The Lasso 1988-89 Aubrey Stewart has served Howard Payne for 33 years. During those years, Mr. Stewart's cheerful outlook and friendly personality have made him a well-liked figure on campus. Howard Payne University Volume 78 Brownwood, Texas GOING OUT WITH A BANG! Wow! It's hard to believe a century's gone by for Howard Payne. But it has! In that period of time we've gone from a college of 24 students in 1889, to a univer- sity of almost 1,300. We've gone from one campus to two, when Daniel Baker College and Howard Payne merged, and we’ve seen Old Main, our oldest and most cherished building on campus, bum in 1984. Traditions were established in the past century that have become an integral part of what Howard Payne is. Initiation, with all its fun and craziness, began in the early years of the college and continues today as we distin- guish ourselves as one of the few campuses in the nation which still uses beanies. Another tradition is the friendly atmos- phere that is so obvious on campus that Thomas H. Taylor, former presidentof HPU, dubbed us as the college where everybody is somebody.” Sports are a special part of college life and our athletes have put forth a valiant effort to excel in the past century. Football, vol ley ball, basketball, golf, tennis, baseball, track, and even boxing, have all been played at HPU. And, referring to our tradition of friendliness, both athletes and fans alike are known for their sportsmanship both on and off the field. Howard Payne has had several dedi- cated presidents who enjoy getting to know the students, and who use their time, talent and influence to further the institution. Dr. Don Newbury, our president since 1986, is one such president and has become a tradi- tion of sorts himself in that he is known as the Popcorn King by the students of HPU. Everytime his porch light is on, it means he's got popcorn ready to distribute to any hun- gry student, and he often brings bags of it to the movie on Friday nights or the TV rooms on weekends. Such events mark the passing of the first century in the life of our school, and it is this, our final year before beginning our second century, that we prepare to igniteeven more events in the future. With such explosive action in the works, it is easy to see why we are GOING OUT WITH A BANG! ■ In Memoriam - Dr. Guy D. Newman 1906-1988 By Michael Ganus and Melody Frerich As we bid farewell to a century of incred- ible works at HPU, it is easy to see why we are going out with a bang. The echo of our accomplishments will continue to resound mind that we honor one of the men who made it possible to reach this point- Dr. Guy Newman. This former president of Howard Payne, who later became chancellor, then president emeritus in 1978, was bom in Dorchester, Texas on December 9,1906, and was reared in the small community of Bug Tussle. When he was in the seventh grade, Newman’s family of 12 moved to Sherman. He worked as a soda jerk to help support his family and in his teen years did not see much point in finishing his education. As he put it, I never really learned theartof disciplined school, and he spent less and less time there. Finally he quit school altogether and decided to leave Sherman. So he and some of his friends took a Model T to Vernon, father of four. Dr. Newman kept a rather hectic schedule throughout his life. which was at that time a booming oil town, and found work at a drug store dispensing In 1926 Newman went to Amarillo where, at the age of 20, he married his first wife, Julia Herbst. They later had three children - Patsy Jo, Guy, Jr., and Charlotte Ann. It was also in Amarillo that Newman re- discovered God. After attending a revival at the request of the evangelist, Dr. T.L. Holcomb, Newman was amazed when his wife left the balcony seat in the church to go forward and commit her life to God. Because of this commitment and New- man's shame at having drifted away from the church, they became involved at First Bap- tistChurch in Amarillo. Newman taught the largest young men's class in the church and conducted prayer meetings. Then one Sun- day Newman was asked to preach. eventually pastored in Groom, Denison, Temple and Brownwood. He also decided to become better educated. Newman was accepted into Baylor Uni- versity under the provision that he fail no more than two courses in any one semester. His high school transcript revealed that he had received only eight of the 14 credits necessary to graduate. Thus he had to clear enough credits at Baylor to wash out his high school deficiency. In regard to the queries about his classification on campus, Newman wrote in his biography, entitled One Guy's Dream, It might have been better if the dean had put a label on my lapel: 'A student on trial for nine months!' Despite