Dramatic Club In
Successful Year
The Howard Payne Players or dra-
matic club is one of the oldest clubs
on the campus. Under the leadership
of Mrs. Leta N. Shelton it has be-
come one of the most popular and
sctive clubs on the campus. It has an
cniollment of forty students from the
four classes which are admitted to
the club only after tryouts and selec
tions by judges.
The purpose of the club is to train
students who might have acting abil-
ity. It meets regularly once a week
having programs pertaining to the
presenting of a play makeup stag-
ing etc. During the course of the
year the club presents a three-act play
and two or three one-act plays. This
year the club presented "Charlie's
Aunt" a comedy which was very well
received by the town as well as the
student body and faculty. Every year
the club represents Howard Payne in
the one-act play contest in ttre Texas
Conference. The Howard Payne
Players are well known over the
state.
The social highlights of the club
are one of the best features of the
club. It has four or five large social
events during the year ending the
year with a formal banquet at the
Gold Room of tlie Hotel Brownwood.
At Christmas time a Christmas for-
mal dinner has been the custom of the
club for some time. The small charge
for dues and profits of the plays keep
the club treasury well supplied with
money for staging plays and social
events.
This year for the first time the
club ordered gold pins with the name
of the club engraved on it as a token
for the club members to keep.
It is a club Howard Payne is proud
of and it will continue to do some fine
things for Howard Payne College.

ON PLEASURE AND PAIN
Oh what Is so delightful
As a touching child to hear?
What so other than doleful
As Epicurean cheer?
Oh what Is so pleasureless
As to see the dying cloves i

Sad dreams of transient loves
How fleeting is our very cheer?

WOMEN-The Curse of Humanity
By A. Mann
Perhaps you wonder why an article
of so great importance and vital In-
terest has so long been withheld
from the columns of this publication.
This treatise has been patiently
waiting in the files for this last is-
sue of the Yellow Jacket so that I
a man might thwart the conceited
opposite sex by having the last word.
First let us define the word "wo-
man." Mr. Webster states that a
woman is "an adult female" and he
dares not go further Into the subject
because after all his book is for
sale. I seek no pecuniary reward
for my effort so I feel free to dis-
cuss define and defile the subject as
I see fit. On asking a fair lass what
her definition might be for "wo-
men" she nonchalantly replied
"God's gift to man." This definition
is quite in contrast to that given by
an eminent gentleman of several de-
cades ago who defined women as. "A
high species of animal; ranking sec-
ond only to MAN." But let us go
further than mere definition.
At the beginning of the Fall Sem-
ester of 1937 there was distributed
at Howard Payne College some print-
ed sheets of advice for college stu-
dents. These sheets were titled
"Horse Sense." Some of the male
enrollees were fortunate enought to
secure a copy of this code of common
sense and hide it away before one of
the women discussed therein disposed
of the paper. Referring to a copy
which I successfully salvaged I find
this advice "Have no dealings with
wicked women and especially none
with weak and foolish ones. The
road to Hell leads by their door." I
might say here that if all the wicked
weak and foolish women were re-
moved from this earth; it would be
as bare offemtnlnlty as the Garden
of Eden was before Adam went to
sleep and let one of his ribs be stolen.
Reading "Horse Sense" further we
find this admonition "If you are In
a co-ed college do not be familiar
with the opposite sex. Exhibition of
interest in such a friend cheapens
you and makes onlookers sick."
I sincerely regret that every one
of my muscle-bound brothers did not
procure one of these copies and by
observing the actions of the young
manhood on our campus I can read-
ily see that there are many who did
not get set on the right road and are
now fast becoming enmeshed in the
web that some female spider has
lured them Into.
I do not know who is due the
credit for the following quotation
but it is the truth of the statement
and not the poetry contained that
brings it so forcibly to my mind. I
quote "A little powder and a little
paint makes a woman wnat sne
ain't." (Apologies Mr. Robnett)
Have you ever stopped to think how
much polished brass resembles pure
gold? Unless the two are closely
inspected or given an acid test it is
hard to tell the pure from the base.
However when the acid test is given
the brass Immediately turns green
with envy for the gold that it tried
so hard to duplicate. The same is
true of a metal that can be plated
and changed from a dull ugly finish
to a bright silver color in about fif-
teen minutes. (Only one half the
time taken by a woman to "plate"
her pan.) Then one looks at the
plated metal and remarks how beau-
tiful It is forgetting that Its beauty
is only skin deep! How can man be
so blinded by the plating on a wo-
man's face and Wie bright brassy
smile that she exhibits? If the gulli-
ble stronger sex would only give these
deceivers the acid test or wash their
plated faces; the deceit would be re-
vealed. "Lust not after her beauty in
thine heart; neither let her take thee
by her eyelids." Proverbs 6:25.

