'Ann to Hawaii' Campaign
To Get Underway Monday
Preliminary competition in the
E. P. Mead Freshman Speaking
Contest will be held at 2 p. m.
on Tuesday May 6 in room 205
of Abilene Hall at Hardin-Simmons
University.
Semi-finals will be held at 3
p. m. on the same day while the
finals will be held at 7 p. m.
Thursday May 15 in room 202
of Abilene Hall.
Students who are enrolled in
Speech 113 or 123 are eligible to
enter the contest which is spon-
sored by Mr. E. P. Mead of the
Mead Bakery in Abilene. The
contest was started four years
ago.
Two $25 scholarships are
awarded to the winners of the
contest are going to the highest
ranking man the other to the
top ranking woman. Second
place winners in each division get
$15 each while the third place
students get $10 each.
Miss Emogene Emery head of
the H-SU speech department
and Claude Hicks director of
Ferguson Hall will direct the conf
test.
"I do not believe there is any
other speech event on this cam-
pus that improves the students
speaking as much as does this
one particular contest" Miss
Emery said.
Each student's speech must be
stimulating and although it may
contain some humor its overall
aspect must be serious in nature.
The speech must be from five to
seven minutes in length.
Other rules for the contest will
be posted in Abilene Hall on the
bulletin board near room 205.
An upperclass speaking contest
is also scheduled.

This week end promises to be
the biggest week on the campus
this year and thus far it has
proven to be just that.
With everything going western
this week we'll turn the spot light
on the western side of the music
scene. Earlier in the week I
heard a person from the north
"How About Winging Ann
Into the Islands" is the slogan
for the fund raising campaign
sponsored by the Hardin-Simmons
BSU to help send Ann
Smith to Hawaii as a summer
missionary.
The campaign will get under
way Monday April 28 and will
run through Monday May 5."
The H-SU goal has been set at
$600 $80 of which has already
been received. "If every one
connected with H-SU . . . day
students night students married
students single students faculty
and others would contribute 75c
per person to the fund they can
reach their part of the total fund
being raised throughout the
Tennessee state" said Barbara Oliver chair-

"Special exhibits a film and re-
freshments are all a part of activi-
ties planned by the H-SU chap-
ter of the Student Education As-
sociation for High School Day
Saturday" Dr. Clyde Jetton an-
nounced. All displays wil be shown in
the lobby of Mary Frances Hall.
Pictures of present and past of-
ficers along with statements tell-
ing of honors they have received
will be featured in one display.
Another display will show pic-
tures identifying professors in the
Division of Education.
Displays prepared by Dr. E. L.
Bowden's Methods class will show

ing medium.
Exhibits prepared by classes of
Miss Ethel Hatchett and Miss
Opalmae Howard will relate to
curriculum at the elementary
A film presented by the Texas
State Teachers Association relat
ed to a career in teaching will be
shown intermittently throughout
the day.
"The Hardin-Simmons chapter
of the Student Education Associa-
tion was the first issued in Tex-
as" Dr. Jetton said. It was
originally the Jefferson Davis
chapter of Future Teachers of
America only last year changed
to Student Education Association.
The original charter will be dis-
played along with the new one.
Dr. Jetton said that one of
H-SU's own professors Miss
Ethel Hatchett originated the
chapter.
Fifteen students that are mem-
bers of the H-SU chapter of SEA
will serve as guides for the high
school students throughout the
day.
Punch will be served in room
100 of Mary Frances Hall begin-
ning Saturday morning and con-
tinuing through mid-afternoon.
man. "This is strictly a volun-
tary campaign and no one is un-
der obligation to contribute. We
want people to contribute be-
cause they see the need for mis
sionary work and want to have a
part of winning souls -in other
countries to Christ."
Coming events for the coming
campaign are a sandwich sale to
be held April 28; a car wash to
be held May 3; and a doughnut-
brownie sale to be held on May 5.
Throughout the week there will
be various "teaser posters" put up
on the campus in which you are
to try to figure them out. Then
at a later time an answer will
be posted explaining the teaser.
Students on the Stewardship
Committee are Martha Lightfoot
Jerry Henson Ann Boone Ivan
Davidson Troy Williamson Tillie
Himstedt Fay Hooker Gay
Longacre Jane Grimes Edwin
Peoples Bud Hill Gayle Patrick
Palmer McGown Mary Truly
and Ivan and Lyndal Sinclair.
Sharon Tucker '58-'59 Steward-
ship chairman will also assist in
the campaign. All freshmen on
this committee are 'members of
the Freshman BSU Executive
Council.
"We of the committee as well
as others who know Ann feel
that she is very worthy and cap-
able to be sent and that she will
endeavor to advance the work of
Christ in Hawaii" said Betty
Oliver chairman.
Mathis Attends
Music Festival
ui. jiriiuaiii o. XYxaniio ucan yx
tne Jtiaram-bimmons University
School of Music attended the
Florida Vocal Association State
Festival in Tampa last week.
The festival is a meeting of all
students who were winners in the
district festival held earlier this
year. High school students from
all over the state participated.
Dr. Mathis adjudicated the
choral entries from the various
high schools throughout the two
day meet. A concert was given
Saturday night by the massed
choirs of the participating schools.
Dr. Mathis conducted that con-
cert. A native of Florida Dr. Mathis
was reared in Tampa and has
taught in Tampa and schools in
northwest Florida. In addition
he formerly taught in the School
of Music at Florida State University.
f
say something about he couldn't
see why anyone could like west-
ern or hillbilly music. No sooner
had he said this than a friend of
mine from Texas (naturally) said
"Man during Fracas Week we
don't know there is any other
kind."
There are many top tunes in the
western field that have been
turned over to pop and became
big hits there also. One of the
more recent of these is an old
Hank Williams tune "You Win
Again" and one even more recent
is his "Mv Buckets Got. A TTnlr
In It." This one is done up now
by Ricky Nelson and is moving
very good in the pop field.
Posibly the biggest top record
in the western field is "Teenage
Queen" by Johnny Cash backed
up by "Big River." Both sides
of this one are really going the
"Teenage Queen" with the pop
fans .and the "Big River" with
the western fans.
If you can find time this week
end to see a movie here is a
schedule of Abilene's finest flick-
ers: Paramount "Sheepman" with
Glen Ford.
