For a little variety a short
short story thrown together In
odd moments:
He stood on the
chip's dock us It
.steamed slowly
out of New York
h.ubor and he looked up at the
Statue of Libel ty. It wus a noble
sight sti etching up against tile pale
blue of the curly morning sky.
Stretching towntd God ho thought.
My countiy guvc the United Stutes
Unit old gill he mused. However he
remembered he had no country now.
His Fiance was dead buiied beneuth
the biutal boots of the Nuzis.
He gazed hungrily at the statue
drinking in ills last view of America
and thought of his six month's stay
in the states. He hud never dreamed
ot such a place. But his stay was
up; his pusspoit only allowed him six
months ol this paradise. And now lie
had to go back.
He lemembeied the night he stood
on Times Square with hundieds of
people bustling around him. It hud
been New Year's Eve and a great
paiade of bands and giant giotesque
liguies ol Mickey Mouse and Popeye
marched down the stteets. A young-
ster hud chipped him on the back
and called "Happy New Year Mis-
ter." Betoie he could reply the kid
had raced otf to follow the paiade.
And he was stiangcly huppy until his
eye caught the glitteiing headlines
running mound the side ot the New
Yolk Times building. "24 British
Planes Shot Down" it read and It
all hud come buck to him then.
He hud always wanted to see
America befoie he died. Death . . .
what a woid! That was what await-
ed him on the other side of the At-
lantic. He knew what would huppen
to him. The same fute that was his
lathei's his older brother's. They
hud all been too indlcal under the
new Getinun rule. He thought of the
Bluett Shiit he had clubbed to death
the night he had lett France. They
knew he had gone to Ameiica and
they would be waiting lot him when
the bout docked. Deuth held no fear
for him. He wus a defeated man; lie
was returning to a firing squad.
And then tiieie was the night he
walked to the East Hlver biidge and
looketl off at the twinkling lights of
the tugs shining up thiough the
mutky darkness. Odd suicide hud
never occuired to him then. He was
too satisfied with his last vacation.
As he passed a confection stand
he heaid the laughter of young peo-
ple and went In. It was good to hear
young people laugh. It was good to
see them happy and catefree. The
youth back home . . ah but he
mustn't think of returning now. One
of the boys saw his state and smiled
ut him and he found himself smiling
back. He sipped his coke und was
contented until he found an urticle
in a discurded newspaper which told
of starving families in Fiance. He
hud walked the streets all night that
night. He listened to soap box ora-
tois slamming the government in the
purl; und he smiled grimly as he

"What Is there In a name?" Well
we won't go Into that for it is ad-
mittedly a conttoversiul Issue from
which wise people slither away.
tJi anted that theie may be all of u
i cntury or two of accumulated family
ptide in sir names; still there is all
of a bai rol or two of humor in a nick-
name. We seem to have an abund-
unco of these diminutive titles
sprinkled over our campus -somo of
them with origin known and some of
them with origin unknown some of
them recently acquired and some of
them as "old as the hills" or should
one say the owner?
Who on the campus takes time to
say James Davis when the handy
little title "Rosy" summons him
from tho four corners of the room
(especially If spoken in tho accents
of one softspoken Betty Jane Hill.)
Now it could ho his colorful hair or
it could he the rusty polkdots hap-
hazardly located over the genial
countenanco that prompted the nick-
name but Information comes from
a reliable souice that ho acquired
the title because of a complexion
that neon-lighted into flushed hues.

