A CLOCK—A STUDENT BODY
One is a metallic mechanic the other is composed of
human elements.
When each intricate spring, screw of a clock is perfectly
balanced an efficient machine is formed, ^o long as these
different parts are not disturbed, not worn noticeably or
unbalanced then all the functions of a time piece are per-
formed rationally. But permit one piece to wear, another
to be broken or misplaced and a third one to be thrown out
of equilibrium the mechanism is valueless and unless the
broken parts are repaired or disposed of it remains so. An
excess of foreign matter, oil or sanfl,, lowers the value and
may completely stop it when , placed'in the proper place.
Under these conditions a resume may be effected only by a
"house cleaning."
A student body does not greatly differ from this mechan-
ism when each individual learns his part, executes it ac-
curately- and willingly then the equilibrium necessary will
be established. But let one student fail to do his part,
then the responsibility falls unequally on his fellows. 'Con-
sequently under the added load another may break down
01 likewise cast the heavier load on some one else.
Then this condition is not unlike the broken clock. It
no longer runs smoothly nor does it give any satisfaction.
The personality burdened by an idea of indifference aptly
compares to the foreign matter, oil or sand found in the
mechanism of the clock. The. instant elimination of these
undesirables is imperative in either case.
There are some broken Cogs in our Machine—Lets'
Repair or Dispose of these affected members.
By the way he brung back a job

over—maybe there will he some
left—maybe.
We take back what we said about
Dusty last week. He's not that
dumb. He's worse. 01' Lady says
his brain' is so small you couldn't
find it with, a four wheel dime,
double acting, compound search-
light filtered through an eight cyl-
inder synthetic, hydraulic brakje riiic
roscope. Truthfully speaking, (we
seldom do that) his thinker is pretty
small.
We have a new game Ave play
here, every morning. We named
the game "Name 'em," very inter
esting. For further particulars see
01' Lady.
Well sir, Mr. Howell tells us
we'll have to reform the J-Tac; says
we'll have to cut out the slang, the
Profs, say we'll have to cut out
loafing, the librarian told us to cut
out talking, and the doctor says
he'll have to cut out our appendix
Our cutin' up days will soon be
over. A speed cop struck us t'othev
day for having our cut-out open. So
we'll cut this Bunk, make a cut for
bid and try to cut up a cord or
cord and a half of wood before six

SENIORS
Have you realized that—Time has not slackened its pace
for the slump in spirit?
Slightly more thai? three months remain for You to either
make your Senior year in Tarleton the best, or ?
No plans have been made for a Senior Memorial?
Just a small >percentage of the Seniors show loyalty
enough to come to class meetings?
Something must be done now! The old let-Hector-do-it
attitude will not put the Senior class of '26 oVer in a be-
coming style. Come down from your high-horses.
If you have not done your best to make this class a suc-
cess, get in the fight now. , Everyone wake up to the real-
ization that it is YOUR class, and it will be just what YOU
make it!
FORT FROLICS
"Gee how sleepy."—"I cfidn't get
in until twelve last night."
"Oh-ho-ho'-hum." ■
"Oh quit griping, we had two
blow outs and finally' come in. on
the rim bill"—
Br-r-r-r.
"Cut that alarm off!
"I have two quizes today and
haven't studied a lick"—
"My how good those biscuits
were" ,
"Soupy—Soupy"—B-U-G-L-E. ■
Then a mad scramble with shoes,
neckties and putts, ends with a sleepy
bunch of cadets ambling across the
campus toward Dublin. Once more
the fort is into action—more Or
less—after a celebration of a vic-
tory that made us district champs—
an acknowledgement that the "Fath-
er of Our Country" made his' debut
into this world—and that WE had
a holiday!
Most of' our number spent the
week end at home—or' somewhere
else where the hot bisquits and
cakes grow—and are back to report
a good—or better time.
Tubby Brown spent three long
and lonesome days iru the hospital,
but is now back in his apartment
at the Fort. The light attack of
flu did not seem to shorten his
stature any for he still has to stoop
to go through his door and in the
bed his feet stick out over one end
and his head hangs over the other.
Tubby seems to be in very good
health, though.
CAMPUS GIGS
District Champions!. Burleson
next? Do you remember the last
time we met them? 14-12.
Mr. LouisHale and Mr. Fain Mc-
You may depend on that eager
squad to see that the next contest
ends with as favorable results as
before.
