HERE’S TO!
Irene Bewley presented in the auditorium last Wednesday
night her original character sketch “Tales of Tennessee
Hills.”
Somehow the performance did not go over as one would
have expected it to. She is a native of the Tennessee Moun-
tains but from all indications over-played her part in repre-
senting the romance and religion of the people of her own
hills. Several people in the audience who were also raised
in Tennessee and have lived there for some time stated that
they didn’t see anybody there that acted as she portrayed
them.
Usually when somebody gets to be an “artist” they be-
come what is commonly termed as temperamental—which is
nothing more than a big word for a big temper. Dropping
character to tell a group of small children not to laugh till
the older people did, in my opinion, is not such good dra-
matics.
From all reports, it is indicated that the whole affair was
about ten degrees below—not so hot. Here’s to better Lyceum
programs!
To mention Lemmon’s name at
the girl’s dormitory is like wav-
ing a red flag in the face of a bull.
He’s the guy who nailed the screens
closed on all the windows.
It seems that there is some ques-
tion as to whether it is legal to
have the screens nailed closed on
the fire escape window.
The Girls’ Reformatory, er-er—
ah—beg your pardon, Dormitory is
a nice quiet place to stay. Girls
like to stay there, but not quite as
much time as Mrs. Churchman in-
sists on.
Rumor has it that a certain old
maid objected to a married wo-
man spending the night with her
husband down town.
KNEES
Since a manufacturer introduced . . . no-draft ventilation*
a new wave of car-buying has taken place . . . Every hen-
pecked husband in the country bought one ... and claims that
even when his wife is talking there is no draft, which is say-
ing a lot for any car.
But the industry has introduced another gadget that from
its advance advertising, makes the self-starter look like just
another gag to save on gas. It is a car with knees! That
in itself is an accomplishment. But, as everyone has ob-
served, all knees are not alike; in fact, one might go so far
as to say that some knees are better than others. There is
terrific competition in the motor industry. It would not
surprise me in the least to see some company come out to-
morrow with this slogan: Buy car with knees like Marlene
Dietrich,” and the next day see a rivel company advertise:
“Se the 1934 model with the Mae West chassis!”
How will the style trends affect the motor-car industry?
Naturally when the long dress that covers the knees is pop-
ular, fenders will have to come down proportionately. If
fashion demands the briefeer costume, the modern auto will
have to purr around looking like Sally Rand without one of
her fans.
Now that motor cars have knees, the entire field of
automobile repairing must be changed. Instead of contract-
ing old-fashioned ailments like broken-axle and burnt-out
spark plugs, the gas-buggy doctors will be treating their pa-
rents for water on the knee and fallen arches. I think this
automobile improvement thing has gone far enough. Pretty
soon the co-eds will be demanding elimination of the clutch
in the car. ,. . and that would be a calamity.—A. J. Blue, in
Zenith City Collegian, Duluth, Minnesota, Junior College.

THE VALUE OF IGNORANCE
The property most commonly found to exist in the human
organism is termed ignorance. It hath been variously prais-
ed as being a beneficial shield or buffer for sinners who, mer-
cifully, do not know what the world hath in store for them.
Contrariwise it hath been condemned as the bane of the good,
leading them to tangle their feet in the misfortunes of sin.
It hath been urged that the abolition of ignorance would
be a blessing, in that those who are destined for a life of un-
happiness could dispose of themselves by sundry means, while
those who are to achieive happiness would really secure more
joy than ever from contemplation of their coming good for-
tune.
Consider the advantages of having ignorance in the world:
It furnishes a livehood, by the necessity of eradicating it* to
a multitude of pedagogues and professors* who, otherwise,
would be unhappy members of the soup lines. If there were
no ignorance in the world, then a thousand speakers woulc
be out of something to talk about and a motivation for talk-
ing.
Ignorance, though no excuse before the law, nevertheless
is the fortress and sustainer of law. If there were no ignor-
ance, then there ned to be no laws for people to violate, anc
no reason any should be violated. A host of legal entrepre-
neurs then, subsist by reason of the existence of ignorance.
If there were no ignorance, then there need bo no work
done because soon every problem should be solved in the best
manner possible. If there were no ignorance, then we should
all die of ennui. Ignorance makes the world interesting, and
therefore, livable.—The Pine Log.
The Scavenger
presents the
GARBAGE CAN
Well! well! Dear reader, the old
Scavenger’s got some more dirt for
the dirty this week.
A certain man about the hill
asked for Jean Williams at the
main desk in the library. The girl
at the desk informed him that she
was on reserve.
Calling Car No. 27-122. Turn
down radio in your car. You’re
disturbing the public.
LEE KOHLENBERG’S
RHYTHM BOYS PLAY
AT COLLEGE DANCE
Lee Kohlenberg and his Rhythm
Boys played for an all-College
dance held in the gym last night.
The Rhythm Boys have broadcast-
ed over KTSA and have played at
many of the leading dances dur-
ing the past years.
A “home-made” cooling system
was installed. This kept the gym
considerably cooler than it was at
the last dance. eBautiful decora-
tions and shaded lights added
greatly to the attractiveness of the
dance.
Lee sprung a pleasant surprise
on the bunch when he announced
a couple of special floor numbers.
James Street and Mary Virginia
Kaufman executed a snappy tap-
dance, followed by Dorothy Lytton
doing her esthetic.
We will again be invited to hear
the Rhythm Boys at Riverside,
where they will play for the an-
nual water pageant.

