Young lady (reading aloud Mr.
Brown’s announcement on the bulletin
board): “Those who wish to take a
beginning course in Analytics please
see Mr. Brown within the next few
days.” Reflecting a moment: “What
is Analytics? That must be some
course in P. E.”
Pochman (standing nearby) : “Yes, a
beginner’s course in aethetic dancing.”
(Poor Pochman knows. He’s suffering
from an acute case in Analytics under
Mr. Brown now.)

Y. W. C. A. NOTES
The joint Vespers held by the Y.W
and Y. M. C. A. from seven to eight
every Thursday evening at the Normal
were well attended at the last meeting.
After the devotional period was con-
cluded, a unique play was introduced
by Miss Hearne. This game was in
imitation of an automobile ride, and
all of the details of the ride were con-
sidered, from getting the gas to asking
the chaperon. Each week some new
feature is introduced during the so-
cial hour, and the meetings are al-
ways enjoyed.
The next meeting will be held
Thursday, July 13th at the south en
trance of the Normal. At this meet
ing Miss Gface Cavness and Mr. Dan
Smith will give reports on their res-
pective trips to the Y. W. and Y. M.
Conferences. This promises to be an
interesting meeting. If you do not
want to enjoy yourself ,do not come.

The Y. W. has discontinued their
work at the Mexican school on ac-
count of the summer weather. This
work was especially good during the
past fall and winter and spring terms
of the school, and will be continued
in the next year.

The Y. W. has taken up recreational
work at Kyle for the summer term.
The work is carried on by nine of the
Y. W. girls, every two weeks, in co-
operation with Miss Bush, the county
health nurse of Hays county. The child-
ren of Kyle enjoy the recreation hour
and will receive a benefit from it
without a doubt.
Round One.
Blink: “I’m sorry, old man, that I
accused you of stealing.”

mistake. You took me for a thief, and
I took you for a gentleman.”—Ex.

Cafeteria Chats.
Every morning at seven the lovely
girl entered the cafeteria, secured her
toast and coffee, and drifted over to
a vacant table. There she demurely
nibbled at her slender fare, finished by
caressing her tiny lips with her napkin,
paid her small check, and departed ex-
actly fifteen minutes later.
For ten weeks she did this.
“Howdelightful are these naive fresh-
men girls,” I used to remark to my
room-mate, as I watched her leave.
“So unassuming, so delicate in their
appetites, so unlike the customary col-
lege creature.”
One morning, to my surprise, she
entered the cafeteria accompanied by a
young man, obviously a recent acquisi-
tion, and obviously suddenly devoted
to her. Thinking of her delicate ap-
petite, I could not but congratulate the
young man in his choice.
As she passed me on her way to her
table, I noticed that she 'carried a tray
laden with grape-fruit, ham and eggs,
toast, coffee and apple sauce.
So quickly do these Freshmen girls
learn.
Kallina, probably the best known
amateur pitcher in South Texas base-
ball, got his start with the Bobcats
and Coach Sheffield this past Spring.
He is now playing with the Nixon
team and so far has not met defeat
with that club. July the fourth _ he
pitched for the Kenedy team against
the Alamo-Peck team of San Antonio
and annexed a triple, a double and a
single in four trips to the plate. He
will be back next year.

Danforth, the aquatic star of the
Normal, grew up with the fish of the
Blanco river. He turns flips, cork-
screws, and Immelman turns for pas-
time. If swimming was as popular a
sport in the South as it is in the North,
we feel sure he would be a winner, in
any company.
Could Be Taken Both Ways.
“Why did he soak you?”_
“I said his brother loked like a sap.”
“That ain’t no reason.’
“No, but they are twin brothers.”
“It tells here of the death of my
friend Dart Yaleson . . . peace to his
ashes.”
“Oh, is that where he went?”

San Marcos took the Dundee Woolen
Mills into camp very handily Monday,
defeating them 7 to 6. Tate pulled the
game from the fire with his masterful
box-work. Tuesday, the fourth, big
Hennig won 2 to 1 in one of the best
games seen on the local diamond
this season.
Doubtful Testimony.
“I don’t know whether to accept this
testimonial or not,” mused the hair-
restorer man.
“What’s the matter with it,” de-
manded the advertising manager.
“Well,” explained the boss, “the man
writes, T used to have three bald
spots on the top of my head, but since
using one bottle of your hair restorer
I have only one’.”—Exchange.

ORGANIZATION AND PREPARA-
TION FOR COUNTY TRACK MEET
Hennig, present mound star of the
San Marcos team has pitched 14 games
this season without a defeat. In the
4th of July game he allowed -only one
hit, and struck out 11 of the opposing
players.
This Bobby Lyons is some hitter. He
has three home runs to his credit in
the four games he has played in the
legaue, besides several doubles and
singles. In stirring up pep in his
team, he is second to none. To him,
is due the credit for the success of
the Freshmen team.
where the meet is to be held are go-
ing to welcome them .when they are
attending the meet.
Fourth, will be the problem of taking
care of the contestants while they are
attending the meet. This is an easy
matter in some towns and a very diffi-
cult matter in others. It depends upon
how the people take the purpose > of
the meet. The committee will have
to appeal to the citizens to take the
contestants into their homes and then
after the rooms have been secured the
contestants will have to be assigned to
the rooms in the different homes. This
can probably best be done by a com-
mittee of high school students of the
town. To leave a pleasant remem-
brance of the meet the contestants must
be welcomed and entertained while in
attendance at the meet.
And we must not forget this boy
Perkins, who is the “Ump” at all the
San Marcos games. He is an old Bob-
cat with an enviable record for any
aspiring athlete to follow. And they
don’t argue over his decisions either!
-o-
Bob Shelton’s steal of third base
while the Dundee’s were arguing over
who should get the ball, was a feature
of Tuesday’s game. This boy is the
brains of the All-Stars infield and de-
serves a great deal of credit. Of
course, the rest of them have brains—
but his are more evident.

Mr. Gregory: “The thing about that
is, I never did believe in that ‘women
and children first’ business.”

The English Lingo.
Our language is a strange affair;
it does not quite connect. You say a
thing and mean it not, _ but yet it is
correct.- A girl’s vacation was at an
end; she cried: “My off is all.” A
baseball player gets a hit, but yet he
hits the ball. A little boy will throw
a stone; the stone will bean a -man.
The man in turn will throw a fit—you
say he’s kicked the pan.
“There goes the bell”, a student
yelled. “Went where?” another cried.
"Gingham changed from red to_ white
is classed as being dyed. A piece of
cash is called a crown; and crowns
are worn by Earls. Jack Dempsey
crowned the Frenchman^—Jack’s crown
is full of curls. You say a man is bald
of head—you mean his hairs are scarce.

Oh, has she gone?
