Club Meets With
Mrs. Weldon Leach
The Tarleton Campus Club met
Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock at
the home of Mrs. Weldon Leach on
South Mcllhany avenue.
Miss Mai-y Marrs had charge of
the program which was based on
the subject of the ^Hawaiian Is-
lands. She gave the history of the
islands and Robert Douglass talked
in a very "interesting way about
conditions as they now exist in
Hawaii. Mr. Douglass has lived in
Hawaii all of his life. He was born
on Oahu Island, one of the group
of Hawaiian Islands. He was grad-
uated from high school and also
from a boys' school in Hawaii, af-
terwards being sent here to school
in the A.S.T.P. at Tarleton College.
Following Mr. Douglass' talk,
Miss" Marrs showed some moving
pictures made by Dr. and Mrs. J.
C. Terrell on a trip to Hawaii sev-
eral years ago. As the pictures
were shown Mr. Douglass told
v/b:'": they were made and gave
further interesting explanations of
the various scenes. Hawaiian melo-
dies, consisting of one solo and one
orchestra number, were played on
the Vietrola following the pictures.
A parliamentary drill was led by
Mrs. A. J. Spangler, club parlia-
mentarian, the drill being con-
ducted in the form of questions as
;to what one would do under certain
circumstances if one were a presid-
ing officer.
After the program and drill the
hostess served refreshments of con-
gealed combination salad, saltines,
cookies and coffee. Paper napkins
carried out the Thanksgiving col-
ors.
Bouquets of roses and other fall
flowers were used to decorate the
rooms.
Club members present were
Mmes. G. O. Ferguson, S, F. Davis,
J. Thomas Davis, A. J. Spangler,

ly made of vegetables and minia-
ture turkey.

the left of the hostess to assist
her. Other members of the class
who helped in preparation were

The meal was followed by a very
enjoyable conversation in the liv-
ing room with all the class and
its guests partaking.

Miss Bierschwale—
piled bibliographies on numerous
topics, . -
To her staff of library assist-
ants Miss Bierschwale has been an
inspiration; to the Library Com-
mittee she has proved a constant
source of guidance and vision; to
countless students she has endeared
herself through her sympathy, un-
derstanding, and unselfish service.
Many Tarleton students and ex-
students will testify to the pleasant
hours they have spent as guests
in her home, where she entertained
them with delicious food that she
had prepared and stimulated their
cultural development by conversa-
tion, books, pictures, music, and
travel experiences.
Miss Bierschwale has several
wholesome hobbies: she has col-
lected rare books; she enjoys fish-
ing and tennis; she is an accomp-
lished cook and a fair gardener;
she is a pianist of no small talent;
and she proves the ideal hostess.
Miss Bierschwale has enjoyed
exceptional advantages of study
and travel. Her early education she

and at Ward-Belmont. She took her
B. A. degree at Randolph Macon
and her M. A. at Columbia. Sub-
sequently she did graduate work at
the Universities of California and
Chicago. In 1927 she spent four
months abroad, visiting England,

she particularly enjoyed a course in
graduate English under professor
Emest Hunter Wright, whom she
regards as the most inspirational
teacher.
The J-Tac staff joins the stu-
dent body, the faculty, and the com-
munity in the voicing a sense of
distinct loss in Miss Bierschwale's
departure and in wishing for her
life's . choicest blessings.
Summary Of
WORLD DEVELOPMENTS
The highlight of the world news
this week is the meeting of the
"Big 3", Roosevelt, Stalin, and
Churchill, in the Middle East. Un-
confirmed press dispatches which
came from Turkey asserted that
Germany would be demanded to
surrender or be bombed to destruc-
tion and that the ultimatum would
provide for stripping- Germany of
all her war gains. It is thought
that the leaders are also discuss-
ing- the possibility of neutral Tur-
ey's entering the war on the side
of the Allies. This important meet-
ing will affect all the peoples of
the world and is an important fac-
tor in the present war happenings.
The Alliesi launched another
fierce attack on Berlin on Decem-
ber 2. Much damage was wrought
on the German capital, and it is
reported that the Allies have des-
troyed great sections of the city
with tons of bombs. The bombs fell
in' an area which until this time
had not been hit. The Allies are
determined to wipe out the German
capital city area by area.
Southwest Pacific Headquarters
reported that bombers flying in
the Pacific area from the Mar-
shall to New Guinea have sunk a
heavily-laden Japanese transport
and a large tanker, damaged two
destroyers, and downed twenty-one
Japanese planes. Heavy fighting
is being continued in the Pacific.

