PEPDC UTOIR] T the friend of the students, the faculty humorist, the man indispensable about the college; to him who came as a pioneer to Sul Ross, and has been such a tremendous factor in its making, we, the students of ’23, in token of our unbounded and sincere appreciation of the man and his work, dedicate this, the third number of THE BRAND, to Mr. Victor James Smith.

His complete undoing grew out of his failure to try. When he refused to try, he lost his money—a loss of small consequence, since money may always be secured again; he, in addition, lost his courage, his virtue, and his manhood—an irretrievable loss, because a man has but one life to live and but one character to build. All is lost to him who does not try. The fine spirit of the West is the spirit of try. Timid men believed the Trans-Pecos was a desert; courageous men have made it a grazing empire. Men lacking in vision declared that a college in this sparsely populated area was a fantastic dream. You have made this dream come true. The college is today a living, functioning thing, loved at home and respected abroad. May this spirit of try so permeate the atmosphere of our college that all who are a part of it may come to live the philosophy expressed inthe words of Lincoln when he said, “I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to the light I have”. 13 MR. P. M. PENROD, B. C. S., Auditor, and Instructor in Commerce. MISS CLEMMA BILLINGSLEY, L.

You, thinking back, can feel your record clean, Can feel your duty done, your work well-ended, And with delight, of pleasure past can dream; If you can face your future, high aspiring, With no regret for days at Sul Ross spent, Can face it happier, nobler, firmer, truer Than when Sul Rossward first your steps were bent; If, when in later life you’ve won your laurels, Conquered success—your character tried by fire—, Your memory of Sul Ross is full of beauty, Your Sul Ross friendships true through perils dire; If, when at last you face the great Hereafter,— Your record clean and sweet as at your birth—, Your College mem’ries still have aught to cheer you, Your pride in them commends your soul’s rebirth; If throughout life—throughout to death’s dark gateway— Your thoughts, serene can wander back to youth And you can feel that life ' s been more worth living For being a Sul Ross student, then in sooth, Sul Ross is proud to have you; and your presence Shall laud your College to the skies, my hopeful youth, ' —Everett Westerfield, Freshman Clas ?. 1923 at slBRANPO A SOPHOMORE POEM From the hill we’ve climbed so often To the Sul Ross steps of stone, Not a stone upon the campus But we claim it as our own. We, the happy Three Year Sophomores, None hereafter take that name! For our class was last year high school When Sul Ross began her fame. Then cheer and cheer again, Class, For our record true, And a class that’s worth remembering All the long years through! And so we sailed the College sea, Our colors white and green, And found each sailor true and staunch In every changing scene. And we’ve made a lucky voyage With most of us still here; All landing in the calm, blue port Of this memorable year. Then cheer and cheer again, Class, As done its course must be, The good old Three Year Sophomore Class Of nineteen-twenty-three! -Margaret Ingerson, Sophomore C ' ass.

When the Sul Ross Normal College opened its doors in 1920, about forty Second Years were present for enrollment—the nucleus of our now aggressive and learned Sophomores! That year was one of many good times and much enthusiasm. At the end of the year we marched up to get our diplomas with a vague wish somewhere in our anatomy that all of us could come back next year to be college freshmen. And most of us did return next year, and, as before, we outnumbered any class in school. Miss Anna Cecil Evans, our class sponsor for that year, so faithfully led us in our social life that her memory will long shine within our hearts. Our in¬ domitable spirit found expression in the flying of the Fish Flag, class parties, hay rides, weenie roasts, hold-ups, and numerous other enjoyable occasions. The present year has been the brightest in the annuals of our college experience. Miss Eva Sweet was chosen class sponsor, and the selection has proved preeminently satisfactory. True, this year has not been so full of frolic and adventure as was our Fish year, yet we have not failed to get our portion of the good times. In fact, as becomes our exalted position, our time has been occupied to a greater extent with the sterner duties of life preparation. The Brand staff is composed of Sophomore students ex¬ clusively, which indicates that this class is a group who do things. Our purpose is to carry this habit of achievement with us on our journey after we leave Sul Ross, accepting the duties of our position in life with the same earnestness and enthusiasm with which we accepted the joys and sorrows of student life, striving to be true to the training that we received while passing as dignified and invincible Sophomores of ' 23. 30 A LADY Motiewu?

