e L-etters Urged "In answer to a letter written

by former student Andy Breff ielh, midshipman with the U. S. Navy at Annapolis, and interest shown by some Student Council mem­bers, over 700 letters to Hanoi were mailed to POW Campaign, Annapolis, Maryland, from stu­dents in our school ," said Ubby McCullough .

Andy says that as a result of recent pressure by public opinion of Hanoi that North Viet Nam has agreed to permit the flow of let­ters between prisoners and their f.amilies this Christmas. It is hop­ed, therefore, that a volume of correspondence a imed at Har:~oi will make it aware that Americans do care about the 1500 men be­ing held as prisoners there.

"Interested citizens have been asked to write letters .and sign petitions to bring further pressure on North Viet Norm to permit neu­tral inspection of all prison camps, to publish a complete list of all men being held, to allow a free flow of mail between the prison­ers of war and their families, and

NRA Sets Rules The National Rifle Association,

of which Shreve's ROTC cadets and sponsors are a part, acts for the shooting sport in much the same way the Amateur Athletic Un ion (the AAU) does w ith other sports . NRA sets the rules, main­tains records, operates national shooting programs and ch-amp­ionship events, organ izes clubs, prepares instruction manuals and train ing a ids and publishes THE AM!f?RICAN RIFLEMAN a maga­z ine devoted to rifl es and shoot­ing.

Orgtn ized in 1871 , the NRA is one of the oldest and strongest sportsmen's organ izations in this country. It is a non-profit, non sectarian and non-political mem­bersh ip corporation. It is recogniz­ed by Congress as the agency through which Amer ican citi zens are trained in small arms marks­mansh ip. It is not a branch of the U. S. Government. It is not a trade associlation, nor does it sell shoot­ing equipment. It does "sell" a shooting program to the clubs and ind ividual members of the NRA.

Shreve's NRA Club offioers are Ph illip Lu nsford, president; Ro­ger McMillan, v ice-president, Gr-eg Smith, excutive off ic.er and Ga yle Fannon, secretary-treasurer.

Prisoner Release Supported by Many by Charles Cook

A topic of much interest .among boys approaching draft age is the Vietnam War. Although many Amerioan servicemen have re­turned home from the war, ap7 proximately 1600 unknown Ame­rican sold iers and pilots are be­lieved to be held captive in North Vietnam. Many Americans are known to be POW's in North Viet­n<am but in the case of over a thousand men, it is not known whether they are alive or not.

Although in v iolation of the Geneva Treaty, pr isoners •are not allowed to send or receive mail, packages or even messages. Com­munists have only released the names of a few captives.

Another way is to write to the leaders of nations around the wo~ld who trade with Commun­ists. North Vietnam, be ing a non­agricultural and non~industrial nation, depends upon its trac;le with foreign nations to feed and clothe its popul.ation. If nations around the world were to refuse to trade with the North Vietna-

mese, the desired results would quickly appear.

Whether you bel ieve in the war or not, give this project a few m inutes of your time. You, or someone you know and love may someday d ie in a North Vietna­mese prison camp, simply be­cause Amer icans d idn 't show they cared.

Christmas Gift List Suggested For Those Who Have Everything

by Diana Fulton

Ch'rome plated dogbones ••• Austrian apricots ... Wicker frog wastebaskets ... preserved dino· saur bones .. .

Believe it or not, this strange group of items could be some­one's Christmas list this year. The. 1970 hoi iday season has brought one of the widest selections of gift ideas ever as is evidenced by many of the Christmas catalogs.

Though it's the thought and not the gift that counts, everyone tries to satisfy the hard-to.please per­son on his list. Th is ye.ar there is something to please just aibout everyone, no matter what his tastes are. '

When money is no object, why not begin with the best: An eight­foot rep I ica of Noah's Ark, costing only $588,000. It is complete w ith 190 ('in pairs, of course), in­cluding mammals, birds, fish, in­sects and reptiles.

For those who don't cart! for an imals, there · is a one-day Cari­bean cruise for 600 people at a cost of $35,000. Then there is a lucile bathtub w ith a built-in a­quarium for $5,000.

