THE LONE STAR LUTHERAN
Monday, February 22, 1932
This and That
^ ■-*
The botany class looked quite
flowery planting verbenas on the
campus. And of course special
note was taken of the flowered
pajamas introduced by several of
the young ladies.
But they have nothing on the
zoology class. My, how the curves
and forms, are so predominant
among the amoeba.
As yet, however, Pudden hasn’t
determined where her parame-
cium is! Nor has Junior Starcke
found the amoeba which escap-
ed.
Still speaking of animals, the
school favorites have been select-
ed. Notice how few of them are
wearing hats.
And still speaking of animals,
what happened to the soup
hounds? Did Peter and Paul pos-
sibly peddle pretty puppies?
Oh! The profs have really ex-
pounded some more new theories.
Here they are:
Latin and Greek are the same
in all languages. And if you learn
some of these big words, they
won’t look like a Bohemian for-
est to you ... Prof. Ander.
It’s a tough world! At the
north pole you freeze and at the
south pole you burn up. I guess
most of us will go south.. Prof.
Pfennig.
And we mustn’t foirget Prof.
Kuhlmann! The following epi-
sode occurred in his freshman
class. (Interesting, bah jove!)
Gaines Whittington: “A zebra
may be described as looking like
a donkey.”
Fred Moore Caldwell: “No. Say
it looks like a Whittington.”
Max M.: “Wot’s the argument?
They’re both the same.”
Speaking of profs, brings the
connotation of absent-mindedness.
Irene washes her hands instead of
getting a drink of water.
It’s really getting serious when
Ora Nelle reads Sears and Roe-
buck just before retiring!
Edna Wied has been moseying
around with red spots on her
face. And she wasn’t clowning,
either.
And news about our ex-editor
Behrendt. He is more cynical
and conservative than ever, but
he still has those velvety brown
eyes influencing the ladies, even
if the Bolivars don’t appreciate
’em.
Does Martina Major rate with
the State Department of Educa-
tion? Why, they even sent her
a bulletin.
The latest pastime in the
girls’ dormitory—eating and peel-
ing grapefruit, and making Ruth
clean up the peelings.
Speaking of Ruth, have you
heard that Harold will be with
us this week-end?
The chorus members tried
looking angelic Wednesday for a
change. They had their pictures
taken!
Oh, yes, don’t believe this one
or do! But “Nasty,” says he
doesn’t know anything about ro-
mance!
Now’s the time to fall in love,
but beware of engagements. Fur-
ther information obtainable from
Pearl or YaYa.
P. S.: I forgot to tell you! Our
new editor is much easier to see
than the one what was. He
weighs 190! Well Done Right.—
Yep! That’s him, typically typi-
fied.

school—The boy that can’t wait
until one is finished with the daily
paper, and has to read over ones
shoulder.

A Set of Rules for New Editors
1. Always be in a bad humor,
it saves wear and tear on the dis-
position.
2. Never assign articles until
day they are due; there will be
full cooperation of other mem-
bers of the staff. They will all
have copy ready one week later.
3. According to Behrendt, al-
ways look especially grouchy at
staff meetings.
4. To save time go crazy now,
you may not have time later.
News Item
Bolivarville, Jan. 32, 1776—Ex-
asperated Press; Professor Abso-
lom B. Zilchstein, brother of the
famous Prof. Albert M. Zilchstein,
is a visitor in Bolivarville this
week. He is a noted musician,
and will give a recital while in
this city. His favorite instrument
is the zither, but in his concert
he will play a harmonica if any
one will lend him one.
At this program Professor Al-
bert M. will also give an act; he
will demonstrate his latest in-
vention, paneless window. (Some-
thing absolutely new we have
never heard of a painful window).
“It is not possible to see through
this window,” the Professor ex-
plains, “and it is therefore neces-
sary to put the window in a blank
wall where nothing could be seen
anyhow.”
Notice
Botts Bros. Department Store
will be closed on Washington’s
birthday, so don’t nobody come in
that day. Eupheus Botts.
Firemen’s Meeting
The following are the minutes
and seconds of the last meeting:
1. The boys decided that they
would answer no calls on Wash-
ington’s birthday.
2. There will be a moratorium
I on fires on Washington’s birthday.
3. Anybody that has a fire has
to put it out hisself.
Signed:
Sec’y Abe Zilchstein
About the Band
The band played at the high
school on the community Wash-
ington Bi-centennial program.
This program was sponsored by
the Seguin Chamber of Com-
merce. Mr. Fred Knetsch was
chairman of the committee in
charge of this very interesting
and instructive program.
Let’s give the band a great big
hand! They have been doing
mighty fine work. They certainly
have been supporting the Bull-
dogs.
MISTAKES
When a garage man makes a mis-
take he adds it on your bill,
j When a carpenter makes a mis-
take, it’s just what he expected.
When a preacher makes a mistake
nobody knows the difference.
When a lawyer makes a mistake
it was just what he wanted be-
cause he has a chance to try
the case all over again.
When a judge makes a mistake
it becomes the law of the land.
When a doctor makes a mistake
he buries it.
But when the editor makes a mis-
take—GOOD NIGHT!
—Bennington Banner.
Rank: “Why do you talk to
yourself, Alton?”
Jung: “Well, for two reasons.
First, because it’s a- great pleas-
ure to talk to an intelligent man.
Second, it is equally very delight-
ful to hear an intelligent man
talk.”
Prof. Kuhlmann: This selec-
tion reminds me of the romantic
life.
Chubby Wright: Tell us about
some of your romances.
Husband: “I dreamt last night
that your mother had died.”
Wife: “You brute—I heard you
laugh in your sleep.”
HOT OFF THE
CRIPPLE
It happened in Greek class:
Prof. Gibson: “Who was Pluto?”
Theo. Sager: “God of Water.”
Prof. Gibson: “What is a trier-
me?”
Leo Simon: “Oh, a trierme!
That’s a three-sided boat!”
Several boys were observed eat-
ing crackers in church!
Robert Grueber was sitting in
zoology class with his feet propped
up on a chair.
Prof. Ander (glaring at feet) :
“Grueber!”
Grueber: “Huh? What’s the
matter?”
Prof. A.: “Do you mean to say
you don’t know what’s the mat-
ter?”
Grueber: “Wait a minute. Let
me see. Oh, yes! I do believe you
have a tooth missing!”
(We are sorry, Prof. Ander, if
we prevaricated a little; but we
must fill up this column some-
how, you know).

