pus. The Senior Class started
the good work by presenting to
the University fifty trees. This
spirit has become infectious as
Mood Hall has also planted trees.
But while trees will, in future
years add much to the appearance
of the campus, yet there are
many things that might be done
now; for instance, the building
of walks, the putting in of pro-
per drains, grading, sodding
and the removal of unsightly
rubbish and piles of rocks.
It is especially appropriate that
1 something along this line be
done now in order that the cam-
pus may look its best duiing the

You have heard it said, "He
that tooteth not his own horn
verily it shall not be tooted."
Although this is the Senior
Class Edition of the Megaphone
yet it is not the purpose of the
^editors to "toot up" the Senior
Class; (it doesn't need it) but
to present the news of the week
in an attractive manner a3 far
as they are able.
GRADUATE RECITAL.
Last Monday evening Miss
Josephine Field, assisted by
Miss Madge Hendry as soloist
and accompanist, gave her
graduating recital. Miss Field
proved herself a very accomp-
lished violinist.
The recital was attended by a
very select and appreciative
audience.
PHI DELTS ENTERTAIN.
IKfetfi
v
Last Saturday evening the
local chapter of Phi Delta Theta
j?ave an informal reception.
TThe evening was spent at forty-
two. Light refreshments were
-served. Among those present
were: Dr. Hyer, Dr. and Mrs.
.Allen, Miss Brooks of Dallas,
Mr. J. F. Dobie.
Last Saturday was declared a
holiday and a track meet was
held between the two literary
societies.
This marks an advance in col-
lege athletics; as ordinarily only
a few participate, this brought
out many "grads" and showed
up some good material. Much
interest was taken in the meet.
Those who entered, may at any
time between now and Com-
mencement lower their record,
and thus increase the number of
points for their society.
The Alamos won the meet by
a score of 1311 to 1023. They
(the Alamos) average, 27 points
per man, while the San Jacintos
averaged 24.
Those winning , the largest
number of points were: T. R.
Stanford, 105; Voight, 97; Keene
88; Hagard, 79; McMillan 76;
Mayo 68; H. Ayres 68. Lack
of space prevents a more detail-
ed account.

ern by a score of 6 to 0 Thurs-
day afternoon. Batteries for S.

GRAD PARTY.
Miss Mary Belle Mulford en-
tertained the Senior Class last
Wednesday evening. A very
pleasant time was spent at
forty-two. Owing to the fact
that it was a. jumped-up affair
many of the Seniors were unable
to attend.
I have proved my faith by my i
works, for had it not 'been for 1
the faithful and prompt atten-
tion the girls have given to the
Sou'western's claim this year, |
the editor would have been ex-!
tremely embarassed. The man-
agement has decided to have
one hundred and fifty copies
bound in flexible leather. Al-
most one hundred and fifty per-
sons have already exprfessed a ,
wish for leather binding. The
leather edition will retail at $2.50. ;
If you who have subscribed for a j
cloth binding, or have not yet I
suoscribed for any kind, youif will
see the business manager, Mr. i
W. C. House, at once, he will be!
glad to take your subscription
for a leather binding He will
| not order any more leather
bound copies than the number
of those who in advance (right
now) express a wish for such.
Why not take a leather binding?
A parlor copy is twice as hand-
some in leather as in cloth.
Moreover, a leather bound An-
nual will stay, together more
than twice as long as a cloth
bound one. This being the case,
why should we Jot the difference
of fifty cents in the price keep
us from ordering a leather bound
copy? But remember you have
to order leather at once, if you
get it. See Mr. House, or drop
him a card. It is presumed that
all, unless it is the girls, can see
him almost any day. Some ar-
rangements may be made with
Mrs. House by which he may
dare! to approach the girls in
the halls on the sujbect of the
Sou'wester. V