As for the ch ildren who have everything, a spec ial junior- size car is available. A model of a 1929 Bentley that will go up to 12 miles per hour, and all for just $1,500.

Needless to say, there are some people who would prefer to spend .a little less money. For those whose money does not grow on trees, there are a few less expens ive but equally useful items.

Recipe Provides Happier Season

by Jan Lewis Mix one cup of giving with one

cup of apprec iation of rece iving, while beat ing frustrations and pouring in one and .a half cups of patience. Slowly stir in t ime to enjoy the sp irit in your own home instead of rushing about so hap­hazard ly tnat you forget the pur­pose of Christmas. Don't be a­fraid to add a generous spoonful of love to everyone you see out­side of your family.

Oarefully cover the temptations to yell and push in crowds or store I ines as everyone is on the verge of boiling over. Cook at med ium speed to avoid the dan­ger of burning the peace and ser­enity of th is Yuletide Season.

Serve in generous portions. Use th is recipe to obta in the fla­vor of this season the whole year round . Merry Christmas.

For example, how about a hand•made needlepoint fly swat­ter? Or even a hand-painted por­celain thimble? In the toy depart­ment, try a b31let school for mice, a stuffed walrus or a toadstool doll house.

The ultimate in planning for the future is also now available. Tiny two-foot live oak trees are being offered by a large department store for planting this year. They are guaranteed to grow to a height of 30 feet and designec;f to provide shade for many years and many grandchildren to come.

The list could go on and on. Everyth ing imag inable and many things never dre·amed of before are available in stores >and cata-logs th is season. ·

Still having trouble finding ~ g ift for those people who have everything? How about his an~ her elephant-hide suitcases?

Real Cool Cat by Lynda Smith

Have you ever stopped to think About a man we all know? About the d ifferences he settles as the day rolls along. About the few he has to chastise, but the fewer he· sends home. About his busy schedule from the morn to the even ing Yet he always has the time to stop and bid us greetings You sometimes see him walking down the hall Upright and steadfast, Dark and tall. He looks just like a bad guy But that really isn't so He's about the best guy You may ever know. Only beneath that solemn face Beneath th1at sullen brow Take the time out to really tell him "Hi". Now stop and look him over. Go to his off ice for a chat, You'll f ind that Mr. Wagner ~s really a real cool cat.

Prisoners who have escaped from these camps have brought back reports of malnutrition and dysentary among the G.l.'s. Many of the men are held capt ive in pits in the ground covered by a roof, and are unable to tell night from day, autumn from spring, birthdays from Christmas. Others are kept in tiger cages made t>f baorriboo, and ·a re exposed to all the elements of weather. Still others live in solitary oonfinement in cement cells without windows.

Sulphur Grad Commends EI.TIBPBISE

The pi ight of these mene is not forgotten altogether by Ameri­cans. Negotiations in Par is have been held, and even buy ing the prisoners back with money, medi­cine, .and food has been attempt­ed. Most recently, a team of sold­iers was sent in secretly to make a rescue •attempt. It was tr ied, but to no avail.

The only alternative now is to try to convince the North V ietna­mese that these men are humans too 1and deserve to be treated that way . O ne way to do this is for all Amer icans to write the pres ident of North V ietnam and show that friends and loved ones want their men back.

To the Fiaculty, Administration, and Student Body of Captain Shreve High,

I send my condolences and congratvlat ions. I am a 1968 gradu­ate of Svlphur High, and while attending Friday's Quarterfinal game, it befell my place to be seated on the Captain Shreve side of Matt Walker S~ad ium . Though I cannot objectively compare all of you to Sulphur High, I can compare you to other sc.hools wh ich I have seen play.

The h igh quality of sportsmansh ip and the continual display of school spirit wh ich the Capta in Shreve players and fans presented were qu ite laudable. Even after what must surely have been a heart­breaking contest, fans ·and players al ike remained impeccably proud and mannerful.

Though the record books may not award the 1970 Capta in Shreve team with many laure.Js, in my own books the students and fans of Captain Shreve are truly champ ions, and like champions·, wi11 live to fight again another day in spirit and good will. For champons, crushed to earth, shall rise again. And so you shall.

