PLOWBOY!
■ The Western ^Division of the Tex-
as JuniorCollcge Athletic Associa-
tion, includes plenty..tough compe-
titon. Th6 championship ■ for this
division, of which John, Tarleton is
a lAehiber, will be played the last
week of February, and the cham-
pions will play, the winners of the
Eastern Divisional thd State title.
The- 'teams ; 'in ■■ our division- are:
Amarillo, Sehreiner; GTeenville,
Hillsboro, N. ,T,-A. C., (Grubbs),
John Tarleton, and possibly Ran-
ger.
This will take lots of practice for
the team to do what we expect of
them and we Must- encourage them
to the limit; . Back the Plowboys! If
you. cannot go to the games away
from this icity, at least be at the
. games in your own.gym. Let them
hear you yell, shake those rafters
in there, let them know that you
are behind .them to the limit and
tp the finish. A school has to have
spirit.' Without it—isn't a school:
Those of you who have been to
the games and have tried to be a
Tarleton regular, know the thrill
that'- you . get out of seeing your
team win, and the heartaches that
aressare to follow if the score goes
against us. > ■'<'■ ' '
The Athletic. Department is a
school where one is taught to use
his }>ody and how to take care of
it. And through their work and ef-
fort comes the greatest thrill that
one' can get in college life, along
with making a 100 per - cent on
English, which isn't possible.
Come but. and see gigantic Bed
Gil hit the floor when his feet don't
work; come and see games that you
iiever will and can never see again;
the panifc is off and the famine is
on, so yell away your grades with
Temp, Spirits, Inc. 1

last week.
Lewis was. an honor student dur-
ing his stay in Tarleton. ■ Thbse
who: knew him refer to him as a
diligent and persistent worker in
the execution of 'his duties. Lewis
was lieutenant-colonel of the cadet
corps during his last year in Tar-
. leton. He was also editor-in-chief
of the J-Tae. •
. Gab© Lewis is the nephew of
Miss Lena R. Lewis, associate pro-
fessor. of the history department
of Tarleton. :'
After graduating at John Tarle-
ton, Lewis completed work for his
A.B: degree in architecture at Tex-
as A and M. He also' took' other
courses in mechanical and con-
struction engineering.
'. Since his graduation from A.

struction business for himself. He
held a position with a firm in
Waco for awhile. He is now in

homes and other buildings, includ-
ing the hospital at Bryan.
MISS RUTHERFORD IS IN
HOSPITAL AT PORT WORTH
Miss Vera Rutherford, English
teacher in Tarleton, is in the Har-
ris Hospital 'in Fbrt Woirth; She
was operated in Fort Worth last
Monday, January 11. Her brother
has been |with her the; entire time.
Several teachers from Tarleton,
who visited her last Friday and
Saturday;, reported her' condition1 as
fair, but'if will !be a few weeks be-
fore she will be able to resume

MARIONETTE SHOW
"I 1
LYCEUM ATTRACTIDH
Tony Sarg Company' td' Present
"Alice' in Wonderland" and
"Rose and the Ring"
The first week in February Tony
Sarg will present .his marionettes
at Tarleton in "Alice in Wonder-
land" and "The Rose aiid the
Ring." •
Tony Sarg's- Marionettes, the on-
ly such company to give complete
plays in . a maimer suitable for
metropolitan ■ production, was the
first' to be given as a traveling at-
traction. Now- there are dozens of
companies, but the Tony Sarg
company stands alone, say critics.
This season Tony Sarg's com-
pany consists of seven or eight act-
ors, with about 2,000 pounds of
equipment, a: complete stage with
curtains, footlights; scenery, and
costuming to perfection.
Most of the charm of marion-
ettes depends upon the' cleverness
of those who fihger them. Tony
Sarg's marionettes, if not life-size,
are indeed life-like.
This company has played in
hearly all leading American col-
leges, universities, and larger high
scho'ols.. It presented two plays at
Tarleton several years ago.
Registrar's Office Registers Foolish
Questions as Well as Other Things
The registrar's office claims'that
it hears more and sillier questions
asked than any-office or person in
school. When asked, however, they
could not remember any more than
these:
"Are these hose too light?"
(This is particularly interesting
when- the lightest shade' of beige is
displayed.)
" ''May I b§ out of regulation
shoes? If you don't believe my toe
is sore,'I'll show it to you." (It has
never occurred to them to' have
Mass Henmgaii or Miss Clemm
pass-on the sore toe.)
"May I take English 301 and
302 at the same time? I'm not
passing 301 now; so 1 want to take
'em both next semester."
"Can I change to Mr. George's
section of Education?"
"Will you tell me an easy Eng-
lish teacher I can change to?"
"I was out after hours last night
and they have me stuck for-it.
What can I do about it?"

