WILD ANIMAL TRAPPED ON ROSE AND GRANT! Berkeley A team of famous animal trainers led by Dr. D. Braver ran down and trapped a wild creature near Rose and Grant Streets in Berkeley last Wednesday.

The Raven Once upon a morning dreary While I pondered weak and weary Over many a quaint and curious Volume of forgotten math. While I nodded nearly napping Suddenly there came a tapping As of someone gently rapping, Rapping at our classroom door. Tis the prinicpal, I muttered Tapping at our classroom door. Only him and nothing more. Ah distinctly I remember, It was in the bleak December And each separate failing ' port card wrought its ghost Upon the floor. Eagerly I wished the morrow Vainly I had sought to borrow From my dog surcease of sorrow, Sorrow for the lost A plus. For the rare and radiant grade, Whom the angels named A plus. Nameless here for evermore. And the bending, sad hard Rustling of each white card Thrilled me, filled me With fantastic terrors Never felt before. So that now to still the Beating of my heart I stood repeating ' Tis the principal entreating Entrance at our classroom door. With a tardy pupil, entreating Entrance at our classroom door. It is them and no one more. Presently my soul grew stronger, Hesitating then no longer. Sir, said I, not madam, Truly your forgiveness I implore. But the fact was I was Napping and so gently You came tapping and tapping At our classroom door. GARRELIAN INCREASES POPULARITY (finally)!
