AN EX-WAITER'S WAIL
F. G. AGEE
Oh fellow students, '' '
Listen unto me, and I will tell you,
What has happened to rae!
I used to be one of you, •
I served hash at the Dump,
But now I'm in the desert,
Like a cainel without a hump.
To me it was a misery
To serve the food to you,
I used to think I- was the goat,
But now I'm sad and blue.
You remember the night of the
King's coronation,
All the counts and the no-accounts
Were there,
Breathing gentle zephyrs from the
Plains,
With seemingly no outward care;
But Daniel, when ordered . to come
Forth,
Came fifth, and how the Queen did
Stare!
I thought it brave to graduate
And get my skin of sheep,
But now I get so lonely,
I don't get but 12 hours of sleep.
Hear my cry, oh people of the
World,
Aiid take my humble plea, , "
Don't get too smart .arid graduate,
And be a wreck like rno!
OUR FOOTBALL CROWDS
YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TO-
MORROW
Yesterday we wrere preparing to
■.enter college. Today we are in
college preparing for the future.
Tomorrow we will take our place
in the . world as men and women.
; Yesterday we were children grow-
ing up. and forming habits that
will stay with us through life, Few,
■very . few, of.- us evKV thought of
life seriously, ;
. Yesterday we were quite, young,
And. happy all the day;
•. Joyous were ;the songs we ■ sang
. : To pass ■ the time-away.
Today we are in college, and
q, few of us. are thinking seriously
of the future. We. are trying to
cast aside, our,bad habits and form
good ones. We are trying to over-
come ignorance and we are 'pre-
paring ourselves to became good,
useful citizens.
Today we are much older, grown,
Too soon will be the morrow,
,. ...When we shall reap what we have
... ; ... sown " . . , ■
Of pleasure or of. sorrow;
Tomorrow we will ■-.•be--perform-
ing-our, duties as men and women,

;we ;undertake?.Our happiness and
success tomorrow depends upon how
we are spending our lime today. If

.Which member of our faculty
has never been guilty of acquiesing?:
' The, „ following "conversation w^s
heard on the campus recently:

:"Yes!Siam, I'm '-Hjmgary too."

As; loitering is "unlady Tike" I
did not hear the last of what was
said—if it was. 1
Jackie and Ruth are gay little girls,
Who often are prone to giggle,
But Thelma is of different sort—
The kind that's full of 'wiggles,
.Bess is so quiet, and dignified (?)

Ludie Nell Sawyer is a shy little
miss,
Who smiles, though the world
goes wrong.
Edith and Ruth are friendly to all,
But we haven't known them long,
Wilma and Margie are prominent
ones, ' . .

JUST THINK OF IT!
Miss Prentiss Looney as a "Cling-
ing Vine." t~..
Miss Gough as a dangerous
. vamp.
Mr. Howell with a soulful and
Oh! that dreamy air.
• Mr. Ferguson as a bold bad cow-
boy.
• Miss Barekman as a "pretty little
butterfly flittiijg through life."
Mr, Davis (S. F.) as a tough
desperado:
Mr, Rankin as a Mexican bandit,"
Miss- Hilswick as a strong farm
hand. ■' . ■ '
" Mr. Eaves as .a movie star. : ,
Think .of it! ■/'. ; 1.
It makes us lausrh!
- The total gate receipts of the
first football game, with Clifton'
College, were $116. The game with
the McMurry Indians drew $115i
The cost of the first game was about
$130, and of the second, 226. This
leaves a deficit of some $124. The
student fees, ' of course, are not
counted. It develops, however, that
the student fees just about pay for
the equipment, and . unless the
crowds got. better, the Athletic De-
partment 'is going to face a t'nun-
cial proposition before the year is
out.'
We have only one ., explanation
for these crowds, and that is the
jlack of publicity. It may be that
jour students are not telling folks
, to come to our games; that bur
, friends on the outside are too busy
j to ask a neighbor to come out; and
j that we are. not getting sufficient
' publicity from local and outside .re-
porters; Coach Wisdom is making
' a supreme effort to make the .de-
partment self sustaining, and so far,
has met with decided success. The
' grandstand, field .. development,
training, camp, i bleachers, etc., ..have
been: taken care of .without 'outside
subscriptions,Let us urge that
everyone get down to work and
. help, increase the attendance. The'
prices charged for the college games
are exceedingly low, lower ,in fact,
than: most of the big high school
games, and we see no reason why.
all of-us can not boost for bigger
crowds. Stephenville is a city of
4,000 people, and the surrounding
country is very densely populated.
.We believe that if the proper pub-
licity is developed, great crowds
.will throng to, our games,.
