Junior High Success
An all district tackle at
Bastrop High School, Hodges is
quick to share the success of
Orchard's rag> to riches pro-
gress with Junior High Coach | \\ as not spoken of the soul
Leonard Hon lica, who also came
And things not what they seem.
Life i> real! Life is earnest!
And the grave i.- not its goal;
"I>u>t thou art, to dust return-
ed",
to the Hadgers in 1955.
"The outstanding junior high
program is as responsible for
our succe.-s as anything else,"
Hodges explained.
Hodges' greatest success thus
far is in the field of football,
where he owns an overall 39-22-
3 record, including five district
championships in six years. Ten
of the 22 defeats suffered by
Hodges-coached squads came
during his first year at Orchard
in 1955 when the Badgers went
winless.
Re-building Job
But he supervised an amaz-
ing re-building job and led his
teams to the district champion-
ship the next two years with
9-2 and 8-3 records.
Prior to his Orchard job, the
University of Texas product
coached the Corsicana State Or-
phans House at Corsicana to
two district grid championships
and was assistant coach when
the 1954 Bastrop High team
came through with a 9-11 sea-
son and the championship.
The well rounded atheletic
program at Orchard became very
apparent this basketball season
when both the junior high squad,
coached by Horelica, and the
high school girl's team, tutored
by Miss Louise Hart, also shared
in their respective district
championships.
No Scrimmage
Success of the Orchard teams
is even more amazing than the
record indicates because neither
the football or basketball teams
carry enough players on the |
roster to allow scrimmage ses-
sions.
The traveling cage squad is
composed of five starters and
one substitute. "If two men foul
out, we'll have to finish the
game with four," Hodges re-
lated.
Mainstay of the Badger bas-
ketball team is guard Melvin
Horelica, who leads his mates
in scoring with 179 points this
season. Other starters are Larry
Mahler, 6'3", 211-pound forward;
Jerry Tomlin, 6'5" center; Dan-
iel Maca, forward, and Marc
Barrios, guard.
Not enjoyment and not sorrow,
1- our destined end or way;
But to act, that each tomorrow-
Find- us Farther than today.
Art is long, and time is fleet-
ing
And our h art.-, though -tout
and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, ure
beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the worlds' broad field of
battle,
In the bivouac of life,
He not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!
Trust no future, howe'er pleas-
ant !
Let the dead past bury its dead!
Act,—act in the living present!
Heart within, and God O'er-
head!
Lives of greatmen all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And departing leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time,
Footprints, that perhaps an-
other,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked bro-
ther,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and wait.

scours
Girl Scouts, Troop 5, wa- re
organized in April, l! .">7, with
24 girl- receiving their pins.
This wa made po-sible with the
help of Louis W right, who loan-
ed hi- building for a wonder-
ful meeting place; the American
Legion for chairs; the Legion
\uxiliary for sponsoring them;
the many Bastrop citizens who
helped with drives, etc., and the
patient mothers who served as
a -istant and Troop Committee
members.
In April the girls will re
ceive their Second Class Rank
showing they have completed ac-
tivies in each of the ten pro-
gram fields. This acquaints
them with the many badges they
may then earn. They have sent
gifts to Austin State School,
and helped in city drives for po
lio, TB and cancer. They plan
to attend the scout program in
Austir in March at which time
troops for the whole district
will attend. Hikes and other
outdoor activities are planned
for spring.
Present members are:
Blue Bonnet Patrol, Lee Wea-
sels, Eva Garcie, Marsha Mc-
Laurin, Judy Scott, Loretta
Goertz and Betty Fay Barton.

"In more ways than one, this great country
of ours is a government of, by, and for the
people. And, because it is, its economic se-
curity depends greatly upon the financial
security of each individual American family.
"So when you're saving for your own fam-
ily's security, you're also helping your coun-
try. And one of the best ways to do this is
by investing regularly in United States Se-
ries E Savings Bonds."
These Bonds are one of the safest invest-
ments you can make. They're guaranteed
8afe by your Government. This means that
170,000,000 Americans stand solidly l>ehind
the value of every Bond you buy.
What's mc-p, if a Bond is lost, stolen or
destroyed, the Treasury will replace it for
you without charge. That's why people say
Bonds are safer than cash.
Bonds pay good interest, too—WSi when
held U) maturity. And they now mature in
only eight years and 11 months.
So you can see there are many good reasons
to save for the big things in your life through
I Jnited States Savings Bonds. Why not start
buying your Shares in America today? Buy
Savings Bonds through the Payroll Savings
Plan where you work or regularly where
you !>ank.
