A WORD IN DEPARTING
This is the last edition of the Nor-
mal Star for the year 1922-23. We
would feel like something had been
left out if we did not take this oppor-
tunity of saying a few words of ap-
preciation to the members of the staff
and all those that have helped <u|s dur-
ing this year in the publishing of the
paper.
As editor of your paper, we wish to
express our sincere thanks to the stu-
dents who have observed our work in
such a sympathetic manner. We have
not accomplished ♦ all that we wished
to, yet we feel that we have done the
best we could, and we want the rest
of youi folks to know that we have ap-
preciated the moral, and physical sup-
port which you have given us last
summer and throughout this year.
I wish personally to thank the mem-
bers of the staff, thru whose willing ef-
forts the Star was made possible. With-
out their hearty and ever-ready work
nothing could have been done. I can
say, and I .say it with satisfaction and
thanks to you staff members, that I
have gotten the most splendid coopera-
tion from you, and that an article has
never fallen short because of negli-
gence or unwillingness on the part of
any member of the staff.
To the Record office force, which
has done our printing, I wish to say
that we have appreciated their many
favors and help they have shown and
given us.
I want to add also, that I hope that
the succeeding editor, Herschel Hop-
son, will receive that same cooperation
from you students that I have receiv-
ed throughout the year. Help him
make it the paper that you and he both
want it to be.
With the close of the year, with my
leaving this college, whose spirit,
whose big hill, whose dear old build-
ings, whose students, whose teachers,
whose athletes, and whose very name
. I have grown to love, there come nat-
urally sad thoughts : thoughts that are
happy and sad at the same time, hap-
py, in that they refer back to the many
dear associations, friendships, and bits
of college life, and sad, in that now it
is all over . . . yea, never again to be
a part of me as it has been during
these last four years.
Ypt there is another thing which
gives to it a brighter touch, for soon
i am to enter into the strongest, the
greatest, the dearest organization which
any institution can boast of ... . the
Alumni. It is through the
medium of the Alumni that I hope to
keep alive in me the spirit of the Old
School as I felt and experienced and
tried to live it during the last several
years.
Then there is another thing that will
always bind me closely to this school,
and that is OUR ATHLETE, as he
stands up and fights for his Alma Ma-
ter . . . MY ALMA MATER. May
the Bobcat and the Gypsy continue to
grow and to add glory and honor to
.the name of the school I call mine, as
they have done so nobly in the years
of the past. It is certainly true that
never before have prospects ever loom-
ed any brighter, or as bright, as they
do for next year. T.LA.A, Football,
T.LA.A-; Basketball, T.LA.A, Baseball
and T.I.A.A. Track Championships are
the honors they are fighting for Old
S.W.T.T.C. next year.
Thus I turn to the next year with a
joyous outlook. May it be even bet-
ter than‘any year that has ever gone
before, though to me, this, my last
year, will always be the greatest.

THE LAST GRIND
Almost all of everything is now over
and gone. To be sure there are re-
ceptions, banquets, parties, programs,
and FINAL EXAMS yet to be en-
joyed, but these last few days, before
that glorious whirl that is Commence-
ment, are the final stretch that serve as
cne last opportunity to put in some
real honest work.
The doubtful student has yet to get
in there and fight, really buckle down
to business. It can be done, you know.
The school year has slipped away so
fast that you can hardly realize it. It
cannot be stayed, though many of us
would like to have another week in
which to finish up that back work.
Exams stare us right in the face. Oh,
to be a Senior and be exempt from
Finals. Glorious! But we aren’t there
yet. There is only one way out; Faith-
ful application and earnest study even
these last few days may be able to
pull us over.
Certainly the work of the entire term
cannot be allowed to be forfeited be-
cause we fell down on the final stretch.
Shall all the mental energy, time and
money expended on a course, be was-
ted? No. Pep up and show your stuff.
Worlds can be accomplished in a few
days.
And to the over-confident: Because
the end is nigh there is no reason why
you shoiujld loaf. Get in there and
make that “B” an “A”.

BOTTLES
The Alpha and Omega the beginning
nad the end of man’s existance, is to
be found in bottles. He frequently be-
gins on one of tlfe rubber top type and
usually ends on one from the drug
store, or one of the two flat sides and
the “kicking content”. Man’s heat is
confined in a hot-water bottle and his
cold in a thermos. When he is ill, the
number and variety of bottles on his
bed-side table will make him recover
to escape them.' When he is well, bot-
tles are the containers of a great many
of his essentials besides his cold drinks.
When he is sad he appeals to a bottle
and there derives his happiness. His
very drinking water is distilled and
imprisoned in a bottle.
Bottles constitute preventive, cause,
and cure. If a man fails to take the
drop of typhoid serum from the min-
ute bottle, he is very apt to contract
fever from the larger milk bottle. And
who can determine the size of the bot-
tles containing the cure?
Now kegs, kettles, casks, barrels, jars,
tins, and other containers have their
placse, but none of them hold so promi-
nent and useful a position as the bot-
tle. It holds man’s sweets and his
acids, his honey, his syrups, his vine-
gar, his pickles, his ink, his perfume,
his castor oil, and his hair-tonic.
Where would he be without bottles?
Chemists would be desl’tute of liquid
chemicals, cook’s cakes would go un-
flavored, little boys would have no
transparent cages- for their precious
ant, worm, and lightning-bug menag-
eries
The main use for bottles since pro-
hibition has been created by that fa-
mous creatue, the jelly-bean, Figuing
that each jelly-bean uses on an aver-
age of nine bottles of “stay-comb”,, in
•its various forms and makes, a year,
and that there are about ten million
jelley-beans in the United States, how-
many bottles would that total?
Sometimes bottles are used by in-
genious people for other things than
bottles. They make excellent rolling
pins if the large “Grape juice” style is
selected. This might be useful informa-
tion for either campers or Mrs. Jiggs..
Little boys might be interested to know
that the most effective whistle I know
of is made from a small bottle half-full
of water
If there is any doubt aboa'. the true
value of these inexpensive articles,
think, I beg you, that with jut them
there would be no proper e.rtairer
for “Tanlae”. At best, it would he a
tragic ana uninteresting world were Jt
not for bottles.

