WENONAH PLAYERS WIN APPROVAL RANGE QUINT VICTORIOUS 33 TO 20

FOR MINNESOTA STATE JUNIOR COLLEGE TITLE

The Iron Range district was credited with its second state basketball championship Saturday night when the Eveleth Junior College quint, champions of the northern division, defeated Winona State Teachers College, southern divi-sion champions, for the state junior college title at the University of Minnesota armory by a 33 to 20 score.

Except for a brief period at the start, the speedy Eveleth team managed to keep a safe distance ahead of the Winona quint, whose team work seemed to be lost, possibly due to the large armory floor and the long period of idleness during spring vacation. At the end of the half the score stood 17 to 9 in the northern champions favor.

Winona failed to show the speed and accuracy of their work in the games which, played before the holidays, brought them the southern cham-pionship. Although every man on the team, fought and tried hard to bring Winona on top, the brand of ball they played was inferior to their form in earlier games and to the smooth passing Eveleth team. Coach Habermann used all of his squad in an attempt to get the boys going but with no noticeable results.

Captain Chinske, one of the high scorers in conference, was held to one basket. Bannon, his running mate was responsible for 8 of the teams counters. All of the boys deserve credit for their fighting spirit regardless of the outcome.

For Eveleth, captain Champa, forward, and Lampi, center, by feeding one another managed to count five times apiece from the field and were largely the cause for victory.

In spite of the setback, Winona closed one of the most'successful basketball seasons on record. And it was due to the fact that R. E. Habermann our appreciated and worthy coach, could co-operate with and get the best out of the material

LIBRARY IMPROVEMENTS Miss Mary Grant, librarian, has listed for the

information of students and faculty, the new titles that have been added to the library since the fire, not counting the very many rebound books which had been damaged. The new hooks total nearly 500 and represent an expen-diture of about $800. In addition to hooks there have been purchased new tables, new chairs, a librarians desk, a typewriter, and two reference book cupboards. Other minor im-provements have been made. The library is being rapidly restored and is in reality much more serviceable to the college than before it was damaged.

•:* Both the Wenonah Players and the Winona

Teachers College orchestra made their first public appearance of this year, on Wednesday evening, March 19, at the Masonic temple before an appreciative audience that nearly filled the auditorium.

Booth Tarkington's delightful comedy, "Clar-ence," was given by a cast well chosen and well trained. No slight praise would suffice to express appreciation of the work of Miss Davis of the department of Reading and Speech in producing so successful a presentation, and the work gives large promise for the more ambitious production of The Tempest at the close of,the year.

Able Acting Revealed The droll character of Clarence was well played

by Horace Zimmerman, whose able acting showed a restraint seldom found in amateurs. Cecelia Kowaleska, as Cora, was a charming bit of femininity whose light hearted emotionalism was well balanced by the seriocomic work of Bryant Spencer, as her brother, in their por-trayal of the adolescent characters which Booth Tarkington never fails to include. Miss Ko-waleska's acting showed real talent, and Spen-cer's work was exceptional in its ease and boyishness.

Harold Kelly was especially successful in putting maturity into the part of the sedate harrassed father. In the character of Miss Pinney, the governess, Hazel Norton showed both poise and charm, balancing well the pretty, nervous, jealous wife, a part well taken by Ann Strom. The conscientious painstaking work of Virginia Pierard, Helen Doebler, Gust Wall, and William Engels in minor parts of secretary, maid, butler, and grass-widower lover showed the finish always necessary to sustain the excellence of the whole.

Orchestra Wins Praise The Teachers College orchestra in its work of

last evening proved itself a notable addition to the musical organizations. of Winona, and reflected credit upon both the leader, Walter Grimm, and the members. Between the second and third acts a violin solo, The Shepherd's Dance by Edward German, was given by A. M. Christensen, which by its beauty and delicacy met with such favor as to call for an encore, to which he responded with Massenet's Meditation from Thais.

The second performance of the play was given on Thursday evening, March 20, before the students and faculty. This audience even surpassed that of the first night in its enthusi-astic reception of the work of "The Players."

Miss Davis and "The Wenonah Players" wish to thank through the columns of "The Winonan" the various departments of the school that so loyally helped in the production of "Clarence." Much appreciation is expressed also for the

generosity of the Hillyer Furniture Company and the Christianson Music Shop in loaning the furniture and the piano used in the stage set-tings. The special lighting fixtures were loaned through the courtesy of the Winona Masonic Benevolent Association.

