THE HANDOUT
Friday, .March 27, 1931.
Gleanings
This week I've tried to give this
column entirely to College Spirit and
some of the things that happen to
College students.
AS A FISH.
Eating in the swellest place
Watching every smiling face
Wonderin' what you're gonna buy
Pineapple salad or apple pie?
What kind of salad' did' yoti eat?
I hear the teacher now repeat,
"There's not one of you that is deaf,
Jit you eat banana it just means F."
When we had eft ten .our hearts con-
tent.
And our pofckets were badly bent,
Marched from the mezzanine in greyt
style.
Added then to the cashiers pile.
We found a street-car on the corner„
The conductor now must be the
mouther,
lie must tell the colored where to sit,
and they might
"w uc i:I uM t wen I.IIC vuiu
Yfhere 'are no signs
1 " forget.
It •! / ll ll'll
Each proprietor was not wise
And well learn it pays to advertise,
For evfcrj? fsign in the 'car was read,
"lodent cleans every tooth in your
head,"
"Boy Scoyt "Camp is an ideal place,"
"Use Ivory and keep a clean face,"
"First National wants to keep your
"money"
I'm saving my pennies, don't be
funny.
Then a Soph sent me up to the con-
ductor to meet.
Our conversation was really a treat,
lie knows 1'$. avFISII from TWC.
And he to Id me, that he wants me
J'Toiirie his" street-car everytime I can,
And I'm here to tell you I certainly
am!
Pcopl'e-ii'now^ what the donkey said,
" How he wiggled his ears, on his head.
Fifteen.rahs for the Sophomore
But Fish know how to yell Apple-
Core!
The Sophs "were glad to see the street-
car stop
,;KnU for the Fish from the car to.hop.
The conductor too, was glad to see
us ieave-
And the hostess sad to have to re-
ceive
Her eleven dozen yelling hyenas
.Seasoned vv'uh tabasco and pepp'er for
cavena!
We sincerely hope there will always
be
Enough 1'ish to make the Sophomores

SPORTSMANSHIP.
What is sportsmanship? The dic-
tionary defines it ®'as "fairness; par-
ticipation in sports; generosity in
spirit, especially in sports." I do not
believe* that these words explain ex-
actly what sportsmanship is. There
are several ways we can study this
. subject.
Does sportsmanship enter into every
phase-of life, or is it found only in
spores? I think it js a part of every
person's lit#. This shows that •
Sportsmanship should be shown in
the small things of life as well as in
outstanding events.
1 often wonder how one might at-
tain that high ideal that every good
sport should have. It must be at-
tained by a constant effort to ob-
serve the unwritten laws of sports-
manship. I call the high ideals that
should 1" prevalent in *Sj>OTt^ and
other. piiciscr of life, the unwritten
Jaws because 1 feel that almost all
good sports believe practically the
same things about what a good sport
should J e. Therefore, I think that
everyone should work to reach the
goal of good sportsmanship.
Some people have asked, "Who is a
good sport 7" Thi* is a hard ques-
tion to answer, because an individu-
al's sportsmanship is sometimes hard
to measure. Good sportsmanship is
not always shown by the person's *
ability tto be a leader, or to be promi-.
nent in activities. One who is a good
follower may be an equally good
sport. I think that a person who is
. interested in worth-while activities,
who is fair in all her work and with
her friends, and who strives to up-
hold the high ideals of life, is usually
a good sport.
S|x rtmanship is an ideal that ev-
et'y person should try to develop.
That one,, is a good spoilt is a com-"
pliment. This ideal is one that can
be improved and constantly made
more worth-while.
—Emma Lorice Anderson. '34.
ALWAYS SMILING.
Somebody smiled a beaming smile.
And echoed a jolly laugh, „
I know the world was solemn too
'Till you saw the' other half.
Always you're beaming in that smile,
When I meet you on the street,
I'm wondering if in your rod**. *
You treat yourself as sweet ?
—Flo retype Fermier '02.
ALL FOR AN.ODOR.
The moment. I entered the room that
, terrible odor attacked my sensitive
nostrils. Such an overwhelming odor!
I had expected one somewhat unpleas-
ant but nothing like that which I
was now inhaling. I was perfectly
unafraid until the njo merit I was
brought into that' terrible smelling
Poom. I "cannot describe exactly how
it .smelted; I only know that it was
almost unbeal^blq, ? After the first
rush of the odious scent had invaded
my lungs, fear unstrainedly possessed
me. 1 was frantic! I felt stifled, suf-
focated, smothered. I knew my death
was doomed to be one of asphyxia-
tion, which to me is a horrible death.
But the worst was yet to come. I
was immediately blindfolded, and my
hands and arms were securely clasped
by firm, strong hands. This destroy-
ed my powers of resistance. I became
perfectly submissive and subdued.
Even that terrible odor did not stir
my rebellion. After being blindfolded
I felt some sort of a mask being
placed over my mouth and nose. I
was frightened almost to numbness.
My tormentors were not satisfied
with having that odor jn the room;
they had to fill a m9Sk securely over
my nose and mouth; so, as to be sure
that not one" whiff of fresh afr would
be available to me. After holding my
breath a's long as I could I inhaled
deeply filling my lungs full of that
hideous ^as, for such it seemed to be.
Immediately I felt^ myself sinking,
swiftly sinking. At the same time I
heard a roar that drummed merciless-
ly and monotonously in my ears. But
within the roar and the falling com-
bined I was still unconscious of that
deathly odor, that*nauseating scent.
During that long ceaseless fall, that
created such ai^tmpty feeling in J&ie
. pit of my stomach, huge flying things
about the size of bats and similar to
scorpions in shape surrounded me.
They approached me in fury it seem-
ed, but none of them offered to sting
me! b
My fall soon took me through this
wave of bat-like scorpions. I passed
through those things as a raindrop
passes through waves of cold and hot ,
air, but only to find myself encoun-
tering a more terrible catastrophe. I
saw below me huge monsters floating
in space. They were belching forth
smoke and fire, and my sympathy and
pity flew back through the ages to-