LOBOES WIN FROM STAPLES
Coach Shand’s Team Has 500 Per-
cent Record.
The Loboes of the sub-college came
back at the Staples town team with
blood in their eyes and won a fast
game on Evans Field last Monday by
a score of 12 to 7. Several weeks be-
fore the Staples team had defeated
the Loboes.
Monday’s game was featured by the
excellent hitting of the Loboes, espec-
ially “Bobbie” Lyon’s and Kamegay’s,
Lyons getting two . singles and a
double out of four attempts and Karne-
gay three singles in the same number
of bats.
The game Monday closed the base-
ball season for the Loboes, making
them 500 percent, having won seven
qut of fourteen games and tieing a
ten-inning affair with the San Marcos
Baptist Academy,
A feller (Sub-Colege of course)
asked us if Rex Beach and Palm
Beach fere brothers.

THE SENIOR
HAROLD C. SIMON
Among those who will, this spring,
completed the course necessary for a
bachelor’s degree is a young man who
not only has “carried on” faithfully
but has done it in such a way as to in-
scribe his name indelibly into the an-
nuals of this institution. Harold C.
Simon, although he has been a student
of the College during only two years,
he has so conducted himself while here
as to win the respect and admiration
both of his teachers and of his fellow-
students.
Harold was first a student of the
College here in 1919. He distinguished
himself even during his first year here
in his classes and in outside literary
activities. He quickly affilated himself
with the Y. M. C. A., thd Chatauqua
Literary Society and other organiza-
tions. His forensic ability was not long
n manifesting itself and he soon gained
the well-earned reputation of being one
of the best speakers that the teacher’s
College has ever prodpeed. In that
year he was partly responsible for the
victory over Denton’s Normal in debate
and helped win for his Alma Mater,
laurels that will remain a testimony of
his worth and school spirit.
After a year of good work and ac-
complishment, Harold left us in order
to get, the benefit of the Military Train-
ing at A. and M. College. While there
he continued the good work he started
here and became a loyal son of that in-
stitution. He quickly rose to promi-
nence over there. His agreeable per-
sonality found many friends in his new
school and he won the esteem of his
new friends by his high standards and
worthy attainments.
In time of war Harold Simon was
found ready. Although too young for
active service, he joined the S. A. T.-
C. and was sent to the R. O. T. C. at
Fort Logan, Kansas.. He_ creditably
discharged every trust given to him
and made good every where he was
placed. He helped Uncle Sam during
the big railroad strike and has al-
ways served where service was need-
ed.
After completeing Junior work at A.
& M., Harold began to think about
his future profession. He decided to
teach for a while and he knew that a
degree from S. Wr. T. T. C. wquld be
a fitting climax to his successful col-
lege career.
Harold has again distinguished him-
self in debate. He represented the
school again this year and performed
creditably to himself and to the school.
Although he has carried a very heavy
course this year, Harold’s scholastic
standing has been very high. Simon
is planning to teach next year and we
wish him all possible success in this
work and all else is which he may
engage.
DANIEL SMITH, B. S.
One popular senior to receive his
B. S. degree in June is Daniel Smith.
Daniel has been working faithfully
for his degree since he started in the
first grade at Palm School of this
city. After completing the grammar
grades at Palm School he went to
Coronal Institute for three years and
then came to the Teacher’s College.
Daniel is partial to the social and
natural sciences. Science comes nat-
urally to this branch of the tribe of
Smith, as Daniel’s father is a Math
shark and Rufus, Daniel’s brother, is
a Biology fiend.
Daniel has not, however, devoted all
of his time to science, but has taken
an interest in student activities. He
Is one of the live workers of the “Red
Triangle,” and has served on the Y.
Cabinet during the present year. In
the Chautauqua Literary Society he
has held various offices since his ini-
tiation in 1919. Daniel has also been
a member of the Rabbit Foot Dramatic
Club since 1919 and was treasurer for
the club the first seminal of the pres-
ent year. He is a reporter and writer
for the Normal Star and Kodak Edi-
tor of the Pedagog Staff.
Whether he will teach or continue
his studies next year, Daniel has not
yet been able to decide. But knowing
his enthusiasm and ability to put the
things across we are sure of his suc-
cess anywhere he goes or of anything
he undertakes to do. Also that it will
not be long before he has a host of
new friends because of his unfailing
affability and pleasing personality.
