The Sphinx I I c'All mules ccme not from lVIissouri, quoth Smith, he of the auburn thatch. Hee-hawn, agreed Erma Iirdman. 4'You are entirely too personalw, firmly vetoed lXfIiss Richmond. 'cW7ho is next, Lois Johnson?', At this juncture station N-U-T-S again came upon the air, UI know a peache 'All VVool and about a Yard Wridew. c'I'm afraid she Wouldn't take it in the right spiritw, commented the cautious Smith. . Yehl came the votrolic reply, I suppose you figgered 'Slip' 'ud take that dig about his ears in the right spirit. HIf you boys donlt keep still, I,ll send you both to the off-f-fl Here 'LRichie'7 remembers that school is out at 3:45, so- 'LHoW's this for Meta Stahl-'VVorth her weight in gold,'?U 4'It's just about as sensible as 'Stay back, the ice is thin ', commented Nuts in a sarcastic tone, then, Wearily, '4I'm sleepy, le's do somp'n else. 4'Very Wellv, agreed lVIiss Richmond in a dangerous voice. c'VVe will go on to the teachers' linesf' They sure got a line, cut in john Adams, but he subsided when he noticed the halo of blue smoke around 4'Richie's,' centerpiece. Reuben got really scared at this juncture and spoke in a quavering voice, UW'-W-Whatill We have f-f-for lNIr. D-d-d-darnall? Almost immediately arose a snappy answer from Nellie VVeston, 4'IVe, who are about to die, salute youl S-s-sall right, n-now for lN'Ir. B-b-bond,-7' '4Speak for yourself, johnf, again from Nellie. At this juncture Reuben recovered his composure with a sniffi Say I smell somp'n to eat, le'see Where it is. He arose and would have gone, but the tre- mendous hand of Chuck', Rivenburg seized his coat-tails, even as c'Chuck's', mother brung out th, grub . Houdini's far-famed disappearance act Wouldnlt have stood a chance against the Way that food Went. Approximately at the same time as Redus finished licking the last Hovver off his dish there came a scratching and Whining at the door. Reuben rose and flung open the portal. I,ll be jiggered, it's Smitty's dog: they've sent him after 'Red'.,' Thais an A-I dog,H commented 4'Nuts . Looks more like a K-9 to me, dryly supplemented Adams. Now donat hurry home , begged L'Chuck as he gave NRuke a surrepti- tious shove toward the open door. Gimme another piece of that cake, an, I'll go,', calmly announced Reuben as he reached for his coat. Here y,are , and Marcus Aurelius proffered the article to him. Reuben grabbed thedainty and bolted out the door, hotly pursued by the remainder of the staff. I Want part-Gimme some-Remember the gum I gave you , etc, mock- ingly floated back to Rivy and he murmured as if to himself, MI hope the next time they meet is in jail. HUSBANDS ON APPROVAL Husbands on Approval , the Senior play, is about a girl Who has four pro- posals in one night, but she does not know Which to accept, so she asks her ad- mirers to visit her for thirty days, at the end of which she will name the lucky man. The first day, one gains the advantage by saving her from a fire. Cir- cumstances make her suspect him of not being true. At the end of the thirty

His portentious frown disappeared as he perceived his visitors, the G. T. H. S. annual stall. How do you do, one and all, he greeted as the bread line trudged solemnly into the house. A few moments later the Nuts were satisfactorily seated around the dining-room table with 4'Ruke Hamann surreptitiously stealing sugar. '4Xow, Klarcus Aurelius Fortunatus Rivenburg, beat it, commanded HChuck'l as work began. 4'The object of this meetingf, said lN'liss Richmond, His the selection of ap- propriate lines for the senior picturesf' l'Yes,ll sadly agreed Redus, Darwin knew his stufff, Aw, dry upf' hastily interposed Rukel', as he noticed Redus looking straight at him.

I 2 Thr Sphinx days, she finds that one of the suitors has fallen in love with her sister, another with her maid, and the other with her mother, who is a widow.

Pauline Fitzjerrell Rita Glover . , Beatrice Ellinwood hfrs. Glover , . . . Susie Sears Catherine, the maid . . Erma Erdman Samuel Glover . . . John Adams Hamilton Seaver . Reynolds Everett Robert Devon . . Viiilfred Stafford Col. Rowe . . Charles Rivenburg Richard Fitzgerald . . Laurel Smith Kratz, a German mechanic . Reuben Hamann CLIFFORD FRANDEN A THE BEACON LIGHT In the middle west, where the sun shines bright And the sky is blue all day, On a lovely rolling prairie site, Stands a little town today. Where there are kind and true folks And happy folks and gay, Xiihere stately maples shade the streets And wild sweet blossoms sway. In this little town where east meets west Stands a building brown and gray, VVhere young and carefree students learn, How to tread down Life's pathway. And this dear school in our prairie town, This year sends some away, Eager to lift the Future's veil, Loath, yet longing, to stay. Some are glad and others grieve That with high school they are through, But their sheep skins clasp with trembling hands, For they're tied with the gold and blue. G. T. H. S. of the western plains, Ol dear old Green and White, To all the corners of the earth Will shine your beacon light, For they who have gone from out your doors And have journeyed far and wide Will surely remember their high school days With love and joy and pride. BERNICE SELNER, ,24.
