association they have come to see life in a broader and more comprehensive perspective. With the experience received as a member of this fraternity, the members will be better prepared to take the leadership in fratern- ities of higher schools of learning. The mem- bers believe it is a worthwhile organization. The Dark-Lantern Club was organized in March, 1926 and so has been in existence a little over a year. The club has grown stead- ily and now occupies a large room in the Laderer Clothing Company building. The members of the club here in Independence are as follows: David Argo, Howard Burns, Floyd Colburn, Jake Endres, James Gilmore, Rus- sell Greenlee, Charles Hoffman, Kenneth Leech, Jack Lugenbeal, Joe New'ell, Dale O'Brien, John Pinkston, Alford Prescott, Wallace Scott, Harold Shile, Leonard Stacy, and Paul O'Brien.

The head contains the eyes and branes, if any. The chest contains the lungs and a piece of liver. The stummick is devoted to the bowels, of which they is 5-a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes w and y. Jones was not a fisherman, but his friend Brown persuaded him to go, and Green lent him an outfit. After they had been fishing a few minutes Jones turned to Brown and said, What do you call that little do-dad that floats on the water ? That's the bob, said Brown. Well, I'll have to get Green another one, the one he loaned me has sunk. The only time a horse gets scared nowa- days is when he meets another horse. 2 Q ! Q Q Q TEXACO Q Q Q e Q L Q Q U 1 , !

4.-,, ,W , The Dark-Lantern Club The French may have their National Acad- emy of notables, but the Independence Junior College has her Dark-Lantern club. The two are synonymous except in-one respecetg you must be famous before you are admitted to the French National Academy, while with the Dark-Lantern Clubino, I'm not going to say you must be infamousj, you gain your protuberance after ,you have struggled through the mighty oath of membership. The club is primarily a social organization, but its activities extend also into the remote depths of sagacious administration. The club works in the closest cooperation with the faculty of the college. What the college profs. do not cover in their daily excursions through the labyrinth of intellectual disillus- ionment, what they fear to mention in our sacred halls of mental dispersion, or what floats defiantly by just on the far side of their cerebral horizon is left to the enlighten- ment of the intellectual athletes of this pe- dantic organization. No field of thought is spared from the crushing embrace of this octopus-like sodality of learning. On the cold winter nights when nature in all her crew:niui0:010141111010101411010 1010103 fury is raging without, the members of the club assemble in security in their occult dom- icile. While the lights are burning low, they sit around the open fire and there pour forth volumes of erudite philosophical, scientific, and theological quotations by the hour. It has been truly said that a person listening from the outside would in a short time find himself a tangible affinity of a munificent education. This organization has in all seriousness been a great asset to our junior college. lt has, far above any other factor of college life, suceeded in creating a spirit of comradship among the men of the junior college that was sorely lacking before its organization. By its activities a stronger spirit has been fused into the social life of our college. The club probably deserves its greatest praise for what it has accomplished for its members individually. Many a fellow at the time of entrance in our club was as green as any frosh could have been, but by the frankness and associations that he encounter- ed as a member of the club he was soon trans- formed into a-well-a college man.
