A TARLETON ALUMNI
IS A LEADER AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS
. <
Tarleton students and faculty
are very glad to note the recog-
nition accorded Cecil Chamberlin
in the Alcalde, the official maga-
zine of the ex-students of Texas.
Cecil Chamberlin, son of Mr.
and Mrs. W. Chamberlin of Ste-
phenville, Texas has in some
way won the right to that phrase
which, savors of the novelsque
and romantie, he has been called
among students, 'The biggest man
in school.'. Chambe'rlijri's size
and looks are themselves impos-
ing in an agreeable fashion, but
it is his ability as a speaker
which brings him instant recog-
nition- He is the best extempore
speaker in the University and has
won numerous prizes. He is the
holder of a B, A degree and next
year will receive) both a masters
of arts degree and a law degree
from the University. He has
served on the Men's Council and
was chairman of the Council one
summer, and besides taking part
in innumerable activities of mod-
erately small compass, he has
taken part in all. the larger efforts
. of the University students, hold-
ing ; a ,,,promij)ieni-: jaJfice tlje
Fortieth "Anniversary Celebration'
Committee, the viee chairmanship
in the Memorial Union Drive, and
is a present member of the Cen-
tral Stattfum Committee, and one
of the -most prominent workers
in it. He is a member of the
Delta Theta Phi Fraternity and
a member of, many honorary or-
ganizations on the campus.
His self-possession, competent
manner, and great ease in speak-
ing are the" qualities which have
done most to bring him success.
He is the Wort of student that all
students have heard of and whose
name is mentioned respectfully.
His leadership is that of a man
away from the- crowd and one
to be heeded rather than that
of a man of the crowd to be fol-
lowed.
THE MOST POPULAR
BOY AND GIRL
Last Wednesday in chapel the
most popular boy and girl race
was run. ,Cecil Butler, and Es-
ffcelle Gibbs were representing the
juniors and Bill Eay and, Merle
Williams represented the seniors.
Those who wanted the juniors to
win gathered on one side and
the others were on the senior
side. Brother Culpepper auction-
ed them off. It resembled a
scene during a panic in the' New
York Stock Exchange. At the
end of the election it proved Cecil
Butler the most popular boy and
Merle Williams the' most popular
girl. However there was some
mistake made and the following
Monday the election was held
again. This time Merle Williams
again won and Bill Kay was
voted the most popular boy.
The student body was honored
by having Mr. Dawson speak to
them in chapel, March 25. He
said, "He didn't have much to
say but the. U- S. Department of
Highway "Education would give
to any freshman or sophomore
their expenses through four years
of school provided they won a
certain prize. The prize > is the
one- who .writes the three best
essays."""' 'l^hia Wouldn't1 tdce mu^h
work and we hope that these
classes will not let this chance
pass by.
MANUAL ARTS NOTES
The writer has been advised that
the total enrollment of the manual
arts department is 271. This in-
cludes mechanical drawing, carpent-
ery, woodshop, auto mechanics, etc.
The annual exhibit will consist of
work from all the manual arts de-
partments and will be placed on dis-
play down town at the end of the
present term. Among them will be
the handsome dining- room suite now
in the process of construction.
The earpentery class is building a
six room house two blacks from the
campus. It is to have all the mod-
ern conveniences. Mr. Chas, Neblett
will be the owner,
The students in the advanced draw-
ing classes are getting out a complete
set of plans for the new public li-
brary.^ The plans will be given gratis
to the 20th-century Club ladies and
will constitute a saving of $200 or
more to the club.
Mr. Peavey reports that the auto
mechanics department has repaired
and rebuilt a number of cars this
year.
The wood shop has a number of
nicely finished taborets and a cedar
chest for sale.
An explanation in time may save
nine—demerits.

THE SENIOR CARNIVAL
Friday night the writer "took
in" the Senior Carnival and en-
joyed himself very much while
present.
