“SCHOOL DAY MEMOS”—
• In connection with the ela-
borate home-coming that is be-
ing planned for the November
11 and 12 weekend, an extra lit-
tle item called “SCHOOL DAY
MEMOS” will be featured in the
Gazette. Keep up with it, for it
most likely will reveal some in-
teresting factors, along with re-
newing some dear ole memories
of “days gone by.”
© Did you know the Senior
Class of 1930 was the first Sen-
ior Class of Shiner High School
that wore Caps and Gowns.
Some say it was not favored
just too much by the girls of
the class, because they had to
cover up their new graduation
frocks, but the issue carried and
so it was that the Cap and
Gown tradition was started.
• Can you remember when
all basketball games were play-
ed on the ground?????
® What Class started Class
Day for Seniors? Class of 1921.
The class was to report for play
practice . . . instead they de-
cided to take the day off—left
school—prepared quick lunches
took family cars and drove all
the way to Midway for an all
day picnic. Oh, yes, and there
were two chaperons. Returned
to school by 4 p.m. Can you im-
agine such a wild time?????
• This one’s for Ripley . . .
Shiner 6, Opponents 5—was the
score of a basket ball game at
half time and the same score at
the end of the game. No score
for either team in the last half.
® Did you know that one
basketball season the boys team
had a lady coach? Who??? Why
Mrs. Eula Schultz herself.
© Shiner Hi in years gone by
was known for its great bas-
ketball teams. The High School
teams were sent to the State
meet in Austin 5 years in the
first 8 years of tournament his-
tory. At that time there was no
division between small and
large schools. How well, many
of us remember when Austin
Hi came to Shiner to play for
the bi-district and who won??
Shiner Hi. The game was play-
ed in Legion Park before a turn
away crowd.
• The first basketball team
to reach the State meet at Aus-
tin was composed of the fol-
lowing players: Eddie Bercken-
hoff, Rudy Garbade, Charles
Kasper, Jeffrie Mikulik, Erwin
Kempe, Edwin Mikulik, and
Clifton Monroe, and was coach-
ed by Chas. Chovanetz. Their
first opponent was El Paso Hi.
Talk about an exhibition—Shi-
ner had never played on a floor
before, and with slick soled
tennis shoes, they had many
slips and spills. You might
know Shiner lost that one, but
was fun anyway. El Paso went
on and won the State Cham-
pionship.

readers have any good unusual
“School Day Memos” that
would be of interest to the col-
umn, please jot them down and

Anniversary Celebration Honors
Reverend J. C. A. Pfenninger
A sizable congregation of peo-
ple, including many out-of-
town visitors, were present for
and participated in observing
the 50th ordination anniversary
of the Rev. J. C. A. Pfenninger,
an event which was fittingly
celebrated at United Dr. Martin
Luther Church Sunday eve-
ning, September 18. The sched-
uled observance began with a
worship service at 7:00 p.m.
The sermon for this special oc-
casion was preached by the Rev.
P. L. Wahlberg, President of
the Evangelical Lutheran Sy-
nod of Texas and Louisiana,
headquarters in Austin; while
the local church pastor, the
Rev. E. J. Oehlke, served as
liturgist and was in charge of
the general program, as plan-
ned for the evening.
The church bulletin used for
the anniversary service con-
tained the following brief his-
tory of Rev. Pfenninger’s min-
istry. “The Reverend John C.
A. Pfenninger was born June
14, 1886, at Arneckeville in De-
Witt County, Texas. He received
his elementary education at
Brenham and later attended
public school in Goliad County,
where the Pfenningers had
moved in 1896. In 1906 he felt
the, call to the ministry and,
after preliminary arrangements
had been made, he bade fare-
well to his kindred and friends
and set sail for Europe, where,
in September of 1906, he began
his training for the ministry at
the St. Chrischona Seminary,
located near Basel, in Switzer-
land.
“After the completion of his
seminary work he returned to
Texas and was Ordained in St.
Andrew’s Lutheran Church at
Weesatche (in Goliad County)
on September 19, 1910. The Rev.
W. C. Wolfsdorff, who was then
President of the Texas Synod,
assisted by the Rev. R. Heise,
Secretary of Synod, performed
the official act of Reverend
Pfenninger’s ordination.
“During the forty-one years
in the active ministry, Rev.
Pfenninger served as Pastor of
the following congregations and
parishes: 1910-1911, Trinity
Church, Miles; 1911-1921, St.
