SEPTEMBER 26, 1949 THE EBB TIDE WE ARE BOOSTING FOR THE SHARKS FEATHER SON Insurance English eight Last year’s seventh grade Eng- lish students have reassembled as eighth graders without the loss of a student but with the addi- tion of eleven. We hope to make the newcomers feel at home. The same eight parts of speech are still with us. There have been several boys changed from first period to sec- ond period class. To Bonnie H.’s delight, Bill K. was among them. MATHEMATICS EIGHT The eighth grade girls math class enjoys watching the football boys practice football during the seventh period class. It is work- ing out fine because the lessons have been fairly simple. PARTAIN FOOD MARKET ’Your Family Grocery' PHONE 68 STAPLE AND FANCY GROCERIES • ! YEA, SHARKS ...

D. HOLST. Ill “Old King Football” has really taken over now and he will rule from now until about January 1st, 1950. The Junior High Hornets, now in their second year of inter- scholastic athletic competition, have joined a football conference. Every- one in “the big red castle” is hop- ing they will have a ball club strong enough to win the con- ference, but I know it isn't that easy. Unless we snap out of our slump, the road will be long and rough. The girls physical education class now has 38 students, which is a lot of girls for just one physical ed- ucation teacher. (I’m enjoying it!) The class is divided into three softball teams which will have a play-off for the championship. The teams are the Sluggers, Black Pan- thers and the Yankees, with Judy Broussard, Kay King, and Bonnie Harvey as captains of the re- spective teams. Now to my football predictions of the week: Palacios Sharks over Bloomington 19-12; Junior High Hornets over Vanderbilt, 13-0; Sharks over Goliad, 13-0; Junior High Hornets over Port Lavaca 20-13. HORNETS’ SCHEDULE September 22—Bay City at Bay City; September 29—Vanderbilt here; October 6—Port Lavaca at Port Lavaca; October 13—Bay City here; October 20—Louise at I ouise; October 27—Port Lavaca here; November 3—Edna at Edna; No- vember 10—open; November 17— Edna here. Make it a point to go out and see all of the football games. The Hornets need your support! TEXAS HISTORY SEVEN Look out, the Indians will get you! That’s the way we have felt in studying the first three chap- ters of our Texas History. Names, names, how could anybody have such a name as Cabeza de Vaca or Pineda. We can’t pronounce them much less spell them. Anyway we are looking forward to that trip to Goliad. Hope we get to go next spring. BEAT BLOOMINGTON! JOHN F. BARNETT LUMBER (0.

We had a test over all we have learned about Parts of Speech since the third day of school, last Friday, Sep- tember 16. Miss McGlothlin, our English teacher, has been reviewing us for about two weeks by giving us sentences to tell the Parts of Speech of and giving us words to use as different Parts of Speech We are keeping notebooks this year just as we did last year in which we keep our corrected tests and summaries of book reports. We are now ready to take up the study of the simple subject, com- plete subject, simple predicate and complete predicate. We will likely take up something different after the six-week test.

Franklin Cunningham Business Mgrs. David Johnson Colleen Treacy FIRST CASUALTY A courageous sophomore, Bill Hamlin by name, was hurt during the first quarter of the Tidehaven game here Friday night. Bill was sent in to relieve Tom Boling and got his leg bone cracked after the third play. He said he felt a little pain but nothing was as important as the football game. Bill kept on playing and intercepted a short pass in the third quarter. He said his leg didn't hurt him until he got home that night. Moral—If you want to play foot- ball bad enough, a broken leg can’t stop you! XisOrtxpt k Knuitixtotx BRANDON'S Dry Goods - Shoes Notions - Hots PALACIOS.

Phone 323 or 324 Junior High Library The library checking counter has been one of the most popular spots in the Junior High School since opening day, on September 13. The seventh graders seem apt in learn- ing to return books promptly so they won’t have to pay a fine of five cents a day which is charged for books when overdue. Will the seventh graders and new students please note that the librarians must know the name of the book, the author’s name, and also whether it is fiction or non- fiction, and if the book is non- fiction they must have the number in order to produce the book in- quired for. The most popular books since school opened seem to be Little Women” with the girls and Black Stallion” for the boys. Results Of Game No. 1 1. Keg, better known as S. Chiles, pooped out 2. George McHaney did acro- batics with his pet drum. 3. Rampmeier punted 10 yards. 4. E. N. Falks demands a suit. 5. Rodriquez ended the game with a 10 yard loss. 6. Coach Shelton gained some —hair that is. 7. Newsom got to play. 8. Goppert got a tackle. 9. Red got a tackle, the wrong man (Bill Hamlin). 10. Tom B. fell on his head and hurt his knee. 11. Neely messed up his hair. Senior Rings, Junior Pins Are Selected In Tuesday, September 13, Mr. Charles L. Cherry, the representa- tive of the Herff-Jones Company, came to the senior high school to take orders for senior rings and junior pins. After much discussing the seniors and juniors made their choices and Friday was set as a deadline for all deposits to he made. The deposits have been sent to the company and everyone is eagerly waiting for the rings and pins to come. We are especially in- terested in who will he wearing them! Beat Bloomington!

