It is with affection and gratitude that we, the annual staff of 1957-1958, dedicate this annual to one who has spent many years in the teaching pro- fession, Miss Belle McGlothlin. We honor her for the patience and understanding, for the help and guidance and for the personal attention she has given her students. Foreward The year 1957-1958 has been a great one for the Palacios High School under the supervision of Mr. J. G. Smith, Principal. Your 58 Ebb Tide is the work of many minds and hands. Any annual,large or small, needs the services of a varied group, using their many talents. Giving credit to all who made the 58 Ebb Tide a reality is a big job involving the cooperation of almost every student and faculty member in one way or an- other. It is difficult for this annual to portray the full scope of our school days. However, I believe the graduating seniors and others will cherish and treasure the record of our activities, events, school chums, teacher, and other items that made up the school term of 1957-1958.

If we print jokes, people say we are silly. If we don't they say we are too serious. If we clip things from old an- nuals, we are too lazy to write them ourselves. If we don't we are stuck on our own stuff. If we stick close to the job all day, we ought to be out hunting news. If we go out and try to hustle, we ought to be on the job in the office. If we don't print contributions, we don t appreciate true genius; if we do print them the an- nual is full of junk. If we make a change in the other fellow's make-up, we are too critical; if we don't, we are asleep--Now likely as not some wise guy will say we swiped this from some other annual. WE DID! ! ! !

Vice-President Robert Keszler Class Colors: Aqua, Pink Secretary Glen Smith Class Flower: Sweetheart Rose This last year of high school has really been filled with memories made possible by the spirit of cooperation between the students. Throughout the year we Seniors devoted most of our time earning money for our Senior trip to Bandera. What a wonderful time we had there! Soon after an educational trip to Breckenridge Park in San Antonio and a feast at Youngblood's we arrivied at the Mayan Dude Ranch on Friday.. All thatafternoonand the nextday were'spent swimming, riding horses, dancing, and playing ping pong and miniature golf. Afterafish fry on the river one night, and a barbeque the next, we were honored with a hayride--and what hayrides! All good things must come to an end , so we left Sunday morning after a breakfast on the range. We stopped and went through the Cascade Caverns at Boerne, and then home. Although we all had a wonderful time, it was good to be home and to catch up on rest. (So far I have been able to keep the rainmakers a secret, but now I must mention them.) One of the projects that made the above trip possible was the Senior plays. This year, instead of one three-act play, we presented three'’one-act plays, one of which was a come- dy, Splintfor a BrokenHeart , a serious, Strange Road , and a serious comedy, Sunday's Child . We are happy to say that these were all successes, and we wish to thank each one who made them possible, especially Miss Belle McGlothlin, Mrs. J. G. Smith, and Mr. V. J. Kahlich. Other unforgettable activities were Slave Day, Western Day, Sports Night, Homecoming, the Senior Party, our Christmas Party, and we cannot exclude all the banquets given in our honor. Now we must leave dearol' P.H.S. and step out into the world. My one wish is that our well-balanced high school education has fitted us for the future.

Secretary Jutta Haubold Class Song: Deep Purple Class Colors: Lavender and silver Class Flower: Purple Aster The Junior class of 1957-58 began its participation in school activities by selecting Betty Friery as Homecoming Queen candidate. She was elected by the student body as Homecoming Princess and the coronation took place on Shark field during the half time of our Homecoming game. The Junior class Christmas party was held in the high school study hall. Gifts were ex- changed and refreshments were served. Pat Christy and Betty Friery presented Mrs. Friery and Mr. Clark with gifts. The Junior class sponsoreda sockhop in the high school gym. The gym was decorated in the class colors and pairs of socks. Junior Sock Hop was written along the stage. The class cleared approximately $23. An added attraction was the mystry box in which two soph- omores won the prize. Also a delicate operation was performed by Dr. Lousy Lowry on the well-known patient, Pennyless Pennington. The Junior class candidate for Sports Queen, Betty Highberg, was crowned on Shark field as Sports Queen for 1957-58. She was crowned by last year's queen. The Junior class broke away from the traditional banquet and prom by giving a Junior- Senior party at the Pavilion on May 2. Music was furnished by Tee Tieman and his orchestra. Stylized marine life decorated the huge net which almost encircled the Pavilion. Favors for the evening were leis and they were handed out by sophomore girls dressed in colorful sarongs. The program consisted of the reading of the Junior Prophecy and the Senior Will. Special music was provided by Spike Jones and his Beachcombers, who sang Hawaiian War Chant , Betty Roberson and Betty Friery, who sang He , and Joyce Linley, who sang the Senior class song, You'll Never Walk Along . The Junior class picnic was held at Gypsy Wagon on May 16. We almost had two trag- edies--Pam was almost thrown in the river in her new pedal pushers and Jack T. cut his leg while going through a fence. We all had a good time, especially those who walked over to Nubbin's. All in all we've had fun this year and next year (if there's anyone left) we'll have twice as much fun!

