One of our chemistry students, Robert Masterman, has worked out this experi- ment-Potassium iodide and sulphur un- der slight pressure give an exceedingly in- teresting result as follows: KI plus 2S equals KISS. This experiment is dangerous as the above results may not be accomplished, and instead the reaction be very violent. Therefore this experiment should be at- tempted only in the absence of light where few Cpreferably twoj are present. but work from morn till night. R. Rowe: 4' How long have you been at it P ,Y H.

30 THE PHILLIPIAN There 's no trouble, Mom, was the quick reply. K' You know yourself things are always marked down after the holi- days. Cows forget they were calves once.- S 0 ph011zo1'es. Mr. Masterman fto Robertj: Did you have -the car out last night? Robert: Yes, Dad, I took some of the boys for a run round. Mr. M.: 'K Well, tell them I've found two of their lip-sticks. In the seethe of leap year fancies, This one rises to the top- Does the girl who pops the question Have to go and question Pop? THE VVAY THEY KISS IN MAINE THE Farmington girl bows her stately head, And fixes her stylish lips In a firm, hard way, and lets them go In spasmodic little snips. The Weld girl removeth her specks, And freezeth her face with a smile, And she sticks out her lips like an open book, And cheweth her gum meanwhile. The Kinglield girl says never a word, And you 'd think she was rather tame, With her practical view of the matter in hand, But she gets there just the same. The Rangeley girl, the pride of the world, In her clinging and soulful Way, Absorbs it all in a yearnful yearn, As big as a bale of hay. The Wilton girl gets a grip on herself, As she carefully takes off her hat, Then she grabs up the prize in a frenzied way, Like a terrier shaking a rat. The Strong girl, so gentle and sweet, Lets her lips meet the coming kiss With a rapturous warmth, and the youthful soul Floats away on a sea of bliss. We have sung you a song of the girls who kiss, And it sets one's brain in a whirl, But to reach the height of earthly bliss You must kiss a PHILLIPS girl. With your arms 'round her waist, her face up- turned, In a sweetly confiding way, You care not a cent for the whole wide world, Though the winds through your whiskers play. And closer together your lips you draw, Till they meet in a rapturous glow, And the small boy hidden behind the fence Cries, Gallagher, let her go! Xffsf kd? .-1 9 W XJ
