HAIL AND
FAREWELL!
Here is the Co-ed Thresher, we hope you like it. If you don't, j
here it i.s just the same. We say "Hello" and "Good-bye" at the |
same time, and hope that you really wish us well, in spite of the |
tiling's you say. !
To some of the staff, it is more "Good-bye" than "Hello," for :
some of us will never have anything more to do with a Co-Ed ;
Thresher. Did we hear someone give three cheers? Tut! That
was ungentlemanly.
But seriously. To those of us who have weathered two Co-ed ;
Threshers, and those of us who have known three, the thought of ;
a last farewell somehow makes us turn away. They've brought
their joys and they've brought their sorrows, but whatever they
have been—good, bad, or indifferent—they have been a part of our
re at Rice.
Students prate of co-o? . lion in this and that, but until one of
i iu-m has seen from the inside how the Co-ed Thresher works, they
do not know what the word means. Slime and senior, soph and
junior, they all get together and stick with it till the last whistle
blows and the last slug is set. Nobody grumbles about what they;
i ave to do. il >-re is no griping. There is simply whole-souled co-
operation. i
It is not always fitting for an editor to digress into the personal,
and, were not this a special paper and the occasion a special oc-
casion, we would follow the usual custom. But the editor, who has
worked on three such papers, wants to extend her most heartfelt
thanks ami appreciation to every girl in Rice Institute for their
co-operation and their loyalty. There i.s not one who has not done
her part in some way. And to members of the staff in particular
should a large measure of thanks go. And the girls come and
girls go, may the Co-ed Thresher go on forever!

one of my well known delightful ar-
ticles for her literary chef d* oeuvre,
as I did last year. ~
I consented, al-

"Owl" to contrib-

iness man. He is

wrong, and I am
quite fond of him,

duty to my own
sex more.

the institute ought to give a solid
iron pen wiper to Coach Heisman if
he has been able to persuide them to
get up an interest in the integral of

Phillips, and what not.
The shorter the girl's ponjolas get,
the more boys try to obtain a growth
of facial herbage usually called a
moustache. Quite a number of them
have been inflicted on the institute
lately—and yet some of them i. e.,
boys, have the nerve to gripe about
feminine styles.

that he loves to make pals of his

What he needs is a woman's love and
care, but he says that the girls who
takes up tickets at the "Texan" is
already married.
