Perhaps some of us could readil Y see and really realize our plight if we only would take note of the vanities of the many characters madeu im ortal because they live in Vanity Fair . UPutting on the dog, the slang expression of false pride signifies living then and now. Wbuldn't Becky 'Sharp, back in days of Napoleon, have coveted such an expression! ' Today's puffed-up conceit re- sulting from a conquest of glory- gaining experiences is comparable to that of every age known' to mankind.

This is the state in which so many of us areg this is the state for which philosophers and wrim ters have been offering solutions which, 'however, all have some fallacy. Even though I am not classed in either of' the two a- forementioned groups, maybe this bit of advice will be of help to some.

To me Americenism is true democrecy, love for one's fellow man, and love for America. One must be public-spirit d, broad minded, and intelligently informed on the qualifications and rules of being an American in order to be e reel American Citizen. we Americans worship God where, when, and how ,we please, with no dictator Sr king to hinder us. Our food is not handed out to us in rations, but we get as much as we went at any time. Our clothing is plenti- ful and warm, we have shoes on our feet. Our homes are comfort- able. Compared with wer-torn countries across the sees, our country is e seventh heaven. Should the democracy which our forefathers strove so hard to achieve be wrecked by the roaring Eombs of e terrible war? As A- ericen citizens who love and wor- ship the country and prosper, we should ell zsay, iNNo! Lct Democracy live on and on Of course we are proud of America and wish to defend her! We can- not and shall not let our Coun- itry's hiih morals and high stan- dards of living be dcstroyedln in which we live 2 rand Electrical Engineering, James Musgrove. y 3 M2563 7QfNfl 13855 H 'L 41 1'-wi 5 -L N 90' f ff-Rfewflv'-F'Nf v 1r4'?Nf-4 'v'v'V'v'v Jvsfvg ' L-E F' 34' - 1 . .

Stone, the nice-look ing gentleman who has been coach ing the Port Noches team for 'the past three years is very well- known and much liked by the teach ers and students of Port Noches High. Having graduated from Nac- ogdoches, Texas, he attended Ste- phen F. Austin State Teachers College, where he received his B. A. degree. He frankly testified that he hates English, is not very roman- tic where poetry is eoncerned,and is partial tp popular music. He likes to fish and hunt, enjoys all athletics, especially foot- ball, and is constantly warming his hands before the fire of life His favorite food is steak and his favorite colors are blue tl green. As to girls, he special- ized in blondes, brunettes, and redheads. His favorite pastime is trying to teach algebra to bs- wildered little sophomores, who try earnestly to make all a's so he will tell them a funny story or joke. As to his personal appearance he is tall, a little stout, dress es neatly, and usually wears a green tie. ' ' He is brimful of vim, vigor, and vitality, enjoys a good joke, and does everything in his power to bring happiness to the people around him, ON OVERCOMING SADNESS Cheer up and smile! Make your life worth while! There is no place in this world for sorrow. ' To pine is to sin, So let joy enter in. There is no time to lend or bor- row . Think not with dismay ,Of your troubles today! ' Hake ready for the happiness of 4 ing, tomorrow! May our Guiding Light ne'er fail!

Who doesn't, at the sound of some favorite tune, at once be gin to show rhythm that the tem- po of the music arouses. ' The day 'of the fox trot, two step, waltz, polka, schottische have been discarded for the newer steps. The advent of the juke bex and the phonograph have help- ed cause the sudden desire for this thing called swing, also for popular dance orchestras have helped create the crave. It is a fact, however, that the newer types of dancing are really prim- itive, going back to the days of the negro in Africa when his tom- tom gave forth that melodius and harmonius rhythm and the young buck leaped around, keeping tine to the beating. Although this contrast is rather far-fetched, the evolution of the dance has brought about improvements, Today our dance bands resort to all kinds of plagiarism, even to the extent of swinging classical, folk, spiritual, and patriotic songs, but the most critical will have to admit they have accomp- lished something in rhythms.

You are finishing school at a time that demands the I e greatest skill and effortsgat a time which will demand many sacri- 5 ? fices and responsibilitiesg at a time when the entire world and I g our American way of life with its high standards of living is be- Q I ing challenged. If this country with its unlimited protections, i privileges, and opportunities is to continue, you must accept nmN I a great responsibility. This responsibility to our country and to I I your future success must be met through definitely preparing your- I I self for a vocation or profession, then enter some vocational I I school, some business that offers a future, or some job where you I I 1 , 1 ' can learn as you earn.' Do not look for an easy way or wait for I I . something to be given you. We get the good things of life through I , planning, toiling, and thinking. We enjoy free speech, religious 3 freedom, educational and vocational opportunities, and the pursuit A ,of happiness through the wisdom, knowledge, belief in God, and Imany sacrifices of the early founders of our government. If these principles are to continue, we must do our own thinking, and when I awe go to the ballot box, we must discern between the politician 2 1who is offering to give us something for nothing and the statesman ' 1 I I ,who is attempting to preserve our plan of government. We must .have love in our hearts for our fellow mang we must be law abiding ' I ,citizensg we must have the love of God in our hearts and not per- 5 ,mit ourselves to be swept into every current that tends to .build , ,hatred between classes, that tends to destroy our individuality, . I I May I wish'for each of Iligious life, and enough fortable and happy. May utors to the best things I I you a happy and successful home life, TG- I and that offers any other plan than the Golden Rule. I I success in this economic world to be com- I each of you become leaders of and contrib- I of society.

