COLLEGE ITEMS
Wednesday morning, Septem-
ber 6th., we were all waiting
eagerly for the first college
breakfast of the school year,
1922-23.
After a breakfast, which
seemed quite familiar to some
of us, but which still tasted ex-
tra good, the day's program be-
gan. The opening exercises be-
ing the first on the program
(quite natural) were succeeded
by the matrictulation, or, as it
is more commonly called, regis-
tration part. But all are over
the first day, and most of them
over their homesickness, and
have successfully spent almost
a month at college.
The two societies, "the Eng-
lish Literary Society," and the
German "Germania Verein"
have organized and made a nice
start towards their year's work.
The first program of each socie-
ty was made up of voluntary
work which was all very enter-
taining. (In a preliminary
meeting for the purpose of or-
ganizing, the following officers
were elected: For English So-
ciety, E. Umlang, president;
Hugo Weeber, vice president ;
Miss Stork, secretary. The of-
ficers of the German Society el-
ected at the same meeting are:
Otto ePters, president; E. Her-
ber, vice president; Miss Goer-
ner, secretary.
In the first regular meeting
of each society, Miss Riedel for
the English and Miss Peter for
the German society, were elected
as assistant secretaries.
Prof. Braun has organized his
choir and orchestra and the
prospects for this part of col-
lege work are very promising.
In the choir are a few of the
students who were leading sing-
ers last year and these have
been reinforced by quite a num-
ber of new students. The or-
chestra also has retained sever-
al of its last year's members
and is progressing nicely with
its work.
There were quite a number of
visitors with us the first weekor two, most of them bringing
more students to join this hap-
py band of college folks. Let
us hope there will be more of
these visitors. E. U.
Wednesday morning, on Sep-
tember 6, after the chapel exer-
cises were over, we girls were
patient by waiting to be called
to face the faculty for registra-
tion. Since most of us were
"freshies," and didn't know what
to expect, we had a queer and
weak feeling about our hearts.
But, after all, appearing before
the faculty wasn't such a bad
ordeal. It could have been
worse!
The first few days extra good
meals were served by the mem-
bers of the faculty, for with
Miss Sprain as "chief cook" and
Miss Scholz, as "bottle washer"
-who could beat them? It is
rumored that Miss Sprain and
Miss Scholz have applied for the
positions of cooks, but it's doubt-
ful if their desires will be ful-
filled, since objections are being
raised by students who sampled
their meals.
All went well, until the first
Sunday came, and then even the
clouds sympathized with the
homesick people in the left wing
of the college. Inside were
showers of tears; whereas, out-
side were showers of rain.
Now, we are glad to say, we
have organized our basket ball
team, and with Elda Stork as
captain, we are bound to "make
good."
The first few days everything
was rather quiet here in the
dormitory ; however, soon melo-
dious sounds floated from the
various corners of the building.
Prof. Brown was starting of his
musicians, and as time came on
music increased still more when
liss Harms appeared.
Excitement reigned this week
when a shrill whistle announced
a fire drill. It was especially
exciting for us new girls to get
to our assigned positions.
We are sorry to report that
Miss Menke, on account of poor
health, has left for home. How-
ever, we are expecting to see herSeguin, Teas.
back in our midst by Christmas.
Miss M. Sprain, our matron,
and Miss Scholz, our English
teacher, are getting along nicely
with their work. We hope they
will have lots of pleasure and
success during this year.
Yesterday, another girl, Cath-
erine Horridge, of Galveston,
joined our "bunch." We hope
that she, too, will like college
life as well as we do.
F. A.B.
Somebody surmised to be over
in England or at least down in
South America-globe-trotting
is part of his profession-walk-
ed into our premises the other
day without any advance notice
or any ado. It was our former
fellow teacher, Kurt Heinrich,
or as his modernized label reads
now, Mr. Martin Henry. Time
had no ravages on his appear-
ance nor any ellongating affini-
ties for his size. Nimble and of
elastic versatility as of old. He
is tutoring in French at the U.
of Texas at present. We are glad
to see him.
Two of our former students
who have completed their theol-
ogical studies have been assign-
ed to various Texas parishes.
They were "gone, but not for-
gotten" and we are glad to have
them back again in our midst.
It will look like home country
to them. You will remember
their names. The Reverends A.
Muehibrad and Heinz Ziehe.
The third member of that trio
of 1919, Mr. H. Gold, has given
his preference to Kansas for
mysterious reasons. Another
"ex" who lasted but a short
while on our Seguin stratum,
Rev. G. Weber, also has found
home again and will stake his
tents in the Lone Star.
Mr. Eugene Althaus, one of
our real old-timers, made his
appearance on our campus some
time ago. He is selling tomb-
stones. It's a gloomy job-but
he did not look it.
