HOW’ THE TIGERS GOT
T1IE1R NAME
By Joyce Rhea Miller
How many of you Tigers
know where we got our name
— —? The years have
past and we have Just taken
the name for granted and
haven’t bothered to find out
the origin. We(l, it came about
twenty some odd years ago.
The football team had a meet-
ing and some of the members
suggested different names they
liked. Then the team voted
their favorite name. This
was not a vote by the student
body, understand. This was a
complete vote by the football
team. I hope everyone will re-
member this in case someone
ever asks you, “Where did the
Tigers get their name?”
yearbook that Silsbee High
School has ever produced. You
can buy an annual from any
member of the Satsuma staff
for $4.50 this week and next,
after then the price
raise to $5.00. This raise in
price is due to the loss of $600
last year. The student body
did not support the yearbook
sales as they should have and
therefore the staff was very
much in debt. Our 1961 Sqtsu-
ma was rated one of the best
in Southeast Texas at the year
book workshop held at A. & M
College. We expect next year’s
to be even better. This year
lets all support one of the
greatest Satsumas of Silsbee
High one-hundred per cent!
Better hurry and buy yours!
Wouldnt it be awful to be the
only student without an an-
nual?
The Satsuma Staff wishes to
take this opportunity to ex-
press their gratitude to the
merchants and businessmen of
Silsbee who have purchased
space in the advertisement di-
vision of the 1961 Satsuma.
This is of great assistance to
the yearbook as well as to their
businesses. Certainly their con-
tributions have been greatly
acknowledged by the annual
staff and the student body.

With 2 minutes and 18 sec-
onds left in the first half Bo

Kountzes 40 for- another 6
points. Bo also made the ex-
tra 2 points on a pitchout

the uprights for the extra
point.
An alert Tommy Hartman re-

42-0.
Late in the 4th quarter Robr

to paydirt only to have it
called back on a penalty. On
next play Modisette
today. It’s been awfuly dull.
Tuesday—Festus went to
Satsuma sales booster program
today. It was really good
what I saw of it. Festus drop-
ped me on the floor and prop-
ped his dirty feet on me. He
sat by the littje blonde, and
o( course, he ottered to stack
her books on me. Boy, was
1 smushed! I've heard some of
the annual staff talking about
next year’s yearbook. I wish
I was a big pretty
suma.
Wednesday—Today 1 receiv-
ed the shock of my life. Fes-
tus got some new shoes! Big
black shiny ones with pointed
loes! Leonida, that’s the
blonde's name, thinks so, too.
That really made old Festus
happy. He smiled so wide; 1
thought his face would crack
She probably tells every boy
that his shoes are pretty. Stu-
pid old Festus!
Thursday—Well, Festus fi-
nally bought an annual. I was
afraid he was going to forget
to. That’s about like Festus,

Lord, as we stand humbly in
the shadow of the Seniors, we
pray, lift us from this lowly
station to the glory of the up-
per classmen- Let us enter in

best of them. Let us leave
the auditorium first and please
save us from being trampled as
1961 Sat-fihe Seniors persist in running
over us in the hall. Be with
us daily through the next two
years (if we're lucky) and
help us to face the inevitable.
We ask these things in your
name and for our sake.

JUNIOR JABBER
B.v Carmen Dominguez
Some, of the Juniors had a
thrilling experience last week
in the foreign language classes
. getting to listen to their
own voices. The school has
equipped the foreign language
classes with a tape recorder
and earphones. Those who
had their voices recorded read
something in the language that
they are taking and then had
it played back. It was really
surprising to some of the jun-
iors to know how they really
sounded. By recording our
voices wc will be able to recog-
nize our mistakes which will
enable us to speak the language \ Lite him, too
better.
Someone was wondering why
some of the Junior girls were
writing fifteen and twenty
page letters, wilting poems,
calling people at a certain
time and sitting on the tables
at the Dairy Malt. Can you
imagine why?
We would likcto express our
regrets to Shelby Croucher for
lhe rycent loss of his grand-
father.

You're looking at the newest car in the low-price
field—the Mercury Meteor. But the resemblance
to other low-price cays ends with the price.
COKTG LESS TO DRIVE! You save on upkeep.
Your Mercury dealer is extending his warranty on
all 1961 Mereurys to one full year or 12,000 miles,
whichever comes first. See him for full informal ion.
He will be glad to show you a copy of hie new
warranty.
You save on gas. Mercury’s new, wider choice of
engines and transmissions lets you tailor your new
Meteor to your kind of driving. Choose super
economy, super power, or any combination in
between. And just think of these 7 other savings:
now pre-Iubricated chassis lets you drive
30,000 miles before it needs another lubrication.
A new-type oil filter lets you drive 4,000 miles
between oil changes. Mufflers are aluminized lor
more than double the life. Brakes are self-sdjtxrting.
New zinc-coated body panels protect your car from
rust t wo or three times as long. Spark plugs are self-
cleaning, save gas. A special Super-Enamel finish
never needs waxing.
LOOKS BETTER-AND IS! The styling and
size are completely new. Trimmer, easier to garage,
far more agile. You get a de luxe interior in every
model at no extra cost.
PEE^S LIKE MORE! Here’s the Int low-price
car to provide a true "fine-ear feel." Not just shock
absorbers and springs for your riding comfort, but
a unique new system of rubber cushioning called
Cushion-Link suspension. It is exclusive on all
Meteor 800’s, Monterey*, and Mercury atation
wagons. No more bumps from tar strips and
other road-surface irregularities.
Don’t miss the first showing! See your Mercury
dealer now. Here, without question, is the newest
and smartest buy in the low-price field.
