W. FROH Director EDNA H. FROH Pianist ERTITH FRANKLIN Violin INA GILLILAND Voice $ The music department of this college is a complete school within itself. The conservatory, located in its own building, is one of the best and most convenient modern structure in Texas, devoted exclusively to music teaching. The ciass of 1916-17 has been one of the most successful in the history of the department. It consists of three sections: Juveniles, juniors, and seniors. The juveniles have both private and class lessons. The class lessons are both beneficial and enjoyable, by drills, songs, theory of music and class recitals. All sections are organized into the Determination Club, which meets once each week. The purpose of the club is to give each student a broader concep- tion of the art of music. The programs of these meetings consist of talks and papers pertaining to music and public performance. The departments of violin and voice have been added this season. The violin class has developed into an orchestra under the capable direction of Miss Ertith Franklin, and has proven both beneficial and entertaining. In addition to the student public recitals. the club has brought three artists to Stephenville. The Mendelssohn Sextette, October 5, 1916; Slm Lnsht bari- tone, December 6, 1916; and Silvio Scionti tsecond appenrancd February 3, 1917. This is the second year that the club has presented Concert Artists in recitals, and the course has been of value to students and music lovers. John Tarleton College is to come under the control of the State as an A. eh M. and Industrial College, and with this added strength, the Music Department should benefit music students of the future even more than the five hundred who have received partial and complete musical training in its studios. ---.

After searching thru dusty histories and mcth-eaten volumes for a suitable character the name of whom would do justice to so enthusiastic a band of merry girls; they found no one who was more worthy to be remembered and who held a dearer place in our hearts than Mrs. Molly J. Crow, whose generosity made possible the erection of John Tarleton's beautiful administration building. These girls have endeavored to carry forward the charitable work of this kind woman. Yet as an infant organization. the Molly Crows entered into the real Christ- mas spirit, and as a result many aged hearts were gladdened. Not only has the infiuence of these cheerful givers been felt at home but even the children in far away Belgium have not been forgotten. In years to' come when imthought of heights have been gained by them and their successors their hearts shall be filled with pride to think they helped found so noble an organization.

HAYS Our Coach Tarletou athletics owe much to Mr. Hays, which can easilv be seen from the results he obtainsi He not only teaches his boys to play clean ball but he trains them to be winners. He has every year since 1912 developed a winning team from practically new material. In foot ball this year his team not only won almost every game played with colleges of its class, but it won several victories over colleges ot a higher class. In base hall he has developed a team of whom Tarleton and the people of Stephenville can justly be proud.

He has for several years played in the back field, and is an excellent broken field runner as well as a hard hitter. We hope to have Steve with us again next year. FINleV, QUARTER HFinneyH made us a good end last year and a first Class quarter back this year. He is quick and every inch of a foot ball man. His place will be open to some good man next year; for we lose him by graduation. VVHITE, END HI-Iardie has held his place on our team for the last three years. He is a foot ball player in the true sense of the word; but we do not think we realize that so well as some of his opponents in ihe game. There will be a chance for some one to get his place next season; for he graduates and leaves us this year. ---- JOHN TARLETON COLLEGE VOL.II n AMXIUN liIVRNWHV ICLMH SHAFFHR DAY STONE Trkxnow, GUARD UJim has finished his third year with John Tarleton in foot ball. During these three years he has made a record that he and the school might well be proud of. Jim will probably be with us next season. SHAFFER, TACKLE Shack played this year with the old time grit and vigor of his preceding years with Tarleton. He is a man from head to foot and was always in the game. We are very glad to hear that Shack intends being with us next year. STONE, CENTER Day has for several years been a star on our team, always making a depend- able center. He is a man of good weight and can always be depended on to do his part. --' JOHN TARLETON COLLEGE VOL.IIj ODIF, SAVAGE CALVIN Kllil'IR JIM FINCIIER SAVAGE, FFLL'IEACK uOdie came in last year and made us a very valuable man as full-back. This year he came back stronger than ever, keeping his same position. Savage is noted for his line plunging. We expect him to he with us next year. KIKER. IIALF-BACK HRllstyl'came to us from McIlhany Academy, where he was considered