WINTER TERM ENROLLMENT
SHOWS A SUBSTANTIAL GAIN
In spite of the fact lht these are
considered hard times by the outlying
communities the enrollment of Abt-
We Christian Collegq hag continued
to grow. Although It wan first
thought there would be a decrease in
the winter term a careful check-up
by the bursar has shown that thirty
five new students havo entered school
mm! only twenty have dropped out
The school year of twenty fivo and
six had previously set a record for
enrollment In the college ; but that
record has long since been left la tho
shade. At the beginning of the fall
term tho total number of students tn
school was sH hundred and nine; and
with the beginning of this tens there
are something like six hundred and
twenty five or more.
Such an increase of students at this
time ef the year should be of con-
siderable encouragement to the ad
mmistratien. The low price of cotton
has been felt over Texas and Okla-
homa real forcibly and the financial
status of the states is at its lowest
ebb at the present time. An increased
enrollment in spite of such existing
conditions means that A. C. 0. is
besoming more and more a school
with a reputation.

For the past week unusual noises
that have assumed the description of

been heard at seemingly timed peri-

waiwnted sounds usually issue forth
en the peaceful atmosphere of M&6-

thereafter. They oeeur with such
alarming clearness that Ted Norton
and J. S. Gibson always manage to
get together in sudden consultation

interpretation.
The stage was beautifully set and
Miss Foster in an attractive evening
dress made a pretty picture indeed.
She admirably handed the difficult
reading King Robert of Sicily."
Her delightful presentation of a cut-
ting from Tarkington's "Seventeen"
was very entertaining.
"Cherry Blossoms" a one-act play
was given in Japanese eeeteme. In her
Portrayal of the tragic love story of
the Japanese maiden Miss Foeter was
especially good. Two clever 'musieal
readings added much to the delightful
program.
Burten Coffman pojml&r baritone
assisted Mies Feeter. He in a pleasing
manner rendered several vocal soles.
As a token of approbation for her
splendid work Miss Foster reeaived
many beautiful flowers.

COACH WEEMS HAS ARRAY OF
PROMISING MATERIAL
THIS SEASON
Tho first call for track mqn was
issued last Thursday morning by
Coach J Eddlo Wcoms. At the meet-
ing. Forty-oight men reported and
expressed their Intention of doing
track work
Practlco was begun that afternoon
and is continuing. Of course any
prediction as to team prospects would
bo ridiculous at this early date but
with the abundance of excellent ma-
terial an early start and an able
coach a track team should result
Track has become a major sport
and is rapidly growing in popularity
throughout the south. It bids fair to
eclipse and displace baseball in col-
lego athletics even as it has already
dono in many cases.
Active Interest in track is rather
young in A. C. Cfl activity having
increased with the advent of Coach
Weems last year That first team
made an excellent record. With last
year's experience and nucleus to build
upon track in A. C. 0. seems destined
to rise in popularity and successful-

BROOKS GIVES
1TIAL SERMON
TO COL CHURCH
On January tho second Brother
Brooks filled tho pulpit of the college
Church of Christ and delivered tho
Initial sermon of his ministry hero.
Taking tho place of F. B Shepherd
who is now actively working for the
college and who had been prcnehlng
for the congregation here for nearly
four years the now minister began n
period of residence in Abilcno that
promises to bo most pleasant for him.
Brother Brooks comes from Lub-
bock whoro he had built up a strong
congregation of Christions. At the
tlmo of his departure there Wero
around six hundred members In the
church there. Abilene then is get-
ting a minister of marked ability to
fill the place of Shepherd who has
sren the college church doube in size
while he was preaching for it.
Last February Brooks was heard
for tho first time by Abilene' people.
Appearing on the program during lec-
ture week ho delivered one of the
most interesting speeches of tho oc-
casion. His subject "From Creeds To
Christ" was presented in a most inter-
esting manner and has already as-
sured him popularity among the ma-
jority of Abilene people.
With the retirement of Shepherd
from active preaching duty in the
church hero a man of ability will bo
lost. He has served his flock faith-
fully for over three years and haa
seen an increase during that period.
Ho was instrumental in sending mis-
sionaries to India and organized the
ehurch donations in a business like
manner. One of the products of his
ministry .la the bndget system new

Students Possessing Soft
Hearts for Cats Keep Safe
Distance From Biol. Lab.
Symbolic of femlne characteristics
a misnomer of the multiplicity of life
the first word we learned to read back
before the time we developed enough
Initiative to wash behind our ears
without being instructed to do so and
the common name for a fourfootod
animal is the noun "cat"
It is with regard to that animal that
wo shall discuss. This creature on an
average grows to be about twelvo
inches over-all length from prelude to
conclusion and with an adjustable ap-
pendage called the "tail" can extend
its length abaut one third more. Its
height reaches about six inches but
never greater than will permit it to
keep its feet on whatever its standing
place may be. It is -uncertain where
the cat originated ainco some of
them are striped it might bo supposed
to have come from tho animals which
Jacob induced to gaze steadfastly at
some striped cane in order to evolve
thru the psychological effect a beast
of broken color. But that argument
falls down in view of the fact that
there are black cats white cats blue
cats and red-headed cats. Hence we
must reason from another angle. Pro
fessor M. T. Head of tho University
of E Pluribus Unum has set forth a
very plausible theory concerning the
origin of the cat a. theory that would
be too detailed and take too much of
the yaluable space in this periodical to
permit it being discussed at length
but his entire reas6aing may be sum-
med up in a brief conclusion thus "In
the light of great consideration and
many observations it seems quite
probable that the cat came from the
kitten."
JVe have given a brief but thor-
ough description of cats in general
and wish now to bring into discus-
sion a partknkr species of the cat.

