The Pine Burr are now residing in Beaumont. We recently heard that two of the above were seriously contemplating Inatrimony and one will probably have adopted a new cognomen by the time this goes to print. Jake Serafino is serving in the capacity of chauffeur to his father. .Take says he can make the benzine boat do anything but talk. Folyd Spurlock collects money where others fail. He is official clean-up man for the Beaumont Enterprise-that is, he cleans up bad debts. Bliss Mabel Goodman lingers in Beaumont still. However, s11e is non-committal regarding her affairs and will not divulge her plans for the future. Miss Ruth Adams and Miss Goldamae Britton can be seen on Pearl street almost any afternoon. Goldie's dimple is the most cov- teted thing in town. - We saw Miss Ona Carroll in a local picture show a short time ago. She was accompanied by a very pretty girl-a relative, we suppose, as beauty runs in the family. VVe tried to get an introduction to the new girl, but found that we were not qualified for the honor. Miss Grace Cha1'lton, the avowed enemy of one I. H. H., is tak- ing out her spite on a typewriter in a local office. Coy Thomas Bright takes his daily promenade down Pearl street, and in justice to his efforts we venture- the assertion that he is the neatest dressed youngster in town. Box-earn Buddie Harder is connected with the Gulf Pipe Line Company in Beaumont, and he has the reputation of being the most industrious employe in their fold. Misses Helen Fitzgerald and Nona Hamilton, our two smiling coquettes, continue to disturb the hearts of several Beaumont youths. 'Twas ever thus. Miss Kiber and Miss Duperier-you cannot speak of one without the other-are daily contributors to the cause of the local picture shows, and no one can blame them, as we would all do the same if we had the silver. ' VVe expected to have the pleasure of reading an article in one of 17

The Pine Burr Thomas Kelly is supervising a class in railroad construction. He seems very much impressed with the choice epithets of some of his underlings, and is seriously contemplating the organization of a class in oratory, wherein their talent may have a chance for development. VVorking along the same line as Kelly, we find Pledger Eastham. He expects to be president of the Frisco some day. Clyde McAnelly takes a thief out every morning and steals a little oil from all the tanks of the Magnolia Petroleum Company in the south end of Beaumont. To be explicit, he is gauger for the above named corporation. Hutt Reed, president of the class of '12, is engaged in the con- struction of a gravel road in Orange County, and incidentally grow- ing a beard that will be a good protection against the attacks of mos- quitoes later in the season. y , David Sobel, mathematical prodigy, is attending the State A. Sz M. College. His first request on reaching the school was that he be shown the cow that gave buttermilkl-and he was shown. 1 Theo Tusa, the walkin g fashion plate, attended Tulane for a while, but his eyes became so weakened by the glare of the Crescent City that he was compelled to return to Beaumont, where he purposes becoming a medicine man, or to be exact, a physician. Benjamin Irby, poet laureate and otherwise distinguished scholar, is now learning to be a first-class real estate salesman. It is said that he can convince a prospective buyer of real estate that an inundated swamp is a French boulevard. Tie is now in the office of his father. Eric Carroll is official taster at a local bakery. This accounts for his notable increase in corpulence. Harry VValker has removed to Houston, where his talent as alma- chinist will be given an opportunity to develop. Harry says the Houston society is what attracts him most, though-too slow for him in Beaumont. Miss Irby Lockhart is now living in Ore City, Texas. She has the distinction of being the belle of her city. Misses Ethel Sparks, Mary Brinson, Ida Fehl and Goldie Fields 16

.,, Y The Pine Burr the national weeklies by Miss Ruby Ruth Pond but so far none has appeared. Perhaps the young man with whom she goes quite often takes too much of her time. She is teaching at the South Park School. Miss Dorothy Kohn is attending school at San Marcos, and after she has finished her course in pedagogy she will probably accept a position as teacher in the Beaumont schools. Miss Leah Josey, literateur, is now the possessor of one of those things popularly known as a husband. She is living in Sh1'CVCP01't, La. Miss Nettie Plumb and llliss Juanita llloore are attending school at the University of Texas. They chose this school for the reason that only here would their exceptional talent be appreciated. lNIiss Margaret Fitzgerald has decided to dicker with the hearts of the young men residing in the vicinity of that great southern metrop- olis, Amelia, Texas. . Miss Madeline Wallace is laying the foundations of a great com- mercial enterprise at Call, Texas. Miss Olive Axelson is aiding the color-blind to make up their minds what they want. She is a clerk for the local firm of Rosenthal Dry Goods Company. Again one of our number breaks into the married column in the person of Miss Lucille Blake-we do not know her recently acquired surname. llliss Ora Holland lives in Beaumont, but after the wedding, which takes place shortly, she will remove to-but then she asked us not to tell, so we will not. Some of our members have left without' due warning as to their prospective homes, and we haven't the least idea where they now re- sideg all we can do for these lost sheep is to wish them Godspeed, and a safe return to their fold. 18
