Speed Contest with Rouge, Lipstick, and
Powder Begins at First Note of Bugle
"It was spring, there was ro-
mance in the air and everything."
You ain't telling me a thing,
crcoils. The way 1 feel lately,
though, I would like "Lonely
Lane."
Speaking of theme songs, H. J.
Thomas has changed his from
"Lazy River" to "Little -Joe the
Wrangler."
The question is, reckon Shirley
is really married"? Does she still
receive fan mail? How do you feel,
Pruitt?
Miss Bierschwale advised John
Logan that variety was the -spice
of life, but he seems to be trying
to concentrate on one certain
chambray.
Kinard is singing "Love is the
Sweetest Thing." After pinning
him down close, he finally admit-
ted to his bosom pals that he was
really in love. It is supposed to be
a grand and glorious feeling. How
does it feel and affect the nervous
system, Ki Ki?
II umpic the boy has tire trouble.
My dear Fish Dancer, it grieves
me very much that you should mis-
take what I said about a girl. You
are very mu-ch mistaken, for I had
no reference to any particular
thing when I said she was a real
sport.
Capt. Baker: When two bodies
come in contact with one another
heat is generated,
O. Little: Not always, the other
night I got knocked cold.
Some romances don't seem to be
weathering the storm very well.
Sid Langford invests in a J.T.
A.C. wrist chain for a C.I.A. miss.
Some students have forgotten th
song, "Annie Doesn't Live Here
Any More," but ask Christine
Glenn if she has. Perhaps we have
one good person on the campus
with a memory.
An egotist is a person who al-
ways talks about himself when you
want to talk about yourself.
It would be a good idea to. or:
ganize a fraternity like Alabama
U. has on the campus Flunk, dam-
mit, flunk fosters the feeling of
brotherly love and sympathy for
those unfortunate enough to be de-
nied certain rights of society for
a period of six weeks.
Pen Point Pete of Simmons says:
Love is like an elevator-
Going up is swell.
The biggest thrill is at the top,
Coming down is hell.
The good old hobby of skating
seems to be coming back into its
own, for Byron Miller perambulat-
ed up and down the walk for an
hour Friday.
I close with this extract from
the Junior Kanger on the order of
that immortal thing called trees:
I think that I shall never drink
A better scourer of kitchen sink,
A stronger stuff for killing men
Then twentieth century bath tub
gin.
Ah, you may talk of whiskey's
might
And spin ten years of mares of
night
And you may say there's none
so fine
As mellow, crimson, noble wine;
And some may talk of three
point two
And eight ;;er cent of good home
brew;
But gin, as smoothly flows it down,
Puts on also the sneering frown.
Yes, poems are made by mortal
men,
But only bath tubs make good
gin.
I remain your,
Gentleman at the Kevhole.
The bugle is the means of doing
more things than gaining a com-
mission. The particular instrument
which Sweeten trumphs is a signal
for various activities, for Dining
Hall addicts. To be specific:
6:40 a. m,—First call for break-
fast. To be more specific: Get on
your chambray. The most popular
method of rising is not to. This
method has the approval of such
favorites as Audre Hallmark, Mae
Miller, Evans Pritchard, Lois ^Al-
len, and countless others. The more
adept at the art have been known
to apply rouge, lipstick, powder,
chambray, and even a comb in 5
minutes.
6:55 Second Bugle. If you can't
desert the Sandman by this time,
go ahead and stay in bed until
chapel. Anyway, if you make a
sound the laundry woman will be
pounding at your door demanding
that $1.25 you owe her.
7:00 Third and last call for
breakfast. On this bugle one makas
tracks toward the dining hall. To
do this one lifts the left foot half-
way to the knee in a rotary move-
ment and sets it a little in front
of the right foot, then one lifts the
right foot half-way to the knee
(left knee, silly) and sets it down
a little in front of the left foot.
This is called walking and it is
the most generally accepted meth-
od of ■ conveyance to the dining
hall.
12:20 Chow Bugle. To date this
bugle has answered the fervent
prayers of all 400 of the students
with 11:20 classes by blowing (an
excellent characteristic in bugles
but poor in well-Iet's-not-get-per-
sonal) at this time. It would an-
swer more prayers if it blew at
least 20 minutes earlier.
5:15 Reveille, Many are those
who don't know what to do at this
time, but it is not the purpose of
the author to impart information
here. {Come up and see me some
time).
