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.

During your free period be sure to have a chat with your chumg that's what study periods are for. Never concentrate during a recitationg you might ovcrwork your brain. Be sure to chew gum as often as you can during classg the faculty loves to see you exercising your jaws. Don't do your homework unless it is very convenientg you must have pleasure first. Don't read your themes over before handing them ing that's too much trouble. Try to be late as often as you cang the street cars must have passengers at all hours. Always open the doors noisilyg everybody likes to hear you come in. Never lift a chair when you are moving itg it is too heavy. Drop the cover of your desk as often as possibleg Sister doesn't like to forget that you are present. Don't put your head out of the window, as an object might fall from the roofg the violent contact would cause a disturbance. Be sure to hang your coat and hat on the visitors' rack in the hallg that's what it's to be used for. Don't use the dressing room mirror when combing your hairg the one in the visitors' rack downstairs is more convenient. If convenient don't wear your uniformg different dresses make a pleasing variety. Don't use compacts in the class roomg they make too much dust, which is very unhealthy in such places. Don't ask the girls when you want to borrow a bookg just take itg they don't like to be bothered. Use others girls' pencilsg your own might wear out. When hungry, lunch between periodsg that's why the bell rings every forty minutes. Don't use the lunch room at noong it's only there for decoration. Don't ask permission when you wish to be excused from a periodg the faculty doesn't mind your taking French leave. Freshmen, don't experiment by ringing unused bells. All carefully follow these rules and you will become model students. --ADELINE VANDERBECK, 'z6.
