The guests are pitching pennies on the deck of the boat. The farmer from Missouri takes a bite of tobacco and starts the conf versation. MI say, he began, how can Gallop, the football hero, always get through the line without ever being tackled? Even his own friends won't tell him, Antony gravely replied. Marvelous! muttered Lucullus, as he handed Archias three cents Where did you see that? In the DUMBEL, Antony answered. It is published by Sherebrooke High School in the province of Quebec. I'll have to get one, the farmer decided. I like to make wisecracks, you know. You ought to see one, Antony told him. The DUMBEL is an excelf lent magazine, with especially fine humor. The farmer spit some tobacco juice at a fish swimming by and started to sing in a harsh tenor voice, How Dry I Am. Silence reigned until Lucullus broke it by swearing at his luck. It was also evident that he liked the farm' er's song. I am just wild about good singing and poetry like that, Lucullus mutf tered, with tears in his eyes. Then you ought to get the STUDENTS PEN, Archias declared. They have about the best poetry of any school paper I know of. They appreciate talent also. They said that the BENNETT BEACON had the best athletic writefups of any school magazine that they received. THE STUD' ENTS PEN is printed in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. ' After that speech had sunk into his head, Lucullus asked, What hapf pened to your poem The Brave Fireman, Archias? It went to the fire! replied Archias mournfully. Well, you blokes can have your poetry and such, chimed in the farmer, But as for me, I like mystery stories like those in ODDS AND ENDS of Detroit, Michigan. The Serpent Ring and A City of Mystery are fcontinued on page 36j

The 'LKeep Kafeteria Klean Campaign has been continued with the help of inspiring posters which have been placed in the various homeroomsg an improvement in conditions in the cafeteria has been noted. On Monday, February 6, a tea was given in the Model Apartment for the faculty cabinet and the two senior studyroom teachers, Miss Elliott and Mrs. Wilkinson. A discussion was held, during which the members of the faculty gave some very helpful suggestions for future work. Eudice Shapiro rendered some very pleasing selections on the violin, and Mildred Mangano completed the program with two delightful piano selections. Refreshments were served. The tea was declared a success by all. On Friday, March 9, the Legion made its first appearance before the entire student body in a mock trial, which was presented in assembly. It proved quite entertaining and was thoroughly enjoyed. The Legion is always open to suggestions from either the faculty or the students and will attempt to do all in its power to alter any condition that should not exist in such a school as Bennett. kReta E.