We elected Walter Caldwell president, Herbert Hext vice- president, and Altha Yates secretary and treasurer; we were also very fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Stigler as our class sponsor. At the first roll call, we had fifty-three Fish present, but, sad to relate, several were snared by the ways of the outside world, and now only about forty swim in our seas. Our class took the lead in school affairs, and gave a picnic soon after school began. This picnic was a complete success, although we did have an unexpected stroll of about three miles when the truck broke down. Since then we have given several other picnics and parties in order to keep up our good start, and at present we have several things up our sleeve. The Freshmen have also taken the lead in athletics. Our basket-ball team has a record to be proud of; we lost only one game in fifteen, and that was the first one. When the regular season came along, we showed what we could do by placing five men on the squad. In tennis we also won honors. Frank Cross on the first team, and Johnnie Weyerts on the second. The strength of the Freshmen was shown when they captured both places in the popularity contest. Altha Yates and Ward Weakly, among the girls and boys respectively. Next in our school calendar, came “Fish Day”. This included a program in Chapel, in which our talented members favored the audience by reciting, singing, and playing for them. Mabel Totter gave a reading; Louise Noble, a vocal solo; and Louise Berkely, a piano solo. The rest of the program was carried out in front of the building. At noon we put up our flag in the presence of the whole school, or rather tried to, and only failed because some one had stolen the flag earlier in the day. We then put up our colors and kept them up. Moreover, I think the whole school will agree that if you want to win a fight, you should not choose Pauline Terry or Winifred Terrell as opponents. The next thing on our program was our entertainment of the Sophomores. It was a “kid” party, and believe us it lived up to its name. We played “kid” games for several hours under the leadership of Maurine McDonald; and then after refreshments, we were honored by two delightful readings by Mr. Stigler and Miss Avnesworth—by the way, you should have seen Mr. Stigler in short breeches. After the party, several Second Years showed their ignorance by trying to kidnap Walter. A fight resulted, and you should have seen those Second Years next day! sraem THE BEANERY C Na SUL THE ' YONGE5T CONTRlBUTtYLTO THE Co AN FUND HUNTERS Chuck IN TliE WIIDS 3JLHOUCTTES JOHN BYRON 39 Trej ' hman Jnapj ' hots TALEY ' 9 : m , |v?

On October the fourth these students met and formally organized the Second Year Class. John Prude was elected president; Birdie Brenholtz, sectretary and treasurer; and Beth Cotter, yell leader. The class chose the motto—“Climb though the way be rugged”; adopted white and gold as class colors, and the daisy as class flower. Mr. Gibbs was the faculty member selected as sponsor. A. B. Chancey and Vida Mae Johnson represent the Second Years in the Athletic council, and Charles Simpson is a member of the Student Activity Committee. The members of the Second Year Class, like students everywhere, enjoy both the work and the pleasures of school life. We excel not only in our studies, but in athletics and social activities as well. We are proud of the fact that one of our number, Ernest Barnett, was elected president of the Athletic Council of the college, and that we wrested basket-ball honors from the Freshmen. Among our pleasures the Hallowe’en celebration is partnership with the Sophomores, and the banquet of the eighteenth of November given us by the First Years stand out as landmarks. In our work the names of Cheyney and Green, Wentworth and Smith, Hitchcock, and Shakespeare may be forgotten someday; but our class history, like Tennyson’s brook, will go on forever. Only a small part of our history lies in the past. Of that unknown future the Second Years ask only this: that we may meet again a united Freshman Class in the friendly halls of Sul Ross. THERE’S MUISC IN THE AIR: A NEW VERSION There’s music in the air, When the evening moon is nigh, For jazz and hymns are sailing Through the calm and starlit sky. Mingled with the static sound, With its grating war profound, While we list enchanted there, Comes the music in the air. There’s music in the air, When the infant morn is near, For the Night-Hawks still are playing For many a listening ear. Cornets toot, and fiddles squeak; Brass-drums boom, and fifes do shriek, While we listen nightly there To the music in the air. There’s music in the air, When the midnight breezes die, For Dallas still is sending Through the fair unclouded sky. Adjus L your earphones, listen well; That duct certainly is swell, Primadonnas greet us there, In the music in the air. —Glenn Tucker, Second Year Class 45 ‘V ■� P � Vtnl • -j-T v-■’ HE.

