YELLOW JACKET
April 1 1043
Starlets Revealed
As Sub-Duers
Tho most noble and grand organiz
ation on the campus is the immortal
or immoral) group of co-eds tagged
as the Sub-Duers.
The renown to be Sub-ducrs have
been masquerading all of their good
deeds under the name of the Star-
lettcs in order to keep their secret
organization a secret organization
but honest and truly it was the Sub-
ducrs all the time.
The You-Know-Whats' have been
the little group of mother's helpers
who have started so many of the last-
ing romances during this year. Their
weekly tea parties have been the
source of inspiration and admiration
to many other females on the campus.
These little helpers have hindered
many a courtln' couple by turning out
the dlttcrs on the Scicnco hall and the
Mlms building so they couldn't see
how to court.
They have put bunches of benches
on the campus in memory of two of
their departed members (glory to
their name) In hopes that future
scholastlcally inclined scholars muy
have as much fun and foolishness as
the Sub-duets did not have.
A record to be boasted of Is that
all the seven present members made
the honor roll that Is all except
Bernlce (see Mr. Hicks for details)
Sudle (ditto Miss Haskew) Mildred
Pill (Doc Davis Responsible) Nolle
(gone batty over bugs) and Betty
M. (censored). Moral there ain't
none except two and they won't let
us write about our selves.
They also had a basketball team
under the name of the Starlets thus
called because they were all stars.
Applications for membership in this
elite organization may be submitted
to the presidents just cither of the
seven. Although qualifications arc
high three may raise themselves to
the standards as the constitution calls
for ten members.
Any member must be at least two
feet high and not more than five feet
wide (necessary to lot Pill in). She
cannot have more than two cork legs
and three glass eyes.
For further details sec the club
in action.
New Boy's Dorm

Today April 1 1943 is a great day
at Howard Payne because it marks
formal opening of the spacious new
boys' dormitory Rushing Home that

past fourteen months.
Open house will be held today for
those interested in seeing the build'
ing before the students move in and
take possession.
The building has been erected on
the site originally occupied by the
Barn. The long awaited building

turo erected on any Texas college
campus in the past year and is prob
ably the best on any college campus

large enough to accomodate all the
Howard Payne boys.
The ultra-modern four-story brick

mitory interior by an expert interior
decorator Mickey Bradford. Tho pub-
lic rooms aro arranged and fur-
nished to suit mascullno tastes. They
aro comfortable and extremely homey.

