HERE'S YOUR CHANCE AIR IT OUT
"I may not agree with everything you say but I will de-
fend to the end your right to say it." (Voltair)
It was just with such quotations as this that our America
as we know it today was founded. Our forefathers must have
had many disagreements and arguments but they somehow
managed to smooth things over and settle the country. Per-
haps it was that they depended on God to lead and direct
them. If we would allow Him to direct us in everything that
we do we would not have so many divisions on this campus.
Somehow I feel that each of us is trying to let God direct
his life. It's just that some of us think that God is not direct-
ing the other person's life the right way. None of us can tell
how God is leading some other person. It would be well for
each of us to concentrate on finding God's will for our own
life rather than worrying about the other person and looking
for something unchristian in his life
Each of us has the right to say what he thinks. Of course
everyone will not agree. That is not to be expected on a
campus this size. That is too much to hope for. Each of us
has the right to express his own thoughts. Some of us are
luckier than others since we have an outlet of thoughts in
the "Yellow Jacket."
Do not think that everything in this paper is the thoughts
of your editor. That is not so. Everyone who writes anything
is merely giving his thoughts concerning that certain incident
and we just give him a chance to put it on paper.
Certainly we do not wish to offend anyone by anything
that is said. " Our purpose is to write a paper that will please
the majority rather than the minority.
Just as the staff members have the right to express their
thoughts YOU are no exception. If ever there is anything
displeasing to you don't be afraid to say so. It is your demo-i
rratir ripht to sav what vou nlease on this campus. As we I
have said before'"! may not agree with everything you have!
to say but I will defend to the end your right to say it.
WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT HOWARD PAYNE?
Has anyone ever asked you what is really good about
Howard Payne? Did you have a good answer to give them?
If you've ever looked around you you had an answer.
" I think the first thing anyone notices about H.P.C. is its
friendliness. Our motto "The college where everybody is
somebody" is really true here. No matter how little or small
you are you are a bona fide student here and that means you
are one of the "family." Even the first day you come to
school vou feel right at home. I remember one little scared
freshman who had never been away from home. She came
to a strange school where she had never been before not
knowing anyone or anything. Needless to say she was "scar-
ed stiff." Picture in vour minds now this poor little scared
girl as she walks up the steps of Howard Payne Hall for the
first time carrying two suitcases and several boxes bv her-
self. She walked in the door not knowing exactlv what to
do next. One of the other new students already full of How-
ard Pavne spirit took her bags showed her to her room and
taught her the ropes. That is H.P.C. friendliness.
Another characteristic trait of Howard Payne is its good
times and fellowship. Howard Payne students have fun no
matter where thov go. You can tell one of our students a mile
off because nearly always he is pulling some foolish stunt
telling a joke or laughing at someone's else. Good clean fun
is one of the outstanding things on our campus.
One of the first things freshmen hear about Howard
Pavne is "if you don't get married here vou haven't got a
chance." That perhaps is another good thing about H.P.C.
Girls can come hero with the hope and almost the surety that
they will meet "the one" for them here.
' No kidding bovs and girls do have sweet fellowship and
meet fine companions here. Could it be that we have a larg-
er brighter moon than anyone else? Or maybe it is because
this is the campus where poetry blooms in the form of our
friend John. He is another of our favorite marks of H.P.C.
It is not very likely that there is another like him anywhere.
Last but not least Howard Payne has some of the finest
teachers found anywhere. Not only are they good in their
different teaching fields but they are good in understanding
and interest in their students. This kind of teachers can't be
beat.
There are many other qualities which make Howard
Payne extra special but these are a few of the best.
Cathedral Chimes
"If you want to stay young
run with the young people; if you
want to die young try to keep up
with them." So someone has ex-
pressed the thoughts of many re-
garding youth the so-called prime
of life.
Let's face it. We the modern
youth are marked. We are cata-
logued as delinquents included
with the reckless and fancy-free
pin-pointed as having no sense of
responsibility or purpose and
destined to a shiftless undepend-
able existence. Whether we like
it or not because of a few who
have not learned to live with
themselves with one another and
with God we are marked. Wheth-
er such accusations are true or
false we have a bad reputation.
Now what can be done to a-
right either the misconceived
ideas of society or the misguided
lives of youth? This is a question
our age must answer. Ecclesiastes
12:1 says "Remember NOW thy
Creator in the days of thy
YOUTH." Much depends there-
fore on our concept of God of
His ultimate and divine purpose
and of our relationship with Him.
Shelley the English poet believ-
ed God was not a personal being
but a fountain which flowed out
into every object and living thing
and that man could be his own
saviour. And Percy Shelley died
at an early age confused disillus-
ioned unhappy still trying to
find his ideal of love.
On the other hand Joseph the
son of Jacob remembered the
Creator and His purpose and be-
came next in power to the Phara-
oh of Egypt and the best loved
leader of his day. While still a
shepherd boy David was annoint-
ed by Samuel. Daniel as a young
man faced a den of lions for his
conviction and stand for the Lord.
These last three men1 did not
know the despair and heartbreak
of Shelley but a peace and con-
tentment of divine approval.
What was the difference? God
and their relation to Him. The
times of our world have come to
the point where we must now
without delay recover our repu-
tation of upright clean whole-
some Christian living. God doesn't
promise success in our business
or school but He does give peace
a pure conscience and a hope in
our lives and experience. We of
America must lead the youth of
the world pagan Jew Hindu
Moslem Animist or Hottentot
to Christ or to a world crisis. We
of Howard Payne College must
lead American youth to remember
God and cleave to His word and
will or to forget Him altogether.
What will it be.
I Timothy 4:12
TRADITIONS
By Bob Stokes
Through the years time chang-
es things. As new students come
new ideals invade the campus. So
go the traditions. Once when one
had a birthday songs were sung
to him. Then came the tradition
of singing "Happy Birthday" to
(Oyster. Before each basketball
game this old favorite was sung
as often as the Alma Mater or
"That Good Old Howard Payne
Line." Now after a few years it
is just "Rocks" and don't ask me
where that originated!
Another tradition that has
changed and possibly for the bet-
ter is that of "Freshman Night."
Ask anyone of the sophomores or
upper-classmen and they can tell
the whole story from start to fin
ish. Now that it is in the past we
(the sophomores) can jokingly
tell how we were caught and how
we got the "hair-cut" and the
"walk" back to town. Yea tradi-
tion can start out good and end
in disappointment and disaster.
There is another tradition which
helped found H. P. C. That is
Christian love and fellowship.
This tradition must not fail. If it
fails H.P.C. has failed and
Christian students have failed.
Students don't let it be said
of us that we did not uphold the
friendly traditions of H. P. C. and
above all that we failed Christ
in our daily living. Christ has no
place in His Kingdom's work for
so-called cliques. It makes no dif-
ference what our major is we
