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.

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.

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.

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.

That's all I hear just maps! “Keneth, do you have your map of the missions in East Texas?” “No sir, I lost the outline map of Texas that I had.” How came so many people down here in Texas? says Mr. Harbison and “How came Texas to be what it is today?” is just what we are trying to learn. The favorite words of many a Texas History student are “I don’t know that one, Mr. Harbi- son.” We are talking quite a bit now but we have to be careful not to awaken Dan, Roy, and Kenneth.

GREEN — PHONE 6 —SEE OUR COMPLETE LINE OF TOYS— Around The Hornet' Clubhouse By COACH GEO. D. HOLST. Ill The Hornet stung a big cat, in fact a great big cat last week. That sting caused the big cat to claw the Hornet five times. That sting also cost the Hornet his second defeat at the hands of the Black Kittens. I guess that’s enough crying about the Hornet’s troubles. In the girls softball league the Yankees won first place, Sluggers seconds, and Panthers third. The captains and their teams in the new Vol-Ten league are Dorothy Wickham’s “Killers,” Estelle Wil- liams’ “Spikers,” and Alta Marie Hamlin’s “Bulldogs.” My predictions are as follows: Sharks 13, Ganado 7; Sharks 20, Runge 7; Hornets 25, Port Lavaca 13.
