JUNIOR COLLEGE
NOTES
Mother
Have you seen her, have you missed
her ? j
Oh, do not say that you have missed
her;
For she’s fair.
Would you know her if you saw her?
In your dreams you must have kissed
her;
For she’s there.
Would you leave her, dare deceive
her?
Would your manly heart bereave her?
Do not dare.
Yours, forever ne’er to sever,
E’en though through your life you
miss her;
Everywhere.
A Letter
Dear Mother :
Do you remember when I clung to
your skirts while you cooked those
“fluffy biscuits” or baked those “rais-
in cookies” .... and how I toddled
about always “in the way,” or tried
my best to eat the “soap,” the “match-
es” and the “nails.”
How many times a day you spank-
ed me for doing wrong and then cod-
dled me up close and kissed my tears
away? And Gee! that first fist fight.
Can I ever forget that you were the
one who understood. I wish you were
here now right across the table from
me so I could tell you how much I
love you and how I wish I could be
your “boy” again. I know now how
patient you were. How full of long
suffering and kindness! I know now
—after the “tragedy of years”—that
the richest and most priceless thing
on earth is that mighty love and ten-
derness, and craving to help that a
mother feels toward her boy." I un-
derstand now the myriads of sacrifices
that you made and I know at last how
to make you happy.
“Mother o’ Mine,” may I always feel
your presence and hear your gentle
voice and ... as I travel the “wind-
ing trail” that leads across the border
hills of the “Golden West” as in days
of yore may you take me by the hand
and help me further up the slope;
—A DEVOTED SON.
University Club
The University Club was well rep-
resented in the lovely home of Mr. and
Mrs. J. T. Ewing, 3243 East Alabama.
Of course there was a profusion of
spring flowers cut from the famous
“Ewing gardens” . . . then there was
whist. Really it would have made the
heart of Mr. Hoyle glad to have been
present and to have seen the “experts
in action.” Mrs. Ewing, as she al-
ways does, served the “jolly gang” a
most delectable luncheon consisting of
friend spring chicken carring with it
all the accessories % . . Yum! yum!
yum! “Some” sang—“We Wont Go
Home ’Til Morning” . . Others “When
Will We Three Meet Again?”

Cinderella Club
Shop With Betty Jo
Oh Girls . . . Have you seen those
spiffy ‘undies” at Anne’s Hat Shoppe
—such delicious color—in summer
green, deft blue, rose, white orchid
and two tone effects they come. Take
a suggestion—Mother still likes to
“doll up”—send her a box on Mothers’
Day . i . and those romantic little
devils—pajamas—see them at Anne’s
Hat Shoppe, Odd Fellows’ Temple.
Oh, Marie:
Do you want something different ?
Go to the Baul Beauty Shoppe. Mrs.
E. C. Baul specializes in individual
and distinctive modes of hair cutting
and she marcels exquisitely—Give her
a visit—Baul Beauty Shoppe, 2309

Don’t forget The Informer’s adver-
tisers—“Trade with them.”
So long—

erend proved himself an evangelist of
merit. Each night the church was
crowded to hear this gospel minister
preach out of his soul. The meeting
was both a financial and spiritual
success. One hundred sixty-six per-
sons were saved from sin; sixty-two
of whom were converts, 104 reclaim-
ed and $$466.70 raised. Sunday serv-
ices were good all day. The Sunday
School under the leadership of Mrs.
Collins was excellent. At 11 o’clock,
the pastor preached a noble sermon on
“Faith.” At 8 p. m., the baptizing
took place and was witnessed by hun-
dreds. At night the pastor used the
hour to explain the church covenant,
after which the candidates were fel-
lowshipped and the Lord’s Supper
served.

of $100. The second prize bonus of
$75 was won by the team led by Mrs.
A. E. Jones, while the third prize bon-
us of $25 went to the team headed by

dedicated themselves to the same kind
of pledge.
Chairman Rice announces that,
while it is his plan to be able to close
the drive out next Tuesday night, yet
the steering committee has decided to
see the thing through and not to give
up or close down until the full drive
limit of $5,000 has been reached.
By E. E. CLARKE
Students of home economics, 233,
under the supervision of Mrs. W. L. D.
Johnson, Jr., have made several very
interesting excursions to Houston’s
manufactories—the results of which
will be used in completing survey ma-
terial. The sophomore class consists
of 20 energetic young ladies. They
are busy preparing for graduation.
Some topics for these are: “Evolution
of Style," “History of Bread," and
“The Correct Teaching of Home Ec-
onomics.” This research material will
be compiled and left in the library for
future reference work in this depart-
ment.
The freshman class has completed
in the past four weeks a unit in home
furnishings embodying all materials
created by hand. They are now mak-
ing a complete baby’s layette. Their
final problem will be an afternoon
dress of organdie, net or poinde spre.
Styles of the predominating modes are
being selected by the wearers.
In foods 133 and 283 both classes
have been serving complete luncheons.
The freshmen have had a contest in
cake making in which the importance
of fine textures was emphasized. The
majority of the students have made
enviable cake making progress and
the directress invites wholesome com-
petition from any home economics di-
vision. The department purports not
only to efficiently train students in
the culinary art, but on the other
hand, desires to be a civic asset by
rendering information and ideal home
economic service.
Prof. J. C. Harmon, the Columbia
University economist, delivered a very
practical and inspiring address in the
chapel on the “Evolutionary Tenden-
cies of Economics.” The illustrious
speaker emphasized the role of eco-
nomics in solving life’s problems as
well as the science of making a living.
Prof. Harmon was introduced by Prof.
T. H. Henderson, instructor of eco-
nomics in the Junior College.
Dean J. T. Fox had a birthday,
chronologically; but educationally he
failed to observe the epoch in as much
as he has been very busy and so zeal-
ous in perfecting a nationally recog-
nized junior college.
•The home economics department in-
vites the public to its annual style
show to be given Wednesday, May 13,
at 6:40 o’clock in the Yates gym.
