In 1839 his (L family moved to Texas where he grew to manhood, and as a man was instrumental in shaping Texas ’ destiny. He was educated at the University of Alabama. An interesting story is told of Ross’ winning distinction while he was at home for the summer vacation from college. He is said to have raised a group of friendly Indians and joined General Van Dorn in a campaign against the Comanches. At the battle fought at Wichita Mountains, Ross’ men, thinking that they were being mistaken by Van Dorn’s men for Comanches, fell back out of the smoke of battle. ‘‘The Boy Captain vvith three companions, was left surrounded by the Comanches. As a result, Ross was seriously wounded, and barely escaped with his life. He refused military honors offered him on this occasion and returned to Alabama to finish his education. Later, however, he won lasting distinction by his defeat of the Comanches. It was during this campaign that he rescued Cynthia Ann Parker, who, when a child of nine, was captured by this hostile tribe, and for twenty-five years was lost to the white world. When the Civil War broke out, Ross entered the Confederate Army as a private. When the war ended, he left the army a Brigadier General, having distinguished himself for his unfaltering courage and bravery. After the war he returned to Texas to enter the public life of the state. He was a member of tbe Constitutional Convention and of the State Senate. Twice he was elected governor by a large majority. At the expiration of his second term he was appointed president of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas. During this time he refused a place on the Railroad Commission. In 1898 his death occurred. Perhaps no man, active in public life in Texas, has held higher ideals of education than has Lawrence Sullivan Ross. He himself was a product of an education, gained not only through a college, but through life’s greatest ex¬ periences. While no man ever reaches the highest goal in life, some men through their worth, their strength, their nobility, go far ahead of their brothers. Such a one was this man. His courage is an inspiration to youth; his outstanding faith in humanity places him among the noblest of men; his achievements make him an inspiration to all young people. In Southwest Texas, in the Davis Mountains, in a country still young, very rich in beauty and material wealth, the people of Texas have erected a building, a memorial to this man. We are making a college in this building — one that we hope will always be worthy to bear the name it now holds, a college founded upon the dauntless spirit, the high faith, the relentless courage, and the noble aspirations of Sul Ross. Twenty-one Our Board of r Regents HOSE broad and clear vision, tireless LA energies, sympathetic insight, constructive programs, and unselfish devotion to education have won for the Teachers ’ Colleges of Texas a pre-eminent place among the teacher-training in¬ stitutions of the South; Whose business ability, lofty ideals, and high regard for duty have been an inspiration and a guide to students and faculty; And whose services have made a distinct contribution to education in Texas, — We inscribe these words of appreciation.

At night I’ve seen you run, And calling hoarsely to your men, Fall over upturned trees, And rising — fall again. I wish you’d take the pallor off your face, And those cold, staring eyes, Supplant them for your own If you must come to visit me at times. My very soul contracts when I see blood, And yet — You’ve let it mat your fine, young hair, And hide your face, almost, with filthy crusts. Dear one, You know my heart; You’ve seen the pain you’ve brought When you return; I WONDER IF YOU KNOW THAT I MUST LIVE! — R. C. G. Thirty- Class of ’28 Thirty-nine yiui R. G.

Forty-five If I forget If I forget, my dear, You’ll understand — That far down the coulee Is a wash-out With fine white sand For me to run my fingers through; And far up the heights Is a tiny waterfall, Scarcely big enough to laugh aloud, And high over all — And always — Is the blue sky God made out of shattered loves; And grey even’ tide Is shadow things To hold in memory of yesteryear.

