'IIIIZ til.l LXXICR .ll AN INTERVIEW WITH MR. ALLMAN By BENJ. WADI-Z I-You are gaining prominence here at the school, He-VVell, I believe in action rather than words. I-How are your organizations getting along? He-Fairly well. One of the or ganizations expects to make an ex- haustive study in scientific matri- mony and in the raising of solid heads of cabbage. I-Speaking of cabbage heads, how is your science club? He-All right, thank you. . I-Do you expect to be success- ful with this club? He-Positively. Wie have had a feed already. I fastonishedj-A feed! Wfhat did you do, nourish their brains? I-Ie-Yesg and we expect to have them often, as they are sorely in need- I-Qf brains? By the way, how is your glee club? He-Some of New Britain's old maids asked me to ship them my glee club, I-VVhat do they want, worry? He-No, sleep. I-VVhy are you so despondent? VYhat is troubling you?

I-VVon't Pedro do? He-Not as good as Shapera.

Preparations are steadily going on for our banquet under the care of an able committee. Every one is busy, and we expect it to be extremely successful. J. L., tis. GLEE CLUB One of the most active clubs in this school is the Glee Club, under the able direction of Mr, Allman. The boys are making rapid strides toward the development of their voices and at the same time enter- twining the student body. Un February 18 they will enter- tain some young ladies in New liritain and are practicing faith- fully in order to make a hit XN'e regret that through gradua- Iion we shall lose Dorfman, Mag- iqini, Ellncr and Shapcra. 1 . .

Hep! with pep! boys, if you wish to become a member of the newly organized Science Club. Don't be a dreamer and let this opportunity slip past because you think it is intended for your neigh- bor. VVe extend it to you, and we hope that you shall not be slow in realizing the fact. Witli Mr. Allman as faculty ad- viser Qand to whom much of the credit for the organization be- longsj, this club has bright pros- pects for a successful existence. It was organized primarily for broad- ening the students' knowledge of the applied sciences, which are pre- dominant factors in modern agri- cultureg secondly, to promote pro- gressiveness, unity and harmony in our circle. lncidentally it shall serve other good- purposes for the indi- vidual. But to become a member of this club he must direct his ca- pacities and abilities for improved scholastic work, which would only require a little effort. but which will bring great results. This would lead him to a better understanding of both his school relations and of his future line of endeavors. To those who wish to join us. remember our purposes. Don't think that only officers and com- mittee men have their duties XVQ strive to do the hcst for one an- other. and when work has a unity it is as much so in part as in the whole. lie a live wire and this Science Cluh shall he your hat- teriesl I.

32 THE GLEAN ER BY THE WAY VVe hope that the Glee and the VV. Atlee Burpee Science Clubs will award Prof. Allman with an HF for his faithful service. In order to carry on their scien- tific investigations successfully, the W. Atlee Burpee Science Club decided to have a feed and till their bellies at every meeting. This is the only logical thing they can do to develop their brains and men- tality. The entrance requirements to the WY Atlee Burpee Science Club are: Heafd-Solid, with hair long at base of brain to conceal the spinal column, 3 units. Forehead-Exceedingly narrow and must project forward to shade the eyebrows, 3 units. .Mozetlz-Big, with a slight cur- vature, 2 units. Belly - Spacious, to absorb lznowlerlge, 3 units. llilqeslioazf-Vigorous and excel- lent. 4 units. Applicants must come provided with head gears. hibition in Prof. Prouty's room. Kaskin's talk on matrimony be- fore the XV. Atlee Burpee Science Club was highly entertaining. Our Glee Club is making great progress-in chin music. From a picture of the Glee Club which appears in this issue of THE GLEANER, it seems that their phys- iognomies are as pleasant and in- viting as their bellowings. No doubt Prof. Allman has done great things since his arrival here. but to create a Science Club out of lunkheads and a Glee Club out of a dozen barkers is even beyond his capacity. One of the brainy youths of the Science Club has already discover- ed that the calves raised from steers are very profitable. No, Gentle Reader. the 1110111- bership of the Science Club does not consist of All-man: only its leader. Plcaszint reflections - Kaslciu climbing ri willow tree.
