L V i.la aaa Table of Contents 2 Page Page Page Pvee Page Page Page Page STUDENTS OF ROBERT DRISCOLL JUNIOR HIGH: Again we are about to bring a school year to a close and in so doing we will promote another group of our friends to Roy Miller High School. I hope that you feel, as I do, that this has been a profitable and enjoyable school year. We have had many problems this year and we have shared them together. Most of them have been solved satisfactorily and I hope that the others will be solved by next year. Even though we have been greatly inconvenienced this year due to overcrowding, we have had a very successful year and it is because each of you have cooperated to the best of your ability and because you have wanted to make of Robert Driscoll the very best Junior High School in town. Your days in Robert Driscoll mean more than English, Math, Science, and exams, for it is here that the basic friendships and philosophies of life are formed. It has been the goal of the faculty of this, your school, to help you in school, to help you in your school work and to help you find your place in life so that you might be of better service to your fellowman, to God, and to your country. Best wishes to each and everyone of you wherever you may be next year. We will be looking forward to having those of you that will be back with us next year and we will miss each of you that will be in our new Junior School next year or that will be in High School. We will always be interested in you and your accomplish- ments. Sincerely, Mr. G. W. Parish Principal To those of you who are completing another successful school let me say Con- gratulations, For most of you I know it has been a big year full of new things, activities, learnings, and even problems. To us, it has been successful in that most of our students have done the things and learned the facts that we hoped they would during the year. We hope those of you who are leaving Robert Driscoll this year will remember our school as a place that helped you grow into the kind of person you wanted to be. And for those of you who will be with us again may next year be the best year ever.

Pari h Greet Workshop Proves Big Success For Driscoll tudent Cotmcil Officers VVe have a big surprise for all you kids who think Student Council is ALL work and no fun. The picture you see below was taken of three of the fall Student Council officers at the state Student Council workshop in Alpine, Texas. Left to right are Cecile Blacknion, secretary: Beverly Couch, president nad David Irving, vice-president. The workshop was at Sul Ross Col- lege in Alpine, Texas from July 31st to August 7th. This was the first time in West Texas for all of them, which made it even more exciting. The officers were accompanied by Mrs. T. Adkins, Jeanette McClintock, and Mr. and Mrs. Boney. The college went all out for this workshop and had something plan- for every minute we were there. schedule vrent something like this. From 7:30 to 8:15 was break- with a 15-minute break before n ed The fast going to the morning assembly from 8:30 to 11:45. Recreation was from 11:4-5 till lunch at 12:15. At 1:30 we went back to the evening assembly until 3:45. Then until 5:30 was recreation with four teams compet- ing against each other in some kind of sport. From 5:30 to 7:00 was din- ner and time to get ready for what- ever they had planned that night. One night they had square dancing, the next night we had a song fest. We were divided into four groups and planned different songs to sing. We had just a plain dance the next Light in the Student Union Build- ang. The night of our banquet we also had a stunt night, where the four groups made up stunts and competed for points. The main topics our speaker spoke on in the assembly were Aims and Objectives of the Student Coun- cil, Projects of the Student Coun- cil, Organizations of the Student Council, Evaluation of the Student Council, and the last day he spoke on Where Do We Go From Here? Since the workshop was over on Friday afternoon we stayed till Sat- urday morning. Friday afternoon we went to Old Fort Davis and then mountain climbing and ate dinner at Indian Lodge. One afternoon we took off from the assembly and the whole work- shop went on the Scenic Tour of the Davis Mountains. We went to Mc- Donald Observatory and had a bar- becue in the mountains. On the way back we stopped at Judge Roy Bean,s place in Lantry, Texas where this picture was taken. All three of the officers enjoyed the trip thoroughly and wish that everyone of you could have been there with us. STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS-From CL. to RJ Cecile Blackman, secretory: Beverly Couch, president and Dcxvicl Irving, vice-president. ld and Greetings to all of the new students of Robert Driscoll Junior High School and to all of those students that are returning to this school for another year. We hope that you will enjoy this year at Driscoll and that you will profit scholastically The students that have been in this school in the years past have found just what you will find this year that the school is just what you wish to make it and to those of you who Work to make it a friendly and well ordered school will find it just that and you will make many new friends. Those of you who feel that it is important to study and co-oper- ate with the teachers will find that there is much to be gained here Zlllgfll' scholastically and that one of the best faculties in the State is assem- bled here for you. This is your school and the school is operated for your benefit but you have many responsibilities that you must meet so that the school can better serve you. These responsibili- ties can be summed up as those nor- mally considered for good citizen- ship. When you assume your respon- sibilities you will find that all of the members of the faculty are on the same team as you and will help you at all times. You will find that we are going to have many problems this year, most of which will be due to the very large enrollment. If you will consider this problem and assist in every way that you can you will help to make this a better place to go to school. With over fifteen hundred students on the campus, if only one half of the students were careless in the care of school property it wouldn't be long until the school would be an eye sore instead of an attractive place for school. By the same token, if only a portion of us are careless of our behavior in the halls and on the playground the halls would become intolerable. Best wishes to each of you for a very successful school year. -G. W.

Talking about cute couples, Gerald Creel and Blanche Duff are really TOPS. Whoo, Whoo, look who's fallen for George Lowman hook, line, and sinker, Judy Blackmon and the feeling is mutual Cwe knovvb. Crystal Gandy sure has a flashy Sr. ring, maybe that's why we hear so much about Agua Dulce. Sally Clark has a good looking ring too, belonging to one Ray Sterns. What do you bet Joyce Byrd is really proud of her football hero Donnie Doss from Miller. Miller' has really done some fine football playing. We hope Driscoll does as good if not better, Say you Driscoll cats you'd bet- ter get out from behind that eight ball, there's quite a few kittens run- ning around loose like Janice Pul- liam, Patsy Hobbs, Sandra Riley, Carolyn Alston, Sandy Cryer, Diana Loyd, Mary Mosel, and a whole lots more, just look around. CPIeal Goodj. Say girls it's heard that that goes for the boys, too. Just bait your traps and hope. Julie Dotson has quite a few College Academy boys running after her. fDon't run too fast Juliej Slow down, I say! Linda Crofford has her eyes roam- ing looking for a new beau. They just might land on Grady Enger.

Boney, you know any funny jokes? Yea, I've got 26 of them five periods a day. Howdy Doo Students, How Are You? Say you know we have a lot of new students this year. In fact over IGDO of them. That's a lot of stu- dents trying to go through the halls during the 5-minute period. Includ- ing 7th, 8th, and 9th graders. Maybe we could sort of go easy on the shov- ing and pushing in the halls during that time. There are a lot of students I'm proud to say I know. You know you really ought to get together and go to some of the dances that Driscoll is giving. And meet some new Kids. After all that's what these dances are for. To make a good school, you have to have some good spirit. Some that will go out on the fields and root like mad for the boys that's playing football. School spirit will make you proud of your school and in that way it'll be a better and cleaner place for you to go every day. Each of you will have a job here at Driscoll. It may be getting your lessons or walking quietly through the halls, or whatever you do. But, no matter what you're job is, be sure you try your best at it. And I'm sure you'll do a job that you can be proud of. -Ann Donaldson.

By working together we can have one of the finest of all school years here at Robert Driscoll. Installation of S. C. Officers Monday morning October 3, the fall Student Council officers were in- stalled in a candlelight service in the cafeteria. The installation was at- tended by the ninth grade. Jack Pratt lead the Pledge of Al- ligence and Mr. McLeod said the prayer. Mr. Parrish installed the new President, Beverly Couch, who in turn installed the other officers. They are David Irving, Vice-President, Cecile Blackmon, Secretary, and Bo- bo Beynon, Treasurer. Then the Acappela Choir ended the program by singing I Would Be True. Battle of the Halls Poor Mary! Nobody had meant for it to happen. Mary had gotten an arm broken in the mad rush in the halls. The boys and girls who must have thought they were a herd of trampled Mary stampeding cattle who was walking to class like a person. I'm sure you all know this is not a true stoy-yet! I'm sure you all know too, that it could easily happen here at Driscoll if students continue to act like stampedeing cattle instead of people in the halls. With 1500 students crowding the halls it would be much quicker, much easier, and less dangerous if every- one would slow down and keep their hands and elbows to themselves. It's not very funny to have an elbow in your side, hands in your face push- ing you backwards, and getting crush- ed against a wall. Remember, To be courteous al all limes is hard, to be rude is fdiofs delight. -Pinina Norrod The best place to find a helping hand is at the end of your arm. afet Patrol tarts Off Year With A ig Ban iofllicers of Our Safety Patrol Boys For the last three years the Safety Patrol of Robert Driscoll has received a trophy for their outstanding work in safety traffic. They need 'our help as well as we need their's. Let's help them, and ourselves, by walking on right side of the street, only one person to a bicycle, and by just using common sense about safety.

Cappi Adams Crash,Bang,W'ham! Meet the Press Due to the fact that we have near- ly 4-00 more students this year, our hall traffic has become a very press- ing problem. And how great or small this problem is depends on us, the students. Shall we run through the halls, regardless of the confusion we cause or the possible injury to others? NO! Let's all walk on the right, as quiet- ly as possible, careful never to jostle or shove our fellow students. Shall we congregate in front of a friend's locker to discuss the week- end's activities or who's going steady these days? NO! Groups of students in the hallways block traffic. Get your things from your lockers as quickly as possible, move on to your next class, and save the gossip until you're out of the building. VVhen we reach our class-room, shall we stand in the doorway and watch the passing parade? NO! If we move on to our desks, other students may enter and leave by the door without delay. Shall we rush madly to school and then stop in the building entrance and wait to greet all our friends? NO! Go directly to your classes. Loitering near the entrances will cause a serious bottleneck. This is our school! For the length of time we are students here, we are responsible for it. Let's show our pride in our school by being quiet, courteous, and considerate of others in its halls. -Cecile Blackman. Callers 1895: Grandma had a caller Who had a timid heart, When they sat together, They sat this far apart. 1930: Mother had a boy friend Who was bashful and shy. Do you think he ever kissed her?

Hoop - Crazy Hillsdale Hillsdale was a small town, a com- munity where everyone knew every- one from the banker to the butcher. Although it was small, Hillsdale pro- duced some of the finest basketball 'cams in the state. This was a basket- ball town as many small towns are. Big crowds turned out to see every game, players would rather die than he taken out of a game. But most of all the townspeople, everyone, mayor, farmer. housewife, child and -even the faculty-got behind the teams and supported them. They knew and felt that this support was wonderful and it brought out the best in them and Snuffy Simpson their coach. It was the end of a dreary day and the beginning of the bright part of the day for Tip Carson of Shankfield High School which had been named after one of the towns people citizens long ago. He was on his way to the gym and eager for basketball prac- tice to start. Tip was a tall clean, good looking boy with broad should- ers and his black curly haid and deep blue eyes had more of the girls around school swooning than any other boy. He had a perfect build for a center and that's what he was, As he entered the locker room he received a chorus of greetings from his friends and pals. There was Phil Baugh a forward, Slick Millchick a guard, Tommy Blackburn another forward, and Stumpy Egan a guard who stood about 5 ft. 7 in. and a sure bet on a sure shot. This was supposedly the varsity but the only trouble was there were too many good subs to keep the first stringers hurtling. As a matter of fact they looked worried as they went out of the locker room it sounded as their chatter was forced although spirited. In a town like Hillsdale with the in- terest so great, the coach will go to any extent to field a winning team and in turn this keeps the boys on their toes for there is plenty of talent around if needed. Today was the first cut and the coach was at the center with the list in his hand, they'd soon know.

SOCIETY NEWS Genoa, Italy, 14-79 Christopher Columbus, a former resident of Genoa, now residing in Lisbon is to marry the daughter of Perestrello, also a resident of Lisbon. The bride-to-be will be given away by her father, a navigator, on June 8th at 9:00 A.M. WHAT WILL MAN THING OF NEXT? Lisbon, Italy 184-8 Strange as it may seem Chris- topher Columbus, a navigator from Genoa who has resided here for five years says that he believes that the world is round. As anyone knows, it is flat, but this man has had the nerve to ask the King of Portugal, King Henry VII, of England, and at first he even tried to interest the people of Genoa, where he was born, to give him money, ships and men to help him find a new route to the East. The poor man thinks that by sailing west you can reach the east. When he falls off the edge of the world he'll know he was wrong! Pity the poor man! COLUMBUS OF GENOA TRYING TO FIND ROUTE TO EAST August 2, 194-2, Spain King Ferdinand and Queen Isa- bella have given Christopher Colum- bus ships and men to try to find a route to the east by sailing west. The King and Queen granted him three ships, the Pinta, commanded by Alo- za Pinzor, the Nina, commanded by Vicente Pinzon, and Columbus him- self is commanding the Santa Maria. The expedition is leave tomorrow at dawn. If the shorter route is found it will mean many riches for Spain -if not, a loss.

The touchdown was made on an intercepted pass caught by Johnny Brown. On the kickoff Driscoll kicked to the 20 and Flores Addie received and ran to the 30, then failed to gain and on the fourth they kicked to the 40 where Fred Gonzalez received and fumbled, then fell on it. Driscoll failed to gain until second when Al- bert Olaverez took a hand-off from Jul- ian Garza and picked up 10 yards. Then Cunningham came back to set us back to our 45. Fourth down and we kicked to 20. On the first down Cunningham quarter back Juan Gon- zalez tried a short pass to the right flat and Johnny Brown intercepted for a T.D. Albert Olivarez fleft halfj point was no good. The kick off is to 20 and Sammy Garza picks it up and gains 15, On first down Julian Garza to Cunningham 45. On first Driscoll sets them back 3 yards. On second a pass to Lee Ford picks up 10, on third another pass is broken up by Johnny Brown. On last they gamble and pass and it was inter- cepted by Tony Maldonado and on DriscoIl's first the time runs out. It was a good game and all the boys played a fine game. Keep up the good works.

Cappi Adams How About It? Recently Mr. Parish, our principal, requested that Robert Driscoll stu- dents either eat at home or not leave the school grounds at noon. Some students, who are used to eating lunch in Shell Center, seem to think this is unfair. .Perhaps they would understand the situation better if they would realize that Mr. Parish didn't make this rule because he thought it would be fun. He made it because he considered it necessary and he studied the facts carefully before making his decision. Mr. Parish knows that our cafe- teria is over-crowded and untidy, but the students are the only ones who can correct this unfortunate situation. If every student would pitch in to keep our cafeteria clean and orderly we wouldn't need to be afraid some visitor is going to see it and go away with a bad impression of the whole school and all its students. We know our school is the best anywhere but anyone who sees our cafeteria is going to be hard to convince. It is indeed sad that students who behave as they should must be de- prived of their privileges because some students aren't old enough to go to lunch without some one to keep them out of trouble. This includes causing the business people of Shell Center trouble and throwing food in the cafe- teria. CThis would be a disgrace to a child in kindergarten.j Out of respect for Mr. Parish and our school, every student of Robert Driscoll should con- sider themselves on their honor to stay here and help the rest of us make our cafeteria as nice a place to eat as our own homes or any place in Shell Center. Meet the Press This week we would like to intro- duce our assistant editor, Pinina Nor- rod. Pinina has brown hair and blue eyes. She is 14- years of age and is 5' 44 inches tall. Pinina's homeroom teacher is Miss Seiler and is in the ninth grade. She attended Oak Park Elementary School. Pinina lives at 4-206 Mueller and her telephone number is well we'll let you find that out for yourself! This is Pinina's first year on the staff but it seems like she's been with us for years.