James Church, Wuetrich Hill
(near Taylor); 1921-1923, the
Goliad - Inez - Tivoli Parish;
1923-1933, United Dr. Martin
Luther Church, Shiner; 1926-
1933, Immanuel Church, Drey-
er (also Shiner); 1933-1941,
Grace Church, Harlingen; 1941-
1951, George West-Ray Point
Parish; 1941-1947, Holy Cross
Church, Pawnee; -1946, Organ-
ized and briefly served St. Mat-
thew’s Church in Kenedy.
“From 1930 to 1936 Pastor
Pfenninger served as President
of the Texas Synod, having pre-
viously served as vice president
and, prior to that, as secretary
of Synod.
“Upon his retirement from
the active ministry in August
of 1951, Pastor and Mrs. Pfen-
ninger came to make their home
in Shiner.
“Rev. Pfenninger’s labors
have been many, and his works
do follow him. As a Synod, as
congregations, and as individ-
uals, we say, Thank You, Pas-
tor Pfenninger, for your devoted
services in Christ’s name and
for His dear sake!”
Immediately at the close of
the impressive service of wor-
ship, the congregation proceed-
ed toward the front of the
Church’s Nave and entered sin-
gle file into the annex or fel-
lowship hall, each individual
passing by for a warmly ex-
tended hand shake, a word of
greeting and expression of con-
gratulations to the Reverend
and Mrs. Pfenninger and the
ministering clergy. As the gath-
ering of guests, including vis-
iting friends and local church
members, proceeded in line to-
ward the refreshment table,
each person was asked to reg-
ister in a specially provided
guest register. Cake and punch
were provided and served by a
committee of ladies of the con-
gregation. The anniversary cake
was designed in the form of an
open Bible, inscribed with the
sermon text used by the Rev.
P. L. Wahlberg as the basis of
his anniversary message, the
brief sentence recorded in Re-
velation 22:33, namely, “His
servants shall serve Him.”
Following the serving of re-
freshments, letters bearing an-
niversary greetings, congratu-
latory sentiments and well
wishes to Pastor Pfenninger
were read in the hearing of the
entire assembly. These letters
were received from pastors and
congregations of Synod and
from several officials of the
United Lutheran Church in
America who were unable to be
personally represented. Visiting
pastors were asked to bring
greetings and express their per-
sonal sentiments. The program
for the evening was fittingly
climaxed by a message from the
honored and venerable Pastor,
the Rev. J. C. A. Pfenninger,
himself. This eventful observ-
ance will long be remembered
by the many who were present
for and experienced a really in-
spiring and enjoyable evening.

Social Security
Representative
In Shiner, Sept. 26
A representative of the So-
cial Security Office, Victoria,
will be in Shiner at 9 o’clock in
the morning at the City Hall on
Monday, September 26.
Anyone wishing to file a
claim for retirement, survivor’s
or disability benefits should
meet him. He will be glad to
assist anyone having questions
concerning the social security
program.
* * *
Some farm and domestic
workers in this area are not
receiving social security credit
for their earnings and are de-
priving their families of valu-
able financial protection, ac-
cording to Maurice E. Owen,
Manager of the Victoria Social
Security Office.
Most employers have been Re-
porting their employee’s social
security regularly since 1937.
In many cases, this is not true
with employers in occupations
more recently covered by social
security — especially farmers
and housewives.
Farm workers who receive
cash wages of not less than
$150 in a year, or who worked
on a time basis on 20 or more
days during the year for one
farm employer, should receive
social security credit. The same
is true of household workers
who receive $50 or more in cash
wages during a calendar quar-
ter. (This might be as little
work as $4 per week). When the
worker meets these require-
ments, the farmer or housewife
is required by law to report the
total cash wages paid such
workers to the District Direct-
or of Internal Revenue, to-
gether with the social security
tax due on these wages. Farm-
ers are required to report an-
nually. Housewives report quar-
terly.
All employees, but especially
farm and domestic workers,
should keep a record of their
wages. At least once every
three years, they should check
their social security records to
assure that all cash wages have
been correctly reported. They
can do this by contacting the
local social security office and
asking for the postcard design-
ed for this purpose.
Important Facts
About Your
United Fund
In 1957, citizens of this com-
munity formed the United
Fund of Shiner, Texas. The or-
ganization resulted from a
strong conviction that we could
do a better job of fund raising
for our social agencies.
