MUSINGS
By Bob Havlns
Things hustle and things bustle
and the grass shows that spring Is In
the air. Things happen and things
fall to happen and such Is the way of
life.
We understand that the Sopho-
mores are really busy and plan to
make the Howard Payne Day a real
success this year. We are carrying
a story on the activities In another
part of the paper and we would sug-
gest that you read the story and then
when you go home tell your friends
about It and urge all of them that
are seniors In high school to come to
the affair. From the looks of the
program we are really going to have
something that will be worth while.
We 1 an across the following little
ditty the other day:
When you started
Reading this
You probably thought
It was a poem.
But now you know It
Isn't a poem.
But Isn't It funny
How one will
Keep on reading
When he knows
That he is being fooled.
Next week is the annual Slime Edi-
tion. The Muser understands that
Slime Tune and his running mates
are going to put out a good paper. It
will be distributed at the picnic next
Friday according to Tune.
Attorney General McCraw gets our
vote for the cleverest and most In-
teresting speech of the year In chapel.
There was ju.st that something about
his talk that we do not find in the
ordinary run of chapel speakers. We
thoroughly enjoyed the speech and
wish to congratulate whoever was In-
strumental In getting him to appear
on the program. If we had more
speakers like him we would have
much better response from the stu-
dent body as a whole.
We note that almost all of the or-
ganizations on the campus are spring-
ing to life with the Spring and are
doing something. Even the Press Club
had a picnic the other night their
first social affair of the year. We
congratulate us on actually doing
something.
Your Muser hates to leave you
but it draws nigh unto the dealine
and who would we be to turn In copy
after the deadline ?

PLANS ARE TAKING FORM FOR
ANNUAL HOWARD PAYNE DAY
SPRING'S AWAKENING
The mounting sun dispersed the
dew
An oriole sang In the woodland
yew
Humming birds kissed the tulips
near
While Nature's song was In my
ear.
On a pond nearby the lilies made
A thousand Islands where green
frogs played.
Two thrushes In a tree above
Sang I'll vow 'twas a song of
love.
And 'midst It all was the rain-
bow's call
Telling one and telling alt
Of coming gentle April showers
That water seeds of sweet May
flowers.

To Seniors of 47 High
McCraw Speaks To
Student Body
One of the most interesting and the
cleverest speakers to be introduced to
a Howard Payne student body was the
guest speaker in chapel Monday morn-
ing. This speaker was William Mc-
Craw Attorney General of Texas.'
Urging that each student make the
most of his opportunities while in
Howard Payne McCraw one of the
outstanding Baptist laymen of the
state told of the wonderful oppor-
tunities that are open to those who at-
tend institutions of higher learning.
McCraw stressed the changing of
the times and urged that we adjust
ourselves to these changes. He also
referred to the problem of the wel-
fare of our neighbor showing how we
as the teachers of tomorrow can play
a large part in solving this problem.
In closing the Attorney General ex-
horted the students to be leaders
spending some time thinking of good
government and be missionaries of
good government.
ine speaKer is expected 10 an-
nounce his candidacy for governor of
Texas soon.
Monday evening he addressee1 the
Brotherhood meeting of the First Bap-
tist Church.
"No man can be the judge of your
religion or mine. We should be more
concerned about the opinion we have
of ourselves than about the opinion of
some one else" Attorney General Wil-
liam McCraw said in addressing a
Baptist Brotherhood meeting In First
Baptist Church Monday night.
"See to it that every man and wo-
man -knows the story of the church.
Let them come and hear" he contin-
ued. "Some people feel that they do
not need religion. They perform their
civic and business duties faithfully
but they fall far short if they fail to
take advantage of the church. Human
beings often do not think of death
until the shadows begin to fall. Sure-
ly any church whose doctrine is good
enough to die by is good enough to
live by."
E. J. Woodward Brotherhood pres-
ident presided at the meeting. The
speaker was introduced by Ralph B.
Griffin. Brownwood High School
Mixed Chorus directed by Miss Fran-
ces Merritt and Howard Payne Col-
lege trio sang several selections.
