NEWSPAPER
“Backward, turn backward, Oh
time in your flight; make me a
high school teen-ager again, just
for one more football season.”
We realize that we’ve taken
quite a bit of liberty with the po-
et’s wording of these well-known
and oft-quoted lines but we did
it to make the quotation serve
our purpose.
Many times we wonder if our
high school boys and girls realize
what a happy time of life they’re
experiencing and the answer is
always the same — No. We’ll ad-
mit that they have their prob-
lems. A sweet young thing’s boy
friend fails to call when she
thought sure he would; Mom says
she can’t possibly have that new
dress for the dance; a 17-year-old
junior sees his favorite lady-love
making eyes at the star halfback
across the cafeteria; Dad won’t
let Junior use the family car just
when he needed it most, or, no
matter how hard he tries, he
can’t seem to get his English
grade above a B.
These are all real problems,
we’ll agree, but they won’t com-
pare with those they’ll encounter
once they’re out of school and
Sw. ' v
at a rapid rate.
Taxpayers are reminded that
State and County poll tax re-
ceipts or exemption certificates
must be registered with the City
at the Municipal Building on
South Tennessee Street prior to
February 5, 1964, in order to qual-
ify to vote in city elections during
next year.
McKinney High School, in con-
junction with the “M” Associa-
tion, has announced a full calen-
dar of activities for homecoming
Friday, Nov. 8.
Events will actually kick off on
Thursday evening with a giant
bonfire and pep rally on the
north campus of the high school.
Following this will be a game be-
tween the 9th grade Cougars and
Piner Junior High of Sherman.
Ex-students are invited to visit
the school Friday between 8:30
a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Please register
upon arrival in the lobby of the
high school. The pre-game pep
rally will be held at 12:45 p.m. in
the high school gymnasium.
School will be dismissed at 2:00
p.m. that afternoon so that every-
one may view the Homecoming
Parade scheduled for downtown
at 3:00 p.m. Citizens of the city
are asked to decorate their homes
or lawns welcoming former Exes
back “home”. Route of the parade
will be from the make-up area
at McKinney Plaza, Smith Street
to Tennessee, toward town on
Tennessee to Lamar Street, one
block to Kentucky Street around
the square, back to Tennessee to
the Plaza. Questions concerning
the parade should be directed to
Woody Schober, high school band
director, at LI 2-4422. Featured
in the Homecoming Parade will
be the four senior nominees for
Queen. They are:
Miss Nancy Campbell, daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Camp-
bell, RR 4, McKinney; Miss Kar-
en Bryant, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Raymond Bryant, Melissa;
Sharon Smith, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Bill Smith, 1505 Wy-
song, City and Diana Ford, daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. James Ford,
1007 Cole Street, McKinney.
At 6:00 p.m. all former letter-
men are invited to attend a bar-
beque meeting in the high school
cafeteria. Dr. Paul Wilson Jr. is
president of the association and
Wallace Coates is vice-president.
All reservations should be made
through Boyd Williams, M As-
sociation secretary-treasurer. He

Trustees of the Collin County
Junior College met in official
session Thursday afternoon, a
meeting which lasted into the
evening. All trustees were in at-
tendance at the meeting held in
the Community Room of the Col-
lin County National Bank.
President J. M. Whisenant pre-
sided and a number of pertinent
topics were discussed. Among
these matters under consideration
were selection of a site, by-laws
for the Junior College, selection
of an architect, and basic aca-
demic requirement.
Relative to the site selection,
several tracts of land were taken
under consideration, each being in
various parts of the county. Be-
cause of costs, location, and seve-
ral related ideas, the board felt
that further study and considera-
tion was needed before making
a final decision.
President Whisenant, at a prior
meeting, appointed three trustees
to draw up and present to the
board a set of by laws under
which the Junior College would
operate. Serving on this commit-
te were Clifford Carpenter, chair-
man, Ralph Boyer and John True-
lin Memorial Hospital suffering love. They presented their rec-

Edelweiss Club members feel
that cooperation with all clubs

ultimate goal usually gets the
best job done. They stress the
idea of “team-work” . . . not just
within their own club but with
others. Their current project with

McKinney Gets
First Rain
In 43 Days
The first measurable rainfall
in McKinney in 43 days was re-
corded last Friday afternoon
when .17 of an inch was reported
by Capt. Roy F. Hall, local wea-
ther observer, at his home on
Barnes Street in Southwest Mc-
Kinney. The last time enough rain
to measure fell here was on Sep-
tember 12, Capt. Hall said.
Friday’s shower, which varied
from a mere sprinkle in some
sections of the city to an estimated
inch and a half in the vicinity of
the high school, brought the to-
tal for- the year to 24.06 inches,
9.79 inches short of normal for
the first 10 months.

October 31
Is Deadline For
Tax Discounts
Mrs. Doyle Nelson, County Tax
Assessor-Collector, would like to
remind taxpayers that October 31
is the last day to receive a 3%
discount on state advalorem tax
and urges those who want the
discount and have not paid their
tax to do so at once.
Mrs. Nelson also wants to urge
all those who are eligible for poll
tax exemptions to get them at
once. The poll tax exemptions are
free at the present time, but if
the poll tax is voted out in the
November election, there will be
a 25c charge for the exemptions
and also a 25c charge for other
voters who wish to register to
vote. However, even though the
poll tax is voted out in Novem-
ber, any one desiring to buy them
may still do so for $1.75.

