SEGUIN, TEXAS, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1934
NUMBER 5
Life is in abundance every-
where. We observe it in the grow-
ing plant; we behold it in the
fowl of the air and the beast of
the field; we see it in man, who
reaps the benefits (.for does he not
govern all other living things and
is he not supposed to control even
himself?) If this is true, we can
say he is somewhat of a master,
a lord, a king of life.
But does he realize his position?
Hardly. Man does not appreciate
anything until he is forced to
consider what the consequences

Sidewalk Makes
It Necessary To
Move Shrubbery
Since the sidewalk will be ex-
tended past Prof. Braulick and
Pres. Kraushaar’s yards, it was
necessary to move shrubbery and
plants, and transplant them in
other parts of their yards. All
plants and shrubbery on the out-
, er edge of the yards were moved.
Some of the cacti that belong
to Dean Ander were transplanted
on the northwest side of the main
building. Some of the hedge in
Prof. Streng’s yard was also
transplanted. The work was done
by boys who have campus and C.
W. A. jobs.

The Texas Lutheran College
band, under the direction of Prof.
Rudolph Willmann. went to Cuero
for the Turkey Trot on Thursday,
November 15, and to Austin to
give a concert on Friday evening,
November 16.
The band went to Cuero on the
morning of the Turkey Trot and
arrived there in plenty of time to
play several warm-up numbers on
the streets of the town preceding
the parade. In the parade the
band was led by its “strutting”
drum major, Willie Kloppe, who
performed to the delight of the
tremendous crowds. After the
parade the band was given time
off to get their turkey dinner or
whatever they wished to eat. Im-
mediately after the speech by
Governor-elect James V. Allred,
and other short speeches, the
band gave a short concert.
On Friday afternoon the^nem-
bers of the band went over to
Austin to give a concert in the
high school auditorium. Preced-
ing the concert supper was served
at the Lutheran Church base-
ment.
In addition to the numbers by
the band, Prof. Willmann played
several numbers on his marimba,
and Miss Leonita Richter, student
at T. L. C. and violin music teach-
er, also played several selections.

GYMNASIUM TO
HAVE DOUBLE
FLOOR SOON
The contractor has finally start-
ed on the most needed thing in the
gym, namely, the floor. He plans
to get through by the early part
of December.
The double floor will consist of
the first layer of shiplap and the
second layer of oak. The floor
will rest on a concrete foundation.
There will be two five hundred
watt globes on each of the six
arches, which should make the
gym well lighted.
The gym floor was made pos-
sible through Texas Lutheran
College alumni, friends, faculty,
and students.

TO STUDENTS
Dean H. F. Ander has invited
the student body to make use of
the honor library that he has
opened in his office. This library
consists of various books such as
religion, biology, geology, and
many others.
“Everyone is welcome to make
use of the books that I have plac-
ed on the shelf in my office,” said
“Pop.” “Use them whenever you
need them, and be honest enough
to bring them back as soon as you
finish.”
Let us make use of the books
that “Pop” has placed there and
at the same time take care of
them. Let us also help him build
up his library. Anyone who has
a book that is not being used is
urged to donate it to this honor
library.

Luther League
Executives Hold
Meet Recently
Plans for the next convention
of the San Antonio Federation of
Luther Leagues were made and
discussed at the last executive
meeting held in New Braunfels.
It was decided to accept the in-
vitation of the Government Hill
Luther League to have this meet-
ing in San Antonio.
Among the members on the
program will be found an address
on “Incidents in the Life of a
Mexican Missionary.” This will
undoubtedly prove to be an inter-
esting feature. A real Mexican
missionary will deliver a real mes-
sage.
Those members of the executive
committee present were Mrs. H.
Haese, Ed. Knaak, Miss Bessie
Aubel, Hilmer Bartling, and Ed-
mund Heye.
HOMECOMING IS
SUCCESS WITH
GOOD PROGRAM
Excellent Features of Entertain-
ment Make Celebration
Gala Day
On November 12, Homecoming
was observed by the students, ex-
students, faculty, and friends of
Texas Lutheran College.
At ten-thirty the fireworks be-
gan. Did you hear the “boom”?
President Kraushaar, the Rev.
Wilson Hill, Secretary Frank
Quinn of the Chamber of Com-
merce, and Alfred Doerfler made
interesting speeches.
A delicious dinner was served
at noon, and then the ex-stu-
dents had their meeting.
The parade was fine. Only
James and Happy were a bit too
tipsy; at least, their noses were
red. The band, chief part of the
parade, played while they and the
hobos marched up and down the
streets of the city of Seguin.
The college boys entertained the
crowd in the afternoon. Every
one of the events brought forth
shouts from the audience. To the
freshmen’s utmost pleasure, Doer-
fler gracefully slid along a pool of
“wet” water. And when Poss was
half way up the greased pole!—
was he a ladies’ man then!
A lunch was served at five-
thirty.
The three-act play, “Hold Ev-
erything,” was presented by the
Footlight Dramatic Club. The fol-
lowing skits were given between
acts: “Green Watermelon,” No
Nerve,” and “Back Seat Driver.”
After the play, President Kraus-

