THIS NORMAL STAR
Y. W. C. A. A LIVE WIRE
In last week’s issue of the Star it
was told that the Y. W. C. A. sent
off the debaters with a very good and
beautifully bedecked box of candy.
Since then we have been told that it
was exceptionally good because it
helped Dick Hays to keep awake on
his trip to Commerce. The “Y.”,
also made candy for our debaters who
fought the battle on the home field.
The Y. W. C. A. is full of school
spirit and is planning something sur-
prising—Ti Rof" Hctaw. At the meet-
ing Wednesday afternoon Miss Wini-
fred Thalman presided. Miss Kath-
erine Sheehan gave a very interesting
and instructive talk upon the Wesley
House and the Y. W. C. A.’s work
at the International Institute in San
Antonio. Miss Helen Cruse rendered
service a short, business session en-
sued when work for the Pedagog, and
•—but that’s a profound secret—were
discussed. If you want to find out
the meaning of this secret allow your
natural instinctive curiosity to con-
duct you to the Y. W. next time it*
meets which will be next Wednesday
afternoon, and if you believe in good
fairies and can keep a secret, possi-
bly you will be enlightened.

defeat. Mr. Swinson then made a
fitting reply to Mr. Birdwell’s wel-
come . Closing the dinner was a
short, humorous toast rendered by
Mr. Harrison.

HARRIS-BLA5R BOYS HAVE
SPRING FEVER
(Continued from Page 1)
to make arrangements for the annual
banquet given by this society during
the spring term of each school year,
Everyone is looking forward with
great pleasure to this eventful oc-
casion as it promises to be one of the
best ever held during the annals oi
the Southwest Texas State Normal
either before or since it has become
a college. One of the main features
of this year’s toasts for the occasio i
is the historic nature that is expected
to prevail since the eighty fifth anni-
versary of the brittle of San Jacinto
is to be celebrated. Other numbers
or the program will very appropriate-
ly partake of this year’s college ac-
t’vities. It is certain all of the boys
of this society are carefully consider-
ing the many various attractive quali-
ties of the Normal girls of their
acquaintance and are j certain to
have the particular fair one of their
choice with them to participate in
the festivities of the evening.
There were a number of other
interesting things that happened
Monday at the meeting of the Harris-
Blair, for example, the excellent
extempore speech delivered bf Mr.
Bachle, who because of the many
duties connected with the editing of
ihe Pedagog, has found it impossible
to be with us regularly this year.
It must be said that the regular pro-
gram was one of excellent merit anti
was heartily enjoyed by all. The
affirmative of the Debate on the
Kansas Industrial Court was ably
presented by Mr. La Beauve, who is
looming up as a man of great
possibilities in the debating world,
and by Mr. Barrow, who is fast prov-
ing himself alit ost as expert in this
field of work as he is in the field of
wind instruments. Both debators
showed careful preparation and de-
serve mention for their diligence in
preparing such good debates in so
short a time. The negative was
skillfully argued by Mr. Voiding, a
veteran of several forensic contests,
and Mr. Hammon, who is somewhat
unknown to us as a debator but is
fast proving himself worthy of con-
sideration. The affirmative was suc-
cessful in convincing the judges that
they had the best of the argument.
This was probably because they
seemed to have a little more informa-
tion on the subject altho it must be
said that it was not any more ably
presented. . j *y
The Harris-Blair Male Quartette
favored the society with an appro-
priate selection, and as usual made
the other members feel like there
was something good in male quar-
tet! music that cannot be gained
from any other kind of music. The
number was so interesting that Mi.
Woodson had to say as he came up
to give his excellent address on Mi.
Burbank that it “sounded like more.”
The short biography of Mr. Luther
Burbank was very instructive and
interesting to all of the boys in
every detail and it would not be at ail
surprising if some member present
did not attempt to improve on the
wonderful achievements of the sub-
ject of this article. No doubt quite
a number of the boys are fond of
prunes and also of plumbs, and surely
all are interested in one or more of
the hundreds of accomplishments of
this great man.
The program for next Monday
promises to be as full of treats foi
those interested in the vital things of
the day. Come out.

THE BAND
the other is a former member. We
consider ourselves fortunate to have
with us this year such an accomplish-
ed slide trombone player as Mr. Ba--
row. He does not stop with a slide,
but plays all the horns he comes in
contact with, which makes him a
valuable asset in the event the leader
happens to be late as sometimes is
the case.
The baritone is so important that
no band can get along without it.
Mr. Ehle-rt is exactly the kind of a
man it takes for that instrument. He
played with us last year and we have
all learned to depend on him. We
refuse to play without him.
We fell proud of what we have ac-
complished . in the last two years and
we feel that the school is with us in
boosting our organization until it
climbs up into the class with the best
of college bands.
If South West Texas State Normal
College had a band which could make
annual tours like our athletic teams
do, and like the University band does,
it would speak loudly for our school.

FLASHES FROM TEXAS HISTORY
The band is still progressing nicety
and has a fine prospect for the
summer session. To have a good
band we must keep our former mem-
bers just as long as possible, and in
addition we must encourage musically
inclined boys and girls to enlist with
us. That is exactly what we are do-
ing. This summer the personnel of
the organization promises to remain
practically unchanged except for tH
addition of two young men, onfe
whom is now directing a band, while

Teachers and students are making
inquiry regarding the new Certificate
Law, and the Star is therefore giving
a brief statement.
Under the new Certificate Law, ef-
fective June 12, an elementary certi-
ficate of the first class, valid for
three years, is issued at the close of
