THE EBB TIDE SEPTEMBER 12, 1949 A New School Year This year marks the beginning of a new organization in our school— a school newspaper. It will consist of news from both senior and jun- ior high and will be published once every two weeks. In each school we have an editor, chief assistant editor, and other as- sistant editors. There will be re- porters from each department in school, such as the home economics, history, and science departments At the end of the school year all editions of the newspaper will be made »n o our school annual. “The Ebb Tide. We have all been eager to see the first edition and hope that this and all the future editions, will be a great success. We are counting on each and everv student to help make “The Ebb Tide a worthwhile project. The newspaper isn’t the only new thing around school, however. As you come through the front en- trance now you are immediately im- pressed by the trophv cases. These cases were donated by the Senior Class of 1948-49 and we are indeed grateful. New ventilating fans have added to the comfort of classes be- ing held in the classrooms in the north end of the building. Already there seems to be differences of opinions as to how the fans are supposed to work. You should see our H. E. cottage now. During the summer it was completely remodeled. Many fav- orable comments have been made about the improvements in the cot- tage, although the girls still com- plain about having to wash dishes. So, all in all. this is truly a new school year. We even have some new teachers and pupils. Anyone can tell that the sophomores are new!!! Beat Tidehaven! Beat Tidehaven!

One hundred and eighty-sev- en had enrolled by Wednesday’s re- port. Everything is quite new to the crawling little seventh graders. We have two new additions to the faculty this year. They are Mrs. Claire Burton and Mr. Wil- lenborg. Other faculty members are as follows: Mr. J. G. Smith, •'rncipal; Mrs. Melba Sullivan, Miss Belle McGlothlin, Mrs. Vivian New- som, Mr. Clark and Coach Holst. The seventh grade home econom- ics class is running over with girls. In fact they have had to di- vide the class into two separate classes. The ninth grade home ec- onomics class is looking forward to the month of November, for that is the time they give the football boys their annual banquet. Mr. House has announced that 47 have signed up for the choral class this semester. To his aston- ishment a great majority of these are football boys. Miss McGlothlin said that the library will open sometime next week. The Junior High football bovs were greatly disappointed to find out that they could not have magazine privileges in the library until the football season is over. The faculty had a meeting Thurs- day morning and they decided up- on the staff for our school paper. The staff members are as follows: Marilyn Johnson and Ann Bran-i don. chief editors; Colleen Treacy and David Johnson, business man- agers; Johnnie McDaniel, ninth grade reporter; Valerie Weaver, eighth grade reporter; and Carla Ehlers, seventh grade reporter. COMMERCIAL LAW COURSE INTRODUCED THIS YEAR A Commercial Law course is being introduced to our high school this year with Mr. Walter Orr as nstructor. This course will be quite valu- able to those who intend to go into business of their own. It will also be of great value to those who prepare to study law in college. The course was opened to the entire student body but only senior students are enrolled.

Front row: Johnnie McDaniel, Verdell Crosby, Kay Green, Sue Ruth, Peggy Miller and Phyllis Holsworth. PALACIOS HIGH SHARKS RETURN TO CLASS 30-B; FIRST GAME FRIDAY NIGHT The Sharks return to Class 80-B with seven lettermen from last season. The seven men are Roy Markwardt, Roy Wratislaw, Tom Bolling, Robert Neely, Roy Wessel- man. James Penland and John Gayle. Coach Shelton has had an aver- age of 1G men reporting for work since the 15th of August. Working periods started off with two a day and lasted until the 23rd. Periods were changed to one a night in hopes of getting more men out, this work continued until the opening of school and now regular periods are held at 3 p.m. Starting off this season with the big problem of building a new backfield, Coach Shelton says, “A lot has been done but a lot more has to be done.” The line is looking good with veterans Roy Markwardt, Roy Wes- selman, Robert Neely, Roy Wratis- law, James Penland and Tom Boll- ing but blocking and play assign- ments need much improvement. The backfield is shaping up. John Gayle, shifted from the guard pos- ition, is running the fullback slot and calling signals. Sonny “Slim” Chiles is alternating at tailback and blocking-back and is looking good as a passer. Jimmy Kitchen is run- ning in the tailback position and has showed a lot of improvement n both running and passing. Sam Seale is running the wing with Lupe Rodriquiz and both are im- oroving in running and blocking. James Bowers has been out for only a few workouts but is looking good at the blocking-back slot. Inheriting a few new boys for this season has helped improve the club. Coming up from the Junior High “Hornets” “Red” Wright is working at left guard and has showed a lot of ball-savvy that might, with a lot of work, place him in line for a starting position. “Little” Bill Hamlin is working as (See “SHARKS,” Back Page) Flashy Starters Missing, Hornets To Be Rebuilt George Holst, the coach who be- lieves in his boys and dares to ad- mit it, will probably be doing a lot of believing because he has lost many of his flashly starters of the 1948 “Hot Hornets.” Missing are Jesse Alvarez, Pat Regan, Sam Seale, George Mc- Haney, “Red” Wright, Bill Hamlin, Dick Erekson, and Bob Lowry. Returning starters are “Red Har- vey, Ralph Clement and Pete Sarde- lich; returning lettermen are Rob- ert Linton. Jim Shearer, L. J. Bris- ter and Wratislaw. The 1949 Hor- net line-up will be built from these few boys and a squad of about forty other boys. Coach Holst will build his un- predictable Hornets offense upon the single wing, double wing, and Split “T” with wing formations, re- lying largely upon his “hard-to- stop” single wing to get the job done. In early season practice some of the seventh grade “freshmen” and squadmen from the '48 season have showed much promise, so don’t be surprised if they are playing in some of the returning lettermen’s positions. In summing up what to expect of the 1949 Hornets gridiron ma- chine, we’ll just say, “It’s a great big question mark and only time will tell.” TWIRLING SCHOOL CLOSED AUG. 27; 20 GIRLS ATTEND Twirling school closed Saturday, August 27, after a six day session with 20 girls present and Miss Con- nie Drenner of New Gulf as in- structor.
