T. W. C. Claims
Txwoco State Basket-Bail
Championship
Southwestern is Defeated
Texas Woman's College played
Southwestern on her own court Feb.
22. Our team easily won the game,
playing it through without a hitch.
Nearly every pass went to the exact
player for whom it was intended.
The K^ectators witnessed the pret-
tiest team work that the T. W. <J
six have ever displayed on the col-
lege gym floor. Mr. Montgomery of
S. M. U. refereed the game.
Every girl played a good game.
The guards made especially accurate
passes, keeping the ball out of S. U.'s
territory. The forwards made some
sensational goal tosses from every
angle. The centers, as usual, workeiT
together with unfailing precision and
swiftness from the start to the end
of the game.
Although the visiting team played
the game under disadvantages, each
member of it did some good playing.
Two of their best forwards, who were
hurt in the game with St. Mary's on
Tuesday, were not able to play. The
S. U. team has an idea that it can
beat our team at Georgetown. We
are perfectly willing to give it the
opportunity, but we know that a dis-
appointmant awaits it if we go.
The game was divided into three
parts of ten minutes each. The score
at the end of the different thirds were
7-3, 19-3, 30-0, in favor of T. W. C.
each time. Many fouls were made
but few, if any, bad plays. Four of
S, U.'s scores were made by foul
throws. They made only one field
throw.
The Southwestern girls have the
ideal college spirit, no grumbling, no
fussing, and no excuses. The defeat
was taken in the same spirit in which
a victory would have been taken. The
T. W. C irirls etjioved the trame and
wish that there were more sports of
the Southwestern type.
The lineup:
S. U.—rBareus and Heslet. forwards;
Green and Helscher, center*; Law-
rence and Hubbard, guards.
T. W. C.—Sturgess and Williamson,
forwards; Cowling and Herron, cen-
ters; Doty and Davis, guards.

Seniors Brought
to Light
We never spoke before- today,
Though the Senior class are we,
But What we've saved to say
In these following lines you will
see:
The students of T. W. C. have only
recently realized that they have in
their midst a real live Senior class,
and we hope to impress it on their
minds more strongly as thle term ,
passes. We have existed very quietly
before, due to our heavy work, and
to the timidty of asserting ourselves,
as Seniors—sure to us it is an en-
tirely new sensation.
In the beginning of the fall term we
were entertained by one of our mem-
bers, Miss Swagerty, with a box party
at Bvers Opera House. This was en-
thusiastically attended, and enjoyed
by each Senior present. But books,
books, books soon called us from our
play. And after class oganization
there was nothing out of the ordinary
until the arrival of our Senior rings.
The enormity oi the rings attracted
much attention, on the outside. Other-
wise the class has been very quiet and
secluded.
We were first made to realize our
rightful place only after the bridges
of first term excuses wereburr.ed be-
hind us, and on the morning of Feb.
!)th, the Dean saw fit to distinguish
and increase the dignity of the Sen-
iors by assigning to us a separate
section on the east side of chapel, j
Since, the class has had several en-
thusiastic meetings one of which, in
the past week, lasted three hours.
Many plans for the future were made.
The class colors chosen are—apple j
green, shell pink, and silver gray,
these, we hope the students will have
opportunity to become perfectly fa-
miliar with from timp to time.
We eagerly looked forward to the
occasion of that Tuesday, morning,
in which our Vice-Pres. Rev. J. D.
Young, and our Deans Messrs. Jenn-
ings and Venth, deeming us worthy
to be called Seniors presented formal-
ly to us at the chapel exercises, our
caps and gowns; the black caps and
gowns to the Seniors of the College
of Literary Arts and the white ones,
to the Seniors of the College of Fine
Arts.
This occasion was a very impres-
sive and suggestive announcement of
ou?- Class Day, March 2.
Arou.se, Oh! Ye Juniors, Soph*?,
and Fish for we hear you at your
play; And this is only to remind you
that "every dog has his day."
We are going to make this one of
the most interesting affairs of
the year. It is to be the dawn of a
new era for the classes of Texas
Woman's College. Let every student |
of the college be present. Bring all j
your friends and loved ones. It will ;
be a day long to be remembered and j
never to be forgotten.
T. W. C. Holds Everybody Loves
Open House a Baby
St. Valentine's eve has been estab-
lished by custom as the date for the
annual student body Open House. The
parlors and dining room of Ann Wag-
gone;' Hall were artistically decorated
with red and white hearts and valen-
tines. Palms and vines lent a sylvan
atmosphere to the occasion. Promptly
at the appointed hour, the guests be-
gan to arrive. Soon the parlor% were
crowded with young men from the city
and teighboring towns. The hostesses
wer' very attractive, being "blest
witl that charm, the certainty to
please." An air of pleasant gaiety
prevailed throughout the evening.
Every one enjoyed the music;)] num-
ber. rendered by the quartern? anil
the orchestra. Ice cream hearts and
cakes were served. Two wee young
ladies favored all by sticking small
red hearts on their cheeks. After
this, the guests departed and the lost
and broken hearts were picked up.

