LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor 1-Wie offer our sympathy to 'll, for not having any memo- rials for your book. Wfe fear that it is because you were Hdead ones long ago. I U1'1de1'gi'adua-105. Ear be it from such. Wfe are just in our prime, but we don't expect you children, who have hardly begun to live yet, to realize it. However, we thank you for your thoughtfulness.-Ed. Dear Editor I-vlNlllCll eye did the Owl wink when the astronomy class went up on the roof? Ilzterestcci. The other eye.-Ed. Q Dear Editor :-l-low could llfilkinson be so sure that the ribbon on Mollies hair came off a candy box? Civics Class Probably he was the donor thereof.-Ed. Dear Editor I-XfVllO took Emelia to the Brown-Penn Game? In q1,zz's-litiifc. We canlt answer anything so personal, besides, she won't tell us.-Ed. Dear Editor :-Vlfhat made some of the senior girls so cheerful that first declamation day? The Ozflzcrs. Mabel anticipated the blue atmosphere likely to prevail at such a time and brought a heavy box of square chocolate pills with plenty of cocoanut in them.-Ed. Dear Editor I-XMB never heard of a square pill. -lust what is it? The Rest of the Board. No one else did, we presume, until now. Wfebster says a pill is a medicine shaped like a little ball. A medicine is a tonic. Now, these particular pills were a tonic strong enough to make cheerful faces on elocution day, therefore a medicine. But they are solids so they must be pills. The cube shape is original, thatls all. Do we make ourselves clear ?-Ed. Dear Editor :--W'asn't it rather unusual to put the freshmen right in front of the platform on November ninth? lf the Seniors donlt want the place we ought to have it. Jimiors. Be calm, those were the seniors, but they were trying to show the Freshies how very young they looked.-Ed. Dear Editor :--Hadn't something ought to be done when Cora declares that lf, comes before I in the alphabet? ll y0l'I'lt'd. Of course it' is a little queer, but Miss Peirce says a poet has to be queer. so we will let it pass, at least until the poem is safely printed.-Ed. Dear Editor :-lllhere did Sammy get such a lovely quotation? lt is far nicer than any of ours. 7-VIL' Other Iifiyx. Alma, limelia, and lnez had charge of- the hnishing of the personals. XVQ have to guard against personalities in this department. but will say that ncitha-r .Nhna nor Emelia gave it.-Ed. 53
