24 THE ARSENAL CANNON. Almanac of The Year Note.-The editor of the treasured column regrets to announce that nothing of importance has happened since Miles Drake received 3 A's. This was in January. FRIDAY MARCH 5. Forcast.-Increasing cloudiness in the vicinity of Franklin, breezes blowing toward the north. MONDAY MARCH 8. The weatherman leaves the city for one week. He will travel the sub- urbs of Brightwood and Haughville. THURSDAY MARCH 17. The honor of this day was shown upon the faces of the assets of Techf' the Freshes, WED. MARCH 23. Two punk basketball teams under the name of Red and Green, with the Mutt and Jeff of it as captains, alias Houp Myers and Stiify Warren, met on this day. The aggregation with the Irish here knew as much about playing basketball as Lehman Holiday does about hurdling. MONDAY MARCH 28. The best players in this Red-Green gang received Monograms. Jeff got one, but Mutt refused to show his ability and he even retired to the floor in the second game. Charley Wheat also received a monogram. People say he was once the property of a Brown county farmer serving as a protector of his crops. THURS. APRIL 1. Weather increasing warmer, nearly all Algebra and German books are being lost. The tennis bugs start mowing up the courts. FRIDAY APRIL 9. Four punk baseball captains select- ed nine other men of the same dis- tinction. Beef Harris called his aggregation the Braves, probably because they were brave enough to stand up against another team. The Indians act like a bunch of Indians. The Cubs have a few good players. The Techfeds are so rotten that the men even run the bases backwards. MONDAY MAY 3. Don Durman must have an excellent constitution as he has been seen for the last two weeks rolling and kicking on the school campus. TUESDAY MAY 4. The May Fete or in other Words May Fete was given. No person was overcome by the heat. THURSDAY MAY 6. Lehman Holliday, would-be hurdler, baseball player, basketball player, rough neck, determined to break his neck, leg or something. So he tried to hurdle, in his graceful manner while going at full speed, over a wire fence 2 feet 6 inches high. He got over safelyg but alighted wrong. He descended as gracefully as an English areoplane after being struck by a German cannon ball. After the re- mains had been picked up it was found that he had, through his dexter- ous movement of his left knee, made a new air hole in his trousers. Also something red was fiowing profusely from the injured member. The leg was about as much use to him as a tennis racquet is to Ed Hartlauf, Tech's renowned exponent of the net game, who won one game out of two sets. TUESDAY MAY 11. All are in sympathy with Winnie Fehr, who, according to Herr Meseke has more love and loyality for the school than for his thumb and Ger- man. WEDNESDAY MAY 12. Mr. Yenne had a wonderful section gang working on the bleachers. Among them was E. Hughes who doesn't know a saw from a hammer. WEDNESDAY MAY 12. Afternoon. Stiffy Warren, Bill Chandler and Arch Brown, who are generally seen the first hour with their faces glued to the interesting pages of an ancient history came to Miss Jasper and implored her to per- mit them to show their loyality to the seniors by working on the stage. Later Stiffy solved a great question, that of getting a horse. Stiffy showed that he was as good a horse as a human. Bill who acted as driver or- dered thig poor dobbin around like a mule.
