MOST ELABORATE
AFFAIR EVER
HELD IN SCHOOL
We, the Editors of this, the Junior Bat
talion, do publish this edition with the sincere
hope that it will meet with the approval of all
concerned.
We have not tried to exert our mental
capacities—as in the class-room—in producing a
publication permeated with deep thought and
logic. We, however, feel that at times one must
relax from the vain realities of this life of from
dust to dust and give vent to “take and receive”
in a friendly and jocular way.
Our time has been limited and therefore
our rendition may possibly contain a few sem-
blences of errors. * 1
But remember—to err is human—and all
typographical errors should be attributed to the
publishing company.
Nevertheless, we find ourselves in the same
boat as our estimable forefathers who drafted the
constitution.
As they lived with the hope that their con
stitution would buffet the changeability of time
and come through unscathed; so do we, the Edi
torial Staff, live with the hope that our constitu
tions will be unmolested.

TO A CLOSE FRIEND.
Heres to the ‘keenest’ on the campus,
But not the kind to vampus.
Though you “cut up” just with me
It’s certainly not for jealousy.
And when you “open up” and are so
bold,
I like to “run over the things of old.”
For many years we’ve had a ’’case”,
I’m hoping, dear, we keep the pace,
And there’s none to take your place
As you softly stroke my face.
Some complain that whiskers tickle,
But, my dear, you’re not so fickle.
When it comes to stepping out,
You come first beyond a doubt.
But I’m often rammed a few
’Cause my love for you’s untrue.
So here’s to you before dress parade,
My faithful straight edge razor
blade.
LIABLE AND LIBEL
A TRUE STORY
SO HELP US ALL
Sensational Trip Made Over a Goodly
Distance in a Short Time
Sometimes.
The clock struck the half-hour.
Leaping from my reverie and down
four flights of stairs I hastened to
the Interurban Station. My chagrin
was visible when I was informed that
the car had shoved off about twenty
minutes earlier.
Too tired to catch it I decided to
wait for the next car. Accordingly,
I returned to my room and prepared
all my lessons for the ensuing day.
I then returned to the station.
My consternation was keen when
suddenly the clear clarion clang of
a cow-bell announced the approach
of the King of the rails. Thirty min
utes later the motorman with his
shirt-sleeves and the car rolled up.

The Aggies won their thirty-fifth,
straight athletic victory for this
school year here yesterday by defeat
ing Baylor 3 to 0 in one of the
fastest games of base ball ever played
at Kyle Field. Nine full innings were
reeled of on exactly one hour and
twenty-eight minutes and each of the
two thousand fans were well paid for
their time and money. Henderson,
working on the mound for the Aggies
was never better and had the Bears
eating out of his hand at all times.
He allowed but three' hits and struck
out eleven of the Bears and two of
the Bear’s hits were of a scratchy na
ture. Behind perfect pitching of
Henderson the Aggies played brilliant

outwitted the Sophs, and had safely
escorted Toastmaster Bill King .
the Mess Hall/ it was thought best to \l_~ -
call time fo ra few moments and
change from fighting clothes to eve
ning dress. This did not take long,
however, as everyone fully realized
that an unexcelled spread was wait
ing in the Mess Hall.
Promptly at nine o’clock, the doors
opened to one of the most elaborate

a history of the Junior Class; W.
