Western Week is over, now, and college has assumed
its natural role of study, study, study. Right about
now, I expect most of us are looking at the business
end of a declining grade point average. With these
indications, I hope to find you in a fairly serious frmae
of mind, because I have something lretty serious to
talk about.
What do you think, about the idea of each student
having his blood typed and wearing a dogtag or some -
thing listing his type of blood and who to notify in
case of accident. It is not a new idea but a practical
one. Elementary schools are putting it to practice
and I understand many high schools and colleges ac-
ross the nation are doing the same. It would certainly
simplify any situation that might arise where any of
us would be in the position of either giving or re-
ceiving blood.
Perhaps you recall reading about the death of Harry
Turner a couple of months ago. He had accidently
shot himself sjid was in need of blood. The word
went out over the campus. He was a student here and
many of his friends sought to help him; but where
some knew their blood type and RH factor, many
didn t. I don't remember if they found any blood of
his type on this campus or not. I am not sure he died
for lack of blood, either, but what if he had. This
situation might arise again sometime. We could be
ready next time ana possibly save a life.
I suggest that we, the students of Lamar Tech, take
it upon ourselves to have our blood and RK factor
typed and filed here on the campus for emergency
reference. Also, I think we ought to wear a tag of
some kind listing our name, next of kin and blood
type with RH factor. Sounds like an Uncle Sam spec-
ial, doesn't it. I think it has tis good points, tooj
It is possible that the pre-med students or biology
students of Tech could do the typing and if a small
charge of 25 or 50 cents was necessary to cover the
cost of typing and the tag, I don't think anyone here
would deny that it was worth it. It might save his life.
Let's hear some word from you on this subject. It
has been suggested before, but unfortunately, never
materialized. If enough of us get behind it, maybe the
state will do it for us, but I think I'd be-proud if the
students of Lamar were big enough to take this upon
themselves instead of waiting for the state to take
action. The boys in Austin are hard at work, and
won’t find time for such things as this. An oversight
on their part, as well as ours, if I may say so.
Tomorrow night, the 12th annual King's Ball will be
held at the Harvest Club. This dance is considered
by all to be one of the highlights of the semester.
The high point being the crowning of one of the men
from our campus as King of Lamar Tech. Admission
is by bid only, free of charge, and if you haven’t got
your bid yet, see me sometime today or call 5-6631
any time before noon Saturday. I'll try to do what I
can to get you a bid if you want to go. Don't miss it.
J. Paul Sheedy* Was An Udder Failure Till
Wildroot Cream-Oil Gave Him Confidence
The boys were having a bull session in Sheedy’s room. "It’s no yoke,”
beefed Sheedy. "Heife. / girl I ask for a date turns me down flat.” Then
Sheedy’s roommate spoke up: "There’s good moos tonight J. Paul. Try
some of my ’Wildroot Cream-Oil on those cowlicks.”
Sheedy did and now he’s the cream of the campus.
Wildroot keeps his hair handsome and healthy looking
the way Nature intended... neat but not greasy. Contains
the heart of Lanolin, the very best part of Nature’s finest
hair and scalp conditioner. Get Wildroot Cream-Oil,
America’s largest selling hair tonic. In bottles or un-
breakable tubes. Gives you confidence...you look your
best. There’s no udder hair tonic like it.
