BULKELEY NEWS 13 Benvenuti more plainly showed that he holds the hand and the foot to mean the same thing when he told the Senior Latin Class that one of the famous characters of Vergil repressed his voice with his foot. We all hope he got his foot out of his throat in safety. What kind of Literature does Douglass read? He said while translating French the other day—“You are my father, babbled she.” Babble, babble, babble, babble, Douglass has surely lost his padal. Lucy successfully itched glass the other day. Hollandersky says that the Rhine was seventy foots wide. Weinraub either has a very good memory or he loves work. He recently inquired if it was necessary that we memorize Addison’s Coverly Papers. A member of the Senior Class a few days ago enlightened his classmates by the following logical statement :—“ Two lines intersect where they join.’’ The “ News ’’ in behalf of the members of Bulkeley School wishes to express its sincere sympathy with our teacher P'rau Moll and our fellow schoolmate Edward Geary in their late bereavements. 771E are glad to acknowledge the following exchanges : “ The Argus,” “ S. H. S. Argus,” “ The Academy Journal,” ‘‘The Academy Scholium,” “The Brown Herald,” “Biograph,” “ Comet,” “ Chronicle,” “ The Easterner,” “ Irvon-iati,” “ The Legenda,” “ Purple and White,” “ The Red and Blue,” “King School Review,” “The Trinity Tripod,” ' Tripod,” “ Yale Alumni Weekly,” “ Senior.”

12 BULKELEY NEWS O’Neill’s not the only one who knows How Caesar dealt with his foes ; For now one Cohen comes forth to say That, “ Infantry in horns,” did stay, During the carnage of battle days. No doubt dear friends you’ve often heard That Angels fly just like the birds; But Weinraub tells something just as grand, When he says “The Angel winked with his hand.” Seniors, Middlers, Juniors, all Weinraub found something new last fall And if he’s questioned he won’t mind, To show you his frog with its tail behind. Strange things are said, Strange things are wrote, But one of the strangest is this I quote : “ John Winthrop was six inches tall.” (Berman ’io) Many lads whom I might name Have followed after a sweetheart’s train. But Gates is the only one as yet Who, when he sees a sweet girl-let, Will sing out with a noble ring She indeed is a cherubim. Some say Koran’s name is John Others are sure it is John Foran, But the latest answer to the myth, Is the sweet-sweet name of Elizabeth. If you see Benvenuti kicking a football with his hand, or throwing a baseball with his foot, don’t be astonished, for only the other day he informed his classmates that the hand and the foot were the same. Buck translating Latin—“ The pine tree steers him.” This is a great improvement on following your nose.

14 BULKELEY NEWS “ The Argus ” gives a good account of “ Shipwrecks and Their Causes.” The story called “ Une Romance de L’ Lude ” starts well, but it would have been better to have given a little more. The‘‘S. H. S. Argus”—The one who wrote ‘‘College and other yells—Their Origin ” must have worked to get the yells together, but we fail to find the origin of them. In 11 The Academy Journal ” the story “ The Automobile as a Money Maker ” is a very amusing story and is a credit to the author. “ The Academy Scholium ”—In the piece entitled ‘‘Heron Hunting” the I’s were so noticeable that we took the trouble to count them. There are no less than forty-six. We also find that the ‘‘ Bulkeley News ” is not mentioned in your exchange column. “Brown Herald” and “Trinity Tripod” are beyond criticism. The “Biograph”—We are very glad to welcome you among our exchanges. You have a very neat paper. It could not be printed better by professionals. The “ Comet ”—It seems strange to us that you are playing baseball as the candidates for our team have not as yet been called out. It also appears that you have a different style of basket ball. Our positions are : forwards 2, center 1, guards 2. The “ Chronicle ”—Your cover is very attractive. We don’t find “ Bulkeley News ” mentioned among your exchanges. “ The Easterner ” has a fine collection of exchange jokes and poems. The “ Irvonian ” has a very attractive cover. We think you neglect the best part of your paper by having so little space devoted to exchanges. The “ Purple and White ” is the best of all our exchanges this month. We like your new cover much better than the old one.
