OFFICIAL ROBERT DRISCOLL BI MONTHLY JUNIOR HIGH I I he Prairie Press XIOLUME IV CORPUS CI-IRISTI, TEXAS, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1955 NUMBER 1 r. 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.
