IN older days
THE cave men used to
SETTLE any family
QUARRELS with their clubs.
TODAY, married men
DESIRING peace
AND contentment
STILL resort to their
CLUBS.
WHICH shows that
TIMES haven’t
CHANGED two bits.

Summer girls, summer roses,
Summer curls, summer poses,
Summer bleaches, summer’s hot,
Some are peaches, some are not.
A freshman said he now understood
why the prof made them spread out
one seat apart. He said that seat in
between them was to spread books and
notes on.
A prominent member of the senior
class said the Darwinian Theory was
all monkey business.
Roommate: “I set the alarm clock
for eight, Bill.”
Ditto: (sleepily) “Eight! My Gawd,
where are they going to sleep?”
After all, what would a college come
to if it weren’t for the Freshmen?
Otoe of our Professor friends says
even if his lectures are dry, he had
nothing to do with persuading Volstead
in his amendment'.
“Son, how often do I have to tell you
that it is bad manners to dip your bread
in the gravy?”
“Yes, father, but it is good taste.”
Girls.
Didja ever go to the library—sit
down—stick your gum under the table
—study a while—prepare to leave—
grab your gum and chew it madly—
go home and recall that the gum you
had was Wrigley’s while that which
you was chewing is Beechnut; didja?
Didja ever go to the theatre with a
boy on a cold night—come out almost
famished—he asks you if you’re hun-
gry—you answer “yes” meekly, and he
says, “Well, here, have a life saver;”

There’s many a kid who aims at tel-

shot.
Laugh and they all laugh without you
Weep and he will call you his own,
Slap him for his affections,
Then you’ll know you’ve pulled a bone.

students of the College by sending mes-

J. E. Hodge, operator of station SAJO,
has been doing considerable amateur
work all over the state and would be
glad to handle any messages to stu-
dents’ home towns. If you have a
younger brother who is interested in
wireless give his name to Mr. Hodge
and he will endeavor to get in touch
with him. If you want to surprise the
home folks, make known some operator
in your town and the unique communi-
cation will be made. He has a half
K. W. transmitter and it will work all
points in this state. This opportunity
will not cost the students anything and
the operator will be glad to accomo-
date you. Give him the required in-
formation and see if he can acoemplish
what he claims. Let him prove it.

The new term has started with a
substantial increase in attendance of
about one hundred. Among the new
students faces are seen some of the
old lights of former years. Terry Low-
man would be out of luck if he was
here this summer.
Badger said he was supposed to be
a self made man. I wonder why he
knocked off work so soon.
Somebody in English 117 thought
Canterbury was some kind of lady that
couldn’t be buried.
Blistered feet, sore muscles, sun-
burned arms and faces, demolished
shoes, are some of the results of the
hike to Wimberly which was indulged
in last Monday morning by some of
the more feeble minded members of
the student body of S. W. T. T. C.
Seven students, only one of them be-
ing a boy, left San Marcos Monday
morning at four-twenty, and arrived,
after many hardships, at Wimberly at
nine thirty the same morning. The
Blanco River was a mecca to the tired,
dusty, swollen, sore and bleeding feet
of the hikers.
Not a one of the bunch would have
missed the trip—just ask them. They
are still undaunted.

AN
INVITATION
TO SCHOOL WORKERS
Dear Friend:
The School Masters’ Club met for
the second time last Friday evening.
Like the first, the meeting was a de-
cided success in every way. Those
present enjoyed a treat in the talk
given by our former Dean, Mr. Bird-
well. The general topic to which he
talked was “Selling the School to the
Community”. Mr. Birdwell’s speech
was full of helpful suggestions as well
as inspirations. Those who missed it
have something to regret.
We are promised another treat for
this coming Friday evening, July 20t’n
Dr. Horn, president of Southwestern
University at Georgetown, will be with
us. Dr. Horn is a very forceful spea-
ker. lie is a pioneer in Texas educa
tion. tie has a keen and sympathetic
understanding of school problems and
conditions. His message will be in-
structive as well as inspirational.
Let's give Dr. Horn a good audience
Remember the time, 6:45 p. m.; place,
