NEW
BOENICKE MUSEUM DONATED
TO HOWARD PAYNE COLLEGE
ADDITIONAL COLLECTIONS MADE
The Boenicke Museum which was
recently donated to the college by Mr.
Boenicke of Coleman county on the
old gentleman's eightieth birthday is
one of the most valuable and rare col-
lections of its kind according to Pro-
fessor of Science O. E. Winebrenner.
The collection is valued at $15000
and the school is planning to con-
struct a building on the vacant lot ad-
joining the Science Hall -to house the
treasure. The materials from which
the building will be made have not
yet been decided upon but' the ad-
ministration has been thinking about
making the outside of rock venire
with the inside being composed of
sheet rock. The work will probably
be done in the early fall with the F.
E. R. boys doing the building.
Several additions have been made
to the Boenicke collection which arc
of great value. Dr. Davis Bible pro-
fessor has given two plumes of some
extinct bird that are valued at $1000
while Professor Winebrenner has re-
ceived quite a few specimens of rock
of various kinds from Texas Univer-
sity. The rocks are all of Texas ori-
gin and will be of decided interest to
alh who are interested in the growth
of the museum.
Chief of interest of the Boenicke
collection states Mr. Winebrenner
are the pelts and stuffed hides of the
animals of northern origin such as the
reindeer moose elk etc. These are
very valuable because of the fact that
the animals are becoming very diffi-
cult to find because of the ruthless-
ness of hunters who have just about
destroyed the specie.
Another thing of interest concern-
ing the collection is the large quan-
tity of arrow heads. These too are
becoming even more valuable than
they have formerly been because of
the fact that they are becoming very
scarce and hard to find.
It may be interesting to the reader
to know just how Mr. Boenicke was
able to get these valuable pelts and
animals from the far north while he
remained here in central Texas. He
would place an amount of money in
the -bank here and would send a state-
ment to some reliable bank in the
north that the money was here ready
for payment on the desired animal.
The northern bank would then get in
touch with a hunter who had one of
the required specie. The hunter then
would send the animal to Mr. Boe
PEP MEETINGS
BEGIN ON 17th
According to Melvin Parker head
yell leader pep meetings will begin
Tuesday September 17. This date
has been selected because there will
be plenty of time before the first
game on the twenty-first to work up
the kind of spirit that is expected of
all Howard Payne students and it will
give him plenty of time to select his
assistants and make the necessary
preparations for the meeting Parker
stated in a letter to the writer.
There will be either two or three
assistants one of whom will be a
freshman. Try-outs will be held in
the selection of the freshman leader
and Parker urges that as many of the
lower class who care to enter the con-
test will see him as soon as possible
so that a time may be set for the se-
lection. Parker also urges that all upper
classmen make the new comers ac-
quainted with the Importance of the
pep meetings on the Howard Payne
campus and that the highest possible
Interest be taken In the working up
of the best band pep squad and
cheering section that the school has
ever bad.
Further announcements concerning
the meetings and selection of leaders
will be announced In chapel as soon
aa possible the bead leader states.
COACHES BEGIN WORK
nlcke who would upon receiving the
pelt or hide in good shape as speci-
fied inform his banker to send the
money he had deposited with him to
the northern bank which would com-
pensate the hunter.
In this way the elderly gentleman
was able to get the exact specimen
that he desired to buy without fear of
fraud.
Mr. Winebrenner states that the
collection will be well taken care of
and it is urged that all students will
take great pride in helping in the
care of the museum by showing an
interest in the growth of the treasure
that many schools have tried to pur-
chase yet which Mr. Boenicke has
gladly donated to Howard Payne.
Lasso Plans Are
Completed for '35 Book
Jean Burleson editor of The Lasso
announces that the year book plans
are well under way and that the dum-
my for the book Is complete. Much
time and work has been spent during
the summer to make the 1936 Lasso
the largest and b"st year book that
has been put out in the history of the
college.
Picture taking will begin in the
near future with the various classes
given defnite days with definite hours
for every student who has the desire
to see themselves appearing in the
book.
The cost of the year book is cared
for in the regular fee at the beginning
of the school term. The cost of hav-
ing pictures in the book will not be
great and it is estimated that at least
ninety percent of the student body
will appear in the publication.

