NEW CHEE THE start of this college year saw the installation of a new Italian Chef in the college kitchen. He is Mr. Victor Manzulla, formerly ot the Kellogg Health Foundation of Battle Creek and chef for many large hotels throughout the state. Fortunate in securing Vic, his coming also meant com- plete revolution in the equipment of the kitchen. Everything was painted white, a roomsize iceless refrigerator was in- stalled, new ranges, new pie ovens, elec- tric-gas toasters, modern steamers, potato mashers, new steamstables, coffee vaculat- ors, modern dumb waiters, new dishes and many other additions came to the down- stairs kitchens. Vic added training tables and special rooms in the basement for the varsity players and the swipes. Also new to the student body was the manner in which Vic responded to requests for ban- quets, birthday parties, and other special occasions. Never was anyone refused and always the event turned out better than had been anticipated. of n I l u In I ll 11: 1111111111 I -11: nn-4.

'27 COMES TO LIFE l'm a dementia-precox- At least, the teachers say. I never tax my intellect, l'd rather swing and sway, I procrastinate my studies- Who cares what old Bill Shakespeare wrote, Or who was General Howe? They say my mind is retrograde, But I know it's not such- 'Cause I know how to deal a hand That's better than a flush They think that I'm not sine que non, And that I fabricate- Because the profs will not accept The reasons why I'm late. The fulgent ones can laugh at me, And say my head's fabaceous, The only reason they get marks Is 'cause they're so loquacious. Believe me, friend, I am not dumb- Perhaps I am a scud - Some day I'll be a great big oak, But now I'm just a bud. -By Mr. Anonymity O ODE TO A LAMP POST The dog, you know, is man's best friend And always I'll admire The clever way he puts you out Whenever you're on fire. -Sieg 0 ODE TO A BACKLESS GOWN You always draw adoring looks When you are worn, I've found- But what a furore you would cause If you were turned around. -Sieg ft-I ------------ - - -1- MEISEL HARDWARE AND SUPPLY CO.