PROF. PFENNIG
TO COMPLETE
MASTERS THESIS
Prof. R. W. Pfennig plans to
complete his Masters Thesis by
June of next year. He is writing
it under Dr. E. T. Miller, profes-
sor of economics at the University
of Texas.
The thesis is entitled: “Study
of the Operation of the General
Property Tax in Guadalupe Coun-
ty from 1920-1930.” The period
from 1920-1930 was taken because
in those years we have almost a
complete cycle. 1921 had low
prices. Then up to 1927 or 1928
we had high prices, and from 1929
to 1930 prices were low again.
A skeleton of the thesis in-
cludes: 1. Organized statistics; 2.
General discussion, and 3. Con-
clusion which is drawn from the
statistics.
Prof. Pfennig has checked up
on the prices paid on land in this
county. The prices were gotten
from all the deeds given in that
period. The value of the land
when bought will be compared
with the value given when assess-
ed. Then he has checked up the
probate court record for the value
of intangible property listed.
A good deal of time has been
spent in collecting the statistics.
The file books containing deeds
number sixty, each having 640
pages. Prof. Pfennig said that it
took more time collecting the ma-
terial than it will take to write
the thesis.
) Christmas Play j
To Be Presented 1
“The Spirit of Bethlehem,” the
Christmas play will be sponsored
by the Footlight Dramatic club,
December 16, which will be the
last Sunday night before the holi-
days. Some thirty members of
the dramatic club will take part
in the production. The college
choir, under the direction of Prof.
Gibson, will also assist in render-
ing Christmas carols.
All students and friends are in-
vited to attend this performance
which will be given in the parish
house.

VIENNA CHOIR
TO GIVE CONCERT
AT SAN ANTONIO
Students Are Urged to Hear
This Young Boys Singing
Organization
The Vienna-Knaben, of Vienna,
Austria, will give a concert in the
Jefferson High School at San An-
tonio on Tuesday evening, Decem-
ber 11. This choir, composed of
boys from seven to fourteen years
of age, toured the United States
last year, and are now making an-
other tour through this section of
the country.
This group of singers was or-
ganized during the fourteenth
century under the Papal Edict
and is probably the oldest boys
choir in the world. Until just re-
cently the organization was sup-
ported through government funds.
The membership of last year’s
choir was eighteen, and it is said
that it never exceeds thirty mem-
bers.
The young choir is highly prais-
ed for its marvelous singing. One
of theh outstanding features last
year was a small operetta: “A
Wedding by Lantern Light.” All
students who can in any way
make it possible, are urged to at-
tend this musical treat.

Seguin Merchants
Given Barbecue
Dinner Thursday
The T. L. C. commons invited
the Seguin merchants last Thurs-
day evening to a barbecue given
in the gymnasium.
The purpose of this barbecue
was to show appreciation to the
leity of Seguin for the sidewalk
which they constructed out to the
college, and aroused their inter-
est in helping us raise money for
the gym floor. Liberal contribu-
tions were made that evening and
several promises for contributions
in the near future. The student
body is particularly grateful to
all who are helping us to get the
gymnasiujm completed. All in-
terested in physical activities are
looking forward to the time when
we can make regular use of the
new gym.
