SCHOOL’S OUT
“School’s out!” This cry echoed
down the hallways of both ele-
mentary and high school at four
o’clock yesterday, as another
school year drew to a close. As
the exuberant bids ran out the
front doors cheering, some quiet
sighs of relief could not be heard,
k)tft they were there, nevertheless.
These came from the already-
forgotten teachers and faculty.
Their work didn’t end with the
four o'clock bell, but it continues
for several more days. For the
teachers it means the adding up
and recording of final grades and
filing of yearly reports. For the
custodians it means the hard
work, which will involve several
weeks, of the final clean-up. Rut
this is only what they do'after
school. What about during
school ?
Of course the teachers have no
problem of discipline of rowdy
students; everyone knows that
every Bandera student is .as quiet
as a mouse, and twice as meek.
And every student is straight “A,”
so that eliminates complicated and
tiring paper grading. And as
there are no extra cirricular ac-
tivities, the teachers suffer rto
headaches from students wanting
to get out of class for “this and
superintendent, but she has ex-
panded, and now comes under the
titles of treasurer, ticket issuer,
taker-care of almost every situa-
tion, telephone operator, and gen-
eral handy man. What would
they do without her?
Now that the brain department
that.” Of course, if this school has sufficiently been taken care
really existed it would be perfect,
hut we know of no school like this;
least of all Bandera. Draw your
own conclusions. Ours: the teach-
ers work very hard^. for which
they receive a nominal wage, but
very often receive fair more criti-
cism than praise for the wonder-
ful job they are doing in educat-
ing the children of Bandera.
Of course the running of the
school is no little job, but Mr.
Schnelle and Mr. King seem to
take care of this end very effic--
on the teaching side. One thing
is certain; the school could not
move without Pat. She was of-
ficially hired as secretary to the
of, another part of the student
body must be seen after—the
stomach. This department is per-
haps the most criticized part of
the school. But what teen-ager
does not complain and gripe—es-
pecially about food. It is the
popular thing to do. After all,
where else but in the Bandera
lunch room can you get fried
chicken and gravy, two vegetables,
bread, milk and dessert for twenty-
five cents? Really pin a student
down, and he usually admits that
iently, as well as carry their load, enjoys the meals in the lunch

room, despite his show of scowls
and grimaces. The kitchen-work-
ers certainly deserve a vote of
merit for providing the fine meals
they did on si)ch a small budget.
And lust, but not least we come
to the “tail-end”—transportation.

whose services are taken for
granted. And if you think their

RICKY MEADOR BREAKS
ARM BEFORE EXAMS
Ricky Meador has had quite a
problem with exams, as she broke
her right arm last Thursday. How-
ever, all of the members of the
fifth' grpde plan on a grand last
day. They had their big play
some time back and now exams
are over and summer is here.
Mrs. Wright said that the May
Day Play just could not have been
given without Golden Wing be-
cause she overheard the children’s
wishes and told them to the other
jfaries. Karen Anderwald played
1 the part of Golden Wing and the
class is sorry that her name was
not in the write-up of the play.
Jeanine Hicks
Jeanine yicks has a genuine in-
terest in people. Perhaps this
wonderful characteristic in itself
can explain why she has received
more honors and held more re-
spected positions than almost any-
one else in her graduating class.
Jeanine is the oldest child of
Mr. and Mrs. D. W. “Speedy”
Hicks, and she has lived on a
ranch in Bandera since the be-
ginning of her seveitteen years.
She has been a prominent worker
in the Baptist Church for many
years and has taken a very active
part in the youth functions of that
church. She is now president of
the Baptist Training Union, and
she was named Sweetheart Queen
of that organization in I960.
Jeanine’s achievements do not
stop with her home and her
church. She has recevied the fol-

This is only a small amount of
the people it takes to make a
school run smoothly. Remember
them, and next' year whenever
you see them, give them a word
of encouragement; after all, it
could have been you doing one
of these jobs.

_
SO MUCH |
TO RURAL TEXANS
The hands that hold the phrase above could
be those of most any citizen who shared
the darkness of rural Texas 25 years ago.
For it was then that rural people organized
the first electric cooperative . . . borrowed
money at interest and built the rural electric
system that no one else would build.
Today principal an’d interest on these loans
are being repaid ... in many instances well
ahead of schedule while the rural community
enjoys the countless blessings electricity has
brought.
Modern electric systems, efficiently man-
aged, offer top flight service to remote
areas of the state.
The electric cooperatives are keeping pace
with rural development with heavier lines
and improved service.
The electric cooperatives that mean "so
much" today will mean even more in the
future.
