OUR CAMPUS
Have you noticed that the campus is
becoming green, with a little air of
preparation for the coming spring?
Of course you have thought of it since
that announcement in chapel, and you
intend to keep off the grass when it
becomes green — when it becomes
green. But grass will never grow if
it is continuously trampled. Every-
one must take more thought and pride
in our campus.
None of the college property should
be abused, as it spoils the clear record
of the College. The campus, as well
at the buildings, is college property.
From it visitors receive their first im-
pression''of like or dislike for Tarle-
ton. A campus of smooth, even, un-
littered grass causes the visitor to
judge favorably of the college and its
students. Thus, if first impression
counts, and it does, we must keep a
beautiful campus, which will show the
Tarleton spirit of appreciation.

CHOOSING A VOCATION
One of the most important things in a man's destiny is the choos-
ing of a vocation, especially the vocation in which that individual will
be the happiest and can render the most service to mankind.
First, you must remember that there is no difference between
sacred and secular work; but that all work is sacred, and that all work
is divine. In choosing a vocation you must study your likes and your
dislikes, you must know something of your mental capacities, and you
must know to what emotional qualities you" rfisjfond the more quickly.
In sizing uy yourself you should be very careful not to overrate,
yourself, but more important than this is the fact that you should not
underrate yourself. You are just as good as anyone else.
There are too many people today who decide upon a vocation be-
cause they think it is easy or because it pleases others. No one can
choose a wife for you, die for you, or be saved for you; neither can any
one else choose a vocation for you.
Studying the needs of the world, before deciding upon a vocation,
is very essential. You should choose a vocation that will render a
service to the majority of people as well as one that will develop all
of your capacities.
The last, but yet the most important essential in choosing a voca-
tion is to accept God's plan for your life. Even though it may be con-
trary to your desire, if you would be 'successful and happy, His plan
must be chosen. However, do not be in too big a hurry to know what
His plan is. God did not tell Paul that He wanted him to be a great
missionary, but He told him to go to Damascus and seek out the street
called Straight. Let us take our time, think, and pray.
VOICES CALLING US
It is now that our ears are begin-
ning to catch the clear tone of voices
calling us. From out of the mysterious
distance comes the sound of these'
voices so mingled that we can scarcely
distinguish one sufficiently to name it.
But as we listen, our young ears de-
tect, above all and louder than the oth-
ers, the alluring voice of pleasure.
Who has not listened to her call?
Then why blame us if we too turn
our ears to listen? The path of least
resistance has always had the most
travelers, and the voice of pleasure
bids us follow this path. Even though
this path be inviting, there is the bet-
ter self within us that bids us close
our ears to the call of pleasure and
spurn the path of least resistance. We
realize that strength of character is
not developed in such an environment.
Since the strong qualities of leader-
ship and usefulness have no part in
the life of a pleasure seeker, let us
listen to the promptings of our better
selves and leave the transient rewards
of pleasure to escape from our line of
thought.
If we listen closely, we can detect
the sound of other voices calling us.
There is the voice of pleasure, finan-
cial success, and fame. Then if we
listen a little more closely we can hear
another voice which we had not heard
at first. As we listen, we eannot de
tect in this voice any promise of ease,
financial success, or fame; but some-
how there is an appeal in it for us. It
is the voice of service, and in the light
of its promise we can see in the future
only years of steady work. Even
though the voice of service offers noth-
ing but toil, who had not rather turn
and listen to her call than either of the
other three? If we follow the voice
of' service, we may, in the end, have
peace and joy and may at least receive
the commendation of Him who went
about doing good.
CAN YOU IMAGINE
A good home-cooked meal in the
dining hall?
Mr. George not talking on love?
John Patton without any demerits?
Thelma Clark winning the popular-
ity contest?
Hazel having a Tarleton S. A. ?
Erline not griping about some
thing?
Mrs. Ashby saying, "girls make all
the noise you want to; the lights will
not flash tonight?
Mrs. Chamberlin wearing spike
heels ?
Sue not yelling for Jess at a ball
game?
Gilmer without Dude, or Suvella
without Jack 1
Shorty Nance with the blues ?
Mr. Hunewell approving of the
S. A.?
Sheik looking up to Bonnie?
Quietness and solitude at the Fort ?
Pish Aiken on a diet?
Tarleton students boosting a Grubbs
ball team ?
A pep meeting on a day before a
ball game?
