It was too late when we found
foe lucky penny la the street on
the corner of Black Jack and
Alley Tuesday. It had already
rained, and we had already lost
foe football game. It w|s a dig-
nified, but disappointing defeat.
Kathy Gragg was a step ahead
of us when she said somebody
from Gran bury had burned her
daddy’s initial in the football
field. We thought that “G” stood
for "Good Luck,’ ’and still we
wanted those responsible to
have to eat that burned grass.
Any mention of the crowd at
foe game would be an under-
statement, but it isn’t the first
game we have stood up to
watch. Carla Nell Stevens didn’t
mind standing either, as she had
driven 266 miles from Victoria;
after school Friday afternoon,
and found the change of posi-
tion welcome. Carla Nell had
celebrated her birthday the
week before with a 40 to 0 Lion
victory, and would have hap-
pily postponed the birthday to
get to split the score.
Edwin House thought it rained
fish, when after days of per-
severance and small reward, he
caught a 37 pound catfish at
Ben Robbins lake Monday.
Asked if he had to get help to
pull it in he said no, that he
managed it by himself, but his
wife, “Jake”, encouraged him.
“Tater” couldn’t be bothered
with the aftermath of cleaning
and disecting his booty, but left
his catch at foe locker plant
and went right back to the lake.
Fleyd Armstrong said , las
thought they came in pairs.
When the rain that the dry-
land Purves peanuts needed in
September came dripping in a
month late it caught Dale Cook
with some in the bank, some in
the sacks and some in the
ground. Hap Tatum was barely
under the wire, which he said

(with Coach Johanfe Gragg)
We are disappointed in the
outcome of our first district
7-AA dash. The coaches felt
that we would be in a better
position to play a strong Gran-
bury ball cMb if we had had to
play them later in the see
It was a misfortune that we
drew them this early in the dis-
trict season.
Realizing that Granbwy was
an undefeated bag dub, we still
felt that 4* mfeatos of oar

victory. Granbury to a ball dab

just concerned about saving foe
soil and water from erosion. We
must look farther than just our
own farms. As members of soil
conservation districts and a s
businessmen and leaders of our
communities, we must concern
ourselves more about what is
happening to the purity of our
streams and lakes from which
most towns and dties get water
