l JANUARY AGLAIA Joe College By 1oHN O'LEARY In every small college there is an out- standing character-Ioe College. He is to be seen most frequently on the school campus and at the college activities. When one is attending a school dance he hears, aboutxthe middle of the evening the din of a conglomeration of noises that sounds not unlike the coffee pot boiling over, or a riveting machine hard at its task, and up into the driveway comes an automobile for is itj that has the appearance of a piece of machinery that was with Napoleon at NVaterloo. From out of the maze of signs, bells, alarm clocks, and all the other intricacies of this wonderful mess, steps the one and only loe College. Now Ioe is ,really only you or I but in a much different situation. He makes his ar- rival one that would do justice to an Emperor and he steps from his jaloppy with the pomp and dignity of ai King. As he steps from the car one can easily see his cardinal red socks and green shoes, for his pants hang about eight inches from his knees. His pride is not dampened in the least because right be- side him is his girl friend. Everyone knows Ioe for he makes it his business to know everyone. Studies are the least of his worries. Who cares whyi Hannibal crossed the Alps, or if the Greeks did have a word for any- thing? Ioe doesn't know and doesn't care. But, let some one ask him who was Miss America of 1934-35-36-37238-39, and Ioe will promptly reach into the depths of his massive racoon coat and bring forth pictures and newspaper clippings. When not busy studying he is the very essence of manhood. Lonely? Well, Ioe can fix that, for he runs a dating biureau. 15 Hungry? Well, he can fix that too by getting cut rates from Lanie, the restaurant man. I Flunking? This is an easy matter for Ioe to straighten out because it is he who has a complete collection of Trots, Ponies, and Interleavers. When it comes to getting into trouble Ioe is the artist of artists. It was upon his suggestion that the Dean should not make noise when he drinks his coffee, and through his ingenious power over freshmen a bottle of coffee with a nipple attached was consider- ately provided for the Dean's place. Whose idea was it to hang Danny Amontillado's pants on the Hag pole? None other than Ioe's. Who put the collection of twenty-four garbage receptacles in the proctor's bedroom? Well, by now you should know. Ioe is an artist for getting into trouble but not a member of that learned profession, escape artist. l Love It By ROBERT MERRILL I love to roam the countryside To smell the fragrance sweet, I love to run and jump and hide In fields of golden wheat. I love it where the sun does shine, Where nature blends with God. I love it where it's all sublime, For that's where I have trod. I love it where the snow appears With skies of darkest gray, Where frost of morn does bite our ears And speeds us on our way. I love it where the road does end, When all our dreams come true- To turn and look around each bend And see what I've been thru,

14 I know what, Iimmy, we'll run away! Let's, then they'll be sorry they were so mean to us. So for weeks we saved cookies, sand- wiches, and other foods we thought suitable to the open road. What matter if they got stale-we'd be free! The day was May Ig the time-mid- night. Everything was ready-the screens carefully oiled and the alarm clock muffled under the pillow. lust as the clock struck twelve, a large bright moon threw a small shrinking shadow against the earth. The shadow stole fearfully up the hill to the next house. A sibilance brought Dorothy to the corridor and in no time two shadows laden with large paper bags were creeping down the road. Suddenly the silence was broken by the mournful howl of a dog. Dorothy and I stopped stock-still in the road and stared at each other in dis- may. We both knew that Dorothy's mother was a very light sleeper. Whenever the dog barked she got up and roamed about, often looking in at Dorothy. It took not more than two seconds to reach the house. In went Dorothy, shoes-rubbers-all, and the covers up over her head. Alas! in the hurry I forgot to hold the screen, which went down with a bang. As we had expected, in came Mrs. Worcester. If she had looked closely she would no doubt have seen the bed shaking suspiciously as she murmured, That's odd. It must have been the cat.', At the bottom of the diary page marked May I, 1934, is scrawled and so I guess we're not grown up yet, after all. vhool Spirit By ROGERS BLOOD As cement strongly binds solid forms together so does school spirit tend to bind students of Central together in a brotherhood of friendship and understanding. M. H. S. ORACLE It is necessary, however, to combine the ingredients in the required proportions or the cement of school spirit will crumble and the school unity as well. As loyalty, cooperation, and enthusiasm serve as the vital ingredients for the formation of a solid and lasting cement it is necessary that all the materials are not lacking. Today students as well as teachers are the masons upon whose shoulders rest the responsibility for the mixing of a strong material which in time will solidify, bringing about the formation of a strong school unity. When students and teachers fail to sup- port the many school activities and perfor- mances, is not the required amount of loyalty ingredient missing? When pupils fail to appreciate the work done for the school by their own classmates and teachers, is not the necessary amount of enthusiasm lacking? When club meetings are called and few members attend, when aid ,is desperately needed and is overlooked, when activities are open to all and few take advantage, and when personal ambitions overshadow school obli- gations, is not the much required touch of cooperation sorely in need? Those whobfail to supply the ingredients and mix the cement of school spirit are as useless as those who forget or are indifferent as to future results. There are those, however, who are will- ing to sacrifice their time for the building of a strong school unity, but little can they do when others fail to cooperate, having the idea that the price for work is not worth the results. A strong school understanding will help to bring the desires and dreams of students into a reality. Students, teachers, and citizens all must wield the trowel of the builder and create a strong, sturdy foundation for the stalwart building of school unity and strength of the future,
