THE BATTALION
PLANS FOR THANKSGIVING
HOP ARE UNDER WAY
At a meeting of the Senior Class
held last Wednesday afternoon the
following committees were elected to
complete plans for the Thanksgiving
Hop and festivities accompanying it:
A. L. Egan, arrangements; E. H.
Moore, finance; L. G. Jolliff, floor; T.
H. Baker, decorations; O. P. W’ey-
land, music.
The news of this election should be
of striking interest to every man who
has been to a dance at A. and M. for
they know that it is the supreme gala
affair of the fall term and a fitting cli
max for a successful football season.
For the information of the “Fish”
the Thanksgiving Hop is an annual
dance given by the student body in
honor of the football team—that
bunch of gridiron warriors who sac
rifice all the social functions up
through Thanksgiving day for the love
of the game and old A. and M.
In the writer’s opinion they deserve
all and more than we can possibly
give them in the way of a dance. So
when your 1st Sergeant comes around
for that dollar to defray expenses for
this dance dig down deep in those
old jeans and come across.. Think of
the many sacrifices that old team has
made for you and it will make you
feeel glad that you can do even that
little bit of help to put the final
touches to its football season.
This year, as in previous years,
there will be two dances. The first
being a formal dance on Friday night
following the game on Thursday, and
the second on Saturday night which is
an informal affair. The best music
in the South will be produced and of
course the lovliest girls in the land
will be on hand, so "Fis»h”, “Soph.r*”
Juniors, Seniors, Graduates, and
others kick in that dollar and make
that date. LET’S SHOW A DESERV
ING FOOTBALL SQUAD THAT WE
REALLY APPRECIATE THEIR
EFFORTS!
“BOOMERANG” PREWIT.
J. D. Prewit, business manager for
the 1923 Longhorn, “south-paw” pitch
er for the Collegian baseball team,
a frequent visitor of the near by jun
gle-towns, and “shimmy-shakes”
North-East of College and one-half
mile West of Bryan, a snake-charmer,
a cow-judger, a horse-rider, a heart-
breaker, a lady-killer, a lover and ad
mirer of the feminine sex until recent
occasions, which seem to have brought
a change for the worst. Least but not
last, “Boomerang” is a man in his
ways and always comes twice before
h : s opponent can exercise the proper
means to null his “bullish aggressive
ness”, a man noted for his military
ability by being promoted from a
fourth-year sergeant to Captain of
“H” Co., “Shiek Battalion”, at times
a kid in some of his amiable ways,
who recently fell for a girl in Dal
las, and whose mother fell for him
with the “hot end” of a broom-stick
about 12:30 p. m., which caused him
much annoyment for the time being,
and caused him to seek refuge on the
steps of Ross Avenue Baptist Church,
at 5200 Ross Avenue, where he in
silent prayer invoked the aid of Diety
until picked up by a good Samaritan
Jitney-driver at 4:30 a. m. and car
ried to the Jefferson Hotel, where he
engaged a bed and slept his troubles
away.

NEVER SAY DIE.
You are sick of the game, well now
th&t is a shame.
You are young, you’ve got guts
and you are bright,
You have had a raw deal? A. and M.
.men don’t squeal,
Pep up, do your darndest, and
fight.
It is easy to cry that you are beaten
and die,
It is easy to crawfish and crawl,
But to fight when hope is out of sight,
Say men, that’s the best game of
all.
