SW EETHEART AND BEAU— The two swell kids pictured above are Jeanette Williams, F. F.A. Sweetheart, and Lynn Ramsey, F.H.A. Beau. The Council Reports The Student Council held a short meeting on December 6. We as- sessed fines on two broken ping- pong paddles. A school dance was discussed and Mrs. Smith told us that the F.H.A. wanted to sponsor a school affair. The Student Coun- cil hopes to sponsor a Spring Dance.—Reporter. At nine o’clock Friday night, De- cember 30, 1949, the gym of “Ole Palacios High’’ was filled with her students and ex-students from as far back as 1928. As the Legion- naires began the music the dance Orchid Of The Week Goes To Mrs. Smith. There are no words that could express our thanks enough to Mrs. Smith for working and planning wilFngly for our “Homecoming Dance.” The day of the dance she had but very few helpers to help her decorate and prepare the refresh- ments. She is also to be praised for managing to get the Legion- naires to donate their time and services for us students. Again, each and everyone of us say, “Orchids to you. Mrs. Smith, for being such a grand person.” The staff wishes to apologize to Bobbie Joyce Harvey for omitting | her name from the “A” Honor Roll last six weeks. floor was soon filled with all the familiar faces that were once part of the everyday life of Palacios High. This was the first Homecoming Dance in the history of the Pala- cios High School. The gym was gayly decorated with the school colors, maroon and white. Nifty Fifty was written on the west wall with the school colors, also stream- ers from the sides of the walls to the center of the gym added color. At the very center hung colored balloons filled with confetti which soon showered down on everyone. All in all, if the ole gym could talk it would probaby say, “That’s the gayest time I’ve seen in many a day.” During the intermission Geneva Huddleston, Lucille Michalik, and I Peggy Miller sang “Someday” and I “Sentimental Journey.” We were also proud to have as our guesl Mrs. Santiago Llado from Shang- hai. China, who is a concert pian- ist. She played several Russian and French selections for us and also one of her own. W'hen the members of the classes representing the graduating classes were called we found that our own legislature, Mr. W’eldon Sullivan, represented the class farthest hack. And of course there were repre- sentatives of the graduating class o 1949 for the youngest class. Since we didn’t want this year’s graduating class to feel left out, the class of 1950 was also recog- nised. You should have heard the yells and whistles. After refreshments of spiced tea and sandwiches the crowd danced for several more hours. An ex- hibition dance was put on by Mr. and Mrs Orr and Mr. and Mrs. “Sharky” Shelton. You would nev- er have thought Coach and Mr. Orr had that much energy. The cheenng really started when tve Legionnaires plaved “Aggie iVar Hymn.” and “The Eyes of Texas”; for many graduates of P. II. S. were cheering for their new Alma Maters. As the clock struck twelve and the old familiar strains of “Home Sweet Home” began, the couples left in hopes that there would be other Homecoming Dances ,in the future.

A little bird told us that the gym is available for a school dance whenever the student body wants it, and whenever the student coun- cil will sponsor it. The roving re- porter snooped around, and here are the results: Kenneth R.: It would be a very good deal. Irene G.: Yes, definitely, we should have a dance. Roy W.: It would be O. K. if the kids would come. Doris S.: It would be great because it would be a good chance for all the kids getting together more. Bobbie H.: I haven’t learned how to dance yet but a dance would be a good way for others to learn and be more interested in future dances. Mr. Sullivan: I would like very much to see school dances, and would like more to see student in- terest in them. Mary G.: It’s a good way for all the kids to get together and have fun. Gladys D.: I do not dance but personally I believe it would be better entertainment for high school students than lots of things. Carroll C.: Yes, I hink it would be a good idea. Lynn R.: I think it would be a good idea although I can’t dance. You have the answers now; what are we waiting for? Who knows, maybe it will be a Christ- mas Dance. Who is the little carrot top Bar- bara G. has been seen with lately? It couldn’t be Charles H., could it Gail? Clint W. hasn’t been getting much sleep lately. The reason is that he and Vadis have been having it round and round. B. K. and Bonnie H. seem to get along very well together. They make a cute couple. Why is D. R. so lonesome and blue? Her friends are all girls! (A sad state.) She and V. B. seem to always be together, reading and writing notes. Patsy W., what happened to the romance between you and Pete S. ? Maybe he became more interested in Judy B. it PETERSEN’S I CAFE 416 Main St. Volleyball Game The Palacios volleyball girls went to Louise for their sixth non-dis- trict volleyball game. The “B” team started out with a score of 6-0 in our favor but our girls came out with the wrong end of the score at the end of the first game. The second game was a tough one for the Louise “B” team to win. Our girls really got into the spirit of the game and proved tough competition, but not quite enough to beat the Louise “B.” The second game proved that our “A” team really has team work and spirit as Palacios won 16-10. It was a very exciting game ac- companied by much cheering and comment from the sidelines. Pa- lacios was all set to win the third game after a pep talk from their coach, Mr. Sullivan, but something happened early in the game that caused our girls to let Louise win with a score of 15-6.

