chose the ideas on which they
wanted to work. As they worked
they disregarded and added new
ideas until they had narrowed
the field to three ideas. This
week the designing class will be
responsible for choosing the final
design.
“This' is the college float NOT
the art float,” said Mrs. Peavy.
“The clubs and student body as
a whole made it possible for us
to win first place last year in
the college division,” she con-
tinued. The actual work on the
float will begin this week with
students working day and night,
to get the job completed in less
than six weeks.
“Practically the entire student
body worked last year at one
time or another, and all students
are urged to help with the float
this year,” said Mrs. Peavy. Be-
cause the students do all the
work, the float costs less than
% what it would cost if it were
built by professional builders.
The school sponsors and pays
for the float. Scrap wood, used
chicken wire, and old newspaper
for paper mache are utilized in
order to save on expenses. After
the parade, the float is stripped
and props are saved for future
use.
Representatives who ride on
the float are selected from among
the individuals who are most ac-
tive in the building- the float.
Also those clubs, which are most
active in helping build it are . .
asked to select a representative. nos> W1'' hold its annual Spring

Designs, designs, designs . . .
out of a countless number of de-
signs submitted as ideas for
SAC’s entry in the Battle of
Flowers Parade, one will be built
to represent the school.
“The field has been narrowed
to three basic ideas and the stu-
dents have been working with
various aspects of e a c h,” said
Mrs. Margaret Peavy, art teach-
er. “The final selection of the
float will be made this week,”
she added. Mimsi Walbridge, so-
phomore art major, is float co-
ordinating chairman and other
chairmen will be appointed to
work with her. x”
“Pretty as a Picture” is the
theme of this year’s parade. Each
student in the design class sub-

the art education majors made

Enrollment Rises
Over Last Year
Final tabulation of enrollment
in the day and night school divi-
sions has now been made. Last
year s total in the day divison of
1,348 has risen to 1,512. At night
the 3,410 students exceed last
year’s total by 60.
Both sessions have had a slight
decrease in enrollment from* the
fall semester. This is a normal
expectancy, however, and can be
attributed in some cases to lack
of enthusiasm, lack of funds, and
“spring fever.”

All the dance compositions are
original. After the themes are
chosen, the choreography is de-

Barbara Burns and Margo
Whitt are SAC’s entries in the
“Miss Fiesta” contest this year.
Barbara Burns was chosen by
the Fiesta Association to be the
“Miss Fiesta” candidate and
Margo Whitt was chosen to be
the “Maid of Honor” candidate.
At a tea in the Menger Hotel on
March 14 at 8 p.m.. March 2 7, at
the Municipal Auditorium, these
two girl§ and six other candidates
will compete for the titles of
“Miss Fiesta” and “Maid of Hon-
or”.
In order for San Antonio Col-
lege to walk away with the hon-
ors this year, each and every
SACite must be there and vote.
The votes will be counted and
the winners announced. It will be
impossible for any school to win
both titles, since the Fiesta Asso-
ciation has decreed that after the
votes are counted they will award
only one title to a college. How-
ever, i? we are to win anything,
we must vote.
Tickets for the contest will be
i on sale soon. The tickets will cost
50c for students and children, and
$1 for adults. The cost of’ the
ticket allows the bearer to vote
for his candidate and attend the
dance afterward^.
Dr. Lois G. Morrison, Dean of
Women, said “My actual feeling
is that San Antonio College can
rate in this community only if
each student is a one hundred per
cent booster in the school.
