SOPHS THE FIST
TEAM TO WI OFF
SOMMER NORMAL
The unconquerable spirit of the old
red and blue is still on an irresistable
rampage and the walls of Mr. Arnold’s
room have a hard time spuelcbing the
indomitable spirit turned loose each
Monday morning as orator after orator
expounds on subjects, literary, social,
and economical. At the last meeting
Hoy Chaddick was tried before one of
the highest courts in the land for wast-
ing his time on Normal hill in long
conversations with the women. It was
brought out in th& trial that Mr. Chad-
dick pleaded guilty finally, after he
saw that the evidence was going
strongly against him. At one time it
seemed as if a fight could not be avoid-
ed. Mr. Stroman who was counsel for
the state and Mr. Morrow, who was
counsel for the defense passed one of
the warmest dialogues ever seen in a
cofirt room. The two young men were
separated however, before serious
harm was done.
Be on hand, next Monday morning
as something exciting is certain to hap-
pen. At the last meeting the room
was crowded and if you desire a seat
at the next meeting come early. Don’t
forget, next Monday morning at 9 a. m.

Y.W. AND Y.M. NEWS
UNDEFEATED SUMMER NORMAL
TEAM GOES DOWN IN DEFEAT
BEFORE THE SUPERB PITCH-
ING OF JERRY PHILIPPS
For some years it has been the am-
bition of Mr. and Mrs. Sewell and a
number of other members of the facul-
ty and certain of our students here to
give every one who cannot swim the
very best opportunity to learn. The
Normal is envied by all other colleges
in Texas in its possession of “River-
side”, there being certainly no other
school with a swimming pool either
natural or artificial, that approaches
ours in quality and location. We be-
lieve that for a “good honest-to-good-
ness” swim we have the best in the
United States.
This summer there are 390 girls tak-
ing swimming for physical education
and 120 boys, a total of 510. Practically
half of these knew how'to swim when
they entered and the other half have
almost without exception been taught
that very important prerequisite.
This accounts for a little less than
one third of the student body. Many
of the remaining twelve or thirteen
hundred come down to Riverside for
an occasional swim. Many of_ them
however must be content with just a
simple little old splash because they
have, not learned the art of swimming,
without which a swimming hole cannot
really be enjoyed to the fullest extent.
It is in the interest of those students
that a well organized effort will be
made to get every one in the Normal
who cannot yet swim to come to River-
side and be taught.
In order to avoid onecessary conges-
tion the following plan has been
adopted:
First, Students who are in the Sum-
mer Normal are asked to come next
week and the credit students the fol-
lowing week. This does not effect stu-
dents who are taking swimming regu-
larly for physical education. It is on-
ly an attempt to give to the Summer
Normal students, who will be busy with
examinations the week following a fair
chance to take time to actually come
down and learn.
Second, Those Who already know
how to swim are asked as far as pos-
sible to clear the shallow patr of the
pool in order that the work of in-
struction may go on 'unhindered.
Third, All are expected to conform
to the regulations in regard to dress
and deportment.
As to how you are to learn to swim,
there will be a whole corps of swim-
ming instructors on hand. You can
take your choice.
Mr. Sewell is always there. Hfe has
already taught 100 this summer and
hopes to run his total up to 250 during
the next two weeks. He _ will give
anyone the most careful individual at-
tention. His success as a teacher has
been phenominal. If you have tried
and just couldn’t learn how, go to Mr.
Sewell. He is a specialist in teaching
those who are afraid to risk them-
selves to the water.
Mr. Smith has promised to be down
every afternoon and he is, anxious to
teach as many as possible. During
the last three summers he has k'fept

The Sophomores took advantage of
an early lead and played perfect ball
behind the pitching of Philipps, beat-
ing the Summer Normals, never be-
fore defeated, 4 to 3. This game tended
to bind the teams of the league closer
together and a hot run-off is predicted
by some who witnessed the game Wed-
nesday. The Sophomores raised their
average to 400 with yesterday’s game
and look like world beaters despite
the loss of Ridgeway.
Philipps pitched a heady game, never
allowing the Summer-Normal outfit to
get out of his control. He eased up
in the seventh and allowed the boys to
hit a few, which, with the errors that
cropped out netted the boys three runs.
Kellam was the big stick artist of
the Sophomores. The score:
Every student give heed unto this
and act accordingly! The Y. M. C. A,
of the Normal is going to give for the
students another one of those “Big
Gym Nights”. What about basket ball
in the summer time?' We will have
the privilege of seeing a fast basket
ball game played by the two best teams
in Normal. The girl’s baseball teams
will have a snappy game of indoor
baseball. There is to be a track meet
afterwards. It is also rumored that
ice cream cones in great numbers will
be there. Come and see Miss Hearne
“at the stick.” These are some samples
of the fun you will get to enjoy at the
“Y. M. Student Night.” Be sure and
present your blanket tax for entrance.
Admission for non-Normalites and
those who have no blanket tax will be
fifteen cents.
Boys, make your dates!
Girls, “tell ’em .about it!”
The date is August 5th.

