I N MEMORIAM

iV11en the students of the Centenary Colle g iate Institute went home for their Christmas vacation in last December, t h e y knew not t h a t for t h e last time they had looked upon the face of their beloved President and when t h e word flashed through the wires and was printed upon t h e newspaper page t h a t Dr. Meeker had died on New Year's morning 1917, t h e surprise t h a t fell upon all who knew him was as sudden as t h e sorrow was great, for none of t h e student body knew t h a t he had been ill. On their return a shadow seemed t o hang over t h e familiar halls. Every one missed t h a t benignant face, t h a t kindly voice, t h a t noble presence never t o be seen again on earth, b u t never t o be forgotten while life endures. Jonathan Magie Meeker was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, September 20, 1850, and a t the time of his death was sixty-six years old. H e was prepared for college a t ;he Claverack Institute and entered Wesleyan University, b u t was compelled t o leave college without graduation. Subsequently, however, t h e University conferred upon him t h e degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Divinity. H e studied in Drew Theological Seminary, was graduated in 1880 and afterward by a thorough course in NewYork University won the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. For three years he was State Superintendent of t h e Young Men's Christian Association, but a t t h e inner call of d u t y in 1879 entered t h e ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church and served as pastor in several churches in New Jersey and one in Cincinnati, Ohio. While in charge of the Park Avenue Church in E a s t Orange, he was appointed Presiding Elder of the Newark District. His energy, ability, and resourcefulness upon t h e District caused him t o be chosen as President of t h e Centenary Collegiate Institute in 1908. T o t h e Institute he gave nine years of unremitting and self-sacrificing service. While in the midst of a campaign in t h e interest of the school and absent from his home he was suddenly stricken with pneumonia and died after only five days of illness. Every student in the:bchool and hundreds elsewhere who have been in former years under his care, mourn t h e departure of one who was a teacher, a friend and almost a father. JESSE

GREETINGS TO OUR NEW PRESIDENT Although the Senior Class has had but slight opportunity of knowing Dr. Trevorrow, the new President of Centenary Collegiate Institute, in the few weeks he has been here, never the less he has already earned the respect and admiration of all. Therefore, on behalf of the members of the graduating class, the 1917 Hack Board extends to Dr. Trevorrow a most cordial welcome, and the assurance that their attitude will be one of fidelity to their Alma Mater throughout the coming years.

HISTORY

T H E CLASS

Even as everything must come to a close, just so it is that all things have a beginning. Four long years ago when we, the class of 1917,first found ourselves inmates of this institution, graduation day seemed infinitely far off-almost a dream-as it were. But the time has passed quickly and we now find ourselves a t the very threshold of a new life, waiting only for the doors to open and let us through into the great outside world. To trace our history year by year, step by step, let us go back to the time when we were Freshmen-just young, timid Freshmen. Having been thoroughly initiatel into the masterful aroma of scholastic life, we organized our class with Miriam Shoop as our president. We chose for our colors green and white and for our flower, the lilyof-the-valley. As future destiny depends largely on the seed one first scatters, one long look into the future incited us to quick action and showed us the mark for which we must strive. Accordingly, in the spring of that year we gained reward for our long and patient winter's labors by winning the Indoor Meet Cup. This feat greatly surprised our elder sisters and they bore a spirit of humiliati'on for some time afterward. Thus having established a good foundation on which to base the work of our coming years, we returned as worthy Sophomores with a larger enrollment than before, eager to reflect in ourselves, as in a mirror the likeness of that noble flower-the lily-of-the-valley. Naturally we felt rather superior to those green insignificant Freshmen whose good fortune i t was to enter these portals that year, and we proved our ability along social lines by entertaining the school, with the help of the special class, with a new and original "Caf6 Chantant." This was pronounced a wonderful success and it was the undisputed opinion of all who attended that it was the best event that had been given in the school for some time. We also entertained our sister class, those noble Seniors, by taking them on a strawride on a beautifill night in May. On our way home we stopped a t a quiet little/grove on the farm and added the finishing tpuch to our evening's entertainment-a marsh-mallow roast. Retiring from social activities for the remainder of the year, we decided to turn our attentions again to athletics. So once more we ,welcomed into our folds that silver trophy of the Indoor Meet, accompanied, however, by the honorable addition of the individual cup,

