THE TARLETON OF THE FUTURE
We who love Tarleton all think of her future. But in whose hands
does its future lie? The Seniors have done their best, and will soon
be gone. They ha ve done a great deal. But we, the Freshmen, shall
be allowed to watch Tarleton grow for the nest four years. We shall
see the new Chemistry, Chapel and boys dormitory buildings that will
some day be a part of a greater Tarleton,
From our clans will come the leaders of the ten companies of cadets
that Tarleton will have in 1928. And, in being here for four years,
we have the opportunity to help Tarleton develop into the great col-
lege that it will Home day be. We thank you, who have built the Tar-
leton of today; ours is the responsibility of the Tarleton of tomorrow.
THE TIME IS DRAWING NEAR
<S* '
In just a few more weeks we will all go home, some will be glad but
others won't,
When we come to Tarleton "t,he" is just "Tarleton" to us, but be-
we leave we learn to love "her" and the name then is "Dear Old
Tat'le Stiii," • '
We, the Freshmen, are hoping- and depending on the upperclas.s-
nu n, it,- gu wui into tile world and by the'.v cha rafter s«t'- u 'Sample
• <k us to follow. 1 ,
In just u few years we will foe in the Senior shotw,.apd bear their
responsibility. When tiiia .time. conn1:-; we are going to do as our
_ upparclassmeii himT'tfoiie, and if it is within our ,power we will even
' «'•> better than -they have done, not for our sals.e,but for tbc sake of
our upperelassiiien and moat of all, "Dear Old Tarleton."
SOMEONE,HAS SAID , *' ,•
"We never .know the true value of friends. While they are
with in-;, \ve are only sensitive of' their faulty; when we liavv
.1 oyt them, we only see their virtue*." Jtfuw many of us have ever
thought of the truthfulness of this statement? How many of us
have realized what this statement means to us as Tarleton students?
If you have not though? along this line you will probably do so about
May 27, 1925. We are gathered together from far and near points
for the out* great purpose—that of training and broadening' our un-
developed minds for the great task of serving mankind. Then who
should be discontented, unhappy, selfish, and unappreciative of the
friends we make as we go about our daily tasks? Never again will
this same student body be assembled at Tarleton. Our Grassburrs
will be tile only assembly we can ever see of Tarleton for the great
year of '24~'25. Then, fellow students and faculty, why .not make
the remaining six weeks the most delightful and beneficial period that
our great institution has ever, or can ever, witness? A smile from
friend to friend will help to make this old campus more beautiful,
more pleasant, and more dear to us all a« we near the end of a perfect
and never-to-be-forgotten, year at Tarleton.
STAFF NOTICE
The staff gave one of the most for-
mal parades that1 haw ever been given
in the history of John Tarleton. The
make up drill had the honor of hav-
ing passed in review for the staff this
year. Then as appreciation to them
the staff gave one of the best reviews
of its kind. The staff is composed of
such honorable men as: Hodge, Davis,
Coffmati, and Cowart,
The crowd was far above par for
such a great staff to put on for the in-
stitution. The field captain did great;
work in keeping down order and help-
ing: in every way for the occasion'^to
1 be one of the best success. If any one
wishing to join the staff see either of
the above named for further infor-
mation.
' NEW MEMBERS
FLOWERS
Do you ever think for the flowers that
bloom
For us along the way?
Do you ever wonder if they could talk,
What message they would say?
Oh, see the roses blush,
And the others dance with laughter!
Perhaps they have some secret of joy
They think that we are after.
Beautiful, beautiful flowers!
What joys they must know,
To scatter so much beauty,
As hi the wind they blow,
Oh, wonderful messengers of nature!
What gladness they impart.
They are worth their weight in gold
To our overburdened heart.
A couple of critics sat under a tree
Friends and otherwise looking to
"see ~
And watching the gang coming up
late to classes,
Made comments—some taffy and
some molasses.
Here comes Elna Faye (of course
Hubby in behind)
A tenth of her brains and the rest
just pure "line."
Close behind comes Clara Sue in
a pose so dramatic
(Her mirror can tell us she is al-
ways at it!)
There is Roy Ward so sleek and
so lacking in hair
Aw, be yourself, kid, and show us
what's there!
Eugenia hops along as light as a
fairy,
But we've seen her "unbalanced"
and even quite airy.
Joe Ray, we've heard, got into the
Press;
The result and the reason we nev-
er could guess!
You've heard the sad story, "Are
you fat in spots?"
The conceit of some folks is too
much to define.
Francis thinks she has art on a
bus.
Will some one please tell her she's
jiist one of us?
Next Miss McKimmey aspires to
look the wise part,
But don't let her fool you; she
isn't so smart.
Abbie Joe's manner becomes him
alone;
Wayne had better find one of his
own.
And here comes Essie, chuck full
of slang
Her shop girl vernacular could
down any gang.
Now Mattie B, claims to be such
a heart waver
But she dots Margaret in the line
of "Jife-saver."
Ardis, who was thought to be,
clever,
Said the boys when they heard
it, "Good gracious, no never!"
