Th Balance Sheet And to every man shall come his day of accounting PUnL1s1-nan nv THE JUNIOR CLASS ANNIE DoM1Nv, 1924 Juniors Heartily Endorse Regular Vacational Course At last, the promised Utopia has arrived in our midst. The Junior Class of C. B. A. has heartily indorsed the Vocational Department and its work. No other department of the school has done so much for the stu- dents. Instead of letting the pursuers of learning waste their time Friday afternoons by going to a show, the department brings entertainers to the school, where all can list.en and sleep quietly. The final exams, however, are a trifle difficult and some trouble was experienced in filling both sides of the paper. The juniors, moreover, are very' much in favor of paying the full tuition rate, instead of only a part for their Supervised Employment. This is due to the fact that the Friday after- noon teas are very much appreciated. If we may be allowed to misquote some of thc prominent members of the class we assume this liberty: I'rcs'id1enl I re1lAngclu.v Ilzmnon- of course the Vocational Department is the most popular. If I make enough managing the golf team, I'll be tickled to death to pay the Supervised Employ- ment fee. Dorman- Oli, dear, I think that De- partment is too wonderful for words. In fact, I have no words strong enough to express my feelings. Mririon Balcom- I thinkit's wonder- ful that they have segregated the girls, so that we can't talk to the boys. The Juniors are thinking of holding an indignation meeting and insist that the fee be raised. WILL GIVE JUNIORS INTELLIGENCE TESTS There seems to be some agitation for intelligence tests among the juniors. This is the hrst inkling that has come to us that shows that some people really believe that Juniors possess 1n- telligence. But why the test? If we possess intelligence, then it must be perfectly apparent, and thus satisfy the outsiders. Let it ever be thus.

BEDROOM FARCE Light Opera Made Lighter by Feather-Brained . Hero ' The latest C. B. A. show has been denounced by the Masque, an organ- ization which has nothing to do with the Klan. It is written by George Bacon who has been an actor in his days. Bacon is sometimes, for this reason, referred to as the ham what am. He spent three years in the South Sea Islands under the cocoanut trees, and he often calls those days his palmier days. The first scene is laid in the Edison Electric plant and calls for a deal of light comedy. The super- intendent of the plant is a humorous character with a bulbous nose. It is said that this scene is a steal from Whispering Wires and, if so, Bacon will shock many of his ardent admirers. The second scene is a fishing scene and that is where the cast comes into its own. Even the storm a-baits after a while, and the hero, who is very much abused in the early scenes, proves that even a worm may turn. To make this scene more attractive, and real- istic, Bacon has gone to Europe and brought back twelve beautiful blonde Poles to make up the chorus. ' THE POET'S CORONER Who has the rest of the verses to the poem which contains: Whoever touches a hair of your gray head. Dies like a dog Marchand, he said. If she be a dainty damsel and weigh one quarter of a ton, If you love. her and wish to propose, het on your knees son, and Nielson.

LEGAL TERMINOLOGY SAVES MR. NORTON Further developments in the Norton- VVheeler case were brought out in McCabe's court room when the plain- tiff, VVheeler, produced several wit- nesses with testimony which shed new light on the matter. Sidney Lacob said that he had often wondered how IVIr. Norton could repre- sent himself as a rich man when he had only a Beanpot to show, and now Mr. Norton was hailed into court for being caught with his hand in the Beanpot. Asked why Norton was able to dress himself so cagey, Mr. Lacob answered that Mr. Norton was in very dire straits, when he was being sued in a breach of promise case. and did not have a decent pair of trousers to wear to court. Mr. VVheeler's shoulders shook con- vulsively with racking sobs, as the witness told how the plaintiff had taken pity on Norton in his decrepit condition and had brought a breach of contract action against him, and now Norton had a fine pair of breaches. I.acob was then excused because he lived in Waltham and it was time for him to get back, The plaintiff, Mr. Wheeler, gave weighty testimony in which he claimed that Norton had been seen taking some money out of the Beanpot office. Mr. Norton himself decided to cross- examine the witness and the records read as follows: Continued rm Page 8 NEAR TRAGEDY IN C. B. A.

THE BALANCE SHEET 8 Juniors Find Paradise Lost College Utopia Includes Class Members Who Pay Dues ALL REPORTS SHOW GREAT SUCCESS The Junior Class held their bi-weekly meeting in room 23 and 24. lt was proven earlier in the year that room 23 was inadequate, as every member showed up and half the class had to stand. Pres. Fred Hannon called the meeting to order, and Treasurer Ham- mond announced that everyone had paid up his dues, and, as a result, there was 9:5275 in the treasury. Mr. Pelkus then praised the class and said that since the advertising was going to pay for the Syllabus, the books would be given away free. The class, however, refused to take their money that Mr. Pelkus be back, and voted presented with a sporty roadster with the compliments of the junior Class. john XVaters. the registrar, visited the class and told the members, that since no junior was either on Pro or Supe, they would be excused fron1 paying the Supervised Employment fee next year. Mr. Waters immediately saw that he had incurred the displeasure of the class. and so he announced that the class could contribute their money towards a ten years' subscription of La Vie Parisienne for the library. The success of the Prom was assured by Al Wheeler, who pleased the class by proclaiming that Paul Whiteman was going to play just for honor of playing at a B. U. Prom. The ball- room was put at our disposal by the manager of the Somerset, who said that he had made enough money from B. U. students and this was the only way to show his appreciation. The meeting was adjourned at 1:15 much against the wishes of the class. who said they would rather miss their lunch than leave the meeting. News Briefs High life lead to downfall of aviator.

Some sociologists claim that the girls of to-day are not as nice as those of yesterday. lt's mighty hard to tell that to one of our class who is always meeting another keen woman. What say, Laughy? Cut not to-day, lest you flunk to- morrow. Never knew Stanley Hirtle was married until we heard him say at a game of the prancing checkers, Baby needs a pair of new shoes.

'Every man has some vocation and his avocation, but we never suspected anything of the Vocational Depart- ment until we discovered that even Pressy has his Hobby.

The case itself is a very technical one, and so that there may be no mistrial declared, even the court stationery requires rulings. JUNIOR WEEK HELPS MAKE JUNIORS WEAK Social Whirl Now in Full Sway -Program includes enough to keep father working overtime Once upon a time - yes, long before Percy Marks wrote The Plastic Age - some deep minded villian evolved the scheme of putting the finishing touches upon Papa's Pocketbook before Son or Daughter hnished the vacation at the college. The result was junior VVeek. At the first, we had only a Prom, but this just put the progeny in debt for a month or two, so the insidious schemers put their beans together and doped out a more finished process of shearing the sheep. This year, there has been a perfect program made out. MAY 2D'Zll-tCI'l100l1. A Field Day. Events-100-yard dash. or chasing the last car from Dorchester.
