Plan Ahead . . .
The school year is rapidly drawing to a close. Students
and teachers are preparing for final examinations. The
sophomores here at TJC are awaiting graduation, and every-
one is anticipating enjoying the summertime.
The coming of summer, for some will mean more school,
for others work of some sort, and for still others a time for
just taking life easy. No matter what is done it will be a
change. The summer season brings with it a certain amount
of rest and relaxation also.
Let us not forget our future education while planning the
fun to be had this summer. In only three short months
school will begin again. We should already have definite
plans as to what we are going to do and be making arrange-
ments to carry out these plans.
It is our responsibility to ourselves to prepare ourselves
fully for the position we intend to hod someday. It should
humble each one of us to know that someday we will be
the builders of society.
Happy or Unhappy . . .
Have you ever met someone in whose eyes you could
see the sunlight shining through at you? I am sure that
you have, because there are such .people in this world; and
many of us long to be like them.
What makes that person beam so? “Happiness is the
root of all gladness,” so let us dig and find that root. To
be happy on the outside, we must first be happy on the
inside. There must be a joy for living, serving, giving, and
loving. These characteristics must usually be cultivated
until they are attached to the person and become a habit
of his. These habits may be hard to cultivate, especially
when jealousy, hatred, dishonesty, ' selfishness, and stub-
borness are so easily acquired, but any good habit is worth
working for.
The personality or disposition of a person is usually under
his control. That is why many people have good personali-
ties, whereas others are moody and brooding all the time.
The person with a good personality or disposition probably
has as many troubles, or maybe more, than the unhappy
person, but he realizes that brooding or worrying won’t and
can’t help a bit. The person with a bad disposition may
actually have more things to be happy about.
We all agree that character influences' our personality.
What we really are is going to show through someday.
Let’s all begin working on that “better self” to show it
through. If everyone adopted this attitude, our papers,
magazines and books would have to find other subjects to
deliberate on, rather than crime, delinquency, murder, theft
and other habits which could have been cultivated into love,
honesty, tolerance, patience, and kindness. You, your future,
and the country’s future are at stake.

COMPLIMENTS OF
STEWART'S
Children Apparel
Assembly Given
By Choir
The choir was quite flattered
when asked to put on an assembly
program last Friday. The program
was vefy similar to the ones they
performed on their tour of Central
Texas cities.
Special numbers included songs
from the Harmony Maids and the
Chordaires. Also duets were given
by Martha Havlik and Wayne
Liles, Janice Hancock and Steve
Brown. Janice and Steve were ac-
companied by Bozie Townsend.
The program was closed with
“audience participation” in the
singing of the very popular song,
“He’s got the Whole World in His
Hands.”
Drama Finishes
Term Projects
With the closing of the semister
comes the mad rush to finish term
projects. The TJC Drama Depart-
ment is no exception.
One requirement, other than
passing tests, is turning in a term
project. This year there are many
varied pi-ograms being used by the
students.
The Drama Production Book is
usually selected by most students.
But this year, since- we have a
most unusual class we have most
unusual undertakings.
Brents Davis has directed a play
for his work. Included in his tasks
were the creation and building of
a set, designing of costumes, su-
pervision of make-up, arragement
of lights as well as directing the
play itself.
To fulfill the necessary work,
Wayne Liles is building a Greek
Theatre. As a foundation he is
using small wire which will be
covered with papier mache, this
will disclose the finished product.
To add to the properties of the
Drama Department, Bob Burleson
is making sound effects, machines,
although no one knows what kind.
The rest of the class will turn
in Production Books which are
composed of anything pertaining
to drama.
Although the contests are over,
TJC speech students are still per-
forming.
Their latest appearance was at
the Temple Optimist Club.
Appearing on the program were
Marian Hieronymus, giving a ser-
ious, patriotic selection, “I Speak
for Democracy,” followed by Des-
sie Yates with “Hi Sally,” a hum-
orous monolog. Closing the pro-
gram was Stanley Williams pre-
senting a cutting from “Tea House
of the August Moon.”
ANNUAL PICNIC SLATED
In the spring a young man’s
fancy lightly turns to thoughts of
. . . a sunny May morning, swim-
ming, golfing, and a delicious pic-
nic lunch, all shared with many
friends! Perhaps this isn’t exactly
what Lord Tennyson had in mind,
but all Temple Junior College
thoughts and immediate plans are
centered about the annual Lunch-
eon Club All-College Picnic, to be
held this year on May 14 at the
Riverside Swimming Pool in Bel-
ton. Luncheon Club officers are
selling the tickets.
Make special plans now to attend
this last all-school party for this
year; help make this spring se-
mester one we’ll all remember for
the good times as well as for the
fifteen hours on the permanent
record!

A Word From The Dean
building. You have been coopera-
tive in helping us formulate new
policies regarding the student body
and the college. You have been
diligent in your activities that
brought high recognition to TJC.
In the years to come as ex-
students, I hope each of you will
enjoy the best of health, success,
and accomplishments, but what-
ever degree of these three you
may attain, I trust you will always
know that what you have been to
us these two years will always
rank superior in our hearts.
A word of congratulations to the
graduates of the class of 1958
falls short of expressing my per-
sonal feeling toward each of you.
I see the first freshman class of
the new Temple Junior College
building being graduated. You
have been patient and understand-
ing with us in ironing out the
wrinkles of our new campus and

Golden Stairs
Along with their trip to. the
University of Texas the College
Players attended the Baylor Uni-
versity production of “Golden
Stairs”.
This play, which was extremely
abstract was in direct contrast to
Shakespeare’s “King Lear.”
In “Golden Stairs” the plot as
well as scenery was of unusual
nature. All of_ the scenery was
composed of piping welded to-
gether to create the desired ef-
fects.
Throughout the play extraodi-
nary sound effects and magnificent
light were used to intensify the
mood of the production.
Baylor’s ability to create such
work has long been admired by the
•College Players, who attended the
performance.
