Shaves 15c, Hair Cuts 25c
At this time the night hawks are
feeling a little bit despondent over the
loss of our beloved Colonel (Easterly
ing). He was a true and noble pal,
and we are all proud to be remember-
ed as one of his manjr friends. We
hope this is not the end of his educa-
tional career. He expressed his in-
tentions of^returning next year.' We
feel sure that he will make as many
friends elsewhere as he has here.
We feel honored by having with us
the second semester the honorable Mr.
Starley Boykin. Mr. Boykin, better
known as "Barley," is a well known
citizen of Grapeland. He has told us
4$ all about the place, but has not con-
vinced anyone that there is such a
place. However, anyone who knows
Barley knows that he is honest and
does not tell very big yarns.
Fish Bayless thinks the hospital is
a pretty good place to go when you
get tired and sleepy, but he does not
think anyone should put in so much
time sleeping.
Brooks tried his best to leave us
the second semester, but there was
some kind of an attraction here that
managed to keep him from leaving.
Honest, now, he didn't want to leave
as bad as you might think.
Flint tried out an experiment some
few weeks ago. He decided that the
price of hair oil was a little bit too
high, and without the landlady's con-
sent he proceeded to help himself to
her hair oil. It seemed to be a pretty
good experiment, for he used it, for
about a week; now the landlady js
wondering where her furniture polish
is. ' ' .
We are starting with a clean slate
this semester, and we will try to put
the night hawks a little farther to the
front than they have been in the past:
It will be only a matter of a few
months now until school will be out,
but we always could do more studying
during warm weather than we could
in cold weather, so,look out for.

Reckon how came Avis Brown
to lose her drag with Pauline Mc-
Mordie???
We wonder how many dates
Jewell Cox can have in one night.
. If any of the good looking co-
eds would like to have a picture
of Kenneth Dailey, see Dixie Fos-
ter as she has a supply.
Wouldn't it look funny to look
out and not see Alma Robinson and'
Gilmer Williams walking from side
to side of the forty acre campus.
We wonder why it that Velma
Montgomery has the S. A. so of-
ten?
We had the pleasure of seeing
Iola Cumbie bid her sweetheart
goodbye Sunday afternoon.
If there is any chance the Dim
Specks are going to be in Arling-
ton Friday and Saturday nights
to see Star and his gang pour it
on Grubbs.
Merry Valentine day.

Dear Students:
We are back again after many
examinations and a serious case
of flu, mumps and chicken pox.
We are indeed glad to be back and
to find that some of our friends are
still single—even Florence Green,
though she does like the name
Wayne Rider.
Dixie likes June the best of all
months. We think it is because
you can wear white dresses in
that month.
We would like to know when
Mae Blackman got the alarm clock
that she is wearing on her left
arm. Maybe she plucked it from

COMPANY "B" DO YOUR STUFF
(By Rear Rank Cadet)
Say fellows, what are we going
to do, are we going to just slouch
around, like some have been doing
and: let Company "A" win over us ?
If we do, it will not be the fault of
our officers. We have the best
in school. The fault will be with
the cadet corps.
Some of us go out on the drill
field and slouch through the move-
ments just any way to get by. That
isn't the Tarleton spirit. Put ev-
erything in you into what you are
doing. I kndw my faulty are just
as many as yours, but that isn't
the thing. We can overcome our
faults if we will pay attention, to
commands and try to learn.
We have our rifles. Now let's
get to work, practice in our rooms,
quit griping and back our officers.
Then we will be the winning com-
pany.

SAY DIDJA
Say buddy, didja ever go to your
next door neighbor to see if he in-
tended *-to go to the show, and he
said that he was but he had heart
trouble. And this put you to
thinking and realizing the fact
that you never did have a date with
a certain little co-ed that often en-
tered your mind' and stole some of
your sweet and happy thoughts.
And you knew that any casual ob-
server could tell that you had been
attacked by that awful affliction
most familiar,to students. And
say, didja, then just bust out, "I
wish that I had a date with
And then finally you got your
friend to make the date for .you be
cause he was very well acquainted
with her, and you were in doubt as
to whether she knew you or not.
And then, sa-y didja ever go to her
house with the expectation of car-
rying out that long looked for date,
but the f^air one said, "I am sorry,
but there must be some mistake,"
Say, didja? Laurence McAnelly
did.
"SAYINGS FROM THE SIDE-
LINES"
The Judge: "You are charged
with x'unning your car sixty miles
an hour, smashing a telegraph
pole and a plate glass window and
injuring six people. What have
you to say?"
The Offender: "Great Scott,
Judge, doesn't the fifteen dollars I
paid for my license entitle me to
any privileges at all?"
Her "Do you play golf?" .
She: "No, I don't even know
how to hold the caddy,"
She: "I showed father the vers-
es you set me. He was pleased
with them."
He: "Indeed, what did1 he say?"
She: "He said he was delight-
ed to find that I wasn't going to
marry a poet."
"It is better to smoke here than
hereafter."
' "Let's think hard now.'
"Naw, let's do something that
you can do too."