1$ which our worthy president, Ann Smith, distinguished herself by .-7

, - , : winning. ,. It was then time for vacation and after a whole three months of 39' .t : recreation, we returned with a larger enrollment than ever before , #, ... to set out on the third year of our course. We chose " Peg" Press , as our president, and under her leadership we sped swiftly and successi fully on through the year. :. 8%.;k-*,,, Our weeks of patient practise a t basketball and soccer were re' warded a t the close of the season with both the silver cups offered for ' ,'?''7~:; the class championships. "14." 'i Next in the order of events came the Hallowe'en party, which was .',q , , --&.I ._':. 'I- un er the auspices of our class. This was in the form of a masquerade !, -:. -.I ' at which everyone had an equal share in the midnight revelry with -', -. ~7the ghosts and witches of the hour. L' Let us pass over the next few weeks only to stop once more to ', ' - 2 ; L: L,':, view the class of 1917 on the "gym" floor, gracefully dancing and , ,L-- -d , , I , ~ marching in perfect time-singing as they go, "It's a Hard Thing to Beat the Juniors!" and still a few hours later we see them regarded '., ,' #. by the entire school as victors of the day-"The only class that can't be beaten!" _r'.L,: \ ,,", : I,<~:, Again we entered into the social whirl and gave the Seniors a - 51; farewell entertainment. This constituted a whole week-end given ;r.:' Ir.., ' over to their pleasure, that same pleasure being chiefly the privilege i:; of having gentleman guests. There was a garden party in the after--"-'.' . ' J . ~noon, a banquet and reception in the evening and then the whole day ,-,, ' , : . Sunday for walks and such entertainment as the individual girls - might afford. But as the day came to a close it was with a feeling -pi', ;.:#q of deep regret that we saw the 6.02 come puffing in to bear away our :J$>- guests, and thereby t o enroll that memorable Junior week-end on the k' annals of history. Then, as Commencement rolled around with all its joys and sorrows, we met one evening under the windows of old ~ o i t hDorm to sing a last farewell to the class of 1916. As we stood there under the stars and the moon, all spirit of rivalry and strife which may have existed b e t w e n the classes during our years together was wafted away on the cool night breezes, and instead there came into existence a spirit of sweet harmony which we all will cherish in the years to come. Stronger both in spirit and numbers, we returned in the fall of that year to set out, with Beatrice Hawley as our President, on Ir

the last long stretch toward our goal. From the first day we proudly took possession of Senior Hall, we have made that beloved place ring with our merriment and good times. All through the beautiful fall months we turned our attention to the outdoor sports-hockey, soccer, and basketball. Eagerly we strove to uphold the foregoing record of the class and with the finals for the class championships came more honor and glory for old 1917. One by one the final whistle sounded victory for our teams and once again through our matchless ability on the athletic field, we obtained a grand monopoly of all the silver cups. Even in the hockey game, which was a single contest between the Seniors and the Undergraduates the green and white floated alone a t full-mast. A little later, though our hearts were still burning with American patriotism, we thought it would be fun to experience the ways of the Chinese just for an evening, so we celebrated after the fashion of those people, the conubial purchase of Sen-Sen-really Lillian Martin, by the esteemed Chew Long, another of our number better known as "Judy" Nash. The ceremony took place in Whitney Hall, where the remainder of the school viewed with great pleasure the jovial proceedings of the long-queued and incense-loving Chinese family. Still again, "All hail the girls of 1917 victors in the Indoor Meet!" As well as winning the class cup, two of our number were also rewarded as having the highest records in individual work -Ann Smith and Clara Gifford. It is with the greatest pride that we look back to view our four successive victories in this work-a record unprecedented in the history of the school. Now all these things have passed into history. Our four years together have been spent in greatest happiness and success. Our spirit has been one of sweetest harmony and devotion to each other and every victory, every defeat has served only to seal more firmly ' the bonds of friendship which link us together, and to strengthen the spirit of faith and fidelity which has ever featured our school-lives. Year by year have we grown and developed. Our flower to-day stands supreme in all its loveliness and beauty. It has flourished and bloomed for four long years and now, with us, it stands ready, waiting only for the word to be spoken when its petals shall fall and be cast to the four winds. But no matter which way we may be blown on life's great field, or how far destiny will carry us, we will ever be true and loyal to our Alma Mater. M ARGUERITE R I CHMO N D ELY.