Halloween means holy eve- ning because it comes the day before All Saints' Day. We celebrate Halloween with pranks and parties or as commonly called tricks or treats. The early people of Britian cele- brated their autumn festival at this time of year. It was an occasion for feasting on all kinds of food which had been grown during the summer. The modern customs of decorating for Halloween are pumpkins, leaves, and cornstalks which came from the Druids. They also believed in ghosts, spirits, black cats, and witches. Halloween is celebrated by both children and grown-ups. There are special games we play at Halloween such as bobbing for apples and telling fortunes and ghost stories. Everyone always enjoys Halloween, no matter who or where you are. FLASH! From The P. E. Field Mrs. Crider's 4th class organized two teams. The Cliatsj and the CCatsj. For 4- days the CRatsj and the CCatsj played like mad. The fRats finally won' out. VVhat Rats they were-Score 15 to 11. The fa- mous fRatj was Maria Garcia and the famous CCatj of the Week was Delia Torres CWow! What a Cat! Fun was had by all.j tired. Coach had really put them through the paces today. Tommy and Stumpy were still groaning and moaning. Hey Stump, you and Tom come on over to the house and have some cookies and milk. Mom made a fresh batch this morning, Tip in- quired Stumpy. Say Tip that's a great idea. Okay doke, that's fine with me, agreed Tommy. Coming up the walk like a pack of horses they clambered to the house and to the kitchen as Tip got the cookies and milk they hashed over the day's action. 'tYou know Tip, that big guard is pretty classy, com- mented Stumpy. Whats wrong Stump, you getting worried? ierred Tom. '4Well at least we're safe for awhile. We all survived the first cut, commented Tip with a sigh of relief. Next day, while shooting around with Tom and Stumpy, Tip noticed that Coach Simpson was motioning to him. L'Tip I have an idea and I want to talk it over with you in my office after practice tonight, re- quested the coach. Sure coach, but what's this all about? questioned Tip. you just wait until after prac- tice today and for goodness sake don't say anything about this to your team- mates! directed Snuffy. And with that the coach shuffled out to the cen- ter circle and called practice to or- der. As practice progressed through the hours Tip wondered what in the world coach could want to see him about. After practice he dressed quickly and hurried up the steps to coach's office. He stood before the door and knocked and entered as coach called, come in. CTO Be Continuedj F.H.A. Club Organized The officers of F.H.A. this year are Elizabeth Webb, president, Myra Jane Alston, vice-president and Jo Ann Medcalf, secretary.

They're Janice Pulliurn. Ronald Green, Jimmy Mc- Horse. J, VV. lVIartin's new also. Het hails from North Side. Man dig that new cheerleader this rear, boy whoever goes with her is sure lucky. and who else wouldn't I be talking about? but Blanche Duff. I wonder who Buzzy I-Iart and Fred Horne like now? I know its some nice cute chicks, Ginger Bed- ingfield and some of the other girls have been making like singers every day at lunch. Or Iet's put it this way, their trying to. Doesn't Josephine Flores make a darling cheerleader, well as far as that goes they all do. VVhen Linda Crofford falls for some one, she falls like a falling rocket and man that's fast. Ha, ha, wouldn't Louis Leal look funny with red hair? Did you see Glenda Bennett hit a home run and she got to second base too, while playing football the other day. Seems like Beverly Couch has been making eyes at a blond headed boy in the 3rd period choir. Sits right beside her too. VVouder who the boy is Betty Mull likes now. Oh, Oh, shouldn't have ask her. she's going with a boy from Miller High. Well, what do you know, we got all three Lucas here this year. They come in this order, Milte, Linda, and that cute little Billie. You know, maybe I shouldn't say little, but big. Do you think Sarah Jane Smith will get the boy she wants, well she sure won't have to try very hard. J. VV. Alylen sure likes his hunting gun, I believe its his best friend, to tell the truth. KI wonder how Hynie Ky Glasgow, is getting along in his Algebra. I-Ia, ha.j Can you imagine Bobo Beynon not flirting with all the girls, especially the ninth grade ones. Well, I had better bring this column to an end, or it might be the end of 1ne. From, The Editoris Desk I-Iey, kids. how many of you have bought your annual? They're going fast and they'll be better than ever this year. There are going to be 600 disappointed faces November 10th, when some students find out no more annuals can be ordered. The sooner you get your deposit in the better our annual will be. Make your deposit today and we guarantee you the best annual in town.-Mary Mosel. ri fa- M.. ,. The head cheerleader who has been doing such a good job is Ginger Bed- ingfield. This is Ginger's second year as a cheerleader for Driscoll.

How many hundreds people in other countries wake up the morning and find they have nothing to eat. When we go to the grocery store we see more meat than these people have ever seen in their whole life. The children might not have winter clothes to wear during the cold win- ter months. fast and warm clothes for granted. Maybe that's why we sometimes forget about the needy people.

K'Tip, I wanted to talk to you before I said anything to the other members of the team since you're the team captain, offered Snuffy. Tip sat silently and nodded at what the coach said. But the thought still persisted, what in the world could coach have concocted in his brain this time. Well Tip, here is what I had in mind. On a football team the quar- terback, or ball-handler is the head of the team, right? questioned Coach Simpson. Tip agreed with him, but you don't have a center and a line in basketball as in football, so what could he mean by this. O.K. then if we could take stumpy or some other guard and have him to take the ball so that we can work out a number of plays similar to football plays. Get the idea? asked Coach. Here Tip, this is a diagram of the formation that we'll use basic- ally. Blackburn Carson Bough O O O Millchick Egan O O Of course we'll have some varia- tions with the shifting of different de- fenses, explained Coach. K'Do you think it will work? Well, I don't know. I'm not too much of an expert on this since it's your idea, but it will certainly be different! Tip answered. Well then, we'll give it a whirl, said Soaclt Simpson as he got up from his seat and led Tip to the door. As Tip went down the steps and out of the gym he wondered how this wierd idea would come out when it was actually put into prac- tice. WANT ADS HELP WANTED-All males and females at Driscoll to help keep the cafeteria clean. LOST-The .hearts of quite a few boys to Miss Ann Nixon. and three majorettes at Driscoll Junior High. FOUND-Blue slips in a lot of mail boxes and quite a few long faces at Driscoll. WANTED-City football champion- ship for the Rangers. About one hundred Corpus Christi students heard an address by Mr. Hargrove, principal of Wynn Seale Junior High. This was followed by discussion groups on the following subjects: The Student Council Con- stitution, Responsibility of Officers, and Responsibility of Members.

Why We Have ldhanksgiving Actually I don't think we stop and think what Thanksgiving really is other than just having a feast and then seeing a hot digity football game between Roy Miller and W. B. Ray. I hope as you read this you will bear in mind really why we have Thanksgiving, and why we should take it in consideration. The Plymouth colonists celebrated their first Thanksgiving the second winter they were in Massachusetts. The first year they were in Mas- sachusetts so many of the colonists died they really had no reason to thank God for what he had given them. They celebrated Thanksgiving in the fall after the crops had been reaped. It took many days for the women and children to prepare the feast. They roasted, baked, and boiled for days, They invited the Indians to the feast also. Usually about eighty came. They brought deer meat and wild turkeys as their share, They had the feast outdoors and afterwards had prayers and sermons to thank God for what he had given them. After the ceremony the Indians re- turned to the forest and the colonists went back to their tasks. It is still a tradition to have tur- key and a feast on Thanksgiving. President Lincoln in 1863, issued that Thanksgiving be celebrated on the last Thursday of November. Thanksgiving is also a legal holi- day in Canada. On November 24-th, 1955, let's all take this into consideration and give forth with our thanks. Billy Clocking at the windmilljz My, but this is a fine modern farm. They even have an electric fan for the animals. Most beautiful girl-Linda Shoe- maker. Most handsome boy-Bill Walker. Best all-round girl-Angie Puente. Best all-round boy-Joe Weaver.

Cappi Adams MUEB Sufi? YOUIFB Worh Is Your Own HI didn't copy, I didn't cheat, but I did my best! Take it as you like it but copying and cheating both in daily work and on tests seem to be two of the worst offenses to the charac- ters of good students here and in other Junior High Schools. How was that test this morning, was it hard?'7 What were some of the questions?'7 Did you get the answers? These preceding statements are typical of those which one would probably hear in the halls and classrooms during test time. They are proof of the fact there is much cheating and copying going on. Common to no one. Any student who ably doesn't even bother to dure by which he can get sense tells us that it is beneficial is in the practice of copying, prob- study, thinking only of the proce- the answers through some means other than his own memory and knowledge. Every American child is given the privilege of schooling. Why not show some gratitude by taking this opportunity of ac- quiring some knowledge by being honest enough to learn what- ever you have the ability to. Then when tests or other methods which the teachers may have in finding out what you know, answer with your own brain not someone elses. P -M ary M osel . F.H.A. To Present Super Style Show On Tuesday, November 22, at 2:30 the F.H.A. will present a style show in the school cafeteria. Admission will be 25c for students and 35c for adults.

The people who have worked on this project are promising that this year the show will be even better than last year's and anyone who saw it will tell you that was really worth seeing. Boys and girls and parents are sure to enjoy this super style show for Driscollites. Larry: What is the biggest pencil in the world? Harry: I don't know. Larry: Pennsylvania. Nazi Flags, Flutter Here Short-Lived Several irate citizens called police the morning of Nov. 13 .to complain that Nazi flags were flying at two local drive-in theatres. Thinking the swastika banners were run up by pranksters, police pulled the flags down. Later the red-faced manager of the theatres appeared to reclaim the war trophys which he explained had been put up to advertise a war movie being run at the outdoor shows.

The Turkey Hunt By BILLY HOWELL On the eve of Thanksgiving, early one morning, I started out. My ob- jective? To find a turkey gobbler and kill him for Thanksgiving dinner. Now where in the world would I find a turkey? Oh well, might as well try, if I don't Sarah, my wife, will maul me, and besides I'll have to eat beans for dinner. After I'd been walking for about an hour my .28 caliber shot-gun be- gan to get heavy so I sat down to rest. I'm not going to walk much farther I decided, and with that I got up and started off again. Lo and be- hold, about twenty yards ahead two gobblers could be seen over the top of a clump of bushes. Off I went stalking my prey. The turkeys would move ten yards and I would move twenty feet and so on. Fifteen min- utes later I finally got fed up-up a tree I went and let go with a pot shot. All three barrels, by golly, and what do you think happened? One shot hit on one side of him, one on the other side, and one in front of him, meanwhile the other gobbler ran off. That old gobbler just sat there and looked around trying to figure out where all that had come from. I reloaded as fast as I could and just as I started to shoot, the old gobbler took off. I chased him up and down hills, through thorn bushes, over fences and through them again. 'Round and 'round we went. Finally the old bird stopped, he was tired like I was, so I took careful aim and blasted. This time I had better luck, one barrel hit him in the head, one in the stomach, and one in the tail, the latter causing him to do a bit of squawking. I pick- ed him up and slung him over my shoulder and started my long trek home.

Hoop-Crazy Hillsdale By BILLY HOWELL PART IV VVhen Tip entered the locker room after classes next day he was still mulling over this new idea of C0ilCl1,S in his mind. Of course the other guys didn't know about it and the usual chattering and bantering went on in the locker room. Wliile Tip was pulling on his practice togs Tommy came up and sat on the bench beside him to lace his shoes. As Tip pulled on his shoes he in- quired, How you feel today Tom, Alright? V Sure Tip, why, anything wrong with that? questioned Tommy. 4 No, nothing wrong, I just won- dered how you were going to take the surprise this afternoon, explain- cl Tip. And regretted that the min- fite he said it. What are you talking about Tip? asked Tommy. l Nothing, nothing, just mumbling io myself, answered Tip. g Out on the floor practicing shots, Tip showed that he was deep in thought because he missed so many Shots. When coach came out and blew his whistle the squad crowded around him and all the clamor and chatter subsided. 'tFellows. we have something new to try out this afternoon, declared Snuffy. I've devised a new forma- tion with which we are going to use this season. Now I expect you to have a little trouble at first with this, but you should be able to mas- ter it easily enough. And with that he gave out the first string line-up: Egan and Millchick guards, Baugh and Blackburn forwards, and Car- son at center. He gave them the for- mation arld they had trouble as was expected, but after a while they be- gan to do better. After practice Tip walked home with Tommy and Stumpy. Now that the first part was over they won- dered how the formation would work out in an acid test of a game.

MALEY, Druggist I Page4- THE PRAIRIE PRESS Monday, November 21, 1955 Y - + The Whispering Sands Hey, now, what's this we hear about Janice Pulliam and Freddie Cuevas? Seems to be making good time with each other, Tyrone Wen- ger and Trudy Sears are another couple who seem to be enjoying each otl1er's company. Wait a minute, Direce Palmer, whatta you mean shifting around with the girls like you have been. Don't you know there's a law against that sort of thing? Should be a pio- neer and settle down to one certain girl. 011, oh, Linda Woods, you better watch it, there's a certain ninth grader chasing you. I'Ie's a real cute cat, too. Kathy Ryhan has a lot of fun in the halls now-a-days also, what goes on Kathy? Seems Patsy Edgeworth has her eye on a certain boy in Mrs. Hur- ley's homeroom. What about that? Bonnie Collins seems to be CFlip- pingj over a certain boy at Baker Junior High ftraitorj. Let me list you a few of the cats and kittens we got running around For Girls Only . . . Attention all girls! Wanna's get a boy friend? Sure you do. Then here's some GOOD advice. Dig out your gunny sacks, pistols, bear traps, and knives. Oh yes, I almost forgot, be as charming as you can. November the 26th is SADIE HAWKINS DAY. But, maybe you're the shy, timid type and even though you'd like to catch a boy friend you just can't make yourself do it. On top of that you wouldn't even know how to use the knife, bear trap, pistol, and sack. If all of that is true about you, then you need some extra special advice, mainly the steps to take. The steps are: No, 1: Find his locker. No. 2: Set your largest bear trap and put it under his locker. No. 3: Wait until the trap is sprung, then charge with pistol load- ed. Qwater pistols are safer, but don't have as good a results.j No. 4-: Don't release the trap until he promises to walk you home. If he still won't promise, put your gunny sack over him and threaten to suffo- cate him. CBy now it is guaranteed Finals Coming ln lntramural Intramural Football is almost coming to an end.

