The National
Joy Smoke"
©
is no mere
catch-phrase
YOU can prove it. Prince Albert is the Nation's
largest-selling brand of pipe-tobacco* It brings
joy to more smokers than any other brand.
Q. E. D.! Your first fragrant whiff will set your
mouth a-watedng.
And your first taste of good old P. A. in a
pipe will satisfy your pipe-hunger as nothing
else ever has. Cool as the first period- Welcome
as the last. Mellow and itoild and long-burning,
right to the bottom of the bowl. Try P. A.,
Fellows, on my say-so.

SHORT HISTORY OF THE
TARLETON MILITARY BAND
(Continued from page one)
captain was Lou Rankin, who lod
the band in 1921 ami 1922. Tho
next captain was Lyle Price, who
was also the drum major. Lyle
.served m and won a place in
the hearts of the members that
was haid to fill.
In 1924 James Crowley was cap-
tain. The success that he has gain-
ed as director of the Lubbock High
Si hool band speaks for his effici-
ency and musicionship while in
Tarleton
Forney Dawkins served the band
as captain in 192f> and although he
was >.eiiou«ly uintemplatinj; (jet-
ting married all the year, he made
one of the best loved captains.
Fred Cannon, captain of the band
of 1.92(1, served faithfully as our
highest officer and won a plnco in
the hearts of all who knew him.
Fred is one of tho most efficient
musicians wc have ever had. lie is
now in New York at the present,
attending Conway Band School,
where he is completing his sccond
year's work
Last year's captain, Sam Wilkin-
son, was in tho same chaos as that
of Captain Dawkins, two years his
predecessor. We refer, however, to
tho urgent business that continual-
ly called him away from, the band
la the girls' parlor. Nevertheless,
he survived and made us one of the
best captains wc have over had.
This year ho is in A. and M. com-
pleting his junior work.
Some of tho honors that the hand
has won are: First place, Chamber
of Commerce convention, 1923 at
San Angelo; First place at C. of C.
convention, BroWnwood in 1024;
second place C. of C. convention,
Mineral Wells in 1925; first place,
National Boys' Day parade, Fort
Worth, 1026 and 1927.
THE BAND'S PORTION
OF THE CAMPUS
(Continued from page one)
jpyable evenings may be spent
there.
Several pecks of nuts have been
planted in the park. Such selec-
tions of the nuts were planted aa
will be the most attractive when
they begin to grow. With tho
other numerous trees that are fully
grown in addition to these In later
years the park should furnish an
adequate place for a cool rest each
warm evening.
Birds apparently seen to love
tiio trees around this spot, thus we
can infer from them that it is a
great place for musical sounds.
It is our intentions to expond a
great effort to make the park as
attractive as possible and add
more glory to our own Tarleton.
As spring nears us, we are care-
fully planning a scries of Sunday
afternoon concerts. In this way,
wc hope to so utilize the park that
thiough its medium we may render
a musical service to the students
and to all Tarleton.
"SHARPS AND FLATS—BY
COS11"
I would call your attention a
few minutes, and want you riot
to talk while f am speaking—if
that is possible.
Did you know that the sum-
mer ol' 1027 was tho first sum-
mor that our moat beloved Tar-
leton band did not make an ex-
tended trip over some portion of
the State in some eight years,
and it was no fault of theirs
that they did not make one
then.
The noted band tours m the
past have been from two to
three weeks in length and have
never been an expense to the
college as tho State does not al-
low money to be spent on adver-
tising the college.
Mr. Hunewell and the boys
barely got their expenses paid
on these tours. They go from
town to town and these places
usually give the boys gasoline,
board and lodgixig and what
this lacks paying their expenses
the city ol' Stephenvillc pay the
balance. In my opinion Mr.
Hunewell and his band have ad-
vertised Tarleton more than any
other thing except the Egg Lay-
ing Contest. I think we, as
students and the faculty, owe
Mr. Hunewell and the band
more than we can pay.
Did you ever stop to think
that the Tarleton band won
first place in the college class
of the band contest in Brown-
wood in 1924 at the Chamber of
Commerce convention. They
also won second place at San
Angelo in 1923 in class "C."
They won second place as a
street band m Fort Worth in
1925 and also won second place
in the band contest at Mineral
Wells the same year. In 1926
the band proved its ability as a
stroet band by winning first
place in Fort Worth at the Boys
Day program.
If you will just imagine a
school without a band, a dress
parade without a band and oth-
er programs that we have dur-
ing the year which the BEST
COLLEGE BAND in the State
furnishes music for, I think
you will join me in SALUTING
Mr, Hunewell and the boys.
Yours, not for a better band,
for there ain't no such animal,
but for proper respect to the or-
ganization.
—GOSH.
THE BAND ON DRESS PARADE
(Continued from pago one)
ficers' tenter march. Hero the
music inspires tho officers to carry
out the ceremony much better, and
it makes^ the battalion, as a whole,
have more Hpirit all during the
parade.
The last thing in the dross pa-
rade is the pass m review. In thin
movement tho band has the most
important part of all. If it were
not for the sound of the music,
where all could hear and determine
the cadence, ftomeone would have to
be counting while passing the re-
viewing stand. This would tend to
cause confusion and every one
would not be in step. And what is
a better recommendation than an
entire organization in perfect step?
Didn't that cause Colonel Mayo to
form a (rood opinion of us?
By the way, did you ever think
how much study and practice it
takes to loarn to play an instru-
ment, in order to be a band man.
compared to the length of time It
takes to learn to handle n rifle?
Just anybody can loarn to juggle a
rifle in a very short time, but it
takes months and even years to
learn to play an instrument.
FRIDAY AFTERNOON DRILL
There has been many com-
ments on the band's ability to
drill as a company. Some say
that the band should drill as
well as any of the companies.
Any company drilling only once
a week with rifles could not
drill as well as a military or-
ganization should. Alt band-
men will admit that the band Is
far from perfect when it comes
to drilling as a company, but
th^ best drilled company of
Tarleton is not perfect.
The time spent on Friday af-
ternoons is not all wasted. The
band has never before had to
drill with rifles until this year.
Only a few men in tho band

knew how to handle a rifle cor-
rcctly when they were first is-
sued. Now, every one knows
something about it. Only a
few men knew how to drill in
company formation or in other
worda, close order drill. At
any rate most every one knows
how to execute "squads right"
and "squads left."
There is one question I want
to ask. What company in Tar-
leton could lay down thoir riflo
and drill in band formation as
well as the band lays down their
instruments and drills as a
company ?
