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.

Workmen are digging desper- ately to obtain a thunder bolt which recently fell on the campus. To obtain this specimen will mean great honor to Bethany College. Thunder bolts are very rare since there are only a few in the entire world. They are made of the finest steel and it is thought that it fell from some unknown planet of the universe. Bethany feels it well worth the effort that is being put forth in the attempt to find it. Authori- ties say that it fell at the root of a large elm tree in the southwest corner of the campus during a recent thunder storm. The force with which it fell buried it far beneath the surface of the earth. A liberal reward is being offered by Bishop Wise to the person who is successful in the search. If obtained, the specimen will be placed in the Art Studio of Bethany College. Everyone is urged to take part in the search. How Long is a String? Mrs. Creelman's chemistry class has been in pursuit of the answer to this problem for the last Week. Lengthy arguments have ensued, but to date no satisfactory answer has been found. It is feared that one student has become demented from intense work on the sub- ject and has wandered from where last seen, the northeast corner of the campus. Darkness Falls-Nobody Hurt Darkness fell rather suddenly Tworsdaym, March 32. But fortunately no was hurt. This calamity has been expected for some, but on account of bad roads the bus was delayed. The lemon-colored glove which the hero wore on his left hand was greatly admired by the pedestrians. The floor creaked as the villain threw three tickets to the opera at the driver. Slowly, slowly, the power motor rolled down the precipice, the heroine emitted a hoarse yell as she spread the crackers with peanut butter. The grief stricken mother pulled the little waif from the gutter. Again, Again, Again W C rt. e 'isse Darkness fell But no one was hurt. A New Element Woman Symbol-Wo. A member of the human family. Occurrence-Can be found wherever man exists. Seldom occurs in the free or na- tive state. Quality depends on the state in which it is found-with the exception of Kansas state-the combined is to be preferred. Physical Properties-All colors and sizes. Always appears in disguised condition. Surface of face seldom unprotected by coating of paint or film of power lcomposi- tion immaterialj. Boils at nothing and may freeze at any moment. However it melts when property treated. Very bitter if not used correctly. Chemical Properties-Extremely active. Possesses a great affinity for gold, silver and platinum and precious stones of all kinds. Violent reaction when left alone by men. Ability to absorb all kinds of expensive foods at any time. Undissolved by liquids but activity is greatly increased when saturated with spirit solutions. Some- times yields to pressure. Turns green when placed next to a better appearing sample. Ages very rapidly. Fresh variety has great magnetic attraction. Note-Highly explosive and likely to be dangerous in inexperienced hands. Voo Doo 'Miss Whitton Told the Girls a Few Things Miss Whitton told the girls a few things they should remember to do on the way home. We will print part of them as we believe them to be excellent advice. 1-Be sure and never buy a railroad ticket till you are on the train. This saves great worry and inconvenience. 2-As soon as you are established in your seat, decide that the view is better from the other side of the car, and move accordingly. 3-Buy fruit, candy, chewing gum every time the boy passes through your car. 4-Make it a rule never to remain quiet more than five successive minutes, but walk up and down the aisle, to and from the observation car, and use every means to make yourself conspicuous in the eyes of your fellow travellers. 5-Talk to everyone in the car who will listen to you, making it a point to tell all your personal affairs and to bare your family history. 6-Finally never forget for a moment that your every move is of paramount in- terest to everyone on the train.
