    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.”
