QA Word From the Senior Crab HE rallies which have been held in this institution of learning are a crimeg an awful example of general Hpeplousnessf' In the hrst place, why not elect a yell-leader at the beginning of every term, instead of leaving the calling of rallies to the captain of the ping-pong team, or the president of the sewing circle, who contents himself with ringing the bell at 12:30 and calmly announcing that there will be a rally on the front steps. Half a dozen fellows and about eleven girls gather around and the rally finally begins. Five minutes are spent trying to get somebody to lead a few yells. Then the speeches begin. About eleven hockey games are going on all around and the audiences attention seems divided between these attractions and the entertainment of the freshman comedian who is making a name for himself by shooting paper wads at the girls and making witty remarks about the speakers. Some carpenters upstairs in the new building drop some lumber. Both of the audience laugh, and the orator gets fussedg his retreat is covered by the yell leader who comes out and gives six for the University High medicine ball team, accompanied by a wild whirling of his arms. After he has yelled himself hoarse, the next speaker begins. The bell rings in the middle of his speech and the rally is over. On the way upstairs this enthusiastic dialogue is heard: Some pep at the rally this noon, eh? Sure, heard all about it. Let's get in and do something about this sort of thing. There must be some solution. 'What about having a rally committee appointed whose duty shall be to see that the rallies are carried out with the enthusiasm and jazz which should accompany such a proceeding? lf it can,t be done as some say, let's cut them out. But anything rather than these farcical attempts to get up pep. llllliliilui ilf Y ,aa fd! i:Iilll yum' lm l l i i J A gg g M ...... ..,. --1 ff., A '- .:::'v: ' 3. .-ft 1? -2 T i'i4illilllnll!ll5W.,, f fi t'17ffWllW , is Il .9 1, 'ff:t::l -J - Cx ' -iris! fl-,M Ni 1 jg?