Every nation on the globe was
represented. Some, especially
the mullatos, seemed to have sent
a large delegation. There were:jel
lies, Rudolphs, chinks, negroes,
Indians, Spaniards, French maids
and many other .novel costumes,
it was a good clean time, the
Gold Dust Twins being present.
The seniors had booths about
the floor, selling everything from
ice cream to "looks." Free red
lemonade was served. This
booth did a thriving business.
The grand march was a great
success. The Virginia Reel was1
fine and we all enjoyed it very
much. After the- dance was over
prizes were awarded to the best
costumes.
Captain Sledge and "Hookum"
Shaw put on a fight for the spec-
tators. No decision as to the
outcome.
The negro minstrel also" was
very good. We hope the seniors
took in all the money they needed
for their purpose. .
First Darky: '"We're going to have
.14 scorea before ihs gu n? is nver."
Secpnd Darky: "Don't count de
chickens befo' da hatch."
First Darkie: Don't say dat, dat
is too common, say: "Do not enumer-
ate your jouvenile poultry interior to
the inferior of the incubation.'
HONORS FOR TARLETON'S
ALUMNI
A new bulletin has been recently
published by Mr. El. A. Funkhouser,
P. S., entitled Projects In Farm Me-
chanics. Mr. Funkhouser deserves
much praise for such a useful work.
Every now and then we pick up a
paper from somewhere and see men-
tioned the name of a former student
of Tarleton who is making good in
his later field work. Two such items
have come under our notice during
the week. The Daily Texan carried
a picture of Clinton E. Burnett as
the newly elected president of the Y.
M. C. A, at the State University.
Clinton is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
J. E. Burnett, of the Stephenville
Ward School. He graduated from
Tarleton in 1920, and taught suc-
cessfully in Wichita Falls until he
left that position, to begin the study
of law in the State University. This
is his second year at Austin, and the
fact that he has been elected to this
important office speaks well for his
conduct since entering the University.
Clinton was a good all-round student
at Tarleton, a member of the baseball
team and active, in other student or-
ganizations. We are glad to hear that
the University people have found out
what good material he is made of,
and that they are using his splendid
abilities.
The second notice was an article
that appeared in the March number
of The Alcalde, concerning Cecil
Chamberlin, Cecil graduated from
Tarleton in 1918, and after serving in
the army for a short time and teach-
ing two schools, entered the State
University and tok his A. B. degree
there in 1922, and at once entered
the law school. The article mention-
ed him as one of the outstanding men
in the University.
THIRTEEN CLUB BANQUET
On Thursday night, March 13, 1923,
the 13 Club of John Tarleton gave its
first social event of the season in the
form of a banquet which was held at
the Mecca Cafe. The Cafe was
beautifully decorated in purple and
white, the school colors, with flowers
thoughtfully arranged over the en-
tire room.
Mr. Earl Cox, the president of the
club, opened the banquet with an ad-
dress of welcome and a toast to the
club. This opening speech and toast
was folowed by a toast given by each
member of the club, after which each
young lady present was asked to give
a speech or a toast.
The prize toasts of the evening
went to Dr. and Mrs. Scott, the fac-
ulty advisers of the club.
Those, present were: Misses Ann
Ferguson, Katis George Parker,,
Grace Roberson, Nevil Nowlin, Lucile
Neblett, Estelle GiGfcbs, Hattie Davis,
Hazel Sanders, Verna Ruth Black,
Cecil Gibbs, Eloise Bennett, Margaret,
Mingus, Carroll Cox; Messrs. Earl
Cox, S. B. Culpepper, Grady Graves,
Robert Mallard, Bob Edwards, Will-
son Davis, James Houser, Bert Wat-
son, Lambuth sellers, Leonard Ben-
nett, Lee Jones, Robert Jones, Carrpll
Stover and Dr. and Mrs. Vern A.
Scott. Mr. Bobbie Ferguson, who
was out of town, was the only mem-
ber of the club not present.
JUST FUTURE DREAMS OF TAR-
LETON
Here I sit in my window, at the Dump,
and there arises in my throat—such
a lump.