Cappi Adams taff tutters Off Society Editofs Desk: How many of you obey traffic laws? Those laws just don't mean Driscoll's, but the city's also. Robert Driscoll Junior High has one of the finest records in the city, for obeying traffic safety rules. This year I noticed that many of you bring cars, motor scooters, and bi- cycles to school, You who bring cars should be extra careful. For its so easy to hit some one behind you or in front. Say you did hit someone and killed or seriously hurt them, be- cause of your own carelessness. You would either be in trouble with the law, or else live with that guilt the rest of your life. Not so long ago two boys from Driscoll had a very bad accident on a motor scooter. One was seriously hurt, the other slighty. Their motor scooter was hit by a truck. When we see what happens we think, oh, if they had been just a little bit more careful. Just a little more, that wouldn't have happened. There are so many young teen- agers today all over the country, who either get killed or seriously hurt, on motor scooters and in cars. Although it may not be your fault when you have a accident, you may have prevented it by being extra careful. That's one of the reasons drivers young or old should be care- ful when driving any kind of ve- hicle. Did you know that there are well over 1500 students at Robert Driscoll which means that accidents are going to be easier to happen. So remember whether you're walking or riding, look around behind you and on the sides, before you go sailing out into a street. For you can just as easily get killed or seriously injure y0LlI'- self by some of your own careless- ness, just as easy as I'm sitting here typing this. -Ann. The Reason Why An ingenious member of the staff, after much research, has finally reached a conclusion on why the halls are really so crowded. Some people, fespecially girlsj might want to disagree with me at first, but as I place the bare, cold facts before you, I'm sure you'll change your mind. The reason, the real honest-to- goodness reason, is because of the girls. Not because there are so many more girls than boys, but because of the terrific amount of petticoats girls wear. Not just one, two, or three, but four, five, six, seven, and on up and up. Petticoats, you know take up quite a bit of room, espe- cially since they are usually starch- ed rather stiffly. There might still be some disbe- lievers. If so, I shall present to you still more facts. Have you ever noticed in the morning when the girl's bell rings, the way the halls fill up? There's hardly any space left, yet while the boys are in the halls, there's room to spare. There's proof of my theory! Heard the noise during the birl's bell? That's the loud, ear-breaking sound of starched petticoats crashing and hitting against each other. Then while the boys are in the halls, there's no noise. CExcept for their own quiet, little voices???j More proof of my theory. Then then-e's the proof of the way the girls go bouncing into class, un- harmed and still on their feet. Now the boys come in, bruised, knocked down and cut by starched petticoats. They have no defense in the rough game. The girls are padded by all their many, many petticoats. Boys, I can see only two ways out of this disaster. One I don't think. you'll like, the other I think you will. They are to defend yourself and wear petticoats too, or for the girls to wear tight skirts ONLY!

Sylvia Herrera and Richard Martinez have been going steady together for near- ly two weeks . . . Lucky Roberts can't wait till next year when she can go to Miller. We wonder why? Lucky! . . . Seems Ray boys have been mak- ing pretty good time with some of our ninth grade girls. Wha' happen boys? Mfyra Jane Alston and Eliza- beth Webb have been spending a lot of time in Kingsville, and the boys down there don't seem to mind it either .... Who's this that Walter Vick has his eye on now? Seems a certain ninth grader by the name of Donna Jo Perry ..,. It seems Char- les Steele has his eye on Linda Shoe- maker, can't blame him neither ..-. Who were those cute chicks that Billy Howell went to Austin with? Why not ask him. Gerald Creel sure has been danc- ing a lot with Blanche Duff at Can- teen on Saturday night. . . Who's this real cool cat that Claud Ellen Hill has been talking her head off about? To top that, he goes to Baker, too. . . . Wonder who Oneta Staley likes now? . . . What was Doris Rice blushing about the other day in Acappella choir? , . . Barbara John- son has been having a lot of fun at Canteen these last few Saturday nights, specially when she dances with Ray Sterns .... We wonder who Janice Pulliam has her eye on now? , . , Judy Blackmon certainly goes to Houston a lot. She says to visit her cousin but I'm sure we all wonder .... What's this we hear about Mary Helen Bullajian liking a certain ninth grade boy? . . . Why does Jane Plimper, Pasty Cryer, and Joy Stanberry go to all of Driscoll's dances? . . . Charles Noack and .Julie Dotson made a darling couple and they have been making a record for themselves for going together the longest .... Florence Wright cer- tainly has a lot of fun at Canteen on Saturday nights, especially when a boy by the name of J. W. Martin is there .... Here's one of our new steady couples, Sally Clark and Jim- my Wells, here's hoping they stay that way ..,. Shirley Greer has a lot of fun on the street she lives on -with boys coming and going all the time .,.. George Brown has a lot of fun going home from school too. Brown hair and blue eyes will get you no where, George. Better watch it, when a girl gets that gleam in her eye, you're a dead goose. If you don't believe me ask some of those steady going fellows around school. . . , Nancy McAdams and Jimmy Lozier have really been making eyes at each other also, but can you blame them? . . . Haynie Key Glasgow real- ly thinks Sarah Jane Smith is cute. That's nothing Haynie, so do a lot of other boys .... We wonder if Bill Dunn is trying to play keep away with the girls or something the way he trys to keep out of the girls way. . . , Whose jacket is Alice Benavides wearing? Come on tell us all, Alice. . . . . Well guess I better put an end to this column or the staff will be putting an end to me. Yours till the sands begin to change again, and that won't be very long. Hoop-frazy Hillsdale By BILLY HOWELL PART V The first game of the season was to be with Blimpton-day after to- morrow. Today would be the last day of practice before the game. Tip knew coach was worried. and he knew what about. The squad wasn't coming along on those new plays as well as they should have been. Even though the season opener was a so- called breather, with the new plays not going so smoothly it might prove to be a contest. Practice went off smoothly enough with the usual mistakes and small blunders. On the way home with his common comrades, Tommy and Stumpy, Tip asked, Say you guys, what do you honestly think the out- come of the Blimpton game will be? I mean with the new plays not work- ing so well and all. You know, Tip, I have been sort of dwelling on that subject myself. It doesn't take a genius to see that we aren't working with perfection. But my idea is that we'll do well enough to beat Blimpton, answered Tommy frankly. Well, you 'two worry-warts, you just wait till you see ole' Stump go to town. Why I'll personally rack up fifty points and you boys can just park in a rocking chair and watch how it's done! boasted Stumpy. Gosh, thanks, Hercules. You know us old men need a rest once in a while, replied Tommy with plenty of sarcasim. In the first game with Blimpton the hometown fans got a good scare in the first three quarters. With the score 32-29 in favor of Blimpton at the end of the third quarter, the wear and tear began to tell on the Blimp- ton players. They were overtaken and beaten to the tune of 4-8 to 36. After the game Tip and his bud- dies went down the street to Sam's ice cream parlor feeling pretty high. Even though they hadn't been too convincing in their plays, they had begun to do better in the second half. lTo ,Be Continuedj ' Soph: But I don't think I deserve an absolute zero.

INTRAMURAL We would like to introduce a coach who you probably have seen working himself out before school, and after school. Well this man is making a lot of kids happy. He's staying after school to referee games. He stays dur- ing football, baseball and basketball seasons. So We suggest that you thank him for his help. ln case you still haven't guessed who he is. It's Coach Weldon Richard- son. He came here from Howkin, Texas. He has brown hair, green eyes, and weighs 170 big strong pounds. He attended North Texas State College. His fa- vorite hobby is fishing and golf. He lives at lO06 Shiels Drive, with two sons that he plans will make All-Ameri- cans. We wish him luck for the rest of the season. MR. BASKETBALL We would like you to meet one of the best basketball coaches in the city. If you don't believe us look it up in the record books. Since he came here six years ago he has kept the Championship here for five years. His name is Coach Ray Nicol. He came here from New Orleans, La. He has black hair, hazel eyes, and weighs 175 healthy pounds. He attended North Texas State College, Stanford University and Tex- as University. He lettered in basketball and swimming. His hobby is flying and has one son that he plans will make All-American at Stan- ford University. We wish Mr. Nicol all the luck in the world this year. Driscoll Starts Season With Impressive Record The Driscoll .Junior High Rangers will start their 1955 basketball sea- son with a very impressive record. Since coach Ray Nicol first came here six years ago, Driscoll has won the City Junior High Champion- ship. It has also won a great num- ber of tournaments. In its last two years Driscoll has yet to lose a con- ference game. VVhen Coach Nicol was asked who he thought had been the greatest player he said, That would be hard to say, because players such as Ray Garcia, Tommy Ballew, George Hen- ricks last year, and Rueben San- chez, Robert De Leon, Benito Yanez the year before last were all good players. But one of the best who came here was Johnny Hill who made All-State last year at Miller. About this year, he says that our team will be good with the returning of Sammy Garza, Eloy Romero, Lloyd Lester, and Roland Zepeda. Our team was hurt when Daniel Leya broke his arm. No matter if we win or lose this year we'll know that Coach Nicol tried his best. So let's all go and support your Ran- gers trying to win for their SIXTH STRAIGHT YEAR. MAX'S SHOE SERVICE Expert Shoe Repair 705 Oak Park Corpus Christi AA Basketball Season Beginning Soon Yes, the basketball season is here again and this year. Driscoll's going to have a championship team. But we can't expect the Rangers to win if we aI'en't even interested enough to go to the games. Come on, Ran- gers, you did it for the football team, let's show the basketball boys were appreciate them, too. Here are some suggestions for im- proving our basketball games from some good Ranger supporters: Patsy Graham: Pep rallies before the games would help. Billye Koenig: We should have our cheerleaders there to lead the yells. Josie Cantu: The Student Coun- cil should continue to sell pom-poms and ribbons. Janice Pulliam: Maybe more peo- ple could go if we got out at 2:15 on Fridays to have a pep rally and then go on to the game instead of having them at night. Barbara Johnson: We need more publicity before the games. Betty Killen: We need to organize a student section to improve our yells and make the cheerleaders' job easier. Becky Steele: We should have a victory dance after every game. inllllllllllllIIlltillIIlllllllllllllllllIlllttilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltlllllllllgt 2 SHELL Fooo stone 5 5 mo oIa nsbnswn Im. - Ph. ru 2-7843 E 2 Youn FOODCRAFT stone 2 glllllltllllllltllllllllllllllllllltllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltllllllllllllllllllllli f'.99P939-955953-B5'72-959'D99B99B-7531! it INGLE'S GROCERY SQ The Friendly Super Market Q B02 PEABODY - Phone TU 4-6472 SE 5'HK4'EG6E66EG6EG6-K-C'EG6666E46EC-636 ig GENSEMER'S 1 W mass ws crorafg, ' ave IM .wo ll I raw sivnveli-Hold wnribv F' X Massacre, src. - ' uve' gl' ' . 44 tx .afcwcnzzv J c t 5' :En'n'u n'n'n'n'n'u'n'n n'n'n'i'n'-'-'-'-'-'n'n:- QllllllllllllllllIIlllllllllllIllIllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllg l l 5 5 :: DUBOSE FOOD MARKET 2 MOORE ELECTRIC CO, 2 I- I- 5 Q I, HIGHWAY 9 AT VILLA '. 2 5 :: Phono tu 2-8358 I: 2 605 Old R0b5l0W ' Road 2 YOUR YOUTHFUL FASHION CENTER IN SHELL CENTER :I Dmscou-,S FRIEND 5 Phone Tu 2-9755 E OUT AWAY .....

And with him went a large part of the joy of Christmas. But an' old friend of ours, who looked somewhat like St. Nick himself, gave Santa back to me. Here's what he said: Why, honey. who ever told you there is ino' Santa Claus? When a group of children sing carols, and their soft: voices sing of the Babe in the' manger, if you listen closely you can hear the fai'-off tinkle of sleigh bells. He s nearby.

And when you wake on Christ' coins into the Salvation Army pot, it isn't the make-believe Thank You. lt's his -voice, deep and joyous. When chil- Christmas tree, with laughter and gay trinkets, he stands He is the earth. Wherever mas mo1'n'in'g, with pence and joy in your heart, and love for your fellow- xnan, who can deny that that well-remembered figure has some down your chimney and blessed your house with his presence while you slept? I sensed the truth in this old fr.iend's words, so I searched for Santa Clause. And, to my everlasting joy, I found hint. A little girl, aged three, peeked through a keyhole and spied her long- awaited baby doll and buggy beneath the Christmas tree. She pounded the door with a small fist and cried, Tanty Kause, Tanty Kause, let me in. You can hand me my dolly yourself. A naughty little boy, when told by his mother to behave because Santa was listening, looked up at the chimney and said, lf you are up there, Santa Clause, I wish you'd throw my toys on down here. I'm getting pretty tired of waiting. A dying child celebrated 'Christmas in July, because there wasn't time to wait for the real one. And the whole town joined in with all the decora- tions and celebrations. Many photographers and newsmen were present to record the words of the happy boy for a sympathetic world. And he said, Gee, Santa is making two trips this year, isn't he? A group of school children saved their pennies for months to make Christmas a brighter day for less fortunate children. An elderly bachelor who lived in our ,town had 'forty invitations to spend Christmas day in the homes of kindly friends. And I watched a first grade class put on their Christmas play. Ma1'y Caged sixj proudly rocked the infant Jesus doll in a cradle, and surely the serenity and innocence of her 'face must have been much like th'at which shone on the Virgin Mary's face. Tommy was a wonderful Joseph, even though his nose was slightly skinned from a tricycle-spill the day before. The three little wise menis faces held all the reverence and worship ini the world. And as the faltering voices. sang Silent Night, Holy Night those of us who watched forgot that it was just a first grade play. Suddenly we were back nearly two thousand years ago-where a Babe lay in the manger and a Star burned with a light so bright it illuminated all the world. And Santa Clause was in all these places. If you believe, you can hear his jolly chuckle many times. And your own gay heart will echo Peace on earth, good will to men. 4CECILE BLACKMON.

If he could get the little mistakes and miscues grad- ually worked out in the next couple of games he was sure that they would be ready to take just about anyone in the conference and give them a pretty good time of it. Snuffy Simp- son was awfully glad that Hil1sdale's schedule was arranged so that the games began to get a little harder as the season progressed. This week's games with Carling would be a big- ger test to his team than Blimpton had been and they would have to improve a lot to beat them. Tip dicln't know if coach was satis- fied with their playing, but after the Blimpton contest they had more poise and confidence. In practice they worked the ball around with sharp passing and the offensive formations were becoming smoother and against the second string they seemed to go fine. Although he wasn't sure, he thought that he noticed a faint smile on Snuffy's face during the practice session every once in awhile. After the last practice they all Went whooping and hollering off to the showers in high spirits and con- fident that they could take Carling. In the locker room the kidding and horseplay was more spirited than usual, and when coach came in to give them a short it took awhile for them to simmer down. VVhen they finally settled he said, Now, gang, let's all be in bed by ten tonight, eat a good breakfast and lunch and be sure to get here in time to be dressed and ready in plenty of time. You guys lmow that you are in fine shape and are fit mentally, you can take this game if you play heads-up. You're improving very nicely on your plays and I have confidence that you'11 Win. And with that he strode out of the locker room. The players went on their separate ways in small groups talking and laughing and in much better shape mentally than on the eve of the Blimpton game. The tip-off went to Phil who shot it down the court to Millchick, with a baseball pass, who flipped over to Tommy. Tommy came through with a nice set shot from the comer for the first two points of the game. Carling came right back has their star guard, Jones slipped in a net lay-up. And so it went with the lead seesawing back and forth all through the first quarter and most of the sec- ond. In the latter part of the second quarter Carling pulled away to a sev- en point lead, and that's the way the half ended. In the third quarter Stunlpy laid in a set shot, Slick dropped in one from the corner, Tip put in a jump shot and a hook. Carling countered with a free shot and a basket, but it was in vain for the Hillsdale play- ers were hot and nothing would stop them. Hillsdale built up a 49-37 lead and the second and third strings fin- ished out the game. They had won another game and both coach and players were satisfied, although they knew that it would take more than that given tonight to win some of the garnes they would play later.

