FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT
RECITAL LAST FRIDAY
ENSEMBLE CONCERT GIVEN BY
JUNIORS IN PIANO AND
EXPRESSION
Last Friday evening in the Universi-
ty auditorium the Juniors of the Fine
"Arts Department, under the direction
of Miss Annie Ransom, piano instruc-
tor, entertained those present with gn
exceptionally well rendered recital, an
ensemblb concert with selections by ex-
pression students. Most of the musical
numbers were given for two pianos,
making the program all the more ef-
fective. Each number showed remark-
able skill, expression and execution in
those so young. The readings from the
Expression Department ^ere all well
chosen, were rendered with perfect
ease, and with the frankness, charm,
and winning way of childhood. The
audience was both entertained and
pleased. Much credit for this program
reflects upon the efficient instructors
and upon .the pupils' ability and prog-
ress. The program was:

CENTENARY CAMPAIGN
WELL UNDER WAY
S. U. WILL GO OVER THE TOP—Y.
W. AND Y. M. C. A. UNDER EF-
FICIENT LEADERS, HEAD
LOCAL CAMPAIGN
The great centenary drive for the
Methodist mission cause, that has been
talked qf, written or, and planned for
months, was officially launched Sunday
at 12. o'clock. Immediately the entire
force—captains, sub-captains, and as-
sistants—heading this campaign in
Georgetown rushed into the work. The
leaders for Southwestern University
were at the very front with plans all
made and spirits high to put over this
move with all the pep and enthusiasm
of old Southwestern. It is through the
Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. .C. A. that this
movement is to work, in the main, and
these two units were not lacking in
their efforts when the word came to
"Go!" Every, student was reached
immediately and urged to sign a pledge
for his amount to be paid each year for
five years, or his pledge for one year.
As a result of all the efficient work the
amount raised that afternoon by the Y.
M. C. A. was $900, by the Y. W. C. A.
$850. Sunday night at church Dr. Bar-
ton announced that although reports
had not- come in as full, the total raised
of " the $17,000 pledged for the church
as a whole was, about $9000. This is
only the beginning. The work will
continue all this week under never-fail-
ing leadership and by next Sunday
night the drive will go over. South-
western will not fall down. She has
never failed. Let each student respond
and "put the old college over the top of
a move that has no top! The work
carries on!
YOUNG ELECTED CAPTAIN
; OF BASEBALL FOR 1920
Paul Younfe, third sacker of the T. I.
A. A. Champs, has been elected to head
the Pirates on the diamond in 1920.
Younar's efficient work on tne Pirate
team for the past two years merits the
position of hoQ£r and leadership in
which his teammate have placed him.

