LET’S GO REFUGIO HIGH
“No students allowed in hall dur-
ing the noon hour!” orders Renfro.
“Students may not go to cafe-
teria between class periods”, an-
other from Crisco.
“Spit that wax out!” screams
Cromeens.
“Where is your permit?” squalls
McMichael.
Orders and commands echoing
through the halls of Refugio High
School! Some of the students
thought their many privileges
were being taken away.
Soon the students realized what
this was all for. They are Ameri-
cans, and America is at war. They
also realized they had to cooperate
with these orders. So they did, and
in a big' way. They are showing
citizens of Refugio what real
school spirit is.
From then on it looked like a
victory for the Stingarees.
The nearest the Bobcats came
to scorinng was in the fourth
quarter. Refugio completed two
pasSes and placed the ball on the
Victoria 20 yard line. Another pass
was attenpted, but Victoria inter-
cepted and ran 70 yards for a
touchdown. Victoria did not have
much of an edge in weight, but
they had some very fast men.
None of the men of either side
were seriously injured. Bobby Hur-
ry received a wrist injury, and
most all of the Bogcats were
bruised and skinned.
The Bobcats had a limited num-
ber of reserve men. but, according
to Coach Louis Germer, the Bob-
cats will carry on to the best of
their ability in the future.
STINGEREES SLAUGHTER
BOBCATS
Refugio played Victoria Friday
night at Victoria. From the looks
of the score, 66 to 0, the fans be-
lieve that the Bobcats tangled a
pretty rough Stingeree.
The game started off with the
Bobcats receiving the ball and hav-
ing posession of it for three downs.
On the, third down the Bobcats
kicked, and the Stingarees took
over. The first play, Victoria’s
run was good for a touchdown.

Proud and trim stood the members of the
WAG detachment at Allied Headquarters
in North Africa. It was a thrilling rpoment!
They were being reviewed by their com-
manding general, Dwight D. Eisenhower,
who gave members of the Corps high praise
for their vital Army work, “They rank with
my best troops,” he said.
And key American officers echo his praise
with a plea for more Wacs! Hundreds of
thousands more Wacs are needed at once—
to take over more than 155 different kinds
of vital Army jobs at home and abroad.
You are needed in »he WAC! It’s your
chance to have a really important part in
helping win the war. Go to your nearest
U. S. Army Recruiting Station, or write for

“Keeping store,” Sam Aher-
nethy says, “can teach a person
plenty about human nature.
“Now coffee rationing’s lifted,
folks ain’t a-breakin’ their necks
tryin’ to buy all they can. Know-
in’ they can have it if they want
it, they ain’t so all-fired anxious
to get it.”
Sam’s right, as usuaL I don’t
crave that second cup half as
much as when I couldn’t get it.
But that’s human nature---
Like allowing moderate beer in
the Army’s post exchanges.^ In-
stead of leading to more drink-
ing, the OWI report says it
works out just the -opposite—
often as not the men choose
soda-pop or milk, with beer right
there, and no restrictions on it
But if it wasn’t there, like im ~
the last War, the story might
be altogether different.
From where I sit, that’s ficrfa
it is with Americans. Tell; ’em y
they can’t have a thing and-by
golly, they’ll find ways to get it.
But admit their right to haveit,
and their own good sens^-^H
leadto moderation. . r

Egbert knew ail the answers
but- ONE I
He KNEW the capital of Afghanistan.
He knew that Planesticus migratorius is
the name for a robin. He knew that a
theorbo is a musical instrument.
But he didn’t know how much cheaper
electricity is today than years ago!
Don’t blame Egbert. It’s easy not to
realize how far electric prices have been
reduced, because while they were coming
down and down — Egbert’s family, and
families all over America, were adding
new appliances and enjoying the use of
more and more electricity!
But in any true-false quiz, you can
mark this statement as true: The average
household, in South and Southwest Tex-
as, today gets just about twice as much
electricity for its money as it did fifteen
years ago!
What helped make it true? Expe-
rienced business management. Years of
doing a job efficiently and economically
have given the men and women of Cen* #
tral Power and Light Company the know-
how to bring you friendly, dependable
service at low prices —— even in wartime!