CAMPUS PERSONALITY-
Wheeler Is Important
In Campus Journalism
Don't bo surprised If you wake up
.some night with an attractive girl
bending over your shoulder with pen-
ill po.'cd above u pud. Don't be
alarmed if tills same bundle of per-
lonullty hues you uwuy In some se-
cluded spot of the campus and starts
popping questions.
No it Is journalist Joyce Marie
Wheeler doing her weekly job of fea-
luie writing a job which she loves.
But neighbors of the Wheelers
some nineteen years ago thought the
)oung lady hud aspirations toward
jell lending us a life's woik. Harmon
was u quiet little Texas town until
Joyce arrived ('tis rumored she could
use a typewriter before she could
talk). But the Wheelers were never
long to tarry In one place. In rapid
succession Joyce moved to Gates-
ille Stnr Sulphur Springs Paint
Rock Cluy Rock Lometa and Lon-
don. Perhaps It was in these early wan-
derings of her youth that Miss
Wheeler acquired a lovo for journal-
ist Anyway her freshman year in
high school found her toiling nights
for the sake of tire dear old Lometa
High Semi-Monthly Gazette and
r-Irving us president of her class.
Essay writing naturally drew tho
tittentlon of this llterary-mlndcd lass
und sho won state honors in the In-
terscholastic League essay division
for three yenrs. Sho was graduated
from London High School in 1938 as
valedictorian of the local senior class.
Her closest friend former HPC stu-
dent Jean Stephens won her to How-
urd Payne.

of Howatd Payne" confessed Joyce
Daniel Ericourt
Is World Famous
Concert Is Second
Of B'wood Series
BY JOHN BELSEY
Jacket Managing Editor
Daniel Ericourt brilliant young
French musician will be presented
in a recital by the Brownwood Co-
operative Concert Association at the
Howatd Payne Auditorium Friday
night at 8:00 p. in. in the second of
a series of thtee concerts. The Don
Cossack Choi us was presented at
the Hi st concert of this series.
Howard Payne students for the
second time this semester will be ad-
mitted on presentation of their
blanket taxeB.
Mr. Ericourt was born near PariB
France. His Interest in the piano was
manifested at the age of six and he
was admitted to the Paris Conserva-
toire of music at tho age of nine.
He was graduated from the Con-
servatoire when sixteen after hav-
ing studied under such teachers as
Santiago Rlera Roger Ducasse and
Nadlu Boulangcr.
The Diemer Award one of the
highest honors which can be paid to
a pianist of any nationality was
given to Ericourt when he was an
officer in the French army.
While still very young the pianist
played with such world famous musi-
cians and composers as Debussey
Ravel Stravinsky and Honegger.
The young French artist Is a com-
poser of distinction and has reveal-
t'd a remarkable understanding of'
tho depth and resources of the piano
Admirable clarity and facility are
clearly expressed in Ericourt's com-
positions. Among his notable pieces
arc Fantulsie Preludlo Sarabande
Coi rente nnd Piece En Forme de
Rag.
Paris London Berlin Brussels
Vienna Budapest The Hague and
ninny other centers of classical
music thtoughout Europe and the
United States have been visited by
Kiicourt in his concert tours.
Two piano recitals were given by
the musician in New York and he
has recently appeared with the De-
tioit Cleveland Cincinnati San
Francisco Portland National and
New York Philharmonic Symphony
Orchestras. Ericourt was featured
with Lily Pons at the opening of the
Fiench pavilion of the New York
World's Fair In 1939.
"but I've long since changed my
mind."
She continued her publications
woik her first year on the campus
heiving on tho Lasso staff and act-
ing us secretury of the Press Club.
She wns nlso nominated for one of
the college beauties by the freshman
class.
1939 found Joyce filling the slot
of feature editor of the Yellow Jack-
et. Her work has made favorable im-
pression on journalists all over the
state.
Jnyco did publicity work for the
Brady Jubilee book-sized edition of
the Brady Heart 'Of Texas News last
summer. This year sho was secre-
tin)' of the junior class and vice-
president of tho Dramatic Club the
first semester.
Miss Wheeler Is a member of the
Alpha Chi honorary scholastic so-
ciety and reporter of the B. S. U.
She was nominated by her class as
one of the four junior nominees for
Lasso Favorite.
As for her likes she leans toward
butterscotch pudding Charles Boyer
fast-moving conversation and tralta
of initiative and broadmlndedness In
people. She doesn't like dark finger-
null polish and gossips. Her rather
odd hobby is keeping a mental
scrupbook of facial expressions.
Joyce has written scores of short
stories and of them she says "Tho
mote I read them the worse they
get." Her ambition is a career of
professional writing.
And It Is with a heavy heart that
we think ahead to the days when
Joyco Wheeler's features will no
longer spice the pages of the Yellow
Jacket.
