$65 Realized by
D. H. S. Musical
Denton High School students net-
ted approximately $65 for the pur-
chase of music to be used in the
school, from their production of the
musical comedy “Way Out West”,
Friday evening. Approximately 700
persons attended the musical, pre-
sented in the Teachers College au-
ditorium under the direction of
Miss Martha Nichols.
More than 70 Denton High School
music students participated in the
production.
Seventy voices were in the sink-
ing- chorus of the musical comeay,
and 45 students were in the main
cast.
“Women of the Press Face the
• Future” was the subject of the ban-
quet address by R. B. Ellard of the
University of Missouri journalism
faculty, heard by more than 100
S. C. W. students, faculty, and
guests at the banquet climaxing
“journalism day” activities at the
college, Friday evening.
Ellard was introduced by Miss
Anna Lou Estes, mistress of cere-
monies. The banquet program con-
sisted of short outlines of their de-
partments of the Lass-O, college
newspaper, by members of the staff.
Miss Elouise Hawkins discussed the
dramatic page; Miss Anne Sim-
mons, sports, Miss Louise Bagwill,
speech department, and Miss Estes
introduced W. M. Loveless, business
. manager of the college, and other
guests. Loveless, President L. H.
Hubbard and Dean E. V. White
made brief talks.
A press theme was emphasized in
table decorations and programs.
Typewriters were in the center of
each side of the banquet table, ar-
ranged in the shape of a copy desk,
and programs were in the form of
miniature “editions”. Paper napkins
contained headlines pertaining to
, prominent guests present.
Journalism students at the col-
lege heard Ellard, Mrs. Ross Wood-
all of Huntsville, D. R. Huffaker of
Whitesboro, Charles Roster of Dal-
, las, Miss Bess Stephenson of Fort
Worth, and W. B. Ruggles of Dal-
las in morning and afternoon ses-
sions of the “journalism day” ob-
servance Friday. A luncheon was
held honoring visiting speakers in
the college tearoom at noon.
F. L. McDonald, head of the de-
partment of journalism at S. C. W.,
was in charge of arrangements for
the day, planned to be an annual
affair at the college.

popular. Can’t I laugh at the girl
“us
was wrong, these girls and mother,
or myself? Nineteen.”
Among the pet grievances of
youth is that it is misunderstood
and unappreciated, all because it
is exceptional.
Most girls pass through the stage
when they ponder, with some sin-
cerity, though not much, on the ad-
vantage of a career oyer marriage.
In the days when a girl had actual-
ly to choose it was easy to see how
the matter might be subject of a
good deal of spirited debate. Girls
today do not choose. They take ei-
ther or both. There is no reason
why the writer of today’s lettei’
should not combine her song writ-
ing ability with marriage.
There is something distressing to
me about this letter. The girl is evi-
dently the victim of some sort of
inhibition about boys and she had
better take herself in hand and con-
quer it. Time will no doubt do it
, for her, but to go around creating
’ the impression that any thought or
consideration of the opposite sex is
beneath!1 her is obviously being blind
( on one side.
Something Is Wrong
i Since this girl talks this very hazy
GIRLS SHOULD ALWAYS TAKE (
NORMAL INTEREST IN BOYS <
Just another proof of the fact <
that the teens take themselves too <
seriously is furnished in the fol- j
lowing letter from a girl of 19 who ]
seems to feel that boys are unwor- i
thy of her attention and that a
career is the thing. An interest in
the opposite sex is normal. The :
girl who does not experience any- •
thing but distaste for boys is un- (
usual. There isn’t much choice be- .
tween the boy-crazy types and the :
girl who is repelled by boys. At an
early age both are liable to outgrow
these tendencies. > '
I am glad to have so many prob-
lem letters from young girls and
to be able, perhaps, to advise
them correctly. What do you think
of this one ?
“My dear Mrs. Martin: \* hen 1
was around 14 a group of girls of
the same age and older who at-
tended school with me never
thought of anything but the boys.
Because my mind ran to what I
might call the higher things of life
they laughed at me, shunned me
and talked behind my back.
“This nearly killed my sou'. My
mother said I was wrong and should
take more interest in boys. I may
have done wrong in not having
anything to do with the boys, but
I don’t figure I would have been
any better off if I had. I might have
been worse, for I might have mar-
ried. Mother still contends that I
should have done so.