Mr. Ward Simpson was elected president; Olin Lincecum, vice-president; Mrs. Jewel Iluie, secretary; and Truman Pouncey, treasurer; and Miss Lillian McElroy, Miss Lois McClure, Truman Pouncey, and John Adams were appointed as a social committee. Miss Lucy Keblinger honored the first years by becoming their sponsor, and Master Temple Pouncey was adopted mascot. Blue and gold were chosen for class colors, and ' ‘Maximum is our password’’ was selected for the class motto. The first meeting of the social committee arranged to entertain the Second Years with a Mexican dinner on the evening of October the eighteenth, and an invitation was sent them by the little mascot. Meanwhile, on account of his eyes, it became necessary for the president to leave school, and the vice-president was thrust unceremoniously into office. At this critical time, while preparing for the rapidly approaching fiesta, the wise counselor, Miss Keblinger, proved her efficiency; and the hospitality of the First Year Empire was saved. Picture the guests and hosts in a gayly decorated dining room, while an Edison was playing “La Paloma” to give a Spanish atmosphere. On the snowy tables which encircled the room little favors in riding habit and base¬ ball costume had been placed; on each was pasted the face of a participant, so each individual found his place by seeking his own smiling countenance. After a toast had been extended to the guests, and acknowledged by their executive officer, a round of burlesques was put in motion, each person assuming the name of the one at his right. Mr. Gibbs, Second Year sponsor, capped the climax, by saying, “I am Miss Mable Clare Hinson, and my highest ambition is to run and elevator in the Woolworth building.” When the chili was served, in spite of the chill autumnal night, there was a unanimous exhibition of fans, and water pitchers were emptied in rapid succession. At last the dinner party was concluded; and after the Second Years had assured their hosts that they had indeed had a “Hot Time”, the classes returned to their homes, where it was said that some of the non-western members read Snowbound by way of diversion. We next find the First Years grouped about a dancing campfire at the beautiful Kokernot Springs. Above them, tall cottonwoods are swaying in the evening breeze, and nearby, a trickling brook enters merrily into com¬ petition with the musical laughter of the jolly crowd. Here marshmallows were toasted and eaten, and toasted and eaten until the typ cal cowboy- student, Arbie Moore, dryly remarked that it was quit or “bust” with him, and the others followed the suggestion. They then induced the typical cowboy to sing some western melodies, which he did with such enthusiasm that they would have done credit to the most picturesque cowpuncher that ever roamed the plains. When at last, in the deepening twilight, the stars began to appear one by one, the gay picnic was ended in anticipation of other gala times in the spring term. 60 A MIX-UP MASCOT THINGS PAT EISICI: IS A ViRTUG WHAT’S THE JOKE?

J. T. Reynolds was elected the Supreme Judge; and whenever prisoners were brought before him for sentence, they quaked in their boots before his harsh but just decisions. The prosecuting attorneys were A. B. Chancey and Byron Yates, and between the two of them acquittals were far and few between. Bernie Willhoite made a very honorable record as sheriff— not having a single prisoner escape. Ward Weakley was a very efficient County clerk, and kept the records of the court very well, in spite of attempts to bribe him. The Court met every Wednesday night, and woe to the ones whose names were brought before it. Two or three cases were tried at every meeting, and just punishment was meted out to the guilty persons. In only one or two cases were those indicted freed; once, though, we had a hung jury, in spite of the threats of the judge. The most important case tried, no doubt, was that of Albert Phillips, who was tried for causing Arthur Skinner to leave school. 59 00 Mask Slipper Dramatic Club CHAV SlHPJO ' i W A smuit im BUNtON Sum jfcNftltf MISS mn piscuoa DAT BAKER.

