'S LILIUM CONVALLIUM 53 Advise to the Wise On reaching school, dear Freshman, go directly to the SENIOR CLASS ROOM and INTRODUCE YOURSELF to the SENIORS. Be very FRIENDLY, and make some JOCULAR remark like, WELL, I'M here now, I knew you'd all be waiting to see ME. Strive to he very cordial, and when you see a Senior that you know, walking with a girl unknown to you, STEP RIGHT UP to he INTRO- DUCED. She will be DELIGHTED with your ATTENTION to her friend. Try CONSTANTLY to INCREASE the EFFICIENCY of the SENIORS. If, when talking with a Senior, she uses Tl word incorrectly, very TACT- FULLY CORRECT and EXPLAIN to her the ERROR. You will be com- mended HEARTILY for this. If you feel that the entire SENIOR CLASS is LACKING in a FEW MINOR RESPECTS, talk it over with them in a PATIENT, SYMPA- TI-IETIC MANNER. You will never know how much they will LOVE and RESPECT you for TI-IIS ATTENTION. J Show an interest and a personal delight in serving the SENIORS. Offer your OLD TABLET Ol' your WORTHLESS PENCILS to THEM. Wlmen you see that your WIT and QUICKNESS are placing you AHEAD, explain to the SENIORS your GOOD QUALITIES as well as your EXTRA- ORDINARY INTELLECTUAL ATTAINMENTS. At the SAME TIME tell them KINDLY about their OWN SHORTCOMINGS. IN order that you may not be accused of FAVORITISM, clo this in PUBLIC or at a SENIOR CLASS MEETING. IF you CAREFULLY observe these instructions YOU will be the most POPULAR FRESHMAN that has EVER walked these I-IALLS. -MARIE KLUGE, 'z 6. Freshmen We are the Freshmen of '26, We work with care and vigor, For we're aiming to enter the sophomore class, A class we think much bigger. We try our best to get the work That's given us to learn, And as we journey higher up, Our grades we'll surely earn. -MARY DUFF, ,29.

LILIUM CONVALLIUM A Soliloquy QNVith sincere apologies to Williaiii Shakespearej To diet or not to diet,-that is the questiong Wlietlier 't is better for the health to suffer The pangs and cramps of outrageous hunger Or to take up knife and fork against the host of clainties And hy using, end them. To diet,-to starve,- To starve! perchance to reduce! ayg there's the rubg For in that process of reduction what harms may come Wl1en we have shuffled off sufficient pounds of weight, Must give us pause: There's the respect That makes calamity of dietingg For who would hear the constant gain in weight, The dressmalier's frowns, the thin girl's scornful smile, The pangs of depriv'd sweets, the sealeis delay, The contempt of a slender one, and the spurns That patient toil of the dietician tkes, Wfhcn she herself her figure might improve Wfirh a simple remedy? Who would these insults bear, To grunt and sweat under constant exercise, But that the dread of ill health after diet, The undiscovered ill from whose fast clutches No one may escape, puzzles the will, And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus base fear does make cowards of us allg And thus the native hue of resolution Is triumphed over by the dark trend of thought, And exercises of great work and effort Combined with correct diet are resumed, Till the ideal weight is attained.
