But these terms are both relative in meaning. Once the earth was thought to be only about six thousand years old, and the distance around the globe was considered great; now geologists claim that the earth has been millions of years in reaching its present state, and recently some daring souls circled the globe in air-planes within the limited space of only a few days. Genuine achievement rests upon a more solid foundation than any prescribed by time or space. There arc pinnacle moments in every worthy life that count for more than years of aimless existence—those moments “As when a great thought strikes along the brain, And flushes all the cheek.” The years in college which you have devoted to preparation for meeting life and its duties have been comparatively few. But you have, neverthe¬ less, achieved in a notable way if you have discovered that every successful life must be regulated by a well defined purpose, if you have found that thing in life which you can do best, and if you have caught an inspiration to succeed in spite of all obstacles. I trust that your stay at Sul Ross has enabled you to remove many handicaps, liquidate many liabilities and substitute therefor the assets of noble friendship, intellectual insight, and a more correct sense of high spiritual values. If you have achieved these ends, I entertain no fears that you will not only continue in college until you have taken a degree, but that your “ Education will be such as to enable you to make a life as well as a living”. Very sincerely, H. W. MORELOCK. ' fie BRANlPb Season Yesterday I heard a linnet Singing from a chimney top, And I heard a rose break at dawn , And I wondered if April passed again — April with her wild tears And childish laughter.

