Xmas Angels
Spread Joy
By Cheryl Case '
Pause to consider the many
little things that people do for
your each day. Are you always
courteous, or are you too preoc-
cupied or busy to bother with such
nonsense? Notice the following
people who are PC’s Christmas
angels.
Arthur Johnson lighting the ra-
diator in room 142 first period
on the last day of November-
Dependable Elizabeth William-
son playing the piano at BSU-
Freddy Mason and J. R. Bran-
non working feverishly at the con-
cession stand-
Martell Freeman working dili-
gently with the ping pong tourna-
ment-
Coach Griffin not giving tests
the day after a game-
Stephen Lane carrying Cecil
Robertson’s equipment-
Mrs. Glass working toward a
successful Christmas party-
Marthage Miller and Raymond
Rhea forever smiling and voicing
friendly greetings to everyone-
Of course, our angels would not
be complete without a devil. In
this case, the nomination goes to
Cecil Robertson for holding doors
closed instead of open for ladies.
What! No Santa?-
(Continued from page 1)
answer to anyone trying to tell
her that there was no Santa Claus.
“I told my classmates that they
had lied. My mother and daddy’s
bed squeaked real bad when they
got up. That night they never got
up because I didn’t hear the bed
squeak.” Zoe Ann concluded that
being on the snoopy side, she
found her presents ahead of time
and felt that the world had be-
trayed her.
Freddie Paul had a very typical
answer, “I told everyone I had
known all the time, but that I was
just going along with the crowd.”
Kathy Majors was very prac-
tical about it, too. She just waited
until the next Christmas and when
she still received gifts she told
everyone they had lied to her.
Janice Campbell replies, ‘It’s
the biggest let down I ever had.”
It seems that the girls were
very sentimental while the boys
were a bit more flippant. From
the boys I got such replies as
Phillip Barton’s “Oh, Heck.” Dan-
ny Templin answers, “What! No
Santa.”
Of course, there are always
those who take things as they are,
and respond as Leona Brittian did,

PC’ers Reveal
Holiday Plans
BY LINDA MACE
Christmas holidays will soon be
here. Rah! And as usual all PJC
students will be whooping it up.
Some have already made plans
for their vacations.
Stephen Lane will be working
very hard in order to pay for
Kathy Patterson’s Christmas pres-
ant. Kathy says she’ll be spending
all her spare time picking out
what she wants from Stephen.
Veneida Foster is planning to
visit her “old courting grounds”
at San Angelo College. Veneida,
did you say you are going to look
for a husband, or to see the one
you’ve stashed away there?
Elizabeth Williamson says that
she’s going to find the real Santa
Claus for sure this year. She’s
tired of all this fake beard Jazz.
Happy hunting!
Maritha Dison is traveling to
Arkansas to go deer hunting, or
is that deAr hunting? Really Mar-
itha, doesn’t Panola or Joaquin
have what you’re looking for?
Virginia Swan will be home as
usual calling cows.
Carole Brock has several dates
lined up with her Florida bear.
Carole seems to prefer boys with
a suntan.
Gloria Hancock is traveling to
Nacogdoches to visit her cousin???
Kathy Majors will spend her
vacation eating, sleeping, and tak-
ing showers! !
Jeanne Alice Lee plans on going
to Galveston to surf. She’s a
member of the Texas Polar Bear
Club.
Mr. Cecil Robertson, our noted
chemistry professor, is planning
another trip to McComb and Ma-
gee, Mississippi, to visit relatives.
He sure keeps the roads from Tex-
as to Mississippi hot!
Did you hear the loud cheering
from the direction of the dorm?
I guess Coach Griffin just told the
basketball boys they could go
home for the holidays. No 10:30
curfew and workouts for six glor-
ious days! Just remember boys,
we have a game January 2, and
we want to win! ! !
Freddy Mason is still looking
for a wagon so he can have a
hayride. He isn’t having much
luck. Doesn’t anyone have an
idea??
If you haven’t any plans you
are invited to join Sammy Reed
in raising a — of a commotion.
Happy Holidays!!!
“So what, that is just life.”
Soon Christmas will again re-
turn and as Deanna Futrell says,
“We still have the spirit of Santa,”
and that’s what really counts.

The Apocalyptic Reviewer
BY LEE KELLY
Feature Editor
Well friends, it’s once again
that happy yuletide season of
debt, greed, indigestion, and Asia-
tic flu. As you know, this is the
time of year that people make
lists of the gifts they want to
receive and the gifts they have
to give. Guess which lists are
longer. Not being one to flaunt
tradition, I have elected to
publish my Christmas list in order
to allow my friends to prepare
adequate defense. Very sporting,
don’t you think? Here it is:
To my buddy J. C. Cooper
I send two 6-packs of chocolate
Metrecal. (You can exchange
that for strawberry if you like,
J. C.)
Jimmy Rosett gets a free tax-
paid brain graft from Garland,
my pet three-toed tree sloth, to
improve his grades.
A Barbie doll goes to Doug
Waldrop. I can’t afford a ward-
robe too, but I doubt he’ll mind.
Good luck, Doug.
Albert Tiller seems a little
sluggish of late. Perhaps a gallon
of Geritol will remedy his tired
blood. Merry Christmas, Patsy.
For reasons known only to
James Grant and myself, I give
him a third-grade speller.
To Kathy Majors, star halfback
of Beckville, Rockhill, and points
south, I send a brand-new gen-
uine, swine-bladder football auto-
graphed by Greg (Rock) Gunchen-
falter. Who’s he? Don’t put me
on. Ask Kathy.
To Scooter Adams and Sammy
Reed, still bitter about November
3rd, I give a wind-up Barry
Goldwater doll that grins toughly

but good-naturedly, tears up so-
cial security cards, and avoids
answering direct questions almost
as well as did the now obsolete
Eisenhower and Nixon dolls.
To David Copeland, still chuck-
ling about November 3rd, I send
the new LBJ doll that shakes
your hand warmly with one hand
and picks your pocket with the
other.
Jerry Odom, sadly recalling the
good old days at BHS, gets a
1963 Beckville yearbook, a mir-
ror, two jars of tooth cap, and a
do-it-yourself plastic surgery kit.
That does it. Please address
thanks to Locker 126, accompan-
ied by a small obligation. Ho. Ho.
Ho. Merry Christmas to you, too.

the Argentine cowboy.

really believe in Santa, but
she once did! (See story, p.
