3. One hundred per cent member-
ship in the Alumni Association by
graduates.
OUR SCHOOL
As the end of the college year
ccmes nearer, many of us begin to
realize the achievements and happi-
ness of this year’s work and to see
again the advantages of a college
such as ours—a college of which we
are proud to be students, a college
where the records run higher than
those of most colleges or universities
cf any class.
Let us look backward for a mo-
ment at some of this year’s victories

Our intercollegiate debates were
such a short time ago that there is
little need to recall the Normal-spirit
on that memorable night when Mc-
Donald and Ivey turned the Denton
score in our favor with a decision of
3-0, or to remember the spirit with
which Stroman and Hays were re-
ceived on their return from Com-
merce.
PIERANS BREAKFAST AT
RIVERSIDE
When you awoke last Monday
morning to a fairly goodsized drizzle
aid you remember the Pierian break-
fast at Riverside? No doubt you
thought that even the Pierian would
be daunted, but they not fearing that
the rain would shrink their bathing
suits were there promptly on time
and enjoyed a mighty good swim be-
fore breakfast. And that breakfast!
Sunrise breakfasts have always held
something alluring for the Pierians,
but after that swim, •‘alluring” did-
n’t speak loudly enough. We have to
admit that even if the boys could eat
more than the girls, so could they
swim better. For some reason no
one seemed to notice what the other
fellow was eating about that time,
tho Mr. and Mrs. Goodman as cha-
perones voted that it was the joiliest
and most informal affair of the sea-
son.
HOME ECONOMICS NEWS
Since teachers of home economics
in vocational high schools are here-
after required to have degrees, the
Home Economics Department of this
college is offering next year a large
number of advanced courses than it
is offering this year.
All jof the regular courses are to
be offered during the coming sum-
mer session, so that students spe-
cializing in home economics may be
able to get any required course.
In addition to the courses offered
for home economics students, there
are four elective courses designed to
meet the needs of persons who have
a limited time, and yet desire to
learn a few fundamental principles
regarding clothing construction, plan-
ning and serving meals, etc.
Miss Thompson, head of the De-
partment, is at present attending the
region meeting of Vocational H. E.
in Chicago.
And let us look over our scholastic
standing—.12x4 per cent of the stu-
dent body were honor students during
the fall term. The percentage for
the winter term ran higher amount-
ing to 17 V2 per cent. This in itself
is a record with which not many
schools can compete.
Taken all in all, the various activi-
ties of our college have been peculiar-
ly successful during the past year.
There are various reasons why this
should be so, but perhaps the most
important of these is that there was
room in the classroom, on the grid-
iron, and diamond for the individual.
There is perhaps a certain standing
that comes from graduating from a
large university, but how about the
individual coming from such a school?
Actual proof of this advantage in a
medium sized school is apparent in
the fact that a large majority of the
great men of today -and of times past
have been graduates of small col-
leges, where there was room for the
individual to find himself.
INTERCOLLEGIATE NOTES
TEXAS A. & M.
The Battalion of last week was
published by the Sophomores. It was
a classy edition. C. I. A. was repre-
sented with many things of wit and
humor.
Soon there is a new publication
similiar to the Battalion to be put out
by the Ex-Student Association, which
shall be sent out to every “old timer.”
Bill Cook of ’20 is to be the editor.

AUSTIN COLLEGE
The Kangaroo this week was pub-
lished by the Freshman class with
Jack Storey as Editor-in-Chief. It
was a classy edition. And could we
expect any other since Jack is an old
“Normalite.”

NEWS FROM THE KINDER-
GARTNERS
Watch for the date of the Kinder-
garten-Primary May Festival. You
will want to see it, as it will repre-
sent the culmination of our course in
Rythmis plays and games for the
year. There will be a parade led bv
the herald; there will be flower girls,
and a May Queen, of course, with
many followers in dainty costumes.
From her throne the Queen will view
such dances as “Oats, Pease, Beans,
and Barley < row,” “The Swiss May
Dance,” and “Seven Pretty Maidens”
by the first and second grade chil-
dren. The Kindergarten children will
give a pantomine performance of
“The Sleeping Beauty,” set to music,
and a May dance. The most spec-
tacular part of the program will be
the winding up of the two Maypoles.
The colors used in the latter will be
green and white for the primary chil-
dren and pink and white for the
Kindergarten children. The festival
will take place in the Fish Hatchery
late in May.
The class in Kindergarten Ed. 220
are to spend Monday in Austin with
Miss Christianson visiting public
school Kindergartens.
