College Domgs
These Days
By WALTER UNDERWOOD

LAST MONDAY we had the plea
sure Of receiving a letter from Dud-
ley Martin inquiring for informa-
ton concerning the College play,
which Miss Anne Kendrick and Miss
Annie Tucker are directing. Mr..
Martin attended the college during
the first semester. and made an ex-
cellent record as an end on the foot
bali team. He is working in Mission
at present. but 1t Is hoped that he
viii attend the college again next
fall. The cast appreciates Mr.. Mar
ms interest.
MISS ANNIE Tucker began work
with a chorus for the play last
Thursday afternoon.
THE REGULAR weekly assembly
was held last Wednesday morning.
The college students have been in
vited to spend the afternoon at the
Rotary swimming pool In San Be-
nito, sometime in the near future.
The students were exceptionally en-
thusiastic about the invitation, and
II was tentatively decided that next
Thursday afternoon shall be the
date for the event. Plans for a COL
lege Day and the annual outing at
Boca Chica Beach were discussed.
Dean Caldwell also mentioned a
party at which the faculty is 10
act as host to the college students
and the annual banquet to which
the college students invite the senior
classes from the lower Valley high
schools.
TERM THEMES have taken the
place OF pop-quizzes during the
week. A number OF the students
have had considerable difficulty In
deciding which Is the worst Of the
two evils.

blem IS composed Of q scorpion set

made I'D with an antique military
finish which gives them a very dig

Of the college emblem and a date

satisfactory than was expected. and
a second order was made up i'm

dardized. and will remain the per-
manent token of the sophomore
classes OF the college.

combining literary and musical
education are carried on much as
they r in any public school, pub
lie school textbooks are used md
the public school course Of study
is largely followed. Daily chapel
services are held in the school au-
ditorium. From the beginning the
student is taught the Bible. The
school has its own Sunday school,
League and Young Peoples Mis-
sionary society.
Perhaps the most interesting
phase Of the work Of the Valley
Institute TO the outsider and the
most helpful for the students is
the training in home making. ii
is expected that the girls viii 20
from the Institute TO make homes
of their " sooner or later. And
much emphasis Is given to the kind
Of training that will enable them
to be homemakers in as efficient
and thorough ways as American
girls. The girls do all the work Of
the work OF the Institute. under
the supervision of the faculty, serv-
ing their turn at setting and wait
ing tables, housekeeping. laundry,
and caring for the poultry garden.
IF we can raise their standards
and ideals above that of the homes
from which they come, and send
them out TO raise the standards
and ideals CT others with whom
they come n contact, we have in
deed accomplished a great and
much needed work among the Mex
lean classes" says Miss Swanson.
The members OF the faculty who
are carrying on this important work
at the Valley Institute are: Miss
Hazel Myers Of McAllen, Miss
Carmen Sanchez OF Harlingen, Miss
Anneta Rel OF San Antonio. Miss
Meta Gracy, Tampa, Florida. and
Miss Georgia Swanson of Danville,
Virginia, superintendent.
All Ages Received
Girls have been enrolled In the
school from the ages OF five 70
twenty-five. They have a most pro-
prietory feeling toward the In
stitute and the girls have a happy
feeling Of pride and contentment IN
being the fortunate members Of the
student body. They always leave the
school with c regret at vacation
time.
The physical equipment OF the
Institute includes the $4,000 build
ing and equipment used as the
home and dormitory. Centenary
funds from the Methodist Board
Of Missions were contributed for
this building. The new administra-
ton building. completed in 1929,
was made possible BY the week Of
prayer offering by the Methodist
church, South. In this excellent
building is well-eQuipped school
rooms, music studio. auditorium and
stage.
The Valley Institute Is situated In
the northeast division OF the city
OF Pharr on the three city blocks
donated by the city. The school
has its own orchard. garden and
poultry yards. Numerous citizens
and friends have shown their ap-
probation for the work OF the In
stitute by helpful contributions
which are vastly appreciated by
those who are conducting the
splendid work at the Institute.
