.oy thing on tho Christian campus.
Some groups of boys are llko sheep

tho first step has been taken busi-
ness is going to pick up among tho
male specie.
It has been stated that tho boys
have tho immediate support of the
fairer students. So there is no need
to be timid. Boys wishing finger
waves and permanents should call
for an appointment at once. Or per-
haps if eager ones will seo the blondo
haired Williams lad they might be
able to get a hair set without an
appointment
BELLS
The different bells that madly ring
Keep students on the run
At every hour you hear them sing
When recitation's done.
And what relief they oft afford
To students in their classes
Who for an hour are often bored
With lectures (escaping gases).
At early morn tho bells buzz out
Like hordes of angry bees
In accents long and loud and stout
They snort and cough and sneeze.
And late at night their shrieking noise
In clamours round me creep
And many many girls and boys
Are thus deprived of sleep.
When wo essay to ride tho bus
No quletudo is furnished
A bell is there to mako a fuss
A bell that's bright and burnished.
So bells abound to mar our joy
And how they mako us hustle
Yet every collego girl and boy
With theso affairs must tussle.
You choose the bell that jrou like best
Or the bell that's the most distressing'
Tho bell that proves true -in time of a
test
jGr to you has proven a blessing.
jBut I love to hear tho welcoming call
pip a tono that's calm and steady;
r Of'the bell that's near the dining hall
Saying "Come the beans aro ready"

Ears Of Optimist
Jttetlect Cardinal
Activities Here
"Without offenso to friends or" foes
Wo brand A. C. C. exactly as sho
goes."
Through the cars of tho Optimist
(staff) tho various activities of the
school find their way into tho collego
periodical and through tho workings
of tho Optimist's cars is reflected tho
most newsy cvont of collego Ufo for
the week.
Tho student who reads and inter-
prets tho contents of this paradoxical
auditory senso organ in tho upper
corners of tho front pago gets tho
gist of the collego news.
Tho first edition of the Optimist
that was. published this year boro on
its cars tho simple marking "Wel-
come Edition" a grcoting appreci-
ated by freshmen and old students as
well. During the first four weeks
of school all ono could hear was
something about the Wildcat football
squad. Tho rumor reached tho ears
of tho OptirrAst and the glaring ad-
monitions "Beat tho. Plowboys"
"Buffaloes Next" "Beat tho Bob-
cats" and "Support tho Wildcats"
camo into view.
"Examinations" and "Yellow Slips"
reminded unsuspecting students that
it was time for a mid-term check-up
and that they had not studied any
for six weeks. Thovthrilling victory
over the scarlet and black bull fight-
ers was a runner-up of the slogan
"Beat tho Matadors." "Cross Coun-
try Friday" turned tho eyes of stu-
dents toward tho Wildcat thinly clads
who were making their first autumn-
al appearance.
Then came tho "Kitten Klub Knr-
nlval" and tho "Dramatic Club Play."
Who could forget tho beauty of tho
pep squad queen or tho cleverness of
the actors in "Tho Princo Chap"? On
the special train to Brownwood the
Optimist could not havo had a more
appropriate ear marking than "Beat
the Billies." Tho Wildcat eleven cer
tainly did "Get thoso Goats."
"Merry Christmas" and "Happy
New Year" were given hurried
glances by Optimist readers as they
packed their suitcases nnd left for
the holidays.
Perhaps Prof. Showalter and a few
of his "dlscipuli linguae Romnnae"
are nble to appreciate tho phrases
"Laboraro est Orare" with which the
new year was begun "Laboraro est
Honorare" during the week when
tho civic clubs of Abilene honored
tho boards of directors "Memento
Mori" "Vado In Pace" "Periculum
in Mora" and "for Pacem ad Lucem."
Tho brands of tho Optimist aro usu
ally related to tho events of tho week
but one student was unable to see
tho connection. "Somo of thoso ears
are written in an unknown tongue"
was his comment
