Having graduated from the Munson Scientific School. I feel most efficiently prepared to take charge of the department of Piscatology in your school. The course includes a thorough training in that science, and especially treats of the habits, characteristics and home of the pike. Will give private lessons on the secret of how to catch a fine Pike. My method has been tried with great success. Ella F. PlKE As head of the English department, I found my work so very engrossing that I tumbled I myself, and, for the last twenty years, deemed it wise to cut it out and limit my efforts to tu special line of Prof, of Slang. I offer a star course, for I myself am a shining light Doodles of my stunts can be mastered in a giffy for so steeped am I in my chosen art that my every word gushes with a living issue of slang. A real pert person can catch on to my peachj expressions in half a giffy, for only to feast one ' s optics on my phiz convinces one that I am fully developed pedestrian of my art. I take pupils without discrimination, and supply scat of examples to those wishing to throw to the birds their seedy expressions and grow into a pel feet example of this 20th century profession.

An Important Meeting of the Senior Glass Very important meeting of the Senior Class in the library tonight at 8 P. M. Every one urged to be pres¬ ent, as business of great importance will be transacted. Those who cannot attend let me know in person. C. W. G.. March 12, 1907.” notice, which was passed to the members of the Senior Class on the morning of March 12, caused no little I commotion. “What can it be for?” “Why is it so important? “Now I wonder what is going to happen?” Let s be sure and go. These were some of the questions heard concerning this all important meeting. N° w we know ,hat all class meetings, especially of the Senior Class, are important, but this emphatic call .. c a“ se d no little curiosity on the part of some members. I say some members, because a few, commonly known as the outsiders or those not residing at the dormitory, knew the why and wherefore of this meeting. Promptly (?) at eight o clock the class gathered around one of the tables, looking with expectant and wondering eyes toward the president. The meeting, as is the custom, was called to order, though quite unnecessarily, as a more orderly class was never known. Business of importance was well under way, when one of the members asked to be excused pleading hard work to be done at home, in fact, he said, he had made a great sacrifice to attend the meeting for a few moments— he was excused. In the course of half an hour a knock was heard at the door, the door opened and behold! the excused boy who had so much to do entered heavily laden with goodies, and yelled out Surprise! A happy birthday! Important business was at once forgotten and the class rose and sang the little kindergarten song “Happy Birthday to You,” for three of our noble Seniors had a birthday that day; their ages, did you say? well we don’t know— suppose you ask them. Three library tables were quickly spread, for we wanted the cocoa steaming hot and the devil and angel (food) were quite ready to fall as also were the rosy cheeked apples, but. say. wasn ' t that whipped creamcake just terribly good? The three little girls who had birthdays were conducted to their respective places, and how their eyes danced, for at each plate they beheld Just w-hat I’ve been wanting for a long time!” One began at once to shake a real noisy rattle, another unselfishly said we could bounce her gaily colored ball; the third was laughing over her cute little knife, fork and spoon. By this time all were seated at the table, with appetites quite becoming a Senior class. All cares, trials and tribu¬ lations were for the time forgotten. Neat and pleasing little speeches were made by the birthday girls and by several others, ihc most surprising part, however, was when one member, after the president’s speech, arose and modestly said, “I quite agree with my better half, so have no more to say.” Confusion reigned while congratulations were at once in order. May ey ive long and peacefully. After the goodies were gone (Grace couldn ' t even find another crumb) the birthday girl Were a 8am congratulated, cheers were given and the class adjourned having finished their very important meeting.
