HPC Is For The Young
And The Old Alike
BY VIRGINIA REYNOLDS
Men women children all
make Howard. Payne the college
where everybody is somebody.
From the oldest to the youngest
anil Howard Payne does have
some youngsters there is a place
for everyone.
Least known about the facili-
ties of Howard Payne is the day
nursery which offers services to
those student families who have
children. With both mothers and
fathers attending classes and
working the college realized the
need for a smallfry classroom.
The nursery located near the
Santa Fe on Grove Street was
the answer to the family's pray-
ers and the college's problem.
The nursery consisting of three
spacious rooms acts as a place
for the twenty children to stay
while the parents are in classes.
The children are supervised and
taught to get along with each
other while playing together.
The nursery welcomes obser-
vers and is one class in Howard
Payne that isn't interrupted by
noise of the Santa Fe.

Church has been organized by
the students of Professor Greer's
Religious Education 101 class in
their study of church organiza-
tion. After stating that the only way
to learn how was to do it Prof-
fessor Greer is having the class
operate as a church. The name
was adopted after recommenda-
tion by the Name Committee
despite the Professor's object-
ion. According to one member a
good old Baptist Conference
could be heard in session last
Thursday morning as the Arti-
cles of Faith were brought be-
fore the "church" for adoption.
The eighteen usual articles were
about to be accepted when one
member stood and recommended
that the ordinance of foot-washing
be added. At least half those

When asked his opinion of the
"church" Randy Reynolds re-

what we do in one class this
way. You can see mistakes and
problems that naturally arise and
learn proper methods of avoid-

the hope of transfering it t the
library building fund.
In a f.pcech in chapel last week
Dr. Taylor said that the Baptist
General Convention of Texas
through its co-operative program
cannot endow the colleges and
erect their buildings. Their own
friends must do that.
Dr. Taylor suggested that a
campaign be started to raise
money for the library building
and aalso for the proposed girls'
dormitory.. He said that special
gifts have already been given
from men in the state for these
causes.

Mission Band Play
Has Firs! Performance
TheVolunteor Mission Band
Play which is an annual project
of the Mission Banrtr will be pre-
sented for the fit jit time this year
at the First Baptist Church of
Menard November 20.
To be presented during the ev-
ening worship service this year's
play is "The Years Ahead" by El-
liott Field. It is a one-act play
with eight characters and it tells
the story of a young man's call
to go to the foreign fields as a
Missionary. The way in which he
reacts to this call and the man-
ner in which it affects his family
and his friends makes the plot of
the play.

to Menard will be: Pearl Shuf-
field sophomore from Liberty
Hill; June Sanders junior from
San Antonio; Nelda Hatcher se-
nior from Toler; Gene Tomlin
senior from Houston; and Grace
Ismonde freshman from San An-
tonio. Kenneth Brown sophomore
from San Antonio; Jimmy D.
Ladd freshman from Michigan;
and Robert Latham freshman
from Brownwood will also make
the trip.
Leland Turner assistant direct-
or of the play stated that "we
always like to go to Menard. This
is our third year to take the Mis-
sion Band play there and each
year we have received many
blessings. This also seems to be
the place where every thing hap-
pens to us. Last time the curtain
fell down we forgot some of the
lines aa candle burned through
the box it was sitting on and a
cot collapsed with one of our
'dead men' on it.
"For the last two years a baby
has dropped its bottle and the
bottle has rolled all the way to
the front of the auditorium right
in the middle of one of the most
serious scenes of the play. But
we have always recovered and
we are oagerly looking forward
to this trip."