seniors take advantage
of annual holiday
^Thursday morning at 8:30 the mem-
bers of the Senior Class gathered at the
east entrance of the Annex and made
off for Town's* Mill. The six automo-
biles were not only loaded to capacity
with intellectual beings but there were
eats galore. The criticism might be of-
fered that the class lost its dignity when
it circled the University and Mood Hall
giving yells which fell hard upon the
ears of the underclassmen who were go-
ing to classes and those who were atten-
tively gazing their professors in the eye.
Upon arrival at the Old Mill, the first
object of prey was the old swimming
hole which was so clear that the most
minute rocks on the bottom could easily
be seen and that it was warm is at-
tested by the fact that nearly everyone
remained suited until time to return
home. During the leisure hours part of
the class was occupied with boat racing,
others with forty-two games and the rest
amused themselves with ice cream cones,
bananas and the 5-gallon jar of ice tea.
The time to return home came too
soon and it was not at all satisfactory
to let the darkness drive the seniors in,
so to the picture show we went and called
the day finished after, the town had clos-
ed. The class seemed pleased with the
underclassmen, finding that they had so
diligently pursued their daily studies. It
is great to be a Senior.
"GOOD LUCK" PROGRAM
AT Y. W. C. A. SUNDAY
FOUR-LEAF CLOVER CARRIED OUT
• BY"*FAITH, HOPE, LOVE
• AND LUCK
The Y. W. C. A. gave a \inique pro-
gram Sunday evening which was attend-
ed by a large number of girls and boys.
It was an appreciated privilege which
allowed the boys to attend the Y. W.
C. A. service. Many words of apprecia-
tion for the excellent program and of
admiration for the home-like hall-of the
Y. W. were heard. The program con-
sisted of a talk and a song on each of
the four subjects, Hope, Faith, Love and
Luck, represented by the four leaves of
clover. .'1 . • _ ,
A violin solo by Miss Ruth Hall,
"Whipering Hope," introduced the first
of the four subjects, EWpe. Miss Marv
Blanks then gave a talk on hope in
which she expressed her ideas on hope. A
selection from Shelley's "Prometheus
Unbound," concluded her talk.
Miss Eloise Matthews in her talk on
Faith, following the song, "Faith of Our
Fathers," said that it is by faith that
we have the strength and power which
we can have in no other way. It is only
bv faith that we can have access to the
Kingdom of God. It is only by faith
that we can live the right kind of lives
and thus gain the Kingdom.
The third of the clover leaves repre-
sents Love. "O Love That Will Not
Let Me Go" introduced this subject. Misa
Mildred Fleming in her talk on love
said that everything around us showed
love. Then man, the greatest creation
of the world, should show a greater'
amount of love. It has"been said that
a nation reaches no higher than its god.
But our God is love. Then we should
reach out and love the whole world. We
should share the love of the Supreme
Being with tlfose who have not the light
which we have.
There were Hope, Faith and Love rep-
resented in the clover and then God put
another leaf in for "Luck." The solo
by Miss Helen Oatman revealed this fac
Milss Aloise Walker's talk on the si
ject was, according to the speakerjf?
summary of the other subjects, bccausi
it was a combination of faith, hope an
love. The lucky one in the Uncle-Remus
stories which you read when you were"
a child, and the lucky men in the stories
which you read during the hero-worship
days of your life, were the ones who al-
ways accomplish what they wanted to
■do. We all have a purpose, w« are
standing for something. When jre, by
exorcising the combination of hope, faith
and love, get this something for \vhreh:
we are striving then we will be luckyf
Miss Walker in carrying out this idea
read Kipling's "When Earth's Last Pic-
tures Are Pajnted."

WORK IN EUROPE
FORMER STUDENT "GOES TO TRY

Texas Author With Harper Bros.—'To
Cover the Known World in
Eleven Weeks."
Paul Fortier Jones, author of "With
Serbia into "Exile," and several articles
that have appeared in The Century Mag-
azine in 1916 1917 and 1918, sailed Sat-
urday on the Mauretania for Europe in
the employ of Harper and Brothers and
the McClure's Syndicate, "which is a
connection -of theirs."
Jones was in Southwestern the years
1909-10 and 1910-11, receiving his A. B.
degree at State University, of which in-
stitution his father, Dr. S. J. Jones, was
a regent. His father was once a pro-
fessor in Southwestern, retiring to es-
tablish the Thomas Arnold High School
at Sal ado.
Since the beginning of the war Jones
has had a very interesting life. He was
one of twenty-five volunteers composing
a relief commission sent out by Colum-
bia University to Serbia in the early
days of the conflict. Here he gathered
material forvhis book, "With Serbia in-
to Exile." /
He did not return with the commis-
sion but wandered into Italy where he
was befriended by literary people, 'among
them being the American Ambassador,
Thomas Nejson age.
Next he is heard from in Russia as

Dr. J. C. Granbery, Professor of Soci-
ology and Economics since 1914, who has
been absent on l&vvc in the capacity of
a Y. M. C. A. secretary the past two
years, writes from Rome, enroute to
Attiens, where his duties now call him:
"I reached the Imperial City (that is,
the Eternal City, I believe they say),
this morning, -on my way to Athens,
Greece, for Y. M. C. A. work in the
Greek army. I had completed a lec-
ture tour to French soldiers in the Pal-
atipate (Germany)- and was just finish-
' « series in Alsace, when a letter
from D. A. Davis, of the Foyers
flat, asking me whether, as I

