Amid the cheers and haws of the
early birds, the Senate kids sneak-
ed into their party. The dimpled
knees and hairy legs of the new
found kids were a sight that will
never again be equaled in the life
of the college. Short pants, short
skirts, big red bows and numerous
lollypops started the kids on their
party.
The first person to gain individ-
ual recognition was Patsy Lee.
This cute cutey, I mean kiddy, won
the prize in the pea juggling race
by reaching the finish line first
and with the greatest number of
peas on her knife. Following her
victory she offered all the kids
‘‘tea” from her newly won tea set.
To decide upon the best dressed
girl all the female kiddies stood
in a line and were surveyed by a

Betty Maurer, editor of El
Alamo, urges all the students to
have their pictures made today.
Today is the deadline. If you have
not had your picture made and you
wish to have it in the annual, today
is yom' last chance. Hustle down
to Studer’s and have your picture
made and don’t forget to order a
print for your club page.
If you have already had your
picture made, but have not seen
/our proofs, please go today and
choose the picture you prefer. Oth-
erwise the editoi’ will make the
selection. Don’t say we didn’t warn
you.

Kute Kiddies Kut Rapers at
Senate’s Sweet pea Shindig
group of judges. Mildred Ash-
more was selected as winner in
this contest. In a similar contest,
only for boys, Aven Torbert, with
his unique dress, carried off the
first prize. For the second place
three invading cowboys, John Mid-
dleton, Jack Howard, and Harvey
Smith, dressed as three-fifths of
the Dionne quintuplets, were a un-
animous selection. Of course,
these winners were surounded by
other “best dressed kids”.
The kids began to dance but
ended in playing the childish game
of “spin the bottle”. Since it was
a kid party, the game was played
on a childish scale. Host Wilson
knew how to end a party, in order
that everyone would be a happy
and contented guest.
May we add just a line thanking
ihe Wilsons for such a grand time.
That the party was a success was
the common opinion of all the
newly-found kids.
The picnic to be held tomorrow
by the Freshman Class was the
main purpose of the class meet-
ing Monday, December 6, in Room
2.
After the minutes had been read
and approved, the president, Ralph
Lehr, announced the weiner roast
Saturday, December 11, from four-
thirty until you go home, to be
held at the home of Carl Yantis
on the Vance-Jackson road. Twelve
midnight is the time limit, and
once you get there it will be hard
to drive you away sooner. There
are going to be games, eats, and
dancing, so be there.
Jimmie Chasey, chairman of the
social committee, urged more fresh-
men to buy their tickets and set
Thursday as the last day for the
tickets to be sold. They are
twenty-five cents each. The mem-
bers of the social committee are:
Ralph Lehr, Roy Swayze, George
Sanford, and Hazel Burnett..
The treasurer, George Sanford,
reported that the dues were not
being paid as they should be. They
just aren’t coming in. There are
some bills to pay, and the dues
must come in. The members of the
Freshmen Class not having a re-
ceipt for dues will not be allowed
to vote at the next Freshman elec-
ton. The treasurer also announced
that a deadline would be set after
which date no dues would be ac-
cepted and no receipts issued.
Jimmie Wolf anounced that
Freshman football practice would
be Sunday, December 12, at T. M.
I. field at 2:30 p. m. “Anyone that
expects to play in the games has
to be at practice. We need to get
the team shaped up. The fellows
that don’t need the practice al-
ways come, but the fellows that do
need practice never show up.”

The Sophomore Class met Mon-
day, December 6, in Room 2 and
as usual, accomplished nothing.
Tom Nolan got emotional and
made a motion, stating that the
sophs should go skating, (it rhy-
mes).
Phil Yochem then told the sophs
that to reserve the ice skating
one must get if from twelve to
three for the price of twenty-five
dollars. Miss Kathleen Jones
(ever ready with a slam) then told
the class how absurd the idea of
such a bunch as the sophomores
doing anything was. (Loud ap-
plause.)
Miss Brown ended all thought of
a picnic by stating that she was
tired of picnics (aren’t we all) and
that she had not had any fun on
the last few picnics that she had
gone on (a slam on her date, no
less).
Claude Cox made a motion, ask-
ing that the planning of the social
events be left to the social com-
mittee. “Lazy Cuss” Wilson an-
nounced that the social committee
(of which he happens to be chair-
man) never knows anything, never
does anything, and never has an
idea.
Finally Raymond Weber called
the meeting to order and adjourn-
ed it.
At the Student Association meet-
ing Wednesday morning another
series of announcements and chan-
ges was heard. Harold Stuart call-
ed attention to the fact that the
Senate-Cowboy barn dance had
been changed from the 17th to the
18th. Jimmy Wolf announced the
change of Freshman football prac-
tice from Sunday to Monday. Ralph
Lehr urged the freshman to buy
their tickets to the freshman wie-
ner roast.
Jack Howrd announced that bids
for the Senate-Cowboy dance
would go on sale Friday.
The Pie Club rose was present-
ed to Mildred Ashmore, “one of
the most poplar and attractive girls
of the freshman class” by Lloyd
Barbee. Thad Weaver announced
the election of two freshmen, Ral-
ph Lehr and Gordon Beitel, as Pie
Club pledges.
After the usual club announce-
ments by the secretary, who urged
everyone to cooperate with the an-
nual in making pictures, the meet-
ang was adjourned.
After several changes, the date
for the Senate-Cowboy dance has
been set as the 18 of December.
This gala event will be at Oak
Grove (Papes Barn), which is four
or five miles out on the Nacogdo-
ches Road. It will last from 9
.o 12 and music will be by Ted
Brown.
Of course, everyone is expec-
ted to come dressed in farmer at-
tire and to look as rustic as pos-
sible. Special event at the dance
will be the announcement of the
two honorees, chosen from the
fourteen nominees. Also a sur-
prise floor show is being planned.
The combination of the efforts
and abilities of the Cowboys and
Senators should make this one of
the best dances of the year. Every-
body is invited! Bids, which come
out Friday, are seventy-five cents,
stag or couple.
So everybody start looking a-
round for proper clothes, for a
date, and for a bid.
Since one-half of the participants
in the vocabulary contest wish to
take part in a contest in the spring
the Phi Theta Kappa is sponsoring
the test. Fifteen words will be
printed in the Junior Ranger each
week for about twelve weeks. The
first prize will be $5.00 and the
second $3.00.
