have been received nomit»ating Frances

Blush" club.
Boaz Hall. Residents of Boaz Hall have
been wondering who that mysterious person
(Soph) is that has the habit of osculating
with a certain girl (FISH) under yon por-

the way that fish are sometimes hooked.

Who are the most prominent students on the Texas
Wesleyan campus today, and every day?—The Fresh-
men of '42. One can always distinguish a Freshman
by his (or her) peppy spirit, green flsh cap, his walk-
ing on anything but the sidewalk, and always Smiling.
The Freshmen girls are still th£ most beautiful
girls on the campus even thpugh they were reqijggted
by the Sophomores not to wear makp-up, and no hose
or dainty slippers. Have you noticed the most hand-
some boys are none other than; the Ereshmen gentle-
men? What would this collegle do without them? The
girls, as well as the boys, are a very intellectual class.
The happy spirit would be lax without the class of '42.

Science comes through with the answer
to the old age question of why gentlemen

In the far-off Isle of Erin,
'Mid the living fields of green,
Grows the clover of St. Patrick,
Telling where his steps have been. '
As each year the shamrock'- blossoms,
It recalls the tale of yore, „
Tells the story of a mission
To a, hostile, heathen shore;
Spring returns with vernal sheen,
Nature doffs her robe of ermine,
For the wearing of green.
Every country has its saint, this being something that
is called tradition. No one knows whose care the
saint is supposed to be under and the remarkable thing
is that the saint lived so long ago that no one knows
when or where they were born.. . So it is with the
Irish people, they know not whether he was born in
Scotland or in a country known as Armoric Gaul.
St. Patrick was taken captive when he was about
sixteen years of age, this was in the year of about
403, and conveyed to Ireland and sold as a slave to
one Milcho. St. Patrick was the first to be successful
in carrying Christianity to the Irish. *
He was beloved by the Irish people and It would be
hard to find a patron saint any better loved by the
people than St. Patrick.
So, when the Irish people don their shamrocks for
St, Patrick's day it will be with this love in their
hearts for this saint.
I sneezed a sneeze into the air;
It fell to the earth, I know not where;
But hard and cold were the looks of those
In whose vicinity I snoze.

Death for 1 In 20.
The next time that you meet with some club or
t group where there ai;^,twenty of your friends^present,
shake hands with all of, them because one of the twen-
-ty^will be killed in the next five years in an automo-
bile accident.
Or list 20 of your friends or relatives. In five
years you can strike one name off of the list.
These figures are based on the law or averages and
are published by an insurance company for the sole
purpose of letting the people know how careless driv-
ing and unsafe conditions tend to destroy.
"Well," asks John Public, "What can I do to stop the
mounting figure?" ,
The answer is simple .... be ABOVE AVERAGE
and escape the law. Being "above average" means
that you and the group will obey all the traffic regula-
tions and use your head. (Play safe in driving and
walking. The largest group of "death accidents" last
year were those between- the automobile and the pe-
destrian, with the total per cent of all those killed in
this manner being 41.7.
The automobile manufacturers are, in a way, re-
sponsible for a great many dealths. They have given
us a mftsljlne, faster year by year, that is too far ad-
vances'o r'the average person's management.
To quote from a recent publication of safe driving—
the first automobiles were called "Lizzie" or "Henry"
and were noisy, likeable, and human. Present cars
resemble Jeeves, the butler. They are "so inhumanly
perfect and quiet!"
. We watch the speedometer—There is much more
dlffeernce between 45 and 55 than 35 and 45. The
danger element is twice as great ( yet the meter shows
4>nly the same space between the speeds.
Speed might go with brains, but certainly not vyith-

PROFANITY
Profanity is used by poor talekrs to fill
in blanks in their convesration when tfieir
brains ar emissing fire. By using it a man
can talk for ho\rs to his own satisfaction
and to the utter disgust of those who hear
him. Unfortunately, he seldom sees the
real effect of its use. Men whose mental
cylinders are free of carbon don't use pro-
fanity.

