The town of Niantic ought to establish a home for lyoung men of New London so that they would not Lto walk into New London in the fog, rain and mud (bout one o’clock in the morning. It sure is a relief that the Freshmen have stopped for bort time anyway those most intricate and fascinating clboard games. Louis Round has a rival this year. Do you know o he is ? Well it won’t take long to guess. Berger is acquiring some distinguished habits even t1 patting the back of his head. Is Chidsey one of the seven world wonders ? H seems to think so. Have you found out who is THE SQUEALER ? SPRING! ...OR... OH BREWSTER! WHERE IS THY NECK?? The sun was rising- in the west, As it slowly sank from sight. The birdies were crowing lustily, And the moon was shining bright. The snakes were flying thru the air, Cows flapped each feathery wing, And the dried up brook as it ran along, Merrily chortled, “ Spring!” Upon the hills high topmost peak, Down in the canyon drear, A wooden house all made of brick, To us now doth appear. The dog purred on the green ridge pole, And the goats swung in the swing The tigers ba-a-ad in the village street And all things dumb cried, “ Spring! ” Night soon came on, the peaceful scene Was bathed in rays of gold The white snow fell, and every flake Ecstatically rolled The shooting stars delirious stood And with a calm “ Bing! Bing! ” They swallowed up the earth, roared, “ ’Tis Spring! ’Tis Spring! ’Tis Spring!” — SCHAP. There was a young lady from Guam, Who said, “ Now the sea is so caum, I will sing for a lark.” But she met with a shark We will now sing the 99th psuam. Scrap

Exams are like the poor — we have them ays with us. — The Tripod. The Kiss. “ But “No.” “Just” — “No.” “Please — “No — ” “ Henry, why didn’t you shave ? ” If a fellow tries to kiss a woman and gets ay with it, he’s a man ; if he tries and esn’t get away with it, he’s a brute ; if he esn’t try to kiss her, but would get away ih it if he tried, he’s a coward ; and if he isn’t try to kiss her and wouldn’t get ay with it if he did, he’s a wise man. COMPOSITION ON A PAIR OF PANT Pants are made for men and not women. Women are made for men and n for pants. When a man pants for a woma and a woman pants for a man, they are pair of pants. Some pants don’t last. Pai are like molasses — they are thinner in 1 weather and thicker in cold weather. M are often mistaken in pants ; such mistafc are breeches of promise. There has be much discussion whether pants is singular plural. Seems to us when men wear pai it is plural, and when they don’t wear a it is singular. Men go on a tear in th pants, and it is all right; when the pants on a tear it is all wrong. If you want make pants last, make the coat first. Brownie, A oast Here’s to the Shorthand Shark, He’s always lucky if he ever gets a mark, He cribs all his algebra, flunks in his Geom, Steals all his theme paper ; never comes to harm, If he ever goes into business ; I pity his firm, Why he’s lower down than any worm! He lives at Winthrop Neck, is always in trouble, He’s so hard he chews soap and spits out bubbles, His feet bulge out, his chest caves in, He’s a pretty poor stick for the shape he’s in, So here’s to the Shorthand Shark, But I’d hate to meet him in the dark. A red automobile and a chicken vocalist horn will make a man drunk faster than whiskey.