Qraves HE end of the season of 1925-1926 marks the third year that Bernice C. Graves has been the head of the Physical Education Department for men in Sul Ross. A coach of un¬ usual ability, his work has been one of the most interesting bits of athletic history in the Big Bend country and in this section of the state. Personally, he deserves much credit for the excellent spirit of sportsmanship that he has rooted in the hearts of loyal Rossonians, and for the honor and the attention, that as the power behind the Lobo pack, he has brought to the school. Graves, known to us as “Coach”, has always been handi¬ capped by lack of material. However, the first year of his coaching, with very few men, he put out teams that won three- fourths of their games. The second and third years, by dint of much hard work, he produced teams of which any school could be justly proud. The obstacles and disappointments he has met with during these three years have given him no little worry, but with a characteristic never-give-up spirit, he has surmounted or evaded them. As a coach in a pioneer field, he has accomplished what few could have done. Not only is Graves a good coach, but he is a gentleman and a friend. He is loved by every one with whom he comes in contact, and especially so by the members of his various teams, who have tried him most often and never found him lacking. Seventy-four WES. TOWNSEND, Capt. Halfback “Wes” proved himself a capable captain and the team fought like tigers under his leadership. He was a triple threat man and a wonderful punter. His punts easily outdis¬ tanced those of his oppo¬ nents the whole season. W. D. COWAN, Captain Elect. Halfback Cowan was another one who joined the pack late but soon proved himself the much needed cog for the machine. He played well in every game but was probably at his best in the Junior College fray. AT ALPINE SUL ROSS 26.RANDOLPH COLLEGE 0 This is the way Sul Ross started the year off. Most of the Lobos were new, and for this reason they did not work well until the beginning of the second half; — then the score began to pile up. Randolph gave all the fight she had, but her team was no match for the husky Lobos. The Lobos ’ best bets were Kelly, Terry, George Hamilton, and Captain Townsend. Nelson also played an excellent game at end. Seventy-six JONAS HAMILTON Guard Jonas was a hard fight¬ ing guard and he gave all he had in every game. His work against Junior College stood out. “Master” is another three year man who has | helped to make football I history in Sul Ross. He 1 never had an off day but played consistent football in every game. a© AT BROWNWOOD SUL ROSS 0.DANIEL BAKER G This game was the climax of several days bad luck for the Lobos. They were forced to go through four hundred miles of mud to get to the Hillbillies ’ den. Because of a weakened condition, they had to play a defensive game. The con¬ sistent playing of Bozarth, Kelly, and George Hamilton helped much to keep the score as low as it was. The punting of Captain Townsend was a feature of the game. w Seventy-seven MAURICE BELL Quarter MARSHALL BOZARTH Tackle Bell was back this year to fill his old position at quarter, and he more than filled it. His play¬ ing in the McMurry game was outstanding. “Bo” was a tackle and a good one. He played well in every game and seldom was a gain made through his territory. His fierce tackling at Brown- wood kept the score low. “Bo” is line captain elect. AT ALPINE SUL ROSS 31.EL PASO MINERS 7 This was the chief game of the season. Every player took his position with a determination to fight and win. The fighting spirit of the Lobos could not be downed and they emerged victorious from the fray. The Miner team was well balanced but was no match for the Lobos. Kelly ' s spectacular 92 yard sprint for a touchdown was the outstanding feature of the game. The Miners ' lone score came as the result of a long end run. Several new Lobos proved their ability and worth in this game. Seventy -eight PAUL FORD End “Jit” did not join us until we returned from Brownwood but he soon proved his mettle. He was fast, heady, and a remarkable receiver of passes. GEORGE HAMILTON Center George was no stran¬ ger, as he played with us in ’23. He was back this year at his old center po¬ sition and acquitted him¬ self wonderfully. He play¬ ed every minute of every game. SUL ROSS 7 AT SAN ANGELO .TEXAS TECH. 21 This game was a regular battle royal. The Lobos went into the game to win, fought hard, and lost a good, honest, clean struggle. Two passes, Bell to Ford and Kell to Ford, netted the