BUEKELEY NEWS 17 to the firer. This was too much for Dickson. He dropped the unfaithful firearm—scrambled down the back stairs, and ran out of the house. Brown watched, much to his delight, the fleeing form of the “Invincible Courage’ ’ disappear below the summit of the hill. —Charles D. Wolverton '20, It’s Pathetic ( That's where the humor comes in.) To end my worldly miseries, Did I think to do one day; I bought a rope and pistol, Which should have been O. K. I got the rope all ready, Stood on a chair up high. Clutched the pistol in my hand, And then I tried to die. I stood there for a moment, And thought an awful lot; I thought of down below me, And I thought ’twould be too hot. I therefore dropped the pistol, And the rope I loosed with haste; Just think my patient readers, All this had gone to waste. But if my next report card, Is still red, white and blue; My first attempt at suicide, I will again renew. J. Greenes '20

Sahara will lose its prestige by many thousands of square miles after July 1st. The Average Students’ Schedule. Mon: — (dark indigo) Tues:—Few wavering signs of life. Wed:—There—at least. Thurs:—The recurring relapse. Fri:—Crepe-hangers busy. All’s well that sounds swell.—Spearshakes. Think it over.
