Dedicated To the Spirit of Perseverance which must needs permeate our activities in the journev toward our final goal of knowl- edge. As Ulysses persevered over the dangers of Scylla and Charybdis and the enticement of Calypso and the Sirens, so may we persevere in overcoming the obstacles which beset the path of higher learning.

Kam ■E: CI a sses And such an one were glad to know the brine Salt on his lips, and the large air again, So gladly, from the songs of modern speech Men turn, and see the stars, and feel the free Shrill wind beyond the close of heavy flowers. The history of the two classes in E.J.C. reveals the fact that, in the sojourn through college life, there is a sharp analogy between collegiate activities and the activities of Odysseus, the Greek, the steadfast and the goodly, who wandered in many queer places after the fall of Troy. (Praise to the imagination of Homer! Had Odysseus been a normal, home-loving husband, there would have been no Odyssey, and no theme for the ' 29 Grizzly.) Since you ' ve read Homer, (and who in E.J.C. hasn ' t?) you will recall that the blind Greek bard etched Odysseus in bold lines, in stark glory, and in strong colors, giving to him a life of amazing glamour, vividness, and activity. (Pity Ludwig doesn ' t do him.) There are various legends about Odysseus, the wily, the man of many devices. There is the one of his feigning madness while he was yet a young man, because he objected to going to the war — of his plowing a salt-strewn field with an ox and an ass harnessed together. Then there are the glorious legends of his might in battle, his bravery, and hL wisdom in council. In truth, his life may be said to be divided into two periods; his life of inexperience before the Trojan war, and his life of achievement and activity during and after the war, during which time his life was a myriad of human experiences. So with the classes of E.J.C. The freshmen come into E.J.C. little experienced but possessing latent abilities and talents which come into full power under the guiding stimulus of college life. The sophomores, although of necessity curtailed from wandering as far and in climes as vario us as did the steadfast Greek, are fairly launched en a long and tortuous journey. These people are on the verge of coming into a life as many sided and as full as was that of Odysseus after the fall of Troy, and before he regained Ithaca. As to what will come after Troy, after the Odyssey of these students of E.J.C, there are a hundred answers, each different from all the rest. Postus Scriptum, and other learned Latin phrases: When this copy was all ready to go to the printer, the august copy reader crashed mightily on the table with his fist, and roared, See here, this won ' t do. You ' ve left the Gods clear out of the story. And the disconcerting thing was that it was disgustingly and terribly and smitingly true. It seems that in Greece and its environs, they couldn ' t have a war or a story or even a kidnapped wif e without the Gods of Mount Olympus interfering. Odysseus had his share of them, friendly and otherwise, just as we have their modern counter- part here in E.J.C. Well, there ' s Zeus, the God Head. He sits enthroned, not on the heights of Mount Olympus, but at the head of the stairs. Zeus, you will remember, zealously espoused the cause of Odysseus, and spent his every effort to frustrate the well laid plans of Poseidon, the angry sea God. So with our Zeus. When many-shaped devils beset our journey, (especially numerous they are, just about exam time) Zeus, with the assistance of the other Gods and Goddesses, succeeds in most instances in steering our boat away from all evil doers. (Sometimes we wish for the chance that Odysseus passed by — that of staying on the Island of the Lotus Eaters, where every- thing was oblivion.) Page The Sophomore Class The sophomore class of ' 29 has the distinction of being the first class to complete the two vears of El Dorado Junior College. As freshman, the class of ' 29 set many precedents such as wearing green caps, the football banquet and many lesser events which all go in making up an interesting year. The spirit of the class has always been excellent, both m class organization and in extra-curricular activities. The sophomores have set a good example for the classes to follow.

This open defiance brought freedom co the Freshmen, who were able to discard their green caps, and to behave as they chose. They chose to help Old Alma Mater in every possible way. The college debate team was ma de up entirely of Freshmen. In athletics, in all sorts of extra-curricular pursuits, the Freshmen contributed successfull talent. Scholastic honors, too, were won by many of the Freshman Class. The student council representatives were: Haden Hobbs, Max Smiley, and Winifred Sandifer; Sponsor, Miss Ferna Wrestler.

