With BLACKIE SHERROD
My heart still isn't back In
place.
It's certainly hard to keep from
tinning this i ambling into n spoits
column this week after the mas-
tet piece of victory last Saturday
night at Fort Worth. Sports writ-
ing was our fitst love and still re-
mains such; and that game played
on Partington Field Is tempting
copy.
There is a vcise In the twenty-
fouith chapter of Proverbs that
states If thou faint in tlie day
of adveislty thy strength is small.
That verse is sotta in line with
the saying that a champion Is one
who will not accept defeat. True
championship caliber was plainly
visable In the Jackets' last seconds
of play.
Let's take time out to thank the
students of Texas Wcsleyan and
the citizens of Fort Wotth for the
hospitality and considerations
shown us while we weie guests.
We were all tieated royally and
we will be eager to return the
favor next year.
But you know leading on down
a little futther in the book of
Proverbs we found this veise and
it seemed to fit right in with our
present situation Boast not thy-
self of tomorrow; for thou knowest
not what a day may bring forth.
Catch?
Tho.se people who own automo-
biles are not the only ones who
tun down their nclghbots.
It's hard to find a true friend
that stays a friend tegatdless of
what happens.
Through the mail last week
came a simple little pamphlet. On
the plain cover was printed one
word Friendship And this book-
lot contains sumo ut the bfHt quo-
tations on fiiorulshlpp I have ever
read Of the many definitions of
friend I ltke this one best "A
ft lend Is a person who knows you
and undct stands all about you and
still loves you."
And then It had this one: "Never
explain your friends don't need
it and your onemlc won't believe
It. One of the most essential re-
quirements of a friend is -when
he finds something about you he
doesn't like he tells you about It
instead of others."
v
Random shot: Never suspect
people. It's better to be deceived
or mistaken which is only human
after all than to bo suspicious
which is common.
This week the American public
went to the polls to elect a leader
for the next four years. Regard-
less of the outcome this year's
tace will go down In history as one
of the most hotly contested ever
staged. The Republicans based
their campaign mainly on oppo-
sition to breaking the third term
tradition. The Democrats argue
against changing horses in mid-
stream. To me the most impottant tea-

PASSING PARADER INQUIRES
Boys Go Thumbs
By LILLIE B. LANOUA
Mmmmm1 We've been having
lun this week! When interviewing a
list of "Who's Who" nnd Inter-
esting Collegians comprised of
twelve boys and twelve girls any-
thing can happen--and It did! This
survey included nine questions and
has polled a lew of the opinions
of upper classmen who may bo
considcted as a cross section on
the campus.
To the question "Do you like to
wear slacks?" six girls emphati-
cally answered NO while three
said "Not particularly" and three
answeied affiunatlvely.
The favorite color of tho girls
is blue chosen by seven out of tho
twelve with red blue brown and
black polling the others.
Definitely girls had rather boys
would wear sports type clothes
the tweeds and slack suits in which
thoy look at home Only two co-
eds had rather see the boyH
"dressed up." (So go ahead gen-
tlemen wear those slack suits with
comtort.)
Asked "would you rather attend
a formal dinner than a picnic?"
tho girls voted two to one for the
picnic!
Tho co-eds answered enthusi-
astically to "What ia your favorite
perfume?" but what a variety!
The only duplicate waa "Tweed"'

