VOL. XXII
STEPHENVILLE, TEXAS, TUESDAY, JUNE 22, 1943
NUMBER- 29
I would like to take advantage of
ray first opportunity to welcome to
the campus both the students living
in town and those living'in the dor-
mitories. The school places before
you, as it has placed before us, op-
portunities, happiness, and success
for you to grasp to the best of
your ability.
After talking- to several of the
n,ew students, I have some idea of
the freshman's outlook on Tarleton
which I would like to pass on to
'.you.:
■Carrie Lou Eaton sincerely says,
/ "One of the things I like about Tar-
Moil best is: the way the students
have a say about things; and if we
want to have something like Sadie
Hawkins Week. Being on your hon-
or : and being trusted makes you
Want to do right. That way, you.
can have more fun—and that, Tar-
lefjon has a lot. All in all, I think
Tarleton really is a swell : and
friendly place."
After quite a bit of consideration
arid concent^a„te cl cogitating,
"Pinky" Winn expresses, hjs opin-
ion, by saying, f'liike everybody be-
cause of their friendliness. The
school, is just large enough to get
around and have a lot of fun. As
for recreation, I really like to go to
all the dances. The upper class-
men are a swell Ibunch of kids and
■ well represent their rank."
Frances Eedwine Was eager to,
admit, "I like the size of the jschooL.
It is large enough to have fun; arid
small enough to know all the "kids"
on, the campus. I like the friendly
atmosphere and the recreation pro-;
vided by the college. The seniors
are likeable and treat, ■, the fresh-
men very nicely. It's tops as a jun-
ior college. ■
"Fish Bobby"Ggodgame was all
for the idea and stated, "What do
X think of Tfirletoh?: Personally,
,1 like it. The senio,rs,are a,ll swell,
/ arid the freshmen are—wellf just
fish. (I know, I am ope.) The
dances at -the Bee. Hall are more
fun, even if the heat is there too.
ft gives one the spirit tp got to
that four hour lab!. Seriously, I'm
enjoying my college days ,'more

Tarleton College
Singers To Give
Series pf Cantp Shows
The Tarleton College Singers un-
der the direction of Mr. R. Bertbn
Coffin, are working very hard to
get up a show to take to the Army
camps. The show put on last term
was quite a success, and all the
participants felt, good when they
aaw the reaction their show had'on
theboys in camp.
This show will be full of laughs,
%nd singing and a few pretty girls,
: There will be skits, blackouts, a
girls' trio and several Fred War-
ing choral arrangements for the
JTsrleton Singers.
Zealand Enthusiasm
Manifested in Speech
Arts Department
Students of the Speech Depart-
ment, both freshmen and seniors,
are starting their summer's work
with added zeal and enthusiasm.
The Speech Club, of which Jack
Moore is president, met recently
and presented a most interesting
program. The cl&b is for the pur-
pose of giving the ambitious ^stu-
dent ample opportunity of receiv-
ing additional , experience in ap-.
pearing befqke an audience. Since
speech training is recognized as, a
most vital, part of the Officer
Training Program, of the .various
branches of the • service, including'
the Army, Navy, and Air Corps,
the Tarleton cadets are taking ad-
vantage of the speech facilities at
the, college in order to be able to
function more efficiently in the
war program.
Marjorie Whitfield, a freshman
from Waco, appeared first on the
program with an Original imper-
sonation; Athol Longley, Stephen-
ville, gave an .interesting talk on
the war program offered by some
of the colleges' on the Eastern
Coast; Kenneth Shotts, a pre-law
student from 'Mineral Wells, talk-
ed 'da the
a't Camp. Welders; Francis- Eedwine
iai musical numbers, after which
the students engaged in a social
hour and refreshments were served..,
by Miss Lillard, head of the Speech
Department.
John Tarle ton's new physical fit-
ness program got underway last
week when some 100 plus boys
groped their ways sleepily down
the darkened halls of Davis Hall
and tumbled reluctantly on*° the
drill for, calisthenics.
Coach Wisdom's leaving left the
cadets without a physical instruc-
tor. The Military Department, un-
der the watchful eye of Captain
Jack D, McCullough, saw the need
for a toughening-up course. They
devised the new program, submitt-
ed it to Dean Davis for, approval,
and when given the "Co" signal,
immediately went to work.
The new program consists of fif-
teen minutes of calisthenics and
co-ordinating exercises; under the
instrUctorship of Sgt. Leonard F,
Elling, assistant PMS&T. Classes
are held at 6:10 a. m., Monday
through Saturdays; The fresh air
tends to wake up the students in
order that they might have the
full benefit of their classes.
Attendance has been good ac-
cording- to Captain McCullough
and, due to his newly organized
Lawn Mower Platoon, i3 expected
to be better in the future.
Dear Freshmen:
So far you freshmen would have
been a pride to any school! We, the
upperclassmen, have great hopes
for you in the future, simply be-
cause of the spirit you have shown
all over the campus and particular-
ly, your spirit in regard to dancing
in' the "Eec", Hall.■ ,
< The "Eec" .Hall has been on the
campus of John" Tarleton fpr nine
years; The students here have only
been allowed to dance for ten years;
The first dance was before the
Christmas holidays in 1933 at the
gym. The following, year the "Bee"
Hall was erected for your pleasure.
You can see that it is a privilege
for us to be using- the "Eec" Hall
at our will. If you freshmen will
use the "Eec" Hall freely and take
care of it, this privilege will never
be taken from you.
, We want to stress to the fresli-
men that this hall is for your use
just as it, is to the. boys.; It is your
hall too! , , :
: .Since summer school started]
some of you have not missed a day
dancings iThisfrdahcing^showij'^the
best spirit; for usually this dies
down after the first week of school.
Freshmen, tjiis is. from an experi-
enced person, please do not stop
this; for when you do your spirit
will be dying.
Rem,ember that the "Eec" Hall is
always at your disposal, but be
sure, you take care of it.—Yours
truly, A Senior,
Oil is now Obtained from the rag-
wood weed. ,
