ON PARLE ANGLAIS E E MARGARET OSWALD, '34 Oh, how often have we heard the lament of the studentg how difficult is the process of learning a foreign language, of enriching our capacities in another tongue. True, it is an achievement to master the beautiful French, but, have you stopped to consider the obsta- cles that would trip Pierre Louis de Bergerac in an attempt to learn our own mother tongue, not in a school in sunny France, but even in our own dear country? Let us localize a bit more, New York City. Pierre has friends in the city who obligingly take him to witness our national pastime at the Yankee Stadium. Come on, you old Bambino, sock 'at apple on the nose! Poor Pierre. Heretofore, to his limited knowledge, an apple was a fruit, to be eaten, and as for a nose-surely the man was joking! - Pierre's friends take him to a prize fight. Yah, Yah, watch the big palooka take a nose-dive! c'mon, sock the big apple on the button! Pierre is now engulfed in a fog. Palooka? Nose-dive? Apple? Mon Dieu, the apple now has a button! Pierre's friends know he'll enjoy the movies. What's playing? Paul Muni in Scarface ? Fine, a four-star picture. Now listen, Mug, yer in a tight spot,l see? Here's a cuppla grand, and snow AMSCRAYP' Befuddled, enveloped in uncertainty, Pierre is shooed off to a party at which he meets the intelligentsia. Having such a keen discemment of life, it is necessary that their sorrows be drowned, or at least thoroughly doused in the native spirits of joy. Their lan- guage is quite unintelligible even to Pierre's friends. It is seven o'clock the next evening, or any evening, and Pierre seeks enlightenment in the radio. Ahwah, awah, dis year population propolition sho am intri- cated. First, dey asks you youh senses. Den dey checks and double checks and re-double checks youh. Man, ah's regustedl Poor Pierre! 4 SNOWFLAKES They are all bits of elfin laughter Which floated from their world to ours, . But they froze when they reached our colder air Into beautiful, fragile flowers. Annette Lucille Basquin, '34 Pae22 'THE SENIOR DOME

The Office of Wees Lamb, an attomey. Yes, the attorney is in. What is your business with him? I want a will drawn up. - Come right this way into the office. Thank you. Good afternoon, Mr. Attorney, I should like you to draw up my last will and testament. Are you expecting to pass out soon? Before the end of January, I'm told, unless a large dose of Re- gents is able to keep me here longer. I doubt it: at any rate, you must prepare yourself to go. Err, yes. I have a few things for my friends and teachers to re- member me by when I'm gone, although I'll need a lot for cere- monies at the end. This is about the first time I ever really thought, err- about leaving this life and I don't know where to Start. How about Miss Read-she's been close to you all through your suffering, hasn't she? Sure thing. She's helped in many a tight pinch. Give her a pile of extra units and no need for them. She'1l enjoy trying to juggle them around nights. They will be a good substitute for the jig-saw puzzles she has had these last four years. Who is next on your list? i Miss Leete. Leave her a framed blue card. A valuable possession indeed. Have you any more valuable securities? Some stocks in the Hershey Company: they go to Mr. .I-Iopkins. I-Iadn't you better leave Dr. Schmidt a pass to Mr. Hopkin's room? By all means. I have a rare treasure for Miss Feise too. To her goes a class of seniors who know the Standard Englishgheading. VVhat are you going to do with those volumes of classic myths? Give them to Miss Vorhees, and to Mrs. Walter give several junior Latin clubs to have parties for. ' . You're not going to forget Miss Barber, are you? I certainly am not. Give her some good thinkers who are also good speakers-not a bad s in the lot. What does the rest of the Speech Department get? Miss Konigsberg, a new 1928 Chevroletg and the whole depart- ment, the use of Hazen Hall whenever they want it. You haven't disposed of your farm in Missouri yet. , . My I. . Page 24 ' THE SENIOR DOME
