Palacios High School - Ebb Tide Yearbook (Palacios, TX)

Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1964 volume:

EBB TIDE WANDA SEAMAN Assistant Editor NANCY TUREK Editor MRS. FRIERY Sponsor Foreword Another year in the life of PHS is almost over. For some it is the last year. With graduation comes one of the most important steps in a student’s life. How and in what di- rection a student takes this step will certainly have been influenced by the environment of our high school - its activities, students, and teachers. High school is, in a sense, a pathway to the future. For those who have really been a part of PHS, this pathway will definitely be a memorable one. How often we have heard our parents say, “Enjoy your high school years, for you will remember them as the best years of your life!” The Ebb Tide Staff hopes this book will help you remember this year, 1963-64, a little bit better.

Who will ever forget the fun we had on the Senior Trip, the poor peacocks, the donkey carts, and the gorilla at the zoo! Most memorable of all is the famous line from the Senior Play - Okay, lady! Our class has done well in many fields, achieving honors in music, athletics, science, agriculture, and home economics. Twelve seniors were members of the National Honor Society. We hope after we leave Palacios High School we will use what we have learned to live happy and suc- cessful lives. 10 Our Senior ear Js Over.

The setting for this play was the big business world of New York City. The story centered around the problems created by a party line shared by Jan Morrow, interior decorator, and Brad Allen, song-writer and playboy. The Senior Class enjoyed presenting the play and no one will ever forget the famous line, O. K. , lady! Is anybody in it? Hey, Mac! What girl Will I name this after? Gotcha! The moose is out! Pretty soon we'll have phones you don't even have Where does it say to dial! that? Howdy, Ma'am. 23 Senior Trip Ride 'em. Cowboy!!! Careful, girls, you might get thrown in!!! YEA, BANDERA!!!

We are very proud to say that four are members of the National Honor Society, six are active in the Future Teachers of America, and a new club was started by Juniors. Jennie Bearse and Ralph Brown were elected favorites by the Junior Class. Jennie also represented our class as Homecoming Princess. The boys were very active in sports this year, with eleven A string players. Ricky Conrad, Robby Shelton, Douglas Kubecka, and James Gibson were elected to the all-district team. During basketball season Ricky, James, Robby, John, and Charles placed second in district. Sandra and Helen made all-district girls' basketball. We will leave our 1963-64 Junior year with a feeling of accomplishment. We only hope we will do as well as seniors in 1964-65.

Marvin Stuhrenberg, we really hope, will find out he is not such a dope. Brad Tanner, a real Romeo, will wind up being a lonesome Joe. A fine girl, Melvena Tanner, will always be in front and carry the banner. Nancy Turek, who isn’t a flirt, will never, never be hurt. Margaret Wallin, better known as Magget, will wind up working for T.V.’s Dragnet. Donald Wesselman, a cattle raiser, will always shave with a dull razor. Dennis Wynn, a real small guy, will be a taster of cherry pies. Clifford Wright, who is as mean as a bear, will end up cutting everyone's hair. Joyce Scruggs, who is a senior brain, will end up washing window panes. Ruby Adams, a real scream, will wind up manufacturing ice cream. Irene Solis, one of the hot live wires, will work for a filling station and fix flat tires. Evangeline Flores, a real little tyke, will make her fortune on a fifty-mile hike. Sophomore Class CLASS FLOWER: Red Rose CLASS COLORS: Blue and Gold CLASS SONG: Forever CLASS MOTTO: We build the ladder by which we rise. President: Billy Kubecka Vice President: Margaret Herlin Secretary: Charlotte Nichols CLASS SPONSORS Mr. Linton Mrs. Wiggs Miss Balusek CLASS OFFICERS The Sophomore Class of 1963-1964 was very proud to have five lettermen and four reserves in football, plus a letterman in basketball. We had twelve probationary members in the National Honor Society, and two members in the Future Teachers of America. The newly organized Future Nurses Club was very fortunate, we think, in having twenty-one members from the sophomore class, three of whom were Wanda Laurence, secretary; Margaret Herlin, social director; and Molly Garcia, finance. Our Christmas party consisted of the exchanging of gifts following the serving of refresh- ments. Needless to say, all had a most enjoyable time. We have learned much and have had a fun-filled and memorable year and we hope to have many more not only in school but throughout our lives.

Its purpose is to encourage the scholastic advancement of high school students. The rewards of membership are better chances for scholarships and for admittance to the college of one’s choice. OFFICERS Patsy Shimek, Melvena Tanner, Eddalyn Jensen, Annie Jo Venglar FTA Play The Future Teachers of America is a club dedicated to helping students de- cide on a teaching career.

During National Education Week the FTA gave an assembly program consisting of a short play written, directed, and acted by FTA members, and a speech by Mr. John Louderback, counselor at Palacios High School. In November the teachers were honored with a tea, and in April the FTA honored the retired teachers with a tea.
