In the afternoon the greater part of our crowd visited the College of Industrial Arts, and were trea~ed with gracious courtesy by the young Jadies of that institution. Those who did not go were entertained by a number of charming girJs of the Normal. About four o'clock the baseball boys of our institution met the team of that school on their splendid diamond. In the fast and exciting game which followed, we came off victors 7 to 5. At the close of the game upon the invitation of the young ladies our boys scattered off to many different homes to dine with some of the pretty girls. This was a pleasure that just suited our boys, some of whom are usually too . bashful to be conspicious in the parlor. Naturally, after a delightful time at supper each one of us had mustered up enough courage to ask the prettiest girl in the crowd to grant him the pleasure of her company to the Debate that night. The Debate -Oh well! It was grand; and to be appreciated you would have to hear th~ real thing. Result in our favor , of course. As soon as congratulations were over, we were invited to the cream parlor down town where the Denton boys gave u~ a splendid reception, speeches and toasts were freely made during the enjoyable participation of the refreshment each fellow liked best. It might be well to mention that it took a great while to get all our boys rounded up for this reception, as they seemed to be On the night of April 7l h ., at 1G:50, twenty· seven of our people left the Katy station on the "Kat~· Flyer" bound for Denton to the annual Inter-Normal Debate. This number included five men teachers and one lady teach. er, with twehty-one of the fut· ure men teachers of Texas. The trip was a joyous one from the start, that is for us; it was probably a miserable one for some of the fellow-passengers who did not remember the fact that they were once young and enjoyed freedom and plenty of noise. Wit and humor had full sway, while songs and yells were freely given. If space would permit it would be interesting to repeat snatches of conversation C:1nd brilliant flashes of wit and humor, but to do so would be impossible in even a small-sized volume of a book. Suffice to say, that with such bright, sharp-witted and entertaining fellows as A. B. Carroll, Fred G. Erney, T. M. McGehee W. A. Montgomery and others' t here was plenty of fun on th~ ·m y. "Fish," "Ham Sandvviches,' ' Bull Durham and Star Tobacco seemed to be the most popular refreshments alornr the way, unless we mention the cigars enjoyed by our guardian Prof's. We reached Denton about 10:30 Saturday morning, where we found about thirty jolly Denton boys awaiting to receive us. They carried us, by street car, immediately to the North Texas Normal building, situated in the middle of a beautiful level tree-shaded campus, in the p=irt -0f Denton they call West. End. It is a beautiful place, indeed, greatly attracted to chances of but not elevated and surrounded loitering at the gates and porchwith such beautiful scenery as es of the girls . they had been our school.

The house was called to order by Mr. H. A. Nelson, after which the following officers were elected: J. L. Hall, temporary chairman, and regular officers for the following year: President, Virgil T.

The variety of tone was excellent--for arousing the peaceful inhabitants of San Marcos. Those who were not armed with the aforesaid instruments carried torches whose light illumined the noble countenances of the prize debaters as they rode in a chariot gorgeously arrayed in maroon and old gold. (Privately, we think the chariot was a marvel.) The procession started at Miss Hine's and the line of march mcluded the Baptist Academy and Coronal Institute, at which places they stopped and called for speeches. The inmates of the Academy remained in seclusiun, but some one called out congratulations. From Coronal the procession moved to the public square, where the boys gave a few yells and then dispersed. Every body a n d everything seemed to join in the hilarity·even the dumb animals participated. One poor old horse was so completely overcome that his life passed away the next mornfog.
