r The Tarleton State College
Texan Band reminded us of vari-
ous interesting summer pleasures
at the half-time of the TSC-
SWTSC game Saturday.
Entering in two diamonds to
the music of "Giant", the band
, then did a precision step to "La
Sorrella" in honor of Dr. Grant's
summer European tour. It then
■ moved to Broadway where Eddie
Cantor's face was outlined as the
band played "Eta" and featured
the majorette corps.
Staying' on Broadway for a live
show of the "Music Man", "Sev-
enty-Six Trombones complete
with moving slide was used next.
The band then moved to a revolv-
ing world vvith a "T" on top stat-
ing "now that we're back at Tar-
leton, 'We're Sitting on Top of
the World'."

last Tuesday afternoon this pre-
viously held record was broken
when total enrollment reached
1.436.
The one thousandth four hun-
dred forty-sixth student to en-
roll at TSC was Judy Harwell, 20
year old sophomore transfer from
Weatherford Junior College.
Judy, entering the Registrar's
office to begin enrollment proceed-
ings Tuesday, was informed she
might be the student to break the
enrollment record held here for
16 years.
When it became certain Misri
Harwell said, "It was a good feel-
ing when Registrar Chilton told
me I might be this particular stu-
dent, but I didn't know for sure
until called for an interview Thurs-
day."
Judy had several reasons for
choosing the Stephenville college.
"I had completed most of the
courses possible for me to take
for my major at Weatherford and
when I moved to Mineral Wells
just a few weeks ago, I decided
to look over the Tarleton campus.
The atmosphere and reception I
found here v/as one of the decid-
ing factoi'S, but, also since I am a
Biology major, I was influenced
by the commendable reputation of
the TSC Science Department."
Judy has a commendable reputa-
tion of her own, for while attend-
ing Weatherford Junior College,
she not only maintained a B plus
average, but was a member of tile
Phi Theta Kappa, honor sorority.
Her recipe for good grades is sim-
ple — "I just like to study, and
have an average of 18 hours per
F.emester."
Miss Harwell was chosen by the
science faculty of WJC as a mem-
ber of the National Science Foun-
dation Tour, which visited the cam-
puses of North Texas State Uni-
versity, and Texas Women's Uni-
versity.
Judy is. jthe daughter of Mrs
Stella Morgan and originally from
Santo, Texas. In ten years she has
not had any unexcused absences
from school.
Planning to graduate here Miss
Judy Harwell is being congratu-
lated by the J-TAC for being
Tarieton's 1,456th student.
At present the percentage of
increase over last year's total has
not reached 10% with enrollment
by classes having increased as of
yesterday morning to Freshmen,
S19; Sophomores, 369; Junior, 119;
Seniors, 58; and Special Students,
115'.

Tarleton has been hit. Not wtih
a bomb, tornado or anything so
minor. Tarleton has been hit with
an epidemic of sneezes, sniffs, and
tore throats. If-you don't think .it
is major just ask some of the stu-
dents that have taken ill. Sharon
Clark spent a few days in the
Health Center and Brenda Steele
could hardly speak. But they were
not the only ones by any means.

Last Thursday's pep rally was
the best that TSC has seen in a
good while. The freshmen boys
and girls proved they had school
spirit by attending and giving it
all they had. The upperclassmen
also did their part. It proved that
Tarleton has not lost its spirit.
Several of the upperclassmen were
crying when the freshmen came
charging1 out of the girls dorm.
Pat Wright, Linda lYarbrough.
•Barbara Wright, Cherri Barton,
and Angel Degges agreed though
they had been at Tarleton only two
weeks it still meant a great deal
to them_ . ^
The new cheerleaders Diane
Forney, Linda Hastings, Reggie
Crosby, and Johnny Onstott look-
ed very sharp with only a few
days training behind them.

■ Tests are underway again as
some of the students have their
first quizzes under their new pro-
fessors. A quiet place to study, is
not always easy to find but Linda
Brawner found a place that she
liked. Linda was in the tub with
a pillow, wearing her hat from the
pep rally and her physiology book
trying to study for Miss Pitt-
man's quiz.

If you see Jeanne Wood in the
dining hall looking like she took
a shower without a shower cap,
you can bet she has just gotten
out of swimming class. Helen Mc-
Cleskey says she is a lousy bowl-
er, but you should see the strikes
she manages to get in her bowling
class. Johnny Findeisen took one
look at the food in the chow hall
Friday and decided he was not as
hungry as he thought. If you see
Sue Roy with gum on the back of
her skirt, you will know she just
hasn't been able to get it off the
dress she wore to the first foot-
ball game. She somehow managed
to plop on top of a blob of chewed

question
The J-TAC became curious
about student's opinions regard®
ing Thursday night's spirit-stii>
ring pep rally. The answers wore
both varied and definite, Howevev,
the majority agreed that the Tex-
ans were well supported.
Sharon Clark: "The freshmen,
being the spirit of the school, mada
a great stand for the continuation
of our school spirit. All upper-
ilassmen can learn a lesson from
these true Tarletonites."
Roy Baldridge: "I thought tha
twirlers were real good."
Linda Patterson; "The sidewallf
sure was dusty. I nearly choked
while praising Oscar P. How abOl*$
sweeping it next time?"
Garth Priddy: "I didn't like IS
because the Pish didn't have t®
do anything."
Dave Addison: "I was behind
the football field and I heard it."
Leonard Piel: "I think it w?3
better than the first pep rally,
but it could be improved by having
the Pish dress up as in previous
years. I think the Fish should all
have to attend. On the whole,
though, I enjoyed it."
Brenda Steele: "I think ifc was
great the way the Fish girls took
over without the upper-elassmeB
forcing them.
James IVIcDaniel: "It was real
good, but keep the freshmen oil
the ground!"
Ronnie Cosper; "I thought
everyone showed a marked itl
crease in School spirit."
Bill Henderson: "It had a let
of spirit, but I with they would
get the same spirit that they had
a couple of years ago."
