BY BOBBIE HAMILTON
Having a little spare time one
rainy afternoon last week. I de-
cided to go over to the Library
and study for awhile you can
see that lt must have been spare
time if I was going to use it for
studying.
I trudged wearily over there-
regretting my drastic decision
every step of the way yet hating
to turn back. That would be so
cowardly yet I'll have to admit
that I'm kinda afraid of books
they are so much smarter than I
am (no remarks please). The
Library can be pretty interesting
sometimes tho' so I kept going
My spirits were revived some-
what before I reached the door
of the library and by that time
I was whistling a merry little
ditty "Rum and Coca Cola." This
attempt at cheerfulness however
met with very little appreciation
cause the tall red-headed libra-
rian gave out with a violent
"s-u-s-hll" My feellncs deenlv
hurt I lowered my head and al-
most cried In my beard.
My sorrow was of short dura

APOLOGIES TO
DARWIN BROWN
Our apologies to Rev. Darwin
Brown for the mistake made
concerning him in the last issue
of the Yellow Jacket in the arti-
cle about the newly organized
Veterans Club.
Darwin's name was not among
those listed as veterans of this
war. However this was not an
intentional slight his name was
in the original copy. Brown serv-
ed three years with the U. S.
Army and is a possessor of the
Purple Heart. He is a veteran of
both th Slceillan and Salerno
campaigns and truly Is one of
Howard Payne's war heroes.
Peaceful
tion tho'. and I decided to check
out a few English books with
which to console myself (and to
use for writing a theme). Four
books would be enough I finally
concluded they didn't have the
ones that I liked anyway no
pictures In these!!
It seems that some of my stu-
dious pals had the same Idea
about that little theme for sev-
eral of them were crowded
around a back table as far back
as possible. So of course I ioined
them knowing that that was a
sure way not to get any studying
done.
I sat down humming "This Is
My Shining Hour" only to be
rudely interrupted by a tap on
the shoulder that Red-headed
librarian again I! I stuck out my
tonguo at her but she gave me
a dirty look to top all dirty looks.
Needlessly to say I was properly
squelched for tho time beintr.
Before starting to study I de-
cided to see what was going on
with the other people In the li-
brary. Judging from appearances
cnoy seemea.to de just as stud-
ious as I. A'couple of "steadies"

the looks of things they were

Glancing on around the room I
saw one of our Intellectual giants
and what was he doing you
guessed lt sleeping!! I Just had
to giggle at that (besides he was
snoring with his mouth open)
which called forth another vio-
lent sush from the red-headed
librarian. I began to wonder if
perhaps she had a temper to ko
with that hair.
Looking farther I saw three
fish boys with their heads very
close together . . . Very studious
fellows I decided. On taking a
closer look I saw that the sub-
ject of their interest was the
latest Issue of "Lotta Balony

I came over here for to write
a theme.
So I took my four books look-
ed up the subjects in question
(my subjects are always In
question as to whether they are
right or not) and then spread
them all out In front of mo. A
most confusing mess I decided.
Which to use first that was the
problem. Eeny mlny moe I
counted off. And thus made a
very wise and intellectual choice
(please let me brag on me no
one else does.) Book In hand I
wrote the title of the themo on
the top line of the page "Why
Burns Was Not A Flrey Poet."
"Let's finish up now; we're
going to close up in a few min
utes; it's almost four o'clock."
Thus saith the librarian and
thus wrecked my train of
thought ( it was a short train
tho Just a doodle-bug)
"Guess we'll have to go" I said
gathering up my books just as
I was getting started too!! It
just doesn't pay to study in the
library I thought as I left the
room that red-headed librarian
is just too disturbing! I

War Veterans Present
Varsity Show At
Minis Auditorium
With Jimmy Jefferles of "Early
Bird" fame acting as Master of
Ceremonies the Brownwood
Post of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars presented a thrilling and
entertaining show at the Mlms
Hall Monday night.
Perhaps the highlight of the
show was Eddie former featured
vocalist with the Frankie Mas-
ters band and currently the star
or tne interstate Theater Week-
ly Show entitled "Showtime"
heard each Sunday afternoon
over WBAP and WFAA at 2:30.
The boy Is still in high school in
Dallas but is a crooner ala Sin-
atra style. He is a typical mati-
nee idol with the usual ballad
style vocals and the tall dark
and handsome features so ad-
mired by tho Bobby Sox. His ren-
ditions of "Always" struck me as
the best of the evening but his
gaudy handling of "Whispering"
was a little on the Clamb bake
side due to the fact that he got
one encore too many and hand-
led the vocals verv awkwnrHw
The boy Is destined to become a
star or pictures and reminds me
of a young skinny fellow of a
few years back who was vocal-
izing with the Tommy Dorsey
band that's right girls another
Frankie.
The other acts were pretty
good except the Black Face act
which proved to me why Vaude-
vlllo is dead. The dance team of
two young Dallas children struck
me as being pretty good but
they were a little too young. Tho
tumbling act which was featur-
ed in "Thousands Cheer" was
really good but was like all
