X ...nav N I f ...,, A person ean't lie dignilied and yet he addicted to the haliit of serenading young ladies at ten o'clock on their lwalcony. Isle ought not to he accused of eating a whole pan of fudges if he is as lean as I am- unless Ed-u-ds made the fudges. He can't be a flirt and yet go with the same girl as regularly as I do. He can't lie lazy and yet be an Index editor. More- over, he can't have a good record in everything that he attempts if he attempts everything. How diverse are the opinions of us students! Do not believe everything you hear hut allow tifteen-sixteenths for exaggeration.

I know if it should be sent thru Chicago and Boston it would make a hit in at least one of the places. But I must stop saying those sad wordsg I might have heen there. :XLICE P. VVA'1'soN'. at The Sapphonian Society attords many and various opportunities to our girls. By means of the commit- tees many lines of interesting work are carried out. A girl with a special interest in Literature may join the Literature Committee, while one interested in Music may join the Music Committee. The great advantage of the Society is in the fact that a new committee may lie formed at any time. IIELEN DELANEY. J Of all the memories of our Normal days, the pleasant faces of our pupils will ever stand in the foreground.

GE1eJRGE B. KENDAI.l,. .al 1Vhat shall I write? I don't want to have any of my wise sayings put in print where every one may read them. But ah, me! these Index men! It is only eight days a week that I am told, Now, you write an editorial, or we-'ll write a 'daisy' for you. IDAISY A. SKINNER. 19 It may be true that there are some people in Southern Illinois who say i'dea and right smart but, my dear friends, don't smile when Egypt is mentioned just because others do. Of course we do not have glacial drift and our corn rows are not so long as in Central Illinois. but our hillsides produce fine clover, wheat and apples. 1Vith all due respect to th1- young men of the senior class, I should like to add Cthis is for the girlsj, that the young men of Southern Illinois are by no means a minus quantity. 13ER'l'RUDE O. SXVAIN. To those I leave in the 1, S. N. U. I-Sll'lCC the Index editors have given us a chance to say what we please. I'll proceed to give some advice. My advice is to the girls, and is, that you join the Girls' Glee Club if you can, even if it is necessary for you to drop a study, for you can have a good time. even tho' you do have to work hard. Above all things else in your singing you should consider the matter of volume, for if you 1lon'1 have Y-O-L-L'-KI-lf, your harmonized voices and inelody amount to naught in the opinion of our P11-s11l1-111. 111.1113 Po1.1,o1'K.

A. M. Niswrox. e9 The faculty of the I. S. N. U. does not appreciate the many disadvantages Bloomington girls have in getting to Normal to do rhetorical work or to attend the lectures and receptions. Bloomington girls should he excused from attending these or provision made for hringing them out. The girls lose the chief advan- tages of school life. They hope some plan can lie adopted to aid them in attending these functions. Mr. Holmes, as a committee of one, should he ap- pointed to huy an automobile-hus to make trips to and from Bloomington on these nights, expenses to he defrayed by the Faculty. BIYRTLE D1sBRow. .99 Studies are finished at Normal, and yet, after all, it is rather a sad thought. But then, look hack over the complex mass of subject confronted and overcome.
