Charles: What was it a trtind man
took at breakfast which restored his
sight ?
James: He took a cup and saw sir
(saucer).
Hugh: Why is A like a honey-
suckle ?
Loyd: Because a B follows it.
Margurite: Why is a man some-

Ruth: Not because a woman needs

Homer: Why is Ireland rich?

A bright young student who had
just entered school, passed by the li-
brary, looked in, and noticed that
everyone was silent, and that there
was so little noise, he turned to his
companion and said, "What kind of
class do they have in there? Neither
the pupils nor the teacher say nay-
thing. They all act dumb-like."
Loren Hammock was seen driving
an old Ford car up and down the
streets of his home town, with a sack
of wheat in the front seat with him.
Someone asked him why he hauled the
sack of wheat around with him. He
replied, "I am just trying to learn to
drive with one hand.' '

position so the most ignorant can un-

"It's the little things of life that

hen kid brother from under the sofa.
"Spot" Hargrove: "Is Dean Davis
satisfied with you?"
"Jelly" Barton: "He certainly must
be. Today he said, "If all my pupils
were like you, I would resign tomor-
row.' That shows he thinks I know
enough."
Homan Gragg: "I want to know
where I stand in your affections."
Thelma Clark: "Be seated."
Minister: "My boy, do you attend
a place of worship ? "
Jim Bridges: "I'm on my way to
her house now."
"Well of all the nerve," she said as
she slapped his face. "Don't you ever
try to kiss me again."
"All right," he replied meekly. "If
that's the way you feel about it, get
off my lap."
Dutch Blackstock: "What's that
noise ? "
Bob Williams: "A fellow with bal-
loon trousers sat down on a tack."
Virginia Hennigan: "Something is
preying on Aiken's mind."
Lurlyne Sellers:. "Don't worry, it
will die of starvation."
DIDJA EVER
Say, didja ever
Go to the postoft'ice
Looking for a letter
From your best girl
And get there and
Find you have one
But it isn't from her?
You take it out
Put it in your pocket
And carry it around all day
Finally you open it
To find that you have
Fallen heir to a
Hundred dollars!
Say, didja?
You didn't?
I didn't either.
HOW TO RECOGNIZE THEM
You can tell a Senior
By his knowing cap and gown.
You can tell a Sophomore
By the way he struts around.
You can tell a Freshman
By his timid looks and such.
You can tell a Junior,
But you can't tell him much.

PLOWBOYS WIN SECOND
CHAMPIONSHIP OF YEAR
: (Continued from page one)
and slow at times, Wesley defeated
Paris 34-23. Wesley made several
scores before Paris realized it, and
the latter was never able to overcome
the big lead,
Tarleton vs. Grubbs
In the fastest, hardest fought, and
most interesting game of the tourna-
ment, the Plowboys defeated Grubbs
35-27. Although the absence of Capt.
McCullough was greatly felt by
Grubbs, they fought harder and never
gave up. The Grubbites represented
the school that night with a large
number of students.
All of our boys played the best' of
games that night.

Wesley GP FG PF TF Mi Ma TP
Bobbett 4 20 10 | 8 6 46
Bobbett, Wesley forward, was high
point man of the tournaijnent with 46
points; Hicam, Wichita jFalls center,
was second with 42 points; Houghton
of Tarleton was third with 39 points.
Bobbett and Hicam are both good
men, and played excellent games, but
Houghton would probably have been
high point man if Coach Wisdom had
not taken him out of the easier games.
Fitzgerald was a high scorer with 30
points.
ADAM AND EVE AND THAT
APPLE
How many apples did Adam and
Eve eat? Some say Eve 8 and Adam
2—a total of 10 only. Now we figure
the thing out differently. Eve 8 and
Adam 8 also—total 16.
And yet the above figures are en-
tirely wrong. If Eve 8 and Adam 82,
certainly the total would be 90. Sci-
entific men, however, reason some-
thing like this: Eve 81 and Adam 82
—total 163.
Wrong again. What could be clear-
er than, if Eve 81 tind Adam 812, the
total was 893. If Eve 811st and Adam
812, would not the total be 1,623 ?
The following is another solution:
Eve 814 Adam, Adam 81242 oblige Eve
—82,056. We think this, however, not
a sufficient quantity. For though we
admit that Eve 814 Adam, Adam if he
80,81242 keep Eve company—total
8,082,056.
All wrong. Eve when she 81812
many, and probably she felt sorry for
it, but her companion, in order to re-
lieve her grief, 812. Therefore, when
Adam 81814240fy Eve's depressed
spirits. Hence both ate 81,896,864 ap-
ples.
If there isn't a thing that's going
right,
And you're losing out in life's great
fight;
Remember that either in work or in
play,
Where there's a will, there's always a
way.
If you want a certain thing, my lad,
And that one thing just can't be had;
Just spite yourself and say it may,
For where there's a will, there's also
a way.
If your school work piles up neck
high,
Don't look at it and merely sigh;
But go to work and rightly say:
Where there's a will, there's always a
way.
And you work in vain for half the
night;
So if you've an English theme to write,
Keep working on till break of day,
For where there's a will, there's also
a way.