one of their best players. He made much progress and bids fair to make John Tarleton a first class player next year. FINCHER, TACKLE HJim was one of our mainstays this season in spite of the fact that this is his first year in foot ball. He shows that he has all the necessary tight and pep. Fincher announces that he will be with us again next season. .Qf-ia ---' JOHN TARLETON COLLEGE VOL.II 1 F 3THEJ31$W FRASSBURRE LF, ROY RUQI'ICMURH RAYMOND FERGK'SUN FRANK HUDSPETH ROQUEMORE, CENTER 1 Many' came out last season for foot ball practice, and came out again this year and easily made his place on the team. He is not apt to make so many grand stand plays as some but he may well be called a steady, dependable man. He has one more year with us, and we feel sure that our team will be well fixed for a center next season. FERGI'SON, HALF HFergie is one that when he takes the ball a thrill of excitement is felt by every spectator, for we feel sure that if it isn't a long gain its a touchdown. Raymond is always on his toes and ready for the clash. He has one more year to help give Tarleton a winning team. Htmsma'rn, TACKLE Frankis lack of experience is all that keeps him from making a star, for he has the weight and the pep that it takes to make a foot ball player. He will be one of our mainstays next year. W JOHN TARLETON'COLLEGE VOL.IIjI RASS BRITTUN CLARENCE LHATHHRhVOUD REX MANUNHY BRITTON, END HRassh had his first appearance in foot ball this year. He made great pro- gress and development in that line. The prospects for him to be a first class player next year are very good because he has grit and speed, and takes a great interest in the game. LEATHERWOOD, mm HClarencei' is another man who has made his start in foot ball this year. He shows to have every quality of a good foot ball man. He is a hard worker and we expect him to make us a star player. MAHONEY, QUARTER HLittle Rex is the foot ball wonder of our school. In spite of his light weight and inexperience he has made for himself a place on the team and has done good work as quarter back. IE?

Cum KING This is Cleo's second year with us, and she is known as that swift little guard. She played running center a while; but, since we are scarce of guards, she plays there. Cleo will be back next year, and we are expecting great things of her. MAUDIE lVlCLAURY This is Maudiels first year in basket ball, but she is fast developing into a crack forward. She will be back next year and we are expecting her to strike with the same swiftness and faithfulness with Which she come out this year. BERNICE PARRIS Bernice comes to us from McIlhany Academy and has been with us Only one season. Her size and jumping ability easily won jumping center for her. She will be back strong next season, and around her and two others of this season's players, Tarleton expects to build her team. ALTA HUCKABEE Alta has been with us just one season. Her swiftness is accountable for her playing running center. With a little more experience Alta will make one of the best players Tarleton has had.

This year she was, without a doubt, the star of the club. Her position is for- ward,and out of the fifty-two balls goaled this season she has to her credit fortv- six. Ruth, we are glad to say, will be back with Tarleton another year, during which time great things are expected of her. LUNA BRIDGES Lona has been manager of the team for four years. During this time she has played forward. She does not make so many actual scores but her team work has helped the other forward make them. Lona has a head for basket ball , and the team next year will be crippled by her graduation. ARZORA JONES HBill has come out strong this year as a guard. Her faithful work last year was rewarded by making the team. All forwards on the opposing team dreaded her because of her Hstickability . We are lamenting the fact that she will not be in the game next year because she graduates. GRACE MAHONEY Grace came out this year more for her own good than for anything else. Her inexperience was what kept Grace from making the team. It is regretted that she will also leave Tarleton this year among the Hhonored few , and will not be here to take her place next season. W JOHN TARLETON COLLEGE VOL.II 1' History of Girls' Basket Ball The first real interest shown in basket ball in John Tarleton College was in 1911-12 when a team was developed that lost only one game during the season. This team under the direction of Mr. Froh held this record for four years. In 1912-13 they lost only one game, due to crossing of rules, that the girls had not been coached to play. In 1913-14, out of six games, the first team did not lose a one. In 1914915 they were not defeated. In 1915-16 only one game was lost. In 1916-17, on account of change in rules and team, the play- ers were not as strongly developed as we expect them to be next year. ---- JOHN TARLETON COLLEGE VOL.II 1 $EAVFHEJEXZ$QGRASSBURRQQ h?'--322:--' JOHN TARLETON COLLEGE VOL.IIj Htww- n e mi 93,, ' 5,5; n. 5 . , a 5.. w t A R if :a'XeYSWt WY fa: L , :: ,6 F ! gurbtzle ; rw ?.f .

