Class History, 1920 The history of the class of 1920 began, we know not when, and if we did, we would not care to tell it all. But we will say that twenty-six bright , Seniors met in room iv on the twenty-eighth day of September to elect officers and plan some scheme by which all of us might learn the com- g bination to the diploma safe. E s .1 5 Our omcers have proven that the class knew whom to select to fill E the different oilices, and all appreciate the way in which they fulfilled E their duties. Only two of our number entered the College in their Freshman year: Nora Lee Wakefield and J. C. Mart. The majority of the class entered as Juniors, coming from Stephenville High and other high schools of this vicinity. Little did they realize on the day they entered, what terrors they were to meet and overcome before their day of triumph, graduation. It would be imposisble to give the space for an account of the many things which the members of this class have accomplished in the past years. tHowever, very few things can be mentioned which we have not donel so we will here give an account of some of the most important things which have taken place during our Senior Year. The success of the College paper, the J. TAC during this, its first year, is largely due to the members of the Senior Class. The editor, busi- ness manager, and two of the associate editors of the J . TAC staff, belong to the class of 1920. We have also furnished several good reporters. The . committee which selected the name for the paper chose the name turned 1 in by Johnnie Winters. We trust that the students of the future classes : will uphold the standards of this paper which we have named and started on its upward climb. .m- mummm-nm....m...xu.nmumm-nm-m.m-mu.x-..m-m.v.y.m-... The socials and entertainments of this year were all planned definitely beforehand, and therefore, proved very successful. The social committee worked under the direction and supervision of Miss Elizabeth Brown, the Senior adviser. Miss Brown 'was always ready to aid us in every way, as a class, and as individuals. She took an interest in all our plans for the present and for the future. Each member of the class became personally . acquainted with Miss Brown as she entertained all, two at a time, with a 3 tea in her omce. After these teas many went away knowing that they would always have one friend in the world. We considered it a privilege to have Miss Brown to go to with all our troubles and joys and we u.....u..v..m-..w.m-m..uu -. : here wish to thank her for her untiring aid and advice, and her lasting ; 5 friendship. g The Dean and Mrs. Davis entertained the class in their home with a g Valentine party. We spent a delightful evening there, and many still have i their Valentines written by the Seniors which, I'm sure would hold the highest places if the judgment of the poets were given. Anothervenjoy- able party of Cupids and Hearts was given at the home of Lucy Lee Young. It is not the privilege of every class to have a Leap Year party. The Class of 1920 had a Leap Year party which was quite a success. The young ladies enjoyed showing the young gentlemen just how nice an escort could be, and tne young gentlemen had never realized before just how nice it was to receive fiowers and candy, and have a real date. The last days of school are always, to the Seniors, the sweetest and the best; the shortest, and yet the longest to be remembered. For the first time in the history of the school the Seniors were granted a time just before Commencement, known as Senior Week, which time was spent with class affairs. This is in part the program for the last week: Tuesday night ................................... Recital Wednesday night .................. Juniorsi entertainment Thursday night ........ J apanese party given by Miss Brown Friday morning .............. Sun-rise breakfast and swim Saturday night .............................. Senior play Sunday morning ........................... Baccalaureate Monday night ................... Commencement exercises The Class of 1920 goes through the College doors for the last time but not without leaving behind a permanent memorial, America's Creed, inscribed on a tablet of bronze. We think it worthy of a place of honor upon the library walls, and we hope that it will be a factor in furthering the principles of democracy, for which John Tarleton stands. Senior Poem As on we travel our rocky road, Against the boulders heaving, We turn to those with the load, The Seniors of tomorrow evening. We regret to part from all we love, From all the ties that bind us; So our hearts are turned, as on we go, To the J uniors and Sophomores behind us. When by thoughts of vanished years, We talk with joyous seeminge With smiles that might as well be tears, So true, so tender their meaning; While memory brings us back again, Each College day that binds us. Oh, sweet's the cup that circles then, The J uniors and Sophomores behind us. And when, in other Colleges, we meet Some Tarleton classmates dear, Where all life is real, and sweet, And naught but love is there; We think of how great could be our bliss, If all our chums werewith usL To live and die in peace like this, With thevJunioxa and Sophomores behindus. As the Seniors of '20 look back at eve; When older they are growing To gaze upon the light they leave, Still faintly behind them glowinge So, when the close of College days, To gloom hath neler consigned us, We turn to catch one gleaming ray, Of the Juniors and Sophomores behind us. A. M. T. CLASS PROPHECY Stephenville, Texas, July 14, 1920. Dear Myrtle: . I was very much surprised to learn of your starting so soon on your career of Domestic Science. Of course I had heard you talk so much of it, but wasn't expecting it so quickly. As to the other members of the class, I donlt know anything specific of any of them with the exception of Florence. She has decided to become an author. Her first book is to be a novel. She hasnlt worked out the plot completely yet, however, it Will involve great lawyers, doctors, preachers, and; men and women prominent in every profession of life. She has a theory that the characters in books should be real men and women and as she knows her classmates better than any others she has decided to use them. The heroine of the story is a young lady of exceptionally good charac- teristics and attractive manners. She has chosen for this place Miss Martha Read. Of course there must be admirers of this young lady and among the most important are Messieurs Riley Yarborough and Dewey Davis. A political campaign is raging and two of the main persons here are Mr. Clinton Burnett, a prominent statesman of New York, and opposing him is Miss Nora Lee Wakefield, a suffragette of high standing from Wyoming. These must be ably supported by strong speakers and we find such people as Mr. Ivan Freeman and Miss Merlyn Yarborough favor- ing Mr. Burnett, and others such as Miss Louise Pannill and Mr. Jesse L. Parker supporting Miss Wakefield. Then there is always some matrimonial plot connected with every story and this