Hire and There
By IIIZZ HINES9
When folks really want to cheer
thcro is no doubt about tho Simfito
being present. The spirit was getting
Into the crowd at tho Inst rally so
lets nil get set for a suro enough
Bcsslon before tho T. C. U. gamo next
.week.
You can always bo wrong in mak-
ing predictions at long distance and
I might chango my opinion if I had
seen tho Miners in action but you
can take it from mo thoso said Pros-
pectors are going to bo repaid for the
last scoro they handed us.
And they tell mo tho boys aro
going to wear boots and cordueroys
right into the Border city.
To think that I Bhould boo three
men going to tho Bhow boforo tho
rally Thursday night And they hang
pictures.
N
Now that they have finally arrived
Caleb aay to come on down and get
yours. Simmons Seniors really set
the pace on this question of class
pants.
Nobody has suggested that S. U.
closo up for a couple of weeks wHlo
tho etudes take to tho cotton fields. I
Judge that Prof. Wells and tho law
class could pick enough in a week to
buy all tho girls in tho class a
hamburger.
Tho slicker business picked up dur
ing the past week however ono John
Bays ho was never ablo to pick ono up
and get away with it.
Of course you know that I want tho
SSR.
J Some fiend for figures might try
to determine how many miles' tho
Tartt brothers make up-and down
main street on Sunday: when tho
a cleaning business is not so pressing.
Every onco and a whilo you run
across a Freshman with high ambi-
tions but several seem to atipiro to
tho Senior Prexy. -
The press club plans to stage "a
comeback to gain the prestige the old
organization had. Staff members
from a.11 the publications will (be
called together next week for or-
ganization. And did you hear this one about tho
MP girls who developed a formula for
toenail polish preparation.
And do you think tho depression
has anything to do with tho SSR.
Jean Shackelford a Randolph trans-
fer is a new addition to the list of
campus attractions. LTB all right
but she ought to get along.
Some of theso days we are going to
give you the inside dope on the Fer-
guson Hall boys. Anyway tho presi
dent and vice president of Valhalla
are trying to get tho SSR.
After a couple more northers the
hall will be boasting ice water in
every suite.
Won't bo long till the Players will
bo starting work on the fall produc-
tion. For ono I am glad to see the
club putting on another good comedy.
Something ought to be done about
the way some of these town freshmen
are casting for those defenseless foot-
ball men.
General opinion seems to favor The
Spirit of Notre Dame as ono of the
best shows of the month. At tho
Paramount last time today.
"
And another: People who live in
glass houses should never live next
door lo a columnist.
Won't bo long now 'till tho campus
will resound to tho sqeek of Senior
cords. Yeah discords and deos cords
This Fayrel girl keeps ono man
pretty busy trying to keep up with
r her.
Our friends up at Tech had a little
hard luck while visiting the Dallas
fair last week. It seems that their
football squad got mixed up with a
tribe ef Haskell Indians that got their
scalps. They are sure enough going
to cut up when those Cowhands start
Branding them.
Well Belong and until next week
remember that wo havo to fight to
dehorn those frogs and wo have to
fight to bring that conference flag
to Simmons. Get tho spirit and we
can put it over.
