AN ENGLISH ROAST
The English ^department
needs to have care, or it may
lose its good name Miss Sams
feels suro that her associates
are given:-to purloining, for
when" sh& wants to get back
some of her lost property, she
first searches the desks of her
colleagues; then she looks on
her own.^ Let it be suggested
that she'first search her own
desk for lost books or other ar-
ticles, because she is more like-
ly to find things where she left
them than anywhere else.
There comes a, time in every
professor's. life when she must
become absent - minded. The
English department has come
to this time.. It is an undisput-
ed fact that Miss Mahan is at
the: head of the department in
all things. But she must bestir
herself and commit some < un-
surpassable act of ahsent-mind-
eclness—-something worse, even
than reading business letters,
"with love" ^if she wants to
vie with Mrs, Woodward. Sure-
<\y absent-mindedness is tlie on-
ly reason which. Mrs. Wood-
ward.'COUld give for foregoing
the pleasure of . meeting her
cass—yes, going1 there ahead of
the students and waiting for
them, so that she could satiate
their hunger for knowledge
for we know that every member
of her class is earnestly seek-
ing wisdom. Knowing these
facts, no one will accuse Mrs.
Woodward of maliciously ' try-
ing to take away from her stu-
dents one of the few real pleas-
lires-they have.— -
EKESHJVJEN
I Ho! The freshmen are want
ing more room. We may be
few and far between, but we
sux-ely can spread out. If you
/don't believe, it, just sit tight
and watch.- , • ;;
The freshmen have nominat-
ed their faculty sponsor, but
haven't voted yet. As yet, they
have made no plans,—^you bet
—for when , we start making
plans, we are. going to make 'em
right.
Whoa! Guess I better go help
make those plans, and, then we
will announce.'

SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS IS
ORGANIZED IN UNIQUE
MANNER
BACON'S BEAR CATS
Ding-a-ling-ling-ling, the mad
rush is on to harig <in the fee<i
bag at Bacon's. This is al-
ways accompanied by the slam-
ming' of doors, the .'rattle {of
yaah-pans, and fchfe waving of
trowels. ;;
; When the Vacuum Cleaner
drivers, (the limousine twist-
ers,) gather; around the table,'
they represent a sight that
would interest \ari evolutionist.
It seems to be a case of the sur-
vival of the fittest. Another
thing that would point to evolu-
tion is that their arms seem to
be growing; longer as a result
of reaching so fax- for things
on the table; . Every little bit,
some one yells, "Get your elbow
out of my plate," when some
one is reaching across the tab-
le. ■ ,/ ■ '■
The finish , represents an- ar-
my oh the run^, One can see
them, crawjing out of the win-
dows and siding through the
doors as though a fire had brok-
en out. \
Then for the assernbiies.' The
society shieks; gather on the up-
per uoor tp talk over some new
holds, arid society events. The
ally rats and pugilists gather
on the lower floor and begin a
loud commotion of boxing- and
playing games. ' ;
This will give you an idea of
the life at Bacon's "Hay Loft.'',
If this is published, we will let
you know, who we are soon. .

