FRESHMEN OF DRAMATIC
CLUB TO PRESENT “THE
SWAN” ON FEBRUARY 22
Since the holidays, the Foot-
light Dramatic Club has done
quite a bit of work in selecting
plays. Four plays are being con-
sidered for various purposes.
Every year February 22 is the
date designated for the freshman
play. One has finally been agreed
upon. It is “The Swan,” written
by a Frenchman who won a Le-
gion of Honor medal through his
play. “The Swan” will surely
please since it is a combination
of humor, cleverness and ro-
mance, each being carried out to
the nth degree. All who have
read it or know anything at all
about it, are very enthusiastic
and work on it will begin imme-
diately after exams. Try outs
will be held on Thursday, Janu-
ary 23. The play has fifteen furnishing the students with such
T. L. C. SECURES
POSTOFFICE
EQUIPMENT
Pflugerville Fixtures
Put Up In Main
Building
When you walk into the Ad-
ministration Building of Texas
Lutheran College there falls upon
your delighted vision a whole,
complete, little postoffice, com-
plete to the last detail — boxes,
stamp window, letter nad pack-
age boxes etc.
There are 142 boxes, a window
for issuing packages, and the two
compartments for mailing letters
and packages.
The boys spent many a long
hour with steel wool and other
paraphenalia, scrubbing and
shining the front of the boxes,
but it was all well worth then-
labor, for, my! How those boxes
shine!
Everyone had quite a time
learning and remembering their
combinations—lots of them for-
got, and had to open their boxes
by the “trial and error method”
(for the benefit of students of
Education 113). But that little
difficulty merely added color and
interest to the ordinary process
of securing the mial. It’s really
a thrill now to walk up to a real
postolfice, twist a couple of dials
and open a box all your own!
Thanks to good old T. L. C. for
characters and the feminine
Husband was the other playET
characters dominate. “The Queen’s
Husband” was the other play
considered, but take place in a
mythical European kingdom. “The
Swan” being a little more true
to life than “The Queen’s Hus-
band.”
A one-act play has also been
discussed for the District Junior
College Meet to be held some-
time early in April. Texas Lu-
theran College is host to the oth-
er junior colleges entering the
one-act play contest this year.
After much thought and consid-
eration “those in power” have
practically decided on “Smoke
Screen.” It is a play which re-
quires an unusually strong cast
of only three characters — a girl,
a dope fliend and a detective.
This play has had the distinction
of winning several first places.

Luther League
Elects Officers
The regular meeting of the as-
sociate Luther League of Texas
Lutheran College was held on
Tuesday, January 7, at seven
o’clock.
The topic for discussion was:
“Why I Am a Christian,” and was
based on John 20:30-31. The dis-
cussion was led by Prof. Ander.
During the business meeting
the following officers were elect-
ed: Herbert Sager, president;
Margaret Lorfing, secretary, and
Dora Sauer, treasurer.
Thirty students attended the
inspirational meeting. It is hoped
that many more will be inspired
to spend one hour on Tuesday
evening in the interest of the
Lord’s Kingdom.
HAPPY
NEW YEAR!

T.LC. BAND TO AT-
TEND BAND
CLINIC
San Antonio Will Be Scene of
Event January 31 and
February 1
The Texas Lutheran College
band is planning to go to San An-
tonio to attend the Band Clinic
that will be held during the an-
nual Texas Bad Masters Associa-
tion convention, January 31 and
February 1.
This clinic will be conducted by
Mr. William Rivelli, of the Uni-
versity of Minnesota Band De-
partment, and one of America’s
foremost authorities on Band
music.
The Weslaco High School Band,
undoubtedly one of the finest in
the state, will peirform at the
clinic. ■ They will give a concert
in the Municipal Auditorium the
evening of January 30, which the
T. L. C. band plans to hear. This
is an outstanding opportunity of
which the band is availing itself,
as it will hear some of the finest
compositions in band literature
performed and explained.
FINAL EXAMS TO BE
HELD JANUARY
17-21
“Dead Week” For T. L. C.
Students Began Sunday,
January 12
Final examinations will be held
here January 17, 18, 20, 21. Reg-
istration for the second semester
will take place January 21, and
all payments must be made by
this day or a fee of $1.00 will be
charged. “Dead Week” begins
Saturday, January 11 and con-
tinues through completion of final
examinations.
It will probably be well for
everyone to take a few of the
gentle hints dropped by the facul-
ty members to begin studying
now—and studying hard.
Registration day for the sec-
ond semester will be January 21.
We will be glad to see any new
students, but will hate to see the
old ones leave.
Coming Lyceums
Mr. C. E. Jones, who has made
a tremendous success as a lectur-
er will speak on “Dancing Elec-
trons,” and will demonstrate his
lecture. This lyceum will be held
at the high school auditorium,
February 10.
March 2, the Meisner Players
will present a Shakespearean play
at the high school auditorium,
and March 23, the Cavery Artists
will be heard in concert.
Music Meet To Be
Held Again
Plans are being made for the
third annual Music Meet, spon-
sored by Texas Lutheran College
to be held a week before the
Easter holidays.
