Dear Jack:
Wednesday, November 11, is go-
ing to be one more exciting day
for Tarleton, Everyone is looking
forward to it, some with a happy
anticipation; and some with uncer-
tainty, almost dread. It is the day
when commissions are confirmed
or rejected—the day when cadet
officers are "made" or "busted." I
might add, too, that many a co-
ed's heart is often broken on that
day.
Dean Davis has planned an in-
teresting program for us on 'Ar-
mistice Day. He has asked Mr.
Odie Savage to deliver the ad-
dress. I wish that all the students
in Tarleton could know him per-
sonally as we do, and know the in-
teresting facts in his life as we
know them. They would all be
more. able to appreciate his ad-
dress.
Thanksgiving will soon be here!
Eating turkey is going to be fun.
Believe it or not, Jack, in spite of-
the depression, Mother is going to
have turkey for our Thanksgiving
dinner.
I have heard some of the stu-
dents planning their holidays, and
from the looks of things, everyone
is going to have a good time.
Grades were posted last week,
and it wa.s certainly pathetic to see
some of the grades these freshmen
made. Fifteens and twenties were
abundant. Sixty-five was consider-
ed excellent by some. However, all
the low grades weren't made, by
freshmen; upperclassmen made
them, too. Tens were made in my
Trig ..class I think a lot of these
low grades were due to the depres-
sion. The students have been wor-
rying about conditions at home to
such an extent that their grades
are affected.
The only things around jhere
that keep the college looking pros-
perous are the new campus im-
provements and the S. A. era.
There doesn't seem to be any de-
pression in love; Yours, as ever.
Tee. .
FORT FROLICS
• Several of the boys are, already
counting the days until the Thanks-
giving holidays. Their S. A, must
be at home or somewhere, not in
Tarleton.
Pondrum likes to read the jokes
in College Humor and other maga-
zines.
We wonder who started this "Get
ceiling idea." The colonel said to
cut it out.
Fish Lambert is in love again.
He changes every week. He is get-
ting worse than Glemiey. But you
should have seen, or did you, the
way he and Fish Watkins, (who is
also in the race for the same girl),
looked Saturday night when she
went to the show with somebody'
else.
Otto and his room-mate, Puffff-
lugger , were in the race for
"Buggs," but who- was with her
Saturday night
The Blackwells have a hard time
keeping1 their soap.
Fish Elam has the S. A, worse
than usual, if that were possible.
Running Gear says that he still
talks in his sleep about a certain -
girl in the Dump.
Haynes had a date with Fish
Williams for the engineers' picnic,
^here was James ?
There is an epidemic of the new
songs in the Fort. The "Fort Boys'
Quartet" is going strong.
Fish Watkins is reading "The
Life of Napoleon." We wonder if
he cogitates that he can get some
ideas from the "little general."
What was in the packages Fish
Kelly had Thursday ?
In the biggest lie contest on the
engineers' picnic, Brewster told a
good one.
Sir Walter Glenney has been seen
hanging his head for the last few
days. We hope it isn't that seri-
ous, Glenney.
Who threw the orange peeling at
ehow Saturday morning?
Stapp is happy'now. He has cred-
it for a course he was taking; so
he got to drop the course. \¥ho
wouldn't be happy?
The Hon. Homeyer visited in the
Fort for a few minutes one after-
noon this week.
What did Shafer do with his bath-
ing cap?
The Fort is already planning' its
baseball team. Watch us go.
"Gut" and "Race Horse" go to
bed too. early.
Fant's Fantasies
"Fish" Smith has been number-
ed among the missing. We hope he
won't forget us cadets out our way
now that he has moved,
SheiTod Smith . was disgusted
Saturday and felt that he needed
some consolation, so he went to
Colorado "to see his mother,"
Venable couldn't make the trip
with Smith, but he stayed to knock
the co-eds over at the gym party.
Dressed as a red spotted ghost, Jim
went to aid the ether co-eds and
cadets at the gym-.;
_/ Lee Harkins assumed a green
mask to hide" his .visage Saturday
night, .
Sam Bass was himself at the
party; he looked up to the tough
outlaw standard we think.
There was a weeping and wail-
ing and gnashing of teeth when
the grades were posted. Everyone
vowed to make the other grades
look small the coming six weeks.
We wish that this .Will hold true.
"Pest" Welsh an'd "Fish" Hall
have moved next to Sam Bass and
Kelly. Everything has gone smooth-
ly since the change. ■
Pest has earned the name of
"Toughie" also. We wonder how
and why.
- Gibbs and. White seem to be ideal
boarding house pals. . 1
With the coming of the carnival,
Sam Bass, Lee Harkina, and Kel-
ly extolled the wonders of luck
they had experienced in the past.

