KIDNAP JUNIORS
THE WHOLESALE.
Thursday night will forever be a
memorable one fn the history of the
college considering the fact that three
of our men were wafted away into
the unknown and scarcely before they
were miaaed. The history of such ‘kid-
nnptions” will probably not be writ
ten in historic script but nevertheless
there was something in the abduc
tions that makes us take notice. We
cannot offer any solutions to the
problem, however, it seems that the
Sophomonse were gloriously admitted
to ,the sack holding association.
First, Pinkney Price ^ was forced
to depart to greener fields and we
might state that his retreat wa
quiet one as nothing was known of
his abduction ’til Friday morning.
Secondly, T. Burns was lured to tho
telephone office and another Junior
disappeared from the horison. Third
ly, on Friday morning, what might be
termed as a small mob enthroned
Toadie Todd’s room and after a
much one sided rush carried away
numbev three, namely Scott Alexan
der. But let it be said here that old
man Seott departed fighting and
fought until it came time for a cer
tain track meet in Dalis. (And it
took handcuffs to hold him).
The history of where these young
men we retaken is too long to pub
lish in a special edition of the Bat
talion so kind readers please excuse
it’s absence. However/ p word to
the wise, ere admire the Sophomores
pep and enthusiasm in trying to get
the toastmaster—AND—more, dear
COL. DOUGHERTY TO ATTEND
' ARTILLERY SCHOOL IN
FgANCE.
On Friday, May 9, the cadet corps
shared an equal surprise with Bat
tery “A”. On that morning, LL CoL
L. R. Dougherty received a telegram
from the Artillery Chief of Staif,
stating that he ss to be ordered to
prevailed that he would soon receive
orders to leave; but we are glad to
know that this is not probable. The'
Colonel does not know the details as
to what his orders will be, or where
he will be sent, but onty what the
telegram stated. He will go to
France for a five weeks’ Artillery
School Training, at the end of whicn
he will return to his present position.
Although only supposition t he be
lieves that he will not be ordered to
leave until after the college year
closes.
LL CoL Dougherty came to A. and
M. on February 17, 1919, and during
his three month’s stay he has won a
warn place in the hearts of the stu
dents, especially among the artillery
men. He has done everything in
his power to made the battery “A-l”
and we are glad to say that his Ef
forts have not been in vain. We
wore glad to know that he was not
apt to be taken from us fceford June j
that he will be hack next September;-
and all are interested in anything
which will be of benefit to him in
his artillery work, ns ve feel that
» trip,will. Tho Cdktfitl is an
onicer who brings n feeling of “part
nership inteiest” over his men, sad
it h this feeling which will always.
