$ rf rf EI. RANCHO 192 ¥ Sim Set A painter’s palette, bore golden hues, Mingled with violet, rose and blues; With a streak of crimson dashed across As the painter sought his colors lost. Royal purple, cerise and jade Mingled in glory as the picture was made; And then, with a swerve of the artist’s brush Flake-white lightened the roj al blush. A little gray and a deeper blue Over this splendor soon dulled the hue Until the palette in its royal guise Became somber and dark to the artist’s eyes; And only the deep, deep blue remained Of all the glory that once had reigned. —Aileen Moore ’27 M

An Appreciation We wish to acknowledge the interest that the citizens of Kingsville and South Texas have shown in our College life We owe much to our loyal friends for the progress we have made in the first year of our institution. We take this means of expressing our appreciation to those who have assisted in making the publication of El Rancho possible. Especially are we indebted to the business men of Kingsville, Corpus Christi, Robstown, Bishop and of other organizations who advertised with us. We are especially grateful to the King Ranch for the beautiful three-colored interleaving plates which carry with them the history and development of the Ranch for which our book was named. It is with pride that we feature the Ranch and ranch life in the first edition of El Rancho. We should be very ungrateful were we to forget to ac- knowledge our gratitude to the faculty for the lessons of in- tegrity, truth, faith and service they have taught. - She Staff
