IIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIlIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII T HE IV Y L E A P IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHHIIIIIIIHIlllllllllllllllHIIIIIIIZ Dotty Nix Caplablegrams , The Bewzldered Child who zs imprisoned in Boarding School.-Why Seniors should be more courteous to the College Girls-Why Glee Club and Chorus are necessities. Dear Miss Nix: It is with great fear of exposure that I Write to you. I have glanced shyly at your publications and often wondered if you would be able to give me some suggestions as to how I should overcome my puzzling problem. Although I can't plead that I am either a tired business man or an unhappily married Woman, I am a lonely child in a Boarding School. At home I can do as I please. Here I can't and I don't understand just why not for my wishes are not extraordinary. Please give me your best advice as to whether I should make them realize I'm old enough to do as I please or whether A BEWILDERED CHILD. Answer-Dear Miss Bewilderment: I am sure that your problem is the most im- portant I have ever had to deal with. Therefore I have given it at least thirty-seconds careful study. As to your great fear, you are the first young lady that I'Ve seen or heard of that was afraid to have her nam ' th . Ab t th - I 1 h I should just go home. e in e papers ou e exposure one rare y catc es colds, or at least nothing more serious, from expressing one's opinion. Your shyly hints at your modesty and would lead me to think that you are the Boarding School type. But-the rest of your plea contradicts this. My advice to you is this-If you can't realize that while at home there is one of you to bang doors, to be late for meals, to shriek down the hall, there are fifty, at least, in a Boarding School with as many and more twisted ideas of a good time- so either forget or get out. DOTTY NIX. Dear Dotty: It will not be long now until I am wearing a cap and gown which signifies my abilities. Pm very much put out at present because the department of College Girls in our school treats me CA Seniorj much too condescendingly. It wounds my dignity. I'm sure that if I were given some means of putting them in their place and making them realize my importance and capabilities, life would be much happier for me. A SENIOR. Answer-Your miserable existence, which is caused by a group of older, more re- liable girls, is indeed deplorable. I would suggest as a remedy thatyou call them Miss in order that you may more fully realize the big gap between High School and College, and so that you, recognizing this fact, will no longer feel small but--merely dependent and inferior. Oh yes! Don't forget-the Sheepskin is yet in the offing and they fthe College Girlsj have theirs. DOTTY NIX. Dear Miss Nix: May I contribute to the Boarding School edition? Thank you. I wonder why we must waste several good hours a week spoiling our voices in Chorus and Glee Club. MALCONTENT. Answer-Well Malcontentg although I'm not versed in the art of songing, I will try to aid your underburdened mind. In singing you are given a fine chance to vent your bad dispositions on the Faculty. Take it and say nothing. DOTTY NIX. Owing to an eruption of Vesuvius C21 Miss UNIX has found it necessary to discon- tinue her column. Athletes Our large campus furnishes ample space for the freshmen to ride their kiddy-cars and for the Juniors to ride their hobby-horses. Teeter-totters have been installed for the enjoyment of the Sophomores and swings for the Seniors. Indoor gymnasium is given to all students two periods a week. This work includes such -games as Ring-around-the-rosy, London Bridge, Drop the Handkerchief, etc. This work is based on the special needs of the pupils as shown by physical examina- tion. Art The Art studio in the attic of Wolfe Hall is large and as well lighted as any attic in existence. An excellent collection of casts from the antique, forms a pa1't of its equipment. Dramatics . Classical dramas and tragedies such as Cinderella, The Three Bears, etc., are studied and .produced during the year. Only those students who are able to speak pieces without stuttering are given parts in these plays.

The bride standing five foot eight in stockingless feet, was beautifully arrayed in a green satin gown piped with hot and cold water and carried a bride's bouquet of black narcissus. The woebegone groom looked sad in an evening dress of purple silk cut-away pa- jamas and carried a rabbit's foot in one hand and the statue of liberty in the other. Before the ceremony Miss Hallie Tosis sang Just Before The Battle Mother on the shoe horn. The wedding services were read by the Rev. Mr. Talk Alot under a lattice of mush- rooms and pancakes.
