Our purpose has been to preserve for you a record of the events of this school year, that you may more perfectly remember the many good times we have enjoyed. Not without many hardships and much diffi- culty have we accomplished our task. Much is lacking, we know, but we have done our best. May you have as much fun in reading this volume as we have had in compiling it. THE STAFF. AWESVCLE; 1 9 7- 2 .MA-m 10 ! .JJ mm GRASSBURR; Mm VIII.

Everything was so big and strange, especially that monstrous ordeal through which every freshman must pass, Registration! As I stood in the outer-ofhce of the Dean, I curiously gazed about and to my amazement there were others gazing just as curiously. Later I learned their names as Hudsy, Jack, Ray, Irma, Hazelwood, Carey, Tom, Hortense, Rankin and Birdwell. I soon learned that they were freshmen too. Of course there were others but each September at our roll call some have been dropped from the list. A few have qualified to teach, some have withdrawn seeing fit to take up various phases of work, and several have married. On October 5, 1919, we organized our class, Roy Hudspeth was elected Presi- dent. Every election for these four years he has been chosen. That alone is enough to prove he is one of the best class presidents in Texas. Along with our good president we have had a good class. At the close of that school year we were proud to say we would never be quite so green again. The next year with regrets we lost Dean Cox, but were happy to receive our own Dean and Mrs. Davis, who have inspired and encouraged us on to higher things. We began to catch the Tarleton spirit. The spirit of love, faithfulness and honor for our College. We have tried to a person to hold up to the world just what Tarleton stands for: truth, honesty and loyalty. May those who succeed us do the same. The junior class of '21 was one of the best that has ever entered Tarleton College Fifty-six in number, all worked, fought the battles of college life, played, stayed together. With a number of thirty-three on our roll this year we have the largest class that has ever graduated from this institution. From the Senior Class the staff for the J-Tac and the Grassburr was chosen. We have taken an active part in all clubs and social activities, The president and secretary of the Dramatic Club, president of Y. W. C. A., president of The Home Economics Club, president and secretary of The Students' Council were from our class. The Athletic mem- bers have largely been chosen from our midst, we only have to mention a few of them to be convincing: Hudsy, Baughn, Aiken and Bassel, for the girls: Loraine and Locile, Lois and Irma. They have always played a clean, fair game. We are largely represented in the Glee Clubs and the Quartet. The Twins were elected from our class as best allround girls, we boast of them for they are the first twins to graduate from John Tarleton. Our first Editor-in-Chief of the Annual worked very diligently until the second term. Then she heard another duty callingeshe got married. Some of our members have performed their work so adequately that when teachers were called out of town the students could conduct the classes. True we have had hardships and many times have become discouraged, but when we. were just at that point of giving up. someone, often a faculty member, would give us an encouraging word or smile and we would try again. We always found them willing and anxious to help. Many pleasant memories will we take with us from Tarleton, and among these is the memory of Miss Bierschwale, who we will always love for her earnest work, trne spirit and faithfulness and never failing interest. We chose her as class advnsor in our Junior year and retained her in our Senior year. We come to the close of our History in Tarleton, but we are going out into the world to make another history. Let us make it, too, a clean, well fought one. We hope'that In some way we have made this school just a little better than we found it. May those we leave behind to fight the battles of the school, hold the banner high, and in later years we shall look back with pride to Tarleton Our dear old Alma Mater. ash Ammzmi J 47 WGRASSBURRJ mm PROPHECY MARY SANSING Tarleton's cadets had hiked to the College Farm to spend the day. As usual the co-eds were left at home- this time to prepare for a gymnasium party in the evening. We had all gathered in the gym and prepa- rations were under way for the evening's fun. Laughter and chatter filled the air and made noisy the long hall, but suddenly, as it were, silence spread over all, darkened all. A weird feeling rather of awe than of fear crept into the hearts under the blue chambray. The air grew dense, thicker, foggy, and even cold, the earth darker and darker. The sun no longer shone. The stars were in their places, but they, too, became tangled and tumbled against each other and seemed likely to be thrown earth- ward at any moment. The co-eds were frightenedi They wishedvthe cadets had not gone as far as the farm. In my own frenzy, I I crossed the hall, ran wildly to a window in the oppo- site room. The stars and stripes shining in the hashing darkness and light caught and held my eyes. Tarleton had taught me to reverence the hag. In this strange storm what might not happen to it? I dashed out of the room, down the stairs, and out to the flag pole. The stars, thrown out of their orbits and crashing madly, fell to earth defeated but glistening. Near the flag pole was a large one that I supposed had been lying there for several minutes. It was near enough to the pole that by climbing upon it I could easily reach the rope and take the flag down. With the valor of Jack the Giant Killer I climbed, but as soon as my feet touched the mass I felt it grow larger and larger. A gleaming, glistening tree sprang up before me, a Wishing Tree! I knew it! I hadn't read Long's Blue Fairy Book for nothing! 