On how many delightful picnics it has carried him! On how many rides down town, celebrating a victory or advertis’ng a game! On what numerous other journeys has it been his companion! The ancient, abused truck reminds me somehow of an old dog, always faith¬ ful to his master, no matter how much he was mistreated. For the truck always was faithful and reliable (except on that disastrous Freshman picnic to Ranger Canyon) ; and it was mistreated badly at times. The benefits to be gained from contact with the truck are many. If you desire to develop your arms and shoulders, just try cranking it some cold morning. It is said that Joe Strecher used to drive one of these trucks be¬ fore he became a wrestler. Or if it is other exercise than that, which you desire, just try to drive the thing about an hour with four people on the seat. The whole Freshman Class has developed great endurance powers for long distance walking, since that memorable trip to Ranger Canyon. I think the school can turn out at least ten men who could qualify to drive trucks loaded with dynamite over a road four feet wide. In fact, from the noise that arises whenever it hits a bump, one would think that the truck carried some kind of explosive all the time. Furthermore, it is common gossip that, from the effects of riding in the truck under the pale moon¬ light, three couples have been seriously wounded by Dan Cupid; and there are several others that are offering mighty good targets to the little marks¬ man. Two further benefits closely connected with each other are the de¬ velopment of the ability to take hard knocks, and the ability to ride a bronc. In fact, it is said by some that the truck resembles the rubber bathtub referred to in one of the essays in Tanner’s collection: ' ‘Getting in is a science, staying in an adventure, and getting out an art”. Anyone that has taken several trips in that much abused truck has at least the courage, if not the ability, to ride any bronc in the world, or to trade blows with Jack Dempsy. Finally, we have its benefit to Mr. Marquis; for every time we have a picnic, it means about three bales of hay for his cow. Guy Smith, Freshman Class. Book V The College l]ear TIIE CLIFF-DWELLERS T HE scene is the second floor of the Clifford boarding-house between the hours of four and twelve, p. m. Through the windows of the different rooms, we have a glimpse of the street. The view takes in at a glance the everchanging colored mountains and the College in the distance. Hence, by merely a dash to the window, every girl can tell just what color of tie He wears, just who is passing, and whom He is with. The various rooms, which in the morning are in order, are now in negligee. The dressers and tables are loaded with pictures of girls in evening gowns, proper young Beau Brummels with sleek hair parted in the middle, perfume bottles, hats, empty talcum-powder cans, satin sUppers, a profusion of ivory, gloves, cold biscuits, empty candy boxes, curlers, lip-sticks everything m gen¬ eral except books—which are stored away under the table for future reference. After last night’s dates, how those dear Beau Brummels do suffer, for they look out of one eye over the top of a hot-water bottle, or through the meshes of a hair-net. Before an appropriate dress for the evening could be selected, the whole wardrobe, with the addition of the neighbors’ stock, was brought in and distributed over chairs, table, dresser, trunk, floor, and bed, where they remain the next day. Now to the Cliff-dwellers themselves. Louise Noble, more familiarly known as “Patty” or “Maggie”, is the wittiest, cheerfulest songster of the whole crowd. She has a passionate fond¬ ness for cars, (especially Fords and Franklins), chewing-gum, black dresses, and “Good Manners” themes. It is being almost too intimate to tell that Kathryn Sheen hates sausage and fish. She hates them, in fact, with a vengeance amounting almost to open war¬ fare. The happiest day of her week is Wednesday, for on that night she ventures forth to conquer—all in raiment of gold and silver! Katinka’s great aim in life is to learn to manage a garage on a strictly economical basis. But there is one girl in the house who aspires to high ideals. Of course, Lady Bunton loves the good old United States, but, to her, there is nothing so romantic as a monarchical from of government, with a good old-fashioned King as the absolute ruler of all he surveys. The quiet little mouse of the house is Aline Duty, who loves nothing better than to nibble a piece of chocolate candy and curl up in bed in a little bow-knot, and talk quite intimately of herself, the cat, the men, the teacher, me girls, the weather, the preacher, the styles, the landlady, the latest beauty-cream, Tetrabranchiate Cephalapoda, and whether butter or gravy is worse for the complexion. Susybel Bunton’s greatest aversions are making-up beds, eating breakfast, wearing enough clothes, mopping under beds, and going to bed. But she is sweet, impulsive, and clever, after all. Knowing that she would