NOVEMBER. 1931 THE LINK
The President's Corner
The annual Bap-
tist General Conven-
tion is a great event
for Howard Payne
College. Many teach-
ers and students at-
tend at least a part
of the extensive ses-
sions.
Dr. A. A. Brian
had a splendid ex-
z: hibit at the Sam
H ouston Coliseum
when the convention
Thos. H. Taylor met in Houston re-
cently. A large number of ex-students
and friends visited the booth. They
gave many names of prospective stu-
dents.
This year we began again our con-
vention banquet. Rev. Charles Myers
of Houston is our Gulf Coast president.
He had provided a good place to eat
at Weldon's Cafeteria. The appearance
of the choir and especially the Madri-
gal Singers was an event at the ban-
quet.
The ninty-voice choir sang for the
Convention in a twenty-minute pro-
gram immediately preceding the re-
port of the Executive Secretary, Dr. J.
Howard Williams. This was a high
hour. Dr. Garrett and the choir re-
ceived many compliments.
In the convention budget, read by
Dr. Wallace Bassett, chairman of the
Finance Committee, liberal provision
was made for Howard Payne College:
1. $25,000 undesignated for either op-
erating expenses or buildings
2. $20,000 for the library building
3. Approximately $30,000 for minis-
terial tutition
4. 7% of one-half of the receipts over
the budget-This item was $17,000 last
year
5. $9,000, approximately, to be added
to endowment with the Baptist Foun-
dation
6. Participation in undesignated re-
ceipts for the Major Gifts program.
7. The right to solicit individual gifts
for the library building
I am glad I am a Baptist and a teach-
er in Howard Payne College. I pray
every day for Dr. J. Howard Williams
and his associates in the Baptist office
in Dallas.

Jackets Tackle A.C.C.
Wildcats At Homecoming!Paul Ferguson
"BEAT McMURRY" is the war cry
on the Howard Payne campus this
week, and the conference-leading Yel-
low Jackets can insure a share of the
Texas Conference crown by doing just
that. All other conference foes have
lost at least one game! The Jackets
have only two more to go-the final
one being with the ACC Wildcats, No-
vember 22, at homecoming!
The Stingers' record this season is
three wins against three losses with
two of the wins being conference
games. Two weeks ago the Yellow
Jackets upset a strong Southwest Tex-
as State team 27-14 at San Marcos.
In the past week's game the East
Texas State Lions had to come from
behind in the final period of play to
win 38-21. The Jackets played their
best game of the season even though
they went down in defeat. Jackie
Bearrow, 200 pound fullback, stole the
show with dazzling runs that scored
all three of HPC's counters-one being
a 90 yard kick-off return, and the other
two on passes from Sonny Davenport
that covered 62 and 40 yards, respec-
tively.
Looking forward to these last two
games, I would like to remind all you
Exes of the place you hold in the foot-
ball program here. Just seeing you,
the Jackets of yesteryears, on the cam-
pus reminds the players and the stu-
dent body of the very real spirit of
Howard Payne. In the past few weeks
the spirit here has developed to a bet-
ter standard than it has been since the
last world conflict. Let me urge you
to be at homecoming to stand by the
Yellow Jacket team! Only with the
cooperation and unity of the Exes with
the present student body can the true
spirit of Howard Payne be obtained,
and the true purpose of this college
bought forward!

Miss King Crowned Queen!
Miss Fannie King, 1205 Center Ave-
nue, Brownwood, was presented as
Sweetheart of the 1951 Howard Payne
Yellow Jacket team Saturday night at
the half of the Howard Payne-East
Texas football game.
Miss King was escorted to the mid-
dle of the field by Hayden Fields and
Bill Hitt. Co-captains Sonny Daven-
port and Pete Fuglaar crowned the
Sweetheart and presented her a dozen
red roses.
A senior at H.P.C., Miss King will
graduate in January with a major in
education and art.
Following this ceremony, the Mit-
chell Grenadiers, East Texas State
R.O.T.C., marched onto the field and
dedicated their military performance
to their commanding officer, Major Jim
Bob Milligan, son of R. J. Milligan, 1203
Eighth Street, Brownwood.
The Howard Payne Band, under the
direction of J. B. Parker, completed
the half-time activities with' their band
drill which was a mixture of flank
movements and counter-marches. This
routine was climaxed with a waltz-
time twirling exhibition by majorette
Carole Pippen, Cisco.Subscription Blank

Dear Readers of the Link:
Permit me to use the medium of this
paper to express my gratefulness and
appreciation to each of you and to the
churches who have made contributions
to the Walker Memorial Library build-
ing in the name of a Memorial to the
late Dr. M. E. Davis. These contribu-
tions have kept the work progressing.
We are now approaching the half-
way mark of construction. We have not
had to stop the work, or borrow any
money, thanks to friends who have
made it possible to continue on the
"Pay-as-you-go" plan.
"Let us finish the job." If we receive
$100,000.00 in the next eight months the
building will be completed, free of any
debt, and ready for occupancy by the
fall term of 1952.
As we approachhDecember-and
Christmas, and our hearts and minds
are filled with thoughts of our Lord,
who is the giver of all good gifts, let
us put into action our sincere desires
by making a Christmas offering to
Christian education!
Yours for a greater H P C

Annelle Shield Clark Relates
Experience In WisconsinJACKET CLUB MEETS
AT BREAKFAST
Bill Allcorn
With Homecoming just around the
corner the Jacket Club is making an
all-out effort to make its part of the
program the best in the short history
of our club. Those of you who have
met with us in the past for our home-
coming breakfast know that we always
have a delightful time, and that we go
away filled with the inspiration that
comes from the renewal of old acquaint-
ances.
We are especially looking forward
to the breakfast this year, because it
will afford us an opportunity to bring
before many of the ex-students for the
first time our new coach, Carl "Swede"
Anderson. Coach "Swede" has cap-
tured the hearts of all the local fans.
He has been quick to catch the spirit
of Howard Payne and has won the re-
spect and admiration of all his boys.
Coach "Swede" and Coach Williams
have done a magnificent job with the
team this year. and the boys are play-
ing their hearts out.
Seventeen of our most experienced
boys will be lost this year by the grad-
uation route, and the Jacket Club has
pledged itself to the task of assisting
the coaches in a great re-building pro-
gram. The time to start is NOW. The