'Twas a big, truly, wishing tree brilliantly lighted by thirty-three small wishing rings. In it lived a dainty dryad whose dress had the brilliance of the rings. After greeting me with, Hello, Earth Worm!' she stepped from the tree and asked what I wished for more than anything. Wealth, I said. Disappointment showed on her face. I hurried on, College Degrees; she seemed still displeased so I asked to see the future of each member of the Senior class. Amman 1 Q 7- 2 m$m 4R WT? ETTES f: mm GRASSBURR; mm At this she chuckled, causing four of the rings to fall to the ground and burst. As they did, I saw the twins sueing Roy Box for breach of promise, as he had gotten them mixed and proposed to both. Ray Bellamy was the defendant's lawyer, and had nearly won his case, The next rings that were shaken off I recognized at once as the Senior BeI-Iall boys. There were Carey Baughn, a barber with a promising career at Granbury; Lewis Link, a juggler in vaudeville and then in the Orpheum at Waco; Hudsey, a comedian in the movies, who sometimes tried such daring stunts that the audience was held breathless for moments at a time; Templeton, a leader of a strike against the uniform in A4 8; M., having had some experience in wearing them and knowing how they had crushed the vanity of the boys in Tarleton; then, Aiken, in charge of Tarleton's Agricultural exhibits at the second World's Fair in San Francisco. Three more rings fell and burst. I quickly glanced at each and saw Irma Patterson mending clothes in Roberts, Tailor Shop. George Bill having taken Mr. Gamett Froh's place, was at the piano. The last of the three was Lota, whose kindergartens had turned into cabarets and ballrooms, and who no longer told that church is at eleven and seven. The next shower of rings showed Martha lecturing in Boston University on Southern Aris- tocracy; Grace, owner of a Green candy kitchen in Chicago; Lon, campaign manager for Annie Ruth, who at that time was running for deputy sheriff. Louise, who had failed to light the world with her intellect, had resorted to candle-making. After the light of these had faded, I watched to be shown the others, but the brown-eyed drya'd mocked me, and refused to show me her treasures. I begged her to let me see others. She chuckled merrily and again the rings fell, this time revealing the fact that Doc Birdwell's wealthy uncle had died and left him in charge of a ladies' ready-to-wear department, and he had been infatu- ated with one of the models; that Hortense was a dairy maid on her way to the village with rattling cans and bottles crowding the back part of a small, white cavassed- top milk wagon; Lucy, being relieved of her Annual responsibilities, had assumed those of a widower, ten children, and two Airedales; John Tucker, remarkable for fluency in Spanish, had been chosen as a foreign minister to Spain. amml 9 1 2 Wm eg WORASSBURR; mm The dryad gave me a quick, shy glance. Greater sur- prises are yet in store for you, she said, to great cities we'll travel, then chuckled. The rings fell, and in their mirror I saw New York Hazelwood and Myrtle, owners of a tea room in Greenwich Village, called Hill's Kitchen ; Lois toe-dancing in the Midnight Follies; Beryl reigning supreme in a beauty shop in the Ritz and making manicuring a specialty. One little ring lay apart. Feeling sorry for it in its loneliness, I stepped forward to look at it more closely. With this one step I had traveled from the Atlantic to the Gulf. Standing in the door of the Girls' Dormitory at Grubbs was Frances Robertson, now matron. She had long since given up the frivolities of love and had assumed a definite state of spinsterhood. The last time the dryad shook the tree five more rings fell and burst, showing Jack es butch on the so-called train through Arkansas, selling cracker-jack and the like. Claude and Rankin Stockton were with the Dixie Lyceum, Claude a tenor soloist and Rankin his accom- panist. Charles McCleskey was in Africa experimenting with bees; James Hopper was a successful air cop, and had just succeeded in arresting a young couple that had eloped in an airplane In the last ring I saw only a placard On which was printed, Boxing Tonight at Coliseum, Jack Dempsey vs. Tom Morris. Now only one ring was left. It teased my curiosity. I asked the dryad to let me see just this one; she refused, but agreed to let it light my way back to the steps of the building. I stopped to pick up the rings lying on the ground and the last ring rolled in front of me until I reached the steps, then fell but didn't burst. My future still remains within this little ring.