CLASS POEM 1917 This day in June we are standing At a wide-open door, through which gleams, The sunlit path of our future life, That leads to the land of our Dreams. We bear with us many gifts As each goes her winding way; There's hope for to-morrow, with joy and love, And memories of yesterday. There are memories of comrades and friends, Those memories linger long, As we wend our way with joyful hearts, That are happy and light with song. No matter what we may find, No matter what prize we glean, Our hearts will ever gladly turn T o the Class of 'Seventeen.

RUTH O'HANLON.

PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF 1917 I sat in Vergil class listlessly, wearily.

On all four sides slippery blackboards rose up and bound me in, like prison walls from which no convict dared hope to escape. M y roving eye plunged into the jungle of Latin words in search of at least one familiar one, and, finding none, fixed upon Peg Press who, having been called upon to recite, was engaged in colossal struggles. "Cassandra, prophetess of Troy, Daughter of Priam," she slowly and laboriously read. Common enough words, but the effect they produced upon my drowsy form was as miraculous as it was sudden. T o be explicit I arose to my feet and emitted a series of squawks sufficient to cause my prompt dismissal from the room. For the greatest discovery of the age was a t hand. Something that had lain dormant in my soul for centuries was awakened, and I knew, knew suddenly and instinctively, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that, in a recent incarnation, I, "Casey" Ingham, had been Cassandra, the prophetess of Troy. T o doubting unbelievers I offer proof; observe my n?me. "Casey" is the modern equivalent of Cassandra-the "Sand" has been lost since the olden days. Ingham is derived from Priam directly: the PR was broken off in the fall of Troy, the NG was added by the Trojans to show their opinion of my talents, and HAM is the English pronunciation of the letters AM. Hence it may readily be seen that Cassandra, of the house of Priam, has developed into Casey, of the house of Ingham. Not long after I had made this momentous discovery, I began to exercise my newly-found powers of prophecy upon the members of my class. And this is what I saw: I looked first a t the fortunes of Bee Hawley, our little President. Five years in the future, I saw a great ocean liner taking her abroad on her honeymoon. I am sure she was very happy, for when I discovered her, she was sitting on "Deck." In the midst of the bustling city of Newark, I saw Marian Hobbs, the gble assistant of a prominent undertaker. Her line of jokes and her old-time cackle prove so cheering and inspiring to mourning relatives that her services are considered invaluable. Pat Patterson became so famous for her smile that now, everywhere you walk in any American city, her face, set in its customary

grin, beams down a t you from every billboard-an advertisement for

. -Colgate's tooth-paste.

Hazel Winans, after long experience on Senior Hall, where knowlanything in the line of studies is exceeding scarce, has become a teacher in the Latin department a t Bryn Mawr. It is rumored that he is soon t o marry a crabbed old Professor with spectacles and a ig nose, whose admiration for her talents over-ruled his inborn awe f the sex in general. When the Hawaiian craze died down, the public, ever craving jsomething new, became entranced with Swedish dances, songs, and maid ens. Mabel Howell, whose fame as the world's greatest woman rtist had even spread to the exclusive ears of Mr. Zeigfield, was comissioned to paint the Swedish scenery for the 1920 production of the ollies." And against this magnificent background created by :Mabel, our old class-mate, Marty, dances and sings (!) under the ,&age-name of Martini the Swede, in a manner wholly satisfactory he huge audiences which flock to see this, the greatest of stars, is, the greatest of productions. Shoopie is pretty travel-worn. For eight years after her graduae travelled all over the world in search of a man like that er of hers. We surely hope she will find such a one soon and down to live happily ever afterwards-but we don't know. - ,&cording to Shoopie, there isn't any man living who can come up to o perhaps she is destined to be an old maid. d Happy Volger? What is the use of asking? Of course verything came out just the way everyone always knew it would, lthough she did have a sort of hard time deciding between Middled Middle town. t h Hutchison, once away from the restraining influence of psed into ragtime. It seems sort of sacrilegious, doesn't i t ? e has become a very famous exponent of the art of syncopation, r, and has written several popular ragtime pieces. Her latest is entitled-"A Kitten Makes a Nice Pet, but I Prefer a Bullock." Judy Nash is in vaudeville. And Peg Press utterly weary of things feminine, has permanently donned man's apparel, and dances as Judy's partner. I n addition t o their theatrical work, they give exhibition dances a t all the leading restaurants under the name of Mr. and Mrs. Crush. Eddy Bigelow, after some slight difficulties with enterprising

