THE NORMAL STAR
Published Weekly During the School Year by the Students of the Southwest Texas State Normal
Vol. 6 San Marcos, Texas, Friday, February 23, 1917 No. 15
Y. M. Sends Delegates to
Convention at Marlin.
Normal Y. M. C. A. sent ten
delegates to the convention at
Marlin; those who went are:
T. L. Clemons, A. Carter, C.
Brown, N. ,B. Beard, A. -J.
Flowers, H. Bochle, R. Gard-
ner, A. Summers, E. Latimer,
and Esmond. In Austin the
boys were reinforced by rep-
resentatives from the Univer-
sity, and arrived in Marlin Fri-
day morning after an all night’s
ride. Here the boys were di-
vided into units and welcomed
into the hospitable homes of
Marlin, to be entertained very
royally.
The principal speakers of the
Convention were: C. H. Wil-
liamson, of Memphis; L. A.
Coulter, Secretary of State Y.
M.; F. A. Wilson—Larenson,
Secretary of International Com-
mittee, New York; and others
that space does not permit
mentioning. The main purpose
o'f the .speakers was to en-
courage boys in various ways
to live better and more useful
lives.
Friday night a big banquet
was given; and while this was
extremely well enjoyed, there
was one other thing tended to
the boys. Upon their arrival
they were given free tickets to
a bath house.
The Convention closed Sun-
day night. All the delegates,
representing colleges from all
over the State, jciined hands
’and sung “Bless Be the Tie that
Binds.” The boys got home
Monday morning at 7:00.

Let’s Get More Pep!
Every season Normal’s stu-
dent body becomes more cen-
tralized and more pep is dis-
played by the student body in
the support of the team than
there was the season before.
Normal must have her teams
and the teams can not win
without the backing of the stu-
dent body. The base ball team
has been hard at work for sev-
eral weeks, and certainly needs
the help of old S. W. T. N.
There is plenty of material for
a winning team, the coaches
are doing their part, the stu-
dent body are going to do
theirs—so just watch our team
win. The team has some hard
games this season, but with the
growing pep of the loyal stu-
dents of S. W. T. N., we can
not lose.
Normal is no longer a prep
school, she is a college; and
our pep must grow to that of
college rank. The students
realize their return for the en-
ergy spent in peppy yells for
their team. They know how
good it will be to think of the
days they carred the good old
team to victory.

“Where does St. Valentine
live?” asked Miss Cory of a
third and fourth grade Train-
ing School Class.
“I know,” said a little boy.
(< He lives in a small village,
near a blacksmith shop, under
a spreading cherry tree.”

To Our Many Friends and
Patrons.
Realizing that our parlor
space was inadequate, to ac-
commodate our many patrons,
we take great pleasure in an-
nouncing that the enlarged ice
cream parlor is now open,
where prompt and efficient
service will be at your continu-
ed service.
Very Appreciatively,

“And we have it,” says the
editor of the Houstonian rather
enthusiastically. “Student gov-
ernment carried by a large
majority. The elcetion was
conducted in a very quiet and
orderly manner; and we feel
sure that everything connected
with this movement from this
time forward will be so char-
acterized.”

Some Hints Prospective
Teachers Should Consider
1. Be a close student of the
affairs which effect your com-
munity.
2. Be ambitious, but not
over-ambitious.
3. Be one among the boys
and girls; don’t get up in G-
sharp when your pupils are in
B-flat.
4. Be kind and sympathetic,
but firm.
5. Don’t give a “test” to fail
your pupils but to test them.
6. Accommodate your pupils
whenever you can.
7. Don’t expect the pupils
to know as much as you do,
for if they did they would as-
pire to a position equal to
yours.
8. In case you have some
mis-understanding with a pupil
don’t lose yourself and expect
the pupil to control his or her-
self, for if you do, you then and
there admit that they are
broader than yourself.
9. Don’t neglect the student
body as a whole for a few
who are popular, for if you do,
this is a conclusive proof wthin
itself that you merely seek the
popular things.

“In the days of archers,’
said Mr. Arnold to an English
History Class, “each year the
boy was taught to handle a bow
as long as himself. So when he
grew to manhood he could
handle a six foot bow with ease.
The same can be said of~The
young ladies of today,” he~con-
tinued. “When a girl reaches
womanhood she can handle a
six foot beau to perfection.”
