Judge Barron
Addresses
Study Club
* Tn keeping with its planned
"Keys to Happiness” programs for
the year, the Campus Study Club
heard Judge W. S. Barron Tuesday
speak on “Faith In Government
a Key to Happiness.”
Judge Barron defined happiness
as “the by-product of work well
done.” He s&id that if government
is to contribute to its citizens’ hap
piness, it must have stability and
benevolence.
“Citizens should know the his
tory of their government,” the
judge said. He stressed the impor
tance of teaching history in all
schools.
Judge Barron traced the history
of the United States government
through numerous crises, showing
that these crises, while trying men,
have also disciplined and trained
them. This discipline has, in turn,
helped to stabilize the government,
he said.
“The most important duty of a
citizen,” Judge Barron said, “ is to
year fine men and women.”

Handicraft Lady
Needed a t MSC
By VIVIAN CASTLEBERRY
While most folks were scurrying to cover in Monday’s
cold sleety weather, a few happy souls were going about
with smiles that started way down in the old tickers and
ended up on the lips . .. and sparkled out in the twinkling of
an eye. These happy ones were people from the Cold Coun
try, which is located way up north and east. Mary Houston
from Warspite, Alberta, Canada, sounded thrilled as we
chatted with her over phone. A glance out into the snow-
covered world took her momentarily way up Canada-way.
She admitted, though, that she rather likes the warmth
around these parts for a steady “diet.” . .. Elaine Lester of
the MSC from Bardwell, Kentucky, was bubbling over. “I
just brought out my fur coat, headed out into the weather
and feel won-derful!” she enthused. Jean Robbins from
Washington, D.C., was another that had an added sparkle
in her eyes over the cold weather ... Helen Pringle, a native
of New York, was for “more, much more weather just like
this,” as she went about her nursing duties at the College
Hospital. . . So we have weather, good, bad or indifferent,
and usually we find somebody who likes it!
•
Cedric Copeland came home from his weekend fishing
trip at Caddo Lake and told friends about the big ones
that got away. Fishing-mates Murray Holditch and Bob
Arrington added the one about Cedric falling out of the
boat and having to swim ashore. Cedric insists that some
body tipped the boat.
•
Around and about we saw: Martha and Ray Falke, the Roger
Cosletts all dressed up Sunday morning and headed for church ....
the Rutledges, Jerry and Bill, on their way to Waco to meet her
folks from West Texas for the weekend . . . Tommy and Peggy Davis
and their young ones chuckling merrily as they came out of the Cam
pus Theater where they had just viewed “Harvey.”. ... Trailers and
trucks galore emptying their contents into vacant college apartments
as January graduate vacancies are filled up again with new faces,
new names. . . . It would be a long story and a good chance at the
best success story ever written if students who occupy college apart
ments would leave as they graduate, the tales that nave happened to
them. Wonder how many people would believe them? Actually the
true stories of the lives of college apartment dwellers would rival
some of the best fiction.
•
Sick call at the College Hospital has been running overtime as
boys go by to get sore throats mopped out, colds checked, aches and
pains taken care of ... too much weather? Too many finals? Too much
fun? .... Very ill for the past two weeks has been Lora Langford,
who, as this is written, hopes she’ll be back to the office soon.
MISSING PERSONS: Student Activities Office is
trying to locate one Miss Dagney Miskala. Among our
mail on Monday came a letter addressed to the lady from
a service man in Juneau, Alaska. It looks mighty interest
ing, and we’re sure she would like to have it. But where
do we find her?
•
HANDY WITH YOUR HANDS? This is to student wives and it
comes direct from Chris F. Gent of the Memorial Student Center. The
Center is looking for a student wife who is interested in handicraft
work to assist in instruction of a women’s group. The Center prefers
someone who has done some handicraft work. She will be trained fur
ther by one of the instructor there before she takes over. Any girl who
is interested in a delightful job should contact Mrs. Estha Nowlin at
4-6124.
Our nomination for “Burr of the Year”: Fred Walker, who is
sporting the burr to end all burrs. We first thought he had a barber
with an odd sense of humor, but Fred assures us that the hair cut was
intentional and just what he ordered. Now comes the acid test. This
week Fred is expecting fiancee Audrey Caughey down from Denton.
If she can stand that, wedding plans will go forward!

her while she answered four tele
phones, talking over one and then
the other while both hands searched
her files trying to locate the parties
that long distance was trying to
contact. Geneva said she had it
figured that most of the calls were
from mothers who’d just as soon
their sons didn’t try to come back
home in the family cars over slick
icy roads. Geneva was doing jus
tice to her job, but said she’d just

want you driving home today!”

About the only nice thing
we’ve found about putting out a
newspaper short-handed is that
we can slip in a word or so
about the editors and they aren’t
around to use their pencils on
our copy. To the tune of “It’s a
Hap-Hap-Happy Day,” Dave Cos-
lett was beaming around the
Batt office after the weekend
which he had spend in Ballinger
and Miles with his pretty school
teacher, Marilyn Bowden. If we
were around he’d no doubt yell
“You can’t print that!” but the
truth is Dave is walking around
these days like a man-in-a-dream.

MORE ON MISS PERONSAL-
ITY. Votes are coming in for nom
inations for The-Girl - With - The

more votes, want everybody on the
campus Who talks over a telephone
to send in their nominations. We’ll
run the contest for another two
