New Boys Dormitory
"Coach" has done well in showing
: our football boys how to "ram"
through that 1 ne. However, the boys
now have a mascot who will set a real
example for them to follow.
The "Ramlhei" is a ram of noble
bearing. Some, say his handsome
horns can deal a mighty wallop. He
was given' to the school by the Sopho-
more class last Wednesday evening,
October 2nd. "Chuck" Herring, pres-
; ident of the class, presented him at a
Pep Rally held on the campus.
After the presentation the campus

Texas Wesleyan College may proud-
ly boast of an organization which it
has never had before. This organiza-
tion is the band. «
It is composed of twenty-live mem-
bers, many of whom are outstanding
soloists. Band Director H. E. Dought-
ery states that this college has the
best matevia! and best prospects for a
band of any college in the state of
similar size. He is very proud of the
band, not only because of the work of
certain individuals, but also because
of the progress which it has shown
since its organization less than two
weeks ago.
The members of the band are: Bugs