To one who deserves our sine. i\
one of the best class preside nt a \
Wc; Hi.' !
There was a little girl,
And she had a little smile;
She sent it to a little boy
Across a little aisle.
He wrote a little note.
But he made a little slip,
And they both went together on a
little trip. ■ ^ - * **
—The Bison.
Dear Pops: - ..
I hate to bother you with such trivialities,
but I need advice. Somebody stole the
girl friend I had. Wouldn't you know it—
He's a tall, blond football player. My room-
mate said that all the females fall for him.
Darn the luck. How can I tell her that he
will soon forget her- How can I show her
that he is just another guy?
By the way, the new girl friend is getting
expensive. (Get the hint. It was sort of
subtle). We boys only get one night a
week out of the dorm, but she's still ex-
pensive. She's a pledge to some sorority.
(Don't know which one), but we are going
to a dance next Saturday p. m. Her club
is slinging it. You know—I rather fttirik
she likes me; she calls me Ftedsie-Wedsie.
Whoops—.
Pop—I'm in a bad way in English. AH
my theme grades are between "B" and "A".
The catch is a test grade—20.
These Sophs are sur£ nice." They allow
me to carry out all their waste paper bas-
kets. They pay me to do it for "them. 1
get on®- package of- fresh garlic a week.
They raised my'wages the other day—I now
receive one quart of minetyl* water per
week, plus an extra'(sqyart for "service will
rendered.""
Sorry, but ,I've gotta go now." Please be
sure to send the expense dough. Say, a
thought just struck me. How's about put-
tin' a lump sum on an account for me, or
better ,yet, let me send you a gyp sheet
every month? Either's O. K. by me. So
long for this week. / j
Your loving son,,, (ambitious too).

Look at the crowd approaching the gate,
Pushing and shoving-they just can't wait;
• With money in their hands and a ■milt'
that's gay, - „
Why, haven't you heard, It's Rodeo Day!
When onc£ through the gate, the fun be-
gins,
There's a side-show with freaks and the
Siamese twins;
There's hot dogs and cream and games to
play—
There's nothing in the world like Rodeo
Day.
Look close now, it's beginning to start;
The cowboys are racing in two-wheel carts;
With a whoop and a yell—gee! it's hard to
say
Who's to be the winne ron Rodeo Day.
There's a cowboy on a horse, he's chasing
a steer,
He's roped him now—hope he fails clear—
Yep! he's safe—I'll venture to say—
It's hard going for the steers dh Rodeo
■ Day.

Just Thinking
When the last act is over and the hour's
growing late,
A joyful and happy throng walks slowly
p^rthe gate;
All have had a lovely time, with fun and
mirth an play;
It'll be hard to wait another, year for
Rodeo Day!

Sailing or Drifting
Are we sailing or drifting like a boat at
sea? - "*
Tljat. leisurely drifts ove rthe billowing
lea.
Or is there a capte^n who watches and f A
knows? - ■*
And mans our boat wherever .it goes.
Is our boat of life worthy of the seas?
On which it sails so lustily in the breeze.
Is our compass set for the land of God?
In the land where drifters seldom trod.
So set your sails to hold you in the course
of strife. •"
And with Christ as your pilot and Heaven
your port.
May you reach your blessed harbor of com-
fort. ,.

School Spirit
AS I WAS walking
In the hall one day
I SAW'a boy
WHO WAS in a hurry
HE WAS running and yelling.
THIS BOY as one could see,
PROBABLY hurried at everything.
AS HE did at this.
A LOT of fuss and. muss
AND NOT getting anything done.
HE IS like others
WHO RUSH through life
AS THEY started when young.
IT IS all right to hurry
IF NOTHING is slighted,
BUT TO hurry aimlessly
OFTEN means failure
SO, IF YOU can't hurry
WITHOUT slighting something
THEN go slowly.
I THANK you. —Parrakeet.

The Preface
Turn each page and cast a glance,
And find my mistakes, by chance,
When if you find the style is -wrong
Don't try to sing it, it's not a song.
Oh, dear readers, condemn me not for
breaking the poets rules.
Because we have all had different teachers
and different schools.
Also different ideas about our heads are
whirling, *
And different poems are our different
ways of unfurling.
