EL ALAMO MEETING
There will be a very im-
portant meeting of El Alamo
staff at the home of Miss Adah
Louise Staph, 614 East Carson
Street, Wednesday, April 23, at
7:30. The year book is be-
ginning to roll on the press,
and there are many last minute
details to be worked out. It is
imperitive that all members be
present.
San Antonio Junior College will
renew an old tradition the first
week of May in the form of a
Spring Festival which will in-
clude a homecoming coronation,
entertainment, reception and ball.
Balloting for the Junior College
King and Queen will be held on
Friday, April 25. The royalty will
be chosen by the students on
“write-in” ballots, which should
prove the most representative and
democratic, if not precedent-shat-
tering, vote in years. In this
manner of election the name of
the student each person thinks
most qualified to represent Jay-
see in the coronation will be filled
in on the blank ticket.
Invitations are being mailed to
all high schools and colleges in
this district to spend a Duke and
Duchess to represent their schools
in the Festival.
There will be the usual pomp
and procedure accompanying ray-
alty followed by entertainment in
the form of school talent after
which will be a reception and
dance.
In charge of the Spring Festival
are Allan D. Williams and John
E. Blakey. Committee Chairmen
named thus far include: Enter-
tainment, Jud Davis; Orchestra,
Freddie Mueller; Correspondance,
Mary Etta Guley and Claire
Thomas.
Paper flowers from the Jaysee
floats have been promised by
Morris Edwards, and the Adda
Dabbas and Jayseegates will help
provide fre&h flowers of the sea-
son for the stage. '
Since Jaysee had no football
team and thusly no prospects of a
“homecoming-game”, this Spring
Festival, re-incorporated as an
annual affair, will provide an
ideal home-coming-party for er-
students. It will also acquaint
future Jayseeites from local high
schools with us, as well as pro-
vide entertainment for all.
There will be no charge what-
so-ever to students attending the

Proof that J. C. should soon
be the most talked about institu-
tion in San Antonio, is the news
that still another department of
the college is due to go on the air
over station KYFM. The program
to be presented Friday evening at
an unspecified time, and is to run
30 minutes. It will be under the
sponsorship of Mr. Adkins and
his speech department, and will
be directed and produced by
Margie Rodgers.
The first of such programs to
be aired, it will feature news of
the school music and drama. The
main participants will include
such people as, Jim Nagel, Lynn
Forsythe, Jery Rudes and Jud
Davis.
President J. O. Loftin, in
second speech of the year
fore the student body emphasized
the need for more class discus-
sions of today’s problems and
open forums on the part of col-
legians and teachers in the class
rooms. “There is a national feel-
ing toward the development of vo-
cational efficiency,” the Presi-
dent said, in commenting on the
discussions presented at the As-
sociation of Texas Junior Col-
. leges. President (Loftin, went
further by posing the question,
“Are we socially literate enough
so that we may discuss intelli-
gently the affairs of the world
at large.” “Today’s problems de-
mand education so that at least
the college group can vote and
talk on them,” was the closing
thought left by President Loftin.
The Spring Festival, which has
been in somewhat of a contro-
versy, was announced by Asso-
ciation President Norman Howe
as a very tangible project and will
be in the form of a Coronation
and dance and is planned to be at
no charge to the students, since it
will be financed by the balance
left in the Student Activity Fund.
A king and queen will be chosen
to reign and the selection of
these two will.be through write-
in ballots, therefore eliminating
any nominations and possible con-
troversy. John Blakey and Allan
Williams will be in charge of the
plans and anyone interested
please contact same, by any
means.
All of us who bought those
little orange and white stickers,
might as well get out the water
and razor blade because of an
overwhelming vote the colors of
the school have been changed to
blue and gold as was proposed by
Johnny Marsden (now the base-
ball uniforms will match hey fel-
lows?).
An invitation was extended to
J. C. by Juanita Keith of Trinity
U. to contribute any one-act plays
that might be in the inspirational
stage. According to Miss Keith,
the best of the plays submitted
will be chosen and then presented
to the public. The first of such
plays were presented at San Pedro
Reading. Receiving honorable
mention was Lynn Forsythe in
Women’s Poetry Reading. Their
poems were “Kubla Kahn” by
Samuel Taylor Coleridge and “The
Home Burial” by Robert Frost, re-
spectively.
Also entered in the meet was
Rosemary Lozano and Margaret
Rodgers in Women’s Debate and
Irving Pines and Clark Scanlon
in Men’s (Debate. James Nagel
was entered in Men’s Radio.
Sometime this month the Junior
College Speech Class is sponsor-
ing a program with Margaret
Rodgers as producer and director.
The program will feature two
duets by Lynn Forsythe and
Gerald Rudes and School News
by James Nagel.
J. C. Now Seeks
San Pedro Site
/
The trustees of San Antonio
Union Junior College have ap-
pointed a committee to work
with the Chamber of Commerce
and the City Planning Board in a
renewed attempt to obtain the
northeastern corner of San Pedro
Park as the site of a new Junior' second place in Men’s Poetry
The city rejected
similar request last year.
It was decided by the trustees
to seek this property when their
request for the old arsenal
grounds was withdrawn in favor
of the proposed University of
Texas Medical School.
The Junior College now has a
$900,000 building fund, but at the
present cost of building materials
it is deemed inadequate. There
is, however, a bill being expected
to pass Congress to provide fed-
eral funds to match college build-
ing funds during the next year.
In addition to this it has been
learned that the solid rock sub-
soil in the San Pedro site would
save $50,000 in the cost of laying
foundations for the buildings.
