Well of all the corps dances, how
how about the one last Saturday
nig-ht? If you missed it just take an
hour off and let someone tell you what
all you missed. Without a doubt tlm
last dance was the best so far this
year. We have been unable to decide
whether it was due to the game Fri
day, the unusual number of visiting
girls or just what, but nevertheless
everyone had a “large evening.”
As usual the music was furnished
by Aggieland and you know ft is need
less to say anymore. We all enjoy
ed the music from the orchestra and
some of us that heard the many, many
compliments that were paid Aggieland
by our visitors enjoyed it even more.
There were no favors, not even pro
grams for it does not take that to
make a corps dance good, and surely
not the last one. Even our social
secretary who is responsible for the
dance, had an enjoyable evening.
Someone said that there was a very
pretty reason from State, but any
way we all enjoyed it alike.
There were many visitors at the
dance, which of course helped to make
it the success that it was. Mr.
Archie Wayman, who is now study
ing law at T. C. U., his mother and
father and his two sisters, Misses
Frances and Elizabeth Wayman, were
present for the dance.
Miss “Punch” Sloan and Miss
“Sandy” Woodward from Taylor ar
rived on the campus Friday and also
attended the dance. Miss Woodward
was the guest of “Dime” Dealy and
since at least seven of our promineiA
cadets told us that Miss Sloan was
their guest, we will let you ask her.
Miss Elaine Bizzell honored us
again this week and with her was hei
charming room-mate Miss Dorothy
Benners.
Miss Mary Bain from Houston who
is the guest of Miss Kathleen Sims
of Bryan, Miss Pattie Sims and Miss
Gertrude Sims all made the evening
more pleasant for many of us.
Miss Ona Astin and her two pretty
visitors, Miss Florence Perkins and
Miss Frances Vaugn from State, and
Miss Josephine Eden were here for
the week-end and all attended the
dance Saturday.
fixed on your mind, here is something
more. After those Owls come down
here Friday and get all of their tail
feathers pulled out and after Charlie
Waugh wrings some of their necks,
there will be a dance at the Elks Hall
in Bryan.
Now is your opportunity, date up
one of those Rice-ettes for the week
end and make it a good one. A foot
ball game, a dance in Bryan, and a
corps dance, what better could you
want ?
Tuesday night after the rodeo a
most enjoyable German was held at
the Elk’s Hall in Bryan. The synco
pating charms of Aggieland’s orches
tra poured forth until the “wee small
hours of the morning.” Practically
the entire court of the rodeo was pres
ent attired in the beautiful costumes
representing the various nations of
the world. Many of the visitors of
the previous week-end stayed over
which added a factor which is usually
lacking at A. and M. dances—enough
girls.

Now that we are through holding
“post mortems” let us give you some
thing to look forward to. With last
Saturdays dance still on your minds,
think of how good another one will
be this coming week. At the same
time, the same place, with the same
good music, that sounds good doesn’t
it? Now that you have that firmly

(George C. Purl of Dallas, a mem
ber of the State Legislature, recent
ly returned from a visit to the State
Agricultural and Mechanical College
at College Station. He gave out the
following statement Friday relative
to his impressions of the institution
and the student body):
‘,One of the most interesting and
delightful two days I have ever ex
perienced was recently at the State
Agricultural and Mechanical College
at College Station, Texas. There 1
found every student attending this
school treated exactly alike, both by
the faculty and the student body as
well. I saw boys who had spent the
greater part of the day in the hog
barns, boys who attended the sheep,
the cattle, the horses, boys who stok
ed the furnaces, and even boys who
worked their way through school act
ing as nurses to the babies on fac
ulty row. Also I saw boys whose fa
thers, perhaps, owned large planta
tions, and were large taxpayers and
could have easily sent their sons to
some eastern school, but preferred
to send them to a Texas institution
because they wanted them to attend
school with the boys they would meet
in after life.
“The rich man’s son is treated ab
solutely the same as the poorest boy
down at A. and M. And, greater than
all, the rich man’s son; generally
chums with some boy who is working
his way through school.
No Class Distinction.

“Down at A. and M. there is ab
solutely no class distinction, no se
cret fraternities, no cliques, no snob
societies. The result is that after a
boy has gone to that great State in
stitution four years and is graduat
ed, he realizes that he owes a great
debt to the State of Texas, one that
he can never repay except by living a
useful life and trying to help some
deserving boy go through college.
“If i you want to see a sure enough
reunion attend one of the A. and M.
commencement exercises, if you want
to see some real rooting attend one
of the A. and M. football games. Any
time you see a man who has attend
ed A. and M. College you can bet
dollars to doughnuts that you are
talking to a real man in every re
spect; in fact, a Southern gentleman
who is proud of his alma mater and
is anxious to see his school succeed,
not only because he loves A. and M.,
but because he loves Texas. It might
also interest you to know that when
the World War came on, A. and M.
College of Texas furnished more of
ficers for Uncle Sam than any other
school in America.
“I believe that! the A. and M. Col
lege is the most Democratic school in
America, and the loyalty to that in
stitution as manifested by its former
students is nothing short of marvel
ous, and, although it was not my good
fortune to attend any university, still
I konw that fellows who did attend
this great school have something that
I haven’t got, and I want to take this
opportunity of congratulating the of
ficials in all their splendid work, and
especially so in the fair manner in
which they merchandise their foot
ball tickets, and at the same time I
want to vigorously protest against
the manner in which the State Uni
versity has handled the State Uni -
versity-S. M. U. football tickets.”—-
