'E , fy? H E.: - A, itgliii - 4 ik Y. M. I.eY. L. A. Tramp At about 7 :30 last Saturday night a jolly crowd of Y. M. I. and Y. L. A. mem- bers collected at the college. Each wore the characteristic attire of the traditional tramp. After a generous course of sherbet had been served each tramp was out- fitted with two or three mysterious looking sacks. At the order of the chief each took unto himself another for a partner and the annual Tramp had begun in earnest. The leaders wandered around town for a time and a stop was made at Pike's corner where each girl was presented with a leaf which bore upon it the name of the partner for the next heat. At Gray 's corner another halt was made and each received a generous allowance of candy confections. Another change of partners occurred at Hutchisonls where pickles held the prominent position on the menu. Forward march was the signal until the power house was reached where another halt was made and the tramps divided in two lines on either side of the car tracks. The girls were stationed in line with respect to height on one side of the track and the boys stationed on the other side in reverse order. The arrangement produced several queerly matched couples and much amusement on the part of the rest. The company proceeded through the chautauqua park and halted at the south side from where Green and Repp were despatched to meet the freshmen returning on the 9 o'clock from the football game with Marshalltown high school. Camp was struck just west of the power house. Here, after playing games and partaking of the handouts which the mysterious sacks disclosed, an interesting toast program was given around a rousing camp fire. - To.xsT PROGRAM Toastmaster, TOMLINSON. Partners, Bnssm Rieos. The J aunt, AUSTIN REPP. The Feed, RUTH STEELE. The Finish, THOMAS TMCTXIILLAN. After the above program the company sang songs and told stories and at about 11 130 the tramps departed in squads of two for Toledo. The consensus of opinion was that this was the best tramp ever held in the history of the two societies. -Record. eras

Philoe Callie Trot Promptly at 7:30 on October the third a laughing, enthusiastic crowd of Philos and Callies started their march from the gym on the annual trot which has come to occupy the prominent place among the social gatherings of the two societies. Phyllis Ward served the children with animal crackers and the route began through the college woods, east of Beatty Hall. The first stop was the cemetery where a change of partners occurred and a hasty departure was urged by all the girls. The couples took the Lovers' Lane route to Tama. Farmers enjoying their early retirement were awakened by the merriment of the trotters and expressed themselves as to the irresponsibility of the present generation. ,The grove at the rear of Miss Appleton's home was reached only too quickly. Weenies were roasted in the flame of a huge bonfire and washed down with mineral Water from Appleton's spring. Here the steady couples took time for breath, the pace up to this time having been faster than their usual gait. Starting from the Appleton home, the trotters turned their steps toward To- ledo. At this point the girls were very seriously embarrassed by the necessity of choosing their next partner. Some of the new girls were especially discom- fitted at this new duty thrust upon them. About half way home all were halted and stationed in battle array. A charge by the boys upon the girls for partners for the remaining distance was the cause of some satisfaction to the speedy but not a little chagrin to those less favored in ground covering propensities. With prospects of a good feed ahead and on account of the lateness of the hour, the company returned in haste to Toledo where an excellent banquet was served at Hunnicutt's cafe.

The trot is something which is looked forward to with more expectation each year. It affords an excellent op- portunity for getting acquainted and inspiring some of the new members with the society spirit. Such an informal gathering cannot fail to remove a great share of bashfulness and reserve on the part of the freshmen.-Rccorcl. K'-'-leave'-+

Words can be all to striving soul Either to help or retard from its goal, Or to cast a light on a wanderer's .track Who has little of hope and little to reck. Some words like a two-edged sword may fall To wound and deaden the lives of all, Others may come as a mother's prayer Or the vesper song on the evening air. There are words that bring sorrow, anguish and pain, We ever regret, but repeat them again, Some that we utter, like the sun-kissed dew, Are brim full of radiance and tenderness too. The world would be brighter and sweeter by far Than our fondest dreams of the heavens are, If only in speech we were thoughtful and kind And remember that words can brighten the mind. May time only hasten and bring in the day When words that are hurtful pass ever away And only soul-lifting words we'll impart To gladden and uplift the downcast heart, Tliiltif T. MCM
