sibilities of government enough to
vote when the time comes for the selec-
tion of men to lead the destinies of
the nation.
The interest that the students in at-
tendance at the College this summer
have shown in voting by proxy or ra-
ther by sending for their ballots and
voting them, is a good indication of
the quality of the teaching staff in this
part of the state. Many of the stu-
dents here have sent back to their home
towns and have gotten their ballots and
returned them made out to be cast
for them in the coming election. This
ic a good sign for if the teachers
know that it is the right thing to al-
ways vote, although it causes a little
trouble and if they feel the respsonsi-
bility of government then it will nat-
urally follow that they will instill a
little of the feeling of citizenship res-
ponsibility into the students that they
will instruct.

SUBSCRIBE FOR THE STAR FOR
NEXT YEAR
One of the best admonitions that
can be suggested by the retiring editor
of the Star this summer is that the
students who are not going to be back
in school next year subscribe to the
College Star for next year. The Star
will be better next year than it has
-ever been before and will be one of
the best college sheets that will be
found among the collegiate publica-
tions of the state. Not only will it
be one <bf the best college papes of
the state but it will carry Id you the
news of your college and it will be the
most enjoyable investment that you
can make.
In the past the list of subscribers
from among the ex-students of the col-
lege has been very meagre and not
worthy of the great ex-student body
that goes out from the college each
year. The College Star next year will
make an effort to bring to all of the
prospective students of the college
and to the ex-students who subscribe
to it a real reflection of the college
life that is found in the Teachers Col-
lege. There will be more college spirit
in the school next year than has ever
been displayed in the past and the re-
markable improvements in the college
will be of interest to all of the stu-
dents who have passed through the
halls of the college.
In the College Star next year you
will be able to keep up with your as-
sociates of this year and with their
accomplishments. The athletic teams
of the college will be better next year
than ever beford and you surely want
to keep up with the Bobcats. Get the
correct and hot information about
those Bobcats from the columns of the
college paper.
The circulation of the College Star
ought to be a great deal gerater than
it has been in the past. There ought
to be 500 ex-students to subscribe to
the paper for the ensuing year. The
circulation of -the paper ought to be
1500 instead of 1000 that it has been
during the past year.
If you are to be in school next year
you ought to subscribe to the Star
to be sent to your home folks, for they
are interested in the progress of your
college as much as you are yourself.
Plans are being worked out for a bet-
ter paper and one that will be a credit
to the growing school and to the stu-
dents in the school. Do your part to
.send this paper out over the state and
advertise the school you are from. It
will repay you a hundred fold to pay
:$1.50 to the Star and have the paper
■sent to you. You will enjoy it and
"benefit from it.
If you want to keep up with the Col-
lege next year, call by the Star office
■and place your subscription for next
year. It will give you more pleasure
than any other dollar and a half that
you will spend next year.

; VOTING
The interest of all classes of voters
in the elections to state and national
governmental offices is an indication
of the future of the government. If
the interest is such that all want to
cast their votes then it is safe to pre-
dict victory to the issues that will make
for the improvement of the government
and success for the men who stand
for the principles of right and justice
to ail.
The primary object of the efforts
of the teacher in the public schools
of the state is to make the citizens
better in every way possible and one
of teh most important jobs of the tea-
cher is the training qr the youth of the
state for beter citizenship. They can-
not train the coming generation for
better citizenship unless they them-
selves are better citizens than the av-
erage. One of the primary duties of
the teacher and of the citizen in any
walk of life is to feel the respon-
In the heat of the mid-summer wea-
ther that has pervaded the city and
surrounding country for some time past,
it is the sole and uppermost aim of all
who can afford the aim, to leave the
sultry hot of the city and seek shelter
in the recesses of some shady resort.
The call of the open road is strong
upon the lovers of the outdoors and
the sports of the summer resorts.
Quite a few of these tourists pass
through San Marcos and not a small
number select this as the place in which
to rest awhile from the heat of the
road.
People pass through the city from
all parts of the state. The southern-
ers go to the north in an effort to get
to cooler climates, and the people of
the north come south in search of cool
streams and shaded parks. All want
to go somewhere and whether they go
to the north or to the south most of
them who traverse the highways of
Texas, pass through the city of San
Marcos, as it is situated on the most
important highway in the state and is
noted wherever resorts are noted, as
a good place in which to pass a night,
or as a good place to find the clearest
bathing resort in the state.
Coming into San Marcos in any di-
rection the tourist first rests his eyes
upon the spires of the college and as
first impressions are usually lasting
ones he probably remembers the col-
lege longest of any of the things that
he sees while here. As he crosses the
San Marcos river going either to the
state capital or to the state’s largest
metropolis, he cannot help seeing the
college bathing resort and its excel-
lent equipment. As he tS|&ks that this
is a nice place for the sSidents of the
college to enjoy themselves though the
heat of the summer stiffles people ev-
ery wher else, his opinion of the Teach-
ers College begins to grow. He tries
to think where he has seen a college
bathing resort before and tries in vain
for he invariably comes to the conclu-
sion that he has never before known a
college that furnished a bathing resort
for its students, nor can he recall hav-
ing seen many places during his en-
tire itinerary that surpassed in natur-
al beauty the resort of the Teachers
College.
He remembers the bathing resort of
the college and advertises it when he
tells of the beauty spots of his trip.
Thus the rollege gets advertised and
the city is advertised and the credit
must be given to the bathing resort.
The college resort has a future that
is bright in the extreme. Work is go-
ing on now for the beautification of the
island and the stream on both sides
of it and in the course of a few years
it is the purpose of the administration
of the college to spend enough money
on the resort to make it the most beau-
tiful in this part of the state. It will
have more trees and the banks will
be made more attracttive. It will make
a park as well as a resort and the
Teachers College will have one of its
most valuable assets in the resort. Not
only will it be the only college resort
but it will be the prettiest place in
which to relieve the drab monotony of
the summer that can be found any-
where.
MRS. ANNA MYHAND COX, B.A.
Anna Myhand came to SWTTC from
her home at Runge, Texas, in 1921-22.
She taught the next year. But like
many of the rest of our students the
ambition for higher education had be-
come so thoroughly a part of her that
she was back with us again struggling
on the upward way last summer. She
came back again at the first of the
winter term and because of her su-
perior abilities and willingness to
work she is finishing her degree work
this summer.
Anna has not only done her school
work creditably and well, but has ta-
ken part in YWCA and other activi-
ties, but she has had enough “off
time” to participate in a happy ending
romance. She and Thomas E. Cox,
also a student of our school, were
married last January.
Mr. and Mrs. Cox are going to teach
at Cost next year. We wish them all
the success in the world, and we fee!
sure that they will make good.

