The Lamar Tech student
chapter of the American
Society of Civil Engineers
will hold its next regular
meeting at 7:45 p.m. Wed-
nesday in the Engineering
Library, Tommy Sheffield,
president, has announced.
Each year we seem to
have a bigger and better
week. Participation in-
creases each year,with the
student body and faculty
helping make this Lamar
tradition a success.
Optimistically speaking,
each year those who do not
participate in school acti-
vities decrease in number.
Maybe one of these future
years we will draw near a
100 per cent participation
in school sponsored acti-
vities, other than the small
number that participate
now.
Just suggesting, not criti-
cizing; but in order to con-
tinue to have a more suc-
cessful Western Week or
any other event, we...that
means each of us.. .will
have to organize and sup-
port it, and eliminate the
group of nonparticipants.
Remember Engineering
Day Feb. 24. Let's give it
our wholehearted support.

Well, sir, justice was did in grand stile by "hanging
judge" Schkade, with the aid of a trew blew and honest
jury and the expert guidance of Prosecutor Jones.
Invaluable testimony was brought before the court at
the "Trial of Dr. R. W." in the person of Howard V.
Galliher. Backbone of the defense for The Accused,
Dr. R. W. Setzer, was played brilliantly with typical
mischievous air by Anthony "I'm a great guy" Ippo-
lito. He didn't miss an objection if he could.
One of the stellar performances was given by Burt
Lee in his portrayal of Dr. Setzer on the golf course,
in the class room and up the creek. Even the good Dr.
admitted he had been had, bad. Congratulations, all.
Most enjoyable...signed, Iamafan Megarity.

La Bella Union! Ooo la la! Cherchezla femme!. . .in
words of puredeeole horse smelling cowboy, Whoopee-
eeeeeeeeeeee! One question. Who was the face on the
barroom floor?
Suggestion for next year. The spirit was fine. The
participation great. The dudes plenty. But, why don't
somebody next year get him a medicine show and sell
a product such as "horse 'de cologne" and advertise
it as real gen-u-ine western smellin’ water. That
should add atmosphere; may not help grade points, but
it's plumb western.
Big dance tonight, people. Here's a chance to get even
with yore worst enemy. Highheelboots! Square dance
and hillbilly music! What better chance to step on toes.
Fellers, be sure and come., .but, check this...it costs
$1.25 to come stag and only $1 to come drag. Brang
a gal with you even if you can.
Now, as the sun sinks slowly in the west, WEST, that
is, and the days of yesteryear go backwhere they be-
long, one can notice the proof of the hard life of the
pioneer stamped on the faces of many Tech people:
Green gills from cigar smoking,limps from highheeled
boots, bent tongues from rolling bull durham, and
empty pockets from being fleeced by the Carnival,
Bella Union and the Sheriff's Department.
So spit out the chewing terbacky, shave off yore beard,
shuck those boots, and let's all try our hand at good
old slow moving 20th Century Week, Save yore Con-
federate money, boys, the South's gona rise agin!
