You know there is an old tradi-
tion around this school and this
tradition is called "school spirit."
School spirit applies to a lot of
things around a college campus,
and it is espe-
cially important
when there are
30 many athletic
events going Or..
Last Thursday
night we had a
footballgame and
the attendance
was goo d, but
Jt . ^something seem-
, • Bslh Russell to '3e mat-
lev with a lot of voices.
Didn't Care?
I don't know if everyone sud-
denly got a strong- cass of laryn-
gitis, or if they just didn't care
whether we won or whether Har*
din-Simmons won. That is a bad
situation to have in any school,-
especially in this school when we
have always had so much spirit,
■i There are about four boys in-
jured on the team, so it is up to
... the school to give that extra punch
to let the ones out there know that
J.they have the' school behind them.
Pep Rally
The cheerleaders are out there
to yell/ but I don't believe we
elected them to yell by themselves.
The next game is out of town,
but we will have a pep rally here
on Thursday before the game on
Saturday. It's important to every-
one of those boys on the football
team to know the student body
cares enough about winning to
warrant, their getting out there on
that field to win for the school.
Try it. I'm sure you will feel
a lot better to know you yelled in-
stead of just standing there kinda
mousey like.
Train or Bus
Nov. 3 is the Corps Trip. Big
doings have been planned if the
student body wants to participate.
There will be ai special train run
to San Angelo if enough students
want, to go. If only a small group
decides to go, then the school will
pr.ovide buses. This is a -big fea-
ture of football season, so it's up
to". you, the students, whether we
take the train or not.
$ pea king of the band, Mary
Gressett of Odessa has been chosen
the band sponsor for the 195(5-57
year. Mary is an elementary edu-
cation major, and has been in the
band both last year and this year.
Eddie Wesson Wins
Prediction Contest
■Eddie Wesson of Abilene won
the belt buckle which was dis-
played in the College Store as one
of the prizes to be awarded to the
prediction winner of the Pl'owboy-
Buttons game.
Wesson, a freshman, guessed a
score of 41-20 favor of TSC. The
Plowboys ran up a total of 44
points, the greatest number of
points scored by them since 1950
when they beat Cisco Jr. College,
54-6.
The winner is a graduate of
Abilene High School and is maj-
oring' in mechanical engineering.

VA Center Will
Begin Disbursement
The first dividend in ' ?5 vf rs
will be paid in 1957 to policyhold-
ers of 5-year term U.S. Govern-
ment Life Insurance, Dr. George
T, McMahan, manager of the Vet-
erans Administration Center in
Wfc.o, said today.
- He also revealed a $25,000,000
increase in the regular annual 1.957
div'dend for some 5.000,000 policy-
holders of National Service Life
Insurance (World War II). About
$210,000,000—a 18 per cent in-
crease over 1950—will be distrib-
uted.
The disbursement to holders of
World War I insurance, both term
and permanent plan noh'cies, will
amount to $26,000,000. Term pol-
icyholders have .not shared in a
dividend since 1932. A better trend
in mortality-and disability experi-
ence allowed payments this year.
Dr. McMahan stressed, that both
the World War I and World War
II insurance dividends are regular
annual dividends, not special divi-
dends. He said payments will be
made during 1957 on or about the
anniversary date of each policy,
beginning in January -and. ending
in December, 1957.
The VA manager requested pol-
icyholders not to inquire in ad-
vance about their dividend pay-
ments -so as not to delay the pro-
cessing time.
The only CI insurance policy-
holders who will not share in the
1957 dividends'are those who have
the non-participating post-Korea
' NSLI term and permanent plans,
Tiie law under which these policies
are issued prohibits the payment
of. dividends.
