Address all communications for the Star to the Editor, or leave same in the
Star box at the Exchange. To insure early publication all communications should

Address all matters relating to business to the Business Manager.

With this issue the staff-elect
takes charge of the Star, and will
guide its destinies during the ensuing
term.
At the beginning, we wish to say
to the student body that the Star is
YOUR payer, and without your
whole hearted support we cannot
hope to give you a paper that will be
worthy of our school. Therefore we
earnestly solicit the help of all of the
students, for without it we can do
nothing. As a rule, the students have
been loyal to their school paper,
and the Star during the Winter was
one of the best school papers in the
State.
The new Staff can hardly hope to
better the Star as it was during the
preceding term, but we will do all
in our power to keep it up to the
high standard which it has heretofore
held; and in order to do this, we
again earnestly solicit the support
and help of the student body.

The Student Welfare Committee is
an organisation that represents the
student body as a whole. It is an
organization which makes known the
wishes of the students to the faculty
If you have anything that you wish
for, make it known by some con-
crete statements in order that this
committee will be able to express the
wishes- of the student body.

If you hear or read a good joke,
why not pass it on and let others
enjoy it with you. Drop it in the
Star box at the Exchange.
* * * *
Although examinations were going
on and the students were very busy
in finishing up their term’s work,
they did not neglect their contribu-
tions to the Star. Material is coming
in very satisfactory, which is neces-
sary to put out an interesting school
paper.
Any one who wishes to make con-
tributions will help just that much in
our school paper, and the staff will
be glad if many contributions are
made.
In sending in a contribution sign
your name on the back of the paper.
Your name will not necessarily have
to be published, but in order to
publish an article it is necessary for
this article to have a signature.
Polk Shelton from Austin, a cousin
of our famous athlete, Bob Shelton,
has entered school.
T. F. Hoffman has just been called
to take charge of the Baptist Church
at Lockhart.
W. I. Woodson filled the pulpit of
Mr. Hoffman at Lockhart last Sun-
day morning.
MOTOR VATION
Miss Falls was teaching the use of
the participle as a means of improv-
ing sentences. Sentences to be im-
proved were taken from compositions
written by sixth grade children; e.g.
“We looked back when we saw the
tamale man. When I got back in the
yard the tamale man was very near,
he was still calling his familiar call.”
Ed. 104 class played the part or
cmldren wno had not had conscious
experience with the participle.
Presto! Change! The class are
Normal students analyzing the teach-
ing procedure.
Miss Sails: “What principle did
you recognize as applied in the first
step of the lesson?”
Miss A: “Motivation.”
Miss Falls: “Miss B, will you ex-
plain how motivation was applied.”
Miss B: “By the tamale man.”
Miss Falls: “You do not get the
situation. We are not discussing the
content of the sentences. Wherein
d.d I apply the principle of motiva-
tion in my method of; teaching :ne
participle?”
Miss B: “Well, the tamale*>man was
walking?” ' ■■ ■.>:
(Editor’s Note: She must have had
the hike to Hunter oh her mind)
PERVERSITY
Young Man: “Please come out
riding with me.”
Normal Girl: “Oh, no, I mustn’t
go out without a chaperone.”
Young Man: “But we don’t need
one.”
Normal Girl: ‘)Then I don’t want
to go.”
Question in Astronomy Exam:
“Name four constellations, and tell
where in the sky they may be seen
at 8:00 p. m.”
Miss Birdwell: “Mr. Sewell, I don’t
knew how to tell where a constella-
tion is; but I could point it out to
you to-night.”
Kellam to Miss Birdwell in a
whisper: “Do like I did; draw the
constellation, then make a picture of
a hand pointing toward it.”

In a close, hotly contested game,
last Wednesday, the basnet nail girls
were victorious over the Commerce
girls to the tune of 26-22.
In each of two hard fought basket
ball games—one between C. I.A. and
T. W. C., and one between C. I. A.
and S. M. U., on Thursday and Fri-
day—the C. I. A. team was defeated
by one point. The first game ended
12-11 and the second, 30-29.