Dengler, secretary of the board, superintendent of the Texas' Company, who is a native of Pennsylvania, and W. L. Beaumont, a native of Texas and a prosperous and well-liked dairyman and farmer. Veteran chiefs are Dr. Dengler, who has served the board twenty-two years, and Mr. Parsons, who has served fourteen years Mr. Beaumont has been a member of the board a year. Wise chiefs ithe are and so conduct their responsibilities of giving the Y best scholastic training possible to the Indian lads and lassies who come to learn their lessons of life'and warm their hands and hearts at the big campfire of knowledge. , ' c e-J-P1--+ f 'P'age Five ' s ' 9 I I 1 I n 1 l I i l 5 1 1 s I 1 i U 1 U I N E 1 i a b I I E I I I 1 I 5 I 'Y ' .-. . - .I 1 - -. , -v-'-. - fi A fl , ft 1 5 1 ff., , Q- l I: I Q, X LA x .

True, the 1world's history has always been gmore or less troubled, but our ggeneration had hopes of lifting Imankind to a much higher plane through eliminating5mnnhFof'labon poverty, disease, and war. The fpresent world condition gives a Qserious setback to our progress gin fulfilling our hopes. In the zconfusion that exists, we wonder iwhat is best for us. One thing iis certain. As you grow older 'you must assume more and more the responsibility for meeting and 'solving the problems confronting Qmankind. One of the things you iwill need most in assuming your ,responsibilities is faith. has sa1d,NIn act- great enterprise takes its first faith.N to need faith in have many abili- i One great man gual life every ,begins with and iforward step in f You are going Uourself. You ities that are undeveloped and can ho much if you will support your belief in yourself with action. You will need faith in the prin- kiples of decency. Almost all mo- dern novels and shows hold up be- fore vou an unparalleled amount of utter lewd filth. Virtue is 5 mot old fashioned nor is vice new, but the latter often has a most attractive guise. You know what hs right. Have faith in your better judgment, likewise have Faith in Godg that is, have faith dn all things good and right, for Cod is the very essence of all hings good, and you cannot have aith in the one without faith in he other. In the troublesome time to ore, you will need faith in our ay of life--our democracy.

Sending- nessages via the Indian system has become popular in our 'highl school, and every third week the, watch and wait for the War whoop, begins. New our condehsed formQ of the year's signals, the senior' edition, is completed--the flast copy is chedked and balanced, thef last stencil cut and run, and the last copy of the final edition stapled and checked. This volume marks the last of a long line of contributions for some of us, and we here express our gratitude to have helped us. To our Miss Mary Cock and Mrs. 1 those who sponsors, L. B. Thomas, we owe our efficien- make-up and the crea- cy in the tive departments respectivelyg to you, our subscribers, for the con- tributions and subscriptions we are also indebted. Not satisfied but proud of our comulative ef- forts, we think this senior edi- tion completes the best volume tHe'QQr'Who5b hgs'ever'produced. F The work for these past four years has not been easy, but it has been fun. To say Ngoodbyen as a stalwart and brave Warrior should, is hard for usgbut hiding our emotions as best we can, we have a large lump in our throats 9 as we end our War whoop journey. In the future,-we wish you the best of luck as a part of Indian lore in smoke signaling. s I --The SGHiCT Staff faith, but Liberty cannot.H When our faith in our ability to ope- rate our free government is gone, our liberty itself will be gone.

In a very short time she finds herself on a floating magic carpet--rid- ing high above the clouds in the year l955.In the Nunbodiedn spirit of dreams she visits old haunts and new and strange places in Port Neches, asking and eagerly picking up all the information she can about her former classmates. In Port Neches High School she sees a familiar face in the office, Who? None other than Margaret Allen, who has replaced W. J. after so long a time. As she floats about town, a large sign catches her eye-nBoyd's BeaneryU-why,it is owned and operated by Edward Earl. It's the swcllest eating joint in town too, 'so naturally she enters to find the neat form of the chief waitress most familiar--Barbara Cayard--still,Cayard--passing in and out a- mong tables with a dignified air. . And there's the old maids' home--exclusively operated by none other than Violet Flurry. Dorothy Choate is sitting on the porch knitting--what a change ten or more years can make! And in a stately mansion she finds Elna Gregory, married to a wealthy.man and an active lecturer to the P. T. A., entertaining a group of prominent people. Among the quests is Georgia H0rPiQf who is. instructor of jitterbugging in high school--what's the famous quartet, VThe Howell Howlers,H the most outstanding member of which is Riley Woolley. There are Maxine Jones and Robert Sparks, who are in charge of the floor show. Their entertainers are from the Sparks School of Advanced Tapping, in which Maxine is chief instructor--next to Sparks. The noted criminal lawyer is here--Marvin Landry, who himself in the famous trial of who was acquitted for the mur- Moon, famous plastic surgeon, are among the elite. Herschel the inventor, Robert Dill, who are in one corner talking over made such an outstanding record for Mrs. J. D. Langston, Gladys Morris, der of her husband. Doctor Elmer and his pretty nurse, Elaine Baye, Anderson, champion pool-shooter,and is working on a new type pool ball, possibilities. The Myers girls, Maribeth and Garnet, own a partnership skat- ing rink. There's Dalton Halford, the man who has just returned from a visit with Madame Lazonga--he taught her the seventh lesson and perfected the Napproach.n The local banker, Jack Thayer, makes the picture complete. Again downtown, Joyce looks over the business section and sees one of the for this week is There's the P. Abshire, with gang robs banks And Dayton chain stores owned by Joilet Woods.

