The introduction of guests
and visiting Rotarians was a
group presentation, followed by
group singing, led by the su-
perb director of music of Travis
Park Methodist Church of San
Antonio, Billy Triggs.
The vocal duets by Jolaine
and Jeane Ewing, accompanied
by their father, George Ewing,
also the vocal numbers by Mrs.
Carlos Smith, accompanied by
her sister, Mrs. B. Strole, all of
Gonzales were enthusiastically
received and the entertainers
were all greeted with sponta-
neous applause.
Arthur Ward, secretary, in-

and officers of the Shiner Club
The address of Past Dist.
Governor Wylie Johnson of
Houston proved instructive, in-
formative and enlightening. His
remarks were frequently pun-
ctuated with jocular illustra-
tions and humor.
The presentation of the
Charter was by Dist. Governor
Eugene Humbert of College
Station. The response came from
Glade Weihausen, president of
Shiner Rotary.
In the presentation of gifts
some gems of thought were
spoken by each speaker.
Durell Miller presented th
flag, as a gift from Yoakum;
the Rotary bell and gave
came from Hallettsville, pre-
sented by Paul Renger; Fla-
tonia played Santa Claus with
an unnamed gift presented by
W. D. Johnson; El Campo pre-
sented a banner through Car
Carson.
President Glade responded
fittingly to each gift as he ac-
cepted same for Shiner Club.
An additional feature in
music was presented by Billy
Triggs and Lorraine De Arment
of San Antonio. These were
professional singers of artistic
ability. The lyrical soprano of
Miss De Arment blended per-
fectly with Mr. Triggs baritone.
Mr. Triggs is a full program
himself and proved exceedingly
generous in solo numbers. Mrs.
Triggs was the accomplished

March 18, 1873, and came to
America as a boy, settling in

liest sympathy to the grief
stricken wife, children and
other relatives.
Heavy Rainfall
Over Weekend
The heavy rains in this vi-
cinity during the past week end
totaled from 7 1-2 to 8 inches.
Some claim much damage to
cotton that was ready to pick,
others who had been fortunate
enough to market their crop
claim the benefit to pasture
lands in giving renewed life to
parched ranges, covered with
dust, will far outweigh other
losses. Grain crops will be
saved and fall gardens will be
underway. The drop in tem-
perature was doubly welcomed
and it is hoped the torrid heat
wave of the summer is broken.
Shiner Public Schools
Opened Monday
Morning
The Shiner Public Schools
opened Monday morning, Sept-
ember 2, with an enrollment oft
72 in the first four grades of
the elementary school and 50

mores, and 21 freshmen.
The school year was opened
Monday morning, September 2d
with an assembly of the entire,
school which was attended by a1
number of patrons. Mrs. Wil-1
bur Minear, president of the

tion, made an interesting and
instructive talk on the aims
and work of the organization.
She explained the plans for a
constructive year’s work for the
local organization.
High school classes began j
Monday morning and grammar'
school classes began Monday
afternoon. j
High school classes will be-'
gin the process of organizing
and electing class officers next'
week and their officers will be
announced then.
Although there was an in-
crease in enrollment this year
over last year it was taken care
of satisfactorily. This was made
possible by providing an addi-
tional teacher this year in the
elementary school work. At this
writing Tuesday, September 3,
all departments and grades are
running on a smooth basis. In
fact, two outside school men
were in the building Tuesday
and they made the comment
that it would seem that school
has been running several weeks.
There are still several stu-
dents to be enrolled and the
school will be glad to get them,
enrolled and attending classes I
as soon as is possible.