Last year was one of the larg-
est music meets ever held in Tex-
as, there being over 2,000 high
school students and teachers in
attendance. Rudolph Willmann
is* chairman of the Music Meet
again this year, and we wish him
as great a success this year as
last year.
Growl Staff Meets
Leap Year Party Given
By Sophomore Class
Dorothy Anderson, editor of
the Growl, called a meeting of
the staff Monday, January 6. She
exhibited the work she had done
and asked for additional ideas
and suggestions. Various pictures
are being taken. The first eight
pages of the Growl have been
sent to the publishing house in
Austin. A discount will be given
on all money sent in before Janu-
ary 10.
BULLDOGS LOSE
HARD-FOUGHT
GAME 32-28
The strong Westmoorland quin-
tet defeated the T. L. C. Bulldogs
at Woodlawn Gym, San Antonio,
by the score of 32 to 28. West-
moorland took an early lead and
managed to hold that lead de-
spite several Bulldog rallies. The
score at the half was 16 to 10 in
favor of Westmoorland.
The game was rather rough but
was fast and interesting. The
Bulldog rooters were in constant
uproar.
Chandler and McCaskill were
high point men for Westmoor-
iand with 10 and 9 points respec-
tively to their credit. Bernal
played a very good defensive
game.
“Swede” Nelson was playing
real ball for the Bulldogs. He
was high point man with 14
points. Bohls played one of his
best defensive games.
The game was hard fought and
showed the ability of both teams.
BEGINNERS IN
BAND MAKING
PROGRESSING
Term Book Finished
By Students In One
Semester
The group of college students
who have taken up the study of
band instruments to play in the
T. L. C. band have made better
progress this year than ever be-
fore. This is the first time a be-
ginners group has completed a
full course of study in one semes-
ter and stood ready to devote its
entire time the second semester
in perfecting the numbers which
will be played by the college band
on its annual tour. With this
group so far advanced, and with
the regular band at quite an ad-
vanced stage, the tour promises
to afford the people of South
Texas a finer and more interest-
ing as well as educational pro-
gram than has ever been played
by a T. L. C. band.
American Lutherans
May Meet in S. A.
The San Antonio Lutheran
congregations of the American
Lutheran Church have jointly in-
vited the American Lutheran
Church to meet in San Antonio
in 1936 during the Centennial
year.
In view of the fact that San An-
tonio is so near to Seguin, no
doubt a cavalcade will be ar-
ranged to bring all the visitors
to see the Texas Lutheran Col-
lege’s campus and buildings. It
will soon be announced as to
whether the American Lutheran
Church will accept the invitation
from San Antonio.
Gymnasium is the Scene of
Much Merriment
For All
Saturday night, January 10,
the sophomores entertained the
freshmen with a leap year party.
The girls had lots of fun going
over to the main building for
their “dates.” The couples that
were lucky got there before the
rest and gave them a loud ap-
plause as each couple came in.
The outstanding couples were
Frof, Pfennig and Mrs. Wieder-
aenders, Prof. Wiederaenders and
Mrs. Pfennig, Prof. Gibson and
Mrs. Gustafson, and Prof. Gus-
tafson and Mrs. Gilbson. Where
were the rest of the faculty mem-
bers?
Games, such as Where Are You
From?, Wink, Spinning the
Plate, and Gossip, were played.
Much enjoyment was had during
the “redeeming o£ forfeits”. This
was caused by Harold Ranzau do-
ing the Hula-Hula, Prof. Gustaf-
son and Loretta Albert “school-
hopping” around the gym, and
Mrs. Bogisch picking out the boys
who frequented the dormitory
most often and telling the reason
why.
Refreshments of punch and
cookies were served after which
the girls escorted their dates back
to the dormitory. f
The freshmen wish to take this
opportunity to thank the sopho-
mores for the “grand” time they
had.
KRAUSHAAR SPEAKS
ON “MAKE-UP OF
LUTHERAN CHURCH'
Before marriage a man yearns
for a woman. After marriage
the “y” is silent.
On Thursday, January 9, Presi-
dent Kraushaar spoke in convo-
cation on the “Makeup of the Lu-
theran Church.” The essence of
his talk is as follows:
The Lutheran Church as we find
it today is divided into three gen-
eral synodical bodies, namely:
the Amercian Lutheran Confer-
ence, the Synodical Conference,
and the United Lutheran Church.
The three synods are very nearly
of equal strength and statistics
of the Lutheran Church of the
United States and Canada show
approximately the same progress
of then’ work.
The American Lutheran Con-
ference is a federation composed
of the American Lutheran
Church, the Augustana Synod, the
Norwegian Lutheran Church of
America, the Lutheran Free
Church, 'and the United Danish
Lutheran Church. The American
Lutheran Church itself is a mer-
ger of the Joint Synod of Ohio,
the Lutheran Synod of Iowa and
Other States and the Buffalo
Synod, which was effected in
1930. It is after this merging
that the American Lutheran
Conference was formed.
The American Lutheran Church
as it exists today is divided into
thirteen districts. Most districts
have institutions of learning and
mercy supported by the church at
large. Such an institution is
Texas Lutheran College in the
Texas district.
Texas Lutheran College was at
first an academy. In 1928 it was
made a junior college. An at-
tempt is now being made to make
