The cheer leaders get wanried up with a quick round of “patty cake, patty cake, baker’s man,” and later on wind up the workout With a few prac tice hand-stands^ and back flips. The student onlookers whistle, clap, and polish heir cow-bells. Yqu might ask and wonder if the sippers have a yearly bon fire.; Well yes, they do have a fire, the substance of which is made up of student contributions in the form ’ of empty cereal boxes and old check stubs. I’ll have to check with Web ster; oh his definition of the Word, “bonfire,” but I believe it’s safe t0 say that. T.U,’s ; pyrotechnic en deavor doesn’t fall in that catego- ry U fi ; il r [!!' Since this is thie biggest single show of spirit throughout the year, there is always an unusually large turnout.

A hushed silence falls over the en thusiastic gathering as the head pep leader steps up with his ruby studied Ronson and sets off the mountain of Post Toastie contain ers. As the flames reach their high est beak, the teahounds give their favorite and most impressive yell, “Sis, boom, bah,—Sis, boom, bah, —We’re from Texas you-oo,—Ha ha ha.” (Ha ha ha.) When the last note ik sounded, everyone makes a mad, mad, rush for choice ringside seats. Nothing like a toasted marshmellOW to give you that ole spirit. There are many more Plants on the gay life of the Teasipper that space won’t allow here. All I can say is that you’ll be running into some odd things up there in the capital city that will have to be taken in the stride. Enough for that. The one thing we jail know is that there will be no regrets when they light' up the TjU. tower next Thursday night.

Most of y^)u will be in Austin on Thursday and can't have a family reunion that day and you will have many things planned for the holidays, but I hope you will set aside some time to spend with Mother and Dad and to let them know that you appreciate the sacrifices that they have made and are making for you. Let us carry out the purpose of the Pilgrim Fathers when they set aside this day of thanks and express our .gratitude to Our Heavenly Father for the many blessings he has bestowed upon us and, while we give thanks for the blessings that are ours,.let us not forget those who are less fortunate and the responsibility that rests upon, us to help make their Ipt a little better.

The Longhorns are aware that the Aggies reach their highest pitch of the season for the T^xas game. Steers Will Be Ready Consequently, the Steers will be loaded Thanksgiving Day. There should be no psychological letdown in their ranks. Their two finest runners—Ray Borneman and Ran dall Clay—are at their peak. Their passer, Campbell, has ■ the confi dence that he lacked earlier in the year.
