THE EBB TIDE NOVEMBER 21, 19 THE POOP FROM THE GROUP We wonder if we won’t see D. W. at the Baptist Church more fre- quently. Could it be because of Lynn R. ? Mr. Orr quite frequently gets into embarrassing situations—such as in the Sophomore Class meet- ing! How did John Gayle and Peggy Miller enjoy the carnival Monday night? Good—Hmmmmm? I wonder if it really was nec- essary for Louise H. to go to see her sister at Junior High, could it have been that she wanted to see Bob Lowry who had recently returned to school? What’s this I hear about a cer- tain sophomore boy jumping over the board you lean against in the back of the show to sit by a cute little junior girl? How about it, Lois C., could all of this be true? Wonder why a certain little sen- ior girl kept hiding a ring for so long. Gosh, Bobbie, why not bring it on out in the open. Seems as though everyone does think it is a very beautiful ring although it is from the Bay City High School. Twin—what did Mr. House say to you after the game about drop- ping your baton during the march ? Could it have been that some one, an Aggie perhaps, was on the sideline watching, and you became just a little too nervous. Have you heard the news the shorthand students are spreading about Mr. Orr giving the dicta- tion so fast that you can’t under- stand, much less write. Hey, man, don’t you think you had better slow that down or people are go- ing to think that you are telling off on yourself. Try listening to Martha H. some- time. You find out more things that way. Just the other day I MAKE AN AFTERNOON DATE AT THE Palacios Pharmacy PHONE 151 RECIPE 1 cup personality; cup popularity; A pinch of good looks; 1 tablespoon of wit; Mixed with “neat dressing” And what do you have???? The ideal boy date, really! I like a boy who keeps you guessing, One who’s hep to a real jam session, One who’s naturally good humored and frank. That’s the guy I’d give top rank! Tall, dark, but not too handsome; Full of vim, one who can dance some; Not a wolf, but not too shy; Not too mushy, but a regular guy. |K X KK« K.S XXX X X XX XX «X XX'XXX SUCCESS TO THE SHARKS ANI) HORNETS H. (. Campbell 1 INSURANCE £ heard her say that she and her boy friend almost broke up. Martha, you had better watch out because watches like you’re wearing don’t grow on trees. What’s our school coming to? All these past years I’ve been hearing about senior boys going to junior high to find a girl friend but it seems that a senior girl is trying that out. What about it, Mary Ellen? We are wondering if the notes Irene G. and Donny K. write in history class will go down in his- tory. The F. H. A. girls want to thank Mr. Sullivan very much for an- nouncing the FHA Beau, Lynn Ramsey. Who were those two good look- ing women who were escorting Mr. Carvin to the Port Lavaca football game? We’re getting jealous. Two people only need one pair of glasses when Evelyn T. is with Paul M. Dora Ann S. and Coy R. would really have had fun at the show Sunday night if it hadn’t been for her little cousin. Wonder who Billy H. is breaking his heart about now? We wish James M. and Betty H. would connect passes and quit hav- ing interference from the rival team. Who has Dimples (Carol C.) set her cap for? B. C. We see that the city is putting up light posts along the bay shore now. They can leave them out along the shell pile as far as we are concerned, can’t they Mr. Carvin and Coach Holst.

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. What kind of a ring is that on your left hand, Billy Ann?

Smart Sam Houston outwitted him at San Jacinto and caught him asleep. Santa Anna wasn't fair in sign- ing a treaty, and then not keeping his promises. He made a mistake in starting back to Mexico without all of his army, because when he won one or two of the most im- portant battles, it made the Texans more determined to beat him. They finally did too. If it had not been for Sam Houston, Texas might have still belonged to Mex- ico. Was the capitol of Texas moved in 1839 or 1856? Phil Richman ought to know.

GREEN — PHONE 6 L Around The Hornet Clubhouse By COACH GEO. D. HOLST, III The footballs have been stored away, and another successful sea- son is under our belts. The Hornets record shows five wins and two defeats for the sea- son and a percentage of .714. Our 1950 team played Tidehaven last week and came out on the top of a 14-to-6 score. LeRoy Smith showed everyone he can catch a pass by setting up the Hornet’s first touchdown on a nice run after he had caught a pass. Hubert Bowers was the star for the Hornets because of his fine defensive game at his guard pos- ition. A girls volleyball league has be- gun play during the noon hour, thanks to the efforts of Mrs. Sulli- van. There are ten teams in the league with each having 9 games. The entire schedule has 45 games on the card. The team names vary from the “Hustlers” to the “Bobby Soxers.” Ninth Grade Chatter The Ninth Grade girls really get out and worked when they were told what the prize for the mag- azine contest was to be. Since the prize was to be a pic- ture show, the question between the girls is what picture they want to see. A few have been named. Among these are “The Outlaw,” “Forever Amber,” and “Gone With the Wind.” The girls turned in $290.90, which was half of all the money turned in. The Freshman Class held their first meeting Tuesday, November 14. The meeting was held to elect the class officers of 1949. The officers are as follows: Gail Sexton, president; Byron King, vice president; Bob Lowry, secretary and treasurer; Johnnie McDaniel, reporter. It really is nice to see Bob back in school again. Joy D. thinks it’s more fun after the games than during the games. The Dirt Column Coach Holst is very happy since he has a new 1950 Buick. On the morning he got it, he even took Marilyn Johnson, Gail Sexton, and Colleen Treacy to school. (How low can tyou get?) But seriously, though, he is really more popular with the young ladies of the town, namely J. E. Could it be wedding bells? Pete S. (the school's greatest athlete) gave all his pictures to the Eighth Grade girls. How do they manage it? B. K. just can’t seem to keep his eyes off of C. T. when she wears a sweater. There is a battle raging between D. R. and M. R. H. over some high school boy, namely J. K. J. W. says she will not give her opinion on going steady. I wonder why? What does a big freshman like P. C. see in that little ole’ Seventh Grader Prentice G.? The erasers have really been flying in Safety Education Class, and Dolly Milam seems to be right there to catch them. One, however, she caught in the eye. You’re not a very straight shot, arc you, John?
