tional Educational Association sev-
eral trips of inspection will be
made to Normasl of Middle
West—”. Still another head reads:
“Normal Defeats Martindale in a
Double-Header of Basketball.”
We envy the editor, Porter, and
Manager Day, of 1917 of aid rep-
resented by 2nd, 3rd editor and
1st, 2nd assistant editor; and edi-
tor of business staff with 1st, 2nd,
3nd assistant managers.
Absence of records for 1918 is
probably due to suspended action
during the war; a comeback is
seen for 1919 with Barnhouse edi-
tor and R. Hays maanger.
Hooray! Five columns are spread
across 1920’s Star, with Ed Walke
as editor and Shepherd as busi-
ness manager. We find three
prominent heads crying: “Physical
Education Adds a New Teachers
Course”, “S. W. T. N. Victorious
Over S. M. A. Cubs Thanksgiving”,
and “S. W. T. N. Club at the Uni-
versity Entertains.”
Ben Baines and L. C. McDonald
headed the sheet for 1921. Some
real news in this banner: “Bobcats
Take Two From Howard Payne”.
Another tells us: “Mr. Smith to
Teach in University of Chicago”,
and a story below it hints of
Dramatic Club action. Students
received the weekly on Saturday
afternoons.
The ears on the 1922 edition
were graced with inviting ads, such
as “Cold Drinks at Blotz’s”. It’s
interesting to see the headline in
this issue that: “Normal Admitted
to T.I.A.A.” Baines was again
ewitor and Weir was manager.
Herschel Hopson was assistant to
Yancy Yarbrough as editor in ’24,
and Turner Kaderli served the
term of manager. The next year
Emmett Shelton and Kaderli man-
aged to £et along with the aid of
some 26 assistants.
Issues in ’26 bloomed out with
six coulmns and into the hands of
anxious readers on Wednesdays.
Some of us are more or less famil-
iar with the major details of the
publication since then. Below is
the list of those who carried on
up to date:
1917—Frank Vance, editor; Bert
Wilcut, manager.
1928— Manton Ellis, editor;
“Flossie” Harden, manager.
1929— Walter McKinney, editor;
Pat Ford, manager.
1930— “Babe” Kennedy, editor;
“Slatz” Frazer, manager.
1931— Osier Dunn, editor; Har-
vie Yoe, manager.
1932— “Slick” Cox, editor; Elmo
Meredith, manager.
1933— Roy McWilliams, editor;
Russell Forester, manager.
However brief this may seem,
there were, nevertehless, important
‘highlights during those years. In-
terest reached a peak back in 1925,
when the paper became a volup-
tious seven column affair. In the
summer of that year English clas-
ses assisted in the Contributions.
Quite a boost to the added load
was the presence and functioning
of the College Press Club (which
could help any paper anytime). D.
A. Snellings and H. E. Speck were
Faculty Advisers during ’28, as re-
corded. And we must not over-
look a “shot” of the ’29 staff
showing the inimitable Bob Cone,
local news maker, in concentrative
pose. Looks like another scoop!
The following year, Woods and
Richards, versatile reporters, reach-
ed into the trick bag and lo! El
Toro sounded his natal bellow!
Kennedy established himself also
in waxing warmly editorialists.
Publication for the following two
years was under the able super-
vision of Gates Thomas. But back
into the hands of the students in
the summer of ’32, with Swift
peddling the typewriter. During
that same period was born the all-
seeing and terrific Periscope —
thanks to one Gus LaRue Barr.
Thus it was that the STAR
grew from a slight twinkle on the
southwest hill to a magnitudinous
and stellar periodical, giving the
“low-down”, opinion, and amuse-
ment to students of old Alma Ma-
ter; surviving the criticism and
riding the praise for all these twen-
ty-five years.

