Humble Day tobe
Held at Baytown
On the evening of Monday, May
2nd, at 7:30 the entire student body
of the Baytown school will present
a May Fete on the lawn in front of
the Community Building. The elec-
tion that was held to determine the

versed. The dancing will begin again
at two, and will last until five, an
intermission of two hours will be
taken, and the dance will continue
from seven to nine. Those in charge
of arrangements are making plans to
take care of the largest Humble Day
crowd ever, and a big time is assur-
ed. Incidently, the interurban will be
running and Houston people will have
excellent service to and fro, the cars
will run every hour, on the line. Ev-
erybody turn out; let’s welcome Hum-
ble Day back to Baytown.
The scene of the Big Humble Day
picnic has been shifted back to Bay-
town. For several years the celebra-
tion has been held at Sylvan Beach
park, but for many reasons it has
been decided that Bay town is the
proper place to hold it. And we in
Baytown are glad. Every thing that
is possible to do toward making the
day a success is being done. Arrange-

If you can quickly grasp a new idea,
And follow it with joy instead of pain,
You are not old, no matter what they
tell you,
You still are blessed with a creative
brain.
If you are thrilled at thoughts of hew
adventure,
If you still love to play with children
dear,
Years have no meaning, and no power
to harm you
While you still greet the future with
a cheer.
But if you simply plod along Life’s
Highway,
Seeing not the beauties that each
hour unfold,
If children’s prattling tongues no
longer charm you,
ments are being handled by the Why, then, my friend, you have, in-
Board of Governors of the Bavtown deed, grown old.

BAYTOWN SCHOOL WILL
PRESENT MAY FETE
form of amusement that can be de-
vised will be provided. Frim cne till
two the Baytown Band will ’give a
concert in the park in front of
the building, and Mr. Haltmar is
building a program that will delight
the big audience. Promptly at half
past two, on a specially erected plat-
form in front of the grand stand at
the ball park, Louis Podraza will
make every effort known to his pug-
ilistic brain to flatten Henry Moran
out on the oft-spoken of canvas.
Henry, incidently, will do all in his
power to keep him from it. These two
boys are evenly matched and will
maul each other for four rounds. In
the Six round’main attraction, Battl-
ing Numa, Baytown’s pride, will
tangle with Clem Dooley of Houston.
Dooley has been good for the past
few months, and will cut weigh Nu-
ma a little. This melee should be a
thriller. At 3:30 Mr. Farish will speak
from the same -platform, and at three
thirty-five, the annual clash of bats
will commence. Baytown is boasting
one of the fastest teams in its His-
tory, and predictions are being made
freely that the result of the last two
Humble Day ball games will be re-
ments as well as the program. The
special train from Houston will run
over the New North Shore Electric
Company line, and will arrive about
nine-thirty. It will be met and given
a rousing welcome by the Baytown
Band. Dancing will begin in the audi-
torium of the Community Club
building at 10 a. m. with the Bay-
town Humble Club Orchestra furn-
ishing the music. The big First Aid
meet, with some twenty teams from
the various departments of the plant
competing, will be held at 11 a. m.
on the lawn in front of the community
building and will last until 11:45. The
remaining fifteen minutes before noon
will be taken up by the crack Boy
Scout First Aid team in a demonstra-
tion. Jimmy Carrol has trained the
Scout aggregation, and the boys work
through the difficult problems
smoothly. And for those who have
enough of the first aid demonstra-
tion a Bicycle Race among Baytown’s
mounted corps will be held, starting
promptly at 11:45. The riders are all
in good condition, and some records
will likely fall when the race gets
going. Everything will cease at 12
noon, except eating, which will start.
There will be the usual free coffee
and lemonade, and enough for any
and all. Plenty of tables will be erect-
ed and placed in the best locations in
the parks. All Baytown people are
urged to fix their lunch and get out
under the trees with the rest of the
folks. Lock up your homes on that
day, and come on out for the picnic.
The Baytown Humble Club will have
Hot-dog and Hamburger stands, soda
water and ice cream stands, Root beer
stations, and everything else nsces-
sery to make a gala occasion. Every

the year, when men do hie themselves
unto the greens at eventide; Yea, ev-
en to the diamonds, that they may
strive for mastery of the bases.
2. Others get them to the courts
of Tennis. But Frangos got him to the
court of the law. Yea, even for a
whole week got he him there and we
in Dee-Dee saw him not.
3. And for every day that passeth
behold Rich doth strike a day from
his calendar. In the shoes doth he
quake, for he knoweth not what may
betide him after that he is married.
4. Yea, he windeth his watch sev-
enty times a day, that he may hasten
that day.
5. Now behold Insail has left us.
Upon a day did he gather together his
goods and chattels nd the next day
we saw him no more, for he was not.
6. Now that Wayn hath got him
to the land of Vacash is Mohammed a
prophet indeed among them that dwell
in the Wigwam. He sayeth “Do this”
or “Do that” and all men answer
“Aye, Aye, Sir.”
7. This is the eve of the song-
fest of the singers of the Glee. Still
do these ardent ones search for the
chord which is lost. Methinks some
have found it, but not many.
8. There is an old saying “Christ-

who dwelleth in Deedee saith that it

alive all the year.

for he bringeth with him the ardor
of youth and the Christmas spirit
