ECHOES PROM NEW ANNEX
We are seriously considering
■ I putting oh a winter style show.
There's no doubt but that we
have the necessary equipment!
With Fish Ging's new dress and
ranicoat, Happy's new navy
blue dress, Bonnie Lee's' new
black Qoat, and all of our clean
ch ainbray's, we can surely cause
a complete upheaval in the
styles of the world.
Jusit recently "vve have awak-
ened to the astounding iact that
the: future well-being of this
; great nation is resting upon our
young shoulders. We have never
before given it much consider-
ation, but now we are resolved
that \ve shall cease to be entire-
ly worthless, Hazen is going to
hop tables until she gets mar-
ried, and Ber'nice is planning to
tpach English. until she lands
. Jler' man. As soon as Creager
: quit^s chaperoning, she is going
to continue her work as an of-
ficer of the law in recapturing
: ex-convicfs. Eloise has decided
to manicure ; nails at some
health resort or beach, prefer-
ably Glen Rose, Texas. Modena
■,is yearning to be a Salvation
Army worker, but she will have
to' overcome her quiet ways in
order to mix with the public'
better. Perhaps Tarleton Col-
lege will some day be the for-
tunate school in securing Cath-
erine Looney as night (knight)
watchman. It is her fullest in-
tention to See that all' girls are
in their : rooms by ten o'clock
each night that privileges are
granted. Each of us were over-
joyed to learn that one of our
girls is. preparing to devote her
time to a very noble cause. Fish
Coker intends to be a nun. We
. are still rather timid about re-
vealing our ambitions, but we
are endeavoring to live up to
our ideals, so perhaps if you
•will watch us; closely, our ac-
tions may. reveal the vocation
that we have chosen.
Professionally yours,

)Ve've certainly been walking
carefully and taking our time
while going through the kitchen
door since Pete did such a won-
derful job of oiling the floor
Saturday. It is truly a work' of
art, but we might suggest that
he spread the oil the same depth
over the whole floor. As yet no
calamities have occurred, ex-
cept Beth's falling and taking
up a liberal amount of the oil
.around the waiter's table. Alma
was so certain that she would
slip down that .I think she was
a bit disappointed when she did
not.
Lady, Velma, and Witte were
the lucky ones this week-end.
Alma, Mary, and Porter never
leave. They say they're going
home Thanksgiving, but we
doubt it.
You've missed a treat if
you've never heard "Baby" Peg-
gy sing, "My . Bungalow of
Dreams" and "After My Laugh-
ter Came Tears." j These songs
are especially inspiring with
the rattle and clash of dishes as
an accompaniment. ■
Fpncyne has reserved the
right (we don't know whether
its property right, citizen right,
or unalienable right. Possibly
just plain old table-hop right)
to be first on desserts from now
until1 the end of time. Oh,
me^nt until the end, of school
Anyone who gets desserts first
will have to do it over her dead
body.
May and Oats, who have been
substituting, have decided that
hopping tables is "sorta fun."
Did you know that Sherman
is an accomplished pianist? We
didn't until Sunday night. Now
we think he's Paderewski the
Second.
Someone said that Lady and
Porter were thinking of marry-
ing; so their husbands can help
in the dining hail. Really,
though,, I, d.Qii't think it's seri-
ous. . " "
Pete breakfasted Sunday
morning at -? Well, it wasn't
the College dining hall.
Somehow the old brain is fog.
gy tonight; so' will make up for
the scarcity of news by better
service in the dining hall.

