Leopard Spots
It won’t be long now before
school is out and vacation days be-
gin. I believe the words of the
great Clem Countess can be quot-
ed here with much reverence:
“School Days, School Days,
“There sure ain’t many more.
“Guess I’ll go to class for a
change
“Rather than sneak by the
door.”
Our college has certainly been
well represented this month. Stu-
dents went to Kilgore for the For-
ensic Meet and the choir traveled
all over Central Texas on the
choir tour.
One fact in particular was pick-
ed up at Kilgore. Phi Beta Kappa
members are handsome as well as
wonderful track stars. Just ask
Dana. Also Miss James was found
to have very strong nerves. Es-
pecially when a stranger walked
into her room in the middle of the
night.
The Choir Tour was highlighted
by a trip to Corsicana. Betty Lan-
caster had a rather embarrassing
experience behind the curtain
there. In an attempt to praise a
young man from the FRIENDLY
CITY, Betty accidently said the
wrong thing. It wouldn’t do to
print what she said.
Bill McLaughlin is still sewing
KnH-nnK on his shirt. It doesn’t pay
While in Abbott, the Choir had
the pleasure of being asked over to
Miss Watson’s now home. Since all
have told us how nice it is, I be-
lieve 20 or 30 of us will go up some
weekend. Think she would mind?
Sophs are really sweating over
exams. I heard one say that if
exam questions get much longer he
would have to buy a calendar to
write his notes on. Wonder what
type notes would take that much
room ?
Fred Allman, ex TJC basketball
star, really made a name for him-
self last week for Lamar Tech in
the Lone Star Conference tennis
tournament. Since receiving a
scholarship to Lamar, Fred has
been playing bang-up tennis. He
led the Tech to the conference
championship.
I want to thank you all for sup-
plying me with material for this
column throughout the year. It has
really been fun snooping around
finding jokes or incidents to write
about. It just goes to show, no
matter how educated you may be,
a little ignorance will come shin-
ing through.

The 1953 State Junior College
Forensic Meet will be held here at

second in Women’s Extemporan-
eous Speaking, and Dana Hierony-

Sophomore Class Has Annual
Dinner Dance At Country Club
The Sophomore Class had its an-
nual dinner dance May 8. This
formal affair was held at the
Temple Country Club.
The theme was Hawaiian. When
the members and their guests en-
tered the dining hall, they found
their places at the tables marked
by canoes bearing each person’s
name. To add more accent to the
theme, Hawaiian leis were
aon+o/t each person to wear.
:f
plete with palm trees, native mer*,
huts, and native dancing girls.
Curtis Mayes gave the invoca-
tion. Larry Coleman, president of
the class, welcomed the members
and their guests. Then he intro-
duced Virginia Creamer, toast-
mistress for the evening.
The menu for the dinner con-
sisted of “jungle salad, mumbo
jumbo, Hawaiian nugget, pheas-
ant steak, tropical dream, and co-
conut milk.”
Dinner guests were introduced
by Anna Kurtin. Virginia then in-
troduced S. P. Cowan, president of
TJC, who made a short speech. Ray
Kosel, accompanied by Anna Mor-
gan, sang several numbers, fol-
lowed by the reading of the Class
Will by Dana Hieronymus. A sex-
tet composed of Elvenor Adair,
Dean Gilley, Carroll Stephens,
Edna Lisenbe, Ilynn Obermiller,
and Betty Lancaster sang “Pagan
Love Song.” Duane Shiplett then
entertained with several guitar se-
lections.
Elvenor Adair read the class
prophecy. The gyoup then sang
“Hail Junior College.” Larry, on
behalf of the Class of 1952, pre-
sented a gold compact to the class
sponsor, Miss Grade Watson, for
her untiring work and helpful guid-
ance throughout the year.
The program was followed by
dancing. At this time H. M. Daw-
son, associate dean and registrar
of the college, took pictures of the
group.
The hard work involved in the
presentation of the dance was evi-
dent in the beautiful decorations
and splendid program. The follow-
ing committees were responsible
for the work: Program committee
was headed by Virginia Creamer,
with Elvenor Adair, Ray Kosel,
Jamie Barnes and Harry Macey on
the committee. Peggy Proctor was
chairman of the decorations com-
mittee. Royce Swaim, Lois Ann
Derrick, Eugene Bigham, Hymon
Countryman, Joh*:sy Palmer, a^d
Robert Caldwell made up the rest
of the committee.
Table favors were made by Anna
Kurtin and her committee com-
posed of Lucille Lindemann, Car-
roll Stephens, Anna Thompson,
Betty Lancaster and Dean Gilley.

In the spring a young man’s
fancy turns to thoughts of love and
baseball. Since most of the TJC
boys are successful at dodging ole

thoughts to softball.