But I waste my heart away in longing for Odysseus; so they may speed my marriage and I weave a web of wiles. — Penelope. We ' ve always harbored a notion that the Trojan war wouldn ' t have amounted to so much if it hadn ' t been for the women. In the first place, Helen — but why drag that fair lady ' s name into print again? But then, there was Penelope, the faithful wife of Odysseus. All the wanderings of Odysseus would have been for naught if it hadn ' t been for Penelope. Odysseus would have had no place to go home to, no wooers to slay, nothing nothing! You recall that his faithful Penelope, during the absence of her wandering husband, occupied herself with weaving ' a web of wiles ' . Her house was filled with wooers, each of whom was anxious for her hand, (and perhaps for her rich estate. Gold Digging was just then coming into style). Penelope the wise, stayed off the anxious suitors with a device no end clever. She wove all day on an elaborate piece, telling her suitors that when the thing should be finished, she would make her choice of a husband from among them. Penelope knew the art of stalling as well as do some basket ball teams we ' ve seen. At night she unravelled the work she had spent the day doing, thus stalling for time without offending anyone, except her son Telemachus. (He objected to his mother ' s keeping so many star boarders. He thought it uneconomic. Which proves that men have been material minded for a long time.) Penelope ' s was not a life of progress, but rather one of watchful waiting and of passive influence. It was a well ordered life, a prudent life, a life from which it might be well to draw a lesson. But inasmuch as it was a passive life, it seems the antithesis of modern activity —especially collegiate activity. Nowhere is the fact better demonstrated than in E.J.C., where activity is the order of the day, and of many of the nights. The activities of the various clubs and classes have this year been outstanding. It is a fact worthy of mention that the public performances — forensic, dramatic, athletic — have been more than kindly received by the public, and most kindly com- mented upon by the press. The democratic spirit pervading the various undertakings of the school is very much in evidence. Each for all and all for each seems to be the prevailing spirit. There is little rancor and jealousy, if any at all. So Penelope, with her weaving a web of wiles, after all sets us an example. She worked, and although her work seems futile to us now, it nevertheless served its purpose admirably at the time it was being done. It prepared the weaver for assum- ing again her long interrupted task. Penelope found that activity pays. E.J. C. has found that activity pays, both in a financial way and as a training school for students. It makes college life full and busy and well ordered. Postus Scriptum. Again the copy reader looked up disgustedly. Say, you ' ve missed the whole point of the story about Penelope. Why didn ' t you say, ' Who ' d ever have heard of Penelope if she hadn ' t been a busy person? ' Why didn ' t you say something about Penelope being the originator of the slogan, ' It Pays to Advertise ' ? Why didn ' t you say? —and so, far, far into the time we had hoped to use for sleep. 1. Well, who would have heard of her? 2. Everybody knows that Penelope knew it pays to advertise, or she wouldn ' t have started that weaving in the first place. Page 28 Student Council President , Beryl Hix Vice President Victor Poellner Advisors Miss Mili ord, Miss Townsend The Student Council upheld the precedents established last year in matters of student government, and made several important and worth-while contributions to the code of rules and regulations to be observed by students. It is hoped by the members of the Council that these decisions will in future become worthy traditions of the school. Although the work of the Student Council was inconspicuous, it was neverthe- less consistent. In all cases, matters in question were carefully and judiciously con- sidered before a decision was reached. The Council was deeply and impartially interested in every important activity in E.J.C. — athletics, publications, fcrensics, and social life. By an arbitrary rule, the Council is composed of the presidents of the two classes, three members elected from each class, the student president, and advisors. As a matter of precedent, the president of the sophomore class is president of the Student Council, and the president of the freshman class is the secretary-treasurer. Smiley, D.

An overwhelming vote in favor of the motion was registered by the student body. Miss Bass was appointed Editor-in- chief, and Mr. Shumway the faculty advisor. The associate members of the staff were: Victor Benton, business manager; Edward Tabb, associate editor; Winifred Sandifer, art editor; Nan Smith and Marion Caldwell, snap shot editors: Harold Sproul and Jack Forgy, sport editors; Maysel Archer, features; and Dorothy Martin, typist. It will be a feeling of satisfaction and relief when we at last place this book in the printers hands, for we have tried, and we hope not in vain, to express the senti- ment of the student body.