etsUwfria on a long trip through Metz and
LflRtfinllfeoiirg, I went witfh her, returning
■t'hroufthr the devastated area, taking de-
jeuner in Verdun, and passing through
Dune-sur-Meuse arfd the country where
I had sperit nearly a year during the
war.
"My month and.a half spent in Ger-

the most interesting since T have been

"Since I began this letter I have been
on a"~ sight-seeing trip; am astonished
to find the ancient remains in such a
state" of preservation and am deeply im-
pressed with their vastness and dignity:
the Forum, the Pantheon, etc.
' "The Y. M. C. A. has, on th'e whole,
treated us both very squarely. Of
course, there have been annoyances, but
there1 can be no doubt about the fact that
the Yr M. C. A. has taken a wonderfully
strong hold on Europe; for example,
here in Italy it is a big thing. It is just
what these nations need; a strong moral
but non-confessional organization. Mrs.
Granbery and I had an< interesting con-
ference with M. Venizelos last Saturday.
He is behind the Y. M. C. A. and of his
own accord wrote me a letter of intro-
duction to the Mayor of Athens.

demolishing of old club
house proceeds rapidly
With l)r. Godbey as professor of tFie
newly established course in house wreck-
ing and a large and interested class as
the beginners, the demolition of the old
club house on Snyder Field is being ac-
complished. Most of the work is being
done by student labor, who are contri-
buting tneir work toward getting a new
gym. The roof has been removed off the
greater part of the old building and the
removing of the rafters and beams will
come next.
Just as soon as the old building is
out of the way, work on the gym will
begin and a new gym will be on hand
next fall.
S. U. TO BE REPRESENTED
AT TENNIS MEET MAY 23-24
Tournament to Decide Teams to Be
Concluded Tuesday, if Weather
Conditions Permit
S. U. is to be represented at the
Seuthwestern lennis Meet to be held at
Austin, May 23-24. Teams from Texas,
Oklahoma^ Louisiana and Arkansas are
eligible to enter the contest. Southwest-
ern will probably send two teams and
hopes to have an even better standing
than she had last year in the Meet.
Owing to the inclemency of the wea-
ther anu the absence of good courts, ten-
nis practice has' been somewhat delayed.
The tournament to decide the teams to
be sent to AyStin was started only last
week and li/is not yet been completed
on account (of the rains, but will be
finished Tuesday if the courts are suffi-
ciently dry. (
SOUTHWESTERN STUDENTS
CELEBRATE VICTORY
d^. bishop declares holiday
1 in honor of t. i. a. a.
champions
Tuesday evening the girls in the Wo-
man's Building had scarcely finished
dinner before the court of the building
was filled with boys. Led by Leslie
Boone, they were giving yells for the
ball team, the victory,i Southwestern and
a "holiday with "the old" fire." Dr. Bi-
shop upon their request granted Wednes-
day morning a holiday, celebrating our
championship in baseball in the Texas
Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Af-
ter a short rally, the boys proved to all
Georgetown they were proud of their vic-
tory by a regular old time shirt tail pa-
rade.
The celebration began Wednesday
morning about eight-thirty o'clock. Ail
the students gathered at the Woman's
Building, formed a long parade and
marched to town. They circled the
square singing, screaming and giving
yells and then marched into the picture
show.
Leslie Boone took charge of the rally
Jfchere and had the coach and each base-
ball man to make a short speech. After
quite a number of peppy speeches, Mr.
Goodlett put on a special show for the
students including a most interesting
reel of. Southwestern students taken in
1912.
chemistry class investi-
gates round rock lime kiln
As a regular part of the college
course, quite as essential- and impor-
tant, although a little different and
more interesting than th<3 usual labora-
tory work, Dr. Godbey accompanied his
chemistry class of about forty-four stu-
dents, on a "first-hand" laboratory in-
vestigation to the lime kiln at Round
Rock last Friday afternoon. The en-
tire party left the Science Building in
cars about 2:30 that afternoon and
went direct to the kiln where the ob-
servations began. The party proceeded
all through the plant making minute
observations while Dr. Godbey explain-
ed every detail in the process from the
immense furnaces where the limestone
was heated to the packing of the slaked
lime in barrels ready for shipping.
Prof. Tinsley, who had come along to
help Dr. Godbey "chaperone," even ex-
plained the formation and strata of the
rock where the limestone was mined.
Wlien every student could tell exactly
how the whole process was done and
when everyone was satisfied that all
sights had been seen* the train af cars
proceeded homeward. On the way homo
the party stopped by the San Gabriel
river and, as a refreshment from the
dust and stifling lime, the crowd of in-
quisitive scientists enjoyed a1 delightful
swim in the pool. Before leaving for
home a real picnic luncheon, which had
been prepared by the girls of the class,
was spread and everyone partook. When
each person had eaten all the sand-
wiches he could and each had crammed
his pockets with cake and fruit, the ride
home was the next thing. The party
reached "home" about 8 o'clock, the
entirec lass Voting this the mast delight-
ful piece of laboratory work they had
ever done and declaring their willing-
ness to try this one experiment over in
order to make it more perfect if pos-
sible.

