DEFEATS BOBCATS
IN THRILLER 16-15
H. Grady Harlan will take his Glee
Club to San Antonio Saturday, Janu-
ary 22, for the purpose of pr esenting
them before the microphone of radio
station WAOI. They will broadcast at
3:30 o'clock.
The persistent rehearsals the past
two months have brought its results
and it is expected that this organiza-
tion will reflect much credit upon its
Alma Mater during the approaching
itinerary.
The valuable addition of Cecil All-
britton to the first tenor section with
its subsequent shifts, is already mak-
ing a noteworthy improvement in the
general ensemble. Mr. Allbritton was
formerly in Simmons University and
contemplates taking his degree from
the Southwest Texas State Teachers
College.
The club has its complete program
outlined and is now busy with the fin-
nishing aud polishing of its repertoire.

HONOR ROLL
In one of the fastest games ever
seen on the Bobcat court, the St. Ed-
wards Saints defeated the Bobcats by
the close score of 16-15.
The score itself is enough to indi-
cate what the game was like, for
from the starting whistle until the
final gun, it was anybody’s game, with
the Saints leading most of the way,
but with the Bobcats always close
behind.
So fast and furious was the game
that before the last half had hardly
gotten under way, Ves,t, Bobcat for-
ward, was put out on personal fouls.
He was soon followed by Erspamer,

to attend. He was enthusiastic in his
support of the Teachers Colleges, and
Was interested in the members of the
faculty and the student body. The
eight Teachers Colleges have lost a
capable official and a staunch friend.

NEW FACULTY
MEMBER WEDS
Dr. Leo G. Gosser, new member of
our faculty, stole a march on us dur-
ing the Christmas holidays and got
married. Dr. Gosser kept the mat-
ter almost a secret, telling only a few
of his friends. Mrs. Gosser, before
her marriage, Was Miss Gladys Pearl.
She is teaching Latin in the high
school at Marta Bend, Missouri. It
was a quiet home wedding, with only
a few of the family friends present.
The friends of Dr. Gosser take this
opportunity to extend to him arid Mrs.
Gosser the heartiest of congratula-
tions and wishes for best of Itick in
yeans to come.

COLLEGE NIGHT A
RIG-TIME VAUDEVILLE
Italian Program
Given at Woman’s
Faculty Club Meeting
The meeting of the Women’s Facul-
ty Club was held on Wednesday af-
ternoon at the home of Mrs. D. F.
Votaw. Messrs. Votaw, Shands, Wi-
ley, Clayton and Misses Kone, Greg-
ory and Fleming were joint hostesses
for the occasion. The honor guests
were four seniors, Misses Deborah.
Galbreath, Maude Hoveland, Hilde-
garde Heyer and Mrs. Herbert Lane.
Messrs. G. F. Votaw, S. R. Kone and
Fleming were invited guests.
One stepping into the Votaw home
might have thought he was in Italy,
so impressive were the decorations.
The door was draped with the colors
of the sunny country—red, white and
green—while the Italian flag floated
in the room and red roses in green
vases gave a final touch. The atmos-
phere was retained throughout the
program. It began with two songs,
“Santa Lucia” and “Naples”, by Rea-
gan Nesbitt, Tom Lay, Lonny Vine-
yard and Vernon Jackson, who were
accompanied on the banjo by Frank
Dunlap, and directed by Miss Barton.
Mrs. Lilia Mayfield then gave a very
interesting account of her trip
through Italy this summer. Special
attention was given to Venice, Flor-
COLLEGE TO CONTINOE
EXTENSION SERVICE
Two New Centers Are Being Es-
tablished This Term to Serve
Needs of Teachers.
According to L. H. Kidd, registrar
of the College, all of the old exten-
sion centers that were established in
Hallettsville, Yoakum and San Anto-
nio will he continued through the
Winter tern. There will be on change
in the administration of these centers
with the exception of the one at San
Antonio.
Prof. Arnold, head of the History
department, will succeed Prof. Gates
ence and Naples. Throughout her talk ’ Thomas, professor of English in the
College Night was doomed to a
failure, it was feared, because Dr.
Nolle was not there to preside over
the program; but like a moving pic-
ture story, he came just in time to
save the situation. Dr. Nolle appear-
ed on the scene riding a stick-horse
and offered as an excuse for his tardi-
ness that-his Packard broke down and
as an only means of locomotion, he
borrowed Dean Speck’s horse.
The first part of the program was
rendered by new members of the fac-
culty. Dr. Gosser was on for the first
number but failed make an appear-
ance, due, no doubt, to his new re-
sponsibility as a recent bridegroom.
The second number was a solo by
Mr. Reed, who was accompanied by
Mrs. Reed. The non-sense song
(brought hearty applause.
! The third number proved to be a
real show in itself. Mr. Dunn and
Mr. Derrick kept the audience in an
uproar the whole time they had the
floor. The duet only brought extra
applause. Mr. Dunn, in his negro
make-up, was the main attraction.
The second part of the program was
rendered by the old members of the
faculty. Dr. Nolle stated that it
bearing the name of “The Big Four”. wou]d ,be only right for the old mem-
she displayed many articles collected
during her travels.
After the program the hostesses
served a delightful salad course, and
Misses Lenora Hays and Elise Greg-
ory, dressed as Italian girls, passed
candy bananas tied with the Italian
colors, as favors.

