YELLOW JACKET
TUESDAY MARCn 12 I94tt
Passing
By Gloria Robnett '
T'other day wo were just worn
to a frazzle trying to find some
now fashion dope the better to'
please you with my dears but1
try as we may try as wo might
nothing new did we see in sight.
Who should hear us cussln and
discussing our troubles but our
own "Cap" Shclton who imme
diately dished out some moolah;
(now you know this Is a fairy
tale) and suggested a quick trip
to Hollywood that we might
bring back to our elite campus
a preview of the latest styles.
Hopped an air liner we did.
Immediately if not sooner and
arrived shortly in what Is called i
the "glamour capital of the
world." But oh what should'
greet us but a big headline stat-
ing "Movie Industry On Strike."
Not to bo downed we decided to
take a glance around a few
studios anyhow. Wonder of won-
ders things were running along
smoothly.
Wc watched Bette Davis and
Randolph Scott in a love scene
swooned and noted something
peculiar. As soon as the director
yelled "cut" here they came
running in our direction and by
gum if it wasn't Eloise Wood
and George Brownlee. We picked
up our teeth off the floor and
nsked how come. Because of the
strike a few of HPC notables
had been asked to take over
they replied and the place was
simply swarming with fellow
students. Excitedly we moved on
to the next set to find Ruth
Stephenson bright and spark-
ling as Judy Garland; clever
Romeo Clem Bailey as Mickey
Rooney; Blond Norma Johnson
as June Haver; Jimmie Kight
with the cute smile as Robert
Hobnobbing-

Things .seem to have been aw-
fully quiet around here lately
(due wo assure you to no ef-
forts of ours or anyone that we
know!) Oh well it happens on
the best of campuses. It pro-
bably won't last long somebody
will murder his roommate (say
that gives me an idea) commit
suicide or turn in a theme on
time and then we will have ex-
citement a plenty.
The band has really been do-
ing all the good lately so they
tell us. Mr. Bond is quite pleased
with the progress that the stu-
dent musicians have been mak-
ing but lie urges that more stu-
dents attend band practice.
This column could go on for-
ever but we know that you are
hoping that it won't so wo will
draw the line now.

BACK THOSE JACKETS!
Principles and
by "Babe" Newton
One eye flutters sleepily. Soon
the other eyelash flaps lightly
and stirs a gentle breeze which
plays bumpily across the chenille
bedspreads. We witness the
awakening of our chosen speci-
men of the Coffee Drinker. She
bats the aforementioned eyes
against the G20 glare and
kicking the covers forcefully
across the room croaks
"Roomie have I missed break-
fast?" No? Glory!
Now new life comes to the
drowsy eyes! She will get that
7:00 a.m. cup of coffee!
Soon begins a mad rush con-
sisting of tooth brushes hair
brush bath tub and finding
that the left side of her hair
curls under while the right side
curls up.
Then of course the first clang
of the gong is so surprising that
her practiced hand gives an un-
expected lurch and her last-
mlnuto lipstick sails up the side
of her nose. "Horrors Roomie!
Where's the Kleenex? Wait a
second! No go on and save
mo a place! Horrors!!"
Five minutes elapse The
waitress stands at the head of
the table smiles coyly and de-
mandsWho all wants coffee?
Immediately the trembling "lily
Parade
Walker; John Nelswanger In
cowboy hat and boots as John
Wayne; LaVoo Brown as Gloria
DeHavcn; and Sadie Cox as
Juno Allison.
Soon we heard a golden voice
pouring forth "That Good Old
Howard Payne Line" and dis-
covered Joyce Young in the part
of Deanna Durbin. About that
time a strange figure aproached
a gun was placed in our ribs
and then a familiar voice boom-
ed. T'was none other than Jack
Pearce as Alan Ladd. "Evening
everybody; how you all?" came
a southern drawl. We turned
and found ourselves face to face
with S. L. Harris making a
handsome Kay Kyser.
On the next set was Howard
Payne's own Ginny Slmms Mar-
gie Timmons with Logan Tem-
pleton substituting for Cary
Grant in a very convincing way.
Fresh from his Barney Hale
fame was Arthur Dunn taking a
comedy role as Lou Costcllo.
Moving along wc caught the
familiar words "Come with me
to the Casbah" and discovered
Mr. Frederick Thiebaud as
Charles Boyer.
We then gave whistles and
more whistles as wc approached
a glamour section and just as
we thought wc were greeted by
some of our gals: Mary Greer
Garson Hardin Georgia Hedy
Lamarr Savage Jean Lauren
Bacall Benning Ann Lana Tur-
ner Wells Fleta Linda Darnell
Lindley and the surprise of
them all Miss Gladys Joan
Crawford Hicks.
By that time we were seeing
just too too many stars but a
definite opinion had been form-
ed of our own little HPC group
TERRIFIC!
Teacherality
Having prepared for a lawyer
in earlier years Doctor W. A.
Todd surrendered to preach in
1921 at Gatesville Texas. He was
District Missionary and pastor
in Atlanta and Lubbock; being
pastor of Calvary Baptist
Church which he organized
Dr. Todd attended Baylor and
Cumberland Universities How-
ard Payne College and Fort
Worth Seminary. He received his
B. A. from Howard Payne and a
Th. D. from the Seminary in
Fort Worth. He has been with
H.P.C. for 14 years.
Dr. Todd usually teaches Bible
and Greek but for the past few
years he has been supplying in
eight different departments.
Besides being a teacher Dr.
Todd is also an author for now
he has two manuscripts ready
for the printer. They are: "His-
tory of the Pecan Valley As-
sociation" and "Titus the Gen-
tile Preacher." Another manu-
script which is not yet finished
is "Judus the Traitor."
"My most embarrassing mom-
ent" relates Dr. Todd "was the
first time I met my wife! I got
caught in her hat veil on the
Problems of A
white" of our friend C D.t
shoots into the air. Shortly
thereafter a steaming cup is sot
before her she testily takes a
sip lowers the cup and mutters
"Ish! What's that stuff?"
Thus foiled our heroine starts
her clay! Staggers to an 8:10
and out again at 9:00 where in
the rank bedlam of the second
floor hall stands "Woofy" our
hero and young C. D.'s coffee
drinkln' boy friend (Who's
nick-name is purely coinciden-
tal I'm sure) .The words he ut-
ters to her are full of deep
meaning but she understanding
his soul so well would have
understood had he not uttered a
single word ... Ho says "Going
to English class? Naw let's go
to Red's and Peanut's." At this
crucial moment a bright "Good
morning" reaches their ears' as
Dr. McChrlsty winds her way
along the hall. Now this places
a new light on the subject! Our
C. D. sets her young chin firm-
ly "I shall not participate In
this foul play" she states and
marches herself triumphantly
straight to English 1010. Sits
down blinks dazedly and with
a totally bewildered expression
wonders just WHAT has come
over her.

