SIESTA DE LOS BOZOS September 17, 1926 Cast away your knitted brow and all that countenances seriousness, for this is the one gala carefree day of the fall semester. The faculty have forgotten their dignity and join the students in two brief hours of festival celebration and welcoming. Picture Mr. Edwards in the quad and Dean Dimmick on the balcony of our famous old tower doing 3 Romeo and Juliet. Mr. Newby has forsaken his German and Spanish callings to dance the fandango in the role of court jester. I181

TRADITIONAL JOLLY-UP Heralds Fall Term Karl Hazeltine disguises himself as a bear in order that he may study nature the more closely while Mr. IVIcDonald does his daily dozen by acting as Karlis trainer. President Minssen, slave driver that he is, muses on the whys and wherefores of Dean Knollinis dance of the seven veils. To climax the Siesta, Mr. Newby, by a graceful gesture of his foot, broke a great sack of peanuts. A mad scramble ensued, and the event closed with a peanut for every mouth. I191
