Everyone who was in anyway connected with the school the blow and are dazed from it. Too many times we students have said in fun, "Oh, if only the school would burn.

would really have Now that this foolish wish has been granted most of us would do nearly anything to have it back the way it was. We would gladly go in barns or under trees in the cold of winter if that would help replace our school. This disaster has affected me rather differently from most of the students. I did not have to come back to Tivy this year, but it has meant so much to me, and I felt that, I needed Tivy. Now, when she is in ashes and ruin, I could leave and go to a new school with all conveniences, and have a glorious senior year, but it would not be like Tivy.

When this war is over, Tivy will be built back better than ever. In future years, Tivy will mean more to us, because we have suffered with Tivy during- her worst disaster. Thursday night the Tivy Spikes were hosts to the Harlandale Papooses from San Antonio. Despite a good game by the Spikes, the Papooses out-ran them 12-0. It was a return game to the Spikes.

The admission to the game was a lOo 1 War Savings Stamp for high school students and a stamp for Approximately $75.00 dollars wa.s the total sold at the admission gate. The Tivy High School Band furnished music for the occasion. Last week the third year Agriculture Class wont on two of its few field trips of the year. The purpose of the trin was to lay out some terraces. The trip was to Senior Personalities DONALD JORDA Nine ytars ago a bright-eyed little boy started a career as a schoolboy in Kerrville.

Donald had just arrived from Louisiana and not so sure ha was going to like to so high above sen level, but. as years passed, fondness grew and by the time he attended four years at Notre Damu and five years at Tivy he thought there vvns no place like Kerrville. There are very few things that Donald doesn't like, and among his many likes are to milk while raining, to listen to the strains of "Rhapsody in Blue," and to lose himself in the world of adventure found in any good book. Donald finds a great deal of sport in track, softball and checkers. Mrs.

Vordenbaum and Mrs. Serota are his favorite teachers and his pet subjects are math and science. Donald wants to see the western states by way of thumb and personally interview his favorite actors: Walter Huston and Gary Cooper. Incidentally, his favorite movie is fiction based on fact with a very good natural ending. Upon finishing this little tour, he plans to go into the navy for a career.

We all know that Donald will make good because he has that ounce of determination that takes. RACHEL BARR That "cute, lovable soda jerker" is none other than Rahcel Barr. She was born at Bridgeport, Texas, in 1923. She likes dolls (which is her hobby, too) and dogs. The movie star, Betty Davis, and conceited people are her dislikes.

She does not have a favorite teacher but says she likes them all. The sor- she likes is "Moonlight Serenade," and Glenn Miller is her favorite orchestra leader. She has been an active member in the choral club for the two years she has been attending sketches is her Tivy. Drawing favorite pastime and she can really draw, as most students know. She is taking a commercial art course and plans to get a job in that field upon her graduation from school.

Where ever she may be at any time, may she always remember her "good ole school days at Tivy." ANNA BELLE REYNOLDS Anna Bolle is that cute little brunette that you see rushing around in the halls running er- Mr. Brown's place. This year the rands or cutting a stencil. She class is studying farm management, margin and other things which are vital to the proper and profitable running of a farm or ranch. Aviation Class Makes Visit to Kelly Field Last Wednesday Morn Kelly Field of San Antonio was the objective of a convoy of Tivy cars last Wednesday morning.

The cars were filled with the future pilots of the aviation science class led by Mrs. Serota. The group was met at the gate by a Public Relations officer who directed them to a far part of the field. Here the tour revealed the appearance and general characteristics of three types of advanced trainers: The Beechcraft AT-10, the Curtiss Wright AT-9, and the Cessna AT-17 or "Cheese Box," as it is commonly called. A group of sergeants were kind in explaining the movement of the controls and operation of the instruments to tha boys who sat in the pilot's and co-pilot's seats.

Many types of aircraft were seen among which were some of the country's latest fighting planes. On conclusion of the tour, the class was addressed impressively by a lieutenant who spoke of the extensive and hard training received by a naviation cadet in tin- Army Air Corps. The- trip was of great bent fit to each member of the class. has gone to Tivy all her life and expects to finish in May of 1943. She likes all her subjects, but she likes stenography best.

She also likes all the teachers, but her favorites are Mrs. Andrews, Mrs. Steves and Mrs. Vordenbaum. She is a little different from most people because she likes spinach and enchilidas.

Her favorite songs are "White Christmas" and "There's a Star Spangled Banner." Her favorite band leaders are Kay Kyser and Tommy Dorsey, Her favorite sports are dancing, skating and horseback riding, but she prefers dancing. Her ambition in life it to be someone's stenographer and we know whatever she may attempt in life she will succeed. MATILDA BONN Matilda Bonn, demure, gray- eyed brownette has gone to Tivy all her life. Her favorites are enchiladas, baseball, skating, dancing, English, stenography, Mrs. Steves, Mrs.

Andrews, "White Christmas," "There's a Star-Spangled Banner," Kay Kyser and SPECTATOR What a lot of things have been proin on this week for us to snoop in, so now we truthfully pass on to you all we've witnessed for your pleasure HEADLINERS: Betty Jos in genci-al, and Betty Jo Beitel's red blouse. Jjmmic Blake's black and white checked coat. Barbara McIver's becoming hunting cap. Mrs. Steves' red stockings and whole outfit (seen Friday night) Which Antlerctte did you rob? ESCAPED: One woolly lion, but he seems to have captured Billic Ruth heart.