THE EBB TIDE JANUARY 9, I960 EIGHTH GRADE HISTORY Mr. Willenberg told ua that we would have a test in history Jan- uary 5, unless it freezes, so every- one beg the ole weather man to let it freeze. P. S.: It did. The history professor promised G. J. and A. B. he wouldn’t order them to exchange desks with some- one if they promised to be quiet for “a change.” Are you girls? TEXAS HISTORY In Texas History we get jest, And have some time to dream. To learn, wre do our very best And always get the cream. We use psychology to a certain extent. And keep the general trend. When our minimum is spent, Our Texas History ends. ANSWERS TO QUIZ George Chiles, Mr. Harbison, Mr. Orr, Mr. House, Arthur Lenz, Anita Newsom. Jeanette Williams said her great- est desire was to dance with Glenn McCarthy while she is in Califor- nia. Did you get to, Jeanette? What little junior thinks that a little senior is “so strong”? We can’t tell the seniors name, but his initials are Pee Wee Abraham.

H. S. Xmas Party Ole Saint Nick wasn’t present in body but was surely present in spirit as the students met in the gymnasium on Friday, December 16. The program opened with the group singing Christmas Carols led by our Frank Sinatra alias Mr. Stevenson. Ginger Richards sang “All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth.” Santa Claus, in the form of six senior girls, handed out the pres- ents. Then cokes, apples, oranges, and candy bars were passed out to the students as their good-byes (for the holidays). How did Marilyn J. finally get the car Sunday? If you find any torn up cars or other items, you’ll know she happened to be driving by. While we’re on the subject, we wonder why a certain boy visiting her house was so interested in Gail S.? It really gave Gail a thrill. (She needs one.) Who is it that B. Gayle likes at Jr. High now? Could it be “Red”? The new girl, Barbara T., seems to have made a big hit with all of the boys, especially Bill K. Well, now that Chrismas is over there probably will be lots of girls with dates. Friday night, Bonnie Harvey was a lonely little petunia because Bill Kennedy had to stay at home and baby sit. What would you think if you nicked up a newspaper and saw this: Wanted—a strong man to milk and drive a Ford car? We have been studying punctuation, and find that without correct punc- tuation you may misread some sentences. Here’s a story that’s been handed down for generations: It seems that the “legislature” of P. H. S. was making the following impor- tant announcement to the student body: “I have decided to stop all necking on the school campus.” Met by a gale of laughter, Mr. Carvin. somewhat flustered, popred out, “Furthermore, all the kiss’ng that’s been going on right under my nose must be stopped immed- iately.” X X X X XX XXX X X X XX XX XX XX X XX X x; x PETERSEN’S CAFE 416 Main St. I Resolve Lurlean S.: To live a better life for the Lord. Bobby H.: To study more (Ha Ha). Gladys S.: To be good in all my classes and not to laugh in them. Mr. Sullivan: I resolve to try to teach my Aeronautics Class more. Joyce W.: I resolve to try not to be so dumb. Jeanette W.: Hang up my clothes. Ann W.: To keep from losing my temper. Virginia S.: Stop eating candy. James P.: No more cigarettes. Carolyn B.: Stop being so bit- ter. Shearer’s home was rollicking with stumbling couples on Christ- mas Eve. Who was the “Little Red-head” Robert L. was seen in the show with while M. L.
