came here because there is a great
deal of energy in the English de-

short-lived, however, because the
young coed decided that there was
too much studying in college. She
dropped out of college after the
first year and left Texas to "see
the world." She worked in Ohio,
Maryland, and Washington D- C.
In 1955, she decided i that she
wanted to go back to college and
make another try of it. Surpris-
ing everyone, the young coed grad-
uated with honors and was a mem-
ber of Kappa Delta Pi and Alpha
Chi. Between her junior and senior
years in college, she was asked to
teach high school, in El Campo,
on an emergency certificate. At
Soxithwest Texas, she received hex-
Bachelors degree.
Whn asked why she decided to
come to Tarleton, Mrs. Huffstick-
ler commented, "Tarleton is a four-
year college with a growing lib-
eral arts program, I'm very pleas.

the mxisic to some of these and
soon she began singing to her
classese. Mrs, Huffstickler not on-
ly livened up many a class, but
