I often find things comical In problems economical, I love to fool with international trade. Diminishing returns to me Are but a source of jollity; With bimetallic coinage I have played. With urban and suburban rent How many happy days I’ve spent; I’ve figured out what interest is due On father’s mortgage on the light, And lvamteable to recite My Taussig “Economics,’’ Volume II. Reprinted from the Transcript, Courtesy of Clifford B. Orr. PAG TISSABOUT OURS PAMOUS PACULTY If Mr. Corbin hadn’t chosen to be a Professor of English, we think that he would have made an equally excellent farmer. Miss Page has two ideals toward which she struggles—getting perfect at- tendance in class and keeping the girls out of the clutches of loan-sharks. It is noteworthy that in the Statistics, there were three contestants for first place in ‘‘Who knows everybody in C. S. S.?”” Mr. Colby, Dean Davis and the College Cat! We wonder if Miss Purmort ever has a nightmare to the effect that some day the bell is going to ring before she gets to the transcript? We think that one reason why we all “grin and bear’’ Money and Banking and Public Finance, is because we know how Miss Vaughan feels about these subjects and you know “‘Misery loves company.” It is a toss-up as to whether Miss Luce or Mr. Ofate has done the most for C. S. S. musical clubs. We have decided that they divide the honors and offer our eternal gratitude. We offer Miss Corey as an example of the fact that some of us do absorb Shorthand and Typewriting while here at school. We heard that Miss Smith and Miss Vaughan are going to put through a law forbidding any more jokes on their pet expressions of ‘‘Time!’’ and ‘‘In the long run.’’ We promise you both that this is the last time they will be mentioned in the Sivad! Miss Freeman stands for Organization and Efficiency in capital letters. That’s why she is so much in demand when anyone thinks of a Bazaar or a Cir- cus. Her unfailing good humor is another thing that attracts us. Mr. Mechler is the man who puts “‘wim, wigor and witality”’ into the Short- hand course. We hope he stays with us at least until Lotta Grow arrives.

Mrs. Tibbetts in Spanish I:—‘‘Give me a contrary-to-fact sentence. Soph. (thinking aloud):—‘‘If I had money—”’ Mrs. Tibbetts:—‘‘That’s right! Very good example of contrary-to-fact.”’ THINGS WE, WOULD SEIKE, LOrkKNOW Wuy Mary Murphy talks so low in class and so loud elsewhere? Wuy Mr. Wilson picked Theresa Arratto and Mildred Tewksbury for the in- telligence tests? Were they dumb or absent? WHETHER Mr. Corbin thinks we believe he really locks his door? Wuy Alice McCarthy blushes so in Educational Psych? Wuy Vivian Smith and Phyllis Culbert lose their power of speech when Mr. Onate calls on them? Wuat would happen to Lill Lehmann if she couldn’t talk? Wuat would happen if Louise Bellows lost her temper in class meeting? Dip Betty Heath take her course in cooking during the summer? WHETHER the window has any attractions for Marion Condon in Spanish? Wuy Mary Mortimer isn’t training for the Opera? Witt Marian Woodlock have to do any cooking later on? Mr. Onate, at Christmas tume:—‘I hope you all have a pleasant vacation and that you’ll come back and do better work than you are doing.” Class:—“The same to you.” OUR SONGIUIS EF Bandanna Days .
