Lutheran College
Congratulations!
Farewell of the Sophs
It is not with unmixed joy that we prepare to go. The breaking
of old habits; the leaving of familiar haunts is ever a source of some
pam. In the years we have spent in this school we have learned to
love it in a way that would have seemed impossible to us when we first
came here. Without doubt, this love will grow larger year by year after
we have gone. We recognize the ties which bind us to this school. We
are not inclined, however, to permit the existence of these ties to lead
us into unreasonable and useless regrets. A school is life, and life is
movement, change, and progress. It is filled with just such farewells
and partings which, however sad they may seem at the moment, lead
to better and nobler things. We must leave the old in order to enjoy
the new. Life at Lutheran College has been pleasant, and our time
has been more or less profitably spent. Now we move forward, in keep-
ing with the plan of life, facing ever to the future. To our school we
swear undying devotion. To those who remain here we say: “Carry on!”

The Editor’s Swan Song
“Like a good start there’s nothing like a good finish.”
After the sophomores have been graduated, the freshmen advanced
and the academs induced to become fish, it is my sincere hope that
all the students of 1931 and various friends of the L.S.L. can say that
the staff tried in earnest to make both a good start and finish, with
a good in “in between” of the entire edition of the paper for this
year.
Now its goodbye. The finality of this word is softened by the Ger-
man ‘ ‘ aufwidersehen, ” which each of the departing staff eagerly ac-
cepts instead of the harsher word.
I, as the editor for 1931, have considered it a great privilege and
distinct honor to have been given the responsibility of editing The
Lone Star Lutheran.
However, first of all I offer due credit to our advisor and helper,
the well-liked and admired Prof. A. Streng. To the others of the
staff, who all have been of the greatest help and aid, I voice my most
sincere thanks and appreciation for your whole-hearted cooperation.
Without you The Lone Star Lutheran could not have been published.
Finally I rejoice if in being priviledged to be editor of the L.S.L.,
it in any way, no matter how small, has been instrumental in helping
or boosting our Lutheran College. In saying this, I know I voice the
thought of the entire staff. We are glad if we have been permitted
to do anything worthwhile or which is beneficial to our Alma Mater.

Attend Summer School
Summer School here at Lutheran College will prove advantageous
to both the shirker and the worker.
From Registration Day on June 3, until the six weeks are over, each
day will prove to be full of knowledge and fun. Fun, you say? Cer-
tainly—fun and play, for the Summer School Dean and adviser has
planned outings, picnics and rides for summer school students. As for
knowledge and education—the very best junior college instructors in
the State of Texas will be your teachers for the six weeks of real
“searching for the truth.” The courses offered are varied and numer-
ous; the costs are the lowest possible.
All in all—Summer School at Lutheran College offers a great many
advantages which should be influential in your decision to attend the
summer session here.

Onward
“Up and onward! Live in the present with glad thought of the past
and hope of the future. So shall you do the work that is yours to do,
well and bravely.” Anon.
These short lines offer a sort of healing balm and open up vistas
of far-away dreamy thoughts and hopes. Go up and onward. A go-
getter. Especially to the Soph graduating is this an appropriate re-
minder. Whatever lines your life may run—continue what you have
started—a climb up and onward. Don’t look back too often at your
failures. Learn your lesson and set your thoughts upon the present,
retaining only the glad ones of the past for your memory treasure
chest. Look towards the future and work and play with a happy, will-
ing spirit.
“So shall you do the work that is yours to do, well and bravely.”

Get Busy
“The earth is our workshop, the universe is our exercise ground,
life is our opportunity. Let us get busy.”—B. Calvert.
What does summer mean to you? To some it will mean attending
summer school for six weeks, and then perhaps a vacation; others will
spend it working, so as to finance school for next year; still others will
idle away the entire vacation, neither improving mind nor body.
You, as the “captain of your own ship,” make this world a work-
shop for your activities, not a place for idleness and uncertain, half-
hearted attempts. Get busy — plan your summer — be active — for
“life is our opportunity.” You will never realize this opportunity, and
also never realize full, real life, unless you are active — so “let us
get busy.”

Now is the time that many are
burning midnight oil—well, if
they want to bum the candle at
both ends, that’s one way of mak-
ing both ends meet.
A physician says that success
depends upon the functioning of
the glands. The sweat glands?
Americans have more time-sav-

any people in the world.

