SISTERS UNDER
(Continued from Page 1)
Brady rhymes with Judy O'Gra-
dy. When it comes to green eyes
we nre nil sisters under the skin.
We'll sec if the dean's daughter
isn't like the "Colonel's lady."
"Susie I'll call your hand on
that scheme. How about a date
for the hop?" asked the discon-
solate Bo.
"0. K." replied Susie with a
significant glint in her eyes as
she bent to take a cigar from the
favorite box for a customer.
The few remaining days prior
the annual Senior hop at Ward-
more were full of bustling prep-
aration. Boys and girls scurried
about the shady campus getting
everything in readiness; com-
mittees worked hard in Barker
Hall decorating and arranging
for the big event. All the social
affairs of the college year faded
into insignificance beside this
splendid occasion. Susie caught
the spirit of excitement loo; for
didn't she have a date with the
prized football hero Bo Martin ?
Finally the night arrived. By
sending an S. O. S. for a lovely
evening dress from out-of-town
sister and by borrowing her
mother's diamond ring and a girl
chum's necklace Susie managed
to assemble a stunning costume.
Her precious dimes saved from
weeks of standing behind the
same glass counter went toward
the purchase of the daintiest lit-
tle silver slippers imaginable.
Needless to say Susie rivaled
even Janice at the hop that
night.
Susie Was a Knockout
"Gee Susie you're a knock-
out !" exclaimed Bo. And a new
light came into his eyes as if he
were really seeing Susie for the
first time.
"Same to you kid" returned
Susie but she ducked her head
to hide a rather triumphant
smile.
In the course of the dance the
time came for Janice to be Bo's
partner. Now was the time for
the revenge thought ho but
strange to say the well-planned
campaign had lost its savor.
Bo caught himself looking to
sec who Susie's partner was
and when he discovered her "tak-
ing off" in the two-close arms of
the Wyoming lad there appear-
ed a greenish tinge in his own
eyes. Pulling himself together
he went to find Janice.
"Of all things. Bo Martin"
stormed that much-sought-after
young lady "I've been waiting
here ten minutes for you. And
there you were gazing at that
cigar clerk as if you'd like to be
dancing with her. Perhaps we
can exchange partners ! '
''No use rubbing it in" sighed
Bo. "She can't help having to
work. She told me her kid broth-
er had infantile paralysis and
she's helping her mother pay for
his treatments. Her father died
last year you know."
"No I really don't know her
family history. Are we going to
dance or are we not?" With this
retort Janice showed how well
Susie's scheme was working but
Bo found little sweetness in the
revenge he had so easily gained.
Instead he thought the dance
would never end. The next one
he had with Susie who Had sud-
denly become his objective.
When he finally located her she
was talking animatedly to the
boy from Wyoming. At the
sight Bo turned sick with envy
for he realized that the male of
the species is the same under the
skin also.
"Oh Susie" ho implored
"won't you please sit this dance
out with me?" He led her to a
bench on the balcony where no
one could hear and proccded to
tell her that the joke was on
himself.
"But" sighed Susie ''it wasn't
a joke to me at all. I simply
had to do something. You would
not even notice me and there 1
had to stand day after day
watching you fall for that spoil-
ed girl who can get any boy she
wants just by crooking her fin-
ger. It wasn't very lady-like but
I knew she wasn't good enough
for you" confessed Susie.
"Gracious Sue it scares me
to think that I nearly finished
college without knowing how
much I cared for you. How
about being assistant coach next
year honey?"
"0. K." replied Susie who was
willing to admit being Janice's
sister under the skin.

girl in the city.
"The Y. W. C. A. does four
things for girls namely: sees to
their physical welfare their so-

and further their liernrv nrnor-

by means of literatures study
courses etc." Mrs. Trapp point-
ed out.
Next Mrs. Trapp told some-
thing of the work of the Y. W.
C. A. in Fort Worth. When a
girl is out of work she simply
registers at the Y. W. building
and if possible work is found
for her. Another phase of the
Y. W. work in Fort Worth is
that of the "biff sistnr nlnn."

