ARY SOC’TY PLANS
ANNUAL BANQUET
Chautaqua Banquet Is One Of
The Big- Things of Year; To
Be Sometime Soon.
Girls you had better find out who
belongs to the Chautauqua Literary
Society and begin treating them nice.
The Chauitauquans are going to pull
the “event of the year” soon, and the
girls who have fellows that belong to
the Chautauqua Literary Society are
going to be in on the ground floor.
They are going to hafe their annual
Banquet, and people let me tell you
you a little bit of news which may be of
real value to you. When the Chautau-
qua Literary Society does a thing, it
does it right. There is nothing short
in this Society, it is composed of real
men, whose motto is, “Do a thing
right if it takes the last drop of your
blood.”
The Society staged a banquet last
year, which was pronounced by those!
present to be the best of the year, and i Misionary Committee

Associations Work Is Carefully
Planned and Large Budgets
Worked Out; Already Suc-
cessful Work Has Been Done.
Our College Y Associations, with a
grand total of 366 in membership and
carrying a total budget of $855.00, has
secured a firm hold in our institution
that will never waver, but steadily con-
tinue to improve as improvement moves
on in the bigger field of S.W.T.N.C. as
years go by.
So as to place definite and official
information at the disposal of the As-
sociations’ members and any who may-
be interested, the following is disclos-
ed. The Y.M.C.A. with a membership
of 65 men has adopted a budget total-
ling $300.00 which is apportioned among
a system of committees. The Y.W.C.
A. with a much larger membership of j
301 has adopted a budget of $555 which
is similarly apportioned among divis-
ioned units.

ELLISON-WHITE CHAU-
TADQDA HERE APR. 13-19
Wide and Varied Program Again
Presented This Year; People
of City Foster Coming of the
Chautauqua As In Past.
The first news of the Chautauqua pro-
gram for this year has just been re-
ceived here. That a truly gala week is
in store .for the lecture, music and en-
tertainment lovers is evident from these
first reports. The dates for the Elli-
son-White Chautauquo have been defin-
itely set for April 13th to 19th.
First in musical importance comes A.
F. Thaviu and twenty-five selected
members of his celebrated Exposition
Band. Honors have been heaped up-
on this distinguished musician, who
now ranks with Sousa and Creators as
one of the leaders in his chosen pro-
fession. Unprecendented attendance
will undoubtedly greet the Band at
their two concerts on the last day.
The artists recital on the third night
by James Hamilton assisted by the
Mixed Orchestra Quartet will be ano-
ther musical highlight. With a tenor
voice, dramatic in quality, sweet and
powerful, and a magnetic stage pre-
sence, Hamilton will sing himself
straight into the hearts of his hearers.
The fifth day, too, will be full of in-
terest to lovers of good music. Leslie
Taylor, dainty Scotch violinist, pupil
of the great Auer, and Guy Marriner,
New Zealand pianist, present a full pro-
gram in the afternoon. Mr. Marriner
is fast becoming a Chautauqua favor-
ite in this country as well .as his na-
tive land. During the past winter he
has been studying under the master
hand of Josef Lhevinne.
In bringing the much discussed co-
medy “Turn to the Right” to this city,,
Chautauqua is helping materially in
fulfilling its mission of community op-i
lift, for, paradoxical as it may seetn,
this great play is also a powerful ser-
mon that is wielding an influence" fof

TOTAL.________$555.00
There is quite a large field that eith-
er had been unforseen or had been con-
sidered of less importance at the time
cf adoption early in the late Fall. There
is a quota for sending delegates to the
Y M. Conention at Hollister, Mo. and
a probable addition to the Y. W. quota
for sending delegates to the Women’s
Convention at Ester Park, Colorada.
Then there will also be the ‘23-‘24
Handbook to finance during the Sum-
mer.
At the beginning of this year the As-
sociation planned their working pro-
gram for the year, and have since en-
deavored to carry it out. The “Col-
lege Night” program and the joint so-
cial were carried out by both organi-
zations. Likewise the Handbook, the
Night School, Playground Supervision,
successful membership drives, business
socials and gatherings etc. have been
carried through.
Especialy, in addition to these, was
the securing of and helping to secure
both local and special speakers to ad-
dress the members, the school, and the

