He tells you all about his labors, How he's tried to teach his neighbors, How to plow and reap and mow- And the kind of crops they ought to grow, Part of his iife's been spent in a measure, Diggin' holes in the ground seekin' treasure, He failed in his ventures so we've often been told, And made a fizzle of huntin' for gold. I'd like to see Blocker assume a poise And then remark unto the boys In a boasting manner it seems to be That his Lordship's height is tive foot three 5 He talks of Creation and things that are rare An' tells 'bout Dorothy jilting him in his prayers. He says Cain went to the Land of Nod as he was bid And the Lord pitied him, so made him a wife from a rib He says Adam an' Eve'd never been to College, So they ate an apple to gain most of their knowledge, By refusing everything Blocker 'll fail XVe liken him to Jonah who swallowed the whale. Again we'll turn to the impatient freshmen, There's not so much left to say for them, 'Showalter's so stuck on Esther He thinks she is the stuff, But he found that little Carl C0uldn't call Ches Miller's bluff. YVe all wish him better luck however, For we realize it is now or never. There is our Beau Brummel, Herbie Brown, XVe'll regard him on enlightened ground, Herb was in Kokomo last time he wrote, But that don't prove he ain't in Terre Hotel He may be goin' south or snoopin' round, The state road house- Nobody knows just where he's at, Except that he ain't at home.

I'd like to take a spin with Laughlin An' see him at his grand maneuvering At his steerin' wheel- Some folks don't think a lot of Jack- -Makes his rivals all in love stand back Jack used to be strong on coon huntin' He'd hunt most anywhere .... , in fact He's walked a hundred miles or more, YYithout pickin' up a track. I'd like to hear O'Dell tell another lie- Some of them are so blame serious They'd darn near make you cry, I've listened to that crazy fellow Most all the day and half the night, I've seen the sunshine in his face XYhen some guy had led a pedro, An' old XYill has got the ace. I'cl like to see old Roy An' have a talk with him, I'd ask him if he was for Kate, Or on the other limb? I 'spect old Roy's for Ruby, He's opposed to all the rest, But considerin' all his troubles Roy always does his best. l l l ll ll NIH H ll! I I I llllllllllllllllll IH

Having within these lines, I'll not longer linger, Three cheers for 'em all, they're the humdinger. -OXVEN SEANEY. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Street Scene-Peking, China It is evening, and all the narrow streets are filled with pleasure seekers. A young Chinese couple are loitering in the entrance of a Pell Tong Theatre. Ah! my pretty maiden, let us see the new picture. lt is from America. See they call it the Eight Famous Americans. Yes, yes, those Americans! The-y're so wonderful, responded the maiden. Th ey enter. The picture has just started, there are a double line of International trucks in front of a Hue brick building. lt is the head of the Great Central Creamery Company. Here are the officers and the president, Miss Erma Cooper, Queen of the Business XYorld. Hundreds of feet of film flash by showing the amazed Chinese the magnitude of the enterprise headed by Miss Cooper. Here is a scene in a large class room of a Southern University. Miss Edith Mitchell, instructor in foreign languages, is being featured. Miss Mitchell is regarded by the foremost critics as paramount among all French instructors. The next reel brings the whole Chinese audience to its feet. lt is an especially produced film of the last game of the nineteen-thirty XX'orld's Series. The New York Giants are battling the New York Yankees. The game is a joke. XYhile the Yankees are at bat the Giant gardeners all drop in Morris chairs and ring for a coke and fags, like regular fans.
