He was one of us and a most eHicient co-worker during the early and forma- tive period 'of the Institute. 'He was a wise adviser in the construction of the school buildings. He helped much in bringing to the work the confidence of the public. 'His reputation i n the city of Chicago as a wise conserverand administrator of public trusts went far to assure those interested in education' that the donor's wishes and plans would be car- ried out.' For many years he had been prominent in Chicago's school welfare. The knowledge and judgment thus acquired he brought to the aid of Lewis Institute. We honored him as a colleague and loved him as a companion. His memory .as a man of sterling integrity and rugged business principles will not be forgotten. He is a part of Lewis Insti- tute and will always be held as such. He will be sorely missed by the community. To his family we extend heartfelt sympathy, feeling that their loss is infinitely greater than ours. That our deep regard for him 'may not be forgotten, this appreciation will be spread upon the perma- nent records of the Board. NNUAL U Else L E W S A NIMIELA f .e 45 7?

' Senior Engineers REPAREDNESS, which has been the national slogan for some time, adequately defines the condition of the minds of the 1917 class. This preparedness, though perhaps not military in its nature, fills the members of the class with a -feeling of suc- cess even greater than that which is felt by the Allies at the present time, Unlike that of the Allies, however, our desire for success and our determination to succeed are accompanied by a profound sense of gratitude, a sense capable of expressing to the faculty who are responsible for our preparedness, the gratitude of a class which con- siders its training second to none. . On such an occasion as this, any attempt to express our sentiments fully would indeed be 'feeble without some mention of the extraordinary get together spirit 'which in a large measure has been responsible for our success. Numerous dances, smokers, dinners, and theater parties brought the class together several times outside of school. 'At such affairs as these the faculty was always we-ll represented and the spirit of good- fellowship was heartily entered into by all alike. ' As a class, confident of what the future holds for us, we take this final opportunity to thank most heartily all those who have helped to make our school life at Lewis a success.

The prophecy has been fulfilled. A For a number offyears the Classical Club had' been -without a home. ,Q Mr: .Hana cox, pitying the poor, homeless, classical orphans, offered them a temporary shelter in his Lat-in and Greek repository, but you see- it wasn't home.

Miss Blanke designed and made the stencils forthe curtains, and advised us concerning our decorations. Dr. Tenney used his political influence. Political influence plus Mr. Hancox got many things done,,a.nd carried the work through to completion. We' Classical Club members are proud of our faculty advisor, and we hope he's proud ofus. The oilicers are popular-for officers. The last quarter they were re-elected to oilice for the third time. Everyone was pleased, even the oflicers. ,lVIr.

Two members-have charge ,of the program.. each week Qwe are .studying mythologyl, but sometimes Mr. Gradolph forgets to get two members, and then he's one of the victims. Then everyone wonders who just escaped. Our regular study work is very interesting, and our special speakers, Prof. F. Miller, Prof. F. E. Brimblecolm, Dr. V. O.

In this magic world of mine Our Betty has a modest sign, Inscribed -thereon we see M, L., In letters most as big as she. Thora does her level best To please the whims of all the rest, The lunch-tray line inside her place Gives ample proof whois won the race. Miss De Lagneau had enough ' Of teaching French to us poor duffs, And so she opened up a shop . To sell fresh cookies with cold pop. For Mildred Smith, I needn't guess, The meanest critic must confess, No other actress he has met Deserves the praise our darling gets. Our other Mildreds, R. and D., Whatever else they hoped to be, Are rulers of that haven, home, And two more men have ceased to roam Esther is a restless soul, She makes the stars her distant goal, And for a living writes a bit, Reporting makes the biggest hit. Miss Souhan is a valued friend, To every one she's glad to lend A helping hand on gifts real nice, Providing we can pay her price. Marjie Sharp, a.nd Clara too, Do their best for me and you, They own a movie picture show Which has no equal, that I know. The latest word from Pearl is this,- Theta news I surely miss, But ranching is a strenuous life, Especially for the owner's Wife. Arline went into politics, And Frances took to raising chicks, The one is now a senator, The other counts such things a bore. Purdie likes things military, Tha.t is why she chose to marry, Out of all the men she'd meet One of Uncle Samis cadets.