5:55 First Bugle for Chow. You
eat here. At least you go over to
the dining hall on that bugle. Well,
you don't go on the bugle, you go
on the advice of friends, pocket-
book, and appetite. You—well, you
go to chow.
10:15—Taps. Ho hum! Lights
out! Curtain!
Jake Barken Has to Stand in a Chair to
Work at the Board, On a Box to Survey
MILDRED RICHARDSON IS
INITIATED INTO Z. C. CLUB
The Z. G.'s pledged Mildred Ri-
chardson Monday night in an im-
pressive formal initiation, held !n
the office of Miss Lillard, sponsor.
There followed a clever mock ini-
tiation in the dormitory; after
which Nell Porter and Othella
Daniel served a delicious fruit
punch with attractive cookies to
the members of the club and Mrs.
Swan Richardson, invited in as a
guest.
It is true that Jake Barken is
not the shortest man on the cam-
pus, but he comes far short of be-
ing the tallest. It would be a good
idea if Jake and Bo© Bohannon
could incorporate, Jake, a former
Southern Methodist University
student, takes electrical engineer-
ing and that makes his height dou-
bly hard on him, since electrical
engineers have to take a short
course in civil engineering. Jake,
being much shorter than the tripod
of the transit, sometimes wishes
for a box to stand on when he has
to look through the telescope. Bar-
ken is becoming famous among the
engineers as a "soap-box engi-
neer."
If one should have glanced thru
the door ol Mr. McSweeny's cal-
culus class the other day, he would
have seen Barken overcoming an-
other handicap of his short stature.
Barken was working at the board.
He had already covered the lower
part of the board with figures, but
still was not through with his
problem. Jake was puzzled as to
what to do when Mr. McSweeny
came to the rescue with a chair.
It was at this time that one should
have glanced through the door for
there was Barken standing up-
right in the chair, putting figures
ali over the top of the board. In
spite of these handicaps, Barken
makes good grades and gets high
at Tarleton even if he does have
to climb a chair to do it.
Bugle is Tarleton's Clock from Reveille
To Taps—Calls Regulate Day for Cadets
"I ean't get 'em up! I can't get
'em up! I can't get 'em up in the
morning!" calls the bugle at 6:45
a. m. when Sweeten gives reveille
at the dining hall. The sleepy cadet
rolls over in his bed and looks at
the stopped alarm clock. "Good
night! That sounds like the first
call to drill." The cadet hurries in-
to his uniform without washing or
combing his hair. In record break-
ing time he is out of the room
and halfway down the steps when
he heart; the second chow call. This
time he knows that it is nearly
seven, and what a great relief is
given. For onee he is up in time
for breakfast and will be to drill
on time.
The bugle calls for regulators
for the Tarleton students. Break-
fast ealis arouse most all the stu-
dents within five blocks of the
campus, slow time pieces are cor-
rected, and sleepy cadets, and
co-eds roll over for a little longer
beauty nap. The drill call pepp
up the half awake cadets to drill.
At the first bugle, they only hurry
their pace a little. The second bug-
le, assembly, causes the late ones
to rein. Those late answer to their
names as they go to the armory
and get back into ranks before the
top-kiek knows the difference,
"You've gotta bend down, Broth-
er, or you won't be military"—
goes the counting when exercises
are taken at drill time. The whole
cadet corps groans as they bend
over at the count of one, up to
two, back at three, and up at four.
Bugler Bennett blows recall, Each
cadet gives a sigh of relief. Later
when the companies are formed,
and they have drilled more than a
half of an hour the call is again
given. Each company tries its best
to get to the armory first.
At 12:20 p, m, the sleepy, hun-
gry, and tired student hears the
chow call for lunch while in class.
The teacher loses all the class' at-
tention. Everyone hurries about
then for chow at their respective
boarding houses.
At retreat the student body pau-
ses to salute the flag as it is low-
ered at 5:30. The tired cadet holds
himself at attention and salutes
the flag. At the sound of the last
note of the bugle, his hand is cut
smartly to his side because of loss
of strength from the hard day of
studies.
Immediately after retreat is the
chow call for dinner, or supper to
those who prefer it. At 6 the last
call for chow is given, and the stu-
dents all over town by this time
have already eaten or eating.
The tired cadet runs his fingers
through his disarranged hair and
rubs his aching eyes as he pauses
to listen to taps. This is 10:30 p.
m. and the last call of the day. All
Tarleton is quiet, tired, peaceful,
and sleepy. Tomorrow is just one
hour and a half away. The cadet
leans back in his chair, yawns big
as he stretches, and closes his book
for the night.
