EXES" WELCOME TO HOMECOMING
Texas Wesleyan College! Texas Woman's Col-
lege! Polytechnic* College!
These three names mean Alma Mater to a
great many persons. These three schools are one.
First a co-ed school, then a woman's college, and
a co-ed school again. Yet traditions of the first
student body have been parsed down until they
have become such an integral part of the school
that,,the loss of tradition would mean its down*
fall.
: Yes, I'm to "be a Texas Wesleyan., graduate,
and you are a Texas Woman's College graduate,
and YOU finished at 'o*kl Polytechnic'. Yej; v
little has- changed other roan name. Of course
many of the faculty members of the more recent
Texas Woman s College are not here now, and
no professor who taught in Polytechnic. Yet the
spirit of the past faculties and the, spirit of the
past student bodies are keeping the spirits of tlie
present faculty and student body alive. You are,
gone and we'll be leaving, yet your spirit and 'mine
shall live on with the school. - *
As Texas Wesleyan College approaches an-
other graduation, yes, a graduation which fea-
tures the largest class in its history, when sixty-
< four young persons will receive degrees* as you
received degrees before them, memories of your
graduation come back to you. And as you recall
what a glorious time commencement was to you,
and as your memories ^urn back to the 'ole school',
we urge yt)u to yield to the temptation to visit
your Alma Mater.
We want , to be among the group who will
welcome you back. May the Rambler, the former
, Handout, your college paper as well as ours, take
this opportunity to extend an invitation to you as
ex'-students of this school to return for the final
week of activities. Attend the May Fete, the ex-
student reception, the graduation exercises. They
are planned for you, and of course we'll be present.
„We want to welcome you back to Polytechnic—to
Texas Woman's College—to Texas Wesleyan !„
INVITATION TO ALL EXES
The Rambler staff extends a "Cordial invita-
tion to ex-students and former T. W. C. teachers
to come to our closing exercises which begin May
29. In fact, „we earnestly urge., you to be present.
We feel confident that your presence will be a dis-
tinct contribution-in making these last few days
successful.
Come back and enjoy the fellowship of form-
er classmates and teachers and meet the present
student body who have followed after you in the
pursuit of knowledge.
You, will recall some of the happiest days of
your life. Days of hard work'and mental strain,
yes, but days of adventure and romance. Live them
over again. It will do you good and it will be a
Special treat for us. '
You have helped to make T. W. C. what it is.
Wp am prnnd nf you, and would like to tell you
ro in .person. YSm will make us happy if youwi)!
five us that opportunity during the concluding
-this schooKyear.

We save time by rushing through the impor-
tant things of life in order to have time to spend
on the unimportant thmgs of life.
Life is not in drawing a good hand but in
playing a poor hand well.
Read only the best literature for life is too
short to £tudy everything. ' ^

A DAY id TEXAS

Being a sophomore, I was fB^ig-
ged out of bed al/«i
cause of the fact that clocks
have no regard for Fish day and
fall to alarm at -1 a. in. After
beJns dumped. In .a tub full o!
cold \vat«r and sOaked a few min-
utes, was dragged out and made
to "frog-hop" the length of the
hall several times (and if you've
never "frog-hopped," you don't
know bow hard it is), then
dressed for breakfast in the us-
■ ih 1 manner except using differ-
ent shoes. „ »
F r o g-hoppod t o b- r e a k-
fast, ate cereal minus milk and
drank coffee without cream am!
tuftai, frog-hopped out to the
flagpole, made obeisance to the
freshman flag the small number
of twenty or thirty times. Frog-
liopped (If you're getting tired
of that—so did we) to tlio dor-
mitory and was transferred into
a freak by artistic freshmen.
Spent the morning obeying all
sorts of fantastic orders given by
power-crazed flsli, and enjoyed
it immensely.
Ate lunch in Poly in
preference t o bathing a n d
dressing for the short recess pe-
riod. Worked like mad for fres'i-
men until three p. m. when
their picnic was scheduled. End-
ed my duties by singing "Birm-
ingham Jail" while doing a frog
dance. Went to bed exhausted
and slept until time for the
freshman program which ended
class activities' and made fresh-
men and sophomores friends, in-
stead of members of their rival

"It's all in the mind and in
the tradition of'May frolics. The
fact that it's spring doesn't mean
a thing, a man can be just as
romantic if the oil heater is turn-

heater is behaving properly."

And leadeth . me to expose my

Before my classmates.
Yea, though I study, ft*.,-
My firaln refuseth to work.
He prepareth logarithms
For me to write in trig.
He giveth me low grades
And my work runneth over.
Surely zeros shall follow me all
The days of my life and I shall
Dwell In tlie trig class forever.
