OUR OBJECT'
The time for editorials is past. We are in the present now, and
the present is to win. Words are needless, for each .one knows his
duty. Today we play football with our brother institution, on his
home ground. Our objective quite naturally is to come home victors.
There is no need to rehash the value of our presence or how we must
fight to win. Those who have heard, as we all have, the pleas of the
coaches, yell leaders, and the team, and yet remain obdurate, will nev-
er, never, have the spirit. > . • .
/ Tarleton spirit. Friends and students, we of the J-Tac have fought
and died with the team. It is our. duty to publish the account, wheth-
er favorable or not, and truly we can s^xjtjiat,. WE have the spirit.
Everyone on the stall' will be at that game. Count them.
Twelfth man, as you go on the field today at Arlington resolve in
your mind to fight, not with fists or missies, but with your spirit and
, determination. Go on that field with a will to win and we will come
back—
VICTORS
I AM JUST A MINUTE
Some people use me. Others
abuse me. They forget it takes
only sixty of me to make" an hour.
I am just a minute, yet how you
use me will determine your fu-
ture. The future of men—nations
of men—-of eternity itself — de-
pends upon me. Yet I am just
a minute.
For your future I hold pleas-
ure, happiness and prosperity. I
offer you opportunities—golden
opportunities—by the thousands.
If you are to have pleasure, hap-
piness and prosperity for your fu-?
ture, you must grasp these oppor-
tunities I offer you now.
If you lose me, I am lost for
ever, for when I go,. I go forever.
I take with me the- opportunities
you fail to grasp—take them with
me to eternity.
Use me now, while I am with
you, and your hours will be profit-
able. Use me wisely mow, and I
will promise you a future of plea-
sure, happiness and prosperity.
Neglect me, shun me, and I with-
hold these from you.
If you waste me now, it will be
easier to waste the next minute,
and the hour, and the next hour.
Use me now,, and it will be eas-
ier to use the next minute, and the
hour, and the next hour. It will
be easy for you to make opportun-
ities all through your life.
Yes, I am just a minute, yet I
represent eternity. I am born of
eternity, and I return to eternity.
I am old—old as Time itself.
Though I am here but once I have
watched through the ages, and
have seen men live and die, loye
and hate, in peace and in war,
And I, the minute, held their des-
tinies.
I am just a minute.
I have gone—forever.
THINK IT OVER.
DUMP NEWS
We do hope you missed us last
week—we simply got stranded at
the ball game. It was sorta thril-
ling now, wasn't it?
Speaking of ball games, our
bunch will be well represented at
Grubbs. Lucille and Hazel, Tor-
chy and Kat, Gaylena and the lit-
tle 'un, Jewell and Fay—in fact,
nearly everybody you can mention
ill our whole section of the Dump
it is a thrilling experience, we
know, and we just can't wait.
Being a preacher's daughter
must be an exciting thing. Lu-
cille was rushing all over the
Dump wanting to know where Ed-
dy was. Its her new home now.
The Little 'Un got a little excited
at first—she thought there was
something personal in it.
Didja notice Torchy didn't go
home? She's not interested in De-
Leon very much. She has that ole
far-away look in her eyes, and
sings, "California, Here I come."
Hank won a quarter in a cer-
tain bet and took Us all to the Var-
sity. Wasn't that just too sweet
of her?
Well, ole gang, we're with you.
Pour it on Grubbs.
■A mew club has appeared on
pur campus. The Liberty Bell
Club. The members are all
cracked.
STANDLEE HOUSE NEWS
Light housekeeping ain't what it
used to be,, at the Standlee house. Two
of the old members are gone, but we
have one new one, which evens things
up some.
There's Connie, the jolly red-headed
junior, whose part is to entertain;
Oneita, who though in hex- senior year,
is just as sweet as we juniors. (You
see, the rest of us are juniors);
Gladys, from Selden—'nough said;
and Thelma Of the freckled face and
melancholy disposition. That's all.
We think Tarleton is a great place.
What about it, .folks? And don't we
just have one grand faculty body?
Three cheers for them both!
Miss Wilma Wren spent the week-
end with her parents and friends in
Rising Star.
BURLESON'S
Gang, are you going to Grubbs?
We are; in fact, I don't know of a
one of us who is not going to be there
helping take care of that twelfth man.
Langford had a visitor for a while
Sunday, when his sister came to see
him.
Sanders and Hartsfield went home
thib week and reported a fine time.
They brought back a souvenir which
may be seen in the middle of the floor.
The'y also brought back a grudge, but
that will be left out.
News is scarce, so we will sign off,
hoping- to see everyone at Arlington
Thursday to help us pour it on Grubbs.
SAUNDERS HALL NEWS
We are rather late in giving' in
our news from the Hall, but since
we have reformed we will promise
to have our news in on time here-
after.
