Ramblin' Round
WITH CRAWFORD
With talk around the campus
of a new student union building
and with the construction of the
new rodeo arena, things are really
happening around the forty acres.
It seems that if one thing isn't
happening, another is.
Speaking of surprises, we really
got one when we heard of the
resignation of Dr. Arthur Travis
from the H-SU Bible department.
We sure hate to see him co. Mr.
Clyde Campbell, who is taking his
place, received his B. A. from
H-SU in 1939 and his M. A. in
1942.
We received a letter from
Loraine Sneath, '30, recently. She
is librarian of St. Vincent's Col-
lege of Nursing. She received
her M. A. from the University of
Denver and next year hopes to
begin study on a Ph.D. in educa-
tion at the University of Cali-
fornia.
Lillie Mae Houston, '47, has
recently been appointed as South-
western Regional Home Econom-
ist of International Harvester Co.,
with headquarters in Chicago.
She is the former Sweetwater
District Home Economist and will
be replaced in that position by
Ruth Josey, also an H-SU ex.
There were quite a few exes on
the campus during the Y. W. A.
houseparty, March 17 and 18.
among them were the following:
Charlene Jones, '46, tells us
that she is teaching the first
grade at De Leon Public Schools.
Lois Rogge, '48, says that she
really enjoys her work as young
people's worker and secretary to
the pastor at Coggin Avenue Bap-
tist Church in Brownwood. Lois
has a sister, Mildred, who is a
junior at H-SU and another,
Vivian, who will be here in a
couple of years.
Miss Maye Belle Taylor, mis-
sionary to Brazil was on thf
campus during the party. She is
an ex of 1929 and teacher in
Baptist girls College and enjoys
it immensely.
We heard that J. B. Lawson.
'32, has resigned as superintend-
lJt of the Rule schools. He has
been with the Rule system since
