At a meeting of the Senior Class
last week it was decided that the
class would not put on a senior class
play this year as has been the custom
of some classes in the past years.
Reasons given for dispensing- with
the class play were that with an en
tertainment program such as is being
sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. this
year to compete with the home talent
play would not prove worth the
efforts to make it possible.
A news item from Galesburg, 111.
states that any student who marries
j while attending Lombarg College,
! will be automatically dropped from
the College at once, the faculty there
decided last week. The action taken
was on account of two recent elope
ments of students there. J. H. Tilden,
president, said it was deemed advis
able to stop student marriages for
such interferred with education.

Grand Canyon
He ‘Threw This ‘Ten and
It Struck Unharmed on
the Jagged Tpcks a Half
SMile Teiovs
Non-breakable Pen Barrel? Dr.
F. C. Morse oi the National Park-
to-Park Highway Association was
unconvinced.
So recently to test the new Parker
Duolold barrel, he stood on the
rim of Grand Canyon and threw
this pen into the rock-lined chasm.
When the pen was recovered
amid the jagged rocks a half mile
below the canyon’s edge, it was
scratched a bit, but quite unbroken.
When the cap was removed the
point was as good as ever—a point
guaranteed for 25 years, not only
for mechanical perfection but for
wear!
You cannot get Duofold quality
in any pen save that stamped
“Geo. S. Parker.” Look carefully
for this. Any good pen counter
would like you to try this classic.
Boring and Mr. Means of Schenectady
N. Y., E. D. DePraydo of Houston
and Mr. W. B. Clayton of Dallas,
were on the campus the first of the
week for the purpose of selecting
seniors of the Electrical and Mechani
cal engineering departments to work
for the G. E. Company after their
graduation A complete list of the
men selected could not be obtained in
time for this issue.

tion before becoming connected with
the Former Students Association.
The new secretary is twenty nine
years old, is a Texan, having been
born in Palestine. He is the son of
J. E. McQuillen, now of Galveston.
The Association of Former Students
has a membership of approximately
2500 and nearly every large city in
the state has a strong A. & M. club,
the major ones being Dallas, Houston,
San Antonio, Fort Worth, Waco,
Beaumont, Temple, Galveston and El
Paso. Clubs also flourish in many of
the northern and eastern cities, The
New York Texas A. & M. Club being
the most prominent.
No changes in the policy were
announced with the election of Mr.
McQuillen. “The work will be pushed
along the same lines as heretofore”
the new secretary said.
Mr.. McQuillen will also assume the
editorship of the Texas Aggie, offi
cial organ of the association.
HANDBALL TOURNAMENT ON
MARCH 1st.
(Continued from page 8.)
end of the first term, the 2nd Battal
ion played its best game of the
season tying the Composite team
0-0 last Saturday. As usual, the 2nd’s
line held, but (also as usual) the
opposing team found that their
passes were effective, and the
Composite made all of its gains in
that manner. Both teams were in a
position to score several times.
Glover, 2nd’s half-pint quarter,
saved the day with several nice
tackles at the safety position. Mc-
Fatridge played well at guard, Cape
was the most aggessive man on
either team. Decker, 2nd’s fish center,
was in practically every tackle; his
defensive work has been the feature
of every game he has played. Fish
Fischer made some nice gains off
tackle and end.
Fish Rogers starred in the line for
the Composite while Morris and
Watkins showed up well the back-
fie’d. Fontaine went out with a
broken ankle.
In the near future there will be a
list published of all the men taking
part in any Intra-Mural line and just
how many points he has credited to
his name. It will be remembered that
the man getting the highest number
of points will be awarded a medal at
the end of the year; this medal is
well worth any ones time working
for.
STUDENT OPINION
(Continued from Page 2)
that it is. Shall we never grow up?
Some who read this will call it a
gripe within itself—a gripe about
gripes—but I just wanted to express
my own reaction toward that part of
what is going - on around me. I’ve
read the editorials, the student
opinions, and I’ve heard the round
table discussions. I’d like to ask a few
questions and have them answered
in the columns of this paper. What
do we really gain by griping? Is it
a means of abtaining satisfaction and
happiness ? What do we think, per
sonally, of the boy who can always
find fault and who can never see the
good points of anything? What are
the qualities found in the griper ?