.rivals, went out t o Minneapolis t o study a peculiar species of "Herb." Like most enthusiasts, she is "wedded to her art." Lillie Cook is a benefit to the nation. Upon leaving school, she undertook the reform of Brancheville, her old home town. In five years, through the earnest and unceasing endeavors of this estimable lady, that wicked metropolis which had long been the despair of all Christian beholders, was rid of all its dance-halls, cabarets, and bars. Now the five houses that make up Brancheville contain families whose domestic happiness is unbroken by the demon saloon, and the name of Lillie, their benefactress, is continually on their lips. I saw Sarah Mackey five years hence, one of the greatest emotional actresses on the American stage. Her ability to put herself into the parts she is called upon to play with such realistic force as to arouse the interest and sympathy of her audiences to the highest point has earned for her the name of the second Divine Sarah. At Smith College I saw Ann Smith, Marguerite Ely, and Jimmy O'Hanlon. Since it was eight years after their graduation from C.C. I., their presence there occasioned me no little surprise. Upon investigation, however, I found that Ely and Jimmy received the Smith diploma four years before,and have been taking Post Graduate courses every year since for the purpose of helping Tone over the rocky road to graduation. They have great expectations of pulling her through this year a t last, after which they intend t o spend the remainder of their lives in a New York apartment, dividing their time equally between cinnamon toast and the opera. Bumps Lesher died. Shakespeare or somebody said-"So wise so young do never live longM-and I guess he was right. Anyway, she makes a mighty cute little angel as she strums away on her little harp. She frequently sends messages down t o her old school-mates through Louise Hall, who has become one of the most noted mediums in New York City. Louise only practises this profession a t night, however, as she is engrossed in washing heads in an Orphans' Home in the day-time. Nat Parker, since she had always possessed the ability to make un&nny noises in her throat, was urged by admiring school-mates not to deprive the world of such Heaven-sent talents, but to take up the study of ventriloquism. This she did, and now she nightly graces the boards of the Palace Theatre in the practise of her art. And nightly there sits in the front row a Yale graduate, watching her per-

formance with a worshipping eye. He has had exactly that same kind of an eye for the last eight years, but Nat still stubbornly maintains that there is enough sunshine in her home without this extra " R.ay." Next I saw a huge limousine bowling down Fifth Avenue, containing an enormously fat woman-Clara Gifford, as I live! And who, I wondered, was that small, mournful-looking individual who cowered in the front seat beside the chauffeur? It was her husband, known a t his clubs-to which Giffie never allowed him to go-as the most henpecked man in America. Tewks, after several more or less successful matrimonial ventures of her own, became Editor of the column entitled, "Advice to the Love-lorn," in the Newark News. Her assistance to sentimental school-girls with enigmatic admirers, based on her own personal experiences, can hardly be exaggerated. I n a far-off land I saw the Appley-woman, jabbering in a strange tongue. She went as a missionary to the Fiji Islands. She was greeted with wonder and amazement by all the savages, and now the poor Appley woman, all unsuspecting, is being fattened up on a diet of beans in preparation for a perfectly wonderful Fiji Island feast. Katy Rumble, after years of patient labor spent in the training of her voice, now leaves home and family semi-weekly to sing to the inmates of a deaf-and-dumb institution, where her talents are much appreciated. 1

I know that I am soon to depart this earthly life, slain in an arduous battle with the Natural Enemy, college entrance exams, and I feel that this will be my last appearance on this terrestial ball. So, on this thirteenth day of June, nineteen seventeen, I inscribe these facts for publication, that the consciousness of the greatness of my prophetic talents may not bloom alone within my own self but that, like the genius of the Cassandra that I once was, it may live on after my decease, t o all eternity.

