Have you ever noticed that when College people arrive at Seniority, they become sentimental and talk about ship sailing on the Sea of E, the beau- ties of College life,', and all the other thoughts on Love, Spring, and Memories that they can use? Well, as usual, we dislike to break an established custom- so here goes : . To begin, we embarked, as they've all done before, but unlike the others we were not green, Ch, no! We wiped up the campus with the Sophs, and the result was so overwhelming that we were allowed only one other scrap, that is, over a flag. We may not have impressed upper classmen as being an extraordinary addition, but we were simply taking care not to give promises which we could not fulfil, so we modestly hid by the mossy stone and waitedq You can see for yourself of what importance we have proved to be. A At the very beginning of our second voyage, when our flag bore the name of Sophomore, we struck a huge and unyielding obstacle called Freshman, which we could easily have withstood had we not slipped on the covering of thick, green, country moss. We were somewhat shaken to pieces, but it took us only a short time to get together again, and impress the impudent young things of our physical superiority, for that one combat is the only one in which our crew has not brought glory upon itself and upon its Alma Mater. You have already heard mentioned as to the Hgood old days, those days when Schabby,', Frazier, Markley, Qliver and Briggs were the hope of every team. VVhen we met again after the summer calm of 1912, we found that many of the crew had left our placid sea, to hibernate in some stupid port. But 24.

' To hnd his place and H11 it is success for a man. Paul came to us from Tarkio in the middle of his career, and our influence has undoubtedly been a great help to him. CYou're welcome, Paul.D The only trouble with him is that he will try to talk. If only he would keep up his artistic work instead, landscape's had been Highbrows, and Vandy's illustrations poor men's skeletons. To Paul belongs the honor of starting the mad rush toward the Dorm,,' but either method or lack of method inter- fered with madness, for now he Steps no more. Paul's popularity is shown by the fact that he holds two important presidencies fat once. Paul's ambi- tion is to dope and slash the poor unsuspecting in- habitants of some foreign country. WILL BAILEY. 1 g Emporia, Kansas. ' g A.B. in Science Group. Y. M. C. A., Mathoniang Sec.-Treas. Senior Class. To love and to labor is the sum of living. Bill says that he doesn't give a C????j what we say about him, so we will have to be nice to him- it is too bad .to take unfair advantage of such a liberty. We do have to quote what he said about a quotation for him. He remarked in that pained tone of manner, Why do they always put in some- thing loving about me? So we'll say no more about it except to mention all there is to say on Bill's latest. There are any number of songs about Nelly and you can choose for yourself. Bill joins the hardhits just in time to get caught by' the Alla Rah. ADA BAKER. Kingman, Kansas. ' A.B. in Modern Language Group. Y. W. C. A., Alethean. ' Her fairest virtues fly from public sight, Domestic worth-that shuns too strong a light. Ada made a special trip to California this sum- mer, she said it was to visit a sister, but we know better-she was looking for the home of the Honey- moon, ready for 1915. A trip just for two. We know who the second party is, too, and why Ada said Ch, Pm not interested in C. of E. anyway. Notice her fondness for vacation when she cuts fourth hour to catch the first train east. These remarks do seem to be all Clem, but since that is the first thing in Ada'siopinion, why not? And after such serious remarks as these, we don't like to spoil the effect by saying anything frivolous. 26' K.
