Mr. Albritton seems to be very interested in the football game. No wonder the Grey- hounds have just scored a touchdown and are leading Sinton. The band honored its seniors by playing the Alma Mater for them. Mrs. J. W. Albin of the first graduating class of Taft crowns Ellen Sue Pressley Homecoming Queen as Butch Pres- sley presents her a bouquet of roses and a trophy. Jerry Web- ber, Sue's escort, stands by watching.
