FRESHMEN, CATCH, COLLEGE SPIRIT
When you, came here, the first thing you heard, about was
the. Tarieton Spirit. If you are a freshman still, you are.still
looking for it; if you are an upperclassman, you have, found
it. It seems that it would be an exceedingly good idea if the
phrase "Tarieton Spirit" should never reach the ears of
Tarieton students. It hardly ever happens that a first year
student anywhere likes his school very much. At large
schools freshmen are'let alone in this respect, and by the
time he. leaves the freshmen ranks he has acquired' the school
spirit on his own initiative.
' Hearing spirit, spirit, spirit, dinned in your ear makes you
rather disgusted at the whole thing. Students get it for them-
selves if left? alone, so why make the process so painful.
■' — 1 ^ OO'—;
Have you ever noticed the rudeness that students exhibit
toward anyone who begins to pray in chapel? The sound of
song books plunking into their racks is certainly very inap-
propriate as an introduction to a prayer. If you are ever on
the stage .beginning to talk, you will more than likely be very
confounded if such a greeting is given to you. Please, stop
dropping them in so hard. . . .

PERSONALS
AND OBSERVATIONS
T, B. Ward thinks because, he is
a sue guide that he can show a
girl the way home. He could be
fooled.
Has anyone noticed that B. D.
Smith's blue eyes, are more beau-
tiful than ever before since he dyed
his hair? At least that is what
Fish Towns end said, and we all
agree with her.
Dale Farrow said that there is
nothing more convenient than to
have the S. A. on a girl that lives
nearby.
Fish Renfro wonders why he has
become so popular through the
J-Tac, and unpopular with Fish Ju
Ju Myers.
After all the excitement about
the little gray mule. after chapel
the other' "day, someone grabbed
"Raney" Bland by the collar and
said, "Now boys, git oh." We won-
der if the mule felt, insulted.'
Could . you imagine Virginia
Barekman and Fish Olin Cameron
having the S. A. It is the rumor
that they have been trying to get
up a little case of the disease.
This Robert Humbert must be
trying to become popular with' the
girls from the way he is acting
lately, '1
H:vve you noticed how Fish Hoyle
has been sporting Elsie. McMahan
around? Do you suppose his pock-
etbook'will stand up to it?
First Sergeant Scruggs thinks
that checkers would be a good
game for him arid Evelyn to. play
in the Dump. rJWe agree.
T. C. Shurtleff and Johnnie
Thomas were not together Sunday
night. Don't laugh; it may be seri-
ous,
Dorothy Stockton would like
to know how to get a suction in
chemistry. ' ■
Even Teachers Were Once Young Enough
To Write Poetry on Love and Marriage
In searching through, some old
J-Taes, the following poems were
found: ■
SIGNS OF SPRING
O here's to you with, eyes of brown,
With painted cheeks that hide each
frown, _
A wealth of hair as black as night,
Which is to me a perfect sight.
Your pearly teeth to me are stars
That I could see were I in Mars. :
And when you look at me so
"sweet,"
It makes my heart with joy to
beat. i
Oh, how those lips make my heart
yearn
For my old Dodge with gas to
burn
But Tarieton rules tear up the ■
creed
Of "Boy and girl a car do need."
So all I do is wait and pray
For it to come—the last of May.
—J. E. Oliver.
This other poem is attributed to
Mr, Agee. There :s no name signed
to it, but a classmate of his said
that Mr. Agee wrote if while he
was a student here:
If no one ever marries me—-
And they don't seem very keen,
For I can't pretend I'm handsome
And my purse is rather lean—
If no one ever marries me
I'll get along all right—; ;
I'll play poker the whole day thru,
And sleep the livelong night,
I'll have a little room to "batch,"
And;a bicycle all my own
And I shan't have to pay children's
bills
For things that they've outgrown,
And when I'm sick of everything :
And dull as dull can be—■
I'll think how glad I've made some
girl
Who didn't marry me.
