HKAPISONIANV o O l And thus, on and on. Now the business houses are closing. Crestfallen, footssore, weary, with not a grain of false pride swelling his bosom, our plodder trudges home. He meditates. At last wc sec him stop suddenly, clench his fists, and raise his head hopefully. A passerby at this moment might hear him murmur, l have discovered it! It is simple! The art of suc- cessful ad-gathering is-humility and perseverancelu ALLAN BJERGE, '26 THE CHARM OF BEING QUIET Teople who are quiet have a certain charm, it seems to me. They remind me of great pools of water into which one can gaze to endless depths, and find no bottom. Such persons usually see and hear all, but enjoy being quiet and self-restrained. They listen to others expound to the limit of their ability, and discover how much ,these would-be orators do not know. One who talks all the time can be compared to a swiftly flowing river. Such a river seldom has any depths. lt is not noise that accomplishes worth-while things. A man buying an automobile does not buy the one that makes the most noiseg be buys the quiet running motor. VVhen we hear a noisy car. we know at once that something is wrong with it. And is it not the same with a noisy person? Quiet and wisdom usually 'fo hand in band. ' 6 Eur :ENE CHASE, '27, OUR FUTURE Yonder, in the distance, Across that misty sea of time, Wlho knows upon what instant Our steps may lead across the line? 'Tis then our nearness and our dearness lVill be lost to yours, and mine, For what have we in earthly power That can stay the taunting hand of Time? Perhaps even now is fast approaching that hour That will find us at the Holy Gate. 'Tis, therefore, for us to evade Fate's wrath And always keep our footsteps Along the straight and narrow path.

STELLA PIKIEL, '28, ON SEEKING ADVERTISEMENTS FOR AN ANNUAL Securing ads for an annual is an art. lt may be mastered something like this. A young hopeful goes to town in the morning, feeling very enthusiastic about the ads that he knows he is going to rake in. All that talk about being such a job and taking so much nerve, makes him sick. He'll show 'em, Bah! nothing to it. He fairly swaggers into the first place on his list, with chest thrown out, and calls loudly for the manager. l-Sut at this point it is fate's plan to take some of the ginger out of him. A verv crisp looking clerk pierces him with her stoney stare. l scarcely believe, snaps she, that the manager will see you. as he never has time for ordinary matters. The chest of our ad-seeker noticeably diminishes in circum- ference. The self-sure expression fades slightly He mutters, thick-tongued, something about Very important-fine oppor- tunity for people to advertise--. But the calm, insinuating smile of the clerk has its effect. The youth pivots, and slinks out into the cool, cool air. It will take more than this, however, to completely snuff out the spirit of our ardent solicitor. He mops his brow and enters the next den. Here he is momentarily buoyed up by being per- mitted to behold before him, in all his glory, the manager. It is now time for the answer. Sorry, sonny, but we have spent all the money allowed in our budget for advertising. Good afternoon. Out into the cruel world again, a hopeless feeling beginning to seep through his whole system. lnto the next, only a feeble spark left. He makes his wants known. The manager just barely raises his eyes from his work to say, Young man, we do all our advertising from Chicago. C0r Frisco, or Greenlandj. Anyway., youngiman takes the manager's meaning and makes a hurried exit, so that he will not to be given any help in making it. 42 A A A A eeeefe A AAAAAAAAAAAQQA ....61..
