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.

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.

F. F. A. News Tom Boling, president, opened the meeting Tuesday, October 11, 1949. After the opening ceremony the program of work for the year was brought up. Franklin Cunning- ham and Iran Mize were appointed to be on the committee to work out a program of work. A pig circle, an Hallowe’en par- ty, and chicken project for two boys were discussed and decided upon. The chapter decided to give a jacket and compact as a gift for the F. F. A. Sweetheart. Alfred M. goes barefooted in history class, but only because he can’t afford shoes. MAKE AN AFTERNOON DATE AT THE Palacios Pharmacy PHONE 151 SUCCESS TO THE SHARKS AND HORNETS H. C. Campbell INSURANCE “A STINKY STORY’ Did you know skunks were get- ting educated also? You didn’t? Neither did I until a little bird whispered in my ear this story. Saturday, it seems our “legisla- ture” was cleaning up under the stage. He pulled out one of those trailers under the stage when laong came Donald Morgan and declared a skunk was under the trailer. There was a question about this and a “debate” went on as to whether there was a skunk under the stage or not. Sure enough, after looking under the trailer the “legislature,” ad- mitting defeat, agreed that a skunk was there. He sent Mrs. Sullivan after his gun. Then he stationed Darleen Wickham at the south door so as no one would come out the door and get shot accidently. He pulled the trailer along slowly to the south door of the gym. Donald and Pete Aparacio stepped on one end thus raising up the other end. The skunk ran out the south door and Mr. Sullivan, standing by the door, shot the poor educated skunk. Now, the sixty-four dollar ques- tion is how are we going to evacu- ate the other members of the skunk family out of the school house ? Any solutions will be greatly appreciated.
