14 THE LA WREN CIAN COMPLACENCY. Our minds have become bleak stretches of wet sand. And every thought is like the cross-clawed line The small sandpiper leaves in his too frantic scurry From what his little mind cannot define. We follow him along the lapping edges Of that great depth, that unplumbed vast of blue. Retreating as each wave comes in, through no new fear Save hatred for the very new. ELEANOR EUNICE HOLLISTER.

THE LAWRENCIAN 13 Alvin replied that he’d eat breakfast, but he’d forego the pleasure of lunch. Whereupon a third member of the party offered to give Alvin ten dollars if he so much as dared sit down at the dinner table. Needless to say, all bets were cancelled. Edith Lipton, home from Skidmore, says that she’s simply cur-razy about the school. In the same breath she says that the school is simply curr-rrazy about her. I’ll bet she was rushed to death, poor girl. After all, how often does Skidmore get Lawrence girls? What an honor! What an honor! In writing this column, I find it impossible to neglect the opportunity of mentioning the young lady who presides over the destinies of Mr. MacDonald’s office. This tyrannical person repulses all advances at friendship. Unsuspecting freshmen desirous of being helpful are quickly discouraged. Long suffering seniors are at a loss in her presence. They quake in their shoes. Their teeth chatter. They know not what to expect at the hands of this brutal damsel. She never smiles. Her sense of humor is woefully warped. When ot busy with routine duties, she sits behind her desk and plans diabolical acts against the innocent student body. At the monthly teacher’s meetings, she tells awful things about the students in question, influencing the easily led members of the faculty. The school is at her mercy. At the mercy of a merciless woman! And in conclusion, dear reader, I want you to decide who is the biggest liar, Baron von Munchausen or myself. Vas you dere, Charlie? ? ? ---------o--------- IN TOUCH WITH THE GRADS. by MARJORIE PORTUGAL The Lawrence alumni are scattered far and wide----- At the University of Pennsylvania, Eddie Kohn and Fred Kugel are enrolled. Eddie says the coeds are not so hot, but outside of that, college is pretty good. He’s a pledgee now for the Phi Sigma Delta Fraternity. Ray Kent writes from Duke that Bob Demme, an “old-timer” of Lawrence, has been bid for Alpha Kappa Psi. honorary business fraternity. Ray’s address is Box A A 93. Duke Station. Durham. North Caroline- and only blondes are accepted. Bob Murray is keeping up the name of Lawrence by being made President of the Freshman Class at Alfred University—and speaking of Alfred University, picture Helen Brunswick marching around the campus in pajamas while her dormitory was burning down. Jane Haber is doing some study on international problems at Michigan and her “latest” is a Frenchman. Nathaniel Hirsh and Donald Billard. another “old-timer,” are registered in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Department of Civil Engineering, respectively, at Resnnelaer Polytech. And for the benefit of the freshmen—the man with the pencil glued to his ear is Arthur Wolf and that motor-cycle speed ace is Douglas Sellers, both last year’s graduates. —MARJORIE PORTUGAL.

THE LAWRENCIAN 15 BIGGEST SCANDAL “SCOOP” OF THE YEAR! PRISCILLA DEAN RUNS OFF WITH WELL-KNOWN NEIGHBORHOOD BEAU BRUMMEL ! Boston. Mass., May 13, 1631. Priscilla Dean, one of the best liked of the season’s debutantes, has eloped right under the nose of her fiance. Captain M. Standish. with his best friend, Mr. J. Alden. Our special reporters have been hard at work on the job ever since Mrs. Dean has stopped weeping huge crocodile tears. Bride and groom seem to be doing very well, excepting the fact that all the bride can be made to say is “Speak for yourself, John.” This startling statement has not yet been fathomed by our astute reporters, but new developments are expected very soon. We have succeeded, however, in getting from the,groom the statement that the happy (we hope) couple will take up its residence in the new “Duplex” on Main Street after their return from their honey-moon to Bermuda. They will sail on Friday on the S. S. Mayflower. Our reporters, after interviewing Mr. M. Bottsford. the owner of the “Duplex” understand that there has been a little controversy about the rental because Mr. Alden wants a radio AND a Kelvinator, while the apartment furnishes only the radio. However, we hope the outcome of the affair is in the affirmative as Mr. Bottsford is in dire need of funds at present. As yet, the couple has had no quarrels, but one is expected any minute now. Ring-side seats may be obtained at office of the Daily Chronicle on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. This affair will be resumed in our next edition at 6:00 P. M. RUTH FRANKFURTER.
