Miss Oneida Tuxworth is hena®
from Huntsville for th® h@Ifdl@W
Austin, Texas, Dec. 23—Much in
terest is being manifested in the
placing on sale throughout the
State of Texas Centennial silver
50 cent pieces by the Texas Amer-
ican Legion, to be sold at a dollar
each, the proceeds to be devoted to
the erection of a Texas historical
museum on the campus of the Uni-
versity of Texas here in connec-
tion with plans for the Texas Cen-
tennial celebrations of 1936.
The coins were made available
by the passage of an Act of Con-
gress in 1933, which was signed
by President Roosevelt, June 15,
of that year. The coins are unique
in that in their designs, are to be
found the six flags under which
Texas developed, the Lone Star Of
the State, the Alamo and the faces
of Stephen F. Austin, and Geh.
Sam Houston.
The project has the approval of
the Texas Centennial Commission,
which in the measures it presented
to the recent special session of
the Legislature, made financial
provision for aiding the Legion in
its worthy endeavor, while only
recently the executive committee
of the Commission expressed the
opinion that the Commission and
the Legislature should cooperate
with the Legion in this respect,
suggesting aS Late appropriation
of from $100,000 to $250,000 to
supplement funds raised through
the sale of the coins
A large supply of these coin's
have been received in Silsbee and
the first one was sold to G. W>
Hosea last week. Commander Din-
an and Adjutant Bracken are push
ing the sale and their picture ap-
peared in one of the daily papers
of the nearby metropolis showing
them consumating the sale.

of this week at 7:30 at the School
Auditorium. Mr. Leon Shine, pres- :
ident of the organization, expects
every ex to be there at this import- -
ant meeting. If the night is cold, j
the auditorium will be heated, so
don’t stay away on account of the i
weather.
For a number of years it has i
been the practice of the Ex-Stud- ■
ent’s Association to hold an an- ;
nual banquet during the Christ- ■
mas holidays. The members came
and ate and laughed at the toast-
masters’ jokes and then went home
without accomplishing very much.
This year, the officers decided i
that instead of a banquet it would •
be better to have a get-to-gether '•
meeting and discuss the future
route of the Association. In other
words, it has been decided! that
the ex-students of Silsbee High
School should have some definite ;
goal to reach, and that now is the ’
time t-o set the goal. One of the
things now in mind is the dedica-
ticn of the new gymnasium when -
it is completed. And an active ‘
sponsoring of the Athletics.
Not only will your presence be
appreciated at the meeting Thurs-
day night, but you will no doubt
want to voice your ideas relating
to any proposed action. It is one
of the most important meetings
the exes have ever had, so be on
