T gp N as Tilunior 'Brom The Junior Prom was held at the Temple theatre on February 12. About forty couples were in attendance, good music was furnished and, in general, the affair was a grand success. The dancing started at nine o'clock and lasted until twelve o'clock. Punch Was served until a late hour, but due to the excessive thirst of those present it finally disappeared among a clatter of glasses and merry laughter. The lights got really rude about eleven o'clock and kept winking at intervals until at twelve o'clock, they refused to shine any more, and could they have heard the many remarks not in their favor, they Would have blushed with shame. The programs were in' class colors and of a neat yet chic design. Tlfato Gimc 'flatly Our Annual Barn Warming was held on Nov. 20, 1915, in-Plant Industry building. It was carried out this year much the same as other years, with all people present in hard time rags and was, as usual, a grand success. Hard cider, sandwiches, apples and pickles were served at midnight, and flash-light pictures were taken of the group. The Juniors were born for great things, The Seniors were born for small, And the Sophornores-why, 'it is not recorded, . Why they were born at all! Mr. Rivett's favorite remark is: Simple things for simple people! P. S.-I like simple things. muI:Jwml.,.-fmnmmvw-mmm-u vw mi mu 1 1 I -- e - ' 'locals TIM HARP.- Why is the ocean always on the move?

9 SWMCMS N . zf X 'S Ny .Q we ,.,,,,,, , fllunior 'Jlfistory In the year of 1914, we first appeared at the S. of A. as Freshmen We d'd 't 1 n exactly have pep, for you can't have everything at once, but we attracted plenty of attention by our art' d , p IGS an bright ideas. We also were able to keep ourselves above the slams of the S h .. . V op omores, and it must be admitted that that means a great deal. I It was prophesied that the Class of '17 would d o some won- derful things some day. Throughout our Sophomore year we gath d ere pep and energy, occasionally exhibiting some of it to the school, and this year, as Juniors, -the prophecy of 1914 has been fulfilled. ' ' Now, it is notin a spirit of boastfulness that the writer speaks b . . ut rather one of pride. Why, you ask? Does it not mean some: thing to be a member of a class which is leading all classes of the S. of A ' ' '7 . in everything. Go back to.1914. Pray tell us, gentle reader, if your memory is good, what class was the first to organize the annual barnwarming? The Class of 1917. Again, what class as Sophomores, was first to recognize the Freshie d ' ' ' s an give them a boost into the Joys and sorrows of the S. of A., in the form of a grand reception. Again you must answer, 1917! Once again, what class was the Hrst to keep their flag on the pole for forty-eight plus hours, and the first to get broken bones in d f 4 e ense of their colors? The answer, as ever, is 1917. What class of the S. of A. was the first to boast a Junior captain of the football team, and seven men on the squad as well? VVhat class won the B. B. booster pennant for the season of 1916? What class won the school B. B. tournament and thus proved themselves the champions of the S. of A.? To this you must again answer, that Class of 1917. And last, but very important, what class organized the school paper, THE AGGIE TATTLERH, the paper that is a huge success and that advertises the S. of A. far and wide? Reader, you must answer all queries with the same answer-the Class of 1917. Now again, the writer emphasizes that he is not boasting, but really to be fair, you must admit that the Class of 1917 is the best class-the original class-of the S. of A., and if you had your choice, you like Buster B. would select the Juniors!

Q sf' g , r X N S xg Elf? MQ On the war Toth Little Christian, at the movies, saw a tribe of Indians painting their faces and asked his mother for the reason for this. Indians, his mother answered, always paint their faces before going on the War path and before scalping, tomahawking and murdering. The next evening, after dinner, as the mother entertained Arvilla's young man in the parlor, Christian rushed down stairs, wide-eyed with fright. Come on mother, he cried, 1et's get out of here, quick! Billie's going on the war path! Oh Walter if thou could'st have seen The joys that thine would have been, If thou had'st joined the W L With all its maidens fair! How could'st thou coldly turn away When Martha kindly bid thee stay! . Could'st thou not know her heart would break I f ther thou did'st forsake? JULIA J .- Well I've had him for two years, I guess I can keep him the 'rest of this term. E0 Our 'lllunior Boy H ere's to the Junior boy, with his funny clothes And hideous yells,' who studies football, Tricks and Lyric Bellesj Who's always foolish, but never in bad, and Who spends all the money earned by his dad! He's the School's pride and his m0ther's 309, So here's long life to the Junior boy! X, '-'lj what 'Else woulo 'Fife Come 'Tor ? Irene came to the breakfast table late and was scanned by the reproach- ful eyes of Miss Corbin, Did that young man kiss you last night? HN ow, Miss Corbin, said the pretty girl with a reminiscent smile, 'fdo you suppose that he came all the way from Pennsylvania to hear me sing? Dr. Sturdevant had been treating Mr. Hoagland for dyspepsia for a long time and finally, wishing to know how his patient was coming, he told him to take a dill pickle just before going to bed, and see if he could hold it on his stomach over night. The next day Bill H. called and Dr. Sturdevant asked him the results. Ah, it was all right, Doc, said Bill, as long as I was awake, but when I went to sleep it rolled off. Who made the bet about Harley Nelson? Tell 'em about the time you and he entertained a couple of Janes at the Orpheum, Fairley.