1917 C L A S S S O N G TUNE- LONG, LONG TRAIL

Days have drifted by us swiftly, Soon we must depart, But our pride and love for C. C. I. Will ever linger in each heart. Oh, what memories come flooding Through our thoughts to-day, As from our Alma Mater's gates we go For we leave her for always.

Chorus It's been four long years of toiling, etc. Working, toiling, ever fighting We have struggled on, I n our lessons and athletics This has been our song. "To be rather than t o seem" Is our motto true, As we step forth on to life's broad way Dear 'seventeen, we cheer for you.

Chorus

It's been four long years of toiling T o reach the goal of our dreams Till we say farewell forever And sail out on life's broad stream. It's been four long years of toiling And striving hard a t work and play, But our eyes are dim, our hearts are sad As we part forever to-day.

T H E SENIOR MOCK WEDDING The Whitnee Temple, on the night of January the twentyseventh, was the scene of a most beautiful wedding, in which Chew Long and Sen-Sen were united in holy matrimony. Through the air, thick with the curling smoke of incense, the grim figure of the most reverend high god was barely distinguishable. At the feet of this towering image, each newcomer worshipped in suffocated silence, before taking his place to await the festivities of the evening. When the guests were all assembled and yelling impatiently for the ceremony to begin, the opening notes of that magnificent Chinese wedding march, "Chop-sticks," resou'nded throughout the temple, hailing the entrance of the priest. He hobbled majestically down the aisle, muttering incantations and scattering rice. Next, the roly-poly form of the bride-groom appeared. It must be admitted that his expression was not a happy one, and he showed such a disinclination to take part in the affair that the priest was forced to propel him down the aisle by main force. The bridegroom was followed by his father, the Honorable Bloo Ming Nut and his humble mother, See Lee Cow. After these came the intimate friends of the family who, after performing fantastic contortions before the nervously-fidgetting bridegroom, retired to the right of the priest. Then a mighty shout was heard and all strained forward eagerly, to observe the other half of the bridal party in its progress to the altar. A jinrickisha bore the bride, heavily veiled, followed by her parents and friends, all of whom were viewed with unutterable scorn and loathing by the groom's family. When the procession reached the altar, the bride was assisted from her jinrickisha, and stood, the target of all eyes, heavily veiled in streaming mosquito netting. After she had paid her homage to the idol and the assembled company, the bridegroom was reluctantly shoved forward, and back to back, they stood before the priest. Two flaming streamers of ribbon were tied to form the nuptial knot. Then the newly-weds faced each other, while the bride's attendant lifted her veil with a long wand, p~rmittingthe groom for the first time to gaze upon the features of his wife. Stunned by her cabbage eilrs, marvelling at her wondrous warts and overcome by the disclosure of her teethless gums, he fell back fainting. However, due to a constitution of inherent strength, he rallied sufficiently to seize his wife and to stagger with her out of the temple. L. C. L.

T H E CAFE CHANTANT The Athletic Association gave a cabaret on the evening of March twenty-second in the recreation hall. Little tables, low lights, good eats (for good money) and an excellent bill of.performers were among the elements that added to the enjoyment of the patrons. The following impersonations were very ably given. Pavlowa .

T H E MINSTREL SHOW The Y. W. C. A. Cabinet provided entertainment for the school in the form of a Minstrel Show, Saturday evening, March tenth. A dark cloud hung over Senior Hall before and after the performance, due to the burning of cork. As this evening was the one time in all the year when we were permitted to take the names of the faculty in vain, the affair was a huge success. Those who took part in this performance were the Misses Hawley, Smith, C. Clark, Bailey, E. Shaw, Mackey, Gifford, Shoop, Nash, Press, Hobbs, Bigelow, Rodenbough, Parker, and Patterson.

