Miss B was graduated from Beaumont High School and was a teacher there Since she came to Greenie Land as a teacher seven years ago, not one bit of that purple has shown through Whether she is at a football or basketball game, coaching the cheerleaders and Girls Athletic Association, teaching a class, or in a crowd, she is a true Greenie nh These are a few of the characteristics of our Miss B and dedicating the 1955 Spindle-top to her is only a small way to pay tribute to our Choice Crewman 5 'B- bs H -yy I 'if 1 1 . y , . , . . . ,,g 2' ' V- H SQ if Sai - - U . ,, ,, . . . .

Wfhen Helene Cart. visiting student from Switzerland, arrived at South Park, she added a touch of spice that Parkers will long remember. Falling right into the swing of things, Helene enjoyed the same kinds of recreation that all American girls do. We discovered that girls from Switzerland experience a simi- lar social life to ours, and Helene and Gregory mastered the art of jitterbugging quite well together at the Twirp Dance. Helene especially liked Htwirping' here at South Park and her fancy-decorated lunch at the box-supper brought S150 the night of the Frontier Dance.

Helene and Gregory fight to the finish, She answered many inquiries concern- ing life in Switzerland at an assembly program and her reaction to our shirt- tail parade was a lost one, Helene also learned from us what a good old- fashioned slumber party was like and she especially enjoyed herself with the Park- ers at the beach after the Prom. She dis- covered how we are capable ot wasting so much time in class and she was com- pletely bewildered at our Greenie spirit. To watch her expression at basket- ball games was really something to see and one of her American favorites was our Texas-size malts. -. 11 . v, , f ,M ,, 3 -1:43, 'ng -if FROM PROM DRESS TO SHORTS-Helene got in on the events of ii real Texas slumber party as she spent the xxeek-end Lifter the Prom with the senior girls at the beach.

Old-fashioned mule-drawn w ago n s, calico dresses and poke bonnets, blue jeans and cowboy boots, long beards, and patched overalls were all to be seen around S.P.l-l.S. on Frontier Day. This year's activities were way above average as South Park donned its western dress for the February 25th events. Dude badges for those failing to dress west- ern, Miss Zachary's old school bell, and Tommy Plake's lunch pail added a real touch of the frontier to South Park this year. To really ride in style, many of the senior girls came to school on a regular mule-drawn wagon, fbarely arriving in time for the 8:20 bellj, and Mr. Vincent proved to be the best hog-caller around these parts among the contenders.

N e p t u n e 's Court. To get spring activities under way was the junior Class' presentation of Neptune's Court March 4. This year's unusual coronation production was a real sell-out and of course, highlight of the evening was the crowning of the king and queen of Greenieland. In this year's race were joan Turner, Bobby Moseley, and Bobbie Brown for queen, and Gregory I.eN0ir, Herman Sarver, and joe Garner for king. True to form, con- fusion added to confusion on such a night as this. This time, such a happen- ing occurred when Gregory LeNoir's train bearer failed to follow him up to the royal throne and Gregory's missing tooth made his royal smile real entertainment. The program this year took on an aquatic setting as Neptune,s Court provided the background and scenery. Wayne Duerler's imitation of I.iberace was the humorous climax of the produc- tion while Alice Byrd's version of Miss Sadie Thompson was, well, just a cli- max.

Erom the beginning of school the most looked-forward-to-event is always the annual Junior-Senior Prom and this years Prom was exceptional in all respects. The junior Class was certainly to be praised on their outstanding work in presenting such a gala event. To the seniors it was a perfect social finale to four years in South Park High School. Held in the Harvest Club for the first time in the history of S.P,H.S., it proved to be Ll huge success from the reception at 7:30 until the playing of Moonlight Ser- enade as the closing number at one o'clock.

The Indians scored in the first quarter when they made a 33 yard drive from the Greenie 47-yard line for the first touchdown of the night. In the second quarter Port Neches let go for another touchdown. Bobby I.aBorde added the extra point from placement and at half time the score was 13-0. In the third quarter the slippery pigskin changed hands several times as both Greenies and Indians skidded back and forth on the wet field. Port Neches's LaBorde held on long enough, however, to score a third touchdown from the 11-yard line. The Tribe finished the Greenies in the fourth quarter with two more touchdowns, and the final score was 33-0.

The kick failed. The scoring was ended for the first half. The Greenies and the Mustangs fought hard throughout the third quarter. It looked bad for the Greenies as the fourth period started with the Mus- tangs in the lead but things began to look good to the Greenie fans when the team came charging back on a 25-yard touchdown pass from Charles Starcke to senior halfback Robert Sullivan.

Sarver, hard running offensive left half, cli- maxed a seven-play, 51-yard march with the Greenies only touchdown that night against French.

South Park's only scoring threat was made late in the fourth quarter but it was too late. The clock ran out with the Greenies on the Conroe ten-yard line. Statistics were about even. South Park had eight first downs while Conroe had nine. STINGAREES STUMBLE PAST SOUTH PARK The South Park Greenies bowed to the Texas City Stingarees, I5-6 on Friday, November 12 at Greenie stadium.

Judy Frost and Beverly York, seniors, defeated Susie Braugh and Pat Craus of Beaumont High to win the title. This was South Park's first girls' district tennis championship since 1937, when Gladys Vernon and Helen Dunshie advanced to the state meet. Judy and Beverly were defeated in regional meet by Lamar of Houston. Bobbie Brown was defeated in district singles by Beaumont High's state contender, Joan Seale. Coached by Miss Lois Blanchette, the 1955 team boasted four letter winners from 1954. This group formed the nucleus for competition in meets at Galveston, Orange, Port Arthur, Baytown, and Lake Charles. In addition to the four seniors, the squad was composed of one junior and four sophomores who will be out to keep South Park's tennis team in the win columns again next year.
