Smiths Outnumber All Names
On Campus; Browns Second
Well It seems that nil good things
must come to nn end. Everything
that goes up must como down etc.
But here's a good example I think
that will prove that such Is not al-
ways the case.
A group of cx-servlce men on the
Minnesota University campus were
tired of Kllroy. Everywhere they
went they saw signs of Kilroy's
famous pen. "Kllroy was here. Kll-
roy died In line waiting for chow.
Kllroy ate the chow first and then
died. Kllroy slept here. And of
course That's a lie my name's Kll-
roy. and I ain't been here yet."
They were plagued eternally by
this gallavantlng demon and could
stand It no longer. So one afternoon
they reported to the campus dally
that Kllroy had suffered injuries
sustained when he was caught in
the path of a mob of co-eds who
trampled him in their wild dash to
classes. (Kilroy was so busy staring
at "Wimmln;" that he forgot to
move.) He was rushed to a down-
town hospital where doctors pro-
nounced his condition grave and ex-
pressed doubts as to his recovery.
That night they put out a bulletin
at two o'clock a. m. "Kllroy relapses
into coma condition grave." At
four thiry A. M. they issued a second
and final bulletin "Kilroy succombs
to skull fracture and concussion."
Secretcly Kilroy's body was re-
moved from the hospital and crem-
ated and the ashes put In a small
but beautiful box. Befitting in every
respect one of such characters. Fif-
teen thousand students gathered on
the campus the next day in a service
meant to bo the last rites of one
"Ktlrov". There were beautiful
flowers and many a tear was open-
ly shed as the minister said "We
arc gathered here today to honor
our dear departed brother. A man
who truly "Made HIS Mark in the
World."
The small box was lowered Into
the grave by tender hands and the
small tombstone placed at the head
of the grave carried the Inscription
"Kllroy IS HERE". Yes there was
sadness on Minnesota's campus but
it soon was to turn Into wonder for
he next morning Kilroy was gone
disappeared into We night. In place
of the tombstone was a sign boldly
declaring "Kilroy WAS Here."
Yes I guess Kilroy wll be with us
forever. You can't kill Kllroy ho is
just a spirit something dreamed up
by some imaginative GI's. He was
a great moral booster In the war.
When a beach was stormed the first
wave of the landing party like as
not would encounter as sign bold
as brass proclaming to their con-
sternation "Kilroy was here."

No it's not the Joneses this time
but the Smiths who outnumber all
others on the campus. Hardin-Sim-mons
has to the best of Its know-
ledge 20 Smiths enrolled in school.
The Browns come In second with
15 members in their "family. Run-
ning a close third are the 14 Wil-
llamscs. Fair competition for the
title of most common name on the
campus are the Johnsons Martins
and the Joneses.
Nor must we overlook the great
number of other names which we
hear every day. Probably the most
common of these are Adams Bak-

Foster Green Harris Hill Jackson
King Lewis Morgan Nelson Park-

er Wallace White Wilson ana
others too numerous to mention.
Now for a little contrast let's
look at a few of the more seldom
heard names or those with an
amusing note (no reflection on the
so-colled). There arc Axe Bear Fox
Seal Bird Wolfe Berry Ivy Clubb
Kite Day Knight Christmas Frost

Quite a variation of personalities
don't you think? But they all go to
make up Hardin-Simmons the best
in the West.

Gonque Rofim lickl
By BILLIE WHITE
"Hey everyone lookl . . . A-w-w
you've waited too long it's stop-
ped." That is more or less the battle-
cry of all the Cowgirls as they strug-
gle to conquer the Cowgirl rope
New Cowgirls are having the time
of their lives and it is a great
moment for one when she can an
nouncc that she is able to twirl her
"little rope" while holding it only
with her teeth.
It is traditional for the old mem
bers to move up a hitch and twirl
the big ropes instead of the small
ones. Several old members wouldn't
mind changing that tradition for the
simple reason that they nearly hang
themselves when the big rope starts
circling around them.
Perhaps you have heard a shrill
scream at about 5:15 on some days.
There was not reason for alarm
it was probably merely an old mem-
ber who nearly managed to keep
the rope twirling while lying down
on the ground. Another cause for
excitment comes when a new mem-
ber twirls the small rope around her
body by changing hands.
But roping isn't the only thing
the Cowgirls arc practising. They
march too and it docs have its ad
vantages. Marching helps that girl-
ish figure. It's fun too even though
there comes a time in every Cow-
girl's life when everyone is out of
step but her. In a case like this
no matter how hard she tries It is
impossible to get everyone else back
in step so she joins ranks with the
others.
Bit by bit the uniforms are being
gathered up and patched together.
By the way ifyou see a Cowgirl
with a gold blouse and bright green
"coo-lots" never fear! Her mother
has only used five boxes of Rit on
them and has two more to go.

will never forget the look of utter
horror that comes across a chemist's
lab student's face as he watched a

