teresting and .well worked out' program

W. C. A. vesper service Sunday even-
ing. Prances Thomson made a very
iorceful talk on "the influence of your
lives on others." She gave as an exam-
ple of good influence one's mother; of
how a child, though perhaps not con-
scious of it, is influenced by his or her
mother. Everyone has influence—it is
always present. "No matter how much
or how little you say, dr what you do, it
weight." She said that each day
id each hour that one lives, she is
or scattering influence. "You
either helping or hindering." An
poem by Mary Ann Cross

Hamner rendered a vocal solo,
"Abide With Me," in a sweet and im-
2eta Tan Alpha's annual banquet wu

Hotel. The guests assembled at six-
thirty in the hotel parlors.
With the aid of little red and white

the table; and little red baskets filled
with salted almonds and white hand-

FORE 8. U. AUDIENCE IN
SONG RECITAL
Miss Mary Elizabeth Howard-delight-
ed a large and enthusiastic audience on
Thursday evening, April 14th, in her
song recital given in the University
auditorium. The charming personality
and poise of the young singer at once
won the hearts of her hearers. Her first
number, Porgi, Amor, by Mozart, was
most difficult. Miss Howard sang it
with accurate intonation and real charm.
This was only the beginning of an even-
ing of genuine treats. She rendered the
following program:
i /
Porgi,Amor (Le Nozze di Figaro) Mozart

Happiness Hagerman
Miss Howard's interpretation of the
fourth group showed real dramatic pow-
er. This was shown especially in "Oh,
Si Les Fleurs."
The audience was unusually large and
enthusiastic, and Miss Howard was
obliged to give several encores at the
close of* her program. These she gave
most graciously. The first was the old
Scotch melody, dear to everyone's heart,
"Annie Laurie," which she interpreted
most beautifully.
Though just starting in her career,
Miss Howard a.ready has- a well devel-
oped technique and her interpretations
are good. She is a young artist who has
a brilliant future before her, Miss
Howard is planning to continue her
study in America during the summer,
and later expects to study abroad.

After a week and a half of rest, brok-
en into only by a few rehearsals, the
Glee Club will be in fine condition for
its home entertainment which will be
given at 8 o'clock next Monday night,
April 25, in the University auditorium.
The program whicji provoked such
consistent applause on the road trip
will be given. The Club will sing "The
Soldiers' Chorus" from Faust, a very
beautiful arrangement of "Old Ken-
tucky Home," "The Hunting Song" from
Robin Hood, "Southwestern" and "The
Gypsy Trail." Miss Payne will sing
two groups of songs, one a group of In-
dian love tales. Lester Luechauer, whp
met With unbroken suceess on the trip,
will also sing a group; and Emmett
Manning will give a group of very ten-
der sentimental songs to which his rich
tenor voice is well adapted.
After the concert here, two week-end
trips are planned, one to Taylor and the
other to Temple and Belton.

C. D. Campbell of Nixon and Miss
Thelma Littlefield of Leesville were
married. at the Methodist church in
Leeeville Monday, April 4th.' They
spent their honeymoon in San Antonio
and Galveston.
Miss Littlefield was a student at
Southwestern last year and has many j
friends here who extend to her heartiest
Southwestern's fast, nine is rapidly
rounding into shape for the tussle with
the Longhorns Wednesday and Thurs-
day. Under the expert coaching of
Mike Flanagan a fast team has been
built up and two close contests with
Texas are expected. Every team that
has faced the Pirate nine thus far has
felt the sting of defeat. The last to
fall were Daniel Baker Monday 30 to 0,
and Hutto-Liberty Hill Independents in
a 4 to 0 practice game.
SOUTHWESTERN 30; DANIEL
BAKER 0 *
Southwestern won a track meet on
Snyder Field Monday. Unlike most
track meets, this was played on a base-
ball diamond. Southwestern's mighty
sluggers and Daniel Baker's wonderful
fielding ability (?) turned what should
have been a baseball game into a 30 to 0
track meet.
Southwestern started the fireworks in
the first inning when three walks, an
error, a double and three-bagger netted
six tallies.
Again in the second, two errors, two
walks, two singles and a home run tab-
ulated six more S. U. beauties.
Southwestern annexed four runs in
the third, two in the sixth and two ia
the seventh, while goose-eggs went up
regularly for Daniel Baker..
Daniel Baker's only chance to score
came in the seventh. Bates was repos-
ing on the keystone Back and with two
out Vernon hit a red-hot liner down the
first base line that looked like a sure
score. But Bates, in his hurry to con-
nect with the home slab, forgot and
tried to take a short cut with the re-
sult that he was out for cutting third.
But the real batting practice came in
the eighth inning. After two S. U. men
Were out and it appeared that South-
western had completed her scoring, Dan-
iel Baker went on the rocks before a
Pirate batting practice and the scorer
counted ten runs before the visitors
managed to connect with the third out.

Sl U. REPRESENTED AT
STATE ORATORICAL MEET
GIBBS AND DURBENRERGER AT-
TEND MEET AT BAYLOR AS
S. U. REPRESENTATIVES
Southwestern again has full standing
in the State Oratorical Association, as
she was re-instated at the State conven-
tion held at Baylor University April 15.
During the war Southwestern dropped
many of her inter-collegiate activities,
and was delayed for some time in get-
ting the oratorical part worked up, but
through the untiring efforts of the local
Oratorical Association and the co-oper-
ation of the literary societies, she again
has full standing in all of her former
oratorical activities. , _ j*
The State Oratorical Association con-
vention met this year with Baylor Uni-
versity on April 15th, with nine univer-
sities and colleges represented.
The business session of the conven-
tion was held during the morning, and
after Southwestern was admitted, Dur-
renberger took an active part in the
convention.
The contest was held in Carroll Chap-
el at 8 o'clock that eveaing with a very
good crowd out. The contest was hard-
fought, as each man was Striving to do
justice to himself and his school. The
first place and a $50 cash prize was
woa by Speers of Austin College; the
second place and'a $20 cash prim by
Judson Francis of State University, and
the third place and a $10 cash prise by
Garrett of Simmons College.
Although Southwestern did not win
one of the ranking places, she was ably
represeated by Mr. Gibbs, who did hsa-
