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. Seems like old times again for Marilyn M.—No boyfriend! Too late to study now! GREEN LANTERN INN MR. MRS. CLIFFORD MORI HUMBLE SERVICE STATION “PAT” LOWRY HAMLIN'S I. G. A.

NOVEMBER 21, 1949 THE EBB TIDE JOCHKKft « « « WE ARE BOOSTING FOR THE SHARKS FEATHER SON Insurance h x'xxxxX xx x x Xx X.XX x x x K x x X :: History Seven I guess Santa Anna got beat this time! 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?

Roy Wratislaw And Tom Bolling Named On District Grid Team Tom Bolling and Roy Wratislaw were placed on the 40-B all-district team, both representing the Center position. The coaches from the district school did not know which player played the most as the two boys split the offensive time with Wra- islaw playing the most, but Bolling playing all of the defensive line- backing. The Palacios center-post received every vote in the District. Hats off to Mr. Stevenson and his Ag. 1 and 2 boys for their splendid work in building our two shuffleboards. Also to the boys and girls who stood guard while the cement was drying. The H. E. I Girls gave a foot- ball banquet honoring the Junior High football boys on Tuesday, November 22. The menu served to the 50 guests present consisted of meat loaf, can- died sweet potatoes, stuffed celery, orange fruit baskets, coffee and lemon pie. The meal was served on a highly decorated table carrying out the color scheme of blue and white. Small helmets on which the menu and program was written, were placed at the side of every plate. Place cards were tiny goal posts with each boy’s name placed in the center. The Center piece was made up of fall flowers and leaves arranged on each table. The program was carried out very nicely by Marilyn Johnson, mistress of ceremonies. Mr. Burton gave the invocation. Speeches were made by Coach Shelton. Charles Johnson, and Coach Holst. Bob Lowry, who was unable to play this season, was presented a foot- ball signed by the 15 lettermen. In all, we believe our banquet was very successful. We hope ev- eryone enjoyed it as much as we io ed giving it.