Deep gloom enveloped the aspir- ing contenders when an announce- ment came that the league had been disbanded, but, with a lit- -:le nlobbyingn by the right -peo- Iple, it was reorganized to the satisfaction of all. ' Work was immediately begun and -despite a late start Port Neches 'swept the meet, the outstanding Igroup being the shorthand team 'composed of Merlene Bryant, Gwen- dolyn Evans, and Marie Covington :who took first, second, and third 'placed in county and district, second, fourth, and fifth in re- .gion, and ninth, eleventh, and twelfth in state. Not bad!

The one-act play group--Virgin- ia Wagner, Jackie Williams, Riley Woolley, and Jack Owings---won first place in county by default, second in district, however, Jack Uwings was acclaimed the best ac- tor in district competition and Virginia Wagner, the second best actress.

Despite the fact gthat the Indians placed second in lthe district race, they ended the fseason without a single defeat. 5 Playing nine games during the -year, the Redskins won five and ,tied four to total 15h points ,against their combined opponents' QZL--in conference play 79 to 12. ,Of these, five were conference -games, three of which were won 'and two tied. . Such brilliant players as Nun- ez, Allen, Riley, Berwick, Ter- rell, Webb, and Landry led on the forward wall with Hines, Brackin, Jarter, and Sparks outstanding in the baekfield. Three members of the squad-- 'WStinkyH Nunez, Chester Berwick, and UCottonH Allen--received the honor of being placed on the all- 'district team. HCottonHAllen was also chosen on the all Southeast Texas Team. Letter awards--purple and gray satin, reversible jackets--were made to eighteen members' of the LQLO squad: HStinkyW Nunez, Paul Riley, HCottonH Allen, Pat Allen, Chester Berwick, Bill Porter, By- lron Terrell, Jack Drawhorn,Ernest Webb, Elmer Moon, Marvin Landry, NDarkyN Hines, Bill Brackin, Day- ton Carter, Robert Sparks.

H. S. to re-4 present them at the football games, the sponsor and maids fort the l9hO football season were all that their classmates expected? and more. In their royal purple skirts and white military jackets decorated with gold buttons, the maids wearing purple Ubeaniesn a- top their round little heads, and the sponsor's Winsome face framed in a fetching purple and white bonnet, they presented a picture of charming girlhood on every grid iron throughout the year. Miniature in size, 'but big at heart, Dorothy 'White, commonly hailed as NTeno,N the 'spons0r, elected by the football boys,car- ried the responsibility well upon her little shoulders, doing every- thing possible to make the social life of the football boys and fans enjoyable. Throughout the season's joys and woes she was ably supported by four little Indian maids--nom- inated by their classes as follow: Anita Young, freshman maid with her quaint little smile and twinkling eyes, Juanita Hughes, sophomore maid, she of the bub- ling laughter and quiet charm and beauty, and Beverly Mougia, jun- ior maid, a pretty little lass whose heart belongs to Hub, and Joyce Bland, she of the queenly grace and dark beauty. pow-wow to carry on the wars of the Indian gridiron. lkvkvklkik Jkvkvkflvlvivivkrkdwkvkiwiwk Mrs. Thomas, struggling to put over the idea that an object is in the objective case: HEffie, what is 'a black cat'?W Morris Young 6Out-of-crderbz WA place where you dance.n Page Fifty-four 1 5 P i 7 In A .1 lt it 1 w .1 I4 w f E l Y V ,CL , Ak - - 3 - 4- Y- Y A - -- - -1 A lqnil- -A ,J : ' Y 'E' ' 'Y -' r' , 4 -' 1 ' -.

The hard- est loss for the Indians was to Orange in a game which required three extra periods, at the end of which Orange had a slight mar- gin. The Indians also placed third in county competition for class A schools. The season ended with a banquet in Hotel Beaumont at which individual and team honors were awarded. The junior team, led by Bennie Lott, also finished a very suc- cessful season.