Memories of my happy school days spent in Tarleton years before, When we wiped up every athlete who ever dared to venture o'er. Would we get snowed under in the battles that we gloated o'er? And my memory softly whispered. Hnever-nevermore. And I thought of Prexy Coxie, whom the students all adore, As a man whom we could honor and respect for evermore. I remember, oh, distinctly, in the chapel days of yore. How he'd beg the lazy students whold make ES and Fls Hso shore To be earnest. lively workers and make Bls and Als galore. But when he'd find the brilliant student, mercy me! how he would soar.- And weld almost lose our balance as he'd picture us our future, How if we would not cht classes and be busy evermore, We might some day be a Wilson, Ferg' or Coxie as of yore. But if we failed in these requirements weld succeedwoh, nevermore. He secured for Erath county this new Argicultural College, Where the boys who have ambitions may get such wondrous knowledge That they'll develop and expand, and so improve the Texas land That the Hweevil from our school goes to return-no, uevermore. Can we e'er forget our Prexy seeking for our future store? Forget him, can we students?- comes the echo, hnever, nevermore. Then I saw my model woman, who was busy evermore, Thinking. planning for her pupils. who will love her more and more. And well not forget the quizzes that she added as a token Of her joys that lay unspoken. to see us pass them nicely o'er; She has held up high ideals and has wished that we'd aspire To be prepared to meet the conflicts which other friends have met before; To be keen to meet our future and its mysteries explore. And we'd thus bring untold pleasure to HMiss Pearl for evermore. And my thoughts have led me on to dreams I'd often had before, Of the gentle, manly HFergie whom we long for evermore. The happy history man who talked Hgood study-halll' times oler and o'er. But we enjoyed his noisy pleadings to be silent when we entered That sacred sanctuary, Where they mastered problems by the score. W JOHN TARLETON COLLEGE VOL.II ll We have missed him in our struggles for the honors we desire. But we'll remember. oh, so clearly! one who helped us much too cheerily On the rough road we have traveled partly o'er, And a living, beaming image dwelleth with us evermore. Now the splendid Latin teacher I remember evermore As a lady whom we cherish for her puritv and store Of sweet and stately verses from the Hpoets that have gone before. She could lead 115 thru the battles that Caesar and Cicero gloated o'er, And we would feel the very presence of those soldiers we advre. Manv friends has Jewell XVatson in the students gone before; For she understood our natures and took pains to tide us o'er The black and muddled history of our fathers gone before. We love this noble woman, and what'er our future will ou' mr, We'll recall the sacrifices she made for us many, many times. o'er and o'er. . . Another maiden, I remember, it was in the black December. Heard the gentle steps of Cupid and his knocking at her door; And she listened to his pleadings to be an old maid nevermore; So she hiked to San Antonio and is Mistress Davis evermore. She worked to make her pupils speak like Cicero or Tagore. For she taught public speaking in the merry days of yore. She was mighty for athletics and helped to win us many a score By rooting on the side line and then weld losewoh, nevermore! But we did lose when we left her when our senior year was o'er, But her image still is with us and will he evermore. For this bride there was a bride-groom in those days of saintly yore, Who was good and kind and patient when we entered at his door. He showed us how to form Hsweet odors with the drugs he had in store, And if we failed to do his bidding we'd have an accident Hquite shore; Turnbow and Fergie did not believe itwbut will now, forevermore. Yes, we enjoyed our work in science and I have often gloated o'er The hours I spent in chemistry with Mr. Davis, years before. Could I ever in my dreaming of my school hours years before Forget. for even one minute, Mr. Hale. whom we all adore? A ruddy Irishman. whom the students that he worked before Love and honor and remember in our minds forevermore. As a mighty prodigy in mathematics, years before. He held the admiration of everyone he came before; For the pleasant, beaming countenance and the smile there, evennore. An influence has gone from him that helps us more and more JOHN TARLETON COLLEGE VOL.II ll To tight the harder, to be stronger, to pass our troubles lightly oler. Has he served us for no purpose, is his life worth nothing more Than an ordinary