Whoa" Said Paul Revere at End of His
Ride—So Say Students on Examination
. Hera are ■ some definitions and
answers that have-.' been , selected
from papers of students over the
nation:
General Smedley Butler 'is a
court marshal of the U; S. army.
, A'. census taker is a man who
goes from house to house increas-
ing the poputation. ..
A corps is a dead gentleman, a
eorpse is a dead, lady.
The kodak is the Bible of the
Mohammedans.
A man is an animal split half
way up and-walks on the split end.
Napoleon's men were cannibal
because they existed on raw re-
cruits.
King Alfred conquered the
Dames. . 1 : '
RECORDS AND REPUTATIONS
The student who does npt realize the vital importance of his.
reputation should stop tq consider himself. Are you building a
foundation for a structure in your.youth that will bring disaster
crashing around you in later years? Jf so a great deal of sorrow
can be'avoided if the, student will start correcting his faults.
It is said that a chain.is as strong as its weakest link. After
you have reached a postion in life that you are prOud of, will
you be afraid that some support or weak link in your eh?iin of
life will snap under .the strain of a close inspection? There is
jio perfect person. We all make mistakes. One misstep is.not
likely to injure a person's- character,,but how you carry on to re-
build the daijjage that has been done is most important.
The record that you have built in your home town and in Tar-
leton will be a. basis for your future life. Ex-students send Tar-
leton in as their college when" they apply for a position, and the;
party who receives tie application nearly always write for their
records,' The school authorities return the record of a life' estab-
lished in,Taleton. Jf that record is clear, well ajid good; if not,
it is too bad.
Stop and think how you are establishing a reputation now. Try
to keep out of trouble an<} do not let demerits get the best of you.
These and other points of character are l£,ept to be placed upon
your record sheet. Will your, recordpbe bright, or-will, it have a
blot on iti? - • ■ ■

A PSYCHOLOGICAL FACT
AGEE AND OLIVER WIN

'' Last Friday afternoon, at the
home of Mr. Wilkins, the second
pingt pong match featuring Mr.
Agee and Mr.- Oliyer versus Mr.
Wilkins and C. M. Mitchell ended
in a victory for the former makes
the score between these two teams
even, each having won one match.
The games were closely contested
and the final scores were 21^14, 15-
21,17-21, 21-16, 21-18, 15-21, 21-
18. The last game decided the

We all work better in the spring,
And really do not mind going to
■ school-
When the little. birdies begin t.o.
And the weather is nice and cool,
'Tfs then that we, run about and
shout.. ' 1 '
And have just worlds o' fun;
'Tis then that brains begin to
sprout
With new, ideas by the ton.
But something.wpnt astray.
And things did not turn out that
way. ..
We have been visited by a freeze, :
Which has damaged the blossom-
ing trees. ...
We have no control over blizzards
or showers;
Neither control the lightning nor
' breeze 1
Then is it any fault of ours,
If our minds have encountered a
freeze?.
So, if someone should ask you
Why our school records are low,
And why we appear to be so dull,.
Then tell them, friend—for it is
true—
That our sprouts are frozen in the
. hull,
And our brains have received, a
touch o' snow.