Page Seventy-nine E7 E 'WHAT UNCLE SAM MEANS TO ME' QlThis is the essay which fwon ffirst prize of S10 in the recent gcontest sponsored by the Port Ar- :thur Elks' lodge.It will be en- jtered in state competition and,if ,adjudged best there,will go on to fthe national contest.J I , He's a striking old fellow, our .Uncle Sam, with his gay striped ipants and star bedecked coat, his ,beard that Time has carved upon fhis kind, loving face. His eyes dare the eyes of the world, know- ling the sorrows of all times and fthe joys of his now happy, pros- perous people. Sometimes that ,dear, wrinkled:-face' grows grim, 'thinking of the danger that :threatens the peace and happiness 'of his people. But he smiles, 'too, when he sees his people laughing and being happy. Always Phe smiles upon the little child Ethat runs joyously in the open gfields, with the wind playing ,peek-a-boo with her frock and -carr in her laughter to the ends Y S iof the earth, to be sadly echoed ,by cannon thunder and the rain of Qbullets. He is glad that his f 1 ,people are nappy andiwishes.h1e' lneighbors were also. ' To be happy and free, to love and live as I wish, all that is :what Uncle Sam means to me. What 'else could we ask for? Is it -not enough to live in this, the gLand of Liberty? WLibertyLn What ga great capacity this word hasl jLiberty in thought, speech, and :act--liberty in lifei ' To the soldier boy and the sail- gor, Uncle Sam means enough for :them to give their lives in ser- ivice, to him. The Stars and ZStripes forever wave above them, iwhether from a flagpole above the 'arm cam s or from the bow of ship. T3 me, Uncle much that I, too give my life, if it 5 Y P isome stately ,Sam means so fwould gladly 1 resins? 5921 e..9,1:o,,a5Cse S?,11.-, I ,emi at at new if I stand with the soldier boy as the bugle blows and Old Glory waves in the breeze, or with the sailor lad on the wind-swept deck of a ship and hail the same Old Glory, as she continues to wave so free- ly in the soft breezes. To laugh, to love, to lose and learn, all this is what Uncle Sum means to me. He laughs with us, loves with us, loses and learns with us, and offers happiness and freedom at almost every crossroad Perhaps it could be summed up in that one word, WHappinessH ---- all that he means to me ---- for where would be the sunshine of happi- ness if all its rays were blctted out by clouds of dictatorship or rains or sorrow? Uncle Sam, hold my hand tightly and don't let me forget what you stand for in this world that seems to have forgot everything but selfish desires--hold my hand and don't let me forget what your striped pants and starbedeoked coat signify, yet don't let me forget the happiness we are all capable of feelingg let me see each wrinkle of your solemn face as a wrinkle 'in my own littlew insignificant life, and profit thereby. With my hand in yours, Uncle Sam, don't let me ever.for get all that you mean to me. , --Grace McBride SUNSE T. The sun playing Wpeek a boon a- cross the stately snow capped mountains and the horizon drips ping with the red rays of sunset, we sat and watched and wondered whether anything could compare with its beauty. Like a star performer at the close of his act with all the beautiful colored spotlights playing on him, so is the sun, before 'the curtain, of night falls closing the cares and worries of the day. , --Paul Riley Page Eighty .4 FACULTY FAREWELLS KCont1nued from page 773 pleasure to NOTx with you May your future be one of success, hacpiness, and enthusiastic ser vice to the world Remember Hthe secret of success IS constancy in purpcse.H Grace Hankamer Seniors, although I have been here only a short while, it has been a privilege and a pleasure for me to be associated with part of your number For each of you, I wish happiness and success in bountiful quantities Sincerely, Ruth Bonner May the the things appre iate yournheart when you come to remember fun you have had and you have learned to be memories that will th rapture fill' Nthe beauty of fire from beauty of em bers.

LTHE HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT CCNSTITUTION WEEK The Constitution of the United States of America has been the ruling document of its country for one hundred and fifty-three years. Since that historic day in September, 1787, when the Con- tinental Congress, elated over the completed document, quietly adjourned, the citizens of the United States have looked to the Constitution for guidance. Thus, the peoples of the United States commemorated the one hundred fif- ty-third anniversary of the com- pletion of their constitution during the week of September 15-- 22 with programs and ceremonies. Honored it was, honored it is, and honored it shall be until there are no more true Americans. LIBRARY NEWS Ethel Malcolm, librarian, re- ports 15O new books in the libra- ry.

A sincere friend and brilliant nstudent, Jack has all of the re- quired ability--and more--to make him a leader of his class as well as among men. Outstanding in many extra-curricular activities, he this year becomes Editor-in- Chief of Qhe War Whoop through three years of -Ebnsecutive, dil- igent service. Obviously there are not many juniors who are against third terms,for Paul Riley,junior pres- ident, is serving his third term. A sturdy blonde athlete with an appealing smile,Paul was a strong contender against the senior nom- inee for the school's most popu- lar boy in his freshman year. A genial temperament and sincerity of purpose make him the ideal lea- der, and his popularity has de- servedly increased with the years.

However,this is not the first year for the dimpled brunette to wear the purple and white, for she was football maid in both her freshman and sophe- more years, and in her junior year was twirler for the band. It is lamentable that this is her senior year, because her Wreignn must be Nshort but sweet.N FOOTBALL CO-CAPTAINS The bright and smiling counte- nances of co-captains Elmer WHi- Hurdlen Moon and Wesley WStinkyN Nunez are prominent within the walls of Port Neches High. Both lettered in football and basket- ball last year, Moon being placed on the first and Nunez, the sec- ond all-district football temm of 1939. Moon was high point man of the county track meet last year, tying the record number of points set by Lyman Bernardg he also took first places in the high--thus- acquiring his middle name--and low hurdles, shot put, and high jump,and represented the Indians at the state track meet. Both are very popular, Moon being elected the most popular boy in high, school last year and Nunez being an outstanding figure at all the social gatherings of the school. Wstinkyn has the reputa- tion of defending the Indians and what they stand for anytime, any- way, and anywhere.