I could but drink my tears And hurry, hurry on. One night he played Appasionata Sonata With quick pizzicato cries, And I hid in the hedge To ponder on the light That filled his strange, grey eyes. To-day there are many people Under the dull acacia trees About his door; And there is a grey coach With many flowers, And a silver urn. All I can see through aching tears Is a young boy With a glowing face, And an old violin. Yesterday I stood near his door To listen. There was heavy silence For many hours Broken only by a street-hawker Who cried for bones. —Richard C. Gillespie. Seventy-three Seventy five r 7T HE encouraging development of athletics in ypJ Sul Ross during the last two years has been due, in the main, to the leadership of Coach B. C. Graves. The Lobos, it is true, have been men of natural ability and tine spirit, but back of the teams has been a power, quiet and steady, always— the influence of a man who, because he himself fights hard and plays fair, has been able to put the fight into his men and inspire in them the highest ideals of sportsmanship. Graves is a good coach, first of all, because he has the essentials of good generalship; he has the ability to lead—and the ability to command; he knows the game, and he knows men. Himself an athlete of enviable reputation, a thorough student of the theory and practice of athletics, he has brought to Sul Ross a technical training that knows what is to be done, and with it a personality that makes his men glad to do what the tilt of his chin suggests they had better do. Not only is he a good general; he is a good sport as well. Perhaps the best evidence of his fine sportsmanship has been the grit with which he has met the handicaps of limited numbers, raw material, and other difficulties known to but few coaches. He has adapted his style of playing to his material; persistently, patiently, cheerfully, he has drilled the “greens”, teaching them the A. B. C’s of the major sports. His famous “Ham and Egger” yell, ringing out across Jackson Field, has never failed to spur his men on to harder fighting. The teams Coach Graves has put out have not won the heavy end of the score in every game, but the clean fight, the square deal for which the Lobos have stood in every contest have been a finer evidence of his success as a coach than all the good scores they have made and all those that could be piled up. In appreciation of that success and of his influence in Sul Ross, the Athletics Section of the Brand is affectionately dedicated to Coach B. C. Graves. The Season HE Sul Ross Lobos, under the direction of Coach Graves, suc- Vjy cessfully carried out, in their second year of football, a schedule that was almost incredibly difficult for so young and inexperienced a squad. Their chief assets lay in their ability to work as one man, in their knowledge of the finer points of the game, and their unconquer¬ able determination to win against schools which, by all laws of nature and man, should have defeated them. The season opened with a brilliant practice game against the powerful Marfa All-Stars, with a score of 47-0 in favor of the Lobos, but the first real test of the Lobo strength came at the McMurry game at the San Angelo Fair. The Lobos demonstrated that they had not forgotten their defeat of a year before, and they literally swept the Indians off their feet for a 15-0 victory. But defeat came unmerci¬ fully when the Miners, with a series of spectacular plays, bore down on Sul Ross with a 32-6 victory. The Randolph game on Armistice day was a hard, clean, well-matched fight from start to finish, and the Lobos barely came out on top with one touchdown. The McMurry Indians then invaded Lobo territory, bent on scalping. The Sul Ross team, over-confident, allowed costly errors to lose the game, 19-6. With half of the first team crippled and with broken ranks and every available substitute, the Lobos went to El Paso for the final game with Junior College. There they were held scoreless for the first time, and lost the match by a narrow margin of 6-0. The letter men in football for this year are Wood, Bell, Jones, Nel¬ son, Reid, Denman, Townsend, Kelly, Williamson, and Anthony. Seventy-eight Standing: Coach Graves, Hirschfelt, Pouncey, Russell, Patton, Dod, Cavender, Adams, Terrill, Griffith, Gilbert. Middle Row: Reid, Barnett, Townsend (Capt. elect), Kelly (Capt.), Smith, Williamson, Wood, Younger. Bottom Row: Nelson, Anthony, Jones, Prude, Bell, Denman. !7 tc BR cN COACH GRAVES The man behind the plays and players. KELLY, Captain R. G. was our star full-back, and he lived up to the reputation he made last year as a demon line plunger. He broke up passes and plays with equal ability. PRUDE. Guard Johnnie was a thorn in the side of the opposing teams, good on both offense and defense, and a hard worker. SMITH, Guard, Tackle and Half “Lee” is the type of man that every coach desires to have on his team. He could play line and backfield too, and he played each position better than the other. NELSON, Half-back Clean, hard-fighting, liard-tackling —that was Sam. A consistent player who never lost his head. DENMAN, Half-back Dennie was light, but he hit the line hard. He was one of the fastest men on the squad, and a good broken field runner. REID, Half-back Warner was a good line plunger, but was best at skirting the ends. He was a good passer and broken field runner. i Seventy-nine ANTHONY, End Ced, at left end, was one of the oustanding players of the team. On every phase of end play he was schooled to perfection. His punts were excellent, and his en¬ tire game was backed by football will and determination. WILLIAMSON, Guard “Deep” was a good, hard-charging guard. He kept the spirit up in many a hard game by his continu¬ ous chatter. TOWNSEND, End and Captain-elect “Wes” was one of the best ends in this part of the country. He covered punts well, and was a re¬ markable receiver of passes. BELL, Quarter Bell was the field general, and was all that a good quarter-back should be—a broken field runner and a good safety man. YOUNGER, Tackle “Fungi” was a new man here this year, but he played his tackle like a veteran. He was a fighter from whistle to whistle. JONES, Guard and Tackle Ralph was a tower of strength in the line. He dealt his opponents misery, and seldom was a play made through his territory. WOOD, Center Drury was an exceptionally good center, good on offense and de¬ fense, and an accurate passer. An injured shoulder kept him out of the last two games.

