Work on the Bronco has started
and with the added enrollment it
looks like a very successful year.

Faculty members are urged to have
their pictures mado Monday and Tues-
day afternoons from 1:30 to 4:00. This
will avoid a rush when class pictures
are being made. Now faculty pic-
tures are being made for the first
time in three years with tho now
additions to the faculty and becauso
some of the old faculty members wish
to face the camera anew. All faculty
members will have to have their pic-
tures made in order to have them in
tho 1935 Bronco.
All students that are interested in
working on the Bronco stnff meet
Tuesday afternoon at 1:30. No ex-
perience is necessary for a place on
tho staff.
Students are requested to turn snap-
shots of their friends or any kind of
pictures in to tho Bronco editor and
they will bo used in tho feature sec-
tion of tho book. Those that were
town representatives and rode in pa-
rades are especially urged to turn
snap-shots in.
The contract for the pictures was
let to Paramount studios; the engrav-
ing contract was let to Southwestern
engraving company; and the print-
ing under tho direction of Abilene
Printing company.
Good afternoon co-eds. At least
we hope it is a good afternoon and
will bo a good night becauso ddn't
forget that tonight on Parramoro
Field tho Cowboys will meet tho Sul
Ross Loboes and with your support
will be & good night becauso don't
up boys and carry off a date because
all the girls have their activity tick-
ets. It will be a Dutch date affair
and the girls can't help themselves.
All things como to him who dates.
Let's Hove a Special
From a pretty reliable source comes
tho report that a promising young
student calls for a girl at Mary Fran-
ces rides a taxi down to town and
dines in class motors out to the cir-
cusit was a fair little ole circus
and rides a taxi back to the hall. The
particulars of the case arc: this was
the first date the two had had with
each other; neither one was a fresh-
man; and the bill was a cool $6.00.
At that speed the financier may agree
with Scatter's idea that two can live
as cheaply as one.
Let's Have a Special
To night we will bo Introduced to
the new yell leaders. Members of the
' student body this is Tom Provence
head yell leader from tho senior class;
this is Fred Chisholm from Mineral
Wells who is the choice of tho junior

than little Stormy Shelton represent-
ing tho sophs. Classes congratula-
tions on your election; yell leaders
congratulations on your selection.
