LEOPARD TALES

WE GOT FOUR F’s AND AN A
And we didn’t get them just this semester, either! Sounds
bad, doesn’t it? Well, it’s really not—in fact it’s good. But
we’ll tell you right now what the F’s were.
First of all, there are all the Friends we’ve made in jun-
ior college. Since having friends and being a friend to others
is about the most important thing in everyone’s life, this
is something which TJC gives that we can value always.
Then, there’s all the Fun we’ve had in TJC. And it’s
really been fun hasn’t it—all the Luncheon club parties, the
picnics, barbecues, dances, assemblies, and drug store non-
sense !
Another one of the F’s we got is very important—it’s
Fellowship. There’s a certain spirit that exists in TJC that
can’t be expressed in a few words—a spirit of comradeship,
cooperation and cheerfulness that is rarely ever found in
such abundance as is right here on our own campus. And
this fellowship isn’t just between the students, but it takes
in the attitude of the teachers toward all their students.
We’ll have to admit, won’t we, that they are usually very
understanding when a term paper is just a day late, or the
last page of the English assignment just didn’t get read.
The last F we got is Faith—a deep faith in people, in
ourselves, and in the future..
And we’re proudest of all of our A—Accomplishment.
We’ve advanced in knowledge, in experience, in understand-
ing, and in wisdom. Our two years in TJC haven’t been
wasted. They’ve been two full, good years, worth all the
effort, work, and worry.
We got four F’s and an A, and we certainly got more
than we’ve given!!
GOODBYE, YOU ALL—AND THANKS A LOT!
After spending two very profitable years in TJC, the
time has come to say “goodbye” to all the familiar friends^
teachers, classrooms, and memories that the school has given
us. We’ve met many new people here in these halls, and
we’ve learned a lot, both in our classes and out of them.
We’ve become members of a group that is always interested
in wdrking for the good of all—a group that is friendly,
democratic, and very loyal. Thinking of all these things,
we find that it is not easy to say a snappy “so long,” but
instead we want to say “thanks a lot.”
First of all, we want to thank every member of the staff
this year for the fine work done to make the paper this year
the best TJC has ever had.. (At least we feel that way!)
Thanks also goes to our teachers for the splendid work they
are doing in TJC classes to make them not only educational
but also enjoyable.
And finally, we want to say “Thanks” to the adminis-
tration for all the hard work they have done in the past,
and the work they will do in the future for the betterment
of Temple Junior college.
And while we’re talking about the future, we have some
ideas, too! Maybe they’re just wild dreams, part of them,
right now, but we are hoping in the not-too-far future years
they will be realities.
A College Council is something which we feel that TJC
needs in order to grow as it should, and so we’re hoping that
the Temple Junior College Council will definitely be in ex-
istence, and be playing a big part in the activities of the
college by next year.
A Christian Student Union in TJC is an idea that prob-
ably not many students have had. But such an organization
could meet perhaps once a month on Sunday evening and
have programs to help develop the spiritual atmosphere in
the college. It’s just an idea, but we hope you’ll like it and
talk it up and maybe ^form a CSU here next year.
It seems that students this year have not participated
in clubs as much as they should have. Maybe the standard
clubs in TJC need re-organization, and certainly they need
more spirit.
One vitally needed department in junior college, and one
that shouldn’t be too hard to organize, is a dramatics de-
partment. The drama students could present plays and as-
semblies during the year, and perhaps be a great credit
to the school in state dramatics contests.
Next year, we hope that more interest will be shown
in TJC sports, and more emphasis will be placed on awards
the outstanding graduate and freshman student at the end
of the year.
TJC should have an activity period, when assemblies,
class meetings, committee meetings, conferences, and drug-
store get-togethers or study periods could be held.
More than anything, junior college needs a play room—
just a big, barny room all its own, where students can
and honors, such as exemption from exams, and awards to
study or read or just sit around and talk over a Crke.
We hope that you’ll try to put these and many of your
good ideas to work next year, and help TJC to really cele-
brate 1950—her Silver Anniversary year!

Swimming Party Climaxes
Year's LC Activities
By Lamerle Walker
The Luncheon club activities for
this year ended with a bang—I
mean a splash! The Belton Nata-
torium was the scene May 11 of a
swimming party. It seems that
once again old man weather step-
ped in with rain, and the location
for the swim had to be changed
from Riverside to the Nat. We
swam from 5 to 7—and the water
was warm, believe it or not.
To satisfy all, the appetites that
a good vigorous swim will work
up, we went to the new American
Legion building (or is it the club
house ?) to eat fried chicken, potato
salad, beans, and cookies. President
Bill Harrison kept telling us that
there were plenty of seconds.
After everyone had eaten all he
could, Jeff Oliver directed some
games. We still don’t know where
all the hats came from, but they
looked soo cute on the ones who
were frantically putting, them on
and taking them off!
In the next game, Ann Odom and
Judy Chapman were carried on
pack saddles to race from the start-
ing line, around “goal posts” Miss
Elizabeth Holden and Miss Gracie
Twelve Students

nouncement from the TJC college

walader, Mary Elizabeth Evans,
Harold Holtman, Frances McDon-
ald, Betty Manley, Mary Ann Mar-
tin, Norbert Moeller, Winifred
Monaghan, Ann Odom, Lamerle
Walker, and Mary Sue White.
Second Radio Show
Presented Over KTEM
The second program in the TJC
radio series, “Salute to Seniors,”
got under way Tuesday afternoon,
May 16, over KTEM. Representa-
tives from the senior classes of
Lott, Bartlett, and Academy ap-
peared on the program with four
TJC students, Sue Marshall, Dixie
Gilleland, Bryan King, and Brian
Boswell.
Representatives from the various
schools are appearing on the broad-
cast to tell of happenings in the
way of school activities for the
past school year.
The third and last program will
be on May 23. This program will
feature the representatives from
Temple High School and Temple
Junior College. The program begins
at 5:15.
Watson, and back to the starting
line. The winning team was the one
that carried Ann. Several boys
were chosen to see how fast they
could push a penny down a stick
on the floor by a tooth pick in
their mouths. Howard Kennedy won
that game. By the way, the prize?
for all winners were sticks of
candy.
Bill Harrison took up the role
of first sergeant as he gave com-

and Harold Traylor. They showed
how they did it when they were iv
the service. Then they presented a
picture of what the rookies of to-
morrow might look like. (Looks
like this old world is going to the
dogs).
The party ended with a dance
and I think everyone was a little
sorry to think of this year and all
its activities being over.
The officers and the different
committees which worked to make
this last party a success also work-
ed on all the other parties. We
want to thank them for everything.
They done good!
