and pecially of very editorial board hat it' o and if po ibl b tt r than t ho. e which have u h a ho1 that the la of Ninete n Hundr d

prec ded it. It i with Twenty- ix pre ent thi RA LE. E litorial ar a remarkabl in titution : Th y might b defined a a ort of br a twork from behind whi h one m ay throw bomb or bouquet a one ee fit with comparativ afety, thu in piring a fran kne ometime attainable. We a k no uch prot ction.

No matter how much we lov and re pect old olby we mu not t urn our ba k upon her faul t for in their corr tion li our great t oppor unity to erve her. One of the out tandino- vii in 'olby to-day, a we ee it, i t h abominable y tern of ru bing now in u e among h fraternitie in h Men Divi ion . The t udent ouncil ha r ognized tha the pr ent cut-throat met hod of ru hing i workino- a not iceal le harm in the olleg in that it t nd to build up a fraterni y spirit rat her than a olby piri . Two propo al were mad advocating different y tern ith r one of whi h wa an improv m nt upon th pr ent y tern. The e were ubmitted to the tud nt body for on idera ion but were finally rejected by the ouncil . The encouraging par of thi whole proce ding em to be th awakenino- of the oil g to the eriou ne of the ituation and an evident de ire to rem dy i . However, after car ful thought, t he ORA LE would ugge t that if t he d ired Utopia cannot b attained at one bound , better take t ps toward it than tand till. In other word -let' top pitting on our hand and get to work .

For a long time we have been threat ning to get a new crymna ium. In fact it ha b en one of our pet pi pe dream for everal college generation . Up until thi year we have been willing to let the Alumni do it all while we at back and did th heavy looking on. Now a far a the ORACLE can find out the tudent are till willing to have the Alumni do thi and po ibly t here would be no very great obj ection to ome one per on making the College uch a gift , but if a new gym is not forthcom ing from these source t he student body has made it clear that it is going after it in dead earne t . Such a. pirit i to be praised and en­ couraged.

Several new organizations have made their appearance on the campus thi year. They are indi cative of the growth and d velopment of Colby. They are, Pi Gamma Mu (Honorary) , Powder and Wig, and the Colby Pre s Club. Un­ fortunately only the la t named was formed in time to be represented in the fol­ lowing page . Pi Gamma M u is an honorary society organized under the gui­ dance of Profes or Morrow for students intere ted in economic and the social sciences. The Powder and Wig is, as the name suggests, a dramatic society formed in the Men' D ivision to corre pond to the Dramatic Club among the ·

Women of t he College. The obj ect and aim of t he Colb) Pre lub i explained el ewhere in t he book . This club i ponsored by Dr. Libby.

A t t he time of writing t here i agitat ion for the formation of a Non-Athletic ouncil to be modeled somewhat upon t he existing A thletic Council. The pur­ po e of t h i ouncil i not to change t he policie of an) of t he member organiza­ tions but rather to act in an ad vi ory capacit and to create a permanent y tern of audit ing t he book of each organization . In principle t he cheme i very good and "ill no doubt, prove helpful and all that remains is to work out the detail t o t he a t i fact ion of a l l . T h e i dea originated "ith t h e faculty a n d will have t h e cooperation o f the tudent provided i i carried o n i n the right piri t . Any pTOvi ion to make Colby a better college will be heartil endor ed by the ORA LE. For a while t hi ear rumors were floating about t he campu t o the effect hat Colby wa to have another cro -country debating t rip. It i s t he opinion of the O R A LE t hat olby hould ee at lea t one such t ri p made every college genera­ tion. The year before t he pre ent enior cla entered a very ucces ful tri p wa made to he we t. Let 's make it quadrennial olby.

At no time during her hi tor ha Colby offered uch a variety of fi ne course a he now doe . The new department of Bu i ne s Admini t ration has proved very popular under Profe or Auffinger and in the newe t addition to t he facult , Profe or H ayne , olby ha been extremely fortunate. The number of t udent maj oring in t he ocial ciences and in p ychology and educa ion would eem to indicate t hat the e are growing departments. They are a pre ent overcrowded.

The fini hing of t he t hird floor of oburn Hall ha helped relieve the conge t ion i n ome of t he other cla room . Any inconveniences we now uffer are but growing pains and indicate the increasing popularity of olby.

Athl t icall) the year has been only moderately succe ful if one count ucce by champion hip won. In football we had a team with a great spirit and a great coach. Although unable t o win the entire State erie we were a good econd and are looking forward to a championship next fall. The hockey t eam howed the same pirit and de erve a lot of credit . Track and baseball have yet t o prove t hemselves but we are confident that t hey will give us everything t hey have. The year ha , however, been the mo t succe sful yet from t he point of the number of t udents actively engaged i n athletics and, according to President Robert and Profe sor Edwards this is t he ummum bonum of phy ical education.

Appreciation The O R A LE wi he t o t hank Profe or farriner Rollin and Libby for their very helpful aid and ugge t ions.

The O RA C LE is al o indebted to Allan Hilton, ' 27, for t he use of his fi ne view of our campus.

The O RACLE appreciates greatly t he cooperation of the merchant of Waterville and el ewhere who have adverti ed i n thi book.

�rnior Š hum lff httory Another commencement is approaching¡ another group of students is soon to file in stately procession before t he chief executive of the college, and from him receive the time-honored parchment which changes them from undergraduates to alumni, t hus reaching t he zenith of their college careers.

The four years we have spent. at Colby have been most pleasant. We know we are better for having been here. We hope that our attempts t o advance t he ideals and traditions of the college have not been in vain, and t hat some day our Alma Mat .e r will beam with pride because she reckons us among her children.

The boastful days of our youth are long since past, and in the calm, dignified t ranquillity of Senior reticence, we need no silver-tongued herald with brazen t rumpet to shout our glorious achievements. Ours is a record which speaks louder than any words. It tells of struggles and triumphs, of j oys and sorrows, of the verdancy of the freshman and the folly of the sophomore.

But now those exacting days are drawing to a close. Let us ever take pride in saying that the happiest days of our lives were t hose spent in Colby, and among the m ost delightful reminiscences of t hat period, let us regard with deep emotion the associations which center about t he figures we have learned to love so well-1 926.

Fair Colby, we turn to you for your parting blessing. We must now depart but you shall remain steadfa t and t rue to your purpose ; ever prospering and strengthening. And you may know that no matter where we may be or what paths om efforts will follow, we will be loyal.

�npqnmnre Q!la.as lllistnry Every class makes the boast that it is the best ever and quite rightly for no class without that spirit is worthy even so much as to be called "freshman. " However, everyone knows that all cannot b e the best and s o i t remains for each class to attempt to prove that its statement is but a modest assertion.

Now it is in this place that most classes fall down and only we who are truly great are able to meet the test with flying colors .

