MISS DUMPS TO MISS ANNEX
... Hello! is this Miss Annex? This is
Miss Dumps speaking—what did you
d£> last week?
"0, lots happened. The Horsemen
went 011 a swimming party Monday
night and took Evelyn Floyd, Evelyn
Wisdom and Eugenia West."
Yes, I remember, Lucia, Mabel and
Francis went. They said the water
was fine—also the eats.
"Bid you hear about the party the
Le Sans Souci pulled Friday night?
No? 0, yes. You see Margaret's sis-
ter, Charlotte, and Louise Driseoll
eame over from Hico that night so
Cecil and Evelyn entertained. They
served ice tea, sandwiches, potato
chips, olives, and ice cream. Gossip
was the amusement for the evening.
Are you going to Mineral Wells?
Ardis and Mary Nell left Sunday—
They are gonig to present the new
"Texas" song that a man in Strawn
composed—they are going to stay
till Thursday."
"I think the Dumps will be well
represented—Francis and Helen left
today and so did Maysia Dee and
Florence—I think more are going
later."
"Who do you know?"
"Lucia, Ellen and Steve, and by the
way have you seen Lucia's sister?
She eame in from Santa Anna Friday
night and found Lucia and Hesta
over in Evelyn's room eating. She's
going to stay over and go to Mineral
Wells with them.
"The weather turned off fine for
May fete didn't it? The Queen was
lovely."
Yes, we are all proud of Ruth. Her
father came over. Ruth and Kate
went back with him after the May
fete."
"We had a father over this week,
too. Eugenia's father came down
from Navasota to see her. Marjorie
Lord who is Mrs. Ernie Johnson now
came down Saturday from De Leon.
Then Hesta Brown and Eugenia went
home with Laraine to try out the new
Ford sedan that her parents have
given her for graduation. She's going
to bring it over for Senior week. You
had some visitors this week-end didn't
you?"
"Yes, Maynette's sister came to see
her and Miss Newton visited Mae Mc-
Kage."
"I guess you must have had a good
time while Miss McKinnty was at
home. But what on earth is all that
noise I've been hearing in your halls
lately?"
"That's just some of the g'irls who
are learning to skate, They are at it
early and late. Some of them get up
before six in the morning. The way
a few are limping around they suem
to need two pair."
"Well, I'll let you go."
"I'm g'lafl you called. Come over.
Good-bye."
"Good-bye."
There exists in this school, prob-
ably unknown to most people, a
club composed entirely of notables
(those of the fair sex). The per-
sons in this club are well known
people on the campus and in the
classrooms. Even the discipline
committee is well acquainted with
two of them.
Two are battalion sponsors, one
is a company and one is a platoon
sponsor. Two are on the annual
staff and this Co-ed edition of the
J-Tac has three members on it.
The secretary of the "T" associ-
ation and. secretary of the Ag-
gettes are among our membership.
Also you will find the ex-president
of the Baptist Sunday school.
Among the churches represented!
are the Christian, * Presbyterian,
Baptist, and Methodist. Although
occasional disputes arise, yet har-
mony is present always.
One of our members is the star
student of the conservatory. She
sings and plays constantly over
the radio and is always in demand.
Another was once the favorite in
the Foods department. (She .still
rates a little suction).
Two are engaged, although it
isn't perhaps publicly known.
Of course it is easy to guess the
name, of this .club if you- :have ever
heard it once but I doubt if you
could spell it. This club has not
indulged] in social activities up
till now but has concentrated its
efforts in securing a college edu-
cation. Now that that necessity
has lessened and is soon to cease,
on with the Les Sans Sauci.
HARD LUCK
A man in Stephensville could buy
a piece of canvas for ten dollars and
sell it for twenty.
That's business.
A man of France could buy a tube
of paint and paint the most famous
picture of the universe, worth thous-
ands of dollars.
That's art.
Henry Ford can take some tin, a
piece of wire and a screw and make
something that runs like a car.
That's genius.
John D. Rockefeller can take a
piece of paper; write his name on it
and make it worth millions.
That's luck.
The writer of this article can take
a piece of paper and write all over it
and it isn't worths cent. Gee!
That's tough.
The main reason why some peo-
ple get so much business is be-
cause they keep asking for it.
Yeh! that's true, but then the
main reason why some, one else
knows so much business is be-
cause he keeps asking about it,
(someone- else's you know.)
DID THE SHOE MAN SING
"LOVER OF MY SOUL?"
Troups of tradespeople who at-
tended a revival > meeting /being
held at Pratt, Kansas, at a special
business men's meeting were asked
to choose their own hymns, each
group standing and scinging its
choice.
The grocerds started with "Help
Somebody Today." Then followed
"Think on Thy Way" by the auto-
mobile men; "Sweater and Dear-
er," by the restaurant, hotel and
bakery fold; "Yield! Not to Temp-
tation," by the lawyers; "Wash
Me Whiter. than Snow," by the
"The Great physician,f't by the
doctors; "Does it Pay?" by the
bankers; "The Home Over There,"
by the real estate dealers and the
services closed with, "I Love to
Tell the Story" by the newspaper
men.

A WORTHWHILE GIRL
Any girl can be nice in a coupe
In a taxi they can all be jolly
But the girl worth while is the girl
who can smile
When -you're taking her home in a
trolley.
Who said Red Campbell had
ceased to care for blonds? He's
fonder of 'em than ever.
STAGGERING THOUGHT
Alton Ryan was watering flow-
eer^ in the Senior yard a few hot
afternoons ago when a young co-
ed passed; and said: "0-o-h Alton,
give me a bath—a shower I mean,"
she quickly amended.
When a clock goes fitfully no-
body trusts it. The successful
clock is one that keeps steadily on.
The same is true of a worker. Try
it and see!
Agee was trying to saddle a /
rather unruly mule, and finally
Butler asked: "Does the mule ever
kick you?"
Agee: "No but he sometimes!
kicks where I have just been."
Lee Hays: "I'd like to know
what's wrong with my reputation
here in Tarleton. Every time I get
back an English paper it has rep.
all over it."
