L ,A 3- X., the time, these occurrences seeme tragedy itself, but rj fl Jil til 17, 7135251 now, as we gaze back from the end of the road, they ' - appear as humor in its highest form. For example there was Marion, who, weary and downfhearted after a day's fruitless work, entered a wellfknown surgical appliance concern, and looking meekly up into the face of a tall, overpowering individual, said,, We thought you might give us an 'Ad' , only to receive the brusf que reply, Oh, you did, did you? That's what you get for thinking. Then Virginia, who in her great desire to do something to merit success, resolved upon a sacrifice. With twenty cents as the sum total of her wealth, and half of it to o for homeward carfare, she heroically waved away visions of a cool regeshing ice cream soda and presented a poor beggar with a nickel. Mary Whitehead and Ruth Bosken had their adventure also! After a series of refusals they happened to pass a truck of empty barrels and whist!-their luck changed. At every stopping place thereafter they received the objedt of their quest. Will Gertrude ever forget the struggle she had to suppress her giggles when the president of one of our business colleges insisted upon showing her through his school, explaining the various departments in terms of such dimension that poor Gertie thought he was speaking Greek. Then, there was the miniature sand storm blowing from an alley which en' veloped and almost choked our three Musketeers , Clare, Gertrude, and Marion, as, weary and footsore, they painfully wended their home' ward way. Such tragic humor! We also number among us the usual, or shall I say unusual fortunate adfseekers . To hear the accounts of Elsie and Julia one feels that every business man they encountered greeted them with open arms and let fall a shower of silver dollars. We feel sure that the majority of their patrons offered to take two or three page ads. Of course, most of their success was due to their unusual courage. Who but our smiling Julia would be daring enough to walk through the portals of the biggea bank in the city, ask for the president, whom she had never seen, beam' l421

ingly give him her name, request an ad, and receive from the magnate of finance the soft sweet answer, Yes, Julia, we can do something very nice for .you. We'll take a fullfpage ad. Now, I ask you, who but Julia? Dolores' chief experience seemed to be getting caught in the rain. Every time she would decide to go to town the heavens would decide to feed the thirsty crops. Good for the farmer, but hard on Dolores! The adfsearch had its practical as well as its humorous side. It made our annual possible, it revealed to us the courtesy and friendliness of the business men of our city, it taught us many valuable commercial facts, and most of all, it inspired us with courage for future ventures into this field.

And the charm of its coolness has soothed my soul through the torrid afternoons. I am welcomer of its singers who come when the snows are gone, Patron of its symphonies that sound in every dawn, Ruler supreme of this kingdom the rest of the world has forgotten, The old deserted orchard on the weedfgrown road.