Actions have ever spoken louder than words and so it is not all at strange that, above the din of ordinary classes, the clarion call of the shining deeds of 1 928 is clearly heard. In this call one recognizes the harmony, coordination, and smoothness of a great organ along with the power and challange of the Waterville fire whistle.

G reat? Yea, verily, we were born great, we have acquired greatness, and greatness bas been thrust upon us, i n fact, our greatness is only surpassed by our modesty.

lf1rrnqman QHan.a f!;tntnry On t he morning of September 1 7, 1 925, "' e, t he largest Fre hman Clas and, without doubt , t he best i n the history of Colby allege, began t he first of our almo t daily j ourneys back and forth along t he campu walks edged by towering elm . One hundred and fifty strong we were and although we have lo t a few of t hose who were with us t hat first day, later arrival have kept our number at t he same mark.

Every tate in New England has a t least one representat ive in ow¡ l a and out ide of New England, Canada and three other states have son t o u phold their honor. I n pite of the fact that our member hailed from so many different tate the Class soon gathered t ogether and has shown a plendid spiri of coopera­ t ion and harmony in all college activities.

Our Freshman Banquet was an unqualified succe s and our Cla football team had a plendid season winning a maj ori y of it game Many of the team are recognized as var ity material for next year .

Quality a nd Quantity are words which d e cribe o u r Cla exactly.

�nµqnmnrr QHmrn iliiatnry " The event t hat is not recorded may be the beginning of an epoch . ' When w e , the class o f 1 928, entered Colby College, nobody seemed t o be especially excited about the fact of our arrival. We were only "a new bunch of fre hmen" destined to be the humble, down-trodden servants of the upper­ cla men. We have survived, somehow or other, the humility of ever being the l ast in the procession and of countless razzings punctuated with the word " green. " Along with all t hese, however, we have also experienced the helpfu l uplift and t he vitalizing inspiration which Colby gives to all who have known and loved her. v e have learned to appreciate the privileges she offers, and to love and honor her name.

Now, at the beginning of our second year, we have found ourselves con­ fronted by a huge task ; namely, to hand on t o this yea� 's "infants" all that we have received.

So, after considering this responsibility, we have concluded t hat "example is better than precept . " We intend to set a new and higher standard of excellence for all the classes to follow, t hat our entrance may mark the beginning of an epoch in the history of Colby College. So we have resolved to radiate the best Colby S pirit, to be the best athletes, the best students, t he best Chri tian workers, and the be t all-round class that Colby has ever known.

1J1rrsqmnu Šlass i!;istnry Never before in t he history of Colby has a freshman class such a ours been known. We are different-yes, very different . N ot in color perhaps, for we are t he same proverbial "green ¡ ' not in wisdom either, for we are equally as "dumb" a any of our esteemed predecessors-but we are undeniably different. The difference lies not i n any such materialistic quality as "verdancy" or "dumbness , " but r a h e r it is t o b e found in something of far greater i mport-in something of a deeper more profound significance-namely, in spirit. By spirit we mean not only class pirit-but also college spirit-that is, a deep and loyal reverence for olby. And, having once imbibed this spirit, we shall never let it slip from us but rather, shall we retain it that it may serve as a "lamp in t he desert " in our later years.

Roger Adams Stinchfield C LASS ODE We gather today, Alma Mater, To sing thy praises and fame ; 'Tis true that in years that come later We'll ever remember thy name.

We look to the future with pleasure, Though dim paths may lead the way, Trusting that fortune's good measure May rest with the Blue and the Gray.

The willows stand forth in their beauty, A symbol of old Colby's love, Reminding us all that our duty Finds honor and glory above.

Though there is but one year remaining, The time of departure draws near, We'll pass through life e'er retaining That love for our Colby so dear.

The Student League of the Women D ivision of Colby College was founded and given active powers by the faculty in 1922. Its object is to regulate order and decorum among the women in the dormitories and in the city of Waterville.

All women registered at Colby are members.

Besides the active officers it has an executive board consisting of Dean Nettie M. Runnals, Adelaide Gordon, Marguerite Chase, Dorothy Hannaford, and a representative from each of the four classes.

The Student League has, besides its other meetings, two regular meetings a year, one in the spring and one in the fall to read the constitution and to make amendments. Mass meetings are called by the president whenever needed.

1!lruirm nf 111notball �rason ar in with but four l t ter men t h foot ball outlook at olby la t fall was far from bright. M uch of th hop for ev n a fair a on wa pinned upon the men r cruit d from th fre hman team of 1924.

Th revival of h u tom of having a football t raining camp aided greatly.

The men w r gat her d t og t h r at the Y . M. . A. amp at Winthrop Center and put t hrough a w k of very int n ive ondit ioning. There Coach Roundy in­ till d into t he quad a pirit which wa to offset th ir lack of experience and which later wa t o prov uch a factor in heir play a t o be noticeable even t o the fans.

B rown niver ity wa the fir t opponent on th che iule. olby had the honor of playing t he e ond gam ever playe l in t he n w Brown t adium. While we cam out on th wrong end of a 33-0 cor t he game erved its purpo e. in giving t he men experience and confiden . Thi lat ter may ound contradictory in the fac of uch a core unl one know hat it was generally conceded t hat for the fir half th olby Jin out-played it heavier opponent and only weakened again t Brown' emingly inexhau tibl upply of fre h men. Brown was fore d to ke p h r fa t t ring men in for three quarter of the game.

The game with niver ity of N w Hamp hire had t o be cancelled due to the wild t orm which env loped "' aterville on t hat date.

By bu t he t am j ourney d t o Low 1 1 wh re it wamp d the w ak Lowell Textile team 33-0. The gam wa low, due omewhat to t he oft c ihdition of t he field. G reek m t G reek in thi conte t for the Lowell team wa coached by a former olby tar, Ed lie Cawley.

The next aturday aw t he opening of t he tate erie with t he White Mule invading t he lair of the Polar Bear. The odd were about even, Bowdoin being the great favorit at t he beginning and olby the favorite at the end . The dopesters counted \vithout th kick of t he Mule. Farrington, Bowdoin' big threat , wa moth red comp! tely and Colby emerged from the fray a victor by the score of 1 0-7.

Brown Bear are evidently more dangerou to V\ bite M ule t han t heir \i\ hite brother for the powerful M aine eleven t ramped into Waterville, t ramped all the time t hey were here, and tramped out again with a 27-6 victory. The core fa­ vored Maine 7-6 at t he beginning of t he la t period and t hen Colby, de perate, took a chance and lo t. The olby team t hen proceeded to break the world's altitude record.

Main t ook more t han a game from olby for when t he latter opened against t. tephen the following week eight of the regular graced the bench because of inj urie . The New Yorker at once tarted a lively argument and b fore they had finished it had cored a touchdown and goal and were seven points to t he good.