Congratulations To Coach Tanner Looks like Coach Tanner got his Christmas present early this year. It was a tiny 6 pound, 13 ounce bun- dle by the name of Paula Kay Tan- ner. Congrats, Pop! The Year Before Christmas 'Twzzs the year before Christmas, When all through the town, Not a jet was stirring, But a T.W.A. was just leaving. The stockings were hung by The chimney with care, In hopes that Daddy Would wake before morning. The children were nestled All squashed in their bed, While visions of algebra Cluttered their sawdust heads. And mom, in her shorties, And I in my P. f.'s, Had just settled down for A long win.ler's nap. When downstairs there Arose such a clutter, I sprang from my bed To tell Daddy to get out of the iceboz. Down to the kitchen I flew Like ti flash, Tore down the door and it Hit Daddy's cabesa. The moon on the breast of the Old melterl snow, Gave lustre to rrzid-day- Although it was still night. When what to my wondering Eyes should appear, But a miniature sleigh with Everything, and the kitchen sink. With iz little old driver So lively and quick, I knew in zz moment-i Gosh! Where's MOM? More rapid than eagles, His coursers they came, And he whistled and shouted, And I can't repeat the words he used. Now Dasher, now Dancer, Now Prancer and Vixen, On Comet, on Cupid, on Donder, And you too, donkey! To the lop of the porch, To the top of the wall, Now dash away, dash away, Oops, how about Rudolph? As I drew in my head, And was turning around, Down the chimney Daddy Came, upside down. He was dressed in his P. I.'s, From his head to his foot, And his beard was not white, But black with the soot. A bundle of toys he had F lung on his back, And he looked like a pedcller, Trying to sell something. His eyes-how they twinkled, His dimples-how merry, His lips were like peddles, Bicycle peddles. His droll little mouth was Drawn up like a bow, And the beard on his chin Needed trimming. The stump of his pipe, He held light in his teeth, QSO Ihafs what happened, To that grapez1ine!j He had a broad face and A little rounrl belly, That shook when he laughed, Hope everyone likes butter! A wink of his eye and A twist of his head, Soon gave me to know, Junior WEREN'T in bed. He spoke not a word, But went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings, Until they almost burped. And laying his finger aside Of his nose, He sneezed and the sneezed until, He found a Kleenez. He sprang to his sleigh, And with that they flew, But I hauerft figured out yet, Just where they got wings. But I heard him ezclaim As he drove out of sight, Merry Christmas to all, Until next year!

But when you see your little sister or brother's eyes light up when they open the present you got them, donit you have a real warm and proud feeling in your heart? And remember last Christmas, when your little three year old cou- sin, Susie, crawled up on your lap and hugged you? Just a little jig- saw puzzle, too, but she really liked it. She even has a few pieces left this year. Remember little Bobby's truck you bought him? He still plays with it, even though the wheels keep falling off. And Mother's apron you worked pretty hard to make that, didn't you? But aren't you paid back time and again, when she wears it, though, when you look at it up close you see a few rag- ged edges? If you make your gifts, do your best, but if you try real hard and it still doesnit look right, don't feel bad. It will be appreciated as much as if you bought it. If you buy presents and your fi- nances are low, don't feel bad. It's not so much the gift, it's the feeling of the giver. A hanky can be appreciated as much as a watch if the feeling is of cincerity and not of 'iobligationf' But really, now, kids, I think you'll have to admit that there's more joy in giving than in receiving. Now, let's all get out and have a Merry Christmas. And-don't forget the real meaning of Christmas! Merry Clnistmas! -Gwen. Miss Sanderson Tells Story Miss Sanderson tells this story about her hometown, Houston, Miss., to her Spanish classes: The civic minded citizens of this small town decided to do something about their shabby courthouse lawn, or court-square. One citizen donated tractors to plow up the ground. An- other citizen donated fertilizer and another grass seed. However, before the grass seed could be planted, the villians came upon the scene. These villians were not particularly terrifying, merely two unidentified farmers, They thought it would be a shame to plant weeds,' on all that beautiful ground. So in the dead of night, they crept out and planted tumip seeds all over the court-square. The angry citizens ranted and ravecl but later some very prominent citizens were seen picking turnip greens on the court-square. The Raining Of The World The most confused people in the world are those with no television. You who have television sets might ask, What authority do you have to make such a statement? My ans- wer, Lot'sI', It so happens that I am one of the few, the very few that have no television. Others who don't have TV probably share my predi- cament of being hopelessly confused every time I get in on the last of a conversation, and sometimes even when I hear the first, For instance, I'll walk over and join a group of girls talking. I'm lost! I just stand and look dumb because I have no idea whether they're talking about a TV program or about some real happening. It use to be that a per- son could go up to a group, listen for a minute, then join in the con- versation. Not anymore - unless you've watched all the latest TV pro- grams. Believe me there are some real disadvantages of not having a tele- sdsion set. Here, let me list a few. By not having a TV you: 1. Take a chance on having your best friend not be your best friend anymore. Example: The other day I got a so-called urgent telephone call. I answered, breathlessly, waiting for Mary to start talking. Then she sobbed out that Corliss and Dexter had broken up. I said how awful, for Corliss was my best frined. Soon as she hung up I naturally thought I had to help spread the news around so I called up a few kids. Anyway, it turned out that Mary had meant the Corliss and Dexter on television, not the Corliss and Dexter I knew. 2. Can't join in conversation with- out feeling dumb. Afraid they might be discussing TV programs. 3. Get more confused on matters that are confusing to start with. Ex- ample: A big algebra test was sched- uled the particular day I'1n speaking of. Second period I saw a group who had already taken the test standing around talking. This, I thought is a break, I can just sneak up and listen to what they're saying about the test so it'll be easy for me next period. I got in just as one was saying: The first one was 6x-y equals 2x plus 100- 3x. It was easy, but I wonder how he ever got the second. one. He went on like that for awhile, in the meantime I was copying it all down. I took the test, happy and con- fident, and Wrote down my copied answers. I failed the test though, and do you know why? All because of that science fiction TV program that gave the formula to build a space ship to go to Mars in. 6x-y equals 2x plus 100-3x, the equation which I thought was the an- swer to my algebra problem, wasn't Those kids werenlt talking about algebra, they were talking about space sihps. Let this sad story be a lesson to you. All you kids with TV sets, get rid of them quick, before you ruin the world. What I Want For Christmas 1. Manuel Cano-A baby rattler. 2.

December 20, 1955 T H E P R A I R I E P R E S S Page 5 what Do You Know About Basketball? Well, it's basketball season again. The boys on our basketball team will soon start practicing for their first game. We're hoping that we'll get the Championship this year. Our boys are pretty keen-maybe they'll make history for the Junior High in Cor- pus Christi. Say! Speaking of history-I won- der how many of you know how basketball was started. Well, I was looking through an encyclopedia to settle a little argument about cats I was having with myself, and I came to a section on basketball. Nat- urally since its basketball season, I read it. This is what I found out: Basketball is unlike football, which, by the way began with the ancient Greeks. It is one of the few sports invented in a certain year for a def- inite purpose, by a definite person. In 1891 James Naismith, an inst.ruc- tor at the Young Men's Christian Association Training School in Springfield, Massaciiusetts started the game. I-Iis sensible reason was this: a sport that could be played indoors during the winter time was needed, when football, baseball, golf, or ten- nis could not be played. Naismith called his new game basketball, because the purpose in the game was to throw a ball into one of the two peach baskets set on op- posite ends of the playing court. Soon the game became popular in the schools, colleges, and athletic clubs all over the United States. Now that l've told you what I found out, I want to ask a favor of you-Get in there and support the Rangers. Mrs. Youngmanis Sixth Period P. E.. Class Mrs. Youngman's 6th period P.

The Rangers were ahead at the end of the first period 14-11, but couldn't hold the lead and it was nip and tuck through the second quarter to the half. The third quarter was the same as the second except that it was little better contested and more even. In to the fourth quarter it went with the score mounting with each basket, and each team matching a basket for a basket. Late in the last quarter Tu- loso-Midway took a small lead and held it for the remainder of the game. The WB played a fine game also. The team was behind at the end of the first quarter, but despite the dis- advantage they came back to chop the lead down. It was a losing cause, for they lost the game finally by the score of 32-31. The next game of the season was with Flotu- Bluff at Flour Bluff. The Rangers were hot and played a fine game. With everyone doing his share of the work in taking the Flour Bluff boys to the cleaners The final score was 38-39 in favor of Driscoll. Sammy Garza was the leading scor- er of the game, followed by Eloy Romero. The BH team won by the score of 15-10. As you can tell this was a very close game for at the end of the first quarter the score was 2-0 in favor of the Rangers. Well, it looks like the Rangers are off to another fine season and we wish them luck as they seek their sixth straight championship. 5 TEMPLE LUMBER CMPANY E ssoz LEOPARD - PHONE TU 4-8861 .IE-............. was I 'tic wi Ei S153 I-5 V: E III-+55 57's rgi Bimftpi vlo I tg O : Magna: -pi 'IE egg -sg E I vl I stso Zi :gig I :tim rio I Kwgg ........ .... . .

One fiction book and one non- fiction book may be taken at one time, or two non-fiction books may be checked out. A student should never have more than two books checked out at one time. 2. Books may be kept out for two weeks and may be renewed for an- other tvvo-week period. A fine of two cents a day will be charged for each day a book is overdue, If the book has been lost the student to which it was checked out should contact the librarian and if it cannot be found will be expected to pay for it. . 3. Fine notices will be issued in order for homeroom teachers to re- mind their students of fines. How- ever, the student is expected at all times to keep up with books charged to him, without having to be re- minded. 4-. A student may -not check out a book for another, nor may a student check out materials for a teacher without at note from the teacher to the librarian. 5. Always put your books back on the shelf if you do not intend to check them out. If you take them from one place and put litem back in another they cannot be found 'or used by anyone else. Even though you may not need that book it may be very important to someone else. 6. If you need to talk, speak in a low voice and do not disturb anyone else. 7. Do not move chairs around or make unnecessary noise. When you leave the library, place your chair in its proper place under the table. 8. When at the desk do not cause unnecessary confusion. Be sure to write your whole name and your homeroom number on the card found in the back of the book, Write legib- ly and be sure the date of return has been stamped in your book. 9. Students should ask the librarian or the student librarians for any spe- cial material needed. They are al- ways ready to help whenever pos- sible. 10. Take care of books which have been entrusted to your care. The money that has to be spent on the repair of library books and equip- ment could be spent on new books for your enjoyment. The Robert Driscoll School library belongs to the students and teach- ers. Obsercing these rules will be of great benefit to you as well as others who use our library.

The A-Capella Choir, under the direction of Miss Jean Seiler, sang 'QI VV onder as I VVander . Reverend Dal- rell Gray, of the Oak Park Methodist Church, was an excellent guest speak- er. The second musical selection of the Choir was Praise the Lord . Mr. Parish closed the program with a benediction. The seventh grade students attend- led the assembly while eighth and ninth grade students enjoyed the pro- gram over the public address system. At future assemblies the older stu- dents will have to work hard to beat those seventh graders' assembly man- ners, Those kids sure can behave like ladies and gentlemen when they want to!

The beginning of a new year is a good time to begin and take interest in things you've never seemed interested in before. Every year millions of people make resolu- tions and every year many people say and really think they'll try to keep them, but somehow, they just never get around to them. Why not, probably for the first time in your life, make and keep your resolutions this year. Resolutions, when they are kept, can help you, and make life more pleasant for people around you. VVhy not make some resolutions for this school, such as: 1. Pay more respect to teachers. 3. Be more conscious of your ap- pearance. 3. Get assigned work in on time. 4-. Obey school rules. Finish these resolutions with your own. If everyone would follow these resolutions and others you make, it would help Driscoll to be a much better school. L '55-'56 Football Jackets Arrive Have you seen some boys with their chests pushed out. It's because they have bought their new football jackets. They are white with purple collars, a purple band around their cuffs, and purple shoulders. Believe it or not girls, they cost plenty. So when your boy friend lends you his, take good care of it. Almost all of them have bought one. This kind of jacket is one of the newest styles. Driscol1's jackets use to be gray with purple, but now they are white. They look real neat with their purple let- ter. We ought to thank Coach Tan- ner for going to the trouble of order- ing these catty new jackets. NOTICE! THERE ARE ONLY A VERY FEW ANNUALS LEFT.

You know, some of you don't know how lucky you really are. You had a nice Christmas and New Year's. You had parties and worshipped in the church of your choice. Many of you went on trips. But do you know that in some countries that children don't even have shoes or enough clothing to keep warm. Those kids don't even have a chance to go to school. They l1HVCHll got the chance to make something out of themselves. We have the advant- age of hundreds and thousands of kids. The teachers aren't here just to earn a living. They're here to try and teach us something. VVl1y do you think we have teachers? Just to make sure we get to school or to make sure who we don't cut up in class? You don't like school it must be because you're always getting into trouble. Or else not making good grades in your school work, But we do have the chance to come and learn, not for our mother or father but for ourselves. Listen! What you learn no one can take away from you, Something may hap- pen to your family or your Dad may die, but no one will ever be able to take away the knowledge you have learned at school. If you quit school right now, do you think you could get a decent job to make a living for yourself? You boys, do you think you could make enough to support a family like your father is doing? Well, I can 'tell you now, you l1aven't got a chance. By the time you get out in the world to support yourself, you won't have half a chance. This world is get- ting hard and tight, why now it's hard to get a good paying job with- out college education. Much less a high school education. What do think it's going to be get to be 18 or 20? around in class, why some of your teachers and buckle down and work. Ann you you fool fool like when So don't don't you Meet the Press This week our personality is Bren- da Cecile Blackmon. A ninth grader who has been on our Prairie Press Staff, this making the second year. Cecile is 15 years old and has green eyes with brown hair and she is 5'4 tall. Cecile has gone to school in four states. They are: Louisiana, Califor- nia, North Carolina, and last but not least Texas. Cecile's telephone number is TU 3-3946. Well, Cecile's going to Miller next year. so let's make her work hard while she's here. Welcome Back To School Well kids, it's back to school again, and I bet you got a lot of gifts you wanted. There's one gift that is given to you that you should think about. I guess you know what I am talking about, that is your school. Do you know how hard it is for any person who didn't finish school to get a job? VVell, you can think of it as trying to find a needle in a haystack. I've talked to a lot of boys who for one reason or another didn't get to finish school. About nine out of ten told me that they wish that they could come back and finish school. You know that if you quit school you will take away a privilege that is given to iust some kids. In other countries some kids are not fortunate in getting a good education. So you should try to make the best of it and not complain about enough holidays. Let's all start the new year off good and I'll bet you will be glad that school is given to you. BUDDY WHEELIS HARDWARE Phone TU 2-7689 IN THE HEART OF SHELL CENTER Always Supplied With Your BEST BUYS 1 Y l fine showing that you gave against Carling. Now our next game with Podee will be a lot tougher than this past game. You're going to have to hustle plenty to win this one. I think you can do it, the students around school and the teachers know you can do it, but the trouble is, do you know you can do it? inquired Coach Simpson. A series of cheers, hand clapping, whistles and whoops showed that they were confident. With spirits running high Coach sent them into the paces of the days practice at a fast tempo, wanting to use their spirit for some- thing useful. After practice and a shower they all felt chipper and al- most half the squad went down to the ice cream parlor just to celebrate. This in itself was a good sign that they were looking forward to the game with Podee. Practice went smoother than it had gone all year with everybody hustling and full of chatter. thus the scrimmage games were closer and better contested. Coach knew that the team was in fine shape both physically and mentally and had no worries concerning the up-coming game with Podee. Podee opened the game in a spurt with four points before the Hills- dale boys could catch their breath. Afterwards they seemed to be pretty well matched, matched basket for basket. The quarter ended that way with the score 20-16, in favor of Podee, In the last of the second quar- ter, with only a minute and a half left and the score reading 32-28 for Podee, the Hillsdale five got hot. Stumpy sunk a long set shot from a position between the free throw cir- cle and the half-court line. A mo- ment later Slick Millehick stole a pass from the Podee forward and dribbled the length of the court, with a man guarding him, passed off to Phil who sunk a lay-up. VVith only ten seconds left Tin blocked a hook shot by the Podee center, picked up the ball, and threw a pass almost three-fourths of the court to Tommy who was running down the side of the court, and he sank a push shot. The half ended with the score tied 32-32. In the last half the teams both played over their heads. They scored with almost every shot.

