I . THE INKANQUIL Wrmh PAGE 25 PROF. MOYER SPEAKS On the morning of March 10, the College was invited to hear Prof. Moyer of the University of Kan- sas speak on The Chemistry of Common Things . Prof. Moyer's lecture was about sodium, chlorine, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and liquid air. He told something of the properties of each of these elements, and about some of their compounds. The lecture was ac- companied by many interesting demonstrations, and those who were inclined to sleep were staid 'by numerous explosionsthruout the lecture for the purpose of showing the inflamibility of some substance or the power of some high explosive. The audience was most impressed by the liquid air demonstration in which several articles such as flowers, rubber balls and cranberries were frozen in a very few seconds by submerg- ing them in liquid air. Prof. Moy- er performed an experiment in which he burned a steel watch spr- ing in liquid oxygen which has a temperature of nearly 3300 degrees below zero. ORATION AND DECLAMATION The Junior College Declamation and Oratorical Contest was held in Independence this year, and contestants were sent by five schools. The contestants and their selections were as follows: Declamation The White Hands of Telham by Reba Sisk of Parsons, The Last Leaf by Dorothy Decker of Coffey- ville, Wee Willie Winkle by Rachel Gansel of Independence, The Laughter of Leen by Helen Alex- ander of Arkansas City, and The Melting Pot by Earnest Morrison of Fort Scott.

'McMichael of Arkansas City, and The Common Citizen by Charles Wogan of Fort Scott. Both the declamation and the oration contests were very close, and the judge must have had a hard time picking the winners. His decision placed Fo1't Scott first, Parsons second, and Coffeyville third in declamation. In oration Arkansas City was first, Parsons second and Coffeyville third. The affirmative debating team, Miss Rachel Gansel, Mr. Harold Bullock, and Mr. James Gilmore, were the house guests of Mr. and Mrs. William Russell, the parents of Miss Pearl Russell, librarian, while in Arkansas City. 410101011izozoxozozoxoxuz I: 55 C.

Prof Suderman is well versed in the handling of books and, no doubt, will be an efficient advisor.. One member of the faculty was heard to remark, I hope he impresses the fact upon the students' minds that they must not tear the leaves out of the books. We hope so too because Miss Russell is very severe in her punishment for such an offence. It is with deep regret that 'we hear of the complete, positive and absolute nervous breakdown of Fred CFritzJ Colburn, due to over- work and overstudy. We have all seen how desperately hard Fritz has studied all year. Many have urged him to cease this strenuous work, but to no avail. Startling facts have been reveal- ed-Prof. Montgomery has con- sented, after much persuasion, to pose for the Lucky Tiger Hair Tonic Co. It is understood that Prof. Montgomery is to receive S100 a sitting, and if he sits often enough it is assumed he will ac- cumulate a small fortune. Prof. Montgomery is to be commended for his service to mankind. On many a bottle and sign' board, and in, many a newspaper we wilL meet our own Prof. Montgomery. Infamous Quotations Monotony is the spice of life. Dishonesty is the best policy. Politeness is to do and say the rud- est thing in the rudest way. Never be tardy unless you happen to oversleep. Prof. Owen was seen recently hurrying away from a news stand tucking several magazines under his arm-among them were: Snap- py Stories, Whiz Bang, and the Wild West Weekly. It has been learned that Mr. Myers keeps a very exact schedule with his dates. Six weeks seems to be the limit for each girl. We advise his future wife to persuade him within six weeks or all is lost. Minister: Are you a Christian? 'Harold B.: No, Pm a freshman. Prof. Owen was heard to remark at the beginning ofthe year that he did not believe the Hudson Car was practical, but now whether it is practcal or not he loves to drive or to be driven in one. Yes, we have good evidence, and, besides, Prof. Myers assures us it is true. ...,l..1--..i.-. Can you imagine- Prof. Suderman without his portfolio? Prof. Montgomery with a shock of hair? Prof.. Myers with sheik hair ? Prof. Austin flunking a math exam? Prof. Woods with straight hair? Lola McDaniel being on time? Katherine Potts without her gum? Jimmie Gilmore without Ruth? Jake Endres being quiet? Fritz Colburn embarrassed. Blossom, Salisbury sober? Josephine Blades flunking? Charles Hoffman a great lectur- er. Jimmie Stevens without Margar- ite? C Alford Prescott skinny? Miss Russell with hoop skirts? Bee DeVore without Fritz? Russell Greenlee having a ser- ious thought? Pollyg Burkett with curly hair? Jay Mason missing an athletic game? Qualifications for a Student 1. Must not be afraid of any of the teachers. 2. Must get your bluff in on them. 3. Must be able to throw chalk and erasers accurately. 4. Must arrive 'twenty or thirty minutes late to class at least three mornings in the week. 5. Must bring candy or gum to school every day. 6. Must loaf in the halls, slam the doors and make all confusion possible. 7. Must not pretend to writeg go to sleep instead. 8. Must never ,hand work in on time. We understand that Miss Austin is doing light housekeeping this winter, in order to be prepar- ed-for the worst? . Life is a joke, And, all things show itg Look at the sophomores, And then you'll know it.
