LA SALAMANACA
In 1916, La Salamanaca was or-
ganized under the direction of Mr.
Marsh and Mrs. Shaver by their en-
thusiastic Spanish classes. The pur-
post was to provide means for educa-
tional and social advancement for the
students of Spanish and it was found
that in creating a Spanish atmospnere
a love for their music, literature, and
customs was developed as well as a
marked increase in vocabulary and
conversational ability. However its
intellectual aspirations do not eclipse
its social aspirations; something that
s shown by the fact that it provides
more of the “get-to-gether” spirit
tha,n any other Normal club.
At the regular fortnightly meetings
the members will enjoy splendid pro-
grams reflecting the charm and grace
of the life of Spain and Mexico. On
several occasions in the past the Club
has been fortunate in having pro-
fessors from the University of Texas
and missionaries from Mexico, illus-
trating their talks with slides and
pictures of scenes in Mexico. The
Club now owns many of these slides
and pictures as well as several Vic-
trola records and zarapes.
La Salamanac has very sucessfully
presented Spanish plays from time to
time, and for five years it boasted of
the only orchestra in the Normal.
Bach year its members have -enjoyed
a picn.c to Wimberley and this is
always the most popular Normal
social event.
The new officers who are planning
the best year possible for the club
are: president, Alfred Ivey, who
speaks Spanish as fluently as' his na-
tive tongue; vice-president Doris
Koenamon, whose home is Mexico
City; and Star Reporter Julia' Terrell
Anyone in Normal who has ever
studied Spanish and remembers as
much as “si,” and is capable of re-
taining in his memory the password
is eligible to be a member of La Sal-
amanaca. So if you are looking for a
good time and can comply with the
above requirements, come to the regu-
lar meeting of this term, Monday,
November 2nd,. 7 :30 p. m. in the Gym.-
The history of the Club is being re-
corded in a scrapbook, both in pic
ture and in print, and it is hoped
that in the future years this record
will be a source of inspiration as
well as living proof of the accom-
plishment of something worthwhile.

MEMBERS OF FACULTY FORM
BIG FACTOR IN CAMPAIGN
DURING WEEK
Advocates of the much talked of
School Tax Amendment to the State
Constitution have planned a whirlr
wind windup of the Amendment cam-
paign in Hays County next Saturday
afternoon. Of course the big show
is to be in San Marcos. A big parade
is to be staged, the students from
every school in the city are going
to be in it, after which all will
gather at he Courthouse Square in a
final rally. At this occasion the
managers of the campaign have been
exceedingly fortunate in securing Dr.
McBrien of Washington, D. C., Assis-
tant Director of the National Bureau
of Education, to deliver an address in
behalf of the Amensment. This is to
be the final “punch” in putting over
the Amendment and “dropping old
ignorance for the count.”
Normal students are indeed proud
to know the great extent to which
members of the Normal Faculty are
helping in the Amendment campaign.
The County authorities have called
upon them and they have responded
most willingly and enthusiastically.
Especially during the coming week
are members ot tne- Faculty to be
stumping the County. Mr. Evans,
Mr. Birdwell, Mr. Garrett, Mr. Arnold
Mr. Harry, Mr. Harrison, Mr. Burk-
holder, Mr. Sewell, and possibly others
whose names we have not secured are
booked for engagements at various
places in the county. Mr. Hiester and
his orchestra will also form a feature
attraction at several of the rallies.
It will not he possible for the or-
chestra to be present at every mass
meeting but special attractions will
be furnished.
Look over the ads. It pays.
