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. FRANKLIN RECEIVES HONOR Franklin Cunningham was named Historian of Area III at a meeting held Wednesday night, October 19, 1949 at the Wharton School. SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS—Left to right, Colleen Talmadge, Nelson Thompson, Phyllis Holsworth. 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. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS—Left to right, Darleen Wickham, Franklin Cunningham, Lynn Ramsey, Kenneth Rampmeier. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS—Left to right, Thomas Holsworth, Senora Navarro, Dean Merck, John Gayle, Charles Bowers.

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 EBB TIDE OCTOBER 24, 1949 BIBLE The Bible Class of 17 students is well under way with Rev. Har- ris as the “slave driver.” It is slowly coming to light that the characters of biblical times haven't changed much in the pres- ent day. For example: our Bobby Hix would be another King Solo- mon if it wasn’t for the Texas marriage laws. Goppert could be another Isaac with his meek and romantic nature. We have discov- ered that Evelyn Tillery is an- other Rebekah waiting for her Isaac to come along. (Could it be?) Seriously, we are learning things that will be of much use to use in in the years to come in leading a good moral life. JOKE OF THE WEEK Freshman: “Please, Mama, let me go out tonight.” Sophomore: “May I go out to- night? The show is over at ten.” Junior: “I’m going out tonight, Dad.” Senior: “Good night folks. I’ll bring in the milk.” PALACIOS CLEANERS ELI MAYFIELD BRANDON'S Dry Goods - Shoes Notions - Hats PALACIOS, TEXAS KED’S TENNIS SHOES SCHOOL SUPPLIES i«ga«agaQ»pag P9 n MADDOX MOTOR (0. Phone 323 or 324 AMERICAN HISTORY Whew! That history is coming thick and fast. Name the thirteen original colonies, their founders and their dates. Name the eight colleges founded before the revolu- tion and their dates. Can you do it? Well if. you can’t you had bet- ter start studying, American His- tory of 1950-51, cause you will get them sure as the world. We are really learning a great deal about the way our forefathers lived and dressed; the way our government was formed. Sometimes it makes us glad that we live now instead of then. By the way, ask Joyce Woodland if she knows which way the Hudson River flows. HIGH SCHOOL BAND NEWS For the third consecutive year, the Palacios High School Band par- ticipated in the Rice Festival Pa- rade at Bay City. Promptly at 10 a.m., October 8th, the parade started from the U. S. O. Building and marched around the square and ended at the Water Tower. For the Palacios Band, it was an unusual day, as one of our major- ettes, Jeanette Williams, had been chosen to reign as Queen of the Festival. Inasmuch as she was Queen, it was the duty of our band to march as Queen’s escort. The Bay City Band marched in our regular place to fill in while we had the honor position. Natur- ally Palacios was stepping high be- cause it was quite thrilling to see our own girl reigning over all. THE ALGEBRA PSALM (Dedicated to Mr. Smith from his algebra classes.) He is my teacher; I shall not pass He maketh me to find the value of “X,” He giveth me zero. He maketh me to go to the board in the presence of my classmates; He giveth me “F.” He compelleth me to sit down for my class’ sake; Yea, though I should study until midnight, I shall gain no know- ledge! And I shall dwell in the Algebra Class forever! SAFETY FACTOR Mr. Shelton, please make room in your Driver’s Education class for Jimmy Kitchens. We love our love classmates. PETERSEN’S CAFE 416 Main St. SPORTSMANSHIP What happened to all our senior high sportsmanship? Seems as though some people think a table tennis game should be played with a volley ball, at least they kept throwing them up on the stage. Some one ought to tell these “good sportsmen” that it’s rather con- fusing to play table tennis with several volley balls whizzing across the table. BEAT GANADO! BEAT GANADO! GREEN LANTERN INN MR.
