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.

as we did.

when a twenty minute intermission
came. 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.

ure at being present, and spoke of
how much the college meant to him
after twenty-seven years. He told the
high school boys of the Aggie spirit,
of the difficulties they had to meet
here in the old days, and of how
overcoming these difficulties helped
them in later life. He spoke of sev
eral of his former classmates, many
of whom are leaders in Texas today.
Cadet Sergeant Lyles of Kaufman