Lobos their touchdown. The third quarter resolved itself into a punting duel in which Captain Townsend of the Lobos showed him¬ self equal to the occasion. The final break came in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, when the Lobos gave way to greater numbers and were forced to yield two touchdowns in quick succession. Seventy-nine CEDRIC ANTHONY End A continuous hard fight¬ ing dependable end, a player well schooled in the ethics of football— that was Ced. CLIFFORD KELL Half Kell joined the squad late but soon won a place by his ability. He was excellent at passing and this feature helped to win many games. AT ALPINE SUL ROSS 0.SCHREINER INSTITUTE 7 This was one of the hardest fought games of the season. It was an exhibition of straight, clean football from the start to the finish. The Schreiner team was well schooled in both defensive and offensive playing. The Lobos missed a chance to score in the early part of the first quarter. The Schreiner touchdown came as the result of a series of end runs. Eighty SAM NELSON End LEE SMITH Fullback Sam was a sure, hard tackier and an end who used his head. He covered punts well and was a good receiver. Lee as fullback was ideally placed. He was an expert line plunger and end runner. AT ABILENE SUL ROSS 13.McMURRY 7 McMurry’s defense crumbled in the second half after a hard and game effort to stop the onslaught of the Lobos. The fact that the Lobos made twenty- two first downs to the Indians’ nine, shows that McMurry was outclassed in every way. Townsend, Bell, Smith, and Cowan of the Lobos starred on the offensive. The McMurry team was in striking distance of their goal once, but lacked the punch to put the ball over. Their lone touchdown came as the result of an intercepted pass from the sixty yard line Eighty-one — Terry was the fastest man on the squad and if he ever got away, he al¬ ways went for a long gain. GORDON DENMAN Half Plenty of speed made “Dennie” feared by his opponents. He was a good side stepper and broken field runner. SUL ROSS 68. AT ALPINE ... .EL PASO JUNIOR COLLEGE 0 In this game the Lobos ran wild, as is indicated by the score. Cowan, of the Lobos, was the shining light—making five of Sul Ross ' touchdowns. The Junior College team put forth a game and clean fight until the last whistle, but they were completely overwhelmed. The Sul Ross Coyotes were put into the game the last quarter and proved themselves quite equal to their opponents. FUQUA YOUNGER Tackle R. G. KELLY Fullback “Duck” played his sec¬ ond year as Lobo tackle, and he filled the position as only he can. He was a hard worker and a good fighter. This was R. G.’s third year with Sul Ross and he gets better every year. His hard tackling and line plunging have won many games for Sul Ross. AT STATE COLLEGE SUL ROSS 13.NEW MEXICO A. M. 12 The Lobos returned from New Mexico with a clean slate. The Aggies proved a worthy foe and it was only by dint of hard fighting that the Lobos were able to win. This was the first Aggie defeat on their home field in five years. The game, as a whole, was a bit slow, due to the sluggish condition of the field. The Aggies were the cleanest team met by the Lobos during the season. Eiglity-three KERMIT ALLEN Quarter A heady quarter back with plenty of fighting spirit—that was “Red”. He ran the team well and displayed excellent sportsmanship through¬ out the season. W. H. GRONDE Yell Leader The man behind the teams and the leader of the twelfth man, Gronde could always keep his crowd yelling, and his cry of “C’mon now bunch” never failed to inspire the Lobos. BKT REVIEW OF THE SEASON The close of the football season of ’25 found Sul Ross with the best football team she had ever put on the field. The Lobos won five out of eight games and amassed a total of one hundred and fifty-eight points to their opponents’ sixty. The first game with Randolph College ended in a victory for the Lobos by a twenty-six to nothing score. The team then journeyed to Brownwood and lost to Daniel Baker, six to nothing. The third game was with Sul Ross’ ancient enemy, the School of Mines. Lobo fight triumphed in a thirty-one to seven score. The next game was played with New Mexico A. M. and was a victory for Sul Ross, thirteen to twelve. In a loosely played game Sul Ross lost to Texas Tech at the San Angelo Fair, twenty-one to seven; on her own field, Sul Ross lost at the hands of the Schreiner Institute, seven to nothing. The next two games with McMurry and El Paso Junior College were victories for Sul Ross, by thirteen to seven, and sixty-eight to nothing, respectively.

