SMILE, SMILE, SMILE-WIN $100 SCHOLARSHIP GIVEN
TO STUDENT ANNUALLY BY JUDGE I. H. BURNEY
Pack up >;our troubles in your old kit bag
And Smile, Smile, Smile!
This injunction is particularly
directed to new students who may
not have l«pn informed that a
Smile Queen Is elected by the stu-
dent body each spring. The young
lady who throughout the school
year has manifested the sunniest
disposition and the cheeriest smile
is awarded at commencement a
scholarship valued at $100, and is
given the title "Smije Girl".
This award had its origin more
tha» ten years ago. Judge I. H.
Burney, the platform guest at for-
©
mal convocation September 21,
who urged students to remember
that "work overcomes every ob-
stacle" and is an "elemental essen-
tial for a successful life", frequent-
ly gave chapel addresses on the
campus in other years. He made
an assembly talk in 1926, entitled,
"The Value of a Smile". Because
he believes that a smile and a
sunny disposition are valuable as-
sets, if they come from the heart,
he stated in that address that he
would give $100 to the young lady
displaying the happiest disposition
throughout the year. He proposed
that the student body choose the
one to be honored.
Nominations were made, an elec-
tion was held, and Miss Willie May
Lee received $100 in cash along
with the title Smile Girl, and a
full-page picture in the 1927 an-
nual. For several years thereafter
a cash award was maije. Now the
gift is in the form of a scholarship.
Judge Burney, always a friend
of education, is himself a student.
He is well read and has traveled
widely, '^pical of his scholarly
interests is the fact that before
visiting Algiers several years ago
he spent months making a study
of the industrial, political, and so-
cial conditions of that country. He
is president of the Carnegie Li-
brary board and was recently made
chairman of the committee to
choose a site for the new Carnegie
library building. *

Rams Receive Royal
Welcome Home
af
The victorious Rams received a
royal welcome when they returned
to Fort Worth Saturday.
Over 200 T.W.C. students, and
also Willie, the'vram, were assem-
bled at the court hosue at1 four o'-
clock'Saturday afternoon to escort
the Rams home after a successful
trip to Canyon.
Andrew Minshew met the boys
at Azle and brought them through
North Side to the ^starting point ,
of the parade.
The entire procession, consisting
of the bus load of football boys,
the pick-up equipped with loud
speakers, the many cars decorated
in red and black, and the police
escorts traveled the entire distance
from the court house to ,the col-
lege. "
Saturday traffic gave way and
allowed the noisy group the right-
of-way from one end of Main
street to the other.
Large crowds stopped everything
and watched students, yelling at
the top of their voices, proceed
down Main.
The Rams made a name for
themselves when they overcame
the dope and opposition and em-
erged victorious over W.T.S.T.C.
Buffaloes with a score of 13-6.
Coach Gus Miller and Dub King
rqlated the highlights of the game
at the pep rally in front of the
boy's dressing room immediately
fallowing the parade. The coach
was as enthusiastic as if he had
been in the game all 60 minutes
himself.
Students on the campus Friday
night acted more like inmates of a
hospital for;jt£ak«minded than col-
lege studenn^kuming here and
theri^moanirvg, "Oh, I wish I knew
the score."
Wh^R the news arrived about
11:15, students met at Mulkey Hall
for a pep rally celebration.
The result of this game was a
pleasant surprise to many^
The Rams as wimers of the con-
ference title is the main run of
by the majority of students.
Joe B. Wills, Robert Garrison,
Leon Mathis, and Ralph Utley
<vere among the students whose
hard work made the entire parade
possible.
Office Urges Exes
To Pay Dues
<AU ex-students of Texas Wesley-
an College are urged by the office
to pay their dues to Miss Sue
Mann. The dues of the ex-stu-
dents' organization are only one
dollar per year, and are to be sent
to Miss Mann in care of T. W. C.
The payment of this fee is urged
for several reasons. The main ad-
vantage of the payment of the fee
is that any former student is en-
titled to occupy a guest room in
one of the dormitories for twenty-
five cents per night. * < |
All ex-students <are urged to send
In their dues as soon as possible.
