HIGH SCHOOL CLASS RING
SELECTED BY SENIORS
A class meeting of the seniors of
SWTTC High School was held Thurs-
day, November 7, during which a
ring committee was decided upon. This
committee was given full power, and
authorized to act as a body in choos-
ing the class emblem of 1927. The
class officers were appointed to act as
the committee.
iSinee the High School senior rings
are standardized, there was no choice
on the design, Everyone will agree
that a standardized ring gives more
feeling of its being a real talisman.
After much deliberation the contract
was given to the Star Engraving
Company at Houston. However, many
splendid offers were made.
All seniors who wish to purchase
their rings soon will go to Mr. Vo-
taw’s office to have their grades
okayed.
SENIOR ENGLISH STUDENTS
PREPARE SAMPLE NEWSPAPER
A rope stretched across the back of
room 301, with model newspapers on
it is the result of about three weeks
hard work on the part of about one
hundred and forty students in the
English IV classes.
About two or three weeks ago the
English IVa classes began the study
of newspapers. The first phase of
the newspaper studied was news stor-
ies, news items, and headlines, or,
summing it up, the first page of the
newspaper. While studying this the
class learned what they could about
news. The study of news took them
into the different types of news and
what news really is. Now the stu-
dents understand better what they^
were driving at. Miss Allison and*1
Miss Fleming had newspapers brought
to class and from them students cut
examples of the different types of
headlines and news.
Following the study of news, the
class took up the study of editorials.
Not quite a§ much emphasis was
placed on this part of the paper, but
after reading and writing numerous
editorials, it became evident that the
class has obtained a fairly good
knowledge of editorials.
After the study of editorials a
study of feature stories was made.
This part of the newspaper was touch-
ed still lighter than the editorial sec-
tion, but quite a fe wfeature stories
were written.
After the study of the newspaper
was completed, which was Saturday,
the thirtieth of October, the class di-
vided into groups and began to put
together the various newspapers. Each
student was detailed to bring up a
news story, an editorial and a fea-
ture story. Besides these details the
editor of each group gave the stu-
dents in his staff special work to
bring up, and after about a week of
hard work many good and interest-
ing models of newspapers are on ex-
hibit.
FRESHMAN SPIRIT
Freshmen! Wake up! Take part in
the High School activities; why let all
of your fellow students take your
place in the activities? The games,
rallies, parties, and clubs are for your
benefit as well as for the other three
grades of the High School department.
Go to the games! Yell your best for
the Lobos, and encourage them. Be-
cause you are a Freshman do not
think that you are to let the other
students of High School carry on the
activities, for they belong equally to
you and you should show your appre-
ciation by taking advantage of them.
Do your part, as the rest of the High
School students are doing.
The Lobos are encouraged by the
yells of freshmen, as well as by the
yells given by the higher ’ students.
The fact that you are in the first year
of High School simply ' jpeans that
you are to learn in this grade how to
carry on the activities as others have
done before you. Please take notice
of this, freshmen, for although you
can yell as loudly as anyone; so go
to the games and show them What
you can do!
GRADE CHILDREN HAVE
DENTAL EXAMINATION
The physicians of the city of San
Marcos are working at the Education
building this week examining the teeth
and mouth of the grade children. The
work will probably continue through
Friday.
This is the result of the lecture de-
livered by Dr. W. W. Sutton of At-
lanta, Georgia. It is great work and
much good can be accomplished by
the work these physicians are doing
for the grades.
Much praise is due Dr. Sutton and
his work for the delinquet child.
MARTIN HURST SERIOUSLY ILL
Students of the senior class will be
grieved <to know that Martin Hurst,
who started this Fall as a member of
the senior class, is seriously ill.
He is .now residing at Dale. All of
his friends and fellow students hope
that he will soon be with them again.

KING’S CANDY
SUNDRIES
ARE YOU A BANDERLOG?
There actually are some people in
this school whom the whole student
body look on as Banderlogs! Simple,
senseless monkeys; outcasts who have
not leaders and no law.
Ask yourself if you are a Bander-
log. These people, who are in every
school are pure “quitters”; the kind
that do not care whether anything is
accomplished or how anything is done.
