Class Will
Meadows Places
In Vocal Contest
At State Pan-Am
Eleanor Meadows, TJC fresh-
man, won first place in vocal solos
at the annual Pan-American Stu-
dent Forum of Texas held April
24 and 25 in Austin.
Eleanor, who was state secretary
last year, was the only college stu-
dent from Junior College who at-
tended the meeting which was held
in the Stephen F. Austin Hotel.
Sponsored by the Good Neighbor
Commission of Texas, the Forum
is composed of High School and
College Chapters. The Good Neigh-
bor Commission sponsors the an-
nual meeting in an effort to foster
better understanding between
Spanish speaking students and
English speaking students.
The G.N.C. awards an annual
scholarship to an English speaking
student to attend any Spanish col-
lege, and the next year the schol-
arship goes to a Spanish speaking
student which allows him to attend
the college of his choice in Texas.
Highlighting the meeting was a
Fiesta where the 900 attending
students saw a group of dances
given by the different clubs in
their native costumes.

TJC Adds Three
New Courses To
'53-54 Schedule
Students enrolling in Temple
Junior College for the first time
next year and returning sopho-
mores will find very few changes
in the school catalogue.
Three new courses have been
added and some minor changes
made in biology courses.
In addition, one new instructor
has been added. He is Durward
Howard, who is band director and
music teacher in High School. Mr.
Howard also will teach Applied
Music in TJC next fall.
Two new courses are being of-
fered in Art. Art 123 A, a continu-
ation of Art 113, will give stu-

vanced hours in this subject. Art

administration.
Some minor changes in the re-
vision of Biology 113 and 123 have
been made and a change of de-

Weather Fails To
Dampen Teacher,
Pan-Am Club Party
Despite the warnings of a tor-
nado, the Pan-American and Fu-
ture Teachers Clubs held their reg-
ularly scheduled combination club
party Monday night.
While an attendance of 20 mem-
bers was expected, only 11 were
present. Though the weather hin-
dered the planned activities, every-
one had an enjoyable time just
eating and talking.
The party, which was held at
Mrs. Marie Spence’s home from 6
to 8 o’clock, was scheduled to be
held in the yard. But again the
weather had the last word, so food
was served buffet style on Mrs.
Spence’s porch.
The Habomai Islands and Shiko-
tan consist of a half dozen islands
and numerous small formations in
a 60-mile chain off Northeastern
Japan.
BEWARE DROWNING
Did you know that drowning is
more prevalent among college-age
persons than any other age group?
Drowning ranks as the principal
non-motor cause of deaths among
people from 4 to 44 years old ?
These deaths include not only
swimming accidents but also falls
into water while working or play-
ing near it and accidents involving
boats ?
The death rate by drowning has
decreased by almost two-thirds,
from 11.2 to 4.2 out of every 100,-
000, since the inauguration of the
Red Cross aquatic instruction pro-
gram in 1914?
In 1951 Carroll County, Ky., had
its first outdoor fair in 30 years.