Several columns on the second page of the El Doradoan are devoted to College activities and the affairs of E.J.C. students. These columns contain the journalistic efforts; features, jokes, sports, poetry and what-not of the members of the staff. One of the triumphs of the chronicling of collegiate activities came with the issuing of the Scandal Sheet on April Fool ' s Day. Nothing was ever more scandalous than some of the deeds of students and faculty that were then brought to light. The one hope of the members of the staff, Maysel Archer, Victor Boellner, Clementine Bacon, Clarence Salisbury, Alice Sunbarger, and Rubye Dace, is that at some near date, the E.J.C. may issue a paper of its own.

With an efficient cabinet and an interested mem- bership many projects have been successfully carried out. The outstanding achievement cf the club was the sponsoring of the Kansas Junior College Young Women ' s Christian Association Conference. This conference which was the first one held in Kansas, was entirely the work of the El Dorado Club. At this conference Nan Smith was elected Corresponding Secretary cf the state organization. The club was equally successful in its other activities. The meetings were interesting and well attended. The ugh without dues, the organization has suc- ceeded financially. Dorothea McGlasson, Clementine Bacon, Harriet Reece, and Louise Sheets were Chairmen of committees, and Miss Ferna E. Wrestler and Mrs. Cornwell were sponsors. N.

At first the club met every two weeks, but later weekly meetings were held. The attendance being small, an extensive program was not followed. However, the Y did superintend a quiz booklet sale, and from the proceeds established a club treasury. Harold Colvin, state Y.M.C.A. secretary, spent an entire day with the local organization. Mr. Colvin held conferences with the cabinet, addressed a general assembly, and met with a special meeting of the club. Attendance at the Y grew small, and some talk of disbanding was prevalent, but whatever the destiny of this year ' s club, the movement has been started, and a better organization may be expected in future years. Beryl Hix was chairman of devotionals, and E. G. Dick was faculty advisor. Benton, Boellner, Salisbury, Adams, Dick, Poole. I ' age ii Girl ' s Glee Club President Louise Sheets Vice President Martorie Musick Secretary-Treasurer Dorothea McGlasson The Girl ' s Glee Club this year, 1928-1929, has been very successful. The club has appeared several times in public and has been congratulated on its excellent performances. One of the most interesting and spectacular appearances was the finale in the Dramatics Club Play, Snow White, in which the members of the Glee Club wore gorgeous 15th century costumes. The rehearsals of the Glee Club were attended by an average of fifteen to twenty girls. This is considered good because this is the first year that the Club has been organized. Members of the club who do not appear in the picture are: Marjorie Musick, Jear McNamara, Helen Nace, Ishbel Smith, Louise Sheets, Dorothy Welsh, Gertrude Flowers and Mary Bass. Reyer, Sunbarger, Houston, Sinclair, Archer, McGlasson, McCune, Bacon, McCall, Rich, Staadt, Hanson, Sayre, Palmer, Mason. Pagi 34 Gold Diggers President Louise Sheets Vice President Claribel Houston Secretary-Treasurer Gertrude Flowers Generally speaking women are — generally speaking, and this applies especially to the Gold Diggers of E.J.C. Their speaking wasn ' t so loud the first year of their organization although their digging was no less. The Gold Digging girls sent little personal notes of encouragement (and en- dearment) to the basketball boys, and even served lunches to the teams after the games. Refer to Louise for the exact success (?) of these gold digging devices. In spite of the dues, the girls came to meetings and planned more ways of pep- ping up the old school, and a nice time was had by all. May their speaking and dig- ging continue successful. Nearly every girl in ' school belonged to this organization. Page }S Forensics Forensics, the most classic of activities, have been very successful in E.J.C. this year. Early in February, a forensic team consisting of Rubye Dace, declamation, Victor Boellner, men ' s extempore, and Maysel Archer, women ' s extempore, went to Kansas City, Kansas, to represent E.J.C. in an invitation meet. The local repre- sentatives made a creditable showing in the various contests. Mr. Boellner was awarded first place in men ' s extempore speaking. Representatives were also sent to the regular Junior College Oration and Decla- mation contest at Arkansas City. Last year, E.J.C. won first place in declamation, and second place in oration in this contest, which was held here. Miss Cora Vaughn coached all forensics events other than debate. Debate in E.J.C. was in charge of Mr. Fayette Rowe. There was no conference title meet this year, but E.J.C. secured debates with Hutchinson and Arkansas City Junior Colleges. In addition to these, there were several no-decision practice debates with other schools. The members of the debate teams: affirmative: Winnie Montgomery and Edward Tabb; Negative: Mildred Mason and Clarence Salisbury. Archer, Boellner, Montgomery, R.Dace Salisbury, Tabb, Rowe, Mason.