thisprovision, Newman gotalong reasonably well his first year, in spite of the fact that by this time he was 30 years old and a widower with three children (his wife had died of cancer when she was 25). However, by the second year, Newman faced the courses for which he had no back- ground in his few years of school. These 4 In Memoriam larly, mathematics. Newman's fnstattempt was at trigonome- try and, in his words, it was as new to me as space is to an ant. The linguistics of the subject overwhelmed him and his total lack of background in geometry and trig in high school made the situation seem hopeless. After talking to his professor Newman decided to hire a tutor. He spent six to seven hours a day with his tutor and trig had Newman so obsessed that he slept and dreamed and hated it with a passion that cannot be expressed. Finally the end of the semester came and Newman went to his classroom to check his final grade. Now this is probably one course that has more to do in my life than any other single course I have ever had, he once wrote. It may have been the most important event of my life. In life, Guy faced numer- ous obstacles, many of which would have deci- mated lesser people, but he overcame them all. Much ofHPU's greatness can be directly attributed to this great leader. Dr. Don Newbury, HPU president As Newman scanned the list of names, his heart sank when he reached his own. He had received an F - an F that, in his mind, marked more than the failure of a course, it marked the failure of his attempt to attend the university. His loneliness, shame and the forlorn feeling that accompanies such a dis- appointment affected his attitude for the rest of the day. However after many tears and much soul searching that night, Newman experienced a new fortitude and strength. It was at this point that he realized that he had God's help to rely on and in His own way the Lord had provided Newman with the means to gain the discipline he had sought for so long. Such discipline would help Newman as he took over the presidency of Howard Payne College in 1955. Such discipline wouldalso help him undertake his dream for the campus - to establish something that would help preserve the great traditions, noble ideals and the high spiritual and moral values re- posed by the Constitution and our American way of life. The end result was the Douglas MacArthurAcademyofFreedom. Founded in 1962, the purpose of the Academy was, to reach the totality of our individual stu- dents so that they would have a true perspec- tive of not only our American system, but of the world in which they live...” Dr. Newman chose Mac Arthur's name because it dramatized the program and got the attention of the people nationwide. It occured to me that there was in this country a man whose image, though controversial, had captivated the imagination of millions of people as a great military statesman, edu- cator and American leader, he said. That man was General Douglas MacArthur. Dr. Newman was not only an effective administrator, but was also a personal presi- dent Reflecting back to the 1958 Lasso, a moving letter to the students is found. It told of his constant prayer for their continual achievement and that nothing may deter your purpose and defeat the ultimate plan God has for your life. The students responded to him as well. The 1968 Lasso was dedicated to Dr. New- man, with respectand love [for] apresident whose leadership and drive have resulted in substantial growth for the college in both physical facilities and academic strength. It is for his great love and dedication that we honor him once more. It is our hope this personal glimpse into this extraordinary man's life will provide an opportunity for those of us who never had the privilege of meeting Dr. Newman to do so. Unfortu- nately, his death on July 4,1988 has taken this fine man from us, but his spirit remains alive in this, the school he so cherished. Perhaps this tribute to a great man by an- other great man will bring the personhoodof Dr. Newman into focus. According to Dr. Don Newbury, HPU president and a student at Howard Payne during Dr. Newman's presidency, Dr. Newman was an unsur- passed Christian patriot, educator and gen- tleman whose vision, conviction and dedica- tion to Christian ideals inspired the tens of thousands of people who knew him. In the 33 years I knew him, he always was a trusted friend and valued counselor. In life, he faced numerous obstacles, many of which would have decimated lesser people, but he over- came them all. MuchofHPU'sgrcatncsscan be directly attributed to this great leader.” Dr. Newman in his younger days. Guy Newman and his wife Estelle were married in 1938 and they have one daugh- ter, Bobbie Kay. Guy considered his wife the greatest contribution to my life.