They endured many hardships, but encouraged by entertainments they reached Sophomore Land and chose to lead them through this wonderful Sophomore Land, Joe Lattimore and Lucy King. Miss Pearl Mahan was their adviser. Some fell by the way side, because the road was long and hard, but the majority reached the welcome Junior Land. They were tired so they rested a long time before they attempt ed to cross this unexplored land. Part III Those chosen to lead the Pilgrims through Junior Land were Zelna Compton and Mary Davidge Buck. For a counsellor they chose one who had been along the road before, Miss Mattie Walker. Poliye Williams was to keep an account of the journey and Dow Ferry to carry the money. Of course, they must have some pleasure and they chose Ernest Belcher, Lola Thompson, Kathryne Newsom and Elizabeth Hawkins to be the leaders in en- tertaining. Through the influence of this committee, The Pilgrims enjoyed a delightful evening on the farm, and later in the journey they stopped one night at the Gym long enough for a few proposals, etc. But they had some hardships. Many sought to make their way easy by crossing the desert of Psychology, but were sadly disappointed; A few tried to scale the moun- tain of College Algebra, but never reached the top. Three fell into the sea of matrimony. The rest continued their weary way pricking their feet with demerits and suffering much. They entered the land of Popularity and Zelna Comp- ton was quickly seized as the best allround boy of the band and of the student body. Before they came to the other side of Junior Land they were asked to edit a paper called the J-Tac. Billy Scurry was chosen to do the editing. After wandering on and on they came to another band of Pilgrims called Seniors. The wandering Pilgrims en- tertained them with a Junior-Senior banquet which proved to be the greatest social event of the journey. Since they were tired they decided to rest again before they should follow the Seniors across Senior Land. wwyihl 0 2 2 W7 ; 5'7 Jig m: WGRASSBURR; mm F Aquzzmm 58 w GRASSBURR; mm SOPHOMORES Amml Q 1 1 mm WT E Amml 0 2 2 Wm 4H5 60 MGRASSBURR; mm ma i Amw1912MH 61 mm GRASSBURR; mm Er? HISTORY OF THE SOPHOMORE CLASS ttHello, F'ishe! Hello, Yourself!ehut I'm no Fishedon't you remember we shed our slimy scales in June-now it is September! Full grown Sophs, old boy! Righto! Hurrah for the Sophs-best all round sports and fine fellows! Two witty Sophomores stood on the steps of the Agricultural building preparv atory to registering in John Tarleton College on the morning of September 20, 1921, and exchanged these merry greetings. It was true last year's Fish had lost their fmny and scaly youth and now were full-fledged, learned, capable and wise Sophomores. On September 30, they called a meeting to elect their officers and faculty advisor. The following were elected: Randolph Chandler, president; Louise Shelton, vice-president; Alta Henson, secretary; and Miss Jewel Wurtzbaugh, faculty advisor. On October 18, they met again to complete the election of officers. Carlton Downing was elected J-Tac reporter. Odessa Little, chairman of the social committee, and Grady Graves, clasg historian. Ask any Sophomore in school who is the best sport in college and fifty out of forty-nine will say, uMiss Wurtzbaugh, for it is she who started the class off with pep, saw that it ran with pep, and is helping to transfer that upep to a lively bunch next year. On October 8, she entertained us with an outdoor party at Handyis Park. There were three cars and one truck load of boister- ous Sophs and some Juniors and Seniors that enjoyed our delicious supper and the fun of solos, quartets, choruses, dances, stories, stunts, yells, 'neverything. After Christmas we had most of our old Sophs and several new students back in class. The Sophs showed marked ability and were well represented in athletics, the Glee Club, the Honor Roll, and various literary societies; in fact, there was no organization in school that progressed without them. Even the Seniors realized their power when a notorious Soph