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. Refreshments will be sold. Those who attend will be treated to a view of beautiful clothes select- ed from these types: sports, casual, date, and formal. The fashions are by Lichtenstein's and a Lichtenstein's fashion consultant will direct the student models. Your friends who will be parading their borrowed finery before your dazzled eyes are: Janice Pulliam, Becky Steele, Myra Jane Alston, Blanche Duff, Joyce Byrd, Sandra Riley, Jeannine Ritchey, Heidi Hut- ton, Nancy Whatley, Mabel Gunn, Cristo Herrera, Robert Clark, and Leonard Shelton. 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. Re. printed for Corpus Christi Caller. Meet The Press We have selected this week Billy Howell, our assistant sports editor for an interview. This is Billy's first year on the staff and he's doing a perfect job. Billy is 13 years old and his birth- date is June 15th. He lives at 933 Nandina with his parents and little sister. Billy was a blue eyed baby and still has blue eyes, with brown hair to go with them, and is 5'7 tall. He likes baseball very well and dislikes homework, Cdonlt we alllj As a hobby he likes reading sports stories. We are looking forward to hav- ing Billy back on the staff next year. 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.

Prof: Name two pronouns. Stude: Who, me? 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.

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. There are eight teams left in the race. These teams are either in the finals or semi-finals. There are three left in the seventh grade and five in the eighth grade.
