A Little More Effort
It always seems that about this time of year, editors of
school papers think about all the grand and glorious things
that the school’s graduating class has done. He or she incor-
porates this, along with ideas of a shining future, into an
editorial. Sometimes we overlook the things which are back
of the accomplishments which are listed. We don’t realize
what must be behind any future accomplishments.
Why has our class been a successful class ? Why are we
going to be successful persons? We have done well because
we have worked. Not all of us have worked, not all of us have
done our best work. But at least we have worked, and that
is what has made our class one of which we can be proud.
This same work is necessary before we can be a suc-
cess in business or in school. How many of us have really
worked and done our best in TJC? Not many, I’m sure. For
example, remember the C in history? With a little extra work
(maybe just a little work) it would have been an A or a B.
But it sure is a lot of trouble to spend an hour or two occa-
sionally in studying.
If we should take that same attitude into business, what
would happen? If we weren’t fired, we certainly would never
advance. The same is of course true in any other college or
university.
So stop a moment and think: just how much effort have
I made these last two years? Very few answers will be “My
best.” That means if we are ever to be successful as an in-
dividual, we are going to have to get to work. We must learn
that only our best efforts are good enough.
Our class, we feel, has been a good class. But this class
has not been a true success in that it has not done all that
it could. Each of us now must begin to work and really do
our best, if we as individuals are to succeed.
Need: A World Of Freedom
By the time a boy or girl gets into college, the inner
ferment should have begun to die down, and a more stable
adult personality should begin to emerge. This adult personal-
ity demands a world of freedom in which it can expand and
learn to express itself. Colleges are organized on a basis of
liberty combined with responsibility; the student is left al-
most entirely free to find his own way, yet he is expected to
make his own responsible contribution to the welfare of him-
self and his fellow students by putting his best foot forward.
If we are going to develop our intellectual power, we
have to start using the intellect now. Everyone should be
encouraged to set forth his own ideas. This is in itself at
least one forward step to our world of freedom.
This is the stage of life at which it is most difficult to
make the right use of freedom. College life offers unique
possibilities of wasting opportunities. It is easy to end four
years or even two years at college with an untrained mind
and an unformed character, and so go into the world alto-
gether a rather useless person.
Everyone has to make up his mind 50 times a day about
one thing or another, and every decision involves a choice.
Character is formed not by a small number of decisions on
important matters, but rather by thousands of almost un-
noticed decisions that we make in every day living. Too
many of us most of the time choose the easier way, and end
up with the undesirable kind of character, and so have made
no effort to establish a world of freedom for ourselves.
We must in our own way, whether we go on to school
and graduate, take a job in the business world, or become a
housewife, learn to relate our choices to the will of God, and
so choose the best and reject the worst, so that we will have
a world of freedom.

New Talent
Sparks Program
At Club Dinner
New talent, as well as familiar
talent, highlighted the program
which entertained students, guests,
and faculty members attending the
Luncheon Club dinner. The Car-
penters’ Hall on the night of April
22 was all aglow for the occasion.
After the invocation, given by
Dana Hieronymus, the dinner was
served. The menu consisted of slic-
ed ham, sweet potatoes, green
beans, salad, ice tea and hot rolls,
followed by the dessert of ice cream
and cake.
Anna Kurtin* introduced club
members and their guests, and
President Harry Macey introduced
the program.
Pat Goodman, accompanied by
Mrs. Phil Loving, sang a few num-
bers, dedicating “Give Me a Kiss
to Build a Dream On” to Don Hill.
The Chordaires sang several num-
bers, one of which featured W. R.
Freeman as soloist. Larry Coleman
and Don Hill put on an enjoyable
stunt with guests participating.
Mike Macey was the guest artist
who entertained with several ac-
cordian numbers, and several more
eagerly awaited encores. Duane
Shiplett, TJC’s own Ernest Tubbs,
played his guitar and sang popular
western songs.
Sincere thanks go to the women
of the high school cafeteria who
prepared and served the food, and
to the Luncheon Club student com-
mittee who made this party anoth
er Luncheon Club success.

I am delighted to be able to say a few words of com-
mendation to a very fine group of young people. This has
been a year of unlimited activity for many of you and I hope
that this is only the beginning of your activities as you jour-
ney to the end which will culminate with your graduation two
years hence from some higher institution of learning.
It is my hope that each of you will be able to look back
upon the years spent in Temple Junior College with some de-
gree of satisfaction and pride. May you always receive the
good things which you so richly deserve.
C. L. NEAL,
Dean.
We shall always be indebted to the members of our
graduating class of 1952 for the excellent work that they
have done in promoting the college’s activities and plans. We
still speak with pride over your accomplishments as fresh-
men last year, and the continuation of your good work in
1952 has certainly been an excellent example to the members
of the freshman class.
It is my sincere hope that good health and good fortune
will follow each of you throughout the years of your life.
May you long cherish the friendly days you have spent on
the TJC campus, and profit much by the learning you have
gained in your class work and college activities. We are proud
of our 1952 graduates.

Associate Dean and Regisf"ar.
Picture-Taking, Eating Rival
Singing On 1952 Choir Tour
Picture taking and eating, not to
mention singing, were outstanding
features of the recently completed
fifth annual choir tour. Mr. Daw-
son had his ever-ready movie cam-
era along (everyone thought at
first it was his trusty make-up kit)
and choir members took their share
of candids.
The original purpose of the tour,
that of giving surrounding Central
Texas high schools a sample of the
Junior College music department
through the choir, was successful
and everyone enjoyed singing for
the appreciative audiences, both
high school and grade school.
One of the favorite numbers pre-
sented by the choir was “Rock-a-
My Soul,” while the Harmony
Maids sang everybody’s favorite,
“Slow Poke.”
The Boys Quintet, now officially
called the Chordaires, The Five
Men of Song, sang the all-time fav-
orites in Negro spirituals as well
Wins Scholarship
Maynard Westlake, outstanding
basketball player and a member of
the ’52 graduating class of TJC,
has received a scholarship to
Southwestern University, George-
town.
This full two-year scholarship
was awarded to Maynard for his
basketball playing ability.
as some secular numbers. They
were enthusiastically received at
every school the group visited.
