FESTIVAL IN SAN ANTONIO
Robert Hutchinson, director of
the band in the John Tarleton
college, presented the college
band and crack company in the
school band festival of the Bat-
tle of Flowers at the Alamo sta-
dium in San Antonio last Thurs-
day evening April 24, at 6:30
p.m., and in the Battle of Flow-

Mr: and Mrs. W. A. Burtschell,

Those of you who have re-
collections of the early 1900s
and the very early automobile,
will perchance recall a riding
machine under the name of
Krit.
One such auto, viewed by in-
terested customers and visitors,
stands serenely in the shop of
Ben’s Garage, at Wallis, whose
owner Ben Motl, purchased the
contraption from his uncle, Fr.
Polcak at Industry. A 1914 mo-
del, the car has carbide head
lamps with kerosene park lights,
and a left-hand gear shift. The
speedometer reading is register-
ed off the right front wheel.
Erwin Motl, who is with the
garage staff, said he and his
brother believe the automobile
Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Skeete,

Freeport band won third place
in their division, and has only
been organized one year.

ASSEMBLY PROGRAM
On Wednesday, April 23, the
Sealy school enjoyed very much
a program that was presented
by the 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades,
under the sponsorship of Miss
McKinley, Mrs. Josey, and Miss
Grubbs. Many parents and oth-
er visitors were present. The
program was as follows:
First grade:
Playmates—song by all.
Citizens of the Town—play by
the class.
Second grade:
Opening speeches, by Jerry
Pavlicek, Alicia Campbell, Sid-
ney Dell Johnston.
Old Mother Pig, by Leroy
Doss.

dents.

short play by several students.
Announcements — made by
Jacquelyn Hawthorne.
Third Grade:
Songs, by Pebble Doss, Janet
Schroeder, Nelda Salmon.

death rate down? Barbara Rice.
The Curtis Co., is giving us
a fine chance for building a
better baseball diamond, having
lights on the tennis courts, get-
ting more and better picture
shows, or buying library books.
Carolyn Krampitz.
The scenery in Texas is es-
pecially beautiful in the spring,
the pines, bayous, and rivers of
the East; the hills, valleys, and
lakes of the North; the plains,
steep mountains, water falls, and
even cactus plants of the 'West;
and the most beautiful of all,
the South—rolling green pas-
tures, fine herds, rich farm
lands, modern homes, smooth
highways, great cities, and fields
of bluebonnets, dotted with In-
dian blankets. Jewel Gebhardt.
Reading Certificates
Five more of our students
have applied to the State De-
partment of Education for Read-
ing Certificates. These pupils,
who have read 30 or more ap-
proved books, are Tempie Boyd,
Geraldine Bischoff, Norma Coo-
dy, Eleanor Klopsteck, and
James Maler. Congratulations.
Fire Prevention Posters
Every pupil in the 8th grade
made a fire prevention poster
according to the rules and regu-
lations set forth by the Texas
Fire Insurance Commission for
the annual poster contest. The
class elected Mrs. Metzler chair-
man, Mrs. Bradfield, and Mr.
Hluchan, to judge the posters.
They agreed that the best one
submitted was a painting by
Jewel Gebhardt. One part of
Jewel’s picture depicted a man
extinguishing a camp fire in a
verdant wood; the other scene
showed fire blackening it all
because of the carelessness of
campers. This painting has
been sent to Austin by Miss
Brune as an entry in the state-
wide contest. Others that were
excellent for the thoughts ex-
pressed and for the artistic work
were made by Calvin Remmert,
Eleanor Klopsteck, Joyce Sal-
man, Theresa Callas, Geraldine
Bischoff and Dorothy Kabell.
The Goat
The eighth grade had the goat
for three days. The goat stays
with the grade that sells the
most magazines each day. The
first day, Alice Lepp brought
the goat for us for selling $2.00
worth. The next day the goat
came to visit us again through
the work of Calvin Remmert
and Max Hinze, who sold $17.00
worth of subscriptions. We were
thrilled Friday, when for the
third consecutive day the goat
came to our room. This time
Verne Luedecke had done the
good work.
Monday morning, the Sopho-
mores “copped” the goat with
sales amounting to $29.00.

fat letter.

Verne, future postmaster.

Wonder why William is using
energy to comb his hair?
Joyce, tennis star.

Radio Commercials
“Does your washing come out
dingy? If it does, you had better
try Oxyrinse. Remember Oxy-
linse spelled backwards is Es-
niryxo.”
You can turn on the radio and
hear one every quarter hour
Commercials — what everyone
talks of but does nothing about.
The longest word in the Ame-
rican vocabulary is the one fol-
lowing “and now a word from
our sponsor.” One well-known
comedy program is interrupted
4 times in 30 minutes for a com-
mercial, and it usually tells the
same thing each time.
Radio commercials can be
worked in pleasantly with the
program. I offer as an example
a Sunday night comedy—Jack
Benny’s program. This prog-
ram’s commercial is almost as
popular as the star. If we had
more like this, the radio aud-
ience would enjoy itself much
more.
By Joyce Salmon
This edition of the Tiger’s
Roar is a project of the 21 pu-
pils of the 8th grade, in charge
of Tempie Boyd, class reporter,
and sponsored by their teacher,
Miss Brune.
Editorially Speaking
Tennis courts are made to
play tennis on, not for other
purposes. Backstops are to stop
tennis and not base balls. Verne
Luedecke.
I hope that you know when
the chewing of gum is all right,
and when you should not chew
it. Theresa Callas.
What would happen if 2 pla-
nets hurled into space and crash-
ed into each other? Tempie
Boyd.
Not to study your lessons is
a neglect of yourself as a stu-
dent. Norma Coody.
Be courteous to others. Erna
Schelburne.
We cover our text books to
keep them clean. Why not keep
our library books covered too?
Calvin Remmert.
When you leave soda water
bottles on the campus, some of
them are broken and barefoot-
ed children may cut their feet.
Jack Carlin.
You can get along better with
another person if you say nice
things. Geraldine Bischoff.
As I look into the future, I
see pupils having a good time
in the gymnasium of a new
school building. Marvin Schind-
ler.
Selling magazines is of real
benefit for the school. It gives
the school money for the plea-
sure of the pupils. Last year
this money helped to build ten-
nis courts. Gerard Necker.
The conservation of wild flow-
ers in Texas calls for the co-
operation of everyone of its
citizens, and of the visitors from
other states and countries. Elea-
nor Klopsteck.
When you get a report card
with good grades, you show it
to other pupils. Do you hide it
when it is bad? James Maler.
There are thousands of peo-
ple dying every day just be-
cause of someone’s carelessness.
