EULOGY OF A GRAB Upon a more or less satisfactory completion of hi, I find that I am as it were, a gentleman of parts. A long grind, you say, to which the reply is yes. But giving a glance at the results, there can be no doubt as to the merit of that golden store of knowledge that is now mine. Following we have an itemized list of my accomplishments and certain valuable things which I, with that fine sense of generosity which I am said to possess, pass on to posterity : Item: I have mastered the art of sleeping with delicacy, that is to say, noiselessly. This will doubtless be of use to me in college or, if I should get married. Item: Mine is now a lightening brain. When accosted, however unexpectedh by the attendance teacher, I am able, without the flicker of an eyelid, to produce an iron-clad alibi. Doubtless will be useful to me should I ever become harrassed by creditors. Item: A smiling face, I have found, is valuable in procuring a gratifying mark, even if the instructor ' s expression is such that one jars his finer sensibilities by doing so. (Some day I might have to get a job, so this may be of assistance). Item: I can play the Prisoner ' s Song on the saxophone. Invaluable in collect- ing such mementos as old shoes, brickbats and defunct cats hurled by irate sufferers. Item: A visit to the Dean ' s oflice may be appropriately prefixed with some tact- ful remark such as Nice weather we ' re having. Helpful, sometimes, in putting the gentleman in good humor. Item: During the lunch period now so bountifully afforded us, I have learned that one can eat a fairish-sized lunch by hurrying. Of use to the person who has five minutes in which to take a shower, dress, eat breakfast and catch a train. Item: Through sad experience one finds that many persons are, shall I say a trifle criminally inclined. Hence, dear reader, do not try to pilfer for print any of the above fertile ideas. They are copyrighted. THE BLUSHING GRADUATE or CREDIT SHY Of all sad words, I ' ll say it, men. The saddest are these, It might have been! We might have plugged on math or trig, Gee, now that would go over big! Tho ' grammar I did always hate I iL ' uh I ' d plugged on English VIII! And physics, too, and chemistry, I wish I knew some history ! I iv ' nh, I unsh — but what ' s the use? We can ' t go back, there ' s no excuse. If when we blush, they ask For why? We tell them we are credit-shy ! Ninety-ttuo

No, not me Patiently she ' ll wait for her fate Be mine dear. she would jeer A sensational hit — -he was it Never tired, never fired It isn ' t right to start a fight I won ' t — you will — he ' s talking still ' Twas leap year — he was no seer In love successful: in business effectual A rather green tennis fiend His liny wife ruled his life Time steadily rolls and all unfolds Lights! Although meek he can speak They shun the light if it ' s too bright In art he ' ll play a part Played out of season — -that ' s the reason Pity her more: he ' s a bore Clothes above all, I love He used a Dully Dimpler All said the same: I ' ll get thai dame Marriaee. my dear, won ' t do with a career The burden of fame is signing your name Used all her pep to get a rep Her first affair with a man, there! Male styles are the craze with girls these days Not a Don would suit this one She retorts, I type sports Sorry folks.
