is of getting more than his
money’s worth, as the new Annex
makes a fine dance hall, and the Ag-

The corps dances have always been
popula rwith the students, and this
year promise to be better than ever.
Attention has been given to make the
opening dance especially good, so put
aside that dollar you are planning to
use in Bryan Saturday and come to
the Annex if you want to have a hot
old time. Fish with social>wnbitions
are especially urged to make their
debut now. Col. Nelson will probably
be there, so don’t miss this oppor

also has two good-looking daughters.

“The Battalion” staff is very sor
ry that such an error as was made in
last week’s edition, should occur. In
the list of senior class officers, J. H.
Grammer was named as the secre
tary-treasurer of the class. Dick Bern-
hard was elected as secretary-treas
urer and should have appeared in the
list as such.

them a welcome and show them
around.
When you write home tell your
mothers we want them to feel that
they have a definite group of friends
here who are interested in their boys,
and will be glad to do anything for
them at any time. We hope a number
of them will decide to organize A. and
M. Mothers Clubs at home and co-
flj^'rate witn uo \tber clUk/s out
, A the state are doing.
Wishing for each and every one of
you that this will be the very best
year of your life, lets all pull together
