Jeanette Raeber was honoree of
the Pie Club for this week’s meet-
ing, receiving the rose in Student
meeting Wednesday.
Association with the help of the stu-
dents’ association. Two honorees are
selected, one from the student body
and one from the ex-students.

The Spanish Club met Friday last
and Charles Hurley took charge of
the meeting in the absence of Mary
Cone Dees. In view of the fact that
the members insist on being absent
from club meeting, it was decided to
enforce a clause in the constitution
which states that when a member
has failed to attend two meetings in
succession, he is automatically drop-
ped.
A social for the benefit of the
freshmen was considered and will
probably be held at the next meet-
ing or the following meeting. A list
of names of students who will be
eligible to join the Spanish Club was
read. These students will receive in-
vitations to attend the social, and to
join the club.
The club will also consider the
election of a new vice-president to
take the place of Mary Cone Dees,
who was elected into the position
of president.
Director J. E. Nelson will address
the freshman class at its regular
meeting Monday in room 3 at noon.
The sponsor, Miss Lillian Martin, as-
sistant sponsor, Miss Bessie Kilgore,
and the president, Jack Levy, urge
all freshmen to attend the meeting,
promising an interesting time.
Next week’s edition of the Ranger
will be the annual freshman issue,
edited by Catherine Dullnig, who
was elected to the position of fresh-
man editor in the meeting last week.
Volunteers to work on the freshman
staff are welcome, says Miss Dullnig.

BIG GAME OF SEASON DRAWS
CROWDS OF ROOTERS TO FIELD
FOR FIRST INTRAMURAL PLAY
----------- <$> -----------
Mr. Tyre is nominated as the
most ingenious man on the
campus. The physics depart-
ment has completed for him a
combination chicken coop, dog
house, spit-ball guard, and lec-
ture platform. This device, gad-
get or edifice adorns his desk.
It has a number of purposes, as
suggested above. When in class
room use, it can be leaned on
or read from or retired behind.
A few inconspicuous holes bor-
ed in the back would enable Mr.
Tyre to find a place to go into se-
clusion and yet keep a watchful
eye on the antics of the class. A
loose board is handy in the side of
the thing, so that discipline is aid-
ed by this addition to the equip-
ment of the history department.
All sophomores should attend the
sophomore meeting Monday, accord-
ing to the president of the class,
Fred Cimmerman. Whether or not
to have a sophomore picnic and
when will be discussed at this meet-
ing.
Six of the new books ordered for
the library have arrived this week.
They are “Crock of Gold,’’ by James
Stephens, “Les Miserables,” by Vic-
tor Hugo; “Jane Eyre,” by Charlotte
Bronte; “North to the Orient,” by
Anne Morrow Lindbergh; “One
More River,” by John Galsworthy;
and “Tempest Over Mexico’’, by
Stuart Chase.
More are expected in the next few
days.
Note: The purpose of this column
is to introduce to Junior College stu-
dents, the origin, aims and ideals of
the organization known as the Ex-
Students’ Association of the San An-
tonio Junior College. It is the de-
sire of the ex-students to create in-
terest in their plans in such a man-
ner as to stimulate present Junior
College students to become active
members of the Association upon
their completion of work in the San
Antonio institution. Each week, this
column will be devoted to some
phase of the Ex-Students’ Associa-
tion, as set forth in the constitution
of that group. Incidents and happen-
ings which have helped make his-
tory at the college will be related.
And from time to time, the active
work of the former students will be
explained and commented on with
due credit to those Junior College
boosters who are striving to estab-
lish the Ex-Students’ Association on
a firm and lasting foundation.
The Ex-Students’ Association was
organized in the fall of 1931. From
that date, the organization has con-
tinually grown. Today, it has a large
active membership.
A number of social functions are
sponsored throughout the year. The
students of the college are cordially
invited to all these affairs.
The regular monthly luncheon is
held at the Old South Cafe. No pro-
gram is arranged for these meetings,
and the time is spent in reminiscing.
Once a month in the clubroom at
the Woodlawn Lake Gymnasium, an
informal dance is held. All of these
are well attended, with not only ex-
students, but students and faculty
members as well. The date of the
next informal dance will be given
in this column soon. During the holi-
days, the Annual Ex-Student Home-
coming Dance is given. This dance
is sponsored by the Ex-Students’

NELSON TO TALK AT
FRESHMAN MEET
THIS MONDAY
First clash of Cowboys and Sena-
tors on the football field will be wit-
nessed Sunday by all students buying
their tickets to the student associa-
tion picnic. A real game is going to
be played, according to the experts,
one that no one can afford to miss.
The Senators claim to be handicap-
ped because of lack of competition
in practise, but expect no better
competition on the field. Jessie Lee
is the biggest Senate threat, reports
say, and Fred Cimmerman, that Ala-
mo Heights cyclone, will be leading
the Cowboy forces.
Richard King says, “The Cowboys
don’t have the chance of a snowball
in hades”. Fred Cimmerman says,
“The Cowboys will win by at least
two touchdowns.”
Unless a hundred tickets to the
picnic are sold by noon tomorrow,
the picnic will be indefinitely post-
poned. Tickets are twenty cents, and
can be purchased from students on
the campus. The scene will be the
basin in Olmos Park, the time, 2:30
o’clock.
Students are requested to come
without dates.
Members of the picnic committee,
working with vice-president of the
student association Erna Schweppe,
are Lorraine Triesch, Mary Louise
Vordenbaum, Joy Wheat, Elizabeth
Canavan, Bernard Rapaport, Bert
Thompson, Albert Kinder, Charles
Hurley, James McNamara, and Jesse
B. Lee. A meeting of the committee
is called for 12:00 o’clock tomorrow,
in Room 2. If enough tickets have not
been sold at that time, a notice will
be posted on the bulletin boards an-
nouncing the fact that there will be
no picnic.

New members of the student body
learned the Junior College songs in
student association meet Wednesday,
October 30. The program scheduled,
to be presented by the Adda Dabba
Poudas, was postponed until after
six weeks reports are in, so that new
members of the club can assist in the
presentation.
John May and Fred Cimmerman
extolled the comparative merits of
their respective football teams in an
attempt to excite student enthusiasm
in the coming gridiron clash at the
picnic Sunday. President Gerdes
Isenhower urged everyone to come
to the picnic and also to support the
Junior College’s part in the State
Teachers’ Convention while it is
here.
