Pagef-I TH-E PRAIRIE PRESS Monday, September 26, 1955 The Cat's Meow Say gals you'd better get a move on if you expect to get a guy before they're all taken. Boy, doesn't Ann Lewis and Lloyd Lester make a cute couple? Mmmm! Myra Jane Alston and Butch Bray are going steady new and they want everyone to know it. 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. Jane Plimper sure has been see- ing a lot of Robert Bumb from Col- lege Academy. fwoo wow!j What's this about Sharon Kay An- germiller liking Glen Cavin. -Yours Till the Cat Meows! Student-lVIr. 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.

OFFICIAL ROBERT DRISCOLL BI MONTHLY JUNIOR HIGH he Prairie Press Vo1.uMa IV CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS, MONDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1955 NUMns.x 2 Mr. McLeod Offers To Robert Driscoll --w El Libro Ready For Coming Year On Sept. 23 the student librarians met with Miss Jackson, our new li- brarian, to re-organize the El Libro Club of last year. The group elected officers to serve for this school term. They are Janice Pulliam for Presi- dent, Billy Koenig for Vice-President, and Cecile Blackmon for Secretary and Treasurer. The remainder of the meeting was taken up with plans for future days and discussing how the library and student liabrarians can he of greater help to the students. This organization should be one that will prove helpful to the student body as well as its members. Members of El Libro are: Yolanda Robles, Jennie Ritchey, Shirley Wat- son, Elizabeth I-Iinnant, Consuelo Germ, Rick Boland, Betty Sue Chand- ler, Elizabeth Newton. Joan Watkin, Carol Vllalker, Ellen Mecatigh, Linda Joyce Smith, Edith Adams, Sheron Tracy, Dorothy Carter, Joyce Han- kins, any Patsy Graham. Mrs. Boney's P. E. Classes Co-Captain 1. Trudy Sears Maria Rios Lois Nlartin 3. Mary Mosel Julie Dotson '1-. Vernelle Appleby Ginger Bedingfield S., Glenda Bennett Judy McNeil Congratulations Student Body Congratulations to our fine stu- dent body and faculty for an ex- cellent beginning of the school year. 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. Come on kids, really co-operate ,With Mr. Nickerson and the Safety Patrol boys to make this a top year in ' safety for Driscoll. A.M. Shift: P.M.
