The editor of the Megaphone
turned over his keys and pen
to the rest of the staff this
week, and went to Waco to at-
tend the meeting of the State
Press Association, which is in
session there Thursday, Friday
and Saturday. If the Mega-
phone is not up to the usual
standard this week, we hope
our readers will attribute it to
the one who holds the key to
, the editor's desk, and be pa-
tient with us until he returns.
After having received much as-
sistance from the re3t of the
staff, and after making a dili-
gent inquiry of most of the stu-
dents of the University, the
printer has at last informed
me that we have enough nevv3
for the columns in this issue.
It was good news to the writer,
and was welcomed gladly. The
Editor will be back at the old
stand next week witn plenty of
news for the next issue. *
There was a modern Freshman,
And he stoppeth a Grad of
Three:
"By they Freshman's beard and
Freshmen's eye,
Now wherefore stoppest thou
me?
"The Annex doors are open
wide,
And I am of lordly kin;
The grads must be there: ye
Freshman, bewEre!
For I must enter in."
He holds him, uith his Fresh-
man's hand:
"And Thou wast a Prep!"'
quoth he.
"Hold off! unhand me freshman
loon!"
"Dost think there is hepe for
me?"
He holds him with his Fresh-
man's eye;
The gradding guest stands still,
And listens like a two-year Pfep:
The Freshman hath his will.
—Silas.
IMPROVEMENT AT MOOD HALL.
This season has been more
than unusually procreant for
Dan Cupid. "In the spring"—
yes, you know, "a young man's
fancy lightly turns to thoughts
of love"—but!—be sure it turns
lightly." LOVE has more than
common dangers where profes-
sors abound and halls are few,
and—where the Spring!"fever"
has more victims than our meas-
les. Remember, too, that zeros,
like balloons, are inflated with
"hot air" and that like them
also, they bust. [But I will
drop the similie—some of us
may have been stung.] Re-
member again, the "doom of
June," which usually reads—
if Dan Cupid has his way about
it—"goodbye fancies "and^girl!
awake t6 $he stern reality of
flunks!" But lest Cupid, for
such treason, should forever
"flunk" us, "fancies" are what
we would banish. Fancy is'only
another word for laziness. No
Georgetown's cement side-
walks keep increasing rapidly,
and it is greatly improving the
looks of her streets, Prof, and
Mrs. Pegues, and the students
at Mood Hall have decided not
to let the University get behind
in this respect, so they have
joined the chorus, an'd the build-
ing of sidewalks has begun up
in this end of the city. This
was brought about by the show-
er of rain Monday evening. The
boys having decided that they
had joined hands and walked a
one by-one-scantling from the
University to Mood Hall long
enough, went down in their
pockets and dug up the money
for a walk. The work has be-
gun, and the walk will probably
be finished this week. This
walk not only adds to the con-
venience of Mood Hall students
but it is the first step toward a
great imprqvement to the Uni-
versity. It is too be hoped that
this good work will continue,
and that those who are interest-
ed in the University will not al-
low the work to stop until we
have a substantial walk at the
front of the University.
Miss Eula Mae Rollins will
give her Senior recital in Ex-
pression Saturday evening,
Apri 9, at eight o'clock. She
will be assisted by Mr. Heygood
Hendry, soloist and Mr. E. Mid
Westbrook. The program is
well chosen and diversified, and
ina ddition ta this Miss Rollins
will lend it the charm of her
personality. It will be more
than pleasure to hear the recital
and all are invited heartily to
come.
On next Monday -evening the
University Glee Club will give
its annual concert in the Uni-
versity Auditorium. The Glee
Club has been under regular
training under the direction of
Miss Boyer for 5several months,
and they are prepared with a
most excellent program. The
people of Qeorgetown know
what Miss Boyer does every year
wiih Scuthwestren's Glee Club,
and it is useless to try to com-
ment upon her fa'thful and
efficient work along this line.
And of course all the students
will be there. They can't
afford to miss it. Those who
fail to hear the Glee Club[aiego
ing to miss one of the"very best
entertainments that is given at
the University during the en-
tire school year.
As is the custom, the Glee
Club will leave Tuesday morn-
ing for a tour in Northern Tex-
as. The dates are scheduled as
follows: Rogers, Tuesday; Hills-
boro, Wednesday; Blooming
Grove, Thursday, Terrell, Fri-
day; Wo^fe City, Saturday and
Sunday Honey Grove, Monday;
Lewisville; Tuesday; Denton,
Wednseday; Alvarado,Thursday;
thence I ack to Georgetown
But everybody please remember
that they give their first enter-
tainment here on Monday even-
ing. Come one, come all and
let the boys show you what
they can do.
THE CANNING OF THE CAT.
Last Friday night shortly
after the light were turned off,
the inhabitants of Mood Hall
were startled from their dreams
by a most unearthly noise. Mc-
Kay, returning home late, met
the source of disturbance on
the st*p3, and had several gray
hairs scared out of his head.
Finally, this all-pitying New-
ton E. Keene, assisted by Prof.
Pegues, caught the object—a
cat with a tin can tied to his
tale and succeeded in liberating
the can. Then peace reigned
supreme.
Saturday evening, with the
court room crowded to the ut
most, Judge Mickle called the
court to order. Jones, Ussery,
Moore, Beal and Stark, all not-
ed preps, were charged of hav-
ing canned the cat. Dobie act-
ed as prosecuting attorney,
while Kelley ably defended the
prisoners. Owing to the in-
troduction of much perjured
evidence on the part of the de-
fense the prosecution won. The
jury assessed the penalty at
thirteen licks with the belt, per
prisoner. McHenry, as sheirff,
carried out the court's decision.
Thus for all violators of justice,
the laws of humanity and peace
—at Mood. Hall.
