Dear Mr. Alumni:
Well, I was over in San Marcos last
Sunday and about the first person I
ran into was old L. C. McDonald.
Needless to say, I saw Mac up at the
calf. _ It’s the center of population on
the hill three times a day, and old Mac
always was conspicuous around there
during those times, if it wasn’t for
anything more than his height and his
laugh. I’m not sayin’ anything about
myself when I was there.
The first thing Mac asks me when
we get through with the' “glad to see
you stuff”, is to write you a letter and
tell you everything I know about all
the old Normalites in San Tone. Said
he wanted to put it in The Star, so
naturally I couldn’t hurt his feelings,
bein’ as he has so recently took up the
“breakfast for two” habit. Then be-
sides, I couldn’t have refused, because
every time I used to see Mac when
we was there together I would hit’im
up to write me a story for the Star
that nobody else could write. I told
him though that I couldn’t answer his
request accurately because if I told you
everything I know about all the Nor-
malites here< some of ’em might get
sore and I didn’t want to endanger my
life none. So I told him I would tell
you all I know about those here that
will do to print.
Normal folks here are like Chine-
men. There’s a new one every day. A
lot of ’em I haven’t seen but once so
I might forget to mention ’em herein.
I mean well by every one though, so
if any of ’em come to you later and
tell you that I tried to slight him or her
as the case may be—no, no, don’t send
them to me but you tell them you are
sure they are mistaken.
I see Dorris Sims every week or so
and every time I see her she has chang-
ed the date, so I can’t give you any-
thing specific.
Wop Gardner, I mean Lamar Gard-
ner, one time editor of the Star, lives
over here and is working awful hard he
says. I think that’s all Wop would
want me to say. He’s goin’ back to
Texas U. next fall I think. At least
those were his intentions the last time
I saw him.
Ariel Watkins, the 1921-22 school
beauty, (according to the Idyllic elec-
tion), comes to town every once in a
while, and we pass a little quadrangle
gossip. Ariel says she’s going to teach
out in South San Antonio next year,
so the political bosses can take the
tip and begin grooming a new candi-
date for her office.
Some of the old timers, possibly Mr
Gates Thomas and Oscar Stroman, will
remember one Mr. J. Elliot Wilson
He was there at Normal in the days
of Doc Porter and Icky Woodson, and
was populous with everybody, includin’
the dean of women. He’s just as im
portant over at the Evening News
now, and has been coverin’ the police
station for them for the last two years
He’s my room-mate but you couldn’t
expect me to say that that’s anything
against him.
Katherine Sheehan, another editor of
the Star, lives here but I have never
had the pleasure of seeing her since
I’ve been over. I understand though
that she still intends to teach next year,
I see quite a bit of A. D. Hildreth
He’s walkin’ the straight and narrow
and intends to come back in the fall.
Sure am glad because it will mean a
lot to the Bobcat cause to have Pinky
out there at the pivot of the line. He
was the most popular boy in Normal
last year and made a good officer.
Saw Malinda Brown once. She’s the
girl that made a hit with Carroll Ker
by in those *one act plays of Mr. Tho
mas’, and elsewhere, too, I guess. Don’t
know what she’s goin’ to do next year.
Loma Groomwald lives here but I’ve
just seen her once. If I told you any-
thing about here I would have to make
it up, and you knw as well as I do
that it ain’t healthy to make up things
about girls. You even get in bad for
tellin’ what you know to be a fact
some times.
Matty Lou K1 e m and most
of the Garth House is over here. Have
not seen Bessie Burnett but I was de-
liverin’ a message to her over the
phone the other day for Carlton Davis,
so I know that she’s here. Didn’t say
what she’s goin’ to do but did say what
she wasn’t goin’ to do. Said she wasn’t
cornin’ back to Normal. Better go to
Davis for any further information
about Bess.
iM'ary Haile Austin and Mabel Bates
live here too. So far as I can find out
Mary Haile and Ennis Hill are goin’
to run the Chemistry Department at
Normal next year. Don’t know which
one is goin’ to be head of the Depart-
ment. Mary Haile always did stand up
for her rights. Mabel has been up at
the Presbyterian encampment at Kerr-

ville all summer; at least she’s «been
up at Kerrville. Pretty sure she in-
tends to spend one more year in school.
Clara Ramsay won’t need to read this
to find out that A. C. Wilburn is over
here but probably some of the rest of
you wilh Don’t know exactly how he
spends his time but I guess it’s a pret-
ty safe bet to say that he spends a
good bit of it writin’ letters addressed
to San Marcos.
Had the pleasure of goin’ out to his
home with Hubert Cavness a short
time ago. Cavvy will be remembered
as bein’ the leading hitter at Normal
for two years and was captain of the
baseball team in 1919. Probably nobody
but Bill Holland and Maurice Jennings
will remember Cavvy’s prowness as a
diamond star, but they can vouch for
it. He also made his letter in foot-
ball in 1918. Don’t know what kind
of a husband he’s makin’ but I think
he’s gettin’ by with it.
Eberhardt Adam Duckett was cornin’
over here today and stay the rest of
the summer, but I don’t know whether
he got in .or not. He might have gone
to Galveston instead. You couldn’t
very much blame him.
Old Roland Perry is over here too,
when he’s not at 520 North Austin
Street, San Marcos. He’s workin’
here on the telegraph desk at the San
Antonio Light. He’s not managin’ edi-
tor yet but I think he will be in a week
or two. He’s workin’ pretty hard and
is just as regular at his desk as he
used to be at the power plant with a
fishin’ pole. He don’t go fishin’ very
much now; .just about as often as he
used to go to some of his classes.
Well, as I said in startin’ out, this
ain’t all I know about the persons
taken under consideration herein, but
it’s all I’m goin’ to say. Hope I hav-
en’t left out none, but if I did it’s not
because the paper gave out.
Haven’t anything to say regardin’
the writer cept that he sure wishes he
was goin’ to be back and write a lot
about that big football team that Nor-
mal’s goin’ to have next year. If ev-
erything he has heard is true the Bob-
cats are goin’ to win the T. I. A. A.
championship and make Denton eat the
dust on her own'90-yard gridiron. He
hasn’t any reason to disbelieve it either.
Am takin’ the liberty of speakin’ for
the whole bunch, and we send regards
to Dean Mays, and all the other cele-
brities.
So here’s to the greatest year in
Normal’s history—1922-23!