The Council is now three years old and is gaining in favor with age. The fall rushing season opened with- an informal reception for all girls and was the best thing of the sort we have ever given. The Mardi Gras, which was given in January for members only, was also a great success. We are looking forward to a whiz of a beach party, and hope to start the new council out with a clean slate, and a gcod store of enthusiasm and good will for the work of next year. p KAPPA PHI DELTA PI-ll KAPPA THETA Helen Woodruff-Vice-President Louise Lahr Lydia Weille A Clara Surrell Bernice Smock-President Mildred Smith SIGMA BETA THETA KLAHOVVYA Florence Driggs Jean Rich Margaret French-SecretaryTreasuzer 'Nellie lfberts Mlneta Hefmmg Jeannette Nlillcr Ninety-tfwo .

There has been a fine spirit of fellowship and loyal support even though our concert work took us away from Lewis, and usually in bad weather. Under Uncle George's direction I ' a high musical standard has been maintained and with Pape to lead the stunts a hit is always assured. The Opera is of course the chief interest in Glee Club circles and promises to give opportunity for several aspirants to shine as light-opera stars.

V THE LEWIS ANNUAL i191'l The Girls' Glee Club , Another Successful.year for the Girlsf, So Lewis has said in years gone by, and so we feel sure, Lewis will say at commencement time this year. At least we have done our best, and our best is indication of Uncle George's good training and the ' ffort of twenty-one girls But it has not been all work! Everyone of us looks sincere e - forward to the rehearsals from one Thursday to the next, and as for the opera-well, is there a Lewis student or alumnus who does not know the fun connected with the preparation for a Cook and Hughes production? This time it is to be Quar- antined which the two Glee Clubs will give early in May. We promise that it will be evenimore popular than The Idle Idol and Sara from Syracuse. Thanks to Miss Simmons, Uncle George, and Miss Gilmartin, we, together with the Men's Glee Club, were able to give three very successful programs Cso our kind friends sayj-one at the Millard Avenue Congregational Church, November 23, one at the Douglas Park M. E. Church, December 7, and the third at the Fourth Bresbyterian Church, March 13. Each Glee Club contributed one number to the festival at the New First Congre- gational Church, March 22, and although the boys, as usual, received vociferous applause for the f'Gartenhaus and Rooster', encores, one of the music critics said of our work, Ie never heard more exquisite shading than the girls of the Lewis Glee Club put into their two numbers. On the whole, the best we can say is that we hope that the Girls' Glee Club of 1918 will have as fine a time and as kind friends as We have had.

H -. I l ll 1 I l Lewis Institute Chorus I . f I There are few, even among the most faithful chorus members, who realizefhe high quality of leadership required in achieving worthy results with a large group of untrained voices, and the amount of nervous energy necessary for the director to accom- plish anything in a short time. Only Uncle George Tenney with his effervescent optimism, his unflagging enthusiasm, and his thorough musicianship could have mastered the situation this year. A volunteer cho-rus of young people, unorganized and utterly unconscious of anfy responsibility in the success of their concert work, will fret and chafe under the yoke of hard work necessary to the accurate and intelligent singing of difficult music. So when the intricate score of The Swan and the Skylark was 9 handed out, .blank dismay and something akin to utter disgust were everywhere f registered. Nothing daunted, Uncle George began the task, and on Nlarch 20th- he I ll reaped' the reward of his painstaking efforts, at the concert given at the New F Irst Con- Ii l' gregational Church. The auditorium was completely filled and the audience most enthu- siastic in their approval of the work of chorus- and soloists. A miscellaneous program was given on Thursday of the same week, and the chorus contributed one number from f the Swan and Skylark, and The Heavens 'are Telling, from Haydn's Creation. l . . . ' Altogether the year's work has meant much, not only to those who partIcIpated In the li ' . singing, but to the whole school as well, in the stimulation and uplift effected by these l musical activities.

Judge Botal, the man who married a dumb wife, was sorely grieved because his wife could not tell him how much she loved him. He summoned a great surgeon, who, by means of a saw and other formidable surgical instruments, gave Catharine, the dumb wife, the power of speech. But alas, if Judge Botal had been sorely grieved, he was even more sorely vexed, for his wife completely monopolized theeconversation.,,f1fhe harrassed man again summoned the great surgeon. Powerless. to still the womanis tongue, the only relief he could offer was to make the Judge dumb by means of a powder injected into his Judge's ears. Unable to hear his wife's endless stream of words, Botal smiles peacefully while his wife chatters fmadly on. The play ends in a merry dance where all the troubles of the poor judge are forgotten.

