Personality
Some 33 years ago a bundle
was dropped on Georgia. Upon
investigation it va- found to
contain Eugene Barrow. It is ru-
mored that the reason it was
dropped in-tend of being deliver-
ed in tlie conventional fashion
was bccau.se Its occupant anger-
ed the Stork by inquiring
whether his wings were the or-
thodox color. We do not vouch
for the t'uth of this rumor. You
must a k '.he one concerned if
j ou aie eunoiK.
But we do know thl- much; if
he was it-ally dropped it wa not
the carrot-topped cranium that
.-truck first for Eugene Barrow
is a member of Alpha Chi and
not only that but his opinions
concerning any subject about
which j ou may choose to ap-
proach him are solid sane and
practical.
He has been outstanding in all
athletic activities and shines cs-
piclall on the basketball court.
Soon after his birth his par-
ents moved to Florida with him
where they stayed two years and
then on to Oregon.
It was at the Baptist encamp-
ment in Cas-cadia in 1937 that he
met Myrna and later persuaded
her to marry him.
The Barrows came to Howard
Pa.ne in 1942 and Euj'cne .sas
that he ha- alwa- liked it here
The have two lovely children
a girl 4 and a boy. G months.
Brother Barrow adores his chil-
dren and believes that children
are necessary to a happy home.
They plan to return to Oregon
after graduation where they will
immediately assume full time
responsibilities in God's calling.
We salute this honest sincere
and capable preacher 'as the
personality of the week and
pray that God's rich blessings
shall be His as he goes to take
up his new work.

nation. Mr. Judson recognizing
Hatfield's talent signed him as
a Columbia Concerts artist and
the singer has coveied the
country under Judson Manage-
ment ever since tryout time.
Having justified his musical
ambitions in concert radio ora-
torio and light opera perform-
ance Lansing Hatfield aimed
for grand opera and reached
his goal with the Metropolitan.
In the finals of the Metropolitan
Auditions of the Air in the
Spring of 1941 the ex-school
teacher traveling salesman
Peabody graduate was the only
man among three candidates
chosen for operatic fame. His
debut the following December in
"Rigolctto" convinced the nation
that here was a new singing
personality worthy to tread the
Metropolitan's immortal boards.
Since his Metropolitan debut
Lansing Hatfield has made
standing radio programs and
countless appearances on out-
standing radio programs and
has appeared with such musi-
cal organizations as the Ameri-
can Lyric Theater the St. Louis
Mulcipal Opera Company the i
Los Angeles and San Francisco
Light Opera Associations and
the Dallas State Fair Opera. Ho
has starred with the Civic Light
Opera Company of Detroit in
"Balalaika" and "Show Boat."
During the war the baritone
went on a voluntary six-month
tour of the Southwest Pacific
Theater of Operations where he
sang at almost every outpost
manned by Yanks and since his
return has devoted every spare
moment entertaining men at
United States and Canadian ser-
vice bases and hospitals.

STUDENT
B'.v popular demand a survey
wa- conducted to see ju4 how
the students of Howard Payne
stand on the subject of "Going
Steady." Some have already ox-
;i'esed their approval of it by
i heir actions. Others prefer to
-ay singl by choice or other-
wise while in college. So we
offer you a variety of opinions
iiom a variety of students.
Baldy wis.lv advise; the stu-
dents iiot to start going steady
too early in the year. Rather to
wait awhile so each have a
chance to make more friends.
Bervl Lovelace reasons thus:
"Quite all right. It'. up to the
kids. Of course they can overdo
it by not being friendly to
everyone but if they enjoy going
together power to them!"
On the other hand Kathcrine
Beckham says "It's o.k. If you
think ;ou can stand anyone long
enough to go steady."
Ruth Wilson refused to give
her opinion on the subject fas
if we didn't already know it) be-
cause as .-lie said she might be
prejudiced." But Doc Teeters
Jaculates not one bit bashfully
I'm in favor of it definitely."
Liz Reeves whose opinion
hows a careful consideration
oi all points involved says "If
two people are In love and plan-
ning to be married soon it's o.
k. If they arc 'in love and not
planning to be married soon
don't. If not in love don't even
think of it!"
Mar.lou Cliism and Gus Hay-
worth appear to be just a little
fickle-minded from the tones of
their opinions. Marylou first
says "It's O. K. for those who
can get a man." Then speaking
as if she were the voice of ex-
perience adds "Also it's fun to
steady-date with more than one
guy. Yeah Man!" When Gus
gives his opinion we don't need
to read between the lines it's
here in black and white: "As
long as she's not around it's O.
K. but when the girl In question
is around it may cause a little
trouble if you happen to decide
otherwise."
That man-about-town John-
nie Joiner speaks the viewpoint
of a preacher. He says "I think
especially during the first two
years of college it is practical
and a lot of fun to play the field
and shop around so that when
the time comes for settling down
there will be a wider range from
which to choose."
Horror Week at H.P.C
Ah yes it is here that week of
all weeks. Do you recall that
during review week the teachers
gave you an outline of the past
topics studied and that you i
failed to recognize them as you
should have. If so this means 18
weeks of work to do in one week.
Trying to make the best of
the day each student stares at
the exam .schedule on the bulle-
tin board which seems to stand
out more than any of the posted
events of the week.
As you walk down the hall and
perhaps meet a teacher does it
remind you that you haven't
turned in your notebook? Or do
you forget the notebook and
greet her cheerfully polishing
the ole apple as best you can.
Did you ever stop to think
that It Is also a strain on the
faculty because so many stu
"194G" was the topic of dis-
cussion when President Thomas
II. Taylor spoke to the 6tudent
body January 4. He s'trcssed the
need for patience for things in
the coming year.