He was a star and our high-point man in every game, with a single except ion. But his best was his playing technique in the Miner games. Townsend was a good leader and kept his men in perfect harmony. DENMAN “Dennie” was noted for his fast work and fighting ability. Not only was his work fast but it was hard and lasting. He filled the holes without making a “gap”. This was Dennie’s first year with the Lobos, and if he is here next year he will be a valuable man. YOUNGER Fuqua was a “mighty” guard; he was the ruler of his part of the court, and his fighting ability and encouraging spirit were features the en¬ tire season. Younger played exceptional ball in the Miner games. He seemed to be in the way every time the ball passed, thus closing his forward out on every attempt at the goal during the first half. SMITH Lee was a very valuable man during the season. The result of his hard work was shown in the first Miner game and the first game with Wayland. Smith was at his best in these two games, but his type of playing throughout the season was hard to beat. He will be in his prime next season, and we shall be very fortunate in having him with us another year. PATTON “Pat” came to us an experienced man and a last-year letter man. Although he entered the season late, he seemed to have no trouble in placing as a forward on the quintet. His accurate shooting and fast work could be expected in every game. Lee was one with whom all of the players liked to work because they knew he would deliver the ball in the right place. Also his “peppy” talk helped the fight of the team. BROWN The “Preacher” was a new man this past season, but a good one. Brown was probably the most consistent player on the entire team. When he hit his stride, not once did he cease piling up the basket. He was the hero of the second Wayland game, for it was his sure shooting and neat pass work that won the game. PRUDE Johnnie is an old letter man, and he lived up to his former records of hard and snappy playing. Prude was always at the right place at the right time. He was an outstanding star in the first game with the Junior College. Eighty-seven Eighty-eight not s Baseball Season Spring r T HE 1924 season in baseball was another evidence of Coach Graves ’ VJ- ability to cope with difficulties. It was an evidence, too, of the Lobo fighting spirit. In baseball, perhaps more than any other sport, the difficul¬ ties of pioneers were encountered. The limited number of men and the dis¬ tance from other college teams made it impossible to get a good schedule of games. The following five games which were played were all victories for the Lobos: At Sanderson.Sul Ross 7.Sanderson 6 At Alpine . . ..Sul Ross 16.Sanderson 5 At Marfa.SulRoss 18 . . .

It is organized under the point system and is affiliated with the Athletic Conference of American College Women. Letters, sweaters, and blankets are awarded under this system in recognition of ability and industry. The sports which the W. A. A. sponsors include Volley Ball, Tennis, Field Hockey, Swimming, Baseball, and Hiking. The Sul Ross W. A. A. is one of the ten charter members of the Texas Athletic Confeience of College Women, which was organized at the University in the spring term. The association at Sul Ross, which is one of the most active in the state, is the second largest and second oldest of the Texas associations. It sponsors and stands for the highest ideal of good sportsmanship, scholarship, and general all- aroundness. The heart and soul of Sul Ross W. A. A. is Miss Britt, of the Physical Education department. She recommends all sorts of dis¬ agreeable but “healthful” things, and the girls rush to do them just because she is Miss Britt. She is a good sport every minute of the year and under every conceivable circumstance—she is efficiency and pep and friendliness personified. warn Mi Ji f p ’ t s. So THc Mod f Li £ - u p £.

And a hike is a comradely thing, tra la, As you think of it more and more, For you know if the whole world would hike, tra la, We should “blithers be” all the earth o’er. 1 Ninety-nine One Hundred One Hundred One .

My heart sings in tune to the jingle of spurs, The hiss of the rope, the monotonous Soft squeak of my saddle; leaps to the feel Of my horse’s swift rhythmic motion, His ready understanding of my mood, And the answering exultance of his own. Oh you who are free, not in fancy only, Free, astride a spirited horse to ride Beyond the stately, shadowed hills, ever on and on until Exultance beats itself out into a great content— You must know how the cowboy in college Is lured by the call of a horse and the great open land. —Rudolph Mellard.

