THE BATTALION

INDEPENDENCE
DAY DANCE ON
NIGHT OF MAR. 1
Social Secretary Arranges for Appro
priate Dance on Next Thurs
day Night.
On March second, eighty-seven
years ago, a gathering of Texans met
at Washington, Texas, and solemnly
resolved to settle all questions at is
sue by these words. And it is because
the declaration of independence, made
by those delegates of the people of
Texas, was accomplished and that next
Friday, March second, has been de
clared a holiday that we might suit
ably celebrate the anniversary of our
liberty.
Liberty is ours and since we have
nothing to fight for we will spend the
day in rest or in making up back mork
in Horizontal Engineering. But our
valiant social secretary, realizing that
“idle minds breed evil thoughts” has
decreed that the night preceding or
Thursday night, March first, shall be
enjoyed at a Texas Independence
Day Dance, to begin at 8:20 p. m. in
the Mess Hall Annex. And because
there is no duty the next day he
assumes that we will be allowed to
dance until 1:30. Special features
have been arranged that will make
this hop quite different from the reg
ular corps dances. So if you have a
corps dance date you’d better change
it to this date for there will be no
corps dance this week.
The Aggieland Orchestra, with its
new additions, and reorganization,
“can’t be beat.” They have secured
some new music and this will be our
last opportunity to hear them synco
pate before they go to Ft. Worth to
play one of the leading roles in the
Fat Stock Show.
Our last dance was marked by the
absence of the fairer sex. Boys, that
girl is just waiting for an invitation
to come down, so if you can’t get a
date in Bryan, “Say it with letters.”
Let’s make this dance a true remem
brance of the day we celebrate.
An American bride, returnig to the
hotel after an early morning walk,
stopped at a door which she imagined
to be the door of her husband’s room,
saying: “Honey, it’s me; let me in.”
No response.
“Honey, it’s me; it’s Mamie; open
the door.”
Still no answer.
“Honey, Honey; it’s me, honey.”

bathroom.”—London Caterer.

Three-Act Comedy to be Given by
Dramatic Club in Guion Hall
Saturday Night.
What would you do if you had in
vited the one and only girl to your
room to have luncheon and the chap
erone did not apper? Would you sit
in sullenness and despair, and bewail
the fact that the fates had been so un
kind or could you find a solution for
the prevailing difficulty ?
If you are a conscientious objector
to fun and laughter, they you will not
be interested; but, if you believe that
laughter makes this old world spin,
the opportunity is at hand to give it a
few more twirls. The Dramatic Club
is presenting a play—the three-act
comedy, “Charley’s Aunt’, in Guion
Hall on the evening of March 3, at
eight o’clock. This play is a fantasy
of college life and is now being played
in over sixty colleges. In fact, dur
ing the late war, the play received the
prize as being one of the most mirth
provoking comedies in all England.
The play is not claimed to be highly
intellectual, but it is known to be
greatly amusing. And so if you can
enjoy a good laugh, do not fear its
consequences, and feel that a few
hours aside from the realities of life
are worth your while, see and hear
“Charley’s Aunt” on next Saturday
night.
Work on the play has been in
progress for sometime. The following
cast of characters is announced:
Brassett C. C. Rogers
Jack Chesney H. E. Wjlson
Charles Wyckham O. S. Mingus
Old Spettigue E. A. Davis
Amy Spettigue Adele Jones
Kitty Verdun .Elsie Duncan
Dona Lucia Ruth Watkins
Charley’s Aunt Zay Smith.
In addition to the company of dra
matic players, the' Ferguson Bros,
added “The Spanish Troubadours”,
eight in number, instrumentalists, so
loists, singers, and dancers, musicians
of the highest order, who are really an
evening’s entertainment by them
selves. These excellent artists will
appear between each act every night,
assuring you that there will not be a
dull moment during the entire eve
ning.
Mrs. Milton takes great pleasure in
personally reccommendnig this excel
lent company of actors and musicians
as being the best that has ever been
in Bryan, and knows that you will
thoroughly enjoy their three-day’s
stay at the Palace. The regular pic
ture program will continue through
the afternoon, and just before the
curtain rises.—Adv.
“They all went “Up in the Air
About Mary,” because she was quite
contrary! She teased and tantalized
them all, and led them a merry
chase.—Adv.
“Ready in a minute,” she called to
her husband.
“No hurry now,” he answered a lit
tle later, “I’ve got to shave again.”—

Did you ever see a cool million in
jewels ? This may be your only
chance to ever see it, so come to the
Palace tonight.—Adv.
There was a negro in an old South
ern town who had a remarkable mem
ory; so the white men decided to try
him ont. One man was dressed up in
a fancy costume so only' his voice
could be recognized. This man came
up to the old darkey out in the field
and pointing his finger at his asked:
“Do you like eggs?” The negro re
plied, “Yas sah.” The man walked off,
he left town.
Six years later the man returned.
This time he aproached the negro, and
demanded, “How?” Whereupon the
negro replied, “Scrambled sah.””
Judging by the pieces Fairley and
his band are putting out they must be
trying us out.
