both Aransas Pass High School and Junior High School
Today As Stepping Stone
To Tomorrow Illustrated
“The world we live in today is
merely a stepping stone to
tomorrow, with countless chal-
lenging questions left for
scientists and engineers to
answer."
This message of opportunity
was presented to Aransas Pass
students when General Motors
national program. Previews of
Progress, appeared at Aransas
Pass High School and Aransas
Pass Junior High School
Thursday.
The non - commercial show
seeks to encourage more
students interest in science,
engineering and related voca-
tional careers. It was presented
live and in non-technical
language by General Motors
lecturers.
Of special interest was a fast -
paced demonstration illustra-
ting the catalytic converter,
which GM believes is the best
technology available today to
reduce carbon monoxide and
hydrocarbon emissioner from
automobile exhaust.
The converter not only
insures continuation of the
impressive decline in auto-
motive pollution, but it also
permits engineers to recali-
brate the engine for improved
fuel economy and driveability,
states GM. And because the
converter requires the use of
unleaded gasoline there is less
maintenance due to longer
spark plug life, fewer oil
changes and longer exhaust
system life.
Another highlight of the 43
minute program was an unique
laser projector demonstration
A laser beam was used to
translate the sounds people
hear into visual patterns of light
which danced on a screen
before the audience.

time the Wildcats were defeated
by the Panthers.

THIS RATTLESNAKE probably means a new state record. Bob Herndon and his
wife fian of Aransas Pass captured this rattlesnake two miles north of Mills
Bennet between Freer and Bruni September 20 and Herndon thinks he may have
a record size snake when the time comes that it can be measured. The snake
measures "about” 7 feet 8 inches and weighs about 16 pounds but Herndon is
waiting for it to shed its skin before he can be sure of the exact measurement
Harry Scarcey (R) helped the Herndons move the big snake from the wooden
carrying box into a display caae earlier this month.