MISS DULANEY CONTINUES DOWNWARD Last Strand of Co-Ed’s Personality is Obliterated With her unparalleled fall from a fast mov¬ ing- automobile the other morning Miss Emily Dulaney, popular Sul Ross co-ed, reached the climax of a series of mishaps and misdeeds that have been evident for the past few weeks. Her friends rejoice to know that she is re¬ covering rapidly, has not bobbed her hair, and will soon be herself again. Miss Dulaney’s rapid retrogression may be traced to that fatal chapel period when she turned aside from all that was prim and fair, and threw herself into the role of an under¬ study of Miss Aynesworth. Day by day her mimicry grew more evident. Finally, when Miss Aynesworth, in an exotic flare of daring boldness, broke three ribs in an attempt to mutilate the city property, Miss Dulaney im¬ mediately wanted to follow suit. But hers was not merely to imitate. She would go Miss Aynesworth one better. She selected that time and place for her spectacular deed which would bring her the widest publicity. Then, with an impulsive little spring, she leaped from a Ford that was going forty miles an hour up College Hill. She landed with glee on the hard pavement, flinging back her head to secure the best possible re¬ sults. She accomplished her purpose; her head cracked wide open. Friends of the two tumblers are eagerly waiting the next move on the part of Miss Aynesworth, which will make clear whether she is an innocent victim of copy-catting, or a competitor for a letter in falling. SLUMBER PARTY Mr. Knox Reid entertained charmingly for a number of his friends last Saturday night with a slumber party at his home on College Avenue. His guests began to gather about sun down, and feasted on sandwiches, iced tea, and ice cream on the lawn. The young men then went indoors for an old-fashioned sing-song and a few games of Flinch before retiring for the night. Needless to say, they did not go to sleep until a very late hour, as each member of the party knew a good ghost story to frighten his fellows, and several even played boyish pranks on the more unfortunate ones. The “Slumberers” at this delightful entertainment were Mr. Ralph Jones, Mr. Daniel O. Payne, Mr. Eugene Kelly, Mr. Rov Griffith, Mr. Louis Loeffler, and Mr. Thomas Inman. BRIDGE AND GOLF FROLIC On Friday afternoon, April 32, Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Gilley held open house to the members of the faculty at a delightful entertainment planned to please the tastes of both the lac.ies and the gentlemen. When the guests arrived. Mr. Gilley passed around golf trousers to the men as souvenirs and took them (both the men and the trousers) to the Alpine Golf Links for a couple of rounds. While they were gone, Mrs. Gilley and the other ladies played Bridge, Flinch, and Mali Jongg on the spacious veranda of Berkeley Hall. Miss Alice Cowan was found to be the winner at the conclusion of the games and was presented with a Spanish Dictionary. When the gentlemen returned and announced that Mr. Walker had won at golf with a score of 119 for the nine holes, refreshments were served from the cool white kitchens of Berke¬ ley Hall Cafe. At dusk the party decided to make a moon¬ light trip to Fort Davis in order to relieve the humdrum monotony of their daily exist¬ ence. The entire party arrived in Alpine just in time for first period classes on Saturday, refreshed and uplifted by their excursion. VALENTINE PARTY Saint Valentine’s Five was the occasion of gorgeous entertainment sponsored by the W.A.A. for the girls of Sul Ross. The party was held in the Girls’ Gym, which had been converted into an old-fashioned garden with wild roses, tulips, holly hocks, and morning glories adorning the walls of the garden and with a sparkling fountain bordered by Spanish moss in the center of the room. One end of the Gym was made into a stage where the program for the evening was given. Miss Lois Bell, as the Spirit of Romance, was seated at the center of the stage against a background of a great paper-lace Valentine. As Cupid, impersonated by Floyd Gilley, read the stories of past lovers, the couples came forth and gave scenes from their particular stories. Miss Ford, as Bluebeard, was es¬ pecially good in her characterization. Some of the girls, (the initials of whose names are J. C., B. C, R. F. and J. B.), feeling more keenly interested in modern love affairs than in musty legends, reverted to type and gave in pantomime scenes from their own love stor¬ ies, enlivened by frequent quotations from their particular Romeos. (Editor’s Note. The above article which was written before the party in order to avoid the rush, was sent to press before steps could be taken to prevent its publication. The truth is that the party was called off on account of the flu.) One Hundred Twenty-eight 7 i ?

