Q X H zmgry? East High likes potato soup better than chili-con-earne. Three gallons of chili will put enough heat into the students to last them at least until they can get home and raid the pantry, while six gallons of potato soup are necessary to produce the same results. ' Nine loaves of bread and ten dozen rolls on which students have spread five pounds of butter, daily follow the little red lane to destruction. Five peeks of potatoes are eagerly peeked by the same gobblers. Two hundred and eighty-eight people contentedly munch their Oh Johnnysj' while pie and cake fans consume twenty-six pies and six large cakes daily. However great the quantities our appetites require may seem, the weights are just as surprising. East High cats considerably over two tons every month. Though lunch time is one of the pleasantest periods, it is also one of the busiest, and hasn't it reason to be? Here is approximately what we eat every month: 138 gallons of soup. 217 loaves of bread. 230 dozen rolls. 253 pounds of butter. 115 peeks of potatoes. 872 quarts of milk. 698 pies. 6,62-L bars of candy. Our cooks, like Ichabod Crane, probably have nightmares of floods of soup and brown gravy on which they are stranded in the center of a frail cherry pie. They float down the gushing Hood to Butter Island, which immediately melts and leaves them again to their fate. We, however, who are safe on Bread Mountain, send forth relief in the shape of a baking dish and a soup ladle manned by six Irish Potatoes, who bring them safely ashore. There is one consolation, however, with which we can be comforted. Wle can lay part of the blame, or most of it if you like, on our faculty, because they help to devour some of this great amount of hash.,' CZDGXJ Social Service-A ttention! A very apparent need has been brought to the attention of the East High faculty and students lately, that is-a school for the instruction of ambitious eats and dogs. Not a few times the poor down-trodden creatures have been driven from the door of opportunity in spite of their honest and repeated efforts to gain entrance thereto. In fact, after a council held on Mr. Burton's back lawn one dark night, it was decided to send the most capable delegate to plead their cause before the unyielding public, and on the next morning while a picture of one of America's greatest statesmen was being shown on the screen, the bold representative of the feline and canine council appeared. He was undauntcd in his purpose, and was not in the least nnnerved by the numbers watching him, but bravely held his place where many of his bctters have quaked. Most earnestly did he plead his cause and he was greatly applauded by the spectators. Surely, it can be ar- ranged to notify Mutt and Jeff of this desire for learning so that they will turn their efforts from the Home for Blind Mice to the Bow-Meow Training School. Page Twenty-'nine

g Wi' X wzgfgfb, Do You Carry a Suitcase? Have you noticed the style? Although it is rather old, it will not soon become old fashioned because of its efliciency. The school miss' worldly goods are usu- ally earried in one bulging pocket book, ranging in size from the small change purse to the large Charleston bag. The smaller the bag the more it bulges, but the strange thing is that bags are as necessary to the modern girl's Hthingsi' as the Eagle was to the Roman legion. It would be a real calamity if, when the owner should endeavor-like the greedy man in the fairy tale who put one too many pieces of gold in his hat- to put one more stick of gum or similar indispensable article in the overburdened purse, it should break down altogether and fall to pieces like the One Hoss Shay. VVhat a revelation! I'm afraid reporters would rush, traffic would be tempo- rarily suspended, and a new police force would have to be sworn in to suppress the gathering mob. You see, the mystery of what those ever-present packets contain is so dark and mysterious and the curiosity so prompting that should such disaster befall one, a stampede would immediately ensue. Sometimes, odd shapes in suitcases appear. Pet dogs are carried to school under young mistress' arms and deposited neatly on the desk. Suddenly some- body wants a pencil and r-r-r-rip the darling pup is split open and the pencil extracted. A great fortune is in wait for some genius who will sometime eontrive a suit- case wherein everything necessary and propern to a girls' complexioin, school supplies, and hundreds of miscellaneous things will be neatly fitted into each other, indexed and filed away, so that any article may be easily brought forth at a moment's notice. RISC-SY! Meditations on the Hall Clock As I hurried along down the hall one bright day, I glanced at the clock ticking moments away, And I said to myself as I climbed up the stair, I wonder how many have gazed at you there. How many have looked on your sober old face, And wished in their hearts you would quicken your pace. But in winter or summer, through crisis or calm You ne'er hasten or slacken but keep going on. How many remark as they look up at you, 'vVhere's all the time gone? I have so much to do. And they hurry away, while you soberly muse, A mortal must hurry, each minute to use. The glad hour of victory on field or elsewhere, Or sadder defeat you have marked without care, For the maker who formed you could only impart Your two hands and a face, but never a heart. And sometimes I muse as I look on your face, VVho'll tread these wide halls as they iill up our place, WVhen we have grown old and there reigns in our lieu A new generation for you to tick to.
