Folk Festival
Beta Alpha Sigma
With sighs and regrets, the
Beta Alpha Sigmas are closing
another school year. The pur-
pose of this club which was or-
ganized in the school year of
1933-34, is to promote the social,
.moral and intellectual qualities of
its ten new members and those
of the past years. The girls who
belong are active in all phases
of college life. Along with learn-
ing, we the B. A. S. learn to live
congenially and look back on our
college days with a fueling of
complete satisfaction.
In addition to its weekly Mon-
day night meetings, the club gave
several informal parties through
the year—one wiener roast, one
party at the Elks Club, and. one
big chili supper.
Last Sunday, May 10, the band
motored up into the beautiful hill
country to attend the Folk Fes-
tival which was being held in
Fredericksburg. 'We left here at
9 o’clock and arrived in Fred-
ericksburg about 12 o’clock. Ev-
eryone had to take dinner with
them as no dinner was provided.
A group went to the Fredericks-
burg Park and ate their sand-
1 wiches and fruit and drank their
soda water. At 2:30 the program
began in the high school audi-
torium. The following program
was. rendered-:-.

Sophomore Day
.After much discussion and ar-
gumentation, Sophomore Day
was held May 12, at Lake Mc-
Queeney.
At nine in the morning the
Sophs left and swimming, boat-
ing', lounging, etc., were indulged
in.
The hurriedly prepared lunch
of wieners, buns, potato chips,
pickles and iced tea was certain-
ly devoured by everyone present.
This day brought together all
of the Sophomores who will end
their schooling here soon. We
certainly enjoyed this day of
mirth, and here’s wishing all of
the Sophs the best of everything
in life.
The Footlight Dramatic Club is
closing a very successful year
with the presentation of the
plays “Smokescreen,” “The For-
gotten man,” and “The Blue Tea-
pot” Thursday nieht Theise
plays are all only one-act which
will give the audience variety.
One is a dramatic tragedy, reli-
gion is the theme of another and
still another is humorous. The
casts of the three and the direc-
tor feel that, these plays will b.
enthusiasticaiiy deceived by an
appreciative audience on Thurs-
day night at the Lutheran Parish
House.
Review of Dramatic Club
Without a Department of
Speech or a special coach, the
Footlight Dramatic Club has
done much work this year under
the leadership of Professor Wied-
eraenders. On Homecoming Day
“The Marriage of Francis Arden”
was presented. A few days before
Christmas a Christmas pageant
was successfully given. It is in-
teresting to note that this pag-
eant was written by members of
the faculty and members of the
student body. On March 15,
Texas Lutheran College won sec-
ond place in the District Junior
College play contest which was
held in Seguin. The play pre-
sented was “Smokescreen.” Two
members of the cast were put on
the all-star cast. This inspiring
year for those interested in dra-
matics and their audience will

treasurer was too busy eating to
make his speech and our spon-
sor asked for a recipe to the meal.
The reporter at this time, in be-
half of the organization, wants
to thank those who gave their
time to make our outing and sup-
per a success.
The Newtonians was formerly
the Engineering Society at Texas
Lutheran College, but after chang-
ing its constitution it became the
Science Club. It has quite a large
membership, and its members
feel that the time they have spent
with our splendid society has
been well worth their while. The
Newtonians have made three suc-
cessful trips during the course of
the year. The first to the Alamo
Iron Works, second to New Braun-
fels Textile Mills and San Anto-
nio Public Service Co., third to
Randolph Field, and last to. Lake
McQueeney to enjoy the barbe-
cue supper our fellow members
prepared for us.
The Newtonians did splendid
work this year, and those that
will be back next year are going
to try to do even better.
We want to take this opportu-
nity to thank those members of
the faculty who have encouraged
us in our work and cooperated
with us in making our various
field trips possible.

in a greater benefit for the. girls;;

There were two types of bas-
