THE BATTALION 7 ANNUAL CLASS FIGHT ON. Last week marked the beginning of that same old antagonistic spirit which has characterized this place for many years—namely the sopho mores trying to capture the junior toastmaster, and prevent his pres ence at the annual banquet. Actions and demonstrations so far recall the old days of 1917 when the battle of Leggett Hall took place and showers of bricks, bottles, clubs, ammonia and other playful articles. Now as then enough common sense and strategy has been displayed where by no one suffered and serious conse quences from an encounter. Last year it was the plan entirely to use strategy and right well for the class of ’20 was the first to have a toast master in many years. Organization reigns supreme this year even to the extent that wire less telephones are being contem plated. Numerous Juniors have been taken on short vacations so far and there seems to be a desire to make it a long trip soon. Last Tuesday witnessed the first skirmish when the abduction of Higginbotham was at tempted—without success but with bruised heads, loosened teeth, scarred hands and dirty clothes. Dr. Bizzell on Monday gave his sanction to pro ceedings as long as everyone stayed in his right mind and did not go to the extent of destroying property or trying to inflict serious injury. Mil ner Hall was the center of attraction late Monday evening and night, mak ing neutrals feel they were in a stockade waiting for an Indian raid. New talent for the bugle corps was developed when someone got out his fog horn and played the Chinese revielle during the dark hours. It is certainty however that things are waxing warm with the heat and ex plosion to follow. THE SAME OLD THINGS This world grows better, year by year, Because a nurse in her little sphere, Puts on her apron and grins and sings And keeps on doing the same old things. Taking the temperature, giving pills, To remedy mankind’s numberless ills; Feeding the baby, answering the bells. Being polite with a heart that rebels. Longing for home and all the while Wearing the same old professional smile: Blessing the new-born babe’s first breath, Closing the eyes that are still in death. Taking the blame of the doctor’s mistakes— Oh, dear! what a lot of patience it takes! Going off duty at seven o'clock So tired and discouraged you’re ready to drop. But called back on "Special” at sev en fifteen, With woe in her heart, but it must not be seen; Morning and evening, noon and night You do it over and hope its right. When we lay down our caps and cross the bar, Oh, Lord, will you give us one little star To wear in our crown, with the uni form new. In that city above where the Head- Nurse is you. By J. S.—1919.