ful and interesting year for every

Did'ja Ever ... ?
Did'ja ever leave town for a few
days
To attend to some imporfant
business,
And then when you came back
Did'ja find that your room-mate
Had been wearing your best suit
And there were black curly hairs
on the coat?
Did'ja ever? Huh?
Well, T. J. Melton did. ,
GIRLS RECEIVE SOME
RULES OJjTIQllETTE
Miss Lo.raine Yarbrough had
charge of the girls' chapel pro-
gram Tuesday., The subject was
"Manners." Miss Yarbrough did
ilot speak on the subject but gave
each girl a mimeographed copy of
rules of etiquette to be observed oh
the campus, in the dining hall, the
dormitory, the class room, the
halls, the Varsity, the auditorium,,
and at the theatre. It is needless to
say that the girla welcomed this
information regarding conduct in
public places. Although etiquette
is an old topic of diseussion, it has
not yet reached perfection in Tar-
leton.
Such rules as "Don't crumble
your crackers, in your soup," Ettid
"Spread only part of your slice of
bread with butter," caused some
"bright" students to ask what must
be done with the crackers and the
other piece of bread,
"Never gesticulate with your sil-
ver" is another rule which has
caused much perplexity^ on the
part' of a few students who are
wondering how they can talk with-
out waving a knife or folk in mid-
air.
"Start early enough so that it is
not necessary to. rush to reach
school before the last bell rings."
This is a very important rule but
one which does not apply to S.
A'ers.—Imagine a couple of such
rushing madly to chapel!
Some people are inclined to be-
lieve that the following rule, if
ever heard of, has never been ob-
served by dormitory girls, "The
courteous person isn't the one who
gives forth such unearthly yells
down the hall." When someone
yells, "Man in the hall," over at
the dump and one hears the com-
motion that follows, then- one does
not doubt but what the following
caution is needed, "Remember that
you don't live in the garden of
Eden."
Then, "Don't keep your date
waiting—he doesn't appreciate you
any more when you do come down"
—We wonder!
If the following rule is not ap-
preciated by the girls, then just
ask the boys—"Don't order a thick
malted milk or a banana special
unless there is some reason for
your being hungry. Don't order
such then unless the boy imakes
the suggestion." In other words,
be considerate.
It is a general belief that the.
student body of Tarleton is a loyal
one, but when at a ball game do
not forget to show your loyalty to
your team by yelling when it is
time to yell and stopping when the
yell leader indicates, "Don't be of-
fensive to others if you must eat
pop corn or peanuts." "The well
mannered girl is never boisterous
and.. loud-mouthed even at a ball
game."
■'In'^summing up the 'subj?-i« of
etiquette one might say that
manners always- demand that oue
remember the other person. Kmur ■
son says, "Life is not so short but
that there is always time enough
for courtesy."
S.O.S. CLUB ENTERTAINS WITH
PICNIC AND TREASURE HUNT
Green's Creek wa3 the scene of
the first entertainment of a newly
organized girls' club, the S. O. S.'s.

■they 'had a picnic and treasure
hunt. Weiners, pickles,, buns, cold
prinks, an'd|' fruit composed the
menu. A box of candy was the
treasure, and it was won by Tem-
ple Lewis and Helen Russell. Games
of croquet were' also< enjoyed.

guerite Pate, Garnett Alexander,
Muriel Jones, Charlie Elam, Gwen-
dolyn Williams, L. S. Amburgy,

nita Reed, and Howard Ross.
