SUED FOR DAMAGES

I was at a party the other night
and kissed a girl; she had me arrested
and sued me for damages. She
didn’t get any. damages out of me
tho, for I proved to the court she
had no sign, “look out for paint.”
NORMAL LIFE
Florence Young, and Bessie and
Mildred Calk spent Sunday and Mon-
day in Kyle.
“What is Charley doing for a living
now?”
“Writing. ”
“Why, I didn’t think he was
literary. ”
“He isn’t. He writes home for
checks.”
NEW ADDITIONS BEING MADE
TO THE NORMAL CAFETERIA
To take care of the crowded con-
dition at the Cafeteria, the Normal
is making an addition of a new
kitchen. This is a much wanted
thing and has been needed since the
Cafeteria has been built. The bottom
floor now used as a kitchen is to be
turned into more serving room and
thus the students will not have to
stand in line so long. The addition
will also relieve the situation very
much in the way of handling the
trays and dishes. It will lessen the
need of help, as before it took an
extra helper to carry the trays up
and down the stairs. Now one can
handle the carrying and washing of
the dishes and thus cut down the
running expenses.
The new kitchen is to be a three
story affair containing the store room
pantry, kitchen, and office of the
dietician. The new plan uses the
basement as a store room and the
second floor as a pantry. Thus there
will be plenty of room for storage
and warehouse purposes. To make
things more efficient and convenient,
the kitchen proper is to be located
on the third floor on a level oT wnst
is now the main dining hall.
Under the new management the
Cafeteria is becoming more and more
a part of the Normal and hs being
operated to suit and for the benefit
of the Normal students.
NORMAL STUDENTS SPEND DE-
LIGHTFUL 4TH AT NEW
BRAUNFELS
In a tight game on Evans Field
Normal held the Seguin team to a
score of 2 to 1. The game was a good
one and about the best seen on Nor-
mal field this summer. Few errors
were made on either side and on
the whole the play was fine. The
teams both hit together and Normal
lost the game on account of one
error. A good crowd was out tp see
the game and this added a lot of
interest.
NORMAL
It was 2:35 and all was well when
a jolly but warm crowd of Normal-
ites boarded the south-bound Katy
for New Braunfels. N othing very
eventful occured until we were on
the cool banks of the Comal where
some of the bathers of the crowd
gave a practical demonstration of the
use of the chute and springboard.
After a three hour sojourn in the
river, we needed no second invitation
to chow. A little later some of us
v . - -)-■
won laurels in matching pennies and
spinning yarns. After serious delib-
eration we decided to catcji the early
train to San Marcos. On board we
drank the coolers dry, woke up the
sleepy passengers, and made life
lively in general.
Those who answered “here” when
mess call sounded were: Misses Julia
Terrell, Edith McKay, Sallie Louise
Thomas, Grace Cavness, Maxine Wren
Non Douglas McGaughy, Clara Ram-
say; Messrs. O. C. Rode, A. L.
Smith, Norman Schutte, H. A. John-
son, Felton Horton, and Mason Ram-
say. The party was delightfully
chaperoned by Mesdames Ramsay
and Yoakum.

TAKE EXAMINATIONS
Last Friday and Saturday the sum-
mer normal students gave a good
example of pep and spirit by taking
the first series of the State Examina-
tions. for certificates. Over two
hundred students took the trial and
from the reports of • the faculty a
number of them are likely to make
good. This is about the largest
number who have ever taken the
first series, so from the fact we can
readily see that the summer normal
is making good.
On Monday morning however the
students were all back in their places
ready for work and as lively and
as full of fun as ever. They are all
either taking the same work or high-
er work for the next certificate. On
account of the change in the certifi-
cate law there was a greater number
than usual to take the examinations.
Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Strahn, Mr.
and Mrs. C. S. Smith, Mr. G. B.
Marsh, Mr. J. W. Holland, and
Rodgers Storey spent Saturday, Sup-
day, and Monday on the Blanco
River near the city of Wimberley.
All went well until Sunday night, and
then it turned loose; but the shower
did not last long. Of course there
was no fishing Sunday; everything
was quiet in camp that day. Bright
and early Monday morning we left
for the city of Wimberley to enjoy
the speeches of the candidates. Mrs.
Smith was persuaded to turn to the
side of a very prominent candidate
and is now u^ing her influence among
the ladies of San 'Marcos in behalf of
this prominent candidate and citi-
zen .
First Boy: “My father is a wonder-
ful artists. With a few strokes he
can turn a laughing face into one of
sorrow.
Second Boy: “My father can do
that much. He uses a stick.”
NORMAL HOLDS LUUNG
TEAM TO SCORE OF 1 to 0.
NORMAL VS BUDA
In a good game in Buda Wednes-
day afternoon the Normal team de-
feated the Buda ball team by a score
,of 5 to 1. The game was not very-
tight in that both sides made a few
errors, Normal getting the lesser of
the few. Normal also outhit the
Buda team and outplayed them in
general. This was the first game
that Normal has won this season and
was quite an encouragement to the
team. The team is picking up in all
around baseball and a good team is
developing fast.

Struck
Thursday afternon in Luling Nor-
mal played Luling a good game with
a sore of 1 to 0. The Normal team
lacked some of the old time pep and
thus the game was lost. Normal got
only two hits and made quite a few
errors. Luling outhit the team and
outfplayed it all around. It is hoped
that we will beat them Monday after
noon on our own field. By playing
them a 1 i.o 0 game and having no
pep, we can certainly beat them when
we have lots of pep and spunk.

DEAN BIRDWELL ATTENDS
ANNUAL MEETING OF N. E. A.
The S. W. T. N. representative at
the annual meeting of the National
Educational Association at Salt Lake
City, is Professor Birdwell. The
meeting will probably be over by the
end of this week and Mr. Birdwell
will meet his classes as usual on
Tuesday morning.
President Evans is on the program
at the meeting for a paper on
“Student Self Government in the
Normal School. ” The President pre-
pared this paper which is to be read
at the Association. We are proud
that our president should prepare
such a paper especially on that
subject which is of such vital interest
to us at home.
The student should certainly note
the fact that Texas is holding her
own in National Education by having
men at the heads of her schools who
are capable of handling the situation
and taking care of our interest's.
