THE BAtTA LION
Thi» is a tale of a bright jroaag lad.
Who wrote a long letter to his foolish

His Was a backward old father you
aae, ; . j /i
And he, a bob as arise as a freshman
oan be. * .1 »!
i i W r j /' . i j: I
i can’t bat aronder how in thunde-
The Lord could ccmaiit suck an sw-
( dal blunder, .
j As to harden this ap-topiate “slime”
With a father so frightfully behind
Mow let me see. It was about niaety-
i i tw *’
Whaa Billy’s old * man Anally got

He’d talked it oeer year by year,
But aerer had mentioned a social
rr- H
So our young hero began in a whirl
And set off to Bryan in quest of a
* , 'I • r
The minute he landed he made an
impression
And promptly decided he Imd Vm all
He brushed right in to th« town’s
•lit*,;
And Aguaratively speaking—took the
▼•ry front seat.
The lack of finances became a great
•? '
And that was the reason he wrote to
his father.
“Now Father Dear, you must hear
Of a pearl of a girl. I’ve met dawn

It’s all so strange, and I’m so
changed
My lifes fate, of late, has all been
rearranged.”
The rest of the letter yoa’U hare to

Her name, Mias Blank, is the only
No : move of interest, with possible
exception.
Of a plea for a check thst’d pass In
spection.
The letter came. The check was in it
And fatherly advice to go the limit.
“Yea, my son, daddy understands.
And thanks the Lord you are in such
g<»o 1 hands.” |r

? Co A has more pep than any other
company on the campus in several
wnyW
. " ;8©c»aJly—we are mighty stlwpf.
' Co A’s Sunday school class gave a
social not l^ng ago, and had about
fifty of the prettiest girls in Bryan
out. For intertainment we had songs
by our well known quartet and alsi
solos by several Bryan laides. Next
came t%e Mock Track meet, some of
the events being the standing broad
grin, potato race, relay race on ono
foot, apple biting contest. Ice cream
and cake was served.
In athletics—A Co is setting any
other company a lively pace. She
has at present four men on the base
ball squad, and three out of the four
are expected to make letters.
1 Oar jazz band ia also something
to beast of. It is composed of, ta-n
“ukelele’i”? a violin, a sigar box and
some tin cans. At our nightly stag
dances we have from twenty to thir- ,
cadets present.
Sergt. H. C. Atchison’s frequent
and mysterious visits to Bryan, arr
causing general concern in this <£«.

In days gone by the Band m
bera were never given officers ip
regular military organisations «
side of the Band, but that e
was dropped with the appoiatmen 1
Captain Murrah and 1st Lt. W
land as ofleers of the Signal C
Unit. There are always some
men in the Band and we do not
ieve that they should be confi
-to the Band alone as regular
officers. ' j 'i,' •

you can prepare to pull off
hats and loosen up your lupga, be

stepping out in full force and show

Frits Murrah aught to get a job
in a flour mill, he seems to be pretty
good at dusting flour tacks.

Now that the band master and
the captain know who’s wikt; and
when and where, the band is ia bet-1
ter spirit*. Two bosses over the*
same thing do notvwork and we don’t
blame our captain for wanting to’
resign.
One M. V. Collines, better known
aa “Big Boy”, left us last ytarj
to join the Navy and was sta
tioned at San Diego, California, and
Boston, Mass. Once more the,walls]
of our hall echo with the sonorus vi
brations of that beloved gob stirk.
and it is evident he is the tame oldj
Big Boy it once more with us.
The Band hatched out a few new
corporals and sergeants the other day
if all have been givta their stripes
in the usual manner.
General Order No. 606.
Published for the information and
guidance of all concerned.
Cadet C. R. Warndof, for being
on the campus Sunday without per
mit, and absent all formations in
Bryan, is hereby given credit for 10
demerits, and is confined to Bryan

“Sofa”' mysterious two-light sys
tem was a success, until the Sergeant
closed the door from the inside.

a flea on his person!!

It is rumored that “Hugh” Cariker
ia going to get a new uniform!!!!
Is it POSSIBLE???

paases the course for him.
Poor “Kike”!I He made a nohl#

It has at last dawned upon the
Fish of Cp. D, that buying the Frst
Sergt. cigars, does not excuse them
from Reveille.-
