WE GIVE ADYICE AND
MAKE OUR BOW!
With this issue of the Brand the
tenth year of our history is made.
There has been more interest m stu-
dent publications and in journalism
this year than over before. Wo are
glad that journalistic work has ad-
vanced along with the institution.
But what Simmons needs is a sepa-
rate journalism department. But
you say how can we have such a
department? There is one way the
students can help and that is by dc-
mandipg it and showing the authori-
ties that you wish to study in such a
department. Get- behind the publica-
tions in a more earnest way and it
will not be long until we will have
here one' of "the best departments of
"journalism in the state which is say-
ing quitb a lot.
The best way to start is to sign
up for 'one of the two ourses to bo
offered in the summer. If the stud-
dents want tho courses they will be
dffcred Then if additional courses
are wanted next year they may be
offered.
In closing this regular session the
inanagement of the Brand again
wishes to thank each and all for
every courtesy sh6wn them during
the year and to bespeak for tho next
i year's editor and manager the entire
support of tho student.

MISS HENSLER APPEARS
IN GRADUATION
RECITAL
One of the most interesting pro-
grams of tho season was that of
Miss Bernlce Ilcnslor B. Mus.
graduate in piano in Simmons Uni-
versity this year who was present-
ed In recital at tho University audi-
torium Friday evening.
Miss Hcnsler opened her pro-
gram with the first movement of
tho immortal Wnldstcin Sonata by
Beethoven. Hers was not a light
frothy rendition of this glorious com-
position but showed serious study
and earnest thought such as was
worthy of a player of much wider
experience and showed a genuino ap-
preciation of tho work of the master
In her croup of modern numbers
all were played in a manner individ-
ual and distinctly characteristic of
each comDosition. Beginning with
tho Nocturne by MacFayden the
Spanish Dance "Seguidilla" by Al-
brnir through the lovely "German
Forest" by MacDowcll in which the
young artist gave a most poetic in-
terpretation wooing the imagination
to the sound of the choir of voices
singing in tho distance the bird calls
and tho woodland murmurs on to
tho last number "Sparks" by Mos-
zkowski all were enjoyed to the ful-
lest by the appreciative audience.
The Liszt B. Flat Concerto con
eluded the program. This scintillat-
ing brilliant wbrk requires nn ample
technique and is a pretentious un-
dertaking for a' young player. It was
played cleanly with brilliant tech-
nique and a good deal of the spirit
of the artist
This is the last of a series of
five piano graduation recitals at
Simmons this year which have
been of exceptional merit and which
have shown the splendid quality of
work done in this institution. Miss
Hensler is a pupil of Roxy Harriette
Grove and will study in New York
in the summer. Next year she will be
an assistant in tho piano department
at Baylor University of which Miss
Grovo has recently been elected the
head.

