Thanks to Bear—For the first
time in many years interclass con-
tests are being held. Although we
had no such football and basket ball
games, here’s hoping we have in-
ter class baseball games and that
these contests reign many more
year,-.
To show what consistent practi-
cal practice can do we find that
the other week Cisco beat Mineral
Wells 18-4 in a regular inning
game and Friday they won only by
a small margin of 4-3 and in ten
innings, too.

STUDENT REPRESENTS
BAYLOR U. IN DEBATE
Homer Bouldin, a former Min-
eral Wells High School student,
represented Baylor University an-
other time when he debated against
Texas Christian University Tues-
day night, April 22.
Out of the ten debates he has
entered this year he has won six,
lost two, tied in one, and no de-
cision was made in the other.
This makes the twenty-seventh
debate that he has entered for
Baylor University since he has
been attending there.
On the way to Cisco some body-
told us that Cisco had about as
big a crowd out to baseball as they
do for any other sport. It did n< t
lack much being true. What would
happen if students and townspeo-
ple in Mineral Wells showed as
mucn interest?
This week end Graham comes
here for a two game series. They
play Friday and Saturday on Me-
morial Field diamond.
The Mountaineers would like to
make a good showing by having a
large attendance. The admission
will be twenty-five cents to each.
Don’t bother about having the ex-
act change. Let the gatekeeper do
that. Those keen-eyed, fleet footed
and fortunate ones who recover
foul balls will be admitted without
charge.
On Friday and Saturday, May 5
and 6 Mineral Wells goes to Gra-
ham for a second two game series.

Members of the Tattler staff
and newswriting class gave a pic-
nic on Tuesday, April 26 to the
Index force. The picnic was held
at Inspiration Point, nine miles
South of the city.
“The Index and Tattler staffs
enjoyed the Index office on April
19 so much that a picnic was plan-
ned for the Index staff before the
evening was over,” said Miss
Hicks.
After the lunch was served a
number of games were played.
The picnic was unavoidably post-
poned from Thursday, April 21 on
account of bad weather.
Boys are out working hard at the
park, classes are rustling for Char-
lie Paddocks. A little rivalry is be-
ing shown and it does look as if
something is going to happen. If
this keeps up, we ought to find ma-
terial for a good track team next
year.
Trinity University has set aside
San Jacinto Day as Trinty Day and
each year the Trinity ex-students
in each town all over Texas as-
semble.
On Thursday night, April 21 the
Trinity Exes of Mineral Wells had
a banquet at the Crazy Hotel.
Trinity exes present for this oc-
casion were: Miss Tippon English,
Mrs. W. J. Miles, Mrs. Alma Shel-
ton, Miss Elsie Cavitt, Miss Ester
Cavitt, Mr. S. J. Smith, and Mr.
Cecil Manning. The guests were:
Mrs. S. J. Smith, Mr. W. J. Miles,
Mr. Ernest Clark, Mr. John N.
Watson, and Mr. Bryant O. Baker.