Fish Now About
Settled Had Hard
Time First Few Days
Br DOROTHY KINCAID
How were "us freshmen" to know
that A. H. stood for Abilene hall
rather than Algebraic Highlights or
American History?
Take for instance the freshman
who after much inquiry learned the
meaning of these two letters. He
found the hall and struggled up the
stairs under his heavy load of books
in search of Vernon's algebra class
room.
In the noise and confusion he
finally distinguished the words
"Room 30 on the third floor". After
climbing another flight of stairs the
fish was forced to find himself a
chair and drag It into the over-
crowded room.
Just as he dropped Into it he heard
the teacher say "Now Dr. Vernon
teaches this course too. The class
is downstairs in room 24." Where-
upon the exhausted freshman took
up his load and stumbled back down-
stairs to a room still more crowded
than the one before.
The fish pulled in enough extra
scats for the girls who were standing.
Then he sank into his own in utter
exhaustion. Somewhere for away
he could hear the voice of a teacher
giving assignments and telling the
general outline to study for the
American history students who
didn't have . . . American History!
The freshman sat up in horror and
stared at the teacher while the other
students looked on in surprise.
"I've been trying to study algebra
all morning and nobody will let
me" said the freshman.
'"'Oh you mean MR. Vernon the
algebra teacher. He's down the hall
In room 21."

JtamlUtU Old
Jlandt at Ridina
By CHRIS JACKSON
Hardin-Simmons has a number of
champion riders on the campus
including Jessie Myers prize-winning
sponsor from Hamlin.
Jessie started riding at the age
of three when she and two other
children in her family would go
into the field where her father was
working and ride the work horses.
About ten years ago Mr. Myers
bought Spinner a Spanish paint
which Jesse rode.
At this time the family lived in
the vicinity of Coleman. Later they
moved to Clearfork Brazos and then
to Hamlin where they have re-
sided since. Jessie's first rodeo per-
formance was in the All-Kid rodeo
at the Double Heart ranch where
all the contestants were under 10
years of age. Jessie was 13 at the
time and for her first professional
show in Midland came in 1943 when
she was 16.
Besides cash Jessie has won two
evening bags a sterling silver vanity
case a Hobbs horse trailer and three
saddles. All her prizes have been
won as Hamlin's sponsor.
The two horses in Jessie's life at
present are Dan her own personal
mount and Lady one of Hardin-
Simmons' six white horses.
Her favorite attire for ordinary rid-
ing consists of bluo jeans big shirts
and old boots.
A student in Hamlin schools from
the fourth grade Jessie was a mem-
ber of the volleyball team tennis
team Junior Literary club Junior
Schubert Music club and leader of
the pep squad.
Jessie is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. R. M. Myers of Hamlin.

MAKE-UP TRICKS There's a right way and a wrong way to make
up for school dates and other moments in everyday living as these girls
are learning in Miss Elthel Johnson's Charm course. The course is listed
on the regular academic schedule as a part of the Physical Education
program. Left to right are Jean Terry sitting on the floor; Vaughney
Holliday. Kathryn Ball and Mrs. Bill Holt all standing) and Mrs. Bill

are still in a mess and it will take
quite some time to straighten out
all of them.
But probably the most confused
place on the campus is the Book-
store one of the most popular "hang-
outs" on or near the campus. Of
course we all realize it is too small.
When 1700 students try to get their
mail at one time or try to get to
the soda bar what is normally a
well regulated affair turns into a
mad house. People push and stomp
and kick trying to get through and
some times a few really get shoved
around.
The personnel behind the counter
do not have an easy time of it either.
Some students ore always demand
ing something thdl is impossible to
obtain. And usually they blame
everyone in the Book store because
it is unavailable. The clerks take
abuse from everysidc.
Perhaps you wonder why I am
saying all this when I certainly
realize that everyone knows the
situation. For one reason only: With
all that occurs in the Bookstore;
with the rush and noise and con-
fusion that goes on day in and day
out Mr. Bradley manager of the
store has never complained to any-
one. He has never been known
to lose his patience with any of the
students who can be so unreason-
able at times and everyone will
agree I believe that he should be
commended for his tolercnce with
the "screaming mob."
Who's Who-
The largest and most colorful
marching demonstration to be wit-
nessed in West Texas since the war
was presented to the spectators of
the Hardin-Slmmons-West Texas
State football game played In Abl-
lcne's Fair Park Stadium last night.
More than 160 members of the
Hardin-Simmons university Cow-
boy band and Cowgirl bands and
the West Texas State college Buff-
alo band participated in the gala
performance.
Approximately 75 members of the
West Texas State groups attended
the game according to M. J. New
man director of the Buffalo band
The combined H-SU bands have
86 members. The Cowboy band is
in the lead with 45 of which ten
are prewar veterans. The girls fol-
low in membership with 41.
This was the Cowboy band's first
post-war between - halves perfor-
mance in Abilene and the first
marching appearance of the Cow-
girl band in Abilene in the history
of the organization. Prior to the
war the girls did only concert work.
In addition to the musical groups
51 cowboy boosters the Cowgirls
gave a display of fancy and trick
roping. Will Watson sheriff of the
Cowboy band and five coeds lead
the parade on the university's cele-
brated six white horses.
