Page 4- THE PRAIRIE PRESS Monday,Maich26,1956 Driscoll Runs ln Track Meet The Robert Driscoll Rangers ran in a Track Meet Friday the 16th. Al- though they lost the Ranger's Squad showed some outstanding performers. Daniel Leyva's brilliant finish in the 880 yard relay made everybody's eyes pop out. As he got the baton his teammates were trailing by 4-0 yards. He then showed some fine running by finishing 3rd, and almost catching the Northside anchor man which came out second. Here are some results when Driscoll placed. In the hurdles, Melecio Garza came out in second place. Daniel Leyva got 2nd in throwing the shot put-while, Albert Olivarez came out fourth in the 50. Daniel Leyva and Fred Gonzales plac- ed in the 100 yard dash. The meet was won by Hamlin with 40 points, followed by Northside with 17 points, then came Driscoll with 16 points. Driscoll might not win this year, but nobody can say they haven't tried. Good luck in your city meet, boys!

The final score of the game after all the runs had been computed was 13-3 for Driscoll. The winning pitcher was David Bremer, who pitched the first three innings, until a throw from the outfield, which he was cutting off, hit his finger. After- wards Jimmy lVIcI-Iorse took over for a two inning stint. MHUI'O Quintenella finished out the seven inning game. Almost everyone on the team played sometime during the game. Charlie Johnston, John Krueger, and Daniel Leyva lead Driscoll in the hitting department. Krueger got the longest hit of the afternoon, a triple to right-centerfield. The Driscoll boys made a fine showing in their first game of the year and everyone on the staff, and we're sure everyone at school wishes the team all the luck in the world. Basketball Jackets Arrive The Robert Driscoll Ranger basket- ball team, which finished in second place, has purchased new jackets. The jackets are said to be very fine, they are maroon with white trimming. The letters are white with a maroon basketball on them. The lining in the coats is white satin. The team acquired the jackets through Mr. Parish, our prinicpal, they are very grateful for his help. Even if Spring has arrived and there may not be anymore cold weather we imagine that we will be seeing quite a lot of those jackets! Can we blame the boys, they work- ed plenty hard for them. Everyone who is an owner of a basketball jacket is a proud owner. We congratulate the team and are assured that the boys are more than satisfied with their purchase. Phono TU 4-0373 Dr. Herman O.

In tell- ing of his discovery Mr. Olsen, cus- todian, reported, We were plantin-g an acorn on the front lawn. Mr. Parish said he thought an oak tree would look nice there. We'd just dug a few feet when Mr. Boney, the shop teacher, came walking by and pick- ed up a piece of the rock we'd dug up. Well, he actually fell over it. We were stacking it up in the mid- dle of the sidewalk so we'd have it to fill the hole up with when we were through. Well, anyway, he knows all about rocks and he started yelling and jumping up and down and pointing at that rock. He kept yelling, URANIUM, URANIUM, URANIUM! and waving that rock around. He narrowly missed putting out my right eye with it and while taking cover I dug up a good bit more of the stuff. It just looked like a greenish rock to me. Mr. Smith, the mining expert who was called in to assay the value of the ore, plans to begin mining opera- tions within a week. All proceeds from the mine, which should exceed S100,000,000 a year, will be used for a youth center for the students. This youth center will be supervised by the students and each student will have a regular recreation period on his schedule at which time be may participate in any of the activities at the youth center, such as ping pong, dancing, tennis, or just enjoying the latest records on the juke box. Some doubt is felt in certain quar- ters about the value of this fabulous discovery. The ugly rumor is going around that a certain Driscollite va- cationed in Utah last summer and brought back a rock collection. To make it worse, this same student was seen standing nearby when the dis- covery was made, collapsing with laughter. Oh, well, let's hope the oak tree grows, anyway. dishes when you find you don't have money for both orders.
