I’m surely glad I wasn’t living in those days. I know I would have lost my scalp. On sec- ond thought maybe we wouldn’t have had so many themes to write. We were told that we would have five more to write. WOE IS ME!

The Vanderbilt Oilers were out- weighed by the Hornets but put up a very game fight throughout the contest. Everyone hopes this first sting by the blue and white is the beginning of many hard stings which will bring fame and glory to the Hornets. The yell leaders, led by Johnnie “Spider” McDaniel, have really been working to have good yell practices. Last week most of the students attended yell practice. There are two ways to have good school spirit and they are to have athletic and literary teams that compete well, win or lose and well attended yell practices. Unless a school can have this sense of school spirit it falls to the lowest of depths. We have it and we are not going to lose it!!! Are. we? Bonnie Harvey’s Yankees are leading the Girls’ Softball League. The league will end next week and the girls will learn to play Vol-Ten which is a game played with nine girls on each side of the tennis court with a tennis net and volleyball rules. The boys physical education class is playing touch football. My predictions for the next two weeks are as follows: Sharks 26, Vanderbilt 14; Hornets 33, Bay City 32; Sharks 13, Yorktown 7; Hornets 25, Louise 7. HOME ECONOMICS I The Home Economics I class announces a profit of $10.51, made by selling various kinds of candy at the Vanderbilt game on Septem- ber 29. Incidentally, that’s pretty good. We are planning to cook a meal on Friday. This time we'll all get to eat. (Believe it or not.) Have any of you guessed what F. H. H. (our new club name) stands for? Don’t try to hard. In- cidentally, we’re postponing our club meeting until October 21. We’re going to have a Hallowe’en party this year! The Junior High Cheer Leaders are on bended knee to the students of their school. What good are cheer leaders without a pep squad? Everyone come out for the game!

HOME ECONOMICS 7 On Friday, September 29, the 7th grade Home Economic girls started the school year by cooking a breakfast. This was the first pro- ject of the year and a few mis- takes were made. Of course they will do better when they have more experience. We hope Mrs. Newsom will let us bake a cake soon, as we haven’t much progress so far. £ Xax x x,x;.xISK X X'XXMSfiK»»XXaWXXXXXXX,»XK x-fcj gK j K BEAT VANDERBILT JOHN F. BARNETT LUMBER CO.

THE EBB TIDE OCTOBER 10, 1949 BOOKS FOR LIBRARY ARE FITTING MEMORIAL Several supplementary reference books and texts which belonged to Mr. G. H. Faubion are being accessioned in the junior high li- brary. Chief among these is “The Amer- ican Past” by Roger Butterfield. Grateful as we are for these books, we are still reminded of the wonderful teacher whom we lost so suddenly last year. Among our memories are his kindness, generosity, and determination to have us do great work. I am sure we will all find time to read some of his books which are so generously being donated to our library. We might even find some ancient history, or math- ematics in one. Who knows? STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council met for the first time with all members present. We feel that Mr. Sulli- van and Coach accomplished a lot. “Curly” Gayle and “Keg” Chiles contributed most to the discus- sions. Rrecreation for the noon- periods was discussed. It was de- cided to order six archery sets and Mr. Stevenson and his Agricul- ture classes volunteered to con- struct a concrete slab for shuffle board. We hope that all the high school students will be interested in these sports and will participate in them. Further spending of the Council’s money will be discussed at the next meeting. CHEMISTRY CLASS F. H. A. News The first F. H. A. meeting of the year was held Tuesday night at 7:00 o’clock in the Home Econ- omics cottage. It was a great dis- appointment to see only a few girls coming out for this meeting. The meeting was called to order by the president. Sue Jordan. The officers for the new year are as follows: President..... ....Sue Jordan Vice-President Jo Ann Claybourn Secretary......... Mary Lee Bell Treasurer... Carolyn Bates Parliamentarian Darleen Wickham Reporter.......... Bobbie Harvey Song Leader..... Ginger Richards After our business discussion we all went to the Pharmacy where Mrs. Smith, our sponsor, bought all of us a Coke. F. F. A. News The F. F. A. Chapter is happy to announce the arrival of some new machines for our shop that were badly needed last year. These machines are: 10-inch tilting-table saw, 6-inch jointer. 12-inch wood lather, double-head grinder, acety- lene welder, drill press, complete set high speed drill bits, complete set wood bits. The F. F. A. Chapter will meet Tuesday, October 11. All members are requested to be there. Bring your dues. II. E. DEPARTMENT AERONAUTICS CLASS There seems to be a different at- mosphere about the aeronautics class this year. The classes in aero- nautics in the previous years have been composed entirely of boys. This year the majority of students are girls. It has been supposed that boys were more suited to this class than girls. However, from the reports of the present class it seems that the girls are making as much progress, if not more, than the boys. Two trips have been made to the airport and many trips are planned throughout the year. On the second trip four students were taken on short flights by Mr. Sul- livan. Plans are now being made for all students in the class to take at least one flight if permission is obtained from parents. Mr. Walker, the manager of the local airport is offering thirty minutes free flying time to the student who makes the highest grade each six weeks. Right now there is some very keen competi- tion between several members of the class for this first thirty min- ute ride of the school year. In ad- dition to the time offered by Mr. Walker, other flights are promised by Mr. Newsom and Mr. Trull who own planes and are willing to give flight time to members of the aeronautics class. Boom!! What was that? Just one of the chemistry professor’s demonstrations. He told us that he was going to explode some hydrogen, so we all waited, ready to run. Then it happened!! We could hardly hear it and everyone was so disappointed. We’re still all eager to become great scientists though. We’ve al- ready done one experiment, and are looking forward to the time when we’ll do some more. It would- not be surprising if some of us tried some experiments that aren’t in the book. fw X X X X x x X X Xx X X X mv x :x M X X X I X II SUCCESS TO THE SHARKS AND HORNETS H. (. Campbell x INSURANCE Last week we were highly hon- ored with a visit to the home of; Mrs. Charles Luther. There we went from room to room and noted the things of interest. We especial- ly liked the interior decorating of the bathrooms. We deeply appre- ciate her invitation of entertaining the H. E. girls at her home in the future. The H. E. II ‘Sewing Circle” de- cided to take sewing the first sem- ester. All of us are making dress- es except Mary Ellen, and she is making an attractive skirt and blouse. Speaking for the class I don’t sec bow we would have sewed the right sides of the skirt together without the help of our wonderful instructor. Especially a little blond- headed girl who thought she had to have two thicknesses of material to make one gore in her skirt.

