Tarleton Looks to the Future
Not only'doe^ the former John Tarleton Agricultural College
have, the new name- of Tarleton State College to start out on
another fifty years, but TSO. also has many plans for making
improvements. The main and most immediately effective are
plans for building a new stadium and remodeling the girls*,
dormitories.
In,the past Tarleton has progressed amazingly under efficient
and concerned leadership, and more progress will be made in
the "approaching years under management that is just as
capable.
Tarleton is growing all the time in body and standard. The
suggestion has already been made that this college be made a
senior school instead of staying a junior school as it is now.
Tarleton' is said to have one of the highest .grading systems
o;f colleges in the state of Texas, and the teachers even admit
that they grade more strictly here than in most other colleges.
With-this kind of a beginning after only fifty years, there is no
height too high to be reached by the college.

Thanks to .Jo Crawford for
pinch-hitting for me last week.
He? Dick was well taken care of

tect, Jo's roommate, but not so

glad to see her when she came
back from El Paso.
Buckshot Blackwell went to El
Paso with ns.
Skipper Rneed has i been going
with Tackett.
Billy Jack Maupin, do you know
what you are, doing?
Have Potty and La Dell made up
again? It seems that they can't
stay broken up,
■Qlusty is on the loose, but it
probably won't be for long, be-
cause already he is hounding the
back door of Moody. On the re-
bound, Rusty?
Johnnie Johnson and Anne
Jeanes have been going together.
Has Ed Basham lost out 'with
Jane Tativm—she has been seen
with Richard (Sleepy) Vaughn.
Betty Jo Loveless and Randy
have broken up again—but this
has happened before, so it may
not be definite.
Gerry Hanson, what is this
about you and Lou Cunningham?
What would that picture on your
dresser say if it could talk?
Chatter and Anne Sheffy were
together the other night.
Monroe Sanders, where have you
been hiding?
Dale Witcher, have you been
silontly pining- for Beb.e all this
time, or is that a Fort rumor?
Bebe and Lacy apparently have
broken up—Lacy was with Skipper
last week.
Bill Merrick was hero last week-
end ant] went with Martha Nor-
man.
Eddie Nixon was with Billie
Steinman part of the time last
week-end. But he finally wound up
with Beverly Virdell,
^ Are'Julia McDonald and Travis
Smith going steady?
Bettye Hooper and Bob Hughes
are still going together—has he
forgotten his girl at home? .
Truman Willmoth could-wakeup
and get wise. How many hints does
he have to have?
Dot Ogden and Herman Thomp-
son made up during homecoming
week-end. Will it last this time?
Alfred White, which girl did
someone tell you that you wanted
to*go- with?
From what I have heard this

ping, Peggy Acres Elmore and her

Mi;, and Mrs. Leonard Hancock
have been married forty years.
Now that in itself is news, But
there is more. You see Mr. and
Mrs. Hancock met at' Tarleton
when they were both attending the
college here in 1903-04-06.
Theirs was a Tarleton romance.
So all you young swains and
Juliets "take heed. Who knows,
that boy that sits in front of you
in history class* may someday be
your husband. That cute li'l gal
that flirts her head off with you
in lab may someday be your better
half.
Who knows? Wouldn't it be'fun
to glance into a crystal ball and
foresee the future. Who will! be
among the happy young married
couples when the class of ;49 and
the class of '50 hold their re-
unions?
