A Warm Welcome To All Students
The Board of Regents and the Faculty are proud and
happy to extend a warm welcome to all men and women who
constitute our 1948-49 student body. Extensive preparation
for the senior college establishment, extending over a num-
ber of years, have been virtually completed. The buildings
and equipment that were erected and installed since June,
1947, have increased the value of our assets by $500,000. Our
Faculty has been strengthened by the addition of eight full-
time, highly qualified teachers. Thus we are ready for the
opening of the upper division.
We look upon you, the first senior college student body
at TLC with great expectations. We hope that you will not
only undetake to uphold the Christian ideals and traditions of
the college, but also shoulder a larger share of responsibility
for student self-government, and campus life. The quality
of the work you will do during this year will largely deter-
mine the accreditment of the college by the 1 exas and the
Southern Association of colleges. The success of our senioi
college venture depends next to Cod upon a harmonious
partnership between you and the Faculty. Let us all be mind-
ful of this fact.
May the Spirit of the Lord guide us and his blessing ac-
company us.
—Wm. F. Kraushaar

LAST YEAR’S EDITOR HAS
ESSAY PUBLISHED
Alice Laine, Co-Editor of last
year’s Lone Star Lutheran, wrote
an essay entitled “Rusty Hinges
on the Golden Door,” which was
published in the July issue of the
Lutheran Outlook.
This title was taken from words
inscribed on the statue of Liberty.
The article deals with treatment
of Mexican—American race rela-
tions.
Gem for Thought
Smoe has heard moans and j
groans from the direction of the
G. D. to the affect that some girls ;
feel it a waste of time to sit around | "But continue thou in the things
talking with each other on Satur- j which thou hast learned and been
day nights when they could be do- j assUred of, knowing of whom
ing some constructive work. Boys Thou hast learned them.” (II Timo-
—hop to it. | thy 3:14).

better than to jab our faculty jor continue our studies here.
! Even as St. Paul is addressing
Timothy in our Scripture verse
for thought, the words can duly
be spoken to us. Timothy was told
to continue in the things which
his mother and grandmother had
taught him about the Christian
way of life. Undoubtedly, we, too,
have been taught the Christian
way of life by our father and
mother, and now we are to con-
tinue in the things which we have
learned and been assured of;
namely, to read and study God’s
Word and to pray daily. We know
that without God we can do noth-
members with pencils and say such
rude things as you did. Let’s watch
that Wilfred!
Smoe is wondering about that
Ray Johnson. It seems that boy
has a way with women. One of
of life or understanding and doing
our daily lessons. Therefore, let us
continue in the things which we
have learned and been assured of
by remembering and living the
motto—"Pray as if work did no
good at all, and then work as if
prayer did no good at all.”
