ilies to pray together as the
candles are lit, “always remem-
bering that a family that prays
together, stays together.” \

IN MEMORIAM
In memory of Robert E.
Moore who passed away De-
cember 12, 1957.
We hold you in our dreams at
night,
We call you in the dawn,
And yet we have to tell our-
selves
That you are really gone.
You were so wonderful to us,
So gentle, sweet and kind;
It seems that we were always,
In your heart and in your mind.
And in our silent sorrow
There is nothing we can do,
Except to live a better life,
In memory of you.
Missed by his wife,

Public School P-TA
Christmas Program
At December 8 Meet
On Thursday night, Decem-
ber 8 at 7:30 p.m., the Parent-
Teacher Association will meet
in the Cafeteria. A special
Christmas program is planned
for your interest and enjoy-
ment. Each parent who has a
student in school has the privil- 4
ege of attending this meeting.
More than a privilege, it is,each
parent’s responsibility to attend
Parent-Teacher meetings. It is
to your benefit to be present, to
stand up and be counted among
parents who are interested in
the future of their children and
their school. The attendance
prize of $2.00 will be awarded
the room with the most parents
present.
The Rev. John Gilbert will
speak on the topic, “Material
Values,” as it relates to our
theme for the year, Homes
Create Community Strength
Through Character Develop-
ment.
A special time of fellowship
is planned also. Christmas carols
will be led by Larry Kemp with
Mrs. Arthur Ward as pianist.
It is hoped that every school
patron will be in his place for
this program. Everyone who
comes is asked to bring either
a few sandwiches or some tas-
ty sweet (cookies, koiaches,
sweet rolls, etc.). The social
committee will provide the
drinks for the evening.
The remainder of the Keep-
sake Plates that were sold at
Homecoming will be placed on
sale Thursday night also. No
more of these plates will be or-
dered. If you want one for your-
self or for a gift, plan to pur-
chase it at the P-TA meeting.
If you would like a plate and
cannot be at the meeting, call
Mrs. Elton Zander or Mrs. Nor-
man Davis and a plate will be
reserved for you.
his personal experiences in a
concentration camp, telling of
the brutality of the Gestapo to-
ward the prisoners and him-
self, how they unjustly arrest-
ed the people, cruely starved
them, and killed them for no
reason at all. In order to survive
they had to steal bread and
share it among themselves.
They were so weak they could
hardly walk without falling
down.
In the concentration camp no
one was known by his name,
but numbers were assigned to
them and they were called in
this manner. The Gestapo would
give the dread “silver injec-
tion” to prisoners on the death
list, and the person died almost
instantly.
A German officer helped him
and a few others to escape. They
were given civilian clothes and
train tickets. They journeyed
from Germany, to Austria, to
Italy. In Italy a British force
found them and sent them to a
hospital to recuperate.
Later Father came to the
United States.
Father Wojciechowski relat-
ed these painful memories to
try to show us some of the
things that we in America have,
for which we should be thank-
ful, and his words were most
appropriate for this Thanks-
giving season.
® Student Council
The Shiner Student Council
met in the library during the
first period. Calvin Bruns, pres-
ident, presided over the meet-
ing. The; secretary, Doris Gross-
man, read the minutes of the
previous meeting, the treasur-
er’s report was given, standing
and special committee reports
made, and old and new business
was discussed.
Telva Boehm, pin committee
chairman, discussed the three
selections of pins made by the?
committee. From these pins we
voted for the one we wished to
purchase.
Plans for Christmas activities
were started but before definite
plans can be made, we must get
more opinions from the student
body. When we learn what the
majority of the students want,
we will make definite plans at
the next meeting.

the courage and devotion to duty of her lawmen — nor
without the commerce and industry that have provided
prosperity and the good life. The brewing industry,
too, has had a part in this development. Providing pay-

The Rangers’ Father-and-Son Team
Samuel Highsmith had a tintype made for his 11-year-old son, Malcijah. The date
was April 22, 1836, the day after the battle of San Jacinto. Sam was pictured
wearing a Mexican uniform which he had recently removed from a prisoner,
General Lopez de Santa Anna.
But, at peaceful pursuits Sam wasn’t so successful. A hog raising venture in Jackson
County did not prosper, mostly because the volunteer army of the New Republic
camped near the ranch, and the army liked fresh pork. So, 1840 found Highsmith
a Texas Ranger, and a good one. From that time on, he was a soldier or Ranger,
in one service or the other, whichever promised better and faster action. In the
meantime, young Malcijah was impatiently getting some schooling and counting
his birthdays. At 17 years and to no one’s surprise, he joined the Ranger company
captained by his father, and the Highsmiths enjoyed numerous Indian and Mexican
border campaigns, a fighting team born to be and trained to be just what they
were — frontier lawmen.
Samuel Highsmith was short lived. At 45 years he was buried in the first Protestant
burying ground in San Antonio. Malcijah went on to serve faithfully and well
through the Civil War and to live to a riper age of
