BUY YOUR FRESHMAN CAP
The frosh caps aie now on sale! Get yours now and avoid
the rush. You will never be sorry that you invested the mere
seventy-five cents that one will cost you and the cap will be an
insignia that will allow you to really act your age during your
first year in the old institution.
Every freshman in the class of ':'!) should be proud of the
fact that he is a slime. The freshman year in school is usually
the best that one can have and the lower class should be this year
as usual the most active class in the school. With one of the
green and yellow caps perched on the back of your head you can
give the old world a stony stare and let it know that you are one
of the green horns and are glad to be classed in the first year
group.
Then too the cap will mean much to you in the future. Long
after your days in school are over you can merely look at the bill
of the cap that you were forced to wear when you were a mere
slime in the institution of higher learning and it will bring to you
many happy memories of the days in which you had more fun than
a barrel of monkies and you will be glad that you were one of the
faithful members of the class of ':'.).
Don't try to dodge the salesman but be one of the first to
get your cap and show the entire student body faculty and town
that you are glad to wear the insignia that stamps you as one ol
the clan that .so many of us would like to again enter.
Get your cap NOW and let 'em know you mean business !
THAT FAMOUS HOWARD PAYNE SPIRIT
You have all no doubt heard a great deal of the Howard Payne
Spirit and some of you may now be looking for a manifestation
of it. You will not find it immediately because it is an intangible
something that must be experienced by the individual himself be-
fore he is able to know what it is. Then too no one can really
describe it to you because it is something that words cannot be
made to define.
Attend the pep rallies regularly as soon as they begin and
you will begin to feel that famous old spirit in the upperclassmen
around you. There will be no laughter talking or noise of any
kind among the uppers to distiact from the true meaning of the
meeting and you too will begin to feel the sacredness of the meet-
ing; the concentration of everyone in the building on a single
undertaking. It will more than likely be for the purpose of pre-
paring the team and the student body for a coming football game
but that Howard Payne Spirit goes further than just the game.
The first time you hear "That Good Old Howard Payne Line"
and the "Alma Mater" plaved by the band and sung by the stu-
dent body it will sound good to you but there will perhaps be no
lump in your throat and your eyes may not fill with tears but as
time goes on and you have come to know just what those songs
mean to us you too will feel a chill racing up and down your back-
bone and you will want to do something to let others know what
the school means to you.
This intangible something the Good Old Howard Payne Spirit
has made it possible for you now to be in school where you might
not be otherwise. It has come down to us today from the great
men and women who gave their life to the work of founding and
nursing the school through its childhood days. It has been with
the members of the faculty and the students when dark clouds of
debt hung just above the campus and it seemed that the school
just couldn't continue to bring to the young men and women of
this territory a Christian education. Because of this great spirit
the men' and women who guided the destiny of the institution
stayed with their duty when it looked as though it would be best
to ust lay down the work ajnd let the world know that it was
just another failure.
It has been with the pre.sent administration and the people of
Texas who have aided the school so much with financial aid. It
was with The Baptist Foundation Board when they took over the
bulk of the school's debts last year and it was with faculty when
they were willing to give up their back salaries that were long
overdue that the school might begin over debt free.
It was with Mr. and Mrs. Hardin when they decided to irrant
a large sum of money to insure the continuance of the college for
at least the next decade. It has been with Mr. Walker and others
of this town who have time after time donated large sums to the
endownment fund that the boys and girls of Central Texas might
continue to get the type of education that was most needed.
Therefore because of the fact that we have received this spirit
from such noble characters and only after many great struggles
on the part of those who have gone on before why can not we who
have so much more to work with and for than did those of the
past keep and develop that great spirit to a greater and more in-
tense peak than it has ever reached?
Come to pep rallies and find out for yourself and you too will
soon sincerely say "FOR HOWARD PAYNE MY ALL."
BE PREPARED
Being prepared is most essential in this time of ours when it
is seemingly impossible for a person who is only fairly well train-
ed in a certain line to make more than a meager living wage. How-
ever the person who will adapt himself to the situation and faces
the challenge that is flung at him by the economic world has as
great a chance to go to the top of his chosen profession as he
would have ten years ago.
