Flying in three airplanes, on Mon-
day, May 4, Mr. Peters, General Hu-
len’^ chief engineer, together with
four army officers from the Aero
squadron located at Ellington Field,
came to Palacios to make some plans i
in regard to the army camp.
After completing their business
here, they then flew over to El Cam-
po, where they attended a booster
meeting of the Chamber of Com-
merce of that city in connection
with the camp development here. .
Messrs. Duncan Ruthven and J. L
Koerber were there to meet them
and take part in the meeting, which
was a huge success, and all voted
the El Campo people royal fellows.
El Campo is taking an active in-

people realize the benefits that will

surrounding country by having this

The Pouting Princess.
Once there was a very beautiful
princess. She had a very handsome
lover and seemed to have everything
a girl could desire, but she was al-
ways pouting.
One night she dreamed that she
was standing by- a beautiful statue
in an art museum. She heard foot
steps coming but she did not turn to
see who it was. In a few seconds
she felt strong arms folded around

After breakfast she and her maid

That night she dreamed about the
mlan that she had met that day. She
thought they were sitt’.ng by the
fountain in her garden.
She was unhappy, even when she
was with her lover, and wias contin-
ually thinking of her “dream man.”
The next night she read until she
was so sleepy that she could read no
longer, thinking that this would keep
her from dreaming. But just as
soon as she went to sleep, she
dreamed of him again.
The next morning she told her
mother that she intended to break
off her engagement because she did
not reially love him. She wrote him
a note asking him please to call at
ten that she had something very im-
portant to tell him. She got a note
from him saying that he was sick
and would not be able to come. Af-
ter she found that she could not talk
to him she wrote him a letter slay-

dance in it, a religion in which our
girls may exhibit their bare legs.
There is a drunked debauch of inde-
cency, in dress as well as everything
else. We are losing those principles
our forefathers fought for.”
Prelate Sherrin took a slap at our
system of pubic education and its ban
against the gospel. He called atten-
tion to the recnt veto of the governor
of Ohio wereby that official prohibited
the reading of two scriptural verses
in public schools.
“We can not support public schools
much longer in which there is no re-
ligion. You men, as knights, can not
afford to send your children to schools
• in which no word of God is spoken.
You can not do it and be true mem-

Final P. T. A. Meeting.
* ♦ •
The last and best meeting of the
Parent-Teacher Association was held
On last Friday night. The program
consisted chiefly of a delightful lit-
tle moralistic play given by the ele-
mentary grades; an old fashioned
song sung by beautiful girls in ap-
propriate costumes; and other songs
and recitations.
The business meeting ensued with
Mrs. Ewing as president. The elec-
tion of officers for the coming year
was postponed to a meeting of the
ladies in the afternoon of some later
date.
Everyone was delighted to have
Mrs. Pollard visit us and make a
talk. She is well known and well
liked by fail Van Vleck people. The
substance of her talk was a plan for
the betterment of the Van Vleck
school by improving the roads and
conveying the pupils from smaller
schools to Van Vleck. This is a
good idea, and quite a welcome one.
Evidence of Progress.
• * ♦
A gradual improvement has been
noticeable in Van Vleck during the
past and previous years. Besides
having five teachers and an eleventh
grade, Van Vleck has acquired an
agricultural laboratory and an aug-
mented library this year. There is
also a new little school building re-
served for the primary grades, and
the large room upstairs in the main
building bias been partitioned off to
make a study hall and a class room.
Tho improvement in the school
must necessarily be slow, it is a
sure sign of growth and advance-
ment.

This is our last issue of the Van
Vleck Voice. We have enjoyed very
much the news from other schools
and we hope they will continue to
do as well in the years to come.
We also hope that they, as well las
the people of Van Vleck, have en-
joyed our paper and can mark im-
provement in each issue over the
one before it. We have tried to
make it interesting, entertaining and
worth while. We have enjoyed wri-
ting The Voice and regret to drop
such a pleasant pastime. We have
tried to please all and hope our ef-
forts haver not been in vain,
the Seniors, realize that this is
last time to contribute to the “Old
Van Vleck Voice,” but we are glad
We have finished school, though sor-
ty to leave our friends and faithful
teachers.

State Department last Friday even-

frantically crammed into vacant and

burning of “midnight oil” was of
little avail, for even those industri-

all year were unable to make more
than passing grades.
"'These exams are called “College
Entrance examinations,” but those
poor survivors worked with each of

in English the Seniors had to take