Page Nine INDIANS OVERPOWER VINTON LIONS lContinued from page ll The Indians recovered an at- tempted Vinton punt on the 29- yard line, which set up the only score of a hard fought game. Hines, the Indian flash, carried the ball to the four and Sparks plunged to the one-yard line as the quarter ended. On the first play of the second quarter Hines crashed through center for the first and only score of the game. Webb's kick for extra point was wide. After the first score,the game was an exchanging of puntsg neither team did much gaining be- cause of the wet field. Sparks ripped off several nice gains, but the Indians could not get enough power to cross. the goal lines. The half ended with the ball on the 40-yard line. On the first play of the sec- ond half Webb took a pass from Hines for 27-yards. But the Vin- ton Lions tightened and four plays failed to gain a first down. The ball went over to the Lions, who punted from their own 20, getting off a bad punt which was good for only 9 yards. The Indians carried the ball to the Lions' 21-yard line, but the Lions again subdued another In- dian attack. Vinton gained only three yards in three plays and punted. The punt failed to gain and the Indians again took over on the Lions' 24-yard line. The nearest Vinton came to the In- dian goal line was the 27-yard line. They recovered an Indian fumble on the 29-yard line,but 4 plays only gained 2 yards, thus ending their only chance of scor- ing. In the last quarter Paul Riley, fiery Indian guard, re- covered a Vinton fumble on the l7-yard line. Munlin made it first down ,on the 5-yard line. Again the Vinton line held and the Indians gained only 2 yards in four plays. The Lions kicked from their own 3-yard line.

To present the streamlined ver- sion of the traditional standard ring, a call meeting of the senior class was held Tuesday, September 16, and the ring was unanimously adopted. The modernized standard ring bears the traditional symbols--In- dianheads on the shank and a ship with Port Weches High School embossed on the face--of the stan- dard ring. In form it is a change from the one-piece flat top ring to a two-piece built-up top ring, thus making the ring slightly smaller in face surface with much more depth.

Although they have not gained a r patent name, they are known at the pre- sent time as the habitual slum- berers. Either sitting upright or reclining, these inactive stu- dents who don't participate in ythis recreation Qunlicensed by teachersj are those whose snore is too loud and students who wish to pass. The ringing of the bell furnishes the only means of a- wakening and those students who sleep so sound as to miss the first one are awakened four min- utes later. The price of over- time is a pass, permitting the student to stand one hour. Their plan for the winter is to hiber- nate, until one week before mid- term, at which time Qthey have calculated mathematically! they will copy someone's notebook, study a few days and attempt to pass the testg after this they will resume their favorite past- when that time until spring comes, they will sigh with relief those days of drudgery and toil' near, have passed and summer is which offers an opportunity for rest and peace. xxxxxxxxxx Freshman: HHow many students are there in Port Neches High School?H Senior: NAbout one in every five.H lifllfiklklkllwlvvvklk Mrs. Mac: HWhen we get old, Le- Roy and I are going to move to the farm.W Maribeth Myers Cwho has been day- dreaming about her own romantic affairs and didn't hear the first of the sentencejg Hwhen are you leaving?H Claude Stone: NHave you ever no- i ticed that most'successfu1 men ' are bald?W Bill Holcomb: NNaturally, they come out on top.N xxxxxaxxx vNFishNRobert Sheppard anxious not to pass his corner, poked the A bus driver with his ruler: Wbay is this the Madison Street cor- ner?W Mr. Alexander: UNO, I reckon you call that my stomach?W xx xwxxxxx A POME I sneezed a sneeze into the airg It fell to ground I knew not where But hard and cold were the looks of those In whose vicinity I snoze. +xxw+ exam Cafeteria: Cannibal Edward Earl Boyd: 'WIS I late for dinner?W Cafeteria Cannibal Elmer Moon: 'You is.

On the ,next play he carried to the 8 3yard line and Pellerin then made ht first down on the 7-yard line. Phe Bulldogs tightened at this point and the Indians lost the pall on downs. 9 The Redskins were outplayed the second half, making only one first down and never even threatening to score. The Indian line, led by Allen and Nunez, showed great ower throughout the game. The ain cog in the Redskin backfield s a wnole, showed up brightly in spots but could never get to clicking. I INDIANS AND EAGLES TIE o to 6 I IN THRILLING BATTLE With blood in their eyes and fight in their hearts, each real- izing that a victory might easily ean a district championship, the gort Neches Indians and the Port Acres Eagles met on Saturday afternoon, October 5,in the Indi- Pns' stadium. From the first whistle to the ,last these two teams put on a battle that kept the fans' spines tingling with excitement, and when the dust cleared after the final whistle, the score was tied 6 and 6, this 'll being the second tie in a ,the Redskins. The warriors drew the blood by scoring early in cond quarter, when the covered an Eagle punt on row for first the se- Indians the 27- yard line, from which point Hines made a beautiful run to the Eagle 7-yard line and from there passed to Webb across the goal frr the touchdown. Webb's kick for extra ipoint failed. The Indians recov- ered no less than 6 Eagle fumbles within the 30-yard line but could never get power enough: to push over another tally. Held score- iless until the last few minutes of the game, the Eagles took to the air for their score, with Mo- bart passing to Chesson, who ran down the sideline and went over the goal line untouched. The crowd moaning, groaning, and some even praying as the two teams lined up for the try for extra point that could have decided the victor, the Indians crashed and smothered the try for point.

