earl if lllilliilllifll Mc, 1928 Ellie ltlerharfiira First, first, first, on the bathtub, cries Jeanette Silverman, as she enters Herbart. Oh, no, says Beryl, as she steps from Room 7, I asked for it first, and I shall have it. So she haughtily steps forward in her bathing suit. Jeanette meekly goes to her room, without a word, although she is downhearted. A draft is felt, coming from the reception room, but we overlook that. for it is only Sally, doing her two hours of practice on the trombone. Sally's trombone is the pride of Herbart. We prophesy a stormy career for our youngest Herbartite. Hark! A pattering sound is heard-it is up on the third floor, I see- and it is only Frances Collins, trying to get her clogging lesson perfected for the following day. Then we look in Room 8, and there sit Mable and Gladys, eating oranges. We are offered some as we go in, one by one. Fruit being very good for us, we accept, and sit down to have a friendly discussion on Why we like German and Kinesiology. The tune of a new song from below, such as There Is No Place Like Home, or Moonlight and Roses. By this warning, we know that Helen has convinced the teachers that she has learned enough for one day, and has been dismissed. We like to have Helen sing, especially when we have a severe headache, it is so soothing. As we are on our way to our rooms, we see Mary, going down the bannister on top of her mattress. As Mary says, when interviewed, Ban- lS0l

r -MQQQZZQB-M Erwma Elirum ilirnvhrl It was a cold, stormy night and Froebel was as warm as usual, really too warm for our steam to remain frozen. Being not much inclined to lounge about the northern atmosphere, I wrapped myself up in a smile and sat myself down to muse over the events ofthe day. Eventually I fell into a doze. The halls of Froebel were full of green leaves and fruity boughs and the twitter of birds echoed through the house, the floor was covered by a thick carpet of grass. From the rather stately Froebel this new creation Was quite a surprise. I could scarcely realize I was there and my befud- dled brain could not quite work out an explanation of this, when all of a sudden I heard Clara's melodious voice ringing from one end of the hall to the other. Hey, Sunny, what cha goin' to wear tonight? I think the fair will be just perfect, but why worry now l I followed the sound of her voice because I couldn't remember where her room was. Sounds of laughter greeted me as I approached the closed door. I spied them from a neat view behind the keyhole. There was Clara trilling away as Sunny composed the music. Other commotion came from Pony , who was standing, rather endeavoring to stand, deep in thought about a new scientific exploit in the Zoo. Lab. Sweet sounds of music invited me into the room around the corner. Glad and Mike almost fell over as I entered the room, but they survived the shock and gave me all the news. Betty, it seems, was taking up secretarial work on the side. She was doing a big business digging up men from unheard of places. Midge Allen was a good assistant and had charge of their office. Curly and Lide were seated side by side in the corner bed of the room next. Lide was reading instructions of the use of fire extinguishers as Curly ate Miss Emley's pies. An odor of fresh paint met my nostrils and I found it was coming from Polly's room. I looked in and there was Polly doing portrait work. Leaving, I bumped headlong into Pete who was dashing madly in for check-in. Just started to pick her up when my heel caught in the car- pet and I fell down to earth. My eyes opened, my bed was a wreck and I was still in the freezing atmosphere. By I. M. MONKEYMEAT. f I85l

27 ,ir I MrnQZZQD W llllltll! nister sliding is my favorite indoor sport, next to talking. But we all know she has too much competition in talking, we do not mention names, however. Teeny, our house mother, leads us in everything. She is our coniider and comforter, in time of need. She is an example for young, innocent Freshmen-so girls, beware! Irene, the earliest riser, proves her worthiness in getting us ready for the first bell. She believes in the old adage, Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. She is the owl of Herbart. Five feet five inches is the height Lucy is trying to acquire, and stall bars are her only hope. Co-operation is a very good virtue, that has been adopted by all the girls. If a girl has a desire to go out walking, and decides she would like to be dressed in' blue, we all donate anything she wishes, with a willing heart, and we keep the house monitor posted on all the duties she has over- looked, thus helping her to get the desired 100. The unwritten laws are obeyed by all. They are: Rise at 6:30. Be unusually quiet, and receive no minus points during the day. So far, the rules have been kept. That's why we are what we are, says Beryl. As to roommates, Olive and Bernie are examples of contented ones. As Bernie comes into the room, Olive leaves for school, or otherwise. Bernie calls out sweetly for Olive to wait, and she will walk over with her. Olive waits, and they go with arms about each other. Every Herbartite declares she would live in no other dorm, and each rejoice that her roommate has been to her choosing, and promises, with a faithful heart, to room with her in College Senior year. Just ltarl lfrnh The Klan is gathering. Across the campus a most unearthly, though vigorous and happy song bursts out. It rings clear and penetrates the very stillness of the night. The din grows greater and greater-it sems as if the walls would burst. A jazz palace at its height cannot compete with the Krows' Nest for joy or rapture. What is contained in these songs? Ah! Who can tell? Mere words cannot express the joys and pleasures, secrets and hopes of them. It is the joy of just living together in Karl Kroh. The noise subsides a little, now we can get a clear vision of the little Krows and their mamma Heinzie. To be sure that all are present and accounted for we will have roll call. E87l