Bolins Are Long-Time
Readers of Examiner
Miss Naomi Bolin, daughter of
Mrs. W. E. Bolin of Route 1, Al-
len, came to the office the other
day to renew her mother’s sub-
scription and showed us a clip-
ping from The Examiner .of Au-
gust 19, 1915, in which appeared
an item concerning her family
and a visit Mr. and Mrs. Bolin
and their nine children made to
the office here to watch the press
run.
Mrs. Bolin and her family have
been readers of The Examiner
since 1900 — 63 years — and still
look forward to its arrival in the
mail each week.
Mr. Bolin passed away Decem-
ber 26, 1936, and a son, Ervin
Bolin died July 15, 1956.
Mr. and Mrs. Bolin were mar-
ried in 1895 and lived near Allen
and Lebanon. At the time of the
above mentioned article in The
Examiner, they were working 140
acres of land and the story points
out that “they can pick a bale of

Safeway Stores
Using TV Program
In Campaign
For the first time a television
program is being used as the bas-
is of a special program campaign
by a food company in the South-
west.
Safteway Stores, Inc., has
launched a “The Price Is Right”
promotional effort, tying in with
the ABC-TV network program
which is seen on Channel 8 in
the Dallas-Fort Worth area on
Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m.
Edd Pfeiffer, manager for
WFAA-TV, stated that Safeway
Stores, Inc., had been given ex-
clusive rights by producers of the
television series to conduct the
advertising and promotion cam-
paign. All stores in the Dallas
Safeway division will be partici-
pating.
The basic plan is simple: custo-
mers obtain numbered cards at
Safeway Stores then watch the
7:30 Wednesday night “The Price
Is Right” program on which Host
Bill Cullen will announce the
“Big Money Winner.”
The customer compares the
number on his card with the
amount of money won by the big
winner of that show (and those
throughout the promotion peri-
od). If the numbers correspond,
the customer takes his card to
his nearest Safeway Store to as-
certain his cash prize which can
be up to $500.
Besides the jackpot prize, two
other bonus prizes are offered.
Each card contains one of the
words from the phrase “The Price
Is Right.” When the card is moist-
ened, a word appears. If a custo-
mer collects cards with *all four
words—“The Price Is Right”—
he wins $100 cash from Safeway.
The third prize is merchandise.
The item which the holder re-
ceives will appear on the card
once it is moistened.
Officials of Safeway predict a
total of 13,000 winners will be
declared.
An all-out campaign has been
launched through newspapers, ra-
dio and television for Safeway’s
“The Price Is Right” theme.

LET’S COVER THE HOME
NEEDS FIRST . . . Though not
an official motto of the Edelweiss
Club of McKinney, it might well
be for the idea is just what they
practice.
Established many years ago in
1897, this club has been the prin-
cipal participant in numerous ci-
vic activities and promotions since
its infancy. The town clocks, a
gift of the Edelweiss Club before
the turn of the last century, were
the first gifts of this club. Even
today, these clocks, re-worked and
relocated when the court house
was built, stand as a real land-
mark.
Mrs. Lizzie Burton was one of
the pioneers of this club who
worked with projects such as this
one.
Back when dirt paths made ac-
cess to the cemetery almost im-
possible following a rain, the Ed-
elweiss club of McKinney went
to work to solve the problem.
How? They had the first walks
constructed for the cemetery.
As times change, so do demands
upon society. Feeling a definite
need for education of our youth,
the Edelweiss Club, two years
ago, decided to give a $100 schol-
arship twice each year to some
deserving young person. The mon-
ey has been made available to
students receiving the scholar-
ship upon their entry in college.
Money may be used toward pay-
ment of tuition or for books.
The first recipient of the Edel-
weiss scholarship was Miss Eileen
Spearman, a young lady who was
studying for the mission field at
Dallas Christian College. The club
was so impressed with this young
lady that they offered the second
year’s scholarship to her.
However, Miss Spearman, who
felt that she had received so
much benefit from the club’s as-
sistance, chose to reject the sec-
ond offer because she felt other
students should be given the op-
portunity to receive the same
help.
This year’s selection, Miss
Linda Fisher, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Jack L. Fisher is a student
at North Texas State University
in Denton. (A picture of Miss
Fisher accompanies this story.)
Mrs. Roy Caldwell, a member
of long standing, is the retiring
historian of the Edelweiss Club, j
She, herself, remembers two na-
tional conventions of the Fed-
erated Women’s Clubs, of which
the local Edelweiss Club is an af-
filliate.
Mrs. Caldwell, remembering the
many different activities involv-
ing Edelweiss members, states
with pride that their members
have responded to every call for

citement of our high school days
and we’ll let you in on the secret.
Go to a high school football pep
rally.
If you can sit through one of
those sessions without forgetting
your aches and pains and other
troubles it’s no use, brother.
There’s no hope in the world for
you.
They yell, they scream, they
sing, they dance, the band plays
and, before you know it, you’re
right in the spirit of the thing,
stomping your feet and clapping
vour hands, singing the school
songs, joining in the yells and
screaming your head off right
along with all the youngsters to
whom the most important thing
in the world right then is winning
that next football game. You’re a
teen-ager again and you’re hav-
ing the time of your life.
So, if you’re feeling run-down
if you’ve lost interest in every-
thing but trying to make a living;
if your get-up-and-go has got
up and went — maybe it’s not.
that well-known remedy for tired
blood that you need. Maybe a
visit to the next high school pep
rally will be just what the doctor
ordered.
Try it sometime. You’ll be most
welcome and we’ll wager you’ll
feel ten years younger after one
of those 30-minute sessions.