A SENIOR MEETING A very important meeting of the Senior Class is announced in the dining-room. The members of the class seize their knitting and amble to North Parlor with resigned though business-like expressions of countenance. After our honored President has edified the company for fifteen minutes by sundry caperings, she assumes a stern aspect and raps smartly on the table with a knitting-needle-a lady-like way of saying "Shut up." Conversations throughout the room are reduced to lower tones, and Martin, whose colossal form is discovered drowsily reclining on the couch, is unceremoniously thrust forth to do her duty as Sergeantat-arms. After someone has stated the object of the meeting, a moment of rare silence elapses while the idea penetrates. Six different motions are then made a t one and the same moment. A discussion begins, which, with the increasing annoyance of everyone a t the innate stupidity of everyone else, rises to a deafening uproar. The president, with a truly amazing exhibition of unsuspected vocal powers manages a t last to make heard her yowls for peace, and a grateful calm reigns, broken only by the squawks of Judy, called forth by some remark of Peg's, and by the sonorous tones of Giffie inquiring how many stitches you cast on for the sleeves. When Jude has ceased her own conversation long enough to emit an emphatic"Sh-h-h!" a discussion arises as to the necessity of discussing the subject in question so early in the year, and a motion is finally carried to argue the point later. Some blooming idiot for the twenty-eighth time brings up the subject of class emblems. There issues an excellent imitation of a Polish riot, during which our President is seen to mop the perspiration from her haggard brow. A vote is eventually taken. As a result, five members of the class want pins, five prefer rings, five desire bracelets, five insist on pendants, and five consider it utterly absurd to have anything. The President's feeble cries of "Order," a t this juncture make about as much commotion in this maddened throng as eating marshmallows in a foundry. The thoroughly exasperated woman lobks about ready to yell for embalming fluid when above the hair-raising din the 1.00 o'clock bell is faintly discerned, and with appropriate remarks on the utter idiocy of one another, the members of the class of 1917dash forth from Senior meeting.

PROVERBS I.

A Senior Hall carpet-sweeper gathers no dust.

Every girl's man has a silver framing. 3. A whisper in time saves a flunk. 4. It's a C. C. I. piano that has no tuning. 5 . A little bill maketh a glad father. 6. Never put away for to-morrow what you can eat to-day. 7. The pen may be mightier than the sword, but neither of them has anything on the red pencil. 8. How far the little candle throws its beams! So shines a good "A" on a bum report-card. 9. Consider the Seniors, how they pass; they toil not, neither do they work, yet even ye Juniors, with all your labors, receive not marks like one of these. (I wonder why ? ! I) 2.

A STUDY IN SOUNDS SCENE-SANCTUM OF THE SENIORS OF C. C. I.

-Bumps and the Appley-woman arise to study. -Peace disturbed by faculty performing ablutions in lavatory. -Shoopie circulates. Much annoying commotion a t doors, and-"Up, scouts!" -Sonorous snore from Peg. Howell-ing and Rumbl-ing over which stocking is which's. Lilly and Casey propounding the momentous question of whose turn it is to shut the window. Frantic footsteps of Mackey on a borrowing expedition. -Curses, not loud, but deep. -Judy awakens and delivers a spicy dissertation on the subject of cold. -Bell sounds. Groans of grief, shrieks of horror, and howls of wrath rend the air. -Hobbs breaks a shoe-string and loses her religion. -Senior Hall in a body dashes downstairs like a regiment of horse. -Lamentations from all quarters at sight of beds rent asunder and windows ruthlessly flung wide. -Cackle of laughter from Happy Volger-(all those who know her can imagine what she has just done). -Bee Hawley sings "Doggone Willie "-recognizable by the words only. -Partial peace. Many minds struggle to absorb much knowledge before classes. 11

-Tony, having been thrust forth from chapel, ambles up the stairs, muttering untold things.

M.-Chapel over. Much borrowing of soap. Tewks loudly wants to know for the love of a ha-a-am sandwich, why everybody doesn't seem to appreciate her white shoes. "SO long, so long, Le-e-e-tty" (This from Katie Rumble.)

