Not lonp since an appeal was made
by someone in the student opinien
column te elect officers and .direc
tors of all enterprises, club, activitV,
etc., for next year. Let us Five em
phasis to this suirF**tion and try H
explain why this is a necessity rather
than a mere conventionality which
has been overlooked durtnjc the pa^t
two or thr*e years. In the .majority
of - cases the men selected have ha.I
nq experience in the line of duty of
v. htch the) must serve regardless of
what this undertaking may he. Th-?
Longhorn editor-in-chief and busi
ness manager have been elected an-
have practically completed their ar
rangement 4 and contracts : for next
years’ boot. If a man is elected to
fill some position a good while before
being in school he is lost getting a
start on account pf conditions about
him and also commercial conditions.
Let him be thinking the proposition
over during thd summer months so
he can get lined up and be reaniv
with the smarting of the school year
rather thai having the game delay
ed. Some organisations that should
comply wr.h this appeal and request
are; All county clubs and other
wise. scientific societies, Ross Vol
unteers. etc; An editor of The Bat
talion Should be elected immediate
ly as well as business manager. In
general a!> offices should be filled
which require time to get acquaint
ed with the duties of same in order
that the j school year of i 1920-21
might get a proper and right -tart.
Think it ever and get behind the
men who .ire responsible. The Jun
ior Class should be having more
meetings' concerning these- proh-

• The Sophomore edition of the
Battalion exceeded the expectation*-
of everyone besides those directly
concerned, namely the Sophomore
Claaa It was a success in the
strictest sense and sbqwed the result
of work and many worthy, attempts.
It certainly covered their part of the
Junior Banquet tjD'j perfection and
should serve as a wonderful memoir
of those trying times. The editorial
and business' staffs are to be con
gratulated. Thf editor of this edi

he compiled the P

In the opinion of ten Horticultu
ral students and as ; many young
ladies of College and Bryan. Deafn
and Mrs. E. J. Kyle are the greatest
and most gracious entertainers of
young people.
Saturday momiag the group of
pleasure seekers following plans
worked out in advance by Dean Kylo
boarded one of the big two-ton Col
lege trucks and were driven by
Captain Watkins to the Kyle plan
tation on the Brasos River. The
morning was spent in a search so
and down the banks of the> river for
a good camp site. When ttu* w.ts
selected the cloth was spread and
then covered Watf^-eats of the angehc
variety, no club house sandwiches o;-
peanut butter, hut roast pig, chick
en, cakes, sherbet! and t accessory
dishes. In the afternoon pairs be
came exploration- parties, fishing and
hunting parties and rambled* stroll
ed. hunted and fished; and leaving
sentimental and tempermental top
ics for the imagination it; may he
written that resulta'pf the after
noon's recreation and work included
frog legs for supper. ,
The great events of the trip, how
ever. did not take place until the
moonshine sifted its soothing heaais-
through the leaves and turned the
thoughts of the adventurers to classi
cal things. Then the danqr began.
It was in fhe plantation house, the
visible harmony of the dancers com
bined with the audible harmony of
the Ethiopian Five Plantation Or
chestra and made tfie surrounding
woodlands ring . with the reverber
ating rtraing never ceasing. But be
fore this setting lout its distinguish-^
ing churacterist.es of the exception
al the merrymakers retired to the
river b*nk* and there in a clearing
hound on the one aide by the trees
hnd on the other by the threading
stream of the river, the merriment
began again and progressed under
the light of the moon and on the
carpet that mother nature provided
for the tread of all Jier animalk.
The sentiment thlt attached to
this situation was appealing and it
was late when the necessity for
cessation became sa - acute as to be
apparent. [ .1 | IJ
But even that does not end this
unusual story of the natural. Lt is
no suitable ending for such a story
to have the characters retire to a
modern farm house for sleep- • The
close to nature tondc was strong in
their veins after this day of exciting
adventure and the only, posaib’e
thing to do was 1 ,to . sleep on the
ground. Thanks to the cadets, they
had come 1h full pack, so skelter
tents were pitched and the dying
music of the Darktown Quintet gave
way to the whoo-whoo of the owl,
-the croaking of the^rog”. usd squar
