FATHER OBERSTE GIVES TALK.
SENIORS CHOOSE PLAY.
The student body had as their guest
last week Father Oberste of Our Lady
of Refuge Church. Father Oberste
■discussed the observance of Holy
Week. He described the customs
that are observed in his church. He
«aid that his church started their ob-
servance of Easter on Ash Wednes-
■ W™bJ°meS 40 days *«?! Eaf We'd we *have chosen an a^ta^ast
At last the seniors have chosen
their play. The title is “You’re Tell-
ing Me!” and it’s just as good as it
sounds. It is a comedy in three acts
and is a royalty play. The following
is a short synopsis of the scenes: The
entire action of the play takes place
in the living room of the Carstairs
family’s summer home in a fashion-
able Long Island town. Time: the
present. Act I. Early afternoon of a
June day. Act n. a few minutes
later. Act HI. Two days later—even-
ing.
The action is snappy, as is the dia-
j logue. Please do not expect a play
that is worn and frayed from repeat-
ed presentation, unless you wish to be
disappointed.
To be sure that you will not be
ter. He gave a very beautiful talk
■which we all appreciated. He advised
us to learn to live right with our-
selves, because in that way we be-
come more able to live in peace and
harmony with our companions.
Mrs. Doucette and Miss Tidwell
played several numbers on the piano,
including “My Rosary.” The program
was concluded with the singing of
*‘Holy, Holy, Holy.”
Reverend C. S. Long and Reverend
V. G. .Garrett were among the guests.
The students and faculty were glad
to have had them, and they deeply ap-
preciated the speech by Father Ober-
ste.
Miss Durham spent Easter in
Huntsville with her parents.
Miss Barber spent Easter in Kings-
ville.
Miss Adkins spent the week-end in
Tivoli.
Miss Domas spent the week-end in
Victoria.
Miss Lorraine Sutton was the guest
of Mrs. Smith last week.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Baby Jean
spent Easter in Kenedy and Karnes
City.
Elizabeth Corgey motored to Vic-
toria Sunday evening.
Miss Henderson spent the week-end
in Georgetown.
Thomas Heard motored to Kings-
ville Friday.
Mrs. Hackler spent the week-end in
Corpus Christi.
Elizabeth Ward spent Sunday eve-
ning in Aransas Pass.
We are glad to have Mertie Lovett
back in school after a month’s illness.
Mr. and Mrs. Weddington were the
guests of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Moore
Here they are: Kit Carstairs, a vie- over the week-end.
PUBLIC SPEAKING CLASS GIVES
BANQUET
The public speaking class gave for
the entertainment of the student
body the pageant they had prepared
as a class project. The pageant was
divided into six main divisions, pre-
senting a complete history of Texas,
including plans for a Texas centen-
nial.
The first scene showed who the
father of Texas was, and why he was
so called. Another scene was present-
ed showing Austin bringing his colo-
nists into Texas. The colonists were
gathered around a camp fire singing,
talking and laughing. The students
next enacted the signing of the Decla-
ration of Independence of Texas. Then
came the climax of the pageant, “The
Fall of the Alamo,” where the Texans
and the Mexicans met. Old swords
and guns were used, which made the
scene seem more realistic. Next was
presented the ever-thrilling scene of
v the Battle of San Jacinto. The mere
reference to that battle makes the
true Texan lift his head in pride. The
students did justice to that battle of
battles. After all those terrible and
bloody batles they became milder and
brought us back from the land of
tramping feet, bugles, guns and war,
to the making of the flag of our Lone
Star State. Their concluding scene
was the planning of the Texas Cen-
tennial.
The students wore old fashioned
costumes which made the pageant
' very picturesque. Despite the fact
that the class was a little weak in
their singing, the pageant was a suc-
cess. If more programs of that type
were presented, we would soon be able
to discuss our history with the cen-
tennial visitors we hope to have next
year.

