Man comes into the world without his consent and leaves it against his will. During the stay upon earth, his time is spent in continual round of conlraries and misunderstandings. In his infancy he is an angelg in his boyhood he is a devilg in his manhood his is everything from a lizard upg in his duties he is a damn fool. ' When he comes into the world everybody wants to kiss him, before he goes out, everybody wants to kick him. If he dies young-there was a great future for himg if he lives to a ripe old age, he is in the way, only living to save funeral expenses. I feel sure, however, that every action, of every fellow, upon the platform to-day, will be such as to honor this Class of IQOQ and Dear Old Central Manual! All right Professor, on with the Dance.

somewhat like- Beans, Milly, beans, cheese cake, Doc! Pie! Pie! Two pretzels, go whan, that's my change, what the h-l d'yer think yer doin'? etc. And now I became weary and was about to leave, when lo, stillness came on the house, those who were casting their bread and pie at one another, did become as lambs 5 and there went up a cry from all. ' Cheese it, Billy. A man of much beard and little hair, the littleness thereof being hid by a little cap of black, did pass through the place, casting many suspicious glances at those therein. I became afraid and knew not what to do, fearing that he of the cap did wish to do me evil. Therefore I hid myself in a closet -called a locker, but no sooner had I done so, when I heard a cry of locker thief, and the multi- tude sprang upon me, tearing my raiment and pulling my hair. But then did I bring forth that which I had received at the place of the lunch counter. And the multitude dispersed, it being a thing of abomination, known as a cheese sandwich. Thus did I leave the building, and climbing into the waiting airship, directed my guide to ascend. But the shock of seeing a new Central Manual was too much for me, and I fainted, pitch- ing headlong from my lofty position. I fell right toward an old, greystone building, which, from the many holes in the roof, I took to be the old school a.t Seventeenth and Wood. Crash! right through the roof and with a great bump, I struck the floor and-woke up. I found myself in the chemistry lab, where the fellows informed me that while, performing an experiment with ether I had inhaled too much of the vapor and fell asleep, awaking only when I fell from my stool. Now Ladies and Gentlemen, the future of some of the fellows I have revealed, some of my classmates I have missed. I may have been mistaken in my judgments, for who can tell. 88
