RAMBLING AROUND
High Schoolers Express Interest In TW;
Scholarship Results Announced Later
Approximately forty high schoo
seniors became aware of life on
the TWC campus this weekend
when they participated in "Week-
end at College," sponsored by the
Student Senate.
Main objective of the program,
put into effect for the first time,
was to test the seniors for _two
scholarships, one to be awarded
to a boy and one to a girl, that
will pay their entire tuition for
their freshman year. A secondary
objective for the program was to
acquaint them with TWC
Results of the test will be an-
nounced at a later date.
The program proved successful
in the secondary objective in thf-.t
the high schoolers time and again
expressed their approval of the
college and the students.
Several were heard to comment,
"From what I have seen this
weekend, TWC is the school for
me."
Many of them said they were im-
pressed with the students, faculty,
administration and the classes
they attended. But top on the list
was the friendly spirit and the
Christian atmosphere of the cam-
pus.
Upon arriving here Friday aft-
ernoon, they were registered in
Men's Hall and then taken' on a
tour of the campus.
The Wesleyan Singers enter-
tained them Friday evening at a
banquet with the faculty and ad-
ministration. They were the guests
of the Senate at Kiss Me, Kate.
A breakfast with Senate mem-
bers headed their Saturday agen-
da and was followed by a visit to
Saturday morning classes. Each
senior had an interview with his
possible faculty advisor.
That afternoon they took the
scholarship test and engaged in
an informal discussion with the
intersorority-interfraternity coun-
cils on the pros and cons of social
clubs.

Deep Personal Loss
Dr. Click's death was called a
deep personal loss by Drs. E. M. and
Gladys Bowman. "He was a close
personal friend who was more like
a brother than just a friend to us,"
they said.
The Bowmans had a long as- !
sociation with Dr. Glick, working I
with him at Texas Wesleyan Aea- :
demy and coming with him when j
he came to the Fort Worth cam-
pus. Dr. E. M. Bowman was dean
at the academy and had earlier been
a classmate with Dr. Glick at
Southwest' Texas State College.
"As was true at TWC," Dr.
Gladys Bowman commented, "he
was loved by both students and
faculty at the academy. Whether as
president, dean or professor, he
was never too busy to give coun-
sel or guidance. .
Chief Assets
"One of his chief assets," she
continued," was his ability to en-
courage and inspire.
His great understanding and his
patience in helping work out any
type of faculty or student problem
have endeared him to all who have
been associated with him.
