Monday night, March 10 at 7:30
p. m. about one hundred young peo-
ple with Dean and Mrs. Davis, Mr.
Howell, and Mr. and Mrs. Jarrell
as cliaperoues cssemblcd in the base-
ment of the First Baptist cliureli.
As the young people came in they
were requested to sign their names
at the table at which Dean Davis
officiated. Mr. Howell was master
of ceremonies, and he certainly filled
the place because there was not one
idle moment. Someone ask him why
it never pays to be too curious.
Numbers of different games were
played. About the most exciting
one was an egg balancing stunt per-
formed by Major Harris- He can-
not balance eggs but he surely can
throw them. About this time a large
box of candy was passed around,
and everyone enjoyed it as well
as we would have—well several
years ago. "Honk" Erwiu and "Sis-
teen" Whitley pulled off a real de-
bate. The subject was resolved:
That the broom is more useful than
the dishrag." Of course "Ilonk"
was for the broom. One girl said
something about Ilonk getting real
poetic, but we did not hear it. Can
you feature Ilonk getting that way?
As Dean Davis was judge, Honk
won the debate easily.
-Hi'fnrp-jge realized— it,- timo had
flown so fast that it was nearing
{lie time to begin thinking of get-
ting in before hours. Six or seven
boys retired to the kitchen and
without any help from the fairer
sex served ice cream and cakes to
the group. The girls were very
kind to offer their assistance, but
as the boys had lost the contest in
Sunday school they decided they
would carry everything out by them-
selves. We sincerely hope we beat
the girls next time.

are friends of long standing.
Besides the badge, Mr. Hale has a

The Captain's New
York Trip
In an interview which our report-
er secured with the Captain today
the following authentic facts con-
cerning New York were made pub-
lic. When the trip was first plan-
ned he intended to go via air but
owing to inclement weather ho was
forced to go by rail. He stated that
-since returning and- learning of Dr.
Scott's episode he is rather glad that
ho placed his faith in the "tierra
firma." He took his overcoat (the
one he always wears, we guess,) ex-
pecting cold and severe weather but
found very pleasant temperatures
prevailing, generally.
While he was on Governor's Island
a guard shot a prisoner's head off
with a shot gun. He slept well that
night despite the fact that his na-
ture was so offended that ho ate no
supper.
Ho took in none of Now York's
night life. "O saw too much in the
day time," he said.
The Captain also said that the
farther north one goes the less Eng-
lish ho finds. The speech of the
people reminded him of a Browning
and and German Maxim speaking to
each other.
In New York one crosses the
street by infiltration (if at all.) It
is necessary to raise up and look
carefully in all directions then run
swiftly, zig-zagging, to the ot-hetr
corner.
The chief changes in New York
since his last trip are that the bev-
erage served up there reminds him
of missing Spark Plugs and that
dresses have gone down and prices
up. Ilis conclusion is that New
York is no place for a good little
soldier from "the sticks."
In regard to the Battle of the City
Hall which occurred while ho was
there, between the Reds (Russians)
and the Blues (Plat Feet) ho is of
the opinion that "Jimmy" Walker's
control of Greater New York may
be counted on for the next few days
at least. He refuses to give out
anything definite, as to where the
next war will bo or between whom,
or, —for that matter even when it
will start.

