The bus- iness of the VVelfare Committee is to discover the causes for continued ab- sences from school, and thus to foster a spirit of fraternal interest in the individual. The Chairman of the Lost and Found Committee advertises ar- ticles found and keeps them until they are properly identified. MISS DUSENBURY RETURNS AFTER LONG ABSENCE VVe are glad to have back with us our efficient librarian, Miss Corrie Dusenbury, who was injured last spring when the car in which she was riding overturned. During her ab- sence, Mrs. Rhame has proved to be a competent substitute. Pupils of Miss Amelia Dubose and of the whole school will be glad to know that she is improving, though she is yet unable to return to her work. She has been sick for several weeks. and lately has been a patient at McLeod Infirmary. Mr. Singleton is substituting for her during her absence. , COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION FINDS QUARTERS The room next door to Mr. Briggs' office, which will be 209, has been remodelled and furnished for the meeting place of the Council of the Students, Cooperative Association. A long table in the center provides seat- ing room for the members, and a desk has been installed for the use of the secretary. A chair near the desk is occupied by the member of the House who wishes to bring a bill before the Council. The two horses crossed the finish line nose and nose. But you said your horse won. t'He did. He stuck out his tongue. SONNET WRITTEN BY A LITTLE INDIAN GIRL I own 'twas so. She said I dreamed in class- VVho would not dream? 'Twas some chance word she saidg I have forgotton whatg the color red Perhaps, or just a prism through the glass. Enough to free my soul and let it pass From those four walls. Stripped of the dead Dull commonplace, singing through space it sped Above cold seas of azure and topaz, To lands whose ships lay gleaming in the sun . Laden to sail for ports of mystery: illast gardens fair, where Dido waits i for one VVho does not come, and Pan laughs secretly. Poor, cheated class that heard but chemistry, And missed the evening bells ol' Arcady. When Amelia Earhart Putnam land- ed after her transatlantic flight, she received a radiogram from her dry cleaners in America: Congratula- tions, Knew you'd make it. We never lose a customer. BONERS l'topia is a book telling 'all the things a girl is supposed to find out. 4' Stl if Teacher: Summarize the lipicurean philosophy of life. Pupil: Eat, drink and be married. for tomorrow we die. ik 11 IF The Olympic Games consisted of jumping, running, javelln and biscuit throwing. it 41 ls Starches are changed by the saliva into maple sugar, and then by the gas- tric juice mto grape Juice.