Walking Cane Twisters.
THE HOUSE OF GOOD EATS
The boys division in the,Bap-
tist students Sunday sphool
class has been organized in an
almost military manner.
The class has been divided
into four companies. Each
company has the necessary offi-
cers, such as captains, lieuten-
ants, sergeants, and corporals.
However, the duties performed
by, the Sunday school officers]
are quite different from those!
of cadet officers. I
, Lewis Nor dyke, who is presi-|
dent of the class} has been cho- ■
sen to be lieutenant-colonel. [
Kennpth Williams, Carroll Dale]
O. J, Gregory, and J. T. Kegans;
have been elected captains of
the four, companies. The cap;
tains w|ll appoint their , own
officers, '
The four companies have en-
tered into a grade contest. The
grade will be, figured on the
basis of regular Sunday school
grade cards. Attendance will
be one of the main require-
ments. The winning company,
with the girl's class and all
Sunday schopl officers will, be
entertained by the three losing
companies when the contest
ends about the middle of Jan-
uary next year.
Dean Davis has been the
boys' Sunday school teacher for
a long time, and Mr, Howell has
been the assistant teacher for
quite a while. The class is j
proud to have such efficient and '
loyal, teachers. . ■ J
All Baptist-incliijed boys whoj
are attending Tarleton are!,
heartily invited to ,come to Sun-1
day'school and help,„us-to make [
pur newly organized (%ss;one J,
that will be a great benefit, ;
Although we 'have been ab^
sent for "the past two weeks,
it was not because of our grade.
We are in favor of taking
things as they come, and saying
very-little about it.'
: Quite a little excitement has
taken place since'we, Wrote last:
Mr. George demonstrated that
he was still a young: man when
he was jumping this way and
that, to try to escape the butter-
milk that he turned ■ over into
■W- lap-^-^-EatS;.-;41s6'--beiipfi.tted
the tailor by spilling .the beans
in his lap. Mr. George is now
trying to rate a "suction" so
that he may succeed Captain
Mulcahy,; :as he, tells: how ' he
used to makjfe that bd rifle crack.
: Most of the faculty members
who dine > with us have been
very much interested in the; art
of fortune telling for the past
week, I don't know: whether
they wanted to find out sonxe-
thing about themselves, or whe-
ther they just wanted to hold
hands with that new faculty
member of the Botany depart-
ment.' Anyway, • according to
Mr, Smith, some, of them are
collecting a bunch of demerits
to answer for. '.
( Here is a good hint to the
English sctudents; provided
they have English with Miss
Glover or Miss Atkinson—talk
in favor, of Texas University
when there is a football game
to be played. . ; ^
Now for the real, business—
our 'fish' seem to'get home-sick
every week end; and in spite
of all we can do, they just have
to go home. Ben had to gp see
that .pie' gal of his, last Satux*-
day, and 'Charlie D^ also went
home. ' ■ -
Minry could not. sleep well
Saturday night after learning
that he was a ^econd Lieuten-
ant, He was grieving for the
boys of Company B. Sergeant
Edgar is now known as "Hard-
boiled Murphy," "Punk". says
that the band is the best-drilled
organization' on the field; but
according to my old. lady and
me, after carefully figuring for
some time came to the; follow-:
ing conclusion.; ; B Company
first, Yidettes, second, A. Com-
pany third, Grubbs fourth, and
the band fifth; and of course,
you know figures'don't lie. That
is all, because there ain't no
more.

AGGETTES TO HAVE PICNIC
' ' L , '*•!■ ' ' '
The Aggettes are to have
their annual picnic on the Satr
arday preceding Thanksgiving;
That was their decision. at the
meeting last Thursday evening.
Jl'uch- elation was exhibited by
all presents wheH .Misg FeUriian
and Tressie mentioned the pic-,
nic. . are all Expecting a
real, s'^re eiipu^h good, time;
"• ' '-:.i* ■ '
;r ■■■,:'■
';:"V
^ ,,
and we know from pervious
proofs of Miss. Fellman's hospi-
tality and spirit we shall not be
disappointed. Let's all get O.
D, and help her make the pic-
nic the best the Aggettes have
-ever had, ' ■'
We had another real peppy
meeting Thursday night. Elizaf
b'^th - Bettis sang for us. We
had just one complaint to make
sabout her singing—there was
not enough of it. ;.
But since the, other Bettis
child, Virginia,, i in company
Wi^h Elsie Boyd, Dorothy Jean
Eppler, and: Shirey Ratchford
gave us a good laugh by doing
a stunt for, us, we were appeas-
ed.'- ■■'" .
It is not too late for, new
members to join the Aggettes.
^If you join, now, you'iiget to go
on the picnic; and Miss Eell-
ipan. mentioned a Christmas
party the other night; but that
ipay be a secret. ' Any way, the
picnic is not a secret; and we
are anticipating a lot of fun.
WHITE HOUSE NEWS
;All 'pirisoners were accounted for
after the man hunt Saturday night,
even if Freshman Lotnax did turn
six different colors.
We have lost another one of our
members,; Fish Rickard, who has
started batching. : ' .
We have with us two officers,
one a. "C. O,' 'and the other1 a1 "Ni.
C. Q." And when the command is
given,—I don't mean maybe—we
march. All we regret is that the
"C. ,0." is' an "A" Company man,
but his orders are obeyed just the
same. , ' .. ,
There were but. two of Our jolly
crowd who went home—Fish Hill
and Fish Brown. Hill came back
feeling, fine, but Fish Brown came
back as usual, with the,blues, hay-
ing to leave his little f'blondey" un-
til Thanksgiving. .
About the only thing that Fish
Johnson and - Fish Hill regret is
that "Suds" Matthews, our tipper
classman, rated a second lieutenant.
Now they have to put his boots, on
and pull them off. This, is/work,
^and they jre stjll. Stiff_,aB a_reaglt
of1 this. •" v, '
Fish Lomax was glad to get rid
of his roommato because now he
gets to sleep by himself.
Fish Gandy, to his sad disap-
pointment, found that his "fliance','
had' a , date with some other pros-
pect. ' ' ' ,,
It won't be long' now until
"Turkey Day;" and we, the mem-
bers of the White House, are one
hundred , per cent, for the ,purple
and white. We will sign o(F.~
"Down with Grubbs!" ' :
