A mouse clzews at a pantry shelfg A clog begins to liowlg I go to bed all by myself, And never even growl. Abodes Fences were rnacle for Cats to sit on. Mats, for dogs to lie. jungles were made for lions, For birds, tlze bright, blue sky. Meadows were made for cows to graze For jisli, tlie merry sea. But lzouses were made for cliildren, just lzlqe you and mel Tlie Minp The mop in our liouse is so useful. We use it for 'most everytliing. . Y . For a liorse, and L1 pig and a cannibal in. wig, And for liousecleaning early in spring. V Seventyffour MARGARET HAFER

We, the Class of Nineteenfthirty, being of sound and disposing mind, after careful deliberation upon the uncertainties of this life, particularly in the next few months, do therefore declare this our last Will and Testament, and accordingly do bequeath and bestow in the manner following: I PART I To Miss Illman, a class of students who will bring along their professional attitude in their trunks. To Miss Thorpe, a girl with selffelectrification to successfully relate stories. To Dr. King, noiseless notebook clips that do not disturb the statistical mind. To Miss Portia Miller, a Hling case for her notes so that she will not mix them and talk about birds under wild animals. To Dr. Oberly, those Senior brains to whom the final exams proved fatal, for purposes of experimentation. To Miss Bertolette, the ability to decipher the difference between our plaids and stripes. To Miss Baker, a felt lined gymnasium floor for those girls who insist upon wearing street shoes. To Miss Motheral, a few animated contributors in each class who are ready with detailed illustrations ftrue or untruej. To Dr. Russell, a group of highfminded individuals who do not go around carving their initials in the saltffrost on the windows. To Miss Florence Miller, an extra class period each week to provide time to cover all the work scheduled in the course. To Mr. Hammann, some one who can play Liebestraum so as to save time and energy in music periods. To Mrs. Davis, a class of agile tongued girls who can rehearse those many little exercises for the correction of speech. To Dr. Weyl, a group that can think of new excuses for being late other than the old one of having stopped in a drug store after gym for delayed breakfasts. To Mrs. Dotterer, two hundred and ten alarm clocks that go off before quarter to nine on Saturday mornings. To Miss Watson, a 'isteadyn group of girls who do not have to be muzzled during observation. To Mr. McKelvie, just one class who is unobservant of what the correct young man should wear.

To Miss Brooks, just one girl who is able to use a library file in the technical manner. To Miss McElwee, the magic of making two Beginning Teachers out of one. To Mrs. MacMillan, our appreciation for the subtle wit and repartee that makes these MacIVIillanisms so priceless.
