Natural GAS makes the BIG difference!
Woodsboro. — It could be a
rough week end of basketball
for the Woodsboro Eagles.
The Eagles, now taking part
in the 8-team Sinton Boy’s
Tournament, are off to a slow
start this basketball season . . .
and the going might get even
slower before the pace event-
ually picks up.
The Birds are playing in the
Sinton meet without one of their
most illustrious stars, Eddy
Havel. Havel, recovering from
a severe Knee injury suffered
in the football season, has been
advised by his doctor to stay
away from the hardwood for a
week. This presumably means
that he won’t see action against
San Diego Monday nite, in the
first home game played by the
Birds. ,
Woodsboro is already without
the services of Elijah Terrell,
who is also recovering from a
football wound. Thus, Coach
Bob Flanagan is starting a cou-
ple of youths, Elton Wiginton
and Billy Bethea, who are get-
ting their first shot at varsity
ball this year. The two are
teaming with William Tolliver,
Phillip Lewis, and Robert
Goynes in making up the start-
ing lineup.
A review of the Eagle (and
Eaglette) performances to date
may be found in detailed write-
ups on page 5 of this issue of
The Woodsboro News.
Junior High Christmas
Program Slated Tuesday
Eaglettes Sprint
Into Fine Start
Woodsboro.—Things are start- Tournament, which was won by
ing to speed up in the Woods-
boro Eaglette basketball camp.
The local girls had a busy
schedule since last Tuesday —
playing 4 games. Three of them
resulted in victories . . . giv-
ing the Eaglettes a seasonal
record thus far of 4 wins; two
losses.
Eaglette coach, Miss Betty
Knipe, said, “I’m rather pleas-
ed with our team. We have
young girls, for the most part,
and we are making too many
mistakes. But, they are mis-
takes that come naturally to1
an inexperienced squad. We are
playing hard, though, and our
spirit is excellent. The girls
have done well thus far; and
are certain to improve as the
season goes along.”
Two of the three Eaglette
wins of the past week came in
the Woodsboro Invitational
Goliad. Goliad defeated the
Eaglettes, 44-22, in the finals to
annex the trophy. Scores of oth-
er games played in the tourna-
ment:
Goliad 69, Rockport 30;
Woodsboro 30, Ingleside 21; Go-
liad 59, LaFeria 35; Woodsboro
39, Bloomington 25; Rockport
47, Ingleside 31; and La Feria
65, Bloomington 51.
An 8-girl all-tournament team
was picked at the close of the
tourney due to ties, includ-
ing: FORWARDS — Roylynn
Harris of Rockport; Flora Cole-
man, of Bloomington; Sandra
Morris, of Goliad; and Gayle
G e i s t m a n, of. Woodsboro.
GUARDS—Verna Gillespie and

revealed this week that statis-

period, showed 19.95 per cent

Special School
Board Meeting
Set for Friday
Woodsboro. — A “Special”
School Board meeting has been

The purpose of the meeting
is to discuss the building needs
and a possible bond election for
the district, said Superintendent

ceived no failing grades at all.
However, in some cases, .stu-
dents received nearly all fail-
ing grades.
Oefinger stated that, even
though the percentage of failing
grades seemed somewhat high,
the normal curve of failures ex-
pected is usually about twen-
ty-five percent nationally.
Teachers will continue to no-
tify parents during any given
six week period about the
child’s academic record if no-
tification is warrented.
Oefinger further stated that
it would be quite helpful if
parents would ask to see as-
signments that the child says
he has gotten in school. Too of-
ten the student has made only
a slight endeavor to get the as-
signment in school for the next
day. Even though the assign-
ment has been attempted, it is
often partially done — if at all.
It is very seldom that a stu-
dent will not have some home
work to do Therefore, the par-
ents should be on guard for an
answer such as, “I have no
homework or assignment for to-
morrow”.
A student, having difficulty in
any academic area should avail
himself of every opportunity to
catch up on his work when on
occasion an assignment is not
made by the teacher.
Every teacher has a daily
conference period during which
she is available fro parent
conferences. Parents are urged
to take advantage of this con-
ference time should they deem
it necessary.