In these,and her beloved pet shop keeper, Otto Kisschmeier, she delights. Otto Kisschmeier, played by R. G.

Marion's boss, Jim Griggs, played by Edwin Palmer, is usually . a strictly business man, that is until it comes to Marion. Then-- watch out! The brisk young lady of the press, Daisy Fairfax, played by- Grace .McBride, causes much commotion over a little tic- ket that wasn't there. ,Mr. Con- kle, played by Morris Fruge, mar- ches out and demands justice. He has an awful time keeping roomers because of the smell 'issuing forth from the pet shop and be- cause Patsy's rats are always be- ing found by some squeeky female in some outlandish place. Laura Montgomery, the beautiful belle from the South, is played by Edna Mae Carre and gives Marion some competition for Jim Grigg's af- fection.

PORT NECHES EXES AT LAMAR The past few days have been ver y eventful ones in the history of Lamar College. whether P. N. H. S. students are aware of the fact or not, Lamar College has never had a school newspaper, and this year the necessity for one has materialized the dreams of other years. A committee compos- ed of the English department heads forms the boardsof faculty supervisors. Speaking of super- visors a Lamar history professor says that the old English Kings had snoopervisors--he meant su- pervisors-to see that the people paid their taxes, this brings up the inspiration of this column. This reporter has been snoopervis ing around up here at Lamar, con- sequently she feels it her duty to make reports on the P.N.H.S. exes. At a pep rally the other morning she certainly felt proud when that happy-go-lucky, hap-ha- zard, hot trumpeter, Terry McKee, came marching in with the rest of the Lamar band. On the basis of their past-time vacation as shoe salesmen, Buck Smith and Edgar White spent their extra time the other morning trying to convince a girl that she didnft wear size 85 shoe. Charles Landry is a Nfirst stringern of the Lamar Cardinals, and just think---he used to be an Indian! Another P. N. H. S. football player, Norman Lee, has made a discovery. He declared that it is a term which may be applied to any ailment of any man or beast. See him for further details.

All my cramming didn't do a bit of good.N HThat prof asked us questions I never heard of before.N These and num- erous other similar expressions were tossed about by the Betty Coeds and Joe Colleges emerging from the various classrooms,where they had been deeply involved in those nightmares known as mid- semester exams. But the remarks of students who hadn't yet waded into or else had entirely completed their tests told a different story. WSay, what do you think of 'Scat' Davis I think he's tops.W WDid you ride the roll-o-plane? You did? Were'nt you just scared to death? I thought that man was never go- ing to let us out of txere.N All these remarks, wafted about on the air,characterized the current thoughts of the Lamar students during Mid-Semester-Exam-Week, which was also HFair-Weeku. How- ever, all of that is over nowg and your correspondent sees only a few sad faces when exam grades are read and only a few souvenirs of the fair.

What America needed was ?more education for her millions of people so that these people :could fit into the American way for democratic living. 1 The leading educators of Ameri- ?ca consulted each other with the 1resu1t being American Education gweek to be held each year'during ,the week in which Armistice Day ,should fall, the first week hav- ging been observed in the fall of 'l92l.

Again one of Old Time's off- spring has slipped away to return mo more, but in each new birth he gives to the world a new year of opportunity, 'which in turn will slip sway through the same hiatus into eternity. As we grow older, it seems that Time's offspring grow faster. We are turning Life's corners vdth a bit too much speed.

Friday, December 20, and close with the opening of school Janu- ary 6. I extend my very best wishes, sincerest and warmest Christ- mas greetings to each student and teacher in our schools. May you enjoy these holidays with a spirit of laughter, unselfish love, genuine confidence, and a spirit of fellowshi toward evervbod , . P V Y- in America we have so many things to make us happy in this njitter- yu world of chaos that we should thank God to the depths of our hearts and celebrate with a sincere'spirit of love and thoughtful- ness toward our parents'and friends, and with a proper respect for the laws of our country. The most outstanding thing about Christ was His unselfish love toward His fellow man,--friend and enemy alike, this love is what permeates the Christmas spirit. If we are to be truly hanpy, we must forget our worries and cares for the day and make someone else happy, we must forget our personal desires and selfishness, we must radiate joy and harpinees through giving and by doing a good deed for some friend, we must kindle again old friendships by sharing the things we most enjoy. The bringing together of fami- lies and friends with a renewal of friendship and love is the joy and happiness that will live forever. ' Again, best wishes and a Happy New Year. ' --W. J. Holloway, Superintendent Christmas should be something 'more than a time for sending greeting cards, exchanging presents, and enjoying festivities, It is a good time to think of thc things' Christ stands for: right doing, right living, charity, kindness, reverence, and all things good. ' To me one of the outstanding things about Christ was his cou age He did not just follow the popular crowd or take the easy way. He did what he thought was right, taught what he thought was right, and did not hesitate to tell others when they were wrong. He had the courage to do what he believed to be right regardless of the consequences. The people of his home town tried to lynch himg smart lawyers tried to trick him, his closest friends misunder stood himg and the leading citizens of his country hated him, yet he continued in the course he thought right until it led to his death. Truly the courage to do right regardless of consequences was an outstanding characteristic of the Christ.