Cedric: “No, what’s the matter with him? NOTICE To Whom It May Concern: I wish hereby to make it known to the public at large that I am duly sorry for, and do hereby retract, my statement of some weeks ago that the Freshmen and women of Sul Ross did have and possess the ability to write poems, poetry, odes, limericks, elegies or any other form of versification. I admit, acknowledge, and bewail the fallacy of any such statement. Never again by word, insin¬ uation, or gesture, will I be guilty of such libel. Never again shall the two words, Fresh¬ men and poetry, have any propinquity in my mind; there is enmity between them forever. Witness my hand and seal this second day of April. 1925. (Signed) Anne Aynesworth. NOTICE To Whom It May Concern: This is to certify that I, Wilton Claudius Williamson, was not confined to the Brewster County Jail because of murder, socialism, treason, or silence as some people would sug¬ gest, but because of my own free will anj impulse. I knew that the little Freshmen boys had eagerly planned their innocent game of hide-and-seek, or some similar pastime, and that the success of their quaint, childish party depended upon my acceptance of the role assigned me. Now, I have always been fond of children, and I did not have the heart to refuse them this little pleasure. So, as the proud father lets the little ones pull his hair and take away his pipe, I allowed these youngsters to escort me to my strange abode, the cozy little County Jail. This and no other, was the reason for my spending those hours in prison on the morning of April first. Witness my hand and seal this third day of April. 1925. (Signed) Wilton Claudius Williamson. GOLDFISH TAKE GAME Sul Ross 80 - Oshkosh 78 The most interesting Baseball game of the season was played on Jackson Field last Satur¬ day between the Sul Ross Goldfish and the team from the Young Ladies’ Seminary at Oshkosh, the home of Miss Ford. The game was an all-day affair, and was as exciting as an evening at home. The Goldfish wore attractive white uniforms which showed off to advantage against the pink of the Oshkosh costumes. The most thrilling moments of the game came when the alarm clock announced that it was time for the teams to reverse positions at the end of half an inning. The Sul Ross Goldfish played a steady game throughout. The outstanding players were Miss Coffman, who knocked fifty-six home- runs. and Miss Watson, who caught five pitched balls. Miss Lois Bell, as hind-catcher did some beautiful marathon runs. The line¬ up was as follows: Coffman, first base Gillett. second base Watson, catcher J. Hamilton, pitcher N. Abbott, third base Murray, general flunkey L. Bell, hind-catcher WHY WASH DISHES?

One Hundred Twenty-nine One Hundred Thirty £7 re BRANlIPb My First Experience in a Jail or Trials of A SufFermore By Charlie D. Wood I was rudely awakened from my peaceful slumbers at four o’clock on the morning of April first by a Freshman reception committee which at once took charge of my welfare by directing me to the safety and protection of the County Jail. There, in my cozy little cell, I found my every want provided for—there was a pile of toesacks in the corner should I care to rest, and there was a negro murderer in the adjoining cell should I care for company. But in this strange mood I felt overpowering me, I cared for neither rest nor companionship. Instead, a heartfelt longing swept ovef me for the rolling plains, the picturesque canyons, the rugged mountains, and break¬ fast, and, meandering to the window, I thrust forth my arms as far as I might in a spontaneous outburst of my wild desire for freedom. In the course of a few minutes my cravi ng for liberty assumed such monstrous intensity that my throat became a sounding board, and I cried aloud to every blossom, cow, and person to set me free. In the midst of my wails I heard an excited commotion below. I strained my ears. Then I heard Miss Aynesworth speak—or could this harsh, brutal voice be that of our dear sponsor? “Your keys or your life!’’ A masculine gasp of surrender—I took it to proceed from my jailor—came in¬ stantly; and the next moment the frantic yet daring Miss Aynesworth, accompanied by her posse of Sophomores, stood on the threshold of my cell. And once more I walked forth into the world of men—free, white, and unmarried! Miss Britt, conducting an English lesson in Mr. Boatright’s absence: “We shall discuss this morning Riley’s interesting story, The Nest Egg. Miss Yates, give us the date and setting of The Nest Egg.” VANITY’S SCARE WE NOMINATE FOR THE HALL OF BLAME: Miss Ford, because she never looks up from her perusal of Mother Goose Rhymes to scold or to stop such enjoyments as spooning parties, mock baseball games, the rougher parts of initiation, and the like. Mr. Me Kay, because of his wide renown as a judge of human character. In centuries to come, the five-year-old child that does not know that Mr. McKay is the author of the classic: “God pity that poor simp”; who cannot give the habitat of this artist of the English language, his teaching itinerary, and his age at death will be an outcast, a veritable pariah in the highest society of Kidville. For this expression is honored and heralded second only to that remarkable Boatright epigram: “So much for that; let us pass on.” Wesley Townsend, because of his astonishing oratorical prowess. His name will go down in history beside the names of Webster, Bryan, and other great speakers. One Hundred Thirty-one Johnnie and Ruth , because of their excellent living interpretation and presentation of Romeo and Juliet. Miss Cowan , because of her almost unbelievable memory for numbers. Lee Patton , because he has brought to us that long-needed aesthetic touch—that bit of exhilarating music that our school has long felt the need of. He has sent that indefinable spark of something just a little bigger and better into our humdrum existence. Mr. Allen , because of his mastery of the finer and more highly technical points of kicking. The remarkable ability was especially outstanding at the flag fight. Huh Hext , because he is inventor and introducer of that widely known and yet ever original and fresh expression: “That’s quite clevah.” This one coy saying will make his name live forever. Miss Aynesworth , because of her bewitching and hypnotic power over neighboring cows. They run when they see her coming. John Fortner , because of his rising popularity ever since the students discovered his ability to make one out of two. Alpine, Texas, February 4, 1925.