teacher that we have met so oft before? No: his life is stamped upon us tho' this life be passed before. His teaching lives forever and his memory we will cherish evennore. Last, not least in importance, in the joys that I passed o'er Is the master of athletics, who taught our boys to make a score, Not by ones nor twos nor zeros, but by dozens, sometimes more. Many times while on the sidelines. I was thrilled right to the core To watch our boys put one by 'em and hear him shout, Hanother score! Amateurs he made professionals, and all they came before Withered li' e green garden truck that had been left in heated store. He ranks i hi h in all the minds of all the boys he coached so well. And theyill :member in the future, in the battle they gloot oler That it's inhood they are after, tho' it cost them many a score. They'll be true to his teachings and in manhood they'll excel; And the girls will not forget him and his teasings years before. No; Tarleton valued all his eRorts in the merry days of yore. And we'll keep a warm fire burning for him now and evermore. Then I saw all kind of faces as I watched them seek their places As they were told to do. evennore; For I was seated at the piano in the chapel, as of yore, And the students all were sitting as they had been oft before; But the image faded from me and the tune was not of yore. But the town clock chimed to tell me it was morning-half past four, I had been dreaming of my school days, passed so quickly o'er, In that Erath County College that our state is raving o'er, And I can call them back, no never. except in dreaming as before. But I am glad that it is real. that I was here years before, And that I have a living image of these teachers, evermore. IE3 JOHN TARLETON COLLEGE VOL.II Jl The Student's Lesson ETHEL ROBERTSON I learn as the days roll onward And leave all the past behind, That much I have counted digging But proves that our teachers are kind; That the gates of success I have sought for Is unlocked by a kev called Duty; And that many a rugged byepath Leads to fields of wonderful beauty. The hblues do but cover the sunshine, They cannot banish the fun; And honor rings out the louder If the diHicult task is done. We must stand in the deepest shadow, To see the clearest light; And often from wrongls own darkness Comes the very strength of the light. We must study thru the weary winter If we would succeed in the spring, And our work must all be finished 'Iire the song of victlry we sing. Leamingls tree must be planted in darkness Before it can bud and bloom; So we reap our greatest merit As we pore o'er our books in our room. Then the student from sorest trials Gains the purest joy of all; From lips that have tasted misfortune Let the gayest words still fall. For us success comes after striving When only true worth is our aim; So after our study comes pleasure, And out of real work, true fame. JOHN TARLETON' COLLEGE VOL.II j Not Columbia but Tarleton BROOKS W. COPELAND Old Tarleton. dear Tarleton, to glory arise! The queen of our country, the pride of our eye. Thy Students stand by thee as ever of old; And day after day are new members enrolled. Thy teachers, the best and the noblest of time, Are ready to help with a patience sublime. Let the fame of the study hall follow thy name; And in freedom, and action, and work be thy fame. To be Seniors and rivals let others aspire, Be Hhoggish , and thereby cast all in the fire; While meek Agriculture we own as our aim; We wish to do good instead of gain fame. And better 'twould please us our names to record As leaders in Juniors, 0 grant it us. Lord! Than like a mushroom, sprung up in a night And withered and deadened by morning's clear light. Fair Science, her gates to thy sons shall unfold; And counties around thee are looking, were told, For students in hundreds to fill in their need As men who can do things and don't use the mead. And your bards and your sages unrivaled shall soar, To fame unextinguisbed. 