Faculty For 41-42 Have
New Instructors
When undergrads enter the univer-
sity in September, several familiar
faces will reappear in a new role--
as faculty members. Youngest and
best remembered will be Jack Dean
'40. 'Dean received his Master of
Music Degree at Eastman Conserva-
tory this spring, and was immediately
hired by Dr. White. Louise Bolton
'34 will be sufficiently recovered from
an operation to take charge of the
Cowgirl Band. Another new face will
be that of H. F. Ballinger, who- will
be instructor of physics. -Students
met their new head coach during
spring football training last year. He
is Warren Woodson, a top-flight ten-,
nis player, as proved by summer tour-
nament competition. "Uncle Joe"'
Smith '31 will be back .as assistant
coach, as will Moon Mullins, who will
coach the frosh football team. An-
other popular instructor who will re-
turn to the campus after a leave of
absence of several years,. is W. Car-
nace Ribble. Ribble has been obtain-
ing his Doctor's degree at state in
addition to being custodian of Little
Campus Dormitory at that institution.
The Ribbles will replace Prof. and
Mrs. Emmett Landers, who will move
to the University apartments. Dr. R.
N. Richardson, beloved faculty mem-
ber who has been on the faculty of
. the University of Texas for the past
year, will return as head of the de-
partment of History. Miss Loyce
Adams is scheduled to return this fall.
Miss Adams is one of the finest in-
structors of typing and shorthand we
have ever had.
With these fine additions to our
faculty, students are assured thatrhen
and women of exceptional ability will
be their instructors for this coming
year.
Dormitory Deposits
Indicate Great Year
With practically every dormitory
on the campus nearly filled, univer-
sity officials are looking forward to
the greatest year we have had since
the depression. Smith Hall has only
limited room for girls who will room
and board on the co-op plan. Fergu-
son has more boys on its list than at
any time in the past ten years. There
is room for only one or two girls in
the Senior Dorm, and Mary Frances
Hall is nearing the "full" sign.
Dr. White has asked the Bulletin
to impress on the milids of students
and ex-students that there will be a
little more room available as soon as
the neiw dormitory for boys is com-
pleted, Tell your friends, and let's
have full halls and classrooms for our
50th year.

he said.Bulletin Pays Tribute to
A)utstanding H-SU Friends
Without a doubt one "of the most
loyal friends Hardin-Simmons has
ever had is Judge C. M. Caldwell of
Abilene. For more than a score of
years this West Texas cattleman and
oil man has been a dynamic force in
every activity and move toward the
building of a greater Hardin-Sim-
mons. Not only does he give much
valuable time to the various causes of
the University bit when he enters into
a thing, he always backs his state-
ments and actions with ability and
money. The writer knows from first
hand knowledge that Judge Caldwell
was very high in the esteem of the
late Mr. and Mrs. John G. Hardin
and facts have proved that he was
highly instrumental in obtaining their
gift for the university.,
The Caldwells have pledged liber-
ally for the erection of an edifice in
memory of the late President Sande-
fer. He has served untiringly on the
board of trustees for years. He is a
thorough business man whose best ef-
forts are -always available to Dr.
Whitd and members of the adminis-
trative staff. Several times through-
out each year the Caldwells donate
beef for campus barbecues, and at
every ex-student meeting of impor-
tance the Caldwells can be counted
on to cooperate to the fullest de-
gree. They have been on the "month-
ly pledge" group since that plan was
founded years ago.
Not only have Judge and Mrs. Cald-
well educated their own daughters at
the university, paying full for every-
thing, but dozens of ministerial'stu-
dents and young men and young
women can thank the Caldwells for
their" college educations.
The ex-student's association in this
humble way wishes to say "Thanks
and God Bless You," to Judge and
Mrs. Caldwell, and to call a peculiar
situation to the minds of all ex-stu-
dents-neither Judge nor Mrs. Cald-
well has ever been a student in Har-
din-Simmons. They are merely phi-
lanthropic people who see the value
of Christian education and are giving
time and money to see H-SU become
a leader in this field.

Ex-Student's Offfice
Ex-students will be very fortunate
if they continue to receive their copies
of the Bulletin on schedule. For the
past year the little fellow who carries
the bow and arrow has been making
periodical visits to ex-student head-
quarters. The first casualty was
Janet Comer '40, secretary in the exes
office, who became Mrs. John L. Wil-
son. The next in line was Ada Ruth
King '42, who became the bride of
Fagan "Moon" Mullins. Miss King
was chief file clerk,
On July 4, Yvonne Hassey '42 and
head stenographer celebrated Inde-
pendence Day by becoming Mrs. Mar-
-shall Bromley. Yvonne will continue
in her present capacity and Marshall
will continue with his education along
with his work as night manager of
Western Union. Services were per-
formed by Rev. Douglas Carver '27,
pastor of the University Baptist
Church in Abilene.
Not to be outdone, Miss Blanche
Heflin '41 has permitted the Bulletin
to scoop the announcement of her
marriage on June 22 to L. D. Kite of
Abilene. The couple were married in
Sweetwater by Rev. J. M. Sibley '27,
and will make their home in Abilene.
We are open for suggestions on how
to curb this trend of events in as
much as it seems that as soon as our
girls become proficient in their work
some fellow comes along and takes
them away from us. If some of you
girls have been worrying about the
possibility of your finding a husband,
may we suggest that you just obtain
employment in the ex-student's of-,
fices and let nature 'take its course.
Preston Studies in Chicago
Professor Herbert M. Preston, vio-
lin instrUctor and director of the uni-
versity symphony orchestra and
string ensemble, is completing work
on his Master of Music Degree in
Chicago this summer. Mr. Preston
has written us saying that he has
heard from Joedene Propst (Joe Al-
len), and several other H-SU exes
since he arrived there. Preston's let-
ter indicates that he will have an
abundance ,of new material and ideas
for his theory classes this fall.
