night.
As has been the custom in the past,
prizes will be awarded to the most
winsome country maiden and to the
most mossy-backed Rube attending
the rustic ruckus Friday night. The
prizes to be awarded this year will
outstrip by far prizes given hereto
fore, according to Hop Reynolds, so
cial secretary of the senior class.
Music at both dances will be fur
nished by the Aggieland orchestra
whose sensuous syncopation and
reeling rythm waxed wantonly warm
in their most recent appearances. The
Aggieland agonizers expect to at
tain the pinnacle of their syncopat
ing success in this week’s program.
The barnyard brawl will border on
the edge of a marathon, beginning at

“Tip-Toe Through the Tulips With
Me,” at two in the morning. Script

M. E. Department
Noteworthies
The local student branch of the
A. S. M. E. with V. M. Faires as its
sponsor or guidon has recently been
in correspondence with the Houston
branch with reference to a meeting
of representatives of the two branch
es to debate on a technical question
of a very important issue at present.
At the most recent meeting of the
local chapter it was decided that full
membership cooperation be given the
i joint meeting and arrangements for I
it. Such an arrangement will be ad
vantageous in a two-fold way to all
members of the two A. S. M. E.
chapters concerned.
It is learned at this comparatively
late date that Professor J. C. Cheat
ham of the M. E. department motor
ed to Richmond, Va., during the
Christmas holidays and brought back
with him a life companion.' Due to
snow throughout the country, he did
not see the ground for ten days aft
er leaving College Station. In past
generations, Mr. Cheatham, you
would have received hearty congratu
lations for taking this step in life,
but we of the coming generation, be
ing educated as we are, fail to fathom
as our fore-fathers and therefore ex
tend to you our sincerest sympathy
in this and succeeding hours of
gloom.
In 1883 the students were allowed
250 “Rams” for the year and ther
wasn’t any such animal as “The
Sons of Rest?”
Sometimes we get so anxious to
spend something, we squander time.
