NATIONAL THESPIAN NEWS
On Thursday, May 1, National
Thespians Martha McMurray,
Wayne Francis, Barbara Reddell,
and Cathryn Thornton went to
Evadale to help the play cast with
their make-up. The National Thes-
pian Society sponsor, Mrs. Janie
Hough, helped with make-up and
all hair-styling.
It was indeed an inspiring ex-
perience. All who went enjoyed it
thoroughly. This was the first
play in Evadale High School and
they knew little about make-up.
Since it is the National Thespian
Society’s creed to help the com-
munity in any way concerning
dramatics, the Thespians were
more than glad to help Evadale’s
Junior-Senior play cast.
Martha, Barbara and Cathryn
went back to Evadale on Friday
to assist with make-up for the
final performance of their play.
Some of the students had already
learned a great deal and were
willing to help in any way they
could.
NATIONAL THESPIANS

SPECIAL ASSEMBLY
Silsbee High School students
were entertained by the Stephen
F. Austin choral group in a special

p.m. Thursday.
The group sang several beauti-
ful songs. For variety they had an
instrumental number with a solo-
ist singing “That Old Black Mag-
ic.”
The students would like to ex-
tend our thanks to them for the
lovely assembly. Everyone enjoyed
it very much.

served at the banquet Friday
night by some of the sophomore
Home Eco girls. They were June

ol Fleetwood, Kay Gossett, Gloria

The Juniors and Seniors wish to
extend their sincere thanks to
these girls for making the ban-
quet such a success.
ELECTION SPEECHES
The candidates for the election
made their speeches last Wednes-
day. This gave the candidates a
chance to tell something about
themselves and to outline their
programs.
We learned that we have some
very good speech makers in Sils-
bee High School. There was quite
a bit of nervousness up on the
stage, but everyone survived.
After the elections the speech
makers will be able to tell just
how convincing their speeches
were.
TEXAS EMPLOYMENT
AGENCY GIVES
APTITUDE TESTS
On April 21, representatives
from the Texas Employment Ag-
ency gave aptitude tests to 24
Seniors to see for what type of
occupation they were best quali-
fied. After grading these tests,
they returned and had interviews
to each of the students separately.
Each student was given an oppor-
tunity to fill out an application
blank so the Agency will be able
to help him find work.

JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET
By Clandhie Watts
There was a very large crowd
at the Junior-Senior banquet Fri-
day night The theme of the ban-
quet was "The Big Record", and
the decoration idea was very
clever.
The program was very good
with the Coeds singing “Sugar-
time”; Jerry McMicken sang
“Plaything”, and the Junior Or-
chestra played “Sail Along Sil-
very Moon.” Mike McMahon was
Master of Ceremonies. Jean Cook,
the Senior class president, brought
each a lot of old memories from
early school years.
It was a very wonderful ban-
quet and will always be remem-
bered by the Seniors of 58. Sincere
thanks to the Junior class and the
teachers for making it so.

SPRING TRAINING
The Silsbee Tigers started grid-
iron workout Monday. There are
about 50 men out for spring train-
ing. We have returning about
eight veterans from last years
team. The prospects for Tigers
look very promising for the forth-
coming year. Head Coach Hobbs,
Coach McGallion, and Coach Heth-
erington are really getting the
boys in shape. It is rumored that
we have one of the best teams that
we have had in a pretty good
while. The rumor is that the Ti-
ger team has two fine lines and
some great linemen. Of course, we
have by no means a weak back-
field. We surely hope the Tiger
team will go far in the contests
of the season. I think I can speak
for the whole school when I say
that we will be behind you men
all the way and then some. I’m
sure that the coaches will put a
great bunch of men out on the
gridiron for the next year. Any-
way the team that they do choose
will have the greatest of support
of any In the district. I recall the
last years game with French in
Beaumont. It was their Homecom-
ing game, and we had as much
support if not more than they did.

NOTES FROM THE SCIENCES
CLASSES, MAY 4, 1958
The Biology classes are in the
midst of studying leaves. What
a complicated plant organ with
such things as chloroplasts that
can take a colorless gas, oxygen,
and water and come out with
things like sugar and starch. Oh,
yes, old sol gives the energy for
these chemical processes. Little
do most of us realize that we owe
our very existence to the simple
green plant. However, the Biology
students have decided the plant
isn’t so simple after having to
learn all the parts of the root,
stem and leaf.
‘UP AND BEYOND”
By Bill Fields
The sun had not come up yet. It
was foggy and cool. You could tell
the five men were nervous, al-
though they were excited.
The elevator was taking the men
up to one of the three doors lead-
ing into the spaceship. This door
was the one leading to the part
where the men would stay. The
other two doors were leading into
the atomic-powered engines.
After the men were inside the
ship, they looked around. The men
were Tom Lanton, radio-operator
and route maker; Jim Boster, pi-
lot for landing and take-off, and
commander of the ship; John
Fling, engineer and mechanical
operator; Tommy Ness, who was
the gear man; and Bobby Conin,
who worked the appliances.
Jim Boster was the first to
break the silence. “O. K., get ready
to take off,” he said.
They checked the gear with fast
and accurate care. It took 43 min-
utes for them to check it all. By
this time the ground crew was
twelve miles away. They got into
their take-off seats and heard the
numbers being counted off; eight-
seven-six.
The men thought of what the
moon was like, a huge, rocky
sphere, some 2,160 miles in diam-
eter. They wondered what kind of
life they would see on the moon-
smart beings, dumb animals, or
any plant life. One thing they all
knew, if any life exists on the
moon, that life must be different
from any found on the earth.
Five-four-three-two-one! Then
the red buzzer went on, and the
men heard the sound of the en-
gines. The strain of the pressure
was tremendous. In fifteen seconds
they were able to get up and
move around.
There was little talking aboard
the ship. Everyone had something
to do. The main job was to get the
small spaceship ready to use
when they landed on the moon.
The small spaceship, or the Po 9,
was about one-tenth the size of
the larger one.

District News
More cooperators are becoming
interested in planting Coastal Ber-
muda grass. Many others who
want to do a “little more looking”
before planting are watching these
planted fields with both eyes open
to see if Coastal is as good as they
have heard. We think so if proper-
ly done. Many fields planted two
and three weeks ago are beginning
to sprout and come above the
ground.
Cooperators who have recently
planted Coastal Bermuda grass
are: George Barclay, W. G. Rob-
ertson, Bill Sellers and Sam Gor-
don.
David and Bob Read have some
good looking crimson clover. This
clover has reseeded itself for three
years. Two hundred pounds of
10-20-10 were applied last fall.
“We think crimson is a good pas-
ture legume if properly managed,”
Bob and David say.
The Read farm is northwest of
Silsbee.

she plans to plant 80 acres to S-l
