THE EBB TIDE NOVEMBER 7. 19 The Council Reports Those attending the Student Council meeting in Victoria were Bobbie Harvey, John Gayle, Buddy Crawford and Margaret Ann Hols- wortb, secretary of the Gulf Coast area councils. The main topic of discussion was the coming State and National Con- vention to be held In Abilene, Tex- as and Denver, Colorado. The purpose of these meetings is to discuss the problems and func- tions of Student Council and we always keep in mind the main ob- ject which is the betterment of our schools. Interesting reports given to the Association were those of Victoria and El Campo who had visited Thomas Jefferson and Houston University Student Councils to ob- serve their ways of operation. James Spruiel Is In John Sealy Hospital In the Yorktown game, James Spruiel received a badly fractured knee. He is now in John Sealy Hospital in Galveston. With a smaij steel rod through his ankle and a series of pullies and weights a trac- tion is formed pulling the bone back into place. James is expected to be in Gal- vesto for eight to ten “mere” weeks but we’re sure he won’t mind it with all his pretty nurses waiting on him. Coach Shelton and a few of the football boys went to Galveston Monday to see how he was getting along. They took him a typewriter and his books. I’m sure a few letters would look good to a guy lying flat on his back with nothing to do. Let’s write to him, folks! His address is James Spruiel, Ward 5, John Sealy Hospital, Gal- veston, Texas.

Every Friday night at the football games she grabs some- ones glasses. We can't imagine who she’s trying to see. Sue, monoculars would be better. Tom B. got a lot of wear out of his junior pin. He thinks it s worth it. Mr. Orr states that he gets much pleasure out of the “smart” pupils in his commercial law class. Ginger Richards was recently try- ing to sell her dog. She wrote an ad in the paper that went like this: “Large dog for sale. Will eat anything. Especially fond of chil- dren.” During the last storm the school flagpole was knocked down. The officials just ran a rope through Sonny Chiles’ nose and used him for the pole. Ann W. and Buddy C. left the party rather early Saturday night. We heard Buddy say, “Ann, darling, that sure is good-looking lipstick you have on.” Sue and Lou Cavallin are plan- ning to be models. They say their favorite will be French bathing suits and other handkerchiefs. A grey Hudson passed the kids on the band and pep-squad bus on the way home from the Ganado game. We are sure Susie was in there but we thought Edwin might have let his hair grow long on the right side. Ain’t love grand? The following conversation was recently overheard on the football field in a scrimmage: Buddy C. to a comrade-in-arms: “Sometimes I find it hard to remember that this is fun.” We wonder why Roy Markwardt was so nervous Saturday night. He sure was dressed up! Lon C. sure was happy last week- end. We can’t understand why, can EIGHTH GRADE HAPPENINGS “The British are coming!” cried Paul Revere as he rode through the streets of Lexington and Concord. This is all we seem to hear in history class. But then, everybody seems to be interested in the les- sons except “Tiny”1 Foltyn, who thinks it’s great fun to write on his desk. Note: Duck season opens No- vember 4, 1949. Mr. Smith is not expected to be at school for at least two weeks after the fateful date. Wanted: A very large can of varnish, a few pieces of sandpaper and any girl or boy who is ready to do manual labor. If anybody is interested (which they won’t be) please contact “Tiny” (mark-on- desks-or-bust) Foltyn. Wanted: A short boy with brown hair and eyes is needed desperately by a blonde’headed eighth grade girl. He must be a tennis fan and have a friend named Kenneth. If he is interested, answer in the next edition. LET— PHENIX PHIL Your CHEEKS With ROSE HUSAK MOTOR Cd PLYMOUTH and DESOTO PARTS AND ACCESSORIES TEXACO PRODUCTS WICKHAM PLUMBING CO. PALACIOS, TEXAS THE PEACOCK 8TH GRADE H. E. PARTY In playing cross words and crooked answers at the party, Joyce W. was rather embarassed at the answer she had to give, “My horse won’t run fast enough.” What was the question? Martha H. has been flashing a pretty gold watch on her wrist lately. It’s not too large, is it Martha? All we hear is Carolyn wishing school would hurry and be out. She must have big plans. Watch out Lowell! SEE BEN FRANKLIN STORE FOR YOUR School Supplies The Home Economics Needle and Grill Club had a Hallowe’en party on October 26, 1949. After games, we had delicious refreshments of devil’s food cake and white cake contributed by Marilyn Milam and Dana Kay Paris respectively. The girls tried breaking a pin- anta, and although some were quite heavy, it was not broken and they finally had to open it. Our thanks go to Marilyn Milam Ann Brandon, Dana Paris, and Bonnie Hardy. All the girls say Lynn R. is getting better looking every day. Swoon, Swoon. Coach is progressing quite well with his driving course. Some of the kids will soon be able to keep the car on the road. Good work, coach.

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

Ill Over here in the “old red for- tress” everyone is very happy over the Hornet’s latest victories over the Louise Mud Dobbers and the Port Lavaca Sandfiddlers. The 24 to 0 victory over Louise not only gave the Hornets another “feather in their caps” but the whole war- bonnet in the form of a District Championship. We are going to miss our back- field led by Pete Sardelich, the speed merchant, who was a big factor in all Hornet victories. The backfield was rounded out by Bill Cogbum, Bob Humble, and Ralph Clement. Also greatly missed will be our fine linemen “Red” Harvey, Jim Shearer, Robert Linton, and Roy Smith. Our loss will be the Sharks gain as they really stay in a good family, only a step higher. On November 10. when the 1950 model of the Hornet football team comes off the production line, they will meet the strong Tidehaven team. Tidehaven has defeated such teams as the El Campo Birdlets who are strong this year. In the backfield, the Hornets will be led by Bill “Doaker” Kennedy, full- back Dick Bolling and tailback Clint “Choo-Choo” Wratislaw. In the line guard Hubert Bowers and Don Johnson will be regulars. My predictions for the coming games arc Sharks 13, Port Lavaca 12; Hornets 12. Tidehaven 7. THE EBB TIDE F. H. A. And F. F. A. Hallowe'en Party Many members and their dates were present at the F. H. A. and F. F. A. Hallowe'en Party Satur- day night. We played games like “Guess Whose Nose,” “Relay Race,” “Cross Questions,” and “Crooked Answers” and some even danced. Sam and Betty Humble were the center of attraction while dancing. “By the way, Florence, who was that boy with the patch on his eye?” Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson and children were the guests of honor. Boys, those delicious sandwiches were made by the FHA girls. Cookies, lemonade, potato chips, and fritos were also served. The VFW Hall was very cleverly decorated. Lots of thanks to the boys and girls who helped decorate it. BEAT PORT LAVACA! COMPLIMENTS OF GUY CLAYBOURN'S CONOCO STATION 801 MAIN PHONE 199 Ag I Elects Officers The Ag.