Several non-member speakers appeared on these programs: talks by Miss Hoisington, Mr. Crooks, and Mr. Edwards being especially enjoyed. The Club ' s financial record was highly satisfactory; the year ' s income being $889.39, and the year ' s expenses $303-30. Amounts contributed to various school enterprises were: $200 to the Annual; $50 to City Teachers ' Association; $50 toward curtain for Senior High stage; $185.39 to Athletics; $100 for J.C. banquet in com- pliment to Sophomores.

Pal. v Page 38 Page 30 Dramatic ' s Club Plays The Dramatic ' s Club is proud of its stage-production record for 1928-29; some of the particular matters for pride being: that more than 2000 people saw Snow White ; that The Country Cousin was given with decided success as a lyceum number at Midian; that Rubye Dace designed such handsome costumes for Snow- White ; that every club member had an opportunity to appear in a part in a play or as some really important office of staging. Besides staging the two evening-long plays of the year, the club members gave a play for Kiwanis Guest Banquet ; a play for a Lions Club dinner; and three plays for assembly programs. Club members played important roles in several local performances not under the Club ' s direction: Miss Marjone Musick and Rubye Dace appearing in the two women ' s parts in Kiwanis production of Three Wise Fools which was directed by Miss Cora Vaughn, sponsor for Dramatic Club; Misses Mary Bass and Pauline Sayre having parts in the D.A.R. play Aunt Lucia ; and messrs Jack Connell, John Higgins, and Harold Sproul, and Misses Kate Lankford, Clementine Bacon, and Isabel Smith having parts in the Lion ' s Club Minstrel. The Country Cousin (fall-semester play) and Snow-White (spring-semester play) were both quite up to the high standard of staging and acting set by the club in its first year ' s activity. The Country Cousin received much praise for the high quality cf interpretation and acting; and Sncw-White was highly complimented for artistic costuming, stage-sets and lighting as well as for excellent acting. To the names given on the picture-page of the cast of Country Cousin should be added that of Miss Nan Smith who played Mrs. Howitt when the play was given at Midian. The cast for Snow-White was: Mary Bass ' .