At intervals the cripple were inj ected into t he fray and about the middle of the t hird quarter Colby t ook a brace and t hrew t he St. Stephen backs for a thirty yard loss in five plays. Colby then took the ball over for a touchdown but failed to kick the goal . With j ust seven minute to go Colby tarted another march and carried t he ball fifty yard only to be robbed of another touchdown by the final gun when but one yard from the line. .

Bates clo ed the Colby schedule on Armistice Day. The much touted over­ head game of the Bobcats wa u eless again t the speed and vigilance of the Colby gridder . Only once did Bates complete a forward pass of any 1 ngth and this served only to make Colby more vigilant. While holding their opponents score­ less Colby was piling up 19 points of her own. Thu the defeat of last year was more than avenged and Colby once more (let us hope) started on an unbroken string of victories over the Lewiston college.

our n w oach Eddie Roundy ounded the fir t call Among th many who re ponded wer everal veterans including Capt.

McGowan, Fager tram, utler, 1 uir mart , Bob Fran en, and Ev . Fra.n en. Pro pect were exceedingly bright for a hampion hip year, although th pitching department wa problematical.

Corbett , Heal and Trainor prov d to be the main tay on the pitching taff, Corbett won all three of our Stat erie gam , while the oth r two men did very creditable work in the other games.

The first game wa played in Waterville, an xhibit ion game between Maine and Colby.

Trainor pitched ma terl ball for the fir t four inning , but in the fifth the Maine luggers got to hi offering and ewed up the game. The final count wa 9 to 3.

On pril 26th., t he team tarted on it fir t road trip, and won it first game of the season again t Lowell Textile. Corb tt and Trainor were in the box with Cha e at the receiving end. icGowan and Bob Fransen provided the batt ing featme , th former getting fom bingles while Bob collected three. The final core wa to 7.

Colby won her second game on t he trip, which wa played with t he Connecticut Aggies.

Ma on, another Fre hman, pitched good ball and Colby won ea ily 10 to 4.

On the following day Colby won from We leyan 9 to 2. Heal kept the We leyan hits well attered, while hi teammate contmued their heavy clouting. Peabody got four hit including a homer, while McGowan and Bob Fransen also fattened theu· average .

On M ay 2nd., Colby lo t her fir t tate Serie game o Bowdoin at Brun wick. The ineffec­ tivene of the Colby pitcher coup! d with needle error was re pon ible for the defeat. Colby put four runs aero in the seventh but Bowdoin won to the tune of 8 to 5.

Page one h undred sixty-six

Playing a great brand of ball, t he Colby team defeated Bates in Waterville. Corbett went the whole route and had the Bates men eating out of his hand. Bob Fran en, Pea bod) and Smart were t he shining lights in t he field. Peabody hit his third homer of t he sea on. cor 4 to 3.

Bates turned the tables on Colby a week later when Hamilton allowed the Colby batters but fou� hits. Texas leaguers from Corbe t t 's offerings gave Bates t he victory in t he eight h. It was anybody' game until t hen. Score 9 to 3.

Colby again got into t he win column on M ay 20th. , by taking Bowdoin' measure 3 to 2 in a twelve inning battle. Corbett and Grey staged a pitching dual the former having the edge. I c­ Gowan's single in the twelfth with a man on second won the game.

The players again found their batting eyes again t Tufts to the tune of 15 afe hit . allowed nine hits but kept t.hem well cat tered.

Trainor

ortheastern proved to be easy, the final score being 8 to 0. Heal pitched effectively a did f oir who relieved him. Jim Peabody poled out two homer. bringing his total to five.

The next t a te Series game was played with faine in Waterville. The game wa played in a ea of mud. Heal and Cro ier pitched good ball, but the latter wa more effective in the pinche , thus giving- M aine 2 to 1 margin.

On May 28t h . , the Colby team started on her econd out of tate t rip. The fir t game again t Tuft resulted in a 1 1 to 9 score. Corbett wa hit bard but hi. teammates al o went on a lugging bee.

Colby won the seco d game 4 to 2 against ortheastern. The game lasted only five innings, but during that time the t am played heads up baseball. Trainor wa in the I ox. a

The closing game of t he schedule was played at Orono. home r u n b y Cutler in t h e ninth.

Colby won t his conte t 7-6 thanks t o

1!\rlay Colby was repre ented at the annual game of the Millrose Athletic Associa­ tion held in Madison Square Garden, New York City, on February fourth by the first two mile quartet in the hi tory of the college. The competition wa a bit too much for t he Colby men, however, and they finished behind teams representing Boston College, Columbia Univer ity, and Syracuse University. The men who composed the team were : Captain harles J. Sansone '28 of Norwood, Mass . , Russell F . Brown ' 2 6 o f Fairfield, James Brudno ' 2 7 o f Newburyport, Mass . , and Everett E. Franzen '26 of Lynn, Mass.

Two days later at the games of the Boston Athletic Association held at the B oston Arena, Bo ton University with the fastest one mile team in the history of that school defeated Colby for the first time in six years. This race was close throughout and the Boston team won only by remarkable running and excellent teamwork. The men who composed that team were Captain Sansone, Brown, Franzen, and Edward R. Newhall '28 of Lynn, Mass.

On the fifteenth of February at the annual games of the Portland American Legion held in the Exposition Building, Portland, the University of New H amp­ shire runners ran the second fastest time of the evening to defeat the Colby one mile team by a scant margin after the closest race of the Colby Season. The team was composed of Captain Sansone, Brown, Newhall, and Frederick E. B aker '27 of Portland.

Dll nmrn's Qlnlby iay The fall of 1 925 brought back another Colby Day which was celebrated with the usual zest and enthusiasm. It succeeded in being, as all Colby Days do, the "best one yet . " The Colby Day o f 1925 came o n October 30th. A good quota o f alumnae were back to sing college songs and to renew their Colby spirit in an active way.

All the dormitories kept open house and old grads. viewed the changes which had taken place since their ojourn here.

At eight o'clock everyone gathered in Foss Hall dining room. The evening opened with a "Welcome" by Dean Runnals '08 . Then followed the class speakers all of whom spoke on : "What Colby means to me. " Carolyn Herrick ' 29 represented the freshmen, Edna Cohen '28 the sophomores, Frances Nason '27 the juniors, and I rma Davis '26 the seniors. Ethel H ayward Weston '08 represented the alumnae.

The entertainment "A Pageant of Colby" was furnished by the D ramatic Club. This covered the three distinct periods of Colby H istory which concerns women : 1875, 1 900, and 1 925. All the changes in college dress, recreation, and activities were shown.

Another Colby D ay closed with class songs, cheers, and the singing of the " Alma Mater. "

:!lrn'.a QJ:nlby Nigqt That Colby is growing, not only in size, but in life and spirit was shown by the enthu iastic reception of Colby Night on October 30th. With the Maine game impending on the morrow and the well earned victory at Brunswick fresh in their mind the students, alumni, and friends gave vent to their pent up feelings in a tremendous effusion of noise, toutly reenforced by Al Wassel and his band . aid band, unexcelled in music and cla s, is a source of pride to the college.

