Interest In basketball games
seems to mount each week. Big
promoters-" of School spirit have
been some members of the Fish
class tVfiilt have made and paid for
pom-poms for the games. We have
a sneaking suspicion that CAROL
BUCK is the girl behind the scenes
that is exerting .time and energy to
see that more school spirit is
aroused.
While most of us have been just
enduring the last week of school,
t>
one person on the campus has
been doing her best to see that all
of us stay healthy and well during
the last days. BONNIE MAR-
SHALL, TWC's nurse at the in-
firmary, has had her' hands full
during the past two weeks- with
everything from the common cold
to "shooting" people with penicil-
0a. :}
As I try to bring this to £ close
with a cheerful Christmas wish, I
just can't seem to get inspired in
this cold, dreary News Bureau.
Here seems to be one spot that
Christmas just didn't touch. Why,
there's no holly wreath on the
door, no Yule tree with shimmer-
ing lights and bedecked with gifts,
no mistletoe hanging from the
rafters, not even a jolly Santa
Claus, in life or picture, to wish
our visitors a Merry Christmas,
nor is there even a manger scene.
My, it seems as though we just
missed the boat didn't we? And
yet, this must be exactly the pic-
ture to millions of peoples less for-
tunate than us. w
May this holiday season and the
coming new year bring much hap-
piness, peace, and friendship' to
each of my readers!
A MERRY "ONCE OVER" TO

Conditt's Classes
In Psychology
Witness Emotions
"Nurse Atwell take the organ-
ism's heart rate. Doctor Gregory
take the organism's pulse rate.
Nurse Podell check its tempera-
ture."
What hospital is this? Are they
going to operate? wNo, it's only
pr. Conditt's psychology 321 class
in the midst of their study of emo-
tion last week.
Dr. Conditt looked up from the
beginning of his usual lecture as
John Tucker came in late. He told
Mr. Tucker to come up to the
front where he seated him facing
the wall. Thinking this was his
punishment for being late, Tucker,
picked up his book in anticipation
of some questions. But Dr. Con-
ditt surprised everyone by starting
into this organism routine.
After the organism's pulse, heart,
and temperature had been checked
he was blindfolded and chained.
Then O. L. Heath pretended to cut
his hair with clippers and scissors
that Dr. Conditt provided. After
giving Mr. Tucker the impression
that he was going to be electro-
cuted Dr. Condit had his pulse,
heart, and temperature checked
again and then he was marched off
to the electric chair.
Mr. Tucker was then brought
back into the room and the class
discussed the emotions that he had
experienced. Tucker admitted to
being curious as to what was go-
ing oh but said he had too much,
faith in the class to be scared.
Dr. Conditt performed this ex-
periment in each of his classes on
equally unsuspecting victims that
came in late.

Will Green Caps Prevail?
Soph President Takes Issue
With Article by Freshman
BY JOHN ED FRANCIS
To the author of the article
"Freshman "Topper Status Just
Isn't" in the December 9 issue.
Was the article a criticism of the.
freshman's attitude on the cam-
pus or a slam to the Sophomore
class? If the latter was intende^l,
let's look the situation over once
more.
In reference to the article that
was written, which I feel endea-
vored to slam the Sophomore
class, let me give you, the fresh-
man, and the reader, a few other
ideas on this matter. On my first
day at TWC as a sophomore, I
was very enthusiastic when I saw
the size and looks of the group in
Freshman Orientation. I felt sure
they would have a good class and
a class that would really cooper-
ate and contribute a lot to our
schopl. But quite often I feel that
some "'things they do is for sole
recognition of their clas and not
in cooperation with the others.
Let's elaborate on some of the
statements made by Cyrus in his
article of December the ninth. In
the very first paragraph he stated
that when he got his cap he was
requested to leave it on until April.
I quote the second i^aie of the
freshman rules, "Freshmen will
jvear fish caps at all times, except
on Sunday, until the Rams "win
their first ball game, and to every
game thereafter." I wonder, were
the rules read? I hardly feel one
can say that the sophomores fell
down on their job in making the
"Fish" wear the caps. These rules
-tr . ai-
were given, and "Fish" were ex-
pected to carry them out; they
were not forced down them like
spinach down a reluctant child.
During the initiation I had many
complaints from sophomores, say-
ing they had no luck in making the
fish wear caps, they just wouldn't
cooperate. I, myself, got after
them time after time to make
them wear their caps. One girl in
reply said her little brother was
wearing it. When asked that she
get it from him and put it on, she
replied, "I can't make him do any-
thing." If she can't make her
little brother do anything I wonder
how much luck she will have in
making next year's fish follow her
instructions when they are older
and even more set in their ways
than her younger brother.
Cyrus said that next year they
were going to have a good sopho-
more class. Yet, in connection with
the quote made, "When in Rome
do as the Romans," the next year
freshman class will do that exact-
ly, for they also may say let's do
as the Romans did.

