hand. The Fish wore necklaces made of old pop bottle tops and in the CHS manner, were herded down town to mop off the sidewalks. The revelry was punctuated with shouts of Get her, Freshman! Yea man!

October 17, all the presidents of the various organizations and the elected representatives met to elect officers. Mary Sue Myers became the president, Joan Hill, vice president, and Sarah Lee Storey, secretary. The council proceeded to do a very good job. They helped work out problems, took care of opening as- semblies, and made suggestions for im- provements around the school, Finally it was carnival time and the street between the schools was filled with FUN.

They won quite a reputation around the district by winning all of their first practice games. November was a busy month for CHS. All the organizations were out to get money and the FHA started it off with a cake sale November 5. The an- nual staff sponsored the Curtis magazine sales again this year and kids in junior high and high school sold 3 662 worth of subscriptions. The girls got a new basketball coach this year. Mrs. Jones had them out working by the first of November. They were really a sharp team and every one of them tried as hard as they could.

The students responded favorably and made it a big success, the toys going to Co- tul1a's needy children. In the Christmas issue of EL VAQUERO, the staff published letters to Santa Claus. Everything from Buicks and solutions to algebra problems to mink stoles and clean knee guards were asked for.

We were hosts to Dilley, January 3, and the Cowboys met defeat again but the Cowgirls eased ahead in a thriller. The following week-end our boys went to the Dilley tourna- ment, worked their way to the finals by beating tough Freer in a close one, and lost only to Dilley again. We placed Cox and Mills on the all-tournament team. That's twol January 13 started district play with the Cowboys running over San Felipe. Then followed Pearsall, Carrizo, Crystal, and Hondo in rapid succession. The boys beat Pearsall and Carrizo by two points each, Crystal beat us by one, and both girls and boys handed Hondo defeat. We know that mouth is there. After whipping Pearsall, the Cowgirls were stomped by Carrizo Springs and Crystal City. January 31 the Cowboys met San Felipe again in the first game of the second round and again came out on top. The game was played in an ice-cold gym in Del Rio, but as usual for the Cowboys turned out to be another scorcher. The Cowboy Band gave a concert for the school January 27.

Band Rates Two Plus' screamed EL VAQUERO headlines and the band was screaming it too. After many hours of hard practice and hard work the Cow- boy Band went to San Antonio to the UIL Region VI contest and came home with a record to be proud of, Good night' we only wanted , , . to take your picture! More definite plans concerning the one and only Iunior-Senior Banquet were announced early in March.
