Trojans Beat Reicher, Lose to Connally
by Charles Conner
After opening-up the basket-
ball season with a win over
Reicher, the varsity Trojans
were edged by the Connally
Cadets 38-32 on Nov. 24 in
West.
West led until 4:38 left in the
game after getting out in front
10-2 in one quarter. Dalton
Long paced the Cadets with 16
points while Kenny Sykora had
12 and Randy Kocian 10 to pace
West.
Jeff Denton added four,
along with two each by Jerry
Don McCoy, Darrell Land and
Clyde Lehmann. Mark Gerik
did a good job defensively.
Coach James Holick expects
Mark Snokhous, Billy Bonjonia
and Ricky Wolf to join the team
soon. West will be in the
Robinson Tournament Dec. 3, 4
and 5. They play Cedar Hill at
12:30 p.m. in the first round.
On Dec. 8, West goes to
Connally for two games.
by Charles Conner
A meeting of the West
Athletic Booster Club is set for
8 p.m., Dec. 9 in the Kiwanis
Room at West High School.
Basketball coaches James
Holick and George Snokhous
will be in charge of the program
and several of the Trojan
varsity and junior varsity cagers
will be there.
There were no meetings the
past two weeks, so all club
members are urged to come to
this one on Dec. 9.
Club officers will be having
their pictures made for the high
school annual as an ad and are
encouraged to wear their Trojan
Pride shirts and WHS caps for
the picture.
The club supports all
athletics and recently helped
the varsity basketball Trojans
purchase some warm-up jack-
ets. Cool water fountains, new
red and black lockers and
camera equipment for the
football team were other
projects this club has helped
obtain for the athletes.

THE MOTHER EARTH NEWS
A WREATH
FOR ALL
SEASONS
To begin this homemade
holiday decoration, amass a
goodly supply of pretty evergreen cones, acorns, nuts,
seed pods, and gum-tree “balls". You will then need
to oven-dry your supply of cones. Simply bake them
on aluminum-foil-covered cookie sheets, at 150°F, for
about 15 minutes.
The “base" of your wreath should be jigsawed from
very thin board. After you've cut a hoop the size you
want, take a drill—with a 1/4' or 3/8” bit—and bore nu-
merous holes at random. (They’ll allow you to wire the
foraged baubles in place).
To begin the creative part of your project, take the
end of an approximately 12-inch length of fine wire
and, working from the back of the wreath board, push
it through a hole near the ring's inner edge. Then fold
the wire tip over and twist it... to form a “knot" that
won't pull back through the hole.
Select a number of small, sturdy, nicely shaped cones
(enough to go around the inner and outer borders of the
garland), hold one of them-perpendicular to your
wreath and with its bottom layer of “petals" under the
inner edge of the hoop—next to the wire “knot", and
wedge the cone onto the thin rim of the wood. Next, se-
cure the decoration against the inside of the ring by
running the wire out around the cone and back down
through another hole... so that the working end of the
strand winds up, again, emerging from the underside
of the wreath. Then simply put another cone in place-
pushing it tightly against, and actually enmeshing it
with, the first-and continue the procedure, adding
wire as needed, around both the inner and outer edges
of the hoop.
When the borders are finished, choose a spot to serve
as the top of the wreath, bend hooks in the ends of a 6-
inch length of coat hanger... and fasten the wire tips
through holes in the board to form a hanging loop.
Next, split a number of white pine cones into length-
wise halves and wedge them (flat sides down) into the
space left between the two "border" rings of small
cones .. . until the entire surface of the wreath is cov-
ered. (This layer should fit in place snugly enough so as
not to need wiring.)
To be really artistic, you might want to add a "flow-
er" here and there by cutting away all but the two or
three basal layers of "petals” from a squat cone. Glue
an acorn in the bloom's center. . . wire the brittle blos-
som in place .. . and surround it with symmetrical
groups of nuts, small cones, etc.
When you're satisfied with the balance of your de-
sign, fill in all of the "holes" with alder seed pods, tiny
hemlock cones, acorns, and so forth ... all glued in
place.
Finally, to hide the network of wires on the wall side
of the decoration, glue a felt cover to the hoop's back.
You may also want to protect (and shine) your finished
wildcraft with a light coat of clear acrylic. The result
will be a wreath that is so pretty you may never take
it down!
