DADY'S GONE A HUNTINH We remember a snipe hunt at Rocky Butte last year, but one of our cadets beat that this year. He borrowed a school rifle, and went out after stool pigeons. NO JOKE. Murphy, after being away for some time, rushed over to see his old friend Riley. He arrived there just as the pallbearers were carry- ing his old pal out. Amazed, he asked the first pallbearer, 'CIS Riley dead?'7 The man gave no reply, so he repeated his question to the second pallbearer with the same result, 'LIS Riley dead? The little fellow gave Murphy a look full of scorn and said, What the heck do you think this is, a rehearsal? , CAVE MAN STUFF. The mountaineers they have long ears, They live in caves and ditches, They pound their socks upon the rocks, And beat their wives with switches.

I have struggled with a theorem 'Till the world seemed dark and blue, But I know no more about it, When I finally did get through. If Geometry I finish- If I make a passing grade-- I will breathe a sigh of gladness, For the record I have made. ' You have a dollar. I have a dollar. We swap. Now you have my dollar, And I have yours. We are no better off. You have an idea. I have an idea. We swap. Now you have two ideas, And I have two ideas. That's the difference. THANK You ---------- AN ODE. I woke to look upon a face Silent, white and cold. Oh, friend, the agony I felt, Can never half be told. We'd lived together but a year, Too soon, it seemed, to see Those gentle hands outstretched and still, That toiled so hard for me. My waking thoughts had been of one Who now asleep had dropped, lTwas hard to realize, my friend, ' My Ingersoll had stopped!
