ARMISTICE DAY
We are growing old. Yet we have
not passed beyond our ybuth. We are
so old that our great national holi-
days, the Fourth of July and Washing-
ton’s Birthday, have become perfunctory
celebrations. We remember them be-
cause the opportunity they offer to ge#
away from the routine duties of every-
day life. For most of us they have
lost their power to arouse any deep
sentiment. This is evidence of na-
tional old age.
But we are still young. We have a
new national holiday, our own holiday
around which our heartstrings wind
and intertwine because of what it has
cost us—sons, brothers, neighbors,
friends, our sacrifice to the god of war,
but surely, made in the name of peace.
For us who have given up our loved
ones, Armistice Day can never lose its
sentiment. And this is evidence of
national youth.
This Armistice Day promises much.
If the International Conference for
Disarmament achieves its purpose,
there will be no more world wars.
Our’s will be the last armistice day,
the armistice day that has ushered in
an era of world peace. May our hope
of the future kepe our hearts warm
for those who made the supereme sacri-
fice.

LEARN ALMA MATER
During general assembly last week
we started singing Alma Mater but
had to stop and start over again be-
cause there were so few singing. We
do not believe that this was because
of any indifference of the student body
regarding our school song, but because
the importance of learning it had not
then bee n brought home to us. The
last general assembly proved this. Al-
ma Mater was again sung and from
all “appearances of sound”, every voice
joined in. However, it (is better not to
learn at all than to learn incorrect
subject, matter, so the Star is taking
this opportunity to furnish the student
body with a correct copy of our school
song.
It is desired that each student keep
and memorize our Alma Mater as it is
printed below, the one attached to the
cover of. In Excelsis being incorrect.
Memorize it and let it go with you
thruout the days as the sweetest mem-
ory of old Normal.
Alma Mater.
—1.—
Oh Alma Mater, set upon the green
hills,
With turrets pointing upward to the
sky,
We yield to thee our love and our
devotion;
Mother of hopes and inspirations high.
—2.— '
Thy feet are laved by pure and limpid
waters,
Fair river flowing gently to the sea;
Thy hills are crowned with ancient
oak and laurel
Fit emblems they of strength and
victory.
—3.—
Thy walls can tell of struggles and
temptations,
Hard honest toil, and eager restless
strife;
Hopes, smiles and tears, and radiant
youthful friendships,
And all that makes for brave and
honest life.
—4.—_
Dear mother, ours, should effort be
successful,
Ambitions crowned with glory or
renown,
We turn to thee with reverence and
affection,
Thine is the conquest, thine the victor’s
crown.
—5.—
Thy spirit urges us to deeds of valor,
Raising the fallen, cheering the op-
. pressed;
Thy call will echo clearly down the
ages,
Dear Alma Mater, mother, loved and
blessed.

PEP LEADERS WANTED!
Say! Haven’t we any real peppy mat-
erial in S. W. T. N. C. from which to
form a squad of yell leaders? The
ones we have are doing good work for
this year, but what about next year?
We were late getting started with our
pep rallies this year on account of not
having elected competent yell leaders
at the end of the previous term, leaving
the election till late into the present
trem. What we want is about half a
dozen good, live, peppy men to volun-
teer their assistance in leading yells
for the remainder of this year, thereby
gaining the experience necessary to
make of themselves efficient candidates
for leaders next year.
Some of you tnen who are fairly cer-
tain of returning to S. W. T. N. C. for
the 1922-23 session, and who have en-
ough confidence in your ability, stir up
enough school spiri tto offer your tal-
ent to your Alma Mater. Let’s make
it possible to start off next year’s pep
with a bangr'
“You never can tell till you’ve tried
’em, and then you are like to be
wrong.” If you’ve got the stuff in you,
see the present yell leader, Roland
Perry, and cooperate with him for the
rest of this year.
RIGHT FORMATION
The football game was over and at the
parlor grate
A maid and long-haired youth were
lingering rather late.
They talked of goals and touchdowns,
but found it rather tame,
Till Cupid put his nose-guard on and
butted in the game.
Quoth he, “It’s mighty funny if I don’t
arrange a match,”
So he lined the couple up, and made
them toe the scratch.
The youth was growing nervous ’neath
the weight of new-found bliss,
And he kinder thought the scrimmage
ought to end up with a kiss.
He charged upon the cenetr, he tackled
left and right,
And the way they held that chair for
downs was simply out of sight.
He tried an osculation, just an ama-
teur affair,
But lost it on a fumble and instead
it struck the air.
Then as he landed on his ear, he heard
the maiden say,
You’re penalized for holding, Jim;
likewise for offside play”.
With set teeth he tried another; this
time succeeded fine,
For he scored an easy touchdown on
the crimson two-inch line.
And as they sat there by the grate,
communing soul to soul,
The parlor door swung open and Fath-
er kicked the goal.