SOPHOMORES Class Song: Dedicated to You Vice-President Class Flower: Sweetheart Rose Marvin Kastrop Class Colors: Pink, Silver The Sophomores had three main social functions during the school year; they were: the Christmas party, the Lemon Squeeze Dance, and the class picnic. The Sophomore class presented a one-act play at Christmas assembly entitled Make Room for Rodney . It was surprising to see just how much hidden talent our class possessed; it's a shame that it was ever shown. We then remained in the gym for the exchange of gifts and delicious refreshments. Our Lemon Squeeze Dance was well attended by members of all the classes, and every- one seemed to have a good time. A group of Senior s, whose names we won't mention, swiped our big lemon we had out in the hall and put it on top of the school building. I suppose they wanted to help us advertise. We worked hard to decorate the gym, but after we were through we were very proud of ourselves. It was done with green and yellow crepe paper, and we made faces on lemons for the table decorations. Naturally we had lemonade to drink, cookies, and lemon drops, Boling's Ranch was the scene of our class picnic at the end of the school year. Most of our time was spent in chasing armadillas and eating. Some brave ones even went swimming in the cold water, and we had some adventuresome girls who got lost in the dense forest. All in all, it was a very exciting and wonderful year. We have wonderful memories that will come to our minds in the years to come. We are no longer the lower classmen of high school. Next year most of us will be Juniors, and then finally we will be Seniors, the big- wheels of the school (so they thought this year). Then it will be our turn to have a little private initiating party for the Sophomores. That will be one experience that none of us will forget. It was fun, but oh, what a mess! It has been fun working on the annual staff and I hope that it will be as much fun for you as you look through the pages of our school days. It has been wonderful to be associated with the people at school, and I regret that I have to leave P.H.S. Good luck and the best of every- thing to all of you.

