Several new students have entered school. The Battalion wishes them success and hopes they will add their names to our subscription roll. Mr. Higgins who was here during the terms of ’02 and ’c3 and ’03 and ’04 and for a short time in Septem- I ( her, has again entered school, taking electric work. Miss Helen Bittle came home from San Antonio where she is attending ! school, for the holidays. Dr. Frank Bittle and wife and Mr. G. M. Bittle and family also spent Christmas with Dr. T. C. Bittle. Betty Harris, the day after he arrived back at College, came out of a coke and found ‘^Mama” written all over a piece of paper in front of him, still he says he is not home sick. Mr. O. D. Hargis has accepted his former position as Instructor in chemistry. Mr. Hargis is too well known to the people and students for it to be necessary for The Battal ion to say anything in his behalf. He is very popular with the students and we feel assured that the corps of cadets and the people of the campus heartily welcome him back among us. Mr. Crooks is a live, stirring and energetic first-sergeant. He never lets an opportunity pass to push C company to the front iq every line. When the Whitney Brothers Quar tette was here on Jan. 6th, Mr. Crooks, with his quick observation saw at once that one of the brothers was fine football timber, and tried to persuade the gentlemen to join C company. Mr. W. F. Jones, our former drug gist, resigned his position a short time before the holidays to accept a position in a drugstore at his home at Hamilton, Texas. We regret very much to lose Mr. Jones, but we hope he will be successful, and feel assured that he will be in his new line of work. Mr. Jones was a warm friend to the boys and was well liked by everyone. Gugenheim must have been in an extended coke last Sunday morn ing when Captain Sargent inspected. We are sure he was thinking of the fair one that he left behind. When Captain Sargent entered Mr. Gu- genheim’s room and inquired of him when he returned and what kind of a time he had spent during the holi days, Gugy was a little flustrated and finally stammered, “Very pleas ant, what kind of a time did you have Captain?” The Cof(er. THU NDE RATION. The world goes on without a single hesitation. The holidays have passed and with it dissipation. And we return, but without animation; For mighty things are wrought by examination. Blake, company D’s “fool back.” Won’t somebody call McFarland down? Why does Milliken wear such a long face? The senior M. E.’s had a “cranky” “exam.” in machine de sign. Dobbins was in a hotel during the holidays and he admired the cigar clipper in the office. He ad mired it so much that he stuck his finger in it and let the machine chop down on it. The hotel clerk kept the end of his finger for a souvenir. The junior C. E.’s hope that their new text book, “Roads and Pavements,” will be as easy as dirt, but they fear it will be a little rocky; anyway it will not be a walkover. Uncle Pike Netherwood—“I had a fine time at home Christmas.” Haltom—“Did you go to see the girls any?” “Uncle Pike—“No.” Haltom (in astonishment)— “What?” Uncle Pike (confidentially)— “Why, yes. I saw two or three girls once. That was when I went to the postoffice.” mmmmm m m m m m m m m m m m m s m m m © m m m WE SELL THE m CROSSETT SHOE I m m t $3.50 and $4.00 For Men only.
