THIS IS
OUR TOWN
By Jinny
Bandera county was again bless-
ed with fine rains this week and
we have never seen the Hill Coun-
try so beautiful during the thirty-
six years we have lived here. In
driving over the city it is grati-
fying to observe that wild flowers
vie with those being cultivated
in local yards. Mrs. Leonard
lenschke’s yard is very colorful
with riots of many flowers with
>weet peas predominating * * *
Paul Weber’s yard is mighty nice
too, as is many others on De-
lightful Hill * * * It was nice to
see Bob Mansfield out Thursday,
even though he was in the doctor’s
office. Bob’s many friends wish
for him a .complete recovery from
his recent illness * * * Plans are
being put in motion to have an-
other Red Cross Water Safety
program this year with Miss El-
len Louise Brient as instructor
* As Jutte draws near predic-
tions of weddings are in the air
* * Miss Helen Rees will be-
come the bride of James Hansen
>n June 1. Miss Gladys Ann Las-
kowski and Sonny Schmidt will
wed on June 8, and Richard Allie
Thallman will take as his bride
Joanne Frances Miller, date to be
June 22 * * * Birthday greetings
this week go to Bill Sharman,
Charlie Sharman, June Jones, May

Our thought for the day—The
hoarding of things cannot produce
joy. Love is of no value until it
is expressed and passed on to
others. Material things are of
value in producing happiness only
when they are used or passed on
to make others happy.—Lowell
Fillmore * * * Rye for now * * *

SENIOR PLAY READY FOR
PRESENTATION
On Tuesday night, May 7, 1957,
at 8:00 p.m., in the Bulldog Audi-
torium, the 1957 Senior class will
present a Father Brown Mystery
in three acts, known as “The Green
Man.”
“Father Brown”, a Catholic
priest who is dressed accordingly,
is played by Adolph Nesky. lie
is middle-aged, with a benign face
and an innocent .twinkle in his
eye; he is soft spoken and polite.
Peggy Pinglethn plays “Marion
Craven” who is characterized as
being about twenty, shy, retiring,
rather moody and romatic. She
dresses very simply, with no show
of wealth.
Marlene Joiner portrays “Olive
Craven”, the Admiral sister. She
is stiffly erect, with a sharp
tongue and an inquiring eye, but
not without a redeeming sense of
humor. She is middle-aged and
dresses rather grandly.
“Harold Harker”, the Admiral’s
secretary, is a young man in his
mid-twenties. He is brisk, fast-
talking, casual, likable fellow,
easy-going and often comical in his
breezy self-assurance. In portray-
ing this character, Robert Thal-
raann wear “shaggy tweeds’’.
Kenneth D’Spain as “Roger
Rook,” is a rather sullen and taci-
turn young man, also in the mid-
twenties. He is good-looking in
a rugged sort of way.
“Inspector Burns” played by
Eddie Jon Ryan is' a stolid man in
his middle years—bluff, hearty,
affable. He is not nearly as un-
observant as he appears to be. He
is plainly dressed in a baggy busi-
ness suit, with watch chain on his
vest.
Bobby Koimn plays “Dr. Charles
Straker” who is about fifty-five, a
professional man retired to coun-
try practice. He is well tailored,
and may sport a small mustache
and goatee. He is conservatively
dressed in a business suit.
"James Dyke” ’ portrayed by
Melburn Hardin is an older man,
seventy or nearly so — grizzled,
spry, alert, with some of the fussy,
eccentric mannerisms that come
with age.
“Annie Swallow” played by
Gladys Laskowski is a huxsom,
gossipy, rosy-cheeked innkeeper,
whose age might he anywhere
from thirty-five on upward.
Nancy O’Bryant protrays “Mau-
die Ridgeway” a shopgirl on holi-
day. She is in her late teens, at-
tractive, and well behaved.
Shelby Mansfield plays “Iris
Burrows” who is also a shopgirl
on vacation. She is the same age
as Maudie but more energetic and
inquisitive.
“Bessie Watkins’’ is a pert, pret:
ty, frosh-faced girl of about twen-
ty. She and “Annie” conduct an
amiable running feud. “Bessie”
is portrayed by Carol Mayes.
As stated above the play is a
very intriguing murder mystery.
You will sit on the edge of your
chair as “Father Brown” hesitates
in revealing the idenity of the
murderer.
Tickets may he purchased from
any Senior. Elementary student
tickets are twenty-five cents.
Adult tickets, which included high
school students, are fifty cents.
Como and see the play! The Sen-
iors assure you a very enjoyable
and suspense filled evening.

FUTURE FARMERS
(Continued from Page 1)
Beautiful Nancy Barina of Me-
nard was chosen as the District
Sweetheart in the balloting and
the impressive ceremonies. Ken-
neth Keese of Medina presented
the beautiful Sweetheart with
flowers.
As guest speaker, Terrel Gates,
Superintendent of Burbank High
School in San Antonio, paid
tribute to the fine group of young
men and their guests. Starting
his talk out in a humorous vein,
Mr. Gates soon got down to busi-
ness and told the group of the
many advantages of being a Fu-
ture Farmer. He said, “Every
Dad wants his son to become the
finest man and every boy wants
to become as fine a man as his
dad.” Mr. Gates pointed out the
opportunities available by attend-
ing school ,and told that 40 per
cent of the people in the United
States work with agriculture, and
by this method America has never
been hungry. “Agriculture is the
basis of our economy,” he said.
Mr. Gates also spoke of the tre-
mendous growth in the present
schools and said, “We cannot build
class rooms fast enough to take
care of the growth, and agricul-
ture is a very important part of
this growth.” He also talked on
the importance of the need for
the proper water conservation and
said that every stream should be
dammed at intervals, so Texas be-
come a moist state instead of a
dry one. In this way the water
table would be greatly benefited
and raised. He spoke also on soil
conservation and said, "Did you
know that it takes twenty years to
rebuild one inch of top soil. You
can take a poor farm and make it
i good one. You are the young
men that we can depend on. You
ne better trained in this day and
have the' proper equipment. The
FFA is looked to for efficiency
ml team work. Remember the
three T’s—be tactful, be toler-
tnt and use teamwork and you will
never sell America short. You
have n wonderful country and
wonderful opportunities. Re proud
if the great challenge before you.
Don’t throw this day away.”
Murry LeStourgeon, popular en-
tertainer of Medina, charmed
the guests with special numbers. |
All present enjoyed his rendition |
of “Preacher and the Bear” and
Sleeping at the Foot of the Bed”.
Announcement was made that
the Area 7 Convention would be
held in Ran Marcos on May 18.
Charles Eckert of Mason ex-
tended a cordial invitation to all
present to attend the Annual Dis-
trict FFA Rodeo in Mason on
May 30-31 and June 1. He said,
“Bring your Sweetheart and en-
ter her in the Rodeo Queen con-
test which will take place on June
1.
At the close of the evening’s
events Leroy Keese, president IIill
District, expressed his deep ap-
preciation for the wonderful help
of the mothers who prepared the
food, the girls who served and the
teachers for cooperating in mak-
ing the evening such a successful
