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.

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.

PALACIOS HIGH SCHOOLS VOLUME 1 PUBLISHED BY P. H. S. STUDENT BODY NUMBER 5 HORNETS WIN DISTRICT TITLE The Palacios Jr. High Hornets romped over the Louise Mud Dob- bers 24 to 0, and splashed to a 13 to 0 victory over the Port Lavaca Sand-Fiddlers to take the Jr. High District Championship. These vic- tories made the Hornet’s ninth and tenth in the two years of their ac- tive competition. They have onlyl lost four games and tied one in these same two years. The scores in the Louise game were made by Sardelich two. Cog- burn one, and Humble one. In the Port Lavaca game Sardelich tal- lied both touchdowns. In both games the fine defensive line play was the big factor in winning the game. Hornet Letter men In the line the lettermen were Clint Wratislaw, Roy Smith, Don Johnson, Hubert Bowers, Boyd “Tiny” Foltyn, and Byron King. The backfield lettermen who were led by Pete “Slicky” Sardelich were Bill Cogburn. Bob Humble, Ralph Clements, Bill Kennedy, and Dick Bolling. Only Wratislaw, Bowers, Foltyn, Johnson, Bolling and Kennedy will return to the Hornets next season. The smoke between J. Me. and S. S. seems to be a fire now. Im- portant question raised by the two are how long will it last, and, where is J. K.? Popular Girls And Boys Selected At Junior High School The contest to select the two most popular boys and girls in Palacios Junior High ended October 28 at 3:15 p.m. To the pupils of Junior High, it had been a night- mare of trying to get their allow- onces in order to give a few more votes to the candidate of their choice. It might be added that most of the attempts were unsuccessful. The candidates were as follows: 9th Grade Girls—Barbara Gayle and Johnnie “Spider” McDaniel; 9th Grade Boys—Ralph Clement and Charles Harvey; 8th Grade Girls—Bonnie Harvey and Vernon Moore; 8th Grade Boys—Dick Boll- ing and Boyd Foltyn; 7th Grade Girls—Jeanette Carter and Phyl- lis Wratts; 7th Grade Boys—Bobby Bashaw and Claude Humble. The winners, in order, were Bar- bara Gayle and Vernon Moore. Boy winners were Claude Humble and Tiny Foltyn. Most ninfh graders are still shaking their heads dazedly and asking, “What happened.” Then they remember the cheer leader elections and smile. On Monday, October 31, our an- nual magazine sale started off with a bang. The Junior High School pupils mottoes are now: “One contest after the other,” and “Money, Money, Money!” BEAT PORT LAVACA! SHARKS DEFEAT GANADO, 7 TO 6 The Sharks journeyed to Ganado to play their third game on the road. They came out on top after losing two straight games to In- dustrial and Yorktown. The Sharks got off to a slow start when they drew three clipping penalties early in the first quarter. The entire quarter was played in Palacios territory and most of the time the Indians were inside the twenty-yard line. In the second period the Sharks went on the offensive. They were on the one yard line when the In- dians held for downs. The Indians promptly kicked out and the Sharks lost no time. Gayle threw a pass to Rodriquez which he caught, fumbled, slipped, and recaught just inches from the goal- line. On the next play Sonny Chiles went over for the only Shark touch- down. Gayle converted and the Sharks were ahead 7-0. The Indians took to the air in the second half almost completely and finally scored on a long pass over the line. Their failure to make the extra point cost them the game. The Sharks again went over in the fourth quarter but the play was called back because of an off- side penalty. Twice during this last quarter the Sharks were down on the Ganado one-yard line but could not gather that extra push for the score. Sharks Win Final Home Game From Runge With 26-0 Score In the last home game of the season the Sharks met the Runge Yellowjackets, basement team of District 40-B. Although the Runge team is on the bottom they are a scrappy team. The first quarter the Sharks got off to a slow start. Several penalties, little blocking, and in- juries kept the Sharks from going over. Gayle went over once, near the end of the first quarter, but was called back because of a hold- ing penalty. The second quarter the Sharks began to get warmed up. The back- fiield got the much needed block- ing and Gayle and Chiles started driving. With a pass from Gayle to Rodriguez the first score was set up. Gayle went over on the next play. Gayle also converted which brought the score to 7-0. In the second half the Yellow- jackets kicked off to the Sharks. Bowers received the ball and made a very nice 25-yard gain. Gayle went over again but was called back because he was run out of bounds. Bolling intercepted a pass near the end of the quarter. Again in the third quarter Bolling inter- cepted a pass which was followed with a pass from Gayle to Cairncs which was good for 20 yards. The Yellowjackets seemed to put up a stone wall and held for a kickout (See “SHARKS,” Back Page) THE PALACIOS HIGH SCHOOL BAND
