Freshman: “What does Ralph Hileman do for a living?” Soph: “Why, he takes collections in chapel.” Flunk and the class flunks with you, dig and you dig alone. ’Tis love that makes the arms go round.

I never can study on a snowy day like this. I never can study on a cold day like this. I never can study on a hot day like this. I never can study on a beautiful day like this. I never can study the day before a holiday. I never can study the day after a holiday. But They All Amount to This “I never can study.” AS WE HEAR THEM Newell—I should worry. Rcba Tennant—I no want to. Dr. Lymer—I strongly advise that— Goehring—Oh, Ilerold. Grace Weir—Oh, those awful Juniors! Florence Buck—Ish Ga Frett. Ethel Forsythe—Gee! Prof. Johnson—That is all for today. Prof. King—To be sure, dearie. Miss Baldwin—A-man (so be it). Dr. Booth—Does any one know where he is, he wasn’t at chapel Miss Rader—You, and you, and you, and you. Fimmen—A hair in the head is worth two in the brush. Dr. Leist—Meals served at all hours. •«

Prof. Blair: “There are places where people don’t even gossip.” Anita Crips: “Where ???????” DO LOOKS DECEIVE? At Y. W. C. A. reception. Inez King and Ollie Mauch dressed like little girls and eating animal cookies. Inez (as she found a cookie with a raisin on it) : “Oh, Ollie, I have a raisin.” Ollie: “You don’t look to me as though you ever had any raisin.” THE RESULT OF AN ECONOMIC MIND Percy Caris (telling about running his auto into a flock of sheep and describing the way the wool flew). Fimmen.- “Was there any tariff on that wool?” Percy: “Yes, it was nearly all tore-olY” (tariff).
