And so we rush out of an old year into a new one.
And in keeping with the custom of many of the weekly
and daily papers of our country the Brand pauses for a
few minutes to review 1961.
Nineteen hundred and sixty one: A new year a new
president. With the inauguration of President Kennedy
came the inauguration of new programs new ideas new
policies some of which have proven their worth while
others leave a doubt as to their success. The scientific
world has not stood still in the last year. For the first
time in its history the United States put in a man into
space which is an accomplishment in any nation's book.
Politically speaking the world lost a great friend in the
tragic and untimely death of Dag Hammarskjold the
late Secretary-General of the United Nations. The peace-
loving world has already suffered from the loss of his dip-
lomacy and tact in easing if not solving the world tens-
ions. Also on the political scene America suffered a great
loss in the death of Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn.
As one writer said referring to Mr. Sam "They don't
make those kind anymore."
Educationally speaking America has more of its citi-
zens in high school and colleges than ever before. And in
the span of some two to five years there will be an even
greater multitude of America's youth knocking on" the
doors of its colleges and universities. The students will
be there but the question is: "Will the schools be there
for them?"
The Brand now transcends the national and interna-
tional 1961 to briefly view the past year from the vant-
age point of Hardin-Simons University. Enrollment is
again on the rise. The physical plant of the University
has increased by an estimated $1 million with the in-
ventory still climbing.
Perhaps of lesser importance to the University as a
whole but nonetheless an accomplishment of 1961 was
the publication of a 1 0 page Brand believed to be the
first and only edition of this size ever published. And in
viewing the entire year it would be an injustice although
perhaps a pleasant injustice not to mention the second
straight year with a perfect loss record for the Cowboys.
With hopes high and possibilities of equal height 1962
may see a break in the record with the Cowboys captur-
ing some of the season's play.
And thus another year has become history. Years
from now our children and grandchildren will read of
1961 but you and I have been privileged to live it.

BRANDING IRON
Well here I am with my chubby
little fingers on the typewriter
keys pretending to pound out
another column. How was your
holidays ah just as I thought one
big food festival! I've never seen
so much weight rolling around
campusi I ate like food was going
out of style. In fact a sudden
hint was dropped Christmas
morning pertaining to the weight
I had gained I received this big
beautiful package and when I
opened it I found some scales
and ten gallons of metracal. They
just don't give gifts like they used
to!
There's really nothing quite
like a holiday to get away from
the drudgery of school life 408
hours with nothing to da that is
nothing outside of two term
papers 45 outside readings and
eight book reports. After two
weeks of that there's nothing
quite like school to get away from
the drudgery of holidays. I was
just about to recuperate from all
those family reunions during the
Thanksgiving holidays and along
came the Christmas holidays with
more family reunions. If you
see someone wandering about the
big forty carrying a sign with
"help stamp out relatives" in- bold
print you can be sure of who the
wild eyed brain washed kook is!
Other than too many relatives
too much studying and too much
food I had a. glorious time. Jolly
old Nick was up to his jolly old
tricks falling down the chimney
and while everyone was fast
asleep and no one was looking
going about his work filling his
sack with Mom's best silver and
Pop's best money!
And I up to my old tricks was
perched in my usual place atop
the Christmas tree making like
an angel. Naturally spying all
the loot that St. Nick was getting
away with it was my duty and
obligation to repprt such an act
to the head of our household the
boss of our family my mother!
But on the other hand being the
dutiless and unobliging creature
that I am I joined up with Nicky
boy and we shared the loot fifty-
fifty. The moral of this story is that
I now believe in Santa Claus be-
cause of him and his deeds I now
have money to go to school next
semester.
