iiiiK. to
evflipulse is
Eddlo's speech was quite a peach
And Prexio's was no weaker
Lawrence Smith got pretty meek
But Freshman Wood got Meeker.
Two years ago Jesse Wood entered
as a freshman and beat a popular
senior out of his girl. Now his kid
brother enters as a freshman and
cops tho sweetie of ono of tho fac-
ulty members. All of which goes to
provo that day by day in every way
freshmen grow fresher and fresher.
Misses Watson Malone and Bishop
wcro at tho game in a formation
known us tho Grandstand Huddle
System and were apparently taking
part in an argument. Tho Owl slip
ped up to investigate and presently
Miss Watson inquired of a student
"Which player calls signals?' We
havo been discussing it and none of
us seem to know."
"The quarterback calls signals"
was the prompt reply.
"The quflfcterbttckl' 'exclaimed Miss
Bishop. "How many of those play at
a time?"
A short whilo later this humorous
incident was related to Mrs. Aberna-
thy. "That's pretty good" she laugh
ingly remarked "but it looks liko she
would havo known by tho name that
there are four."
Mildred DeSpaln was at the game
with Wilma Bynum and her Romeo.
Wilma was introduced by her escort
to a McMurry boy. "I am delighted
to make your acquaintance Miss By-
num and this is your mother I pre-
sume" ho said bowing to Mildred.
If you doubt tho validity of the above
statement nsk Mildred about it over
the telephone.
Well sho is at least ono senior who
docs not look liko a kid. Most of the
others aro mistaken for freshmen
All of the seniors who are not nine-
teen or twenty aro eighteen. Tho
three youngest children nre Roberta
Harlan Tolbert Fanning and Elton
Abernathy. They will receive their
degrees at the tender age of eighteen
Roberta will have a great deal of
troublo when she goes out to enter
the teaching profession. Everywhere"
she goes some truant officer will nab
her thinking that she is playing
hookey from grommor school unless
her actions greatly improve. When
D II. was knocked out nt the game
she remarked to some girls "Isn't it
too bad; Harrison Hunroe tolu me
that D. H. had some floating ribs
What if they should sink!"
Burford Tune an ex-student who
used to draw cartoons for tho Prickly
Pear four years ago now draws sev
eral comic strips and is chief cartoon
1st for the College Life magazine.
The Owl looked over some of his col
lege cartoons and decided that A.C.C.
has changed quite a bit the last few
years or else Burford got his college
ideas from some other institution.
Earl Craig is resigning from tho
quartet as he prefers to debate and
Forrest Waldrop has resigned from
tho debate team to become a mem-
ber of tho quartet disposing of tho
old adage that all great minds run in
tho same channel. But after all it is
best that everyone does not think
alike as it is difference of opinion
that makes track contests.

MYSTERY OF FOUR RAINY
SUNDAYS IN ROW SOLVED
'Say Johnnie what are we going
to do about this rain question"
said President Baxtor to Johnnio
Peters ono' afternoon in lato
August when the earth ill tho vU
cinity of West Texas had not seen
any moisture for three or six
months.
iWoll sir" Johnnio replied
scratching his head in his char-
acteristic manner "I havo not
manipulated any arithmetical cal-
culations on tho matter but I shall
sco what can bo dono about it."
At mo time jonnmo was em
ployed in the registrar's office
making transcripts and chapel cut
notices to his heart's content.
Ho gnvo up that position and
was not heard from for nearly a
month. Finally it rained ono Sun-
day morning. Tho rain continued
that day and ceased. Bright and
early tho next Sunday morning
showers of precipitation again fell.
.Tho same thing wns true of tho
next and tho next. "Four Sundays
in a row" President Baxter said
ono evening. "I wonder what con-
nection Johnnio has to all this!"
Simultaneously with that
thought Johnnio appeared and
said ho had taken a job at tho
weather bureau. Ho pulled the
rain lover on Sunday for various
and sundry reasons of his own in-
dicative of a psychological theory
Johnnio has always wanted to
prove.
M. V. Showalter Discusses
"Youth" In Chapel Tuesday
"Let no man despise- thy youth"
wns tho subject used by M. V. Sho-
walter in his chapel talk Tuesday
morning.
"The word 'despise'"" he said
"means to look down on. Let your
youth bo tho very best in order that
persons will not look down on what
you aro doing." He stated that it is
the undesirable things in n person's
lifo that cause him to be despised.
"Bo selective in tho opportunities you
grasp. It is your opportunity to grasp
the good things."
"Profit from experiences" said
Showalter. ''Wo Bhould build in our
lives things that wo may look back
on with pleasure.''
