WYLIE
NEWS and VIEWS from HERE
and THERE: Say a work of
thanks to Election Judge A. D.
(Buck) Boyd and his loyal band
of helpers who worked so dili-
gently last week to sec that
things ran smoothly at the polls.
Incidentally, this group did not
finish their work until 11 o'clock
at night, which shows that hold-
ing elections are hard work. . . .
And all this reminds us again
that Wylle needs two voting
boxes, a point which has been
made before to the County Com-
missioners' Court. What actually
needs to be done is a complete re-
alignment of voting boxes in the
county, eliminating some and con-
solidating them with other boxes.
Under the present setup we have
me boxes which have only a
nandful of votes, compared with
other growing situations which
now are terribly overcrowded on
election days. Maybe some action
will be forthcoming on this point
before another statewide election
rolls around Congratulate
Coaches Maynard. West and Lay
and all their boys for the fine
showing of the Pirates last Fri-
day night against Frisco. Even in
defeat the local lads played their
finest game of the year, holding
the favored Coons to a 14-12 half-
time lead before their shortage
of manpower caught up with them
in the last quarter of the game
Always Wylie has played one of
Its best games of the season
against Frisco, and this year's
fracas was no exception
If the Pirates can defeat Prince-
ton here this Friday ni«ht in the
season's finale they will end the
year in conference play with a
two-and-two record, which is com-
mendable when compared to re-
cent team records . . Mention
a fine early morning drive to
Tyler last Friday. Deep East
Texas always presents a beauti-
ful panorama at this season of
the year Typical Fall
weather of the past few days,
following the season's first frost,
has brough wonderful living to
those who enjoy this time of the
year as their favorite ...
Congratulate the Wylie Lions
Club on signing up a number of
new members on their October
new membership drive Several
fellows have been added to the
roster and are expected to add
materially to the effectiveness of
the local civic organization. . .

group of students and fans gather around the huge
bonfire, pictured above, last Thursday night on the
school campus prior to Friday night's game with the
Frisco Coons. The giant pep rally followed a down-
low n parade complete with gaily decorated floats and
the high-stepping Pirate hand. School spirit was high
for the paradt and bonfire, but was slightly dampen-
ed the next night whtin Frisco outscored the Pirates
by 30-12. However, the local lads gave a good account
of themselves to the extent that the Iwmfire. parade
and rally will no doubt be on the schedule for next
season. (Photo by Howard McMillan).
