 A A .X ! :v Nv 10:30 P. M. at the Hershey Hall telephone. Mysterious Voice: “Miss Calhoun, this is Mr. McMillan of the Mt. Pleasant Electric Light Co. Would you please tell me whether the arc light at the corner of Pearl and Broadway is burning or not?” Maud: “Yes, certainly—wait just a moment.” (Looks out of the window and returns.) “Hello, no, it is not burning now, Mr. McMillan.” Mysterious Voice: “Well, if it comes on will you please blow it out before you go to bed?” Maud: “Why, yes, is it connected with the hall?” Voice: “Yes, ask Miss Rader and she will tell you all about it.” Miss Rader (afterwards): “Never mind, dear, it’s just some of the Betas kidding you.” Faculty Member: “In what course do you expect to be graduated?” Student: “In the course of time.” “He prayeth best who leaves unguessed, The mystery of another’s quest, Why cheeks grow red, why eyes gleam, Or hearts are happy, thou needst not glean, Enough to note, by many a sign, That every heart hath needs like thine. ’ ’ •c

Give a fine concert when we once get started. The next day at Morning Sun, awful poor audience. Lodwick chases Anita’s chair across the platform but does not get it. The audience howls. Everyone had a swell time but are so glad that the trip is so near over. Burlington, hurrah! the last town. Everyone excited and in a hurry to get through. As soon as the last song is sung everyone beat it for the station. Reached home at midnight. Some one spilt a sack of rice when they got off the train and made the ground look awful suspicious. “Jeff” met the train. Everyone was sleepy the next morning, but were back for hard work. Thus ended the Glee Club trip. Prof. Johnson: “The best cure for selfishness is to get the other fellow’s point of view.” Geneva: “Prof. Leist, may we have a window lowered or uppered?” Alumnus: “Well, how are you?” Barker: “Oh, I’m a senior.” Katherine Druse: “There seems to be a strange affinity between a darkey and a chicken, I wonder why?” “Humpy”: “Oh, that’s easy. One is descended from Ham and the other from eggs.” Bill Campbell: “We all go to college, but we don’t all go for knowledge.” Dollie Barker: “Yes, that is so, for I have it from inside authority.” Mr. Burns: “It is an excellent plan for every young man to pay attention to his clothes, but he should bear in mind that the creases he puts in his gray matter are a great deal more important than those he puts in his trousers.” Anna Van Brussel: “We had the grandest looking young preacher at our church last Sunday, why, he was just simply handsome, he was even better looking than Mr. Vandagriff.” ' 1 ifjl , m i § s § vt § § u-fle | | .-v •
