I opened my eyes then shut
them. Was I dreaming or was
the sun really shining? What if
the G:20 bell had failed to awak-
en me and I had misled my de-
licious (?) breakfast? Presently
the swet aroma of coffee float-
ed into my room and I could
hear the bacon frying in the
skillet. In a few minutes I heard
a sweet voice saying "Wake up
darling. It's time for breakfast."
Ah this was living! No lights
suddenly blurring into your eyes
no bolls .scaring you out of
bed and no poor little Freshman
standing you on your head in
order to make sure you were
awake.
I finally crawled out of bed
and actually found my house-
coat where I had left it. Since
my hairbrush and cosmetics were
In their usual place instead of
being hidden in some one else's
closet it only took me ten min-
utes to dress Instead of the
usual thirty.
I walked into the kitchen with-

Jacket Band Makes
Post-War Debut
After an absence of over a
year the Yelow Jacket Band un-
der the direction of Mr Bond
staged a comeback in Its fir-it
public appearance on the chapel
program Thursday April 18.
About 20 students are regular
members in the band and their
concert showed that much time
had been spout in preparation
for their first concert of the sea
son.
The numbers played by the
band included a Spanish March
a Waltz the well known William
Post March and the Poet and
P( aant Overture. The program
ended with the beloved Jacket
jFight Song.
Was Never Thus
was greeted by four smiling
faces rather than ten sleepy
waitresses. The coffee was so
nice and hot and every piece of
toast had butter on it. Of
course mother apologized for
having peaches instead of straw-
berries when I asked for them
by that name.
After breakfast I wandered
around the house and tried to
get used to the carpet and short
halls again. After a tew min-
utes I found myself in the par-
lor by the bookcase cvd btlg
oh so thankful that I didn't have
to read a single one of the books.
I especially enjoyed the funnies
that morning since no one was
reading over my shoulder or tell-
ing me to hurry. And when the.
postman came I didn't have to
become engaged in a knock-down
drag-out trying to get the mail.
Even though the quiet was al-
most unbearable and I didn't
know what to do with all my
spare time I think Easter holi-
days are swell and I vote to
have them again next year.

Buddy Jones presidential candidal.-
In the recent student elec-
tion had three characteristics In
common with the phy-lcal and
mental giant who once held the
presidency or the United States
according to Billy Tom Fields
campaign manager for said can-
didate. Similarities were the
physical appearance the hon-
esty and the Christian gentlo-
manllucss of the two as well as
other qualities of leadership and
dependability which were -o
ably discussed by the eloquent
Billy Tom.
Speaking for Edward Garrett
also running for the presidency
was Harold Dobbs who remlnd-
!d students of Garrett's influence
over the citizens of Brownwood
because of his father's bu-Iness
being located ln this city. Tho
fact that Edward was a stu
dent in Howard Payne before the
war and "knew all the ropes"
was an influential nolnt for
emphasis.
The third candidate for nrosi-
dency was Truman Taylor who
was upheld by Bobble Hamilton
as 'the qualified leader."