NEW PICTURES GIVE
COLLEGE BUILDINGS
DISTINGUISHED AIR
A group of new etchings and a
print can be seen hanging in the
buildings on the Tarleton campus.
These pictures were bought through
the college by a committee of
which Miss Lena R. Lewis is the;
chairman.
Many of the etchings present
scenes, from Texas history and
national subjects. The print is a
portrait of Washington which has
been placed in the entrance of the
auditorium. Work. has begun • on
hanging the new pictures although
the destinations of some of the pic-
tures have not been decided. The
girls' dormitory will receive a pic-
ture of Lincoln and the Parthenon.
Dean Davis has a group of three
in the waiting room of his office.
A Texas group will be placed in
the girls' lounging room. Two etch-
ings,will be hung in the office of
the dean of women. The list of pic-
tures is as follows: The Battle
of San Jacinto, Mission . Concep-
cion, Stephen F. Austin, The Ala-
mo, Independence Hall,' Mission
San Jose, Washington, Mount Ver-
non, The . Capitol, Robert E„ Lee,
and the Washington Monument.
After a few months these posit-
ions will be changed about to al-
low everyone the privilege of see-
ing all the pictures. In the future
the history department hopes to
found a Texas history museum i
some building of the college. Por-
traits of Texas heroes, relics, and
Specimens are to form the collec-
tion.
MARTHELLA WISDOM BADLY
BURNED, IS RECOVERING
Marthella Wisdom, eleven-year-
old daughter of Coach Wisdom, is
slowly recovering from severe
burns on. her right leg received at
her home Friday, January 8. Mar-
thella was standing near an open
gas .heater, when her pajama leg
caught fire from the stove and her
leg waa deeply burned. She had
learned at school that one should
roll on the ground' or floor,: and
this she did, the act probably sav-
ing her from much more severe
burns: ■ At' present she is suffer-
ing from the burn,' but is slowly
recovering.

Seniors'Ambitions
Are Widely Varied
On a recent interview with some
of the seniors, various ambitions
were revealed. One senior boy
wants to become a newspaper re-
porter, save money and buy stock
in the paper. After working him-
self up to the head of the concern,
he wants to retire and write the
remainder of his life. The girls in-
tend'to get married, teach school
or do stenographic work. One boy
intends to be a farmer, get mar-
ried and raise chickens. Tarleton
will also start on the road to suc-
cess several dentists and doctors,
as well as big business men, bank-
ers, and lawyers. It also appears
that there' are some few who as yet
haven't decided what their life
work is to be. Tarleton will be well
represented in the universities of
the state next year, for some plan
only that far ahead. 1

INFLUENZA
Have you ever had the influ-
enza ? Well>. if: you. have, you
will know it if it ever calls on
you again,. It seems that about
half of the students: that have
reported tp thehospital the past
few weeks have diagnosed their
cases as. influenza. Aunt Lucy
says that she has seen only two
cases of" the real flu in the past
five years. If you ache and liave
aicold, don't become alarmed, be-
cause itis probably only a- slight,
cold infection instead of the flu.
Cheer-up, maybe it'3 not as1 bad
as you think it is.
"I do not like to wear tight-legs
and I want to send my slacks to
the tailor. Can I be out of uni-
form?"
! During . registration a freshman
asks, "You- remember, me, don't
you; you sent me a catalogue?" .
"Can I drop from Mr. Redden's
math class?" ,
At the end of the interview, Mr.
Wilkins suggested that this state-
ment be added to the article in
order that the students would not
become discouraged and cease ask-
ing questions (of course there is
no danger of that) and also' ih
order that some students1 will not
hoTd a grudge against this office
(none do how) i "Aside from .this
frivolity the registrar's office
wishes to take this opportunity to
say that it will be more than glad
at any ■ time to help any student
with ' any problem that he . may
have."

both students and faculty mem-
bers.
