H0 I K Q11 Q! - YJ ed Letter ays Srcifrmfiiaek, 1927 -As an inauguration of the system of co-operation with the University, Mr. Mosher read about talents and explained the system. VVe then had a xylophone recital by Mr. Munch, who ran up and down the platform behind the row of new and old teachers, using the names of the respective notes as a hammer with which he produced an harmonious song of blushes, smiles, nods. and bows. -This day dawned bright and fair, but nothing worthy of note happened until the third period, when Mr. Preston, looking rather critically at Bob Coker, who was trying to explain the relation of density to specific gravity, said, You remind me of the boy who, when his teacher asked him to te'l what a vacuum was, scratched his head and said, I can't explain it, but I have it in my head'. The class was in convulsions for some time. Much dilliculty was experienced in continuing the recitation, and it has been stated with excellent authority that th effects of these now famous words were felt for several days. Henceforth, for the sake of convenience, this shall be called the Vacuum joke, and shall be indicated by V, J. V OcTomzR Today is memorable for the remarkable feat of strength that was performed on it. It happened during the fifth period that an evil spirit descended upon the Debating Club and instilled in it a great desire for evil. Accordingly, when its members perceived Mr. King, witih a countenance of virtue, striding down the street, their desire to keep company only with their own great evil led them ta barricade the dooriwith a massive weight and to bind the whole 'round with triple bras. Presently Mr. King came up and tried the door. Find- ing some resistance, he rapped and called softly to learn the state of things within. All was silent. Smeling a rat, his righteous anger arose within him. He bent down and putting his brawny shoulder to the portal lifted it from its hinges, toppling over the massive weight and bnapping the triple brass. Straightway the evil spirit fled through the window and all was peaceful. NOVEMBER During this month nothing extraordinary happened, and the wheels of state continued to turn with timely regularity and very little squeak. A certain gentleman declared that he enjoyed Scott's lfvazzlzcf, because it gave him such a good picture of conditions during the futile period. DEcE.y11a12R The schuol was honored by a visit from the Venetian Glass Blowers. They performed many interesting thingy Among them were the spinning of glass into thread, the manufacture of a glass sail boat without sails, and the creation of a wonderful ball which, so they said, would make a dime, if it were placed behind the ball, a dollar. However, Mr. King, who understands economic law very well, stated that he seriously doubted the truth of this. JV J'!7 -Many tests! This morning we had a pep meeting in anticipation of tonight's basketball games. VVe had speeches from Mr. Munch, Baxter Taylor, Joe Couch, and Lucy Page, 37 W. 592-i.ftk.E'7