The number of new athletic
Dougal spent the last week end awards for the State Champion, foot-
in tlia Qtnfa'n 1 11 A , "I .1
in the State's Capitol, but have
come back to their beloved Tarle
ton. Both boys were at the Y. M.
C. A, convention held at that city.
Mr. Hale had his finger worked on
again while he was down there.
Both boys -were of the FORT.
TOWN TOPICS
Oh! Ye. Worthy Sorjbe pauses
with pen poised in mid-air and lies-
itates before making any other at-
tempts into the field of journalistic
talents after having cast these un-
worthy eyes on that passage in last
week's J-Tac, which so admirably
revealed the shrinking personalities
of our artistic opposites. Really
we must confess that we did not
freely understand how perfectly "up
to date" our friends of the mas-
culine flapper sex were- until they
expostulated about the , New South
African Stitch. Of course you un-
derstand that' this particular stitch
has only recently been accepted in
society as the coming mode of sea-
son's decorations, and it was as-
tounding to us that the boys learned
this stitch so quickly. But oh-h-h!!
I forgot this bit of textile know-
ledge is to be acredited to the re-
cently organized and highly esteem-
ed "Wednesday afternoon Sewing
Club, is it npt? 4
Since it has always been our
desire to tell in our space in the
J-Tac, only those happenings which
actually occur, we heseby beg the
pardon of clever journalists who
wrote the "Town Boys" of last week
and hastily begin 011 our own
Town Topics."
Lucinda McDaniel and Anna Lau-
ra Frazier were guests this past
week end of Mary Ellen. Satur-
day night the three of them went to
Weatherford to see the game. It is
just as exciting to the dump sis-
ters to stay out in town as it is
for us to patronize the dump!
ball , team, noted on the campus
makes it NOT very encouraging to
work and sacrifice for an honorable
name to accredit both the student
body and the sdhool.
Just why can't the student body
pee, by some means,that these worthy
persons be given suitable rewards.
Again we can't see why a minori-
ty of persons, with their inspirations
from the Russian Bolshevics, and
their utter disregard for law, order
and convention, should rule the ma-
jority arid dominate them to such
an extent that the entire body should
lose interest in every line of eri-
deavor.
Poor Richard tells us that lost
time is never found! You are los-
ing time when YOU listen to any
person who insists that such and
such rules or regulations are useless.
The strongest civilization that ever
existed had more laws than such a
person can conceive of. Radicals
may lead the world into every new
line of endeavor. Rationalism must
nter before the battle can be won.
NEVER AGAIN
I've thought and deeply pondered,
And racked my weary brain,
To try to write a poem—
I never shall again.
All night I've slept with open eyes,
On sleepless pillow lain.
Thinking how to write a poem—■
I never shall again.
I pray thee gentle reader,
Look not on me in despair,
Because I tried to write a poem—
I never shall again.
In our mind George certainly de-
serves lots of credit for establishing
a holiday this time of year. Can
you imagine what it would mean
to go from January the fourth, until
May, the twenty seventh without
a single holiday?'
But now that we have had one we
are back with a firm determina-
tion to "strut our stuff" and show
the world that Tarleton has the
right of way.
Though it isn't an established fact
— a rumor has been pa«sf-.d out—
can you keep a secret—that we are
to have —are you sure—our picture
made soon!
Lucile went home for the week
end. You see, Lucile's home is only
temporarily located here, and to hear
her tell it, Valley Mills is a mighty
nice place to be from—or did she
say it? I declare I forgot.
, Yeh, Clem came down from
Fort Worth to see Henri. Henri rates
a suction up here but I promised not
to tell that.
Paul Wilkerson of San Angelo,
an ex-Tarletpnite of last year, was
was Carroll's guest over the week
end.
Bozo says that all .both of them
certainly had a lovely time over the
week end with each other for com-
pany.
If we survive after the on-coming
land slide of glasses, quizzes and
conferences, you "will be honored
by a report from us next week.
I wonder if it wouldn't be a good
idea for the college to put a bench
opposite the varsity shop, facing
the street? It would save the en-
trance gate from lota of wear and
tear, by the camp used club."
What we want to know is this:
How did Marjorie find out that
Saturday was Wade's birthday and
why did Wade go and tell somebody
when his birthday was after he re-
fused to' impart that knowledge to
any, of the town bunch? We betcha
this, though-—he was kinda glad af-
ter all, that somebody told Marjo-
rie that secret he told you not to
tell her he told you, weren't you
Wade?
