2 THE BATTALION will take things into their own hands and see that you support it and at- tend its meetings. But this will never be necessary for every freshman of the class of ’25, has the good old A. and M. spirit and will do his part towards making a good freshman class. THE PANHANDLE CLUB. The Panhandle Club met with usual “vim, vigor and vitality” Monday night after yell practice. In spite of the fact that some of the old men were unable to attend on account of conflicting duties there were 31 pres- ent. Of this number 13 were fish. There are several more fish on the campus that we expect to have out at the next meeting. It is also hoped that all of the old men can be pres- ent another time. The hospitality shown the new men had all of the ear marks of the west- ern variety. The members had an abundant supply of pep after their vacation in the Garden Spot of Tex- as. Correspondence has been started with the C. I. A. Club concerning the annual banquet and dance held by them at the Amarillo Hotel. If the A. and M. boys have their way the one held next summer will have 100 per cent attendance. It was sug- gested that all the C. I. A. and A. and M. ex-students be invited to attend. Men from' the Panhandle come out at the next meeting. We are a few a long way from home. Lets get to- gether now and then and keep the “home fires burning.” LAMAR RED RIVER COUNTY CLUB. The boys from Lamar and Red River counties met Friday night, Oct. 14, 1921, and organized The Lamar Red River County Club. At present the membership of this club is very small, but in the near future we hope to make this one of the largest clubs at A. and M. Col- lege. This club mets every first and third Friday of each month. If there is any one from the above counties that is not a member of this club, they will please report to room 23 Pfreuffer. HOUSTON CLUB. The Houston Club held its first meeting of the year last Monday night for the purpose of electing of- ficers and discussing the policies of the club for the ensuing year. The following officers were elected: D. D. Giles, president; C. W. Hurley, vice president; J. F. Currie, seci’e- tary-treasurer. The Houston boys hooted hoarsely for “Hootie” from Houston. RUSK-NACOGDOCHES. On Monday night October 10, 1921, all the boys from both Rusk and Nacogdoches counties met to reor- ganize the Rusk-Nacogdoches County Club. After the election of officers, plans were discussed for presenting the different phases of the college to the boys back home. It was agreed that the club would send a Battalion and a Longhorn to each high school represented in the club. Sixteen members were entered on the roll and by the enthusiasm and pep shown, the club promises to be one of the best organizations of its kind on the campus. Already plans are being made for entertainments and outings for the club during the year and a great time is looked for- ward to by all the members. Cell No. 61, Aggieland, Tex. Dear “Old Man:” I was indeed surprised to hear that you were a oil Maget in the wilds of Oklahoma. I am very sorry to see that you are “pigeonholed” in that den of iniquity. I want you to know that I am not worrying about that five spot that you borrowed from me last Thanksgiving, however I no- ticed a mighty good looking hat in Waldrops window the other day and the price was only five dollars? I still have that hardboiled shirt of yours in my room. I haven’t worn it since the R. V. as you know I held the sack at the final last year. How- ever it has served it’s purpose as a dresser scarf. I suppose that you noticed in the “Squirt” that we' broke the Mus- tangs in last Wednesday. About three hundred of us went to Dallas to see the game. We had an awful trip, in the first place the freight was late and then the crews changed at Innis and so did we. By the way if you intend to come down to the Thanksgiving game you had better come before October 30, as the freight trains quit running then. I didn’t mind changing there but I had an awful time keeping Sangster Biz- zell from whipping the brakeman. We had great “gobs” of fun and hamburgers at the fair. Believe me there surely was a mob of “Coufiter- jumping” Queens up ther. Say do you remember that girl that Antone Dwyer had down to the R. V. last year? I bought six hamburgers for her trying to get her to come down Thanksgiving, but no such luck as Antone. I wish that you would send back that pair of dancing pumps you bor- rowed, for the Brazos river has been up all year and we have been having a large attendance at the corps dances this year. Felix Currie was elected Social Secretary and bought himself a new pair of boots after the first dance, though he swears that he went in the hole. I guess I’ll have to close now as I have to copy a speech for Brackett. Hike McConnell said for you to be sure and send him that pair of brindle colored dice back for he is broke again. Pipe me that oily line again real soon as I enjoy every drop. I remain your old nestie, RUFUS. P.
