After trying for a long time to get something over the radio, be- cause the March winds were raging masing a lot of static. I was sur- prised when answerng the door neu, to see alot or my old friends such as Hi-Times and The Gleamf' And with them were some new ones with whom it did not take long to get acquainted. I told them that I nad been trying so hard to get some entertain- ment, but had failed. 1 he Scribe suggested that we provide our own entertainment. , The Mirrow described to us a musician's interpretation of lifeg which was called. The Sonata of Life. It was done so well that we were all greatly impressed. - The Garnet and White offered to sing. When we heard the melody we thought it was going to be Collegiate but no it was a parody on it. . . Latin! Latin! - . Here we go to Latin, Its as smooth as satin- O, yes! O, yes! Teacher! Stories! All make up our worriesg No one ever hurriesg No-! ' Failures! Always! Things we understand, And we haven't any use for dumb declensions A Conjugations Always tax our patience - But still our minds must fatteng So off we go to Latin. This was awarded great applause. ' The Lore told us about his idea of Manners in School, ' this caused great laughter and 'everybody seemed to agree. He then gave us some poetry for which he is noted: This introduction to theipoets column was considered good by all. - Where flows the rhyme, tltere flutters peace, Verses dominates, mortal things ceaseg Come. O Come hither. . Where Mt. Olympus tips the sky, . ' There dwells the muse--heave not a sighg - Come, O come hither. A .V School News and Normal Times entertained us for quite a while telling us about their different school activities. The Argus told its idea of how a pupil was to be a student rather than a nuisance. Everyone agreed that it would improve conditions a great deal if everybody would talfe this to heart.

I THE J ACKO' LANTERN p HAWMWM- poetry. We liked especially, A Thanksgiving Surprise and Ode to Students. The Journal delighted us all with his snappy jokes. He classed the different classes as: The Seniors are such smarties, The Sophomores are too soft, The Freshmen are such children, Come on Juniors, step od! While The Gleam says thatg Freshmen--Irresponsible Sophomores-Irrepressible J uniors--Irresponsible A Seniors-Irreproachable. The Conifer told us some splendid stories. The Birdseye then told us several stories among which were, A Christmas Gift, A Sledding Party, A Golden Reward. Every- one seemed to like A Sledding Party, the best. The M'Unite told about their new grade school building, and of the activities of their school. - B k The Flambeau told us some stories and then gave an opinion on oo s. When I try to recite in Latin , , Goodness me I always get stuckg And when I get an Algebra problem I sure do think I'm in luck. How some people get their History , Is to me a mystery. - Civics certainly is awful, I think it should be unlawful. English, well it could be worse, Although it is quite nice, of course. What comes next? I can't recall, But why did they ever book at all? The Scribe added much to the life of the party with its jokes, as did The Spectator. We all liked Annie's letter to her Ma and Pa. Hi-Times was just as peppy as always. S h iI'he Anvil gave us a description of life in East Chicago High c oo . The Beckeytonianv and The Blue and White told us their latest school news and activities. Everyone had performed and all agreed that we had a good time. We parted hoping to meet under similiar conditions soon again.
