rounded by bluebonnets and, star-

Tarleton Senior Day
Compares Favorably
With Baylor's Day
The April issue of "The Baylor
Century" contains an article which
says that 2500 high school sen-
iors from eight counties of Dis-
trict Fourteen attended Baylor's
annual "at home" day on April 18.
Comparing this number with
the number of counties represent-
ed here on Tarleton's Senior Day,
it seems that Tarleton didn't do
bad at all from the "county angle."
Twelve hundred high school sen-
iors of fifty-two schools, situated
in twenty-three different Texas
counties were entertained here on
Senior Day.
Even one senior class from Los
Angeles, California, was represent-
ed by James E. Jeter.
The group coming the greatest
distance (160 miles) was that from
Clifton High School in Van Zandt
County.

A scorebook containing construc-
tive criticism for the J-Tac men-
tioned the paper's strong points as
being its use of campus "Chuckle"
incidents as news features, its ar-
rangement of advertising in such
a manner as to give the advertisers
a "break," and its thorough cov-
erage of sports. Adverse criticism
was concerned mostly with lack of
variety in make-up and in news and
feature stories and a tendency to-
wards verbosity in writing.
Children Of World
War Veterans Are
To Meet May 8
A call is made to every student
who is a son or daughter of a
World War Veteran to meet in the
auditorium in the home economics
building at 7:15 o'clock on Thurs-
day "night, May 8. This meeting
could turn out to be one of the
most important ever held on the
campus at Tarleton, and in all
probability it will start a movement
that will be felt in practically every
college and university in the Uni-
ted States.
' At the American Legion TlZi\
District-Convention held at Ranger
in February, a resolution was un-
animously passed approving an or-
ganization in colleges of the sons
and daughters of the World War
Veterans, the chief purposes of
which would be to foster and en-
courage Americanism and good
citizenship.
A committee composed of W. J.
Wisdom, Post Commander of the
Legion at Stephenville, as chair-
man; Post Commander R. N. Cars-
well, of Abilene; Post Commander
Stell, of Rotan; and Dr. W. T.
Walton, president of Ranger Col-
lege, was appointed to investigate
the matter in detail and to be rea-
dy to make a final report to the
17th District at the district conven-
tion to be held in Stephenville
on June 21-22.
Committee Makes Plan
This committee has met and a
tentative program of activities and
plan of organization have been
worked out. The "committee also
recommended that Coach Wisdom
call a meeting of the sons and dau-
ghters of World War Veterans who
are students in Tarleton and give
them an opportunity to express
their sentiments.
Should such a movement mature,
Tarleton would have the honor of
having the first or original chap-
ter or unit of the organization in
the United States. Since it is es-
timated that 15 per cent of all
college students are sons and dau-
ghters of World War Veterans,
a va'it number will be enrolled in
the organization. As one promin-
ent citizen of Texas said, "What
organization would be more univer-
sal, more democratic, and where
could you find one with a purer
background of Americanism?"
Twelve Veterans On Faculty
Such an organization has the
hearty approval of Dean Davis and
the wholehearted support of the
local post of the American Le-
gion. The following members of the
faculty are World War Veterans
and naturally will be very much
interested in the organization: A.
A. McSweeny, Dr. Hugh B. Smith,
Capt. L. G. Rich (on leave, in Army
service), T. A. Hensarling, R. B.
Mefford, C. H. Dawson, Dr. A. V.
Scott, H. C. Doremus, E. A. Blan-
chard, Oscar Frazier, W. J. Wis-
dom, and Miss Lucy Hennigan.
Any student whose father or
mother served in the Army, Navy,
or Marine Corps between April 6,
1917, and November 11, 1918, will
be eligible to join the organization.
The place of service makes no dif-
ference.
It is hoped that all concerned
will keep this in mind and be pres-
ent. Let us put this movement
over and add another feather to
the cap of John Tarleton.—Chair-
man, W. J. Wisdom.
