Page 6 T H E P R A I R I E 'P R E S S Tuesday, December 20, 1955 How To Get Along ln Library The library is yours to enjoy. It is the place where you may find pleasant acquaintances and exciting experiences in books. In. order that you may thoroughly enjoy it you need to know how to use it. The following rules are designed to give you and your classmates greater ne- joyment and more effective use of your library. Q 1. One fiction book and one non- fiction book may be taken at one time, or two non-fiction books may be checked out. A student should never have more than two books checked out at one time. 2. Books may be kept out for two weeks and may be renewed for an- other tvvo-week period. A fine of two cents a day will be charged for each day a book is overdue, If the book has been lost the student to which it was checked out should contact the librarian and if it cannot be found will be expected to pay for it. . 3. Fine notices will be issued in order for homeroom teachers to re- mind their students of fines. How- ever, the student is expected at all times to keep up with books charged to him, without having to be re- minded. 4-. A student may -not check out a book for another, nor may a student check out materials for a teacher without at note from the teacher to the librarian. 5. Always put your books back on the shelf if you do not intend to check them out. If you take them from one place and put litem back in another they cannot be found 'or used by anyone else. Even though you may not need that book it may be very important to someone else. 6. If you need to talk, speak in a low voice and do not disturb anyone else. 7. Do not move chairs around or make unnecessary noise. When you leave the library, place your chair in its proper place under the table. 8. When at the desk do not cause unnecessary confusion. Be sure to write your whole name and your homeroom number on the card found in the back of the book, Write legib- ly and be sure the date of return has been stamped in your book. 9. Students should ask the librarian or the student librarians for any spe- cial material needed. They are al- ways ready to help whenever pos- sible. 10. Take care of books which have been entrusted to your care. The money that has to be spent on the repair of library books and equip- ment could be spent on new books for your enjoyment. The Robert Driscoll School library belongs to the students and teach- ers. Obsercing these rules will be of great benefit to you as well as others who use our library.

Tuesday. December 20, 1955 T H E P R A I R I E P R E S S Page 5 what Do You Know About Basketball? Well, it's basketball season again. The boys on our basketball team will soon start practicing for their first game. We're hoping that we'll get the Championship this year. Our boys are pretty keen-maybe they'll make history for the Junior High in Cor- pus Christi. Say! Speaking of history-I won- der how many of you know how basketball was started. Well, I was looking through an encyclopedia to settle a little argument about cats I was having with myself, and I came to a section on basketball. Nat- urally since its basketball season, I read it. This is what I found out: Basketball is unlike football, which, by the way began with the ancient Greeks. It is one of the few sports invented in a certain year for a def- inite purpose, by a definite person. In 1891 James Naismith, an inst.ruc- tor at the Young Men's Christian Association Training School in Springfield, Massaciiusetts started the game. I-Iis sensible reason was this: a sport that could be played indoors during the winter time was needed, when football, baseball, golf, or ten- nis could not be played. Naismith called his new game basketball, because the purpose in the game was to throw a ball into one of the two peach baskets set on op- posite ends of the playing court. Soon the game became popular in the schools, colleges, and athletic clubs all over the United States. Now that l've told you what I found out, I want to ask a favor of you-Get in there and support the Rangers. Mrs. Youngmanis Sixth Period P. E.. Class Mrs. Youngman's 6th period P.

