"Oh, there be players, that I
have seen, and heard others
praise, and that highly, . . . ■"
(Hamlet) hut watch the curtain
go up tonight at 7:30 in the
college auditorium, and you will
see other players. . . . The Tar-
feton Players.
Rec Hall Notes
The Rec Hall is looking quite
Christmasy this week. Students
seem to like the decorations so
much that they are actually leav-
ing them up.
Sally Haywood really thinks she
can absorb a little psychology in
sleep (early in the morning); a
o'clock period which isn't crowded
at first, anyway.
I heard from the fiscal office the
other day that Gerry Chambers
and Audrey Jean Shulze are be-
hind in their room rent at the Eec
Hall.
Can't any one ever play any-
thing buv "You'll Have To Swing
It?" on the nickel machine? After
all,, there are eleven other records,
and some of them are pretty. Try
them out sometime; you might like
them.
Stewart Boney and Jimmy Mor-
ris keep the trail hot between the
Rec Hall and the Varsity every
day between periods with various
and sundry co-eds clinging to their
arms. I said various, Jane.
Some people use the Rec Hall to
sleep (early in the morning), a
few use it to study; but most of us
use it to recreate in.
If there's a Jap in the Rec Hall,
Scott Casey's talking to her. At 8
(j'clock it's Lucille Moser; at 9:20,
Margaret Grissette: at—oh well,
just look at the girls' schedules
and you can figure it out for your-
selves.
These Home Ec girls are really
strangers in our place of recre-
ation. Here earners Marian Mayes
looking- positively unfamiliar in
these surroundings. Drop in again,
Marian, when Booger isn't in
class.
Dirty (the L. D. variety) says
he's enjoying the best of health;
just look at bis fat rosy cheeks.
Could this dining hall fare be re-
sponsible for that'!
Nomination for the sweetest and
most obiliging freshman girl'.
Ruth Ayres.
Shep comes in and sits with
Marjorie Mly ten minutes before
he looks at her. I guess he's too
busy winking at the other girls.
It really isn't the girls' fault the
divans are so deep that they have
to sit back so far and show their
knees. Boys, you can look some-
where else.
It's an impossibility to get
shorts from Tommy Gordon be-
cause he smokes his cigarettes till
they burn bis fingffSS,
And it's a shame the way Friou
mooches off David Bryant all the
time.
Are Boney and Jane really
studying or are they just using
that shorthand book for an ex-
cuse?
The divans in here are built for
only four, but they can and do
hold six and even eight on crowd-
ed mornings, especially right after
chapel.
Otto, how many pictures do you
have in your room at the Bry-
ants'?
It's a queer thing why all the
boys take their girls out the east
door. It couldn't possibly be that
big bunch of mistletoe over it.

Jack Hunt, end; Byron White, tac-

We believe that buying shoe re-
pairing Is like buying a railroad

CHATTER
It seems that all the Eids in
Tavloton are getting ready for
Christmas.
Little Jerry Chambers won't let
it dawn on her that it takes more
than a husky blues voice to get
and keep Parka.
By the way, what's become of
Boo-boo-boooo Bannister? Since
Baritone Johansen has first lent
us his voice, we have seldom heard
of Bannister. What's the matter,
cadets and co-eds? Is Bing Crosby
getting stale?
Looks as though iil' ole Dan
Cupid couldn't let Honeyeutt and
Sue Bishop alone. I see that they
were hepded for the Recreation
Dance Friday night.
By the way of the dormitory—
Jessie, Mary Ola, and Lucille have
gone out of business. The signs
were down off their doors last
Tuesday.
Why was Miss Hearon shocked
when she slyly walked up to room
■163 and heard an orator finishing
a speech? Does she, by any chance,
think that her few hundred cares
are angels? She had better be
careful, or she will be disappoint-
ed just as she was last Wednesday
night.
Don't you think that "Reddie
Howard" would be a cute nick-
name for "Blondie" Gentry? The
"R" comes from Reginald; the
"eddie' comes from Eddie; and the
Howard comes from the good old
steady's name.
Why was Billie Faye London so
embarrassed when she walked into
Azalea Henry's room Wednesday
night? It is rumored that Azalea,
had company. Could it have been
that good looking brother of Aza-
lea's?
Did any of you cadets know that
one of your kind told Miss Cox
he appreciated her recitation in
English 301 class the other day?
(It seems that the poor dumb boy
didn't recognize quotations when
he heard one. His classmates have
given up for his saneness, or per-
haps, they have given up the hope
that he will ever agree with the
majority of the class, and be satis-
fied.)
I hope that your Christmas will
be as good as I hope mine will be,
(or as a science teacher might say
to Jimmy Carj-igan——something
that will burn your tongue, but
warm you up.") Cheerio.

AUTOGRAPHED PHOTOGRAPH
RECEIVED BY MISS LILLARD
BELIEVED GOOD LUCK OMEN
When the curtain goes up on the
fourth annual jubilee of the Tarle-
ton Players tonight, the perform-
ance will have the blessings of Al-
fred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne as a
possible omen of good luck.
Bliss Lillie V- Lillard received an
autographed photograph this week
from these famous Theatre Guild
artists, who are really husband and
wife and are now appearing in the
Pulitzer prize play, "Idiot's De-
light." Miss Fontanne appeared in
the play which the Tarleton Play-
ers are giving, "In Love With
Love," when it played on Broad-
way.
Miss Lillard placed the "good
luck" photograph among a collec-
tion of others which include Leslie
Howard, Helen Mencken, Judith
Anderson,'and Blanche Yurks.

Chesterfield's my cigarette.
And I'll tell all hands they've
got a hearty good taste that
makes a sailor happy. And
listen, they're milder.
