Good Lessons
Now is the time for all good students to come to the aid'of
their students. How easy it will be, now that the first term is
over, to relax and again let those daily assignments stack up
for a while.'
Not for one who learned his lesson last semester! He now
realizes that had he studied all along, he would never have
known that dread and fear of exams. A little such application
begun now at the beginning of the semester and continued
throughout it will produce .pleasing results and reduce much
Unnecessary worry, come time for those final quizzes.
It's up to you! No one enjoys exam week, but you can cer-
tainly make it easier for yourself.

WELDING MOVIE
TO BE SHOWN
"The Story of A-C Welding"
and "A New Frontier" will be
shown by the engineering depart-
ment February 6. Both of these
films run about twenty minutes
and are very informative, accord-
ing to advance notices,
"The Story of A-C Welding" is
based on experience gained at
General Electfic's own plants and
in the plants of other leading
manufacturers who use a-c weld-
ing. Many of the scenes in this
picture show actual operation of
the arc in close-up views.
Using' charts, animation and
close-up views of the arc in action,
the film shows several advantages j
of a-c welding over d-c welding,
whether for thick or thin material,
manual or machine welding, in-
doors or outdoors, for maintenance
or for production welding.
"A New Frontier" is the story
of the development of one of the
world's greatest and most interest-
ing resources—oil—in a land as
fabulous as it has been difficult
to develop, Saudi Arabia.
This film is more than beautir
fully executed travelogue. It is
the record of treasures buried un-
der the blazing sands, their dis-
covery, and finally the yielding of
their vast natural resources to a
Worthiragton Likes

L. G. Worthington, Tarleton
mathematics head who directed
the "March' of Dimes" on the

tion for the, support given by

"We are grateful to all who
helped in this worthy cause," he
said, "and we are especially grate-
ful to Mrs. May Hicks and'mem-
bers of the dining hall staff for

which they rendered in the drive.