The succe s of previous Colby Nights has largely depended upon the virile presence of Pre ident R obert . His absence on this gala occasion was mitigated, to a large extent , by the reading of his cheering telegram .

Profe or Marriner, '02, ably executed his official capacity as master of cere足 moni . It was largely due to his effort and effective introductions t hat the affair progressed so successfully. The old Gym was filled to the utmost and loud was each peaker's ovation .

Mayor Baird was the first speaker on the varied program . Speaking for the city of '' aterville he stated that the citizens realized the immense value of the col lege to them and were solidly behind it at all time .

Albert Raymond Roger , ' 1 7, and captain of the Championship team of that year was the next one called on. He voiced his praise for the team and his con足 fidence in i t ' s ability. " Doc Edwards, D irector of Physical Education, next took the floor. \\ hen the cheers of the assembled multitude had subsided he mentioned how the interest and pirit had i mproved at Colby during the last five years and complimented the band on their splendid organization. A beautiful and useful baton was presented by him to Al Wassel on behalf of the Alumni as a token of their appreciation of hi conscientious efforts in the development of the band . .

D r . M arquardt, beloved and revered member of the faculty, and remembered by all Grad and " Friends" was greeted with great acclaim . In his little talk, i ntere ting and effective as ever, he recommended hard work as a reci pe for over足 coming all difficulties.

The undergraduates were represented by D onald Sprague '26 who oratorically empha ized the issue paramount even to the Championship, Colby S pirit.

Captain Keith and Coach R oundy followed, representing the stalwart grid足 men. Keith brought the simple message, " We are ready, " and Roundy praised the student support and urged it's continuance .

The main speaker of the evening was V\ illiam C. Crawford of B oston, who in a rather lengthy disquisition e mphasized the admirable qualities of faith, hard work, and conscientious perseverance.

Following Mike Ryan, who gave one of his inspiring " fight talks , " came "Bill" Cowing, one of Colby's greatest athletes. His was the closing speech and in it he advised Colby to plug hard if she wished to win games.

The remainder of the program consisted of noise and eats. Songleader J ack hoate '20 and Cheerleaders B erry, H awes, Ayer, Berry, Richardson, and Allen with the band uperintending the production of the former and " Chef" \\ e; mouth the production of the latter.

inn {@uixntr hr la 1Rnhilla (Don Quixote of the Dishrag.)

By K . H . Cas ens Rozinante was tethered in Peter Marden's back yard . Well, perhaps that is a mistake ; it wasn' t exactly Peter's back yard, but rather the common back yard of a number of folk, for it was attached to the rear of a coal-grimed ancient dwell­ ing place, whose walls had once seen candles and velvet, but now-smoke and dust. In other words, it was a mansion sunk to dull , dead, commercial levels-a boarding place. The only redeeming feature it possessed was a gifted imagina­ tion-and that was surrounded by Peter Marden . What i f he was only a dish­ washer in a fifth-class restaurant? Did he not have Rozinante? Did he not have sufficient funds for a vacation of limited duration? Well, then ; what was to prevent a modern's going out for knight-errantry? Why could he not follow the footsteps of that ancient one who dared to dream his dreams where the world­ and Cervantes-might look on and laugh?

And so, in lieu of a regular "nag," a flivver that had seen better days-many of them-was waiting to bear Don Pedro de Marden, of Bill 's Cash Lunch in search of adventure and romance. It might be well to describe Rozinante in further detail. True, you could not have counted her ribs, for she hadn't any ; and neither could you count her rattles-but not by any means because she had none of them !

She must have once had a very rakish appearance, for she was apparently designed for racing purposes, and had a sort of conning tower erected over the driver's seat to protect him from rain or snow if he might choose to drive i n them. A cargo space j utted out to the rear, and a bumping of tools and a miscellaneous collection of j unk that Rozinante had worn out but might use again in case of emergency added force to the opinion qf anybody within five miles that "some­ thing must be coming . " That didn't worry Peter. If Rozinante should ever run a mile without a rattle or a clang-well , Peter would probably climb out and tie a tin can onto the rear axle to keep from being lonesome.

One famous Wednesday afternoon found Peter Marden's " position" vacant, and Peter was ready to go. Peter was young, and, even though he had to sacri­ fice his j ob in order to take a vacation, he ought to be able to find another ; and so he was carefree. He was a city product, and, as city people usually are, as "green as they make 'em . " He could, perhaps, if hard put to it, have told a cow from a sheep ; but if it came to distinguishing a dog-tooth violet from an arbutus, or an oriole from a chicken hawk, Peter would have been helpless. He was pallid, not as city people go, but as the country rates paleness ; and would probably have collapsed after an hour of pitching hay. In short, Peter was one of the things that the city delights to turn out-a likable enough man, but awfully dumb.

It's about time to start the action. One o'clock Wednesday afternoon found Peter wiping his l ast dish, and at two he was diligently twisting Rozinante's tail .

A splutter and a roar announced Rozinante's readiness to go, and Peter clambered aboard, seized the wheel, looked around for the last time, and eased Rozinante in gear. Rozinante was a temperamental steed, and was aging ; and demanded a good deal of coaxing and petting ordinarily before she would move. That is the disadvantage of letting family pets be sold in the open market-they expect petting from their new owners. Rozinante got hers-and a great deal else on

Page t wo hu ndred

m any occasions. Although it does a car no good, kicking it now and then re足 lieves the owner's feelings tremendously. There were many unexplained dents in Rozinante's mudguards.

B ut on this famous Wednesday, Rozinante behaved perfectly ; and even the traffic officers smiled indulgently as Rozinante ambled on. The l arger cars purr足 ing by, reflecting glints of the August sun from polished steel and enamel, dis足 turbed Rozinante not at all. She cared no whit how many cars passed her now, for she had passed many cars in her day-some that were stuck, some that were standing still, and some that were going the other way. And now and then she had enj oyed t he thrill that comes to the successful passer of another and larger car. A Lizzie owner can pass one of his own kind with but a pitying glance, and his own car never even skips a knock on account of it ; but when he and his car pass some expensive automobile that is apparently doing its best to prevent that passing-well, if you've ever done it, you know what I mean. Rozinante had once passed a H ardpack Twelve. Laurels sat well on her brow. Can you blame her for making the most of them?

A strange hissing sort of sound began to come from R ozinante's Pilot H ouse.

