Dump Girls Bury Whoopee, Rhapsodical
Son of Mom Boisterous and Dad Demerit
After flunking two tests, I do not
feel bo hot on spreading' the slams
and slush this week, but here goes.
Greater love hath no man than
to grow a beard for his football
team. Mustache and whiskers, is
the theme song of the men now.
Why not make the women realize
that the cave-men are not all dead.
That also reminds me, why not
have a new deal and make the wo-
men pay the way as some of the
guys are realizing- the monotony of
the old system.
Some would like to repeat last
Sunday night.
Pat Walker White, better known
as Billy, has been up to a little
plumbing job, quite a bit. Kathleen
Moss seems to like it, so it seems.
It happened to me one time and it
can happen to you.
Baxter seems to be making a
good start, three nights in a row,
and out.
If I were not afraid to, I would
tell some guy I know, to tell his
femine how the cow ate the cab-
bage. Providing of course she did
me that way.
Well, we found out that beauty
was" only skin deep, when the girls
came out from behind their dis-
guise.
Watch your step, Marion Lucille.
The Sons of Tarleton Society
made known that they intend to
be 100 per cent at Grubbs, if it
costs a lawsuit in some place.
Good ol' Mary Chandler is caus-
ing two roommates to look side-
ways at one another because of be-
stowed affections. Carter and Grif-
fin, you lads must not fight.
Tullus Smith of the College
Store is slipping in his hold on
some of the women, so it seems.
Some of us, but not many, can
remember Way back when Herman
Allen was called "Suck."
Yours,
The Gentleman at the Keyhole.
The Schreiner Institute appoint-
ments of officers and non-coms for
the year are finished.

SATE—CONVENIENT
FRED WINN
The last sad rites werft held
Monday night in the upstairs hall
of the new annex in the girls' dor-
mitory for one of the most beloved
individuals on the campus. Father
Funny-face officiated at the touch-
ing ceremony. Weeping Willie ren-
dered a solemn vocal solo "School
Daze," while the sorrowing friends
and relatives grieved over the loss
of this popular individual.
Whoopeu met his untimely death
in a clash between the Spirit of
Youth and the Purple Book, a con-
flict which, though it has been in
progress for years, has never been
regarded seriously before this time
at which our beloved brother fell
a victim of this disaster.
The friends and relatives of this
dearly beloved gathered at the
cross-aisles of the hall, and, dress-
ed in solemn black and with bowed
heads, listened to the glowing trib-
ute to this highly esteemed com-
rade of college students. Father
Funny-face took his text from
Thomas, Manchester, and Scott's
"Composition for College Stud-
ents" Chapter IX, Parts Four
through Six. So beautiful was this
tribute to our dear friend that we
repeat it here that all those loved
ones who were unable to attend the
funeral may know with what high
regard he was held in life and
what sincere sorrow his passing
brings to our hearts.
"Friends, we have gathered in
the hall of the rowdy for a very
solemn and mournful rite: To bid
our mutual friend Whoopee, fare-
well, As you know, this faithful
friend went West some two hours
ago. Whoopee is gone but not for-
gotten.
"He was the offspring of a very
unhappy marriage. His Mater
was Spinster Uncouth and his Pa-
ter was Bachelor Boisterous. He
was ushered into the world by
Doctor Demerit and his nurse was
Shhhush! He grew bigger and big-
ger and bolder overnight, until too
much night life got him. Like a
bolt of lightning he was struck and
torn asunder. A writ is posted on
the bulletin board at the entrance
of the tombstone—the Administra-
tion building — where all well-
meaning students lose life and ani-
mation.
"Let us incline our craniums for
one last tribute to Whoopee. For-
give him and his effects for he
knew not what he did. Pap Davis,
forgive this wicked son of John's
Institution, for he knew not \vhat
he did or of what he was guilty.
Take to thy bosom and comfort our
late friend, Whoopee. If thou wilt
remove all our sins and demerits,
we shall strive in the future to
grow more like thou wouldst have
us be. Amen."