In fact, it is more on the map than ever before, as it has increased in size from five to six houses, and from forty to fifty girls. The :fall term started off with a rush. Our first party was a backwards party' given by the old girls for the purpose of showing the new girls that our life is not all work. At our first house meeting, it was decided that we needed a mechanical musical instrument, as most of us are too busy stitching and baking to spend much time learn- ing to be Galli Curci's or even to play ragtime. lVIoney being necessary for the satis- faction of this want, we gave a show, a burlesque on Lewis Dramatics of 1916, and lled it The Lewis Crazy Quilt. We think it was a huge success and so do a few other -people we know of. Through the influence of our friend and advisor, Mr. Woodworth, we were .enabled to get a 55110.00 Brunswick machine for 570.00 fthis is not advertisingj, and we then had sufficient money left to buy about two dozen good records. A little later in the fall term the new girls gave a kid party for the old girls, and even our dignified seniors and faculty were forced to don short dresses and knicker- bockers. Soon after this the dormitory was turned into a very exciting, noisy County Fair, and our halls and living rooms were thronged with men and girls. This was our first At Home of the year. The term closed with our usual Christmas Party. Ar a very festive breakfast on the last day before vacation, we each received an appro- priate gift accompanied by a few explanatory lines of poetry. This is, to most of us, ca the best party of the year. The valentine reception for College women, and our second At Home were the only large affairs of the winter quarter. However, time did not drag, for there were many popcorn and fudge parties to say nothing of skating. VVe also acquired, through great efforts on the part of a few, and attractive fudge kitchen. The .spring term has but started, and we are already planning picnics and beach parties, and organizing baseball and tennis teams to fill in the spare moments of these last few short weeks. A One hundred eighteen THE LEWIS iANNUAL F 19172 : The Scholarship Debate 7 .The scholarship debates are three in number. The fall and winter debates are preliminary to the final debate which occurs in the spring quarter.

The three best speakers in the final debate are awarded the scholarship prizes, the first prize covering tuition for the freshman college year at Lewis, the second prize tuition for two quarters, and the third prize 'tuition for one quarter. The debates are open to any student in the final year of the academy.

However, the use of the apartment is not limited to social affairs. Miss Livings- ton's academy class meets there frequently. On Monday and Wednesday afternoons, housekeeping classes .-of younger girls come in from the public schools, and studentsxin Home Economics do Work in practice teaching. The Walls of the apartment are opened on Wednesday and Friday afternoons for the purpose of enlarging the Home Nursing laboratory. g T A The Home Economics peopleare allowed the use of the apartment Whenever it is desired. This privilege is appreciated, as has been shown by the fact that the key has been obtained by a number of people. You who have not yet seen the practice apartment are urged to get the key from Miss Hood, ascendbto the sixth floor, go through room 83, then through room 82, and if you believe in signs, follow the one that says This Way to the Apartment, and you Will be privileged to enter by Way of the kitchen door. You may then obtain inside information on the subject of the practice apartment. WINIFRED PLAGGE. TWH x Th?- I .5.'U1JJ' One hundred tfwenty-tt-wo I I' THE LEWIS ANNUAL I 119172 The Practice Apartment Of the many interesting events that took place at Lewis Institute during the past year, not the least interesting, to the Ho-me Economics students at any rate, was the opening-of the Practice Apartment on the sixth Hoor. Due to the combined efforts of a great many people and to the 'ingenuity of those who planned it, the long wished for practice apartment became a reality during the autumn quarter. H The planning and fitting up of the apartment was accomplishednalmost exclusively by home talent. The only work that was done by people not connected with the school was the la.ying of the hardwood Hoors inthe dining-room and living-room. To Miss Grace Hood belongs the credit for the making of the Hoor p1an.i , The structural Work was done by Mr. Bowen, who made use of such-unpromising materials as wallboard and old doors. In addition, Mr. Bowen built a very attractive cupboard for the kitchen. Mr. Johnson and his men installed the radiators, plumbing, and electricity. Mr. Ingersoll and his brother did their share of the workby painting the- walls. Miss Heap and Miss Blanke designed the furniture. Miss Blanke decided on the color scheme for the apartment, and designed and painted the panel over the fireplace. The dining-room furniture was made by the boys in Mr. Ross' class. M-iss Livingstone and her academy class planned the dishes, the sup-plies for the kitchen, and the cleaning utensils. This class also pain.ted the supply cans and put oilcloth on the kitchen table. The girls of Miss Hood's Household Management class spent many happy hours painting the dining+room and living-room furniture, and making curtains, table-runners, and cushions.