The Rangers were ahead at the end of the first period 14-11, but couldn't hold the lead and it was nip and tuck through the second quarter to the half. The third quarter was the same as the second except that it was little better contested and more even. In to the fourth quarter it went with the score mounting with each basket, and each team matching a basket for a basket. Late in the last quarter Tu- loso-Midway took a small lead and held it for the remainder of the game. The WB played a fine game also. The team was behind at the end of the first quarter, but despite the dis- advantage they came back to chop the lead down. It was a losing cause, for they lost the game finally by the score of 32-31. The next game of the season was with Flotu- Bluff at Flour Bluff. The Rangers were hot and played a fine game. With everyone doing his share of the work in taking the Flour Bluff boys to the cleaners The final score was 38-39 in favor of Driscoll. Sammy Garza was the leading scor- er of the game, followed by Eloy Romero. The BH team won by the score of 15-10. As you can tell this was a very close game for at the end of the first quarter the score was 2-0 in favor of the Rangers. Well, it looks like the Rangers are off to another fine season and we wish them luck as they seek their sixth straight championship. 5 TEMPLE LUMBER CMPANY E ssoz LEOPARD - PHONE TU 4-8861 .IE-............. was I 'tic wi Ei S153 I-5 V: E III-+55 57's rgi Bimftpi vlo I tg O : Magna: -pi 'IE egg -sg E I vl I stso Zi :gig I :tim rio I Kwgg ........ .... . .

Prefix 2-L Student Council Presents Assembly On Christmas On Nlonday, December 19, a spec- ial Christmas assembly was present- ed by the Student Council. The pro- gram was introduced by the presi- dent, Beverly Couch. The invocation was given by Robert Wells. David Irving gave a reading from Scrip- ture. The A-Capella Choir, under the direction of Miss Jean Seiler, sang 'QI VV onder as I VVander . Reverend Dal- rell Gray, of the Oak Park Methodist Church, was an excellent guest speak- er. The second musical selection of the Choir was Praise the Lord . Mr. Parish closed the program with a benediction. The seventh grade students attend- led the assembly while eighth and ninth grade students enjoyed the pro- gram over the public address system. At future assemblies the older stu- dents will have to work hard to beat those seventh graders' assembly man- ners, Those kids sure can behave like ladies and gentlemen when they want to! Staff Adopts Noisy Mascot Have you hear a lot of crackling, squawking and screaming near Room 20- No, it's not Mrs. Adams, but instead a very talkative parrot by the name of Sam, belonging to Sandy and Patsy Cryer. Since the staff has never had a mascot before, we adopt- ed Sam. The other day he even paid us a visit Cwith Patsy as an escort, of coursej. If you hear a mys- terious voice yelling, Buy your an- nual today, don't be surprised, its probably Sain practicing. 8th Grade Y-Teens Elect Officers The eighth grade Y-Teens have elected their officers for 1956. The girls chose as their officers the fol- lowing: President, Mable Gunn. Vice President, Sandra Riley. Secretary, Blanche Duff. Treasurer, Sandra Johnston. Parliamentarian, Dinah .Potts. Reporter, Gwen Porche. Song Leader, Wanda Bennett. We Are Now One Year Older Wfell. another year is here already. An almost untouched year with plen- ty of time to start new things, so- let's do. The beginning of a new year is a good time to begin and take interest in things you've never seemed interested in before. Every year millions of people make resolu- tions and every year many people say and really think they'll try to keep them, but somehow, they just never get around to them. Why not, probably for the first time in your life, make and keep your resolutions this year. Resolutions, when they are kept, can help you, and make life more pleasant for people around you. VVhy not make some resolutions for this school, such as: 1. Pay more respect to teachers. 3. Be more conscious of your ap- pearance. 3. Get assigned work in on time. 4-. Obey school rules. Finish these resolutions with your own. If everyone would follow these resolutions and others you make, it would help Driscoll to be a much better school. L '55-'56 Football Jackets Arrive Have you seen some boys with their chests pushed out. It's because they have bought their new football jackets. They are white with purple collars, a purple band around their cuffs, and purple shoulders. Believe it or not girls, they cost plenty. So when your boy friend lends you his, take good care of it. Almost all of them have bought one. This kind of jacket is one of the newest styles. Driscol1's jackets use to be gray with purple, but now they are white. They look real neat with their purple let- ter. We ought to thank Coach Tan- ner for going to the trouble of order- ing these catty new jackets. NOTICE! THERE ARE ONLY A VERY FEW ANNUALS LEFT. BE SURE TO GET ONE WHILE THEY LAST.