Many colleges orphanages and oth-
er worthy institutions of Texas were
deeply grieved Friday to hear of the
passing of Mrs. Mary C. Hardin at
her home in Burkburnett Thursday
evening. Mrs. Hardin who with her
husband Mr. John G. Hardin has do-
nated millions to schools and other
worthy institutions in Texas was 76
years of age at the time of her death.
Pulmonary hemmorages were the
cause of the death.
Mr. Hardin was in a Dallas Clinic
undergoing treatment Thursday night
when he beard of the death and left
immediately for Burkburnett.
Mr. and Mrs. Hardin have been liv-
ing in Burkburnett for many years.
It was here that Mrs. Hardin first
taught school her occupation when
she and Mr. Hardin met and were
married. The couple was wealthy

SPECIAL TRAIN
OBTAINED FOR
T. C. U. TRIP
A special train has been obtained
for the Howard Payne students and
fans for the trip to Fort Worth on
September 21 when the Jackets meet
the famed Texas Christian University
Frogs. The train will run over the
Frisco Lines and the rates are $2.15
with a two hundred passenger guar'
antee.
The students of the college have not
run a special for the past few years
and interest has seemed to be decreas-
ed because of this fact. However a
train is the only possible way that the
entire student body can go together
and the price on the special is much
more reasonable than that given by
the bus lines over which only a few
might go together.
Tickets for the train are being sold
by Lindsey Dublin Melvin Parker and
Bob English and all of the students
are urged to cooperate by getting
their receipts early so that the guar-
antee may be reached as soon as pos-
sible. The money must be raised and
placed on the barrel head before the
railroad company will be able to order
their coaches' and other needed equip-
ment out of Springfield. In order to
give the Frisco plenty of time to get
this equipment the guarantee must
be reached by Saturday of this week.
A letter received by this writer from
Raymond (Bear) Wolf athletic direc-
tor of T. C. U. stated that the Chris-
tian school was very glad to know
that the Howard Payne students were
planning to come in a body and that
if they so desired a special section of
the east stands on the fifty-yard line
would be reserved for the Brownwood
delegates. The usual price of the
games played by the Frogs is between
$1.00 and $2.00 but has been lowered
to a mere 50 cents to accommodate
the students.
According to Fort Worth newspa-
per reports and radio programs the
Frogs are supposed to find the Yellow

Burkburnett oil boom brought in un-
told riches.
With their great amount of money
these two elderly people have given
new life and courage to many Institu-
tions of learning. Howard Payne is
proud to be numbered among some six
schools that have a share of the Har-
din One Million Dollar Trust Fund.
Many other schools have felt the
helping hand of this God-fearing cou-
ple In large donations. The former
Baylor College at Belton is now known
as Mary Hardin-Baylor In honor of
the fine lady who donated a great sum
of money to the school. Hardln-Slm-mona
University of Abilene formerly
Simmons University also changed
their name to the present one in honor
of the elderly couple.
Not only these few schools mention-
ed were helped by this kindly and
generous couple who nave done so
FOOTBALL WORK-
OUTS BEGIN
TODAY
Football season is here and the
Jackets will report for duty this af-
ternoon to begin working out In prep-
aration for one of the toughest ten-
game schedules that they have faced
for the past few. years. Among the
bunch of huskies that will report for
duty this afternoon will be fifteen let-
termen from last season one letter-
man of three or four years ago ap-
proximately seven squadmen and a
herd of sophomores.
The lettermen with whom Coaches
Keaton and McCarver will begin work
are Captain Archer quarter; Co-Captain
O'Brien center; Whitehead end;
Wedeman end; West end; Simmons
guard; Dyer tackle; Chew guard;
Fletcher guard; Vickers center; Mar-
shall quarter; Nunnally half Thom-
as half; Sunderman half; and Har-
low full. Smoky Lusk star tackle of
a few years back will enter school
but due to a recent operation may be
unable to see any action during the
early part of the season.
The squadmen returning who will
probably see quite a bit of action are
Barham guard; Crane and Bounds;
full-backs; Little and Gray ends;
Grant and Miller backs; and St. Clair
guard.
There are several promising sophs
from last year's freshman crop that
are due to be plenty tough. Among
the list are Galloway and Barbee
ends; MacDonald and McGinty 210
lb. tackles Sunderman center and
several other small men who may see
quite a bit of action.
The Jackets will have eleven days
to get in shape for their first tilt' that
will come September 21 with the fam-
ed T. C. U. Horned Frogs in Fort
Worth.
Without good company all dainties
lose their true relish and like painted
grapes are only seen not tasted.
A good book is the best of friends
the same today and forever.
much for the advancement of Chris-
tian education but many others that
it would take quite a lot of space to
enumerate.
Mrs. Hardin's funeral was held yes-
terday afternoon at two-thirty in
Burkburnett. Dr. Taylor president
nf Howard Pavne. and several other
faculty and board members of the
school attended as a final token and
blessing upon the fine old lady for the
many blessings that she has bestowed
upon all of the schools in the state.
In this time of grief we are sure
that Mr. Hardin is comforted by our
Almighty Father who is always car-
ing foj: us from His Throne Above.
And to this elderly gentleman who
hoi lost such a faithful and noble
companion who has been bis comfort
and solace tnrougn inese iasi several
years we can only say that "Every-
thing works for the good of those that
love the Lord."