Bulletin Boards
Are Symbols of
School Activities
NOTICE
-Any student contributing an ar-
ticle to the J-Tac may have it
accepted and graded as part of
his theme assignments if he
turns in to the sponsor a copy
with his name and the course
and section numbers of his Eng-
lish class.
Few of us pay any attention to
the things around us. We may pass
by something1 several times a day
and not notice an object until some-
one calls , our attention to it. Have
you looked at the "bulletin boards
lately? There are many things of
interest and importance there be-
sides grades. Most of the time, we
are in too big a rush to get to that
mathematics class to notice what is
on the bulletin boards, but take a
few minutes off some day and look
around. You will find many inter-
esting things there.
What is the greatest pleasure in
life? Is it love? Is it money? There
is a very entertaining article on
this subjeet on the bulletin board
near the door to Miss Westbrook's
classroom. Stop some day and read
it.
Near the door to room 204 in the
Administration Building you will
find a copy of one of the most im-
portant documents written in the
twentieth century; the Atlantic
Charter.
Miss Mahan has a large, colored
picture of a scene from Hamlet
posted on her bulletin board. The
picture shows Hamlet (Maurice
Evans) and Ophelia (Katherino
Locke) in a scene from Act 3 Scene
1 of the play, which is very famil-
iar to all who are taking English
401.
Do you suffer from stage fright?.
The posters on the Speech bulletin
board urge all students to enroll in
Speech 301 and become more at
ease when speaking. Why be timid?
Enroll in Speech 301 now! '
Freedom of speech! Freedom of
religion! Freedom from want!
Freedom from fear! What a privi-
leged people we Americans are!
The pictures illustrating these four
freedoms, which were published in
Saturday Evening Post and later
became the four most widely pub-
lished pictures in America, can be
found on one of the bulletin boards
on the ground floor of the Admin-
istration Building. It will be many,
many years before these pictures
are forgotten.
We all know two things which
are posted in the halls, the book
lists—those grim reminders that
we have not read that book for
English yet—and the grades. Al-
most all of us read these at some
time or another. But there are
other perhaps more enjoyable
things posted.
In answer to a complaint about
women broadcasters and lecturers
who affect what they believe to be
an Oxford accent, the following-
poem was printed in a newspaper
and later cut out and posted on a
bulletin board on the second floor.
WUMAN'S POT IN THE WULD
WAW
Mrs. Q, Puffingham Spanner,
Rose to deliver her speech;
Beamed on the "girls" in a man-
ner
She felt would captivate each. •
She'd studied "diction" at col-
lege
(Class of Eighteen Ninety-two),
Which meant she fairly oozed
knowledge,
And dripped with eloquence, too.
Said she: "Gulls: with the wuld
at waw, every wumman must lun
to do huh pot. Ah country is wuth
wucking faw now maw than evah
befaw. We gulls must gawd huh as
we would gawd a fought. The pyaw
hots of ah wummanhood, the rich
and the paw will paw fawth new
cuhrage as in the waw yuzz of the
fust Wuld Waw. Remember, gulls,
you must wuk and wuk hod in
awdaw to do yaw pot in winning
the waw."
And at this point in her tirade,
, She braced herself for applause,
Feeling her discourse was high
grade,
But all she heard was guffaws.
Saddened, she started to make
off, -
But Madam Chairman sincere
Said, "Mrs. Spanner, your take-
off
On Rathbone's the best of the
year."

A good line is the shortest dis-
tance between two dates.
A certain newspaper editor had
cause to admonish his son on ac-
count of his reluctance to attend
school.
"You must go regularly and
learn to be a great scholar," advis-
ed the.fond father encouragingly;
"otherwise you can never be an
editor, you know. What would you
do, for isntance, if your paper
came out full of mistakes?"
"Father," was the reply, "I'd
blame 'em on the printer."
Then the father fell on his son's
neck and wept for joy. He knew
that he had a worthy successor for
the editorial chair.