Basketball Captain Lee Smith Eighty-seven Captain Lee Smith During the two years that Smith has played on the Lobo Squad, he has developed into one of the best guards in the state. He is especially good at long shots. Good natured and likable, he has made an excellent leader. Fuqua Younger This will make Younger’s second year with Sul Ross, and it will also bring him his second letter in basketball. Well-liked by his teammates and the student body, an agrcssive guard, he has been a happy addition to the Lobo bunch both years. Clifford Kell Kell made a perfect running mate for Townsend. With ability to come in for tip-offs, with his accuracy at passing and goal throwing, he was a valuable addition to the team. Eiglity-cight Wesley Townsend This is Townsend’s third year with the Sul Ross Basketball Team. He has been a star during his stay here, and his fighting spirit crops out in basketball as it does in football. He served as captain one year and his speed and accuracy have always made him a menace to his opponents. Paul Ford Ford made a name for himself in the games against the Texas Longhorns, with His all-around basketball playing. He has consistently out jumped every opposing center, and is a sure goal shooter. Fast on the court and good at team work, he was always a terror to the opposition. John Adams This season makes the fourth for Adams in Sul Ross. He never gives up, but fights from start to finish. As a stationary guard, Adams was one of the main-stays of the team. Eighty-nine Claude Brown Brown played on last year’s basket ball team, winning a sweater in the sport. He is fast and it is as a forward that he has stayed with the team. When Brown is at his best, he is one of the most accurate goal ringers on the pack. Bo Cavet Honorably mentioned as an all state high school man of last year, Cavet has proved himself worthy of a berth with the Lobos. He is a good guard, and his timely long shooting has been a big factor in winning games.

The organization sponsors and promotes the various sports carried on by the girls, as volley ball, tennis, swimming, rifle, and hiking. The attitude toward athletics for girls has been that of group activity and welfare rather than that of in¬ dividual supremacy. Since practically every girl in Sul Ross is a member of the W.A.A., it has been the most convenient medium for the planning of the recreational activities for girls. “Dress-up” parties, camps, and numerous hiking trips have served to bind the girls closer together, and to provide enjoyment for those who are least liable to find it in other extra curricular fields. Perhaps the greatest service W.A.A. could render the college would be that of functioning in the life of every girl — in balancing her activities, in providing for individual ex¬ pression, and in laying for each one the foundations of the friendships that mean so much to the college girl. ✓ Ninety-four HPP1TT -T«m GORDON-V.Pves.

Not only are the people of this section interested, but many letters have been received from people of widely scattered places. Many people of prominence in scientific fields have written to endorse the society, and some have asked permission to become charter members. Dr. Fewkes of Smith¬ sonian Institution made the statement that this particular section had greater possibilities than any other region north of Mexico, and that it had a further advantage in that it lies on a margin between the cliff-dwellers and plains-tribe civilizations. Other inquiries and letters of encouragement have been received from Arizona, California, and even Canada. The Society has about fifty-five members at present. In the museum the work of the classifier has grown from day to day. Many articles, both intrinsically and historically valued, have filled the six fire-proof cases, until a valued collection has already gathered. The anthropological specimens stand out above the rest in rarity and worth. Here there are beads of pure turquoise, aged specimens of Indian weaving and rope-making, and sandals and articles of pottery in an excellent state of pre¬ servation. There are many articles in the museum that were used hundreds of years ago by the Indians of West Texas. Besides these, the museum presents a range of specimens coming from Japan, the Fiji Islands, Lebanon, and other countries. One Hundred Twelve Judge IJoy ' JBean f T ' HE Big Bend country is peculiarly rich in legendary history and char- VL acters. One of the most interesting of its stories, founded on fact, is the history of one Judge Roy Bean, known as the “Law West of the Pecos”. In 1882 in the small town of Langtry, then called Vinegaron, Judge Bean settled. A self-appointed judge and juror, he was famous for his many novel decisions. Coming from the East, he set up his reign along the line of the Southern Pacific when the road was being built from San Antonio to El Paso. The largest railroad camp in the country was located at Langtry. Judge Bean saw prospects of some easy money; so he pitched camp and built a couple of shacks, —a home and a place of business. The sign that hung outside the saloon read, “Ice-cold Beer, Law West of the Pecos.” One of Judge Bean’s celebrated decisions was given in connection with the killing of a Chinaman, who was employed on the railroad. One night after pay One Hundred Thirteen Judge tr R y 3 ean (Continued) day, a gambler killed a Chinaman in a dispute over a card game. He was