rM AN OLD COWHAND
That’s the refrain about 75 or
SO students of Crystal City High
Uchool were singing last Friday
night when they gathered at the
High School Gymnasium for the
annual Freshman - Sophomore
Cowboy party.
The cafeteria had been trans-
formed from its usual spotless
tppearanee to a seasonable repli-
ca of an old corral and it was
here that the festivities took
place - The call to chow was
sounded about 7:30 and cowboy
fare consisting of beans, barbe-
cued wieners, potato salad, bread
and iced tea was served from the
chuck wagon out under the stars
behind the building.
Highlight of the evening was
the floor show put on by various
students. A musical trio com-
posed of Morris Northcutt and
Sonny Quillan, guitars, and Roger
Villarreal, vocalist, entertained
with several splendid cowboy
numbers, of which “Beautiful
Brown Eyes” and “Tennessee
Waltz” were the favorites. And
then the house was brought
down by a pair of very fine danc-
ers, Felix Campos and Rebecca
Rodriguez with their renditions
of a Spanish Polka, Two-Step and
Samba.
Plain and fancy dancing by all
concerned was confined until 11
cerned was continued until 11
hands departed for home and the
bur.khouse.
The Cowboy Party wu truly
one of the social successes of the
year at C.C.H.S.

Two C.CJLS. Boys
In State Meet
Pete Acosta and Byron Cole-
man represented Crystal City
High School at the State Track
and Field Meet held in Austin
last week end.
Due to the number of boys par-
ticipating, preliminaries had to
be run in the 880 yard dash. The
mile run did not have prelimi-
naries, therefore all the milers
ran in the finals on Saturday af-
ternoon.
Pete was in the first heat of the
880 yard dash preliminaries. Nine
runners were in this heat and
Pete drew lane nine, which put
him the fartherest from the rail.
As is the case in this type race,
each runner wants the lane next
to the rail because of the shorter
distance to run. During the entire
race Pete had to run on the out-
side, and as a result he came in
sixth in his heat. Only the first
four men qualified for the finals,
so Pete did not qualify. This race
was the last race that Pete will
run for Crystal City, since Pete
is a senior. Pete plans to go to
college to study law.
Byron ran the mile in the fi-
nals Saturday at 3:50 p.m. There
were fourteen milers in this race,
and Byron drew iane thirteen.
The race was won by Gonzales,
Pharr-San Juan-Alamo came in
second, and Crystal City came in
third. The race was won with a
time of 3:34. In winning third
place, Byron defeated the boy
who beat him at the Regional
Meet.
Byron is a junior this year.
Next year he should do even
better than he did this year.
This is the first time since 1933
that a Crystal City boy has won
a medal at the State Meet.

PETE ACOSTA
MISS DAVIS TO PARTICIPATE
IN “CONTINUING WORK
CAMP” AT KERRVILLE
Shirley B Davis, daughter of
Rev. and Mrs. Sherwood S. Davis,
is one of ten youths from the
Southwest Texas Conference of
the Methodist Church who was
selected from those making appli-
cation to participate in the first
“Continuing Work Camp” to be
held at Mt. Wesley, Kerrville.
This group of youths, together
with an adult couple from Yale
University, who will work with
them all summer, will form
themselves into a group to learn
and practice Christianity in the
sharing of responsibility and
completion of tasks. They will, as
a group, discover what needs to
be done, then decide who shall
do it. In their free time they will j
take advantage of the outstand-
ing leaders that will be on the
campus, meeting with them in-
formally to strengthen and ex-
plore their own Christianity. At
other times the group will de-
vise its own recreation and par-
Doing housework? As a matter
of fact, 8 out of 10 American
women say they don’t mind
housework at all! Maybe
you’re one of that group or
maybe you hate housework
with a passion. However you
feel, there’s one thing for sure
—electricity makes house-
keeping easier for everybody. Dependable low-cost
electricity takes the drudgery out of your daily
chores.
Electric service is so usual we sometimes forget its
usefulness. But chances are you rely upon electricit)
every hour of every cloy. It can help wash and iron
your laundry, vacuum the rugs, protect your food,
help with the cooking, sewing and entertaining.
it cools and warms ... All this and more for
only a few pennies a day.
Your friends and neighbors in CPL, under sound
business management, have combined their skill
and efficiency to make electric service just about
the biggest bargain in anybody’s family budf ’-a
bargain of a lot of service at a mighty low cost.
