P889 4 T H E P R A I RI E P R E S S Sunday, April 1, 1956 DONT WORRY . THUNDERBIRD If You Ccsrrt Afford o LEWIS BOGGUS WILL MAKE A SPECIAL EFFORT TO GET YOU A HORSE AND WAGON WITH DUAL EXHAUSTS AND AIR-CONDITIONED RUMBLE SEAT Crazy Sports Events Well, folks, it's a pretty dull day here at Yankee Colesium. The field is drenched in two inches of rain, the infield is fast and the area from home plate to the end zone is slow. This is a pretty sunshiny day, the sky is overcast, the wind is blowing very calmly betwen 55 and 60 miles, it is coming in over the center field wall across the fifty-yard line. We are assembled here to witness the final lap of the Mile Series uh- World Series. The teams are the Baltimore .Pigeons and the St. Louis Parrots. And heer they come! The teams have just come out of their respec- tive dugouts. Listen to that crowd, all sixty-three of them. And look at those uniforms, beautiful, simply beautiful, the Piegons are wearing bright green pants with pink shirts. The Parrots are wearing purple shirts and yellow pan-Oh! Oh! Matopsik left something in the dress- ing room. Ah, there he has got them now. Well the game is about to start, the pitcher winds up and there's the pitch. Poofery takes the kick on the twenty and rounds seconds. He heads for third-he's up to the fifty-yard line. It's been an interesting game since the first quarter, the innings have gone rather slowly. The Parots are leading by three touchdowns, four extra points, five home-runs, and two stolen bases. The Pigeons have five touchdowns, three extra points. and two field goals. It's the bottom half of the ninth inning, two out and fourth down. The Pigeons are up, it's their ball on the thirty yard line in the Par- rot end of center field. There's a line driver to the-and Crumbly hits off tackle. He's stopped in the-and the right fielder catches the line driv- er to end the quarter. This enables the Parrots to be Chumps-er Champs of the sixth ditch-diggers district. You think this story is crazy, wait till you see why it was written- It's Apron Pool!

The All-City Student Council was organized to co-ordinate the stu- dent council activities of the schools in Corpus Christi and the surround- ing area. It sponsors projects that will be more successful on a cilY'Wide level than on a basis of individual schools. It also sponsors the char- tered buses that carry the Corpus Christi delegates to the state and district conventions. They recently sponsored Twirp Week and the char- tered buses that took the Corpus Christi delegates to the district con- vention in Laredo. They have begun plans for a Clean-Up Campaign and the Youth Offering United charity drive. This year a great deal of time has been spent in revising the All- City constitution. An All-City com- mittee was also responsible for the publicity on State Student Council Week.

The program will be an hour long and will feature the boys quartet. Programs will be printed for the concert along with other necessary arrangements. The admission will be 25 cents for students and 50 cents for adults. The proceeds will go towards financing the choir's spring tour and trip. The choir has been preparing for the concert four months and the way it is sizing up it should be their best performance of the year. TED T COUNCIL FOR DRI 'COLL School, West Oso High School, and Wynn Seale Jr. High School, Bobo Beynon, Cecile Blackmon, Beverly Couch, and Elizabeth Webb represent Driscoll in the All-City Student Coun- cil. However the entire council will be invited to attend the next meeting, at which Driscoll will be the host school. They plan to serve a decorated cake with punch as refreshments at the meeting, which will be held in the library. Flashy Fabrics Shown By Driscoll Models On Thursday, March 29, the Dris- coll F.H.A. presented a style show featuring the spring fashions from Gensemer's Department Store. The models were taken from the F.H.A, clubs. The models were San- dra Riley, Blanche Duff, Becky Steele, Joyce Byrd, Ellen McCaughn, Janice Pulliam, Nancy Whatley, and Linda Crofford. At about half way through the show, entertainment for students was given by the boys quartet, Ginger Bedingfield and Saralyn Neslony. The lovely background music was furnished by Aurora Williams play- ing the piano. The models came through a deco- rated Easter egg which was ingen- iously thought up by Becky Steele. The egg was made by Mrs, Camp- bell's art classes. The profits of the show will be used to finance four representatives ways to the state convention in Fort Worth. The F.H.A. girls really did a won- derful job with the show and de- served the big success they made.

Mr. L. P. Sturgeon, Director of the Divi- sion of Public Relations of Texas State Teachers Association, delivered the principal address on the respon- sibilities of citizens before, as well as after, they reach voting age. Mr. Sturgeon said his generation had dis- covered atomic and hydrogen power, but it would be up to the younger generation to decide whether this dis- covery would mean the destruction of mankind or the golden age of hu- manity. Delegates from the local junior and senior high schools, along with stu- dents from other schools in the South Texas district, were welcomed to the morning session of the conference by Benito Esparza, President of the Mar- tin High School Student Council. After the opening session the dele- gates broke up into discussion groups on such topics as f'What Are the Characteristics of a Good Student Council Constitution? and Duties and Responsibilites of Student Council Officers . Following a buffet lunch- eon of wide variety, the delegates were entertained by Spanish dancers well-known in Laredo and the sur- rounding area. At the afternoon busi- ness meeting officers were elected and Flour Bluff School was chosen as the host school for the district meeting next fall. After the conference was over the Corpus Christi delegates went on an excursions to Nueva Laredo. They returned to Corpus Christi by char- tered bus with many varied souve- niers of Mexico. The twenty-eight representatives of Robert Driscoll Jr. High School were: Mrs. Teeny Ad- kins, sponsor, Bobo Beynon, Cecile Blackmon, Priscilla Bowman, Johnny Sue Burns, Olga Castillo, Yolanda Cortez, Beverly Couch, Carolyn Cre- cy, Rosa Cruz, Maria Garcia, Eva Garza, Annie Marie Gonzales, Ra- mon Gonzales, Buzzy Hart, Sylvia Herrera, Claud Ellen Hill, Stanley Hutka, Joyce Jackson, James Kemp, Judy Langdon, Richard Martinez, Nancy McCool, Joe Pornpa, Bobby Rice, Gume Ruiz, Joan Watkins, and Elizabeth Webb. Irving Leadership Proves Successful Due to excellent teamwork on the part of the various confunittees, the Robert Driscoll Jr. High School Stu- dent Council has been as successful this semester as the past one. Each committee, composed of members of the Council, had certain duties to per- form. In the near future, the student body will be voting on some amendments to the Constitution of the Student Council. These amendments were pre- pared by the Constitution Committee, composed of Elizabeth Webb, chair- man, Cecile Blackmon, and David Irving. This year's handbook is being com- pletely revised by the Handbook Com- mittee, composed of David Irving, chairman, Gume Ruiz, Cecile Black- mon, and Sylvia Herrera. The Student Council has over 31,000 in its treasury at the present time. This is largely due to the fine work done by the Finance Committee. Finance Committee members were Bobo Beynon, chairman, Yolanda Cor- tez, Linda Crofford, Claude Ellen Hill, and Carlos Montalvo. The Student Council is now plan- ning a clean-up campaign. The Civic VVelfare Committee will be in. charge of this project. Civic Welfare Com- mittee members are Joe Weaver, chairman, Don Baker, Priscilla Bow- man, Eva Garza, and Stanley Hutka.
