Musings
(Continued front ixtge one)
Early in his school career,
people began calling Dad "Pro-
fessor Hickman," and some-
times it came out "Perfesser."
Dad appreciated the respect
which the term carried in those
days, and he tried to live up to
it. He and Mother were active
in the church, giving generously
of their means and time to its
program, and being regular in
attendance. During summer re-
vivals at Del Rio, I would pull
my red wagon to the church,
go to sleep in it, and Dad would
pull me home afterward. Church
services were long in those days,
and to me they seemed endless.
Dad liked to keep up with the
world and we took The Son An-
tonio Fxpress daily. It arrived
by mail the day after publication.
During World War 1, it was
one of very few daily papers
coming Into our little rural in-
land community, and it made
Professor Hickman one of the
better informed men in town,
of course, radio and television
were unheard of. < lie Sunday
after church, just after the U.S.
got into the War, a friend said,
"Professor, my wife has fixed
dinner for you all. Come home
with us, for I want you to catch
me up on the news."
Dad's opinions of politics and
government were mostly in plain
blacks and whites, lie was an
establishment man in most
things. He thought he knew where
the right and wrong were, and
had little patience for people
who didn't. He liked Toddy
Roosevelt, supported William
Jennings Bryan, greatly admired
Woodrow Wilson, and believed
that The League of Nations would
make the world safe for demo-
cracy. He disliked the Roman
Catholic Church, had his doubts
about the Baptists; but among
our personal friends were some
members of both groups.
He was an invarying teetotaler
and a stalward prohibitionist.
He and Mother were in their
sixties before even coffee was
served in our house, and of
course neither of them ever
tasted tabacco.
After I began to come home
from college for vacations, I
did not often talk politics with
Dad. I knew that our views were
different, and I preferred to talk
about things we agreed about,
such as hunting and fishing. One
election year when I told him
I ould vote Republican, he said,
"Well son, do as you think right;
but I could never vote for a
Republican. I came up In Tenn-
essee tot) soon after The Civil
War and The Reconstruction,
loo many of my kin and friends
remembered Sherman's March
and the Carpetbagger govern-
ment."
In tile election of 1928, where
Herbert Hoover and A1 Smith
were squared off against each
other for President, Dad liad a
difficult choice to make. Smith
was a Democrat, but he was
also a Catholic anda Wet. Hoover
was a Dry and a Protestant,
but he was also a Republican.
For the only time in his life,
he voted against his party, but
he didn't really feel good about
it.
Dad liked young people, es-
pecially ambitious and clean-
living ones, and he was some-
times able to give one a boost.
He could tutor oih; who was weak
in Math, assist him to prepare
for the teacher examination, or
help him locate a school to teach.
I have some letters which came
after his death in 1947, from
men and women who were grate-
ful for something he had done
in their youth to help them.
Texas school laws provided
teacher certificates which were
valid for one year, and had to
be renewed by passing an exam
at the County Superintendent's
office. There were short courses
of study to get a person ready
for this, and for many summers
Dad set up "Summer Normals"
to serve such persons.
The Professor also enjoyed
supervising team games on the
school grounds. As most small
schools did not have coaches,
he assigned the teachers to vari-
ous coaching duties and the first
football, basketball and track
games I ever saw were put on
by Dad with teams he had trained.
And he did love to win.
