And they must know the day and month When Nero crossed the Rhine, And tell just where the Ku Klux -Klan First used the 'Fiery Sign, Or tell how Barber 'Washington Once trimmed the British Lion. In Mrs. Sevy's history class. ' They have some fierce debates, Reviewing all the worlds great wars And quoting names and datesg For knowledge in an outline form They're giving special rates. They know just when the Prince of Whales Committed suicide: They know when Galile died, Any they can name the man who first Invented Herpicide. There's just one thine those histor- 'fstudesn Must never, never know- Their outlines are not read at all, - They're all sent down below. And the man who fires the furnace knows Exactly where they go. Where we'1l meet lots of friends we know-

Society THE reception, given Qctober 5, was the first social event of the year. We could hardly recognize our gymnasium, which was gaily decorated in many colors and festooned with blossom-laden baskets, suspended everywhere. The evening's entertainment was enlivened by several up-to-date and classical selections by the newly-organized orchestra. The only inharmonious note in an otherwise perfect evening was the fact that the frosh were compelled, by dire threats from the sophs, to wear tacky clothes. Delicious refreshments were served. ' A Hallowe'en party, given in the basement of the city library, followed in due time. All the guests came masked. Although expecting shrieks, moans and weird apparitions associated with such an occasion the actual reception exceeded all expectations, and is beyond description in diabolical horrors and breath-taking frights. After the general unmasking, with its surprises, varied forms of Halloweien recreatons were introduced. Refreshments were then served. All the revellers joined in proclaiming it a de- cided success. What was probably the most important social event of the whole year was the for better or for worse agreement reached by Miss Grace Bamburg and Mr. Reuben Frank on our great na- tional holiday. April lst. The ceremony at the home of the bride's parents near junction City, was everything that such a ceremony should be. Instead of the conventional wedding march. the organ- ist plaved that well-known masterpiece, Reuben, Reuben. I've Been Thinking, and followed this with The Leap Year VVarn- ing. bv Burgoyne. The word 'fobey was used once, but was noticeably absent in the bride's vow. After the ceremony a mixed quartette sang Amazing Grace and for an encore gave Reuben's Swan Song. When the happy couple got back to Columbia they were given a royal welcome-being stuffed. first in the dining room and after- ward in the College hearse which was immediately dragged up the Main stem by forty corn-fed Cayuses. The cavalcade kept step to a soul-stirring tune, melodiouslv renderedqby a band of fiftv oil-cans, seven circular saws. and the old College bell. Through- out the ride Mr. Frank and his bride seemed to be firmly attached to each other-even when they stopped at the Fountain 'to set 'em up they could not be separated. President Shangle says that such attachment is all too seldom seen nowadays. Yes, it was a real social event. Page Seventy-Five

A General Shaking-Up THE Walla Walla Valley had a private earthquake early Sun- day morning, january 6, which caused more or less misunder- standing among those vvho had not been informed in advance that a quake vvas due. When the first loud rumble and shock hit the Dorm, Presi- dent Shangle thought it was john Black coming home from Free- vvater, but vvhen the noise and shaking continued he was certain that Leland Robe vvas once more chasing rats through the attic with a bunch of brick-bats. He bounced out of bed and started dovvn the hall. By this time there was quite a bit of activity on the second floor so the President ran up the steps to that floor. There is a large box near the top of the stairs which is used for vvaste paper. The first sight to greet his eyes vvas a pair of small heels sticking over the edge of this box. lt proved to be Vera Forbis vvho explained that she got scared and started to run down the hall. just as she came around the cor- ner Miss Bishop, vvho was going the same way, passed her and upset her in the Waste paper box. lt vvould not have been so bad then except for the fact that Vera crammed her head into ten or tvvelve vvads of second-hand gum. Princess Pat had rolled out of her bed and then rolled under it, for the only thing she could think of was that she had left the electric iron turned on again and it had burned through the board and hit the floor. Miss Colbert said the noise didnlt frighten her a bit as she thought it was just Ross Parks at piano practice. One result of the earthquake was that everyone was able to get to Sunday school on time, so another quake was ordered for the next Sunday. Page Seventy-Seven