You had better watch out, you boy firemen, because the girls are moving in. ENGLISH 8 Those nine part of speech are still with us. It seems that some people will have to put on their “thinking caps.” A certain girl (N. H.) and Billy Liggett certainly do find a lot of gossip to talk about. Wonder what?

THE EBB TIDE OCTOBER 10. 1949 VAMONOS ESPANA! Wee, we finally ran into the word conjugation. It isn’t as hard as we thought it would be, though. We haven’t taken any trips yet, but we hope to soon. (I mean by screen of course.) We have had some conversations and one or two plays. The plays are really quite funny. The author has a good sense of humor. (I think.) We wish John would divide his “chite.” Maybe if he gave Mrs. Sullivan some, we could all have some in Spanish Class. John, re- member, five points every other day is a lot to use. ? ESTUIDAMOS ESPANOL ? The Senior High Spanish Class started off with a “bang” this year. We started off by reviewing the things we learned last year but had forgotten. The language of our Spanish-speaking neighbors i» very interesting and we all enjoy it immensly. Senor Carvin, our new teacher, is really “on the ball,” especially with the homework as- signments.—Adios Amigos!! PALACIOS CLEANERS ELI MAYFIELD AMERICAN HISTORY In American History class we have been studying about the peo- ple who settled our country and have been learning the different colonies and their forms of gov- ernment. We thought this would not be an unusually hard lesson, but what happens—the professor comes up and gives a test over the thirteen original colonies. Sur- prised? Not exactly. Our class is willing to advise the class of 1950-51 that they had better be aware of the dangerous maps in the history room. Seems as though every time Mr. Harbi- son sends a person to locate a place on the map the rest of the class stops up their ears. Just in case you need this more fully ex- plained say only a few words to Robert Neely and you will then understand. HISTORY 8 Clint W. and Boyd “Tiny” F. are finding the Wednesday His- tory test quite difficult since they have to pass it to play football Thursday nights. When we have discussions. Car- roll Harvey surely does wish he could remember what his mother read to him the night before. r»X 'K K R X X X X'jt;” !! K !l K )! K 'K XX BRANDON'S Dry Goods - Shoes Notions - Hats PALACIOS, TEXAS KED’S TENNIS SHOES SCHOOL SUPPLIES The Juniors aren’t going to let the sophomore get ahead of them. Now they have a broken leg in their class, too. Don’t they Donny Kitchen? FIRST— half 7-6. Late in the third quarter, Jim- my Kitchen went over for another score which brought the score to 13-7. Sam Seale went over for the final touchdown. Roy Wratislaw kicked the extra point which brought the score to 20-7. The hard running of Gayle and Kitchen in the backfield was out- standing throughout the game. They didn’t resemble the “timid boys” who carried the ball for the Sharks in the first two games. We predict that this running will continue to improve and they will get even better blocking from the other “Backs” and the “Forward Wall.” With the exception of a few min- utes of the second quarter our defense was outstanding. Sonny 5 PETERSEN’S CAFE 416 Main St. Chiles was making vicious tackles when stopping plays from the sec- ondary. James Penland was play- ing in the Bloomington backfield half of the game. He was deter- mined that Black should not skirt his end. Wesselman, Wratislaw, Wright, Bolling, Neely, Mark- wardt, Ramsey, Seale, Rodriquez, Aparicio, Bowers, Spruiel, and Cairnes were carrying out their men on offense and presenting a stone wall to the Bobcats on the defense.