They are always waiting for some-
body else to do the hard things, and
are trying to complete their life cycle
with as little work as possible. And
do they get much out of life? Only
what they put into it. They seldom
finish a difficult task, and, of course,
are not made responsible for difficult
things.
Take a student who is popular, and
is not afraid of hard work. See if he
possesses any of the preceding quali-
ties. He does not, and is ten times
happier than the quitter. It’s because
he keeps every law of the Jungle, that
he is beloved and trusted by his
friends, and has no enemies.
MANY CAVES FOUND IN
SURROUNDING COUNTRY
As is well known, the hill country
around San, Marcos abounds with
caves, large and small. The reason
for this can not be explained satis-
factorily. Why has this region re-
ceived more than its share of beau-
tiful, mysterious, caves? Was it long
ago when the earth was young and
that great slip in the earth, the Bal-
connes fault, occurred, that these
beautful phenomena of our Mother
Earth were made? Whenever it was,
or whoever made them, they ■ are
known all over Texas for their beau-
ty. Wonder Cave, the best known of
these, was discovered by Mark Beaver
in 1892-3. This came about in a novel
manner. Mr. Beaver, when drilling a
well, observed that there seemed to
be a hollow place in the shaft about
ten feet deep. About the same time
he noticed steam arising from a fis-
sure in the hillside. Becoming curious
he widened the crack until he could
enter and, letting himself down with
a rope, found himself in the cave.
This cave was first used as a gambling
retreat by Beaver and his friends.
After a few months he became aware
of its potential value and charged ad-
mission for visitors wishing to view
the beauties of the place, the nature
of which was rather new in this town
at the time. He might have succeeded
at this business, but for some reason
the place did not pay until Mr. Rogers
took it over a few years ago. For
many years it was open to the public
and during, this time it was partially
explored by young adventurers of the
community. -
Another cave of great interest
around here is “Ezells Cave”. Just
how old this cavern is, is not known,
but it is thought to be newer (not by
actual age but the time since its dis-
covery) than Wonder Cave. The main
interest in this is the great under-
ground river which flows through it.
Dark, silent and mysterious—what a
contrast to the clear, sparkling stream
which it doubtless feeds—the San
Marcos River. For many years there
was an old boat down in the cave, how
it got there is not known, in 'which
the more daring souls put out and
scantily explored the black depths.
What a wonderful journey might be
taken down this subterranean river—
if one cared to try it! But this grand
river will soon be out of man; the pas-
sages are rapidly being filled up and
is even now a dangerous place. A
few years ago a party of explorers
had a narrow escape when a section
of the roof fell upon the shoulders of
one of the young men. He supported
it while his companions crawled be-
tween his legs and pulled him out of
danger’s way.
Perhaps the oldest cave in the vicini-
ty is a very small one. near Ezells,
in which are several dates, the oldest
being “C. W. C. 1873.”
WHY MR. WILEY
INSISTS ON STUDENTS
ATTENDING STUDY HALL
Every student that attends chapel
knows that Mr. Wiley is always insist-
ing on students attending study hall
in all of our off-periods. As none are
very fond of study hall all ask the
question, “Why is it necessary for me
to attend study hall?” Being one of
you and having asked myself the
question many times, I have decided
to answer the question for you and
save you a little trouble:
When you have a lot of work to do,
Go to study hall.
If you have a long off-period to
Go to study hall.
Don’t say you have to have a chat,
Go to study hall.
Don’t take a smoke at the old Bobcat,
Take the study hall.
Don’t think I’m trying to preach to
you,
But go to study hall.
You won’t regret it if you do
So go to study hall.
For we have to get these lessons,
So resist temptation’s call.
And that’s why Mr. Wiley says,
Go to study hall.
. The student’s answer:
We know it’s all correct and such,
To go to study hall.
But I don’t like it very much keepers
To go to study hall.
They always are hard-boiled
In that old study hall.
It makes my blood fairly broil,
To go to study hall.
If a fellow wants to talk a bit
In that old study hall, ‘
To the girl that he just thinks is “It”.