that brave Anglo-Saxon liero, Beo-
wulf. How I wished for his bravery
and for his trusty sword and mighty
strength. Here was I, a helpless crea-
ture, floating down to the mercy of
those terrible dragons. "As a drop
of rain I passed through this sheet
of monsters nnharmed.
Right then, to my distress, I under-
stood my doom. I screamed back to-
the dragons to swallow me, but they
had disappeared.' I looked below and
saw my rocky grave compliantly
waiting the arrival its occupfflW I
featured the cruet' roeks relentlessly
tearing at my unprotected sides. "God
nave me from a death like this!" I
saw myself as a mass of human jelly
on these barren rocks. And straight
from these rocks seemed to be spew-
ing deadly gas of a most horrible
odor. Oh how I longed and hoped for
unconsciousness before I should hit'
the rockS and the source of that inde-
scribalftS scent.
Suddenly and mysteriously the
.changed, and all was pktal biack-
icss. rltnow nothing for several min-
lutes. Then I came to and realized my
'fall .had ceased. Something soft but
solid was supporting me.' I feared
to move lest I should begin falling
again. But curosity got the best of
me and I reached out my hand to see
what was supporting me. To my sur-
prise I fait a warm hand clasp mine.
I became motionless. The roaring had
ceased. The odor was gone! I sniff-
ed slightly, fearfully lest I should
smell it again. Instead I smelt the
fragrance of flowers. Soon things
began to be lighter, and I Ward a
kind voice ask me:
, "IIow do you feel?"
It was mother's voice. I remem-
bered everything now. I decided to
sleep, being doubly assured by thes^
words.
"Shv^s doing just fine. Mrs. Adams.
Don't worry about your daughter.
She'll be home in about three days.
Of course, the ether will make her
sick, but tonsilatomy is never a se-
rious operation you know."
—Evelyn Carter '34.
Ex-Student Pays
Tribute to Stout

(Continued'from Page 1)
my memory. The most beautiful
event to me, is the crowning of the
May Queen, when the senior girls
attendants marcj^ j.n. bpsy ftfjjl array
toward the throne, then at last ap-
p.^ irs Her Majesty, the Queen and
Dr. Stout with fitting ceremony
places upon her^ead the crown.
Then the Senior girls present the
Junior class, the blue-bonnet chain,
which is a symbol for all those ideals
and traditions which are* cherished
and handed down from year to year.
And I remember well the occasion of
the'-*Faculty Take-Off, .when for a
brief chapel period the Seniors and
Faculty exchange plac'es, thjg Seniors
displaying all the peculiarities and
i'ttfs.vnaerasics of the Faculty mem-
bers. I could mention many other
occasions, .but for lack of time.
. "In conclusion, let *ne say that the ,
esteem and admiration of studtnt
days for our College President is ra-
ther increased than diminished with
*
the lapse of years. With avWtfle wider
experience pn my part,*I am able to
more fully appreciate the true worth
of a man who has given his time, tal-
ents, the riches of his mind and wide
experience, his keen insight, to that
work which is tSo far reaching in its
influence, the education and the four-
fold development of young women. He
is the type of man to whotta we as
women may justly pay Jribute. It i3
my pleasure at this time to introduce
President H. E„ Stout of Texas Wom-
an's College."
