Last Thursday the senior pri vates were given permission to form a separate company on the left end of the battalion. About twenty students fell into the rear guard last Thursday at noon and marched to the mess hall. The senior privates appreciate Capt^ Sargent’s kindness in allow-, ing them the privilege of forming to themselves, and to be absent from all roll-calls, except retreat; and we hope that they will show their appreciation by keeping good order and setting good examples for the under classmen. Mr. Wil son was chosen as commander for the squad. The ladies of the campus have re quested the editor of the Battalion to ask the students to stand back off the field when the boys play the company football games in order that the campus people may get to see the game, too. We hope that the boys will stay off the field and not crowd around the players so that the ladies may get to see the game as well as the boys. If the^etudents will get somewhere on the sideline and sit down then everyone can see and enjoy the game. When the boys crowd up on the field they interfere with the game and keep anyone from seeing. THE PSALM OF FOOTBALL. Tell me not in mournful numbers. Football is so very tame; For the player’s dead that slumbers, That you know is part the game. Football’s real, football’s earnest, . And the grandstand’s not the thing, ILet each player play his derndest. While trumpets blow and cowbells ring. Not by slugging nor by frown, Is the way to make a hole; Play low and push, that every down Finds you ten yards nearer the goal. Let us then be up and doing, Have a slug for every pate: Still a bag of wind pursuing, Learn to kick the football straight. If the opponent’s back is very stout. Tackle low, try hard to put him out; • Press your knees gently(?) on bis head. And twist his neck until he’s nearly dead. —Exchange. EXAMINATION SCHEDULE—FALL TERM, 1904. THURSDAY, DEC. 15.

To our Alumni and Friends: This little folder is the forerun ner of volume III of The Long Horn, a publication issued annu ally by the Senior class of the Agricultural and Mechanical Col-1 lege. While the Senior class is directly responsible for its appear ance, the entire corps is behind the enterprise. The Long Horn is no maverick. It is branded A M C on both sides, and is marked with a two-bit joke on each page. When we run out of jokes we print pictures of Freshmen, which never fail to create smiles. The previous issues of The Long Horn have won some praises and captured a prize or so. * This year, by a judicious mixture of brains and enterprise, we hope to produce a thoroughbred tempered with common sense, flavored with wit, and tinctured with the high life and sentiment abounding on the fourth floor of Gathright Hall. It will take a little money to feed and groom our wardling. We want you to help by agreeing to take a slice of the finished product. The early comer gets the choice cuts. Two dollars is the price to everybody. The book will be handsomely bound, and will contain at least two hundred pictures. The halls and buildings will be shown, as well as the familiar views around the campus. The classes, clubs and societies, military organiza tions, our athletic teams, all will be represented iu The Long Horn. The various courses will be written up in an interesting manner, ac companied by interior views of the different departments. Short snappy stories will be inserted here and there in the volume, giving an insight to the life of the A. and M. cadet. A large part of the book will be given up to jokes and grinds; noirteVen the dignified faculty will be spared. Pen and ink sketches, both comical and artistic, will b3 numerous. The publication of this year will not be a sermon, but more like a minstrel. The end men may not be black, but our jokes will doubtless appeal to the bald beaded row, from whom we expect a few boquets. You can serve two purposes by responding to this call; first, 3 T ou put yourself again in touch with the vital life of the college by looking at it once more through the medium of the students who now give the institution being— you feel young by coming in touch with the thought and aspi rations of young men passing through experiences once familar to you; secondly, your small con tribution helps to make possible a book worthy of our common Alma Mater, whose very existence de pends most surely on our love and willingness to sacrifice for her. So don’t lay this appeal aside. We need your help; we promise to give full return value for your money. Sign the enclosed printed slip and return to the business manager, and expect to see some time in Maya handsomely bound book, fit to lie on your center ta ble or in a prominent place in your library —a book which is an offer ing of love from its makers to that larger outside world whose affec tions center about the Agricultu ral and Mechanical College. Very respectfully, O. L. Forsgard, Editor-in-Chief. D. IS- Pendleton, Business Manager. The Boa ton Inn’s Incidental Remark. He—Will you marry.me? She—No. thank you. He—I thought perhaps you wouldn’t. How do you like that con tinued story that is running now in the Atlantic?—Somerville (Mass.) Jour nal.