OLD DORMITORY NEWS

edy, "Enter the Hero" to be given

the most, artistic production of the

The girls are busy on our
hall this week. We are all look-
ing forward to the grades that
are to be posted within- the next
few days; so for that reason we
are burning some "midnight
oil."
As usual a whole crowd of
girls went home this week-end.
Faye Turner, Rose, Gladys, Ve-
neta Jo, Willene, Mary Edna,
and La Verne. We are just
wondering if Faye will come
back (after she sees Otis,?) We
can't imagine why Gay didn't
waiit to go home, too.
Of course we mustn't forget
to mention Junio's company. We
were all so glad th^t he came
for several reasons. She is still
walking around as if she were
in a trance; We are going to
make Peggie explain tonight
about- her company, for we
haven't found out much about
how it all happened as yet.
Katie Mae's mother visited
her Saturday, but we waited too
long to visit her, for the cake
was all gone.,
With Biology, English, Chem-
istry, and Education to study
and a letter to write to mother,
and a chambray to press, who
could think of anything moi'e to
write when the lights wink at
ten-fifteen ?
interesting to know that she
was adviser to the first girl's'
club organized in the dormitory.
TOP OF THE WORLD
Margaret and Leta wept
Of course, there was busines.s home this w;eek-end. Leta says
FROM THE OLD DUMP
Well, here we all are in full
force for the Plowboys. Nearly
everyone in our hall has deserted
us for a while.
Doris, Willene, and Faye Pool
have gone home at last; but they
didn't intend to go till Thanksgiv-
ing.
Sallie Sue paid us a shprt visit
and took Venita Joe and. Betty Sue
home with her—-But where did
Addie go, and who was coming to
see her while' she was away? ? ?
Faye Turner went to her home
in, Santa Anna, where she really
belongs. Gay and Charlotte had
company Saturday night—a very
distinguished guest indeed, Miss
Bonnie Lee Nance.
Rose and Gladys have gone home,
—but what if Rose doesn't come
back ?"
Ann moved in our hall this week,
and we hope that she can enjoy
herself here, but she's in the big,
dark room.
Katie Mae certainly was sur-
prised Saturday morning when she
saw her mother in the door. All
that she could say was, "Oh, Ma-
ma."
Mary is looking around ,for her
another room; she's only moved
five times. 1
Peggy seems quiet this week,
but Juno had too much,of a thrill
Sunday afternoon to be normal,
What was in Estell's and Zena's
room (or the "Misery Den") Tues-
day night?
Qhristine Jiasn't found anyone
trespassing this week—we must
be very good children. .
Alma must be getting letters
from "somebody."
Marian (Sixteen) is looking for
ward to Thanksgiving, because then
she's going Jiome. She seems like
she ought to be homesick, but she
isn't,,
Faye Evans seems lost since Bet
ty Sue has gone—but she'll be back
Sunday evening.
Hettie is still -saying how easy
chemistry is. Does' she really think
that it is ?
Jessie May is gone; so we won't
say much about her. Nadine and
Jewell sure are quiet.
Jessie, Myrtle and Dixie have
gone somewhere, but we don't
know where and why.
Plowboys, we've backed you in
every game so far, and are still
backing you. ,
So Fight!
D. D. D. MEETING
Saturday night after going to
the show or circus, the members
of the D. D. D, Club met in La
Vere Neely's room, where she,
with . Kelly's aid, entertained.
Besides the club members, we
had for our guests, Miss Cleo
Hancpck from Dublin (who was
visiting Marie), and Miss Lois
Yantis from the next annex.
Our faculty adviser, Miss
Grace Wickline, met with us for
the first time; and we congratu-
late ourselves upon having chos-
en one so congenial and lovable
as she, Shq will add much to
the life of our club; ^ is q$te
to attend to; but this was neces-
sarily short, for no one could
help wondering when we; were
to eat. La Vere and Kelley did
not keep us long in suspense,
and served sandwiches (won-
derful ones, for they made
them), potato and cheese chips,
grapes, and cakes.; After each
girl had eaten enough for two
persons her size, some one
brought in a portable and we
danced until Miss Wickline de-
cided that she should be going
home or she would be posted for
being out after hours. Truly it
was an enjoyable meetnig, and
all D, D. D.'s maintain that La
Vere and Kelley are , excellent
hostesses.
THE SOILS CLASS
HAVE BIG TRIP
On Thursday morning, October
18, the Soils class met at the Ag-
ricultural Building at nine o'clock
and climbed into a trailer. One of
our number, Bacon, was absent;
and after making a circle around
the campus, we left without him.
We arrived at the farm of Mr.
Loekhart, four miles out on; the
Thurber road, at nine-thirty and
immediately started to work. First,
