' I Campus Cops Cooperate Three hundred and seventy-two words to be written on nothing but earth, Egbert informs himself. There just isn't any justice left in this land of the free. Not that I don't want to give those fellows that take care of our campus, lawns, shrubbery, and buildings all the credit due them, but I guess I am just getting lazy on the job. Well, since I don't know enough about the ground patrol to write so many words about it, I guess I'll just go downstairs and find some young fellow on duty. Following his decision to obtain an interview, Egbert walks down the Fifth Building fire escape, crosses in front of the stand, and in due time arrives directly in front of the Eighth Building. But much to the scribe's concern there is no one who looks very authoritive in sight on the campus, although just across the lawfn stands a young man talking to a fellow stu- dent who might be a part of the ground patrol. So Egbert, with the absent mindedness very characteristic of a jour- nalist, crosses the nice green lawn. Right in the midst of his trespassing a loud voice demands, What in the name of common sense are you doing on that grass! Don't you know better than to walk across the lawns? You are just the person I'm looking for! 7' Egbert cries, I am a reporter from the Coyote Journal, and I want you to inform me of the activities of the ground workers and your co-workers, the hall patrol. This young man, who by the way, has always desired to be an orator begins, You may tell my dear public, the students of P.U.H.S., that we are to them what one would imagine a nightmare to be. When they accidently, or on purpose, amble across the grass We say, 'Off the grass, you. Say, you, can't you hear?' And to those young men and women who just haven't enough ambition to walk to a trash can to relieve themselves of papers, we quietly tell them to pick up the papers, or we will hand them a few demerits. Of course the demerits are used as a threat in rnost cases. Occasionally, however, some student oversteps the bounds of our goodwill and commits an offense once too often. We warn students a number of times successively about keeping off the grass. We make them pick up their trash papers several times. Our patience finally wears out, and then we find it necessary to turn in the offender's name to the Board of Control. ' Our fellowmen, the hall duty boys, have about the same trouble, with the added worry of keeping students out of the buildings during the lunch periods. 32

A L I B I D E T E C T Q R S The ever alert registrars checking excuses on return and tardy slips. When Intelleetuczls Meet Having once been a member of the club about which he is next to write a story, Egbert finds it unnecessary to hunt up any of the sponsors. For once he knows the facts from experience. It's been two years since he was an active mem- ber of the Parnassus Club, but during the past two years he has not lost interest in it. One of his most pleasant memories of club activities is of the annual banquet which the Hiram Club gives the members, and he suddenly remembers that this year's luncheon is scheduled for the near future. QAs a little feature effect for his next story, Egbert would like to include the luncheon scene at the Masoiiic Templej. The day arrives, but Egbert's name is not on the list of fourth hour students to be dismissed, so he realizes the impossibility of attending the luncheon. From a friend, however, he learns that the Hiram Club men treated the Parnassus guests as usual and delivered many eulogies on their fine spirit and on the importance of maintaining good scholastic marks throughout their school careers. The president of Parnassus, a girl this year for the first time, returns their welcoming speeches with equal spirit. An entertaining program is given by the Parnassus Club members and they return to school in time for the sixth period. Fourteen semester grade points are necessary before a student can file a membership card, and Egbert finds himself incapable of keeping up with the highly intelligent students who belong year after year. Seniors who have been members two-thirds of their high school time receive a special seal on their diploma, and their names are starred on the commencement program as a reward for their consistent good work.