Well, we are back from our Easter
holidays and we certainly are down

About 16 boys are coming out for
spring training. The boys have been
practicing punting, blocking and pass-
ing. Buzz Moore, a noted college
lineman, has been helping Mr. Smith.
Due to the bad weather, training has
been checked somewhat.
Our first game is to be with Robs-
town September 13. We are expect-
ing a larger crowd than has appeared
at our former games'. As you know,
our goal line was not crossed last
year in a conference game. We are
hoping that we may say the same
next year.

SENIOR AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
The pageant the public speaking
students gave was a scream. If you
want to get hurt, just start singing
“Texas, Our Texas,” to one of them.
They certainly seemed at home in
their old-fashioned costumes. They
were born thirty years too soon—I
mean, too late. Oh, well, figure it
out for yourself; I can’t.
Every one is blossoming out in new
clothes and new permanents. You
should see Patty Adler. She looks
quite sophisticated now. Where, oh,
where is that girlish charm? I be-
lieve that emotion is expressed by
saying “Stay as sweet as you are!”
or have they changed .again ? While
we are in a sentimental mood (I
wouldn’t dare say romantic—someone
might misconstrue my statement), we
might discuss the most popular songs
in high school. Those most frequent-
ly heard are: “Believe It, Beloved,”
“Old Southern Custom,” “It’s Easy/to
Remember” and “Whose Honey Are
You?”
Of all Shelley’s love lyrics Thomas
Heard, Buck Weston and Billy Jen-
kins prefer “I Fear Thy Kisses.” If
you aren’t familiar with the poem, you
probably won’t appreciate some of
their comments. Thomas liked the
poem because it put him in a little
old mood, and he positively blushed
when Miss Henderson asked him to
explain that mood. Billy was fond
of that particular poem because it
was one of the shortest that Shelley
wrote and it did not require much
effort to read it. The poem just hit
a responsive chord in Buck’s heart.
(If Campus Chatter doesn’t appear
next week, Buck will probably be the
reason.) Fancy Buck’s heart having
chords. Reminds me of tuning forks
in physics. I am sorry that I can’t
give you the number of vibrations per i
second of the key that the vibrations

Universal Car
Margaret Falloure was born in Sour
Lake, Texas, May 7, 1918. She spent
most of her childhood there, starting
to kindergarten at the age of five.
She completed her third year of school
in Sour Lake. From there she moved
to Houston and attended the Andrew
Briscoe grammar school, where she
completed her fifth grade. Margaret
then attended Edison Junior High
School. While there she was a mem-
ber of the pep squad and an active
member of the Girl Reserves. In the
summer of 1933 Margaret moved to
Refugio, starting to Refugio public
school in the ninth grade. She be-
came a member of the Merrie Maids
and their treasurer. She was a mem-
ber of the pep squad and secretary of
the junior class.
Now she is in the most important
year of her school life, her senior
year. Margaret is one of those shy,
modest little girls. She insists upon
making pretty things for her hope
chest. Margaret is 5 feet and 2 inches
tall, weighs 107 pounds, and just loves
to read, especially letters. Oh, yes,
she likes to write letters and to re-
ceive them. Well, don’t say I didn’t
give you a hint. If you don’t know
Margaret, perhaps you know the girl
with Elizabeth Dorsey. Well, they
are the same person.

One name comes quickly to mind when you think of “The Universal Car.”
The description is distinctively Ford. No other car is used by so many
millions of men and women in every part of the world. Everywhere it is
the symbol of faithful service. . . .That has always been a Ford funda.-
mental. Something new is constantly being added in the way of extra value*
Each year the Ford has widened its appeal by increasing its usefulness
to motorists. . . .Today’s Ford V-8 is more than ever “The Universal Car”
because it encircles the needs of more people than any other Ford ever
built. It reaches out and up into new fields because it has everything
you need in a modern automobile. . . . The Ford V-8 combines fine-car
performance, comfort, safety and beauty with low first cost and low cost
of operation and up-keep. There is no other car like it,