In the last half the team took a very commanding lead olf,3-'I'-15 and tlirougli the last quarter the Hangers out-played and outi-scored Baker. The game wound up with Driscoll leading the Baker boys fl'2-2fl- in a very satisfactory win. High. point man for Baker was Dick Rolierts with eight points, and for Driscoll was Sammy Garza with seven points. The B team played a very Close game with Balier's UB team for the score at. the end ol' the first quarter was 2-2 and at: the end of the half the score was 6-6. To further prove this game a close one is that the score was still tied at 12-I2 at the end of the third qiiartzer, Finally, after having the lead see-saw hack and forth 'between the teams, Driscoll wound up on the long end of the I5-15 score.

With oth- er members of T.A.L.A. from all parts of Texas, El Libro members stayed at the Hotel Texas in Fort Worth. Betty Cavanna, famous au- thor of books written especially for teen-agers, was guest speaker at the luncheon and final day of the con- vention. Members who attended the convention say that it was a never- to-be-forgotten experience, and they are looking forward to attending this year's convention which will be held in Waco in February. On November 5, over 200 mem- bers of T.A.L.A. from fifteen dif- ferent schools were the guests of Aransas Pass High School for a day. The entertainment began with a wel- come by Mayor Pat Kendel of Aran- sas Pass, followed by amateur ma- gician entertainment from Aransas Pass schools. Then the Aransas Pass Library Chapter sponsored a treas- ure hunt and picnic at Port Aransas. Brass figure fours provided clues in the treasure hunt, which was cli- maxed by the discovery of the treas- ure -an old sea chest containing sea shell souvenirs for all the participants. Just before Christmas, two mem- bers, Linda Smith ,and Ellen Mc- Caughn, attended an open house given by the library club at Baker Jr. High School for the other Corpus Christi T.A.L.A. groups. El Libro members and Miss Jack- son held their Christmas party the week before Christmas. After dinner at the Chicken Shack, an evening of games and refreshments was held at the home of Janice Pulliam. On January 6, a business meeting, attended by Miss Jackson and El Libro members, was held at the home of Cecile Blackmon. The meeting was called to make plans for a forth.- coming talent show. In order to raise money for the trip to the Waco con- vention, El Libro hopes to present a talent show by and for Driscoll stu- dents in the near future. Members of E1 Libro are very en- thusiastic about the guidance and leadership of their sponsor, Miss Jack- son. They feel that the amazing suc- cess of their club can be credited to her.

Cappi Adams STAFF STU TTERS FROM THE ASSISTANT EDITOH'S DESK '... , Foruthe past few weeks, campaigning for the officers of the Student Council has been fast and furious. At least twice a day you've probably been confronted with someone running for an office or one of their friends, either giving you a short campaign speech or a card saying, Mary for President. In fact there's been so much controversy about all the candi- dates you're wondering who to vote for. Say Mary and Joe are both running for President. Mary was cute, and real popular, but wasn't very efficient. On the other hand. Joe worked hard and was smart. Although he didn't run around with the popular kids, everyone who knew him, liked him. Lots of kids voted for Mary, just because she was cute and popular, even though Joe would have made a much better president. In another instance your best friend might be running for secretary. Even though the candidate running still voted for your friend. Remember this: THINK! I.et's against her was better qualified, you elect officers for their integrity, hon- esty, ability, and willingness to work to help make Driscoll the best school in the city. -Pirzina South Texas Student Activities Conf.

She's 15 years old and has short black hair and brown eyes. She goes steady with Julian Garza. Her phone number is TU 2-4-439. She lives at 4-20 Mohawk and has lived in Corpus three and one half years. She enjoys playing and collecting rccords. We hear she has quite a col- lection. Congrats, Minerva! they had played against Podee. He knew that if the team would sharpen up on third defense that there wasn't a team in the conference that could beat them. He had the best shot in the league in the league in Stumpy and Tip was the possessor of one of the smoothest and most dependable he had ever seen. Also Tip, Slick, Stumpy, and Tommy were all among the top ten scorers in the league. As the season wore on the team seemed to improve more and more. The games with Suncleft, Hoefield, Norkton, Plakenton, and Oxford were fairly easy. The first string played about three-fourths of the first quar- ter and the second string and subs finished out the game, in fact the second string out scored the varsity in almost every game. The practices the week after the Oxford game a little heavier than usual. The VVCVC team th ey com - was in very high spirits and were in very good shape. The ing game with Cypress was to be a very closely contested affair. Coach Simpson was very pleased with their over-all playing. He knew that they were mentally set and physically able and that they were the better team, but he also know that Cypress would be up for this game and he also knew that the Cy- press coach was a stinker. The Cy- press coach was sure to have a trick up his sleeve and he had no idea what to prepare for. So, the only course to take was to keep his team at the peak of shape, both physically and 'men- tally and hope that their superior stamina would whip Cypress. fTo be continuedj Meet The Press This week I finally made my way to Beverly Couch who has been on the staff this making the second year.

After-Midnight Party Most teachers around Driscoll are not in the habit of receiving visitors around 3:00 A.M. But most 'teachers don't include Mr. and Mrs. Boney. It seems that Mrs. Boney mailed a warning slip to Mrs. Bennett, about Glenda, as a big joke, and for her conference period put 3:00 A.M. Of course Glenda took it seriously and decided she had better get it straight -so she gathered a group of girls in her fifth period P.E. class for com- pany. They met for a slumber party at .Judy lVIcNeil's house at about 7:30. So they could be sure and get Mrs. Boney's address right, they looked it up in last year's student directory. Since Bobo Beynon and Charlie Noack happened to be hanging around Cyou might have knownj, they went along for the ride with about seven girls. Soon as they came to the right house Cor so they thoughtj, they ran up and rang the doorbell and er . . . ah . . . Well, anyway, the Boney's have moved since last year's student direc- tory came out. Cl'0Sl..f?lllCIT, but not defeated, they found a VVlli'tl,i1lJ1.U'gEl' stand witl1 someone in it, and used a telephone directory, Cthis year'sj to find the Boney's. present address, which they finally found, but not without Char- lie Noack's help.

Both games were close and well contested. Ranger The first game between the B and the Cunningham B was a at the 5-1, in second -very good game. The score end of the first quarter was favor of the Rangers. The quarter ended also in favor of Dris- coll. At this point the tide turned. From then on it was all Cunningham. In the third quarter Driscoll didn't score a point and the quarter ended with the score 17-9 for Cunningham. Driscoll outscored the opposition in the last quarter but the rally was in vain for the final score was Dris- coll 17 and Cunningham 23. The second game was even closer contested and more evenly played. The first quarter was very close and the score at the end of the period was six-five in the Rangers favor. The second quarter apparently ended in a 12-12 tie but there was amis- take in the scoring and it was 12-11 in favor of Cunningham. The sec- ond half was really a dog fight. The score see-sawed back and forth and at the end of the third quarter was 28-25 in favor of Cunningham. The battle was iust getting underway in the fourth quarter, with the Rangers behind they started to edge up to- ward the lead. Although they lost 37-34, all agreed that the teams were very evenly matched and were sat- isfied, that is, everyone except the Driscoll fans.

They directed the annual magazine sale and assist- cd the Cheer Leaders in developing school spirit during the football and basketball season. But -even more than these they have worked hard in assist- ing in promoting slchool morale and loyalty throughout their term of of- fice. Our hats are off to Beverly Couch, your President, David Irving, your Vice-President, and to Cevile and Boho, your Secretary and Treas- urer. for a magnificent job of lead- ership. Also we wish to congratulate Elizabeth Weblm and Bob Finke for their part in this program as Par- liamcntarian and Sergeant-at-Arms. Mrs. Teeny Adkins, Student Coun- cil sponsor, was very enthusiastic about the accomplishments of the Council. Experienced officers were a great help in making our work run smooth- ly last: semester, said Mrs. Adkins. One of the reasons for the success of the Council was the fact that three of the officers attended the workshop last semester. The knowledge and ex- pc-ricnce they gained in Student Coun- cil work was invaluable to them in their positions as officers. I feel that this year's Student Council should receive special credit: for their untiring efforts in compiling the student directory. It is the largest we have ever put out and wc had a smaller number of people to work on it than ever before. Our parliamentary procedure was much improved because this year the Council had more material available from which to study. This Student Council did more work and had less entcrlaininent than any other, The Christmas. party was the chief entertainment the Council had. Due to the efforts of the Treasurer and his committee members and the cooperation of the whole Council, the finance proiects went well. Mrs. Adkins went on to say that she is not satisfied with the present ill'l'Hl'lgPlll0lll of one representative from two rooms, hut that it is a Inat- ter of l'lCL'GSSllZy. One good result of this arrangement, said Nlrs. Ad- kins, is that ihc committee's are smaller and therefore more efficient. This somoster's Student Council has been a pleasure to work with, and we are looking forward to a busy future. tudent Council End Acti e Seme ter STUDENT COUNCIL EVALUATES ACTIVITIES OF FIRST SEMESTER Even before school started this year the officers of the past semestefs Stu- dent Council were hard at work. They were preparing the slightly re- vised handbook for the students new to our school. Immediately following this, the officers and new student council representatives began work on the student directories, which con- tained more than 1500 names, ad- dresses, and telephone numbers. Al- though the Student Council was small this year, the directories were out in record time. An important and continuous pro- ject is the devotional work carried on for the second year by the Student Council. Each Monday morning some homeroom gives a devotional. Occasionally the Student Council members present the devotional them- selves and on special holidays they sponsor a special religious assembly, At Thanksgiving the speaker was Rabbi VVolfe of Temple Beth El and Student Body Elect Officers For 21141 Semester The Robert Driscoll Jr, High stu- dent body elected, their second semes- ter officers Monclay, January 16.

We hcife that all the new officers succeed in doing their Ncjob well. ' at Christmas, Reverend Gray of Oak Park Methodist Church was the guest speaker. Beth Hall was chairman of the committee in charge of the devo- tionals. During the first semester plans were made to completely revise the student handbook for next year, in- cluding redesigning the cover. The constitution also got a complete ex- amination and several amendments will probably be coming up before the student body in the next semester. Bob Finke was chairman of the con- stitution committee and David Irving was in, charge of the handbook com- mittee. At Thanksgiving the civil Welfare collected and delivered seven baskets of food to needy families in the area. At Christmas the homerooms collected food and delivered it themselves. However, the Student .Council deliv- ered four of the baskets for home- rooms which had no way to do so. The courtesy committee sent cards, flowers, plants, and gifts to faculty members and students who were ill. Sharon Belcher. was chairman of the civic Welfare committee, and Maria Garcia directed the work of the cour- tesy committee.

Bobo Beynon, treasurer, direct- ed the work of the finance committee. The success of many of the pro- jects and the fine school spirit are largely due to the publicity of the literary corrunittee. The literary com- mittee was resuonsible for all the post- ers and Pulilic Address announce- ments needed. Carey Griffin was head of this committee. The Student Council 'is sponsoring a contest for the homeroom with. the most beautiful garden. The gardening committee has dug up approximately twelve gardens this first semester. This committee also worked on the Thanksgiving and Christmas decora- tions. Jack Pratt was chairman of the gardening committee. h Besides assisting Mi's.

Have you heard remarks like this running down the halls? I have. I hope it wasn't you that said it. If you did slip up and make an R on your report card, you sliouldn't feel like the world's coming to an end. Still, you certainly should not have that I don't care feeling. If you did make an R, by golly, you should get out and at least try to make up for it. We have just started a new nine week period, a new semester. Now is your chance to 'make up for any bad grade you have made. Don't put it off until the next nine weeks, do it now.

Gwen and Betty Sue ll! if if GETTING ALONG WITH PEOPLE One of the biggest iobs we have is learning how to get along with people. If you are unable to cooperate and get along you are in a pretty bad shape. Getting along with people is more than just being a yes-man or letting people walk over you. It means treating others like you would like to be treated. Nothing turns a friend into a foe as much as belittling. Often it isnit what we say but how we say it which angers people. It is just as easy to say t'Will you as You will! People would much rather be asked than ordered, even though you have the authority to order them. Too, we need to know how to smile. A friendly, genuine smile has more charm than all the makeup in a drug store. We can't get away from people so let's learn to get along with them. We must be friends to have friends.

This game would probably decide the championship of the conference. During the first quarter Coach Simpson found out what kind of trick the Cypress coach had up his sleeve, much to his regret. They were using a daring defense, with the forwards and guards going after the ball and their center guarding Tip like glue. The trouble was the defense was working and at the end of the first quarter the score was Cypress 20, Hillsdale, 8. The second quarter turned out the same way and the first half ended with Cypress leading 34-24-. But Snuffy fired them up to a fighting pitch. They came out with fire in their eyes and finally pulled the game out with a last ditch stand. The final score was Hillsdale 56. Cy- press 53. This just about sewed up the championship although they had another close shave with Slunkerlop by a score of -'1-9-41-7. The State Championship would be coming up in a month and the last game of the season was coming up with Lineingford this week and that would leave over three weeks of prac- tice for the tournament. The Line- ingford game was won with Hills- dale winning hy a score of 45-39, while the second and third string played most of the game. Coach had no thoughts one way or t.he other than to win or lose, He had high hopes for his team but wouldn't be too disappointed if they lost. CTO be continuedj UCC Basketball Tournament Driscoll's Rangers played North- side in the first round of the tour- nament Nfonday January 16, at Me- morial Auditorium. The Rangers won by a score of 34-25 in a game that was very finely played as all the tour- nament games were. High point man for Driscoll was Melisio Garza who scored six out of Driscoll's first eight points and wound up with ten points. High point for Northside was Homer Nlascorro with 12. The second round of the tourna- ment in which Driscoll played was against Baker on Tuesday at 4:00 o'cIock in the afternoon. The final score of this wild affair that finally ended with Driscoll on top was 30-27. At the half the Rangers were ahead by a '19-I0 score, But the second half was a different story. Baker came back with a valiant surge that was hopeless. Leading scorer for Driscoll was Sammy Garza with. ten points. Dropping in the most points for Baker was Richard Cook, with 15. The final round of the tournament was played Tuesday night after Dris- coll had defeated Baker and Cunning- ham defeated Sundeen. This was real- ly a rough and tumble game. It was a losing cause since the Rangers lost the game by a 46-33 score. Driscoll pulled up to within six points of Cunningham, only to fall behind to never catch up. Cunninghanfs big center, Lee Fant sacked in seventeen points to lead the scoring for the Cogars and th.e game. High point man for Driscoll was Billy Howell with twelve points.

