quick frozen grapefruit sections that defrost quickly into
firm fresh fruit. Previous attempts to freeze whole citrus
have always failed because tiny cells ruptured and de
frosted fruit was mushy. The new method is expected to
eventually supplant the time honored method of marketing
citrus in its own skin. (AP Photo)
C.H.S. Students Receive
Honor Scholastic Awards
Thirty-two students of A&M
Consolidated High School have re
ceived certificates for outstanding
achievements on the National Edu

United States.
The sophomores all plan to at
tend college. Ten of the students
plan to attend A&M.
Several of them want to £o to
a technical school such as Rice.
Johnny Badgett, whose score was
in the top 99 percentile, wants to
study math at a technical school.
Of the girls, most want to study
liberal arts at one of the state
schools. Representative is Sherry
The Detroit Tigers went the first
37 days of the 1961 season without
suffering a shutout. Then Gene
Conley of the Boston Red Sox
blanked them 1-0.
Is this the only reason for
using Mennen Skin BracerP
Skin Bracer’s rugged, long-lasting aroma is an ob
vious attribute. But is it everything?
After all, Menthol-Iced Skin Bracer is the after-shave
lotion that cools rather than burns. It helps heal
shaving nicks and scrapes. Helps prevent blemishes.
Conditions your skin.
Aren't these sound, scientific virtues more important
than the purely emotional effect Skin Bracer has on
women? In that case, buy a bottle. And —have fun:
