' Saturday night with their spring
dary;e, The Rec. Hall was decorated

ed the dance floor from the tables
placed at the sides of the room.
Life savers with U.S.S. Eterrias
painted on them were placed on the
walls at intervals and portholes
were placed on the doors. The re-
freshment table was in the form of
a ship's bar with a colored attend-
. a,nt, Jjehind whom a huge American
,flag, made a back drop.

Hobbies give people spice and
color. That can go the other way,
too; people give hobbies spice and
Color. Since the reaction is double,
hobbies make life more interesting
in - general, for the hobby-horse
riders themselves and for their ac-
quaintances as well. With these
facts alleged to be true, it is in
order to say once more that Tarle-
ton is a very interesting place.
large number of students and
faculty members are hobby fans.
Collects Menus And Cups
There is Miss Lee Edwin Terry,
associate professor of home eco-
nomies, for example. She could
not stop with on.e hobby; she car-
ries on two at one time. Sfte col-
lects menus and coffee cups. The
menu hobby was begun about six
years ago. Besides dozens of dif-
ferent one,s from New York to Cal-
ifornia, she has two French ones,
about six from old Mexico, and
one from the "Dutchma^.''
The coffee cups have been piling
up fast even though the first one
appeared in her possession only
about three years ago. There are
about 52 different individual cu|te
which represent nearly all of the
American makes of china and pot-
tery. They come from New York,
Canada, Chicago and Old Mexico,
New Orleans, and nearly all of
the Southern States. Or^e from
New Orleans is over a hundred
years old.
Mr. H. P. Easton, associate pro-
fessor of history and goyernment,
has a hobby quite foreign to his
profession. It is music. He attends
all operas, concerts, apd even
all of the musical programs on
the campus that he possibly can.
In the opera world he has attend'
ed performances by Lily Pons, and
such operas as ''Carmen" and "Ai-
da." He studies and reads about
all of the great composers, compo-
sitions, and opera seasons. He also
plays the piano, and improvises,
as he says, "just for his own
amusement." Anything .pf interest
in the music world, is of interest
to him.
Authority On Indian Folklore
Jack Wilson is an Eagle Scout.
Through his scout work he has
become enthusiastic about the lore
of the North American Indian and
has made it his hobby. He .has been
the Indian Lore Councillor at Camp
Billy Gibbons, San Saba. He is an
authority on all council ceremonies
and procedures, chants, and Indian
customs; and he makes all of his
own ceremonial costumes.
Most of the seniors have heard
at some time about the doll collec-
tion of Miss Lillie V. Lillard,
Stamps and Bonds—
minstrel, was the dance by the jit-
terbugs. Clyde Cone and Marion
Glenn and Victor Narvell and
Frances Crowell really went to
town. The novelty numbers, which
were a baton dance by Louise Lind-
ley and a tap dance by Gloria Eu-
bank, brought forth many a whis-
tle, and several were heard wond-
ering about their ages.
The most impressive thing of the
entire performance was "The Star
Spangled Banner" sung by the
cork chorus and the audience. The
"V" for Victory, painted on the
wall in luminous paint aroused in-
tense patriotism. It is no small
wonder that approximately $165.00
worth of stamps and bonds were
sold.
Rice In N. C. A. A. Cage Tourney
Three of the eight college bas-
ketball teams which will compete
in the National Collegiate Athletic
Association' tournament had been
selected last Thursday and ident-
ity of several of the others had
been fairly, well established.
The Rice Owls, co-champions
with Arkansas, of th$ Southwest
Conference, will represent section
number 6, bounded by Texas, Ari-
zona, and Arkansas, as well as Col-
orado's Big Seven Champs who are
certain to represent section 7.
Lieutenant J. E. Bieknell, a form-
er Tarleton Student, is now.in the
Air Corps. He hassbeentin both
Spokane, Washington, and Canada
and was recently ' transferred to
Trinidad, South America, His wife,
the former Ollivette Killough, form-
er Tarleton co-ed, has returned to
live with her parents in Eastland.
She visited Miss Clara Savage and
Mr. Charles Froh Tuesday, March

head of the speech department, but
the subject is probably new to "the
freshmen. Miss Lillard's collection
is not of just do.lls, but of dolls
for another purpose, She studies
their types and costumes in rela-
tion to the costuming of the thea-
tre. ' r
The dolls are nearly all hand-
made by the natives of the country
which they represent and are all
dressed in the national costumes
of their countries. There are mariy
sizes, and there are many stories
behind them. A good many have
been given her by friends which
she has in foreign countries, Oth-
ers she has bought herself in her
travels on the European continent
and to Mexico. She has at least
one doll from nearly every country
and a doll to represent nearly ev-
ery class of those countries. Her
collection amounts to over 400 dif-
ferent dolls, some of them in co.u-
ples.
Games, Elephants Collected
Among some of the other stu-
dents with collections are Frances
Schmidt, who pounces on every
type of game which people can play
at get-togethers; Lauret^e Key-
ser, who has about 100 elephants—
one from Michigan, one from
Pike's Peak, and an ivory one from
Hawaii; and Glenn Woodruff, who
has been experimenting with wood-
work nearly all of his life. He has
made desks,* little tables, bookcas-
es—all together about fifteen piec-
es. ^
A friend in Chicago started Mrs.
R. Berton Coffin's collection of vas-
es for her by giving her an ala-
baster vase she secured in China.
Like nearly all collectors, Mrs.
Coffin's hobby has been increased
all along by other friends' aid. Now
she has about 65 or 70, most of
them very minute. The vases are
divided into groups. She has a
group of wedgewoods and wedge-
wood imitations, and one of the
p'otteries, some of which were made
in Mexico. On the Coffins' trip to
the East this summer she purch-
ased some vases in New England
and some of British pottery from
Canada. It is not a mark" against
her that she has a Japanese vase;
but if she becomes very angry
sometime and has a temptation to
throw, vases, she might pick up
that, one. Mr, Coffin wanted to be
surevhow he stood among this vase
museum; therefore, he suggested
at the beginning that some limit i
be put on it. They made an agree-
ment (that Mrs. Coffin would not
spend more than a dollar on any
single vase.
Has Prized Horse Of Italian
Marble
. One hundred and ten horses, of
all sizes, gallop around the room
of Dick King. One of these horses
is a little yellow creature made of
china that galloped all the way
from1 Little Chinatown, Los An-
geles, Then there is a crystal one
from Boston, one carved of wood
from Mexico which has a real lea-
ther paddle, a tiny ivory one from
the Churchhill Downs, Kentucky,
and' a straw on^ from Tijuana,
Mexico, Dick's prized steed was
carved from Italian marble by a
man 88 years old. It is about four
inches high, is from California,
and was the last one the man made.
Iris MiJle** has a love for books
and now has a library of 250. She
collects every kind—classics, best
sellers of the day, novels, books
of' information, antique textbooks.
The two books of her library which
are the most interesting are very
old. One is a primary reader which
has been handed down through the
family for five generations. The
other one is an illustrated Chinese
fable, a-veryJsmall book, which her
father brought her from China."