The Senior
The Seniors had their annual water-
melon gorge at Rogers park Tuesday
afternoon and evening.
EUCIEE KING, B. A.
Lucile King finished the Wharton
high school and because of her ambi-
tious inclinations, chose SWTTC in
which to do her college work. During
her stay in San Marcos she has had
the distinction of belonging to the
“Garth Gang” which is enough to iden-
tify any girl.
Eucile is a Latin shark. She can
conjugate verbs, in the old tongue,
backwards to say nothing of her abili-
ty to read about Cisero. This senior’s
record shows that she is a real stu-
dent in all her work, having a long
string of “A’s”.
Lucile has not given all of her at-
tention to her books but has belonged
to the German lub, the Welfare Coun-
cil, and the YWCA. In all of these
organizations she has never failed to
give all the effort it takes to make
them go. As secretary of the seniors
she has proved her efficiency and abili-
ty in “keeping the books straight.”
Those who have come in contact
with her have admired her ability to
work, her kind disposition and her
undying school spirit. Lucile is to be
head of the Latin department in the
Kingsville high school next year. We '
are wishing the greatest of success
to her as a teacher.

Work has really started on the long
looked for Bigger and Better Evans
Field. A number of teams are at work
moving the dirt and in a short time
the profile of the field will take on
an appearance other than a hillside.
The /Seniors could not put one by
the faculty for they took a short out-
ing and picnics at New Braunfels
Wednesday. .
It is rumored that the Sophs have
raked up enough courage to chal-
lenge the senior five for the basketball
championship of the summer session.
The Sophs by virtue of their win over
the Juniors are entitled to play the
Seniors who won over the Wharton
county five very decisively. The Whar-
ton men have since subdued the fresh-
men aggregation all of which adds to
the laurels of the intellectual seniors.
From the many long faces that were
seen on the hill last Wednesday it
was evident that some of the teachers
had not lived up to the expectations
of some of the students.
There were very few of the students
to be found who were willing to ad-
mit that they had gotten more than
they deserved but there were plenty
of the variety who had not gotten
what they expected.
It seems a shame to fail anyone who
has the stickability and the desire for
an education strong enough to stay

through the hot months of the summer

tion, but it seems that it must have
been necessary in some of the cases,
judging by the long faces that were
seen Wednesday.
The athletic men of the college are
talking football already and are discus-
sing the prospects for the TIAA cham-
pionship for next year. It is noised
abroad that there will be a wealth of
new material and most of the old back
and that with the new field ought to
make the supporters of the favorite
college pastime look to the opening of
the Fall term with increased interest
and enthusiasm.
Many of the students are expecting
to see the “hooded crew’ parade next
'Monday night. The K.K.K. it is ru-
mored will put on a show for the city
of San Marcos that has not been equal-
ed in some time.

We are wondering if any of the profs
and prominent studes will be recog-
nizable in the regalia of the parade.
How many of the summer students
are going to subscribe for the Star
to be sent to them next year at their
teaching address. Read the editorial on
subscribing for the College paper in