They were leading 9-7 in the first quarter, and kept their lead at half time 16-15. During the third quarter it was a nip and tuck affair with the Hurricanes again coming through, and leading at the end of the quarter 20-19. The fourth quarter was really a thrilling one.

Mr. Brunoff To Direct Festival This week we're interested in the Driscoll Stringed Orchestra. It's split up into three different periods: first, second, and third, all meeting for class in Room 6. The first and second pe- riods are the MAB Orchestra and third period the beginning orchestra. Mrs. Anita Gaedcke teaches and directs all of them, -Each orchestra period has it's own officers, elected at mid-term and have a disciplinary system set up. The offi- cers for first period are: President, Pinina Norrod, Vice President, San- dra McLeod, Secretary-Treasurer, Sandra Cornet. Walter Gernandt is the President for third period, Robert Wells the Vice President, and Ruben Acuna, Secretary-Treasurer. Next week starts the grind with extra rehearsals to get ready for pro- grams coming up. Approximately 80 persons will be attending these re- hearsals. Twenty-one of these students will be wind instruments from the Driscoll band, the others the stringed orchestra. The programs mentioned previous- ly will start with the coming Music Festival in March. Some students who are studying strings plan to be judged on solos. Later in the festival the complete orchestra will play for a group of judges. A P.T.A. program is planned for April. The last con- cert will be the Spring Concert in May. The orchestra will also be pre- sented at other programs that can be arranged. The orchestra is really looking for- ward to a visit from Mr. Brunoff, the assistant director of the Dallas Sym- phony. Mr. Brunoff is going to be in Corpus Christi for the Music Festival in March and will listen to and direct the various orchestras in the city. I-Ie was here several years ago and was greatly appreciated. Mr. Brunoff will help the orchestra to approach new goals. The orchestra has worked hard this year and we'll expect to hear more from them.

Off Society Editor's Desk Oh, Oh! My billfoldls' missing! . Someone took my P. E. shorts! Oh, dear! I just can't find my lunch money! Boys and girls this is just some of the many, many, things that happen all the time. Someone just shall we say borrows cer- tain things that don't belong to us. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to trust everyone at school? Or do you like going around and not believing anyone at school? Once I talked to a young lady over at another school. She was in her homeroom and started to leave. Some one said, Don't forget your billfoldf! CWell, kids, do you know what she said?4j Don't worry, no one in here would take anything that wasnlt theirs. It is really and truly wonderful to be able to say that and know for sure that it's true. It really hurts to go to your locker and find your lunch money or something else that is of value to you, gone. It not only hurts but it makes you angry, very angry. I'm sure, quite sure, you wouldnlt like it if someone took a notion to latch on to some- thing of yours. Why not put yourself in the other fellow's shoes. Stop and think, '1Would I like that to happen to me? If only more people all over the world would do that, I believe, weid have a pretty different world today. There most likely would be less teen-agers in trouble with the law. You canlt break an old horse of tricks he did long ago and the same goes for humans. If you do little things while you're young. what will you do, when you're older????? -Ann. 'Y 1 'f r Ugh! Oh! Whew! Made it. Is this what you hear while walking down the halls? Most of the students here at Driscoll don't seem to realize that this year at Driscoll we are providing class rooms built for only about half the 1590 students at Driscoll. Due to the forced crowdiness at Driscoll we have tried to make the best of this and provide each and every individual student with his or her own locker. This has only added to the confusion in the halls because many extra lockers have been added to every hall. The Administration has put a lot of their time in trying to help solve this problebm. A way this problem has been helped is by having different passing periods for the boys and girls before and after school. None of us help the matter any by pushing and shoving so we can be the first to our next class. We all have ample time to go to and from our lockers and on to our next classes without pushing and shoving. So next time we want to push or shove while walking down the halls just stop and think that manners show in the halls, too. Remember! Consideration pays. -Beverly. The competition would be tough and would bear down on every play every second of the game. The first round of the State Tournament would be played Tuesday, starting at ll p.m. The Hillsdale team had drawn a bye. This enabled them to get an extra dayls practice. Coach Simpson was thankful for this, for in the last game with Lineingford the second and third stringers had played most of the game and the regulars had become a little ragged on their shooting. The team spent the whole last practice shoot- ing. They left late Tuesday afternoon and arrived late that night at Cen- tral City where the tournament was being held. The first game played Weclnesday was with the home team, Central City. The game was a closely played contest all 'through the third quar- ters, then as the fourth quarter ap- proached, as in so many games be- fore, Hillsdalels stamina and endur- ance began to tell. The game WOUI15! up with Hillsdale winning by a score of 57-49. .The second game with Banning was an entirely different story. The Ban- ning team was ahead all during the game, although never ahead. more than two or three points, they were always in the lead. Finally in the middle of the fourth quarter Hills- dale got within one point of the leafl- Then Tip sank a hook shot. Stumpy stole the ball and went all the Way in for a lay-up. Moments later Tommy sank a shot from the corner. Then Banning countered with. two free throws. To set this Slick sank a jump shot and a free throw awarded him when he was fouled. by a Ban- ning guard while he was shooting. The final! The game for the State Championship! Hillsdale was rated as an underdog as they were playing Enter-Falls from up state. The game was a repeat performance of last night's game for Hillsdale. That is as far as the first half. 'ldien Tip, Tommy, and Stumpy began to get hot, they sank shots from all over the court and were demons on defense. As the last of the fourth quarter Hillsdale pulled ahead by a socre of 65-58. This won the game. A few moments later it was all over and they were the State Champs. THE END. HOLLIS-NEESE A U T O P A R T S ALL ORDERS GIVEN PROMPT ATTENTION Ph.

The game was played at Ray gym against Wynn Seale. Driscoll's Rangers took an early lead of 26-8 in the first quarter and were never headed. At hall'-time the score was 34-10 with the Rangers on the long end of the large score. In the third quarter the game continued to he a runaway, and ended up with Driscoll ahead by a 47-15 score. The game ended finally with the Rangers winning 59-20. High-pointman for Driscoll was Sammy Garza with 13 points. Driscoll's B team lost their game by a score of 29-27 in a very close game. High-point men for Driscoll were Joe Vega, Charles Johnston and Mauro Quintella all with six points. The Ranger's game with the Cun- ningham Cougars was their second and last loss of the season, both to the Cougars. The score at the end of the first quarter was 12-11 in favor of the Cunningham boys.

A Hearty Thank You To The Student Council The Ranger baseball team really does appreciate the uniforms which the Student Council so generously awarded them. The uniforms were bought with the proceeds from the Queen's Contest which was held re- cently. The uniforms are being bought by Coach Nicol for the play- ers. These suits should really bright- en up the looks of the team which previously had no uniforms. This also should perk up the attendance of the games since some of you Driscoll cats haven't been attending the games. The Student Council, while decid- ing whether to buy the uniforms, took a vote and approaved the purchase. It is said that the Student Council will purchase twenty uniforms. Not more than one or two other junior high teams have uniforms, the addition should put Driscoll right at the top in looks as they are al- already Winning their share in ath- letics. The Rangers want to express their sincere appreciation to Mrs. Atkins and the members of the Student Council, as well as to the people who participated in the Queen's Contest, for making it possible to have uni- forms for the baseball team. ueen's Race Ends, Crowning March 13 On March 13, the Queen of Robert Driscoll and her escort will reign over a coronation at Roy Miller Gym.

Clang! Clang! All of you should be familiar with that sound. It's a fire drill. According to our record you have been doing this since you were in the first grade. But still, some of you, after seven, eight, or nine years don't go out correctly. Have you ever stopped to think what would happen if there was a real fire. We probably wouldn't be out of the building without somebody getting hurt or killed. Still some of you are not satisfied with going out like first graders, you have to turn out false alarms. So remember at our next fire drill, go out like you should. After all, you're almost adults. It ought to embarass you to have a teacher tell you to be quiet, or stand still in line. We will be expecting you to go out like ladies and gentlemen at our next fire drill. -The Staff if li lk LOYALTY According to the dictionary, Uloyalty means a state of being faithful or constant. And yet, to most of us, it means that and a great deal more. It means never failing or letting a person down. And sticking together, even when the going gets rough. It means putting someone else's wishes above our own and not asking L'VVhy? It means pride-the pride of knowing that you have proved yourself faithful and dependable and have taken one more step toward maturity. There are times when we are tempted to abandon it altogether and return to the ways of childhood. But in the scheme of things we are a child only once. We have to grow up. And in this age of growing up, how much smoother the road will be if we learn loyalty now-to our parents, friends. and our school and it's faculty. Ask yourself Have I learned the quality of loyalty? Yes? Then walk with pride-you are well along that road. -Cecile Meet the Press This week we are introducing Betty Mull, our Business Manager. Betty is 141 years old, 5'6M, tall and she lives at 517 Villa Drive. She's a real cute blonde, and in case any of you boys want to know her phone number it's TU 2-3468. Betty attended Savage Elementary School before she came to Robert Driscoll and has gone to no other school. We are really proud of the work she is doing. Without A Rhyme What's a car without a wheel, that's Duff without Creel. What's a devil without a demon, that's Glenda without Leland. What's Tutti without Frutti, 'that's Charlie without Trudy.

DRM HOLLIS-NEESE a A U T 0 P A R T S Barq S ALL ORDERS GIVEN , PROMPT ATTENTION -'IT S GOOD Ph. TU 3-8595 - Shell Center Parents Only By David Irving The average adult thinks that send- ing chilclren to school is a waste of time. One of the loudest complaints comes from parents whose children are not top-notch spellers. Kids today just can't spell like we did in the good old days. But we can. And we do. In fact, children spell almost 1001, better now than say, during the Civil War. For example - Every year, mil- lions of kids from the lst through 8th grades enter the National Spelling Bee and spell words like tintinnabu- lation, chrysanthemum, hieroglypbics, and antidigestablishmentarianism, On the other hand, a Ford Motor Co. official checking applications for a job witl1 that company Capplicant must be over 305 found 123 variations of the word manager. In case you still don't believe that today's youngsters spell better than their forefathers, read further. In most letters written by soldiers during the Civil Wa1', half the Words were either slightly or horribly mis- spelled. uThe people hear, wrote one, are as stuped a lot as I hev evver sene. In another case a boy of 18 write I dont no wen I'll be bac, but the war is allmost over and or side is winnin all the battelsf' See? We can spell today just as well as you did in the 'fgood old days and I hope this prooves it. I-Iahl Punny Phrases STOP-what Driscollites wish school would do. LOOK-at Blanche Duff and Gerald Creel.

Continue with the article.j The purpose of a class is to assem- ble a group of young people for adultsj depending on the type of class and the purpose of the class that is, what the class is assembled for the purpose of studying together for the purpose of studying the par- ticular subject in question. Said sub- ject should be given the full atten- tion of said group of young people or adults still depending on aforesaid subject! Therefore said group of young people or adults should give their full attention and complete de- votion to the purpose of examining and dissecting the aforesaid subject in question. Any deviation from the pattern set forth here in should be regarded as a breech of good conduct and there- fore treated as such by the person or persons thereafter referred to as 'Linst1'uctor j and are intrusted with the responsibility of supervising or- ganized and complete study and ev- erything concerning said subject that it is possible for said group on ques- tion to learn under the particular cir- cumstances prevailing at the time of dissection and examination, the sub- ject in question, and in addition, with the responsibility of maintaining in the class room for place of study if site of study and dissection is not a classroomj complete order, said or- der being maintained at discretion of the instructor of said group. Each person of aforementioned group has their irrespective and irre- vocable idiosyncrasies which are ab- solutely irrefutable. However, if the aforementioned class, which as we said is assembled for the purpose of examining and dissecting the sub- ject in question is to successfully and fully as certain and discover all nec- essary information concerning said subject which it has been assigned to seek out and as certain the so-called instructor should endeavor at all times to maintain absolute dilligence on the part of all concerned. There- fore, in order to maintain the qui- poise of the class completely and at all times at which study and dissec- tion of aforementioned subject in question Cwhich the class is assemb- led for the purpose of studying is tak- ing placel these said idiosyncracies should be quelled. at all costs, In other words, the guy for dollj Cor old bat, bag, hat, dragon, dragon- ess, etc. etcj in charge shouIdn't let none of those bums talk, have spit- wad or rubber band wars, dismantle buildings, or in any way disturb those of the class that are trying to study, if any. ONE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTIQN Now THE PRAIRIE Puass Asks The Prairie Press Staff has taken a poll to find out what Robert Dris- coll students would do if someone gave them a million dollars for Christmas. We got some very sur- prising answers. Glenda Bennett is a generous pal. She's going to give it all to charity except for a little to send herself and her brother and sisters to college. Smart girl, Glenda. Alonzo Cueller wants to spend his money like this: First he'll take a tour of our national parks and monuments, Then he's off to Egypt to see the old records and mummies they've dug out of the Pyramids. Then he'll go to Spain to see some Nloorish architecture. After he re- turns home he plans to buy a new car and a geiger counter and go pros- pecting in the desert. After all this hard work Alonzo will, of course, buy a new house and retire. Catherine Pressley would make history more interesting by going to all those places she reads about in class. Carolyn Thomas will have a large, blue tile swimming pool and a room equipped with ping-pong tables, shuf- fleboard, juke box, soda fountain, etc. VVayne McGee is going into the lumber business with S1,000,000. Thatis doing it in style! Leonard Shelton is going to buy enough annuals to make a thousand so we can all have FREE plastic covers for those beautiful white an- nuals. If he doesn't get 31,000,000 for Christmas we'll just have to buy them ourselves. CMrs. Adams, Room 20.1 Johnny Gillis is going to tour the Carribean Sea and Scotland. Then he'll settle down to be a gentleman farmer in Wyoming. With a million dollars that should be a big farm. James .Peterson will take his money in pennies. Heis going to put them in a swimming pool and go swimming every day. Ronnie Johnson is going to buy a pinball machine, five hamburgers, a case of cokes, get a hundred dollars worth of nickels, and have a good time. Sandy Smith's plans went some- cafeteria would feature T-bone steaks for 250, malts and milk shakes, and a juke box for the students. Yes, that's what we want to know, Hey, San- dy, can we come to your school? Harold Jordan says if anything goes wrong he'll buy a building about as tall as the Wilson Tower and jump off. David Irving figures the govern- ment will take it all for taxes. Joe Vickers will spend it quick. Then he'll get a tin cup and start' all over again. Well, if you think some of these are silly, just what would you do with S1,000,000? Lynn Martin is going to crawl up on a real tall building and throw small, coins down and watch us grab 'em. Hey, here I am over here! JGKES The sergeant of a new company of recruits stuck his head in the bar- racks. Any of you guys good at short- hand? Four men stepped forward. O. K., snapped the sergeant. Re- port to the mess hall right away- they're short-handed. Miss Pharr asked her class to write an essay on geese, this paper was turned in by an eight year old miss. Geese is a low, heavy set bird which is most meat and feathers. His head sits on one end and he sits on the other. Geese can't sing much on account of the dampness of the mois- ture. He ain't got no between-his toes and he's got a balloon in his stummick to keep him from sinking. Some geese when they get big has curls on their tails and is called ganders.

