CLOSING IN
Several Yellow Jacket team members close in for the tackle in junior varsity action Friday at
Lamesa. The Jackets held the AAA school at bay as neither team was able to cross the goal
line. The junior varsity, under the direction of Coaches Kirby Lackey and Ronny White,has
fielded one of the largest teams in recent history for Kermit High School with approximately
40 vying for positions on the squad. (Staff Photo)

LAERGEST FEEDS
UPON SMALLEST
The largest animal that lives
on earth—the blue
whale—feeds not upon its big
neighbors of the sea, but upon
some of the smallest.
These are the minute
floating plants and animals
that compose the sea
j organisms called plankton.
| Blue whales lack teeth, so their
! mouths are equipped with a
food “sieve” that lets water
flow out while retaining the
food matter. It provides a very
efficient method of feeding
for such a large creature.
TOURNAMENT WINNERS
Winners of the Lady Bees annual softball tournament are
pictured here after receiving trophies at the conclusion of the
action on Saturday. Those members of the Odessa VFW
Auxiliary team, winners of the first place trophy, pictured on
the bottom row (left to right) are Pat Haddock, Sandra Byrd,
Paula Bounds, Jo Conner and Tracy Haddock. On the back row
are (left to right) Coach Burl Slatter, Leslie Buchanan, Lisa
Flournay, Coach Jerry Byrd, Toni Willmon, Sandy Nichols,
Kenita McKay and Coach Jim McKay. Not present when the
picture was taken were Jennifer Brown, Rosa McKenzie and
Norma Lujan.

‘Big Fish’ Awards Encourage Anglers
ROUGH GOING
An unidentified Kermit player finds the going a little rough as he tries to go up the middle
the Lamesa line in the Kermit, Lamesa junior varsity clash. Kermit’s JV made an impressive
showing as they were able to play well within the ranges of the AAA school. Kermit’s junior
varsity will see action once again prior to their season opener when they play host to the
Andrews Mustangs at Walton Field on Friday. Play is scheduled to get underway at 5:30 p.m,

Posters encouraging anglers
to submit their lunker catches
to a “Big Fish Awards”
program, now in reach of more
people because of reduced
minimum weights, have been
sent to all currently bonded
license agents for the Texas
Parks and Wildlife
Department.
Announcing, “Fishermen!
Enter Your Big Fish Here,”
the signs in red ink on yellow
cardboard are intended for
window or counter display at
all stores and businesses where
Texas hunting and fishing
licenses are sold.
Dealers also received 10
copies of a new application
form for a “ certificate of
Fishing Merit” award. The
program is explained on one

eligible species and minimum

A cover letter from P&WD
Executive Director Clayton T.
Garrison stated to license
dealers, “We are optimistic
that the fishermen will enjoy
this program and that resulting
data will effect better fishing
programs for the State of
Texas. If you share our
optimism, the program is sure
to be a success!”
Bob Kemp, P&WD fisheries
directors said that the program
provides a census of
top-quality fish taken in
virtually all Texas waters. “We
can plot on a map . those
fisheries which are producing
the best catches, investigate
why they do and, hopefully,
seek to better manage the
fishing in waters which prove
to be less productive.
“This way, anglers not
only get a big fish to
photograph, mount or eat, but
also a certificate they can
frame. And we get valuable
information which would be
almost impossible to collect
by any other means.”
Persons with catches which
qualify, but who cannot
locate application forms, may
write directly to the Texas
Parks and Wildlife
Department, John H. Reagan
Building, Austin, Texas
