Tick Tack Toe ! Tick, tack, toe, around I go, is evidently a game quite popular at East High, for it is played by over hfty per cent of the students. The other half either have game legs or else are too sophisticated to indulge in such a kiddish pastime. The game is really quite simple. All one needs is a good pair of shoes, plenty of heel plates, and the natural ability to walk heavily. The object of the game is to walk to and fro, hither and yon, up and down East High's long, marble corridors Qbeing careful to step extra heavy when passing to and from a roomj. This is said to draw scowls and reprimands from the teachers, at which the offender is supposed to gutliaw with evidence of great glee. Let it be known that this game is not confined wholly to our great, big, husky football players. Oh, my no! for girls can play too, and do play, only they place twice as many plates upon their shoes to make audible the tiny tick tack that would otherwise be lost. No plausible reason has yet been advanced as to why they play this game, and numerous surreptitious inquiries have, to date, failed to give the much desired information. just how long this noisy little game will continue is very doubtful, although in all probability it will be in the dim remote future, for some people will never grow up but will for- ever be attempting to play little games learned during their romper days. FELIX TVILLIAMS. Long Skirts Time is passing, and with it fashions are changing. There is a current opinion that long skirts will be popular in the new wardrobe. Why should this fashion become popular again? It was fashionable once, and if it was a desirable asset to a girl's wardrobe, then it would not have changed to the other extreme so quickly. ' Imagine Queen Elizabeth, attired in one of her extremely long and fastidious gowns, running to catch a street car. She would find this im- possible, and would certainly be late to work every day. All girls will agree, without doubt, that the adopting of this fashion of long skirts would mean that more time would be required for dressing. The majority of the girls' escorts now complain about waiting. The don! ning of long skirts would certainly notqshorten this indefinite delay. But now the question arises: will modern girls be able to content themselves with today's fashions, or will they follow the new fads even if this means Wearing long skirts? We shall have to wait to see if the fashion becomes the rage. If it does, then the girls will have an oppor- tunity to show their will-power in refraining from such extreme fads. If it does not, then we have no cause to worry. Thus the old proverb still holds true, Don't cross the bridge until you come to it. . ARDIS ROBERTS. Page Twenty-sew-bu

...-... - Y ,,. 5. . Q N es- X ACIQOSS THE TABLE The modern version of Thanksgiving differs from that of the Thanks- giving of a century ago, although the general idea of the occasion will never change. This Quill portrays Thanksgiving as a joyful festivity. We have, by renaming departments and introducing new features, tried to make this edition a combination of the Thanksgiving of yesterday and the Thanksgiving of today. Around the Fireside and the Gifts of Maize symbolize the Thanksgiving of our grandfathers, but Chasing the Turkey and the humorous Pass the App1esauce! express Thanks- giving as it is in 1929. VVith this generalization we hope that your atten- tion' will be even more focused on Thanksgiving as a time for thankful- ness and joy. ' Are You 21 Thief? A thief? Cf course not. VVhy do you insinuate such a thing? ' It is a pretty harsh accusation, indeed. Is it just to speak with such elfrontery? Let's see. Of course you never disturb those near you, when you sit talking to your neighbor during home roorn period, telling of the fun you had last night or how unfair it was for Mr. VVilson to give you that four in Civics. No indeed! V You never sit in study hall drawing pictures showing Mr. Houser studying diligently to enable himself to prove that the vertical angles are equal, or Miss Patterson crying because she could not translate Vir est bonus. ' And certainly it was absolutely necessary to pass that note across the room to your friend. No time at all was taken from class when you popped your gum and attracted the attention of the teacher, who immediately requested you to donate to the obliging Mr. Wastelnaslcet. Of course, such an indignity as that never happens to any of the dignified seniorsg for they, no doubt, have so thoroughly mastered the art of chewing gum that even Miss McBride cannot detect the presence of that obnoxious confection. A noble accomplishment! But we're not all seniors. Did you ever stop to realize that it is not just your time that you are wasting, but that you are literally stealing time from your neighbor? Let's think of the other fellow, and help him all we can. By so doing, we will not only help him, but we ourselves will learn an invaluable lesson in self control. Page Twenty-nine
