This Winter...enjoy (lie historic charm ol' the Gull' South.
The crinkle of crinolines, the rustle of muskets, the scent of magnolias— still linger in the
romantic atmosphere of the historic homes and plantations along the river roads and ba\ ous
of the Gulf South. On your winter vacation, take the fannh along for leisurely sightseeing
in historic Civil War battlegrounds, hustling cities and semi-tropical garden spots. While
you're vacationing, investigate the many industrial advantages of the Gulf South, the sec-

SCHOOL, SPIRIT IS REVIVED
BY ENTHUSIASTIC
STUDENTS
By Beth Singletary
School /spirit has been heigh-
tened immeasurably during the
past two weeks by the extra-
ordinary participation of the
various classes during the pep
rallies.
The Junior class displayed a
lengthy banner that proudly
proclaimed, “The Juniors Are
Backing the Tigers All The
Way!” The members of the
Junior class sat beneath the
banner during the pep rally f<>i
the Silsbee-Huntsville game.
The Sophomore and Junior
Classes combined to give the
Tiger spirit a tremendous boost
during the Silsbee-Jasper pre-
game rally last week. Another
banner that stretched nearly
one-half the length of one side
of the gym clearly stated that
the Sophs and Juniors are real-
ly behind this year’s team. Stu-
dents waved Tiger pickets and
maroon and white crepe paper
streamers. Paper confetti was
blown through the stands by an
electric fan. Sophomore Tan
Wills contributed a beautiful,
colorful poster as did Senior
(Carmen Dominguez.
Today was Senior Color Day.
Members of the Senior class,
gayly clad in maroon and
white, arrived at school in high
spirits. A Senior spirit demon-
stration was conducted during

class will also lead the Shirt-
tail Parade tonight which pre
cedes the annual Homecoming
Bonfire.
These activities have clim-
axed three weeks of intense
preparation by the members
and teachers of all three class-
es. The pep rallies have been
more colorful and enthusiastic
than ever before. The football
team’s victories, of course, have
done much to heighten pep
rally appeal and to keep the
Tiger spirit of SHS alive.
SCHOOL ELECTIONS
Elections in Silsbee High
follow state election laws as
closely as possible. Only in the
methods used to bring voters
to the polls do they deviate. As
a result, students who attend
Silsbee High will know how to
vote later in municipal, state,
and national elections.
The elections are carried on
by civics’ classes to provide ex-
perience. The ballots used are
similar to those used in Silsbee
(mils. Each ballot has a stub
which bears a number corres-
ponding to one printed on the
ballot. The voter is to sign his
name on the stub for use later
should the election be contest-
ed. Proposals or names of can-
didates to be put to vote are
written on the ballot. The can-
didates or proposals for whom
the voter does not wish to vote
are simply marked out.
The election system now em-
ployed by our school is another
method by which students are
prepared for productive citi-
zenship in later life.
SILSBEE VS. JASPER
Last Friday night the Silsbee
Tigers traveled to Jasper to
engage in the annual Silsbec-
Jasper battle.
The Tigers received the kiek-
ofl, only to fumble and lose
possession of the ball. Jasper,
on this recovery, scored within
i sc1 l ies of downs. The two-
pomt conversion failed.
'The Tigers, taking the Jasper
kick-off, moved the ball down-
field in a series of plays to the
goal where Ftilback Nicky Gil-
bert scored. The Tigers ran the
two-point conversion which

Silsbee.
Toward the end of the first
half Jasper scored again, but
the conversion attempt failed.
The score at the half was 12-8
in favor of Jasper.
The Tigers scored early in
the third quarter with a dazz-
ling run by Halfback Johnny
Upshaw after recovering a
Bulldog fumble. The extra
point was blocked. The third
quarter elided with the score
of Silsbee 14, Jasper 12.
Jasper scored again in the
beginning of the fourth quar-
ter. The Tigers stopped the
two-point conversion for the
third straight time.
With only minutes left in the
game, the Tigers again rallied
and Kandy Read ran the touch-
down. The extra points were
made on a fake kick and pass
play.
At the end of the game the
Tigers were in possession and
mounting a concentrated scor-
ing threat. The final score was
Silsbee 22, Jasper 18.
SOPHOMORE STORIES
By Jean and Sandra
The Sophomore class really
boosted the Tiger spirit at the
Pep Rally Friday. Sally H. ear-
ned a large banner that pic-
tured the Tigers winning the
district trophy. Tan made the
poster that was displayed at
the end of the gym. Other stu-
dents also made posters to
show their school spirit. Con-
fetti was thrown at the end of
the yells. Punky was named a
captain for the game that night
Paul was a captain at the
Huntsville game last week.
The sophomores took apti-
tude tests last Tuesday and
Wednesday. These tests were to
show in what field the student
is best.
Nine weeks tests will be giv-
en this week. The students are
busy studying for these tests.
The student body voted for
homecoming queen Friday. The
results of the voting will be
announced Friday night at th<
homecoming game. Sylvia. Het-
ty, Judy, and Sanilra will rep-
resent the sophomore class at
that time.

JUNIOR NEWS
By Iva Sledge
Tuesday night a group of
Juniors met at Vivian Die-
trich’s house to discuss the fin-
al details about their cake sale
and car wash. After the meet-
ing they were served sand
wiches, kool-aid, and potato
chips. During the remainder of
the week they were busy sell-
ing tickets to the car wash and
contracting people to bake
cakes.
The car wash was held be-
hind the Minimax. The Juniors
worked hard all day; and as a
result, there are many shiny
clean cars in town. But “all
work and no play” is no fun,
so at the end of the day every-
one was “all wet.”
The cake sale which was in
front of Birdwell’s went over
very well, also, and together
with the ear wash, the Junior
class is dollars richer.
Thursday night there were
quite a few Juniors in the car
parade. Everyone had a good
time, but stayed in line to
make for another fine car par-
ade.
Friday in the pep rally the
Juniors again had the spirit.

Tourist Business
is Good Business
in the Gulf South
Vacationers spend big money in the eities and towns of the
Gulf South — money that means more employment, bigger
payrolls in all lines of business. That's why United Gas places
colorful advertisements in national magazines to promote the
tourist attractions of the area it serves. At the same time,
United Gas ads encourage industrialists to consider the Gulf
South as a location for their new plants... one of many ways
in which our company is “serving the Gulf South.”
