Twenty-two young men dashed
madly onto the football field with
one arm upraised in a pantomime
to the rel'ree often enought to be
rewarded. Eight other young men
and two of the twenty-two, ran
to Dub King, the horn blew, and
they ran pell-mell onto the hard-
wood floor often enough to also be
rewarded. All of this running and
dashing was duly rewarded Mon-
day when Coach Gus Miller pre-
sented athletic awards to the
aforementioned young men in
ejiapel.
Because most of his dashing end-
ed on the other side of the double
stripe, fullback Howard.. Gracey
was nominated to the All-Texas
ConfVejice tearp and given spec-
ial^ryontioh on the program for
his high-Scoring record and his all-
conference position. Because he
was a demon on defense, and «an
ogre on offense, guard Dick Liv-
ingstone was named on the Little
All-Ameyican team and was also
recognized on Monday's program.
Holt, Bishop of ; Of the twenty-two football let-
opal church, South termen, only five will be lost by
graduation. Only three basket-

Your President
Says
My most .sincere thanks to the
members of the Class of '42. In
'the things that we have under-
taken, counting successes and
losses, I am sure that we all have
enjoyed them to the fullest.
To«the old saying, "That a
chain is as strong as its weakest
member;" I think that .is true in
accounting for the many success-
es of our class.
It has been a sincere pleasure
and privilege to have been the
president of- your class. Greetings
to you, Freshmen, alnd I hope
that your one-year-stay in Texas
Wesleyan college has been a most
pleasant one. I hope that next
yeayve may all be together and
form-' a^^TPW)* class and have as
much fun as we have hiwi-fhis
year. ^
I sipcerely wish for you a most
successful year, Tfbalth, and, above'
all, happiness. ■ •

Present Broadcast
Miss Charlotte Phelan and Dr. J.
W. Simmons are presenting broad-
casts over two Fort Worth sta-
tions.
Miss Phelan began a series of
Texas Wesleyan News broadcasts
March 8. She goes on the air
air for five minutes each Wednes-
day morning over station KTAT on
the program called "Polytechnic
Parade". This program is spon-
sored by Polytechnic business men.
Miss Phelan writes her own con-
tinuity.
Dr. Simmons, in cooperation
with Mrs. Raymond Davis presents
a program called "In Behalf of
Parents". This series was begun
in October and will continue until
June. The program is broadcast
from KGKO at 8:45 each Satur-
day morning. «
Harold Ehremsperger
Inspires Students
"I think you will forget what
you have learned here in school,
later lifet but you will not forget
the personalities." This was the
statement made by Harold Enren-
sperger, professor in North West-
ern University as he stood before
the Texas Wesleyan student body
Monday morning in assembly.
Mr. Ehrensperger,, is a specialist
in religious drama, and has made
a study of the Passion Play as given
by the Bavarians.
While in Bavaria, he studied
their customs. Everyone's great-
est ambition is to be the passion
play, the speaker declared.
The Bavarian people have^chang-
ed, in the last ten years, their
philosophy will lead to death and
suicide, he -informed the audi
ence.

Flag Signifies
Fish Supremacy
Today the class of '42 reigns
supremely! The green and white
flag, signifying their complete au-
thority, floats «high and majestical-
ly above Texas Wesleyan cam-
pus. After much interference from
the Sophomore class, the Fresh-
men of '42 finally outwitted the
class of '41 amid shouts from the
Fish and Sophs, and mounted the
key to Fish day atop the flag pole.
; The Hag which .signifies so much
is a green rectangularvpiece of ma-
terial in the center of which is a
iiuge fish with '42 in the center.
Credit for this flag fcoefe to
Betty Lou Foster" and her"ubiquit-
ous assistant, Jimmy "Drizzle
Puss" Norton, idle of the cam-
pus. Much handwork and many
days were spent on this emblem
in order to make ,lt the most
beautiful ever to fly anywhere.
The Sophomores tried every
conceivable trick up their sleeves
t\prevent the Freshman from rais-
ing th$fr' flag and having Fish
day, all of which were most un-
successful. One Joe Strawn was
known to have said that the FisH'
of '42 would have no Fish day,
Tough luck, Joe.
The class of 142 Tras truly proven
to the Texas Wesleyan student
body that they are definitely capa-
ble of being known as the best Fish
class yet.
I

know that genial gentleman, Mr. Mating, r.'nulnways has a<
smile that is truly a smile!
The class of '42 wishes to extend their thanks for
being a swell friend of the Fish class. Mr. Matthis
is the debate coach, and his speakers have accompan-
ied much under his able leadership. He is a man
who always makes his class feel good especially
early in the morning, by making them laugh! He
is the math and government teacher.
Our best wishes to you!

