ADDRESSES
STUDENT body
Last Tuesday morning it was
the privilege of the students of Tex-
as Woman's College to hear Charles
D. Isaacson of Brooklyn, N. Y., spaek
on the appreciation of music and on
grand opera. Fascinated by his force-
ful manner and his remarkable com-
mand of language, the audience for-
got all else and drank in eagerly the
message which this ^'Evangel of
Music" brought. He stated that he
refused to believe that only a ifgw can
appreciate the best in music, since
real musi; if properly presented, will
grip the heart and soul of anyone
that is human. He said that real mu-
sic comes from the soul. It is written
not for money as is the hum-drum
jazz which today is and tomorrow is

Those Seniors! What will they do
next? One week they use the chapel
hour for a time in which to weep;
the next, they cause the whole stu-
dent body to be convulsed with laugh-
ter.
Wednesday morning they imperson-
ated th§< member's of the faculty even
beyond perfection. First, Mr. Cowgill
conducted an English class. When he
' had urged the students to "clash into
Browning" and had read a selection
in his most eloquent manner, the bell
fang and Mr. Ball appeared. After
telling his class a very entertaining
anecdote, he inflicted upon the poor
sufferers a true and false test. Next
was a gym class and there stood Miss
Parrish, the deadly foe of chewing
gum, giving commands, "Right chew!
Left chew!" At chapel time Dean
Isley made several important announ-
cements and then called the faculty
and Misr, Walton to the platform.
Peals uf laughter went up from the
audience as the various faculty mem-
bers tool; their places. President Stout
addressed the students, speaking"*
them on subjects of vital importance.
Asking the Dean to grant him a few
more minutes, he called Dean Venth
to the platform. The music master
explained the hidden beauty of his
newest composition; and Miss Mc-
Cartney, assisted by Miss Tillet at
the piano, conducted the singing of the
lew masterpiece. The faculty com-
posed the choir and they sang- with
enthusiasm.

t. w. c. —
Mrs. I. H. Burney entertaifled at
her 1509 Terrace Garden home Feb.
ruary 20th with a tea, having as her
guests the Interior Decorating class
and members of the Home Economics
Club. The affair was a most delight-
ful one as the hostess entertained her
guests in a very individual and de-
lightful manner. .a
The Terrace Garden home of the
fiurneys which is filled with treasur-
ed furniture, all of which has been
purchased in Europe, particularly in
Florence and Vienna, is an unusually
interesting place.
It was the privilege of the guests
after a short visit into the garden to
spend a couple of hours in examina-
tion of these antques. The handsome
Venetian cabinet with heavy carving
and three crescents, told a story of
the days of the Crusaders. The beau-
tiful Florentine mirror and chandilier
in the dining room lent to the beauty
of the old and wonderfully wrought
Italian suit of the Fourteenth century.
Who couldn't have been impressed
by the significance of the old prayer
stool, or the beautiful inlay of the
Florentine bed room set? Every room
displayed the excellent taste of the
purchaser and a thorough knowledge
of rare and beautiful antiques.

open house
The Panther City Club held its an-
nual open house Feb. 14, at the home
of Mrs. H. E. Stout, the club sponsor.
Sweet peas in a heart-shaped hold-
er lent an air of beauty to the festive
rooms.
Many games symbolic of good St.
Valentine were enjoyed throughout
the evening. A mock wedding was the
special feature and much merriment
was derived from the antics of the
members of the wedding party and
the preacher.
A buffet 'supper was served
about 70 guests.
honor awards
announced
The College Registrar, Professor
C. M. Howard has announced the
honor awards in accordance with the
faculty plan arranged last year. This
award is based on honor points earn-
ed and the catalog makes the follow-
ing statement concerning the plan.
"As a stimulus to thorough work,
further recognition is given to class
standing gained by grades received.
For every credit grade of record, hon-
or points are given as follows: For
every credit honor of grade A, three
honor points; of B, two honor points;
C, one honor point; D, no honor point.
Toward graduation a student must
earn not only 124 hours but also 124
honor points, whicji mea.ns she must
maintain an average of C as a mini-
mum. It will be notqd by the above
that a B will balance a D in counting
averages.
Under this rating the faculty has
voted that an honor award be given to
the upper ten per cent of students
making the highest number of points.
The standard of award shall be based
on the standing made in fifteen hours
of work. In the case of a tie involving

in chicago
The college is mailing out this
week the bulletin concerning the T.
W. C. summer session. The dates for
the summer session arc June 3rd—
August 1st, 1921.
Courses will b° offexed. in the De-
partments of Biology, Mathematics,
Romance Languages, History, ®and
Social Sciences, Education, English,
Piano, Violin, Voice, Theory, and
other courses in the filed of music.
Last summers session enrolled 113
students and every one was very en-
thusiastic concerning the advantages
of the work. This was especially true
of students that were not regularly
T. W. C. girls and were not fully in-
formed of the high grade of work
that is characteristic of our school.
The enrollment for the summer ses-
sion is not large, but living conditions
and opportunities for good work are
unexcelled in the Southwest. A large
number of the regular students are
planning to take work in the next
summer school and we hope that
to j many others not yet acquainted with
! T. W. C. may also register.
Recently, a very decided and unu-
sual honor came to T. W. C. One of
her students was appointed on the
Executive Committee of the National
Conference of Methodist Students.
Those students, composed of people
from the entire United States, were
selected from the leading colleges and
universities. Of the 15 students on
this committee, only 5 were represent-
ing the Southern church schools and
on]y one was representing Texas—
that one was Miss Opal Bailey repre-
senting Texas Woman's College.
This committee decided to hold the
National Conference of Methodist
Students in Chattanooga, Tenn., April
18-19-20 of this year. The purpose of
this convention, as designated by the
executive committee, is: "To bring to-
gether a body of Methodist Students
to study Methodism's part in the
Christian, world's task, and how we
as students may relate ourselves to
that task." As can be seen, this con-
ference is an outgrowth of the Indi-

