Beit of) luck and Qaod Wiikei.
To those of you who nrc leaving the campus with degrees
and new futures on behalf of the student body we .wish you a
happy future. May you find that the mental spiritual and
social life which you have enjoyed on the forty acres will be
a daily guide and aid to you.
To those of you who are taking a vacation until fall may
we wish for you a pleasant vacation and a prosperous college
year. The Brand will be resumed with the fall semester with
Wayland Yates as editor. Through its pages you will again be
able to follow the campus activities sports fine arts music
and general events.
Now that it is almost ended the summer session wasn't
nearly as bad as we tried to believe it was and the fall seems
oven more promising of good things because we have worked
this summer.
Sj 7Uu Could jjtf Jtapp.
If it were possible to turn back the clock for one day as a
departing senior I would certainly take advantage of the oppor-
tunity. I would crowd into that one "dream-day" many
activities.
The first thing I would do on this "dream-morning" would
bo to eat breakfast at the beanery and I would complain about
the food like students always do. I would choose to attend one
Prof. Bond's eight o'clock classes and let him read Browning
and talk about casting and fishing. I would find my old box
at the bookstore just loaded and packed with letters and a nice
check from home.
I would then attend several classes and hear Miss Maude
King read from Hamlin Garland's SON OF THE MIDDLE
BORDER Dean Stephenson lecture on the present political
situation Mrs. Helen Dow Baker translate a Latin fable Prof.
J. D. Osborne in one of his lectures when all the class wanted to
talk and Dr. Hoyt Ford lecturing quietly giving out all of that
information so easily.
At chapel time I would want the Cowboy Band to play the
Sabre Dance and the Whistler and his Dog. I would want
Pres. Richardson to lecture again in his humorous way on "How
Not to Find a Job." I would like to hear Dean .Walton make
those brief and catalogued announcements in his rapid manner
and then I'd want about 15 students to call after chapel meet-
ings for class meetings Players FTA Cowgirls Alpha Psi
Veterans and all the town clubs.
That afternoon I would like to slip off with my senior class
on sneak day and get blistered and tired from putting too much
recreation into a few hours. That night I would go to a football
game a Tech game too. I would pick out a favorite date and
he would bring a gold 'mum tied with the purple and gold
ribbon. I would like to stand for "Hardin-Simmons Hail to
Thee ! ' ' just before the kick-off. I would like to see Little Doc
Mobley push down the field for a touchdown and Hook Davis
run one through. Just one more time I'd like to see Al Johnson
throw one of those long passes to Bullet Cook for another six
points and I'd like for Coach to send Tony Poulos in for the
extra points. I'd like for Bill Foley to turn flips for Billie
White to lead a yell and Maewyn Bailey Leroy Hall Bob
Erwin or Marigene Sellers.
That night I'd have 12 o'clock privileges and when it came
time to go to the dorm I'd find my favorite roommate in our
same old room. I would like to sit up and talk until 2 :00 a.m.
and before I went to bed I 'd take that alarm off of 6 :00 and I 'd
never wake up at that early hour again. Before I went to sleep
I think I'd be apt to recall Dean Walton's words in chapel
"Teach us Lord to be too big to be little."
It is all over now for a great many but the finals and the
long march but it has been worth it. It is the commencement of
another life. Best of luck to each of you ! D.L.L.

THE JOY OF BEING AN
EDITOR
Getting out this paper is no
picnic.
If we print jokes people say we
are silly.
If we don't they say we are too
serious.
If we stick close to the office all
day
We ought to be around hunting
material.
If we go out and try to hustle
We ought to be on the job in the
office.
If we don't print contributions
We don't appreciate genius;
And if we do print them the
paper is filled with junk!
If we edit the other fellow's
write-up we're too critical; y
If we don't we are asleep. ?X
If we clip things from other pa-
pers We're too lazy to write them our-
selves. If we don't we are stuck on our
own stuff.
Now like as not some guy will
say
We swiped this from some paper.
We did!
