Dean J. Thomas Davis,
Stephenville, Texas,
Dear Dean"Davis: There is a
young man here who seems very
.interested in Tarleton from what
I have been able to tell him about
the school, and T cannot do it
justice I am sure. I only wish I
could, iell some of 1 these East
Texas boys and girls what a good
College in. every respect I found
Tarleton .to be. but of course the
Other fellow just imagines you
think your college is the best. But
he has asked me to write you and
find out if there is any way pos-
sible for him to work his way
through school. I told him there
were many who worked their way
through, and that the boy, or girl
who wanted to work was given
every consideration possible. (I
also, told him of that talk you
gave us in chapel one morning
about what the name of the in-
stitution stood for.) He-is very
interested, Dean Davis, and he
would surely appreciate it if you
would let him know as soon as
possible if there is any opportun-
ity for him to work his way thru.
I also told him I thought there
was a loan fund, but I did not
know the particulars. I would
surely like to see him go there
this year, then he would be able
to make some of these young men
.here realize what a fine school
Tarleton is and how they would
be satisfied there.
I surely hope this year is a plea-
sant one, and I want Tarleton to
forget the word "Alexander".
They must get the championship.
I will miss being there but I will
at least pay it a visit. I'll be wait-
ing to hear some of the famous
voices over the radio and I have
simply canceled the Dallas News.
I search thru the Star-Telegram
daily. Good luck to Tarleton.

THE PUBLIC SPEAKING
DEPARTMENT GROWING
Miss Lillie' V. Liilard, teacher
of public speaking and expression,
'has enrolled a large number of
! students in her department and
the prospects for new ones is
'promising. Miss Liilard, who
comes to Stephenville from Arl-
ington, where she has made her
| home for the past two years, havr
ing taught in the Arlington public
schools, is an ex-student of S. M.
! U.,, Dallas, and of the Boston
School of Expression, and is a
member of the Zeta Phi Eta, nati-
'onal oratorical; fraternity. We
'wish her a successful and happy
'year's work in John Tarleton.
SCRIMMAGE STARTS
ON HAYS FIELD
FAIR NOTES
That old fire wagpg^may look
old now but it used to get there
just the. same. I wonder though,
if the whistle belonged to it then.
That market float is presenting
the Cadets with,'weinies. But
their captain doesn't see the point
and warns them to stay in ranks.
Coach Pen a allowed his men to
scrimmage for the first time Fri-
day afternoon. The boys were
eager to go and the result was
many bruises. The only injury of
any seriousness, however, was to
Bob Ziegler of Gatesville. He re-
ceived a cut over his left eye that
required three stitches to close.
The huskies scrimmage every
afternoon at Hays Field and are
rapidly rounding into shape . for
the game Saturday with Clifton.
Fight 'em gang!
TARLETON EXHIBIT GOES
TO AUSTIN STATE FAIR
Prof. E. A. Funkhouser, head
of the department of manual arts,
left "last week with a carload of
exhibits from the raanuai arts de-
partment to be shown at the Aus-
tin State Fair. The exhibit in-
cludes a living room suite of ma-
hogany from the wood shop, and
shop and lathe products'.
Mr. Funkhouser took with him
Perry Jones and Joe Kraemer to
help arrange the exhibit. Jones
will remain with the exhibit dur-
ing the Fair and will crate it'and
send it to the. Dallas State Fair.
FORMER STUDENT AND
BABY VISIT COLLEGE
That puncher with the green
shirt is John Goodwin from Cad-
do, He is big hearted and a good
rider but the ,thing you remem-
ber about John is his yell. It
would be worth millions to a pep
squad.
Fat Carter and Red Downing
have been on the Ferris wheel
for an hour. Fat seems quite lov-
ing. Why the umbrella? The
wheel seems quite popular to
Cadets With co-eds., Why do they
rock the seats?
"Mrs. K, A, iJi'OWii, of Desae-
mona, formerly Miss Pollye Will-
iams, was a visitor at chapel Sat-
urday morning. She had with her
her four-months-old daughter,
whom she said she had come to
enter as a student in the home
economics department. The little
Miss seemed to know naturally
just how to act in Tarleton; for
when Mrs. Chamberlin took her
on the stage and presented her as
a Tarleton baby, she behaved
beautifully, as if being in school
were a very commonplace thing.
Pollye says that she cannot es-
timate the value that. her home
economics training has proved to
her since she has been a home-
maker.
Capt. Harris has just "Blueyed"
for an aluminum coffee percola-
tor. The game is played with a
cardboard with numbers and
grains of corn. When a number
is called a grain is placed on it.
The first player who gets five
grains in a row "Blueys." Its
quite fascinating.

OF THE COLLEGE:
We welcome you to our city and we are here
to serve and please you.

ters when in town, ; j

Miss Jewell Wurtzbaugh, asso-
ciate professor of English, has
been ill the past .week at the home
of Mrs. Thompson. But she was
improved enough to appear on the
campus, Tuesday.
The Height of Absentmindedness
It is said that one of our pro
fessors came in latejr than usual
one night. He heard someone try,
ing to open the front door of his
|home. He shot at himself three
| times thinking that he was
burglar.
Co-ed: "What is Bill Kay sing-
ing?"
Cadet: "I Call My Girl 'Re-
venge' Because She 1$ So Sweet.
The Whole Family
A Texas lady was putting her
children to bed early, so as to be
free to entertain expected evening
visitors. "All the little chickens
have gone to sleep said the moth-
er arranging the cover over her
3-year-old daughter.
"Yes," replied the small child,
"and the old hen has gone to sleep
with them."
The Real Question
Wife: "Do you know that you
haven't kissed me for six weeks?"
Prof, (who is absent minded):
"Good heavens, who have I been
kissing then?"
