TWO BIG GAMES ON HOME FLOOR
SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY
TO BE ESTABLISHED
debate work
is begun
The Intercollegiate Triange Debate
is the Big Thing before us now. Wed-
nesday morning in chapel, Marion
McCaslin presented to the student
body the question of whether or not
we are going to go in and win or not.
Every girl in T. W. C. is responsible
for the success of the teams.
It all depends on our enthusiasm
and loyalty. As Miss McCaslin stated
it is not necessary for every girl to be
in the Debating Club and try out in
the preliminaries, but it is necessary
for every girl to support those who
do. And it is the duty of all who have
had any experience, or who have any
possibilities to come to the meetings
and try out.
The more that come the greater the
chances of success. There are just as
good debaters in T. W. C. as there are
in any school and it is our aim to
prove in the Triangle Debate that
there are better. It is time now for us
to get down to hard work. Some al-
ready have been out and are doing
good work. They need more competi-
tion and the support of every T. W. C.
girl.
It is certain that they will get it,
for Miss McCaslin took a vote --ill
who were interested and would assist

student's fede-
ration scores
again
The voice department of T. W. C.
entertained the faculty and student
body in chapel, February 8. The Glee
Club, robed in their new vestments,
sang, "Lift Thine Eyes," from Men-
delssohn's "Elijah," and "When Life
is Brightest," by Pinsute. These num-
bers displayed both the ability of the
girls and Miss McCartney's success
as a director. The next selection was
a solo by Edith Crownover, whose
singing is always enjoyable. She gave
"Valley of Laughter," by Sanderson.
{ The T-. W. C. Octet then .came out
adorned with high white collars and
|enormous black paper beaks, and sang
the Crow Song from "Robin Hood."
The clever costume touch added much
to the effectiveness of the song. The
applause was prolonged until the octet
returned and j*ave an encore from
"The Firefly," by Rudolph Friml.
Such pleasing music is always sure
to "come knock, knock, knocking at
| your heurt." The last number on the
program was "Three Green Bonnets,"
by de Hardelot. This selection was
sung by Floy Friend, who began voice
study only this year. The appealing
character of the words and music was
well suited to her voice.
The entire program was unusually
enjoyable. It can safely be said that
everyone present enjoyed every num-
ber, and that is indeed unusual.
Are You Coming To Open House?
PLANS
COMPLETION
Is every girl in the Student Body
pulling hard to make our one annual
social event a success?
The various committees have put
forth every effort and have drawn
up plans which will make this year's
open house the most charming Febru-
ary 22 party that has even been given
in T. W. C.; numbers of girls are al-
ready hard at work putting these
plans over; others are making or
planning costumes; and no doubt,
many are puzzling aljout which two
of the dozen to invite.
If one girl fails, however, it will not
be a Texas Woman's College open
house. Only a part of Texas Woman's
College will be there. Pay your fifty
cents! Send those thermometers to
the top by Saturday! Prince Charming
may be there! And be sure to plan
that costume now. Fairy godmothers
are unreliable these days.

After brief talks from representa-

moved that the students of Texas

chairman; Mr. C. M. Howard, and
Miss Maud A.Pettey.

motion met with great favor, for the
many advantages of having the so-
ciety in the school are obvious.
Texas Woman's College is not be-
hind in athletics, in debate, or in Fine
Arts; and from now on she will not
be behind in organized effort toward
the promotion of scholarship. She
must have a representative at the
Honor Scholarship convention at Bay-
lor College on February 22!
paderewski is coming
Every year the music clubs of this
ftty bring many of the great artists
|o Fort Worth, and this year the mu-
fie-lovers here have heard many in-
ternational favorities. But it is un-
gual to have in one city during the
inie season two such pianists as Fort
•orth has had this winter. Hoffman
M Paderewski occupying jointly the
I'ghest throne in piano-land—one be-
ause critics judge his flawless artis-
fy supreme in the musical world, the
per because he occupies a place in
public imagination that no other
panist can hope to fill.
' By hi« services to Poland during the
peat War, Paderewski became known
as an able statesman as well as a
pianist. He returned to America after
the war and went to live on his Cal-
ifornia estate, declaring that he never
intended to make another concert
tour. After this discouraging message,
his return to public life was hailed
with all the more joy. Through the ef-
forts of the Harmony Club, Fort
Worth heard one of the fifty concerts
that Paderewski played last season.
It is to be expected that he will be
heralded everywhere with as much en-
thusiasm as he was last year. He has
lost nothing of his former technical
facility and has ever gained in enter-
pretative power. The opportunity of
hearing him is not one to be ignored.
students; in fact, T. W. C. is con-
stantly broadening her scope of ser-
vice to the people of Texas, and ex-
students will do well to keep in close
touch with the plans of the Alma Ma-
ter.

