Yoakam Girl Makes Record
In College Music Circles
Miss Melba Welhausen, Yoa-
kum student at Baylor Univer-
sity, is making an enviable rep-
utation as a violinist at h r
school according to reports com-
ing to her home town. She is only
a first-year student, but has
played before President Brooks
of Baylor, and also performed at
musical or social events weekly,
it is said. She completed high
school last May and had attain-
ed a high standard as violinist
here before going to college. Her
poise and stage appearance is
quite above the average, music
critics say. Yoakum Herald
Shiner feels that she has a
claim on Miss Melba.
For years she has been a special
pupil of “our” Miss Stella
Wolters. Then Miss Melba's par-
ents are both Shiner products
and Yoakum is just their adopt-
ed home. Miss Welhausen has
filled many artistic engagements
in Shiner.

Exams start next week. Half
of the school year is over, and
my, how it has flown, The com-
mencement rush will soon begin
and there is so much still to be
done. There’s a great big secret
in the school. The Juniors— well
perhaps we had better let it re-
main a secret.
Let everyone play safe and
come to see “Safety First” at
the City Auditorium Saturday
night. The play starts at 7:45.
The admission is only I5c for
children under 12 and 35cts for
adults.
Husbands who wish to learn
how to put something over “the
wife” are especially requested to
come.
The Basket-ball boys lost a
game to Schulenburg at Schulen-
burg, Friday night T he score
was 26-28. Imagine how exciting
the . ame was. The boys were
playing under several disadvan-
tages. We won't take the space
to mention them. At any rate
when Schulenburg comes here
they are going to give those boys
a still better game. The boys can-
not get over the school spirit at
Schulenburg. Lets gather Shiner
school spirit at the next game.
Junior- Have you ever run a
temperature?
Senior- I’ve never run that
kind of a car!

Social Notes
Saturday night, seven girls
rushed upon the Schlapota porch
and congratulated Rose Zada on
her eighteenth birthday. Was it
a surprise party? — Well, ask
Ro se Zada. Two tables of bridge
were set up and th -* guests en-
joyed a regular “rose” party.
Ruby Rogge was awarded a bud
vase with a beautiful red rose
in it for having the largest score.
Naturally Gertrude Kasper
thought of everything except
bridge and received a red rose
for “booby.” At ten o’clock like
good little girls all departed and
wished that Rose Zada would
have a birthday every week. Her
mother “shore” knows how to
entertain. A Guest
