TOM SKEYHILL HERE
TONIGHT ON LYCEUM
The third lyceum number of the
year is scheduled for Friday night
when Tom Skeyhill noted lecturer
delivers an address here.
Mr. Skeyhill is called a "student of
world affairs" and ho comes highly
recommended as an interesting and
enlightening- speaker. He is a native
of Australia but for the last ten
years has toured tho world hunting
material for his expositions of world-
wide problems.
Skeyhill lost his sight in the Dardc-
nelles campaign but miraculously re-
covered his vision after three years.
He spoko in behalf of tho war loan
campaigns; attended the Peace Con
ference; attended tho Geneva Con-
ference; and toured all through the
war stricken part of Europe.
Some of his subjects are: "Tho
Coming Renaissance in Europe" "The
New Elizabethans" and "A Young
Man Looks at His World." Simmons
students are assured of an interesting
evening.
Th lecture will begin at 8:30

SCOTT W. HICKEY TO
PASTOR WALNUT STREET
BAPTIST CHURCH ABILENE
The Walnut Street Baptist Church
unanimously .called Rev. Scott W.
Hickey of Abilene as its pastor Wed-
nesday night in a regular conferenco
meeting. Tho former pastor R. 11.
Williams recently resigned to .take
up other work.
Besides being a student in Simmons
Mr. Hickey is the pastor of threo
churches one a half-time church in
Runnels county the other two being
fourth time.
Walnut Street church is ono of the
five Baptist churches in Abilene. It
has grown from a charter member-
ship of thirty-three since its organi-
zation in September 1921 to a pres-
ent enrollment of over' one hundred.
It is now a half-time church.
Tho fact is noticeable that during
this period of its growth Simmons
men have played a great part in its
upbuilding by serving as pastors.
Much credit and praise is due John
Newsom an alumnus of Simmons
who served in this capacity as pas-
tor and who did much in establish-
ing a firm foundation by starting the
work of the church off in a great
way. .
A new church building was ejected
last year to replace tho old onq which
burned. With the present modern
building and with efficient leaders
to encourage and lead on Walnut
Street church has. a bright outlook for
the future.
SIMMONSITES HEAR JOHN
WCORMACK AT FT. WORTH
v
Among the many Wast Texas pco-
pie' who heard John McCormack sing
In Fort Worth last week were Mrs C.
M. Caldwell Guy Caldwell and Rud-
olpk Coffey. The program was de-
lightfully versatile and interesting
aosawMng to Mrs. Caldwell . As en-
core he Mst "Ave Marie" "Mother

ber war 4Jy apereelated by

A track team that will rank with
the best in tho Texas Conference is
predicted for Simmons this year by
local experts after a glance over tho
promising material taking daily workt
outs in Parramoro Field or known td
bo in school. With practically all 'of
last year's squad back and a wealth
of high school material Coach Paynd
should be ablo to put a team in the
field that will please even his own
critical eye.
Stevens and Barmpro Bounds ex
Abilene High athletes winners of last
year's interscholastlc meet nt Austin
add much to tho Purple and Gold's
outlook in this field. -Bounds is a
high hurdler while Stevens clicks off
the hundred in ten flat runs the low
hurdles fast enough to hold the state
record in high school competition and
leaps consistently around twenty-
three feet in tho broad jump.
Foster Grubbs and Cross are also
promising dashers and should be able
to add points to the team's total by
nosing out opposing men in tho leap
for the tape".
Lynch captain of tho team is an
excellent low hurdler and one of the
best 440 men to be found in the Con-
ference. Lynch is also a good man in
tho hundred and two-twenty races.
McCollum Is another "old" man in tho
four-forty and broad jump.
Fry Moore and Davis are back for
tho distance events Fry in thb half1
and Moore and "Racehorse" doing the
mile. SJtovjtll Koen Davenport and
several others will bo hard to beat
however if they get in there and
work for places.
Marshall Vaughn and McCasland
are all back for the weight events
with Armour and Stovall being added
to make competition keener. In this
department Simmons should be able
to sweep the' field in every meet.
Atwooa in tne vault should be even
better than last year while Hilbun
and McCasland are expected to show
their old form in tho high jump. A
cane pole lasts a long time when
these men are in action they seldom
knock it off.
Coach Payne has a number of meets
scheduled for this year and if tho
team comes up to expectations should
be able to chalk up a number of wins
for his men. Ho states that an inter-
class track meet will bo held sometime'
in the near future so all the JJaddocks
and Nurmis in school had "EJtter be
warming up to help tho old class out.
BLANCHE ROSE WALKER

Miss Blancho Rose Walker will be
the chief speaker at the regular meet-
ing of tho Volunteer Band Tuesday
evening at 7:15 in Mr. Bond's room

Miss Walker has recently returned
from China and will have some inter
esting revelations to make. A short
program is also being planned for tho
service.
Only one program wad sent out by
the Band last Saturday. A program
on the subject "Two Roads Tha Nev-
er Meet" was given at Sambo. Tho
three parts: "Very Short" dealing
with the brevity of time of life of
the sinner's joy and the: saint's sor-
row; "Very Long" dealing with God's
love eternity the sinner's punish-
ment and the saint's joy; and "Take
Heed" which road you are traveling
were discussed by Misses Ethel Shaw
Verna Thomason and Mrs. Vesta
Boyd. Mr. J. C. Koen" drew A chalk
sketch of tho two roads ono leading
to eternal lifo and the other to etern-
al punishment and urged that each
person decide which road he would
