BLACKSMITH SH : P (
PHONE No. 507 I
TWO AIRPLANES ARE
WRECKED AT COLLEGE
Machines Bringing Apparatus to
Radio Mechanics School Are
Unable to Return to
Houston.
■ Lieutenants C. D. Tuska and S. F.
Kelley of Ellington Field had a close
call on their lives late Thursday after
noon on the Campus when their plane
was wrecked in the tree tops as they
sought to return to Houston after
having brought a load of radio ap
paratus to the Signal Corps service
company school for radio mechanics
being conducted at College. Fortun
ately, they escaped without a scrotch.
The narraw open space on the Cam
pus, making it difficult for the plane
to rise, is held responsible for the ac
cident. The plane was completely
wrecked with the exception of the
engine, which can be repaired.
Another plane, in which were Lieu
tenants E. N. Pickerill and B. J.
Tooher, also brought a load of ap
paratus from Ellington Field. This
one had no difficulty in landing and
after its occupants had assisted their
fellow-fliers in shipping their machine
back to Houston, they sought to re
sume their return trip to Ellington
Field Friday morning, but their plane
was finally wrecked about a mile
. Southwest of the Campus, though
the fliers escaped injury. Motor
trouble was responsible fo rthe ac
cident.

RABBI’S RAVINGS.
I am not the most
* * *
FORGETFUL person in the
* * *
WORLD by a long shot,
* * *
STILL, I can forget things
* * *
LIKE the day I promised to
* SH *
PAY back that two dollars
AND the day of that girl’s
* * *
BIRTHDAY (The girl being
* * *
THE one I am not “wild,
ifc * *
SIMPLY wild over”).
* * *
IN the future I may forget
s{s ;{s ^
THE date that President
* * *
WILSON has invited me in
* * *
FOR dinner, and I may
* * *
OVERLOOK the day friend John D.
* * si*
AND I were to have a conference
* * * '
ANNUAL session of the Agricultural
^ * * *
& Military (!) College of Texas,
sf* * *
1916-1917: When I served out my
* H* *
SENTENCE as a ‘FISH’ (Practically
H* ❖ *
SPEAKING!) That memory
* si* *
IS one that will give me j°y
* * *
IN my old age, and will be as
* H* *
BALM to a wound thru all the*
* * *
CARES and worries of the future
* * *
YEARS!
* * *
ABOUT those new oil wells,
* * *
AND the night of the Millionaires’
si* * s?*
BANQUET may slip my memory,
* * *
AND I’ll be certain to disregard
* * He
MY New Year’s Resolutions, and
THE IDEA: Some Things are For
gotten, BUT Others are NOT!
’21
IN “M” COMPANY.
We have a gentle Corporal,
A dear ^nd lovely “scout”.
He has a bad, bad case of “blues,”
But why? We can’t find out.
FORGET whether the man across
* * *
THE street is Smith or Jones,
si* sf* si*
AND the day and year of my
si* si* J{*
OWN entrance into this ‘vale of tears’
si* s*: H*
MAY become rather unsettled in
* * *
MY mind; BUT There is one.
* * * .
DATE, time, place, latitude
si* sjc H*
AND longitude, altitude,
* * *
EXACT location, position, et cetera
* * *
THAT will always be as fresh as
St* sfc H*
THE taste of garlic in a Dago
* * *
DINNER! This is the forty first
Now we’ve been working on a plan—
Done all we know to do.
To get him to tell us, if we can,
What makes him feel so “blue.”
«* ■ i
But all we’ve done is yet in vain;
He will not say a word.
I guess we’ll “ride another train”—
We’ll ask a little bird.
We know that, if the girls could vote,
But, hist! here comes a dove.
And from it’s mouth i t dropped a
note:
“ ‘Hack’ Frazier is in love.”
’21—
THE JAPANESE ESTIMATE OF
A. AND M.
Men come to A. and M. from a.ll
countries. The idea of one of our
Japanese students concerning this in
stitution and its activities can be well
understood by a letter which he
wrote home to his parents in Japan:
Dear Hon. Parents, .
This are a school of much conse
quences. My ignorance has been
emancipated to a great intent since
I were first confounded here. First
in the morning I are shocked out of
snorous sleep each morn, before it
'are fully arrived, by the blowing ol’
Hon. Gabriel’s horn. (This are
called revelry). Then I must quick
ly discover the absence of Hon. cloth
es and retire my self in the same.
Secondly I arrive on milinery walk #
where Hon. kompany are aggravated
together again to dispair to Sbisa
house where dishes of much exigency
are dismayed before me. When I
am thru I feel much as a Promethian.
After dinner if their are - no Hon.
Classes to intend I go to Y. M. C. A.
House or Hon. Library, which are a
room of undiscovered knowlege
where I amorphosly seize funny pa
pers and extract its foolishness. On
Saturdays I and Haslekey go oil
lightning rod train to Hon. Bryan
city where I suggest to Hashkey we
digest the emotion picture show. We
are remitted to drink grape juice
and other strong drinks of the same
denature as the Hon. William Jen
ny Bryan. From here we go to our
rooms to await Hon. Sentinel Dejec
tion. Finally sentinel come round
and require how everybody are. It
are not long till Hon. Gabriel Horn
whistle good night and we elope off
to bed feeling like the last sardine in
Sbisa cafe.
Hoping you are the same, I am,
Your son,
Tike Harniko.
_’21^—
Mr. Green while out driving in his
new Ford the other day, rushed head
long into the College-Bryan interur-
ban.
With blustering authority the con
ductor got off the car to investigate.
“Whats the matter with you?” he
demanded. “Don’t you know you
can’t run under this car with your
top up?”
