Herewith find this I92I GRASSBURR submitted for your approval. The ancestors of this CRASSBURR have. since their existence, lived in the vicinity of John Tarleton Agricultural College. From the beginning each ancestor has left a past well worth recording. In this specimcn's makc-up there are many things lacking and many crudities$f manners. In spite of the fact that its makers have burned midnight oil, worked under difficulties. been heggars of money. and wept pub- licly, all is not as it should have been. But to the best of our ability. we have recorded for you not only the miniature: of each fair maiden and each gallant cadet, but also the current events of the College. May your portrait: surpise your eyes and the events be above your expectations, and this 1921 CRASSBURR .meet to the hearty approval of all. THE STAFF. Seven ORDER OF BOOKS.

We. the Seniors of 1921. hegan our history as a class in September of the year 191 7. with the opening of John Tarleton Agricultural College. We can boast of being the first class which is the entire product of this college smce it was made a State school. But during the formation of our history several of the members have dropped out. In our Sophomore year Chance and hate joined forces. and soon their works bore fruit. Cupid stole in unotsetved and took away four of our members. But their places were filled by four other excellent students. namely. Marguerite Carlton. Veda Marr. Zelda Tubbs and F ranklin Matheny. who came to us in our Junior year as graduates from Stephenville High School. and who have been leaders in our class. Two of them won the highest honors, Miss Zelda Tubbs first honor and Mr. Franklin Matheny second. But at the end of our Junior year. allurecl by the demand for teachers and good salaries, eleven of our members left us for the teaching profession. When we came to our Senior year the class was re-assembled with a membership of twenty-three. one of whom was a new addition, Miss Lucia Painter. coming to us from Baylor. Meeting with numerous obstacles, it has seemed at times that we would fall never to rise again, then would come the voice of our Dean assuring us that, uIt is no disgrace to fall it we did not remain fallen. Many days of our journey have been strewn with joy and happiness, but then would appear upon the scene the old motto. Into this life some rain must fall, some days must be dark and dreary. ' And the dreary ones have often dimmed our vision. The particular cloud that hung over us was a debt of six hundred dollars left unpaid on last year's Annual. We were told that nothing whatever should be done toward putting out another until this debt was raised. And so with zeal and determination. with earnestness anal ardor the debt of six hundred dollars was cancelled. Then, too, the money for our Annual of 1921 was collected, as we were determined not to impose such a burden on the succeeding class as had heen left upon our shoulders. So much for the hardships that have confronted us. for they are gone to be forgotten. and now we shall tell you of some of those things that shall live in our memories torever. Among these is the memory of the faithfulness and the unfailing interest and help- fulness of Miss Walker. whom we chose in our Junior year as our class advisor and whom we wisely retained in our Senior year. We also appreciate the eltorts of the Dean and his wife. and all others who have made us share in their hospitality. It is pleasant to know that our class has afforded so many who were prominent in student activities. Three members of the Male Quartette were Seniors. Nearly all of our athletes are members of our class. It has supplied several oflieers for the J.-Tac. and Annual Staff. The president of the Y. W. C. A. was chosen from our classes, as were also the uBeauty Queen and-the most popular girl and the most popular boy in school. One of our boys, Mr. Jake Robertson. was awarded a gold medal in the State Orator- ical Contest of 1920. Our desires have been to perform our part well and to leave the school lzetter than we found it. And as we look back over past years we regret that we did not do better work than we have done, but since that time has gone we have only to look forward to a still higher aim and a higher purpose. ALMA HEATH. CLASS PROPHECY. By LUCIA IRMA PAINTER. As I sit in my 31 mchalr tonight by the fire. I long for my old friends with burning desire; I've had a few letters, I've had a few notes. I've some newspaper clippings and some gossip reports; I know you'll enjoy them, so I'll tell you the news 01' each new as l have it, and not take Past reviws. The hrst that I'll mention you'll iemember quite welli But whether it's so, dear, you never can telle 'Tis Dimple, she's married, and Bill has a store, And Carl ran for president in '44. Metheny's a judge in a district court; Stockton's a photographer of famous report. Lucla's a