GUYS and DOLLS

Ronald David Bradberry of Dub-
lin recently favored some of his
friends with graduation announce-
ments, It seems that he had sev-
eral exrta high school graduation
announcements and he mailed them
with a short note inside that said
something like this, "I am sorry
this is so late, but I did not know
you at the time of my graduation.
About the gift, it. will still be ap-
preciated." His friends took it as
what it was—a joke, and bought
no gifts, much to Ronald David's
dismay.
Don Casselberry of Kaufman
and Paula Hester of Odessa are a
new "steady" couple on the cam-
pus. Carroll Sultemeier of Johnson
City and Sue Woods of Dallas are
also recent ring exchangers.
Linda Mull of De Leon and Jim
Roberts of Fort Worth are also a
new steady couple.
Fly Boy,
Melvin Allen of San Benito was
recently flying his model airplane,
a gas model free, flight, at the
City Air Port and it flew out of
sight. According to Melvin the
plane will fly quite a distance be-
fore it runs out of gas. So far no
one has returned or reported the
whereabouts of the runaway plane.
There's one sure thing, Melvin will
be more careful about flying his
"jet jobs" from now on.
It almost seemed like- dog sleds
were going to be - coming into
fashion last week. Some Tarleton
■ students had never seen snow be-
fore the snow Dead Week. Some of
the boys from "south of the' bor-
der" saw snow for the first time
and threw their first snow balls.

tained firmly that she did not want
to see "Sincerely Yours" last week
because she didn't like "one" of
the actors. So guess what—Freda
went to the movie and liked it!
The next day when Freda opened
her accounting book, she found a j
picture of Liberace glued firmly
to the fly sheet. She's still look-
ing for the culprit.

tin is working in Dallas.
Polished Soap.
Another culprit seems to be loose
in the Girls' Dorm. This culprit
simply delights in painting soap
with clear finger nail polish. Edna
Spangler of Kermit and Carolyn
Odom of Santo were the latest to
have the gag pulled on them.
Edna and Carolyn also have a
parykeet named Tweety Pie. I
suppose you could call it joint own-
ership even though Edna is mor-
tally afraid of the poor little bird.