Do not be alarmed, Mr. Reader. It was Pete. Peter was happy ; he was free ; he was out for adventure ; and, consequently, he was indulging in the popular m asculine method of waving a flag of j oy-Peter was whistling. And the traffic officers smiled the m ore indulgently as they waved Rozinante by. H appiness is " catchin g . " H ighway numbers began to flash b y , a n d soon Peter found himself o u t where the wild and woolly countryside begins. Rozinante rattled cheerfully along, with only an occasional sputter and knock, and Peter whistled as cheerfully, with only an occasional intermission when some car that he had tried valiantly to pass drew away and kept the road ahead empty of the glory of conquest. O nce Peter fairly had the taste of triumph in his mouth when he rapidly overtook another car, and was about to pass it with a derisive grin when-the driver held out his hand, and the car turned down a road to the left. In another second, Rozinante would have passed the car. Defeat is bitter, but it cannot match a near-triumph for sheer bitterness.

But even a dissapointment l ike that could not long keep down the spirits of Peter-his whistle reassumed its possition on the outside of his lips, and the music recommenced. And Rozinante sang as cheerfully-had she not once passed a H ardpack twelve?

Nightfall found a goodly assortment of miles between Don Pedro and home, and Peter got out of his halted steed and opened u p the back. A beautifully packed pup-tent revealed itself, accompanied by a full set of stakes and ropes.

Peter had slept in that tent before-you j ust bet he had ! The day he got it, he tied it to the bed in his room, and, with the aid of several chairs, made a respectable staking out, spread his peachy little feather mattress on the floor, and slept like a top all night. Well , yes, he did do a little spinning, but what top doesn't? And he felt refreshed in the morning, anyway.

So Peter erected his castle, and made preparation for supper. He had a little alcohol sto.ve, and several cans of various edibles. In the restaurant, cans were always opened and the contents poured out ; but Peter suddenly thought of a wonderful way to save the washing of dishes-and he didn't open the can, but put it directly u pon the stove. Peter apparently had never heard of the pre足 caution of punching a hole or two in the top ; at least, he didn't observe it. A few

Page two hundred one

moments later the can buckled ominou ly, and Peter emerged from Rozinante' hood to inve tigate the cau e of th funny noi e . A deluge of beans greeted him, and hi pup t nt a sum d a mott led app arance.

But Pet r remained cheerful, and , being a city man, attributed the explosion to omething included by accident in th can, and thanked hi lucky tars he hadn't eaten a pound or two of dynamite. He made hi upper on a somewhat squa hed loaf of bread that had been included in hi commis ary.

He finally covered Rozinante arefully with a bit of tarpaulin, and crawled into hi donj on keep, or whatever you wi h to call it. H auling the blanket up around hi ear , he ompo ed him elf to the bump and hollows that presented th m I ve ev n through hi leeping quipment . The bump had an irritating habit of growing larger by degree , until it eemed a though a small range of mountain mu t be growing under him . But a camper mu t expect di comforts.

Peter wa not di appoint d in hi expectations.

'S- - -s- - - -s-s- -s- -JA B ! " Blanket may k e p out the cold , but the blanket h a n ' t yet been discovered that will ke p out a large and healthy mo quito. A little lemon j uice, or, preferably, oil of it ronella will do it, but Peter didn't know that. And so he commenced a few etting up ex rci e ndeavoring to reach the various mo quito bites.

H i etting-u p exerci e uddenly cea ed. o did his breath . He at up in good earne t. Every individual hai r did likewi e . A low, indistinguishable murmer filled the air. Th n it gr w to the proportions of a fire-whi tle, and died ; to be repeated ome fifteen tim . Peter had never before heard a bull give hi challenge to the world at large ¡ but he wa hearing it now. And it did not sound reassuring. P ter wa a city dwell r, and did not know that a bull is harmless­ j ust o long a he i held in place by tout bar on either ide of hi neck. This one happened to be so h Id but Peter didn't know t hat, and thought he was loose -and wild-and hungry-and maybe an escaped lion from a circus-and maybe a tiger-or mayb a lynx�or a pack- of wolve -or -Peter dived under the bedclothe and made himself as mall a 1po sible.

A rustling sounded through the . grass. Then a sudden swish announced that Peter had attained some goal-he had entirely backed out from under the tent. A flurry of de perate limb , and Peter had gained the shelter of Rozinante's . eat. No more sleeping on the ground for him, by Gemini ! And Pete composed him elf as best h could, and out of sheer contrarine s dropped asleep.

Ezekiel , the bovine beast who had before disturbed Peter's slumbers, was restless. And one bar happened to weaken under the impulse of his thrusting shoulder . He withdrew his head from the opening, and stepped out of his place.

This promised to be good. He wandered around among the ladies of his harem for a moment, and then stepped .out into the barn. A few grain bags happened to be lying there. What bu iness .. had grain bags to be lying around , anyway?

Ezekiel tossed a bag, and thoroughly enjoyed the process. He tried another, then ate some of the delicious grain that lay on the floor as it had spilled from the rent bags. The moon was high, and the country lay bathed in silvery light. Ezekiel forced his way through the partially opened door.

He glanced around . An excited barking from a di tant field announced that the supposed guardian of the farm was busy hunting woodchucks and woods rats.

Ezekiel emitted a "whoof" of relief, and knocked a nocturnal blood-seeking fl y into kingdom come. The very flirt.. of h i s tail had i n it the breath o f freedom.

Ezekiel started down the lane. . A whip-poor-will voiced his eternal question off toward the swam p ; the leaves _ ,

Page two. hundred two

ru tled i nvitingly ; t he happy night-hawks pursued mosquitoes with malignant skil l . A wandering cat suddenly leapt behind a nearby tree at the approach of the huge black bulk of E zekiel. A startled field-mouse scurried out of the way, l eaving a delicious spider to be trodden upon by the heavy hooves. An owl pau ed from his swoop u pon the mouse, and flew back to his vantage point . None of the night creatures were minded to stop E zekiel in his new-found freedom .

Ezekiel tried a bit o f dessicated roadside grass. D usty, b u t delicious! H e tried a leaf from an overhanging branch. Delicious! He tried the branch itself.

The bitter-sweet of the bark created a longing for more-a lot more. E zekiel consumed the t wigs and all of t he branch he could get. Then he moved on. A m all, cat-like animal trotted unconcernedly ahead of Ezekiel. A ton or t wo of beef may not be an easy thing to conquer, but the skunk wa n ' t worrying par­ ticularly about an attack. He had always put to flight easily such animals as had tried to mole t him. But Ezekiel was not seeking to molest anything j ust then.

He was too happy.

E zekiel raised his head and stared at t he moon for a moment. H e wondered what bull among his progenitors could have tossed the orb so high. He hoped it would come down soon, so t hat he could have t he pleasure of tossing it again. H e stretched o u t h i s throat a n d bellowed in ecstasy. The e n d o f t h e lane was near ; and a pa sing autoist heard the bellow, and departed away from there promptly .

But Peter, w h o wa£ encamped a hundred yards or s o down t h e road, slept peace­ fully on.