The music coming faintly from the
conservatory,
Invites the dream, that I will climb
the ladder of fame and glory.
When we leave this dear school we
will go out alone,
Yet not alone, for there will always
be old Tarleton's spirit to atone.
When we have gained great wealth,
and are at pleasure,
We will still find old Tarleton memo-
ries—a treasure.
When we have lived our life, grown
old arid gray,
We will love to visit old Tarleton,
where the students are still full of
pep, and so gay,
There will be the same grass-covered
lawn, but alas! with many a monu-
ment bright,
Over which will wave old Tarleton's
colors, the purple and the white.
The Howard Payne College base-
ball team will come to Tarleton for
two games Friday and Saturday,
March 28 and 29, Friday's game is
scheduled to be called at four o'clock
sharp, and Saturday's game at three-
thirty sharp. We split with Daniel
Baker the first of the week in two
games, and will make an effort to
win again from Howard Payne, a
Senior College, and one of the strong-
est in the T. I. A. A.
Tarleton's new men are showing
good form and the gang is going to
hit the ball better this season than
ever before.
The management wishes to an-
nounce that a new arrangement has
been made whereby tickets must be
presented at the east gate, rear of
Gymnasium. No other gates open.
BAND PROGRAM FROM TAR-
LETON THROUGH W. B. A, P.
Barney clasped her hand in loving
passion, as he knelt upon the floor.
.He looked into her loving eyes and
said "Oh, m-m-rtiama, my p-p-pants
is t-t-tore.
We understand that the farm
has a healthy' crop of young pigs
now. Jack Allen, owner of one of
the local meat markets gave the
farm one pure bred Hampshire
boar. Dr. Bizzell has been very
desirous for some time that the
farm have Hampshire hogs, since
they are reported to be very de-
sirable bacon hogs for our section.
With such encouragement as this
we hope to have quite a little herd
by the time the president visits
us again.
Sunday afternoon the Express
company unloaded several boxes
in front of the "gym." Later two
gentlemen from the Southwestern^
Bell'Telephone Co., at Dallas, ar-
rived. They carried the boxes in
and about 6:30 in the afternoon
the set was in running order.
The local telephone company
made connections with the gym
and the line was tested and pro-
nounced O- K.
Monday night at 7:30 the Tar-
Mon-band; camej e,n the alage a",
the gym. Miss Estelle Gibbs,
sponsor of the band, was pre-
sented with a beautiful boquet
of roses.
Announcer G. C. A;- presided
over the program. He told some
of the history of Tarleton and
its achievements.
The band played a number of
pieces, among them being Hutoi-
oresque, Magnolia Blossom, Tar-
leton Farjever, Cupids Charm,
and closed with 'On Ye Tarleton.'
The band did very fine work. The
best the writer has ever heard it
do.
The Girls' Glee club also ren-
dered several selections, among
them being ' Ole' Uncle Moon,"
and for the closing piece, sang
"On Ye Tarleton" with the band.
Many telegrams were received
from various points, one coming
from Hastings, Nebraska. Sev-
eral telephone calls from distant
points were also received.
This is the first remote con-
trol program ever staged in the
state of Texas. We owe a vote
of thanks to the Star-Telegram,
the band and announcer, G. C. A.
for making possible this fine pro-
gram.
DONATION TO THE
POULTRY DEPARTMENT
We received one incubator from
the Reliable Incubator Co. of
Quincy, Illinois. We also receiv-
ed another from the Experiment
Station, at College Station, Texas-
Both of these are very good and
are appreciated by the department
very much. These are the first
that we have operated here.
We received a pen of ten Whitei
Leghorns from Mr. P. E. Payne
of Stephenville, also a pen of six
S. C. Rhode Island) Reds from Mt.
E. H. Boyett of Carbon, Texas.
The hens of both of these pens
are being trapnested and are mak-
ing some excellent records.
"White man to Darkie: "Say Rastus,
don't burn that grass, it will be as
black as you are."
Darkie: "Never mind boss it will
soon come out and be as green as
you is."