WATCH FOR THE 1926 LORO HANDBOOK The slogan, ‘‘When in doubt consult the Lobo Handbook”, has been justified by the tests which that manual has stood during the many quandaries of college life. Questions pertaining to flunking, petting, increasing the slang vocabulary, using the right knife at a banquet, dressing fashionably, and learning to play the saxophone—all arc answered by Lobo with unfailing sympathy and acumen. A few important problems, though,—doubtless through some slip of the printer,—were omitted. They are listed below with the hope that their solutions may be included in the revised edition soon to come from the press: Who stole the Green Veil. Where the Sachems learned Indian. Why Journalism is so popular. Who is Gene’s girl now. If Pud Inman was born that way. What day the Skyline will be out. What Wes Townsend said in his chapel speech. Why Miss Ford came West.

One Hundred Thirty fire A PROBLEM IN PSYCHOLOGY: DUAL PERSONALITY OR WOMAN ' S CAPRICE? The following recommendations, both bearing the signature of Miss Un¬ worth, have given rise to wide-spread discussion on the campus. Did she in¬ tentionally, or accidentally, send both to the Teacher ' s Bureau? Which may be taken as an expression of her real sentiments? May the affair be inter¬ preted as a mere whim, or is it perhaps a natural reaction against a prolonged suppression of truth on the part of faculty recommenders ? Exihibit A: It gives me great pleasure to say that Mr. Rub Rex is a young man of pleasing, gracious personality, lofty ideals, noble principles, and exemplary conduct. He has unusual intellectual gifts: a scholarly passion for knowledge, a broad culture, and a deep appreciation for the aesthetic. He possesses the rare gift of leadership. His quiet, unassuming, yet potent dignity will com¬ mand respect: his efficiency and dependability mark him as the born teacher and bespeak for him unqualified success in his chosen profession. Signed— U. Unworth. Exhibit B: I take keen delight in saying that Mr. Rub Rex is a young man of un¬ usual laziness. He is never dependable, particularly in any case where a girl is involved. He cuts conferences; he makes comma blunders; he does not ap¬ proach the high standard of scholarship 1 achieved when I was a student in 18—. His aesthetic tastes are atrocious. He cannot sing; he cannot dance; he cannot play any stringed instrument. His hair is hennaed; his trousers do not flare, and his laundry bag is of a flowery pattern. School Boards will elect him at their own risk. Signed—U. Unworth. The following penciled notes on the back of one of the manuscripts quoted above, are interpreted as skeleton outlines for future recommendations by Miss Unworth. Bym Relly: Thinks he ' s smart—He isn ' t. Rube Mellarde: Too western—smiles without making any audible sound. Jean Relly: Too popular with the members of my feminine race. John Prude: Too stout for unity and coherence. Gordon Demnan: Lisps when around girls. Royce Caliham: A most intellectual girl. Sachems: Poor organization but excellently sponsored.