CAUSE OF LOW GRADES
Discussed by Mr. Ball
attractive
high tea
Thursday morning at the chapel
hour, Mr. Ball addressed the student
body. His subject: "Why My Grades
Were Low," was very appropriate for
the audience which had just undergone
a series of final examinations. Mr.
Ball attributed the low grades of many
of the students to poor foundations,
failure to give attention, lack of ap-
plication, failure to begin in time, or
lack of self-confidence. He told a num-
ber of very intertaining anecdotes
which illustrated failure to give at-
tention and application to the wrong
thing. In conclusion, he quoted from
Roger W. Babson, the six "I's" which
are mighty driving froces for success
in life as well as for success in mak-
ing higher grades. They are:
Industry,
Integrity,
Intelligence,
Initiative,
Intensity,
Inspiration.
Wednesday afternoon, February 13,
the wives of the trustees were enter-
tained from 4 to 6 o'clock with a High
Tea, given in the form of a buffet
luncheon in the dining room of the
Household Science Department with
the senior department and a commit-
tee from the faculty as hostesses.
The table was very effectively dec-
orated, carrying out the Valentine
scheme. In the center was placed a
beautiful red heart surrounded by
small madeira linen doilies. Around
the edge were four mahogany candle
sticks with gleaming red candles un-
der attractive maline shade-;.
The delicious menu consisted of the
following: Chickihi a !a K'ng, Cran-
berry heart sandwiches, Mosaic bread
and butter sandwiches, Charlotte ru"se
molded in the form of a heart, Coca-
nut macaroons and coffee.
A delightful time was enjoyed by
all present.

txw0c0 staff
is commended
The Txwoco Editor has just re-
ceived a letter of congratulations
from the Hugh Stephens Press say-
ing that the final printing specifica-
tions for the Txwoco were the first to
be received for any of the annuals
which they print. The engraver also
says that the work is coming in in
record time.
The Txwoco Staff is putting in
every spare minute; each member in
her own department. Anna Krull has
her kodaks all in, Elizabeth Robinson
is watching all of you for some slip
in order that she may write a joke
about you for the annual, Ellen Pug-
sley has her work as Literary Editor
practically completed, Marion Isley
has been waiting for the basket ball
jseason to open so that she can get in
the remainder of her athletic pictures,
; Florence Autrey is working s,o hard
that she actually dreams pen and ink
sketches, on her pillow at night, and
Virginia Burks and Anavi Myatt are
doing their best to assist the editor
over the rough places. ^
We are expecting the Txwoco to be
out by the fifteenth of May and we
hope that every picture flatters and
every comment pleases.

next prey
Girls! Listen! Tell everyone about
tho, game.jj^ Friday night we play
Southwestern. They lost to S, M. U.
and they're going to lose to us. We've
got t,o win and our team plays twice
as well when the student body is
backing them and demonstrating their
pep at the games. Not in their rooms.
Monday night we play Denton.
Everyone knows what that means. Get
your lessons early and call all your
friends. Girls this is one of the games
of the season. Get busy! Help the
team!
We'll have bleachers in the gym by
Friday and Miss Parrish has asked
some of the girls to decorate it too.
Now, everyone come and show our
team you appreciate it. Bring your
cough drops, cause we're going to yell
and yell and yell.
Hurrah for the team!

denton normal
court a hoodoo
for t. w. g.
For the second time in the last two
years, the score between T. W. C. and
Denton Normal ended in a tie. A fast,
i interesting andjjj exciting game was
played on Monoay afternoon in the
Norn,ial (?) gym, and again, the
seemingly unavoidable tie. 22-22.
The team left Monday morning at
11 o'clock, by train, for Denton. The
previously arranged plans to go in
cars was interferred with by the
weather so with the aid of umbrellas
and street cars our brave little bunch
of ten managed to get the fastest
train out. The T. & P. But the trip
over was a jolly one with "concealed
I weapons" and "heated arguments" to
brighten it.
After a "light" lunch down town,
'girls went out to the Normal and
I rested until time to go on the court.
The Denton court is much larger than
lours, and they were busily engaged in
ibecoming accustomed to so much room
when Dr. Stout, Henry Lee and in
fact, the whole pep squad too, came
ltriumphantly marching in. Every play-

student's recital
The first of the two Fine Arts re-
citals this week, was given Tuesday
night in the auditorium. Catherine
Andrews, who was to have played the
first number, was jflf-So Thelma
Hurst, played "Arabesque," by Cham-
inade. Gertrude Mae McFadden sang,
"Desert Sands," and "How Many a
Lonely Caravan," from A Lover in
Damascus, by Amy Wolforde-Finden.
Miss Tillett played the accompain-
ments. These Arabian love songs, with
their contrasting tones of lonliness
and exultation, had a touch or barbaric
fervor which caused them to be ap-
plauded enthusiastically. Vera Deets
played the strongly rhythmic "Danse
, Caprice," by Grieg. The Public Speak-
ing Department was represented by
Maurine Ragsdale, who gave "The
Highwayman," by Alfred Noyes. Her
rendition intensified the well-known
i"grip" of the poem. The first violin
number was:' "Scene de Ballet," by
Be>iot, played by Mary Bowman, ac-
companied by Dean Venth. His glis-
sando caused quite a sensation. Pau-
line Buck played, "The Fauns," by
Chaminade, a charming composition,
|full of character. I.inetta Lavendar
was ill; so the Bach numbers were
omitted. Nora Maupin played a melod-
ious "Reverie," by Schuett. The Mo-
' zart Sonata, given by Grace Sykes,
land the Mendelssohn number, by Na-
jdine Crump, were enjoyable because
■ of their quiet classicism.
The wistful melody of the numbers
sung by Floy Frind was fully appre-
ciated by the audience. The selections
Far Off I Hear a Lover's
were :
Flute," by Cadman, and "Three Green
Bonnets," by Hardelot. Little Miss
'Sheila Allen played a Heller etude
with a delightfully clear, firm touch
Ada K. Wynne, accompanied by Dean
Venth, gave two familiar and graceful
airs, "Gavatti," by Gossec, and an ai.1
by Gluck. Louise Welch closed the
program with the vigorous Tarantella
by Heller.