tried by Judge Bean on the front porch of the saloon, and found not guilty; for Bean said his law-book, which was an old Texas statute and the only written law he possessed, did not show that it was a violation of the law to kill a Chinaman. One other occurrence may be mentioned as proof that Judge Roy Beau was the ‘‘Law West of the Pecos”. Bean one day found a man dead on the railroad —murdered or killed accidentally, he knew not which; but in searching him, he found a pistol and forty dollars. He tried the dead man in his court and fined him forty dollars for carrying a gun. Another incident shows his supremacy as judge and juror over all that happened to come his way. A traveling man purchased a bottle of beer at Bean ' s saloon and paid with a twenty dollar bill. The bartender, not having the change, referred the customer to Judge Bean, who was playing cards in another part of the room. Terribly incensed at the interruption, Judge Bean fined the “defendant” nineteen dollars and seventy-five cents for “disturbing the court”. An interesting story is told of Judge Bean in connection with the naming of the town of Langtry. He had a visitor to his little town one day—the story runs —. 9 a gi r l named Nellie Langtry, who was posing as an actress. Bean be¬ came very fond of her and offered to build her an opera house of her own if she would come back and make the town her home. She partly promised; and, after she had gone he did build her a house—a sixteen by sixteen. He painted it white and had a sign placed across the front, “Lily Langtry ' s Opera House”. The town was called Langtry, and to this day it bears that name. Judge Bean said marriage ceremonies; he granted divorces; and he tried all manner of cases. In other words, he composed the city council, and the front porch of his saloon was his hall of justice. Judge Bean lived most of his life at Langtry; he died and was buried there. One Hundred Fourteen BRITT mrsoN GILLE5PIE THE WRITERS ' GUILD Richard Gillespie. President Nancy Watson. Sec’y and Treas. No education is complete which leaves knowledge in theoretical form. Our college curricula provide a basis for the activities of life, but necessarily the college must leave to the student the execution of the knowledge gained. With this idea in mind, in the fall of 1925, THE WRITERS’ GUILD was recognized as an active organization in Sul Ross. Membership is limited to those who have literary tendencies and are interested in the furtherance of literary art. THE WRITERS’ GUILD hopes to develop the latent talent of some, the active genius of others, and to provide for the rest a pleasing avocation. One Hundred Fifteen c he iBoss of he JcfA ,r Ranch Well do I remember our first meeting; it was on a beautiful evening in June. The sun was now scarce three hours high. Since the early hours of the morning I had ridden, not as a cowboy over the range, but hard and fast — to the limit of my horse — as a messenger with important news. How out of place trouble seemed in this beautiful, arid, rugged, wasteland near the Rio Grande. Quiet had reigned all day over the vast spaces of cactus, grease wood, and catclaw that lay about me in every direction. Quiet — save for the jingle of my spurs, the squeak of my saddle, or the hiss of the locust, at mid day, hidden in the sage brush. Perhaps a score of miles to the west the Chinati mountains loomed up, and in their foothills, my destination. The sun was low when I rode up to the corrals of the JA ranch. As I swung my horse up the trail that led from the Cibilo creek I beheld the “Boss” sitting on the top rail of the corral gate. His broad brimmed hat was pushed back on his head; a loose knotted, dull scarlet hand¬ kerchief sagged from his throat, and one casual thumb was hooked in a cartridge belt that slanted across his hips. As I approached the corrals he climbed down from his perch with the undulations of a tiger; smooth and easy, as if his muscles flowed beneath his skin. A slim young giant he was; more beautiful than a picture. “Good evening, son,” he greeted me, for my coming had been expected for days. His voice was gentle and drawling with a sunny southern accent. His face was weather beaten. His clothes were soiled with the dust of travel, but no shabbiness of garment or dust of travel could mar the splendor that seemed to radiate from this splendid young rider of the west. In his deep blue eyes, in his rugged clean cut face, in his graceful easy step, in the whole man, there dominated a sense of power. My message delivered, and astride a top horse of the JA brand, I bid the “Boss” good-bye and faded away into the black stillness of the night to carry my summons farther into the sparsely settled wasteland. As I rode that night, by guess and instinct, around the southern flank of the Chinati mountains, the “Boss” of the JA ranch seemed to be riding by my side. For, to me, he was the mountains and desert in one — quiet, sympathetic, steady, bold, and massive. And as I thought of him, I marveled at this handsome son of the west whose glance was so straight and frank and fearless. — R. W. M. tyrom the hilltop For thirty minutes I have been toiling up the hill side. Now, having reached the crest, I sit down with my back against an age-old boulder that is mottled with splotches of lavender and green and yellow lichens. I am tired, breathless, contented. The wind blows my hair in my eyes, and the late sunshine