not do herself justice, one of the other girls assumed the responsibility of characterizing Fay Boyce, the author of this in¬ teresting little drama. Fay is the girl with the joyous laugh that fills the hearts of those around her with sunshine. “Fayly” enjoys her meals to the limit, when she doesn’t have the blues, and uses the fact that she talks so much as an excuse for being the last one to reach the desert stage. She is Maggie’s O BK NP Ll-3 roommate and consequently is known as Jiggs. She has a tendency to flirt whenever an occasion presents itself, and in fact she was very painfully in¬ jured one day when she fell off a curb and sprained her ankle, as a result of looking back to make eyes at one of Alpine’s most up-to-date jelly beans. Her hobby is a red sweater frequently seen on the streets of Alpine and a deep “bear-like” voice heard over the phone from one to three times per day. Kathryn (comes dashing in from school with hair blown, and asks very excitedly) : Have I had a phone call, Mrs. Clifford? Mrs. Clifford (calmly) : No, Kathryn. Kathryn: My word! I don’t see why—isn’t this Wednesday? (Editor’s note—Unhappdy at this point the author of this drama was called to the phone. On her return she could find no trace of the manuscript. Long and repeated searches have failed to reveal even a clue. Suspicion rests, however, on Lady Bunton, because the drama divulged several of her most treasured secrets.) Fay Boyce, Freshman Class. GOING WEST W HAT do we mean by the West? It is, we know, that half-way direction between the north and the south, opposite the east. We know, too, that it is the Golden Land where the sun rests after the day is over. It is that big, broad out yonder that is boundless and indefinite. Primarily, the people of the Orient, or the Eastern Hemisphere, referred to America as the West. Each individual defined it to suit himself. To the man who belonged to an oppressed religious sect, it meant a desired place where he could worship God according to the dictates of his conscience. It was the poor man’s Land of Promise, where poverty was unknown. It was a wild, ungoverned land to the criminal, where law was lacking and where the hand of the magistrate could not reach. To others, it was a land of mystery, ad¬ venture, and wonder. Thus America was built up by people from the East who had gone West. History tells us that the first American colonists settled on the eastern shores. Then came the call “Let us go West”, and civilization advanced. Gradually, the unknown West has been pushed to the very edge of the Ameri¬ can continent. For centuries the West has been spoken of as “wild and woolv”, and in other terms as suggestive of rawness. There is, as a matter of fact, little of the “wild and wooly West” left, although people from the East still expect and hope to find it. However, since the West is the newer land of civilization, we still find the bustle of building and organizing, with few of the old, set ways and institutions of older countries. There is a thrill in the mere expression “going West”. It still carries, and always will carry with it a suggestion of newness, bigness, mystery, and opportunity. It seems to be a characteristic of people to hope, at some time, to go West. Georgia Smither, Sophomore Class , Summer , 1922. The Sul Ross C cannot be beat; It has no rivals in sight; Its faculty members are A Number 1, And its prexy is always right. Its students, for rivals have none; They make things hum and siz, For old Sul Ross cannot be beat— It’s out where the west is. Walter Caldwell, Freshman Class POP QUIZZES D ID you ever have a “pop quiz”? I can see the disdainful smile that creeps over your lips, if you are a student, and hear you mutter, “Not less than a thousand anyway!” Even if you are not a student, you might be able to appreciate the expression; all families of students, all teachers, and most neighbors fully comprehend the meaning of these two words. “Where did the monster originate?” you question. “Even the horrible parentage of Melancholy, ‘Of Cereberus and blackest Midnight born In Stygian cave forlorn i Mongest horrid shapes, and shrieks, and sights unholy!’ would be too good; for this terror embodies not only Melancholy, but also fear, trembling, and remorse.” I hesitate to tell you where pop quizzes really did find their beginning. Many years ago there lived in a little country town a teacher who had to listen to exactly ten recitations each day. One day when she was very tired—a strange state indeed for a teacher—and time for the last recitation was drawing near, a happy thought occurred to her. I say a happy thought; indeed it was so for her, but certainly the exact opposite for her pupils. She conceived the idea of having the pupils write the lesson instead of recite it. Little did she think what would come of this seemingly harmless thought. She had dropped a lighted match into a dead forest. The scheme worked so well that she told other teachers about it. The information spread even faster than wild fire; now