Company “F” Notes.
We should be and are proud to see
the College add another branch of the
Service to our R. O. T. C. Unit, but we
regret to lose men to this new Air
Service branch. The following men
have been transferred to the new unit:
Junior, J. E. Gardner; Sophomores, P.
W. Burns, A Dahlberg, J. H. Edgar,
W. C. Hale, O. A. Proehl, and A. Wat
son; Freshmen, W. J. Laswon and B.
F. Yates. These men have our best
wishes and we hope that they are suc
cessful in their new organization.

compose the team that is to play

will be used against Rice.

CARRIED OUT IN A MUSICAL
GALE.
Cortez Potts,
Dressed up fine,
For he intended that evening,
With his girl to dine.
He put on his serge,
And his whitest stock.
And in a box of bon-bons.
He soaked his last rock.
He’d gotten a close shave,
And a haircut, too.
And between the close cut
His ivory done showed through.
He met the fair maid,
And they began to talk;
As they promenaded
The Military Walk.
The brainless “fish” band
Was out that day,
And up the Military Walk
They began to play.
Now a bunch of fish,
They never fail,
A chance to carry a soph
Out in a gale.
And when the band saw Cortez,
Out with the Miss,
They just couldn’t fail
On a chance like this.
So they ganged around the couple.
Both left and right.
And the discords they made
Were an awful fright.
Potts turned white
Then changed red,
And the color quickly rose
Even to his close shaved head.
To say he was rattled,
Is putting it mild,
Poor Cortez
Was simply wild.
And as the crowd around
Began to laugh,
Cortez was as lost
As a frightened calf.
What the fish got
Later that day,
I will not at present
Stop to say.
STRANGE TO SAY
My pa is a traveling man and
H: * *
I declare to you that traveling

Every morning he would hear a

And—well that’s where he makes

The connection.
YOU TELL ’EM.
He spoke to her quite harshly.
“Why don’t you dress before you
start?” he said.
“I’d just as soon see you put on your
stockings in the carriage as your
gloves.”
“Yes, she answered, simply,” most
men would.”
BEFORE BREAKFAST.
Say, Colonel Cape, did you find Dr.
Ball the other day £ when you went in
to his office at the first door to the
right on the third floor?

When Captain Edwards received
his unofficial promotion, he had at
least one sympathizer—one of our
beautiful stenographers who lends so
much glorious local color to these
drab surroundings sat on the steps of
old glory and shed bitter teers of
grief and indignation at the atrocious
act.

during the Between-Term Holidays
was Prexy’s office, especially if we

with Potts and Pans.

When taking a girl to the movies,
it is always advisable to have before

Charlie Nitch hired a nigger to do
some pressing for him. The coon
made it a point to be late, day in,
and day out. One day, however, he
was there first, and Charlie, wantnig
to show his appreciation, delivered
himself thus: “You’re early here, of
late, you used to be behind, before,
and now you’re first, at last!”
AT THE OTHER SCHOOLS.
University of Virginia.—Owing to
the fact that the Harvard track team
has two men that have negro blood,
the U. of V. has cancelled the pro
posed meet with this team. The U.
S. Naval Academy has also cancelled
their meet with Harvard for the same
reason. There are so many - South
erners on each of these teams that
embarrassment would surely result.
—College Topics.
L. S. U.—Earl Ewen, a freshman at
the University of Louisiana State,
has been appointed captain of the
machine gun company. This is the
first freshman to ever hold this rank.
Ewen is an engineering student, and
was a captain in this branch of the
service during the World War.—
Reveille.
Colorado Aggies.—The Colorado
Agricultural College took third place
in the National Western Stock Show.
The placings were very close as Kan
sas won first with 3,623 out of a pos
sible 4,000, Nebraska second with 3,-
483, Colorado Aggies with 3,468.—
Rocky Mountain Collegian.
Baylor-Belton.—The custom of the
college seniors of wearing the Ox
ford caps and gowns to chapel and
such other occasions has been reviv
ed. The re-appearance of this custom
for the first time was on Jan. 16.—
United Statements.
Burleson College.—The Burleson
College has just started a student’s
paper. It is put out by the Junior
class.—Burleson Burr. (We congrat
ulate Burleson. From the running
start they have taken, we predict a
great future for this publication.
SCANDALOUS!
T’was a dark and dreary night.
(Tragedies always await such a time.)
How did Furneaux that Steele
stole silently into the room and kiss
ed his lady Love? Awakening from
his Knapp he Wendt in a run across
the hall to the scene of action, just
in time to hear the fair damsel say
“Dewitt don’t you and Albrecht ever
shave? How dare you scratch my
face with those awful whiskers.”
The Key to the scandalous affair
still remains with Wooley, who is Eh-
lert to the situation and wont divulge
the secret but seems to Foster it in
his own mind.
But Hale! Little Boykin tell you
all about it. The secret at last— “If
she won’t let a potato masher how
can a lemon squeezer”?
