THE TATTLER ir SENIOR SLEIGHRIDE. On the night of Feb. 16, a small number of Seniors with Miss Bain and “Dr.” Wilson (of theatre fame) as chaperones, assembled at the Electric Station, preparatory to going on a general cruising expedition. Each young lady had a pie, I do not mean her escort, but a real pie. Soon the sleigh showed up and we embarked. The next three hours were certainly memorial ones, especially for Fanny as she had to act as referee for two amorously inclined young men, each of whom was intent upon throwing the other out of the sleigh so as to have Fanny'6 attention solely for their own. Miss Bain created quite a sensation when she suddenly exclaimed with great anguish, “I just stepped on a pie.” But great was her chagrin when Bob said, “That isn’t any pie, that’s my foot.” About ten o’clock we reached Arnold Bonnell’s home as arranged and there spent a most enjoyable two hours, eating pie, sandwiches, popcorn, together with a drink of good hot coffee, which Mrs. Bonnell had prepared. About twelve we started for home and when we reached Fanny’s stop, as neither Eugene nor Clark had gained any decided advantage over the other, she allowed them both to accompany iher home. Those present were Mabel Irvin, Elizabeth Pearce, Frances Barnum, Hazel Rawdon, Marjorie Abbott, Fanny Wardwell, Miss Bain, Eugene Mason, Clark Matson, Fred Green, Bob Smith, Clifford Childs, Arnold Bonnell, Prof. Smith, Prof. Wilson.

14 THE TATTLKK used note book, scribbled a few lines therein, and hastily returned home. The next morning the professor’s laboratory was the scene of unusual activity. Many curious and mysterious experiments were performed and now and then could be heard the professor’s voice saying, in an undertone, such words as Photuris and Pemisylvanian, or. Apis, Millifica. These activities continued for about three weeks when our friend emerged, his face beaming with smiles, holding in his hand a glass jar containing a number of insects, somewhat larger than, and not unlike, ordinary bumble bees. To the questions of his inquisitive friends, he answered: “1 have here specimens of ‘Burlapp’s Everbusy Bees.’ While ordinary bees, as soon as it gets dark go to their hives to rest, till day breaks, because they can not see to work, these bees will keep on working without a stop day or night. This ihas been accomplished by crossing the lightning bug with the honey bee. As a result we have a larger bee more capable of doing the work, and besides each bee carries with it a lamp similar to that of the lightning bug or firefly, so that it can see to work during the darker hours.” The Burlapps Everbusy Bees were a success, gathering honey day and night, just as promised. While starting out to gather the honey from his bees, he became interested in a new project, namely, the production of a species of ants that would of its own accord seek out and build its hills or nests of Gold Dust. Absorbed in the thought he absent-mindedly opened a hole to get the ihoney without at first stupefying the bees with smoke as he always had before. He immediately and painfully became aware or the fact, and after clumsily tipping the hive over beat a hasty retreat into the house, where he stayed and nursed his enormous stings for many weeks. Burlapp’s Busy Bees are busy no longer, for by the judicious application of chloroform, Mr. Burlapp was soon revenged for his sufferings. He has now given up his experiments upon creatures of the animal kingdom, and is now devoting himself entirely to plants. This time he will direct his efforts to the production of a tree that will bear any desired fruit by simply changing the flavor of the water with which it is nourished.

16 THE TATTLER THE DEBATE. Friday evening, March 22, the High School presented an entertainment in the form of a literary and debating contest, which reflects great credit on the participants and those wiho managed the affair. This is by no means a new venture for the school, but has simply been revived this year, and it is hoped that it may be made a regular custom each year. The program was opened by music from the orchestra, followed by the debate, “Resolved, That the Monroe Doctrine should he retained as a permanent policy of the United States.” The affirmative was upheld by Albert Hall and Fred Green of the Smith society and Marjorie Abbott of Der Zeitgeist society. The negative by Fanny Wardwell of the Au Fait society and Eugene Mason and John Rupp of the Varsity. The rebuttal was conducted on the affirmative by Albert Hall and on the negative hv Eugene Mason. The six speakers showed the utmost familiarity with the subject, and their arguments were keen and set forth with vigor. The next was a selection by the girls’ octette who were forced to respond to an encore. This was followed by an original story by Miss Jean Eagles, the subject of which was “The Recital.” The other original story was read by Miss Harriet Stoke, “The Wager.” The first of the two orations was now delivered by Olin Doffort. The subject of this, “The Voice of the People.” Following this came a very pleasing solo by Walter Dunn, who was compelled to “come again.” “The Price She Pays” was the subject of the oration by Jay Keidel. Then came the two recitations, “The Piazza Ladies,” by Miss Charlotte Cossitt and “Mavmie’s Story of Little Red Riding Hood,” by Miss Mabel Smith. The octette gave another selection while the judges were deciding upon the awarding of the prizes. The result of the judges’ deliberation was that the debate was awarded to the negative, the original story to Miss Jean Eagles, the oration to Jay Keidel and the recitation to Miss Charlotte Cossitt. The Smith and Varsity met at last Down on the old Gym floor. This determined who was best No doubt you know the score. They battled long and furious. The game was full of vim. But from the first there was no doubt But that the Varsity would win. Little drops of perspiration. Little grains of grit. The only way to show the Varsity That we are really it. Bigger drops of perspiration. Bigger grains of grit; Thus it was the Varsity Showed who was really it. —Smith. —Varsity.
