THE LAST CHAPTER IN
THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY
OF A JUNIOR
This chapter is devoted to guess-
work, surmises and dreams. Where
it- leads or how it shall end, is un-
known. I hope it will he as I have
planned, for I have builded well.
I have dreamed my dreams and
thought my thoughts. Now must
come the realization.
.1 hope to be on engineer. Per
haps one of some repute. This is
doubtful. My father, his father, and
his father's father were all hard-
ware men. Would it seem strange
if I were to follow in his foot-
Eteps? I think not. It is bred and
born in the family.
I shall doubtless marry, I intend
to; I desire a home, one, of comfort
and not of extreme luxury. I hope
to be able to keep my wife and
partner in the right style,,
Biit years that lie before are
mdny. and the curtain is dark. I
cannot rightly percieye what is to
be, I hipe for life, prosperity and
coritentnient. •
Only fitting words to close tljis
chapter of doubt are those of the
Spaniard, "Quien Sabe?"
WHAT DID YOU FIND?
Today, the greatest need of the modern college student
is a definite aim in life. He has no fixed standards on
. which to build the structure, Which in later life determines
his destiny. He is a drifter. A tragecly of life is to be
found in the young person ivho drifts aimlessly out into,
life's elements which he should utilise in furthering him
on his course.
The person who has a definite aim in life takes advan-
tage of every opportunity that will help him to achieve his
end; while the one without an ultimate aim sees no oppor
ttiriities and therefore can not make 'Use df tllferii.
When one decides upon arj objective, he expects to make
sacrifices. He meets difficulties with eagerness and is
willing to endure almost any hardship in order that he may
accomplish his purpose. ;
Every great achievement has been made possible be-
cause it first existed as a definite ideal. Can you conceive
of a successful than unless he knoWs where he is going?
truthfulness
„ 'truthfulness, is one of the high-
est moral .principles,,.in life and
one of the beat ,tp follow. It is the
most important factor in the 'mould-
ing of one's life andcharacter, , :
If you are true to. your friends
you, have more of them. If y0u are
sincere in your speach and actions,
you are aiding in the development
of.a better, personality, fpr yourself.
: By; being true to yotirself yoii
promote, development of & purer
arid gleaner character. You see
youjr faults amf weaknesses and. you
correct fhese. to. tile best, of your
ability, thereby setting a higher
moral for yourself.
By being what he or shej truly is,
rather than acting the part of some-
one else, a person may win the re-
speqt, friendship, and high esteem
of worthwhile people,
t Truthfulness is a straight path
through life .which anyone may fol-

AND THIS IS WHY
You, 1 see, these dignified
iors, they said to u,s:
"You low-down Junior^—
i We'd like to hear you
.'■Make, a fuss! ' . ■ .
Sen-
We'll tliiijk up something
That is hard to do,,
.We, will sujely put you
Juniors., through."
Well, the high powered
Jury of Seniors sat,
They thought of many
Punishments—-of this
And-of that.
Then from the jUry robin
They. catnej
And with them a blow
%o Junior fame.
Their sentence was
Rpth criiel and unfair,
They,.asked us to publish
A J-Tac without ;
Using hot air.
So my dear readers,
You see why this is,
The work of the
Juniors'
And the cause of '
Their teiars.
We hope this meets
Approval of our
Superiors so bold,
We have tried to tell
The news without
Scandaling a soul.
Mat Cfalnim is your fellow stu-
dent and he would appreciate your
barber business. This \vork will
help to keep him in school. Call'
and see him at Pate Bros. .
I was a small child #heri I first
remember John Tarletori College,
The buildings wer few, and con-
sisted of a home economic build-
ing a small doriintory arid a sen-
ior home. From that time I had a
very kindly feeling1 toward John
Tarleton College, ' •
One year ago I landed in' Tar-
leton College. Do you know what
I found? I found one of the best
institutions in Texas'. It is a school
lor training, of those who want to
be trained. What did you find?

a bank of ferns and Easter lilies.
They wore white robes which added
to the atmosphere of the scene.
The contata ivas a}te-inspiririg be-
cause of the subject and superb
puality of music.
