LEOPARD TALES
April 29, 1960
TJC TRACK ENTRANTS—Six boys from the TJC sports department
are attending- the state meet in San Antonio. Four of the entrants
shown here are Robert Stiba and Danny Saltsman, standing; and
Tommy Popelka and Joe Mihatasch.
TJC Sports Include Basketball,
Track, Tennis, Golf, Tumbling
The athletic department at Tem-
ple Junior College is one of the
school’s most outstanding features.
Basketball, track, tennis, golf, and
tumbling are the sports offered to
the students, aside from excellent
courses in physical education.
The TJC basketball team outdid
all its previous records this year,
and many of its star players will
be returning to the courts next
year. There are also great expec-
tations for the track and golf
Wanted: Bugs
Of All Kinds ^
The people of Temple are un-
doubtedly convinced that TJC bi-
ology students should be sent to
a ‘bug-house,’ but the students—
well, they’d just as soon have the
bugs!
Mrs. Newton’s students are all
required to turn in forty insects;
that is quite a few little animals,
in fact, it seems like an army to
many squimish girls.
Bottle, butterfly nets, chloroform
and insect pins have become every-
day equipment to many people who
have had little experience with any
of these things.
If Templeites knew that the
young biologists are not playing
Livingstone but only attempting to
capture bugs, TJC might receive
some sort of exterminating com-
mission. (See picture page 3)
COMPLETE OUTFITTERS TO MEN & BOYS
TEMPLE’S NEWEST STORE
FOR YOUNG MEN
for school
and after school
teams, whose season is just begin-
ning.
The tennis team is already off
to a fine start in the spring tour-
naments. The girls tumbling team
performed for all the home basket-
ball games, and also school clubs,
and civic organizations,
organizations.
The miracle man behind each of
these activities is Coach Jim
Brown. It takes nothing short of
a miracle to attract basketball boys
from out of town to a school where
there is no athletic dormitory and
to keep them in training when
there is no way to look after them.
Some sort of magic is needed to
mold a track team where there is
no track and a tennis team where
there are no courts—and Coach
Brown has that magic.
Coach Brown came to Temple
from Gordon High School, where
he was athletic director and prin-
cipal. Since he has done so well
in the short time he has been here,
Temple Junior College sports
should really be tops next year.
Library Usage

ple Junior College student body

Spring Training
Spring training for basketball

GO boys fi’om the surrounding areas
are expected to try out for the

Horseshoe Tournament
A horseshoe tournament will be
held on the TJC campus Friday.
The tournament is open to both
boys and girls and anyone inter-
ested is asked to sign their name
on the list on the bulletin board.
Points will be compiled for the
freshmen and the sophomores and
the points will go toward the
Sports trophy.
Cheerleaders
The junior college yell leaders,
Linda Harrison, Mary Jo Erskine
and Pat Obenhaus, received let-
ters and sweaters in April. Mr.
Johnriy Payne said that because
the girls did such an unusually fine
job for the school this year, sweat-
ers were given also instead of just
the letter.
Sophomores •
Win Fight-Night
Four hours of fun. This sentence
can well describe the time spent
at Temple Junior College recently
at the all-school “Fight Night.”
From 7-11 p.m. the freshmen
were continuously battling with
the sophomores in various events
to gain points. Finally the sopho-
mores showed their superiority for
the first time this year in com-
petitive events. The “higher”
classmen won the “Fight-Night”
and flew their flag highest on the
flag pole.
Results of the events were the
following:
Tug-of-war, won by the fresh-
men; sack race, sophomores; “dizzy
izzy,” sophomores; student “hog
calling,” sophomores, first place
and freshmen second and third;
girls volleyball and girls basket-
ball, sophomores forfeited, fresh-
men won; boys volleyball, sopho-
mores; girls vs. boys volleyball,
sophomores; Chinese basketball,
sophomores; and other various
competitive' sports.
One of the most interesting of
the events was the “hog calling”
by the faculty- The men displayed
tremendous voices, but the women
didn’t fair so well.
The last two games which have
not been played, tennis and horse-
shoe throwing, will determine the
winner for the Sports trophy.
Three Students
Are Pledges To
Delta Psi Omega
Three Temple Junior College
drama department students were
named pledges to the Delta Psi
Omega fraternity recently.
Mary Sue Hooks, a freshman, Ed
Cook and Bill Peters, sophomores,
were named as the new pledges of
the fraternity, an honorary dra-
matic fraternity and the only fra-
ternity on the campus.
Mary Sue has been a member
of the -debate team and was also
a member of the “Superior”-rated
play cast in the state contest. She
was named to the All-Star cast in
the state contest for her portrayal
in the TJC entry, “The Wonder
Hat.”
Ed, like Mary Sue, was a mem-
ber of the high-rated play, under
the direction of Mrs. Summers,'
speech teacher. He was also named
to the All-Star cast for his role
a£ a magician in the one-act play.
Bill has been active in speech
activities since the beginning of
the semester. He was also in the
production taken to the state con-
test. Bill participated in the State
Forensic Meet held recently. He
was entered in Radio Speech.
Three physical science courses
are offered at Temple Junior Col-
lege. They are chemistry, biology,
and physics. Miss Velma Wilson
teaches chemistry and Mrs. Anne
P. Newton teaches biology. Mr.
Calvin C. Cheiwenka is the physics
instructor.
