Queens From Senior
For Miss Senior Class
Premonitions
By "JINX"
Without much adoo over prelimi-
naries Just saying a couple of amens
to the illustrious lead of this column
given a few weeks ago by our good
friend and fellow politician Al Hicks
we offer you for your criticism or
compliments if any the Sophomore
Class edition of the Yellow Jacket.
In this effort we have tried to give
members of the high school senior
classes a resume of a typical year
at Howard Payne and list a few of
the reasons they should be here to
enroll next September and to mem-
bers of Howard Payne's student body
a list of highlights in our year's
activity. As the time draws near
for summer vacation although none
of us will admit it that welt known
lump Is rising to a lodging place in
our throats. No matter how glad we
are to start our three months of
leisure and loafing after a few weeks
We will wish for September pep ral-
lies and football games. Anyway it has
been a great year and many of us
can look forward to another during
the next session. However the hap-
ntaaf nnii mnat entertalnlner few weeks
are still head of us before dismissal
late In May .
Today we have as our visitors on
our campus several hundred members
of high school senior classes In this
section of Texas. They are our
friends many of them the future
Howard Payne College students and
the perpetrators of what we have
carried on in our enjoyable years
here. Let us make every effort to
show them a good time and give
ttaem a slight case of that contagious
"Howard Payne Spirit." To you
seniors we welcome you and hope
that you may have such a swell time
while here that you will be back
to Join us for good next September.
This thing about reading editorials
has come up repeatedly this year.
This writer reads editorials and like-
wise believes that most of the stu-
dents read them. However while on
the subject let's state briefly their
purpose. Written by different stu-
dents and the editor they are the
only way we as students have In
introducing opinions or movements
on our campus. It Is also a means
for accomplishing a real work of
literary art In the realms of more
deep thought. For instance in the
second editorial of this week's issue
there is an exploitation on something
that will mean much to every student
of Howard Payne next year If It Is
worked to the right advantage. Read
It and then while in the mood read
the rest of the editorials.
Another political season is getting
Into full swing with a goodly number
of excellent candidates already an-
nounced. Election of student govern-
ment officers la a thing not to be
taken lightly. All positions carry
large responsibilities and much
thought should be given the candi-
dates before election. They will rep-
resent Howard Payne College through-
... .f vtor nnii the nrotrress ealned
will depend on the ones you cast your
vote for it any.

WELCOME SENIORS!
Howard Payne College greets you! This is OUR great day but we want to make it
YOURS. Of all the special occasions which we observe annually on our campus we feel
that THIS is by far the greatest and most lasting in its effect. SENIORS we want you
to realize as far as possible just how much this day means to us. We hope you will un-
derstand how truly happy and sincerely proud we are in having each Senior Class and
every single one of you as individuals in our midst.
To every Senior every sponsor and every other visitor it is our foremost desire
that you will consider yourself as our personal guest for the day. It will be difficult
for us to fully express our appreciation to you for sparing us these several hours of your
time but we are indeed grateful. You will honor us further if you will help US to help
YOU enjoy yourself. Every student and every faculty member of Howard Payne Col-
lege is at your service and how happy we will be if we can serve you. Please feel free to
call on us for any bit of assistance or information which we may be able to offer that is
what we are here for.
This occasion is the annual project of the Sophomore Class of Howard Payne and is
observed for two principle reasons. The first is to permit our students and the Senior
students of our neighboring high schools to enjoy a day of entertainment and fellowship.
The second reason is to permit YOU SENIORS to catch a slight glimpse of one of the
most wonderful things that we have ever known the famouB HOWARD PAYNE SPIRIT
a strange intangible something that we cannot describe but which every Howard
Payne student feels in his heart. Each one of you has likely heard some mention of the
SPIRIT OF HOWARD PAYNE. If you do not realize what it is we want you to get a
slight idea of it today. If you really want to see that wonderful spirit in action just
come to one of our pep rallies next fall and see several hundred students with their
blood tingling in their veins yelling and singing their hearts out fop one definite purpose.
That purpose is to instill our football players with the enthusiasm and determination
which is traditional with Howard Payne football teams. Then you will see that spirit at
work again when those Yellow Jackets go on the gridiron. You will see them give their
last ounce of human energy as they are inspired by our motto "For Howard Payne My
All." You will see an entire student body backing "That Good Old Howard Payne Line"
and if history repeats itself you will see some verypleasing results of that spirit which
is found ONLY at Howard Payne.
Again we repeat SENIORS you are more than welcome and we invite you to be
with us as often as possible. Then if you feel the desire to obtain that HOWARD PAYNE
SPIRIT in full measure come to Brownwood next September and become a student in
that good old school where everyone believes in giving "To Howard Payne My All" the
institution "where everybody is somebody."
When this special day shall come to a close we bid each and every one of you a
kind farewell and extend a hearty invitation to you to come to Howard Payne as a student
or as a visitor at any time and all times.
Glad to be your host and may we meet again. Clifford Oder.

is true to form of that real Howard

play their talent to uncover any hid-
den talent and to properly give pros-
pective Yellow Jacket editor candi-

a great success excellent papers have
been published arid many students
have received something worth while
in working on them. I hope that they
may be continued every year" Bob

first class publication. Leal Schur-
man was editor. Al Hicks had charge
of the second publication the junior

tion the sophomore class paper la
