VOL. XV.
STEPHENVILLE, TEXAS, SATURDAY, OCT. 27, 1934.
mJMBEft 8
Pl.OWBOY
Fellows, do you ever think what
goes on behind everyone's mask of
a face? Really, a lot of things
happen that you just have to take
and smile. Those fellows from
Dixie University were a typical
example. Just to show you what
a handicap they were under, lend
thine ear just a moment. The week
before coming here they made a
trip to South Texas to play two
games;. Their coach gave rubber
checks for their meals, rooms, and
bus fare; then he took all the mon-
ey and flew the coop. The boys
held a meeting and decided that
they really should finish their
schedule if possible and came ov-
er here. To make matters worse
only fourteen men arrived in Ste-
phenville and they had not had
anything; to eat since eleven
o'clock that morning. I think that
we should really give them a hand
for getting out there and putting
up such a grand fight in the face
of such overwhelming odds.
I wonder if everyone enjoyed the
lyceum as much as I did? The
Meistersingers really turned out a
pretty piece of work as far as I
am concerned. Really, practically
all of the lyceums will be enjoyed
by the student body if they will
go to hear them. They are a part
of your education just the same as
any class that you have. So, you'll
only be spiting yourself if you
don't go.
Well, everybody wear your little
costumes Wednesday night and
then get mad because everyone
recognizes you.
Well, I'll be seein' you at the
dance. Look for me to ride in on
a broomstick.
—Honest John.
ASHTON PRESIDENT
OF UNDERCLASSMEN
The underclassmen met in the
Home Economics auditorium Tues-
day morning for the purpose of
electing class officers and spons-
ors. Mr. Wilkins met with them.
The following were elected; Price
Ashton, president; Opal Teagle,
vice-president; Eulabel Chappell,
reporter, Jacqueline Hall, secre-
tary-treasurer. Miss May Jones
and Mr. R. L. Eaves were chosen
as sponsors.
New Rule For Fort Pagsed
The following rule has been
passed by the College:
"No one will be allowed in the
Fort unless they are in company
with some boy who lives there, and
absolutely no loitering will be al-
lowed in the living room or in any
other place in the Fort during
meal hours."
Co-Eds Make Their Bow
A group of light housekeep-
ers have set a very nice style
that looks very neat. Instead of
their black ties being tied into
a dozen or so of different knots
in the back, they are tied very
neatly into a modest bow. That
bow looks very good beside
those pinned up several laps.
Of course if the chambray col-
lar is turned down, all this
sight is unseen; but they are
very often turned up to keep
the sun from freckling the co-
ed's neck and keep out the
wind.
The Livingston's Little Light
Housekeepers are the beginners
of this new and unique style.
Only the L. L, L. are doing
this- now.
T/RLETON PLAYERS
PLAN ENTERTAINMENT
Something new, something dif-
ferent, and something exhilarating
will be given in students' chapel
next Tuesday. Dan Cupid himself
will be presented to the students
by the Tarleton Players in a pro-
gram of fun, merriment, lovemak-
ing, and laughter.
First and most important of all,
three attractive co-eds will reveal
the identity of the dearest cadet
in Tarleton. Who is he and what
does he look like! What is this
?reat charm that he exercised with
such momentous effect upon the
fair co-eds of our institution? Lou-
ise Pierson thinks that he is from
Dublin; Fanora Neeb thinks he is
from Dallas, and Jean Arthur
says he must be from Bluff Dale.
The full name of this great Tar-
leton hero will be proclaimed from
the stage.
Ben Goldbeck will give an en-
thusiastic discussion of a cadet's
opinion of a typical co-ed of the
campus. Who is she and how does
she act?
Dale Cleveland and'Audre Hall-
mark, stilt believing fervently in
the college youth of today, will
portray a vivid picture of a fair
co-ed and a sincere, bashful but
ardent cadet seated in the dormi-
today—why must girls be mar-
evening after the clock has struck
10:30.
The old question is still asked
otday—why must girls be mar-
ried? The answer, a century old,
is still looked after. Throughout
all time man has remained the
same, and the young girl, in the
glow of the moonlight, dances
away into her dreams,—lured by
the mellow, si'ver notes of the
mocking birds and the strum of
guitars in the distance.
This program will cost ten cents.
Every student should take advan-
tage of this great opportunity to
be enlightened on the subject of
Dan Cupid on the Tarletcn cam-
pus.
The returns from the program
will be used to buy material for
the debate team.

