Bon Jour my good friends. How
are you and why and wherefore?
And all the rest of that. We will
now dispense with all further
greetings and get down to brass
tacks. (Won’t you sit down?)
It is my distinct pleasure to
serve you this week inasmuch as
Mr. John Major is sick and can
not be with us at this time. You
don’t hate it half as much as I
do. I really have plenty to do
without having to dish out hash
for you. Will you excuse me a
minute while I go call Mr. Major’s
nurse and have her ask the gentle-
man what type of column this is
supposed to be. Then I shall open
up the trusty dictionary and have
at it with both barrels.
Ah,, my “fran” here we are as-
sembled together again on this
great College Hill to celebrate the
great Bobcat victory over the
Southwestern Pirates. Mr. Major’s
nurse has informed me, by the
way, that this is to be a sports
column so I shall immediately pro-
ceed to delve into my sporting cata-
logue and expound for you the
present happenings in the great
sport realm.
Mr. Algernon Glinkum will de-
fend his outdoor ping-pong cham-
pionship next week against a ga-
laxy of stars that include men of
such calibre as Horation Dunit and
Oswald Hazzit.
The local billiard tourney is pro-
gressing with ease and arguments
as the gentlemen entered into the
97th week of play last October.
No favorite has as yet been deter-
mined although reports are that
Herbert Hoover will run for pres-
ident in 1949.
And if you will pardon our re-
peating ourself, we shall again
say, “Hail the conquering heroes.”
Now the next pancake on the ice
is a little team from up nawth.
Trinity University of Waxahachie,
if you please! Will you please
stand forth and say a word to the
folks, Mr. Trinity.
“Wal, ahem—er—uh. Thank
you!”
And that, ladies and gentlemen,
is premier Benidito Mussolini who
is second in power in Italy only
to his wife.
Really, folks, I hope that one
Mr. Brown plays basketball also.
Only I hope he doesn’t play it as
good as he does football. Because
as I said in the first place, we
simply must win that game.
And did you witness Mr. Hous-
ton’s little scoring spree in the
Pirate game ? Mr. Houston says
it was only a breeze. (He huffed
and puffed.)
And no doubt, everyone heard
Strandtman (the “floor” man)
emit the lusty grunt while trying
for a close-in shot that same night.
And thanks to the proper per-
sons for the boxing. We enjoyed it
very much. We’re for it and hope
it continues. The only stipulation
is that we mustn’t get mixed in
with it.
We issued a challenge to Coach
Roady for a bout at the game to-
morrow night cause we thought
maybe he was afraid of us but
I guess the reason he surprised me
so was because he accepted so read-
ily. No doubt, this new baby boy
has raised his courage to new and
false heights. Anyhow we with-
drew our offer after he accepted
cause we don’t believe in blood-
shed—and take it from me, that’s
what it would turn out to be—and
you know who the victim would
be. So do I—that’s why I with-
drew.
Well, let’s take our attention
back to the game where the ob-
ject is to keep swishing a ball
through a hoop. Now ain’t that
some goal for upright young gen-
tlemen? It ought to get monoton-
ous but maybe it doesn’t.
Nacogdoches took A. & I. for a
cleanin’ t’other night up in the
Lumberjack stronghold. This year
the Jacks stand a strong chance
of copping the bunting. It is
getting to be a habit with the boys
from the Piney Woods and most
Lone Star Conference followers
are about to deduce that the habit
is getting rather obnoxious. How-
ever, look at Trinity and draw
forth the old handkerchief. The un-
fortunate Tigers have failed to win
a game in the great indoor sport
since they joined the loop, two
years ago.
I’d powerful much like the Cats
to beat Commerce this year—just
on general principles. It would
really do my soul good. And greet-
ings of the same sort to you too,
Joe, old pal. That last statement
was for the sole digestion of Joe
Gentry, the East Texas sports edi-
tor, who, I am sure will not ob-
ject to our putting his name in
type. He’s only human and really
a swell fellow.
Well, the lights are getting dim.
The stomach is turning flips, and
the typewriter weary, so my good
friends it is with a strangling sigh
that I bid you adieu this week.
This station will return to the air
(off) again at this same hour next
SHOPPING
WITH SUSIE
Once again Christmas has come
and gone. Some of'us gave and
some of us got. Yeah, but it is
not all over yet. For as long as
there is some one left in this
world there will be stores and in
them will be things to buy. So we
are just going to keep on shop-
ping the whole long year. To help
you we are going to tell you each
week where you can buy the
things that you want. So just
keep up with Susie and you will
know what the stores have to of-
fer each week.
At Miss Mattie Watkins shop
you will find a very pleasant sur-
prise waiting for you. Just guess
what she has in her store? You
can’t, well I’ll tell you. And they
are straight from Georgia, too.
The most beautiful hand-made
Bungalow Bags. They are some-
thing different. You will be sure
to like them when you see them.
She has them in all the new spring
shades. When you see them you
will be certain to want one. And
when you go to Miss Mattie’s be
sure to look around and see some
of the new spring creations she is
proudly offering the student body.
They are absolutely the last word
in clothes.