CUBS EASY PICKIN’ FOR
THE CATS AND KITTENS
(Continued from page One)
the two guard positions were a puzzle
that the Cub offense was never able,
to solte. Several times did the Cubs
star end runs behind good interfer-
ence, but the Normal wingmen, Horton
and Summers, were not to be circled.
On one play it looked like the whole
team was in the interference but Jack
some way mussed it up enough for
Roger Storey to get thru and down the
runner after a one yard gain.
Only one substitution was made in
the Normal backfield, Crownover for
Ramsay. In the line, however, Coach
Strahan made almost a complete shift,
and for the last few minutes of play
the Cubs found themselves playing
against more Bobkittens than Bobcats.
In the kicking game the honors were
about evenly divided. Most of Aca-
demy’s kicks hit the ground before
reaching the safety man, which made
them hard to handle. On several in-
stance sthe ball took a wicked hop af-
ter hitting the ground and bounded
down the field. Pete purposely booted
the ball high in the air one time to
keep it from going over Academy’s
goal line. The short kick lowered
his kicking average but it gained some
good ground for the Cats. It was on
this kick that Academy was penalized
for running with the ball after signal-
ing for a fair catch. In kicking goal
after touchdwon Little Brown kicked
seven out of seven attempts, Ramsay
kicked one after making a touchdown
in the final suarter, but Pete hit the
goal post in attempting to kick one.
The game was marred by many Nor-
mal penalties. For holding and being-
off-side the Cats were penalized for a
total of 90 yards.
From the size of the score one could
hardly think that the Bobcats had three
stars out of uniform yesterday. Weir.
Kellam and Birdwell were on the side
lines because of injuries.
Between the halfs the yell leaders
entertained the grandstand with a Leap
Frog game—all but Duke.

MR. ARNOLD SPEAKS
TO HARRIS-BLAIRS
at any time to give his efforts to mak-
ing anything that the Harris-Blairs un-
dertake a success.
The debate that was heard in So-
ciety Wednesday night was the first
that has been had this year. It was a
new man contest, and uncovered some
most promising material in the argu-
mentive sport. The question, altho an
obsolete one, served the purpose of
giving experience to the new men. The
judges rendered their decision two to
one for the negative side, which was
represented by Armstrong and B. Cox
Kerby and Freeman represented the
affirmative.
At the next meeting the Harris-
Blairs are glad to announce that Prof.
Gates Thomas, head of the English
Department in Normal, and recently
elected honorary member of the Har-
ris-Blair, will be present and will ad-
dress the Society

Johnnie Mae Evans is spending the
week-end at her home in Yorktown.
The Harris-Blairs again Wednesday
night -engaged in another of their pep-
py and beneficial meetings. On account
of several outside attractions such as
parties, a special meeting at the Meth-
odist church and a test or two Thurs-
day morning, several of the members
were unable to be present. However,
some thirty odd gathered in the main
auditorium and enjoyed the splendid
program rendered.
Mr. Arnold, an honorary member of
the Harris-Blair, made his first ap-
pearance before the Society this year
and did what we have learned to ex-
pect of him. Mr. Arnold always de-
livesr the goods with some to spare.
In speaking of the Harris-Blair for
this year he mentioned several of the
things that have become a habit with
the Society, and said that as the Har-
ris-Blairs seem to have the best mater-
ial in years that these functions should
be “pulled off” with ah extra quality
this y.ear, and that he for one was ready
