Entered as second-class mail matter
at San Marcos, Texas, October, 1913.
In assuming- the editorial re-
sponsibility of The Star, the
editor-in-chief wishes ta say
that he will do all in his power
to make it a success, however,
this can not be done by one or
two persons. Unless the stu-
dent body works in the interest
of the paper by contributing
articles or Reporting happen-
ings you can not expect a good
newsy paper.
Our former edkor-in-chief,
who so successfully filled the
office, reports that he had a
hard time getting news for The
Star,, but rather than have an
inferior paper he noblv sacri-
ficed a great part of his time
in its interest.
If you wish to be loyal to
the school, the student body,
the best interest of yourself and
The Star, see that everything
of interest to the students is'
reported. Don’t waitYor your
neighbors to turn it in, do it
yourself.

Last week’s issue of the East
Texan, published at Commerce,
was dedicate.d to the memory
of W. L. Mayo, who died on
March 14.
The memory of this great
educator is an inspiration to all
who knew and loved him. He
was a friend to any youth
seeking an education, and has
done more for them than any
other educator in Texas.
Prof. Mayo was a former
teacher and friend of the ed-
itor-in-chief.
While all America has
waited anxiously to learn the
official development of our
present National crisis, no-
where could there have been
comparatively, a more enthu-
siastic outburst of patriotism
than in old S. W. T. N., when
the morning papers of April
third brought the news of the
latest action in Washington.
Chapel period Tuesday morning
was characterized by * expres-
sions of patriotism and of
National feeling, and arrange-
ments were announced for a
patriotic demonstration to be
held on the following day.
When the name of our beloved
president was mentioned by the
speaker of the day, who had
been associated with him from
time to time, a thrilling chorus
of cheers went up from the stu-
dent body. Over the campus
during the day groups of stu-
dents continued their expres-
sions of patriotism and loyalty
to the Stars and Stripes. Later
when President Evans an-
nounced that under the direc-
tion of Mr. Marsh and Mr.
Baker, men of military exper-
ience, military drill would be
instituted for the students, the
cheering rose to a climax. Also
the fact that P. E. credit would
be given for this work demon-
strated the fact that the
faculty is also loyal and are
willing to give credit for the
time taken in preparation for
National defense. A few of
our students have already re-
signed to take their position in
the ranks and we all stand
ready to defend our country
and the rights and freedom’she
has enabled us to enjoy so long.
We have shown that we have
the most loyal student body >n
school activities and we are
now ready to demonstrate our
National Loyalty in any
manner that our country de-
mands. ,