-Smell of beans for luncheon, wafted from the dining-room produces yowls. -Hall reverberates with downward-crashingfootsteps. -Hobbs begins tickling the ivories in the practice room. Bee perched on top of the piano keeps time on the mahogany with her feet. The rest sing. No other noise discernible. -Classes again. Those who have none linger in their doorways engaged in conversation, while waiting for the mail. -Martin receives no mail but the Patterson Morning Call, and can be heard for miles around. -Hazel borrows a gym-suit, or, rather, stands in her doorway and squawks for one. -Nat implores the hall's assistance in thinking of an excuse to get out of gym. -Bee can be heard solemnly enlightening Judy on the subject of good behavior in the march. -Appley-woman laments there are no "party bows" on her gym suit. -Seniors sadly depart for gym. -Seniors hilariously return. Judy, who has been scolded, applies to the heavens above and the earth below for justice and a judge. Mackey begins picking out the "Rosary" on her mandolin.'' ' '.' .. 'Bumps Lesher, with a vergil.

Eddy sadly enters "Cell 49" to keep a little more probation. Voice of Bullock heard-well, guess where ? -Grand dive for Senior Hall's three bath-tubs. Numerous garments borrowed and lent. -Polish riot. -Someone tries to borrow a trot. (The Editor is prohibited from mentioning any names in this connection-). -Wails of rage from those who got tardy marksmeaning everybody on the hall except the Appley-woman. -Study-hour. No sound on the hall except the click of knitting needles, the rustle of magazine pages, the crunching of saltines, and the buzz of animated conversation. -(Peg yells for Judy). (Judy yells for Peg). Marty begins to sing, scattering her callers like , chaff before the wind. Everyone howls for something to eat. -Tardies having been duly administered on lower end, Eddy imitates Charlie Chaplin amid great applause while the teacher is attending to the other end. -Sounds a t intervals of late teeth-brushings. Pattering of bed-slippered footsteps on the balcony between 37 and 41. Teacher squelches Louise Hall, who has kept her light on late to apply cold cream and curlers. Unholy giggles from various quarters. -Sonorous snore from Peg. (As it was in the beginning) -Ticking of Eddy's ddllar watch. -Silence. E DITOR

Carolyn Clark-"My father won the King cup for being the most popular man in Blue Point." Casey Ingham(hearing only last words)-"Is that where all the oysters come from ? " Teacher, in History Class-"Edna, describe the personal appearance of George Washington." Eddy (after deep thought) -" Why-George Washington ? Oh yes, he rode in a coach and four horses." Happy Volger-"Goodnight, such a rumbling as there is in ' my tummy-like a cart going over cobblestones!" Hobbs-"Must be that truck you ate for luncheon!" Teacher-"A fool, you know, can ask questions that the wisest man can't answer." Peg Press-"Oh, so rhat's why I flunked, is it?" Bet Shaw-" Why is it dangerous to walk outdoors in the spring, Ted ? " Ted Clark-"Oh, I don't know-why?" Bet-" Because the grass is putting forth its blades, the trees are shooting and the flowers all have pistils." Ted (after five minutes' intermission)-"Oh, that's a good one -wait till I tell Jo-Jo, why is it dangerous to go outdoors in the spring?" Jo-" Why?" Ted (excitedly) -" Because the grass is growing, the flowers are budding, and the trees are leafing. Isn't that a good one ?" And then she wonders where Jo's sense of humor is!!! Announcement in chapel-"The visiting delegates from the conference are coming next week to see the operations in the classrooms." Voice from Senior Row-"He means those who cut classes." ;1 Appley-woman (in the dead of night)-"Is that someone knocking?" Eddie (from the depths of the pillow)-"Naw, that's only my Ingersoll."

Lives of Seniors oft remind us When they've strived to do their best They, departing, leave behind them Notebooks that will help the rest. Eddy-"My room-mate got up this morning and the radiator." (Yes, we killed her.) A SHORT STORY Little Girl Little Grave

- Canned Meat - Violets Sweet

Teacher (enthusiastically) -" Look, everything on the table is round-round pineapple salad, round balls of cheese, round cookies." Appley-woman-"I'd prefer a square meal." Of all sad things of tongue or pen, The saddest of all, by Heck, Is to find nothing in a letter, Which says-" Enclosed find check." Mike Merchant-" My mind is my memorandum." Gaby Brewster-"Oh, I see, sort of a blank book." Teacher-"Lillian, you have spelled the word 'rabbit' with two ' ts9-you must omit one." Tommy Atkinson-" Yes'm-which one ?" Lillie Cook-" How do you like my new Ann-dress ?" Casey Ingham-"The cloth is a pretty color, but it looks tearable." (Now they don't speak.) Gordon (writing Judy)-"You will soon be home from school and we can go in swimming. I haven't been in the water sihce you left last fall-" Judyt'' Why, the dirty thing!"

