Spratt and Clarke Win
All-Tdrietonlte Titles
Two of Tarleton's outstanding
students were selected school fa-
vorites Tuesday by their -class-
mates in an election held in the
Rec Hall The boy and girl, Elwin"
Clarke and Sue Spratt, were given'
the title of All-Tarleton Boy and
AU-Tarleton Girl. Each of their
pictures will cover a full page in
the 1951. Gras'sburr.
Breckenridge-born Sue Spratt
has been an active participant in
Tarleton activities for the past two
years. During the fall semester
last year the brown haired girl
pledged D.S.T, social club and was
this year elected president of that
club,
Majoring in social science, she
was a member of the Scholarship
Society during the first semester
last year with a grade point ratio
of 2.41. She was military editor
on the J-Tac staff, a member and
reporter of the Square Dance
Club, and secretary of the Canter-,
bury Club last year.
Last year the 5'-5", fair-skinned
girl was the Tarleton representa-
tive at the Ranger Junior College
Queen Coronation. Another honor
in her long list is her representa-
tion in a beauty contest held' at
the 'TIPA convention, college jour-
nalism convention, last spring. She
was named in the top five,in the
contest which was held at North
Texas State. College.
This year Sue is president of the
DST's, reporter for the "A.W.S.
Council, and a member of the
Canterbury Club. One of our most
efficient cheer leaders this year,
she was elected to that office last
spring- at the end of the spring
semester.
. While attending Breckemidge
High School she was a member of
the, high school band, junior class
treasurer, president of the Dra-
matics Club during her senior
year.
During her high school career
Sue was outstanding in dramatics
and went to the state finals of the
Interscholastic League contests in
declamation. She was named best
actress .at the regional one-act play
contest ■ of the Interscholastic
League during- her senior year.
Her attractive hazel eyes looked
puzzled as she said she was unde-
cided as to where she would go
next year. She said probably it
would be either Texas University
or North Texas State College. She
plans to change her major field, to
either drama or journalism.
Elwin Clarke, a petroleum engi-
neering major from Beeville,- has
been elected the male All-Tarleton
candidate.
During his high school days,
Elwin was a member of the Li-
brary Club, band, track team and
the basketball squad. While a sen-
ior at Beeville High he was vice-
president of the senior class, he
was voted most likely to succeed,
and he, was one of five students
listed in the class Who's Who.
Upon entering Tarleton, Clarke
became a member of the Barons,
the Scholarship Society, and the
Military Band. He was a sergeant
during his freshman year.
This year's activities include be-
ing treasurer of the Barons, secre-
tary of the Officers Club, member
of the Scholarship Society, and
president of the Student Council.
Elwin is also a member of the
Symphonic Band and a lieutenant
colonel in the Military Band;
Elwin's plans for the future are
undecided, however, he plans to
attend either Texas A&M or Texas
Tech.

200 Careers on
Tap '/at Library
Detailed information on 200
possible careers are available to
Tarleton students as part of Tar-
leton's teacher-counseling program'
to help students decide what they
want to do with their lives.
Dean Paul Cunyus said last
week that the information on
various vocations, which is cur-
rently being featured in a library
display, gives both teacher-coun-
selors and students- a chance to
see what is available for him in
the field of his choice.
The display, which occupies a
prominent .place on the east wall
of the reading' room, includes over
150 booklets prepared by the In-
stitute of Research in Chicago,
and almost equal number publish-
ed under the "American Job Se-
ries/' and a number of volumes
8n career-choosing and vocations.
Any of the material may be
checked out. "We make no effort
to see that any remains at the
case at any time," Miss Bettie Sue
Todd, assistant librarian in charge
of serials, said, "Students may
check out any quantity they de-
sire for the regular time period."
Booklets and information are
present on such widely varying
fields as. public health, labor rela-
tions, mechanical engineering, FBI
work, merchandising, animal hus-
bandry and accounting.
Dean Cunyus said that Tarleton
could offer its program of student
guidance only because of the high
student-teacher ratio (one teacher
for every 25 students, approxi-
mately). Such a program allows
the teacher-counsel to know his
students intimately and to be able
to advif,^ them on varieties of
problems, the dean added.
Division of Fine Arts, and all other
students, to the Division of Arts
and Sciences.
Each division head or his rep-
resentative will-assign sections for
courses under the direct control of
his division; but students will go
to other departments for section-
izing |n other courses.
After being sectionized for his
major courses, the students will
proceed'to the other-departments
in this order: military science,
home economics, journalism, mod-
ern language, physics (engineer-
ing division), sociology, speech,
biology, geology, business admin-
istration, economics, history and
government, education, mathemat-
ics, English, chemistry, freshman
orientation, and physical educa-
tion.
Students complete their regis-
tration by taking their assignment
cards and one copy of their sched-
ule card to the Registrar's Office.
After that, they are free to obtain
text books at the College Store.

extra hours must first obtain ap-
proval of the registrar, who will

Those with 40 grade points may
register for five extra hours.
