THE BATTALION
BIG NOISE MINSTEL
WAS GREAT SUCCESS
(Continued from Page 1)
the entire cast have worked hard;
to all of them goes the credit; and
here’s our best wish that they may
take the Big Noise out into civiliza
tion and let others enjoy it as we did.
for The Battalion to print everything
else; but the work of the entire cast
was always much above the ordinary
and deserves all the applause that
commended it. The redoubtable
“Catfish” in mournful accent, pre
ceded his entrance with the an
nouncement that he could shake
everything except the shimmy. But
he could shake the audience with
laughter and once, toward the last
of his last song, the old roof and
rafters oscillated audibly. Jack Fin
ney made a gem of real sentiment
out of “That Tumbled Down Shack
in Athlone.” “Skinny” Vandervoort
won an enchore in “By-Loe,” that
crooning song of sleep time. His
lyric tenor was admirably suited to
the song and made it a very effective
number. The Cast-Iron Quartet—
Tucker, Wilson, Knickerbocker, Van
dervoort—made real harmony in
their group and the insistance of the
crowd 1 for more showed the good
taste of the crowd. “Breeze” by
Todie Riley, was good. Riley filled
an end-man’s job for the first time
and filled it well. Red Thompson
and Sunshine Mayo, old men at the
game, kept the old peppery ball roll
ing from their end of the line. Dud
ley Moore, interlocutor, was thor
oughly master of his position and,
with the four end men, during the
gaps between the music kept the
audience in an uproar. George
Young showed that he had a gift of
observation and appreciation as well
as of whistling in his imitation of
bird calls. The chorus gave a very
effective medley of the latest songs,
srenc'ng the harmony well balanced
aTiu^adapting itself to the time and
spirit of each individual selection
with a thoroughness that could only
have been the result of natural abil
ity and hard work. There is nothing
in the music world, perhaps, that is
so thrilling or so subtly appealing as
the college chorus of men’s voices.
It should be developed more at A.
and M. “Catfish” Goodman can al
ways be relied upon in his songs and
his last born to an A. and M. audi
ence followed one of his best. He
has made his college years felt in
many ways at A. and M.; he can
point to many lasting characteristics
of this College and say “I gave her
that.” That was the title of his last
song, and, while his swan-song, had
none of the traditional mournful
ness. “Cat” could not be expected
to have the eyes of his last audience
clouded with tears. Far sweeter to
him is the rattle of the nails in the
four-by-fours heard deep beneath the
Farmer rebel-yell that makes the
bloody Sioux war-cry in its grave
turn green with envy and color the
grasses of spring that send their
roots into its decaying dust. Yea,
verily, Mr. Goodman was enchored.
Dudley Moore announced the final
number and the curtain slowly fell
as the wonderful melody of “Carry
Me Back to Old Virginny” closed the
Big Noise of 1920.
The Big Noise was a success. And
indications are that its success will
be fully reflected in the 1920 Long
horn, for the benefit of which it was
produced. R. B. Goodman as di
rector, has added another success to
his long list. Finney and Franke,
in charge of art titles. Bill Holik,
electrician and P. B. Price, proper
ties, played a big part in producing
the show. Conscience was floor boss
and it is to the credit of the corps
that she had no trouble in keeping
good order. The men in charge and

THOUGHTS ON LIFE AND
BUSINESS
By C. B. Forbes.
The fellow who isn’t fired with
enthusiasm is apt to be fired.
Excess is an arch enemy of suc
cess.
If top-notch effort wins you no
happiness, there’s something wrong
either with you or your efforts. Sit
down and do some analyzing.
After all, you’ve got to give full,
fair value. Or you won’t last.
Carlessness and failure are twins.
The most valuable “system” is
a good nervous system.
Saving is Having.
don’t spend it with someone who
hasn’t.
Don’t simply see how you can “put
in the day”. See how much you can
put into the day.
Never contrive to make it easy
for your concern to get along with
out you.
Make sure the prize you chase is
worth the price. If you cultivate
your talents you’ll always find an op
portunity to use them.
When in a fix, sweating will get
you further than swearing. Let
mules do the kicking,
much as steering wisely.
Don't expect poor work to lead to
brilliant work hereafter.
You have no idea how big the
other fellow’s troubles are.
It’s all right to aspire to control
others, but have you began with
Number One?
Notice that two-thirds of “Pro
motion” consists of “Motion.”
There is a better market for
smiles than frowns.
The highest form of salesmanship
is nothing but service.
The only influence worth havin.,
is the influence you yourself create.
The wages of idleness is demotion.
There is no higher rank than that
of worker.
No title can ever make a loafer a
noble man.
There must be output before
there can be income.
Defeat is often a spur to victory.
The best reward is sense of
worthy achievement.
Good times for all can only be the
product of good work by all.

MIDNIGHT MUSINGS
What makes girls act as though
they don’t think you really mean it
when you tell ’em they are beau
tiful?
* * *
You never can tell about girls. But
that’s all right. Just give ’em a
chance and the sweet things will tell
quite enough about each other!
Gentlemen, we repeat with all the
force and emphasis of a Firm Be
liever that the girls who send boxes
to A. and M. are the Sweetest Girls
in the World. There just ain’t no
doubt, it’s SO!
* * * *
Think how many people there are
in the world and then listen closely
and try to hear the small noise you
make when you try to knock some
thing.
Don’t forget Norma Talmadge is
in town today at the Lyric.