whom they called Blue gave them a wink and changed their Editor-in-Chief of the Annual into a house- keeper in the twinkle of an eye. The J-Tac put out February 22 by the Sophomore class with J. S. Clements as editor and Milton Rea as business manager, was the snappiest issue of the year according to the opinion of the Editorial Staff of the J-Tac. On February 25, the Sophs met at Mrs. Sansingis for a theatre party. After being entertained at Mrs. Sansing's, we went to the theatre, where we enjoyed seeing The Little Minister, then to the Majestic Confectionery for delicious re- freshments of pink cookies and cream. But, oh my! Mention everything we cannot, so we do hereby lay our armor aside to begin the lonely trip asundere Vacation! Again, next year we shall joyfully band ourselves together, not as Scaly Fish, nor even as Wise Sophs, but as all-important and all-knowing Juniors.

NM, Egg mm GRASSBURR; mm FRESHMEN This body of students has been called green but they are glad to be green, greenness is a sign of growth As Freshmen, our class has made a good record. Possibly at first we were a little dreamy, but what of that? Were there not many dreamers among the world's greatest men? The class has waked up now and if any one insinuates for a moment that the Freshmen are not a live wide-awake class, it will not take long for him to be convinced of his error. When it comes to helping the school or standing behind everything it attempts, the Freshmen are right there. If the school runs up against some problems the Freshmen do not sit down and say, Let somebody else do that, but they get right into the fight and help old Tarleton scale the top. If the Freshmen are sometimes looked down upon there is reason for that, because one cannot be a Junior or Senior without first being a Freshman. While the Freshman has his trials, he also has his joys for to no one can everything appear so new. and strange, and wonderful as the Freshman. It is his blessed lot to know not and know not that he knows not, but one day nhe will know and know that he knows. Great thigs may be expected of our class for we are full of npep so watch us step. Es Amml 9 2 2 Mn .1ng 65 e mmm 1 Q wwm W GRASSBURR: mm HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The need for a Home Economics Club has long been felt in Tarleton. It seemed that the time had come because after the growth of this department for a few years, it has become one of the very strongest in school, and has perhaps done more for this section of the state than has any other department. It represents the three phases of Home Economics: Clothing, Foods, and House- hold Arts. The Club is honored by having the teachers of each of these departments taking an active part in the work, giving to it its inspiration and enthusiasm. It 15 our aim to learn the parliamentary procedure necessary in organizing Home Economics Clubs in communities. We discuss such questions as arise in this work, and get practice in public talks and demonstrations, thus enabling us to go out into our places as active workers. We make it one of our duties not to shirk disagreeable assignments, and we believe in finishing a task that is once begun We also believe in having fun when the time for pleasure comes. Hence we do not neglect social meetings. Our first meeting was of a business nature; we elected officers, discussed the aim and scope of the club, together with the constitution and by- laws under which we are working. Numerous meetings have followed at which we demon- strated sour cream fudge, the weaving of baskets and trays, the making of artificial fiowers, etc. We hope that our club will grow year by year. We believe that the one who puts most into school life gets the most out of it. We believe too, that if our plan for the Home Economics Club is realized, every enthusiastic member as she goes out to teach or to make a home, will greatly broaden her scope of usefulnessi 66 Mam: 0 RA 8 S 13 URR; :wm THE SEWING LABORATORY THE COOKING LABORATORY 51L v a-Mt'IJe-tz 1 9 1 1 xWWt-m J Egan: 67 w GRASSB mm; r5z-$,m,.