we walked over the farm to see
how the terraces should run. When
we had gotten on the opposite'side
of the farm, Mr. L. G. Ilich, our
instructor, sent us back to the
house after the instruments.
We brought the tools back and
set up the levels. As the Profes-
sors, Obenshane and Rich; were
making the final adjustments,
Couch and Beard had to teach
Stovall a few things. Stovall was
the youngest one in the crowd, and
all .agreed that he should be
brought up in the straight-and-nar-
row way. Pritchett claimed he got
the dirty deal; but we didn't think
so. He only had to carry the
stakes, and the rest of us had to
use- our. .brains™- MiUingion,.. Mr.
Obenshane's student, was there, but
he did not do very much.
At eleven-thirty, w'e went to
lunch. This was served ^t the
home of Mr, Carter, ttie man who
lives' dn Mr. Lockhart's farm. I
would not attempt to name every-
thing we had for dinner, but the
main things on the .menu were
cake, pie, and chicken. After we
had finished eating, we were al-
lowed to fill our pockets with pe-
cans from the pecan grove.
That afternoon, we finished the
terracing at three-thirty, and Mr.
Carter brought us back to the Col-
lege in the trailer. We had a good
time and also learned something
that is worthwhile, and we hope
that we may take a similar trip
soon.
she had a wonderful time, but
Margaret didn't seem so en-
thusiastic over the old home
town. No wonder for she has a
special interest in Tarleton (a
cadet.)
, We don't know what we are
going .to do with Katie Lee. She
had another out-of-town visitor
this week-end. We just wonder
how long we will keep her here.
Her, father and two brothers
visited her last we,ek, also.
Connie Mae Couch came and
stayed with Hortense and
Louis6 Saturday and Sunday.
Carrie and Effie invited their
friends in Saturday night, and
they all had a feast.
We have heard so much about
demerits and chaperons since
Saturday night that, we all look
like them. New things come up
all time to be stuck for—OJi,
well it's all in life. And anyone
who gets a joy out of it is wel-
come to it.
Plowboys, the game was cer-
tainly great last Friday. You
played as you should. Remem-
ber we are each and every one
backing you. Stay in there and
fight!
THE HEART O" TEXAS
CLUB HAS OUTING
On Friday evening, October
19, the Hea^t 0' Texas Club con-
tinued thdir march in high
spirits from the shirt-tail pa-
rade to the college' farm. Upon
reaching the - farm, the boys
gathered fuel for a huge fire;
while the girls unpacked the
"eats," Weiners were roasted,
njarshmallows toasted, until
hunger was banished from the
crowd. Games were played and
contests held until our sponsor
declared it time to return home ;
bait before leaving, each fresh-
man boy was required to lead
one yell. Strange as it may
seem, some were very peppy,
which showed that sonie fresh-
men do get the spirit.. The even-
ing's entertainment ended with
individual yells for Dean nad
Mrs. Davis, who were pur
guests for the evening. Dean
Davis replied with an individual
yell for the Heart 0' Texas
Club, All freshmen declared
our sponsors, Mrs. Ramey and
Mr, Gearreald, the very best all
old members had long known
the fact:—r-Club Reporter.
FORT FROLICS
The Fort wishes to congratu-
late the. team upon its glorious
game with Wesley. There is no
comparison between our team
and Grubbs!
A good many- of the Fort
members attended the circus
Saturday night to see the sights.
Fish Gresham has« been ex-
perimenting in painting, we
hear. He will not advise any-
one to follow suit, as such ex-
periments are1 expensive.
Pitts, one. of our fellow mem-
bers, has withdrawn from col-
lege.
Great wag the Excitement' in
the Fort Saturday night! Seve-
ral fish were caught grumbling
Monday night. When they were
asked what' the trouble was,
they explained that they were
just wishinCtfiatrSaturday night
was that night, so they could
use the hot water.
We are happy to announce
that Honk Irwin is back with us
again. His foot is about well
now. , .
Johnnie Edwards spent the
week-end in Huckabay,
Nat Franklin is going to open
the little candy and news stand
located in front of the college
store this week. He will appre-
ciate ybur'patronage.
Several changes have been
made in the , Fort. Story and
Cornish have changed rooms
with Eub^nks and* Hickman.
Stinson is now pie agent at
the Fort for Armstrong and
White.

We would like to trade, swap,
or give away our leading guide.
No matter how we try, we can-
not get our sponsor to look at
us. Her eyes are all for Gobble.
Anyone who can thi^k of a way
to save our little sponsor from
that guide, please report, at
once. We all think she is K.Oi
and would like to see her look at
us. -
