JUNIORS
VOLUME 9
STEPI-IENVILLE, TEXAS, FEBRUARY 9, 1929
NUMBER 18
For the benefit of the new stu
dents and several juniors we wish
to explain that .the heading of the
J-Tac is a view taken from the
south side" of the campus, This cut
, was donated by the Sophomore
class of last year.
Weren't those two games Wed-
nesday and Thursday nights about
the best you ever -saw? And didn't
you get excited when the score was
tied so often?
Did you notice the clean sports-
manship shown throughout both of
the games?
Plowboys, we are backing you in
that game Saturday night with
Daniel Baker.
Thursday night the band was in
Dublin. Of courac they were miss-
ed but we wonder how much noise
we would have had if they had
been there.
The Juniors are always backing
you, Plowboys, in every game. We
are behind you one hundred per
cent in the two games with Daniel
Baker.
The Junior Staff wish to express
their thanks to those who helped
make this issue a success.
We appreciate the co-operation
given us by the regular staff and
the help given us by various
people.

Greetings From the Commandant
Juniors, sometimes I think you do not realize how important
you are in Tarieton. In numbers you are larger than the
others combined; however, number is not the only thing for
as I see it one of the most important, things is that next year's
student body will be guided and directed by yon. How I wish
I could impress upon you the importanct of your returning
next year for your senior work.
In years gone by only about twenty per cent of the jnlniors
have returned the following year. I know of no greater ac-
complishment for yodr class and for Tarltton than for you; by
some means or other,, to have fifty per cent of your class back
in Tarieton next year.
In bringing greetings to the junior class of this year, I want
to extend my congratulations and appreciation of the class for
what you are doing this year and to leave with you. the thought
that should be in every junior's, mind from now until next Sep-
tember, "I am going to be a senior in jTarleton. next year."

Grosham Expresses Sentiments
With this issue of the Junior
edition of the J-Tac, I feel that it
is the appropriate time to express
my gratitude and appreciation for
the wonderful support that the
Junior class has given me; I have
enjoyed the fellowship of one of
the best classes in; Tarieton. I
have felt honored to be president of
a group of students who have co-
operated in a commendable way as
you have done. It has made my
task one of pleasure.
But let's not slow down. Let us
keep uj) that spirit to the end of
the year, for there is lots to do be-
fore June. In a few weeks the
Juniors will have a party which
must be a good one. Other enter-
tainments will bt arranged for the
class later on in the year, including
an entertainment for the Seniors.
When the Grassburr staff opens
its campaign for the school favo-
rites we must use all of. our influ-
ence on the Junior class nominees.
Our class greatly outnumbers the
Senior class so lets out vote them