To have the chance that every college graduate formerly had
to rise to the top one must not only have a well-rounded educa-
tion but must know practically all there is to know about one
certain job trade or profession. Only the best trained have a
chance to rise above the average and it is only through careful
study and many long hours of study that one may class himself
above the average in a certain field.
However there is more room at the top now than ever be-
fore. Leaders are needed who have vision and foresight and are
not afraid to give themselves to the task of helping and leading
ACKET

others out of the chaos and darkness that the economic crash has
brought on. God-fearing men who are willing to work when it
seems that the undertaking is impossible and will continue to
work when people scorn and ridicule them will have no trouble
getting to the top if they have used the days of their youth in
preparing themselves for the tasks that lay before them.
Of course it is not possible to know what difficulties and trials
will have to be met and overcome out there in the near future but
it is possible to equip oneself with all of the knowledge that will
come to him through a few hours study a day. If we who are
here in school now would spend only one hour a day in real study

students that ever attended Howard Payne. Some of us sit with
our books before us for even a longer period than that but there
are very few of us who do fifteen minutes of real study each day.
Then too the knowledge that we gain through our academic
work is not the most important factor in getting ourselves pre-
pared for the future. We must associate with all of the other
students in school making friends and finding out the hopes and
ambitions of our classmates. We find that many of them have
very high ideals and really want to climb high up the ladder of
success while many others are willing to sit on the bottom rung
and merely squeeze out a meager existence.
If we learn to associate with all classes of people and to talk
the language of every different class that we meet we have a
talent that will lift us rapidly toward the goal that we are striv-
ing toward if we will use it in the right way. We must be always
ready to accept from other people any opinions ideas or ideals
that We know are superior to our own but we must not let those
that we already possess become tarnished and rough tnrougn
associating with those whose ideals are not so high as ours.
There should be several from the student body of Howard
Payne this year that will come near to the top of the ladder in the
I near future. Do not become discouraged when everything does
' not run as smoothly as you wuold like and you become tired of
working toward a goal that seems so far out in the future that it
I appears to be quite impossible to reach but just keep plugging
along with that never-say-die determination and you are sure to
be one of the needed few who will eventually reach the top.
THE HOBNOB
Gteetings salutations and welcome
to you all You have shown that you
ate an Intelligent bunch of knowledge
seekers by coming to the school that
you have now begun to enter. How-
aid Payne welcomes you to the cam-
pus where "Everybody is Somebody"
and sincerely hopes that your work
were will be a decided factor In mold-
ing your life into the work that you
hae selected for the future.
The best way possible to make your
year or years heie mean all that they
should to you is to begin now by mak-
ing as many acquaintances and
fiicnds as possible in the first few-
days. Do not be afraid to walk up
to any of the students that you do
not know and introduce yourself as
a fellow classmate and friend for the
school year that is now upon us. New-
comets will appreciate the interest
and ftiendship shown to them by those
of us who have been heie in the past
and we too will gain much by trying
to help them get situated and started
to wotk in what should be the great
est year in the history of the school.
You should get a great deal out of
yout class wotk of course and all of
the etxra-curricular activities that
jou can enter will be a gteat help to
you in futute life but the main thing
of impottance to you will be the
ftiendships that you cultivate while
you are here. There is no excuse
whatsoever for every student here on
the campus today not being well ac-
quainted by the end of the week. The
mote quickly that you become ac-
quainted the more quickly you will
begin to ically enjoy your associa-
tions and work and the bigger kick
you will get out of being in college.
Thetefoie the wise thing to do is to
go up to the students on the walks
on the campus and in the halls and
tell them your name and let them
know that you are here. They will
appreciate it and who knows but what
a life-long friendship may result from
such little effort?
You have all heard that you get out
of anything just what you put into it
and your college life should be no ex-
ception. If you want to loaf around
and take life easy that is your priv-
iledgc and none will try to deprive
you of it but if you want to be one
of the busy people who are always
getting something done you have
every opportunity in the world to be-
come just such a person. Join in
everything that is for the good of the
school and the student body and help
put Howard Payne on the map where
she rightfully belongs. It is your life
that you hold in your hands and you
WE NEED YOU AND YOU NEED US!