OPINION
Lillian Roan has deckled t'na' '
steadies are nice tlilim to hav?

For lack ol a mor original J
i answer Joce Chiistian tell u '
that "Variety is the spice of
life" and .-o it would seem! I
'Gloria Robuctt is Inclined to J
agree with her but she uses ihe
expression "fun to be fancy
free until you find 'The One'!"
A rather surprising remark
comes from Norma Johnson
newlj engage! "It's a great Ke-
if you don't weaken but who
wants to be strong?"
Bill Glllum. a new addition to
our family says "Good deal sure
if you find someone you want
to go steady with it's a good
deal." Then Guy Joe Roberts
who apparently is very happy to
be back sounds almost slap-'
happy as he expresses his views '
"I think it's according to the
weather. When it's too cold to
go out you're still obligated to
have a date and therefore you
might freeze and then what's
the usn of going steady?"
Another point to be consider-
ed in this all-important question
is the financial part of it. Kenny
Hazelett says "it can only be
puppy-love until financial pro-
blems are solved."
Merle Ryman fears monotony
as proven by the first thought
in his dissertation "I think it's
all right to go steads if you '
don't mind being tied down and
have the money it akes to follow
through. It's the first and maybe
final step to marriage and could
be decisive provided the nirl
knows how to attain her objec-
tive." And Bill Tarpley agrees
with his roommate on the ser-
iousness of the matter "Really
I don't think anyone should go
steady until they realize the full
meaning of the term and then
only if they feel "that way" to-
wards each other."
"Rod Myrt" insists that it de-
pends entirely on who it is. Then
says she "Myself I think a girl
should have lots of friends until
she is ready to settle down."
After reading this article we
expect each and every one of
you to cease going steady! But
then there were just about as
many for it as against it so wo
will just conclude that it de-
pends entirely on the indivi-
duals. In closing we offer for
deep and careful consideration
the opinion of a newly wed.
Mrs. Fern Dannelley reminds us
that "You can't get married if
you don't go steady."
dents wait until the last day to
turn in the papers that have
been assigned the past nine
weeks?
With the first examination
there comes a slight head-pain
men tne second one calls for a
"stan-back" oh those dreadful
headaches deep lines mark the
orows ot every scholar (or
should we say "would-be scho
lar") and the eyes have a dark
strained look because of the
much needed slaving over those
uiuuu neeiieu slaving over tnosc
"last chapters" in every book!
Light bulbs litter the waste piles
because many a GO Watt has
been burned our during the
hours of trial.
One good thing is that all stu-
dents can look forward to exams
being over and starting a new-
semester resolving to do better
but most resolutions are broken
in the first week.

Betty Jo Jenkins composed the

No doubt but this was a good
Chapel program everyone en-
joyed it. All the more reason
why we should all tune in for
more of same every Wednesday
emphasis here might be put on
the new time. It's 3:30 p. m.
Let's not forget to support our
BSU on the air.
Average attendance at Morn-
ing Watch last week is listed at
about iorty-tliree. Compare this
with an average IIPC enrollment
of nearly four hundred students.
What's the ratio'' Not so good
huh? No not good at all. Maybe
it's just that "pro-exam slump"
but we'd say that thl. is not
time for a letdown on the .u ..
ing devotion. Sure days are
pretty tough right now so all
the more leason why we need
-omething to help carry us
through. Let's bring that attend-
ance rate up and see if exam
days aren't brighter when wo
give them the right start.

