On Etiquette Sir Thomas Cat, head of the Etiquette Department of Cat College, in the capital of Cat- land, was hunting for his din- ner. Besides writing a book call- ed, The Universal Etiquette for Educated Cats , he was al- so finding out the proper way to catch birds. Lord James Sparrow, who is one of the noted wits in the realms of the great Empire, otherwise known as Bird- landn, was seeking his daily diet by pecking his beak into the earth for worms. So busy was he at his occupation he never noticed Sir Thomas Cat. Sir Thomas gave one glance at Lord James and knew here was the place to catch a bird with manners. And we all know that is -the proper thing to do. Waving his tail politely, of course, he advanced with a slow and graceful manner, which is very becoming to a cat of his high rank, towards the great wit Lord james Sparrow. A tense moment with a polite, ever so polite movement, Sir Thomas leaped and Lord james was embedded between two claws of the conspiring fe- line. Evidently his mighty wit soon came into play. He was figuring out a scheme when a thought struck him that this was Sir Thomas, the expert on Car Etiquette. No gentl-eman would eat me before he washed his face, explained the honorable Sir james Sparrow. These words greatly insulted the great and all-powerful king of Cat Eti- quette, Sir Thomas Cat, E. M. CEtiquette Masterj to the very bone itself. Releasing his hold Qjust one second mind youl he proceed- ed to perform his daily and very frequent bath. ln this in- stant Sir James Sparrow shot for the tree like a flash of light- ning. A page from The Univer- sal Etiquette for Educated Cat , by Sir Thomas Cat, E. M., will explain his reaction. XVhen a cat has caught a bird, mouse, or any other eat- able animal, he should proceed with his meal at once and per- form his bath after the repast is devoured. ---Loomis Ayres '40.

Reminiscences of Sneak Day I remember it was at approxi- mately at 4 -a. m., Tuesday, May 18, that twenty gaily spirited Sen- iors started for a beautiful spot at the foot of Mt. Meeker. The day of days had arrived. We stealthily left our homes, crept cautiousfy to the school cam-pus and hastily stole -in-to the awaiting cars which promptly left for the good old hills. We took the South St. Vrain h'ghway and arrived there around 8:30, hungry 'but happy. Aft-er breakfast we assembled for a hike. This hike took us up in the moun- tains where we ate a very hearty dinner. After dinner we climbed until -albout four o'clock. After this we were right ready for a hearty weinie fry. They ne- ver tasted better! But by this time we were completely exhausted. With one eye shut we boarded our cars and started oi for home- sweet-home. Baseball St. Anthony's, under the sponsorship of the Knights of Columbus, has entered the Jun- ior Circuit of the softball con- ference conducted annually at the local Fair grounds. Six strong teams comprise the lea- gue. St. Anthony's will rely principally on the performance of lsidore Stang, who will bear the brunt of the hurling duties.

Take My Advice Cramming for examination seems to me a waste of time. After all, the examinations are meant as a test on the sub- ject already covered and if the student doesn't know it then he must not have 'been paying attention when the matter was discussed. The examination can no more than cover what know- ledge the student has already learned and if he studied in the first place he has nothing to fear. ln the second place, cram- ming is likely to cause the whole thing to be jum'bled up in his mind, and he will not pass after all. Therefore, time immediate- ly before exams should be spent resting -the mind and re- viewing the subject lightly ra- ther than cramming the Whole thing. -One Who Knows.
