ANNEX ANTICS NO. II
.As yet you are not acquainted with
us, for an introduction we give the
' following names as the inmates of the
Annex:

Eugenia, Mattie B., Cleo, Mary Sue,
Ruby, Effie May, Ola Belle, Sara Lee,
_ Karon, Vencie, Modena, Flossa, Euth,
Floy, Dixie, Vivian (Chaperone), Lo-
raine, Sarah, Evelyn, Eila, Nettie,
Zella, Clarie, Leona, Marguerite, Ar-
dia, Charlie, Lurine, Ora, Frances,
Maasie.
Should you desire to call us, call
52. We do not have a telephone yet
but it is under construction.
Mr. and Mrs. Tate of Carbon came
by Thursday night for Effie May to
go to Dallas to attend the Fair. Effie
May has been raving for$i ever since
telling us of her rides on the merry-
go-round.
Miss Katie George Parker spent the
week-end with her sister, Elizabeth.
Katie George is teaching in Moran
this year.
> ■ Vencie Laney spent the week-end in
town with her sister, Mrs. G. 0. Fer-
guson.
Frances Sikes is rather worried
over her demerits, as the chaperones
were very liberal with them Saturday
. night. (?) For further information
see her..
What we can't understand is why
Flossa Tate leaves the dormitory
alone, then comes, back well escorted
11 ? ?
Misses Rilla Stigler and Dixie
Forster spent the week-end at home.
Eugenia West was a 'Senior House
. visitor Saturday night.
The "Annies" along with the
"Dumplings" enjoyed the first feast
of the year, given by Uncle and Mrs.
Moody.
We wonder why the girls with the
new coats throught it was so cold
Sunday night.
Leona Blackstoqk had as her guest
Sunday night some one from Gates-
ville. We do not know his name, but
he was with Bob Zeigler.
Loraine and Hesta spent the week-
end at their respective homes. As
usual, we wonder what calls these
girls home so often. This visit re-
sulted in a feast in room 55 after the
lights winked. Judging from the
smell it must have tasted good.
I Who said the Annex girls didn't
have pep. We have had. it all thd
while, but it seems that some one per-
sists in reminding us the we should
have more. We are for Tarleton 100
per cent. As most of the boys will be
gone next Friday we will be at the
' game stronger than ever. Team, we
are backing you.
Boys, why don't you. jar loose ? It
isn't so important, as you think, for
the/girls to study on Sunday night.
BAND NEWS
The band did rapid work when
Director D. G. Hunewell asked
whom did we want for chaplin.
The entire band rose in a body
and said Rev, S. B. Culpepper,
Rev. Culpepper has stuck to the
band through mud, storms, rain-
storms, windstorms, sarad storms,
electric storms, crowd storms and
"food storms." We have always
come out on top. He has proven
himself a real friend and with
his inspiration we will bring back
the bacon wihen time presents, it-
self.
The barnd will now play, "On Ye
Tarleton."
In English 301 a few days ago the
class was busy with capitalization and
punctuation. One sentence read some-
thing like this " stooping a little
in order not to ", etc. Miss
-Hewitt begin to^get hurried, so said
to the girl reciting: "You just start
stooping with a capital." And then
the laugh was on!

THE WAITERS WAIL
Ah, tis spring—the birdies sing,
and class bells ring!
Isn't it so? Never in the life

class bells, sounded off.
We were honored Friday night
at dinnei- by the presence of Dr.
Bizzell. We would like to see him
more often for we have something
extra.
Pep jarred loose in the dining
room the day before the game.
The boys, did a goose step, around
the tables, and the girls reeled off
some yells. Nothing is better than
real pep.
Lots of things happened to the

classiest thing was, the waiters
ate at the royal table. But no one
btit waiters were in the dining

