Of the three Rhodes scholars from
S. U. all were San Jacs.
If this is&ue of our college paper
falls into the hands of any of the
many honored ex-members of either
the San Jacinto or Alethean Society
we are confident they will read it,
as a message from the organization
which has had so large a pari in
forming their lives, if not for its
own merit. It is our desire
through this medium, to keep in
touch with as many as possible of
our former members from year to
year. For nearly forty years our
societies have been training men
and women for life, and we ven-
ture the assertion that no two liter-
ary societies in the' South have
been more pre-e.i inenty successful.
As will be seen from another arti-
cle in this issue, many of those
who mingled in our halls in the
days gone by have now attained
considerable prominence in their
several avocations
We also desire to use this a^s a
means of encouragement to thos;
who are si ill laboring from week to
week in faithful discharge of their
duties as members of our two so-
cieties. We hope by giving you
some of our glorious past that you
will be inspired to make the future
even mar glorious. We are proud
of our history, let us be worthy of
it. We justly take pride in our
many victories; but it is our place
to see that this generation of society
members does not flinch not falter,
but hits the line hard.
We wish to thank the staff and
any others who have contributed to
the success of (?) of this paper.
U. BASKETBALL TEAM TAKES
TRIP TO SAN ANTONIO
All the professors in our faculty
who were S.U. students were also
membres of San Jacinto.
Of the thirty-six Inter-Society
Debates San Jacinto has won
twenty-two. Cf?*!*
We are going to defeat Baylor
on the sixth of May with our two
San Jacinto Debaters. Why not
send a car load of "rooters" to
help do it?
Speaking of "thoughtlessness,"
some people can stand in front of
the bleachers at> bill game and
never think that they are obstruct-
ing the view of the game for a
large number of people.
Southwestern is still ahead in
the exciting race for the baseball
championship. Texas has lost three
games and Baylor four, while S.
U has only lost two. Watch our
boys go!
At its last meeting the Faculty
appointed a committee to devise
some means of increasing the in-
terest in literary society work.
We hope they will also succeed in
interesting the faculty itself as
well as the students. At an annual
Intermediate Debate held recently
only one professor was present, and
the Professor of Oratory. At the
banquet of the State Oratorical
Association only two professors
were present. At the State Ora-
torical Contest only four or five
were present and at our Intercol-
legiate Debate only about the same
number. We don't relish being
called a "knocker," but we do sin-
cerely believe that a more direct
manifestation of interest on the
part of the faculty members would
stimulate a genuine interest in the
students for such work.

SENIOR RECITAL
Misses Mary Treat and Beulah
Thompson gave their Senior Recital
in piano in the University Audi-
torium Thursday evening, April
24th, assisted by Miss Tabby Smith.
Both of these young ladies have ap-
peared before us at different times
and an unusually large audience
assembled to hear the musical treat
which they knew was in store for
them. Nor were they disappoint-
ed—the musical numbers were
varied, showing well the technique
and abiity of the young ladies.
Careful study of the selections
were seen and a comprehension of
the composers' thoughts was felt
by the audience.
The numbers given by Miss
Smith were \ety^ entertaining and
the selection "The Day of Precious
Penalties" showed rare ability as
an impersonator. "The Ninety
and Nine," a story of the Prodigal
Son, was excellently rendered.
It was regretted that this enter
tainment and the service of the
Missionary Conference conflicted
and that many of us did not get to
hear Miss Daris, whom we know to
be a great speaker. The program
was, viz.:
Sonata Op. 7
Allegro . .Grieg
Minuet
Miss Beulah Thompson
Polonaise C minor Chopin

The Basketball Team of S. U.
girls reurned Thursday morning
from San Antonio where they played
two games of ball. The first was
played Tuesday night against the
Thomas School on the basketball
%
court at the Y. M. C. A. building.
The court was very small and
rough, and to this more than any-
thing else is attributed the out-
come of the same. The girls put a
strong fight b t were defeated by
a score of 17 to 9. The main fea-
ture of the game was the excellent
playing of Misses Walker and Man-
gum, who played all over thj court.
The second game was with the
San Antonio High School Wednes-
day afternoon at St. Marks gym-
nasium. This was a snappy game
from the very beginning. The
| work of Misses Onderdonk and
i Stanford deserves special mention.
[Although the San Antonio ^irls
I played good ball, they were out-
! classed, and the score stood 17 to
I
10 when time was called.*
Our girls play good ball and
should be given the proper sup-
port. The game with Thomas is
the only game they have lost this
year.
MISS PEARL WALLACE READS
"SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS"
The students of Southwestern
were delightfully entertained last
Saturday evening with a reading
"Shepherd of The Hills" given by
Miss Pearl Wallace. After prayer
by Mr. L. L. Evans, the stringed
quartet rendered a beautiful num-
ber which was highly appreciated
by every one present. Miss Wal-
lace was so full of her message—
the message given to us by Harold
Belle Wright in his "Shepherd of
the Hills"—that she gained a ready
response from the audience, which
entered into the spirit of the crowd
so completely that for two hours
there was an unbroken attention.
Miss Wallace's character work
was excellent, her voice work good
but her spiritual power was most
impressive.
To all the old girls Miss Wallace
was not "miss," but singularly
Pearl Wallace—and in fact to the
new students she soon became
known as "Pearl—one of our old
girls." Having been a student in
Southwestern two years ago she is
known and loved by a large number
of the student body who gave her a
hearty welcome.
