THE EDITOR SPEAKETH Ho-hum! I’ve got that section through, Joke section—pages twenty; There’s just a few more things to do, But those few things are plenty. i Ho-hum! Blair says my essay’s due; ; I’ll start on it tomorrow. Three books to read in German 2. Some brains I need to borrow. 1 J Ho-hum! Prof, says I’ve got to write Chem questions only thirty. This office is an awful sight. Gee whiz! but it is dirty. Ho-hum! I ought to go to work. And do some stuff for Miller. Confound this weather! Shades of Burke! This stuff will make poor filler. Ho-hum! The staff has fled away Like kids vamoose at recess; My brain won’t work on such a day. Let’s beat it to the Princess.
