And now, boys and girls of the
radio audiences, we are delighted to
announce that we have with us this
evening none other than that versa
tile entertainer, Mr. Sax A. Peal,
who will present for your amuse
ment just a begging song. It is the
tearful tale of a little girl who didn't
like Sophomores and because of this
fact, the young man’s heart was
crushed and the story had no indi
cation of a happy ending. We’il
now turn the microphone over to
Mr. Peal.
“Good-evening, folks, here I am
back again to bore you for awhile.
Pardon—I mean, to entertain you.
I’ll dispense with all unnecessary
introductions and proceed at once
with my story. It all began during
the 1928-29 session of the Texas
A. and M. College when knighthood
was in flower and happiness (sup
posedly) reigned supreme. A well-
meaning sophomore with no other
thought in his cranium than to en
joy himself took the privilege of
writing one of Eve’s daughters, whom
he had never seen, on the advice
of an Aggie brother. So far, so well.
But complications arose and in his
first letter he gave the young lady
the false impression that he was
justa young freshman at this insti
tution of attempted higher learning.
In answer to his letter, Miss Eve
sent a very promising reply which
had all the indications of a happy
ending.
Destiny, however, took a part in
the affair at this time, and poor
Cupid was given a nose-dive into
a tall, tall tree. Assuring himself
that he was not doing right by Nell
in deceivipg the lassie and feeling
sure that if he only explained to her
that he was a high-rating second
year private instead of a first year
one, he would be forgiven of his
sin, he wrote to her and explained
things in detail. It was a mistake
of the heart as well as the brain.
Gentlemen, that well deserving
young man (though an egotist at
heart) never received any indica
tion of an answer to his last epis
tle. Like Mutt and Jeff, I agree
with him that it is a “crooel, crooel
world” and that the best thing to
do in a case like this is to either
find someone who will tolerate us
or go jump in a cold lake and die
like a true martyr of unrequited
love. And so, boys and girls of radio
land, and all of you other people
listening out there, our story comes
to a close. (Applause) The moral of
it all is this: never deceive a wo
man for, in the first place it can’t
be done; in the second - place you
will be found guilty of your crime
if you do and in the third place it
is impossible to do it in the first
place. Good-night and pleasant
dreams.

I’ve heard of “Dream Daddies,”
“Hot Papas,” and “Sweet Daddies”
but never, in all my life, of “Pow
dered Sugar Daddies.” That’s the
proverbial last word in having a su-
perflous amount of sex appeal. But
according to a young lady from the
fair city of Bryan, Mr. John Neal
of the notorious “Sons of Rest,”
is a satisfying “powdered sugar
daddy.” Just what this means will
cause you, perhaps, to wonder the
remainder of your mortal days on
Mother Earth. If you want the cor
rect definition you’d better ask
John. He’ll tell you that he is a red-
hot, hard-to-get, sure enough pow
dered sugar daddy. And no stammer
ing.
STUDENTS OF MATH
(Continued from Page 1)
are not repeating courses 107, 102,
103, or 104 in mathematics. Those
eligible for the sophomore prizes
are students classed as sophomores
who are not repeating Mathematics
203 or 204.
By preliminary one-hour tests in
each section in mathematics 102,
covering courses 101 and 102, and
in each section of analytics, cover
ing courses 103 and 104, freshmen
will be selected to compete in the
final competitive examination. The
two students making the highest
combined grades in these two pre
liminary contests will represent their
sections in the final three-hour ex
amination. The analytics sections are
to be used as the basis of determin
ing a student’s section. The final
competitive examination to deter
mine the winners of first and second
freshman prizes is to be based upon
Mathematics 101, 102, 103, and 104.
Preliminary tests for sophomores
will be held in a similar manner.
First one-hour examinations will be
given on differentiation and its ap
plication; second one-hour tests will
be given on integration and its ap
plication. The two students making
the highest combined grades in
these two tests will represent their
sections in the final three-hour com-
I
petitive examination, which will be
based on Mathematics 203 and 204.
SOME ONE CARES.
When you meet some disappointment,
An’ yer feelin’ kind of blue,
When yer plans have all got side
tracked
Or some friend has proved untrue;
When yer toilin’, prayin’, strugglin’.
At the bottom of the stairs,
It’s just like a panacea
Just to know that someone cares.
Some one who can appreciate
One’s efforts when he tries,
Some one who seems to understand
An’ sorta sympathize;
Some one who, when he’s far away.
Still wonders how he fares,
Some one who never can forget,
Some one who really cares.
Winning the war against weather
In the telephone business, research man,
manufacturing engineer and construction
supervisor are carrying on a successful
war against the unruly elements, enemies
to service.
Cable, for example, housing many cir
cuits and covered with protective coatings
of proved strength, withstands storms which
might seriously threaten open wire lines.
Thus in the Bell System growth is in
tensive as well as extensive, improving
present facilities as well as adding new
ones. And there is no end to all this
development.
