Qet ready for a real Homecoming!
Hnrrr Hayes who is really an old
hand ar.und the ranch-house says
that things are In a terrific brew for
Homecoming November 14.
We could use more of gossip's val
uable space but this much is NOT
wasted.
People who have Just a little bald
spot coming in the Hops of their
heads like Profs. Ribble and Landers
remember well infact too well one
Mr. Noll Sewell. Back nearly a de-
cade ago Mr. Sewell was just enter-
ing the stately portals of then Sim-
nona U. Unknown and unsung he
came but it wasn't a week until the
office was dragging him up on the
carpet as regularly as quiet hour
bell rang at M. F. H.
But Sewell later known as the
original "Billy Boy" marked himself
from the first as the WORST. Some-
how he stayed on through six years
of college legend tells us always on
the brink of suspension and always
just a notch ahead of an irate faculty.
Today "Billy Boy" is a full-fledged
state legislator but some say the
man has not 'changed much with time
or dignity of office.
In the mail this week is a request
for Billy Boy's presence at Home-
coming. If and when he comes we
predict-j-present-dny students will
see their first real pep rally.
Not since 1930-'31 has H. P. C.
been properly laid away in a pep rally
funeral.
The night of Friday November 13
will indeed see a pep rally worth go-
ing on radio if just a few good
things work out.
Nature got her signals mixed
that's the only way aane people can
figure out "athletic" Bonnie and
"beautiful" Dick the Gabler hybrids.
Every now and then in the course
of getting a college education one
sees little things that had all the
touches of genuine pathos. Such was
little Sammy Guthriage corraled by
his three vicious admirers and doing
his best to be man to all three.
If getting over depended on stick-
lag around then John Pierce should
be doing well with Vida Connor.
Slime Edgar Bingham always
smiles but it's an car to ear af-
fair since he walked along a dark
street with Mary Lou Ashburn
the other night.

Are Caught
Eight Have Been Nominated
To Run In Annual

Campus political factions were
caught unprepared for traditlonnl
November battlo when reference to
the student constitution Into Thurs-
day revealed that the nnnunl election
of university queen "must" bo held
next Tuesday at tho regular chapel
period.
Eight campus beauties have been
nominated by popular petition nnd

ed honor. Girls to be voted on Tucs-
dny nro Mildred Burnett Munday

Abilene Lucile Murchlson Wichita
Falls Norma Sue Tippen Abilene
nnd Inez Morris Abilene.
The annual election of tho campus
royalty is at hand with somewhat of
a surprise to the politlcing moguls of
the university. Heated campaign
scheming which usually precedes the
annual election of the queen has
been amiss this season and the mass
student populace is expected to cast
a deciding ballot unaffected by the
usual high pressure campaigning and
"dark-corner" collusions.
Winner of tho election next week
will be coronated later this year and
her picture will occupy the feature
position in the beauty section of the
1937 yearbook publication "Tho
Bronco."
Included on the official ballot for
Tuesday's election according to Theo
Rigsby president of the student as
sembly will be the nominees for the
office of student secretary. This spe-
cial election is necessary to fill the
vacancy left on tho student council
when Mrs. Maxine Junell chosen in
the regular election last spring
moved to El Paso.
Nominations for the secretary's of-
fice included Doris Cassle Abilene'
patty Hnmks Abilene Bonita Mc-
Gahcy Harlingen Joy Pender Mil-
dred Jenkens and Flo Caldwell all
of Abilene.

by the committee of election judges
composed of the president of the stu-
dent assembly secretary and dean
of students and the necessary run-
off elections will be announced later
next week.

day in the month of November."
