Premonitions
By ROY FOX
WERE YOU THERE Lnst
Week Churlos Russell Boud who
has Inci eased not only lnteie.st but
activities and versatility of music
on the UPC campus presented
what many tunned the greatest
show of its kind at his institution.
In short it was Interesting beau-
tiful to the eye as well as the
ear- and It was vat led enough to
hold the Intel est of eveiyone dur-
ing Its entile length. Mollis of
work were saciiflecd by Mi Boud
and his loyal workcis. The show
was lauded by all Including the
producer as a great success Ev-
ery cent of the money went back
to the school for robes for the
choral organization. However loy-
alty to a certain cxU'iit stopped
with the peisonalltles of the show
most of whom incidentally pur-
chased their own tickets. In brief
the crowd was lousy foi such n
musical extravaganza. Had it not
been for the outsldeis the players
would have had practically no au-
dience. Where weie all those stu-
dents who each day fill the audl-
toiium to ovei flowing nt chapel
time? In our estimation they
were missing an hnpoitant part
of their college education.
FREE FACTS Likewise a
compaiatlvely small number of
students nvailed themselves of the
opportunity Monday night of heat-
ing one of the college's most In-
tel csting speakets discuss a sub-
ject which now and Inter poten-
tially has a bearing upon evety
student. Professor T. H. Ilnvins
who by the way knows more
about mote things than anyone we
ever knew (which would have giv-
en him a pet feet foundation for a
newspaper man) addressed slight-
ly more than 150 young people at
a Baptist Student Union religious
hour on Modem Youth and Fu-
ttue Home Life In which he
sttcssed: economic .stability choice
of mate life after mnmage and
renting of children ptesenting
many facts which probably would
have been mote beneficial to those
who didn't attend than those who
did. Again whete wete the mote
than seven hundted Howard Payne
students?
HIGH OR LOW Disregard
them us we may for a cettuln pe-
riod of time just like sin our
gtades will find us out in many
instances much to our t egret. How
were your gracles? If your grades
the fit st nine weeks weie low It
is nothing disgrace! ul so long as
they ptompted you to do some-
thing about them during the ic-
mainder of the year If you con-
tinue to coast along hoping that
your teachers will be moie gen-
erous and mote sympathetic this
peiiod it is disgtaccful and will
be tragic because the teachers
are going to give you what you
earn if any. There Is plenty oi
time now to make up those grades
but if you wait five moie weeks
befoie doing something about it
theie will not be time. Think on
this for a moment then cancel
that poker game or afternoon tea
and get busy.
PRO AND CON on a $70000
" subject- -We have been prompted
-by sevetal student and faculty
members alike to write a few
words on the use or disuse of the
gymnasium as the case may be.
The students feel many of them
that the physical education build-
ing was elected tor the use of all
students not a select group. On
tho other hand however use of
such a costly structuie must be
discriminatory and supei vised it
is felt. One student puts forth
this question: "Whv should we
students who saettticcd part of
our own meager allowances or
earnings for the gymnasium

CHANCE FOR UNSELFISH
Plea Is Made For Additional Mission Workers
Tho fields are truly white to tho
harvest in the city of Brownwood
and some of our student mission
workers have clone worthy labor-
in that field but there is much
more work to be done. While the
field Is ready the laborers are
still too few. Have you a desire in
your heart to win those who are
lost in the outer blackness of sin.
If you have the mission workers
of our school have an important
place for you in their- ranks.
When wo look at the awful pic-
ture that has been painted by tho
prophet as he beheld n vision of
the condition of those who have
not come to know Christ as thoir
personal Saviour wo will be more
eager to work for their salvation
and for tho glory of tho Lord. But
we dare not wait till we find some
other field for the harvest is at

those who have been called to
gather tho fruit.
Toward the end of October this
past fall a group of students be-
gan this missionary endeavor in
Brownwood since that time there
have been some 1500 religious
visits nrade. As a result of this
work there have been thirty-five
professions of faith. Tho pro-
fessions have been made by those
fiom junior age to an ndult of
forty-five. It has been found that
an average ot nearly forty visits

this group sought to bring spirit-
ual relief but when need for
medical attention or food hns been
found this need Iras boon minis-
tered too. Undoubtedly this work
is tho work of tho Lord and Iras
been and will be blessed by Him.

Choir Is Success
In Boud's Opery
Midst a shower of hearts and
serpentine the echoes of Sweet-
heal ts brought down the curtain
on a veiy successful presentation
of the Hist "HP Opery." And
speaking of hearts the Howard
Payne choir apparently won Its
way into those of the audience
fiom the comment after the show
on the night's performance of
April 2.
Opening the night's song fes-
tivities was a skit with a distinc-
tive western flavor featuring a
little range rhythm by such cat-
tle punchers of the drug stoic va-
riety as Don Lunimus James
Leach Alvle Strusucr James
Stanley Bonnet Hice and Blackie
Shci rod.
With tire entire choir vocally
furnishing a deep South setting
Melvirr Rutheul as Old Black Joe
and Jack McAneai as Shufflln'
Snm made up the next pot Hon of
the pioginm. The characteristic
weariness of the ancient Joseph
ol the house of ebony was slightly
ottset by the ton Id tempo exhib-
ited in Btownwood bound Sam's
.shufllin' syncopation produced by
a couple of deft dogs easily Irri-
tated by rhythm.
The show was climaxed by a
reminiscent peek at tho time hon-
ored pages of the old family al-
bum which contained portiaits of
Aunt Sadie Daisy Boll The Rose
ot Tralco Jack Loves Old Sweet
Song Three Little Maids Irish
I lose Tho Last Hose In the
back of the album a quintette of
masked pulcluitude represented
the college favorites lor the 1010
Lasso. The grand finale was pre-
sented by the entire choir with n
. v.eetheiut promenade and tho
.song Sweethearts.
This very creditable perform-
ance by the Howard Payne choir
was arranged produced and dl-
tected by Hownrd Payne's own
Billy Rose Professor Charles H.
Bond.

sary. If you doubt that Glenn did not

Howird Payne Glenn had men-
tally slated himself foi the bar.
But his lawyer aspirations were
short lived for he soon felt a
call to the ministry. So the fall
of 11)37 found Glenn at Howard
Payne.
He has served as president of
his freshman and sopliomoio
classes while a member of this
student body. The students se-
lected him ns most typical boy
last year and as a representative
in the Who's Who among students
in American colleges and univers-
ities. Ho is currently holding
c'own thu top executive spot in tho
Alpha Chi which testifies of his
scholastic ability.
Recently the associated students
selected him to servo ns Baptist
.Student Union piesidont for 1010-
41. This vote of confidence by his
fellow students certainly met Its
tho selection of Glenn Smith as
campus personality of tho week
by tho Yellow Jacket staff.
