THE PYTHON '21 0600000009000OOOQOQOOOOOOOOO600699OCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Why Not? By CARL W. PRICE Only seventy-two hours between you and the ocean. Think of it! Only three days to the land of sunshine and eternal bathing, yet just as soon as anyone mentions such a thing, you would let forth such a string of buts that it would be very discouraging indeed to the one who men- tioned it. Perhaps you are figuring up your coal bill right now or many people are not put to this trouble as it is impossible to get it. The winds blow, sleet stings, snow cuts and yet only three days away is a land where oranges are growing, people bathing, everyone enjoying him or her self. You may say, I haven't time. Take time. I have a family. Take them along, they'll enjoy it all the more. I haven't the money. Well, get the money, you'll feel refreshed enough after you get back to pay for it. Transportation should not bother you as there are three or four transcontinental railroads and all of these would be willing to take you and look at the scenery you'll enjoy on the way, the Rockies, the Great Basin, all are willing to show you their best. Then you get the real enjoyment after you arrive on the Pacific coast. Things you never dreamed of. With its mo- tering, golf, fishing, bathing, motor-boating and social en- joyments, will make the days f'ly entirely too fast. You can't be a pessimist all your life! Why not start the other way now, with a trip to California? If it doesn't make you smile and draw forth some ahs of amazement, you'll probably be the first that didn't. Probably you are in poor health anyway and a trip to California is just what you need and all you need is a little urging and you will go, stay a year and come back a changed person. Perfect health is the key to success, and it comes out of a trip to California. Don't argue, but pack those trunks, call up your better- half, tell her to arrange with Betty and Simon to leave on the three-fifty for San Diego, California, and I am wishing you good luck.

THE PYTHON '21 oooovoooooooooeaoooooovo osooooooooooooooooooooooof Society By MARY SNYDER The social life of '21 has always been jolly and chuck full o' fun. , And oh! those iirst parties were jolly, you bet! There's something we'll find mighty hard to forget. As Freshies of course we were very green. By the number of parties that's plain to be seen. Most everyone had one. Now that's the truth, Baud, Esther and Kat, Zelma, Ula and Ruth. As Sophomores of course, it's sad to relate, We had less parties and more of just dates. And there that bob-sled affair in December, But the sled was broken-that's all I remember. We planned a surprise on Mary Slough, It rained, rained and rained, but we went anyhow. We went in the rain and took a gallon of oysters, And when we arrived, we were never more moister We went out to Vergils' and surprised him too. Had a good time and went home about two. When Juniors of course, we were very sedate. With less and less parties and more and more dates. This year Ruth's bob-sled was in fine condition. So We girls went to Etna to be saved from perdition. And then the Reception! that was the affair We'd looked forward to it throughout the whole year. Decorations were in purple and gold, all thro, For to our class colors we'll ever be true, ................ Page Thirty-eight Then the dance and the eats and the toasts, O well, There's really too much to try to tell. Our good times are not over, by no means, not yet, As Seniors we're just starting in, you bet, Now at Stoler's all kinds of queer beings were seen, For masked we all were on old Hallowe'en. We went to the circus and saw animals galore, O! goodness! gracious! how those Lions did roar! We danced and played games till we heard the cocks crow And then Prof. decided it was time to go. On New Year's Eve, Kat gave a dance. On caging the cooties you had to take a chance. Campbell's and Djer Kiss and Mavis were there. Pinned tight to the walls, and not to the chairs, The balancing act caused quite some strife. We went round the table with a bean on a knife. Early next morning we all went home, And it was so dark--no one went alone. Now we're Seniors, we've nearly finished the course. We leave our old High School with much remorse. With many regrets we now leave and turn, And guide our own ships, with ourselves at the stern. But to our old high school our mem'ry will ceing, In spite of the trials the future years bring.