A senior at college named Beeze
Weighed down by B.B.'s and M. Deeze
Collapsed from tho strain
Said the doctor 'tis plain
You're dying by degrees.
Evans Heads Honor
Roll For Semester
Dean Z. T. Huff announces the hon
or roll for tho spring semester of
1943 of seven students. Dr. Huff ex-
presses his definite joy that so many
students arc taking an interest in their
school work and have raised them-
selves up above the mass by putting
themselves in the upper strata of the
students.
This semester tho honor roll has In-
creased by four students which brings
tho number up to .000 i percent of
the whole student body or the total
number of seven students.
Tho barn has most inhabitants on
the roll.
Henry L. Evans Jr. leads the list
with 47 honor points (minus three
points for chapel cuts.) When inter-
viewed Henry's only statement was
"I docd it."
Audrey Williams holds second place
on tho honored list with the astond-
ing total 42 points. Her statement
to the press was "Whew."
Arnctl Weeks made 39 points
which puts him in third pace. The
reporter was unable to get a statement
from Weeks as he was sleeping so
soundly that he could not be awak
ened (meaning Weeks is sleeping and
not the reporter)
Dale Baglcy took his usual stand
on the list with 30 points. Baglcy
said "Not that I'm bragging exactly
but I'm not at all surprised."
Avery Algood was the third high
est barn member to make the dean's
list with 31 honor points. Monk's
statements cannot be printed due to
government restrictions on military
secrets.
Betty Kelly made 35 honor points:
I contribute nil my success to Jug."
quoth she.
Bruce Saunders barely oochcu over
the lino by making 30 honor points.
For the occasion he wrote this epistle
"It's just my natural good looks
and my way with the teachers and
the girls In general that helped me
make it. I couldn't expect anything
less than I made as I thoroughly de-
serve it because I really am a smart
boy. Just so handsome that anyone
who knows me couldn't help from lov-
ing me. By the way if any of you
uppcrclassmcn want my pattern for
success just let me know cause I'm
a good guy who hasn't let my success
go to my head."
HUFF SPONSORS
(Continued from Page 1)
ous publications of former Howard
Payne students such as "How to Cnrc
for Children" by Clarence and Frank
Fisher; "The Value of Marriage" by
Pete Owens. Two copies of each
book will be in circulation all the
time.
The auditorium will be about twice
as large as the present Mims build-
ing. No class rooms will bo in the
four-story building and the Lasso
and Yellow Jacket will each have a
floor for their spacious offices and
equipment. Tho first floor will con-
tain two thousand seats and a stage
35x50 feet. The curtains will be
electrically controlled and there will
bo two huge dressing rooms on either
side of the stage The second floor
will also have nbout two thousand
fciitH so much for that.
Howard Payne Hall will be ono of
tho most modern structures of the
country and will offer to girls all
tho conveniences of home. There
will be five floors with tho first floor
given over to parlors dining room
and offices. The floors will bo con-
structed of cement so tho dean can-
not hear anyone walking around after
lights out. Portable ladders will be
furnished each room instead of the
old squeaking fire-escapes. They are
too dangerous ound-proof rooms
will be somewhat larger than the old
ones. The rooms will bo furnished
with thick rugs modern furniture
poi table combination radio and rec-
ord players. Venetian blinds will re-
place tho old shades. There will bo
small soft drink bars in each room.
For convenience of the girls one sldo
of each room will bo completely mir-
rored. Also prlvato telephones will
be put In each room.
Tho Science hall will bo ono of the
best equipped in tho United States.
There will bo ono floor for each class
room and its laboratory. Many now
specimens will bo added to the collec-
tion that the school now has. Ono of
tho greatest advantages of tho build-
ing program will bo the contrsuctlng
of particularly cozy courting places.
This should meet with tho approval of
tho entire student body.
All lights on the campus will be
furnished with shades so that tho
bright beams will not hurt tho eyes of
anyone who happens to look at them.

Boys Band Together;
Adopt Little Brother
The athletes of the Barn and the
ministers and otherwise of Todd hall
have banded together to form an
organization similar to the "Urban-
ltcs" a group of town girls. Tho
Barn and Todd hall plan to adopt 'a
little brother from a Camp Bowie who
they invite to spend tho night with
them and cat meals at the dormi-
tory. This should prove to be quite
a change for the lonesome soldiers
especially the homje-cooked meals
served at the domltory.
Tho boys settled on this plan be-
cause of tho sympathy they have for
the boys In service. They atao feel
as If the boys havo been left out of
the activities of Howaul Payne more
than Is right.
Tho Barn boys have promised to
give up their aturday dates with
their steadies so that the soldiers
might have their morale raised.
Todd hall has been debating on this
question but not yet reached a ver-
dict. Here are some comments on the
formation of this club:
Martin Holtcr: Although I am in
the Marine Reserves I feci that
nothing Is too good for the Boy
Scouts of Camp Bowie.
Julio Hinton: The more competi
tion they give me with Bobble Ruth
tho better I'll like it.
Moose Borchctt: If Henrietta likes
soldiers and I think she does more
power to them.
Bill Haralson: I'm in favor of this
club because I'll soon be in the
army myself.
Lamar Lewis: Just as I get en-
gaged they want to share our
women.
George Casey: I shall pray for the
members of this society.
Ishmael McNeill: I hope they don't
prefer tall brunettes wearing soli-
taires on third finger left hand.
Jack Massey: I guess I'm outnum-
bered but I have enough trouble
with soldiers anyway don't I Dor-
fothy?
Tony Pay ton: It really doesn't
matter to me as girls are tho least
of my worries If the boys get any
pleasure out of It why not?
Al Gray: I've had enough trouble
getting Gcrt to keep her mind made
up Why should I throw her to
some khaki-clad wolf?
Mass Wedding Unites
