John Henry Faulk:
Sports Banquet MC
The master of cei’emonies for the
fall sports banquet to be held in
Sbisa Dining Hall Saturday night
will be John Henry Faulk.
Although Faulk is nationally
known as a humorist, his career
began with emphasis on the serious
side of life. An authority on the
language and folklore of our
American heritage, he taught Eng
lish at the University of Texas. He
lectured a class in philosophy at
Yale. And, on a Rosenwald Fellow
ship he collected Southern folklore
and songs for the Library of Con
gress.
Early in World War II, he served
in the American Merchant Marine,
sailing on oil tankers to England.
After his ship was torpedoed, he
became an assistant field director
for the American Red Cross in the
Middle East. Later, he was ac
cepted in the Armed Forces on
limited service and served in the
Medical Corps of the United States
Army.

Twelve Years on Radio
Then Faulk began to chop in
mighty tall cotton, as his relatives
would say, in radio and television.
For twelve years he had his own
programs on national networks,
originating in the New York stu
dios of the Columbia Broadcasting
System, the National Broadcasting
Company, and the American Broad
casting Company.

New Assistant
Coach Hiring
In the Air
Some of A&M’s assistant foot
ball coaching problems may be
in the process of being solved.
Nothing definite has been re
leased as to the hiring of any
new athletic staff members* but
there is a strong chance that Ty
Bain of Kilgore High School will
be named to one of the positions.
It was learned yesterday that
Bain has resigned his present po
sition at Kilgore, effective Jan.
20 and althought he didn’t name
a school, he said he will accept
a position in the Southwest Con
ference.
Bain began his coaching career
in Jasper after graduating from
Texas Tech. He only stayed at
Jasper one year after a 5-5 sea
son. Next he was coach in his
hometown of Mexia and in three
years compiled a 30-6 record, win
ning three district championships
and going to the state finals.
For the last nine years the 43-
year-old Bain has been in Kilgore
where he compiled a 63-28-3 rec
ord.
dialect to the interpreting of
America’s commonly experienced
culture. His uniqueness as an en
tertainer is that of the folklorist
whose tall tales are coated with
layers of commonly held ideas,
values and behavior patterns.
Like Jayne Mansfield and Presi
dent Eisenhower who, according to
Faulk, “got too big for the state
to hold them,” the humorist was
born in Texas.
Talks About Texas
And the speeches he now makes I
before audiences all over the coun- j
try are embellished with blue
bonnets and mockingbirds, remi
niscent of barbecues and political
rallies, full of hound dogs and long- '
horns and an assortment of kin- :
folks. Living now in Austin, where i
he and his wife, Lynne, have an'i
advertising business, he absorbs i
what he calls the bittersweet flavor i
of the region and presents it with
his own philosophy.
In Will Rogers Class
Critics have often compared
Faulk to Will Rogers and Mark
Twain, whose humor also served
up great truths and pinpointed sig- j
nificant facts in the day’s news.
Even though he quotes a cousin
“whose mind is no bigger than a
blackeyed pea” or an old preacher
who seems to place the Battle of
the Philistines near Dallas, he sug
gests universal themes on which
the mind may linger and the heart
may dwell long after the immediate
laughter he inspires.
