The whole school is nuts” said a visitor to the campus Sat urday night as the ASABAB crowd was materializing. And any normal, well-balanced person would have believed it if he had been treated to the same sight. Huge mottled fowls, over sized walking cigarettes, six-foot six babies, Arabian sheiks, and German sgldiery strutted uncon cernedly here and there in a back ground that not even the most lib eral would call “academic.” It was a scene which if repro duced in the right places would have done more for the WCTU cause than any amount of saloon chopping. It was the perfect drunk’s delerium. Sbisa Hall’s decor consummated the madness. The path of entry led through a door broken in an oversized phonograph record down a long, serpentine passage done up to represent Tin Pan Alley—tin pans littered the floor. At one stop a blackamoor was asking Richard to open the door. The Goddess Terpsichore perched in a tree, and gigantic musical notes hovered in the air all through the hall. While the Prairie View Sep tet twanged and tooted in the approved professional way, the assembled architects of the col lege swayed and careened in the Dali-esque setting of their an nual Beaux Arts Ball. The song title theme for this year’s fes tivities accounted for everything from light opera to American folk music in the way of haber dashery. Cecil K. Smith as “The Barber of Seville” at one point unleashed his razor to give Oscar Stewart’s “Great Speckled Bird” a once over lightly. Marilyn Johnston of San Angelo as “Madame Butterfly” tripped the light fantastic with Richard Baldwin who came as “The Twelfth Street Rag” rather than Lt. Pinkerton, Butterfly’s usual be loved. Mrs. W. G. Rucker came as “Paper Doll” and went away with first prize in the ladies’ division. Her outfit was crepe paper and cellophane of many hues and en- twinings. , Mrs. Ann Crook, following the “Bird in a Gilded Cage” motif, trapped the second prize among the ladies. The “Grandfather’s Clock” escorting her was Jack Crook, the president of the Archi tectural Society. He swears that his affiliation with her had noth ing to do with her winning except insofar as he helped her with her costume. First prize among the men went simultaneously to Jimmy Gatton and Fred Buxton. They were “Frankie and Johnnie,” Frankie (Sinatra) and his out house (John, get it?). Second prize was given to Oscar Stewart who warmly portrayed Roy Acuff’s “Great Speckled Bird”. The bird was a tall, gold and green structure that prevented Stewart and this ordinance shall be in full force and effect beginning March 1, 1949. Passed, approved and ordered published on this the 16th day of February A.D. 1949. ERNEST LANGFORD Mayor ATTEST: n. m. McGinnis City Secretary LIT ABNER When It Gotta Go It Gotta Go Ry At Capp from dancing, sitting or breathing. Also rans were “Two Cigarettes” by Mr. and Mrs. J. G\ Carroll, “Right in der Fuhrer’s Face” by Emmett Trant, “Bicycle Built For Two” by Charlie Murray and Bet ty Ballerstedt, “Twelfth Street Rag” by Richard Baldwin, “Mam my” by C. M. Boatwright, “Sheik of Araby” by George Brown, “How Deep is the Ocean” by Jack Simth and “Woody Wood Pecker” by W. G. Rucker. Jack Cross arrived in black face as “Old Black Joe” while his wife came as “Green Eyes.” David Faulkner dressed himself up in a short white robe and brought a wooden harp to personify “Little David Play on Your Harp.” His wife, Dorothy, looked as if she had fallen asleep on her side while sunbathing. She represented “Night and Day”, one side of her face and body being black, the other white. Billie Wales weirdly told us that hg was “The Ghost of Bar rel House Joe” and we believe him. His face was as pale as ala baster with deep ebony lines and his pate was covered over with some more white stuff. His black suit set the thing off so effective ly that we steered clear of him all evening. W. R. “DeDe” Mathews appear ed to have lost everything in a poker game but “Beer Barrel Pol ka” explained his beer barrel cos tume. He danced with the cum- brance around him. Sut Matthews, his wife, was a breath of the Old West as “Pistol Packin’ Mamma.” S. M. Gibson’s striped get up and his ball and chain proclaimed him a “Prisoner of Love,” while his wife, Betty, brought “School Days, Dear Old Golden Rule Days” to life with her short dress and school girl accountrements. - MYSTERY - (X aSuj uio.ij ponurpioQ) the pictures as easy to tag as the Blacksmith’s Shop’s weather- vane.
