Welcome to Exes From Prexy
To Tarleton Ex-students:
One of the nicest things about fall and the fobtball season
.is the anticipation of the annual TSC Homecoming. And one
of the best "things about homecoming is being able to say
"hello" to ex-students.
We always welcome?"exes back to our campus, but our home-
coming is special. And we like to think that we roll out the
carpet for you on this day.
Our committees have worked long and hard to plan these
events for you. We certainly hope you can make your plans to
be with us. •
And so, on behalf of the faculty and the present student
body, le,t me say now that you are welcome.—Cordially,
E. J. HOWELL, President.
