THE SEINE . . .
Some H.S. Students Out With Measles;
Some Wanted To Watch School Burn
By PAT & CO.
High school has had a mild
measles epidemic. Those out last
week were Marvin Kastrop, Butch
Bowers and Norris Crawford. They
are all well now, though.
That good looking boy with all
those teeth is Joe Sartain, in case
you wondered.
Don’t listen to Pam if she starts
talking about Saturday night. She
thinks she’s good just ’cause she
got to hear the Kings.
Who did Betty Ann entertain
Monday afternoon?
On the High School calendar:
Monday, February 2—FFA meet-
ing; Tuesday 8—PTA! meeting at
7:30, boy’s basketball game in Bol-
ing; Wednesday 4—Kuder test for
juniors, class meetings; Thursday

day 6—girls’ basketball tourna-
ment in Sweeny, boys play here;

entine dance with 8 high school

Neat appearance: Sophs, Geral-
dine Kovar, Hensley Weaver; Jun-
iors, Mary Garcia and Herbert
Henry; and Seniors, Linda Beasley
and Charley Michalik.
What was Mary scaring every-
body with Tuesday?
Most Interesting Person: Norris
Raymond Crawford was born on
March 14, 1942, in El Campo, Tex.
He has an older sister and two older
brothers. He is vice-president of
the junior class, president of the
Youth Club, and sports editor for
the Ebb Tide. Norris was recently
voted Junior Class favorite. He is
a member of the Presbyterian
Church. He is 5’ 7”, has brown eyes
and brown hair. He drives what he

calls a beautiful black ’40 Ford
with red wheels, Norris played half-
back last season for the Sharks,
and football is his favorite sport.
His favorite subjects are English
and physics, his favorite food is
shrimp even though he’s allergic
to them. Norris’s favorite color is
blue and his favorite song is the
Penguins’ "Earth Angel.” He also
likes hot rods, good music (includ-
ing hill-billy!) girls, food, tele-
vision westerns—especially Mave-
rick—choir, and money. Norris
doesn’t like “long hair music,” peo-
ple who argue, or “The Little
Space Girl”. His main ambition is
to go to college (the University
of Texas) “and have a blast.”
JWlho is M. L.’s secret love?
Some people wanted to go to
West Columbia to see the school
burn down IMonday, but Mr. Smith
didn’t think that was a very good
idea.
June, somebody told you an un-
truth. Did you know it?
Where was Tommy Brandon last
week-end?
You may not have realized it,
but Edward Pennington’s initials
are quite famous. They just happen
to be the same as Elvis Presley’s.
A compliment for Johnny Pen-
land; somebody (who’d rather re-
main anonymous) thinks you’re
the nicest boy in high school!
June Whitley and Tracey Thomp-
son won the prizes for most hobo-
ish at the Youth Club’s Hobo Dance
Saturday night.
What were Mary Frances and
Van mixed up about Friday night?

In parting we would like to say,
Yea, Seniors!
Eschatology is the study of “last
things”—i.e., death and the end of
the world.
Mr. and Mrs. George (Sonny)
Chiles and two children of Hous-
ton spent the week end here with
their parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. 0.
Cavallin and Mrs. E. I. Chiles, Sr.
Other guests in the Cavallin home

" LITTLE HEEL "
Filibustering Challenges Women
The expected Senate battle to
restret the fil’buster may leave
women the undisputed champs of
the art of talking the opposition
to death.
The little woman has long been
notorious for her back-fence ora-
tory. But she has had strong com-
petition from senators who have
recited from the Bible, read old
newspapers and even disclosed their
favorite recipes in an attempt to
kill or amend legislation they op-
posed,
Research experts with The World
Book Encyclopedia report that
many believe Sen. Strom Thurmond
holds the record for a one-man
filibuster. The South Carolina
Democrat spoke for 24 hours, 18
minutes, in 1957. He began the fili-
buster by reading the texts of the
election laws of the 48 states.
Thurmond got a breather, how-
ever, when another senator asked
for the floor to make an insertion
in the Congressional Record.
Some purists argue that Sen.
IWayne Morse held the floor longer
than any other member of the
Seriate. In 1953, the Oregon In-
dependent talked for 28 hours, 26
minutes, without any interruptions,
in ari effort to prevent the passage
of the tidelands oil bill.
Republicans, too, have had their
share in trying to stifle legislation
by wearing down the opposition
with talk. In 1908, Wisconsin’s
Sen. Robert LaFollette Sr. held the
loor for 13 hours, 23 minutes, in
a fillibuster against the Aldrieh-
Vreeland currency bill, although he
did not talk continuously.
Senators have filibustered
against targets ranging from the
Atomic Energy Act to a migratory-
bird bill. But despite these for-
midable male threats, the record
for an unbroken monologue still be-
longs to a woman.
Last summer, a housewife from
Tulsa, Oklahoma, won a contest
for the world’s champion talker by
jabbering away for 94 hours, 32
minutes, 5 seconds.
Medicine Mound, Texas, takes its
name from four elevations in the
vicinity. These were called medi-
cine mounds and were camp and
ceremonial sites of the Comanche
Indians. Medicinal herbs not avail-
able elsewhere were found there.