SPONSORED BY FIRST BAPTIST-
Student's Banquet
Feature An Indian
Howard Payne students will be
transported from this modern era
Saturday night to the colorful
simplicity of a typical Indian Sum-
mer in the time of their pilgrim
forefathers.
The college department of the
First Baptist chuich is sponsoring
this tuinlng-back-of-tlme move-
ment In the form of a banquet at
the Gold Room of Hotel Brown-
wood on Saturday night Nov. 9
at 8 o'clock.
This Is the second annual ban-
quet of the First Baptist college
department and it Is fast growing
Into one of the outstanding social
events of the college year.
Toastmaster for the occasion is
to be Lattlmore Ewlng popular
educational director of the First
Baptist church.
Principal speaker for the ban-
quet will be Dr. George Green
chaplain of Camp Bowie Army
Camp. A number of the faculty
members and town residents are
planning to attend the Hotel
Brownwood affair especially to
Band To Feature New
Drill Maneuvers Fri.
Something unusual in the way
of drills and novelties will be pie-
sented by the Howard Payne Band
at Its performance during the half
period at the Trinity Universlty-
H.'WHtd Payne College football
ii i here Friday night
The drills will be unusual in that
tlie band will move Into tour
squads from the regular band for-
mation. Each squad will drill sep-
arately at the same time forming
definite patterns when the band is
viewed as a whole. The band will
fotm the letters USA horizontally
across the field and will play a
military march In honor of Ar-
mistice Day as the lights go off.
Mr. Parker will direct with a light-
ed baton as Miss Beryl McDonald
from Brownwood High School
twills a burning baton. As a spot-
light shines upon Miss McDonald
tlie band will break up the let-
ters and move back into the squad
formations to move off the field.
The Baton-twiillng Cotps Is now
fully uniformed and will appear
with the band nt all times during
the year.
At the TWC-HPC game at Fort
Worth last Saturday the Howard
Payne played a featuted role. Af-
ter its individual performance
they weie joined by eight other
bands including bands ftom both
high schools and colleges. As one
mass band the hundreds of musi-
cians played "God Bless America"
and "The Eyes of Texas" as "San-
dy" Sandifer of TWC directed from
an elevated platfoim.
Down On Slacks
while other choices Included "Old
Spice" "Apple Blossom" "Inde-
screet" "Friendship" "Tropical
Spice" and "Shanghai." So cer-
tainly there Is a gi eater choice
lor the new spicy and oriental per-
1 times. H
Favoiite wearing apparel among
the gitls Is the suit any kind
costume or spoits but it's defi-
nitely tops. And why not? It has
so many possibilities goes every-
whete and does things . . .
The boys ballots were fun
too . .
Eight of the twelve had rather
hee glils wear sports and town
clothes while two choso to see
them in fotmals and two wouldn't
state preferences saying it de-
pended entirely on tho girl and
the occasion.
Blue Is the favorite color of sev-
en boys three chose brown and
two chose green. All of which
proves that they are improving by
avoiding the drab gieys and
blacks favorite for so long among
their sex.
Now gills here's a couple of
tips: Seven boys voted "No" to the
costume Jewelry now the rage;
three said thoy liked it; one said
"If moderately worn" and another
answer was just plain "so-so."
On saddlo oxfords tho votes wero
evenly split six said "yes we like

guess It's still foi us to decide yea
ot nay.
To gitls wealing slacks the
opinions were somewhat surpris-
ing. Only four wetc Intolerant and
thought them inappropriate on all
occasions; thtee definitely said
"Yes" and five voted "Yes on
pioper occasions." I think Joe Bell
put It rather aptly In saying "Yes
- some girls In some slacks on
some occasions."
Nine boys had rather attend a
picnic two a formal dinner and
it made no difference to ono other.
So by this picnics are tops at
Howard Payne.
The favorite motion picture ac-
tor among the twenty-four inter-
viewed Is Spencer Tracy with
Clark Gable secondary. Other ac-
tors polling more than one vote
were Charles Boyer Errol Flynn
and James Stewart.
Favorite actresses by far Is Betto
Davis with Myrna Loy running
second place. No other actresses
polled more than one vote.
In the "Best dressed boy and
girl on tho campus" survey
Blackie Sherrod and Helen May
were tops. Other students who
polled more than one vote each In-