To say Paul's a Fish is of no avail,
i He thinks- evidently that he is a
1 whale. • ■
j This Is to a girl who is "named-
Mae, .
Are you always siire you act like
yoii oughter? Say?
Louise M. is everyone's .friend by
heck
But she has a knife ready for some
one's neck!
Itacheal puts on a sweet, modest
"ir,
But we're told she's quite proud of
all that red hair.
We think this is a hand book,. no
its the Honorary Major
Who Captain Harris would bet on
in a wager,
! Eva W. might think of her lovl.i-
rsessless - ' .
If she knew she ran fourth in the
beauty contest.
Miss Looney names pep and good
will as her baits
But we dare not explain all every-
night dates.
And that Hill girl thinks she got
a swell figger,
Well, we thought it passin' before
it got bigger.
Miss PrisCella McKenan to a
dance she did go
By a clever maneuver she got her
a beau!
Well; a couple of critics sat under
a tree;
And this isn't all fable—between
you and,me —
There iittie Fish, don't you cry,
You'll be a Senior by and by.
MR. 1IOLST GOES TO
OPERATING TABLE
Since the Dean recommended the
"Essay"'Club as a good thing and it
was lawful without having a charter
from the institution we notice several
new members; Earl Beard is the one
who looks like he is in it for life.
Atta Boy, Earl, stay in there!
Brothers
"Stick 'em up kid," ordered the
thug. "Where you think you're
going?"
"Home," murmured the student.
•"Where from?"
"Date."
"Who with?"
"Co-Ed." •
"Here friend take this five spot.'
Mr, Hoist, the graceful song-
bird of Tarleton, was forced to
seek the operation table to, have
his mustache, tonsils or something
removed. While he was still
asleep, a .house beside the hospital,
caught fire. When he awoke all
the curtains were lowered. He
asked the nurse what was the
reason for all that. "Well, sir,"
said the nurse, "I was afraid you
would awake and think that your
operation had not been a success."
A FRESHMAN'S DREAM
Last night as I lay sleeping,
A vision came to me;
I thought that I was walking
In a gorden by the sea.
The gardner greeted me
In a maimer rather funny,
But he led me to a spot
That was quite bright and sunny.
He showed me a little plant,
With leaves that resembled teeth;
And though the stalks were scant,
Mother earth was hid beneath.
The old man loved this flower,
This I could plainly see,
So I sat down and listened,
While he told its life to me.
"The little plant is sturdy,
And grows regardless of care:
When young it is not pretty,
At it visitors only stare.
"People, as they come and go,
Praise the flowers that bloom;
But neglect the dandelions
That are not yet half grown.
"But when this flower breaks out
In blossoms of golden yellow,
Its beauty cannot be denied,
It brightens a the meadow.
"But while its beauties are admired,
The blossom opens , wide,
And is bourne away on winds
That scatter seeds on every side," .
When I awoke I wondered what
This dream could mean to me,
Then I thought what the future
Of our freshman class might be.
It now is'like the dandelion
That has just begun to grow;
Visitors never think of us,
When to Tarleton they come and go.
The class is like the wed,
Deserted because its green;
But in time we will come forth
As blossoms rarely seen.
Then it is too late for praise, .
We shall be nearing the end.j
And .the members of our class
Shalt be scattered on the wind.
If you have a word of cheer,
And would help us in our vow;
Do not wait till we are Seniors,
But give St to us now.
••The students and faculty had the
pleasure of having Doctor Bruce and
Mr, Bennett with us in chapel Monday
morning. Doctor Bruce was the first
president of John Tarleton College
and Mr. Bennett was a member of the
Jirst school board. I)ector Bruce made
a very interesting talk about educa-
tion. ft was enjoyed by ail. Anyone
will admit chat Doctor Bruce can say
ffrcat things in ever so short a time.
We wore very glad to have them With
us and cordially invite them back
again.
We, the Freshmen of '25, are striv-
ing for a better Tarleton. Though a
small class, we are doing our best t.o
move on. We are the Fish, but there
has to be beginners in every-
thing and it has fallen our lot to be
the beginners this year. We are
marching on to be the Seniors of '28,
We leave our position for some more
capable students to hold. On, ye
Freshmen!
Jail: "When I get out of this
prison, I'm sure going to have a
hot time."
Bird: "You must be in for life.
A ROMANTIC GAME
Tennis is getting to be a very
romantic game. It seems as if it
ia very necessary, for those who
have the S. A. I don't, know why
it is that they like to play so very
well (with their . doolsenae) be-
cause I have never been under the
influence of any girl. I bet it Is
a great feeling though, gosh! If
you want to know anything in
particular about the above see
"Mitt" Browning, "Bob" Scoggins
or even "Shiek" Kraemer.
DEAN IS FOR US
The days of ancient "Essay" S.
A., were brought to light last Fri-
day morning when Dean Davis
and his old college chum, Mr.
Gragg of Southern Publishing
Co., Dallas, entertained in chapeL
Competition was alive in those
goo'd old days also. It only re-
mained to give that spirit a coat
of polish to be termed "modern
S. A."
