During the course of the meet

Spanish Club In
First Meeting
The Spanish Club had its first
meeting October 2, 1945 in the
Rural Arts Building. There were
about fifteen new members.
Some of the plans for the fol
lowing year were to study, in de
tail, Spanish-American countries,
learn Spanish songs, write to
some Spanish speaking people,
and get some movies for the club.
It was decided that refresh
ments would be served at each
meeting and Lynette Sharp was
oppointed chairman of the re
freshment committee.
At the next meeting the old
members are going to initiate the
new ones.
The officers of the Club are as
follows: Ruth Bowen, President;
Louise Hendrix, Vice-president;
and Martha Beck, Secretary and
Treasurer. The faculty advisor
is Mr. Adams.
V. R. A. Begins
Year's Work
The Voluntary Religious Asso
ciation began its year’s work with
the welcoming of the freshmen
during the week-end of registra
tion. This continuation of an old
custom proved very successful.
The council also entertained
the faculty and student body with
a tea in Mandeville Hall Septem
ber 23.
Application blanks for mem
bership in the V.R.A. council
have been distributed among the
students. The new members will
be chosen at an early date.
Four meetings have been held
this quarter. Plans for further
activity are now under way.
The eight remaining members
of last year’s council are Doris
McKinney, Grace Wright, Emily
Barrett, Mary Grace Sherrill,
Carolyn Davenport, Oliver Lind
sey, Kathryn Hackney, and Mar
garet Martin.

On The Square
Life In The B Barracks, Or
Who Threw That Brick??!!
You might observe, if you are
in an observing mood after lis
tening to the hideous din of 20
shrieking boys, that life in the
barracks can be divided into two
phases—the gwud and the bad.
Here, we look only to the sunny
side and consider the bad.
Crash!! Bang!! Whirrrr! Oh,
that? Don’t mind that. It’s just a
mosquito in a power dive with Mc-
Kibben hot on his trail. Last
month he killed one. Ego! Gosh!
Now what? Just Jimmy Jones’
weird clarinet playing accompani
ed by thunderous roars issuing
from the bucal cavity of one
Buck sstes. Whatta pair! All
they do is discuss the various
merits of "Martha-Lou” etc.
In the next room dwell that
sweet trumpeter Davie and John,
"Pure Corn”, Bishop. They are
always the last to get up in the
morning. Confidentially, after
the first look, you wish they’d
stayed in bed! Bedraggled is
hardly the word for it!
Who’s singing next door?
Could it be "Brit” Beasley growl
ing—"Juanita, ask thy soul if we
should part?” and Oliver, dear
O-liver grinning bashfully and
asking, "Did you see that girl
trying to dance close to me last
night.” No, we didn’t.
Of late the last room is the
quietest on this end of the hall

but only because his roommates
bound and gagged Mark Hol
lingsworth. Incidentally, this
room was once the resting place
of the much travelled refrigera
tor that belongs to "A” Barracks.
Shall we journey to the other
end of the hall? There live wild,
uncivilized tribes under the lead
ership of their Manhattan Latin
Chief, Trentus Stoutus. Ah yes,
there’s old Trentus himself grunt
ing amiably as his slumber-chum,
"Geisha Girl” Putnam fans the
flies.- Trenton claims it makes
him crosseyed to watch them.
Ever heard Putnam croon over
the ’phone? Then you must listen
in sometime.
Hence on down the line ’till we
get to our House Master, Dr. J.
A. Doubles. The J. A. stands
for Jack’s Assistant. If you don’t

is Jack. See?

Doc’s eye when he mentions poly

philosophical mood.
A word to the wise should be
sufficient, so I’ll say no more.
Adios, adieu, au revoir, and good
bye.