of a mellow afternoon leaves the print of its lips upon my face. A little butterfly brushes white wings against my fingers as it flits by, and a small, slick bug with a gray stripe down its back crawls over a rock. The hills are filled with stillness and wind and warm sun. Down there in the valley is the town — the brown and yellow town, green One Hundred Sixteen roofed. Its white roads interlace like a girl’s smooth fingers when her hands are folded. Its blossoming apple orchards are blots of color, soft and blurry like eiderdown baby blankets. And there, at the foot of my hill, is the abandoned cemetery I passed through on my way up. It is a cemetery where perhaps a half a hundred have slept for more than a decade — alone, a part, forgotten. Out of many of the sunken graves, grows a thriving abundance of cockle burs. White-face cattle run rampant over what mounds are left. Many of the grave stones lie face downward; others are gradually crumbling away. The few that remain tell an appealing story of those who died at sixteen, twenty-three, twenty-six, five, nineteen, thirty years of age. It is a graveyard of the young. From my hill the grave stones look like white dice rolled out of a careless hand upon the earth ’s brown surface; but there is one among them that is like a slender finger pointing up to God. I sit here on the summit of my hill, drinking in the sun and wind, and feeling life go pulsing through my body; but I cannot quit thinking of the dead down there at the foot of the hill. Lying there, silent and unseen, they seem unreal, remote, intangible; but the realization comes to me with dizzying poignance that once they lived, as I am living now; that once they sat, as I am sitting here, and drank in the wind and sun; that once to them, as it is to me today, death was unreal, remote, intangible. I know they had their dreams, their memories, their aspirations; that they reached out to life and asked for happiness and love. And then death took them. Eyes that were not tired were closed to seeing; hands that were not worn were stilled from doing; hearts that were not weary were sealed with silence. And they came down there to sleep while life was in its springtime. For them there is no more sun, no more wind, no more apple orchards, blurry white in blossom time. This thought makes me wonder with the poet: “Pocahontas’ body, l ovely as a poplar, sweet as a red haw in November or a pawpaw in May, did she wonder? does she remember? . . . in the dust, in the cool tombs ?” My heart tells me that these young people were not glad to die, that rest and safety had no charms for them. I have walked through the valley of the shadow of death, and have tasted the dregs of the cup; and I have found them bitter. I know that there was in those souls, as there is in mine, a love of battle, a zest for danger, a longing for attainment. No minister or philosopher can tell me that it is better to lie inert, unfeeling, even though with all peace and quiet¬ ness, there at the hilFs feet, than to climb with surging soul and singing heart to the hilFs crest. The sob that fills my throat and the tears that blind my eyes rise from the absurd pity of youth. I know that when I am old I can look upon those graves with complacence. But now, there is in my heart only pity for their young dead. Pity that they are dead to a world like mine, with a brown and yellow town and smooth roads interlacing. Pity that their only epitaphs are the memories that lie in somebody’s heart and white grave stones like dice upon the earth’s brown surface. But then, I am not forgetting the slender finger pointing up to God. — Freda Gibson. One Hundred Seventeen (Calendar tyall erm 1925 September 23, 24—Registration.

One Hundred Thirty ORIENT DEPOT The most beautiful and pleas¬ ing section of any city is the vicinity of the depot. Alpine is no exception to the rule. Here you see not only the magnificent edifice called the Orient Depot, but the surrounding beauty which is found only at Alpine on the “roof of the world.” BACK OF COLLEGE Campus scenes portraying the surrounding beauty of our col¬ lege always pull at our heart strings, as they bring memories of different beautiful angles of dear “Or Sul Ross.” Here we have a very pleasing angle; that of the back of our main build¬ ing. The windows, the grounds, and the very bricks in the wall are magnificent. BERKELEY HALL “The Dormitory for women has been thoroughly remodeled and no pains have been spared to make this an ideal home for young women who attend Sul Ross.” In this picture we see the proof of this statement. Could anything look more cosy or more restful than the beauti¬ ful shade trees in the distance, the washing on the line, or the long winding veranda with the tall white pillars which are themselves the symbol of old fashioned comfort ? This is what Berkeley Hall means to young women who want to live in a home of beauty and art. HEART OF THE CITY Long, straight avenues shaded on either side by tall, spreading, shady telephone posts! That’s Alpine. The pavement glistening like glass in the West Texas sun, the electric wires which lead to our electric signs and trolley cars, and the peculiar construction known as wind¬ mills, are all seen on the streets of Alpine. The Post Office is located on the corner of this beautiful street. One Hundred Tliirty-one KsiD JAMES SWANN Fish .Merkel, Texas Major — Cartooning; Minor — Flappers.

