Third is charm! This was
proven last Saturday when our
local high .school basketball team
played Gonzales high school.
The game was the very best of
the season, for never had there
been such a fast, clean game.
Not only was the game good,
but the results. Shiner piled up
the score to 24, wlr'le Gonzales
made the score of 20. The Gon-
zales boys fought hard to prevent
the Shiner boys from winning*
but Otto showed them what stars
(that is, basketball stars) are
made of. Otto is a senior and
ball player to be proud of; be-
cause if he can plow as prettily
as he threw goals, he will some
day be a successful farmer. As
a whole, the entire team played
very well, but they were disap-
pointed to see so few spectators
present. They hope to see more
present at the next games, be_
cause half the winning depends
on the rooters. Besides the
game, the high school provided
for all the “pep.” The “gang”
is not noted for such melodious
voices, but they can make a
plenty racket and give the boys
the desired spirit to play.
The entire school has selected
a song known to them as their
school song. This song is sung
at every chapel meeting; and
when it is sung, every school
child is supposed to rise. This
shows loyalty to their school.
By special request the Bomber
was asked to publish the words:
We're Loyal to You.
We’re loyal to you, Shiner High,
Shiner Couple Wed

Mr. Willie Dreyer and Miss
Emma Vrazel were quietly mar-
ried Wednesday evening Jan.
23d at 7 o’clock at the Catholic
Rectory on Agnes St. Rev.
Laben reading the marriage
ceremony.
The bride was attired in a
modish frock of Biege crepe,
hat and shoes in harmonizing
tints. The groom wore a busi-
ness suit of blue serge.

Mrs. J. L. Peters. Others attend-1
ing the wedding were the brides
,aunt, Miss Edna Baros and also
her cousin Miss Lillian Vrazel. j
Following the ceremony a de-1
licious wedding dinner was ser-;
ved at the home of the bridesj
uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. j
J, L. Vrazel, for the entire wed- j
ding party. Mr. and Mrs. Dreyer
were guests at the Giles Hotel
for several days before leaving
for San Antonio. They will make
their home at Dreyer where a
cozy cottage awaits them.
The bride is the charming
daughter and only child of Mr.
and Mrs. J. R. Vrazel of Shiner
while the groom is the industri-
ous son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed
Dreyer of the Dreyer section.
The Gazette joins the scores of
friends in wishing for the young
couple much happiness in their
wedded life.