lighted by the Euterpean Club open

On last JVIonday evening, the Ex-
pression Seniors entertained the other
classes at the Expression Studio with
a Baby party. The charming little
hostesses and their guests were at-
I tired in childish frocks, socks, am!
curly hair. College dignity was cast
aside for the childish games. If ore
might have passed the studio, he
would have heard a continuous bab-
ble of baby-tali,, and at t me- fusses
seemed unavoidable between two of
the boys over their favored ladies,
Various games were instituted by the
small hostess, such as "We're march-
; ing 'round the levee," and "The Farm-
| er in the Dell" while little Jack Dillow
persisted in playing "Catch." At an
| early hour, refreshments of suckers
and soda-pop were distributed 1»v the
little Misses Marguerite Smith and
Mabel Strickland.
As soon as the excitement of get
ting "sompin' (,' 'eat" was over, the
children once more assumed their dig-
nity and organized themselves into a
Dramatic Club. Mary Johnson was
; elected president; Frances Marsehman
j vice president; Ida Roberts, secretary
j and treasurer; and Helen Hines, press
! reporter.

Who said the Freshmen do not
patronize the "Handout?" Of course
they do, they anxiously await its ap-
pearance. The Freshmen's motto
is "Handouts," for tiiev are always
getting handouts.
And some people think the Fresh-
men are so poor, why, any member of
the faculty will stand by this state-
ment; the Freshman class buys, pos-
sesses, owns and chews more gum
than any other class in school and if
you will notice you will see that they
carry the largest packages of lunch
and also the greatest number of
books. I tell you the Freshmen are a
wealthy class.
With games both original and daring,
For the Field Day we are preparing.
Now we practice all day,
Or whenever we may,
For no one can win without working.

Prize Story—
The Romance of
Lydick Wilson
It was a bleak December day, just
the kind of day when one likes to don
a fur coat, a cap, and a heavy pair of
shoes and enter into the fun outside.
From the appearance of the city of
Ravensdale where it had been snowing
twenty-four hours, the whole earth
seemed clad in a blanket of snow.
Happiness reigned supreme. But
should one enter the stately home of
the Wilson's just across from High-
land Park, he would find a very dif-
ferent atmosphere. Lydick, the only
son, had become suddenly ill. The
physician,, after an examination, an-
nounced that the attack was appendici-
tis and an operation was unavoidable.
The father was grave, the mother
had a worried look, and the sister
seemed anxious and excited. Lydick
lifted his eyes with a questioning look
as his father suggested an ambu.lar.ee.
A frown flitted across his face but he
remembered the physician's words
and remained silent.
In a short titn he had reached the
sanitarium and was being carried in-
to the operating room. A pretty blue
eyed nurse was goo,, looking down
smilingly into his face, showing her
'dimples. I.vdick \\;:n so fund of the
opposite sex that even the fear of
the operation faded into the back-
ground and he thought of the days to
follow as pleasant rather than ire-
some. With these thoughts h< r -
ceived the last of the anesthetic and
the surgeon bega • his tedious but
accurate work. Lydick did r.nt know
ihat his attractive nurse wa< the sul-
gcon's wife. Before marriage she-
had encouraged flirtations with the
patients even though she knew they
would forget her after health had
been restored. Experience bad taught
her that when a man is helpless or
thinks himself dangerously ill, he is
inclined to love a woman who patient
lv nurses . through illness. Before
meeting tb surgoo'o "Miss wimpie.-,
as she wit called,) had pften said in
jest, that she would marry the i:e>-'
promising young r.<tn who propos* •!
to her. before he had a chance tr. re-
cover.
On the dav '■(' Lydick's arrival, a
college girl, Dorothea Farrar, had
been rushed to the sanitarium and
operated on before a telegram reach-
ed her mother, in the East. One morn-
ing "Miss Dimples" told Lydick of
the college girl a d teasinglv said
she was going to guard his door to
prevent his calling on her. As he
had already learned that she was the
surgeon's wife he laughingly said:
"I probablv could have called on Miss
Farrar had not the surgeon butch-
ered me unmercifully. However, I'm
glad to know a young feminine rooms
near trie." He thought, she must he
lonely many miles from home.
That day he received several boxes
of (lowers and asked that some lie
taken to Dorothea, He said. "The col-
ors vary too widely and they might
brighten her room." He pointed to
the beautiful yellow chrysanthemums
in a tall vase and the ■ urse quietly
left the room with them. Presently
she returned with a note attractively
written on pink stationery, delicately
perfumed. Thus a correspondence
began between the patie ts.
Lydick became extrem ly interest-
eel in Dorothea. He wondered what
she was like, half afraid to know for
j fear she were homely, but continued
1 sending her his choicest flowers and
.smiling over her clever notes of
1 fha :ks.
! • , .
One a J ternoon his sister came
j tit see him. As she had sent
j him that morning, a large bunch
; of violets, his favorite flower,
j she looked for them to see if they
had been artisticallv arranged. Ly-
dick. realising the purpose of her
search, said: "The violets were pretty,
sis. but 1 sent them to a girl who is
so far from home her people are un-
able to send her flowers." The he
told of his love a flair with the girl
whom he hail never seen. He -aw
that she was interested even though
her face showed path when she failed
• to r.ee violets that he did not
seem to appreciate. She expressed
a desire to see the girl before pur-
chasing more flowers. Lydick was
;ery aft\
of a huge joke, but dared not refuse.
He hastily wrote a note to Dorothea
sayi'ng that his sister wished to call
on her. In a few moments she was