The society is to be known as the Young Ladies Fighting Society, and its regular meetings are to be sche¬ duled for Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, The officers are: President.Aileen Smith Referee .Miss Aynesworth Fish Pond Supervisor..Joyce Calliham Grand Kicker.Eleanor Shapleigh Worthy Tearemup..Sally Freeman Exalted Nokemdown and Sitonem.Lois Leath Honorary Onlookers.Frances Gillett Mozelle Turney Jeffie Bell Floyd Gilley The other charter members are: Eva Jones, CJara Hamblen, Leo Mills, Zoe Ellen Murray, Nancy Watson, Mary Bell, Ruth Rollins, Erith Easterwood, Lolla Bunton, Ruth Fryar, Bill Coffman, Vina Jones, Florence Jones, Frances Mitchell, Florence Weckesser. The following rules for combat, set forth by the National Society for Young Ladies Correct Deportment, were adopted unanimously by the Society. Rule 1. It shall not be deemed lady-like for more than six young ladies to attack a single young lady. Rule 2. The most savage facial contortions are prescribed. Pleasant, passive, or phlegmatic expressions render the wearer ineligible for the fray. Rule 3. Methods of combat shall be limited to hair pulling, biting, scratching, arm and leg twisting, severe blows on the jaw or nose, and similar genteel methods. Rule 4. The young ladies engaged in struggle are at all times requested to remember their dignity and poise, and not to do any thing that onlookers might deem rough, un¬ lady-like, or otherwise not in the best of taste. DRAMATIC ENTERTAINMENT FOR SUL ROSS The popular Cask and Dipper Dramatic Club of Sul Ross is now hard at work on the following plays to be given some time in the near future. “CHAPEL”—A Tragedy in One Act. A heart throbbing little tragedy with pathos and tears in every line. Mr. H. W. Morelock plays the leading role. “A LAUGH A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY”. A rollicking comedy from start to finish, starring Miss F. H. Ford. ‘CALLING FOR FUN”. One of Miss Aynesworth’s most brilliant comedies. The outstanding laugh is a grand head-over-heels scene with a local setting. “MY JANE’S PA”. A tear-gathering, soul-stirring tragedy in one short scene. Mr. Samuel Nelson is the grief-stricken hero. One Hundred Thirty-eight “HEAP BIG CHIEF . A colorful Indian Drama with Mr. V. J. Smith in the title role. Typical Indian folk¬ lore dances and vocal pieces add a characteristic touch to this entertaining little play.

CRIP COURSE CATALOGUE Sul Ross Bulletin No. 94762 Department of Erotology A four-year course leading to the B. E. degree—Bachelor of Erotol ogy. Stepology is a pre-requisite or parallel. The first year’s work consists of lectures on the theory of attractiveness and bewitching dress; the laboratory work will be that of simple flirting. In the second year, it is hoped that by the use of Lover’s Tree, Ranger Canyon, Lover’s Rock, and the College Jitney other features of nature study and pair work may be intro¬ duced. The third year is chiefly given to scalonometry, or step measurement. The fourth year is a continuation of the more advanced flirting, and in the spring term short engage¬ ments are necessary. It is hoped that the College will obtain some specialists for this work. Several mem¬ bers of the present faculty, incidentally, are graduates of similar courses. Miss Tweet will give a series of lectures in this connection on the technique of breaking—and mend¬ ing—engagements. Professor Gilley will be glad to receive pre-registration announcements from those who wish to be admitted or transferred to this department. Department of Stepology A two-year course consisting chiefly of laboratory work and first-hand demonstra¬ tions. The first term is devoted entirely to the study of simple front step postures. The last year is highly technical, and includes Conversation, simple and complex Petting, and the like. It is rumored that a number of students will be able to qualify as assist¬ ants in this department. Department of Practical Spanish A course devised for those students whose needs and desires are not met by the regular Spanish courses. The language of Alpine Mexicans is used as a standard. The graduate of this department is able to converse with the wash-woman and Chappo, and to understand what Rudolph, Johnnie, and Stanley are talking about. But one of the most desirable advantages of Practical Spanish is that it gives the student more than one language to use upon such occasions as when he has a flat tire or flunks his major.

