CUTTUN PICKER ROBSTOWN HIGH SCHUOL RQBSTOWN, TEXAS 1 9 5 8 Signs of our times are not found only in the cluttered jumble of posters and bulletins that deco- rate our halls or the banners and billboards of our town. Interest in imported cars, from sports models to economy types, our first foreign exchange student, and the furor caused by the first earth satellites are all signs of our time, as well as new Chemise fash- ions and the rhythmic strains of Raunchy blaring from car radios. The annual staff has tried to record this school year as you have lived it, bringing into focus the varied signs of our times.

Well-known as a tennis coach, Mr. Hoover has trained two state champions during his ten years at RJ-LS. Both football and basketball players value his comments on their games, knowing he is keenly interested in both sports. You who have taken his courses in reasoning and logic, participating in spirited discussions on Bermudas, Pres- ley, and sack dresses, as well as you who have known him as coach on the tennis Court, will understand why we dedicate the 1958 Cotton Picker to the master of s1nes, dihedrals, and para bolas Mr Hoover s... --....., VM Mr. Hoover checks a problem in plane geome try, giving special attention to the reasons for the proof. Besides plane geometry, he teaches first and second year algebra, solid geometry, and trigonometry. xx Mr. B. C. Banks, Superintendent of Schools, is in charge of the school system and its many re- sponsibilities. He listens to all problems con- cerning the schools and aids in finding solutions. He is known to the students through his attend- ance at pep rallies , assemblies and football games, and for his keen sense of humor. Admini tration Problems facing the board of education this year included the enrollment trend and the necessity of raising scholastic standards. The board met with citizens' committees to discuss financial resources, building needs, and rising enroll- ment. Scholastic standards in high school were raised by eliminating the special diploma. The members of the board are, left to right: Clifton Frasier, Arthur Merritt, jr., Pete Lopez, B. E. jauer, vice-president, Paul Mason, president, and Orville Dennis, secretary.

Of course Turi didn't wear her national costume to school, it did, however, add a great deal to several festive occasions and parades in Robstown. Signs of our times is further expressed in the welcoming of our exchange student, Turi Glenne. The ex- exchange student program provides the opportunity to exchange ideas and gain further understanding of each other's problems. Only through this exchange of ideas can tensions of the world be lessened. A familiar sight around R.H.S. is Turi with her many books and of course her box of sta- tionery. One of the courses required of exchange students is American History. Here Turi, in the Norwegian knit swe at e r , is adding to the day's discussion being led by Mrs. Bauer. 'iltlkva l First Exchange Student Turi Ieams the finer points of making a T.D. from Coach Rittiman. Her screams of excite- ment were a familiar sound before the end of football season. Girls in Bermuda shorts are a common sight in South Texas, but Turi's vote for the shorts was definitely negative. However, a few warm days were very persuasive in changing her attitude, and soon Turi had joined in the parade of Ber- muda shorts. , my do - Mr. Corder and Mr.Teague seem very interested as Turi explains the meanings of the grades on her matriculation certificate which she brought from Norway.

For the first time, the Freshman Class supported a fine football team and five lively cheerleaders who led a loyal band of freshman pep squaders throughout the season. Like their older counterparts, the Lil'picker cheerleaders wore colorful uniforms of red and white. The circular skirts were lined with candy-striped material which peeped out as the girls jumped about leading the yells. Phyllis Troutman, Betty Wheeler, Vicki Martin, Sharon Thompson, and Sally Goodridge are the five cheerleaders.

The entire Picker line, sparked by Dale Bullock and Johnnie Cooper, tackles, and Bobby Gallagher, end, caught fire and kept the pace through most of the game.

A near capacity crowd at Robert Driscoll Sta- dium saw favored Beeville claim a 27-19 victory over the Cottonpickers in their first district game. The Trojans moved in fast in the first period.

The 26-20 score indicates that it was a battle royal, which opened with a touchdomm by Pete Cruz in the first seconds of the game and maintained its exciting tempo throughout the game. The Cuero Gobblers, with one eye on the district crown, rolled up three touchdowns in the second conference game of the season to defeat the Pickers 20-O.
