NORMAL GRADUATE MAKING
GOOD AT STATE
>Tlie following whicli was sent
to the Star from the Office of
Publicity of fhe University <;f
Texas will be of no little interest
to Normal friends of Mr. Barnes.
S. W. 'T. N. is extremely proud
of good records made by her old
students, and such records are
always noted with a very keen
interest.
Clyde Ernest Baines of Ches-
ter, senior academic student in
the University of Texas, is this
year a student assistant in the
school of government. Mr.
Barnes entered the University in
the summer of 1914, and has at-
tended every summer since that
time, with the exception of the
year 1918 when he was in the
army. He enjoys the distinction
that few students have, that of
making four years’ work in
three.
The school of government is
bigger than it has ever been be-
fore in the University. Several
new professors have been added
to the list, and many new courses
have been added to the curricu-
lum, including a course in city
government. Government has
been in a greater demand this
year than ever before.
Before coming to the Universi-
ty of Texas, Mr. Barnes was a
student of fhe Southwest Texas
State Normal College, where lie
received a diploma in two years.
He is now president of the recent-
ly organized S. W. T. N. Club,
which is made up of ex-students
of that school now in the Uni-
verstiy.
While in the army, Mr. Barnes
had an exceptionally varied
career. He started out drilling
with the “doughboys” at Camp
Travis, but was sent for sever d
months’ service as a clerk in the
Signal Office ; he was then trans-
ferred by the War Department,
because “he knew a little math,”
to the heavy artillery. Having
creditably completed.
Fortress Monroe, Va., he was
made second lieutenant in the
coast artillery, and held that
commission until the expiration
of the war.
Mr. Barnes is taking govern-
ment for his major subject for
the Bachelor of Arts degree, and
his . minor is economics. His
competency in these two branches
of study has been recognized by
membership in the Applied Eco-
nomics Club and the Government
Seminar, in which membership is
based on high standing in those
subjects.
Besides his work in govern-
ment, and economics, he lias tak m
ancl is taking work in business
administration, and will next
year take the degree of Master
of Business Administration. He
is now vice-president of the
school of business administrati m.
Besides the above mentioned
activities, Mr. Barnes is a mem-
ber of the following organiza-
tion:^ the B. Hall Association:
the Ivane Klub, an organization
of senior men; the funds com-
mittee of the Young Men’s
Christian Association. He was
at one time a member of the
State Teachers’ Association.
IN MATH 216
Teacher: “Upon what does the
revolution of the satellites of
Mars depend?”
Robert Shelton: “Upon the
masses of the bodies around
which they are revolutin’.”
Normal College
Notes
By C. E. EVANS, President
1. More than fifty instructors
are in fhe Normal College faculty.
2. More than two hundred
courses are offered in the insti-
tution.
3. San Marcos boys and girls
may continue in t|he Normal
College thru four years of college
work leading to the Bachelor’s
Degree, ‘There are only fourteen
other eifies in Texas offering
such advantages.
4. Splendid kindergarten and
commercial departments a r e
maintained. In addition to many
other courses, students may
study French, Spanish, German,
Latin, sociology, manual fram-
ing, and public speaking.
5. The demand for the grad-
uates of the Normal College far
exceeds the supply.
6. The Normal College has
trebled its appropriation and
more than quadrupled its service
to the State within the last ten
years.
7. It ranks among the thirty
teachers’ colleges of America
which are degree granting insti-
tutions rather than among the
one hundred and fifty old line
normal schools which offer only
two years of college work.
8'. The College of Industrial
Arts, the University of Texas,
and the Southwest Texas Sta r
Normal College are the only
institutions in the state that
secure federal appropriations for
vocational home economics under
the Smith-Hughes Law.
9. In view of these facts, is
not the Southwest Texas State
Normal College an institution of
higher learning that deserves the
support and patronage of citizens
of San Marcos.
NORMAL QUINTET WINS OVER
ACADEMY CUBS BY 19-17 SCORE
Normal Challenges
Academy
The Academy girls say, “It
takes defeats to make a team.”
At last it seems that the Aca-
demy wants a girls’ basket ball
team. However, it appears that
way, for they have accepted >ur
challenge to play them March 8,
and surely if defeats make a
team the Academy will have o.ie
team when they get through
with the Normal.
If the Academy girls wanted
to make a team by defeats and
wanting to do this by playing
with the Normal girls why did
they not come out and challenge
us for a game rather than getting
all excited and exploding in “ The
Laurel” and then sending us a
copy all marked with lead
pencil ?

The game between Normal and

be looked forward to by every
true Normalite. The team fully

made of. The girls have the boy \s

LA SALAMANCA
Every picture must be in by
Feb. 25th for the Pedagog.
Monday night, Feb. 9th, the
members of the La Salamanca
met in the Dramatic Club room
and had a most delightful time.
The main purpose of the meeting
was to elect new officers, but
before the election began, a very
interesting program was ren-
dered. La Senora Harrison
opened the program with a
beautiful song “Estrellita”, and
this was followed by a violin
duet by Misses Jennie Green and
Laura Kate Hilburn. The third
number was a little play by
Alfred Ivey and Emelia Schunior,
and the program was closed by
an anecdote by Senorita Grace
Cavness.
Then the presidente, Senora
Watkins, announced that new
officers were to be selected nr.d
that the nominations were in
order. After much deliberation
and discussion, the following
were elected: Presidente, Senori-
ta Ida Shuler; secretario, Senor
Alfred Ivey; tesorero, Senor
Vannie Perkins, and Star re-
porter, Emilia Schunior. The
president then appointed a social
committee, and a rerfeshment
committee.
As all the members were sure
of acquiring fame, and as they
wanted to hand down their tradi-
tions to the next generation, fhe
secretary and treasurer were
authorized to purchase “'big
black books” (as the president
One of the most sensational
basket ball games of the season
was pulled off last Monday
night between the Normal quin-
tet and the Academy fossers on
the Normal court, at Coronal’s
main building. Tiffs was our
first game with Academy this
season and we showed ’em we
could play basket ball as well as
foof ball.
The first half started off by
some very clever plays which
netted the Normal several points.
Academy succeeded in getting a
few points by some free goals.
The score board looked about
fhe same for both teams for a
while, but owing to the good work
of our team, the score at the end
of the first half read 11-7 in
Normal’s favor.
Both teams came back ever so
strong in the last half;, however,
Normal rolled the score up to
17, keeping fhe Cubs down to 9.
About the middle of the last half,
Academy took on a little more
pep, owing to the fact that some
substitutions were made, and
succeeded in edging up her score
somewhat. The game ended with
the score 19-17, with NorimJ
dragging the Cubs. Our boys
seem t,o like Cub meat and they
vviil have a chance for another
feast fo night. It was very
difficult to pick the ‘Stars’ in
the Normal team, for fhe whole
team proved themselves a real
constellation. Come to the next
game, and help ‘ ‘ root, for our
team.”