I don’t like to accuse anyone of theft, but the fact is that I’ll have to pay for this book if 1 don’t locate it pretty soon.” Song: “Where, Oh, Where.” Miss Bedell: “T shall be at home to the faculty next Friday from four to six.” Song: “Old Folks At Home.” Mr. Morelock: “This is just a suggestion. I want you to get my point of view, you know. Please try to be a little less noisy in and about the corridors. ’ ’ Song: “I Dreamt 1 Dwelt in Marble Halls.” Miss Britt: “I wanted to tell the girls that we shall take a short twenty mile hike this afternoon to the top of Mitre peak and back. Don’t forget to come barefooted, point toes inward, and grasp with your toes as you go, so as to avoid blisters.” Song: “In the Same Old Way.” Mr. Walker: “Something has caught the hands of the clock and we have run into the third period.” Song: “Blest Be the Tie That Binds.” (Mr. Morelock nods.

C L BIENDS of Miss Ruth Fryar have presented her name to the National U Society for the Promulgation of Prowess, hoping that she may be awarded a medal, a scholarship, and all the implements necessary for future encounters with those menaces to the safety and sanity of young college ladies of the West. The story of Miss Fryar’s unprecedented bravery opened at midnight in Prude House. A piercing shriek from Bill in the bathroom brought the up¬ per story of the house to the hall—and Bill, limp and pale, pointing with her trembling tooth brush toward a huge, hideous reptile on the bathroom floor. Implements of war were assembled—mops, shoes, brooms; one girl carried a hair-brush, doubtless remembering the effect of such a weapon in her childhood. But who should lead the van? Without a moment’s hesitation, Ruth Fryar stepped to the front. With her trusty broom, a weak heart, and a strong desire to call Johnny, she ventured gradually into this Chamber of Horrors. Halfway into the room she remembered that there were things which one must do before approaching death. She backed out and told her friends good-bye. In her hastily compiled will she left Johnny and his picture to Frances, her new gun metal hose to Lolla B., her blue belt to Ruth Rollins, and her last summer’s voile dress to Maymie. Then, with a look that would have softened the heart of Bluebeard, Ruth faced her destiny and disappeared through the bathroom door. Thud! Had Ruth fainted? Had the reptile annihilated her? The rest of the posse burst in, caution thrown to the winds. There stood Ruth in the center of the loom, perfectly composed, a young heroine, a lady Napoleon. “I gottem.” And then she sank to the floor, a heroine no longer, but a limp bundle of femininity. Friends are confident that Miss Fryar will be awarded the well-deserved citation for bravery. The incidental discovery that the monster slain was only the long-lost pompon from Maymie’s bedroom slipper, it is thought, will have no bearing on the decision.

That which CL appeared to the younger and more hopeful vision of the Staff a colorful and rich tapestry seems to the tir ed eyes and fagged brains of an older and wiser staff an ungainly rag rug or a crazy patchwork quilt. Our yarn was uneven and rotten; it frayed and split and snarled; it broke in places. The colors clashed Our courage failed us, and we raveled out some of the choicest bits of the design. You will probably want to ravel several more. But nothing can ever ravel out the fun we have had in the weaving! May our work bring to you the greater wisdom, the more understanding insight into the life and personality of Sul Ross—all of the fun and none of the fears it has brought to us. And so saying, we retire to our stacked-up quizzes, flunked courses, food, sleep, and long-relinquished social life.