have every right to do just as you
please with it but you will find that
it will mean much more than it could
otherwise if you will try going out of
your way at times to help to do things
that you could easily avoid.
As you probably know Howard
Payne is facing this year with a care-
free attitude that has been sadly lack-
ing in the past few yeais. Unlike
most of the other schools in the state
especially those of denominational ori-
gin she has not lost or merely held
her own during the depression but
has progressed with leaps and bounds
until the present time when she faces
the world debt-free with more stu-
dents than she ever had before the
economic crash and with the record
of having graduated one hundred and
fifteen students during the past spring
and summer the largest group of
graduates ever to finish In a single
year.
Therefore you can well see that the
"struggling little Baptist college out
here in Brownwood" has finally come
into her own and has assutcd the
world that she is here to stay and will
continue to stay until men have be-
come so foolish that they see no fur-
ther need of a Christian educalton
for the youth of the greatest nation
that time has ever seen.
The Boenlcke Museum which has
been donated to the college by Mr.
Boenicke of Coleman is one of the
most complete and rare collections of
its kind. Many schools have deslted
to become the owners of this valuable
collection and some offered as high as
ten and fifteen thousand dollars for
it but Mr. Boenicke would rather that
Howard Payne become the owner so
that he could know that it was well
taken care of and it would remain
near his own home. Then too just
between you and me the old gentle-
man thinks quite a bit of our dean of
students and it may be that he wanted
Mr Winebrenner to be the guardian
of his treasure.
A building is to be erected to house
the museum. The site will mote than
likely be the plot of ground just west
of the Science Building. The building
is to be built in a U shape and will be
constructed of rock venire and sheet
rock. Additions will be made to the
collection as often as possible and
Howard Payne will more than likely
soon be the proud possessors of one
of the most interesting and unique
museums in the state.
We have lost one of the best men
and coaches in the entire southwest
in the loss of Joe Bailey Cheaney. He
has come to mean a great deal to
those of us who have attended the
school and known him for the past
few years and he is certain to be sore-
ly missed. We not only think of him
as a great coach of football and bas-
ketball but as one of the gtcatest
men we have ever known. He was a
friend to everyone on the campus and
he realized and understood the
thoughts and cares of the students
pet haps more gteatly than most of
the other faculty members. His ad-
vice was always heeded by all of the
stiiflnnts. hoth bovs and girls. We
want to wish Mr. Cheaney the best
of luck and want to assute him that
we will be watching his progress in
the vents to come. We ate nulling for
him to win the Lone Star Confcience
in both football and basketball and
are fairly cot tain that he will do so
We arc betting on him to win nil but
one game of his tough schedule but
we will be looking for him about
Septembet 28 and boy Oh boy that
ought to be one more football game!
But even in the loss of such a char-
acter ns out Cheaney we ate chected
when we think of the fact that we
have two men who can take his place
and cany on in a very excellent man-
ner. Coaches McAiloo Keaton and
Nip McCarvet ate the best possible
men to carry on the wotk and we ate
looking fot some high quality ball
playing under theit tutelage. Mr.
Keaton has been heie ptactic.illy as
long as Cheaney and Is tecognUcd as
one of the gtcatest line coaches in the
southwest. Nig too played four years
of football tindct the teaching of the
famed Cheaney and Keaton team plus
a couple of years in Geotge Washing-
ton Univetsity. It Is with the utmost
confidence in these two men that wo
see the football season begin and wc
are teady to back them to anothet
Texas Confetcnce Championship the
sixth in the past eight ye.us
"When we think of the football sea-
son that is now upon us we begin to
think strongly of the special train to
Fort Woith for the T. C U. game that
can be outs If you the students take
enough interest in it to put it over.
Think of the fun. the advertising it
will mean to the college and most of
all the suppoit that it will be to the
Jackets when they ttot out on the
field to meet those highly touted
Horned Ftogs. Then too the memo-
ries that will come to you long after
your college career is ended w ill alone
tepay you fot the puce of the ttip
Let's all get our tickets now and show
those Frogs and the people of Brown-
wood that when we the student body
of Howard Payne College begin any-
thing we do a good job of It!