Ezekiel came out of the lane. A white something caught his eye. It peered out from under the edge of a brown something, and was in fact one of Peter's beet -ye , he had 'em, even if he did think he was " roughing i t"-and Ezekiel began to cogitate. Were white things good to eat ? N o ; not generally. But he wa n ' t very hungry, and, besides, that particular white thing might possibly be good eating. H e ' d inve tigate. And so he lumbered over.

The brown thing yielded delightfully to a prodding horn. H e prodded harder.

The horn ripped through, and t he other followed. Then Ezekiel endeavoured to pull his horn out. But the tent, loosened by Peter's hurried exit some time before imply followed the tossing horns into the air. This was distinctly annoying.

It i no fun for any elf-respecting bull to be blindfolded in that manner. Ezekiel pawed t he canvas, but only succeeded i n wrapping up his nose . E zekiel backed, and t he corner of a mudguard thrust itself into his flank. Ezekiel became annoyed.

There is no more undesirable playfellow than an annoyed bull.

Ezekiel rushed ahead, and was turned by a rim of trees. He commenced a lum bering circle t hat had as a center the car in which our hero so peacefully slept .

Finally E zekiel lumbered up against the car. Crash! A rattle of tin and of breaking gla announced his arrival . Ezekiel backed a pace, then lowered his head and charged the place where he had felt the annoying scratch of tin.

The car and Ezekiel met. Fortunately, Peter had parked the car with its nose towards t he road . Rozinante's brakes were not constructed to hold charges of dynamite nor of angry bulls, so R ozinante moved . The first crash had partially brought Peter to ; the second completed the job. Peter looked out of hi back window. He aw a t hree-quarter order of animated cyclone with a tent over its nose doing a futuristi c dance in imitation of an airplane propellor, and at the ame time pushing his car off the road .

Peter looked ahead . The ditch on the opposite side was deep, so Peter seized the steering wheel and swung the car around . Ezekiel changed his course,

Page two h u ndred three

and kept right on pushing. Peter let down the emergency brake, forgetting to keep his foot on the pedal . The car went into gear. Ezekiel kept right on pushing. Peter was suddenly struck by a brilliant idea. He turned the ignition switch .

P o o f-swish-swish-Ch-ch-ch-Bang!

Ch-ch-ch- ch-Bang!

B ang!

Pu-pu-pu-ch-ch-ch-Bang! Bang-Pr-r-r-r-r-r-r!-and the car was running under its own power. Ezekiel was left hopelessly in the ruck.

Some people are courageous ; others are j ust plain dumb lucky. Peter went back. He didn' t want to lo e his tent . He left his car at the side of the road, and started to walk back. When he got there, Ezekiel had shed the tent, and, being wearied of his labors, had lain down in the road to sleep. Peter picked up his tent.

What followed is a matter of history in Penejepscot county. Peter saw .a cow taking her ease in the middle of the road, and Peter knew that cows were reputed to be harrnle . . He did not realize that this was a gentleman cow.

Peter kicked the tired creature. Ezekiel wanted to sleep, and he sighed . Peter kicked him again. Ezekiel groaned . Peter broke out a switch from the nearby alders. He slashed Ezekiel with the switch. Ezekiel lumbered to his knees, got his hind feet under him, and finally clambered up onto all four feet. Peter hit him again.

As has been said before, Ezekiel was tired and leepy, and did not want to be disturbed. But this infinitesimal creature was disturbing him. He swung his head around and looked at Peter. Peter hit him again . Ezekiel sighed, and broke into a trot, hoping to leave behind this pestiferous creature. Peter gal­ umphed along behind, slashing Ezekiel whenever he got near enough. Ezekiel ran up the home lane, and Peter after him .

Ezekiel's owner was coming down the lane, pitchfork i n one hand, and a snap-pole in the other. He saw Ezekiel coming, and gripped the fork more firmly. Then he saw something that made him pause in astonishment.

A man, wild, apparently, was chasing Ezekiel up the lane. The man had on paj amas, and was waving a tent on one arm, and lashing the bull with a switch which he held in the other hand . For the nonce, the farmer thought he was gazing upon the ghost of some long-departed toreador. Peter hit Ezekiel again, and Ezekiel, seeing the farmer, who at least seemed friendly, turned toward him .

The farmer skillfully dodged, then snapped the pole onto the ring in Ezekiel's nose. Then he turned to Peter. " For the love of Mike, Man! Don't you know any better than to take a chance like that with a bull? Supposen he'd gored you! " "Bull???" echoed Peter faintly. He had heard about bulls and their terrible practises, and so Peter, after his apparent heroism, fainted.

Time inevitably brings all things to an end . And so Peter was forced to go back to his dishrag, being able to get back his old job in Bill's Cash Lunch. And there it was that another animal brought about Peter's fate. The cashier was pretty, and interesting, and all that ; but she was mortall y afraid of mice. The day after Peter got back, in a slack period of business, she uttered a shrill scream .

Peter looked out, and saw her up in a chair, while a ferocious little mouse scuttled around the room.

Peter seized a broom and pursued him . At last he cornered him, and with one fell swoop exterminated him. The shock of the blow knocked down a stack of plates, every one of which fell on Peter's neck. The last thing to fall happened to be a potted plant, and Peter died in the cashier's arms.

That's All.

QTqrmisr auh �ihuigqt B y William M acomber To see a sweet young thing attired in only a pink envelope-chemise and black silk stockings ! Who wouldn't receive a thrill from such a sight? But who wouldn't receive a double thrill , start, and utter a gasp of surprise to see uch a personage thrown out of a taxi-cab in the night ? And right in the main street of the town.

The office dog says the person, male or female, minister or prime-minister, book-keeper or salesman, does not exist who wouldn't feel a tinge run u p and down his spine as a result of the above exhibition. The office cat agrees. The l ong-nosed censor rubs his chin, arches his eyebrows, and says, " Let 'er go, we want to know what it's all about . " (The male members o f the class are now supposed to show sudden l ife and great interest : The female members should be blushing with becoming embar­ rassment and at the same time show as great, if not as evident, interest as the males . ) It was near midnight on a recent evening. (The exact time makes little difference. ) H o wever, there was a bright moon and an unusual bit of crispness in t he air. T here was nothing in the way of the unusual taking place i n the town and very few night- awks prowled the streets.

The lights of an automobile suddenly flashed. Nearer and nearer they came until finally upon reaching the public square t hey rested on the side of the c urb and the car came to a halt. The curtains within were all tightly drawn.

A couple, or possibly three minutes, elapsed, and then the door to t he tonneau of the machine opened and a well-dressed gentleman ( ?) stepped out . (From all outward appearances he might have been a college boy.)

A block down t he street a policeman sauntered back and forth as if he owned the town and all its contents. The young man, who had alighted but a moment before from t he car, watched t he " copper" like a fox, lighting a cigarette rather nervously in the meantime.

