work a field that was a little wider
and a little more helpful; and, that
the accomplishments of the Association
for the year would be even more and'
greater than had been anticipated. This
assemblage was ,indeed one of inspira-
tion.
Again the organization was obliged
to meet in room 9. But when
the “Y. M. room is completed,
this necessary hinderance will be
averted with just compensation. It may
here be officially announced that the
meetings, beginning Wednesday, will be
in the new room in the Northeast end
on the first floor of the Library build-
ing. So November 8th may be set in
History as the date of our first “Home
Coming.”
This evening at 8:00 o’clock, the
members of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A.
will meet at the college gymnasium for
a joint social that will be different
from any before, different in that it
will not be the regular “free for all” so-
cial that has been so common as a so-
cial feature in this institution; the par-
ticular feature of the social this even-
ing is that it is to be for members only.
If you have intentions of joining the Y.
M. C., do so before the social as only
those who have become active, or hon-
orary members will be admitted. It is
the purpose of the Cabinet to give ev-
ery man in the college and in the Nor-
rr' i High School a chance to become a
3 ember; if we have possibly overlook-
ed someone who is interested, make
yourself a little more conspicious, it
will help us as well.. We are inter-
ested in you because we want your
services. Will you lend us a reason-
able amount of your intellect and
brawn?
Jhe Decoration and Social commit-
lees of the two associations have been
working long hours to make the so-
cial a grand success; we can reward
them "by cooperating with them and by
taking advantage of their efforts.
Last Monday the Cabinet worked on
a financial budget. This has not been
completed and will not be made public
until it has been completed. But it
might be summed up to give the mem-
bers of the association an idea of what
it is doing. The amount of money to
be carried on the Y. M. budget for the
nine months will be several hundred
dollars. This is to be proportioned
over a field of committees such as:
the Program, Social,, Service, Mission-
ary, State, National, International, and
Publicity committees, a Contingent fund,
and a Room fund. A definite plan is
being drawn up to support this budget.
The Y. M. C. A. program for the
Star Week beginning November 4th Is
as follows:
Saturday 7:30 p. m.—Y. M. and Y.
W. Social at the College Gymnasium.
Monday 10:00 a. m.—Y. M. C. A. Ca-
binet Meeting in the New Hall.
Tuesday 7:30 p. m.^-Mexican Night
School.
Wednesday 10:00 a. m.—Regular
Meeting in the Y. M. C. A. room.
Thursday 2:30 p. m.—Playground
Supervision at Mexican School.
Thursday 7:30 p. m.—Mexican Night
School.
Saturday 2:30 p. m.—Playground

etc. Our Library now contains three
standard dictionaries, Bello y Cuervo,
“Gramatica Castellana”, A South Am-
erican author’s “Gramatica de la Real
Academia,” and Velasquez, “English-
Spanish, Spanish-English.”
The classical side of literature has
not been neglected. We now have
Tadrique, “Libros de los Enganos y
Assyamiento de las Mujeres (on the
deceits of women). So boys, you see
Spanish literature shows that women
have always been deceivers—but wait,
also in this classic selection is “Fray
Luis de Leon”, “La Perfecta Casada”,
(the Perfect Marriage), and before you
draw any conclusions be sure and read
the other side of the question. Other
classics of interest are Romancero,
“Cien Romances Escogidas”, (One
Hundred Collected Romances), Wilkins
and American author,” said of the
Spanish .Romances, “They afford some
of the finest exchanges of pure lyric
beauty that can be found in the Liter-
ature of any tongue.” Lope de Rueda,
“Obras”, 2 volumns, “iAuto de Los
Reyes Magos”, “Santa Teresa de ejsus”
by Torres Naharo, Juan Manuel, “Con-
de Lucanor”, (Arabian Nights) and
Andres de Gaula (first knighthood
story on which Don Quixote is based)^
are now upon the shelves.
Of special interest to many is the
increase of Spanish novels and essays.
Included among the essays are, Este-
banez y Calderon, “Escenas Andaluzas”,
Fernan .Cabellero, “Caudros de Cos-
tumbres”, Pareda, “Escenas Montane-
sas”. Some of Spain’s eminent nov-
elists are represented in Varela’s “Dona
Luz,” Valdes, “Jose” y “La Hermana
San Suplicio,” Galdos, “Dona Perfec-
ta”, Bazan “La Quinera”. Bazan was
the leader of the feminist movement
in Spain. She sent her daughter to
the University of Madrid the first girl
at the University. Probably the best
known to the majority of us are Blasco
Ibanez Novels. Ibanez is the author
of the .famous “Four Horsemen of the
Apocolypse”. Recently his “Los Cua-
tro Jinetes”, and “Sangre y Arena”,
(Blood and Sand) have been added.
These are new additions, which go
to show that the Spanish Department
is coming in for its share of the pro-
gress that the Normal in general has
made this last year.

