THE ARSENAL CANNON WH. Ji-iff' fortune on their latest publication, How to Giggle for Ten Minutes Without Incurring Serious Injur- iesf' All New York has been swept by a wave of giggling because of their new and startling statements. Naomi Cox is a syndicate writer of children's bed-time stories. George Gardner, pants presser in Joe Foyls Hand Laundry, remarked in An Interview with Famous Men, What's in a name anyway? Others of our class seemingly have hidden them- selves away in obscure corners of the earth. Of them we have not found hide nor hair. There- fore, with all due respects, we hereby submit this record to whom it may concern. JOHN LITTLE MARJORIE MCELROY Senior Play Committees Student business manager: John Nickerson.

Visions of drills and pinchers floated before my eyesl Nextl called that seem- ingly ogre-like voice once more. I looked around and saw the accusing eyes of the other sufferers upon me. They knew I was nextl There was no way outl So, sufferingly, I complied and entered-the door which was, as you must have guessed, the dentist's. Two months later I stood wearily, waiting in line. My feet had been stepped on so much they dicln't look at if they were mine. I was wedged in so tightly I felt like the filling of a sandwich. Next? asked someone in a bored voice, and a thrill of Joy ran over me. I looked around, and I saw the envious glances cast toward me. How happy I felt that I was next. So I stepped up and received perfectly wonderful tickets for the senior class play. Most of the things that are put off until tomor- row should have been done vesterday. page lllflfy To Beau Brzwmzel Haill Beau Brummel, King of Hearts, Hail, oh glorious Prince of Beauxl VVe bow before thy gallantries, Thy triumphs and thy woes Haill Oh perfect gentleman In courtly manners schooled, Thy mandates made the noblest bend, Thy whims a regent ruled. A frown from you-a broken heart- A smile-a fortune made, As you strolled slowly down the Mall In fashionls garbs arrayed. You drained the cup of sacrifice At true love's own behest, You cast aside an Empirels power, But Beau, for that we love you best.

'W-it, THEARSENAL CANNON 5 really due to the wonderful course which Tech offered them. A handsome and imposing picture of Ernest Rea stared us in the face as we rounded a sharp turn in the road. Well, no one ever thought that Ernie would make a famous musician of himself, we said triumphantly, for had we not prophesied that he would be one of the bright lights of the Metropolitan Opera Co.? Our triumph that instant was changed to chagrin, a loud report from the rear end of the Fliv brought us to a halt. However, beneath the seat was a box of Hill's Folding Auto Tires. After some three minutes' effort the car was ready to start on its way again, thanks to Paul Hill's invention. Late that evening, we arrived in New York. ln the morning our exploration was begun. The first familiar faces we saw were those of Helen Hamilton and Mildred Hendrixson. Both looked like very prosperous American business women. When asked as to how the world had treated them since they had left behind the fair portals of Tech, Helen replied complacently, Oh, we're doing business now with a millionaire. VVe remarked, half en- viously, that it was not everyone who could make such a success of her life. Upon inquiring further, we learned that both girls were selling chewing gum at Woolworth's. Helen always did have such a wonderful sense of humor, didn't she. Later on in the day when we dropped in to trade with her for some much-needed accessories for the Fliv, she asked if we had seen Dick Fox and c'Bob Mauk. We were much surprised to hear that both were in New York. Helen told us that we'd hnd their shop if we rode up Fifth Avenue. Sure enough, we found it, a magnificent Modistes' Shoppe. Upon entering, we spied Dorothy Screes and Jeannette Harris chatting like magpies. Dorothy had just stopped in New York on her way to Cleve- land where she is dean of girls at Western Reserve. Jeannette had finally accepted a position as the private secretary of Dick, who is the business head of the firm. We wish to state, however, that in spite of all of his burdensome duties, Dick has by no means lost his elegant and fastidious manners which are considered, by the fairer sex, so charmingf, 'LBob Mauk, who has earned for himself the name, The Ladies Man, designs all the exclusive gowns for which the Shoppe is noted. Modeling for Bob are Mary Lois Givens, Catherine Bray, Grace Avels, and Evelyn Garrett. Dick was all enthused over a wonderful island in the South Seas which Lee Newland, the famous explorer, had recently run across. It seemed that Lee was not the first to discover the merits of the island. glohn Nickerson, a professional pearl diver, carries on a thriving business there. Gladys Mullin is actively engaged in social service work among the natives, while Howard McMillan was lately ap- pointed official dog catcher. There being no dogs in the vicinity, Tech has willingly agreed to export all her renowned Campus Canines so that Howard may have suliicient work. Bidding the Shoppe and its owners farewell, we rolled up the Avenue, but were soon halted by an immense crowd which blocked the thoroughfare from one side to the other. No, fond readers, it was not an accident, merely Vaughn Gayman, a Baptist minister, making his daily plea on the corner. It took the combined efforts of joe Stone, Elmer Paul, Ivan Pogue, Ray Russell, Martin Barnett, Kermit Suhre, Hugh Thatcher, Herman Hagemeir, and James Yeagley, police captains of New York's force, to break up the crowd. While riding through Greenwich Village we saw, in blazing letters of gold, Srlzmiflt tml! Sfhrei15ar'. Ah, here were more Techitesl Paul regretted that Clara was out, but declared that business was line and that he'd bought a new sign for their shop. When leaving we viewed with interest the three gold balls, evident signs of prosperity. From a late edition of the New York Time: entertainment was secured for the evening, a prize light between Guy lnman and Norman Thompson. Guy's manager and sparring partner are Robert Kuemmich and Donald -lohnston, popularly known in ringside circles as Kid Johnston. Numbered among Guy's enthusiastic supporters were Virginia Boyer, the founder of a model kin- dergarten, Cecil Hayworth and Hugh Dorsey of the firm of Hayworth and Dorsey, Commercial Printers, and Anna Doll, owner of a marionet show playing with great success in New York at the present time. From this same edition of the Timer the follow- ing facts were gleaned. Genevieve Fisher, our illustrious song-writer, is branching out into the professional world where her remarkable talent is recognized. Her most touching composition, Where, Oh Where Has My Monkey Gone? has won much favor among members of the Organ Grinders' Union. Louise Fletcher is writing for Coflcge Hmlzor. William Gillespie, a broker in Wall Street, went to the wall, causing many of the 400 to be- come panic-stricken. Harold Eviston has a wonderful position as chief barber to the House of David. Mary Bastian is in India making a collection of antique Persian rugs. Julia Clemens and Ruth Ebner have rnaile a page lwenly-nine