is no exception. We find in this part a young lady, accom- plished in every respectewit. beauty, and gracefulness all combined to make her perfect. Miss Alma Yarborough was selected for this place and her fiance, a young man camoufiaged in every respect, is Mr. Otis Ferguson. They plan to have the ceremony performed at The Little Ch umh Around the Corner and of course the minister is the Rev. Dryden Harlow. Miss Mary Sypert Clark, a professional in concert work, is to play the wedding march, and Miss Twala Clifton will Sing. K number of characters play a prominent part in the opera troupe. Mr. J . C. Mart is the very efficient manager, and his cast of characters is as follows: Mr. John Winters pKYS the leading role with Miss Lucy Lee Young as the lady star. Miss Mildred Martin is the Theda Barn of the play and Miss Rachael Jones is the world famous ballet dancer. A great social reformer and ako-an eminent speaker is Mr. Joe Snow. His wonder- f;1l lectures are to be compiled in a book to be used in Public Speaking c asses. The scene of the story is laid in a thriving city of the middle West. Here we find our old friend Barton Lawson, a prominent banker, who takes a leading part in everything that tends toward upbuilding the city. His eificient stenographer is Miss Blanche Clark. T course no book can be complete without true illustrations. The author has chosen for this place a talented young man: Mr. Albert Tate, who received his training in Miss Brownis Zoology Class. I'm sure. Thus ends my wearisome epistle on the Class of 1920 of J. T. A. C. PAULINE DAVIS. CLASS SONG Dear old Tarleton, we're leaving thee, Tis the close of our youthful day. But, dear old Tarleton, Thy sons shall love and cherish thee alway. The memory of our college days, Those carefree days of yore, Shall e'er abide with thy faithful sons. Tho' we roam the whole world o'er. Farewell to thee, dear Alma Mater, Farewell and hail to thee! Farewell to thee, dear Alma Mater, Farewell and hail to thee! $1. GRASSBURR .5313; ........ ., ....... . ....................... i .1 Class Will Myrtle Lane The State of Texas, County of Erath, College of Tarleton. We, the Senior Class of 1920, of said County, State, and College, being of sound and disposing mind and memory and contemplating the uncertain- ty of college life do make, declare and publish this our last will and testa- ment, revoking all others heretofore made. Item 1: T0 Dean Thomas J. Davis, because of his very pressing need for it, we Will a pony with which to translate his Filipino letters. Item 2: To the class of 1921, because we deem them in every way worthy of it and because it is all we have to give. we leave oun title of Seniors, our space on the bulletin board, our chairs in the library and study hall, our seats in chapel, and our eternal good will and best wishes. Item 3: To Miss Zelda Tubbs so that Mr Smith won't feel the loss so keenly, we bequeath Florence Sheehan's ability to tell Fairy Stories in Senior English. Item 4: To Ernest Fletcher. because of his ever present need of them, we do give and bequeath, without obligation or condition, Rachael Jonesis various and sundry hair nets. Item 5: To Miss Leaffa Randall, knowing her decided preference for white, and her pressing need for some one to run her errand, and believing that this will prove an inducement to said party of second part, we give Captain Ferguson's white uniform. Item 6: To Lieutenant Vernon Azdams. because he has shown a decided trend in this direction. we gladly bestow Johnnie Winters' regard and devotion to under classme . notably the Freshman class of this year and as especially concerns Senior picnics. Item 7: To Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt-to-be, we give our heartiest con- gratulations and good wishes for their journey through life together. Item 8: If he will in all sincerity. accept and make use of it, especially in his capacity of yell leader, we do hereby, bestow and confer upon one Homan Biggers, Lucy Lee Young's knowledge of first year Latin, with the condition aforesaid. Item 9: To Miss Veda Marr, we solemnly will and decree Mildred Martin's great talent ana success as a comedienne in Mr. Smithls Senior English class. Item 10: To Miss Maurine Hale, because it will save her much time, labor, and expense, we give Albert Tate's secret of permanent red lips that wont rub off. Item 11: Upon the ones proving- most worthy and deserving of these honors, we bestow the official position of President Burnett of the Senior Class: of Captains Marr and Ferguson of the Cadet Corps, and President and Secretary Davis and Clark of the Y. W. C. A., and Editor Lawson and Manager Yarborough of the J . Tac. Item 12: Because of Hortense Ross' growing love and respect for horticulture, we give and bequeath to her Miss Brown's window box which is located outside her oiliee, Item 13: To Vernon Montgomery we leave Dewey Davis' great suc- cess and reputation as a star in musical com y. Item 14: Believing that it will be an invaluable asset and ever pres- ent help in trouble, to Miss 119. Myers, we hereby give and bequeath Merlin Yarliorough's influence and good standing with the Matron of the dormitory. Item 15: To Miss Hazlewood Ferguson, knowing that it will prove a gleat aid in meeting 8 o'clock classes, we leave Dryden Harlowts Ford Super-six. Item 16: To whoever should happen to get it, we will Alma and Twalals room in the dormitory. It has been a good room and has faith- fully served said owners for the past four years and, feeling a tender spot m our hearts for it, we ask that said party of the first part care for it with greatest diligence. Item 17: With a view to future happenings, upon Miss Kathryne Hassell, we bestow and confer Blanche Clark's increasing respect and growing admiration for commissioned oflicers. Item 18: To Miss Gladys Mitchell to be used especially in the Dramatic Club, we bequeath Nora Lee Wakefield's unfailing good humor and kindness of heart. Item 19: Because they are quitting the ranks and going back to civilian life, to some merited aspirant, we leave Snow and Freeman's place in the Cadet Corps. Item 20: Upon Mr. Jake Robertson, to use in his wonderful speeches, and because we think the present owners have used it long enough, we :tonfer Martha Read and Louise Pannillls guaranteed and everlasting giggle. As we approach the end and realize more clearly the swiftness of Lime and the uncertainty of Senior life, we wish to give a word of farewell advice to other classes who shall follow in our footsteps so that they may profit by our mistakes. It is: never hunt for Senior privileges. They do not exist. Now that we have rid ourselves of the burden of our material posses- sions, with a sound mind, and heart touched with sadness and forewell, we hereby bring this document to a close. In Witness Whereof, we have hereunto set our hands this the 31st day of May 1920, in the presence of Neal Gearreald and Elizabeth B. Brown. Signed, executed, declared and published in the presence of the follow- ing persons, to-wit: NEAL GEARREALD. ELIZABETH B. BROWN. Annmr X!!!

