Deai-ing? v
. Goldenrod is the name of t,hat
GUljlarid guy.
And did you know that Ina Mae
Tate is known as Emmy, Roe, Dick,
and Hezzy—all with "Tate" on the
end.
Wonder what happens when two
red-heads get together? Red, Sr.,
Dearing had a girl over from Fort
. Worth to see. him play' Saturday,
and she surely does have pretty red
hair, and she surely is crazy about
Red! . ' !
' Ina Mae Tate should have added
a postscript about herself when she
talked about "Lovers on .the Cam-
pus" the other day. . . \
■ Major Woodard certainly is popu-
lar sinee he has a great big radio
jn his room.
It surely is too bad that we, all
can't be as good looking as Press

Children at Football Games Furnish
Side-Line Amusement for Spectators
Some of the most interesting
things at a football game besides
the pep leaders and the drum-ma-
jor and the players are the chil-.
dren who come to the game witli
their parents. -
! Little Orleta Wilkiris persists in
getting-lost from Dorothy Davis'or
anyone else she is with. One time'
she was standing too near the side-
line when the ball came near her.
She turned and1 screaming, ran to
Temple Lewis who carried her to
her mother. ■ ■ • ;
Dr. Hugh B. Smith's white-head-
ed little boy is' another who likes
to sit too close to the side line and
.when his father sets him back it
is . not two minutes until he is be-
yond his first position, grinning
back for his father's approval.
Jim White Patterson amuses his
admirers by bobbing up and down
in time , to the music.

begs for some inoney for pop corn,
starting in. at a quarter and final-
ly getting down to a nickel. Mr.
Wilcox is much, too interested in
the game to heed her pleas/
Mack Blakeney makes faces and
almost snorts his displeasures when
the guard tells him to get back.
All the other little boys around
him grim their approval of his
spunk ■■ and go on enjoying the
game.
Little Billy Richardson can't. get
it all straightened out. He looks
first 'at the, band and then at the
crowd, that is yelling.
They Say That-
Fish Watkins tries to make love
to girls at his table at the' dining
hall. - -
Jimrtiie Widman calls number
26 quite often here lately.
A freshman called'the fort and

ting ?ather popular with the fresh-
men here lately.

LES LUNETTES INITIATE
NEW MEMBERS INTO CLUB
' Perhaps you have seen the
strange products of evolution that
were running around over/ the
campus last week with spectacles
arid pigtails. It seems that some
of the freshmen were rather con-
cerned over the welfare of these
fellow-students; but don't get ex-
cised, "Fishes,1* Les Lunettes were
initiating ' their new members.
The initiation began Tue ;day
morning. On Tuesday, Wednesdfj,
and Thursday all the pledges wore
the "Les Lunettes" pledge badge,
spectacles and pigtails tied with
ribbons 1 of club colors, pink and
white; none of them could wear
any makeup at ali, and the only
word which, thejr were permitted
to say outside of class was "spec-
tacles." few of the" number
ifound it quite difficult to corral
their" tongues, and found themsel-
ves in many embarrassing positions
on the campus.
Each pledge also, had her own
Specific part in the initation. Tues-
day .afternooji from 4:15 to 5:J5
o'clock, Dorothy Stockton, dressed
in -the tackiest" clothed available,"
was in front of the Home Econ-
omics Building shining shoes and
loudly advertising her trade. With
Roger Seaman and Mack Creswell
wading in sand and returning for
shine after shine, "Fish" Stockton
was kept rather busy. Beverly Key-
ser was seen Wednesday afternoon
from 4:15 to 5:15 standing on the
"stump" on the Dump corner.
Dressed in a plaid shirt, striped
pajama top and her usual specta-
cles and pigtails, with the addition
of cold cream, "Fish" Keyser held
a lighted candle in one hand and
a box of matches in the other. An
S.O.S. was soon sent to the Var-
sity for. more matches. On Thurs-
day afternoon from 4:15 to 5:15 at
regular intervals Lee Edwin Terry,
La Verne Loveless and Ina Mae
Tate worked diligently sweeping
the. sidewalks on the campus.
It seems that two of the pledges
did not like the idea of wearing
spectacles, no makeup and pigtails;
so they were allowed to leave their [
part of the initiation. in chapel.
Thursday morning. '
. The last and most important part |
of the initiation was held Thurs- i
day night at the home of. Mrs. H.
N. Smith, a, sister of , the present ]
club president and a past president i
of the" club. What happened . to j
the poor pledges that, memorable 1
night ? Ask one of the pledges and
see if she will tell you!.
Fant's Fantasies
The gang was sitting around the
house 'the other night .swapping
past experiences and relating "true"
stories. Sanders had finished tell-
ing a true : experience when the
Mighty Godwin spoke up, "Now,
down in Lometa, in the heart of
Texas,"' and he continued with a
very remarkable true event.
Sam Bass broke in. "If we keep
on someone is liable to tell a lie."
We were greatly saddened last
week by the departure of Fish Con-
erly. He was offered a position in
the Varsity to aid in dispensing
cold drinks and other eating in-
ducements. "Wfe'll miss Fish Con-
erly's demonstrations of ambitious
character.
Fish Smith rated a new pair of
overalls when he returned from
home last- week. Sanders and Van
Zandt were prepared to take 'pokes'
on the newly acquired property.
Smith was cornered hy Major San-
ders and Van Zandt. They both
swung heavily, Smith ducked and
Jim Venable received. Sanders' poke
in the face. He immediately lost all
interest in algebra and in the pro-
ceedings he was awarded a wound
stripe. ■
..Van brought in two pieces of
sheet music Saturday night. Sun-
day afternoon "Loveless Love" and
"When the Moon Comes Over The
Mountain" were painfully forced on
the resting students by Wood, Van,
and Sanders.
Hfrkins and the Mighty made a
flying *rip home during the week-
end. We suppose they went to see
tjieir "mothers." -
We are still wondering who Har-
kins' visitors were on Sunday af-
ternoon.
Fish William Smith made a Sun-
day call. He must have made a fair
impression, for he missed supper
and wandered in after church.
Sherrod and Jinrare the broad-
casters for. Colorado, while Shurt-
leff, Cornet, and Fuller uphold the
glory of Lampasas. We have a, re-
spect for Kelley, who lets Wise
County speak for itself.
Welsh has rated quite a few let-
ters in the past few days, We won-
der if everything is O. K.

A small boy went into a grocery
store and asked for a box of match-

"Please, mother says these
matches won't light."
"Won't light," cried the grocer.
"Why, look here!" and he struck
one on his trousers.
The boy took the matches away,
but soon Returned with them again.
"Please, sir, mother, says she
hasn't time to come and scratch
all her matches on your trousers."