liams, Donald Ogden Stewart and
others, and was also shown suc-
cessfully as a movie production,
with such stars as Ann Harding,
Robert Ames and Edward Everett
Horton. It has also proved popu-
lar with many of the leading non-
professional theatres throughout
the country.
Lively Plot
The plot centers about Johnny
Case, a successful business exe-
cutive, who wants to make his mark
in the world at an early age in or-
der that he can enjoy himself in
life. He falls in love with Julia
Seton whose rich father wants
him to join his firm. Still stick-
ing to his pet theory of playing
while he is able to appreciate life,
Johnny refuses. Linda Seton,
Julia’s sister, enters into the pic-
ture and agrees with Johnny one
time too many, the point being, of
course, that Johnny marries her
instead.
Novel Settings
Perhaps the most spectacular
set of the year has been arranged
by J. Edwin Smith, assisted by
Andy Alexander, Charles Foers-
ter, and Charles Zunker. The sec-
ond act setting was designed by
Loyce Traylor, art director, as-
sisted by Marjorie Johns, and
Crystal Miears. The setting is
unique in design, showing up, as
it were, like a friendly gathering
of toy animals of Mother Goose
rhymes, or the like.
Assisting the director, Monroe
Lippman, is Eleanor Parke, while
make-up will be incharge of Char-
lotte Nesbitt and Reagan Nesbitt.
Business manager of the produc-
tion is York Willbern, while Inez
Stocker and Catherine Richards
have been pursuing the properties.
Jack Wright still retains his job
as call boy.
It is hoped that large crowds
will be in attendance at each per-
formance, this being the final pro-
duction of the year.
EL TORO
(Continued from Page One)
without crossed fingers. We feel
that such is not destructive critic-
ism and should be faced open-
mindedly and with appreciation of
reality, if nothing else.
We mentioned jokingly last week
the situation of lettering an ath-
lete on a very fortunate fourth
place tie. A rather paradoxical
situation has arisen in the racquet
wielders ranks. It seems a cer-
tain individual has given his ef-
forts willingly and commendably,
winning a total of some eleven
matches in tournament play, but,
according to system of awarding
the coveted distinction, he gets on-
ly honorable mention—no letter.
We do not intend to appear biased
or prejudiced; just one of those
persons who have the most un-
popular shortcoming of resenting
an injustice.
Some few of the anticipating
members of the graduating class
are experimenting on measures
whereby they may keep “cool as a
cucumber” while draped in the in-
evitable robes significant of their
distinction, listening to the various
formalities prior to becoming hold-
ers of the degree of bachelor of
something or other.
In quest of news we visited the
set being prepared for the current
College Theater production where
the “midgets” are plying their
hands so diligently. They are at-
tempting to rearrange the produc-
tion to include a maximum of
moonlight scenes in accordance
with a deficiency in lights—ap-
propriations for which having gone
afoul. Hint: You might include in
the next show a scene using a cy-
clone fence.
eaten regularly and also a given
amount and we’re as close to a job
now as we were last year this
time; so don’t worry—all the
green flies will turn blue!
Sentence somethings: Are you
coming back this summer? . . .
There’s the veteran teacher who
comes to school all summer to
take Ed. 251 . . We can boast of
an attractive campus and plenty of
shady benches . . . Please give po-
sitions for drinking out of the
fountain on the quad . . . Don’t ever
spell dont without an apostrophe.
. . Potash was manufactured from
the ash of sunflowers in Russia as
far back as the 16th century . . El
Toro has accomplished a great
deal this year . . Candidates for
the chief publication jobs for 1933-
34 numbered one each—the college
should consider itself fortunate
that at least there are two ambi-
tious youths—or something—reg-
istered at the present . . The li-
brary is getting popular as exam
time draws nigh . . How many of
you are planning to write for the
Star this summer? Say, ‘aye’.
Now comes the endurance con-
test of Pedagog autograph hun-
ters. Come prepared with a rub-
ber stamp of the usual “Enjoyed
knowing you, etc.” and save your
arm. Let’s see, what’s a good
variation for that—it might get
stale after while. Oh yes, the one
that goes “Roses are red—May-
be I can do better on this one—I
don’t know her very well; I’ll just
sign my name like this. Ah! That
was easy. How many do you have
in yours? Who was it that absent-
mindedly signed “Mr. and Mrs.
John Smith?” All right, all right,
we’ll hush.

Ruth Little, and Josephine New-
berry.
Caps were awarded members of
the council for their efficient work.
In addition to the regular rou-
tine activities, the W.A.A. spon-
sored three tennis tournaments.
The winners in each of these were
presented awards. Grace McMur-
ray, winner of girls’ singles, was
presented a silver loving cup. Gold
pins were presented the girls’
diubles winners, Grace McMurray
and Louise Kneuper. Minature
gold tennis racquets were awarded
Louise Kneuper and Harper Bass,
winners of the mixed doubles af-
fair.
According to tradition the presi-
dent for next year is elected at this
last affair, Jo Newberry being elec-
ted to guide the club through its
activities.
Misses Mitchell and Sterry were
guests of the annual fete. All in
But in spite of the depression,
it has been a great year. Agree
with us, you mugs! We have all
all the W.A.A. has been most ac-
tive this year and much of its suc-
cess has been due to the coppera-
tion and efficient leadership of
Miss McDowell, the faculty spon-
sor.

Second, they argue that the sum-

months term, fits in exactly with
the term plan, but would not with
the semester plan.
But all arguments have ceased
now as preparation for the open-
ing of the fall term under the sem-
ester plan is under way. The Tex-
as Teachers Colleges now join with
the other state colleges and with
a majority of all other colleges
in the nation in a uniform plan of
instruction.