A few more minutes passed and then the sturdy representative of Law and Order retreated into a side street. The young man gave his cigarette a quick toss, chanced another last minute look, and then darted into the car.

Scuffling and a muffied cry broke the solitude. In the moment a figure came " head over bandbox , " flying and toppling, screaming and yelling, out to the ground. H ardly had it struck before the door of the car slammed and the machine whisked away into the night.

An apparently dazed little person sat up on the side-walk, gazing about as though regaining senses. Then suddenly the situation seemed to dawn and this l ittle person j um ped u p with a horrified cry, realizing the circumstances.

To one standing on t he opposite curb a dark, well formed figure was pre­ sented . And the form certainly could be distinguished for it was clad only in a fluttering, silk, envelope-chemise ! No gown! N ot a stitch or sign of one !

Two shapely legs, handsomely displayed in pure silk hosiery, shivered in the chilly air, causing a pair of dainty French heels to beat a tattoo on the pavement , as the petite owner, silhouetted against a granite covered building, looked up and down the street.

Page two- h undred. five

It is afe to say that a pair of rosy cheeks took on a decided glow as the little mystery person in the transparent "undies" saw the wide-eyed " copper " ap­ proaching from around the corner of the building.

The legs were shapely, as previously, and the silk stockings leading down into the French heeled shoes, added the necessary touch for beauty in all its glory.

But in spite of all these worthy qualitie the appealing little limb eemed frozen to the pavement as Mr. Officer approached toward them. " What ther H-, " he began, then tilting up the perfectly cut chin of the would-be-miscreant, looked into the face a brief in tant then in half-disappoint­ ment and half-surprise concluded : " What in blazes will they make ye poor devils do next in these frat initiations?

Skip 'long home now, sonny, 'fore I lose my good dispo ition an' pull you in. " ...

wwiltgqt From my casement I can see The day conclude-Sings a lark with burning throat The night's prelude.

While the trees reach for the ky To whisper low The litany of the mute earth Down below.

lf mprr1rninnn Do you like to be alone-all , all alone-out in the dusk-in a snow-storm?

A world of gray and white-a breathless stillne s-a mystic silence-doesn 't it thrill you ? Don't you hate to step-don' t you almost hate to breathe and break that silence? It is as if a spell had been cast over the world-so peaceful, so rest­ ful is t he atmosphere. No wind stirs the branches of the trees. The naked limbs of the elms and maples are now clothed with t he softe t down. T he ever­ green , crowned with whiteness, bow in reverence to t he storm. Steadily, noi e­ lessly, evenly, t he damp flakes fall. I t would seem t hat all sorrow , all pain, all hard hip might vanish into oblivion, and the maj esty and power of the Storm fill t he oul in their stead. ***

" Fun.! say, Bob, you'd have died laughing. H o w did I see i t ? O h ! I wa he�d linesman and, so help me, I never expect to ee t he like again. �here was a whale of a crowd and the day couldn ' t have been better.

Seemed made to order.

The ' Varsity took the field first and-hey? Oh sure Roundy let em play .

G uess he didn't care what happened to 'em after the State S ries. Yes, the,y came out first and got a big hand.

Finally the Gym door opened and out came the Faculty led by Coach Rober�s dressed in a sweat shirt and knickers. I don ' t believe anyone would have recognized him but for t he characteristi c angle of his cap. Trainer Ryan brought up the rear urging the boys to do their best for t he sake of their dear o ld mothe�s who were praying for them at home. His parting admonition was, ' For her sake Bert don't show your yellow streak . ' .

And say Bob, believe me Jerry sure used his old bean .for once w)1en he pic�e.d that team. You see he had Weeks on right end a�d Strong on the. left.

For· tackles he had Captain Curt Morrow and Jeff Weber. The gu?-rd ppsition;s were filled by Frankie Hubbard and Tubby Ashcraft. These men were especially well fitted as they have both had experience along t his line. Jerry picked J unior Auffinger as center because he was quick at figures. W . ;H am Stanley real ly. had t he call on this job ut he wouldn't play when Billy Wilkinson, the quarterbac � refused to say ' point zero zero naught naught naught, ' before every signal. B i ll aid he wouldn't say naughty words for any man. Bert Libby t ried out for ' qua�·ter but as he couldn't call the signals without his notes he had to be used a.t right haU where his shifty dodging matched up well witP. the clever footwork of Ukelele Helie the left half. Plunging J oe Colgan, former Universit e de " Lyon sensation, nosed out Fly Catcher H arry B artlett at fullback.

They had a trick set of signals, too. B i lly thought 'em up and he explained 'em to me like this, ' You see we wanted to fool them so we lined up with the weak side on Strong's side and the strong side on \ eeks' side. Each backfield man had some appropriate date for his special number. H elie's was the French R evolu­ tion ( 1 789) Colgan's w as the \� orld War ( 1 9 1 8) , and Libby's was t he B lack Death ( 1 347) . So w hen I called for-weak side 1 347-it meant for Libby to run around Strong's end . ' Wel l . a s I said, t h e teams lined up like this : ' \ arsity Position Faculty Smith ... ............................. .. . ................... L . E . ... Strong Keith . ........................ ............................. . .......... L . T . .. Vi eber . ............................... ..... L . G .... . ................. Ashcraft Cowing . .......... C. ............. ............... .................... Auffinger O ' Donnell ... . .. ...... R . G . ....................

Just as M athers was about to kick, Curt ran up to the ball and examined it closely to see if it bore the stamp of the Economics Department. As it did not the game was held up until a new ball was found which the 'Varsity could not possibly have practiced with. This was then properly stamped and the game allowed to begin.

On the kick-off the ball was descending straight into the open arms of Helie when Shifty Bert suddenly, and with snake like grace, dashed forward and, nimbly tripping Helie, grabbed the pigskin and started on a wide run around the ' Varsity right end. No sooner had he started than he found himself confronted by the horns of a dilemma. While still figuring upon a means of escape both horns hit him and, as the saying goes, another pigskin bit the dust.

Faculty then tried a play which no one seemed to be able to make head or tail of. It was over the weak end with Strong back. For two more plays Faculty fought fearfully but it was of no avail and when at last they were forced to punt J oe Colgan executed a 'Harold Lloyd' and Heal got the ball on the twenty-two yard line. ' Varsity then tried nobly to penetrate the Faculty defense. On the second play Keith hit Capt. Morrow in the stomach and so firmly imbedded his head therein that time had to be called to extract it. While it was in there somebody called Keith a fathead but as he couldn't hear it nothing serious resulted. Mor­ row was penalized five yards for holding and, true to form when the j oke is on him, objected and insisted upon getting the 'version' of each of the officia ls.

Well-he got it-along with the five yards.

'Varsity made first down and had j ust seven yards to go for a touchdown.

Now was the time for strategy. Keith called time and explained a trick play to the boys. Eagerly they lined up and as they seemed about to charge Erickson pointed toward Coburn H all and yelled, 'Say, who broke all those windows?'

