THE EASTERN ECHO 33 , HE February meeting of the Math Club was an innovation from be- ginning to end. The meeting opened in fine style with the sing- wma' ing of The Green and Gold. Miss Armstrong had not yet left the Music Room and she officiated. Such a dignified and fitting prelude was followed by the adoption of the Constitution. After this important busi- ness, the club settled back in its respective chairs feeling just like a person who has given an orphan a home. The program of the afternoon consisted of some interesting talks on peculiarities of numbers. It was told what amount of com- pound interest the Indians would have received for the purchase price, 524, if it had been in- vested. The result was quite astonishing and l imagine the members of the club wished they had a penny invested in King Tut's Bond with compound interest at 6 per cent. Marie Boe gave an interesting talk on repeating num- bers. She impressed the audience with her intimate acquaintance with the nine table. Helen Nicols told about the Wise Men of Gotham, who had great difhculty in counting the number of pupils in their school. lt was suggested that study hall teachers adopt their method so a few of the students could adjourn to Gontrunfs. Anne Macdonald gave the fa- mous problem of the father who divid-ed the sheep among his sons. She made quite a hit by mentioning the Sheik, but she meant the father of the boys-not Rodolpho. Clara Wilkes 'explained a wine problem, but it only served to fill the audience with sad thoughts of the pre-Volsteadian days. Jessie Smith talked on Math as a preparation for public speak- ing. We would suggest that some public speakers take an intensive course of short method work. Ida Schmeiser closed the pro- gram with Captain Noonan's clever little story about Pat and Mike. You see, the Math Club is not always hav- ing learned mathematical treatises that are above your head. Just lately the Math Clubs of Eastern and Western showed that they could use their feet as well as their heads at a dance which Western gave us. As usual on a Star Party night it rained, but rain could not damp- en the spirits of the brave ones who ventured forth. Western had a fine orchestra and showed us that it couldn't be beat in giving parties. The Math Club of Eastern enjoys the joint meetings and parties with the Western Club. At the May meeting of the Eastern Club we will have a member of the Western faculty as a guest of the Club. Miss Lelia Smith will give her illustrated lecture on astronomy. Miss Smith has a wonderful collection of slides and h-er talk is most interesting. We expect a larger number than usual at this meeting, which will be held regardless of the weather, for rain will not affect these stars. -Edith Paterson, '23. -P--mfefsw-+ HAPPINESS T IS much easier to go through the heart: if sunshine is there, happiness will shine world cheerfully and pleasantly out and make everything in the world seem than with a frown upon your brow, beautiful. It can be derived from doing deeds and a gloomy feeling in your heart, of kindness to othersg and when you see their saab as if the East wind were always blowing, and everyone you meet were a ban- dit ready to cut your throat. Try to be the sunny member of the family, making all duties seem pleasant, self-denial seem desirable, and even disappointment not blank and crushing. Happiness depends upon the feeling of the joy, you will know it is best to look on the bright side of things, instead of the dark and morose side of things. Resolve to see the world on the sunny side, and you have almost won the battle of life at the beginning. -Mildred N. Wright, '24

TI-IE EASTERN ECHO 35 C17 egg U T it., 'fa 111. Dear Aunt Petunia: Please publish the song which starts I-Iail, hail, the gang's all here, and goes like this- da, da, dada, da, da. Nlusickal. Dear Musickal: ' I 'm sorry to disappoint you but we haven't that song on record. Can any of our readers help us out? Dearest Auntie: I have read your excellent advice to others and have finally decided to tell my trouble' to you, hoping that you will find a solution for my problems. I am sixteen and said to be rather attractive. I have plenty of friends and admirers of the opposite sex, in fact, I have had four proposals. But, Auntie, dear, all of them are so young and unsophisticatedl I know I could never be happy with any of them for I want some oneiwhom I can look up to, some one older than I arn, someone who will un- derstand my moods. Please, please help me Auntie, for I am so tired of this kind of life. I-lopeful. Dearest Hopeful: Why don't you make a visit to the Confed- erate Soldiers' Home at Pikesville? I'm sure you could find your soul-mate there if you are looking for someone older than you. I hear they have a fine assortment out there. Dear Aunt Petunia: I am so discouraged! My hair is hopelessly straight. All my efforts to make it curl are in vain. Do you know of anything that might help me? Suzanna. Cheer up, Suzanna! I have never tried this lotion but I have heard that it is ex- cellent for stubborn hair. To two cups of water add the juice of one orange, two ounces' of gasoline and a pinch of salt. Boil for thirty min., remove from the fire, and add three oysters. Seal in an air-tight jar and set away to cool. Apply every night with a toothpick. Dear Aunt Petunia: Who was Cicero? Please give me a short sketch of his life. -Sponge. Dear Sponge: . Cicero was born in Attica, Greece, in 1492. Aet the age of sir he could- say mama and papa, In spite of this marvelous intel- lectual ability, he became in his later years a famous warrior and defeated H oratius at the bridge. When his brother, Caesar, was assassinated he fled to America and was here greeted with acclaim. He participated in the battle of Bunker Hill and was awarded the Croix de Guerrel' for bravery. He was twice elected president of U. S., from 1530- 1538. He died in Seattle, Washington, 1589, at the ripe old age of 97. Dear Aunt Petunia: Do you believe that our ancestors were monkeys? -Jennie Ology. There are times, Jennie, dear, when it is impossible to believe otherwise. Dear Aunt Petunia, I met a boy the other night Whom I liked very much. I have heard that his birthday is next month, so do you think it would be all right for me to send him a little remembrance? If so, what should I send? Flapper. I should think it would be perfectly all right, dear Flapper, for you to send him something. In fact, I am inclined to think he might feel hurt if you didn't. Why not send him flowers, candy, collar buttons. mar- bles, or a little face powder compact? Dear Aunt Petunia: I would love to go in the movies. Do you think there is any hope for me? -A Junior. Dearest Junior: Have you tried yet? I understand you can get in almost any movie in town if you pay your admittance and behave properly. Dear Aunt Petunia: Why do dogs Wag their tails? -Curious. Dear Curious: I hate to admit it but I really must-I've completely forgotten why dogs wag their tails. I know my dear old math teacher would turn over in her grave if she knew that all her drilling on that very subject had been in vain.