METHODIST CONFERENCE Shall the north and south branches of the

Methodist church unite? Is consolidation of all Protestantism possible? Where can youth serve in the church today? It is to help answer these and other vital

church problems that Winona State Teachers College has been invited to participate in a national convention of Methodist students, the first of its kind ever held, at Louisville, Ken-tucky, April 18, 19, and 20.

It is proposed that every college and university in the United States where any considerable number of Methodist students are enrolled will send at least two delegates to the conference. Plans for the selection of representatives from Winona State Teachers College by Methodist students here, it is expected, will get under way immediately.

At the conference both experts and students will present the various fields of the church, showing what they offer in the way of service, what they are doing to meet the demands made upon them and what the possibilities are. This conference is very unique in that it has been called by students and is under student leadership.

Each college or university in the United States, which has a group of Methodist students, is expected to send at least two delegates. These delegates are to be selected by the various groups of Methodist students and to represent them.

SEATON TO INSPECT ORGANS While the Organ Fund Canvass is not yet

fully completed, because of the absence from the city of some of the liberal supporters of the college, the total figures of cash and pledges have now reached $29,028.47. The executive Committee, having received proposals from a half dozen standard organ builders, requested Mr. Horace Seaton to go to Chicago this week to inspect personally a number of organs which are representative of the workmanship and special patents of the various forms. Several agents of organ companies have been in Winona to make a survey of the building conditions, and to meet the committee.

Our friend Soula (Gust) Wall brought in a little story that might have been humorous about the time Chris Columbus began going barefooted. He said he had brought . it all the way from Minneapolis. We think that . Gust carried that joke a little too far.

A SIMPLE DEDUCTION (With Apologies to A. Conan Doyle)

BY WALLACE MORGAN Where are you going, my pretty maid?" "I'm going a-shopping, sir," she said.

"Who was that! Oh, the young lady,—why, my dear Watson, that is so simple. Well, of course you noticed that she was different from the average young lady. She was—keen? Yes keen, thats the word, keen!. .. Watson, I fear you will never learn this American slang. Keen means — well, I can't just explain it, but when one sees it he recognizes it and he never forgets it. However, my dear friend, I want to assure you that young lady was keen....I presume you did not notice the neat little newspaper she carried? ...No! Well I can't say that I blame you. That, Watson, was a copy of the Winonan.... Yes, of the Winona State Teacher's College. Beginning to see it now, eh Watson? .. Do I think she is typical of the school! Abso-lutely, Watson, absolutely!... Why, my dear friend, I don't quiet see how we can stay in Winona indefinitely."...

"Watson, that interests me. Why should a young lady carry her school paper about when she goes shopping? Rather unusual, what?... Why, certainly, Doctor, I think I should enjoy a walk down town."

"Look, Watson, there's the young lady. See, she's consulting her Winonan. Too bad—she's gone, Watson. She stepped into that large building on the corner—Choate's I believe. Surely we shall wait. Watson.... Ah, here she comes, do you catch what she was saying? Something about going to Bigelow's for horses, I believe. Doctor, I must have a copy of that paper.... What luck, Watson, she dropped it! I'll just scan this—now I have it, Watson, all clear now. This is remarkable, sir, remarkable. She does her shopping with the firms who ad-vertise in the Winonan. Watson isn't that fine? ...Oho, she's coming back, is she? Trust dear old Watson for that!"

THE CITY George Mead swung out of his low, prosperous-

looking car, onto the gravel path that led to the little white house of his father. He stopped for a moment, kicking reflectively one of the clam shells that were laid in an orderly border along the path. Then resolutely he stepped upon the low porch and opened the storm door.

"Hello, Mother." "George!" His mother, wiping her little, transparant

hands on her apron, came from the kitchen to greet him.

"Where's Dad?" "Out doing his chores. He's a little late this

morning. That rheumatism just cripples him all up in this kind of weather.

George took off his heavy overcoat and gloves, and held his hands toward the stove in the corner of the room.

"How's Mabel?" Ann Mead asked as she poured more coal into the stove from a black scuttle.

"Pretty fair," her son answered absently. Then he added, "Dad's getting pretty old to be running this place all alone, especially through these beastly, New England winters."

Ann Mead straightened her little, bent form and without looking at him, said,

"Your father has kep' this place goin' sixty-two years, and I guess he's still holdin' up his end of the load."