Sincerely, Ol iver "Jackson" Schrumpf Junior Class Senator McNeese State Un iversity

Crook Sees Germany

by Abbie Levy Mrs. Joyce Crook, junior and

sen :or Eng lish teacher, changed her life style when she lived in Germany for three years.

The hot summer of 1967 is when Mrs. Crook packed up and said good-bye to her usual pat­tern of life . Mrs. Crook's husband, who was in the Air Force, had been transferred to Wiesbaden, Germany, where he would be sta­tioned.

It wasn't all work and no play for Mrs. Crook, who taught in a mil itary dependent junior high. Travel ing to ten different coun~ ~ries she saw many interesting sights . "Stimulating" described her travels •as well as all she saw and learned. See ing how people in other countries lived was very interesting to her. Out of all her travel ing, Greece was her favor­ite and most exciting place. Wh ile in Greece she went o na cruise around the Aegean Islands.

RICKY CHRISTAIN FINDS Miss Marie Rinaudo's suggestions helpful as he writes the first draft of an English research paper.

Customs Continue Jhrough Centuries Bavaria was her favorite part

of Germany because of the beau­tiful mounta ins. Comparing Ger­many and the United States, she stated that they were very much al ike except for the scenery. "City life Wlas better there," replied Mrs . Crook. "Downtown was still the center of town. Transportation was also excellent," she said.

"Christmas in Germany is only a little d ifferent f.rom a s~ates ide Christmas," she sa id . "The stories and downtown streets are decor­ated as usual. White is w idely used for decorat ions rather than a variety of colors. Many people st ill use white candles on their trees in the home. Goose is the standard menu instead of turkey. Christmas is more of •a family af­fair," she added.

"On Christmas Eve the family stays home together. The streets are deserted ~and traveling through the countrys ide on a Christmas Eve, one sees village af­ter village quiet and still, just as "Silent Night" implies, Mrs. Crook concluded.

Fling your old crockery against the door of your favorite friend like the Danish do on New Years Eve . They throw their cracked crockery and run, but not fair, for they want doughnuts. When New Year's morning comes, the most loved cit izen has a lot of broken pieces to pick up.

Supposedly, animals can speak on Christmas Eve in the German Alps. A servant.tested thii super­stition in a barn. He overheard one horse say, "The servant is heavy." "Yes," said another, "it is very steep up to the church: yard ." The servant was buried w ithin the week, a Wlarning to all who would dispute the super­stit ion. \

Some Irishmen believe the gates of Paradise are always open on Christmas Eve. Dying then, 1 would not enter Purgatory, but would go straight to his place of eternal rest.

Sulphur Ends Shreve's Hopes Since the school 's beg inn ing

and probably for a long time to come, Gaptain Shreve fans will never see a team as good as the 1970 edition.

Dur ing the 1970 year th.e Ga­tors made it to the state playoffs for only the second time. And to start the post season contests, Shrevers took on the Nevi lie Ti­gers, aga in. But the outcome was very much different this year.

Back in '68 the Neville Tigers didn't have to put up with the likes of Roland Harper and Jim­my Clayton, bl:Jt this year they did.

As Coach Charl ie Brown of Ne­ville put it, "We didn't p lay one of cur better games." wh ich is

usually the case when you lose, 27-0.

The scoring opened when HARPER swung out of the back­field and caught a CLAYTON pass for 58 yards. Next HARPER ran for a 6-yard TD. But did he stop here? He and CLAYTON teamed up again for a 63-Y'ard touchdown pass. To end it, CLAYTON dove over from the one to put and end to the Neville season.

So from here the m ighty Gators left the ol' home town, to travel down to Sulphur to play the Sul­phur Golden Tornadoes. The team, .along with countless others, checked in Lake ·Charles hotel rooms all over the city.

But as game time drew near, it was back to fingernail biting ·and nervous twitches as the game be­gan . Sulphur scored the f i r s t t ime they had the ball with quar­terback Lester Souchier and run­ning back Lee Duplaichan leading the way. When the Gators f i r s t got the ba II they scored a I so and it looked as if it were going to be a see-saw battle. As the Tor of­fense strengthened, the Gator defense suffered a brief second quarter lapse and the halftime score read Tors 21, Gators 14.

