Seniors Coming Out Tuesday morning following registration of Normal students, the Seniors took possession of the platrorm, to portray the registration of the Juniors, as It had occurred the preceding week. Before Assembly the Juniors, in order to avoid seeing the true presentation of their registration, heaped repeated assaults upon the Seniors. In the midst of the noble charge made by the Seniors, the tumult was subdued by the arrival of the faculty. The Seniors then dispersed to either side of the platform into the dressing rooms to await with glowing expectation the conclusion of the usual murning chapel, and, as chance would have it. a lengthy violin overture was rendered to sooth the enraged Juniors. Meanwhile, the faculty sent glances of approved respect to the worthy Seniors waiting in the side lines. At length the exercises were over and the faculty made room for the scene to be enacted. Immediately a most real and vivid recollection of their recent con¬ fusion was forced upon the Juniors. In the center of the stage was Mr. Wilson, seated at his desk; approaching him were all sorts of uncouth, outlandish, helpless, unsophisticated duplicates of Juniors escorted by relatives. Among the most conspicuous ones was a red-headed Irish mother dragging her Midget daughter through Ihe seemingly tremendous ordeal of classification. The youngster broke loose from her parent and rushed up to the principal, almost dislocating her sterno clcldo mastoid in the attempt to converse with that tall per¬ sonage. She bawled out; Be you Mr. Wilson, Not far from the front or tbe waiting line came the newlyweds. Mr. and Mrs. Welkins. He inquired of Mr. Wilson If it would be possible for his wife to take Domestic Science and thereby learn to boll water and fry toast. Still another amusing feature by a strong-beaded Dutrh lady with a pair of twins, who planted herself before the principal and, a ter many expostulations concerning the brilliance of her pair, thrust upon him her ardent desire and per feet confidence that her daughters would complete the entire course. Ineluding all the electives, in six months ' time with flying colors. The Seniors having already enjoyed their classification and registration, sat happily conversing opposite through all this confusion. Rushing off In mad haste after the perplexing task, the Juniors were asked by the principal to remain a little longer ami receive further directions from the Seniors for their conduct during the year. By way of advice to the Juniors, the following song was sung to them to the tune or Yankee Doodle ; Little Juniors rome to school To get an education. To Seniors wise and Seniors good They prove a recreation. CHORDS— Little Juniors don’t despair; Youthrul, green and frightful— Mind the teachers Htid the rules. And school will tie delightful. The Normal soon will tone you down; The Seniors all will guide you. You toon will be uo longer green. And we’ll no more deride you. 17
