CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION R E StudeiltS GlVC
INCLUDES MANLESS PANCE
Womanless weddings and hen
parties have teen thought .of, and
have even been successfully staged,
.put—a manless dance! Well, here-
tofore, no one has had enough im-
agination and initiative to give a
real manless dance—that is, have
everything but the men,
Mrs. Moody decided that it was
time something new was originat-
ed; the dance was naturally about
:the first thing to think of, for what
■ girl in the Dump doesn't like to
attempt dancing1? There could be
no men; therefore everything else
must he perfect. It was. There
were evening dresses ■without • the
tuxedos. All the delicate odors of
the perfumed' co-ed were there—
without the more prominent odors
of the hair-oiled cadets. And that
■orchestra! .Oh! Of course, the male
element , was supplied by the or-
chestra, but-the few men were so
outnumbered ' they -didn't even
count. They probably felt insigni-
ficant enough anyway, to he pleas -
ed to hide behind the long flowing
skirts of the women.
Don't think, however, that any
natural' timidity they might have
had with such an overwhelming
number of the opposite Bex about
:them made them play . any the
worse. They were popular.
■■ Mrs, Moody's idea "was certainly
a success. All the girls enjoyed
themselves so much that they were
nearly exhausted—not too fatigu-
ed, however, to stay up half the
liight. It is probable that Pete and
his orchestra shared in the en-
thusiasm about the manless dance,
which was given the week before
the Christmas holidays.
Some New Year's
Resolutions From
The Dining Hall
Helen said she resolved not to
eat any more candy. She is afraid
she will get too fat.
Ruby Joe resolved never to go
to church again when it was rain-
ing—even if she'- had been away
from Parker two weeks.
'■ Edwin resolved to answer all
mail the day she received it (not-
ice not male).
Geneva resolved to cease eating
; sweets as long as Willie Mae, her
room-mate, can't enjoy them with
her,
: Alma Nell resolved to do all she
could to work hard;—to get out of
work.
Ferris resolved not to eat so
much so she could keep that school
girl figure.
' Ruth resolved to keep the good
work going so she can have a lit-
tle money ahead should she break
some more dishes,
B. Brendon Bond from Bangs re-
solved to draw pretty girls for a
living since he won high honor at
the architects' banquet.
Haynes resolved not to break any
more dishes as well as girls' hearts,
Jimmy resolved never to crumb an-
other table for the girls—they do
riot appreciate his work.
Lillie resolved not to disobey any
rules or regulations made in 1932,
Annie C. Bristol resolved to do
better service and try to keep smil-
ing—if possible.
Miss Short resolved a resolution,
too.' She resolved to feed, every one
daily.

Annual Breakfast
The annual ; Home Economics
breakfast was served at 6:30 Fri-
day morning, December, 18, in the1
Home Economics Building. The
guests were, received by AlixcMc-
Aipine, Bessie Faye Donnell, Vir-
>;ie Shaw, and 1st. Mitchell. Mary
Alice Short told a. Christmas story
ana ,everyone sang carols. Then
Santa Ciaus jassed apples to ev-
eryone. The guests then went into
the dining room where . they were
rcrv^d cheese and bacon on tovt,
•'eJly, and tea or coffee,
Lucy Tucker poured coffee and
Gola Wilson poured tea.
Here and There
Ovee Brummett .from Hico is
clever! He says that a rich man
and a poor man are just about
equal after all. The rich man gets
ice\ water in the summer, but. the
poor man gets his in the winter
just the- same.
The Fort boys' are so anxious
to entertain in their new reception
room that they even bring the dogs
in and show them around.
Helen Whitten and Ruth Kiriard
had to study the night before they
left for the holidays, so they stay-
ed up all night long.
. Tablet No, 3 spent its last'niglit
together Monday, and everybody
celebrated. The fun was very quiet
and refined, however.
Wuxtra! Wuxtra. Two world fa-
mous Boy Scouts choose Tajfleton
as the -best place to get an educa-
tion, Mr. Charles Brewster, promi-
nent ossifer . ever , since last year,
has been lending: his cultured in-
fluence to Tarleton campus. Ye.a,
these many months. A new person
has been discovered, however, who
is rivaling even Captain Brewster
himself in influence.' This marvel-
ous entity is no less a -character
than Freshman Jack Bleker of the_
House of Fine. This entrancing
young man is from Houston. . N.ow
to the point of this harangue: both
of these specimens went on the
WORLD JAMBOREE last -year.
N i?w, aren't/ you glad that you can
say to Junior that you once were
an intimate school mate of one or
the other'of these two—s?-
Note: If any one else attended
this thing, and wants to be writ-
ten up, see the J-Tac office.
Grace Gray is a. new inhabitant
of the Dump.
Folks, did you know that Joe
Brown Gordon has the S* A,? It's
with a girl out in'town, so that's
the reason most of us haven't
known it before. Her name is
Frankie, and she goes to hi school.
Oh, baby! Did the pictures pass
around this Christmas? Of course,
everyone knows about the one that
Alva gave Mary Alice, and how
zealously she guards it from the.
other admiring girls. Then, too,
there is the great, big handsome
one- of Stockton that Ruth Withers
has. Sherrod Smith has a foot-high
colored one of his girl that he says
he will not lend, but will rent. B.
D, Smith has two now. They are
both very large. One is of juanita
arid the other is the old home-town
girl. Bonner and Cohnerly have
pictures, too. Many, many others
also were thrilled a£_ receiving
photographs of their dearly belov-
eds, but the list is far too, long to
print here,
Margaret Ann Greer is going to
Westmoreland for the rest of the
school year. An obituary seems in
order, and this is not said in fun.
The fio'or of the gym has been
thoroughly cleaned and oiled, and
the boundaries of the court have
been enlarged.
Many Brothers and
Sisters in School;
Two Seta of Twins
There are twins in school, and
groups of three from the same
family, and. mrire commonplace,
some plain brothers and sister Si
too. (May and Ray Duren, and Irene
and Pauline Vaughn are the twins.
Anna Jewel, Arthur, and Martin

Hired Hands Celebrate New Year's
By Making Whoopee Around Bonfire;
Most Students Spend Holidays at Home
What did you do on New Year's
Eve? A bunch of the Hired
Hands who had been working on
the Campus all" the week went
downtown to make, whoopee. They
made a ■'bonfire ■ on the Trades
Ground and had fun in general un-
til about eleven-thirty. Then the
fire alarm sounded and the Hired
Hands were off to the fire. They
got. there too late to do any good
for the house ■ burning, but ' the
one next to it caught fire, and the
■boys carried everything out of it.
"Mississippi" got excited and car-
ried a sewing-machine nearly two
blocks before putting it down.,
.. After the'fire the boys went back
td town and helped in the general
noise-making until after the New
Year had come. Before going home
the boys were treated to al\ the
bananas they could eat.
■Pete Snyder spent the holidays
at his home in Chill ico the, but
surely 'complained over the .bad
weather that welcomed him home.
Osborne Apple went to Kansas
during the holidays.
Ask Fisl; Shuttlesworth what he1
was doing in Hamilton.
Fish Frey made a gay homecom-
ing Saturday' night.
We wonder why Walker Davis
went, to. Fort .Worth New Year's
Eve.
Arthur Boniier and Fish Coner-
ly are room-mates and they want-
ed all of the students to know that
Santa' Ciaus brought, them a new
rug- to go- in their room and two
pretty pictures of-two fair queens:
Well, can you 'beat that? Rosa-
mond says that doesn't sound so
good to her either.
Not everybody went home for the
holidays. Here are some of the
students who stayed all or part of
the' time:' Alfred Darby, Will Until,