as the "hense-eat" & very affable

EK CURTIS WINS
GRIDIRON HONOR
NEW YEARS' DAY
BY DAWNING MARLIN HI TEAM
FORMER STUDENT GAINS
WIDE RECOGNITION
- Eck Curtis has mado ono of tho
most formidable records of any stu-
dent to go out from A. C. C. During
his two years at Anson ho has built
up an outstanding football team. Year
beforo last his eleven held the Abilcno
High team to a scoreless tio; and was
undefeated until thrown out of tne
raco on account of Ineligible men.
On New Year's day Eck's career as
a high school coach reached its zenith.
His football team held the strong
Marlin squad for three quarters and
In tho final seconds of the final quar-
ter nosed "out tho down state men by
a field goal. This was tho deciding
game for tho doss B championship of
tho state.
Tho genius of Curtis has shown up
in his team's playing During his two
years in Anson ho has developed some
real football men versed in tho science
of the game. Some sport writers havo
given him credit for having the best
coached team in West Texas. Surely
hero must bo something in that too
for tho Anson squad has played
"heads up" football in every game the
past two seasons. Tho little man from
A. C. C. has it seems instilled that
same cunning in his proteges that ho
himself possessed during his days on
the gridiron.
Unliko most high school coaches
who teach Along with their coaching
duties and givo littlo attention to
their literary work. Eck was highly
commended by tho Anson superintend-
ent fer doing hk work in ouch a sya-
t;5k . Curtis
anayeT rfcnM WU 'Whew
the emphasis behMgs.'
What wo are driving at is a criti-
cism of tho biological atrocities that
have been tolerated around tho cam-
pus for tho last week. Many a poor
felno. has paid all nino installments
for his existence in as many minutes
during tho last week for tho mere
satisfaction of tho thirst for knowl-
edge possessed by a few would be
doctors. The reader should see tho
pitiful struggle of those poor innq-
cent animals hd should listen to the
pathetic wails and see the hopeless
gasps of the last lifes effort of tho
poor kitty in order to understand the
distressing situation.
Now it is useless to criticise an ad-
verse situation without suggesting a
remedy for the trouble What other
punishment could be meted out than
to treat the offenders in the same
way they havo tortured their victims
Imagine a certain sawed-off Journal
ist famous around A. C. C choking
a helpless cat and then imagine this
shell-rjmmcd-speckled dwarf under-
going the same treatment would
that not soon put a stop to such prac-
tlco? Why not use tho pliers on the ver
tebral column of a certain former
hotel clerk. Another guilty gangster
Is one student who's name has a sig-
nificant connection with a door.
It Is hoped that college sentiment
will soon be aroused to the situation
and take things in hand.
The least that might be done is
this: if they must put these poor anl
mals to death they might at least dis
pose of the remains in a manner show
ing more respect to the departed.

FORMER COLLEGE STUDENTS
UNITED IN MARRIAGE
During the holidays Jesse Mac

Cheap talk marks the eheae man.
Tho plans for tho new administra-
tion building which is to be started
some time in tho near future have
been completed according to informa-
tion received from Shepherd. Nlchol
nnd Campbell the architects selected
havo turned in their final drawings
for the new structure and tho building
committee has accepted them.
Ground is to bo broken by tho first
of Jbruary or soon after and the
trustees think tho building will to
ready for use by next Septembers Al-
though the entire hundred and fifty
thousand dollars has not been raised
the Abilcno Chamber of Commerce
will in another month resume its
drivo for the final amount which is
not very far off at tho present.. Al-
ready over a hundred thousand "dol-
lars has been subscribed to the cam-
paign and two more weeks of concen-
trated work should soe the full quota
raised.
The completion of the administra-
tion building will eliminate the pres-
ent crowded conditions hi the seheel
and will provide more room for the
ever Increasing enrollment. Its need
has been felt for several years and by
next fall It will bo a necessity for the
further growth of the college.

HELD BEFORE HOLIDAYS
CLOSE COMPETITION
GIVEN TO TENOR" SECTION
The annual quartet tryout held just
beforo Chrjstmas marked with un-
usual competition lnthe tenor divi-
sion of that organization. Livingston
ousted all opposition in the high tenor
section only after a glorious struggle
In which was a survival of the fittest.
Willmon gave Humphrey stiff com-
petition in tho second tenor section
and it waa a good-sized task for tho
blonde from the Panhandle to oust
hint. Coffman and Willis wero easy
favorites in their parts and had little
difficulty with their opposition.
The quartet which is now composed
of J Livingston Humphrey Coffman
and Willis is getting down to serious
training and tho future has a fairly
bright outlook As soon as Livingston
becomes accustomed to the other three
men the four should get unusually
good harmony; for their voices are all
of a robust nature that win enablo
them to blend well.