'til time is no more. Here, grateful to Heaven with honors aligned They give to all nations the best of mankind. As thy students with courage thy power shall display Alike will thy patrons turn notice this why; Each high school its tribute to thee shall unfold And four winds of Heaven yield riches untold. As the north winds, unbridled, thy splendor shall flow, And every near county around thee shall strow The ensigns of victory, in triumph unfurled; While Tarleton does good, giving peace to the world. W JOHN TARLETON COLLEGE VOL.II 'Il Episode of Donnie and Leika PRELUDE Once upon a time there were two little girls. Donnie and Leika, and also a little boy named Fred. Now this little boy. Fred, owned a Ford, the pride of his life; and he was very fond of these two girls. When he had to go off to play ball he wanted to leave the Ford in good hands. So he very gallantly turn- ed it over to Donnie and Leika to use while he was away. and wished that they have a good time. So Donnie and Leika on pleasure bent, Took the Gordon road and away they went. Both were happy. bright, and gay As they sped along their way. Their little old Ford had been oiled and cleaned, And no mishap had they dreamed, When, goodness! what was that? 0! just a blowout; don't care a rat! Our Ford will keep rattling right along. So we'll just be happy and sing a song. But bye and bye it ran its race, And Donnie and Leika were pale in the face; When by chance there came a man Who offered to lend them a helping hand. And to Gordon they did get Just about when the sun was set. Good friends took them under their wings. But all night long did their consciences twinge. By the time the sun was up, And they had had a breakfast sup. Their little old Ford was out in rain, But they were saying unever again! So they homeward turned, XVhile their faces yet burned, Determined to be in time for chapel And each cheek was like an apple. Now, if you promise not to tell. VVelll say, Hallls well that ends well. -Anonymous. E-BaA---' JOHN TARLETON'COLLEGE VOL.IIjI Cupid Strikes the Faculty If the power is given me by grace The college romance I'll retrace; And to make things out as they really are The facts of the case I'll sligthly mar. Here is our hero, a stately man Who teaches sciencewthe best he can; And in the student room he blows Of all the science he dimly knows. As do all great men of fame . Our hero has a sure nickname; Some call him Davy-and thatls not bad, But say Sugar-foot, and Davy's mad. Just here in his dreary lifewiu her humble way Comes the Wing-footed heroine, Aleathea McKay. She also is a teacher, at leasts she claims. But to shine in Davy's eyes, were then her biggest aims. They met one day on the college campus ground, And Davy's eyes-well, they went round and round; His first clear thought was to turn and go But then her eyes seem to say. no. And then of the long days at the Dump When Davyis heart did heavy thump, Of the times when Davyls chalice seemed slim Or any way so it seemed to him. But love its web was sure to spin For Davy swore that he would not give in; And soon his tears seem to pay, And Wing-foot was in his sway. Yet of this Davy didn't know, And luck to him was ebbing low; But Davy swore that win or lose Held try at once, and herels the news. It was upon a mid-night fair A time when Dumpers are extremely rare, When Davy and VVing-foot in the Dump swing sat And talked of this and then of that. W JOHN TARLETON COLLEGE VOL.II J And now Davy, cram full of fear, Determined true to venture near; And then he-well he didn't fail, But some one said he looked ghastly pale. And then in the chapel the next school morn Davy made this announcement, all forlorn, UFellow college students, thru out my life Aleathea McKay is my lawful wife. Now the students don't know, but we've been told That married life can quickly grow old, So berets just a hint-Davy says make it a rule: Never get married till you're tbru teaching school. The Song of the Angels BY LILY PEARL CHAMBERLIN Above Judea's silent hills, Where shepherds watch by night, A shining host from Heaven appeared. In robes of glorious white. And to the listeners, who gazed In wonder rapt and still, They sweetly sang of peace on earth, And unto men good will. The song those angels chanted then Seems but a mockery now, When half the world, in fearful strife, Their deadly hate avowt But as the season draweth near, That brings His natal day, The hearts of men grow strangely kind, And love will have its way. The soldiers in the trenches then Are brothers with their foe, And friendly words from line to line Are passing to and fro. With stubborn pride the rulers chafe, And loose their dogs of war; But common hearts that hold no grudge, These dreadful scenes abhor. The song was true the angels sang, Though hate is dying slow; For peace on earth, good will to men, Is coming here below. --! ---- JOHN TARLETON COLLEGE VOL.Iljl Thru the Years MAE JACKSON A youth and a maid sat on the college steps watching the flaming sunset. They had been good friends and sweethearts throughout their senior years, just closing, and now they were facing the future. The boy was speaking: uSince I was a little boy, Marian, it has been the dream of my life to restore to its former proud beauty my old ancestral home and to see the broad acres that