THE SCARAB 'YRS cm, QF-iff' LIFE AND THE HUNDRED YARD SWIM At Camp VVetomachek, the Meeting Place of Friends, one of the requirements is that every girl must swim a hundred yards before she is permitted to go out in the boats alone. This may not seem difficult but it proved very hard for some to accomplish-some girls swam the required distance the first time they triedg others the secondg some girls did not make it until the last day of camp. This is the significant thing-every girl at camp swam her hundred yards! We seniors are soon to leave C. N. S. P. E. and many of us will be forced to make our own way from now on. Our school days are over-our work days are ahead. Life for many will perhaps be as easy as the hundred yard swim was-for others it will be hard. Some may reach the top of the ladder with comparatively little strugglingq others of us may never reach the top. But even if this is true, just think back to your camp days and remember that each girl's work was finally rewarded and keep trying. The little poem quoted is very simple, but the simple things are very often of greatest value to us. If you strike a thorn or rose, Keep a-goin'l If it hails or if it snows, Keep a-goin'l Tain't no use to sit and whine, XVhen the fish ain't on your lineq Bait your hook an' keep on tryin'M Keep a-goin'. A SENIOR,S NIGHTMARE Am I asleep or am I awake? Something is wrongeeverything seems confused. Anyway I must study. If a muscle originates at its insertion therefore the insertion should move. Ah! that's it, but if two muscles are reciprocal innervates of each other, why what's the use of the dictionary? Ask Dr. Zoethout or a mzdrnt. But what is a student and why should one study? Though there is madness, there is a method in it. There are more ways to cheat in college than the teachers know about. Should football be played by girls or is tiddledy- winks more strenuous? If Ruthie Cohen says basket ball is easier than hockey, then I'll play soccer. Do three dolls on one bed and four dogs on another make a dormitory? Then why don't we have soup for dinner? But I'm too tired to study that out so I'll write my thought- ful paper for Miss Musselman. What! Is that the second bell? I'll lose my privileges ifI don't get down to breakfast. AUCUTT. THE SCARAB just memories treasured Between these dear pages. In love are they measured Exceeding mere wages. How oft will we be cheei-'d When time does intervene, And pass us to the weird Unknown future now unseen. Oh, may our Scarab seal To us as to the old Egyptian priest, reveal A sacredness untold. H91 L. REIDY.

.- SA THE iQC5ARAfB MR. CELERY,S FIRST AND LAST APPEARANCE IN SOCIETY HEN Mr. Celery received his invitation to a ball at the House of Mystery he was rather undecided whether he wanted to accept or not. He was rather young and this was his first appearance at a place of this kind, but on thinking it over decided he would go and if he did not like it would not stay long. On his way there he met M11.Hand, one of his old friends, who went with him as far as the door, said good-by,'l and left him. As he was about to enter he saw Mr. Meat and Miss Potato Starch coming along, so waited to go in with them. The door opened and they entered a small room at one end of which was a very long corridor. At once Miss Saliva came forward to receive them. Mr. Celery, not knowing her very well, did not receive the warm reception Mr. Meat did nor get the close embrace Miss Starch got, and began to feel left out and to wish he had not come. However, he waited until Miss Saliva had finished her conversation with them and they all passed down the corridor into the large red room in which the other guests were assembled. Here they were received by Mrs. Gastric and her two daughters, Miss Pepsin and Miss Rennin. Mrs. Gastric was simply overwhelmed with joy at seeing hir. Meat, while poor Mr. Celery hardly received a how-do-you-do. After a while the dancing started. This did not add much to his comfort as he did not know a great deal about dancing. He made up his mind that the best thing he could do was make himself as inconspicuous as possible and just watch what was going on. He noticed that Miss Saliva was still monopolizing Miss Starch until some one introduced Mr. Hydro- chloric Acid to her, and he soon showed Miss Saliva that her presence was not needed any longer. During the evening Mr. Celery next saw Mrs. Bile, who was beautifully gowned in green and golden brown, standing in one of the door ways. She did not seem to be having a very good time so he went over to speak to her. He asked her if she cared to dance, but she said she was taking a last look at the dancers before she left for her home which was in the outskirts of Liverpool. She had left her two small sons, Biliruben and Biliverdun, at home with their Auntie Mucin while she spent a few days with Mrs. Gastric, and she felt that she might be needed at home. Mr. Celery felt rather disgusted that he should be having such a dull time so made up his mind he would just go up to people and make them talk to him. He wandered around and finally went into an adjoining room where he was introduced to Mr. Pancreatic, who in turn introduced him to Miss Amylopsin. After a few minutes' pleasant conversation with her he passed on. He then came upon Miss Fat and Mr. Steapsin earnestly conversing on the subject of the formation of soap. A After listening to their conversation for some time he sauntered on and came upon Mr. lnvertase and Mr. Erepsin. Knowing that they were both interested in the converting of cane sugar into dextrose and levulose, he asked them to tell him something about it. After a Very interesting conversation in which he learned a great deal, he decided to go home. Not wishing to be seen leaving so early he started for a winding stairway which he had noticed earlier in the evening and which he thought led to the back of the house. Wfhen he got to the bottom of the stairs he found a door through which he easily passed out unnoticed. ' Reprifztml From UR6jIl71It'U '15 A isoi
