listening To lady Meed Ideal was a young doctor. Fresh from college, with hopes and ambitions to do something, some- thing for suffering humanity, he began his practice in a small mining town where he was an absolute stranger. Unconth and Bluff were fellow doctors. At first he hated Uncouth. He was too smart for him. After a years practice he married the local school teacher, Miss Purity. Ideal was seeking a better job than he had. As a result he was chosen as a staff doctor in a great mining center. Due to his college friendships with Candidness and Undeceit he lost a lot of patients, but before three years had elapsed he had gained them all back. In this mining center he was working on a certain honorary degree. He passed the gruelling tests and finally da:hed away on a much-needed vacation-then to Lon- don for a city practice. One evening he and his wife were invited to dinner at a former college chum's apartment, Fick- leness by naxne. Other doctors were also present, namely Deceit, Fraud, and Miserly. When they reached home again, Ideal told his wife he had had a splendid time. His wife reflected, I didn't. Why!', he exclaimed, those are smart fellows! They have fashionable offices and all the latest equip- ment. For a few years Ideal kept the friendships going with the smart fellows. At length they arranged an introduction for Ideal to Lady Meed. He was quite delighted, but did not tell his wife. The grand evening came. Lady Meed was a gorgeous society woman but her beauty was not comparable to the beauty of his own dear wife. His evening was miserable. He went home, begged his wife to forgive, and broke the misleading friendships. His wife hugged him, tears in her eyes, saying, Ideal, you are just like you were when we were tirst married. LIL.-x C. SPRUNGER Collee Houses In the days when no newspapers existed, coffee houses were the chief means through which pub- lic opinion was expressed. Every man of the upper or middle class went daily to his favorite coffee house to learn the news and express his own opinions on it. Each coffee house had one or more outstanding orators to which the crowd listened. The number and influence of these places constantly increased. Foreigners visiting London remarked that the coffee house was that which especially dis- tinguished London from all other citiesg that the cofee house was the Londoner's home, and that those who wished to find a gentleman commonly asked, not whether he lived in Fleet Street or Chancery Lane, but whether he frequented the Grecian or the Rainbow. No one was excluded from these places who laid down his penny at the bar. It seems that each profession, each religious order, each rank, and the different political minded people had their own particular headquarters, The Grecian and the Rainbow were known as the most exclusive coffee houses in London. St. James and Wills were the places where politicians gathered, and Childs was the haunt of the clergy- man. These coffee houses reached only the masculine element in the population. The language spoken in many of these coffee houses was in that dialect, which long after it had ceased to be spoken in the fashionable circles, continued, in the mouth of Lord Foppington, to excite the mirth of the theater-goers. The chief peculiarity of this dialect was that, in a large class of words, the O was pronounced like A. MARJORIE INEICHEN AND ESTHER SOMMER Twenty-one

The Senior Irip On Tuesday morning, November 22, 1938, the members of the senior class, the class sponsor, Miss Blanche Aspy, Mrs. Ruth Mahoney, and Mr. R. O, Hunt. teachers of health and safety, met in front of the schoolhouse at 7:00 A. M, With Mr. Hunt, Mrs. Mahoney, Miss Aspy, Donavin Sprunger, and Floyd Windmiller as drivers the group journeyed to the Epileptic Village at Newcastle, Indiana. We arrived there at about 8:30 A. M. Our guide, Dr McNeal, in charge of epileptic therapy, led the group through the different buildings and over the grounds. Having seen the main points of interest, we then drove to Ball Memorial Hospital, Muncie. A nurse divided the class into two groups. She and a secretary of the hospital acted as guides. The tour through the hospital was completed near the noon hour, so we went to the college cafeteria for lunch. Afterward some of us went over to the Arts Building. We then drove to the Ball Glass Factory lo- cated on the east side of the city. The molding of glass bottles in a variety of sizes and shapes, the construction of cardboard cartons, and the packing of the glasses in the boxes proved to be very in- teresting. By tlie time we were ready to leave, the members of the class had acquired several souven- irs. After amusing ourselves for a short time in the business district, we started for home. Tired but happy, we arrived in Geneva around 4:30 P. M. Everyone considered the trip and the knowledge they had acquired an experience they would not soon forget. MILDRED HAFFNER Twenty
