Office BENEFICIAL TRIP FOR A. AND M. MEN At the close of school in June there former experiences at Kansas City and at Monte Ne, Arkansas, that they are going to go to Estes Park this time in order to hear these leaders will be open to cadets who enjoy wholesome, beneficial pleasure, a trip. A trip which in its effects upon the lives of the men who take it will be as great as would the Panama-Pacific Exposition trip itself, though in a different way. The Y. M. C. A. Sum mer Conference will be held at Estes Park, Colorado. Estes Park is a beautiful little vil lage situated in the Rocky Mountains, near the Front Range, in Lorimer County. Long’s Peak, in this range, about ten or fifteen miles from Estes Park, is 14,271 feet high. Anyone can see by the pictures on the bulle tin board in the lobby of the “Y” that this place is about as near ideal for sports such as mountain climbing, cave exploring, trout fishing and plunges in cool spring water as one could select, as well as for an encamp ment, because of the climate. The main object in one’s going to this convention, however, is to be as sociated for ten delightful days with some of the greatest men, along re ligious lines, in the world today. Such men (whom we may well term world wide men) as John R. Mott, “Dad” Elliott and Arthur Pugh will give one an inspirational message which he cannot help but feel and to answer God’s call to a higher, nobler, purer and more fruitful Christian life. Our late convention here at A. and M. gives one a mere taste of what he will enjoy there at Estes Park. Several cadets have heard some of these men and will tell you of the power which they have had over their lives. Some of these students have been so profoundly impressed by their again. More men from here ought to and will go. Anyone may go who wishes; but he who goes should do so with an open, receptive mind to the influences of the Christian at mosphere in which he will spend that ten days. The International Committee of New York has offered to pay $12.50 on each delegate’s expense. It will cost one his car fare and ten dollars for program fee and automobile transportation from the nearest rail road station, about twenty miles away, to Estes Park. All Texas men and those from Ok lahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas will probably go by a special train. Al- ‘ together, there will be seven or eight States represented by about three or four hundrd men. You will find this body of men about as clean a bunch of gentlemen as one could wish to be associated with. It will be expected of the men who attend this conference to take a lead ing part in the Y. M. C. A. work next year. Every man who goes will want to be among A. and M.’s Y. M. C. A. live members next year. Twenty will not be too many to represent this school. Let’s send them. VAUDEVILLE GIVEN FOR THE BENEFIT OF Y. M. C. A. A GREAT SUCCESS. Last Wednesday evening a good vaudeville show was given by a num ber af the campus ladies, under the di rection of the campus ladies. The good attendance brought forth are equal to that of professionals. The program was started by “Tip perary” and “Back to Michigan” by a chorus by Thomason, Graham, Looney, Dudley, Stoner and Witcher. Then O. F. Spencer entertained with a solo. One of the most impressive acts was a folk dance next, given by little Misses Bizzell, Kyle, Frapps, Ball, Bolton, Fer- mier, Burns and Blodgett. C. D. Stoner brought down the house with his recitation of “For We’re Only Poor Weak Mortals After All.” Miss Anita Park took every one back to old plan tation days with her reading. The novel burlesques of the faculty took the house completely. The cast was: (1) Prs. Bizzell—Graham. (2) Liuet. Hill—Thomason. (3) Dean Puryear—Dudley. (4) Dean Kyle—Witcher. (5) Prof. Fermier—Stangel. (6) Prof. Ball—Zuber. (7) Prof. Potts—Stoner. (8) Prof. Bagley—Looney. (9 )Mr. Chatham—Crocker. (10) His Clerk—Pierson. Mr. Redlich gave a good burlesque on a German song, and was followed by a duet by Miss McGinnis and Mayo, Reel, James, Batte, McGinnis, Terrell, with a chorus of Misses Maybe, Ter rell, Batte and James. A good take off on a Woman’s Club meeting was ren dered by Misses Park, James, Batte, McGinnis, Terrell and Maybe. Every one enjoyed Miss Maybe’s character sketch of an English dude. The pro gram was closed by “They Didn’t Be lieve Me” and “Ting-a-ling-a-ling” by the full chorus. Mr. Ike Ashburn was “Chief Announcer.” “Cop” Forsyth—Say, Guy, give me a chew of tobacco; Mr. Hanson wants a smoke. We wish to thank the entire Sopho more class for the assistance that has been given in publishing this issue of the Battalion. In publishing this pa per the same spirit and enthusiasm has been shown that has character ized all other Sophomore activities— Sunday afternoon “pep” meetings, etc. In former class editions the edi tors have been confronted with a lack of material. In this issue the main drawback is lack of space. Many ex cellent articles have been turned down because we have not room to publish them. If all the material turned in were published the Sopho more Bat would resemble a good- sized Longhorn. We are indebted to Miss Louise Proctor for the society and campus news; especial thanks are due to F. W. Halsey, L. L. Kotze bue, J. R. Barnes, A. L. Hudson, B. G. Moreland, M. G. Gilfillan, J. H. Har- digg, E. P. Hubbard, M. Mitchell, F. J. Hockaday and M. B. Gibson. There are other contributors, but these have been most active in helping to pub lish a Battalion which we hope will meet with the approval of the class of T7. “Fish” May (to Red Holland—Do they have retreat when they have grand guard mountin? “Slick”—Say, ’fessor, what is a tailor’s goose? “Fish” Hammel — Dutch, lend me one of your shoes. Dutch Weiler—What do you want with it, “Fish?” “Fish” Hammet—There is a wash on the river and I want it for a bridge. “Bull”—What is the duty of the rear guard? “Young Napoleon”—-To lead the re treat and carry off the ammunition.