What we need at present is a
college course in rest and relaxa-
tion.
Dame Rumor is said to be the
biggest liar in all the world—
then why do so many of us listen
to her?
Wisely said the Son of Sirach:
“Many have fallen by the edge of
the sword, but not so many as
have fallen by the tongue.”

Since the year is about over,
there is nothing to do but hope
that the Fish will be Wiser Fools”

They may feed us Mexican sup-
pers but they can’t make Mexi-

After seeing the agility with
which some of the Sophs handled
their canoes on Soph Day, it
seems that we ought to put in a
course in rowing—in the moon-
light of course.

Just Like a Girl
Maude reached for the phone
and demanded a number.
“Is that you, Edward?” she ask-
ed.
“Speaking,” he replied.
“You remember I told you last
night that under no conditions
would you be permitted to enter
our house again?”
“Shall I ever forget it?” re-
plied Edward.
“Well, we have decided to move,
and I thought you might like to
know our new address.

Felix: Like the river? In what
way?
Dutch: Stay in mv bed, and
yet follow my course!
Flapper: Don’t you speak to
him any more?
Ditto: No! Whenever I pass him
I give him the geological survey.
Flapper: Geological survey?
Ditto: Yes what’s commonly
known as the “once-over.”
“When water becomes ice”, said
Miss Evans, “What is the great-

“The price,” replies Cooky.
“And there, son, you have the

“Yes, Dad, but why did they
need all the other soldiers?” re-

Hilmar Bartling,

at home on the
farm at Maxwell

and answered nega-
tively, when asked
whether he was
married.

STAR LIGHT
RUTH KRAUSHAAR
Ruth speaks for herself. Everyone knows her
qualities. Friendliness and a good nature are two
of the most enviable qualities in a person and
Ruth has both of these. Two years ago she arriv-
ed at TL.C. from some place in the far north. In
a little while, Ruth had won the hearts of her fel-
low students who showed their admiration for
her in that she was chosen to rule as the first
Queen of Home-Coming Day in 1930.
"Fee,” as she is affectionately called by her
friends, has made a name for herself in the var-
ious school activities in which she participated.
She is editor-in-chief of the L.S.L.; last year, she
was associate editor. She has been a member of
the college choir for two years and is now its president. She has
been an active member of the L.G.A.C. in the past two years. In
1930 she lettered in basketball. This year she is a charter member
of the Phi Theta Kappa fraternity.
Her ideal boy is a tall brunette with blue or gray eyes. He must
be an individual with a pleasing personality. He must know the
true values in life—being able both to play and to work. He must
have high morals— but he must also be able to stick to them. This
boy is a good sport with a healthy mind and body—and as “Fee”
puts it, “Must be as much like Daddy as possible.”
Marie Schmidt is an excellent portrayal of her ideal girl. Marie
is one of the outstanding girls on the campus and her admirable
traits need not be enumerated.
Favorite sidelines of this star are: playing the organ and
athletics of all forms, especially swimming, tennis, horse-back-
riding, aesthetic and tap-dancing. She is intensely interested in
dramatics and music.
Ruth likes to travel. She would like to own an aeroplane in
which she would fly over the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. She
hopes someday to travel both in American and Europe. She would
enjoy living in old Italian cities such as Florence, Milan, and Rome.
She wishes that she might have known Goethe when he lived in
such surroudings.
Ruth wants to be acquainted with people such as Hoover, Edi-
son, Lindberg, Mussolini, Helen Wills, Kreisler, Marilyn Miller, Mary
Pickford, Douglas Faribanks, John Tilden, Will Rogers, and a few
others.
Her favorite actor is John Barrymore while Greta Garbo and
Lillian Gish are her favorite actresses. Favorite authors are Kath-
leen Norris, Van Dine, Galsworthy, and Sax Rohmer. Of the more
standard authors she enjoys reading Poe and Hawthorne. Her
favorite poets are John Masefield, Bryan, Shelley, and Carl Sand-
burg. Ruth much prefers reading plays to novels—her favorite
plays are those written by Galsworthy, O’Neil, Barrie, Wilde, and
Pinero.
“A true friend is God’s greatest gift to man,” says Ruth. Her
sincerest hope is that she may have many such friends throughout
her life.
She considers the loyal ex-students of T. L. C.—who once
composed such a student body as the student body of 1931—abound-
ing in loyalty, co-operation, and pep, the outstanding feature of
the college.
