Mr. G, 0-. Ferguson, Secretary,
Tarleton Ex-Student Ass'ri.,
Stephenville, Texas.
Dear Sir: .
Received yoiir application, for
membership to the Tarleton Ex-
Students' Association, have been
* intending to send in .my subscrip-
tion for the J-Tac, but have been
si^busy that I haven't had time to
attend to it. Am glad you called
- my attention to it.
I would like to have come, back
to Tarleton this year but as I
have started in business, 1 think'
it best to continue with it. My
... father taught me the cotton busi-
nessbefore his death, and it was
his.wish that I carry on his work.
I like the cotton business and ex-
pect to follow it.
I hope you will, have my J-Tac
sent me as soon as possible as I
am anxious to keep up with the
happenings at Tarleton.
I want to come up there on a
visit some time this winter, when
business is not so rushed.
Southwestern University has
opened with more students than
ever before. But it will never
equal Tarleton. There is one
Tarleton student attending S. W,
—-a Miss Jowell. I do not remem-
ber her.
I close, sending my best wishes
to Tarleton and hoping it has the
finest year in its history^
Yours verytruly,
., WALTER JOHNSON,
heavy course, but I am making
very good grades so far. I have
to average 90 in Spanish to get
all my units in it. So far my
average is 96. I hope I can report
that when school is out.
I am staying in the. Dormitory.
Having a nice time as well as
studying hard. We only have
about thirty girls in the Dormi-
tory and about the same number
of boys in the boys' hall.
When you all come to play ball
all of you come that can. I would
like to see all that J. T. A. C.
bunch turn out down here. You
need not worry about not winning.
I am not worrying for you one bit.
If there are any of you old stu-
dents there that would like to
write me and cheer me up a bit I
surely would appreciate it. But if
you write be sure you tell me all
about what you are doing and
about the demerits. Hasn't Mr.
Ferguson eliminated those de-
merits yet? I am sure he has,
Well, I really must quit and
here is wishing for you all a very
happy and successful years' work
in all your undertakings.
Respectfully,
DORINE BOGGUS.

•""To the student Body, J, T; A. C.,
We realize that tomorrow is a
great day for . Tarleton. The old
enemy, Grubbs, must be defeated.
We - are betting on you. You do
riot realzie how dear to his heart
the old school is to each ex-stu-
dent. We will join you in cele-
brating the victory when Grubbs
goes down in defeat.

Dear Mr. Davis, Faculty Members
and Student Body:
It affords me much pleasure to
so address you, I can never for-
. get those pleasant days" I spent
therewith' you. I did not know
• what it was to get lonesome there,
but here 1 am lonesome all the
time. However this is a fine place.
I do not have any objection what-
soever to this place, and the peo-
ple cire all very very nice. Of
course this school is a Divine in-
i stitution and along that line it is
better than J. T. A. C. But for
athletics, literary, and home eco-
nomics give me good old "John
«. .. Tarleton of the West."
'We are taught the Bible here
■ just the same as any other literary
subject which I think is grand. I
am glad that I have the oppor-
, tunity of studying the Bible, and I
wish that all you had the same op-
portunity, for of all other sub-
jects1 I think,' and I'm sure you all
agree with me, that the Bible is
surpassing.
May- I say how isi our football
team this year? Fine though I
know. Some one asked me the
. other day what I was going to do
when. John Tarleton came down
here to play football. I told them
I didn't exactly know but that I
could never hope to see John Tar-
leton beaten. I don't want to be
disloyal , to the Thorp Spring Col-
lege but it is impossible to hope
they win over J. T. A. C. I love
old John Tarleton just that well,
* - How many students do you have
this year ? : There are over a hun-
■■ dred here but I do not know just
|iow many.
I am a senior in the Academy
here this year. Have an extra

Dean J, Thomas Davis,
Stephenville, Texas.
Dear Mr. Davis:
Will it be possible for me to
take some work by correspondence
from John Tarleton Agricultural
College? I am teaching in a four
teacher rural school, and at pres-
ent I have sufficient time to carry
one or more courses by corres-
pondence. I can get the work
from the University of Texas, but
prefer taking it from the college
I began with.
I would have written to the reg-
istrar, but I was not sure if Mr.
Ferguson held that office at pres-
ent.
My hopes and prayers are for
a very successful year for John
Tarleton, I am,
Sincerely,
. LEONARD

Dear Mr. Davis:
Allow me to congratulate you
upon the increased enrollment of
Tarleton for this coming school
year.
Please convey my best wishes to
the student body for a successful
year, and in order to keep in
closer touch, with Tarleton, I
would like to be listed as a sub-
scriber of the J-Tac.
My wife and I are enjoying
Rochester immensely. We have
located in a small furnished
apartment, situated in a good part
of the city, and affording fine car
service to my new work, which is
at Washington Junior High.

NOTES ON THE GAME
The guards in belts and bayo-
nets took their posts at one o'clock
under the command of Captain
Sledge.
Tarleton co-eds, the cadet bat-
talion, and band were in the
bleachers at one-thirty. Under
the direction of Miss Fellman
and Captain Harris the girls,
dressed in white, formed the let-
ters "J-Tac" and the cadets filled
in the intervals. The white let-
ters contracted with the khaki,
showed up very plainly.
• At two o'clock the student body
went oh the field and practiced
some stunts to be given between
halves. They were under the di-
rection of Captain Harris.
the fast growing crowds. The
visitors had a fine band but with
Band Sponsor Miss Estelle Gibbs
leading her band, the Arlington
bunch had not a chance.
Tarleton's youngest co-ed, little
Miss Nels Marie Westcourt, dress-
ed in a blue chambray and accom-
panied by her father and mother,
took her place in the bleachers.
She was quite enthusiastic and
cheei'ed happily when Fat Boyer
beat the Grubbs band playing
"The Old Gray Mare."
There is to be a meeting of the
most prominent men in Texas in
educational affairs at the Adol-
phus. Hotel in Dallas this week.
They will meet to discuss the pub-
licity campaign in connection with
education, Dean Davis will at-
tend the meeting.

in the grand stand at 1:40 but the
greater number came at 2:10.
At 2:15 the Tarleton student
body marched in column of fours
to the grandstand and Yell Leader
Baker made the Junior Aggies a
speech of welcome. Miss Iva Bur-
leson likewise welcomed the visi-
tors. After giving them a yell
and singing "On Ye Tarleton" the
students formed again in the
bleachers to wait for the game.
For thirty minutes the two
bands vied with each other in
making music and entertaining
