We are sorry to learn that during
the holidays our assistant editor Mr.
A. J. Potts %as called home by the
death of his father.
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.”