Fay Lockhart Hortense Ross Frank Stockton Rex Rogers Bonnie Patterson Ralph Robinson Zelda Tubbs Lyle Harris Billie Ruth Poe Marguerite Carlton Claude Kay Claude Tate URuth Johnson Johnnie Long Conrad Lanning Juniors The first meeting of the class of '21 brought a great host of energetic and enthus- iastic juniors. Last year some had been seniors at the various high schools; a few had been doughboys, but the most had been good old plodding sophs. With our many and different ideas, we expected to have a famous and snappy class. Note the result: Many oflicers of the J. Tac staff, of the Annual staff, and of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet were chosen from among us. Our star foot- ball, basketball players are in numerals and what would the glee clubs do without the Juniors? We have written thirty English themes and still smile; read seven hundred pages in history and know nothing; and have worked lomz trig problems with much thinking. We now consider ourselves pre- pared to enter a dignified and arrognant senior life next September . u-l-X-xu'luaxuu-lvl-I-IInld-lu'l-x'l-l-x-nx- mumpm WHAT WE THINK It is the Juinor Class that con- stitutes the bud of the college flower. The ttFiish may choose to be called the roots of such Hower and thereby have the glory of the responsibility of its life, but they are found under the very crust of ignorance. So too, the Sophomom may boast of the sturdy branches that give grace to the entire struc- turkbut how bare without a sign of life. And again, how sickening- to see the Seniors gloat over their boundless store! Even forgetting that after the thrill of graduation they are to begin anew and admit to their weaknesses.

The Sophomores gets none of the leniency shown the perky young Fish, because he is supposed to know better, and he gets none of the privileges shown the Junior and Senior because he is not supposed to know as much. This is rather an unenviable position to hold, but in the history of every college there comes a year when the Sophomore class, because of its superior quality, its marked ability, changes the common rule and becomes the best in college, and J. T. A. C. has at last reached that period. Our college holds the football and basketball champonship of the J unor colleges of the state and we have fine prospects of getting the base- ball championship. Who is responsible for these high honors? The Sopho- rrores. Who furnished the president of the Students Council? The Sophomores. Who furnished the biggest half of our famous quartet? The Sophomores. Prove it did you say? We have only to mention the magic names: Monty, the famous Hudspeth brothers, Frank and Roy, Little Al, Finky, Abelard, and our hard-wotking baseball manager, Wayne Chandler. In addition to these high honors we have contributed no small part to the social life of the college. Consider the social charms of Malcolm, Hazel, Ruth, Eula, Pearl and others, and we point with pride to the manly beauty of Carey, Lewis, Raymond, Jack, and last but not least, Strawberry. In fact, We would not be a Freshman, they are so very green, We would not be a Senior, they have to be so keen, We would not be a J unior, their near-greatness is such a bore We just want to be, the best of all a Comfy Sophomore. o w.

The jolly bunch of Freshmen crowded together and arranged for the election of their officers. Mr. Hale acted as temporary chairman. Homan Biggers received the largest number of votes for president and took the chair. Beryl Burnett was elected sec- retary and Texas Bates historian. The following were appointed to serve as an entertainment committee: Miss Pearl Mahan, Rayford Mims, Wessie Gray, Lucy King, and Joe Lattimore. Joe Lattimore was appointed Freshman representative on the J . TAC staff ; also, Miss Mahan was elected adviser of the class and Mr. Hale was elected honorary member. At a meeting held February 4th, Dow Murray was elected historian to succeed Texas Bates, who had withdrawn; and Rayford Mims was elected vice- president of the class. There have been some great happenings of the Freshman class. The kodak party held on February 1, was grand. I think we will always remem- ber the nervousness of the girls and Miss Mahan while crossing the rail- road bridge. Many group pictures were taken that afternoon. Do you fish remember our Valentine party at Marguerite Lanning's home? The rooms were beautifully decorated with hearts and cupids. I am sure you remember the games we played and our refreshments. I am sure Clinton Adams and Dow Murray remembers clearly the box of candy they received for being- successful in turning over the greatest number of hearts. We are a. very important class. Just ask any one. Sometimes we hear a Senior say from the chimney corner, I wish we were so well united as that bunch of fish. The Freshmen all have high ideals and one never looks as if he Were ready to wither away, but holds his head high and strives to make a man or woman that the world will not be ashamed of, and in the future you will hear that person say, HI got my training when a Freshman at J. T. A. C. in 1920. Rena Pair Beatrice Gibbs Dovie Smith Kitty Harris Ethel Busby ; unx-l-nnx-r-luvn . m.- mmu-mumnummnm-mmm.