They felt that better financ-
ing of our health, welfare and
character-building agencies
could be accomplished with on-
ly one campaign a year for
agencies eligible for United
Fund support.
Ever since our 13 original
colonies huddled together on
the Atlantic coast, Americans
have been known for the fact
that they will feed a starving
man, help a flood victim build
a new house or shell out hard-
earned dollars to give a crip-
pled child a break in life. May-
be we just think it’s the right
thing to do. Maybe we’re reli-
gious. Maybe we just can’t
stand to see a fellow human be-
ing ruined by forces that he
cannot understand or control.
Americans are great organ-
izers, too. When a group need-
ed help, we formed an agency
to help them. We opened set-
tlement houses, operated clinics,
and provided homes for the
aged and poor. As the years
rolled on, more and more
groups were formed. And
naturally, they all needed
money.
The fund-raising groups be-
gan to get in each other’s road.
Sometimes more than one group
were soliciting funds at the
same time. The public became
confused.
Americans will fight for what
they think is right. And people
who work on behalf of social
agencies often feel that their
caues is all-important. It’s only
natural to feel this way, be-
cause no social agency ever has
all the money it could use.
In a nut-shell, there were
many major fund raising drives
every year, with other small
campaigns. The citizens of Shi-
ner took action and formed the
United Fund, an agency which
asks for only one contribution,
which would distribute fairly to
the various groups.
This is a reasonable, sensible,
and practical plan. The people
of Shiner are urged to give their
whole-hearted support to the
United Fund Drive on Octo-
ber 10.
Don G. Kaspar is general
chairman of the Shiner United
Fund and Dr. August Darilek
Jr. is treasurer. Other chair-
men are: Prospect List, Mrs.
Angeline Sedlmeyer; Prospect
Cards, Mrs. Ann Darilek and
Mrs. Jean Kaspar; Team Or-
ganization, Arthur Ward and
August Maneth; Publicity, Max
Seidenberger; and Special

Mrs. FJ. Schlapota
Enters Rest After
Lingering Illness
Funeral services were held
Sunday morning, September 18,
1960 at 9 o’clock in the Buffing-
ton Chapel, Shiner, for Mrs. F.
J. Schlapota, who passed away
in the Wagner Hospital Satur-
day at 1:55 a.m. September 17,
1960 at the age of 81 years, 8
months and 6 days.
Mrs. Minnie (Hellmith)
Schlapota was born in Bellville
January 11, 1879, daughter of
Adolph and Anna (Fuchs) Hell-
mith.
Survivors include her hus-
band, F. J. Schlapota; a daugh-
ter, Mrs. L. A. (Rose) Endicott
of Texas City; one granddaugh-
ter, Toni Endicott, Austin; one
grandson, Jan Endicott, San
Marcos; two sisters, Mrs. Erna
Crofford, Waco; Mrs. Edna
Lamberth, Bay Cliff; one bro-
ther, Herman Hellmith, Waco.
Organ music with Mrs. Edwin
Gehrels at the instrument,
brought comforting soft strains
of religious hymns preceding
brief impressive rites conducted
by the Rev. John C. Gilbert,
pastor of Shiner Methodist
Church. Following the services
the funeral cortege moved to
Bellville, where services were
conducted at 2:30 p.m. in St.
Mary’s Episcopal Church, the
Rev. Jack Russell officiating.
Burial was in Oak Knoll Ce-
metery, Bellville.
Casket attendants named in-
cluded Hans Lunzman, Halletts-
ville; Walter Paul, Fred Krause,
Edgar Pfeil, Glenn H. Wagener
and Max L. Wolters, Shiner.
Others accompanying the fam-
ily to Bellville were Edwin and
Elo Wolters.
Mrs. Schlapota’s passing fol-
lowed an illness of several
years, during which time she
had been given all that medical
skill and professional nursing
could contribute to her recov-
ery, but all proved of no avail.
Death came as a blessed relief
to a lingering illness.
Mr. Schlapota has been a
valued employee of the Wolters
Bros. Co. office since 1925 and
during their residence here she
had formed lasting friendships
and this had been her home
with the exception of a brief 7
years spent in Westhoff return-
ing to Shiner in 1943.
Beautiful floral tributes be-
spoke the love and esteem of
relatives and friends and
breathed a fragrant message of
sympathy to loved ones in their
bereavement. May her rest be
sweet.