As the second half brought new hope for Gators, JIMMY CLAYTON .and BO HARRIS team-

ed up on a long pass play tor one score nad yes, ROLAND HARPER swept right end, broke through the Tor seconda ry and left behind a team of baff led defenders .as he crossed the goal line. An import­ant but overlooked factor was that DAVID ADAMS was good on all three extra points. In the final minutes a l1ast field goal try was wide to the right and the Tors took over with under two minutes left. 111' case of a tie in a state playoff game, a decision is rend­ered on first downs. The team with the most first downs is de­clared the winner, says the l:HSAA. The Tors evidently knew they had a lead in first downs . (22-15) as they ran out the clock to be·at the Gators.

So ended ·a glorious seasor:~ for the Gators, but the players would have liked to have seen the game go into over time. After all, the only reason the Gators had only 15 first downs was that t he i F

~coring plays were jaunts of 65 yards (6 . first downs), about 25 yards (2 first downs) and about 30 yards (3 first downs). T he Gator basketball team went into overtime against the basketball Tors and demolished them. Won­der what would have happened if the football Tors and Gators had had another few minutes?

Golden Gators Do Their Thing Golden Ga to rs are once again

do ing their thing and the thing they're doing is winning basket­ball games.

The Gators have begun the ir season on a winning note as they have run their record to 4-0. Last year's state runners-up were only 3-1 at a comparable point in the se.ason.

The Shrevemen opened in Haughton against the 1always tough Ruston Bearcats. The game began tightly as the Gators led by only two at the half . But num­erous turnovers in the second half he I ped the Golden ~ive to stretch their lead as they won 67-56 beh ind Tommy McGuire's 18 points and Tommy Grubb's 16.

T h e S h r e v e r s returned to Haughton November 21 to take on the Buccaneers. Haughton led at the half 24-20, but the Gators came back strong beh ind Grubb's 17 points and sophomore Johnny White's eight rebounds to surge on to a 58-47 v ictory.

November 24 marked the Ga­tors first time appearance w i t h the speedy Bastrop Rams as foes . Once again the home team found themselves beh ind at the half. This time by three points. Gators had 1a big third quarter outscoring Bastrop 21-11 and they held back a Ram drive to win the g a me, 68-60.

Gators took to the home arena November 27 for a tilt aga inst the bigger Sulphur Tornadoes. The game was a heart-stopper with the outcome very much in doubt until the final buzzer.

Shreve led at the half 34-30, but by the end of third quarter Sulphur h·a d closed the gap to one point. The fourth quarter was wild and woolly, and when the horn sounded and the smoke cleared, the score was t ied 63-al l.

Once more the Gator d efense turned the trick with 5-7. Woody

All-American Charles MindEr Takes Over As Boys' Coach

By JoAnn Landers

Captain Shreve has a substitute der will leave to go into the Navy coach . He was an All-Amer ica n as a pi·lot. swimmer for three years and placed 11th in the Olympic Trials in New York when he was 15 ye,ars old. His name is Charles Minder.

Cbach Minder has traveled ex­tensively with the U. S. Swim­ming Team, going to such places as Dartmouth, Indiana, Salt Lake City, University of Michiga n .and Israel.

•Before attend ing S.M. U. where he majored in psychology, Coach Minder attended B y r d High School , where he was a s t a t e championsh ip swimmer during his senior ye•ar.

Resting e·asily in his chair, his eyes twinkl ing, he d isplayed a ready smile as he recounted his most embarrassing moment. It seems that Coach Minder was resting between preliminaries at a swimming meet, when the final event was called. He was resting so comfortably that he fiailed. to hear his name called a-nd missed participating in the entire event.

Another embarrass ing moment occurred during this interview when Mrs . Mabel Walker, coun­selor, walked determinedly over to the lounging Coach Minder, un­aware that he was a coach, and asked him .in what class was he supposed to be!

