Brown Eyes We are deeply indebted to a certain fox terrier for permission to publish this article in the BEACON. CFor obvious reasons he wishes to remain unknownj. Editor. THE LIFE OF A DOG Some people say that a dog's life consists entirely of defending help- less masters from great dangers and patrolling property under a hot blaz- ing sun or through cold, windy blizzards. It's nice to have that sort of a reputation, but believe me, folks, it's not true. To satisfy a master, man's best friend needs approximately ten minutes per day, in which he barks ferociously at some harmless intruder, bites the milkman, chases pigeons, does tricks, and manages to look fatigued at the end of the day. The rest of the time is just milk and honey. To make things clearer for more complicated, as the case may bel, let me give an example of a typical day in the life of a dog. My day begins at nine o'clock, when I am awakened with gentle, soothing music from my bed, which happens to be the softest pillow I can find. I am led to a delicious breakfast of roast beef dipped in catsup. I then go on a short walk with my master, during which I chase a Mexican Chihuahua home, and growl viciously Cthrough a barbed wire fencej at a huge St. Bernard. My master then goes to work, while I sleep in the sun for the rest of the day. At 5:30 in the afternoon, exhausted after faithfully guarding the house, I rush out to meet my master. fSomehow, I always manage to look tired and run-down.J Soon after, I am given for supper a fine T-bone steak fried in onion juice. My master then praises me for defending the house from all milkmen, pyromaniacs, G-men, and bill collectors, and I happily curl up on the pillow to rest for another day of guarding faithfully my master's possessions.

On November 2, 1950 members of the Junior and Senior classes trav- eled to Clark University to see a Shakesperean play.