widow with money to burn; Scottle's in Cuba. still studying the worma A Nemathelminthes and Ascores, too; We had them. you remember. in Zoo 402. Johnson's a traveler for ilFoolem 6': Son, Sells ladies' lingerie. guarantEES every one. And Hughes is now running a cabaret, He's thrilling East Broadway in his usual way. Anu- Puivis is in cabinet at the President's right hand; While Kay b!ows the whistle for old feeble Doc Bland. Doc, our dear Daddy, through this struggle and strife Has come out on top with a rich lovln' wife. Monty, the dauntless, of the Burnt cory troupe fame, Now works for the movies. in the Chas. Chaplin's game. Tattie's a captain, away out at sea, A sighting for new land';, his fortune to see. Alma has childrenithey say 63! Oh! She's teaching school back in old Tennessee. Elisha's chaffeur of proud. stately mien, And drives Madame Chamberlalns' uew limousene. Hukei's 1n Princeton--teachlng English, they say, And Jake is a priest in Des Moines. Iowa. But the dear stately Carlton, many mansions does own. Many friends and admirers crowd 'round her throne. Of the wee, modest Veda. you haven't heard yet, Why shes a great speaker. a real suffragette. Bunt's teaching dancing. has a French non-de-plume, In Fort Worth and Dallas. Monsieur Gimme Room. Dee went to England, a title to claim, And there started seeking some millionaire dame. Then Zelda, she married and is living still. In our dear, sweet old city of nice Stephenville. She traveled. she wandered, North, East. South and West. But when all was visited, she found home the best. And can you imagine what I'm golng to tell? She married our old friend. dear Edwaxd Pamell! Too. Edward's the Dean at Tarleton this year, And's making the best that they've had, so I hear. Would you ever a-thought it in '21, When all our lives were hardly begun, That we'd all be famous, and win us a name. And add to the glory of old Tarleton's fame? Not some falling leaves eas Riley did deem. As he'd cast ghastly shadows on Lucia's love dream, Nor yet quite the dunces we thought we might be. As Mr. Ward's grades in French we would see. But some have been genii. thoi now wrinkled and gray, Some might have been speakers in the Ferguson way. Or some have raised ferrets. or some cats and rats, Or some studied Greek, or raised Suds or Lats. But-now that I've told you. oh! aren't you quite proud To say that you knew them. and then shout aloud: Oh! the flag of old Tarleton; 0 long may it wave- O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Birdwcn, Tltir'lyrfl'r'c JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY. I am a little grassburr, among a great many of my kind. Here comes my grandfather and my father. I wonder if they will tell me something of their college days. Grand- father. haven't you a story to tell? uYes. my son. I like to recall my Freshman days at Tarleton. Not many were in our class, but always whatever was best for our college was favored by us. Freshmen are usually considered green, ihshyf or have some other like term applied to them, but this bunch of Freshmen proved an exception. In lthletics, we stood near the top mast. In college organizations. we sailed among the Heetest. As a matter of fact, there would have been no Sophomores if the Freshmen had not determinedly set their minds on some high goal and worked with untiring efforts to attain it. Your father can tell of Sophomore days better than I. The Sophomore class! How many memories of our good times, college escapades; yes. and work towtheae words bring! At the beginning of our Sophomore year, a spirited speech was rnade to us. Remember. Sophomore. you are to make the Junior: of tomorrow. What you do here today will make an impression sometime, somehow. somewhere. And we never forgot. In every activity of college life. we always pulled together and did our best. No class in school had better team work. That was the reason that the Sophomore class of 1920 turned out to be in 'Zl one of the best Junior classes that had ever entered John Tarleton College. uYes, father, you are right. In choosing a school girls and boys from all over Texas. chose to cast their lot with numerous other grassburrs. They chose to stick or get stuck as the case might be. In scholarship. the majority of the hfty-six Juniors, is above the average; for proof see the honor roll. In the athletic held one has only to glance at Big Hudsey. Langford. Bassel or Camp before knowing that we roll up the score on our opponents. The praise of the Juniors cannot be too loudly sung when it comes to glee clubs, literary societies, and other college clubs. A better looking bunch of cooks cannot be found, and their looks are by no means the least of their value. Considering all points no one can doubt that we will stick together to the last for Tarleton. Thirty-su'x :3 , 1:, - 2:435. 21 x 3 ?tlitfiyifsw V. V . Lattimore. Williams Merrill. Carlton.

