Cokes, sandwiches, cookies,
potato chips, fritos and other
goodies were enjoyed along with
jokes and tall tales, before the
retiring hour arrived.
The breakfast menu consis-
ted of bacon, eggs, milk, toast,
fruit juice, jellies and sleepy

We all had a wonderful time
and hated to see the time to

Assembly No. 2
Wednesday a troup of re-1
freshing performers from East■
Texas State Teachers College j
staged a variety show in the j
high school auditorium before
an eager audience. Mr. Barkley,
the supervisor of Commerce’s
off-campus activities, intro-
duced Mr. Adams who had
planned the show, then Ed i
Routt, the student master of |
ceremonies who presented the j
Campus Four who sang “Stand- I
ing in the Need of Prayer” and |
“Dry Bones”. Next came two
talented individuals called Ray
and Pat. Pat accompanied by
Ray, sang “Gloria”. Ray then
played “Ray’s- Boogie” and
played and sang ‘One Little
Date With You.’
Then the same quartet under
a different name and in dis-
guise, sang “Possum Sittin’ on
a Hickory Limb” and another
number.
Curtis Hamby, the company
magician next performed many
interesting and baffling tricks.
For the last number the very
same quartet, a comedy team,
1 then referred to as the Hungry
| Four, sang an amusing num-
! ber called “Mamma Don’t
j Allow.”
I We enjoyed this program very
j much and hope that E. T. S.
! T. C. will send another show
i like this one soon.

; are our majorettes and cheer
| leaders of the past year, who
! have just received their jackets
1 and are determined to wear
S them no matter how hot it
is. The boys look at them a-
musedly, but remember they
were proud of theirs too!

During 1948, the Humble Company spent about $138,000,000 to
help provide the oil you and other Americans needed in that year of
unprecedented demand, and to develop the oil resources which
will provide the oil you need not only today, but next year, the
year after — 10 or 20 years from now. The 1948 investment
by the entire oil industry was approximately 2 billion dollars.
That is a lot of money! Where did it come from?
The larger part of it is reinvested profits. In other words,
American oil companies have such confidence in the future
of their industry in this country that they have plowed
their profits back into the business, just as a farmer
plows under a good green cover crop.
And for the same reason: the farmer thus assures the
continuing fertility of his soil; the oil companies assure the
continuing success of their business . . . the security of
the jobs of their employees, a continuing supply of
oil for your needs, the immediate availability of oil for
national emergencies. The major portion of profits
made in the oil country stay in the oil country to
develop its resources, and to supply a market for its
industries. In the last 10 years, over half of all
the profits of oil companies have been
reinvested in the business.

HUMBLE
In 1948, Humble's investment in explora-
tion and production was $110,000,000;
investments in refining and research and
in marketing, plus Humble Pipe Line Com-
pany's investment in pipe lines, amounted
to about $28,000,000. All this money
came from earnings retained in the
business.