Begin- ning my short but eventful reign was a luncheon honoring the queen of Beaumont High School and in my estimation, about the most beautiful creature to be found around here. All eleven of the queens met at the Edson Hotel and were taken from there to Miss Burrus's home, where we were ad- mitted by a butler and cordially greeted by Mrs. Burrus, Ann's mother. The luncheon, my biggest thrill of the day, was very ela- borate. Following all introduc- tions and Udo you know so and so?W's a real honest-to-goodness Mexican played his guitar and sang for us while we were served. At 3:15 o'clock cars fdriven by chauffeurs in uniforms andb- all such stuff and things! were sent to take us to the parade, where I spent the remainder of my day as a queen. Dear Old Saint Nick presented each of us with a gift- a box of powder puffs. Riding on the float was just more fun, even though it was a wee bit rough-- especially while floating over those railroad tracks! My only regrets are that I was too far away to see the Port Neches band lead the parade'and that the day was not longer, because it is indeed fun being HQueen for a dayln Have You a Santa Claus Personality by Riley- Woolleyg 'a rcading,g Jest 'Fore Christmas, by Charles Williamsg a talk, 5 New Year's Resolution That Is 3 Good Christ- mag Spirit, bv Lila Christy, and a talk, The Spirit of Giving at Christmas Time, by Jack Owings entertained the class throughout the meeting.

S. Bel- I laire's squad to deliver the lvers' and Pond Upright Piano, which has been in the high school auditori- um for 15 years,to the music room of Building I. The cost of these two pianos was reduced by trading in two old pianos,and also,by ob- taining school and cash discounts, 'the cash being taken from the school budget fund upon the ap- -proval of the school board. ARTIST SERIES CHANGE IS MADE I Two assembly programs, Around fthe World with Jim Wilson, to be 'presented at eleven o'c1ock on -riday, February 7, and Harry J. 'Iason's Circus of Birds,Reptiles, and Monkeys, at the same hour on ??Tday, March lu, will be given on the Artist Series programs re- placing Georgina Ballina, fea- tured Spanish dancer, who did not arrive because of a rain, which .caused the roads to be blocked. The other two programs, Johann Strauss' Waltz Trio and The Ritz .Trumpeteers will be presgnfed as 'originally scheduled. GHCSTS IN THE CHRISTMAS CHEER On the last two days, Thursday ,and Friday, January 16 and 17, of the second week of attendance of school after the holidays there will be much Wohingn but no Nah- ing,N because those are the two days set aside for mid-term ex- laminations, those realistic phan- tasies which determine, with o- ,other things, whether you have learned enough to continue the ,course or just enough to need to lrepeat it. I Hi-Y CLUB The Hi-Y Club entertained with an informal initiation of the new' members on Monday night, December 9, l9bO. After the initiation ceremonies, which the old members 0 I . v n I enjoyed very much, the boys enjoy- ed a game of basketball. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WIN RADIO FAME Port Neches High was well repre- sented Wednesday night, December 11, when E. C. Holland, A, L, Le- Blanc, and Ella Mae Mire appeared on the weekly Jefferson Amusement Co. Amateur Contest, held at the Rio Theatre in Beaumont. With some dozen or more amateurs par- I I I 1 l ticipeting, the runoff was a- A mong the Port Neches students, the winner being determined by applause.

I S' ANNUAL GRUDGE BATTLE tically stopped the Bulldogglsin- WITH BULLDOGS ENDS IN TIE The Indians' last chance to win the district title was blotted out when they met and were held to a scoreless tie with a scrap- ping Bulldog eleven Saturday, Nov ember 23, on the Port Neches grid iron, the Buffs of French High au tomatically winning the district title with this tie. This gave the Indians three wins and two ties,while the Buffs had won four games and tied one, the tie being with the Indians. The Bulldogs got the upper hand early in the first quarter when one of Wills's booming punts was killed on the Indians' one yard line: The Redskins got off a bad punt, which rolled out on itheir own 19 yard line,from which point the Bulldogs carried the ball to the 12 yard stripe, but the In- dians halted the drive and took over on their own 12, immediately punting to safety. This one Bulldog drive was the only real threat in the first half. Although the Indians advanced the ball past the 30 yard line many times, neither team serious- ly threatened to score in the second half. On the last play of the game UDurkien Hines tucked a long spiral under his arm and raced 60 yards down the sidelines seemingly touchdown bound when Wills, his only obstacle, dropped him on the 20 yard stripe. The Bulldogs' tic with the fav- ored Indinns was mainly due to the 'beautiful punting of Tom Wills, who got off booming punts, throughout the game despite the handicap of a wet and slippery ball, which kept the Indians back ed up to their own goal line most of the game. The outstanding player of the .day.was.ECotLnn!nAllen, who prac: gle handed, however he was ably: assisted on the defense b Ber A y - wick and Nunez. Hines,while leadgg ing the Indians' attack,was strc ly supported by Sparks, Carter, and Brackin. Q INDIANS PLACE THREE 1 ON ALL-DISTRICT TEAM .

The menu consisted of a mixed fruit cocktail topped,off with a .Maraschino cherry, lima bean soup with croutons, a crown roast baked in the new electric roaster rice with gravy,'creamed carrots, Brussels sprouts, a vegetable sal- ad,'Parker House rolls, hot cof- ffee,' and pineapple upside--down cake.