Although I think the Seniors who bought Sen- iors made their slaves work the hardest, everyone did their share of toil. Everyone joined in and had a lot of fun. There was a basbetball game that night at the gym, and al- most all the slaves were there. Nat- urally the had to perform for the audience and do several things to please their masters, such as shine shoes, give yells, and ride bicycles. It was a lot of fun, and we hope that the event will be carried on through the years. Homecoming 1957 TOP ROW: Lynn Richards, Bennie Starr, Billy Stuhrenberg, Carol Ann Partain, Paul Taylor, Betty Ann Friery, Berney Keszler. BOTTOM ROW: Joe Lothridge, Kathy Sells, Kenneth Brandon, Renee Smith, Kenneth Ramsey, Miss Carol Ann Partain was elected Homecoming Queen by the student body at Palacios High School. She and her court reigned at the football game between Sweeny and Palacios, and at the dance in the gym afterwards. The attendance for Homecoming was very good, and everyone was happy to see Palacios beat Sweeny 44-0. Princess Lynn Queen Carol Ann Princess Betty Western Day Western Day is sponsored by the Seniors as another money raising event. The Seniors won the contests for the third year straight. Senior students were the law officers and lawyers. Fines were assessed to students not obeying the rules and regulations set by the Senior class. Some of the contests held were: best dressed cowgirland cowboy, the best beard, spitting contest, coke drink- ing, cracker eating, gun drawing, hog calling, and several outdoor ev- ents. All new students and teachers were branded, and had to wear signs saying, I am a stray. 7 Sports Night Betty Highberg, Junior candidate, was crown- ed queen on Sports Night this year. Runner-up was Miss Becky Brandon, Sophomore candidate. Miss Highberg was crowned by Miss Georgene Stubblefield, last year's queen. It was a battle from the moment the tug-of- war began, to the pony express ride at the end of the night. It was close too, because all classes had superior power. In the end, when the points were totaled up, the Sophomores and the Seniors were tied for first place, the Juniors were second, and the Freshman brought up the rear. Some of the events that were scheduled were the following: tug-of-war, centipede race, dizzy bat race, billy goat race, three legged race, gack race, horse and rider, dodge ball, and kangaroo, race. w Kathryn Weimer Billy Douglas Juanita Hill Juanita Murphy Gene Cooper Aurora Gonzales Jimmy Neeley Suzzane Countryman Carolyn Maddox Larry Nischwitz Shirley Hogg Susan Sanford Robert Sanchez Marion Wilson Linda Hunt Jerry Smith Sue Brotemarkle Verle Miller Dorthy Clark Robert Gonzales Larry Griffin Judy Hunt Sandra Chambliss Shirley Powers LeRoy Wilcox Zhe Palacios Migh School Sand 1957-58 The Palacios High School Band, consisting of forty-five members, enjoyed participating in all the half-time football shows and then spending the remainder of the year with concert music. During marching season, the Shark band was ably led by Frances Halamecik, our drum major. Virginia Lothridge, Donnie Faye Cosby, and Cookie Maddox were twrilers that the band was proud to have with us. For our annual spring trip the band went to San Antonio for the eight-mile Fiesta Flambeau parade. Cookie Maddox acted as drum major for this long and tiring parade. The four Seniors, Laura Ford, Diana Prindle, Patsy Robinson, and Alvin Salinas, wish the Shark band much success next year. We know you will look snappy in your new uniforms. GOOD LUCK! The Palacios High School Pep Squad, ably led by Betty Ramsey, Georgene Stubblefield, Lynn Richards, Betty Friery, and Carol Ann Partain, head cheerleader, accompanied the band dur- ing football season and helped them with their half-time shows. Frequently, the pep squad pre- sented a pre-game routine and then brought the Sharks onto the field. Members of the 1957-58 pep squad were: Sissy White, Peggy Sue Ramsey, Lottie Campbell, Nancy Reneau, June Whitley, Joyce Brune, Avanell Brister, Ophelia Rendon, Betty Gibson, BettyAnderson, Mary Jackson, MaryGrisham, Helen Henyan, Virginia Kech, Gladys Simpson, Clara Newson, Sue Harvey, Pam Green, Betty Tanner, Barbara Beard, Jo Ann Herbert, Vera Roach, PatsyKing, Jean Chamberlaine, Shirley Bowers, Cynthia Haviland, Dana Pore, Patricia Christy, Becky Brandon, Gloria Harvey, and Bobbie Tolleson.

Football Highlights With the football spirit riding high, the Palacios Sharks under the leadership of Coach Joe Newbill clobbered the rival Tidehaven Tigers 24-6. In the next game the Sharks fought the Ganado Indians to a 0-0 tie, but the never-say-die Sharks came right back the following week to stomp the Industrial Cobras 25-0. Injuries soon plagued the club and the Shark spirit seemed to diminish as the Big Red lost four games in a row--two of them district games—to Goliad 33-0, to Alvin 25-6, to West Columbia, the eventual state semi-finalists, 12-7, and to Boling 23-0. The Sharks then came back on the winning trail by eking out a 7-6 victory over Wharton, but they lost a heartbreaker to Edna the following week by the same score. In the last game of the season, Fortune finally smiled on the Big Red as the Sharks rambled over the Sweeney Bulldogs by a score of 44-0. Although the Sharks lost five games, they had a fine season. The losses could possibly be attributed to the loss in spirit be- cause of injuries, but we prefer not to alibi. Instead we would rather fight harder to win more games next year by following the adivse of Coach Joe Newbill, Winners never quit; quitters never win. Johnny Penland Back Fowler Keszler snags a Taylor aerial for 20 yards and a first down as the Sharks beat Tidehaven 24-6.