Several at HPU have done just that. Aside from tackling homework and classes, these students have gone the extra mile and gotten a job. And, according to Kathryn Ivy, a sophomore who is now manager of Hickory Farms in Heartland Mall, money isn't the only benefit of employment. Being manager of a business will pro- vide me with a lot of experience when I look for a job after I graduate, said Ivy. Not Distributing cotton candy in the mall is Michaela Amrine. a junior at Howard only does this position look good on a res- ume, but it has allowed me to meet a lot of people I might not have otherwise met.” Many students find benefits, such as meet- ing people and promotions, a definite plus when they decide to work.

By Ginger Taylor Despite the rumor that no one dates at Howard Payne, and the campus girls are referred to by the guys as Veda Mooses,” weddings do hold their place among campus tradition, just as these sayings do. Many couples meet on our campus and later marry, owing it all to their alma mater. Such is the case with HPU stu- dents MikeStanardandLindaRich. Mike and Linda, who met one year ago at HPU, were married within the HPU tradition. But not exactly in the traditional style. On September 22, Mike and Linda were married during a ceremony held on the front lawn of Veda Hodge Hall, which is where the couple first met. The cere- mony was performed by Dr. Frankie Rainey and six student ministers. Their colors were gold and blue, and it was only appropriate that the HPU Stinger, dressed in a blue and gold tuxedo, stood beside Mike as his best man (Mike served as the Stinger mascot for two years). Linda's bridesmaids were Laurie Majdecki and Karen Huckabay, while Sandra Smock served as maid of honor. Following the ceremony, attended by family and friends, there was a reception where barbeque and cake were served. After the reception, the wedding party stuck with HPU tradition when the rice throwing was replaced by popcorn throw- ing. At a university where so much empha- sis is placed on school pride, Mike and Linda Stanard's wedding, though a little out of the ordinary, expressed the love and devotion many of us feel for Howard Payne.

The new students also seemed to appreciate the good attitudes of the Bootcamp leaders, who helped unload vehiclesand carry the baggage into thedorms. The spirit of the students and the friend- ship that began during Bootcamp made the entire event worthwhile.

Initiation By Kathryn Ivy I traditions at HPU. Years ago all fresh- men and transfers were required to go through initiation or they would never fully under- stand what it meant to be a college student Initiation was a way for new students to become involved in college life. It was also seen as a way to draw a class of incoming freshmen together as a unit. Having to defer to upperclassmen was merely out of re- spect and the realization that someday it would be their turn to be upperclassmen. When asked the question, What time is My most embarrassing moment was running on all fours saying, 'Kibbles 'n Bits,' in Krogers. - Cammie Carpenter, freshman it, freshman? by an upperclassman, the freshman would reply, I hesitate to articu- true course of rectitude. In short, sir, I am a very dumb freshman and do not know. Countless times a day a freshman would recite this response as well as remind upper- classmen how slimy they were and how much they loved their beanie . Today initiation has changed tremen- dously. Now students can choose whether or not they want to go through initiation because of the national problem with haz- ing. Initiation is still designed to help new students become more involved and can be lots of fun if kept in proper perspective. Some of the things this year's students really enjoyed were the dress-up days, watching everyone get dogged in the cafe- teria, dressing up the little brothers and sisters , switch-out day, and acting goofy The best initiates turned out to be the ones who were always ready, willing and able to do anything asked of them. The ones that 20 Initiation Initiation 21 22 Initiation ___Parents' Weekend By Michael Ganus This year's Parents' Weekend, held Oc- tober 1 -2, wentexceptionally well, with over 300 parents in attendance, according to Ann Harris, director of Student Life. Activities held during the weekend in- cluded a parent Pep Rally, a picnic in the park, a president's reception at the home of Dr. Newbury, and a football game against McMurry College on Saturday. Also held Saturday was a Parents Prayer Meeting, led by Dr. Frankie Rainey. Tommy Webster led the music and Kara Kurshiner accompanied on the piano. Laura Arcos and her brother, David, sang a duet, while Leigh Turner entertained the parents with a solo. At the Parents' Club Meeting, four stu- dents were selected as recipients of S250 scholarships. They also decided to increase the number of scholarships to six next year. They also made plans to get involved in the 100th celebration of our school, and elected officers who will head up such proj- ects. This group included the new presi- dents, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Russell of San Angelo. Finally, this Parents' Weekend set a few firsts, with HPU not only winning its first football game of the season, but with a record 343 parents registered (compared to 98 last year). This year was the first time a Parents' Weekend was held during the fall semester, and because of its obvious suc- cess, it is likely that it will bccomean annual fall event. Parents' Weekend 23 Homecoming 1988 One Guy's Dream All I Have To Do Is Dream By Melody Frerich To be selected to sit on the Homecom- ing court would seem like a dream come true for many girls. To know that you represent the student body as Homecoming Queen might be one of the ultimate honors in Discipleship Committee Chairman, and was a national competitor on the Forensics team. Her positive, friendly personality made her a well-liked figure on campus. Another popular student on campus was our Homecoming Princess, Ginny Hardy, of Brownwood. Hardy served as BSU Public- ity Chairman and as historian of Gamma BetaPhi. She was also senior class secretary and a member of the Art Club. The Queen and Princess were crowned during Homecoming Convocation on Wed- nesday, October 12, by 1987 Queen Amy McFarland. MC's for the event were Dr. Evelyn Romig and Dan Baiz.