Coach Minder is currently tak­ing Coach Mike Nash's place for six weeks. In March, Coach Min-

'70 Gators Rei_gn Supreme by David Williams

First we' re to be crowned 1-AAAA king, undefeated in dis­trict competit ion, and the b e s t football team for miles •and miles around; these ;3 re but a few of

: many goals reached b y the Gator football team this season.

It all started back in September when the inexperienced Gators

• went to Monroe to take on the Neville Tigers. This was to be the first start ever for quarterback Jimmy Clayton. Facing a 16..0 halftime deficit, the Gators came back to make it 16-14 but fell short and that was to be the only loss of the season.

Next the Ruston Bearcats came to Shreve Stadium with llhe in­tentions of winning but the Ga­tors came back w ith a Clayton-to· Harris pass to tie the score. Then

David Adams kicked the decisive ~xtra ' po i nt to knotch the first win for the 1970 Gators. Oayton later said that the Ruston game "turned the whole season around for me."

After this, victories over Book· er T. Washington, 41-16; Airline, 28-12; LeGrange, 16-0; Fair Park, 42-7; Southwood, 42-0; Linear, 55-8; Byrd, 34-0, and Woodlawn, 20-13, were recorded as the Ga· tors were 'left at the top of 1· AAAA as undisputed and unde· feated district champs.

But after a state playoff opet'l· ing game win over Neville, Ga­tors dropped to Sulphur on first downs as the score was tied at 21-21.

As for the Gators now, they can look back on the best football season in the school's history and think of how they ripped their way through the regular season.

Interact Takes Win Over Leo Interact and Leo, two CS serv­

ice clubs, met for the ir f irst an-• nUia·l football game. It was a hard

fought, see-saw battle at Hrst, but in ~he second half, Interact surged

~ ahead to take a 27-18 victory over Leo.

The game started out with Leo jumping off to an. early 12-0 lead on touchdowns by Mike Mori~ and Steve Crowder. Then Inter­act came back with a David Hamm to Oavid Williams touchdown pass to make it 12-6. After a l?at Mason touchdown, Interact came back from ar. 18-6 defic it on touchdowns oby Rand y Lyle and Bill Lynn to tie it up, 18-18. When the extr.a point was tr ied, Craig Sull ivan lined up to kick the po int after touchdown as Williams held. Will i•ams tossed the snap from cenrer up to Sull ivan who threw three yards to sophomore Gordy

• Lindel·l for two to make it 20-18, Interact. The Rotary Club, Inter­act, scored aga ir. on a 44-yard touchdown pass from Sullivan to

revenge when they meet lnter·a't again in a basketbal•l game to which the date will be announced later.

Moore Heads '71 Track Team

'Invitational cross coun.try track opened last month when. Randy Moore took f irst place in a two­mile {)ross country meet against Fair Park High School. Captain Shreve is expecting to w in· the district title for the third consecu­tive year. The program is under the guidance of Tommy Powell and h is assistant Coach Conway. Sprinter Ezel·l Bell is expected to run ·in the nines for the 100 yard dash this season. Gators •re-open Friday afternoon w ith a d istrict meet in cross country competi­t ion . Ind ividual trophies for first, second, 1and third places will be given to the winners.

WORLD

The following are a few statistics of note that show the power of the Gators this year.

l. Total Points- Gators-361, Opponents-113.

2. The Gators on the average outscored the opponents 30.1 to 9 .4.

3. The most points against the Gators all season w.as 21 in the final game, and even then the Ga­tors matched it.

4. During the year the Gators posted four shut-out wins.

This is the end of •a football ca­reer, thus far, as many seniors have played in their - last game. But others have still fur~her foot­pall ventures apeaq of them. Bo Harris seems to be the most sought after prep footballer in the state as he· has received let­ters from colleges such as Texas and Darrell Royal, Ole Miss, LSU,

Quarterback Jimmv Clayton has signed to play with LSU.

Other sure shots for college are running backs Mike Mark and Ro· land Harper and possible those such as David Duncan, Frank Mul· key, John Frierson, and C r a i g Spring meyer.

