Spooners Finally Get
Organized Elect
Scrimshire Prexy
Most recent organisation on
the McMurry campus is "The
Spooners" club This club was or-
ganbed gradually over period
of two weeks Tach member hag
a silver spoon which ho wears at
all possible times If any student
gels a spoon he will automatical-
ly become a member of "The
Spooners " At present time there
are five members and one pledge
Helen Dwjcr is the pledge be-
cause of the fact that the spoon
she has is only a cheap Jtn.tAt.on J
nnd not n siKcr spoon When sho
gels a silver spoon she will bc-
comt a full-fledgLd member
Of coutse the club is n secret

Dead Week Explained

the Lcntfit of oui dear littte
slimes that dead week is not the
time when all celestial braves re
turn fiom the happy hunting
giound to haunt the old reser-
vation again It is so I've been
told a time when all good In-
dians are supposed to study so
that they won't get indigestion
cramming the night before ex-
ams It is as the name implies a
week in which all activities arc
dead Indians can go to no war
dances scalping picnics or have
any dates.
Miss Christopher told her last
year's English class that it was a
week reserved to do all the things
we have not had time to do before
This j ear however she is a little
more hopeful that we arc getting
back to the old old custom of do-
ing a little studjing during dead
week
So fni there has not been a
single picnic to orcak the silence
of dead week on the rcsirvation
