NVhile he was mercilous towards those juicy inhab- itants of the Labyrinth already mentioned, he did not relish the musty taste of those fortunate grinds addieted to boninig.

There is something elu- sive, something intangible, about this new monster. Therefore, we the elass ot' '21 do with all eeremoniy bellueath to the juniors our shining armor and our pointed spears. Seek out the lair of this new perseeutor before he becomes too mighty. live gitve you our benedietion,-the fate of generations of seniors is in your hands.
