THE NORMAL STAR
CHICKEN SUPPER ON ’TH RIVER
Six thirty Monday evening found us
grouped comfortably around a bright,
husky camp fire at the head of the ri-
ver’ .Around the one ; of these v/ere
numerous oblong pits of coals, the pur-
pose of which was not disclosed until
much later. The crowd was a congen-
ial one and the environment adaptable,
so time passed with unbelievable rapid-
ity. Someone suggested that we play
“Going to* New York”; Many brilliant
ideas were brought forth by this game,
and it_ is generally admitted that the
Biological students proved themselves
the stars. The game was broken up
by an element of treason. (Courtesy
prevents our mentioning names.)
Miss Graves and Mr. Bowman were
prominently present and lent much to
the entertainment of the evening. Their
minds were • in such perfect harmony
that before their episode was over,
the_ entire crowd was dubious about
their thoughts. Obviously the strain
of concentration was too great, be-
cause Terry is said to have complained
of severe headache;Tuesday.
It was whispered about that supper
was ready, and that was all that was
njecessary. On every plate there was a
half of a barbecued chicken, (we won-
der how Jessie has attained such a de-
gree of perfection in so few years, for
it was_ he who barbecued the chicken)?,
sandwiches, potato chips, olives, cakes
and fruit, • and conveniently near big
containers of hot chocolate and coffee.
The personnel of the party included
Miss Graves, Mabel Bates, Jo Martin,
Pearl Offield, Billie Morse, Rhoda
Brown, Laura Kate Hilburn, Janie
Hopson, Bessy Bates, Betty Rife, Flo
Hooper, Madie Jones, Martha Wood-
son, Non Douglas McGaughy, Corinne

When the Rain’s Continually Dripping
From The Roof.
Oh, it’s fine for sleeping
When the rain’s continualy dripping
From the roof.
Every muscle relaxing
Not a brain cell taxing,
Gently dozing not composing
When the rain’s continually dripping
From the roof.
In the fall time when it’s raining
The cores are often detaining;
The hired boy does the milking
And the feeding of the cattle
While the rain’s continually dripping
From the roof.
To the house he cames a-sloshing,
To the back door of the kitchen—
Suddenly his feet go slipping—
On the ground he is sprawling
While the milk goes branching
On the ground.
To the kitchen he goes sneaking
Of his troubles never speaking
While the milk’s continually dripping
From his clothes.

Mr. Brown: “Do you see this acute

Howard Keir (just waking up) :
“What cute angel?”
Darkness soon is dropping
Gently dropping
Like the mist from the clouds—
Where the sun is setting
There is no telling
When the rain’s continually dripping
From the roof.
Before the fire- the family’s sitting,
Nodding, gently nodding—
To bed soon they’re going—
There begin’s a gentle siloring
Like the wind in the trees.
The fire, on the hearth is slowly dying,
And darkness comes a-creeping in the
room,
Oh, its fine ioi sleeping •_
When the rain’s continually -dripping
From the roof.

did not have the line strength to match
the backfield’s brilliance, and Camp

might be made to include Chaney of

J. Kellam Choice for Full.
In an association of thirteen''teams
it is. impossible to draw a very dis-
tinct line and to place the best eley.en
men pn the one«side. As a result Mr".
RuggleS chose a second and a third
team, on which third team he placed our
consistant and star fullback, Jessie
Kellam.
It seems to us that the representa-
tion our men made on the All-T. I. A. A.
team shows up mighty well for this
college. We are proud of our Bobcats.

It’s on Tuesday and on Friday
That to Chapel we all go.
Hurry, hur?*y to our seats
“There’s a reason”, as you know.
Grape-nuts ? no, that isn’t it,
But the spies are every where—
Mr. Boucher’s sure to get you
And you’d better take good care.
But when we’re seated and content,
For we’ve nothing else to do,
We watch our worthy faculty
Come one by one to view.
hirst up pops Mr. Woodson,
A.nd just as surp as fate,
“While monitors are marking -up,
Announcements I will make.”
Then Miss Butler, she steps forth
“We’ll sing two hundred nine:
Let’s “Onward Christian Soldiers”
And keep the best. of time.”
“Your President”, he then comes in,
The speaker Of the -day,
Holds tightly, to . the pulpit,
And quite oft we’ve heard him say—
But never mind, his speech- indeed
Was fine and We all trembled
When heard the various ways
His wardrobe was assembled.
Now Buddy Ivey bounces; forth
With a proclamation true,
“Listen folks, help win thi§ game;
I’ll say it’s -up to you.”
Then Franklin to the stage doth fly,
His red hair gleaming bright,
“Get some pep, now sway to the floor,
And yell with all your might.”
Look out, now ! the end has come—
The Presidential fist
Shoots high in air and we all know
That we have been dismissed.

connection with the material at her
command, should enable her to put out
a _ Gypsy team that will score even a
higher mark than the team of last year,
did. Certainly it is true that we stu-
dents must be behind the team-as well
as we are behind the Bobcats. The
Gypsies are as good a bunch as the
Bobcats, just as earnest a bunch of
workers and just as hard a bunch of
fighters as the Bobcats are, and they
deserve every ounce, or moral and ev-
ery other kind of support we can give
them.
This is the first year of the Gypsies
as a member of the Women’s Intercol-
legiate Athletic Association of Texas,
an organization for women which cor-
responds to ;the T. I. A. A. for men. , _

so as not to interfere with the ,T. I.

are definitely arranged we shall print
a full schedule of the garnets. So. far
games have been secured with the fol-
lowing teams : four, two each on • each
of the two courts, with Denton; T. C.
U. two games in Ft. Worth and one
here; two games with Southwestern
University, one on each court; and two
with the First Baptist Church at Ft.