1 The deceased is survived by one
sister, Miss Quiet Hour. The chief
mourner at the funeral was Sister
Mercy Me. Active and honorary
pallbearers were Moaning McAu-
liff, Brokenhearted Bowers, Jumpy
Jones, and Dippy Denman.
As the last sad words, "We will
pass slowly and gaze upon the
tragic remains of our dearly be-
loved palsy walsy," were uttered
by Father Funny-face, the sorrow-
ing friends filed slowly past the
mortal remains of Whoopee, asleep
in sweet repose in the downy ward-
robe which formed his distinctive
casket. So deejlly touched were
they by this scene that they were
unable to restrain their emotions
as each paused for a final gaze up-
on that familiar brown, clear-cut
countenance which added so much
spirit to college functions, and
which is to be seen no more in the
dormitory. No one can ever take
the place of Whoopee in our hearts
but we are willing to give Miss
Quiet Hour a fair trial, hoping
that she may in portion fill this
vacancy. H.S.

Will we have spirit, pep, and
loyalty? We will! With all the
flowing beards and shining faces
we should be able to show those
Grubbs boys that we are backing
our team to the very last whistle.
Come on gang, show them what
you've got, and back the team that
will win!
Even with a week, the boys can't
compare with Professor Garrett's
start. He has them all fixed up.
And the secret of his success is—
Ralph Parmley certainly has the
S. A. He can be seen any time of
the day or night (?) with a certain
girl named AYERS.
Will everyone get together and
decide just how much dirt should
be put in this paper? We have
heard plenty about scandal sheets,
but we haven't been able to find
any scandal in this paper so far.
There are some students «no
haven't decided w settle down to a
quiet little life here, and just keep
changing boy friends every week.
We just wonder from pure curios-
ity what boy Betty Gilbert will fin-
ally end up with. Jim Cage cer-
tainly seemed to have fallen, but
we heard that dear little Betty had
been outing with other boys since
she procured a huge picture of a
certain (the same) Rumbo.
Briggs and his faithful, Sharer
and his, and several others, we
' t *
could go on naming persons into
the wee small hours, but we will
stop here and tell you some more
scandal.
We think A. D. Livingston has
the S. A. with a sweet warbler.
Well, we think he has been think-
ing about falling in love for some
time. We are glad he has at last
made up his mind.
Shirley Williamson has not been
going with the same boy she start-
ed out with. Why the sudden
change? But no, it's started all ov-
er again.
Who is running the Fort? We
wonder how long it will last?
Could anyone tell us just who
Roscoe Thompson is so desperately
in love with? Girls, here's your
chance. If you can catch Tommy, do
so. He's well worth anyone's trial,
but just a trifle timid, so go slowly.
He likes a certain person in Dallas,
we have been told.
Mercile has learned to salute.
Maybe she hasn't the salute down
correctly, hut she has stopped ask-
ing every cadet she meets about
the correct manner in which to ad-
dress an officer. Maybe the thrill is
over, who knows?
Elizabeth Shaffer has one of the
queerest laughs in the Dump. Won-
der if it's just conceit, or what?
We hope not.
Charlsie Ellis has been switching
dates again, but we were told that
she really likes old Jimmy. We see
her with Jack Butler quite often
also.
Someone said that Clarice Jones
was pretty. We think she's beauti-
ful.
Everyone should get his picture
made. We need material to start
on the annual. Hurry, everybody,
and have it done before Thanks-
giving.
Girls, don't get slack with your
Wednesday Weaknesses, We want
to know every girl on this campus
before Christmas.
Big Boy and Little Beautiful—
Oltie Little and Lily Barbato.
Talk about these strong, silent
men! Morris Nicholas has them all
beaten in how to handle women.
We hear he has been going with
the same girl since school began.
Blonde St. Clair and Brunette
Holder are well contrasted with
each other.
Pack i till thinks the sun rises
and sets around him. Perhaps there
wil he an eclipse soon.
How about some more all-around
get-togethers? We would like for
more gills and boys to know each
other.
Girls! Stop! Look! Listen! Fa-
miliarity breeds attempt!—The
Bat.