It's true that the 1971 seniors w:ho helped make the 1970 foot­baii'Gators go, will be spread all across the nation. But no matter what, they w ill remember and be remembered by those at the school and the .average person who reads a sports page. For those who don't play in college, they too will be spread ·about, but they can. all look back together at the year 1970 and remember t~~ days of such things as green and gold, Bi lly Jack Talton, off season

workouts, August workouts, pain, happiness, and the-ma·n who led them through it all, Coach Lee Yedges.

The true spirit of the Captain Shreve Gators will always llv.e in their hearts and minds, and a spe­cific date tha t brings back re· minders of a night down in Sul­phur, Louisiana, where there truly might have been a few changes for the better. But always, the school w i II be a tradition of a powerhouse football team and the 1971 graduates can say that they were a part of it. And as the song says it best, "A time to live, a time to die, a time to laugh, a time to cry" but all these are the feelings of the Seniors of '71 as the best song puts it, be_ a football or anything, "Our thoughts will often take years back, to days at Captain Shreve."

Counselor Sets 1 est Dates, Gives Opinion on fashions

Mrs. Ruby Powell, junior coun­selor, has announced that all jun­iors planning to attend Louisi•ana Teoh after graduation must take the ACT test before July.

"Since Louisiana Tech an­nounces their scholarship students in the fall rather than in the spring, test scores must be sent in as soon as they are received," said Mrs. Powell.

Test dates for the ACT are February 20, 1971 ; April 24, 1971; and July 17, 1971. Regis­tration dates are November 23, 1970; January 18, 1971; Febru­ary 1, 1971; March 22, 1971; April S, 1971, and June 14, 1971.

"A new aid for students in the guidance department is the Ad­mission Search Kit. ASK is a new instrument for h i g h school .stu­dents which gives up-to-date in­formation on colleges and college admissions. ASK was compiled by the Association of College Admis­sions Counselors," said Mrs. Powell.

Information in ASK was obtain­ed directly from colleges in the United States and its territories. Students may use the kit in he guidance room with the ·aid of their counse lor.

Included in the ki·t is an alpha­betical index of all colleges, fact s'heets, listings of admission re­qu irements and policies, cost per academic year, academic offer­ings, and similar basic in forma­tion .

Upon being asked what she thought about the gener·ation gap, Mrs. Powell answered, " Is there really one? I don't think there's one."

Mrs. Powell was an. 8th grade language arts and social studies teacher at Carv.er after receiving her elementary teach ing degree and her speech and drama de­grees from Gr·ambling College.

Realizing she was spending so much time in her classroom d is­cuSsing attitudes il'nd reactions,

Mrs. Powel•l began to think of be­coming a counselor. After going back to college and obtaining an M. Ed. Degree, she became coun­selor at George Washington Car­ver and later at Eden Gardens High. .

On pant suits, Mrs. Powell com­ments, throwing ·a smile as warm as ~he smart red tailored suit she was wearing, "Pant suits bought as a suit look very nice, on some young ladies."

Asked about fashion during her teen-years she rep! ied, ~'I wore 'a can-can unti•l I was married ."

Concerning students at Captain Shreve, "I think that over·all Cap­tain Shreve has some well round­ed students. Some of the best that can be found in Shreveport and some of the most talented," she concluded.

Mod Mistletoe Myth Seen by Judy FrankHn

At Christmas why do people kiss under the mistletoe? There are many theories for this custom.

One theory cred its the Scand in­avians with or iginating the prac­tice thousands of years ago. They believed the mistJ.etoe h3d sup­ernatural powers and hung it above their heads in doorway?, so when passing beneath it men and women kissed one another to ~how love -and peace in their homes.

Another theory is traced to a Norse saga in wh ich a handsome god was s•lain by ·a mistletoe spear. The other gods, after bring­ing him back to life, proclaimed the mistletoe able to br ing the people only peace and happiness In the fu~ure.

Still yet another theory is that some early Christian monks be­lieved that the mistletoe plan used to be a large tree, but when its wood was used to make the

cross that Jesus d ied on, it shriveled up in shame. The monks called the m istletoe "wood of the cross" and wore mistletoe chanms to protect them from harm.

Today, in some countries, peo­ple keep mistletoe in their homes all year long for protection against danger.