WKC. organized late in the fall with the double purpose of in- creasing the feeling of sister-hood among the girls of the college and of insuring sufficient and varied entertainment. The religious side of the work has found expression in the devotional meetings, at one of which the association was fortunate enough to have Miss Margaret Hutchinson, a district field secretary. Miss Hutchinson remained at the college two days and was a source of much inspiration to the girls. Among other things the girls who wear the blue triangle pins have done; are the planting of hower beds, the furnishing of a rest room and making of posters to be used in teaching the Mexican women in Texas to read English. Many good times will remain in the memory of the girls of the Y Bunch not the least of which are the ttLucky party, the Weiner roast, the Leap Year hike and the ttTheatre line parties. 9 G RASSB u RR . 53L. pm.-mm-mmm. mum .mmnnu-mumm... mm: mm ?:nzwnmay . :gmummmgm ry u;n gagging: ; a Y.

J., and Mr. Funkhouser, tin- structort built. The building was started about the middle of last October and com- pleted the following February. It has been pronounced by a number of carpenters as one of the best built houses of the bungalow type in Stephenville. The wood-shop boys have turned out some interesting work, including two full-sized victrolas, a grandfather clock, a davenport, a number of library tables and chairs, and a thousand and one other things. All machines in the shop are now run by electricity. MECHANICAL DRAWING .1 map Eli?

SERVATORY MARSTON MUSIC CON Fine Arts Department Under the direction of Mr. Froh, Director of Fine Arts and Professor of Piano and Theory, the Department of Fine Arts has made and shown more progress this year than in any previous one. The department of music began with a private class ten years ago and has developed into a real conservatory with a well organized and complete course of study. Mr. Froh makes this his tenth year of consecutive service with the institution. H. Andre Schmidt, Instructor of Voice, Harmony, and Director of the Glee Clubs, is a new teacher from Chicago. His work in the faculty recitals, his energetic method of securing results has endeared him to his students and to all with whom he has come in contact. Mrs. Ertith Richardson, Instructor of Violin and Director of the College Orchestra has been with the institution four years. Her own ability and the influence of her orchestra has been felt by all those who have had the pleasure of enjoying the programs rendered under her direction. Miss Fain Naylor, Instructor of Piano in the Fine Arts Department has been connected with the conservatory for six years as student-and teacher. She is a graduate of one of the largest and strongest conser- vatories in the United StateFBush Conservatory of Chicago, Ill: Miss Minn Ferguson, Assistant Instructor of Piano in the Fine Arts Department, is a graduate of John Tarleton College of Music, 1915. As student and teacher she has been connected with the conservatory for a number of years. She is assistant teacher to Mr. Froh's pupils, and trains and develops the younger members of his class. In addition to her teaching, she acts as secretary to the Fine Arts Department. Mr. J. A. Ault of Fort Worth, Texas, who gave such splendid service in organizing and developing the College Band last spring, has been with the College again this year teaching brass and wood wind instruments and directing the band. Miss Bessye E. Cowden, Teacher of Art, has shown unusual ability although this is her first year here. There are courses in drawing, pencil and charcoal ; painting, watercolor, oil tapestry and China. The Studio, Student, Faculty, Orchestra and Glee Club recitals have stood out more prominently than ever this year. They have been a source of much interest and entertainment to both the College and the public and both have supported them enthusiastically. The Theory, Harmony and History Classes must not be omitted. They have worked hard and understand thoroughly the ground which they have covered. The opening concert of the Menls Glee Club was given at the College Auditorium on February twentieth under the direction of Mr. H. Andre Schmidt. It was a splendid success. The program was varied enough to hold the interest of every one, since it consisted of enjoyable quartettes, a reading, and a humorous sketch besides the numbers by the club. The program from a musical standpoint showed splendid finish as well as wholesome fun and frolic. This is the first year that the Menis Glee Club has made any extended trips. The Glee Club gave programs at Dublin, Brownwood, De Leon and Ranger the first trip. The second one, the towns of Cisco, Stamford, Wichita Falls and Haskell enjoyed the numbers of the Glee Club. At all of the towns the men were welcomed heartily and were treated royally. The people and the papers were loud in their praise of the Glee Clubs. It is the best that Tarleton has ever had and one of the best in the state. The Girl's Glee Club and the College Orchestra gave their opening concert on March nineteenth in the College Auditorium. The College not only has a good young menls glee club, but the young ladies are equal to the best. The program was highly entertaining from start to finish. Our orchestra is also a great credit to the College, for Mrs. Richardson has shown wonderful ability as director of it. The Orchestra and the Girls Glee Club made a trip to Hico where they rendered their program and where they received much praise. The Glee Club has made trips also to some of the small towns near Stephenville. The College was very fortunate this year in securing talented numbers for the Lyceum course and they were a rare treat for the student body. The numbers and their dates were as follows: Jan. 31, The Fighting Yanks, a male quartette. Feb. 5, Bertha Farrier Company, concert artist. March 10, Dr. Lincoln McConnell, lecturer. March 27, Paul Van Katwijk, pianist. The Lyceum course was supported so well by the students, faculty, and citizens, that the committee will be encouraged to place a larger and if possible, a stronger course for the next season.

