4 THE ROSTRUM About nine o'c1ock I begin dread- ing the very thought of retiring. I sit, or rather, lie down, in a chair and try to decide whether or not I should go to bed. After investigat- ing both sides of the question and de- bating on it in my mind, I decide to do it. I turn off the radio and go out into the kitchen to get a lunch to eat in bed. I get a good supply of crack- ers and turn off the light and stumble back again and up to my room. Ev- eryone else is asleep by this time so I close my door and proceed to un- dress. After I have on my pajamas and robe and have slipped my feet into my slippers, I sit down on the bed and eat my fist full ovf cracks, and then put the remainder on my desk and turn out the light and get into bed. I don't any more than get settled before I feel very uncomfort- able and wonder what that is that keeps pricking my back. I turn over and I feel as if a thousand little dev- ils were sticking pins into me. I get up again as quickly as I can and in- vestigate the cause. I find about a half inch of crumbs all over my bed. After brushing ffor a minute, I de- cide to go downstairs and get the brush broom and I wanted a drink of water anyway. Cracks always make me dreadfully thirsty. After I have the crumbs cleaned 'away I get back into bed. Even now it isnlt so very comvfortafble. I toss and turn for a long time and my mind wanders from one thing to another, like, I wonder if I turned off the water when I got that drink ? Oh, well, KeeWee will be home in two or three hours and he can turn it off then. Gosh! I never thoughtg the sink may run over and flood the kit- chen. Ha! Ha. I'd like to see brother's face when he walks in and finds himself knee deep in water. I wonder what I got in my Math testg that last problem was awful hard and I don't think I underlined the an- swers either. Oh, I guess Miss La- deau' can find 'em all right. I guess she finds a lo-t -of papers just as bad as mine. Gosh. I wish I could go to sleep. I've heard of counting sheep as they jump a fence. I guess I'll try it. Let's see, no-w, here they come one two three four etc. four hundred-four hundred one- Gee! I wonder where they all go after they get over the fence? That reminds me I was going to finish that picture I was drawing tonight. I only had a little bit more to do on the fence. I can do it tomorrow-I am going to take a lesson Saturday anyway and I can get it done before then. No-, I can't eitherg I'm going' to Bangor with mother and dad. I wonder what the movie is going to be at the Opera House Saturday night. Maybe it's Rumba. I'd like to see .that movie awful well.-I hope we get back in time so I can see Border Town g that is going to be a great picture. Oh! Oh! I didn't go to the library tonight and I've got to have my book report done for next Tues- day.-Now what was it she told us to get, a novel or a-a-? Then I go to sleep. The next morning when I awake I can't re- member for the life of me what I was thinking about last. And some one said it was so hard to get up in the D. Washburn '37 HOW SCIENCE HAS AFFECTED WAR Science has made war far Worse than it used to be in the olden days. A far greater number were killed in one big battle of the World War than in two or three battles of the Civil War. What is the cause? It is modern science. Science has given us bigger and better guns which fire morning!
