P. H. S. Wins Three Loving Cups At the County Meet
 

Three loving cups won by Palacios High school students at the county meet in Bay City last Friday and Saturday, March 27 and 28, among them being the popular athletic loving cup, so highly prized by our students because it was given by P. H. S. graduates.

The Palacios boys were in charge of their athletic director, H. C. Lewis; the girls' tennis teams in charge of Miss Partain, director, and the girls' basket ball teams were in charge of Miss Hayes, director.

The meet was a very pretty one and every race was closely contested, and in every race Palacios had from one to three winners. They were as follows.

50 yd dash - Bruce Berger, 1st.

100 yd dash - Bruce Berger, 1st; Irvin Horton, 2nd.

220 yd dash - Bruce Berger, 1st; Irvin Horton, 4th.

LITERARY EVENTS.

Charles Nester, though a junior in age, won first place in Senior Boy's Declamation.
 

Darwin (Buttsy) Huddleston, though shortest in stature, proved to be longest in ability as an orator, when he defeated two other boys much larger, for first place in Junior Boy's Declamation. Both boys brought back to his school a large and beautiful loving cup. Virginia Greenwood won second place in Junior Girl's Declamation.
 

Monday morning at chapel was a scene of recounting victories, and of much enthusiasm for our winners. On Friday night the winning contestants and teachers will probably celebrate their victories by building a bonfire on the campus and having a picnic lunch and games.

Palacios has a large number who are eligible to attend District meet at Houston April 24th and 25th. The only difficulty will be in raising funds to take all who should attend.

P. H. S. Attends District Meet At Houston, Texas
 

Thursday morning, April 23, Palacios contestants, accompanied by H. C. Lewis, started for Houston to attend the District Meet, held at Rice Institute, on April 24th and 25th.
 

In track Palacios was represented by Bruce Berger in the dashes; Howard Stapp, Emmett Gibson, Glenn Shuey and Weldon Sullivan in the long races.

In tennis, girls' singles, by Ruby Chamblee; girls' doubles by Fay Greene and Nellie Mae Pasal. Boys' singles by Raymond Waters. In doubles by Bruce Berger and Raymond Waters.
 

In declamation we were represented by Darwin Huddleston in the Junior division and Charles Nester, senior.

The best record made by any one from Palacios was made by Darwin Huddleston, who won second place, with eight others seeking the honor. This year junior declamation ends with the
District meet.

In tennis our girls played in several preliminary contests but were eliminated before reaching the finals. Our next to best record was made by boys' doubles, Raymond and Bruce, who defeated several good teams from towns our size, and it seemed for awhile that they would defeat the team from Ball High, Galveston, as each had won one set, but finally Ball High won, only to meet defeat by Houston Central High, hence our team got third place. In track events we were hit hard by another new ruling from Austin, which caused all schools to contest with class "A" schools instead of having class "A" and "B" as formerly, and of course Central High took everything without much opposition. Had the meet been conducted as usual we would have been certain to place several men in first and second places for the state meet at Austin in May.

However, everyone did their best and our men were not the last, even if not the first to finish. The experiment was profitable and the trip worth while.

Watch announcements for base ball games and come out and help us win them.
