UPPER CLASSMEN SHOULD BE EXAMPLES
From all appearances the second year students, who should
be the first in everything-, are falling down in their duty. Last
Thursday only a mere mandful of students turned out for stu-
dent chapel, and1 most of them were freshmen. It has been notice-
able since the first of school that the cadets who failed to salute
cadet officers were second year men. The honor rolls have been
dominated by first year students this year. The Student Coun-
cil, which consists almost wholly of upper classmen, has been
at a standstill most of the year. This1 should not be interpreted
to be a criticism of the persons named, but is a criticism at the
whole senior class—not as a class but as individuals.
In a junior college the burden of leaderhip falls on second
year students. In a sense they are unprepared for it; nevertheless
they get invaluable training by taking over positions of leader-
ship. This necessarily involves letting up in a few lines to work
harder at other tasks, but as a genera] rule the seniors have let
u;p in work all the way around.. As a. result we find that the
senior class has not had a meeting since the class officers were
elected. The work of the publications staffs have fallen the lot
of a few. The burden of carrying1 the Tarleton banner in athletics
depends on the freshmen. The Student Council has almost ceased
to meet. Social and. non-social seem to be losing1 that spirit of
contact and friendship that they should have. AH of this is more
or less a bad influence on first year 'students and prospective
students.
If one wants to know if a college has a good student body, he
need only investigate to see if the college have active student
associations, live publication staffs, and friendly clubs. The
University of Texas has a good student body, and they demon-
strate it by the activities t.he students carry on. Students are
on athletic councils; they fight for freedom of the press; they
sponsor drives of certain types. Tarleton falls down in that
student officers are more figureheads, but it 'should be up to
these officers to fight for what they want. The second year stu-
dents should be'unanimous- at student chapels and the first to
stand for student government. They should be the first to salute
officers and the first in line to support activities sponsored by
the students..

Bax had the hardest time get-

the picture he took of the Rec Hall

that's his usual conduct here.
Bob Graves has a labor saving

Alice May says that she's drop-

Teddy and Jude have rented that

she looks up the answers.
Harry, Lamar, Joe Parrisli, and
Carpenter are certainly an appre-

maybe it was something that C. D.

INTERVIEWS
PLAY "ON YE TARLETON" AT DANCES
Here is a suggestion—why not play the school song, "On Ye
Tarleton," just before the theme song at the end of the dances?
It formerly was a custom to play the school song at the end of
each dance, but last year the college orchestra stopped this and
played their theme song. Their theme song certainly is a good'
one and should be played at the beginning and end of each dance,
but it would be easy to play "On Ye Tarleton" as the next to the
last selection. The school song will be more appreciated! and en-
joyed if played when students are in the mood for music. There
is certainly no one who could play the song any better than the
orchestra. Last year the playing of this selection at the dances
created more feeling and emotion than at any other time that it
was played. Let's do it again.
ANOTHER WAY TO BE LOYAL
The weeks following holidays and those preceding final ex-
aminations are not representative of Tarleton College at its
best, so why not quit this bored and discontented attitude which
is so injurious to the college.
In the first place, the stronger personalities of the campus
adopting this attitude influence the weaker, contented ones to-
ward restlessness and discontent, putting the entire student
body at a disadvantage. In the second place, students are the best
attraction a college has for influencing prospective students to
attend. The person who is not enthusiastic about the curricular
and social activities of the school in his home town is not a loyal
Tarletonite with the college's best interests at heart. You who
must leave at mid-term on account of financial difficulties can
bring many students here next term by talking to your friends
in the high school graduating classes of '37.
Then let everyone be loyal to Tarleton hv being cheerful and
contented on the campus and enthusiastic at home.-
Rec Hall Notes
The best joke of the week:
George Bryant trying to read
"Robinson Crusoe" in the Rec
Hall! George, couldn't you find
anybody to 1 ell you I be story in-
ste d of oliiunping off and read-
ing it?
Gerrv likes variety in her little
companions—Thursday it was Bill
Baggett. You know. she's sure to
get her name in this column every
week because she's always in here.
Audrey Jean had to go to class
for one period Wednesday. Gerry
| mui-t have missed her.
Booger Bryant's slacks are worn
out. so lie has to go out of uniform
because he doesn't have any more
clean underwear.