COWBOYS WIND UP
SUCCESSFUL SEASON
By winning thirteen out of a total
of eighteen played six wins out of
ten played being Texas conference
games for a third place in that organ-
ization the Simmons University Cow-
boys have finished one of their most
successful baseball seasons in the
history of the institution.
Although a number of men failed
to measure up to their past perform-
ances nnd the hitting in general was
light the Cowboys consistently out
played their opponents unu even in
the games that wero lost really de
served to win.
Tho season opened with the Can-
yon Buffaloes on the home field.
Hunt Bailey and Daniels proyed too
much for these westerners and the
Cowboys triumphed in both games.
6-0 and 4-1.
On the first road trip the Cowboys
ran upon against Dallas University
and Trinity University. Daniels won
the first game against tho Catholics
by a score of 7-0 and Potter com-
pletely mastered them on the second
day pitching a no-hit no-run game
to win 4-0. The less said about the
Trinity games tho better it is. Both
games were played tho same day and
Trinity won both the first game
12-2 and the second 4-1. Bailey
pitched excellent ball in the second
game.
The games with Daniel Baker were
rained 'out and Howard Payne fur-
nished the next opposition and the
rangemen won both contests 4-1 and
8-3.
The St. Edwards University Saints
were next nnd fell 6-3 and 6-0.
Austin College won" out In one
game 4-2 but fell on the second day
3-2.
The second trip the year was very
successful. Southwestern won tho
first game 5-3 but the Cowboys came
back for o 6-3 win on the second
day Howard Payne was beaten
twice 9-3 and 12-1 making clean
sweep of our four garnes with them.
Daniel unicer came last and won a
split losing the first game to the
Cowboys 4-3f and winning tho second
game 6.-2.'
The pitching of Potter Hunt
Bailey and Daniels was largely re-
sponsible for the good showing of the
team. Only three men will be lost
for next season and with all these
twlrler Jbck vho Cowboys should
have another good season in'ltls
SIMONS DEBATERS AND ORATORS
CLOSE MOST SUCCESSFUL SEASON
Successfully closing the oratorical
and debating season with a victory
over Wake Forest College Simmons
forensic teams experienced one of tho
the best years in their history this
past season.
The men's debating team turned in
n record of three wins out of four de-
bates. The girls team were success-
ful in two out of four debates.
Most of the schools that contested
with the Simmons teams were largo
ones and in every capo have gained
a reputation for turning out strong
debating teams. Tho win over Wako
Forest College was perhaps the most
glorifying win of any of tho contests
due to tho fact that Wako Forest is
an old eastern school much larger
than Simmons and noted for tho
strength of its forensic teams
Much credit for the successful sea
son is due to 1'rol. i. y. Campbell
who spent time and effort in coach
ing tho mens team; and to Miss
Irma Campbell who did great work
directing tho girls teams.
The first contest of the season was
held on April 7 when Miss Josephine
Gavin and Miss Gleo Ingram won the
decision in a debate with Baylor Uni-
versity rtt Waco They uphold the
negative side of the question concern-
ing the Child Labor Amendment
On April 9 Lawrenco Fitzgerald
and Rolfe Bnrnard lost a 2 to 1 de-
cision in a debate with Oklahoma
Baptist University at Shawneo Okla.
The Simmons men defended the neg
ative side of the Child Labor qucs
tion.
On the same date Misses Julia
Morris and Elctha May Wilson tak-
ing affirmative side of tho same
question won the decision over How-
ard Payne College in the debate held
here.
A week later the West Texas State
Teachers College team debating in
their home auditorium at Canyon
successfully defended the negative
sido of the Child Labor question and
defeated the Simmons girls team
composed of Miss Glenna Fay Grant
and Miss Gladys Feathcrstonc.
On April 20 Sam Morris and Elmer
Atwood discussing the affirmative
side of the same question won a
unanimous decision over the team
from Hendrix College Conway Ark-
ansas Tho debate was held here.
Another successful debate was held
here when on April 24 Rolfe Barn-
ard and Lawrence Fitzgerald defeat-
ed Baylor University. Taking the
negative side of the Child Labor
question the Simmons men won a
unanimous decision.
On the s nmo night Misses Ingram
and Gavin lost the decision to Baylor
College in a debate held at Bolton.
The Simmons Girls upheld the nega-
tive side of the question. This debate
was a final in a serios of quad-
rangular debates held between Bay-
lor U Howard Payne Baylor Col-
lege and Simmons. Simmons had
previously defeated tho other two
Bchools but lost to Baylor. This
team is recognized as one of the
strongest girls debating teams in all
the South.
The debate with Woke Forest Col-
lege held in Houston before the
Southern Baptist Convention was
judged by an audience vote. Morris
Atwood and Fitzgerald upholding the
negative side of tho question concern-
ing the government control of coal
mines were given the decision by
a decisive vote.
In addition to the successes in the
debating field. Simmons has had
some success in the way of oratorical
contests.
Simmons entertained the annual
meeting of tho T. S. O. A. in April
but failed to win a place in the con-
test. Miss Hazel Mitchell in an ora-
torical contest with Baylor College
was unsuccessful losing by a 2 to 1
decision.
Sam Morris brought honors to the
institution when ho won tho Texas
decision of tho National Oratorical
Contest He lost however in the dis-
trict elimination contests held at

REGULARITY
Tho secret of successful saving is regularity.
Any person who will adopt a method of saving a regu-
lar sum at regular intervals if only a dollar a week will
create tho habit of saving. To save when tho habit is once
acquired is as natural as breathing and the final reward is
financial independence.
