f r i.. l ' w ifi'-911 ----of-so-s?e t Jae ' k74l,,5O ll fn' - - .s rs Life's Little Problems Why is it that Marie Hirsch always comes smilin' through? What kind of an appeal causes Gertrude Campbell to be frequently summoned by lawyers, to collect her legacies? Why should our lusty little underclassmen insist upon making pilgrimages to the holy city, much to the detriment of the clubrooms? . How is it that the Easterners have chariot races, the Southerners have bull fights, the Westerners have rodeos and we Northerners must have our snowball fights?

A. responded promptly, and soon Miss Kitty was lassoed Qsuch direful distress in that long, dangling form D, .swung far out in front of the building and finally pulled in through a window. Furious mewing echoed throughout the halls. Everybody stood aside to let Miss Kitty be borne away in a neat little satchel. Cats are usually proud, and we wonder if it might have been fear that kept Miss Kitty from reveling in her popularity that morning. One Hundred Twentyfeiglit
