EDITORIAL COMMENT
Welcome Students to Howard Payne
If this is the first time you have had the privilege to be on
this college campus you may feel somewhat like a stranger as
if the rest of us belong here and you do not. The first thing that
we want you to do is rid yourself of that feeling. First of all
you are already one of us and we want you to know just how
glad we are to have you at Howard Payne College. The members
of the Yellow Jacket staff and the faculty of Howard Payne wish
to extend to every new student in H. P. C. a hearty welcome. To
all of you former students we need not say a great deal ; you know
only too well how genuinely happy we are to see each one of you.
Freshmen it is our sincere desire that you will soon feel
that Brownwood is your town that Howard Payne is your col-
lege. Just remember that only a few short months ago each of
us were entering H. P. C. for the first time and were wondering
if we would like it. Just ask us now; we love it sind we know
that you soon will do likewise. It is you Freshmen that keep the
wheels turning and make this dear old school a grand success.
In a short while you will be running things around here and the
rest of us will be just a bunch of Ex's looking back and saying
"Look the torch we passed to them is still burning brightly-"
Freshmen we like you and we think that you are the best
bunch of new students that has come to H. P. C. in a long time
so just feel at home and be one of us. We are counting on this
to be the grandest year in the history of the school and we are
going to depend on YOU to help us to make it just that. This is
YOUR school take it get the most you can out of it and be
happy with us.
Candid Campus Cracks
CAPS in lower case
Felicitations frans and frosh. First we feel like forwarding
a few flimsy and futile flings nt familiar figures formerly fre-
quenting this forum of freaks. Fickle frails and foul fraters felt
the force of frequent f lailings for folly. Fair females and feliciou3
fellows found friendliness. Folks will find a flare for frankness
in this frugal forum of fantasy and Flat Foot Floogie is a Floy
Floy.
You are probably wondering what Flat Floogie has to do with
this column and you are probably wondering what the heck the
first paragraph is all about. Well anyhow it's good alliteration.
The purpose of these puny paragraphs is to pan punks prop-
erly for persistent permiscous pranks purposely practiced with-
out pulling punches. Friends and foe will fall alike. However
for sufficient renumeration enough suction can be obtained to
avoid unpleasant situations.
Will A. C. White be able to hold his own with our charming
little sponsor Georgia Nell Sharp? Will Bob Havins continue
to hold sway in the love life of the dazzling Evelyn Jones? Will
that paragon of pulchritude Wilma Fry continue to ignore the
admiring males of Howard Payne? Will Miss Bonham (Bobby
Mowrey to you) continue to flash that hunk of ice on her finger
around ? Will Minute and Bobby Bessie Ray and Jimmy Christian
and Felder Marjean and Boche Joe Fielder and Joe Fielder re-
sume their respective relations where they left off last spring?
Will Carlton Lee and Jane Queen pair off or will Carlton vary his
courting? Will Claude Knieff continue to hold his rating of Public
Dope No. 1? Will the hounds catch little Eva? Will Ruthless
Rudolph kill Jack Armstrong?
Several new courses have been added to the Campusology
Curriculum. A beginner's course in elementary Jive is being
offered to local Cats. This class will be handled by Professer
"Satchel-Mouth" Knieff. Student assistants should be either
adept with the licorice stink scratch box mahogany or skins.
This course is resommended highly to all Jitterbugology majors.
The first week will be devoted to studies "in the groove." This
class will convene just before band practice each day in the
auditorium
Fall Term Opens Forty Ninth Year
Just forty-eight years ago in a little country town in Texas
a group of as fine and courageous men as ever lived saw their
most cherished dream become a reality. As they saw the final re-
sults of their resolution and of their efforts they were probably
very happy and very sure that someday the institution which they
had worked so hard to create would repay them for their efforts
by taking the youth of their vicinity and developing them into
fine manhood and womanhood. Today the successors of these
fine men are still working and hoping and praying that that
dream might constantly materialize. We feel that it is.
Howard Payne College has gone a long way since that his-
toric day back in 1890. Today the forty-ninth group of students
is being registered into that same institution which began in such
a modest manner. As this edition goes to press the admin-
istration i.s expecting the largest student body in the history of
the school and we old students are anticipating the most valuable
group of new students and the most successful year in history.
Since that great day in the declining years of the past cen-
tury Howard Payne College has grown from a tiny unknown
school into what we believe to be one of the best places in the
world. Today H. P. C. is not one of the largest colleges in the
country nor is it one of the best equipped from the standpoint
of buildings and fixtures but it has one of the most enthusiastic
student bodies this side of anywhere. Before long you will possess
a generous share of that good old enthusiasm that we call the
"Howard Payne Spirit" and then you will fully realize why we
think thif is one of the best places in the best places in the world.
Howard Payne is opening its forty-ninth year bigger and
better than ever because those men in the Pecan Valley Baptist
Association resolved to do something for the youth of their terri-
tory and because the students and faculty members that have
passed through her halls for half a century have all believed in
her and have given their all for her every cause. Howard Payne
is what she is today because her students have always loved her
and have tried to make her go "upward ever backward never;"
and because her faculty has worked and sacrificed that she might
begin anew free from debt and better than ever. We are ever-
lastingly grateful to those who have gone before to bear the
brunt of hardship and we are resolved to keep up the spirit and
do our part to boost dear old H. P. C. on to higher goals and
greater glory. Remember "FOR HOWARD PAYNE MY ALL."