have grown more barren and sterile with every year again producing bountiful har- vest. And now I'm going back to wring success from those same gray, desolate old fields! And then, he added softly, uIlli come for you, little Marian; for the dream can never be perfect till you are the guardian presence at my fireside. But, Jim,'Y the girl protested with troubled eyes, uI can't. No! I tell you I will not have it! God has given me my voice, a wonderful instrument. I will make it perfect! There are hungering hearts in the world that I must sing to. HAnd what of mine, sweetheart? The girl only looked at him with pity. He could not understand-he did not know the compelling power of genius! And so they came to the parting of the way. while the crimson and gold died in the west. Autumn found Jim Edwards well begun in the task he had set himself. He terraced and drained, he worked and dreamed; for youth was buoyant. And Marian was studying in Chicago. But it was only a girlish whim, the man con- fidently told himself. However, the third spring brought to Jim Edwards a brief, friendly little note from Marion telling him that she was sailing on the next steamer for an in- definite stay in Europe. Then, indeed, did the man's faith in the future waver and his hope grow dim. It was spring again in the South, but not in Jim Edward's heart. His work had borne fruit and he saw about him the material realization of his dream. His home far surpassed any former splendor it had ever known, and his work in in- tensive farming had gone far beyond his early dreams. He had made an envi- able place for himself in the field of scientific agricultural experiments for his state. But there his success ended; he no longer hoped for the fulfillment of his fondest desire. All communication between himself and Marian had long since ended, but he knew that she, too. had been a faithful worker. And certaiulv, she had not misjudged her power. Marian Marstou, the HSongbird of the South, has sung herself into fame, and into the hearts of Europe and America, At last she was in her native state once more! It was with mingled emo- tions that Marian Marston sang in the city of her childhood. And she sang as perhaps she had never sung before. And when the people called repeatedly for W JOHN TARLETON COLLEGE VOL.II u her and would not let her go, with the thought of Jim Edward in her heart, she sang that old song, HDo They Miss at Home? in a voice that touched tender chords of memory in every heart. V In her dressingeroom a note was handed her. HO, Songbird of the South! I have heard you sing and my heart is too full of joyeand pain-to meet you tonight. When the sun sets again, will you meet me in the old trystinz place? 0, Marian, don't fail me. The west was ablaze with the suu-set splendor when Jim Edward, the cold man of science, rose from the College steps to meet the radiant woman who came to him. With clasped bands they looked long into each other's eyes. Time had left its imprint upon them both. Life had saddened the womauis eyes and set its seal upon her lips, while the lines that set in steruness in the manls face and the graying hair at his temples told that life had not been all joy with him. Under a glowing sky. there in the old trysting place at the feet of their Alma Mater, they went back over the years since that spring evening when last they had sat there. It was the woman that spoke: Life has been good to us, Jim Edward. It has given us useful work and brought us realization of our ideals and fulfillment of our dreams. HAnd is yours so perfect, then? Mine-you know, Marian, what is lacking to its perfection. It was the old Marian of the mischievous eyes who softly answered. Ask and it shall be given. HMarian! can you mean it? And you will give up the plaudits of the world for my fireside? HO, Iim Edward, Jim Edward, yes! I have sung to the world; now I'm ready to sing to you. And the shining gold of the western sky bathed them in them light of its benediction. The Senior's Psalm BY EDITH STEPHEN Logic is my nightmare; Pm sure to flunk. It maketh me to sleep little and eat less; it leadeth me to the President. It causeth me anger; it urgeth me down my rugged path for a diplomals sake. Yea, tho I cease treading its unknown paths in the future, it still will haunt me; for it is with me; its rules and its canons they torture me. It prepareth a gloomy puzzle wherever I go; it anointest my head with syllogisms; my brain runneth over. Surely misery and failure shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the insane hereafter. ---- JOHN TARLETON COLLEGE VOL.II CALENDAR September 5. School opens.
