paint as well as the cfinirig room

Her cafeteria-fetyle breakfast is a
huge success. She has cannery the
cook and hired one who seems to
be most satisfying.
Kitchen changes for the future?
Looking side-wise, Mrs. Sims lifted
her eyebrows and replied, "I'd
rather not say anything about that
yet."

started Monday in day and night
shifts. A lump sum of $900, each
boy getting $15, is the tidy pay-
roll.
E. M. Bowman took the boys
who did not have a Social Security
number to the Electric Building
to get one.
The "employees" were excused
from, all classes; still, a few work-
ing.on the night shift found time
to„meet several of them.

materials for which had been gath-

ection of Sophomores.
The rally was conducted under
the capable leadership of these
four pepsters: Cathryn Naugle,
senior, Roaring Springs; Leon Mat-
this, junior, Fort Worth; Ralph
Utley, sophomore, Fort. Worth;
and June Cochran, freshman,

Cathryn Naugle and Ralph Utley

that Texas Wesleyan College can

vidually on this project a4Hd is urg-
ing all students having musical in-

Program Gives
Pep Before Rally
n ,, ■—
"On to victory" was the enthu-
siastic motif behind the combina-
tion benefit program and pep rally
held Thursday night at 8 o'clock
for the T.W.C. Rams. Lowell Rain-
water Was master of ceremonies
and presented a i novel program
made up of campus talent and out-
siders. Vocal solos and trios, piu-
^no hind violin duets, readings, a
comedy skit, members by the violin
quartet, and swing music wt>re fea-
tured. '
The following students took part
in the large jamboree type of en-
tertainment: Mary Frances Hark-
rider,. Melba Hejjuir" Bobbie Horn-
berg, Helen/fflcClanahan, May Ros-
enlund, Chadwick Vandervort, Oc-
tova Bow ere, Ralph Utley, Margret
Jobe, Iris Caraway, Leon Matthis,
and Red ,Minshew and his sage
brush incinerators. A 9-year-old
child sang "Ave Marie". Miss Eliz-
abeth Early played with the violin
quartet.
Dub King introduced all football
and basketball players, and each
man made a short pep talk con-
cerning the game to be played the
next night. Coach Miller also gave
a short talk.
A pep rally and bonfire were
held following the program.
Spell your name very, very
slowly' was the salutation extend-
ed to almost every freshman o*
the campus by the indignant soph-
omores as they unfastened their
belts in order to ftdminisjter a lask
j for every letter. WednesH{iy^_w$»i-
1 the beginning of a strenuous pro-
s''am of initiation Which the Sophs
will direct until the middle of the
next., semester when the tortured,
first-year class will acclaim a "Fish
Day" and make every possible ef-
fort to reverse the order of affairs.
Passengers on the Polytechnic
street cars and busses admitted
that they received their full be-
nefit of the fare for they were un-
exhaustedly entertained „by the
members of th.e^reshman class as
they paraded the aisles shaking the
hands of everyone on the cars and
introducing themselves as "Fisb
Jones," "Brown," or what" have
you, at the command of their up-
perclassmen. Even the halls of the
Administration ■ building loomed
with the color and savage-glamor
of an Indian war tribe because of
the predominance of the Fish in
red paint from head to toe.."
It. is hoped this friendly feud,
will create an everlasting* friend-
ship between .the two classes.- It
is evident that the lower ciassmea
will never forget the shoes they
have shined the errands they hav*
run, the flicks they have received;
and, by no means will they forget
the battle of wits to gain suprem-
acy.

Sophs Head Fish Tov
Pond Wednesday
Backed by the tradition that was
t i ,
started years and years ago—last
year, anyway—the sophomores led
the freshmen to the fish pond last
Wednesday afternoon and remind-
ed them rather emphatically that
cleanliness is next to godliness- -
or whatever it is.
The Hvearers of the green were
more than eager to replace old wat-
er with new and slightly resembled
their golden (?) kin by the time
their labors had terminated. Mary
Elizabeth Pidgeon (an active mem-
ber of the S.P.C.A.) fairly well
broke her crown—or vice versa—
in her avid efforts to rid the pond
of debris. She did it rather grace-
fully, however, and without much
injury to herself, a sprained toe
being the only casualty.
Ruth Hurley, lish from Jackson-
ville, Connie's little sister, immor-
talized herself in the eyes of the
freshmen and made for herself a
permanent throne of honor in their
midst, when she led the ranks of
the fish in a rebellion against a
certain young woman, chairman of
the initiation committee, who has
made life miserable for the fresh-
men for the past week, and whose
initials are L. P. (can't you guess?)
Reports differ on what actually
happened—some say (the. sopho-
mores) that Ruth merely doused
the honorable chairman with a
bucket of H20, while others (the
fish) say Ruthie pushed her in the
coup (the lish pond). Mary Anna
Hudson, too, was the recipient of
a few drops of sparkling dew.
Their boldness was shortlived,
however, and expressions of cha-
grin soon graced their counten-
ances as they completed their noble
task, because—well, sophomores
are sophomores and fish are—
slimes.
Dean Name Students
In Election Today
^Oitudent body election is being
held htis mofningk-^rom 10:00 o'-

ed after the Rambler went to

' *v
in order to fill her vacancy as
treasurer,. It was necessary to call
an election.
Freshmen votes will count only
one half a vote, while to her stu-
dents will get one vote.
Crouch Says Registra-
tion Less Work
This Year
Registration has been made easi-
er .this year and much faster by
the hearty cooperation of the en-
tire faculty,., stated Paul Crouch,
registrar, Saturday.
"All have willingly lent a hand
where it was needed. I sincerely
extend thanks and appreciation for
their willingness to enter whole-
heartedly into the regist ratio*
work," Mr. Crouch said.
"It is very surprising," he als#
stated, "and also very pleasing the
way our entire student body has
entered into every suggested activ-
ity this fall. I believe that this
college has never had a better
group of young men and women
,lhan this year's student^, body.
•Members of the Freshman class,
especially, have shown their colors
and made them brilliant."
Juniors Eiect Matthis
Yell Leader
Leon Matthis was elected yell
leader of the Junior class at a
meeting, Wednesday, when John A.
Harrington resigned from that '
position.
Regular meetings will be held
each Wednesday morning at 10:00
fclock, and a definite place to

nounced Andy Minshew, president.

Willie Returns Home
After Summer on Ranch
After a delightful three-months
vacation on a ranch in Grandvlew,
Texas, Willie the Rhm returned to
the campus of T.W.C. to resume his
activities. Dick Morris,, a T. W.
C. student, cared for , Willie
during his vacation.
Willie spent the first night after
his return in the swimming pool.
It looked quite natural Thursday
to see the upper-classmen bringing
food delicacies to this famous char-
acter. But the scene was hilarious
when a freshman met Willie for
the first time. We hall you, Wil-
lie!
