Summer Melts Into Fall Summer passed quickly in a hazy succession of days. Students spent the three months at work or play all regroup into the Howard Payne stu- dent body for the fall semester. Anita Bryant, noted performer and Christian crusader was welcomed with open arms by the community of Brownwood as she sang her songs of liberty and inspiration at Cen Tex Stadium. In preparation for the long planned institute of Christianity, houses along Center fully removed. The tennis courts received a face lift and general overhaul, providing attractive facili- ties for returning tennis fans and the opportunity for the formation of a tennis team. Cheerleaders went to SMU for the annual yell leader camp and returned waving spirit- stick awards and bouncing with enthusiasm and some dubious yells. HPU and a flag corp from New York held a flag camp for high schools, coaching them in the bas- ics at Coggin Park. Dr. and Mrs. Brooks, and a group of friends of the University toured in Europe, and Dr. Clarence Kincaid from Texas Tech University led a water- color workshop sponsored by the Art Department.