Maids of Honor: Clementine Bacon, Dorothy Martin, Alice Sunbarger, Louise Sheets, Dorothea McGlasson, Luella McVay. Page 40 ATHLETIC: Athletics Come, do thou too, father and stranger, try thy skill in the sports, if haply thou art practised in any; and thou art like to have knowledge of games, for there is no greater glory for a man while yet he lives, than that which he achieves by hand and foot. In the days of Odysseus, a greater value, perhaps, was attached to physical prowess than is assigned to it today. (Although it is rumored that great athletes are treated with deference that would be appropriate for royalty, and are given contracts representing fat sums of money.) Well, be that as it may, Odysseus didn ' t go to sleep on the job, and allow advancing age to crumble his manly limbs. Not he. He kept in good physical trim, by taking a somewhat irregular daily dozen such as building rafts under the guidance of Calypso, who doubtless was a hard taskmistress, because she was a woman, and because she knew what she wanted; and by defending his good name as an athlete by off-handedly casting a stone that today would represent a good-sized mountain, farther than any other man could. And not only that, but the steadfast man of many counsels accomp- lished all this without much effort. Odysseus hadn ' t got to the point in athletic history when it had come to be considered bad manners to produce an alibi. He admitted that, as a runner, he had formerly been somewhat. However, so much sailing around in many waters, often without sufficient sustenance, had ' loosened his knees ' , so that his athletic prowess was diminished. The expression of such an alibi would today be frowned upon, and considered bad form. (If there could be bad form among athletes!) So it ' s evident to even the most stupid that fashions in athletics have made radical changes since the days when a man proved himself by bending an impossibly strong bow, and shooting a bronze shaft through a dozen axes. The discus, the hammer throw, the javelin, and the foot race have survived more or less intact, but the other modern sports and games which are a part of college life, decidedly are the offspring of athletic evolution. There ' s football. From the sidelines, (and from where else would a mere woman see the fray?) football seems to be a struggle to gain the most yardage with the fewest number of broken necks. But those who know say that it is infinitely more than that. It is a happy combination of skill and strength. Basket ball, which seems much more humane and equally interesting is a game which Odysseus would probably not recognize as a means of demonstrating that ' skill of hand and foot ' that was so dear to him. Track, tennis, and that incomparable game of golf, are all important spring sports, and are a big part of the athletic program in E.J.C. Odysseus would probably fall down and laugh mightily before so fragile a thing as a tennis racket as a means of proving athletic prowess. And what he would think of golf trousers — Well, the trusty imagination fails me! You will remember that Odysseus, with one blow of his mighty fist, caused the permanent disgrace of the beggar Irus, so that the bones were crushed, and straightway the red blood gushed up through his mouth, and with a moan he fell in the dust. Well, so much for that. To this humble observer, the whole business means one thing only. Men ain ' t what they used to be. (Thank goodness.) Post Script. Once more the copy reader let forth the fulness of his wrath. You always stop just before you arrive at the most interesting part of the whole story , he advised, not too kindly. You never have a ' follow up ' to this stuff you write. You could put in that quotation that follows the account of the games. ' And dear to us ever is the banquet and the harp and the changes of raiment and the warm bath, and sleep. ' See how you could have made a point of that? You could have con- nected it up with that stunt the Gold Diggers had of feeding the fellows after the games. You ' re practically hopeless. P. S. Perhaps he ' s right. e 42 mmmjmmgmm mgmSKm Coach CORNWELL Hersh is the popular coach of all E.J.C. athletics. He will be espec- ially remembered for his influence toward a finer idea cf sportsmanship. Captain Harsh Harsh was named as half-back on the second all-conference football team He was a verv able field general being a triple threat man, as well as one of the best sportsmen in the conference. Harsh could punt, pass or carry the ball with ejual efficiency and ease. First Row Dudley, Teter, Bean, Unger Second Row: Broyles, Williams, Smiley, Coach Cornwell, Smith, Hughes, Morris. Third Roiv: Lane, Hobbs, Harsh, Hasler, Moss, Sproul Page 41 Carroll Hughes Carroll was an efficient guard, who was noted, par- ticularly, for outsmarting his opponents. This was his second year. Gale Pug Moss Moss was an erstwhile full back. He was most valuable on both the defense and the offense. This was Moss ' s second vear. Harold Prunes Sproul Prunes was a fast and efficient end. He will be greatly missed next year when football season starts. r- O H H, ARRY rlASLER Harry as guard was one of the main stays of the team. Although he sustained serious injuries, he was plucky enough to come back for the last games. P gt 4t Garland Blue Howard Howard was a very able guard. He was extremely valuable on the defense. This was Howard ' s second year in football. Harry Solomon-Levi Williams Harry was the regular quarter during the last part of the season. This position w«s earned because of his fight . This vear was Harry ' s second in foot- ball. Cleo Mush Bradley Mush was a much needed cog in the El Dorado football machine. He was kept out part of the season because of an injured hand. This was Cleo ' s second year at E.J.C. Roscoe Beane Roscoe was a regular tackle during the last part of the season. This was a real accomplishment, as Roscoe had never played any football until this year. He will be a valuable man next vear. Page 4S Vs EvERETTE SPIZZER LaNE Spizzer was a fast end. His was an important part in the offensive machine — being particularly efficient at snagging passes. This year was Spiz- zers second in football. Leon Broyles Leon was an able guard, and he will be most val- uable next year. Eldon Teter Eldon was a powerful tackle. He has another year in E.J.C. and we expect big things from him. i X3 Haden Hobbs Hobbs thrilled the spectators many times with his spectacular end runs. Hobbs will be another valuable man next year. Page 46 Basketball Squad The Basketball team was strengthened by several of last year ' s High School stars plus last year ' s successful College freshmen. The team was noted for its speed and its never-say-die spirit. A fairly successful season resulted from co- operation and hard work of the coach and every member of the team It is worthy of note that there were no individual stars on the team, but rather the season was made successful by team work. The first half of the season was disheartening for seveal games were lost by margins of three of four points. After a trip to the eastern part of the state the team at last hit its natural stride and won the majority of its remaining games. Several home games were excellent exhibitions of basket ball. Victories over teams which had defeated us by a few points earlier in jhe season left the team and college with a feeling of pride and satisfaction. Coach Cornwell, Williams, Teter, Wall. Morris, Teter, Smiley, Silor, Adams, Poole, Hasler, Harsh, Fuhrman, Captain Unger, Lane. Page 47 Glen Harsh Harsh was a fast forward, being especially adept at dribbling under the basket. Lloyd Red Adams Red De Bernardi ' s only rival. Nuf sed. Red was our center. Captain Sam Unger Sam was a guard. They fed ' em to Sam when he was hot and he was hot most of the time. EVERETTE SPIZZER LaNE It took an expert accountant to keep track of Spizzers points. He was an excellent floor man. rvX3 Harry Fuhrman Harry shared with Adams the position of center. He was espec- ially efficient on the offense. Page 48 Albert Cy Silor After the first semester the team was enriched by the presence cf Silor, a competent scorer. Harry Hasler Harry was a guard especially adept at solving the opponents offense. William Bill ' Poole Poole played a part of the season as center and a part as an able forward. Clarence Morris Clarence played all positions with equal ease. He could be counted upon as a scorer as well as being a good defensive man. Page 49 Spring Sports TENNIS This year for the first time E.J C. is to have a tennis team. Three matches have already been arranged. The girls team will he composed of Dorothy Martin. Competition for the boys ' places is keen and the final matches have not been played. GOLF E.J.C. also intends to enter a golf team in this year ' s Junior college contest. Our representatives have not yet been chosen. TRACK The Grizzly Growl goes to print so early in the spring, it is almost impossible to have the track season for the present year reviewed. We are sure, however, that the squad will perform nobly and bring to El Dorado a train-load of cups, and medals. There are many track stars to be lost this year through graduation, and their absence will be greatly felt in years to come. The 1929 team placed third in both the Chiloco and Hutchinson meets.

