22 THE ECHO Jean Valjean La vie de Jean Valjean tient tant de patience, de souffrance et de sacrifice que’il me semble qu’il est impossible qu’un etant humaine en- dure. La mere et le pere sont morts lorsque il etait jeune. D’ici un peu d’annes le mari de sa soeur est mort et La laissee avec sept petits enfants. Jean Valjean La aidee comme si c’etait son devoir. II a travaille fortement, du matin au soir, de jour en jour. II etait mal paye. Sa souffrance a commence dans sa juenesse quand il a vole un pain pour nourir les sept enfants de sa soeur. Pour cette faute il a servi dix-neuf annees au bagne sous les gardes-chiourmes les plus cruels. Mais lui encore plus cruels etaient les penses de la vie de sa soeur et des septs enfants qu’elle ne pouvait pas seul appuyer. Ici a la prison il sendurait a toutes sortes de mal- heurs qui lui servirent d’education. Par Penfluence d’un bon eveque qui La aide apres qu’il est sorti du bagne, il est devenu un homme change. Dans son ame la bonte a pris la place de l’haine qu’il avait tenue vers la societe. Il est interessant a remarquer le nombre de gens auxquels il a sauva la vie. Premierement il sauva la vie a la pauvre Fantaine puis au Fan- chelement Jarvet et a Marius san compter Cosette. A la fin de la vie il a laisse une benediction aux gens qui l’avaient le plus cruellement traite. ELTON BREIL, ’25. “Guess” Uno tempore femina canem qui “Guess” appelatus est habuit. Id ad munerem canium propter licen- tiam sumpsit. Muneris canium qua- esivit; “Quidne nomen canis est?” “Guess,” reponsum fuit. Optime non augurari possum sed conabor. Respondit, “Estne Ruby; Queenie, Brownie aut Sport?” “Non, ‘Guess’.” Tamen estne, “Beauty, ‘Billy’, Major, aut Pal?” “Non, ‘Guess !’ ” Turn narratote mihi, postulavit. “Guess, is nomen canis est.” MILDRED TIBBETS, ’27. Gauis Julius Caesar Cauesar maximus ex imperatori- bus erat. Corpore validus quoque animo fortis erat. Sui amici multi erant sed Pompeio inimicissimus fuit. Dixerunt Gallicis bellis decern centum milis hominum interfici, cen- tum urbes octo et oppida capi, et centum gentes tres confici. Caesar Rhenum transivit et Italia potitus est. Vero omnes ex suis hostibus superavitque Hispania et Africa potitus est. Imperator factus est Caesar ab multis populis ama- batur dixit; “Veni, vidi, et vici.” GERTRUDE M. CAMPBELL, ’27. Teacher: “What were the dying words of Lord Chesterfield?” Class (in unison) : “They satis- fy.” Mr. Neal: “If the President, Vice President and all the members of the cabinet died, who would officiate?” Pupil (with inspiration) : “The undertaker.” Miss Megley: “What have you learned about the use of ‘had not’ and ‘ought’?” Harold: “That you hadn’t ought to use them together.” Advice to Freshmen Be wise and don’t blow your KNOWS. The distance between Edgar’s ears is one block.

Ciconia dixit se libenter venturum esse. Postero die duodecima hora ci- conia ad prandium venit. Suave prandiun expectavit. Vulpes id in avabus planis bracteis extulit. Nec- essario ciconia suo longo rostro non edi poterat ex plava bractea. Do- mum sine prandium sibi revertendus fuit. Paucis diebus ciconia vulpem ad prandium invitavit. Vulpes invita- tum accepit quod amavit invitari ad prandium. Ubi vulpes ciconiam vidit, prandium exlulit. Erat iratis- sima, quod ciconia cumse duas longas collas lagenas contentes suave prandium habuit. Hoc tem- pore vulpes molestissima erat, cum ciconia prandio frueretur. BEATRICE M. ODOM, ’26. Aquilla et Vulper Uno die apuila ab nido avolavit ut infantibus cibum acquireret. Ad terram volavit ut videret quid re- perire poterat. Subito parvam vul- pem vidit. Aquila parvam Vulpem cepit et avolavit. Postea vulpis mater domum venit. Mater dixit se infantem desiderare sed aquilam cumeo domum avolavisse. Turn vulpes ad ignem in agro ivit et bac- ulum incendentem cepit et aquilae domum qui in arbore fuit venit. Aquila scivit vulpem arborem in- censuram esse. Itaque vupli infan- tem reddidit. INGRID ROSENQUIST, ’28.