Hays has spent seven years as Athletic Director at Tarleton. Every team he has put out has won a majority of their games, he always has fighting football and basketball teams, and his baseball team plays for State championship or nothing. They have succeeded twice in the last three years and stand a good chance this season. Mr. Hays is respected by all who know him and the boys who play under him feel an undying attachment to him because of his clean, honest principles and the friendly and re- spectful manner in which he coaches them. FOOTBALL SQUAD A. B. Hays ........................ Coach Vernon Adams .................... Captain Carl Colwick ..................... Manager uChief Winters ............. Captain-Elect Colwick Martin Montgomery Tate, P. Lanning Britton Rogers Hudspeth Adams Savage Marr Burnett Kay Winters Williams Amonett Hays Bassel Tate, C. Baughn Russel PRESTON TATE HTatty. This is the second year Tate has played center for us. He has the fight in him that is hard to stop. We hope he will be back next year. VERNON ADAMS Bunt Adams has been with us three years, he made as good a full back as Tarleton has ever had, and as captain of the eleven led them to Junior College championship this year. He will be back next year. NORMAN MARTIN 'iFinkey is one of our best guards this year. This is his tirst year on the team but to see him brake the line and run interference you would think he an experienced man. He will be back next year and we expect him to be stronger than ever. ROY HUDSPETH uRoy is a man from head to foot. He hits them hard and steady from the beginning to the end of the game. He is a tackle that Tarleton is proud to have. This is his second year with us and we hope to have him with us again next season. ODIE SAVA LE Uncle Odie is an old Tarleton player. He was here in 15 and also in ,16. He came back this year and with his cool head and experience in football made one of our strongest men. We hope to see him in the line next year for his skill in breaking up interference is unsurpassable. CALVIN WINTERS iiWhiteheadedh Calvin come to us from the high school and made a powerful guard. With his giant strength he could open a hole in every line and his hard tackling made his opponents take notice of him early in the game. He will make us a better man next year. myalussauna FRANK HUDSPETH Red Hudspeth, iiSea Horse, is a giant that plays a hard game anywhere he is placed. He is a demon in the line and at full back he is just a human ram. Red said his football days were over when he was taken out of the Simmons game with a bad ankle after stopping their 229 pound full back for three quarters, but now he hopes to play a harder and better game during the coming season. CONRAD LANNING HDoc has had lots of experience in foot ball and has made us one 0f the best quarter backs in the State. You can always depend on him while in a tight for he uses good head work. This is his third year with us and we will be glad to see him back next season. VERN MONTGOMERY Monty is another back field man. He has played on our team two years before. Monty is full of grit and vigor and when he gets the ball he is hard to stop, for he is fast on foot and an excellent field runner. He has one more year with us before he graduates. REX ROGERS Rex is a three-year man but played more this year than the other two combined. At left half he could circle the ends for good gains, and when it came to running interference no man could take him out. He was out the latter part of the season on account of a broken collar bone, but will come back next year with experience and determination. J ACK BASSEL Jack made us a valuable man last year as center. This year he came back stronger than ever, keeping his same position. He is full of pep and is always ready to fight the largest, even if he is small. We expect him to be a star player next season. JOHNNIE WINTERS Johnnie has held his place on the eleven for two years. He is a man that always plays his part of the game and makes his opponent realize that he is a fast man. We are sorry we will lose him this year for he graduates. CALVIN WINTERS ttChief Winters, captain-elect, played a wonderful game at end this year. Our opponents always found that it took more interference than they could afford to run a play around his end. He is a real football enthusiast and hopes to captain one of the best State teams next year. HOWARD RUSSEL HPie Russel played his first season of real football at tackle and guard, at either place he was hard to handle. He delighted in breaking through the opponents line and tackling them for a loss, or sitting down on a man who had tried to dump Hm, but he was at a loss when he received a few bumps on his head which so mixed his gray matter that he could not tell the doctor his name. We hone to see him on the line next year. CLAUDE TATE ttClaude Tate is a small man but he makes his opponents think he is large; for he is as hard as a brick. He has played end for two years and he said he was coming back strong next season. CLINTON BURNETT Clinton is the kind that works hard and is all the time in the fight. He has grit and speed, which he showed in the Simmons game. This is his second year with us but we will lose him this year for he graduates. CLAUDE KAY Claude is just a youngster but is a stayer and a fighter. This is the second season he has worked for a position on the team and he says that he will work harder next season. His youth and lack of experience has kept him off the team. but if the season had not closed after the game with Grubbs, his display of line hitting and broken field running would have placed him among the regulars. J. C. MARR, Jr. J. C. played right half this year. This being his fourth year. He has been a valuable man and we hate to lose him. He has the best wishes of the team wherever he goes next season.

President Butler made the statement that The chief reason for the descrepancy between the ideal and the real is simple ignorance. Thus for example the great hindrance to scientific agriculture is the fact that so few men know these scientific principles. If they all knew all that the scientists know the productivity of the land, would immediately increase many fold. But discovery cannot very far outrun application and the application of knowledge is the most fruitful incentive to true discovery. Social progress then depends upon bringing art science and the technique of industry up to the level of human nature so as to satisfy ever more fully the inherent and perrenial needs of life. ,' With this in mind the College aims at least to give enough science to enable every one to have an intelligent interest in his environment, to make him respect the systematic advance of progress, and to utilize the servicesrof the scientists. Sufficient foreign languages is given to enable one to speak and to read them and to furnish a background which enables one to more easily handle English. The ability to speak and understand foreign languages is becoming more indespensable to men and women of world views. Enough mathematics is taught, not only to give one the fundamentals, but to stimulate pupils to observe the definite procedure of reasoning, and to furnish the essentials to the study of sciences and the application of these in forms of engineering. Agriculture, Engineering, Industrial Arts, Home Economics, Business Administration and Music are taught to enable those who finish these courses to be technically skillful and economically efficient in the larger social sense and in the long run in an individual sense. Enough History is taught to enable one to join the historic past in vital union with the present. English is taught to give the student the power of self expression, or the power of one mind to communicate its own thought to other minds. Thus, after the individuals own original contribution he has made to society, he can communicate that unique product to his fellows and to posterity. The excellency of the college rests on the wide range and richness of the curricular. The belief in the omnipotence of education is a superstition inherited from the 19th century. Education does not necessarily transform but rather perfects, Perhaps we strike closest to the heart of the whole matter when we consider how much latent talent lies undeveloped in human nature. Making allowance for graduations of mentality are there any good bilogical reasons for assuming that creative intelligence or even genius is the rare exception. We run a magnate over our schools, if iron adheres to it well and good; the residue we discard. In this way we waste silver, gold, diamonds and who knows what rare untried metals. Schools must learn to assay human ore more systematically. Our college wishes to expose the young men and women of this section to varied phases of culture. If one young man is immune to music he may take plant breeding if any other does not respond to literature he may build a sky scraper or inspire the world with a new missionary idea. 1yenius breaks out at the most unexpected spots. The most unpromising boy may suddenly present the world with the rarest sort of achievement which parents or teachers had ever thought of asking him to promise. But one whom God has tuned to a given note will not vibrate unless something in his social environment gives forth that tune! Hence there is the evident necessity of a wide curricular sounding the various notes of civilization in the hearing of our youth. Possibly the greatest tragedy is the blank silence of the soul whom fate has not struck and made ring! A second excellency lies in the fact that our courses tit students for doing things that are connected up with the problem solving difficulties of the race. Since work is inspired by this fundamentally interesting motive, it is done with a serious purpose and in an effective manner. Intellectual work that does not spring from bribes of diplomas, grades and dread of exami- nation is always of a superior order. The students are arouesd to the necessity of self improvement and are determined to do all that is possible which is of paramount importance. YES, I WOULD If I were a maiden, Or maid of somber years, Pd keep up with the fashions, In spite of doubts and fears, And with the very latest modes, Pd try to harmonize; If I had to change my views cf life, My color, shape and size. If heels for shoes eight inches high, Dame fashion should ordain, Ild wear them if they wrecked my spine, 01' made me yelp with pain. I'd move my waistline up or down, Wherever it would please; Right jam beneath my armpits, 0r halfway to my knees. Ild have my skirts trail on the ound, If that's the way ltwere done; But it wouldnlt worry me at all, If they were almost none. But Halt! Hold on! Here's where I stop! I never would put on, One of those ghastly garments, Some thoughtless folks put on, T mav be wild and giddy, But I will not be seen, I garb of blistering azure, 0r eek of poison green; And worst of all the shrinking pink, Before Ild wear that hue, Pd doom myself forever, To pale and watery blue. TRANSITION The Spirit Land lies near our own; We know not where their boun- daries meet,- Our eyes its limits we may not see; But some day will our wandering feet Unconscious oler the margin stray, And standing mute with sweet surprise The. truth will dawn upon our souls hat we have entered Paradise. -Mrs. W. Chamberlin. BEYOND DISCUSSION The other day when I went home, The train was slower than a glacier, I lost my temper and religion, The air turned purple when I said, e-But we won,t discuss that.

Matched. Dispatched. HALE HALL HAPPENINGS Dingler says he once was uso fond of cheese. The ubunch had an interesting get-together in stall five last night. The Commandant was the speaker of the occasion. Lyman Batton, alias Tom Thumb, alias Long Distance was acquitted last week in court. After a long drawnout battle of wits between Attorney Lattimore and Counsel Dingler, J udge Scott threw the case out of court. The findings were based on the innocent bearing of the prisoner at the bar. Wontt somebody keep that mule in stall nine from braying so much. He wakes us all up every morning. A general coal strike was ex- perienced last Monday night be- tween the hours of seven and eight. The strikers were a vicious lot, how- ever little damage was done. This trifling damage was due to a lumn 4' coal going through a panel of a door. No one injured. Govern- ment oHicials have investivated the affair and relieve our minds con- cerning the possibility of another. STARVATION? On the night of February 3rd, some unknown person who had evi- dently been misinformed went to the dormoritory in search of food. Being unable to find it he 1aid down on the table to recupe- rate. He was so weak that he could not leave the table, so he starved to death. The next morn- ing when the cooks came in to pre- nare breakfast they found the re- mains lying on the cook tab'e. There is no doubt in our mind but that he needed food very badly for there was not any fiesh on his bones. MODERN MATH He was teaching her arithmetic He said it was his mission; He kissed her once, he kissed her twice, And said, now that's addition. As he added smack by smack In silent satisfaction; She timidly gave him one back, And said, now thats subtraction, Then he kissed and she kissed him Without an explanation, And both together said, ttNow that's multiplication. But dad appeared upon the scene, And he snorted in diverson; And he kicked them three blocks away. uNow thatis long division.

WEDDING AT COLLEGE The wedding of Miss tHoward Wallacet Scott to Mr. Cecil Ding- ler was solemnized Nov. 14th, in the college dining room, where an altar of ferns had been improv1sed for the occasion. The Rev. Clin- ton Burnett officiated with the ring ceremony. Preceding the ceremony, Mr. V. T. Montgomery sang with a great deal of feeling, HA Good Man's Hard to Find.u - At eight olclock sharp the bridal party entered the dining,r room. to the strains of Lohengrin's wedding march. . . The bride was glven in marriage by her father, Mr. Norman Mart-in. She wore an elegant gown of whlte cheese cloth with court train, ans! a gorgeous. imported. real lace veil of mosquito net. She carried a bouquet of red radishes, with shower bouquets of the same, tied with white ribbon. The maid of honor. Mr. Otis Fer- guson, wore a white lace gown over blue silk, and large picture hat. He carried a bouquet of yel- low Chrysanthemums and broom- weed. The bridesmaids were Mr. Par- nell and Mr. Bridges. Mr. Pamell wore a pink georgette dress bead- ed in white, and black picture hat, while Mr: Bridges wore a hand- some gown of Nile green, and a black picture hat. They both car- ried bouquets of white Chrysanthe- mums and broomweed. The two flower girls, Mr. Pres- ton Tate, and Mr. Leo Ammonett, were charming in their fluffy white dresses and perky bows. Mr. Tate's accessories were pink, while Mr. Ammonettls were blue. They carried large baskets of autumn leaves which they strew in front of the bridal procession. Mr. Riley Yarbrough was ring bearer, and Mr. Karl Booker the train bearer. The two little boys were adorned in black knee trous- ers and white blouses with winlsor ties. The best man, Mr. J. Robertson, had the painful duty of removing two objectors from the audience. The woman tMr. Joe Lattimoret maintained that the groom was en- gaged to her, while the man tMr. F'ero Williamsl tried to prove that the groom was already married. The bridels mother, Mr. Carey Baughn, wore a dress of grey bro- cade. with a hat and neck-piece to match. The two ushers were Messrs. Emmett and Pruitt Underwood. The honor guests were Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Davis and close friends of the young couple. After the wedding a reception was held in the parlors, where the weddingr cake was cut. The bride's bouquet was caught by the maid of honor. Mr. and Mrs. Dingler left imme- diately after the reception for their honeymoon. They will he at home until June first at the College Barracks. SYMPHONIES OF LIFE The mocking bird in the live oak Singing so loud and free Strikes never a note of sadness In all of his melody; And yet I know there are shadows Crossing his path sometimes, But deep in his heart he hides them And sings only happy chimes. There are people too whose music Is all in a major key With never a note of wailing In lifels great symphony; For the minor strains of sorrow, Such as must come to all, They hush into soulful silence And only the glad notes fall. -Mrs. W. Chamberlin. MOTHER WI'II Down and out, said the old lady as she jerked the feathers off the goose. Never again. I will not be a gander, Ilm off the job for life, And souglht another billet, To light this earthly strife. Now listen, little children, Unto this grewsome tale, And you will know the whenceness Of my pessimistic wail; I listened to the siren song, Of those who like to boast, Of garden sass fresh from the soil, At very little cost. I bought $4 worth of seeds, A hoe and rake and spade, To have my little patch nlowed up in precious bones I paid. With eager joy I chuckled, As cunning beds I made, A d in their proper trenches, The hopeful seed I laid. To tell you all that happened. To quench my glowing pride. Would take two days and fill a book And then you'd think I'd lied. The cows tramped oler my garden spot; The dogs came there to play, And scratched deep caverns in it, To hide their bones away. The children of the householu, And eke the neighbor', too, Took full possession of it, As a bully playground new. But worse than tag and honscotch, With happy yells and shouts, They'd dig the seeds up one by one, To see the little sprouts. And the chickens. O, the chickens, They came from blocks around, To help my precious seed come up, By scratching in the ground At last some pale plants came to light, Discouraged. weak. and few; And with them came the worm: and bugs, Of every shape and hue. But here must end this tragic tale, You now have heard enough, To learn he surely pays the price, Who raises garden stuff. BADLY MIXED As an illustration of what can happen, we cite the mixup of the Bangor iPaJ News some time atro when the printer got a wedding and an auction sale mixed up with the following result: William Smith, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Smith. and Miss Lucy Anderson were dispos- ed of at a nublic auction at my farm one mile east. in the nres- ence of seventy Quests. includinq twn mules and twelve head of cattle. Rev. Jackson tied the nuntial knot for the parties. avnraoimr 19.50 pounds on honf. The beauti- ful home of the bride was decorated with one sulky rake, one feed grind- er and two sets of work harness, nearly new, and just before the ceremony was pronounced the Men- rlul and Sons wedding march was rendered by one milk .cow, five years old, one Jersey cow and one sheep, who carrying a bunch of bridesl roses in her hand was very beauti- ful. She wore one light spring wagon, two crates of aoples. three racks of hay, one grindstone of mouseline de soie and trimmings with about 100 bushels of svuds. The bridle couple left yesterday 0 an extended trip. Terms, spot TO THE FACULTY The fa'culty, the Tarletoh faculty, What memories these words bring, Of how we worked and played, From fall until spring. First of course comes the Dean, He's interested in us we know. We'll now sing 206. But did the boys sing? No! Next comes Mr. Gearald, With his ready smile, Who 1s kept busy telling seniors They can