Hot-dawg? yes—two.
How do you suppose E. Mobley
feels since Charles'Spikes has tem-
porapirly taken Fish Boone off his
hands? Relieved,'didn't you say?
Coleman Newman has not been
able toi get a girl that is even old
to everybody else, but now that he
has rated, maybe the girls will take
pity on him and give him a date
or'two.
* HERE and THERE *
Ih
Winford Schuller certainly must
have lived up to any proud par-
ents'expectations, when he glorious-
ly passed an architecture course by
making a real, honest-to-goodness
hundred on his last test."
One P. T. class - certainly got a
break last Friday morning when
they arrived at the gym and fourid
themselves locked out. The air was
exceedingly cold, but the girls did
not mind that; they even'looked
happy when Miss Fellrhan made
them" stand very still whilp she
called the roll through the bars of
her window—from the inside look-
ing out.
, Driskoll Stalworth was seen- S.
A.-ing Monday night with Ruth
Withers. Ruth has withdrawn from
school and she left Tuesday morn-
ing for her home in Sweetwater.
Now, just how would you feel if
the night watchman flashed his
light in your bed and you weren't
there ? .
The girls in the Dump were ex-
cused from quiet hour Sunday af-
ternoon, because the sunshine was
so good that Mrs. Moody and Miss
Westbrook'couldn't stand to'see
their darling charges penned up in
an. old stuffy dormitory.
The orchestra still practices in
the Dump parlor. ' .
Some girls once went walking at
four o'clock.
The Lucky Thirteens had a par-
ty Wednesday night, January 13.
It is indeed gratifying that the
young of ther male sex has become
conscious enough of its figure to
place a belt around the .waist of its
white coveralls.
The Writers' Club is having a
hard time getting" members. Won't
someone join?
How would you feel if the regis-
trar himself walked in and told you
to pipe down?
Juanita Townsend had a birthday
party.,
Byrd McKay1 has the' S. A.!!
Now that B. has stepped out,
Spikes has stepped back in.
Juanita Reed had company Sun-
day afternoon. About four dozen.
Some unusual things asked for
at the library desk are; "Woodrow
Wilson," "The 'Sky," "Umbrella
Morals," "Birthmark," "Napoleon
I," "A Piece of String," "The Neck-
lace." In fact, students are call-
ing for almost everything 'at the
college library just now.
One fair maiden came to the desk
and said, "I want a 'Bray'!" Now
as you know, no noise is allowed
in the library.' ,
Fish Bennett telephoned Helen
Russell all Sunday afternoon, but
it seemed that she was' not at
home. Where could she have been?
Two baridmen won over two in-
fantry i men in a bridge game Sun-
day afternoon.
Chapel Notes
Dean Davis said in Chapel Mon-
day, January ll, that his greatest'
pleasure is to help a student who
made good here to get a start in
life. He said his inspiration came
from the president of the school
board in1 Honey . Grove who told
him-that he had never flocked , the
way; of a young man. The Girls'
Glee Club sang "I Hear Bees a-
Humming," "Whoo," "Curly-Head-
ed Baby," and "Tom, Tom the Pip-
er's Son,'
' Gabe Lewis, ex-Tarleton student
of Bryan, spoke in Boys Chapel be-
fore Mr. J. O. Garrett made the
regular chapel talk, Mr. Garrett
said that he believed it time to
turn back to the sampler, purer
things of life. He said, "Writers,
are believing that we have gone
mad. We have an idea to. exalt?,' a
man wlio is loud and noisy. We are
in a machine age. lt is all right, but
We 'aire departing further away
from the simpler thing3. There are
more important things than to run
around.
"The man who will go into his
class room to copy, cheat, and rob
his teacher is only robbing him-
self. Every man must begin life
as an honest boy. Life is not so
fine elsewhere as here in college.
Life has big problems. Learn to be
men in the simpler ways. Think
through problems."
F. F. A, and Voc, Ag. Teachers