lighted on his ear, you can't face

THE TOMCAT QUARTET
This is station I. C. 0., The Tom-
cat Quartet. We are gladthat our
number ihos increased to a trio,
as the head chainman, Matt Carr
returned from Dallas last week..
We are sorry that our number
has not increased to its usual
quartet. Dr. Butler, the family
physician, is. still in Dallas with
the Tarleton exhibit.
The Plowboy, Doyle , Williams,
spent the weel? end with home-
folks in Gxanbury, reporting *a nice
time, lots to eat and no sleep.j
Only two Cats remained at home
this week end, Judd and Matt,
(however they (numbered few at
the show Saturday night,
As Matt was passing a tennis
court the other day he heard some
one say, "Love forty!"
"Forty's too many for one man,"
says Matt.
As Matt and Bates' entered the
Fair grounds, Bates said, "Matt
I hate to throw my liicltel cigar
down." .
"So do I," said Matt, "suppose
we drop by the check room and
check them."
Doyle: "My dog can do every-
thing but talk," '
Judd: "Then the two of you
ought to do everything."
Butler informs us that he paid
a dollar for some tips oh the horse
races at the Fair. He received the
following information:
Horses to follow, hearse horses.
Horses to back, hobby horses.
Horses to put something on,
saw horse®.
Horses to let alone, race horses.
Our classes are coming and we
cannot wait.
Shut 'er down, Judd, or we're
sure to be late.
ECHOES FROM FORT JOHN
. "Who's gotta gun rod?"
"Where's my blitz?"
"Naw, I got Calculus yet."
"Ain't you studied English?
You nut don't you know nuthiri?"
We're not exactly .sure, but we
believe we got a suction with the
Captain. He called us out o'ranks
the other day and said some things
that made us wonder whether or
not they were complimentary.
Lee: "Nick how long'are you
going to be under that shower?"
Nickey: "Exactly six foot and
a half!" Blam! Blam!
Reid: "Is that supposed to be
me? I look like a gorilla here."
Mr. Baxley: "You're mistaken,
Massey, you picked up a mirror."
"Where is our darling boy to-
night?"
Oh, sad, sad is the original song
with that approximate John Hen-
ry—but sadder still, yea ten times
more—and strange/ would-it have
been in the fort Saturday might.
We wonder if Pobson was scared
or if he was just playing a joke
on the gang. We're a dense
bunch, we've gottai, admit it—and
sometimes we miss the joke. Af-
ter all, sleeping out-of-doors is
what we call "healthful exercise"
and won't hurt a fellow a bit—
not nearly so much as some "other
things" will—which we've read
about, , .
We may.not be the best looking
gentlemen in college but didja
notice how many we have in the
"crack" company? You notice the
word in CRACK, not cracked—•
that's none other than pure con-
centrated suction and ability. ,
Better watch us—we're hush-
ing.
A STUDY IN FEAR
Harold De Gools's dreams had been
troubled. There had been visions of
robbers who stabbed people and even
of persons who, in a state of despond-
ency took their own lives. Now he
silently lay on his humble cot. Sud-
denly a shaft of light pierced the
g-loomy darkness and the door swung'
softly open. A dark figure entered.
Harold, through half-closed eyes saw
that it was his roommate. With bated
breath he watched him steal over to
the dresser and pick up a glistening
object. Silently he watched him slink
from the room.
Harold, now fully awake, sat up. He
heard those muffled footsteps receding
down the hall, heard them tarn.in at
the bathroom door, A puzzled look
came over Harold's face. His brow
was wet with sweat and his hand
shook as he sought to steady himself.
Straining his ears, he heard the trickle
of water and a faint gurgle like the
death rattle of a bath tub. This was
too much. He trembled from head to
foot as the awful thought tortured
him. He opened his mouth, but fear
paralyzed his vocal chords. He strug-
gled. At last he found his voice.
"Jake," he called, "Jake." A death-
like silence followed.
"Jake!" he screamed, "are you sure
you have your-own toothbrush?"
BREAKING THE ICE
Jack McTavish was very shy.
When the went to his first dinner
party he made, frantic efforts to
begin a conversation with the girl
at his elbow, but it wasn't uintil
ten minutes had passed that he
managed to utter the opening
words:
"Does your brother like cheese?"
She turned to him with a smile
and said:
"I haven't got a brother."
Dead silence for another spell.
Then he said, "If—if you had a
brother, d'ye think he'd—he'd! like
cheese?" .
