TRUE FRIEND Thou givest me nothing that men can see Or with bare numbers give value to- But every time that I come to thee, The door to thyself is opened wide, And thou art saying Love waits inside, And thou dost always believe in meg Thy giftlis more sweet than a rare white wine Or an incense burning from Araby. -D. Calpin BACTERIOLOGY A microscope, a test tube rack, Beads of sweat sliding down my back, A gelatin culture, an ugly smear, Swarms of bugs we're supposed to tear, Red-hot needles, a glowing flame, Countless bacteria that look the same, Faultless technique, gelatin to stab, Three hours a day in the Bacty lab! -L.

WHEREFORE ART THOU, SHAKESPEARE HY ON CASSIUS has a lean and hungry look. Methinks he has not had his Wheaties this morn. There isn't any doubt in my mind but that Shake' speare would have made a wonderful radio announcer? however, there is a doubt as to how he ever managed to live-that is, keep alive. just think of itl Nothing to give him a lift after a strenuous day's writing, nothing to relieve that run-down feeling, nothing to quiet his coffee nerves -not even an after dinner mint! lt's preposterous! He couldn't have existed, And then there is Ann, Mrs. Bill Shakespeare to you, who was probably whispered about because of tattle-tale gray and who probably as a result of blue Mondays, was too tired to go to the theater with her husband. And what about the little Shakespeares? Did they receive their daily lvory soap bath, their roughage in proper amounts, their bottled sunshine? I won- der if perchance Mr. Shakespeare ever had to worry about pink tooth brush and B.O., and if he were ever bothered with halitosis But then, halitosis is better than no breath at all. However, there is one discouraging fact that has bothered me lately. With Rinso, Listerine, Bottled Sunshine, and the endless procession of life's little luxuries, there has not been found one person comparable to Shake- speare. Could it be that we could do without all these wonderful panaceas? --.lean Olinger HEARD IN PASSING By M.
