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.

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.

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.

Do you (ret tired of walking the streets and looking for something to do? If you would like a chance to Po somewhere instead of sitting at home, then the VFW has come to your aid. Every other Saturday, twice a month, the VFW Hall opens its doors and welcomes any teen- ape boy or girl to an evening full f fun. A week ago Saturday was the first night the Hall was open to reen-Agers exclusively. The junior high had pretty strong presentation, but the high school, for some reason or other, was acking in attendance. Looks kinda bad. doesn’t it? Surely the high school isn’t going to let the junior high get the bet- ter of it? You know the old saying, “It’s the early teener who has the fun. Or is it, “First come, first to have fun”? At any rate the VFW hes of- fered to provida a hall o’ fun for us and if we don’t show our apprecia- tion we might find ourselves wit nothing to do again, but sit around home all night. There’s plenty to do down there, so watch for those fun-packed Sat- urday nights. Let’s see everyone at the VFW Hall o’ Fun on our nights. SHARKS COMPLETE 1949 GRID SEASON WITH 0-0 TIE WITH PORT LAVACA Hornets Stop Tidenhaven 14-6 For over half the ball game the Hornets and Tidehaven juniors bat- tled in a scoreless deadlock. In the third quarter the Hornets sparked by Wratislaw’s pass to LeRoy Smith scored on the hard-off tackle running of “Choo-Choo‘ Wratis- law. The extra point was added on a pass from “Doaker” Kennedy to Wratislaw. In the fourth quarter the Hornets again scored when Dick Bolling rode the blocks of “Tiny” Foltyn and Bob Bashaw over the double- stripe. Alfred Manning plunged over for the extra point. Some fine offensive running was shown by Eugene Zameneck and Dick Bolling. On defense Paul Guttenberger, Pat McDonald, Hu- bert Bowers and Don Johnson were the most outstanding. Hornets Thump Van Vleck'B'36 To 15 In Basketball Opener In the first basketball game of the season the Palacios Jr. High Hornets rolled and rolled Wednes- day night. November 16th, over the Van Vleck High School “B” team on Van Vleck’s home court. In the first quarter the Hornets racked up 8 points, then slowed down to only four points in the second quarter. The half time score was 12 to 6 with the Hornets leading. In the third quarter the Hornets dropped another 10 points into the sack and in the last quarter threw everything but the referee in to tally 14 more points. Center “Slicky” Sardelich led the scoring with 16 points. Forward “Red” Harvey and guard “Choo- Choo’ Wratislaw were next with six points each, and forward Bill Cogburn and guard “Doaker” Ken- nedy sacked four joints each. The final score was 36 to 15 with the Hornets on top. In the game between the Hor- net’s second team and the Van Vleck Jr. High first team the Van Vleck team won 22 to 12. The Palacios Sharks met the Port Lavaca Sandcrabs November 11, 1949, at Port Lavaca in the last game of the season for the Sharks. This was the second do or die game for the Sharks this sea- son. The Sandcrabs kicked off to the Sharks. After the ball was run back about 50 yards it was fumbled, ruining the best chance of scoring the Sharks had. The Sandcrabs pushed their way to the inch line, where the Sharks held for downs and a kickout. But again the Sandcrabs knocked on the door but couldn’t cross the goal line to pay dirt. On a fake kick the Sharks gained about 20 yards. On the next play Gayle completed a pass to Bowers which was good for a first. The Sharks went to the 35 yard line before the Sandcrabs inter- cepted a pass. For the third time the Sand- crabs visited in Palacios territory pushing the ball down to the one- yard line. And again the Sharks held for downs. The third quarter saw the Sharks and the Sandcrabs open up on aerial offense both gaining yard- age; however, the Sharks were more successful in their passing. Neither team took many long chances and both teams were de- termined to keep the other from scoring. And as a result both teams played heads-up ball and the fans were treated to some fine exhibi- tions of tackling and running. Goody! No school Thurs. or Fri. The Council Reports The Student Council met Wed- nesday and finished electing offi- cers: President, Margaret Ann Holsworth; Vice-President, George Chiles; Secretary-Treasurer, Bobby Joyce Harvey; and Reporter, Flor- ence Goppert. We discussed ways of preserv- ing the ping-pong equipment and the organization of an archery club. It was voted that all those wishing to join the club would sign a reg- ister and pay a fee of twenty-five cents per year to their class rep- resentatives. The meeting was then adjourned. —Reporter.