Easter, Ancient
and Significant
Observance o f
Christian Year
Easter, to be observed tomorrow,
is the day commemorating the time
of Christ’s resurrection from the
dead, the most significant observ-
ance of the Christian year. This day
has been celebrated by those ac-
cepting the Christian religion from
the very earliest dates of Christian-
ity.
In olden times it was the custom j
for Christians to salute each other
this morning and exclain, “Christ
is risen,” a tradition still retained
in the Greek Church. In ancient
times on the Monday following Eas-
ter Sunday the men would life the
women and on Tuesday the women
would have their turn. This custom
still persists in Scotland today.
The real origin of the celebra-
tion of Easter as a Christian fes-
tivity goes back to the Jewish pass-
over and its plan of thanksgiving
for the saving of the first-born of
each family in Israel.
The name Easter is derived from
“Eostre,” the name of a Saxon god-
dess, whose feast was celebrated ev-
ery year in the spring about the
same time of the Christian festival.
The name remained after the char-
acter of the feast was changed.
Others believe that the name came
from “Oster” which signifies rising.
Eggs Symbolic
Easter eggs have become as much
a part of the great Sunday as the
meaning of Easter, itself. Eggs came
to be used ii> connection with the
symbolism, at Easter because the use
of eggs was forbidden during Lent,
and they were brought to the table
on Easter Day, colored red to sym-
bolize Easter joy.
The significance given to the eggs
that they were representing a new
creation of mankind by Jesus risen
from the dead was probably an in-
vention of later times; however,
many people believe this idea. The
custom of eggs may have its origin
in paganism, for many pagan cus-
toms celebrated the return of spring
and the egg is an emblem of the
germ of life in early spring.
Promise of Renewed Life
Throughout the entire year there
is a procession of joys and sorrows
that come to mankind, but at Eas-
tertide the whole weary world re-
laxes for a day and smiles. In every
little bud and each tiny blade of
grass showing through the earth
there is a promise of renewed life.
People pause for a brief second in
their mad rush to wonder at the
beauty and the greatness of the re-
awakening of life at this season of
the year.

WICHITA FALLS, April 11.—(/P)
—Wade L. Allison, 23, was held in
the Wichita County jail here today
on a charge of murder following a
fatal affray at Burkburnett yes-
terday afternoon in which R-> H.
MccFarlane, 45, brother of Con-
gressman W. D. McFarlane of Gra-
ham, died from a broken neck.
Allison was discharged. March
24 from a WPa project on which
McFarlane was superintendent.
The fight developed when Al-
lison questioned McFarlane rela-
tive to the reasons for his dis-
charge. Witnesses said that Alli-
son knocked McFarlane down and.
struck him while he was on the
ground.. After the two were sep-
arated McFarlane started to walk
away and Allison struck him on
the back of the neck, they said.
McFarlane crumpled to the ground
ana died a few minutes later. A
medical examination revealed that
both his neck and jaw had been
fractured.
Funeral services for McFarlane,
a World War veteran who served
in France as an officer, have been
tentatively set for Monday, either
in Graham or Burkburnett.