The resounding echoes of cheer after cheer reverberated in the Jacket Gym on Friday, October 14. The traditional pep rally was underway with everything from the flag corps to male cheerleaders leading the spirit rally. Also, during this time, the bonfire was in the process of being completed. Standing over 50 feet high, it was one of the tallest bonfires built in Howard Payne's history. It was organized by the Ladderman with Rob Kessler, Ladderman president, in charge. At 11:00 p.m. that night, its awesome flames lit up the night-time sky. 30 Pep Rally Parade Preparation By Linda Stanard Traditionally, the Homecoming floats are constructed at the National Re- serve barns located on the Brady Highway. During their free time, students visit the barns and work on their class or organiza- tion's float depicting that year's Homecom- ing theme. On Friday night curfew is ex- tended until 3 a.m. to allow students time to finish their floats.

A $500 cash prize was awarded to the Freshman Class float based on its original- ity, theme, and appearance. The Douglas Mac Arthur Academy of Freedom float entry earned the runnerup prize of $250. It's been a lot of hard work but we hope it will be worth it on Saturday, commented Laurie Majdecki, parade co-chairperson, in an interview with The Yellow Jacket held prior to Homecoming.

It is also a time of recognizing outstand- ing alumni and showing our appreciation for all they have accomplished since their days at Howard Payne. On Friday, October 14, the Distinguished Alumni Banquet was held and two distin- guished alumni were honored, as well as recognition to nine others with a medal of Receiving the award as distinguished alumni were Chris Liebrum of Dallas and Dale Gore of Denison.

The HPU drama department's version of the play was performed in Coggin Theatre, March 3-5, under the direction of Dr. Mac Groves. Kevin Redmon and Gina Hood played Tim Glenn, playing Demetrius, the suitor to Hermia, follows the pair. Helena, who is in love with Demetrius (played by Lisa Bottoms), joins the trio to create a chaotic chase through the woods. The plot be- comes more complicated when a menac- ing fairy Puck (played by Robert King), interacts with the couples by using spells and love potions.

This year students traveled throughout the United States and the world. Aside from those students traveling just for the fun of it, HPU also sent student mission represen- tatives within the United States and abroad. Approximately 35 students traveled to Wisconsin and Minnesota toministerwhile the group of students for Spanish Missions headed south to Mexico to spread the Good News. There was even a group sent to South Padre to have fun in the sun, witnessing along the Texas beaches. Everyone returned with many new sto- ries and experiences to share.

Jackets! The yell leaders, under the direction of Jenny Williams, are an essential part of our school, promoting spirit, unity and school pride. Because of this role, students must possess all of these qualities, plus an enormous amount of energy. We're required to be at all the home football games, and at the men's and women’s basketball games as well, said Laura Stephenson, a sophomore member of the squad. Beside the games, the squad prac- tices twice a week for two hours. It's demanding and a lot of work, stated Brad Vardeman, also a sophomore. I'd al- ways been interested in cheerleading be- cause I saw the athletic ability that it took and thought it would be a challenge. Because cheerleading is such a challenge, it takes dedication and teamwork within the group. According to Cyndi Fenton, a junior, such qualities are evident at HPU. Our squad was very unified and we got along The past year was really good as we learned not only the cheers, but how to work with people as well, said Vardeman. He added that he enjoyed leading cheers and considered it a God-given talent, one that he tries to perform to the best of his ability.

Though the Jackets had become the first TIAA team to win 20 games, the Texans were just too much. The three-game sweep spoiled the Jackets' first home series at their new baseball facility on the Brady Highway. After another three-game sweep, this time at the hands of Sul Ross, the Jackets came back to their new home complex and broke their 10-game losing streak with another sweep, including a forfeit, to Austin Col- hopes alive for a spot in the district playoffs. The Jackets, however, decided to make it as hard on themselves as possible. They got swept by conference champion Tarlcton State, and then lost a make-up game to Sul Ross. This meant that the Jackets would have to take two from Texas College in a double-header in order to make the playoffs. And they did just that. Individually several Jackets recorded fine seasons. Brent Berry, Mark Jones, Shane Ingram, Mike Rogers and Scott Westlund had the highest batting averages, for their positions, in the TIAA’s final statistics.