New Office Now
Occupied Bi YJ
For all these yeais as Howaid
Payne college has grown and
expanded from year to year the
Yellow Jacket student publi-
cation has done its part in
promoting and publishing as
best it could. Its various edi-
tots and staffs cramped In the
portals of a small office on the
second floor of the Mims build-
ing has watched each depart-
ment move and expand.
And this week when the Yel-
low Jacket needed help and pro-
motion those who had been
assisted in the past did not just
sit idly by but came to Its aid.
Now thanks to the officials
of the college the paper has
moved into a larger more spa-
cious office on the second floor
of the Mims building. Continu-
ing in an expansion and pro-
gressive movement that was
inaugurated by Roy Fox 1938-
10 editor the paper has taken
a wide step in its betterment.
The new office of the publi-
cation staff is located where the
fotmer public school music
classes were held. Enttance is
gained by taking the right stair
in the Mims building.
Jewelry For Girls
Clifton Tennison; for the girls
Jean Carter Frances Avinger
Doris Mcintosh Madeline Healer
and Lillie B. Landua.
The "Favorite food" question
brought out many idlosyncracles
to say the least. For instance Joe
Bell likes red beans best and
Bernlce Miller's choice was roast-
ing ears. Chocolate pie is the
top dish but Bill David's choice
was steak and onions; Liz Cran-
ford said squirrel; Frances Stln-
son likes shrimp. Charlie Law-
tence can bo won by fried chick-
en and Clifton Tennison by pecan
plo a la mode.
Joyce Wheeler's favorite is but-
terscotch pudding. Dallas Alford
likes conjealed salads of all things
and Dorothy Mcintosh and Lillian
Shaw choose chicken fried steak.
Garland Terrell's favorite food Is
fish.
Tho surprising factor to me
about tho whole survey was that
everybody answered readily and
usually emphatically. So surely
there ate many thoughts given to
the little things like clothes.
It's been a great deal of fun
and In tho near future this de-
partment will tour Howard Payne
Hall and find out just what It is
that makes the girls do just what
they do.

FOR NOVEMBER 30-
HPC Officials Announce
Homecoming Activities
Howard Payne college officials
this week Inaugurated plans for
the Institution's fiftieth homecom-
ing that will bo held on the campus
here Saturday November 30.
J. H. (Cnp) Shclton college
business manager stated Wednes-
day that 2000 invitations will be
sent out to Howaid Payne ex-
students for the annual reunion
festivity that will be climaxed by
traditional Yellow Jacket-Hardin-Slmmons
Cowboy football clash.
Although school officials arc re-
luctant to state just how many
friends and former students they
expect to throng the campus home-
coming day it is believed that be-
tween 700 and 1000 will be on
hand by game time In the after-
noon. Thomas H. Taylor college presi-
dent has already given out a
skeleton outline for the reunion
progtam and stated that he and
others are working rapidly In an
effort to draw up final plans as
soon as possible.
HPC Gets Access
To Film Library
Howard Payne this year for the
first time is taking advantage of
tlie great educational film Ubraty
available through the facilities of
Texas University This school is
the depository for one of the larg-
est film llbaties In the southwest.
For un annual foe of twenty-five
dollars any and all of the films of
un cducationul nature are avail-
able for free tental provided they
ure shown to the students without
collecting a fee. Films of an en-
tertaining character are not in-
cluded but those of historic scen-
ic travel scientific or other na-
ture are Included In the collec-
tion. The administration has author-
ized the depositing of this fee
with the State Univetslty so that
for merely the cost of the two-
way transportation these films
might be available to the students
in Howard Payne. The Science
depattment has altcady had some
of these films this year and is
planning to take further advantage
of this type of visual education.
Other departments may do so if
they choose.
In addition to films from the
university others may be had from
certain schools industrial plants
museums of natutal history and
many concerns where a minimum
of advcitising might possibly ac-
company the Him. Even the Fed-
eial government through a num-
ber of its bureaus make these
films available for free distribu-
tion. Some three or four sets of
reels have been ordered ftom the
Mutcaus of Mines Pittsburgh
Pennsylvania Fotd Motor Com-
pany Texas Gulf Sulphur Com-
pany Humble Oil and Refining
Company and others.
Announcements as to the show-
ing of these films will be made
from time to time and It is highly
tecommended that students other
than those in the particular classes
for which they are shown might
likewise avail themselves of these
facilities.

