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.

THE EBB TIDE SEPTEMBER 12, 1941 Around The Hornet Clubhouse By COACH GEO. D. HOLST, III It’s time to fret the ole pigskin out of the mothballs, and start throwing it around. Everyone around this “City by the Sea” is ready to back their teams to the last minute of every game. The Hornets haven’t a game scheduled at this time, but should have a schedule by next week. How- ever, it is hoped their first game will be about September 15th. We all hope the Hornets will field a good team this season, but we also know they lost many of their starters from the ’48 team who will be hard to replace. They have only had three prac- tices so far, but “Tiny” Foltyn looks like he might want to play lots of ball and if he continues to work as hard as he has done this far he probably will. Some of the boys who were lettermen last year are really going to have to work to repeat as lettermen this year be- cause some of last year’s squadmen are showing much promise. Well, sports followers, I’ll see you next time with a few predic- tions and some sports dope. UK:: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: u u « « BRANDON'S Dry Goods - Shoes Notions - Hats PALACIOS.

Carry books of Seniors! 2. Don’t pass a Senior without a respectful hello. 3. Don’t take your bottle in the presence of Seniors. (They abhor infants!) 4. Don’t suck your thumb in the presence of Seniors. 5. Buy cold drinks for Seniors anytime you are requested to. Instead of wearing senior rings next year most of the girls will be wearing A. M. pins, judging from the number of Palacios boys ?oing to A. M. this fall. SHARKS— hard as his 120 pounds will allow him. He is going to let someone know he is around. Donny Kitchen :s making the go rough for some one, knowing that a guard position is open and wanting to play ball, he has put as much in the game an any one. The results of the past three weeks and the next twTo will just have to wait until the 16th of this month when the boys have their first game—lets hope for the best :: :: :: « j: j: x x x x X X X X X x x X X x x X x x W ffl ” :: :: M m s PETERSEN’S I s CAFE i i ; 416 Main St. « X x j.
