 Several of our fair co-eds promise their commencement guests a visit to the Photographic Studio of Mr. and Mrs. Will Dyall, just next door north of the library. This little studio is of national fame for the beautiful portraits which have received state and national honors at Photographers' Conventions. Callers are always cordially welcomed and find much to interest them in the exhibition of beautiful portraits, all the work of the artists, Mr. and Mrs. Dyall. The Remington Typewriter The Logical.

A SENIOR AUTO If I wished to make an automobile 1 could find plenty of material for its construction in the Senior class. For the body of the machine I should use C. B. Johnson’s shoes, and his ears for the mudguards; both are sufficiently large. Truitt would make splendid axles because he is so well seasoned. Jonnie’s neck would make excellent tires, for it is all rubber. Lillian Piper would do for the steering wheel; she is so easy to turn. For the crank Earl Tovcra is one made to order. Frye would answer for the honk-honk, as he has such a good whistle. For brakes I would use Hunter; he is always broke. Wahl would make a serviceable windshield, for it never blows around him. For a headlight I would use Akerson’s dome; it’s such a good shiner. Crane would furnish the wheels; he knows how to get them. For a hammer to put the machine together with I should use ( ?)—she is a good knocker. For cushions any member of the class would do; they have been sat on so many times by the faculty in the last four years, they actually feel like upholstered furniture. For air to fill my tires I should resort to almost any Senior. WHAT IS ALWAYS HEARD BEFORE XMAS HOLIDAYS The Grind—“I expect to have one grand time during my vacation period. No, I do not intend to take a single book home with me.” 'Flic Profs.—“Well, I wish you all a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year. Forget all about your books and come back ready to do the best work you have ever done.” The Average Student—“Every book that I have goes home with me. I expect to make up all of my work and be prepared for the exams. But I will have to burn a lot of midnight mazda if I catch up.” The Dateless Coed—“Oh, I just wish that you could go home with me once during vacation time. I am sure I could get a man for you to go with. Do you know, I just have so many dates when I am home for Xmas?” AT “HEBE’S” He: “Let’s have a quiet little luncheonette together?” She: “Oh, no! Let’s have some soup, too?”

SUGGESTIONS Plan of Course for Freshman English, First Semester I. '1 hemes. A theme of one hundred words must be handed in at each meeting of the class or before six o’clock on day of meeting of class. This theme may be written by an upper classman or taken from a last year’s notebook. In case a translation is called for, good translations arc to be found near the northeast window in the city library. Try to find a page that has not been thumbed over and you are not so liable to get someone elsc’s translation. Ponies may be borrowed from Juniors and Seniors. Once a month a theme of from 800 to 1000 words is to be handed in. If this theme is copied from some well-known source change a few words to give it an appearance of originality. 2. Conferences. Conferences of from five minutes to two semesters are held after each long theme. The purpose of these conferences is to secure aid from the teacher in deciphering marks of correction on the papers. 3. Notebooks. Each student must secure a loose-leaf notebook. In it must be kept (a) class assignments, jokes, puns, et cetera; (b) any information given by instructor. If this is put on the first page of the book place it somewhere above the third line from the top. (c) Synopsis of readings; those that arc cut from magazines should be pasted in rather than pinned in. 4. Required Reading. Each student (and any others registered for this course) must do reading to the extent of 1250 pages during the semester. Not more than 700 pages to be taken from one author. The following are suggested: Saturday Evening Post. Bunyan’s “Pilgrim’s Progress.” “Ten Nights in a Barroom.” “Bound to Rise” (Alger). B. L. T. “Through the Window at the Black Cat.” “Robinson Crusoe.” . Red Book.