Scores of frantic, timid, scared
Freshmen roamed the halls and
TWWjrpus of Texas Wesleyan Sep-
tember 16, 1938, with that far a-
way look in their eyes. In spite
of a sunny smile and the best looks
of intelligence possible for a high
school graduate to give, the words,
"There goes a Freshman," rang in
our ears. However, when entrance
credits were settled and registra-
tion cards were completed—"Well,
say, Freshman life isn't as bad as
I heard it would be."
But, wait! I'm afraid some-
one spoke out of turn.
"Off the sidewalk! Frog hop!
Take off that m^ke-up!" The
Freshman says to himself, "Jeep-
ers creepers, somebody must have
spoken too soon."
..It was not long until we were
offered Fish caps and for only
seventy-five cents. (I think they
cost only a quarter.) These caps
were labeled with Slime and
were pretty green and shiny too.
Finally by chance, or maybe by
custom, a meeting was called for
the election of class officers. Very
capable officers were chosen, and
under their leadership our Fish
class made history.
Greeting the Fish co-eds of the
campus was the Korosophian, Su-
san M. Key rush week. On Mon-
day night Koro had a carnival;
Tuesday evening SMK honored the
girls with a picnlt at Lake Worth;
Wednesday was a demonstration of
"School Days" by Koro. SMK
gave a glimpse of Mexican life,
serving a Mexican dinner Thurs-
day.' Friday and Saturday nights
were formals, Koro entertaining
with Princess Night at which Miss
Mary Helen Phillips was crowned
princess. SMK entertained with
a Showboat.
During the next period ol^veeks
there was a calm during which
time much attention was given to
the study of readin', wrltin', and
'rithmetlc. The Fish enjoyed sev-
eral socials, but things were un-
usually quiet.
Then with a boom, how these ;
Sophs did got to work. The good-
natured Fish were kind enough to
keep house for upper-classmen as
well as unstack their own. Two
Fish girls learned to walk very
well to the tune of "Rain, rain,
go away; come again some other
day; we wanta go home to mam-
ma.
Bright and early one morning a
service ^iTTgj^ inyJiager awoke to
find all his grease buckets empty
with a note attached, "For de-
tails see Texas Wesleyan flag
pole." But tough "Wick, Sophs;
thye Fish plans had not been made;
«ould someone have fallen for
fake story? Tsh, Tsh.
During this time the sports of
the Fish girls and boys were tak-
ing place. The girls' sport of
field hockey, basketball, soccer and
baseball, "captained by Margaret
McMahon, June .Marshall, Mary
Helen Phillips, June Marshall, and
Dorothy Vinson respectively, made
a score in the class history. Fresh-
man boys played for Ashburn's.
By this time the Sophs had well
decide tdhat the jolly green fishes
were surely essential on the cam-
pus.
There is a great future in store
for the dear ole class of '42. They
are the business men, society wo-
men, professional sportsmen, and
the scholars of tomorrow. At least
we were successful in fighting
through with our colors of green
and white waving triumphant^
over the cam#us. t > ,

Jill Edwards in
Pointers", will appear ^
Wesleyan on Friday, March 17 at!
9:45 a. m. This will be a lyceum
number.
Miss Edwards is today's fore-
most speaker on the subject of
pesonality. She graduated from
Oberlin college and has done grad-
uate work at Northwestern Uni-
versity. She was the "Jill" of the
"Jill and Judy" team on NBC, and
has been educationc.1 director of
radio station WAAF, Palmer
House, Chicago.
Jill Edwards was brought up in
Chicago, a daughter of medical
missionaries. Three trips around
the world have contributed to her
background and her ta|ks are il-
lustrated with stories^Jfmecdotes,
and legends gathered from many
peoples and many philosophies.
She has recently had published
by Bobbs-Merril her book "Per-
sonality Pointers," which has been
a best-seller in its field. Many
clul^jf use it as a working text.
Miss Edwards, an exponent and
example of charm both in charac-
ter and person, brings a definite
message. She leaves seven "Point-
ers" with her audience as to how
each one may develop his or her
personality.
Jill Edwards is popular not only
with young people but with men
and women. Men's groups have
found that her lecture is the most
inspiring a,nd entertaining they
have ever heard.

A Toast To Our Sponsor
Ladies and gentlemen, let us introdcue none ottfer than the Freshman
class sponsor, that well-known, well-liked and a versatile "all-around
fellow," Mr. Furmon D. Rutledge, better known on
the campus as "Red".
Although, Mr. F.D.R. is only a mid-term graduate
he is a member of the Texas Wesleyan Faculty and
seems to be starting his college life over again as
Freshman sponsor.* .
To all who know this "swell guy" find him lack-
Rutledge ing In nothing, and with the poise and genial per-
sonality of a veteran college professor.
Sneaking for the entire Freshman class, may I say to you, Mr. "Rut-
ledge, "Best wishes forever and thanks a million." -
