The basketball candidates would consider it a great favor if those who eat their lunches in the locker rooms would throw that part of their fodder, which they do not care to consume, in the barrel provided for the reception of the same. It would ease the consciences of some and also keep the mess in a general locality. C. E. ’18. GET BUSY. The greater part of the student body are congratulating themselves on passing safely over another mid-year exam. But, as usual, there are several who stumbled at the obstruction. They were not prepared. Fellow students, let this be a lesson to you. Do not find yourselves unprepared next June, and then curse the faculty. You might be fortunate enough, with a great deal of cramming, to prepare yourself in the last two or three weeks, but nine times out of ten, it will not work. So let me warn you. Get busy. Run no chances. Now is the time to begin preparing for that final exam.— next June. C. K. ’18. SIMPLIFIED GRADUATION. In previous times, until last year, graduation was always an elaborate affair, and much money was unnecessarily spent on fancy dresses, flowers and other extravagances. Last year the graduating class adopted a very sensible plan, and instead of spending their money on elaborate clothes, the girls all wore white skirts and middies, while the money was used for a delightful and instructive trip to Washington, under the chaperonage of Miss Kahler and Mr. and Mrs. Matson. This year, more than ever, as our country is now at war, economy is being practiced everywhere by nearly everyone. Once again the time of graduation is drawing near and with it the annual discussion among the Seniors of “What shall we wear?” Last year’s class all voted that they could not possibly have had a more enjoyable graduation, and this year, although perhaps on account of the war a trip to Washington might be impossible, would it not be

Have you a bank account, or better still, a Liberty Bond? If you have, you are all right. If you haven’t—what is the matter? A fellow without a bank account is like a mono-rail car without a gyroscope. He has nothing to keep him moving steadily. There is positively no acceptable excuse. There isn’t a man in this country who couldn’t have some sort of a bank account if he wanted it. And then he could invest it in War Savings Stamps, and help the Red Cross, and thus become a good and worthy citizen of this great and glorious Republic. So stop the leak in your purse and give your financial aid to a worthy cause. Do it now lest you forget, and you will never regret the act. J. H. '18. HONOR ROLL FOR SECOND QUARTER.
