s YHH BATTALION feature all of the week’s dancing parties. The second day, Friday, will be marked by the R. V. banquet, a tea dance, in the early afternoon, and a baseball contest on Kyle Field between the Texas Aggies and the Baylor Bears. The Ross Volunteer Hop will be staged on that night. This dance will be marked exquisitely by the ap pearance of the R. V. uniforms, and Captain F. S. MeGee, commander of the Ross Volunteer Company, and Miss Mary Beers will lead the grand march. At the termination of the grand march, the mirthful couples will begin their terpsichorean ecstacies and will carry on till two-thirty A. M. The R. V. exhibition drill will be the attraction on Saturday afternoon. The second baseball game of the series which will have great bearing on the Southwest Conference championship race will take place Saturday after noon. A vaudeville presentation, fea turing eight entertaining acts, will be given in the Assembly Hall in the early evening. The proceeds from this show will benefit the Dairy Hus bandry Judging Teams of 1923-24. The R. V. Corps Dance, the last event of a gala week, will rage in Sbisa Hall from eight-thirty till twelve; then the merriment will be prolongued only through memories. May the mem ories last infinitely. The decorating work, which will feature a beautiful spring garden hovered by Mother Nature herself, has already begun. All arrangements for the entertainment schedule have been completed, guests are assured a won derful time. Through the columns of The Battalion, the A. and M. student body and Faculty and the Ross Vol unteer Company extend a hearty in vitation to all for attendance here during the festive week. MR. FRILEY TELLS OF EXPERI ENCES OF OCEAN VOYAGE (Continued from Page 1) and wave to make a lively background without being uncomfortable. Sunday was an ideal day, the ocean compara tively calm, very little wind and a de lightful spring sunshine. It was hard to realize that we were in the month of March, which is reputed to have such terrors for the luckless traveler across the seas. Frankly, I do not see how a voyage could be more pleas ant. Life on a big ocean liner is just one thing after another. At 7 o’clock I am awakened by a voice at the door of our stateroom advising that “Your bawth is ready, sir.” And I step in to a delightful warm sea “bawth” which in itself is almost worth the trip. Then at 7:30 Prexy is aroused by the same cheerful words. After that we walk around the deck seven times—a mile—then into the dining room for breakfast. The morning goes by very quickly, what with read ing, resting, walking ’round the deck and talking with new acquaintances— and, incidentally, the absence of all formality among passengers on board ship is very noticeable, and quite as it should be. Luncheon at one, and for the af ternoon most any sort of amusement that one could wish. At 6:30 we be gin dressing for dinner, which is at 7. This dressing for dinner is the life! In fact, Prexy is so carried away with it that he has decided upon a complete reorganization of his house hold when he returns. We had just gotten settled in our stateroom on the first day out when the chief steward came in and said: “The Captain presents his compli ments, gentlemen, and requests that you have seats at his table.” Which request we very promptly complied with. There are ten of us at the Cap tain’s table, including the Captain himself. There are three very charming ladies at the table and in some unaccountable way Dr. Bizzell and I found ourselves seated between them. Of course, we are making the best we can of the situation. There are two other ladies, equally charming, but not quite so young. The five men include the Captain, Dr. Bizzell, my self, a Berlin capitalist and a corres pondent of the New York World. Cap tain Rind is a most interesting fellow and our pleasure at meeting him was greatly increased when we learned that his wife was formerly a Fort Worth girl—Miss Parker. Me, it pains me deeply to have to report that Prexy has become an in veterate tea-drinker. Tea is served on deck every afternoon at four o’clock and Prexy is always prominent among those present. It is necessary, of course that I be present also to keep him company. He is seriously con sidering the advisability of suspending work at the College every afternoon at 4 o’clock in order to inaugurate this unique custom. It would be well for you to begin thinking over the mat ter. The New York A. and M. Club had a remarkable meeting and banquet the night before we sailed. About 30 men were out and before it was over Dr. Bizzell had given them a vision of the A. and M. of today that brought out an astonishing response. One of the immediate results was that L. D. (Dad) Royer, ex-’12, gave $2,000 to the Students’ Loan Fund that is being administered by Col. Ashburn. We expect to land at Cherbourg a little before noon Friday and go at once to Paris. Will write you later regarding our further adventures. With kindest regards from Dr. Bizzell and myself. Sincerely yours, CHARLES E. FRILEY. In an East Side school, a mistress was reading to her class Shelly’s Ode to a Skylark. To test the intelligence of her scholars she asked if they could put into different words, expressing the meaning the lines “Hailto thee, blithe spirit-bird thou never wert.” An arm shot up from the back row. “Well, Johnny, let us hear how you would put it.” Hi! cocky. You ain’t no blinkin’ bird.—-Exchange. | REMEMBER U l\l C I El E3 LJ C K I I WHEN YOU EAT I I UNCLE BUCK’S CAFE. | ALL KINDS OF FIRST CLASS SHOE REPAIRING j: 1 CAMPUS SHOE SHOP NEW SPRING CLOTHES I FOR YOUNG MEN Here’s a great stock of New Spring Suits for young men.