Garden Program
For Madonna Circle
Meeting with Mrs. Charles Mer-
cer Friday afternoon, the Madonna
Circle had a garden, program of
talks, followed by a roundtable dis-
cussion of each. Mrs. Ray Ander-
son spoke on “Interesting Boys and
i Girls in Backyard and Vacant Lot
Gardens.” Mrs. E. L. Worley spoke
on “The Educational Value of
School Gardens,” and Mrs. W. E.
Scherle on “The Moral Influence of
Gardens.” The hostess served re-
! freshments. The next meeting, April
| 24, will be with Mrs. W. L. Wight.
Modesty was noted to be the
outstanding feature of the 1936
spring fashion opening of evening
frocks. The famous designers have
turned from the daring, low cut
gown of last season, to the more
feminine models with decolletes far
from low.
Restrained sophistication has giv-
en way to natural charm, and
though some bare backs are seen,
high necks prevail almost univer-
sally in the majority of frocks. Some
models are even draped to the
throat.
A natural easy fitting silhouette
with reasonably full skirts was a
distinguishing feature in the en-
tire collection. Even gowns for the ,
more mature woman are marked by i
drapery which crosses from shoul- j
der to shoulder and cascades from j
there to the hem. They are fash-
ioned from dull white crepes, ac- 1
cented. with mustard, ivy and
green. Floral prints of pussy willow
silk make beautiful creations for
evening. These gowns, however,
should follow very simple lines so
as not to detract from the beauty
of the material. They should be
free of ornament, with only a slight
trimming of contrasting material.
For the younger set, stylists sug-
gest full skirted, floor-length frocks
with short puffed sleeves. They are
made of checked taffeta, white
faille, pale blue broche, and there
is a winsome note about
which is cleverly accented,
trimmings of colored strass,

Born to Mr. and Mrs. Geron
Smith, 911 Prairie Street, Thursday,
a girl, Carolyn Kay Smith.
Word from Gerald Stockard, who
went to Ann Arbor, Mich., in re-
sponse to a message telling of the
critical illness of his brother, Wil-
bur Stockard, states that his condi-
tion is little improved but the
chances for recovery are favorable.
Walter Abney, son of the late
Col. and Mrs. T. W. Abney of Den-
ton, died suddenly at his home in
Mena, Ark., Friday evening, accord-
ing to word received by relatives
here. He is a brother of Asbury Ab-
ney, formerly of Denton, and un-
cle of Mrs. Theresa Abney Charle-
ton, of San Antonio, and a cousin
of Mrs. C. J. Wiikirson, Mtrs. Ivy
Taylor and Ben and Abney Ivey of
Denton.
“In the newspaper field, women
find relatively few opportunities,”
he said. “Metropolitan papers that
employ 50 men to write and edit
employ usually three or four girl
reporters. No one questions a wo-
man’s intelligence in the newspa-
per office, but in addition to the
prejudice that exists against her,
she lacks, in many instances, the
sheer physical vitality to cover big
stories, she lacks the emotional
balance to take quick, curt orders,
to do exactly what she is told and
to work at high speed always
against the clock,”
Urges Specializing
He urged, however, that an excel-
lent field, and a rea^ need, exist for
specialized women in certain de-
partments of the newspaper. '
“Women should stop trying to be
second-rate newspaper men and
become first-rate newspaper women
—women who study the newspaper
business, who write unusually well,
who make a serious study of how
women readers think—how they
differ from men in racial instincts,
individual instincts, social instincts,
intellectual methods,” said Ellard.
“Women can specialize effective-
ly in girls’ sports, women’s politics,
home economics, in books and in
styles. Indeed, I think the field of
styles and clothes has hardly been
touched in the newspaper business.”
Eilard devoted the latter half of
his address to scoring the present
day newspaper as failing in the job
of interpreting and explaining the
significant happenings and currents
of the times, saying too much
space is given to “trivial news,
comic strips and impossible serial
stories.”
He pointed to the rise of radio
news broadcasting and the appear-
ance of such magazines as Time
and News-Week and their popular-
ity as significant of the perplexed
public’s effort to find intelligent re-
porting, done by reporters aware
of the significance of economic and
social causes of events, and to find
serious interpretation of major
happenings.
Interpretation Needed
“A tremendous lot of living since
the stock market collapsed in 1929,
days of intense experience, have
sent millions of readers to the news-
paper with mingled indignation and
despair,” Ellard said. “These read-
