The Ross Volunteer festivities at
Easter are the preeminent social and
military events of the year. The
Ross Volunteers are noted as the first
famous drill company in the South,
and indeed compare favorably with
West Point cadets. The intricate and
unusual movements in the drill are
beautiful, the white uniforms mak
ing a most impressive appearance.
The R. V. dances are also known all
over the South as outstanding social
events. The feminine visitors who
come to the dances are representative
of the beauties of Texas and of the
South. The college Mess Hall is
transformed for the dances with its
elaborate and beautiful decorations,
and everything combines to make the
R. V. festivities unforgettable among
the many important events of the
year. This year should be no excep
tion.

lowers of the Aggies will wend their
way back to College Station for the
annual Thanksgiving Hop.
This dance is given by the entire
student body in honor of the football
squad and is recognized with the R.
V. Hop and the Final Ball as one of
the three big dances of the scholastic
year. This dance is always a color
ful and enjoyable affair regardless of
where the game is played or of the
score.
Jack Gardner’s Orchestra, famous
throughout the entire South, will fur
nish music for both the Thangsgiv-
ing Hop and the corps dance which
is to be held the following night.
Gardner’s Orchestra, always known
for its quality of alluring and enticing
melody, now ranks foremost among
the prominent orchestras of the State.
“Vic” LeMay, an interior decorator
of recognized ability, has charge of
arranging the Mess Hall in its holi
day regalia. Although .handicapped
by the new rule which prohibits the
driving of nails into the ceiling or
walls, an appropriate and beautiful
plan has been completed and work will
start immediately.
If there are sufficient numbers of
girls attending the hop to warrant
the use of a dormitory, an appropriate
one will be turned over to the com
mittee.
The floor is in good condition, the
programs are printed, and all com-
mitteese are working for a success
ful hop. Fifty-cents is being collect
ed from each student to finance the
dance. To those who attend the dance
this amount will be deducted from the
•regular admittance upon presentation
of the receipt.

Danger Ahead.
He did not fear the siren
With her mass of midnight hair;
With wicked drooping eyelids,
And a blase worldly air;
But, oh, he crossed his fingers
And he breathed a little prayer
When he met a blonde-haired cutie
With , a blue-eyed baby stare.

the College range. The enlisted men
winning the rifle match and the A.
and M. representatives the pistol con
test.
The A. and M. team was not fully
prepared and even at its best it was
not to be expected that its members
could shoot on a par with the pick of
a division of regulars. It was esti
mated prior to the match that the
Second Division men would lead the
cadets by a margin from thirty to
fifty points, yet the students won the
pistol match with a lead of twenty-
five points and dropped the rifle shoot
by only nine points.
The rifle range was equipped with
new targets for the occasion and the
day was almost ideal for competitive
shooting. Enlisted men, who ac
companied the visitors, were in the
pits and operated the targets.
Lieutenant Hennesy was in charge
of the Second Division pistol team and
Lieutenant Robinson led the rifle
club. A. and M.’s rifle team consisted
of S. Y. Gurthie, L. D. Stephenson,
S. T. Allen, W. N. Criswell, and I.
M. Bethis. The pistol team was com
posed of C. H. Dodson, N. M. Ram
sey, S. N. Calloway, V. S. Stindt, and
R. G. White.
The two hundred yard range proved
the Aggies’ undoing. This was the
first range to be fired, and at the con
clusion of the slow fire, the regulars
were several points in the lead. Mov
ing back to the three and five hun
dred yard slow fire, the cadets stead
ily cut down the enlisted men’s lead.
On the return at rapid fire the A.
and M. shooters continued to hold
their own and the two teams reached
the two hundred yard mark all even.
Here the cadets cracked under the
strain and the Second Division mens’
score won them the match with a nine
point margin.
The final results, the Second Di
visions’ rifle team’s eleven hundred
and seventeen against A. and M.’s
eleven hundred and nine, and the vis
itors’ score of twenty two hundred
and ten with the pistol as compared
with the cadets twenty-two hundred
and thirty-five, shows that not only
was the match a close one, but also
that the shooting was excellent.
Now, fully aware of their potential
strength, the members of the team are
earnestly practicing with the purpose
of winning their remaining matches.
KNOCKER OR BOOSTER—
WHICH?
“It is not the critic whocounts; not
the man who points out how the
strong man stumbled, or where the
doer of deeds could have done them
better. The credit belongs to the
man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and
sweat and blood; who strives vali
antly; who errs and comes short
again and again, because there is no
effort without error and short-com
ing; who does actually strive to do
deeds; who knows the great enthus
iasms, the great devotions, spends
himself in a worthy cause: who at
the best knows in the end the triumph
of high achievement, and who at the
worst, if he fails, at least fails while
daring greatly, so that his place shad
never be with those cold and timid
souls who know neither victory nor
defeat.”—Theodore Roosevelt.

A FATHER’S LETTER TO HIS SON
Dear Son:
Naturally, nothing concerns me so
much as your happiness in life. Moth
er is leaning over my shoulder as I
write these lines, and as I gaze into
her brown eyes, in which the light
of love still beams, I can only wish
to you the happiness she has brought
me.
In your choice of a helpmate, I
pray you will find a woman whose de
votion has been as steadfast, whose
understanding has been as sympathe
tic, as your mother’s.
Your Father.
P. S.—Your mother has just left
the room. Stay single, you d d
fool, stay single.
