THE STORE FOR YOUNG MEN \ y> ' / .... .. PEPPY FOOTBALL MEETING HELD IN AIRDOME (Continued from Page 1) In fact “Cue Ball“ is a pioneer in the use of the slide-rule. “Zephyr” Brackett was unques tionably chosen “Cheer-leader” be cause of his beautiful and extensive supply of ’air. Besides the above mentioned offi cers there are many other famous foot-ballers who will help hold the Faculty team above defeat. “Doodle” Avent, a physical giant, is expected to break up the op ponent’s offensive or anything he can get his hands on. “Doodle” is an ex pert in interference—especially of light. “Slim” James is the back-bone of the aggregation and as end-man will receive all of the forward passes, but “Slim” never passes himself. “Terpsichore” Riffenburg knows all the latest side-steps and he is ex pected to bore his way through the opposition. “Terp” has developed a wonderful stiff arm by writing stiff examinations. “Gilly” Geist as draw-back, has a wonderful reputation and he, no doubt, will draw a large crowd. “Rinctums” Lavinder may make the team by a close shave. “Sec” Bailey is sure to be a run ner-up but not for gubernatorial honors. “Book Worm” Cheatum is going out for the team with the purpose of getting by with anything besides the ball. “Book Worm” was author ized to take the measure of the team for suits. It is certain that he will give them all a fit even if he does have to trim them. “Organfoof Lange has consented to “feeture” all games with music. Sweaters and gold footballs will be awarded by “Reckless” Driver and it is hoped that the gold does not corrode before they are received. Much interest has been manifest ed in this combination of the 57 var ieties and the student body eagerly awaits developments. It is expected that much use will be made of their famous “E” and “F” formations. Football lovers, the world over, know that their “Graduation Shift” is much deadlier than the Minnesota Shift. PROVERBS A LA A. AND M. “Make hay while the sun shines” is translated by some of our social lights to read, “make love while the moon shines.” + • * “Time is money,” but don’t go to the Exchange Store if you haven’t but a few minutes to spare. * * * “Ignorance is bliss” and all it takes is a Physic Prof, to show us our blist ers. * * * “Reading maketh a full man” and yet we go to the Mess Hall at meal time. * * * “Alls well that ends well” but a good beginning make a hit with the Profs. * * * “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,” provided the bird’s of val ue. A buzzard is worth more in the bush. * * “The early bird catches the worm,” but who wants to get up early for a worm ? “Faint heart never won fair lady,” but the married ones tell us faint heart of times proves a blessing. * * * “A stitch in time saves nine” and often a ram at inspection. * * * “A friend in need is a friend in deed,” especially if he is in need of a large amount. ♦ ♦ ♦ “A rolling stone gathers no moss,” but it oftimes rakes in the pot. * * * “Early to bed, early to rise, May cause you to flunk But it’s good for your eyes. * * * “To err is human” and some are more human than others, but the Profs, don’t allow for it in grading. * * * “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches” but most of us have a hankering after the riches. * * * “He who laughs last laughs best” provided the fellow who laughs first doesn’t laugh so loud as to drawn out the last fellows laugh. * * * “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” They may hang you lor imper sonating a Roman but outside of that its a wise plan. * * * “All that glitters is not gold” but it often clinks as loud when dropped in the collection box. * * * “Brevity is the soul of wit,” but if you try to be witty on a final examin ation you will learn that “Brevity is the sole of witt.” ‘WHO SAID EGOTISTIC?” In the dear old days of not so long ago I was with Uncle Sam, where were you bo? I was also a K. P. but shoot, that’s not much. In my regiment there were fifteen hundred such. I was doing my best in making de mocracy free. In company with my company—old Company D. In the mornings with a bucket and mop, I’d prepare myself for a German wop. I did not mind this even a little bit, I’d made up my mind to give Heinie a physical fit. I miss those days not so very distant gone. I’ll sing to them forever in the an them of a song. Immolator, but not Ego, my dear friend that’s me, I was in the Arm—HELL NO! THE S. A. T. C. THE STUDENTS ALMANAC The authorities at this College for bid that any student should have a deck of cards in their possession. But they have overlooked the fact that a deck of cards may be used as an al manac. There are 365 spots on the cards, the number of days in a year; there 52 cards, the number of weeks in a year; there four suits, the num ber of weeks in a month; there are 12 picture cards, the number of months in a year; there are 13 tricks the number of weeks in a quarter, therefore, there is no reason why a deck of cards could not be used as an almanac for the students at A. and M.
