4—THE J-TAC
Tuesday, October 5, 1954
? 7 ? ? ?
By Jerry Stubblefield
Teas! Teas! Teas!.. Now the.
freshmen girls will have mail
whether it is a letter frbm home
or riot. Some of the social clubs
will sponsor a dance in the rec
hall after their teas, so if those
high heels tend to pinch-just run
in the dorm and change into some
comfortable lowheelers. If the
weather doesn't change soon,
those fall suits will be a trifle
warm, but a dressy dress will suit
the purpose.
What will be the most popular
color with girls this year? It
seems as if black would look lus-
cious with- those pink shirts the
boys' are wearing.
Wear Uniforms'
Most of the boys take pride in
"catting' out" now that they aren't
requested to wear their uniforms
everywhere they go, and the girls
are just about as happy as they are
about it. The uniforms look nice,
but civilian clothes l&ok much nic-
er.
There is quite a collection of
boys' pictures in the rooms over
at the girls' dorm. Eileen Shoe-
make recently received a huge
picture of John Bales who attend-
ed summer school. He must have
fallen for that pretty, led haii
of yours, Eileen. And in just five
■weeks, too! ,
There is a picture of Dub Snoc-
grass in Marilyn Frazier's rox>m;
Dub is -working now; but he takes
his Army physical soon, so he may
be on K. P. duty in a few weeks.
MAJORETTES
BEGIN PRACTICE
Lynn Lacy, B&rbara Rusberry,
and Norma Mullinax are the three
jnajoi'ettes for the Tarleton Band
; r^his ' year. They have been -busy;
•< since school started practicing on'
. a march routine £intf' an ensemble
.""for theii-. appeali&rice'at football
games and other activities of • the
. forthcoming year. .
' • Lynn Lacy is a business major
~ from ■ Winters. This -is her iresh-
jnan year in" Talletoh. Lynn has
had three years of drum majoring
and is head majorette this year.
She likes popufar music, and foot-
■ .. ball and track are the sports of
. interest to her.
Barbara Rasbe'rry,a freshman
from Dublin, is majoring in physi'
cal education. She has been a ma-
. jorettefor four years in the Dub-

and western music, and is interest-
■ ' eel in all sports.

ence'as a drum major. Norma is a
; freshman and majoring in music.

football, and baseball.
- Appreciative Audiences
Seems as if: some of the boys
here at Tarleton are avid tennis
fans. At any rate they certainly
take an interest in Miss Falman's
tennis classes and are very appre-
ciative audiences.
Miss Lillie Lillard was given a
surprise birthday party last Tues-
day. The boys in her Vocational
Agriculture speech class made her
a cake, and they entered the class-
room sing-ing "Happy , Birthday.'
There, certainly was a good
movie showing- at the Majestic
last week. The name of it was
"Demetrious and the Gladiators"
with Victor Mature as Demetrius,
It was wonderful, and that gladia-
tor school made Tarleton look like
a sort of paradisei ' /
Congratulations to all those who
won their offices and places on
the yell staff! And to those of you
who didn't win-there are lots more
nice things here at Tarleton you
can try for-so don't be discourag-
ed you'll have your day-
Catching Cold?
Mrs. Barekman seems to have
quite a number of patients these
days. Gloria Ghroman caught a
cold germ from somewhere, and
lots of other students must have
caught the same one. It could be
this weather: it's so'hot and stuffy
one day and cool the next.
It's been said that some of the
freshmen boys are beginning to
• have coins from stomping so much
in the dining- hail. If those little
ants were really crawling- around
on the floor, the entire ant king--
dom would become extinct in a
week.
Has anyone been falling- down
stairs besides Sue-Walker? As of
today she's fallen down stairs five
times! Please come home, Jim-so
her mind won't be so far away.
Hey There!
The current song hit is "Hey
There" j by Rosemary Clooney —'
has
tils';ghat's- 'jqst fine
now —"but let' sevei'ybody. be sure
and move thosg. stars over when
nine weeks exams come around.
Attention! As you can see, I do
not havfe a name for my column. I
would like to have a catchy name
for it, and I need YOUR help! If
you know a catchy name I can use.
please send it to the J-TAC, Box
