KAT IN THE KENNEL

Pete Mobbs, Larry Hill, and Junior Allen agree that those football jackets are a perfect Christmas gift — but for the girls or the boys?

No, it couldn’t be Western Week; try We Love Abe Lincoln Week. Nope? Then why are Don Hall, Jerry Landgraf and Buzzy Pruett sporting the bearded look? After all, Gillette blades — with the s-h-a-r-p-e-s-t edge on earth and twenty-thousand tiny filters — are still only five cents a package.

Mary, we hear that you have taken up knitting. Are you enjoying it?

Wayne, what were you passing around at the B. S. U. winter-roast last week? We hear the “supply” was much greater than the “demand.”

The radio is on. One out of six Texarkanians is listening to the news broadcast — intelligently given by Eldon Ross. As the listener strives to concentrate, carefully considering each item of news, his thought processes are rudely interrupted by a half-muffled . . . giggle?

Yes, Santa Claus, there really is a Texarkana College. Formerly T. C. was not on your regular route of customers. This tragic error was possibly due to the size, unattractive appearance, or perhaps was possibly due to the size, unattractive appearance, or perhaps to the influence of the W. D. N. L. S. C (We Do Not Love Santa Claus) group which was active on campus until this year. We are happy to announce that T. C. has a chance of becoming a four year college, the campus and the Student Union building are definitely eye-catchers, and the W. D. N. L. S. C. has been unanimously liquidated. The students of T. C. at last feel worthy to ask for a place on your Christmas list. It is with humble respect that we post our own “wish list.”

1. An automatic grading system which would promote better student-teacher relations and give the teachers more time for the snack bar.

2. A third bell for tardy students.

3. Credited classes in underwater pen-writing and advanced basket-weaving.

4. Two thousand post cards inscribed “Yes, Virginia, there really is a Santa Claus.”
