Our parting message is, Boost the Cue next year. The success this year is, in a large measure due to, first: XfVi1lard Strong, who has performed in an efficient and painstaking manner the duties of business managerg second, to Edward Handy, who as assistant editor, has been an invaluable aid, third, to Theodora Barentzen who has contributed exceptionally good articles and who has. by her care in editing her department made our work easierg fourth. to Miss Strong, our faculty adviser, who has cheer- fully and accurately corrected all work and given much attention to many details which go to make a magazine successfulg fifth, to Mr. Thompson, who has made the athletic department a real report of games, and sixth, to Miss Lee who has kind- ly taken the no small task of type- writing every article for the press. VVe extend our sincere thanks to eachg and also, to all others who have in any way helped. Editor.

8 THE CONY CUE GETTING ALONG WITH COUSIN JAMES I had heard a great deal about my IHOIIICIJS cousin blames and I must confess that I never heard very much good about him. He was very quarrelsome. He thought what he said would settle the question and he didnlt like it if any one else made known his opinion. Wlieil my spring vacation came, as my brother had the measles, it was arranged for me to go to Cousin James for a week. It certainly did not look very pleas- ant to me. Cousin James met me at the station and on the way he contradicted every thing I said and he even suubbed me when I expressed an opinion. I had never met his wife and when she same to the door, her face full of smiles, I wondered how she could seem so cheerful. That week was one of the most important parts of my going to school for I was all the time studying, trying to see her way of getting along with Cousin James. It really was wonderful the way she did it. WVhenever he said a kind thing or did something nice for some one, there would be a little look of pride come over her face. He would look surprised to find himself so much admired. It was only that she kept looking for and seeing the best things in Cousin James that she could over- look the disagreeable things. By the end of the week I never admired a person so much as his wife. The funny part of it was after I got back to school I began to try her way of getting along. I think that if you try to see anyone's good points and not so much of their weak ones you can get along with them, even Cousin James. Susie NVaugh, '19. THE LESSON THE POSTER TAUGHT It was a warm afternoon and Mary was sitting in her seat, angry because the teacher had reported her bacl-:. As she sat there she began to wish there was something else in life to do besides studying. just inside the door of the room was a large Salvation Army Poster with the words on it, A Man may be down but bets never out. This poster seemed to attract Mary's eye, she thought it funny she hadn't no- ticed it before. How lovely the woman looked holding the child. As May looked at this her thoughts drifted to the fields of France. She had had three brothers in the war and they all had returned home. All the stories they had told her of the Salvation Army came back to her now. I-Iow they gave the boys tea, coffee, doughnuts and tobacco, when they came from the trenches. I-Iow May wished she could do something for them besides giving money. Soon all the cares of school life had left her and she was far away in dreamland where she could hundreds of Salvation Army Lassies making doughnuts and coffee for the doughboys. As she was Cl1'CZl111lIlg thus, she seemed to hear a voice say, Mary, why were you so saucy to your teach- CContinued on page 123