S. 0712 Hundred tfwenty-sitx' t THE LEWIS ANNUAL Football :: 1916 The Football Team, under the able coaching of Ralph Shiley, became' a machine to be feared. We started our season with Saint Viator's College of B-ourbonnais, a strong team, and suffered defeat at their hands. Next we met the strong Northwestern team of Naperville. We started with a drive, Elliot Timme recovering a fumbled ball and running the length of the field for a touchdown. We then kicked goal. Lewis held this lead for two quarters, and then because of injuries to members of the team they piled up t-he score. Wheaton College, our most deadly rival, defeated' us as they did the previous year, but we'll get them next time. We met De Kalb- Normal next, and our team weakened by injuries, took another defeat. i . ' Now the worm turned, for we no longer suffered defeat after defeat. Our. first victim was Culver Military Academy of Culver, Indiana. Deac Spencer, with the aid of our stone-wall line, kicked a perfect goal from the forty-fiveiyard line.- He did it again later in the game, but the kick was not allowed. We have played Culver for the last three years, and with the exception of the last, year, have lost by over- whelming scores. This victory was all that was needed to give the fellows confidence in themselves, and after that they showed it. In succession we defeated De Paul University and Y. M. C. A. College. In each of these lastlthree games the Blue and White team was a team to be proud of, for they gained at will and worked like a machine. V ' The following Saturday the team journeyed to Lake Forest to play the Academy, but through some misunderstanding, Lake Forest withdrew. The lack of ,this practice upset the boy's team-work, and resulted in defeat at the hands of the sailors of the Great Lakes Naval Training Station on the following Saturday. This last game at the Naval Station proved to be the most successful in spite of our defeat. We took a large group of Lewisites up with the team in a special train. Our students showed their true sportsmanship, and incidentally enjoyed the trip immensely. The Editor thinks that had our schedule been arranged differently, so that our strongest opponents would have been played at the end of the seaso-n, it would have been much more successful. j One hundred tfwenty-fifve -...Z L... lui JI!! - Fi'- ,,,-gizg +G, f 'fQf 'q-21-f---aisauf---f--1 bf 'H' - -' - d f-A i' v T l Q , . .

To Nick belongs the credit of a successful season. c X g A The last game of the season was the most interesting. Wfheaton and Lewis played off the tie at,the Gymnasium of the First Congregational Church. The Collegians came down here to lick us so bad that we would never forget it, but what happened the Whea.tonites will always remember, for we snowed them under, '55 to 19. The boys started with a drive that stunned Coach Robinson's lads, and they never goft started. Freddie Stilwell went wild throwing fourteen ringers, while Nick, Becker, and I-Iusk held the Wheaton forwards to 6 baskets. Palmer played this game Cin spite of the fact that he was illl and scored 6 baskets. In the last few minutes of play, our whole college team was taken off the floor and our Academy Team substituted, and the youngsters madealgood showing. While the score was one-sided, the game was an interesting one for the spectators, for Wheaton died fighting. - fanuary 8 Lewis Institute ...... . . . . -. .32 De Paul University '16 sanuary 12 Lewis Institute ..... 33 Wheaton College . fanuaryi '17 Lewis Institute ..... 42 Crane College fanuaryl' 15 Lewis Institute .... ..... 5 1 Lane College . .. fanuaryf 23 Lewis Institute .....

Our guardrpositions were held down by two of the scrappiest guards .that Lewis ever' saw. Mialloyi and Becker the two regular guards mingled at little football with their 'knowledge of basketball and before theend-of the season they had developed into guards of the smashing type, that usually got what they went after, a pair of men feared by every conference forward. lVIalloy's loss at the last of the season-because of injury to his brother-was sorely felt. Helping out at the guard position-s were Bennett and Bartke. Bennett is a man new to the game, but with a little experience he will be a good one. Bartke has had the experience, but lacks the weight, and in a year or so will be a valuable man.