What Memories
The "Barn" Holds!!
By Bill Tarpley
With a mystery program going
full blast on his radio and prop-
ped up in bed the Barn Boy ob-
serves his room. What memories
must be connected with this
very room. In World War I two
soldiers were assigned this room.
They were a part of the great
force that brought the first
world war to a victorious end.
They had perhaps dated Dump
girls. After they left Yellow
Jacket football boys took over
the Barn. Uppcrclassmen lived
upstairs and "fish" lived down
stairs. Those were the days of
football street paintings the
great Yellow Jacket band the
Co-eds and the immediate ser-
vices of Fish were obtained by
upperclassmen. Fish were told to
do jobs for upperclassmen then;
not begged and coerced.
It was durng this time too
that had we been here wc would
have heard "More and more on
less and less." After the depres-
sion Howard Payne started ris-
ing higher in the world of ed
ucation. Not only did Howard
Payne advance educationally
but also in the field of 6ports.
Memories of Pete Owen "Tos-
sin" Tommy Samuels and "Cy-
clone" Jones will remain in
Howard Payne for ever for they
are a part of that Howard Payne
Spirit. Our rivals were and still
are those Hardin-Simons Cow-
boys. Just to be one of the boys
singing the Howard Payne fight
song from a crowded football
sideline must have been a great
experience. Those famous "Bull
Sessions" might have taken
place In this very room.
Howard Payne advance in re-
ligious work. Those initoals
written on the window sill may
be those of one of our outstand-
ing religious workers who are
outside the United States today.
Howard Payne graduates are all
over the world now. These men
may have called this room home
at one period of their life.
This makes the Barn an out-
standing building. In the near
future the Barn will be torn
down and the boys will have a
new modern building to call
home. The Barn will be a mem-
ory to those who have lived
there. To the future students
the Barn will be only a word.
The Barn will never be a vague
memory to those who have lived
there.
The Barn boy suddenly rises
from the comfortable position
and after reading his dally Bible
readings gathers his books
paper and fountain pen and
starts his nightly studying. With
an apple in one hand and a pen-
cil in the other he concentrates
on the problem Immediately at
hand.