wise smart f r lends meekly admit that
when they chance a glance at some
fair maid with lemon-colored hair
they seem to see n golden halo en-
clrcullng her taffy tresses. Where-
upon I remind my moon-struck bud-
dy that visions vanished with the
Apostle Paul and that wltchchaft has
not been practiced since the days of
Old Salem. Of course visions such
as these are short lived and the same
damsel that one day shines as a
white-robed Inhabitant of Paradise
will reveal herself as Lucifer s own
Imp the next day.
Many poems and endearing words
have been written about "sipping
the nectar" from the lips of one of
the fairer sex but let me warn you
comrades that this so called nectar
is nothing moie than vipers venom
with a lipstick color and a Dentyne
flavor. My friends refrain from this
practice of sipping or you will find
vomself slipping and the habit is
much more difficult to overcome than
that of inhaling the nicotine laden
smoke.
Though I realize that this bold
article will forever ostracize me from
the society of womankind and will
destroy me socially I feel it my duty
to sacrifice myself so that other
youth might be set aright.

Melvin Boedeker Is
18 Points: Swindle
Friday the 13th was a lucky day for
the Yellow Jackets of Hownid Payne
College. Climaxing the annual two-
day Texas Conference meet the Jack-
ets bloke four records and tied another
in winning theii third tiack and field
title in n low and the eighth in eleven
yea is.
Finals in track and field eents
wete held yesterday afternoon in the
high school stadium with Howard
Payne piling up 87 1-3 points to 31
2-3 for their neatest rival Abilene
Chrtsian College. Points by other
teams wete St. Edward's 11 South-
western 13. Texas Wesleyan 5 Aus-
tin College 4 McMurry 4 Daniel
Baker 2 and Ttinity 1.
The meet was moved to the high
school field because of the muddy
condition of the Hownid Payne tiack
as a result of rains Thursday night
and early Friday morning. Except
for soft spots on the back side of the
tiack the high school oval was in
good condition and almost perfect
weather conditions existed throughout
the three-hour finals.
Fans Surprised
Fans weie not .suiptised when How-
nid Payne athletes tan according to
dope In smashing recoids on the mile
relay 110 and 880-yard tuns but when
Yellow Jackets came through to
lower the 100-yard dash mark and tie
the high jump recotd their own
roach "Nig" McCanet wondered
whnt had come ovet his boys. All lc-
cords broken were by Howard Payne
athletes.
Melvin Boedeker of Stamford high
scorer of the meet with 18 points
ctacked McCarver's own 100-yatd
mark of 9 8 seconds with time of 9.6.
Boedeker whose best time this year
In previous meets was 10 flat was
ttailcd only a few inches by a team
mate James Minor when he breasted
the tape. To make sine that nothing
was wrong the distance was measured
carefully the steel tape showing the
stretch to be six inches mote than 100
yards. Stop watches of the four time
keepers clocked the maik in approxi-
mately the same time. McCarver's
9 8 matk was set In 1929.
The majoi surprise of the day came
when Newell "Slim" Odell of Moran
unable to cleat the bar at mote than
five feet ten inches in previous meets
and practice this season sailed over
at six feet thtee inches in matching
the matk set in 1931 by Watkins of
A. C. C.
Swindle Near Record
Another tecoul might have been
broken if Ralph Swindle of Indian Gap
had Leen permitted to continue his
assault on the pole vault lecotd after
winning the event for the Yellow
Jackets with height of 12 feet 7 inches
three-fourths of an inch shott of the
recotd set in 1934 by Hickman of
Daniel Baket. Because of the fact
that Swindle was enteted in other
events including the mile relay. Coach
McC'niver saw no use of the ted-head-ed
athlete drawing on sttcngth for an
event already won when that strength
would be needed for the high jump
120 and 220-yatd hurdles and mile
iclay in which Swindle was entered
Anyway Swindle has another year to
tty for the vaulting record.

In the mile relay at a triangular meet
hete last week however in covering
the dKtanco in three minutes 19 9
seconds in the final event Friday the
Howard Pajne quartet clipped 3 4 sec-
onds off the tecoid set by A. C. C. in
1935. Little Milton Howard of San-
ta Anna showed no signs of slight ill-
ness that struck him dining the day
as he anchored the relay In the record
bi caking performance. Other mem-
bets of the relay taem were Waymon
Wilson of McAlIeti formerly of Rich-
land Sptings Ralph Swindle of Indian
Gap and Otho Barbee of Rule.
Barbee Beats Howard
Bai bee provided another upset when
he beat his teammate Howard in
setting a new lccoid in the 440-yard
dash. He was clocked in 49.8 one-
tenth of a second under the time set
by Green of A. C. C. in 1933. Howard
who lan the 140 last week in 49.8
was a close second.
Wilson came through according to
predictions with a new record In the
880-yard run covering the distance In
one minute 55 3 seconds 1.5 seconds
under the mark set in 1934 by Sim-
mons of A. C. C. The danger signal
on the mark was flashed by Wilson
last week when he lan the 880 in
1 :55 7.