A week later We redeemed ourselves by walloping the Marshall High Team, last year's champs, 24 to '10, ln the next game Crane put up a stiff fight for three quarters, holding the Ponies 15 to 15, but we finished the game 22 to 15. ' At this time of the season our scheduled games bega.n to be called off by the various lightweight teams for one cause or another. No games could be scheduled, so We had to tackle heavy-weight teams. Downers Grove defeated us 24 to 20, O-ak Park Heavies, 21 to 18, and then we lost to the West Side Senecas, 22 to 20. 1 We again tried to meet the lightweight teams, and were partly successful in that we scheduled another game' with M'arshall Lights, who in the meantime had been cleaning up everything in sight. But they called this game off. - A 2 Though our percentage of games won was not high, we had a good team, and would have ma.de a record had we been able to compete with teams in our class. With a few of the men coming back next year, we hope to have a winning team in 1918. G. W. BASEBALL Candidates for the Baseball Teamipresented themselves at Captain lVIagrady's call early in April. The men sta.rted in like big leaguers. They began very slowly to take the kinks out of their arms, while Captain Magrady and Ex-Captain Nikolas cautioned them to take things easily. Six of last year's regular team reported. They a.re Magrady, catcher, Nikolas, third base, Maun, shortstop, Ross, center field, lVlcDaniels, pitcher, and Novak, second base. 'Then the new material appeared, and it looks now as if all the holes are certain to be plugged up in first-class shape. Wilson, undo-ubtedly, will hold down first base, and that makes the infield intact. Holliston, an-o-ther newcomer, looks as if he would be the teamls mainstay in the box. He has plenty of speed and curves, and a good head. With Magrady behind the plate and Wood to help him out, why worry? There is a dearth of material for the outfield.. Ross, Stillwell, Davis, Copley, and Steele, are the men for the positions. It is likely that Magrady will have to shift these men according to the pitching. Lewis may expect a second championship team this year' s. G.

It is interesting, for instance, to know about the hike along the Des Plaines River and the camp fire that they built when they stopped hiking, and the roasted weenies', bursting over the flames. It should be interesting to every girl to know that on Monda.y afternoons, for thirty-five cents, she can go swimming in water, well, water deep enough for diving and shallow enough for wading. All this water is at the-Hebrew Institute. See Miss Warren about it. f The girls have been very enthusiastic about the basketball games, and there has been some very fine playing. There have also been some jolly skating parties to the Dreamland and ,Madison Gardens. Although this motto may not be as dignified as befitting the worth of the club, we hope it's true, and let's all follow it. The more girls the merrierf' AGIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION HICK PARTY Among the many activities in which the G. A. A. Girls have participated was the Hick Party held in the gymnasium, March 15. It was in the hands of the social committee who planned a very enjoyable party. The gymnasium was decorated in green and white. ' Upon arriving, the guests were provided with eat checks. Entrance to the various side shows were gained by those who were skillful enough to ring the cane, etc. Constant surprises were in store for the girls, chief among which was the appear- ance of Nellie Steneck, Marion Purcell, and Marion Doty on the scene. All cos- tumes- were original, and in many cases the girls were difficult to recognize. The afternoon was spent in dancing the Virginia Reel, Farmer in the Dell, the round two- step, and social dances. At five o'clock all dancing was stopped, for the eating of juicy hot dogs and delicious coffee were in order. After all refreshments had been con- sumed, the dancing was resumed and continued until the party broke up. Everyone had a jolly good time and we were all sorry to see the party come to a close. A It was a big success. GIRLS' BASKET BALL Basketball practice began soon after school opened last fall, and every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, from 3 to 5, enthusiastic girls hurried to the gymnasium. During the two quarters thirty-nine girls played at least once, but only those on the teams were faithful to the end. The Academy was not represented this year, but a new team was organized by the First Year Domestic Economy Girls.

Besides that, they are good, healthy subjects for experiment.

Alth-ough of a strongly Protestant family yet he was of the democratic liberal element that considered the Italians also humaif. He therefore came purposely to mingle with his race. Jerome Theobalt spent most of his time bathing. When taking walks or going to his hotel he seldom removedl his bathing suit, it became him very well. At first he felt peculiar in this attire, but he soon became accustomed to it, for did not all the others look comfortable in their bathing suits? ' Jerome was a brunette by nature, but through bathing he became so sunburned that the Italians mistook him for one of their brothers. 'This worried him little, for he knew that sunburn was healthy, and furthermore, that it would disappear within three or four weeks. Oneday he had a very pleasant surprise. A beautiful dark girl gathered courage and asked him to what race he belonged. I am an Italian, Jerome instantly answered, thinking that now he would have some fun with her. The girl drooped her head and looked thoughtfully into the distance. As he detected her graceful figure, her large brown eyes, her wavy hair, a peculiar fore- boding penetrated him. Why are you so thoughtful ? she suddenly asked, raising her eyes toward him. HI? Oh nothing! Why are you so thoughtful ? he asked good naturedly. Because I'm thinking, she answered with a sweet smile, revealing teeth like two rows of pearls. What is your name P he asked. Bianca Olivero. And yours P Geronimo Theobaldof' Geronimo and Bianca soon became acquainted. He soon learned that Bianca was well educated and intelligent. He was bewildered by her wit, manners, and be- havior. For hours they sat together near the lake discussing life and letters. The more Jerome saw her the more he was charmed. It went so far that he felt a spark of love had stolen into his heart and glowed with remarkable quickness. But. the thought of her being an Italian girl jarred his system. An Italian girl! To fall in love with an Italian girl! He fought with himself and tried hard to re- press his feeling. He soon took his departure from Bianca. Probably we shall never see one another, she said sadly. Why 'never'? we may meet again, he replied encouragingly. Four months passed during which the two regained their original fairness. It was through correspondence that their hearts were brought closer. Finding it impossible to dispense with the thought of Bianca, he decided that he must see her. In reply to his letter in which he expressed great desire to see her, she allsolrevealed her anxiety to meet him, although he could read fear and doubt between t e mes.