LIBRARY NOTICE
The library will be closed
Wednesday, July 4. Reserve
books may be secured from
3:30 to 5:00 Tuesday afternoon
to be returned at 8:00 Thurs-
day morning.
‘Operator 13* Hailed
Greater Drama Than
‘Birth of a Nation’
The newer enterprise which, ac-
cording to critics, surpasses the
“Birth of a Nation” in military-
setting and story, is “Operator 13”
Marion Davies’ latest starring pic-
ture, with Gary Cooper as her
leading man—which opens Thurs-
day at the Palace Theatre.
The screen story is based on
the last and greatest novel from
the prolific pen of the late Robert
W. Chambers. With the Civil
War, the last of the romantic
wars, as the background the story
deals with the intriguing spy sys-
tems of both the northern and
southern armies out of which
rises one of the finest romances
of the rebelion.
For the production an entire
West Virginia village was con-
structed as it existed in the early
Sixties. For other sequences a
street of Richmond, Virginia was
reproduced for one of the battle-
scenes. Battlefields were design-
ed to conform with famous battle
grounds of seventy years ago. His-
torical buildings of Washington,
were designed for many of the
settings. And two famous old
mansions of the south are created
again in the picture.

Little Girl’s Heroism
Saves Her Playmate
From Drowning
smiled so demurely at the dinner
table when a certain name was
mentioned ? The name is the
“King of farm products.” Now
you figure that one out.
For exercise, go to Seguin and
play tennis. Ferdnandine does.
We wonder why that certain
speech class chose a subject on the
“Double Standard,” and why that
poor innocent freshman went to
the library and asked for a book
on sexology.
Ida Mae Crozier is no slouch if
she does room with Pfeiffer.
After searching in every con-
ceivable nook and corner of the
town for dirt the Scavenger plod-
ded his weary way home and found
just what he was looking for in
his own living room—which proves
the old saying that you can find
the best in your own back yard.
From this moment on the Scaven-
ger gets all his typing done free.
Ignorance might be bliss, but
knowledge is profitable.
The College Players left Satur-
day afternoon from the Bobcat and
spent a very pleasant week-end at
the Ward Camp in Wimberley. The
group arrived at their destination
at 4:30 o’clock and bridge was the
chief attraction of the afternoon.
After a very delicious supper, the
party went on a short hike led by
Mr. and Mrs. Lippman with Mr.
and Mrs. Wright bringing up the
rear. Everyone retired about nine
o’clock for a good night’s rest.
The next morning everyone arose
early for a dip before breakfast.
After a very delicious breakfast
of eggs, bacon, and coffee, the
party returned to San Marcos. A
good time was had by all.
The Scavenger wonders why
Grace Sims has to rush to her
chemistry class when she has an
“off period” before it—?
The other night a few informed
teachers got to discussing relig-
ion. It ended with quite a bit of
“left-over” remarks.
Estelle Merritt is taking lec-
tures by air. Her new radio is
right convenient for these 7 o’-
clock classes.
The Scavenger wonders why
Luerene Sponberg makes a mad
rush to her home in Austin every
Saturday. Could a certain wavy-
haired brunette be the cause ? Ain’t
love grand!
Sarah and Charles Wise have
met at last and they are not rela-
tives. That wise guy Wise made
a wise crack that perhaps the little
Wise girl may not want to change
her name. Wise guy, eh? Now the
old Scavenger asks, you would this
be wise?
Consternation reigned when a
certain tall blond failed to come
in last Sunday night. Imagine the
disappointment when Mrs. Church-
man found Florence Kelly quietly
sleeping in the Strader House.
Who was the blue-eyed girl that
Being effected by the beautiful
moon of late, the Scavenger has
turned poet. With apologies to
Mr. Longfellow and anyone who
appreciates good poetry, the Scav-
enger offers his next bit of dirt in
rhyme.
Listen, my readers, and you shall
hear
Of the escapade of Paul Revere.
’Twas twelve o’clock on a moon-
light night
And Paul was feeling pretty tight
So he phoned a girl and she an-
swered, “Hello.”
“I’m going riding,” quoth he,
“wanta go.”
“Sure,” she said in a voice quite
high.
“0. K.,” said he, “I’ll be right by.”
So he cranked up his Ford and
started out,
And he blew his horn and let fly
a shout
And they went to Be-Back to get
some beer
On the midnight ride of Paul Re-
vere.
peared in one of the back issues
of the Star.
Some men play golf for pastime.
Some work in gardens, while oth-
ers look in windows at little girls
who keep their shades up to keep
from smothering to death.
I suppose girls from the country
do forget about shades and one
can see things that interest you.
If you have been looking, you
know what I mean.
Think of the money that’s wast-
ed in buying gasoline for cars that
circle by girls’ boarding houses.
Think what a help that money
would be to the widows and or-
phans in Siam.
Every man should choose a hob-
by, but don’t choose one that the
wife will not approve of.
Little Velma Lee Richardson is
the city’s latest heroine.
Only five years of age, Velma
Lee has saved a life.
The scene was a picnic at Riv-
erside. A number of little girls
were playing near the water.
Little Janell Kaderli was swing-
ing over the swimming pool when
she lost her hold and fell.
Janell, four years old, cannot
swim. The water was too deep
to permit her to stand.
Without the slightest hesitation,
Velma Lee leaped into the pool
and brought her little playmate
to the water’s edge.
Janell’s father, Fred Kaderli,
principal of San Marcos High
school, had heard the commotion
and arrived in time to lift his
daughter from the pool.
Vehna Lee is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Felton Richardson,
who now reside at Riverside park.