"Yes, I know, Mother. But it seems to me you two would be lots better off with Mabel and me in the city. There's a warm, comfortable flat with plenty of room for all of us. You and Dad deserve a rest. You'd get it there."

"Good mornin', George." "Oh, hello, Father. I was just telling Moth-

er—" "Yes, I heard you. I guess we'll stay here."

The gaunt, old man, who had just come in, spoke quietly, but George realized, that the matter was closed.

The rest of his brief visit passed without further reference to the matter, but even when the kindly disposed son started back to the luxury of his apartment in New York he felt a restraint hanging over the family. Going down the road, George saluted the old family doctor, who was riding out toward the Mead farm in his decrepit buggy.

"Funny old codger! He ought to invest in a Ford," was the younger Mead's comment as he passed him.

Dr. Kitridge found the Meads alone in the parlor, Ann with a basket of mending in her lap, Peter drawing meditatively at his long stemmed pipe. After a brief salutation, he sat down by the stove. The three sat silently as they had so often done before on chilly autumn evenings. At least Peter Mead spoke.

"Well, sir, a funny thing happened today." "Yes?" "George was here." "I met him." "He wanted Ann and me to go back to the

city with him—to live." "Well?" "I reckon we can get on awhile longer in the

old place, eh, Mother?"

Ann looked up with a smile. "We will, too, Peter."

Dr. Kitridge stirred nervously. "That's what I came about." He stopped,

hoping for encouragement from the two old people. Since the undemonstrative pair said nothing, he went on.

"You two aren't as young as you used to be, and these New England winters take even young people, sometimes."

"You mean we wouldn't be able to stand another winter, where we've thrived over sixty years? Pshaw!" he spoke incredulously.

"That's about it, Mead." "Have you been talking to George? Doctor?" "No. Last winter hit you both pretty hard

and after this winter—" Dr. Kitridge shrugged his shoulders and sighed.

Ann's hand trembled a little more; Peter drew hard upon his pipe, blowing out short, quick puffs of smoke. That was all.

The next day brought a blizzard. From little eddies of snow came great, sweeping clouds of small, icy flakes. In the morning, Peter had done his work as usual, but when he came in, chilled through and through he looked grave. All day he puttered about the house, looking at everything in it as if he had not seen it for a long time. Once Ann saw him stroking the arm of a little, worn, three-cornered chair that he had made for Della many years ago.

Della! The thought of the daughter who had grown so straight and handsome brought tears to her eyes for a moment. Then her lips drew into a straight line; the tears disappeared and left a hard, little glint in their place. The city had taken her. No one knew where she was now. The city had taken George, too, and left in his place a loud-mouthed, superficial business man who might have been anyone of the thou-sands like him. He, in turn, got from the city, a wife who looked at her husband's people with raised eye-brows, and a trace of impatient amusement. He got money, too, money to furnish a low-swung car and a "warm, com-fortable flat." And it was to that Geroge wanted to take them.

Peter, dragging a little the leg stiffened with rheumatism, walked to the kitchen window and looked out. The backyard was choked with drifts, and the wind still whipped the snow fiercely into the air. He hardly noticed the intensity of the storm. This morning he had hardly been able to fight his way to the house from the barn. It was worse now. He dare not even go out. The awful realization that Kitridge was right had come to him. To leave the place that he had worked for so long was like taking away his life. The little, old-fash-ioned house was home for him, home. No other place could ever mean that, now. He shuddered at the thought of seeing Ann treated with that exaggerated consideration that seems to shout, "Let a young body do that. Yours is worn out!"

She could not stay here. What was he to do? Ann, watching him secretly, could not know the struggle that went on in his heart. There was not an outward sign of emotion to tell her.

"Well, Ann, I suppose we might as well cover the furniture and just let it stand, when we go?"

THE WINONAN

"When we go!" Ann dropped her hands at her sides, helplessly and looked at her husband in dumb surprise.

"When we go — where?" Peter walked to the stove and sat down

dejectedly in the old rocking chair. It was not like him to submit so easily, and Ann realized that he was nearly worn out. Her tense body relaxed and she looked at him tenderly.

"Do you want to go, Peter?" "It's the only way out." Her eyes shifted slowly to the window. The

wind sounded harsh and penetrating in the stillness. She stood looking at the work of the storm with unwinking lids. Gradually, her body became tense again and radiated determi-nation. Then, without changing her position, she said slowly.

