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?

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.

THE EBB TIDE NOVEMBER 21, 11 Shuffle Board For AG I And II Classes Two shuffle board courts are be- ing built south west of the high school by the Ag. I and II classes. The foundation and forms are ready for concrete on the first court, and the second is under con- struction. Work would progress much faster if students would quit walking on the forms. The courts will be 52 feet long and six feet wide. Part of the Ag. II class was out of working condition one day last week because of “chewing tobacco.” It seems the boys were trying to be real farmers. Moral: “A good thing can be carried too far.” Another handicap is that we have too many engineers and not enough workers. What have the Eighth Grade girls done to make Bill K. so angry at them? Maybe they stole one too many boys for their own good. PALACIOS CLEANERS ELI MAYFIELD BRANDON'S Dry Goods - Shoes Notions - Hats PALACIOS, TEXAS KED’S TENNIS SHOES SCHOOL SUPPLIES MADDOX MOTOR CO. Phone 323 or 324 3BB8HBBBR8EBBn We Killed The Jinx! Thursday night—if you weren’t with us when we burned the jinx you sure missed something. It sure looked good seeing “Port Lavaca going up in ashes.” The band, pep squad, and foot- ball boys and anyone else that wanted to come along, started out from the high school and marched down town. The parade was led by the football boys carrying the huge jinx which had Port Lavaca writ- ten all over it. When we reached town we marched from there to the bay- shore, where we built a huge bon- fire. Amid the crackling of the flames our old school yell rang out and then Roy Wesselman, one of our “Sharks,” made an ash out of Port Lavaca. It sure looked good to see it burning. It must have done some good too, because the Sharks real- ly held those Sandcrabs down Fri- day night. After some more yells and songs the band played “Tiger Rag,” and the majorettes presented a tricky little twirl and that was that. We think the rally was really a success and we want to tell the Sharks that we’re really proud of them. If ever you played a good game of ball it was definitely Fri- day night. Since this is some of the Sharks and Shark Boosters last year in school and I think they’ll all want me to add— Good Luck Sharks of 1950! CORRECTION, PLEASE The Beacon is on bended knee to the Ebb Tides. Last week we omitted tjiree of the Hornet foot- ball lettermen from the paper. They are Charles Harvey, Robert Linton and Jimmy Shearer. Could it be that Sonny Chiles is taking Commercial Law because the word “Sue” is ued frequently? On him we gaze, and our surprise Increases every minute. That Mr. Stevenson’s skull. Which seems so full. Should have so little in it. Gloria J. and Boyd F. sure were having a good time in the show Saturday night! Huh, Tiny? PETERSEN’S CAFE 416 Main St. WEDDING BELLS . . . Wedding bells will be ringing soon for two of our beloved high school students. The surest way to win a woman’s heart is to take aim, “Neeley.” It seems as if Mary Evelyn has already begun to think about the grocery bill; she put Robert to work in Partain’s Food Market.