Professor Todd the Yellow
Jacket takes great pleasure In
saluting you as Teacherality of
the week.
Coffee Drinker
before C. D. mounts the Minis
steps. Notes that emerging from
the door comes Yes! dear
"Woofy." Slyly he aproaches and
the words slip from the corner
of his mouth "C'mon kid Let's
make tracks for coffee." She
halfway turns then sighs "Hi
Miss Hicks." Retracts her latest
opinion and heads for Seat B-41.
Chapel terminates. Oh happy
C. D. not to mention fair
"Woofy" and free like two
birds (so classless) they tread
with the many on the daily pil-
grimage to THE place for THE
coffee. But of booths there are
none! Empty that Is. So the
old weapon of friendship is
yanked forth with a "Hi Bill!
Scoot over old pal."
Cute C. D. sits patiently as
vigorous "Woofy" insists that
the waitress Is the most beauti-
ful and charming creature his
old and weary eyes have ever
quite behold finally manages to
order "a cuppa coffee Huh uh
black not Boston." Ah ha!
Our specimen Is quite a toughy
A true Coffee Drinker!
So we leave her in happy sur-
roundings enveloped In strains
of "Oh What It Seemed To Be"
loud discussions of the prospects
for the Border Olympics and
coyly cuddling that coffee cup
B. S. U.
Sure you read it on the front
page now you find it on the
back page; you read it last week I
and here it comes again this
week. So you're getting sick and
tired of this "Romance of a
Century" business when all it
amounts to is a lot of publicity
and nothing you can really feast
your eyes on! Well hold your
hats BSU'ers cause you won't
have to put up with it much
longer. The date for the showing
of the big motion picture has
been set as Monday evening
March 18 and that being not
too many days hence will eli
minate any further annoying
publicity.
Reasons for aforementioned
publicity are really justified
though when you consider that
some unfortunate individual
may not have heard that: "The
Romance of a Century" is the
sound movie about a century's
work of our very own Baptist
denomination. Baptists all over
the South have already acclaim-
ed it a great success so it's just
natural that we can hardly wait
to view and review this success-
ful picture. Remember the date
March 18!
And some more dates to keep
in mind are June 5-12. Mighty
important ones these so might
we take this opportunity to im-
press it on your minds the fact
that BSU days at Ridgccrest
are not too far ahead to bo con-
sidering. But along with your
consideration of the matter
should follow your registeration
fee of one dollar. Let's get a
move on with these fees too
cause we've more than a yen to
see Howard Payne represent a
good percentage of that quota of
250 students set for Texas. It's
a grand opportunity for all who
can attend. Let's make Howard
Payne proud of her representa-
Meditations
"As soon as the soles of the
feet of the priests shall rest in
the waters the waters shall be
cut off." Joshua 3:13.
The people were not to wait
in their camps until the way
was opened. They were to walk
by faith not by sight. They were
told to pack their goods break
camp and march down to the
very banks to the edge of the
river and then stopped and
waited for the river to divide
they would have waited in vain.
They must take one step down
into the water before it would
divide for them. This was ac-
complished when the soles of
the feet of the priests touched
the water not one moment
sqoner and all in complete
faith.
What a great need there is
for us to learn to take God at
His word! The reason that diffi-
culties often cause us to balk is
that we expect them to be re-
moved even before we reach
them. The first attempt to enter
the Promised land was a failure
because the people "saw the
giants." The second attempt
was successful because the peo-
ple saw the Lord. If we will but
move forward In faith the path
will be opened for us.

Attendance is good for Morn-
ing Watch these fine almost
spring-like mornings! And no
wonder when Morning Watch
Leaders Ruth Inglls and S. L.
Harris offer such programs as
outlined for tills week's sche-
dule. "Missions" is the subject
for the week to be outlined by: '
Bill Goree who on Monday I
brought a talk on the subject
"The Great Commission'; Don I
Whitmore who will bring us on
Tuesday a talk on "Russia;" a1
musicale to be heard on Wed- i
nesday morning; Lillian Roan
who will speak on "Argentina
and Venezuela" Friday; and
Milton Leach on Saturday
morning bringing a mesage
"Let's All Be Missionaries."
If by this time you're still
tuned in on your "BSU Blitz"
we'd bo asking if you still tune
in another BSU-sponsored pro
gramthe BSU Hour? Last
Tuesday the program featured
the theme "Hymns;" musical
numbers were rendered by
Truett Black and a trio consist
ing of Velna Hodges Johnny
Beth Jenkins and Jo Zeibig.
Billle Tom Fields was announ-
cer. It's an all-student program
kids and one you'll be proud of
if you will just twist those dials
round to station KBWD every
Wednesday at 3:30 p. m. Keep
'em listening!!

Sklar Is H.P.C.'s
Latest Brazilian
Abraham Sklar is a minister-
ial student from Ports Alcgre
Rio Grande do Sul Brazil. His
father and mother arc Jews and
opposed his entering the minis-
tery. After finishing high school
he worked in an office trans-
porting material in Brazil.
In 1941 he visited a Baptist
College In Ports Alegro Rio
Grande do Sul Brazil and Mrs.
Harley Smith wife of the mis-
sionary there spoke to him
about becoming a christian.
During the next four years he
heard the gospel of Jesus Christ
and on May 20 1945 he was
converted. Two or three months
later he felt the call to preach
and surrendered to that call. His
parents persecuted him for leav-
ing his church to accept Christ
and preach the gospel and re-
fused to help him in his educa-
tion. He felt It God's will to
come to the United States and
Howard Payne College to edu
cate himself to be more effi-
cient in the Lord's work.
He came to the United States
from Brazil on the ship "Cear-
aloide" and arrived in New Or-
leans. He recently entered How-
ard Payne as a freshman.
He wants to do God's will in
his life and would like to remain
in the United States and work
with the Spanish people or Am-
ericans. He desires to give in-
formation to mission volunteers
to Brazil and help take the
gospel back to his people. He
would also love to teach foreign
languages to mission volunteers.
He speaks Porteguese Spanish
French Jew and English.
