Just Observing
BY VIRGINIA REYNOLDS
Amidst lessons and learning
last week I paused at the out-
burst of enthusiastic enactment
of entertainment. If you have
seen or heard Carolyn Hyatt
freshman dramatists give one of
her readings you know just what
I mean.
Carolyn keeps quite busy
speaking for clubs schools and
parties and even in everyday
conversation she never ceases to
facinate her friends. Carolyn en-
joys acting also and is a member
of the present Curtain Club.
Wandering on'past the speak-
ing talent I met Arlette Wilson
who paints in her leisure time.
Have you noticed those blue tics
with the yellow jackets painted
patriotically across the satin fin-
ish? Those are the latest crea-
tions of Arlette's artistic abili-
ties. Talent is strangely identified
in some cases and perhaps that is
the case of Harold Dean Moore.
Harold's particular accomplish-
ment is his individual way of al-
ways having a laugh for you. His
bashful looks doesn't interefere
with his personality.
Have you met Belcher? Thai
girl with the maroon convertible.
She's better known as "Burper"
to those who really know her
and if you don't you will.
Say this class does have talent
but what else could you expect
from a freshman class in the
"college where everybody is
somebody?"
THEME FOR

sary" of Howard Payne. Includ-

Jackets Play First Home
Conference Game of Season
Smarting under their first conference win over Austin College
ast Saturday night Howard Payne will play host to tho South
western Pirates this week-end October 22 at 8:15 in Lion's Stadium.
Vih their offensive game sharpened up last week-end the Jackets
.Vill be out to avenge the 3-0 set-back at the hands of the Bucs last
season.
Southwestern defeated their
town rivals Daniel Baker last week-end 2!i-0. Southwestern has
one defeat in conference play and the Stingers are even-up at one
in each column. It will be the first conference tilt the Wrightmen
have put on for Brownwood grid fans and previous records of both
teams show it will be an interesting fracas.
The Bucs coaching staff head-
d by William H. "Spot" Collins
will put their charges through
routine workouts this week per-
viewing movies of last weeks
game and sharpening up their
offensive and defensive strategy.
The Georgetown aggregation
and Howard Payne have had two
mutual rivals so tar this season:
those being Louisiana Tech and
Southwest Texas State. The Pi-
rates opened the season with a
scoreless tie with San Marcos
who were defeated two weeks
ago by HPC 6-3. In the other
game I have heard both sides
that Louisiana Tech won their
game with the Bucs and some say
they lost the contest. Iread both
of these reports but the most re
cent was that Southwestern lost
20-18. Beats me what the real
scoop is.
MISSION BAND HAS
PLAY PRACTICE
Play practice for the annual dy Frcy blocking back last year
Volunteer Mission Band play and guard this season will pro-
which is this year "The Years bably be the mainspring in that
Ahead" was held last Tuesday j department
night in Mims Auditorium. Howard Payne lias clashed
The one-act play is by Elliot
Field and according to the di-
rector Gene Tomlin has a defi-
nite missionary message.
The Tuesday night meeting be-
gan with testimonies by Bobby
Haun Betty Montgomery Pearl
Shuffield Nelda Hatcher and
Leland Turner of what Mission
Band plays had meant to them
in the past. After the singing of
a missionary hymn there was a
prayer for the leadership of God
which reported the director is
necessary if the play is to accom-
plish its' purpose.
Turner who is the assistant
director outlined the purpose of
the play thus: "Each year the
Mission Band sponsors a play to
be put on at various churches in
this area to present the Gospel
story of Missions around the
world.1'
This year's play is about Ram-
sey and his financee Audrey Jor-
dan and their struggle between
a career and God's will for their
lives. Bob's parents and a young
Persian medical graduate study-
ing in America complicate the
plot and make the decision an ev-
en harder one. The climax of the
action comes when Parviz the
Persian tells Bob that his life
has helped him embrace Christ-
ianity. Bob Ramsey is played by Ken-
neth Brown sophomore trans-
fer from San Antonio. Audrey
Jordan is played by Grace Is-
monde freshman also from San
Antonio. Robert T. Latham
freshman is Parviz and Jimmy
D. Ladd freshman from Michi-
gan plays the part of Audrey's
father.
Nelda Hatcher senior from To-
ler plays Emma Ramsey Bob's
mother. June Sanders and Pearl
Shuffield are Peggy and Shela
friends of Audrey.
The directors stated that the
play would probably be ready
for extension trips before Thanks
giving. They said that they were
expecting many new experiences
in the play this year.
Last year's play "No East or
West" was presented twenty-
five times and traveled approxi-
mately 2000 miles.

Thought
For This Day
Life after all contains only one
great problem that of adjust-
ing yourself to the inevitable that
you can keep peace of mind and
your self-respect. The great vic-
tory of life is the conquest of
worry. The greatest discovery a
man can make is how to escape
envy and hate. Douglas Freeman.
"little brothers" and our cross-
But just comparing scores won'
win the ball game and the te. i
members last year will vouch
for that. Last season the Stingers
were heavy favorites yet lost
the game on a field goal by
Frank White.
Leading the attack put up by
the Pirates in their single wing
formation will be Frank White
versatile backfield man from
Breckenridge. Frank starred as
a high school player and did al-
right for himself last season with
the Bucs making second team
all-conference. And as I said be-
fore booted the deciding marker
in last year's tilt. An all around
man White will do most of the
j Southwestern passing running
and kicking.
Along with White in the back-
field will be Leo Chafin a nine-
teen year old sophomore of Geo-
rgetown who has shown up well
on the back-wing position for the
Buckaneers. In the line Coach
Collins will be able to field quite
capable group of men there. Bud-
with the Pirates on 20 separate
occasion itie Jackets nave man-
aged to win 17 of these and los-
ing three. Two of these three los-
ses have come since the begin-
ning of football again in 1946 af-
ter the conclusion of the war. The
Stingers have amaassed a total
of 37(5 markers while Southwest-
ern has scored 1 Hi.
If you have noticed Howard
Payne has held the edge over
each teifm we have played this
season in the total games won
and lost but as you have seen it
doesn't mean we will probably
win. This game especially is a
tough one for us. The boys need
our backing against this "cocky"
bunch so let's give them all we
have got.