BUFFET SUPPER SERVED
TO GIRLS AND 'BOY-FRIENDS'

In The Library i
Mrs. Moody entertained a group
of the dormitory girls and their fa-
vored "boy-friends" with a buffet
supper Sunday evening in her
apartment. Large, gold-colored
nasturtiums were used as decora-
tions throughout the rooms and on
the tables. A delicious salad course
was served.
Those attending were Lenore
Horner and Needham Horner, Gen-
eva Abbott and William Wiley,
Iniogene Stewart and Ike Bal-
dridge, Mary Ellen Greenwood and
Wayne Crook, Janice Gaither and
William Smith, Betty Gilbert and
Bob Ayers, Melba Ator and Jim
Mulloy, Edith Wharton and Ken-
neth McLemore, Mary Elizabeth
McAuliffe and Ed Word, Emadele
Marrs and Hale Barfoot.
Mrs. Moody was assisted in serv-
ing by Bobbie Louise Price, Elsie
Oliver, Flora Jones, and Miss Lil-
lard.
Edith Wharton's newest novel,
"The Gods Arrive," deals with the
problems of New York's elite as
reflected in the life of Halo Tar-
rant, a society girl. Unhappily
married to a vain, unfaithful hus-
band, she is held by her inherited
social background from such a rad-
ical thing as a common divorce.
The story revolves about an attrac-
tive young writer with whom Halo
falls in love and flees to Europe to
escape her interited society.
"Anthony Adverse," is a story of
adventures which rival those of
the author himself. Hervey Allen,
the author, spent four years in
writing the manuscript of this re-
markable book. The travels and ad-
ventures of the hero in many lands
furnish many instances of both hu-
mor and pathos.
A LITTLE LIFE
It is a mistake to let life become
complicated. Life is really very
simple, and only by thinking of it
in simple terms can it be master-
ed.
Do you want to be successful?
Then work and save. Be fair and
temperate.
Most of us get into trouble when
we try to break the simple rules.
We seek short-cuts, new formulas,
new religions, new standards. We
write fat hooks, proposing new
theories and new philosophies, but
with all our wisdom and big words
we cannot escape the simplicities,
"Work never got me anywhere,"
said an editor at luncheon today.
"Well," was the answer, "it sav-
ed you from boredom, didn't it?"
Many of us squirm through the
intricatcies of New Thought and
saturate ourselves in poetry, but
life brings us back to the stern
realities which are inescapable.
The drudgery of today discip-
lines us to meet the responsibili-
ties of the morrow. The luxury
that we deny today is compounded
for our enjoyment later. By fair-
ness we establish the confidence
that wing the co-operation of our
friends, By temperance in all
things we achieve the balance nec-
essary for the full enjoyment of
life's possibilities.
All great souls are simple, in
thought, word and action. No true
and sound philosophy requires
many pages for its exposition. All
that anyone needs to know about
the rules for a successful life can
be put on one sheet of paper.—The
Yellowjacket.
CAMPUS PHILOSOPHY
(By a C.LA. Old-Timer)
Don't let the other fellow know
you are smarter than he is.
Never expect a train to wait on
your automobile to cross.
A hint to the fool is sufficient.
Stand on your feet, and you will
not get down in the mouth.
The weak do not recover from at-
tending college.
Big words often express small
ideas.
Dont be bad today because you
were good yesterday.
Before you fall in love be sure
to figure on how to get out.
Spending your father's money is
an unnecessary education for him.
Love cannot survive on an empty
stomach,—C.I.A. Lass-o, Denton.
He lay on his side on the cold,
concrete floor of the pier, his eyes
fast glazing. No more would this
shark thrill to the chase, no more
would he cruise through the kindly
blue waters of Tampa Bay, the hun-
ter with a steely grey eye and an
omnivorous mouth. His life blood
was gushing forth in a ruby flood.
With his left eye he saw what
seemed to him a strange sight—
his captors. "Merciful heavens," he
thought; "surely these heterogene-
ous conglomerations of miscellan-
eous incongruities are not the des-
troyers of the mighty deep !"
and as he shuddered his cold, grey
eye grew opaque.
Then one of his captors, a female
with flaming red hair, gasped, "My
Gawd, look at those teeth."
—Jimmy Rimes.
