Hallotve'eh Dance
Closes Prank Week
Hallowe'en was given a final cele-
bration Monday night by an in-
formal dance from 7:00 to 1Q:30
o'clock in the Recreation Hall.
Much enthusiasm was demon-
strated by the students as they
enjoyed the special privilege: Mr.
Jackson asked the students to have
all the,fun they wanted to at the
dance, but to cooperate with the
faculty by, going home after the
dancing was over, since it was a
♦'spur of the-moment" affair.

much to the delight and surprise
of the students.
Th.e dining hall was very ap-
propriately decorated with both

each person's place was a bright,
attractive Hallawe'en hat which all
the students immediately donned.
Ah appetizing meal of . baked

least, but actually seething with
hilarious vigor.
There will be a special edition
of the J-Tac for the benefit of
those home-coming "exes" accord-
ing to an announcement by Jada
Davis, editor of the J-Tac. He also
announced that any club which
cared to place advertisements in
the J-Tae for the furthering of the
spirit for the game would be given
the space for half price.
.The Student Council planned a
program of writing to the par-
ents of each student, telling the
parents how much each student's
support means to the school, and
inviting the parents to Tarleton to
visit during the game and the
fore-running events here on the
campus. This idea was conceived
by the Student Council in that
many of the parents have request-
ed that their children come home
before the game.
As an accommodation to those
students who have not bought a
season ticket, reduced prices on
season tickets will be offered for
which will be satisfactory to most
of the student body. This reduced
priced ticket .will have the same
status as other tickets which were
bought at the beginning of the
season.
Acting as an incentive toward
most of th'e student body's staying
for the game will be a silent pep
meeting at sundown on Wednesday
night before the gams'and an All-
Tarleton Dance Wednesday night.
A bonfire at midnight after the
dance has been discussed, but the
idea has not become a fact, because
of the great danger of spreading
fire, and a promise of caution on
the part of the entire student
body must be obtained before per-
mission to have it will be given.
For the ' convenience of those
students from Houston, Texas
City,: Galveston and other coast
towns, the Bowen Bus Lines offic-
ials have egreed to run a through
bus to Houston immediately after
the 'game, with a cut in the rate
for a round-trip ticket. There is a
probability of a chartered bus
running out in the other directions
from Stephenville, but the idea
has not become a materialized fact
yet.
Those faculty members present
at the meeting should be compli-
mented for their hearty coopera-
tion in the movement. Mr. Bird-
well ig very lenient in permitting
as many signs as need be placed
in the Bsc Hall by clubs or orga-
nizations; Mr. Brooks and Mr.
Wilkins are to be complimented
for their consent to many privi-
leges which will go far toward
making the "Tarleton spirit" drive
a success.
Coaches Wisdom and Eudder ex-
pressed their appreciation of the
enthusiasm shown and pledged the
athletic department to assist in
every possible way in carrying out
the plans outlined.'
Play To Be
Given Soon
There will be a 'fan-fare of
trumpets announcing 'the sixth
annual Tarleton Players when
they present their first play, "The
Family Upstairs," under the di-
rection of Miss Lilliard. The play
is a comedy in three acts by Har-
ry Delf, and carries a royalty
which will assure one of the best
of entertainments.
The play is unusually true to
life and deals with a simple- every-
day family, the Hellers.
Mrs. Heller, a very tempermen-
tal person who resorts to crying,
is played by Betty Elliott of Breck-
enridge. Her constant worry is
concerning the love problems of
her older daughter, Louise. Eunell
Garrett of Kockwall, Texas, has
this part. She has never had a
beau, and she is interested in a
business career. Mrs. Heller says,
"Daughter always sits, sits, and
sits and doesn't even walk. Other
girls even take walks in the moon-
light." Father and mother plan a
crusade for daughter..
Mr, Heller is .a street-car in-
spector on $42,50 a week. • He
spends much of his time storming
and wanting food. Charles Tubb3
carries this major role. One of his
greatest worries concerns his son,
played by Charles Russell. He
is lazy and does not want to' get
a job. H« spends much of his time
calling his girls.
Mrs. Heller has lustful eyes cast
toward Charles Grant, portrayed
by John English, as her daugh-
ter's suitor. Edithlyn Thopson has
the part of Charles' mother.
The role of the young daughter,
Annabel!® has one passion and that
is to get out of her piano lessonsl
The cast of this rolicking, hilar-
ious comedy is composed of stu-
dents from the 301 speech class,
Only three of the stage ci'ew
have been selected. These were se-
lected from the dramatic produc-
tion 407 class. Elizabeth Nell Dyes
of Albany, Texas, is the stage
manager and understudy, Willie
Borders and Charles Scruggs are
business managers.
Plans are being made to have
Ardice Lillard, senior of NTAC at
Arlington to sing between acts.
She was one of 23 students select-
ed out of 1300 last fall for finals
in Fort Worth for the screen con-
test by M-G-M, Hollywood,' ;
There will be an admission fee
of 25c to cover the expenses of
production.
No definite date has been set
ipr the play, but it will be announ-
ced in a few days,
Speaking of the
Ten-Hour List.
4-Year School-
(Continued from Page One) .
NTAC also is an outstanding two-
year institution. For several years,
it has been felt that both colleges
would be raised to senior rank. The
present campaign will culminate
with the presentation of the bill
to accomplish this objective at the
forthcoming session of the Legis-
lature,
For the past week there has
been great rejoicing among the
students of Tarleton who succeed-
ed in passing ten or more hours
of work.
Wh&n the ten hour list appeared
there were students scattered over
the campus with faces that were
drawn, into unhappy lines. Never
before had the freshmen been fac-
ed with the problem of their moth-
ers and dads seeing the grades that
they had so carelessly acquired. Be-
fore, it was possible to slip in a
card signed, but now—the whole,
bitter truth is thrown upon them
at one time, all quite unexpectedly.
All students, however, cannot be
blamed for failing. Many of them
are freshmen, and even the teach-
ers say that the f reshjnan does not
become accustomed to college life
and discover what is expected of
him in time to pass all subjects
the first six weeks. .
But let us look at the seniors
Why did they fail to pass? The
only reason which they can give
is that their course is just too
hard. Of course all freshmen smil-
ingly agree with the seniors be-
. cause they know that it is not at
all pleasant "not to agTee." But
behind their false faces, the fresh-
men know the seniors were hav-
ing too much fun to study.
Now, the second six weeks has
begun and the students, freshmen
and seniors, have promised them-
selves to settle, down to some ser-
ious work. Whose names will ap-
pear on the ten hour list next time
lies in the hands of the students
themselves, ilt is hoped that next
six weeks all students can have a
favorable report for Pop and Mom,

The reason Chesterfield is
different is because it combines the
