THE BATTALION
the queen and her court. Each col
lege has been allowed to enter five
girls in the contest for queen. A pic
ture passed upon by a committee of
A. and M. seniors whose judgment of
pulchritude is considered good has
been entered. The queen will be se
lected by a committee of Dallas men.
The Ross Volunteers should make
a distinct hit in Dallas. The drill will
be at night, and it is hard to imagine
any sight which could be prettier than
the dazzling white uniforms under
the brightness of searchlights. The
majority of the spectators will hear
for the first time the combined salute
which is fired as the company enters
and leaves the stadium. The silent
manual and Butts’ Manual will be
most impressive. In fact, the whole
drill will be a spectacle not often seen
in the South.

The Senior class, upon whose shoul
ders rests the welfare of the College,
had their initial meeting Sunday in
the Assembly Hall.
The requisite to all class organiza
tion is an election committee. This
committee accepts nominees for office,
sets■the date for school and class
election, and holds these elections.
Since this is a great responsibility,
the men who are selected must be
men with a strong sense of justice.
Such men were selected. O. C. An
derson, Major of the Second Battal
ion, was chosen chairman of the elec
tion committee, the two other mem
bers being R. C. Armstrong, Captain
f Company G, and A. E. Flowers,
lintain of Troop D.
' ^ The first official duty of this com
mittee will be to hold the election for
Senior class officers. All nominees
must be turned in to the chairman by
Wednesday night.
The ties of friendship proved too
strong for the Seniors, so the Corps
will visit the “big-hearted” city of
Waco again; to the “City With a Soul”
that has been the scene of many Ag
gie triumphs and celebrations in th®
past years. Old men go back to re
new acquaintances and to see friends
made on former trips; the Fish will
have the field before them with the
opportunity to make new conquests.
If history is to repeat itself, the Cadet
Corps will have an enjoyable trip and
many a female heart will be crushed
by shiny brass and the traditional
olive drab.
Waco and the Cotton Palace offi
cials are going to give the Aggies the
same considerations and privileges
that have always been ours while in
their city. Two tickets representing the
price of one square meal, or by proper
management, two, are to be given
each cadet together with a ticket to
the game. You are given the city
men, but remember to leave it in the
same condition as you find it upon ar
rival.
And last, remember the purpose of
our trip—and BEAT BAYLOR.

SOLVED AT LAST
A flapper is a little, bobbed-haired
girl who paints, powders, rouges her
lips and pencils her eyebrows and
then says: “Clothes, I’m going down
town. Want to hang on?”
—Centre Colonel.
A CORRECTION.
We regret that in the October edi
tion that an error was made in con
nection with the statement that Bob
Pearson, representative of the John
son Floral Company, distributed car
nations. Mr. Pearson is the official
representative of The Bryan Nursery
and Floral Company, only.

The period bell rang loud and
fiercely; the professor of rhetoric
closed his book; the class filed 1 out.
The bell rang on. A youth reclining
in a rear desk, opened his eyes wear
ily, sat up in his desk, untied his tie
and unbuttoned his shirt and said
drowsily:
“Dang that alarm clock. Who ever
thought of making a guy get up for
an 8 o’clock class never was a boy
himself.” —Texas Ranger.
Prof.: “According to the ancient
idea the seat of the emotions was in
the liver. Where is the seat of emo
tions according to the modern idea?”
Student: “On the knees.”—^Wis
consin Octopus.
PERSEVERING
He (over the phone): “What time
are you expecting me?”
She (icily): “I’m not expecting you
at all.”
He: “Then I’ll surprise you.”
—Awgwan.
SOCKS DOWN?
Little Boy: “Looko ma, the circus
has come to town, there’s one of the
clowns.”
Ma: “Hush, darling. That’s not a
clown. That’s just a college man.”
—Beanpot.
“Talk about torture—”
“Yes?”
“Nothing is worse than sitting in a
barber’s chair with your mouth full of
lather, watching the boy trying to
give another customer your new stiff-
brim Stetson.”
Fish—“See that one-legged man
over there?”
M'enke—“Yeah!”
Fish—“He’s got one foot in the
grave.”
Waiter: “It looks like rain.”
Gallant Fish: “Yes sir, but
tastes a little like soup!”
After reading this issue you should
feel like a new alarm clock—all
wound up.
