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 )!

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.

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.

PALACIOS HIGH SCHOOLS BB TIDE VOLUME 1 PUBLISHED BY P. H. S. STUDENT BODY NUMBER 4 Sharks Lose Second Game To Yorktown The Sharks met a very determin- ed group of Wildcats in Yorktown Friday night October 21 to suffer their second district defeat by the score of 14 to 0. The heavy Yorktown forward wall was just too much brawn and determination for our boys to move. This hard charging line was in our backfield so often it was impossible to get our passing game to clicking. Our running plays were stopped at the line of scrimmage most of the evening. As a result we found ourselves on the defense for a greater part of the game. A magnificent job was done by the secondary on the defense. Lynn Ramsey seemed to be the most ef- fective linesman for the Sharks. The loss of James Spruiel on the second play of the game was a tough blow to the Sharks as a big part of the passing game was fan- ned for Spruiel on the receiving end. X-ray pictures show a frac- ture in the right knee so it seems that “Long John Spruiel will be on the side lines for the remainder of the season. Spruiel had been showing plenty of spirit and fight in the past two weeks. District standings for the teams of 40-B at this time puts Port La- vaca in the lead with three wins nnd no losses to mar their record. Yorktown is in second place with one loss. Palacios, Ganado, Vander. bilt and Bloomington are tied for third with two losses each. Hornets Foil Before Black Kittens It seems that history does re- eat. at least to the Palacios Hor- lets it seems that way. They have n defeated twice this season— oth times by Bay City’s Black Cittens and both times by a score f 33 to 7. The Black Kittens scored four imes the first half to lead by a alf time score of 26 to 7. The lornets came to life in the first uarter when Pete Sardelich, be- hind perfect blocking, scored af- ter galloping 75 yards. The Hornets, who were both out- weighed and less experienced, played good football despite the size of the score. The line play was highlighted by Wratislaw, Smith, Linton and Harvey. In the backfield Sardelich and Humble were the spark plugs.

Industrial Cobras Defeat Sharks, 7-6 The Sharks dropped their unde- feated record to the Industrial Cobras 7-6 in a four minute game. The Sharks were caught flatfooted the first half but showed much more steam the second half, how- ever, the last four minutes were the hardest on the blood pressure. After the Sharks received the ball they ran it back about four yards then lost about eight. On the kickout the Sharks recovered the ball on an Industrial fumble and Gayle did the kicking and recov- ering all in one play. The Sharks’ passes in the first half were all incomplete while Row- ell went 80 yards to score the only Cobra touchdown, late in the first quarter. Their converted point was the deciding factor in the game. The second quarter the Sharks began showing a little more steam, and the fourth quarter saw the Sharks in action. Gayle completed a pass to Spruiel which was good for 30 yards. Then Gayle made an- other 25 yards on a fake kick which caught the Cobras completely off guard. Gayle completed another pass to Kitchen which was good for the touchdown. The Sharks failed to convert. After the Shark touchdown the Cobras tightened up and allowed very little yardage to be gained. Gayle and Kitchen continued to do some excellent running although they were hampered greatly by the lack of a forward wall.
