You think you're big stuff, don't you? Now that you've got your rings no one can tell you any- thing you don't a Ire a d y know. You've developed a fake swagger, a ridiculous feeling of superiority, and a peculiar habit of looking at ring fingers. Actually, some vicious senior spread the rumor that this year's rings were hypnotic and you were all under their in- fluance. (Gan you imagine anyone saying a thing like that?) Maybe you're hobbits and your rings are magic. You know what you have to do if thaJt's the case, don't you? You must return the rings to the Mountain of Fire in Mordor, for in the end they will corrupt anyone who uses them. You could be right. It's probably too late already. Well, since you've got all this power, why not use it? Plan ahead and make your class the best senior class ever. Of course, you've known you're the best all along, but see if you can convince everyone else. Yes, that's a dare, but yoU have to admit you asked for it. You and your silly rings. Next thing you know you'll be wanting to make your school 'the best in the district. And then the best in the state. Th€!n the nation. Then the world. Then the universe.... And it all startd with a ring. 1t 1411-'t ?~ ;It ;1ft Isn't it funny? (The kind of funny that means peculiar.) The high school students were more interested than ever before in ,the school board election. 'Passing out bumper stickers, wearing them on shirts-well, these fads certain1ly seem new at Consolidated. The students weren't the only ones who were interested. The par- ents of students, the voters, were concerned, too. Probably they were thinking about it long before ,the students were. Maybe that Educa- tion Week issue of the Paper Tiger caught their atteIlltion. It did have an article about the election squeezed in between the junior high news. Well, whatever it was, it was all quite contagious. Someone must have remembered to pass out the nets this years, so that everyone could catch it. Why shouldn't people be interested? It's not really funny at all; it's kind of nice. Thank you, people.

PAPER TIGER German Students To Attend TAGS' Week-end of 7-8 Twenty - five German students from CHS are going to the Texas Association of German Students Convention in San Marcos, April 7 and 8. The TAGS meeting is held an- nually at a college or university. Students from allover Texas go in order to meet other German students and learn more about German culture. Friday night" a dance and ban- quet will be held. Am day Satur- day will be devtoed to several German plays put on by high schools and universities, including Texas A&M. The week end's fes- tivities will be concluded with a picnic Saturday afternoon. The Consolidated students will leave Friday at noon in a school bus. They will stay overnight and corne back Saturday afternoon. Guinea Pigs Cut Class Cramming, Score~ attend class and will take another quiz over the chapter after the material is covered. Their scores on the pre - t est will not be recorded.

While the experiment lasts, stu- dents in Mr. Dawdy's classes will be "cutting class" and going to library It<> read. That sounds like a familiar ex- periment that students ave been trying for years, but there's a catch to it. "Just anyone" is not allowed to "cut" class. Before each chapter, Mr. Dawdy will..: give a pre-test. Anyone who makes ninty or above on the quiz can go to the library and read extra material about geography instead. (There's the catch!) A person making runty on the pre- test wll get a ninty-six for a chapter grade.

Powell, An Exception To The Rule, Grows Bacteria For Houston Fair Most of us who 1). a ve ever somewhat successfuNy completed a Science Fair projeClt remember the event with mixed emotions. However, a senSe of pride is often overshadowed by a feeling of immense relief and joy that the task has been accomplished and the demands of the Science instructor have been met. Few wish to repeat the performance. Wayne Powell, a junior, is an exception to this rule. His interest in biology has led him to rep- resent Consolidated in The Great- er Houston Science Fair two years in a row. This year he was chosen from foi1ty contestants as a final- ist. Wayne's undertaking was to grow and test serra tie marcescens bacteria, a red, rod - s hap e d organism. "The baClteria were grown on a media pilate at diffe rent temperatures," e x p I a i n e d Wayne. Some cultures of the bacteria / were exposed to ultraviolet light. The pigment was then separated from the serratie marcescens and tested by running a chromatogram. The pigmenrt is separated i n t 0 purple and red. If the bacteria has been exposed to ultraviolet rays, and orange hue is also pre- sent, proving that a mutation was formed. BACK THE TIGERS!