NO MORE CHAUCER BUT
PLENTY OF TURKEY
Thanksgiving Day has come
again
Why we're glad is plain.
No mora Chaucer no more
Shakespeare
While the holiday is here.
Now we can eat and loaf and play
And thus enjoy Thanksgiving
Day.
Crisp roast turkey and the trim-
mings too
Then there's a football game in
view.
We'll all go boost the boys play
On this glorious Thanksgiving
Day.
THE BAYOU
When I walk along the shady
banks
Of the Bayou's crystal waters
I see the frogs dart here and
there
And yonder a fisherman loiters.
The sun puts out its golden
beams
On this water that is so queer.
It always stands so very quietly
Like a little child in fear.
I often times have wondered
Why this dear stream so true
Does not run swiftly onward
As most other rivers do.
But when the clouds aro heavy
And the rain begins to send
The Bayou then goes onward
Like a roaring mighty wind.
Then it seems that this stream
is tired
And it cares no more to flow;
It stands thore like a giant rock
Just why we'll never know.
. Johnnie Lee Green.
DIRECTOR OUTWITS
STUDENT AGITATOR
AT PATHE STUDIOS
There's a young American
strike promoter at the Univer-
sity of Southern California
whose popularity has suddenly
and sadly diminished. His loss
of power came about quite unex-
pectedly during the filming of
scenes depicting a football game
for "The Sophomore" a new
Pathe all-dialogue picture feat-
uring Eddie Quillan Sally O'Neil
and Jeanette Loff which comes
to the Lyric theatre on Wednes-
day night as Brownwood's first
mid-night preview.
The studio had arranged thru
a fraternity house to use five
hundred students as spectators
and had agreed to pay them five
dollars a day for their work. At
the end of the day's work this
amateur agitator discovered that
the studio had also engaged some
professional extras who were be-
ing paid more than the five spot
promised the college boys. Im-
mediately the A. A. swung into
action.
"Don't cash your checks
boys-" he admonished his adher-
ents. "We did as much work as
the other actors who are being
paid more than we aro. . Don't
cash your checks until we get
more money."
Director Leo McCarey was
called. "I'm sorry boys if you're
not satisfied" he told them
pleasantly. "But we engaged
you through the fraternity
house. . Inasmuch as you do not
care to cash your checks we'll
turn the money for them over
to the fraternity." And so say-
ing he left the field.
History does not record what
happened to the A. A. but when
the students returned for the
next day's filming he was
strangely missing.

As
we sit
here and wonder
about the weather a queer and
rather lively thought strikes us.
The weather seems rather in
keeping with the spirit of many
of our students. Right along with
the disheartening decision of the
location committee comes a de-
feat in football and a gloomy
spell of weather. As a result of
this many of our students arc go
ing around with long faces crepe
hanging for all they are worth.
But why look at things that
way I Did you ever hear that old
saying "It's always darkest just
before dawn ?" Wonder if that
couldn't well be applied to us.
Maybe our future isn't nearly so
dark as it might seem. We have
all decided that we are going to
win that game Thanksgiving
We stand a fair chance of win
ning the championship in cross
country and then there's basket
ball and baseball to look forward
to in the spring. Just remember
that after darkness no matter
how black it may seem must
come the dawn.
For the benefit of those who
haven't heard our cross-country
team defeated A. C. C. last Wed-
nesday to the tune of 2G-30. If
we can repeat the process
Thanksgiving in football and
cross country both several of
us will feel a lot better.
And speaking of hospitality
tnosc ooys treated us ukc roval
ties. In fact the hospitality of
A. C. C. has almost become a
legend. When they come down
here Thanksgiving let's meet
them and show them what real
hospitality is. They are plan
ning a special tram which win
make it hospitality on a rather
large scale but we can do it and
then let's beat them so they will
never forget it.
.
Someone might ask the cross
country boys if they know any-
thing about lettuce and see if
they don't smile or maybe laugh
oi)t loud.
Famous last linos: Yours
the turkey is all gobbled.

