WORK, WORK AND MORE OF SAME-Misses Martha Turner,
Sandie Loveless and Marlene Lamb probably thought the stencils
would never be finished to meet the deadline set for the publi-
cation of the premier issue of the first known campus literary
magazine, Top-notch. Miss Lamb was not present at the shutter-
snapping time, but will be around to receive her issue of the
magazine, Monday, May 8.
Inheres C*she ^wo-^kir^
At least one-third of the organizations and clubs here
at Howard Payne plan to continue in operation next year.
Those that have turned in their lists of officers for next year
are:
Alpha Rho Tau
Life Service Band
Jacket Co-Eds
Urbanites
Alpha Lambda
Cen-Tex Aggies
Phi Epsilon Mu
Jackets for Jesus
International Club
Pi Chi
TSEA
Kappa Delta Pi
Some 35 organizations are listed in the bulletin of
Howard Payne College. *R|tis ye#r most have been function-
ing. Do they plan to function next year? Perhaps not, since
(hey have not been interested enough to either elect of-
ficers or even turn in the names of officers elected.
Next year everyone must be planning to really buckle
down and study and forget joining any kind of club. This
could be one of the reasons why two thirds of the clubs have
not seen fjt to comply with the request that names of all
officers be turned in to the office of Miss Martha St. Clair
by May 1.
The names of the above clubs were obtained at 5 p.m.
Tuesday, May 2. So anlpl'e time was given for late-comers
to get those names in.
There is a purpose for having deadlines, regardless of
how terrific and terrible they seem. One purpose in making
this deadline of May 1 was to provide enough time for of-
ficers to become acquainted with their duties and to allow
them to attend the annual Leadership Conference at Lake
Brownwood. How can they attend if they have not been
elected yet?
We hope the other two-thirds will decide to stay on
next year.
Sophomores Debate Depositing
All Their Many Precious Dollars
In a heated and lengthy discus-
sion at a meeting in the gymnasium
Friday, members of the Sophomore
Class decided to deposit their class
funds in a savings account during
the summer.
President Ronnie Fowler ex-
plained that more money could be
earned for the class if the funds
were placed in a savings account.
A period of confusion followed in
which several motions were made
to deposit all the money, deposit
$200, put the funds in a savings
and loan association and lot the
treasurer decide which place to
transfer the funds.
It was finally decided to put
$200 of the present balance of
$214.97 in a savings account and
leave the remainder out for ex-
penses of Play Day. Members also
agreed to allow the current treas-
urer, Irene Chun, decide the best
place to deposit the funds.
The officers of next year's
Junior Class were introduced at
the liveliest meeting of the class
held this year. A request for par-
ticipation in various contests by
both men and women students was
made by Jimmy Hamilton, neit
year's president.
Announcements and rules of
Round-up week were read to the
class by Odie Windham.
Pi Chi Elects

Pi Chi has elected its officers
for the approaching year again

its activities through, the next two
semesters in the capacity of presi-
dent.

Now Pray Tell Just WHO Has Time
To Do Any Studying With All This?
Howdy, pardner!
Hasn't this been a fun-time
week—with all the beards, Western
outfits, greased pig races, milking
contests, etc., etc., etc. .
Quite some fun.
Seeing EVALOA SILER, GWEN
RUSLER and DENNIS REED ride
"real live" horses over the pro-
posed science building grounds
brought quite a few surprised ex-
pressions.
It seemed as if the whole week
was full of surprised expressions
though.
As you can well imagine, the
sight of the weaker sex, tying
goats and chasing pigs served as
a springboard' for quite a few re-
marks—some of which we're trying
to forget.
Make believe cowboys like CAR-
LENE WESTBROOK, MARTHA
RUSH, ANNETTE BROOKS, MARl-
ANN MILLER, JEAN FLOWERS
and EUGENIA WILSON added
much "color" to the activity.
And to the Cen-Tex Aggiep goes
a big "thanks" for such a fine
Roundup Week.
• * *
After taking a few minutes out
of the daily routine to study the
calendar, we found that previously
"busy" schedules are really going
to be hectic from here on out.
Just to remind YOU:
Play Day. May 6
May Queen Presentation, May 6
Chime Out Ceremony, May 8
Honors Day, May 8
Top-Notch, May 8
Coed Picnic, May 9
Track Pep Rally, May 9
Lasso Presentation, May 11
Senior Day in Chapel, May 12
Leadership Conference, May 12
All this and more!
And finals ... well, we won't go
into that.
No sense in rushing this thing.
Sigh!

And the rains fell...
And so did hopes that the Junior-
Senior GARDEN Buffet would he-
come an actuality.
Have no fear, though. You'll be
surprised -what a little sun can do
—and it did.
So far we haven't found out who
started the rain dance, but we know
some Juniors and Seniors who
sure were glad that they stopped
when they did'.
To JO ELLEN BELL and BILL
ISENHOUR who made so much of
it possible—congratulations for a
job superebly done.

The BSU Executive Council
played host to the new Student
Senate at an informal reception
Tuesday evening.
The conversation ran from the
sublime to the idiotic and back
again.
CEIL VICK, for example, asked
"Is that the through pile?" when
someone offered to take her cup.
See?
These brainy campus leaders.
* * *
And that's about it . . .
Except for this.
If you ever need any stencils
typed SANDIE LOVELESS or MAR-
THA TURNER are the ones you
dan count on.
For the past week, both of them
have been neck deep in stencils and
mimeographing... for why?
Top Notch, of course!
Get your copy May 8.

Bye, now!
liiiilii!
