“Y” NEWS
On Monday night the first Y. W. C.
A. social was held in the gym of the
Ed. building. Miss Hearne lead us
i na sing-song and much of the fellow
feeling was derived from singing the
songs that everybody hums. A clever
farce was then given by some ten girls
picturing the thrilling romance of a
suitor for the hand of the daughter of
Knig of Cannibal Islands. The tra-
gedy of the cow and the lonesome
Spine followed. In a one-act play we
saw the seriousness of surgerp under
the hand of the skilled Dr. McDavid.
After these stunts the girls were all
asked to come into the hall and get
classified. Many yells and stunts were
pulled off by the member of the differ-
ent classes; among them the “Freshie
Glee”, “Soph Hop”, “Junior Prom.”
“Senior Ball (Bawl)”. After a few
more songs, red stick candy and apples
were served—all girls were invited to
join the Y. W. C. A. and everybody
left with many kind and happy remem-
brances of first of “good times” in S
W. T. N. C.
The membership drive that was held
on Tuesday and Wednesday resulted
in over one hundred members. It is
hoped that before long, nearly every
girl in school will become a member
of this organization. They are sure to
want to belong after they see what the
“Y” really is—eventually, why not now?
and Los Angeles, all of which goes to
prove that she is a ‘sure nuf Western-
*er. One very secial thing about Miss
Hearne is that she knows how to give
people a tremendously good time.”
The girls of S. W. T. N. C. are al-
ready. realizing what Miss Hearne is
going to mean to them in their college
life.
j STARRING |
The first Vesper service of the Y. W.
C A. was held last Tuesday afternoon
in room 13 at 4 o’clock. ' After the de-
votionals, Gertrude Berry sang “Re-
member Now Thy Creator”, and Mr.
Arnold gave a beautiful talk on service.
Election of officers followed with
these results: president, Elsie Sauer;
vice-president, Ila Lowman; secretary,
Grace Cavness; treasurer, Bernice
Evans. Members of the cabinet are:
membership, Ila Lowman; social, Mar-
tha Woodson; publicity, Flossie Run-
nels; finance, Bernice Evans; Bible
study, Ruth Knispel; service, Winifred
Thalmann; practical needs, Sallie

most lively organizations in Normal all
last year, affords its members credit
for work done in it.
For the women there are three liter-
ary societies, the Idyllic, Pierian and
Shakespeare. Each of these organiza-
tions have a limited membership, so it
is good advice to all young ladies that
intend to take part in society work
this year to become affiliated at once
with one of these live organizations
before they are all full.
For the men there are two societies,
the Chautauqua and the Harris-Blair.
It is from these two societies that Nor-
mal draws her debating teams each
year. It is the policy of both organiza-
tions to advise new students to visit
both societies before joining any, so
all young men who intend joining a
literary society can watch the bulletin
boards and learn when each has its
meeting.
For students interested in economic
and social problems, the Economic De-
partment fosters the Country Life
Club. This a social club as well as a
literary organization, and in the pasr
many students have found The Country
Life Club a most pleasant place to
spend an hour or so a week.
Everybody, get into some literary
society! You need one and one needs
you.

Capt. Henry “Pete” Shands
Hypocrite
He, (making the time worn excuse):
“I’m afraid we’ll have to stop here, the
engine’s getting pretty warm.”
Fair companion: “You are such a
hypocrite, you always say the engine. ’
—Judge.
S. W. T. N. C. is very fortunate in
getting Miss Hearne of Texas Uni-
versity for a “Y” secretary. The fol-
lowing item was found in the South-
western Y. W. C. A. News Bulletin—
“One of the nicest things of all is that
Southwest Texas Normal is to have a
secretary, Miss Irene Hearne of Cadde
Mills, Texas. She has juist come from
Y. W. C. A. work in Globe, Arizona
Fish: “I see Marconi has invented a
machine that will send five hundred
words a minute.”
Prof. Bachle: “That’s nothing, I
married one.”

Among the out of state students re-
gistering this term are Miss June Alex-
ander and her brother, Loean, from
Belven, Ohio.

