DENTON TRIP
The bunch assembled at the
Katy depot about 10 o’clock
Friday night. Some delay was
caused by the train being late
but at last she “rolled” in and
the gang sailed aboard. We
immediately started some yells
and we saw a funny looking
woman, with a small kid, move
to the rear end of the car. The
kid thought he was disturbed
and a Dutchman tried to take
it up, but Culpepper put a
Quietus on said guy. The con-
ductor got sore and cussed a
little but after Garlin told him
that he had said about all he
could afford to say, so he shut
his bazoo.
We stopped 40 minutes in
Waco and got off and had a
chile breakfast at 4:30 in the
morning and then had another
at 6:30 in Fort Worth. Garlin
rubbernecked a little between
Waco and Fort Worth which
was the only excitement we
had.
We arrived in Denton
about 10 Saturday morning and
were met by an enthusiastic
bunch of Denton students. We
were then transported to the
athletic field where a track
meet was going on, which we
watched until lunch. Then we
were conducted to the Home
Economics Department where
a lunch “fit to set before a
king” was served to all.
After lunch there were cars
to take us around to view the
sights—and especially did we
enjoy going through the build-
ings of C. I. A. and more par-
ticular the dormitories. After
the ride we bummed around
town until 6 o’clock when ar-
rangements were made for
each one to have one of the
best looking girls in school.
However, there were but four
that took advantage of such an
occasion to get to go with a
pretty girl. The others ought
to have a big brand of “traitor”
put on their forehead so they
could always be known as such.
On part of the “Loyal Four”
we can say that Denton has
four of the keenest girls on the
face of the earth.
The debate was marked with
much pep and enthusiasm on
the part of both sides. S. W.
T. N. showed much more real
pep however in yelling, making
more noise than all Denton
students put together. How-
ever the decision went 2 to 1
in favcr of Denton. After the
debate the majority of the
gang wanted to leave Denton
but the “Loyal Four” were in
favor of staying Sunday in
Denton. However, the major-
ity ruled and we moved on to
Dallas where we spent Sunday;
killing chile for each meal.
Nine of the bunch went to
church but the “Millionaire
Sextet” composed of Culpepper
Calloway, H. Day, Marrow,
Garlin, and C. Day, got the
swellest limousine in Dallas
and took in the city in proper
About 3 o’clock we started in
and took all the vaudeville
shows in that we could find
and as Garland expressed the
sympathy of the bunch I will
quote him, “I sure do like to
see shows like them.”
We left Dallas at 8 o’clock
and rode all night, during
which the “Loyal Four” were
tried and sentenced to a
punishment for being loyal to
old S. W. T. N. We arrived
in San Marcos at 6:30 Monday
morning, where there was a
lonesome Shuck at the depot
to meet us.
Speaking for all fourteen, I
can say that we were never sj
royally entertained as at Den-
ton, and the experiences there
especially of the loyal four will
CANYON NORMAL DEFEATED
S. W. T. N. Wins Over Canyon
Normal In Lively
Debate.
Saturday evening the entire
Normal School together with a
large representation from town
and the other schools gathered
in the auditorium to hear S. W.
T. N. again meet her old rival,
Northwest Texas Normal, of
Canyon City, and to hear her
again do justice to the standard
she has so long held for doing
things, when Thomas Barnett
and E. G. Lloyd pulled down a
two to one decision over the
visiting team from Canyon in
a debate on the compulsory ar-
bitration question.
It was a close and lively de-
bate, and both sides of the
question were thoroughly work-
ed out and presented each in
an effective way.
After a selection from the
Schuman Club, Mr. Barnett
opened up the argument for
the affirmative and clearly out-
lined and firmly established
the preposition of compulsory
arbitration in disputes between
labor and capital.
Mr. James Younger from
Canyon then took the stand for
always be as an oasis in a
desert.
I believe that the above are
the sentiments of the following
that made the trip: Burkett
Morrow, Parker, H. Day, Per-
kins, Garlin, Culpepper, Mr.
and Mrs. Highsmith, Callo-
way, C. Day, Kacir, Porter and
Woodson.
the opposition. In his refuta-
tive manner he upheld that
there were other means of
settling such disputes better
than national compulsory ar-
bitration, such, as voluntary
arbitration, compulsory inves-
tigation and other means of
conciliation. This was followed
by an effective volley from our
other gun, Mr. Lloyd. For
fifteen minutes he continued
the work of his colleague in
building fortifications around
the orinciple upheld by the af-
firmative. Then Mr. Keffer of
the negative delivered some
very forceful argument against
the plan of the affirmative on
an outline somewhat as the fol-
lowing: That compulsory ar-
bitration is: (1) impractical.
(2) not based on sound econo-
mic principles; (3) contrary t3
democratic ideals of govern-
ment.-
After the conclusion of the
main speeches the haLteffi pgri
of the debate insued in the
line of four powerful rebuttals.
It is interesting to note that at
the several times when Canyon
asked the Gentlemen of the Af-
firmative for proof, that they
were each time supplied with
the data called for—even if
Mr. Lloyd did have to take
about twelve minutes to dem-
onstrate his “track” ability in
getting some necessary stuff.
It was on the whole a lively
and profitable debate. The
boys of S. W. T. N. did credit
to themselves and the school,
and the visiting gentlemen did
able work and were clean and
sportsman-like. The last thing
that happened before a great
out burst of applause and en-
thusiasm was the reading of
a two to one decision of the
judges in favor of Southwest
Texas Normal.