"No, Peter, that ain't the way out. I always expected to die here. I didn't want to live on my children — ever. If we're through here, we're all through."

Peter raised his head from his hands, still staring straight ahead. He seemed scarcely to hear her.

"You ain't fed the cows yet, Peter. It's dark. I'll hold the lantern for you."

The old man watched her uncomprehendingly as she tipped the chimney of the lantern and held a match to the wick. She threw an old shawl around her shoulders, and stood waiting. Still he sat looking at her stupidly.

"But we can't go out in this storm. Even if I got through, you aren't so strong, Ann. Why, we'd never get back to the house."

"I know it." A tight, little smile twisted Ann's thin lips. "Are you afraid to go, Father?"

At last he seemed to understand. He got up, his eyes fixed on Ann's, took down his mackinaw, and put it on. The two walked to the door, Ann holding the lantern in her left hand, and Peter's hand with the other. At the door, Ann hesitated.

"Just a minute." She disappeared into the little bedroom off the

kitchen. It seemed to Peter that he had been standing there hours, when he heard Ann call in a firm voice that sounded almost cheerful,

"I'll be along in a minute, Peter. I'll be along."

She came to him, the same smile hovering in her eyes. Together they went out into the storm.

Three days later, George stood at the window of his father's house looking out on a cold, clear twilight. The lamp had not yet been lighted. In the corner, on a low chair by the coffin, sat his mother. She looked so utterly helpless as she sat there, swaying back and forth, staring fixidly at the face of her husband, that one could scarcely recognize the resolute figure of Ann Mead. She was rocking slowly, quietly, stead-ily, as she had rocked through two days, slowly, quietly, ceaselessly. When George gently helped her up, leading her to her room, she seemed not to notice it. Her eyes kept the vague look of horrified surprise with which she had watched at her husband's death bed and by his coffin.

The next day, after the few friends who had

WINONA

BY CHARLOTTE FISH

0 Winona, 0 Winona, That's the place for me.

Fairest College in the State That's what she'll always be.

We like to sing it; of course we'll boost Winona; but do we ever stop to think what makes Winona Teacher's College so excellent a school? We accept as a matter of course the high character of the work here. It would be hard to enumerate all the fine things we have enjoyed this year; the chapel talks, the musical treats, the ball games, the parties, "Clarence." We are satis-fied that Winona does offer us splendid oppor-tunities.

It is interesting to think, however, that back of Teachers College as she is today, there is over fifty years of growth and development. As we have watched the construction of our new building, our attention has been called from time to time to the original home of the school. We have heard the story of her progress from the second story of a small building on Fourth Street to College Hall as it will be. Our present student body is many times the first enrollment. New departments and instructors have been added one by one. The first course of study appears very meager by the side of the opportunities now offered.

Most important of all, the growing spirit of the school has kept pace with the material growth. Each class has builded on the records of preceding classes. Each bit of good work, whether in the class room or in outside activities, has helped set a standard toward which other individuals might work. Year by year these standards have lifted the work of the institution to higher levels. We expect good games, good plays, good music, good classwork becausd Winona standards demand good work. As we go out to our various positions next year, we will find that Winona standards have preceded us. Winona graduates are expected to do good work.

We are indebted to the teachers and students who in the past have helped to establish Wino-na's ideals. In a large measure they have made possible what we have accomplished this year. Are we leaving records of personal growth, of conscientious effort, of loyalty to ideals? Will Winona be a better college in the future because we have been part of the institution?

attended the funeral had quietly gone, George seated his mother in his low-swung, prosperous-looking car. She looked back at the little white house with its long, narrow porch, and at the rows of clam shells bordering the path visible where the wind had swept the snow away. Again the tight, little smile twisted her thin lips and lighted up the tired, little face. In a low, quavering voice she said.

"I'll be along in a little while, Peter, I'll be along."

COMPETITIVE ATHLETICS There are times when one reads in the papers

criticism that competitive athletics are harmful from a physical and scholastic standpoint, so it is well worth while to consider the worth of this form of physical recreation.

Studies made by Dr. Meylan, Dr. Anderson, and others, prove that even strenuous competi-tion in athletic sports increase the athletes' vitality, longevity, and usefulness.

It is true, in many cases, that there has been more straining than training; but that is due to the fact that schools and colleges are prone to employ a man to handle their athletics who has been a star at some college or university, but who knows nothing about anatomy, physiology, hygiene and the care of the body in general. Men of that type ruin many boys every year. Long drawn out tournaments are to blame in many cases too.

