HARPER ROLLS ON
Harper defeated Tivy J.V. in
a non-district game by a score
of 13-0 here Friday night, Sep-
tember 10. Many fans from
both sides came to watch the
action.
The first quarter the Antlers
won the toss and decided to re-
ceive. There was a fumble by
Tivy and recovered by the
Longhorns and then they
sacked Richard Boutin; Harper
fumbled and Tivy recovered.
Tivy’s Gabe Delgadillo ran the
ball almost to the goal line but
was stopped by the Harprr de-
fense. There was another
fumble by Tivy but Bret Boyd
recovered the lost ball. Then
Tivy’s Clifford Wood went for a
long run and was tackled by
Rudy Rangel. Tivy’s David
Garza threw a pass intended
for Ray Holliman but it was
intercepted by Charles High-
smith.
Toward the end of the first
quarter there was another
fumble by Harper and it was
recovered by Tivy. There was a
long run by Tivy’s No. 46 and
then Tivy fumbled and Harper
recovered. Starting the second
quarter, Rudy Rangel punted
and Ray Holliman received.
They penetrated the Harper
territory but failed to score,
then there was a fumble by
Tivy and Harper recovered.
Harper failed to make the first
down, and Rudy Rangel punted
to Tivy. Tivy’s Clifford Wood
was stopped by Raymie Ficker,
Donnie Jung, and Charles
Highsmith.
Interrupting play by play
action, a dog chanced upon the
field. Another pass by Tivy was
intercepted by Highsmith. Har-
per penetrated the Tivy terri-
tory and with four seconds left
in second half Harper’s Mike
Ficker went in for the touch-
down and the score at halftime
was 6-0.
The second half started off
with Tivy’s No. 46 kicking off;
Raymie Ficker received and
then fumbled and Harper re-
covered their fumble. Harper
had to punt on the fourth down
situation. Tivy fumbled on the
third down but recovered. They
then went for the first down
with three to go and Holliman
made it. Gabe Delgadillo then
went for a long run and took the
Antlers to the 40 yard line.
Gabe Delgadillo tried for the
goal line again but Harper’s
Dwain Cornelius stopped him
short. Tivy then fumbled and
Harper’s Mike Ficker picked
up the fumble. On fourth down
situation, Rudy Rangel punted
and Tivy’s No. 15 received the
punt return. The Harper de-
fense blocked off Tivy’s Clif-
ford Wood and he did not gain
any yards; a clipping penalty
was called on Tivy for that
play.
Starting the fourth quarter,
Tivy’s No. 44 twice sacked Har-
per’s quarterback, Richard
Boutin. Richard Boutin pass to
Harper’s Mike Ficker who
made a gain of 25 yards. Tivy’s
defense then forced Harper to
punt and Clifford Wood carried
for lost yardage. Tivy fumbled
and Mike Ficker recovered the
ball. Harper was forced to punt
again and Donnie Jung tacked
on the punt return. The Harper
offense then recovered the ball
and James Hagan went in for
the touchdown with 56 seconds
left. James Hagan kicked a
field goal which was good and
made the score Harper 13 and
Tivy 0. Tivy tried to make one
last leap toward the goal-line
with passes but failed.

MARCHING FORTH!!
Many comments in the
stands Friday night were about
the band and their fine per-
formance. They played “Star
Spangled Banner” Idee profes-
sionals and under the leader-
ship of Mr. Young, the new
band director, provided excel-
lent music during the game.
Led by Tammy Harper, drum
majorette, the band did some
precision marching during half-
time. The band and Mr. Young
are a real asset to Harper High
School.

FOCUS: FIVE
In the fifth grade this year
there are nineteen students —
seven girls and twelve boys.
Their teacher is Mrs. Masser.
They have studied the solar
system and drawn charts of the
planets and their moons. They
made posters of the five basic
regions of the United States to
hang on the wall in their room.
In art they have done some
“scratch art”. They made
some posters which had slog-
ans for Harper’s football team.
They brought the posters to the
pep rally and won the spirit
stick for showing how much
school spirit they had. The
coaches put the posters in the
dressing room for the players
to admire.
The class consists of the fol-
lowing: Lisa Bode, Jeff Bode,
Debbie Bode, Merlinda Co-
lunga, Fernando Colunga, Ger-
ald Masters, Jim Peril, James
Sivells, Gordon Wheeler, Fer-
nando Chapa, Trisha Teague,
Tracy Cagle, Jeffrey Reddick,
Emil Tatsch, Ramona Fritz,

ELECT JOE MIKE EGAN
District Attorney,
216th Judicial District
JOE MIKE EGAN
You often ask which political party I
belong to. (I'm a Republican). While a
plenty fair question in every way, this is
Not A Question About Job Peformance.
The measure of a D.A.’s job performance is
a blend of: (1) His Level of Competence
As A Lawyer; and (2) how much of a Hard
Worker he is. If elected, I will treat the
office as a Full Time Job and Give It My
Best. Whether my best, as measured
above, is the best available to you is a
question you might want to direct some
attention to.
After a little thought any one of us would
see difficulties in getting elected on a
WRITE-IN VOTE. For one thing, almost
everybody has learned how to make an X.
Simply from knowing that you have been
able to read this far, however, makes it
(Pd. Pol. Adv., paid by Joe Mike Egan)
appear a safe bet that you also know how
to WRITE. More seriously, and as you
know, this WRITE-IN IS asking extra effort
of you.
A Final word - if you haven’t already,
START DOING YOUR THINKING NOW.
Predicting the future from the past, the
couple of weeks immediately before the
election will be pretty well cluttered up
with a media and signboard blitz from the
different candidates. No matter how well-
intentioned, this creates risk of causing
the unprepared voter to cast his lot
November 2nd with the name he had then
seen and heard most recently and often.
With your thinking done and YOUR MIND
MADE UP REASONABLY IN ADVANCE, all
this can go sailing harmlessly over your
head.
Thank you,
JOE MIKE EGAN

Three of Five
Receiving SS Checks
Are Women
Three out of five adults get-
ting monthly social security
payments are women, accord-
ing to Jules Gipson, social se-
curity branch manager in
Kerrville.
“About 27 million people 18
and over get social security
payments,” Gipson said, “and
about 16 million are women.
Over 7 million women get re-
tirement benefits based on
their social security works re-
cords. That’s over 20 times as
many as in 1950.”
A working woman can retire
as early as 62 and get reduced
monthly payments on her re-
cord. Or she can wait until
she’s 65 and get full benefits as
well as Medicare coverage.
“But if she’s entitled to high-
er benefits as a wife or a widow
on her husband’s record,” Gip-
son said, “she’ll be paid the
higher amount.
“The working woman also
has disability and survivors
protection from social secur-
ity,” he said. “If she becomes
severly disabled and isn’t ex-
pected to be able to do any
work for a year or more, she
and her family may be eligible
for monthly cash payments
from social security. After
she’s entitled to social security
disability benefits for 24 conse-
cutive months, she is eligible
for Medicare.”
Over 614,000 children get
monthly social security pay-
ments based on their mothers’
work records, according to
Gipson. “A child entitled to
benefits based on the mother’s
record can get payments even
though the child’s father may
be working at a full-time job,”
he said.
