One sour note that lingers at the Recreation Hall every
Thursday night when the weekly College dance is over is the
one off-key noted when the sponsors sing the blues, having to
clean up the mess.
We say, "If we go to the drag, let’s get on the ball!”
The faculty members who clean up after we’ve had our
fun haven’t complained yet. No one knows why.
Although the appropriation is for instructors’ salaries on-
ly, the payment of the state aid fund to Weatherford College
will release money now being held in reserve to pay the sal-
aries.
but rarely any more. •
The work that’s done is necessary. It’s part of the require-
ments if we’re to keep having dances every Thursday night.
Not always will you be required to grab a rag mop, but
sometimes hop right in and help. Those who have dates can
stick around too; their chicks won’t flicker.
Let’s keep the joint jumping and in jive with the neces-
sary tune we have to play to keep dancing in the Rec. Hall.
And at the end of the year, we’ll still have music, music,
music. — B. B.
Aid Brings Possibilities
The bill approving state aid for Weatherford College will
become effective June 20.
All benefits which will result from passage of the bill are
Since the general supporting fund will no longer have to
pay the salaries of faculty members it may be used for the
improvements we must have if growth of the College is to be
assured.
Actually the state aid will be equal to a contribution to
the general fund of $175 per year for each student if it is as-
sumed that each student is taking 15 semester hours.
When W. C. was a church related school the average cost
per year for each student was $250. This included tuition and
fees. The average cost this year is $110 per student. According
to Dean C. D. King the cost of attending college will be less
because of the state aid appropriation, probably next year.
With the many improvements possible and the reduction
in tuition in effect, enrollment in W. C. will be greatly in-
creased.—L.R.H.

Former Student’s
Work Commended
The work of Jane Butler, for-
mer Weatherford girl has recent-
ly been highly commended in a
new and unique field. Miss Butler
is teaching in Buena Park, Calif.
Because there were a number
of children in this district who
were emotionally badly adjusted
and were causing problems, all
children in second and third
grades in town who needed spe-
cial work were placed in one
group. Miss Butler has been
teaching them for two years.
Her work with these children
has been so outstanding that oth-
er teachers of the county have
been sent to observe her methods
of handling these children. In one
week 31 teachers have spent
They have a right to cry.
Generally, one or two students will stay after the hall is
over and do the new broom boogie with Instr. Bob Middleton,' time in the room observing the
ging for former students’ names
and addresses.

number of contestants enough to
make it the biggest ever held by
Weatherford College.