One Hundred Thirty-four THE SCANDAL SHEET STAFF We will not publish the names of the staff members, except to assure our trusting readers that the editor is not W. Burchard Pursel. THE BRIDGE KNOWS-AN EDITORIAL Inanimate objects often are capable of in¬ telligence, thinks a prominent biologist in the Freshman Class. The cub reporter of the staff, after having read this statement in one of the monthly-on-time publications (student), decided he would learn first hand from the bridge on College Avenue what that bridge’s philosophy of life might be. The bridge, on being questioned, made this statement: “You may quote me as saying that I wish only to relate those things in my life which might, in some measure, elevate my readers. “In the first place, I was not always thus. Time was when I was entirely wooden; I was easily shaken and not very safe. Even the Freshies can remember when my con¬ crete foundation was laid. ‘Oh, those many rideless days!’ I can hear you say. But I knew all along that I wanted a firm bottom that I might better serve you through making speeding safe and comfortable. “I can help you most by telling you how to get a ride: never look back at the on¬ coming car until it honks. Simple, yet it’s true. “Gay revellers have o’er me passed. Happy couples, linked and almost united, have slowly walked over my little brother, the footbridge. Lincolns, Stars, Fords hav£ passed over me day by day. I have truly met the world. “Then there were the bad Sub-Collegians who slipped under me to light their cedar- bark cigarettes, unseen by Mr. Cottle. On£ boy, not a Sub-Normal student, once looked out too quickly and got tar on his hat. Moral: A guilty smoker should be both wise and careful. “In conclusion you may say to my audience that I feel that all of us have a place in life. Mine is to keep you from falling into the ditch, actually, as Miss Cowan’s is, theoretically.” FIND THE SLIME Slime Cody was lost in Jit Ford’s litt le red riding sweater at the Dormitory this morning.

Young College Miss Meets Oncoming Engineer in Dodge Bravely Friends and faculty alike were shocked at the narrow escape of Miss Triplett and Mr. Handsome last Saturday when the plucky Chevrolet of the former tried to combat the heavier Dodge of the latter on the Bridge near Bro. Penrod’s house. Conflicting tales are told, but by-standing pedestrians believe the fault to be mostly with the city government for not placing a policeman on this congested pontoon. Miss Triplett lost a rosy pink complexion and was late to Miss Parsell’s English class. Mr. Handsome had a bent fender and for¬ got the mail (noon). No paid up insurance was toted by either contestant. IiEARN the charleston Why be a wall flower? Plenty of young men and women are taking advantage of the Loeffler method of modern Charlestoning.

Horace Morelock. 2c-3-4t NIGHT Night — cold night, still night A hush of the infinite o’er all Earth Creatures of every kind asleep, Wrapped in Night’s all enveloping sleeve — A cry-a crash-a scream-a thud! A flashing on of lights, a gasp as warm feet touch frigid floors. A hurrying of feet—a low moan Quiet — breathless quiet — still night. “Why don’t you get in on time so we wouldn’t have to pay for so many broken window panes?” — Selected.

We have completed, in a way, what we undertook to do. Of course, we have erred. What we so enthusiastically planned as innovations in year books, we found had been used by other staffs. Our new sections have dwindled to ordinary pages. Our “bright ideas” have become dingy in their execution. Yet we are happy with it all. Even the budget¬ ing of expenses unexpected has been a pleasure. And here we would pause in appreciation of the co¬ operation of our friends, the business men of the Big Bend, who have contributed so largely to our success. They have never yet failed us; may we prove worthy of their faith. In this connection, also, may we thank you who belong more particularly to us, our fellow students. You have made our year-book possible. May the Brand of ’26 be a pleasant reminder of a year well spent. The Staff.