To Play Two Excellent Plays:
Shakespeare’s “Much Ado
About Nothing” and Shaw’s
“Arms and the Man.”
It is too frequently argued t~-
intelligent public has lost its desire for
the plays of Shakespeare and for.goo 1
plays in general. This is a fallacy.
The public vacillates, it is true, but
there will always be a demand in each
growing generation for the best of the
drama and for. Shakespeare’s plays
Popularizing such plays, is the mission
of the Devereux Company, headed by
Mr. Clifford Devereux with Miss Zen-
ita Graf in chief support, who will ap-
pear in “Romeo and Juliet” at the Nor-
mal on Saturday, March 24 matinee
and at night.
Those who made this interesting en-
gagement possible deserve the thanks
of lovers of real dramatic art. The
company’s well balanced reading and
perfect enunciation of Shakespearean
text has impressed itself on the most
critical audiences to be found in the
country. There' is scarcely a univer-
sity or college of prominence in the
United States that has not engaged the
Devereux players for one or more per-
formances in the past two years.
Mr. Devereux learned his Shakes-
peare in an exacting school. He was
for a number of seasons one of the
leading performers in the Southern
and Marlowe Company, though he was
also one of the youngest members of
that famous organization. This is Mr.
Devereux’s eight season at the head of
his own company.
The palys to be presented are “Much
Ado About Nothing” and Shaw’s
“Arms and the Man.”
PRESIDENT EVANS
GOES TO DALLAS
HOME ECONOMICS DEPT.
PRESENTS STYLE SHOW
Nearly a Hundred Dresses Worn
By Makers Are Displayed
In Novel Show.
On Monday evening, March 12th,
the students of the Home Economics
departments of the Southwest Texas
State Normal College presented to
the public the dresses which had been
made in the sewing clasess, both po-
cational and elective. There were
nearly one hundred dresses, each one
being worn by the girl who had de-
signed and made it. The presentation
was in the form of a clever little play
showing the opening of a very smart
shop, models being called in to show
the customers the desired type of
dress.
The dresses included school dresses,
street dresses, light spring dresses
taffetas and other silk materials.
Nothing was received with omre ap-
plause than the children’s models worn
by five little girls who posed beau-
tifully.
PROF. THOMAS WRITES
FROM DNIV. MISSOURI
Letter Received By Editor of the
Star Too Long to Be
Published.
Wednesday’s mail was fruitful in-
deed, in that it brought to the editor
a letter whose magnitude was greater
than anything he has ever received be-
fore in hte form of a letter. To be
exact the epistle contained only twenty
two typewritten' pages, therefore too
long to publish in the columns of the
paper although we would hape liked to
hafe published it.
Mr. Thomas evidently has and is
doing some honest to goodness work
in the University of Missouri. He
makes frequent mention of his work
and seems to be especially interested in
it. He has written several papers of
research; more than that, he has re-
ceived commendable praise from such
men as Dr. Carter and Dr. Hoffman.
We regret very much that "we are
not able ot publish the letter, for it
contains many a little thing which the
old admirers of Mr. and Mrs. Tho-
mas like and admire them for.
We will say that the letter is typical
of Gates Thomas from start to finish.
Mr. Thomas completes his graduate
Attends Meeting of Normal Pre-
sidents to Discuss
Legislation.
President Evans of the Normal Col-
lege is in Dallas today attending the
meeting of the State Normal Presi-
dents of Texas. The meeting is be-
ing held at the Westbrook Hotel in Ft.
Worth.
The purpose of the coming together
of the presidents of the State Normal
Colleges is to discuss the budgets of
the respective Normal Colleges and to
lay plans for going before the Texas
Legislature when it convenes in spe-
cial session.

SOPHONORES DE-
FEAT OTHER THREE
CLASSES El TO 20
Class of ’25 Makes Good Boasts
Made Last Week; Kallina Re-
ceives Unjust Treatment At
Hands of Horton and Hildreth
The Sophs proved to the school their
ability to play basketball when they
met and defeated the team composed of
Seniors, Juniors and Freshmen last
Monday night. The Sophs say that
they have not much of a score to crow
over, yet they maintain that a win by
one point is as good as one by a score.
The game was a free-for-all from the
start to finish, both teams exhibiting a
good brand of basketball. The score
was close all the way through neither
team ever getting an edge of more than
four points on the other.
Kallina complains at the treatment he
received at the hands of his two
friends, Horton and Hiddret.h, His
four personals he says, were not the
result of what he did, but rather of
what his two aforementioned young
friends did to him.
Sophomores Recommend Themselves
Highly
Here is an account of how the game
looked to a Sophomore. Whether said
Sophomore is a prejudiced individual
or whether this is really an account
of what he saw, we reprint the account
ver batim:
‘The Result”
“It was comical to see the beef-trust
of the All-College floundering about
on a basketball court last night. They
were bewildered by the lightning like,
systematic offense and defense unveil-
ed by hte wily Soph team. The indi-
vidual efforts of Horton and Hildreth
to star were miserable failures while
Warren, Brown and Bell must have
been educated in a wrestling school.
Barrow was meerly an onlooker while
Kennig was better than any rooting
section that could have been mustered
up by the ’-'hole town.”
“On the ocher hand it would be
hard to pick a single flaw in the Soph’s
wonderful aggregation. Kallina time
and again would turn his .nent’s
offense into his own. In ...iderli’s
green breeches was Kadcrli and he
played such a smashing offense that

The Normal Orchestra lent to the
spirit of the entertainment by the

of the orchestra, is to be complimented
and praised for the success which she
and the orchestra have attained.
