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.

36 TI-IE EASTERN ECHO ,ESX iii ffm is fi f YZNYQTJ I-IE Seniors observed Baby Day , Friday, February 2, which was the day of our February class meeting. DZ, who entertained at 'N' D 'a' this meeting, requested that we all dress like babies, as they had a big surprise in store for us. All of the girls responded to the request, and wore short gingham dresses, large hair ribbons, and many brought baby dolls, teddy bears and balls to play with. At lunch time, in the gym, we all played ring and sang songs such as The Farmer in the Dell, Little Sally Ann, and many others we used to play when we were tiny tots. After class meeting, D2 invited us to the Music Room. where we danced and ate all-day suckers until about 5:30 P. M. For the past month or more, the whole school has been excited over the P. A. l... Bas- ketball Tournament. Our first great victory was when we defeated Western's team in the semi-finals, with a score of 43-31. Then the finals! Such an exciting game, however, we were victorious, 3l-28. The interclass games were also very interesting this year. The Soph- omores were victorious over the Freshmen, and the Seniors over the Juniors. The Seniors then defeated the Sophomores in the school cham- pionship gam'e, on Tuesday, March 27. The Alumnae Association entertained the fourth year in the Assembly l-lall, Thursday, March l5. The program consisted of a play, called The Trysting Place, which was pre- sented by Dl. Most of the fourth year girls sat in the balcony, and joined in the singing which was led by Mr. Woolsey. Later in the evening refreshments were serv-ed in the lunch room. At the April class meeting two very import- ant questions were voted upon. We d-ecided to have caps and gowns for graduation, and to have outside talent for our assembly, which is rapidly drawing near. A Only one more class meeting, girls! Don't fail to have 100 per cent. attendance. -Marie Obrecht, Sec. --m--qaagsp--n-- CIVICS CLUB SUPPOSE you have all noticed, grid? taken advantage of and commented upon the privilege of using the front entrance of the cars at the QT' ft transfer corners on the way to school in the morning. l-lowever, l suppose but few of you know why you now enjoy that priv- ilege. I say enjoy because certainly you are in a position to appreciate the comfort derived from being able to stand upright and having a strap all to yourself, instead of being half mashed in the congestion of a back platform. But here is how it all happened. At our meet- ing on Friday, February 23, Mr. Flowers asked Mr. Maloy of the Public Service Commission, who was our speaker that afternoon, if it would be possible for the girls to enter both entrances of the car at the crowded transfer corners. Mr. Maloy very obligingly said that he would see what he could do about it, and before the end of the next week, Mr. Flowers was notified that thereafter the motormen would collect transfers as cheerfully as the con- ductors had done. So that's that. On Friday, February l6, a fine representa- tion of the Civics Club visited the City l-lall. Among other things we saw the Fire Depart- ment and found out how the calls were regis- tered there, the rooms of the First and Second branches of the City Council, and the pictures of the City Library Exhibit. Before we left we had the great pleasure and honor of meeting Mayor Broening. -Marie Ruzicka, Sec.
