THE BATTALION 7 SENIORS INTERVIEWED IN EF FORT TO DETERMINE THE FUNDAMENTALS OF COLLEGI ATE SUCCESS. C. W. Moore. In an interview with a Battalion reporter, Mr. C. W. “Red” Moore, the first man questioned replied, “I feel that I owe my success in college to three factors, namely: my beauti ful voice, my winning smile, and Montgomery’s shirts. Staid profes sors have been charmed by my beau tiful alto. In answering questions, I endeavor to shade each word into an individual expression of euphony, and my beautiful modulation of tone has even aroused the admiration of the E. E. Dept. My winning smile has gained me a gratis invitation to every really worth while event dur ing the past year, including a clam bake which I attended attired as a baked clam. Montgomery’s shirts have been an ever present help, ex cept on one occasion when he tore the other one. They give me social pres tige, as they have been held for pay ment by some of the best laundries in Bryan. A. M. Erskine. Aleczanibar Mollusca Erskine, who has been recently appointed presi dent and rear chainman of the Sugar Hill-Wheelock R. R., states that he owes his success to his level head. “There is no secret,” says Mr. Ers kine. “The affairs of the day de mand clear thinking, and that’s my specialty. Why? Because I am espe cially designed by nature to be a deep thinker. The day of the blonde is past. They cannot stand the actinic rays of the sun. The short ultra violet rays assault their nerves and make, .them temperamental and flighty. You may have noticed that I am a brunette. My face is cover ed with a dark stubble which I never shave too close. This, however with my luxuriant black mane, on which I pay a dog tax, provides my brain with ample protection from the ac tinic rays of the sun. If I be allow ed the liberty of drawing the com parison, I would say that in the world of horses, blondes would be rated as fractious, blazed faced, white seck- ed, sorrels, while I would be a steady, dependable Black Beauty. Many a man has squandered his money on a college education, when a bottle of Higgens Ink, and a souse of Glovers would do the trick.” B. D. Leuty. Dr. B. D. Leuty when asked to what he attributed his phenominal success, replied in verse, as is his cus tom. His reply follows: “When your luck has played out, Or you’re down with the gout, And the enemies put you to route, Don’t shout, and don’t spout, But just reel in your snout, And stand up to the bout like a Lout.” Dr. Leuty will be long remembered as the originator of the one word rhyme scheme, which was especially designed for single-track minds. BATTERY SENIOR *REVEALS HIS LOVE SECRETS FOR FIRST TIME Mr. M. Reedy, Fort Worth heart- smasher, consented to tell Battalion readers this week just how he man aged to charm the fair sex. Mr. Reedy is known in Fort Worth as “The Pet of O. L. V.” and the fol lowing interview explains this moni ker. “I have always been a success among the ladies,” said Mr. Reedy. “As you know, I live just across the street from a girl’s school, Our Lady of Victory. My earliest remembrance s of being admired by the girls as they took their afternoon stroll, and I've knocked ’em dead ever since. Every girl loves an Aggie, and in ad dition to being one I wear the school colors. My whiskers, you know, are maroon and white. Tall girls, short girls, pretty girls, witty girls—in fact the entire student body of O. L. V.—have cast admiring glances at me, as I staidly pushed the lawn- mower over in my front yard. My grace on the dancing floor was ac quired by this very work, pushing the lawn-mower under the gaze of ad miring eyes, and some of my parlor polish is the result of sweeping the walk under the same conditions.” ANCIENT ADAGE REFUTED. B. D. (Beautiful but Dumb) Har ds states that he has made the dis covery that although all roads may lead to Rome, all Inter-urbans do not lead to Fort Worth. He states that it vas due to “circumstances over which he had no control” that he spent the last day of the inspection trip in Cor- ficana instead of Fort Worth. SILO REAGAN GIVES OUT INTERVIEW When questioned as to the origin of his new name, “Papamosca,” Silo Reagan replied, “You have doubtless heard that my northern tour includ ed the city of Forney. I had heard much of the comliness of the Forney belles, but I was not prepared for the rampant beauty which met my startled gaze on every hand. Blonds, brunettes, and all the kindred shades! It was my intention to steer Forney around by the ears, but of how well I succeeded, the “weenies” alone can tell. My only regret is that I may never see them all again. In the face of such beauty, can it be wondered it that I earned the name of “Papa mosca?” It’s Spanish you know. THUBERT ON MARRIAGE. R. M. (Thubert) Sherman, when nterviewed on the subject of mar- rage replied: “Although the near ness of the view may destroy the perspective, I believe that I am well qualified to speak to this subject. I have already induced two of the Longhorn staff to take the leap, and I contemplate following in their ’oot steps in the near future. Ever ■ince I first ran a traverse of block 14-Waco, I have felt the urge. I must confess that the teachings of Deacon Bilgewater have in a measure haken my convictions, but I will not he deterred from my firm resolve. It is not good for men to live alone. When merangue assails him, when his drag-line breaks, and the tele phone companies have given him the ■?ate, it is then that he must turn for comfort to a womans smile. Though you be homeless and without sox, hough the cake may fall from your p'pe, and your own kid brother Phubert turn from you in scorn, she will remain constant and true. Mar riage is a great institution. Blah! Blah!” IT’S IN DALLAS. Johnie Brazelton states that al though Dallas may be all right in the day time, it is unsafe at night. “It : s my opinion,” he states, “That the city is infested with foot-pads and high-jackers. I spent a miserable night there, in constant fear of as sault. However, I was determined to sell my life dearly, and succeeded in repulsing all attacks.” 1 NEW SPRING CLOTHES f FOR YOUNG MEN Here’s a great stock of New Spring Suits for young men.
