The Acapella big year. Having already given a dance on November 18, they are now working on two P.T.A. programs, one at Oak Park, and the other here at Driscoll.

Pm A Rolling, Ser- enade Melodyn, and Go Tell It on the Mountain are some of the songs the mixed choir is working on now. Mr. Prices homeroom voted on sending a package to Care, for the to in of in poor and needy people, We ought think of those poor people once a while. 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. Our contribution for the package was ten dollars. robes will be white, with maroon bow ties. The girls will also wear dark grey skirts.

Kids that could be you, me, or anyone. I'm sure that you don't go knocking books out of people's hands for the fun of it, but still that kind of thing is still going around. People should keep to the right at all times. 'There's no need for all this shoving and pushing that goes on in the halls. .lust take time to think of all the trouble you're causing someone else, and you would surely take things a little easier. Sure, there's a lot of you who have to get to your class in five minutes but still there's a lot of you who don't make it for the shoving in the halls. Tl1ere's 1500 kids who have to go through the halls during the five minute period. And about one third of the kids are late or pushed around. CTO be continuedj There's an old saying that has been going on for hundreds of years. In fact it's the Golden Rule: DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU. Ann.

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. The students then attended discussion groups on parliamentary procedure and were entertained with a Par- liamentary Procedure Demonstration by Ray High School. The delegates who attended this workshop from Robert Driscoll were: Pete Flores, Ramiro Teran, Adolph Schmidt, Beverly Couch, Claud El- len Hill, Bobo Beynon, Billye Koe- nig, Beth Hall, and Stanley Hutka.