Then there’s the study hall
Keeper to jump on top of him and say
“You’re in study hall,
And must not talk out that way.”
Oh, that darn study hall.
And talk about gettin’ lessons. Say,
I’d like to know how you get that way,
I can get my lessons every day,
At home, where I don’t have to stay,
In that old study hall.
THE DREADFUL CLIMB
As one person they heave a groan
of fatigue as slowly they commence
the awful upward climb. Some lag
behind, as if almost tempted to aban-
don the struggle, and are only kept
on by the knowledgs that their pres-
ence will be demanded in the end.
Some make double time, and sit down
to wait for the stragglers and to re-
fresh themselves. As time drags on,
some person calls out the hours and
minutes, and this has a slight effect
on the weary wayfarers.
“Are we almost there,” someone
wails, staggering upward.
Then joyful expressionst light the
faces of the pilgrims, as, supporting
those that are fainting from fatigue
and exhaustion, they drag up the last
flight of stairs that lead up to the
Biology room on the top floor of the
Science building.
Miss Irma Bruce, former teacher
in the High School department of the
SWTTC, and who is now attending
school at the University of Texas, was
suddenly called home yesterday by the
illness of her father, who has been in
bad health for a long while.
HIGH SCHOOL NEWS-
PAPERS JUDGED
The newspapers published by the
senior English classes of the Training
School were judged Monday afternoon
by a committee appointed by the
Press Club. The committee decided
that “The Pepper”, published by Stel-
la Wray Owen as editor-in-chief and
her assistants, Susie Beatty, Thelma
Gray, Tom Campbell, and Clifford
Calhoun, should be given first place,
that “The Lasso”, published by Ella
Conrads and her assistants, Virginia
Crook,' Beulah Kuhn, Margaret Alli-
son and Jeanette Rogers, should be
given second place; and the “Senior
Record”, published by Edith Singleton
and her assistants, Alice Martines,
Velma Schulte, Willie Belle Meyer and
Agnes Underwood, should be • given
third place.
Each member of the senior English
classes took part in the publication of
one paper. The classes were divided
into groups of five each, and each
group under the supervision of the
editor-in-chief wrote the articles for
and organized one newspaper.
Not only do we wish to mention
those awarded places, for several pa-
pers deserve honorable mention for
the artistic arrangement of titles or
cartoons and the original selections.
These are “The Lobo Howl”, “The
Broadcaster”, “The Tattler”, “The Hi-
Crier”, ‘Ah! Ha!”, “The Gold Nug-
get”, “The Wasp”, and “The Blowout”.
ARMISTICE DAY
(By Ethel Blair Jordan)
“Cease firing!” over all the world,
The swords were sheathed, the ban-
ners furled.
“The war is dead!” the nations sang;
Ten thousand thousand joy-bells rang!
Hosannas rose from every shore,
“Peace, peace is ours forevermore!”
Before the joyous shouting died,
Dark war clouds gathered far and
wide,
Men could not swiftly sweep away,
War’s desolating tempest sway,
That down the ancient, wrathful years
Has held them captive to their fears.
In winds too young for enmity,
There lies the way to make men free.
When children’s friendships are world-
wide
New ages will be glorified.
Let child love child, and wars will
cease;
Disarm the hearts, for that is Peace.

PHILOSOPHIANS
The Philosophian Literary Society
met Wednesday, November 4 at the
Allie Evans Cottage. After the re-
gular business session, the club was
entertained by music furnished by
Mary Louise Ivey and Emily Chit-
wood. After this we were pleasantly
surprised by our sponsor, Miss Boyce,
who invited us to a party given at
the Cottage Monday night by our
president and sponsors.
The hostesses then served delicious
refreshments consisting of tea, salad,
crackers, and cake.
The Philosophians have many plans
for the future. Watch us and see how
much pep and enthusiasm a literary
society can put into college life.
Monday afternoon the Spanish club
had a most interesting program. Kath-
erine Wall told about the beautiful
views to be seen from a housetop in
gay Seville. Clarence Lange discuss-
ed, “What We Owe to Spain”, from
the literary, artistic, and political
points of view. A truly Spanish note
pervaded the meeting when Ada Grace
