Resolved- That a mysterious trio of young men assisted by a gentle- man in white hair, and a handsome young individual attired in brown, look- ing like a cowboy, were reasonably justified in braving the fierce cold breath of Boreas and then stupefying, appalling and alarming the judges to such an extent that they awarded a verdict in favor of the mysterious trio already mentioned. HAROLD NICHOLS, 1910. :AC Thoughts nf a jfresbman When first I entered Commerce hall, And this, remember, happened in fall, My little heart was glad. Oh, now I'll have some fun, I thought, Who cares what studies here are taught, These books all make me sad. Then through the halls I joyfully went, From one room to another sent To see my teachers true. But all I saw was paint and lumber, Some carpenters, here and there a plumber, But finished rooms were few. 124

batirical Iganking BUIBS HE following rules, used in the American National Bank, Chicago, are recommended to the attention of those who do business at all banks. They will be the means of saving a great deal of time and annoyance-by not following them: If you have any business with a bank, put it off until two o'c1ock, or, if it is possible, a little later, as it looks more business-like to rush in just as the bank is closing. In depositing money, try to get it upside down and wrong end foremost, so that the teller may have a little exercise in straightening it up before counting it. It is best not to take your bank book with you, but call at another time to have it entered. You can thus make two trips to the bank where one would answer. If a check is made payable to your order, be careful not to indorse it before handing it to the teller, but let him return it to wait while you indorse itg this helps to pass the time, and is a pleasure and relief to the teller. You can generally save time when making a deposit by counting your money down to the teller, as you can nearly always count more speedily and correctly than he can. When you make a deposit do not use a deposit ticket, but mix matters exceedingly. If you make a deposit of one hundred dollars, and give a check for fifty dollars, it is a good thing to call frequently at the bank and ask how your account stands, as it impresses the officers favorably with your business qualifications. ' Never keep any record when your notes fall due, and then if they are protested censure the bank for notigiving you notice. Always date your checks ahead, it is a never-failing sign that you keep a good balance in bank, or if you do not wish it generally known that you are doing a good business, do not deposit your money until about the time you expect your check will be in. A strict observance of the foregoing rules will make your accounts desir- able for any bank, and will make you a general favorite with all the bank officers. PEARL MORRIS, '10, 96 QELIJUBS jfrnm the Eagaar It was a howling success ! Mr. Gehring. Barnurr1's circus would be a Sunday-school picnic in comparison. 123

Still We were promised day by day That all the things were on their Way And they were coming soon. But thus I traveled day to day, And on account of this delay, They sent us home at noon. So after fun this freshie Went, And all his energies were bent To gain the end desired. He certainly had lots of fun, And scores of zeros soon had won, For studying made him tired. Report cards to his pa were sent, But on his way the freshman went And did not seem to care. He funnier grew from day to day, And was the gayest of the gay, And sometimes even gayer. His retribution came at last, In June when all the others passed, And freshie stayed behind. He wished then that he'd studied more. He spent the summer feeling sore, Like others of his kind. And now to freshmen he will say, Oh, don't get funny, don't get gay, And then grieve for past sins. He never more will careless be, And as for having fun-not he, For only Hard Work wins. VALERIA SCHACHA, '10, QC Julius Smith fdescribing peoplej-They begin to die and get gray. Teacher-Which first? J. S. Qarousing himselfj-O! I was thinking of trees! Some people get gray First, then dye. 125
