Editorials
Here comes the same ole editorial that appears in our
paper and in every other campus newspaper every fall. Let's
get some school spirit.
The people that write those editorials hate them as much
as the ones that have to read them.
The question then comes up:
SORRY
ABSOLUTELY
NECESSARY!
We are not saying that no one has been supporting the
teams. There have been a few loyal ones. Our cheerleaders
are wearing themselves out trying to boost the ego of our
football team. The Jacket Coeds are also doing their dead
level best. But these two groups can not do it alone.
Upperclassmen say "Button up Freshman." How many
of the upperclassmen ever do anything toward school spirit.
How can freshmen be expected to do the work of a whole
student bady?
One of the recent parades consisted of the band cheer-
leaders Coeds and a number of freshmen. Two cars were
also included. But that was a pitiful showing.
If the people do not want to march in the parade the
least they can do is ride in a car. There are plenty of cars on
this campus. In fact there are enough to make at least a half
mile parade. The student body as a whole needs to turn
over a new leaf and support the school. Not only in athletic
events but in every event of the school.
Let's all get on the ball and avoid the necessity of this
type of editorial in the future.
How are your responses?

do you react? Do you react as a stone absorbing nothing
or do you react as a tree absorbing everything?

from our associates than we get from our studies. Each is of
little value without the other. Yet many students on the
HPC campus even though they are good students are
stones. Of course all stones are not good students either.
Take class meetings take club meetings some one
should take them because the Howard Payne campus. is cov-
ered with stones when it comes to such matters. There is
alloted in our campus schedule for everything. Organiza-
tions don't take any of your study time if your time is bud-
geted as it should be. Besides a break in your work means
your work will be better anyway. Why not respond to them?
What are you anyway man or rock?
Let's check our responses it might prove fun to par-
ticipate in a few activities. Who knows until he tries it.

WHAT ABOUT MORNING WATCH?
By CAMIE JAY
Are you one of the spright
vigorous dedicated young
Christians who likes variety?
Then don't miss Morning
Watch this week.
Hear in plain English what
the shoe has to say to you.
You will be inspired with
hymn-stories illustrated with
pictures. What more can one
desire than to bear a good
well-experienced reader read
the hymn while soft music
is being planyed in an envir-
onment of serenity.
Patti Page
Patti Page the best female sel
ler of records has run the ga-
mut from a hillbilly singer on a
Tulsa radio station just a few
short years ago to a miss who
consistently hits the best-seller
lists each time she sings a new
song for Mercury Records. While
the first few months on shellac
she sounded like every gal sing-
er. (Usually just like the one who
had a hit) she soon found her
own style. She made her biggest
success via the aid of tape on
her double-voice renditions of
such tunes as Tennessee Waltz
and others. For three years she
made about $65 weekly until she

essary?" Most students know
the answer to that. The major-
ity of people attending classes
at Howard Payne College
have not shown any enthusi-
asm toward the school thus
far.

great dividends.

Eyes Wide Open I'm Dreaming."
Since then the singer has seldom
sold fewer than 300000 copies of
any record she has made and of
course quite a few of her platters
have gone past the 1000000 mark.

type tunes. They are outselling all
the ballads and upbeat songs.

Kiln for Firing Ceramics Is Added
to HPC Art Department Facilities
by Jerry Graves
The Art Department has an ad-
diton to its facilities this year a
ceramic Kiln one of the largest in
the West which can attain the
temperature of 2300 degrees F
for firing all type of pottery and
dishes vases and small sculpture.
Mr. Charles Stewart art depart-
ment head says that art courses
are being i-e-designed in order to
incorporate ceramics into the cur-
riculum. The kiln is going to be
used principally in upper level
and graduate courses and not so
much for the mechanical process
of producing ceramics but in the
designing of them.
The Kiln is the first of several
pieces of he.vy equipment the
art department is going to buy.
In the future thcie will be a Lapi-
dary a gem polishing machine;
complete leather tooling equip-
ment; a linoleum block press and
and electric potter's wheel as an
accessory to me ceramics depart-
ment. "Our aim" said Mr. Stewart "is
to give Howard Payne the most
modern Art Department in the
state."
There is already a slight in-
creased in the overall enrollment
in comparison with last year he
reports. Besides the regular day
enrollment twenty people are en-
rolled in a night class for both

commercial art.
The art education courses are
designed to equip the average
public school teacher so that she
may help in the development of
the appreciation of the public
school child. Their real philosophy
of art education is that the child
should be trained as a potential
consumer of art rather than a po-
tential artist.
Mr. Stewart feels that it is far
more important for the child to be
trained to be able to buy in the
future his clothing and household
furnishings with good taste than
for him to be able to paint a pic-
ture. "In other words" he said "art
for the average man rather than
for the talented few."

ard Payne six years. He came here
with a background of high school
teaching commercial art and book
illustrating.

Upperclassmen Are
Fashion-Mad Says
One Lowly Freshman
by Jerry Swan
After considerable observation
and a great deal of consideration
I have come to the conclusion. Up-
perclassmen are wild with fash-
ion. It all started with "Freshman
step right up and buy your little
green head protector." But that
was only the beginning.
In order to make everyone feel
comfortable and at home they
overlooked no one as the campus
rang with the honey-toned chorus
of "Freshman wear that cap!"
And of course as always indi-
vidual taste jean never be over-
looked in the world of fashion.
Such as: "Freshman square that
cap!" Right Ruthie?
Then there's a lingering mem-
ory of the notorious "Freshman
Dress-Up" when the superior ones
let their fashionable imaginations
run absolutely wild across the
stage.
And everyone wears with pride
a blouse or shirt with an exclus-
ive tag attached.
Last recalled is the adorable
clinging effect pushed by a few
boarders of Taylor Hall. This
style apparently has remarkable
force as often the objecting fresh-
man climbs out of the refreshing
H-pond dripping with enthusiasm.