The Bengals put the Caldwell Hornets down for the count in a 9"{) rout. The game was not without its first as Jan (Geek) Dozier made hs debut on ,the mound and pitched a three hit shoutout. Until the bottom of the fourth inning the contest was relatively tight with the T,igers in the lead by a 2-0 count. Beginning with the fourth stanza, though, the darn b r 0 k e and Caldwell was drowned in a flood of runs. The Bengals carne up with two runs on three hits in the fourth in- ning, three runs on two hits in the fifth inning, and three runs on two hi'ts in the sixth inning. In the consolation round sopho- more, pitching ace Rob Sehleider picked up his first mound triumph as the Tigers clipped the Hearne Eagles 5-4 in an eight inning contest Saturday afternoon.

Thursday, April 13, 1967 PAPER TIGER Mechanical Drawing Class Designs Vacation Cottages If you were asked to draw the plan of your ideal vacation house or mounltan cottage what would be the result? The students of the Mechanical Drawing classes are finding out. Before any off the actual draw- ing was done the students learned that a house is divided into three major sections; the living area,the sleeping area, and the working area. In their planning they had to be carefu1 how they arranged the rooms, for instance by not putting a noisy area next to the sleeping area. It was suggested that the students confine their dreams to a living room, a dining room, one or two bedrooms, and a study or game room, but those with wilder imaginations were not discouraged. The students started by making a personal data docket which is a list of personal needs. The rea- son for the docket is to help the stuent get an idea of how much practice space would be needed. F'or instance, one of the students 8th Grade, Guests At FHA's Party by FRAN HAUGEN The FHA held a tea for- the eighth grade girls last Thursday afternoon, April 6 in the home- making lab. The purpOSe of the tea was to show the junior high girls just what is done in home- making and to celebrate FHA week. A tour was conducted of the foods and clothing sections of the Homemaking Lab. Refreshments were served, and the guests were given headbands made by the Homemaking II class. Some girls from Homemaking II also modeled their own sewing creations, demonstrated m a kin g buttonholes, putting in a zipper by hand, and sewing a tent dress. Denise Smith, explained the home experience project. BAKE SALE Del' Deutsch Klub is having a bake sale today in Herr Schmidt's room, 401, and in the snack bar during fourth and fifth periods.

Or if a student planned a family he also had to consider their needs in his docket. Next the students drew a rough sketch of the room ,layout which was followed by a floor plan. They turned to the outside to determine plot, which means, in simple lan- guage, ~andscaping. The teachers of the two classes are Mr. Dennis Nystrum and Mr. Edsel Jones. Mr. Nystrum, one of two drawing teachers, says that the purpose of the Mechanical Drawing Course is to teach the students a basic understanding of industria,l design. (editor's note: F100r plans are on d i s pIa y in the Mechanical drawing room for those interested in seeing them.) , Page 3 ! A sure sign that summer has arrived is when students shed their shoes and let their feet "go raw." Sandals this year range from "cut out flats" to just a couple of straps. Thongs are as popular as ever, but girls also favor rope, tie-on "surfers." Can you guess the owners of these? :~ Recent Survey At CHS Illustrates Liderature is Favored By Students by LEE ANNE DARROCH In a recent survay conducted at hi-skool, it was found that lider- ature is the won part of the en- glish cirrculum that the students enjoy.

One is that they can study drama, witch is a part of liderater, in either the classroom or the audi- toram. There idea of variety is fund here. Also, students indicted that they can study in the libary when they undertake the study 'Jf novals in they're lidereter unit. A second reason for the student's favoring lidetature is that they find it easier to prepair for coU- age by studying this area off english. This is backed by this quote from the senor english tee- chef;" "I din't want to teach gram- mer becuz I feel Iiderature tee- ches so much more about peopul and life, and this is needed to prepare for collage." In a second group of stastics, it was ditermine that grammer is favored by a minority of stu- dents. There opinion is maid from the fact thalt lideratur and it's study is religional or regionall and should not be taut since it is too varied. This is supported by these statemints by hi-skool stu- dants. "For me its e a s i e l' to study grammer at nilte than lider- atur becuz I all ways fall asleep reading those stupid stories." ~~ -) , ~ CALDWELL I Earrinis - Charm. ~ Jewelry ~ 115 North Main t \ VISIT US SOON!