Arrangements Are
Made For District
Basketball Meet
Arrangements are being made by
Coach Sitrahan of the San Marcos
Bobcats who is district athletic man-
ager of District 22 of the Interschol-
astic league, for the seventh annual
San Antonio center. Subsequently
With this change, no English will be
offered in San Antonio this term un-
der the Extension Service offered by
the Southwest Texas Teachers Col-
lege, but very attractive courses in
History are placed in the curriculum.
Only minor changes are being made in
the Yoakum and Hallettsville cen-
ters that take the form of continua-
tion work in the courses already be-
ing offered.
The two new Extension centers that
have been established recently are
those at Cameron and Seguin. The
one at Cameron is under the super-
vision of T. A. Fisher, superinten-
dent of schools at Cameron, assisted
by Prof. Newton, of the Mathematics
department, Cameron High School.

quartet was organized and trained by
H. Grady Harlan, formerly head of

under his direction toured Texas,
It is well known throughout the State.
Again the State Bank and Trust
Company has evidenced its belief in
the value of Pedagog advertisements
by subscribing to a full page ad in
our college annual. Those in charge
of the advertising department of the
State Bank & Trust Company have
long been associated with this medium
of placing their business before the
students and we feel that the adver
tising section of the Pedagog is com-
plimented by carrying a full page ad-
vertisement from such a group of
level-headed business men.
This bank has been operating in
San Marcos for a long period of time
and has become well known for its
safe, courteous, and systematic way
of doing business. It is business
houses like this that are helping to
make our book a success and by so
doing they win the hearty support of
the -student body.

HINES, “Mocking Bird Sims”
The Cowboy band, with a person-
nell of some forty members, arrived
in San Marcos early this morning and
will give a concert in the auditorium
of the Teachers College this evening
at 8:15 p. m. The receipts of the ad-
vance ticket sale augurs well for a
packed house. The town people are
turning out enmasse, and students are
advised to secure tickets before the
concert.
In addition to this splendid en-
semble, there will be many feature
acts, including whistling solos by Sims,
favorite hits by the Cowboy quartet,
and cornet solos by Rainwater.
Hines Sims, known to his fellows
as “Mocking Bird” whistles melodies
with the voices of all the song birds
throughout. Never has he appeared
that he was not recalled repeatedly
for encores.

bers of the faculty to regain the dig-
nity lost by the new members.
The first number by the old faculty
was a duet by Miss Brogdon and Mr.
Blake, with a harp and mouth organ.
Miss Brogdon Was dressed for serious
opera and played to suit her part.
The second number was a song,
“The Pussy Willow”, sung by the no-
torious tenor, Alfred Nolle. For an
encore he sang a song that ran up
and down the scales, proving that he
was in the same class as Caruso.
The last number proved to he areal

College Symphony Orchestra, led by
the famous tenor, Dr. Nolle. The or-
chestra played several popular aires
and introduced a new savage harmony
to music fans,

Count Macroni Tanner gave several
selections of his own compositions. Mr.

meet to be held at San Marcos Febru- j uourses jn Education and Mathematics
ary 19. The main athletic event of
this meet is the basketball tourna-
ment between those schools who hold
their respective county championships.
The counties represented in this dis-
trict are: Bexar, Blanco, Caldwell,
Comal, Gonzales, Guadalupe,' Hays,
Karnes, Wilson, and the city of San
Antonio.
Those who played in the tourna-
ment last year are: Luling, Waelder,
Johnson City, San Antonio (Bracken-
ridge High), Stockdale, Karnes City,
Somerset, Navarro. During recent
years the Brackenridge High School
of San Antonio has carried away hon-
ors of the 22nd district and usually
goes far if not winning the champion-
ship of the State. The county cham-
pionships are to be determined and
entries reported to 0. W. Strahan at
San Marcos by February 15.
The tennis tournament will also be
held in connection with literary events
and the basketball elimination.

are being offered to the teachers in
that system, credit being given for
this work as regular college credit
placed on the hooks of the Teachers
College here.
Prof. L. N. Wright, of the English
department, is in charge of the Ex-
tension center that is located at Se-
guin. English 117 and 118, familiar
courses on the colleeg campus, are
being offered there this term.
There is no probability that the Ex-
tension service will grow any larger
at present. Every precaution is be-
ing taken to guard against any weak-
ening of the present high standards
that are being maintained in all of
the college departments when courses
from these departments are placed on
the Extension service list. The ad-
ministrative authorities of the college
feel that only the most capable of in-
structors and directors must be se-
cured for the work. This is merely a
continuation of the policy of the
Southwest Texas Teachers College,,.
“Service to Texas Teachers”. The
response to this service in the num-
ber of teachers enrolling in the Ex-
tension centers is very flattering and
justifies high regard with which the
college is esteemed in the minds of
teachers of Texas schools.