Of course we know who let him go. Who doesn't (Gosh, don't you know?) HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK: The swell barn dance that the seniors put on (and the news vou students have read this far to get at.) Noticed among the hay (seed) were Helen Michon and Donald Jorda, Charles (Professional) Stanley and Katie Lee Elliot, and double-dating were Jimmy King, Rebecca Van Dyke, Dale Wallace and Betty Jo Beitel. "Becky" claims she had simply oodles of fun. Believe it or not, Mrs. Steves and Mrs.

Hirth are really in their wish to learn to jitterbug. (Who'll volunteer?) Dancing about were Tom Daniel and Frances Patricia S. and "Buddy" Wolcott (minus the Dwight one), and Georgia A. and Tom Sibson. Pipes seemed to be the fashion, though, and Eurby and T.

H. Nutter were just two of those snorting them. That reminds us, did you notice that couple straight from "Dog- atc" patch "Jodie us. At least that's what and T. H.

looked like to LOST: Was it your last friend, Boots? From the expression on your face that's all we could judge, but it could have been just discouragement, I suppose. Too bad you didn't attend the dance, anyway! (If you readers can't guess from here, see RELIEVED: Some nine 0. E. pledges who've been running the gauntlet of public opinion as to their sanity.

OLD STORY: You guessed it, fc.I. again crashes our column, through none other than Joan Auld and Tommie Womack, and they seemed to enjoy themselves at the dance Saturday, along with other Tivyites. PREVIEW: Thanksgiving came early at a church with a big dinner (yes) for some S.I. boys.

Enjoying themselves were Nina Gene Moore and Russell Scott, and Patricia S. and Bobbie Breihan. IN CLOSING: Doris Mae Hirth and Jimmie Blake were again enjoying themselves this week end. This is getting to be a habit (but pleasant one!) sad that Allen Steves was unable to attend the dance, but they made up for it on Sunday. With a big holiday ahead, we're warning you in advance, for the all, knows all, tells all, if it Spectator" sees (and, of course) With her ambitions and intelligence she will become one of the sought-after specimens of the business world.

Sammy Kaye. She is planning to become a stenographer, and her boss, whoever he may be, will be very lucky to have such a neat assistant. PRESTON STONE Preston has attended Tivy for three years; prior to that his hair used to be a different color. Could Preston have undergone some sort of an accident? Preston has only one dislike, two-faced people. (Don't we all?) His favorite subject is and best of all, fat stock shows of which he has seen a great many.

This may explain his reason for becoming a rancher upon finishing school. He likes one girl, M.A.H. He likes to hunt and to play football. Preston likes to dance to the music of good bands, and "White Christmas" tops the list of his favorite songe as does Gene Autrey as his favorite actor. gets by the censor.

So do everything you and make us Texas Defense Guard This is the time in which service to the nation is a thought foremost in the minds of Tivy Students. This thought sprang into the minds of the pupils when the President asked each student in the nation to do his utmost toward the winning of the war. Each Tivy student should not only accept it as a challenge but should set it as his, own individual objective. Last year Tivy participated in numerous war activities with a great deal of success clue to participation of a majority of the students and the outstanding efforts of each of these individuals. Among those activities were conservation, first aid, and the student defense guard.

This year the group of activities is enlarged, without the student defense guard. The boys who wanted to have a defense guard this year were told of the Texas Defense Guard, of which Co. D. of Kerrville is a part. These boys are now members of Co.

and are proud to be serving their country in this way. They can tell you of the opportunities gained on enlistment, opportunities to learn something of military science and discipline and also of physical fitness. These opportunities benefit them later when they serve in the armed forces and give them a better chance for advancement. Those who tell you this visualized these opportunities. They felt that this was the best way in which they could serve their country while in school.

This is a challenge to the boys of Tivy to serve in an organization which these few think ex- cells any of our student war activities. Students Asked Parents Warned to To Report for Intramural Sports Intramural sports have held the chief interest of the pupils in the Physical Education classes at Tivy, and classes and teams were organized Wednesday to participate in a round of tournaments, which are to be held after the close of the football season Friday. These tournaments will be sponsored by the instructors, Coach Paul Snow and Mrs. Beverly Rhyne, and will include a large number of pupils. Such games as volleyball, tennis, val-ten ball, baseball, soft ball, touch football and table tennis will ba played.

The names of the winning teams and captains of these groups will be announced from time to time, as well as the schedules for the finals. All students who are interested in any of these sports are asked to report to the gym every clay from 12:30 p.m. until 1:00 p.m. for assignment and practice. The purpose of these tournaments will be to promote the physical structure of the student, and to create a feeling 1 of interest in the student body and the good sportsmanship of the individual student.

These will be forms of sport in which all can participate. Turtle Creek Arthur Real of San Antonio was a visitor in the community Friday. Mr. and Mrs. J.

Cox, State Health Officer, is again warning parents to make sure that their children are protected against this killing disease by diphtheria immunization. According to the State Health Department, records show that less than 50 per cent of the children in Texas are inoculated against diphtheria.

"Inasmuch as toxoid inoculation can and will prevent diphtheria, it seems incredible that so many of our children are allowed to 'remain open to the attack," Dr. Cox said. "Diphtheria is a killer and a vicious one. There arc few diseases which cause the victim more agony than docs diphtheria, and it is certainly the solemn responsibility of parents to make sure that their children do not fall victim to this disease." Dr. Cox advised that children be taken to their family physician for inoculation and stated further that in the event parents are unable to pay for this service, county health units will administer the toxoid without charge.

All children should be immunized against diphtheria before reaching their first birthday, but if not, they definitely should have the inoculation before entering school, Dr. Cox said. There is always danger of diphtheria among school children and until every child in Texas is inoculated before school age there will be no way of preventing the incidence and spread of diphtheria among our Texas school children.