NOTES
Waitings from the Bastille
Due to the intrusion of suspi-
cious looking characters in the
past no visitors have been al-
lowed in the Bastille lately ex-
cept Bill Arch Woods Mac Mil-
ler and such conformed S. A.ists
as Myron Taylor. The innocent
expression of these boy's faces
expel all possibility of suspicion
of dangers rash actions words
loud noises or forbidden music
provided the amicable keeper
Mrs. Godwin is close at hand.
Stanley Agee of the Palace
Drug Co. Inc. occasionally de-
livers a little order and a big
noise. When the order is big
Agee hires a substitute. The
prisoners desirous of seeing oth-
er than the above mentioned
boys are asked to please meet
them on the steps leave instant-
ly and upon returning part com-
pany at the step. This is also
being sudden.
We aro indeed an unlucky
gang ndt only because of the
restraint which we feel as pris-
oners but also because of our
superstitions we nre 13 in num-
ber. Ruth Johnon became dis-
satisfied with house keeping and
living alone so she has moved in
with the ones who decided early
in life that happiness or wretch-
edness comes by contact associ-
ation with the various types of
dormitories. Perhaps she realiz-
ed that she was missing a large
percent of the school gossip that
is discussed nowhere to such ex-
tent as in the dormitory. Even
the Freshmen are being forced
to admit facts of ancient history
and give us glimpses from their
diaries of hidden treasures as
Miss Po3t requests for the auto-
biographies. Laugh Last
We wish to make an appeal to
someone who has the power to
banish saddened hearts to in
quire about employment for this
position. The employment Bu-
reau is composed of both blondes
and bruntetes including those
suffering from the epidemic of
loneliness namely: Margaret
Donneli president and Sonoma
Williams secretary. Just a word
of warning :besure that you seek
employment only while the foot-
ball or track team is out of town.
At any other time there is seri-
ous danger of being dreadfully
attacked by the young lady's
body guard.
""Astonishment prevails. Nell
very suddenly overcame a state
of deliriou8iicss Monday morning
and rushed up and down the
halls and from one floor to an-
other to announce that Thanks-
giving was two weeks off instead
of one. That seemed to be known
by all but we will admit that we
suspected something was going
to happen unexpectedly. The
climax came at two o'clock Mon-J
clay aiternoon wnen Well was
seen leaving the dormitory ap-
parently responding to the call of
ranch and home. Four days have
passed and not one word has
been received telling us whether
she went. Oh where can she be !
Poor little Margaret who is
not yet sixteen has been pining
daily for her "guardian angel"
or the "Romeo" school teacher.
We don't believe she wants them
both at the same time when she
is healing "Shine On Harvest
Moon" or "Please Come Back To
Me." Be careful my darling in-
nocence school "profs" know
their line well and it takes the
expert among feminine detec-
tives to distinguish the real from
the mythical. VVc have been able
to exercise only remote control
over this young maiden and are
anxious for the sister's return.

MY PAL
Every morning as I wake up '
And gaze at the clear blue skies
I think of a little 'ol pal
Who is intending to make me
rise.
I hear her gently step upon the
floor;
She walks quietly across the
room.
I fear that she will gel me up
If she has to use a broom.
Into the kitchen she calmly goes ;
She seems to be so nice
But in another daring moment
I hear her chipping ice.
Cold chills run up my spine
As I think of the frozen water
And in a flash I yell out
Oh say you "hadn't oughter."
She mnkes a dash for my bed-
room door
As quietly as a mouse
But before she gets close by
I am in another house.
But Oh how I love this dear lit
tle girl
The best pal that I ever had.
She's always there to help me
And to cheer me when. I'm sad.

One day a tramp was walking
down the street. As he passed
the window of a baggage com-
pany he noticed that they had
a sale on trunks. One of the
large trunks had a sign on it
which read "This Size for One
Hundred Dollars." The tramp re-
plied "So do I."