“REPORTED MISSING” AT THE
PALACE THEATRE TONIGHT
That much-talked-of picture, “Re-
ported, Missing” comes to the Palace
Theatre tonight. This Selznick pic-
ture, in which Owen Moore is starred,
is reported to really be one of those
super-productions we hear so much
about but rarely see.
In one of the scenes of the play, a
race between a sea-sled and a hydro-
aeroplane, is said to give a special
thrill. Following this chase cames one’
on high powered autos. In this race
Owen Moore, in the part of' Richard
Boyd, stages a scene which is the
replica of those thrilling events that
fill the daily newspaper on summer
Mondays. In the endeavor to sweep
clear of a child in the path he swings
his machine over an embankment.
In addition to these thrills there is
a ship-wreck which contains a series
of remarkable sea scenes photographed
in a manner which vividly illustrates
the rapid artistic advance of the cinema.
Tom Wilson, one of D. W. Griffith’s
old stand-bys, is the prime motive a*
a lot of comedy scenes, in which he
attempts to wreak revenge on a group
of Orientals who are trying to do
away with his master, Owen Moore.
Pauline Garon furnishes the romance
and gives an excellent portrayal or a
young girl madly in love and intent
upon making herself the inspiration or
the man she adores. Owen Moore, the
lucky man, certainly needs the inspira-
tion in so far aS he is the absolute
limit as for not caring whether school

APPROPRIATE DRESS FOR
THE SCHOOL GIRL
(The first of a series of articles by
a class in Home Economics.)
Should anyone chance to come upon
a group of^ school girls who had been
left to their own devices in choosing
their costumes it is very probable that
a large majority of them would be
clad in clothes very inappropriate vin
style, color and material, and to the
wearer as well as to the occasion.
Almost daily girls may be seen com-
ing to school clad in silk or organdy
dresses, hats intended only for dress
wear and satin pumps with lace or
other fancy hosiery. These clothes
were never, never, intended for the
school girl.
It is natural for a girl to love beau-
ty. It is natural for her to want to
own and wear beautiful clothes but
when will she learn that what is beau-
tiful at an afternoon tea is not beauti-
ful at school and what is beautiful on
a _ wax figure in a department store
will not look well on her own figulre?
Yes, beauty is lawful, but appropriate
ness is always an element in beauty.
The outstanding reason for the in-
appropriateness of dress in school girls
arises from the fact that they fail to
make a distinction between fashion and
style. Fashion is that which comes
and goes and It is devised to satisfy
a whim or notion that is in vogue for
the time being. Style is that which
reveals the personality of the wearer
regardless of whether it follows the fad
or not. Every girl should find a style
that suits her best and “stick to it”,
striving always to dress daintily and
in accord with the occasion and her
station in life.
First, let us consider the dresses
needed by the average school girl. From
the appearance of many which we see
daily it would take a small fortune to
dress a family of more than one girl
and this should not be true. For
school wear she needs nothing more
than a few gingham dresses, supple-
mented by wool dresSes for winter
wear and middy suits of either linen
or wool. A dark skirt is convenient
tc wear with white middies or other
blouses but never with gaudy, heavily
beaded or embroidered georgette
blouses. Sport suits composed of
skirts with brightly colored sweaters
or coats should satisfy the girl who
has a taste for gay colors but if this
little girl is not very, very careful, she
will some day shock the critical world
by a pearing before it attired in her
well beloved sport suit of orange
topped by a flaming red hat • which
chanced to be convenient at the time.
This consideration of color brings up
the question of appropriateness of
color and design. A short time ago
a girl was observed on the street dress-
ed in a lovely pink gingham dress. The
dress was well made and designed with
insets of white. It was a beautiful
dress but this beauty and all the nat-
ural charm of the girl herself was lost
completely for the wearer was short,
very stout and crowned with a mass of
red hair. It created a horrible picture
and one’s sense of humor could not
keep them from recalling the elephant
at the circiuis whose back was covered
with a blanket which was red bn top
and faded to a sickly pink along the
lower edges. This should illustrate
what is meant by appropriateness of
color and design for no girl is appro-
priately dressed unless both color and
design bring out to the best advantage
the good features with which nature
has endowed her.
Another point to be considered in
the dress of the school girl is the com-
fort and healthfulness of the garment.
Not as much need be said on this sub-
ject as formerly. The flapper has been
roundly scored for many things but
she has done one thing which should
command the attention of all, and that
is, she has created healthful and com-
fortable styles. All her clothes hang
straight from the shoulder. She has
exiled the high heeled shoes and re-
placed tern with the sensible flat heels
which is the only thing for the school
girl..
The bobbed hair which we hear so
widely discussed on every side is after
all the most practical style of hair
dressing for the school girl as it re-
quires a minimum amount of effort
and time to care for it, BUT if it is
not becoming to a certain girl she
should, above all things, resist the
temptation to attempt wearing her hair
in that way, also because everyone is
wearing the hair in big puffes over the
ears is no excuse for the girl with the
“Ml moon” face wearing hers in that
fashion.
Ornaments which are a never failing
bone of contention between the mother
and daughter are not for school. Of
course daughter, like all other women,
loves jewelry, but she, like others,
must learn that jewelry like “loud” per-
fume tends to detract fro mthe natural
charm of the youthful wearer.
Thus we see that the keynote of ap-
propriate dress for the school girl is
simplicity, with the personality of the
wearer in view.

On Monday night the Shakespeare
girls from the Normal college, about
thirty-five in number, gathered at the
home qf Miss Mabel Morris for a de-
lightful Hallowe’en frolic. The house
was in gala attire with the Shakes-
peare colors added to the Normal and
Hallowe’en decorations. The pleasure of
initiating seven new members was en-
joyed. Brick ice cream and cake with
mints and favors in the prevailing col-
ors were an added feature to the en-
joyable evening.