Thoughts while peckin' (as on the typewriter not in the Big
Apple) The Stump Jumpers ought to have a gala year with the
governor's race turning out like it did . . . Bull Sessions will sadly
miss the double talk of The Dutchman and Whizzer . . . The
Science Hall waste jars will miss the accurate shots from the
nicotine besplattered lips of Fussy Hays . . . The Jack-O-Lantern
will miss the trade of Shorty (The Digger) Smith . . . No Mossy
Myrick isn't in school even if he is here most of the time but
Peggy Smith the frail with the flair for flirting is with the
some-hither look in her eyes . . . Bebe Robertson has lost that
"Far Away Look in Her Eyes" with the return of Cy Blackstock
to school . . . The Lindseys grocery bill increased this summer
Glen Smith delivered groceries this summer . . . Howard Payne
receives one of Brownwood's foremost Jitterbugs in the person
of Sonny Smith well known to rugcutting circles . . . Tom Gibbs
and Morris Brooks are bringing their one-and-onlys Froshes
Parker and Barnes respectively over from BHS . . . Cap and
Miss Annie did all right by the males of HP when they brought
Elizabeth Cranford diminutive blonde torch singer from Angelo
and relation of the Shelton's our way . . . Duties of the Rah-rah
Twins who finally got out of this institution will be taken over
by those coy producers of bedlam Evans and Walden.
Is your heart lonely? Does your gregarian nature long for
companionship? If so come to Howard Payne. We guarantee
a marriage or an accurate facsimile within four years. Thirteen
of last years romances have already culminated into blissful (?)
matrimony. We absolutely produce results.
Will Keaton provide riding habits for athletes who have
Charley-horses ? Will Cap have to secure an Indian to keep books
for the Yellow Jacket because Fox and Strasner got it in the red?
Will you lend me twenty dollars so I can take Fort Worth in when
we run that special train to the T. W. C. game October 8? For
the answers to these questions and many others watch for an-
other thrilling episode in the lives of Betty Coed and Joe College
soon to appear in an early edition of this paper.

once again the time has come .
for us to brush the cobwebs out of would-be-minds and get back
to learning our abe's. let us bo the one hundred and first to wel-
come you to the school where somebody is everybody or some-
thinggood ole' hard pain (note: this mispelling of howard payne
is a gag that was founded in the same year the college was. be
sure and smile when you say it.)
glad to see so many new and . . .
assorted faces and hope you'll all enjoy your stay here as much
as we have which must be a lot because this is our fourth year
and we're still coming back for more the yellow jacket editor
and yours truly did our preparatory work in the state institution
down at nustin the one with the high fence around it. the way
we have been going it should only take about six years for us to
graduate.
if we can be of any help in . . .
showing the freshmen around don't mention it. if you have not
yet purchased your chapel seat see al hicks or hal cherry they are
the real cheap the seat tickets we mean then if you freshmen
have not had the distinctive thrill of riding in the football coach
see cap shelton and he will make the proper arrangements it
would be well if all slimes would remember they should be seen
(occasionally) and not heard we overheard one fish remark that
he was called a freshman because he was young and innocent and
had not as yet been contaminated in any way by the upperclass-
men. he is still running.
we sincerely hope that none . . .
of the new students have become lost in our city the chamber
of commerce will tell you that lake brownwood is a fisherman's
pair-of-dice etc- in fsict they tell us that there is nothing english
about those fish out at the lake they catch on quickly we
imagine there is something catching about a string of fish that
average from four to six pounds.
since variety is supposed to be . . .
the spice of life this column will be a general mixture of said
sp'ces. however the censor board firmly suggests that we use no
pepper or other such spice if you get what we mean because it
is hard on the system to add to our variety we'll comment on
news coming movies and once a month run your horriblescope
the information being obtained from our friend and astrologer
prof baloney then an occasional ditty will be used this week's
will fit into those "drive safely" ideas that are making the rounds
it was our misfortune this summer to witness a highway accident
in which a woman and baby were killed instantly things like
that will make you stop and think which won't hurt most of
us. the ditty:
no magician
is malcom fitch
yet he turned his car
into a ditch.
stolen
take note of the campaign being . . .
waged by the yellow jacket staff it concerns the possibility of
running a special train to ft. worth for the texas wesleyan col-
lege game on October eighth what do you say????
pardon us for letting other . . .
matters side-track us from the welcome business we sincerely
hope everyone had a pleasant summer nothing very unusual
happened in texts unless it happened while we were asleep which
is quite possible of course in the big race of the season "leo"
(w. lee o'daniel) won by a biscuit that was the famous guber-
natorial handicap however leo didn't seem to be handicapped
by anything; the early favorites were left standing at the post
while leo literally ran away with the race one local candidate
fell in defeat and received a broken heart when he tried to poll
vault into the capital at austin-
all good things must come . . .
to an end they tell us and so must things that are not so good
this column for example we have been working all summer on
an invention that should revolutionize the revolution it should
be finished by next week so we'll tell you about it then well
come again and let me say "aw rivera" (french for "don't take
any wooden nickles.")