ALEXANDER Dr. VVillian1 I-I. Alexander, Pas- tor of the First Christian Church of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, spoke to approximately 1600 members of the Texas Association of Student Coun- cils at their convention held in Mid- land, Texas, March lst, 2nd, and 3rd, Dr. Alexander told the members of T. A. S. C. that, in his opinion, youth is the hope of the world, and that without properly trained youth, the world is doomed to destruction. This was one of the highlights of the convention attended by Mrs. Teeny Adkins, Student Council sponsor, and four members of Robert Driscoll Jr. High School Student Council. Chosen by vote of the Council members, those attending from Driscoll were David Irving, Bobo Beynon, Cecile Blackmon, and Claud Ellen Hill. Stopping en route to spend the night in San Angelo, local delegates arrived in Midland before noon on Nlarch 1, Since hotels in Midland could not accommodate all the dele- gates to the convention most of them were guests in private homes during their stay there. A special taxi service was supplied the delegates by Mid- land high school students, who had their cars available at all times to take out-of-town delegates to their various destinations. The theme of this year's T.A.S.C. convention was Life-A Matter of Choice. After registration, T.A.S.C. members were given a free pass to a movie, and then were invited to attend an Open House at the Mid- land Youth Center. At the opening general session in the auditorium, a group picture was taken of all delegates attending the convention. The principal address at this session was Life-A Matter of Choice given bv Tom Henry Guin. President of T.A,S,C. Dr. Alexander delivered his ad- dress at the second general session. which began at 9:00 a.m. March 2 T.A.S.C. members attended discus- sion groups of their choice through- out the convention. Typical discus- sion group suhiects were: 'KHow can the Student Council promote an ef- fective traffic safety program in the secondary schools? and In what way may students not on the Coun- cil be included in the Student Coun- cil's program? At 5:30 p.m. convention delegates IN MIDL enjoyed a barbecue and political ral- ly, in which schools competing for office campaigned. The evening's entertainment included a semi-formal dance in the Crystal Ballroom of the Scharbaurer Hotel and an informal party at the Miclland Youth Center. At the third and final general ses- sion on Saturday, March 3, those schools winning office for 1956-57 were announced. Ray High School of this city was elected to the office of Vice-President of T.A.S.C. for the coming year. At 'the end of this ses- sion, the delegates, with hands clasped in friendship, sang Auld Lang Syne and then bid their friends goodbye and headed home- ward. The T.A.S.C. convention this year was considered by the Driscoll Jr. High delegates to be a complete success. Class Honored By George T'Sing George T'Sing, a Chinese boy who is a history major at Baylor Univer- sity spoke to Mrs. Adam's fourth and fifth period classes about his trip around the world. Since George is from Formosa we were glad to get 'first hand information on the For- mosa situation. George was raised in China and the United States. His father was a general under Chiang Kai Check for a few years and work- ed in the Chinese Nationalist Govern- ment for several years. He came to America by a freight boat a year ago. George has one sister who is teaching schcol in Singapore, China. His fath- er and mother live in Singapore where his father is the editor of the local newspaper.

This collection, started by Dr. Armstrong of Baylor University, contains the works, furniture, paint- ings, personal belongings, etc., of Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Brown- ing. El Libro members of Robert Driscoll Jr. High School who were present were fortunate enough to meet Mrs. Armstrong, wife of the late Dr. Armstrong, in person and gain many sidelights on the collec- tion not included in the regular tour. On Thursday, February 23, 1956 Miss Jackson, librarian, and five members of El Libro CRobert Dris- coll library clubj left for Waco by chartered bus to attend the state con- vention of Teen-Age Library Asso- ciation members. Approximately 50 members from local schools attend- ed the convention. In Waco, convention delegates were housed in the Roosevelt and Raleigh hotels. They registered for the con- vention Friday, February 24, and the first general session was held at 2:15 p.m. in the ballroom of the Roosevelt Hotel. At this session, the delegates were welcomed by E. N. Dennard, Superintendent of Waco Public Schools, Thomas L. Ware, Principal of Waco High School, and Barbara Brown, Vice-President of the Waco High School Chapter of T.A. L.A. The program theme was Li- braries: Past, Present, Future , and was the story of libraries dramatized by representatives from various schools. Past was the story of the first libraries, including Egyptian libraries and those in old monasteries. Present were enacted by little green book-worms showing the acl- vantages of O111' modern libraries. Future , depicting libraries of the future, very humorously envisioned, a time when instead of reading a book, one will just take a capsule and absorb the knowledge contained in the book. At 6:00 p.m. delegates were treated to a supper in the Waco High School cafeteria, served by the Home-making classes.

In times of disaster such as storms, hurricanes, or earth- quakes, the Junior Red Cross will use this special committee to help the adults of the regular Red Cross. In case of disaster you may be called upon to help people who might be caught in a storm tif that's the casej or to deliver food to people in disaster places. Your Junior Red Cross representa- tives of your homeroom is issuing forms, that you will fill, if your qualifications are right. The qualifi- cations are: If you have a license to drive a car, or you have a bicycle, or have a Junior Red Cross card, or a first aid card, Really the Red Cross is a great organization and something you and I should be grateful for in case we were in trouble. Miss Campbell is a good sponsor and anybody who is a member of the Driscoll Junior Red Cross should be proud of it, as we are. Officers of Junior Red Cross are the following: President, Ann Lewis Vice-President, Zoe Wilson Secretary, Sherry Walden Treasurer, Sherry Walden Reporter, Joe Stems Nlrs. Tina Florey, who has often helped Miss Campbell, our sponsor of Red Cross, is the director of all Jun- ior High Red Cross organizations.

It is a running record of school history. It encourages worthy activities. It fosters school unity and kindles the spirit of cooperation. It is an aid in practical education. It keeps students posted regarding clubs, social, athletic, and other events. Only 100 Years Ago There was not a public library in the United States. Almost all furniture was imported from England.

This program, whiclI will also feature the Boy's Quartet, is one of several activi- ties the Robert Driscoll Junior High School Student Council is preparing to launch. On April 17, the Robert Driscoll Junior High Student Council will be host to the April meeting of the All- City Student Council. This meeting was originally scheduled for April 10, but was posponed because of a gen- eral faculty meeting, Gwen Kennedy of Miller High School will preside. Regular representatives of the host school are Bobo Beynon, Cecile Black- mon, Elizabeth Webb, and Beverly Couch, who is now serving as secre- tary of All-City Council. The entire host council will be invited to attend this meeting. Other upcoming activities are the regular fall election of Student Coun- cil officers for next year and the dis- trict convention of the South Texas Association of Student Councils. The district convention will be held April 7 at Martin High School in Laredo, Texas. It is the second meeting of the Association this year. The previous meeting was attended by approxi- Inately 30 members of the Robert Driscoll Student Council. All mem- bers will have an opportunity to at- tend tho spring meeting by chartered bus. The election of Student Council officers for next year will take place around the last of April. All eighth grade students interested in running for office should check the qualifica- tions and begin to prepare for the campaign. The Student Council just com- pleted work on the annual corona- tion held in Miller High School Gymnasium on Nlarch 13. The entire Council would like to thank ALL those students and faculty members that cooperated and helped so much in making the project a success. With the money the Student Council made from the Queen's contest and the coronation, they have already pur- chased a new portable Public Ad- dress Systcni and bought new uni- forms for the Ranger Baseball Team. The Public Address System cost welcomed By Faculty, Students Mrs. R. H. Amrein, of Corpus Christi began taking over Mr. Hollo- way's classes Monday, March 19th. Though we regret losing Mr. Hollo- way we heartily welcomed Mrs. Am- rein and hope that she will enjoy teaching at Driscoll. Mrs. Amrein attended Hardin-Sim- Inons and Texas University. She taught three years at Roy Miller, end- ing in 19541. Her hobby is fishing and listen to this--she has NO pet peeves. She is a nice person to talk to, and I'm sure her students are going to enjoy having her for the remainder of the school year. Drop around and get acquainted with her when you have time. Report Cards Cause Stew All you kids who always wait un- til the last minute to start working in class have waited too late this time to make good grades. This Wed- nesday is X day. VVe get our re- port cards! On Wednesday sixth period will end early and you will report to your home room teachers to receive your report card. Only nine more weeks are left in this school year. That doesn't give you much time to fool around and still expect to pass. After Wednesday we will get our report cards only once more, at the end of school on Nlay 29. All you be sure and work real hard these last nine weeks. The members of the Prairie Press staff would sure like to see a lot of names on the next honor roll. You'd prob- ably like to see your own name on the list, so work hard! Nine weeks isn't such a long time. Joe Vickers: My wife had a funny dream last night. She dreamed she had married a multimillionaii-e. Manual Cano: You're lucky, my wife dreams that in the day time! 5183.4-5 and the cost of the uniforms was about 58200.00 The Student Coun- cil will use the remaining money to finance it's future projects and to purchase items that improve the school in some way, Participate ln Orientation In order to acquaint younger stu- dent's parents with the changes and problems that will face their young- sters as they go into junior high school, four members of the Robert Driscoll Student Council conducted a panel discussion March 16 on f'What Teen-agers Expect of Their Parents. About thirty-five members of the Home and Family Life group of the Savage Elementary .P.T.A. lis- tened to the panel as they gave the typical teen-ager's view of various subjects. They divided the topic into four main points: QU Understanding, Q23 Confidence, C51 Justice, Q4-J Sym- pathy and Compassion. In the ques- tion and answer discussion period that followed, such things were dis- cussed as: teen-agers and the family telephone, methods of punishment for misdemeanors, dating and dating cus- toms, going steady. After the discussion, which was profitable to the panel members as well as the adults present, the group served lunch, which had been pre- pared with teen-age tastes in mind. David Irving, panel chairman, com- mented, Anytime they need a panel, we'll be glad to come, and stay for lunch. Other panel members were Bobo Beynon, Cecile Blackmon, and Beverly Couch. l-lomerooms Begin Gardens, Hope To Win Contest The Student Council is once again sponsoring its annual homeroom gar- den contest. Any homeroom may en- ter the contest. The garden should be under the windows, directly out- side the homeroom. If this location is unsuitable, the homeroom represen- tative should contact James Kemp, chairman of the Student Council's gardening committee, and you will be assigned a better location. If neces- sary, the gardening committee will help the homeroom to get their gar- den started, The contest will be judged about the first of May. A prize of 35.00 will be awarded the homeroom who wins first place. 32.50 will be the prize for second place.

Capp1 Adams T AFF TUTTER OFF THE EDITOR,S DESK . . . Have you ever had that uncomfortable feeling that you were being watched? Made you feel a little conspicious, didn t it? Well, don't look now, but you're being watched all the time, by everybody! When you are out in public, your every action reflects on your home, your parents, and your school. You wouldn't want people thinking how awful you act and shouldn't you know bet- ter. Neither would you want them to be saying, uYou,d think his Cor herj parents would teach her better manners , or Those school kids always act that way , or 'LI wonder what kind of home he comes from. If there's one teacher I feel sorry for, it's a substitute teach- er. Sometimes I think she stands for more than a person can en- dure. And here at Driscoll is no exception. Trying to make the substitutes that we have put up with some of the things we do and the way we act sometimes seems highly impossible to me. All it makes her do is to think, MThose Driscoll kids! Going out of town on school sponsored trips, football games, Council trips, field trips, etc., is a responsibility to our school. Everything we do on these trips goes right back-and you know the rest. Marmers are defined in the dictionary as: C11 A way of acting, C21 Habitual custom, C35 Social rules of behavior. What is the usual custom with you? What are your social rules? Do you have any? Remember, your manners are showing! -Sylvia. OFF SOCIETY EDITOR'S DESK . . . You know kids, some of you don't really know what a friend is. A friend isn't just someone to talk to and maybe go to the show with if you haven't anything else to do. You have to con- sider their feelings and show respect for what they want to do and what they say. If you think that by acting smart or cussing or smoking or anything like that they are going to help you any, I dare say youlre wrong. Doing that kind of stuff isn't showing anybody else that youlre more grown up, if anything, you're just showing how big a fool you are. Nobody wants a friend that he's ashamed of, or afraid to be seen in public with. Boys, do you think that by hot rodding or doing some of the things I mentioned above, that a nice respectable girl is going to want to go with you. Do you think that your friends or other kids will respect you or your wishes? They won't, and who can blame them. Why should they, when you don't give a hoot about them. If you drove by someone's house and knocked down their trash can you would most likely laugh or think it's funny. But if someone came in your driveway and knocked your trash can over, you wouldn't think it was so funny. Especially when you were the one who has to pick it up. If you want people to like and respect you, show a little concern for them. And believe me, if everyone doesn't think you're a nicer fellow, I'll eat my hat. -Ann.

Here are some results when Driscoll placed. In the hurdles, Melecio Garza came out in second place. Daniel Leyva got 2nd in throwing the shot put-while, Albert Olivarez came out fourth in the 50. Daniel Leyva and Fred Gonzales plac- ed in the 100 yard dash. The meet was won by Hamlin with 40 points, followed by Northside with 17 points, then came Driscoll with 16 points.

The final score of the game after all the runs had been computed was 13-3 for Driscoll. The winning pitcher was David Bremer, who pitched the first three innings, until a throw from the outfield, which he was cutting off, hit his finger. After- wards Jimmy lVIcI-Iorse took over for a two inning stint. MHUI'O Quintenella finished out the seven inning game. Almost everyone on the team played sometime during the game. Charlie Johnston, John Krueger, and Daniel Leyva lead Driscoll in the hitting department. Krueger got the longest hit of the afternoon, a triple to right-centerfield. The Driscoll boys made a fine showing in their first game of the year and everyone on the staff, and we're sure everyone at school wishes the team all the luck in the world. Basketball Jackets Arrive The Robert Driscoll Ranger basket- ball team, which finished in second place, has purchased new jackets. The jackets are said to be very fine, they are maroon with white trimming. The letters are white with a maroon basketball on them. The lining in the coats is white satin. The team acquired the jackets through Mr. Parish, our prinicpal, they are very grateful for his help. Even if Spring has arrived and there may not be anymore cold weather we imagine that we will be seeing quite a lot of those jackets! Can we blame the boys, they work- ed plenty hard for them. Everyone who is an owner of a basketball jacket is a proud owner. We congratulate the team and are assured that the boys are more than satisfied with their purchase. Phono TU 4-0373 Dr. Herman O.

Q1 guess they were supposed to be candles.Q OI course this got all over school and a petition was sent around and it was agreed that he be impeached from his position. Poor David is now locked in his bedroom and there's a little window for his food to reach him. Considering all this we are glad to report that Bob Driscoll school has been very considerate and has sent him so far two boxes of blocks, sev- eral rattlers, and of all things he ask- ed for a walking doll!! He got that too! Please do not take anything you read in this paper seriously.

