THOSE MEMORY BOOKS! I wrote upon the last page in her book A tender word of love, because I knew That she would look upon the last leaf first Ere she read the title of it through. REALISM Jimmie: I tell you that realism, even in the movies can be carried too far. Avis: In what way? jim: Why just the other day I attended a show where one scene showed the collection plate being passed in church, and the next minute I caught myself sneaking out. PRO-H1 First Nut: Hi, big boy, How feelin' this morning? Second Nut: Oh, about like the soldier that had both legs shot off. First Nut: How was that? Second Nut: Oh, can't kick. THE OMNISCIENT COLLEGE MAN The college man understands everything. He can- tell you why it is permissible for a student to sell his services as a writer to a commercial paper and still retain his amateur standing in college activities: while, if that same student sold his services as an athlete. he could no longer compete in college athletics. He will explain why it is that he can not be economical. College is the place where one learns to be broad, generous, open-minded, and large-hearted. Look at Dad at home, slaving away and ,getting no pleasure out of his narrow restricted life! Would you have him disappointed by finding that his privations have not made a real gentleman out of his son? Lest he be considered too serious minded, he will tell you that only two reasons pre- vented him from being a hero on the track. During the race he stands too long in one place, and does not change location often enough. Four years prepare him for succes-just what kind of a success neither he nor any- one else knows. But the rest of the world is even more foolish. Some will actually think that this is the spirit of the real college man. -Selected. THE CLARCOH Clarco Publisher: Glenn, where are those proof sheets I gave you to read for the. Clarco P ' ' Glenn: I didn't know you wanted them back. Puldisher: Did you think we gave them to you for souvenirs? SPEED! He: I saw one of the girls break a record running the quarter-mile yesterday. She: What did she run it in? He: I'll be damed if I know what you call 'em. PACK 0Nl HUNDRID AND FIFTY-IIX

That crazy roommate of mine gets up at four-thirty, I know, and insists on turning on the light. I don't know WHY they made roommates anyway. They're all the time wearing your clothes and making you miserable. I'd whole lot rather have an alarm clock that shrieks forth at most any unearthly hour. I ate chocolates for breakfast, and I surely am glad Pat didn't forget to send the regular box. I I :l5: All my classes are over! Thank Goodness! I was as blank as a button in all of them. I know that Miss lVIcLean thinks I haven't an atom of bright flVly roommate said I didn't, but I want her to 'tend to her own affairsl. But I hate to study. I have had two call downs already. But I didn't do a single thing! Something always happens when you are trying to be good. The only thing I did was to crawl out on the fire escape, and try to climb up on top of the dump! I only wanted to see a bird's nest, and I wasn't trying to slay a gnat, or wave at roughnecks either. The other thing I did was even less than the first. I gave my room its semi-annual cleaning, and naturally I had trash to burn: so I wanted to be very sanitary, and I took it out in the' hall and set it afire. If the old boards had been any account they wouldn't have caught on fire anyway. Now would they? I ax you man to man if that was anything to get called down for? I ax you that! I don't see why I get picked on. I am always as good as I know how to be. 4100: I tried to make out like I went to sleep, and slept all through the gym period, but of course my roommate said I was upstairs. Then I had to go down-stairs, and go throuigih with all those movements recommended for contortionists, and get two de- merits besides. Oh, I tell you I'm against all brands of roommates, from 'way back yonder. Tonight after dinner we had an auction sale. All of us came in my room, and we traded off every piece of clothes we ever owned. I traded my suit for four different things, my sweater for another one just like it only different, my new black skirt for a black taffeta dress, and my red skirt for a whole gob of truck. I surely did beat those kids! I'll admit I'm good! All that stuff I traded wasn't half as p-retty as I said. My name ought to have been Rosie Levinsky. But those kids will never know how badly they are beaten unless I tell them. and, can I keep mum? Well, you tell 'm, sign, I don't know the price. And anyway, what they don't know is not going to hurt 'em any. I have just finished a fight with my roommate-I'll have you to know, she had the audicity to say one of those little pink house shoes were hers. just like I wasn't raised up with those shoes! Oh, I wish all roommates had died when they were small children. Well, I called her 'Y' 55 'F her names, and others-so I guess I won't say my prayers to- night, 'cause if I do, I'll have to take back all I said to her, and the Lord knows she's what I called her, too. Besides, I couldn't remember what all I said to her now. So I guess I'll wait 'til tomorrow night before I say 'em again, so she can be all I called her for at least a whole day. '. a':,,f.j H.