The Collegiate shop is another
of the town’s better shops. There
the young colege Miss can find
just what she is looking for. You
know it won’t be long until Spring
will be really here. So you don’t
want to be one of the last to wear
spring clothes, do you? So why
not go down to the Collegiate and
get yourself some of those beau-
tiful spring dresses that are so
ideal for school wear. They are
so reasonably priced too. You can
afford to buy at least three of
them. They are to be had in all
the different spring colors and
sizes. The Collegiate Shop is
going to do big things in the next
few weeks so watch for next
week’s Star and let the Star guide
you to better bargains.
There’s Harrison’s too. They
are featuring the spring showing
of Nellie Don dresses. You all
know what Harrison’s are. When
you get anything with that name
on the article you have purchased
you can rest assured that you have
really gotten your money’s worth.
And those Nellie Don dresses, my!
could you ask for anything better.
For years that name has stood for
the best in young misses’ dresses.
So come in and pay Harrison’s a
visit. You won’t regret it at all.
Spring is in the air and we are
glad, too. For we are certainly
tired of the last few days of real
winter. So come on Spring!
All the stores are featuring
spring apparel and are We glad.
They keynote of this season’s fash-
ions seems to be the blending of
colors. You can wear what you
want to if you are sure you have
the correct taste for colors.
Believe it or not, next week you
are to be treated to a great sur-
prise by the Jacob Schmidt depart-
ment store. They are g'oing to
give you a great chance to spend
your money wisely. So go down
there too when you want to shop.
We hope to hear from Porter
down at J. C. Penney’s too. For
someone whispered to Susie that
Porter was quite an authority when
it came to fashions.
The Mi-Lady Beauty Salon is
making rapid strides in the line of
beauty culture. Did you know,
girls, that beauty culture is one
of the world’s noblest professions?
Why certainly, just look how it has
already benefitted mankind. Pay
Miss Johnston a visit. She will
show you something new.

BOBCAT RESERVES
DOWN M’MAHAN
IN COURT BATTLE
Louie Germer Counts 15 Points
To Lead Bobkittens to
Easy Win
The Bobcat reserves took an easy
contest from McMahan High
School last Friday night in the
gymnasium, running out a 37-16
count.
McMahan’s highly touted hard-
wood stars never got in step as the
Reserves kept them dizzy swish-
ing the ball through the hoop. For
McMahan, Jowers and Stephens
were outstanding. The latter was
high counter for the visitors.
Louie Germer, younger big
brother of Sandy Germer, Cat star,
led the Bobkitten scoring parade
with fifteen counters. He was
closely paced by Tuttle who slipped
in a number of crip shots to raise
his shooting average.

CORA LAY CLUB HONORS
DISTINGUISHED WOMEN
(Continued from Page Three)
of the group to have courage suf-
ficient to not drop her chin, but
to take the future courageously,
in common parlance to “take it
on the chin and to take it stand-
ing.” She closed her heart to
heart talk with the members of
the Cora Lay Club by assuring
them that after being trained in
such a college each co-ed will be
able to take Life’s responsibilities
more gloriously.
Miss Skaggs also introduced
Mrs. Alex Adams who told in
an interesting manner of being
the only woman from Texas to
attend the recent meeting called
by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt at.
which women from all points in
the United States met to discuss
the subject of the National Re-
covery Act. Mrs. Adams told
first of the wonderful personality
of the First Lady of the Land
and of the quiet dignity with
which she presided at the meet-
ing, making the most timid wo-
men feel their presence was nec-
essary and worthwhile. Mrs.
Adams spoke of the present peri-
od of time as the “flying age, or
the age of speed,” and urged each
one to assist in making it a
speedy reconstruction period. She
spoke in an emphatic manner of
the fact that all money being ex-
pended by the Government must
eventually be paid back and urg-
ed each of her listeners to assist
in finding the place for the multi-
tude of unemployed women in
this section of the state. There
are 3,000 projects at which only
men are to be employed and yet,
according to Mrs. Adams, 40 per
cent of the property in the United
States is held by women. Mrs.
Adams urged the women to in-
dividualize themselves. She urg-
ed each one to express her
thoughts in writing. “We have
been given franchise by men,
therefore we should reflect credit
showing that we are worthy of
it.”
She closed her excellent ad-
dress by reminding those present
of the divisions of the Public
Works program; recreational,
canning and Home Demonstra-
tion work, and again she stress-
ed the value of the education the
co-eds are receiving in the teach-
ers college along the three lines
mentioned above. Miss Myrtle
Hardy talked briefly of the aims
and purposes of the Cora Lay
Club after which the group of
approximately seventy-five stu-
dents and guests were invited to
the Tea room of the Home Eco-
nomics building where refresh-
ments consisting of ice box cook-
ies, salted nuts, canapes and tea
were served.
The table was covered with a
banquet cloth of Italian cut work
and had for its central decoration
a basket of lovely orchid stock
and lace fern. Two crystal can-
delabra each held three burning
green tapers. Miss Leona Rider
poured tea and was assisted about
the room by Miss Emily Ritter
and Mrs. Mayme Day.