POOR FISH!
A freshman was so dumb—
He thought the seat of learning
was a davenport.
He thought Hot Springs were
bed springs used in winter.
He bought a wooden leg for the
table of contents.
He got a new drawer for the
Bureau of Industrial Alcohol.
He thought a baseball diamond
was a precious stone.—Hi Life.
He thought Andrew Mellon was
a fruit.
He still thinks Rudy Valee is a
place between two hills.
He once thought that Sing Sing
was a lullaby.
He thought an autogiro is an
outdoor ceiling fan.
He thought those Roman num-
erals, LXXX mean “Love and
kisses.”

Question Box
When Did Roosevelt Say, “Speak
Softly and Carry a Big Stick.”
On September 2, 1901, President
Roosevelt delivered an address at
the Minnesota state fair in which
he said: “There is a homely old
adage which runs: “Speak softly,
and carry a big stick; you will go
far.” If the American nation will
speak softly and yet build and
keep at a pitch of the highest
training a thoroughly efficient
navy, the Monroe doctrine will go
far.”
How many books are printed in
this country annually?
It is estimated that the pub-
lishers of the United States now
have 200.000,000 copies of books
printed each year.
Did Penn send the first settlers
to Pennsylvania?
The region now comprising the
state of Pennsylvania had a white
population of several thousand
before it was granted to William
Penn by Charles II. Settlers had
been going there to establish
homes for many years, and when
Penn arrived with his colonists he
took over the government of the
settlers already there.
Do fish obtain oxygen from the
water or the air?
Most species of fish obtain free
oxygen from the water in which
they live. Usually the upper lay-
ers of water are richer in free
oxygen and for that reason fish
generally come to the surface
when the water becomes foul and
deficient in oxygen. This free
oxygen in the air should not be
confused with the oxygen combin-
ed with hydrogen to form the wa-
ter itself. Deep sea fish are so
constructed that they can live
on the meager quantities of free
oxygen found at great depths.
There are many places in the
ocean where there is practically
no free oxygen and in such places
there are no fish.
Why is a jail called a jug?
“Jug” in the sense of a jail or
prison is a corruption of “joggis”
or “jogges,” an old name for a
pillory.
What does “bon ami” mean?
This is merely a French phrase
literally meaning good friend.
Whether you’ll do it or toss it
aside.
i
You are the fellow who makes up
your mind
Whether you’ll lead or linger be-
hind.
Whether you’ll try for the goal
that’s afar
Or be contented to stay where
you are.
Take it or leave it, here’s some-
thing to do,
Just think it over. It’s up to you!
—Forbes.
EXCHANGES
The University of Texas net
only owns oil fields in the plains
of West Texas, but, according to
Simmons Brand, it is also
the possessor of a miniature field
on its own campus. This field
is located in the basement of the
Engineering building for the use
of students in the department of
petroleum engineering and is a
perfect imitation of a field which
was constructed at Sugarland,
Texas, at a cost of $1,000,000.

SOME ONE CARES
When you meet some disappoint-
ment,
An’ yer feelin’ kind of blue,
When yer plans have all got side-
tracked
Or some friend has proved un-
true;
When yer toilin’, prayin’, strug-
glin’,
At the bottom of the stairs,
It’s just like a panacea
Just to know that someone
cares.
Some one who can appreciate
One’s efforts when he tries,
Some one who seems to under-
stand
An’ sorta sympathize;
Some one who, when he’s far
away,
Still wonders how he fares,
Some one who never can forget,
Some one who really cares.
—Selected
Roger Erck: “I got in trouble at
school today and it’s all your
fault. Remember when I asked
you how much a million dollars
is?”
Mr. Erck: “Yes, I remember.”
Roger: “Well, the professor
asked me today, and “heck uva
lot” wasn’t the answer.”
Fish, here’s a simile in case
Prof. Kuhlmann asks for one:
“As quick as Gandhi can un-
dress.”
