THE FLAPPER’S QUESTION
THE CHEERFUL LIAR
, -. r. —
There are as many varieties
of the Liar Tribe as Solomon had
wives. But the one that enters
into our present discussion is
that harmless and useful speci-
men known as the Cheerful Liar.
His scientific classification is
“Toreador” which in Latin means
“Bull-Tosser.”
Here is the way that the
Cheerful Liar gets in his work.
You happen to be “all in” phy-
sically. In fact, you're so tow
that you hear slow music and
smell lilies coming your way on
high. You start for the doctor's,
whom you decide to see for a
spell before calling in the under-
taker.
On your way you happen to
meet the Cheerful Liar, breez-
ing along and leading his bull on
a silken cord.
He grabs your hand in his
magnetic mitt and starts pump-
ing you fulll of pep. He tells
you that you’re looking perfectly
splendid and younger than you
did ten years ago, and then pro-
ceeds to slip you an earful of
short stories not passed by the
Board of Censors.
You know he’s lying ilke a hy-
ena; but somehow or other, he
puts the works on you and, un-
der the spell of his pleasant prat-
tle, your spine stiffens, your ar-
teries soften, you take a deep
breath, and are surprised to find
that little old heart of yours hit-
ting again on all cylinders.
By George, you’ve got to hand
at to that guy! He’s a sure cure
for the mentail blues, for he bulls
you from blue thought into
blood-red action .... every time.
Long live the Cheerful Liar!
He helps to make life worth liv-
ing. May his bull prosper and
his herd increase!
I know what let’s do,
Let’s talk a little while
About the modern girl
And her futuristic style.
You call her just a flapper
And more than that a flirt.
You notice every tiny thing
To the shortness of her skirt.
You criticise her every move
It seems ’tis all you do.
But have you ever stopped to think
Just what she does go thru?
A girl must fit herself for work
Just as a boy to-day.
She never knows just what she’ll
meet,
She climbs a rugged way.
She does the work that womans done
Thru all the centuries gone.
She rears our coming generation
And does it with a song.
BUCK’S BUNK
She’s sweetheart, wife, and mother
with heart that’s just as true
As that of any girl who lived
A century past or two.
She’s business woman, stern and quick
As any man you know.
She meets you in a business way
As man to man does so.
Before you judge, please, won’t you
try
To see the good in her.
I’m sure you’ll find a lot of good
That will surpise you, sir.
Now then, since we were talking—
Just you and I to-day
And I’ve expressed my feelings
Just what have you to say?
Bera Brown.
Spanish May
Festival Planned
It is rumored that there will possi-
bly be a T. I. A. A. dance after the
meet May 11, provided the students
want it. What do you say studes?
If you want the dance and want it
bad, tell Dean Speck about it. Of
course if you don’t say anything he’ll
naturally decide that you aren’t in-
terested.

Well, let’s see—the Cats journeyed
over to Austin and strutted some real
track form in the Five way meet at
the Memorial Stadium. Looks good
for the Cats.

The diamond celestials dropped a
game Monday to Howard Payne with
a score of 9 to 5, which doesn’t sound
so good, but several Bobcat players
were not in the game—maybe it isn’t
so bad after all.
o—o
The Austin players claim that the
Texas U. team that won the meet at
Austin were the extras. Nothing
like boasting your own school, is
there ?

What has happened to the tennis
squad? We’d like to hear from them

Since the big leagues have begun
playing the bets and guesses are fly-

be a banner year in the history of
baseball.

The new San Antonio team name,
Indians, doesn’t yet seem to have
broken the jinx on them. Maybe they
will come out of it yet though. Quien

One-Act Play
Contest Held Here
Mr. Read, head of the Spanish De-
partment, has announced that the de-
partments of the college and the
Training School will have a festival,
May 13 at Riverside. There will be
bits of Spanish life presented, songs
and dances, and there will be a radio
hook-up for the music. The main
feature of the festival will be the cor-
onation of the queen whose identity
has been kept a secret, after which
there will be the Maypole dance. Only
students of the two Spanish depart-
ments will paricipate in the festival,
which is the first of its kind to be giv-
en by the students in the history of
the institution.