Fish Middleton having a serious
thought ?
Mr, Eedden being a movie star ?
Miss Mahan saying, "Seniors, this
is the brightest class I have ever-
taught ?"
Mr. Ferguson being-in a hurry?
Dat Toepperwein dignified?
For various reasons there has failed
to be, the" last few weeks, an account
of the doings of the Fine Arts depart-
ment in the J-Tac. We hope we will
always have a report, from now on as
we know everyone is interested in the
club.
At the last meeting of the Fine Arts
Club an exceptionally good program
consisting of numbers from Chopin,
Beethoven, Wallenhaupt and Koelling
were rendered. Those playing these
numbers were Blanch Yarbrough, Ma-
Beth Lawson, Marie Oxford and Helen
Brantley. Kathryn Deering, Kathleen
George, Lessie Head and Verdi
Browning play upon the violin, show-
ing much talent.
Students, March' 16th, the A. & M.
band will be here. Wouldn't you just
love to hear it. Remember the date,
and further information will be given
about it later.

CURSES
With the exception of an occasional
chirp of a cricket, the night was still.
The peeping moon cast its rays
through the second story window of
Mary Corn Wilkerson. Upon two beds
lay two huddled figures. Suddenly the
stillness of the night was broken by
the jingling of an alarm clock, be-
longing to some one down the hall.
The figures began to stir. After much
groaning and rubbing of eyes, they
crawled out of bed and hurriedly be-
gan pulling on apparel. Finally one
figure remarked that she had never
known it to be so dark at five-thirty in
the morning. The other figure replied
that things naturally looked different
when one was getting up to study than
when one was coming home from a
ball game. They each found a book
and once again every thing was silent.
After a considerable length of time,
one figure looked up. Could it be pos-
sible that it wasn't yet time for the
bugle? She looked at her watch and
the hands pointed to five-thirty! The
figure rose and hastily walked into the
room from where the jingle had come.
There sat a figure, alarm clock before
her, studying like mad. "I'm nearly
dead," she said. "I've been studying
since three o'clock. Hope my alarm
didn't waken you."
Flop!
SAY DIDJA EVER?
Say, didja ever make a date with a
real sweet strawberry blonde, and
didja sit on her sofa and hold her hand
that night, and did her father come by
the door before you noticed and hap-
pen to see you holding her hand; then
didja ever have her father to speak
about you at the breakfast table the
next morning as being a very "senti-
mental" young man? Well, I didn't
either, but Cow Menzies did.
Miss Mahan says that a person
should be more strict with one's self
than with anyone else. The Senior
class feels sorry for Miss Mahan if
she is more strict with herself than
she is them.
. By Mojbs Gray
Master Sergeant U. S. A.
About the armory on the afternoons
when Sergeant Gray is tough,
When the Rifle Girls of Tarleton come
up to do their stuff.
With the reports of 8th C. A, hanging
fire and over due,
It isn't any wonder that the sergeant's
feeling blue.
Up comes Mrs. Ramey and Mrs.
Graves and Dayle,
Elizabeth Burleson, Ruth Hunter and
Lucille Kyle,
Ruth Clark and Miss McDonald are
usually next in line,
And maybe Esther Hassler, Rudene,
and1 Topperwein,
Virginia Smith and Mildred Howell
are usually on the scene,
Miss Sellers and McMordie, and Black-
burn, Pauline.
When the assembly is affected and the
rifle party's planned,
And the time for loading rifles and
firing is at hand,
Then the old familiar questions
Throughout the hall resound.
Oh, Sergeant Gray, please come this
way,
Captain Mulcahy is away, and it seems
to me
Impossible to shoot the way he says.
But if you will assist me, I surely will
improve.
Are you sure the strap's adjusted right
and no oil in the grooves?
Well, I'll proceed as heretofore
And beat my previous score.
The sling's too tight, Sgt. Gray,
Don't you think I'm an awful bore?
Oh Sergeant Gray, please come this
way, ' -
No matter how hard I try,
Instead of hitting where I aim,
It always goes too high.
I wish the Captain were here today
To cheer me up a bit,
And instead of missing all the while,
I am sure I'd make a hit!
Do you think it's my fault, Sergeant
Gray,
That I made this terrible score?
Or do you think it's the rifle's fault,
That I can't shoot as before?
I am sure it's not from nervousness
Nor from loss of sleep, and say,
It's not from the old familiar ail
That the boys all call S. A.
