Thyra Howard—Tuesday night
I left here for Longview—not my
home. Went to Gilmer—still not
my home. On Saturday I started
for Madisonville (home). After
riding all over East Texas we fin-
ally found one road that was still
in fairly good condition. Found
Madisonville in water—making the
town excellent for ducks—but I
had a wonderful time.
Verna Grace Hoyt—My home at
' Katy, Texas, is the place I stayed
most of my time. A small part of
it was spent at a chicken supper
in the church basement (of course,
the time was well spent). Friday

I went to Houston and waded
around ankle deep. That night I
went to Goose Creek and waded
around in some more water.
Charles Edwards—Ah! What a
Thanksgiving! I still have the af-
ter feeling! San Antonio is a won-
derful place to spend the holidays,
if you know the right people. Boy,
if you ever want to find some beau-
tiful girls that believe in having a
lot of fun just go to dear old San
A ntonio.
Kathleen Moore—Went home to
Lamesa—skated (this reporter
doesn’t get that) halfway and
swam ( we do get that) the other
half.
Lavon Holladay—-First, time to
go to “the God-forsaken ranch
country" where my parents have
just moved—Tilden. Pinned in with
mud in every direction!
Blackie Blackburn—I did not go
so far (Temple) but I had the fun,
at least I think so—went hunting
in the mud and rain.

of my holiday in Ft. Worth; then
Saturday morning I went to Hous-
ton on the T. C. U. special train.
| Artful 6lances
By Adeline Zindler
What I am about to say is not
a paid advertisement for the
Southwestern University Art De-
partment but it might well be. As
you know, Mr. Compton, head of
the art department, attended the
T. S. T. A. meeting in Fort Worth
recently, where he helped organ-
ize the Associated Art Instructors
of Texas, and was appointed pub-
licity chairman and member of
the board of directors to represent
Texas denominational colleges. Mr.
Compton reports on a matter
which will be of the greatest in-
terest to Southwestern students
now and in the future. Here is
what he told me:
“Dr. Woods, State Superinten-
dent of Education, told a small
group of us that within two years
at the very most, all affiliated
schools in Texas would be re-
quired to teach art courses. The
Associated Art Instructors of Texas,
with the fill 1 support of Dr. Woods
and Dr. Hereford, the college ex-
aminer, are going to insist on in-
creased and standardized art train-
ing. Now I was most agreeably
amazed to find that Southwestern’s
art department stands absolutely
at the top among Texas colleges so
far as art training is concerned.
We may have to offer a little more
training, but we will not have to
add one single thing that we are
not prepared for.
This may be good news to Kath-
leen Horn, Bobby Phillips, Lucy
Ringland, Patsy Baker, Jackie
Corey, .Tackle Tltswcrth, wnfl oth-
ers who are already taking art.