THE EBB TIDE SEPTEMBER 26. 1949 NINTH GRADE H. E. Monday, September 12, 1949, the Ninth Grade H. E. Class organ- ized the F. H. H. Club. Well let you guess what F. H. H. stands for. The following officers were elec- ted: Charlene McConnell, presi- dent; Dolly Milam, vice president; Mary Louise Wells, secretary; Hel- en Kutach, treasurer; Colleen Treacy, Jean Wendel and Marylu Moseley, entertainment committee. The club will meet the first and third Friday of each month. Orchids of the week— To Mr. Charles Luther for the new refrigerator, electric stove and hot water heater for uor school. To Misses Dolly Milam and Gail Sexton for donating three beautiful fryers for the H. E. I Class pro- ject. Monday the girls learned how to kill, dress and cut up a fryer. Tuesday they had fun frying and eating the fryers. Thanks again girls, for the beautiful fryers. HOME ECONOMICS EIGHT The H. E. 8 students decided by a majority vote to have a club, the “Needle and Grill ' We elected the following officers: President, Ann Brandon; vice- president, Bonnie Harvey; secre- tary, Marlene Cavallin; treasurer, Joy Dorsey. Our first project was two cakes in honor of Ann Brandon's birth- day. Our first party turned out very well. The refreshments were cold drinks and cake. The entertainment committee was Mary Alvarez, Ver- non Moore, Gwen Johnson and Val- erie Weaver. We also played games. If you don’t have a sticker for your car with “Palacios Sharks” and the football schedule, all you have to do is to drop by Lloyd Al- ton’s Gulf Service Station and he will be glad to give you one.

Campbell INSURANCE 4-H Club News The Palacios Junior High School 4-H Club met with Miss Wells, the assistant Home Demonstration lead- er, on September 14, 1949. The meeting was called to elect officers for the coming year. The officers elected are Presi- dent, Nellie Thompson; Vice-Pres- ident, Carolyn Tolleson; Secretary- Treasurer, Mary Alice Bishop; Rec- reation Leader, Jo Ann Roach; Co-leader, Jeanette Carter. Nellie Thompson was elected candidate for the Gold Star Award of the County. The candidate must be 14 years of age and must have completed 3 years of club work. AMERICAN HISTORY EIGHT One day last week Mr. Willen- borg was called to the phone. We found out later his wife wanted him to come home and kill a bug in their house. Did you ever kill that bug, Mr. Willenborg? Bobby Partain finds it very in- teresting to drop notes on a cer- tain girl’s desk. Mr. Willenborg takes delight in reading the notes which Paul Gut- tenburger receives from a silly little seventh grader. (Everyone is still wondering what it said.) Clinton Wratislaw has so much “other” night work that he doesn’t have time to read his history. SHARKS DEFEAT— nets. The Sharks failed to make a first down in the first half while the Hornets rolled up six. In the second half the Hornets made seven first downs to three for the Sharks. Our blocking must be improved if our offense is going to click. Our defense looked good in spots but pitifully weak in others. Wrat- islaw, Chiles, Ramsey and Wessel- man made a big majority of the tackles for the night. Big Ramsey, | of the Hornets, tore our line to bits time after time throughout the con- test. Our prediction is that Coach Shelton will be doubling up on blocking and tackling practice in preparation for our first District game with Bloomington here Fri- day night. Jeannette Williams and Sue Jor- dan will be queen contestants at the Bay City Rice Festival, October 7th and 8th. SEE BEN FRANKLIN STORE FOR YOUR School Supplies tCSCX a a a aaxa a Ploy Follows Work After the game with Tidehaven Friday night, spirits were high and everybody wanted to dance. The pavillion was closed, how- ever, with the help of James Mil- am’s record player and Roy Mark- wardt’s records, Crawford’s garage fairly rocked with T. D.’s boogie woogie. Finally it settled back on its foundation when the crowd got sentimental and played som dreamy records. Although a few wolves only looked at the major- ettes legs, a good time was had by all at the after-game stomp. Saludas Amigos! And I mean howdy to every- body. Our Junior High Spanish classes are not so large this year so we hope to get in a lot of conversa- tion (in Spanish) and take a few trips (by screen) to Mexico and other points south. We’ve already learned that “soy” means “I am.” I wonder what “noy” means? I believe Marilyn Johnson might be able to answer that. Somehow, I can’t seem to find it in the Spanish dictionary. We’re looking forward to a word called conjugation—Guess we’ll find out what it means “muy pronto.” AMERICAN HISTORY CLASS The American History class of 1949-50 is beginning to sympa- thize with last year’s class. Dur- ing the past week we have been studying and making reports about the Spanish, French and English explorers. We have already started working in our little red workbooks Seriously though, we are really beginning to appreciate our Amer- ican past. Yesterday Mr. Har- bison appointed three pupils to be a committee of reporters. These pupils are Doris Slaughter, Charles Goppert, and Rudolph Mosier. GREEN LANTERN INN WARD S. COOK HUSAK MOTOR CO.
