The Shakespere
Girls Entertain.
On Saturday afternoon, April
15th, at 2 o’clock about forty o±
the young men of the Normal
were invited by the Shakespeare
Girls into Miss Hines’ room to be
present at their regular meeting.
Besides the regular program,
which was specially prepared for
the occasion, a luncheon was
served, and various games and
amusements were indulged in.
The occasion proved to be the
most enjoyable and pleasant so-
cial affair so far of this school
year.
It is well known that Miss
Hines has the reputation of be-
ing the best social entertainer in
San Marcos. So with her as ad-
visor and superintendent of the
arrangements, together with for-
ty-six Shakespeare Girls, as as-
sistants, the event was indeed
made a joyous one.
After assembling in the spa-
cious hail even body was imme-
diately made to feel at ease by
the gracious and winning man-
ners of the jolly Shakespeare
Girls, whose motto: “ ’Tis good
to be sad and say nothing.”
should have had a large interro-
gation mark after it, especially
on this occasion.
The girls had a large map of
the world on the wall, with the
names of forty-six prominent
cities of the world located on it.
Each boy was told to locate his
favorite city and check it; then
go to a table with slips of paper
arranged upon it, where he would
find the name of the same city
written on a slip. When he had
found the slip, with the name of
the city of his choice written on
the top side, he was to turn it
over, and on the other side he
would find the name of the girl
he was to accompany to luncheon
After .quite a good deal of specu-
lation and guessing as to whose
names were behind the names of
the various cities, the boys all
found partners.
Miss Moore then began the
sweet notes of a grand march, to
which the guests all marched
around the spacious hall and out
into the agricultural laboratory
room, where instead of corn and
various agricultural implements,
we found a beautifully decorated
room, with the large tables al-
most groaning under the weight
of delicious, dainty and whole-
some food.
To say it was enjoyed is ina.d-
adequate, for a feast like that
words of appreciation are lack-
ing to men of unpoetic imagina-
tion.
The feast closed with delicious
ice-cream, cake and general mer-
ry-making, after which the
crowd returned to the Physical
Culture hall. The house was
then called to order by the Shak-
speare president, Miss Anabel
Niblack, with Miss Annie Thig-
pen as secretary.
The following program was
rendered:
Motto: “ ’Tis good to be sad,
and say nothing,”
Roll call—Quotations from
Shakespeare.
Piano solo—Miss Edna Thomas.
Reading—Miss Erline Joiner,
Vocal solo—Miss Buena Vista
McGuire.
Piano solo—Miss Cornelia Ste-
vens.
Vocal solo—Miss Minnie De-
witt.
Vocal solo —Miss Moore.
This program was certainly a
treat in every particular.
At the close of the program
games were started and soon the
hall was one jolly scene of mer-
riment.
One game questions about two
lovers, the answers of which
were to be titles of Shaksneare’s
plays, was exceedingly interest-
ing and characteristic of the
Shakespeare girls’ society work.
Other games such as “Shoemak-
er’s Dance,” the “Cat and the
Mouse,” “Virginia Reel,” “Ger-
man Clap Dance,” etc. were en-
joyed to the fullest extent, the
music being furnished by Miss
Vloore.
One of the best treats, of the
afternoon, was Mr. Thomas’
singing. It is well known, [that
he was one of Varsity’s most
popular Glee Club singers But
very few of our students have
ever had an opportunity to hear
him. He held the gathering
with a charm and interest that
nothing could mar through many
popular happy-go-lucky songs,
including “Casey Jones” “Some-
one,” “Just a-weary in’ for you’’
etc. and others.
The entire afternoon was spent
in the most jolly informal man-
ner, which lent an especial charm
to the occasion. We will always
remember it as one of the best
pleasures of Normal life.
