Rambler Society Editor
A combination of a successful
career woman and an efficient wife
and mother is Mrs. Joann Langs-
ton, pert and pretty director of
student pubfications.
Although she is kept busy spon-
soring both the Rambler and the
TXWECO, she spends as much time
as she can with her two sons, Bob-
by, 5, and John David, 14 months.,
In fact as she puts it, "My plans j
for this summer are to stay home '
and have plenty of fun with my \
sons." A family outing hunting I
for rocks and fossils is also in- j
eluded in the Langstons' plans for j
the summer.
Early Interest in Journalism
Mrs. Langston's interest in jour- j
nalism began in Bowie High:
School where she worked on the1
Maroon and White. Her interest ■
heightened when she was society :
and feature editor of the Campus
Chat at North Texas State Col-1
lege.
After receiving her BS degree!
at North Texas State College, she i
continued her education at TWC:
where she received her M. Ed. de- !
gree in 1955.
"Although I prefer teaching to j
being a reporter on a newspaper," j
said hazel-eyed Mrs. Langston, "it i
pleases me to see my students get'
experience in newspaper work."
Mrs. Langston admits she works
better under pressure wh®n she
has a deadline to meet. That is one
reason she likes journalism, as
well as the fact that she thorough-
ly enjoys writing.
» Active Civic Life
Leading an active civic life, Mrs.
Langston is a member of Ameri-
can Association of University
Women, a member of Theta Sigma
Phi, National Council of College
Publications Advisors, the Junior

dent and corresponding secretary

being" a delegate to the national;
convention in Colorado Springs in
June of 1960.
Hobbies
Even with her busy schedule,
Mrs. Langston finds time to pur-
sue her hobbies of reading and
listening to records.
"I especially enjoy classical and
semi-classical music," Mrs. Lang- ast."
ston laughed, "but each time the "I also love to read and tell
phonograph is turned on, I have to jokes, but I am not so good at
compete with my five-year-old son telling them," Mrs. Langston ad-
who is a Christmas-carol enthusi- mitted.

TILL WE MEET AGAIN
This is the final column of my eighth year of writing for the
makers of Marlboro Cigarettes, and this year, as in every pre-
ceding year, when I come to the last column of the season, I
come to & problem.
My contract with the makers of Marlboro calls for me to
write a humor column and, truly, I do the best I can—all things
considered, I am not, I should explain, a jolly man by nature.
Why^^tl^ I be? First of all, Laig^shorter than everybody.-
Second, ther^ are moths in my cashmere jacket. Third, I work '
in telev^g&Ai . *
"All the saffie, when it comes time to write this column, I light
a good Marlboro Cigarette, put aside my trauma, and try with
all the strength in my tiny body to make some jokes. Some-
times it works better than others, but on the last column of the
year, it just flatly doesn't work at all.
Even in the very beginning this was true—and that, you will re-
call, wtl&eight years ago when I was relatively young and strong
and had not yet developed that nasty knock ip, my transmission.
Well do I remember sitting down to write the final column of my
first year. Day followed barren day, and not a yock, not a boff,
not a linger did I produce. I ras about to give up humor and
take a job selling mechanical dogs when all of a sudden, in a
blinding flash, I realized why I couldn't think of any jokes!
I leapt up from my typewriter and ran as fast as my little
fat legs would carry me to the makers of Marlboro Cigarettes,
and I tugged my forelock, and I said, "Sirs, I am well aware
that you have engaged me to write a humor column, but today,
as I approach the final column of the season, I am far too misty
to be funny, for the final column of the season is, after all, a
leave-taking, and when I think of saying goodbye to my audience
—the swellest audience any columnist ever had—the college
students of America—wonderful human beings, every man and
woman of them—wise but kindly—astute but compassionate—
perspicacioi^ut forbearing—when, sirs, I think of saying good-
bye to such an audience, I am too shook uneven to consider
levity, and so I ask you, sirs, to jetRje, in the final column
year, forego humor arid instead write^aTsTmple, dignified,
straightforward farewell."
Then I took out my bandanna, wiped my eyes, ears, nose, and
throat and waited for a reply from the makers of Marlboro.
They sat around the polished board room table, the makers,
their handsome brows knit in concentration, puffing thought-
fully on the Marlboros in their tattooed hands. At length they
spoke. "Yes," they said simply.
I never doubted they would say yes. People who make a
cigarette as good as Marlboro must themselves be good. People
who lavish such care on blending tobaccos so mild and flavor-
ful, on devising a filt,er„ so clean and white, on boxing a flip-top
boj? so, flip-top, on packing a soft paak so soft—people like that
are one hundred percent with me!
And so from that day forward, the final column of the year
—including the one you are, I devoutlj^ope, now reading-
makes no attempt to be funny, but is instead a simple thank
you and au revoir.
Thank you and au revoir, makers of Marlboro. The memory 1
of our eight years together will remain ever f^ggji in my heart,
and I \Vould like to state for all the world to hear that if you
want me back again next year, I shall expect a substantial
raise in salary.
Thank you and au revoir, college students of America. May
good luck attend all your ventures. Stay well. Stay happy.
Stay loose. @ 1962 Max shulman

Srngll Max has said it all. We, the makers of Marlboro Ciga-
rettes, can only add a heartfelt second chorus: Stay well.
Stay happy. Stay loose.
