40 D. M. C. T. BREEZES REGARDING MIXED ROOMS EEDLESS to say, the divulging of the fact that girls were to he put in the same rooms as boys, created quite a drastic fierceness in the attitude of the male sex. It simply meant that throughout the whole school term they would, no matter which way they might turn, he confronted with the most appalling sight of numerous representatives of the weaker sex in the act of applying various cosmetics of dubious colors and qualities to the greater part of their anatomy which is to be seen above what is sarcas¬ tically called a dress. Besides the stifling effect which the aforemen¬ tioned cannibalistic indulgence has on all self respecting males, the panorama which is presented to the eye while this entirely unessential accessory is being applied to the feminine physiognomy, is very discon¬ certing to the seholasticallv inclined minds of the male students of the D.M.C.T. The modern specimen of femininity is, according to all reports, sup¬ posed to be the proud possessor of a sane and practical mind far super¬ ior to that of her sister of bygone days. This same mind is supposed .to control her actions in a likewise manner. One day of confinement in a classroom with these practical minded mortals, would arm any male with abundant evidence to shatter per¬ manently the theory that the gentler six of today is in any way different from that of former days, that is so far as development of the mind is concerned. They still are provoked to limitless outbursts of “giggling” at trivial occurrences, which are of little or no consequence to the sex of the superior intellect. It can be plainly seen that, having human beings who indulge in such a frivolous manner of deportment as stated above, allotted space in the same rooms as the males, has an unestimably deterrent effect on those worthy mortals’ one increasing purpose “Study.” However, after all this condemnation and manifestation of abhor¬ rence of the downtrodden and misunderstood females, we are forced to admit that they surpassed the sterner sex in last year ’s Oratorical Con¬ test, and again in this year’s Field Day. Notwithstanding all in their favor, we still firmly believe that they should not be in the same classrooms as the boys. —L. C. Rankin.