there is not a single teacher who does not know the secret. How far this evil will go I am sure no one can tell, yet it is quite possible to prophesy a bit. The teacher will say, “If this works well in one class, why not in all?” She will then proceed to prove by experimentation that her rea¬ soning is correct. Imagine the nervous wrecks at the end of the day; think of the overcrowded hospitals; and picture the state of those who manage to survive. View the latter with stringing hair, shiny noses, ink-splotched hands and clothes, tired eyes, and bad humors; then decide for yourself whether or not this plan is good. Would that we could banish pop quizzes as easily as Milton denounced Melancholy, and command that the monster “in dark Cim¬ merian desert ever dwell.” Miriam Webb, Freshman Class. mt 19230 == 83 THE HIDDEN CASKET “My, Red, but that wind and rain is terrible. It’s a good thing we stumbled upon this old house for a shelter.” Yes, Blacky, I’m drenched through and as cold as a frog. I wonder if there is anything in this hut we can build a fire of. We can’t stay here Ihe rest of the night without a fire.” The two hunters, for such they were, soon secured ample material and had a bright campfire blazing to dry and warm themselves by. As soon as they had thawed out enough to be more comfortable, the men began prowling about to see what they could find in the old deserted log house, which consisted of one large room with a dirt floor. Apparently the only opening was the door through which had entered John Blake, a large man with a heavy scowl on his face, and Tom Mitchell, a man with sandy red hair and sparkling eyes. In the end of the room opposite the door was a large old- fashioned fireplace. The expiration had proceeded in silence for some time, when Tom noticed that John was down on his hands and knees in front of the fireplace examining something very closely. “Blacky, what have you found—an old love letter, a valuable jewel, or the chart to some hidden treasure?” “Well, I hardly know what it is yet, Red, but come see what you can make of this.” Tom hastened to that end of the room to see what his comrade had found. They both bent over a slip of paper that John had resurrected from under a loose rock in the hearth. The paper had the following words written upon it: Lest We Forget Through the secret passage of the fireplace, two feet from the wall, 6x3. “Why, Blacky, old top, that’s plain enough. Some old miser, who was afraid of banks or with some other such crazy notion in his head, has buried his fortune in some part of this shanty. Let’s get busy and locate that said secret passage, even if we have to tear this fireplace all away. Maybe we can find some precious game, and our hunting trip won’t be entirely unsuccessful.” “You are using we and us rather freely around here; don’t forget that I found this guide.” “Oh, here! Don’t go to counting your chickens before they hatch; and be¬ sides, I’m not going to knock you in the head and run away with your treasure. Lay aside your fears, and let’s get busy on this searching job. It 84 THE HIDDEN CASKET (CONTINUED) must be at least ten o ' clock, and we want to finish this by the time it gets light enough to start for home. Red piled a quantity of trash and old pieces of logs on the fire so as to better light up the room, and the two began prizing and picking at every rock and crack around the chimney. They had given up finding the passage and were wondering what it all meant anyway, when Red caught the mantel shelf—and to his astonishment, it began to move. Slowly the whole back of the fireplace slipped aside like a sliding door, disclosing a room not more than seven feet by ten. The dirt floor in here was not unlike the one in the larger room except that there was not nearly so much trash. An old spade and a pick stood in one corner. 4 ‘That was really thoughtful of the old guy to leave us his tools, said Tom. “Let ' s see that chart so as to get the exact locations, and then to work we go. ‘Six by three’! My, he must have a regular mint buried here. The two men started to work, one with the pick and the other with the spade. Very little was said for about the next three hours. The campfire was nearly out; but they had not noticed, for the faint breaking of day furnished them with enough light to work by. They had got near enough the chest to hear the thud as their implements struck the soil above, when John, whose scowl had by this time grown ex¬ ceedingly heavy, said, “Red, life’s too uncertain to slave this way, and besides, I ' m as hungry as a bear. I’ll go get the rest of our lunch out of my game sack and then let ' s eat a little. I ' m sure I’ll feel more like working then.’ So saying, he went into the large room—but not to fix the lunch; instead, he picked up his gun and walked back to the passage. Tom was so absorbed in the process of unearthing the treasure that he did not suspect this evil design until he felt a sharp pain, heard a loud report, and then fell forward into his grave, as it were, never to rise again. “Sorry, but you were just too sure about the we and our in this thing. I guess I can finish up by myself. With that, John tossed his partner ' s body out of the hole and began digging madly. With his second lick he struck wood with a hollow, empty sound. The blows came thick and fast, so in a very short time the whole top caved in with him. He fastened his eyes for one minute on what lay before him, and then fell back sobbing, “Only a skeleton! My God, I ' ve killed my best friend for nothing but a skeleton! Mary Ruth Cook, Sophomore Class. 85 SB KANPts GOAT SHEARING DAY ON A RANCH A BOUT the time the chickens begin crowing for daylight, a little bright flame can be seen upon the hill where the shearing hands are cooking their breakfast. If you are near enough, you can hear the sizzle of the bacon as it is broiled over the open fire, and deep into your lungs is carried the delicious aroma of strong coffee as it boils in a blackened tin can upon a flat heap of red coals. By daylight the shearers in their greasy shearing clothes are running the goats that are to be sheared that morning through a long shute into the shearing pen. Long before sunrise the whir of the machines is heard, and the occasional bleat of a goat that evidently thinks that the day of its doom has arrived when the sharp, fast-cutting blades run tickling through its fleece for the first time. As each shearer finishes shearing a goat, his turner puts a notch in a board nailed up beside his machine, and quickly catches an¬ other goat while the shearer, with beads of perspiration rolling from his brown face, hurriedly throws the wool from the last goat sheared into a tub conveniently near. The little boy of the ranch, anxious to be of some assistance, stands near-by ready to put a daub of tar and a smear of red paint upon any animal that may be cut. Or, if the water bucket is empty, he makes his little bare feet fly to the well to refill it. Sometimes he comes back with a bleeding toe that has come in contact with an old cedar stump near the well, but always he comes back with the water for the thirsty men who stand mopping the sweat from their faces, as they wait. While the shearers are clipping the long silken fleece from the goats in the pen, the range riders are bringing in those to be sheared in the afternoon. Their wild shouts and shrill whistles can be heard above the clatter of their horses’ feet as they run over the rocky hillside. The old stockman, in his broad-brimmed Stetson hat, high topped boots, and rattling spurs, walks into the pen with a bucket, pouring salt into the troughs and upon the salt rocks; and as the goats begin to come in sight, he calls loudly, “Goaty! Goaty!” in his big husky voice. At noon the shearers stop only long enough for their dinner and a few minutes’ rest before they continue the work through the long afternoon. About sundown the whir of the machines ceases, and immediately the shearers make a dash for the swimming pool while the other ranch hands are opening up the long sheds and tying and wiring up gates to keep safe the material for the next day’s work.

Polly: Oh, Hub, this is so sudden! 101 A POET’S CURSE 0 why do I sit and stare and dream? I’m sure far better to folk ’t would seem If I hadn’t these wistful and far-away looks, And devoted more time to some of my books. But how can they know when I’m seeming so dull Of the beautiful vision just under my skull? What control has the mind when an inspiring dart Of magic emotion transfixes the heart ? When a bright inspiration descends like a flash, I must jump for my pen, and a line quickly dash; For so swift as they come, still swifter they fade; ’T is of flashes of light that a poem is made. And my know ledge of math is most like a sieve! My studies all suffer that my poems may live; I’il be learning my history in plenty of time When it comes to an end in a jingling rhyme. And even at night when I get in my bed, Those nymphs of rhythm come to dance in my head; They go dancing and jingling in the greatest of glee Till the goddess of slumber sends them off to the sea. 0 what shall I do? I can’t drive them away! They come in the night, they come in the day; Though still (how I love them—each darling young verse!) I wish I might know if they’re a blessing or curse.

We fully appreciate what such an event means to those left behind, and we feel a sacred responsibility in doing everything in our power to alleviate the grief of the bereaved as much as possible. For this reason we recommend the use of the Qallion iMetallic QraVe XJaults to enclose the casket in an all earth grave. These vaults are air, water, vermin, and ghoul proof, and permanently protect the re¬ mains against the abhorrent elements of decay of which the mere thought is torture to the over¬ wrought nerves of mourning relatives. We invite inspection of the Qallion Metallic faults now in our display room. Your Advertising Space is Worth the Price. My last year ' s advertisement having brought me good business, Thanks!