" Shoopie doesn't seem to care much about her train-trip home in June," said the Appley-woman t o Tony.

"yes," said Tony, "she always seems to have that 'Lack-awanta' feeling."

"OH, AIN'T IT A GRAND AN' GLORIOUS FEELIN" W HEN a sleep-squinted glance at your watch tells you it is 7.15, with ten more minutes t o sleep.

W HEN you're all nerved up to devour a dessert of prunes, and they bring on goocake.

W HEN the very first test-question on the board is the one you studied on your way up t o class.

W HEN somebody at your table doesn't eat chocolate eclairs (not a chance of ever getting this sensation, though):

W HEN the teacher inspects your bureau drawers and doesn't look under the top layer.

W HEN in the middle of study-hour, you feel in need of a little food to soothe the hunger of the Aching Void, and your "rummy" reluctantly produces the orange she brought up from breakfast.

W HEN some member of the faculty asks to see you after chapel, and, after spending the whole service wondering whether she saw you on your last illegitimate tour downtown, or whether she knows you put salt in the sugar bowl a t her table, whether she heard the commotion you all made a t that feed in your room last night, or if perhaps-oh horrid thoughtshe wants you to rave in Current Topics, she only tells you what splendid marks you have been getting lately.

W HEN you are stranded downtown with your stomach sticking to your backbone but without one penny to strike against another, and somebody walks up with that quarter she borrowed last year.

Teacher-"If a man dies and no heir is present, what is to be done ?" Stude (in a stage whisper)-"Open the window." There are two sad things about school. One is graduating; the other is not graduating. That mischievous reprobate Ed Without "per" t o Batchelloissped But to end her elation, She got on probation, And since, what a life she had led! Teacher (gazing a t tablecloth)-''Did some one tip over a glass of water ?" A1 Shaw-"No, that's where Bet has been eating grape fruit." Laugh and your teacher laughs with you, Laugh and you laugh aloneThe first when the joke is the teacher's, The last when it's one of your own.

" Steady-" Because there were so many knights." Shoopie, passing the charred ruins of a burned house-"Gee, they must have had a fire here!" Bullock-"I didn't miss a thing in my exam, except, of course, a few questions." Marty (struggling with Math.)-"If you had a dollar and thirty-nine cents and I gave you five dollars and seventy-three cents, wh5t would you have ? " Casey (sleepily) -" Hysterics! " Awful commotion heard on South Hall. Alma Seaman (returning after investigation of cause)-"The teacher on duty put her foot down."

VICTIM OF AMERICAN HISTORY What time it was, I do not know What place I do not care But in American History class Sat Casey, sad and fair. Her turn was fast approaching She was consumed with fright Her one thought was, "Oh! how I hope I won't have to recite." At last the one beside her Had stood and had her say, And then for poor dear Casey 'Twas night instead of day. A name was called, she, trembling rose, And started to "expound "But why this mighty laughter That shakes the whole room round ? The class was in an uproar! Casey began to fumble For instead of Katharine Ingham The name was Kathryn Rumble.

I AM A CUT (Taken by request from the Open Meeting Scroll of the Diokosophian Society) To use me indiscriminately is the chief delight of the young lady of Centenary Collegiate Instkdtk; t o have used me indiscriminately is her greatest sorrow. If she issues forth into the hall in her nightie, I am there; if the bell rings before she has time to return to her boudoir, I am there. If she washes after bells, I am there; or if she goes to breakfast without washing, I am there. If she goes not to gym, I am there; if she goes and her acttons are unbefitting a gymnas't, I am there also. If she sallies forth t o a feed and makes too much noise, I am there; but if she remains a t home in her room and makes too much noise, even there am I also. If she eats canned salmon in her room, I am there; but if she comes not to the dining-room to eat canned salmon, there am I likewise. Yea, verily, I am omnipresent.

I am a cut.