Since this is our first time to
appear, we think it will be best to
introduce ourselves. The James
Brothers, Bronston and Bella,
known as "Jessie and Frank;"
Key Curl, or ."Shorty;" Ralph
Bradley, or "Brad;" Orlene Cook,
or "Sis;" Wesley Foster or "Wes;"
Joe T. Wood more familiarly
known as . "Dad" or 'Piney Woods'
and Neel Eubanks or "Slime."
There has been quite a commo-
tion in the Hall over the loss of a
picture of one of the "Dump Dar-
lings," belonging to "Slime" Eu-
bank. A dollar reward has been
offered for the said picture if re-
turned at once;. "If found please
send to Registrar's office and re-
ceive reward."
"Shorty" Curl went home this
week end in order to' attend the
M. E. Conference at Waco with his
parents.
"Sis" Cook in company with Mr.
Saunders visited homefolks awhile
Sunday. ~ '
Stay right in there and fight,
Plowboys. All of us that possibly
can 'are going to attend the Grubbs
game. Some of us have old high
school classmates attending the
Grubbs school so this adds another
reason why we are so anxious to
see them, "snowed under." Fight
Plowboys, Fight.
US AND CREW
We're so thrilled over the prospects
of going to Grubbs we hardly know
who is who this week. And, because
of certain happenings, this article
may appear somewhat blank.
Occasionally we have mentioned
something about somebody being
wrecked. The long hinted fact really
took place last Friday evening when
the Santa Maria accidentally got tilt-
ed over. We are glad to report that
no one was injured. For special rea-
sons further information is being
withheld. Henceforth and forever on,
we are again being turned over; for
it is wrong, and besides, ,it is not
right!
Something is about to happen to
Billie. Two nights to the show in suc-
cession, and with a new acquaintance,
is—er—suspicious. Good luck to her,
though!
Bob had special company Saturday
and Sunday evenings. Was she pleas-
ed? 'NoJgh said!
We have not said much this week,
but we have the consolation of know-
ing there is a lot we could say—if we
wanted to. Really, we are saving our
energy for Turkey Day.
We'll see you at Grubbs!
ASHBY HALL HINTS
Fellow Students and Rea,ders: We
have been duly instructed by "The
Power That Be," to present our news
full force—and when we obediently
set our humble selves to the hazard-
ous task there is the usual unfailing
wail of the author, "There isn't any
news."
About half of our hall went home
last week-end. We that were left
surely did rattle around. The ones
gone were: Laura Scott, Bobbie Rob-
ins, Ruby Pittman, Jewell Grisham,
Lena Wilson Ruth Howell, Shirley
Pinson, and Hula Mae Howerton. The
ones who stayed at the dump were
duly rewarded by the more fortunate.
Erline went somewhere and with
some one Saturday night. We can't
say for sure with whom, but anyway
just ask her what time it is, and you'll-
see.
We've been attending: the one cent
sale at "The Ladies' Store." We're
always right there when it coines to
bargains. Boys, if you see any of us
in a new dress don't embarrass us by
asking where we got it.
Louise Ging and Gertrude Blumen-
tritt had lunch out in town Sunday.
They ..have been complaining' ever
since, but not because they didn't have
enough to eat. \
Thelma Clark and Dude Robinson
spent Saturday night with Hazel;
however, it was Sunday morning that
most of the sleeping was done.
Mabeth, Velma, Delma, and Helen
attended the B. Y. P. U. social Friday
night.
Our most efficient chaperon, Mrs,
Ashby, spent the week-end at home.
Bonnie has been having a terrible
time. Sheik left town this week-end
and Bush has just come back. Some-
body please advise her what to do.
Bertha has two new dresses; we
have not found out where they came
from.
Poor Frances had a terrible time
this past Sunday. Her mother and
boy friend came over from Gorman.
We aren't tatling, but some one nearly
broke up a happy home.
There were several men in our hall
tonight; they went somewhere.
We are tired and out of news, so
we how bid you good night one and
all. You'll hear from us,, again some
time.

HIKERS
Our hike Saturday was a cross-
country hike, and was very much en-
joyed by all. We found climbing
fences and jumping ditches to be great
sport.
Misses Gough and Lewis are the
heroines, because they found our black
bucket for us. They received a liberal
reward, which was an invitation to
meet us five miles out and lunch with
us, some Saturday. ,
Mary and Elmo did not hike Satur-
day; as yet they have not given a
good excuse. Girls, you had better
make up a good one.
Covey went home again this, week-
end-
We were glad to have Miss Fellman
with us again Saturday.
Plowboys, if we are not at Grubbs
twelve strong, on Turkey Day. Just
remember that we are with you in
spirit anyway.
One of "John's" budding young cor-
porals was heard to state that life
with a brunette wouldn't be so dark.
He S. A.ed to the show Saturday
night, I'll bet.
