Foreign Cheerleaders
Perform For Mothers
At Fast Pep Rally
The last pep rally of the season
was dedicated to the football play-
ers’ mothers and turned out to be
a real spectacular.
The cheerleaders, with the help
of several other girls, gave indi-
vidual performances as cheerlead-
ers from foreign lands' invited to
America especially for the rally.
Mrs. Erwin Kriegel gave a talk
on the view points of a football
mother, and the band honored the
mothers by playing "My Buddy.”
Helen Jenke and Janice Wagner
gave their farewell speeches as
senior cheerleaders and the pep
rally ended with the boisterous and
thundering Stomp Clap (a yell)
and the ever-faithful Fight Song.

BUFFS CLOSE
WITH LOSS
La Grange substitute quarter-
back Gary Koopman stepped in for
the Leopards and did an able job
in leading the Leopards to a 26 to
0 win in a final game for both
teams.
The win clinched second place in
district play for La Grange, giving
them a 6-4 record to the Buff's
2-7-1 note.
Koopman scored one TD and
passed for another, while Lobpries
and Null each scored one apiece.
Robert Ruckert was on the re-
ceiving end of Koopman’s pass.

other of his likes is baseball; (he
is still in mourning over the World

BERTHA HILL
Bertha was born to Mr. and Mrs.
A. C. Hill on September 7, 1942.
Now, one of our redblooded Amer-
ican seniors, Bertha is seventeen
years old and is 5’4” tall. With
green eyes and short brown hair,
she may be seen just about any-
where with Carolyn Nitsche.
Bertha’s favorite sport is foot-
ball. and her dream-food is choc-
olate cake, (it’s fattening. Ber-
tha!) We suppose eating fatten-
ing foods is acceptable if you do
as Bertha does—follow it up with
her favorite hobby: bicycle rid-
ing. no less!
She goes overboard for James
Darren in the movies, but on TV..
American Bandstand is her fan-
cy. She likes weekends but
couldn’t think of a thing she dis-
likes'. Her ambition is to be a
private secretary, and her dream-
boat? A private boss!
WINSTON CURTIS HOLD
Winston was born on August 12.
1942, in Giddings to Mr. and Mrs. tain weekends are here but dis-
Now at the age of 17. Winston is |
a 5′1112", green-eyed, brown-haired |
senior of GHS.
When asked about his favorite
food, Winston’s reply was chicken
fried steak and as thick as poss-
ible.
Winston’s hobby seems to be
loafing. And his favorite sport,
basketball.
"I'm Mr. Blue" is Winston's fav-
orite song and that top singer is
Frankie Avilon.
When his books are thrown
aside and the TV is all that mat-
ters, Maverick, his favorite TV pro-
gram, must be on. As for mov-
ies, Winston likes to go when Greg-
ory Peck is starring.
Winston's ambition is to be
history teacher, and to the
ques-
tion about his dreamboat, he said
"Ha! Ha!” (Does anyone know
| who she is?)
DOROTHY ANN JENKE
In Fedor, on August 28, 1942, a
cute baby girl was born to the
late Richard and Adele Jenke. This
little "gal" was named Dorothy
Ann
This brown-haired, brown-eyed.
friendly senior who is 5′5%" is
now 17 years old.
A few of Dorothy’s favorites are |
food, roast pork; sports, football;
hobby, skating; song, "Scarlet
Ribbons;” singers, The Traits;
movie star, Rock Hudson, and
the T.V. program is "Maverick."
Dorothy, like everyone, has her
, likes and dislikes. She likes any-
one who is friendly and dislikes
everyone who constantly gripes.
Cheerleaders Act
Out Skits At
Recent Pep Rallies
No one has ever seen the like of
some of the things the cheerlead-
ers have done' in recent pep ral-
lies. Take, for example, the one
several weeks ago before the
Smithville game. The cheerleaders
didn't appear on the scene until
after the pep rally was in full
swing and when they did. “Oh
Brother!” They came draggin’ in
dressed as Beatniks, to the tune
of "Peter Gunn,” played by the
band and then collapsed afte r doing
a short Beatnik skit. We’re hap
py to say their mannerisms |
changed for the rest of the rally
after this little episode, although
their looks didn’t.
At the Schulenburg pep rally, |
Dottie Socha, who is to be the
head cheerleader for the 60-31
school year, took over for a little
experience of what lies ahead and
we might add that she did very
well.
Quite a few ex-football players
were present, as well as the 5-8
grades from Immanuel who were
invited for the occasion.
The big ambition in her life is
to be a successful secretary.
When we asked about her dream-
boat, she asked, "Do you
more than one guess?”

JANET JANELL KUNKEL

Second District Win
The Giddings Buffaloes gained
their second straight district win
Friday Nov. 6 when they defeat-
ed the Schulenburg Shorthorns

my Droemer, James Ponfick, and
Roy Weise.
The lone Shorthorn touchdown

Roeder to Boriack with 39 seconds
left on the clock.

We didn’t care for Naples, where
we spent that night. Our hotel was
not bad, and we ate our meals on
I an attractive roof garden, but we
were warned that women could not
walk on the streets safely without
escorts. There was a beautiful
electrical exhibit in the middle of
a nearby street that we wanted to
see. It was a huge replica of St.
! Peter's Cathedral in colored lights.
Naples seemed to be having a fes-
tival, and the streets were full of
people. There were not many men
in our crowd, but we managed to
inveigle two of them to accom-
pany us to the exhibit. Leaving
Naples, We rode through a real
slum district. People lived in aw-
ful looking places along a business
street and hung their grimy wash
out in front of their living quar-
ters, right on the sidewalk. I de-

Improvements during Superin-
tendent Denman’s 8 years' here
were many. He inaugurated a
class in typing the first step to-
ward a commercial department,
| and added physical training for
boys and girls. Two school busses
were put into operation in 1935, the
| Giddings and the Lincoln. In Oc-
| tober of the same year lights were
installed on the football field. The
- high school gym was completed
in time for commencement in 1937.
Other improvements included a
| wire fence around the campus, the
| planting of shrubs, the building of
walks, and the converting of a
third floor auditorium into a li-
brary and two class rooms.
A card of sympathy has been
sent to Mrs. Bryant and two sons,
and the six present faculty mem-
bers’ who taught with Mr. Den-
man have sent flowers to his hos-
pital room.
