ON TARLETON'S SOCIAL. LIFE
Students, we :are, or should be,
here in Tarleton for education. But
let us broaden our visions, and look
upon education as it really is. The
world itself has been defined as
"complete living", and again as
"social efficiency". In seeking our
education, we cannot afford to
leave out any part. The scial side
of education is of as vital impor-
tance as the intellectual side.
As a whole, thte social life of

Tarleton is at a rather low ebb.
Why don't we have more class en-
tertainments? Why don't we en-
tertain visiting' ball teams? Why
don't we have more large group
socials? Other schools do; we can
if we will. Such would develop
class spirit and school spirit, as
well as put us in a better frame of
mind for study and attention.
It is hardly conceivable how
many of the student body do not
even belong to any club, or take
part in the activities of their re
spective classes. If you are in
that group, where does the social
side of your education come in?
We should have more "get ac-
quainted" parties near the begin-
ning- of the school year. This type
of thing would bring' the student-
body closer together and create a
common feeling of interest which
is ncessary to the co-opeation and
progress of a group.
Of course, the present lull in
social life is quite unadvoidable
The influenza epidemic and the bad
weather have, during the past few
weeks, prevented many of our us-
ual good times but with the com-
ing of the spring months, we should
be able to raise the standards of
Tarleton social life higher than
ever before. Let's do it, fellow
students and may our Tarleton
live forever!
CORPORALS TO HAVE STAG
PARTY
for their arrows. Lewis Cromwell
was the king of hearts and Buena
Elliott, the queen. Games were
played until about nine thirty when
refreshments were served. Soon
afterwards every one went home
declaring they had had an enjoy-
able time. Mrs. Neal Gearreald,
the teacher of the class of girls,
sponsored the party and its suc-
cess was due in a great measure to
her efforts.
Just after the Christmas holi-
days the Corporals' Club decided
to spring some sort of an enter-
tainment. After due deliberation
and a hard fight by the minority,
the resolution for a stag party was
carried by the slight margin of
sixteen for and eleven against. The
basic reason for the stag party
was never stated, which probably
accounts for the fact that we can't
understand) why ano therwisa sen-
sible group of men should call for
a stag affair.
A eommittet was appointed to
investigate the circUmstances gov-
erning the case. After their re-
port was read the club unanimous-
ly agreed to go to a cafe and eat
and from there to tht theatre where
seats will be reserved for them. I
predict that despite the fact that
it is a stag party everyone will en-
joy himself to the fullest extent,
when the affair is given within the
next week.
BAPTIST PARTY
On Monday night, Jan. 31, the
Resident Young Women's Class of
the Baptist Sunday school gave a
party in the basement of the church
to which the Resident Boys' Class
was invited. A number of Tarle-
ton students were present. The
Valentine motif was carried out;
the dtcorations were of hearts; the
persons attending registered on a
heart; and a heart was the target
NEWS FROM LEE HALL
The next edition will be News
from, Creager Hall, and we wel-
come Miss Creager as our new
chaperon. l.
It seems that a great many of
the girls on this hall are homesick
or either they have some special
attraction at home. Lady Wilson
went to Ireland, Bobbie Robbins to
Dublin, Nell Carlton to Hamilton,
Marie Aycock to Hico, Johnnie
[Tollison to Thurber, and Eleanor
Kiker went to Dublin. Charles
Tittle returned from Meridian
Sunday afternoon.
Zeta Wall was Louise Williams'
guest for the week-end.
The Japs had their regular meet-
ing Saturday night.
FORT FROLICS
Great changes have been taking
place in the Fort. Many members
left at the end of the first semester.
Johnnie Edwards, Curtis Bryan,
Pish Kelley, Gobert Cornish, Fish
McKinney, Bill Howell, and Fish
Hardeman \yere among the num-
ber. Their plaees have been taken
by Fish Elliott, "Pinky" Hudson,
and Sid Coffelt. Pinky and Sid
have betn here in former years but
Elliott is still a Fish.
On the night of January 28, the
upperclassmen treated the fresh-
men. Hot chocolate and cakes were
served. As some lively action had
taken place just before the refresh-
ments we served, everyone had a
good appetite. The freshmen were
a rebellious group that night, but
the treats pacified them.
Nothing exciting happened be-
tween Monday and Saturday ex-
cept many clothes were send to the
tailor shop land there was much
groaning about skinned elbows, etc.
Saturday night about eleven
o'clock, hot coffee and hamburgers
were handed out to all of the Fort
members. A little later fifteen
"rahs" for the freshmen were
heard, so we suppose they were re-
sponsible for the treats.
Fish Gresham was gone again
Sunday. Nobody knows where he
went. |The Fort fears that he has
fallen in with bad company.
A cyclone struck almost all of
the rooms in the Fort Sunday
night. When the boys came in,
they found their beds on the floor,
the laundry scatttred ■ about and*
trunks overturned. All the fresh*
