Best Cflllldl Team in Texas If the Eagle basket ball team beat the Southwestern University team it was almost sure that the Eagles could win the T. I. A. A. championship without difficulty. When the news reached Denton that the fast Southwestern team had been defeated the second time by the Eagles, it was planned by loyal rooters to celebrate this occasion. A large bonfire was built in the middle of a street near the College, and merrymaking was carried on until about 3 o'clock the next morning. It was planned to meet the victorious team the next morning when it arrived on the 9:18 train from Georgetown. Many students marched to the railroad station through mud, rain, and sleet, and such a demonstration had never been given to a Normal team as was given to the victorious Eagles. The members of the team and coach St. Clair were carried from the train to waiting automobiles and escorted by the students to the college campus amid shouts of joy and triumph.

The 66lRep99 Section SCREAM, EAGLES, SCREAM l And such a volume of sound would burst forth from the throats of hundreds of loyal rooters that the roof of the gymnasium would almost be lifted. No team is able to win games without the proper support from the sidelines, and many victories are won by the rooters on the sidelines who are backing the team on the basket ball court. Rooters and yell leader deserve their share of praise in bringing the 1922 T. I. A. A. basket ball championship to the North Texas State Normal College. SCREAM, EAGLES, SCREAM! A Twelve

Tlhe Student-Wacullty Council HE Student-Faculty Council was originally a body created to revise the regulations governing the school. The student members were elected by the students, one from each college class being chosen to represent his class, and one from the Normal School being chosen to represent that group, and the faculty members were appointed by the president. After the work of revising the regulations was over, the president retained the Council as part of the organization of the school. He also retained the ten original members for the year, and enlarged the body by adding one faculty member and one student. The Council is a legislative body. It is primarily interested in passing such legislation as will protect the students and help the best interests of the school. While laws governing discipline are the sub- jects of much of its deliberation, these are not all it gives its time to. It is ready to help any committee with its individual problems by giving counsel, by making recommendations to proper authorities, or by passing regulations. Because of its newness, the Council has felt its way carefully, and has tried to be constructive and at the same time conservative. It is the policy of the Council not to interfere with the work of existing committees. The ultimate good resulting from the work of the Council, however, is not to be found in a code of laws, however worthy such a code may beg it is to be found in the closer co-operation between students and faculty, and in the warmer sympathy arising between the two groups, because of the work in common done by them for a common cause. Such a community of interests can not fail in bringing about a heartier sympathy and a clearer understanding, and must result in a college life that is higher in tone, purer in color, closer in harmony, and richer in culture than a college life can be where discord or jealousies abound. Though the work so far has not been spectacular nor revolu- tionary, yet the Council modestly claims to have helped somewhat toward raising the standards of scholarship and toward democratizing the school. It is a body of earnest men and women who want to serve their school well, and who want to leave for their successors a reputa- tion for clear thinking and honest action. I ourlwffl
