P. E. GIRLS
START TUMBLING
If one were to pay a visit to
2nd and 3A girls physical edu-
cation class, he will find that
tumbling Is now In full swing.
Under the supervision of P E
girls are learning to perform
stunts using their skill and
balance.
The girls began tumbling by
' doing individual and group
stunts. Following this, they
proceeded to imitate the walks
of various animals, such as a
duck and snake, After accomp-
lishing this feat, they made fur-
ther progress by learning to do
rolls, dives, balance, and springs. |
As the climax of tumbling the
girls will build a pyramid. This
feat will require the skill and
balance of each individual.
When asked about a reason
for tumbling, Mrs. Morgan re-
plied, I believe that learning
to use your body is most im-
portant."
Mary Beth Smith commented
that when you tumble you find
muscles you didn't know you
had.
Judy Snokhous and Jeanette
Makovy both agreed it was a lot
of fun, but left you “sore" a day
or two.

BAND GETS
NEW BEAT
Until a month ago, the drum
section of the band was forced
to play with drums that were
extremely outmoded. These
drums were warped and could
not hold the drum heads at an
even tension. This made the
beat erratic and weak. With the
new set, which were recently
purchased, the drummers can
now sound off with the pride
they have for the band.
Mr. Berrtman Taylor, band
director, stated, "These drums
and other equipment were need-
ed to give the band a sound
they could be proud of."
Mr. Taylor also purchased a
new saxophone because the
horn which It replaced could ho
longer deliver the tones required
of it from military-style music.

SHOP BUILDS
BARBECUE GRILLS
Boys in Mr. R. C. Griffin’s
first period shop class are build-
ing barbecue grills as their shop
projects.
The boys cut the barrels and
reattached parts of them with
hinges and constructed the lids
to the grills. The Itgs were made
by welding steel rods to the
bottom of the barrels and then
attaching cross-pieces for added
support.
By using blue prints that
were already drawn and adding
small touches of their own, the
students formed many varied
and interesting designs. Those
constructing grills were Clayton
Iluwaid, Herman Middleton,
Jim Wilcox, and Raymond Ko-
lar.
"I always wanted a place to
do outdoor cooking, and build-
ing the grill made it all the
more fun,” said Clayton How-
ard, sophomore.

LOCAL V.F.W. POST
WILL REWARD FIVE
Five seniors will qualify for
local awards in the “Voice of
Democracy” contest sponsored
by the VFW and its Ladies
Auxiliary.
Conducted through the sen-
ior civics classes, the program
gives high school students the
opportunity to voice their op-
pinion on patriotic themes, this
year's theme being “Freedom’s
Challenge,”

pants to refer to their race,
creed, or national origin, or in
anyway to identify themselves
in the script. Speeches must
be not more than five minutes
nor less than three and one-
half minutes in length,
Mr. Johnny Riggins, civics
teacher, will deside which five
seniors are best qualified for
local awards. One from these
five will be selected for district
competition.
State winners will compete
for national awards, Including
scholarships ranging from $1,-
000 to $5,000. Fifty-three all-
expense paid trips to Washing-
ton, DC., will be awarded the
national finalists.
School and community con-
tests close on Dec. 9.
HALLOWEEN PARTY
BRIGHTENS DAY
FOR CHILDREN
Homemaking II girls celebrat-
ed Halloween by giving pre-
school-age children a party In
each class Wednesday, Oct. 30.
Wearing their Halloween cos-
tumes, the children paraded
around the school and had their
costumes judged by different
teachers.
Snacks served at the party
were tuna sandwiches, potato
chips, punch, and cup cakes.
All children received balloons
and a trick-or-treat bag with
candy as favors.
Twenty-two children attend-
ed the party at fourth period,
and twenty at fifth period. The
homemaking lab was elaborate-
ly decorated with pumpkins,
goblins, skeletons, and stream-
ers of traditional Halloween
colors.

Recently when the Home-
making girls toured Hamilton’s
Furniture and Sears in Waco,
they put their knowledge of In-
terior decorating to practice.
The girls criticized furniture
arranged in rooms as well as
furniture color schemes. They
received information from Mr,
Staton at Hamilton’s and Mrs.
Heathington at Sears,
Throughout all of recorded
history, furniture has paralled
the progress of art and culture.
From class discussions and ob-
servance on the tour the girls
learned that each furniture
type exhibits the advancement
of art and culture of the age in
which it is produced. Also var-
ious types emerge from social
classes. For example, carved
furnishings dominated Euro-
pean castles during the Dark
Ages, while peasants used crude
benches and tables.
Furniture of today recalls the
best in design as well as the
materials they are made for, A
study of the following seven
furniture styles was conducted
to enable the girls to recognize
them by name.
Early American furniture Is
made mostly of maple. Sofas
and chairs have higher backs
which generally have attached
pillows filled with soft cushion-
ing material.
The Country Look has an ab-
sence or ornamental carving,
and it Is similar to French Pro-
vincial with a scrolled wood
base.
Traditional furniture Is com-
pletely upholstered, and It Is of-
ten covered entirely with fab-
ric. Backs are softly tufted
with an open or closed diamond
effect.
French Provincial has floral
prints which are less formal In
design than those used on tra-
ditional. All of the prints can be
quilted and given a look of ele-
gance.
Italian Provincial has straight
simple lines. Loose cushions are
used against the backs of sofas
and chairs. Decorative use is
made of ornamental metal
drawer pulls. Cherry, walnut,
and lighter tones of fruit are
often used.
Mediterranean is a decorative
type of furniture with deep
mouldings and carved detail-
ings. Mediterranean designs are
massive in appearance and em-
phasize ornamentation.
Modem Furniture reflects
the needs of today. New ma-
terials such as plastics are used,
and this furniture may be rec-
ognized by the absence of orna-
mentation.

Chevrolet’s got a big surprise for
the guy who’d buy a sports car if
only it had more room. It’s the
Impala SS 427.
Like all hnpalas, it comes with a
119-inch wheelbase, Astro Ventila-
tion and full door-glass styling.
Like all Chevy Sportsters, it oomes
with a beefed-up suspension and
grabby red-stripe wide oval tires.
Under the hood, it’s more of the
same. We tucked in a 427-cubic-
inch 390-horsepower Turbo-Jet V8.
That means it’s the kind of car
you can take for a workout even if
you’re just going to work.
There’s driving excitement in
these other packages too: Corvette
Stingray, Chevelle SS 396, Camaro
SS, Camaro Z/28 and Nova SS.
Vaaarrrrrooooooooommm!
Listen for it at your Chevy
dealer’s Sports Shop.
