the stacks of files are constantly de

the glimpse of the possible new li

COLLEGE BAND TO
ENTER STATE CONTEST
The A. and M. College band has been
officially entered in a contest for the
first time. The contest in which the
band will participate is being fostered
by the Union of Band Instructors of
Texas. The state is divided into two
divisions—east and west—and a con
test will be held in each section. The
eastern division contest, the one in
which the A. and M. band has en
tered, will be held at Corsicana on
April 20.
Approximately seventy-five mem
bers of the band, under leadership of
Bandmaster R. H.' Dunn and Cadet
Captain Arthur Huff, will make the
trip, leaving here Sunday, April 19.
A rather unique and novel means of
transportation has been provided. The
The large, commodious army truck
here will carry the personnel of the
band to its destination and leturn—
a trip of about 200 miles.
The various bands competing are
divided into certain classes. There is
a class for senior colleges and uni
versities, a class for junior colleges,
one for high schools, and a special
class for those bands that have been
in existence for two years. Each band
will play two pieces, a march of its
own selection, and an overture se
lected by the general committee of
the contest. The A. and M. College
band, which can enter only the senior
college class, will play:
March—-“Washington Grays,” Gra-
fulla; Overture—“Royal Pageant,”
Barnard.
The awards to' the best band in
this class will be a beautiful silver
loving cup and a handsome cash prize
of $250.00.
In the forenoon of April 20, a pa
rade of all the bands will be held, fol
lowed by the contest. That night there
will be a mass concert of these bands,
and individual selections will be played
by the various prize winning bands.
It is estimated that 3,000 players will
participate in this mammoth concert
which will mark the close of the mu
sical contest.

Joe—“Why the sudden?”
Zu—“Because I carefully shaved be

then my girl wondered how it would
feel to have whiskers on her face.”
Were you hurt while on the eleven?
No, while the eleven were on me.

Year after year, plucky explorers try to climb
Mount Bverest, the world’s highest peak,
29,141 feet high.
With a G-E supercharger feeding air at sea-
level pressure to the engine, an airplane pilot
can go far higher. Lieut. Macready has
reached 34,509 feet over Dayton, Ohio. He
would have soared over Mount Everest with
more than a mile to spare!

The tasks attempted for centuries in almost
every form of human endeavor have been
conquered with the aid of electricity, with
more than a mile to spare.
The impossible today will be accomplished
by men and women now in college. The
scientist and engineer are doing their share.
It remains for men and women entering
upon their life’s work to profit by the new
opportunities that are constantly appearing
in every profession and vocation in the land.

BE FRIENDLY
Are you friendly or are you one of
the kind that goes around with their
“nose in the air?”
How much more pleasant it is for
one to be greeted by smiling faces
than by a group who look as if every
thing in the world were against
them. Some of them may think that
they are better than the rest, but
they are mistaken.
We are all going to the same col
lege; so why not all be friends and
uphold our institution. The students
and professors who always have a
smile have many more friends than
one who is forever gloomy. Let us
all try to be a little more friendly
with our teachers and classmates.—

Customer—“I want a hat.”
Clerk—“Fedora?”
Customer—“No, for my wife.”
