= =- ^ LOCALS. May'! ’ Hot weather. Greeks, one of the most promising members of the Junior class, has re signed. He intends completing his •course at the Massachusetts School of Theology, From now till commencement the ever-active collector will proceed to extract all the small change, and some that isn’t so small, in the eye of the cadet, for hops, presents, etc., etc. These things must be, so “Ante up,” boys. “The Lord loveth a cheerful giver." Exams will soon be the order of the day. Horseback riding is considered excellent exercise, but it is strictly pro hibited. Simpson S. and Carter were pro gressing nicely with their thesis until the Foster hop. Now “Joe” thinks he will have to proceed alone, as Simp son has “lost heart.” Tanner has become cuite a book worm. Wonder what the matter is. Is he trying to borrow from his books surcease of sorrow? Who said the Foster hop was not the swellest social event of the season? A. and M. was well represented at Houston during the Trans-Mississippi Congress. The boys who went report having had a jolly time in the “Mag nolia City.” Several of our “cadets” have lost their appetites since the Houston la dies left. Wonder what’s the mat ter. Locals are somewhat scarce this is sue. “Froggy” Storey would appre ciate it if his assistants in the differ- erent halls will work a little mor-e and be more prompt. Commencement is not so far in the distance. Let everybody do their lev el best to make this the banner year of the A. and M. Walden (in drug store)—“I’d like to get some shoe strings, please.” Kahn (in Will Thomas’) looking at silk handkerchief—“What is the price of that tie?” Thomas—“Beg pardon; that’s a handkerchief. The ties are in the show . case.” Walden—“Professor, what kind of special manufacturing apparatus has a female ant got, that she can manufac ture young ants with wings?” Wilson—-“Mr. Hyde, how is the in- sectecide copper sulphate used on plants?” Hyde—“Why, to make them grow, of course.” Hudgins W. makes very elaborate toilets during the fifth period. The reason for same is said to be caused by the intersting class mates he has dur ing the sixth period. Where did Simpson J. H. go while in Houston. Ask Tanner and Shaw. Quite a number of our young stu dents visited home during San Jacinto celebration. We know they all had a fine time. Count Pulasky wants to know how many pounds of sulphur Linehuger puts in the “Nat” weekly.