The fact that athletes must live carefully and not indulge in any of the vices that others do, certainly improves the health just that much more than the average person's. This would not be true if it were merely a spasmodic thing; but an athlete cannot be made in a short time. It generally requires years to develop a winner and those years are the most important in producing vitality. This results in long life.

The relation between athletics and scholarship in college has repeatly been shown. Athletics will not change an ignoramus into a scholar, and neither does good scholarship always make a good athlete, but there are good points in its favor. A good scholar will play a brainier game and is easier to coach, for he learns more quickly. But the fact must be considered that a man in athletics is carrying an extra subject. Give the good scholar another subject, take away from two to three hours of his study time a day and then see if he is an "A" student or not. Take him on hard trips, have him play hard games, and then note the result.

AN APPRECIATION

The old staff — there it is. Look at it. That is the body that made your paper what it is. For a year it has given you your paper regularly, always reaching the high standard it set for itself with the very first issue. You have looked forward to the morning when your Winonan was given to you and have been unwilling to turn to the routine of your first period class until you had read it all. You enjoyed it, of course. But how much thought have you given to the work that went into it, to the people in back of that work? They never made much noise, to be sure, but that was because there was too much to be done, and because they knew their business too well.

If there were any weak parts of the staff, we never knew it. The strength of the unit, covered that, and the finished product was a success. Did you contribute to that success of the Winonan, or did you "let Elizabeth do it?" If you did the latter, you'll admit she did do it, and did it well, with the help of the rest of the staff. Certainly we owe them all a great deal.

Most of the members of that staff are now working on the annual, the Wenonah. There isn't a vacation waiting for them after they give the responsibility of the Winonan to others. There is more work to be done for you, and they are doing it, quietly, faithfully, just as they have done the work on the paper, hoping for your cooperation, but getting things done whether they get your help or not. They are doing their share and all of yours that you leave undone, just as they have done through the past year. In addition to this responsibility, they have always had as much work as any other group of students. It is just another proof of the truth that "it is always the busy people who get things done."

When we say to them, "We who have been entertained and benefited by the school publica-tion that you made worth while, appreciate your work; we who are coming on after you, thank you for the start you have given us," we are merely paying a small part of our debt. Let us give them all, beginning with Miss Mack and going through the entire group as fitting a com-pensation for their work as we can, complete appreciation.

Students are again turning their thoughts from good times, which lasted for a week, to the deep thought and study of the new term.

The new staff is glad to see the Faculty and student members of W.S.T.C. back again and happy.

Strains of "Everybody happy — well, I should say," accompanied by ukuleles and sweet voices were heard aboard the train going north Friday evening, March the seventh.

A few of W.S.T.C. students have evidently yielded to the call of spring, for they have been seen strolling along the shores of Lake Winona.

Many of our fair students were seen sporting new spring togs. This must have made Dad's pocket feel pretty slim!

There were eighteen students who enrolled for work in the college on March 18, bringing the total membership for the year since Septem-ber to 597. This enrollment exceeds by thirty the total figures for last year, and is the largest in the history of the school. This record is especially gratifying in view of the serious in-conveniences which new students knew they would find here this year. •

The cast of "Clarence" is to be especially complimented on their production of the play. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed it.

Miss Bernice Bingham visited friends in Brownsdale during her vacation.

Gordon Beatty, an active member of our famous basket ball team, spent the greater part of his vacation "au lit."

A number of College students attended the De Molay dance given at the Masonic Temple, Friday the 21st.

Mr. Scarborough, instructor of Geography, has been absent on account of a severe case of tonsilitis.

At a farewell party, given March sixth at North Lodge in honor of Theresa Mische and Mina Venables, covers were laid for six. Those present were: Mary Otto, Ada Thorn, Ruth Linder, and Evelyn Nelson.

Among the new girls at North Lodge are Ardette Olsen from Lakefield, Olga Pederson from Amboy, and Viola Steege from Watertown.

Among the newcomers at Shepard Hall are: Winona Smith of La Crescent, Virginia Metcalf of Minneapolis, and Genevieve Harrington of Red Wing.

Miss Flossie Torrence of Shepard Hall did not return for the spring term.

