To carry out the perfect week end
which had been started with the "T”
dance on Friday night in Bryant and
also as an opportunity for everyone
to loosen up for the R. V., a corps
dance was given Saturday , nighu
The A. and M. Five offered the music
for the occasion and registered a hit
with the crowd. They performed ex*
ceptionally well taking into consid
eration the length of time they have
been playing together' and everyone
predicts a jazzy future. The out of
town element lent much enthusiasm
and interest to the affair, as civilisa
tion alwwys does. A program of ap
proximately eight dances was com
pleted and the beauty of it all was
there was. no buttons, etc., to lie
swept up the next morr)ing. The
little verse
‘ "Hush little ahimndy/
Don’t you cry.
You'll be respectable
; • Bye and Bye” j
doesn’t apply particularly at College
Station because the shoulder roll is
confined strictly to reveille • exer
cises. The Irftest as seen that night
was the “chaparal run.”
These corps dances are to be giv
en as regularly as possible between
now and the R. V. Hop in April. So
come out and make .mates of those
two left feet.
Notice was given by the Freshmen
at Company E to the effect that they
have organized a baseball team and
would like to match a game with
other Fish teams. If you want a
game see Pruitt, captain of E Com

equal to the members of the other
classes. After shout an hour’s ride,
the party arrived At the Ranch House
of Mr. J. B. Dunn where they were

nations, red and white, being the col
or scheme.

Miss Lola Wilson, Dr. Black berg, J.
P. Mockford. and sortie other mem
bers of the party, took a trip to the
woods in s wild violet picking con

for the lost guest of honor ended af
ter thirty-five minutes in finding Miss

bers which was now joined by Dr.

with some “jazz” music. Then fol
lowed a baseball game m which the
young ladies present made a- grand
showing. Miss Lola Wilson pitched
for one team and Miss “Birdie” Dix

with two men on bases. Miss Wilson
struck out the next three batters.

various members tested their ability
as bronco bu-ters. the young ladies
displaying great riding ability. Then
followed an auto ride to Wheelock.

and all present expressed their most
hearty thankfulness to Dr. Black-
