THE BATTALION S great lights flared forth in the great Moslah’s Mosque till the wee small hours the next morning. The dance commenced with a grand march and the honor of leading this conflict was divided equally between Frank Judd and W. H. B. Sullivan and their company. The crowd came from everywhere; Dallas, McKinney, Cor sicana, Weatherford, and even D. X. BIBLE was there. The music was the greatest feature of the dance. They were Cahoon’s Novelty Orchestra. They possessed a charm all of their own and all that kept us from appreciating it more was the place where they had to play from. They cooperated with the management to the fullest extent— they played the “Aggie War Song” like it had never been played before and the surprise of the evening was the playing of our battle hymn “Wildcat”. They played it for us to yell by then for us to dance by. The dances moved languorously— the Moonlight Barrage forged forth and the antique hall came into its own when the gleaming lights were glittering spectres among the droop ing Spanish moss taken from oar own Brazos bottoms. And it was “Hot-lips” that caused the sweet young things to step it off as it isn’t usually done. The huge spot-light kept the bolder ones at bay and st the end of this dance our own re nown “Benny” Garrity consented to lead the dusty crew in a few pierc ing yells and the song was sang. The Club has only one sad regret to make in regard to the dance and that is our football representatives and president of the Club was un able to attend the dance in person but his everlasting goodwill was with us. As a wh<Li o we take for grant ed the dance was a mammoth success due to the many favorable comments as the dance came to a close. The dance committee for the Ft. Worth dance was: Arrangements; D. W. Carlton, Decorations; E. H. Moore, and Music by John Cunning ham. We hope all had as big a time as we did. The Dallas A. and M. Club. The Dallas A. and M. Club held its second annual Christmas ball at the Jefferson Hotel on Friday night December 30th, with one of the most fittingly decorated ball rooms that pleasure seekers have ever seen. The swaying strains of Dick Rich ardson’s six held sway until twelve James Drug Store JAMES W.

The couples withdrew to the quietitude of the Jefferson Grill and were -served. At one-thirty, three hundred red baloons were distributed to the girls filled with gas which caused many shrieks of feminine nature as they were exploded by some unwary dan cers. The climax of the “Morn ing” came when the confetti was dis tributed in paper sacks while the couples were having a gala time dancing the two spotlight numbers. Immediately a barrage of confetti was laid down upon the couples and the slow falling confetti glistened in the rays of the spotlights like snow- on a December morning. The dance ended with twelve numbers at two- thirty, which was all too soon for the light hearted Christmas spirit of the gay couples. Marshall Club Has Big Banquet During the Holidays. On the first of January the mem bers of the Marshall Club assembled to partake of their annual Christ mas luncheon. Every one was present at the gathering, even those who came to this grand old institution as far back as 1901. After the cockle- burrs and pine needles were remov ed from the hair and clothing of the members who did not return to College this term—this is East Tex as, you know—the banquet proceed ed. The interior of the dining room wms decorated with holley, bamboo, A. and M. pennants, and flags, all of which were blended together to form a beautiful background. Music kept things lively until the big bak ed turkey arrived upon the scene, then the work began. When every one had eaten his fill, cigars were passed around and the pen for which A. and M. is famous was started. Among those present were J. E Bloodworth, ’21, who is acting as county agent in that vicinity; Harry McGee, ’21 who is now employed to chase the pink boll worms; and Dah- mer Livingston, ’21, who has just re turned from Alabama where he has been managing a big peach oi’chard. When every one had had his say and told his biggest yarn we decided to adjurn until six p. m. Kaufman Co. Club Banquet.
