Pep in Her Characteriza- tion of Title Role Retreat Sunday, was somewhat of a disordered affair—at least the be- ginning of it. After several false alarms caused by innocent feminine sight-seers, and especially one very, very ‘“‘wise” fair one, Kitty came down the big drag beside Capt. Dougherty and was immediately challenged, halted, surrounded and inspected by several hundred cadets. The block of six tickets went to a Signal Corps bird. “Kitty” was finally discovered to be Miss Lois Pipkin, Assistant Reg- istrar of the College. Miss Pipkin is a firm believer in that old A. and M. pep. She show it in her character- ization of the title role in ‘The Ar- rival of Kitty’. Her costume is mar- velous and she speaks of the gay spots in New York with a familiarity that seems to come from an intimate knowledge of said spots. “Kitty” would put pep into a one-o’clock physics class. Sharing honors with Miss Pipkin, is Miss Nova Lovell as Jane. Miss Lovell; in common with Mary Pickford, and President Wilson, has an aversion to interviewers. Miss Lovell has had extensive ex- perience in “big stuff” production and has shown herself to be a finish- ed actress in every respect. She scored a tremendous success with the student body last year as the heroine of the Senior Play. The role of Jane affords her every opportunity to display her ability. Jane is young, extremely pretty, and very much in love—and Miss Lovel puts the living spirit of a wo- man into that combination. The third of this trio of feminine stars is Miss Pryor, assistant librar- ian, as Aunt Jane. Aunt Jane is rich but unwedded; she is getting along in years, but—unwedded; she prays every night for a man, but— unwedded; she must have a man to call her own, but—unwedded! She is desperate and the game she plays is desperate. Brother, if you don’t know how a marriage is arranged, you can’t afford to miss seeing Aunt Jane’s methods. They are unique— and side-cracking. Miss Pryor plays the character with real insight into the ludicrous situation. Miss Louise Pipkin of Bryan, playing Suzette, the smart little French maid upholds her reputation for good acting that she established | as Miss Pratt in “Sixteen”. The gay old bachelor devotee of the peppery “Kitty” is part with real gusto and the chalance that the bright life gives until Aunt Jane gets a scent of a | real, live, wicked actress hangin’ around.

Baylor University is here for two | games on Wednesday and Thursday | this week, in baseball. | Probably the best baseball games | to date will be played this week when (the Baylor Bears invade Kyle Field | for a series of two games with the | Aggies. The “Bears” have been put- [ting up a jam-up game. Moseley’s | pupils defeated Austin College by | practically the same score that A. and M. was victorious. In fact Baylor has won all games todate. Last Friday and Saturday they defeated the strong S. M. U. team by large scores. One of the best players on the Bay- lor team who is hitting the ball this year is home-run “Yank” Wilson. He was successful in getting two home runs in the Austin College series. The Aggies are hitting the ball well and the pitchers are showing up better every game. The result of the two games this week will be watched with interest as they are the last con- tests before Texas comes on April 12th and 13th. DC rei. .F ba<BPMr] DAIRY HUSBANDRY GRADUATES WANTED BY LARGE CREAMERY J. W. Ridgway, Professor of Dairy Husbandry, has been asked by one of the largest creamery companies In the country to recommend three men for good positions in their plant. They are in need of the services of one or two butter makers, or assist- ants and also of a young man famil- iar with the dairying industry who would be capable of acting as an assistant cream buyer and who could also do office work. By cream buyer they mean in the managing end only. He would not be expected to go through the coun- try and solicit business, but rather act as an executive in their general office. Mr. Ridgway could make no rec- ommendations for these good posi- tions, as every senior in the Dairy Husbandry Department has already committed himself for employment [after graduation. ill — di ~— | REGULAR MEETING OF THE CAMPUS STUDY CLUB TUES. | the next regular meeting of the club will .be held Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. J.

THE “A” BATTERY FRESHMAN PICNIC With a Par.y of Bryan Girls Eat Lunch on the Banks of the Brazos River Last Saturday evening the “Fish” of Battery ‘“A’, assembled at the J. W. Batts home where they found waiting for them a coterie of the belles of Bryan and College Station. After all had arrived, the party de- the Brazos. The picnic cloths were spread under large oaks near the bank of the river where a most sumptuous lunch was served. After [lunch the merry party returned to | Bryan where a most lively program lat the Queen occupied another fleet- ling hour. After the movies the en- | tire party adjourned to a near-by | confectionery where additional re- | freshments were furnished by Mr. Braden, the Sunday School teacher of the “A” Battery Freshmen. Special credit for this most pleas- ant evening goes to Mr.. Clarence Braden, a most royal host and enter- tainer and to Mesdames Milton Sims, Jr. and J. W. Batts, who acted as chaperones. DR.

He will return to College next September. Mrs. Campbell will visit her mother | at Palestine, Texas, during the ab- | sence of Mr. Campbell.

VS. parted in cars for Jones’ Bridge on | Dr. Franklin Henry Giddings, Pro- fessor of Sociology and History of Civilization in Columbia University, spoke in Guion Hall Sunday evening on the subject of “Some Perils to our Civilization.” The entire stu- dent body and many Campus people heard Dr. Giddings. “Very great dangers confront our civilization and it is for us to look at them frankly and fearlessly and make ready to deal with them fear- lessly and courageously,” he said. Civilization is the result of cease- less thinking and toiling by men of many generations. It has blazed up at times and then again has died down almost to the point of extine- tion, but always it has grown again, glowed up and spread over the world making the life of man happy. In the task of reviving -civiliza- tion, the men who think, work and invent are the most essential factors | for they are the rare ones. Liberty | has a price—eternal vigilance; also | civilization has a price—unceasing thinking and tireless effort. The First Danger. One of the most threatening and serious dangers confronting our civ- |ilization that commands our consid- eration, is not so acute, but is just as real and acute as it was in 1914. It is from those peoples and person- alities that still believe the greatest achievement a nation can hope to at- ‘tain, the greatest glory to win an. enjoy is military success, aggression and conquest. Don’t close your eyes to the fact that less than half of the people of the present civilization thoroughly abhor war and desire to prevent war and would bring about lasting peace. More than half are in a very differ- ent stage. Nations are now prepar- ing for war who do not propose to let military and naval powers remain as they are until they have tried for what Rome was once, what Assyria was once and what Germany hoped to be. More thanone-half of the pop- ulation of the world lives under po- ilitary pomp. Yet you are called an alarmist if you say these things. Al- ways they say you wouldd have us spend our strength and. resources jn facing a bogy of your imagination. I have this to say whether you are right or we who see the danger are right, one thing we can all do, which is only reasonable to do. And that is what hoth of you and I in our saner moments would say was good to do. If you object to military training, to the manual of arms and of discip- line as things which will wreck a life. Do you object to having training in setting up exercises, object to learn- ing alertness, power of co-operation, to endure a few simple hardships, to (Continued on Page 4)