Students stood in front of the class making very emphatic spee ches or else talking to someone who was not there The strangest thing about it was that no sound came from the fast moving lips of the speakers I you had investi gated further, however, you would have discovered that these strange actions were only a study of the pantomime E cn student, feeling very self conscious, had to walk to the front of the room and give a dramatic skit, using no audible tones Norman Lee worried two days over whether he should cut the class to escape giving one or go to class unpre pared At tae last minute he de cided to go to class and take his turn with the rest of them I cidentally, his performance was a good one.

Let me see--first a big purple mixing bowl. Oh, here's one shap ed just like the high school. Now for a great big spoon and I'll be ready to begin work. Hm-m. Two cups of brown sugar. Have to be mighty sweet. Guess Joyce Bland about fills the bill. Now for the butter. Wonder if Jack Drawhorn could spare just a little? Mix these ingredients thoroughly and then add four cups of flour. Well, WMushn isn't ex- actly flour, but he'll make a pretty good substitute. Now I must fold in three left-over eggs --Bronson Howell, Herschel' Ander son, and Earl Knight. A cup of milk--well we'll have to use wa- ter, but I guess it won't matter. Just what would pudding be like without candied fruits? I'd like to know. Maybe Letha Rae, Margie, Annabelle and some of the other gals who make up the nsweetmeatn department of dear ole P. N. H.

Students had to goosestep from class to class, girls could use no cosmetics, and fancy hair-dos were prohibited. Boys were compelled to wear a necktie but no sweater. Expres- sion of personal opinion was bar- red and the right of assemblage was taken away. Faculty members were Nstorm troopersn to enforce decrees. The entire project was in fun to show what life would be under totalitarian rule. xxsxxaxxsxxx . Mr. Holcomb: Listen, Jack, are you teacher of this class? Jack Owings: No, sir.

There are rumors that fourth year math is no snap as presented by Miss Mary Cook, but takes an unusual amount of skill end knowledge cena fertitudeb to make the goal. Just think,though, what an accomplishment is made,if this goal is attained All in all, math is god for one's brain because it's supposed to help make one think. What more can we want than some power to help us think?

The playi was a very well-performed tragedyg yet some students were so ill-4 bred for callous! as to sit in E the audience, laughing because of the splendid acting of the cast. You wouldn't laugh if your, grandmother or aunt had a hearti attack, would you? No? Then, Q why did you laugh at the play?, No, don't answer.

This being a great improvement over the record of the previous year, which counted only two triumphs the whole season. The Indians displaying a stel- lar brand of ball, both offensive and'defensive throughout the sea- son, were runner-up in the newly formed Gulf Coast League during the last half. The major victory for the In- dians was a 26 to 25 victory over their oldest rivals, the Neder- land Bulldogs. This, incidental- ly, was the first 'victory over the Bulldogs in the period of 5 years.

In the preliminary tryouts the mile men are Buck Terrell and Bill Por- ter, Dayton Carter leads the halfm mile, the L40 yd. runners of the mile relay team will probably be Dayton Carter, HDarkyN Hines, NJeepH McBroom, and Bill Brackin.

Mr. Goolsby was easily the out- standing player in handling the ball although Herbert Perkins and Dalton Raiford came through with sparkling 'play. Judging from the rooting, both the clmse- mouthed faculty members and the hilarious students' enjoyed the game.

E. Lauer, chairman of the volunteer workers committee of the American Red Cross in the Port Arthur area, discussed and demonstrated the work of the American Red Cross workers. She impressed the girls with the importance and need of volunteers to sew, crochet, or knit garments for folk less for- tunate than they. Exhibiting knitted sweaters, a crocheted shawl, woolen dresses, and some baby garments to be sent to the children of war-torn countries, she stressed the fact that moth- ers and other homemakers, as well as the girls, are especially urg- ed to cooperate in making them. As the result of Mrs. Lauer's appeal, the classes with the ap- proval of the teachers decided to sew for the Red Cross rather than to have the customary home-proj- ects. It was also suggested that each class donate one extra peri- od each week to this worthy cause.

' Financed by the National Geo- lgraphic Magazine, they carried 'out their plans. Having secured jpassage' to England on a tramp gsteamer, they were presented ithere with passports and motor- ,cycles by a company desiring pub- ilicity. From England they went Tby freighter to the coast of Af- Irica, presented their papers at ithe British joff on the fjourney. Z Originally fding, rifles and water, gas for their motor- eycles, extra clothing,and a ban- jo, they eventually gave all their belongings to the natives except their barest essentials-- motorcycles, mosquito net, and the banjo--despite the fact that they were in a section of country in- fested with wild animals and over gun by natives of an uncertain eharacter. ' 2 One night, while encamped by the overflowing banks of a muddy, turbulent river, the two men heard drums beating and discover- ed a village of natives.

There is a logical reason for having it,though--leap year comes only every four years, so what are the shy little las- sies going to do who are too mod- est to openly show their affec- tion for that tall--but not too handsome--football boy' during those three years? Why, by send- ing himw a cute. littlecValentine with lets of lace, hearts, and sweet nothings on it. But these people who won't ce-' operate with Dan Cupid! You boys, when a gal sends you her little token of love, it's not just for the fun of squandering her allow- ance--so, if you haven't already pitched it away, read that little verse again, and if you have any imagination at all, you will catch the hint. There usually is a hint behind all the frills and formality, because girls can be sentimental little things! Who can tell?
