VVhat became of that article I was writing ? Agonized moans till the news office and dis- turb the silence of the halls. As time for publication draws near the atmosphere changes to one of grim anticipation as everybody writes with his eye on the clock. VVhen the lost article is off to the publisher the editor leans back with a sigh and counts up the remaining issues for the semester. But folks in the publication office have one advantage over ordinary students. Those in class must labor on empty stomachs or at best surreptitious chews of gum. But there is nothing surreptitious in the news office. Ask the boys who sweep out the gum wrappers. Blade-leine Sprague is the principal consumer of the Nickle Lunch with the unchallenged record of 550 for one single hour. She says they help her grind out lXIaroon Cocoonisms . A typical eighth hour in the office finds typists vehemently punching keys, repo1't- ers, with disheveled hair frantically searching for news, and even the office sheiks fighting a losing game as they attempt to preserve an air of insouciance. Conversation is fitful-now low, now high, mostly high! llflary Pomeroy, editor insists on more quiet when suddenly some one shouts, VVhat word can I use instead of sponsor? D'ja see the State this week? Aw, I can't headline this. VVonder how much money Connie has in the treasury, we otta have a party. At last the day is ended. The hall clock says 6:30 and again the staff disperses. Puyr Om' Hundred Four

DELPHHAN At last a method has been discovered for ascertaining a member of that mysteri- ous organization, the Delphian staff. Plant yourself in front of the publication of- fice door and wait with an air ot sleepy unconcern. But watch carefully. You will know him immediately by the surreptitious way he approaches the oliice door. Perhaps you wonder at the secrecy displayed but pause, still your churning gum and your curiosity shall be satisfied. These folks are trying to please everybody and themselves at the same time. The senior wants his picture to be a speaking image and yet bear a striking resemblance to Ramon Novarro-See Wlanda Luikens. Clubs are promised a little feature. Home- rooms want a good account and so the unfortunate writer is hopelessly and helplessly lost. Finally he bursts a blood vessel and goes and writes the way he wants to. Flowers to Barbara Simmons! That is the reason for this secrecy. And when the book finally comes out said members will disconnect the oliice phone and go out and be pirates until all the furor is over. Ruth Stephenson, editor, plans wearing cotton in her ears the day ol publication. This will deaden the wail that goes up when the seniors read the comments Lois Craven has put under their names. Dave Nlorris and Tom Bennett business managers probably have contracted as many grey hairs as anyone. They have developed the expression of the harassed in- stallment buyer who is just one jump ahead of the collector. Talented Central artists with Bliss lioodwyl Posts help have wracked their brains for modernistic backgrounds and margins to Ht the pages. But finally it is all over and one and all the Delphian staff bids you: pass over the poor spots, enjoy the good, speak no ill of any man and see that mother gets the insurance money all fair and squarely.

If you zvirh in rein ll fitlfr pin .fmt rerifi' for Ihr Quill mul Srrrffffr. Posing on the hip or shoulder of each smart scribbler is a little gold pin-ah, he is a member too. Honor comes to him who deserves it, likewise the pin-to have and to hold. And what could be more wonderful or gratifying as having a square meal to boot? But when llr. Yvilliam F. l'lead's little eyes go squint as Bob Cooper coughs up the wrong big word that Advisor li. lf. lioepfgen has expostulated as iniation to the Quill and Scroll, your eyes would go squint too. Or when Russ Townsend swallowed the drumstick ot that fat fowl wouldn't your throat go tight? Russ's did any way and Kladeline Sprague assisted in removing the interior substance. Connie Rosenbaum, the girl with the red mop, and Klary Alice Klclflroy, who writes such crazy stories about the teachers, and Kathryn Klarsh who got in dutch with the students because she didn't know how to spell names were also put through the grueling process. But little did these above mentioned regret this experience because the second semester crop of initiates were asking for their dinner. The latter at .loe Hrown's Inn on a snowy night in Klay also brought out the speech of Dr. C. T. Goodsell, and that of Tom Bennett a new member. XVirh many a sigh and cough, the nervous systems of Elizabeth Valey, Betsy Dekema, Lenore Polderman, Elizabeth Hathaway, Geneive Kern and Betty Johnson did follow the example of the huge whale when Jonah was on earth by spouting out those enormous words. Little trouble did these young modern damosels Lois Craven, Hazel Schrier, XVanda Luikens and llildred Newcastle have as they had learned these words by heart. But the banquet was not the end of the Quillers for to this day they are wielding the pens of future glory. Page One' Hundred Five
