Say Bo! Didja ever slip down
Behind the old barn, and gently
But firmly rope that three year
Old steer, with the avowed
Intention of either riding
Him or giving him a darn good chance
To ride you? And when you
Goe the old boy tied up
Close to that post-oak
Tree, didja fix a rope
Surcingle securely about
His circumference, and don
That pair of long shanked lock row-
eled
Spurs? And didja mount your steed
And cast off that post-oak anchor?
And did a battle royal take place,
for each coach have been provided.
The C. E. Department generously
furnished the room in which Mr.
Munson has been holding forth with
his Hydraulics class and Mr. Sulli
van turned it into several smaller
rooms.
The improvement at Kyle Field
has been needed for some time and
the benefits that will be derived will
more than offset the .cost. Under
the supervision of the Agricultural
Engineering Department tile drains
are being installed and by next sea
son rain will not interfere to any
marked extent with the conduct of
the games. Mr. Snyder states that
the plan embraces a well balanced
system of drainage and after it has
been installed the field can be drain
ed in twenty-ffive minutes. Work
will begin immediately and we will
be given an opportunity to see how
the drainage system works this
Spring.
And after a few minutes of mighty
Bucking, bellowing, and other minor
Accessories didja feel that
Old surcingle give way, on the
Mightiest upheaval of them all?
And didja sail away into space
Only to come down in a sitting
Position with your legs folded under
And at right angles to those
Long-shanked, lork-roweled Spurs??
Say Bo, didja?
I didn’t neither.

Corps Dance.
For the benefit of the lame and
halt, Social Secretary H. M. Tatum
was host at the first dance of the leap
year last Saturday night. We are
even surprised and gratified that the
admission took no leap.
“Bull” Johnson’s suspenders and
blue shirt were missed; but his for
mal natty attire and pleasing grin
was the favorite of the night. It has
been devoutly wished that “Petey”
Wilson had been there to demonstrate
the “flea-hop” alias “Powder-puff”
dance.
The report is that one boy fell down.
Modesty restrains the editor from us
ing his own name. “Discretion is the
better part of valor.”
The music was good? Of course!
The Aggieland played—Barney Dodd,
featuring the vocal. A good spirit of
enthusiasm prevailed and the dance
was acclaimed a success.
Introducing a drawing card for the
oncoming Barnyard dance it was an
nounced that ‘“Pewee” Faucett, “Flat-
tonia” Berger, “Bio” Bowden and
Charlie Regan have promised to be
there so the girls can have a good
time.