Will You Do
Your Part?
Permit us to end this column
this week, dear reader, with a
creation of one of our victims. It
is a spontaneous outburst of feel-
ings, containing a lot of good ad-
vice that can be well taken and
used if one expects to steer clear
of our all-reaching column. Here
it is:
Into the depths of the garbage can
Was tossed the name—aye all that
remains—
Of one of our two most prominent
pains.
Alas! He was the Scavenger’s man!
He was her man but she done him
wrong!
Just threw him down and tossed
him in
The Garbage Can with a bag of
sin
And a cigarette butt and a song.
Right into the garbage can he
went
With the other refuse and debris.
Victim of his notoriety,
This his last will and testament—
Advice to those who come to cast
a stone:
Be sure that all the other rocks
are thrown,
And that the Scavenger is not
about,
Fof the Garbage Can’ll get you if
you don’t watch out.
—Q.E.D.
Better not tell a boy to dry his
hands on your petticoat, so says a
learned dame at the Dorm.
The Scavenger offers you a con-
tribution by H. M. G. found in the
Star box. H. M. G. is remembered
for her article on “More Men
Needed in SWTTC” which ap-
IS IT PAPPA THAT PAYS?
The more I think about it the madder I get and the mad-
der I get the more I think about it. One Saturday nite I put
on a clean pair of white trousers and sauntered very non-
chalantly down to Riverside to take in the big watermelon
feed. As is customary, I took a seat on one of the many
benches furnished by the college for such occasions, but it
seems that the boys forgot it had rained a few days before
and the benches were slightly dirty. It doesn't matter ex-
cept that my pantaloons stuck to some of that dirt, and the
cleaning and pressing man got a job I have been trying to
hide from him for quite a while. Oh, Fill admit that cleaning
and pressing is rather cheap but so is a lot of good soap and
water and a brush with a boy stuck on one end of it.—W.M.
In the hall of the Main Build-
ing Friday and Saturday, July 6
and 7, members of the various
art classes will be selling tickets
for “Dr. Monica,” starring Kay
Frances, at the Palace on Mon-
day, July 9. Mr. Zimmerman has
kindly consented to give the class
one-third of the money received
during the sale of these tickets,
for the purpose of buying a “Ma-
rine” painting by Paul Sherman,
one of the most popular artists of
Texas.
Buy your tickets from the art
class! Main Building, July 6 and

GLYNN JONES—Washing and
greasing.
The mural paintings received
some time ago from Dr. Ankeny,
formerly from the art department
of the University of Missouri, and
now director of Public Works Art
Projects (PWAP), are now on dis-
play on the wall of the first floor
of the Science Building.
These pieces of art were painted
by Adele Brunet who called them
“The Potters.” The first two pic-
tures show potters at work in the
process of moulding and shaping
the vases. The third pictures a
young girl painting the finishing
touches on the pottery.
Murals are usually painted on
wet plaster walls, but these were
made on small slabs so that they
could be transported.