Mr. F'unkhouser, head of the manual arts department was made faculty advisor, Leroy Wren, J-Tac reporter and Sid Rankin sergeante at-arms.

With Mt Froh as faculty advisor, the club has accomplished many things. It was under the auspices of the club that the Howard Payne Glee Club gave a recital in the college auditorium. This was one of the chief musical events of the year. The club has not neglected the social side. The Valentine Piarty will always be a pleasant event to remember.

The exhibits, during Christmas holidays, consisting of oil paintings, water colors and China paintings were a great success. 74 mm GRASSBURR; mm THE FINE ARTS CLUB THE MALE QUARTET -- rw,f'z?2 5;r;z 1 9 7- 1 Amwm '75 mm GRASSBURR; Mm THE COLLEGE ORCHESTRA 1'11 117nm!

Thomas Davis Club was organized in the spring term of 1921 by Miss Pearl Mahan. At the very start the membership was limited to twenty- five. Although very little work was done the first year the way was opened for the coming year of '21 and '22. The club was reorganized at the opening term of '21 and it has been running true to the ideals set for it at the beginning. There were many open house programs given during the year and the pub- lic seemed to enjoy them and was very much interested in them. The Junior colleges of this district sent delegates to Fort Worth to arrange for a series of debates and the result was that Tarleton had to debate Meridian at Meridian on the 17th of March, and a schedule was arranged for the elimination of the colleges until one of them was winner. Our tryouts for the team were very interesting for each man had a chance and wanted to exercise it. At last by ballot eight men were chosen to try out. The judges picked the following three men to represent us: Latson, Jenkins, and Gilbreath, and at this time there has been no further developments. $ Ammmzzmm . 83 mks 9mg; GRAS SB mam amm THE J. T.

A llpeppy bunch of fellows with lots of grit got together and arranged for what later became Britten Hall. With a membership of about 22, a good cook, lots of confldence, courage, and a few extras, E Hall was made into a spacious, quiet, and peaceful home with the best of environment. Odie Savage was unanimously chosen president, Carey Baughn, business manager; and Lewis Link, treasurer; and well may these young men be commended for their efficient services and successful efforts toward making the enterprise a success. Never will those days of hard work, earnest devotion to study, pleasant associations and pastimes be forgotten. Britton Hall was like unto the great American nation, of which we are a part; there was an all-glorious combination of all the elements which charac- terize the American people as a whole. A mixture of practically all races and nations, as well as an abundance of the minur points which go to make up America's manhood were there. There were Swedes, English, Germans, Irish, Indians, Scotch, Jews, HWops, and Dagoes, and some that couldn't be named, but men and Americans all. There were big and little men, short and long, lean and fat, good and bad, handsome and ugly, gentlemen and ladies' men, song birds and those who couldnlt carry a tune in a sack, those who studied hard and. those who never studied, conservative men and jelly beans, would-be preachers and mission- aries, rich and poor, great and small. They had faults but were men, each and every one of them. Many and happy were the hours spent there, and no Man of B Hall will ever forget them. .: h3g5: AMVW'; 1 Q 7- 2 rriilfziknA-rr't JJ n!

With one accord Miss Looney was chosen as our Bonehead adviser. Like our many other stunts we chose as our motto: The cultivated mind is the Guardian Genius of De- mocracy, and for our colors we selected red and pink. Our biggest Bonehead, Aubry, We chose as our chief bone to crack the little bones. Of course it was necessary to have someone record the progress made by our minds, yet in the rough, so Estelle was the inevitable. Jewell, being nearest our star in English task Miss Bierschwalel reported the birth of the Boneheads, To the great distress of the club, Ethel was made public in chapel by having her monthly record read, and her name scrawled on the hgnor roll.

