There were reverberating crashes of thunder, the angry beat of an angered ocean upon immovable rocks. Then we saw .rolling violently before the infuriated typhoon, a small barkantine, such as is used by pearl traders of the atolls. Her forecastle was covered by the jib and broken foremast. The mainmast was stripped of its shrouds. Aft, clinging to the powerless wheel, was a white bit of something or other. As the wave-washed vessel approached, the white rag became a piece of senseless humanity, the last being on this ship fated to be pounded by the heartless storm gods on those hardened cliffs. The stem of the craft plowed onto a submerged rock; there was a sickening crash; the winds howled their delight. Then the God of All rose, lifted his hand, called on the producers of the lightning, the thunder, the waves to stop. They stopped. You have guessed it—this Neptune was none other than Director Dinks of the Thistle Thriller Motion Picture Corporation. R. AKIN, ’29. MR. BRIGHTMAN’S DAY “Hello. Mr. Brightman, how arc you this morning? Say, do you mind if I park this package in here ’till after school?” “All right, right in this corner, I'll get it at one-fifteen. Thanks, a lot.” “O, Mr. Brightman.. do you know where I can find Mr. Cornell? Miss Bradford wants some clips.” “Oh. Mr. Brightman, come up to Room 2 right away. There’s an awful odor there. It’s nearly driving Miss Sisson out. They’ve got it in Room 1 too. Say Mr. Brightman, Henry Mason’s painting some benches. Think that’s it? “Oh, Mr. Brightman, Room 5 is too cold; it won't warm up at all.” Mr. Brightman, may I have the key to the office? I want to use the phone. Yes, it’s an in-town call.” “Mr. Brightman, where can I get some gray cloth, two benches, some new plugs, an extension cord, or almost anything else?” 'Here they are. I’ll get you some. I’ll be right up.” Ts it any wonder that we all love Mr. Brightman ? H. MASON, ’29.
