FISH TANK POPULAR.
Swimming parties with “eats on
the side” constitute the most popular
amusements at the College these sum
mer months. Every few evenings col
lege folks go to the old fish tank
either in autos or on wagons, enjoy a
swim, and some good food.
In the afternoons the trail to the
tank is kept hot by men who walk
over, take a plunge and then walk
back. A better place in which to
swim can not be found.
“SADIE MAY” RYLANDER
REMEMBERS OLD FRIENDS.
“Sadie May” Rylander, of San
Marcos, promising football man, and
all-round good fellow remembered
his old friends Dudley Moore, Joe
Rogers, Coach Graves, Horace Saw
yer, “Dad” Neyland, Ike Ashburn,
and others with a pecan cake this
week. It was “some” cake and the
gang is wishing that other old friends
at home would remember the boys on
the firing line at A. & M.
THE VETERINARY HOSPITAL.
THE CORPS GOES TO DINNER.
KEASLER DEIGNATED AS HONOR NAN
RECEIVES APPOINTMENT TO 0. S. ARMY
Colonel T. F, Keasler, one of the most popular and efficient colonels
in the history of the A. & M. College regiment, received the appointment
as “honor man” from the A. & M. College. This designation carries
with it the appointment to the United States Army as a second lieuten
ant. / _
Ability as a military leader, good moral character, and general fit
ness as a soldier determine the appointment. The selection is made by
the Commandant and President.
Although Keasler has not definitely announced whether he will ac
cept the appointment or not it is generally supposed that he will enter the
service immediately, there being many vacancies now.
POSITION OF TUTOR
CREATED FOR “FISH”
W. L. FIRTH IS NAMED.
Former Instructor and Coach at
Allen Academy Will Assist First
Year Men in Difficult Subjects.
The appointment of W. L. Firth,
instructor and coach at Allen Acad
emy for the past few years, as tutor
for freshmen at the A. & M. College
has been announced by President Biz-
zell. Mr. Firth will begin his new
duties with the opening of school in
September.
Each year a large number of first
year students are dropped from the
college rolls because of their inabil
ity to keep up with their work. In
most instances men so dropped are
men who are lacking preparation.
Mr. Firth will make his home in the
dormitories and will be at the service
of any cadet who is in need of assis
tance in any particular subject.
Firth also will assist in athletics al
though it is not definitely known, just
now, what his duties in that line will
be. He has been highly successful
in o track and probably will have much
to do with the coaching of that team.
“I want it distictly understood that
Mr. Firth will have absolutely noth
ing to do with discipline,” said Pres
ident Bizzell in announcing his ap
pointment. “He will make his home
in the dormitories but he will not be
responsible to the Faculty or Com
mandant’s Office in any sense of the
word. I am of the belief that Mr.
Firth will be able to help many stu
dents over the roughest places in
their college career, which come in
their Freshman year, and hope that
the boys will call on him freely.”
BUILDING HOUSE FOR
COACH GRAVES.
Work has begun on a new home for
Coach “Tubby” Graves. The new
house will be located near the recent
ly constructed home of George L.
Byars, superintendent of building and
grounds. It will be of frame con
struction.
Three other cottages will be con
structed during the summer months
for various employes of the College.
A new home for the Commandant
will be built soon, also, as the house
where he now lives is to be moved
from its present site.
