Grumpy Reveals
Dorm Life With
Maniacal Matron
Even as I write this my eyes
dilate with horrow as frightful
thoughts spring into my mind of
what may be just behind me. My
tortured mind can no longer harbor
silently its tormenting thoughts.
Each day that dawns sees the
dormitory girls become more cow-
ed and pale. The person we live
in mortal fear of is our MATRON.
We know not at what minute
she will slip up behind us and
emitting a piercing shriek drop a
Hazard or a stinging scorpion down
our backs. Sometimes she will
only dowse our heads with water
and giggling gleefully tritip off
down the hall.
When we entertain our best be-
loveds in the parlor she will come
sliding down the bannister back-
wards in her night apparel and
announce that it is 10:30.
We dare not walk up stairs im-
mediately in front of her for she
will grab our ankles and cause us
to fall on our noses.
When our clothes are missing
or there are dead mice in our
beds we only sigh in submission
and say nothing; nor do we say
anything when we find Limburger
cheese smeared in all our shoes.
If there 1b salt in our face pow-
der or time bombs under our beds
we do not become angry with our
best friends for surely there is
also salt in their face powder and
time bombs beneath their beds.
Ah! but some day one of us will
go mad stark raving mad and
then the worm will turn!
CHAPEL ON SATURDAY
Here I sit in the depths of des-
pair While the smell of peach blos-
soms fill the outside air.
Tho the chapel speaker is one
unexcelled
Somehow my inner-self has re-
belled. Ah me! The futility of it all.
If I cut chapel I'm behind the
8-ball.
If I enter into this realm of
empty seats and vacant minds
A sudden-oh darn the speak-
er's stopped and I aint!
Dopey.
Old! He's so old he gets winded
playing chess!

DOMINOES BECOME WARPED
AFTER CROOKED GAME
By Sneezy
Climaxing a formal banquet and
dance held Wednesday in the beau-
tiful Blue Room of the White
House was a ceremony in which
Coach Shorty "One Trump" Ran-
som was given the undisputed
unadulterated and totally absolute
title of "Domino Champion of tha
D. B. C. Coaching Staff." "One-
Trump" wns presented with the
trophy a beautiful set of gold-
plated handsomely engraved dom-
inoes for his spectacular perform-
ance in a recent' tournament.
Ransom defeated Coach R. E.-
"Double Blank" Blair Tuesday
500 to 495 in the most thrilling
bout of the century at the high
school stadium. The contestants
vcre seated in the center of the
field in order that the 15000 spec-
tators might observe every play.
After tossing Ransom's double-
headed nickel to decide who would
shuffle first the battle began.
"One Trump" Ransom fell behind
in the opening shuffle when Blair
hid the double-five in bis shoes
producing the coveted domino at
the most critical time. Ransom
sensed an underhand trick but
failed to protest to Referee Bon-
nurd Lee because he held the
double-blank on the bottom of the
table with a wad of chewing gum.
Ransom surged ahead in the
fourth round when scorekeeper
Doug. Chrane became excited over
the game; and his hand shook so
much that he marked 50 points for
Ransom instead of 5. The pres-
sure was on. Blair had to come
through or else. They were sear-
ing the critical point. This game
either made or broke his reputa-
tion. Pull of determination and
fervor he resolved: Congress
shall have the power to fix maxi-
mum hours and minimum wages
for. ... no we're off there It
was something else. It really
doesn't matter though.
In the next cant Blair led off
with a 5-counter which Ransom
immediately picked up and bit to
see if it were real. Referee Lee
signaled to scorekeeper Chrane to
fine "One Trunin" for biting in a
clinch.
Climaxing the game was the
spectacular manner in which Ran-
som took the title. After Blair
had scored enough points practi-
cally to assure victory Ransom
blocked the game and refused to
play until finally Blair got mad and
quit. He rose from his seat mumb-
ling words under his breath.
"You got me Chum You got me"
he finally said. Ransom replied
quote "Gee tanks Pal." unquote.
In a statement to the press Ran-
som gave much of the credit for
his success to Prof. Hart his coach.
Hart is known in domino circles
of Brownwood and vicinity as a
"Shark" at the game.