Amhmg 9 2 2 mm Jig mm GRASSBURRJ mm WV HALLOWEEN ON THE CAMPUS I have had many exciting times in my life, experiences that might be called hair-raising. But take them all in all, the most thrilling one by far, the one that I shall remember 'till my dying day, happened to me only a few months ago. It was Halloween night, the night of goblins. spooks, and witches. The moon was helf-veiled by a strange sort of vapor that might have been the steam from some witch's pot. The stars shone brightly as the sharp eyes of foxes, and the milky way twisted and wriggled across the heavens like a huge serpent lazily warming itself by the side of an enchantress' fire. Truly, it was just such a night as Hecate, the mother of witches, might wish herself. I had just left the goblin party at the Dormitory and as I walked toward the Home Economics building, a feeling of awe-almost of fearqrept over me. The horror of seeing a skeleton walk in our midst at the Dump was still upon me, making goose-Hesh of my skin, and causing a feeling of impending disaster that I could not shake elf. The clock struck twelve. Horrors! What could that ghostly procession be, walking so grandly and solemnly into the open door of the Home Economics building? Something told me that I must follow them, and obeying the impulse, I staggered up the steps, trembling in every limb and muscle. The light flashed on and I saw that the strange company had assembled in the Auditorium. Silently I crept into the large room and slipped down unnoticed behind a' seat near the door. Spooks and goblins help me! Could I believe my eyes! There sat the Drill Field, The Flag Pole, A Flight of Stairs, The Bulletin Board, and a queer-looking person called ttPep. What could this weird assembly of things so familiar to students of Tarleton mean? Suddenly there appeared in their midst, the Tarleton Sprite. He made a quaint little bow and said: Rain and shower, rain and shower. Make the most of this magic hour. Seven and 'leven, seven and 'leven. One hour of speech to you is given. He disappeared as suddenly as he came. Then the Drill Field spoke in a hollow voice: I am the Drill Field. My mission is only to provide a tramping ground for the cadets. Very often my feelings are disregarded, for the marchers have no respect for me. Beauty is not mine. Cadets are so thoughtless-they are ever tearing the limbs and leaves from the trees that so gracefully decorate my bosom. It hurts me, for the trees are a part of me. And oh! What a deadful feeling it is to be trampled on, continually trampled on. And those terrible commands-they are only vulgar noises to me. In the summer months I strive so hard to clothe myself with a coat of grassy green, but all my efforts are in vain. Oh! that I were a mountain slope or a hill-side. I would at least be free and my own! Solemnly, and in stately dignity, the Flag Pole rose and said: 1.21m the College Flag Pole. Mine is the sacred duty and privilege of holding up to the world the emblem of truth, purity, and freedom. I am so tall that the passing multitudes must look upward to see my golden crown. Ea ammlozzmm fail 120 W WGRASSBURR; mm ? l a I tower above all else. When the breezes blow, I am gladdened; I love to see the colors as they tug, twist, and kiss each other. My heart sings, for I know that they are only pulling in joy and fun. And sadness comes in the evening when they are lowered and I am alone until sunrise. The Flight of Stairs scampered to the stage, climbed up, and said with a laugh: I am a Flight of Stairs on the third door of the Agricultural building. My steps are very steep, but this doesn't matter, for I am not used very much as ordinary steps are. I serve for purposes other than to be climbed. I am frequently used to sit on. With very little coaxing, I would tell of all the clandestine meetings which have taken place on my steps; of all the little romances I have fostered. But who would want all this revealed? Perhaps it is better left untold to the world. I rejoice in the fact that I am the keeper of many secrets, and I will continue to be as trustworthy as only a Flight of Stairs can be. Someone cleared his throat, and spoke in a deep, bass voice: uI am the Bulletin Board. I tell the students all their faults. I am the most unpopular being in school; nevertheless, I am also the most conspicuous. I am even more famous than the book-store mail box. I am read much more than any lesson or even the iJ-Tacf Those whom I have not censured are few, but still they seek my advice. Lafayette of Tarleton,' the mail box, the bringer of good news, has many friends. But his power is nothing. My friends are scarce as the buds of December. But I rule with an iron hand. I am the College Napoleon.' Up jumped Pep, and dancing around the room, he began yelling: uRah! Rah! Rah! Who am I? Don't you know? Why, I am Tarleton's Pep. Just a minute, and PH tell you about myself. I am the very essence of determination, ambition, and loyalty, distilled and refined. I am the stuff that races through the veins oi every son and daughter of Tarleton. Many and varied are the manifestations of my presence by the student body. Especially do they like a favorite song of mine called tOn Ye Tarletonf They also like to yell themselves hoarse at the gamez, and all for my benefit. What would they do if it were not for me? Listen, I'll tell you! They would only be drowsy, tdon't-care' students, and I could never think of living with them. So, Tarleton, l'ieexi up 'the old spirit of Tightf Everybody ready, and let's give fifteen for ar eton . The sounds of the yell died away. The clock struck one, Crash! The ttTarleton Sprite was there again. Waving his arms wildly, he cried: Away! Away! Ere the light of day, Shall softly over you steal. Next year you'll spend an hour; gay And joyous and light you'll feel. Too solemn and sad you have been today. May the Ghosts of Tomorrow Wash away all your sorrow! Oh, up and away! Away! With these words, he faded away from sight. Slowly and solemnly the procession made its way out of the building; and took their old, accustomed places. A door slammed. breaking the spell that was cast about me. I arose in fear and wonder from my hiding place and hastily made my way home.

It makes me mad;-but then I s'pose what I should wish instead Fixed in an automatic box that would turn loose on me- When I get mad and let my head whirl faster than it should- A little better judgment and some self- control would be.

It is the morning after Commencement, and they are preparing to return home. I am so glad that I have finished at Tarleton, she says, but I can hardly bear to leave. I, too, am proud that I have finished at Tarleton, he replied. Of course we dread the parting, but we shall always have a dear memory of the old school. The things we have learned here, the inspiration to go higher, will be out greatest help as years pass. But leaving one's friends is so hard. Yes, taking her hand, but sometime, dear, when I have proved myself worthy to bear the name, man, I 11 find you somewhere, and te nJ? She can not speak, but the wonderful light in her eyes reassures him. Two trains rumble up to the station, stop, and put? slowly out, carrying a Tarleton Boy and a Tarleton Girl away in opposite directions. As they stand 011 the rear platform, they wave farewell, and are lost to sight. Years pass and we hear little of them. They finish at various schools and begin their work. Then we begin to hear faint murmurs of their suc- cesses, small; but no, they are growing greater. Here is a person who says a Tarleton Boy' 15 a great engineer and has done something unthought of before. You say he is a novelist, unrivalled for agesea reformer of power, shaping the thoughts of nations? Another has heard of him as a great physician. He is all that is worthy. There is a musician un- equalled by any-a teacher. Yes, she is a Tarleton Girl, one to be proud of, a man's ideal. In this manner, faint echoes of the successful careers of these two Tarleton graduates come to us As the years pass since that day 011 the station platform, memory keeps alive the promise of a Tarleton Girl in the heart of a Tarleton Boy. At last he writes to her to meet him at the old place of parting. Will she come. Two trains rumble in to the station from opposite directions. They stop; passengers alight, and they pass on. A neat, strong, well made young fellow has alighted and is standing on the platform gazing eagerly about him At the opposite end, and coming toward him is a beautiful young woman, seemingly looking for someone. He sees her and is at her side. How happy they look as they greet each other. Yes, it is a Tarleton Boy and a Tarleton Girl. Slowly they walk down Tarleton avenue as of old. Do you remember a spring morning similar to this '3 he asks. Yes, the day we left here, after our graduation. And your promise?
