Ever ready to serve the best interests of the schools of Poth, the ladies of this group won countywide admiration during the past year with banquets served to the County Teachers’ Association in the fall, the F. F. A. in the winter and the Junior-Senior gathering in the spring. One of the annual tasks of this group is to serve the sandwiches and drinks for the annual girls’ volley ball tournament held at Poth. This was done this year in conjunction with the Band. The results were quite commendable. Most important accomplishment of the year, however, was the purchase ol sufficient knives, forks, spoons, etc., to serve a banquet to eighty-four guests. New officers for the coming year are: Mrs. George Kunkel, President; Mrs. A. L. Orts, Secretary; Mrs. E. J. Billimek, Treasurer.

The outstanding fact this season was that the Pirates were not scored on but once in the conference, this being in the last conference game with LaVernia. Sutherland Springs and Nordheim were also in the District. With outstanding victories and records, the Pirates were then attack- ed by the Orange Grove Bulldogs, champions of South Texas, who defeated them lor the first time in their football history. After winning over Castroville, an outstanding team in their district, the Poth boys were defeated for a second time by Orange Grove, thus ending the season with 331 points to their opponents’ 84. The record of this season was due largely to the splendid co-operation between Coach Carlisle and players. Although coaching for the first time, Mr. Carlisle proved himself very valuable to the Pirates in the field of athletics. The loyalty shown to the coach this year is expected to continue and help bring many more championships into the “Pirate Field of Football.”
