At the same time, I would like to remind you that what you have gone through in school was merely in preparation for more important things that lie ahead. You have acquired a great deal in academic skills during the past twelve years which you will find to be highly important in whatever you may choose as your life’s work. However, there are other things that are equally as important. The habits and attitudes which you have formed during your school years will follow you throughout life and will become your chief asset or liability. When you leave school you will not be judged by how much arithmetic you know, nearly so much as you will by what your attitudes are toward your fellow-man and the institutions of society in which you live. For that reason, I urge you to cultivate a good opinion of your associates and acquaintances. Always think well of them when it is possible to do so and never speak ill of any- one when it can be avoided. It is with both pride and regret that we bid you goodbye from the Palacios High School, and hope that the successyou have attained here will inspire you with confidence in your ability to achieve even more in whatever lies ahead. Sincerely yours, Ralph Newsom Superintendent of Schools A HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE TO THE STUDENTS OF PALACIOS HIGH SCHOOL: It is a pleasure to work with a group of students who are always willing to put their shoulders to the wheel when there is a job to be done. You have been faithful in your work while in Palacios High School. You are going from the protective walls of this high school in a few short months. You will then meet problems that will be yours to solve. I sincerely hope that your training here has been such that you may better solve these problems. When you have been away from the school a few short years you will feel a special interest in those who are following in your path. May you always feel that this is your school. When those following you need a helping hand I sincerely hope that you will be standing by to offer your assistance. W. E. Sullivan High School Principal 9 JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE TO THE SENIORS OF 1954: You hove at last reached the famous Crossroads” of your life. The state of the nation has made your decision a great one. Never before in the history of our time has there been a period where there was so much indecision and doubt. The choice you will make will have to be your own as your predeces- sors can only counsel. I am ready at all times to help you make a choice and to aid you in any other way possible. You are now standing alone and must choose the road you are going to take in life. I am very confident that your choice will be a good one. I wish each of you a great deal of success and all the happiness you so rightfully deserve. 10 ADMINISTRATION 11 MY RLE BURTON English SYLVESTER CLARK Science 12 REV.

STUDENT COUNCIL 1953-1954 The Student Council has sponsored various contests and activities during the year. It has also sponsored several dances, the most important being the Homecoming dance. By sponsoring the coke machine, the Sports Queen race, and working in the concession stands at the football games, the Student Council has been able to purchase student awards and many useful things for the school. At Christmas the council planned the program and bought the apples for the students. One of the most enjoyable events sponsored by the Student Council was the Student-Faculty basketball game.

Mr. Hill is harping on the so-called ’‘irresponsibilities of this younger generation. He is reminded of some of his own youthful ambitions and foibles, and the clock is turned back. Then we meet Mr. Hill (then plain Charlie Hill) and Mrs. Hill (in those days Evie Palmer) as high school Seniors in the year 1928. We see their funny courtship in the age of the Charleston, the yellow slicker raincoat, the racoon overcoat, ukuleles and jazz and painted jalopies. The three acts are crammed with the plot, subplots, laughter, heart-warming tenderness and surprises. The young- sters’ problems are eternal problems—of love and ambition and decision, passing enthusiasms and fads. And all are solved in hilarious fashion as usual. JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM The Junior-Senior Prom was in the High School Gym on May 8, 1954. Those attending enjoyed music by the Jesse James Band. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The annual banquet for the Juniors and Seniors was on May 1, 1954 in the Junior High School Cafeteria. The theme, stardust, was carried out thus: the place cards were balloons with stars on them, the programs were Hitch Your Wagon to a Star , and the room was decorated with blue paper with silver stars on it. The Sophomore girls, who served, were dressed as Cigarette Girls and wore short blue costumes. The menu consisted of Bird of Paradise (Chicken), Fleecy Clouds (Potatoes), Milky Way (Gravy), Zodiac Special (Green Beans), Honeymoon Salad (Combination Salad), Half Moon (Rolls), Stardust (Butter), Angels’ Dessert (Chocolate Cake and Ice-Cream), Moonshine (Coffee), and Heavenly Elixir (Tea). 70 Cft7J JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL VIVIAN NEWSOM Home Economics Geography Science BELLE McGLOTHLIN English J.