Adams Page so FEATURE Features But never yet have mine eyes beheld any such a man of heart as was Odysseus; such another deed as he wrought and dared in his hardiness even in the shapen horse, wherein sat all we chiefs of the Argives, bearing to the Trojans death and doom. When we petitioned ye editor to know of what we should write on the back of the division page for features, she said, after duly considering the matter, Oh, anything, just so it ' s clever. Just so it ' s clever. Not a bad assignment, after all. (In fact, I know no better way to test the training one gets out of the advertisements which say How I Developed Self Confidence in Two Lessons, after reading Doctor X ' s book, Believe Ye Each In His Own Powers. ) Just so it ' s clever. Well, the art editor is responsible for this divine inspiration. She made a picture of the shapen horse on the reverse side of this page. It ' s a fact, that after considering and weighing everything that Odysseus person did, the smartest thing he ever accomplished always turns out to be that wooden horse. (After that cute stunt did its work of getting the wily Argives inside the walls of Troy, the song Horses, Horses, was written by an appreciative Greek). But you couldn ' t fool Helen. She knew all the time that nobody but Odysseus could have ever thought up such a scheme, but she failed to let the Trojans in on the secret, because she was probably on the point of wanting to be taken home again anyway. There are (or were) women who would get tired of men — even men like Paris in the course of ten years. Once again, we must admit that Helen wasn ' t so dumb. She knew her way about, and could get what and where she wanted, even if she did live before the days of stage-coaches and other types of modern perambulators. Although Odysseus gets priority in the contest of thinking up good things to do, he isn ' t the only person like that who has graced the pages of Homer and other minor historians. Here in E.J.C. we have a few, whose handiwork is dis- played for your pleasure on the following few pages. Caldwell and Smith, who had the responsibility of lining up willing and unwilling subjects to have their pictures taken for the snapshot section, had no small experience in the exercise of devices. Their chef d ' ouvre is spread out for the world to admire and see. (Caldwell opines that if anybody thinks it ' s easy to get people to smile when they are looking at him, they ' re dead wrong). Can ' t say I envy these two. They will be blamed for the presence of some pic- tures and for the absence of some others. They will have a worse ogre than my copy reader to combat. P.S. Having exhausted all the scathing remarks in his not too limited repertoire the copy reader only favored us this time with a cynical smile. Maybe he was glad that this was the last of this stuff. When Wm. Shakespeare wrote, even before the Gay Nineties, that there is consent in a smile he was right. I ' ve consented to let you do this one over, said the copy reader, as I laid my final offering on his insatiable altar. (Of course I refused. It is better to refuse the first time, then there won ' t be so many encores.) Smiling a smile as blue as a Maxfield Parrish picture, he said, If you were working on a salary, I ' d fire you. P. S. And that, as Odysseus said to Penelope after slaying the last of the wooers and a few lazy women for good measure, is that. Page 52 1. Rah-rah and how! 2. Rabbit, You bet you. 3- Lindy. 4.

