FUTURE SUL ROSS THEME
AT STUDENT CAUCUS
The future policy of the Teacher-
training intitution regarding the es-
tablishment of closer communication
and better contact with its ex-stu-
dents and Alumni, was the subject
of a discussion participate in by the
President of the College, H. W. More-
lock, and the Director of Athletics,
B. C. Graves, at a meeting of more
than 130 Sul Ross students and fac-
ulty members at the college Friday
night.
Addressing the group of certifi-
cate holders who are to leave this
institution to teach in various parts
of the state during the next school
year, President Morelock said:
“You are the future of Sul Ross—
a part of the family of 1,000 men
“and women that this institution has
sent over Texas, to cope with the dif-
ficult problems encountered in the
teaching profession—and the posi-
tion your Alma Mater is destined to
occupy among the schools of its kind
in the State, will be largely deter-
mined by you.
“Our policy of keeping up with
the activities of our ex-students, and
extending our aid to their present
difficulties, will be continued, and
can best be served by the hearty co-
operation of every “Ex” in keeping
up with our progress and in keeping
us informed about himself.” His con-
cluding remarks were of the program ;
of growth outlined and now under:
execution for the future of the col-
lege, and a word of appreciation for
the present student body.
Mr. Morelock was followed by
Coach B. C. Graves, who spoke brief-
ly of football prospects for the sea-
son, and characterized the schedule
of the approaching season as the
most difficult ever attempted here.
“An unbeatable school spirit—the
never-say-die-spirit—is one of three
absolute requisites for a successful,
fighting team in any kind of athlet-
ics.” Approximately one-half of the
scheduled games are to be played
in Alpine.
Other college organizations were
likewise represented on this occa-
sion. The orchestra and glee club
under the direction of Miss Irma Lee
Batey, head of the Music Depart-
ment, rendered four numbers.
A miscellaneous arrangement of
songs and yells, led by Miss Bennie
Marr; Musical numbers by Inman
The unusually successful 1925 ses-
sion of the Sul Ross Summer Normal
is over. August 3 was the last
school day, and examinations cov-
ered the ensuing four days. By now,
the normal students are scattered
all over the State, having returned
to their respective homes.
Superintendent Page, an instructor
in that department, returned to his
home in Brownwood, Saturday.
Superintendent Melton of Alpine
schools, and Mrs. Melton, are on a
two week’s tour of East and Central
Texas by car, and will visit Dallas,
Waco and other points.
Miss Mamie Aynesworth, who has
been visiting her sister, Miss Anne
Aynesworth of the college English
Department, returned Wednesday to
her home in Lampasas, Texas.
Miss Lois Pilgreen, sister of Jes-
sie Pilgreen, a Sul Ross student of
last year, is visiting a number of
her friends at the Pruitt House.
Miss Mary Carlysle returned last
Wednesday to her home in McKin-
ney, Texas.
Miss Letitia Rixon, for some years
a student in the local Teachers Col-
lege, has enrolled in the University
of California in Berkeley, where she
will receive her degree.
At the usual hour there will be
Sunday School, followed by preach-
ing and a Baptismal service. B. Y.
P. U. will also be at the accustomed
time. Then at the evening service,
Brother Eugene Sallee and wife, who
have spent many years in China as
missionaries, will be in charge of the
evening hour. This is a rare treat
and should be indulged in by all who
can possibly come. Do not fail to
hear them.
Now that the Encampment is over
and we are back in town again let
us not allow the work of the church
to lag, but may we go on doing our
best. There is no reason why instead
of lagging, the work should be in
better condition and all of us heart-
ened after hearing the wonderful
messages that were delived at Pai-
sano. Yours for a better church.

Hi
annum
It is with a sense of gratitude that
can not adequately be expressed in
words or writing that we wish here-
by to extend our sincere thanks to
all those who so considerately and
graciously ministered to us in so
discriminating and kindly a manner
during our recent bereavement
through the sudden death of our hus-
band and father.
Especially do we thank the mem-
bers of the Masonic bodies, the East-
ern Star, the Presbyterian church
and Sunday school, and all those who
contributed to the beautiful and
elaborate floral offerings, for their
consideration. It has been said: “A
friend in need is a friend indeed.”
We have been given to understand
the unique truth of that proverb in
our hour of trial and sorrow, the
burden of which has been greatly
mitigated by the gracious kindness
of our friends.
May the Giver of the life abundant
bear record to your helpfulness and
reward you therefor.

THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
The pastor, for reasons that need
not be here stated, urges as full an
attendance at next Sunday’s services
as possible. The presence of all mem-
bers and adherents of the church
would be most helpful at this time.
The morning sermon will be on the
topic, “God’s Spokesman.” Hear this
sermon at 11 a. m.
At 8.30 p. m. the subject will be,
“The Best Gifts.” There is sure to be
a difference of opinion as to what the
best gifts of life are. Make your list
of such, and then hear what a
preacher thinks about it. We may
not agree, but it will help us to think
the matter over nevertheless.
Meet me at Sunday school next
Sunday, 10 o’clock.
J. A. MCMILLAN, Minister.

If they love cake and

Surprise them! Give them
muffins, or biscuits, or pastry
that will seem to melt in their
mouths before they can get a
real bite. You can! All you
have to do is to use Mrs.
Tucker’s Shortening in pre-
paring them.
Mrs. Tucker’s Shortening
is a pure, wholesome, vege-
table shortening. It is made
exclusively of choice cotton-
seed-oil. When you use it,
whether in making cakes or
in frying foods, it imparts a
wonderful richness like that
of butter. But it, is never
heavy or greasy. And it goes
much further than ordinary
shortenings.
Mrs. Tucker’s comes to you
in an air-tight container that
assures you absolutely pure
and fresh shortening. It is
easy to open, and convenient
while you are using it. Once
empty, it is useful in the
house as a bucket or dinner