No wonder thet there's lots ov

Question: Do you believe that
it is better to have loved and lost
than never to have loved at all?
Dorothy Davis—Sure. It tea-
ches you how to love, and you can
tell when the right person comes
along. I know because I have had
experience.
Carolyn Schnabel—Yes, If you
have ever really loved any one,
you would not give anything in
the world for all of the joys and
sweet experiences that you have
shared with the one you love. You
have a sad sort of delight in re-
membering all of your hours that
were spent together and would
rather have known such joy and
lost than to have never known it
at all.
Gene Mogan—Yes. To love once
is worth going through the rest of
your life alone.
Bunkhouse.—Wait until I get
through with this love affair, and
I'll tell you.
N. H. Nance—That's according
to where you are. If you are in
college, it is better not to have
loved, but if you are anywhere
else it is better to have loved.
Don't fall in love in college.
Rhesa Cawyer—Yes. You can at
least understand the feelings of
others who possess broken hearts.
Jude Smith—Sure. You can get
some enjoyment out of life. It is
good while it lasts.
Bob Graves—No, then there will
be no regrets if you've never lov-
ed at all.
Reginald Henley—Yes. The
pleasure you get off-sets the dis-
appointments.
Doris Ferguson—-No, because if
you have really loved someone and
lost, you Will never want to love
another, or at least it would be
difficult to try and love someone
else.
go with again as long as you lived.
Little Cy Clayton seems to have
a competitor now since Bob Oliver
is sort of taking little Louise
(Sing-Sing) Statham the rush act.
Little Statham seems to take them
all in anyway; so all for Louise and
none for Dorothy.
Yes sir, that Margaret Stacy is
really a song bird. Listen to her
latest song-hit.
First Verse
Fundy loves me,
This I should know,
For he's the one that told me so.
Second Verse
But I don't believe him,
And I know why,
For he has a line as big as I.
Chorus
Dwee-de Oh-do-do.
Dwee-de Oh-do-do.
You have al! probably heard her
sing it, if not, you have heard her
sing "Little Boy Blue." Funderburk
is proud of his little song bird.
Just ask him. Why, yesterday I
saw him run out on the ice towards
Stacy; and just before he goti to her,
he pretended that his feet slipped,
and he grabbed her around the neck
to keep from falling. Say, Fundy,
that is not a bad idea at that.
Another accident that was laid
on the ice was that of Earl Har-
vey's but you just listen to the
real truth about the matter Karl
asked Margaret Powers for a date
Saturday night and she accepted.
Mr. Thomas Tinker, finding this
out, threw a fit. So when Earl start-
ed to the dining hall late Friday
night, "Tarzan" Tinker ups and
throws his fists on poor little Earl.
And that, folks, is why Harvey is
wearing a bandage around his head.
There are really some good writers
in school that have not been un-
covered. I recommend that you
take up some line of writing, as
poetry, or prose, or essay, or «ven
maybe letter writing. Probably the
letter will interest you more as the
letters written to Mr. Lawrence
Rush about his red flannels and
what not for the benefit of the
public, I think that they should
know about the writers. The main
'writer was Miss Mary Norton,
and associates were Miss Clara
Stafford, Miss Polly Wliitmore and
Miss Mildred Wassnn. Drop around
and read an example of their fine
writings as Mr. Rush will be glad
to show you his letter.
We really have some people full
of questions and sometimes it
might be best. For instance, here
are some of the questions:
What makes Frances Gregory
and Gerry Chambers alweys hang-
ing around the Recreation hall so
much? Are they always flirting
with some boy?
What is this that all the girls
think about "Boy Blue" Funder-
burk?
Do you think Red Yarbrough has
a chance with Margaret Stacy?
Will Jude Smith bite the dust
as he has the last three or four
years ?
What makes Mary Helen Lan-
caster act as though she is the
queen of some mighty country?
Where does all that smoke come
from when just a bunch of girls
are in the Varsity?
Why doesn't Syd Davis wake up
to what he is about to walk into?
Can't he see that he is gradually
being taken in?
Did Teddie Allen really play up
to all those men on the buses that
she rode?
What makes Sonley Huestis pop
off so much about his dream, when
she already has four other boy
friends ? why doesn't someone else
put him wise ?
Why do all these people call
Effie Lindsay a social climber?
Why doesn't someone console
Harvey Boaz since his honey left?
Why are all the students calling
Harry Hawthorne "Race Horse."
What makes Harry look so wor-
ried all the time?
Why does a certain Mildred have
to study when W. B. Sheppherd
wants a date with her? Why does
she write Audrey Wheat and tell
him instead of going and telling-
W. B,?
Why was Wayne Robinson all a
flitter the other, day just over
a little package?
Who are those two little high
school girls Nance is always hang-
ing around with at the Varsity?
Do you really think Charles At-
kins is planning to get married?
Is that the reason he is not com-
ing back the next semester?
Why does "Stooge" take off for
the corner when Isabel Somervilht
comes in sight?
Why didn't Nichols accept the
brains that Audre Jean Schulze
mailed him? Did Carl McConachie
get some brains too?
What makes Rosemary jump
when Jo Browning hollars frog?
Is it a strange power or just pow-
er?
What happened to the case of S.
A, that Belton Hallmark and Glori
Gage had up? Did she put the
skids under him?
Is Pauline Roe really quitting
school on the account of Little Bon-
ey not going with her.
Do you think Joe Parrish can
take the place of Shep with Mar-
jorie Page?
Joe, you really have to know
how to love to satisfy this little
girl from all I can find out. You
do have the same type of hair,
but can you have the same look
in your eye?
I hear that some of our people
have trouble with their boy friends.
First he sends her a telegram tell-
ing her that he is going to sue her
for slander if it could not be
settled outside of court. Now here
is what counts—the answer. If any
of you girls should want to answer
anything like this just get in touch
with Missie Spurgin and as I hear
she does a good job at answering
those kind of things.
Someone might get Effie a tin
cup to make her collections in in-
stead of just coming right out
and asking for money to take her
and Johansen to the show. Effie
I know a good way—put blinds
on your eyes and put a sign "blind"
on you, it might make a better
impression.

one passes these easy English
courses.—The Gentleman.