Cowboy Party
Tho Cowboy Club staged their
semester party on the cveniug of
March 3. These lads of big hats,
boots and spurs rounded up a pretty
girl friend apiece, gathered in front
el: tho conservatory where they all
mounted shanks horses, and rode at
a slow walk out to the old stomping
ground, the college farm. Upon ar-
riving at their destination several of
tho cowhands made a successful
wood-hunt and built a big fire over
which weiners and marshmallows
were roasted and toasted. Buns were
also abundant as well as a box full
of cookies. At about nine-thirty the
crowd began to drift homeward.
It has been rumored since that one
cowboy had a littlo trouble in get-
tnig his date back in the corral. Wo
don't want to say who but probably
Mrs. Moody could guess who it was.
IF
(Por Girls)
If you can be a girl and glory in it,
Becauset it is a place for you to fill.
If you can1 be a lady every minute,
Yet take all sporting chances with
a will,
If you can hold your tongue when
you
Are ruffled, and force a smile when
Frowns are hovering near,
Or keep tliet burning tongue of scan-
dal
Muffled, by never telling anything
you hear.
8
If you can follow styles and wear
them sweetly,
But let not what you spend out-
weigh the twain,
If you can reach some goal you have
sought completely.
Yet know that broader reaches still
remain,
If you can look on modern fads and
find them good, but never play,
the fool,
If you can understand —all —deep
emotions
And yet not' put yourself beneath
their rule. y
If you can wait with patineco oil
another,
Yet keep no person waiting on your-
self,
And if with merry smiles bad feel-
ings smother,
You are richer than if endowed with
golden pelf.
If you can work each day and still
Be plucky or live in wealth and
bear no naughty pride,
If you can count yourself as mighty
luek,y
To have a friend at all times by
your side.
4
If you can dream yet not sit idly
longi tl.g
Or play with ease, yet find some
work to do.
If you .can still have faith when
doubts are thronging,
And bo the friend you would have
one be to you,
If you can love with all the soul
that's in you
And lot tho world no setlfish motive
see.
If nothing less than what is best
can win you,
You are tlii girl "God" meant for
you to be.
COLONEL NELSON AND
STAFF WILL INSPECT THE
TARLETON CADET CORPS
(Continued from page one)
and sponsors with catch questions.
However, he lias always been
more than pleased with the corps'
appearance. Last year he compli-
mented the corps and Captain Mul-
cahy very highly on his close order
drill.
Ho is making a survey of tho It.
O. T. C. units of the Eighth Corps
Area and expects Tarleton to rate
rather high. Last year when ho came
Tarleton was tho only unit in his
area able to parade in line. N. T. A.
C. paraded in a column. Tho Colonel
remarked, when told that Captain
Mulcahy intended to use a line, that
a lino was very difficult, "In fact,"
he said, "You will surpass Capt.
Keltner if you are successful." Cap-
Uiin Mulcahy said that the Colonel
might have liis sabre if he didn't
beat Grubbs.
Richard Seagler, '29, was here
Sunday. He and Col. Atlee were
visitors in Fort Worth most of Sun-
day.
Hired Hand
Club Party
At six thirty o'clock last Tuesday
evening the Hired Hands with their
fair, companions gathered in front
of tho old conservatory and started
on a journey to the college farm for
a party. Tho long, sweet walk to the
farm came to an end about 7:30. A
huge bonfire was lighted so that
those who went on the treasure hunt
could find iheir way back.
Just ffttr the announcement fo
the treasure hunt the group was
alarmed by a roar of screams and a
body falling into the creek On in-
vestigation it was found that Alli-
son 1ml gone to sleep or from other
cause s had fallen into the creek. Af-
ter splashing around desperately he
finally succeeded in gaining tho
bank and climbed out. As soon as
the excitement had subsided, the
treasure hunt began. After about 30
minutes of hunting, Haskett Casey
and Margaret Henderson brought in
a large box of caudy.
Next came the most important
event of the evening, the eats. Min-
iature bologna or weiners, marsh-
mallows, pickles, olives, bread, cof-
fee, and cake were engaged by all.
The oats wore very plentiful and all
tlaces of hunger vanished quickly.
The eating took quite a bit of time
and after all was consumed lite par-
ty started the journey homeward.
'1 he faculty advisor, Mr. Blanchard
and Miss Blanks, escorted the cou-
plcs back to the "Dump" just in
time to see the lights flash. Everyone
reported a wonderful time.
Here and There
Looks as though teachers live to
give hard quizzes and gloat over
poor, ignorant students.
The Captain seems to bo none
the worse for his trip to New York.
We wonder if Mrs. Mulcahy had a
questionnaire (prepared when hfe
came in.
It was reported here that there
was quite a little sandstorm last
Thursday. Someone remarked that
the co-eds were quite worried for
fear it might continue through
Sunday.
Joe had a little hard luck; he
mentioned something about a dunce
while on the stage with the Dean.
Blue was the only color of the
spectrum Joe's face didn't express.
But the Dean didn't mind it much.
Speaking of Thursday reminds
lis that the Band is really good
again this year, even if they do
think (cogitate for the, Fresh-
man) that they can hande a rifle.
Some people still seem to be of
the general opinion that the Pur-
ple Book does not expressly say,
"Ye shall not haze!"
And then there was the freeh-
man who asked if a football coach
had four-wheel brakes.
Not forgetting the freshman who
knew not and knew not that he
knew not.
Freshmen are good for some-
thing tho, just look who won the
State championship. We hereby
take off our hats to the team and
their "fish" captain.
We are sincerely glad that boots
and putts mean nothing to our co-
eds—they might feel different if
they had to shell out for them.
Sometimes we wonder if cotton
shirts in John's Army will really
come to pass and if one of our
cadet officers will be mortified,
when he has to descend from nice,
warm serge to plain cotton?
And it came to pass that there
was an, Annual and a J-Tac in the
house of John Tarleton.
Tarleton is the highest ranking
junior college in the South.
"A" Company's J-Tae was
dandy good one.

Lunch Wagon Fables
We all had a rollicking good time
this week-end, Doll won't give us
full particulars but she says she had
u good time and that's about all that
she will say.
Casio feels her importance over
the fact that she left Thursday to
referee during the Basketball Tour-
nament. We all missed her terribly
this week-end, especially Both, who
had charge of her training table dur-
ing her absence. Really, though, it
was a little change from tho general
routine, especially fixing plates, ban-
quet style, and almost requiring the
whole force.
As for Blackie, she got terribly
disappointed, but a pretty little
Tarleton pin brought back the smiles
and drove the tears away. She could
then grin as big as the rest of us.
But wo still haven't told tho news.
Sunday night on the sleeping porch
a grand pillow and water fight took
place between two upperelassmen,
Monotte and Beth, and Fishes Katy
and Baby. The freshmen had a
grand time and nearly got drowned
as well as choked, but they won't
admit they were whipped. In fact,
they had tho nerve to say that they
believe they came out on top. It all
started when Monette accused Baby
of having had onions for supper and
not dividing with her.
Besides Monotte had a birthday.
Those who missed seeing and tast-
ing tho "bestcst" white cake with
pretty little white candles on it,
missed a treat. We won't say how
many candles, but there were more
than three and not too many.
We must sign off bad as wo hate
to. We could tell you lots of interest,
but you probably wouldn't believe
us anyway.
