Following the musical numbers given by Tyler artists, President Clough introduced the members of the Faculty. Several of the leaders who were instrumental in establishing the Tyler Junior College, Mr. Thell Williams, Mr. J.C.Hale, Mr. Gus Taylor, and Mr. A.F. Sledge, made short talks. Mr. Clough introduced Dr. M. Faber, the principal speaker, as a former Regent of the University of Texas. Dr. Faber gave the history of the school system of Tyler from the opening year, 1881, to the establishment of the Tyler Junior College -- the highest attainment for the Tyler Schools. FACULTY PARTY ON OCTOBER 29, 1926, the first social function of the Tyler Junior College was held in the gymnasium, when the Faculty entertained the students. The college colors of black and gold, emphasizing the decorative scheme, were much in keeping with the Hallowe'en spirit, which greatly added to the gayety of the evening. After various games and contests, entered into enthusiastically by both students and Faculty with a feeling of loyalty and good fellowship, had enlivened the program, the group gathered around the piano to learn the college yells and songs. At the close of the evening, refreshments were served. The party dispersed to the tune of "Good Night, Ladies," each manifesting his appreciation for one of the most enjoyable events of the year. JUNIOR COLLEGE BANQUET ON DECEMBER 3, 1926, the student body of the Tyler Junior College entertained for the Faculty with a banquet in the ballroom of the Blackstone Hotel. The tables, arranged in the form of a "T," were banked with southern smilax, from the midst of which twinkled yellow candles in crystal holders. College pennants and black and gold streamers further carried out the college colors. The delicious menu consisted of fruit cocktail, turkey, dressing, peas in potato cups, hot rolls, combination salad, olives, crackers, osgood pie, and coffee. The courses were interspersed with beautiful musical selections rendered by Lena Solomon, Agnes Tarbutton, and John Hamilton. Then Toastmaster Warren McDonald called on President Clough. After-dinner speeches by members of the Faculty followed, the climax of which was reached when Mr. Nelson declared he would "make it short," as "the longer the spoke, the larger the tire." This banquet made history for Tyler Junior College. It was resolved to make such an affair an annual function. TYLER JUNIOR COLLEGE ORGANIZATIONS & ATHLETICS WERE NOT COPIED.