More Graduate Last
Year Than Ever
Before
The largest number of giaduates"
ever to finish Howard Payne in a sin-
gle year received their diplomas in the
last spring and summer terms. The
number was one hundred and fifteen
and was about fifteen more than have
ever been graduated before.
The summer term was the larger of
the two with fifty-nine getting their
sheep skins during the hot weather
while fifty-four finished at the end of
the tegular session in the spring. Most
of the summer graduates weie teach
ers who had been attending Howard
Payne for the past few summers.
The increase in graduates is very
important in the history of the school
as it shows that the school is glowing
while so many more schools are de-
creasing because of the lack of funds.
Education does not mean teaching
people to know what they do not
know; it means teaching them to be-
have as they do not behave. Ruskin.
Student Constitution
To Be Drawn
Up Soon
A new Constitution and By-Laws of
the Howard Payne student body will
be drawn up by the student council
as soon as possible according to Da-
vid Morris president of the Student
Body and Mr. O. E. Winebrenner dean
of students.
The constitution will govern every-
thing that has to do with student ac-
tivities and offices and anything that
might come under the power of the
student body to carry out.
As soon as it has been completed
and approved by the student council
it will be placed before the student
body as a whole for any amendments
that should be made and for accept
ance.
This work will be done within the
next few days and will be submlted
to the students as soon as possible

HEAD MENTOR;
COACHES BACKS
SAN MARCOS
To replace the loss of Joe Bailey
Choaney who resigned his position as
head coach of football and basketball
at Howard Payne to take a similar
position at the Southwest Texas State
Teachers College at San Marcos Mc-
Adoo Keaton has been promoted from
his former position as line coach un-
der Chcaney to assume the duties of
head mentor of the Jackets. Nig Mc-
Carver former Jacket star and for
two years the most valuable man in
the Texas Conference has been se
lected to assist Keaton and will have
charge of the Jacket backfield.
Keaton has been line coach here for
the past six years coming from San
Marcos Academy where he was Chea-
ney's successor to assist his former
playing mate In Howard Payne. The
Cheaney-Keaton regime has been one
of the most successful ones in the
United States and their teams have
won five conference championships
tied for first honors in another and
placed second in the other over a per-
iod of seven years.
Keaton is recognized as one of the
greatest line coaches in the southwest
and there could be no better choice to
fill the plnrp of tho pnpn'ar Choincv
During his six year stay at the school
ho has turned out some of the best
lines in the state and his men were
responsible for the holes in the lines
of the opposing teams that enabled
the strong Cheaney offence to knock
off yard after yard. Very few points
have been scored through Keaton's
trained lines and it is certain that this
year's lines will be one of the strong-
est in the history of the school.
McCarver played for the Jackets In
'28-'3l and was probably the greatest
tunning back to ever play in the Tex-
as Conference. During his last two
yeaib Nig was rated the most valu-
able man in the conference and it is
certain that the title was well earned.
Nig was also one of the gteatest track
stais to ever don the Gold and Blue
and was the holder of four conference
records when he finished in '32; the
100 and 220 yard dashes and the hur-
dles both low and high. His record
in the low hurdles has yet to be equal-
ed while he is still co-oholder of the
100 and 220 yard recotds.
After giaduation from here Nig
coached at Tahoka High School for
a year and then went to George
Washington University where he
played two years of football and was
highly mentioned for All-American
honors. Last year he was assistant
coach to Frank Bridges at Texas Mil-
itaiy College the team that the Jack-
ets won from by a 20-0 score.
The coaches will have fifteen letter-
men from last year's squad and sev-