J-TAC EDITOR OF 1931-32 TO
MARRY EX-TARLETONITE
An announcement has been re-
ceived on the campus of the ap-
proaching marriage of Woodroe
Jackson and Kathryn Rogers, both
ex-Tarletonites, to take place No-
vember 11 at the Methodist church
at Caddo. Kathryn's home is in
Caddo. Woodroe is-manager of the
Perry Brothers store in Halletts-
ville. He was editor of the J-Tae in
1931-1932.
The Town Girl's Club of West-
moreland College entertained with
a theatre party and dinner follow-
ing the show. Each of the town
girls took a dormitory girl to the
show and invited a different girl
home to dinner. This procedure en-
abled the girls of each group to
meet more of the other group.—
The Dial.
Fall on Campus Makes Grass Greenery
Shrubs Prettier, and Benches Handier
Fall at Tarleton is always a
beautiful time of the year. After
the unusual quiet of the summer
months the fall months approach
with the opening of school. The
shrubs are never more beautiful,
and the grass never greener than
at this time of the year. The cool-
ing breezes, which carry with
them a note of winter, give a
thrilling and certain excitement
even to the drudgery of class
work.
The birds still left on the cam-
pus seem to be singing more mer-
rily as though they knew that this
bliss could not last forever. The
deer seem to be having their one
last fling before the winter snows
and rains set in, for one rarely
p&sses their pens that they are not
tampering about. Even the fish in
the ?onds are unusually lively,
and if one slowly and quietly ap-
proaches their homes they can be
seen playing all sorts of games.
Not only are the animals and
shrubs enjoying ecstasy of fall,
but there is rarely ever a bench
left vacant at any hour of the day
on any part of the campus. Pre-
sumably lovers realiae that all too
soon they will be forced to vacate
these park benches for the com-
fortable parlors of the Dormitory.
Certainly of all the seasons, the
best season on the Tarleton cam-
pus is fall.—M. K. F.

OF MEISTERSINGERS

quartet from Fort Worth, present-
ed a varied program of songs at
the Tarleton Auditorium Tuesday
night.
Mr. John Brigham, tenor; Mr.
Tom Cunningham, tenor; Mr. J. J.

les Moore, bass, sang plantation
songs, negro spirituals, semi-clas-
sical and humorous selections. Mr,
Brigham and Mr. Patterson sang
one duet. Their accompanist was
Miss Ruth Leiehmann.
A thousand people enjoyed the
unusual program. The numbers
most enjoyed were "Invictus,"
"Kentucky Babe," "Parade of the
Wooden Soldiers," "Been List'in,"
and "Love's Old Sweet Song."
The student body certainly hopes
that the Meistersingers will be on
the lyceum program every year.

GRASSBURR NEEDS 75
The entire Monday chapel exer-
cise was spent in the rehearsing
of songs at the request of Mr.
Cough, who expects to use them, in
the near future.
The program presented Tues-
day morning at students' chapel
was "foul," according to Odell El-
liott. Blair promises to have a bet-
ter program in store for next
time. Odell sang, "Two Cigar-
ettes in the Dark" in the key of
E when it should have been in C.
There were a dozen little fresh-
men gossiping in the rear of the
auditorium.
Miss Walker presented a plan of
budgeting to the girts in chapel
Wednesday, giving approximate
expense of the average girl. She
got the girls "all wised up" on
how to dress.
An announcement was made
Thursday morning that only 323
peaple had subscribed for the an-
nual. In order to make this pub-
lication possible, at least seventy-
five more subscriptions are neces-
sary. Ernest Johnson made an in-
spiring talk. He told how the pa-
per came to be named J-Tac and
how the annual acquired its name.
He urged that students subscribe
for the annual by telling how
much joy one can get from an an-
nual.

News In Biology Department
Mr. and Mrs. J. D. English
have a baby. It arrived last
Sunday morning, equipped with
bine eyes and dimpled fingers
and a little wisp of hair. His
name is Charles Raine English
after his two grandfathers, and
he can already do a number of
remarkable things, like sleep-
ing and eating and doubling up
his tiny fists. He yawns parti-
cularly beautifully, and he has
the very smallest, pinkest feet
imaginable.
Altogether he is quite a cre-
dit to the English family,
though Mr. English goe mod-
estly on his way, holding phy-
siology labs as if nothing so
wonderful had happened.