Didn't you publish cruel jokes about the faculty? Didn't you lie merrily to everyone about every- thing connected with the Annual? Didn't you let horrible typographical errors get past you? Didn't you make mistakes, careless mistakes, in names and pictures? Didnft you do all of this and more ? The Editor admitted all this, but with the nerve acquired on the Lewis Annual Staff, he answered right back: I know Hell is the place for me. I have been con- signed there many times by Lewis students, but take heed. For months I toiled till midnight every night on that book. I talked 'contributions' till my throat was raw. A I wore out three cameras getting the snapshots the students refused to get for us.

Here, with the first inklings of spring, come the Floaters-the Bums-the mentally, morally, or physically unfit, those who are whipped or have given up. It is not any love of Nature that brings them here, to sleep on the unyielding ground, with the star-shot sky for a iblanket. A flop in a lodging house costs ten cents. Flops in the park cost nothing but interruptions by cops in the Park- ' A trip among these men is profitable, and reasonably safe, provided one does not look too prosperous. Here one may meet many and- varied types. Many are extremely dirty. Most are mediocre. But a few are interesting. Such a one I met pacing back and forth in the early morning with his eyes burning holes in the darkness, while the occasional curses of the disturbed sleepers sounded a march to his nervous foot-steps. It was impossible to judge his age, but he conveyed the imgfpression of having existed an eon. His clothes were well brushed and neat. Apparently he had kept them so more from a nervous desire to be busy than from a feeling of pride in his per- sonal appearance. His hands were a mere frame-work of bones, over which the skin resem.bled wax, and in texture and finish showed a dull shine-a subdued glossiness. This skin had been stretched too tightly. The life--the give-had now gone from it and it displayed crumpled wrinkles. , His hair was a thick mop of coarse sprouts, as white as a fresh linen collar. The skin of his face was pulled over a hook nose and had a thin slit cut in it through which came his voice-a neutral, colorless thing. But his eyes--l As deep as pits, there seemed to be always smoldering in their depths a living fire, which, in his moments of stress flamed into a sword-keen blaze that made one draw back in horror. They told of a wasted life and a torturing conscience. After we had been introduced by a mutual friend-Lady Nicotine-he told his story. It was commonplace enough. A brawl-the other man threatening him with a gun-the struggle-the shot. The other man was killed. He was freed from the tempo-ral law through the agency of the courts. But his conscience would not let him off so easily. He seized me by the shoulders and shook me back and fourth. Since that time, he shrieked, I haven't slept. I've tried drugs-booze-everything. They're only fuel throwed into the blast furnace and they flame up and make me remember worse than ever. Doctors-faugh! I went to one, he told me to get rest and quiet-to go to some resort in the mountains. Rest-mountains-etc! His voice dropped from its high pitch abruptly, broke and ended in a moan. He dropped on th-e ground, and covered his face with his hands. His body was convulsed with a series of great shudders. ' . I bent over him, grasped his shoulders and helped him to his feet. Come, I said gently, your troubles are at an end. With me you may find nepenthe. I will take you to the brink of the river Lethe and there you may drink deep of the waters of forgetfulnessf' The rising sun had cut a red gash through the great lake. Looking in his eyes I could see a kindred light reflected-the dawning of a wonderful--almost un- believing-hope.

That, however, should not be a drawback to you. We'll do it. We're not afraid. VVhat should you like as a souvenir? It was done in such a jesting way that no one but the girls thought of it again. They decided to go, and left the next morning. The trail took them along a bubbling creek that wound its way around and over many stones between high walls of colored rocks. Here and there, these jagged sur- faces were softened .by the green of scrub oaks and pines, and service-berry bushes. Over all was a canopy of Cerulean blue, that color so characteristic of western skies, that makes the blue of our skies seem thick. Finally they reached a place where they left their horses and riding skirts and proceeded on foot. Far above them they saw their goal-at the top of an almost per- pendicular rise. Undaunted they set out. Kate led, taking one of the-two paths that lay about twenty feet apart. Suddenly Katherine found that she had stepped a gulch filled with pebbles.