PRE-VUE OF '46
By Liz Reeves
The tiny baby boy paired and
ized in speechless bewilder-
ment as thousands even millions
of people the world round scat-
tered confetti tooted bonis em-
braced each other and .shouted
Happy New Year!
His chubb.v bare feet descend-
ed clo-cr to earth midst the
noi-e and hilarity and as they
levied upon the cool payment
frr the first time the tin. lad
noticed a gre beared man scoot
past as if in a rush. He thought
"Really that fellow's a sight
long giay beard haggard worn
face tired bcwildeied eyes. I
hope I shall grow up to be a
cheery fellow"
And tints 1940 entered joyously
into the world eager for life.
But down in the city of Brown
wood deep in the heart of Texas
weary students returned from
glad gay holidays -leturncd
shaking the dust of the old year
cf their worn shoes dreading
Mio-e coming mid- semester
exams. And rightly so for do
not the instructors make them
terribly hard? Arc they not
enough to tax the heart and
mind of any poison who has
lust completed living a year??
But getting back to our fel-
low 194G. Ho decided to have a
look-see around the world and
where should he pause first but
on the steps of our dear alma
iiiater. Howard Payne College.
Intriguing to Him indeed was
'lie cordial way in which the
more feminine side of campus
life greeted one another "Oh.
darling" "dear how I have
missed you." Did you have a nice
Chris-mas?" "Wonderfullll!" "I've
so much to tell you." "Really??"
Climaxed with an affectionate
tender loving embrace purely
and exclusively characteristic of
two young ladies.
Imagine His siirnrise when Ho
encountered several students to
whom He bowed and wished "a
happy prosperous New Year"
;incl they frowned cloomilv nnd
replied "Probably be like all the
rest" and trudged wearily on
oi course we'll not mention any
names but if you're euiltv.
please what will Ho think?
But the smiles of the vonm
ladies and the loving kind way
in which they treated Him soon
made the young man forget
those grouches and he decided to
linger a while and see what this
place was REALLY like.
Well he found out when rr
Taylor spoke in chapel and of
an tilings He was the subject.
Pretty sunny days continued
for a spoil and '40 saw for the
first time a young man and wo-
man embrace beneath the
weeping willow in the garden

many times ocr the young fel-
low was to cxpei iencc this feel-
ing as month after month sped
past-and but we are getting
ahead of our story.
Surging pounding wild ex-
cited .oung hearts b..at in tune
with one accord he noted a. the
days rolled on BEAT IIARDIN-
SIMMONS! And ball after ball
sank through the mesn stomping
ieet. clapping hands and shout-
ing voices echoed through the
year BEAT HARDIN-SIM-MONS!
Thui quietly and rever-
ently that once wild chaotic
yelling mass of youth stood and
lifted their voices as they sang
their beloved Alma Mater. 'High
above old baou's water.."
And the baby boy began to
realize that He was growing-
older older and He must be
up and away.
So with a wave of the hand
and a smile of good will the now-
grown man deserted our cam-
pti but we iound there was
another to take His place.

Pa.uie Spirit by recalling the
old days when the Alma Mater
the "Line" and other songs and
traditions were sacred to the
students. He alo encouraged
.-port-manship on the part of
the spectators.
B'obbie Hamilton gave the
freshmen some good advice and
lots of encouragement about
wearing their freshmen caps.
Most of the freshmen stood in n
pledge to wear their caps all of
the time to honor the gold and
blue and what it stands for.
A preview of the two coining
games was enacted by Clyde
Vinson representing Southwest-
ern Paul Roberts as H. S. U.
and Harold Dobbs as one of our
Jackets. The games were "play-
ed" behind the curtain as all
lrcshmen were asked to button
up twelve times. After the games
were over Southwestern and
Hardin-Simmons appeared on
the stage badly beaten and on
crutches singing a new version
of the Howard Payne fight song
telling how Useless it Is to trv
to combat the H. P. Yellow Jack-
ets. The pep rally was closed with
the entire student body facing
the Ad Building and singing the
Alma Mater.
First Baptist Church of Gold-
thwaite Texas recently had
ground breaking ceremonies for
