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.

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. IOKES What would you do if you should put too much seasoning on a poached egg on toast? Wash it off. fAsk Dunne and lVIoDowellJ. 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? She- Would you need any? You make an awful noise when you laugh. Well, I'm sorry to hear it. So is everyone else. Pessimist- Is there any milk in that pitcher? Optimist, sweetly- 'I'here's lots ol cream here. Page ei ghleen

Were you in the blackest mood you just could not resist that pleasant greeting- the result of dear Gretchen's sunny disposition. Do not mistake, she has her serious moments, es- pecially when demonstrating the preparation of soft custard. fPeople in passing think of Gretchen as a flower blooming to make others happy, but we like better to think of her as a bud, for there are many beautiful leaves yet to be unfolded.l Lum Nici-lots BIDDISON Raspeburg, Md.