William Black and James Du-
puy are very bashful in this man-
ner of talking to th§ young ladies
of the college. They round up a
couple of freshmen, and asked
them to gather some flowers. Af-
ter the flowers had been gathered
the freshmen then had to take
thm to Miss Vivian Hammack.
Black made a date with his girl
friend for the T.C.U.-Aggie game
over in Fort Worth. He dashed ov-
er all so nice and bright. Every-
thing was all right except that the
young lady had her sister along.
Perhaps two are better than one,
but Black did not think so. Just
such a short visit over there cost
him almost ten dollars.
Lee Atkins swiped a picture of
Kathleen Moss, and some one swip-
ed it from him. You see, Atkins is
very deeply in love with the pic-
ture and no less with the girl; al-
though she knows nothing of it. He
would give a lot for the return of
that picture.
Fish Hagler is certainly rating
the lowest among the freshmen
this year because he is not a per-
son of sporting blood.
Jack Blakeney rated sergeant,
and he was so excited over his rat-
ing that he made a serious mistake.
He went to drill the following drill
day with his stripes sewed on up-
side down.
Fish Willard Pool learned the
address of a fair young dame over
in Waco. Thinking that the Tarle-
ton girls are not all right, he writ-
es to her. Poo] has only seen her
picture, but she has not seen his.
He promised her that he would
send her one of his pictures as soon
as he had some made. Maybe that
was just another campaign prom-
ise. Pool is trying his best to keep
this a secret, so no one must tell
him about this getting out.
Martha Gain cuts her hair.
By the way, have you heard Ma-
jor Miller's new name? It is "Kit-
ty," according to some Dump girl.
How is Viggo Miller getting
along with his light housekeeping
these days?
A boy thrust his hand into his
pockets and walked away in a very
disgusted manner. He was mum-
bling something about what he was
going to do. He was asked what
was the matter. He said, "My girl
has gone NRA. She has cut my
dates down to one-third, and has
taken two other guys."
Quite a few girls in the Dump
do not realize how much worry
they cause their hall-chaperon.
Sometimes needless blame is plac-
ed on the chaperon when perhaps
she knows nothing of what has
happened.
Louis Murdock was going to the
Fort to his English class when a
girl grabbed his arm and turned
him around. She looked at him
■and said, "Let me look at you. You
have your hail* combed today, how
come?" Nap looked a little surpris-
ed and told her that he combed it
once in a great while. He is cer-
tainly wondering why all of the
lady-folks are asking him this
same question, and he did not know
who this one was that stopped him.
Gage grinned to himself and said
$ GLANCING AROUND +

$ By A. BOOK WORM +
out loud, "Now, Miss Boyd is not
beautiful, but what a great sport
she is." He intended to grin out
loud and think to himself.
Marjorie Griffin, student of last
year, spent the week-end here in
Tarleton and it nearly complicat-
ed things. Things finally worked
out for the best.
Fish Elliott finally broke away
and went with Miss Mayfield last
Sunday evening. Elliott is better
known as Earl or Buster Crabbe,
because of his great strength.
Austin sefems to get very jealous
every time a certain girl thinks
about anyone else, but he has no
thought of how they think of him.
Who was the popular boy who
was stood up by his town girl last
Saturday and Sunday night?
Martha Keith thought that if you
used a book more than five times
you had to pay rent on it.
And speaking of paying—the li-
brary is really going to get rich
from fines if some of those long-
missing volumes don't come in soon
Have you noticed the interesting
display of new books on the table
in the library? They include selec-
tions from such famous writers as
Pearl S. Buck, Louis Bromfield, Ol-
iver La Farge, Rebecca West, and
Booth Tarkington.
The Senior English students ad-
mit that Shakespeare was a great
man, but they wish he hadn't writ-
ten so much literature to be stud-
ied. He seems to be the downfall of
many ambitious students who are
seeking good grades in English.
A curious freshman wants to
know why the library has so many
copies of one issue of the Atlantic
Monthly. Oh, he'll find out!
The view of the campus from the
library windows is beautiful at this
time of the year. The trees sur-
rounding the Dean's home are a
glorious mixtures of reds, browns,
yellows, and greens. The squirrels
give a rustic atmosphere to the
scene. "Ain't nature g-rand."
