Our team played fine games, winning only one, but we are look- ing forward to the time when we can pick Mickies balls up. The team goes to Garwood Thursday. So far the team is made up of ten girls under the supervision of Mr. Sullivan. We are looking for- ward to having two of the Junior High Girls to come over and play ball.

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.

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.

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. MAKE AN AFTERNOON DATE AT THE Palacios Pharmacy PHONE 151 SUCCESS TO THE SHARKS AND HORNETS H. (. Campbell INSURANCE Don't Print This! I didn’t know Sue Cavallin wore glasses. 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.

THE EBB TIDE NOVEMBER 7, 19 Safety Education Class The Safety Education Class of Junior High was greatly satisfied with the results of the students Tuesday, when they took their dri- ving tests. The three boys to take their driving tests and obtain their licenses were Byron King, who really had been having a time with parallel parking, John Merck and Roy Smith. Paul Penland would have taken the driving test if he had passed his written exam, but he just didn’t seem to know the answers. (He must have got one of the harder tests.) Dolly Milam was really sur- prised that she passed her written test. She had even bet Byron a nickel that she wouldn’t. The class is now studying to be amateur mechanics. I pity mom and dad if anything goes wrong with the car now. Now that some of the Junior High boys have drivers licenses, high school had better be pre- pared for some competition along the bayshore.

There are 28 girls coming out. Next year’s seniors and juniors are surely going to have to work hard to keep their places on the team. We don't know much now but we’re learning. Jr. High 4-H Club On Wednesday, October 26, the Palacios Junior High 4-H Club met with Miss Wells, our 4-H leader. We received our 4-H Club year books and also elected Dor- othy Wilson as our new secretary. Miss Wells appointed demonstr- tors. The Clothing Demonstrators are Louise Jackson, Janell Harvey, and Sidney Johnson. The Food Preparation Demonstrators are Janis Terrebonne, Verdell Cosby, and Frankie Fay Stallard. Frankie Fay and Jeannette Car- ter attended the recreation meet- ing Saturday, October 29, in Bay City. We are looking forward to some interesting reports from them. It is interesting to note that Nellie Thompson, our club presi- dent, was chosen as Gold Star Girl of Matagorda County. She also rode on the 4-H Club float in the Rice Festival Parade at Bay City. Our ever able spies scouted the midnight show on Hallowe’en night. Quite a large crowd attended and everyone was in the Hallowe'en spirit, judging from the unearthly screams that were uttered. On Tuesday, the ones not fortunate enough to go delighted in pointing out the baggy-eyed, fortunate ones. SHARKS— which was recovered by the Yel- lowjackets. Chiles intercepted another pass and ran it back about 30 yards to the ten yard line. In the closing minutes of the game a pass from Gayle to Cairnes was good for the third touchdown of the game. The Sharks failed to convert. On an attempted quick kick the Sharks recovered the ball and went on the march again. Gayle went over for the final touchdown. The game ended 26 to 0.
