Page 4- THE PPIAI RIE PRESS Monday, October 10,1955 DRISCOLL TOPS CUNNINGHAIVI The Driscoll Rangers opened the '55 football season with a 7-6 vic- tory over Cunningham yesterday. 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.