HELP WANTED The other day we stood in line at the library

for twenty minutes or more, waiting, just wait-ing. There were many students in that line, Waiting! The fault was not with the librarians. They were working as rapidly and as efficiently as is humanly possible. The fact remains, that many minutes were wasted, waiting.

May we suggest that at certain rush hours a larger staff be employed in the library? •

SENIOR GIRLS' BASKET BALL TEAMS DEFEND RECORD

On Saturday, March 22, the Senior Girl's First Team played the Junior Girl's First team in a snappy, fast, basket ball game. Both teams displayed unusual skill in passing the ball, and the game from beginning to end was peppy and interesting. The Seniors seemed to have the advantage from the start and with their excellent team work had no trouble in rolling in the baskets. The Juniors, however, put up a lively fight and kept the Seniors guessing up until the last minute. When the final whistle blew and the game was over the score stood 22 to 13 in favor of the Seniors. The Juniors swear revenge and claim that they will win the next game. The lineups for the First teams were as follows:

SENIORS JUNIORS D. Fraelick J C E. Koskey L. Perdue R.C. M. Yennie A. Gorgus R. G. C Murphy L. Myers L G V Spangler A. Wein (Capt.) R.F.. . J. Otterness (Capt.) N. Ayer. M. Raddatz B. Nesbitt Subs.. ... G. Anderbouler

The Senior and Junior Second Teams played the preliminary game. The Senior "Seconds" won after a hard fought struggle. The Junior "Seconds" fought all the way through keeping the score very close though the first half the

COUNTRY LIFE CLUB ELECTS NEW OFFICERS

The members of the Country Life Club held their regular meeting at the training school Wednesday evening, March 19. The following officers were elected: Hattie Fenske President Helen Prentice Sec. and Treas. Hannah Johnson Winonan Reporter

After a discussion in regard to the carnival, which is to be given at a future date, the mem-bers of the club repeated in unison the American Creed and adjourned.

THE WENONAH "How is the Annual coming?" is a prevalent

question being asked of the members of the staff. And the answer is usually "Slow but sure." Vacation gave everyone a chance to rest and now they are working all of their spare time. Studies require just so much time and people must eat and sleep but all the rest of the time the majority of these people are putting on the annual.

Progress has been made rather slowly up to the present, but practically all the material is assembled and the final touches are being put upon the work. Many hours have been spent on the Art work which is of such quality that students will appreciate when the completed book is turned out.

However, not all payments have been made and the cash is needed. The Staff would greatly appreciate a little extra effort on the part of the students in attending to this matter. The business managers have given their time and are willing to give more if people will do as much by going a bit out of their way, both by listening to announcements in Chapel as well as following them out.

Very little time is left before the material must be sent to the printer. The hard work for the 1924 Annual is nearly completed, though the most difficult problems have been before the Staff the last few weeks. This staff feel sure that their efforts will be fully repaid when in a few weeks the book will be put into circu-lation.

DEBATERS ARE AT WORK The W.S.T.C. Debaters are busy preparing

for a contest with Rochester Junior College, which will be held during April. The question of the debate is,. "Resolved: That the Minnesota Legislature at its next session establish a state

constabulary similar to that of Pennsylvania." In regard to a challenge from St. Cloud

Teachers College for a debate on the subject of prohibition of immigrants, a reply has been made that Winona will debate with St. Cloud if the question is changed to that of a state constabulary.

The officers of the Debating Club are: Alfred Boeff President Charlotte Fish Vice President Esther Blank Sec. and Treas.

Co-education has existed in Turkey since 1914.

Kelly just stepped in, and then stepped right out when we said we were looking for jokes.

We understand that Johnny Ott will not be with us next year, as he has accepted a position as yell leader with the International Corres-pondence Schools.

So we took the fifty thousand howls of soup and hollered for crackers.

A dollar may be only worth one-half of what it used to be, but that's no sign its twice as easy to borrow.

Which professor was it that threw his wife out the back door and kissed the garbage?

"Opposites attract opposites," said the tall man as he ordered a short cake.

Bughouse Poetry Mary had a little lamb,

It followed her to school; She went to take a final and

She pulled a nice big "A". C . R .

Wallie Morgan's dome and a large timber collided. The timber was shattered, while Wallie received a slight cut.

CAMPUS SIDE -LIGHTS While most of us were enjoying our vacations,

several of the good boys were laboring (putting in time) at the new College building.

After two days and a half, Chinske fagged out. He said he didn't like to do piece work.
