The absence of ice is beginning to
make itself noticed as these May days
get warmer. Thirsty students are
wondering whether we are to have
the accustomed barrel of ice water at
the halls this year.

College Station, Tex., May 3, 1912.
The closing social function of this
college year, the final ball, is only
five weeks off. This ball is given by
the underclassmen and professors in
honor of the departing Seniors. For
some of the Seniors, this may be the
last time of enjoyment at their alma
mater and it should be the best. Ev
erything, whether begun well or not,
should end well, and we should desire
the final ball to be a fitting close for
four years of hard work. The first
recalled recollections of any place are
usually of the last received impres
sions while there, and every Senior,
in recalling college days, should re
member the final ball as the crowning
good time.
All underclassmen that expect to
graduate wiji -(DallaiT, ^/^Vi&sonL^
sition of
win
men i
Fellows, try to think^M this posi
tion and do all that you can to sup
port the coming final ball. The best
support that you can give is that
which will be requested by your First
Sergeant in a few days.
The better this final event is pulled
off, the better the Seniors will appre
ciate it and in departing take with
them a lasting memory of a “royal
time.”
Last Tuesday evening in the Elks’
club rooms, which were very prettily
and artistically decorated with roses,
carnations and wild vines. Miss Mary
Ross Parker of Bryan entertained her
many friends of both College Station
and Bryan with a dance given in honor
of her two visitors. Misses Johnson
and Giddings. The grand march was
led by Miss Johnson and Mr. Jack
Gordon. Next came Miss Giddings and
Mr. Osborn Johnson and Miss Mary
Ross Parker and Mr. Bob Hearne, fol
lowed by some fifty other jolly
couples. The arrangements were all
that could be wished to make a suc
cessful dance. The floor was in the
best of condition. The music was fur
nished by Besere’s orchestra of Aus
tin. There was punch and ice tea to
quench the thirst and chicken sand
wiches to appease the hunger of
all. A more pleasant evening was
never spent than this under the hos
pitality of Miss Mary Ross Parker.
