BASKET-BALL NOTES
J
TIBt? J
(To begin this column I want to
introduce a man whom most of you
disregard altogether.) He is, to my
notion, the most valuable man on
the team. This boy I am referring
to is the manager, Billie Moffett.
Next we have J. C. Nash, former
captain of the football team and a
basket-ball star from last year.
Cupid Die who played left end
on our football team this year is an-
other good prospect.
Jack Temple is a promising backet-
ball player who played football at the
tackle port.
Berl Slayden who was inelegible
for football this year can play basket-
ball, thank goodness.
Malvin Johnson who is a new-
comer to this town promises to give
the boys a battle for their positions.
William Ponder who was a star
in football this year is out for basket-
ball.
Dan Harvill, who hails from Fred
with the reputation of being a basket-
ball player, is also a member of the
basket-ball squad.
Bevil Gilmore, who is from Fred,
also, is another good promise as is
James Hicks who is from the same
settlement.
A. P. Page about who we know lit-
tle has made a letter playing basket-
ball from somewhere.
Edward Miller, a football player
and star at left end, is going to make
someone work for his position on our
basket-ball team.
“Horse” Sells is a promising bask-
et-ball player who comes from Louis-
iana.
Last but not least comes Paul Ney-
land who is the former manager and
“doc” for our ’36 football team. If
you want a hint from me, just watch
this boy go to town in basket-ball
this year.

The South Park Greenies of Beau-
mont went down in defeat before
The Silsbee High Tigers of Silsbee
in a ball slingin’ contest that ended
with the score of 28-26 Tuesday night
in the Tiger gym. Summing the game
up,' we find: in the first quarter-
Nash scored four (4) points and Gil-

INTRODUCING THE BASKET-
BALL TEAM OF 1936-37
FUTURE HOME MAKERS MEET
The “Future Home Makers of Tex-
as” met December eighth for a busi-
ness meeting in the club room at ten
a. m. Some new business was taken
up and some old business finished.
The next meeting will be December
twenty-second, in the form of a so-
cial meeting. The committees have
planned a program to be given. The
members will also exchange Christ-
mas gifts.
two or three matches Miss Cotton
has promised him he’ll have to eat
if he doesn’t quit chewing matches.
Looks like the Lonely Hearts Club
will have to disband in favor of the
Old Maids Club—ah, well, there’ll
always be a need for teachers. “Billy
Sue” Moffett is the latest addition
to the fifth period English class.
In the halls:
Malvin and Bernell earnestly chat-
tering. Berl and Bruce wating for
Betty and Elizabeth at the head of
die stairs. A mad scramble for the
lockers, with those having lower
lockers coming out on bottom! Miss
Leola trying to keep the downstairs
hall free from paper.
So, until next week, Susie bids ye
a fond farewell.
Be sure and read the Christmas ed-
ition of the Tiger Rag.

Around the campus:
The majority of the boys partici-
pate iiw’ game of baseball, with Rob-
ert Cook as referee. Coaches Pit-
marifand Hough seem to enjoy the
game as much as the boys. And then
we have our Don Juans and Casan-
ovas: Berle and Cupid play baseball,
but when Charlotte and Elizabeth
are around, they’d rather sit on the
fence and talk—about what?—sweet
nonsense, eh? And what a strange
sight it would be not to see Frances
Lee and Kathryn watching Jack par-
take of his daily bar of candy. “Dub”
and Betty spend their spare time
riding with “ye best beau”, while
Leon and Mary E. just sit in the pink
Ford and talk. Miss Smith and Miss
Cotton bask in the sun. The girls
group off and probably gossip, while
some of the boys make pests of them-
selves by bothering the girls.
In the school buildings:
Mrs. Lewis and Miss Hicks drill
singers. Miss Julia and various stud-
ents work on toys to be given to
needy children—Jo was given a leg-
less doll, while Christine had to cut
out paper dolls. Hubert Cammack
sends out an appeal to the English
class to please bring him something
to eat, so he won’t have to eat those

more two (2); thus making six (6)
points for Silsbee while the Greenies
scored nine (9) points. In the sec-
ond quarter—Die scored six (6)
points and Gilmore two (2) while
the Greenies scored four (4) points.
This brings us to the half with a
score of fourteen (14) to thirteen (13)
in favor of Silsbee. In the third quar-
ter—Gilmore scored seven (7) points
and Die four (4) while the Greenies
scored seven (7) points. In the fourth
and last quarter—Page scored three
(3) points with the Greenies scoring
six (6) points. This brings us to the
I end of the game with the score twen-
ty-eight (28) to twenty six (26) in
favor of Silsbee. Gilmore was high
point man with eleven (11) points,
but Die followed a close second with
ten (10) points. South Park suffered
seven (7) fouls, but only two (2) of
the foul shots were made good by
the Tigers. Silsbee fouled six (6)
times, and the Greenies gained three
(3) points by making good three (3)
foul shots out of the six (6). Coach
Don L. Hough referred.
This was the third game for the
Tigers and the third victory. Our
Tigers sing a victory song, let’s all
join in on the chorus!
The S. O. S. Club met last Friday
showing great improvement. The
president, Irvin Thompson, took
charge. The minutes were read by
secretary, Maurine Peterson. The
class constitution was also read to
the members by Miss Peterson.
As Dixie Leach was absent, the
program was taken into the hands of
president Thompson. Imogene Shiv-
ers, John Ed. Crawford, Hamp Boley
and Thomas Batton, made effective
speeches on “Personality.” The crit-
ic, Betty Hunt made the few criti-
cisms. After the meeting had ad-
journed Miss Smith, the supervisor,
made a splendid talk on “Parlimen-
tary Procedure.”

Well ye ol’ poet, is back on the job.

derstanding about my wages. I know|

Athlete’s Foot Now Easily Stopped
The alarming spread of Athlete’s
foot (toe itch) can now be stopped with
a compound called Shur Shot. Though
known for many years as the quick-
est relief for Ringworm, Itch, Tetter,
etc., Its late success is greatest ol all.
Itching stops immediately. Healing fol-
lows promptly. 50c at all drug stores.
Get Shur Shot and get relief or money
back.
Geometry
A subject very hard for me
Axioms, circles, and line segments
Come in my dreams in regiments.
In a War of Mathematics,
They march along in war-like
tactics.
Triangles that are congruent,
With a line segment and a point
In my dreams for me they hunt
— and hunt.
And when I think they have me
I see. Yess, I see.
If I don’t show some spunk,
In Geometry I’m surely sunk.

Saturday night Miss Sargent en-
tertained the football boys, their dates
and the basket-ball girls with a party
in the gymn. Bingo, ping-pong and
dancing were the chief forms of en-
tertainment. The bingo prize was
won by Dorothy Jean McMahon.
Refreshments were served to ap-
proximately 50 guests. Other guests
were Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Jackson,
Miss Jewell, Kenneth Markham, and
Mr. Hough.
The Silsbee Tigers went to Newton
and outplayed the Eagles to a 22-14
game. Bevil Gilmore who was high
point man played an excellent game
alongside of A. P. Page who was
next in line. Newton made the first
score and that was the only time
they were leading the Tigers during
the entire game. Although the Eagles
plhyed a close up game, it could not
be compaed with the game our boys
played. Cupid Die, J. C. Nash, A. P.
Page and Bevil Gilmore played the
entire game. Paul Neyland and R. L.
Trout fought for the other position.
Our one and only Coach Hough was
the offical referree of the game and
did a good job of it. (Our boys won!)