graduate-afterwhile, Miss Pearl must be the next, She's always willing to help, Therefore when we get demerits We should never yelp. Mr. Davis, the commandant, Is very popular too, Even though he sometimes does Make the boys feel almost blue, And Mr. Hays, the coach, I mean, Is dear to hearts of all, For hasnit he coached our boys iTill they're the champions of all Mr. Ferguson's not far behind, For we all love him too, He is so pleasant and serene. But he gives us a great deal to do. Mr. Riley, who dishes math. He never knows a thing we do, And he never teases anyone iBout happenings of the last year or two. And everyone likes Miss Mahan, Punils do think a little some- times, We do, Miss Mahan, Quite often, But not Son English themes or rhym And Mr. Semith with his grave look Makes his pupils step around And write, hemes, Themes, Themes, Until their brains go 'rounu. And Mr Hays, 0, that physics class of his. Is enough to drive him crazy. And I really believe it is. Mr. Reed, with his skeletons and And butterflies, moth and worms 0' about the end of every month, He surely makes us squirm. Next comes Miss Brown What a good little chink she is, But she is so jolly and all, We love her as she is. Then there's Miss Randall, She's always in for all the fun, She's so lively and everything, She surely makes things hum. Then Miss Mitchell, Shels very popular, too, Then Mr. Ward expects us to say Oui, Oui, or Como Estae Vd, As well as he, but well He makes us feel like a blockhead. Then there's Misses Green and Walker, Messrs. McArthur, Funkhouser and Hale too, I'd like to speak a word for all. But space forbids, so ADIEU. -By J . L. W.

QUOTATION WORTH I REMEMBERING ' I Donit think of the good you could do If you had'just a million or two; Rather think of the good you could do, if you would, With a smile and- a kind word or two. There's always a river to cross, Always an effort to make, If thereis anything good to win Any rich prizes to take. The noblest sight this world has to offer is a young man bent upon making the most of himself. Only what thou art in thyself determines thy value: Scatter your flowers as you go, you will never go this way again. A GIRUS COMPOSITION Boys are men who have not got as big as their papas, and girls are women that will be ladies by and by. Man was made before woman. When God looked at Adam, He said to himself: Well, I think I can do better, if I try again. And he made Eve so much' better than Adam that there have been more women than men ever since. ' Boys are a trouble. They wear out everything but soap. If I had my way half the world would be girls and the other half dollars, My papa is so nice, 'he must have been a little girl'when he was a little boy. Man was made and on the sev- enth day he rested. Woman was then made and she has never rest-- V ed since. JUST FOLKS I have to live with myself, and so, I want to be fit for myself to know, I want to be able as the days go by, Always to look.myself straight in the eye; I don't want to stand with the set- ting sun, And hate myself for the things Ilve done. I don't want to keep on a closet shelf A lot of secrets about myself, And fool myself, as I come and go, Into thinking that nobody else will know The kind of a man I really am, I dontt want to dress up myself in sham. I want to go out with my head erect I want to deserve all men's respect; But here in the struggle for fame . and pelf ' I want to be able to like mySen- I don't want to look at myself and Know 'That I'm bluster and bluff and empty show. I never can hide myself from me; I see what others may never see; I know what others may never know; I never can fool myself, and so, Whatever happens I want to be self-respecting and conscious free.

One of the senior girls had a very nice way of expressing herself, and just look what she received as an answer. Proposal Dearest, darling of my heart Iive been pierced by Cupid's dart Come any by my side do stay, From me do not turn away, I have loved you dear sweetheart Many, many, days. And now, dearest darling buy. If you would fill my life with joy And let me love you all my life, Be my wife. Answer I, infact, am surprised beyond myself. Why, this is so sudden. Why did you wait so long? You know I will accept. although I real- ly had not given it much thought. GENTLE WORDS A young rose in the summer time Is beautiful to me, And glorious are the many stars That glimmer on the sea; But gentle words and loving hearts And hands to clasp my own Are better than the finest Howers Or stars that ever shone. The sun may warm the glass to life The dew the drooping Hower And eyes gTow bright to watch the light Of autumnts opening hour; But words that breathe of tender- ness, And smiles we know are true, Are warmer than the summer time And lighter than the dew. It is not much the world can give, With all its subtle art, And gold and gems are not the things To satisfy the heart; But oh! If those who cluster round The altar and the hearth Have. gentle words and smiles, How beautiful is earth! loving LOOK OUT! A Tarletonite armed with a J-TAC.

H-C of a good carethe shape its BATI'LE OF THE STICKS The first active service was ex- perienced by the cadet corps at drill last Friday week. The two companies were halted for rest very near each other. Company B be- ing under a dead tree took advan- tage of their opportunity and bom- barded Company A with sticks about the size of stove wood, where- upon Company A made a charge and drove the offenders across the road and into the woods. Here the battle lulled until some guy landed a 42 centimeter on Joe Lattimore's head, taking part of the scalp with it, then things opened up right. Finally Company B made a counter charge and gained their former position on the drill field. Here Sgt. Winters withstood all attacks and held his own. At the sound of the bugle the Captains, Mart and Ferguson held a truce and agreed to an armistice. Both companies stacked arms and beat a hasty retreat.