NEW COURSE
IN AGRICULTURE
TO BE OFFERED
The Academic Council announced
last week the approval of a Hew
one-year Terminal Course in Agri-
culture to go into effect in Sep-
tember.
"The course is designed for non-
high school graduates who fee! the
need for at least one year of prac-
tical agriculture and leadership
training, who ,did not complete
their high school training, and
who intend to live on the farm,"
said A. J. Spangler, ag division
director.
' It will allow many boys the val-
uable training in practical subjects
who would have not been eligible
for a degree, and will afford col-
lege training- to those v/ho were
dissatisfied with the academic
courses now being offered by'most
colleges.
A. part of the course will be
membership and participation in
the Tarleton Collegiate 'FFA Chap-
ter, to acquaint the student with
parliamentary procedure and lead-
ership,
"There are many boys in this
area who did not finish high school
for one reason or another, and,
who do not care for1 such subjects
as college algebra, English litera-
ture, bacteriolog-y, and foreign
languages, but who do see the need
for trained farm leaders who, are
capable of doing well the jobs they
are called on to - do, who would
well be interested," said Spangler
of the new course. ■
"These boys want something
that will increase their ability to
make a living on the farm or ranch
now and get more out of life. This
is the purpose of the course."
FIRE THREAT
IS STYMIED
A fire threat to the Tarleton
Agriculture building was discover-
ed Tuesday night by Gene O'Neal
whoso prompt action prevented'
a possible loss of the building;
About 5:30 O'Neal discovered
a' small, blaze at the west end of
the building near the hedge. Real-
izing the danger, he notified the
Stephenville fire department.
: After arriving at the scene
of the fire, firemen' rem'oved
boards, from the floor of .the
building and flooded the area
underneath with water. Such ac-
tion immediately extinguished the
blaze under the building.
The large Qrowd of spectators
and the roar of the sirens added
to the excitement already pre-
sent.
O'Neal, an agriculture major
form Granbury, later received a
letter from President E. J. Howell
commending him for his alertness,
and attention -to duty. President
Howell also expressed his appre-
ciation for this servipe rendered
by O'Neal.
Ag Department
To. Get Chairs
For Lef t-Handers
Chairs for Tarleton's left-hand-
ed students may be available in
the new agriculture building, A. J,
Spangler, agriculture'division dir-
ector, announced last week,
"In ordering chairs for the new
ag building, it will be possible to
order a ;:few left-handed tablet
arm chairs if it develops that
there are enough who would be
helped by having such chairs,"
Spangler said, *
Left-handed students who would
prefer using the chairs are advis-
ed to leave their names, with Mr.
Spangler. *
MISS JONES
MAKES TRIP
TO FT. WORTH
Miss May Jones, president of
the Texas division of the AATJW,
will be in Fort Worth on February
2 to meet Dr. Maria de la Ljliz
Grovas with whom she will.; vipt
the Fort Worth branch of the or-,
ganization.
Dr. Grovas, professor of Eng-
lish language, literature, phonetics
and historical grammar at the Es-
cuela Normal Superior in Mexico
and professor of Spanish at i the
summer school of the National
University of Mexico, is making
a tour of Texas, Arkansas and
Missouri. She is visiting schools,
homes, business districts, industrial
districts, hospitals, recreation cen-
ters, points of local interest, as
well as AAUW branch meetings
and other club groups.
The purpose of this program is
the promotion of friendship, under-
standing, and good will between
the people of this section, of the
United States and Mexico.
Outstanding Group
The Margaret Webster Shakespeare Company which opened
its second National Tour on October 10 ot Kingston, R. I„ and
will present "Julius Caesar" here Feb. 11, is probably the out-
standing Civic Series attraction of the year. Headed by Louisa
Horton, Kendall Clark, and David Lewis, the seasoned New York
cast represents the first Broadway standard repertory. Company
to barnstorm the nation's colleges, universities and public audi-
toriums.
For Miss Webster, one of' the most brilliant minds' in the
American theatre, it is the crystallization of a dream. Through-
out her successful career ?is a Broadway director, it has been
her conviction that audiences in sjnall communities from-coapt- .
_ to-coast would like to see "live" theatre again. There was, ;?Jhe
maintained, an entiVe generation who had never had an oppor-
tunity to see a professional presentation of a Shakespearian
Play. . . " «>V[ V
Early in 1947, Miss Webster wrote to 500 colleges throughout
the nation asking if they would be interested in "live" theatre
"and what plays tKey would like to see. In less than a week,
hundreds of enthusiastic replies jammed her mail-box. Top
choices. for the initial season were "Hamlet" and "Macbeth;"
Armed with these responses, Miss Webster negotiated wjth S.
Hurok, well-known impresario, who agreed to book the tour and
guarantee her company a weekly minimum. Joseph Verier Reed,
a man of means interested in fine theatre advanced- the nec-
essary funds for actors' salaries, rehearsal halls costumes, si>ts,
transportation and electrcial equipment. Officials of Actcjra'
Equity and other trade unions made important concessions;
and by the summer of 1948, Miss Webster was ready to' select
her "strolling players" and start rehearsals, ,- |
In' September, 1948, an unusual cavalcade assembled inj j;he
startled precincts of Times Square, Is consisted of a bus loaded
with 20 actors and five technicians, flanked by racks of cos-''-'
tumes; a station wagon piled to the roof with bags and baggage •
and finally, a newly painted truck bearing the inscription
"Margaret Webster Shakespeare Company".
One the night of September 2Gth, a closely packed audience
in Buffalo, N. Y., witnessed the inception of one of the most
daring pioneering projects in modern theatrical road history.
During the eight months that followed, Miss Webster's motor-
ized troupe brought Shakespeare to some 200 cultural centers
(jnostly colleges) in 34 states and three Canadian provinces,
covering more than 30,000 miles in the process.
For'this, her second season-, Miss Webster has again chosen
two popular plays by the Bard, but eventually she hopes to in-
clude the works of Ibsen, Chekhov, Sheridan, Moliere, Shaw and
other great dramatists in the repertoire of her unique company.
