It is said, however, that “Doc” has a card up his sleeve for next week. * * * Speaking of new social onslaughts brings to mind an Artilleryman * namely, Captain Brouer. Evidently he has become interested in Allen Academy for he is often seen walk ing out that direction. Strange to say, he always returns in Chevrolet Sedan. Perhaps, it’s not Allen Acad emy that draws his attention, after all. E. ff. tlEKUl, JB. IBSIMECE BBEBtT VOUR LIFE WE INSURE IT E. W. CRENSHAW, Jr. W. C. MITCHELL. PHONE 144 BRYAN, TEXAS 4 Certain C. I. A. girls were slightly piqued at the determined and, at times, even sarcastic look on Howard Johnson’s face. Certainly, Howard, A. and M. has not made you hard hearted ? * * * It is a known fact that thirteen boys stayed in one room in Dallas. Won der where Dirty Muller slept. * * * We’ve heard that a number of ca dets were attracted by waitress No. 7 at Joseph’s Cafe in Dallas. And when she noticed them she hollered: “Oh Dolly!” Or was it Mucho Milo? * * * Again Zu Parks expected his par ents but this time they did not ar rive. * * * Bouncer Rawlins went to a pep meeting out at S. M. U. with his girl. He reports that it was suggested they do it like A. and M. does it—HOLD ’EM. * * * Sid Kyle is batting golf left-hand ed now-a-days. By the way, we wonder why Sid and Colonel Stubbs went golfing all Sunday afternoon. * * * Ephriam Oscar “Beaumont” Buck must have thought the ventilator in the elevator was a slot machine and spent all of his twenty-five cents, cause just before the game he was seen with his kodak under his arm bound for an “Entrepreneur” whose well known symbol of three balls never fails to give financial assistance to those who possess economic goods but no “working” capital. I’ll bet that “Buck” got more than the kodak was worth. * * * Competition seems to be the spice of life for “Stan” Fields, “George” E. K. Gibson, and “Monk” Under wood. “Monk” believes in the pro verb, “In union there is strength”; hence, he has organized his forces. With the aid of a brand new Ford Coupe, a borrowed Victrola, and the services of one W. R. “Rabbit” Smith, be has become a triple-threat man who will be extremely hard to elimi nate. ♦ * * According to the latest report from Navasota, Major Guion is 1.009 per NEW SUNSET LIMITED VISITS A. AND M. COLLEGE New Half Million Dollar Wonder Train of S. P. is Inspected. The last word in transportation was at A. and M. College last Saturday morning. The new Sunset Limited of the Southern Pacific lines which is to be operated between New Or leans and San Francisco stoppe'’. here between nine and ten o’clock. Many cadets took advantage of the oppor tunity to see just how far the means of transportation has advanced since the first locomotive was invented many years ago. The train consisted of nine coaches and a modern oil-burning engine. Only the crew of the train and offi cials of the line were on the train, which is making an inaugural tour. The fittings of the coaches and the service offered to passengers were really a revelation. A barber shop and pressing shop are a part of the conveniences offered. The club coaches were beautifully fitted. Writing desks are a unique feature. The whole train gives the impression of a modern traveling hotel. It is a triumph in transportation. REV. W. H. MATTHEWS CONDUCTING MEETING AT ARLINGTON, TEXAS Rev. Matthews, known to his cadet friends as “Preacher” obtained a temporary release from his varied duties as “Y” secretary to conduct revival services at North Texas Agri cultural College at Arlington, Texas. The meetings are being sponsored by the Presbyterians of the Junior A. and M. College every night during the week, closing Friday evening. His '■oming, according to N.T.A.C. Weekly, has been looked forward to for many days by the students of that institu tion. Rev. Matthews will return in time for the religious services of the Cam pus Presbyterian Group, of which he is their pastor, by Sunday. The man who has not anything to boast of but his illustrious ancestors is like a potato—the only good be longing to him is underground.—Sir Thomas Overbury. •|*n—in BRYAN NURSERY AND FLORAL CO.
