developing the grounds, landscap-
ing a Sloltog hillside and laying
the foundemon for a garden. Bee
keeping is also , a favorite pas-
time of his, which "I have been
neglecting and will soon be getting
back with again," he said.
When asked how he happened to
come to Texas, Dr. Conditt said,
"I was hoboing in California,
sleeping in a T model Ford for
three months, (which is the cause
for my hair standing on end) and
left California headed for New
York. I found when I got to
Texas that I liked it so well, I
thought I would stay."
The most peasant experience in
Dr. Conditt's life has been the
realization of a network of friend-
ships throughout the country.
Many former and present students
are included • on this list. Dr.
Conditt has traveled throughout
the United States, spent two and
one-half years in Europe and sev-
eral monhs in Palestine. "I have
found TWC the friendliest school
that I have known," he said.
Dr. and Mrs. Conditt, the former
Helen Clough, lives at 4740 Erath.
They have three children. Marion
W. is pastor of a Presbyterian
Church at Winters, Texas; Janet
is married and living with her
