AT THE JUNIOR PICNIC Kemble: “Have you any pickles down there, Miss Bloomquist?” Miss Bloomquist: “Yes, I got one down a minute ago.” THE TEST He: “You arc the breath of my life.” She: “Did you ever try holding your breath?” ON THE FARM Mr. Ratliff: “Paul, you aren’t getting much milk from that cow any more. What is the matter?” Paul Ratliff: “I guess I’m kind o’ losing my pull.” ABSENT Dr. Lcist (in Second German) : “Anyone may answer that.” After a pause—“I guess he is not present today.” GEMS FROM FRESHMAN ENGLISH PAPERS “He wore a light overcoat, and as he came in he sniffed the air and unbuttoned even that.” “Every boy was covered with mud on his hands and feet.” “The young man took up rooms in an apartment house under an assumed name.”

SUGGESTIONS FOR FRESHMEN Greet the professors felicitously; you may want to make Iota Phi. Do not walk in campus paths. Never sing at regular chapel service. It only makes you look foolish. Pay your News subscription by December 1 (political reasons). Go to class whenever possible. Rush some girl steady before the Thanksgiving banquet. Tip your hat to young ladies and Seniors. Plan to go home every week-end. Never veil at a football game. There is a yell leader elected to do that. If possible keep on speaking terms with the Sophomores. You will need humility when you return home. AN INTERESTING ANNOUNCEMENT Dr. Lymer (reading chapel announcements) : “Geneva slides in the biological laboratory tonight at seven-thirty. Everyone invited.” THE MOST ESSENTIAL THING Senior (to Freshman) : “Do you know what Wesleyan needs most?” Freshie: “A new science building.” Senior: “Yes, we need that, but—” Freshie: “Oh, yes; more interest in literary societies.” Senior: “That is true; but what we need most is—” Freshie: “Now I have it! A new faculty!” Senior: “That may be so, but if you will listen a minute—” Freshie: “That’s easy now. A bigger Freshman class.” Senior: “No; what Wesleyan needs most is a winning football team. A NEW STUDY Blakeslee: “Did you ever take morphine?” Blakeway: “No; who teaches it?”