I 'Dukei Mor1ey's Observations on the s Subject of Cats Y'know, the other morning, in C0mPfmY With two Of my dqilr fellow students, I was breathing the delightful perfume generated by the combustion of one of those distinctly individual soul comforters, my own brand,. y know, imported ,directly from Arabia. One does get so tired of these cheap. American cigarettes, don t you think? Quite sol However, as I said, we were standinglin 'the alley.Hjust around the corner from 'R0bey street, when I observed Camenisch, Little Une he is called, coming down the alley from Winchester street. His manner was cautious, naypeven secretive, as though he would Sneak upon tlrevenemy unawares. Imagine my trepidation when I saw that it was Spiefliflg Whom liny -was stalking! As fast as my trembling limbs rushed to the Dormitory back yard, and opened my mouth to spill the cry of warning, trembling, as it were, upon by lips. But that ungrateful wretch harshly silenced me with a violent' gesture. Ah, then, l.was .mi.staken. .It was the Doctor who was in ambush, and Little Une the unsuspecting victim!

I leaned upon the Dor- mitory fence to watch the impending struggle. would carry IUC, I Simultaneously they sprang at each other's throats--in a vain attempt to capture between them a lonely black cat sitting on the fence. The cat, rudely awakened, beat it across the Dormitory back yard, directly toward me. Now, the Cilt that thinks he can get by me merely by humping his back and running fast, forgets that I am the champion speed marvel of three continents. I.Vhy, only the other night I saw two beautiful stenographers go by the Y, -but that is another story. XVell. thought I, I shall show these doctors how an Iingineer would catch a cat. So I took after the black cat. Owing to the fact that I could not go through a small hole in the fence after him, I had to content myself with a handful of fur from his tail. By this the cat knew that someone was chasing him, so he lengthened his stride and tore down the alley in earnest. Just as he was about to pass the private alley, I should say the am- bulatory, two Dormitory fairies stepped around the corner. Then they jumped straight up, dropped their books, clutched each other and shrieked. The cat. confused by two pairs of high boots in his path, depressed his clutch. shifted his gears. and swung the helm over to negotiate the turn to the north. A laudable action on the part of the cat, except that he forgot the inertia forces to he expected in such cases. He was headed north, and his footwork was excellent, but he couldn't get traction, so he kept on going west. And those two crazy doctors just leaned on the fence and gasped for more breath to laugh with. There was but one thing for me to do. XVith the gallant manner which always possesses me when in the presence of the fair sex, I recovered the lost books, and, books in one hand and the other gracefully extended in a conciliatory ges- ture. I approached the two mischief makers. Pray do not he concerned. my dears: Your F0mP9-fly W0llld repay us for the loss of a thousand mere cats, said I, in my most soothing tone.. To my surprise, they clutched their hooks as though to rescue them from 2lCf0l1iZ2l21ln2ltl0n, and almost snorted in their wrath, if I may use such a word. 'iH0rrid things! I heard as they stiffly marched into the Ilormitory: while I, I regret to say, was so hurt and astonished that I fear my appearance was aiiything but dignified. One hundred .fefventy .

There are many of them who are worthy of being im- mortalized by our talentful pen in Lewis Annuals, but I shall present only two. To begin with, let us inspect the pessimistic fthe Right Honorable Registrar's characterization, Skorodin. This fellow is the most negligent and inaccurate fellow you ever met. For instance, he never comes to class with a pencil, or if he has a pencil, you may be quite sure that his pencil has no sharpened point. x Dictation, class! right to work! I Skorodin is alarmed. O Mr. Ashley, for friendship's sake, have you an extra pencil? 4 He is usually not supplied with a pencil by his fellow classmates, and he runs to Miss Miller's desk. There is much seeking in the drawers until Skorodin finally gets a pencil. In the meantime, about fifteen minutes are wasted by the whole class. And the members of the class pray in the depth of their hearts: Oh, if Providence would provide all our classes with three or four such students, there w0uldn't be time to spell Macaulay with four mistakes, and in consequence we wouldn't be dismissed from Doc. Lewis's English Class. A In vain are the directions and 'warnings of the iHSt1'uCt01' that the due themes should be handed in on the scheduled time. Mr, Skorodin, will you read your theme ?'f L 1 x Eh-h-, I haven't rewritten it yet, I'll hand it in by tomorrow.

