We are glad to see the famil-
iar faces of so many students of
1S10-11 back at th 1 Normal for
the summer term. No doubt each
one is fired with the determina-
tion to reach the goal set for
himself at the beginning of the
fall term, Here’s hoping that he
may!
Special prices on Ladies white
wash skirts. Adams cash store.
With the opening of the sum-
mer session comes the golden
opportunities for the Normal
students to improve themselves.
Nine months of hard, successful
labor has just slipped by bring-
ing certificates and diplomas to
some and to others the all too
significant words ’’flunked” o»*
“busted,” This, however is not
the final dictum of fate, for
many of them are coming again
this summer. This is the stuff
of which conquerors are made—
the ability to “come back.” Na-
poleon and Lee both met their
reverses before their respective
Waterloo? came, but those brave
old warriors “came back”, un-
daunted. Cheer up all ye who
“flunked” or “busted” there are
better times in store for you.
New shipment of Ladies black
voile skirts. Adams cash store.
“Trip it lightly as you go
On the light fantastic toe.”
This is artistic—“foot it flatly.”
Here’s another—“On with the
dance; let joy be unconfined.”
These choice morsels we give as
specimen quotations which might
adorn the walls of Miss Hines’
class room.
“Walk-over shoes” for men
sold exclusively by Adams.
It pays to pay cash. That’s
why Adams sells for less.
The Home Coming
and Commencement.
It is maintained by those who
know that work i- a factor of the
highest order in bringing about
a brotherly feeling or friendship
toward one another. Normal
schools mean work, work, work.
On May 13th of this year those
who had the good fortune to at-
tend the first Home Coming of
our school saw an illustration of
friendship that was brought
about by a year of work in our
beloved Normal. Some 500 stu-
dents were here and the effusive
greetings that were passed about
could leave no doubt about their
true feelings for one another.
Home Coming day was started
off by the societies. Each so-
ciety had its hall decorated in its
colors and at some early hour in
the afternoon held a meeting for
the benefit of the Home Coming
society members. After this
short time passed everyone con-
gregated at the Fish Hatcheries
to view the intricate gyrations
performed by Miss Hines’s “P.
C.” classes, (and oh! yes, the
Harris Hines Orchestra furnish-
ed the music! Say, you ought
to have heard that. It has a
wonderful record, too. Why, in
three weeks it ranked second
among the musical organizations
of America. Great thing? You
bet.) One could not have view-
ed those exercises without being
impressed by one, the “spelling
game.” They spelled HARRIS
in the good old way (didn’t need
any diacritical marks to it,
either.) No comment is neces-
sary—it touched our hearts.
Monday was Class Day. The
lordly Seniors made their last
appearance and willed over their
dignities, tribulations, and use-
less, bothersome things to the
Juniors. The auction and class
prophecy were amusing and in-
teresting to all. That bright af-
ternoon the Normal Base Ball
Team had the honor of defeat-
ing the San Marcos Baptist
Academy by the score of 3 to 2
The S. M. B. A. had never lost
but one game and they disputed
that. They could not dispute
this game—and they held the
championship of Southwest Tex-
as! The German Play that night
was fine—they always are. But-
tons are bothersome.
Tuesday—last day--and exit.
Mr. Harris made a talk, and
since the governer could not
come we were only too overjoy-
ed to get our diplomas and cer-
tificates at the hands of that
grand man. F. G. E.
