ney. 0ur genial friend and teacher, Mr. Brown, played the part of candy advertiser and distributed lemon drops to the fair ones. When the last curve was turned and the pavilion was in sight, the C. C. yell sounded and resounded in the narrow canon. Soon the delightful climb to the top was in order. After safely de- positing the lunches where they do the most good, games of many descriptions were played on the highly polished floor of the pa- vilion. After a very enjoyable day, the party returned on the four o' clock train with Mr. Francis as escort. The excursion was one to be long remembered by all the participants. The L. M. U., a Commercial Course fraternity, was feasted with a banquet held in Room 5, Sand-street building, Thursday, May 17. About fifteen were present. Mr. Francis was the guest of the Club.

Oh ! those bewitching blue eyes of Miss Dana's. Yum ! Yum ! Why is Earl Tubbs like a ball of twine? Because he is wrapped up in himself.

The principal feature will be a jewett Qduetj by Danziger and Schulman. They will introduce two new keys into the musical world, I-key and I-key.

There are twelve boys and only four girls, making it im- possible to give an ordinary party. The girls were invited to An Evening with Four Chapters at the home of De Forest Reichard, where they found four of the boys, After refreshments, they were taken to the home of W. A. Ellis, and from there to the home of D. W. Knoll, four different boys acting as hosts at each place. The four teachers of the Course, Messrs. Francis, Wag- ner, Carlson and Brown, acted as hosts at the fourth place, the home of E. W. Fuller, for a few moments, when the folding doors were opened and all the boys were discovered in the next room. Ice cream and cake was served, and souvenirs of the occasion were given the girls. The decorations at each place were in the class colors, red and white. The event was especially enjoyable on account of its being a genuine surprise to the girls. A jolly crowd of eight couple, chaperoned by Milton Carlson and wife, went on a tally-ho ride to Devil's Gate, April 22d. After a pleasant drive through the surrounding country, includ- ing a stop-over at Verdugo Park, the party returned to the city in excellent spirits. The party consisted of Misses Ryder, Camp- bell, Dana, Arnaelstein, Fairbanks, Russell, Handley and Linden- feld. Messrs. Canheld, Rees, Grayson, McCarty, Miller, Raleigh, Danziger and Salyer, and Mr. and Mrs. Carlson. The most en- joyable event of the day was the charge of the Spanish Cavaliers at Verdugo Park g they charged 31.50 as toll for the use of the park. In response to a mysteriously worded invitation given them by the girls, the boys of the graduating class presented themselves at the door of Room 5, Sand-street building, Thursday, April Qoth, at noon, where they were handsomely entertained by the girls. Refreshments were served and toasts were given by the teachers a.nd members of the class. One beautiful day in April, a happy, expectant group of stu- dents of the C. C. might have been seen at Fourth street wait- ing for the too slow Pasadena car to carry them to Rubio Canon, where the most magnificent scenery of Southern California is sup- posed to be found. Many were the pleasant events of the jour-

We had a real good josh on Dan Knoll-how he and Van Norman used to go with the girls-but Dan has been sick, lately, and we are afraid he can't stand it in his present Weak state, so we leave it out. Some comment has been made upon the fact that the scrubbs wander about the hall with open mouths. It does not only in- jure the general appearance of the students, but it is a positive menace to microbes. Don't do it any more, boys, please don't. Mr. Hopkins needs to take a few lessons in arm-swinging, or his success as a debater will come to a sudden finish. The second Czar Reed will be found in the Commercial Course in the shape of Mr. Danziger. Hedderly is law-abiding, if nothing else. A little while ago he drew pen sketches of ducks by the wholesale, but now, since the duck season has closed, he has given up murdering the things and draws conclusions instead. Schulman- Get thee behind me, Satan. Canield- Go to Iersusalemf' Van Norman-K' I tell you, I like brunettes. Everything is coming my weigh, said King, when two of the boys told him that they had gained two pounds in as many weeks. The boys in the B I r Class seem to be having black eyes and red noses all of a sudden g rather suspicious, isn't it? Some boys who are worth a million dollars in college currency lack even three cents to get their collars done up. Itis a wonder the boys wouldn't take their manners with them when they go on a picnic. Ask Van Norman about that snap-shot picture he carries in his purse. Eugene Conway was well supplied at the picnic, with only four girls.
