PERSONALITY PARADE-
Boy From Chillicothe; Girl From
Mason; Both Favorites on Campus
SYBIL SCHMIDT
Sybil Schmidt is eighteen, years
old and five feet, two inches short;
she weighs 105 pounds, wears size
four and one-half shoes, and has a
beautiful, sun-tanned complexion,
hazel eyes, and a fluent vocabulary.
Need we say more? Sybil began
her Tarleton career immediately
after graduating from Mason, High
School. A few highlights of her
former career include her serving
as vice-president and valdictorian
of her senior class and. as pep-
eryone and is liked by everyone on
the campus. He especially likes peo-
ple with wit and enjoys having a
good time in a quiet sort of way.
Bob first decided during his soph-
omore year in high school to be-
come a doctor; and he is doing very
well, although he is not an "A"
student. He will continue his work
at the University of Texas unless
he joins the Air Corps or the medi-
cal division of the army.
Bob enjoys sleeping more than
anything else. He has a habit of
sleeping through his zoology class-
es, Life magazine and short-story
books provide his favorite reading,
and he has an interesting collection
of pretty-girl pictures. He is a good
dancer and likes to ride horse-back,
play tennis, swim, and watch foot-
ball games. It may also be interest-
ing to learn how he manages to
keep two girls at home at the same
time.
BOBBY TOOLEY
A very prominent pre-med stu-
dent on the campus is Bobby Too-
ley.' He is secretary and treasurer
of the Lords and Commoners, a'
member of the student council, a
first sergeant, and vice-president of
the Pre-Med Club. These achieve-
ments, however, are not the only
evidence of his popularity. He has
too good a background to miss.
While in high school, he was presi-
dent of his sophomore class, vice-
president of his junior class, presi-
dent of his senior class, and area
president and best all-around boy ii\
FFA Club. Bobby also played foot-

ball and was on the student coun-
cil. Who would not be happy with
such a record ?
A native of Chillicothe, Bob is
seventeen years old, six feet, one
inch in height, and has curly brown
hair and green eyes. He likes ev~
squad cheer leader. She is major-
ing in social science and is going to
the University of Texas this fall. It
is her ambition to become a dean of
women. In Tarleton she is secre-
tary and treasurer of the Tejas
Club and society editor of the
J-Tae,
Her favorite food is ham and
eggs, but you would never believe
it if you could see her eat water-
melon. For her size she is some-
thing of a champion. Her room-
mates, agree that she has a varied
wardrobe. She prefers bright col-
ors, and her ideal costume consists
of blue and white. She dislikes hats
intensely.
Sybil is easy to please, but her
pet phobia is boys who chew to-
bacco. She loves pencils in their
places. The thing she is looking
forward to at present Is seeing the
show "For Whom the Bell Tolls."
The book rather fascinated her. She
likes romantic shows, and "It's Al-
ways You" is "tops" on her hit
parade.
Sybil likes to do what she wants
to, regardless of the consequences.
However, she has good sense and
uses it. Can, you feature her as an
artist's model? Well, she is—and a
good one at that. Even Mrs. Bax-
ley agrees that she is very patient.

Army and ROTC
Cadets In Series
Of Ball Games
Army vs. R.O.T.C.
The first of a series of games to
be played this eight weeks took
place Monday, August 9. The game
ended with the Army team on the
long end of the 12-10 score. As the
score shows, it was a . very good
game and, the teams were evenly
matched.
The ROTC started off with a
"bang" when Burroughs and Jones
knocked home runs. After this the
ROTC stayed in the lead until the
last inning. Then the Army started
a rally and made six runs before
the game was over.
Pitching for the ROTC was done
by Grey. The Army pitcher was
Fritz. Both boys did good pitching
for the first game they had pitched
in quite awhile.
The ROTC made one error to
three for the Army. Hits for the
ROTC were thirteen to eight for
the Army.
The Cadets Beaten Again
Another of those "after-dinner"
ball games was played last Friday,
August 6, at the regular place. Af-
ter leading for three innings, the
ROTC team lost ground and came
up on the short end of a 11-5 score.
The pitcher for the Army was
Fritz, who has proved himself by
taking two out of three games.
Grumble pitched for the ROTC. He
is even up now, with one loss and
one victory to his credit.
The Army, after being shut out
for two innings, came back to score
two in the third, four in the fourth,
one in the fifth, and four in the
sixth to put them on top. The
ROTC made their five runs in the
first four innings.
The Army had thirty-four men
at bat and made eight hitSj eleven
runs, and four errors. The ROTC
had thirty-four men at bat and
made seven hits, five runs, and six
errors.
ROTC Wins Over Army
The ROTC took over in their sec-
ond game with the Army to win by
a 7-5 margin. The game was play-
ed Wednesday, August 11, on the
drill field just as the sun was get-
ting low enough to get in the bat-
ter's eyes.
As in the first game, the ROTC
team started in the lead by bring-
ing in two scores to the Army's
one in the first inning. They man-
aged to hold the lead this time by
bringing in ah additional three
scores in the fourth, one in the
fifth, and one in the sixth. The
Army was always close behind with'
one score in the first, one in the
second, ane in the third, and two
in the sixth.
The pitcher for the Army team
was Fritz, and Joe Grumble pitch-
ed for the ROTC. Both boys did fine
work.
The ROTC had thirty-seven men
at bat and made eight hits, seven,
runs, and five errors. Out of thirty-
two men at bat, seven hits and five
runs were made for the Army.
They had ten errors chalked up
against them. ^