I n quick rage Frankie H ubbard turned to view this mutilated college property.

In an instant ' Varsity had charged and through H ubbard's position had placed the ball three yards nearer the goal.

No one was more loud and heated in their blame of poor Frankie than team­ mate Tubby. He actually spoke twice in the same minute.

The next play was directed at Junior but for no gain. That was not surpris­ ing, however, as it's generally conceded that Auffinger knows his business.

Mathers had dropped back for a kick on the next play when Johnson shouted , 'Hey, who's letting that bunch of kids through the fence? ' Too late Ashcraft preceived his mistake and Drummond carried the ball over amid the roaring of the multitudes.

Thought Tubby, ' H abit is a dangerous thing. ' Thought Hubbard, ' Revenge is sweet. ' Well, the game see-sawed back and forth with neither side gammg much advantage after ' Varsity had scored the first seventy touchdowns. H o wever, a merry battle was taking place between Gold B rick Fotter and Gold Key Weber.

This time the B rick was found to be solid while the Key was only filled. H ey?

Why with bull of course. I n fact the Key was so very much tarnished around both eyes at the end of the game that it was hard to tell whether it had been j ust a common ' pass' Key or a tooted Gold Key. They say the former is more useful in getting into places.

By the third quarter Weber was more fit than ever to be tied. D uring a time out he turned upon Smith (whom he regards as more or less of a heathen for not

Page two hundred sixteen

having taken his ' Lit' courses) and gave him an awful ride. Wheeling about Smith ran up to him and, much to the surprise of all who had heard him get this ride, exclaimed, ' Thank you, thank you, professor. In all the four years that I ' ve lived near you and that you have driven by me on the way to college in your Liz this is the first ride you' ve ever given me. ' Weber, who had expected an answer­ ing tirade, was terribly mortified and angry for, you know, it's always the truth that. hurts.

Ukelele H elie, being naturally high strung, had by this time worked himself up to such a high pitch that he was out of tune, so to speak, with the rest of the team. He became terribly excited and between quarters demanded in a shrill voice to know if M orrow was the only one on the team to have his likeness cheered by the fans. U pon being questioned as to what on earth he could mean he pointed to the dozing white mule. This quite naturally precipitated the rising dissention among his teammates and during the storm that followed someone was heard to suggest that if they could have found a frog H elie would have been cheered also.

The team was hopelessly split into two opposing factions with Shifty Bert de­ fending Helie. When he attempted to argue the latter's case, however, he was met by M orrow's undeniable assertion that he, Libby, missed his only chance for greatness when he failed to appear in the Scopes Trial in Tennessee as The M issing Link.

At this point Psychological J oe stepped in and suggested a settlement. Said he, ' B oys I have i t Our only chance is a forward pass. Now Weeks will step back of the line of scrimmage and Bert will throw a pass to Morrow. ' ' Why not to-day? ' Strong wanted to know but somebody saved Colgan the trouble of ex­ plaining by hitting Strong strongly on his weak end. Bert said he'd rather pass over the weak end but as he had already promised to pass the week end preaching he would consent. Of course Weeks was sore at not being chosen to catch the pass so he remarked that he could never see the sense of preaching if you never practiced it afterwards. B eing in that state of mind though, naturally he wouldn't say half as bad as he meant.

It was finally decided, however, and Bert grabbed the pill and threw i t straight a n d true to M orrow. T h e latter caught it a n d began to run. Wilkin­ son saw that he wasn't making very good time (Morrow not being built on stream­ lines) so he rushed up and unceremoniously knocked Capt. Curt over and pro­ ceeded to roll him toward the goal . This maneuver gave Curt time to examine the ball in search of the familiar stamp. When, after careful i nspection, he was unable to find it he gave a huge cry of rage and with all his might and main he threw it from him. The ball hit the long suffering D ean on the head and exploded as one of her few remaining hairpins pierced it.

The noise of the exploding ball was drowned by her lusty, ear-splitting and terrifying shriek. This the 'Varsity mistook for the final whistle and piled into the Gym to escape the wrath of their opponents. Behind them trailed the de­ j ected and demoralized Faculty feeling very rotten indeed. With them walked their beloved Coach Jerry ever reminding them of his oft repeated maxim : FEELING TENDS TO CONFOR M TO CON D UCT"

(A colu m n for olem n reflection)

A pri ze of one flunk i offered for the be t an wer to the following : 1 . What grammar grade doe " Donkey" Morrow think he i teaching?

2. H ow many tim ha Auffinger yawned in cla s? (No answers lower than 50 will be aacepted . ) 3 . Do P . Edmund and C. Hale know where t heir faces leave o ff and t hei r head begin wit hout putting bn t heir hat ?

4. Did anyon ev r talk to Weber when he didn t go out of hi way to be ugly?

5. Ha anyone een the hoe-horn with which Red prague puts on hi hat?

6 . How doe G . L. Earle put on hi hoe ?

7. H ow many time will " Doc" Edward have promised u a new gym by J une 3, 1 927?

8 . How much doe Weber get paid for adverti ing 7-20-4 cigars on hi car?

9 . What ha Flo i Dunn to get a N wman?

1 0 . Did any fellow ever get enough to eat at Foss H all? If o when? ( hoose any 12 of t he above) ·

" D utchie" i t he exception to the proverb that if a man is to have "friendts" he mu t prove him elf "friendtly. " Says Prof. Auffinger : "There are absolutely no exceptions �Q �his ruleexcept t he e t wo . " '

l

Mi s Van Norman said that i f Weeks were as Strong a s a Carter t h e White t hing for him to do would be to V'i heeler down by t he H aynes to a Taylor to Morrow. H owever, he knew that if thi were Dunn she would Getc-hell from the D ean.

I f that's what a Rhodes Scholar hip does for you thank God there are so few of them .

Shhhhhh, whisper it-does " Eccy" look that way on purpose or can't he help it?

If Rus B rown and Prof. Morrow could trike a happy medium on legs it would be mutually advantageous. Now Brown. looks like this () · and Morrow like this ) (. However, even t heir best friends won't tell them.

Eight bells-midnight-the lonesome watch begins.

Above, a starry sky ; below, the waves Roll on in silent lines, and all about A stillness deep ¡ t'is broken by the watch Alone, who answers but the clanging bell With clanging bell, and old familiar call, " Lights are burning bright, sir." And echoes back The mate upon the bridge, " Lights-s-s-s are bright. " o onward drag the hour , as onward slides The shi p ; with naught to do save pace the deck, And watch the silent darkness for the lights Of passing ships ; answer the clanging bell With clanging bell, and old familiar call, " Lights are burning bright, sir." Until t he sun In silence drives the silent night away ; T 'is then the lookout leaves the bow ; the watch Is o'er ; till once again t 'is-midnight-and eight bells.
