each couple took its journey home-

proved excellent entertainers and it
’s rumored that another social is to
be enjoyed in the near future.
Loyd Bolton, an old Normal
Student, was a visitor at the Normal
Wednesday and seemed to enjoy the
pep rally Wednesday night.
Mrs. Maddox went to Llano this

A rgoup of war heroes were dis-

SEVEY HOUSE BEAUTIES
FEATURE IN ARMISTICE
PARADE
A bevy of Sevey House beauties,
seven in all, were the chief decoration
on the Sevey House car that partici-
pated in the Armistice parade Thurs-
day morning. Aside from these,
however, the car was beautifully
decorated in red, white and blue and
Normal colors. The young ladies
were also decked in patriotic colors
and wore Normal skull caps to carry
out the color scheme. Frances Ro-
senthal and Mildred Finfrok stood
on the left and right running board,
We are optomists; and we believe
were: Katherine Schramm, Adate.o
Singleton, Marguerite McFarland,
Eleanor Schramm and Betty Wilder.
Everyone agreed that the Sevey car
was the best decorated of all.

laugh at the many brainless remarks
O- “Reddy the Kid. ” There is some
doubt whether “Reddy” will live
over his drink of benzine and his
supper. We are hopeful at least.
Miss Hopson was responsible for
getting up the play and certainly put
if over.
But this was not all. The mem-
bers of the club were informed that
hot tamales were ready for destruc-
tion. Immediately there was con-
fusion and even the president lost
his dignity and abandoned his chair
to join the tamale fiends.
Our next program should be a
rollicking success as Buddy Ivey and
Eula Ward are to be featured in a
one act comedy entitled “A Pair of
Lunatics.” Gangway for the Dramatic
Club.

ARMISTICE DAY, 1920
(Continued from Page 1)
and no ole enthusiasm for humanity
give way to a cold-hearted, material
selfishness. We have seen the
prophets of the new day thrust aside
m behalf of the profits of the old
order. We have been robbed by the
profiteer and duped by the politi-
cian; oppressed by the high cost x>f
living, and impoverished by under-
production and over production. Our
returning soldiers, whom we ac-
claimed two years ago as conquering
heroes, even the sick and wounded
among them, we have neglected and
forgotten. An age of cynicism is
upon us; scouting truth; discounting
patriotism, and openly proclaiming
humanitarianism as the maudlin
dream of weak minds. Few believe
in anything except themselves, or
hope for anything, except for them-
selves. .
Yet is all lost? No, the darkness
that lies around us so dense and
black is but the herald of the dawn.
We are optimists; and we believe
that somewhere, beyond the stars,
mayhap, there rules a divine intelli-
gence that will not allow those who
gave their today for our tomorrow,
to have died in vain; and we believe
that in a happier, if far off time,
the emancipated nations will yet
celebrate November 11 as the uoral
day cf a new era, the beginning oLa
nobler and finer civilzation; for,
“Truth crushed to earth will rise
again,
The eternal years of God are her’s ^
But error, wounded, writhes in pain
And dies amid her worshipers.”
MANY FAMOUS PICTURES EX-
HIBITED IN TRAINING
SCHOOL
The Elson Art-Exhibit held in the
Education Building last week was
one of the most interesting events of
the term. Eighty dollars worth of
pictures were bought and donated to
the Training Sshaol and the Weit-
over School together. Miss Johnsons
room, given over for a part of the
exhibit, was very attractively ar-
ranged, which added to the enjoy-
ment of the pictures. Among the3a
were splendid reproductions from
Raphael, De Vinci, Corot, Millet, and
m.any other famous artists. There
was a'.so a number of large photo-
graphic reproductions of the most
famous specimens of the world’s
sculpture and architecture. Numbers
oi students were wise enough to taka
advantage ef such an opportunity to
become better acquainted with the
work of the worlds artists. Some ot
the classes m foreign languages were
taken to the exhibit for interesting
lectures on the dress, customs, and
environment of the people whose
language was being studied.
The first and second grades were
winners in the ticket contest an I
hove chosen a large copy of Van
Dyke’s Babv Stewart for ther reward.
The fifth and sixth grades, who were
second in the race, have been award-
ed with a reproduction of Landseer’s
“A Distinguished Member of the
Humana Society.”
Every one who attended this Ex-
hibit feels amply repaid for the smaK
admittance fee, and it is generally
conceded by- the various language
classes who were allowed to attend
that the whole thing was an extra-
ordinarily happy success.
Gladys Blaylock visited her home
at Cameron last week and was forced
to remain there on account of sick-
ness. We are glad that she was able
to return to school this week.

THURSDAY’S PEP'
Did you notice the pep displayed
by every Normalite at the game
Thursday? Wasn’t it great? And
why shouldn't it have been so? After
sucn an inspiring’ pep rally the night
before, and the expressed feeling
that we were invading another’s
territory! And the band! Even ?f
you did not notice that great asset
to tne game, you could not help but
feel its effect. Perhaps you were
unconscious oJ>-receiving any affect
from the band, but you did just the
same. A band just naturally puts'
pep into the rooters and makes it
seem like a real football game, and
no real game is complete without
one. Incidentally, a band on each
side of the gridiron made it peppy
: ' '• 1 ' ■ i ; :
comm’ and goin. j Laut
Long before the game started our
side of the bleachers were packed
with a yelling mass of Normalites.
For twenty minutes they rent the air
with their yells. Then Dick an-
nounced that the Bobcats were com-
ing. The word, Bobcat, made every-
body forget that they knew how to
do anything else but yell. It was one
prolonged roar. Then there Was a
lull, and around the south end of
the gridiron those maroon decked
warriors came into sight, slowly,
steadily, sturdily, they marched on
the field. The mention of them had
set the bleachers wild; the sight of
them sent them into a state of
frenzy. In the way of noise and ex-
citement, anything that had happened
before was like a popgun to the side
of a Verdun front. And to say that
he was as cold blooded as a fish,
Would be a mild accusation to apply
to the fellow who could not feel his
blood tingle to the end of his toes
when that team hove into sight, and
feel that he could lick the whole Cub
suuad single-handed.
A certain girl was the center of a
biiiliant love affair and the neigh-
bors we.e very much interested. One
day the little boy who lived across
the street stopped her and said: “Oh
Miss Mary, my papa said last night
that some one ought to tell you to
pull down the shades ’cause if love
is blind, the neighbors are not.”
Misses Vivian Smith and Clara
Fowler spent the week in San Antonio.