the ROTC. The first game ended
with a 3-2 score, and the ROTC
triumphed in the second game by a
score of 8-7.

team in the iirst game was Doug-
las. This was his first game of the
series, and he pitched very good
ball. The ROTC pitcher was Allen
who also pitched good ball. Allen
Was the winning pitcher in the sec-
ond game.
t Cadet Chatter t
By SAM 8BOWNE
Don't George Colon and Peggy
Sullivan make a cute couple? They
seem to think so, too. Love must be
just too too wonderful!
The current flutter of the week
is none other than Ellison Tom and
his beautiful Titian tresses,. Come
on, son, give the females a break.
Lou Jane Land seems to have
landed a man, and what a man!
Some more breaks should be
given by Sybil Schmidt, Janel Ul-
bricht, Mary Smith, and Otekia
Bell. The soldiers have been inquir-
ing all about them, and we do mean
all.
John B. Armistead is quite a
name on the campus now. At least
Ann Newman thinks so. Oh, Bee-
chie, it must be just wonderful to
have such a sweet 'lil ole accent!
Say now, this little deal between
Jean Poe and J. D. Jennings is get-
ting serious. Why they even hold
hands now.
Here's a toast to Paul McKirtley
and Anna Mae Brooks. Those two
make Tarleton seem like home.
Scotty Scott was really worried
about the results of two letters he
wrote last week, but it must be all
right because Reet was here recent-
ly and we didn't notice any conflict.
Speaking of Reet, we were really
glad to see her. This ole campus
just hasn't been the same without
that Risinger gal.
George Dixon seems to be all
broken-hearted without his twin,
Barbara Goodgame. Perk up, son;
she hasn't forgotten you.
Reba Anderson is really whippin'
out with these soldiers. We've seen
her everywhere and have finally
reached the conclusion that that
gal gets around.
Tula Sue Wooldridge seems to
have trained her sights on Sonny
Deason, Nice shootin', T. S.
That Chemistry 301 class is just
filled with bright pupils. The
brightest of these is Harold Har-
mon. Oh, how that boy knows
chemistry.
■ Cotton looks a little tired these
days, but as pretty as usual. There
is one swell little girl!
The Tarleton girls seem to like
the idea of having the soldiers
around. Tough about you JTAC
boys! ■
Eloise Clonch has rounded up her
share of men., Nich lookin' string
you've got, too, Eller.
Isn't it sweet the way Oliver
Alexander looks at the slave brace-
let he's wearing. Wonder whose it
is?

By THE EDITOR.
Hello there—yes, you! How have
you been? Do you like Tarleton?
The salutation includes the student
body as well as the trainees. Let's
all work together and enjoy our
work at our school.
One way to know what is going
on and to be sure of observing rules
is to read the bulletin board. It may
be found in the Administration
Building, On it all announcements
and the latest rules are posted for
every one's convenience. Take ad-
vantage of your opportunities. Read
the bulletin board regularly.
Be friendly. A bright "hello"
helps everyone's morale, whether
he receives or gives the greeting.
Be cheerful. It takes less effort to
smile than to frown; try it. See!
Several forjner students have ex-
pressed their enjoyment of the 3*
Tac. It is our purpose to make thfa
paper interesting from all points
of view. If you readers have any
suggestions, please pass them on to
a member of the staff. Such action
will be greatly appreciated.
It has been brought to our at-
tention that the trainees have said
that it will be too easy to date the
co-eds, since their addresses appear-
ed in the J-Ta'c last week. I can
assure them that there will be
plenty of obstacles to overcome if
Work is what they want. JTAC co-
