.,,Y,. I I SONAH-2.7 1 vu Y ,. That Initiation It was a night of great sport for the Freshmen class and one of more or less fun mixed up with some chagrin and generalized agitation for the Probation class. Instead of hovering over them as truly tender big sisters the Freshmen let them herd together and get as scared as only Probies can get. They reported at the sewing room for roll call in aprons and were there divided into three sections: A, B, and C, and given directions regarding the impending coursefan abbreviated course in nursing and hygiene. Each group was properly tagged by colored ribbons around their necks. The first period was a lecture to the whole class by Miss Sexton in the lecture room. Miss Sexton, in the latest Hooligan cap and Lloyd spectacles, appeared as a most ridiculous member of the H. F. H. faculty, but a member neverfthef less and one capable of characterizing the spoken word and gesture of the well known instructor of our school. This lecture held the tone of true advice to the new class. At the close, the groups separated to their designated rooms and each went through one part of the initiation until the alarm of Big Ben sounded and the groups rotated until the circle was complete. There was the skeleton in the closet fthe little room beside the libraryj bemoaning his sins and a shot in the arm gave the thrill. The demonstration room was truly a demonstration room. There were dolls for patients and besides the three supervisors, other Freshmen patrolled. Scultetus binders were applied to doll skulls, restraints applied to French doll extremities, specimen tags filled out and sterile supplies done according to imagination, since knowledge was lacking. A group in the lecture room struggled with a true and false examination. At last all assembled in the dining room: upper classmen, faculty, freshmen and probes. A typical capping exercise was presented and the Probes were fitted to their green caps which they wore all the following day. The following pledge was taken by the entire class after which one of them responded when the class was called upon for a representative speech. Mary McConky is a ine girl and we feel sure she will be a fine representative, not only of her class, but of our school. She stepped down from the Neisser class for the evening to fool with the Probies. Refreshments were served and songs and yells closed the initiation. Applefpie beds awaited the innocent Probes, as a gentle postcript from the Freshmen.

. H . , SONAH-27 g .J , .. i ,Q SYMPOSIUM One day Lewis took his Bushey tailed dog, his tackle and Bates and sauntered down the Ali to the fishing hole. The old Abbott happened along and seeing the boyish sport, said, L'Blotnik! Qa popular slang expressionb. I hope the Olson has a good time. Being a religious man, he couldn't say the rest. He enjoyed fishing, too, but it was a Halliday and he had been Owen the Sexton a call for a Laing time. The Miller happened along, and thought to himself, 'LSuch sport is only for boys and the Goodrich. The Jollay King, Joyce beaming on his kindly face, rode past. He took off his Kapp and said, The Price of Wine and glory is too high. Would that I might Orndoff my ermine and Lean to boyish sports again. The ermine was only a small Kercher thrown over his Schoollfder, but I suppose it would have rested him Tremaynef dously to have parted with it for a while. He was about to say, Home, james, when the Cochran Plumley across the road and he was MacGrathed something fierce. He told his henchman Timrnfothy to Gill that Buby. The henchman wanted to say, 'LI should expect Yfdefgaard your disposition, but he Hummed around instead and said, Oh, Halsey, I don't want to Gillespie. I must be off to see Bessie. We have a date at the Caffery at six P. M. Tharp. We are going to drink some Mead Crecipe for same is not given in the U. S. PQ. I'm tired of being by Maloney. If I Coop'er I won't be Blue any more. Sh'Ellworthy be for me. If you want service you will have to call on your worthy Scots, the Macs, Kay, Donald and Gillvery, or Koppana and Cormackf' After this independent speech he left and the King said to himself, This Nufbjer spirit of youth is the Root of evil. The story ends shortly. It is modern, though I Grant it is as old as the days of Daniel, extending past the days of McKinley. After the henchman was married a while he got a divorce. The epitaph is simple- Love 'em and Liumf' M. U. QVYTSIIIGYQ9 BROTHER GOT THE LINGO A boy left the town and got a job in the city. He wrote a letter to his brother who elected to stick to the farm, telling of the joys of city life in which he said: i'Thursday, we autoed out to the Country Club, where we golfed until dark. Then we motored to the beach for the weekfendf' The brother on the farm wrote back: Yesterday, we buggied to town and baseballed all the afternoon. Today, we muled out to the cornfield and gefhawed until sundown. After we had suppered, we piped for a while. After that we staircased up to our rooms and bedsteaded until the clock fivedf' ak Pk ak Waiter: Yes, sir, everything here is cooked by electricity. Dr. Allen: Well, take this steak back and give it another shock. Mt? 100