OF THE WAY; POCHMAN HAS
HIS DAY WITH THE STICK
During the past week the newest ca-
talog of the Southwest Texas Normal
College has been available to old stu-
dents by applying for one at the reg-
istrar’s office. If you want to see one
immediately you may do so by going to
the library and looking at the one there
that is kept on file. The catalogs will
not be distributed broadcast. You may
secure one only by applying for one
at the registrar’s office and leaving
your address there in order that it may
be sent to you.
The new issue is truly a fit repre-
sentative of the Normal; it sets forth
the standards and ideals set and held
by the institution. Many students never
spend any time in carefully studying
the school catalog, for they consider
it that much time wasted, because they
feel that they know about all there is
to be known about this school. By
thinking in this way they often make a
great mistake. We have seen students
who were so little acquainted with the
requirements, we will take for an ex-
ample the degree requirements, that
they had only a faint idea of what was
meant by a major or a minor. And
these are often students who have been
here more than a year; they have gone
through term after term, taking such
courses as the scheduling committees
suggested to them, never once worry-
ing about requirement^ and prerequi-
sites. At the end of the year they were
suddenly confronted with the fact that
they lacked a major, or that they have
not done a certain course which is re-
quired for a certificate or _ diploma.
Where is the trouble? Certainly, it is
not the fault of the committee on
schedules, for they cannot know what
courses students have had and what
courses they have not had by simply
looking at them. Unless anyone ac-
quaints himself with the particular bu-
siness in which he in concerned he will
soon be in a difficulty, and too many
students do not consider the fact that
Tuesday afternoon so the Juniors
and Sub-College enter into a game
which resulted in the defeat of the
Sub-College and rise of the Juniors to
the mark of 250. Jerry Philipps work-
ing on the mound was altogether too
much for the young heads on the Sub-
College team, and with the hitting the
team behind him did, it was easy to
register a 16 to 5 score. Poohman had
his day at the bat, annexing four out
of five trips to the plae. Herndon
showed some sensational fielding abili-
ty in right field.

sickness is a justifiation for absence

rs we look over the new catalog, nient of this regulation, count as two
note many striking particulars
which are new, and which deserve the
careful consideration of every student.
On the very cover of the catalog is a
note which immediately attracted our
attention. It is this: “The Southwest
Texas State Normal College, (This
Institution is a member of the Ameri-
can Association of Teachers College.)’
Have you noticed that? Do ypu know
absences, unless the student can offer a
satisfactory explanation for such ab-
sences.
Second, ATHLETICS.—To be elig-
ible to take part in inter-collegiate con-
tests, a student must meet the follow-
ing requirements: (a) He must be en-
rolled for ,at least four courses repre-
senting a minimum of twelve term-
hours of work exclusive of courses in

i two parts, with an intermission between
the parts. The first part will include
rendition of a collection of songs dat-
ing back to the Civil War. There will
be songs that we young people have
rarely heard and that some of us have
forgotten.
The intermission will be punctuated
by piano solos by Miss Stevens, selec-
tions by the normal band, and a flower
dance by Miss Mary Stuart Williams,
Miss Butler’s namesake.
The last part of the concert will in-
clude a rendition of negro songs with
make up. It will be a pleasure to hear
those old plantation melodies sung by
real singers. That the concert will be

have an excellent crew of instructors

you could find the world over when
you go down there and receive in-

So come out and learn to swim and
help the Normal tradition that no stu-
dent leaves the Normal without having
learned how to swim. That is the aim
we have never been quite able to ac-

and we need you and want you students
to help us in the realization and ac-
complishment of this aim.

half term of the summer session equal
to the number of term hours for which
the student is enrolled, the student
