vas over and Third Floor Ross" was
taken out of the hands OF ashes" Burt
and Schmitz.
While the band had been planning
trip over the state ever since Xmas,
these plans have never materialized.
However. the excursion TO Brenham
will well make up for an extended
tour. Such hospitality and good VIII
as was shown there would be hard TO
find elsewhere. Everyone seemed to
consider IL his special duty and priv
ilege to see that every cadet. whether

fine time. A cadets money might
have been counterfeit for all the good
Il did. Entrance into all the games
parks and entertainments were free

ton. The boys from A. and NJ. who
had the pleasure OF attending this
Malfest will always remember II and
