itfje a is The March of the juniors And there dwelt in different parts of the country, girls who had heard of the fame of the Battle Creek San, tales of which had gone forth to many lands. Who, when September, 1921, came, did pack their trunks and set forth on a journey to this institution there to enter the School of Home Economics. And here they were shown many things by their Big Sisters, the Seniors. who guided them on the Road to the places where schedules were made and Classes found. And of these classes there were various kinds and wonderful things did these juniors, as they now came to be called, have to learn about. Such as micrococcus catarrhalis, bacillus feccilis alkaligenes, polymorphonuclear-neutro- phile, the digestive tract, and normal solutions. And while shrieks of protest were frequently heard, they were useless, as these things were made to be learned. These same Juniors also learned about Diets 5 that no meat was to be eaten, and that bran and spinach were more to be desired than coffee and hot dogs: yea than chocolate covered Brazil nuts and Welsh rarebits. So tons of spinach and bran did they valiantly consume. . And there were other sore trials because of a many-headed monster known as Dormitory Regulations, who made it unpleasant for girls who were noisy after lights out, and who swept dirt under beds. But with Obedience as a guide this too was safely passed and the Juniors continued their march. One, Lillian White, was chosen from among their num.ber to lead the march -and direct them in their various undertakings and right well did she perform her duties. Margaret Ritchie, who also taught them to cook, advised them, as did Jack Bullock, who dwelt among microbes and learned many astounding secrets of their habits. And it was this man who, when the Juniors challenged to Basketball the Seniors, did offer a ram for a mascot, which was accepted with howls of glee. And when they reached Exams at the end of a Semester, there arose a mighty wail, but the Faculty did laugh in derision, hardening their hearts, so that the juniors were forced to submit and pass this Trial of Knowledge before they were allowed to proceed. And many many Happinesses did they find along the way. So thus accom- panied by the Spirit of Good times as well as the Spirit of Work they reached, in June, the time of Commencement, the Parting of the Ways until the next September, when they again will return to S.

1 . a ff After Exams fWith apologies to Kipling, VVhen the Juniors' last exam is over, and the ink on the pages has dried, When those who have passed are rejoicing, and those who have flunked have cried 3 We shall rest-and faith, we shall need it, sit down for a breath or two, 'Till exams of another semester shall put us to work anew. And the girls who are smart will be happy, and those who don't study-not sadg For it's the way of the Junior lassies, no matter what comes, to be glad, Each will start work again with a spirit, determined to do and to dare, For the motto of each single Junior is always: Play up, and play fair! And only the teachers shall praise us, and only the teachers shall blame, And no one shall work for grades only and no one shall work for fameg But each for the joy of working, and seeking a goal now afar, Will study as all juniors must do, for exams are as they are. R. M. K. u Class Mottoes - BACTERIOLOGY-Use a mixture of common sense and a few facts. CHEMISTRY-Define and give an illustration. HOUSEHOLD ADMINISTRATION-When in doubt, use whiting. FOODS LABORATORY-Learn proportions and methods for making white sauce. BIOLOGY-Originality is the spice of life. No matter how original, just be original. 70
