STUDENT ASSOCIATION
TO DISCUSS MANAGE-
MENT OF PRISM
I'olnt System Adopted by Student
Itody.
The Student Association had a
very important business meeting
Tuesday afternoon. A very good rep-
resentation of the student body was
present perhaps a fourth of the num-
ber. The purpose of the meeting was
to arrange for the management of
our Prism for next year.
Several weeks ago a committee was
appointed by the President of the Stu-
dent Association to investigate the
advisability of turning the manage-
ment of The Prism over to the Stu-
dent Body instead of leaving it to
the Literary Societies as formerly.
Consent to this plan was given by
the four societies after which the
Association voted to assume all re-
sponsibility for the management of
our College paper.
A nominating committee consisting
of one member from each society
was appointed to select candidates for
the olllces of editor-in-chief and bus-
iness manager.
The chair appointed a committee
also to draw up a kind of plan or (
constitution for regulating the var-
ious features of management and
for defining the (nullifications nu du-
ties of editors and reporters.
The point system was brought up
and discussed. Several talks favor-'
able to it were made and then it was
decided to adopt the point system
in our school accoiding to a schedule
arranged by a committee of the stu-
dents. None of the committees has
as yet reported but they are all
working at their respective duties.
If all the plans laid down in that
meeting are carried out next year
our paper will be one of which our
school can justly fool proud.

BASEBALL TOMORROW HOWARD PAYNE
QUEEN ELIZABETH
WROTE SHAKESPEARE
Can You be in Doubt After Heading
This Convincing Evidence.
If you have any worries over who
wrote Shakespeare there are two good
sources of information at hand. One
is a book in the Library called "Bacon
is Shakespeare" and the other is this
issue of The Pi ism. We contend that
Queen Elizabeth wrote Shakespeare.
Only someone who was intimate with
court life could have written of Kings
and Queens and lords and ladies as i
did the author of Shakespeare's Work.
Only a person with a brilliant vo-
cabulary and plenty of self-confidence
and education could have produced j
such literature as is ascribed to
Shakespeare. Elizabeth was educated j
far above her time. She knew .
Fiench German Greek and Latin '
besides English. Shakespeare on tht j
other side was just a smart country
boy. He held a bad record in tin i
juvenile court at Stratford. When he
went to London he was roustabout
at the Globe Theatre. He carried tel-
egraph messages answered the phone
peddled peanuts sold red soda pop
etc. He however rose fiom errand
boy to an important ollice. Shakes-
peare must have helped Elizabeth in
her work while managing his theatre.
She jM.id tb levt w 'in lr
techniiue of the wonderful dramas.
She hud no one like a husband to
worry her nor a mother to guide her
still she had lovers galore and
chances are that she poitrayed them
in her dramas. Characters such as
Rosalind Portia Ophelia Lady Mac-
beth were perhaps her court ladies
depicted in her great literature. Still
there is something besides logic to
show evidence that Elizabeth wrote
Shakespeare. Being a queen she did
not want her name to be associated
with the thcatie (it was then known
as a "vulgar commercial institution.")
She knew that her dramas were above .
par and she wished to be identified
with them. Thus she resorted to a
secret and hidden signature. She
bedded her nunie in the greatest of
her works Hamlet- and in her most
brilliant verse; that of Hamlet's sol-
oliiiuy. The- first woid of the solol-
i(uy begins with a capital T. The
fifth letter of the last word in the
eighth line is u. The last letter in
the sololi(uy is D. And the fourth
line starts with OR. Thus we have
T-U-D-O-R Tudor. Likewise the
heart and center of this sololiipiy the
middle word of the middle line is
love. Kli.uboth was always in love.
Also the second letter in the last
word live lines down is i. Three
lines still lower down there are two
k'sj in the last word of the same line
another i and in the thiid word of the
next to last line there is an e. Now
by combining both words we have
Liz.ie Tudor the name that Elizabeth
went by while a girl. Tudor was
her regular name and Lizzie her
nickname. Who now can doubt the
rightful authorship of those illustrious
works. We are indebted to Stute
EDNA WOODS GIVES
GRADUATING RECITAL
Small Uut Appreciative Audience
Hears Classical Program.
Miss Edna Woods candidate for the
degree of B. Mus. gave her recital in
the chapel last Friday night. On
account of the many tilings doing the
same evening there was but a small
crowd to hear her.
The program was by no means an
easy one technically nor from the
standpoint of interpretation; but Miss
Woods played the entire program
with an appaient ease and fluency
that left no doubt among the listen-
ors as to her qualifications for the
degree she is receiving. The music
department of Howard Payne main-
tains a very high standard and this
standard was not lowered by such
splendid playing.
Following is the program:
Mozart Fantasia in C Minor
Adagio
Allegro
Audantino
Chopin Concerto in F .Minor
Fiist Movement
Orchestral Parts
Played on second Piano by Mr. I.ibke.

tures of moods or scenes peculiar to
negro life in the river bottoms of i
the Southern sections of North Amer- '
icn.

RECITAL TO BE GIVEN
BY VIOLIN DEPART-
NENT TONIGHT
At 8:."0 tonight a recital will be
given by the students of Prof. Kol-
baba in college chapel assisted by
the orchestra. This is the third eve-
ning Prof. Kolbaba m entertained
with his pupils this year and each
time it has been a treat to the stu-
dents and friends of the school. A
large crowd is expected to be present.
Press for most of this information
and wish to say that by compaiisou Prof. Will Payne who was head of
with "Bacon is Shakespeare" we find i the voice department last year is vis-
that the latter is "layed in the shade ' iting in the college today." This year
a mile." What person can not see he is at Simmons College but he re-
that Elizabeth wrote the lofty litera-1 mained in Brownwood long enough to
ture that is often attributed to Bacon make muny friends all of whom will
'""l "'" welcome him back for his brief vis-
Wilbur Duke. it.

PUPILS OF FREDERIC
LIBKE TO GIVE GRAD-
UATING RECITAL
Mary Uaten. to. Receive. B.. Mus.
Degree.
Another pupil of .Mr. Frederic I.ibke
is to give a graduating recital Miss
Mary Baton daughter of Dr. Mitten.
Miss Uaten finished the course last
year giving a recital; but for some
reason she was unable to take her
degree. So this year she givcf a
post-graduate recital at the same
time receiving the degree of B. Mus.
Her program is of the best and her
playing will be a delight to all trim
lovers of music.

tions to have a joint picnic a few
weeks previous to the close of school.
All of them have been a pleasure
and contributed to the interest of the
woik. A committee is now arranging
th details and it is e.pueicd Dial
this year will be the greatest success
of any previous picnic by the organi-
zations. BAPTIST REVIVAL CON-
TINUES WITH UN-
ABATED INTEREST
The revival conducted by Evange-
list Crimm and Cuinhie. at First
Church continues with much interest
and many visible results. At the
lust service one hundred was report-
ed to have been received into the
church for membeiship. At every
service large crowds fill the seating
capacity of the auditorium. Good
singing led by .Mr. Cumbie together
with Mr. Crimm's unusually strong
preaching has held the largest crowd
for the longest period of time that
has ever attended a revival in Bi own-
wood. The meeting will dose Sunday
night.
