PAGE TEN z The Staff D The Staff from the Outside Sine Webster’s Encyclopedic Dictionary contains a far more enlightening definition of a stall than can be found in the writer’s dusty interior, and in view of the fact that this literary composition (Book will he used as a good English supplement to Webby’s” new unabridged, the Stall' has arrived at the conclusion that it will be entirely proper to define a Staff as 1. A stick carried in the hand for support: or defense by a person walking, hence a support; that which props or upholds. 2. A long piece of wood; a stick; a pole or stjrk used for many purposes. As it is the writer’s purpose and privilege to till this space In will expand the above knot of human intelligence. The readers must take for granted that the thieves who had nerve enough to charge Si.50 for this work of art are walking, so the meaning of do above may be made clear. Now assuming that all Seniors are either walking or dancing at Rees’ we shall continue. Did you ever ask what committee a Senior was on and what he did for the Annual? If you did you noticed that he carried the Staff in his hand for defense and support. After a lengthy juggle with ifs and “ands the said staff carrier would convey to the questioner a sentence to the effect that the staff would do the work if lie did not. Believing that the first definition is expanded to mean that the Seniors depend on the staff for support the writer will pump up definition number two. A staff is a piece of wood used for many purposes. This definition is not absolutely correct. Here is one nearer correct from a Senior's point of view. A staff is composed of several pieces of wood which may be used for any purpose. All in all, the Staff is the Goat. (I might as well admit that I was relying on the Goat’s digestion to get this article into the annual. The Staff on the Inside From the Top Down Just for “Auld Lang Syne'-'’ sake let us compare the Stall' to a glass of 1%. As I said, we start from the top and go down both literally and figuratively. Start with the foam, the Editor-in-Chief. He is a light fluffy fellow that can be blown about and blamed for all the spots on the bar. He is blown off into a corner Jit the start to get to work polishing the floor. Now for the real stuff the Assistant Editors. No use saying what happens to what they represent. As the real stuff they stand out in the staff as somebody although their job is Microscopic. Crawford who represents the first sip is the office dog, lie collects bits of this and that here and there, adds a little color to tin finished product and keeps the Staff in good humor, just as the first sip adds color and good humor to the sipper. Haherman who represents the next swallow is the staff Dreamer. Just as the last swallow makes a man dream about more, so the soft job on the Staff makes her dreamy. She talks and dreams about soft tinted halls and offices, about big orders, about her private staff office, etc., buf sbe always wakes up and finds that she has rubbed most of the whitewash off the drawing room walls. And now the poor Business Manager. He’s the sediment. The drinker leaves him in the glass forgotten, although he has contributed a great deal to the flavor or the Brew. The barkeeper throws him into the dishwater and he is finally fed to the carp. FISH! I’ll say a man is a fish for being a business manager of such an outfit. Well there’s one consolation—he has an assistant. —R. E. P.