In tell- ing of his discovery Mr. Olsen, cus- todian, reported, We were plantin-g an acorn on the front lawn. Mr. Parish said he thought an oak tree would look nice there. We'd just dug a few feet when Mr. Boney, the shop teacher, came walking by and pick- ed up a piece of the rock we'd dug up. Well, he actually fell over it. We were stacking it up in the mid- dle of the sidewalk so we'd have it to fill the hole up with when we were through. Well, anyway, he knows all about rocks and he started yelling and jumping up and down and pointing at that rock. He kept yelling, URANIUM, URANIUM, URANIUM! and waving that rock around. He narrowly missed putting out my right eye with it and while taking cover I dug up a good bit more of the stuff. It just looked like a greenish rock to me. Mr. Smith, the mining expert who was called in to assay the value of the ore, plans to begin mining opera- tions within a week. All proceeds from the mine, which should exceed S100,000,000 a year, will be used for a youth center for the students. This youth center will be supervised by the students and each student will have a regular recreation period on his schedule at which time be may participate in any of the activities at the youth center, such as ping pong, dancing, tennis, or just enjoying the latest records on the juke box. Some doubt is felt in certain quar- ters about the value of this fabulous discovery. The ugly rumor is going around that a certain Driscollite va- cationed in Utah last summer and brought back a rock collection. To make it worse, this same student was seen standing nearby when the dis- covery was made, collapsing with laughter. Oh, well, let's hope the oak tree grows, anyway. dishes when you find you don't have money for both orders.

The field is drenched in two inches of rain, the infield is fast and the area from home plate to the end zone is slow. This is a pretty sunshiny day, the sky is overcast, the wind is blowing very calmly betwen 55 and 60 miles, it is coming in over the center field wall across the fifty-yard line. We are assembled here to witness the final lap of the Mile Series uh- World Series. The teams are the Baltimore .Pigeons and the St. Louis Parrots. And heer they come! The teams have just come out of their respec- tive dugouts. Listen to that crowd, all sixty-three of them. And look at those uniforms, beautiful, simply beautiful, the Piegons are wearing bright green pants with pink shirts. The Parrots are wearing purple shirts and yellow pan-Oh! Oh! Matopsik left something in the dress- ing room. Ah, there he has got them now. Well the game is about to start, the pitcher winds up and there's the pitch. Poofery takes the kick on the twenty and rounds seconds. He heads for third-he's up to the fifty-yard line. It's been an interesting game since the first quarter, the innings have gone rather slowly. The Parots are leading by three touchdowns, four extra points, five home-runs, and two stolen bases. The Pigeons have five touchdowns, three extra points. and two field goals. It's the bottom half of the ninth inning, two out and fourth down. The Pigeons are up, it's their ball on the thirty yard line in the Par- rot end of center field. There's a line driver to the-and Crumbly hits off tackle. He's stopped in the-and the right fielder catches the line driv- er to end the quarter. This enables the Parrots to be Chumps-er Champs of the sixth ditch-diggers district. You think this story is crazy, wait till you see why it was written- It's Apron Pool!

The All-City Student Council was organized to co-ordinate the stu- dent council activities of the schools in Corpus Christi and the surround- ing area. It sponsors projects that will be more successful on a cilY'Wide level than on a basis of individual schools. It also sponsors the char- tered buses that carry the Corpus Christi delegates to the state and district conventions. They recently sponsored Twirp Week and the char- tered buses that took the Corpus Christi delegates to the district con- vention in Laredo. They have begun plans for a Clean-Up Campaign and the Youth Offering United charity drive. This year a great deal of time has been spent in revising the All- City constitution. An All-City com- mittee was also responsible for the publicity on State Student Council Week.

Ray High Mark the 20th on Your Calendar If you are looking for a place to go on thc 20th of April, here's a tip you should put down on your cal- endar, The Robert Driscoll Acappella Choir of 1956 is presenting their spring concert on Friday night, the 20th, at Miller Auditorium. The program will be an hour long and will feature the boys quartet. Programs will be printed for the concert along with other necessary arrangements. The admission will be 25 cents for students and 50 cents for adults. The proceeds will go towards financing the choir's spring tour and trip. The choir has been preparing for the concert four months and the way it is sizing up it should be their best performance of the year. TED T COUNCIL FOR DRI 'COLL School, West Oso High School, and Wynn Seale Jr. High School, Bobo Beynon, Cecile Blackmon, Beverly Couch, and Elizabeth Webb represent Driscoll in the All-City Student Coun- cil. However the entire council will be invited to attend the next meeting, at which Driscoll will be the host school. They plan to serve a decorated cake with punch as refreshments at the meeting, which will be held in the library. Flashy Fabrics Shown By Driscoll Models On Thursday, March 29, the Dris- coll F.H.A. presented a style show featuring the spring fashions from Gensemer's Department Store. The models were taken from the F.H.A, clubs. The models were San- dra Riley, Blanche Duff, Becky Steele, Joyce Byrd, Ellen McCaughn, Janice Pulliam, Nancy Whatley, and Linda Crofford. At about half way through the show, entertainment for students was given by the boys quartet, Ginger Bedingfield and Saralyn Neslony. The lovely background music was furnished by Aurora Williams play- ing the piano. The models came through a deco- rated Easter egg which was ingen- iously thought up by Becky Steele. The egg was made by Mrs, Camp- bell's art classes. The profits of the show will be used to finance four representatives ways to the state convention in Fort Worth. The F.H.A. girls really did a won- derful job with the show and de- served the big success they made. Horseshoe Tournament On Friday, April 6th, Mrs. Young- man's -tth period class decided the lst, 2nd, 3rd, place winners of a horseshoe tournament that began on Tuesday, April 3. The team that won first place was Shirley Wagnei' and Eldimira Torres. They defeated Sandra Johnston and Janice McNeill with a score of 22-20. Sandra and Janice won 2nd place. 28 Driscollites Attend Convention ln Laredo Citizens Today and Tomorrow was the theme of the South Texas Association of Student Council's spring meeting held in Laredo April 7. Mr. L. P. Sturgeon, Director of the Divi- sion of Public Relations of Texas State Teachers Association, delivered the principal address on the respon- sibilities of citizens before, as well as after, they reach voting age. Mr. Sturgeon said his generation had dis- covered atomic and hydrogen power, but it would be up to the younger generation to decide whether this dis- covery would mean the destruction of mankind or the golden age of hu- manity. Delegates from the local junior and senior high schools, along with stu- dents from other schools in the South Texas district, were welcomed to the morning session of the conference by Benito Esparza, President of the Mar- tin High School Student Council. After the opening session the dele- gates broke up into discussion groups on such topics as f'What Are the Characteristics of a Good Student Council Constitution? and Duties and Responsibilites of Student Council Officers . Following a buffet lunch- eon of wide variety, the delegates were entertained by Spanish dancers well-known in Laredo and the sur- rounding area. At the afternoon busi- ness meeting officers were elected and Flour Bluff School was chosen as the host school for the district meeting next fall. After the conference was over the Corpus Christi delegates went on an excursions to Nueva Laredo. They returned to Corpus Christi by char- tered bus with many varied souve- niers of Mexico. The twenty-eight representatives of Robert Driscoll Jr. High School were: Mrs. Teeny Ad- kins, sponsor, Bobo Beynon, Cecile Blackmon, Priscilla Bowman, Johnny Sue Burns, Olga Castillo, Yolanda Cortez, Beverly Couch, Carolyn Cre- cy, Rosa Cruz, Maria Garcia, Eva Garza, Annie Marie Gonzales, Ra- mon Gonzales, Buzzy Hart, Sylvia Herrera, Claud Ellen Hill, Stanley Hutka, Joyce Jackson, James Kemp, Judy Langdon, Richard Martinez, Nancy McCool, Joe Pornpa, Bobby Rice, Gume Ruiz, Joan Watkins, and Elizabeth Webb. Irving Leadership Proves Successful Due to excellent teamwork on the part of the various confunittees, the Robert Driscoll Jr. High School Stu- dent Council has been as successful this semester as the past one. Each committee, composed of members of the Council, had certain duties to per- form. In the near future, the student body will be voting on some amendments to the Constitution of the Student Council. These amendments were pre- pared by the Constitution Committee, composed of Elizabeth Webb, chair- man, Cecile Blackmon, and David Irving. This year's handbook is being com- pletely revised by the Handbook Com- mittee, composed of David Irving, chairman, Gume Ruiz, Cecile Black- mon, and Sylvia Herrera. The Student Council has over 31,000 in its treasury at the present time. This is largely due to the fine work done by the Finance Committee. Finance Committee members were Bobo Beynon, chairman, Yolanda Cor- tez, Linda Crofford, Claude Ellen Hill, and Carlos Montalvo. The Student Council is now plan- ning a clean-up campaign. The Civic VVelfare Committee will be in. charge of this project. Civic Welfare Com- mittee members are Joe Weaver, chairman, Don Baker, Priscilla Bow- man, Eva Garza, and Stanley Hutka. Each morning of the week before Easter, the Devotional Committee pre- sented a short devotional. They also supervised the regular Monday morn- ing devotional programs. The Devo- tional Committee is composed of Bev- erly Couch, chairman, Julie Dotson, and Sylvia Herrera. When a student or faculty member is ill, the Courtesy Committee sends a card or flowers. Carolyn Crecy, chairman, Olga Castillo, Angie Puen- te, and Corina Ramos are on the Courtesy Committee. Posters and other publicity for the various projects is handled by the Literary Committee. This committee is composed of Cary Griffin, chair- man, Javier le la Rosa, Buzzy Hart, Nancy McCool, and Grady Wann. The Gardening Committee has sponsored the gardening contest, and assisted the homerooms in getting their gardens started. This committee is composed of James Kemp, chair- man, Buzzy Hart. Moses Hernandez, Gume Ruiz, George Stein, and Grady Wann. Page2 THE PRAIRIE PRESS Monday, April 16, 1956 - U .

WHO,S RESPONSIBLE F OR WHAT? Have you ever thought about the responsibility of voting? Some people will sit and complain about the way the govern- ment's being run and the negligent politicians who are making such a mess of the simplest little problems and will tell you that they just can't see how those simpletons ever got elected. Ask those people if they vote. Why is it that the ones who gripe the loudest about a mess are really the one who made the mess? They didn't even care enough to vote but now they want to tell everyone how much better they could do it. If you make bad citizenship a habit, you'll be doing the very same when you reach voting age. Our own Student Council elections are coming up soon. If you should discover later that the most qualified person didn't win, just remember that you elected them. Don't ever blame anyone else. OFF THE SOCIETY EDITOR'S DESK.- Did you know Robert Driscoll has a library for our own use? They have it for us. Not for the teachers or parents, but for US. When they put the library in schools they put them in for our own pleasure. And to help us with our school work. We have the advantage of many, many, schools. There's a lot of schools who don't have a library. Any time we want to it's reasonably sure we can go to the library and look up reports and news about recent happenings. Yet kids don't appreciate the library enough to put books back in their places when they take them out, or to return the books in good condition. When books are taken out of the library you are expected to act like Junior High boys and girls. You are expected to bring the books back in good condition. So many kids take books out and write all over them and tear the pages out. Then when someone else gets interested and have to read that last page or die, they come to the end and find it gone. Well there you are. So let's go a little easy on some of that stuff. And when you're looking at books and you take them off the shelves please be sure to put them back. -Ann Wonderful Wabbit Treats Driscoll At Driscoll's Easter Assembly this year, something extra was added. The Student Council as always spon- sored the Easter Assembly. Before the religious part of the program started, David Irving, presi- dent of the Student Council, presented the baseball uniforms to the baseball team. The uniforms were accepted by David Bremer, representative from the baseball team. A new P.A, sys- tem and portable record player was presented to the school by David and was accepted by Mr. McLeod. The religious part of the assembly was begun with Julie Dotson leading the student body in prayer. Claud Ellen Hill read the scripture. The boys quartet was featured singing, Listen to the Lambs and uln the Shade of the Old Apple Tree. The quartet was followed by the guest speaker, Reverend Liefiste of Alders- gate Methodist Church. After he had delivered his Easter message, he closed the assembly with the benediction. Appleby Makes The Grade Driscoll's made history again! We have a genius in our midst.

Against the Ray B Driscoll lost their first game five-four in the last of the seventh inning. This was a heart- breaking loss for the Rangers. David Bremer was the losing pitcher. In the return match, however, Driscoll fared much better. The final score was Rangers five, Ray three. The team played a lot better brand of ball and won by playing good heads- up ball all the way through. Jimmy McHorse was the winning pitcher for Driscoll and Joe Flood was the los- ing pitcher.

And Bless my stars! Here is the one and only .Iim Tucker Band. The members all look familiar. Yes, there's Billy Byerly, Ray Elizando, Andres Flores. Gale Gibson, Ronnie Caldwell, Gilbert Balli, and Pedro Garcia. The band will play for a farewell dance after the ship is launched. Oh, yes, we have here the com- plete cast of a movie that is called, Jambouree, which comes in June. The cast consists of: Sue Ann Gore, Cecile Blackmon, Beverly Brister, Patsy Cryer, Margaret Taylor, Ellie Walter', Sarilyn Neslony, Crystal Gandy, Ruth Gilleland, Johnny Burns, Ada Lou Hartman, Nancy Ingle, Connie Johnson, Barbara John- son, Karen Kelly, Betty Killen, Glen- da Roberts, Doris Rucker, Marilyn Wade, Nancy Ward and Bill Dur- ham. The play was written by Gil- bert Ita, and directed by Lupe Gon- zales. Universal-International is mak- ing the picture possible. Jane Plimper: Believe it or not, Julie Dotson and I are still together. We room together in Beverly Hills. I have a show of my own in one of the famous hotels while Julie is a cigarette girl. Beverly Couch: My husband and I own the algebra book-binding com- pany and we are very happy. By the way you can call me Mrs. Jim Weeks. Juanita Hartley: Just recently I was voted best secretary in the White House. Pat Harrington: I perform under water as a human mermaid in San Marcos-you know where the glass bottom boats are! Janice Pulliam: I am head librar- ian at the Library of Congress. Jim Thorpe, incidentaly, works there al- so as manager of shelfing and booksf' Lynelle Martin: You know the iokes in The Saturday Evening Post, well, don't blame me, I was just born silly. Seriously I am the editor-in-chief of the jokes. Judy McNeill: My husband, James Peterson and I are more or less in business together. I am a swim- ming instructor and James is the life guard. This is our hobby during the summer and we take care of our Cadillac Industry during the win- ter. ter. You might be interested to know some of the people we have saved. First, right after James Grant finish- ed taking lessons from me, .James had to save him, Also David Bremer al- most was done for one day when he tried a f'Jacknife Dive. I could go on forever but I'm really interested to know what Gordon Garwood has been doing these last twenty years. Gordon Garwood: 'Tm a bachelor who is enjoying life. I have a very large ranch with all the trimmings. CI wonder why Mary Mosel, Ann Lewis, and Elizabeth VVebb fell out of their chairs iust then!? j Harvey Broylesz I drive in the big speed races every year. So far I havent lost a race. Lynda Wood is partly responsible for this because she helps me remodel my old 1956 De Soto every year. VVilliam Porter: There are four of us that have formed a quartet. I'm sure you've heard many of our re- cordings. The others are Ronnie Avery, John Kruger, and Direce Palmer, VVe are known as the Four Spades ! Elizabeth Hinnant: I am an Eng- lish teacher here at Driscoll and also I might mention that Ted Raub teaches Biology right next door to me.', Susanna Martinez: I have the role of Roving Reporter on KVDO.