SYNOPSIS 01: PART I. In September. l9l9, a company of pilgrims started on a Journey through the Land of Knowledge. Some were overcome in a swamp called Biology by the Arthropoda. Others perished 1n a darksome glen, Lnglish. hncouraged by entertainments along the way, however, the majonty pressed on until they could see into the Land of Sophomore. Then their leaders, Homan Bigger: and Beryl Burnett, decreed a long vacation in the Valley of Summer. SYNOPSIS OF PART II. After resuming the journey. the small. but valiant band chose new leaders: Joe Lat- timore to guide them, and M133 Lucy King to keep account of daily happemngs. in order that they might have counsel trom an expenenced traveler. they selected again M135 Pearl Mahan as advisor. They choose a certa1n Mary Davidge buck to write an account of this journey that they might always remember it. and Mr. Kaytord Muns to be treasurer. '1 hen they decided that they must have entertamers. so they chose hve: Bethel. Compton. bliis, Wolverton and Wuhams. by name. They had many good times along the way. Une rainy evening they had a picnic. Then. too. their leader took them to a lake one Dunday atternoon where they took many pictures of the scenery along the way. After they had passed through about hall of this Land of bophomore. they were given a party at the home of Del blaughter, wh1ch was considered the greatest social event of the Journey. But their Journey was not altogether one of pleasure. The pilgrims had to go through many dangerous places. Many, seeking a short cut through the iunnel of French. be- came lost. Others were unable to climb the Mountain ot beometry and slid down into the Valley of Despair. '1 here were also many rocks aiong the way which were known to the pilgrlms as demerits. These rocks were very sharp and pricked the feet of some of them until they were barely able to accompany the rest of the pilgrims who were more tortunate than they. Others of the company became aH'hcted with a peculiar disease known as love-sickness. and it was only through careful nursing that they were able to recover sufhciently to continue their journey. After the pilgrims had passed through most 0 fthis Sophomore Land, they decided to write a paper which they called the J. -Tac.. that it might help others along that way. Leroy Wren was asked to edit this paper Among its contents were the picture of their leader. an account of an entertainment, and articles telling of the trials and accompish- ments of this dauntless band After many months of wandering. the pilgrims came to the boundaries of another country which they found to be Junior Land. Since they were worn out from their many hardships, they decided to rest a while before continuing their journey. tTa be continued in I922J Elm M :qun u...u Hum. QM. HrWI Uln M IN MI N4 - Iu..- 1n .

Forty mm HISTORY OF FRSHMAN CLASS. WAD WILLIAMSON. President. LOUISE SHELTON. Secretary. MOTTO: After adversity comes success. COLORS: Pea green and lavender. There was organized September 24. I920. the greatest class that John Tarleton has ever known. A peppy bunch of Freshmen crowded together and arranged for the elec- tion of officers. These Freshmen were known as Fish. because they hang together in schools. Frank Cauble was unanimously elected president. Wad Williamson was elected vice-president, Louise Shelton, secretary. In the early spring Frank took a roaming spell and Wad became president, Louise vice-president. Mr. Lyle was chosen as F aculty adviser. Sol Slaughter was selected class historian. Riggs Roberts reported for the J.-Tac.. and Pug Britton was appointed joker. After electing their officers, the uFish began to put some upep in their organization. A kodak party was held on November 25, and everyone enjoyed the sandwiches fixed by the Dump girls. Many group pictures were taken that afternoon. On the after- noon of October Zl the Freshmen gathered on the south steps of the Administration Build- ing. and from there hiked to the Basque, near the picturesque pecan grove above the bridge on the Thurber road. Thereafter ensued much frying of bacon and weenies, followed by the tooasting of marshmallows and roasting of apples. After every Fresh- man had been rounded up, yells were given. songs were sung, and the merry party hiked for town. invaded the confectionery as a matter of course. Here the party broke up. as Miss Mahan's bunch had to be in by ten-thirty. The Freshmen class is one of the most important divisions of student activity in J. T. A. C. The Freshmen all have high ideals and one never sees a Fish looking as if he were ready to wither away. He holds his head high. and strive: to make a man or woman that the world will not be ashamed of. Future generations will be proud to say that their ancestors were once members of the Fish class of l920-2l. Furly-fam COLLEGE HOSPITAL AND cuss m CARPENTRY MANUAL ARTS DEPARTMENT. The Manual Arts Department has been the scene of great activity throughout the entire year. The class in Carpentry has erected a College Hospital this year. This building will accommodate ten patients at one time. While it is hoped that the College will have very little occasion to use it. Yet. it will always be ready in case of emerg- ency. If a pretty. young nurse is secured, no doubht the biulding will be filled to capacity. In the Work Shop a great variety of articles has been made. Enough cedar chests have been made to supply Central Texas, while furniture of all kinds has been made. by the cart loacl. Whenever a boy insists on building a complete suite of furniture, it is a pretty good sign that Dan Cupid has a hand in the deal. The Drafting Room has been very busy this year. Everything. from a map of the City to a patent olhce drawing. has been made. Another great boost to this Department is the girls' class in Wood Shop. This is an innovation in the College. and the results have been a surpise to the folks. who had an idea that the girl: could not learn to drive a nail. It is hard to tell what this age of equal suErage will lead to. Since the girls' class has been organized. the number of applications from men wishing to become assistant teachers in the Wood Shop has exceeded the demand. The Department is looking forward with great hope of securing the new $75,000.00 Manual Arts Building at an early date. Fortyvfive THE MECHANICAL DRAWING ROOM T 1? CHOT VIRJG XCCII THE COOKERY ROOM Fm vyrsrrm THE DINING ROOM This is the Dining Room of the Home Economics Department in which the Cookery Maids have practiced on each other and themselves in preliminaries to other ven- tures. Home breakfasts. lunches. dinners. and Sunday night suppers have all been laughed over and worked over. But. perhaps, the happiest memories will linger around the dinners which the Maids gave their guests Faculty and otherwiseeand the little evening at home when all the gallant knights came to see. to taste, and to talk of the future. For'fyrl'yh! COMMERCIAL ARTS CLASS ROOM The Commercial Department is one of the many grow- ing departments of the College. It enlisted I 36 students during the year, of which more than lOO have completed their courses and many are now serving the public as bookkeepers and stenographers. It is well equipped with all necessary apparatus requisite for a complete course, including 15 typewriters which afiord free practice to all registered students. elec- tric equipped bookkeeping machine, large ledger tray, adding machines, calculators, mimeograph, and occupies two large rooms. furnished with large desks, chairs, etc. The students in this Department make their work seem less laborous by using music rhythm. speed contests. and losing themselves in concentrated efforts to make no mistakes. Forty-ninr Fifty-twa FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT. Under the direction of Mr. Froh. Director of Fine Arts and Professor of Piano and Theory. the Department of Fine Arts has made much progress this year. The Student. Orchestra and Glee Club recitals have stood out very prominently, and have been a source of interest and entertainment to both the college and the public. These recitals have done much to create an interest in and to advertise the College this year. These organizations have prepared excellent programs which have been rendered both at home and in neighboring towns. Everywhere they have received a hearty welcome and much praise. The History. Harmony and Theory classes have also accomplished much. Nearly every student in the Music Department has been enrolled in some one of these theory classes. The greatest accomplishments of these classes was the exhibit of about two hun- dred musical manuscripts, including original themes compositions and drawings. This exhibit was also shown In the Fort Worth Record 5 Home Exposition The Art Department, under the direction of Mrs. J L. Riley. has done good work this year. This Department gave an exhibit of pictures in oils, water color. charcoal and of handpainted china. Its work has also received much attention and praise. The Lyceum Course for this year has been stronger than any the College has had before. The numbers are as follows: The Orpheus Four. A Lecture by Frederick Warde. The Virginia Girls Sextette. A Series of Lectures by Dr. Stockton Axson. Albert Lindquist and Assisting Artists. The Lyceum Course has met with such success this year that the College hopes to have a still stronger one next year. BOYS' QUARTETTE TARLETON CLEE CLUB. This Glee Club is the happiest organization in school. and. oh! how they can sing: each member can sing all parts and carry on a most wholesome tune, for instance. if Scottie gets behind with the base they all slide over and help him out, and if Mr. Lyle looses his voice and no tuner is heard they all join in and help him till he gets even, but the baritone is the hardest to control. and sometimes a squeak is heard above the rest. then Schmidt looks at Hays with his fingers crossed and. of course. you know that this means go slow. When the last note is reached. the whole auditorium is full of music, and the audience is well entertained.

C. in the Fall term of I920. The name Brotherhood of Buddies was selected the most appropriate name since the Club was in no way to be directly affiliated with any other organization of Ex- service men. The Club was organized for the purpose of promoting closer fellowship among the various Ex-service men of the College of offering them better opportunities to get ac- quainted with one another. and to furnish wholesome entertainment to its members when the occasion presented itself. Through organization we hoped to be of material aid to one another and to the College especially. thus letter the other people of the College and City know that there were some Ex-service men in school at J. T. A. C. who were capable of doing things. The requirements for membership were that of service in any branch of the Army. Navy, or Marine Corps. No specified length of time was required for the service pro- vided the person was a student or mem'; er of the Faculty of J T. A. C. with an hon- orable discharge or still a member of the reserve force of any of the branches of mili- tary service. Every hranch of the service was represented in our membership. with the Army first 1n numbers Navy next and Marine Corps next. Quite a number of our mem'; ers saw service in France others did transport work during and after the war. while still others did not get any further than the training camp. but showed that they were ready to do their part. The Faculty as well as the student body was well rep- resented in the membership. The Club. soon after its organization, prepared and rendered a program for the dedication of the new Hag pole. They raised and lowered the National colors the first time they were ever seen on the new flag pole; the Clu'J has a section on the name plate of the Hag pole with the full membership on it. Due to the organization of so many other cluhs the Brotherhood of Buddies did not continue to meet regularly through the entire year but was always ready to stand for anything worth while and show their colors whenever the occasion seemed to warrant it. F. M. LY LE. H1slorian Sii'lyrlurn THE AGG CLUB. The Agricultural Club was reorganized and new constitution and by-laws were adopted. as well as changing the name to Agg Club. The A33 Club consists of any student taking as much as one full course in Agricul- ture and all the mem';ers of the Agricultural Faculty. The membership was entirely voluntary as well as the other obligations of the Club. The hg Club has been. since its organization. one of the very strongest clubs in J. T. A. C. The membership has been amoung the largest and the attendance has been just as good. It is the only club that has been organized this year which met every week throughout the entire year. Not only has it been meeting all through the year, but definite plans are already made whereby it is sure to be carried right on through next year. Ollicers are changed each term of the school year so that a great many members get the benelits of office holding. The object of the Club has been to disseminate knowledge of Agriculture and similar subjects. also to promote closer fellowship between students of agriculture and others interested in agriculture at J. T. A. C. The Club has not only held its regular meetings, but has had some very interesting entertainments on the side. the best of which was a pig roast. Keep a place for the Agg Club as it has come to stay as one of our worthy organ- Izations. Sirly-th rm . ....................... Avigmi a RASSB RR . ml: Mr ASSOCIATION 1 ASSOCIATION.

Some time in December they happened to gather on the steps of the Home Economics Building when the last of Labsq French and P.

Mary? Anyway, the eight Spaniards, Germans, Latins, French and Norwegians vowed loyal allegiance to the chosen French term: Lunettes. tLittle did they dream how easily it could lend itself to painful ridiculeJ Somewhere once every week they met foran afternoon or evening of guiety; Christmase time was marked with many festive occasionsiparties. teas, dinners. pictureushow trips and hall-game celebrations continued through January. February and Marvh. Somewayreit was late in Marchr-the heretofore well planned order of good times dis- appeared; spring fever weakened the ranks. It is April now, and those same eight survive, Much warfare have they wagedt Battles have been 'won! And since a stolen picnic on April Fool the old glad spirit of fun has expressed itself anewi The Luuettes have changed none at alieat least almost none. They can smile and talk and giggle and squab- ble as efficiently as in the beginning. Lucia's hair is shorter, but she still makes A's. Marguerite is a light-hearted, though she knows much more of annual lore. Lucy is less meek and has developed speed mania, Leoti can talk. not more but more loudly, and knows eleven new bad wordsifrom some outsider. of course. Martha is itsillier, and more daring tevidenced by her capture of the ice man s heart. Mary is as sweet and silly and as heavy. Berta is as volcanic and teasable. irace is as awful and as gracious. This is uinside stuff. They aren't any better, but maybe they aren't any worse thy the law of averageth They did not set out to seek improvement. anyway. What are Mr. Ferguson and his coterie for it not for that very thing? They confess without regret to leaving once or twice-hured cadets and officers alike with parties. and to being dog thieves, with regret to have unwillingly gone en masse to a disgraceful vaudeville. But they loved old HOn Ye Tarlton and that school flag tsper'ially the polei with all their hearts and souls, and will always be Mr. Ferguson's loyal Tarleton Lunatics! Sixiy-m'ght DDD'S.

Those long trips made by Sol and Riggs to Terrell Uhe asyluml, and the great re- joicing when they got back. Why Cupid got lost in the Adolphus at Dallas.

Sirlymim- .SX'MIIIy-faur wg g g f gm Sci'mxtyfx'w THE MILITARY DEPARTMENT. The Military Department has progressed as well as could be expected this year. We have got farther and done more than has been done in any of the three preceding years in which military instruction has lzeen here. The Cadet Corps is organized into a battalion of two companys. Company A consisting of all new men that came in this year. and Company B consisting of all old men and those that have had previous military training. One of the greatest improvements in the department was the organization of a military bancl. Under the leadership of Mr. Hunewell, one of our music instructors. the band has made progress enough to be able to help very much in reviews, ceremonies, and parades that have leen held this year. lhe Cadet Corps was. indeed, fortunate this year to have ColfB. B. Buck review it while he was here Armistice Day. The Military Department greatly aided the Flagpole Ceremony. in which Old Glory was hoisted for the first t'me to the top of our new Hag pole that was erected this year. Our annual hike was carried through this year. The Cadet Corps and Band. under full pack. marched clown on the river about three miles from town and spent the evening and night in real military camp life. While on this hike some target practice was done. The Department expects to have a rifle team and to contest in both the team and mass gallery competitions. Our greatest asset to the Military Department is the military equipment sent here by the War Department. At present there are approximately seven thousand dollars worth of military equipment on hand.

In the Basketball Season of I920 Zl there was litlle that was spectacular The most remarkable phase of the years games was the fine determination to play a good game that the team held before them as with one mind. Out of the four games with Senior colleges larleton lost three; two of these by only two points. The fourth game was won by a score of 42 to l5 from C. Three of the Junior games fell to larleton. The fourth was lost by the usual two points. Ethel Webb. as catpain. gave a synpathetic leadership to an eagerly receptive team. In the thick of the tht her deep-tonecl quick words of encouragement put pep into the play of her girls. Beryl Burnett, business manager. was largely responsible for the large number of games the team was able to play this year. Ethel Webb did strong defensive work as guard and excelled in promoting team work around here position. Lillie Maness played a solid game, was a sure catch, threw a strong. accurate ball, and combined these qualities with lightning decisiqn and emerg- ency headwork. Beryl Burnett did pretty signal work in center, and was possessed of an uncanny certainty in getting the ball to the forwards. Lois Yarborough did line work as forward and later as jumping center Dessie Johnson had that quality so rare in forwardseteam work. She played qu1ck ball and sacrificed brilhant tries for prosaic certainties. Lena Goodman was always in the exact spot to receive a hard ball from center and Hip it into the basket with an air of casualness that was amazing. She is a horn goal pitcher. Dott Blacklock was the sturdy little main stay of the team. She threw sure goals and never missed a practice. Oma Barbee displayed some fast guard- ;ng and a Fme capacity for team work. Opal Barham did good work in center and wai also among the faithful at practice. The second team was loyal and bore all the wearv hours of practice without having the excitement of match games. There is good material for next year in the second team. Nim'ly 0 UmHm m2 mONSbHHOZ Sew n ty-sevtn BASEBALL TEAM BASEBALL GAMES PLAYED. Tarlelon ..................... 6 T C.

Ninety-fiI-e KODAKS NmrIv-sfl GROWTH OF GRASSBURR. A Grassburr is a growth belonging to the Poaceal family, which flourishes on all the wit it can grasp. it is more work than anyone dreams of. except those who cultivated it for the required time. and requires a tremendous amount of imagination. As in the Bib- lical narrative it is washed with our tears and will probaEly fullhl that story in a rather unique way, that is, Leing dried. not with our hair. but with the very scalp of our heads. The firm root system and at least three-fourths of the aerial stem is made up of classes. The cluster of stems is composed of the mass of organizations. clubs and all the other things we find in the school. The sap, the life-blood of existence, is school spirit. The well-developed burrs swinging on high with all their strength and stickability are, of course. the members of the Senior class. The leaves branching in their. order are the other clas- ses, the Freshmen being the tender. young green sprigs, which tone down and soften the formality of the dignified growth. nGrasshurrs aige well adaptable to any especially educational climate. college town the preferred habitate. Stephenville is especially adapted to burrs in general and ' nGrassburrs in particular; it is the sandy land of West Texas which brings forth the tactful Crassburr. which causes even the smallest boy to stop. look and listen. even though it is only his foot that has come in contact with the sharp and surprising specimen. A Grasshurr does not spring forth without any work on the part of the producer. but first the soil is ploughed by the staff; this is done by means of an instrument called enthusiasm. which is drawn by the beneficial animals called subscription. then it is care- fully harrowed by Mr. Genius' family, which lives in the vicinity, Pep; then it is dragged by means of Mr. Baxley's camera which produces a picture of each important seed that is to later bring forth the main uGrassburr ; then the reproduction of the seed twhich seems to have teen enlightened very muchl. is carefully placed on record in the dummy and then the printer, Mr. Mother Nature. sends forth a splendid crop. composed of three hundred perfectly formed Grassburrs. Ninr'ty-n'gm SECRETS OF THE SMOKERS' BENCH. By F RED LANGFORD. tAs TOLD IN CHAPEL BY THE OLD BENCHJ I aint nothing but a rude. old. throwed-at, slapped-together bench. I don't even know the feeling of paint or varnish. but say. if you knew what I know you would know more of human nature than Miss Bierschwale even has the ambition to know. I even know more about the student body than a certain member of the Facultye I would tell you his name but aint allowed to. I will tell you this much, though. he wears a very long belt and not much hair. with shoulders mighty broad, for aint he a true son of Blarney. But. say. I am not unpopular if I aint as good looking as some of the dormitory cavaliers. for didn't the Dump girls grow jealous and move me from my sacred cor- ner to the Dump porch? Also try to remember the fact that Mr. Ferguson an- nounced one frosty morning that after that said hour any boy or girl caught sitting upon said bench on that said corner would be dealt with severely, was that not jealousness? But where am I now? Back at my old corner. where the boys put me soon after the girls moved me. I will admit I was awakened from my peaceful slumbers by the sharp orders of a major to a captain and corporal in order to make this move I had many amusing experiences while at the Dump. I learned how a certain major had planned a little house on the hill just for two, and maybe that aint all. a: :5 as at- a:- as as as .1. mm m . . p mum....mnummnu-muu.m.........x..u.....pm..... But. did you hear the song the quartette sang in chapel one morning about who stole the lock from the Dormitory Door? That was a joke Miss Lewis pulled on the hunch. You see it was this way, the girls were looking forward to every week-encl when HBunt Jack, Doc and some of the other Tarletonites would come over with their block and marbles. Miss Lewis decided she would make both parties worry a little. so just as the sun was peeping over the horizon she slips quietly out of her room and takes the lock from the front door. When the girls come down for breakfast she, with a hard look on her face. tells them the tragedic story that the lock is missing and just for that not a boy that was at the Dump on the preceding night shall return until the lock is returned. Of course. everybody says Roses. but when the news is broken to Roses he swears his innocence but cannot give an alibi. This goes on for two days with every one making it miserable for uRoses. when Miss Lewis gets careless and leaves the lock on her table. So when Arline comes down on Wednesday night for help on Span- ish she sees the lock on the table, and. unnecessary to say, there was much rejoicing by the select few on the next day. But listen. my children, and you shall hear how Mr. Riley finds out so much. I fully realize I am compromising myself when I tell this. but I think it has been a secret and mystery long enough. Many have been the hours he has spent with me finding out the secrets of his charges. I do not tell him all. because I like to keep him guessing and he has been such a good sport about it I did not have the heart to tell our secret. The question I have heard asked more lately is. uwhy did the girls bob their hair? I have some pretty straight dope on that. but I will admit I have not heard all the testi- monials. Isla says so that she could sleep later. because she would not have to get up and eom'a it before breakfast. Arline says to spite Bunt. Mollie Belle says, ubecause it looks keen. Louise says. because they called me a piker. Leoti said, she wanted to see if she couldn't shock the public. I for one condemned it to the utmost until a new mem'aer was added to the Faculty; now I am for it strong. Now that I have told my secrets, I would like to know if the honor system should be introduced in Tarleton would I be supposed to turn in all the couples that linger with me on their way home from the show and church? It would lreak my heart to do it. but my honor cannot be triHed with. ...y.........,.m.mu... mu... umnu... unum... mun. .mum.a...vm. y.y.......y.m.... NinNy-uiuo TARLEONITES vs. MERIDIANITES. Now the Meridianites dwelt in a valley toward the South. and they called them- selves a war-lilte generation. Annually. as was their wont, they made war upon their neighbors round about. even the Tarletonites, and harrassed them exceedingly. More- over. every autumn they made sundry invasions into the regions lying far to the East and West and also into the plains country to the North. even beyond the Bosque. Furthermore. in the eighth year of the reign of Wilson the Great, the Meridianites said among themselves: Let us get together now. all our mighty men of valor, and make an end to our opponents once and forever. Then uprose the mighty chief of the Meridianites and thus addressed his people: Let it even be so. for behold my father dwelleth among the Stephenvillites. and he hath sent a message to me that this season the Tarletonites are weaker and more unwarlike than is their wont. and that they are ripe for slaughter. Now, when those things reached the Tarletonites. great fear fell upon them. and they quakecl in their hoots exceedingly. But Daddy the Mighty. the most warlike of the Tarletonites, called together the warriors of his host and swore a great oath C'by gumij, and said: uWe will give the flesh of these Meridianites this season to the beasts of the held and fowls of the air. Whereupon his men took courage among themselves and said: Let it be so. Now it happened in those clays that there dwelt among the Meridianites Guys. a cer- tain nondescript tribe, without kith or kin. and always searching diligently for a sure thing. i So it came to passwn the fifteenth clay of the tenth month of the year I920, even Friday. the Meridianites gathered their forces and went up into the land of the Tar- letonites. and when they met them on a hilltop. called Hays Field. a great battle was fought. In the very first part of the battle it went sore against the Meridianites, for the Tarletonites prevailed against them and wounded them grievously. Then the Guys, looking on from afar ofl. began to make preparations for a sudden Hight. since. judging from the dust of the battle. the strugle was not going as they had told each other so. After the battle had raged a long time, the mighty struggle waxed warmer, the Meridian- ites not even yet conceding the victory, though forty-two of their precious number had fallen. At last both sides halted to rest, to carry off the dead. and care for the wounded. But while they were taking breath, one Fug, a mighty man of valor among the Tar- letonites. scowled his greatest scowl, gnashed his teeth. and spake as follows: Gird up your Ioins, 0 ye Tarletonites. Why should ye be slain in the land which your fathers took from the red men and gave unto you. I will make such a fight as a Meridianite never saw. When the Tarletonites heard this they took heart and said. Let us up and at 'em. And lo. it was so. Now it was that Monty, the Mighty Mogul. together with our men of valor. rushed upon the enemy like the bulls of Bashan and trampled the Meridianites under foot. Our men fell upon their uwarlike generation and smote them hip and thigh. and lo. the slaughter was very great. a hundred and two of their men having fallen and not one of our number being more than slightly wounded.

So you've cut off your hair little Tarleton girl, And covemcl your head with a mass of curl; Tho' you've made of your cheeks a rougeful sight, And powdered your face a ghostly white; Tho' you've Hunked nearly all your studies in school.

Farewell to thee is the song that the Staff must now sing to you, but before we go we must say that many and varied are the sources re- sponsible for the output of the finished CRASSBURR that you hold in your hands. For its development and completion. we are much indebted to Miss Walker for her painstaking efforts and helpful suggestions. to Miss Bier- schwale for her literary criticisms and kind encouragements. to Miss Black- shear for her numerous and appropriate cartoonhto these we wish to express our grateful appreciations. To those who indirectly caused the existence of such a product. we hrst remember Mr. W. J. Wisdom. because he made it possible for the GRASSBURR to pay its grocery bills and even to enjoy some of the lux- uries of life. Also. we are grateful to Dean J. Thomas Davis and Mr. Geo. O. Ferguson for their support and co-operation. In fact. we are so indebted to all the members of the F aculty that we would never get printed what we wish to say. And to our advertisers who have been so generous. to the people of the town who have assisted us so loyally. to our fellow students who have responded so nobly. we extend our thanks.

The dining tables at the Pittman hotel had been arranged in the 'form of an enormous T, completely filling the room.
