roll called. Winefred Thalmann of-

After this there was a general dis-
cussion of the party which is to be

given on the 18th of Feb. and several
committees were appointed and. set to
work. The program for this meeting
was postponed and the society was dis-
missed early in order that all the girls
might be able to meet the Gypsies at
the station when they returned from
their basket ball trip.
And, by the way, the Idyllics. made
up" the greater part qf those, loyal stu-
dents who were there to greet the girls.
A large nutoiber of the faculty was
present at the lecture delivered by Dr.
Mott at Austin Sunday. They report
that it was a very interesting lecture.
The Woman’s Faculty Club met
Wednesday with Mrs. Denman, for its
usual interesting session.

things that have been attempted and
that have been done with force. “Ger-
many, prior to the world war, believed
herself strong enough to conquer the
world. She used the power, the force
which she possessed to selfish pur-
poses, and she failed. Since the war,
attempts have been made to establish
peace by means of force; it too has
failed.
“What is the relation of force to our
present industrial situation? Force is
the industrial problem. The indust-
rial upheval, which we are experienc-
ing is due to a great extent by the pow-
er of the part of the employees balanc-
ed over and against the power of the
employers. So long as these two pow-
ers do not forget their selfishness
there can be no peace.
“The thinking people of the world
must come to the realization that to
have the welfare of their neighbor as
much at heart as their own is the only
maxim to follow in te promotion of
the principles of honesty and right-
eousnes, as Jesus Christ taught them
to us.” In speaking of this Dr. Splawn
said that he honestly believed that the
world is coming nearer and nearer its
“Millenium.”
In this movement Dr. Splawn point-
ed out the quiet work of the Y. M. C
A. and Y. W. C. A. He called our
attention to the quiet way in which
these organizations are going about
their work. The Student Volunteer
convention is one of the factors in this
movement of bringing the world to
its zenith.
Young people, you missed an excel-
lent address if you were not at the
vesper service; but if you1 did, do not
let it occur- again. Do not let any
meeting of the Student Volunteers slip
by without going to it. You will cer-
tainly hear and see something which
will be of benefit to you.

Marvin L. Deviney, B. S.
Mr. Deviney is one of the students
who graduated under the old course
of study then later came back to take
his degree with us when this Normal
became an accredited college. In the
mean time he taught at various places,
including his home town of Martin-
dale, where he served as principal last
year. It was during this year that he
met and married Miss Ether Lee Gam-
brell of Lockhart, also a student in
the Normal.
The beautiful new school building,
modern in every respect, at Martin-
dale, is a memorial to the untiring ef-
forts of Marvin Deviney in behalf of
I education among his home folks. It is
truly a sign of character when a man
can go back to his home town as prin-
cipal and induce those who know him
to spend their good money for educa-
tion. Incidentally, it is a sign of
good judgment on the part of the com-
munity.
In college Marvin Deviney has al-
ways been among the best in his clas-
ses. His record as an athlete hardly
surpasses his record in the registrar’s
office, althp he ranks among the pre-
mier athletes of the Normal of all
time. This is his record:
He graduated at Comal in 1913,
where he made a star on all the teams;
he played end on the pre-Bobcat foot-
ball team in 1913; was captain of the
track team in 1914; he was collegiate
champion, of Texas in the pole vault
(record 11 ft. 6)4 in.) from 1916 to ’20.
In addition to his college activities
Mr. Deviney has taught si:^ years, was
in active service in the army for sev-
enteen months being commisioned as a
second lieutenant in the field artillery.
He is twenty seven years old and the
thing he is proudest of in his record
is that all those who ever taught him
are still alive! That speaks well for
his behavior.
When he began teaching for the first
time, several large boys decided they
v/ould follow out their custom and
whip the teacher. They staged it in
the auditorium to show the whole
school how well they could dispose of
a Prof. Deviney messed up their show
pretty well, in fact he made good citi-
zens out of the whole crowd in a very
few minutes. This may serVe as
warning to his future pupils. He is
quiet and studious, and kind, but don’t
misunderstand him and get rough, he
will be a big surprise if you do.
This year while Mr. Deviney has
been taking the few remaining courses
in the Normal he has served as prin-
cipal of the West End school here in
San Marcos and has made his- usual
great success.
Whether he remains in San Marcos
or goes elsewhere next year, the best
wishes and kindest regards and con-
fident expectations of his many friends
here go with him.

WITH THEATRE PARTY

tions being roped off with red and
blue ribbons, the Harris-Blair colors.
After enjoying “The Witching Hour”
for an hour or more, spiced with a
comedy, the party went on to the Orien-
tal Confectionery where again they
found reserved seats awaiting them.
The refreshments consisted of ^ice
cream and angel food squares. Here
too, the Harris-Blair colors were in
prominence, but for not very long
It’s easy to guess; the icecream was
colered red and blue, so when the
party broke up everyone had red and
blue both inside and out.
The party was strictly an informal
one, no start being made in the speech
making line. In fact, the sergeant-at-
arms had been previously instructed
to hurl a missile at the first person who
even called for a speech.
The party given by the Harris-Blairs
Monday night was the first time such
a an entertainment has ever been given
in Normal, and that organization is to
be congratulated upon starting such a
novel form of recreation.

duplicate his work this season. Brow-
nie will probably play second or short,
and will be looked to to be one of the
mainstays in the Bobcat attack.
There seems to be no end to the
outfield material. There are enough
men out for each of the three positions
to make a good outfield; and Coach
has already found ou't that one of his
toughest problems is going to be to
sort these recruits out. Jeff Brassel,
the home-run king of last season, will
probably be seen again this year at-
his old position in left field, but there
is some talk of making a first baseman
out of Jeff, so we don’t know yet. But
wherever he plays he will still be at
the plate with his big stick, and we
expect to see him drive out many more
extra base hits into the outer gardens.
Several -of the men that are counted
on to figure conspicuously on the dia-
mond this season are on the basket
•ball team and cannot report for base-
ball practice until the close of the bas-
ket ball season. Shands, Lowman and
Kellam are now playing basket ball,
but they will already be in training
when the season is over and it will .
take them no time to shift from basket I ?
ball to baseball. J •
One thing that is an eye-sore to , f
Coach Sheffield, and to everyone else , j
that has the interest of the baseball
team at heart, is to look at that bunch
of ineligibles. They \are not ineligible
because of grades but because of not
having been in school long enough.
Holland, Frankie, Newman and Tom
Brown, all of whom are stars, are
among this bunch of ineligibles. They
cannot play with the regulars this year
but they can play against them every
day, and in doing that they will be
contributing no little part in the build-
ing of a strong team.
Considerable work is being done now
on the diamond at Evans field. It is*
being scraped and will be filled in in
places, so the infield this year will not
have to contend with many of the an-
noying bumps that worried the infield
last year. The home plate will also1
be moved some fifteen feet down the
old third base line. This change is
being made primarily for the benefit
of the team but at the same time it
will give the fans a better view of
the diamond and consequently they can
see the games better.

night. Sunday the attack grew worse
and^ local physicians advised an op-
eration. He was immediately taken to
the P. & _S. Hospital in Austin where
the operation was performed. He stood
the operation fine, and we are glad to
state that at last reports he was fast
on the road to recovery. It is hoped
that he will be back on the Hill, be-
fore many days.
