THU BATTALION
HOMETOWN BLUES.
They’re the darkest shade of blues,
and I’ve got em awful bad;
Seems like I’ve got the bluest case
that ever freshman had,
Everything just gripes me, and I’m
feeling grouchy too;
I’d like to slay a sophomore and
make him into stew.
I wish I were back home once more
and feeling just all right
I’d go to see my girl again and neck
her half the night;
Or get the boys together and go out
and have some sport.
At every other joint we’d stop and
have a little “snort”
Until we got to feeling good, and
then go do the town,
And raise a lot of merry hell, des
pite old John Law’s frown.
The Home Town Blues have got me,
and I’d like to shake my feet,
But I’m here to stay for four years:
I can’t admit I’m beat.

ETIQUETTE AT OLE MISS
by
Don’t Toucher.
(Do you want to become the idol
of your crowd, the center of attrac
tion at all the social functions ? Then
learn these hints as to the social
and moral code of etiquette at Ole
Miss.)
IN GENERAL—When crossing a
muddy street with a lady, or date,
never allow her to soil her shoes—
make her take them off.
Never hit a woman with your
gloves on.
Always pour your coffee in your
saucer so your date won’t think you
are a high hat.
If a lady slaps you for being for
ward, never slap her back—knock
her down.
Never swear at your date in the
presence of ladies.
AT THE DANCE—‘The proper
frock for the lady is a simple, inor
nate costume of decollete with a high
neck (the dress) and long sleeves.
For the gentlemen, the proper dress
is a formal dinner suit with a pair
of white cotton gloves (to prevent
physical contact with your dancing
partner).
All school dances are to be pro
gram dances.
“Cutting in” is an undignified cus
tom, unobserved in the best of so
ciety.
Persons attending the dances
should go for the purpose of dancing.
The proper position for the couple
is four feet apart, with the lady’s
right hand resting gently in the
gentleman’s left (gloved of course),
while the gentleman’s right forefin
ger presses lightly on the lady’s left
shoulder; the lady’s left hand should
be braced against the gentleman’s
right shoulder, in order to prevent
familiarity.
“Late Dates” are a barbarian cus
tom—by all means refrain from this
practice.
(More of the Code of Etiquette will
appear in a later issue.)