and it will show that you are at least
interested in helping T. W. C.
You will find the practice valuable

plays by
spanish classes
Thursday morning at chapel, two
plays were very cleverly presented by
the Freshman Spanish class. Up from
a big, open story book stepped Maude
Maddox, who began to read in Span-
ish the familiar, but ever thrilling
epic of "Goldilocks and the Three
Bears." Suddenly the three bears ap-
peared, evidently Spanish bears, for
they spoke Spanish, and as Maude
read, they carried out every detail of
the story. The beautiful Goldilocks
won the heart of the audience, which
was held in almost unbearable sus-
to BE LAST victim
first GAME ON
HOME court
If you have not seen our club room pense when the bears returned and
these last few days, you are indeed
missing something worth seeing.
Benches line the walls on two sides
of the room and are stained to match
the woodwork of the room. There is
a set of shelves for our "kitchen" and
last, but not least, a door; a large
French door, with three steps leading
up to it. The age of going in and out
of windows is past.
Daily, for the past years we have
played that game, "Go In and Out the
Window." Them days is gone forever.
When we get our cushions, chairs,
pictures, draperies and other orna-
ments, I fear we shall be so high and
mighty that we shall never see earth
again.
We are indebted to the college for
this gift and want to thank them for
it. Also Dr. and Mrs. Stout for their
help in marking our dream come true.
found Goldilocks in their cottage.
. Fortunately, the little girl escaped
and the curtain fell.
Then, out of the story book stepped
Gladys Webb, who began to read
that gem of classic literature, "Little
Red Ridinghood," author forgotten.
Dainty Red Ridinghood appeared and
soon started with a basket of food
to the home of her grandmother.
While she was gathering flowers in
the meadow, the wicked wolf ap-
proached and proposed the plan which
enabled him to impersonate the grand-
mother. The end was tragic. Red
Ridinghood was devowered by the
ravenous wolf; and the curtain fell
These Freshmen displayed aptness
in their use of Spanish and an un-
usual ability in dramatizing the
stories, which were greatly enjoyed
by the students.
OPEN HOUSE A BIG SUCCESS
Do you believe in fairies ? Of
course not, you say. Well, then, do
you believe in fairy Godmothers ? No,
not even fairy Godmothers, you tell
me. But who is there that does not
believe in that wonderful facutly of
the mind which enables it to endorse
the common place, physical shapes
about us with forms other than those
seen? Its power to set into motion vi-
brations of sound which are really not
heard ?
If you do believe this, then come —

chestnut curls and exquisite laces.
Woldn't you love to take a peep
through one of those latticed win-
daws? Just, for instance what would
lie behind that one with the reef rose^th
all around it? Come, just one little |be
peep. There's no harm in looking once.
Now, what can that strange whirl-
ing noise be? Why, its a spinning
wheel, of course, and now since we're
climbed onto the lattice work and can
already on the spindle. But why this
indoustri'ousness we ask? There must
be a ball of somejjijid.
Oh, lets look in at that mansion
over there. Now since we've started

and they are all lined up as though
marching in a parade. Now what in
the world are they doing ? Oh, I
know. They must be practicing the

house at T. W. C. What did I say? T.

we were just imagining, you know,
and we have really been peeping into
dormitory windows all time, see-

girls making their costumes.
And so the longed for moment at

But it rained. Neither our imagina-

the presence of these elemental drops
of water. So wrap^ihg our dignity up

The last of our basket ball games
to be played on the home court will
be with S. M. U. Monday evening. The
student body is expected to come out
one hundred per cent and show the
team just how strongly we are sup-
porting them.
S. M. U. plays a hard, fast game.
We are going to have to fight for the
victory. S. M. U. and T. W. C. have
long been strong rivals and it prom-
ises to be one of the most exciting
games of the year.

FROM trie.
Just before the M. K. & T. puflfer'
out Thursday morning, Feb. 21, Miss
Pinkney and Dr. Stout deposited on
it one of the most valuable parts of
T. W. C—"The Wildcat Sextet." They
straightway preceded to make life
merry for the occupants of said train
and at least exciting for the conduc-
tor.
Arrived in Waco. Clara Pringle and
Nettie James were greeted by their
parents and an uncle of Clara's. For
twenty minutes Waco enjoyed (?) the
presence of Miss I'arrish's kittens,
then they gave another branch of the
M. K. & T. a treat. Thcv had lunch
on the train and arrived in George-
town about three.
Miss Barcus, the Southwestern
coach, met them in cars and took them
out to the dormitory. Some of the
girls stayed with Adile Dabbs, who
was here last year. They rested fqr a
"spell" then dressed and went in
cars to the gym. It was very cold
outside and the gym itself wasn't so
warm.
The crowd wasn't very large and
due 'to the cold the game wasn't very
fast. It was called at 5 o'clock. The
score at the end of the first half was
9-5 in favor of T. \Y. C. Our Cats
warmed up some in the second half
and the score at the end was 2G-8 in
our favor. It was a cool, clean game,
After the game was over the girls
went back to the dormitory and dress-
ed for dinner. On entering the dining
room our girls were greeted with
applause and shown to a special table
all "specially" decorated. Dr. Moore,
who was here the first of the year,
was thejau and seemed very glad to
see T. W: C. girls again. He remarked
that he felt like a mother with twins
who didn't know which one she loved
the better. The eats were" splendid.
Then—thrills! The Southwestern
girls began bringing on dates. No not
fruit ones either. All our girls in-

posed because she'd played such a
hard game. To see Miss Parrish calm-
ly and cooly stand on the sideline and
