Ml RACK I met your eyes in a room Where people were milling about, And in your eyes I saw a wish That leaped, then seemed to shout. ' Let us leave here. We met in the garden; you took my hand. And led me to a scat. W'hcn you looked at me. I trembled. My heart gave a terrible leap! I looked at the stars shining softly. And then I turned my head. You were gone! O my Cod, In my madness. I had tried to believe you weren't dead! Catherine Bouthilet ITS A DATE! Sally is the cutest little trick on the campus in her K. O. suits and frocks. She knows it doesn't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing So Sally goes to Kepler’s for her wardrobe. ShE likes dashing sport togs, all-occasion frocks with that exciting touch, and soft, alluring evening gowns. Kepler’s have them all, priced to fit the small allowance. •Knock-out. KEPLER’S EAU CLAIRE, WIS. Great Inventions When I asked him what the three greatest inventions are and why. Mr. Bridgman's face became masked in thought. That's a pretty big field to cover. he said at last as he led the way into his study. I believe the wheel to be the first one. he began. ’ Because primitive man had no wheel, he had to drag things he wanted moved from place to place. I he wheel made transportation possible; it is the foundation of all mechanical devices. Possibly the next is the telephone. It has become the modern means of communication. Outgrowths of the telephone are the radio and the wireless. For the third I should say the X-ray. for it has practically revolutionized surgery. It is also being used for its therapeutic value. 1 put the same question to Dr. Judd. His face took on a serious expression, and his eyes seemed to penetrate the wall. ITicn he said. All great inventions mark an era of greater progress. The first great invention was the steam engine; it shortened distances on both land and water. liccausc of this, man can get more out of life. The second was the internal combustion engine. This was a lighter machine It made the automtioilc possible. The next one was Edison's light bulb. The vacuum radio tube is an outgrowth of the Edison bulb. The photo-electric cell, which is the basis of television, is only a highly modified and differentiated Edison bulb. At a Basketball Game Nobody could help noticing them when they came in about fifteen minutes late to the game She looked like a picture of what the well-dressed girl should wear to a basketball game; his manner was a perfect illustration of how a young man should treat a young lady when he takes her to a game. When she looked down with distaste at the board scats and said. I just know these seats arc dirty. I should have liked to ask her where she thought she was; but he obligingly took out a silk handkerchief and wiped a spot for her to sit on. It was a relief to everyone when they finally sat down, for they obstructed the view, to say the least. But she was not settled yet. No. indeed' She waited until a crucial point in the game when everyone -her escort loudest of them all—was yelling for the home team to make a basket, and then she remarked in a pouting manner. I'm just baking in this heavy jacket I le helped her off with it immediately, but in that short time the basket was made, and he missed seeing it. After that she was quiet for quite a while. She seemed to be concentrating on the clothes worn by those about her. Suddenly her escort jumped up and shouted. Good work. Banton. She lr»ked at him reprovingly. and told him that he was making himself conspicuous. His apology seemed to please her. Soon she tired of watching those about her. and started to watch the game. I esn't that boy look funny swinging his arms like that? she asked What docs he do that for? Her escort went into a detailed explanation, thus missing much of the game. After he was all through, she remarked. ’ 1 still think it is a silly thing to do. So it went on until the last quarter. The score was seventeen to eighteen, and there were only five minutes to play. She asked him how much time was left, and he told her. Well. she remarked in a decisive manner. the score's so close that no matter who wins it will be by just a few points. Let's go now and avoid the rush. Uttering no word of protest, he let her have her way. When she got up, she dropped most of her belongings. which he obligingly retrieved for her. Everyone seated near them gave a sigh of relief as the couple went out. As they were leaving, I heard her say. l.ook at that young man over there with his mother. She keeps bothering him with questions all the time. Can you tell me why anyone would bring a bothersome old woman like that to a game1 I don't see how he can enjoy the game at all.

Mr. Hillier—My text for today is from the morning paper: Never put off until tomorrow what you can get someone else to do today. I think this text is applicable to a great many students of this school— with the exception of this class, of course. Lester Gilbertson—I don't understand why I got Poor on this map, lone Drew—What did you do wrong1 Lester Gilbertson—Nothing that 1 know of. I just got ambitious and colored the whole thing instead of that small part assigned us. Mr. Hillier—I sec by the morning paper Miss Sutherland 11 you will permit me— Dr. Snyder in toto. Dr. Judd--Some of you girls should be in somebody's kitchen instead of in college. Mr. I onaldson—I know that it is hard for you boys to concentrate on what I am saying when there arc so many pretty girls near you. Mr. l;ox—The reason why students don't get their lessons is that they spend most of their time in the balcony. Mrs. Kay (to Louis Berg in cafeteria one morning) —I'm sorry, but the coffee is exhausted. Louis Berg—Yes. poor thing. I vc not iced for sometime that it was very weak. Mr. Whclihan (to Pat when he came home for Christmas vacation) Well, my son. have you any debts1 Pat—No. father, no debts that you will not be able to pay with diligence, economy, and stem self-denial. Life When I was a child. 1 wanted a doll; When a maid, a knight; When a maiden, a lover; When a wife, a babe; When an old woman—death. Ann Hknkkman Ebcr Simpson—Father, teacher wants us to bring to school a simple explanation of inflation and also of the Einstein theory. I wish you'd tell me. Major Simpson All right. I'll begin with the Einstein theory; that's the easier. Worth It? This year, incidental fees paid at the Eau Claire State Teachers' College by students who were residents of Wisconsin were forty dollars a student. How much did it actually cost the State of Wisconsin for each student enrolled here1 The enrollment for 1932-'33 including the Summer School, was Primary Course. 118; Grammar Course. 71; High School Teachers' Course. 400; Rural Course. 51; Special Students. 10; and Summer School. 51. This total of 707 students is an average of the students enrolled the first and second semesters, who will have attended school this year for thirty-six weeks, and one-sixth of the 300 students who attended Summer School in 1932 for a period of six weeks From July I. 1932. to June 30. 1933. the expenditures were capital. $10,731.25; maintenance. $4,514.43; and operation. $130,355.00. With the cost of operation thus at $151.000.74 and the total enrollment at 707, the outlay of the state of Wisconsin to educate each student during the year 1932-1933. was $214 43; in oth-othcr words. $174.43 net for each student. I’his difference between what each student paid and the amount just indicated as the net cost of educating each student was made up by the tax payers of the state. 1. D. W. Taves—I hear a knocking. Maybe it's your opportunity. J. Barnes—Naw, that ain't opportunity. Opportunity knocks but once. Mr. Donaldson—The debate teams this year are better than ever before. Spectator Reporter (timidly)—May we quote you on that, Mr. Donaldson. Mr. Donaldson—Yes, but don't say I said it. Mr. Murray (in English Methods)—For next time I want you to examine Mr. Thomas's Appendix.
