more will be added, ■ :
-. Miss Bonebrake has taught the
art of riding for five years at Gulf
Park, Gulf port, -Mk^v "where she
had'a class of eighty-five. She won
two out of three races which she
entered,- While attending Okla-
homa University, she won several
cups in horse shows. She held the
'position of secretary of the polo
and riding association there and
was instructor in riding for two
years at the same place.
She is a graduate of the El Reno

nis, basketball, swimming, and golf
interest her.

Can anyone explain the .look of
longing on the face of Lula Mae
Goodwin and Lee Edwin Terry
when the boys left for A; & M.?
: Who were the boys who : went
somewhere Saturday night?'Where
did they go? They were out of uni-
form, out after hours, out without
permission, out with a car, out for
fun, -and out with a policeman.
Fish Watkins sang his .two now

thought it was their last chance,
for a long time.

Tarleton Is Host to Heart of Texas Press
Association at Fall Meeting Saturday—
Students Hear Visiting Editors at Chapel
The most putrid, pusilanimous,
insipid deed that has been perpetra-
ted in a long while accurred the
other night. At about one o'clock,
a.m., Fish Yates woke up, thought
she heard a mouse in her room,
hopped out of bed, jumped onto
a chair, and screamed at the top
of her voice. Only a few people,
including the chaperone, heard her.
Tarleton was host to the editors

opining of the session of the As-
sociation, At that time Mr. J. J.
Taylor, State Press of the Dallas
News, and Mr.- W. A, Smith,: edi-
tor of the San Saba.News,.spoke. ■
Both , Mr. Taylor. and Mr, Smith

students very highly. Mr. Smith is
responsible for a large number of
students' coming to Tarleton every
year, and these students are of the
highest type, ., < . . ;
"Character is the most important
thing, in the life of a student and
everyone should strive to better
himself," Mr. Taylor said. .
Dean Davis and members of the.
faculty entertained at a luncheon
in the College diiiing hall for the
visitors and many other' citizens
of Stephenville; were present also. .
The afternoon session was held
in the dining hall immediately fol-
lowing: the luncheon,
Mr. Taylor addressed the journal-
ism students Saturday .morning be-
fore being introduced in chapel and.
gave them an interesting talk about
newspapermen and, journalism in
general. The students -who were
fortunate enough to to hear Mr,
Taylor, got a thrill from hearing a
real newspaperman.
Fort thirty-five years, Mr, Tay-
lor has bfeen in the newspaper bus-
iness, and he gives those who have
helped him the credit for his suc-

well yet, and what hurt it in the

tension work department. The class,
at Goldthwaite will begin the first
week of October. The college's
night class began work last week,
with a good enrollment.
Varsity basketball men are to
start training for the' winter pro-
gram soon, James Cullar, one of
the mainstays on last year tennis
squad, returned Monday.—The Op-
mist, Abilene Christian College.
There's just , one thing that is
wrong1 With the football team's
facilities-.this year, cry the Co-Eds:
'Last year they had a telephone."
In response to this lament Mr. X
is personally sponsoring a fund to

tions by Mr. "X.")—The Ranger,

Practical journalistic composition
will be taught to the Journalism
students at the Texas College of
Arts and Industries,- A number of
Juniors have enrolled in. the . course
which is known as English 304.
Mr. Francis, head of the English
department, is instructor. All stu-
dents enrolled in the course report

After terrific struggles the fresh-
men finally finished his examina-
tion and wrote a note'at the end
as follows: "Bear Professor: If you

A certain S. A. ing shave tail

Lambert went away for the week-
end, and he did. He did not go very
far, however. The two days were
spent with Aunt Lucy, who. was
valiantly striving to. keep him from
having double pneumonia. . . ,.
There is a report out that, the
freshmen at the Fort put the upper-
classmen under the showers Sun-
day night. How do you suppose
that happened?
;j Notice, unmarried-women facul-
ty members! There is a new, eligi-
ble man on the faculty. He is Mr,
English, fresh from State, and we
are hoping that he will suit some
ine of you, P. S,*'Heretofore the
only eligibles were Mr. Redden,
Choc Sanders (engaged), Lotus
Nordyke (gone), and Big John
Oliver. E. A, Blanchard was really
the big hope of the ladies until
last spring, at which' time he broke
about twenty hearts by marrying
a student. ' ""
We suppose that the post office
is doing more business this year
than last because there ar6 a great
many mote- fresh trie n this year
than last.
Was Fish - Withers glad to see
Stockton Sunday night? She was
dressed all afternoon long in an-
ticipation of hi3 arrival.

There is one young lady on the,
faculty who has a new square cut
diamond.
One fair co-ed was heard to re-
mark that, the McMurry' boys ate
not careful enough about their
dress. For instance the ties and
socks are conspicuous by their ab-
sence.
"One: must have fidelity, good
common sense and -a fair, edu-
cation to be able to work on a
newspaper," Mr. Taylor said, "One
must know a great 'deal about a
great many things, to be able to
write,intelligently concerning them.
"The newspaper-business is not
a romantic one, when one eomes to
depend on- it as a profession; It is
just hard work like anything- else,
but .it does have its compensations-.
There is not, a: person, living who
does not get.a sort of thrill out of
seeing a good piece of his own work,
in print. Most reporters say that
their articles could have been more
y
sagacious and more adequate -had :
they-had. more time in which to
write and that a man is always bet-
ter than his work. ••
■ "A journalist should acquire in-
formation on various subjects and
expand his. vocabulary without
seeming , to be a fanatic or overly
effective. His first equipment is
his words; his ideas are aequiredV
Words and ideas work together like'
machinery after one gets into.-writ-
ing. - ■■ ■
. ."In many' respects newspaper
.writing is very pleasing and a very'
good way to make a living, but one ■
must have a sufficient knowledge
of the traditions of. the community
in which he writes, and of the peo-
ple. He must also have a certain
amount of social popularity if his
paper is to be popular, ■
"So you see there is mora to be-
ing a newspaper reporter than
merely a writer of news."

If they can give all this, it is a
duty that should be; a pleasure to
you and everyone who has heard
the name of Tarleton to give the
best you have to back and,support
the Plowboys to the last.
We're playing against a four-
year team, all four-year wen ex-