It used to be said around Normal
that Pete Shands Was just an all ’round
good football player. That he never
executed any spectacular plays and
that he never pulled any bones, but
was just an all ’round steady good
player. That in itself is a compliment
that any grid man can well be proud
of, but those who watched Pete per-
form from time to time in the games
last Fall can not help but agree that
the stellar quarter back passed above
that reputation and broke into the
realm of stardom. That is well evid-
enced by the action ot the team last
year at their annual banquet when they
chose Pete to lead the Bobcats on the
field this year.
Capt. Shands is a veteran at Normal
and great things are expected of him
this year. Naturally his work will be
harder than ever before in that he will
hold down a place in the back field and
at the same time play the role of cap-
tain. But football teams do not pick
ordinary men to shoulder that load
and that is why the 1920 Bobcats put
the responsibility on Pete. We all
know he can do it and have the utmost
confidence in his ability to run the
team smoothly. Not only is he looked
to as a valuable ground gainer and
punter, but also to steady the whole
team when the pinch comes, and to
imbube into his men the necessary
punch to put the ball over the line.
Pete first wore the Normal uniform
back in 1917. He was out during the
season of 1919 but returned last year.
This will make his fourth year under
Normal’s standards. Not only is he a
football man, but a baseball and basket
ball player as well.
Two weeks of the training camp
passed before Pete returned from Mex-
ico, and some were doubting his re-
turn. Things did look dark at the
thought of his not coming back, but
when he appeared on the campus one
day last week Bobcat stocktook a big
leap skyward.
Captain Shands leads the Bobcats on
the gridiron at Georgetown today for
the opening game of the 1921 season,
and we are all pullin’ and pushin’ too,
for him and the fightin’ Cats to tame
the Pirates.

hovered over his band of followers on
Normal Hill when they met Tuesday,
October 4th, to begin the year’s work.
The meeting was a business one and
many plans were discussed whereby the
Club may maintain its standing as the
peppiest club in our Alma Mater.
The selecting of necessary officers
was first attended to and the follow-
ing officers were elected: Eula Ward,
president; Fay Harris, treasurer; Non
Douglas McGauighy, secretary and Eli-
zabeth Flake, Star Reporter. Two im-
portant committees were appointed, one
for social purposes and the other to ar-
range the programs for the Fall term.
Janie Hopson, chairman, working with
Maizine Grady composed the program
committee, while Lenora Walters,
chairman, and Bernice Evans made up
the social committee.

Miss Era Worthy spent the week end
visiting relatives near San Marcos.
Jones-Permenter
Mr. William E. Jones and Miss Ru-
bie Fermenter were united in marriage
on Thursday of last week at the home
of the bride in Corsicana. The groom
is a resident of this city being now
employed by the Universal Motor Com-
pany. After a few days visit in Cor-
sicana they will be at home in San
Marcos.
Mrs. H. A. Merrill, who will be
remembered as Gladys Flower, sends
greetings from Los Angeles.
At ten o clock last Monday morning
there was a mad rush for the auditor-
ium. When the storm passed away
there were twenty three charming
voices sweetly and harmoniously sing-
ing the mellow strains of “Good Night
Beloved”. There was not only a “good
night” but there was a “good morning.”
All this was the beginning of Nor-
mal s 1921-22 Liberty Chorus, which,
if judging the future by the past, is to
be an important adjunct at all public
functions on the hill this year. The
Chorus is directed by Miss Mary
Stewart Butler, who organized it in
1918.
It was all Miss Butler could do to
i estrain the enthusiasm of the chorus
singers and with ajj^everylastingly cer-
tain understanding <Tf the spirit of the
occasion she suggested a picnic. Miss
Butler’s instinctive knowledge of Nor-
mal psychology is to be highly praised.
The date for the picnic will be in the
very near future and since there is but
one more meeting before the merry
feast it is important that all students
wishing to take part should see that
their names are on the roll. “When
the roll is called out yonder, we’ll be
there.”—Will you?

FOR CLASS RINGS ' I
The average college student that at-
tends school, in America is inteijpsted
mo*re or less in literary societies and
literary work. Normal, recognizing
this interest manifested by college stu-
dents, possesses ample containers for
the flood of literary talent that flows
through her gates every year. Aside
from the religious organizations on the
hill, the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A.
there are more than half a dozen purely
literary societies for both men and
women. Some of the societies have be-
gun their year’s work, the others will
get under way in due time. One of
these societies, The Rabbit’s Foot
Dramatic Club, which was one of the
