heavy, yet now we look back with satisfac- tion that we were strong enough to achieve and we look forward unflinchingly. If this year has held for us more of responsibility, so also has it offered greater compensation-and not the least of these privileges, and a high privilege it is, is that of knowing our teachers better, of coming into closer touch with them, and of appre- ciating how truly each one of them is work- ing for the good of the Institute. So now, with our Drexel days behind us, we look back and they seem well worth whileg the things we have gained here will help us immeasurably to take our own places in the great world outside our doors. They go! they go! I know that they go, but I know not where they go, But I know that they go toward the best-toward something great. MARJORY EELLS.

VVe always laugh at instructors'jokes, No matter how poor they be, Not because they'rc funny, folks, - But because it's policy. I-le- lf I should attempt to kiss you, would you call for help?

We can each look back to our first days and weeks here and remember how strangely like square pegs in round holes we felt, and see how gradually our sharp corners were chiselled off, and worn down, and pol- ished smooth until we fitted naturally and easily into place. Then we settled down to strong, steady work with an occasional spurt for exams., followed, perhaps, by a bit of lagging as a reaction. There were days aplenty of hard work, but with days of pleasure scattered amongst them-delightful receptions by Dr. and Mrs. Godfrey and the Seniorsg dances in the Great Court at Christmas and Easter, teas and academic celebrations, and happy, carefree days at Runnymede-all too soon that first year was over. On our return in the fall we were so happy greeting our old friends that we nearly forgot we were Seniors until the wistful eyes of some lonely Freshman made us extend the hand of fellowship. Our second year had much the same round of social activities, affairs enjoyed by all of us. As for our work, it has been.hard -and we are glad it has.

OWED I. Sara owes me fifty cents, I guess I owe her teng Nly debts are ever piling up, ln fact, I wonder when l'll ever get them all paid up Or have accounts all straightg With every item in its place, All bills paid up to date. ll. lfirst my laundry fails to come, I have no waist or collar- 'l'o borrow one has made me late, And now I'm marked Poor Scholar. Where is my note book, pencil, pen? Things that to me belong, But never in their proper place, 'l'hey're borrowed --same old song. an III. And when it comes to hats and coats Or shoes and rubbers, too, lt's Who has borrowed this or that? Or Does this belong to you? You can never find your handkerchiefs, Or have your perfume rare, If ever you want some badly 'I'here never is- any there. IV. 'l'he other day a notice came To me, I ean't believe My bank account is overdrawn, But truth you can't deceive. The cold, bare facts are there in print, lf they'd only make mistakes! llut they never do, rhat's just the point, Oh! the money that it takes. V. But even though we borrow, And we loan without a limit, lixeept for-iust poor management, I'm sure there's no harm in it. It forms a bond of friendship, A spirit of love and trustg So if you get into a hole, Wlhy borrow, then, you must. NA NC r C. II U N'rr:a. THAT ORGCRED CHEMISTRY As I sit by my lamp astruggling And burning the mid-night oil, A thought ro mv brain comes struggling, A result of my hours of toil. I have thought of this thing all evening, While l revcled in osazone- And away from my mind go streaming All the formulaic l have known. Such a nightmare. Oh, it was frightful! A disturber of the peace, I say, It had chains and bonds unrightful For my torture night and day. There it stood in all its glory grim, With its valences all four- Now plainly seen, now fading dim With attractions about them galore. But supposing, Oh, just supposing: 'l'hat from them the veil we had torn- And of bases their true nature disclosing, And acids of their mystery shorn, How Orgfrel Chemistry would be all confusion, And how upset we would be If the bonds lost all their attraction And carbon had a valence of three.
