Plenty of Brass.
Pete (in B.A. 108): ‘Mr. Chamber-
lin, do you think the supply of brass
is deminishing to any extend here in
Texas?”
Mr. Chamberlin (looking at H. F.
girl who has entered the B. A. room
during the time that B. A. 108 is tak-
ing the final exam, and without ask-
ing for permission to use a machine
has seated herself at one of the desks
and proceeded to bang away in regular
stenographic fashion, much to the chag-
rin of those students trying to take a
final) : “Well, now Mr. Shands, speak-
ing concretely, it seems to me the sup-
ply in increasing quite materially.”

First Camp Cookery Lesson.
Over hill, over dale, we will hit the
rocky trail
As the cookers come marching along
Should it rain, should it shine
We will keep a steady line.
As the cookers come swinging along.
Then its hie, hie, hee! Camp Cookery
for me
Shout out your numbers loud and
strong, 35, 36
Where ’er we go you’ll always know
As the cookers come swinging along
Keep swinging!
As the cookers come swinging along.
With this song and a dozen more,
the thirty-six H. E. girls hiked to the
head of the river Saturday afternoon
to have their first lesson in Camp
Cookery. Each girls was supplied
with a bowl, cup, spoon pocket knife,
and hatchet. Our teacher, Miss Tan-
sil, not only taught us the rules of
camp life, camp '"etiquette, and camp j
cookery with technique, but led us in j
scamp yells and songs. Three fires of;
the latest log cabin style were built'
by different groups and our supper was
started. Our menu was balanced, just
as everything else our department puts
out, and it supplied sufficient amounts
of C. H. O. proteins and fats. Every-
thing was contained in the three fol-
lowing dishes: Campy Hot Chocolate,
Eery Fruit Pudding, and Our Own
Golosh, which contained ham, toma-
to souip, milk, rice, macaroni, spaghet-
ti. and cheese. Who can make a pal-
atable dish of such a mixture? That’s
our art. Do you want to try it? When
everyone had eaten and washed their
own bowl, spoon and cup, we broke
camp and started on our homeward
hike. The distance back was shortened

“FOUR HOREMEN OF THE APO-
CALYPSE” AGAIN TO BE SHOWN
San Marcos Entertainment Bill Fine;
Devereux Players at Normal To-
night; Chautauqua Com-
ing Soon.
The actors, and there are fifty prin-
ciples and 2500 extras engaged in the
production, have been carefully select-
ed. Rodolph Valentino carries off the
highest honors. He appears as Julio
Desnoyers, the spoiled grandson of Old
Madariaga, the fabulously wealthy Ar-
gentine ranch owner.
Alice Terry, one of the most deli-
screen
a chic
Parisienne, is seen as Marguerite, the
love-sick wife.
The picture, “The Four Horsemen
has been the good fortune of students
to see. Among those that we might
name as deserving special mention are
the last numbers of the Normal’s Ly-
ceum numbers, and more especially the
Devereux Players, who are at the Nor-
mal tonight, The Birth of a Nation,
the Ellison White Chautauqua to be
here soon, etc. We are glad that San
Marcos is so live a little town. Cer-
'tainly there are few towns of the size
oi San Marcos that can boast of as
good an entertainment bill as we can.
That the management of the Palace
Theatre has the Normal in mind and
that it is desirous to bring the best
pictures to San Marcos is again evi-
denced by the bringing of “The Four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse” to this
little city. The picture has been shown
here once before last year, yet it is
like “The Birth of a Nation”, a pic-
ture that one sees several times and
gets something more out of.
The play is a Metro production
which cost $1,000,000 to make. It is a
picture that New Yorkers paid $10 a
seat to see when it opened its record-
breaking run in the metropolis. The
artistic results are priceless. Indica-
tions of the screen’s power have been
given in memorable productions of
other years, but not until “The Four
Horsemen” has there been a photo-
drama that has completely filled the
promise of epical achievement.
Readers of the novel by the sensa-
tional Spaniard, Vicente Blasco Iban-
ez, from which novel the photo-drama
was taken, has reported surprised de-
light at the fidelity with which the.
scenariost has followed the story, a
story that has been more widely read
throughout the world than any other
of modem times. Its effect is heighten-
ed in the picture, a wonderful show as
you students who saw it last year will
remember.
In the picture is portrayed the broad
sweep of the Argentine plains with
their enormous herds of cattle, the
Buenos Ayres dance hall with its
swirl of smoke and glamorous vice,
the whirling gaity of the Parisian tan-
go palace, the feverish rush of the
mobilization scenes at the outbreak of
the war, the cluttered retreat of the re-
fugees, the seemingly endless masses
of German troops pouring toward
Paris, the bombardment and the des-
truction of a village and a chateau on
the Marne, the terrific horror and fas-
cination of an infantry attack from the
trenches into No Man’s Land. And
all through this is the uncanny vision
of St. John, picturing the Four Horse-
mem— Conquest, War, Famine, and

As to athletics, they are thoroughly
wide-awake. Hundreds of boys and
girls were eager to win out for the
district meet to be held in San Mar-
cos later. Messrs. Vernon and Mills
have attended similar meets in Guada-

the best yet witnessed. They were ac-

April 2 will be red, while the Y.W.C.A.
tickets for the same concert will be

say “That’s the way the Y.W. girls
will be feeling when they see how fast
the boys’ tickets sell.”

Bess Strahola and Helen Perkins

Normal last summer, have registered
for the spring term.
Much curiosity was evinced by the

members of the “Y” chorus over the
song, “Nellie Was a Lady” until it was
explained that Nellie is now dead. They
are going to sing about her in the con-
cert April 2. But that’s no sign the
concert is going to be anything like a
funeral. Charlie Jowell is in it, for
one thing.

Haygood house. Miss Marguerite

also at the Haygood house now.

shine Monday night, April 2nd.
Mr. Mills: “Now, if the lines in the
third act are not memorized by Monday
don’t ask for a credit in this course.”
Fred Day: “I believe that it would
pay me to learn ’em, then.”