In spite of this, a goodly number-about f-our hundred-assembled on the top floors of the La Salle when the dinner hour came 'round. Familiar faces were everywhere. Faculty, former students, the wives and husbands of former' students: all surged 'to -and fro, laughing and talking gaily, until the last tardy guest or member had- arrived and the signal came for proceeding to the dining-room. .

When the courses were over, the presi- dent, Dr. Leigh Patton, introduced as the toastmaster, J'udge'C. C. Kohlsaat, chairman of the board of trustees. Of the speakers may be mentioned especially Dr. Frank Gunsaulus of Armour Institute, who, though far from well, defied his physician in order to be present and bring his messageg Thomas Kane, a venerable but exceedingly virile member of the board of trusteeesg LaVerne Noyes, the baby member of that same board, and by no means the least, our director, George N.

As resolute as Marie and Ellen were in their belief that ice-cream was beneficial rather than detrimental to the human system, it brought about no change in his firm decision. It wasrthe twentieth of July, the heat was intense, and one could hardly resist from indulging in all sorts of cold foods, tha.t sooner or later would probably upset the digestive system. Marie and Ellen Bryan were spending the summer up in northern Wisconsin with their father, who was one of the wealthiest land owners in that state. His, two beau- tiful daughters. of the Gibson type, were his sole companions, his wife having died some years before. Father Bryan, as he was called, was at all times the head of the house- hold, and the only financier. Marie, the elder of the two, just twenty years of age, was a college graduate of Madison, and was busily engaged in social obliga.tions, while Ellen, eighteen, was enrolled in the academy at Madison. Both girls were perfect fiends for ice-cream, but since it was the only restraint their father had ever put on them, thy felt in duty bound to regard his wish. ' As the story goes, it was toward the end ofjuly, and Mr. Bryan was seized with a severe attack of quincy. The doctor near by was consulted, and as the case grew worse. advised ice-cream for the diet. Not for me, was father Bryan's only reply. Steadily his case developed, and another doctor was called who assured him that nothing else could be retained on his stomach but the ice-cream. Nothing remained but to give it by force, as he gradually lost his strength, and his throat was in a horrible con- dition. Mairie walked one mile and one half to the drug store up town to buy some ice- cream, and was introduced while there to Jack Timson, son and successor in business to the late New York ice-cream manufacturer. As may be seen, it became necessary for one 'of the girls to go- for ice-cream a second time, and suffice it is to say Mlrarie went so she might meet her tall, stalwart friend. As Cupid planned it he was always there when she arrived, and so was his bright yellow roadster. 1 Mr. Bryan soon regaine'd his health, and it was no longer necessary to- coax him to eat ice-cream, for it had already become a part of his daily menu. Jack's machine could be seen almost any evening in front of the Bryan residence. ' Father Bryan spoke one evening of his old college chum. Roy Timson, and wondered if any relationship existed between him and Jack, who quickly remarked that that had been his father's name although in college he had always been called Shorty. Jack's father had been dead several years, and time having separated him and his chum Bill Bryan had thought the other to be dead. No less a question than tha.t of marriage did Jack ask of Nl-arie after a long courtship through the summer. .With the glow of youth in her sparkling blue eyes, lVIarie approached her father one evening and asked if she might see him alone. Of course most anything was fayolralgle to Dad and he readily consented, not knowing what the topic of conversation mig t e. Father, she began, her voice trembling, Jack has asked me to marry him. VVill you consent to 1t?,, , Well, he replied, as though he had not expected it, if you feel that you really love him, I shall consent, for I feel that Jack is a fine fellow and to marry an ice-cream manufacturer IS to marry a great benefactor of humanity.

It has been necessary to enforce the rule that when a Muttt Party is held at the Olympic Theater Friday evening no Mutt shall present a ticket for'Saturday afternoon at the Illinois Theater, even if the door tender does pass her in. Such an act exceeds the bounds of msittum. ' This to show 'how strict the re- quirements of this organization are. Qfficers? Oh, yes-there are two Feibc Hgih Ttum-and Yraterces Ttum-but what's the use of giving their names when you can find their pictures so easily on the opposite page? The club is considering the advisa- bility of inviting B. L. T.-or is it P. B. K.?-to become a mutt-honorary member. The matter will be voted on at the next business meeting. At present the roll of mem- bers is as follows: - I Scorores in Facultate Sister Mutt Honorificabilitidinitadimussquitransmagnificatbandanjuality Golden- rod.
