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.
Have us make that Photo that you promised
your girl. Save money by giving us an order
