Frank Williams and Berry Eng-
lish were re-elfected to their posts
as president and vice president,
respectively, of the Senate Club at
a meeting last week.
Melvin Fuquay was chosen secre-
tary-treasurer, succeeding David
Scheffel, who left school.
Hardin-Simmons University has
just established its own radio sta-
“Making the most of your study tion. A mystery voice contest
life.” Bennye Edgeworth spoke on
the need of a well rounded social
life for students. Homer Escamilla
spoke on living life at one’s best,
and Byrl Taylor spoke on the need
of a study pattern for successful
learning.
In an impressive candleight cere-
mony 14 new members were ini-
tiated into Phi Theta Kappa, na-

The annual Valentine party of
the Cheshyre Cheese Club was held
on February 14 at the home of
Norma Ann Dullnig. Most of the
valentines, composed by the mem-
bers, were unsigned, and several
of the members are still wonder-
ing and guessing who sent them
their heart-bedecked messages.
Quite a variety of valentines were
exchanged, ranging from senti-
mental verses to blunt messages of
greeting.
A delicious Mexican supper was
served and enjoyed while the mem-
bers engaged in bantering gossip
about each other and reminisced
about past Valentine Days. The
next meeting is to be held at Miss
Mary McGil’s home at 1614 Ken-
tucky Avenue, on March 14. The
members are to compose limericks
and draw some sort of a picture
since the original Cheese Club had
an artist as a member and since
the other members! were all very
interested in art as well as in the
various types of literature.

To Honest George
“The Father Of Our Country,”
born on February 22, 1732, to
most of us means that on his
birthday we get a holiday, or that
he cut down a cherry tree as a boy
with an axe, and that he was the
first president of the United States.
However, according to a famous
journalist, there is a new debt we
owe to him. Pies up to the time
of the revolution were basically
made of beefsteaks and kidneys.
But fruit pies came into existance,
then, through sheer necessity due
to the shortage of meat for the
pies.
He wrote a friend about a dinner
at which he planned to entertain
two ladies. The meal was to con-
sist of two beefsteak pies for the
main course and of late, he said,
that he was surprised to learn
that apples make pies. This is the
first record of the apple pie.
To the fame of Washington is
added the debts of all apple pie
lovers and other fruit pie lovers
throughout the land.
Washington may have refused
a second term to the presidency,
but we have reasons to think that
he always did justice to that second
piece of pie.
