APPEAL TO SOPHOMORE CLASS THANKSGIVING HOP ARRANGED (Continued from Page 1) dance given by the Elks at their club in Bryan on Thursday night. Other wise, you will have to “take your girlie to the movies”, or sit on some one’s porch and listen to the gTass grow. For entertainment Saturday eve ning there is to be a Corps Dance in the Mess Hall Annex. This will, no doubt, be as well attended in pro portion as the Hop, and everyone is urged to stay over as a good time is always had at our Corps dances. During all these activities every student is cautioned to be on his good' behavior. The Thanksgiving Hop is one of the biggest events held at College and the manner in which we act at the dance will determine our standing over the State. Let us re member to behave as gentlemen, for as the old saying goes: “others must, gentlemen will”. No one here must; we will. RABBI’S RAVINGS Do you realize what is happening to the class of ’22?

BASKETBALL NEW CENTER OF ATTRACTION Aggie Prospects Bright With Five Letter Men Back. With the closing of the most suc cessful football season A. and M. has ever had all eyes naturally turn to the prospects of a winning basket ball team. With the football champ ionship and the Stock Judging championship safely stowed away the proteges of Coach Driver have a precedent that is hard to beat. Prac tice is progressing with a snap and a vim and every man who contem plates trying out for the club should be on hand at the very next prac tice. One of the reasons why Coach Driver is showing the preliminary practice so hard is that three games have been scheduled for before the holidays. The Baylor Medics of Dal las are billed to meet the Farmer Five here the week before Christmas for a two game series. Inasmuch as this school starts basketball about the time other schools are starting football they should provide a hard game for the ambitious Aggies. It is greatly regretted that Long- cope, last year’s Captain and star forward, is absent from school this year. This leaves Captain McQuillen the only real vtteran on the squad, he having seen three years of college basketball. From last year’s quint Williams and Forbes remain in ad dition to McQuillen, while Dwyer and Gouger are letter men from ’17. Hortung, DeLee, Ehlert, Knicker bocker, March, Pierce, Burks and Keen are all men of experience and with such an aggregation there will be no end of competition at the Gym this winter. HOP SPLENDID (Continued from Page 1) programmes which were very ap propriate for the occasion, being en graved with the ornament to be placed on the team blankets, and inside the team’s picture together with its achievement, the first dance com menced. Holick’s Jazz Band pre sented the crowd with insuperable music in a most exquisite selection of dance pieces. During the third dance, Garrity at the head of the band which played while marching, the well known tune “Wild Cat”, followed by a bunch of Fish who seemed to be perfectly conscious to objecting to Taps call and dressed like they were enjoying Mardi Gras, marched into the Mess Hall. Dancing stopped, while they gave some yells, and as they entered they left again. This is the first time a stunt of the kind has been done. It increased by far the spirits of those present by the addition of more pep. We sincerely hope that the pi’actice shall continue in future years. Eleven dances and two ex tras were danced. Everyone who danced will never while he lives for get this time. Here’s hoping for a yet greater success next Thanksgiv ing. WANDERER’S CLUB GETS PINS. Hitherto the Wanderer’s Club has had no pin but this year the subject was discussed soon after organiza tion and Vice-President F. L. Bert- schler was appointed to design an appropriate emblem. The accepted pin is of gold, the central portion be ing a reproduction of the Western Hemisphere, surrounded by a narrow margin bearing the raised letters: Wanderer’s Club, Texas A. and M. C. OUR SWEATERS dent having his home residence out side the state being eligible. The purpose of the club is to promote the A. and M. spirit among those who have come from other states and for eign countries to claim this school as their alma mater. A live and inter esting year is predicted for this or ganization. COLLEGE DEAN HONORED AT STATE TEACHERS ASS’N.