CAMPUS PERSONALITY-
Howard Heads Scientists
Is Scholar Camera Fan
A stubborn tuft of hair that
wouldn't stay down was tesponsi-
ble for a name that stuck for four
yeats. Thus today It is "Roostet"
Howard instead of just Bernard.
"Rooster" Is the unassuming
little chap who tosses back the
tight answers to the my t lads of
questions unleashed in Freshman
Chem. Lab. And although he
weats no boots spurs or holsters
yet he is probably the outshootlng-
est man on the campus as he cuts
loose right and left for Lasso
snapshots.
The calendar showed only thrco
shopping days until Christmas
when the stork outclassed Santa
Claus In the matter of gifts to the
Howard family. This happy Yule-
tldo was spent In Vlcksburg Mis-
sissippi by the Howard family
and the newly born Bernaid. Tho
Mississippi mud had hardly dried
on young Bctnaid's tiny totsles
before tho Howard family wero
Texas bound finally settling in
the heart of the black land Beltou
Texas.
After six years of grammar
school "Rooster" enrolled at San

Potent Offense
Kickoff Slated For
7:45onY-JField
By JOE BELL
A rootin' tootln' shootln' bunch
of Ttlnlty University Tigers cast-
ing their eyes toward an undis-
puted conference championship
will put Howard Payne's unbeaten
league-leaders to their acid test
Friday night at 7:45 o'clock when
the two clubs meet on the local
gridiron in the week's outstanding
Texas Conference football argu
ment.
Although they have never dur-
ing the history of the conference
defeated a Howard Payne team
and aie trailing the Yellow Jack-
ets at the present with one defeat
the Wuxahachie offensive special-
ists will be primed and confident
of stopping the Keatonmen since
a victory would place them on the
inside track to an undisputed per-
centage advantago in circuit play.
" Boasting ono of the most dan-
gerous attacks in the state and
more veterans than any other Tex-
as Conference squad the Tigers
throw a football around with reck-
less abandon yet with amazing
accuiacy. So amazing in fact
that they leglstered 240 yards on
passes against Abilene Christian
while losing 10-20. And last week
as they shot down Southwestern
12-7 the Tigers piled up 16 first
downs to 1 and 265 yards to 75.
HPC Record Impressive
But when you start looking over
past records there ate hardly any
as impressive as the leading Bap-
ln.1 Ti'ey Ijainpd typ morn rj.
spect and piestige last week when
they made Texas football fans
howl with delight by coming from
behind twice to finally leave Texas
Wesleyan dazed and groggy with a
last minute 14-10 triumph.
The Yellow Jackets blasting
back on a path that they hope will
be marked with the 1940 title have
had only 12 points scored ugainst
them in conference play and have
found a successful pass and power
combination that has stowed up
127 circuit points in four contests.
But nobody knows any more
than Coaches McAdoo Kt-aton Nig
McCnrver and Alvah Boggs that
their clubs' respective tecords wil
not be worth the paper they are
compiled on come Fiiday night
It will be a case of just plain have
to for both elevens. And when a
couple of teams are In that pre-
dicament just about any punch
may be pulled.
It's a known fact that the Fri-
day night's battle will be one of
the most sizzling scoring duels
this season and the team that wins
will have to outscore the other--not
blank it.
Except for Amos Eggen only
(Continued on uage 4)
senior year.
The fall of 1937 found "Rooster"
dumping his duds in a closet over
Todd Hall way where he was con-
sidered a topnotch freshman for
the ensuing nine months. During
this Initial year at Howard Payne
he began a brilliant Journalistic
career as circulation manager for
tho Yellow Jacket and assistant
business manager for the Lasso.
He turned in such a fine per-
loimunce at the Lasso Assslstant
B. M. post that In the spring
elections that freshman year he
was elected as Lasso business man-
ager for tho following year.
Last year and this year Rooster
has been serving as Feature Edi-
tor of the Lasso. Ho leads the
Science Club as president this
yenr and was elected to Who's
Who and as Most Scholarly Out-
standing in the Interesting Col-
legians' selection.
Probably tho only person in
Howard Payne who knows what
the Intrlcltely carved figures on a
chessboard represent "Rooster" Is
a master chessman as be follows
tho difficult game as a hobby.
And so we leave tho little man
with tho unruly tuft of hair but
not for long for we're expecting
something of him In future years
after graduation this spring
