Each year individual classes have
a program during the Tuesday as-
sembly period. Today, the fresh-
man class presented their pro-
gram, highlighted by the crowning
of the Freshman Queen.
Included in the program was a
drama entitled "Wild Nell, Pet of

fice." The cast included Bobbie
Nell Smith of Fort Worth, as Lady
Vera de Vere; Billy Cogdell of
Snyder as Handsome Harry; Troy
Bryson of Fort Worth ' as Wild
Nell, Tonv Hernandez of Natchi-
toches, Louisiana as Silting Bull;
Terry Roberts of Fort Worth as
Sitting Bull's helper or accomplice,
and Jean Cardwell as the Indian
medicine wo\nan.
Style Show
There was also a style show with
twelve girls wearing different ap-
parel to represent the twelve
months of the year. Fay Here-
ford of Lometa commented on the
different outfits which carried out
the theme of the gay and carefree
days of the "Roaring Twenties," as
did the rest of the program.
The queen was erowne?! with all
the ceremony and lace that is tra-
ditional with the Freshman Queen.
Tender Love Story
Another part of the program was
a tender story of the love affail-
between "John and Marsha." John
was played by James Iludgins of
Midland, while the job of portray-
ing Marsha was left up to Jean
Cardwell of Paris.
Another scene was that of a
school room in the days of four of
TWC's professors. Bettye McDaniel
of Fort Worth, played the part of
Augie May Howell, assistant pro-
fessor of English; Don "-V.issey of
Odell, portrayed Dr. Walter Gliek;
Marjorie Parker of Handley did the
part of Sarah S. Works, dean of
women, and James Iludgins was
Sam Brasvvell, business manager.
Freshman Protect Queen
During Week-End Riots
Ail was quiet on the Wesleyan
campus Sunday night until thirty
minutes after midnight when the
freshmen invaded in an attempt to
raise their flag as a part of the
annual Fish Weekend celebration.
The freshmen succeeded in plac-
ing a ladder against the pole by
12:45 a. m. and victory was in
sight when Gene Boettner scaled
the pole to the top with the ban-
ner hidden in his shirt. The
thundering sophomore defenders
charged from the north just as
Gene started to tie the flag in
place. In the free-for-all that fol-
lowed the ladder was kicked away
Deadline Extended

Deadline for ordering of caps,
gowns and announcements has been
extended until April 5, according to
Travis Small, manager of the Stu-
dent Union Building. Previously,

pending on the quality desired.

ment may be secured for 90 cents.

SCOOP! Pictured above is the Freshman Queen, Charlene Word.
The Rambler scored a scoop on this picture in that it is the first time
that the picture of the queen has appeared in the publication so soon
after she had been revealed. Freshmen successfully protected their
queen during the hectic week-end from the sophomores.
Texas Wesleyan Receives
Publicity From Across Town
Texas Wesleyan received a nice
bit of publicity from the school
across town recently when The
Skiff, student publication of Texas
Christian University, published a
front page story on the TW Stu-
dent Union Buolding.
At present in the process of or-
ganizing a committee for the pur-
pose of obtaining a student union
building on the Texas Christian
campus, several Texas Christian
officers at TWC were consulted
concerning the advantages of hav-
ing a student union building.
"I do not see how it is possible
to have good inter-student rela-
tions without a student union
building", Jake Beidler, president
of the Wesleyan student council,
told a group from Texas Christian
last week,
j "In a school of any size there is
a constant need for social activity
and if I were building a university
the student union would be second

Easter holidays will begin

day, April It), it was announced
b.V the Dean's office last week.
Classes will be resumed on
Tuesday, April 14.

The Skiff continued, "TWC's
student union was built after a
drive started by The Rambler,
student newspaper".
President Dick Ramsey of the
TCU student council recently stat-
ed that if the university were to
obtain a student union building,
"the backing of the entire student
^iody will be needed," The Skiff de-
clared.
DIRECTED BY HARDIE
Three Objectives
Decided by SCRA
Three objectives were decided
upon by the Student Council of Re-tf
ligious Activities''at its March 24
meeting.
They are as follows:
1. It is the purpose of SCRA "to
bring through prayer and work,
a real revival $t Texas Wesleyan
College."
2. It is the desire of SCRA "to
encourage student leadership of
the religious organizations and sup-
port leaders who believe that 'a
true witness delivereth souls.'"
3. It is the goal of SCRA "to do
everything possible to encourage
the members of the religious orga-
nizations to he active witnesses for
Christ, and to promote Christian
fellowship between the organiza-
tions on the campus."
Librarians Plan
Annual Meeting
Mrs. Merrie Fields, TWC librar-
ian is to attend the annual meeting
of the Texas Library Association
which will be held in Hotel Galvez,
Galveston; April 23-26.
This meeting will be attended by
public school librarians, college
librarians, and city librarians from
all parts of Texas.
Thet meeting will consist of four
general sessions and several indivi-
dual group meetings.
Library workshops and exhibits
will be included in the program of
the Association. Visiting librarians
will have opportunity to examine
the latest editions of outstanding
publishers.
Aside from the business sessions,
several luncheon and dinner ar-
rangements have been made for
the various groups.
| from the pole and the flag bearer
| found himself sliding down the
(slightly greased pole with the flag
j still out of sight.
Following his hasty departure
from the pole Boettner was im-
mediately surrounded by sophs. In
the onslaught that followed the
flag was passed from one hand to
another until Billy Cogdell re-
gained the flag for the fish. Break-
ing into a race for life, Cogdell,
feeling that he needed aid ran to
the nearest automobile. He scream-
ed, "Save the flag," and threw the
banner into the car without look-
ing at the occupants, who were,
unfortunately, sophomores. With
the .flag in the hands of the enemy,
the flag raising episode ended.
But the fish did not lose out on
the other important phase of the
Fish Weekend, and they are to be
congratulated for hiding their
queen successfully. It was a hap-
py group of victorious freshmen
who cheered their president, John
Ed Francis, as he crowned Char-
lene Word freshman queen for
1952 in assembly today.
