Whistling-The Immortal Art XVhistling-the immortal artg I say immortal because how could such shrieks as emitted by most of humanity, when they indulge in the so-called whistling, be called earthlyg and I say art because according to the best authorities, all else passes, art alone endures. XVhy else would this nerve-racking occupation have endured so long? By definition, whistling is an ill wind that nobody blows good. Woe unto the lad who gulps down three of his largest fingers, and with a mighty gasp draws into his lungs, buckets of air used in hurling forth a blast which has the power of a steam engine, the loud- ness of a siren, and the penetrability of a pig's squeal. It is he who fulfills the definition to its 'umpteenth degree. It is he who causes the very skeleton to shudder and shiver beneath the skin. To say that this is the only type of whistle enjoyed by humanity would be an injus- tice to the majority of high school lads who go about with lips puckered and faces twisted, making the halls sound like a gulls' rookery. There is the rosy, apple-cheeked whistle that goes merrily along, inserting a lilt here and a variation there, until the tune is :i mere jumble and completely unrecognizable even to its composer, and there is the soft, serene whistle which picks for its theme a mellowed old favorite to float upon the breeze like the fuzz of the cottonwood in autumn. Ah, yes, these are truly beautiful whistles-if only they were in tune. As practiced by the birds. whistling is a marvelous achievement, and one full of many possibilities: but as maltreated by the lips of humanityg-it is awful, in accordance with the fullest meaning of the word. And until the time comes when man equals bird in pour- ing forth his song, whistling will ever remain an immortal art. GEORGE KAPLAN, '3 S, Q E 2:1111-fu

TRIVIA QXVitl1 Apologies to Logan Persall Smithj STARDUST It gets so tiresome being the same person all the time. lid like to be able to be some- thing else whenever I wanted to. I wish I could be the wind. I'd cool the hot countries and warm the cold ones, I'd blow the roof off all the schools. I'd like to be queen just for one day. I want to be a cow-boy and sleep under the stars all alone. There's lots of things I'd like to be if I didn't have to be mvself. Es'rHER KRARBE, '3 S. GREEN CHEESE Such a life, being me. I wish I were an astronomer and a great scientist, and could create a rocket to shoot me to the moon. Ilve always yearned for green cheese. RITA Df4.r.RR, '3 S. PINK ELEPHANTS I wish I could be a large Spanish galleon lying at the bottom of an ocean. I should like to control the color of the sea. I wish I could see the people on Mars. Most of all I should like to be a rider of Pink Elephants. ARTHUR RUSH, '3S. KING SOLOMON I wish I were a great artist and had the power to paint great masterpieces. I wish I were a great musician, I would like to travel the world over and explore unheard-of places. I would like to have many books. I would like to have been King Solomon. But I have to be the same old person. MARY Rose, '35, NOT SO TRIVIA How nice to be an explorer, a Columbus, a Byrdg to seekg to findg to conquerg to ex- plore. Or a fly or antg to live Z1 life of ceaseless struggle. I wish I were a cigar with 21 core of Poe, a leaf of Shakespeare, with a wrapping of O. Henry. Oh, to be immortal! GEORGE KA1'-LAN, '3S. POLKA-DOT PONY I wish I could be perfect in everything for a short time. I wish I could live every- where at the same time. I should like to be a deep-sea diver and a parachute jumper. I should like to live in the ancient days of Chinese civilization and I should like to visit Mars. I'd like to have a polka-dot pony. KATHERINE PULTZ, ,3 S. Eighty-revs '34