The scandal sheet was published today. A few jealous individuals were left out of the juicy rolling under the tongue of the scandalous morsels (But not me!) April 2. Spring winds spoil co-ed complexions, co-ed equilibrium, and co-ed disposi- tions, all at the same time. Some of the more stoic ones bear the ordeal firmly rooted. April 9. First debate of the season. Hutchinson and E.J.C. Decision given to the visitors, but everybody admitted that it was a first class gab-fest. Debate has its strong points, just as any other business has. Winnie Montgomery recommends it as a sure and safe method by which to reduce. Debate is hereby adopted by the calendar editor. April iy. Tennis! Tennis! And other pet words used by the professional bally-hooers. Mr. Walker makes a final appeal for the tennis tournament. Big chance for those who, unlike me, have ascended from the love-game class. April. 19. A decidedly big day all around. In the first place, The Trysting Peace, a play, was prsented by some students from the public speaking class. Moral: Boys don ' t love a widow. There is always a fiance concealed behind the screen. April 22. Here is a dead give-away for us. The last of the calendar copy is due today. Any further events covered by this department will be in the nature of a clairvoyant stunt. (Supplemented by some facts from the calendar cf the Dean and s re dope picked up fro n other reliable sources.) Big tennis tournament begins tomorrow. April 25. Try-outs for the .tate declamation and oratory contest. Looks like a real proposition now. Everybody has been measured for his cap and gown, and the order has been duly dispatched. May }. Girl ' s sextet and some other efficient noise makers do the various high schools in the county in the interest of E.J.C. They (the girls making the noise) had a good time.

Speed, sisters, Speed! That ' s the American watchword now! May 27 Have just discovered what a weak-end really is. Mine refused to embrace everything I tried to force into it the last two days. As Shelley said, It ' s a great life if you don ' t week-end. May 28, and the next two days. Cramming bees are popular. The hall is full of them. As W. Shakespeare might have said, Yon students have a lean and anxious look. They think too much, such work is dangerous. Another quotation, just as good, and from a thinker just as reliable: And I noticed that in their anxiety, they knew not wh ich way to turn, and it is easy to discern the cause thereof. May $1. Commencement. Caps and Gowns. Everybody is in full regalia. Well, as I was saying a few paragraphs ago, the war ' s over.
