I want to take this opportunity to
thank the students of Simmons for
electing mo editor of the Brand for
1930-1031. I assure you that 1 will
put forth every effort to produce a
paper better than any we have ever
had in Simmons and ask you for
your complete cooperation.
Can you realize that it won't be long
till school is out and we'll all go back
to the patch and.-drive old Beck
through nnother hectic boiling sum-
mer. Good things can't always Inst.
And one lady prof in a certain de
partment said my column was "vul-
gar." Now I ask you how could any-
thing bo vulgar in Simmons? How-
ever rest ensy I hnvc her name nnd
picture on my black list.
When we see the Bronco before
many more days are gone we will
'see n real sure enough anual worthy
of any university.
Speaking of publications we gottn
have one more Corral out before June
3. How about chumplng off and
white n few short funny lines and
turn 'cm in? Help out the staff on
this last issue.
Some lady stopped at tho corner
the other day and asked where the
$8000 wind damage wns done on the
Simmons campus.

Weekly Love Story
The bus is casing along the road
at a quiet fifty miles an hour and
the moon is like a silver disc in the
heavens the whippcrwills are cooing
in the mcsqultcs and snores and
snorts can be heard from the sleep-
ers In the easy parlor scat cushions.
A couple aro seen toward the rear
and arc evidently telling something
so very important as their heads aro
so very very very close together.
A little silver voice is heard to say
in a tinkling note of baby talk "I
knew oot ud win that nosscy ole ten-
nis match. I knew' oot ud." Tho
boy just smiled and the chaperon in
the front of the bus sighed "If only
Rob could sec her now."
White of Trinity Is

ditional Cowboy
Supremacy
The annual Texas Conference ten-
nis tournment held on tho Simmons
courts last Friday and Saturday re-
sulted in equal honors for Simmons
and Trinity. The Presbyterians carried
off the singles and the Cowboy team
composed of Steakley and Moore took
tho doubles.
Trinity's victory the first of any
kind In the net game for Trinity
since the co'nfcrcncc was organized

started an accurate consistent cam
paign to win tho last three sets.
Moore' and Steakley showed re-
markable improvement in head work
and confidence as they began the
doubles play. They defeated Canady
and Weaver Howard Payne 0-1 0-2
in tho first round. White and Hardy
Trinity went down before them 9-7
7-5. They took the finals from Arn-
spigcr and Canady 9-7 0-1.
The finals in doubles were cut short
by an agreement. The play was car-
ried to only two sets out of three on
account of darkness. From the end
of the first set it was apparent that
the Simmons men had a victory
cinched.
This victory was just another chap-
ter in a story of victories. Since the
conference wns organized Simmons
has not fnilcd once to win nt least
one championship. Raymond Deberry
won the singles championship for
three successive years.

From all reports Mr. Morgan had
the time of his young life on the
band trip this last two weeks. It Is
reported that he lost several pounds
on tho trip. It is also rumored thut
he stated the Cowboy theme song
was "You Belong to Mo."
The Dand has picked its European
men look and seo who they are. It
seems a pity that all the boys can't
go but it is hard enough to arrange
for tho 28. It's a sad life this of a
musician.
These pajama rides are becoming
more and more popular with the
younger town set. You know there
ain't no telling what these girls will
bo doink next.
The election ran off mighty smooth
and goes to prove that after all the
preferential system is best. How-
ever even Sherlock Holmes would
have had a time trying to vote for
who he wonted for yell leader.
Some teachers are getting plenty
hard now that school is ncurly out.
I guess they are doing it because they
can laugh all summer.

That Famous Continued Story
(Chapter 13)
The small child said to the naughty
boy the longest word and all tho
police threw down their clubs and
charged tho field mouse who was not
in love at all. It didn't seem nico but
the last man to find the door was tho
prlnco of snails. Tho wind began
blowing and sent the light out on a
post. Everyono thought that either
the war was over or it would rain
It semed at first the kitty cat was to
finish last In tho eight yard race but
as the tables turned (over) the mouse
won by a nose. The stars fell in
fast succession and the man In the
moon boomed out in a voicq of thun
der that could bo heard ten inches
"So it Is you eh?" and the small
blrdlets nestling in a nearby tree
screamed out loud In a Victrola tone
"Who mo?"
Moral: Yours for a bigger Brand
for a bigger Simmons.
BUILDINGS
in Which
You Take Pride
LN the campus where class buildings
and memorial structures arc so often
distinguished by their noble form flood-
lighting equipment serves to prolong the
enjoyment of their beauty and to enhance
pride in the institution. Such an
application is made for the new 165-foot
campanile at South Dakota State mag-
nificent gift of an alumnus. Electrically
operated chimes sound the hours and
are heard in concerts. At night shafts of
light from General Electric floodlighting projectors effect a picture of superb beauty
done in the school colors und white. From the air the tower is identified by the
beam from a G-E airway beacon surmounting the floodlighted dome. ' Thus
G-E equipment plays its part in promoting progress and fine appreciation. Back of
every G-E product is an organization in which college-trained meu are largely
responsible for the planning production and distribution.
