Announcements
“STUDENT EMPLOYMENT”
"There are several jobs available at
present. Those students who have applied
for work and who have not yet been as
signed are urged t<) call at this office im
mediately.
W. R. Horsley,
Director, Placement Office.
ATTENTION of all students is direct
ed to the fact that the rules governing
class attendance place the responsibilty
for such attendance on the student and
that when he is absent from a class he
has missed a definite part of his course
regardless of the cause of his absence.
A student contemplating missing a class
should decide whether he can afford to
miss that part of his course and if he
does miss it should expect to take such
consequences in lowered grade as may
result.
Hereafter AUTHORIZED ABSENCES
will be granted only in case of:
1. Sickness of the student when the
college physician certifies he is unable
to attend class.
2. Duty as Officer of the Day or similar
official duty authorized in advance.
3. Necessary absence which can not be
postponed to a time when quizzes will
not be missed.
Students wishing to go to their homes
for examinations of teeth, eyes, etc.,
should plan such trips at times that will
interfere least with their classes and will
not cause them to miss quizzes, as auth
orized absences can be granted for such
trips hereafter only in case of emergencies
requiring immediate attention which is
not available at the College.

Felix has played great ball for

Line-Coach Bill James are both
high in their praises for the lad
who rose up from a third-string

guard I’ve coached in many years
and that includes the Joe Routt,

Norton plan to leave for Mont

With all the traditions we love.
There’s still a Spirit about this
place.
They tried to break it—halt our
pace,
But they can’t stop us—we’re in
the race,
And we’ll win if it takes forever!
We’ve carried that Spirit through
the years;
We’ve stood out on Kyle Field in
tears;
We’ve gone on Corps trips and
chug-a-lugged beers;
In that good ole Aggie way.
When a spirit’s so deep that such
a man,
Who can’t even hear, can under
stand
And sense the warmth of an Ag
gie’s hand,
Do you think it can ever die?
No, that Spirit will never die.
Let ’em make their rules and slip
them by.
They can take all else—with no
reason why,
But they can’t kill the AGGIE
SPIRIT!!

a gruelling workout yesterday after

the afternoon before the Univer
sal studio cameras for special
football shots in the forthcoming
Texas A. & M. movie.
Little Bobby Williams, spinning,
and running in a manner that had
all the squad amazed paced the
varsity through a scrimmage sess
ion Wednesday. He ran primarily
at the tailback spot while Leo
Daniels and Barney Welch looked
on with envy. He hit guard, tackle,
end and center and on very few
occasions did the reserves manage
to stop the little package of dyn
amite. As if that wasn’t enough,
Williams also called signals and
played all other positions in the
backfield.
Blocking was especially emphas
ized with the team coming through
in fine style. Wille Zapalac, Ed
Ogdee, Weldon Maples, Dub Sib
ley, Cullen Roger sand Pete Slaugh
ter looked exceptionally good in
that department. Morty Hertz, re
serve guard, and Truman Cox, end,
were the bright spots on defense for
the second-stringers.

A picture that every American

stirring picture that is full of emo

allure and women enter only by
indirection, but it is sure to appeal
to everyone. >
The records of the Marine Corps
furnished the basis for this authen
tic picture of the magnificent
achievements of the marines on
Wake Island. Bringing home to us
the great fight of fellow Ameri

and greatly outnumbering htem,
it becomes a glorious tribute to
admit defeat until their ammuni
