CAT'S CORNER at Andrews High School By J ANNETTE CABRTNGEB We of A.H.S. were provided with some unique entertainment in As sembly Wednesday, as the French Club took the stage. First on the program was a poem by Rita Math eson followed by a skit concerning Charles, a rowdy French school boy, played by Butch Love. The teacher was Billie Blevins and Lar ry Huls served as interpreter. A minuet was performed by Carolyn Evans and Joyce Deaton, after which the club sang two French songs, "How Do You Plant Your Cabbage?" and "Frere Joaques". In the latter Archie Myers play ed Brother John. Pianists were Wanda Bryant and Beverly Tank ersley with Robert Huffstetler serving as announcer. Congratulations to the entire French Club for their fine work in bringing us this highly enter taining program. Wildcats fans found their loyal ties divided Friday afternoon when the 'Cats took the field to play the 'Cats in a rough and ready game of football. Coach Maennle divided his team according to equal play ing ability with John Ellis coach ing the 'White" Team and Leroy Gilbert coaching the "Red" team Captains were Archie Myers and Joe Jones? "Red"; and Terry Pos tell and Gerald Curtis "White". The White team took the lead in the first quarter with Hubert My ers scoring the TD. After two scoreless quarters Archie Myers scored for the Red team but Terry Pastell came through in time with a TD and extra point for the "White" victory 13-?. The proceeds of the game will go to the Junior and Senior class treasuries. Tickets were sold by members of both classes and the proceeds are to be divided equally between the classes. Student pictures were received Wednesday, causing quite a bit of confusion as students exchanged photographs with friends, teachers and anyone else who wished to trade. The pictures were received with much enthusiasm; and though there were a few questionable like nesses, almost everybody seemed well pleased with them. ksf 4 jgweasssEMKCktfna If you would like to place an ad in the 1958 "WILDCAT" and have not been contacted, you may do so by contacting Bob Slagle.