To you and yours, this Christmas
season, we extend our sincere wishes
for happiness that will long outlast the
tinsel and the tree . , . and live on in
your hearts through all the days and
years to come.
POLY BAPTIST
The main thing is, that when the
sophomores took over the initia-
they expected no more ilrom the
"Fish" than what they had to do.
They did wear their caps! After
we had made the rules wo hoped
they would be fulfilled, but on the
whole they weren't and after so
much pleading and finding no co-
operation, the fun and meaning of
the word 'initiation' was lost. This
may acocunt for the disappearance
of the "green heads." I wonder if,
when a teacher gives a freshman
an assignment, he expects the
teacher to force him to the com-
pletion of the assignment? There-
fore I don't see how it can be said
that the sophomores fell down on
their job when it was the freshmen
who failed to do their part.
Another point, when I am unable
to go to a ball game I can't expect
my sopfyjmores to go and show
much school spirit. So can't we
expect the fish to wear their caps
during initiation to a ball game
when their own picked- leader wont
wear his.
Then there are the fa^hful few
who tried to keep the campus
green with fish caps. Those are
the ones who got the most out of
the "Handicap." The others can't
understand, because they have
never experienced it. By not par-
ticipating they have sapped the life
from some of the fondest memories
of school life.
I am sure the freshmen will have
a good sophomore class next year
just like they have had a good class
this year. Alsp I am sure the fresh-
men next year will remember them
for a long time just as we will re-
member the present freshmen as
friends we have made in fun and
fellowship, love and war, here on
OUR TWC campus.

News In Fashions Found
In Mademoiselle Issue
This month's^-Mademoiselle has
the news in party fashions. This
Christmas you'll be seeing and
wearing prettier party dresses.
The first and newest shift to
pure prettiness^1 and feminity in
party dresses wlll.be reflected in
the new Taxi Length. While the
length in actual inches—0?fll vary
slightly wijhi the height of the
wearer, ten inches"from the floor
is generally accepted. , This is
longer than ballerina, shorter than
ankle length. It's a pretty length
first and foremost; but it is also
the length that dances divinely,
packs easily, and pours in and out
of cars with ease and grace.
The revival of moire in pale
colors reflects • the gay holiday
spirit. Because of the elegance
of moire, dresses made of the fab-
ric generally can go in for great
simplicity.
December Mademoiselle has
more good news " to report, too.
The "Spanish Idea" has taken hold
of the American imagination. Fan-
dango ruffles, heavy Spanish-look-
ing lace, jet embroidery, vivid
Spanish colors all are going to be
familiar and pretty sights at par-
ties from Boston to LA. Perhaps
the most^Spanish and most beauti-
ful of all dresses is the Taxi-
length white lace dress that has a
long sinuous torso line, then row
upon row of ruffles from hipline
to hem. As perfect for an Ameri-
can rhumba as it ever was for a
Latin one!
Library Display
Is In Keeping
With Christmas
o
In keeping with the spirit of the
Reason, the library now has a
Christmas display.
Carrying the Christmas theme,
"Peace on Earth, Good Will To-
ward Men," the display was con-
structed by^ James Dunn, Carolyn
Rich, Bobbib' Hardwick, Jeanette
Quarrels, Cleta Pearl Mason and
Peggy Warren, reported Mrs. Mer-
rie Bostick Fields, librarian.

Now that the "Messiah" is over,
we can all breathe easily again.
The chorus gave commendable
though well-worn performance to
this work. The soloists, John Ed
Francis, tenor; Vera Ruth Jack,
alto;^ Marjorie Murphy, soprano,
and William Barney, bass gave
some of the best renditions of their
respective careers.

The SAI's and Phi Mu Alpha's
spent an enjoyable evening Satur-
day at their annual Christmas.
They decorated the big Christmas
Tree that stands at the entrance
of the auditorium then exchanged
toys that, later were given to one
of the worthy children's centers in
Fort Worth.

Pharmaceutical Club at the Hilton
Hotel. The program presented
was an arrangement of "Silent
Night" and "White Christmas," for
violin, \feiee, and piano, and an ar-
rangement of "6 Holy Night."
The same program was present-
ed again Thursday for the South
Side Lions Club.
♦ ♦ *
Louise Terry, senior violinist;
Richard Ferrin, and Paul Skinner,
TWC faculty, made a trip to
Wichita Falls Monday to perform
with the Wichita Falls Symphony
Orchestra. The programs present-
ed were a children's concert in the
afternoon and a formal concert
Monday night at Sheppard Field.
« ♦ ♦
The same double quartet that
sang at the down town Christmas
Tree will sing a group of Carols
for Mrs. Roberts at All Saints Hos-
pital in Fort Worth. Mrs.' Roberts
is a very generous doner to Texas
Wesleyan.
* * *
Believe it or not . . . The Wes-
leyan Singers will present a portion
of the "Messiah" at our sister col-
lege in the city, TCU.

Fine Arts students are being
privileged to see a couple of—free
movies these days. Danny Harris,
senior, took some movies at the
beginning of the year with his own
little camera. Now he is letting
everyone see what potentialities
they have as a future movie queen
or king. Those making the biggest
hit are Sue Knowles and Mr. Car-
riken. There is also one little
puppy who shows great dramatic
ability.