PIRATES WIN
T. I. A. A. PENNANT
close season on snyder field
by taking second game
from trinity 5-3
The Pirates made a clean sweep of the
two-game series with Trinity University
thus cinchiug the championship of T.
1. A. A.
The game was fast and snappy. Lowe,
doing mound duty for the Pirates, pitch-
ed steady and consistent ball, allowing
only five scattering hits. His work at
the bat was also an important factor in
the defeat of the Trinitorians. He broke
the 3 ijto 3 tie which confronted the Pir-
ates in the eighth by driving one over
second with one on.
Herrera, Baker, Young, Call and Wil-
son got two hits each.
Howell, Trinity short-stop, showed up
l>etter than any one who has staged
that position on Snyder Field this sea-
son. He is a sure fielder and reliable hit-
ter. In fact Trinity has a club made
up of real baseball players and it was
by no means a walk-over.
This game closed the season on Snyder
Field. Southwestern lost to only one
T. I A. A .team here this year. Every
team in the state has suffered -.one or
more defeats at the hands of the Pirates
except Texas University which game re-
sulted in a scoreless tie. Texas Chris-
tian University, the closest contender for
T! I. A. A. championship, went down in
three out of the ^Ipur games with the
Pirate crew.
Batteries for Southwestern—Lowe and
Harris.
Trinity—Irvin, Middleton and Fen-
cher_
Umpire—Goodlett.

College Station, Texas, May 19.—The
Farmers showed improved form today
and defeated Southwestern University

of eight hits off Edens, while Daniels,

ties. Baker for Southwestern did some
sensational work in the right field gar-
den. The same teams play here tomor-
row for the final game of the season.

MERCHANT OF VENICE
FRIDAY, MAY 30TH
shakespearean comedy to be
given by college cast—
'the play's the thing'
c
The Shakespearean comedy to be pre-
sented by the class of Dramatic Art, un-
der the directorship of W. Dwight
Went/, is rapidly developing into shape
for presentation. Each member of the
cast has worked very faithfully and with
determination to forget themselves for
a time and become the character he or J>
she is to represent. The one big idea
that has been closely followed is "the
play's the thing," and the players as a
whole and individually Jiave endeavored
to produce the atmosphere of the <play
and thus overcome some of the incon-
veniences of a rather poorly suited stage
equipment. Costumes have been order-
ed and they will lend to the play the pic-
turesque Venetian air that dominates the
story.
Miss Laura Courtney as Portia, Char-
les Pepper as Bassanio, Lester Luechau-
er as Antonio and Mr. Wentz as Shv-
lock are putting life into these leading
roles and making them appear as real
people, full of the feeling, the tragedy,
the wholesomeness of these truly'great
characters.
The minors characters are also endea-
voring to put themselves into the nla.y
realizing that every person in a. Shakes-
pearean production is important, and
that only team work and a complete un-
derstanding of the lines can in nnv de-
gree do justice to this well known com-
edy.
With the exception of the court scene
and a scene or two from Portia's home
at Belmont, the play will take place in
-street scenes and here it will he possiWo
to give the necessary note of the Veneti-
an setting.
The date of the plav is Fridnv even-
ins:, May 30. The cast of characters is:
