Pruitlcnl Class Of ,24 Q In the fall of '20 a very few grassburrs found rooting on the campust Through the winter months they kept very quiet. By the Spring they were, green and very tender, hul they were growing. The next year they had matured enough to chase about, They were not quite so tender. They had a welner roast; they tattened and they grew They ventured on a swimv ming party at Handy's Parke They came back t'reshened. Last year they were less shy. There were a, great many more grassburrs. Some were quite mature. These gave the football men a Christmas partyithey were yet young enough to have Santa Claus. By the end of the year they became dignmed-approaching Seniorhood makes one 50. They triumphed that year with a lovely Rainbow Banquet for the Seniors. Now, these grassburrs are ready to be harvested and make ready for the growing crops. Some of our yield dropped from the stem before time and left us. Following the leader grassburr. Mrt Carlton Downing, these same grassburrs have staged a costume carnival for The Grassburr ; they also gave a big time negro minstrelv- it was mean. Through the last three years of growing. this crop has been nutured by the most careful of grassburr growers, Miss Jewel Wurtzbaugh, assisted tor the last two years by Mr. Fred Wt Westemu'L She has also been helped by one of the members of the crop, Miss Alta Henson, who kept a record of our progress. As these grassburrs. too ripe to stick longer, leave he- hind the fresh. young burrs, we hang up before you, as an inspiration to all future burrs. a portrait 01' Mr John Tarlettm, the founder Of this field, 39 VIRTIE ALLARD . , ........

We Juniors, like any organized group, are wm-king to gain greater honors and go higher than any class be- fore us has done. As Freshmen we had a small class: as sophomores we increased our numbers little. but our spirit more Now, as JUNIORS we have a class, the largest and best that Tarleton has ever had. Our athletes have numbered more than those of all other classes combined. The football, basket ball, track, and baseball teams have drawn largely on our class; Purple T's are widely distributed among our players. Not alone in athletic events do we stand out, but alsu in literary events. Harbinson, Orton, and Walker have represented us in the Debating Club Our very able president. Ellis Kitchens, left us a short time before college closed; we regretted the loss, but in Abbie Joe Downing we have found a new leader who has successfully piloted us to Seniordum . not to say anything of his skillful direction of one of the most beautifully planned JuniorVSenior banquets ever given at Tarleton. Bessie Lea Sears has ably presided throughout the year as secretary. With Miss Tribble and Mr. Howell guiding our class, we have progressed, and we have been interesting We anxiously await the graduation of the Seniors so that we may step into their places. Now, not to forecast the weather, for Texas weather prophets are either fools or strangers . but to forecast the future of the class of '25, it will doubtlessly be the heartiest and most joyous one on record. 231:3; 1 0 2 4 .mtm 65 cuemAszsjs1mm -, , $ 39999 09.0 gauge Q4400 9600a 1 0 1 4 ,7 - v V 13. am 60 9 g ,,Vw,A no djn xgo W TV 77:17 $7 , 1 ;.-777; aggg 6 $g5 ggeaa egan 1' 9 277.7131. 71 , traumrfgl'; -; .7; ,1; , 5911', 1th irqvw oaee a m A H. mm .P with the dkmrmlnakion to receive training to m t the class durlngo m E23 The class responded to the activities of Ihe college wnh a determmntion and interest which is chamte'ristlc or the Tarlston spirit.

Football 9 Though stepping off 011 the wrong foot, Tax'letmfs Purple and White warriors of the gridiron ended the season in a blaze of glory. The old adage, after an adversity comes success was proven to the letter, for verily did they meet adverse conditions during the forepart of the season. First the man who had been trained for quarterbacks position withdrew from school, then with only four letter men to build to, the coaching department started molding a team. Abundant material was available but green andjnexperieneed men cannot cope with seasoned and experienced teams. As a result several weak clubs de feated us. But true fighting spirit and the best of instruction brought about a notieth able change, for ere the season closed several sealps of the strong hung in the belts of our Purple and White Warriors. Upsetting all dope, they defeated Decatur who had triumphed over the teams by whom we were beaten earlier in the season. As a climax the haughty and undefeated Abilene Christians were humbled here Thanksgiving day. TARLETON vs. CLIFTON Tax'leton's football season was opened by playing Clifton. Nothing but praise can be spoken for our team. Many of the men were playing their first, game of College football. The game was well played and marked by elean playing and sportsmanship. Neither team drew a penalty. Tarleton won from Clifton 21-0. TARLETON vs. GRUBBS In a hard fought football game The North Texas Junior Agricultural and Mechanical College of Arlington, Texas, won from Turleton 14-0. Tarletuu out played the .visitors for three quarters, but lost the game in the fourth quarter when Martin slipped thru tackle for eighteen yards and a touchdown. A few minutes later Holmes intercepted a pass and ran thirty yards for another touoh- down. Lee kicked goal both times. The Tarleton team put up a wonderful fight against the more experienced Grubbs team. The Tarleton team showed real sportsmanship throughout the game. At seven nTelock Tarletun students gave the Illembers of both teams a banquet, never to be forgotten, at the Tarleton dining hall. TARL ETON vs. WEATHHRFORD Tarleton 10st to Weatherford by a score of 27-6. IIipp, the fast, halfback, who caught a pass in the two minutes of the game and scored the winning touch- down for Alexander in the championship game last year, was the best ground gainer for Weatherford. 7 r m:na 31311111611138 SB 1111113 1 Football tauntinuem TARLETUN vs. S.

Joe Willianm 11nd Stover were knocked out in the second quarter. Menzies took Stoverk plaee 11t eenter. Jennings1 playing at right end was 11 feature. Several times the Fish were held for downs inside the ten yard line and Carlton kicked out of danger. They soured one touchdown on line plunges, another on 11 25 yard pass, and blorketl 111111 recovered 11 punt hack of Tarletonk goal line for the third. TARL 1TUN 1's, DECATUR At this stage of the season Tarleton's grizzled eave men showed much fight; also the tide f01'T111'leto11 8 season cl11111ged.Dee11tur had 11 hard fighting bunch and were dangerous every minute of the g111119.The3' made several nice gains by passing.

The line work of 811111 Fitzhugh was spectacular. In the first 11111f he i11te1- eepted two passes and r1111 for touehdowns. Jennings and Mnlloy play ed the ends well and made many tackles.

IVILDCATS Tarleton 13 Purple and White warriors closed 11 successful season by de- feating the A. C. U. Wildcats. It was one of the best games ever played 011 Hays Field. Tarleton out fought and out played the Wildcats, and incidentally spoiled their hopes for 1111 undefeated season. They had won from 1111 the best teams in West Texas and from the Lniversity of Dallas Tarleton s lineup was able to stop the plunging of Red Williu111s,the fighting fullback of the Wi111e111s.'11h11t was something no other team 111111 been able to do. 111 the third quarter Stev ens got loose through guard but W113 downed two 3111'ds from the goal line. With four downs to make two 3 111'ds 11nd a touchdown, Williams on silent signals plays hit the line three times in rapid succession.

MULLY MULLOY Mully is a mean man, the oldest 0n the team. He blocked many punts and stopped many passes Mully was gnod at spilling the inierference and gave a guud account of himself at every game KIDD STOVER Slover was one of the letter men back from last year. He not only looked big, but he made his oppo nems realize his size. In his two years at center he never made a bad pass. BOB ZEIGLER Bub came to us from last year's squad determined to be a letter man. He was a hard fighter and a cease less worker. He has lots of speed: he is a clean player, and in his two yFar's playing he has drawn only one penalty for offsidei DICK HAMPTON Dick played his season of real foot- ball: he was a man hard to handle; his side-steppiug with the ball was hard to stop. He wlll be long re membered for his long run in the Decatur game which changed the tide of Tarleton's football season ,4 for .. ALEX MENZIES Though Menzies was not given very many opportunities to show his true worth, he never failed when the test came. He was with Stnver for center: JOE WILLIAMS Jn-Jn the original 'tcave man'K Big Joe worked hve years to get on the varsity squad. Although not a star he could always be depended up- on and made his opponents realize that he was there. SAM FITZHUGH Fitzhugh was a fighting maui and feared by the opponents: eSr pecially when near the goal: he could just naturally handle the ball . He was an aggressive fighter: as a tackle he, often broke up bad plays before they well starterlt ALVIN PARRY He was a quarter back and a hlb man ram when it came to line plum: ingt He was like, lightning and when he tackled he tackled hard.

MAX MENZIES Max was one of the strong points in the Tarleton line. He was equally good on offense and defense. Max fought in a way that gladdened the hearts of all Tarletnn's fans JOHN HUNT Although Hum did not play regus larly. he was always ready and and anxious to give his best His way in the A C 0 game wa featured by Hie blocking; and pass- ing 01' several good passes. JACK JOHNSON Jack is full of grit and vigor; when he gels the ball he is hard to stop: he is fleet of foot and he has the coiimlence ol' 9very member of his gang'i We will have him as a half-back again next year. MAURY WITCHER Witcher is just a youngster but ho is a stawr and a fighter and with his determination he cinched for himself a berth an the first team. With his big bass voice, he kept up the spirit of the team. FAY TUNNEL Hico Bill nur quarterback is one who kept his training and also oneI who kept his head coal in tight places. The tighter the place the cooler he was. He was one 01' the most needed men or the team. We hope for him n9xt year.

CHESTER WEAVER Captain Buck Weaver with his cool head and fighting: spirit led the squad through an undefaated season on to Grubbs . Center was Buck's position. but he was as sure at shout- ing goals as any man that ever were the Purple and White DEWEY MULLOY Nlully was the very hast of run- ning guards that hzts ever hasketetl a hall in the Tarleton gym. Mully , while a guard, also could shoot goals when necessary, Due to his good playing he was elected Captain for 1925. We hope that he may have lhe opportunity to play Gruhbs out- side of their Cracker Box . uAL JENNINGS Al was always in the thick of the fight getting the hall from his opponents and freeing our goal from dangert He always showed light d was a sure shot at the goal, even from difficult angles. From the whistle to whistle he gave his very best In the teamt EARNEST BAKER Baker often surprised his appo- nents by his swiftncss on the court. He was a forward of the best type Baker always gave his best in every game, and did much to help Tarleton with Grubbs during the season for championship. LOYS LOVELESS Lnys was another one of the guards that helped defeat everything up to the tie with Grubbs in their Crackcr Box'K He was not only good at guard. but a crack shot at the goal when the chance was offered. Lnys always showed the right spirit, HERMAN HUBBY Hubby labored under very adverse conditions throughout the season as forward. He worked half the night for rations, kept his training and fought his best while in the game. This is the kind of spirit that rep- resents Tarleton. .-W1GRASSBU LEONARD BENNETT With two guards like Bennett and Mully, our defense was well nigh impenetrable. Bennett was hard to art by. He played well all the time and was one of the hardest lighters on the team. BRADY NIX Nix was a forward of the best type He would often slip from his npponen's and ring a pretty goal. Like the whole team, Nix always fought his hardest and never gave npe R L.

Jewel Wurtzbaugh. mam 1 9 2mm 4 mm GRAS SBURR; mm Mr. J. T. A. C. 0 One day as I was wandering about on the campus and admiring the beauti- ful surroundings of the college, my heart became sad with the thought that I, as a Sam, would soon be leaving this familiar scene. It was then that I fully realized what this college meant to me. I recalled all the gay times that I had had, all the friends that I had learned to love, and all the difficult lessons that I had met and mastered. My mind shot forward to the future. What would I be in the future? The first question I passed over as being unanswerable, but on the second one I stopped to ponder. Why, of course, the future of Tarleton would be as bright and successful as the past had been. The pastewhat had Tarleton been in the past? I stood still with amazement at the sudden realization that I, who had spent two years in this college, knew practically nothing about its history. A sudden longing to know something of its past took possession of me, and I determined to go on a search for information concerning it. As I turned to start on my quest, I beheld a young man of singular appear- ance coming across the campus toward me. I could not forbear stopping to gaze at him. As he come near, he smiled and spoke. For a moment I could do nothing but look at him. He was a handsome, stalwart, young manebut his clothes! He wore khaki trousers, a blue chambray shirt, and a college cap. Under his arm he carried a stack of books and some mechanical tools. As I watched him, he deposited his burdens on the ground and sat down. I could not restrain my curiosity longer, so I asked, UPardon me, Mister, but who in the world are you? You look like a rep- rmentative of this college. III am that all right, he answered. HBut who are you? I questioned again. til, oh, I am Mr. J. T. A. College, and his voice swelled with pride as he spoke. nBut your clothes? I interrupted. Oh, my clothes, he said with a shy smile, Hyou see it is this way. I try to represent the different parts of the college, so I wear this khaki for the boys, this chambrey for the girls, and as the faculty insisted upon it, I wear this cap to represent them. NSo you represent the college? I repeated. UNo, I am the college, he said emphatically. Aviva; 1 0 1 4 man hivv , womb. 166 V 034:8 8 13 URR' .. I gazed at him dumfounded for a few moments then pointing to the build- ings, I said, ttThey are the college. ttNo, you are mistaken. They are but the buildings wherein I reside. I am the spirit of the institution. Although I am always present, I seldom show my- self. I reveal my presence only to those who are interested in me and my wel- fare. Your thoughts of me have called me to your side. I know that you are wanting to find out something about my past life. Ask me what you will, and I will try to answer'it. I sat down beside him and said, ttTell me everything that you can think of. He began his story: HI came into being Septembei',.1899, when John Tarleton, a good old miserly man, bequeathed the major part of his estate for building me a home. This first building was a long rectangular wooden structure of two stories. It just had two classrooms and an auditorium. I was rather academic in nature then, and children from six to eighteen years were allowed to come to school in my home. Dr. Mae Alhaney was my first president. Mrs. Chamberlain, she was then Miss Ponder, taught English. Letis see, and for a moment he was lost in deep reflection. UYes, Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Gearreald went to school here. UWhaty Mr. Ferguson went to school here? I exclaimed in surprise. ttYes, I remember him well. He was an energetic boy; he came to school in a buggy, and he hitched his roan horse out there where the conservatory is now. All around here were thick bushes and trees in those days. After going to school here three years, he left only to return in 1913 as a member of the faculty. Mr. College was for a moment lost in his thoughts when I recalled him to the present with, HDid the college grow fast? HYes, yes, I forgot what I was doing. In 1904 the number of students had increased until it was necessary to double the building in size. In 1906 a Thurber man, Marston by name, donated enough brick to build a science hall. It was called the Marston Science Hall, and it was located about where the hospital is now. The campus was very small then, and it was enclosed with a wooden feneefi HI have been unusually lucky in being the heir of so many wealthy people. In 1908 a bequest of money from a loyal citizen of Erath County, Mrs. Mary Corn Wilkerson, made it possible to erect a modern brick dormitory for girls. A; $3 9111:? $131351? 1 In 1910 still another noble-hearted citizen, Mrs. Mollie J . Crow, left money for 11' the erection of a new brick administration building which was erected in 1915. 3t ttWhat became of the old building and the Science Hall? I questioned. :1: HThe wooden building was torn down, and the lumber was sold for a ; thousand dollars. There are three houses between here and town that were built 1 out of this old lumber. The Science Hall was torn down, and the bricks were used to build the Marston Conservatory which is now in use. During these years 1 in which new buildings were being added, there was a rapid increase in the number of faculty members and students. You can not imagine how proud I :W was when I could spread out into several buildings instead of being crowded i into one small house. But my prosperity was suddenly checked when in 1912, I during the presidency of Mr. Rogers, some trouble came to me. The character it of it I need not mention, but it was sufficient to cause a great slump in attend- ': ance. For several years I had a terrible struggle to live. In 1913 there were less than a hundred students enrolled here, and there were but three graduates. i You know we used to grant degrees here. J HDegrees? No, I didn 1t know that, I responded to his questioning 100k ,v at me. 1i TI can 't remember the exact timeY but I think it was from 1903 until 1908. 15 It was about that time that I became a Junior college. I ttWell, Mr. College, how long was it before you began to make progress 1 again? At this interrogation from mey he shook his head sorrowfully. Then, t after a short pause, he resumed his story. 1 HI struggled along going from bad to worse until my salvation came at it last in 1917. It was then that the people of Stephenville donated to the State J of Texas the entire school plant to be used as a nucleus for founding a Junior 1 Agricultural College as a branch of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of 1 Texas. This donation was accepted by the Legislature and approved by the Governor on February 20, 1917. Oh, the relief that came to my soul when I I realized that. the State had charge of me. From that time on I have moved t tEver forward, ever onward '. The first thing that the State did was to construct t the Agricultural Building, which was erected in 1919 at a cost, of $150,000. 1 After this several frame buildings were erected, among them were the boys, t t Fart, woodwork shops, and the dean's home, which is now used as the Senior Home for girls. In 1923 the gymnasium was built. It is one of the best of its kind in the State; used as an auditorium, it will easily seat two thousand people. HIn addition to these new buildings the campus, which was still very small, i was enlarged to forty acres, and a five hundred acre farm was added to my Ana 1 0 1 4 .mtyw, mm 0 R5? 3 13 URR; $11443 , , : property. When I became a branch of the A. and M. College, I automatically became a military institution. Mr. S. F. Davis was the first commandant, but the pressing need for an expert military leader resulted in the acquisition of Captain Ray W. Harris in 1922. The work of Mr. Davis and Captain Harris has made this one of the best military tchools in the State. No attempt was made to start a band until about four years ago when Mr. Hunewell was secured as a director. The band has now grown from a. small organization of nine members to one containing forty members. It has made Tarleton known all over the Statey ttThese last two years I have noticed a great improvement. Dean Davis has done lots for you, hasn't he? UHe has been the greatest director that I ever had, although I have had many worthy men, such as Drs. Bruce, Bramlet, Sandefer, and Cox, to guide my footsteps on the right pathW HThat 's a beautiful home of the dean is , I ventured to remark. HIt certainly is, and he deserves it too. It and the paved military drive do help the looks of things so much. The new dining room is another mark of my enlargement. I tell you, the old fighting spirit for which, I am proud to say, we have become famous has done much to gain me a position among the best junior colleges of this State. UI admire that spirit; I could not keep from catching it myself. It surely does show up in athletics. UI have always been strong for athletics. In my youth Howard Payne and Daniel Baker were my greatest rivals. Now it is Gruhbs, but the day will soon come when I will leave it as far behind as I have my former Brownwood rivals. There were confidence and determination in his voice, but nowhere throughout his conversation was there a trace of conceit or vanity. After a nod of assent from me, and a momenfs pause, I renewed the conversation. L ttCan you tell me anything about the bookstore or libraryrt ttHow came you to think of those? Now, be honest. Mr. CollegeIs hitherto soher face had broadened with a quizzical grin. I hesitated for a moment, then I cautiously replied, ' TI was kind of hungry for some candy, and then I happened to remember i the fifteen cents that I owe Mrs. Martin for keeping Tom Jones out over timeft itI thought that it must have been something of that kind. The best that , I can remember the bookstore and library used to he in the dormitory. When . the Administration building was erected, they were both moved into the room in which the library now is. The last few years have seen the library greatly mm 1 0 2 4 mm: :2 168 ' mm GRAS 813 mm Mm enlarged and the bookstore developed into an important. part of the college. To Mrs. Martin and Uncle Moody is due the success of these two essentials to college welfare. Throughout the last six or seven years the J-Tuc and the Grassburr have ably represented Tarleton in a literary way.H While we had been so long engrossed in our conversation, we had not heeded Time's flight. When we came to ourselves, the sun had long since disappeared, and twilight was settling down over all. With a realization of the hour we sprang suddenly to our feet. As Mr. College picked up his books, he said i'uefully, . HI have not worked to-day, but-y, and his face brightened-ttmy diligent students will do all the work that is needed to be done. My efficient faculty will keep them busy. ttI will vouch for that, I said heartily. I have enjoyed talking to you, for it is seldom that I find one who wishes to listen. I must go now, but in parting I wish to say that I, who have climbed this high on the ladder to success at the age of twenty-tive, intend to go higher. Do not think that I am boasting when I tell you that if you look for me in the future, you must turn your eyes to the top rounds of the ladder. The tone of his voice told me that he would realize his prophecy. As he wished me success and turned away, I whispered through the deepening shadows, HGood-bye and good luck to you, Mr. John Tarleton Agricultural College. eEtha Massingell. OUR DRILL FIELD You will fmd our drill field a windswept area of grassy land lifted to a beautiful elevation. These grounds stretch many paces to the north of a state highway. Here the downbeating rays of the summer sun are robbed of discom- fort by the gentle Gulf breezes. Shadows are unknown except from a few post oaks that adorn the field. These sturdy trees border at frequent intervals the winding driveway on the north. This field is a pastoral picture until it becomes a military field during the performance of parade and drill. eFloyd Nicholson. , A;KJW;1014MH 05:55 J Jr E1 WM. jaw 0 R59 tSPILRIS t A New Tarleton An 1 As I dream by my fire, I see a picture vivid and clear Of what Tarleton will be in some future year.

BURRleyww Soliloqug of Cl Counter Q As a mere tree in a dense forest, with red birds and blue wooing in my branches, my life was not so interesting as now.

As a counter in hThe Book Store my life is uncertainetire may break out and destroy me completely. Let us hope motel am the most reliable piece of furniture in the store. The cash register with its millions of coins and hot checks may be more valuable, but not so beautiful as the other articles. They make the other counters envious. The delicious candies make the mouth water; the glistening beads dance in the electric lights like sunbeams on a bright June morning. If I expressed what I have heard and what I have seen I would be a degraded and unappreeiated article. Especially is this true when the English department forces an argument about the K. K. K. upon the Storekeeper. It ended, however, very cleverly when the botany department, assisted by the manual arts, entered the bookstore. They all retired to their former places of business sticking to their views like a sick kitten to a hot brick. The maneuvers of Sunday afternoon are the most enjoyable of the season. At two o'clock the circus begins; the thrillingness of Djer Kiss; the fragrance of Three Flowers; the brilliaiiey of rouge all make the occasion.

One does not have to be a traveling salesman to travel, nor, for that matter, a sailor either. In fact, I was every thing but a good sailor when I shipped on the Cerro Azul as ordinary seaman. I left Tarleton in June, 1923, with a credit in English and a credit in South American History, and a burning desire to see some of that romantic country below the Equatort My intention was to spend a month or two in a South American city, where I could hear Spanish spoken, perhaps learn enough of the language to speak it a little myself. So it was, in J une. that I shook the dust of the class rooms from my feet-and stepped into the mud of Worldliness. Does it not take money to travel? Yes, it does not. After I had paid some of my school debts I could not have bought enough shoe strings for a one legged man! It is well to have money, yes, but money is not everything. A man is wealthy if he has health and nerve. But it does not require a great amount of nerve to travel. once you get started. It is like jumping into cold water; you know perfectly well that you will get along, one way or another, once you are in, but you hate like the mischief to jump. Two weeks after I had left old Tarleton I found myself on the docks in a Southern California city, watching the great ships sail in and out of the harbor. , California is a beautiful state. perhaps the most beautiful in the Union. I had ; gone there. however, not to admire the scenery, but to ship on a steamer bound i for any country below the Equator. Well, there were the ships; all I had to do was to find one that needed a seamen. I searched two days before I found a ship. The hPerm Azul was taking on a cargo for New Orleans. She would sail the following day at sunrise. I held a council of war among myselft The Finance Department informed me that there was not even a hamburger left in the treasury. That was not enough to live on, but more than enough to decide on. At least I would see the Panama Canal and some of the islands of the Caribbean With this eonsolation I took up my sea bag and walked up the gangplank. By-the-way, if you ever travel on-your-own-hook never take more baggage than you absolutely have to havkit gets in the way dreadfully. On the uCerro Azulil there were two fellows from the University of Arizona, and one from the University of Texas, doing the same thing that I was doing- taking a course under that great teacher, Dr. Experience. We became good buddies; we were on watch together and messed at the same table. The re- mainder of the crew was mostly foreigners.

Steaming south in the month of June with the sun coming up on the port side and diving beneath the waves on the starboard, and, at night, the moon! Ah. moonlight on the ocean. It is no wonder that men are restless after they have once felt the spell of moonlit nights at sea! The wonder is that more Americans are not following Neptune's beckoning! At three oleloek in the morning of the eleventh day the UCerro Azul Hhove to near the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal. We lay on the placid waters of the bay until seven tfelock, when our time came to enter the channel leading to the first look, the Miraflores. The Canal is about fifty miles long. It has an average width of six hundred and fifty feet, and the minimum width is three hundred feet. Ten hours were required for our ship to go from the Pacific to the Atlantic. The ship eased into the lower of the Miraflores looks. with the aid of the eleetrie Hmulesll. and the great doors were closed behind her. The water began to boil up from the bottom of the look. and the ship was lifted to the water level of the next higher lock. The two great doors ahead then swung open. and the ship was pulled by the electric ttmules to the next lock, where the same process was repeated. Night was coming on when we stood out to sea. A few nelieans. clumsy birds that they are. were searching for their evening meal. They seem very dignihed flying along over the placid waters of the bav. but. when a prospective dinner is sighted, they fold up their wimzs and Dlop down into the water like so much inert rook. Their beaks seem large enough to carry a week's rations. The scavengers of the hay. the porpoises. were looking for refuse from the limit. A large school of them followed us out to sea. sometimes snortinq about the how. darting ahead to show their sneed. or flinging themselves high in the air and turning veritable somersanlts in the ahanrlon of plav. The lung ground swells glided under the keel 0f the HCerro Ami mmsimz her to roll eonsiderahly. A 0001. off-shore wind sprantr 11p to whistle thrnueh the wireless serials. The Caribbean promised to not he as calm as had been the Pacific. The magnificent scenery of Panama slid away behind us, was soon but a background, dark and looming in the twilight. on the edge of the sea. The tang of the salty sea; the lights gleaming from our masts. the steady throb of the powerful engines in the depths of the ship. the splashing at the lyiiws and the gurzle under our counter as the HFerro Aml rose and fell to the long ground sWells rolling in from the outer waters-all had their effect upon our imagi- nations as we lounged on the deck. It seemed so unreal, so like the story hooks. To the professional sailors it meant nothing: to us four school boys it was the realization of our dreams. it was adventure! Visions of the great Spanish Galleons, small as they would seem beside a modern ship, flitted across our minds! We pictured great battles between the Galleons of Spain and the Privateers of England. out there on the swells of the Caribbean. To us it cer- tainly was adventure. - The two or three days following., were not so pleasant. The sea rose ehoppily, Neygxmm 1 Q 1 4 KYLRVWAT 164 to buffet the bows, to break and send flying showers of spray over the decks. The wind blew gustily and it set in to rain. Masses of gray, rolling clouds hovered overhead. Rough weather was ahead. The bosonk whistle called the watch together to make everything fast. We hurried about the pitching decks and were soaked with the rain and flying spray. In the region of my stomach a pain began to grow. The second night out, the tropic storm broke on us. Flash after flash of Vivid lightning streaked across the lowering heavens. The blind- ing spray swept the decks. The ship pitched and rolled, creaking and groaning. Blow after blow struck her, wind and wave, like the concussion of mighty guns. The huge waves piled up, but the smoking crests were flattened by the force of the wind. The bow would rise into the air, then lurch drunkenly shipping tons of salty water as her nose plunged into the great rollers. Needless to say we lost all desire for food. The gale blew itself out the following afternoon, but the seas continued to run, less violently, however, until the following day. Our appetites returned in proportion as the sea became less violent. The fresh water supply had become a little salty, entirely too salty to satisfy. But the steward was prepared for just such an emergency; we had ice cold limade from then until we reached port. A half cup of lime juice will make a tive-gallon can of limade. This lime juice kills the salty taste and makes the water drinkable. The following night was very warm. We were sleeping below with the port-holes open. cotton, from the Univeu-nty of Arizona was sleeping on the top bunk, next to the open port. The waves began to pile up again, as they have a habit of doing when the Gulf stream runs counter to the wind. The ship rolled heavily to starboard and part of the Caribbean came splashing in through the open port, Tbapsousing the man in the upper bunk. He closed the port im- mediately. It was much too warm to sleep below with the port Closed so we took our mattresses up to the boat deck. We had hardly closed our eyes when a rain squall set in. Sleeping on deck was out of the question ; we hastened below, but it was still too warm to sleep. We just did not sleep; we went to the galley, drank some strong coffee, and talked until time to go on watch. The bane of my existence was shining bruss-work. I thought that after so long a time I would rub it all away, but it never seemed to decrease, and it always needed more rubbing-so the boson had a habit of telling me. A sailor must be able to do everything from tying a hangmalfs knot to cleaning woode work and scrubbing decks. It took us seven days to run from the Canal to New Orleans. Off our starboard we saw the island of Cuba, a green gem in a blue sea. Flying fish were as common as Irishmen in Dublin, and a shark was not a strange sight. It would have been a lovely place for the ship to sinkeI dmITt think. The last three days and nights were superb. We lounged about the decks, when off watch, and talked of our schools. We told yarns and sang our school songs. mm GRAS 313 u 1m; mm iii? E7173 0n Ye Tarleton rang out over the waves of'the Gulf of Mexico, as did the songs of HArizona and HTexas . Our schools seemed more dear to us as we talked of them out there. In New Orleans we visited everything of interest from Canal Street to the old Spanish Fort. We spent the Fourth of July in the French City. In all we had traveled about six thousand miles and had spent seventeen days at sea. We had seen the Canal and the outlines of the Central American countries and Cuba. We would have gone on with the ship to Buenos Aires had we not desired to return to our schools in September. After a week in New Orleans we parted, perhaps never to meet again. So, I say, anyone may travel if they really wish to do so. -Robert Sledge.

It has denied many people the honor of greatness. Many homes have been made sad because of it. Indeed, many nations have been denied a period of prosperity and happiness because of jealousy. A man is not a man if he cannot see his fellowman rise above him in the business world without that spirit of envy. We should help the person who has the necessary talent to be our superior. A compliment is due the person from us who has succeeded where we have failed. We do not deserve any honor of greatness if we cannot smile on the honest successes of our adversaries. An honest success deserves credit but a triumph tempered with jealousy should be scorned. Jealousy always carries with it unhappiness, disorder, rivalry, and warfare. No age of true prosperity of a nation is found in :1 time of jealousy. He is al- ready defeated who falls victim to this plague. Jealousy should be looked upon with shame and as something to be avoided. eLeroy Brown. His Story 9 tWilh Apologies to Nobodw I'll tell to you a story.

Modern Superstitions, Customs and Prej udices 4t Q We are all apt to laugh at the superstitions, practices, and customs of people of whom we read, without considering the absurdity of some of our own. We have these that are local or sectional and others that are almost universal. Some of them can be traced to their origin; others are borne along on the waves of tradition with little explanation as to their beginning. Many of us would like to feel that we are not influenced by the superstitious ideas that we see sway our companions daily; we yield to such practices in a jeeting, apologetic mannei: One common superstitious belief is that it is a bad thing to bring a hoe into the house. A mother, when her child asks why 21 hoe should not be brought into the house, can give no satisfactory answer. Her reply is that they say it brings bad luck? Soianother generation grows up with a superstitious prejudice against a perfectly harmless action. If a group of us are walking or driving and a black cat crosses our path, it is not unlikely that we should all see it at the same instant and not improbable that we should all make the same i-eularks--the reader knows what the remarks would be. Then, when some pair made the same remark at the same instant, they would likely look their fingers together and make a wish. All of us would insist that we do not believe in such practices, but still, since we know of no harm that has come from their observance, we do that. If I were with u companion who did not follow me around a tree when we came to one in the path, I suppose I should follow him around it. If we spin it chair around on one leg, some one is most likely to remind us of the ill luck we are inviting, and tell us we had better turn it back the other way; neither can we raise an umbrella in the house without receiving a warning if there is anyone present to give it. We are especially afraid to break a mirror because the period of time through which misfortune follows those trespassers is so very long. When we are sweeping; we religiously pick up pins, because, as we murmur to ourselves: See a pin and pick it up All that day you'll have gand luck. But ttSee a pin and let it lie To luck you'll say good bye. Many of our superstitions are local, or are observed more by people of some occupations than they are by those of others. In Missouri hogs are not killed or potatoes planted except in the Hright light of the moon . When a thunder storm comes up, all cats and dogs are kicked out of the house because Htheir tails draw lightning . If a t'thunderponyls bird is heard calling at daybreak, or a snake that is killed early in the morning turns helly-up in dying, it is certain to min before night. In many places if it is dry and the people feel that a rain is needed, they turn the snake belly-up or hang it on alfenee, which is thought to be just as satisfactory to the Powers that govern the rain. If it does rain in the afternoon, some one will say HI told you so; I killed a snake this morning and hung it on the fence. We all do this, although we know, or should know, that when conditions favm' rain snakes are nmre likely to crawl about, and are, therefore more likely to be found and killed. Yet we speak as if we thought. the dead reptile over on the field fence had marshaled the clouds and brought the needed refreshment. If a Missouri house wife drops her dishcloth. she says company will come before nighlt The significance of this common occurrence varies with the locality. for in some places it is said that some one is coming hungry if it happens If we do not get warning from the disheloth that com- pany is coming perhaps the mek will crew at the door and m've the notice. The fortunate state just mentioned should have no ft'cckled maidens for there they believe that if they arise at daybreak on the morning of May Day and bathe their faces in the dew, the prominent pigments will be dispersed. Missouri cows are also fortunate. for if one loses her end, the owner knows what kind of rag to give her, In Texas we do not kill horned toads 01' dry land tel'rapins because, if we do, the cows will go dry. But the terrapin is not so considerate of us for, if he gets us by the finger, he will not turn loose until it thunders. We say that: A whistling girl and a crowing hen Always come to some bad end. The crowing hen usually does come at once to some had end although the whistling girl may live Hnigh on to a hundred without any marked ill luck. More of us might carry the left hind foot of a rabbit that was killed in the grave yard at midnight, it' we were not so uncertain about the midnight programs of our departed friends. Many are the prejudices that the innocent owl family has heaped against it. For almost every locality there is one or more species of the owl to whose hoot there is attached a hair raising mystery and to whose appearance an evil omen. These omens of the owl are often taken more seriously than many others. One middle aged lady ill particular was known to insist that her son kill a small screech owl which he had captured, because she had a horror for birds of that species. W'hen she was a child she said, her baby brother died, and as the casket containing the body was being carried from the front door to the hearse a serth owl lighted upon the gate post and gave its screeching cry. From that day, she said, dated her terror at the sight 01' sound of an owl. Among the local superstitious ideas are those concerning the ability of certain persons to locate underground water or water witches as they are called. A common method of determining the location of water is by means of a key and hook. The key is placed midway between the covers of the book and mid- m GRASSB mm; aux way between the ends and there bound fast. Two persons perform the operation by supporting the book by the key head on the end or their index fingers. When the book is well balanced in their hands, it will remain so for a few seconds and then, without apparent cause turn to one side and fall. On being returned it will repeat the action, continuing until, according to the water witches, it has turned and fallen as many times as there are feet to a vein of water. At this point it will reverse the direction and turn and fall the exact number of times that it did before. Those who practice the operation theorize that the book turns and falls once for every foot, and that when it hesitates for a moment before falling, rock is indicated. They strengthen this argument, by showing that the book never hesitates after it has reversed its direction. Not all of our modern superstitions are harmless and seemingly negative in effect. In certain localities while a person is suffering bodily pain and blistering fever, his attendants turn the feathers of a black hen under the bed to drive away the disease, not knowing a better way to give relief. In other places corn liquor is almost worshiped for its healing power. It is used for medicine for all ailments and all ages, even babies in arms. Even though Illally of these customs are observed with a blush and a joke we have otherspvorganizations that we can offer no ext'use for other than that they live in our love for mysticism or secrecyhthat we are not ashamed of, but are pleased to parade in openly. Among these are some of our most dignified lodges and clubs. With ourselves so swayed by superstitions and superstitious customs and mystic traditions why do we chuckle so when we read about those of more ancient date? HMerritt Hines. JD Ode To The.

Peter- sonis cries of agony attracted a few boys who came to his assistance and also succeeded in placing K1'ae111e1' in his own room and under guard. The affray took place in the hallway 0f the sumptuously furnished barracks while most of its inmates were at a negro minstrel. Peterson, perhaps, owes his life to Jasper Jenkins' and Marion Strieglerts valiant efforts in obtaining medical aid. Striegler procured an ice bag and other equipment from the dormitory and hospital while Jenkins enlisted the services of the nearest doctor in record time. Striegler was assigned to guard duty outside of Kraemel'ys window along the south side of the barracks. He walked his post in a military manner and challenged everybody from Mikell to old man Fulcher, the nightwatchman. After an hour and a half, Stl'ieglel' was relieved and he retired for a while. The majority of the barracks boys formed a guard to escort K1'ae111e1' to the Erath County jail; Kraemer in some way loosed himself and ran for dear life in the direction of the tiWhite House ; the guard pursued him bitterly, but he made a clean getaway. Sergeant Bethel, an ex-sel'vice 1111111, somehow arrived at the conclusion that Kraemer might be hiding in the vicinity of the oil mill, Bethel began to throw a cordon around this supposed place of refuge; dispatching all of his men to one of the college trucks on the campus, he gave them commands to rest themv selves and await developments. Bethel immediately sent to the Fort for re- inforcements, and Jenkins and Stx'iegler reported for duty. Bethel sent them due north for a distance of four 01' five miles into the suburbs of Stephenville to conduct a thorough search for Kl'aenlel'. 111 the course of three or four hours Jenkins and Stl'ieglet' reported that nothing was found except that they had mistaken 1111 old cow, basking in the moonlight, for Kraemei'Y and that they had almost committed a serious mime right then and there.Fu1'thermo1'e they reported that UFat Carter had been clubbed into insensibility, supposeclly by K1 aeme1, but that he had been ca1ried to the hospital for medical aid. By a clev erly contrived 1'use,Bethel s posse located Kraemer at the ttWhite House , and he was immediately assigned to a bed for the rest of the night, pending an investigation of Petersolfs and Carter's conditions. Kraemer will waive a preliminary hearing and await grand jury action by the F. L. E court, the highest in the land. Feeling is running pretty high, but Bethelis men are taking every precaution to prevent mob violence. . There is a 1 athe1 strong undercurrent of opinion at the Fort that the Whole affair was a flame up, that Peterson 's blood is really red i11k,a11d that in reality it was a wickedly conceived p1'a11k.K1'ae111e1 is a ve1y modest un- assuming 111an.Really Striegler and Jenkins are at a loss to know just why he committed this texrihle c1ime.Welton Ward says he wouldnit live at the Fort Ua- tall ,cause he s from Dallas where they don't play so rough, and be- sides he cant stand the sight of blood. -S.
